1:1 當三十年四月初五日，以西結〔原文是我〕在迦巴魯河邊被擄的人中，天就開了，得見 神的異象。 In the 1:1 Or (((my))) thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
1:2 正是約雅斤王被擄去第五年四月初五日， On the fifth of the month--it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin-- 1:3 在迦勒底人之地、迦巴魯河邊，耶和華的話特特臨到布西的兒子祭司以西結；耶和華的靈〔原文是手〕降在他身上。 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, 1:3 Or ((Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest)) by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. 1:3 Or ((Chaldeans)) There the hand of the LORD was upon him. 1:4 我觀看，見狂風從北方颳來，隨著有一朵包括閃爍火的大雲，周圍有光輝；從其中的火內發出好像光耀的精金； I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 1:5 又從其中顯出四個活物的形像來。他們的形狀是這樣：有人的形像， and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, 1:6 各有四個臉面，四個翅膀。 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 1:7 他們的腿是直的，腳掌好像牛犢之蹄，都燦爛如光明的銅。 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 1:8 在四面的翅膀以下有人的手。這四個活物的臉和翅膀乃是這樣： Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 1:9 翅膀彼此相接，行走並不轉身，俱各直往前行。 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. 1:10 至於臉的形像：前面各有人的臉，右面各有獅子的臉，左面各有牛的臉，後面各有鷹的臉。 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 1:11 各展開上邊的兩個翅膀相接，各以下邊的兩個翅膀遮體。 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 1:12 他們俱各直往前行。靈往哪裏去，他們就往那裏去，行走並不轉身。 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 1:13 至於四活物的形像，就如燒著火炭的形狀，又如火把的形狀。火在四活物中間上去下來，這火有光輝，從火中發出閃電。 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 1:14 這活物往來奔走，好像電光一閃。 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning. 1:15 我正觀看活物的時候，見活物的臉旁各有一輪在地上。 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 1:16 輪的形狀和顏色〔原文是作法〕好像水蒼玉。四輪都是一個樣式，形狀和作法好像輪中套輪。 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 1:17 輪行走的時候，向四方都能直行，並不掉轉。 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about 1:17 Or ((aside)) as the creatures went. 1:18 至於輪輞，高而可畏；四個輪輞周圍滿有眼睛。 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. 1:19 活物行走，輪也在旁邊行走；活物從地上升，輪也都上升。 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 1:20 靈往哪裏去，活物就往那裏去；活物上升，輪也在活物旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 1:21 那些行走，這些也行走；那些站住，這些也站住；那些從地上升，輪也在旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 1:22 活物的頭以上有穹蒼的形像，看著像可畏的水晶，鋪張在活物的頭以上。 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome. 1:23 穹蒼以下，活物的翅膀直張，彼此相對；每活物有兩個翅膀遮體。 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. 1:24 活物行走的時候，我聽見翅膀的響聲，像大水的聲音，像全能者的聲音，也像軍隊鬨嚷的聲音。活物站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, 1:24 Hebrew ((Shaddai)) like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings. 1:25 在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有聲音。他們站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 1:26 在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有寶座的形像，彷彿藍寶石；在寶座形像以上有彷彿人的形狀。 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, 1:26 Or ((lapis lazuli)) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 1:27 我見從他腰以上有彷彿光耀的精金，周圍都有火的形狀，又見從他腰以下有彷彿火的形狀，周圍也有光輝。 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 1:28 下雨的日子，雲中虹的形狀怎樣，周圍光輝的形狀也是怎樣。這就是耶和華榮耀的形像。我一看見就俯伏在地，又聽見一位說話的聲音。 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

二月十三日 「山地也要歸你。」約書亞記十七章18節 山上有寬暢的地盤，平原上住滿了迦南人，他們都有鐵車阻礙你的擴張，所以你該上山去，佔據山上的地業。也許今日你受阻不能為神作工，你該求神興起能作工的。也許你的話語不能感動人，你可以感動天。也許你的工作受經濟、人才、恩賜、以及種種難處的限制，你可以在上面看不見的、永活的神那裏發展。 山上有樹林的攔阻，然而憑著信心可以砍伐。當初以色列各支派雖然明知山上有寬地和寶藏，他們還不敢自信能砍伐叢密的樹林，開路上山。但是神指示他們、提醒他們：他們有足彀的力量可以把樹木砍去。今天許多的攔阻，許多似乎不可能的事情，擺在我們面前，像山上的樹林一般，並不是來嘲笑我們的，乃是來催促我們向神懇求應許和支取力量的。 每一次難處來到，都是暗示我們神怎樣答應我們信心的禱告和工作的。讀者，你覺得平原太窄小麼？上山去罷，住在那裏，在那裏發展罷，在那裏你可以從磐石中得蜜，從地中得寶藏。 ─譯自日誠報 可曾遇到， 被認為跨不過的大江？ 可曾遇到， 被認為鑿不通的山崗？ 別人說不可能做的事， 我們都能， 克復任何不可能， 是我們的專長。 ─巴拿馬運河工人之歌

