28. 先知尔撒
28. Prophet Isa
安拉宣布祂没有儿子
Allah Declares He Has No Son
《古兰经》中有许多节经文,真主至高无上,否认了基督徒所宣称的真主有子嗣之说。
In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an Allah the Exalted denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son.
一支来自奈季兰的代表团来到先知穆罕默德ﷺ面前。他们开始谈论他们关于三位一体的主张,即真主是三位一体的,圣父、圣子和圣灵,他们的教派之间也存在一些分歧。因此,真主在《古兰经》的许多经文中确证,耶稣是真主的仆人,真主像造化其他任何受造物一样,在他母亲的子宫中塑造了他,并且真主让他没有父亲而被创造,正如真主创造亚当时既没有父亲也没有母亲。全能的真主选定尔撒作为他派往人类的使者之一。
A delegation from Nagran came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah affirmed in many verses of the Qur'an that Jesus is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Adam without a father or a mother. Almighty Allah had chosen Isa to be one of his messengers to humanity.
玛利亚的诞生——古兰经中的记载
The Birth of Mary - Quranic
安拉至大者说:
Allah the Almighty said:
安拉拣选了阿丹、努哈、易卜拉欣的家族和伊姆兰的家族,使他们超越了世界的众人(即他们那个时代的人类和精灵)。他们是彼此相承的后裔,安拉是全听的,全知的。
"Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran above the Alamin (mankind and jinns)(of their times). Offspring, one of theo other, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
{记得当时伊姆兰的妻子说:"我的主啊!我已把我腹中的胎儿奉献给你,使他专为你的事业而献身(免除一切世俗事务,服务于你的礼拜场所),求你从我这里接受它。你确是全聆者,全知者。"当她生下她(女孩玛利亚)时,她说:"我的主啊!我生下了一个女孩。"——安拉最知道她所生的是什么——"男孩不像女孩。我给她取名玛利亚,我把她和她的后代交托于你,求你保佑她们免受被逐的恶魔的侵害。"}
Remember when the wife of Imran said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All Knowing." Then when she delivered her (child Mary), she said: "O my Lord! I have delivered a female child," and Allah knew better what she delivered, - "and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Satan, the outcast."
玛丽的给养——古兰经中的记载
Mary's Sustenance - Quranic
于是她的主(安拉)以美好的方式接纳了她,使她以良好的方式成长,并让她由撒迦利亚抚养。每当他进入米哈拉布(即祈祷之所或私室)时,总会发现她那里有给养。
So her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zechariah. Every time he entered Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), he found her supplied with sustenance.
正如安拉在光荣的《古兰经》中所述:
As Allah recounted in the Glorious Quran:
她说:"这是从真主那里来的。真主确实无限量地供给他所意欲的人。"(《古兰经》3:37)
She said: "From Allah. Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit." (Ch 3:37 Quran)
玛丽的家族史
Mary's Family History
安拉宣布祂已经拣选了阿丹(愿主赐其平安)以及他那些顺服安拉的优秀后裔。
Allah declared that He had elected Adam (pbuh) and the elite of his offspring who obey Allah.
然后,祂特别提到了易卜拉欣的家族,其中包括易司马仪的儿子们,以及玛利亚之父欧姆兰的家族。
Then He specified the family of Abraham (pbuh), which includes the sons of Ishmael (pbuh), and the family of Imran, the father of Mary.
穆罕默德·伊本·伊斯哈格记载说,他是伊姆兰·伊本·巴希姆、伊本·阿蒙、伊本·米沙、伊本·霍斯基亚、伊本·阿赫里克、伊本·穆萨姆、伊本·阿扎齐亚、伊本·阿米萨、伊本·雅米什、伊本·阿赫里胡、伊本·亚兹姆、伊本·雅赫法沙特、伊本·埃伊沙、伊本·伊亚姆、伊本·拉赫巴阿姆、伊本·大卫(达五德)。
Muhammad Ibn Ishaaq stated that he was Imran Ibn Bashim, Ibn Amun, Ibn Misha, Ibn Hosqia, Ibn Ahriq, Ibn Mutham, Ibn Azazia, Ibn Amisa, Ibn Yamish, Ibn Ahrihu, Ibn Yazem, Ibn Yahfashat, Ibn Eisha, Ibn Iyam, Ibn Rahba am, Ibn David (Dawud).
玛利亚的诞生——较长版本
Mary's Birth - Longer Version
先知撒迦利亚(愿主赐福他)的妻子的姐妹有一个女儿,名叫罕娜。她嫁给了伊姆兰,他是以色列人的一位领袖。多年来,这对夫妇一直没有孩子。每当罕娜看到别的女人抱着孩子,她想要一个孩子的渴望就更加强烈。虽然岁月流逝,她却从未失去希望。她相信总有一天安拉会赐予她一个孩子,她将把所有的母爱都倾注在这个孩子身上。
Prophet Zakariyah's (pbuh) wife's sister had a daughter named Hannah. She was married to Imran, a leader of the Israelites. For many years, the couple remained childless. Whenever Hannah saw another woman with a child, her longing for a baby increased. Although years had passed, she never lost hope. She believed that one day Allah would bless her with a child, on whom she would shower all her motherly love.
她转向天地的主,恳求祂赐她一个孩子。她愿将这个孩子奉献给真主的殿,奉献于耶路撒冷的圣殿中侍奉。真主应允了她的祈求。当她得知自己怀孕时,她成了世上最快乐的女人,并感谢真主的恩赐。她那欣喜万分的丈夫伊姆兰也感谢真主的慈悯。
She turned to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and pleaded with Him for a child. She would offer the child in the service of Allah's house, in the temple of Jerusalem. Allah granted her request. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was the happiest woman alive, and thanked Allah for His gift. Her overjoyed husband Imran also thanked Allah for His mercy.
然而,就在她怀孕期间,她的丈夫去世了。哈娜悲痛欲绝。可惜,伊姆兰没有活到看见他们期盼已久的孩子。她生下一个女孩,于是再次向真主祈祷:
However, while she was pregnant her husband passed away. Hannah wept bitterly. Alas, Imran did not live to see their child for whom they had so longed. She gave birth to a girl, and again turned to Allah in prayer:
"我的主啊,我生下了一个女孩,"——而男孩不像女孩——"我给她取名为玛利亚,我为她和她的后代求庇护于你(安拉),使她们免受被驱逐的撒旦的侵害。"(《古兰经》3:36)
"O my Lord, I have delivered a female child," and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and her offspring from Satan, the outcast." (Ch 3:36 Quran)
撒迦利亚成为玛丽亚的监护人
Zechariah Becomes Mary's Guardian
汉娜对于她向真主许下的誓愿遇到了一个大难题,因为女性不被允许进入圣殿,她非常忧虑。她姐姐的丈夫宰凯里雅安慰她,说真主最清楚她所生的是什么,也充分理解她为侍奉祂所奉献的一切。她把婴儿裹在披巾里,交给了圣殿的长老们。由于这个婴儿是女孩,谁来担任她的监护人便成了长老们的难题。这是他们已故而备受敬爱的领袖的孩子,每个人都急于照顾她。宰凯里雅对长老们说:
Hannah had a big problem in reference to her promise to Allah, for females were not accepted into the temple, and she was very worried. Her sister's husband Zakariyah, comforted her, saying that Allah knew best what she had delivered and appreciated fully what she had offered in His service. She wrapped the baby in a shawl and handed it over to the temple elders. As the baby was a girl, the question of her guardianship posed a problem for the elders. This was a child of their late and beloved leader, and everyone was eager to take care of her. Zakariyah said to the elders:
"我是她姨母的丈夫,在圣殿中她是我最亲近的亲属;因此,我会比你们所有人更加照顾她。"由于他们的习俗是抽签来解决分歧,他们便照此行事。每人被给予一根芦苇投入河中,他们约定,谁的芦苇能浮在水面上,谁就获得照管这个女孩的监护权。结果所有芦苇都沉到了河底,只有撒迦利亚的芦苇浮了起来。
"I am the husband of her maternal aunt and her nearest relation in the temple; therefore, I will be more mindful of her than all of you." As it was their custom to draw lots to solve disagreements, they followed this course. Each one was given a reed to throw into the river. They had agreed that whoever's reed remained afloat would be granted guardianship of the girl. All the reeds sank to the bottom except Zakariyah's.
