1:1 提阿非羅大人哪,有好些人提筆作書,述說在我們中間所成就的事,是照傳道人從起初親眼看見又傳給我們的。 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled (\f1 1:1 Or|i been surely believed|d) among us,
1:2 提阿非羅大人哪,有好些人提筆作書,述說在我們中間所成就的事,是照傳道人從起初親眼看見又傳給我們的。 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 1:3 這些事我既從起頭都詳細考察了,就定意要按著次序寫給你, Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 1:4 使你知道所學之道都是確實的。 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. 1:5 當猶太王希律的時候,亞比雅班裏有一個祭司,名叫撒迦利亞;他妻子是亞倫的後人,名叫伊利莎白。 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 1:6 他們二人在 神面前都是義人,遵行主的一切誡命禮儀,沒有可指摘的, Both of them were upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commandments and regulations blamelessly. 1:7 只是沒有孩子;因為伊利莎白不生育,兩個人又年紀老邁了。 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren; and they were both well along in years. 1:8 撒迦利亞按班次在 神面前供祭司的職分, Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, 1:9 照祭司的規矩掣籤,得進主殿燒香。 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 1:10 燒香的時候,眾百姓在外面禱告。 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside. 1:11 有主的使者站在香壇的右邊,向他顯現。 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 1:12 撒迦利亞看見,就驚慌害怕。 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 1:13 天使對他說:「撒迦利亞,不要害怕,因為你的祈禱已經被聽見了。你的妻子以利沙伯要給你生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫約翰。 But the angel said to him: <<Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John. 1:14 你必歡喜快樂;有許多人因他出世,也必喜樂。 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 1:15 他在主面前將要為大,淡酒濃酒都不喝,從母腹裏就被聖靈充滿了。 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth. (\f2 1:15 Or|i from his mother's womb|d) 1:16 他要使許多以色列人回轉,歸於主─他們的 神。 Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God. 1:17 他必有以利亞的心志能力,行在主的前面,叫為父的心轉向兒女,叫悖逆的人轉從義人的智慧,又為主預備合用的百姓。」 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.>> 1:18 撒迦利亞對天使說:「我憑著甚麼可知道這事呢?我已經老了,我的妻子也年紀老邁了。」 Zechariah asked the angel, <<How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.>> 1:19 天使回答說:「我是站在 神面前的加百列,奉差而來對你說話,將這好信息報給你。 The angel answered, <<I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 1:20 到了時候,這話必然應驗;只因你不信,你必啞巴,不能說話,直到這事成就的日子。」 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time.>> 1:21 百姓等候撒迦利亞,詫異他許久在殿裏。 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 1:22 及至他出來,不能和他們說話,他們就知道他在殿裏見了異象;因為他直向他們打手式,竟成了啞巴。 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak. 1:23 他供職的日子已滿,就回家去了。 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 1:24 這些日子以後,他的妻子伊利莎白懷了孕,就隱藏了五個月, After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 1:25 說:「主在眷顧我的日子,這樣看待我,要把我在人間的羞恥除掉。」 <<The Lord has done this for me,>> she said. <<In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.>> 1:26 到了第六個月,天使加百列奉 神的差遣往加利利的一座城去(這城名叫拿撒勒), In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 1:27 到一個童女那裏,是已經許配大衛家的一個人,名叫約瑟。童女的名字叫馬利亞; to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 1:28 天使進去,對她說:「蒙大恩的女子,我問你安,主和你同在了!」 The angel went to her and said, <<Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.>> 1:29 馬利亞因這話就很驚慌,又反復思想這樣問安是甚麼意思。 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 1:30 天使對她說:「馬利亞,不要怕!你在 神面前已經蒙恩了。 But the angel said to her, <<Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 1:31 你要懷孕生子,可以給他起名叫耶穌。 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 1:32 他要為大,稱為至高者的兒子;主 神要把他祖大衛的位給他。 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 1:33 他要作雅各家的王,直到永遠;他的國也沒有窮盡。」 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.>> 1:34 馬利亞對天使說:「我沒有出嫁,怎麼有這事呢?」 <<How will this be,>> Mary asked the angel, <<since I am a virgin?>> 1:35 天使回答說:「聖靈要臨到你身上,至高者的能力要蔭庇你,因此所要生的聖者必稱為 神的兒子〔或譯:所要生的,必稱為聖,稱為 神的兒子〕。 The angel answered, <<The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called (\f3 1:35 Or|i So the child to be born will be called holy|d) the Son of God. 1:36 況且你的親戚伊利莎白,在年老的時候也懷了男胎,就是那素來稱為不生育的,現在有孕六個月了。 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 1:37 因為,出於 神的話,沒有一句不帶能力的。」 For nothing is impossible with God.>> 1:38 馬利亞說:「我是主的使女,情願照你的話成就在我身上。」天使就離開她去了。 <<I am the Lord's servant,>> Mary answered. <<May it be to me as you have said.>> Then the angel left her. 1:39 那時候,馬利亞起身,急忙往山地裏去,來到猶大的一座城; At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 1:40 進了撒迦利亞的家,問伊利莎白安。 where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. 1:41 伊利莎白一聽馬利亞問安,所懷的胎就在腹裏跳動。伊利莎白且被聖靈充滿, When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 1:42 高聲喊著說:「你在婦女中是有福的!你所懷的胎也是有福的! In a loud voice she exclaimed: <<Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 1:43 我主的母到我這裏來,這是從哪裏得的呢? But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 1:44 因為你問安的聲音一入我耳,我腹裏的胎就歡喜跳動。 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 1:45 這相信的女子是有福的!因為主對她所說的話都要應驗。」 Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!>> 1:46 馬利亞說:我心尊主為大; And Mary said:<<My soul glorifies the Lord 1:47 我靈以 神我的救主為樂; and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 1:48 因為他顧念他使女的卑微;從今以後,萬代要稱我有福。 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, 1:49 那有權能的,為我成就了大事;他的名為聖。 for the Mighty One has done great things for me-- holy is his name. 1:50 他憐憫敬畏他的人,直到世世代代。 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. 1:51 他用膀臂施展大能;那狂傲的人正心裏妄想就被他趕散了。 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. 1:52 他叫有權柄的失位,叫卑賤的升高; He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. 1:53 叫飢餓的得飽美食,叫富足的空手回去。 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. 1:54 他扶助了他的僕人以色列, He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful 1:55 為要記念亞伯拉罕和他的後裔,施憐憫直到永遠,正如從前對我們列祖所說的話。 to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.>> 1:56 馬利亞和伊利莎白同住,約有三個月,就回家去了。 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home. 1:57 伊利莎白的產期到了,就生了一個兒子。 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 1:58 鄰里親族聽見主向她大施憐憫,就和她一同歡樂。 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy. 1:59 到了第八日,他們來要給孩子行割禮,並要照他父親的名字叫他撒迦利亞。 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 1:60 他母親說:「不可!要叫他約翰。」 but his mother spoke up and said, <<No! He is to be called John.>> 1:61 他們說:「你親族中沒有叫這名字的。」 They said to her, <<There is no one among your relatives who has that name.>> 1:62 他們就向他父親打手式,問他要叫這孩子甚麼名字。 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 1:63 他要了一塊寫字的板,就寫上,說:「他的名字是約翰。」他們便都希奇。 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone's astonishment he wrote, <<His name is John.>> 1:64 撒迦利亞的口立時開了,舌頭也舒展了,就說出話來,稱頌 神。 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak, praising God. 1:65 周圍居住的人都懼怕;這一切的事就傳遍了猶太的山地。 The neighbors were all filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. 1:66 凡聽見的人都將這事放在心裏,說:「這個孩子將來怎麼樣呢?」因為有主與他同在。 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, <<What then is this child going to be?>> For the Lord's hand was with him. 1:67 他父親撒迦利亞被聖靈充滿了,就預言說: His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: 1:68 主─以色列的 神是應當稱頌的!因他眷顧他的百姓,為他們施行救贖, <<Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people. 1:69 在他僕人大衛家中,為我們興起了拯救的角, He has raised up a horn (\f4 1:69 |iHorn|d here symbolizes strength.) of salvation for us in the house of his servant David 1:70 正如主藉著從創世以來聖先知的口所說的話, (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 1:71 拯救我們脫離仇敵和一切恨我們之人的手, salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us-- 1:72 向我們列祖施憐憫,記念他的聖約─ to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, 1:73 就是他對我們祖宗亞伯拉罕所起的誓─ the oath he swore to our father Abraham: 1:74 叫我們既從仇敵手中被救出來, to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear 1:75 就可以終身在他面前,坦然無懼的用聖潔、公義事奉他。 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 1:76 孩子啊!你要稱為至高者的先知;因為你要行在主的前面,預備他的道路, And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, 1:77 叫他的百姓因罪得赦,就知道救恩。 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, 1:78 因我們 神憐憫的心腸,叫清晨的日光從高天臨到我們, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven 1:79 要照亮坐在黑暗中死蔭裏的人,把我們的腳引到平安的路上。 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.>> 1:80 那孩子漸漸長大,心靈強健,住在曠野,直到他顯明在以色列人面前的日子。 And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel.

