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17日）
一月十七日 「永活神的僕人但以理阿，你所常事奉的神，能救你……」但以理書六章20節（直譯） 雖然這節聖經我們曾讀了多次，可是我們常把它忽略過去。我們知道經上記著神是活的神；然而在我們日常的生活中，我們最會忘記的，乃是神是活的神；因為祂是活的神，祂在三、四千年以前怎樣，現在還是怎樣；祂以前是全能的，現在還是；以前有慈愛憐憫，如今對於那些愛祂、事奉祂的人仍有；祂是不改變的。所以我們該完全信靠祂，在我們最黑暗的時候，仍不失去這個事實——祂仍是、永是活的神！如果你與神同行，仰望祂給你隨時的幫助，永活的神保險不會誤你的事。一個主內年長的弟兄，認識活的神已經四十四年了，他作見證告訴我說：神從來沒有耽誤過我。在極大的艱難、極重的試煉、極深的窮困和需要中，神從來沒有誤過我的事；因為我靠著祂的恩典能信祂，祂總隨時給我幫助。我樂意述說祂的名。 ─慕勒 馬丁路得有一次覺得他前途中危機四伏，因此他心中充滿了憂愁和恐懼；這時他自己知道必須抓住上面來的力量，纔能過去；他獨自枯坐著，用他的手指在桌面上畫這幾個字：「祂是永活的！」衪是永活的！他喜樂了，他恢復了。「祂是永活的」，也是我們的力量和盼望。今天世上的偉人、領袖、科學家、哲學家等等，只能發光一時，不久就完了。人都會過去；祂是永存的。人是點著的燈，所遲早會熄的；惟有祂是真光，眾光之源，永遠常存的。 ─馬克拉倫 崔倫保說：「有一天，我去見靈命頂深的亞當博士他告訴我他以為靈命中最寶貴的一份，就是靈中不斷的感覺主的確實同在。沒有一樣東西比感覺主的確實同在更能堅固他；這是實在的，並不是一種情感、幻想，或者心理作用。」 「而且基督是他思想的家。無論甚麼時候，他的思想在別的事情上釋放了，就回到基督那裡去；他在一個人的時候，會出聲與基督談話——不管在街上或在別處——頂自然地如同和一個朋友談話一般。主的同在對他頂實在的。」

January 17 "O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee." (Dan. 6:20.) ＨOW many times we find this expression in the Scriptures, and yet it is just this very thing that we are so prone to lose sight of. We know it is written "the living God"; but in our daily life there is scarcely anything we practically so much lose sight of as the fact that God is the living God; that He is now whatever He was three or four thousand years since; that He has the same sovereign power, the same saving love towards those who love and serve Him as ever He had and that He will do for them now what He did for others two, three, four thousand years ago, simply because He is the living God, the unchanging One. Oh, how therefore we should confide in Him, and in our darkest moments never lose sight of the fact that He is still and ever will be the living God! Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. An older brother who has known the Lord for forty-four years, who writes this, says to you for your encouragement that He has never failed him. In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name. ─George Mueller. Luther was once found at a moment of peril and fear, when he had need to grasp unseen strength, sitting in an abstracted mood tracing on the table with his finger the words, "Vivit! vivit!"("He lives! He lives!"). It is our hope for ourselves, and for His truth, and for mankind. Men come and go; leaders, teachers, thinkers speak and work for a season, and then fall silent and impotent. He abides. They die, but He lives. They are lights kindles, and, therefore, sooner or laterquenched; but He is the true light from which they draw all their brightness, and He shines for evermore. ─Alexander Maclaren. "One day I came to know Dr. John Douglas Adam," writes C. G. Trumbull. "I learned from him that what he counted his greatest spiritual asset was his unvarying consciousness of the actual presence of Jesus. Nothing bore him up so, he said, as the realization that Jesus was always with him in actual presence; and that this was so independent of his own feelings, independent of his deserts, and independent of his own notions as to how Jesus would manifest His presence. "Moreover, he said that Christ was the home of his thoughts. Whenever his mind was free from other matters it would turn to Christ; and he would talk aloud to Christ when he was alone─on the street, anywhere─as easily and naturally as to a human friend. So real to him was Jesus' actual presence.