借此迹象,他们都顺服了安拉的旨意,并以他为监护人。
With this sign, they all surrendered to the will of Allah and made him the guardian.
玛利亚的崇高地位
Mary's High Status
为了确保没有人能接近玛利亚,撒迦利亚在圣殿里为她专门建了一间单独的房间。
To ensure that no one had access to Mary, Zakariyah built a separate room for her in the temple.
随着她渐渐长大,她把时间都用在对安拉的崇拜上。撒迦利亚每天来看望她,照料她的需要,这样持续了许多年。有一天,他惊讶地发现她房间里有不当季的新鲜水果。由于他是唯一能进入她房间的人,他便问她这些水果是从哪里来的。她回答说,这些供给来自安拉,因为祂赐予祂所意欲的人。撒迦利亚由此明白,安拉已将玛丽叶的地位提升到其他女性之上。
As she grew up, she spent her time in devotion to Allah. Zakariyah visited her daily to see to her needs, and so it continued for many years. One day, he was surprised to find fresh fruit, which was out of season in her room. As he was the only person who could enter her room, he asked her how the fruit got there. She replied that these provisions were from Allah, as He gives to whom He wills. Zakariyah understood by this that Allah had raised Mary's status above that of other women.
此后,撒迦利亚花更多的时间陪伴她,教导和引导她。玛利亚渐渐成为一位虔诚敬拜安拉的人,日夜赞颂祂。
Thereafter, Zakariyah spent more time with her, teaching and guiding her. Mary grew to be a devotee of Allah, glorifying Him day and night.
玛利亚的崇高地位——先知穆罕默德ﷺ
Mary's High Status - Prophet Muhammad
阿里·本·阿比·塔利卜传述:先知穆罕默德ﷺ说:"世界上最好的女人是玛丽叶(在她的时代),世界上最好的女人是海蒂彦(在她的时代)。"(《萨希赫·布哈里》)
Ali Ibn Abi Talib narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "The best of the world's women is Mary (in her lifetime), and the best of the world's women is Khadija (in her lifetime)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
艾卜·穆萨·艾什尔里还叙述道:先知穆罕默德ﷺ说:"男人中有许多人达到了完美,但女人中除了伊姆兰的女儿麦尔彦和法老的妻子阿西娅之外,没有人达到完美。阿伊莎相对于其他女人的优越,就像塞里德(一种阿拉伯食物)相对于其他食物的优越。"
Abu Musa Al-Ashari also narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "May among men attained perfection but among women none attained perfection except Mary the daughter of Imran, and Asiya the wife of Pharaoh, and the superiority of Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (an Arabic dish) to other meals."
玛利亚接到耶稣的喜讯
Mary Receives News of Jesus
当玛丽在她的圣殿中祈祷时,一位化作人形的天使出现在她面前。她满心恐惧,试图逃离,并祈祷道:
While Mary was praying in her temple, an angel in the form of a man appeared before her. Filled with terror, she tried to flee, praying:
"我实在以至仁主(安拉)为庇护,求你不要侵犯我,如果你是敬畏主的人。"天使说:"我只是你主派来的使者,要赐你一个纯洁的儿子。"她说:"我没有丈夫接触过我,我也不是淫乱的人,我怎么会有儿子呢?"他说:"事情就是这样,你的主说:'这对我(安拉)来说是容易的。'我们要使他成为世人的迹象和我(安拉)所赐的恩惠,这是已经注定的事。"(《古兰经》19:18-21)
"Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah." The angel said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son." She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?" He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: "That is easy for me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).'" (Ch 19:18-21 Quran)
耶稣的诞生
The Birth of Jesus
天使的来访让玛丽感到极度焦虑,随着月份一天天过去,这份焦虑愈加强烈。她怎能在没有丈夫的情况下面对分娩、生下一个孩子呢?后来,她感觉到腹中有生命在踢动。
The angel's visit caused Mary great anxiety, which increased as the months went by. How could she face giving birth to a child without having a husband? Later, she felt life kicking inside her.
她怀着沉重的心情离开了圣殿,前往拿撒勒。那是她出生的城市,她在那里一座简朴的农舍安顿下来,以避开世人的注目。
With a heavy heart, she left the temple and went to Nazareth, the city in which she had been born where she settled in a simple farm house to avoid the public.
但是,恐惧与焦虑并未离开她。她出身于一个高贵而虔诚的家庭。她的父亲并不是恶人,她的母亲也不是不贞洁的女人。她要如何阻止人们对她的名誉说三道四呢?
But fear and anxiety did not leave her. She was from a noble and pious family. Her father had not been an evil man nor was her mother an impure woman. How could she prevent tongues from wagging about her honor?
几个月过去后,她再也承受不住内心的煎熬。她身怀重孕,离开了拿撒勒,却不知该往何处去,只求能远离这压抑的环境。
After some months, she could not bear the mental strain any longer. Burdened with a heavy womb, she left Nazareth, not knowing where to go to be away from this depressing atmosphere.
她还没有走多远,便感到了分娩的阵痛。她靠着一棵干枯的棕榈树坐下,就在这里生下了一个儿子。看着她美丽的婴儿,她却因为自己把他带到世上却没有父亲而痛心。她喊道:"但愿我在这件事发生之前就死去,消失得无影无踪!"忽然,她听到附近有一个声音:"不要忧伤,你的主已在你下方造出了一条小溪。你摇一摇这棵树的树干,成熟的椰枣就会掉落下来。所以你吃吧,喝吧,恢复你失去的体力;并且要宽心,因为你所看到的,是真主的大能,是祂使这棵干枯的棕榈树重新获得生机,为你提供食物。"她因真主的奇迹而得到了一时的安慰,因为这是她清白与纯洁的确凿证据。
She had not gone far, when she was overtaken by the pains of childbirth. She saw down against a dry palm tree, and here she gave birth to a son. Looking at her beautiful baby, she was hurt that she had brought him into the world without a father. She exclaimed: "I wish I had died before this happened and had vanished into nothingness!" Suddenly, she heard a voice nearby: "Grieve not, your Lord has placed a rivulet below, and shake the trunk of this tree, from which ripe dates will fall. So eat and drink and regain the strength you have lost; and be of good cheer, for what you see is the power of Allah, Who made the dry palm tree regain life, in order to provide food for you." For a while she was comforted by Allah's miracle, for it was a sure sign of her innocence and purity.
玛利亚带着耶稣返回城中
Mary Returns to the City with Jesus
玛丽决定返回城里。然而,她的恐惧也随之回来了。她要怎样向人们解释呢?仿佛分担了母亲的忧虑,婴儿开口说话了:"如果你遇见任何人,就说:"
Mary decided to return to the city. However, her fears also returned. What was she going to tell the people? As if sharinhis mother's worry, the baby began to speak: "If you meet any person say:
"我已向至仁主许下斋戒的誓愿,今天不能与任何人说话。"有了这个奇迹,玛丽亚心中安定了下来。
'I have vowed to fast for The Beneficent and may not speak to any human today.'" With this miracle, Mary felt at ease.
