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.

一月二日 「這圍殿的旁屋，越高越寬。因旁屋圍殿懸疊而上；所以越上越寬，從下一層，由中一層，到上一層。」以西結書四一章7節 願你前程永遠向高向上， 今天我就為此禱告而瞻望； 隨著歲月推移，季節更新， 願你前程永遠向高向上。 願你天天繼續向高向上， 你的前途等你去開創， 願你繼續向高向上， 一直到救主的身旁。 雖然苦難折磨你， 悲愴臨到你， 你仍要向高向上， 魔鬼設計誘你離開基督， 但你仍要向高向上。 能在平地上馳驅，不該就算知足，我們還該力求登峰造極。在山頂上，露珠何等光明、美麗，空氣多麼清潔、新鮮，居民何其幽逸、清高，他們一推窗就可望見新耶路撒冷！ 多少信徒甘心樂意地過著礦工一般的生活——終日不見天日。他們的臉上原該膏著天上的喜樂油，可是卻抹著淚珠。他們原該在宮殿頂上散步，欣賞利巴嫩的美景，可是卻滿足於牢獄中的枯萎。醒來罷，信徒們，離開你的平地，努力向上罷！ 丟去你的倦懶、冷，以及一切攔阻你向上追求基督的。讓基督作你的源頭、你的中心，要讓祂在萬有上居首位。不要滿意你目前所有的。渴望一個更高、更貴、更豐、更富的生命。向著天！追求更近神！ ─司布真 我願攀登絕頂， 沾得一縷神的榮光； 到達之前， 我仍要不斷祈求， 主啊！ 引我升向更上方。 我們中間沒有多少人真是盡我們所能的活著。我們留戀在平地上，因為我們怕攀山越嶺。山程的崎嶇、峭峻，寒了我們的心，因此我們終身耽擱在霧谷中，從不會瞭解山頂上的佳境，啊，寬容自己的損失是何其大的啊！只要我們肯決心登高尋求神，前面有極大的榮耀和祝福等著我們。 ─密勒

January 2 "And there was on enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst."(Ezek. 41.7.) "Still upward be thine onward course: For this I pray today; Still upward as the years go by, And seasons pass away. "Still upward in this comping year. Thy path is all untried: Still upward may'st thou journey on, Close by thy Savior's side. "Still upward e'en though sorrow come, And trials crush thine heart; Still upward may they draw thy soul, With Christ to walk apart. We ought not to rest content in the mists of the valley when the summit of Tabor awaits us. How pure are the dews of the hills, how fresh is the mountain air, how rich the fare of the dwellers aloft, whose windows look into the New Jerusalem! Many saints are content to live like men in coal mines, who see not the sun. Tears may their faces when they might anoint them with celestial oil. Satisfied I am that many a believer pines in a dungeon when he might walk on the palace roof, and view the goodly land and Lebanon. Rouse thee, O believer, from thy low condition! Cast away thy sloth, the lethargy, thy coldness, or whatever interferes with thy chaste and pure love to Christ. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of all thy soul's range of delight. Rest no longer satisfied with thy dwarfish attainments. Aspire to a higher, a nobler, a fuller life. Upward to heaven! Nearer to God! ─Spurgeon. "I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I'll pray, till heaven I've found, Lord, lead me on to higher ground!" Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self-indulgence, what glory awaits us if only we had courage for the mountain climb, what blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God. ─J. R. M. "Too low they build who build beneath the stars."

一月二日 與神交通 「我愛你們，正如父愛我一樣，你們要常在我的愛裡。」約翰福音十五章9節 神格中的三個身位，乃是父，子，靈。我們每一個人，都是具有位格的個人，與其他人雖有相當的關係，卻都有分別。照樣，神也要向我們啟示祂自己是一位有位格的神。我們所蒙的神聖呼召，就是來和神有交通。 神非常渴望與人有交通。但是罪卻來到人和神的中間成了隔牆。連那些自以為認識神的基督徒，在他們個人與神之間這種愛的關係上，也常常忽略了，甚至認為是無關緊要。 許多人相信，當他們悔改歸主的時候，他們的罪就得了赦免。他們相信神悅納了他們，他們就能到天堂。他們也相信，他們應當盡力遵行神的旨意。但他們卻很少想到，就是地上作父親的，和他的孩子，也有天倫的快樂，所以他們也更應該天天和神有這種蒙福的交通。 神賜下祂的兒子耶穌基督，為要將我們帶到祂面前。但只有當我們密切的活在與耶穌基督交通的時候，纔能成為可能。我們與基督的關係，乃是繫在祂對於我們的愛上。對於這個深厚柔細的大愛，我們自己沒法報答。但是聖靈要在我們裡面作這個工。為此我們必須每天把自己從世界分別出來，憑著信心歸向主耶穌，這樣祂纔能將祂的愛厚厚地澆灌在我們心裡，使我們向著祂也能充滿了愛。 親愛的信徒，要安靜默念這件事。主耶穌說：「愛我的必蒙我父愛他，我也要愛他。」（約十四21）我們把握時間來與主交通。把你的愛告訴祂，對祂說：「主阿！您已經深深的愛上了我，我也何等渴慕愛您勝過一切。」

一月二日 你糊里糊塗地出去嗎？ 「亞伯拉罕……出去的時候，還不知往那裡去。」希伯來書十一章8節 你曾像這樣糊里糊塗地出去嗎？如果這樣，人們問你，你便無以回答了。「你將做甚麼？」在基督教事工上，這是一個不易回答的問題。你不知你將要做甚麼，不要緊；但有一件事是應當知道的──神知道祂正在做甚麼。不斷地矯正你對神的態度、靜觀事情的變化、完全信賴你的神吧！只有這種態度叫你永遠驚奇，就是你不知道神將要做甚麼。每天清晨醒來，照著神的信心「出去」。「不要為你的生命憂慮……也不要為你的肉體打算。」……在你未委託神之前所憂慮的事，可以不憂慮了。你曾經問過祂將做甚麼嗎？祂絕不告知你。神不告知你祂將做甚麼；祂只啟示你祂是誰。你相信神妙莫測的神並歸服祂嗎？一直到你對祂所做的任何事情一點也不再驚奇了？ 若你所認識的神，是你與神最接近之時所認識的神，那麼憂慮便是一個極大的錯誤了。讓生命的態度，因信賴神的心，不斷地向前推進。你的生命定有一種不可思議的吸力──使我們的主耶穌基督得到滿足的吸力。你應當超過定見、超過信經、超過經驗，甚至於超過信仰，直到你與神之間沒有一絲兒間隔。

一月二日 「我必使你們順從我的律例」以西結書卅六章27節 屬靈生命的最高境界，乃是自然，如以西結河中湧流的河水完全不費力的情況。一個有經驗泳者在這河中會停止掙扎，因為他會隨著無法抗拒的激流而去。 當神帶領我們，使我們的靈命及習性成為如自然的脈動般時，那時我們就可以享受在祂神聖的豐盛生命裡。 這些屬靈的習性絕不是瞬間的產物，而是慢慢地培養和被建立出來的。開始時，這些習性的養成與任何一種習慣的形成一樣，乃是一種堅決的意志行為。藉著不斷重覆，這些習性才能定型。第一個階段，我們不僅要下功夫、做正確的選擇，還必須堅定立場、堅持到底。如果我們努力不懈，這些行為才會成為我們的第二天性，而且化成推動我們按習慣做事的力量。 聖靈願意在我們基督徒生命中的每一環，都能培養出一些這樣的習性。假使我們一開始就以信心順服祂，那麼我們不僅會很快地擁有順服的心，甚至會視順服為愉快的事。
