1:1 約書亞死後，以色列人求問耶和華說：「我們中間誰當首先上去攻擊迦南人，與他們爭戰？」 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the LORD, <<Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?>>
1:2 耶和華說：「猶大當先上去，我已將那地交在他手中。」 The LORD answered, <<Judah is to go; I have given the land into their hands.>> 1:3 猶大對他哥哥西緬說：「請你同我到拈鬮所得之地去，好與迦南人爭戰；以後我也同你到你拈鬮所得之地去。」於是西緬與他同去。 Then the men of Judah said to the Simeonites their brothers, <<Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours.>> So the Simeonites went with them. 1:4 猶大就上去；耶和華將迦南人和比利洗人交在他們手中。他們在比色擊殺了一萬人， When Judah attacked, the LORD gave the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek. 1:5 又在那裏遇見亞多尼比色，與他爭戰，殺敗迦南人和比利洗人。 It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites. 1:6 亞多尼比色逃跑；他們追趕，拿住他，砍斷他手腳的大姆指。 Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes. 1:7 亞多尼比色說：「從前有七十個王，手腳的大姆指都被我砍斷，在我桌子底下拾取零碎食物。現在 神按著我所行的報應我了。」於是他們將亞多尼比色帶到耶路撒冷，他就死在那裏。 Then Adoni-Bezek said, <<Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.>> They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. 1:8 猶大人攻打耶路撒冷，將城攻取，用刀殺了城內的人，並且放火燒城。 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire. 1:9 後來猶大人下去，與住山地、南地，和高原的迦南人爭戰。 After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negev and the western foothills. 1:10 猶大人去攻擊住希伯崙的迦南人，殺了示篩、亞希幔、撻買。希伯崙從前名叫基列‧亞巴。 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron (formerly called Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai. 1:11 他們從那裏去攻擊底壁的居民；底壁從前名叫基列‧西弗。 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher). 1:12 迦勒說：「誰能攻打基列‧西弗，將城奪取，我就把我女兒押撒給他為妻。」 And Caleb said, <<I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.>> 1:13 迦勒兄弟基納斯的兒子俄陀聶奪取了那城，迦勒就把女兒押撒給他為妻。 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage. 1:14 押撒過門的時候，勸丈夫向她父親求一塊田。押撒一下驢，迦勒問她說：「你要甚麼？」 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him 1:14 Hebrew; Septuagint and Vulgate ((Othniel, he urged her)) to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, <<What can I do for you?>> 1:15 她說：「求你賜福給我，你既將我安置在南地，求你也給我水泉。」迦勒就把上泉下泉賜給她。 She replied, <<Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.>> Then Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs. 1:16 摩西的內兄〔或譯：岳父〕是基尼人，他的子孫與猶大人一同離了棕樹城，往亞拉得以南的猶大曠野去，就住在民中。 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went up from the City of Palms 1:16 That is, Jericho with the men of Judah to live among the people of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad. 1:17 猶大和他哥哥西緬同去，擊殺了住洗法的迦南人，將城盡行毀滅，那城的名便叫何珥瑪。 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites their brothers and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed 1:17 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the LORD, often by totally destroying them. the city. Therefore it was called Hormah. 1:17 ((Hormah)) means ((destruction.)) 1:18 猶大又取了迦薩和迦薩的四境，亞實基倫和亞實基倫的四境，以革倫和以革倫的四境。 The men of Judah also took 1:18 Hebrew; Septuagint ((Judah did not take)) Gaza, Ashkelon and Ekron--each city with its territory. 