《天堂的奥秘》第1006节

(周遇阳译,2025)

1006# “从所有野兽的手”象征来自人里面的一切暴力,这一点可以从“野兽”的含义中明显看出。在圣经中,“野兽”象征有生命的或者活物;但在反义中,它象征着类似野兽的东西,即人里面的兽性。因此,这里指的是那种生活方式的人,即对仁义施加暴力的人,他们的行为与野兽无异。人之所以为人,是因为仁爱与仁义;但当他们被仇恨、复仇心理和残忍所驱动时,便沦为野兽般的存在。

属天的奥秘 第1006节

(一滴水译,2018-2023)

1006、“在一切野兽的手上”表示从一个人里面的一切暴力之物,这从“野兽”的含义清楚可知。在圣言中,“野兽”表示活物,如前所示(908节)。但在反面意义上,“野兽”表示类似野兽之物,因而表示凡在人里面的野蛮之物,也如前所示。因此,“野兽”表示具有这种生命的人,也就是说,一个暴力的人,或一个向仁爱施暴的人;因为他的确像一个野兽。爱和仁使人成为一个人,而仇恨、报复和残忍则使人成为一个野兽。

New Century Edition
Cooper(2008,2013)

[NCE]1006. The fact that at the hand of every wild animal means by everything inside a violent person can be seen from the symbolism of a wild animal. In the Word, a wild animal symbolizes something living, as 908 showed; but in the opposite sense it symbolizes something that resembles a wild animal and so anything bestial inside us, as was also shown earlier [908]. Consequently it means a person whose life is bestial, which is to say a violent individual, or one who inflicts violence on charity. That is the person who resembles a wild animal.
It is love and charity that make us human; it is hatred, vengefulness, and cruelty that make us wild animals.

Potts(1905-1910) 1006

1006. From the hand of every wild beast. That this signifies from all that is violent in man, is evident from the signification of "wild beast." In the Word "wild beast" [fera] signifies what is living (as shown n. 908), but in the opposite sense it signifies what is like a wild beast, thus whatever is ferine in man (as also shown above). Therefore it signifies a man of such life, namely, a violent man, or one who inflicts violence on charity; for he is like a wild beast. Man is a man from love and charity, but he is a wild beast from hatred, revenge, and cruelty.

Elliott(1983-1999) 1006

1006. 'At the hand of every wild animal' means from everything violent residing with a person. This is clear from the meaning of 'a wild animal'. In the Word 'wild animal' means that which is living, as shown in 908. But in the contrary sense 'wild animal' means that which is like a wild animal, and so whatever is savage in man. This too has been shown already. Consequently 'wild animal' means someone whose life is such, that is to say, a violent person or one who does violence to charity; for he is indeed like a wild animal. Love and charity make a person human, while hatred, revenge, and cruelty make a wild animal of him.

Latin(1748-1756) 1006

1006. 'E manu omnis ferae': quod significet ab omni quod apud hominem violentum, constat a significatione 'ferae'; 'fera' in Verbo significat vivum, ut ostensum n. 908, at in contrario sensu 'fera' significat quod instar ferae est, ita quicquid ferinum apud hominem, quod etiam prius ostensum est; quare significat hominem talis vitae, nempe violentum seu qui violentiam infert charitati; nam is instar ferae est: homo est homo ab amore et charitate, at est fera ab odio, vindicta, et crudelitate.
