1:1 起初，神創造天地。 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
1:2 地是空虛混沌，淵面黑暗；神的靈運行在水面上。 Now the earth was 1:2 Or possibly ((became)) formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 1:3 神說：要有光，就有了光。 And God said, <<Let there be light,>> and there was light. 1:4 神看光是好的，就把光暗分開了。 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 1:5 神稱光為晝，稱暗為夜。有晚上，有早晨，這是頭一日。 God called the light <<day,>> and the darkness he called <<night.>> And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. 1:6 神說：諸水之間要有空氣，將水分為上下。 And God said, <<Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.>> 1:7 神就造出空氣，將空氣以下的水、空氣以上的水分開了。事就這樣成了。 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 1:8 神稱空氣為天。有晚上，有早晨，是第二日。 God called the expanse <<sky.>> And there was evening, and there was morning--the second day. 1:9 神說：天下的水要聚在一處，使旱地露出來。事就這樣成了。 And God said, <<Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.>> And it was so. 1:10 神稱旱地為地，稱水的聚處為海。神看著是好的。 God called the dry ground <<land,>> and the gathered waters he called <<seas.>> And God saw that it was good. 1:11 神說：地要發生青草和結種子的菜蔬，並結果子的樹木，各從其類，果子都包著核。事就這樣成了。 Then God said, <<Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.>> And it was so. 1:12 於是地發生了青草和結種子的菜蔬，各從其類；並結果子的樹木，各從其類；果子都包著核。神看著是好的。 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 1:13 有晚上，有早晨，是第三日。 And there was evening, and there was morning--the third day. 1:14 神說：天上要有光體，可以分晝夜，作記號，定節令、日子、年歲， And God said, <<Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 1:15 並要發光在天空，普照在地上。事就這樣成了。 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.>> And it was so. 1:16 於是神造了兩個大光，大的管晝，小的管夜，又造眾星， God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 1:17 就把這些光擺列在天空，普照在地上， God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 1:18 管理晝夜，分別明暗。神看著是好的。 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 1:19 有晚上，有早晨，是第四日。 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fourth day. 1:20 神說：水要多多滋生有生命的物；要有雀鳥飛在地面以上，天空之中。 And God said, <<Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.>> 1:21 神就造出大魚和水中所滋生各樣有生命的動物，各從其類；又造出各樣飛鳥，各從其類。神看著是好的。 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 1:22 神就賜福給這一切，說：滋生繁多，充滿海中的水；雀鳥也要多生在地上。 God blessed them and said, <<Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.>> 1:23 有晚上，有早晨，是第五日。 And there was evening, and there was morning--the fifth day. 1:24 神說：地要生出活物來，各從其類；牲畜、昆蟲、野獸，各從其類。事就這樣成了。 And God said, <<Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.>> And it was so. 1:25 於是神造出野獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；地上一切昆蟲，各從其類。神看著是好的。 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 1:26 神說：我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人，使他們管理海裏的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜，和全地，地上所爬的一切昆蟲。 Then God said, <<Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, 1:26 Hebrew; Syriac ((all the wild animals)) and over all the creatures that move along the ground.>> 1:27 神就照著自己的形像造人，乃是照著他的形像造男造女。 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 1:28 神就賜福給他們，又對他們說：要生養眾多，遍滿地面，治理這地，也要管理海裏的魚、空中的鳥，和地上各樣動的活物。 God blessed them and said to them, <<Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.>> 1:29 神說：看那，我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬和一切樹上所結有核的果子全賜給你們作食物。 Then God said, <<I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 1:30 至於地上的走獸和空中的飛鳥，並各樣爬在地上有生命的物，我將青草賜給他們作食物。事就這樣成了。 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food.>> And it was so. 1:31 神看著一切所造的都甚好。有晚上，有早晨，是第六日。 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.

二月十三日 「山地也要歸你。」約書亞記十七章18節 山上有寬暢的地盤，平原上住滿了迦南人，他們都有鐵車阻礙你的擴張，所以你該上山去，佔據山上的地業。也許今日你受阻不能為神作工，你該求神興起能作工的。也許你的話語不能感動人，你可以感動天。也許你的工作受經濟、人才、恩賜、以及種種難處的限制，你可以在上面看不見的、永活的神那裏發展。 山上有樹林的攔阻，然而憑著信心可以砍伐。當初以色列各支派雖然明知山上有寬地和寶藏，他們還不敢自信能砍伐叢密的樹林，開路上山。但是神指示他們、提醒他們：他們有足彀的力量可以把樹木砍去。今天許多的攔阻，許多似乎不可能的事情，擺在我們面前，像山上的樹林一般，並不是來嘲笑我們的，乃是來催促我們向神懇求應許和支取力量的。 每一次難處來到，都是暗示我們神怎樣答應我們信心的禱告和工作的。讀者，你覺得平原太窄小麼？上山去罷，住在那裏，在那裏發展罷，在那裏你可以從磐石中得蜜，從地中得寶藏。 ─譯自日誠報 可曾遇到， 被認為跨不過的大江？ 可曾遇到， 被認為鑿不通的山崗？ 別人說不可能做的事， 我們都能， 克復任何不可能， 是我們的專長。 ─巴拿馬運河工人之歌

