Chapter 10—Satan, a Mighty Foe
告青年书-第13章
堕落的人类是撒但合法的俘虏。耶稣基督的使命就是要把人类从撒但的权下拯救出来。人的本性倾向于附从撒但的主张。如果没有大能的胜利者基督住在他的心中,引导他的意愿,赐给他能力,他无法靠自己抗拒这样可怕的仇敌。惟有上帝能抑制撒但的权势。撒但正在地上走来走去,往返而来。他没有片时放松警惕,惟恐错过一个毁灭人类的机会。上帝的子民必须充分认识到这一点,以致避开他的罗网。{MYP 51.1}[1]
告青年书-第13章
Fallen man is Satan’s lawful captive. The mission of Jesus Christ was to rescue him from his power. Man is naturally inclined to follow Satan’s suggestions, and he cannot of himself successfully resist so terrible a foe, unless Christ, the mighty conqueror, dwells in him, guiding his desires, and giving him strength. God alone can limit the power of Satan. He is going to and fro in the earth, and walking up and down in it. He is not off his watch for a single moment, through fear of losing an opportunity to destroy souls. It is important that God’s people understand this, that they may escape his snares.{MYP 51.1}[1]

【撒但的伪装】
撒但正在准备种种的骗局,要在与上帝的子民作最后一战时,让他们认不出他的面目来。《哥林多后书》11章14节说:“这也不足为怪;因为连撒但也装作光明的天使。”正当一些上了当的人宣称撒但并不存在的时候,撒但却俘虏了他们,并充分利用他们。撒但比上帝的子民更清楚,他们依靠基督的大能,就能够战胜他。{MYP 51.2}[2]
告青年书-第13章
【Satan in Disguise】
Satan is preparing his deceptions that in his last campaign against the people of God, they may not understand that it is he.2 Corinthians 11:14: “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” While some deceived souls are advocating that he does not exist, he is taking them captive, and is working through them to a great extent. Satan knows better than God’s people the power that they can have over him, when their strength is in Christ.{MYP 51.2}[2]
告青年书-第13章
即使是最软弱的真理信徒,如果谦卑地向那位大能的胜利者求助,坚定地信赖基督,也能有效地击退撒但和他的全军。撒但十分狡猾。他不会明目张胆地试探人,因为这样作会使基督徒迟钝的活力被激发起来,转而依靠那位大能的拯救者。所以撒但用不易觉察的伪装手段,通过自命敬虔的悖逆之子进行工作。撒但要全力以赴地骚扰,试探和误导上帝的子民。{MYP 51.3}[3]
告青年书-第13章
When they humbly entreat the mighty Conqueror for help, the weakest believers in the truth, relying firmly upon Christ, can successfully repulse Satan and all his host. He is too cunning to come openly,boldly, with his temptations, for then the drowsy energies of the Christian would arouse, and he would rely upon the strong and mighty Deliverer. But Satan comes in unperceived, and in disguise he works through the children of disobedience, who profess godliness. Satan will go to the extent of his power to harass, tempt, and mislead God’s people.{MYP 51.3}[3]
告青年书-第13章
撒但既敢对抗,试探和侮辱我们的主,又有能力把祂带到殿顶和极高的山上去,他也必对现今世代的人施展其狡猾的伎俩。这些人在智力远远比不上他们的主,对于撒但的诡计和能力又几乎一无所知。{MYP 52.1}[4]
告青年书-第13章
He who dared to face, and tempt, and taunt our Lord, and who had power to take Him in his arms and carry Him to a pinnacle of the temple, and up into an exceeding high mountain, will exercise his power to a wonderful degree upon the present generation, who are far inferior in wisdom to their Lord, and who are almost wholly ignorant of Satan’s subtlety and strength.{MYP 52.1}[4]
告青年书-第13章
撒但用巧妙的手段影响那些生来倾向于听他话的人。他因自己被当作一个虚构的人物而沾沾自喜。当人们忽视他,幼稚地解说他,或把他当作一个畜生时,就正中他的下怀。人如果把他想象得十分卑贱,就会对他精心布置的阴谋毫无戒备,而他就几乎能无往而不胜了。但人们如果识破了他的能力和狡计,就必有所防范而有效地去抵抗他了。……{MYP 52.2}[5]
告青年书-第13章
