1:1 猶大王約雅敬在位第三年,巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒來到耶路撒冷,將城圍困。 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
1:2 主將猶大王約雅敬,並 神殿中器皿的幾分交付他手。他就把這器皿帶到示拿地,收入他神的廟裏,放在他神的庫中。 And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia 1:2 Hebrew ((Shinar)) and put in the treasure house of his god. 1:3 王吩咐太監長亞施毗拿,從以色列人的宗室和貴冑中帶進幾個人來, Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring in some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility-- 1:4 就是年少沒有殘疾、相貌俊美、通達各樣學問、知識聰明俱備、足能侍立在王宮裏的,要教他們迦勒底的文字言語。 young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king's palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. 1:4 Or ((Chaldeans)) 1:5 王派定將自己所用的膳和所飲的酒,每日賜他們一分,養他們三年。滿了三年,好叫他們在王面前侍立。 The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king's table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king's service. 1:6 他們中間有猶大族的人:但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亞撒利雅。 Among these were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 1:7 太監長給他們起名:稱但以理為伯提沙撒,稱哈拿尼雅為沙得拉,稱米沙利為米煞,稱亞撒利雅為亞伯尼歌。 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego. 1:8 但以理卻立志不以王的膳和王所飲的酒玷污自己,所以求太監長容他不玷污自己。 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 1:9 神使但以理在太監長眼前蒙恩惠,受憐憫。 Now God had caused the official to show favor and sympathy to Daniel, 1:10 太監長對但以理說:「我懼怕我主我王,他已經派定你們的飲食;倘若他見你們的面貌比你們同歲的少年人肌瘦,怎麼好呢?這樣,你們就使我的頭在王那裏難保。」 but the official told Daniel, <<I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your 1:10 The Hebrew for ((your)) and ((you)) in this verse is plural. food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.>> 1:11 但以理對太監長所派管理但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亞撒利雅的委辦說: Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 1:12 「求你試試僕人們十天,給我們素菜吃,白水喝, <<Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 1:13 然後看看我們的面貌和用王膳那少年人的面貌,就照你所看的待僕人吧!」 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.>> 1:14 委辦便允准他們這件事,試看他們十天。 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. 1:15 過了十天,見他們的面貌比用王膳的一切少年人更加俊美肥胖。 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 1:16 於是委辦撤去派他們用的膳,飲的酒,給他們素菜吃。 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. 1:17 這四個少年人, 神在各樣文字學問〔學問:原文是智慧〕上賜給他們聰明知識;但以理又明白各樣的異象和夢兆。 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds. 1:18 尼布甲尼撒王預定帶進少年人來的日期滿了,太監長就把他們帶到王面前。 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 1:19 王與他們談論,見少年人中無一人能比但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亞撒利雅,所以留他們在王面前侍立。 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king's service. 1:20 王考問他們一切事,就見他們的智慧聰明比通國的術士和用法術的勝過十倍。 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom. 1:21 到塞魯士王元年,但以理還在。 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.

三月二日 「明日早晨,你要預備好了,上……山,在山頂上站在我面前,誰也不可和你一同上去。」出埃及記卅四章2—3節 在基督人的生命中,晨更是非常重要的。每天早晨我們必須先見神的面,然後再見人和世界。 如果一天的開始是憑我們自己的力量,我們就不能盼望得勝。在每天開始工作之前,必須在讀經中,禱告中,或靜默中,先和神有交通。切勿先見別人,甚至自己的家人,直等到我們先接見了我們生命中至大至尊的貴客耶穌基督。 單獨去見祂。天天按時去見祂。帶著聖經去見祂;把我們一天中要作的事都帶到祂面前去,我們就會得到意想不到的力量和指示。 一天開始, 先與神見面, 祂是你的光明, 你的太陽! 祂是破除黑暗的曙光; 獻上你的祈禱, 讓祂度量。 清晨起來唱一首新歌; 與山林一同喜悅相和唱, 與清新空氣, 海洋和原野, 與那明媚的花朵一同歌唱。 將你第一首歌獻給王, 不是唱給凡人去聽聞, 不是唱給任何被造物, 只是唱給獨一榮耀之真神。 先和神去作一次同行, 好讓神在你前面引導, 在河邊, 在海灘, 在山徑, 全由神來作你的護行。 在天上的父, 作你今天第一位主顧; 你的事業必然興旺, 整天都在神的慈愛中。 ─龐納 許多為神作大事業的信徒,都是一早就跪在神面前的。 亨利馬太(Henry Matthew)每天早晨四點鐘就在他的書房裏讀經、禱告了;到八點鐘出來用早餐。早餐後,舉行家庭晨禱;完畢後,又到密室中去和神親近,直到午時午餐後,他又回到書房裏去讀屬靈的書籍,或寫作,直到四點鐘;其餘的時間,去探望朋友。 ─選

