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.

二月四日 「耶和華要使你乘駕地的高處。」以賽亞書五八章14節 熟習航空的人告訴我們:他們初習的時候,常是逆風駕駛。逆風會把飛機抬得高些。這個祕訣,他們是從甚麼地方學來的呢?他們從鳥類那裏學來的。如果一隻鳥兒正飛著玩,牠就隨風而飛。如果遇見了危險,牠就立刻轉過身來,面向風飛;這樣,牠可以飛得高些。 人生的逆境,是神給你的逆風,它們能抬你到最高級的一屬天的生活去。這就是「耶和華要使你乘駕地的高處」的方法。讓我們作一個帶響弦的風箏,在神的風中越飄越高,同時發出最好聽的音樂——讚美——來以悅神耳。 你有沒有經歷過:夏日空氣熱悶的時候,有時竟連氣也會透不過來。但在西方的天邊,出現了一朵雲,接踵而至。暴風雨掩蓋了這世界給這世界帶來了無窮的舒適,空氣也澄清了,氣象為之一新,世界是改觀了。 人生也完全一樣的道理。當暴風雨來臨的時候,環境可能起了惡劣的變化,但它能發生澄清的作用,充滿了新的氣象,好像天堂的一角也被帶到地上來了。 ─選 障礙應該使我們歡唱。風之能發生曼妙的聲響,並不在海洋上暢行無阻的時候,而是在艱難地吹過層層枝葉交織的松樹林間,或是吹到「愛奧良」琴的弦上,起了阻抗作用的時候。在上面這些場合,風才發出有力和美麗的音韻。釋放你的靈魂,讓它橫掃生命的障礙,穿過痛苦的可佈森林,小至微細的磨折和煩惱,那麼你的靈魂,也會唱出它的歌聲了。 ─選 像一隻停飛的小鳥, 棲息在細細的樹梢, 歌唱時抖抖下垂, 我有翅膀,不必煩惱。

February 4 "I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth." (Isa. 58:14.) THOSE who fly through the air in airships tell us that one of the first rules they learn is to turn their ship toward the wind, and fly against it. The wind lifts the ship up to higher heights. Where did they learn that? They learned it from the birds. If a bird is flying for pleasure, it goes with the wind. But if the bird meets danger, it turns right around and faces the wind, in order that it may rise higher; and it flies away towards the very sun. Sufferings are God's winds, His contrary winds, sometimes His strong winds. They are God's hurricanes, but, they take human life and lift it to higher levels and toward God's heavens. You have seen in the summer time a day when the atmosphere was so oppressive that you could hardly breathe? But a cloud appeared on the western horizon and that cloud grew larger and threw out rich blessing for the world. The storm rose, lightning flashed and thunder pealed. The storm covered the world, and the atmosphere was cleansed; new life was in the air, and the world was changed. Human life is worked out according to exactly the same principle. When the storm breaks the atmosphere is changed, clarified, filled with new life; and a part of heaven is brought down to earth. ─Selected. Obstacles ought to set us singing. The wind finds voice, not when rushing across the open sea, but when hindered by the outstretched arms of the pine trees, or broken by the fine strings of an Aeolian harp. Then it has songs of power and beauty. Set your freed soul sweeping across the obstacles of life, through grim forests of pain, against even the tiny hindrances and frets that love uses, and it, too, will find its singing voice. ─Selected. "Be like a bird that, halting in its flight, Rests on a bough too slight. And feeling it give way beneath him sings, Knowing he hath wings."

二月四日 愛慕神 「夜間,我心中羨慕您。」以賽亞書廿六章9節 甚麼人是人在地上所能看見、能尋得、最重要、最偉大、最榮耀的東西呢?只有神自己。甚麼是人每天所需要而能作到的,又最重要、最美好、最榮耀的事呢?除了尋求、認識、愛慕,並讚美這位榮耀的神之外,再也沒有別的了。神是那麼的榮耀,但那些將自己獻給神、為神而活、讓祂的榮耀在心裡工作,而成為他的生命的人,也是極其榮耀的。 弟兄們!你有沒有學習每天去作那第一的、最偉大的事呢?沒有一件事比尋求這位神,並學習碰見祂、敬拜祂,為祂和祂的榮耀而活著,是更偉大的。每一個基督徒,真的看見了這一個,當藉著交通降服跟從神,並且以神為他生活的主要目的,在那時候,也就是他在基督徒生命的道路上更長進了。 請花時間來尋求這究竟是不是一個真理,是不是一個最高的智慧,是基督徒應該為著神而活的。─在生活中對神有正確的認識並用全心來愛祂。相信這不僅是非常的實在,而且神自己也極盼望,你能這樣與祂同活,祂願意答應你的禱告,使你能經歷這一個。 請自今天起從聖經中拿出一些話,用安靜的心,來對神說:「神阿,您是我的神,我要切切地尋求您,我渴想您;我的心切慕您。我要緊緊跟隨您。」(詩六十三1)「我一心尋您。」(詩一一2) 以極深的崇敬和像小孩一樣的盼望,重複這些話,直到這些話的精意和能力,進入你的心;並且等候神,直到你嘗著了與祂這樣相交的福份。當你這樣保持下去的時候,你就要學習存敬畏的心活在神面前,並盼望整天都繼續在這種情形裡。 「我曾耐性等候耶和華,他垂聽我的呼求。」(詩四十1)

