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.

一月廿八日 「我為你們起的憤恨，原是神那樣的憤恨。」哥林多後書十一章2節（衛莫司譯本） 一個善奏古琴的琴師，何等寵愛他的古琴呢！他把它懷抱在胸中，撫它、親它、偎它！他和它相依為命。可是，你看他怎樣調整弦音。他把它緊緊握住，用力地在弦上撥一下；弦立刻震顫，好似驚痛之下的戰慄；他側耳細聽，覺得弦音粗浮，還未準確。於是他把弦絞緊；彈撥再三，直等到它能發出柔和準確的聲音來。他臉上纔露出笑容，點頭滿意。 親愛的，其實神也是如此對待你。祂愛你遠勝琴師愛琴，祂發你的聲音不和諧。祂把你緊緊抓住，用力撥你的心弦；祂側耳細聽，豈知你所發的聲音仍是咒詛和怨言；祂只得絞緊你的心弦，再撥，再彈，直等你的聲音是讚美、感謝，和「不要成就我的意思，只要成就您的意思。」（路廿二40）——神所最喜聽的音樂。 ─選 豎琴有許多琴弦， 在愛的旋律中震顫， 一一和諧合拍， 流露出蘊蓄的甜美。 忽有一二弦驀地斷裂崩弛， 破壞了緊湊， 就如不起的波瀾的一泓死水。 愛的狂喜和傷痛相連， 取得王冠的手， 必曾受過許多苦難和酸痛； 未曾爭鬥的人， 不會有得勝者的榮譽， 經過了辛苦， 才能領略休息和平靜的美夢。 阿爾卑斯山的遊客， 唯有在兩場風雨之間， 才能欣賞天空的明淨和霞光的奇觀， 如果夏季永遠碧空無雲， 也會有十丈紅塵飛揚迷漫。 悲哀與快樂， 誰也不能作分別的選擇， 雨者， 必須都有體念， 否則懵懂恍惚， 無所知悉， 沒有非常的痛苦， 就沒有非常的福祉， 對苦痛麻木的心靈， 對福祉也不會敏感。

January 28 "I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy." (2Cor. 11:2.)(Weymouth.) ＨOW an old harper dotes on his harp! How he fondles and caresses it, as a child resting on his bosom! His life is bound up in it. But, see him tuning it. He grasps it firmly, strikes a chord with a sharp, quick blow; and while it quivers as if in pain, he leans over intently to catch the first note that rises. The note, as he feared, is false and harsh. He strains the chord with the torturing thumb-screw; and though it seems ready to snap with the tension, he strikes it again, bending down to listen softly as before, till at length you see a smile on his face as the first true tone trembles upward. So it may be that God is dealing with you. Loving you better than any harper loves his harp, He finds you a mass of jarring discords. He wrings your heartstrings with some torturing anguish; He bends over you tenderly, striking and listening; and, hearing only a harsh murmur, strikes you again, while His heart bleeds for you, anxiously waiting for that strain－"Not my will, but thine be done"─which is melody sweet to His ear as angels' songs. Nor will He cease to strike until your chastened soul shall blend with all the pure and infinite harmonies of His own being. ─Selected. "Oh, the sweetness that dwells in a harp of many strings, While each, all vocal with love in a tuneful harmony rings! But, oh, the wail and the discord, when one and another is rent, Tensionless, broken and lost, from the cherished instrument. "For rapture of love is linked with the pain or fear of loss, And the hand that takes the crown, must ache with many a cross; Yet he who hath never a conflict, hath never a victor's palm, And only the toilers know the sweetness of rest and calm, "Only between the storms can the Alpine traveller know Transcendent glory of clearness, marvels of gleam and glow; Had he the brightness unbroken of cloudless summer days, This had been dimmed by the dust and the veil of a brooding haze. "Who would dare the choice, neither or both to know, The finest quiver of joy or the agony thrill of woe! Never the exquisite pain, then never the exquisite bliss, For the heart that is dull to that can never be striung to this."