正如她所预料的,她抱着新生的婴儿来到城里,引起了人们的好奇。他们责备她说:"你犯下了可怕的罪孽。"她把手指放在唇边,指了指孩子。他们问道:"我们怎么能跟一个新生婴儿说话呢?"令他们完全意外的是,孩子竟清楚地开口说话:"我是安拉的仆人。安拉赐给我经典,使我成为先知,无论我在何处都使我蒙受祝福,并在我有生之年命我拜功和施天课。安拉使我孝敬生我的母亲,没有使我骄傲自大,也没有使我不蒙福佑。愿平安降临我诞生的那天,我死去的那天,以及我被复活的那天。"大多数人意识到这个婴儿是非同寻常的,因为安拉若欲成就某事,只需说一声"有",它便会成为现实。当然,也有一些人把婴儿的话语视为一种奇怪的把戏,但至少,玛利亚此后可以留在拿撒勒,不再受到骚扰。
As she had expected, her arrival in the city with a newborn baby in her arms aroused the curiosity of the people. They scolded her: "This is a terrible sin that you have committed." She put her finger to her lips and pointed to the child. They asked: "How can we speak to a newborn baby?" To their total amazement, the child began to speak clearly: "I am Allah's servant. Allah has given me the Book, and has made me a prophet, and has blessed me wherever I may be, and has enjoined on me prayers and alms-giving as long as I live. Allah has made me dutiful towards she who had borne me. He has not made me arrogant nor unblessed. Peace unto me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive." Most of the people realized that the baby was unique, for it Allah wills something, He merely says "Be" and it happens. Of course, there were some who regarded the baby's speech as a strange trick, but at least Mary could now stay in Nazareth without being harassed.
玛利亚得知耶稣的喜讯——古兰经篇
Mary Receives News of Jesus - Quranic
安拉至高者降示:
Allah the Exalted revealed:
"你应当在经典中提及麦尔彦的故事(穆罕默德啊,这是《古兰经》中的记载):她离开家人,独自退隐到东方的一处地方。她在他们与自己之间设了一道帷幕;然后我派我的精神(天使加百列)到她那里,他在她面前显现为一个完全像人的形象。"
"And mention in the Book (the Qur'an, O Muhammad, the story of) Mary, when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh (angel Gabriel), and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.
她说:"我实在求至仁主(安拉)保护我,免受你的侵害,如果你是敬畏主的人。"天使说:"我只是你主派来的使者,要赐给你一个纯净的儿子。"她说:"我没有丈夫碰过我,我也不是淫乱的人,我怎么会有儿子呢?"天使说:"事情就是这样,你的主说:'这对我(安拉)是容易的;我们要使他成为世人的一种迹象,和我们(安拉)所施的一种恩慈。这是已经注定的事。'"(第19章:16-21节)
She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah." The angel said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son." She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?" He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: "That is easy for Me (Allah): and (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).'" (Ch. 19: 16-21)
耶稣的诞生——《古兰经》所述
The Birth of Jesus - Quranic
于是她怀了他,便带着他退到一个遥远的地方(伯利恒山谷,离耶路撒冷约四到六英里)。分娩的阵痛把她逼到一棵棕榈树的树干旁。她说:"但愿我在此之前就死了,被人遗忘,不为人知!"这时,(婴孩"耶稣"或加百列)从她的下方呼唤她说:"不要忧伤!你的主已在你脚下为你安排了一条溪水;你摇动棕榈树的树干,它会向你落下新鲜成熟的椰枣。你就吃,喝,安心吧。如果你看见任何人,就说:'我已经向至仁主(安拉)许下封斋的誓言,今天我不与任何人说话。'"(第19章:22-26节)
So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (Bethlehem valley, about four to six miles from Jerusalem). And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said: "Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!" Then (the babe "Jesus" or Gabriel) cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve not! Your Lord has provided you a water stream under you; and shake the trunk of palm tree towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink and be glad, and if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day.'" (Ch. 19: 22-26)
玛丽与耶稣回到城中——古兰经篇
Mary and Jesus Return to the City - Quranic
然后她抱着他(婴儿)回到她的族人那里。他们说:"玛利亚啊!你确实带来了一件骇人听闻的事(一件前所未有的巨大事情)。哈伦的妹妹啊!你的父亲并不是一个作恶的人,你的母亲也不是一个不贞的女人。"于是她指向婴儿。他们说:"我们怎能与一个仍在摇篮里的婴孩说话呢?"他(耶稣)说:"我确实是安拉的仆人。祂赐给我经典,并使我成为先知;无论我身在何处,祂都使我受赐福,并命我拜功和天课,只要我活着就如此;祂使我孝顺我的母亲,没有使我成为骄傲、不幸的人。愿平安降临于我,在我诞生的那天、我死去的那天,以及我被复活的那天!"(第19章:27-33节)
"Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: "O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariyya (an unheard mighty thing). O sister (the like) of Aaron (not the brother of Moses, but he was another pious man at the time of Mary)! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor was your mother an unchaste woman." Then she pointed to him. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?" He (Jesus) said: "Verily! I am a slave of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet; and He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined me prayer, and Zakat, as long as I live, and dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest. And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!" (Ch. 19:27 - 33)
安拉关于耶稣的启示——古兰经
Allah's Message About Jesus - Quranic
这就是麦尔彦之子尔撒。这是关于真理的话语,他们对此有所怀疑(或争执)。安拉不应有子嗣——这是指基督徒对安拉的诽谤,他们说尔撒是安拉之子。赞颂安拉超绝万物(他超越他们所以为的伙伴)。他欲成就一件事时,只对它说:"有!"它就有了。
Such is Jesus, son of Mary. (It is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute). It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son (this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that Jesus is the son of Allah). Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" - and it is.
耶稣说:"的确,真主是我的主,也是你们的主。所以你们当崇拜祂(唯独崇拜祂)。这就是正路。(这是真主为祂所有的先知所制定的伊斯兰一神信仰)。"之后,各派便产生了分歧(基督徒关于耶稣的看法),所以那些不信道者(那些作伪证、称耶稣是真主之子的人)有祸了,因为他们将遭遇重大日子的降临(即复活日,那时他们将被投入烈火之中)。
Jesus said: "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." Then the sects differed (the Christians about Jesus), so woe unto the disbeliveers (those who gave false witness saying that Jesus is the son of Allah) from the meeting of a great Day (the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).
他们(即以物配主者和不信安拉独一者)在他们将被召到我面前的那一日,将看得何等清楚,听得何等明白!但今日,不义者(即以物配主者和作恶者)正处于明显的迷误之中。你(穆罕默德ﷺ)应当警告他们遭受忧伤和悔恨的那一日,那时事情已经判定,而他们现在仍处于疏忽之中,并且不信。
How clearly will they (polytheists and disbeliveers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error. And warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while now they are in a state of carelessness and they believe not. (Ch 19:34-39 Quran)
关于玛利亚怀孕的一些故事
Some Stories About Mary's Pregnancy
据说,约瑟夫木匠得知此事后非常惊讶,于是问玛利亚:“树能够不靠种子生长吗?”她回答:“能,就是安拉最初创造的那棵树。”他又问:“女人能够不与男性结合而生育吗?”她说:“能,安拉创造了亚当,既无父亲也无母亲!” 还有传说,玛利亚怀孕期间,有一天去拜访她的姨母,姨母说她感觉自己怀孕了。玛利亚也说,她同样感觉自己怀孕了。于是姨母说:“我能看到我腹中的孩子正向你腹中的孩子叩拜。”
It was said that Joseph the Carpenter was greatly surprised when he knew the story, so he asked Mary: "Can a tree come to grow without a seed?" She said: "Yes, the one which Allah created for the first time." He asked her again: "Is it possible to bear a child without a male partner?" She said: "Yes, Allah, created Adam without male or female!" It was also said that, while pregnant, Mary went one day to her aunt, who reported that she felt as if she was pregnant. Mary in turn, said that she, too, was feeling as if she was pregnant. Then her aunt said: "I can see what is in my womb prostrating to what is in your womb."
