诺亚方舟是什么意思啊?

诺亚方舟是什么意思啊?

"诺亚方舟"是出自圣经《创世纪》中的一个引人入胜的传说。由于偷吃禁果,亚当夏娃被逐出伊甸园。此后,该隐诛弟,揭开了人类互相残杀的序幕。人世间充满着强暴、仇恨和嫉妒,只有诺亚是个义人。上帝看到人类的种种罪恶,愤怒万分,决定用洪水毁灭这个已经败坏的世界, 只给诺亚留下有限的生灵。

上帝要求诺亚用歌斐木建造方舟,并把舟的规格和造法传授给诺亚。此后,诺亚一边赶造方舟,一边劝告世人悔改其行为。诺亚在独立无援的情况下,花了整整120年时间终于造成了一只庞大的方舟,并听从上帝的话,把全家八口搬了进去,各种飞禽走兽也一对对赶来,有条不紊地进入方舟。7天后,洪水自天而降,一连下了40个昼夜,人群和动植物全部陷入没顶之灾。除诺亚一家人以外,亚当和夏娃的其他后代都被洪水吞没了,连世界上最高的山峰都低于水面7米。

上帝顾念诺亚和方舟中的飞禽走兽,便下令止雨兴风,风吹着水,水势渐渐消退。诺亚方舟停靠在亚拉腊山边。又过了几十天,诺亚打开方舟的窗户,放出一只乌鸦去探听消息,但乌鸦一去不回。诺亚又把一只鸽子放出去,要它去看看地上的水退了没有。由于遍地是水,鸽子找不到落脚之处,又飞回方舟。七天之后,诺亚又把鸽子放出去,黄昏时分,鸽子飞回来了,嘴里衔着橄榄叶,很明显是从树上啄下来的。诺亚由此判断,地上的水已经消退。后世的人们就用鸽子和橄 榄枝来象征和平。

这就是"诺亚方舟"故事的由来,虽然是个传说,但由于《圣经》中记载的很多事情都被证实是真实的,譬如,在一次战争中,一位军官根据《圣经》中的记载,成功地找到了大山里的一条秘密小道,并通过这条小道突然出现在敌人面前,取得巨大胜利。如果能证明"诺亚方舟"也是真实的,那么这个发现肯定将在全世界引起轰动。所以,很多年以来,许多国家的圣经考古学家 都希望揭开这个千古之谜。

诺亚方舟肯定只是个传说,但圣经中的大洪水则是有所本的。

中东地区古代民族几乎都有类似的洪水故事。据考证应该源于两河流域,古代洪水较多。

圣经故事“诺亚方舟”

(1)

This is the story of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, the one blameless man of his time;he walked with God. He had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. Now God saw that the whole world was corrupt and frll of violence. In his sight the world had become corrupted, for all men had lived corrupt lives on earth. God said to Noah,‘The lo

athsomeness of all mankind has become plain to me, for through them the earth is full of violence. I intend to destroy them, and the earth with them. Make yourself an ark with ribs of cypress;cover it with reeds and coat it inside and out with pitch. I intend to bring the waters of the flood over the earth to destroy every human being under heaven that has the spirit of life;everything on earth shall perish. But with you I will make a covenant, and you shall go into the ark, you and your sons, your wife and your sons'wives with you. And you shall bring living creatrues of every kind into the ark to keep them alive with you. two of each kind, a male and a female;two of every kind of bird, beast, and reptile, shall come to you to be kept alive. See that you take and store every kind of food that can be eaten;this shall be food for you and for them. ’Exactly as God had commanded him, so Noah did.

And so, to escape the waters of the flood, Noah went into the ark with his sons, his wife, and his sons'wives. And into the ark with Noah went one pair, male and female, of all beasts, clean and unclean, of birds and of everything that crawls on the ground, two by two, as God had commanded. Towards the edn of seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth. In the year when Noah was six hundred years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, on that very day, all the springs of the great abyss broke through, the win-dows of the sky were opened, and rain fell on the earth for fortydays and forty nights…The flood continued upon the earth for forty days, and the waters swelled and lifted up the ark so that it rose high above the ground. More and more the waters increased over the earth until they covered all the high mountains everywhere under heaven. The waters increased and the mountains were covered to a depth of fifteen cubits. Everything died that had the breath of life in its nostrils, everything on dry land. God wiped out every living thing that existed on earth, man and beast, reptile and bird;they were all wiped out over the whole earth, and only Noah and his company in the ark survived.

