雅歌生命读经 · 第3篇

蒙呼召藉著与十字架的合一脱离己

Called to be Delivered from the Self through the Oneness with the Cross
1读经：雅歌二章八节至三章五节。在雅歌二章八节至三章五节，基督的佳偶蒙祂呼召，藉著与十字架成为一，得拯救脱离己。这是基督佳偶经历中的第二阶段。有三个紧要的辞帮助我们解释这一段：十字架、己、以及往自己里面看。
1Scripture Reading: S.S. 2:8—3:5 In Song of Songs 2:8—3:5 the lover of Christ is called by Him to be delivered from the self through her oneness with the cross. This is the second stage in the experience of the lover of Christ. Three critical words help us to interpret this section: cross, self, and introspection
2十字架由磐石穴和陡岩的隐密处所表征。（二14。）这些是安全的地方，但很崎岖，少有人愿意往那里去。磐石穴和陡岩的隐密处，的确表征十字架是堕落之人安全的地方。我们所在最安全的地方就是十字架。虽然在雅歌里没有己的表号，但照著基督徒的经历，己显明在第二阶段。在第一阶段，基督的佳偶追求祂，在内室的交通里得著帮助，并进入召会生活，在那里她经历变化。她进入基督的安息与享受，作她完全的满足。然后己就兴起，基督的佳偶开始只顾到要完全。这就是己。己非常狡猾。在马太十六章，当主耶稣揭示十字架的路以完成神的经纶后，彼得就表明他对主的爱，说，『主阿，神眷怜你，这事绝不会临到你。』（22。）彼得以为那是他自己的话。事实上，彼得是从他的己说话，而他的己已经与撒但成为一。主耶稣责备彼得说，『撒但，退我后面去罢！』（23上。）然后主说到否认己。（24。）这启示己是属撒但的人性；己乃是被撒但占有并霸占的人。结果，在堕落人性里的人只顾自己。因为每个人都为自己，所以在各种关系－丈夫与妻子之间，儿女与父母之间，雇主与雇员之间都可以看到自私。
2The cross is signified by the clefts of the rock and the covert of the precipice (2:14). These are places of safety, but they are rugged, and few would be willing to go there. The clefts of the rock and the covert of the precipice surely signify the cross as the place of safety for fallen man. The safest place for us to be is the cross. Although the self has no figure in Song of Songs, according to Christian experience it is manifested in the second stage. In the first stage, the lover of Christ pursues Him, receives help in the fellowship in the inner chamber, and enters into the church life, where she experiences transformation. She enters into the rest and enjoyment of Christ for her full satisfaction. Then the self rises up, and the lover of Christ begins to care only for being perfect. This is the self. The self is very subtle. In Matthew 16, after the Lord Jesus unveiled the way of the cross for the accomplishment of God'secon o my, Peter showed his love for the Lord by saying, "God be merciful to You, Lord! This shall by no means happen to You!" (v. 22). Peter thought that was his own word. Actually, Peter spoke from his self, which had become one with Satan. The Lord Jesus rebuked Peter saying, "Get behind Me, Satan!" (v. 23a). Then the Lord spoke about denying the self (v. 24). This reveals that the self is the satanic humanity; it is man possessed and usurped by Satan. As a result, man in his fallen humanity cares only for himself. Because everyone is for himself, selfishness is seen in all kinds of relationships—between husband and wife, between children and parents, between employers and employees
3我们不该以为我们能属灵到一个地步，不再有己的难处。甚至基督的佳偶，这个羡慕祂、寻求祂、并得著祂的人，仍受己的困扰。我们仍有一部分是堕落并属撒但的，这部分要与我们同在，直到我们物质的身体得赎，直到我们从旧造得赎到极点。这甚至是使徒保罗的情形。他得著许多异象和启示，但他领悟他仍在堕落的人性里。（林后十二7。）虽然我们也仍在堕落的人性里，但我们不该活在其中，也不该凭牠而活。我是一个在基督里年老的信徒，我能见证我越年老，就越受旧造，受堕落、属撒但之人性的困扰。
3We should not think that we can become so spiritual that we no longer have a problem with the self. Even a lover of Christ, one who yearns for Him, seeks Him, and gains Him, is still troubled by the self. We still have a part of us that is fallen and satanic, and this part will remain with us until our physical body is redeemed, that is, until we will have been redeemed to the uttermost from the old creation. This was the situation even with the apostle Paul. He had received so many visions and revelations, yet he realized that he was still in the fallen humanity (2 Cor. 12:7). Although we also are still in the fallen humanity, we should not live in it and we should not live by it. As an elderly believer in Christ, I can testify that the older I become, the more bothered I am by the old creation, by the fallen, satanic humanity.
