1:1 耶和華的話臨到毗土珥的兒子約珥。 The word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel.
1:2 老年人哪,當聽我的話;國中的居民哪,都要側耳而聽。在你們的日子,或你們列祖的日子,曾有這樣的事嗎? Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers? 1:3 你們要將這事傳與子,子傳與孫,孫傳與後代。 Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. 1:4 剪蟲剩下的,蝗蟲來吃;蝗蟲剩下的,蝻子來吃;蝻子剩下的,螞蚱來吃。 What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts \f 1:4 The precise meaning of the four Hebrew words used here for locusts is uncertain.\F have eaten. 1:5 酒醉的人哪,要清醒哭泣;好酒的人哪,都要為甜酒哀號,因為從你們的口中斷絕了。 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips. 1:6 有一隊蝗蟲〔原文是民〕又強盛又無數,侵犯我的地;牠的牙齒如獅子的牙齒,大牙如母獅的大牙。 A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness. 1:7 牠毀壞我的葡萄樹,剝了我無花果樹的皮,剝盡而丟棄,使枝條露白。 It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees. It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white. 1:8 我的民哪,你當哀號,像處女腰束麻布,為幼年的丈夫哀號。 Mourn like a virgin \f 1:8 Or ((young woman))\F in sackcloth grieving for the husband \f 1:8 Or ((betrothed))\F of her youth. 1:9 素祭和奠祭從耶和華的殿中斷絕;事奉耶和華的祭司都悲哀。 Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD. 1:10 田荒涼,地悲哀;因為五穀毀壞,新酒乾竭,油也缺乏。 The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; \f 1:10 Or ((ground mourns))\F the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil fails. 1:11 農夫啊,你們要慚愧;修理葡萄園的啊,你們要哀號;因為大麥小麥與田間的莊稼都滅絕了。 Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed. 1:12 葡萄樹枯乾;無花果樹衰殘。石榴樹、棕樹、蘋果樹,連田野一切的樹木也都枯乾;眾人的喜樂盡都消滅。 The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree-- all the trees of the field--are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away. 1:13 祭司啊,你們當腰束麻布痛哭;伺候祭壇的啊,你們要哀號;事奉我 神的啊,你們要來披上麻布過夜,因為素祭和奠祭從你們 神的殿中斷絕了。 Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. 1:14 你們要分定禁食的日子,宣告嚴肅會,招聚長老和國中的一切居民到耶和華─你們 神的殿,向耶和華哀求。 Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. 1:15 哀哉!耶和華的日子臨近了。這日來到,好像毀滅從全能者來到。 Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. \f 1:15 Hebrew ((Shaddai))\F 1:16 糧食不是在我們眼前斷絕了嗎?歡喜快樂不是從我們 神的殿中止息了嗎? Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes-- joy and gladness from the house of our God? 1:17 穀種在土塊下朽爛;倉也荒涼,廩也破壞;因為五穀枯乾了。 The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. \f 1:17 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.\F The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up. 1:18 牲畜哀鳴;牛群混亂,因為無草;羊群也受了困苦。 How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering. 1:19 耶和華啊,我向你求告,因為火燒滅曠野的草場;火焰燒盡田野的樹木。 To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. 1:20 田野的走獸向你發喘;因為溪水乾涸,火也燒滅曠野的草場。 Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the open pastures.

