1:1 以下所記的是摩西在約旦河東的曠野、疏弗對面的亞拉巴─就是巴蘭、陀弗、拉班、哈洗錄、底撒哈中間─向以色列眾人所說的話。 These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the desert east of the Jordan--that is, in the Arabah--opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab.
1:2 (從何烈山經過西珥山到加低斯‧巴尼亞有十一天的路程。) (It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by the Mount Seir road.) 1:3 出埃及第四十年十一月初一日,摩西照耶和華藉著他所吩咐以色列人的話都曉諭他們。 In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them. 1:4 那時,他已經擊殺了住希實本的亞摩利王西宏和住以得來、亞斯他錄的巴珊王噩。 This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, and at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth. 1:5 摩西在約旦河東的摩押地講律法說: East of the Jordan in the territory of Moab, Moses began to expound this law, saying: 1:6 「耶和華─我們的 神在何烈山曉諭我們說:你們在這山上住的日子夠了; The LORD our God said to us at Horeb, <<You have stayed long enough at this mountain. 1:7 要起行轉到亞摩利人的山地和靠近這山地的各處,就是亞拉巴、山地、高原、南地,沿海一帶迦南人的地,並黎巴嫩山又到幼發拉底大河。 Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates. 1:8 如今我將這地擺在你們面前;你們要進去得這地,就是耶和華向你們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許賜給他們和他們後裔為業之地。」 See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land that the LORD swore he would give to your fathers--to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--and to their descendants after them.>> 1:9 「那時,我對你們說:『管理你們的重任,我獨自擔當不起。 At that time I said to you, <<You are too heavy a burden for me to carry alone. 1:10 耶和華─你們的 神使你們多起來。看哪,你們今日像天上的星那樣多。 The LORD your God has increased your numbers so that today you are as many as the stars in the sky. 1:11 惟願耶和華─你們列祖的 神使你們比如今更多千倍,照他所應許你們的話賜福與你們。 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised! 1:12 但你們的麻煩,和管理你們的重任,並你們的爭訟,我獨自一人怎能擔當得起呢? But how can I bear your problems and your burdens and your disputes all by myself? 1:13 你們要按著各支派選舉有智慧、有見識、為眾人所認識的,我立他們為你們的首領。』 Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you.>> 1:14 你們回答我說:『照你所說的行了為妙。』 You answered me, <<What you propose to do is good.>> 1:15 我便將你們各支派的首領,有智慧、為眾人所認識的,照你們的支派,立他們為官長、千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長、十夫長,管理你們。 So I took the leading men of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them to have authority over you--as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens and as tribal officials. 1:16 「當時,我囑咐你們的審判官說:『你們聽訟,無論是弟兄彼此爭訟,是與同居的外人爭訟,都要按公義判斷。 And I charged your judges at that time: Hear the disputes between your brothers and judge fairly, whether the case is between brother Israelites or between one of them and an alien. 1:17 審判的時候,不可看人的外貌;聽訟不可分貴賤,不可懼怕人,因為審判是屬乎 神的。若有難斷的案件,可以呈到我這裏,我就判斷。』 Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it. 1:18 那時,我將你們所當行的事都吩咐你們了。」 And at that time I told you everything you were to do. 1:19 「我們照著耶和華─我們 神所吩咐的從何烈山起行,經過你們所看見那大而可怕的曠野,往亞摩利人的山地去,到了加低斯‧巴尼亞。 Then, as the LORD our God commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites through all that vast and dreadful desert that you have seen, and so we reached Kadesh Barnea. 1:20 我對你們說:『你們已經到了耶和華─我們 神所賜給我們的亞摩利人之山地。 Then I said to you, <<You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us. 1:21 看哪,耶和華─你的 神已將那地擺在你面前,你要照耶和華─你列祖的 神所說的上去得那地為業;不要懼怕,也不要驚惶。』 See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.>> 1:22 你們都就近我來說:『我們要先打發人去,為我們窺探那地,將我們上去該走何道,必進何城,都回報我們。』 Then all of you came to me and said, <<Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to.>> 1:23 這話我以為美,就從你們中間選了十二個人,每支派一人。 