四月七日 「你們要休息,要知道我是神……」詩篇四六篇10節(直譯) 若要真認識神,內心的靜鎮是絕對必須的。我記得我當初怎樣學習這功課。那時正有一件大難處臨頭,我焦急得全身顫動,所有的血管都緊張,而事情又需要立即應付;可是四周的環境又不容我移動絲毫,可以幫助我的人,又不願動作。 因著內心的紛亂,我的身體好像要四分五裂了;但是忽然一個微小的聲音在靈的深處向我說:「你要安靜,要知道我是神。」這句話真帶著能力。於是我集合全身各部,壓制我的靈,使他們鎮靜下來。我把我的急難交給神,仰望等候祂;我覺得真有股力量從鎮靜中出來應付難處。結果:事情平安過去,我自己在祂裏面得了安息。這是我最寶貝的經歷,因為從此我更認識了神。 ─司密斯 這種不動並不是懶惰,乃是從信心產生的一種活的鎮靜。如果緊張而不露聲色,故作鎮靜,仍非信心的結果,不過是抑制住了焦慮而已,並非真正的鎮靜。 先知聽見天上啟示的聲音, 並非在狂風暴雨的時辰, 也非地震或火災之時, 神在萬籟無聲降臨。 靈魂哪,在神的座前要安詳, 你的憂困雖如浪潮起伏, 在祈求與願望中保持鎮靜, 盼聽神啟示你萬全之方。 集中用力, 需有間歇的休憩, 每次靜止, 生出新的能力, 最美麗的讚頌樂曲, 其間也有短時間的默息。 休息罷, 休息在肅靜的靈裏, 暫時把語言, 思慮和行動擱起, 讓整個身心, 寂寞在神的控制中, 領會祂一言一笑的全部意義。 不要像運動員爭奪錦標, 要登天堂, 不可憑意志的強暴, 像孩子似的陪你天父坐下, 要知道安靜之後, 就有幸福來到。

April 7 「Be still, and what I am God…」(Psalms 46:10) "Their strength is to sit still."(Isa. 30:7.) IN order really to know God, inward stillness is absolutely necessary. I remenber when I first learned this. A time of great emergency had risen in my life, when every part of my being seemed to throb with anxiety, and when the necessity for immediate and vigorous action seemed overpowering; and yet circumstances were such that I could do nothing, and the person who could, would not stir. For a little while it seemed as if I must fly to pieces with the inward turmoil, when suddenly the still small voice whispered in the depths of my soul, "Be still, and know that I am God." The word was with power, and I hearkened. I composed my body to perfect stillness, and I constrained my troubled spirit into quietness, and looked up and vaited; and then I did "know" that it was God, God even in the very emergency and in my helplessness to meet it; and I rested in Him. It was an experience that I would not have missed for worlds; and I may deal with the emergency, that very soon brought it to a successful issue. I learned then effectually that my "strength was to sit still." ─Hannah Whitall Smith. There is a perfect passivity which is not indolence. It is a living stillness born of trust. Quiet tension is not trust. It is simply compressed anxiety. Not in the tumult of the rending storm, Not in the earthquake or devouring flame; But in the hush that could all fear transform, The still, small whisper to the prophet came. O Soul, keep silence on the mount of God, Though cares and needs throb around thee like a sea; From supplications and desires unshod, Be still, and hear what God shall say to thee. All fellowship hath interludes of rest, New strength maturing in each poise of power; The sweetest Alleluias of the blest Are silent, for the space of half an hour. O rest, in utter quietude of soul, Abandon words, leave prayer and praise awhile; Let thy whole being, hushed in His control, Learn the full meaning of His voice and smile. Not as an athlete wrestling for a crown, Not taking Heaven by violence of will; But with thy Father as a child sit down, And know the bliss that follows His "Be Still!" ─Mary Rowles Jarvis.

