1:1 以法蓮山地的拉瑪瑣非有一個以法蓮人，名叫以利加拿，是蘇弗的玄孫，託戶的曾孫，以利戶的孫子，耶羅罕的兒子。 There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite 1:1 Or ((from Ramathaim Zuphim)) from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
1:2 他有兩個妻：一名哈拿，一名毗尼拿。毗尼拿有兒女，哈拿沒有兒女。 He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none. 1:3 這人每年從本城上到示羅，敬拜祭祀萬軍之耶和華；在那裏有以利的兩個兒子何弗尼、非尼哈當耶和華的祭司。 Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD. 1:4 以利加拿每逢獻祭的日子，將祭肉分給他的妻毗尼拿和毗尼拿所生的兒女； Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. 1:5 給哈拿的卻是雙分，因為他愛哈拿。無奈耶和華不使哈拿生育。 But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the LORD had closed her womb. 1:6 毗尼拿見耶和華不使哈拿生育，就作她的對頭，大大激動她，要使她生氣。 And because the LORD had closed her womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. 1:7 每年上到耶和華殿的時候，以利加拿都以雙分給哈拿；毗尼拿仍是激動她，以致她哭泣不吃飯。 This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat. 1:8 她丈夫以利加拿對她說：「哈拿啊，你為何哭泣，不吃飯，心裏愁悶呢？有我不比十個兒子還好嗎？」 Elkanah her husband would say to her, <<Hannah, why are you weeping? Why don't you eat? Why are you downhearted? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons?>> 1:9 他們在示羅吃喝完了，哈拿就站起來。祭司以利在耶和華殿的門框旁邊，坐在自己的位上。 Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the LORD's temple. 1:9 That is, tabernacle 1:10 哈拿心裏愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，祈禱耶和華， In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the LORD. 1:11 許願說：「萬軍之耶和華啊，你若垂顧婢女的苦情，眷念不忘婢女，賜我一個兒子，我必使他終身歸與耶和華，不用剃頭刀剃他的頭。」 And she made a vow, saying, <<O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.>> 1:12 哈拿在耶和華面前不住地祈禱，以利定睛看她的嘴。 As she kept on praying to the LORD, Eli observed her mouth. 1:13 （原來哈拿心中默禱，只動嘴唇，不出聲音，因此以利以為她喝醉了。） Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk 1:14 以利對她說：「你要醉到幾時呢？你不應該喝酒。」 and said to her, <<How long will you keep on getting drunk? Get rid of your wine.>> 1:15 哈拿回答說：「主啊，不是這樣。我是心裏愁苦的婦人，清酒濃酒都沒有喝，但在耶和華面前傾心吐意。 <<Not so, my lord,>> Hannah replied, <<I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the LORD. 1:16 不要將婢女看作不正經的女子。我因被人激動，愁苦太多，所以祈求到如今。」 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.>> 1:17 以利說：「你可以平平安安地回去。願以色列的 神允准你向他所求的！」 Eli answered, <<Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.>> 1:18 哈拿說：「願婢女在你眼前蒙恩。」於是婦人走去吃飯，面上再不帶愁容了。 She said, <<May your servant find favor in your eyes.>> Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. 1:19 次日清早，他們起來，在耶和華面前敬拜，就回拉瑪。到了家裏，以利加拿和妻哈拿同房，耶和華顧念哈拿， Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her. 1:20 哈拿就懷孕。日期滿足，生了一個兒子，給他起名叫撒母耳，說：「這是我從耶和華那裏求來的。」 So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, 1:20 ((Samuel)) sounds like the Hebrew for ((heard of God.)) saying, <<Because I asked the LORD for him.>> 1:21 以利加拿和他全家都上示羅去，要向耶和華獻年祭，並還所許的願。 When the man Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow, 1:22 哈拿卻沒有上去，對丈夫說：「等孩子斷了奶，我便帶他上去朝見耶和華，使他永遠住在那裏。」 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, <<After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always.>> 1:23 她丈夫以利加拿說：「就隨你的意行吧！可以等兒子斷了奶。但願耶和華應驗他的話。」於是婦人在家裏乳養兒子，直到斷了奶； <<Do what seems best to you,>> Elkanah her husband told her. <<Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD make good his 1:23 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint and Syriac ((your)) word.>> So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him. 1:24 既斷了奶，就把孩子帶上示羅，到了耶和華的殿；又帶了三隻公牛，一伊法細麵，一皮袋酒。（那時，孩子還小。） After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, 1:24 Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint and Syriac; Masoretic Text ((with three bulls)) an ephah 1:24 That is, probably about 3/5 bushel (about 22 liters) of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh. 1:25 宰了一隻公牛，就領孩子到以利面前。 When they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli, 1:26 婦人說：「主啊，我敢在你面前起誓，從前在你這裏站著祈求耶和華的那婦人，就是我。 and she said to him, <<As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. 1:27 我祈求為要得這孩子；耶和華已將我所求的賜給我了。 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. 1:28 所以，我將這孩子歸與耶和華，使他終身歸與耶和華。」於是在那裏敬拜耶和華。 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.>> And he worshiped the LORD there.

