奋斗与勇敢-第17章
“亚当共活了九百三十岁就死了”(创5:5)。{CC 22.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. Genesis 5:5. {CC 22.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
亚当的一生乃是饱经忧患,谦卑,和时常痛悔的。他既教导子孙敬畏耶和华,自己也常因他那造成后代如许不幸的罪恶而悲痛自责。当他离开美丽的伊甸园时,他一想到自己必定死,就不禁因恐怖而颤栗了。他认为死亡乃是可怕的灾祸。……他极其悲痛地为自己所犯的首次大罪而责怪自己。他借着所应许的牺牲恳求上帝赦免。他深深地感受到上帝对他在乐园中所犯罪行的忿怒,他亲自目睹那后来引起上帝终于用洪水毁灭地上居民的普遍性的败坏。创造主在他身上所宣布的死刑,当初对他似乎非常可怕,但经过生活数百年之后,他倒认为上帝结束他不幸的人生,反显明是公义而慈怜的了。{CC 22.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
Adam’s life was one of sorrow, humility, and continual repentance. As he taught his children and grandchildren the fear of the Lord, he was often bitterly reproached for the sin which had resulted in so much misery to his posterity. When he left beautiful Eden, the thought that he must die thrilled him with horror. He looked upon death as a dreadful calamity.... Most bitterly did he reproach himself for his first great transgression. He entreated pardon from God through the promised Sacrifice. Deeply had he felt the wrath of God for his crime committed in Paradise. He witnessed the general corruption which finally provoked God to destroy the inhabitants of the earth by a flood. Though the sentence of death pronounced upon him by his Maker at first appeared so terrible to him, yet after he had lived some hundreds of years, it looked just and merciful in God, thus to bring to an end a miserable life. {CC 22.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
亚当在落叶残花上所看到自然界腐化的初步迹象,当时所感到悲哀的深切,较比现代的人悲悼死者更甚。凋谢的花朵因为原是娇柔脆弱的,还不至引起太深的伤感,但高大,崇伟,坚实的树木竟也脱卸它们的叶子而腐烂了;这呈现在他面前的,乃是上帝专为人类福利而创造的佳美大自然的普遍败坏。{CC 22.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
As Adam witnessed the first signs of decay in the falling leaf and in the drooping flowers, he mourned more deeply than men now mourn over their dead. The dying flowers were not so great a cause of grief, because they were more tender and delicate; but when the tall stately trees cast off their leaves to decay, it presented before him the general dissolution of beautiful nature, which God had created for the especial benefit of man. {CC 22.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
亚当向他的子子孙孙,一直到第九代,描述了他伊甸家乡的绝妙美景,和他的堕落及其可怕的后果。……他向他们声明:罪恶不论形式如何,是必定要受到刑罚的。他恳劝他们务要顺从上帝;如果他们爱上帝并且敬畏祂,祂就必以慈怜对待他们。{CC 22.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
To his children, and to their children, to the ninth generation, Adam delineated the perfections of his Eden home; and also his fall and its dreadful results.... He declared to them that sin would be punished, in whatever form it existed; and he entreated them to obey God, who would deal mercifully with them if they should love and fear Him. {CC 22.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
亚当奉命教导他的后裔学习敬畏主,并且藉他的榜样和谦卑的顺从教导他们高度重视那预表一位要来的救主的供物。亚当谨慎地珍存了上帝给他的启示,并且将之传给了他的子子孙孙。认识上帝的知识藉此得以保存下来。(ST.1879.2.6){CC 22.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第17章
Adam was commanded to teach his descendants the fear of the Lord, and, by his example of humble obedience, lead them to highly regard the offerings which typified a Saviour to come. Adam carefully treasured what God had revealed to him, and handed it down by word of mouth to his children and children’s children. By this means the knowledge of God was preserved.24 {CC 22.5}[5]
