1:1 當猶大王約坦、亞哈斯、希西家在位的時候,摩利沙人彌迦得耶和華的默示,論撒馬利亞和耶路撒冷。 The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah--the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
1:2 萬民哪,你們都要聽!地和其上所有的,也都要側耳而聽!主耶和華從他的聖殿要見證你們的不是。 Hear, O peoples, all of you, listen, O earth and all who are in it, that the Sovereign LORD may witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. 1:3 看哪,耶和華出了他的居所,降臨步行地的高處。 Look! The LORD is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads the high places of the earth. 1:4 眾山在他以下必消化,諸谷必崩裂,如蠟化在火中,如水沖下山坡。 The mountains melt beneath him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope. 1:5 這都因雅各的罪過,以色列家的罪惡。雅各的罪過在哪裏呢?豈不是在撒馬利亞嗎?猶大的邱壇在哪裏呢?豈不是在耶路撒冷嗎? All this is because of Jacob's transgression, because of the sins of the house of Israel. What is Jacob's transgression? Is it not Samaria? What is Judah's high place? Is it not Jerusalem? 1:6 所以我必使撒馬利亞變為田野的亂堆,又作為種葡萄之處;也必將她的石頭倒在谷中,露出根基來。 <<Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones into the valley and lay bare her foundations. 1:7 她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎;她所得的財物必被火燒;所有的偶像我必毀滅;因為是從妓女雇價所聚來的,後必歸為妓女的雇價。 All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all her images. Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.>> 1:8 先知說:因此我必大聲哀號,赤腳露體而行;又要呼號如野狗,哀鳴如鴕鳥。 Because of this I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl. 1:9 因為撒馬利亞的傷痕無法醫治,延及猶大和耶路撒冷我民的城門。 For her wound is incurable; it has come to Judah. It 1:9 Or ((He)) has reached the very gate of my people, even to Jerusalem itself. 1:10 不要在迦特報告這事,總不要哭泣;我在伯‧亞弗拉滾於灰塵之中。 Tell it not in Gath; 1:10 ((Gath)) sounds like the Hebrew for ((tell.)) weep not at all. 1:10 Hebrew; Septuagint may suggest ((not in Acco.)) The Hebrew for ((in Acco)) sounds like the Hebrew for ((weep.)) In Beth Ophrah 1:10 ((Beth Ophrah)) means ((house of dust.)) roll in the dust. 1:11 沙斐的居民哪,你們要赤身蒙羞過去。撒南的居民不敢出來。伯‧以薛人的哀哭使你們無處可站。 Pass on in nakedness and shame, you who live in Shaphir. 1:11 ((Shaphir)) means ((pleasant.)) Those who live in Zaanan 1:11 ((Zaanan)) sounds like the Hebrew for ((come out.)) will not come out. Beth Ezel is in mourning; its protection is taken from you. 1:12 瑪律的居民心甚憂急,切望得好處,因為災禍從耶和華那裏臨到耶路撒冷的城門。 Those who live in Maroth 1:12 ((Maroth)) sounds like the Hebrew for ((bitter.)) writhe in pain, waiting for relief, because disaster has come from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem. 1:13 拉吉的居民哪,要用快馬套車;錫安民〔原文是女子〕的罪由你而起;以色列人的罪過在你那裏顯出。 You who live in Lachish, 1:13 ((Lachish)) sounds like the Hebrew for ((team.)) harness the team to the chariot. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you. 1:14 猶大啊,你要將禮物送給摩利設‧迦特。亞革悉的眾族必用詭詐待以色列諸王。 Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth Gath. The town of Aczib 1:14 ((Aczib)) means ((deception.)) will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel. 1:15 瑪利沙的居民哪,我必使那奪取你的來到你這裏;以色列的尊貴人〔原文是榮耀〕必到亞杜蘭。 I will bring a conqueror against you who live in Mareshah. 1:15 ((Mareshah)) sounds like the Hebrew for ((conqueror.)) He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam. 1:16 猶大啊,要為你所喜愛的兒女剪除你的頭髮,使頭光禿,要大大地光禿,如同禿鷹,因為他們都被擄去離開你。 Shave your heads in mourning for the children in whom you delight; make yourselves as bald as the vulture, for they will go from you into exile.

