Lindsay was so excited! Mother had just called from the doctor's office:"Lindsay, " she said, "We're going to have a new baby in the family!" Lindsay thought of all the people she wanted to tell:her friend Amy next door, her grandmother, and her teacher at school!
小林翠这会儿真是好兴奋!妈妈刚从医院打回电话回来, “林翠,” 她说,“我们家里又要添一个小宝宝了。”林翠真想把这个消息告诉她认识的每一个人:她的朋友,住在隔壁的艾米,奶奶,还有学校的老师!
In our Bible lesson today there was also a new baby, it was a boy! But shhh! Mother Jochebed and Father Amram are not telling ANYONE about their new baby son! And shhh! Big sister Miriam and brother Aaron were not allowed to tell either.
在我们今天的圣经故事里,也有一个刚出生的孩子,是一个男孩子。SHHHH,妈妈约基别和爸爸暗兰可是没有告诉任何人他们有了一个新出生的小宝宝。还有,SHHHH,他们也不允许大姐姐米利暗和大哥哥亚伦把这个消息告诉任何人。
Why not?Because this was a Hebrew family and the King of Egypt had ordered that when a Hebrew baby was born, if it were a girl, it could live; but if it were a boy, it was to be thrown into the Nile River to drown! Why would the King make such a wicked rule?After all, if it hadn't been for a Hebrew man named Joseph, and if it hadn't been for the God of the Hebrews, there wouldn't even BE an Egypt, for God had used the Hebrews to save Egypt from starvation. But this new king did not remember Joseph, nor did he care about the Hebrews' God, Who is the true and living God Who created all things.
这是为什么呢?原来呀,他们是一个希伯来人的家庭。埃及的国王已经下了命令,当一个希伯来人的孩子出生的时候,如果是一个女孩子,就可以活;但如果这是一个男孩子,他就要被扔进尼罗河淹死。为什么国王下了这样一条歹毒的命令呢?如果不是一个叫约瑟的希伯来人,如果不是希伯来人所信的这位神,埃及就已经不存在了。因为神使用希伯来人使埃及渡过了饥荒。可是,这个新的埃及国王不知道约瑟,也不在乎希伯来人所信的这位创造了宇宙万有的真神活神。
This new king had one big worry:He felt there were getting to be TOO MANY Hebrews, and that they were much stronger than the Egyptians. He said to his people, "Suppose we have a war and those Hebrews decide to fight against us! We've got to do something to cut down their population and cut back their power."
有一件事使这位新的埃及国王大大担心:他担心希伯来人会越来越多,他们会比埃及人强盛。于是,国王对他的百姓说:“如果有一天,我们需要去打仗,那些希伯来人弄不好会反过来攻击我们。所以我们得想办法减少他们的人口,使他们不能强盛起来。”
The king's plan was to make the Hebrew people work very hard as slaves, carrying heavy loads of stone and building treasure cities for himself. But a strange thing happened! The harder the Egyptians made the Hebrews work, the more they afflicted them.why, the more they grew! Finally, the king, or Pharoah as Egyptian kings were called, said to his people:"Every Hebrew girl that is born, let it live; but every Hebrew boy that is born, throw him in the Nile River to drown!"
国王的计划是让希伯来人像奴隶一样做苦工,搬运重石头,为国王建造存放财宝的城堡。可是,一件奇怪的事情发生了!埃及人越是苦待希伯来人,希伯来人就越使埃及人苦恼。这是为什么呢?原来,希伯来人是越来越多。最后,埃及国王(又叫法老)对他的百姓说:“希伯来人所生的女孩,可以让她活;但是如果是男孩,他就要被扔进尼罗河里淹死。”
Link:What a wicked, sinful heart Pharoah had to want to murder a little baby! You and I would never do that, would we?To kill a baby before it is born, after it is born, when it grows to be a child like you, or a grown-up like me.it is all the same to God.
法老的心真是凶狠恶毒,他竟然连小小的孩子都要杀害。你和我从来不会作那样的事,对不对?对神来说,不管是没出生的孩子,还是刚刚出生的婴儿,不管是长得像你一样高的小朋友,还是像我这样的大人,在神眼里,都是一样宝贵的生命。
It is murder and it is a terrible sin. Is it going to surprise you when I say to you that you and I have sinful hearts too?Even though we would never murder a precious baby, yet the Bible says, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:who can know it?
夺取这个生命就是谋杀,是一个可怕的罪。如果我说,我和你的心肠都是罪恶的,那么你会不会觉得奇怪呢?虽然我们从不会杀死一个可爱的孩子,可是圣经上说:人心比万事都诡诈,坏到极处,谁能识透呢?
Jeremiah l7:9. Sometimes we think we are good because we see how bad other people are, but God sees that all our hearts are sinful. When you lie, disobey your parents, or say or do hurtful things to others, that is sin. And it is sin that keeps us away from God and His family. But God's loving plan for you is that you become part of His family and enjoy Heaven forever with Him! He has filled Heaven with wonderful things to make you happy forever. And He has made a way for you to have your sins forgiven and be in Heaven.
(耶利米17:9)。 有时,当我们看到别人有多坏时,我们会认为自己很好。但神看我们的心都是有罪的。当你说谎,不听父母的话,甚至说话,做事伤害到别人的时候,那就是罪。正是罪使我们与神和神的家隔开。但是神为了你设计的美好计划是让你成为神家里的一员,与神一起永远享受天堂的美好。他使天上充满了各样极其美好的事物来让你享受。他已经为你预备了一条路,使你的罪可以被赦免,使你可以去天堂。#p#分页标题#e#
Do you remember that we have talked about the Lord Jesus Christ?As the perfect Son of God, He is the One Who carried out God's plan for your sin to be forgiven. Jesus took your punishment by suffering and dying on a wooden cross many years ago. When He was dying, He was not only giving His blood as a payment for your sin, but also suffering great pain for your sin. 。
你还记得我们已经谈到过主耶稣基督吗?作为神无暇疵的儿子,正是他实现了神的计划,使你的罪可以被赦免。 在很多年以前,耶受死在十字架上,为你承担了罪的惩罚。当他死的时候,他不但流血赎了你的罪,他还为了你的罪受尽了痛苦。
After Jesus died, He was buried, came alive in 3 days and then went back to Heaven to be with God. He is alive in Heaven today and ready to forgive sin, no matter how wicked or sinful our hearts may be. It is sad that Pharoah did not care about God's forgiveness for his wicked, sinful heart. He was ordering that all the Hebrew boy babies be killed. That is why the family in our lesson today had to hide their new baby boy, and keep him a secret from everyone!
在耶稣死后,他被埋葬,又在第三天复活。然后,他回到天上,和神在一起。今天他就在天上活着,随时可以原谅我们的罪,不管我们的心有多么邪恶。可是,埃及的法老并不在乎神愿意饶恕他的恶毒心肠,这真是令人难过!他还命令杀死所有的希伯来男孩。这就是为什么在我们今天的圣经故事里,那个希伯来人的家庭得把他们刚刚出生的男孩藏起来,不能让任何人知道。
Day after day they hid him. It must've been hard, for babies cry loud, don't they?Do you suppose Mother Jochebed and Father Amram worried a lot?"What if an Egyptian neighbor comes by and hears the baby cry?" "What if brother Aaron forgets and tells some of his friends about his baby brother?" "What if the baby gets sick and needs a doctor?" There could have been a lot of "what if's" to worry about, but the Bible tells us that this Hebrew family hid their baby "by faith." That means they trusted God to take care of him. Jochebed and Amram were trusting God to take care of their baby boy.
他们藏了他一天又一天。这真是一件很不容易的事。因为婴儿的哭声很大,是不是?他的妈妈约基别和爸爸暗兰一定好担心。 “如果一个埃及人的邻居经过,听见孩子的哭声怎么办?”“如果哥哥亚伦忘记了保守秘密,去告诉他的小朋友他家里有一个刚出生的小弟弟,怎么办?”“如果孩子生病,需要看医生,怎么办?”可能会有许多“如果,如果”来让他们担心。 但是圣经告诉我们,这个希伯来人的家庭是凭着信心把这个孩子藏起来,也就是说他们相信神会看顾他们的孩子。 妈妈约基别和爸爸暗兰相信神会看顾他们的孩子。
After 3 months, the Bible says they could no longer hide him. But they were still trusting God, even as Jochebed took a big basket and put pitch or tar on it to make it waterproof. Tenderly she wrapped her healthy little boy and placed him in the basket. She and Miriam took him quietly down to the Nile River and put the basket afloat in the Nile River, wedged and hidden in some tall reeds by the bank of the river. Big sister Miriam was left to watch and see what would happen.
三个月以后,圣经告诉我们他们不能再藏了。但他们仍然信靠神!妈妈约基别拿了一个大箱子,抹上石漆和石油使它不会透水。然后她十分小心的把这个看起来满健康的男孩包起来,放到箱子里。然后她和大姐姐米利暗悄悄地拿着箱子来到尼罗河边,把箱子搁在河边的芦荻中让它漂在河上。而大姐姐米利暗被留下来多待一会儿,要知道他究竟会怎样。
And she didn't have to wait long! She heard women talking and laughing, and peeping out from her place, Miriam saw, oh no! Not the princess of Egypt! Yes, she was lovely, but she was the daughter of the Pharoah who had made the rule to murder the Hebrew boy babies! Oh, how Miriam hoped she wouldn't see, but no! She DID see, in fact, she ordered her maid to go get that basket out of the reeds.
她刚等了一会儿,就听见有女孩子的说话声和笑声。她从藏身的地方向外一瞥,欧,不!怎么会是埃及的公主!当然,她很可爱,可是,她是埃及法老的女儿。正是法老命令杀死所有刚出生的希伯来男孩。米利暗多么希望她所看见的不是真的。欧,不!她所看见的是真真确确的。 而且埃及的公主让她的使女把箱子从芦荻中拿出来。
Shall we hold our breath with Miriam as the princess opens the basket and stares down at Miriam's darling baby brother! Oh, no the poor darling baby began to cry. Miriam heard the princess say, "Oh, this is one of the Hebrew baby boys!" The princess knew that baby was Hebrew, and she also knew her father's commandment! But God touched the heart of the princess, and she not only had compassion for that little fellow but adopted him as her own son! Then God put on Miriam's heart just the right thing to do.