耶稣激怒了犹太人
Jesus Upsets the Jews
犹太祭司们觉得这个孩子耶稣很危险,因为他们认为民众会将崇拜转向独一的至高真主,从而取代现存的犹太教信条。如此一来,他们将失去对民众的权威。因此,他们将耶稣在襁褓中开口说话的神迹隐瞒起来,并指控玛利亚犯下了重大的罪行。
The Jewish priests felt this child Jesus was dangerous, for they felt that the people would turn their worship to Allah the Almighty Alone, displacing the existing Jewish tenets. Consequently, they would lose their authority over the people. Therefore, they kept the miracle of Jesus's speech in infancy as a secret and accused Mary of a great misdeed.
耶稣的辩论能力
Jesus's Ability to Debate
随着耶稣(愿主赐他平安)渐渐长大,先知的迹象也开始增多。他能告诉朋友们家里等待他们的是什么样的晚餐,以及他们藏了什么东西、藏在何处。他十二岁时,陪同母亲前往耶路撒冷。在那里,他走进圣殿,加入了聆听拉比(犹太教祭司)讲授的人群。听众都是成年人,但他并不害怕与他们一同坐下。他专心聆听之后,便提出问题,并表达了自己的看法。博学的拉比们对这个男孩的大胆感到不安,也对他提出的问题感到困惑,因为他们无法回答。他们试图让他闭嘴,但他不理会他们的企图,继续表达自己的观点。耶稣沉浸于这场交流之中,以至于忘记了他本该回家。
As Jesus (pbuh) grew, the signs of prophethood began to increase. He could tell his friends what kind of supper waited for them at home and what they had hidden and where. When he was twelve years old, he accompanied his mother to Jerusalem. There he wandered into the temple and joined a crowd listening to the lecture of the Rabbis (Jewish priests). The audience were all adults, but he was not afraid to sit with them. After listening intently, he asked questions and expressed his opinion. The learned rabbis were disturbed by the boy's boldness and puzzled by the questions he asked, for they were unable to answer him. They tried to silence him, but he ignored their attempts and continued to express his views. Jesus became so involved in this exchange that he forgot he as expected back home.
与此同时,他的母亲回家了,以为他可能是跟亲戚或朋友一起回去了。她到家时,发现他不在那里,于是又返回城里去找他。最后,她在圣殿里找到了他,他正坐在学者们中间与他们交谈。他看起来十分自在,仿佛一生都在做这件事。玛丽为他让她担心而生气。他试图向她保证,与学者们的争辩和讨论让他忘记了时间。
In the meantime, his mother went home, thinking that he might have gone back with relatives or friends. When she arrived, she discovered that he was not there, so she returned to the city to look for him. At last she found him in the temple, sitting among the learned, conversing with them. He appeared to be quite at east, as if he had been doing this all his life. Mary got angry with him for causing her worry. He tried to assure her that all the arguing and debating with the learned had made him forgot the time.
耶稣不守安息日
Jesus Does Not Observe the Sabbath
耶稣长大成人。当时正值安息日,这是一个完全休息的日子:不可生火或灭火,女子也不可编发。穆萨(愿主赐福并保佑他)曾命令将星期六专门用于崇拜安拉。然而,安息日背后的智慧与精神已经消失,只剩下文字留在犹太人的心中。此外,他们还认为安息日在天上也要遵守,并且以色列的后裔被安拉拣选,只是为了遵守安息日。
Jesus grew up to manhood. It was Sabbath, a day of complete rest: no fire could be lit or extinguished nor could females plait their hair. Moses (pbuh) had commanded that Saturday be dedicated to the worship of Allah. However, the wisdom behind the Sabbath and its spirit had gone, and only the letter remained in the Jews' hearts. Also, they thought that Sabbath was kept in heaven, and that the People of Israel had been chosen by Allah only to observe the Sabbath.
他们在安息日禁止了一百件事,甚至包括自卫,或为挽救病情危重的病人而请医生。他们的生活因这种伪善而蒙上了污名。法利赛人本是律法的守护者,但一旦涉及自身利益、为了谋取私利,他们便愿意出卖律法。例如,有一条规定禁止在安息日行走超过一千码。在这种情况下,我们能指望法利赛人怎样呢?前一天,他们把食物和饮水从两千码外的家中搬运过去,并搭起一座临时的房屋,以便在安息日又能再多走一千码。
They made a hundred things unlawful on Saturday even self-defense or calling a doctor to save a patient who was in bad condition. This is how their life was branded by such hypocrisy. Although the Pharisees were guardians of the law, they were ready to sell it when their interests were involved so as to obtain personal gains. There was, for example, a rule which prohibited a journey of more than one thousand yards on the Sabbath day. What do we expect of the Pharisees in this case? The day before, they transferred their food and drink from their homes two thousand yards away and erected a temporary house so that from tthey could travel a further thousand yards on the Sabbath day.
耶稣在前往圣殿的路上。虽然那天是安息日,他还是伸手摘了两个果子,去喂一个饥饿的孩子。这被认为违反了安息日的律法。他又为一些老妇人生火,使她们在刺骨的寒气中保暖。又一次违反了律法。他走进圣殿,环顾四周。那里登记在册的犹太祭司有两万人,他们都靠圣殿谋生。圣殿的各个房间里挤满了他们。
Jesus was on his way to the temple. Although it was the Sabbath, he reached out his hand to pick two pieces of fruit to feed a hungry child. This was considered to be a violation of the Sabbath law. He made a fire for the old women to keep themselves warm from the freezing air. Another violation. He went to the temple and looked around. There were twenty thousand Jewish priests registered there who earned their living from the temple. The rooms of he temple were full of them.
耶稣领受先知的使命
Jesus Receives His Prophethood
耶稣注意到,前来朝拜的人远少于祭司。然而圣殿里摆满了羊和鸽子,这些牲畜被卖给人们,用作献祭。圣殿里的每一步都要让进殿的人付钱。他们除了金钱什么都不崇拜。在圣殿中,法利赛人和撒都该人把这里当作集市,而这两派人在任何事情上总是意见相左。耶稣目睹这一幕,留意到那些付不起羊或鸽子价钱的穷人,被法利赛人和撒都该人像苍蝇一样驱赶出去。耶稣十分惊讶。为什么祭司们在圣殿内焚烧大量祭品,而成千上万的穷人却在殿外挨饿?
Jesus observed that the visitors were much fewer than the priests. Yet the temple was full of sheep and doves which were sold to the people to be offered as sacrifices. Every step in the temple cost the visitor money. They worshipped nothing but money. In the temple, the Pharisees and Sadducees acted as if it were a market place, and these two groups always disagreed on everything. Jesus followed the scene with his eyes and observed that the poor people who could not afford the price of the sheep or dove were swept away like flies by the Pharisees and Saducees. Jesus was astonished. Why did the priests burn a lot of offerings inside the temple, while thousands of poor people were hungry outside it?
在这个蒙福的夜晚,两位尊贵的先知约翰和撒迦利亚died,被当权者杀害。同一夜,启示降临到耶稣身上。至高的真主命令他开始向以色列的子孙传达召唤。对耶稣而言,安逸的生活之门关闭了,而崇拜与奋斗的篇章被打开了。
On this blessed night, the two noble prophets John (pbuh) and Zakariyah (pbuh) died, killed by the ruling authority. On the same night, the revelation descended upon Jesus (pbuh). Allah the Exalted commanded him to begin his call to the children of Israel. To Jesus, the life of ease was closed, and the page of worship and struggled was opened.
