男人或女人身上的漏症得洁净

The Cleansing of the Discharges from Man’s and Woman’s Body
1读经:利未记十五章一至三十一节。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 15:1-31
2利未记十一至十五章这一段,说到四件麻烦的事:我们与人的接触、我们出生的不洁、痲疯、以及漏症。本篇信息是论到十五章一至三十一节,我们要来看男人或女人身上的漏症得洁净这件事。我们已经指出,利未记十一至二十七章的用意,乃是给我们这些神圣别的子民,过圣别生活的路。我们要过这样的生活,需要看见我们与四件事有关。首先牵涉到的,是与人接触这件普通的事。其次,我们必须承认我们出生的不洁。我们这人的源头,来源,乃是不洁的。第三,我们有痲疯的难处。我们的身上满了疯疯的光景。第四,我们有漏症的难处。不管我们是那一种人,我们都有漏症;十五章给我们看见,这些漏症全然是不洁净的。不仅如此,我们漏症的不洁很容传染人。利未记有力的指明,凡从我们这人出来的都是不洁的。为这缘故,十五章告诉我们,要避开任何从人身上发出来的漏症,以及不洁的传染。
2In Leviticus 11 through 15, a section of five chapters, four troubling things are covered: our contact with people, the uncleanness of our birth, leprosy, and our discharges. In this message on 15:1-31 we shall cover the matter of the cleansing of the discharges from man’sand woman’s body. We have pointed out that chapters eleven through twenty-seven of Leviticus intend to give us the way to live a holy life as God’sho ly people. If we would live such a life, we need to realize that we are involved with four things. First, we are involved with the common matter of the contact with people. Second, we must recognize the uncleanness of our birth. The source, the origin, of our being is unclean. Third, we have the problem of our leprosy. Our condition is one of being filled with leprosy. Fourth, we have the problem of discharges. No matter what kind of person we may be, we all have discharges, and, as chapter fifteen shows us, these discharges are altogether unclean. Furthermore, the uncleanness of our discharges is contagious. Leviticus indicates strongly that whatever comes out of our being is unclean. For this reason, chapter fifteen tells us to stay away from any discharge that issues from the human body and from the contagion of uncleanness
3因为我们生来就是不洁,且是不洁的总和,所以凡从我们出来的都是不洁的。不仅如此,凡从我们发出来的不洁还会传染人,使别人也成为不洁。这是十五章里要紧的点。利未记十六章实际上是十章的延续。在十和十六章中间的这五章里神启示的用意是要给我们看见四件基本的麻烦因素。头一项是我们与人的接触。我们不该认为这事无关紧要。相反的,我们与人的接触关系重大。接触错的人会叫我们受玷污,使我们无法作神圣别的子民,过圣别的生活。第二项麻烦的因素是我们出生的不洁。我们需要看见,我们的源头,我们的来源,乃是不洁的。我们就是不洁的本身。我们的出生、源头和构成都是不洁的。第三个因素是我们痲疯的光景。我们的里外都是痲疯。第四个因素是我们的漏症,连同漏症的不洁和传染。一切的漏症,一切从我们身上发出来的东西,都是不洁且是传染人的。
3Because we were born uncleanness and are a totality of uncleanness, whatever comes out of us is unclean. Also, the uncleanness of what issues from us is contagious and therefore causes others to be unclean. This is the crucial point in chapter fifteen. Chapter sixteen of Leviticus is actually a continuation of chapter ten. The intention of God’s revelation in the five chapters that come between chapters ten and sixteen is to show us four basic troubling factors. The first of these factors is our contact with people. We should not consider this an insignificant thing. On the contrary, our contact with people is of great importance. Contacting the wrong kinds of persons can cause us to be defiled and thus discredit us in the matter of a holy living as God’sho ly people. The second troubling factor is the uncleanness of our birth. We need to realize that our source, our origin, is uncleanness. We are uncleanness itself. Our birth, source, and constitution are all uncleanness. The third factor is our leprous condition. Inwardly and outwardly we are leprous. The fourth factor is our discharge with its uncleanness and contagion. All the discharges, all the things that issue from our body, are unclean and contagious.