一月十七日 愛的聖靈 「因為所賜給我們的聖靈，將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。」羅馬書五章5節 「聖靈所結的果子就是愛。」加拉太書五章22節 每當我們想到基督對於我們的愛，我們對於基督的愛，我們對於弟兄或是對於我們四周靈魂之愛的時候，我們就常會有一個思想：這個要求太大了，我們實在無法達到。要基督徒活出一個這樣愛的生活，並且把這個愛向著弟兄和有需要的靈魂彰顯出來，乃是一件不可能的事。就是因為我們把它看作不可能，也是因為我們的不信，和對神的應許缺乏信心，所以我們在這愛的聖靈裡，才沒有多少長進。 我們需要常常提醒自己，並不是靠著我們自己的力量，也不是用自己的思慮，能叫我們達到基督之愛的度量。我們必須認識這個真理，就是神的愛不僅是澆灌在我們心裡，並且還要藉著神的靈，逐日更新的再流出去。只有當我們全人降服在聖靈的引導之下，我們才能照著神的旨意而活。當我們裡面愛的生命天天被更新的時候，我們就要覺得被一個力量所催迫，而去為著靈魂工作。 你可以獻上這樣一個禱告：「我在父面前屈膝，求祂按著祂豐盛的榮耀，藉著祂的靈，叫你心裡的力量剛強起來，使基督因著你們的信，住在你們心裡，叫你們的愛心有根有基，能以和眾聖徒一同明白，基督的愛是何等長闊高深。」（弗三14—18）你可以在這個愛裡生根立基，並且認識那超越知識的愛。但是這裡有一個條件，就是你裡面的人必須被聖靈剛強起來，使基督能住在你的心裡，這樣你就要真的在這愛裡生根立基了！ 基督徒啊！請在神的話裡接受這個信息：並讓它影響你的生命，支配你的生活。除非你每天是用膝蓋等候在神面前，來讓祂的聖靈啟示在你的心裡，你就不能活在這個愛裡。只有禱告的生活，才能使愛基督、愛弟兄、愛靈魂的生活，成為你經歷中一個蒙福的實際。 請你每天在隱密處把你自己交給聖靈——就是神要賜給一切在信心裡，向祂求告之人之愛的靈。

一月十七日 自然生命的呼召 「又施恩召我的神，既然樂意將祂兒子啟示在我心裡……」加拉太書一章15—16節 神的呼召，不是一種任何特殊服務的呼召；在我或以為是這樣──因為我與神的本性結合起來，就覺得我應該為祂做甚麼。神的呼召根本是祂本性之表白；服務是我本性的結果。保羅曾這樣解釋自然生命的呼召：「既然樂意將祂兒子啟示在我心裡，叫我把祂傳（其意是鄭重地表顯祂）在外邦人中。」 服務是虔修之豐裕的流露；但是說得微妙一點，呼召原不為此，是我自己確有的一點，是我與神本性合一的回聲，是我生命中自然的一部。神使我與祂本身發生了關係，我才理會祂的呼召；才出於純然的愛，自動地替祂工作。服事神，是天性之所賦與，像這種天性才能聞見神的呼召。服務是適於我本性的表現；神的呼召是神本性的表現。惟有我接受祂的本性，聞見祂的呼召，神聖的聲音在兩方面發聲，鼓起雙方的共嗚。神的兒子將祂自己啟示在我心裡，而我因愛祂就以生命之常法去服事祂。

一月十七日 「是神在你們心裡運行」腓立比書二章13節 對基督徒來說，神並不給我們兩個旨意，祂只給一個。祂不讓我們從兩個選擇當中挑一個，祂只給一個最好、最高的旨意。能得知且成就神全然的美意是件有福的事；如果我們能按著神的計劃來定生命的計劃，以及我們基督徒的事工，那麼我們就有福了。 正如冒險能使我們浪費很多精力，當我們試著做好事時，我們也會在零碎、不確定及不協調的事情上失去許多屬靈的力量。今天在獻身給神的基督徒手中及心中，的確有屬靈的能力和財力。只要有智慧地按著神的計劃來管理，使用這些力量，我們能在這世紀中將福音傳遍地極。 基督早已為祂的教會定了一個確定的計劃，祂不僅渴望我們瞭解這計劃，並且要我們達成祂的目標。當我們得知祂的心意，順服且忠心地履行祂的旨意，我們的生命才有目的。雖然我們可以不經思考、隨意、不辨善惡地嘗試我們的主意，而且強迫神祝福「我們的」事工。但是我們若按祂的心意行，將更能討祂的喜悅。
