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.

一月十七日 「永活神的僕人但以理阿，你所常事奉的神，能救你……」但以理書六章20節（直譯） 雖然這節聖經我們曾讀了多次，可是我們常把它忽略過去。我們知道經上記著神是活的神；然而在我們日常的生活中，我們最會忘記的，乃是神是活的神；因為祂是活的神，祂在三、四千年以前怎樣，現在還是怎樣；祂以前是全能的，現在還是；以前有慈愛憐憫，如今對於那些愛祂、事奉祂的人仍有；祂是不改變的。所以我們該完全信靠祂，在我們最黑暗的時候，仍不失去這個事實——祂仍是、永是活的神！如果你與神同行，仰望祂給你隨時的幫助，永活的神保險不會誤你的事。一個主內年長的弟兄，認識活的神已經四十四年了，他作見證告訴我說：神從來沒有耽誤過我。在極大的艱難、極重的試煉、極深的窮困和需要中，神從來沒有誤過我的事；因為我靠著祂的恩典能信祂，祂總隨時給我幫助。我樂意述說祂的名。 ─慕勒 馬丁路得有一次覺得他前途中危機四伏，因此他心中充滿了憂愁和恐懼；這時他自己知道必須抓住上面來的力量，纔能過去；他獨自枯坐著，用他的手指在桌面上畫這幾個字：「祂是永活的！」衪是永活的！他喜樂了，他恢復了。「祂是永活的」，也是我們的力量和盼望。今天世上的偉人、領袖、科學家、哲學家等等，只能發光一時，不久就完了。人都會過去；祂是永存的。人是點著的燈，所遲早會熄的；惟有祂是真光，眾光之源，永遠常存的。 ─馬克拉倫 崔倫保說：「有一天，我去見靈命頂深的亞當博士他告訴我他以為靈命中最寶貴的一份，就是靈中不斷的感覺主的確實同在。沒有一樣東西比感覺主的確實同在更能堅固他；這是實在的，並不是一種情感、幻想，或者心理作用。」 「而且基督是他思想的家。無論甚麼時候，他的思想在別的事情上釋放了，就回到基督那裡去；他在一個人的時候，會出聲與基督談話——不管在街上或在別處——頂自然地如同和一個朋友談話一般。主的同在對他頂實在的。」

January 17 "O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee." (Dan. 6:20.) ＨOW many times we find this expression in the Scriptures, and yet it is just this very thing that we are so prone to lose sight of. We know it is written "the living God"; but in our daily life there is scarcely anything we practically so much lose sight of as the fact that God is the living God; that He is now whatever He was three or four thousand years since; that He has the same sovereign power, the same saving love towards those who love and serve Him as ever He had and that He will do for them now what He did for others two, three, four thousand years ago, simply because He is the living God, the unchanging One. Oh, how therefore we should confide in Him, and in our darkest moments never lose sight of the fact that He is still and ever will be the living God! Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. An older brother who has known the Lord for forty-four years, who writes this, says to you for your encouragement that He has never failed him. In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name. ─George Mueller. Luther was once found at a moment of peril and fear, when he had need to grasp unseen strength, sitting in an abstracted mood tracing on the table with his finger the words, "Vivit! vivit!"("He lives! He lives!"). It is our hope for ourselves, and for His truth, and for mankind. Men come and go; leaders, teachers, thinkers speak and work for a season, and then fall silent and impotent. He abides. They die, but He lives. They are lights kindles, and, therefore, sooner or laterquenched; but He is the true light from which they draw all their brightness, and He shines for evermore. ─Alexander Maclaren. "One day I came to know Dr. John Douglas Adam," writes C. G. Trumbull. "I learned from him that what he counted his greatest spiritual asset was his unvarying consciousness of the actual presence of Jesus. Nothing bore him up so, he said, as the realization that Jesus was always with him in actual presence; and that this was so independent of his own feelings, independent of his deserts, and independent of his own notions as to how Jesus would manifest His presence. "Moreover, he said that Christ was the home of his thoughts. Whenever his mind was free from other matters it would turn to Christ; and he would talk aloud to Christ when he was alone─on the street, anywhere─as easily and naturally as to a human friend. So real to him was Jesus' actual presence.