1:19 耶和華與猶大同在，猶大就趕出山地的居民，只是不能趕出平原的居民，因為他們有鐵車。 The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots. 1:20 以色列人照摩西所說的，將希伯崙給了迦勒；迦勒就從那裏趕出亞衲族的三個族長。 As Moses had promised, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak. 1:21 便雅憫人沒有趕出住耶路撒冷的耶布斯人。耶布斯人仍在耶路撒冷與便雅憫人同住，直到今日。 The Benjamites, however, failed to dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites. 1:22 約瑟家也上去攻打伯特利；耶和華與他們同在。 Now the house of Joseph attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them. 1:23 約瑟家打發人去窺探伯特利（那城起先名叫路斯）。 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz), 1:24 窺探的人看見一個人從城裏出來，就對他說：「求你將進城的路指示我們，我們必恩待你。」 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, <<Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.>> 1:25 那人將進城的路指示他們，他們就用刀擊殺了城中的居民，但將那人和他全家放去。 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared the man and his whole family. 1:26 那人往赫人之地去，築了一座城，起名叫路斯。那城到如今還叫這名。 He then went to the land of the Hittites, where he built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day. 1:27 瑪拿西沒有趕出伯善和屬伯善鄉村的居民，他納和屬他納鄉村的居民，多珥和屬多珥鄉村的居民，以伯蓮和屬以伯蓮鄉村的居民，米吉多和屬米吉多鄉村的居民；迦南人卻執意住在那些地方。 But Manasseh did not drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor or Ibleam or Megiddo and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that land. 1:28 及至以色列強盛了，就使迦南人做苦工，沒有把他們全然趕出。 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely. 1:29 以法蓮沒有趕出住基色的迦南人。於是迦南人仍住在基色，在以法蓮中間。 Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, but the Canaanites continued to live there among them. 1:30 西布倫沒有趕出基倫的居民和拿哈拉的居民。於是迦南人仍住在西布倫中間，成了服苦的人。 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, who remained among them; but they did subject them to forced labor. 1:31 亞設沒有趕出亞柯和西頓的居民，亞黑拉和亞革悉的居民，黑巴、亞弗革與利合的居民。 Nor did Asher drive out those living in Acco or Sidon or Ahlab or Aczib or Helbah or Aphek or Rehob, 1:32 於是，亞設因為沒有趕出那地的迦南人，就住在他們中間。 and because of this the people of Asher lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. 1:33 拿弗他利沒有趕出伯‧示麥和伯亞納的居民，於是拿弗他利就住在那地的迦南人中間；然而伯‧示麥和伯亞納的居民成了服苦的人。 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh or Beth Anath; but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. 1:34 亞摩利人強逼但人住在山地，不容他們下到平原； The Amorites confined the Danites to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain. 1:35 亞摩利人卻執意住在希烈山和亞雅倫並沙賓。然而約瑟家勝了他們，使他們成了服苦的人。 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres, Aijalon and Shaalbim, but when the power of the house of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. 1:36 亞摩利人的境界，是從亞克拉濱坡，從西拉而上。 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion 1:36 Hebrew ((Akrabbim)) Pass to Sela and beyond. 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（01月15日）
