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14日）
一月十四日 「祂放出自己的羊。」約翰福音十章4節 主把自己的羊放出來。雖然羊走路很辛苦，然而必須如此。一直懶在一個又暖又舒適的羊圈中並不是真幸福。所以祂必須放羊出來，使他們喫草喝水、呼吸新鮮的空氣、欣賞美麗的風景。 覺悟罷，讓我們不再留戀原有的地罷！如果祂指揮我們出來，如果是我們的主親手放我們出來的，一切絕不會錯誤的。起來罷，奉祂的名，向著青草地和可安歇的水邊開步罷！放膽罷，因為祂「在前頭走。」無論甚麼危險必須先經過祂。信心的眼睛能看見前面領路的好牧人；如果看不見了，自己再向前走去就危險了。安心罷，主叫我們走的路，祂自己都有過經歷的；祂不會叫我們走一步我們不能走的路。 這纔是一個有福的生命——不遠看將來、不掛慮前面一步、不自己選擇路程、不把理想的重擔壓在背上、只是靜靜地一步一步緊跟著牧人。 漫天漆黑， 遮掩了未知的明天， 祗能暗中摸索， 因為夜幕未收， 此刻或許得不到久盼的曙光， 但我知道， 神走在我前頭。 危險即身旁， 恐懼搖撼我的心， 生命前途， 在在使我憂愁， 但我是屬主的， 祂知道我應走的路， 更幸運的是， 祂走在我的前頭。 疑竇投下了不祥的陰影， 擔心人生佳境， 已不復可求， 唯有祂的諾言使我堅強振奮， 最幸運的是， 祂走在我的前頭。 祂走在前頭， 這是我的安慰， 祂走在前頭， 我心有了寄托， 祂走在前頭， 保證我的得救， 祂走在前頭， 一切必然順利。 ─史密斯 在東方的曠野中，牧童總是走在羊群前頭的。甚麼危險的事情發生，必定先臨到他，因為他在羊群前頭。現在，神也在我們前頭。祂在明天，明天頂會使我掛慮，可是神已經在那邊了。我們一生的明天，都必須先經過祂，然後纔臨到我們。 ─梅爾 每一個明天， 都有神的領導， 因此今天儘可歡笑， 行路所需的指示與力量， 明天未盡， 我就能找到； 祂給了我疲憊時的鼓勵， 悲哀時所需的慰勞， 苦痛時所需的希望， 以及雨後開朗， 陽光普照。

January 14 "He putteth forth his own sheep." (John 10:4.) ＯH, this is bitter work for Him and us─bitter for us to go, but equally bitter for Him to cause us pain; yet it must be done. It would not be conducive to our true welfare to stay always in one happy and confortable lot. He therefore puts us forth. The fold is deserted, that the sheep may wander over the bracing mountain slope, The laborers must be thrust out into the harvest, else the golden grain would spoil. Take heart! it could not be better to stay when He determines otherwise; and if the loving hand of our Lord puts us forth, it must be well. On, in His name, to green pastures and still waters and mountain heights! He goeth before thee. Whatever awaits us is encounterld first by him Faith's eye can always discern His majestic presence in front; and when that cannot be seen, it is dangerous to move forward. Bind this comfort to your heart,that the Savior has tried for Himself all the experiences through which He asks you to pass; and He would not ask you to pass through them unless He was sure that they were not too difficult for your feet, or too trying for your strength. This is the Blessed Life─not anxious to see far in front, nor careful about the next step, not eager to choose the path, nor weighted with the heavy responsibilities of the future, but quietly following behind the Shepherd, one step at a time. Dark is the sky! And veiled the unknown morrow! Dark is life's way, for night is not yet o'er; The longed-for glimpse I may not meanwhile borrow; But, this I know, HE GOETH ON BEFORE. Dangers are nigh! And jears my mind are shaking; Heart seems to dread what life may hold in store; But I am His─ He knows the way I'm taking, More blessed still─ HE GOETH ON BEFORE. Doubts cast their weird, unwelcome shadows o'er me, Doubts that life's best─life's choicest things are o'er; What but His Word can strengthen, can restore me, And this blest fact; that still HE GOES BEFORE. HE GOES BEFORE! Be this my consolation! He goes before! On this my heart would dwell! He goes before! This guarantees salvation! HE GOES BEFORE! And therefore all is well. ─J. Danson Smith. The Oriental shepherd was always ahead of his sheep. He was down in front. Any attack upon them had to take him into account. Now God is down in front. He is in the tomorrows. It is tomorrow that fills men with dread. God is there already. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us. ─F.B.M. "God is in every tomorrow, Therefore I live for today, Certain of finding at sunrise, Guidance and strength for the way; Power for each moment of weakness, Hope for each moment of pain, Comfort for every sorrow, Sunshine and joy after rain."

