Daniel’s Commitment to God, September 24
从心出发-第267章
“他忠心办事,毫无错误过失”(但6:4)。[1]{FH 279.1}
从心出发-第267章
He was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.Daniel 6:4.{FH 279.1}[1]
从心出发-第267章
当大流士为他国家的各省设立一百二十位总督,并在他们之上设立三位总长,让总督在他们三人面前回复事务时,我们读到:“因这但以理有美好的灵性,所以显然超乎其余的总长和总督,王又想立他治理通国”(但6:3)。但恶天使们深恐他对王和国务有美善的影响,便怂恿总督和总长们忌恨他。这些恶人严密监视但以理,想找到他的把柄报告给王;但他们没有成功。“因他忠心办事,毫无错误过失”(但6:4)。[2]{FH 279.2}
从心出发-第267章
When Darius set over the provinces of his kingdom a hundred and twenty princes, and over these, three presidents to whom the princes were to give account, we read that “Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.” But evil angels, fearing the influence of this good man over the king and in the affairs of the kingdom, stirred up the presidents and princes to envy. These wicked men watched Daniel closely, that they might find some fault in him which they could report to the king; but they failed. “He was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.”{FH 279.2}[2]
从心出发-第267章
于是撒但就试图让但以理对上帝的忠心成为除掉他的缘由。总督和总长们聚集来见王,说:“国中的总长、钦差、总督、谋士,和巡抚彼此商议,要立一条坚定的禁令,三十日内,不拘何人,若在王以外,或向神或向人求什么,就必扔在狮子坑中”(但6:7)。王的骄傲受到了奉承。他既不知总督们针对但以理的险恶用意,就同意了他们的要求。禁令盖了玉玺,成了玛代波斯国不可更改的一条律法。[3]{FH 279.3}
从心出发-第267章
Then Satan sought to make Daniel’s faithfulness to God the cause of his destruction. The presidents and princes came tumultuously together unto the king, and said, “All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.” The king’s pride was flattered. He was ignorant of the mischief purposed against Daniel, and he granted their request. The decree was signed and became one of the unalterable laws of the Medes and Persians.{FH 279.3}[3]
从心出发-第267章
这些心怀忌妒的人相信但以理必忠于上帝,毫不犹豫地坚持原则,他们对他品格的估计是没有错误的。但以理知道与上帝交通的价值。他虽十分清楚王的禁令,仍一日三次跪下祷告,“他楼上的窗户开向耶路撒冷”(但6:10)。他不试图遮掩自己的行为,虽然他很清楚忠于上帝的后果。他看到了路上的危险,但他的脚步毫不犹豫。他在那些设谋陷害他的人面前,绝不显出他与上帝之间的联系有丝毫断绝的迹象。……[4]{FH 279.4}
从心出发-第267章
These envious men did not believe that Daniel would be untrue to his God or that he would falter in his firm adherence to principle, and they were not mistaken in their estimate of his character. Daniel knew the value of communion with God. With full knowledge of the king’s decree, he still bowed in prayer three times a day, “his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem.” He did not seek to conceal his act, although he knew full well the consequences of his fidelity to God. He saw the dangers that beset his path, but his steps faltered not. Before those who were plotting his ruin, he would not allow even the appearance that his connection with Heaven was severed....{FH 279.4}[4]

他知道谁也无权,连王也无权介入他的良心和他的上帝中间,干涉他对他的创造主所献上的敬拜。——《时兆》,1886年11月4日。[5]{FH 279.5}
从心出发-第267章
He knew that no man, not even his king, had a right to come between his conscience and his God and interfere with the worship due to his Maker.—Signs of the Times, November 4, 1886.{FH 279.5}[5]
