9:24 [hgb] 挪亞醒了酒、知道小兒子向他所作的事、
[lzz] 挪亞醒了酒,知道他小兒子向他所作的事,
[kjv] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
[bbe] And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said,
9:25 [hgb] 就說、迦南當受咒詛、必給他弟兄作奴僕的奴僕。
[lzz] 就說∶「迦南該受咒詛;他必給他的弟兄做奴僕的奴僕。」
[kjv] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
[bbe] Cursed be Canaan; let him be a servant of servants to his brothers.
9:26 [hgb] 又說、耶和華閃的 神、是應當稱頌的、願迦南作閃的奴僕。
[lzz] 又說∶「願永恆主給閃的帳棚祝福(或譯∶永恆主閃的上帝是當受祝頌的);願迦南做閃的奴僕。
[kjv] And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
[bbe] And he said, Praise to the Lord, the God of Shem; let Canaan be his servant.
9:27 [hgb] 願 神使雅弗擴張、使他住在閃的帳棚里.又願迦南作他的奴僕。
[lzz] 願上帝使雅弗擴展;使雅弗在閃的帳棚里居住;願迦南做他的奴僕。」
[kjv] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
[bbe] May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.
聖經靈修版:
人與人之間的歧視與偏見,甚至誤用聖經,是否也存在於我的心間?
9:24-27 這段經文在教會史中曾被誤用,作為支持種族歧視和奴隸制度的聖經根據。挪亞的咒詛只是針對迦南族,而不是所有含的後裔。神知道迦南族會變得敗壞,到約書亞時代,以色列人進入應許地,迦南人被趕出,挪亞的咒詛應驗了。
丹尼斯-莫克:
咒詛含的兒子迦南(9:24-25)
12. 當挪亞醒了酒,知道含所作的事,就咒詛含的兒子迦南。既
然含羞辱了父親挪亞,一個恰當的咒詛就是讓含也因着兒子
受到相應的羞辱。
迦南的後裔就是不敬虔、不道德的迦南人。他們住在巴
勒斯坦地時,閃的後裔脫離在埃及為奴的束縛,在約書亞的
帶領下回到迦南地(見申7:1-5),從此迦南人就屈從於
猶太人。
祝福閃和雅弗(9:26-27)
13. 耶和華將是閃(猶太人──閃族人)的神(伊羅欣),神將
祝福閃的後裔,也使雅弗繁榮和擴張領土,從中發展形成了
西方文明。雅弗族和閃族將成為盟友。第10章的列邦譜系表
將細述挪亞三個兒子之後裔的情況。
