从心出发-第201章
当初下到埃及的只有少数几家,这时他们却已成为一大群的人了。他们既为拜偶像的恶习所包围,其中很多人就早已失去对真神的认识,也忘记了祂的律法。然而他们中间仍有一些人敬拜……天地的创造主。他们看到自己的儿女天天观看,甚至也参与四邻拜偶像之人的可憎行为,就非常痛心。……这些忠心的人在痛苦中呼求主救他们挣脱埃及人的轭。……[2]{FH 213.2}
从心出发-第201章
Only a few families went down into Egypt, but they had become a great multitude. And being surrounded with idolatry, many had lost the knowledge of the true God and had forgotten His law. Yet there were some among them who still worshipped ... the maker of the heavens and the earth. They were grieved to see their children daily witnessing, and even engaging in, the abominations of the idolatrous people around them.... In their distress the faithful cried unto the Lord for deliverance from the Egyptian yoke....{FH 213.2}[2]

他们没有隐瞒自己的信仰,却在埃及人面前公然承认他们是事奉那独一永生真神的。他们述说那自从创世以来,证明上帝的存在和能力的凭据。埃及人有机会认识希伯来人的信仰和他们的上帝。……[3]{FH 213.3}
从心出发-第201章
They did not conceal their faith but openly acknowledged before the Egyptians that they served the only true and living God. They rehearsed the evidences of His existence and power, from Creation down. The Egyptians thus had an opportunity to become acquainted with the faith of the Hebrews, and their God....{FH 213.3}[3]
从心出发-第201章
以色列的众长老提说上帝向亚伯拉罕所发的应许,以及约瑟临终时所说上帝必拯救他们出埃及的预言,想要藉以鼓舞弟兄们消沉的信心。有一些人愿意听信,另有一些人却只注意到自己悲惨的处境,而不抱任何希望。埃及人对以色列民的指望有所听闻,因而嘲笑他们得救的希望,并出言侮蔑他们上帝的能力。……[4]{FH 213.4}
从心出发-第201章
The elders of Israel endeavored to encourage the sinking faith of their brethren by referring to the promise made to Abraham and the prophetic words of Joseph before his death, foretelling their deliverance from Egypt. Some would listen and believe. Others looked at their own sad condition and would not hope. When the Egyptians learned the expectations of the children of Israel, they derided their hopes of deliverance and spoke scornfully of the power of their God....{FH 213.4}[4]
从心出发-第201章
上帝忠心的仆人们明白:主之所以任由他们下到埃及来,乃是因为他们作为一班子民不忠于上帝,以及他们的任性与其它民族通婚,如此被诱惑去敬拜偶像。……[5]{FH 213.5}
从心出发-第201章
The faithful servants of God understood that it was because of their unfaithfulness to Him as a people and their disposition to intermarry with other nations, thus being led into idolatry, that the Lord had suffered them to go into Egypt....{FH 213.5}[5]
从心出发-第201章
但是有许多希伯来人却宁愿留在奴役之下,不愿到新的地方去,也不愿受那长途跋涉的艰难困苦。他们中有些人的习惯已经变得很象埃及人,以致他们宁愿住在埃及。故此主未曾在初次向法老显示祂的神迹奇事时拯救他们。祂掌管一切的事,要使法老暴虐的心性更充分地发挥出来,同时祂要向祂的百姓彰显祂的大能,令他们急欲离开埃及而选择事奉真实而慈怜的上帝。——《时兆》,1880年3月4日。[6]{FH 213.6}
从心出发-第201章
But many of the Hebrews were content to remain in bondage rather than to go to a new country and meet the difficulties attending such a journey; and the habits of some had become so much like those of the Egyptians that they preferred to dwell in Egypt. Therefore the Lord did not deliver them by the first display of His signs and wonders before Pharaoh. He overruled events to more fully develop the tyrannical spirit of the Egyptian king, and also by manifestations of almighty power to give the Israelites more exalted views of the divine character, that they might be anxious to leave Egypt and choose the service of the true and merciful God.—Signs of the Times, March 4, 1880.{FH 213.6}[6]
