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.

三月十二日 「那一晝一夜,耶和華使東風颳在埃及地上,到了早晨,東風把蝗蟲颳了來。……於是法老急忙召了摩西、亞倫來,耶和華轉了極大的西風,把蝗蟲颳起,吹入紅海,在埃及的四境連一個也沒有留下。」出埃及記十章13、16、19節 我們看神怎樣利用暴風拯救以色列人脫離殘酷的法老;還有神在表顯祂最大的神權時─神最後一次對付埃及的軍隊─也利用大東風(十四章21節)。當時以色列人都以為他們的處境太危急,太殘酷了─—前面是紅海,後面是追兵,兩旁都是高聳的山巖,斷絕了一切逃生的希望。以色列人在這時候只能彀仰望耶和華的拯救了。可是祂的拯救是大東風。這真出他們意外。可怕的風加增他們的驚慌,四周的寒冷凍得他們戰慄。他們怨神的拯救無非催逼他們死得快一點。恐怕那時他們全營的呼聲是:「我們死啦!埃及人追及我們了。」 正在絕望的時候,榮耀的勝利來了。吼聲可怕的東風把浪擊退,把海吹乾,以色列人向前走去,進入神的保護和慈愛中。兩旁是水晶的牆,前面是耶和華的榮光。終夜都是這樣;到了天一亮,最後一個以色列人也上了岸,大東風的使命便完成了。 於是以色列人向耶和華唱歌說:「成就他命的狂風……都當讚美耶和華。」(詩一四八8、12) 「仇敵說我要追趕,我要追上,我要分擄物…您叫風一吹,海就把他們淹沒,他們如鉛沉在大水之中。」(出十五9、10) 到有一天,我們要站在玻璃海上,拿著神的琴;與眾聖徒一同唱神僕人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌說:「眾聖之王阿,您的方法義哉,誠哉」(啟十五3,直譯) 如今你只覺得這大風暴的不可思議;將來你必看見威脅你的敵人,在戰慄恐怖的夜裏,殲滅淨盡。 如今你只注意到損失;將來你必見到祂為何打擊那已開始桎梧你的罪惡。 如今你因風嘯雷鳴而畏縮;將來你必知道祂如何擊退那滅絕生命的洪水,為你們開闢道路,通往那應許的福地。 ─皮爾斯 風雖猖狂奔放, 我的信心仍在歌唱。 我知道這不會傷害我, 神附在它的翅膀之上

March 12 "The Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts....Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste....And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt." (Exod. 10:13, 19.) SEE how in the olden times, when the Lord fought for Israel against the cruel Pharaoh, the stormy winds wrought out their deliverance; and yet again, in that grandest display of power─the last blow that God struck at the proud defiance of Egypt. A strange, almost cruel thing it must have seemed to Israel to be hemmed in by such a host of dangers─in front the wild sea defying them, on either hand the rocky heights cutting off all hope of escape, the night of hurricane gathering over them. It was as if that first deliverance had come only to hand them over to more certain death. Completing the terror there rang out the cry: "The Egyptians are upon us!" When it seemed they were trapped for the foe, then came the glorious triumph. Forth swept the stormy wind and beat back the waves, and the hosts of Israel marched forward, down into the path of the great deep─a way arched over with God's protecting love. On either hand were the crystal walls glowing in the light of the glory of the Lord; and high above them swept the thunder of the storm. So on through all that night; and when, at dawn of the next day, the last of Israel's host set foot upon the other shore, the work of the stormy wind was done. Then sang Israel unto the Lord the song of the "stormy wind fulfilling his word." "The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil....Thou didst blow with the wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters." One day, by God's great mercy, we, too, shall stand upon the sea of glass, having the harps of God. then we shall sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints." We shall know then how the stormy winds have wrought out our deliverance. Now you see only the mystery of this great sorrow; then you shall see how the threatening enemy was swept away in the wild night of fear and grief. Now you look only at the loss; then you shall see how it struck at the evil that had begun to rivet its fetters upon you. Now you shrink from the howling winds and muttering thunders; then you shall see how they beat back the waters of destruction, and opened up your way to the goodly land of promise. ─Mark Guy Pearse. "Though winds are wild, And the gale unleashed, My trusting heart still sings: I know that they mean No harm to me, He rideth on their wings."

