1:1 掃羅死後，大衛擊殺亞瑪力人回來，在洗革拉住了兩天。 After the death of Saul, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
1:2 第三天，有一人從掃羅的營裏出來，衣服撕裂，頭蒙灰塵，到大衛面前伏地叩拜。 On the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp, with his clothes torn and with dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him honor. 1:3 大衛問他說：「你從哪裏來？」他說：「我從以色列的營裏逃來。」 <<Where have you come from?>> David asked him. He answered, <<I have escaped from the Israelite camp.>> 1:4 大衛又問他說：「事情怎樣？請你告訴我。」他回答說：「百姓從陣上逃跑，也有許多人仆倒死亡；掃羅和他兒子約拿單也死了。」 <<What happened?>> David asked. <<Tell me.>> He said, <<The men fled from the battle. Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.>> 1:5 大衛問報信的少年人說：「你怎麼知道掃羅和他兒子約拿單死了呢？」 Then David said to the young man who brought him the report, <<How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?>> 1:6 報信的少年人說：「我偶然到基利波山，看見掃羅伏在自己槍上，有戰車、馬兵緊緊地追他。 <<I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,>> the young man said, <<and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and riders almost upon him. 1:7 他回頭看見我，就呼叫我。我說：『我在這裏。』 When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I said, <What can I do?> 1:8 他問我說：『你是甚麼人？』我說：『我是亞瑪力人。』 <<He asked me, <Who are you?> << <An Amalekite,> I answered. 1:9 他說：『請你來，將我殺死；因為痛苦抓住我，我的生命尚存。』 <<Then he said to me, <Stand over me and kill me! I am in the throes of death, but I'm still alive.> 1:10 我準知他仆倒必不能活，就去將他殺死，把他頭上的冠冕、臂上的鐲子拿到我主這裏。」 <<So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.>> 1:11 大衛就撕裂衣服，跟隨他的人也是如此， Then David and all the men with him took hold of their clothes and tore them. 1:12 而且悲哀哭號，禁食到晚上，是因掃羅和他兒子約拿單，並耶和華的民以色列家的人，倒在刀下。 They mourned and wept and fasted till evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword. 1:13 大衛問報信的少年人說：「你是哪裏的人？」他說：「我是亞瑪力客人的兒子。」 David said to the young man who brought him the report, <<Where are you from?>> <<I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite,>> he answered. 1:14 大衛說：「你伸手殺害耶和華的受膏者，怎麼不畏懼呢？」 David asked him, <<Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?>> 1:15 大衛叫了一個少年人來，說：「你去殺他吧！」 Then David called one of his men and said, <<Go, strike him down!>> So he struck him down, and he died. 1:16 大衛對他說：「你流人血的罪歸到自己的頭上，因為你親口作見證說：『我殺了耶和華的受膏者。』」少年人就把他殺了。 For David had said to him, <<Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, <I killed the LORD's anointed.> >> 1:17 大衛作哀歌，弔掃羅和他兒子約拿單， David took up this lament concerning Saul and his son Jonathan, 1:18 且吩咐將這歌教導猶大人。這歌名叫「弓歌」，寫在雅煞珥書上。 and ordered that the men of Judah be taught this lament of the bow (it is written in the Book of Jashar): 1:19 歌中說：以色列啊，你尊榮者在山上被殺！大英雄何竟死亡！ <<Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen! 1:20 不要在迦特報告；不要在亞實基倫街上傳揚；免得非利士的女子歡樂；免得未受割禮之人的女子矜誇。 <<Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines be glad, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice. 1:21 基利波山哪，願你那裏沒有雨露！願你田地無土產可作供物！因為英雄的盾牌在那裏被污丟棄；掃羅的盾牌彷彿未曾抹油。 <<O mountains of Gilboa, may you have neither dew nor rain, nor fields that yield offerings (((of grain))). For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul--no longer rubbed with oil. 1:22 約拿單的弓箭非流敵人的血不退縮；掃羅的刀劍非剖勇士的油不收回。 From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied. 1:23 掃羅和約拿單─活時相悅相愛，死時也不分離─他們比鷹更快，比獅子還強。 <<Saul and Jonathan-- in life they were loved and gracious, and in death they were not parted. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 1:24 以色列的女子啊，當為掃羅哭號！他曾使你們穿朱紅色的美衣，使你們衣服有黃金的妝飾。 <<O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and finery, who adorned your garments with ornaments of gold. 1:25 英雄何竟在陣上仆倒！約拿單何竟在山上被殺！ <<How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights. 1:26 我兄約拿單哪，我為你悲傷！我甚喜悅你！你向我發的愛情奇妙非常，過於婦女的愛情。 I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; you were very dear to me. Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women. 1:27 英雄何竟仆倒！戰具何竟滅沒！ <<How the mighty have fallen! The weapons of war have perished!>> 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改，2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能，2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可，顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用！！ 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉（01月14日）
