1:1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王的時候,亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示,論到猶大和耶路撒冷。 The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
1:2 天哪,要聽!地啊,側耳而聽!因為耶和華說:我養育兒女,將他們養大,他們竟悖逆我。 Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: <<I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. 1:3 牛認識主人,驢認識主人的槽,以色列卻不認識;我的民卻不留意。 The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.>> 1:4 嗐!犯罪的國民,擔著罪孽的百姓;行惡的種類,敗壞的兒女!他們離棄耶和華,藐視以色列的聖者,與他生疏,往後退步。 Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. 1:5 你們為甚麼屢次悖逆,還要受責打嗎?你們已經滿頭疼痛,全心發昏。 Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. 1:6 從腳掌到頭頂,沒有一處完全的,盡是傷口、青腫,與新打的傷痕,都沒有收口,沒有纏裹,也沒有用膏滋潤。 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness-- only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil. 1:7 你們的地土已經荒涼;你們的城邑被火焚毀。你們的田地在你們眼前為外邦人所侵吞,既被外邦人傾覆就成為荒涼。 Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. 1:8 僅存錫安城〔原文是女子〕,好像葡萄園的草棚,瓜田的茅屋,被圍困的城邑。 The Daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a city under siege. 1:9 若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們稍留餘種,我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。 Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah. 1:10 你們這所多瑪的官長啊,要聽耶和華的話!你們這蛾摩拉的百姓啊,要側耳聽我們 神的訓誨! Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah! 1:11 耶和華說:你們所獻的許多祭物與我何益呢?公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油,我已經夠了;公牛的血,羊羔的血,公山羊的血,我都不喜悅。 <<The multitude of your sacrifices-- what are they to me?>> says the LORD. <<I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. 1:12 你們來朝見我,誰向你們討這些,使你們踐踏我的院宇呢? When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? 1:13 你們不要再獻虛浮的供物。香品是我所憎惡的;月朔和安息日,並宣召的大會,也是我所憎惡的;作罪孽,又守嚴肅會,我也不能容忍。 Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations-- I cannot bear your evil assemblies. 1:14 你們的月朔和節期,我心裏恨惡,我都以為麻煩;我擔當,便不耐煩。 Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. 1:15 你們舉手禱告,我必遮眼不看;就是你們多多地祈禱,我也不聽。你們的手都滿了殺人的血。 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 1:16 你們要洗濯、自潔,從我眼前除掉你們的惡行,要止住作惡, wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, 1:17 學習行善,尋求公平,解救受欺壓的;給孤兒伸冤,為寡婦辨屈。 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. 1:17 Or ((/ rebuke the oppressor)) Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. 1:18 耶和華說:你們來,我們彼此辯論。你們的罪雖像硃紅,必變成雪白;雖紅如丹顏,必白如羊毛。 <<Come now, let us reason together,>> says the LORD. <<Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. 1:19 你們若甘心聽從,必吃地上的美物, If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; 1:20 若不聽從,反倒悖逆,必被刀劍吞滅。這是耶和華親口說的。 but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.>> r For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. 1:21 可歎,忠信的城變為妓女!從前充滿了公平,公義居在其中,現今卻有兇手居住。 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her-- but now murderers! 1:22 你的銀子變為渣滓;你的酒用水攙對。 Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. 1:23 你的官長居心悖逆,與盜賊作伴,各都喜愛賄賂,追求贓私。他們不為孤兒伸冤;寡婦的案件也不得呈到他們面前。 Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them. 1:24 因此,主─萬軍之耶和華、以色列的大能者說:哎!我要向我的對頭雪恨,向我的敵人報仇。 Therefore the Lord, the LORD Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: <<Ah, I will get relief from my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. 