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(02月13日)
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。