三月卅日 「凡你們點火用火把圍繞自己的,可以行在你們的火焰裏,並你們所點的火把中。這是我手所定的;你們必躺在悲慘之中。」以賽亞書五十章11節 這是一個嚴重的警告,對付那行在黑暗中而想設法自救的人們的。神說他們好像自己點火,用火把圍繞自己。這是甚麼意思呢? 這意思說:當我們在黑暗中遭遇試煉的時候,我們總想自謀出路,不肯信神靠神。我們本該讓祂施行拯救,可是我們頂喜歡自己籌畫。我們尋求理由的結論,親友的勸告。結果,就會採納一個不出於神的方法。這些都是我們自己點的火焰和火把,凡匆促的引導,必定會把我們導入錯誤的歧途,若向這種光亮前進,結果卻是悲慘。 所以,親愛的,不要想用自己的謀算逃出黑暗,我們該等候神的時間和神的方法。受試煉是學習我們所需的功課。 不成熟的拯救會阻撓神在我們身上的工作。我們應該把一切的難處交給神。只要有祂的同在,就該甘心等在黑暗中。請記得在黑暗中與神同行,強如在光明中單獨行走。─譯自微小的聲音 我們不該干預神的計畫和旨意。甚麼時候我們摸一摸祂的事情,我們立刻會弄壞祂的工作。我們儘可以把鐘撥到我們所要的時間,但是我們不能改變實在的時間;我們儘可以擘開玫瑰的花蕾,可是我們擘壞了那花。照樣,我們儘可以自己謀算來躲避神所要我們經過的遭遇,但是於事無補。所以我們該將一切完全交給祂。讓我們住手罷。讓我們對神說:「只要照你的旨意,不要照我的旨意。」 ─麥力德 祂的道路 出林裏寒冷陰冥, 我想停步, 神卻要我前行, 我不明白為了什麼原因, 忽在意欲停步的地方, 傳出岩石崩塌的巨聲。 我要前進, 神吩咐我停止, 我說:「遵照您的意旨」。 一大清晨有人發現, 在我要去的路上, 躺著斫死的毒蟒。 我或許不明究竟, 但我不再計問, 什麼緣故, 祂指點我的路徑, 我就走去, 我雖無知, 卻有數, 總為我…選擇全安道路。

March 30 "Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow."(Isa. 50:11.) WHAT a solemn warning to those who walks in darkness and yet who try to help themselves out into the light. They are represented as kindling a fire, and compassing themselves with sparks. What does this mean? Why, it means that when we are in darkness the temptation is to find a way without trusting in the Lord and relying upon Him. Instead of letting Him help us out, we try to help ourselves out. We seek the light of nature, and get the advice of our friends. We try the conclusions of our reason, and might almost be tempted to accept a way of deliverance which would not be of God at all. All these are fires of our own kindling; rushlights that will surely lead us onto the shoals. And God will let us walk in he light of those sparks, but the end will be sorrow. Beloved, do not try to get out of a dark place, except in God's time and in God's way. The time of trouble is meant to teach you lessons that you sorely need. Premature deliverance may frustrate God's work of grace in your life. Just commit the whole situation to Him. Be willing to abide in darkness so long as you have His presence. Remember that it is better to walk in the dark with God than to walk alone in the light. ─The Still small Voice. Cease meddling with God's plans and will. You touch anything of His, and you mar the work. You may move the hands of a clock to suit you, but you do not change the time; so you may hurry the unfolding of God's will, but you harm and do not help the work. You can open a rosebud but you spoil the flower. Leave all to Him. Hands down. Thy will, not mine. ─Stephen Merritt. HIS WAY God bade me go when I would stay ('Twas cool within the wood); I did not know the reason why. I heard a boulder crashing by Across the path where I stood. He bade me stay when I would go; "Thy will be done," I said. They found one day at early dawn, Across the way I would have gone, A serpent with a mangled head. No more I ask the reason why, Although I may not see The path ahead, His way I go; For though I know not, He doth Know, safe paths for me. And He will choose ─The Sunday School Times.

