穆斯林相信,《约翰福音》中关于保惠师的记载,即这个世界即将到来的君王,是耶稣的预言,预言的是我们的先知穆罕默德ﷺ,这一点有几个明确的理由:
Muslims believe that what came in the Book of John about the Comforter, the coming leader of this world, is a prophecy from Jesus (PBUH) about our prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and that is clear for several reasons:
其中一个原因是,“保惠师”(The Comforter)这一说法是现代用语,在新译本的新约圣经中已被替换,而古老的译本(1899年版杜埃-兰斯圣经)
One of these reasons is that, the phrase "The Comforter” is a modern phrase that was replaced in the new translations of the New Testament, while the ancient translation (Douay-Rheims Bible1899)
使用希腊语词"Parakletos"原文照录,这是许多国际译本所采用的做法。
used the Greek word (Parakletos) as it is which is practiced by many international translations.
为了解释希腊语词“Parakletos”,我们要说,这个源自希腊语的词只可能是两个词之一。第一个词是“Paraklee tos”,意思是“安慰者、帮助者或代理人”,基督徒就是这样说的。
To interpret the Greek word "Parakletos" we say, This Greek originated word can only be one of two words.The first word is "Paraklee tos", which means “the Comforter, the helper or the agent” as the Christians say.
"Peroklotos"这个词,与"Muhammad"和"Ahmad"的含义相近。
The second word is "Peroklotos", which is close in meaning to “Muhammad and Ahmad”.
在他对《约翰福音》的注释中,神父阿塔纳修斯说:
In his interpretation of the Book of John, priest Athanasius says:
“parakleet”这个词的发音如果稍作改动,就会变成“Perklet”,其意为“感恩”或“赞美”,与“Ahmad”一词相近。1
"If the pronunciation of the word “parakleet” is slightly changed, it becomes " Perklet", which means “thankfulness” or “ Praising” which is close to the word Ahmad".1
Dr. Carlo Nelno,一位研究犹太古希腊文学的博士,曾被Abdul Wahab Al Najar问及单词“PERKLOTOS”的含义,他回答说:“不断受到赞美的那位。”
Dr. Carlo Nelno, a PhD holder in Jews ancient Greek literature, once questioned by Abdul Wahab Al Najar about the meaning of the word " PERKLOTOS" and he said: "the one who praised continuously”.
这一翻译错误的证据在于,希腊文单词 PERKLOTES 是一个名字,而不是形容词,因为希腊人习惯在名字末尾加上 "s",而形容词则不这样做。
What confirms this translation error is that the Greek word (PERKLOTES) is a name and not an adjective, as the Greeks used to add an "s" at the end of names, but they do not, to adjectives.
ABDUL AHAD DAWOOD 认为教会将“PARAKLETOS”一词译为“被请来提供帮助的人、代求者、律师或中间人”是不正确的。他说,希腊文单词“PARAKLETOS”并不等同于上述任何一个词。
ABDUL AHAD DAWOOD sees the church's translations of the word “PARAKLETOS" as "a person to be called for assistance, an interceder, an attorney or an intermediate" is incorrect. He said that, the Greek word “PARAKLETOS” is not equal to any of these words.
他补充说,希腊语中的吊唁者是(PARAKALON 或 PAREGORETS),律师是(SANGRES),至于中介或调解人,他们使用的词是"MEDETIA"。基于此,教会对这个词正确含义——即"赞美"——的无知,是一种捏造。
He added that, the condolences giver in Greek is (PARAKALON OR PAREGORETS), the attorney is (SANGRES), and as for the intermediate or the interceder, they use the word "MEDETIA". Based on that, the church ignorance of the word’s correct meaning, which is “praising”, is a fabrication.
博士·斯梅森在《圣灵还是天上的力量》中说:"‘吊唁者’这一名称并不是非常准确的翻译。"
Dr. Smeson in "The Holy Spirit or a power in heavens", says, "the condolences giver name is not a very accurate translation".