二月四日 人格支配力量的尊嚴 「原來基督的愛激勵我們。」哥林多後書五章14節 保羅說,他被基督的愛操縱著,箝制著,好像被箝在老虎箝裡一般。我們中沒有多的人知道被神的愛握住;都是被我們的經驗握住了。有一件事握住了保羅,直到他的眼界見不著別的東西,那就是神的愛。「基督的愛激勵我們」──當你聽見某男某女心中有這樣的音調,你絕不能錯認的,你準知道神的靈在那人裡面是進行裕如,毫無阻窒的。 當我們重生於神的靈,神就在我們裡面作見證,那見證的音調,理當是這樣。但是聖靈的洗禮,卻能永遠把這忘卻了,而我們會開始覺得耶穌說「你們可以給我作見證。」這句話的意思,不是見證耶穌所作的──那是一種初步的見證──卻是「給我作見證。」我們給祂作見證,就是把一切發生在我們身上的事情,當作發生在祂的身上。無論是稱讚或譴責,是逼迫,或欽仰,沒有人像這樣替耶穌基督忍受這些事,除非他受過耶穌基督人格的激勵。這是該當留意的,也是基督徒工人最難明白的。保羅說他被基督的愛握住;那是因為他行其所行的緣故。無論人批評他放蕩或拘謹,他卻不介意;他只為一件事活著,那就是勸人注意神的審判和基督的愛。像這樣徜徉於基督的愛中是生活成功的祕訣,將永留神的權能和聖潔的印象,不計自身的聖潔與否。

二月四日 「我就常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。」馬太福音廿八章20節 主基督不是仍然釘在十字架上的主,祂乃是我們又真又活的神。 有一天,在派斯頓潘靠近愛丁堡的地方,我舉目往這曾為戰場的地方看了很久。有一回當戰事正危險之即,一方的首領因受傷而倒了下來。當他的部下看到他不支倒地,他們幾乎立刻夾腿逃離戰場。他們握著手榴彈的手雖然強壯,但卻不停地抖,突然之間,他們竟寸步難行。還好這個年老的首領強打精神,用他的手肘把自己撐起來說:「我沒死,我的孩子們,我在觀看我的同胞盡他們的責任。」 同樣情況,我們的救主在復活之後,也這麼對我們說。儘管我們無法看到祂,但是祂曾說:「我就常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。」注意,祂用「常」這個字來強調祂的同在,是不斷且恆常的。祂沒有用「將會與你們同在」,卻保證我們與祂的同在是繼續、永恆的。 不多時,我們將勝過一切衝突; 不多時,我們將贏得所有戰鬥; 然後,我們要揮舞我們勝利的雙手, 高唱不朽的詩歌, 我們歡樂之歌的歌詞將是── 靠著您,我已戰勝了一切。

隨機小語智慧是什麼?
有一隻老虎,看見曾打敗過自己的水牛,被人吆喝著耕地,便去問牛為什麼怕農夫,牛說:「因為人有智慧」。 老虎向農夫要求看看他的智慧。農夫說他把智慧放在家裡,可以去拿,但要先把老虎捆起來,免得他走了以後老虎把牛吃掉,老虎聽了覺得有道理,老虎聽從農夫的話。 農夫回村叫了村民來,把老虎裝鐵籠裡,農夫就對老虎說:「這就是智慧」。 國英台羅馬注音聖經新增台語羅馬字典教會MIDI卡拉OK新增教會MIDI卡拉OK流量最多的歌教會MIDI卡拉OK新修改會員登入 |