February 13 "The hill country shall be thine."(Josh.17:18, R. V.) ＴHERE is always room higher up. When the valleys are full of Canaanites, whose iron chariots withstand your progress, get up into the hills, occupy the upper spaces. If you can no longer work for God, pray for those who can. If you cannot move earth by your speech, you may move Heaven. If the development of life on the lower slopes is impossible, through limitations of service, the necessity of maintaining orthers, and such-like restrictions, let it break out toward the unseen, the eternal, the Divine. Faith can fell forests. Even if the tribes had realized what treasures lay above them, they would hardly have dared to suppose it possible to rid the hills of their dense forest-growth. But as God indicated their task, He reminded them that they had power enough. The visions of things that seem impossible are presented to us, like these forest-covered steeps, not to mock us, but to incite us to spiritual exploits which would be impossible unless God had stored within us the great strength of His own indwelling. Difficulty is sent to reveal to us what God can do in answer to the faith that prays and works. Are you straitened in the valleys? Get away to the hills, live there; get honey out of the rock, and wealth out of the terraced slopes now hidden by forest. ─Daily Devotional Commentary. Got any rivers they say are uncrossable, Got any mountains they say `can't tunnel through'? We specialize in the wholly impossible, Doing the things they say you can't do. ─Song of the Panama builders.

二月十三日 聖靈 「我們藉著祂被一個聖靈所感，得以進到父面前。」以弗所書二章18節 我們在內室中與神相交的時候，必須防備一個危險，就是在知識和情感的力量裡，去尋求認識神和基督。神將聖靈賜給我們，為要叫我們藉著祂得以在子裡親近父。讓我們儆醒，恐怕因為我們沒有等候聖靈的引導，使我們的工作歸於徒然。 基督在最後一夜，將這一個真理教導祂的門徒。講到訓慰師的來到，祂說：「到那日，你們要奉我的名求父；求就必得著，叫你們的喜樂，可以滿足。」讓我們抓著這個真理，就是神賜給我們聖靈的目的，為要教導我們如何禱告。祂能使我們與父及子的交通，成為一個蒙祝福的實際。你當堅定地相信，祂是秘密地在你裡面工作。當你進入內室的時候，要將你自己完全服在祂的引導之下。祂是引導你禱告和敬拜的導師。 在復活那一天晚上，基督對祂的門徒說：「你們受聖靈。」是為著要堅固他們，在十天的禱告中接受聖靈的豐富。這一個使我們想起在禱告親近神的時候，應當記牢三件事： （一）我們禱告的時候，一定要相信，聖靈是住在我裡面。要心裡安靜，確定地將自己降服在祂的引導之下。為這個要擺上時間。 （二）要相信聖靈「更大的工作」，就是要光照並加強我們屬靈的生命——聖靈的充滿——要相信祂一定按著我們所禱告的賜給我們。 （三）我們要相信，藉著聖靈與神所有的兒女聯合，求聖靈在祂的教會和子民身上，大大的作工。 「信我的人，就如經上所說，從他腹中要流出活水的江河來。」（約七38）你信麼？

二月十三日 敬聽之誠 「請說，僕人敬聽。」撒母耳記上三章10節 我是專聽神的某一件事，不是，聽祂說一切的事。我向神表示不愛，和不恭敬的方法，是我的心靈對於祂所說的毫無感覺。如果我愛我的朋友，我便能直覺地窺知他所需要的。而耶穌說：「你們是我的朋友。」我這個禮拜曾違背我主的某條命令麼？如果我察覺是耶穌的命令，我必不故意違背它；但是我們多數人表示輕慢神，甚至連祂所說的，我們都不聽，這便等於祂沒有說一樣。 我靈性生命的鵠的，是與耶穌基督的相同；我時時聽神，我才知道神時時聽我（約十一42）。 如果我與耶穌基督聯合，專心聽祂，才能以專心敬聽之誠而聽神。一朵百合花，或一棵樹，或一個神僕人，也許將神的使命帶給我。我有許多別的事要辦，這就阻攔我聽不見了。並不是我不肯聽神，卻是我沒有敬聽之誠。我專心事物，我專心服務，我專心信念；所以神向我說話，我便聽不見了。小孩的態度總是這樣：「主啊，請說，僕人敬聽。」如果我沒有培養這種聽聞之誠，我只能在某時間聽見神的聲音；在其他的時間，我又為別的事所佔──為我所說的話，我要辦的事佔住了──使我變成聾子聽不見神，這不像小孩子的生活。我今天曾留心聽過神的聲音麼？

二月十三日 「……你的禱告……達到神面前，已蒙記念了。」使徒行傳十章4節 天使對哥尼流所說的是何等美的話語：你的禱告已蒙記念了。這彷彿就像多年來累積在主寶座前的祈求，終於有了答覆。神滿滿地祝福哥尼流，宛如久旱之後的乾地，突然之間得到甘霖。 我們的禱告如同馨香之氣，神把所有的祈求都收集起來。並且把馨香之氣像芬芳的花朵一樣保留在祂的室內，作為不斷的記念。當時候合宜時，神就會回答這些祈求。那時，地面上或許有異象、大光，而且我們會看到神實現祂國度的奇蹟。 我們被稱為「神所記念的人」，並被任命不分晝夜晨昏地向神祈禱。只要時候到了，神就會答覆，並給我們累積已久的祝福。 沒有任何一句禱詞會被神遺忘，我們等得越久，所累積的祝福就越大。
