"Teacher's pet! Teacher's pet!" When I was a little girl, that is what the class would call the boy or girl that seemed to be the teacher's favorite.
老師的小紅人!老師的小紅人!在我小的時候，同學(xué)們管那些看起來更招老師喜歡的學(xué)生，叫老師的小紅人。
In our Bible lesson today, Joseph was the favorite of 12 sons. The Bible says that his old father Jacob loved Joseph best because he was the son of his old age.
在我們今天的圣經(jīng)故事里，約瑟是十二個孩子中最招人喜愛的，圣經(jīng)里說老雅各最喜歡約瑟，因為他是他晚年時所生的孩子。
Perhaps there are other reasons as well. We do know that Joseph was a very wise and obedient son even at just 17 years of age. And according to Genesis chapter 27, not all Jacob's sons were that way.
可能還有別的原因吧;但我們的確知道，約瑟在年僅十七歲的時候，就是一個聰明聽話的孩子。圣經(jīng)里又說，雅各別的兒子，都不像約瑟那樣好。
As far as we know, all Jacob's sons were shepherds. That means they watched over their father's many herds of animal. Joseph was sent by his father one day to check on 4 of his brothers. They were out in the field with the herds.
據(jù)我們所知，雅各的兒子都是放羊的。有一天呢，雅各叫約瑟去看看他的四個哥哥們都在干什么。那時候他們在野地里放羊。
The Bible said that Joseph had to bring back an honest report of his brothers. But oh, oh, Joseph brought back to his father their evil report.
圣經(jīng)里說約瑟必需誠實地告訴雅各他看見的每一件事，所以呀，約瑟帶回來一些不好的報告;
That means they were doing very bad things. What it was we don't know for there are many ways to sin. Disobeying their parents or pouting, perhaps mistreating the animals, or talking mean to each other or saying dirty things.
他把他們所做的壞事情，都誠誠實實的告訴了他的父親。他們在做什么壞事情呢?
Oh, there are many ways to sin, but there is one everlasting punishment. The punishment for sin is that we were separated from God forever.
我們也不知道，也許是不聽父母的話，也許是亂打牛羊、或許是互相吵架吧。
You know, you may look at someone else and say："At least I don't do what they do!" But remember, God see us all as sinners.
你知道嗎?人可以犯各種各樣的罪，做各種各樣的壞事情，但是啊，有一個永遠(yuǎn)的懲罰。
And He saw what Jacob's sons were doing even though we don't know what it was. When Joseph brought the report back to his father, his father knew it was true for Joseph was honest.
約瑟把他哥哥們的行為告訴了他的父親，他父親知道約瑟所講的是真的，因為他從來不說謊，他很聽話、并且愿意讓他父親高興。
He was a son who loved to obey and please his father, a son that could be trusted. How Jacob loved that boy, so much so that he made a special coat with many color just for Joseph. It was a coat like a king's son would wear.
雅各真是非常非常喜歡這個孩子，所以他為他做了一件有許多顏色的彩衣，就像王子穿的那樣的衣服。
You know it was probably easy for Jacob to love Joseph because Joseph was a wise and obedient son, and the son of his old age.
你知道嗎?雅各喜歡約瑟，因為他是一個又聰明、又聽話的孩子，而且是他年老的時候所生的。
God loves you and me even when he sees us filthy in our sin. Isn't that sin like filthy cloth?God loves you so much, that He sent someone to change clothes with us, well sort of.
我們的神也是非常的愛我們，當(dāng)他看見我們陷在我們的罪里的時候，我們好像穿著破爛的衣裳;神因為愛我們，所以他就讓人換去我們破爛的衣裳。怎么換呢?
You see, when Jesus Christ died on the cross almost 2000 years ago, He took your sin and my sin that was like a filthy garment of sin upon Him, so that we can have His pure, clean righteousness that was also like a garment, or coat.
就是在兩千年以前，主耶穌基督死在十字架上，他擔(dān)當(dāng)了我們的罪，他穿去了我們身上破爛的衣服，而讓我們穿上他那干凈、圣潔、無瑕疵的袍子。
Oh how much God loved us, to do that for us, much more than Jacob could have ever loved his son Joseph.
所以雅各喜歡約瑟，大家都知道，包括約瑟的那十個哥哥。
Of course he loved him, and everybody knew it including 10 of Joseph's bothers. Now Benjamin was the baby brother, so he didn't know much about this. But those 10 older brothers saw that new coat Joseph had, and they were very upset.
在那個時候，他的小弟弟本潔明還不太懂事，但是那十個哥哥看到約瑟的彩衣，他們非常非常生氣，他們看見父親喜歡約瑟，他們就更恨約瑟。
And when his brothers saw that their father loved Joseph more than them, they hated him. They could not speak peaceably to him. They were thinking, not only was Joseph a little tattle tail, but he was daddy's favorite that he could get something special they couldn't get. Oh my, their hearts were so full of jealousy.
他們對他講非常不友好的話。他們想：哼!約瑟最招父親喜歡，所以他可以得到他們得不到的東西，他們的心里充滿了忌妒。
The Bible says that one night, Joseph had a dream. It was a strange dream, and when he woke up the next morning he wanted to tell someone about it.
圣經(jīng)里說有一天晚上約瑟做了一個夢，很奇怪很奇怪的夢;第二天他醒過來的時候，他想去告訴別人。
Now, if it were you and me, would we want to tell those brothers?No, we would be so upset with them, who would want to talk to them?Do you know Joseph had such a forgiving spirit, that is exactly where he went.
想一想，如果是你跟我，做了夢會去告訴別人嗎?嗯，才不會呢，我們才不會告訴那些讓我們生氣的人呢。可是啊，約瑟有一個非常非常愿意原諒別人的心。
And this is what he said to them. "Listen, please, I want you to hear what I dreamed. We were in the fields, and we were bundling wheat when all of a sudden, my bundle of grain stood up, and your bundle stood up too. And all of a sudden , your bundles of grain bowed to my bundle of grain."
所以他跑去告訴他的哥哥們，他說：“嘿!我要告訴你們我做的一個夢，我們在田里面捆小麥，突然，你們捆的小麥向我捆的大捆小麥下跪哪!”
Ohhh, how do you think his brothers felt?They spoke to him："Are you trying to tell us that you are going to rule over us?Do you think you are going to have dominion over us?"
哦!你想他的弟兄們對他的感覺會怎么樣呢?他們對他說：“你以為你想你會統(tǒng)治我們嗎?你會比我們都大嗎?”
The Bible says "And they hated him yet the more, for his dreams and for his words." What is this jealousy going to cause Joseph's brothers to do?You can be sure it is a very shocking story next week. So don’t miss it.
圣經(jīng)說因為他的夢和他所說的話，他們就更恨他了。約瑟的哥哥們會因為忌妒他會去做什么呢?你可以相信有非常令人吃驚的故事，在下個星期等著我們。千萬不要錯過 哦!
