Jonathan Edwards’ Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a powerful, soul-piercing sermon delivered on July 8, 1741, during the height of the Great Awakening.
乔纳森·爱德华兹（Jonathan Edwards）的《落在愤怒之神手中的罪人》（Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God）是一篇强有力、穿透人心的讲道，于1741年7月8日，在大觉醒（Great Awakening）高潮时期传讲。
Renowned for its vivid imagery and profound theological depth, this sermon was used by God to awaken multitudes to the reality of divine judgment and the necessity of repentance.
这篇讲道以其生动的意象和深刻的神学深度而闻名，被神用来唤醒众人，使他们认识到神圣审判（divine judgment）的现实和悔改的必要性。
Edwards, with striking clarity, paints the terrifying truth of God’s righteous wrath against sin while holding out the hope of mercy through Jesus Christ.
爱德华兹以惊人的清晰度，描绘了神对罪的公义的愤怒（righteous wrath）这一可怕的真相，同时又指出了通过耶稣基督获得怜悯（mercy）的希望。
The sermon draws its primary inspiration from Deuteronomy 32:35, emphasizing that all unconverted sinners are suspended over the pit of eternal destruction by the mere pleasure of a holy God.
这篇讲道的主要灵感来源于申命记三十二35，强调所有未归信的罪人仅凭一位圣洁之神的意旨（pleasure），悬挂在永恒毁灭的深渊（pit of eternal destruction）之上。
Edwards describes sinners as being held by a fragile thread, with nothing but God’s sovereign grace preventing them from plunging into everlasting torment.
爱德华兹描述罪人被一根脆弱的线所牵住，除了神的主权恩典（sovereign grace）之外，没有其他东西能阻止他们坠入永远的痛苦（everlasting torment）。
His words are designed to pierce the conscience, emphasizing both the justice of God in punishing sin and the urgency of fleeing to Christ for salvation.
祂的话语旨在刺穿良心，强调神惩罚罪恶的公义（justice），以及奔向基督寻求救恩的迫切性（urgency）。
Yet, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is not a sermon of hopeless despair but one of gracious warning.
然而，《落在愤怒之神手中的罪人》并非一篇绝望无助（hopeless despair）的讲道，而是一篇恩慈的警告。
Edwards calls his hearers to repentance, urging them to seek refuge in Christ, the only Savior from divine wrath.
爱德华兹呼吁祂的听众悔改，敦促他们寻求在基督里的避难所，祂是唯一能救人脱离神圣愤怒（divine wrath）的救主。
His masterful use of Scripture, combined with pastoral earnestness, makes this sermon a profound example of biblical preaching aimed at awakening spiritual deadness.
祂对圣经的精湛运用，结合牧者的热切（pastoral earnestness），使这篇讲道成为旨在唤醒属灵死寂（spiritual deadness）的合乎圣经的讲道的深刻典范。
