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19日)
二月十九日 「凡結果子的,他就修理乾淨,使枝子結果更多。」約翰福音十五章2節 有一個神的孩子,正希奇像她這樣愛主的信徒,為甚麼神還要使她落在百般的試煉中呢?有一次,她走過一個葡萄園,看見裏邊有許多的葡萄籐,枝子頂多,葉子茂盛,可是再仔細一看,葉子上都是一個個的蛀孔,籐上生了許多的蟲蟻,四周長了無數的雜草,地上堆了許多的枯葉;顯然是一個完全沒有人經管的荒園;當她站著沉思的時候,神就光照她,給她看見一段頂寶貝的信息。 「我所愛的孩子啊,你是不是在希奇你一生的遭遇呢?你看這個葡萄園,從其中學習一個功課吧!園丁不替它修剪不結果的枝子,不摘去不需要的葉子,不除去害蟲和雜草,他隨它去;所以在這成熟的時候,葡萄一顆也沒有。你要不要我停止修理你的生命呢?你要不要我把你放在一邊呢?」她的心受了安慰,大聲說道:「不!不!」 —狄克生 結果子的枝幹, 才會受到剪栽, 為了幫助它的生長, 結出更多果子來。 搖曳生姿的細枝, 含苞欲放的蓓蕾, 青蔥可愛的嫩芽, 一一都會摧殘。 歡樂的生命, 摧殘得黯淡無光, 抱負化為塵土, 磨折得遍體鱗傷。 你一切慾望, 一切希求和幻夢, 都將化為泡影, 你要歡喜,你要慶幸。 那是神執著刀, 細心在給你修剪, 使你結果子的生命, 更為豐富繁衍。 ─富林德

February 19 "And every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:2.) A CHILD of God was dazed by the variety of afflictions which seemed to make her their target. Walking past a vineyard in the rich autumnal glow she noticed the untrimmed appearance and the luxuriant wealth of leaves on the vines, that the ground was given over to a tangle of weeds and grass, and that the whole place looked utterly uncared for; and as she pondered, the Heavenly Gardener whispered so precious a message that she would fain pass it on: "My dear child, are you wondering at the sequence of trials in your life? Behold that vineyard and learn of it. The gardener ceases to prune, to trim, to harrow, or to pluck the ripe fruit only when he expects nothing more from the vine during that season. It is left to itself, because the season of gruit is past and further effort for the present would yield no profit. Comparative uselessness is the condition of freedom from suffering. Do you then wish me to cease pruning your life? Shall I leave you alone?" And the comforted heart cried, "No!" Homera Homer-Dixon. It is the branch that bears the fruit, That feels the knife, To prune it for a larger growth, A fuller life. Though every budding twig be lopped, And every grace Of swaying tendril, springing leaf, Be lost a space. O thou whose life of joy seems reft, Of beauty shorn; Whose aspirations lie in dust, All bruised and torn, Rejoice, tho' each desire, each dream, Each hope of thine Shall fall and fade; it is the hand Of Love Divine That holds the knife, that cuts and breaks With tenderest touch, That thou, whose life has borne some fruit May'st now bear much. ─Annie Johnson Flint.

