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.

三月六日 「我們曾信……」路加福音廿四章21節（直譯） 我常常覺得很是難過：往以馬忤斯去的兩個門徒不對耶穌說：「我們仍信」；卻說：「我們曾信……。」可憐，他們以為事情都完了。 他們若說：「似乎每一件事情都使我們失望；似乎我們的信心落了空，但是我們並不灰心；我們相信我們要再見祂……」豈不好麼？可惜他們並沒有這麼說，他們站在祂旁邊，臉上帶著愁容，以為主已死了三天；難怪主責備他們說：「無知的人哪……你們的心，信得太遲鈍了！」（25節） 親愛的，我們有否相似的情形，受主同樣的責備？我們寧可放棄任何東西，每一件東西，卻不能放棄對主的信心。 讓我們不像這兩個門徒一樣，把我們的信心變成過去式——「我們曾信…。」讓我們永遠堅持現在式的信心—─「我們永信。」 ─碎錦 溫暖的春天已去， 那枝頭開滿如錦鮮花。 玫瑰怒放的季節， 我曾盼望， 現在仍在盼望祂…… 如今玫瑰不開， 花事闌珊， 若畏縮躊躇， 我的信心何顢頇； 尤其風雪欲來的此刻， 若灰心失望， 更是脆弱可歎。 ─風雪中小鳥之歌

March 6 "We trusted." (Luke 24:21.) ＩHAVE always felt so sorry that in that walk to Emmaus the disciples had not said to Jesus, "We still trust"; instead of "We trusted." That is so sad─something that is all over. If they had only said, "Everything is against our hope; it looks as if our trust was vain, but we do not give up; we believe we shall see Him again." But no, they walked by His side declaring their lost faith, and He had to say to them "O fools, and slow of heart to believe!" Are we not in the same danger of having these words said to us? We can afford to lose anything and everything if we do not lose our faith in the God of truth and love. Let us never put our faith, as these disciples did, in a past tense─"We trusted." But let us ever say, "I am trusting." ─Crumbs. The soft, sweet summer was warm and glowing, Bright were the blossoms on every bough: I trusted Him when the roses were blooming; I trust Him now.... Small were my faith should it weakly falter Now that the roses have ceased to blow; Frail were the trust that now should alter, Doubting His love when storm clouds grow. ─The Song of a Bird in a Winter Storm.

三月六日 基督為代禱者 「凡靠著祂進到神面前的人，祂都能拯救到底；因為祂是長遠活著，替他們祈求。」 當神在以賽亞書裡說過祂找不到一個代禱者，就甚詫異；接著又說：「祂用自己的膀臂施行拯救。必有一位救贖主來到錫安。」（賽五九16、20）神親自預備一位真正的代求者，祂曾論到祂的兒子基督：「……祂卻擔當多人的罪，又為罪犯代求。」（賽五三12） 基督在世上的生活中，已經開始祂代禱的職事。試想主為著祂的門徒及一切信祂名的人那個大祭司的禱告。再想想祂對彼得所說的話：「我已為你禱告，使你不致失去信心。」——這就證明祂的代禱是非常個人的。在十字架上，祂代禱著：「父啊，赦免他們」。 神如今已坐在神的右邊，祂仍為大祭司，繼續不斷地作代禱的工作。所不同者，祂將這個權利賜給祂的門徒，使他們也有份於祂的事工。在祂臨別談話中，七次的保證他們無論向祂求甚麼，祂都為他們成全。 天上的權能已賜給了人。神的恩典與權能等著人向祂祈求。藉著聖靈的引導，人能知道神的旨意。他們學習在信心中奉祂名祈求。祂要將他們的祈求帶到神面前，藉著祂和門徒們同心的代禱，使教會披戴聖靈的權能。 禱告： 可稱頌的救贖主啊：您呼召我們有份於您的代禱，乃是何等奇妙的恩典。我們喚醒您蒙救贖的兒女，使我們得知我們所蒙的呼召是何其榮耀，並得知您的救會在軟弱中，仍能因奉您的名代求而將天上極豐盛的祝福帶下。求您的聖靈在人裡面作工，使您的子民深深懊悔我們限制了禱告，以及懶惰、不信、自私的罪，深信您的愛使您的渴望賜下禱告的靈，以答應我們的祈求——奉您的名。阿們。

三月六日 一大堆無謂的事 「就如在許多的忍耐、患難、窮乏、困苦……」哥林多後書六章4節 於無異象，無監護者的時候，要對付當前的順從，當前的研究，當前的瀏覽，當前的烹調；非訴之於全能的恩惠不可。你欲完成當前的本分，沒有從神來的異象，沒有勉勵，沒有監護者更是不行。傳福音固然重要，而此時此刻蒙神的恩惠，而與神親近，更為重要。 每個基督徒應具有基督化身成人的本質，要把事物帶到血肉的實際，要胼手胝足地行出來。我們沒有見異象，沒有得援助，即在平常的小事上也會停駐不前的。為神為人作一勞永逸之計，是在隱秘裡工作，要想保全生命，唯一的方法，是瞻仰神。求神打開你的靈眼，定睛仰望升天的基督，苦役絕不能挫折你。常常拋開心裡的瑣事，要達到約翰福音第十三章的程度！

三月六日 「……不可依靠自己的聰明。」箴言三章5節 我們若依靠人的智慧，無論是自己的或是他人的，那麼信心就會受到阻礙。撒但給夏娃的第一個魚餌，就是提供她智慧；為了得著智慧，夏娃把信心賣了。創世記三章5節說：「……你們喫的日子眼睛就亮了，你們便如神能知道善惡。」從那以後，夏娃開始用她的智慧，不再依靠神。 使以色列民族無法如期進入神所應許之地的，乃是那些探子，因為他們在窺探迦南之後，做了一個很嚇人的報告，所以以色列民族變得沒有信心，更使得那一代所有的以色列人都無法進入迦南地。那些探子的名字幾乎都像徵人類的智慧、偉大和名聲，這是很有意義的。 基督在世的時候，猶太人一方面受到祖宗傳統的捆綁，一方面受到議論的影響，使他們不願接受主耶穌。主曾問猶太人：「你們互相受榮耀，卻不求從獨一之神來的榮耀，怎能信我呢？」(約五44) 讓我們專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明。
