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（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。
