一首亞哈威的憐憫詩：天堂和地獄
作者：耶利米亞.喬丹 (Jeremiyah Jordan)
Who can measure the oceans?
誰能測量海洋？
Or count the stars in the sky?
誰能數算天空的繁星？
Who can weigh the earth with scales?
誰能用天平秤地球？
Or tell the sun to rise?
誰能吩咐太陽升起？
The mercy of YAHU'VAH is measureless
亞哈威的憐憫無法測度
No-one knows it's depth and height
沒人知道它的深度和高度
For through the cross of Calvary
藉著各各他的十字架
Our burdens become light
我們的擔子變得輕省
The road to Heaven is narrow
通往天國的道路是窄的
Not many will choose this path
沒有多少人會選擇這條小路
But popular is the wide road to Hell
但通往地獄的寬闊道路卻受人喜愛
That leads to eternal wrath
那是引向永恆忿怒的道路
This world entices with it's pleasures
這個世界以它的快樂為誘惑
so many sins to choose
那麼多的罪可供選擇
the newspapers make so much money
各類報刊從售賣他們的壞消息中
from selling their bad news
賺取了這麼多的金錢
The devil laughs as souls descend
惡魔在嘲笑當靈魂落入
into the pit of Hell
地獄的深坑
He knows that there is no return
牠知道那是一條不歸路
He knows this all too well
牠太了解這一切了
You don't know when your life will end
你不知道自己的生命何時結束
So don't live regretting your past
所以不要活著後悔你的過去
For YAHU'SHUA cannot save you
因為亞呼贖阿不能救你
When you breathe your last
當你呼吸最後一口氣時
Now is the hour of Salvation
現在就是拯救的時刻
For your sins YAHU'SHUA died
亞呼贖阿為你的罪死了
Accept HIS blood sacrifice on the cross
接受祂在十字架上獻祭的寶血
And know HIS cleansing from wickedness inside
知道祂能潔淨你內心的邪惡
The blood of YAHU'SHUA covers our sins
亞呼贖阿的寶血遮蓋了我們的罪孽
And washes them all away
把它們都洗淨了
What once was black is white as snow
曾經的黑色已白如雪
What once was night is brightest day

Heaven is a place of joy

There will be no more sin

Perfection will be evermore

In everyone and everything
在每個人和每件事裡
Do not let the devil steal

Your soul from such a place

For every time you wink at sin
因為你每次姑息罪
He is laughing in your face
牠就當面嘲笑你
No sin is worth the torment of Hell
沒有任何罪值得受地獄的折磨
Where the worm never dies
那裡蟲永遠不死
Your conscience will keep reminding you
你的良知會一直提醒你
That you made the choice to compromise
你曾作出了妥協的選擇
Hell is forever - NO ESCAPE,
地獄是永恆的—沒有逃離之路，
The fire never goes out
那裡的火永遠不會熄滅
For all eternity you will hear
你將永遠聽到
Millions of souls scream and shout
億萬的靈魂尖叫聲和哭喊聲
What possible reason could you have,
你有什麼樣的理由，
To turn the Saviour down?
能拒絕救世主？
To say, "No thanks - not today"
說：「不，謝謝—今天不行」
But in your sins continue to drown
但繼續被你自己的罪淹沒
YAHU'VAH's terrible judgement is coming soon
亞哈威可畏的審判很快就要臨到
And it has already begun
現在已經開始了
How will you escape HIS wrath
你怎能逃脫祂的忿怒？
If you reject HIS Son?
如果你拒絕祂的兒子
There is only one way to YAHU'VAH
只有一條通往亞哈威的道路
YAHU'SHUA is the way
亞呼贖阿就是那條道路
But you will die in the depths of your sins
但你會死在自己深重的罪孽中
If you choose to delay and delay
如果你選擇延遲再延遲
Whatever chains are holding you prisoner
無論有什麼鎖鏈在拘禁著你
YAHU'SHUA has the master key
亞呼贖阿有萬能的鑰匙
Turn from your sins and believe upon HIM
轉離你的罪，並信靠祂
And HE will set you free
祂會釋放你得自由
