1:1 耶和華的話臨到亞米太的兒子約拿,說: The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai:
1:2 「你起來往尼尼微大城去,向其中的居民呼喊,因為他們的惡達到我面前。」 <<Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.>> 1:3 約拿卻起來,逃往他施去躲避耶和華;下到約帕,遇見一隻船,要往他施去。他就給了船價,上了船,要與船上的人同往他施去躲避耶和華。 But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. 1:4 然而耶和華使海中起大風,海就狂風大作,甚至船幾乎破壞。 Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up. 1:5 水手便懼怕,各人哀求自己的神。他們將船上的貨物拋在海中,為要使船輕些。約拿已下到底艙,躺臥沉睡。 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 1:6 船主到他那裏對他說:「你這沉睡的人哪,為何這樣呢?起來,求告你的神,或者神顧念我們,使我們不致滅亡。」 The captain went to him and said, <<How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us, and we will not perish.>> 1:7 船上的人彼此說:「來吧,我們掣籤,看看這災臨到我們是因誰的緣故。」於是他們掣籤,掣出約拿來。 Then the sailors said to each other, <<Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.>> They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. 1:8 眾人對他說:「請你告訴我們,這災臨到我們是因誰的緣故?你以何事為業?你從哪裏來?你是哪一國?屬哪一族的人?」 So they asked him, <<Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?>> 1:9 他說:「我是希伯來人。我敬畏耶和華─那創造滄海旱地之天上的 神。」 He answered, <<I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land.>> 1:10 他們就大大懼怕,對他說:「你做的是甚麼事呢?」他們已經知道他躲避耶和華,因為他告訴了他們。 This terrified them and they asked, <<What have you done?>> (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.) 1:11 他們問他說:「我們當向你怎樣行,使海浪平靜呢?」這話是因海浪越發翻騰。 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, <<What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?>> 1:12 他對他們說:「你們將我抬起來,拋在海中,海就平靜了;我知道你們遭這大風是因我的緣故。」 <<Pick me up and throw me into the sea,>> he replied, <<and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.>> 1:13 然而那些人竭力盪槳,要把船攏岸,卻是不能,因為海浪越發向他們翻騰。 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. 1:14 他們便求告耶和華說:「耶和華啊,我們懇求你,不要因這人的性命使我們死亡,不要使流無辜血的罪歸與我們;因為你─耶和華是隨自己的意旨行事。」 Then they cried to the LORD, <<O LORD, please do not let us die for taking this man's life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, O LORD, have done as you pleased.>> 1:15 他們遂將約拿抬起,拋在海中,海的狂浪就平息了。 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. 1:16 那些人便大大敬畏耶和華,向耶和華獻祭,並且許願。 At this the men greatly feared the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him. 1:17 耶和華安排一條大魚吞了約拿,他在魚腹中三日三夜。 But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.