当公主打开箱子,看着米利暗那可爱的小弟弟,我们真是要和米利暗一起屏住呼吸了。欧,这个可怜的小弟弟开始哭起来。米利暗听见公主说:这是个希伯来人的孩子。公主知道这个孩子是个希伯来人,她当然也知道她父亲的命令。可是,神感动了公主的心,使她不但可怜这个希伯来人的孩子,她还收养了这个孩子做她的儿子。然后神在大姐姐米利暗的心里催促她去做一件事情。
She went to the princess boldly and said, "Shall I go and call a Hebrew mother to help you care for this child?" The princess said, "Go." And Miriam went! She went straight to her own mother ! Quickly Jochebed went to meet the princess. How amazed she was to hear the princess say, "Take this child away and nurse him for me. I will pay you to take care of him." Oh, what a wonderful God we have, children! We can trust Him to take care of us! MTS:Have you been fretting or worrying about things?#p#分页标题#e#
米利暗勇敢地来到公主面前,对她说:“我去在希伯来妇人中叫一个奶妈来,为你照看这个孩子,好不好?”公主说:“去吧”。米利暗就去了。她直接回到她自己的家。妈妈约基别 赶快去见公主。当她听见公主说的话真是惊讶极了。 公主说:“你把这个孩子抱去,替我喂养他。我会给你工钱的。”噢,我们的神多好啊,孩子们。我们实在是可以相信神会照顾我们的。那么,你有没有为什么事情焦虑发愁呢?
There are many dangers, many hard things in this world, even for children like you. But if you have believed in the Lord Jesus and asked Him to save you from your sin, you are His child. Take your worries to Him in prayer. Trust Him to take care of you! Remember that sometimes God takes the problem away from you. And at other times, God will take you away from the problem. Still there are times when your wise, loving Heavenly Father will take you right through the problem. No matter how God works, trust Him to take care of you in the very best way!
在这个世界上有许多危险,许多困难,甚至小孩子也会遭遇到这样的事。如果你已经相信主耶稣,并让他来把你从罪中拯救出来,那你就是他的孩子。带着你的烦恼到他面前去祷告,相信他会看顾你。记住,有时神会把困难从你那里拿开;但有时,神也会把你从困难当中拿出来。还有的时候,那位有智慧又慈爱的天父会带领你经过困难,因为当他带领你经过难处的时候,他有重要的功课让你学习。不管神怎样做,你要相信他会以最好的方式看顾你。
Jochebed walked home with her baby boy in her arms! She did not have to hide him now, and she would be paid to take care of her own son! Surely she and her family praised God together for His wonderful care of their son. They enjoyed every minute of the years they had together, and I'm sure Jochebed taught this little boy about the true and living God. When he was probably between 3 and 5 years old, Jochebed knew it was time to take him to the princess.
妈妈约基别知道神会看顾她的孩子。她抱着孩子走回家。她现在再也不需要把他藏起来了。而且她照看自己的孩子还得到工钱。她和她的一家都赞美感谢神,因为他奇妙地看顾了他们的孩子。他们一家享受那些年在一起的每一个时刻。我相信妈妈约基别一定告诉她的孩子关与这位又真又活的神。当他大约三至五岁的时候,约基别知道是要把他带到公主那里去的时候了。埃及的公主把他带到埃及的王宫中,而且是在埃及国王的王宫里。
The princess took him and named him Moses, which means "drawn out." Why do you think she named him that?Yes, because she drew him out of the water. No doubt Jochebed was sad to leave her little son at the palace, but she knew very well she could trust God to continue to care for little Moses.
公主给他起名叫摩西,意思说:从水里拉出来。为什么叫这个名字呢?对,因为是公主把他从水里拉出来的。约基别一定觉得很难过,因为要把她的儿子留在王宫里,但是她深深知道,当小摩西被藏在家中那三个月里,神保护了他;当小摩西躺在箱子里漂在尼罗河上的时候,神看顾了他。约基别完全可以相信神会继续看顾她的儿子小摩西。

It is a bright spring morning. A Tortoise walks by and meets a Rabbit.
Tortoise: Hi there, Mr. Rabbit. Beautiful day, isn’t it?
Rabbit: Aren’t you “the Slow Tortoise”?
The Tortoise is a little mad, but he doesn’t show it. The Tortoise still tries to be nice to the Rabbit.
Tortoise: Yes, I’m Mr. Tortoise. I’m happy to meet you. Let’s be friends.
Rabbit: No, thank you. I don’t want to be your friend.
Tortoise: How come?
Rabbit: Your legs are too short. You can’t jump. And you are too slow.
Tortoise: My legs may be short. And I may be slow. But I can still beat you in a race.
Rabbit: Ha!Ha!Ha! That’s funny! How can you beat me? I am much faster.
Tortoise: I can beat you for sure.
Rabbit: No, you can’t!
Tortoise: Yes, I can!
Rabbit: No, you can’t!
Tortoise: Yes, I can! Let’s have a race now. Then you’ll see.
Rabbit: Now? Okay! Why not? I will win for sure.
Tortoise: Let’s make a bet. If I win, you must carry me on your back.
Rabbit: I promise. But if I win, you must carry me.
Tortoise: Fine.
The other animals in the forest hear about the race and gather to see the Tortoise and the Rabbit run. The race is about to start.
Tortoise: See the mountain top?
Rabbit: Yes.
Tortoise: The first one to reach there, wins. Okay?
Rabbit: Okay.
The Fox is the starter.
Fox: Stand behind this line. Are you both ready?
Tortoise: Yes
Rabbit: Me too.
Fox: Okay. I’ll start the race. One! Two! Three! Go!
The Fox drops the white handkerchief and the race starts.The Rabbit is very fast and is already way ahead. The tortoise walks very slowly. The other animals are all cheering for the Tortoise. The Fox is worried about the Tortoise.
Fox: Poor Mr. Tortoise. He will lose for sure.
Goat: How do you know? Maybe he will win.
The Rabbit is already half way up the mountain. He is out of breath. He stops to look behind.
Rabbit: Where is the Tortoise? I can’t even see him. He is too slow for me. This is too easy.
The Rabbit decides to take a nap before the Tortoise comes.
Rabbit: I am a little tired. And I have a lot of time. So, I will take a nap here.
The Rabbit takes a nap. Even though the Tortoise is still far behind, he doesn’t stop or give up. He just walks and walks and walks.
Tortoise: I am tired, but I must go on. I must win the race. One, two. One, two.
The Rabbit falls asleep and continues to sleep for hours. The Tortoise is now at the middle of the mountain. He sees the Rabbit sleeping.
Tortoise: It’s Mr. Rabbit! Why is he sleeping here? He must be very tired. I am tired, too. But I must go on. One, two. One, two.
The mountain top is not too far away. The Tortoise is almost at the finish line. All the other animals are surprised.
Goat: Look! It’s the Tortoise!
Fox: Where’s the Rabbit?
Goat: Who knows? Come on, Mr. Tortoise! Go! Go! Go!
The tortoise takes one step, and another step, and another.
Tortoise: One, two. One, two. I’m almost there.
Just then, the Rabbit wakes up from his nap and is surprised. He realizes that he has slept too long. He sees the Tortoise near the mountain top. He runs, and runs, and runs, but it’s no use.
Rabbit: Faster! Faster! I must run faster!
Finally, the Tortoise reaches the mountain top first and wins the race.
Goat: Hooray! Hooray for Mr. Tortoise!
Fox: Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise! You won the race!
Tortoise: Thank you, thank you, everyone!
The Rabbit is too late. He feels ashamed.
Rabbit: Oh, no! I lost. Now I have to carry the Tortoise on my back.
The Rabbit goes to shake hands with the Tortoise.
Rabbit: Good race. Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise. You won the race.
Tortoise: I told you, I would win.
Rabbit: But how did you do it?
Tortoise: It wasn’t too hard. Just take one step after another. It may be slow, but you will get there for sure.
Rabbit: Oh…Now, I will keep my promise. Climb up on my back.
Tortoise: That’s okay. Let’s just be friends.

《圣经》是亚伯拉罕诸教(包括基督新教、天主教、东正教、犹太教等宗教)的宗教经典。今天读文网小编为大家整理了一些圣经里最美的英文句子,一起来看看吧!
1、"生命在他里头,这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里,黑暗却不接受光。"(《新约·约翰福音》第1章)
What has come into being in him was life, and the lifewas the light of all people. The light shines in thedarkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. "John 1-4,5"
这是是____神学思想的核心。这里的"光"指的是耶稣基督,"生命"指的是永生--战胜死亡,获得真理。
2、"你们要进窄门,因为引到灭亡,那门是宽的,路是大的,进去的人也多;引到永生,那门是窄的,路是小的,找着的人也少。"(《新约·马太福音》第7 章)
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads todestruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard thatleads to life, and there are few wh o find it. "Matthew 7-13,14"
这是耶稣"登山宝训"中最短的一段,但却是整个新教精神的核心。对于清教徒而言,人生就意味着无尽艰险,就意味着走窄门。
3、" 爱是恒久忍耐,又有恩慈;爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不张狂,不作害羞的事,不求自己的益处,不轻易发怒,不计算人的恶,不喜欢不义,只喜欢真理;凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐;爱是永不止息。"(《新约·哥林多前书》第1 3章)
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious pr boastful or arroga nt or rude. It does notinsist on its own way; it is not irritable or re sentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, butrejoices in the truth. I t bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never end s.
____是"爱的宗教",这就是使徒保罗对爱的诠释。从古到今不知有多少人因这段话而皈依基督____见"爱是无可比的"。
4、"死啊,你得胜的权势在哪里?死啊,你的毒钩在哪里?死的毒钩就是罪,罪的权势就是律法。感谢上帝,使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。"(《新约·哥林多前书》第15章)
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The stin g of death is sin, and.The power of sin is the law. But thanks be to Go d, who gives us the victory through our LordJesus Christ.
使徒保罗用优美的语言阐明了____的脉络:原罪与堕落,牺牲与救赎,胜利与永生。总体说来就是"用爱战胜死亡"。
5、"草必枯干,花必凋残,因为耶和华的气吹在其上;百姓诚然是草。草必枯干,花必凋残;惟有我们上帝的话,必永远立定!"(《旧约·以赛亚书》第40 章)
The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows u pon it; surely thepeople are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades ; but the word of our God will standforever.
旧约的最大特点是"信念"。这句话就是无比坚定的信念,既是相信上帝,又是相信作为上帝选民的自己。以色列人的辉煌,大半缘自信念。
6、"我知道我的救赎主活着,末了必站在地上。我这皮肉灭绝之后,我必在肉体之外得见上帝。"(《旧约·约伯记》第19章)
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand up on the earth; and aftermy skin has been thus destroyed, then in my fles h I shall see God.
这是约伯的信念。无论承受多么巨大的打击、多么绝望的境遇,都不可放弃希望、放弃信仰。亨德尔为此句作的咏叹调也极为感人。
7、 "不可封了这书上的预言,因为日期近了。不义的,叫他仍旧不义;污秽的,叫他仍旧污秽;为义的,叫他仍旧为义;圣洁的,叫他仍旧圣洁。"(《新约·启示录》第22章)
Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is n ear. Let the evildoerstill do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still beholy.