耶稣的使命
Jesus's Message
犹如一股对立的力量,耶稣的使命降临,旨在谴责法利赛人的种种做法,并重申摩西的律法。面对一个崇尚奢华、崇拜黄金的物质主义时代,耶稣以言语和行为号召他的人民过一种更高尚的生活。这种以身作则的生活,是摆脱当时那个时代的困苦与疾病的唯一出路。耶稣的号召从一开始就以其完全的正直和虔诚为标志。它诉诸灵魂,诉诸内在的自我,而不是社会所制定的一套封闭的规条。
Like an opposing force, the message of Jesus came to denounce the practices of the Pharisees and to reinforce the Law of Moses. In the face of a materialistic age of luxury and worship of gold, Jesus called his people to a nobler life by word and deed. This exemplary life was the only way out of the wretchedness and diseases of his age. Jesus's call, from the beginning, was marked by its complete uprightness and piety. It appealed to the soul, the inner being, and not be a closed system of rules laid down by society.
耶稣继续召唤众人归向全能的安拉。他的召唤基于这样一条原则:造物主与祂的受造物之间不存在任何中介。然而,耶稣与犹太人对《讨拉》的表面化解释存在冲突。他说,他并非前来废除《讨拉》,而是要使其完备,即深入其精神实质,以抵达其本质。
Jesus continued inviting the people to Almighty Allah. His call was based on the principle that there is no mediation between the Creator and His creatures. However, Jesus was in conflict with the Jews' superficial interpretation of the Torah. He said that he did not come to abrogate the Torah, but to complete it by going to the spirit of its substance to arrive at its essence.
他让犹太人明白,十诫的价值远远超出了他们的想象。
He made the Jews understand that the Ten Commandments have more value than they imagined.
例如,第五条诫命不仅禁止身体上的杀人,也禁止一切形式的杀害,包括身体上的、心理上的和精神上的。第六条诫命禁止通奸,其含义也不只限于男女之间非法的身体接触,还禁止一切非法的关系或可能导致通奸的行为。眼睛若带着情欲去看任何事物,便是犯了奸淫。
For instance, the fifth commandment does not only prohibit physical killing, but all forms of killing; physical, psychological, or spiritual. And the sixth commandment does not prohibit adultery only in the sense of unlawful physical contact between a man and a woman, but also prohibits all forms of unlawful relations or acts that might lead to adultery. The eye commits adultery when it looks at anything with passion.
耶稣谴责唯物主义
Jesus Denounces Materialism
因此,耶稣与唯物主义的人们对立。他告诫他们要戒除伪善、炫耀和虚假的赞美。今生没有必要囤积财富。他们不应沉迷于这个短暂世界的财物;相反,他们必须专注于来世的事务,因为来世是永恒的。
Jesus was therefore in confrontation with the materialistic people. He told them to desist from hypocrisy, show and false praise. There was no need to hoard wealth in this life. They should not preoccupy themselves with the goods of this passing world; rather they must preoccupy themselves with the affairs of the coming world because it would be everlasting.
耶稣告诉他们,过分关心今世是一种罪过,不适合虔诚的敬拜者。不信道者之所以关心今世,是因为他们不知道更好的道路。至于信道者,他们知道自己的给养在安拉那里,所以他们依靠安拉,并轻视今世。
Jesus told them that caring for this world is a sin, not fit for pious worshippers. The disbeliveers care for it because they do not know a better way. As for the believers, they know that their sustenance is with Allah, so they trust in Him and scorn this world.
耶稣继续邀请人们崇拜独一无二、没有伙伴的主,正如他邀请人们净化心灵与灵魂一样。
Jesus continued to invite people to worship the Only Lord, Who is without partner, just as he invited them to purify the heart and soul.
犹太祭司试图使耶稣难堪
Jewish Priests Try to Embarrass Jesus
他的教导激怒了祭司们,因为耶稣的每一句话,对他们和他们的地位都构成威胁,揭露了他们的恶行。
His teaching annoyed the priests, for every word of Jesus was a threat to them and their position, exposing their misdeeds.
罗马占领者起初并无介入犹太人这一宗教纷争的打算,因为这被视为内部事务;他们认为,这场争论会使犹太人的注意力从占领问题上转移开。
The Roman occupiers had, at first, no intention of being involved in this religious discord of the Jews because it was an internal affair, and they saw that this dispute would distract the Jews from the question of the occupation.
然而,祭司们开始密谋对付耶稣。他们想让他难堪,并证明他是来废除摩西律法的。摩西律法规定,通奸的妇人应当被用石头打死。他们带来一个犹太通奸妇人,问耶稣说:"律法不是规定通奸的妇人应当被石头打死吗?"耶稣回答:"是的。"他们说:"这个女人是通奸的。"耶稣看了看那妇人,然后看了看祭司们。他知道他们比她更有罪。他们同意应当按照摩西律法处死她,并且他们明白,如果他要执行摩西律法,他就会推翻自己宽恕和怜悯的原则。
However, the priests started to plot against Jesus. They wanted to embarrass him and to prove that he had come to destroy the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law provides that an adulteress be stoned to death. They brought him a Jewish adulteress and asked Jesus: "Does not the law stipulate the stoning of the adulteress?" Jesus answered: "Yes." They said: "This woman is an adulteress." Jesus looked at the woman and then at the priests. He knew that they were more sinful than she. They agreed that she should be killed according to Mosaic Law, and they understood that if he was going to apply Mosaic Law, he would be destroying his own rules of forgiveness and mercy.
耶稣看穿了他们的阴谋。他微笑着表示同意,说:"你们中间谁没有罪,谁就可以用石头打她。"他的声音在圣殿中间响起,制定了一条关于通奸的新律法:由无罪之人来审判罪行。在场没有一人有资格;凡人无法审判罪,只有至慈的真主才能审判。
Jesus understood their plan. He smiled and assented: "Whoever among you is sinless can stone her." His voice rose in the middle of the Temple, making a new law on adultery, for the sinless to judge sin. There was none eligible; no mortal can judge sin, only Allah the Most Merciful.
当耶稣离开圣殿时,那名妇人跟随着他。她从衣袍中取出一瓶香水,跪在他的脚前,用香水和眼泪为他洗脚,然后用自己的头发擦干他的脚。耶稣转向那妇人,叫她起来,并说:"主啊,求你赦免她的罪。"他借此让祭司们明白,那些呼吁人们归向安拉的人并非刽子手。他的呼吁建立在对众人的怜悯之上,而怜悯正是一切天启呼吁的宗旨。
As Jesus left the temple, the woman followed him. She took out a bottle of perfume from her garments, knelt before his feet and washed them with perfume and tears, and then dried his feet with her hair. Jesus turned to the woman and told her to stand up, adding: "O Lord, forgive her sins." He let the priests understand that those who call people to Almighty Allah are not executioners. His call was based on mercy for the people, the aim of all divine calls.
耶稣使死者复活
Jesus' Brings the Dead to Life
耶稣继续为他的子民向真主祈求怜悯,并教导他的子民彼此怜悯,信仰真主。
Jesus continued to pray to Allah for mercy on his people and to teach his people to have mercy on one another and to believe in Allah.
耶稣在神迹的帮助下继续他的使命。一些古兰经注释学者说,耶稣使四个人从死里复活:他的一位朋友名叫阿扎姆,一位老妇人的儿子,以及一位女子的独生女。这三人都是在耶稣在世期间去世的。犹太人看到这些情景后说:"你只能让刚死不久的人复活;也许他们只是昏过去了。"他们请求他让诺亚的儿子萨姆复活。
Jesus continued his mission, aided by divine miracles. Some Qur'anic commentators said that Jesus brought four people back from the dead: a friend of his named Al-Azam, an old woman's son, and a woman's only daughter. These three had died during his lifetime. When the Jews saw this they said: "You only resurrect those who have died recently; perhaps they only fainted." They asked him to bring back to life Sam the Ibn Noah.