4我们来到雅歌末了会看见，基督的佳偶至终还叹息，因为她仍在旧造里。她切望完全像基督，完全与旧造的事物无关。她已被神重造成为新造，但照著神的经纶，神允许一部分的旧造仍与她同在。我们也许在追求基督上有一点成功，也许得到一些满足。但这时我们可能会问：『我如何能维持这点？我如何能保守自己在这光景里？』这时己就进来了。
4As we will see when we come to the end of Song of Songs, the lover of Christ eventually sighs because she is still in the old creation. She longs to be fully like Christ, who has absolutely nothing to do with anything of the old creation. She has been remade by God to be a new creation, yet according to God'secon o my, God has allowed a part of the old creation to remain with her. We may have some success in pursuing after Christ and may attain a certain amount of satisfaction. But then we may ask, "How can I maintain this? How can I keep myself in this condition?" At this point the self comes in
5己是由『往自己里面看』这虚假藉口掩饰著进来的。事实上，己由往自己里面看所构成。往自己里面看，就是藉著内省察验自己。圣经教导我们要一直望断以及于耶稣。（来十二2。）我们不该看自己。我们的己不值得看。然而，每个在基督里达到某种满足情形的属灵人，至终都落入往自己里面看，不但察验自己，也分析自己。当我是个年轻的信徒时，我常常看自己，我不喜欢作任何不荣耀主的事。但事实上我不是顾到主；我是顾到自己，顾到别人对我的想法。这样往自己里面看，是属灵生命中最大的软弱，也是最大的仇敌。我们帮助那些寻求属灵的人，也许鼓励他们祷告，并向主承认他们的缺点。这样的祷告和认罪是正常的。然而，在一些事例中，我们该鼓励别人停止认罪，简单的相信耶稣的血洗净他们，并且神是信实的，是公义的，要赦免他们；（约壹一7，；）我们题醒他们神是信实的，要尊荣基督的救赎。
5Self comes in under the false cloak of introspection. Actually, self is constituted with introspection. Introspection is to examine yourself by looking into yourself. The Bible teaches us to always look away unto Jesus (Heb. 12:2). We should not look at ourselves. Our self is not worthy to look at. Nevertheless, every spiritual person who reaches a situation of satisfaction in Christ eventually falls into introspection, not only examining the self but also analyzing it. When I was a young believer, I looked at myself quite often. I did not like to do anything that would not glorify the Lord. But actually I was not caring for the Lord; I was caring for myself and for what others thought of me. Looking into ourselves in this way is the greatest weakness in the spiritual life and the greatest enemy. In helping others who are seeking to be spiritual, we may encourage them to pray and to confess their shortcomings to the Lord. Such prayer and confession are normal. However, in some cases we should encourage others to cease from confessing and simply believe that the blood of Jesus cleanses them and that God is faithful and righteous to forgive them (1 John 1:7, 9), reminding them that God is faithful to honor 9 Christ's redemption.
6我们往自己里面看时，也许一再认同样的罪，以为我们越认罪，就越得著赦免。这种认罪来自属撒但的己；这是在属灵的事上分析自己的结果。惟有基督的十字架，能拯救我们脱离这种往自己里面看所引起的情形。所以，我们需要蒙呼召，藉著我们与十字架的合一，得拯救脱离己。我们与十字架成为一，将自己隐藏在磐石穴中和陡岩的隐密处，我们就会得拯救脱离己。
6When we are introspective, we may confess the same matter again and again, thinking that the more we confess, the more forgiveness we will receive. This kind of confession comes from the satanic self; it is the result of analyzing ourselves in spiritual things. Only the cross of Christ can deliver us from such a situation caused by introspection. Therefore, we need to be called to be delivered from the self through our oneness with the cross. When we become one with the cross, hiding ourselves in the clefts of the rock and in the covert of the precipice, we will be delivered from the self.