二月八日 「我……常與你們同在,直到世界的末了。」太廿八章20節(集註本) 不要帶著懼怕的心去看前面將臨的事。要帶著盼望去看它們,因為主是我們的主,必要帶領我們一步一步過去。祂常與你同在;你只要緊緊抓住祂的手,祂會引導你安然經過一切的;當你軟弱無力,站立不住的時候,祂會將你懷抱在祂大能的膀臂中。 不要為明天憂慮。永活的神今天既然看顧你,明天、每一天,也必定會同樣看顧你。有時祂不叫你遇見試探,有時祂加你力量使你能忍受試探。所以放心,拋棄一切焦急的意念和煩惱的想像。 ─撒勒 「耶和華是我的牧者。」(詩廿三1)「是」字在原文是現在式;不是過去式「曾是」,也不是將來式「將是」,也不是未定式「或是」,「耶和華是我的牧者」,祂現在是,祂永遠是,在主日是,在星期一也是,在一星期中每一天都是;在正月是,在十二月也是,在一年中每一月都是;在家裏是,在外鄉也是;在平安時是,在危險時也是;在豐餘時是,在缺乏時也是。在任何環境中都是。 ─戴德生 祂一聲不響為你安排, 給你無微不至的關懷, 祂擔任你的嚮導, 渡過埋伏著的陷阱與圈套。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 確實可靠, 決無乖差。 依賴神的信義, 你必會因祂而奏效。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 出乎意料的仁愛無涯, 眼不曾見, 耳不曾聞, 卻在天上為你保存。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 起初你不明白祂的意念, 這謎一樣的傑作, 似乎複雜, 最後終將祂的旨意全揭開。 祂一聲不響為你安排, 好像慈父對寵兒的關懷, 似乎除了你以外, 無人為神所鍾愛。 ─格蘭姆斯

February 8 "Lo, I am with you all the appointed days."(Matt. 28:20.) (Variorum Version.) DO not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear. Rather look at them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto; do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. ─Frances de Sales. "The Lord is my shepherd." Not was, not may be, nor will be. "The Lord is my shepherd," is on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week; is in January, is in December, and every month of the year; is at home, and is in China; is in peace, and, is in war; in abundance, and in penury. ─J. Hudson Taylor. HE will silently plan for thee, Object thou of omniscient care; God Himself undertakes to be Thy Pilot through each subtle snare. He WIll silently plan for thee, So certainly, He cannot fail! Rest on the faithfulness of God, In Him thou surely shalt prevail. He will SILENTLY plan for thee Some wonderful surprise of love. Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard, But it is kept for thee above. He will silently PLAN for thee, His purposes shall all unfold; The tangled skein shall shine at last, A masterpiece of skill untold. He will silently plan FOR THEE, Happy child of a Father's care, As though no other claimed His love, But thou alone to Him wert dear. ─E. Mary Grimes.

