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.

三月廿日 「似乎憂愁,卻是常常快樂的。」哥林多後書六章10節 主張苦行主義者,連流淚也在禁止之列;基督人卻不然。許多時候,我們憂悶得發昏;當剪毛的剪刀碰在顫抖的肉上時、當仇敵的欺侮達到頂點時、當我們的心幾乎碎裂時,最自然我們巴不得尋找機會痛哭一場,釋出胸中的憂鬱。但是有一個比痛哭更好的方法。 航海者知道甘泉是在苦且鹹的海水中找到的;旅行家知道最美麗的花是生在最荒僻、最崎嶇的山路上的;屬靈人知道最寶貴的詩篇是在最痛苦的時候寫成的。 所以讓我們在黑暗中讚美神我們主耶穌基督的父。試煉越深,願我們的歌聲越高。親愛的,你有沒有學會這個功課呢?我們不只要忍受神的旨意、揀選神的旨意,遵行神的旨意、並且要用讚美來歡迎神的旨意。 ─譯自火中的試驗 當我輾轉於禍患的重負之下, 傷痛的心卻喃喃說, 要安詳; 不必叫喊號哭, 也不用呻吟, 緊閉嘴唇, 不讓淚珠流出眼眶。 這愛使我靈魂無所掩蔽, 苦痛與煎熬, 如煽沸湯, 最後一絲的安慰也化為烏有, 我雖不明究竟, 我仍願安詳。 這愛是神的愛, 因此我要忍耐, 靈魂啊, 我們切莫疑懷, 安詳等待, 是的, 等一會, 祂會照著祂的美意, 把我們從苦難中提拔出來。 我聽從心給我這個應許, 曾在戰抖中竭力保持安靜, 曾向天舉起無淚的眼睛, 我說, 「主啊,照您的旨意去行」。 過不久, 我心又在重負下, 斥責我的嘴唇繃緊, 滿臉愁哀。 它輕聲說, 「我們還要更進一步」, 「不但安定, 還要樂以忘憂!」 如今我和我心都在歡唱, 用不著絃樂伴奏的聲響, 在荒漠中暢飲甘泉, 受了挫折, 仍如振翅翱翔。 ─S.P.W.

March 20 "As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing." (2 Cor. 6:10.) THE stoic scorns to shed a tear; the Christian is not forbidden to weep. The soul may be dumb with excessive grief, as the shearer's scissors pass over the quivering flesh; or, when the heart is on the point of breaking beneath the meeting surges of trial, the sufferer may seek relief by crying out with a loud voice. But there is something even better. They say that springs of sweet fresh water well up amid the brine of salt seas; that the fairest Alpine flowers bloom in the wildest and most rugged mountain passes; that the noblest psalms were the outcome of the profoundest agony of soul. Be it so. And thus amid manifold trials, souls which love God will find reasons for bounding, leaping joy. Though deep call to deep, yet the lord's song will be heard in silver cadence through the night. And it is possible in the darkest hour that ever swept a human life to bless the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you learned this lesson yet? Not simply to endure God's will, nor only to choose it; but to rejoice in it with joy unspeakable and full of glory. ─Tried as by Fire. I will be still, my bruised heart faintly murmured, As o'er me rolled a crushing load of woe; The cry, the call, e'en the low moan was stifled; I pressed my lips; I barred the tear drop's flow. I will be still, although I cannot see it, The love that bares a soul and fans pain's fire; That takes away the last sweet drop of solace, Breaks the lone harp string, hides Thy precious lyre. But God is love, so i will bide me, bide me─ We'll doubt not, Soul, we will be very still; We'll wait till after while, when He shall lift us─ Yes, after while, when it shall be his will. And I did listen to my heart's brave promise; And I did quiver, struggling to be still; And I did lift my tearless eyes to Heaven, Repeating ever, "Yea, Christ, have Thy will." But soon my heart upspake from 'neath our burden, Reproved my tight-drawn lips, my visage sad: "We can do more than this, O Soul," it whispered. "We can be more than still, we can be glad!" And now my heart and I are sweetly singing─ Singing without the sound of tuneful strings; Drinking abundant waters in the desert; Crushed, and yet soaring as on eagle's wings. ─S. P. W.

