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.

二月十二日 「你們的天父是知道的。」馬太福音六章32節 有一位訪客,一次去參觀一個聾啞學校。他看見那些聾啞學生正在聖經班上頂虔誠地讀神的話語。他就在他們的黑板上寫了一個問題請他們答覆:「神既然愛你們,為甚麼使你們聾啞,反倒使我能聽能說呢?」 全班學生都因這一個苛刻的問題受打擊。他們大家坐著相對唏噓,向著那可怕的「為甚麼」發呆。過了一回,一個頂小的女孩子站了起來。 她的嘴唇還在顫動,她的目眶中飽滿了眼淚。她走到前面,爬在椅子上(因為黑板高,她的身體矮小),拿起粉筆,用堅定的手筆寫上這幾個寶貝的字:「父阿,是的,因您的美意本是如此。」(太十一26)這是何等切實的一個答覆呢!這是一個永久的真理,無論大人、無論小孩,都可以安息在其中的——天地之主是我們的父。 讀者,你信不信神是你的父呢?如果你真信,那麼你信心的鴿子不會再遊蕩無依,找不著落腳之地了,因為可以永遠穩定在安息所——你們的父那裏了! 我一直相信,總有一天不管它離開現在還有多久,我們會明白一切;到了那一天,如今使我們覺得遮蔽天空的許多黑暗悲傷,都將消散,由那新的圖案來代替黑暗,那新的圖案設計得如何莊嚴華麗和喜悅,我們將在此奇妙的喜樂中了。 ─培根 並非機運給我帶來的不幸; 這是神的賜予, 所以只有聽命, 因為祂看見我所見不到的情境。 任何痛苦都有它們的原因, 有一天祂將會給你說明, 地上的損失, 換來了天上的歡欣。 像氈毯織滿了花, 從背面去看, 只是線亂如麻。 但正面卻是一幅美畫, 表現了作者的絕妙才華, 絲絲入扣的匠心, 有了代價。 主啊, 您是藝匠, 我是作品, 為了榮耀您的名, 以您的形像來塑我的型。 ─選

February 12 "Your heavenly Father knoweth." (Matt. 6:32.) A VISITOR at a school for the deaf and dumb was writing questions on the blackboard for the children. By and by he wrote this sentence: "Why has God made me to hear and speak, and made you deaf and dumb?" The awful sentence fell upon the little ones like a fierce blow in the face. They sat palsied before that dreadful "Why?" And then a little girl arose. Her lip was trembling. Her eyes were swimming with tears. Straight to the board she walked, and, picking up the crayon, wrote with firm hand these precious words: "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight!" What a reply! It reaches up and lays hold of an eternal truth upon which the maturest believer as well as the youngest child of God may alike securely rest─the truth that God is your Father. Do you mean that? Do you really and fully believe that? When you do, then your dove of faith will no longer wander in weary unrest, but will settle down forever in its eternal resting place of peace. "Your Father!" I can still believe that a day comes for all of us, however far off it may be, when we shall understand; when these tragedies, that now blacken and darken the very air of heaven for us, will sink into their places in a scheme so august, so magnificent, so joyful, that we shall laugh for wonder and delight. ─Arthur Christopher Bacon. No chance hath brought this ill to me; 'Tis God's own hand, so let it be, He seeth what I cannot see. There is a need-be for each pain, And He one day will make it plain That earthly loss is heavenly gain. Like as a piece of tapestry Viewed from the back appears to be Naught but threads tangled hopelessly; But in the front a picture fair Rewards the worker for his care, Proving his skill and patience rare. Thou art the Workman, I the frame. Lord, for the glory of Thy Name, Perfect Thine image on the same. ─Selected.

