1:1 先知哈巴谷所得的默示。 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet received.
1:2 他說:耶和華啊!我呼求你,你不應允,要到幾時呢?我因強暴哀求你,你還不拯救。 How long, O LORD, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, <<Violence!>> but you do not save? 1:3 你為何使我看見罪孽?你為何看著奸惡而不理呢?毀滅和強暴在我面前,又起了爭端和相鬥的事。 Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. 1:4 因此律法放鬆,公理也不顯明;惡人圍困義人,所以公理顯然顛倒。 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. 1:5 耶和華說:你們要向列國中觀看,大大驚奇;因為在你們的時候,我行一件事,雖有人告訴你們,你們總是不信。 <<Look at the nations and watch-- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. 1:6 我必興起迦勒底人,就是那殘忍暴躁之民,通行遍地,佔據那不屬自己的住處。 I am raising up the Babylonians, 1:6 Or ((Chaldeans)) that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwelling places not their own. 1:7 他威武可畏,判斷和勢力都任意發出。 They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor. 1:8 他的馬比豹更快,比晚上的豺狼更猛。馬兵踴躍爭先,都從遠方而來;他們飛跑如鷹抓食, Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their cavalry gallops headlong; their horsemen come from afar. They fly like a vulture swooping to devour; 1:9 都為行強暴而來,定住臉面向前,將擄掠的人聚集,多如塵沙。 they all come bent on violence. Their hordes 1:9 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners like sand. 1:10 他們譏誚君王,笑話首領,嗤笑一切保障,築壘攻取。 They deride kings and scoff at rulers. They laugh at all fortified cities; they build earthen ramps and capture them. 1:11 他以自己的勢力為神,像風猛然掃過,顯為有罪。 Then they sweep past like the wind and go on-- guilty men, whose own strength is their god.>> 1:12 耶和華─我的 神,我的聖者啊,你不是從亙古而有嗎?我們必不致死。耶和華啊,你派定他為要刑罰人;磐石啊,你設立他為要懲治人。 O LORD, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, we will not die. O LORD, you have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, you have ordained them to punish. 1:13 你眼目清潔,不看邪僻,不看奸惡;行詭詐的,你為何看著不理呢?惡人吞滅比自己公義的,你為何靜默不語呢? Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? 1:14 你為何使人如海中的魚,又如沒有管轄的爬物呢? You have made men like fish in the sea, like sea creatures that have no ruler. 1:15 他用鉤鉤住,用網捕獲,用拉網聚集他們;因此,他歡喜快樂, The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his dragnet; and so he rejoices and is glad. 1:16 就向網獻祭,向網燒香,因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物。 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, for by his net he lives in luxury and enjoys the choicest food. 1:17 他豈可屢次倒空網羅,將列國的人時常殺戮,毫不顧惜呢? Is he to keep on emptying his net, destroying nations without mercy? \b This is Alex Markley's PHPScripture v1.2.0, displaying a copy of Chinese Union Version Bible in XOOPS. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始, 聖經文字部分由CCIM(網路基督使團)網站下載. 如欲修改經文請洽聖經公會. 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(01月02日)
一月二日 「這圍殿的旁屋,越高越寬。因旁屋圍殿懸疊而上;所以越上越寬,從下一層,由中一層,到上一層。」以西結書四一章7節 願你前程永遠向高向上, 今天我就為此禱告而瞻望; 隨著歲月推移,季節更新, 願你前程永遠向高向上。 願你天天繼續向高向上, 你的前途等你去開創, 願你繼續向高向上, 一直到救主的身旁。 雖然苦難折磨你, 悲愴臨到你, 你仍要向高向上, 魔鬼設計誘你離開基督, 但你仍要向高向上。 能在平地上馳驅,不該就算知足,我們還該力求登峰造極。在山頂上,露珠何等光明、美麗,空氣多麼清潔、新鮮,居民何其幽逸、清高,他們一推窗就可望見新耶路撒冷! 多少信徒甘心樂意地過著礦工一般的生活——終日不見天日。他們的臉上原該膏著天上的喜樂油,可是卻抹著淚珠。他們原該在宮殿頂上散步,欣賞利巴嫩的美景,可是卻滿足於牢獄中的枯萎。醒來罷,信徒們,離開你的平地,努力向上罷! 丟去你的倦懶、冷,以及一切攔阻你向上追求基督的。讓基督作你的源頭、你的中心,要讓祂在萬有上居首位。不要滿意你目前所有的。渴望一個更高、更貴、更豐、更富的生命。向著天!追求更近神! ─司布真 我願攀登絕頂, 沾得一縷神的榮光; 到達之前, 我仍要不斷祈求, 主啊! 引我升向更上方。 我們中間沒有多少人真是盡我們所能的活著。我們留戀在平地上,因為我們怕攀山越嶺。山程的崎嶇、峭峻,寒了我們的心,因此我們終身耽擱在霧谷中,從不會瞭解山頂上的佳境,啊,寬容自己的損失是何其大的啊!只要我們肯決心登高尋求神,前面有極大的榮耀和祝福等著我們。 ─密勒