我最开始就是看了《启示录》才倾向于____的。《启示录》中有很多让人不能不动容的话,这句只是其中代表而已。
8、"谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢?难道是患难吗?是困苦吗?是逼迫吗?是饥饿吗?是赤身露体吗?是危险吗?是刀剑吗?……然而,靠着爱我们的主,在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。"(《新约·罗马书》第8章)
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress , or persecution, orfamine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in al l these things we are more than conquerorsthrough him who loved us.
圣保罗真是无与伦比的传道者,他的讲道是如此气势磅礴且发人深省。这段话继承了旧约的信心,增加了新约的爱,完美地体现了____精神。
9、"我又专心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧,乃知这也是捕风。因为多有智慧,就多有愁烦;加增知识的,就加增忧伤。"(《旧约·传道书》第1章)
And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I pe rceived that thisalso is but a chasing after wind. For in much wisdom i s much vexation, and those whoincrease knowledge increase sorrow.
《传道书》是旧约中我最喜欢的篇章之一,传道者的话虽低沉消极,却又蕴涵着希望。能够用来战胜愁烦和忧伤的,只有一件事:"信仰"。
10、"哈利路亚!因为主我们的上帝,全能者作王了。……世上的国成了我主和主基督的国;他要作王,直到永永远远。……万王之王,万主之主。" (《启示录》第11、19章)
Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. The kingdom of the world has become thekingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he wil l reign forever and ever.
这也是亨德尔歌剧《弥赛亚》中大合唱《哈利路亚》的歌词,它是至今唯一能让我多次热泪盈眶的歌曲。从这短短的几句话中我们可以看到无穷的胜利喜悦。欢呼吧!因为胜利属于我们。

I was happy once the Passover started because I like the Passover a lot. I was sad and scaredwhen the Passover ended because just as it ended, the news came that Assyrian army wasinvading Israel. At least it wasn’t Judah that Assyria was attacking. But I was still scaredbecause I heard from our own spies that Assyria was planning a attack on Judah right after theycaptured Israel. I was almost scared to death by the thought of being invaded.
每次过逾越节我都很高兴,我个人是非常喜欢这个节日,但是这次却是个例外。刚过完这节日没多久,我就听到了一个令人沮丧的消息。北边大国亚述的军队入侵了以色列国。虽然说他们没有继续进攻犹大国,但我还是心里忍不住担心受怕,因为据我们的情报人员报告说:亚述人打算成功占据以色列后,犹大国就成了他们的下一个猎物目标。我现在一思想这样的情景就有点害怕。
Sennacherib had captured Israel all to himself and he was ready to capture Judah. Hezekiah,our king decided to act first by blocking off springs of water out of the fortified city.
亚述王西拿基立轻而易举地攻占了以色列国。他下一步计划很明确就是攻打犹大国。我们犹大国的希西家王决定先发制人截断亚述军队设防城市的水源。
“Why should they come here finding lots of fresh water to drink?” Hezekiah said. He thengathered his army for the defence of the cities in Judah. I decided to volunteer for the army. Iwas an officer from the beginning.
“亚述王来,为何让他得着许多水喝呢?”希西家问道。接着他就集聚,许多人塞了一切泉源,并通流国中的小河。让他的军队肩负起保护犹大国的责任。我深受鼓舞,也决定参军去保卫祖国。要知道我一开始就给一个小军官当呢。
Hezekiah also built another wall in front of the first wall of Jerusalem. He reinforced thesupporting landforms that guarded Jerusalem like the hills outside of Jerusalem. Our king alsomade large quantities of shields and weapons.
希西家王下令在耶路撒冷原来的围墙外再加固一堵墙。他力图自强,修筑好所有被毁坏的城墙。所建的新墙皆与城楼相齐,又在城外又筑一城。制造了许多军器、盾牌。
“We should be strong and courageous,” He said to the army officers. “Just like Joshua was when he was leading the Israelites. We should not be discouraged by the large army that Sennacherib has prepared for the siege of Judah.” He added. “Most importantly, God will be with us in the battle and we do not have to be afraid.”
“我们应该勇敢的保卫自己的国家,就像当年耶和华带领着以色列人那样。虽然亚述王西拿基立已经做好充分的准备来侵略我们的国家,但我们也不应该感到害怕。”希西家王对他的那些军官们说道。紧接着,他又加了一句:“最重要的是,上帝永远与我们同在。你们当刚强壮胆,不要因亚述王和跟随他的大军恐惧惊慌,因为与我们同在的,比与他们同在的更大!与他们同在的是肉臂,与我们同在的是耶和华我们的神!他必帮助我们,为我们争战。”百姓就靠犹大王希西家的话,安然无惧了。
Sennacherib and all his forces were going to siege Lachish. He also sent his officers to Jerusalem with a message for Hezekiah.
那个时候亚述王西拿基立正在集中火力进攻拉吉 ,但他还是派臣仆来见希西家王并带来口信。
“This is what Sennacherib, our master says: How are you going to find your own confidence that you remain in your homes under siege?” The messengers said. “When you say God will save us, he is misleading you and going to let you die of hunger and thirst. Did you not know what happened to all the other nations?” They mocked. “Were the gods of those nations able to stop them from my hand? No, so how can your God save you from my hand?” Sennacherib’s officers then kept on speaking against the Lord our God and against our King Hezekiah.
臣仆说:“我们亚述王西拿基立说的原话如下:当我们亚述的军队兵临你们城下时,你有何信心保卫你自己的国家呢?”臣仆接着说:“当你们说上帝会来拯救你们时,要知道这是在误导你们,你们的神最终将会让你死于兵荒马乱。你知道其他那些国家的惨状吗?当我们大肆杀戮他们的军队和民众时,你们的上帝在哪里呢?祂怎么不出面来阻止我们的杀戳行动呢?现在,你们又怎么能指望祂来拯救你们呢?”亚述王西拿基立的那个臣仆不仅冷嘲热讽,还说了些对上帝和希西家王极不尊敬的话。
They also wrote letters insulting our God. The commanders of Sennacherib’s army called out to our people in Hebrew.
亚述王西拿基立还写信辱骂我们的上帝,还把犹太居民集中在一起,用希伯来语念这封信。
“The God of Jerusalem will fall like the other Gods of the other people in the world, the work of men’s hands.” When Hezekiah heard the words, he and Isaiah, the prophet, burst into tears and cried out to the Lord in heaven about the matter. The Lord answered sending a angel and he killed all the fighting men, leaders and officers of the army of Assyria in the camp. Sennacherib went back home terrified. As he was praying to his own gods, two of his own sons killed him and ran away. The Lord and Hezekiah are now highly regarded by all nations!
“耶路撒冷的神将和世界上其他地方的那些神那样,面对我们强大的亚述军队都将束手无策。”当希西家王听到这番话后,他和亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚因此流泪祷告,向天上的父神呼求。耶和华神就差遣一个使者进入亚述王营中,把所有大能的勇士和官长、将帅尽都灭了。亚述王西拿基立吓得急忙逃回了自己的国家,当他正在他自己神的庙中向假神祈祷时,他亲生的两个儿子却在那里杀了他。正因如此,耶和华神和希西家王都受到整个国家人民的崇敬与爱戴。

The Bible says that once when the Lord Jesus was here on earth, He was looking at a crowd of people walking around in the wilderness. Do you think Jesus saw them as rich and poor, old and young, sick and well, pretty or ugly, smart or dumb?
圣经里说当主耶稣在世上的时候, 有一次, 他看到许多的人在旷野里走, 他并没有把他们分成穷人, 富人, 老人, 年轻人, 生病的, 健康的, 好看的, 难看的, 聪明的, 或者是笨的。
No. The Bible says Jesus had compassion on them for He saw them as sheep without a shepherd. They were like lost sheep, lost in their sin. How the Lord Jesus loved them! He knew they were helpless and needed a shepherd. And the Good Shepherd knew He had come to help them. But not just the people way back then. For the Lord Jesus knows all about you, and loves you too, and wants to help you!
圣经里说主耶稣就怜悯他们, 因为他们如同羊没有牧人一般。他们就象迷失的羊, 迷失在他们的罪里。主耶稣好爱他们!他知道他们需要一个牧人来帮助他们。主耶稣这位好牧人知道他来的目的就是要帮助他们。不仅仅是那个时候的人, 主耶稣也认识你, 也一样爱你, 而且也愿意来帮助你。
John 10:11 tells how the Lord Jesus helps us."I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep." John 10:11. Let's read it together now. We know the good shepherd means Jesus. Let's say his name where it says ?the good shepherd." JESUS is the good shepherd. JESUS gives his life for the sheep. And who are the sheep?Yes! Us! Jesus was really saying, "I will take YOUR punishment for sin. And that means I will die in your place." Even though Jesus proved He was the Good Shepherd by His love for people, still some in that very crowd hated Him.
约翰福音10章11节讲到主耶稣要怎样帮助我们, 他说:"我是好牧人, 好牧人为羊舍命。"我们知道好牧人就是耶稣。所以这句话可以这样说:"耶稣是好牧人, 耶稣为羊舍命。"那羊是谁呢?对!就是我们!耶稣实际在说:"我为你承担对罪的惩罚, 我要代替你死, "虽然耶稣对人的爱证明他就是好牧人, 但是在那群人中还是有人恨他。
They did not believe He was the Son of God, even though they saw the wonderful miracles He did, and heard His wonderful words. They did not want to follow the Lord Jesus, and kept on going their own way."Why do you listen to Him?" they asked the rest of the crowd. Do you know what some of them did?John 10:31, 39 tells us:"Then the Jews took up stones?to stone him.?" " they tried again to take him:but he escaped out of their hand." Later, however, they arrested the Lord Jesus and brought Him to trial.
他们不相信他就是神的儿子, 虽然他们已经看到了他所行的神绩, 听见他所说的话。他们还是不想跟随耶稣, 只想走他们自己的路。他们对别的人说:"你们为什么要听他的呢?"你知道吗?约翰福音10章31, 39节告诉我们:"犹太人又拿起石头来要打他。"他们又要拿他, 他却逃出他们的手走了。"后来, 他们还是把耶稣抓起来审判他。
Do you think Jesus' enemies gave Him a fair trial?When Pilate, the Roman governor, questioned Jesus, he could find no fault in Him. Why couldn't he?Because Jesus is the perfect Son of God, and He had done nothing wrong. Evil men came as false witnesses to lie to Pilate. Although Jesus knew they were lying, He did not open His mouth to defend Himself. The angry people shouted out, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" Finally Pilate was persuaded to let the crowd have their way, and they led Jesus out to crucify Him. Do you think Jesus could have stopped all this?