当他请求众人带他去看自己的坟墓时,众人陪他来到墓地。耶稣祈求至高无上的真主使他复活,结果,挪亚之子萨姆从坟墓中走出,头发已经花白。耶稣问道:"你的头发为何变白了?在你那个年代并没有衰老的现象啊。"他回答说:"灵魂的主啊,我以为复活日已经到来;因为对那一天的恐惧,我的头发才变白了。"
When he asked them to show him his grave, the people accompanied him there. Jesus invoked Allah the Exalted to bring him back to life and behold, Sam the Ibn Noah came out from the grave gray-haired. Jesus asked: "how did you get gray hair, when there was no aging in your time?" He answered: "O Spirit of Allah, I thought that the Day of Resurrection had come; from the fear of that day my hair turned gray."
耶稣的奇迹——古兰经的记述
The Miracles of Jesus - Quranic
安拉至大者说:
Allah the Almighty said:
"当真主(在复活日)说:'麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你应当记念我赐予你和你母亲的恩典:当时我以圣灵(吉卜利勒)扶助你,使你在摇篮里和成年后都能与人说话;我教你书写、智慧、讨拉特和引支勒;你用泥土照着鸟的形状捏成一只鸟,经我允许,你向它吹气,它便经我允许成为一只鸟;你经我允许医好生来的盲人和麻风病人,经我允许使死人复活;当你带着明证来到以色列的后裔中间时,我阻止了他们加害你,而他们中不信道的人说:这只是明显的魔术。'当我启示门徒相信我和我的使者时,他们说:'我们信了,请你作证,我们是顺从的穆斯林。'"(古兰经 5:110-111)"
"Remember when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My Favor to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus (Gabriel) so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Torah and the Gospel; and when you made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) since you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbeliveers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'" And when I (Allah) put in their hearts of the disciples (of Jesus) to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: "We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims." (Ch 5:110-111 Quran)
耶稣的神迹与门徒——《古兰经》中的记载
Jesus' Abilities and the Disciples - Quranic
至能的真主也启示道:
Almighty Allah also revealed:
“且(真主)将教导他(耶稣)经典与智慧(即圣训、先知们无误的言论、智慧等),以及《讨拉特》和《引支勒》。”
"And He Allah will teach him (Jesus) the Book and Al Hikmah (the Sunna, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom, etc.), (and) the Torah and the Gospel.
并且使他(耶稣)成为以色列后裔的使者(说):"我已从你们的主那里带来一个迹象,我要为你们用泥土捏成鸟的形状,然后向其中吹气,它便凭真主的允许成为一只鸟;我也凭真主的允许医治生来就瞎眼的人和麻风病人,并使死人复活。我还告诉你们你们吃什么、在家中储存什么。若你们是信士,这其中确有对你们的迹象。我来是为了证实在我之前已有的《讨拉特》,并为你们准许你们曾被禁止的一部分事物,我还从你们的主那里带来了明证。所以你们当敬畏真主,服从我。"
And will make him (Jesus) a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah's leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe. And I have come confirming that which was before me of the Torah, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me.
诚然!真主是我的主,也是你们的主,所以应当崇拜祂(独一无二)。这就是正路。"当耶稣察觉到他们的不信时,他说:"谁将作我在真主之道上的助手?"门徒们说:"我们是真主的助手;我们信仰真主,并作证我们是穆斯林(顺服真主)。"我们的主啊!我们信奉你所降示的,并且追随使者(耶稣);所以请把我们记录在作证者之中(为真理作证,即"除真主外别无应受崇拜者")。
Truly! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path." Then when Jesus came to know of their disbelief, he said: "Who will be my helpers in Allah's Cause?" The disciples said: "We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims (we submit to Allah)." Our Lord! We believe in what You have sent down, and we follow the Messenger (Jesus); so write us down among those who bear witness (to the truth, La ilaha ill Allah - none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).
并且他们策划(要杀害耶稣),真主也施行谋略,真主是最善谋略者。(《古兰经》3:48-54)
And they (disbeliveers) plotted (to kill Jesus), and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners. (Ch 3:48-54 Quran)
安拉为门徒降下筵席
Allah Sends the Disciples a Feast
耶稣继续呼吁人们归向至能的真主,并为他们阐明所谓的"灵之律法"。有一次,耶稣站在一座山上,周围围绕着门徒,他看到那些信仰他的人大多来自穷苦、困顿和受压迫的人群,而且人数不多。耶稣行的一些神迹是门徒所请求的,例如他们希望从天上降下一张"圣餐桌"。
Jesus continued calling people to Almighty Allah and laying down for them what might be called "the law of the Spirit." Once when standing on a mountain surrounded by his disciples, Jesus saw that those who believed in him were from among the poor, the wretched, an the downtrodden, and their number was small. Some of the miracles which Jesus performed had been requested by his disciples, such as their wish for a "holy table" to be sent down from heaven.
安拉至高者说:
Allah the Exalted said:
"你们要记住,当时门徒说:'麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你的主能否从天上为我们降下一桌食物吗?'尔撒说:'如果你们确是信士,就应敬畏真主。'他们说:'我们想要吃那桌食物,以坚定我们的信仰,并确知你确已对我们说了实话,而且我们自己也要为此作证。'麦尔彦之子尔撒说:'真主啊,我们的主!求你从天上为我们降下一桌食物(使我们的……'
"Remember when the disciples said: "O Jesus, son of Mary! Can your Lord send down to us a table spread (with food) from heaven?" Jesus said: "Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers." They said: "We wish to eat thereof and to be stronger in Faith and to know that you have indeed told us the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses." Jesus, son of Mary, said: "O Allah, our Lord! Send us from heaven a table spread (with food)
"以便对我们来说,对我们的先人和后人,都成为一个节日和来自您的一个迹象;并赐给我们给养,因为您是最好的给养者。"安拉说:"我必将降下它给你们。但你们中若有人在此之后不信,我必以一种我从未加于全世界任何人的刑罚惩罚他。"
that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a festival and a sign from You; and provide us sustenance, for You are the best of sustainers." Allah said: "I am going to send it down unto you, but if any of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among all the Alamin (mankind and jinn).
那时,真主将说:"麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你是否曾对世人说:'你们舍真主而以我和我的母亲为两个神明'?"他将说:"赞颂你超绝万物!我无权说我不该说的话。假若我曾说过,你必定已经知道。你知道我心中的隐秘,而我不知道你心中的隐秘。你确是通晓幽玄的,唯有你。"(5:112-116 古兰经)
And (remember) when Allâh will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allâh?' " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my innernself though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the AllnKnower of all that is hidden and unseen." (Ch 5:112-116 Quran)
据传,尔撒(耶稣)命令他的门徒斋戒三十天;斋期结束时,他们请求耶稣从天上降下食物来为他们破斋。门徒们对安拉的大能有所怀疑之后,耶稣便向安拉祈祷。众人注视之下,一张大桌子从两朵云之间降下,一朵在上,一朵在下。耶稣说:"主啊,求你使此物成为恩慈,而不是成为痛苦的缘由。"于是它落在耶稣的双手之间,上面盖着一块餐巾。
It was related that Jesus commanded his disciples to fast for thirty days; at the end of it, they asked Jesus to bring food from heaven to break their fast. Jesus prayed to Allah after his disciples had doubted Allah's power. The great table cam down between two clouds, one above and one below, while the people watched. Jesus said: "O Lord, make it a mercy and not a cause of distress." So it fell between Jesus's hands, covered with a napkin.