三月十日 「義人必因信而活。」希伯來書十章38節（直譯） 眼見和感覺常會代替信心。高興的情感和滿足的經歷僅是基督人生活中的一部份，並不是全部份。前途中埋伏著的試煉、逼迫、戰爭，絕非不幸，乃是我們必受的訓練。 在這一切患難的經歷中，我們須認定主活在我們裏面，不管我們的感覺怎樣。許多人因為感覺而跌倒；他們依靠感覺，不依靠信心。 有一個姊妹告訴我們；她有一次覺得神離開了她。祂的恩典、憐憫，似乎完全跑開了。她在這種情形之下有六星期之久，有一天神對她說： 「凱塞林，你一直在外面的感覺上尋找我，所以找不著；這六星期中我卻在裏面等著你；你應當到你靈中內室裏來找我，因為我在那裏。」 我們應該分辨情感和事實，這是何等快樂的一回事：當魂感覺孤單淒涼的時候，我們的信心仍能說：「我看不見您，我感覺不到您，但是您始終在這裏，所以我一直是這樣的我。哦，主，您一直在這裏；荊棘雖然沒有燒燬，但是的確被火燒著。我要把我腳上的鞋脫下來，因為我所站的是聖地。」 ─基督徒報 我們應該信神的話語和能力過於信我們自己的感覺和經歷。我們的磐石是基督，漲落的不是磐石，乃是我們魂中的海潮。 ─羅斯福特 我們的眼睛應該凝視基督所已經完成的工作。我們應當仰望耶穌，張起我們的帆來，勇勇敢敢地與浪相搏。不要留戀在不信的港口裡，不要躺臥在黑暗的死寂裏，不要任你的感覺上下顛簸，像碇泊在港口的船隻一般。屬靈的生活不是蹲伏在情感上的，也不是留戀在淺水裏的。撐開去！撐到狂風大浪中去。信靠主！祂是管理海洋的主。飛鳥越飛得高，越是安全。如果牠飛得低─靠近地面─牠也許會陷入捕鳥者所設的網羅裏去。照樣，如果我們一直匍匐在低地上─倚靠感覺、情感─我們就要看見我們自己將要被千萬種網羅——懷疑、失望、誘惑、不信……—─所纏累。這就是「好像飛鳥，網羅設在眼前仍不躲避。」（箴一17） ─馬克特夫

March 10 "The just shall live by faith." (Heb. 10:38.) ＳEEMINGS and feelings are often substituted for faith. Pleasurable emotions and deep satisfying experiences are part of the Christian life, but they are not all of it. Trials, conflicts, battles and testings lie along the way, and are not to be counted as misfortunes, but rather as part of our necessary discipline. In all these varying experiences we are to reckon on Christ as dwelling in the heart, regardless of our feelings if we are walking obediently before Him. Here is where many get into trouble; they try to walk by feeling rather than faith. In all these varying experiences we are to reckon on Christ as dwelling in the heart, regardless of our feelings if we are walking obediently before Him. Here is where many get into trouble; they try to walk by feeling rather than faith. One of the saints tells us that it seemed as tough God had withdrawn Himself from her. His mercy seemed clean gone. For six weeks her desolation lasted, and then the Heavenly Lover seemed to say: "Catherine, thou hast looked for Me without in the world of sense, but all the while I have been within waiting for thee; meet Me in the inner chamber of thy spirit, for I am there." Distinguish between the fact of God's presence, and the emotion of the fact. It is a happy thing when the soul seems desolate and deserted, if our faith can say,"I see thee not. I feel thee not, but Thou art certainly and graciously here, where I am as I am." Say it again and again: "Thou art here: though the bush does not seem to brun with fire., it does burn. I will take the shoes from off my feet, for the place on which I stand is holy ground." ─London Christian. Believe God's word and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your Rock is Christ, and it is not the Rock which ebbs and flows, but your sea. ─Samuel Rutherford. Keep your eye steadily fixed on the infinite grandeur of Christ's finished work and righteousness. Look to Jesus and believe, look to Jesus and live! Nay, more; as you look to him, hoist your sails and buffet manfully the sea of life. Do not remain in the haven of distrust, or sleeping on your shadows in inactive repose, or suffering your frames and feelings to pitch and toss on one another like vessels idly moored in a harbor. The religious life is not a brooding over emotions, grazing the keel of faith in the shallows, or dragging the anchor of hope through the oozy tide mud as if afraid of encountering the healthy breeze. Away! With your canvas spread to the gale, trusting in Him, who rules the raging of the waters. The safety of the tinted bird is to be on the wing. If its haunt be near the ground─if it fly low─it exposes itself to the fowler's net or snare. If we remain grovelling on the low ground of feeling and emotion, we shall find ourselves entangled in a thousand meshes of doubt and despondency, temptation and unbelief. "But Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight sight of THAT WHICH HATH A WING" (marginal reading Prov. 1:17). Hope thou in Gods ─J. R. Macduff.

