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.

三月二日 「明日早晨，你要預備好了，上……山，在山頂上站在我面前，誰也不可和你一同上去。」出埃及記卅四章2—3節 在基督人的生命中，晨更是非常重要的。每天早晨我們必須先見神的面，然後再見人和世界。 如果一天的開始是憑我們自己的力量，我們就不能盼望得勝。在每天開始工作之前，必須在讀經中，禱告中，或靜默中，先和神有交通。切勿先見別人，甚至自己的家人，直等到我們先接見了我們生命中至大至尊的貴客耶穌基督。 單獨去見祂。天天按時去見祂。帶著聖經去見祂；把我們一天中要作的事都帶到祂面前去，我們就會得到意想不到的力量和指示。 一天開始， 先與神見面， 祂是你的光明， 你的太陽！ 祂是破除黑暗的曙光； 獻上你的祈禱， 讓祂度量。 清晨起來唱一首新歌； 與山林一同喜悅相和唱， 與清新空氣， 海洋和原野， 與那明媚的花朵一同歌唱。 將你第一首歌獻給王， 不是唱給凡人去聽聞， 不是唱給任何被造物， 只是唱給獨一榮耀之真神。 先和神去作一次同行， 好讓神在你前面引導， 在河邊， 在海灘， 在山徑， 全由神來作你的護行。 在天上的父， 作你今天第一位主顧； 你的事業必然興旺， 整天都在神的慈愛中。 ─龐納 許多為神作大事業的信徒，都是一早就跪在神面前的。 亨利馬太（Henry Matthew）每天早晨四點鐘就在他的書房裏讀經、禱告了；到八點鐘出來用早餐。早餐後，舉行家庭晨禱；完畢後，又到密室中去和神親近，直到午時午餐後，他又回到書房裏去讀屬靈的書籍，或寫作，直到四點鐘；其餘的時間，去探望朋友。 ─選

March 2 "Be ready in the morning, and come up...present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. And no man shall come up with thee." (Exod. 34:2, 3.) ＴHE morning watch is essential. You must not face the day until you have faced God, nor look into the face of others until you have looked into His. You cannot expect to be victorious, if the day begins only in your own strength. Face the work of every day with the influence of a few thoughtful, quiet moments with your heart and God. Do not meet other people, even those of your own home, until you have first met the great Guest and honored Companion of your life─Jesus Christ. Meet Him alone. Meet Him regularly. Meet Him with His open Book of counsel before you; and face the regular and the irregular duties of each day with the influence of His personality definitely controlling your every act. Begin the day with God! He is thy Sun and Day! His is the radiance of thy dawn; To Him address thy lay. Sing a new song at morn! Join the glad woods and hills; Join the fresh winds and seas and plains, Join the bright flowers and rills. Sing thy first song to God! Not to thy fellow men; Not to the creatures of His hand, But to the glorious One. Take thy first walk with God! Let Him go forth with thee; By stream, or sea, or mountain path, Seek still His company. Thy first transaction be With God Himself above; So shall thy business prosper well And all the day be love. ─Horatius Bonar. The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early upon their knees. Matthew Henry used to be in his study at four, and remain there till eight; then, after breakfast and family prayer, he used to be there again till noon; after dinner, he resumed his book or pen till four, and spent the rest of the day in visiting his friends.