The idea seemed good to me; so I selected twelve of you, one man from each tribe. 1:24 於是他們起身上山地去,到以實各谷,窺探那地。 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and explored it. 1:25 他們手裏拿著那地的果子下來,到我們那裏,回報說:『耶和華─我們的 神所賜給我們的是美地。』 Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported, <<It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.>> 1:26 「你們卻不肯上去,竟違背了耶和華─你們 神的命令, But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. 1:27 在帳棚內發怨言說:『耶和華因為恨我們,所以將我們從埃及地領出來,要交在亞摩利人手中,除滅我們。 You grumbled in your tents and said, <<The LORD hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us. 1:28 我們上哪裏去呢?我們的弟兄使我們的心消化,說那地的民比我們又大又高,城邑又廣大又堅固,高得頂天,並且我們在那裏看見亞衲族的人。』 Where can we go? Our brothers have made us lose heart. They say, <The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.> >> 1:29 我就對你們說:『不要驚恐,也不要怕他們。 Then I said to you, <<Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. 1:30 在你們前面行的耶和華─你們的 神必為你們爭戰,正如他在埃及和曠野,在你們眼前所行的一樣。 The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, 1:31 你們在曠野所行的路上,也曾見耶和華─你們的 神撫養你們,如同人撫養兒子一般,直等你們來到這地方。』 and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.>> 1:32 你們在這事上卻不信耶和華─你們的 神。 In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God, 1:33 他在路上,在你們前面行,為你們找安營的地方;夜間在火柱裏,日間在雲柱裏,指示你們所當行的路。」 who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go. 1:34 「耶和華聽見你們這話,就發怒,起誓說: When the LORD heard what you said, he was angry and solemnly swore: 1:35 『這惡世代的人,連一個也不得見我起誓應許賜給你們列祖的美地; <<Not a man of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your forefathers, 1:36 惟有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒必得看見,並且我要將他所踏過的地賜給他和他的子孫,因為他專心跟從我。』 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.>> 1:37 耶和華為你們的緣故也向我發怒,說:『你必不得進入那地。 Because of you the LORD became angry with me also and said, <<You shall not enter it, either. 1:38 伺候你、嫩的兒子約書亞,他必得進入那地;你要勉勵他,因為他要使以色列人承受那地為業。 But your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage him, because he will lead Israel to inherit it. 1:39 並且你們的婦人孩子,就是你們所說、必被擄掠的,和今日不知善惡的兒女,必進入那地。我要將那地賜給他們,他們必得為業。 And the little ones that you said would be taken captive, your children who do not yet know good from bad--they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it. 1:40 至於你們,要轉回,從紅海的路往曠野去。』 But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.>> 1:40 Hebrew ((Yam Suph)); that is, Sea of Reeds 1:41 「那時,你們回答我說:『我們得罪了耶和華,情願照耶和華─我們 神一切所吩咐的上去爭戰。』於是你們各人帶著兵器,爭先上山地去了。 Then you replied, <<We have sinned against the LORD. We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God commanded us.>> So every one of you put on his weapons, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country. 1:42 耶和華吩咐我說:『你對他們說:不要上去,也不要爭戰;因我不在你們中間,恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。』 But the LORD said to me, <<Tell them, <Do not go up and fight, because I will not be with you. You will be defeated by your enemies.> >> 1:43 我就告訴了你們,你們卻不聽從,竟違背耶和華的命令,擅自上山地去了。 So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the LORD's command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country. 1:44 住那山地的亞摩利人就出來攻擊你們,追趕你們,如蜂擁一般,在西珥殺退你們,直到何珥瑪。 The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah. 1:45 你們便回來,在耶和華面前哭號;耶和華卻不聽你們的聲音,也不向你們側耳。 You came back and wept before the LORD, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you. 1:46 於是你們在加低斯住了許多日子。」 And so you stayed in Kadesh many days--all the time you spent there.

