愉悅(pleasure)

2020-12-12 英語yyw

2020年的疫情,使人們靜了下來。可時間一長,都叫苦不迭。因為,離開『愉悅』感,受不了。今天讀《聖經》,我發現pleasure這一詞出現的頻率很高。我們就一起來多角度感悟一下『愉悅』的內涵與外延。

先看定義

pleasure

the feeling of happiness, enjoyment, or satisfaction that you get from an experience

愉悅

從經歷中獲得的快樂、享受或滿足感

3000年前,鼎盛的以色列王所羅門君臨天下,紅極一時。他後宮佳麗成千,可謂愉悅至極。

I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure.

我看到想要的,沒有得不到的;開心的事,來者不拒。(傳道書2:10)

幾十年的愉悅之後,所羅門已至垂暮之年,動不得,吃不下,欲望消失。

他說:I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good. But that also proved to be meaningless.

我要用愉悅試探你,看看它究竟好在哪裡。然而,結果還是空。

And what does pleasure accomplish?

又說:愉悅能成就什麼呢?(傳道書2:1-2)

一切都是過眼雲煙。經過一番轟轟烈烈的歡愉,到頭來,留下深深地遺憾。

They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

他們想在光天化日之下狂歡作樂,卻惡遭惡報。這些社會渣滓與你們一同宴樂的時候,就得意洋洋。(彼得後書2:13)

時刻沉溺於尋歡作樂之人,均是墮落的社會渣滓,自己陶醉其中,卻渾然不知。

But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.

但我義人必因信而活。他若縮回去,我就不喜悅他了。(希伯來書10:38)

保羅坦言:有信仰之人,最終又退回到原點,可惜可嘆,不受喜悅。

(提摩太後書3:1-5)

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

把這些話做記號:末世會有可怕的時期。

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

人們將只顧自己,愛錢,得意,虐待,不服父母,忘恩負義,邪惡,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

無情,不饒人,中傷,不能自約,野蠻,不行善,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--

奸詐,任意妄為,自高自大,喜好愉悅不愛神-

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

貌似敬虔,卻輕看神的實力。要躲開這等人。

擺在我們面前的問題是:我們感化這些人,還是被他們同化。值得思考。其中,喜好愉悅不愛神,換言之,愛神,遠離一切愉悅。做得到嗎?有一種絕對的理論:你不快樂是因為你不以神為樂。另一種態度:健康的娛樂是應該有的。

(以弗所書1:5)

he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will--

神按自己的愉悅和意志,註定我們借著耶穌基督得兒子的名分,

神的愉悅是與人建立一種美好的親情關係。

(箴言21:17)

He who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich.

喜好愉悅,必致窮乏。好酒愛油,難以富足。

常言道:玩物喪志。一味追求玩樂,哪有時間求發展?不窮才怪!

(以西結書18:32)

For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!

至高主說:因為我不以任何人的死為樂,所以你們要悔改,才能得生!

神定義要挽救人。不然,廣傳福音的意義何在?

(提摩太前書5:6)

But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.

但尋歡作樂的寡婦,活著也是死。

寡婦應該做什麼?

若寡婦有子孫,他們要先學會照顧親人和報答長輩,將宗教信仰活學活用,從而討神喜悅。 那獨居無靠真為寡婦的人,仰賴神,晝夜不住地禱告,向神求助。

(以弗所書1:9)

And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

神照自己在基督裡所預定的美意,叫我們知道他旨意的奧秘;

渺小的人類在浩瀚的宇宙中,對無盡的奧秘只了解冰山一角。然而,神樂意將種種奧秘啟示於自己的兒女。

(傳道書5:4)

When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.

向神發誓,就要身體力行,不可延誤。愚蠢不蒙悅納。起誓則行。

受洗歸於主耶穌基督,就是首要誓言。沒有行為的信仰是死的。

(詩篇147:10)

His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man;

他不在意馬力大,也不在意人的腿腳快。

11) the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

主要的是敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。

施洗約翰曾對眾人說:你們不要仗著自己是亞伯拉罕的後裔便有恃無恐。神會啟用地上的石頭成為亞伯拉罕的後裔。

言下之意:人靠自己,徒勞。

(以西結書18:23)

Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

至高主說:我以惡人的死為樂嗎 ?他們痛改前非而得生,難道我就不高興了嗎?

反覆講

(以西結書33:11)

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD , I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'

你曉諭他們說,主耶和華說,我指著我的永生起誓,我不喜悅惡人的死,只喜悅他們改邪歸正而活。轉身!離開你邪惡的道路!以色列家阿,你為什麼要死呢?

人之初,性本惡。誰不是惡人?但都有機會悔改,歸正。

(哈該書1:8)

Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the Lord.

上山取木料,建造這殿,讓我歡心,得到敬仰。」這是主說的。

舊約中的帳幕,新約時期的教會都是神的家。神鍾愛這個家。

(提多書3:3)

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

我們一度無知,悖逆,受迷惑,沉溺於私情和享樂,心存惡毒與嫉妒,被人恨,又彼此憎恨。

林林種種的無知,悖逆,均受迷惑造成,如人是猴子變來的。快活一天算一天。科學大於造物主。不承認神。

(路加福音8:14)

The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.

落在荊棘中的種子代表那些聽見的人,但是當他們走在路上的時候,他們被生活的煩惱、財富和快樂所窒息。他們還沒有成熟。

有人在教堂裡是信徒,出來與世人沒事麼兩樣。

(約伯記22:3)

What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous? What would he gain if your ways were blameless?

你若公義,全能者有什麼喜悅呢?如果你的行為是無可指摘的,他會得到什麼?

約伯受難,是因神與魔的較量所致。而前來安慰約伯的朋友始終堅持約伯有罪而遭天譴。他們認為約伯不可能公義,更談不上無可指責。

(詩篇5:4)

You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.

你絕不是喜好邪惡的神。惡人不能與你共存。

耶穌說:人要做光和鹽。光,驅散黑暗。鹽,抑惡揚善。

(詩篇51:18)

In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

隨你的美意使錫安興旺。建造耶路撒冷的城牆。

載恩山屢遭塗炭,聖城常常處在水深火熱之中。人的光景伴隨著種種劫難。我們要向神呼求復興。

(詩篇10:23)

A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom.

愚妄人以行惡為戲耍。明哲人卻以智慧為樂。

玩樂導致貧窮,智慧使人興旺。戲子不能救國。科技才能振興中華。
