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.

二月五日 「你們出來必不至急忙。」以賽亞書五二章12節 我不相信，我們已經瞭解在安靜中的奇妙的能力了。我們常太急躁——我們自己一定要去作——不給神一個機會彰顯祂的榮耀。因此，神常對我們說，「站住」（出十四13），「安坐」（路三18），「住了罷！靜了罷！」（可四39），祂纔可以發揮祂的全能。 在我們基督徒的生活中，我們的失敗常是因為我們要自己工作來得勝；其實，我們需要讓神在我們裏面工作。當你請一個攝影師替你照相的時候，你必須安靜不動，完全讓他作。 神對於我們有一個永久的目的，就是要我們像祂的兒子；如果要達成這個目的，我們必須處在被動的地位，關於如何主動，我們聽得太多了，也許我們更需要瞭解安靜的意義。 ─碎錦 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 別以為等候的日子對你有害， 最愛你的祂， 為你安排前程， 祂不會忘記你今日的迫切需要， 假若祂在等候， 祂的等待， 是為了證實祂對你的深愛。 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 你渴望知道主的旨意！ 由於祂的緩慢 切莫讓焦躁侵蝕心懷， 你當一心堅信等待， 祂對你的愛，至善至美。 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 一步亦不動， 直等到祂的路為你暢開， 那時你將多麼舒泰， 你的腳步將如何輕快， 你的靈魂將多麼堅強， 等候的日子並不長得不可忍耐。 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 你還能為祂作什麼更大的奉獻？ 是的， 這是很難， 但好的東西， 代價亦貴， 為了吝嗇破費， 招來多少損害。 是的， 這很難， 但祂的恩典俱在， 你的等待， 換來了福如東海。 ─史密斯

February 5 "Ye shall not go out with haste." (Isa. 52:12.) Ｉ DO not believe that we have begun to understand the marvelous power there is in stillness. we are in such a hurry─we must be doing─so that we are in danger of not giving God a chance to work. You may depend upon it, God never says to us, "Stand still," or "Sit still," or "Be still," unless He is going to do something. This is our trouble in regard to our Christian life; we want to do something to be Christians when we need to let Him work in us. Do you know how still you have to be when your likeness is being taken? Now God has one eternal purpose concerning us, and that is that we should be like His Son; and in order that this may be so, we must be passive. We hear so much about activity, may be we need to know what it is to be quiet. ─Crumbs. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Nor deem these days─these waiting days─as ill! The One who loves thee best, who plans thy way, Hath not forfgotten thy great need today! And, if He waits, 'tis sure He waits to prove To thee, His tender child, His heart's deep love. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Thou longest much to know thy dear Lord's will! While anxious thoughts would almost steal their way Corrodingly within, because of His delay─ Persuade thyself in simple faith to rest That He, who knows and loves, will do the best. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Nor move one step, not even one, until His way hath opened. Then, ah then, how sweet! How glad thy heart, and then how swift thy feet Thy inner being then, ah then, how strong! And waiting days not counted then too long. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! What higher service could'st thou for Him fill? Tis hard! ah yes! But choicest things must cost! For lack of losing all how much is lost! Tis hard, tis true! But then─He giveth grace To count the hardest spot the sweetest place. ─J. Danson Smith.

二月五日 靜默的敬拜 「我的心默默無聲，專等候神。」「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。」詩篇六十二篇1、5節 當人在他的微小裡，與神在祂的榮耀裡相逢的時候，我們都知道神所說的話其價值是遠超過人所說的。但是在我們的禱告裡，卻時常發表許多自己的思想，只是關乎我們的需要，應當好好學習安靜默然的在神面前，這才是真實敬拜的秘訣。讓我們記得這一個應許：「你們得力在乎平靜安穩（信靠）」「我的心哪，你當專心等候神，因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」「我要等候主，我的心等候，我的盼望也在乎祂的話語。」 當人的心俯伏在祂的面前，想念祂的偉大、祂的聖潔、祂的能力和祂的愛，並將祂的名所該得的榮耀、尊貴和敬拜，歸給祂的時候，人的心就敞開來接受神的親密，和祂能力的工作。 哦！基督徒啊，相信這樣的敬拜神——在你的無有裡俯伏下拜，並提起你的思想來領會神的同在，好像在基督耶穌裡，將自己賜給你，才是惟一的路，將神所當得的榮耀歸給祂，並且能帶到那禱告最高的祝福裡。 不要想這是虛擲光陰，如果在起頭的時候覺得困難，沒有果效，不要放棄它。相信它能帶你到與神正當的關係裡。它為你開一條與父神交通的道路。它也帶進一個蒙福的保證，就是神用慈愛看顧你，又用秘密而聖潔的能力工作在你裡面。當你這樣成為習慣的時候，你就要覺得祂的同在是整天不離開你。這一個能使你剛強的為主作見證。有人說：「除了神在人裡面之外，沒有一個人能影響別人叫他良善與聖潔。」人會覺得你是與神同在的。「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） 「凡有血氣的，都當在耶和華面前，靜默無聲，因為祂興起，從聖所出來了。」（亞二13）

二月五日 你準備獻上麼？ 「我以你們的信心為供獻的祭物，我若被澆奠在其上，也是喜樂，並且與你們眾人一同喜樂。」腓立比書二章17節 你願意獻上自己，替信的人工作──傾出你生命的血，作為一種奠祭，加到別人信心的祭品上麼？或說：我此刻還不要把自己獻上，我也不要神替我揀選工作，我要揀選我自己犧牲的環境，我希望有人注視著，誇我「做得好！」 抱著光榮的英勇，獨斷獨行，是一件事。如果神命定你作蹋腳的毯子，擺在門口，任人踐踏，那又是一件事。或許神要教訓你說：「我知道怎樣的自卑」──你準備像那樣獻上麼？你準備像一滴之水，在水桶中麼？──你願意無聲無臭的消滅在人類的記念中麼？你願意耗費自己，同時也願被別人耗費麼？不求受人的服事，卻求服事人麼？有的「聖者」不肯從事僕役的工作，是因為僕役的工作有損他們的尊嚴。

二月五日 「在主裡休息」詩篇卅八篇 當神創造萬物時，祂以工作開始一個星期，以休息作為結束。然而耶穌在主日復活之後，一個星期的第一天卻以休息為開始，之後才工作。 因此我們必須像神一樣先停止工作，進入祂裡面休息。然後帶著安靜的心，我們才會滿有能力地作祂的事工。 我們為什麼得努力進入祂裡面休息呢？讓我們來瞧瞧開帆船的技術：當帆船乘風前進時，它能毫不費力、平靜地在水面上滑行。但是掌舵的人必須穩穩地握住船舵，使帆能順風、使船能平衡。假使掌舵的人稍微一鬆手，帆立刻會沒精打采地倒下來。不僅所有的帆會倒下來，而且海浪會無情地使帆船翻騰不已，使一切的寧靜、能力消失淨盡。換言之，有了穩妥的舵，才會有載風而行的帆。以賽亞書廿六章3節說：「堅心倚賴您的，您必保守他十分平安，因為他倚靠您。」意志堅定、心裡平靜乃在乎我們，然而保守我們的是主。所以讓我們努力進入祂裡面休息，由祂來掌舵。
