The rifeth up quickly, and goeth to him. (30.) Now Jefus was not yet come to the village,' but was at the place, where Martha met him. (31.) And, when the Jews, who were with Mary, in the houfe, comforting her, faw how haflily fhe iofe up and went out, they followed her; faying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there. (32.) As foon as Mary was come where Jefus was, and faw him, he fell at his feet, and faid unto him Mafter, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died. (33.) When Jefus, therefore, beheld her weeping, and the Jews, who had come with her, weeping allo; he earneftly confrained himself and ftruggled with his feelings, (34.) and faid: Where have ye laid him ? They fay unto him: Teacher, come and fee. (35.) Jefus wept. (36.) Then faid the Jews: Behold! how he loved him! (37.) But fome of them faid: Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have alfo hindered his death? (38.) Then Jefus, endeavouring again to reftrain himself, cometh to the tomb; which was a cave, and the tone was lying against it. (39) Jefus faith: Take away the ftone. Martha, the fifter of the dead man, faith unto him; Mafter, by this time he ftinketh for this is his fourth day. (40.) Jefus faith unto her: Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wilt believe, thou shalt fee the glory of God? (41.) So they took away the ftone from the place, where the dead man was ing, The Mafter is come, and. calleth for thee.. 29. As foon as he heard that, the arofe quickly, and came, unto him. 30. Now Jefus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31. The Jews then which were with her in the houfe, and comforted her, when they faw Mary, that the arofe up hastily and went out, followed her, faying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. 32. Then when Mary was come where Jefus was, and faw him, fhe fell down at his feet, faying unto him, Lord, if thon hadit been here, my brother had not died. 33. When Jefus therefore faw her weeping, and the Jews alfo weeping which came with her, he groaned in the fpirit, and was troubled. 34. And faid, Where have ye laid him? They fay unto him, Lord, come and fee. 35. Jefus wept. 36. Then faid the Jews, behold how he loved him. 37. And fome of them faid Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caufed that even this man fhould not have died? 38. Jefus therefore again. groaning in himself, cometh to the grave: it was a cave, and a ftone lay upon it. 39. Jefus faid, Take away the ftone. Martha, the fifter of him that was dead, faith unto him, Lord, by this time he stink laid. And Jefus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and faid: Father, I thank thee for hearing me: (42.) and I knew, that thou always heareft me; but because of this multitude about me I faid this, that they may believe, that thou haft fent me. (43) And, when he had thus fpoken, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth! (44.) And the dead man came forth, bound hand and foot with burial cloaths; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Je fus faith unto them: Set him free, and let him go. (45.) Upon this many of thofe Jews, who had come to Mary, and faw what Jefus had done, believed on him. (46.) But fome of them went to the Pharifees, and told them what Jefus had done. (47.) Then (47.) Then the chief priests and the Pharifees affembled a council, and faid: What muft we do? for this man is doing many miracles. (48.) If we let him alone thus, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and deftroy both this temple and our nation. (49.) But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was highprieft that year, faid unto them: Are ye fo entirely without underftanding, as not to confider, " 42. And I knew that thou heareft me always: but because of the people which stand by I faid it, that they may believe that thou haft fent me. 43. And when he thus had fpoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. · 44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jefus faith unto them, Loofe him, and let him go. · 45. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had feen the things which Jefus did, believed on him. 46. But fome of them went their ways to the Pharifees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47. Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharifees a council, and faid, Who do we? for this man doeth many miracles. '48. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans hall come and take away both our place and nation. 