4按照圣经,我们的身体是我们的具体表现。我们的身体就是我们这人,我们的构成。凡从我们的身体,从我们的构成所出来的漏症,都是不
4According to the Bible, our body is our embodiment. Our body is our being, our constitution. Whatever comes out of our body, out of our constitution, as a discharge is unclean and contagious
5洁且是传染人的。
5
6在十五章一至十三节,我们看见有漏症的人是不洁净的,他所摸过的人或物也成了不洁净的。我们思想这些经节,就看见到处都是不洁。一切东西都被人的漏出物,被我们这人所漏出来的东西弄脏了。我们越看见这点,就越宝贝十五章里指明基督是我们洁净之因素的那些经节。我们需要对这事实有深刻的印象:凡从我们发出来的都是不洁净的,应当定罪并除去。我们读了十五章一至十三节,可能会想,我们能在那里藏身,不受人漏症的不洁所玷污。到处都有从我们人类发出来的不洁。我们若看见这点,就不想留在地上,而渴慕被提。
6In 15:1-13 we see that the one who has a discharge is unclean and anything or anyone he touches becomes unclean. As we consider these verses, we realize that there is uncleanness everywhere. Everything has been dirtied by human discharges, by that which comes out of our being. The more we realize this, the more we shall treasure those verses in chapter fifteen which indicate that Christ is the factor of our cleansing. We need to be deeply impressed with the fact that whatever issues from us is unclean and should be condemned and eliminated. After reading 15:1-13, we may wonder where we can stay without being defiled by the uncleanness of human discharges. Everywhere there is the uncleanness that issues from us human beings. If we realize this, we shall not want to remain on earth but desire to be raptured
7研读过十一至十五章里这四个麻烦的因素,我就完全领悟,我们是不洁、败坏且传染人的。从我们出来乃是不洁,这不洁会传染人。这五章论到四样消极的事物,给我们看见我们众人乃是一堆败坏。整个世界,所有的人类,乃是一堆败坏。离了基督,我们无处可以容身。我们必须在基督里。只有主耶稣能洁净我们。惟有祂是洁净人的因素。
7After studying the four troubling factors in chapters eleven through fifteen, I have come to realize fully that we are unclean, corrupt, and contagious. The things that come out of us are uncleanness, and this uncleanness is contagious. These five chapters on the four negative things show us that we all are a heap of corruption. The entire world, all of humanity, is a heap of corruption. Apart from Christ, there is no place for us to be. We must be in Christ. Only the Lord Jesus can cleanse us. He alone is the cleansing factor
8本篇的题目是『男人或女人身上的漏症得洁净。』这里的『身,』就是身体,是指我们这人,我们的构成。因此,我们身上的漏症乃是从我们这人或构成所出来的漏泄。
8The title of this message is “The Cleansing of the Discharges from Man’sand Woman’s Body.” Here “body” means our being, our constitution. Thus, the discharges from our body are the discharges from our being or from our constitution
壹 男人身上的漏症
I. THE DISCHARGE FROM MAN’S BODY
9一人因漏症不洁净
9A. A Man Being Unclean Because of His Discharge
10『你们要告诉以色列人说,人若身上有漏症,他因这漏症就不洁净。』(利十五2。)这表征从人身上出来的东西,无论是否合乎生理原则,都是不洁的。任何一种漏症都是不洁的。二无论他的漏症还在流泄,
10“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When any man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean” (v. 2). This signifies that whatever issues from man’s body, whether or not it is according to the law of the physical body, is unclean. Any kind of discharge is unclean. B. Whether His Discharge Runs or Has Stopped,
或是止住了,他都是不洁的
It Is His Uncleanness
11『在漏症上,他的不洁净乃是这样:无论他身上的漏症还在流泄,或是止住了,他都是不洁净的。』(利十五3。)这表征凡从人天然生命出来的,无论是好的或是坏的,都是污秽的。三无论甚么物件或人,被人的漏症
11This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with its discharge, or has stopped from its discharge, it is his uncleanness” (v. 3). This signifies that whatever issues from man’s natural life, whether good or bad, is filthy. C. Everything and Anyone Touched by or
碰著,或碰著人的漏症,都为不洁
Touching Man’s Discharge Being Unclean
12四至十一节告诉我们,无论甚么物件或人,被人的漏症碰著,或碰著人的漏症,都为不洁。这表征凡被出于人天然生命的碰著,或碰著人
12Verses 4 through 11 tell us that everything and anyone touching man’s discharge is unclean. This signifies that anything touched by or touching the issue of man’s natural life is unclean
13天然生命的,都是不洁的。
13D. The Uncleanness Being until the Evening
四 不洁净到晚上
14不洁净到晚上,(利十五5下,6下,7下,8下,10下,11下,)表征从人天然生命出来的不洁,必须结束(死),才有新的开始(复活)。『到晚上,』表征藉著死有所结束。然后就有新的一天,新的开始,就是复活。我们若要得洁净,有洁净的地方来停留,就必须有所结束。我们必须接受基督十字架的钉死。这样,我们就来到我们旧时期的晚上,旧造的晚上。这样,藉著十字架并在十字架之后,我们会有新的一天。我们会在复活里。
14The uncleanness was until the evening (vv. 5c, 6c, 7c, 8c, 10c, 11c). This signifies that the uncleanness of the issue of man’s natural life should be ended (death) that there might be a new beginning (resurrection). The phrase “until the evening” signifies coming to an end through death. Then there will be a new day, a new beginning, which is resurrection. If we would be clean, having a clean place in which to stay, we must come to an end. We must die by taking the cross of Christ. In this way we come to the evening of our old course, the evening of the old creation. Then through the cross and after the cross, we shall be in a new day. We shall be in resurrection
