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29日)
四月廿九日 「以利亞與我們是一樣性情的人。」雅各書五章17節 我們要為此感謝神,以利亞躺在羅騰樹下,訴苦埋怨,疑惑不信,真是我們的寫照。但當以利亞與神交通的時候,情況立刻轉變了。以利亞是與我們一樣性情的人,他卻禱告了又禱告,這是最重要的一點,不僅是懇切禱告,而是「他禱告了又禱告」。繼續不斷的禱告,我們從這一點教訓上應有所得著,因其關鍵所在,乃是必須繼續不斷的禱告。 以利亞上了迦密山頂,他領悟了「信心」和「眼見」之所以不同的偉大啟示。當時所需要的不是降下火來,而是降雨;能命令火的人可用同樣方法命令洪水。聖經告訴我們,他屈身在地,將臉伏在兩膝之中;使自己的視覺和聽覺與外界隔絕,一切不見不聞。 以利亞對他僕人說:「你上去觀看」。他去了回來,很簡單地報告道:「沒有什麼」。 我們若處於這種情形下將如何呢? 我們會說:「這是同我所料想的一樣」!於是放棄了禱告。可是以利亞是這樣嗎?不,他說:「再去看看」。他的僕人回來報告說:「沒有什麼」!「再去看」。「沒有什麼」。 後來,僕人回來報告道:「有手掌那麼大的一小片雲」。手掌大的一片雲在以利亞祈禱中升起,霎時間降下雨來;亞哈雖有快馬拉車,也來不及趕回撒瑪利亞的城門。這是信心之所以與眼見不同之處。信心把本身和外界隔絕,專心注目於神;眼見是憑觀察,甚麼也看不到;視覺雖帶來毫無希望的消息,信心則繼續堅持,「禱告了又禱告」。如何方能如此禱告而發生效力呢?讓視覺帶來任何失望的報告,都不要加以理會。永生的神總是在天上垂聽,即使遲延不答,也是出於祂的美意。 ─皮爾生 下面是三個孩子對信心所下的定義,可以說明信心堅強的程度。第一個孩子說:「信心是去握住基督」;第二個孩子說:「信心是抓牢基督」,第三個孩子說:「信心是絕不放鬆基督」。

April 29 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are."(James 5:17.) THANK God for that! He got under a juniper tree, as you and I have often done; he complained and murmured, as we have often done; was unbelieving, as we have often been. But that was not the case when he really got into touch with God. Though "a man subject to like passions as we are,""earnestly," but "he prayed in prayer." He kept on praying. What is the lesson here? You must keep praying. Come up on the top of Carmel, and see that remarkable parable of Faith and Sight. It was not the descent of the fire that now was necessary, but the descent of the flood' and the man that can command the fire can command the flood by the same means and methods. We are told that he bowed himself to the ground with his face between his knees; that is, shutting out all sights and sounds. He was putting himself in a position where, beneath his mantle, he could neither see nor hear what was going forward. He said to his servant, "Go and take an observation." He went and came back, and said─how sublimely brief! one word─"Nothing!" What do we do under such circumstances? We say, "It is just as I expected!" and we give up praying. Did Elijah? No, he said, "Go again." His servant again came back and said, "Nothing!" "Go again." "Nothing!" By and by he came back, and said, "There is a little cloud like a man's hand." A man's hand had been raised in supplication, and presently down came the rain; and Ahab had not time to get back to the gate of Samaria with all his fast steeds. This is a parable of Faith and Sight─faith shutting itself up with God; sight taking observations and seeing nothing; faith going right on, and "praying in prayer," with utterly hopeless reports from sight. Do you know how to pray that way, how to pray prevailingly? Let sight give as discouraging reports as it may, but pay no attention to these. The living God is still in the heavens and even to delay is part of His goodness. ─Arthur T. Pierson. Each of three boys gave a definition of faith which is an illustration of the tenacity of faith. The first boy said, "It is taking hold of Christ"; the second, "Keeping hold"; and the third, "Not letting go."