二月十日 「親愛的弟兄,不要自己伸冤。」羅馬書十二章19節 許多時候,靜比動更費力。靜是力的最高效能。對於那些一無根據的最惡最毒的控告,主始終「甚麼都不答……連一句話也不說」,以致審判官甚覺希奇。對於那些無理的侮辱、不堪的虐待和嘲笑,連旁人都會激起忿怒,可是主始終鎮靜。祂大有能力,纔能不動。凡曾受過冤枉、譭謗、虐待的,都知道維持鎮靜,需要何等大的力量。 使徒保羅說:「沒有一件東西可以搖動我。」(徒廿24,直譯) 人們可能誤解你的意圖, 你給不給叫他們該受譴責, 你錯了, 審判之權將在基督, 他的褒貶, 無關你的人格, 僅可安靜, 不介於心, 毋恐無怵, 自強不息。 他不是說「沒有一件東西可以傷害我」。傷害是一件事,搖動又是一件事。使徒保羅的心頂仁慈。我們沒有讀著過有甚麼使徒曾像使徒保羅那樣痛哭過。一個男子漢哭泣是無礙於一個人的強毅。主曾哭過,祂是有史以來最強毅的人,所以並不說沒有一件東西可以傷害我,但保羅立定決心,凡是他所言為正確真實的任何事物都不能搖動他。我們往常所計較的,他並不計較,他不貪求安適,他不以性命為念。他所追求的只有一件事,就是對主忠心至死,要得主的喜悅。保羅比任何人更能認識了,主的讚賞就是他的酬報,主的微笑就是天堂。 ─波登

February 10 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves."(Rom. 12:19.) THERE are seasons when to be still demands immeasurably higher strength than to act. Composure is often the highest result of power. To the vilest and most deadly charges Jesus responded with deep, unbroken silence, such as excited the wonder of the judge and the spectators. To the grossest insults, the most violent ill-treatment and mockery that mighyt well bring indignation into the feeblest heart, He responded with voiceless complacent calmness. Those who are unjustly accused, and causelessly ill-treated know what tremendous strength is necessary to keep silence to God. Paul said,"None of these things move me." "Men may misjudge thy aim, Think they have cause to blame, Say, thou art wrong; Keep on thy quiet way, Christ is the Judge, not they, Fear not, be strong." He did not say, none of these things hurt me. It is one thing to be hurt, and quite another to be moved. St. Paul had a very tender heart. We do not read of any apostle who cried as St. Paul did. It takes a strong man to cry. Jesus wept, and He was the manliest Man that ever lived. So it does not say, none of these things hurt me. But the apostle had determined not to move from what he believed was right. He did not count as we are apt to count; he did not care for ease; he did not care for this mortal life. He cared for only one thing, and that was to be loyal to Christ, to have His smile. To St. Paul, more than to any other man, His work was wages, His smile was Heaven. ─Margaret Bottome.
