十一月九日约基别对摩西的影响

Jochebed’s Influence on Moses, November 9

“摩西因着信，长大了就不肯称为法老女儿之子。他宁可和上帝的百姓同受苦害，也不愿暂时享受罪中之乐”（来11:24,25）。{RC327.1}

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Hebrews 11:24, 25. {RC 327.1}

摩西离开他幼年家庭的护庇时，比约瑟或但以理还要小。但塑造他们人生的能力，也陶冶了摩西的人生。他与希伯来同胞只一起生活了十二年，但这些年却奠定了他伟大的基础。这是由一位默默无闻之人的手所奠定的。RC327.2}

Younger than Joseph or Daniel was Moses when removed from the sheltering care of his childhood home; yet already the same agencies that shaped their lives had molded his. Only twelve years did he spend with his Hebrew kindred; but during these years was laid the foundation of his greatness; it was laid by the hand of one little known to fame. {RC 327.2}

约基别是作奴隶的女人。她的命运卑微，负担沉重，但是除了拿撒勒的马利亚之外，没有其他女子得到比她更大的福分。她知道她的孩子不久就要离开自己的养育，而接受不认识上帝之人的监护，就更加认真地尽力使孩子的心与上天相联。她设法把敬爱和效忠上帝的观念栽培在他的心中。这个任务她忠实地完成了。后来的影响都不能使摩西放弃他母亲所言传身教的真理原则。{RC327.3}

Jochebed was a woman and a slave. Her lot in life was humble, her burden heavy. But through no other woman, save Mary of Nazareth, has the world received greater blessing. Knowing that her child must soon pass beyond her care, to the guardianship of those who knew not God, she the more earnestly endeavored to link his soul with heaven. She sought to implant in his heart love and loyalty to God. And faithfully was the work accomplished. Those principles of truth that were the burden of his mother’s teaching and the lesson of her life, no after influence could induce Moses to renounce. {RC 327.3}

约基别的儿子离开歌珊简陋的家，来到法老的王宫，转入埃及国公主的手中，成为她疼爱的养子。摩西在埃及的学校中获得了政治和军事的最高训练。他个人的魅力，英俊的仪表与身材，高雅的心智和王子的身份，以及他作为军事领袖的盛名，使他成了举国引以为荣的人物。埃及国王也是祭司的一员。摩西虽然拒绝参加异教的崇拜，但他了解埃及宗教的一切秘密。{RC327.4}

From the humble home in Goshen the son of Jochebed passed to the palace of the Pharaohs, to the Egyptian princess, by her to be welcomed as a loved and cherished son. In the schools of Egypt, Moses received the highest civil and military training. Of great personal attractions, noble in form and stature, of cultivated mind and princely bearing, and renowned as military leader, he became the nation’s pride. The king of Egypt was also a member of the priesthood; and Moses, though refusing to participate in the heathen worship, was initiated into all the mysteries of the Egyptian religion. {RC 327.4}

埃及当时仍是世界上最强大最文明的国家，摩西既是埃及未来的君主，就继承了世界所能提供的最高尊荣。但摩西作出了更高尚的选择。摩西为了尊荣上帝，拯救祂那饱受蹂躏的子民，牺牲了埃及的荣华富贵。上帝就对他进行了特殊的训练。{RC327.5}

Egypt at this time being still the most powerful and most highly civilized of nations, Moses, as its prospective sovereign, was heir to the highest honors this world could bestow. But his was a nobler choice. For the honor of God and the deliverance of His downtrodden people, Moses sacrificed the honors of Egypt. Then, in a special sense, God undertook his training.... {RC 327.5}

摩西尚未为他一生的工作做好准备。他当时还没有学好依靠上帝能力的教训，也误解了上帝的旨意。他希望用武力解救以色列民。为此他不惜铤而走险，结果遭到了失败。在失败和灰心之余，他只得流亡飘泊到异乡。{RC327.6}

He had yet to learn the lesson of dependence upon divine power.... In the wilds of Midian, Moses spent forty years as a keeper of sheep.... In the care of the sheep and the tender lambs he must obtain the experience that would make him a faithful, long-suffering shepherd to Israel.... {RC 327.6}

摩西在米甸的旷野作了四十年的牧羊人。……他必须从看守羊群和爱护小羊中获得经验，以便成为以色列人忠心忍耐的牧人。为了作上帝的代表，他必须学习祂的样式。{RC327.7}

Amidst the solemn majesty of the mountain solitudes, Moses was alone with God.... Here his self-sufficiency was swept away.—Education, 61-63. {RC 327.7}

摩西在庄严肃静的山间单独与上帝同在。……在这里，他的一切自恃都扫除净尽了。……（Ed61-63.）{RC327.8}埃及的伟大现已湮没，其权势和文明已成为过去，但摩西的功业却永垂不朽。他一生所立的伟大公义原则，是万古长存的。（Ed69）{RC327.9}

The greatness of Egypt is in the dust.... But the work of Moses can never perish. The great principles of righteousness which he lived to establish are eternal.—Education, 69. {RC 327.8}
