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.

三月卅一日 「那時船在海中,因風不順,被浪搖撼。」馬太福音十四章24節 有的季節,往往颳著狂風。豈不像徵著人生的坎坷?但能體驗這種季節,我應該覺得欣幸。如果求遠留在希臘神話中的百合花鄉,那裏的氣候終年如一日,或永遠在綠草如茵的極樂島,那裏總是吹著和煦的輕風,與其如此,我寧願有大雨的傾注,風潮的來臨。試煉的風雨雖是狂暴,但我因此而有了更虔誠的祈禱,不僅使我把神的應許抓得更緊,而且使我的人格能提煉得更為純潔。 風雨的磨難是尖銳的,但是神驅馳我們接近祂的方法之一,在祂冥冥存在之中,用輕柔低沈的聲音,向我們說話,透入我們心之深處。主的榮耀,也祗有在逆風及船舶為巨浪所拋擲的時候,纔能顯現。 基督不能保證暴風雨之不來,但祂能保證你在暴風雨中的絕對安全。祂沒有應許你旅程的平靜無事,祂祗應許你能安全到達目的地。 趁著天賜的風, 揚帆出航, 然後不管它的順逆強弱, 只向前進, 不怕任何阻撓, 沒有暗礁或霧能使你遭殃。 風雨不會如此永遠猖狂, 也許要漂盪較長的時間, 繞道較遠,終必送你回家, 結束碧日浪間的徬徨。 ─富林德

March 31 "The wind was contrary."(Matt. 14:24.) RUDE and blustering the winds of March often are. Do they not typify the tempestuous seasons of my life? But, indeed, I ought to be glad that I make acquaintance with these seasons. Better it is that the rains descend and the floods come than that I should stay perpetually in the Lotus Land where it seems always afternoon, or in that deep meadowed Valley of Avilion where never wind blows loudly. Storms of temptation appear cruel, but do they not give intenser earnestness to prayer? Do they not compel me to seize the promises with a tighter hand grip? Do they not leave me with a character refined? Storms of bereavement are keen; but, then, they are one of the Father's ways of driving me to Himself, that in the secret of His presence His voice may speak to my heart, soft and low. There is a glory of the Master which can be seen only when the wind is contrary and the ship tossed with waves. "Jesus Christ is no security against storms, but He is perfect security in storms. He has never promised you an easy passage, only a safe landing." Oh, set your sail to the heavenly gale, And then, no matter what winds prevail, No reef can wreck you, no calm delay; No mist shall hinder, no storm shall stay; Though far you wander and long you room Through salt sea sprays and o'er white sea foam, No wind that can blow but shall speed you Home. ─Annie Johnson Flint.

三月卅一日 代禱是神聖的實際 「另有一位天使來……有許多香賜給他,要和眾聖徒的祈禱,一同獻在寶座前的金壇上。」啟示錄八章3節 這本章所談到的,豈不是嚴肅也定罪教會,不論在教訓或實行方面,工人與弟兄姊妹都沒有重視代禱的重要性嗎?在一個真實基督徒的生活中,豈不是當以代禱為不可或缺的、最重要的事情嗎?凡是真實相信並明白神話語的人,都知道當如何行。 因著神奇妙的恩典,代禱成了神救贖計劃中重要的一環——若沒有代禱,救贖的計劃不能完全實現出來。基督在天上的代禱,對於祂來到地上所開始的工作是非常重要的,但祂卻仍需要眾聖徒的代禱以達成祂的目的。試想我們所讀的:「一切都是出於神,祂藉著基督使我們與祂和好,又將勸人與祂和好的職分賜給我們。」既然和睦是由基督盡了祂的職事而成,照樣神也呼召教會盡她的一份,以成就此一工作。我們看見保羅是如何把晝夜的代禱當作成就神所託付他工作的重點。代禱乃是神的大能,在信祂的人心中工作的一個憑藉。 代禱的確是一件神聖的實際。若失去了它,教會則失去了某方面的美麗,也失去了聖靈裡的喜樂及能力,不能完成神偉大的工作。若沒有代禱,將福音傳到地極的命令就無法實現,教會也沒有能力克服軟弱或勝過世界;在傳道人及信徒的生活中,也無法進入與神每日交通的豐滿喜樂中,除非他在神所揀選的眾人中晝夜向神呼喊。 基督的教會啊,興起!興起!聽主的呼召:「不住的禱告。」不要歇息,也不要使神歇息,即或是由心的深處發出的歎息。但願神的答應是:「我因錫安必不靜默。」神的靈要顯明代禱生活的權能是神的一個實際,也是神救贖工作一個不可或缺的要素。因此也是一個真基督徒生活不可缺少的因素。 願神幫助我們認識並成全神的呼召!

三月卅一日 我們是謹慎的?還是假冒的? 「人若看見弟兄犯了不至於死的罪,就當為他祈求,神必將生命賜給他。」約翰一書五章16節 如果我們不當心神的靈在我們裡面工作的方法,我們就要變成靈性的假冒。我們看別人失敗的地方,我們不但不替他們代求,反而將我們的明察,變為批評。我們得著啟示,不是因為我們的聰明,卻是因為神的靈直接的感化。如果我們不留心神的源頭,我們就變為批評的中心,遺忘神所說的話:「……就當為他祈求,神必將生命賜給他,就是那些犯罪不致於死的」。要當心的,就是你自己的靈性沒有預備好,專以你一起的時間去糾正別人,而犯那假冒為善的罪。 神把艱難的擔負放在聖徒的身上,就是要我們辨別別人心靈上的事。祂啟示我們這些事,是要我們在祂面前擔負別人心靈的擔子,對於他們具有基督的心腸。如果我們的代求,是順著祂的路線,祂要將生命賜予那些犯罪不至於死的人。這並不是我們使神與我們的心相接觸,卻是我們激動自己,直到神將祂的心運到我們,叫我們代人祈求。 耶穌基督是否在我們心裡面代求呢?不到我們與祂合而為一,激動我們對於代求的人懷有祂的見解;祂的靈是不能在我們裡面代求的。惟願我們學得全心代求,使基督把我們看為十二分滿意的代求人。

三月卅一日 「所以我告訴你們,凡你們禱告祈求的,無論是甚麼,只要信是得著的,就必得著。」馬可福音十一章24節 信心並不是藉著意志力相信某些事會發生,然後喜樂地接受一切。換言之,信心是單純地接納神的誓言,並且付出相信的行動。 信心能使神的應許變成預言。當神的話語還是應許時,神需靠我們合作才能實現,因為我們的信心能決定成或不成。當我們憑信心行事,神的應許變成預言,而我們更覺得因為神不會說謊,祂必會成就祂所應許的。 信心是從神寶座而來的回答:「祂必成就。」信心是神聲音的迴響。讓我們從高處捕捉祂的聲音,複述祂的話語,然後帶著信心榮耀的能力戰勝一切。 傾聽神從寶座上來的回答, 接納祂的應許。 小信的人, 神已說:「這必成就。」 信心應該回答:「這會成就。」 禱告完了, 讓讚美開始, 哈利路亞! 這必成就。
