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13日)
一月十三日 「靠著愛我們的主,在這一切的事上,已經得勝有餘了。」羅馬書八章37節 得勝有餘!得勝有餘並不是僅僅得勝,乃是得勝到一個地步非但不輸,而且還攻陷敵陣,擄掠戰利品。我們如何可以「得勝有餘」呢?「得勝有餘」必須在一個受試煉、逼迫的處境中,方能得到。所有的試煉都是絕對必需的,試煉可以使我們的靈命堅固。這好比磁器上的畫,必須經過火燒,纔能永久存留;也像山嶺上的香柏木,必須經過疾風的搖動,纔會紮根更深。我們所遭遇的屬靈戰爭,實在是一種變相的祝福;我們的大仇敵撒但,原是被利用來訓練我們,為要我們得最後勝利的。相傳古時弗利家(Phrygia)民族,每次戰勝仇敵後,總把敵人的血吸盡,他們以為這樣可以把敵人的體力和膽量加進自己的身體中去。不錯,勝一次試煉,就是倍一次我們屬靈的力量。因此,以後我們不只能勝仇敵,而且還能擄掠他們,使他們站在我們的戰線上替我們爭戰。以賽亞說:「他們要向西飛,撲在非利士人的肩頭上;一同擄掠東方人,伸手按住以東和摩押;亞捫人也必順服他們。」(賽十一14)非利士人是他們的敵人,但是他們不只能戰勝非利士人,而且還能騎在與他們不兩立的敵人肩上一同擄掠別人。正好像聰明的水手能利用大風的推動來前進一樣;所以在我們屬靈的生命中許多不利的逆境,因著那加給我們恩典和力量的,都是使我們進入更深、更完全的機會。我們巴不得能和保羅一樣說:「我所遭遇的事,更是叫福音興旺。」(腓一12) ─譯自更豐盛的生命 「感謝神,常率領我們在基督裡誇勝,並藉著我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。」(林後二14)

January 13 "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Romans 8:37.) THIS is more than victory. This is a triumph so complete that we have not only escaped defeat and destruction, but we have destroyed our enemies and won a spoil so rich and valuable that we can thank God that the battle ever came. How can we be "more than conquerors"? We can get out of the conflict a spiritual discipline that will greatly strengthen our faith and establish our spiritual character. Temptation is necessary to settle and confirm us in the spiritual life. It is like the fire which bruns in the colors of mineral painting, or like winds that cause the mighty cedars of the mountain to strike more deeply into the soil. Our spiritual conflicts are amoung our choicest blessings, and our great adversary is used to train us for his ultimate defeat. The ancient Phrygians lad a legend that every time they conquered an enemy the victor absorbed the physical strength of his victim and added so much more to his own strength and valor. So temptation victoriously met doubles our spiritual strength and equipment. It is possible thus not only to defeat our enemy, but to capture him and make him fight in our ranks. The prophet Isaiah speaks of flying on the shoulders of the Philistines (Isa. 11:14). These Philistines were their deadly foes, but the figure suggested that they would be enabled not only to conquer the Philistines, but to use them to carry the victors on their shoulders for further triumphs. Just as the wise sailor can use a head wind to carry him forward by tacking and taking advantage of its impelling force; so it is possible for us in our spiritual life through the victorious grace of God to turn to account the things that seem most unfriendly and unfavorable, and to be able to say continually, "The things that were against me have happened to the furtherance of the Gospel." ─Life More Abundantly. "Now thanks be unto God Who always leads us forth to triumph with the Anointed one, and Who diffuses by us the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place." (2 Cor. 2:14, literal translation.)