February 13 "The hill country shall be thine."(Josh.17:18, R. V.) ＴHERE is always room higher up. When the valleys are full of Canaanites, whose iron chariots withstand your progress, get up into the hills, occupy the upper spaces. If you can no longer work for God, pray for those who can. If you cannot move earth by your speech, you may move Heaven. If the development of life on the lower slopes is impossible, through limitations of service, the necessity of maintaining orthers, and such-like restrictions, let it break out toward the unseen, the eternal, the Divine. Faith can fell forests. Even if the tribes had realized what treasures lay above them, they would hardly have dared to suppose it possible to rid the hills of their dense forest-growth. But as God indicated their task, He reminded them that they had power enough. The visions of things that seem impossible are presented to us, like these forest-covered steeps, not to mock us, but to incite us to spiritual exploits which would be impossible unless God had stored within us the great strength of His own indwelling. Difficulty is sent to reveal to us what God can do in answer to the faith that prays and works. Are you straitened in the valleys? Get away to the hills, live there; get honey out of the rock, and wealth out of the terraced slopes now hidden by forest. ─Daily Devotional Commentary. Got any rivers they say are uncrossable, Got any mountains they say `can't tunnel through'? We specialize in the wholly impossible, Doing the things they say you can't do. ─Song of the Panama builders.

二月十三日 聖靈 「我們藉著祂被一個聖靈所感，得以進到父面前。」以弗所書二章18節 我們在內室中與神相交的時候，必須防備一個危險，就是在知識和情感的力量裡，去尋求認識神和基督。神將聖靈賜給我們，為要叫我們藉著祂得以在子裡親近父。讓我們儆醒，恐怕因為我們沒有等候聖靈的引導，使我們的工作歸於徒然。 基督在最後一夜，將這一個真理教導祂的門徒。講到訓慰師的來到，祂說：「到那日，你們要奉我的名求父；求就必得著，叫你們的喜樂，可以滿足。」讓我們抓著這個真理，就是神賜給我們聖靈的目的，為要教導我們如何禱告。祂能使我們與父及子的交通，成為一個蒙祝福的實際。你當堅定地相信，祂是秘密地在你裡面工作。當你進入內室的時候，要將你自己完全服在祂的引導之下。祂是引導你禱告和敬拜的導師。 在復活那一天晚上，基督對祂的門徒說：「你們受聖靈。」是為著要堅固他們，在十天的禱告中接受聖靈的豐富。這一個使我們想起在禱告親近神的時候，應當記牢三件事： （一）我們禱告的時候，一定要相信，聖靈是住在我裡面。要心裡安靜，確定地將自己降服在祂的引導之下。為這個要擺上時間。 （二）要相信聖靈「更大的工作」，就是要光照並加強我們屬靈的生命——聖靈的充滿——要相信祂一定按著我們所禱告的賜給我們。 （三）我們要相信，藉著聖靈與神所有的兒女聯合，求聖靈在祂的教會和子民身上，大大的作工。 「信我的人，就如經上所說，從他腹中要流出活水的江河來。」（約七38）你信麼？

二月十三日 敬聽之誠 「請說，僕人敬聽。」撒母耳記上三章10節 我是專聽神的某一件事，不是，聽祂說一切的事。我向神表示不愛，和不恭敬的方法，是我的心靈對於祂所說的毫無感覺。如果我愛我的朋友，我便能直覺地窺知他所需要的。而耶穌說：「你們是我的朋友。」我這個禮拜曾違背我主的某條命令麼？如果我察覺是耶穌的命令，我必不故意違背它；但是我們多數人表示輕慢神，甚至連祂所說的，我們都不聽，這便等於祂沒有說一樣。 我靈性生命的鵠的，是與耶穌基督的相同；我時時聽神，我才知道神時時聽我（約十一42）。 如果我與耶穌基督聯合，專心聽祂，才能以專心敬聽之誠而聽神。一朵百合花，或一棵樹，或一個神僕人，也許將神的使命帶給我。我有許多別的事要辦，這就阻攔我聽不見了。並不是我不肯聽神，卻是我沒有敬聽之誠。我專心事物，我專心服務，我專心信念；所以神向我說話，我便聽不見了。小孩的態度總是這樣：「主啊，請說，僕人敬聽。」如果我沒有培養這種聽聞之誠，我只能在某時間聽見神的聲音；在其他的時間，我又為別的事所佔──為我所說的話，我要辦的事佔住了──使我變成聾子聽不見神，這不像小孩子的生活。我今天曾留心聽過神的聲音麼？

二月十三日 「……你的禱告……達到神面前，已蒙記念了。」使徒行傳十章4節 天使對哥尼流所說的是何等美的話語：你的禱告已蒙記念了。這彷彿就像多年來累積在主寶座前的祈求，終於有了答覆。神滿滿地祝福哥尼流，宛如久旱之後的乾地，突然之間得到甘霖。 我們的禱告如同馨香之氣，神把所有的祈求都收集起來。並且把馨香之氣像芬芳的花朵一樣保留在祂的室內，作為不斷的記念。當時候合宜時，神就會回答這些祈求。那時，地面上或許有異象、大光，而且我們會看到神實現祂國度的奇蹟。 我們被稱為「神所記念的人」，並被任命不分晝夜晨昏地向神祈禱。只要時候到了，神就會答覆，並給我們累積已久的祝福。 沒有任何一句禱詞會被神遺忘，我們等得越久，所累積的祝福就越大。
