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.

二月廿七日 「只勝了雅各一人；有一個人來和他摔跤，直到黎明。」創世記卅二章24節 剩下一人！我們各人對於這四個字都有不同的感覺。有人剩下一人時感覺何等孤單、寂寞；也有人剩下一人時感覺幽靜、可得安息。總之，剩下一人而沒有神同在，是太淒涼的事；剩下一人而有主同在的話，是預嘗天上的光景！如果神的兒女能多和祂單獨接觸，我們都要變作屬靈的偉人了。 我們的主給我們作了一個榜樣。多少次數祂獨自去單獨親近神；祂吩咐我們「你禱告的時候，要進你的內屋，關上門。」（太六6）的目的，乃是要我們單獨親近神。 以利亞和以利沙最大的神蹟，乃是在他們單獨親近神的時候出現的。雅各在單獨親近神的時候，成為一個王子。（以色列的意思就是王子）。約書亞在單獨親近神的時候，得到勝利的把握。基甸和耶弗他在單獨親近神的時候，得到神的遣徵。摩西獨自在曠野中的時候，看見神的異象。哥尼流在獨自禱告的時候，看見天使。彼得獨自在房頂上與神單獨接觸的時候，受神托付到外邦人中去。施洗約翰獨自住在曠野；耶穌所愛的門徒約翰獨自在拔摩海鳥上，孤單中他最接近神，所以得到了神最大的啟示。 讓我們渴慕單獨和神親近。如果我們把這件事情忽略了，我們就要失去樹和枝子的交通、能力，以及天上各樣屬靈的福氣。這是何等大的損失呢？並且我們不但剝奪了自己的祝福，也剝奪了別人的祝福，因為在我們自己得到祝福的時候，我們纔能帶祝福給別人。單獨親近神也許要減少我們外面的工作；但是單獨親近神會給我們更大的能力；結果，我們就會「不見一人，只見耶穌在那裏。」（太十七8）

February 27 "And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day."(Gen. 32:24.) ＬEFT alone! What different sensations those words conjure up to each of us. To some they spell loneliness and desolation, to others rest and quiet. To be left alone without God, would be too awful for words, but to be left alone with Him is a foretaste of Heaven! If His followers spent more time alone with Him, we should have spiritual giants again. The Master set us an example. Note how often He went to be alone with God; and He had a mighty purpose behind the command, "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray." The greatest miracles of Elijah and Elisha took place when they were alone with God. It was alone with God that Jacob became a prince; and just there that we, too, may become princes─"men (aye, and women too!) wondered at" (Zech. 3:8). Joshua was alone when the Lord came to him. (Josh. 1:1.) Gideon and Jephthah were by themselves when commissioned to save Israel. (Judges 6:11 and 11:29.) Moses was by himself at the wilderness bush. (Exodus 3:1-5.) Cornelius was praying by himself when the angel came to him. (Acts 10:2.) No one was with Peter on the house top, when he was instructed to go to the Gentiles. (Acts 10:9.) John the Baptist was alone in the wilderness (Luke 1:80), and John the Beloved alone in Patmos, when nearest God. (Rev. 1:9.) Covet to get alone with God. If we neglect it, we not only rob ourselves, but others too, of blessing, since when we are blessed we are able to pass on blessing to others. It may mean less outside work; it must mean more depth and power, and the consequence, too, will be "they saw no man save Jesus only."