(2)

After forty days Noah opened the trap-door that he had made in the ark , and released a raven to see whether the water had subsided, but the bird continued flying to and fro until the water on the earth had dried up. Noah waited for seven days, and then he released a dove from the ark to see whether the water on the earth had subsided fruther. But the dove found no place where she could settle, and so she came back to him in the ark, because there was water over the whole surface of the earth. He waited another seven days and again released the dove from the ark. She came back to him towards evening with a newly plucked olive leaf in her beak. Then Noah knew for certain that the water on the earth had subsided still further. He waited yet another seven days and released the dove, but she never came back. And so it came about that, on the first day of the first month of his six hundred and first year, the water had dried up on the earth, and Noah removed the hatch and looked out of the ark. The surface of the ground was dry.

By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the whole earth was dry. And God said to Noah, ‘Come out of the ark, you and your wife, yoursons and their wives. Bring out every living creature that is with you, live things of every kind, bird and beast and every reptile that moves on the ground, and let them swarm over the earth and be fruitful and increase there. ’So Noah came out with his sons, his wife, and his sons'wives. Every wild animal, all cattle, every bird, and every reptile that moves on the ground, came out of the ark by families. Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. He took ritually clean beastsand birds of every kind, and offered whole-offerings on the altar. When the Lord smelt the soothing odour, he said within himself, ‘Never again will I curse the ground because of man, however evil his inclinations may be from his youth upwards. I will never again kell every living creature, as I have just done. ’

挪亚方舟--创世记

(一)

下面是挪亚的故事。挪亚是一个正直的人,在当时是一个完人。他追随上帝行事。他有三个儿子:闪、含、和雅弗。上帝看见整个世界腐朽了,到处都是暴力。他认为世界充斥着罪恶,因为所有世上的人都过着邪恶的生活。上帝对挪亚说:“人类的可憎我再清楚不过了,他们使这世界充满了仇杀。我有意要毁灭他们,也毁灭掉同他们一起的这个世界。你要为自己造一艘方舟,用丝柏木做船架,覆盖上芦苇,再在里外两面涂上树脂。我要使洪水泛滥全世界,消灭天下所有活着的人,地上万物也要消灭光。但我要与你立约。你到时就带着你的妻子、儿子、儿媳们一起进入方舟。你还要把各种飞禽、走兽、爬虫,每样两只,雌雄各一带上,和你一道登舟,在船上喂养好。此外还要带上各种吃的东西,储存在船上,作为你们和动物的食粮。”挪亚遵照上帝的话,一一办到了。

这样,为了躲避洪水,挪亚和他的妻、子及儿媳们都上了方舟。和他一起上船的还有那些动物:洁净的和不洁净的牲畜,每种都是雌雄一对;所有的鸟类和地上的爬虫,也是一对一对的,按上帝的吩咐那样都上了船。第七天结束的时候,洪水降临到大地。那年挪亚是六百岁,二月十七日那天,大深渊的所有泉源一齐喷发起来,天穹洞开,大雨倾盆,不停地下了四十个昼夜。……洪水泛滥了四十天,大水涨起来把方舟托起,高高地升离地面之上。落在地面的水越来越多,淹没了天下所有的高山。水一直涨到浸没高山十五腕尺之深。一切有气息的生物,所有生活在陆地上的东西,全都没有了。上帝清除了世上的生物,人也好,兽也好,爬虫也好,飞鸟也好,全部从地面上消灭干净,惟独挪亚和在方舟上的他一起的妻子儿媳、鸟兽爬虫活了下来。

(二)