一月十三日 基督對我們的愛 「我愛你們,正如父愛我一樣;你們要常在我的愛裡。」約翰福音十五章9節 所有親戚朋友之間的交往,完全是根據他們中間彼此的友愛。夫婦或父子之間,若是缺少了愛,就是富有貲財,又有甚麼價值呢?照樣在我們信主的人中,若是不認識基督的愛,也沒有經歷過基督的愛,就是一切的知識都全備,並且熱心於神的工作,又有甚麼價值呢?(林前八1—3)哦!基督徒啊!在內室中有一件事是最重要的,就是藉著經歷來認識基督是何等的愛你,並且也學習如何能繼續住在這一個愛裡。 請想一想基督所說的話:「正如父愛我。」——這是一個何等神聖永遠而奇妙的愛!「我也照樣愛你們。」祂愛父的那個愛,和祂心中常存著,如今又放在門徒心中的那個愛,原是同一的愛。祂渴望將這永遠的愛加給我們,叫這個愛在我們裡面作工,好使我們能天天住在這個愛裡。哦,這是何等有福的生活!基督深願祂的每一個門徒都能活在神愛的能力裡。這個愛乃是祂親身所經歷過的。親愛的弟兄們!當你在公開的場合,或隱密的所在,與基督交通的時候,你是否覺得是被這一個屬天的愛所圍繞,並且蒙它所保守呢?但願你有一顆心渴慕接觸這一個永遠的愛。這一位你所巴望與祂交通的基督,是無法形容的渴望著把祂的愛充滿在你裡面。 請時常誦讀神話語中,所說關於基督的愛。請默想這些話,並讓這些話種在你的心坎裡,遲早你就能認識,在生命中最大的喜樂,就是被這一位主耶穌所愛。我們可以整天活在祂的交通裡。 讓你的心一直地說,祂對我的愛是無法形容的,祂要保守我住在祂的愛裡。

一月十三日 你們曾與神有內室的交通麼? 「無人的時候,……,和十二個門徒,問祂這比喻的意思。」馬可福音四章10節 祂與我們單獨同在。當神以磨難、痛心、試探、失望、疾病、失戀、新交或友誼破裂種種方式,促成我們與祂單獨同在的時候──當祂與我們絕對獨處,而我們啞口無言,一個問題也不能問的時候,祂才開始講解。留意耶穌基督訓練那十二個門徒。感覺困惑的是門徒,倒不是外面的群眾。他們不斷地問祂許多問題,而祂不斷地給他們講解。但是,直到他們接受聖靈以後,他們才心領神會(參約十四26)。 如果你們與神繼續往來,有一件事是要明瞭的,神也僅僅要你們明瞭這件事,就是對付你們靈性的方法。你兄弟的愁苦和困難,對你是一種絕對不能明瞭的事。等到神給與我們足量的痛心,我們才能想像,才能理會。在我們每個人裡面有許多頑強和無知的區域,被聖靈揭示出來了,這只有耶穌與我們單獨同在的時候,才能成功。我們現在與祂單獨同在嗎?抑或我們為混亂的意念,為神工作中混亂的心志,為自身混亂的觀念所播弄呢?不到我們撇開了心中一切的問題,而與耶穌單獨同在的時候,耶穌就不能向我們解說甚麼。

一月十三日 「他要以你當作神。」出埃及記四章16節 這是神對摩西的應許,神也要摩西在他哥哥亞倫面前有這麼高貴的性格。這不是提議,我們必須藉著崇高、榮耀的地位對著我們所遇見的人做神的代表。 在我們的生命中,代表神是何等神聖、光榮的事。但是我們能一致地接受這個呼召嗎?若能,我們在待人的行為上必定有很大的改變。神是值得依靠、信賴的。祂的話語永不改變,所以我們可以毫不保留地相信祂。願我們活出神的樣式來,好叫人信任我們,像他們信靠神一樣。 由於神沒有任何需要,祂總是不斷地付出,並且「厚待一切求告祂的人」(羅十),祂性格的偉大在於愛──大公無私的愛、善待一切受造物的愛。神的生命是忘我的生命;祂除了愛護、祝福萬物,真是別無他求。 當主在神的寶座為我們代求時,讓我們好好地活,在地上作主的好門徒。
