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.

二月六日 「祂將海變成乾地；眾民步行過河；我們在那裏因祂歡喜。」詩篇六六篇6節 按常情說來，百姓過紅海時，波濤在兩邊翻騰，追兵在後面吶喊，他們一定驚恐、戰慓、痛苦、倉皇；可是作詩篇的人竟說，「我們在那裏」——大水中——「因祂歡喜」。 有多少信徒能有這樣經歷：「在那裏」——在一個失望的絕境中，一個外患內憂的時候，能「因祂歡喜」？ 「在那裏」立約的神來了！「在那裏」衪的應許實現了！「在那裏」仇敵消滅了！「在那裏」信不過來的經歷嘗到了！如果不「在那裏」，在一個順利的境遇中，即使花盡力氣去找，也找不到這些榮耀的事實。好像白日有了陽光，把星光遮掩了；黑夜一到，滿天的明星出現了——經上的應許、安慰、盼望，也都是在憂愁之夜出現的。 像雅各在「雅博」一樣，日落之後，才有天使前來，我們經過虔誠祈禱之後，才能獲得結果。 亞倫在夜晚點燃神燈，在困苦艱難之夜晚，信徒的明燈，放出最燦爛的光亮。 拔摩海島上的約翰，在孤單淒涼中得見主榮耀的異象。今天在地上仍有許多荒涼的拔摩海島，那裏有主的愛和恩典，有主的同在，可以消滅孤單和憂愁。讀者，你願不願意去呢？ 有多少旅客，在經過紅海和約但河的苦難時，能一心想念神，說：「我們步行過河，在那裏─在這些黑暗的經歷裏，在波濤四邊翻騰的光景裏一因祂歡喜。」 ─馬克特夫 「……從那裏……我必賜他葡萄園，又賜他亞割谷作為指望的門，他必在那裏歌唱。」（何二15）

February 6 "He truned the sea into dry land; they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him." (Psalm 66:6.) ＩT is a striking assertion, "through the floods" (the place where we might have expected nothing but trembling and terror, anguish and dismay) "there," says the Psalmist, "did we rejoice in him!" How many there are who can endorse this as their experience: that "there," in their very seasons of distress and sadness, they have been enabled, as they never did before, to trumph and rejoice. How near their God in covenant is brought! How brightly shine His promises! In the day of our prosperity we cannot see the brilliancy of these. Like the sun at noon, hiding out the stars from sight, they are indiscernible; but when night overtakes, the deep, dark night of sorrow, out come these clustering stars─blessed constellations of Bible hope and promise of consolation. Like Jacob at Jabbok, it is when our earthly sun goes down that the Divine Angel comes forth, and we wrestle with Him and prevail. It was at night, "in the evening," Aaron lit the sanctuary lamps. It is in the night of trouble the brightest lamps of the believer are often kindled. It was in his loneliness and exile John had the glorious vision of his Redeemer. There is many a Patmos still in the world, whose brightest remembrances are those of God's presence and upholding grace and love in solitude and sadness. How many pilgrims, still passing through these Red Seas and Jordans of earthly affliction, will be enabled in the retrospect of eternity to say─full of the memories of God's great goodness─ "We went through the flood on foot, there─there, in these dark experiences, with the surging waves on very side, deep calling to deep, Jordan, as when Israel crossed it, in`the time of the overflowing; (flood), yet, there did we rejoice in Him!'" ─ Dr. Macduff. "And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the door of trouble for a door of hope: and she shall sting THERE." (Hosea 2:15.)