四十天后,挪亚打开了他方舟上的天窗,放出一只乌鸦去看看水退了没有,但乌鸦飞来飞去,到地面上的水都快干涸也没回来。挪亚等了七天,再从舟上放出一只鸽子去看看地上的水是否再退了些。但因为地面全部都是水,鸽子没落脚的地方,就飞回挪亚的方舟那里。挪亚又等了七天,再次从舟上放出那鸽子去。傍晚时分,鸽子回来了,嘴里衔着一片刚啄下的橄榄叶。挪亚就知道地面上的水退得差不多了。但他又多等了七天,然后放那鸽子出去。这回它再也没有回来了。这样,在挪亚六百零一岁那年的正月初一,地上的水终于退了,挪亚打开舱口盖,从方舟上向外探望,地面已经完全干了。

二月二十七日,大地全都干了。上帝对挪亚说:“你和你的妻子,你儿子儿媳们都从方舟上出来吧。把你带上方舟去的各种地上生物,鸟兽爬虫都放出来吧,让它们滋生繁衍,遍布全世界吧。”挪亚就同他的妻子、儿子儿媳们从方舟上走出来。各种地上生物:野兽、牲畜、鸟类和爬虫都是雌雄配对的,也都下了船。接着,挪亚为天主修了一座祭坛。他选了各种各样洁净的鸟兽作为供品,放在祭坛上奉献给天主。天主闻到了供品的香味,心里想道:“我再也不会因人类而使大地遭到灾祸了。不论人从小就有多少邪念,我都不会笳獯文茄

诺亚方舟现在是指危难时刻的救命稻草.原故事如下:

神命诺亚造方舟

神见人在地上罪恶很大,终日所思想的尽都是恶,神就后悔造人在地上,心中忧伤。神说“我要将所造的人和走兽,并昆虫,经及空中的飞鸟,都从地上除灭,因为我造他们后悔了”。唯有诺亚在神眼前蒙恩。

神观看世界,见是败坏了;凡有血气的人,在地上都败坏了行为。

神就对诺亚说:“凡有血气的人,他的尽头已经来到我面前,因为地上满了他们的强暴,我要把他们和地一并毁灭。你要用歌斐木造一只方舟,分一间一间地造,里外抹上松香。方舟的造法乃是这样:要长三百肘,宽五十肘,高三十肘。方舟上边要留透光处,高一肘。方舟的门要开在旁边。方舟要分上、中、下三层。看哪,我要使洪水泛滥在地上,毁火天下。凡地上有血肉、有气息的活物,无一不死。“我却要与你立约。你同你的妻,与儿子、儿妇,都要进人方舟。”凡有血肉的活物,每样两个,一公一母,你要带进方舟,好在你那里保全生命。飞鸟各从其类,牲畜各从其类,地上的昆虫各从其类,每样两个,要到你里时,好保全生命。你要拿各样食物积蓄起来,好作你和它们的食物。”诺亚就这样行。凡神所吩咐的,他都照样行了。

诺亚进方舟

耶和华对诺亚说:“你和你的全家都要进人方舟,同为在这一世代中,找见你在我面前是义人。凡洁净的畜类,你要带七公七母;不洁净的畜类,你要带一公一母;空中的飞鸟也要带七公七母,可以留种,活在全地上。因为再过七天,我要降雨在地上四十昼夜,把我所造的各种活物都从地上除灭。”诺亚就遵着耶和华所吩咐的行了。

当洪水泛滥在地上的时候,诺亚整六百岁。诺亚就同他的妻和儿子、儿妇,都进入方舟,躲避洪水。洁净的畜类和不洁净的畜类,飞鸟并地上一切的昆虫,都是一对一对地,有公有母,到诺亚那里进人方舟,正如神所吩咐诺亚的。过了那七天,洪水泛滥在地上。当诺亚六百岁,二月十七那一天,天渊的泉源都裂开了,天上的窗户也敞开了。四十昼夜降天雨在地上。

正当那日,诺亚和他三个儿子闪、含、雅弗,并诺亚的一妻子和三个儿妇,都进人方舟。他们和百兽,各从其类;一切牲畜,各从其类;爬在地上的昆虫,各从其类;一切禽鸟,各从其类,都进人方舟。凡有血肉、有气息的活物,都一对一对地到诺亚那里,进人方舟。凡有血肉进人方丹的,都是有公有母,正如神所吩咐诺亚的。耶和华就把他关在方舟里头。