三月廿七日 「我想現在的苦楚,若比起將來要顯於我們的榮耀,就不足介意了。」羅馬書八章18節 最近在英國舉行的一次婚禮中,發生了奇蹟。新郎是富有的青年,社會地位很高,不幸在十歲的時候,因遇意外而雙目失明,他雖然從未看見過她的面容。結婚前不久,他由眼科專家施行手術,故事的最高峰,就發生在舉行婚禮的那天。 那天,賓客和禮物紛紛而到。有內閣大臣、將軍、主教和學術界的仕女們。新郎穿了禮服,眼睛仍蒙著紗布和他父親一同乘車來到教堂,那位有名的眼科專家也早等在牧師的法衣室裏了。 新娘挽著白髮蒼蒼的老父的手臂,進入教堂。她的情緒激動萬分,不能開口,在今天她的愛人究竟能否恢復視覺,終將看見她的面貌?她的美麗素為別人所艷羨,而他在過去,只能以敏銳的指尖去摸索的。當她走進聖壇的時候,婚禮進行曲的柔和音調,瀰漫了整個教堂,她的目光注視著新郎和伴著他的眼科醫生。 父與子都站在那裏,新郎面前,站著那位眼科專家,正在割斷最後一條繃帶。新郎向前跨了一步,好像大夢初醒,仍有些迷茫不知所措的樣子。一道玫瑰色的光線穿過教堂的有色玻璃,照到他臉上,他好像仍舊不敢相信已經看見了這道亮光。 究竟看見了沒有呢?看見了!瞬刻間恢復了穩定的姿態,帶著空前的莊嚴和喜悅,走向前去會見他的新娘?他們眼對眼彼此凝視,旁觀者不禁覺得,他的目光似乎永不會移開她的臉了。 女的說:「終於看見了!」男的低下頭去莊重地應聲道:「終於看見了!」這是十分感人的一幕,也是極大的喜悅。它暗示我們,這將是發生於天堂的實際情景,當基督徒經歷了人世的苦難和悲哀,終將同樣地和神面對著面彼此相見。 ─選 親愛的真主耶穌, 我永遠渴念您, 不知何年何日, 您再臨入世, 我是一心在翹企。 我所言所行, 都是為了渴望著您。 那歡樂的日子到來的時候, 使望待成為過去, 我會看見您, 聽到您的聲音, 分享您的歡欣, 這希望給我多少鼓勵, 我正企盼慇懃。

March 27 "I do not count the sufferings of our present life worthy of mention when compared with the glory that is to be revealed and bestowed upon us." (Rom. 8:18.) (20th Century Trans.) A REMARKABLE incident occurred recently at a wedding in England. A young man of large wealth and high social position, who had been blinded by an accident when he was ten years old, and who won University honors in spite of his blindness, had won a beautiful bride, though he had never looked upon her face. A little while before his marriage, he submitted to a course of treatment by experts, and the climax came on the day of his wedding. The day came, and the presents, and guests. There were present cabinet ministers and generals and bishops and learned men and women. The bridegroom, dressed for the wedding, his eyes still shrouded in linen, drove to the church with his father, and the famous oculist met them in the vestry. The bride, entered the church on the arm of her white-haried father. So moved was she that she could hardly speak. Was her lover at last to see her face that others admired, but which he knew only through his delicate finger tips? As she neared the altar, while the soft strains of the wedding march floated through the church, her eyes fell on a strange group. The father stood there with his son. Before the latter was the great oculist in the act of cutting away the last bandage. The bridegroom took a step forward, with the spasmodic uncertainty of one who cannot believe that he is awake. A beam of rose- colored light from a pane in the chancel window fell across his face, but he did not seem to see it. Did he see anything? Yes! Recovering in an instant his steadiness of mien, and with a dignity and joy never before seen in his face, he went forward to meet his bride. They looked into each Other's eyes, and one would have thought that his eyes would never wander from her face. "At last!" she said. "At last!" he echoed solemnly, bowing his head. that was a scene of great dramatic power, and no doubt of great joy, and is but a mere suggestion of what will actually take place in Heaven when the Christian who has been walking through this world of trial and sorrow, shall see HIM face to face. ─Selected. "Just a-wearying for you, Jesus, Lord, beloved and true; Wishing for you, wondering when You'll be coming back again, Under all I say and do, Just a-wearying for you. "Some glad day, all watching past, You will come for me at last; Then I'll see you, hear your voice, Be with you, with you rejoice; How the sweet hope thrills me through, Sets me wearying for you."

