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10日）
一月十日 「聖靈……禁止他們在亞西亞講道。」使徒行傳十六章6節 在聖經中研究聖靈怎樣引導以前的十字架先鋒，是很有趣味的一回事。祂的引導大半是禁止，因為他們頂容易走錯誤的路。這次保羅和西拉想向左，到亞西亞一行，聖靈禁止他們。他們想向右，到庇推尼去，聖靈又禁止他們。再過一時保羅將在那裡興起他生平最大的工作；可是目前聖靈在那裡還未替他開傳道之門。在那裡攻破撒但城堡的時機尚未成熟。亞波羅必須在那裡先起開墾的工作。況且當時別的地方更需要他們去工作；他們也必須受更深的造就，然後纔能到亞西亞和庇推尼一帶去建立神的教會。 親愛的，當你茫然不知前途的時候，你就該完全讓聖靈替你定規，求祂封閉一切左道，開啟唯一的正路。你該說： 「神的靈啊，我把選擇的責任完全交託給您，求您封閉左道，不讓我的腳步走在一切不是神命定的路上。當我偏左傾右的時候，求您讓我聽見您的聲音。」 同時，在你沒有清楚聖經的指引之先，你應當繼續站在你原來的路上。守在你原有的呼召中，除非你得了新的清楚的呼召。哦，旅客哪！耶穌的靈今日等著要啟示你，好似祂當日啟示保羅一樣。在你這方面，只須小心順服，連一個頂小的禁止也須順服；信心的禱告之後，如果聖靈沒有攔阻，你只管放膽前進。可是也不要希奇，聖靈的答應儘可以是禁止。若是左右的路是關閉的，前面的路是開啟的，那條路頂清楚是通到特羅亞去的。在那裡有路加等著，在那裡有異象指引我們當走的路，在那裡有「敞開的門」和機會，在那裡也有忠心的朋友們等著。 ─梅爾 在人生的過程中， 充滿了謎一般的問題， 你想找尋答案嗎？ 唯有神知道， 祂能揭開奇妙， 祂有一把匙鑰。 幾扇門被天父關閉， 你希望開啟嗎？ 你想瞧透門裏的奧秘嗎？ 當信賴神，當等待神， 祂有一把匙鑰。 有有些懇切的祈禱， 有否回音？ 或雖有答覆， 卻不是你所祈求！ 神慢慢地會顯明祂的旨意， 祂有一把匙鑰。 神有最大的耐心， 祂是無所不知， 你也要對神有耐心， 安分等待。 你未來的生命之門， 在祂有一把匙鑰。 我知道了祂有匙鑰， 可開我心扉之門， 就得到了無窮的安慰， 心中安息平寧。 祂選擇最適當的時候， 終於為我們一一開啟。 ─無名氏

January 10 "They were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia."(Acts 16:6.) ＩT is interesting to study the methods of His guidance as it was extended towards these early heralds of the Cross. It consisted largely in prohibitions, when they attempted to take another course than the right. When they would turn to the left. to Asia, He stayed them. When they sought to turn to the right, to Bithynia, again He Stay them. after years Paul would do some of the greatest work of his life in that very region; but just now the door was closed against him by the Holy Spirit. The time was not yet ripe for the attack on these apparently impregnable bastions of the kingdom of Satan. Apollos must come there for pioneer work. Paul and Barnabas are needed yet more urgently elsewhere, and must receive further training before undertaking this responsible task. Beloved, whenever you are doubtful as to your course, submit your judgment absolutely to the Spirit of God, and ask Him to shut against you every door but the right one. Say, "Blessed Spirit, I cast on Thee the entire responsibility of closing against my steps any and every course which is not of God. Let me hear Thy voice behind me whenever I turn to the right hand or the left." In the meanwhile, continue along the path which you have been already treading. Abide in the calling in which you are called, unless you are clearly told to do something else. The Spirit of Jesus waits to be to you, O pilgrim, what He was to Paul. Only be careful to obey His prohibition; and where, after believing prayer, there are no apparent hindrances, go forward with enlarged heart. Do not be surprised if the answer comes in closed doors. But when doors are shut right and left, an open road is sure to lead to Troas. There Luke awaits, and visions will point the way, where vast opportunities stand open, and faithful friends are waiting. ─Paul, by Meyer. Is there some problem in your life to solve, Some passage seeming full of mystery? God knows, who brings the hidden things to light. He keeps the key. Is there some door closed by the Father's hand Which widely opened you had hoped to see? Trust God and wait─for when He shuts the door, He keeps the key. Is there some earnest prayer unanswered yet, Or answered NOT as you had thought 'twould be? God will make clear His purpose by-and-by. He keeps the key. Have patience with your God, your patient God, All wise, all knowing, no long tarrier He, And of the door of all thy future life, He keeps the key. Unfailing comfort, sweet and blessed rest, To know of EVERY door, He keeps the key. That He at last when just HE sees 'tis best, Will give it THEE. ─Anonumous.

