摩西的歌

The Song of Moses
1读经：申命记31:14-23,30;32:1-47。在本篇信息中，我们要来看摩西的歌。
1Scripture Reading: Deut. 31:14-23, 30; 32:1-47 In this message we will cover the song of Moses
壹 耶和华吩咐摩西
I. JEHOVAH COMMANDING MOSES
写一首歌
TO WRITE A SONG
2在三十一章十四至二十三节，三十节，耶和华吩咐摩西写一首歌。
2In 31:14-23, 30 Jehovah commanded Moses to write a song
一 耶和华对摩西说，他的死期临近了
A. Jehovah Telling Moses That His Days Drew Near for Him to Die
3在十四节，耶和华对摩西说，他的死期临近了，他要召约书亚与他站在会幕内，耶和华好嘱咐约书亚。
3In verse 14 Jehovah told Moses that his days drew near for him to die and that he should call Joshua to be with him in the tent of meeting that Jehovah might charge him
二 耶和华在云柱中显现，对摩西说，这百姓要起来，
B. Jehovah Appearing in a Pillar of Cloud and Telling Moses That This People Would Rise Up
4
4and Go as Harlots after the Strange Gods of the Land
在他们所要去的地上，随从外邦神行邪淫，离弃耶和华，违背祂与他们所立的约
Which They Were Entering and Would Forsake Him and Break His Covenant
5耶和华在会幕里云柱中显现，云柱停在会幕的入门以上。耶和华对摩西说，他快要和他列祖同睡；这百姓要起来，在他们所要去的地上，随从外邦神行邪淫，离弃耶和华，违背祂与他们所立的约。（申三一15～16。）祂的怒气必向他们发作，祂也必掩面不顾他们。（申三一17上。）他们将被吞灭，并有许多的灾祸患难临到他们，这是因为他们偏向别神所行的一切恶。（申三一17下～18。）
5Jehovah appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud, which stood over the entrance of the tent, and told Moses that he was about to lie down with his fathers, that this people would rise up and go as harlots after the strange gods of the land which they were entering, and that they would forsake Him and break His covenant (vv. 15-16). His anger would burn against them, and He would hide His face from them (v. 17a). They would be devoured, and many evils and troubles would befall them because of all the evil they had done, for they turned to other gods (vv. 17b-18
三 耶和华嘱咐摩西写这首歌，教导以色列人，放在他们口里，使这歌为祂作见证，指责以色列人
C. Jehovah Charging Moses to Write This Song and Teach It to the Children of Israel and Put It in Their Mouth, That He Might Have This Song as a Witness against the Children of Israel
6耶和华嘱咐摩西写首这歌，教导以色列人，放在他们口里，使这歌为祂作见证，指责以色列人。（申三一19。）祂将他们领进流奶与蜜之地，他们在那里吃得饱足，长得肥胖，就偏向别神，事奉别神，藐视耶和华，背弃祂的约。（申三一。）当许多灾祸患难临到他们时，这歌必在他们面前作见证，因为他们后裔的口中必不至忘记这歌。祂未领他们进到那地以先，祂已知道他们所怀的意念。（申三一21。）所以摩西写了这首歌，教导以色列人。（申三一22。）
6Jehovah charged Moses to write this song and teach it to the children of Israel and put it in their mouth, that He might have this song as a witness against the children of Israel (v. 19). Jehovah would bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, and they would eat and become satisfied and grow fat, and they would turn to other gods and serve them and despise Jehovah and break His covenant (v. 2 0). When 20 many evils and troubles befell them, this song would respond as a witness before them because it would not be forgotten in the mouth of their seed; for He knew their intention before He brought them into the land (v. 21). So Moses wrote this song and taught it to the children of Israel (v. 22).
