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!>> This is Alex Markley's PHPScripture v1.2.0, displaying a copy of Chinese Union Version Bible in XOOPS. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始, 聖經文字部分由CCIM(網路基督使團)網站下載. 如欲修改經文請洽聖經公會. 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(03月08日)
三月八日 「求您……照您所說的而行。願您的名永遠……被尊為大。」歷代志上十七章23—24節 這是一個真信的禱告的樣本。許多時候,我們所求的,並不是神所應許的。因此我們一時不會明白我們的禱告是否合乎神的旨意。大衛在這裡的禱告,告訴我們,他深信所求應許;在這種時候,我們只須帶著信心,用手指按著那應許,祈求神說:「求您照您所說的而行。」這是最美麗,最有力,最穩妥的禱告。用不著焦急,用不著苦求,用不著掙扎;我們只要拿出支票來兌現就是了——拿出應許來,要求實踐。這樣,會增加我們禱告的興趣。求一件神的應許,遠勝求一百件不清楚神旨的事情。 ─梅爾 聖經中每一個應許,都是神親筆簽字的,我們都可以去要求:「求您照您所說的而行。」創造者決不會欺騙信靠祂的受造者;天上的父決不會對祂自己的孩子失信。 「求您記念向您僕人所應許的那叫我有盼望的話」(詩一一九49,直譯)是一個最有力的禱告。他給神的理由是:這是您的話,您豈不守信麼?如果您不實踐,又何必說呢?您既叫我在您的話上有盼望,難道要使我失去您自己所給我的盼望麼? ─司布真 「且滿心相信,神所應許的必能作成。」(羅四21) 神的永久信實使聖經中的應許「又寶貴,又極大。」(彼後一4)人的應許常是一無價值的。許多毀約使人心碎。但是神從創世以來,從來沒有向祂的孩子失過一次信。 哦,一個基督人在痛苦之夜站在應許的門口,不敢拿門閂,這是何等可憐呢?他應該放膽進去,猶如一個孩子進父親的家一般。 ─葛納爾 神每一個應許都是建立在四個根基上的;神的公義,神的聖潔,神的恩典,神的真實。神的公義,不讓祂失信;神的聖潔,不讓祂欺騙;神的恩典,不讓祂遺忘;神的真實,不讓祂改變。

March 8 "Do as thou hast said, that thy name may be magnified forever." (1 Chron. 17:23, 24.) THIS is a most blessed phase of true prayer. Many a time we ask for things which are not absolutely promised. We are not sure thereforce until we have persevered for some time whether our petitions are in the line of God's purpose or no. There are other occasions, and in the life of David this was one, when we are fully persuaded that When we ask is according to God's will. We feel led to take up and plead some promise from the page of Scripture, under the special impression that it contains a message for us. At such times, in confident faith, we say, "Do as Thou hast said." There is hardly any position more utterly beautiful, strong, or safe, than to put the finger upon some promise of the Divine word, and claim it. There need be no anguish, or struggle, or wrestling; we simply present the check and ask for cash, produce the promise, and claim its fulfillment; nor can there be any doubt as to the issue. It would give much interest to prayer, if we were more definite. It is far better to claim a few things specifically than a score vaguely. ─F. B. Meyer. Every promise of Scripture is a wrinting of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: "Do as Thou hast said." The Creator will not cheat His creature who depends upon His truth; and far more, the Heavenly Father will not break His word to His own child. "Remember the word unto thy servant, on which thou hast caused me to hope," is most prevalent pleading. It is a double argument: it is Thy Word. Wilt Thou not keep it? Why hast thou spoken of it, if Thou wilt not make it good. Thou hast caused me to hope in it, wilt Thou disappoint the hope which Thou has Thyself begotten in me? ─C. H. Spurgeon. "Being absolutely certain that whatever promise he is bound by, he is able also to make good." (Rom. 4:21, Weymouth's Translation.) It is the everlasting faithfulness of God that makes a Bible promise "exceeding great and precious." Human promises are often worthless. Many a broken promise has left a broken heart. But since the world was made, God has never broken a single promise made to one of His trusting children. Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house. ─Gurnal. Every promise is built upon four pillars: God's justice and holiness, which will not suffer Him to deceive; His grace or goodness, which will not suffer Him to forget; His truth, which will not suffer Him to change, which makes Him able to accomplish. ─Selected.