一月十五日 「當夜耶和華向他顯現。」創廿六章24節 以撒上別示巴去，當夜耶和華向他顯現。你想這個顯現是偶然的麼？你想「當夜」也是碰巧的麼？你想神儘可以在別一夜顯現麼？如果你這麼想，你是絕對錯誤了。為甚麼神在以撒到別示巴的那一夜向他顯現呢？因為那一夜以撒進入了安息。在原有之地，他為了幾口井起了幾次的爭鬧，他的心頂紛亂、頂痛苦。雖然爭鬧過去了，可是難保那地的居民以後無事。他覺悟了，決意離開那爭鬧之地，上別示巴去，另換一個環境。那裡他把所有的爭鬧拋卸了，他得了安息。當夜耶和華向他顯現，神的啟示只臨到靈裡沒有風波的人。以撒在靈的安息裡聽見神的話語，那安靜的夜也就是多星的夜。 我的心哪，你可記得「你們要鎮靜，並要知道……」（詩四六10，直譯）你心裡紛亂的時候，你不能聽見神給你的禱告的答應。多少時候，我們禱告了許久，可是還沒有得到神的答應，都因為內心有雷轟、地震、風波、炸裂。可是當你的心靜下來，進入了安息，神的答應就來了。哦，我的心哪，你必須安息，不要為了爭鬧、紛亂、掛慮……而跳得緊張了。那麼，當夜耶和華會向你顯現。洪水退落的時候，發見了虹霓；照樣，當你鎮靜的時候，也會聽見神的聲音。 ─馬得勝 在孤寂中走你的路， 心平氣和， 無懼無慮， 你會領略神的奇蹟， 決非語言所能傾訴。 那群市井小人， 錙珠計較， 而結果一切流於空妄， 你眼前卻浮現出天國的美景， 玄妙的音樂， 正在那裏迴盪。 讓別人去走污濁的道路， 保持你靈魂的純潔光明， 就像海面太陽的飛昇， 反射出水天一色，輝耀晶瑩。 ─選 「那賜諸般恩典的神，曾在基督裡召你們，得享祂永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。」（彼前五10）

January 15 "And the Lord appeared unto Isaac the same night." (Gen. 26:24.) ＡPPEARED the same night," the night on which he went to beer-sheba. Do you think this revelation was an accident? Do you think the time of it was an accident? Do you think it could have happened on any other night as well as this? If so, you are grievously mistaken. Why did it come to Isaac in the night on which he reached beer-sheba? Beacuse that was the night on which he reached rest. In his old locality, he had been tormented. There had been a whole series of petty quarrels about the possession of paltry wells. There are no worries like little worries, particularly if there is an accumulation of them. Isaac felt this. Even after the strife was past, the place retained a disagreeable association. He determined to leave. He sought change of scene. He pitched his tent away from the place of former strife. That very night the revelation came. God spoke when there was no inward storm. He could not speak when the mind was fretted; His voice demands the silence of the soul. Only in the hush of the spirit could Isaac hear the garments of his God sweep by. His still night was his starry night. My soul, hast thou pondered these words, "Be still, and know"? In the hour of perturbation, thou canst not hear the answer to thy prayers. How often has the answer seemed to come long after! The heart got no response in the moment of its crying─in its thunder, its earthquake, and its fire. But when the crying ceased, when the stillness fell, when thy hand desisted from knocking on the iron gate, when the interest of other lives broke the tragedy of thine own, then appeared th long-delayed reply. Thou must rest, O soul, it thou wouldst have thy heart's desire. Still the beating of thy pulse of personal care. Hide thy tempest of individual trouble behind the altar of a common tribulation and, that same night, the Lord shall appear to thee. The rainbow shall span the place of the subsiding flood, and in thy stillness thou shalt hear the everlasting music. ─George Matheson. Tread in solitude thy pathway, Quiet heart and undismayed. Thou shalt know things strange, mysterious, Which to thee no voice has said. While the crowd of petty hustlers Grasps at vain and paltry things, Thou wilt see a great world rising Where soft mystic music rings. Leave the dusty road to others, Spotless keep thy soul and bright, As the radiant ocean's surface When the sun is taking flight. ─(From the German of V. Schoffel) H.F.