五 洗衣服并在水里洗澡
E. Washing the Clothes and Bathing in Water
15利未记十五章多次说到洗衣服并在水里洗澡。(利十五5中,6中,中,8中,10中,11中。)这表征不仅对付我们外面的生活行为,和一切接触人天然生命的媒介,也藉著神话语中生命之水的洗涤,对付我们自己,洁净一切受天然生命影响的东西。
15In Leviticus 15 washing the clothes and bathing in water are spoken of a number of times (vv. 5b, 6b, 7b, 8b, 10b, 11b). This signifies not only dealing with our 7 outward living and behavior and all the media through which man’s natural life is contacted, but also dealing with ourselves by washing in the water of life in the word of God, purging away anything that is affected by our natural life.
16我们需要基督的十字架来结束我们老旧的生命,也需要基督的复活来得著新的起头。除此之外,我们还需要生命的水,就是那洗净人、洁净人的灵。我们也需要话,因为那洁净人的生命之灵乃是具体化在话里。每当我们在灵里来到话面前,我们就摸著在话里有个东西在洗净我们。我们摸著了话里这洗净的元素,就会在我们这人里面,整天不断的受这元素的洁净。所以,我们需要基督的十字架、基督的复活、以及那在神的话里作生命之水的圣灵。我们该用我们的灵来到话面前。结果,我们就把一切受天然生命影响的东西洁净了。
16We need the cross of Christ to end our old life, and we need the resurrection of Christ to have a new beginning. In addition, we need the water of life, which is the washing, cleansing, Spirit. We also need the word because the cleansing Spirit of life is embodied in the word. Whenever we come in our spirit to the word we touch something within the word that washes us. After we touch this washing element in the word, we shall continue to be cleansed in our being by it throughout the day. Therefore, we need the cross of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, and the Holy Spirit as the water of life in the word of God. Now we should come to the word with our spirit. As a result, we shall purge away anything that has been affected by our natural life.
六 在水里涮洗手
F. Rinsing the Hands in Water
17十一节上半说到在水里涮洗手。这表征用神的话,并神话里的生命和灵,洁净我们的污秽。我们要再次强调,我们需要基督的十字架、基督的复活、那灵、神圣的生命、和神圣的话。这些事物乃是我们所该在的地方。我们该在基督的死里、在祂的复活里。我们也该在那灵里、在神圣的生命里、并在神圣的话里。我们感谢主给我们这么一个地方!就天然一面说,地上没有洁净的地方;但就属灵一面说,我们有一个地方可以居留,这地方就是基督的死、基督的复活、生命的灵、神圣的生命、以及神圣的话。七患漏症的人所碰著的瓦器要打碎,木器要在水里涮洗
17Verse 11a refers to rinsing the hands in water. This signifies purging away our filthiness with the word of God and with the life and Spirit in the word of God. Again we would emphasize our need of the cross of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, the Spirit, the divine life, and the holy Word. These things are the place where we should be. We should be in the death of Christ and in His resurrection. We should also be in the Spirit, in the divine life, and in the holy Word. We thank the Lord that there is a place for us! Naturally speaking, there is no clean place on earth. But, spiritually speaking, there is a wonderful place for us to stay. This place is the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, the Spirit of life, the divine life, and the holy Word. G. The Earthenware Vessel Touched by the Discharging One Being Broken and Every Wooden
Vessel Being Rinsed in Water
18『患漏症的人所碰著的瓦器要打碎;每一木器都要在水里涮洗。』(利十五12。)这表征受造堕落的人(瓦器),必须破碎;而神所创造的人性(木器),仍然保留,但必须用神的话,并神话里的生命和灵洗净。
18The earthenware vessel which he who has the discharge touches shall be broken; and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed in water” (v. 12). This signifies that the created and fallen man (earthenware vessel) should be broken, whereas the God-created humanity (wooden vessel) should be kept but needs to be rinsed with the word of God and with the life and Spirit in the word of God
19堕落以后,我们人类变得相当复杂。一面,我们是神所造的人;另一面,我们成了堕落、败坏的人。作为堕落、败坏的人,我们需要破碎。这是由打碎瓦器所表征的。不过,作为神所造的人,我们不需要破碎,乃需要用那灵、神圣的生命、和神圣的话洗净。这是在水里涮洗木器所表征的。一天过一天,我们该活在那灵、神圣的生命、和神圣之话的洗净下。
19After the fall, we human beings became quite complicated. On the one hand, we are God’s created people; on the other hand, we have become a fallen, corrupted people. As fallen, corrupted people, we need to be broken. This is signified by the breaking of the earthenware vessel. As God’s created people, however, we do not need to be broken, yet we do need to be rinsed with the Spirit, the divine life, and the holy Word. This is signified by the rinsing of the wooden vessel in water. Day by day we should live under the rinsing of the Spirit, the divine life, and the holy Word.