二月十二日 子神 「願恩惠平安,從我們的父神,並主耶穌基督,歸與你們。」羅馬書一章7節 這是很特別的一件事,使徒保羅在他十三封書信裡,都寫著「願恩惠平安,從我們的父神,並主耶穌,歸與你們。」他有一個很深的感覺,就是父和子在恩典的工作上,是那麼合一、不能分開的。所以,在每一個開頭的祝福上,他總是提到父又提到子。 這對於我們,是一個很重要的功課。在基督徒生活中,我們可以常想到父神,並向祂禱告。但是慢慢的,我們就要看見,如果不瞭解下面所說的真理,必定有屬靈的損失;這個真理就是每天每時只有藉著信,在基督裡與祂有活的聯合,我們才能享受神的完全,以及同在的交通。 請我們想一想,關乎在寶座中的羔羊,神的話是怎樣說的呢?約翰曾看見一位坐在寶座上。「四活物……晝夜不住地說:聖哉!聖哉!聖哉!主神是昔在、今在、以後永在的全能者。」(啟四8) 後來,在啟示錄五章六節他看見「寶座……之中有羔羊站立,像是被殺過的」在所有敬拜的群眾中,除了他第一個看見基督,就是神的羔羊之外,再沒有能看見神的;所以沒有人只看見基督,而不見神的榮耀的。(神的榮耀就是父和子不能分開的一)。 哦!基督徒啊,如果你已準備好認識、敬拜神,只能在基督裡尋求並敬拜祂。如果你要尋找基督,只能在神裡面尋求祂、敬拜祂。這樣,你就能明白甚麼是「你的生命與基督一同藏在神裡面」,你也能經歷與基督相交而敬拜基督,在充足地認識神的愛和聖潔上不可少的。 魂哪,當安靜!在最深的敬虔裡說:「恩惠和平安——我所要求的一切——是從神我們的父,和主耶穌基督而來。」 讓我們來默想並且相信,盼望一切都是從坐在寶座上的父神和寶座中的羔羊,主耶穌基督而來。這樣你就要真的學習敬拜神,常回到這聖潔的情形裡「將榮耀歸給坐寶座的和羔羊。」(啟五13)

二月十二日 我必得靜聽麼? 「眾百姓對摩西說:求你和我們說話,我們必聽;不要神和我們說話,恐怕我們死亡。」出埃及記廿章19節 我們不是有意違背神,只是未曾注意祂。神所給與我們的誡命;也未給與相當的注意;我們並不曾惡意的悖逆祂,卻是未愛祂,未尊敬祂。「你們若愛我,就必謹守我的誡命。」當我們察覺我們時時輕慢神的時候,我們就滿覺羞辱和慚愧,因為我們沒有注意祂。 「求你和我們說話……不要神和我們說話。」我們寧願聽祂的僕人說話,這就表示我們愛神的心是微小的。我們喜歡聽私人的見證,卻不願神自己對我們說話。我們為甚麼怕到不願神向我們說話呢?因為我們知道如果神說話,我們一定要依從的,不然我們便得向神說不願依從。如果是僕人的聲音,我們聽見了,我們覺得那不是命令,我們還可以這樣對他說:「這不過是你自己的觀念,但也不敢一定說不是神的意思。」 神待我如同聽話的兒女,而我老是不理會祂,這是不是將祂置於屈辱的地位呢?當我聽見祂的時候,我就想到我所給與祂的屈辱──主啊!我為甚麼這樣愚鈍、這樣固執呢?當我們聽見神之時,總有這樣的結果。聽見祂的真快樂,因著聽覺之遲鈍,把快樂減低了。

二月十二日 「你們要先求祂的國,和祂的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。」馬太福音六章33節 對任何渴望從主那裡得到什麼的人,這個經節是很好的警言。因為我們強烈追求物質的慾望,很可能使我們不知不覺地離開主,或者使我們不再對祂專一。儘管我們想要的可能是件好東西,但是我們可能有不信及自私的態度。讓我們學習把所需的交託主,相信祂的信實;但同時,讓我們照著祂的旨意,為祂的榮耀而堅守我們的目的。 即使我們提到神所應許的祝福時,我們也應該為祂的緣故,而不是為自己的利益述說祂的豐富。若是我們能夠作到這個地步,那麼詩篇卅七篇4節:「又要以耶和華為樂,祂就將你心裡所求的賜給你。」就會應驗了。換言之,我們得先得著神,祂才會把其他的都加給我們。祂不先把物質的東西給我們,乃因為祂要我們對得著的那些東西有信心,並且為祂的榮耀,而不是為我們的私慾強求祂的應許。惟有當我們完全屬於基督之後,一切的東西才都成為我們的。 主啊!求您今天幫助我先求您的國,並且更願意討您的喜悅。讓我求您的旨意成就,遠勝過擁有任何其他的祝福。