January 2 "And there was on enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst."(Ezek. 41.7.) "Still upward be thine onward course: For this I pray today; Still upward as the years go by, And seasons pass away. "Still upward in this comping year. Thy path is all untried: Still upward may'st thou journey on, Close by thy Savior's side. "Still upward e'en though sorrow come, And trials crush thine heart; Still upward may they draw thy soul, With Christ to walk apart. We ought not to rest content in the mists of the valley when the summit of Tabor awaits us. How pure are the dews of the hills, how fresh is the mountain air, how rich the fare of the dwellers aloft, whose windows look into the New Jerusalem! Many saints are content to live like men in coal mines, who see not the sun. Tears may their faces when they might anoint them with celestial oil. Satisfied I am that many a believer pines in a dungeon when he might walk on the palace roof, and view the goodly land and Lebanon. Rouse thee, O believer, from thy low condition! Cast away thy sloth, the lethargy, thy coldness, or whatever interferes with thy chaste and pure love to Christ. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of all thy soul's range of delight. Rest no longer satisfied with thy dwarfish attainments. Aspire to a higher, a nobler, a fuller life. Upward to heaven! Nearer to God! ─Spurgeon. "I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I'll pray, till heaven I've found, Lord, lead me on to higher ground!" Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self-indulgence, what glory awaits us if only we had courage for the mountain climb, what blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God. ─J. R. M. "Too low they build who build beneath the stars."

一月二日 與神交通 「我愛你們,正如父愛我一樣,你們要常在我的愛裡。」約翰福音十五章9節 神格中的三個身位,乃是父,子,靈。我們每一個人,都是具有位格的個人,與其他人雖有相當的關係,卻都有分別。照樣,神也要向我們啟示祂自己是一位有位格的神。我們所蒙的神聖呼召,就是來和神有交通。 神非常渴望與人有交通。但是罪卻來到人和神的中間成了隔牆。連那些自以為認識神的基督徒,在他們個人與神之間這種愛的關係上,也常常忽略了,甚至認為是無關緊要。 許多人相信,當他們悔改歸主的時候,他們的罪就得了赦免。他們相信神悅納了他們,他們就能到天堂。他們也相信,他們應當盡力遵行神的旨意。但他們卻很少想到,就是地上作父親的,和他的孩子,也有天倫的快樂,所以他們也更應該天天和神有這種蒙福的交通。 神賜下祂的兒子耶穌基督,為要將我們帶到祂面前。但只有當我們密切的活在與耶穌基督交通的時候,纔能成為可能。我們與基督的關係,乃是繫在祂對於我們的愛上。對於這個深厚柔細的大愛,我們自己沒法報答。但是聖靈要在我們裡面作這個工。為此我們必須每天把自己從世界分別出來,憑著信心歸向主耶穌,這樣祂纔能將祂的愛厚厚地澆灌在我們心裡,使我們向著祂也能充滿了愛。 親愛的信徒,要安靜默念這件事。主耶穌說:「愛我的必蒙我父愛他,我也要愛他。」(約十四21)我們把握時間來與主交通。把你的愛告訴祂,對祂說:「主阿!您已經深深的愛上了我,我也何等渴慕愛您勝過一切。」

一月二日 你糊里糊塗地出去嗎? 「亞伯拉罕……出去的時候,還不知往那裡去。」希伯來書十一章8節 你曾像這樣糊里糊塗地出去嗎?如果這樣,人們問你,你便無以回答了。「你將做甚麼?」在基督教事工上,這是一個不易回答的問題。你不知你將要做甚麼,不要緊;但有一件事是應當知道的──神知道祂正在做甚麼。不斷地矯正你對神的態度、靜觀事情的變化、完全信賴你的神吧!只有這種態度叫你永遠驚奇,就是你不知道神將要做甚麼。每天清晨醒來,照著神的信心「出去」。「不要為你的生命憂慮……也不要為你的肉體打算。」……在你未委託神之前所憂慮的事,可以不憂慮了。你曾經問過祂將做甚麼嗎?祂絕不告知你。神不告知你祂將做甚麼;祂只啟示你祂是誰。你相信神妙莫測的神並歸服祂嗎?一直到你對祂所做的任何事情一點也不再驚奇了? 若你所認識的神,是你與神最接近之時所認識的神,那麼憂慮便是一個極大的錯誤了。讓生命的態度,因信賴神的心,不斷地向前推進。你的生命定有一種不可思議的吸力──使我們的主耶穌基督得到滿足的吸力。你應當超過定見、超過信經、超過經驗,甚至於超過信仰,直到你與神之間沒有一絲兒間隔。

一月二日 「我必使你們順從我的律例」以西結書卅六章27節 屬靈生命的最高境界,乃是自然,如以西結河中湧流的河水完全不費力的情況。一個有經驗泳者在這河中會停止掙扎,因為他會隨著無法抗拒的激流而去。 當神帶領我們,使我們的靈命及習性成為如自然的脈動般時,那時我們就可以享受在祂神聖的豐盛生命裡。 這些屬靈的習性絕不是瞬間的產物,而是慢慢地培養和被建立出來的。開始時,這些習性的養成與任何一種習慣的形成一樣,乃是一種堅決的意志行為。藉著不斷重覆,這些習性才能定型。第一個階段,我們不僅要下功夫、做正確的選擇,還必須堅定立場、堅持到底。如果我們努力不懈,這些行為才會成為我們的第二天性,而且化成推動我們按習慣做事的力量。 聖靈願意在我們基督徒生命中的每一環,都能培養出一些這樣的習性。假使我們一開始就以信心順服祂,那麼我們不僅會很快地擁有順服的心,甚至會視順服為愉快的事。
