从心出发-第259章
“跟随你的人过多,我不能将米甸人交在他们手中,免得以色列人向我夸大,说:‘是我们自己的手救了我们’”(士7:2)。[1]{FH 271.1}
从心出发-第259章
The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, “My own hand has saved me.”Judges 7:2.{FH 271.1}[1]
从心出发-第259章
基甸因上帝所赐眷爱他的记号而勇气大增,于是他便毫不迟延地帅军前去与米甸人作战。但还有一个严峻的信心考验等着他呢。与入侵的无数大军相比,这三万二千希伯来人看起来就象是一小群,耶和华的话临到他说:“跟随你的人过多,我不能将米甸人交在他们手中,免得以色列人向我夸大,说:‘是我们自己的手救了我们。’现在你要向这些人宣告说:‘凡惧怕胆怯的,可以离开基列山回去’”(士7:2,3)。……[2]{FH 271.2}
从心出发-第259章
Gideon’s courage was greatly strengthened by the tokens of divine favor vouchsafed to him. Without delay he went out with his forces to give battle to the Midianites. But now another severe trial of faith awaited him. With the immense host of invaders spread out before him—the thirty-two thousand of the Hebrews seeming, in contrast, like a mere handful—the word of the Lord came to him, “The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.” ...{FH 271.2}[2]
从心出发-第259章
基甸因为以色列军队的区区之数与仇敌的人数比较起来已经众寡悬殊,所以没有照着平常的习惯宣告以上的话。如今上帝还要说他的人数太多,这就使他不禁大为惊奇。耶和华看出百姓还存有骄傲和不信的心。他们当初听了基甸动人的号召,就愿意前来入伍;但他们一看到米甸人的大军时,许多人就心惊胆寒了。……[3]{FH 271.3}
从心出发-第259章
Because of the weak condition of the armies of Israel in contrast with the numbers of the enemy, Gideon had refrained from making the usual proclamation. He was filled with astonishment at the declaration that his force was too large. But the Lord saw the pride and unbelief existing in the hearts of this people. Aroused by the stirring appeals of Gideon, they had readily enlisted; but when they saw the multitudes of the Midianites, their courage failed....{FH 271.3}[3]
从心出发-第259章
以色列人不但不觉得自己人数太多,反而觉得太少了。但基甸照主所指示的作了宣告。他以沉重忧郁的心情看到……全军有三分之二以上的人离开了。……[4]{FH 271.4}
从心出发-第259章
Instead of being too many, the Israelites felt that their numbers were too few; but Gideon made the proclamation as the Lord had directed. With sinking heart he saw ... more than two thirds of his entire force, depart....{FH 271.4}[4]
从心出发-第259章
耶和华的话又临到祂的仆人说:“人还是过多;你要带他们下到水旁,我好在那里为你试试他们。我指点谁说:‘这人可以同你去’,他就可以同你去;我指点谁说:‘这人不可同你去’,他就不可同你去”(士7:4)。……[5]{FH 271.5}
从心出发-第259章
Again the word of the Lord came to His servant, “The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.” ...{FH 271.5}[5]
从心出发-第259章
有少数的人匆匆忙忙地捧一点水在手中,边走边舔;但几乎全数的人都不慌不忙地跪下喝水。一万人之中只有三百人是用手捧水的。然而只有这三百人蒙选,大部分的人则被遣散回家去了。[6]{FH 271.6}
从心出发-第259章
A few hastily took a little water in the hand and sucked it up as they went on, but nearly all bowed upon their knees and leisurely drank from the surface of the water. Those who took of the water in their hands were but three hundred out of the ten thousand; yet these were selected, and the great body of the army were permitted to return to their homes.{FH 271.6}[6]

人的品格往往是在最简单的事情上受到试验的。……上帝所拣选的,是少数不愿单顾自己需要而放弃本分的人。——《时兆》,1881年6月30日。[7]{FH 271.7}
从心出发-第259章
Here we see the simple means by which character is often tested.... The men of God’s choice were the few who would not permit their own wants to hinder them in the discharge of duty.—Signs of the Times, June 30, 1881.{FH 271.7}[7]