■ 永活之泉(02月10日)
二月十日 認識神 「認識您,……這就是永生。」約翰福音十七章3節 在屬靈的生命裡,認識神是絕對需要的。這就是永生。這認識並不是人告訴我們的,也不是我們自己想出來的,乃是在生活的經歷裡,神將祂自己啟示在我們心裡。這活的神照出祂那賜生命的,聖潔慈愛的光給那些等候祂的人,正像寒冬的日光,使我們的身體溫暖一樣。 為甚麼我們對於真認識神而有的賜生命能力缺少經歷呢?這就是因為我們沒有給神夠多的時間,讓祂來啟示祂自己。當我們禱告的時候,我們總是想著我們已經很知道如何同神說話;然而,我們卻忘了禱告的時候,第一件事就是要安靜在神面前,讓祂來啟示自己。藉著祂隱藏而有大能的力量,顯出祂的同在,住在我們裡面作工。真的,只有在個人的經歷上認識神的同在和祂的慈愛,才是生命。 也許你曾風聞勞倫斯弟兄。他非常盼望要認識神,所以他就到一修道院去。他屬靈的指導者給他一些關乎祈禱的書,可是他卻把這放在一邊;他說:如果我不認識那聽我禱告的神,這些東西對於我的禱告,並不能有多少的幫助。他相信神要啟示祂自己。他來到這位偉大聖潔的神面前,滿心感覺祂的同在,用很長的時間來安靜的敬拜。他繼續這個操練,到後來他就活在一個不斷與神同在裡,經歷了神的親近和保守的能力。每日早晨太陽升起,便擔保整日都有亮光;照樣,當我們每天早晨安靜等候神,降服我們自己,讓祂來光照我們,祂的同在和能力也擔保整天隨著我們。這要看你能不能確定,太陽已經在你裡面升起了。 要學習這一個偉大的功課,就是學習太陽每天所宣告的。在寒冬,太陽怎樣照著我們,使我們溫暖;同樣,我們要相信,那活的神要用祂的愛和大能工作在你裡面。祂要向那些等候祂的人啟示——祂是生命、是亮光、是喜樂和能力。 「耶和華啊,求您仰起臉來,光照我們。」(詩四6) 「你們要休息,要知道我是神。」(詩四十六10)
■ 中文屬天日子(02月10日)
二月十日 你對於神的想像消失了麼? 「你們向上舉目,看誰創造這萬象。」以賽亞書四十章26節 在以賽亞的時候,神的百姓,因瞻仰偶像的面,消失了他們對於神的想像,而以賽亞叫他們舉目望天;那就是他叫他們開始善用想像的方法。自然對於一個聖者,是屬聖的。如果我們是神的兒女,我們就有無窮的寶藏藏在自然中。如果我們運用我們消失的想像去認識它,則神從吹的風,從日從夜,從天之垂象,從花開花謝各方面的臨到。 想像的專注是靈性集中的準衡。你的想像是瞻仰偶像的面容麼?偶像是你自己麼?是你的工作麼?是你對於工作者應有的概念麼?是你救贖和成聖的經驗麼?那麼,你對於神的想像是消失了,保你沒有力量去抵抗困難,只能在黑暗中忍受著。如果你的想像消失了,不回顧你自己的經驗,需要的就是神。不要靠自己,不要注視你偶像的面容,也不要傾向那消失你想像的任何事物。奮興你自己,接受以賽亞給與百姓的嘲笑,立意把你的想像轉向神。 祈禱價值降低的原因,是沒有想像,沒有力量把自己供獻神,我們必要習知怎麼多在祈禱上,做擘的餅和奠的酒,少在對人的方面去做擘的餅和奠的酒。想像是神給與聖者的能力,將自身置於他從沒有經過的關係中。

二月十日 「我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活著的,不再是我……」加拉太書二章20節 基督的生命和我們的天性應該是融合在一起的。有一天,一個很有思想、聰明絕頂的非基督徒女性,帶著追求真理的態度問我:「當基督進入我們心中之後,我們如何能不失去我們的個人特性?因這個經驗不僅會破壞我們的個性,甚至與我們個人的責任相違。」 我的反應是:「沒有基督,我們的個性不會完全。因為基督乃為我們而生,我們也是為基督而活。所以直到我們遇見主,我們並不能得以完全。主需要我們,就像我們需要祂一樣。」 請讓我繼續說明:「假如瓦斯噴出口說:『如果我讓火進來,那麼從我出來的瓦斯就會失去它的特性。』其實不然,因為惟有當火通過瓦斯管時,瓦斯才能真正有存在的價值。如果雪花說:『我若一落到地上,就會失去我的特性,我該怎麼辦呢?』儘管雪花落到地上會被土壤吸收,當春天來臨時,我們可以從櫻草花和小雛菊看到雪花對大地的影響。」 因此,讓我們與基督同死,然後在基督裡得到新的生命。

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 |