1:25 我必反手加在你身上,煉盡你的渣滓,除淨你的雜質。 I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. 1:26 我也必復還你的審判官,像起初一樣,復還你的謀士,像起先一般。然後,你必稱為公義之城,忠信之邑。 I will restore your judges as in days of old, your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.>> 1:27 錫安必因公平得蒙救贖;其中歸正的人必因公義得蒙救贖。 Zion will be redeemed with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. 1:28 但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同敗亡;離棄耶和華的必致消滅。 But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the LORD will perish. 1:29 那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧;你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。 <<You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. 1:30 因為,你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹,好像無水澆灌的園子。 You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. 1:31 有權勢的必如麻瓤;他的工作好像火星,都要一同焚毀,無人撲滅。 The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.>> 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08日)
二月八日 「我……常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。」太廿八章20節(集註本) 不要帶著懼怕的心去看前面將臨的事。要帶著盼望去看它們,因為主是我們的主,必要帶領我們一步一步過去。祂常與你同在;你只要緊緊抓住祂的手,祂會引導你安然經過一切的;當你軟弱無力,站立不住的時候,祂會將你懷抱在祂大能的膀臂中。 不要為明天憂慮。永活的神今天既然看顧你,明天、每一天,也必定會同樣看顧你。有時祂不叫你遇見試探,有時祂加你力量使你能忍受試探。所以放心,拋棄一切焦急的意念和煩惱的想像。 ─撒勒 「耶和華是我的牧者。」(詩廿三1)「是」字在原文是現在式;不是過去式「曾是」,也不是將來式「將是」,也不是未定式「或是」,「耶和華是我的牧者」,祂現在是,祂永遠是,在主日是,在星期一也是,在一星期中每一天都是;在正月是,在十二月也是,在一年中每一月都是;在家裏是,在外鄉也是;在平安時是,在危險時也是;在豐餘時是,在缺乏時也是。在任何環境中都是。 ─戴德生 祂一聲不響為你安排, 給你無微不至的關懷, 祂擔任你的嚮導, 渡過埋伏著的陷阱與圈套。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 確實可靠, 決無乖差。 依賴神的信義, 你必會因祂而奏效。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 出乎意料的仁愛無涯, 眼不曾見, 耳不曾聞, 卻在天上為你保存。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 起初你不明白祂的意念, 這謎一樣的傑作, 似乎複雜, 最後終將祂的旨意全揭開。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 好像慈父對寵兒的關懷, 似乎除了你以外, 無人為神所鍾愛。 ─格蘭姆斯

February 8 "Lo, I am with you all the appointed days."(Matt. 28:20.) (Variorum Version.) DO not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear. Rather look at them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto; do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. ─Frances de Sales. "The Lord is my shepherd." Not was, not may be, nor will be. "The Lord is my shepherd," is on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week; is in January, is in December, and every month of the year; is at home, and is in China; is in peace, and, is in war; in abundance, and in penury. ─J. Hudson Taylor. HE will silently plan for thee, Object thou of omniscient care; God Himself undertakes to be Thy Pilot through each subtle snare. He WIll silently plan for thee, So certainly, He cannot fail! Rest on the faithfulness of God, In Him thou surely shalt prevail. He will SILENTLY plan for thee Some wonderful surprise of love. Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard, But it is kept for thee above. He will silently PLAN for thee, His purposes shall all unfold; The tangled skein shall shine at last, A masterpiece of skill untold. He will silently plan FOR THEE, Happy child of a Father's care, As though no other claimed His love, But thou alone to Him wert dear. ─E. Mary Grimes.