49. And one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest that fame year, faid unto them, Ye know nothing at all. (50.) that (50.) that it is better for one to die for this people, than for the whole nation to be deftroyed? (51.) (And this he faid not of his own accord, but, being highprief that year, he prophefied, that Jefus would die for that nation (52.) and not for that nation only, but that he might gather together the children of God alfo, which were fcattered abroad, into one place.) (53) So from that day they confulted how they might put Jefus to death. (54) Jefus, therefore, walked no more openly among the Jews but departed thence into a country near the wildernefs, to a city called Ephraim; and continued there with his difciples. (55.) When the paffover of the Jews was at hand, many went up to Jerufalem out of that country before the paffover, to purify themselves. (56.) And the people were feeking Jefus, and faying to each other as they flood in the temple: What think ye? that he will not come to this feftival? (57.) Now both the chief priests and the Pharifees had given orders, that if any one knew where Jesus was, he should difcover him, that they might lay hold on him.' The phrase struggle with his feelings,' is a great departure from fimplicity, and Mr. Wakefield himself seems diffatisfied with it. Kupie and Pa66 are rendered by Teacher and Mafter indifcriminately, for the fake of variety. But there would have been no harm in avoiding this variety, as Mafier (unlefs where School is prefixed) and Teacher have very different meanings in our language. Thefe, however, are fmall blemishes; and there is, upon the whole, much more to commend than difapprove in Mr. Wakefield's tranflation. In the notes, which are very copious, and fhow Mr. Wakefield to be an accomplished Greek scholar, we often encounter a pofitivenefs of opinion, and a petulant fuperiority; which we regret. That Mr. Wakefield, of all men, ought to have preferved a degree of diffidence, may be proved from the following circumstance. About three years ago he published A new Tranflation of those Parts only of the New Teftament, which are wrongly tranflated in our Common Verfion.' Of this pamphlet we gave a favourable account in our Review, Vol. Ixviii. p. 355, et feq. and at the fame time suggested certain improvements, a few of which Mr. Wakefield has adopted in the prefent tranflation; but nothing is so fingular as the very great difference between fome parts of that tranflation and the correfponding parts of the prefent. We shall give a few examples. John xix. 11. Mr. Wakefield in his tranflation 1789, renders unless I had been given up to thee from above"-In the prefent, according to our fuggeftion, he reftores the true meaning unless it had been given thee from above.' In Acts vii. 38, λoyia Carla formerly rendered the oracles of life' are here the doctrines of life'-Mat. vi. 27. is improperly rendered in both; the metaphors are confounded without any reafon; and this is one example of departure from the common tranflation unneceffarily. The following inftances of difference between Mr. Wakefield's two tranflations we fhall place in columns. Tranflation of 1789. Matt. v. 14. Ye are the light of the world. As a city fet on a hill cannot be hid and As men do not light a LAMP, and put it under the bushel, but upon the STAND, that it may fhine to all in the houfe: fo let your light fhine before men. Matt. v. 34. Be not anxious, therefore, about the morrow; for the morrow will be anxious about the things of itfelf. Let each day be fatisfied with its own evil.' Matt. viii. 11. Shall fit down to meat.' 6 Matt. xviii. 1. Which was the greatest.' Mark i. 13. Was tempted by Satan.' Mark xv. 44. If he had indeed died fome time fince." Mark iii. 21. And when his relations heard this, they went out to fecure him: for they faid he is rafh, even to madnefs.' Luke xxi. 25, 26. Diftrefs of nations, perplexed by a noife and motion of the fea; men's hearts failing them through a fearful expectation of thofe things, which are coming on the world.' Luke xxii. 29, 30. And, as my Father hath granted unto me a kingdom, I grant unto you to eat and drink at my table in this my kingdom.' Was tried by Satan.' • If he had been some time. dead.' And when his own family heard of it, they went out to fecure him: for fome had told them, that he was gone out.' • Diftrefs of nations, perplexed by a noise and toffing of the fea: men expiring through a fearful expectation of thofe things that are coming on the world.' And I covenant with you for a kingdom, as my Father covenanted with me: that ye shall eat and drink at my table in my kingdom.' We might multiply inftances of fuch changes of opinion; but the above will anfwer our purpose. Diffidence may juftly be expected from thofe who are given to change.' This work is elegantly printed, but would be much more convenient if the chapters had been numbered at the top of every page. Colony Commerce; or, Reflections on the Commercial Syftem, as it refpects the Weft India Islands, our Continental Colonies, and the United States of America. With fome Remarks on the prefent high Price of Sugar, and the Means of reducing it. By A. C. Brown. 8vo. 2s. Faulder. 1792. SINCE the era in which Rome began to fend her numer ous fons to diftant colonies, colonization has engaged the fpeculations of philofophers, and the more active minds of ftatesmen, without the fubject being elucidated by the theories of the former, or the experience of the latter. In former ages, colonies were chiefly military, to fubdue or preferve the obedience of the natives; in the middle æras, they were directed by avarice, to obtain the more precious metals; and, of late years, they were defigned to monopolife commerce. The views of the ambitious princes were, in fome degree, |