三月廿七日 我的偉大心願 「有一件事我曾求耶和華,我仍要尋求,就是一生一世在耶和華的殿中,瞻仰祂的榮美,在祂的殿裡求問。」詩篇廿七篇4節 在這裡,我們看見人對神願意住在人裡面的反應。當神的心意掌管了我們的生活及心思意念時,我們唯一的願望就是——一生一世住在耶和華的殿中,瞻仰祂的榮美,以聖潔的妝飾敬拜祂;並在祂的殿內求問,學習明白神的話:「我耶和華說過,也必成就。他們必為這事向我求問,我要給他們成就。」 我們愈認識神的愛,願意將祂自己安息在我們心裡,我們就愈樂意儘快天天住在祂的殿中,瞻仰祂的榮美,並且代禱的靈就更多充滿我們。向神祈求祂在新約中所應許的一切,不論我們是想到教會或是國家,家庭或是學校,近處的人或遠處的人,蒙恩者的需要,或是未蒙恩者及他們的危險。神的確渴望在人的心中找到祂的住處及安息的所在,只要有人求問祂。這使我們全人為了錫安的緣故,不顧一切努力向前。我們所有軟弱無價值的思想,都要被神奇妙的話所吞沒。神提到人心時曾說:「這是我永久安息之處;我要住在這裡,因為是我所樂意的。」 由於我們的信心看見了神此一呼召是何等高,神就使迫切恆久的禱告,成了神旨意成就所不可或缺的條件。我們被吸引而放下我們的生活,為要與神同行更近,一直服事祂,並在弟兄們面前見證,神在他們與我們裡面所要做成的工。 那豈不是奇妙嗎?神竟要我們做祂的同伴,將祂的意願交託我們,保留在我們心中?而我們何其羞慚!因為我們對此並無多少認識。 禱告: 我們在天上的父,我們懇求您賜下能力,就是恩典的聖靈給您的子民——靠主耶穌的名,阿們。

三月廿七日 因人格之性質而見異象 「你上到這裡來,我要將……事指示你。」啟示錄四章1節 一種高尚的氣象,是從人格的性質與高尚的習慣而來。如果在你生活的外表,你能生活在你認為最高尚的生活裡,神將不斷的對你說:「朋友!再上來吧!」對付試探的箴言是「上進」。當你上進了一步的時候,你會遇著其他的試探。撒但利用上進的計策來試探人,神也是如此,不過結果兩樣。當惡魔把你置在高位的時候,他使你緊持著你聖潔的意見,超過肉體之軀之所能受,這是一種靈性的走繩戲,你只求平衡,而不敢移動。但當神用恩典來把你提高,提到高地的時候,不是把你提到膽顫心驚的尖頂,而是提到一個轉動自如的大平原。 試將你本禮拜靈性的歷程,與去年本禮拜的靈性歷程,作個比較,定會看出神已經把你提高了。我們都是到了較高的一峰,不要辜負神所指示你的真理,讓它不得立刻實現,要常常力行出來,把它放在光明之中。 恩典中的長進不是以你沒有後退的事實來衡量,而是以你靈性的透視來估計;你曾經聽見神說:「向上進,」這不是叫你上到高位上,卻是叫你的人格增進。 「我所要作的事,豈可瞞著亞伯拉罕呢?」神瞞著我們,不是永遠瞞著,而是瞞到祂能揭示的地步,祂才向我們揭示出來。

三月廿七日 「我懼怕的時候要倚靠您。」詩篇五十六篇3節 當一位紳士問喬治慕勒如何得到堅強的信心時,他的回答可說令我畢生難忘。這位信心之父說:「得到堅強信心的惟一辦法是經歷大的試煉。我就是藉著在大試煉中堅定自己,學習到信心的功課。」慕勒先生所說的非常真實,因為當一切都失敗時,我們只有全然靠主。所以如果我們能看出目前所經歷的事其中之價值,即使我們正處在大災難中,相信仍能靠信心忍耐過去。如果我們能學會交託,祂會在這樣的光景中教導我們依靠祂的王權。祂曾說:「不要怕、只要信。」所以當你害怕時,你當仰起頭來說:「我懼怕的時候,要倚靠您。」而後,你更會感謝神,藉著學習接納苦難,讓你變得有信心。 朋友們, 讓我們注意祂的警戒, 從今天起順服祂的聲音。 愛你的聖靈正在呼喚, 不要讓聖靈擔憂。
