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.

三月十四日 「摩西就挨近神所在的幽暗之中。」出埃及記廿章21節 神今天仍有祂隱藏的祕密,向聰明通達人藏起來。可是你不必怕它們;儘管在神面前接受你所不解的東西;忍耐等候。不久祂要指示你黑暗中的寶貝,隱密中的榮耀。 不要怕進前面的黑雲。神在其中。「有火煉的試驗臨到你們,不要以為奇怪,(似乎是遭遇非常的事)倒要歡喜;因為你們是與基督一同受苦。」(彼前四 12、13)當你感到孤單的時候,須知神在咫尺。祂在黑雲中,等候你進去親近祂。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 這種遭遇, 可怕陰沈, 它預示風雨來臨。 雲漸漸迷漫開來, 一陣緊一陣, 地暗天昏, 雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 這是耶和華的凱旋車, 載著祂前來給你溫存, 雲是祂的面紗, 祂的衣襟。 你受不住那樣的光輝, 所以要遮掩祂的聖容。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 何等可怕的考驗, 如失去了可愛的親人, 又如威脅更如誘惑, 你將不知所措, 心迷神昏, 但雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命, 你是否遇上了衰老病痛和死亡的陰雲? 這些雲將皆在你奄奄一息時來到, 正像駕舟歸航, 別怕港口黑暗; 死亡之雲雖然寒冷陰沈, 終將鍍上金邊, 逐漸光明, 神就在這雲裏來臨。 某醫師一天站在一座高山頂上,觀看山下的陣雨;他看見一頭鷹衝出黑雲,向上高飛,身上帶著的水珠,在日光下閃爍,好似金鋼鑽一般美麗。如果山下沒有陣雨,牠必是仍在谷中。人生的苦難使我們向上近神。 ─選

March 14 "Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was." (Exod. 20:21.) GOD has still His hidden secrets, hidden from the wise and prudent. Do not fear them; be content to accept things that you cannot understand; wait patiently. Presently He will reveal to you the treasures of dardness, the riches of the glory of the mystery. Mystery is only the veil of God's face. Do not be afraid to enter the cloud that is settling down on your life. God is in it. the other side is radiant with His glory. "Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you; but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's suffierings." When you seem loneliest and most forsaken, God is nigh. He is in the dark cloud. Plunge into the blackness of its darkness without flinching; under the shrouding curtain of His pavilion you will find God awaiting you. ─Selected. "Hast thou a cloud? Something that is dark and full of dread; A messenger of tempest overhead? A something that is darkening the sky; A something growing darker bye and bye; A something that thou fear'st will burst at last; A cloud that doth a deep, long shadow cast, God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? It is Jehovah's triumph car: in this He rideth to thee, o'er the wide abyss. It is the robe in which He wraps His form; For He doth gird Him with the flashing storm. It is the veil in which He hides the light Of His fair face, too dazzling for thy sight. God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A trial that is terrible to thee? A black temptation threatening to see? A loss of some dear one long thine own? A mist, a veiling, bringing the unknown? A mystery that unsubstantial seems: A cloud between thee and the sun's bright beams? God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A sickness─weak old age─distress and death? These clouds will scatter at thy last faint breath. Fear not the clouds that hover o'er thy barque, Making the harbour's entrance dire and dark; The cloud of death, though misty, chill and cold, Will yet grow radiant with a fringe of gold. GOD cometh in that cloud." As Dr. C. stood on a high peak of the Rocky Mountains watching a storm raging below him, an eagle came up through the clouds, and soared away towards the sun and the water upon him glistened in the sunlight like diamonds. Had it not been for the storm he might have remained in the valley. The sorrows of life cause us to rise towards God.