你觉得那些恨耶稣的人会公平地审判他吗?当罗马的巡府彼拉多审问耶稣的时候, 他找不到耶稣有什么罪。为什么呢?因为耶稣是神完美的儿子, 他从来没有犯过罪。但是有恶人到彼拉多面前来做假见证。虽然耶稣知道他们在说谎, 但他并没有为自己辩解。愤怒的人群喊叫著说:"钉他十字架!钉他十字架!"最后彼拉多向这些人屈服, 把耶稣带出去钉十字架。主耶稣能够阻止他们吗?
After all, He is the Son of God Who has the power to do ANYTHING. Yes, and Let's just read how Jesus used His power. John 10:17-18 tells us:"" my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and have power to take it again." It was the power of love Jesus was showing now.
当然!因为他是神的儿子, 他是无所不能的。让我们看看耶稣有怎样的权能。约翰福音10章17-18节说:"我父爱我, 因我将命舍去, 好再取回来。没有人夺我的命去, 是我自己舍的。我有权柄舍了, 也有权柄取回来, 这是我从我父所受的命令。"耶稣所表现的是爱的能力。
Soldiers took the Lord Jesus to a hill called Mount Calvary to crucify Him. To die by crucifixion meant they nailed the Lord Jesus by His hands and feet to a rough wooden cross. It was a slow and very painful death to die. There was a crowd gathered ?round to watch His death. Most were enemies of the Lord Jesus and in Matthew 27:40-42 we read that they cried out, "If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. The chief priests mocked him, with the scribes and elders, saying, "He saved others; but he cannot save himself.
士兵们把主耶稣带到加略山去钉十字架。钉十字架是非常残酷的刑罚。他们把耶稣的手和脚钉在粗糟的木制十字架上。被钉的人要经历长久的痛苦才会慢慢死去。很多人围著看他死。很多是恨耶稣的人。马太福音27章40-42节讲到, 这些人说:"你如果是神的儿子, 就从十字架上下来吧!"祭司长和文士并长老也是这样戏弄他, 说:"他救了别人, 不能救自己。
If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him." They didn't understand, did they, boys and girls, that Jesus was not trying to save Himself. He was willing to die to save you and me. Let's say our Bible verse again, John 10:11. Jesus used His power to stay on that cross. He knew the blood that came from His head, His hands and His feet would be the payment for your sin. Leviticus 17:11 says, ?" for it is the blood that makes an atonement (or payment) for your souls."
他是以色列的王, 现在可以从十字架上下来, 我们就信他。"小朋友们, 这些人实在是不懂, 耶稣并没有要救他自己。他情愿用他的死来拯救我们。让我们再说一遍今天的圣经经节:约翰福音10章11节:"我是好牧人, 好牧人为羊舍命。"耶稣没有从十字架上下来。他知道从他额头, 他的手和脚所流出的血将成为为我们赎罪的代价。利未记17章11节说:"我把这血赐给你们, 可以…为你们的生命赎罪。"
Finally Jesus cried out, "It is finished!" and He gave up His life. The Good Shepherd had given His life for you and me. Later friends came and took Jesus' body down from the cross and buried Him in a rich man's burial place, called a sepulchre, or tomb. It was a cave-like place, and instead of a door, a big stone was rolled in front of the opening.
最后, 耶稣说:"成了!" , 就把他的生命舍了。这位好牧人为你为我舍了生命。后来, 耶稣的朋友来把他的身体从十字架上取下来, 埋葬在一个有钱人的坟墓里。这个坟墓就象一个洞穴, 它没有门, 而是滚一块大石头挡在门口。
Jesus' enemies again went to Pilate. In Matthew (27:63; 20:19) we read their words to Pilate:"Sir, we remember that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, "After three days I will rise again." Command that the tomb be guarded until the third day, because his disciples may try to come by night and steal his body and tell all the people that he is risen from the dead." Was Jesus a deceiver?Was he lying when He said, "I have the power to lay down my life and I have the power to take it again?" We will see! Pilate sent guards to watch the tomb day and night.
那些恨耶稣的人又去到罗马的巡府彼拉多那里。在马太福音(27:63;20:19), 我们读到他们对彼拉多说:"大人, 我们记得那诱惑人的还活著的时候, 曾说:'三日后我要复活'。因此, 请吩咐人将坟墓把守妥当, 直到第三日, 恐怕他的门徒来把他偷了去, 就告诉百姓说:'他从死里复活了。'"耶稣真的是诱惑人的吗?
Did they have the power to keep Jesus from coming back to life?Perhaps everyone thought they did, but the Bible says very early on the 3rd day there was a great earthquake, and a mighty angel came from Heaven and rolled the stone away from the door of the tomb. There was no one in the tomb!! Jesus was risen from the dead! The frightened soldiers ran into the city to tell the news. Jesus WAS alive, for He DID have the power to come back to life! 40 days later the Lord Jesus went back to Heaven, to His special place of honor at the right hand of God. He is still the Good Shepherd!
当他说:"我有权柄[将生命]舍了, 也有权柄取回来。"他是在骗人吗?让我们接著看。彼拉多派人日夜看守坟墓。他们能使耶稣不复活吗?也许他们这样认为。但圣经说第三天的一大清早, 有一个大地震, 有天使从天上下来, 把石头从坟墓门口滚开。坟墓是空的, 耶稣已经从死里复活了。看守的人吓得浑身乱战, 赶快跑到城里去报告。耶稣复活了, 因为他有权柄将生命取回来。40天后, 耶稣回到天上, 坐在神的右边。他仍然是我们的好牧人。
If you have received the Lord Jesus as your Savior, He is your Good Shepherd! He has saved you from your sin and He is caring for you every day. One day you will be with Him in Heaven
如果你已经相信主耶稣, 他就是你的好牧人。他把你从罪中拯救出来, 并每天看顾你。有一天, 你将要在天上和他永远在一起。
But maybe you never knew you needed Jesus to be your Shepherd. You are that sheep that is still lost and going his own way, far away from God. Without the Lord Jesus, you will be lost forever in your sin, never able to be with God in Heaven. Jesus came to give His life to save you from that sin. I Corinthians 15:3 says, "Christ died for our sin." The Lord Jesus is alive in Heaven now, waiting to save you from sin, waiting to become YOUR Good Shepherd.
也许你从来不知道你需要耶稣做你的好牧人。你就象一只迷失的羊, 远离神而走自己的路。没有耶稣, 你就永远失丧在罪中, 不能到天上与神在一起。耶稣来, 把命舍了, 就是要把你从罪中拯救出来。哥林多前书15章3节说:"基督为我们的罪死了。"主耶稣现在在天上活著, 他正等待著把你从罪中拯救出来, 并成为你的好牧人。
omans 10:9 says, "If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Like a little lost sheep, you can call out to Jesus and ask Him to save you right now. Will you go right now to ?How to Be a Child of God?" If you have believed on the Lord Jesus and asked Him to save you, He is already yourGood Shepherd forever!
罗马书10章9节说:"你若口里认耶稣为主, 心里信神叫他从死里复活, 就必得救。"就象一只迷失的羊羔, 你可以对耶稣说话, 让他现在就来拯救你。请你现在就去听:"怎样成为神的孩子" , 并照那里所说的去做。如果你已经相信主耶稣, 并让他来拯救你, 他就早已经成为你的好牧人到永远。
Jesus says in John 10:27-28:"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Let's remember that wonderful truth by using our hand. Open your hand out wide. Think of this hand as being the Lord Jesus' hand. The thumb can be you. Now bend your thumb toward the middle of your hand, and close all the other fingers over it. Think of how you are SAFE FOREVER in the hand of your Good Shepherd. Can anyone remove you from the hand of Jesus' No!
耶稣在约翰福音10章27-28节说:"我的羊听我的声音, 我也认识他们, 他们也跟著我;我又赐给他们永生, 他们永不灭亡, 谁也不能从我手里把他们夺去。"让我们来用手记住这个真理。把手张开, 想象这就是主耶稣的手。大拇指就是你。现在把拇指握在手心, 把手纂起来。在好牧人的手中, 你是多么地安全。谁能把你从耶稣的手中抢走呢?没有人!
But now open your other hand out wide. Imagine your OTHER hand is God the Father. Now place your other hand over the first one as you listen to this verse from John 10:29:"My Father, which gave them to me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." You're in Jesus' hand and the Father's! You are double safe FOREVER! Can Satan pull you out of those wonderful hands?When you are afraid, or feel lonely, when others make fun of you as a Christian, remember Jesus' promise. He also says in Hebrews 13:5 "I will never leave thee."
把你另外一只手张开, 想象这只手代表天父。当你听到下面这个经节, 就用这只手纂住第一只手。约翰福音10章29节说:"我父把羊赐给我, 他比万有都大, 谁也不能从我父手里把他们夺去。"你在耶稣和天父的手里, 你的安全就有双保险。撒但能把你从这一双手里夺去吗?当你害怕, 或觉得孤单的时候, 当别人因为你是_而嘲笑你的时候, 记住耶稣的应许。他在希伯莱书13章5节说:"我总不撇下你, 也不丢你。"
Talk to your Good Shepherd all through the day. That's called prayer. And when you read your Bible, That's called ?listening?to your Good Shepherd, for He speaks to you through His Word. Most of all, OBEY your Good Shepherd, for He knows what's best for you! Aren't you glad you have a Good Shepherd Who loves and cares for you every day?Let's thank Him right now for all His goodness to us.
每一天, 你要和你的好牧人说话, 这叫做祷告。当你读圣经的时候, 你就是在伶听好牧人对你说话。他通过圣经对你说话。最重要的, 要顺服你的好牧人, 因为他知道什么对你是最好的。我们有一个这么好的牧人, 每天来爱我们, 看顾我们。让我们现在就来感谢!

圣经是西方文化的重要源泉,也是一部包罗万象的百科全书。它是世界上发行量最大,发行时间最长,翻译成的语言最多,流行最广而读者面最大,影响最深远的一部书,并已被列入吉尼斯世界纪录大全。它不仅仅是一本宗教读物,其中更融合着历史、文化、政治、经济。它与希腊文明一起,形成了今天的欧美文化。其中美丽的故事,蕴含着深刻的思想内涵,是一笔丰富的精神财富,曾给无数的文学家、艺术家、思想家提供无穷的灵感与启迪,至今仍有极高的阅读价值。下面读文网小编为大家带来经典圣经故事阅读,希望大家喜欢!
Have you ever visited a happy home, where you felt loved and welcome?Jesus found just such a place when He visited the home of Mary, Martha and their brother Lazarus. John 11:5 says, "Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus." Their home was in the little village of Bethany, about 2 miles from the great city of Jerusalem.
