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. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改,2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能,2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可,顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用!! 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(04月26日)
四月廿六日 「我也將萬事當作有損的,因我以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶。」腓立比書三章8節 要發光必須先有損失,發光體受了相當的損失以後,纔會有光照出來。燭不燃燒,根本就沒有光。有了燃燒,然後纔能有光。我們自己若不先有損失,就不能有益於人。燃燒好似人生中的痛苦。信徒必須經過痛苦,然後纔能有益於人。可是我們見了痛苦,卻常喜歡逃避。 當我們被喚到一旁,在苦痛中磨鍊的時候,例如病倒了,或煎熬於患難之中,我們所有活動都遭停止,這種時候,我們覺得自己已不再有何貢獻了。 但是,假若我們有耐心,肯服從主,我們就可確信,我們在受苦難中,對世界的貢獻,更大於活動工作。我們此時正如蠟燭在燃燒,光明燦爛是從燃燒中發出來的。 ─譯自晚思 「明天的榮耀,是因今天的痛苦。」 許多人只要榮耀,不要十架;只要發光,不要燃燒;但是我告訴你;十架是冠冕的先鋒;沒有十架就沒有冠冕。 你可曾聽說過,熱帶有一種名曰「蘆薈」植物,無聲無臭生長了一百年,才到它開花的時候。頂端長出一個奇妙的蓓蕾,這蓓蕾裏開出一千朵美麗的奇葩。成為熱帶所誇耀花中之後。然而這植物的開花,對它卻是犧牲,因為只開一次花,開過就枯萎死亡了。 你可曾聽聞過,熱帶的植物「蘆薈」更奇妙的是,那一千朵花落到地上,立刻在土中生根,成為蘆薈的幼苗。也就是在它母株枯萎的時候,花就紛紛落地,於是下一代的蘆薈就蓬勃生長了起來。一個生命的死亡,換得了一千個新生命。 你可曾聽說過,在非洲的荒山裏,有一種鳥名曰鵜鵡,阿拉伯人稱之為「吉美‧艾‧巴爾」。 牠對於後一代的愛護,辛勞,甚至於犧牲,也是無微不至的。牠從遙遠的地方,帶著泉水給小鳥喝,還從海中捉了魚作牠子女的糧食,在找不到食物的饑荒時節,牠竟用自己胸口的血,去餵飽小鳥,自己由此而犧牲了生命。 你已聽到了蘆薈與鵜鵡之犧牲自己,以培植更多新的生命,使我們聯想到一個更偉大的故事,就是我們的救主耶穌,神聖與真理的化身,祂犧牲了,但祂的生命,永留在人間,在無數靈魂中獲得了新生,祂那生命的種子,播滿了大地,多得像星星佈滿了天空。祂教我們為了愛的生命,放棄對生命的留戀。祂的犧牲成了我們的光明,祂的損失,即是我們的收穫,也是流淚者的歡樂,痛苦者的安慰。 ─選

April 26 "I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord."(Phil. 3:8.) (Weymouth.) SHINING is always costly. Light comes only at the cost of that which produces it. An unlit candle does no shining. Burning must come before shining. We can-not be of great use to others without cost to ourselves. Burning suggests suffering. We shrink from pain. We are apt to feel that we are doing the greatest good in the world when we are strong, and able for active duty, and when the heart and hands are full of kindly service. When we are called aside and can only suffer; when we are sick; when we are consumed with pain; when all our activities have been dropped, we feel that we are no longer of use, that we are not doing anything. But, if we are patient and submissive, it is almost certain that we are a greater blessing to the world in our time of suffering and pain than we were in the days when we thought we were doing the most of our work. We are burning now, and shining because we are burning. ─Evening Thoughts. "The glory of tomorrow is rooted in the drudgery of today." Many want the glory without the cross, the shining without the burning, but crucifixion comes before coronation. Have you heard the tale of the aloe plant, Away in the sunny clime? By humble growth of a hundred years, It reaches its blooming time; And then a wondrous bud at its crown, Breaks into a thousand flowers; This floral gueen, in its blooming seen, Is the pride of the tropical bowers, But the plant to the flower is sacrifice, For it blooms but once, and it dies. Have you further heard of the aloe plant, That grows in the sunny clime; How every one of its thousand flowers, As they drop in the blooming time, Is an infant plant that fastens its roots, In the place where it falls on the ground, And as fast as they drop from the dying stem, Grow lively and lovely around? By dying, it liveth a thousand-fold, In the young that spring from the death of the old. Have you heard the tale of the pelican, The Arabs' Gimel el Bahr, That lives in the African solitudes, Where the birds that live lonely are? Have you heard how it loves its tender young, And cares and toils for their good, It brings them water from mountain far, And fishes the seas for their food. In famine it feeds them─what love can devise! The blood of its bosom─and, feeding whem, dies. Have you heard this tale─the best of them all─ The tale of the Holy and True, He dies, but His life, in untold souls, Lives on in the world anew; His seed prevails, and is filling the earth, As the stars fill the sky above. He taught us to yield up the love of life, For the sake of the life of love. His death is our life, His loss is our gain; The joy for the tear, the peace for the pain. ─Selected.

