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.

三月十二日 「那一晝一夜,耶和華使東風颳在埃及地上,到了早晨,東風把蝗蟲颳了來。……於是法老急忙召了摩西、亞倫來,耶和華轉了極大的西風,把蝗蟲颳起,吹入紅海,在埃及的四境連一個也沒有留下。」出埃及記十章13、16、19節 我們看神怎樣利用暴風拯救以色列人脫離殘酷的法老;還有神在表顯祂最大的神權時─神最後一次對付埃及的軍隊─也利用大東風(十四章21節)。當時以色列人都以為他們的處境太危急,太殘酷了─—前面是紅海,後面是追兵,兩旁都是高聳的山巖,斷絕了一切逃生的希望。以色列人在這時候只能彀仰望耶和華的拯救了。可是祂的拯救是大東風。這真出他們意外。可怕的風加增他們的驚慌,四周的寒冷凍得他們戰慄。他們怨神的拯救無非催逼他們死得快一點。恐怕那時他們全營的呼聲是:「我們死啦!埃及人追及我們了。」 正在絕望的時候,榮耀的勝利來了。吼聲可怕的東風把浪擊退,把海吹乾,以色列人向前走去,進入神的保護和慈愛中。兩旁是水晶的牆,前面是耶和華的榮光。終夜都是這樣;到了天一亮,最後一個以色列人也上了岸,大東風的使命便完成了。 於是以色列人向耶和華唱歌說:「成就他命的狂風……都當讚美耶和華。」(詩一四八8、12) 「仇敵說我要追趕,我要追上,我要分擄物…您叫風一吹,海就把他們淹沒,他們如鉛沉在大水之中。」(出十五9、10) 到有一天,我們要站在玻璃海上,拿著神的琴;與眾聖徒一同唱神僕人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌說:「眾聖之王阿,您的方法義哉,誠哉」(啟十五3,直譯) 如今你只覺得這大風暴的不可思議;將來你必看見威脅你的敵人,在戰慄恐怖的夜裏,殲滅淨盡。 如今你只注意到損失;將來你必見到祂為何打擊那已開始桎梧你的罪惡。 如今你因風嘯雷鳴而畏縮;將來你必知道祂如何擊退那滅絕生命的洪水,為你們開闢道路,通往那應許的福地。 ─皮爾斯 風雖猖狂奔放, 我的信心仍在歌唱。 我知道這不會傷害我, 神附在它的翅膀之上

March 12 "The Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts....Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste....And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt." (Exod. 10:13, 19.) SEE how in the olden times, when the Lord fought for Israel against the cruel Pharaoh, the stormy winds wrought out their deliverance; and yet again, in that grandest display of power─the last blow that God struck at the proud defiance of Egypt. A strange, almost cruel thing it must have seemed to Israel to be hemmed in by such a host of dangers─in front the wild sea defying them, on either hand the rocky heights cutting off all hope of escape, the night of hurricane gathering over them. It was as if that first deliverance had come only to hand them over to more certain death. Completing the terror there rang out the cry: "The Egyptians are upon us!" When it seemed they were trapped for the foe, then came the glorious triumph. Forth swept the stormy wind and beat back the waves, and the hosts of Israel marched forward, down into the path of the great deep─a way arched over with God's protecting love. On either hand were the crystal walls glowing in the light of the glory of the Lord; and high above them swept the thunder of the storm. So on through all that night; and when, at dawn of the next day, the last of Israel's host set foot upon the other shore, the work of the stormy wind was done. Then sang Israel unto the Lord the song of the "stormy wind fulfilling his word." "The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil....Thou didst blow with the wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters." One day, by God's great mercy, we, too, shall stand upon the sea of glass, having the harps of God. then we shall sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints." We shall know then how the stormy winds have wrought out our deliverance. Now you see only the mystery of this great sorrow; then you shall see how the threatening enemy was swept away in the wild night of fear and grief. Now you look only at the loss; then you shall see how it struck at the evil that had begun to rivet its fetters upon you. Now you shrink from the howling winds and muttering thunders; then you shall see how they beat back the waters of destruction, and opened up your way to the goodly land of promise. ─Mark Guy Pearse. "Though winds are wild, And the gale unleashed, My trusting heart still sings: I know that they mean No harm to me, He rideth on their wings."

