摩西(PBUH)预言了一位像他一样的先知和使者的到来 Note: "(PBUH)" is an abbreviated honorific that should be written out as words, and it is not a Prophet Muhammad reference, so I have rendered it as "摩西(PBUH)" with the abbreviation kept, per the instruction to keep abbreviated honorifics as written.
MOSES (PBUH) PROPHESIES ABOUT THE COMING OF A PROPHET AND A MESSENGER LIKE HIM
穆萨(PBUH)在上帝与他说话之后,从西奈山下来,对以色列的子孙说:“耶和华对我说:‘他们所说的都是对的。我要从他们的兄弟中间,给他们兴起一位像你一样的先知,我要把我的话放在他口中,他要把我所吩咐的,都告诉他们。”
Moses (PBUH) descended from Al-Tor Mountain after God had spoken to him, and he said addressing the children of Israel: "And the LORD said to me “They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
"凡不听从我所吩咐他奉我名所说之话的人,我必亲自向他追讨。但先知若擅敢奉我名说我没有吩咐他说的话,或奉别神的名说话,那先知必被治死。你若心里想:我们怎能知道耶和华没有说过这话呢?先知奉耶和华的名说话,若那话没有成就,也没有应验,那便是耶和华没有说过的话,是先知擅自说的,你不必惧怕他。」(申命记 18:17-22)
And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, How many we know the word that the LORD has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come true, that is a word the LORD has not spoken, the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. you need not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy: 18/17-22).
文本清楚地谈到一位伟大的先知将在穆萨(愿他平安)之后到来,并提到了这位先知的特征,由此我们可以推断他是谁。
The text as it clearly shows, talks about a great prophet that will come after Moses (PBUH), and it mentions the characteristics of this prophet, from which we can deduce who he is.
基督徒声称,这位先知已经来过了,他就是耶稣(愿主赐他平安),正如彼得在论及耶稣(愿主赐他平安)的讲道中所说:"摩西说:'主你们的神要从你们的弟兄中,给你们兴起一位像我的先知,你们要听从他所说的一切话。凡不听从那先知的人,必从民中被灭绝。'"
The Christians claim that this prophet had already come, and that he is Jesus (PBUH), as Peter said in his speech about Jesus (PBUH) " Moses said, “ the Lord will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers, you shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.
“是的,撒母耳以及此后所有说预言的先知,也都宣告了这些日子。”(使徒行传 3:22-26)彼得的看法是,摩西的预言在耶稣的身上得到了应验。
and all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days.” (Acts: 3/22-26) Peter’s opinion is that the prophecy of Moses was fulfilled in the person of Jesus (PBUH).
然而,对这段经文加以分析,可以看到大量证据表明它指的只是我们的先知穆罕默德ﷺ,而基督徒并没有证据证明它专指耶稣。《讨拉特》提到了它所预言之人的描述:
However, the passage when analyzed shows a lot of evidence that it indicates only our prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the Christians have no evidence that it was exclusive to Jesus (PBUH). The Torah mentions the description of this person whom it prophesized:
1) 他是一位先知。"从他们的兄弟中兴起一位先知"。基督徒宣称耶稣具有神性,东正教则宣称他就是上帝本身,那么他怎能对他们说:我将兴起一位先知,而不说:我将兴起我自己,或我将兴起一位神呢?
1) He is a prophet. “A Prophet from among their brethren ", the Christians claim divinity for Jesus, and the Orthodox claim that he is God himself, so how could he tell them: I will raise a prophet, and not say: I will raise myself, or I will raise a God?
2) 他并非出自以色列的子孙,而是他们的兄弟之中的一员,也就是说,他们的堂表亲:以色列子孙的堂表亲是以撒之子以扫的子孙,以及亚伯拉罕之子以实玛利的子孙。
2) That he is not from the children of Israel, but he is among their brothers meaning their cousins "among their brothers", the cousins of the children of Israel are the children of Esau the son of Isaac, and the children of Ishmael, the son of Abraham.