三月八日 代禱的學校 「基督在肉體的時候,既大聲哀哭,流淚禱告,懇求那能救祂免死的主,就因祂的虔誠,蒙了應允。」希伯來書五章7節 基督為元首,是天上的代禱者,我們乃是祂的身體,在地上與祂同工。我們不要以為基督沒有出任何代價而成為一個代禱者;祂若未出代價就不能成為我們的榜樣。以賽亞書五十三章10—12節曾論到祂說:「耶和華以祂為贖罪祭,祂必看見後裔……祂必看見自己勞苦的功效……我要使祂與位大的同分……因為祂將命傾倒以致於死。」注意,其三度地說到祂將祂的命傾倒。 祂將命傾倒——就是代禱的神聖意義;唯有如此,才能使祂的奉獻及禱告能在神面前有能力。祂經過了生與死,使祂得以拯救將要滅亡的人。祂如此的獻上自己,乃是一種在神面前大有能力之靈的顯出。 如果我們這些與主耶穌同勞苦的,也是祂的助手的人,意欲有份於祂代禱的能力,就必先有份於祂生命的痛苦,為了代禱的至大工作,必先獻上我們的一生及一切的喜好。代禱絕不可是一時的熱心;它必須是一個一直在加重的迫切願望,是我們所期望並生活的目的,超乎一切之上的。只有不顧生命捨己的生活,才能使代禱有能力(徒十五26,廿20;腓二17;啟十二11)。 我們愈思想這個蒙福的事實並為了神的榮耀,及人的救贖而運用代禱的意義,我們就愈深的相信放下一切而有份於基督代禱的工作,是最值得的。 禱告: 可稱頌的主耶穌啊,求您教導我們如何與您聯合,為了您所買回來的人向神呼籲;願您的愛充滿我們及您的聖徒,使我們能學習為著認識您聖靈的大能而懇求。阿們。

三月八日 放棄的生命 「我已經與基督同釘十字架。」加拉太書二章20節 不但願離棄罪孽,還願放棄他處世接物的整個方法,才能與耶穌基督聯合。從上頭的聖靈而生,意思是說,在開始的階段我們必得先放棄一切的虛偽。我們的主要我們向祂呈獻的,不是善德,不是正直,也不是努力,卻是要我們把罪孽帶到祂的面前。但是,祂拿甚麼來換取我們的罪呢?就是仁義。那麼,我們必要放棄一切自擅的才能,和一切對於神有價值的思想。 此後,神的靈必要指示我們還有甚麼是應當放棄的。那就是要放棄任何屬於自己的權利。我願意放棄一切既得的權利,既得的愛情,而與耶穌基督同死麼? 在我們實行放棄以前,我們總要經過一種放棄的痛苦。當一個人認識自己,如主認識他一樣,那叫他驚恐的,並不是那震動他肉體的罪,卻是他心裡頑強的自傲。當他因主的光而認識自己的當兒,羞辱驚懼和覺悟都相逼而來。 如果你要解決放棄的問題,走過難關,放棄一切,那麼,神定會使你適於祂的需要。

三月八日 「……你們要禱告……」路加福音廿二章40節 禱告是推動宣教事工的力量,所以我們要向收莊稼的主祈禱,求祂打發工人出去、收祂的莊稼。(太九38) 我們每天都要求神感動人心,使他們受聖靈的催逼到國外去傳福音。我們可以求神使他們夜間醒來,心中深信許多他鄉的外邦人正在沈淪之中,而且他們若不傳福音,那些外邦人的血就會落在他們頭上。只要我們禱告,神就會差遣一些人,讓他們覺得「王的事甚急」。(撒上廿一8) 親愛的,我們禱告了還要禱告。當我們所祈求的到達天上時,天上會有片刻的沈默;但是地上的聖徒卻會變得火熱,主的再臨也會因此加快。讓我們不斷祈求收莊稼的主,直到祂差遣許許多多的工人出去。 願神從天降下 屬天的火, 使我們心中充滿強烈的渴慕, 直到我們的禱詞如同香一樣達到祂那裡。

隨機小語智慧是什麼?
有一隻老虎,看見曾打敗過自己的水牛,被人吆喝著耕地,便去問牛為什麼怕農夫,牛說:「因為人有智慧」。 老虎向農夫要求看看他的智慧。農夫說他把智慧放在家裡,可以去拿,但要先把老虎捆起來,免得他走了以後老虎把牛吃掉,老虎聽了覺得有道理,老虎聽從農夫的話。 農夫回村叫了村民來,把老虎裝鐵籠裡,農夫就對老虎說:「這就是智慧」。 國英台羅馬注音聖經新增台語羅馬字典教會MIDI卡拉OK新增教會MIDI卡拉OK流量最多的歌教會MIDI卡拉OK新修改會員登入 |
