Hej alle.
Jeg hørte en sang, som jeg rigtig godt kan lide, da den handler om Frelsen, hvilket altid er rart at høre om

- Jeg satte mig ned, for at oversætte den, da jeg tænkte, at jeg måske senere kunne bruge den i en andagt eller lignende.
Da faldt jeg over en smule symbolik, jeg har lidt svært ved at forstå, og efter en del snakken frem og tilbage, med en ven, blev jeg enig med mig selv om, at jeg lige ville høre Jer, på Café Thomas, om der er nogle forslag.
Teksten er sådan:
From the hands it came down
From the side it came down
From the feet it came down
And ran to the ground
Between heaven and hell
A teardrop fell
In the deep crimson dew
The tree of life grew
And the blood gave life
To the branches of the tree
And the blood was the price
That set the captives free
And the numbers that came
Through the fire and the flood
Clung to the tree
And were redeemed by the blood
From the tree streamed a light
That started the fight
'Round the tree grew a vine
On whose fruit I could dine
My old friend Lucifer came
Fought to keep me in chains
But I saw through the tricks
Of six-sixty-six
And the blood gave life
To the branches of the tree
And the blood was the price
That set the captives free
And the numbers that came
Through the fire and the flood
Clung to the tree
And were redeemed by the blood
From his hands it came down
From his side it came down
From his feet it came down
And ran to the ground
And a small inner voice
Said "You do have a choice."
The vine engrafted me
And I clung to the tree
And the blood gave life
To the branches of the tree
And the blood was the price
That set the captives free
And with the numbers that came
Through the fire and the flood
I clung to the tree
And was redeemed by the blood
-"Redemption" af Johnny Cash Mit problem ligger i, at jeg ikke helt forstår hvordan jeg skal forstå "The Vine". For Vine betyder Slyngplante, eller kan oversættes Vintræ, hvilket jo tyder på, at det er et symbol på Jesus. samtidig synes jeg at "Tree of Life" også minder mig om Jesus.
- Min ven og jeg tænkte, at "The Vine", som slyngplante, kunne være et symbol på fristelse og synd, idet der nævnes at man kan spises dets frugt.
Samtidig står der, at han til sidst bliver podet ind i "The Vine" mens han klynger sig til "Tree of Life" - Dét forstår jeg ikke helt.
Vi havde lidt problem med hvorvidt "The small inner voice" skulle forståes, men efter at have læst Johnny Cash's anden selvbiografi tyder alting på, at stemmen er Gud.
Hvis nogen kan hjælpe mig med symbolikken her, ville det være herligt