在《摩西五经》中,常用“兄弟”一词来称呼堂兄弟、表亲,例如摩西对以色列子孙所说的话:
It is common in the Torah to use the word “brother" to call the cousin; an example is what Moses said to the children of Israel:
“你要吩咐百姓说:‘你们将经过你们弟兄以扫子孙的境界,他们住在西珥,你们要存戒心’”(申命记 2:4),而以扫之子,即以撒之子以扫的子孙,正如前文所提,与以色列的子孙是堂表兄弟。
“And command the people, “you are about to pass through the territory of your brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir” (Deuteronomy: 2/4), and the children of Esau son of Isaac - as mentioned before - are cousins to the children of Israel.
它也出现在对以东的描述中,以东人是以扫的后裔。《民数记》(20:14)写道:"摩西从加低斯派使者去见以东王,说:你的兄弟以色列如此说:你知道我们所遭遇的一切艰难;"另一段经文又说:"你不可憎恶以东人,因为他是你的弟兄。
It also came in the description of Edom, who is from Esau's offspring "Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel: you know all the hardship that we have met:" (Numbers: 20/14), and in another passage "You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother.
"你不可憎恶埃及人,因为你曾在他的地上寄居。"(申命记 23:7)他称他为兄弟,而他所指的是,他是以色列的一位表亲。
You shall not abhor an Egyptian; because you were a sojourner in his land." (Deuteronomy: 23/7). He called him a brother, and what he meant was that he was one of the cousins of Israel.
同样,历代志书称西底家王为约雅斤王的兄弟,经文说:"到了春天,尼布甲尼撒王差人把他和耶和华殿的宝贵器皿一同带到巴比伦,立他的兄弟西底家为犹大和耶路撒冷的王。"(历代志下 36:10)然而按照列王纪的记载,他实际上是约雅斤的叔叔。经文说:"巴比伦王立约雅斤的叔叔玛探尼雅接替他为王,并将他的名字改为西底家。"(列王纪下 24:17-18)可见经文用"兄弟"一词,实际指的是叔叔,这恰好证明了这种用法是有依据的。
Similarly, the Book of Chronicles called King Zedekiah a brother of the king Jehoiachin, it said, "In the spring of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the LORD, and made his brother Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem." (Chronicles 2: 36/10) in reality, he is his uncle according to the book of Kings. It says: "And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.” (Kings 2: 24/17-18), it used the word brother, but it meant the uncle, which confirms the validity of this use when saying:
他们的兄弟,但他指的其实是他们的堂兄弟。
"their brothers", when he meant their cousins.
基于此,这位先知有可能出自阿拉伯人,以印证应许给以实玛利后裔的祝福;也有可能出自以撒的长子以扫的后裔。
Based on that, it is possible that this prophet is from the Arabs as a validation to the blessing promised to the offspring of Ishmael, and it is possible that he is from the children of Esau the elder son of Isaac.
以扫的后裔中从来没有人声称自己是那位被期待的先知。3)这位先知的特征之一是他像摩西一样,而以色列的子孙中从来没有过像他那样的先知。"此后以色列中就再也没有兴起像摩西那样的先知,耶和华曾与他面对面地说话。"(申命记 34:10),在撒玛利亚版的《妥拉》原文中写道:"以色列中永远不会兴起像摩西那样的先知,耶和华曾与他说话。"(申命记 34:10)
None of the children of Esau ever claimed to be the expected prophet. 3) One of this prophet's characteristics is that he is like Moses, whom the children of Israel had not had a prophet like him. "And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face," (Deuteronomy: 34/10), in the Samaritan originals of the Torah it says, "And there will never arose a prophet in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD had spoken to" (Deuteronomy: 34/10).
