耶穌就是耶和華JesusIs Jehovah
作者：Denny Prutow 翻譯：駱鴻銘
詩篇100篇是用這個呼召開始的，「普天下當向耶和華歡呼。」英文聖經譯本是用全部大寫字母LORD來翻譯「耶和華」，以表明背後的希伯來文是雅威（Yahweh）或耶和華（Jehovah）。保羅宣告耶穌是主時，把耶和華和耶穌視為等同：
Psalm
100 begins with this call, “Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.” Our
versions translate LORD in all caps to indicate the underlying Hebrew is the
Name, Yahweh or Jehovah. Paul equates Jehovah with Jesus when he declares of
Jesus,
神將祂（基督）升為至高，又賜給祂那超乎萬名之上的名， 叫一切在天上的、地上的，和地底下的，因耶穌的名無不屈膝， 無不口稱「耶穌基督為主」，使榮耀歸與父神。（腓二9～11）
God
highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so
that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and
on earth and under the earth (Phil. 2:10-11).
「萬膝都要跪拜」，這些話是引自先知以賽亞，耶和華在那裏談到自己（賽四五21）。祂宣稱萬膝都要向祂跪拜，萬口必承認祂（賽四五23）。希臘文舊約聖經中的第23節寫道：「萬口都要向我跪拜並向上帝懺悔。」這裏是完整的引用。
The
words, EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, are taken from the prophet Isaiah. Jehovah speaks
of Himself (Isa. 45:21). He declares that every knee will bow to Him and that
every tongue will confess Him (Isa. 45:23). Verse 23 in the Greek Old Testament
reads, “Every tongue shall bow to Me and make confession to God.” Here is the
complete quote.
不是我耶和華嗎？除了我以外，再沒有神；我是公義的神，又是救主；除了我以外，再沒有別神。地極的人都當仰望我，就必得救；因為我是神，再沒有別神。 我指著自己起誓，我口所出的話是憑公義，並不反回：萬膝必向我跪拜；萬口必憑我起誓。（賽四五21～23）。
Is it
not I, the LORD? And there is no other God besides Me, A righteous God and a
Savior; There is none except Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the
earth; For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, The word
has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to
Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear (Isa. 45:21-23).
在聖靈的默示下，使徒保羅把以賽亞論及耶和華的話應用在耶穌身上。他教導我們，耶穌就是耶和華。腓立比書二10～11並不是保羅邁出這一大步唯一的一個地方。
Under
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul applies to Jesus the words
of Isaiah that speak of Jehovah. He teaches us that Jesus is Jehovah.
Philippians 2:10-11 is not the only place where Paul takes this grand step.
考慮羅馬書第十章。我們通常會引用第9節，「你若口裏認耶穌為主，心裏信上帝叫祂從死裡復活，就必得救。」我們必須承認的這位主是誰呢？羅馬書十章11～13節會幫助我們回答。保羅繼續論到基督：
Consider
Romans 10. We commonly quote verse 9, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as
Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved.” Who is this Lord we must confess? Romans 10:11-13 help us answer. Paul continues to speak about Christ.
（因為） 經上說：「凡信祂的人必不至於羞愧。」
猶太人和希利尼人並沒有分別，因為眾人同有一位主；祂也厚待一切求告祂的人。 因為「凡求告主名的，就必得救。」（羅十11～13）
For
the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” For
there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of
all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE
NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
首先，保羅引用了以賽亞書廿八章16節，其中論到基督是房角石（參照彼得前書二5～6）。既然救恩之道是求告基督，保羅就催促我們求告「主（LORD=耶和華」的名（約珥書二32 凡求告耶和華的名就必得救）。這裏又一次說到，主就是耶和華。藉著這個引用，保羅告訴我們耶穌就是耶和華。
First,
Paul quotes from Isaiah 28:16, which speaks of Christ, the chief cornerstone
(Compare 1 Peter 2:5-6). Since the way of salvation is to call upon Christ,
Paul urges us to call on the Name of the LORD (Joel 2:32). Again, the LORD is
Jehovah. And by way of this quotation, Paul teaches us that Jesus is Jehovah.
回到羅馬書十章9節，認耶穌為主是什麼意思。在保羅的思想中，他是在呼召你我承認耶穌基督就是耶和華。保羅呼召你我承認耶穌基督是上帝的道成肉身。保羅呼召你我承認耶穌就是耶和華，是一切生命的主。祂是永活的上帝。
Going
back to Romans 10:9, what does it mean to confess that Jesus is Lord. In Paul’s
thinking, he is calling upon you and me to confess that Jesus Christ is
Jehovah. Paul is calling upon you and me to confess that Jesus Christ is God
incarnate. Paul is calling upon you and me to confess that as Jehovah, Jesus is
LORD of all of life. He is the Living God.
祂是那位活出絕對完美生命的人。因此，祂成了祂子民的罪的完美祭牲。祂死了，埋葬了，第三天又復活了。祂升上高天，坐在高天至尊者的右邊。祂就是耶和華。我的訴求很簡單：向這位耶穌屈膝；認識並信靠祂作你的上帝；信靠祂為你成就的生命與死亡；承認祂是你的主。
He is
the One who lived an absolutely perfect life. Thus, He became a perfect
sacrifice for the sins of His people. He died and was buried. He rose again the
third day. He ascended into heaven. He took His place on the throne of the
Majesty on high. He is LORD. My plea is simple. Bow your knee to this Jesus.
Know and trust Him as your GOD. Trust His life and death for you. Confess Him as
your LORD.