一月十七日 愛的聖靈 「因為所賜給我們的聖靈，將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。」羅馬書五章5節 「聖靈所結的果子就是愛。」加拉太書五章22節 每當我們想到基督對於我們的愛，我們對於基督的愛，我們對於弟兄或是對於我們四周靈魂之愛的時候，我們就常會有一個思想：這個要求太大了，我們實在無法達到。要基督徒活出一個這樣愛的生活，並且把這個愛向著弟兄和有需要的靈魂彰顯出來，乃是一件不可能的事。就是因為我們把它看作不可能，也是因為我們的不信，和對神的應許缺乏信心，所以我們在這愛的聖靈裡，才沒有多少長進。 我們需要常常提醒自己，並不是靠著我們自己的力量，也不是用自己的思慮，能叫我們達到基督之愛的度量。我們必須認識這個真理，就是神的愛不僅是澆灌在我們心裡，並且還要藉著神的靈，逐日更新的再流出去。只有當我們全人降服在聖靈的引導之下，我們才能照著神的旨意而活。當我們裡面愛的生命天天被更新的時候，我們就要覺得被一個力量所催迫，而去為著靈魂工作。 你可以獻上這樣一個禱告：「我在父面前屈膝，求祂按著祂豐盛的榮耀，藉著祂的靈，叫你心裡的力量剛強起來，使基督因著你們的信，住在你們心裡，叫你們的愛心有根有基，能以和眾聖徒一同明白，基督的愛是何等長闊高深。」（弗三14—18）你可以在這個愛裡生根立基，並且認識那超越知識的愛。但是這裡有一個條件，就是你裡面的人必須被聖靈剛強起來，使基督能住在你的心裡，這樣你就要真的在這愛裡生根立基了！ 基督徒啊！請在神的話裡接受這個信息：並讓它影響你的生命，支配你的生活。除非你每天是用膝蓋等候在神面前，來讓祂的聖靈啟示在你的心裡，你就不能活在這個愛裡。只有禱告的生活，才能使愛基督、愛弟兄、愛靈魂的生活，成為你經歷中一個蒙福的實際。 請你每天在隱密處把你自己交給聖靈——就是神要賜給一切在信心裡，向祂求告之人之愛的靈。

一月十七日 自然生命的呼召 「又施恩召我的神，既然樂意將祂兒子啟示在我心裡……」加拉太書一章15—16節 神的呼召，不是一種任何特殊服務的呼召；在我或以為是這樣──因為我與神的本性結合起來，就覺得我應該為祂做甚麼。神的呼召根本是祂本性之表白；服務是我本性的結果。保羅曾這樣解釋自然生命的呼召：「既然樂意將祂兒子啟示在我心裡，叫我把祂傳（其意是鄭重地表顯祂）在外邦人中。」 服務是虔修之豐裕的流露；但是說得微妙一點，呼召原不為此，是我自己確有的一點，是我與神本性合一的回聲，是我生命中自然的一部。神使我與祂本身發生了關係，我才理會祂的呼召；才出於純然的愛，自動地替祂工作。服事神，是天性之所賦與，像這種天性才能聞見神的呼召。服務是適於我本性的表現；神的呼召是神本性的表現。惟有我接受祂的本性，聞見祂的呼召，神聖的聲音在兩方面發聲，鼓起雙方的共嗚。神的兒子將祂自己啟示在我心裡，而我因愛祂就以生命之常法去服事祂。

一月十七日 「是神在你們心裡運行」腓立比書二章13節 對基督徒來說，神並不給我們兩個旨意，祂只給一個。祂不讓我們從兩個選擇當中挑一個，祂只給一個最好、最高的旨意。能得知且成就神全然的美意是件有福的事；如果我們能按著神的計劃來定生命的計劃，以及我們基督徒的事工，那麼我們就有福了。 正如冒險能使我們浪費很多精力，當我們試著做好事時，我們也會在零碎、不確定及不協調的事情上失去許多屬靈的力量。今天在獻身給神的基督徒手中及心中，的確有屬靈的能力和財力。只要有智慧地按著神的計劃來管理，使用這些力量，我們能在這世紀中將福音傳遍地極。 基督早已為祂的教會定了一個確定的計劃，祂不僅渴望我們瞭解這計劃，並且要我們達成祂的目標。當我們得知祂的心意，順服且忠心地履行祂的旨意，我們的生命才有目的。雖然我們可以不經思考、隨意、不辨善惡地嘗試我們的主意，而且強迫神祝福「我們的」事工。但是我們若按祂的心意行，將更能討祂的喜悅。