二月八日 單獨親近神 「耶穌自己禱告。」路加福音九章18節 「(祂)就獨自又退到山上去了。」約翰福音六章15節 人需要神,神造人是為了祂自己。要人在裡面單獨地得著祂的生命和喜樂。 人需要單獨的親近神。但是人因為有肉體和世界的情慾,便墮落到暫時並可見之事物的權勢底下。他的恢復就是重新回到父的家裡,活在父的同在、父的慈愛,和父的交通裡面。救恩就是帶領人愛慕,並喜悅與神同在。 人需要單獨的與神同在。沒有這個,神就得不著機會照到人的心裡,藉著祂聖潔的工作改變人的本性,並且神的豐滿也不能充滿到人的裡面。 人需要單獨的與神同在,將他自己降服在祂的聖潔、祂的生命、祂慈愛的能力面前。基督在地上的時候,也需要這個。若是祂沒有常常離開那些圍繞祂的事物,去單獨親近神,祂就不能在肉身中活出那一個「子」的生命。而這一個對於我們更是何等的需要呢! 當我們的主給我們那祝福的命令,叫我們進入我們的內室,關上門,單獨禱告我們在暗中的父的時候,祂也給我們應許,父必要聽這樣的禱告,並且在人的面前,並在我們的生活中大大地報答我們。 單獨的親近神——這是真實禱告的秘訣,也是在禱告裡真實的能力;並且是真的、活的,與神面對面的相交和事奉的能力。若沒有每天單獨親近神,就沒有真的、深的與神談話;也沒有真的、深的聖潔;同時也不能穿上聖靈和能力,更沒有長久的平安和喜樂。除了多多長久的單獨親近神之外,就沒有進入聖潔之路。 每天早晨實習隱密處的禱告,是一個何等不可估量的權利呢!讓我們的心放在這上面尋找、尋見,並碰見神。我的心哪,要花時間來單獨親近神。以後你就要對那些以為五分鐘的禱告就夠了的人,覺得驚奇了。 「我的王,我的神阿,求您垂聽我呼求的聲音,因為我向您禱告。」(詩五2)

二月八日 及時和不斷的成聖 「願賜平安的神,親自使你們全然成聖。」帖撒羅尼迦前書五章23—24節 當我們祈求成聖的時候,是準備遵照這兩節聖經的標準麼?我們把「成聖」這名詞看得太輕了。我們準備為成聖付上任何代價嗎?成聖的代價,是要我們對於人世的興趣縮到最小,對於神的興趣擴到無限的大。成聖的意思,是聚精會神於神之一點。那便是說,把身心靈的各種精力專為神的旨意保存著。我們準備讓神在我們裡面施行祂所派遣的一切麼?神在我們裡面的工作告成以後,我們是否像耶穌那樣順服神呢?「因他們的緣故,我自己成聖。」我們之中有些人沒有得到成聖的經驗,原因是我們沒有從神的觀點來領悟成聖的意義。成聖的意義,是與耶穌合而為一,讓支配祂的品格來支配我們。我們要準備付上相當的代價,代價便是我們裡面一切不屬神的事情。 我們準備接受使徒保羅祈禱的指揮麼?我們準備說:「主啊,願您使我成聖,就如您藉著恩典使罪人所能達到的成聖一樣。」耶穌禱告說,惟願我們與祂合而為一,正如祂與父合而為一一樣。聖靈在人裡面唯一事工,是叫人與耶穌基督發生家族的相像,脫去一切與祂不像的成分。我們準備分別自己,讓聖靈在我們裡面操持一切麼?

二月八日 「並不是我們憑自己能承擔甚麼事,我們所能承擔的,乃是出於神」哥林多後書三章5節 「神能將多樣的恩惠,多多地加給你們,使你們凡事常常充足」哥林多後書九章8節 不足及充足是完全相反的兩個名詞,然而得知自己的不足、認識神的充足,卻是得勝基督徒的秘訣。 當我們發現且承認自己完全無助時,我們就可以從神那裡不斷地得到屬靈的糧食。舊約的時候,神使人看見自己的失敗;新約時,神將基督的豐富顯現給世人看。神能將各樣的恩惠加給我們,但我們必須先接受我們不足的事實。 簡言之,基督徒得以完全的重點,在於不斷地否定自我的義、繼續接受基督的義。當我們接納我們空無所有,以及敗壞的事實,才能使我們祈求祂的恩惠。然而,承認知道我們的不足,卻不抓住神多樣的恩惠,是極為可能的事。所以我們必須靠著信心,不得到完全的祝福絕不罷手。
