得胜的基督-第168章
“但以理却立志不以王的膳和王所饮的酒玷污自己,所以求太监长容他不玷污自己”(但1:8)。{CTr 173.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第168章
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.Daniel 1:8.{CTr 173.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第168章
但以理被掳到巴比伦时还是个小青年。那时他大约十五、六岁。因为他被称为“年少”,他还年青。当遵照王的吩咐有美酒摆在他面前时,他为何不肯喝呢?他知道喝酒喝惯了会成为一件乐事,会比喝水更有吸引力。{CTr 173.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第168章
Daniel was but a youth when carried away captive into Babylon. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, for he is called a child, which means that he was in his youth. Why did Daniel refuse to eat at the king’s luxurious table? Why did he refuse the use of wine as his beverage, when it was at the king’s command that it was placed before him? He knew that, by use, wine would become to him a pleasant thing, and would be preferred before water.{CTr 173.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第168章
但以理本来可以争辩说,既然是在王的餐桌吃饭,又有王的命令,他没有别的路可走。但他和他的同伴一起商量。……他们断定,酒本身是一个网罗。他们熟悉羊皮纸圣经中记载的拿答和亚比户的历史。这两个人越喝酒就越喜欢喝。他们在进入圣所从事神圣的服务前竟然喝了酒。他们的理性昏乱了。他们就不能区别圣火与凡火。他们在麻木的状态中,竟做了上帝吩咐所有履行圣职的人不可以做的事情。……给予百姓的指示被谨慎地保存起来,常常被编成诗歌,教导他们的孩子,让他们能藉着诗歌认识真理。……{CTr 173.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第168章
Daniel could have argued that at the royal table and at the king’s command, there was no other course for him to pursue. But he and his fellows had a council together.... The wine of itself, they decided, was a snare. They were acquainted with the history of Nadab and Abihu that had come to them in parchments. In these men the use of wine had encouraged their love for it. They drank wine before their sacred services in the sanctuary. Their senses were confused. They could not distinguish the difference between the sacred and the common fire. In their brain-benumbed state they did that which the Lord had charged all who served in holy office not to do....{CTr 173.3}[3]

这些年轻的俘虏考虑的第二个问题是王在用餐前总是要祈求福气并称他的偶像为神。……按照他们的宗教教导,这个举动已把全部饮食都献给了异教神。但以理和他的三个弟兄认为,坐在实行这种偶像崇拜的餐桌旁,会羞辱天上的上帝。……{CTr 173.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第168章
The instruction given to the people was carefully treasured up, and often composed into song and taught to their children, that through song they might become familiar with the truths....{CTr 173.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第168章
这个决定涉及许多事情。他们的身份是奴隶,却因为他们明显的智慧和清秀脱俗的仪态而得到特别的恩宠。然而他们认为任何的伪装,甚至坐王的桌子旁领受饮食,即便没有饮用,也是对他们宗教信仰的违犯。……他们并非蓄意特立独行,但他们必须这么作,否则他们会在巴比伦的宫廷中被腐化,并在饮食时暴露于一切的试探之中。败坏的影响力会让他们放松警惕,从而羞辱了上帝,败坏了自己的品格。(Manuscript 1897.122){CTr 173.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第168章
A second consideration of these youthful captives was that the king always asked a blessing before his meals, and addressed his idols as deity.... This act, according to their religious instruction, consecrated the whole to the heathen god. To sit at the table where such idolatry was practiced, Daniel and his three brethren deemed, would be a dishonor to the God of heaven....{CTr 173.5}[5]