一月廿八日 全心 「我全心尋求了您。」詩篇一一九篇10節原文 請注意詩人在這裡頻頻提起全心這兩個字。「全心尋求祂的。」（2節）「我便遵守您的律法，且要全心遵守。」（34節）「我卻要全心守您的訓詞。」（69節）「我全心呼籲您。」（145節）無論是為著尋求神，為著遵守祂的律法，或為著呼籲祂的幫助，每次都要用全心。 我們如果要把屬世的事作得成功，我們就把我們的全心都放在裡面。在事奉這位聖潔之神的事上，我們豈不更需要擺上全心麼？難道祂不配麼？祂至高的聖潔以及我們心中厭棄神的天性，豈不更要求我們該擺上全心麼？當我們在隱密處敬拜祂的時候，我們需要用全心來事奉祂。 但是有大多數的基督徒，根本沒有想到這一點！他們在禱告的時候，在讀神話語的時候，在努力遵行祂旨意的時候，從不記得需要一直說這一句話：「我們全心尋求您。」是的，當我們禱告的時候，當我們想要明白神話語的時候，當我們要遵行祂旨意的時候，但願我們能說：「我渴慕用全心來尋求神，來事奉神，並討祂的喜悅。」 「我全心尋求了您。」親愛的讀者啊！請把這句話放在你的心裡，把它思想過、禱告過。你要在神面前，把它說出來，直等到你感覺你真的知道你所說的是甚麼，並且確實相信神要聽你的禱告。每天早晨，當你進到神面前去禱告的時候，都請說這句話：「我全心尋求您。」你會逐漸的覺得需要在聖潔的安靜裡等候神，這樣祂就要得著你整個的心，你也就要學習用你的全心和全力來愛祂。

一月廿八日 難相信一個人能這樣逼害耶穌 「掃羅，掃羅，為甚麼逼迫我？」使徒行傳廿六章14節 我替神決定我自己的道路麼？除非我們被領進聖靈和火洗的經驗裡面去，我們難得擺脫這種圈套。頑固和我見總是阻擋耶穌基督的，也許不傷害別人，卻傷害祂的靈。無論何時，我們固執己見，決定我們自己的雄圖，我們就損傷了耶穌。無論何時，我們要保持自己的權利，堅持我們所要作的事，我們就逼迫了耶穌。無論何時，我們要保持自己的尊嚴，我們就故意的使祂的靈憂傷了。當我們覺悟我們所逼迫的是耶穌，才有保羅在大馬色路上的覺悟迸出來。 我把神的道傳給人，我自己是否持守了這道呢？抑或我的生命與我所傳的道不一致呢？我也許教人成聖，自己反而表露撒但的精神，危逼耶穌基督的精神。耶穌的靈只感覺一件事──完全與父合一，祂說：「我心裡柔和謙卑，學我的樣式。」（太十一29）我一切所作的，應該建立在與祂完全合一的上面，不在自己決定如何敬虔的上面。這樣，或者我是易於受欺，易於受委屈，易於受人輕視；但是如果我因祂的緣故忍受這一切，耶穌基督之受逼便停止了。

一月廿八日 「這些事我已經對你們說了，是要叫我的喜樂存在你們心裡，並叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。」約翰福音十五章11節 有一種喜樂乃是油然從心中發出的，並不需要任何外在或甚至合理的原因。這種喜樂宛如一口深水井，自然流露、完全不能自已。因為這樣的喜樂是神的榮耀，是因基督的心，更因主叫祂的喜樂存在我們心裡，並叫我們的喜樂可以滿足。 這樣的喜樂是人不能挪去的，因為有喜樂泉源的人，不會被環境左右、顯得失望；相反的，這些人經常因有毫無原因、但深且甘甜的喜樂，而覺得驚訝。這種喜樂往往在環境最艱難、在人最容易覺得痛苦和沮喪時，顯得更加豐富。這情景就像我們心中有隻夜鶯，在夜間時嘹亮地歌唱。 這種榮耀不朽的喜樂，不僅是屬天的，而且已經成為永恆的歌聲。主啊！在任何情況之下，您都賜給我們喜樂，讓我們心中的祝福滿溢、使我們成為他人的祝福。