三月十二日 神的旨意和我們的意念 「願您的旨意成全。」馬太福音廿六章42節 神的最大特權乃是天上地上一切事物,都將照祂的旨意成全。當神按著祂自己的形像造人時,首要地,神要使祂所造的人與祂有完全同一的願望。能與神相似乃人最大的榮耀——思想意念都與神相同。人成了神在肉體的具體顯出,並使神的願望能以成就。 當神造人時,給人意志並能來揀選他所該作的,祂將自己限制於祂的旨意中。當人墮落之後,落到神仇敵的掌握中;神無限的愛又開始一件偉大的工作,要將人從仇敵手中奪回來,成就祂自己的旨意。意念在神的裡面,也在人裡面,成了一個推動的力量。正如人落在追求屬世事物的慾望生活中,神必須救贖他、教育他,使他能過著與神相合的生活,神的目的乃是要人心中的意念與祂的意念完全相合。 神在這方面的最大救法,乃是差遣祂的兒子到世上來,在祂的人性裡面再一次顯出神的性情、神一切的旨意。祂在禱告中甘願獻上自己,來成全神一切的旨意,在肉身中的神子在極大痛苦中禱告:「願您的意旨成全。」祂甚至於在被神離棄時仍順服到底,如此才能使一直欺騙著人的權勢被征服,使人得蒙拯救。由於父與子之間這種奇妙完全的和諧,當神的兒子禱告「願父的旨意成就」時,神偉大的救贖才得完成。 如今正是特別蒙拯救的日子,信徒必須首先為自己,然後為別人代禱時向神說:「願您的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。」當我們這樣為教會——包括神家中所有的牧師、傳道人、剛強的及得救的信徒——為著那未蒙恩的,不論是掛名的基督徒或是異教徒呼籲的時候,我們有特權知道我們乃是為著神的旨意禱告,並且藉著禱告使神的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。

三月十二日 撇下所有的 「彼得就對祂說,看哪!我們已經撇下所有的跟從您了。」馬可福音十章28節 總而言之,我們的主所說的撇棄,是祂自己的撇棄,不是門徒有所為而為的撇棄。當心撇棄裡含有商業的氣味──「我委身於神,是因為我要脫離罪惡,因為要成聖。」這是我們與神有正式關係的結果,但是不一定是基督教根本的性質。撇棄是無所為而為的。我們已經是商業化了,來到神面前為的有所得,而不是為神。這好像說:「主啊!我所要的不是你,是我自己;我要自己潔淨,要充滿聖靈;要被放在你的陳列室中,使我得以說:「這是神為我所行的。」如果我們以一點點給神,換更多回來,在我們的撇棄裡就全無聖靈;這是卑陋自私的商業興趣。我們抓著了天,我們脫離了罪,我們生來有用於神──這些事在真正的撇棄裡不能有所考慮;因為撇棄是出於我們完全自願的去為耶穌基督。 當我們遇著實際關係的時候,把耶穌基督置於何地呢?我們多數是離棄祂──「是的,主啊!我聽見了您的呼召;但是我的母親妻子和我自己的利益阻擋了我,叫我不能再進一步了。」於是耶穌回答說:「你不配作我的門徒。」 撇棄的試驗是要超過愛人的頸項。走過吧!為神的撇棄必要補償你由撇棄所受的損失。當心我們對於神之半撇棄半不撇棄。僅僅知道在理想中撇棄,這是我們之中大多數人的毛病。

三月十二日 「他們在曠野荒地漂流……」詩篇一百零七篇4節 所有為神爭戰的人,都應該不再在乎人好聽的意見和諂媚的讚美。即使好聽的意見是從神的子民而來,我們也不能破例。因為那狡猾的惡者能很容易地使這樣的話語滿足我們肉體的驕傲。 雖然神能藉同工使我們肯定所做的,但是我們絕不能把得到認同視為行事的動機。因為這種動機是毒藥,會剝奪我們能力。我們應該歸榮耀給神的能力。但是有時我們必須以在曠野荒地單獨漂流為滿足。 屬神的人必須單獨地與神同行,他必須以瞭解神是無所不知的為滿足。雖然我們的老我能從他人的臉色、看法和同情得到慰藉。雖然、將別人的幫助視為是「弟兄的愛」來欺騙自己;但是事實上,靠人的同情不僅是屬地的,而且是不可靠的。
