奋斗与勇敢-第37章
(创11:1-9)
“他们说:来吧,我们要建造一座城,和一座塔,塔顶通天,为要传扬我们的名,免得我们分散在全地上”(创11:4)。{CC 42.1}[1]

Genesis 11:1-9[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第37章
洪水之后的一段时期中,挪亚和他的儿孙仍旧住在方舟所停留的群山之间。后来他们人数增加,不久就因背道而引起了分裂。那些要忘记创造主并要摆脱祂律法约束的人,觉得他们敬畏上帝之同伴的教训和榜样乃是一种经常的烦扰;所以过不久就决定离开敬拜上帝的人。因此,他们就迁移到幼发拉底河两岸的示拿平原去。……他们决意在这里建一座城,城内造一座极高的塔,使它成为世界的奇观。……{CC 42.2}[2]

Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4, R.S.V. {CC 42.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第37章
示拿平原上的居民不相信上帝所立的约,就是祂不再用洪水淹没世界的应许。他们中间有许多人不承认有上帝,而把洪水归诸自然的原因。其他的人则相信有上帝,并相信那曾经毁灭洪水以前世界的就是祂。但是他们心中就像该隐一样,起了背叛上帝的意念。他们造塔的一个目的就是一旦再有洪水来到,他们的安全就有了保障。他们把这座塔建筑得比洪水所曾达到的水位还要高出许多。他们认为这样就可以避免一切可能的危险。并且他们借此能升到云彩里去,希望探出洪水的原因。……{CC 42.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第37章
For a time the descendants of Noah continued to dwell among the mountains where the ark had rested. As their numbers increased, apostasy soon led to division. Those who desired to forget their Creator and to cast off the restraint of His law felt a constant annoyance from the teaching and example of their God-fearing associates, and after a time they decided to separate from the worshipers of God. Accordingly they journeyed to the plain of Shinar, on the banks of the river Euphrates.... Here they decided to build a city, and in it a tower of such stupendous height as should render it the wonder of the world.... {CC 42.2}[3]

现今也有不少造塔的人。不信上帝的人根据科学的假定建立他们的学说,并拒绝上帝所启示的圣言。……在基督教界,有许多人离弃了圣经清楚的教训,而根据世人的臆测和虚空的妄言建立了一种信条;并以他们所建造的高塔为通天的道路。……{CC 42.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第37章
The dwellers on the plain of Shinar disbelieved God’s covenant that He would not again bring a flood upon the earth. Many of them denied the existence of God and attributed the Flood to the operation of natural causes. Others believed in a Supreme Being, and that it was He who had destroyed the antediluvian world; and their hearts, like that of Cain, rose up in rebellion against Him. One object before them in the erection of the tower was to secure their own safety in case of another deluge. By carrying the structure to a much greater height than was reached by the waters of the Flood, they thought to place themselves beyond all possibility of danger. And as they would be able to ascend to the region of the clouds, they hoped to ascertain the cause of the Flood.... {CC 42.3}[4]

上帝审判的时候近了。至高者必要降临,要看看世人所建造的是什么。祂至高的权能必要显现;骄傲人的狂妄必要止息。(PP118-124){CC 42.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第37章
There are tower builders in our time. Infidels construct their theories from the supposed deductions of science, and reject the revealed word of God.... In the professedly Christian world many turn away from the plain teachings of the Bible and build up a creed from human speculations and pleasing fables, and they point to their tower as a way to climb up to heaven.... {CC 42.4}[5]
