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.

一月廿八日 「我為你們起的憤恨，原是神那樣的憤恨。」哥林多後書十一章2節（衛莫司譯本） 一個善奏古琴的琴師，何等寵愛他的古琴呢！他把它懷抱在胸中，撫它、親它、偎它！他和它相依為命。可是，你看他怎樣調整弦音。他把它緊緊握住，用力地在弦上撥一下；弦立刻震顫，好似驚痛之下的戰慄；他側耳細聽，覺得弦音粗浮，還未準確。於是他把弦絞緊；彈撥再三，直等到它能發出柔和準確的聲音來。他臉上纔露出笑容，點頭滿意。 親愛的，其實神也是如此對待你。祂愛你遠勝琴師愛琴，祂發你的聲音不和諧。祂把你緊緊抓住，用力撥你的心弦；祂側耳細聽，豈知你所發的聲音仍是咒詛和怨言；祂只得絞緊你的心弦，再撥，再彈，直等你的聲音是讚美、感謝，和「不要成就我的意思，只要成就您的意思。」（路廿二40）——神所最喜聽的音樂。 ─選 豎琴有許多琴弦， 在愛的旋律中震顫， 一一和諧合拍， 流露出蘊蓄的甜美。 忽有一二弦驀地斷裂崩弛， 破壞了緊湊， 就如不起的波瀾的一泓死水。 愛的狂喜和傷痛相連， 取得王冠的手， 必曾受過許多苦難和酸痛； 未曾爭鬥的人， 不會有得勝者的榮譽， 經過了辛苦， 才能領略休息和平靜的美夢。 阿爾卑斯山的遊客， 唯有在兩場風雨之間， 才能欣賞天空的明淨和霞光的奇觀， 如果夏季永遠碧空無雲， 也會有十丈紅塵飛揚迷漫。 悲哀與快樂， 誰也不能作分別的選擇， 雨者， 必須都有體念， 否則懵懂恍惚， 無所知悉， 沒有非常的痛苦， 就沒有非常的福祉， 對苦痛麻木的心靈， 對福祉也不會敏感。

January 28 "I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy." (2Cor. 11:2.)(Weymouth.) ＨOW an old harper dotes on his harp! How he fondles and caresses it, as a child resting on his bosom! His life is bound up in it. But, see him tuning it. He grasps it firmly, strikes a chord with a sharp, quick blow; and while it quivers as if in pain, he leans over intently to catch the first note that rises. The note, as he feared, is false and harsh. He strains the chord with the torturing thumb-screw; and though it seems ready to snap with the tension, he strikes it again, bending down to listen softly as before, till at length you see a smile on his face as the first true tone trembles upward. So it may be that God is dealing with you. Loving you better than any harper loves his harp, He finds you a mass of jarring discords. He wrings your heartstrings with some torturing anguish; He bends over you tenderly, striking and listening; and, hearing only a harsh murmur, strikes you again, while His heart bleeds for you, anxiously waiting for that strain－"Not my will, but thine be done"─which is melody sweet to His ear as angels' songs. Nor will He cease to strike until your chastened soul shall blend with all the pure and infinite harmonies of His own being. ─Selected. "Oh, the sweetness that dwells in a harp of many strings, While each, all vocal with love in a tuneful harmony rings! But, oh, the wail and the discord, when one and another is rent, Tensionless, broken and lost, from the cherished instrument. "For rapture of love is linked with the pain or fear of loss, And the hand that takes the crown, must ache with many a cross; Yet he who hath never a conflict, hath never a victor's palm, And only the toilers know the sweetness of rest and calm, "Only between the storms can the Alpine traveller know Transcendent glory of clearness, marvels of gleam and glow; Had he the brightness unbroken of cloudless summer days, This had been dimmed by the dust and the veil of a brooding haze. "Who would dare the choice, neither or both to know, The finest quiver of joy or the agony thrill of woe! Never the exquisite pain, then never the exquisite bliss, For the heart that is dull to that can never be striung to this."