In a marvelous manner will he affect the bodies of those who are naturally inclined to do his bidding. Satan exults for his own sake that he is regarded as a fiction. When he is made light of, and is represented by some childish illustration, or as some animal, it suits him well. He is thought so inferior that minds are wholly unprepared for his wisely laid plans, and he almost always succeeds well. If his power and subtlety were understood, minds would be prepared to successfully resist him....{MYP 52.2}[5]
告青年书-第13章
【为争夺每一个灵魂而战】
我看到恶天使正在争夺人的灵魂。上帝的使者在抵制着他们。战斗进行的非常剧烈的。恶天使包围着人类,用他们恶毒的影响败坏周围的空气,麻痹人的感觉。圣天使正在焦虑地看着这些人,等着去驱散撒但的兵旅。可是善天使并不能违背人的意愿去控制他的思想。他们如果屈从仇敌,不努力抗拒他,上帝的使者就只能做到遏制撒但的军兵,不容他们进行毁灭,直等这些处在危险中的人得到进一步的光照,觉醒起来仰望上天的帮助。耶稣不会派圣天使去解救那些不努力自助的人。{MYP 52.3}[6]
告青年书-第13章
【The Battle for Each Soul】
I saw evil angels contending for souls, and angels of God resisting them. The conflict was severe. Evil angels were crowding about them, corrupting the atmosphere with their poisonous influence, and stupefying their sensibilities. Holy angels?were anxiously watching these souls, and were waiting to drive back Satan’s host. But it is not the work of good angels to control minds against the will of the individuals. If they yield to the enemy, and make no effort to resist him, then the angels of God can do but little more than hold in check the host of Satan, that they should not destroy, until further light be given to those in peril, to move them to arouse and look to heaven for help. Jesus will not commission holy angels to extricate those who make no effort to help themselves.{MYP 52.3}[6]
告青年书-第13章
撒但如果发现他有失去一个人的危险,就会竭尽全力来留住他。当这个人意识到自己的危险,痛苦而热切地求耶稣赐能力时,撒但就担心会失去这个囚虏。他增派他的使者来包围那个可怜的人,在他四周筑起一道黑墙,使天上的亮光不能照到他身上。但那处在危险中的人如果坚持不懈,在软弱和无助中投靠基督宝血的功劳,耶稣就必垂听出于信心的恳求,差遣大能的天使去增援解救他。{MYP 53.1}[7]
告青年书-第13章
If Satan sees he is in danger of losing one soul, he will exert himself to the utmost to keep that one. And when the individual is aroused to his danger, and, with distress and fervor, looks to Jesus for strength, Satan fears he shall lose a captive, and he calls a re-enforcement of his angels to hedge in the poor soul, and form a wall of darkness around him, that heaven’s light may not reach him. But if the one in danger perseveres, and in helplessness and weakness casts himself upon the merits of the blood of Christ, Jesus listens to the earnest prayer of faith, and sends a reinforcement of those angels which excel in strength to deliver him.{MYP 53.1}[7]
告青年书-第13章
撒但在大能的对手面前必支持不住,因为他要在主的权能与威严面前恐惧战兢。在恳切的祈祷声中,撒但的全军战惊不已。……当大能的天使,穿着天庭的军装,前来援救在绝境中即将倒下的人时,撒但及其军兵就会退走。他们知道自己已经失败了。——《评论与通讯》1862年5月13日{MYP 53.2}[8]
告青年书-第13章
Satan cannot endure to have his powerful rival appealed to, for he fears and trembles before His [Christ’s] strength and majesty. At the sound of fervent prayer, Satan’s whole host trembles.... And when angels, all-powerful, clothed with the armory of heaven, come to the help of the fainting, pursued soul, Satan and his host fall back, well knowing that their battle is lost.—The Review and Herald, May 13, 1862.{MYP 53.2}[8]
