慈悲

Some modern exponents of Adventism define sin as breaking a relationship, and love as so forgiving and tender that it can tolerate disobedience.

复临教会中对罪的定义有了一些现代的解释，认为罪是破坏了一种关系；并且认为爱是如此慈悲与温柔，以至可以容忍不顺从。

June 28. Having been somewhat refresh'd with the Sleep I had had, and the Fit being entirely off, I got up; and tho' the Fright and Terror of my Dream was very great, yet I consider'd, that the Fit of the Ague wou'd return again the next Day, and now was my Time to get something to refresh and support my self when I should be ill; and the first Thing I did, I fill'd a large square Case Bottle with Water, and set it upon my Table, in Reach of my Bed; and to take off the chill or aguish Disposition of the Water, I put about a Quarter of a Pint of Rum into it, and mix'd them together; then I got me a Piece of the Goat's Flesh, and broil'd it on the Coals, but could eat very little; I walk'd about, but was very weak, and withal very sad and heavy-hearted in the Sense of my miserable Condition; dreading the Return of my Distemper the next Day; at Night I made my Supper of three of the Turtle's Eggs, which I roasted in the Ashes, and eat, as we call it, in the Shell; and this was the first Bit of Meat I had ever ask'd God's Blessing to, even as I cou'd remember, in my whole Life.

这些我在故事一开始就提到了。父亲说，我如果执意采取这种愚蠢的行动，那么，上帝一定不会保佑我。当我将来呼援无门时，我会后悔自己没有听从他的忠告。这时，我大声说，现在，父亲的话果然应验了：上帝已经惩罚了我，谁也不能来救我，谁也不能来听我的呼救了。我拒绝了上天的好意，上天原本对我十分慈悲，把我安排在一个优裕的生活环境中，让我幸福舒适地过日子。可是，我自己却身在福中不知福，又不听父母的话来认识这种福份。我使父母为我的愚蠢行为而痛心，而现在，我自己也为我的愚蠢行为所带来的后果而痛心。本来，父母可以帮助我成家立业，过上舒适的生活；然而，我却拒绝了他们的帮助。现在，我不得不在艰难困苦中挣扎，困难之大，连大自然本身都难以忍受。而且，我孤独无援，没有人安慰我，也没有人照应我，也没有人忠告我。想到这里，我又大喊大叫："上帝啊，救救我吧！我已走投无路了啊！"多少年来，我第一次发出了祈祷，如果这也可算是祈祷的话。现在，让我重新回到日记上来吧。

His energy was powerful yet compassionate and all-knowing.

他的能量是强有力的更是慈悲的和熟悉的。

Of Lincoln Island, the settlers knew thoroughly all the eastern coastfrom Claw Cape to the Mandible Capes, the extensive Tadorn Marsh, theneighborhood of Lake Grant, Jacamar Wood, between the road to the corraland the Mercy, the courses of the Mercy and Red Creek, and lastly, thespurs of Mount Franklin, among which the corral had been established.

在林肯岛上，居民们彻底了解的地方有：从爪角到颚骨角之间整个的东海岸，宽阔的潦凫沼地，格兰特湖的周围，畜栏路和慈悲河之间的啄木鸟林，慈悲河流域和红河流域，最后，还有富兰克林山的支脉——建立畜栏的那个地方。

With these Reflections I work'd my Mind up, not only to Resignation to the Will of God in the present Disposition of my Circumstances; but even to a sincere Thankfulness for my Condition, and that I who was yet a living Man, ought not to complain, seeing I had not the due Punishment of my Sins; that I enjoy'd so many Mercies which I had no reason to have expected in that Place; that I ought never more to repine at my Condition but to rejoyce, and to give daily Thanks for that daily Bread, which nothing but a Croud of Wonders could have brought.

反省使我更坚定了对上帝的信念。我不但心平气和地接受了上帝对我当前处境的安排，甚至对现状怀着衷心的感激之情。我竟然没有受到惩罚而至今还活着，我不应该再有任何抱怨。我得到了许许多多的慈悲，而这些慈悲我是完全不应该期望能获得的。我绝不应该对自己的境遇感到不满，而是应该感到心满意足；我应该感谢每天有面包吃，因为我能有面包吃，完全是一系列的奇迹造成的。

Stephen's answer (Acts 7) was a long recital of the mercies of God towards Israel during its long history and of the ungratefulness by which, throughout, Israel repaid these mercies.

南开诺布说，许多心灵修行途径都有一些关於慈悲或利益他人的基础规范或准则，以大乘佛教传统来讲，慈悲更是修行的基础，伴随对万法空性的了解。

For my part,I wish the house was turned upsidedown;'tis so difficultto go upstairs;and not only so,but I imagine hope andfaith may be more firmly built upon charity,thancharity upon faith and hope.

在我看来，我倒希望房子翻个个，因为上楼梯太难了，不仅如此，我想还因为希望与忠诚较之于慈悲建立在忠诚与希望之上是更为牢固地建立在慈悲之上。

You are to understand,then,that faith,hope,and charity have been called the three steps of Jacob's ladder,reachingfrom earth to heaven;our author calls them stories,likening religion to a building, and theseare the three stories of the Christian edifice.

不过，你知道人们一直把忠诚、希望和慈悲称作雅各天梯的三级台阶，从地球伸向天堂；我们的作者把宗教比喻成楼房，于是把三级台阶称之为三层楼，而忠诚、希望和慈悲就是基督教圣殿的三层楼。