二月十九日 敬畏神 「敬畏耶和華,遵行祂道的人,便為有福。」詩篇一二八篇1節 敬畏神——這句話說出舊約裡宗教生活的特點,也是新約更豐盛生命的根基。神的兒女們該愛慕這敬畏神的恩賜,對神存敬畏的心,是我們生活中主要的部分,為要給環繞我們的世界一個真實的印象。在耶利米書有一個關於新約的大應許:「我要與他們立永遠的約,……使他們有敬畏我的心,不離開我」(耶卅二40) 在使徒行傳裡,我們也看見這兩個完全的聯合(參徒九31)。各處的教會都得平安,被建立「凡事敬畏主,蒙聖靈的安慰,人數增多了。」保羅也多次的將敬畏神看為基督徒生活上重要的一點。「恐懼戰兢作成你們得救的工夫,」「因為神在你們心裡運行。」「敬畏神,得以成聖。」(林後七1) 我們常聽見人說:今天所以不能和清教徒(Puritans)及立約者(Covenanters)的時代相比,就是因為缺乏敬畏神的心。所以,現在的情形有那麼多的軟弱,不能好好地讀神的話,也沒有不住禱告的靈,不像當初的教會那樣剛強。前述各項對於年輕初信的我們,需要好好地說明,要叫他們知道,敬畏神和因敬畏神而有的祝福,便被帶到一個不住的禱告裡,使禱告成為信心生活的一個要素。 讓我們在內室中,好好地培植這恩典。讓我們聽從天上來的呼聲:「主啊,誰敢不敬畏您,不榮耀您的名呢?因為獨有您是神聖的。」讓我們靠著恩典,用尊崇敬畏來事奉神。讓「敬畏主的人是有福的」這話,印進我們的心,並且相信這就是最深蒙福的秘訣。「當存畏懼事奉耶和華,又當存戰兢而快樂。」

二月十九日 避免工作之乏味 「興起發光。」以賽亞書六十章1節 我們起先以為神不肯相助,便自己動起來。不過在我們作起來的時候,就會感覺──祂就在那裡。無論何時,神激動我們,必定要我們先有一種道德的自動。我們是應奉行無違,不要呆若木雞一樣。如果我們奮起發光,乏味的工作就會變成神聖的勞作了。 乏味的工作是品性最好的試金石。乏味的工作,與理想相去很遠──指極卑賤的事,當我們與那些事發生接觸的時候,我們就立刻知道我們是否真是屬靈的。試讀約翰十三章;我們就知道神的化身也做了最乏味的工作,洗漁夫的腳,而且說:「我是你們的主,你們的夫子,尚且洗你們的腳,你們也當彼此洗腳。」(約十三14)這是需要神的靈和神的光,才能忍受而不辭的。有人做了某件事,而那件事,因為他的做法和態度從此就成為聖的。也許是極平常的事,但是我們看見他們行了出來,就會生出不同的感覺。當我們的主藉著我們做某種事的時候,祂常是把它的形式變化了。我們的主化身成人,使肉體成為聖潔,所以眾聖徒也當看肉體為聖靈的殿。

二月十九日 「所以情願盡我的力量,將福音也傳給你們在羅馬的人。」羅馬書一章15節 要盡力,神所要的乃是全然地盡力、全心地為基督、對十字架的忠心、對我們的主及人類投入整個人。這些不僅是祂死在十字架上所應得的,也是這個世界所需要、這個世代所渴慕的。 在我們周圍的一切都是充滿生命的:生命是嚴肅的,死亡是真實的,罪是存在的,人是重要的,生意是實際的,知識是不偽的,這個世代更是鮮活的。如果我們在這個白熱的危機時刻不盡力,那麼我們真要求神赦免我們了。 所以,為了受火的施洗,為了能使世人的罪得赦免,為了所得著、放棄自我的眾僕人,我們應該抓住神的心意,向著標竿直跑,要得著在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞(腓三14)。 我的禱告是: 願全世界都屬耶穌。 我的警言是: 願耶穌全然屬我。 願全世界都屬耶穌, 主啊!請您快些 帶著您所應許的國度來, 然後接我們回天家。

隨機小語智慧是什麼?
有一隻老虎,看見曾打敗過自己的水牛,被人吆喝著耕地,便去問牛為什麼怕農夫,牛說:「因為人有智慧」。 老虎向農夫要求看看他的智慧。農夫說他把智慧放在家裡,可以去拿,但要先把老虎捆起來,免得他走了以後老虎把牛吃掉,老虎聽了覺得有道理,老虎聽從農夫的話。 農夫回村叫了村民來,把老虎裝鐵籠裡,農夫就對老虎說:「這就是智慧」。 國英台羅馬注音聖經新增台語羅馬字典教會MIDI卡拉OK新增教會MIDI卡拉OK流量最多的歌教會MIDI卡拉OK新修改會員登入 |