一月十四日 我們對基督的愛 「你們雖然沒有見過祂，卻是愛祂；如今雖不得看見，卻因信祂就有說不出來、滿有榮光的大喜樂。」彼得前書一章8節 對於基督徒的生活，這是一個何等奇妙的描寫！從來沒有見過祂的人，卻是真實的愛祂，並且信靠祂，因此他們的心就充滿了說不出來的大喜樂。這就是一個真實愛主之基督徒的生活。 我們已經看見，父與子的主要特性，就是祂們中間彼此的愛，和對人的愛。這一個也應當是真實基督徒的主要特性。神和基督的愛澆灌在他心裡，並要成為一個愛的活水泉源，向著主耶穌湧流而去。 這個愛並不僅僅是一個甜美的感覺，而是一個叫人積極的原則。愛使我們樂於遵行這位可愛之主的旨意，也使我們以遵守祂的命令為樂。基督對我們的愛，乃是藉著祂在十字架上的受死而得以顯明；為此我們的愛，也必須表現在不自私和犧牲自己的生活中。哦！但願我們能明白這一句話的意義：就是在基督徒的生活中，對基督的愛乃是一切。 大的愛就產生大的信心。就是信祂向著我們的愛，信祂要將祂的愛強有力的啟示在我們心中，信祂要藉著祂的愛，在我們裡面作成祂一切可喜悅的旨意。信和愛好像雙翼，要把我們帶到屬天的境界去，因此我們就要充滿說不出來的大喜樂。基督徒若要向這個世界，見證基督的能力能改變人心，並且能使他們充滿屬天的愛和喜樂，他們的喜樂，實在是不可缺少的。 哦，你這愛主耶穌的人啊！請每天花一些時間在內室裡與祂交通，逐日更新的暢飲於祂屬天的愛裡。這個愛會使你的信心剛強，也會使你的喜樂滿足。愛、喜樂和信心，這些都要藉著主耶穌的恩，成為我們逐日的生活。

一月十四日 神之選召 「我可以差遣誰呢？誰肯為我們去呢？我說，我在這裡，請差遣我。」以賽亞書六章8節 「我可以差遣誰呢？」不是神向以賽亞一個人提出來的；而以賽亞聽見了。神的選召，不是為特殊的幾個人，而是為一切的人。我能否聽見神的選召，是以我所感覺的情形為轉移；而我所聞見的，又以我的態度為轉移。「被召的人多，選上的人少。」（太廿二14）意思是說，只有幾個證明自己是選召的，就是那些藉著耶穌基督而與神發生關係的人。這些人的心曾經改變，他們的聽覺啟開了，時時能聽見「誰肯為我們去呢？」這樣詢問的微聲。這並不是神要選出某人來，卻只說，「現在你去吧！」神並沒有極力強迫以賽亞，是以賽亞在神面前，偶然聽見神的選召，確覺他不能另有所圖，在意識的自由之下，回答了「我在這裡，請差遣我。」 把神強迫你的觀念從你的心裡放棄。我們的主召選祂的門徒之時，外面並沒有不可抗拒的強迫。「跟從我」這句話是主用啟發的力量從容不迫地向他們說的。如果我們讓聖靈引領我們而與神面對面，則我們也能聽見類似以賽亞所聽見的話──神的微聲；我們也有完全的自由，回答說：「我在這裡，請差遣我。」

一月十四日 「滿有基督長成的身量」以弗所書四章13節 神深愛我們，所以祂不允許我們不追求祂最高的旨意。終有一天，我們會感謝這位信實的老師，因為祂不准我們打折扣，並且給予我們力量及恩典去完成祂的旨意。當我們完成祂所有的、輝煌的任務之後，我們一定會感謝祂不讓我們找藉口，或是半途而廢。 讓我們堅定起來、讓我們完全照神的意思作事，絕對不把祂的應許或命令打了折。讓我們有高的標準，在到目標之前絕不休息。羅馬書三章4節說：「神是真實的，人都是虛謊的。」所以即使我們失敗一百次，也不該用我們的看法，來改變神對我們的期望。讓我們寧可像一個勇敢的掌旗官，挺挺地站在他的同伴前面，不斷地揮著團隊的旗。當敵軍叫他後退時，他卻揮著旗，並且大叫：「不要讓我們的團隊失色，就讓我們的團隊贏得勝利的光彩。」 前進、前進，拋掉過去， 邁向未來，不斷追求。 應許之地就在眼前， 神且有更大的祝福等著你。