小朋友们, 你有没有去过一个人的家, 在那个人家里, 你觉得特别温馨, 因为那里充满了爱?主耶稣也找到了这样一个地方。这是谁的家呢?就是马大, 玛利亚和拉撒路的家。约翰福音11:5说:"耶稣素来爱马大, 和他妹子, 并拉撒路。"他们的家在伯大尼的一个小小的村子里, 离耶路撒冷城有两英里。
However, in our Bible lesson for today, a great sadness has come upon that little home. Lazarus has become very ill, so ill that his sisters realized Lazarus was going to die if he didn't get some help. Mary and Martha knew the Lord Jesus could help him! Hadn't Jesus opened the ears of the deaf?Hadn't he healed the poor man with leprosy sores all over his body?Martha and Mary wasted no time in sending a messenger to find the Lord Jesus. The messenger found the Lord Jesus and simply said, "Lord, he whom you love is sick." Even though the messenger didn't say a name, the Lord Jesus immediately knew it was Lazarus who was sick.
在我们今天的圣经故事里, 这个家里发生了一件令人悲伤的事。弟弟拉撒路生病了, 而且病得很厉害, 他姐姐们知道他可能会死。马大和玛利亚知道只有耶稣能够帮助他!耶稣不是让聋子听见了吗?他不是治好了长大麻风的吗?马大和玛利亚赶快给耶稣捎去口信。捎信的人找到耶稣, 说:主啊, 你所爱的人病了。虽然他连名字都没提, 但主耶稣知道是拉撒路病了。
Jesus loved His friend Lazarus. Peter, James and John and the other disciples were standing around the Lord Jesus. Did He love them too?Yes, and He loves you too! He made you, He knows and cares about you. And Jesus cared about His dear friend Lazarus. He said to His disciples:"This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified." Jesus was saying that Lazarus's sickness was going to bring great honor to God and to His Son.
耶稣非常爱他的朋友拉撒路。彼得, 雅各和约翰, 还有其他门徒, 围在耶稣旁边。主耶稣也爱他们吗?是的, 他爱他们, 他也爱你!他造了你, 他认识你, 他也看顾你。耶稣很挂念他的朋友拉撒路。他对门徒说:"这病不至于死, 乃是为神的荣耀, 叫神的儿子因此得荣耀。"耶稣是说拉撒路的病要叫神和神的儿子得到荣耀。
Do you think Jesus and the disciples left right away to go to Lazarus?After all, this is an emergency! Martha and Mary are expecting Jesus. Lazarus will die if he doesn't get help. It seems so puzzling when we read that Jesus stayed right there for two more days! Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I'm going to wake him up." The disciples didn't understand until Jesus said plainly, "Lazarus is dead." Then Jesus said something that seems very strange:"Lazarus is dead.
我们肯定会希望主耶稣马上就去医治拉撒路, 对不对?这可是急诊阿!马大和玛利亚也在等耶稣。如果耶稣不帮他, 拉撒路一定会死的。但是, 圣经上说耶稣并没有马上去, 而是又等了两天才去。耶稣对门徒们说:"我们的朋友拉撒路睡了, 我去叫醒他。"门徒们真的以为拉撒路睡了, 主耶稣就明明的告诉他们说:"拉撒路死了, 我没有在那里就欢, 这是为你们的缘故, 好叫你们相信。"真是奇怪, 主耶稣竟然说, 拉撒路死了,
And I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe." Doesn't it seem strange that Jesus said, "Lazarus is dead and I am glad I was not there.?" But remember Jesus is God, and He has a very good purpose for all that He does when He does it!
我很高兴我没在那里。记住, 耶稣是神, 他做任何事情都有他美好的旨意
If you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior from sin, have there been times when you wondered why God didn't answer your prayer right away?Or when His answer was no, and you felt sure it should be ?yes.?" Remember, God has a good purpose for everything He does! Ephesians 1:11 speaks of ?the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will." God sees the past, the present and the future. He knows the very best way to work in our lives for our best good.
如果你已经相信耶稣是你的救主, 他把你从罪中拯救出来, 你有没有想过为什么有的时候神没有马上答应你的祷告?或者有时, 你100%肯定神会答应你的祷告, 但是, 神却说:"不!"我们要记住, 神做每一件事都有他的美好的旨意在里面。
His answers to our prayers may cause us to wonder why He doesn't do something right away, but remember God has a good purpose for all that He does, when He does it! And Jesus knew that waiting two more days before going to Bethany was God's best answer for Lazarus. After two days, Jesus said, "Let's go now."
耶稣知道。多等两天再去伯大尼就是神对拉撒路最好的回答。所以, 过了两天, 耶稣说:"我们去吧。"
The disciples did not want Jesus to go back to Bethany. They felt it was too dangerous for Jesus to be near Jerusalem, where recently a mob of angry people had tried to kill Him. When they knew that Jesus was determined to go, Thomas said to the others, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
门徒们却不想让耶稣去伯大尼, 因为那里离耶路撒冷很近, 最近还有犹太人要拿石头打耶稣, 所以他们觉得危险。但耶稣已经决定要去, 多马就对其他门徒说:"我们也去, 和他一起死罢。"
Let's read from John 11:"Then when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had been in the grave 4 days already. And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
让我们从约翰福音11章17节读下去:耶稣到了, 就知道拉撒路在坟墓里, 已经四天了。有好些犹太人来看马大和马利亚, 要为他们的兄弟安慰他们。
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him:but Mary sat still in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now, whatever you ask of God, God will give it to you." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
马大听见耶稣来了, 就出去迎接他。马利亚却仍然坐在家里。马大对耶稣说:主阿, 你若早在这里, 我兄弟必不死。就是现在, 我也知道, 你无论向神求什么, 神也必赐给你。耶稣说, 你兄弟必然复活。
Martha said, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.?" Listen carefully to hear what Jesus then told Martha! It is such good news for you and me! Jesus said, "I am the resurrection, and the life:he that believes in me, even though he dies, yet he will live."
马大对耶稣说:主阿, 你若早在这里, 我兄弟必不死。就是现在, 我也知道, 你无论向神求什么, 神也必赐给你。耶稣说, 你兄弟必然复活。马大说, 我知道在末日复活的时候, 他必复活。下面耶稣的回答要仔细听, 因为这是大好的消息。耶稣对马大说:"复活在我, 生命也在我。信我的人, 虽然死了, 也必复活。"
Do you ever think about dying?The Bible says we all must face that appointment with death. Even though there are many ways people die, there is only one real reason we die. Romans 5:12 says, ?" by one man sin entered into the world, and death (came) by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." The reason everyone has to die is because everyone has sinned. You see, the first people who ever lived, Adam & Eve, chose to disobey God. Disobeying God is called sin.
你有没有想过死这件事?圣经上说人人有一天都要面对死亡。虽然人们死的原因不一样, 但死亡的真正原因只有一个。罗马书5:12说:"这就如罪是从一人入了世界死又是从罪来的, 于是死就临到众人, 因为众人都犯了罪。"人都要死, 因为这世界上的每一个人都犯了罪。亚当和夏娃是神造的第一对人, 他们选择违背神的命令。违背神就是罪。
Because of their sin, everyone born after them was born with a sin nature. You and I could write a long list of all kinds of things that displease God, like fighting, saying bad things, breaking rules, etc. Any or all of those sins keep us separated from God and His Home. God's Home is Heaven, where there is perfect beauty and happiness, even a street of pure gold! But there is NO sin there!
因为他们的罪, 每一个在他们以后出生的人生来就都又了犯罪的天性。我们可以写出一长串不讨神喜悦的事情, 比如打架, 骂人, 违规等等。罪, 不管大小, 多少, 都把我们与神分开, 与神的家天堂分开。你知道吗?天堂里没有罪, 那里是那样的完美充满快乐, 甚至天堂的街道都是金子铺成的。
Because of your sin, you have that curse of physical death. But if you choose to stay in your sin, you will suffer everlasting death in Hell. Did you know that Jesus came to give you another choice?As the perfectly holy Son of God, Jesus left Heaven and came to a world that hated Him and didn't believe in Him. He came in great love to take our punishment for sin.
罪带来人身体的死亡。但如果你一直在罪里, 你还要经历在地狱里永远的死亡。你知道吗?耶稣来, 使我们可以脱离永远的死亡。作为神完美的儿子, 耶稣离开天上到这个世界上来, 这个世界却恨他, 不相信他。他实在爱我们, 为我们承担了对罪的惩罚。
I Corinthians 15:3 says, "Christ died for our sin?" Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and 3 days later came alive again. Now He is in Heaven, and He gives you the choice to believe on Him and be saved from everlasting death. When you are saved, you do not have to be afraid when you think about dying. You can remember Jesus' wonderful promise:"I am the resurrection and the life:he that believes in me, even though he dies, yet he will live."
歌林多前书15:3说:"基督照圣经所说, 为我们的罪死了。"耶稣死在十字架上, 被埋葬在第三天, 他复活了。他现在就在天上, 他愿意你来相信他, 就可以脱离永远的死亡。如果你已经得救了, 当你想到死的时候, 你就不用害怕了。 你可以记住耶稣的应许:"复活在我, 生命也在我。信我的人, 虽然死了, 也必复活。"
Jesus went on to tell Martha, "Whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" Martha answered, "Yes, Lord:I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world." Then Martha went to get Mary."Mary, the Master is come and He is calling for you." As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to Jesus. When the Jews saw Mary leave, they followed her, thinking, "She is going to the grave to cry."
耶稣又对马大说:"凡活著信我的人, 必永远不死。你信这话么。"马大说, 主阿, 是的。我信你是基督, 是神的儿子, 就是那要临到世界的。马大说了这话, 就回去叫她妹妹马利亚说, 夫子来了, 叫你。马利亚听见了, 就急忙起来, 到耶稣那里去。那些同马利亚在家里安慰他的犹太人, 见她急忙起来出去, 就跟著他。以为她要往坟墓那里去哭。但马利亚是要去见耶稣。
But Mary was hurrying to Jesus! When she saw Him, she fell at down at His feet. I'm sure she was crying as she said, "Lord, if You had only been here, my brother would not have died." Do you think Jesus was hardhearted as He saw this precious friend crying from a broken heart?No, boys and girls, the Bible says ?Jesus groaned in the spirit and was troubled?And then, "Jesus cried." Jesus hates what the curse of death has brought upon the world! It grieves His heart deeply.
她到了耶稣那里, 看见他, 就俯伏在他脚前。我想, 她一定哭著对主说:主阿, 你若早在这里, 我兄弟必不死。当耶稣看见他所宝贵的朋友这样难过, 你知道他是什么样的心情吗?圣经上说:耶稣心里悲叹, 又很忧愁, 然后, 耶稣哭了。耶稣痛恨死亡给这个世界带来的诅咒。这使他的心非常难过。
Where have you laid him?" Jesus asked. They led him to the grave. Some were whispering along the way, "Couldn't this man who opened the eyes of the blind have kept his friend Lazarus from dying?" They didn't understand God's wonderful purpose for this!
