Ê-sai 30
Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible
“The rebellious children are as good as dead,” says the Lord, “those who make plans without consulting me, who form alliances without consulting my Spirit, and thereby compound their sin.
They travel down to Egypt without seeking my will, seeking Pharaoh’s protection, and looking for safety in Egypt’s protective shade.
But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame, and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation.
Though his officials are in Zoan and his messengers arrive at Hanes,
all will be put to shame because of a nation that cannot help them, who cannot give them aid or help, but only shame and disgrace.”
This is a message about the animals in the Negev: Through a land of distress and danger, inhabited by lionesses and roaring lions, by snakes and darting adders, they transport their wealth on the backs of donkeys, their riches on the humps of camels, to a nation that cannot help them.
ИзучениеRa-háp, ngồi yên chẳng động — Tên Hê-bơ-rơ Ra-háp đứng sau cụm từ “hư không vô ích”; đó là một tên thơ ca chỉ xứ Ê-díp-tô (Y-SA 87:4). Ê-sai chế nhạo xứ Ê-díp-tô là “Ra-háp, ngồi yên chẳng động”—hùng hổ nhưng lười biếng.Egypt is totally incapable of helping. For this reason I call her ‘Proud one who is silenced.’”
Now go, write it down on a tablet in their presence, inscribe it on a scroll, so that it might be preserved for a future time as an enduring witness.
For these are rebellious people – they are lying children, children unwilling to obey the Lord’s law.
ИзучениеNhững lời êm ái bị từ chối — Giu-đa muốn các tiên tri ngừng nói sự thật và thay vào đó nói “những điều vui thú”. Phao-lô thấy cùng một khuôn mẫu trong 2 Ti-mô-thê 4:3, nơi người ta vây quanh mình với những thầy giảng chỉ nói điều họ muốn nghe.They say to the visionaries, “See no more visions!” and to the seers, “Don’t relate messages to us about what is right! Tell us nice things, relate deceptive messages.
Turn aside from the way, stray off the path. Remove from our presence the Holy One of Israel.”
For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “You have rejected this message; you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, and rely on that kind of behavior.
So this sin will become your downfall. You will be like a high wall that bulges and cracks and is ready to collapse; it crumbles suddenly, in a flash.
It shatters in pieces like a clay jar, so shattered to bits that none of it can be salvaged. Among its fragments one cannot find a shard large enough to scoop a hot coal from a fire or to skim off water from a cistern.”
ИзучениеTrở lại và yên nghỉ — Sự đáp trả của Đức Chúa Trời đối với ngựa của xứ Ê-díp-tô là “trở lại và yên nghỉ”—quay về với Ngài trong sự ăn năn tin cậy và sự bình tĩnh tin tưởng. Câu “Các ngươi đã không muốn thế!” ở câu 16 cho thấy vấn đề thực sự: từ chối chờ đợi Đức Chúa Trời.For this is what the master, the Lord, the Holy One of Israel says: “If you repented and patiently waited for me, you would be delivered; if you calmly trusted in me you would find strength, but you are unwilling.
You say, ‘No, we will flee on horses,’ so you will indeed flee. You say, ‘We will ride on fast horses,’ so your pursuers will be fast.
One thousand will scurry at the battle cry of one enemy soldier; at the battle cry of five enemy soldiers you will all run away, until the remaining few are as isolated as a flagpole on a mountaintop or a signal flag on a hill.”
For this reason the Lord is ready to show you mercy; he sits on his throne, ready to have compassion on you. Indeed, the Lord is a just God; all who wait for him in faith will be blessed.
For people will live in Zion; in Jerusalem you will weep no more. When he hears your cry of despair, he will indeed show you mercy; when he hears it, he will respond to you.
The sovereign master will give you distress to eat and suffering to drink; but your teachers will no longer be hidden; your eyes will see them.
ИзучениеMột tiếng nói đằng sau bạn — Sau sự đoán phạt, Đức Chúa Trời hứa ban sự hướng dẫn được phục hồi: dân Ngài sẽ nghe “một tiếng nói đằng sau” mình, như một người thầy hướng dẫn từng bước đi. Điều này đảo ngược các câu 9–11, nơi họ bảo các tiên tri ngừng nói.You will hear a word spoken behind you, saying, “This is the correct way, walk in it,” whether you are heading to the right or the left.
ИзучениеTượng thần như vải ô uế — Một “vải dơ bẩn” là ô uế về mặt nghi lễ theo Luật pháp Đức Chúa Trời. Ê-sai hình dung sự ăn năn như việc nhìn thấy tượng thần không phải là kho báu mà là những vật ô uế ghê tởm cần phải vứt bỏ—kể cả bạc và vàng quý giá của chúng.You will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away as if they were a menstrual rag, saying to them, “Get out!”
He will water the seed you plant in the ground, and the ground will produce crops in abundance. At that time your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
The oxen and donkeys used in plowing will eat seasoned feed winnowed with a shovel and pitchfork.
On every high mountain and every high hill there will be streams flowing with water, at the time of great slaughter when the fortified towers collapse.
The light of the full moon will be like the sun’s glare and the sun’s glare will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, when the Lord binds up his people’s fractured bones and heals their severe wound.
Look, the name of the Lord comes from a distant place in raging anger and awesome splendor. He speaks angrily and his word is like destructive fire.
His battle cry overwhelms like a flooding river that reaches one’s neck. He shakes the nations in a sieve that isolates the chaff; he puts a bit into the mouth of the nations and leads them to destruction.
You will sing as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival. You will be happy like one who plays a flute as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel.
The Lord will give a mighty shout and intervene in power, with furious anger and flaming, destructive fire, with a driving rainstorm and hailstones.
Indeed, the Lord’s shout will shatter Assyria; he will beat them with a club.
Every blow from his punishing cudgel, with which the Lord will beat them, will be accompanied by music from the tambourine and harp, and he will attack them with his weapons.
ИзучениеTô-phết được chuẩn bị — Tô-phết, ở Thung lũng Hết-sôm, gắn liền với sự hiến tế trẻ em và sau đó là sự đoán phạt bằng lửa (GIÊ-RÊ-MI 7:31). Ở đây, Đức Chúa Trời đã chuẩn bị nó như một giàn thiêu cho “vua”—trong ngữ cảnh, là vua A-si-ri.For the burial place is already prepared; it has been made deep and wide for the king. The firewood is piled high on it. The Lord’s breath, like a stream flowing with brimstone, will ignite it.