二月八日 單獨親近神 「耶穌自己禱告。」路加福音九章18節 「(祂)就獨自又退到山上去了。」約翰福音六章15節 人需要神,神造人是為了祂自己。要人在裡面單獨地得著祂的生命和喜樂。 人需要單獨的親近神。但是人因為有肉體和世界的情慾,便墮落到暫時並可見之事物的權勢底下。他的恢復就是重新回到父的家裡,活在父的同在、父的慈愛,和父的交通裡面。救恩就是帶領人愛慕,並喜悅與神同在。 人需要單獨的與神同在。沒有這個,神就得不著機會照到人的心裡,藉著祂聖潔的工作改變人的本性,並且神的豐滿也不能充滿到人的裡面。 人需要單獨的與神同在,將他自己降服在祂的聖潔、祂的生命、祂慈愛的能力面前。基督在地上的時候,也需要這個。若是祂沒有常常離開那些圍繞祂的事物,去單獨親近神,祂就不能在肉身中活出那一個「子」的生命。而這一個對於我們更是何等的需要呢! 當我們的主給我們那祝福的命令,叫我們進入我們的內室,關上門,單獨禱告我們在暗中的父的時候,祂也給我們應許,父必要聽這樣的禱告,並且在人的面前,並在我們的生活中大大地報答我們。 單獨的親近神——這是真實禱告的秘訣,也是在禱告裡真實的能力;並且是真的、活的,與神面對面的相交和事奉的能力。若沒有每天單獨親近神,就沒有真的、深的與神談話;也沒有真的、深的聖潔;同時也不能穿上聖靈和能力,更沒有長久的平安和喜樂。除了多多長久的單獨親近神之外,就沒有進入聖潔之路。 每天早晨實習隱密處的禱告,是一個何等不可估量的權利呢!讓我們的心放在這上面尋找、尋見,並碰見神。我的心哪,要花時間來單獨親近神。以後你就要對那些以為五分鐘的禱告就夠了的人,覺得驚奇了。 「我的王,我的神阿,求您垂聽我呼求的聲音,因為我向您禱告。」(詩五2)

二月八日 及時和不斷的成聖 「願賜平安的神,親自使你們全然成聖。」帖撒羅尼迦前書五章23—24節 當我們祈求成聖的時候,是準備遵照這兩節聖經的標準麼?我們把「成聖」這名詞看得太輕了。我們準備為成聖付上任何代價嗎?成聖的代價,是要我們對於人世的興趣縮到最小,對於神的興趣擴到無限的大。成聖的意思,是聚精會神於神之一點。那便是說,把身心靈的各種精力專為神的旨意保存著。我們準備讓神在我們裡面施行祂所派遣的一切麼?神在我們裡面的工作告成以後,我們是否像耶穌那樣順服神呢?「因他們的緣故,我自己成聖。」我們之中有些人沒有得到成聖的經驗,原因是我們沒有從神的觀點來領悟成聖的意義。成聖的意義,是與耶穌合而為一,讓支配祂的品格來支配我們。我們要準備付上相當的代價,代價便是我們裡面一切不屬神的事情。 我們準備接受使徒保羅祈禱的指揮麼?我們準備說:「主啊,願您使我成聖,就如您藉著恩典使罪人所能達到的成聖一樣。」耶穌禱告說,惟願我們與祂合而為一,正如祂與父合而為一一樣。聖靈在人裡面唯一事工,是叫人與耶穌基督發生家族的相像,脫去一切與祂不像的成分。我們準備分別自己,讓聖靈在我們裡面操持一切麼?

二月八日 「並不是我們憑自己能承擔甚麼事,我們所能承擔的,乃是出於神」哥林多後書三章5節 「神能將多樣的恩惠,多多地加給你們,使你們凡事常常充足」哥林多後書九章8節 不足及充足是完全相反的兩個名詞,然而得知自己的不足、認識神的充足,卻是得勝基督徒的秘訣。 當我們發現且承認自己完全無助時,我們就可以從神那裡不斷地得到屬靈的糧食。舊約的時候,神使人看見自己的失敗;新約時,神將基督的豐富顯現給世人看。神能將各樣的恩惠加給我們,但我們必須先接受我們不足的事實。 簡言之,基督徒得以完全的重點,在於不斷地否定自我的義、繼續接受基督的義。當我們接納我們空無所有,以及敗壞的事實,才能使我們祈求祂的恩惠。然而,承認知道我們的不足,卻不抓住神多樣的恩惠,是極為可能的事。所以我們必須靠著信心,不得到完全的祝福絕不罷手。