一月十四日 「祂放出自己的羊。」約翰福音十章4節 主把自己的羊放出來。雖然羊走路很辛苦，然而必須如此。一直懶在一個又暖又舒適的羊圈中並不是真幸福。所以祂必須放羊出來，使他們喫草喝水、呼吸新鮮的空氣、欣賞美麗的風景。 覺悟罷，讓我們不再留戀原有的地罷！如果祂指揮我們出來，如果是我們的主親手放我們出來的，一切絕不會錯誤的。起來罷，奉祂的名，向著青草地和可安歇的水邊開步罷！放膽罷，因為祂「在前頭走。」無論甚麼危險必須先經過祂。信心的眼睛能看見前面領路的好牧人；如果看不見了，自己再向前走去就危險了。安心罷，主叫我們走的路，祂自己都有過經歷的；祂不會叫我們走一步我們不能走的路。 這纔是一個有福的生命——不遠看將來、不掛慮前面一步、不自己選擇路程、不把理想的重擔壓在背上、只是靜靜地一步一步緊跟著牧人。 漫天漆黑， 遮掩了未知的明天， 祗能暗中摸索， 因為夜幕未收， 此刻或許得不到久盼的曙光， 但我知道， 神走在我前頭。 危險即身旁， 恐懼搖撼我的心， 生命前途， 在在使我憂愁， 但我是屬主的， 祂知道我應走的路， 更幸運的是， 祂走在我的前頭。 疑竇投下了不祥的陰影， 擔心人生佳境， 已不復可求， 唯有祂的諾言使我堅強振奮， 最幸運的是， 祂走在我的前頭。 祂走在前頭， 這是我的安慰， 祂走在前頭， 我心有了寄托， 祂走在前頭， 保證我的得救， 祂走在前頭， 一切必然順利。 ─史密斯 在東方的曠野中，牧童總是走在羊群前頭的。甚麼危險的事情發生，必定先臨到他，因為他在羊群前頭。現在，神也在我們前頭。祂在明天，明天頂會使我掛慮，可是神已經在那邊了。我們一生的明天，都必須先經過祂，然後纔臨到我們。 ─梅爾 每一個明天， 都有神的領導， 因此今天儘可歡笑， 行路所需的指示與力量， 明天未盡， 我就能找到； 祂給了我疲憊時的鼓勵， 悲哀時所需的慰勞， 苦痛時所需的希望， 以及雨後開朗， 陽光普照。

January 14 "He putteth forth his own sheep." (John 10:4.) ＯH, this is bitter work for Him and us─bitter for us to go, but equally bitter for Him to cause us pain; yet it must be done. It would not be conducive to our true welfare to stay always in one happy and confortable lot. He therefore puts us forth. The fold is deserted, that the sheep may wander over the bracing mountain slope, The laborers must be thrust out into the harvest, else the golden grain would spoil. Take heart! it could not be better to stay when He determines otherwise; and if the loving hand of our Lord puts us forth, it must be well. On, in His name, to green pastures and still waters and mountain heights! He goeth before thee. Whatever awaits us is encounterld first by him Faith's eye can always discern His majestic presence in front; and when that cannot be seen, it is dangerous to move forward. Bind this comfort to your heart,that the Savior has tried for Himself all the experiences through which He asks you to pass; and He would not ask you to pass through them unless He was sure that they were not too difficult for your feet, or too trying for your strength. This is the Blessed Life─not anxious to see far in front, nor careful about the next step, not eager to choose the path, nor weighted with the heavy responsibilities of the future, but quietly following behind the Shepherd, one step at a time. Dark is the sky! And veiled the unknown morrow! Dark is life's way, for night is not yet o'er; The longed-for glimpse I may not meanwhile borrow; But, this I know, HE GOETH ON BEFORE. Dangers are nigh! And jears my mind are shaking; Heart seems to dread what life may hold in store; But I am His─ He knows the way I'm taking, More blessed still─ HE GOETH ON BEFORE. Doubts cast their weird, unwelcome shadows o'er me, Doubts that life's best─life's choicest things are o'er; What but His Word can strengthen, can restore me, And this blest fact; that still HE GOES BEFORE. HE GOES BEFORE! Be this my consolation! He goes before! On this my heart would dwell! He goes before! This guarantees salvation! HE GOES BEFORE! And therefore all is well. ─J. Danson Smith. The Oriental shepherd was always ahead of his sheep. He was down in front. Any attack upon them had to take him into account. Now God is down in front. He is in the tomorrows. It is tomorrow that fills men with dread. God is there already. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us. ─F.B.M. "God is in every tomorrow, Therefore I live for today, Certain of finding at sunrise, Guidance and strength for the way; Power for each moment of weakness, Hope for each moment of pain, Comfort for every sorrow, Sunshine and joy after rain."

