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.

十二月廿九日 「起來……我們已經窺探那地，見那地甚好。你們為何靜坐不動呢？要急速前往得那地為業，不可遲延……神已將那地交在你們手中，那地百物俱全，一無所缺。」士師記十八章9、10節 起來！有許多土地等著我們去得。我們如果靜坐不動，沒有一件東西會落到我們手中。「約瑟的兒子瑪拿西、以法蓮，就得了他們的地業。」（書十六4） 「雅各家必得原有的產業。」（俄17）「惟有完全人，必承受福分。」（箴廿八10）產業和福分都是要去得、去承受的。 對於神的應許，我們當有「據為己有」的信心。我們當把神的話算為我們個人的產業。有一次，一位教員問一個孩子道：「甚麼是據為己有的信心？」孩子回答說：「據為己有的信心乃是：拿一枝紅筆，把聖經上所有的「我」，「我的」，下面，都畫上紅線。」 凡是主所說的無論那一句話，你都可以把你的手指放在上面說：「這是我的」。讀者啊，有多少應許你能說：「在我身上已經成就了」呢？ 「兒阿，你常和我同在，我一切所有的，都是你的。」（路十五31）親愛的啊!不要因懈怠失去你的遺產啊! 信心上市場的時候，總是帶著籃子的。

December 29 "Arise……for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good; and are ye still? Be not slothful to go, and enter to possess the land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth." (Judges 18:9,10) ＡRISE! Then there is something definite for us to do. Nothing is ours unless we take it. "The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance." (Joshua 16:4) "The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions." (Obad. 17) The uprihgt shall have good things in possession." We need to have appropriating faith in regard to God's promises. We must make God's Word our own personal possession. A child was asked once what appropriating faith was, and the answer was, "It is taking a pencil and underscoring all the me's and mine's and my's in the Bible." Take any word please the He has spoken and say, "That word is my word." Put your finger on this promise and say, "It is mine." How much of the Word has been endorsed and receipted and said "It is done." How many promises can you subscribe and say, "Fulfilled to me." "Son, thou art ever with Me, and all that I have is thine." Don't let your inheritance go by default. "When faith goes to market it always takes a basket."

十二月廿九日 過於婦仁之愛 「我兄弟約拿單哪！我為你悲傷！我甚喜悅你！你向我發的愛情奇妙非常，過於婦女的愛情。」撒母耳記下一章26節 神造男人並向他顯示愛的能力，是努力為他人造福，並不惜犧牲生命；造女人，向她顯示仁慈、長久忍耐是為了他人而捨己。一個小孩在一歲時十分依賴母親，不只是嬰孩學習愛母親，而且母親也學習如何有無私的愛。她最大的目標乃是「只要以裏面存著長久溫柔安靜的心為裝飾，這在神前是極寶貴的。」（彼前三4） 仁慈是當今社會婦女最重要的事，相於當食物對男人的重要性；在很多情況下，這是唯一的正義。不可忘記女人最美的飾物是溫柔安靜的心，在神和人都看為極寶貴，也能使全家蒙福。妻子、母親不住代禱和得勝的愛，是人類快樂之源。 親愛的姊妹！這是妳最大的財產，神所賜最貴重的飾物——反射神所有仁慈和同情的愛。「母親怎樣安慰孩子，我也怎樣安慰你。」但願每位讀者深思神奇妙的愛，恆切為領受聖靈而禱告，以支取屬天的能力和影響，使她能因愛丈夫，甚至鄰舍而見證神的愛。 想想馬利亞，由於和其他婦女付出很多的愛，使得主在復活的早晨親自向她顯現。由於她們正確地付出愛心，就可首先看到主，並向門徒報佳音。但願神賜福所有的母親、妻子和婦女！但願由她們可看出愛是何等的美而奇妙！猶如大衛的話，是歷久彌新的：「像婦女的愛一樣奇妙」地愛神的兒女。

十二月廿九日 常在基督裡面 「你們要常在我裡面，我亦常在你們裡面……」約翰福音十五章4節 一個罪人竟可以和基督聯合，得與神的性情有分，乃是因著悔改認罪的心，信靠基督無比的救恩。基督亦樂於將祂尊貴聖潔永遠的生命賜給罪人。約翰福音三章15節說：「叫一切信祂的都得永生。」現在我們這般人，已經在基督裡了，與基督的生命有分。故我們應該在言行上與蒙召的恩相稱，要顯明聖靈所結出寶貴的果子，就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制。好像枝子被接葡萄樹上，就與樹身合為一體，吸取樹身豐富生命的活力，發芽開花結實，結出來的果子，纍纍下墮。 弟兄們！我們若是天天活在主面前，就是與基督聯合了。

十二月廿九日 「因為神的旨意，我並沒有一樣避諱不傳給你們的」使徒行傳廿章27節 或許神讓我們能把祂的旨意傳給任何一個我們所遇到的人，乃是盼望我們有機會帶給那些人一些祝福，並且影響他們，使他們能更靠近神。事實上，如果我們能對生命中所碰到的每一個人說：「……無論何人死亡，我於眾人的血是潔淨的。」（徒廿26）那真就再好不過了。 但是我們真能如此說嗎？是否能對火車上坐在我們旁邊的人這麼說？或是為與我們工作的雇工如此說？最重要的是能否對我們的家人如此說？是否我們已盡了一切力量引領他們歸主呢？ 早期的基督徒視每一個情況為作見證的機會，即使被帶到國王、首長的面前，他們也從未想要自己嘗試得到釋放，滿心所想的反倒只是主所留給他們的信息：「但這些事終必為你們的見證。」（路廿一13）他們視這種被捕的情況為向統治者傳福音的機會，因為他們深知若非如此，他們不可能接觸到這些人。