四月七日 以西結書中的新約 「我必用清水灑在你們身上,你們就潔淨了;我要潔淨你們,使你們脫離一切的污穢,棄掉一切的偶像。我也要賜給你們一個新心,將新靈放在你們裏面;又從你們的肉體中除掉石心,賜給你們肉心。我必將我的靈,放在你們裏面,使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」以西結書卅六章25—27節 這裏的應許與耶利米書的應許,有相同的意思。就是神應許要給我們一個洗淨脫罪的心,並在這新的心中賜下聖靈,使我們能順從祂的律例,謹守遵行祂的典章。正如在耶利米書裏神所說的:「我要將我的律法放在他們裏面,且使他們有敬畏我的心,不離開我。」所以在這裏說:「使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」在與舊約相對照之下(在舊約沒有能力使他們持守神的律法),新約偉大的標記,乃是有神的能力使他們能順從神的律例,並謹記遵行祂的典章。 「罪在那裏顯多,恩典就更顯多了。」這個工作的結果,使人對祂完全忠誠,並全心順服。為甚麼這件事很少被人經歷呢?其回答很簡單:人沒有相信這個應許,沒有傳講它,所以也不期望這應許得到應驗。然而在羅馬書八章1—4節那段經文中說得多麼清楚。這一段話是一個曾經那把他擄去,使他附從犯罪之律的能力而發怨言之人說的。他現在感謝神,因他如今是「在基督耶穌裏」了,並且「賜生命聖靈的律,在基督耶穌裏釋放了我,使我脫離罪和死的律了。」所以律法一切的要求,就成功在那些隨從靈而行的人身上了。 再者,為甚麼能作這樣見證的人是那樣少呢?怎樣行才能達到這個目的呢?只需要一件事,就是相信這位全能的神。祂要藉著祂的大能,來作成祂所應許的:「我耶和華說過,也必成就。」哦,讓我們開始相信這應許必定實現:「我要潔淨你們,你們就潔淨了,……使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」我們要相信神在這裏所應許的一切,神就會成全這應許。神竟然把祂偉大而榮耀的諸般應許,寄託在我們的信心上,這件事真是我們所想不通的!當我們相信這些應許時,它們就要在我們裏面產生那個信心。「照著你們的信給你們成全了罷。」(太九29)讓我們今天就來證實這件事。
■ 中文屬天日子(04月07日)
四月七日 為甚麼不坦白的告訴我們呢? 「耶穌囑咐他們說,人子還沒有從死裡復活,你們不要將所看見的告訴人。」馬可福音九章9節 不到人子在你裡面活起來──不到復活的基督的生命支配你,使你明白歷史基督所教的,不要說甚麼。當你裡面達到正當情況的時候,你便清白無遺的瞭解耶穌所說的話,也會令你驚訝從前為甚麼不能理會。你從前之不能理會,是因為你還沒有達到瞭解的地步。 不到我們靈性的生活達到適宜的情況,我們的主不把這些事揭示出來;就是揭示出來,我們也不能領會。「我還有好些事告訴你們,但你們現在領會不了。」我們必要與祂復活的生命合而為一,才能領會那些特殊的話。我們知道一些關於耶穌復活的恩賜麼?我們知道的明證,就是祂的話對於我們變成了解釋。如果我們沒有神的靈,神就不向我們啟示甚麼?一種固執的眼光,就足以阻止神向我們的啟示。如果我們對於某種道理將有成見,神的光就不在那方面光照我們,我們也不能得著。當祂復活的生命來到我們的生命中,這種愚笨的階段,就可以馬上停止。 「不要告訴人……」有許多人把變形的山上所見的向人述說,他們曾經見過異象,也把它見證出來;但生命不與它符合,人子在他們心裡還沒有從死裡復活。祂到底甚麼時候在你我裡面形成呢?
■ 中文上海嗎哪(04月07日)
四月七日 「我們生活、動作、存留,都在乎祂……」使徒行傳十七章28節 在列王紀下四章18—37節中,記載了以利沙使一個孩子起死回生的故事。基哈西雖然是以利沙的僕人,但是他卻無法醫治這斷了氣的孩子。因為這樣的奇蹟必須靠著以利沙先知親自按手,把生命的氣息重新注入那冰冷的肢體。以利沙口對口、手對手、心對心地伏在孩子身上,惟有如此,神才能讓生命再次回到這個男孩的血脈裡。 如果我們盼望能藉著主耶穌的生命得著生命,如果我們想體驗祂的豐富和祂醫治的能力,那麼我們必須先與從死裡復活的救主有個人直接的接觸。否則,我們一切的努力都會白費了。一般而言,我們經常依靠一些發生在我們身上的事,或是我們自己過去的成就,有時我們甚至依靠理智上我們所相信的道理。然而,我們的靈若不與基督合而為一,就難以渴慕愛心及信心的增加,更無法藉著祂變成一個滿有愛心,或是生命更新的人。我們靈裡及身體上最大的需要,乃是親自認識耶穌、時時與祂接觸、永遠住在祂裡面。
