“回到伊甸园”-清晰版 “Return to Eden” – clear version

很多人很喜欢这首歌,我也很喜欢,所以再跟你们分享这个比较清晰的版本。。。慢慢享受!
Many people like this song, I do too, so here it is sharing with you again the clearer version… Enjoy!

这考试。。。真的太感动了。。。 This test… it is most touching…

每一次报告要全教会考试时都会“抗议声四起”,大家都会紧张、压力、害怕,总偷偷希望会延迟,甚至取消。。。
但大家也知道无法幸免。。。然后大家都会很用心准备,基本上大家还是都来了。。。
看看以下考试的画面,你哪能不惊叹?你哪能不感动?
。。。你哪能不爱这教会,这一群单纯可爱的羊?

Each time I announce there is going to be a Bible test for the whole church, there will be lots of “protests”,
everyone would feel nervous, under pressure, afraid, and secretly wish the test would be postponed or even cancelled…
But each time they all know they cannot escape this… then they would all study very hard, and basically all would turn up still…
Just look at the pictures below, how can you not be impressed? How can you not be touched?
… How can you not love this church, this bunch of innocent and adorable sheep?

大家都坐在地上考,所以要自己“乔”最舒服的姿势。。。
All sat on the floor for the test, so you had to adjust for yourself the most comfortable position…

有些脚都没地方放。。。
Some had no space to stretch their legs…

有些不知何故考到站起来,或没空间坐。。。?
Some don’t know why stood up half way through the test or they had no space to sit down…?

年长的有得坐。。。
The elderly had seats…

几乎全教会都来考了。。。有年长婆婆级的。。。
Just about the whole church came for the test… the elderly of grandma category…

也有公公级的。。。
and the grand-dad category…

做爸爸的。。。
the daddies…

也有做妈妈的。。。
and the mothers…

还有小孩。。。
and the kids…

身体不太舒服还是来考。。。
Even when not feeling well, they would still come…

顽皮的也乖乖来考。。。
The naughty ones would come obediently too…

他们可都是很认真哦,不会输给全国大考,都会仔细看清楚题目。。。
And they were all very serious, not unlike our national exam, they would read the questions carefully…

有些考到胡须都长出来了。。。
Some sat till their beard started to grow…

有些考到没脸见人。。。
Some till they couldn’t face anyone…

有些。。。咦?怎么这个的考卷跟大家的都不一样。。。?
And some… huh? How come this paper is different from the rest…?

考完了围着牧师看他改前面几张考卷。。。
After the exam, surrounding Pastor to see him mark the first few few papers…

然后非常在乎自己的成绩怎么样。。。
Then all very concerned about own results…

这么一个认真、顺服、同心、喜乐的教会。。。你告诉我,你能不爱这教会吗?
Such a serious, submissive, united, joyful church… you tell me, can you not love this church?

这考场。。。太夸张了吧?! This exam venue… really over the top!!

我们去年太多活动,错过了常年全教会圣经考试。。。
我非常耿耿于怀,所以今年一开始就补回来,而且今年应该会考至少两次!
为了让弟兄姐妹们能安心过年,所以我就赶在上个星期五(2月5日)给他们第一轮考试。。。
下一轮还没定几时,但放心啦,不会这么快,所以快快乐乐过年去,哈哈。。。

Last year we had so many activities till we missed our yearly Bible Test for the whole church…
I feel rather bad about that, so right at the start of the year, I quickly had a replacement test and this year we should have at least two tests!
In order to let our brothers and sisters have a worry-free new year celebration, I rushed to give them the first test last Friday (Feb 5th)…
I have not fixed the date for the second test yet, but don’t worry too much about it, it won’t be so soon, so just enjoy your new year happily, haha….

礼拜天我告诉会众说,我们常年考试的画面真的是世界奇观,这话一点都不会太夸张。。。你自己看看就好!
On Sunday I told the church the scene of our yearly test is one of the wonders of the world, I wasn’t exaggerating… just take a look for yourselves!

这是楼下大堂考场。。。
This is the downstairs main sanctuary exam hall…

楼下坐满了,就挤到楼上副堂。。。
When downstairs was packed, they squeezed into the upstairs overflow room…

副堂也挤满了,怎么办?。。。就坐在厕所外面。。。哎哟,男厕的门还开着,不臭吗?
Ant the overflow room was also packed, how?… just sat outside the toilets…
Oh dear, the male toilet’s door was open, was it not smelly?

里面都坐满了。。。就跑到办公室外面。。。
Inside all full… then outside the office…

或大门口。。。
or at the main door…

楼梯也可以。。。
Even the stairs were occupied…

或者外面的走廊。。。
or the corridor outside…

甚至水沟旁。。。
even beside the drain…

一些组长领袖们得以在办公室里考。。。
Some leaders were allowed to sit for the exam in the office…

总区长和大区长也不能幸免。。。他们在牧师办公室里考。。。以身作则。。。
The top area leaders were not exempted too… they sat for the test in Pastor’s office… leadership by example…

这就是我们的教会,这就是神的恩典,神所赐合而为一的心,我们一定要竭力保守,阿们!
This is our church, this is God’s grace, the unity of hearts God has given us, we must make every effort to preserve it, Amen!
