1:1 烏斯地有一個人名叫約伯;那人完全正直,敬畏 神,遠離惡事。 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
1:2 他生了七個兒子,三個女兒。 He had seven sons and three daughters, 1:3 他的家產有七千羊,三千駱駝,五百對牛,五百母驢,並有許多僕婢。這人在東方人中就為至大。 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East. 1:4 他的兒子按著日子各在自己家裏設擺筵宴,就打發人去,請了他們的三個姊妹來,與他們一同吃喝。 His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 1:5 筵宴的日子過了,約伯打發人去叫他們自潔。他清早起來,按著他們眾人的數目獻燔祭;因為他說:「恐怕我兒子犯了罪,心中棄掉 神。」約伯常常這樣行。 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, <<Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.>> This was Job's regular custom. 1:6 有一天, 神的眾子來侍立在耶和華面前,撒但也來在其中。 One day the angels 1:6 Hebrew ((the sons of God)) came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan 1:6 ((Satan)) means ((accuser.)) also came with them. 1:7 耶和華問撒但說:「你從哪裏來?」撒但回答說:「我從地上走來走去,往返而來。」 The LORD said to Satan, <<Where have you come from?>> Satan answered the LORD, <<From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it.>> 1:8 耶和華問撒但說:「你曾用心察看我的僕人約伯沒有?地上再沒有人像他完全正直,敬畏 神,遠離惡事。」 Then the LORD said to Satan, <<Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.>> 1:9 撒但回答耶和華說:「約伯敬畏 神,豈是無故呢? <<Does Job fear God for nothing?>> Satan replied. 1:10 他的妻子對他說:「你仍然持守你的純正嗎?你棄掉 神,死了吧!」 <<Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 1:11 你豈不是四面圈上籬笆圍護他和他的家,並他一切所有的嗎?他手所做的都蒙你賜福;他的家產也在地上增多。 But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.>> 1:12 你且伸手毀他一切所有的;他必當面棄掉你。」 The LORD said to Satan, <<Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.>> Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. 1:13 耶和華對撒但說:「凡他所有的都在你手中;只是不可伸手加害於他。」於是撒但從耶和華面前退去。 One day when Job's sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 1:14 有一天,約伯的兒女正在他們長兄的家裏吃飯喝酒, a messenger came to Job and said, <<The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 1:15 有報信的來見約伯,說:「牛正耕地,驢在旁邊吃草, and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:16 示巴人忽然闖來,把牲畜擄去,並用刀殺了僕人;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, <<The fire of God fell from the sky and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:17 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「 神從天上降下火來,將群羊和僕人都燒滅了;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, <<The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:18 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「迦勒底人分作三隊忽然闖來,把駱駝擄去,並用刀殺了僕人;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, <<Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 1:19 他還說話的時候,又有人來說:「你的兒女正在他們長兄的家裏吃飯喝酒, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!>> 1:20 不料,有狂風從曠野颳來,擊打房屋的四角,房屋倒塌在少年人身上,他們就都死了;惟有我一人逃脫,來報信給你。」 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 1:21 約伯便起來,撕裂外袍,剃了頭,伏在地上下拜, and said: <<Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. 1:21 Or ((will return there)) The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.>> 1:22 說:「我赤身出於母胎,也必赤身歸回;賞賜的是耶和華,收取的也是耶和華。耶和華的名是應當稱頌的。」 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