一月十五日 對弟兄的愛 「我賜給你們一條新命令，乃是叫你們彼此相愛；我怎樣愛你們，你們也要怎樣相愛。」約翰福音十三章34節 主耶穌曾告訴祂的門徒說，父怎樣愛祂，祂也怎樣愛他們。現在我們既傚法祂的榜樣，我們就必須用這同一的愛來彼此相愛。「你們若有彼此相愛的心，眾人因此就認出你們是我的門徒了。」（約十三35）祂曾禱告說：「使他們都合而為一；正如你父在我裡面，我在你裡面，使他們也在我們裡面；叫世人可以信您差了我來。」（約十七21）若是我們把神向著基督的愛，並基督向著我們的愛彰顯出來，世人就不能不承認我們的信仰乃是純正的，也是從上頭來的了。 這就是實際所發生的事：希利尼人和羅馬人，猶太人和外邦人，彼此原是互相仇恨的，但他們現在能夠相愛。在全世界各國中，難得有這一個彼此相愛的思想。對於犧牲自己的觀念，他們更是陌生的。當外邦人看見來自各國各地的基督徒，在聖靈大能的工作之下，成為一個；甚至在患難或疾病中，需要犧牲自己的關頭，還能彼此相愛，——他們就驚奇了，說道：「看哪！這些人怎麼會這樣彼此相愛呢？」 在許多基督徒中間，他們能在信仰上有一些合一，並且也能有一點弟兄的感覺，然而基督那個屬天的愛，卻是常常缺少的，所以他們不能擔當別人的重擔，也不能熱切的去愛別人。 要禱告主，好讓你能用基督愛你的那個愛，去愛你的弟兄。若是我們住在基督的愛裡，並讓這一個愛充滿在我們心裡，就必有一個超然的能力賜給我們，使我們能從心裡去愛所有神的兒女。聖父和聖子之間的愛，基督與跟隨祂的人之間的愛，是聯結得如何親密，照樣所有神兒女中間的愛，也必須這樣親密。

一月十五日 你穿著白衣行走麼？ 「和祂一同埋葬，原是叫我們一舉一動有新生的樣式。」羅馬書六章4節 一個人如果不經過「白葬」──舊生命的埋葬，就不會獲得完全成聖的經驗。如果從沒有經過這種死的轉變，成聖，至多是一種幻像。務必有一次的白葬，一次的死。僅僅只有一次的復活──一種歸於耶穌基督的生命的復活。這種生命是不能覆滅的，是與神一致的，是見證神的。 你真的達到你生命的盡頭麼？也許你曾經在感覺中達到過；但是你真的達到了麼？你不能興奮起來去埋葬自己，也不能興奮起來去死。死的意思是停止存在。你曾像做過熱誠而奮鬥的基督徒，如今，你與神同意，就不做這樣基督徒了麼？我們徘徊於墳園之旁，而從未死去。這並不是真的死去，而是垂死，如死去了一樣──「受洗歸入祂的死。」（羅六3） 你曾經「白葬了」嗎？還是用你的靈魂正在扮演丑角呢？你在你的生命中，畫著一個死期的標記沒有？在這死期標記之下回憶的時候，你能留下一個警惕和恩意的記憶嗎？「是的，能，就是在那『白葬禮』的時候，就是我與神結約同意的時候。」 「甚至你的成聖也是神的旨意。」當你確覺神的旨意是甚麼的時候，你就自自然然的達到成聖的地步。你現在願意經過「白葬」麼？這是你在世上的死期，你與祂同意麼？那同意的全權操在你，以你為轉移。

一月十五日 「你們既然接受了主基督耶穌，就當遵祂而行。」歌羅西書二章6節 讓我們一直住在祂裡面，因為讓火繼續燃燒，比起熄了再點燈要容易得多。讓我們不需天天將灰燼從爐底掃出，然後再重新起火；就讓火不斷地燒、永不停止。希臘人從來不讓聖火熄滅，所以再次提昇這個意義，使屬天的火焰在我們心中的祭壇上繼續發光。 保持一個好習慣，要比培養一個好習慣容易得多。當一個屬靈的習性成形之後，就會變成我們的自然天性，而且我們會快樂地、自由地順著習慣走天路。「我們……竭力進到完全的地步，不必再立根基，就如那懊悔死行……」(來六１)，「我們到了甚麼地步，就當照著甚麼地步行。」(腓三16) 每一個屬靈的習性在培養之初都有困難、需要特別費力費心，但是只要我們有恆心地建立這些習慣，而後在我們的生命中，我們就可以順著這些習慣、自然且自由地與神繼續同行。