一月廿八日 全心 「我全心尋求了您。」詩篇一一九篇10節原文 請注意詩人在這裡頻頻提起全心這兩個字。「全心尋求祂的。」（2節）「我便遵守您的律法，且要全心遵守。」（34節）「我卻要全心守您的訓詞。」（69節）「我全心呼籲您。」（145節）無論是為著尋求神，為著遵守祂的律法，或為著呼籲祂的幫助，每次都要用全心。 我們如果要把屬世的事作得成功，我們就把我們的全心都放在裡面。在事奉這位聖潔之神的事上，我們豈不更需要擺上全心麼？難道祂不配麼？祂至高的聖潔以及我們心中厭棄神的天性，豈不更要求我們該擺上全心麼？當我們在隱密處敬拜祂的時候，我們需要用全心來事奉祂。 但是有大多數的基督徒，根本沒有想到這一點！他們在禱告的時候，在讀神話語的時候，在努力遵行祂旨意的時候，從不記得需要一直說這一句話：「我們全心尋求您。」是的，當我們禱告的時候，當我們想要明白神話語的時候，當我們要遵行祂旨意的時候，但願我們能說：「我渴慕用全心來尋求神，來事奉神，並討祂的喜悅。」 「我全心尋求了您。」親愛的讀者啊！請把這句話放在你的心裡，把它思想過、禱告過。你要在神面前，把它說出來，直等到你感覺你真的知道你所說的是甚麼，並且確實相信神要聽你的禱告。每天早晨，當你進到神面前去禱告的時候，都請說這句話：「我全心尋求您。」你會逐漸的覺得需要在聖潔的安靜裡等候神，這樣祂就要得著你整個的心，你也就要學習用你的全心和全力來愛祂。

一月廿八日 難相信一個人能這樣逼害耶穌 「掃羅，掃羅，為甚麼逼迫我？」使徒行傳廿六章14節 我替神決定我自己的道路麼？除非我們被領進聖靈和火洗的經驗裡面去，我們難得擺脫這種圈套。頑固和我見總是阻擋耶穌基督的，也許不傷害別人，卻傷害祂的靈。無論何時，我們固執己見，決定我們自己的雄圖，我們就損傷了耶穌。無論何時，我們要保持自己的權利，堅持我們所要作的事，我們就逼迫了耶穌。無論何時，我們要保持自己的尊嚴，我們就故意的使祂的靈憂傷了。當我們覺悟我們所逼迫的是耶穌，才有保羅在大馬色路上的覺悟迸出來。 我把神的道傳給人，我自己是否持守了這道呢？抑或我的生命與我所傳的道不一致呢？我也許教人成聖，自己反而表露撒但的精神，危逼耶穌基督的精神。耶穌的靈只感覺一件事──完全與父合一，祂說：「我心裡柔和謙卑，學我的樣式。」（太十一29）我一切所作的，應該建立在與祂完全合一的上面，不在自己決定如何敬虔的上面。這樣，或者我是易於受欺，易於受委屈，易於受人輕視；但是如果我因祂的緣故忍受這一切，耶穌基督之受逼便停止了。

一月廿八日 「這些事我已經對你們說了，是要叫我的喜樂存在你們心裡，並叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。」約翰福音十五章11節 有一種喜樂乃是油然從心中發出的，並不需要任何外在或甚至合理的原因。這種喜樂宛如一口深水井，自然流露、完全不能自已。因為這樣的喜樂是神的榮耀，是因基督的心，更因主叫祂的喜樂存在我們心裡，並叫我們的喜樂可以滿足。 這樣的喜樂是人不能挪去的，因為有喜樂泉源的人，不會被環境左右、顯得失望；相反的，這些人經常因有毫無原因、但深且甘甜的喜樂，而覺得驚訝。這種喜樂往往在環境最艱難、在人最容易覺得痛苦和沮喪時，顯得更加豐富。這情景就像我們心中有隻夜鶯，在夜間時嘹亮地歌唱。 這種榮耀不朽的喜樂，不僅是屬天的，而且已經成為永恆的歌聲。主啊！在任何情況之下，您都賜給我們喜樂，讓我們心中的祝福滿溢、使我們成為他人的祝福。