四月九日 「這些事都歸到我身上了。」創世記四二章36節 「萬事都互相效力,叫愛神的人得益處。」羅馬書八章28節 許多信徒都在求能力。能力是怎樣產生的呢?上次我們參觀電機廠,聽見無數的機輪發出軋軋的機聲來,我們就問裏邊的人說:「電力究竟是如何產生的?他說:「輪與輪轉動,就生磨擦,磨擦就生電力。」 同樣的道理,當神要給你更多的能力時,祂就給你更多的難處給你起磨擦。可惜許多人不喜歡磨擦,反要逃避磨擦,因此失去了得能力的機會。 凡事都有正有反,正與反乃是平衡力量的要素。向心力和離心力互相對峙的緣故,遂能使行星在軌道上行動。一個推進,一個拉回,纔會不使他越出軌道。而能繞著太陽安全運行。 神也這樣管理我們的生命只有前進的力是不彀的,我們還需要一個拉回的力,所以神給我們一些試驗,一些反對我們的重壓;其實這些東西都是幫助我們前進的。 讓我們感謝祂;讓我們歡迎祂給我們的重壓,像歡迎祂給我們的翅膀一樣;讓我們用信心和忍耐來前進。甚麼地方有磨擦,甚麼地方就有能力。 ─宣信 一所工廠裏有機器有齒輪, 有曲桿與滑車, 還有皮帶或緊或鬆, 有的旋轉如飛, 有的慢慢滾動, 有的往後拉, 有的向前進, 有的光滑無聲, 有的粗糙喧嘩, 碰,撞,彈跳,鏗鏘作聲。 有一個似若紛亂的混沌中, 忽昇忽降忽推忽拉都是作工, 從最大的槓到最小的齒輪, 都是為預定目標配合行動; 在動作的背後, 有意志在控制, 有權力在指揮, 有一隻手在操縱。 一切東西都在為主所愛的人作工, 若把它們單獨分開, 有的可能為害; 有的似若阻礙; 有的可能把我拖倒; 但它們互相效力, 為了使我們得益。 一切受挫的願望, 一切嚴厲的拒斥, 一切難以瞭解的矛盾齟齬。 它們的前進後退, 開始和停止, 都有我們天父的力量在控制。

April 9 "All these things are against me."(Gen. 42:36.) "All things work together for good to them that love God."(Rom. 8:28.) MANY people are wanting power. now how is power produced? The other day we passed the great works where the trolley engines are supplied with electricity. We heard the hum and roar of the countless wheels, and we asked our friend, "How do they make the power?" "Why," he said, "just by the revolution of those wheels and the friction they produce. The rubbing creates the electric current." And so, when God wants to bring more power into your life, He brings more pressure. He is generating spiritual force by hard rubbing. Some do not like it and try to run away from the pressure, instead of getting the power and using it to rise above the painful causes. Opposition is essential to a true equilibrium of forces. The centripetal and centrifugal forces acting in opposition to each other keep our planet in her orbit. The one propelling, and the other repelling, so act and re-act, that instead of sweeping off into space in a pathway of desolation, she pursues her even orbit around her solar centre. So God guides our lives. It is not enough to have an impelling force─we need just as much a repelling force, and so He holds us back by the testing ordeals of life, by the pressure of temptation and trial, by the things that seem against us, but really are furthering our way and establishing our goings. Let us thank Him for both, let us take the weights as well as the wings, and thus divinely impelled, let us press on with faith and patience in our high and heavenly calling. ─A. B. Simpson. In a factory building there are wheels and gearings, There are cranks and pulleys, beltings tight or slack─ Some are whirling swiftly, some are turning slowly, Some are thrusting forward, some are pulling back; Some are smooth and silent, some are rough and noisy, Pounding, rattling, clanking, moving with a jerk; In a wild confusion in a seeming chaos, Lifting, pushing, driving─but they do their work. From the mightiest lever to the tiniest pinion, All things move together for the ourpose planned; And behind the working is a mind controlling, And a force directing, and a guiding hand. So all things are working for the Lord's beloved; Some things might be hurtful if alone they Stood; Some might seem to hinder; some might draw us backward; But they work together, and they work for good, All the thwarted longings, all the stern denials, All the contradictions, hard to understand. Aand the force that holds them, speeds them and retards them, Stops and starts and guides them─is our Father's hand. ─Annie Johnson Flint.