《崇拜耶稣的人与安拉对耶稣的提问》
Those Worshipping Jesus and Allah's Questions to Jesus
“餐桌之日”成为耶稣门徒和追随者的圣日之一。后来,门徒和追随者忘记了神迹的真正本质,于是便把耶稣当作神来崇拜。
The Day of the Table became one of the holy days for the disciples and followers of Jesus. Later on, the disciples and followers forgot the real essence of the miracles, and so they worshipped Jesus as a god.
万能的真主说道:
Almighty Allah asserted:
"你们当记住,真主将在复活日说:'麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你曾对众人说:除真主外,你们当把我和我的母亲当作两个神来崇拜吗?'他将说:'赞颂你清高!我无权说我不该说的话。假若我曾说过,你必定知道。你知道我心中的事,我却不知道你心中的事。你确是通晓幽玄的。我只对他们说了你命令我说的话:你们当崇拜真主——我的主,也是你们的主。'我在他们中间的时候,我是他们的见证人;你接我归去以后,你是他们的监护者。你是万物的见证者。(这是对全世界基督徒的重大劝诫和警告。)如果你惩罚他们,他们确是你的仆人;如果你饶恕他们,你确是万能的,确是至睿的。'真主将说:'今日,诚实者将从他们的诚实中获益:他们将进入下临诸河的乐园,永居其中。真主喜悦他们,他们也喜悦真主。那是伟大的成功。'天地和其间的万物的主权,都是真主的;他对于万事是万能的。"(古兰经 5:116-120)
"And remember when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?'" He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All Knower of all that is hidden and unseen. Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord', And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world). If you punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, Verily You, only You are the All Mighty, the All Wise." Allah will say: "This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise). To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things." (Ch 5:116-120 Quran)
犹太人谋害耶稣
The Jews Plot to Kill Jesus
耶稣继续他的使命,直到罪恶得知其王座即将倾覆。于是邪恶的势力指控他行巫术、违反摩西律法、与魔鬼结盟;当他们看到贫苦的人们追随他时,便开始策划陷害他。
Jesus went on his mission until vice knew that its throne was threatening to fall. So the forces of evil accused him of magic, infringement of the Mosaic Law, allegiance with the devil; and when they saw that the poor people followed him, they began to scheme against him.
犹太公会是犹太人最高的司法和宗教议会,开始聚会密谋对付耶稣。计划出现了新的转折。犹太人未能阻止耶稣的传道,便决定杀害他。祭司长们举行秘密会议,商定除掉耶稣的最佳方法。
The Sanhedrin, the highest judicial and ecclesiastical council of the Jews, began to meet to plot against Jesus. The plan took a new turn. When the Jews failed to stop Jesus' s call, they decided to kill him. The chief priests held secret meetings to agree on the best way of getting rid of Jesus.
当他们在这样的聚会中时,耶稣的十二门徒之一、加略人犹大走到他们那里,问道:"如果我把他交给你们,你们给我什么?"犹大与他们讨价还价,直到他们同意给他三十块银币,即所谓的舍客勒。针对耶稣的抓捕与谋杀计划就此定下。
While they were in such a meeting, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, Judas Iscariot, went to them and asked: "What will you give me if I deliver him to you?" Judas bargained with them until they agreed to give him thirty pieces of silver known as shekels. The plot was laid for the capture and murder of Jesus.
据说,犹太教的大祭司在会议上撕裂了自己的衣服,声称耶稣否认了犹太教。当时撕裂衣服是表示厌恶的一种标志。
It was said that the high priest of the Jews tore his garment at the meeting, claiming that Jesus had denied Judaism. The tearing of clothes at that time was a sign of disgust.
耶稣受刑
The Torture of Jesus
当时祭司们没有权力判处死刑,因此他们说服罗马总督,让他相信耶稣在图谋危害罗马帝国的安全,并敦促他立即对耶稣采取行动。总督下令逮捕耶稣。
The priests had no authority to pass the death sentence at that time, so they convinced the Roman governor that Jesus was plotting against the security of the Roman Empire and urged him to take immediate action against him. The governor ordered thaJesus be arrested.
根据《马太福音》,耶稣被逮捕,大祭司的议会对他判处了死刑。随后,他们开始侮辱他,向他脸上吐唾沫,并且踢他。
According to the Book of Matthew, Jesus was arrested and the council of the high priests passed the death sentence upon him. Then, they began insulting him, spitting on his face and kicking him.
按照罗马人的习俗,被判死刑的人在处决之前要先受鞭刑。于是罗马总督彼拉多下令鞭打耶稣。摩西律法规定的鞭数是四十下,但罗马人的鞭打没有限制,而且鞭打极其残酷。之后,耶稣被交给士兵去钉十字架。他们剥去他的衣服并留下了这些衣物。他们把荆棘编成的冠冕戴在他头上,以此戏弄他。按照习俗,他背负着自己的十字架,以增加他的痛苦。
It was the Roman custom for the condemned to be flogged before they were executed. So Pilate, the Roman governor, ordered that Jesus be flogged. The Mosaic Law stipulates forty lashes, but the Roman had no limit, and they were brutal lashes. After that, Jesus was handed to the soldiers for crucifixion. They took off his clothes, and kept them. They put a crown of thorns on his head to mock him. According to custom he carried his cross on his back to increase his suffering.
耶稣的被钉十字架——圣经版本 最后,他们来到一个名叫各各他的地方,意思是“髑髅地”,位于耶路撒冷城墙之外。士兵们没有给他一杯掺了香料的酒来减轻十字架上的痛苦,而是给耶稣一杯掺了胆汁的醋。随后他们将他钉在十字架上,并且为了进一步嘲弄他,又将两个强盗与他一同钉上。圣经中是这样记载的。
Jesus's Crucifixion - Bible Version Finally, they reached a place called Golgotha, meaning the Place of Skulls, outside the walls of Jerusalem. Instead of giving him a cup of wine diluted with scent to help lessen the pain on the cross, the soldiers gave Jesus a cup of vinegar diluted with gall. Then they crucified him and, as a further mockery, two thieves with him. So it is written in the Bible.
耶稣被钉十字架——古兰经的说法
Jesus's Crucifixion - Quranic
但伊斯兰信仰所带来的观点,在耶稣的结局和他的本性两方面,都与当时流传的福音书有很大不同。
But the faith of Islam came with views quite different from that of the extend gospels with regards to both the end of Jesus and his nature.
《古兰经》确证,至高的真主并未允许以色列的后裔杀害耶稣,也未允许他们将他钉十字架。实际的情况是,真主拯救了他,使他脱离敌人的迫害,并将他提升到天上。他们从未杀害耶稣,他们杀害的是另外一个人。
The Glorious Qur'an affirms that Allah the Exalted did not permit the people of Israel to kill Jesus or crucify him. What happened was that Allah saved him from his enemies and raised him to heaven. They never killed Jesus, they killed someone else.
安拉至高无上地宣告:
Allah the Almighty declared:
“并因他们的言论(自夸):‘我们杀了麦西哈尔尔撒,玛利亚之子,安拉的使者。’其实他们没有杀他,也没有把他钉死在十字架上,只是他们把耶稣的相貌加在了另一个人身上(他们杀的是那个人)。那些在此事上存有分歧的人,心中充满疑惑,对此毫无确切的知识,只是在揣测罢了。{确实,他们没有杀他(耶稣,玛利亚之子)。但安拉将他(耶稣)提升到自己那里(以他的身体与灵魂),他在天上。安拉是全能的,是至睿的。}”
" And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah," but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man) and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no certain knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not (Jesus, son of Mary): But Allah raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All Powerful, All Wise.