二月六日 神臉上的光 「神就是光。」約翰一書一章5節 「耶和華是我的亮光。」詩篇廿七篇1節 每早晨太陽升起，我們行走在祂的光中，歡歡喜喜地作各樣該作的事。無論我們想不想，太陽的光總是整天照著我們。每天早晨，神的光也照著祂的兒女。但如果我們要享受主臉上的光。我們的心必須轉向神，相信祂，好讓祂的光照著我們。 如果在午夜有條船遇了險，那水手們是怎樣熱切地等候早晨快到呢？他們要發出多少的嘆息，說甚麼時候天才發亮呢？照樣，基督徒也必須這樣等候神，忍耐的等候，直到祂的光照著了他。 「我的心等候主，勝於守夜的，等候天亮。」（詩一三○6） 哦，我的心哪！每天用這些話來開始禱告： 「求您使您的臉光照僕人。」（詩卅一16） 「耶和華啊！求您仰起臉來，光照我們。」（詩四6） 「使您的臉發光，我們便要得救。」（詩八十3、7、19） 不要停止使用這些話，直到你知道祂臉上的光和祝福已經賜給了你。這樣，你就要認識這個真理：「他們在您臉上的光裡行走，他們因您的名終日歡樂。」（詩八十九15—16） 神的兒女們，相信你的父是熱切地盼望你一直歡樂居住在祂的光中。天上的光就是天父臉上的光，是絕對需要的，正像你每個時候需要太陽的光一樣。而且，我們接受享受這日光，我們就可以相信，神是極其願意讓祂的光照著我們的。 就是在有雲的時候，太陽仍舊在那裡；所以，當我們在各樣難處中的時候，神的光仍然不止息地照著我們。如果你知道太陽已經升起了，你就能完全依靠這光行走。照樣，如果早晨神的光是實在的照亮了你，你也能整天靠著這光行走。 不要停止追求，直到你說：「有許多人說：誰能將良善啟示我們呢？主啊，求您仰起臉來，光照我們。」要花時間追求，直到光照亮在你心裡，你也能誠實地說：「主是我們的亮光，是我的拯救。」（詩廿七1）

二月六日 你準備獻上麼？ 「我現在被澆奠，……」提摩太后書四章6節 「我現在準備獻上。」這是一種意志的活動。不是情緒的活動。向神陳明你準備獻上的志願，不問結果，不發怨言。隨神之所好。神把你置於危險中，是無人能助你的。外面的生活也許是一樣的；裡面的意志卻有分別。如果在意志上有所決定，則於發動行為的時候，絕不會計及代價的問題。如果你的意志不與神站在一條線上，終結你是憐惜你自己。 「用繩索捆著犧牲，拴在祭壇角上。」祭壇的意義是火──焚燒，潔淨，隔離，只有一個目的。破壞一切不合神意見的事，破壞一切不合神契約的契約。不必要你毀壞它，神卻要毀壞它；你將犧牲捆在祭壇角上；當心，火燒的時候，你不可因憐恤的心腸而讓步。火燒以後，壓迫或抑制，一切都沒有了。每當危機臨到，你會認定往昔那些觸動你的事，不會觸動你。你經過火燒以後是怎樣的呢？ 向神陳明你準備獻上的心腸；神必向你表證祂自己，超過你的幻想。

二月六日 「隨時多方……為眾聖徒祈求。」以弗所書六章18節 這個忠告是何等寶貴呀！停止花過多的時間專為自己禱告，開始無私地代求，神必然會加添你更多信心，而且幫助你發現別人的需要，要比為自己所關心的事而求告容易地多。 試試為舉世、為確定的事、為困難的事、為榮耀的事，為能高舉基督拯救世人的事而祈求。當你在這些方面得到一些美好的答覆之後，你再為自己小小的負擔祈求時，必定會覺得信心倍增，因此我們應該不斷地為眾聖徒祈求。 你可曾學習過讓神照顧你，把自己一切心思力量都放在為聖徒祈求的功課？為他人代禱能使我從千千萬萬的負擔裡得到釋放，這樣的操練能使我們進入更偉大高尚的境界，並且教導我們像神一樣地為他人而活、而愛。主啊！求您使我們脫離自私的禱告，給我們充滿愛的信心，叫我們面對這個日日沈淪的世界時，能有基督悲天憫人的心。
