A thorough hatred
彻底的恨恶
(Charles Spurgeon, “Treasury of David”)
(司布真《大卫宝库》)
“You hate all workers of iniquity!” Psalm 5:5
“祢恨恶所有作孽的人!”诗篇5:5
“It is not a little dislike — but a thorough hatred which God bears to workers of iniquity. To be hated by God is an awful thing. O let us be very faithful in warning the wicked around us, for it will be a terrible thing for them to fall into the hands of an angry God!”
“这不是一点不喜欢—而是神对作孽之人的彻底恨恶。被神恨恶是一件可怕的事。啊,让我们忠心地警告我们周围的恶人,因为落在愤怒的神手中对他们来说将是可怕的事!”
“What a vile thing is sin, which makes the God of love and Father of mercies — into an enemy to His creatures; and which could only be purged by the blood of the Son of God!”
“罪是何等可憎的事物,它使慈爱的神和怜悯的父—变成祂受造物的仇敌;而且只能借着神儿子的宝血才能洗净!”
“Not only the work — but worker of iniquity also becomes the object of His hatred.”
“不仅是罪恶的行为—作恶的人也成为祂恨恶的对象。”
“Those whom the Lord hates, must perish. What is more due to such impenitent sinners, than hatred? What is more proper than wrath — since they treasure up wrath? Will He entertain those in the bosom of His love — those whom His soul hates? No! Destruction is their portion.”
“主所恨恶的人,必要灭亡。对这些不悔改的罪人,还有什么比恨恶更应得的呢?既然他们积蓄忿怒,还有什么比忿怒更恰当的呢?祂会将那些祂心里恨恶的人拥入祂爱的怀抱吗?不!毁灭是他们的分。”
“If God’s hatred is against the workers of iniquity — then how great is it against iniquity itself! If a man hates a poisonous creature — he hates poison much more. The strength of God’s hatred is against sin — and so should we hate sin, and hate it with all our strength! Sin is an abomination unto God — let it be so unto us!”
“如果神的恨恶是针对作恶的人—那么祂对罪恶本身的恨恶该有多大啊!如果一个人恨恶有毒的生物—他就更恨恶毒素。神恨恶的力量是针对罪—所以我们也当恨恶罪,用尽全力地恨恶它!罪在神面前是可憎的—在我们面前也当如此!”