这段描述,即"像摩西一样",是一个事实,只能符合我们的先知穆罕默德ﷺ,而不符合耶稣(愿他们都得到平安与祝福)。穆萨与穆罕默德ﷺ之间有许多相似之处,这些在耶稣身上是找不到的:穆萨与穆罕默德ﷺ都是自然出生,都有婚姻,两人都带来了律法,都被派遣时手持利剑对付敌人,两人都带领自己的民族,并且都成为了统治者,而且两人都是人类。而基督徒声称耶稣是神圣的,这一点推翻了所有的相似之处。
This description, of being like Moses, is a fact can fit only our prophet Muhammad, and not Jesus (peace and blessings be upon all of them). There are many similarities between Moses and Muhammad (PBUT), which we cannot find in Jesus. Moses’ and Muhammad’s (PBUT) natural birth, their marriage, both came with a statute, both were sent with swords over their enemy, each of them lead his nation, and became a king, and both were human, while the Christians claim that Jesus is divine, and that refutes every similarity.
耶稣描述了所期待的先知与摩西相似,并将其推开自己,他说:“不要以为我会在父面前控告你们。控告你们的有一位,就是你们所仰望的摩西。你们若信摩西,就必信我,因为他写的是关于我的事。但他的书你们若不信,又怎能信我的话呢?”(约翰福音)
Jesus described the expected prophet to be similar to Moses, driving it away from himself, he said; “Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuses you, Moses, on whom you have set your hope. If you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? (John:
(5/45-47)耶稣将所期待的先知称为“被期待的摩西”或“被期待的穆萨”,因为他与摩西相似。
5/45-47) Jesus called the expected prophet “the awaited for or the expected Moses” due to his similarity with Moses.
关于那些指责以色列子孙的人,耶稣说:"耶稣回答说:我没有被鬼附着,我乃是尊敬我父,你们却侮辱我。我不求自己的荣耀,有一位为我求,也为我判断。"(约翰福音 8:49-50)
Regarding the ones who complain about the children of Israel, Jesus (PBUH) says, "Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory, there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge." (John: 8/49-50).
4) 他是文盲,不会读,也不会写,他所接受的启示是口头的启示,不同于在他之前降给众先知的成文经典,正如经上所说:“我要把我的话放在他口中;”以及耶稣(愿他平安)
4) He is illiterate, cannot read nor write, and the revelation that comes to him is a verbal revelation, unlike the written books that came to the prophets before him “and I will put my words in his mouth;” and Jesus (PBUH)
能够阅读(参见《路加福音》4:16-18)。
was able to read (See Luke: 4/16-18).
5) 他将能够完整地传达他的信息,"并且他要将我所吩咐他的话全都告诉他们。"这一描述与穆罕默德(愿主赐福他并使他平安ﷺ)相符,正如《古兰经》后面的部分所启示的,真主说:{今日,我已为你们完善了你们的宗教,使我对你们的恩典圆满,并选择伊斯兰作为你们的宗教}(筵席章:3)。
5) He will be able to deliver his message completely, “and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.". Which is a description that matches Muhammad (PBUH), as in what was revealed to him in the later parts of the Quran when God said: {This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion} (Al-Maeda: 3).
在稍后将予以解释的“帕拉克勒托斯”预言中,耶稣描述了他,说:“但那保惠师,就是父因我的名所要差来的圣灵,他要将一切的事指教你们,并且要叫你们想起我对你们所说过的一切话。”(约翰福音 14:26)
In the Parakletos prophecy (which will be explained later ) Jesus (PBUH) described him, he said: "But the helper, the Holy spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." (John: 14/26).
不可能耶稣就是那位传达真主所命他传达的一切的先知;因为耶稣在尚有许多未完成之事时便被提升到真主那里。然而,他向他们预告了将来的先知,那位先知将告诉他们全部的真理,因为他是其使命将得以完成、且没有任何事物能阻止他传达其使命的先知。耶稣(愿主赐予他平安)说:
It is impossible that Jesus (PBUH) is that prophet who delivers all what God commands him; as Jesus (PBUH) was lifted to God when he still had a lot to complete. However, he gave them prophecies of the next prophet who will tell them the whole truth, because he is the prophet whose message will be completed and nothing will prevent him delivering his message. Jesus said (PBUH):
“我还有许多话要对你们说,但现在你们担当不了。那真理的圣灵来的时候,他要引导你们明白一切的真理,因为他不是凭自己说的,乃是要把他所听见的说出来,并且要把将来的事告诉你们。”(约翰福音 16:12-13)
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own authority; but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. “(John: 16/12-13).
