属天的奥秘 第1394节

(一滴水译,2018-2023)

1394、由于感知能使一个人在一瞬间知道另一个人在爱和信上是何性质,所以灵人和天使照着他们的相似性或一致性而结合起来形成各个社群,也照着他们的不同或冲突而脱离联系。这个过程如此精确,以至于即便是最小的差别也不会把他们联系在一起,或将他们分开。因此,天上的社群彼此如此不同且相互分离,以至于无法想象还有什么比这更不同的;这种不同取决于对主的爱和信的一切差别,这些差别是数不胜数的。天堂的形式就是这样产生的,其性质是这样:它呈现为一个人,或说类似一个人。该形式正在不断完善。

[NCE]1394. Since perception allows one person to see immediately what kind of love and belief another has, people come together in communities insofar as they harmonize, and separate insofar as they conflict. The process is so precise that not the smallest variation fails either to divide or to unite. As a result, communities in the heavens have distinctive characters — as distinct as anyone could possibly imagine. The differences depend on variations in love for the Lord and faith in him, which are countless. From this comes the form of heaven, which is such that it resembles a single human. That form is constantly being perfected.

Potts(1905-1910) 1394

1394. It is owing to the existence of such perception as enables one to know in an instant what is the quality of another in respect to love and faith, that spirits and angels are joined together into societies in accordance with their agreement, and are separated from fellowship according to their disagreement; and this so exquisitely that there is not the smallest difference which does not dissociate or consociate. Hence the societies in the heavens are so distinct from one another that nothing can be conceived to be more so; and this in accordance with all the differences of love to the Lord, and of faith in Him, which cannot be numbered. Hence comes the form of heaven, which is such as to represent one man; and this form is continually being perfected.

Elliott(1983-1999) 1394

1394. The perception which angels and spirits have is such that any one of them can know in an instant the nature of the love and faith in another Hence it is that according to their similarity with one another they are joined together into communities, and according to their dissimilarity they are withheld from such associations. And this is so completely the case that not even the smallest difference fails to draw them together or to set them apart. Consequently the communities in heaven are so distinct and separate from one another that it is impossible to envisage anything more distinct, such distinctness being determined by all the differences of love to and faith in the Lord, which are countless. This is how the heavenly form is produced, the nature of which is such that it presents itself as one human being. And this form is constantly being perfected.

Latin(1748-1756) 1394

1394. Quia talis perceptio est ut unus possit in instanti scire qualis alter est quoad amorem et fidem, inde est quod secundum consensum in societate conjungantur, et secundum dissensum dissocientur; et hoc tam exquisite ut ne minimum differentiae sit quod non dissociet aut consociet; inde societates in caelis tam distinctae sunt ut distinctius nihil cogitari possit et hoc secundum omnes differentias amoris et fidei in Dominum, quae innumerabiles sunt; inde forma caelestis, quae talis est ut unum hominem referat; quae forma continue perficitur.