壹 藉著基督的交通，凭祂复活的大能
I. BY CHRIST'S RESURRECTION POWER
THROUGH HIS FELLOWSHIP
7基督的佳偶蒙呼召，藉著与十字架的合一，藉著基督的交通，凭祂复活的大能，得拯救脱离己。（歌二8～9。）
7The lover of Christ is called to be delivered from the self through her oneness with the cross by Christ's resurrection power through His fellowship (S.S. 2:8-9
一 祂蹿山越岭而来
A. Coming, Leaping upon the Mountains and Skipping upon the Hills
8『听阿，是我良人的声音。看哪，他蹿山越岭而来。』（8。）这个蹿越表征基督胜过艰难和拦阻的能力。祂这在复活里的一位，的确有路胜过艰难和拦阻。阻碍我们与基督交通的一切难处，都来自我们这边。许多『山』和『岭』阻挠我们来到祂面前，但祂从来不受阻挠，因为祂能『蹿』、『越』。
8The voice of my beloved! Now he comes,/Leaping upon the mountains,/Skipping upon the hills" (v. 8). This leaping and skipping signifies Christ's power to overcome difficulties and barriers. As the One in resurrection, He surely has a way to overcome difficulties and barriers. All the troubles concerning our fellowship with Christ come from our side. Many "hills" and "mountains" frustrate us from coming to Him, but He is never frustrated, for He can "leap" and "skip
9我们如何能到磐石穴，到陡岩的隐密处？我们没有力量这样作。我们能上十字架，惟一的路是藉著祂复活的大能。（腓三10。）所以，基督在复活的大能中临到自我满足的寻求者。
9How can we go to the cleft of the rock, to the covert of the precipice? We do not have the strength to do this. The only way that we can go to the cross is by the power of His resurrection (Phil. 3:10). Therefore, Christ comes to the self-satisfied seeker in the power of resurrection
二 祂好像羚羊，或像小牡鹿
B. Being Like a Gazelle or a Young Hart
10『我的良人好像羚羊，或像小牡鹿。』（歌二9上。）诗篇二十二篇篇题的朝鹿这辞，与复活有关，表征在复活里的基督。基督好像小牡鹿，表征祂的能力乃是复活的大能。
10My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart" (S.S. 2:9a). The word hind in the title of Psalm 22, which is concerned with resurrection, signifies Christ in resurrection. Christ's being like a young hart signifies that His power is the power of resurrection
三 祂站在『我们墙壁』后
C. Standing behind "Our Wall
11『祂站在我们墙壁后。』（歌二9中。）祂站在『我们墙壁』后，表征佳偶往自己里面看，在她的己里产生问题，使她与祂隔开。
11" Now he stands behind our wall " (v. 9 b). His standing behind "our wall" signifies that the lover's introspection as the problem in herself is a separation between her and Him.
四 祂从窗户往里观看，从窗櫺往里注视
D. Looking through the Windows and Glancing through the Lattice
12『从窗户往里观看，从窗櫺往里注视。』（9下。）窗户和窗櫺表征神所设立的开口，使祂能与她交通、来往。无论我们多想把自己隐密的藏起来，基督还是有一扇窗户，能让祂往里观看。因为人成了堕落的，神似乎无法摸著人，或与人有交通。但人的良心是有窗櫺的窗户，是敞开的，给神进来接触堕落的人。我们出去传福音时，该记住这点。我们传福音时，需要学习如何摸著别人的良心。
12He is looking through the windows,/He is glancing through the lattice" (v. 9c). The windows and the lattice signify the openings set up by God for Him to fellowship, to commune, with her. No matter how much we try to hide ourselves secretly, there is a window that Christ can see through. Because man became fallen, there seemed to be no way for God to touch man or have fellowship with man. But the conscience of man is the window with a lattice, which is open for God to come in to contact fallen man. We should keep this in mind when we go out to preach the gospel. As we are preaching the gospel, we need to learn how to touch others' conscience
贰 蒙恳求对良人回应，
II. ENTREATED TO RESPOND AND ENCOURAGED
并因冬天已经过去，
13繁茂丰富之复活的春天
13WITH THE PASSING AWAY OF THE WINTER
已经来到，而得鼓励
AND THE COMING OF THE SPRING OF RESURRECTION IN ITS FLOURISHING RICHES
14在十至十三节，佳偶蒙恳求对良人回应，并因冬天已经过去，繁茂丰富之复活的春天已经来到，而得鼓励。良人恳求祂的佳偶从墙壁后出来。
14In verses 10 through 13 the lover is entreated to respond and is encouraged with the passing away of the winter and the coming of the spring of resurrection in its flourishing riches. The Beloved entreated His lover to come out from behind the wall
一 基督的佳偶在与祂的交通中没有回应祂
A. The Lover of Christ Failing to Respond to Him in His Fellowship
15在十节上半，『我良人对我回应，说，』指明基督的佳偶在与祂的交通中没有回应祂。基督的佳偶若有正确的回应，良人就不需要再说话了。