经文中的“并且,在有经人中,没有一个人不在他死前信仰他的(即耶稣是安拉的使者,是一个人)——就在死亡天使降临的时候。复活日,他(耶稣)将为他们作见证。”(古兰经 4:157-159) Wait, I should translate faithfully without the extra sentence I just wrote. Here is the clean version: 在有经人中,没有一个人不在他(耶稣,玛利亚之子,仅是安拉的使者,是一个人)死前信仰他——即在死亡天使降临的时候。复活日,他(耶稣)将作他们的见证。(古兰经 4:157-159)
And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews & Christians), but must believe in him (Jesus, son of Mary, as only a Messenger of Allah, and a human being0, before his (Jesus or a Jew's or a Christian's ) death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) will be a witness against them. ( Ch 4:157-159 Quran)
至能的真主也启示道:
Almighty Allah also revealed:
“记住,当时安拉说:‘尔撒啊!我将使你归于我,并使你脱离那些不信道者的诬陷(即诬称尔撒是安拉之子的虚伪言论),我要使那些追随你的人(即纯一崇拜、只崇拜安拉的一神教信徒)在复活日之前,高于那些不信道的人(即不信安拉的独一性,或不信祂的某些使者,例如穆罕默德、尔撒、穆萨等,或不信祂的某些经典,例如《讨拉特》、《引支勒》、《古兰经》的人)。’”
"And remember when Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you (of the forged statement that Jesus is Allah's son) of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allah ) superior to those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Torah, the Gospel, the Qur'an) till the Day of Resurrection.
反驳基督徒的主张
Refutation of the Christians Claim
安拉与生育无关——第19章,至高无上的安拉在《古兰经》的许多节文中驳斥了犹太教徒和基督教徒的说法。
Allah Disclaims Begetting Anyone - Surah 19, Almighty Allah refuted the claims of the Jews and the Christians in many verses of the Glorious Qur'an.
他们说:"至仁主(安拉)已经生了一个儿子(或后裔、子女)。"(犹太人说:以斯拉是安拉的儿子;基督徒说他生了一个儿子(基督);多神教的阿拉伯人说他生了女儿(天使等)。)"你们确实说出了一件可怕的恶事。天几乎因此而崩裂,大地因此而裂开,山岳因此而崩塌,因为他们把儿子(或后裔、子女)归于至仁主(安拉)。
And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) (as the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son (Christ), and the pagan Arabs say that he has begotten daughters (angels, etc.))." Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allah).
不宜于(至仁主的威严)让他生育儿子(或后代、子女)。天地间的一切,都将以奴仆的身份归于至仁主。他确知他们每一个人,并已将他们一一计数。他们每一个人都将在复活日独自到他面前(没有任何帮助者、保护者或护卫者)。(古兰经 19:88-95)
But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of ) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children). There is non in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection (without any helper, or protector or defender). (Ch 19:88-95 Quran)
安拉至高无上也宣布道:
Allah the Exalted also declared:
然而,他们却把精灵与真主并列为同拜的对象,尽管真主是创造精灵的;他们还无知地妄称真主有子嗣和女儿。赞美真主超绝清净,他超越他们所妄加的一切!他是天地的创造者。他没有妻子,怎会有子女呢?他创造万物,他是全知万事的。
"Yet, they join the jinns as partners in worship with Allah, though He has created them (the jinns), and they attribute falsely without knowledge sons and daughters to Him. Be He Glorified! And Exalted above (all) that they attribute to Him. He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife? He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything.
这就是真主,你们的主!除祂以外,没有应受崇拜的主,祂是万物的创造者。所以你们应当单独崇拜祂,祂是万物的监护者(Wakil,即托靠者、事务的主持者、护持者等)。
Such is Allah, your Lord! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things. So worship Him (Alone), and He is the Wakil (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian etc.) over all tings.
视线无法触及祂,但祂的掌握遍及一切视线。祂是至为精微、至为慈善的,洞察万物。(第6章第100-103节,古兰经)
No vision can grasp Him, but His Grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Subtle and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things. (Ch 6:100-103 Quran)
安拉与以斯拉无关,他不是安拉的儿子
Allah Disclaims Ezra as a Son
全能的安拉也宣布:
Almighty Allah also declared:
犹太人说:以斯拉是安拉的儿子;基督徒说:麦西哈是安拉的儿子。
And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah.
那是他们口中的话语。他们模仿了古代不信道者的说法。真主的诅咒降临他们身上,他们何其迷误、偏离了真理!他们(犹太教徒和基督教徒)把他们的学者和修士当作主宰,置真主于不顾(服从他们,任由他们依照自己的私欲宣布某些事物为合法或非法,而这并非真主的命令),他们还把麦西哈,麦尔彦之子当作主宰,而他们(犹太教徒和基督教徒)在《讨拉特》和《福音书》中本被命令,只崇拜独一的伊拉哈(真主)。除他之外,绝无应受崇拜的主。赞美和荣耀归于他,他远超于他们所妄加的伙伴之上。(《古兰经》9:30-32)
That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbeliveers of old. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth! They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah, (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah) and (they also took as their lord) Messiah, son of Mary , while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded (in the Torah and the Gospel) to worship none but One Ilah (God- Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him). (Ch 9:30-32 Quran)
安拉与生育无关
Allah Disclaims Begetting Anyone
安拉至大也启示道:
Allah the Almighty also revealed:
"现在你问他们(穆罕默德ﷺ啊):“难道你们的主只有女儿,而他们却有儿子吗?”或者,当天使被创造时,他们在场亲眼见证,我创造的天使是女性吗?”
"Now ask them (O Muhammad): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?" Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
诚然,他们说"安拉生了子嗣"或"天使是安拉的女儿",这是他们的谎言,他们确是说谎者。难道祂选择了女儿而不选择儿子吗?你们怎么了?你们如何判断?你们难道不省悟吗?或者你们有明确的凭据吗?如果你们说实话,那就拿出你们的经典来吧!他们还在安拉与精灵之间捏造亲属关系,而精灵确知他们必将被带到(安拉面前接受清算)。
Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say: "Allah has begotten off-spring or children (angels are the daughters of Allah)" And, verily, they are liars! Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons? What is the matter with you? How do you decide? Will you not then remember? Or is there for you a plain authority? Then bring your Book if you are truthful! And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be brought for accounts).
真主至圣!祂超越他们对祂的归属!除了真主的仆人,那些祂所拣选的人(即蒙受祂慈恩的人,也就是信奉伊斯兰一神论、不将虚假之事归于真主的真信士)。(古兰经 37:149-160)
Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him! Except the slaves of Allah, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah). (Ch 37:149-160 Quran)
伟大的真主宣告道:
And Almighty Allah declared:
诚然,说安拉就是麦西哈,玛丽亚之子的人,确已不信。你说:"如果安拉要消灭麦西哈,玛丽亚之子,他的母亲,以及地上所有的人,那么,谁能在安拉面前有丝毫的力量阻止呢?"诸天和大地的主权,以及它们之间的一切,都属于安拉。他创造他所意欲的。
"Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say (O Muhammad): "Who then has the least power against Allah, if He were destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills.
且真主对万事都有全能。
And Allah is Able to do all things.
犹太教徒和基督教徒都说:"我们是真主的子民,是真主所爱的人。"你说:
And (both) the Jews and Christians say; "We are the children of Allah and His loved ones." Say:
"那么,他为何因你们的罪过惩罚你们呢?"不然,你们只是他所造的人类,他欲赦宥谁就赦宥谁,欲惩罚谁就惩罚谁。天地及其间的一切主权都属于真主,万物都要归于他。
"Why then does He punish you for your sins?" Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgive whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return of all.
