So why are you now challenging God by burdening the Gentile believers with a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors were able to bear?

现在为什么试探神，要把我们祖宗和我们所不能负的轭放在门徒的颈项上呢？

现在你们为什么试探上帝，要把我们祖宗和我们所不能负的轭放在门徒的颈项上呢？

現在為甚麼試探神，要把我們祖宗和我們所不能負的軛放在門徒的頸項上呢？

既然如此，你們現在為什麼試探神，把我們的祖先和我們都擔當不了的軛，放在那些門徒的脖子上呢？

今何為試上帝、以列祖及我儕不克負之軛、置門徒頸乎、

今何為試上帝、以祖宗及我不能負之軛、置門徒頸乎、

今何為試天主、以我列祖及我儕所不能負之軛、置於門徒頸乎、

今爾何為拂逆天主、而欲以吾列祖及吾儕所不堪負荷之軛、加諸信徒之項乎？

Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear?

Now then, why are you trying to test God? You test him when you put a heavy load on the shoulders of Gentiles. Our people of long ago couldn’t carry that load. We can’t either.

Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

Now then, why are you testing God by putting a yoke on the disciples’ necks that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?

Since this is the case, why are you putting God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?

They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

So now that you know God( or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world?

But the king refused.“ No,” he said,“ I will not test the Lord like that.”

Jesus responded,“ The Scriptures also say,‘ You must not test the Lord your God.’”

This is an illustration pointing to the present time. For the gifts and sacrifices that the priests offer are not able to cleanse the consciences of the people who bring them.

There your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw my miracles for forty years.

So once more the people complained against Moses.“ Give us water to drink!” they demanded.“ Quiet!” Moses replied.“ Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord?”

Then Jesus said,“ Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had.They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set.And that’s the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world.But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.