March 2 "Be ready in the morning, and come up...present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. And no man shall come up with thee." (Exod. 34:2, 3.) THE morning watch is essential. You must not face the day until you have faced God, nor look into the face of others until you have looked into His. You cannot expect to be victorious, if the day begins only in your own strength. Face the work of every day with the influence of a few thoughtful, quiet moments with your heart and God. Do not meet other people, even those of your own home, until you have first met the great Guest and honored Companion of your life─Jesus Christ. Meet Him alone. Meet Him regularly. Meet Him with His open Book of counsel before you; and face the regular and the irregular duties of each day with the influence of His personality definitely controlling your every act. Begin the day with God! He is thy Sun and Day! His is the radiance of thy dawn; To Him address thy lay. Sing a new song at morn! Join the glad woods and hills; Join the fresh winds and seas and plains, Join the bright flowers and rills. Sing thy first song to God! Not to thy fellow men; Not to the creatures of His hand, But to the glorious One. Take thy first walk with God! Let Him go forth with thee; By stream, or sea, or mountain path, Seek still His company. Thy first transaction be With God Himself above; So shall thy business prosper well And all the day be love. ─Horatius Bonar. The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early upon their knees. Matthew Henry used to be in his study at four, and remain there till eight; then, after breakfast and family prayer, he used to be there again till noon; after dinner, he resumed his book or pen till four, and spent the rest of the day in visiting his friends.

三月二日 眼睛的開啟 「以利沙禱告說:耶和華啊!求您開這少年人的眼目,使他能看見。——以利沙說:耶和華啊!求您開這些人的眼目,使他們能看見。」列王紀下六章17、20節 何等奇妙!神垂聽了以利沙為他僕人的禱告,使這個少年人看見了滿山的火車火馬圍繞以利沙。神差遣天軍保護祂的僕人。以利沙再次禱告神。敘利亞的軍隊被神擊打而眼目昏迷,他們被領進撒瑪利亞。進了城後以利沙再禱告神開他們的眼睛。不料,他們發現自己竟是無助的囚奴落在他們敵人的手中。 我們盼望在屬靈境界中如此禱告。首先,求神開我們的眼睛,使我們看見神為著祂的教會奇妙的預備,祂用聖靈與火為我們施洗。一切屬天境界的能力,都由我們自由運用於天國的服事方面。神兒女對於這個屬天的異象,信心是何等小——聖靈的能力在神兒女身上與他們同在,且在他們裡面,為著他們的屬靈生活,作為他們的能力,得以歡樂地見證他們的主和祂的工作。 我們也需要以利沙的第二個禱告,求神開祂兒女們的眼睛,就是那些至今還不認識世界與罪的權勢在他們身上有地位的人。他們至今尚不覺察軟弱成了教會的特徵,並使教會沒有能力為基督搶救靈魂,不能建立聖徒,使他們過著聖潔結果子的生活。讓我們特別求神開所有人的眼睛,使我們看見教會最大、最基本的需要是甚麼,藉著代禱帶下祂的祝福,使人一直都知道聖靈的能力是帶著神聖的功效與祝福。 禱告: 我們在天上的父,您是極其樂意將聖靈的能力賞賜給我們,求您垂聽我們卑微的禱告。求您開我們的眼睛,使我們真看見的教會及您子民的光景是何其低落;也讓我們看見您所樂意要賜的恩典及能力是何等寶貴。您樂意垂聽教會在您面前同心合意的迫切禱告,而將這一切賜下。阿們。

三月二日 你覺得主的刺激麼? 「耶穌第三次對他說,你愛我麼?」約翰福音廿一章17節 你覺得主的刺激到了你真情所在的部位麼?惡魔未曾刺到那裡,罪孽和人類的情愛也都沒有刺到那裡,除了神的道沒有任何事物刺到那地方。「彼得因為耶穌第三次對他說,就憂愁……」他醒悟過來,用他最深的心靈歸於耶穌,於是他開始明白這一問再問的意義。在彼得心裡,沒有迷惑的線索存在,此後,他再也不會被迷惑了。他不興奮,不動情,因為這種問語是彼得愛主的程度的一種顯示。所以他帶著驚奇的說:「主啊,您是無所不知的。」彼得開始明白他是怎樣的愛耶穌,但他並未說:「這可以證實,那可以證實。」彼得開始發覺自己是怎樣的愛主,除了耶穌基督以外,無論天上地下沒有可以比擬的;但是主的探刺的問語不來到,他是不能知道他愛主的深淺的。主的問語是能叫我發覺我自己的。 耶穌基督對付彼得的是何等耐心與機敏啊!不到時機成熟,我們的主是不問甚麼問語的。恐怕祂也有一次用不變的問話來刺激我們,叫我們認知我們愛祂的心,是言語所難形容的。

三月二日 「從前所交託你的善道,你要靠著那住在我們裡面的聖靈,牢牢地守著。」提摩太后書一章14節 神給我們的能力,使我們藉著能力持守我們的心,戰勝世界、成為聖潔。祂不僅交託我們善道,並且賜聖靈住在我們裡面。當我們心中有任何邪念或是壞點子時,我們的心可以很快地請聖靈將邪念驅逐出去。而聖靈就會按著我們信心的禱告使邪念離開,並且照我們所願地保守我們成為聖潔。 但是如果我們意志薄弱,與邪惡苟同,那麼聖靈就不會驅逐我們心中的惡念。然而,我們的神要求我們堅守聖潔,只要我們牢牢的守著善道,祂就會大大、豐富地祝福我們。祂也會成為我們靈裡的儆醒,指引我們避開邪惡,給我們能力察覺邪惡的存在,帶到神面前,讓祂趕走、毀壞邪念。 聖靈啊!求您充滿我們,直到我們心中只有您, 願您如火一般來到我們心中,察驗我們。 願您如水一般來到我們生命裡,洗盡我們的罪。 使我們因行您聖潔的旨意而終老一生, 直到我們完全地充滿神的豐富。

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 |