三月十四日 禱告的所在 「這些人……都同心合意地恆切禱告。」使徒行傳一章14節 基督臨離世前曾囑咐祂的教會四個要點:「要等候父所應許的。」「聖靈要降在你們身上,你們就必得著能力。」「你們要為我作見證。」「在耶路撒冷直到地極。」 同心恆切的禱告、聖靈的能力、為活的基督作活的見證人,從耶路撒冷直到地極——這些才是新約中的真正福音、服事,及教會的標記。一個同心意禱告的教會,一種充滿了聖靈的服事,為著活的基督作活的見證的一班人,報好消息給地上的每個人——這才是基督所建立的教會,也唯有這樣的教會才能勝過全世界。 基督升天之後,使徒們立刻知道他們的工作是甚麼,那就是繼續同心合意地恆切禱告,被基督的愛及聖靈捆在一起成為一體。就是這樣他們才得到奇妙的能力,從天上的神而臨到世上的人。 他們的責任乃是同心合意恆切地禱告,等候聖靈的能力;就是從高天所賜下的能力,使他們能直到地極為基督作見證。一個禱告的教會,一個被聖靈充滿的教會,一個見證的教會,以全地作見證的目標及範圍─這才是一個耶穌基督的教會。 只要教會守住這個特性,它就有能力得勝。但若她落到世界影響之下,那麼她將失去那屬天超然的美麗及能力。禱告將多麼不忠實,聖靈的工作也是那麼微弱,基督的見證流於形式,對於直到地極的託付何其不忠! 禱告: 可稱頌的主耶穌,施恩予您的教會,求您賜下恆切禱告的靈像以往一樣,使您的教會能證實那與您同在的能力與教會同在,並為您作見證,使整個的世界都服在您的腳下。阿們。

三月十四日 順從 「順從誰,就作誰的奴僕。」羅馬書六章16節 想要察覺那支配我的權柄,第一件事,是要認可我自己要像這樣的被支配。如果我做我自己的奴僕,那我自己是應當負責的;因為我已經轉回頭來服從了自己。同樣,如果我順從神,那麼我應該自動的歸向祂。 在幼年時代歸順自私的人,自會覺得自私是世上最不易擺脫的事。人類心靈裡沒有力量打破所養成的奴性。在一秒鐘中,你順從了慾念(須記取慾念的意思:「我要立時得到」,無論是肉慾是意慾),僅僅只有一次,也許你咒詛自己不該如此,然而你是做了那件事的奴隸。要想掙脫,人是沒有力量的,只有救贖之力。你得完全甘心,依從那能擊退支配你的東西的一位,就是主耶穌基督。「祂用膏膏我,叫我傳福音給貧窮的人」。 我們在小事上感覺如此──「啊!我能隨隨便便改掉這個習慣。」你不能,你會覺得習慣絕對支配了你,因為你是甘心依從它。容易說──「祂能破除種種桎梏」,而同時自己作自己的奴僕。要想破除人類生活的任何奴性,除依從耶穌外,別無他法。

三月十四日 「我們原是祂的工作……」以弗所書二章10節 主耶穌差遣我們事奉祂,不是藉著我們自己的能力,乃是靠祂的來源和力量。以弗所書二章10節說:「我們原是祂的工作,在基督耶穌裡造成的,為要叫我們行善,就是神所豫備叫我們行的。」換言之,我們並不需豫備什麼,只要隨時依靠基督,就能應付生命中任何情況的需要。 我們必須靠信心接受神所賜的力量,繼續為祂工作,相信祂與我們同在,並且是這住在我們裡面的智慧、信心、愛、禱告、力量,以及我們工作所需的恩惠和恩賜。在信心這件事上,我們或許覺得軟弱、無助,甚至感覺不到能力的存在。然而只要我們相信祂,繼續前進,祂就必成為我們的能力,讓我們結果子。 我們最有益的事奉,乃是能在曠野中結出果實來,因為那果實是在最不毛之地所生出來的。何西阿書二章14—15節說:「後來我必勸導他,領他到曠野……他從那裡出來,我必賜他葡萄園……。」所以讓我們學習靠信心事奉、與主同行。那麼將來我們就能收穫信心的果實,看到許多得救的靈魂。而我們生命中所結的果實,更會在永恆中完全留存下來。

隨機小語智慧是什麼?
有一隻老虎,看見曾打敗過自己的水牛,被人吆喝著耕地,便去問牛為什麼怕農夫,牛說:「因為人有智慧」。 老虎向農夫要求看看他的智慧。農夫說他把智慧放在家裡,可以去拿,但要先把老虎捆起來,免得他走了以後老虎把牛吃掉,老虎聽了覺得有道理,老虎聽從農夫的話。 農夫回村叫了村民來,把老虎裝鐵籠裡,農夫就對老虎說:「這就是智慧」。 國英台羅馬注音聖經新增台語羅馬字典教會MIDI卡拉OK新增教會MIDI卡拉OK流量最多的歌教會MIDI卡拉OK新修改會員登入 |