15My beloved responds and says to me" in verse 10a indicates that the lover of Christ failed to respond to Him in His fellowship. If the lover had given a proper response, it would not have been necessary for the Beloved to speak again
二 她在自己的光景里是下沉的
B. She Being Down in Her Situation
16『起来，我的佳偶，』（10中，）指明她在自己的光景里是下沉的，所以基督在爱里要她起来。每当我们在属灵的寻求上有一点成就，结果就是下沉的情形。这样的情形主
16Rise up, my love" (v. 10b) indicates that she was down in her situation, so Christ asked her in love to rise up. Whenever we have some attainment in spiritual seeking, the result is a down situation. Such a situation is mainly due to the self and introspection
17要是由于己和往自己里面看。
17
三 基督要她从自己下沉的光景里出来，与基督同在
C. Christ Wanting Her to Come Out of Her Down Situation to Be with Him
18『我的美人，与我同去，』（10下，）这话指明基督在对她的珍赏中，要她从自己下沉的光景里出来，与基督同在。这是鼓励的话。
18The words " My beauty, and come away " (v. 10c) indicate that Christ in His appreciation of her wanted her to come out of her down situation to be with Him. This is a word of encouragement.
四 沉睡和试炼的时候已经过去
D. The Time of Dormancy and Trials Being Over
19『冬天已经过去，雨水也止住过去了。』（11。）这指明沉睡（冬天）和试炼（雨水）的时候已经过去，春天（复活）已经来到。五基督复活繁茂的丰富『地上百花开放；百鸟鸣叫的时候已经来到，斑鸠的声音在我们境内也听见了。无花果树的果子渐渐成熟，葡萄树开花放香。』（12～13上。）这里『百花』、『百鸟鸣叫』、『斑鸠的声音』、『开花』、『放香』，指明基督复活繁茂的丰富。这一切都是复活的表征。我们歌唱，就在复活里。每当我们闭口的时候，我们就在冬天。六基督热切要祂的佳偶
19Now the winter is past;/The rain is over and gone" (v. 11). This indicates that the time of dormancy (winter) and trials (rain) is over and that the time of spring (resurrection) is coming. E. The Flourishing Riches of Christ's Resurrection "Flowers appear on the earth;/The time of singing has come,/And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. /The fig tree has ripened its figs,/And the vines are in blossom—they give forth their fragrance" (vv. 12-13a). Here "flowers," "singing," "voice of the turtledove," "blossom," and "fragrance" indicate the flourishing riches of Christ's resurrection. All these are signs of resurrection. When we sing, we are in resurrection. Whenever our mouth is closed, we are in winter. F. Christ's Eagerness in Asking His Lover to Get Away
不再往她里面看，而与祂同在
from Her Introspection of the Self to Be with Him
20『起来，我的佳偶，我的美人，与我同去。』（13下。）这重复的话指明，基督热切要祂的佳偶不再往自己里面看，而与基督同在。然而，人不容易从『往自己里面看』出来。要帮助往自己里面看的弟兄或姊妹，非常困难。有时候这样的人需要一年或更久，才能得著帮助，不再往自己里面看。
20Rise up, my love,/My beauty, and come away" (v. 13b). This repeated word indicates Christ's eagerness in asking His lover to get away from her introspection of the self to be with Him. However, it is not easy for one to come out of introspection. It is very difficult to help a brother or sister who is introspective. Sometimes it takes a year or more before such a one can be helped to get away from the introspection of the self
参 蒙呼召与十字架合一
III. CALLED TO BE IN ONENESS WITH THE CROSS
21在十四至十五节，佳偶蒙呼召与十字架合一。在新约里有关于十字架的明言，但在雅歌里，十字架是由表号所象征。
21In verses 14 and 15 the lover is called to be in oneness with the cross. Whereas in the New Testament we have a clear word concerning the cross, in Song of Songs the cross is signified by figures of speech
一 基督要在祂的佳偶与十字架的合一里，得见她秀丽的面貌，并得听她甜美的声音
A. Christ Wanting to See His Lover's Lovely Countenance and Hear Her Sweet Voice in Her Oneness with the Cross
22『我的鸽子阿，在磐石穴中，在陡岩的隐密处，求你容我得见你的面貌，得听你的声音；因为你的声音甜美，你的面貌秀丽。』（14。）这里基督看她是祂纯一的佳偶（我的鸽子），基督要在祂的佳偶与十字架的合一并联结里（磐石穴和陡岩的隐密处），得见她秀丽的面貌，并得听她甜美的声音。这里我们看见基督呼召祂的佳偶与十字架成为一。关于十字架的这点，在得拯救脱离己这段，乃是中心著重点。