一月十日 認罪 「我們若認自己的罪，神是信實的，是公義的，必要赦免我們的罪，洗淨我們一切的不義。」約翰一書一章9節 關於認罪的事，我們常常作得很虛浮很大意。很少有基督徒對認罪這件事，是需要在懇切裡來作；也很少有基督徒感覺到，一個誠懇的認罪，能夠給人力量，活出一個勝罪的生活。與主耶穌有交通的時候，我們需要用一顆誠實的心，承認每一件罪，因為每一件罪，都能成為我們基督徒生命中的礁石。 大衛王說：「我向您陳明我的罪，不隱瞞我的惡；我說，我要向耶和華承認我的過犯，您就赦免我的罪惡。……您是我藏身之處；……以得救的樂歌，四面環繞我。」（詩卅二5—7）大衛也說到他不願意認罪時的情形：「我閉口不認罪的時候，……您的手在我身上沈重。」（詩卅二3—4）但是當他認了罪以後，一個奇妙的改變就來臨了。 認罪的意思，並不只是我羞慚的承認我的罪，更是我把這一件罪交給神，相信祂能為我除去。這樣的認罪乃是含著一個意思說，我自己全然不能除去我的罪，然而藉著信心，我信靠神來拯救我。這個拯救的意思一面是說，我知道我的罪已經得蒙赦免；另一面是說，基督寶血將罪從我身上洗淨，並且保守我脫離罪的權勢。 哦，基督徒啊！你若尋求與主耶穌有交通，不要怕認你的每一件罪，要確信在這裡有拯救。但願在你與主耶穌之間，有一個彼此的默契，就是當你認每一件罪時，就必得著赦免。這樣你就要認識你的主是耶穌——祂要將祂自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。請相信在認罪裡有一個大的權能，因為罪的重擔已經被我們的主，就是我們的救主擔負去了。

一月十日 睜開的眼睛 「要叫他們的眼睛得開，……同得基業。」使徒行傳廿六章18節 這節經文，在全部新約中，可算是耶穌基督門徒的最簡短的宣傳標語。總而言之，恩典的最高權威是「罪的赦免」。一個人沒有感覺本身有基督的經驗，那就是因為他沒有領受甚麼的緣故。一個人得救唯一的記號，就是從耶穌基督有所領受。我們替神所作的工，就是開人的眼睛，使他們從黑暗歸向光明；但是那不是救贖，只是悔改──是覺悟的人所作的。我說多數基督徒是屬於這一類的，想不至說得太過吧！他們的眼睛開了，但是沒有領受甚麼。悔改不是重生。這是我們今日講道時所忽略的要素之一。如果一個人得了重生，他知道這是因為他從萬能的神領受了一種恩賜，完全不是因為他自己的甚麼決定。人之起誓發願，決志遵行，但都不是救恩。救恩的意思，是我們藉著耶穌基督從神有所領受，就是「罪得赦免」。 「和一切成聖的人同得基業」，這是恩典的第二種偉大的事工，隨第一種接踵而至的。那重生的靈在成聖裡，放棄自己的權利交給耶穌基督，使自己與神聯合，具有神對於他人的關心。

一月十日 「愛是不作害羞的事。」哥林多前書十三章5節 印度婦女所穿的華麗衣裳，乃是由一個結緊繫在她的全身。雖然這種衣裳是由一長條的布所裹出來的，但是那些柔軟的衣褶子，卻使衣服看起來像定做的一樣；儘管布的尾端只有一個小小的結，然而整件衣服卻必須靠著那小結子才不致散開。 屬靈的生命也是同理，我們可以用服飾來比喻屬靈的習性。神兒女最華麗的裝飾就是愛的衣裳，而這服飾也是由許多小小的結所綁成。 當你我閱讀哥林多前書十三章時，就會發現愛的本質竟是一連串的否定行為。「愛是不嫉妒，愛是不自誇，不張狂，不作害羞的事，不求自己的益處，不輕易發怒，不計算人的惡。」然而這些「結」卻足以勞勞地綁住我們屬靈的衣裳，也能充分解釋何以許多人失敗了，以致赤裸地走來走去；或是穿著破爛的服飾，叫人看見他們的恥辱。所以，讓我們特別看守著這些小「結」吧！