三月十日 禱告是聖靈的工作 「神差祂兒子的靈進入你們的心，呼叫：『阿爸父！』」加拉太書四章6節 我們知道「阿爸父」在客西馬尼由主耶穌口中喊出的意義何在。這表示祂的完全順服以至於死，也說出神的愛要使罪人得贖的旨意得以成就。在主的禱告中，祂已準備好作任何的犧牲，甚至將生命獻上。在那次禱告中，我們看見祂的心；祂的地位是在神寶座的右邊，祂在神面前代禱有何等奇妙的大能，並將聖靈傾倒的權能。 唯有將祂兒子的靈吸入我們心裡，就是父所賜的聖靈。我們的主盼望我們能像祂一樣將自己完全交給神；像祂一樣的禱告，願意出任何代價，使神的旨意能通行在地上。神的愛如何在祂拯救靈魂的願望中顯明出來，照樣主耶穌也藉著為罪人捨己而顯明瞭祂的願望。今天祂同樣地求神將此愛也充滿祂的子民，使他們能全然將自己奉獻於代禱的事工，並肯出任何代價，藉著代禱使神的愛臨到將要滅亡的人身上。 唯恐有人以為代禱的職事太高而力不能及，所以主耶穌的聖靈已經進入我們的心，我們可能在祂的權能中奉祂的名像祂一樣禱告。此乃是一個肯將自己完全降服於聖靈引領的人，才會受這神聖的愛催促而專一過著一直代禱的生活，因為他知道那是神自己工作在他裡面。 現在我們可以明白基督如何能將無限的應許給了祂的門徒，使他們的禱告得著答應。他們首先必須先被聖靈充滿。如今我們才明白神所以如此重視代禱，乃是要藉此使祂的救贖計劃得以實現，唯有聖靈能將神自己的願望吹到我們裡面，使我們能為人代禱。 禱告： 阿爸父啊！答應我們藉著聖靈，將那為著愛靈魂而不停代禱的靈，放在我們裡面。基督已經為他們死了。求您讓您的兒女看見您向那些肯答應您崇高的呼召而獻上自己的人所賜的福及能力是何等大。阿們。

三月十日 有道可傳，就當與道打成一片 「務要傳道。」提摩太后書四章2節 我們得救，不但是成為溝通的工具，卻要成為神的兒女。我們不僅變為靈性的媒介，卻要變為靈性的使者；使道成為我們自己的部份。神的兒子是祂自己的道。祂的言語是靈和生命。我們既為祂的門徒，我們的生命必是我們使命的犧牲物。自然的心也會做些服務的事，但是在生命變成道的犧牲物以前，非因認罪而痛心，非因聖靈而受洗，非體會神的旨意是不會成功的。 作見證和傳道之間，是有種區分的。一個傳道人，是確覺神的呼召，決意運用他的各種能力來宣傳神之真理的。神將我們從自己的觀念中救出來，把我們鑄成形體，以適其用；如五旬節以後的門徒一樣。五旬節並沒有教訓門徒甚麼事，只是使他們躬身實踐所宣傳的道而已，「你們就是這些事的見證。」（路廿四48） 於你說話之間，給神絕對的自由吧！在神的道解放別人以前，你自己必要得著真的解放。收集你的材料，在你說話之時，把它燃燒吧！

三月十日 「神所賜出人意外的平安，必在基督耶穌裡，保守你們的心懷意念。」腓立比書四章7節 保守我們心懷意念的乃是神所賜的平安，這種能幫助我們瞭解一切情況的平安，正是神在我們生命中的氣息。只有祂能保守我們，也只有祂能使我們不受任何傷害。這是不是你的經驗？ 神在歇工之後才休息，我們也該如此。當我們剛開始與基督同行時，難免會在肉體中事奉、嘗試、掙扎，想要自己救自己。但是惟有在我們停止肉體中的事奉的同時，神才能以平安祝福我們，並且按著祂的旨意成就祂給我們的目標。 朋友，你可曾聽過 希望、聖潔、喜悅，這樣稱頌的字眼？ 愛的樂章從天而降， 一直環繞在我耳中。 聖潔的保惠師已經來到， 主基督就快再來。 憂傷的人，幫助者就在你左右， 保惠師就在你眼前， 祂來帶我們到我們的王那裡去， 使我們配得見祂， 我欣喜保惠師已經來到，主耶穌就快再來。
