1:1 先前滿有人民的城，現在何竟獨坐！先前在列國中為大的，現在竟如寡婦；先前在諸省中為王后的，現在成為進貢的。 How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the provinces has now become a slave.
1:2 她夜間痛哭，淚流滿；在一切所親愛的中間沒有一個安慰她的。她的朋友都以詭詐待她，成為她的仇敵。 Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is none to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies. 1:3 猶大因遭遇苦難，又因多服勞苦就遷到外邦。她住在列國中，尋不著安息；追逼她的都在狹窄之地將她追上。 After affliction and harsh labor, Judah has gone into exile. She dwells among the nations; she finds no resting place. All who pursue her have overtaken her in the midst of her distress. 1:4 錫安的路徑因無人來守聖節就悲傷；她的城門淒涼；她的祭司歎息；她的處女受艱難，自己也愁苦。 The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gateways are desolate, her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she is in bitter anguish. 1:5 她的敵人為首；她的仇敵亨通；因耶和華為她許多的罪過使她受苦；她的孩童被敵人擄去。 Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The LORD has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe. 1:6 錫安城〔原文是女子；下同〕的威榮全都失去。她的首領像找不著草場的鹿；在追趕的人前無力行走。 All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; in weakness they have fled before the pursuer. 1:7 耶路撒冷在困苦窘迫之時，就追想古時一切的樂境。她百姓落在敵人手中，無人救濟；敵人看見，就因她的荒涼嗤笑。 In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands, there was no one to help her. Her enemies looked at her and laughed at her destruction. 1:8 耶路撒冷大大犯罪，所以成為不潔之物；素來尊敬她的，見她赤露就都藐視她；她自己也歎息退後。 Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away. 1:9 她的污穢是在衣襟上；她不思想自己的結局，所以非常地敗落，無人安慰她。她說：耶和華啊，求你看我的苦難，因為仇敵誇大。 Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her. <<Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed.>> 1:10 敵人伸手，奪取她的美物；她眼見外邦人進入她的聖所─論這外邦人，你曾吩咐不可入你的會中。 The enemy laid hands on all her treasures; she saw pagan nations enter her sanctuary-- those you had forbidden to enter your assembly. 1:11 她的民都歎息，尋求食物；他們用美物換糧食，要救性命。他們說：耶和華啊，求你觀看，因為我甚是卑賤。 All her people groan as they search for bread; they barter their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. <<Look, O LORD, and consider, for I am despised.>> 1:12 你們一切過路的人哪，這事你們不介意嗎？你們要觀看：有像這臨到我的痛苦沒有─就是耶和華在他發烈怒的日子使我所受的苦？ <<Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see. Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me, that the LORD brought on me in the day of his fierce anger? 1:13 他從高天使火進入我的骨頭，剋制了我；他鋪下網羅，絆我的腳，使我轉回；他使我終日淒涼發昏。 <<From on high he sent fire, sent it down into my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long. 1:14 我罪過的軛是他手所綁的，猶如軛繩縛在我頸項上；他使我的力量衰敗。主將我交在我所不能敵擋的人手中。 <<My sins have been bound into a yoke; 1:14 Most Hebrew manuscripts; Septuagint ((He kept watch over my sins)) by his hands they were woven together. They have come upon my neck and the Lord has sapped my strength. He has handed me over to those I cannot withstand. 1:15 主輕棄我中間的一切勇士，招聚多人〔原文是大會〕攻擊我，要壓碎我的少年人。主將猶大居民踹下，像在酒醡中一樣。 <<The Lord has rejected all the warriors in my midst; he has summoned an army against me to 1:15 Or ((has set a time for me / when he will)) crush my young men. In his winepress the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah. 1:16 我因這些事哭泣；我眼淚汪汪；因為那當安慰我、救我性命的，離我甚遠。我的兒女孤苦，因為仇敵得了勝。 <<This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.>> 1:17 錫安舉手，無人安慰。耶和華論雅各已經出令，使四圍的人作他仇敵；耶路撒冷在他們中間像不潔之物。 Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed for Jacob that his neighbors become his foes; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them. 1:18 耶和華是公義的！他這樣待我，是因我違背他的命令。眾民哪，請聽我的話，看我的痛苦；我的處女和少年人都被擄去。 <<The LORD is righteous, yet I rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into exile. 1:19 我招呼我所親愛的，他們卻愚弄我。我的祭司和長老正尋求食物、救性命的時候，就在城中絕氣。 <<I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive. 1:20 耶和華啊，求你觀看，因為我在急難中。我心腸擾亂；我心在我裏面翻轉，因我大大悖逆。在外，刀劍使人喪子；在家，猶如死亡。 <<See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death. 1:21 聽見我歎息的有人；安慰我的卻無人！我的仇敵都聽見我所遭的患難；因你做這事，他們都喜樂。你必使你報告的日子來到，他們就像我一樣。 <<People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done. May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me. 1:22 願他們的惡行都呈在你面前；你怎樣因我的一切罪過待我，求你照樣待他們；因我歎息甚多，心中發昏。 <<Let all their wickedness come before you; deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my sins. My groans are many and my heart is faint.>> 2:0 This chapter is an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