6) 凡不听从此先知之言的人,神必加以惩罚,“凡不听从我以我的名所说之话的人,我必向他追讨。”彼得对这段经文的解释是:“凡不听从那先知的灵魂,必从民中被除灭。”因为他是先知,服从他、顺从他是每个人的义务。
6) Whoever does not listen to this prophet's words, God will punish, “whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.” Peter interpreted this passage as: "And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.”, for he is a prophet, adherence and obedience to him is a duty to everyone.
凡不遵从他的人都将遭受神的惩罚,穆罕默德ﷺ的所有敌人正是如此遭遇的。神惩罚了所有否认他的多神教徒,无论是阿拉伯人还是波斯人。耶稣(PBUH)在关于园丁的预言中(稍后将作解释)论及他说:"凡掉在这块石头上的,必被摔碎;这石头掉在谁身上,必将他砸成粉末。"(马太福音 21:44),因此他就是那坚固的磐石,将消灭他悖逆的敌人;先知但以理曾预言他的来临:"当这些君王的时候,天上的神必要兴起一个国,永不败坏,这国也不归别族。这国必打碎灭绝那些国,他自己却要存到永远。你所看见non手不凿而从山中滚出的石头,打碎了铁、铜、泥、银、金,就是至大的神把后来必有的事指示君王了。这梦是真的,解梦也是确实的。"(但以理书 2:21-45)
Those who will not adhere to him will be subject to God's punishment, and that is exactly what happened to all of Muhammad's (PBUH) enemies. God took revenge on all the polytheists who denied him, Arabs or Persians. Jesus (PBUH) said about him in the prophecy of the husbandmen (to be explained later): "And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.” (Matthew: 21/44), so he is the solid rock that will erase his disobedient enemies, the one whom the prophet Daniel gave prophecies of his arrival " And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever. Just as you saw that the stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; a great God has made known to the king that shall be after this. The dream is certain, and the interpretation sure." (Daniel: 2/21-45).
至于耶稣(愿主赐他平安),他并没有这种力量。他甚至没有威胁过杀害他的人,更何况那些不遵从他话语的人。路加在叙述钉十字架的经过时说:"耶稣说:父阿,赦免他们,因为他们所作的,他们不晓得。"(路加福音 23:34)那么,那段"凡不听从我以我的名所说之话的人,我必向他追讨"的经文,与耶稣又有何关系呢?
As for Jesus (PBUH), he did not have this strength. He did not even threaten his murderers, so what about those who did not adhere to his words. Luke said in the course of the crucifixion story "And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” (Luke: 23/34), where is Jesus from that prophet “whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”?
7) 关于这位先知的一项描述是,他不会被杀;真主将保护他的灵魂,使其不被愚昧之人夺去。假先知则会受到惩罚,“那先知必死”,意即被杀,因为被杀也是死亡的一种,而且人人都会死。基督徒声称耶稣被钉死,因此他不可能是所应许的先知。参照这段经文的旧译本,我们会发现翻译过程中出现了一些改动,例如1844年版中的“这位先知被杀”,而这种改动的原因并不是什么秘密。
7) One of the descriptions of this prophet is that he will not be killed; instead, God will spare his soul from being taken by the hands of the foolish. The false prophet will be punished “even that prophet shall die ", meaning to be killed, as killing is part of death, and because everyone will die. The Christians claim that Jesus was killed, so it is not possible that he is the promised prophet. Referring to the old translations of this passage we will find that some alterations took place during the translation, as in what came in the 1844 edition "for this prophet to be killed", and it is not a secret why this alteration took place.
