音乐剧[悲惨世界] 1 饥寒交迫无家可归心中满了怨恨的冉瓦让遇到了“善”

周二晚上瓦特团契的音乐剧[悲惨世界] “管窥”似乎没能让大家尽兴。我将陆续在我自己的博客里与大家分享自己的体验。

开场 Prologue
在苦役场;
假释;
遇见主教大人;
主教饶恕以怨报德又偷窃银灯台的冉瓦让

假释后冉瓦让遭到冷遇:警长拉威提醒他还是坏人,他是25601(犯人代码) ;农场老板克扣他工钱;连与他一同劳苦的农工也说他是坏人怎能得跟别人一样的待遇;小客栈老板拒绝他下榻;

这时候天时已晚,饥寒交迫、无家可归、心中满了怨恨的冉瓦让遇到主教大人(注意在当时法国,主教又极高的地位声望)的主动邀请

朋友,请注意:是主动的邀请!别以是你在寻找神,是神在寻找你!许多年前在台湾有一次校园福音复兴的口号是:“我找到了”,后来才发现更正确的应该是“我被找到了”。证据就在圣经的创世纪里面:上帝呼唤亚当“你在哪里?”. 全能全知的上帝然道不知道亚当在哪吗?朋友,请你想象一下“你在哪里?” 神的心情与口气。

[BISHOP]
Come in, Sir, for you are weary, 请注意主教尊称罪犯冉瓦让 “Sir”
And the night is cold out there.
Though our lives are very humble 小说里面有许多对主教俭朴生活的细腻描述
What we have, we have to share.
There is wine here to revive you.
There is bread to make you strong, 注意这两种食物。wind and bread(和合本翻译:饼与杯)
There's a bed to rest till morning,
Rest from pain, and rest from wrong. 这一句台意味深长了。

[VALJEAN]
He let me eat my fill
I had the lion's share 这时的冉瓦让因为内心还被怨恨所充满,他不能感恩。也尚未感到爱
The silver in my hand
Cost twice what I had earned
In all those nineteen years -
That lifetime of despair
And yet he trusted me.
The old fool trusted me - 冉瓦让称这位主教old fool 但是他感到了人间一种美好的感情:信任!
He'd done his bit of good
I played the grateful serf
And thanked him like I should
But when the house was still,
I got up in the night.
Took the silver
Took my flight!

偷窃了的冉瓦让没跑多远;就被巡警抓获,带到主教面前:

[BISHOP]
That is right.
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind

[The bishop gives Valjean two silver candlesticks]

(主教对冉瓦让) You forgot I gave these also (主教曾说过:What we have, we have to share. )
Would you leave the best behind?
(主教对巡警)
So, Messieurs, you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
And God's blessing go with you.


(巡警离去,主教对冉瓦让)
And remember this, my brother,
See in this some high plan.
You must use this precious silver
To become an honest man.
By the witness of the martyrs,
By the passion and the blood,
God has raised you out of darkness:
I have bought your soul for God. (保罗说:我们是耶稣重价买回的;在小说里,提到说这套银餐具银灯台是主教家传对珍贵的传家宝)

我的分享:

这里主教所做的先是主动的邀请,热情的接纳、后来又饶恕,以德报怨,
作为神的代表,他让冉瓦让体会到了神的大爱中的一个方面,是这种爱使冉瓦让冰冷钢硬的心被摸着、开始发现这世界在众人的冷漠里、有一群不一样的人,决定脱胎换骨,重新做人。

叫人悔改的不是刑法、惩罚、苦役。而是接纳和饶恕。
造物主上帝耶稣基督就是这样:他公义使他恨恶罪、要惩罚罪人!他的慈爱使他爱犯罪的人并要饶恕愿意悔改的罪人。

耶稣对那位行淫时被捉的女人说:“我也不定你的罪,去吧!从此不要再犯罪了。” 他没说“没事了,你平安地走吧,以后别犯罪”。他用了一个“再”字。说明“你的确犯了罪,但以后别再犯!” 
再看主教大人的嘱咐:“And remember this, my brother,
See in this some high plan.
You must use this precious silver
To become an honest man.”
这里十分清楚:You were no honest. But from now you MUST and to Become...
这两个字在歌剧中一语带过;但在冉瓦让心中激起了千层波浪。这些在他以后的两个唱段里可以看到它的久远深刻的影响。 

为完待续