八 人的漏症得洁净
H. The Cleansing of Man’s Discharge
201要为洁净计算七天,然后要洗衣
201. Counting Seven Days for Cleansing, Then Washing
服,在淡水里洗身
the Clothes and Bathing the Body in Fresh Water
21『患漏症的人得了洁净,没有漏症的时候,就要为他的洁净计算七天,然后要洗他的衣服,在淡水里洗身,他就洁净了。』(利十五13。)这表征我们需要一再对付天然的生命,直到这天然的生命完全了结。我们要藉著神的话,在祂的灵里得洁净。2第八天要取两只斑鸠或两只雏鸽,来到耶和华面前,把牠们交给祭司;祭司要献一只作赎罪祭,
21When he who has the discharge is cleansed from his discharge, he shall count seven days for his cleansing; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe his body in fresh water, and he shall be clean” (v. 13). This signifies that the dealing with our natural life should be to the extent that our natural life is fully terminated, and that we should be cleansed with the word of God in His Spirit. 2. On the Eighth Day Taking Two Turtledoves or Two Young Pigeons and Coming before Jehovah, and Giving Them to the Priest That He May Offer Them, One for a
一只作燔祭
Sin Offering and the Other for a Burnt Offering
22『第八天他要取两只斑鸠或两只雏鸽,来到会幕门口,耶和华面前,把牠们交给祭司。祭司要把牠们献上,一只作赎罪祭,一只作燔祭。这样,祭司要因那人的漏症,在耶和华面前为他遮罪。』(利十五~15。)这表征凭天然生命活著的人,不仅需要基督的救赎,对付他的罪性,也需要基督的生命,使他为神而活。在这里,基督由两只斑鸠或两只雏鸽所豫表。其中一只是赎罪祭,另一只是燔祭。基督作赎罪祭的功用,是要对付我们的罪性。基督作燔祭的功用,是要作我们的生命,使我们过绝对为著神的生活。在这两方面我们都需要基督。只有基督能应付我们的需要。我们有基督作我们的赎罪祭和燔祭,我们漏症的难处就得以解决。
22“Then on the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before Jehovah, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest; and the priest shall offer them, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. Thus the priest shall make propitiation for him before Jehovah because of his discharge” (vv. 14-15). This signifies 14 that man living by his natural life needs not only the redemption of Christ to deal with his sinful nature, but also the life of Christ that he may live for God. Here Christ is typified by the two turtledoves or two young pigeons. One of these birds is a sin offering, and the other, a burnt offering. The function of Christ as the sin offering is to deal with our sinful nature. The function of Christ as the burnt offering is to be our life that we may live a life that is absolute for God. We need Christ in these two ways, in these two aspects. Only Christ can meet our need. When we have Christ as our sin offering and as our burnt offering, the problem of our discharges is solved.