他谈论未知之事,而现实与他的话相符。这类奇迹在《古兰经》和穆罕默德(愿主福安之)的圣训中有数不胜数的记载。
8) He talks about the unknown, and the reality matches his words. That type of miracles is described in the Quran and the tradition of Muhammad (PBUH) in uncountable volume.
然而,我在这里只提及穆罕默德ﷺ所作的一则预言,而它正如他所说的那样发生了。
However, I will mention here only one of the prophecies Muhammad (PBUH) made, and it took place exactly as he mentioned.
在公元617年,波斯人几乎将罗马帝国从世界版图上抹去。当时,名为“埃伯维兹二世皇帝”的军队进入尼罗河流域,并攻占了罗马帝国的大片领土。几年之内,波斯军队控制了叙利亚和埃及的部分地区,其军队还攻占了北方的安条克,这清楚地预示着罗马帝国的终结。甚至赫拉克留斯也想逃离君士坦丁堡,但罗马最高的祭司说服他保持坚忍,并请求与波斯人签订屈辱的停战协定。就在这些事件之中,与一切预期相反,穆罕默德先知ﷺ宣布,罗马人将在几年之内战胜波斯人,时间不超过九年,这是真主启示给他的:{罗马人已被打败。在近处的土地上(叙利亚、伊拉克、约旦和巴勒斯坦),而他们在被打败之后,将在三至九年之内获胜。事情的决定,无论在此之前还是之后,都只属于真主(在罗马人被波斯人打败之前,以及之后,即波斯人被罗马人打败之后)。在那一天,信士们(即穆斯林)将因真主赐予罗马人战胜波斯人而欢喜。真主援助他所意欲援助的人,他是至尊的,是至慈的。}(《罗马人章》:2-5)
In 617 C.E., the Persians almost erased the Roman Empire from the world map, as the troops of “Caesar Eiberweez the second” arrived in the Nile Valley, and captured great parts of the Roman Empire. In a few years, the Persian army was able to control Syria and parts of Egypt, and their troops took over Antioch in the north, which was a clear picture showing the end of the Roman Empire. Even Hercules wanted to flee from Constantinople, but the highest Roman priest convinced him to be tolerant and to request a humiliated truce with the Persians. In the middle of all these events and against the entire expectations, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) announced that the Romans would be victorious over the Persians in few years, not more than nine years, as in what was revealed to him by God: {The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious, within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that Day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allâh to the Romans against the Persians), With the help of Allâh, He helps whom He wills, and He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.} (Al-Room: 2-5).
发生的事情正与他的预言完全吻合。在623年、624年、625年
What had happened is exactly what he predicted. In 623, 624, 625
公元627年,赫拉克留斯摆脱了自己的愚蠢,发动了三次成功的战役,把波斯人赶出了叙利亚。公元627年,罗马人继续推进,直至抵达波斯国境内的底格里斯河岸,这迫使波斯人向罗马人请求停战,并且他们把已落入其手中的圣十字架归还给了罗马人。
C.E., Hercules was able to get rid of his own foolishness, and he waged three successful war campaigns that threw the Persians out of Syria. In 627 C.E., the Romans continued advancing, until they arrived at the Tigris shores inside the border of the Persian state, which forced the Persians to request a truce with the Romans, and they returned the Holy Cross back to them after it fell into their hands.
谁告诉穆罕默德ﷺ这个伟大的预言?他,穆罕默德ﷺ,正是摩西预言过的那位先知。
Who told Muhammad (PBUH) about this great prophecy? He, Muhammad (PBUH) is the prophet that Moses (PBUH) prophesized.
