Good morning, church.
早上好，教堂。
Let us first give honor to God, though whom all blessings flow.
让我们首先将荣耀归给上帝，所有的祝福都来自于上帝。
I have a couple things that I need to share with you; and Pastor Campbell talked about how this came about.
我有几件事需要与您分享；坎贝尔牧师谈到了这是如何发生的。
This was a conversation on Friday -- Friday evening.
这是周五晚上的一次谈话。
Lisa and I were still away and we returned to Philadelphia late yesterday evening.
丽莎和我还在外面，昨天晚上我们回到了费城。
I first want to start with a passage, and then I have some thoughts that I'd like to share.
我首先想从一段话开始，然后我有一些想法想要分享。
1st Corinthians 15-56:
哥林多前书 15-56 章：
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
死的毒钩就是罪，罪的权势就是律法；但感谢上帝，他通过我们的主耶稣基督使我们获得了胜利。
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
因此，我亲爱的，要坚定不移，在主的工作上常常表现出色，因为你们知道，在主里，你们的劳苦不是徒然的。
My brothers and sisters in Christ, I've tried to live by those words in the course of my work in service to the city of Philadelphia, serving the Lord in each and every day, saying a prayer for all of us, first in the morning, last thing at night.
我在基督里的弟兄姐妹们，在为非拉铁非市服务的工作过程中，我努力按照这些话生活，每天事奉主，为我们所有人祈祷，从早上到晚上最后一件事。
This, of course, is great, great church, the Mount Carmel Baptist Church , with a great, great leader, the Reverend Doctor Albert F.
当然，这是一个非常非常伟大的教堂，卡梅尔山浸信会教堂，有一个非常非常伟大的领袖，阿尔伯特·F·肯尼迪博士牧师。
Campbell, Senior.
坎贝尔，高级。
Please recognize him.
请认出他来。
And he -- as he has done with me, let me also recognize our Great Mom, Mom Campbell.
正如他对我所做的那样，他也让我认识了我们伟大的母亲，坎贝尔妈妈。
To the deacons and deaconesses and the board of trustees, all of the members, and the groups and organizations, and -- I saw as they were passing -- many of the members of the choir.
各位执事、女执事、董事会、所有成员、团体和组织，以及——当他们经过时我看到——唱诗班的许多成员。
Many of you will recall that the choir took off, 20-some odd years ago -- as soon as I got off the choir, they started singing a whole lot better.
你们中的许多人都会记得，二十多年前，合唱团开始起飞——我一离开合唱团，他们就开始唱得更好了。
But I do thank them, and many of them acknowledged our connection.
但我确实感谢他们，他们中的许多人都承认我们之间的联系。
I come today with a number of thoughts.
我今天带着很多想法来到这里。
And Pastor's correct -- we had some general conversation.
牧师是对的——我们进行了一些一般性谈话。
He does not know exactly what I'm going to say and that's a testament to our relationship.
他并不确切知道我要说什么，但这证明了我们的关系。
It's a relationship that goes back a good long way.
这种关系可以追溯到很久以前。
And some of -- of you I've, of course, known for a long time and some may be newer, so let me just share a little bit.
当然，你们中的一些人我已经认识很长时间了，有些人可能是新人，所以让我分享一点。
The first time I came to Mount Carmel Baptist church was on May 12th, 1985.
我第一次来到迦密山浸信会教堂是在1985年5月12日。
I was working on a political campaign.
我当时正在参加一场政治竞选活动。
And many of us, of course, remember the events of that day and the next day .
当然，我们中的许多人都记得那天和第二天发生的事情。
Philadelphia's not been the same since.
从那以后，费城就不一样了。
That was the first time I came to this church, the first time I heard Reverend Campbell preach.
那是我第一次来到这座教堂，第一次听到坎贝尔牧师讲道。
A year later in 1986 I joined this church.

I've been in this church on some pretty important occasions for me and my family.

Twenty-five years ago, I became a member.

People talk about sustainability, well that's sustainability 'cause anybody can put up with me for 20 years -- deserves something.

Please recognize my wife, Lisa.