《神学宗教辞典》证实了这一点,其作者写道:"‘吊唁者’一词的含义,很可能是从错误的语源中推导出来的,在《新约》中并未列出。"
The Clerical Dictionary of Theology confirms it, when the authors wrote, “the meaning of "the condolences giver" which was probably extracted from the wrong linguistic origin is not listed in the New Testament". 1
从上文可知,穆斯林与基督徒对希腊语词"Parakletos"的来源存在分歧。穆斯林认为其来源是"Perklotos",基督徒为了掩盖该词对先知穆罕默德ﷺ之名艾哈迈德(意为"受到不断赞颂的人")的指向,而进行了篡改。这种篡改对于那些其书充满灾难、冲突、捏造和矛盾的人来说是轻而易举的事。
圣经在从一种语言翻译到另一种语言以及在不同版本之间,人名的改变是常见的。例如新教译本中的"Barabas",在天主教译本中为"Baraba";又如"messia"与"mashih","shilon"与"Shiloh",以及其他许多例子。词"Perklotos"据称是从亚述语翻译过来的,而亚述语是耶稣ﷺ的原始语言,因此这种改变在翻译过程中是可能发生的。
From the aforementioned, we find that there is a disagreement between the Muslims and the Christians about the Greek origin of the word "Parakletos". Muslims believe that its origin is "Perklotos" and there was a fabrication done by the Christians to hide the word's indication to the prophet's name (PBUH) Ahmad (the one who is praised continuously). Such fabrication is an easy task for those whose book is a calamity, full of conflicts, fabrications and contradictions Changing names is common in the Bible when translating from language to language and in editions. The name "Barabas" in the Protestant translation, is "Baraba", in the Catholic translation, and (messia, mashih) and (shilon, Shiloh) and many more. The word "Perklotos" is translated from Assyrian, the original language of Jesus (PBUH), it is possible that such change can happen during the translation.
为澄清这段文字中的捏造之处:埃德温·琼斯(Edwin Jones)在其著作《基督教的起源》中承认,“Parakletos”一词指的是穆罕默德ﷺ。然而,他以一个谎言和一个荒谬的说法掩盖了自己的承认,这是有见识的人和学者绝不会相信的。他说:“基督徒在约翰福音中加入了这个名字,是出于对伊斯兰出现的无知,并且他们受到了穆斯林宗教文化的影响。”
To clarify the fabrication in this paragraph, Edwin Jones in his book "The Origin of the Christian Religion" confessed that the word "Parakletos" means Muhammad. Nevertheless, he suppressed his confession with a lie and a calamity that knowledgeable people and scholars will never buy. He said, “The Christians inserted this name in the Book of John out of ignorance of the appearance of Islam and they were affected by the Muslims’ religious culture”.
在他关于先知穆罕默德(PBUH)生平的著作中,奥地利的东方学狂热者路易斯·施普林格(卒于公元1893年)以另一种方式解决了这个问题。这种方式会令读者惊讶、赞叹,并使其感到疑惑。他宣称,先知的真实名字是QATHM,先知(PBUH)在与基督徒交往之后,才在麦地那被命名为穆罕默德,而他选择这个名字,是通过阅读《圣经》中关于PARAKLETOS(亚述语中为MANHAMNA)的预言而得来的。
In his book about the life of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Austrian fanatic Oriental Luis Springer (D.1893 C.E), solved the problem in a different way. A way will astonish and amaze the reader and make him wonder. He claimed that the real name of the prophet is QATHM, and that the prophet (PBUH) was named Muhammad in MADINA after he mixed with the Christians, and that he picked this name through his readings of the bible's prophecies about the PARAKLETOS (MANHAMNA in Assyrian).
许多东方学家都支持他,其中包括法国犹太裔东方学家哈尔特维希·德伦堡(1908年),德国狂热的东方学家特奥多尔·诺尔德克(1930年),他是《古兰经史》一书的作者,还有意大利东方学家莱昂·卡埃塔尼亲王,他在其著名的著作《伊斯兰编年史》中提出了这一观点。1
Many orientalists supported him, the French Jewish orientalist Hartwig Derenbourg (1908), and the German fanatic orientalist Theodore Noldekh (1930) the author of the book "The History of the Quran", and the Italian orientalist Prince Lyon Caytani in his famous book “nnalli dell' Islam”. 1
