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.

二月廿五日 「凡你們腳掌所踏之地，我都……賜給你們了。」約書亞記一章3節 今天除了有許多地方我們還沒有得來歸主以外，還有許多神給的應許，我們也沒有得到。神對約書亞講甚麼呢？「凡你們腳掌所踏之地，我都……賜給你們了」，於是神也把那應許之地的地界畫給他們看——只要是他們腳掌走遍的地方，都歸給他們。 可是他們從來沒有完全走遍所指定的境地，他們只走遍地的三分之一；結果，他們從來沒有完全得著，他們只得著地的三分之一；他們所得著的，正是他們所走遍的，一點都不多。 在彼得後書，我們看見「主所應許的尚未成就」，神的旨意仍舊要我們用信心和順服的腳掌去走遍，然後纔得到。 今天我們中間有多少信徒曾藉基督的名得到神應許的實現呢？ 在我們面前有一塊寬廣的地業，需要我們用信心的腳掌去走遍的，可是我們至今還沒有起步。 讓我們起來去佔有神給我們的一切產業罷！讓我們舉目向東西南北觀看，聽神對我們說：「凡你所看見的一切地，我都要賜給你。」（創十三14—15） ─裴爾遜 凡是猶大腳當所踏之地，就歸猶大；凡是便雅憫所踏之地，就歸便雅憫。每支派都是這樣，只要腳掌一踏下去，那地就歸他們，這樣，你想，豈不是他們的腳掌一踏下去的時候，立刻就會頂自然地覺得：「這是我的了？」 有一次，有人問一位年老而靈歷很深的弟兄：「但以理，為甚麼你有這樣多的平安與喜樂？」他回答說：「哦，先生！我只僕在神極大、極寶貝的應許上，把神應許中一切的豐富算作我的，我就得著了。榮耀啊！榮耀啊！」凡僕在神應許上的，就得著神所有的豐富。 ─譯自信報

February 25 "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you." (Joshua 1:3.) ＢESIDE the literal ground, unoccupied for Christ, there is the unclaimed, untrodden territory of Divine promises. What did God say to Joshua? "Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you," and then He draws the outlines of the Land of Promise─all theirs on one condition: that they shall march through the length and breadth of it, and measure it off with their own feet. They never did that to more than one-third of the property, and consequently they never had more than one-third; they had just what they measured off, and no more. In 2 Peter, we read of the "land of promise" that is opened up to us, and it is God's will that we should, as it were, measure off that territory by the feet of obedient faith and believing obedience, thus claiming and appropriating it for our own. How many of us have ever taken possession of the promises of God in the name of Christ? Here is a magnificent territory for taith to lay hold on and march through the length and breadth of, and faith has never done it yet. Let us enter into all our inheritance. Let us lift up our eyes to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west, and hear Him say, "All the land that thou seest will I give to thee." ─A. T. Pierson. Wherever Judah should set his foot that should be his; wherever Benjamin should set his foot, that should be his. Each should get his inheritance by setting his foot upon it. Now, think you not, when either had set his foot upon a given territory, he did not instantly and instinctively feet, "This is mine"? An old colored man, who had a marvelous experience in grace, was asked: "Daniel, why is it that you have so much peace and joy in religion?" "O Massa!" he replied, "I just fall flat on the exceeding great and precious promises, and I have all that is in them. Glory!" He who falls flat on the promises feels that all the riches embraced in them are his. ─Faith Papers.