四月廿九日 不犯罪 「你們知道主曾顯現,是要除掉人的罪;在祂並沒有罪。凡住在祂裏面的,就不犯罪。」約翰一書三章5、6節 約翰把基督最後一晚所講到住在祂裏面的話,深刻在他心中,並在他的生命裏。他一直記得主有六次之多,說到愛祂並遵守祂的命令,乃是住在祂的愛裏,並接受父和祂兒子內住的途徑。所以在約翰老年時所寫的書信中,住在基督裏,就成了得著所應許之生活的鑰節。(約壹二6,24,28;三6,24;四13,16) 在我們所引的經文中,約翰教訓我們如何能蒙保守脫離罪:「凡住在祂裏面的,就不犯罪。」雖然我們的天性是有罪的,但我們若住在那位無罪的基督裏,就被釋放脫離罪的能力,並使我們一天過一天活著討神的喜悅。聖經記載主耶穌題到父時,這樣說「我常作祂所喜悅的事。」(約八29)所以約翰在書信中這樣寫:「親愛的弟兄啊,我們的心若不責備我們,就可以向神坦白無懼了,並且我們一切所求的就從他得著;因為我們遵守祂的命令,行祂所喜悅的事。」(約壹三22、23) 但願凡渴慕要得著自由,脫離罪惡權勢的人,都來接受這些簡單而意義深遠的話:「在祂並沒有罪。」(約壹三5)「我得以在祂裏面,是本乎神。」(參林前一30)「那在基督裏堅固我們的,就是神。」(林後一21)當我們尋求要住在那位沒有罪的主裏面時,基督就要在聖靈的大能裏,在我裏面實在活出祂自己的生命,並使我能過一種在凡事上討祂喜悅的生活。 親愛的神的兒女啊,你是被神呼召來過一種生活,在那生活裏,你的盼望就是對這位全能的神的信心。這是偉大的信心、堅強的信心、持續的信心。當你天天花時間將自己降服於那位平安的神,也就是在各樣善事上成全你,叫你遵行祂的旨意的神時,你就會經歷到:你心中所未曾想到的事,正是神所要作在那些等候祂的人裏面的。 「凡住在祂裏面的,就不犯罪。」這應許是確實的:全能的神保證說,祂要在你裏面,藉著基督耶穌行祂所喜悅的事。要在這樣的信心裏住在祂裏面。 「凡住在祂裏面的,就不犯罪。」「我不是對你說,你若信,就必看見神的榮耀麼?」(約十一40)

四月廿九日 不預知是一種幸福 「我們……將來如何,還未顯明。」約翰一書三章2節 自然,我們老是希求事前知道,以不能預先知道為一件不幸的事。我們以為我們必要達到某種一定的目標,但那不是屬靈的生命的本性。誰知屬靈的生命的本性,就是我們在不穩定裡面有所確知。若然,我們不必求一個固定的歸宿。常識說:「我如果在那個景況裡……」我們不能設想,我們所未經過的任何光景。 希求預先知道是常識生活的標記,在未全知中,而能放下心來,是靈性生活的標記。確信神,意思是我們在一切的途徑上,不必要求預先知道。我們不知道這一天有甚麼事發生,這實在是一種可喜的情況,但大多數人都以為是可歎息的。我們不一定知道我們舉手投足之後的結果如何,但是應該知道神是可靠的,是穩定的。我們順從神,努力當前的本分,祂準定使我們的生命緊張有趣。倘使我們成了某條信條的遵守者,我們在靈性上就死了;我們再不能稱為是信神者,僅能說,是相信對於神的信條。耶穌說:「你們若不變成像小孩子……」靈性生活是小孩子的生活。我們不是抓不住神,卻是不必預知祂將要做的事,如果我們只抓住我們的信條,我們就會自重嚴肅起來,而且有了定見;但當我們與神發生正當關係的時候,生命就充滿了伸縮性而在不預知中有快樂和期望。 耶穌沒有說:「要信那些關於我的事,乃是信我」。將這一切的事託付祂,不管祂將要來到的榮耀如何,祂是定然要來的,永遠忠誠於祂吧!

四月廿九日 「我卻不以性命為念……只要行完我的路程,成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事……。」使徒行傳廿章24節 這個完成我們個人職事的觀念可說是最嚴肅的一個,因為在基督的生命中,沒有比未完成的事工更叫人悲哀的。 當我回顧神的事工時,我可以看到很多人所未完成的職事。士師記告訴我們,因為神的子民在進迦南地時,沒有完成他們的工作,結果以色列民族有五百年的衰微歷史。雖然他們戰勝耶利哥城,打敗了卅一個王國、把地分給十二支派的族人,但是卻在各處留下不少尚未佔領的要塞,以及許多未逐之族。結果不久後,這些未逐之族竟征服了以色列、使約書亞所得之地全部被奪回。 讓我們看看以利亞的事工,他在迦密山上的勝利可說是世人最驚訝的成就,但是沒有人不對他勝利後第二天的表現感到傷心。耶洗別只稍微地動了動她的手指,以利亞就逃到曠野去,讓神的敵人奪取到他們所計劃的範圍。 事工光是持續一段短時間是不夠的,因為得勝在乎最後一步。願神將保羅行完其路程的觀念放在我們心中,如他所說:只要行完我的路程,成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事,證明神恩惠的福音。
