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.

三月一日 「你要察看神的作為，因神使為曲的，誰能變為直呢？」傳道書七章13節 神似乎常把他的兒女放在極困難的處境中，使他們無法逃避，也無法解決。 這種處境絕非人類的判斷所能解決的，但這種陰暗際遇，自有其目的，也許你正在陷入這種際遇之中。 似乎你的遭遇是頂煩惱，頂嚴重，你也不懂得為甚麼神要如此待你，但是神的處理決沒有錯誤。不久你就會看見祂的美意。你所處的地位是一個戲臺，你正在戲臺上表演神的榮耀、恩典和權能。 祂不只要施行拯救；祂也要藉此使你學習一個不能遺忘的功課，叫你在事情經過之後，還能常常唱出新的讚美來發出足彀的感謝來。 ─選 「我們知道， 一切都在主的統馭之中， 所以我們必需靜待祂的解釋」 我雖模糊， 主，您卻完全知道， 總有一天， 您會解釋其中奧秘， 那時我才會明白是您最好的安排， 這些曲折， 正是教訓我對您的順服。 給我圍上了藩籬， 使我途徑成為曲折， 我的目光雖遊移不定， 但您卻成了目標； 糾正了我的不耐與高傲， 轉移了我的心， 只聽您的呼召。 我感謝您與讚美您曲折的安排， 我雖不知道， 還是一心信靠， 您把我作了試煉， 何等忭幸， 我要緊緊依靠著您的指導。

March 1 "Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked.(Eccles. 7:13.) ＯFTEN God seems to place His children in positions of profound difficulty, leading them into a wedge from which there is no escape; contriving a situation which no human judgment would have permitted, had it been previously consulted. The very cloud conducts them thither. You may be thus involved at this very hour. It does seem perplexing and very serious to the last degree, but it is perfectly right. The issue will more than justify Him who has brought you hither. It is a platform for the display of His almighty grace and power. He will not only deliver you; but in doing so, He will give you a lesson that you will never forget, and to which, in many a psalm and song, in after days, you will revert. You will never be able to thank God enough for having done just as He has. ─Selected. "We may wait till He explains, Because we know that Jesus reigns." It puzzles me; but, Lord, Thou understandest, And wilt one day explain this crooked thing. Meanwhile, I know that it has worked out thy best─ Its very crookedness taught me to cling. Thou hast fenced up my ways, made my paths crooked, To keep my wand'ring eyes fixed on Thee; To make me what I was not, humble, patient; To draw my heart from earthly love to Thee. So I will thank and praise Thee for this puzzle, And trust where I cannot understand. Rejoicing Thou dost hold me worth such testing, I cling the closer to Thy guiding hand. ─F.E.M.I.
■ 永活之泉（03月01日）
三月一日 代禱 「互相代求。」雅各書五章16節 禱告中藏著何等榮耀的奧秘！一方面我們看見神在祂聖潔、慈愛、權能中等待著，渴望著要祝福人；而另一方面，一個猶如塵土中小蟲般微不足道的罪人，竟可藉著禱告帶下天上的生命及愛，住在人的裡面。 然而，代禱的榮耀更是何等大！當一個人大膽地對神說出他對別人之期望時，他尋求神，而神卻賜下祂的永遠生命之無窮大能及一切福氣，不止臨到某一個人，更可能是臨到千萬的人。 代禱！誰能說這不是作神兒女的膽量之最神聖的操練，以及與神交通的最高特權與享受？——也是神所使用的能力，作為工具，為了祂偉大的工作，就是使人成為祂的居所並彰顯祂的榮耀、誰能不認為代禱是教會該用以作為恩典的一個主要憑藉，並該盡一切的力量來培植神的兒女，成為這將毀世界不住禱告的能力。 誰不期望信徒們既已相當進入了這個秘訣將感覺到合一的力量是何等大，同時更確信神將為著祂所揀選的人，在祂面前晝夜的呼籲伸冤？只有當基督徒停止尋求外面合一的幫助，而專一地向寶座，並且對耶穌基督不住的奉獻，不停歇的祈求聖靈的能力，才會使教會穿上彩色的外衣和能力，以勝過世界。 禱告： 我們慈愛的父神，垂聽我們的禱告，並且教導您的教會教導我們每一個人，使我們知道代禱的榮耀、祝福，也是戰勝一切的力量。我們求您使我們看見代禱之於您，乃是您實現您那可稱頌主旨意的路——正如代禱之於我們，乃是我們君尊祭司權柄的運用。對於您的教會及將滅亡的人而言，乃是藉著代禱帶下滿有能力的聖靈——奉主耶穌的名。阿們。

三月一日 經常的問語 「你愛我麼？」約翰福音廿一章17節 彼得現在不敢回答甚麼（參太廿六33─35）。未改變的人固然要表白；而彼得的愛，因耶穌基督問語的刺激才能表白。彼得之愛耶穌，正如常人愛好人一樣。那是天性的愛；這也許進入人的深處，但不能觸到一個人的中心。真愛絕不講大語。耶穌說：「凡在人面前承認我的，」（太十32）那就是說，承認祂的愛，不但是用言語，卻也用行為。 若我們不棄掉一切自抬身價的事，神的道就無法與我們發生關係。罪惡能把感覺弄鈍，但是神的道刺激我們，比罪之刺激還要厲害。主的問語，叫情感緊張，直到被耶穌所刺，刺到妙極不能以言語形容的所在。這不是一種平常的刺激，卻是個人密切關係上的刺激。主的道把我們心靈刺成片碎，毫無迷惑存留。切不能把主的問語看為感傷的情調。當主直接向你說話的時候，你不可回答好聽的話，因為它是一種很重的刺激。當主的道刺激到祂兒女的時候，那刺激從不會錯誤的。同時應該知道刺激的焦點就是啟示的最高點。

三月一日 「要等候耶和華……」詩篇廿七章14節 在聖經中，雖然等候耶和華出現了很多次，但是瞭解的人並不多。有位老神父稱等候耶和華為「操練與神同在」；我則認為等候神是有禱告的習慣，是時時與主交通，不僅求且接受主的話語。有時有些人會要我們為他們禱告，而我們得說：「為什麼？神已回答了我們為你作的祈禱，神的答案正等著你了，但你必須在主前等候才能得到。」 當我們等候主時，就必須重新得力，直到我們「如鷹展翅上騰，奔跑卻不睏倦，行走卻不疲乏。」由於我們的心極有限，無法一口氣就全然接受祂豐富的一切，我們必須處在與祂同在的環境下，直到我們能完全得著祂的生命。這並且是屬靈深度，得享安息，充滿能力、愛和禱告，盼望和事奉的秘訣。所以我說，要等候神。 在神聖潔施恩座前， 我等候享受與主交通， 我在享受、甜美地享受我的主。 在祂腳前，我安靜地坐著， 深深地汲取祂的豐富生命， 傾聽祂輕聲的話語。
