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.

一月廿七日 「那賜諸般恩典的神,曾在基督裏召你們,得享祂永遠的榮耀,等你們暫受苦難之後,必要親自成全你們,堅固你們,賜力量給你們。」彼得前書五章10節 當我們和基督結合進入新的關係之時,我們首先要有足夠的智慧使自己認識,我們應該始終保持這個關係。在這開頭,任何疑問的陰影,都會破壞我們的親密。看清了這一點之後,我們必須大膽作承擔的抉擇,就像樹木種在泥土中,或新娘在禮壇前許配終身一樣,確定自己的地位。必須永遠不渝,即無保留,亦無反悔的餘地。 然後,要經過一段試煉和培植的時期,在這個期間,我們必須堅毅穩定,直到新的關係變為根深蒂固的常規。臂膊折了骨,使它避免任何震動。神也要給祂的子女按上了精神的夾板,使他們安定不動,直到他們通過信心的第一階段。對於我們,這不一定是容易的,「但賜我們以一切恩典的神,曾在基督裏召你們,得享祂永遠的榮耀,等你們暫受苦難之後,必要親自成全你們,堅固你們,賜力量給你們。」 ─辛浦生 罪惡和痛患,都有一條相通的自然律;如果我們讓自己去陷入它們的不良趨勢之中,我們就會沈淪下去,落入魔鬼的掌。但握在耶穌基督裏,另有一條關於精神生活和肉體生活的定律,可使我們超升,藉此抵制或克服那另一條使我們沈淪的自然律。 但要達到此目的,必須具有真正的精神力量,堅決的志願,安定的情緒,和恆常的信心。這就像我們在工廠裏運用動力一樣。我們必須使輪機繼續運轉。因為動力是存在的,但我們必須保持聯繫,有了這個聯繫之後,動力發生了作用,整個機器也就開動了。 有一條精神生活的定律,要我們在和神同行時,有選擇的決斷,有信仰的恆心,和堅固的執著,聖靈之使我們神聖化和救治我們,這條定律是整個緊要的關鍵。 ─屬天的日子

January 27 "Stablish, strengthen, settle you." (1 Peter 5:10.) IN taking Christ in any new relationship, we must first have sufficient intellectual light to satisfy our mind that we are entitled to stand in this relationship. The shadow of a question here will wreck our confidence. Then, having seen this, we must make the venture, the committal, the choice, and take the place just as definitely as the tree is planted in the soil, or the bride gives herself away at the marriage altar. It must be once for all, without reserve, without recall. Then there is a season of establishing, settling and testing, during which we must "stay put" until the new relationship gets so fixed as to become a permanent habit. It is just the same as when the surgeon sets the broken arm. He puts it in splints to keep it from vibration. So God has His spiritual splints that He wants to put upon His children and keep them quiet and unmoved until they pass the first stage of faith. It is not always easy work for us. "but the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus Christ, after that ye have suffered awhile, stablish, strengthen, settle you." ─A. B. Simpson. There is a natural law in sin and sickness; and if we just let ourselves go and sink into the trend of circumstances, we shall go down and sink under the power of the tempter. But there is another law of spiritual life and of physical life in Christ Jesus to which we can rise, and through which we can counterpoise and overcome the other law that bears us down. But to do this requires real spiritual energy and fixed purpose and a settled posture and habit of faith. It is just the same as when we use the power in our factory. We must turn on the belt and keep it on. The power is there, but we must keep the connection; and while we do so, the higher power will work and all the machinery will be in operation. There is a spiritual law of choosing, believing, abiding, and holding steady in our walk with God, which is essential to the working of the Holy Ghost either in our sanctification or healing. ─Days of Heaven upon Earth.