22My dove, in the clefts of the rock,/In the covert of the precipice,/Let me see your countenance,/ Let me hear your voice;/For your voice is sweet,/ And your countenance is lovely" (v. 14). Here Christ, considering her His simple lover (My dove), wants to see His lover's lovely countenance and hear her sweet voice in her oneness, union, with the cross (the clefts of the rock and the covert of the precipice). Here we see Christ'scall for His lover to be in oneness with the cross. This point on the cross is the central stress in this section on deliverance from the self
23我若是佳偶，我也许会说，『我的良人，我无法到达磐石穴中。穴太高，路太崎岖。我没有足彀的能力往那里去。』但这里基督向祂的佳偶指明，藉著祂复活的大能，她就能进入十字架的经历。客观的十字架必须成为我们主观的经历。我们需要进入十字架里面，十字架也必须进入我们里面。这样我们与十字架就成为一。我们与十字架的合一，乃是我们的拯救。得拯救脱离己，意思是藉著与十字架成为一，得救脱离己。我们每天都该藉著基督复活的大能，模成祂的死。（腓三10。）没有与十字架的合一，我们就无法得拯救脱离己。我宝贵一首诗歌的副歌说，『因此求主藉十字架，治死我的魂生命；使我愿出重大代价，来满受主的圣灵。』（诗歌第二二七首。）我们需要愿意付代价，进入对十字架主观的经历。
23If I had been the lover, I might have said, "My beloved, I cannot get to the clefts of the rock. The clefts are too high and the way is too rugged. I do not have enough power to go there." But here Christ was indicating to His lover that she could enter into the experience of the cross by the power of His resurrection. The objective cross must become our subjective experience. We need to get into the cross and the cross must get into us. In this way we and the cross become one. Our oneness with the cross is our salvation. To be delivered from the self means to be saved from the self through becoming one with the cross. Every day we should be conformed to Christ's death by the power of His resurrection (Phil. 3:10). Without the oneness with the cross, we cannot be delivered from the self. I appreciate the chorus of the hymn which says, "Through the Cross, O Lord, I pray,/Put my soul-life all away;/Make me any price to pay,/Full anointing to receive" (Hymns, #279). We need to be willing to pay the price to enter into the subjective experience of the cross.
二 基督吩咐祂的佳偶，要留意她的乖僻、习惯、以及往自己里面看；这些会毁坏那为著祂佳偶的复活
B. Christ Charging His Lover to Be Aware of Her Peculiarities, Habits, and Introspections Which Ruin the Resurrection for His Lover
24『要为我们擒拿狐狸，就是毁坏葡萄园的小狐狸，因为我们的葡萄正在开花。』（歌二15。）基督吩咐祂的佳偶，要留意她的乖僻、习惯、以及往自己里面看（小狐狸）；这些会毁坏那为著祂佳偶的复活（我
24Catch the foxes for us,/The little foxes,/That ruin the vineyards/While our vineyards are in blossom" S.S. 2:15). Christ charges His lover to be aware of her peculiarities, habits, and introspections (little foxes) which ruin the resurrection for His lover (our vineyards in blossom
25们的葡萄正在开花）。
25
26毁坏葡萄园的小狐狸，表征我们的乖僻、我们的习惯、以及我们的往自己里面看，而葡萄园表征召会生活。属灵是好的，但属灵常导致乖僻。几乎每个属灵的人都是乖僻的，都有某种乖僻的倾向。然而我们一旦变成乖僻的，就不再是属灵的了。反之，我们会成为召会的难处。得拯救脱离乖僻的路，就是十字架。
26The little foxes that ruin the vineyards signify our peculiarities, our habits, and our introspections, and the vineyards signify the church life. To be spiritual is good, but it often leads to peculiarity. Nearly every spiritual person is peculiar, having some kind of peculiar streak. When we become peculiar, we are no longer spiritual. Instead, we become a trouble to the church. The deliverance from peculiarity is the cross
肆 佳偶的拒绝和失败
IV. THE LOVER'S REJECTION AND FAILURE
27在二章十六节至三章一节，我们看
27In 2:16—3:1 we see the lover's rejection and failure
28见佳偶的拒绝和失败。
28
一 她知道基督属她，她也属基督，但基督并没有与她同在
A. Realizing That Christ Belongs to Her and She to Christ, yet He Not Being with Her
29『我的良人属我，我也属他；他在百合花中牧放群羊。』（16。）她照著自己的感觉，知道基督属她，她也属基督，但基督并没有与她同在，而是在𫗪养祂纯洁、信靠的跟从者（在百合花中放牧群羊）。这时她与基督不是一的了。
29"My beloved is mine, and I am his;/He pastures his flock among the lilies" (v. 16). She realizes that Christ belongs to her and she to Christ according to her feeling, yet He is not with her, but He is away feeding His pure and trusting followers (pastures among the lilies). At this point she and Christ are not one.