三月十二日 神的旨意和我們的意念 「願您的旨意成全。」馬太福音廿六章42節 神的最大特權乃是天上地上一切事物,都將照祂的旨意成全。當神按著祂自己的形像造人時,首要地,神要使祂所造的人與祂有完全同一的願望。能與神相似乃人最大的榮耀——思想意念都與神相同。人成了神在肉體的具體顯出,並使神的願望能以成就。 當神造人時,給人意志並能來揀選他所該作的,祂將自己限制於祂的旨意中。當人墮落之後,落到神仇敵的掌握中;神無限的愛又開始一件偉大的工作,要將人從仇敵手中奪回來,成就祂自己的旨意。意念在神的裡面,也在人裡面,成了一個推動的力量。正如人落在追求屬世事物的慾望生活中,神必須救贖他、教育他,使他能過著與神相合的生活,神的目的乃是要人心中的意念與祂的意念完全相合。 神在這方面的最大救法,乃是差遣祂的兒子到世上來,在祂的人性裡面再一次顯出神的性情、神一切的旨意。祂在禱告中甘願獻上自己,來成全神一切的旨意,在肉身中的神子在極大痛苦中禱告:「願您的意旨成全。」祂甚至於在被神離棄時仍順服到底,如此才能使一直欺騙著人的權勢被征服,使人得蒙拯救。由於父與子之間這種奇妙完全的和諧,當神的兒子禱告「願父的旨意成就」時,神偉大的救贖才得完成。 如今正是特別蒙拯救的日子,信徒必須首先為自己,然後為別人代禱時向神說:「願您的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。」當我們這樣為教會——包括神家中所有的牧師、傳道人、剛強的及得救的信徒——為著那未蒙恩的,不論是掛名的基督徒或是異教徒呼籲的時候,我們有特權知道我們乃是為著神的旨意禱告,並且藉著禱告使神的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。

三月十二日 撇下所有的 「彼得就對祂說,看哪!我們已經撇下所有的跟從您了。」馬可福音十章28節 總而言之,我們的主所說的撇棄,是祂自己的撇棄,不是門徒有所為而為的撇棄。當心撇棄裡含有商業的氣味──「我委身於神,是因為我要脫離罪惡,因為要成聖。」這是我們與神有正式關係的結果,但是不一定是基督教根本的性質。撇棄是無所為而為的。我們已經是商業化了,來到神面前為的有所得,而不是為神。這好像說:「主啊!我所要的不是你,是我自己;我要自己潔淨,要充滿聖靈;要被放在你的陳列室中,使我得以說:「這是神為我所行的。」如果我們以一點點給神,換更多回來,在我們的撇棄裡就全無聖靈;這是卑陋自私的商業興趣。我們抓著了天,我們脫離了罪,我們生來有用於神──這些事在真正的撇棄裡不能有所考慮;因為撇棄是出於我們完全自願的去為耶穌基督。 當我們遇著實際關係的時候,把耶穌基督置於何地呢?我們多數是離棄祂──「是的,主啊!我聽見了您的呼召;但是我的母親妻子和我自己的利益阻擋了我,叫我不能再進一步了。」於是耶穌回答說:「你不配作我的門徒。」 撇棄的試驗是要超過愛人的頸項。走過吧!為神的撇棄必要補償你由撇棄所受的損失。當心我們對於神之半撇棄半不撇棄。僅僅知道在理想中撇棄,這是我們之中大多數人的毛病。

三月十二日 「他們在曠野荒地漂流……」詩篇一百零七篇4節 所有為神爭戰的人,都應該不再在乎人好聽的意見和諂媚的讚美。即使好聽的意見是從神的子民而來,我們也不能破例。因為那狡猾的惡者能很容易地使這樣的話語滿足我們肉體的驕傲。 雖然神能藉同工使我們肯定所做的,但是我們絕不能把得到認同視為行事的動機。因為這種動機是毒藥,會剝奪我們能力。我們應該歸榮耀給神的能力。但是有時我們必須以在曠野荒地單獨漂流為滿足。 屬神的人必須單獨地與神同行,他必須以瞭解神是無所不知的為滿足。雖然我們的老我能從他人的臉色、看法和同情得到慰藉。雖然、將別人的幫助視為是「弟兄的愛」來欺騙自己;但是事實上,靠人的同情不僅是屬地的,而且是不可靠的。
