如果你今天刚开始收听我们的节目，

4. we are in the second half of Psalm 14.
我们要讲的是诗篇第14篇的下半部分。

5. In the last message,
在上一讲的信息中，

6. we discussed the inevitable chaos which comes immediately before God’s judgment.
我们讲到神的审判就要来临之前，必然会出现一片乱象。

7. We learned that God allowed David to peer into His heavenly courts;
当神允许大卫窥见天堂法庭以后；

8. and, then, David begins to understand the need for God’s judgment.
大卫就开始明白，神的审判有其必要性。

9. I asked you to imagine a courtroom with God as the Judge,
上次我请你想象一下，在那个法庭中，神作为大法官，

10. and mankind as the accused.
而人类是被告。

11. The Bible said that fools are those who deny God;
圣经中说，愚顽人拒绝神；

12. and, one day, these people will stand in judgment before God;
有一天，这些人将站在神的面前接受审判；

13. so, we come to the time in the court case where the accusation sticks to the accused.
那一时刻，在法庭上，被告遭到了指控。

14. Here, we see the summons has been vindicated.
指控已被证实了。

15. Here, we see the witness to be impeccable.
证人是无可挑剔的。

16. We see the evidence to be overwhelming.
证据是不可辩驳的。

17. Those who have depraved minds are willful and deliberate in their choice;
那些灵魂堕落的人，他们的选择是经过深思熟虑的；

18. and Paul supports this, both in Romans, Chapter 1 and Chapter 3.
保罗在罗马书1章和3章中都证明了这一点。

19. He said the evidences of God’s presence are everywhere in creation;
他说，神存在的证据在祂的创造中随处可见；

20. but man, in his depravity,
而人，因为堕落的缘故，

21. has refused to see God, let alone obey God and worship God;
拒绝相信神，更不用说顺服和敬拜神了；

22. so, you see the heavenly summons.
好，你已经明白了天堂的传讯。

23. Now, I want you to see the heavenly summation.
现在我想让你来看看天堂的结案陈词。

24. It is found in verse 4 of Psalm 14.

25. I don’t want you to miss this, my listening friend.
我亲爱的朋友，在这里请你特别留意。

26. When we talk about the justice of God and the judgment of God,

34. “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?”
作孽的都没有知识吗？

35. The word for "iniquity" that is used is the same word used in the Old Testament to denote Israel’s perversion.
“作孽”这个词与旧约中形容以色列人的败坏是同一个词。

36. What was Israel’s perversion?
那么以色列人的败坏是指什么呢？

37. Israel angered God by bowing to Him only on the Sabbath;
他们惹动神的怒气是因为，以色列人只在安息日敬拜祂；

38. but, for the rest of the week, they were bowing to Baal.
他们在其他的时候所拜的是巴力。

39. That was Israel’s perversion.
这就是以色列人的败坏。

40. That’s the idolatry.

46. and, then, they bow to money for the rest of the week;
而平时他们所拜的是金钱；

47. and, so, the summation of the heavenly court is given;
天堂法庭的审讯已作出总结；

48. and it sets the stage for the coming judgment;

53. That is the sentence.
这就是判决。

54. “Fear and dread will be their life’s companion.”

因为没人能救自己。

57. No one will have an excuse,

58. because no one can placate themselves from God’s judgment.
没人能让自己在神的审判中自圆其说。

59. No one can stand in his or her own defense,

60. because there is no one who can stand in another person’s defense;
