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.

二月五日 「你們出來必不至急忙。」以賽亞書五二章12節 我不相信，我們已經瞭解在安靜中的奇妙的能力了。我們常太急躁——我們自己一定要去作——不給神一個機會彰顯祂的榮耀。因此，神常對我們說，「站住」（出十四13），「安坐」（路三18），「住了罷！靜了罷！」（可四39），祂纔可以發揮祂的全能。 在我們基督徒的生活中，我們的失敗常是因為我們要自己工作來得勝；其實，我們需要讓神在我們裏面工作。當你請一個攝影師替你照相的時候，你必須安靜不動，完全讓他作。 神對於我們有一個永久的目的，就是要我們像祂的兒子；如果要達成這個目的，我們必須處在被動的地位，關於如何主動，我們聽得太多了，也許我們更需要瞭解安靜的意義。 ─碎錦 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 別以為等候的日子對你有害， 最愛你的祂， 為你安排前程， 祂不會忘記你今日的迫切需要， 假若祂在等候， 祂的等待， 是為了證實祂對你的深愛。 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 你渴望知道主的旨意！ 由於祂的緩慢 切莫讓焦躁侵蝕心懷， 你當一心堅信等待， 祂對你的愛，至善至美。 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 一步亦不動， 直等到祂的路為你暢開， 那時你將多麼舒泰， 你的腳步將如何輕快， 你的靈魂將多麼堅強， 等候的日子並不長得不可忍耐。 「女兒啊！你只管安坐靜待」， 你還能為祂作什麼更大的奉獻？ 是的， 這是很難， 但好的東西， 代價亦貴， 為了吝嗇破費， 招來多少損害。 是的， 這很難， 但祂的恩典俱在， 你的等待， 換來了福如東海。 ─史密斯

February 5 "Ye shall not go out with haste." (Isa. 52:12.) Ｉ DO not believe that we have begun to understand the marvelous power there is in stillness. we are in such a hurry─we must be doing─so that we are in danger of not giving God a chance to work. You may depend upon it, God never says to us, "Stand still," or "Sit still," or "Be still," unless He is going to do something. This is our trouble in regard to our Christian life; we want to do something to be Christians when we need to let Him work in us. Do you know how still you have to be when your likeness is being taken? Now God has one eternal purpose concerning us, and that is that we should be like His Son; and in order that this may be so, we must be passive. We hear so much about activity, may be we need to know what it is to be quiet. ─Crumbs. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Nor deem these days─these waiting days─as ill! The One who loves thee best, who plans thy way, Hath not forfgotten thy great need today! And, if He waits, 'tis sure He waits to prove To thee, His tender child, His heart's deep love. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Thou longest much to know thy dear Lord's will! While anxious thoughts would almost steal their way Corrodingly within, because of His delay─ Persuade thyself in simple faith to rest That He, who knows and loves, will do the best. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! Nor move one step, not even one, until His way hath opened. Then, ah then, how sweet! How glad thy heart, and then how swift thy feet Thy inner being then, ah then, how strong! And waiting days not counted then too long. Sit still, my daughter! Just sit calmly still! What higher service could'st thou for Him fill? Tis hard! ah yes! But choicest things must cost! For lack of losing all how much is lost! Tis hard, tis true! But then─He giveth grace To count the hardest spot the sweetest place. ─J. Danson Smith.

二月五日 靜默的敬拜 「我的心默默無聲，專等候神。」「我的心哪，你當默默無聲，專等候神，因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」詩篇六十二篇1、5節 當人在他的微小裡，與神在祂的榮耀裡相逢的時候，我們都知道神所說的話其價值是遠超過人所說的。但是在我們的禱告裡，卻時常發表許多自己的思想，只是關乎我們的需要，應當好好學習安靜默然的在神面前，這才是真實敬拜的秘訣。讓我們記得這一個應許：「你們得力在乎平靜安穩（信靠）」「我的心哪，你當專心等候神，因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」「我要等候主，我的心等候，我的盼望也在乎祂的話語。」 當人的心俯伏在祂的面前，想念祂的偉大、祂的聖潔、祂的能力和祂的愛，並將祂的名所該得的榮耀、尊貴和敬拜，歸給祂的時候，人的心就敞開來接受神的親密，和祂能力的工作。 哦！基督徒啊，相信這樣的敬拜神——在你的無有裡俯伏下拜，並提起你的思想來領會神的同在，好像在基督耶穌裡，將自己賜給你，才是惟一的路，將神所當得的榮耀歸給祂，並且能帶到那禱告最高的祝福裡。 不要想這是虛擲光陰，如果在起頭的時候覺得困難，沒有果效，不要放棄它。相信它能帶你到與神正當的關係裡。它為你開一條與父神交通的道路。它也帶進一個蒙福的保證，就是神用慈愛看顧你，又用秘密而聖潔的能力工作在你裡面。當你這樣成為習慣的時候，你就要覺得祂的同在是整天不離開你。這一個能使你剛強的為主作見證。有人說：「除了神在人裡面之外，沒有一個人能影響別人叫他良善與聖潔。」人會覺得你是與神同在的。「惟耶和華在祂的聖殿中，全地的人，都當在祂面前肅敬靜默」（哈二20） 「凡有血氣的，都當在耶和華面前，靜默無聲，因為祂興起，從聖所出來了。」（亞二13）

二月五日 你準備獻上麼？ 「我以你們的信心為供獻的祭物，我若被澆奠在其上，也是喜樂，並且與你們眾人一同喜樂。」腓立比書二章17節 你願意獻上自己，替信的人工作──傾出你生命的血，作為一種奠祭，加到別人信心的祭品上麼？或說：我此刻還不要把自己獻上，我也不要神替我揀選工作，我要揀選我自己犧牲的環境，我希望有人注視著，誇我「做得好！」 抱著光榮的英勇，獨斷獨行，是一件事。如果神命定你作蹋腳的毯子，擺在門口，任人踐踏，那又是一件事。或許神要教訓你說：「我知道怎樣的自卑」──你準備像那樣獻上麼？你準備像一滴之水，在水桶中麼？──你願意無聲無臭的消滅在人類的記念中麼？你願意耗費自己，同時也願被別人耗費麼？不求受人的服事，卻求服事人麼？有的「聖者」不肯從事僕役的工作，是因為僕役的工作有損他們的尊嚴。

二月五日 「在主裡休息」詩篇卅八篇 當神創造萬物時，祂以工作開始一個星期，以休息作為結束。然而耶穌在主日復活之後，一個星期的第一天卻以休息為開始，之後才工作。 因此我們必須像神一樣先停止工作，進入祂裡面休息。然後帶著安靜的心，我們才會滿有能力地作祂的事工。 我們為什麼得努力進入祂裡面休息呢？讓我們來瞧瞧開帆船的技術：當帆船乘風前進時，它能毫不費力、平靜地在水面上滑行。但是掌舵的人必須穩穩地握住船舵，使帆能順風、使船能平衡。假使掌舵的人稍微一鬆手，帆立刻會沒精打采地倒下來。不僅所有的帆會倒下來，而且海浪會無情地使帆船翻騰不已，使一切的寧靜、能力消失淨盡。換言之，有了穩妥的舵，才會有載風而行的帆。以賽亞書廿六章3節說：「堅心倚賴您的，您必保守他十分平安，因為他倚靠您。」意志堅定、心裡平靜乃在乎我們，然而保守我們的是主。所以讓我們努力進入祂裡面休息，由祂來掌舵。
