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. 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(04月17日)
四月十七日 「……是耶和華的手作成的……」約伯記十二章9節 幾年前,在非洲礦中發現了一顆有史以來從未有過的大金剛石。人把它進貢給英皇,作他冠冕上的飾物。英皇就把它送到荷京阿姆斯坦(Amsterdam),交給一個世上最著名的寶石匠,請他切磋。你想他怎樣作? 他拿起這無價之寶來,先刻了一個深痕。然後拿起鐵鎚來把它狠命一擊。看哪!一塊世上僅有的寶石頓時一裂為二。啊,荒謬!該死的寶石匠,闖了彌天大禍! 事實並不是這樣,那一擊是曾經過好幾星期的考慮和計劃。繪圖、打樣,曾化了許多功夫。它的性質、硬度和裏面的裂紋,都曾經過詳細的研究。英皇所委託的這人,是世上寶石匠中第一名手。 你說那一擊是擊錯了麼?不。這是寶石匠技術最高的表演。那一擊使那塊寶石成了世上最玲瓏、最炫耀的兩顆金剛鑽,那一擊實在是它的拯救。匠人在這塊鑽石未經琢鑿之前,早經胸有成竹,一劈兩半,方能顯明它是無上的價值。 有時,在你的生活中,神也把你猛擊一下。掛淚、流血、喪志、灰心,你說那一擊是擊錯了。可是並沒有,你是神的無價之寶,神是你的寶石匠。 有一天,你將作神冠冕上發光的寶石。現在你既在祂手中,祂知道怎樣對付你。若不是神的愛所許可的,沒有一擊能臨到你。 ─馬克康該 在喬治,麥唐納的著作裏,錄有二位女士的對話,一是費柏太太,一是桃樂賽女士。 費柏太太惱恨地說:「我不知道神為何要造我,造我有什麼用處」? 桃樂賽告訴她道:「也許目前還沒有顯明用處,神尚未將你造得完全,但是在神製造你的過程中,而你就對製造者有所抱怨了!」 人們祗要相信自己尚在被製造的過程中,並且願意讓造物主隨意處理,像陶人處理泥土一樣,順服於神的一切工作,不久人們就會歡迎那雙加在他們身上壓力的手,雖然有時壓得痛苦,但是他們深信,而且認識了神製造的目的,是要把人引導進入光榮之境。 「除非神認為適合, 否則這枝箭決不會射中你。」

April 17 "The hand of the Lord hath wrought this."(Job 12:9.) SEVERAL years ago there was found in an African mine the most magnificent diamond in the world's history. It was presented to the King of England to blaze in his crown of state. The King sent it to Amsterdam to be cut. It was put into the hands of an expert lapidary. And what do you suppose he did with it? He took the gem of priceless value, and cut a notch in it. Then he struck it a hard blow with his instrument, and lo! the superb jewel lay in his hand cleft in twain. What recklessness! What wastefulness! what criminal carelessness! Not so. For days and weeks that blow had been studied and planned. Drawings and models had been made of the gem. Its quality, its defects, its lines of cleavage had all been studied with minutest care. The man to whom it was committed was one of the most skillful lapidaries in the world. Do you say that blow was a mistake? Nay. It was the climax of the lapidary's skill. When he struck that blow, he did the one thing which would bring that gem to its most perfect shapeliness, radiance, and jewelled splendor. that blow which seemed to ruin the superb precious stone was, in fact, its perfect redemption. For, from those two halves were wrought the two magnificent gems which the skilled eye of the lapidary saw hidden in the rough, uncut stone as it came from the mine. So, sometimes, God lets a stinging blow fall upon your life. The blood spurts. The nerves wince. The soul cries out in agony. The blow seems to you an apalling mistake. But it is not, for you are the most priceless jewel in the world to God. And He is the most skilled lapidary in the universe. Some day you are to blaze in the diadem of the King. As you lie in His hand now He knows just how to deal with you. Not a blow will be permitted to fall upon your shrinking soul but that the love of God permits it, and works out from its depths, blessing and spiritual enrichment unseen, and unthought of by you. ─J. H. McC. In one of George MacDonald's books occurs this fragment of conversation: "I wonder why God made me," said Mrs. Faber bitterly. "I'm sure I don't know what was the use of making me!" "Perhaps not much yet," said Dorothy, "but then He hasn't done with you yet. He is making you now, and you are quarreling with the process." If men would but believe that they are in process of creation, and consent to be made─let the Maker handle them as the potter the clay, yielding themselves in resplendent motion and submissive, hopeful action with the turning of His wheel─they would ere long find themselves able to welcome every pressure of that hand on them, even when it was felt in pain; and sometimes not only to believe but to recognize the Divine end in view, the bringing of a son unto glory. "Not a single shaft can hit, Till the God of love sees fit."