二 她拒绝祂，求祂等到她下沉的情形过去
B. Rejecting Him by Asking Him to Wait until Her Down Situation Is Over
30『我的良人哪，求你等到天亮，黑影飞去的时候，你要转回，好像羚羊，或像小牡鹿在比特山上。』（17。）这里她拒绝祂，求祂等到她下沉的情形过去，然后要祂在复活里转回到她那里，好像羚羊，或像小牡鹿；这是在他们分离的时候，而这样的分离惟有祂能挪去，不是她能挪去（在比特山上）。比特这辞意『分离』。佳偶似乎对祂说，『主，我没有豫备好。现在请不要来，乃要等到我的情形过去。你要像羚羊在分离山上。』这分离，这山乃是难处，惟有祂能挪去。三她往自己里面看，
30Until the day dawns and the shadows flee away,/ Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young hart/On the mountains of Bether" (v. 17). Here she rejects Him by asking Him to wait until her down situation is over and then to turn to her in His resurrection, like a gazelle or a young hart, at the time of their separation, which could be removed only by Him and not by her (on the mountains of Bether). The word Bether means "separation." The lover seemed to be saying to Him, "Lord, I am not ready. Please do not come now but wait until my situation is over. Be like a gazelle upon the mountain of separation." This separation, this mountain, is a problem, and it can be removed only by Him. C. In Her Introspection She Seeking Her Beloved
寻找她的良人，却寻不见
but Failing to Find Him
31『我夜间躺在床上，寻找我心所爱的；我寻找他，却寻不见。』（三1。）她往自己里面看，她在自己下沉的光景中，寻找她的良人，却寻不见。伍佳偶的醒悟和恢复雅歌三章二至四节说到佳偶的醒悟和恢复。一她起来，用天上耶路撒冷的
31On my bed night after night/I sought him whom my soul loves;/I sought him, but found him not" (3:1). In her introspection, in her down situation, she seeks her Beloved, but she fails to find Him. V. THE LOVER'S WAKING UP AND RECOVERY Song of Songs 3:2-4 speaks of the lover's waking up and recovery. A. She Rising Up to Seek Her Beloved in the Ways
方式和方法，寻找她的良人
and in the Methods of the Heavenly Jerusalem
32『我说，我要起来，游行城中；在街上，在广场，寻找我心所爱的。我寻找他，却寻不见。』（2。）她要起来，不再往自己里面看，用天上耶路撒冷（由地上的耶路撒冷所表征）的方式和方法，寻找她的良人。
32I will rise now and go about in the city;/In the streets and in the squares/I will seek him whom my soul loves./I sought him, but found him not" (v. 2). She will rise up from her introspection to seek her Beloved in the ways and in the methods of the heavenly Jerusalem (signified by Jerusalem on earth
二 那些用天上耶路撒冷的方式为神子民儆醒的人遇见她
B. The Ones Who Watch Over God'sP eople in the Ways of the Heavenly Jerusalem Finding Her
33『城中游行看守的人遇见我；我问他们，你们看见我心所爱的没有？』（3。）那些用天上耶路撒冷的方式为神子民儆醒的人（来十三17）遇见她，她问他们看见她心所爱的没有。
33" The watchmen who go about in the city found me — / Have you seen him whom my soul loves?" (v. 3). The ones who watch over God'sp eople spiritually (Heb. 13:17) in the ways of the heavenly Jerusalem find her, and she asks them if they have seen the One whom she loves.