23贰男女一切别的漏症要以
23II. ALL OTHER DISCHARGES OF MAN AND WOMAN TO BE DEALT WITH IN THE SAME WAY
相同的方式对付
24在十五章二至十五节,我们看见一些漏症如何受到对付。十六至三十节给我们看见,男女一切别的漏症要以相同的方式来对付。
24In 15:2-15 we see how certain discharges are to be dealt with. Verses 16 through 30 show us that all other discharges of man and woman are to be dealt with in the same way
25参把以色列人从他们的不洁净里分别出来,使他们不至于
25III. SEPARATING THE SONS OF ISRAEL FROM THEIR UNCLEANNESS THAT THEY MAY NOT
玷污神的帐幕而死
DIE BY DEFILING GOD’S TABERNACLE
26『你们要这样把以色列人从他们的不洁净里分别出来,使他们不至于玷污我在他们中间的帐幕,就因自己的不洁净而死。』(利十五31。)这表征人一旦因著他天然生命发出来的东西受到玷污,却不对付隔绝他的不洁,反而接触召会,就要遭到死亡(重在属灵的死)。
26Thus you shall separate the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, that they may not die in their uncleanness by defiling My tabernacle which is in their midst” (v. 31). This signifies that once a man, having been defiled by any issue of his natural life and having not yet been separated from his uncleanness, touches the church, he will suffer death (mainly spiritual death
27三十一节指明人的漏症与神的居所有关。我们若仍有漏症,就会玷污神的居所。在豫表上,这意思乃是,我们若仍有来自天然生命所发出的污秽,就会玷污召会生活。为著召会生活,我们需要藉著基督的十字架、基督的复活、那灵连同神圣的生命、并藉著用灵接触神圣的话,在我们天然的生命里受到完全的对付。这样,我们就蒙保守脱离人天然漏症的污秽。虽然人的漏症不如痲疯厉害,但漏症所产生的影响,比痲疯严重得多。我们从经历知道,我们即使看来很完美、完整,没有犯错,我们在家庭生活或召会生活中仍然有漏泄,就是从天然生命发出了东西。我们需要领悟,任何从天然的人所发出来的都是不洁,这不洁还会传染人,使每个人、每件事、以及每个地方都受到玷污。为这缘故,漏症所产生的影响,比痲疯更为严重。
27Verse 31 indicates that human discharges are related to God’s dwelling place. If we still have discharges, we shall defile God’s dwelling place. In typology this means that if we still have the defilement that comes from the issue of the natural life, we shall defile the church life. For the church life, we need to be fully dealt with in our natural life by the cross of Christ, by the resurrection of Christ, by the Spirit with the divine life, and by contacting the holy Word with our spirit. Then we shall be kept from the filthiness of the human, natural discharges. Although man’s discharge is not as serious as leprosy, its effects are more serious than those of leprosy. From experience we know that even if we seem to be perfect and complete, doing nothing wrong, we still have discharges, the issue of the natural life, in our family life or church life. We need to realize that anything that issues from our natural being is uncleanness, and this uncleanness is contagious, causing everyone, everything, and every place to be defiled. For this reason, the effects of our discharges are even more serious than those of leprosy
28远离痲疯可能相当容易,但远离人漏症所产生的影响却不容易。我们无须在外面有何作为,也会受到玷污;只要我们是活著的,就会有不洁的漏泄。我们因著从这人所发出来的,就成为不洁的。我们的漏症该使我们贬低对自己的评价。所有的人都对自己评价很高。我们可能认为只有自己是对的,别人都是错的;我们以为自己很好,并要保全自己的声誉。但在我们身上有一些不配得荣誉的东西,就是我们天然的漏泄。表面上我们没有难处,但我们仍然受到天然生命不洁的漏泄所玷污。
28It may be rather easy to stay away from leprosy, but it is not easy to stay away from the effects of human discharges. There is no need for us to do anything outwardly in order to be defiled. As long as we are alive, we shall have unclean discharges. We shall be made unclean by that which issues from our being. This matter of our discharges should cause us to be discredited in our own eyes. However, everyone gives himself high credit. We may regard only ourselves as right and everyone else as wrong. We may think that we are excellent and hold on to our prestige. Nevertheless, there is something about us that is not worthy of credit, and this thing is our natural discharge. Seemingly we have no problems, but we are still defiled by the unclean discharges of our natural life.
29因著我们的漏症,我们需要基督。我们需要祂的死、祂的复活、祂的灵、祂的生命和祂的话。我们需要整天留在基督的死、复活、灵、生命和话里。在我们基督徒的生活中,我们需要学习不离开这五样事物。我们若留在基督的死、复活、灵、生命和话里,我们就会有正确的基督徒生活和召会生活。然后一天过一天,我们就会在基督的死、复活、灵、生命和话里,过复兴且得胜的生活。
29Because of our discharge, we need Christ. We need His death, His resurrection, His Spirit, His life, and His word. All day long we need to stay in the death, resurrection, Spirit, life, and word of Christ. In our Christian life we need to learn not to move out of these five things. If we stay in Christ’s death, resurrection, Spirit, life, and word, we shall have a proper Christian life and church life. Then day by day we shall live a revived life and an overcoming life in the death, resurrection, Spirit, life, and word of Christ