一月十四日 我們對基督的愛 「你們雖然沒有見過祂，卻是愛祂；如今雖不得看見，卻因信祂就有說不出來、滿有榮光的大喜樂。」彼得前書一章8節 對於基督徒的生活，這是一個何等奇妙的描寫！從來沒有見過祂的人，卻是真實的愛祂，並且信靠祂，因此他們的心就充滿了說不出來的大喜樂。這就是一個真實愛主之基督徒的生活。 我們已經看見，父與子的主要特性，就是祂們中間彼此的愛，和對人的愛。這一個也應當是真實基督徒的主要特性。神和基督的愛澆灌在他心裡，並要成為一個愛的活水泉源，向著主耶穌湧流而去。 這個愛並不僅僅是一個甜美的感覺，而是一個叫人積極的原則。愛使我們樂於遵行這位可愛之主的旨意，也使我們以遵守祂的命令為樂。基督對我們的愛，乃是藉著祂在十字架上的受死而得以顯明；為此我們的愛，也必須表現在不自私和犧牲自己的生活中。哦！但願我們能明白這一句話的意義：就是在基督徒的生活中，對基督的愛乃是一切。 大的愛就產生大的信心。就是信祂向著我們的愛，信祂要將祂的愛強有力的啟示在我們心中，信祂要藉著祂的愛，在我們裡面作成祂一切可喜悅的旨意。信和愛好像雙翼，要把我們帶到屬天的境界去，因此我們就要充滿說不出來的大喜樂。基督徒若要向這個世界，見證基督的能力能改變人心，並且能使他們充滿屬天的愛和喜樂，他們的喜樂，實在是不可缺少的。 哦，你這愛主耶穌的人啊！請每天花一些時間在內室裡與祂交通，逐日更新的暢飲於祂屬天的愛裡。這個愛會使你的信心剛強，也會使你的喜樂滿足。愛、喜樂和信心，這些都要藉著主耶穌的恩，成為我們逐日的生活。

一月十四日 神之選召 「我可以差遣誰呢？誰肯為我們去呢？我說，我在這裡，請差遣我。」以賽亞書六章8節 「我可以差遣誰呢？」不是神向以賽亞一個人提出來的；而以賽亞聽見了。神的選召，不是為特殊的幾個人，而是為一切的人。我能否聽見神的選召，是以我所感覺的情形為轉移；而我所聞見的，又以我的態度為轉移。「被召的人多，選上的人少。」（太廿二14）意思是說，只有幾個證明自己是選召的，就是那些藉著耶穌基督而與神發生關係的人。這些人的心曾經改變，他們的聽覺啟開了，時時能聽見「誰肯為我們去呢？」這樣詢問的微聲。這並不是神要選出某人來，卻只說，「現在你去吧！」神並沒有極力強迫以賽亞，是以賽亞在神面前，偶然聽見神的選召，確覺他不能另有所圖，在意識的自由之下，回答了「我在這裡，請差遣我。」 把神強迫你的觀念從你的心裡放棄。我們的主召選祂的門徒之時，外面並沒有不可抗拒的強迫。「跟從我」這句話是主用啟發的力量從容不迫地向他們說的。如果我們讓聖靈引領我們而與神面對面，則我們也能聽見類似以賽亞所聽見的話──神的微聲；我們也有完全的自由，回答說：「我在這裡，請差遣我。」

一月十四日 「滿有基督長成的身量」以弗所書四章13節 神深愛我們，所以祂不允許我們不追求祂最高的旨意。終有一天，我們會感謝這位信實的老師，因為祂不准我們打折扣，並且給予我們力量及恩典去完成祂的旨意。當我們完成祂所有的、輝煌的任務之後，我們一定會感謝祂不讓我們找藉口，或是半途而廢。 讓我們堅定起來、讓我們完全照神的意思作事，絕對不把祂的應許或命令打了折。讓我們有高的標準，在到目標之前絕不休息。羅馬書三章4節說：「神是真實的，人都是虛謊的。」所以即使我們失敗一百次，也不該用我們的看法，來改變神對我們的期望。讓我們寧可像一個勇敢的掌旗官，挺挺地站在他的同伴前面，不斷地揮著團隊的旗。當敵軍叫他後退時，他卻揮著旗，並且大叫：「不要讓我們的團隊失色，就讓我們的團隊贏得勝利的光彩。」 前進、前進，拋掉過去， 邁向未來，不斷追求。 應許之地就在眼前， 神且有更大的祝福等著你。
