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.

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。