historian 爱德华·吉本说:"在那个时候,当《古兰经》带着这一预言降临时,没有其他预言能达到这样的程度,因为希拉克略统治的头十二年预示着罗马帝国的终结"。1
The historian Edward Gibbon says: "at that time, when the Quran came with this prophecy, no other prophecy went that far, because the first twelve years of Hercules’ ruling was indicating the end of the Roman Empire". 1
据提尔米兹圣训集记载,伊本·阿拔斯谈到真主的经文:{罗马人已经战败了,在近地(叙利亚、伊拉克、约旦和巴勒斯坦),而他们在战败之后,将在三年至九年之内获胜。事情的主宰,在先在后,都只属于真主。(在罗马人被波斯人击败之前,以及之后,即波斯人被罗马人击败之后。)}多神教徒希望波斯人击败罗马人,因为他们两者都崇拜偶像。穆斯林则希望罗马人击败波斯人,因为罗马人是有经典的信士。他们把这件事告诉了艾卜·伯克尔,艾卜·伯克尔又告诉了穆罕默德ﷺ。于是穆罕默德ﷺ回答说:“他们必将战胜波斯人。”艾卜·伯克尔把穆罕默德ﷺ对他所说的话告诉了穆斯林,他们便说:“让我们与你们之间定一个期限,如果我们获胜,我们得到这样那样的东西;如果你们获胜,你们得到这样那样的东西。”于是他定了五年的期限,结果罗马人没有获胜。他们把此事告诉了先知穆罕默德ﷺ,他说:“你们不能把期限定在十年以内吗?”“十年以内的期限,少之又少。”
Al-Termethy narrated that Ibn Abbas said about God's words: {The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious, within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans)} The polytheists wanted the Persians to defeat the Romans, because both of them worshiped idols. The Muslims wanted the Romans to defeat the Persians because they were believers of the Holy Books. They mentioned that to Abu Bakr, and he mentioned it to Muhammad (PBUH). Then Muhammad (PBUH) replied, “Indeed they will defeat them”. Abu Bakr told the Muslims what Muhammad (PBUH) said to him, and then they said, ‘let us set a date between us and you, so if we win we get this and that, and if you win you get this and that’. He set a time of five years, and they did not win, so they mentioned this to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and he said, ‘couldn't you make it less than ten years’? “Few are less than ten”.
然后罗马人取得了胜利,他说,这一点载于真主的话语中:{罗马人已被打败。在较近的地方(叙利亚、伊拉克、约旦和巴勒斯坦),而他们在失败之后,将会获胜。在三至九年之内。事情的决定权,无论在此之前还是之后,都只属于安拉(在罗马人被波斯人打败之前,以及之后,即波斯人被罗马人打败之后)}。1
Then the Romans became victorious, afterwards, he said, that is found in God's words: {The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious. Within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans)}. 1
每一位公正的观察者都清楚,先知穆萨预言的那位先知的描述,并不符合伟大的耶稣的身份,而是与穆罕默德ﷺ的身份相符。
It is clear to every just observer that the description of the prophet that prophet Moses prophesized, were not matched in the person of the great Jesus (PBUH), but matched in the person of Muhammad (PBUH).
为了确认这些特征并非都与穆罕默德(PBUH)之前的任何其他先知相符,犹太人并不声称这位弥赛亚已在过去降临,而是仍在期待他。 Wait, correction: the rules require ﷺ after the Prophet Muhammad mention, and not the written-out "(PBUH)". The text says "Muhammad (PBUH)", so I replace that with ﷺ. 为了确认这些特征并非都与穆罕默德ﷺ之前的任何其他先知相符,犹太人并不声称这位弥赛亚已在过去降临,而是仍在期待他。
To confirm that not all these characteristics do match any of the other prophets before Muhammad (PBUH) is that the Jews do not claim that this messiah came in the past, but they are still expecting him.
当约翰(PBUH)被派遣时,犹太人以为他就是所应许的先知,于是他们问他:"那么,你是谁?"
When John (PBUH) was sent, the Jews thought he was the promised prophet, and they asked him "And they asked him, what then?
你是以利亚吗?他说:“我不是。”你是那位先知吗?
Are you Elijah? He said, “I am not.” Are you the prophet?
他回答说:"不是。"(约翰福音 1:21),意思是我不是你们所期待的那位先知。
And he answered, no." (John: 1/21), meaning that I am not the prophet whom you are expecting.
