The Bible Says
西番雅书 2:12 含义

耶和华继续向犹大邻国发出审判的信息。这一次,审判落在了南部的埃塞俄比亚。上帝没有多说埃塞俄比亚的土地,也没有说明审判的原因。他只是宣布了这个国家的灭亡,说:埃塞俄比亚人啊,你们也要被我的刀杀掉(第 12 节)。

译作埃塞俄比亚人的希伯来语是“库实人”。它指的是非洲努比亚地区的居民。库实所指的地区不是现代的埃塞俄比亚,而是埃及南部尼罗河沿岸的地区。这个地方也被称为努比亚,大致相当于现代的苏丹。

古实人(或埃塞俄比亚人)是含的长子古实的后裔(创世记 10:6;历代志上 1:8)。古实一词的意思是“黑色”,而从历史上看,古实人的皮肤是深色的(耶利米书 13:23)。摩西娶了一位古实妻子(民数记 12:1)。我们只知道这些埃塞俄比亚人将被上帝的剑杀死的形象意味着埃塞俄比亚人将在战斗中被击败。

这里没有告诉我们埃塞俄比亚人做了什么事导致上帝的审判。看来犹太人被流放到古实,因为西番雅书 3:10 写道:

“从埃塞俄比亚河流那边(古实),我的崇拜者,我的分散者,将带来我的祭品。”

列王纪下 19:9 暗示古实试图帮助希西家对抗亚述人。这表明古实是国际舞台上的一个角色,拥有物质军事实力。然而,我们不知道细节。

从历史来看,当波斯国王坎比西斯二世于公元前 525 年击败埃及和埃塞俄比亚并将他们纳入波斯帝国时,这个预言很可能已经实现。
