WITHIN the last twenty years the book of Genesis has come very prominently into view, as the starting-point of numerous discussions.
在过去的二十年里，《创世记》（book of Genesis）作为众多讨论的起点，变得非常引人注目。
Science and history have combined to lead us back to it.
科学和历史结合起来引导我们回到它。
The former has taken up its story of creation; the latter its nationalities, as contained in its genealogies and chronology.
前者探讨了它的创造故事；后者探讨了它谱系（genealogies）和年代学（chronology）中所包含的民族性。
The present volume does not enter into these discussions.
本书没有涉及这些讨论。
It aims at exposition, not controversy.
它的目标是解经（exposition），而不是争论。
Its object is to investigate the meaning of each verse and word; that, having done so, the exact revelation of God in these may be brought out, and the spiritual truth evolved.
它的目的是查考每一个经节和每一个词的含义；以便在完成之后，将神在这些内容中精确的启示展现出来，并阐明属灵的真理。
Here are the rudiments of all Scripture-truth.
这里是所有圣经真理的基本原理（rudiments）。
And in this book we have the first materials on which to construct a a true theory of development;—development not simply of ‘truth,’ but of the purpose of God respecting man, and man’s earth.
在这本书中，我们拥有构建一个真正的“发展理论”（theory of development）的最初材料；—发展不仅是“真理”的发展，也是神关于人以及人类地球的目的的发展。
The germs of true development are to be found here in their earliest stage.
真正的“发展”的萌芽可以在这里找到，处于它们最早的阶段。
God here unfolds Himself and reveals His mind step by step; His truth expanding itself age after age, under divine superintendence, so as to prevent the consequences of mere human interpretations, or development according to the mind of man.
神在这里逐步地展开（unfolds）祂自己并启示祂的心意；祂的真理在神圣的监督下，一代又一代地扩展，以防止纯粹人类解释或按照人心意的发展所带来的后果。
All Scripture connects itself with Genesis, and ought to be read in this connection; for it is not so much the later Scriptures that throw light on Genesis, as it is Genesis that throws light on the later Scriptures.
所有圣经都与《创世记》联系在一起，并应该在这种关联中阅读；因为与其说是后来的经文为《创世记》提供亮光，不如说是《创世记》为后来的经文提供了亮光。
Genesis is not merely the first book of Scripture, but it is the fountainhead of revelation.
《创世记》不仅是圣经的第一本书，它也是启示的源头（fountainhead）。
It must be studied as such if we would understand it aright.
如果我们想要正确理解它，就必须以此来研读它。