他问别人说, 你们把他安放在那里?他们就领他到拉撒路的坟墓那里。路上, 有人说, 他既然开了瞎子的眼睛, 岂不能叫这人不死么。 他们不明白神在这件事上的美好旨意
If you are God's child, you may not always understand God's purpose for allowing things in your life. You may wonder why God doesn't answer your prayers quickly, or why He allowed certain painful things to happen. But remember, God has a good purpose for everything He does.
如果你是神的孩子, 你也许并不理解在你身上发生的每一件事, 到底神有什么旨意?你也许会想为什么神没有马上答应你的祷告?为什么神允许痛苦发生?但是, 你要记住, 神做任何事情都有他美好的旨意在里面。
He promises in Romans 8:28, "All things work together for good to them that love God." God sees so much more than we as human beings can, and He promises His purposes and plans are for our good! Try to remember that even when you don't understand. Link:The Jews with Mary and Martha were whispering what they thought Jesus ought to have done, but they didn't understand the bigger and better plan Jesus had!
他在罗马书8:28应许说"万事都互相效力, 叫爱神的人得益处。"神比我们看得要远多了, 他知道未来, 也掌握未来。而且他应许他的旨意和计划都是为了我们的好处。虽然你可能还不理解, 但你要记住这个真理。
Jesus walked to the front of the tomb. It was a cave-like place with a stone in front of the opening."Take away the stone, " Jesus said. Quickly Martha protested, "But Lord, by this time he is stinking. He's been dead four days." But Jesus hushed Martha by saying, "Didn't I tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
跟著马大, 马利亚的犹太人小声议论著他们觉得耶稣该怎样做, 但他们实在不明白神在这件事上的美好旨意。耶稣来到坟墓前, 那坟墓是个洞, 有一块石头挡著。耶稣说:"你们把石头挪开。"马大对他说:"主阿, 他现在必是臭了, 因为他死了已经四天了。" 耶稣说:"我不是对你说过, 你若信, 就必看见神的荣耀么。"
Surely everyone stood with wide eyes focused on the Lord Jesus and that tomb. Some of the men moved the big stone away from the door. Then Jesus lifted His eyes toward Heaven and prayed, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people here I am saying this, so they may believe that You have sent Me." Then with a loud voice that rung with authority, Jesus cried out, "Lazarus, come out!"
每一个在那里的人都注视著耶稣, 想看看他要干什么。有人把石头挪开, 耶稣举目望天说:"父阿, 我感谢, 因为你已经听我。我也知道你常听我, 但我说这话, 是为周围站著的众人, 叫他们信是你差了我来。" 说了这话, 耶稣就以带著权柄的声音, 大声呼叫说:"拉撒路, 出来!
And the dead body of Lazarus heard the command of the Lord! The Bible says, "And he that was dead came out!" Lazarus?body was bound hand and foot with graveclothes:and his face was bound about with a napkin, but somehow he came out of that tomb!Jesus said, "Loose him, and let him go!"
那已死的拉撒路听见耶稣的命令!圣经说, 那死人就出来了, 尽管他手脚裹著布, 脸上包著手巾, 他竟然从坟墓口出来了。耶稣对他们说:"解开, 叫他走。"
Can you imagine how the people gasped in awe and amazement!! Can you imagine Mary and Martha's shouts of praise and gladness, as they pulled those graveclothes away from Lazarus?face, and hugged and kissed their precious brother!
你能想象人们惊讶的程度吗?你能想象当马大, 马利亚解开拉撒路身上的布, 拥抱,亲吻他们的弟弟, 并感谢美神的激动心情吗?
God's Word says, "Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him." Now we understand why Jesus waited! We can see His wonderful plan and purpose! He wanted more people to believe on Him, to understand that He could not only heal the sick, but He was the Son of God Who could raise the dead to life。
圣经接著说:"那些来看马利亚的犹太人, 见了耶稣所作的事, 就多有信他的。"现在, 我们知道为什么耶稣要多等两天才来。我们看见他的奇妙的计划和目的。他想让更多的人相信他, 知道他不但能使有病的得医治, 他更是神的儿子, 有权柄使人从死里复活。
If you have already believed on the Lord Jesus and asked Him to make you His child, remember, God has a good purpose for everything He does! You can trust the Lord Jesus, even when you don't understand His bigger plan and purpose! Maybe you will see later in life what that good purpose was, but maybe you will not know til you get to Heaven. Why not memorize Ephesians 1:11 and Romans 8:28 to help you remember to trust the Lord Jesus even when you don't understand.
如果你已经相信并接受耶稣, 并恳求他接受你成为他的孩子, 你要记住:神做任何事情都有他美好的旨意在里面。虽然你还不明白他的计划, 但你可以完全信靠耶稣。也许以后你回过头来看时, 就会惊讶地发现神的旨意是多么美好, 也许你到天上的时候才知道为什么神要这样做。为帮助你记住无论你理解不理解都要信靠神这个真理, 你可以把以弗所书1:11和罗马书8:28背起来。
Even though the Lord Jesus had given life to the dead, some of the Jews went away that day still refusing to believe on Him. What about you?As we close this wonderful true story, will you choose to believe on the Lord Jesus and have His gift of everlasting life?Then go now to ?How to be a Child of God?and follow those steps.
虽然主耶稣使拉撒路从死里复活, 但有一些犹太人还是不信耶稣。那你呢?当我们要结束这个故事的时候, 你愿意来相信耶稣并得到永远的生命吗?请你去听"怎样成为神的孩子, "并照着那里所说的去做。

圣经是西方文化的重要源泉,也是一部包罗万象的百科全书,其中不乏很多故事。下面读文网小编为大家带来圣经双语故事阅读,希望大家喜欢!
Now, boys and girls, you will think this is a strange name. God said:"Tell them that I AM THAT I AM sent you." We can understand a lot about God from that name. It means that He is the same yesterday, today, forever. He has just as much power and love and life today, as He has ever had! And then God told Moses to tell the people of Israel this name:the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
小朋友们,你们会觉得这是一个奇特的名字。神对摩西说:“我是自有永有的。”又说:“你要对以色列人这样说:‘是那自有永有的打发我到你们这里来的。’”从这个名字,我们可以更了解神:他是昨日,今日,永远不变的神。他的全能和爱从来不改变。然后,神又让摩西告诉以色列百姓,他是亚伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神。
But Moses was still afraid to go, so he made another excuse:"But they wont believe me." God asked:" What is that in your hand?" Moses answered, my shepherd’s rod. God said, Throw it down. When Moses did, that straight stiff rod became a slithering snake! And Moses ran from it! Wouldn’t you?Pick it up by the tail. And Moses did! Instantly it became a straight stiff piece of wood again!
可是摩西还是不敢去,他又找到一个借口,说:“他们不会相信我的。”神对摩西说:“你手里是什么?”他说:“是我牧羊用的杖。”神说:“丢在地上。”他一丢下去,那又硬又直的杖就变作一条滑溜溜的蛇。摩西赶快跑开。听故事的小朋友,你会不会呢?神对摩西说:“伸出手来拿住它的尾巴。”摩西照做,它又变成杖。还不只这些。神又对他说:“把手放在怀里。”他就把手放在怀里,抽出来,不料,手上长了大麻疯。
That’s not all! Then God said, put your hand inside your coat. When Moses obeyed, and then pulled his hand out, oh! His hand was covered with the terrible disease of leprosy. Now put your hand inside your coat again. Moses did, and when he brought his hand out again, the leprosy was gone!
神说:“再把手放在怀里。”他就再把手放在怀里,从怀里抽出来的时候,手已经复原了。神说,这两个神迹若以色列人都不信,也不听你的话,你就从河里取些水,倒在旱地上,你从河里取的水必在旱地上变作血。”这是多么令人惊奇的事!可是摩西还是找借口!摩西对神说:“主啊,我平时不太会讲话,拙口笨舌的。”神对他说:“谁造人的口呢?岂不是我吗?现在去吧!我必赐你口才,指教你所当说的话。”神将要借着摩西行大事。
If you know the Lord Jesus as your Saviour from sin, you are Gods child. He will ask you to do things for Him. But who is really doing the work?It is God working through you. Lets say our memory verse again. I Thessalonians 5:24, Faithful is he that calleth you who also will do it.
如果你认识主耶稣,那你就是神的孩子。他也要让你服侍他。但是,谁是真正作事的呢?是神!是神借着你在作事。让我们再说一遍今天学习的圣经经节:帖撒罗尼迦前书第5章24节说:“那召你们的本是信实的,他必成就这事。”
God was ready to do a great work through Moses. But oh no, can you believe Moses refused again! O my Lord, please send someone else! The Bible says God became angry with Moses, but He was still patient as He said, your brother Aaron speaks well. I will allow him to speak and you will do the miracles. Moses then made preparation to go to Egypt.
神要借着摩西行一件大事。可是,OH,不,摩西又再一次推托!摩西说:“主啊,你愿意打发谁,就打发谁去吧!”圣经说虽然神向摩西发怒,但他仍然有耐心,他说:“你的哥哥亚伦是会说话的人。他要替你对百姓说话,而你要来行神迹。”摩西只好准备去埃及了。
But even with a brother to help Moses, it would still be God Who would do the mighty work of leading His people!
你知道吗?虽然摩西的哥哥会帮助他,仍然是神在行大事带领他的百姓!
Moses went back to Jethro and asked him to let him return to Egypt. His father-in-law agreed and soon Moses was traveling back through the deserts and mountains to return to Egypt after forty long years of being away. What would happen to Moses?Would Pharaoh listen?
摩西回到他岳父那里,对他说他要回埃及去。得到岳父的同意,他很快穿过沙漠和高山回到离别40年的埃及。在那里会有什么事发生呢?
Will the Hebrew leaders listen?Moses would have to depend on God for His help!
法老会听摩西的话吗?以色列百姓会听摩西的话吗?摩西将要依靠神来帮助他。

"You cost me a lot of money, Sarah," he said. "First you wanted to learn horse riding, then dancing, then swimming. Now it's the violin.
"I'll play every day, Daddy." Sarah said. "I'll try very hard.
"All right," her father said. "This is what I'll do. I'll pay for you to have lessons for six weeks. At the end of six weeks you must play something for me. If you play well, you can have more lessons. If you play badly, I will stop the lessons."

小红帽是德国童话作家格林的童话《小红帽》中的人物,故事版本多达一百多个,是如今家户喻晓的经典童话故事,成了不少小朋友最喜欢的睡前故事之一。下面读文网小编为大家带来小红帽童话故事双语版,欢迎大家阅读。
Once upon a time there was a sweet little girl. Everyone who saw her liked her, but most of all her grandmother, who did not know what to give the child next. Once she gave her a little cap made of red velvet. Because it suited her so well, and she wanted to wear it all the time, she came to be known as Little Red Cap.