Four years later -- 16 years ago -- our daughter was christened here.
四年后，也就是 16 年前，我们的女儿在这里接受了洗礼。
You've seen her on a couple of occasions.
你见过她几次。
Five years ago, in the summer of 2006, Reverend and Mom Campbell stood with me on the porch on Parkside Avenue where I announced that I was running for mayor, when no one thought that we had not one chance -- anywhere.
五年前，也就是 2006 年夏天，坎贝尔牧师和妈妈和我一起站在帕克赛德大道的门廊上，我在那里宣布我将竞选市长，当时没有人认为我们在任何地方都没有机会。
(I'm in church.) And about three and a half years ago, Reverend Campbell was on the stage at the Academy of Music participating in the inaugural celebration on January 7th, 2008.
（我在教堂。） 大约三年半前，坎贝尔牧师在音乐学院的舞台上参加了 2008 年 1 月 7 日的就职庆典。
And we pray together.
我们一起祈祷。
Many of you may not know that Reverend Campbell, Reverend Alan [ph], Reverend Good [ph] have prayer with me on a regular basis, 'cause in this job you need some prayer.
你们中的许多人可能不知道坎贝尔牧师、艾伦牧师[ph]、古德牧师[ph]定期与我一起祈祷，因为在这项工作中你需要一些祈祷。
So we have a history and we have a relationship.
所以我们有历史，也有关系。
And what I also know is that Reverend Campbell doesn't have each and everybody -- every Tom, Dick, and Harry -- up in this pulpit.
我还知道，坎贝尔牧师并没有让每一个人——每一个汤姆、迪克和哈利——都站在这个讲坛上。
And so I recognize that this is a very special granting.
所以我认识到这是一项非常特殊的资助。
And I also told him on Friday I understand that I'm not the preacher of the hour.
周五我还告诉他我知道我不是当下的传道人。
And this is the first Sunday of August, and communion Sunday.
这是八月的第一个星期天，也是圣餐日。
So I'm going to be brief.
所以我将简短发言。
Now, I must say first two things.
现在，我必须先说两件事。
One, some of you may know that 30 Americans died overseas -- an elite unit of our military.
第一，你们中的一些人可能知道，30名美国人在海外丧生——我们军队的一支精锐部队。
And whether you agree with our foreign policy or not, I would certainly ask that you would pray for the men and women who risk their lives each and every day to make sure that we can enjoy the freedoms as Americans that some of us seem to take for granted.
无论您是否同意我们的外交政策，我当然要求您为每天冒着生命危险的男男女女祈祷，以确保我们能够作为美国人享受我们中的一些人似乎理所当然的自由。
They're serving their country.
他们正在为他们的国家服务。
Other people make the decision about what they do and where they go, but they're doing their job.
其他人决定他们做什么和去哪里，但他们正在做他们的工作。
And unfortunately, one of those 30 is a son of a Philadelphia police officer.
不幸的是，这 30 人中有一个是费城一名警察的儿子。
So I would ask that you would keep all of them, and especially that Philadelphia family that's been affected, in your hearts.
所以我希望你们能把他们所有人，尤其是那些受到影响的费城家庭铭记在心。
Now, I'm going to say something things this morning that I know from time to time many of you think, but may not say.
现在，我今天早上要说一些我知道你们很多人有时会想到但可能不会说的事情。
There will not be " PC ".
不会有“PC”。
But I've told Reverend Campbell that I recognize that I am in church and I am in his pulpit, so I will certainly be respectful.
但我已经告诉坎贝尔牧师，我知道我在教堂里，在他的讲坛上，所以我当然会尊重他。
On the other hand, there are some words that we know that are also found in the Bible -- and I may use a few of those.
另一方面，有些我们知道的词语在圣经中也可以找到——我可能会使用其中的一些。
Pastor mentioned that we've had some incidents in Philadelphia, the most recent of which was Friday before last , 20, 30 kids running around Center City and it's happened in other parts of Philadelphia as well -- a 16, a 17, a 19-year-old, and, yes, an 11-year-old.
帕斯特提到，我们在费城发生了一些事件，最近的一次是在上周五，20、30 个孩子在中心城周围奔跑，费城的其他地方也发生过这种情况——一个 16 岁、一个 17 岁、一个 19 岁的孩子，是的，还有一个 11 岁的孩子。
And while I may have been out of my office, I was not out of communication.
虽然我可能不在办公室，但我并没有失去沟通。
And I sent a message to police commissioner Ramsey, the first thing that morning as soon as I heard that report -- read that report -- that we have to do something.
那天早上我一听到这份报告——阅读这份报告——第一件事就是给警察局长拉姆齐发了一条信息，我们必须做点什么。

Because my mother said, "Boy, I know you have a watch, but if the watch stops working, if you forget to wind it, if the battery breaks, there's only one thing you need to do: Look up.

