Abraham’s Failure of Faith Can Serve as a Warning to Us, March 16
得胜的基督-第77章
“亚伯拉罕清早起来,拿饼和一皮袋水,给了夏甲,搭在她的肩上,又把孩子交给她,打发她走”(创21:14)。{CTr 82.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第77章
And Abraham ... took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away.Genesis 21:14.{CTr 82.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第77章
亚伯拉罕已经毫无疑问地接受了上帝赐他一个儿子的应许,但他并没有等待上帝照祂自己的时候,用祂自己的方法来实现祂的应许。上帝故意的耽延了一下,为要考验他对上帝权能的信心;可惜他竟不能忍受这个试验。撒拉以为自己年纪老迈,不能生育,所以建议亚伯拉罕娶她的一个婢女为妾,这样就可以成全上帝的计划了。当时,多妻之风盛行,人皆不以娶妾为有罪,其实这正是违反了上帝的律法,有损于家庭的神圣与和睦。亚伯拉罕与夏甲的婚姻,结果不但使他自己的家庭受害,也使后世的人受到了影响。……{CTr 82.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第77章
Abraham had accepted without question the promise of a son, but he did not wait for God to fulfill His word in His own time and way. A delay was permitted, to test his faith in the power of God; but he failed to endure the trial. Thinking it impossible that a child should be given her in her old age, Sarah suggested, as a plan by which the divine purpose might be fulfilled, that one of her handmaidens should be taken by Abraham as a secondary wife. Polygamy had become so widespread that it had ceased to be regarded as a sin, but it was no less a violation of the law of God, and was fatal to the sacredness and peace of the family relation....{CTr 82.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第77章
他娶夏甲原是出于撒拉的敦促,如今撒拉到把过错推到亚伯拉罕身上。撒拉想要把夏甲驱逐出去,但是亚伯拉罕不肯;因为夏甲将要生子,就是他多年希望的应许之子。……“撒莱苦待她,她就从撒莱面前逃走了”(见创16:6-13)。{CTr 82.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第77章
Though it was at Sarah’s earnest entreaty that he had married Hagar, she now reproached him as the one at fault. She desired to banish her rival; but Abraham refused to permit this; for Hagar was to be the mother of his child, as he fondly hoped, the son of promise.... “When Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.”{CTr 82.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第77章
夏甲逃往旷野。当她孤苦令仃,无亲无友地在一个水泉旁边休息的时候,有耶和华的一个天使装成人的样式向她显现。……并吩咐她说:“你回到你主母那里,服在她手下。”然而在责备之外,天使又加上了安慰的话说:“耶和华听见了你的苦情。”“我必使你的后裔极其繁多,甚至不可胜数。”他又吩咐她,给她的儿子起名叫以实玛利,就是“上帝听见”的意思,使她常纪念上帝的恩典。{CTr 82.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第77章
She made her way to the desert, and as she rested beside a fountain, lonely and friendless, an angel of the Lord, in human form, appeared to her.... He bade her, “Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.” ... As a perpetual reminder of His mercy, she was bidden to call her child Ishmael, “God shall hear.”{CTr 82.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第77章
当亚伯拉罕将近一百岁的时候,上帝向他重申赐给他一个儿子的应许,而且声明撒拉所生的儿子才是将来承受产业的后嗣。可是亚伯拉罕还没有明白这应许的意义。……{CTr 82.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第77章
When Abraham was nearly one hundred years old, the promise of a son was repeated to him, with the assurance that the future heir should be the child of Sarah. But Abraham did not yet understand the promise....{CTr 82.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第77章
以撒的出世,使亚伯拉罕和撒拉的帐棚充满了喜乐,因为他们最大的希望,经过一生的等待,这才实现。但这事在夏甲看来,却正打消了她野心的奢望。这时以实玛利已是一个少年,全家的人都已看他是承受亚伯拉罕财富的后嗣,和上帝应许给亚伯拉罕子孙种种福分的承受人。如今他忽然被置于一边;于是母子二人在失望之余,就仇恨撒拉所生的儿子。……{CTr 82.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第77章
The birth of Isaac, bringing, after a lifelong waiting, the fulfillment of their dearest hopes, filled the tents of Abraham and Sarah with gladness. But to Hagar this event was the overthrow of her fondly cherished ambitions. Ishmael, now a youth, had been regarded by all in the encampment as the heir of Abraham’s wealth and the inheritor of the blessings promised to his descendants. Now he was suddenly set aside; and in their disappointment, mother and son hated the child of Sarah....{CTr 82.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第77章
大家的欢乐,更增加了他们的嫉妒,直到以实玛利胆敢公然侮辱上帝所应许的后嗣。撒拉看出以实玛利的这种暴躁的性情必致家中时常失和,于是她要求亚伯拉罕务必把夏甲和以实玛利从家中赶出去。……{CTr 82.7}[7]
得胜的基督-第77章
The general rejoicing increased their jealousy, until Ishmael dared openly to mock the heir of God’s promise. Sarah saw in Ishmael’s turbulent disposition a perpetual source of discord, and she appealed to Abraham, urging that Hagar and Ishmael be sent away from the encampment....{CTr 82.7}[7]
得胜的基督-第77章
上帝所给予亚伯拉罕这有关婚姻关系之神圣性的指示,乃是给世世代代的一个教训。(PP.145-147){CTr 82.8}[8]
得胜的基督-第77章
The instruction given to Abraham touching the sacredness of the marriage relation was to be a lesson for all ages.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 145-147.{CTr 82.8}[8]