四月廿六日 內住的基督 「使基督因你們的信,住在你們心裏。」以弗所書三章17節 使以色列人能從列國中分別出來的那個特權,是由於神住在他們中間,以及祂能安家在他們的會幕,或聖殿的至聖所裏。新約乃是神內住在祂子民心裏的時代。正如基督所說:「有了我的命令又遵守的,這人就是愛我的,愛我的蒙我父愛他,我也要愛他,……並且我們要到他那裏去,與他同住。」(約十四21、23)那就是保羅所說:「這奧秘在外邦人中有何等豐盛的的榮耀,就是基督在你們裏面成了榮耀的盼望。」也就是他論到自己所說的:「基督在我裏面活著。」 福音就是內住基督的時代。但相信或經歷這件事的基督徒是何其少呢!關於經歷基督徒生命最高祝福的途徑,請來傾聽保羅的教訓。 (一)「因此,我在父面前屈膝,求祂……叫你們……」祝福是從父臨到那位屈膝的祈求者身上,他是為自己,也為他所勞苦的人禱告。這祝福是在更多的禱告中得著的。 (二)「求祂按著祂豐盛的榮耀。」——這是十分特別並神聖的祝福——「藉著祂的靈,叫你們裏面的人剛強起來。」這樣我們就能從罪惡和世界中分別出來,降服於基督,尊祂為主,以祂為我們所服事的主人,並且過著愛基督的生活,遵守祂的命令。為此祂就給了我們如下的應許:「我們要到他那裏去,與他同住。」 (三)「使基督因你們的信,住在你們心裏。」這是說,在基督的本性裏,在祂神聖的無所不在和祂神聖的愛裏,祂渴望要住在我們的心裏。當信心看見這個,並屈膝向神懇求這個偉大的祝福時,就從祂得著恩典,來相信這個禱告已蒙垂聽。就在這樣的信心裏,我們接受了渴望已久奇妙的恩賜——基督因我們的信住在我們心裏。 (四)「叫你們的愛心,有根有基,……便叫他一切所充滿的,充滿了你們。」這是人人可以經歷的事。 神的兒女啊,要用聖靈在這裏所給我們的話來餵養自己。以強烈的願望和孩子般的信心,默想父、子、聖靈在你裏面所已經作的工作。要牢牢地抓住這確實的把握,就是神要豐豐富富地作成一切超過我們所求所想的。 基督對我們說:「照著你們的信,給你們成全罷。」

四月廿六日 登上最高峰 「你帶著你的兒子……在我所要指示你的山上,把他獻為燔祭。」創世記廿二章2節 人格能決定一個人怎樣領悟神的旨意(參詩十八25─26)。亞伯拉罕以為神命令的意義,是宰殺兒子,他忍受很大的痛苦,才擺脫了這種遺傳。神沒有別法鍛鍊他的信心。如果我們依照我們真誠的信念,順從神所說的話,神會替我解脫那些錯誤的束縛。這樣的遺傳,有許多是要剷除的,例如神接去某孩子,是因為母親過於愛他──是魔鬼的謊語,是神真性的滑稽。如果魔鬼能阻止我們登上最高峰,叫我們去解除我們關於神的錯誤觀念,牠必然如此做。但是如果我們忠於神,神必領我們經過這種痛苦,達到顯明而進步的階段。 亞伯拉罕信神的要點,就是他準備做神的任何事情。他定要順從神,不問與他的信仰是否相反。亞伯拉罕不是他自己信仰的崇拜者,否則就殺掉了以撒,以天使的聲音為魔鬼的聲音。那是一位狂信之徒的態度。如果你永遠忠於神,神就領你經過各種障礙,達到認知祂的內幕;但總得要不固執你的信念和遺傳的信條。不要要求神試驗你,不要像彼得那樣說:「主啊,我就是同你下監,同你受死,也是甘心。」(路廿二33)亞伯拉罕沒有發表這樣的話,他不改對於神的忠心,而神也滌淨了他的信仰。

四月廿六日 「這些人都是存著信心死的……又承認自己在世上是客旅、是寄居的。」希伯來書十一章13節 如果你從來沒有在鄉下用犁挖出一條直直的犁溝,我會為你感到深深的可惜,更為那些驕傲到不願知道如何犁田的人感到遺憾。要想犁出一條直溝,你一定得在一條直線上釘兩根樁,才能使你的馬(或牛)靠著樁走出直線來。如果你面前只有一根樁,就沒有一個能讓你做準繩的定點,你會走著走著在不知不覺間即循曲線而行,使你所犁出來的溝像蛇盤在一起那樣地彎曲。但是如果你有兩根樁,而且是保持著它們成為直線,那麼你的犁溝一寸也不會歪,倒會像快箭直射,就如射到靶心一樣地直。 這對我們基督徒的生命而言,有一個很好的教訓。假使我們想走出一條筆直的路,我們也得有兩根樁——一根遠的、一根近的。僅僅為眼前的目標活是不夠的,我們更要有遠程的目標,才能成就輝煌的大事。
