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.

二月六日 「祂將海變成乾地；眾民步行過河；我們在那裏因祂歡喜。」詩篇六六篇6節 按常情說來，百姓過紅海時，波濤在兩邊翻騰，追兵在後面吶喊，他們一定驚恐、戰慓、痛苦、倉皇；可是作詩篇的人竟說，「我們在那裏」——大水中——「因祂歡喜」。 有多少信徒能有這樣經歷：「在那裏」——在一個失望的絕境中，一個外患內憂的時候，能「因祂歡喜」？ 「在那裏」立約的神來了！「在那裏」衪的應許實現了！「在那裏」仇敵消滅了！「在那裏」信不過來的經歷嘗到了！如果不「在那裏」，在一個順利的境遇中，即使花盡力氣去找，也找不到這些榮耀的事實。好像白日有了陽光，把星光遮掩了；黑夜一到，滿天的明星出現了——經上的應許、安慰、盼望，也都是在憂愁之夜出現的。 像雅各在「雅博」一樣，日落之後，才有天使前來，我們經過虔誠祈禱之後，才能獲得結果。 亞倫在夜晚點燃神燈，在困苦艱難之夜晚，信徒的明燈，放出最燦爛的光亮。 拔摩海島上的約翰，在孤單淒涼中得見主榮耀的異象。今天在地上仍有許多荒涼的拔摩海島，那裏有主的愛和恩典，有主的同在，可以消滅孤單和憂愁。讀者，你願不願意去呢？ 有多少旅客，在經過紅海和約但河的苦難時，能一心想念神，說：「我們步行過河，在那裏─在這些黑暗的經歷裏，在波濤四邊翻騰的光景裏一因祂歡喜。」 ─馬克特夫 「……從那裏……我必賜他葡萄園，又賜他亞割谷作為指望的門，他必在那裏歌唱。」（何二15）

February 6 "He truned the sea into dry land; they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him." (Psalm 66:6.) ＩT is a striking assertion, "through the floods" (the place where we might have expected nothing but trembling and terror, anguish and dismay) "there," says the Psalmist, "did we rejoice in him!" How many there are who can endorse this as their experience: that "there," in their very seasons of distress and sadness, they have been enabled, as they never did before, to trumph and rejoice. How near their God in covenant is brought! How brightly shine His promises! In the day of our prosperity we cannot see the brilliancy of these. Like the sun at noon, hiding out the stars from sight, they are indiscernible; but when night overtakes, the deep, dark night of sorrow, out come these clustering stars─blessed constellations of Bible hope and promise of consolation. Like Jacob at Jabbok, it is when our earthly sun goes down that the Divine Angel comes forth, and we wrestle with Him and prevail. It was at night, "in the evening," Aaron lit the sanctuary lamps. It is in the night of trouble the brightest lamps of the believer are often kindled. It was in his loneliness and exile John had the glorious vision of his Redeemer. There is many a Patmos still in the world, whose brightest remembrances are those of God's presence and upholding grace and love in solitude and sadness. How many pilgrims, still passing through these Red Seas and Jordans of earthly affliction, will be enabled in the retrospect of eternity to say─full of the memories of God's great goodness─ "We went through the flood on foot, there─there, in these dark experiences, with the surging waves on very side, deep calling to deep, Jordan, as when Israel crossed it, in`the time of the overflowing; (flood), yet, there did we rejoice in Him!'" ─ Dr. Macduff. "And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the door of trouble for a door of hope: and she shall sting THERE." (Hosea 2:15.)

