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.

二月廿六日 「我的恩典是彀你用的。」哥林多後書十二章9節(直譯) 有一天晚上,我整天工作之後,騎馬回家。路上我極感疲乏,差不多要馬上倒下來;忽然之間,一節聖經像閃電一般地照在我的心中:「我的恩典是夠你用的」到家之後,我就在聖經的原文中查考,發現它的語氣是:「我的恩典是夠你用的」;我就對主說:「主啊,我信,我信您的恩典是夠我用的;」此時裏面的喜樂爆發出來,成為歡笑。直到那晚,我纔知道不信神夠用的恩典是何等可笑,亦復可憐。這猶如海洋中一條口渴的小魚,不敢喝水,深怕把水喝乾了;雖然海洋對牠說:「小魚兒儘量喝罷!我的水是夠你喝的。」但是牠仍然不敢。這又好比七個豐年之後,倉廩中一隻小鼠,不敢喫食,深怕以後要餓死;雖然約瑟對牠說:「小鼠兒,儘量吃罷!我的穀粒是夠你喫的。」但是牠仍然不敢。這也像一個人,在高山上,對自己說:「我每年呼吸這許多空氣,我怕我會把空氣中的氧氣吸盡罷。」雖然大氣對他說:「可憐的人啊,儘量吸罷!我的氧氣是夠你呼吸的。」但是他仍不敢。哦,弟兄們,讓我們每一個都作信心的偉人!小信心會帶你的靈到天上去,大信心會帶天到你的靈裏來。 ─司布真 祂的恩典, 偉大得足夠應付大災難, 席捲靈魂的驚波險濤, 窒息生命的暴風怒潮, 不能控制的急雨狂焰。 祂的恩典, 偉大得也夠袪除小麻煩 急躁不寧, 如坐針氈, 疑慮榮心, 如蠅附羶, 憂戚如焚, 獨夜自煎。 ─富林德 神替我們在天上的銀行中存了無數量的款子,等待我們用信心任意支取,讓我們放膽前去支取罷。

February 26 "My grace is sufficient for thee." (2 Cor. 12:9.) THE other evening I was riding home after a heavy day's work. I felt very wearied, and sore depressed, when swiftly, and suddenly as a lightning flash, that text came to me, "My grace is sufficient for thee." I reached home and looked it up in the original, and at last it came to me in this way, "MY grace is sufficient for thee"; and I said, "I should think it is, Lord," and burst out laughing. I never fully understood what the holy laughter of Abraham was until then. It seemed to make unbelief so absurd. It was as though some little fish, being very thirsty, was troubled about drinking the river dry, and Father Thames said, "Drink away, little fish, my stream is sufficient for thee." Or, it seemed after the seven years of plenty, a mouse feared it might die of famine; and Joseph might say, "Cheer up, little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for thee." Again, I imagined a man away up yonder, in a lofty mountain, saying to himself, "I breathe so many cubic feet of air every year, I fear I shall exhaust the oxygen in the atmosphere," but the earth might say, "Breathe away, O man, and fill the lungs ever, my atmosrhere is sufficient for thee." Oh, brethren, be great believers! Little faith will bring your souls to Heaven, but great faith will bring Heaven to your souls. ─C. H. Spurgeon. His grace is great enough to meet the great things─ The crashing waves that overwhelm the soul, The roaring winds that leave us stunned and breathless, The sudden storms beyond our life's control. His grace is great enough to meet the small things─ The little pin-prick troubles that annoy, The insect worries, buzzing and persistent, The squeaking wheels that grate upon our joy. ─Annie Johnson Flint. There is always a large balance to our credit in the bank of Heaven waiting for our exercise of faith in drawing it. Draw heavily upon His resources.

