Atonement

任何犯罪的人，在真心悔改，愿意赎罪之前，是不可能发现真理的。

【赛6:9】他说：“你去告诉这百姓说：你们听是要听见，却不明白；看是要看见，却不晓得。

【赛6:10】要使这百姓心蒙脂油，耳朵发沉，眼睛昏迷；恐怕眼睛看见，耳朵听见，心里明白，回转过来，便得医治。”

【ישע'6:9】וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לֵ֥ךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֨וֹעַ֙ וְאַל־תָּבִ֔ינוּ וּרְא֥וּ רָא֖וֹ וְאַל־תֵּדָֽעוּ׃ 【ישע'6:10】הַשְׁמֵן֙ לֵב־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה וְאָזְנָ֥יו הַכְבֵּ֖ד וְעֵינָ֣יו הָשַׁ֑ע פֶּן־יִרְאֶ֨ה בְעֵינָ֜יו וּבְאָזְנָ֣יו יִשְׁמָ֗ע וּלְבָב֥וֹ יָבִ֛ין וָשָׁ֖ב וְרָ֥פָא לֽוֹ׃

【Isa6:9】He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand; and you see indeed, but don’t perceive.’ 【Isa6:10】Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

自亚当夏娃堕落以来，人们悖逆神，这个世界就开始堕落败坏。神选择以色列民，赐给他们律法，让他们作万民的表率，但是，连他们也堕落了。所以，我们可以说，这是一个邪僻乖张的世代【申32:5】这乖僻弯曲的世代，向他行事邪僻，有这弊病，就不是他的儿女。 NIV32:5They have acted corruptly toward him; to their shame they are no longer his children, but a warped and crooked generation. JPS5 Is corruption His? No; His children's is the blemish; a generation crooked and perverse.

השִׁחֵת לוֹ לֹא, בָּנָיו מוּמָם: {ס} דּוֹר עִקֵּשׁ, וּפְתַלְתֹּל. {ר}

【诗101:3】邪僻的事，我都不摆在我眼前；悖逆人所作的事，我甚恨恶，不容沾在我身上。 NIV101:3I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me. JPS3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes; {N} I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.

גלֹא-אָשִׁית, לְנֶגֶד עֵינַי-- דְּבַר-בְּלִיָּעַל: עֲשֹׂה-סֵטִים שָׂנֵאתִי; לֹא יִדְבַּק בִּי.

【箴4:24】你要除掉邪僻的口，弃绝乖谬的嘴。 NIV4:24Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. JPS24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

כדהָסֵר מִמְּךָ, עִקְּשׁוּת פֶּה; וּלְזוּת שְׂפָתַיִם, הַרְחֵק מִמֶּךָּ.

【箴17:20】心存邪僻的，寻不着好处；舌弄是非的，陷在祸患中。 NIV17:20A man of perverse heart does not prosper; he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble. JPS20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good; and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into evil.

כעִקֶּשׁ-לֵב, לֹא יִמְצָא-טוֹב; וְנֶהְפָּךְ בִּלְשׁוֹנוֹ, יִפּוֹל בְּרָעָה.

这些世俗人，悖逆者，他们只喜欢虚幻的美好。不在乎真理和实在的力量。

诗39:5你使我的年日窄如手掌；我一生的年数，在你面前如同无有。各人最稳妥的时候，真是全然虚幻。（细拉） 39:5You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. Selah JPS6 Behold, Thou hast made my days as hand-breadths; and mine age is as nothing before Thee; {N}

והִנֵּה טְפָחוֹת, נָתַתָּה יָמַי-- וְחֶלְדִּי כְאַיִן נֶגְדֶּךָ; אַךְ כָּל-הֶבֶל כָּל-אָדָם, נִצָּב סֶלָה.

诗39:11你因人的罪恶惩罚他的时候，叫他的笑容（或作“所喜爱的”）消灭，如衣被虫所咬。世人真是虚幻！（细拉） 39:11You rebuke and discipline men for their sin; you consume their wealth like a moth--each man is but a breath. Selah JPS 12 With rebukes dost Thou chasten man for iniquity, and like a moth Thou makest his beauty to consume away; {N} surely every man is vanity. Selah

יבבְּתוֹכָחוֹת עַל-עָוֺן, יִסַּרְתָּ אִישׁ-- וַתֶּמֶס כָּעָשׁ חֲמוּדוֹ; אַךְ הֶבֶל כָּל-אָדָם סֶלָה.

传5:7多梦和多言，其中多有虚幻。你只要敬畏　神。 5:7Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God. JPS 6 For through the multitude of dreams and vanities there are also many words; but fear thou God.

וכִּי בְרֹב חֲלֹמוֹת וַהֲבָלִים, וּדְבָרִים הַרְבֵּה: כִּי אֶת-הָאֱלֹהִים, יְרָא.

对于罪人，上主会降罚于他们。

传2:26神喜悦谁，就给谁智慧、知识和喜乐，惟有罪人，　神使他劳苦，叫他将所收聚的、所堆积的归给　神所喜悦的人。这也是虚空，也是捕风。

箴13:21祸患追赶罪人；义人必得善报。

诗104:35愿罪人从世上消灭，愿恶人归于无有。我的心哪，要称颂至高神！你们要赞美至高神（原文作“哈利路亚”。下同）！

箴11:7恶人一死，他的指望必灭绝；罪人的盼望，也必灭没。

诗1:5因此当审判的时候，恶人必站立不住；罪人在义人的会中也是如此。

诗25:8至高神是良善正直的，所以他必指示罪人走正路。

安心走神的路，敬拜上主。一切荣耀归于神。