三月廿日 職事的代禱 「於是禁食禱告,按手在他們頭上,就打發他們去了。」使徒行傳十三章3節 如何增加基督徒的人數,誰願個人或團體地發揮禱告的力量使人轉變、悔改,這是今天海外佈道團最重大的問題。其他的條件與計劃都較如何發揮禱告的力量為次要。 「凡是愛護且經常關心禱告的人才能遵守聖經的吩咐,不住地禱告直到得著答應,我們都承認這是必然的。對這班人來說,他們不僅守晨更且每天定時禱告,更是隨時隨刻作代禱的見證,他們從不放過神,直至神為他們戴上得勝的冠冕。」 職事的根基乃是基督的愛,這愛當初顯在主的十架上,而今天卻住在我們心中。人如此迫切於神對於世界的計劃,照樣神的兒女也必須要全心設法,使基督的愛臨到世人。而代禱則是神所定規將救贖帶給所有人的主要途徑。 要為傳道人禱告,俾使基督的生命透明而堅剛,使他們成為禱告的器皿,且被主的愛充滿,從他們身上顯出屬靈生命的權能。要為當地的基督徒禱告,使他們在外邦中明白(基督)奧秘的榮耀。就是基督在他們心中成了榮耀的盼望。 要為給人施浸的人禱告,也為所有學習事奉主的人禱告,使神話語的教訓帶著能力。特別要為著地上神的僕人們(牧師)及傳福音的人禱告,求聖靈充滿他們,使他們在世人中為基督作美好的見證人。 最重要的,要為著基督的教會禱告,使它脫離冷淡的光景,使每個信徒都能明白今天在地上生活的唯一目標,就是使基督在地上作王。 禱告: 施恩的神啊,我們的眼目注視著您,您豈不在恩典中垂聽我們的禱告,藉著聖靈,在您僕人的服事中顯出基督的大能與同在嗎?阿們。

三月廿日 對於神的友誼 「我所要作的事,豈可瞞著亞伯拉罕呢?」創世記十八章17節 與神為友的快樂:本章指出對於神真友誼的快樂,不是在祈禱中偶爾覺得神同在的快樂。因為與神接觸日多,你就無須請求祂將祂的旨意指示你。在你信仰的生活中,你便達到訓練的最後階段。當你與神發生正當關係時,你的生活就是自由自在和快樂的生活,你就是神的旨意。而且你理性所決定的就是祂的旨意,若不是這樣,祂會糾正了。你對於神以完全快樂的友誼去決定事情。祂一旦知道你的決定有了錯誤,定會糾正的;當祂來糾正的時候,最好是立時停止。 與神為友的困難:當亞伯拉罕禱告的時候,為甚麼停止呢?他尚未十分親密,便勇於前進,直到神滿足他的慾望,在他與神的關係中還有不全備的事情。無論何時,我們中途停止祈禱說:「啊!我不知道,或者不是神的旨意。」還有別的步驟可走。我們沒有耶穌與神那樣親密的關係,也沒有達到祂要我們達到的地步:「叫他們合而為一,像我們一樣。」想想你最後的祈求──是想忠於你的期望呢?還是想忠於神呢?是定意獲取聖靈的某種恩賜,還是定意獲得神呢?「你們沒有祈求以先,你們所需用的,你們的父早已知道了。」祈求的目的是進一步的知道神「要以耶和華為樂,祂就將你心裡所求的賜給你。」不住的禱告,俾能對於神本身得到完全的瞭解。

三月二十日 「……那些受洪恩又蒙所賜之義的,豈不更要因耶穌基督一人在生命中作王麼。」羅馬書五章17節 神的子民有時在難堪的環境下,拼老命地想得著公義。他們或許覺得有罪,因為他們讓試探勝過他們,或是使他們不再對神專一。當他們想法子調整情形、與神和好時,其衝突結果非常可怕。他們發現自己為靈界的——仇敵所困惑,完全無助、不知所措。 那掙扎既黑暗又淒涼,使我們似乎變得不能自力、更沒有果效。 我們很肯定在律法中的掙扎奮鬥,只能使我們被定罪,叫我們不斷失敗。若是我們不順服,神的忿怒會臨到我們,我們也會失去勇氣,甚至接近沮喪的地步。 如果受試探,一直在掙扎的聖徒能瞭解,或是記住他以前所學習到的功課,並且以基督為我們的公義,那麼能不靠律法,及單靠恩典勝過試探。正如羅馬書六章14節所說:「罪必不能作你們的主,因你們不在律法之下,乃在恩典之下。」這才是我們爭戰的秘訣。