One day her mother said to her, "Come Little Red Cap. Here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. Take them to your grandmother. She is sick and weak, and they will do her well. Mind your manners and give her my greetings. Behave yourself on the way, and do not leave the path, or you might fall down and break the glass, and then there will be nothing for your grandmother. And when you enter her parlor, don't forget to say 'Good morning,' and don't peer into all the corners first."
"I'll do everything just right," said Little Red Cap, shaking her mother's hand.
The grandmother lived out in the woods, a half hour from the village. When Little Red Cap entered the woods a wolf came up to her. She did not know what a wicked animal he was, and was not afraid of him.
"Good day to you, Little Red Cap."
"Thank you, wolf."
"Where are you going so early, Little Red Cap?"
"To grandmother's."
"And what are you carrying under your apron?"
"Grandmother is sick and weak, and I am taking her some cake and wine. We baked yesterday, and they should be good for her and give her strength."
"Little Red Cap, just where does your grandmother live?"
"Her house is good quarter hour from here in the woods, under the three large oak trees. There's a hedge of hazel bushes there. You must know the place," said Little Red Cap.
The wolf thought to himself, "Now that sweet young thing is a tasty bite for me. She will taste even better than the old woman. You must be sly, and you can catch them both."
He walked along a little while with Little Red Cap, then he said, "Little Red Cap, just look at the beautiful flowers that are all around us. Why don't you go and take a look? And I don't believe you can hear how beautifully the birds are singing. You are walking along as though you were on your way to school. It is very beautiful in the woods."
Little Red Cap opened her eyes and when she saw the sunbeams dancing to and fro through the trees and how the ground was covered with beautiful flowers, she thought, "If a take a fresh bouquet to grandmother, she will be very pleased. Anyway, it is still early, and I'll be home on time." And she ran off the path into the woods looking for flowers. Each time she picked one she thought that she could see an even more beautiful one a little way off, and she ran after it, going further and further into the woods. But the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked on the door.
"Who's there?"
"Little Red Cap. I'm bringing you some cake and wine. Open the door."
"Just press the latch," called out the grandmother. "I'm too weak to get up."
The wolf pressed the latch, and the door opened. He stepped inside, went straight to the grandmother's bed, and ate her up. Then he put on her clothes, put her cap on his head, got into her bed, and pulled the curtains shut.
Little Red Cap had run after the flowers. After she had gathered so many that she could not carry any more, she remembered her grandmother, and then continued on her way to her house. She found, to her surprise, that the door was open. She walked into the parlor, and everything looked so strange that she thought, "Oh, my God, why am I so afraid? I usually like it at grandmother's."
She called out, "Good morning!" but received no answer.
Then she went to the bed and pulled back the curtains. Grandmother was lying there with her cap pulled down over her face and looking very strange.
"Oh, grandmother, what big ears you have!"
"All the better to hear you with."
"Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!"
"All the better to see you with."
"Oh, grandmother, what big hands you have!"
"All the better to grab you with!"
"Oh, grandmother, what a horribly big mouth you have!"
"All the better to eat you with!"
The wolf had scarcely finished speaking when he jumped from the bed with a single leap and ate up poor Little Red Cap. As soon as the wolf had satisfied his desires, he climbed back into bed, fell asleep, and began to snore very loudly.
A huntsman was just passing by. He thought, "The old woman is snoring so loudly. You had better see if something is wrong with her."
He stepped into the parlor, and when he approached the bed, he saw the wolf lying there. "So here I find you, you old sinner," he said. "I have been hunting for you a long time."
He was about to aim his rifle when it occurred to him that the wolf might have eaten the grandmother, and that she still might be rescued. So instead of shooting, he took a pair of scissors and began to cut open the wolf's belly. After a few cuts he saw the red cap shining through., and after a few more cuts the girl jumped out, crying, "Oh, I was so frightened! It was so dark inside the wolf's body!"
And then the grandmother came out as well, alive but hardly able to breathe. Then Little Red Cap fetched some large stones. She filled the wolf's body with them, and when he woke up and tried to run away, the stones were so heavy that he immediately fell down dead.
The three of them were happy. The huntsman skinned the wolf and went home with the pelt. The grandmother ate the cake and drank the wine that Little Red Cap had brought. And Little Red Cap thought, "As long as I live, I will never leave the path and run off into the woods by myself if mother tells me not to."
They also tell how Little Red Cap was taking some baked things to her grandmother another time, when another wolf spoke to her and wanted her to leave the path. But Little Red Cap took care and went straight to grandmother's. She told her that she had seen the wolf, and that he had wished her a good day, but had stared at her in a wicked manner. "If we hadn't been on a public road, he would have eaten me up," she said.
"Come," said the grandmother. "Let's lock the door, so he can't get in."
Soon afterward the wolf knocked on the door and called out, "Open up, grandmother. It's Little Red Cap, and I'm bringing you some baked things."
They remained silent, and did not open the door. Gray-Head crept around the house several times, and finally jumped onto the roof. He wanted to wait until Little Red Cap went home that evening, then follow her and eat her up in the darkness. But the grandmother saw what he was up to. There was a large stone trough in front of the house.
"Fetch a bucket, Little Red Cap," she said to the child. "Yesterday I cooked some sausage. Carry the water that I boiled them with to the trough." Little Red Cap carried water until the large, large trough was clear full. The smell of sausage arose into the wolf's nose. He sniffed and looked down, stretching his neck so long that he could no longer hold himself, and he began to slide. He slid off the roof, fell into the trough, and drowned. And Little Red Cap returned home happily, and no one harmed her.

《丑小鸭》是安徒生的经典童话故事之一,写了一只天鹅蛋在鸭群中破壳后,因相貌怪异,让同类鄙弃,历经千辛万苦、重重磨难之后长成了白天鹅。下面读文网小编为大家带来丑小鸭童话故事英文版及翻译,欢迎大家阅读欣赏!
It was so beautiful out on the country, it was summer- the wheat fields were golden, the oats were green, and down among the green meadows the hay was stacked. There the stork minced about on his red legs, clacking away in Egyptian, which was the language his mother had taught him. Round about the field and meadow lands rose vast forests, in which deep lakes lay hidden. Yes, it was indeed lovely out there in the country.
In the midst of the sunshine there stood an old manor house that had a deep moat around it. From the walls of the manor right down to the water's edge great burdock leaves grew, and there were some so tall that little children could stand upright beneath the biggest of them. In this wilderness of leaves, which was as dense as the forests itself, a duck sat on her nest, hatching her ducklings. She was becoming somewhat weary, because sitting is such a dull business and scarcely anyone came to see her. The other ducks would much rather swim in the moat than waddle out and squat under the burdock leaf to gossip with her.
But at last the eggshells began to crack, one after another. "Peep, peep!" said the little things, as they came to life and poked out their heads.
"Quack, quack!" said the duck, and quick as quick can be they all waddled out to have a look at the green world under the leaves. Their mother let them look as much as they pleased, because green is good for the eyes.
"How wide the world is," said all the young ducks, for they certainly had much more room now than they had when they were in their eggshells.
"Do you think this is the whole world?" their mother asked. "Why it extends on and on, clear across to the other side of the garden and right on into the parson's field, though that is further than I have ever been. I do hope you are all hatched," she said as she got up. "No, not quite all. The biggest egg still lies here. How much longer is this going to take? I am really rather tired of it all," she said, but she settled back on her nest.
"Well, how goes it?" asked an old duck who came to pay her a call.
"It takes a long time with that one egg," said the duck on the nest. "It won't crack, but look at the others. They are the cutest little ducklings I've ever seen. They look exactly like their father, the wretch! He hasn't come to see me at all."
"Let's have a look at the egg that won't crack," the old duck said. "It's a turkey egg, and you can take my word for it. I was fooled like that once myself. What trouble and care I had with those turkey children, for I may as well tell you, they are afraid of the water. I simply could not get them into it. I quacked and snapped at them, but it wasn't a bit of use. Let me see the egg. Certainly, it's a turkey egg. Let it lie, and go teach your other children to swim."
"Oh, I'll sit a little longer. I've been at it so long already that I may as well sit here half the summer."
"Suit yourself," said the old duck, and away she waddled.
At last the big egg did crack. "Peep," said the young one, and out he tumbled, but he was so big and ugly.
The duck took a look at him. "That's a frightfully big duckling," she said. "He doesn't look the least like the others. Can he really be a turkey baby? Well, well! I'll soon find out. Into the water he shall go, even if I have to shove him in myself."
Next day the weather was perfectly splendid, and the sun shone down on all the green burdock leaves. The mother duck led her whole family down to the moat. Splash! she took to the water. "Quack, quack," said she, and one duckling after another plunged in. The water went over their heads, but they came up in a flash, and floated to perfection. Their legs worked automatically, and they were all there in the water. Even the big, ugly gray one was swimming along.
"Why, that's no turkey," she said. "See how nicely he uses his legs, and how straight he holds himself. He's my very own son after all, and quite good-looking if you look at him properly. Quack, quack come with me. I'll lead you out into the world and introduce you to the duck yard. But keep close to me so that you won't get stepped on, and watch out for the cat!"
Thus they sallied into the duck yard, where all was in an uproar because two families were fighting over the head of an eel. But the cat got it, after all.
"You see, that's the way of the world." The mother duck licked her bill because she wanted the eel's head for herself. "Stir your legs. Bustle about, and mind that you bend your necks to that old duck over there. She's the noblest of us all, and has Spanish blood in her. That's why she's so fat. See that red rag around her leg? That's a wonderful thing, and the highest distinction a duck can get. It shows that they don't want to lose her, and that she's to have special attention from man and beast. Shake yourselves! Don't turn your toes in. A well-bred duckling turns his toes way out, just as his father and mother do-this way. So then! Now duck your necks and say quack!"
They did as she told them, but the other ducks around them looked on and said right out loud, "See here! Must we have this brood too, just as if there weren't enough of us already? And-fie! what an ugly-looking fellow that duckling is! We won't stand for him." One duck charged up and bit his neck.
"Let him alone," his mother said. "He isn't doing any harm."
"Possibly not," said the duck who bit him, "but he's too big and strange, and therefore he needs a good whacking."
"What nice-looking children you have, Mother," said the old duck with the rag around her leg. "They are all pretty except that one. He didn't come out so well. It's a pity you can't hatch him again."