二月廿六日 「我的恩典是彀你用的。」哥林多後書十二章9節（直譯） 有一天晚上，我整天工作之後，騎馬回家。路上我極感疲乏，差不多要馬上倒下來；忽然之間，一節聖經像閃電一般地照在我的心中：「我的恩典是夠你用的」到家之後，我就在聖經的原文中查考，發現它的語氣是：「我的恩典是夠你用的」；我就對主說：「主啊，我信，我信您的恩典是夠我用的；」此時裏面的喜樂爆發出來，成為歡笑。直到那晚，我纔知道不信神夠用的恩典是何等可笑，亦復可憐。這猶如海洋中一條口渴的小魚，不敢喝水，深怕把水喝乾了；雖然海洋對牠說：「小魚兒儘量喝罷！我的水是夠你喝的。」但是牠仍然不敢。這又好比七個豐年之後，倉廩中一隻小鼠，不敢喫食，深怕以後要餓死；雖然約瑟對牠說：「小鼠兒，儘量吃罷！我的穀粒是夠你喫的。」但是牠仍然不敢。這也像一個人，在高山上，對自己說：「我每年呼吸這許多空氣，我怕我會把空氣中的氧氣吸盡罷。」雖然大氣對他說：「可憐的人啊，儘量吸罷！我的氧氣是夠你呼吸的。」但是他仍不敢。哦，弟兄們，讓我們每一個都作信心的偉人！小信心會帶你的靈到天上去，大信心會帶天到你的靈裏來。 ─司布真 祂的恩典， 偉大得足夠應付大災難， 席捲靈魂的驚波險濤， 窒息生命的暴風怒潮， 不能控制的急雨狂焰。 祂的恩典， 偉大得也夠袪除小麻煩 急躁不寧， 如坐針氈， 疑慮榮心， 如蠅附羶， 憂戚如焚， 獨夜自煎。 ─富林德 神替我們在天上的銀行中存了無數量的款子，等待我們用信心任意支取，讓我們放膽前去支取罷。

February 26 "My grace is sufficient for thee." (2 Cor. 12:9.) ＴHE other evening I was riding home after a heavy day's work. I felt very wearied, and sore depressed, when swiftly, and suddenly as a lightning flash, that text came to me, "My grace is sufficient for thee." I reached home and looked it up in the original, and at last it came to me in this way, "MY grace is sufficient for thee"; and I said, "I should think it is, Lord," and burst out laughing. I never fully understood what the holy laughter of Abraham was until then. It seemed to make unbelief so absurd. It was as though some little fish, being very thirsty, was troubled about drinking the river dry, and Father Thames said, "Drink away, little fish, my stream is sufficient for thee." Or, it seemed after the seven years of plenty, a mouse feared it might die of famine; and Joseph might say, "Cheer up, little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for thee." Again, I imagined a man away up yonder, in a lofty mountain, saying to himself, "I breathe so many cubic feet of air every year, I fear I shall exhaust the oxygen in the atmosphere," but the earth might say, "Breathe away, O man, and fill the lungs ever, my atmosrhere is sufficient for thee." Oh, brethren, be great believers! Little faith will bring your souls to Heaven, but great faith will bring Heaven to your souls. ─C. H. Spurgeon. His grace is great enough to meet the great things─ The crashing waves that overwhelm the soul, The roaring winds that leave us stunned and breathless, The sudden storms beyond our life's control. His grace is great enough to meet the small things─ The little pin-prick troubles that annoy, The insect worries, buzzing and persistent, The squeaking wheels that grate upon our joy. ─Annie Johnson Flint. There is always a large balance to our credit in the bank of Heaven waiting for our exercise of faith in drawing it. Draw heavily upon His resources.