二月廿七日 神的榮耀 「但願祂……得著榮耀，直到世世代代、永永遠遠。」以弗所書三章21節 神自己必須將祂的榮耀先啟示給我們，只有這樣，我們才能正確地認識祂並榮耀祂。 在大自然裡，沒有一種奇異的形像，比星光燦爛的天空更能述說神的榮耀。因著望遠鏡的發達，天文學家早就宣佈了神在宇宙中的各樣奇事；並且又因天文攝影的方法，發現了許多新奇的領域。一塊照相的感光片，放在天文望遠鏡底下，可以照出千萬個用最好的望遠鏡所不能看見的眾星。人必須站在一邊，讓諸天彰顯它自己的榮耀；原先不能看見的遙遠眾星，現在就能將他們的影像留在底片上了。 我們渴慕在神的話裡看見祂的榮耀，這是一個何等重要的功課。請將你自己的努力放一邊，讓你的心像照相的底片一樣，等候神來啟示祂的榮耀；而這底片必須是清潔預備好了的。讓你的心藉著神的靈，也蒙預備得潔淨：「清心的人有福了，因為他們必得見神。」底片必須不動，你的心也要安靜在神面前。底片有時為著感光要暴露七八個鐘點，以便接受最遠的星完全的印象；你的心也要多花時間安靜地等候神，祂必啟示祂的榮耀。 如果你安靜在神面前，給祂時間，祂就要將意念放在你的心裡，這對於你自己和別人，也許是不可言喻的祝福。祂要在你裡面造出渴慕和傾向祂的心，正像祂榮耀的光線，照著你一樣。 今天早晨就學習這一個。在極深的謙卑裡，獻上你的靈，並且相信神要在祂聖潔的愛裡，啟示祂自己。祂的榮耀要降臨在你的身上。你自己也要覺得需要給祂夠多的時間，以便讓祂作祝福的工作。 「惟耶和華在祂的聖殿中，全地的人都當在祂面前肅敬靜默。」（哈二20）「我的心哪，你當默默無聲，專等候神，因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」（詩六二5）「神已經照在我們心裡，叫我們得知神榮耀的光，顯在耶穌基督的面上。」（林後四6）「要休息，要知道我是神。」（詩四六10）

二月廿七日 耶穌的事工被人限制了 「你從那裡得活水呢？」約翰福音四章11節 「井又深」──比撒瑪利亞婦人所知道的深得多！想想人性和人生的深度，想想你裡面「井」的深度。你曾經限制了耶穌的事工，叫祂不能做甚麼？設使在你心裡面有憂慮之井，而耶穌來對你說：「你們心裡不要憂愁；」你必聳聳你的肩，回答說：「但是，主啊，井又深；你不能從它取出平靜和安慰來。」不必這樣，祂能從上面帶下來。耶穌不能從人性的井裡取出甚麼來。我們根據以往的經驗說：「當然，我不能盼望神做這件事」，這便是限制了神。只有那全能者能把這事做成功。就是這件事我們為門徒者應當相信祂要做成功的。我們一忘記祂是全能的，就限制了祂的事工，這種限制是在我們，不在祂。我們肯說耶穌，把祂當為安慰者或同情者，並不肯把祂當為全能者。 我們有些人成為基督教的可憐的標本，正因為我們沒有全能的基督。我們有基督的屬性和經驗，只是沒有完全歸於耶穌基督。當我們陷於困難的境遇，我們就會這麼說──「自然，祂不能做甚麼，」還是我們自己下到深處，為自己取水吧！當心以沉入為滿足，反說：「這是做不到的。」你當知道，如果你仰望耶穌，那是能做到的。你的那口不完全的井雖深，但是致力於祂，仰望於祂是有辦法的。

二月廿七日 「……必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。」彼得前書五章10節 當我們與基督建立友誼時，首先在心理上，我們必須有足夠的知識亮光來滿足我們，使我們肯定我們有資格與主做朋友。因為我們心中若有一絲的疑問，就會使我們失去信心。我們既明白這個道理，就應該下定決心、做個選擇。而那個決心必須像樹得種在土裡，新娘必須走到證婚壇前一樣確定。當我們下決心時，我們應該堅決地、毫無保留、絕不後悔地做這個決定。 在友誼成長的過程中，難免會有一段不穩、考驗的時期，直到這友誼逐漸變得堅固，如同永恆的關係。這就像外科醫師必須使用夾板來固定病人折斷的手臂，使斷的部份不致移動，直到骨頭再度長合起來。我們的神也使用屬靈的夾板，使祂的兒女能安靜、不致動搖，直到他們走過信心的第一階段。 也許這並不容易，但是請記得「那賜諸般恩典的神，曾在基督裡召你們，得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。」(彼前五10)