二月六日 神臉上的光 「神就是光。」約翰一書一章5節 「耶和華是我的亮光。」詩篇廿七篇1節 每早晨太陽升起，我們行走在祂的光中，歡歡喜喜地作各樣該作的事。無論我們想不想，太陽的光總是整天照著我們。每天早晨，神的光也照著祂的兒女。但如果我們要享受主臉上的光。我們的心必須轉向神，相信祂，好讓祂的光照著我們。 如果在午夜有條船遇了險，那水手們是怎樣熱切地等候早晨快到呢？他們要發出多少的嘆息，說甚麼時候天才發亮呢？照樣，基督徒也必須這樣等候神，忍耐的等候，直到祂的光照著了他。 「我的心等候主，勝於守夜的，等候天亮。」（詩一三○6） 哦，我的心哪！每天用這些話來開始禱告： 「求您使您的臉光照僕人。」（詩卅一16） 「耶和華啊！求您仰起臉來，光照我們。」（詩四6） 「使您的臉發光，我們便要得救。」（詩八十3、7、19） 不要停止使用這些話，直到你知道祂臉上的光和祝福已經賜給了你。這樣，你就要認識這個真理：「他們在您臉上的光裡行走，他們因您的名終日歡樂。」（詩八十九15—16） 神的兒女們，相信你的父是熱切地盼望你一直歡樂居住在祂的光中。天上的光就是天父臉上的光，是絕對需要的，正像你每個時候需要太陽的光一樣。而且，我們接受享受這日光，我們就可以相信，神是極其願意讓祂的光照著我們的。 就是在有雲的時候，太陽仍舊在那裡；所以，當我們在各樣難處中的時候，神的光仍然不止息地照著我們。如果你知道太陽已經升起了，你就能完全依靠這光行走。照樣，如果早晨神的光是實在的照亮了你，你也能整天靠著這光行走。 不要停止追求，直到你說：「有許多人說：誰能將良善啟示我們呢？主啊，求您仰起臉來，光照我們。」要花時間追求，直到光照亮在你心裡，你也能誠實地說：「主是我們的亮光，是我的拯救。」（詩廿七1）

二月六日 你準備獻上麼？ 「我現在被澆奠，……」提摩太后書四章6節 「我現在準備獻上。」這是一種意志的活動。不是情緒的活動。向神陳明你準備獻上的志願，不問結果，不發怨言。隨神之所好。神把你置於危險中，是無人能助你的。外面的生活也許是一樣的；裡面的意志卻有分別。如果在意志上有所決定，則於發動行為的時候，絕不會計及代價的問題。如果你的意志不與神站在一條線上，終結你是憐惜你自己。 「用繩索捆著犧牲，拴在祭壇角上。」祭壇的意義是火──焚燒，潔淨，隔離，只有一個目的。破壞一切不合神意見的事，破壞一切不合神契約的契約。不必要你毀壞它，神卻要毀壞它；你將犧牲捆在祭壇角上；當心，火燒的時候，你不可因憐恤的心腸而讓步。火燒以後，壓迫或抑制，一切都沒有了。每當危機臨到，你會認定往昔那些觸動你的事，不會觸動你。你經過火燒以後是怎樣的呢？ 向神陳明你準備獻上的心腸；神必向你表證祂自己，超過你的幻想。

二月六日 「隨時多方……為眾聖徒祈求。」以弗所書六章18節 這個忠告是何等寶貴呀！停止花過多的時間專為自己禱告，開始無私地代求，神必然會加添你更多信心，而且幫助你發現別人的需要，要比為自己所關心的事而求告容易地多。 試試為舉世、為確定的事、為困難的事、為榮耀的事，為能高舉基督拯救世人的事而祈求。當你在這些方面得到一些美好的答覆之後，你再為自己小小的負擔祈求時，必定會覺得信心倍增，因此我們應該不斷地為眾聖徒祈求。 你可曾學習過讓神照顧你，把自己一切心思力量都放在為聖徒祈求的功課？為他人代禱能使我從千千萬萬的負擔裡得到釋放，這樣的操練能使我們進入更偉大高尚的境界，並且教導我們像神一樣地為他人而活、而愛。主啊！求您使我們脫離自私的禱告，給我們充滿愛的信心，叫我們面對這個日日沈淪的世界時，能有基督悲天憫人的心。
