God remembers!
神记得！
by Horatius Bonar
作者：贺瑞修·博纳
“They do not realize that I remember all their evil deeds! Their sins engulf them–they are always before Me.” Hosea 7:2
“他们不知道我记得他们一切的恶行！他们的罪恶环绕着他们——这些都常在我面前。” 何西阿书7:2
Sin is . . .
罪是……
not an accident,
不是一个意外，
nor a carelessness,
不是一个疏忽，
nor a misfortune,
不是一个不幸，
nor a disease,
不是一种疾病，
nor a weakness.
不是一种软弱。
It may be all these, perhaps; but it is something beyond all these–something of a more fatal and terrible character.
也许它包含这些，但它远超过这些——是更致命和可怕的事物。
Sin is a crime against our Almighty Maker, Sustainer and Judge!
罪是对全能的创造主、维系者和审判者的犯罪！
Man’s tendency is either to deny, or to extenuate his sin. He either pleads “not guilty”–or he smoothes over his evils, giving them flattering names.
人的倾向是否认或淡化自己的罪。他要么辩称”无罪”，要么掩饰自己的恶行，给它们好听的名字。
Or if he does not succeed in these, he casts the blame off of himself. He shifts the responsibility . . .
或者如果这些都不成功，他就把责任推卸给别人。他把责任转嫁到……
to his nature,
他的本性，
to his circumstances,
他的环境，
to his lack of education,
他的教育缺乏，
even to God Himself!
甚至归咎于神自己！
But human sin is not thus to be diluted, or transformed into a shadow. It is infinitely real, true, deep and terrible in the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
但人的罪不能这样被稀释，或变成影子。在我们所要面对的神眼中，罪是无限真实、确实、深重和可怕的。
Let us never trifle with sin, either in the intellect or the imagination. Let us learn sin’s true nature, from the terribleness of the wrath and condemnation threatened by God against every sin, great or small.
让我们永远不要在思想或想象中轻视罪。让我们从神对每一个罪，无论大小，所警告的可怕愤怒和谴责中，认识罪的真实本质。
God remembers our sins!
神记得我们的罪！
His memory never fails in anything.
祂的记忆从不遗漏任何事。
Nothing escapes it, great or small.
无论大小，没有什么能逃过。
Time does not efface it.
时间无法抹去它。
Ages blot out nothing.
岁月不能消除任何事。
To Him, the past is as clear and full as the present.
对祂而言，过去和现在一样清晰完整。
Other events do not expunge it.
其他事件不能消除它。
Our own forgetfulness will not cancel it.
我们自己的遗忘不能取消它。
Though man should forget, God remembers! He will and must, call up our sins at last. Men may try to forget it; to drown all thought of it; to efface all traces of it–but God will bring it to remembrance.
即使人忘记，神记得！祂终将也必须追讨我们的罪。人也许试图忘记它，淹没对它的所有思想，抹去它的所有痕迹——但神会使人想起它。
God remembers our sins! Nothing can make Him forget. He has an iron memory!
神记得我们的罪！没有什么能使祂忘记。祂有铁一般的记忆！
God remembers . . .
神记得……
the person;
那个人；
the time;
那个时间；
the circumstances;
那些环境；
the thing itself;
事情本身；
public or secret.
公开的或隐秘的。
“God does not remember our sins!” is the world’s great motto!
“神不记得我们的罪！”是这世界的重要口号！
“They do not realize that I remember all their evil deeds! Their sins engulf them–they are always before Me.” Hosea 7:2