二月廿六日 詩篇 「您的言語在我上膛何等甘美,在我口中比蜜更甜。」詩篇一一九篇103節 本書是要幫助我們去敬拜神。在全部聖經六十六卷裡,詩篇似乎是特別為著這個目標而寫的;其他各卷,是偏於歷史、教訓或應用方面。但是詩篇能帶領我們進入至聖所,在那裡享受與神相交的福分,這是被聖靈感動寫出的一卷敬拜的書。 你若要每個早晨真的遇見神,並用心靈和誠實敬拜祂,你就需要讓你的心充滿了詩篇裡面神的話語。 你讀詩篇的時候,可將該經文中的「耶和華」「神」和一切代表神的字,如「我」「您」「祂」的旁邊劃以紅線。這樣,能幫助你將詩篇裡的意念和神連結,這位神就是禱告的對象。當你不畏難、不嫌麻煩地將關於神的不同名字都劃出來的時候,你就要看見,本來頗難領會的章節,現在都要發出亮光來了。這樣一劃,便使神成為你中心的思想,帶領你有新的敬拜。將這些話從你的嘴裡向神說出。你的信心就要重新得以堅固,並能體會神如何是你在各種環境中的幫助和力量。 這詩篇在舊約時代,如何為聖靈所用,教導神的子民去禱告;照樣,今天也藉著聖靈的能力,教導我們與神同在。 打開詩篇一一九篇碰著「耶和華」和「您」的時候,就劃出來。你就要驚奇地發現,這些字在每一節聖經裡,總要碰著一次!或者不止一次。讓我們思想:在詩篇的字句裡,所遇見的神,就是那賜給我們律法,並使我們能遵守的神。這樣,詩篇就要成為你所喜愛的,你也要發現這裡的禱告和教訓,能使你繼續向神而去,住在祂能力和慈愛的祝福裡面。 「我何等愛慕您的律法,終日不住地思想。」(詩一一九97)

二月廿六日 懷疑耶穌的理由不足 「先生沒有打水的器具。」約翰福音四章11節 「神的道雖是高深,但祂未必期望我在生活中一一行出來!」我們常以為耶穌基督和祂的教訓不比我們的見識高明──「你高超的理想,印象在我們心中,但是與現實的世界接觸,覺得不能見諸實行。」我們每個人有時是這樣想。這些對於耶穌的懷疑,起自擺在我們面前的那些奇怪的問題,就是我們討論神事工的時候所發生的問題──「你們從那裡得錢?你們的事情怎樣安排呢?」就是我們告訴耶穌,我們的情形也是祂難於解決的。「倚靠主,」固然容易,但是一個人要生活。耶穌沒有甚麼東西取水──「從何能給我們這些東西哩!」當心你這些自欺的話──「我不懷疑耶穌,只懷疑我自己。」我們之中,沒有人懷疑自己;我們十二分的知道我們所不能做的是甚麼,可是我們是懷疑耶穌了。祂能做我們所不能做的,這一句話,叫我們有點難受。 我所以懷疑是因為我以自己,去推測神。我的問題是從我劣性的深處發出來的。如果我在我裡面查出這些懷疑,就應該將它們顯露出來,也要坦白的承認──「主啊,我對於您有懷疑之處,我不相信您的智慧離得了我的智慧;我也不相信您的權能離得了我有限的理解。」

二月廿六日 「在各樣善事上,成全你們……。」希伯來書十三章21節 希伯來書結尾的禱告非常美:「但願賜平安的神,就是那憑永約之血,使群羊的大牧人──我主耶穌從死裡復活的神,在各樣善事上成全你們……。」(來十三20—21)「在各樣善事上,成全你們」的字意乃是「使你們能適應各樣善事」。 適應是一件大事,我們得適應周圍的環境及人事,而不能叫環境及人事因我們而改變。例如適應我們不得不相處的人;適應神所給我們的事工,而不是求神來幫助我們做我們的事;適應去實現神給我們一生的旨意及計劃。這其實是我們在屬靈的事上能得到安息、力量及自由的秘密。 主啊!願您以您的豐富充滿我, 直到我的心滿溢, 直到我能用如火般的情緒和生動的話語, 述說您的愛,表達對您的讚美。 主啊!求您用我,求您屢屢用我, 如您所願地,無論在何時或何處用我。 直到我看到您聖潔的臉, 與您同安息、同喜樂、同享榮耀。