四 耶和华嘱咐约书亚
D. Jehovah’s Charge to Joshua
7在二十三节，耶和华嘱咐约书亚说，『你当刚强壮胆，因为你必领以色列人进我所向他们起誓之地，我必与你同在。』
7In verse 23 Jehovah charged Joshua and said, “Be strong and take courage, for you will bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn to them; and I will be with you
五 摩西将这首歌的话，说给以色列全会众听
E. Moses Speaking to All the Congregation of Israel the Words of This Song
8摩西将这首歌的话，都说给以色列全会众听。（申三一30。）
8Moses spoke to all the congregation of Israel the words of this song until they were completed (v. 30
贰 歌的内容
II. THE CONTENTS OF THE SONG
9三十二章一至四十三节乃是摩西之歌的内容。这内容很深，其中有些事很难明白。
9In 32:1-43 we have the contents of the song of Moses. These contents are deep, and certain matters are difficult to understand
一 摩西要天与地听他的言语
A. Moses Asking Heaven and Earth to Hear His Words
10在三十二章一节，摩西要天与地听他的言语。
10In 32:1 Moses asked heaven and earth to hear his words
二 摩西的言语如细雨降临，如甘霖滴下
B. Moses’ Words Dropping like the Rain and Distilling like the Dew
11摩西的言语如细雨降在嫩草上，如甘霖降在菜蔬中。（申三二2）这指明摩西看见他所说的，无论是祝福或是咒诅，都像雨和露一样。我们若仅仅用心思来读摩西的歌，就不会感觉到雨和露。但我们若用心思，同时也用灵来读，就会觉得摩西的话如同落下的细雨，又如滴下的甘露。
11Moses’ words dropped like the rain upon young grass and like the dew upon herbage (v. 2). This indicates that Moses realized that whatever he spoke, either a blessing or a curse, was like rain and dew. If as we read the song of Moses we merely exercise our mind, we will not sense the rain and the dew. But if we exercise our spirit as well as our mind, we will sense that Moses’ words are like dropping rain and distilling dew
三 摩西宣告耶和华是怎样的一位神
C. Moses Declaring What Kind of God Jehovah Is
12在三至四节，摩西宣告耶和华是怎样的一位神。耶和华是至大的神。祂是磐石，祂的作为完全，祂的道路公正。祂是忠信无伪的神；祂是公义的，正直的。
12In verses 3 and 4 Moses declared what kind of God Jehovah is. Jehovah is a God of greatness. He is the Rock, whose work is perfect and whose ways are justice. He is a God of faithfulness and without injustice; He is righteous and upright.
13摩西在这里的话，实际上是为神表白。在旷野的四十年间，以色列人经常埋怨神，说祂把他们从埃及带到旷野是错误的。因此，摩西替他所事奉的这位神表白，宣告祂是磐石，祂的道路不仅是公正的，并且就是公正。祂是公义的，正直的；凡祂所行的，都是对的。
13Moses’ word here was actually his vindication of God. Quite often during the forty years in the wilderness, the children of Israel complained against God, saying that He was wrong in bringing them out of Egypt and into the wilderness. Thus, Moses vindicated the very God whom he served, declaring that He is the Rock and that His ways are not only just but justice itself. He is righteous and upright, and He is right in whatever He does
四 以色列人向耶和华神行事败坏
D. The Children of Israel Dealing with Jehovah God Corruptly
14在五、六节，我们看到以色列人向耶和华神行事败坏，有瑕疵，不像祂的儿子，却是乖僻弯曲的世代，像愚昧无知的民那样报答耶和华。所有的以色列人都该是神的儿子，但他们的生活行事却不像神的儿子。反之，他们乃是乖僻弯曲的。神为他们作了许多，他们却像愚昧无知的民那样报答耶和华。
14In verses 5 and 6 we see that the children of Israel dealt with Jehovah God corruptly, having blemishes not like His sons, being a twisted and crooked generation, and repaying Jehovah as foolish and unwise people. All the children of Israel were supposed to be God’ss ons, but in their living they did not behave like God’ss ons. Instead, they were twisted and crooked. Although God had done so much for them, they repaid Him as foolish and unwise people
五 摩西追想耶和华向以色列的恩惠和慈爱
E. Moses Tracing Back Jehovah’s Favor and Love to Israel
15摩西追想耶和华向以色列的恩惠和慈爱。（申三二7～14。）耶和华看以色列是祂的分，祂的产业。祂环绕他们，看顾他们，保护他们，如同保护自己眼中的瞳人，又如鹰将他们背在两翼之上；祂使他们乘驾地的高处，得享田间的土产，牲口的出产。在这里，我们看见神对以色列人不仅公义，更是十分善待。
15Moses traced back Jehovah’s favor and love to Israel (vv. 7-14). Jehovah considered Israel as His portion, His inheritance. He encircled them, cared for them, and guarded them like the pupil of His eye. As an eagle He bore them up upon His pinions, and He made them ride on the high places of the earth and enjoy the fruit of the field and the produce of the cattle. Here we see that God was not only righteous with the children of Israel but was also very good to them
六 以色列人又肥又壮，就离弃造他们的神，轻忽生他们的磐石
F. Israel, Growing Fat and Thick, Forsaking God, Who Made Them, and Neglecting the Rock Who Begot Them
16以色列人又肥又壮，就离弃造他们的神，轻忽生他们的磐石，以别神，以可憎恶的事，惹祂发怒，祭祀鬼魔。（申三二15～18。）
16Israel, growing fat and thick, forsook God, who made them, neglected the Rock who begot them, and angered Him with strange gods, with abominations, sacrificing to demons (vv. 15-18
七 以色列人惹耶和甘华发怒
G. Jehovah Being Provoked to Anger by Israel
17以色列人，耶和华的儿女，惹祂发怒，因此祂说，祂要向他们掩面。（申三二19～20。）在祂怒中向他们有火烧起；（申三二22；）祂要打发野兽用牙齿咬他们，并土中爬行的用毒气害他们。（申三二24下。）外有刀剑，内有惊恐，使人丧亡。（申三二25上。）祂必将他们分散，使人间不再记念他们，免得他们的仇敌错看，说，这是因他们的手有能力，这一切并非耶和华所行的。（申三二26～27。）以色列民毫无智谋，心中没有聪明。（申三二28。）他们若有智慧，必能明白，乃是耶和华他们的磐石卖了他们，将他们交给他们的仇敌。（申三二29～31。）
17Jehovah was provoked to anger by Israel, His sons and daughters, and said that He would hide His face from them (vv. 19-20). A fire was kindled in His anger toward them (v. 22), and He would send the teeth of beasts against them with the venom of those that crawl in the dust (v. 24b). The sword would bereave outside, and inside, terror (v. 25a). He would scatter them and cause the memory of them to cease among men, lest their adversaries misjudge, saying that it was their hand and not Jehovah who had wrought all this (vv. 26-27). For the children of Israel were destitute of counsel, with no understanding in them (v. 28). If they had been wise, they would have comprehended that it was Jehovah their Rock who sold them and delivered them up to their enemies (vv. 29-31).