洪水泛滥四十日

洪水泛滥在地上四十天,水往上长,把方舟从地上漂起。水势浩天,在地上天天地往上长,方舟在水面上漂来漂去。水势在地上极其浩天,天下的高山都淹没了。水势比山高过十五肘,山岭都淹没了。凡在地上有血肉的动物,就是飞鸟、牲畜、走兽,和爬在地上的昆虫,以及所有的人都死了;凡在旱地上、鼻孔有气息的生灵都死了;凡地上各类的活物,连人带牲畜、昆虫,以及空中的一飞鸟,都从地上除灭了,只留下诺亚和那些与他问在方舟里的。水势浩天,在地上共一百五十天。

洪水消落

神记念诺亚和诺亚方舟里的一切走兽牲畜。神叫风吹地,水势渐落。渊源和天上的窗户都闭塞了,天上的天雨也止住了。水从地上渐退。过了一百五十天,水就渐消。七月十七日,方舟停在亚拉腊山上。水又渐消,到十月初一日,山顶都现出来了。

诺亚放乌鸦与鸽出方舟

过了四十天,诺亚开了方舟的窗户,放出一只乌鸦去。那乌鸦飞来飞去,直到地上的水都干了。他又放出一只鸽子去,要看看水从地上退了没有。但遍地上都是水,鸽子找不着落脚之地,就回到方舟诺亚那里,诺亚伸手把鸽子接进方舟来。他又等了七天,再把鸽子从方舟放出去。到了晚上,鸽子回到他那里,嘴里叼着一个新拧下来的橄榄叶子,诺亚就知道地上的水退了。他又等了七天,放出鸽子去,鸽子就不再回来了。

到诺亚六百零一岁,正月初一日,地上的水都干了。诺亚撤去方舟的盖观看,便见地面上干了。到了二月二十七日,地就都干了。

诺亚和全家出方舟

神对诺亚说:“你和你的妻子、儿子、儿妇都可以出方舟。在你那里凡有血肉的活物,就是飞鸟、牲畜,和一切爬在地上的昆虫,都要带出来,叫它在地上多多滋生,天天兴旺。”于是诺亚和他的妻子、儿子、儿妇都出来了。一切走兽、昆虫、飞鸟,和地上所有的动物,各从其类,也都出了方舟。

诺亚筑坛献祭

诺亚为耶和华筑了一座坛,拿各类洁净的牲畜、飞鸟献在坛上为燔祭。耶和华闻那馨香之气,就心里说:“我不再因人的缘故咒诅地(人从小时心里怀着恶念),也不再按着我才行的,灭各种的活物了。地还存留的时候,稼穑、寒暑、冬夏、昼夜就永不停息了。”

神赐福给诺亚

神赐福给诺亚和他的儿子,对他们说:“你们要生养众多,遍满了地。凡地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟,都必惊恐、惧怕你们;连地上一切的昆虫并海里一切的鱼,都天讨你们的手。凡活着的动物,都可以作你们的食物,这一切我都赐给你们,如同菜蔬一样。惟独肉带着血,那就是它的生命,你们不可吃。流你们血、害你们命的,无论是兽是人,我必讨他的罪,就是向各人的弟兄也是如此。凡流人血的,他的血也必被人所流,因为神造人,是照自己的形像造的。你们要生养众多,在地上昌盛繁茂。”

神晓谕诺亚和他的儿子说:“我与你们和你们的后裔立约,并与你们这里的一切活物,就是飞鸟、牲畜、走兽,凡从方舟里出来的活物立约。我与你们立约,凡有血肉的,不再被洪水灭绝,也不再有洪水毁坏地了。”

立虹为记

神说:“我与你们并你们这里的各样活物所立的永约是有记号的。我把虹放在云彩中,这就可作我与地立约的记号了。我使云彩盖地的时候,必有虹现在云彩中,我便记念我与你们和各样有血肉的活物所立的约,水就再不泛滥毁坏一切有血肉的物了。虹必现在云彩中,我看见,就要记念我与地上各样有血肉的活物所立的永约。”神对诺亚说:“这就是我与地上一切有血肉之物立约的记号了。”

圣经故事中一艘让诺亚和家人以及世界上每种类一对的动物活下来的船,其它的则被上帝的洪水淹死
