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. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改，2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能，2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可，顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用！！ 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉（01月13日）
一月十三日 「靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上，已經得勝有餘了。」羅馬書八章37節 得勝有餘！得勝有餘並不是僅僅得勝，乃是得勝到一個地步非但不輸，而且還攻陷敵陣，擄掠戰利品。我們如何可以「得勝有餘」呢？「得勝有餘」必須在一個受試煉、逼迫的處境中，方能得到。所有的試煉都是絕對必需的，試煉可以使我們的靈命堅固。這好比磁器上的畫，必須經過火燒，纔能永久存留；也像山嶺上的香柏木，必須經過疾風的搖動，纔會紮根更深。我們所遭遇的屬靈戰爭，實在是一種變相的祝福；我們的大仇敵撒但，原是被利用來訓練我們，為要我們得最後勝利的。相傳古時弗利家（Phrygia）民族，每次戰勝仇敵後，總把敵人的血吸盡，他們以為這樣可以把敵人的體力和膽量加進自己的身體中去。不錯，勝一次試煉，就是倍一次我們屬靈的力量。因此，以後我們不只能勝仇敵，而且還能擄掠他們，使他們站在我們的戰線上替我們爭戰。以賽亞說：「他們要向西飛，撲在非利士人的肩頭上；一同擄掠東方人，伸手按住以東和摩押；亞捫人也必順服他們。」（賽十一14）非利士人是他們的敵人，但是他們不只能戰勝非利士人，而且還能騎在與他們不兩立的敵人肩上一同擄掠別人。正好像聰明的水手能利用大風的推動來前進一樣；所以在我們屬靈的生命中許多不利的逆境，因著那加給我們恩典和力量的，都是使我們進入更深、更完全的機會。我們巴不得能和保羅一樣說：「我所遭遇的事，更是叫福音興旺。」（腓一12） ─譯自更豐盛的生命 「感謝神，常率領我們在基督裡誇勝，並藉著我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。」（林後二14）

January 13 "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Romans 8:37.) ＴHIS is more than victory. This is a triumph so complete that we have not only escaped defeat and destruction, but we have destroyed our enemies and won a spoil so rich and valuable that we can thank God that the battle ever came. How can we be "more than conquerors"? We can get out of the conflict a spiritual discipline that will greatly strengthen our faith and establish our spiritual character. Temptation is necessary to settle and confirm us in the spiritual life. It is like the fire which bruns in the colors of mineral painting, or like winds that cause the mighty cedars of the mountain to strike more deeply into the soil. Our spiritual conflicts are amoung our choicest blessings, and our great adversary is used to train us for his ultimate defeat. The ancient Phrygians lad a legend that every time they conquered an enemy the victor absorbed the physical strength of his victim and added so much more to his own strength and valor. So temptation victoriously met doubles our spiritual strength and equipment. It is possible thus not only to defeat our enemy, but to capture him and make him fight in our ranks. The prophet Isaiah speaks of flying on the shoulders of the Philistines (Isa. 11:14). These Philistines were their deadly foes, but the figure suggested that they would be enabled not only to conquer the Philistines, but to use them to carry the victors on their shoulders for further triumphs. Just as the wise sailor can use a head wind to carry him forward by tacking and taking advantage of its impelling force; so it is possible for us in our spiritual life through the victorious grace of God to turn to account the things that seem most unfriendly and unfavorable, and to be able to say continually, "The things that were against me have happened to the furtherance of the Gospel." ─Life More Abundantly. "Now thanks be unto God Who always leads us forth to triumph with the Anointed one, and Who diffuses by us the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place." (2 Cor. 2:14, literal translation.)
■ 永活之泉（01月13日）
一月十三日 基督對我們的愛 「我愛你們，正如父愛我一樣；你們要常在我的愛裡。」約翰福音十五章9節 所有親戚朋友之間的交往，完全是根據他們中間彼此的友愛。夫婦或父子之間，若是缺少了愛，就是富有貲財，又有甚麼價值呢？照樣在我們信主的人中，若是不認識基督的愛，也沒有經歷過基督的愛，就是一切的知識都全備，並且熱心於神的工作，又有甚麼價值呢？（林前八1—3）哦！基督徒啊！在內室中有一件事是最重要的，就是藉著經歷來認識基督是何等的愛你，並且也學習如何能繼續住在這一個愛裡。 請想一想基督所說的話：「正如父愛我。」——這是一個何等神聖永遠而奇妙的愛！「我也照樣愛你們。」祂愛父的那個愛，和祂心中常存著，如今又放在門徒心中的那個愛，原是同一的愛。祂渴望將這永遠的愛加給我們，叫這個愛在我們裡面作工，好使我們能天天住在這個愛裡。哦，這是何等有福的生活！基督深願祂的每一個門徒都能活在神愛的能力裡。這個愛乃是祂親身所經歷過的。親愛的弟兄們！當你在公開的場合，或隱密的所在，與基督交通的時候，你是否覺得是被這一個屬天的愛所圍繞，並且蒙它所保守呢？但願你有一顆心渴慕接觸這一個永遠的愛。這一位你所巴望與祂交通的基督，是無法形容的渴望著把祂的愛充滿在你裡面。 請時常誦讀神話語中，所說關於基督的愛。請默想這些話，並讓這些話種在你的心坎裡，遲早你就能認識，在生命中最大的喜樂，就是被這一位主耶穌所愛。我們可以整天活在祂的交通裡。 讓你的心一直地說，祂對我的愛是無法形容的，祂要保守我住在祂的愛裡。