但现在，有一些事情不会或不应该改变：尊重他人；把手放在自己身上；不要碰不属于你的东西或者不是你赚来的东西；不要把屁股留在屋内或台阶上，除非有人另有指示；并注意你的举止。
Now, my parents were would be very clear that these were there rules, and that as long as I lived in their house, that was it.

You�ve damaged yourself, you�ve damaged another person, you�ve damaged your peers, and quite honestly you�ve damaged your own race.

So, to our young people: If you want black folks, if you want white folks, Latinos, Asians, or anybody else to respect you, and not be afraid when they see you walking down the street, then leave the innocent people who are walking down the street, minding their own damn business, leave them alone.
所以，对我们的年轻人来说：如果你想要黑人，如果你想要白人、拉丁裔、亚洲人或其他任何人尊重你，并且当他们看到你走在街上时不要害怕，那就别打扰那些走在街上、只管自己该死的事情的无辜者，别打扰他们。
Stop it.
停止吧。

And then all of the sudden, for the cowards that some of them are, in the crowd, thought they were anonymous, jumped up and started beating on people, assaulting them, in the streets of this city.
然后突然之间，人群中的一些胆小鬼以为自己是匿名的，跳起来开始在这座城市的街道上殴打人们，袭击他们。
Well you know, now, if that was one of their friends, if that was their brother, if that was their sister, their moms, their grandmoms, somebody, they�d say, �Oh, that ain�t right, that�s wrong.� Well, it�s wrong when you do it too.
好吧，你知道，现在，如果那是他们的朋友，如果那是他们的兄弟，如果那是他们的姐妹，他们的妈妈，他们的祖母，某人，他们会说，“哦，那是不对的，那是错误的。”好吧，当你这样做时也是错误的。
It�s wrong when you do it too.
当你也这么做的时候，那就错了。
And so if you want to be aggressive, we�re going to be aggressive.
因此，如果你想积极进取，我们就会积极进取。
And let me just share this with you: We got the biggest, baddest gang in town -- a committed group of citizens and a committed government and we�re working together and we�re not going to have this nonsense anymore.
让我与你们分享这一点：我们有镇上最大、最坏的团伙——一群忠诚的公民和一个忠诚的政府，我们正在共同努力，我们不会再有这种废话了。
And lastly let me say, some of those young folks are lucky.

So, let me close.
那么，让我结束吧。
We want a safe city.

We will not tolerate ignorant, stupid, out-of-control behavior.
我们不会容忍无知、愚蠢、失控的行为。
It hurts our citizens, damages property, and besmirches our reputation as a great city.

And so to all of our young people, but a particular message to our young African-American boys and girls, let me say this: If you want all of us -- black, white, or any other color -- if you want us to respect you, if you want us to look at you in a different way, if you want us not to be afraid to walk down the same side of the street with you, if you want folks not to jump out of the elevator when you get on, if you want folks to stop following you around in stores when you�re out shopping, if you want somebody to offer you a job or an internship somewhere, if you don�t want folks to be looking in or trying to go in a different direction when they see two or twenty of you coming down the street, then stop acting like idiots and fools, out in the streets of the city of Philadelphia.
因此，对我们所有的年轻人，但对我们年轻的非裔美国男孩和女孩来说，请允许我这样说：如果你希望我们所有人——黑人、白人或任何其他肤色——如果你希望我们尊重你，如果你希望我们以不同的方式看待你，如果你希望我们不害怕与你走在街道的同一边，如果你希望人们在你上电梯时不要跳出电梯，如果你希望人们在你出门时不要在商店里跟着你。购物，如果你希望有人在某个地方为你提供工作或实习机会，如果你不希望人们在看到你们两个或二十个人走在街上时向内看或试图转向不同的方向，那么请停止在费城的街道上表现得像白痴和傻瓜。
Just cut it out.
把它剪掉吧。
And another thing.

If you walk in somebody�s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back and your shoes untied and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arm, on your face, on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won�t hire you.
如果你走进某人的办公室，头发未梳理，后背插着镐，鞋带解开，裤子半脱，手臂上、脸上、脖子上都有纹身，你会想知道为什么有人不雇用你。

So, you do those things, and act like you got some sense, and you�d be surprised what opportunities will open up to you.