四月十七日 禱告的能力 「你們若住在我裏面,我的話也住在你們裏面,凡你們所願意的,祈求就給你們成就。」約翰福音十五章7節另釋 在主耶穌回到天上之前,祂教導門徒們兩個偉大的功課,是說到他們在所要完成那更大的工作中,他們與主的關係。 第一件事,乃是祂在天上要比在地上具有更大的權能,並且祂要使用那個權能來拯救人類,這樣的工作惟有藉著他們,以及他們的話和工作才能完成。另一件事乃是他們若離開主,就不能作甚麼。但是他們能依賴主,在他們裏面,並藉著他們作工,這樣就實現了祂的目的。所以他們最優先並最主要的工作,乃是他們必須把他們所要作的每一件事,都在禱告中帶到主面前。在主臨別的談話中,祂重複這個應許有七次之多:「你們要住在我裏面,奉我的名禱告。」你們當相信這句話:「凡你們所願意,祈求就給你們成就。」 主把這兩個真理寫在他們心裏之後,就差遣他們到世人中間去。因此他們就能滿有把握地擔任他們的工作。那位全能的、得著榮耀的耶穌,就要在他們裏面,藉著他們,並且和他們一同來作比祂在地上所作更大的事。這些在地上無能又無助的門徒們,可以不斷的在禱告中來仰望祂,且滿心相信祂必定會垂聽禱告。在他們一生中,以及在他們所事奉的工作中最重要的事乃是:維持一個禱告和祈求的靈。 何等可惜,教會對這件事所相信又明白的是何等少!那是為甚麼呢?沒有別的,乃是因為信徒們很少天天住在基督裏,以致他們沒有能力來相信祂那些偉大而寶貴的應許。為著我們的生活和工作,讓我們都來學這功課,我們既為基督身體上的肢體,每天最重要的事就是活在與基督親密的交通中。這樣我們就能深深地依靠主,和不斷地向祂祈求。只有這樣我們才能在工作時,滿心相信祂已經聽了我們的禱告,並願很信實地盡祂那一分;就是賜給我們從上頭來的能力,作為力量和豐富祝福的來源。你們這些主的僕人們哪,花時間,哦!要花時間,用你們的全心相信基督所說的話。基督問:「你們信這個麼?」是的,主啊,我信!「你們要住在我裏面,……要住在我的愛裏。」「你們若住在我裏面,……凡你們所願意的,祈求就給你們成就。」

四月十七日 冒萬險 「那時西門彼得赤著身子,一聽見是主,就束上一件外衣,跳在海裡。」約翰福音廿一章7節 你曾有一種危機,使你自願的冒失的拋棄一切麼?這是意志的危機。也許在表面上屢有這種情形,但是綜算起來,不值甚麼。拋棄的大危機,是內面的,不是外面的。拋棄外面的事物,也許是表示內心不堪束縛的意思。 你曾自願的把你的意志交託於耶穌基督麼?那是意志的決定,而不是情感的衝動;情感的衝動,僅僅是這種決定的邊緣。如果你許情感佔在第一位,你就再不會成功這種決定。不要問神所決定的結果是甚麼,卻要照你所見到的去決定。 如果你在巨浪上聽見耶穌的聲音,不論你自己的意念如何!終要依從,終要維持你與祂的關係。

四月十七日 「……治服己心的,強如取城。」箴言十六章32節 自製是真正的自律,這不僅與自我犧牲有關,更與健康的靈不可分割。有了屬靈的平衡,我們才能安靜、沈著、泰然自若、深思熟慮地順服神的聲音,並且能對我們所走的每一步負責。多半的人沒有那樣的平衡心態和寧靜。他們甚至受自己的印象和心情而隨波逐流,或是受他人及周圍的環境而沈沈浮浮。 我們不該讓任何慾望控制我們,也不該叫任何甚至正當的目的主宰我們,使我們不能完全自由。因為我們單純的愛好可能是放肆的,我們的工作也許是自私的嗜癖;就是我們按神的旨意,緊緊地守住祂給我們的工作,都有可能變成我們私人的榮耀。 主啊!求您賜給我們一個永遠受您和您的旨意掌管的靈,求您讓我們擁有一雙永遠仰望您的眼睛,就像使女的眼睛仰望主母的手一樣(詩篇一廿三篇2節)。好叫我們能以事奉您為我們的釋放,以順服您為屬天的自由。