一月十三日 你們曾與神有內室的交通麼？ 「無人的時候，……，和十二個門徒，問祂這比喻的意思。」馬可福音四章10節 祂與我們單獨同在。當神以磨難、痛心、試探、失望、疾病、失戀、新交或友誼破裂種種方式，促成我們與祂單獨同在的時候──當祂與我們絕對獨處，而我們啞口無言，一個問題也不能問的時候，祂才開始講解。留意耶穌基督訓練那十二個門徒。感覺困惑的是門徒，倒不是外面的群眾。他們不斷地問祂許多問題，而祂不斷地給他們講解。但是，直到他們接受聖靈以後，他們才心領神會（參約十四26）。 如果你們與神繼續往來，有一件事是要明瞭的，神也僅僅要你們明瞭這件事，就是對付你們靈性的方法。你兄弟的愁苦和困難，對你是一種絕對不能明瞭的事。等到神給與我們足量的痛心，我們才能想像，才能理會。在我們每個人裡面有許多頑強和無知的區域，被聖靈揭示出來了，這只有耶穌與我們單獨同在的時候，才能成功。我們現在與祂單獨同在嗎？抑或我們為混亂的意念，為神工作中混亂的心志，為自身混亂的觀念所播弄呢？不到我們撇開了心中一切的問題，而與耶穌單獨同在的時候，耶穌就不能向我們解說甚麼。

一月十三日 「他要以你當作神。」出埃及記四章16節 這是神對摩西的應許，神也要摩西在他哥哥亞倫面前有這麼高貴的性格。這不是提議，我們必須藉著崇高、榮耀的地位對著我們所遇見的人做神的代表。 在我們的生命中，代表神是何等神聖、光榮的事。但是我們能一致地接受這個呼召嗎？若能，我們在待人的行為上必定有很大的改變。神是值得依靠、信賴的。祂的話語永不改變，所以我們可以毫不保留地相信祂。願我們活出神的樣式來，好叫人信任我們，像他們信靠神一樣。 由於神沒有任何需要，祂總是不斷地付出，並且「厚待一切求告祂的人」(羅十)，祂性格的偉大在於愛──大公無私的愛、善待一切受造物的愛。神的生命是忘我的生命；祂除了愛護、祝福萬物，真是別無他求。 當主在神的寶座為我們代求時，讓我們好好地活，在地上作主的好門徒。