四月九日 希伯來書中的新約 「我要寬恕他們的不義,不再紀念他們的罪愆。」希伯來書八章12節 在希伯來書中,基督被稱為更美之約的中保,是憑更美之應許立的。(來八6)在祂身上,約的兩部分都完全成就了。首先,祂來贖罪,使人身上罪的能力被摧毀,人就可自由地來到神面前得到恩惠。因此,就有了更豐滿的祝福:就是得到一個新的心,脫離了罪的能力,又因著聖靈「吹氣」在這心中,就有了對神律法的愛慕,並且有能力來順服它。 約的這兩面是絕不可分開的。然而,何等可惜,有許多人相信基督,只是為了罪得赦免,從未想到要來支取這些應許的豐滿——蒙洗淨脫離了罪的新心,又有聖靈將對神律法的愛慕和喜悅,以及順服的能力,放在這心中,使他們能得到新約完滿的祝福,而得以作神的子民,並且認識祂為他們的神。 耶穌基督是「新約的中保;」因祂寶血的能力使人罪得赦免,並且因著祂的靈的大能,律法就寫在我們心裏。哦!但願我們能確實的明白這件事,像我們確信罪得完全的赦免一樣。這樣我們就能期望下面應許的完全實現:「我要使他們有敬畏我的心,不離開我。」「我要使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」 不過要記得神曾經對亞伯拉罕說:「我是全能的神……耶和華豈有難成的事麼?」關於新約方面,祂對耶利米也說了這樣的話。要過一種完全降服神的生活,就需要一個剛強而全心的願望。這就是說,我們要把所有先入為主的觀念放在一邊,並在信心中相信神偉大的全能。也就是我們要降服於那位作新約中保的耶穌基督,並甘心情願接受我們和祂相同的地位——向世界、罪和己都與祂同釘,也就是說,心理上要準備好。不惜任何代價來跟隨主。簡言之,這要求我們簡單並全心的接受基督為主,並我們服事的主人,因為我們的心和生命完全是祂的。神既然說了,就必定要成就。 「我耶和華如此說,也要如此成就。」

四月九日 我曾見過祂麼? 「這事以後,……耶穌變了形像,向他們顯現。」馬可福音十六章12節 得救和見耶穌;不是相同的事。有許多人分沾神的恩典,卻從未見過耶穌。當你一旦見過耶穌,你就不能和從前一樣,也有許多事不像從前那樣令你注意。 你見的耶穌是甚麼樣,和祂替你所作的是甚麼,二者之間,你總得分別出來。如果你只知道祂替你所作的,你就沒有見到神的偉大;但你如果曾經見過耶穌,雖經驗來來去去,你會忍受不變,「因為見了那不能見的祂。」那生來瞎眼的人,才知道耶穌是誰,直到祂顯現,將自己啟示給他。耶穌向祂行過一些事情的人們顯現;但是我們不能確定祂甚麼時候顯現。也許祂忽然來到──「我現在看見祂!」 耶穌必然向你的朋友顯現如同向你顯現一樣;沒有人能用你的眼睛去見耶穌。一個見著耶穌,和一個沒有見著耶穌的人,其間必有差別。除了神領他以外,你是不能領你的朋友來的。你曾見過耶穌麼?那麼你當要別人也來見祂。「他們就去告訴其餘的門徒,其餘的門徒也是不信。」雖然他們不信,然而你必得宣傳。 啊!我如果能述說,你必然相信!巴不得我能述說我之所見!我應如何述說呢?你應如何接受呢?等祂領你來到我曾到的境地吧!

四月九日 「……我常做祂所喜悅的事」約翰福音八章29節 與神保持一個簡潔的記錄是件好事。幾年前當我讀到羅馬書十四章12節:「這樣看來,我們各人必要將自己的事在神面前說明」這經節時,心中覺得異常驚訝。因為這節經文不僅表示我們每天在神面前都有記錄,更告訴我們,當我們就寢之前,神已經對我們的行為定了審判。 假使我們常做祂喜悅的事,那麼我們就得著生活之道以及平安的秘訣。而當生命即將結束之前,或是主再來的時候,我們不僅會覺得欣慰,更能肯定一切的記錄已經經過審判。對於做祂喜悅之事的人而言,到那時他們只等待主親切的說:「……好,你這又良善又忠心的僕人……可以進來享受你主人的快樂。」(太廿五21) 一步步地與我主耶穌同行, 不慌不忙、不屈不撓。 雖然我沒有超人的能力, 但我可以腳踏實地的前進。 主耶穌,願您使我更加靠近您。 一步步、一天天地跟隨, 踩著您步步的足跡, 與您直奔天路。