八 耶和华为祂的民辩白，怜恤祂的仆人
H. Jehovah Vindicating His People and Having Compassion on His Servants
18在三十六至四十三节，我们看到耶和华见祂百姓手中无力，就必为他们辩白，怜恤祂的仆人。祂必说，『他们的神…在那里？让他们起来帮助你们，护卫你们罢。你们如今要知道，惟有我是神，在我并无别神。我使人死，我使人活，我损伤，我也医治，并无人能从我手中救出来。』（申三二37～39。）祂必伸祂仆人流血的冤，报应祂的敌人，遮盖祂的地，并祂百姓的罪。摩西的歌中有许多事都是严厉的，但这首歌的结尾却非常积极。无论以色列人是怎样邪恶，无论神在祂的怒气中向著以色列人是何等发怒，结果却都是好的。神没有弃绝祂的子民，反而至终仍为他们辩白。这对以色列人是真实的，对在基督里的信徒也是真实的。
18In verses 36 through 43 we see that Jehovah would vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He saw that their support (strength) was gone. He would say, “Where are their gods…? / Let them rise up and help you; /Let them be a shelter over you. /See now that I, I am He, /And there is no god with Me. /I kill and I make alive; /I wound and I heal; /And there is no one who can deliver from My hand” (vv. 37-39). He would avenge the blood of His servants, repay His adversaries with vengeance, and cover the guilt of His land and of His people. Many things in the song of Moses are severe, but the ending is very positive. No matter how evil the children of Israel might be and no matter how much God might be provoked in His anger toward them, the result, the issue, will be good. Instead of forsaking His people, God will eventually come in to vindicate them. This is true concerning Israel and also concerning the believers in Christ
参 摩西和约书亚
III. THE WORD OF MOSES AND JOSHUA
告诉百姓的话
TO THE PEOPLE
19申命记三十二章四十四至四十七节，乃是摩西和约书亚告诉百姓的话。摩西和约书亚将这歌中一切的话，都说给百姓听。（申三二44～45。）摩西对他们说，他们要将这些话放在心上，并要吩咐他们的子孙确实遵行律法的一切话。（申三二46。）他告诉他们说，这对他们不是虚空的事，因为这是他们的生命，在他们过约但河要得的地上，他们必因这事日子得以长久。（申三二47。）摩西在申命记里所说的一切话，表达了他对以色列人的关切。律法的重申、警告、立约、最终的劝戒和嘱咐、以及摩西的歌，全都是摩西出于对神子民的关切而说出的。他最大的忧虑是以色列人会离弃他们的神，去随从别神。这正是以色列人历代所行的。就是在今天，他们中间许多人还是离弃神，以金钱、高科技、武器、和战争的技巧为偶像。所以，一面神为以色列人作工，保护他们；另一面因著以色列人不悔改转向神，祂还在审判他们。
19Deuteronomy 32:44-47 is the word of Moses and Joshua to the people. Moses and Joshua spoke to the people all the words of this song (vv. 44-45). Moses said to them that they should set their heart on all these words and command their children to do all the words of this law (v. 46). He told them that it was not a matter too vain for them, because it was their life and by it they would extend their days upon the land into which they were crossing over the Jordan to possess it (v. 47). Everything which Moses spoke in the book of Deuteronomy was an expression of his concern for the children of Israel. The rehearsal of the law, the warning, the enactment of the covenant, the final exhortations and charges, and the song of Moses—all were spoken by Moses out of his concern for God’sp eople. His greatest concern was that they would turn away from their God and go after other gods. And this is what the children of Israel have done throughout the centuries. Even today, many of them have turned away from God to the idols of money, high technology, weapons, and skill in fighting. Therefore, on the one hand, God is working for the children of Israel to protect them. On the other hand, because they have not yet repented and returned to God, He is also judging them.
