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.

十二月廿八日 「你們要靠主常常喜樂,我再說你們要喜樂。」腓立比書四章4節 我的心哪! 唱一首信靠的歌, 唱吧, 你必須要唱 像嫩芽一樣的萌出, 又像花朵自然地開放, 唱吧, 用心靈來唱, 你必須要唱, 莫等待熱鬧的 百鳥齊鳴, 唯有單獨的歌唱, 不受聆聽。 天亮了我們歌聲開放, 我的心啊, 像夜鶯一般地獨唱。 歌聲飄揚過雪地, 穿雲層之上, 當迷霧低垂的時候, 唱得清脆響亮, 在黑暗中才能唱出甜美的歌聲, 讓失喪的人靜靜欣賞。 神聽到你的歌唱,祂就彎下身來,慈祥的臉上帶著微笑,非常高興的聽著。然後祂說:「孩子,唱下去,我在聽,我正要下來拯救你;我將為你承擔重負,只管緊靠著我,路途不久就會逐漸平坦。」

December 28 "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice." (Phil. 4:4) "Sing a little song of trust, O my heart! Sing it just because you must, As leaves start; As flowers push their way through dust; Sing, my heart, because you must "Wait not for an eager throng- Bird on bird; 'Tis the solitary song That is heard. Every voice at dawn will start, Be a nightingale, my heart! "Sing across the winter snow, Pierce the cloud; Sing when mists are drooping low- Clear and loud; But sing sweetest in the dark; He who slumbers not will hark." "An' when He hears yo' sing, He bends down wid a smile on His kin' face an 'listens mighty keerful. an' He says 'Sing on, child, I hears, an' I's comin' down to deliber yo': I'll tote dat load fer yo'; jest lean hawd on Me and de road will get smoother bime by.'"

十二月廿八日 情慾的愛 「情慾的事都是顯而易見的,就如……邪術、仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、……嫉妒、兇殺……等類。」加拉太書五章19—21節 保羅在這幾節聖經中,提到十六項可怕「情慾的事」,其中九項是與愛相對的,他也在其他經文提到:「一切苦毒、惱恨、忿怒、嚷鬧、譭謗,並一切的惡毒。」(弗四31)在這裏他答覆了為什麼基督徒中間只有這麼少的愛?為什麼如此困難去鼓勵基督徒彼此相愛?全是由於「情慾的事」。 即使是熱心的基督徒,仍會受到情慾的攻擊。保羅也說:「在我裏面,就是我肉體之中,沒有良善」,「原來,體貼肉體的就是與神為仇」,這樣,要基督徒靠自己的力量,幾乎不可能有愛的生活。聖經告訴我們要:「順著聖靈而行,就不放縱肉體的情慾。」聖靈能治服肉體,結聖靈的果子,乃是以基督的愛澆灌入我們心中為前題。保羅又說:「賜生命聖靈的律在基督耶穌裏釋放了我,使我脫離罪的律。」神能幫助基督徒在聖靈裏行事,而不放縱肉體。 學習以下三個功課:(一)基督徒不可能靠自己愛神和周圍的人。(二)雖然要有愛心,但由於放縱肉體,而有許多苦毒的事。(三)要有盡心愛神,切實愛弟兄及向不信的人存仁愛憐憫的愛;這種生命必須順服聖靈,讓祂引導我們每天的生活,藉此可將神的愛澆灌在我們心中。 神的兒女!讓聖靈完全佔有你,繼續在你裏面運行,使你能愛基督和眾人。請為這種思想禱告,直到它完全在你生命中掌權。

十二月廿八日 不斷的改變 「你們若不回轉,變成小孩子的樣式……」馬太福音十八章3節 我們的主的這些話,是形容我們初初改變的情形,但是我們必要不斷地在我們生活的歲月中改變,常像小孩一樣的歸向神。如果我們倚靠我們的智慧,不倚靠神,所產生的結果,神是要我們負責的。我們的身體一旦被神的預旨引入新環境之中,我們必感覺我們的生命,是服從神的靈的命令。雖然我們行過一次,不能保證我們以後還要照樣的行。肉體與靈性的關係,是一種不斷的改變,可是這種改變是我們所不樂意的。不論神安放我們在那裡,祂的靈是不改變的,祂的救恩也是不改變的,只是我們「要穿上新人。」我們沒有一次肯改變自己,其不肯的理由是故意的執拗,這是神要我們負責的。我們的生命我們自己不可作主,要讓神在我們裡面作主。 我們靈性的障礙,是我們不肯常常改變,反而固執起來,驕矜的詆譭神的寶座,說──「我不」。我們奉自立和固執為神,錯呼了他們。神以固執為弱點,我們稱之為力量。我們生命中還有幾部沒有就範,要使它就範的話,只有不斷的改變。我們終必漸漸而有把握的將全部收回獻給神的靈。

十二月廿八日 「……神賜給順從之人的聖靈……」使徒行傳五章32節 惟有我們走出自我,投向基督對世界的重大目的及計劃時,我們才能明白並證明聖靈的豐富。 或許聖靈在基督徒心中動工受阻的最大原因,乃由於大多數自稱為基督門徒的人,常忽視那些未得救及未聽過福音的人。世上有上百萬自認為基督徒的人,有可能是真正的基督徒。但是,卻從未曾真正、誠心地渴望向外邦的世界傳揚福音。 神不會為了讓任何基督徒得到自私的享受,而賜給他們豐盛的聖靈。祂賜下能力,乃因祂盼望我們幫助他人,並向迷失、沈溺於罪中的人傳福音。事實上,除非神的子民開始瞭解祂賜世人救恩的目的,否則教會是無法明白五旬節之豐富的。神應許的能力與我們的責任是相輔相成的,當我們遵守祂的命令時,就會得著祂全然豐富的應許。 主啊!求您幫助我們瞭解您的計劃。