三月卅日 君尊榮司的職分 「你求告我,我就應允你,並將你所不知道,又大又難的事指示你。」耶利米書卅三章3節 當你向神祈求新約中更大的恩惠時,需具有以下四種思想: (一)神極其願意祝福人。祂的本性就是一個保證。祂樂於施憐憫,也等待施恩。祂的應許及聖徒的經歷也向我們證實這件事。 (二)那麼,為甚麼遲遲不祝福?當神照著祂自己的旨意造人,使人成為神的同伴,管理這地時,神限制了祂自己。祂使自己被人的作為所限制。而人又可以藉著祈求而使神不得不祝福。 (三)試想,神因著祂兒女不祈求或禱告太少是何等受阻、憂傷。教會光景下沉,生命顯得很弱,缺少使罪人悔改及教會成聖的聖靈大能,這一切都由於禱告的欠缺。但若神的兒女不止息地向神呼籲,教會的光景及外邦人的情形將是何等不同! (四)然而神仍然賜福,完全在於祂百姓的信心與熱心的程度。這並不是說人就可以滿足於此,以為神已祝福;而毋寧說:如果像我們這樣微弱的禱告,神尚且施恩,那麼我們若將全人投入代禱中,神將更施何等的恩呢! (五)我們當如何向神懊悔認罪,因著我們奉獻的不夠使神對世界的施恩受到攔阻!祂時刻等待施拯救,只是我們不願全心全意奉獻給主、服事祂。 神的兒女們哪!神指望你們在祂寶座前作代禱者。我求你們能醒悟過來,知道你們蒙神聖召乃是要作君尊的祭司。巴望你們重新有一個新的生活,真知道你們的代禱正如主耶穌在高天之上為我們代求一樣,乃是人類所指望的一種最高特權。帶著這樣的靈,在指望中抓住神的話:「你求告我,我就應允你,並將你所不知道,又大又難的事指示你。」 凡是讀到這裡的人,還能說不願意也不希望答應神這個蒙福的呼召——在主耶穌基督的大能裡,為著神對教會的施恩,為著這將滅亡的世界,把代禱當成生活唯一的目標嗎?難道這個要求太過嗎?為著那為我們捨命的主,我們獻身於此神聖的祭司職分,一生服事祂,會覺得太多嗎?

三月卅日 是崇拜呢?還是要挾呢? 「祂見無人代求,甚為詫異。」以賽亞書五九章16節 我們中有許多人,其所向神剛硬而不禱告的緣故,是因為我們在禱告方面,只有一種表面的情感和興趣。有人以為禱告,是體面的事,並且瀏覽指導禱告的書籍,以為禱告的時候我們的心可以安靜,我們的靈可以超昇;但是以賽亞謂神對於這種禱告,有詫異之感。 崇拜和代求是分不開的,沒有代求便不能有崇拜了。代求的意思,是激動我們自己得到基督的心,替人祈禱。我們太注意祈禱的措詞,而忽略了敬拜神的事實。我們是敬拜神,或是與神辯論呢?──「我不知道您是怎樣能如此做的。」這是我們不敬拜神的明證。當我們離開神的時候,我們便硬心,便武斷起來。我們將請求拋到神的寶座前,強迫祂替我們做所想望的事。我們不敬拜神,也不追求基督的旨意。如果我們對於神硬心,對於人也必硬心。 我們是激動自己去握住神,與祂心心相印,替別人禱告麼?是以這種方式去敬拜神麼?我們生活是與神有聖潔的關係呢?抑或是硬著心武斷起來呢? 「但是沒有一種正式的代求人」──你就做個正式的代求人吧!你就做個崇拜神,生活在祂聖潔關係中的人吧!努力代求的真實工作,不但是一種工作,而且是運用全力的工作,沒有陷阱的工作。傳福音也許有陷阱;代求的工作是絕然沒有的。

三月三十日 「……我願你凡事興盛,身體健壯,正如你的靈魂興盛一樣。」約翰三書2節 箴言十二章28節說:「在公義的道上有生命,其路之中,並無死亡。」這正是得到醫治的秘訣。與神和好,以祂為中心地活著,那麼你就可以免得任何傷害。當惡魔的箭碰到公義的盾牌時,箭會立刻落地,也因此信心在每一次強烈的攻擊之後,會變得更堅強。彼得前書三章13節所說:「你們若是熱心行善,有誰害你們呢?」是何等真實啊!提摩太前書一章19節說:「常存信心和無虧的良心,有人丟棄良心,就在真道上如同船破壞了一般。」也是真言。 出埃及記十五章26節則說:「……你若留意聽耶和華你神的話,又行我眼中看為正的事,留心聽我的誡命,守我一切的律例,我就不能將所加與埃及人的疾病加在你身上,因為我耶和華是醫治你的。」所以讓我們行神眼中看為正的事。 有一個問題是神逢人就問的, 祂要我們自省, 看看我們是否與神完全和好。
