A Commentary upon the whole 14th Chapter of the Prophecy of the Prophet Hosea
对先知何西阿书第 14 章的整章进行评论
The puritan Richard Sibbes’ sixteen sermons on the fourteenth chapter of Hosea entitled “The Returning Backslider” were preached in the 1620s were printed in 1639. The aim of this work is to assist the backslider to return. Wherein is shewed the large extent of GOD’S free Mercy, even unto the most miserable forlorne and wretched sinners that may be, upon their Humiliation and Repentance.
清教徒理查德·西布斯在 1620 年代讲授的关于何西阿书第十四章的十六篇讲道，题为《回转的背道者》，于 1639 年印刷出版。本作旨在帮助背道者回归。展示了上帝的无限慈悲，即使对于最可怜、最悲惨的罪人，只要他们谦卑悔改，也能得到上帝的怜悯。
This treatise begs the favour of those concerning whom especially it is said Christ came for, poor trembling sinners, ‘the blind,’ ‘the prisoners of hope,’* and such who by the assiduity, iteration, and multitude of Satan’s discouragements and temptations, sit, as it were, in darkness, and in the valley of death, to whom every sour thing is sweet. Because these, most of all, relish and stand in need of mercy; for when the least flame of that unsupportable wrath breaks forth in show, which is poured out like fire, and ‘kindled by the breath of the Lord of Hosts, like a river of brimstone,’† which can make ‘the mountains quake, the hills melt,’ ‘burn up the earth, and all that is therein,’§ the poor soul for the time thinking on nothing but ‘blackness and darkness of tempest,’ whilst bypast sins, without sight of the Mediator, stares them in the face, with millions of unconceivable horrors and astonishments: then to see light in darkness, mercy in wrath, the sunshine of righteousness, a gracious God appeased by a Mediator, with some sight and sense of its interest therein, this must needs overjoy the troubled soul, which is the main subject of this book. How gracious God is to encourage miserable sinners to return! What encouragements and helps he gives them, what effects his gracious working hath in them, and how sweetly they close with him again! Wherefore, though this mess comes not unto thee set forth in a ‘lordly dish,’ not having passed, since the preaching thereof, under the exquisite hand of the most worthy author, yet despise it not. For many times, though things of greater judgment affect the understanding most, yet things of lesser conciseness work more upon the affections in a plain flowing way, which happiness, with all other felicities, he wisheth thee, who is ever
这篇论文恳求那些基督特别为之而来的人的恩宠，即贫穷颤抖的罪人，“盲人”，“希望的囚徒”，以及那些因撒旦的劝阻和诱惑的勤奋、重复和众多而坐在黑暗中、在死亡的山谷中的人，对他们来说，每一件酸涩的事物都是甜美的。因为这些人最需要并且最能品味到怜悯；当那不可承受的愤怒之火一旦显露出来，像火一样倾泻出来，“被万军之耶和华的气息点燃，像硫磺的河流”，能使“山岳震动，小山消融”，“烧尽大地和其中所有的”，那时，可怜的灵魂一时只想着“暴风雨的黑暗和黑暗”，而过去的罪恶，在没有看到调解者的情况下，盯着他们的脸，带着无数难以想象的恐怖和惊讶：然后在黑暗中看到光明，在愤怒中看到怜悯，在公义的阳光下，一个仁慈的上帝因调解者而平息，对其中的一些视觉和感觉，这必然会使困扰的灵魂欢喜，这是本书的主要主题。 上帝是多么慈悲，鼓励可怜的罪人回转！他给予他们多少鼓励和帮助，他的恩慈在他们身上产生了什么效果，他们又是多么甜蜜地与他重新接近！因此，尽管这个信息没有以“高贵的盘子”呈现给你，也没有经过最有价值的作者的精心处理，但不要轻视它。多次来说，尽管更重要的事情会对理解产生更大的影响，但更简洁的事情以一种直接流畅的方式更能触动情感，愿你拥有这种幸福和其他所有的幸福