二月廿六日 詩篇 「您的言語在我上膛何等甘美，在我口中比蜜更甜。」詩篇一一九篇103節 本書是要幫助我們去敬拜神。在全部聖經六十六卷裡，詩篇似乎是特別為著這個目標而寫的；其他各卷，是偏於歷史、教訓或應用方面。但是詩篇能帶領我們進入至聖所，在那裡享受與神相交的福分，這是被聖靈感動寫出的一卷敬拜的書。 你若要每個早晨真的遇見神，並用心靈和誠實敬拜祂，你就需要讓你的心充滿了詩篇裡面神的話語。 你讀詩篇的時候，可將該經文中的「耶和華」「神」和一切代表神的字，如「我」「您」「祂」的旁邊劃以紅線。這樣，能幫助你將詩篇裡的意念和神連結，這位神就是禱告的對象。當你不畏難、不嫌麻煩地將關於神的不同名字都劃出來的時候，你就要看見，本來頗難領會的章節，現在都要發出亮光來了。這樣一劃，便使神成為你中心的思想，帶領你有新的敬拜。將這些話從你的嘴裡向神說出。你的信心就要重新得以堅固，並能體會神如何是你在各種環境中的幫助和力量。 這詩篇在舊約時代，如何為聖靈所用，教導神的子民去禱告；照樣，今天也藉著聖靈的能力，教導我們與神同在。 打開詩篇一一九篇碰著「耶和華」和「您」的時候，就劃出來。你就要驚奇地發現，這些字在每一節聖經裡，總要碰著一次！或者不止一次。讓我們思想：在詩篇的字句裡，所遇見的神，就是那賜給我們律法，並使我們能遵守的神。這樣，詩篇就要成為你所喜愛的，你也要發現這裡的禱告和教訓，能使你繼續向神而去，住在祂能力和慈愛的祝福裡面。 「我何等愛慕您的律法，終日不住地思想。」（詩一一九97）

二月廿六日 懷疑耶穌的理由不足 「先生沒有打水的器具。」約翰福音四章11節 「神的道雖是高深，但祂未必期望我在生活中一一行出來！」我們常以為耶穌基督和祂的教訓不比我們的見識高明──「你高超的理想，印象在我們心中，但是與現實的世界接觸，覺得不能見諸實行。」我們每個人有時是這樣想。這些對於耶穌的懷疑，起自擺在我們面前的那些奇怪的問題，就是我們討論神事工的時候所發生的問題──「你們從那裡得錢？你們的事情怎樣安排呢？」就是我們告訴耶穌，我們的情形也是祂難於解決的。「倚靠主，」固然容易，但是一個人要生活。耶穌沒有甚麼東西取水──「從何能給我們這些東西哩！」當心你這些自欺的話──「我不懷疑耶穌，只懷疑我自己。」我們之中，沒有人懷疑自己；我們十二分的知道我們所不能做的是甚麼，可是我們是懷疑耶穌了。祂能做我們所不能做的，這一句話，叫我們有點難受。 我所以懷疑是因為我以自己，去推測神。我的問題是從我劣性的深處發出來的。如果我在我裡面查出這些懷疑，就應該將它們顯露出來，也要坦白的承認──「主啊，我對於您有懷疑之處，我不相信您的智慧離得了我的智慧；我也不相信您的權能離得了我有限的理解。」

二月廿六日 「在各樣善事上，成全你們……。」希伯來書十三章21節 希伯來書結尾的禱告非常美：「但願賜平安的神，就是那憑永約之血，使群羊的大牧人──我主耶穌從死裡復活的神，在各樣善事上成全你們……。」(來十三20—21)「在各樣善事上，成全你們」的字意乃是「使你們能適應各樣善事」。 適應是一件大事，我們得適應周圍的環境及人事，而不能叫環境及人事因我們而改變。例如適應我們不得不相處的人；適應神所給我們的事工，而不是求神來幫助我們做我們的事；適應去實現神給我們一生的旨意及計劃。這其實是我們在屬靈的事上能得到安息、力量及自由的秘密。 主啊！願您以您的豐富充滿我， 直到我的心滿溢， 直到我能用如火般的情緒和生動的話語， 述說您的愛，表達對您的讚美。 主啊！求您用我，求您屢屢用我， 如您所願地，無論在何時或何處用我。 直到我看到您聖潔的臉， 與您同安息、同喜樂、同享榮耀。