"That can't be managed, your ladyship," said the mother. "He isn't so handsome, but he's as good as can be, and he swims just as well as the rest, or, I should say, even a little better than they do. I hope his looks will improve with age, and after a while he won't seem so big. He took too long in the egg, and that's why his figure isn't all that it should be." She pinched his neck and preened his feathers. "Moreover, he's a drake, so it won't matter so much. I think he will be quite strong, and I'm sure he will amount to something."
"The other ducklings are pretty enough," said the old duck. "Now make yourselves right at home, and if you find an eel's head you may bring it to me."
So they felt quite at home. But the poor duckling who had been the last one out of his egg, and who looked so ugly, was pecked and pushed about and made fun of by the ducks, and the chickens as well. "He's too big," said they all. The turkey gobbler, who thought himself an emperor because he was born wearing spurs, puffed up like a ship under full sail and bore down upon him, gobbling and gobbling until he was red in the face. The poor duckling did not know where he dared stand or where he dared walk. He was so sad because he was so desperately ugly, and because he was the laughing stock of the whole barnyard.
So it went on the first day, and after that things went from bad to worse. The poor duckling was chased and buffeted about by everyone. Even his own brothers and sisters abused him. "Oh," they would always say, "how we wish the cat would catch you, you ugly thing." And his mother said, "How I do wish you were miles away." The ducks nipped him, and the hens pecked him, and the girl who fed them kicked him with her foot.
So he ran away; and he flew over the fence. The little birds in the bushes darted up in a fright. "That's because I'm so ugly," he thought, and closed his eyes, but he ran on just the same until he reached the great marsh where the wild ducks lived. There he lay all night long, weary and disheartened.
When morning came, the wild ducks flew up to have a look at their new companion. "What sort of creature are you?" they asked, as the duckling turned in all directions, bowing his best to them all. "You are terribly ugly," they told him, "but that's nothing to us so long as you don't marry into our family."
Poor duckling! Marriage certainly had never entered his mind. All he wanted was for them to let him lie among the reeds and drink a little water from the marsh.
There he stayed for two whole days. Then he met two wild geese, or rather wild ganders-for they were males. They had not been out of the shell very long, and that's what made them so sure of themselves.
"Say there, comrade," they said, "you're so ugly that we have taken a fancy to you. Come with us and be a bird of passage. In another marsh near-by, there are some fetching wild geese, all nice young ladies who know how to quack. You are so ugly that you'll completely turn their heads."
Bing! Bang! Shots rang in the air, and these two ganders fell dead among the reeds. The water was red with their blood. Bing! Bang! the shots rang, and as whole flocks of wild geese flew up from the reeds another volley crashed. A great hunt was in progress. The hunters lay under cover all around the marsh, and some even perched on branches of trees that overhung the reeds. Blue smoke rose like clouds from the shade of the trees, and drifted far out over the water.
The bird dogs came splash, splash! through the swamp, bending down the reeds and the rushes on every side. This gave the poor duckling such a fright that he twisted his head about to hide it under his wing. But at that very moment a fearfully big dog appeared right beside him. His tongue lolled out of his mouth and his wicked eyes glared horribly. He opened his wide jaws, flashed his sharp teeth, and - splash, splash - on he went without touching the duckling.
"Thank heavens," he sighed, "I'm so ugly that the dog won't even bother to bite me."
He lay perfectly still, while the bullets splattered through the reeds as shot after shot was fired. It was late in the day before things became quiet again, and even then the poor duckling didn't dare move. He waited several hours before he ventured to look about him, and then he scurried away from that marsh as fast as he could go. He ran across field and meadows. The wind was so strong that he had to struggle to keep his feet.
Late in the evening he came to a miserable little hovel, so ramshackle that it did not know which way to tumble, and that was the only reason it still stood. The wind struck the duckling so hard that the poor little fellow had to sit down on his tail to withstand it. The storm blew stronger and stronger, but the duckling noticed that one hinge had come loose and the door hung so crooked that he could squeeze through the crack into the room, and that's just what he did.
Here lived an old woman with her cat and her hen. The cat, whom she called "Sonny," could arch his back, purr, and even make sparks, though for that you had to stroke his fur the wrong way. The hen had short little legs, so she was called "Chickey Shortleg." She laid good eggs, and the old woman loved her as if she had been her own child.
In the morning they were quick to notice the strange duckling. The cat began to purr, and the hen began to cluck.
"What on earth!" The old woman looked around, but she was short-sighted, and she mistook the duckling for a fat duck that had lost its way. "That was a good catch," she said. "Now I shall have duck eggs-unless it's a drake. We must try it out." So the duckling was tried out for three weeks, but not one egg did he lay.
In this house the cat was master and the hen was mistress. They always said, "We and the world," for they thought themselves half of the world, and much the better half at that. The duckling thought that there might be more than one way of thinking, but the hen would not hear of it.
"Can you lay eggs?" she asked
"No."
"Then be so good as to hold your tongue."
The cat asked, "Can you arch your back, purr, or make sparks?"
"No."
"Then keep your opinion to yourself when sensible people are talking."
The duckling sat in a corner, feeling most despondent. Then he remembered the fresh air and the sunlight. Such a desire to go swimming on the water possessed him that he could not help telling the hen about it.
"What on earth has come over you?" the hen cried. "You haven't a thing to do, and that's why you get such silly notions. Lay us an egg, or learn to purr, and you'll get over it."
"But it's so refreshing to float on the water," said the duckling, "so refreshing to feel it rise over your head as you dive to the bottom."
"Yes, it must be a great pleasure!" said the hen. "I think you must have gone crazy. Ask the cat, who's the wisest fellow I know, whether he likes to swim or dive down in the water. Of myself I say nothing. But ask the old woman, our mistress. There's no one on earth wiser than she is. Do you imagine she wants to go swimming and feel the water rise over her head?"
"You don't understand me," said the duckling.
"Well, if we don't, who would? Surely you don't think you are cleverer than the cat and the old woman-to say nothing of myself. Don't be so conceited, child. Just thank your Maker for all the kindness we have shown you. Didn't you get into this snug room, and fall in with people who can tell you what's what? But you are such a numbskull that it's no pleasure to have you around. Believe me, I tell you this for your own good. I say unpleasant truths, but that's the only way you can know who are your friends. Be sure now that you lay some eggs. See to it that you learn to purr or to make sparks."
"I think I'd better go out into the wide world," said the duckling.
"Suit yourself," said the hen.
So off went the duckling. He swam on the water, and dived down in it, but still he was slighted by every living creature because of his ugliness.
Autumn came on. The leaves in the forest turned yellow and brown. The wind took them and whirled them about. The heavens looked cold as the low clouds hung heavy with snow and hail. Perched on the fence, the raven screamed, "Caw, caw!" and trembled with cold. It made one shiver to think of it. Pity the poor little duckling!
One evening, just as the sun was setting in splendor, a great flock of large, handsome birds appeared out of the reeds. The duckling had never seen birds so beautiful. They were dazzling white, with long graceful necks. They were swans. They uttered a very strange cry as they unfurled their magnificent wings to fly from this cold land, away to warmer countries and to open waters. They went up so high, so very high, that the ugly little duckling felt a strange uneasiness come over him as he watched them. He went around and round in the water, like a wheel. He craned his neck to follow their course, and gave a cry so shrill and strange that he frightened himself. Oh! He could not forget them-those splendid, happy birds. When he could no longer see them he dived to the very bottom. and when he came up again he was quite beside himself. He did not know what birds they were or whither they were bound, yet he loved them more than anything he had ever loved before. It was not that he envied them, for how could he ever dare dream of wanting their marvelous beauty for himself? He would have been grateful if only the ducks would have tolerated him-the poor ugly creature.
The winter grew cold - so bitterly cold that the duckling had to swim to and fro in the water to keep it from freezing over. But every night the hole in which he swam kept getting smaller and smaller. Then it froze so hard that the duckling had to paddle continuously to keep the crackling ice from closing in upon him. At last, too tired to move, he was frozen fast in the ice.
Early that morning a farmer came by, and when he saw how things were he went out on the pond, broke away the ice with his wooden shoe, and carried the duckling home to his wife. There the duckling revived, but when the children wished to play with him he thought they meant to hurt him. Terrified, he fluttered into the milk pail, splashing the whole room with milk. The woman shrieked and threw up her hands as he flew into the butter tub, and then in and out of the meal barrel. Imagine what he looked like now! The woman screamed and lashed out at him with the fire tongs. The children tumbled over each other as they tried to catch him, and they laughed and they shouted. Luckily the door was open, and the duckling escaped through it into the bushes, where he lay down, in the newly fallen snow, as if in a daze.
But it would be too sad to tell of all the hardships and wretchedness he had to endure during this cruel winter. When the warm sun shone once more, the duckling was still alive among the reeds of the marsh. The larks began to sing again. It was beautiful springtime.
Then, quite suddenly, he lifted his wings. They swept through the air much more strongly than before, and their powerful strokes carried him far. Before he quite knew what was happening, he found himself in a great garden where apple trees bloomed. The lilacs filled the air with sweet scent and hung in clusters from long, green branches that bent over a winding stream. Oh, but it was lovely here in the freshness of spring!
From the thicket before him came three lovely white swans. They ruffled their feathers and swam lightly in the stream. The duckling recognized these noble creatures, and a strange feeling of sadness came upon him.
"I shall fly near these royal birds, and they will peck me to bits because I, who am so very ugly, dare to go near them. But I don't care. Better be killed by them than to be nipped by the ducks, pecked by the hens, kicked about by the hen-yard girl, or suffer such misery in winter."
So he flew into the water and swam toward the splendid swans. They saw him, and swept down upon him with their rustling feathers raised. "Kill me!" said the poor creature, and he bowed his head down over the water to wait for death. But what did he see there, mirrored in the clear stream? He beheld his own image, and it was no longer the reflection of a clumsy, dirty, gray bird, ugly and offensive. He himself was a swan! Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.
He felt quite glad that he had come through so much trouble and misfortune, for now he had a fuller understanding of his own good fortune, and of beauty when he met with it. The great swans swam all around him and stroked him with their bills.
Several little children came into the garden to throw grain and bits of bread upon the water. The smallest child cried, "Here's a new one," and the others rejoiced, "yes, a new one has come." They clapped their hands, danced around, and ran to bring their father and mother.
And they threw bread and cake upon the water, while they all agreed, "The new one is the most handsome of all. He's so young and so good-looking." The old swans bowed in his honor.
Then he felt very bashful, and tucked his head under his wing. He did not know what this was all about. He felt so very happy, but he wasn't at all proud, for a good heart never grows proud. He thought about how he had been persecuted and scorned, and now he heard them all call him the most beautiful of all beautiful birds. The lilacs dipped their clusters into the stream before him, and the sun shone so warm and so heartening. He rustled his feathers and held his slender neck high, as he cried out with full heart: "I never dreamed there could be so much happiness, when I was the ugly duckling."#p#副标题#e#