三 她遇见她的良人就拉住祂
C. Finding Her Beloved and Holding Him
34『我刚离开他们，就遇见我心所爱的；我拉他，不容他走，等到领他入我母家，到怀我者的内室。』（歌三4。）她离开为神子民儆醒的人不久，就遇见她的良人；她拉住祂，不容祂走，等到领祂进入自己所藉以重生之恩典的灵（母家－内室－来十29，加四26，弗二4～5，加五4）里，而有隐密的交通。母家是她出生的地方，母亲的内室是她成孕的地方。母亲是恩典。照著加拉太四章二十五至二十六节，那在上的耶路撒冷，是我们的母，代表恩典的原则，产生自主的后嗣，而地上的耶路撒冷，产生为奴的儿女。母亲的内室表征那出于父的爱。父的爱产生恩典。以弗所二章四至五节说，神爱我们，然后藉著恩典拯救我们。我们在神的爱里成孕，并藉著神的恩典出生。
34Scarcely had I passed them/When I found him whom my soul loves;/I held him and would not let go/Until I had brought him into my mother'sho use/And into the chamber of her who conceived me" (S.S. 3:4). Not long after she leaves the ones who watch over God'sp eople, she finds her Beloved, and she holds Him and will not let go until she brings Him into the Spirit of grace, through which she was regenerated (mother'sho use—chamber—Heb. 10:29; Gal. 4:26; Eph. 2:4-5; Gal. 5:4) for secret fellowship. The mother'sho use was the place where she was born, and the mother's chamber was the place where she was conceived. The mother is grace. According to Galatians 4:25-26 the Jerusalem above, which is our mother, represents the principle of grace, which produces free heirs, and the Jerusalem on the earth produces children in bondage. The mother's chamber signifies love, which is of the Father. The Father's love issues in grace. Ephesians 2:4-5 says that God loved us and then saved us by grace. We were conceived in God's love and born by God's grace
35虽然基督的佳偶落入往自己里面看的光景，但到了一天，她醒悟并领悟她是藉著恩典得救的罪人。于是她能说，『神爱我，并且基督藉著恩典拯救我。』林后十三章十四节说到基督的恩、神的爱、圣灵的交通。那灵将神的爱，并将基督的恩带给我们。因此，那灵称为恩典的灵。（来十29。）一旦佳偶领悟她是藉著恩典得救的罪人，她就得著复苏。然后她遇见她的良人，就拉住祂，不容祂走。她领基督入她母家，就是她藉著恩典出生的地方，并到内室，就是她在爱里成孕的地方。内室怎样是家内里的部分，神的爱照样是基督的恩内里的部分。我们得救的人有神的爱，也有基督的恩。
35Although the lover of Christ fell into introspection, one day she woke up and realized that she was a sinner saved by grace. Then she could say, "God loved me and Christ saved me by grace." Second Corinthians 13:14 speaks of the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit brings God's love and carries God's grace to us. Hence, the Spirit is called the Spirit of grace (Heb. 10:29). Once the lover realized that she was a sinner saved by grace, she was revived. Then finding her Beloved, she held him and would not let go. She brought Christ to her mother'sho use, where she was born by grace, and to the chamber, where she was conceived in love. As the chamber is the inward part of the house, so God's love is the inward part of Christ's grace. As saved ones, we have both the love of God and the grace of Christ

VI. CHRIST CHARGING
那些爱管闲事的信徒，不要把她叫醒
THE MEDDLING DAUGHTERS not to awaken her
36『耶路撒冷的众女儿阿，我指著羚羊，或田野的母鹿，嘱咐你们，不要惊动，不要叫醒我的佳偶，等她自己情愿。』（歌三5。）这里基督吩咐那些爱管闲事的信徒（耶路撒冷的众女儿），不要把她从脱离自己，（就是因她往里面看而被隔离的自己），而进到与祂隐密之交通这种对基督的经历里叫醒，等她觉得乐意对祂有下
36I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,/By the gazelles or by the hinds of the fields,/Not to rouse up or awaken my love/Until she pleases" (S.S. 3:5). Here Christ charges the meddling believers (daughters of Jerusalem) not to awaken her from her experience of Christ in her being delivered from the self, secluded in her introspection, into her secret fellowship with Him until she feels pleasant concerning her next experience of Him (she pleases