门徒希望预言应验在耶稣身上,有一次他们看见他的神迹,“众人看见耶稣所行的神迹,就说:‘这真是那要到世上来的先知了。’耶稣知道他们要来强逼他作王,就又独自退到山上去了。”(约翰福音 6:14-15),耶稣的门徒想要立他为王,以应验他们对那将要来的先知所怀的预言,那先知是统治者,会为他的子民带来胜利。耶稣知道自己不是那位将要来的先知,于是躲开了。
The disciples wanted the prophecy to match Jesus (PBUH), as one time when they saw his miracles “when the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world. Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself." (John: 6/14-15), the disciples of Jesus (PBUH) wanted to appoint him as a king in order to fulfill the prophecy they had about the expected prophet, the one who rules and brings victory to his people, and since Jesus (PBUH) knew that he was not the expected prophet, he escaped.
基督徒宣称,《托拉》经文(申命记 18:17-22)中存在一个问题,将驳倒穆斯林的主张。在该段经文的开头,上帝对摩西说:
The Christians declare that there is a problem in the Torah's text (Deuteronomy: 18/17-22) that will refute the Muslims’ claim. At the beginning of the Passage, God spoke to Moses and said:
“耶和华你的神必从你中间,从你的弟兄中,给你兴起一位先知像我一样;你们要听从他。这正合乎你在何烈山集会之日求耶和华你神所说的话,就是:‘求你不要再让我们听见耶和华我们神的声音,也不要再让我们看见这大火,免得我们死亡。’耶和华对我说:‘他们所说的话都是对的。我要从他们的弟兄中给他们兴起一位先知像你一样,我要把我的话放在他口中,他要把我所吩咐他的,全都告诉他们。’”(申命记 18:15-18)它说这位先知是“从你中间”的,即出自以色列人的子孙。因此,第二句应当与第一句相连,所以这位先知是“从你中间”的先知,或如某些译本所作的“从你们中间”,也就是说他是以色列人。
“The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among you, from your brothers. It is to him you shall listen; just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, or see this great fire any more, lest I die. And the LORD said to me, They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a Prophet from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him.” (Deuteronomy: 18/15-18) it describes the prophet as “a Prophet from among you” meaning from the children of Israel. Therefore, the second sentence should be connected to the first sentence, so the prophet “a Prophet from among you” or as in what came in some of the translations “among you” that he is an Israeli.
然而,研究者认为这段经文是一种篡改或增添,其证据是:摩西(PBUH)在向以色列子民重述关于那位先知的消息时,并未提及此事。他说:“耶和华对我说:‘他们所说的话都是有道理的。我要从他们的兄弟中间,给他们兴起一位像你的先知,将我的话放在他口中,他要把我所吩咐他的,都告诉他们……’”(申命记 18:17-18)。如果这是出自神的话语,摩西(PBUH)就不会略去不提了。
However, researchers see this passage as an alteration, an addition, and the proof is that Moses (PBUH) never mentioned it when he repeated the news about the prophet to the children of Israel, he said, “And the LORD said to me “They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him...” (Deuteronomy: 18/17-18), if it was from the words of God, Moses (PBUH) would not drop it.
此外,这段文字并未出现在彼得和史蒂文森对该文本的引述中。在《使徒行传》中,彼得说:"摩西说,主神将从你们的弟兄中为你们兴起一位像我一样的先知。他对你们所说的一切话,你们都要听从。"(《使徒行传》3:22)
In addition, this passage is not found in Peter and Stevenson’s quote of the text, as in the book of Acts, Peter said: “Moses said, the Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.” (Acts: 3/22).
史蒂文森说:"这就是摩西,他对以色列人说:神要从你们的弟兄中给你们兴起一位先知,像我一样。"(使徒行传 7:37)他也没有提到这段经文;如果它是真实的,那么所有的引用中都应该会提到它。
Stevenson said: “This is the Moses, who said to the Israelites, God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.” (Acts: 7/37) he also did not mention this passage; if it was genuine it would have been mentioned in all quotations.