一月廿七日 基督徒的剛強 「我還有末了的話,我的弟兄們,你們要在主裡,並在祂力量的權能裡剛強起來。」以弗所書六章10節原文 當使徒要結束以弗所書的時候,他就用這句話作為最後的一段:「我還有末了的話,我的弟兄們,你們要在主裡剛強起來。」 基督徒需要剛強,這是我們都知道的;然而基督徒的本身並沒有剛強的力量,這也是真的。剛強的力量從那裡來呢?請注意這裡的答覆:「你們要在主裡,並在祂力量的權能裡剛強起來。」 保羅在以弗所書一章17—19節,也曾說到這個能力。他求神將聖靈賜給他們,使他們認識神權能之力量運行的能力,也就是神在基督身上運行,使祂從死人中復活的能力,是何等超越的浩大。這是一個實際的真理。祂那超越浩大,而使基督從死人中復活的能力,今又也在每一個信徒裡面作工。親愛的讀者啊!這個能力就在我裡面,也在你裡面作工。我們很不容易相信這個真理,我們所經歷的更是少。這就是保羅要禱告的原因。我們也必須和他一同禱告,好叫神藉祂的聖靈能教導我們相信祂的大能大力。請用你的全心來禱告說:「父阿,求您賜給我智慧的靈,好叫我在我的生活中能經歷這個能力。」 在三章16、17節裡,保羅求父按著祂榮耀的豐富,藉著祂的靈,用能力叫信徒們在裡面的人剛強起來,使基督住在他們心裡;他又說:「願榮耀歸給祂,——歸給那能照著在我們裡面運行的能力,極其充足的成就一切,超過我們所求所想的神。」 請再讀這兩處聖經,並求神的靈照亮你的眼睛。相信神的大能運行在你裡面。也求聖靈把這一個啟示給你,使你能支取神的應許,就是神要在你裡面彰顯祂的能力,來供給你一切的需要。你若要在裡面經歷神的能力,你豈不覺得需要花上時間,甚至花上更多的時間來與父和子交通麼?

一月廿七日 細察與細思 「不要為生命憂慮。」馬太福音六章25節 掛慮世俗,是應該反覆提醒的一個警告。財富的慾望萌動,其他的慾望便跟著侵入了,將必把神所賦予我們的一切都阻窒了。我們絕不能擺脫這種如潮水般的試探。如果這種試探不在衣食方面,必在錢或缺錢的方面;不在朋友或缺少朋友方面;必在處境困難的方面;時時刻刻的侵襲我們;除非我們讓神的靈揭起旗徽來反抗;不然,這情形將如潮水一般的臨到。 「不要為生命憂慮」。「只要留心一件事」就是我們與主的關係。常識以為:我必得考慮怎能生活,必得考慮怎樣吃喝,怎樣怎樣等等問題,「那是無稽之談」。耶穌說你們絕對不要如此。不要以為耶穌的話是不明瞭我們特殊情形的。耶穌基督知道我們的情形,比我們所知道的還要清晰。祂說,我們不必想到這些事,把它們看為我們生活唯一的事情。無論何時,有我們與神的關係爭強比勝的事發生,我們總得將我們與神的關係放在最前面。 「一天的難處一天當就彀了。」(太六34)今天有多少難處來威迫我們呢?有些不長進的小鬼前來相擾,向我們說:「我們下月──本夏天──準備做甚麼呢?」耶穌說:「不要憂慮。」細察細想一下。保持你們的心在:「……何況你們在天上的父呢?」這種態度之下。

一月廿七日 「我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的。」腓立比書三章13節 撒但最喜歡的手下之一是鐵路的轉轍手,因為撒但最喜歡藉著牠,把神載滿祝福、使命以及聖潔目的的特快火車弄出軌。 撒但經常藉著各樣的事,使一個熱心的人分散注意力、失去力量、佔據他的思想。有時是一些小刺激,有時則利用些小委屈的事,阻止一個人繼續追求或是調整自己。有時撒但讓一個人對別人的事情有興趣,並且改變自己的方向。往往在他知道事情真相之前,他早已不自覺地醉心於那些轉移他生命目標的雜事。 也許對他而言不會造成任何傷害,但他卻逐漸遠離正道。所以讓我們避開這些雜事,不讓困難成為我們的絆腳石。但是無論處境如何,讓我們沈著地、不受引誘地努力面前的。並且在朝著目標奔跑時大聲說:「我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的。」