三月二日 眼睛的開啟 「以利沙禱告說：耶和華啊！求您開這少年人的眼目，使他能看見。——以利沙說：耶和華啊！求您開這些人的眼目，使他們能看見。」列王紀下六章17、20節 何等奇妙！神垂聽了以利沙為他僕人的禱告，使這個少年人看見了滿山的火車火馬圍繞以利沙。神差遣天軍保護祂的僕人。以利沙再次禱告神。敘利亞的軍隊被神擊打而眼目昏迷，他們被領進撒瑪利亞。進了城後以利沙再禱告神開他們的眼睛。不料，他們發現自己竟是無助的囚奴落在他們敵人的手中。 我們盼望在屬靈境界中如此禱告。首先，求神開我們的眼睛，使我們看見神為著祂的教會奇妙的預備，祂用聖靈與火為我們施洗。一切屬天境界的能力，都由我們自由運用於天國的服事方面。神兒女對於這個屬天的異象，信心是何等小——聖靈的能力在神兒女身上與他們同在，且在他們裡面，為著他們的屬靈生活，作為他們的能力，得以歡樂地見證他們的主和祂的工作。 我們也需要以利沙的第二個禱告，求神開祂兒女們的眼睛，就是那些至今還不認識世界與罪的權勢在他們身上有地位的人。他們至今尚不覺察軟弱成了教會的特徵，並使教會沒有能力為基督搶救靈魂，不能建立聖徒，使他們過著聖潔結果子的生活。讓我們特別求神開所有人的眼睛，使我們看見教會最大、最基本的需要是甚麼，藉著代禱帶下祂的祝福，使人一直都知道聖靈的能力是帶著神聖的功效與祝福。 禱告： 我們在天上的父，您是極其樂意將聖靈的能力賞賜給我們，求您垂聽我們卑微的禱告。求您開我們的眼睛，使我們真看見的教會及您子民的光景是何其低落；也讓我們看見您所樂意要賜的恩典及能力是何等寶貴。您樂意垂聽教會在您面前同心合意的迫切禱告，而將這一切賜下。阿們。

三月二日 你覺得主的刺激麼？ 「耶穌第三次對他說，你愛我麼？」約翰福音廿一章17節 你覺得主的刺激到了你真情所在的部位麼？惡魔未曾刺到那裡，罪孽和人類的情愛也都沒有刺到那裡，除了神的道沒有任何事物刺到那地方。「彼得因為耶穌第三次對他說，就憂愁……」他醒悟過來，用他最深的心靈歸於耶穌，於是他開始明白這一問再問的意義。在彼得心裡，沒有迷惑的線索存在，此後，他再也不會被迷惑了。他不興奮，不動情，因為這種問語是彼得愛主的程度的一種顯示。所以他帶著驚奇的說：「主啊，您是無所不知的。」彼得開始明白他是怎樣的愛耶穌，但他並未說：「這可以證實，那可以證實。」彼得開始發覺自己是怎樣的愛主，除了耶穌基督以外，無論天上地下沒有可以比擬的；但是主的探刺的問語不來到，他是不能知道他愛主的深淺的。主的問語是能叫我發覺我自己的。 耶穌基督對付彼得的是何等耐心與機敏啊！不到時機成熟，我們的主是不問甚麼問語的。恐怕祂也有一次用不變的問話來刺激我們，叫我們認知我們愛祂的心，是言語所難形容的。

三月二日 「從前所交託你的善道，你要靠著那住在我們裡面的聖靈，牢牢地守著。」提摩太后書一章14節 神給我們的能力，使我們藉著能力持守我們的心，戰勝世界、成為聖潔。祂不僅交託我們善道，並且賜聖靈住在我們裡面。當我們心中有任何邪念或是壞點子時，我們的心可以很快地請聖靈將邪念驅逐出去。而聖靈就會按著我們信心的禱告使邪念離開，並且照我們所願地保守我們成為聖潔。 但是如果我們意志薄弱，與邪惡苟同，那麼聖靈就不會驅逐我們心中的惡念。然而，我們的神要求我們堅守聖潔，只要我們牢牢的守著善道，祂就會大大、豐富地祝福我們。祂也會成為我們靈裡的儆醒，指引我們避開邪惡，給我們能力察覺邪惡的存在，帶到神面前，讓祂趕走、毀壞邪念。 聖靈啊！求您充滿我們，直到我們心中只有您， 願您如火一般來到我們心中，察驗我們。 願您如水一般來到我們生命裡，洗盡我們的罪。 使我們因行您聖潔的旨意而終老一生， 直到我們完全地充滿神的豐富。