二月廿五日 神的道 「神的道是活潑的，是有功效的。」希伯來書四章12節 與神相交，祂的道和禱告，兩者都是必須的；這兩件事在內室中是不能分離的。在祂的道（話）裡，神對我說話；在禱告中，我對神說話。 神的道教導我們認識我們所禱告的神；也告訴我們，神如何喜歡我們禱告。也給我們寶貝的應許，鼓勵我們去禱告；並且也常使我們的禱告得著奇妙的答應。神的道是從神的心裡來的，將神的意念和愛心帶進我們的心裡。然後又從我們的心裡回到神偉大、充滿了愛的心裡，禱告就是神的心與我們的心相交的憑藉。 神的道指教我們明白神的旨意——一方面是祂應許的旨意，關於祂所要為我們作的，使我們的信心得到餵養；另一面是祂命令的旨意，要我們在愛中學習順服。 我越禱告，就越覺得需要神的話，也越因神的話而喜樂。我越多讀神的話，就越充滿了禱告，也越有禱告的能力。沒有禱告的一大原因，就是我們讀神的話讀的太少，或者只是表面的讀，或者只是在人的智慧裡讀。神的道只有藉著聖靈說出來，聖靈也是禱告的靈。祂要教導我們，如何接受神的道，並如何去親近神。 如果我們從神那裡接受神的道，將道化成我們的禱告，也確定的盼望得著答應，這樣的交通將成為何等的祝福，我們的敬拜，將有何等的能力和靈感呢。在內室中，在神面前的隱密處，神的道要藉著聖靈成為我們的喜樂和力量。 神的道在我們心中最深的敬畏裡，並在我們的嘴唇上，以及在我們的生活上，必成為永遠不止息的能力和祝福的泉源。讓我們相信神的道實在是充滿了活潑的力量，能使我們剛強並快樂的盼望，從神那裡接受大的東西。最要緊的，他能帶領我們與那活的神每天都有祝福的相交。 「惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福。」（詩一1）

二月廿五日 缺乏服務 「難道我越發愛你們，就少得你們的愛麼？」哥林多後書十二章15節 自然的愛是盼望圖報的，但是保羅說：「我不管你們愛不愛我，我願意變為赤貧，這不但為你們的緣故，卻是想引你們歸向神。」「因為你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典，祂本來富足，卻為了你們成了貧窮。」保羅服務的觀念，恰恰是這樣──「我不管怎樣犧牲，我是甘心如此的。」也是所謂樂意的事。 教會對於神僕人的觀念與耶穌基督不同。耶穌的觀念是我們服事別人，作別人的僕人，就是服事祂。耶穌基督服務社會是超過了社會主義者。祂說。在祂的國裡算為最大的，就是作眾人的僕人。聖徒真實的測驗，不是宣傳福音，卻是洗門徒的腳，那就是說，人所認為不重要的事，神卻認為最重要的。保羅樂意因神對人類具有的興趣而犧牲自己，而不問代價如何。我們常帶著經濟的動機來規定事情──「如果神要我往那裡去──薪水怎樣？氣候怎樣？人們對我怎樣？無論何人必要考慮這些事。」這一切的一切，表示我們在服事神上留有餘地。保羅在他的生活中，可以代表耶穌在新約中所理想的聖徒，他不僅是宣傳福音，卻是為別人的生命，在耶穌基督的手裡，成為擘開的餅和傾出的酒！

二月廿五日 「我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子……」約翰福音十五章5節 我們如何接受基督做潔淨我們的主，或是醫治我們的神？這個問題經常掛在人們的嘴裡。 答案是，首先我們必須有信心，而且信心的獲得必須靠意志的行為，直到信心變成我們不變的習性。這就好像種一棵樹，你得先以行動把樹種到土裡。然後你必須把樹留在土裡，讓它紮根，直到它的細根能緊緊地深入地裡，從土壤中吸收養分。 這個過程有兩個階段：先種植樹，然後樹根自然習慣地從土裡吸收水分及養分。樹的鬚根必須有充分時間成長，直到它們能用海綿的毛孔，從土壤中得著營養。當那個階段達到之後，樹就可以固定不改變、不費力地由土裡汲取生命；那時它的成長就像我們呼吸一樣的自然。 主啊！求您幫助我住在您裡面，讓我養成從您那裡吸取生命的習慣，使我能真實地說：「我們生活、動作、存留，都在乎祂……。」(徒十七28)
