1:1 俄巴底亞得了耶和華的默示。論以東說:我從耶和華那裏聽見信息,並有使者被差往列國去,說:起來吧,一同起來與以東爭戰! The vision of Obadiah.This is what the Sovereign LORD says about Edom-- We have heard a message from the LORD: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, <<Rise, and let us go against her for battle>>--
1:2 我使你─以東在列國中為最小的,被人大大藐視。 <<See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. 1:3 住在山穴中、居所在高處的啊,你因狂傲自欺,心裏說:誰能將我拉下地去呢? The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks :3 Or ((of Sela)) and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, <Who can bring me down to the ground?> 1:4 你雖如大鷹高飛,在星宿之間搭窩,我必從那裏拉下你來。這是耶和華說的。 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,>> r declares the LORD. 1:5 盜賊若來在你那裏,或強盜夜間而來─你何竟被剪除─豈不偷竊直到夠了呢?摘葡萄的若來到你那裏,豈不剩下些葡萄呢? <<If thieves came to you, if robbers in the night-- Oh, what a disaster awaits you-- would they not steal only as much as they wanted? If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes? 1:6 以掃的隱密處何竟被搜尋?他隱藏的寶物何竟被查出? But how Esau will be ransacked, his hidden treasures pillaged! 1:7 與你結盟的都送你上路,直到交界;與你和好的欺騙你,且勝過你;與你一同吃飯的設下網羅陷害你;在你心裏毫無聰明。 All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive and overpower you; those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, :7 The meaning of the Hebrew for this clause is uncertain. but you will not detect it. 1:8 耶和華說:到那日,我豈不從以東除滅智慧人?從以掃山除滅聰明人? <<In that day,>> declares the LORD, <<will I not destroy the wise men of Edom, men of understanding in the mountains of Esau? 1:9 提幔哪,你的勇士必驚惶,甚至以掃山的人都被殺戮剪除。 Your warriors, O Teman, will be terrified, and everyone in Esau's mountains will be cut down in the slaughter. 1:10 因你向兄弟雅各行強暴,羞愧必遮蓋你,你也必永遠斷絕。 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever. 1:11 當外人擄掠雅各的財物,外邦人進入他的城門,為耶路撒冷拈鬮的日子,你竟站在一旁,像與他們同夥。 On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. 1:12 你兄弟遭難的日子,你不當瞪眼看著;猶大人被滅的日子,你不當因此歡樂;他們遭難的日子,你不當說狂傲的話。 You should not look down on your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble. 1:13 我民遭災的日子,你不當進他們的城門;他們遭災的日子,你不當瞪眼看著他們受苦;他們遭災的日子,你不當伸手搶他們的財物; You should not march through the gates of my people in the day of their disaster, nor look down on them in their calamity in the day of their disaster, nor seize their wealth in the day of their disaster. 1:14 你不當站在岔路口剪除他們中間逃脫的;他們遭難的日子,你不當將他們剩下的人交付仇敵。 You should not wait at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor hand over their survivors in the day of their trouble. 1:15 耶和華降罰的日子臨近萬國。你怎樣行,他也必照樣向你行;你的報應必歸到你頭上。 <<The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. 1:16 你們猶大人在我聖山怎樣喝了苦杯,萬國也必照樣常常地喝;且喝且咽,他們就歸於無有。 Just as you drank on my holy hill, so all the nations will drink continually; they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been. 1:17 在錫安山必有逃脫的人,那山也必成聖;雅各家必得原有的產業。 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will possess its inheritance. 1:18 雅各家必成為大火;約瑟家必為火焰;以掃家必如碎秸;火必將他燒著吞滅。以掃家必無餘剩的。這是耶和華說的。 The house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame; the house of Esau will be stubble, and they will set it on fire and consume it. There will be no survivors from the house of Esau.>> r The LORD has spoken. 1:19 南地的人必得以掃山;高原的人必得非利士地,也得以法蓮地和撒馬利亞地;便雅憫人必得基列。 People from the Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau, and people from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead. 1:20 在迦南人中被擄的以色列眾人必得地直到撒勒法;在西法拉中被擄的耶路撒冷人必得南地的城邑。 This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan will possess (((the land))) as far as Zarephath; the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the towns of the Negev. 1:21 必有拯救者上到錫安山,審判以掃山;國度就歸耶和華了。 Deliverers will go up on :21 Or ((from)) Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the LORD's.

一月二日 「這圍殿的旁屋,越高越寬。因旁屋圍殿懸疊而上;所以越上越寬,從下一層,由中一層,到上一層。」以西結書四一章7節 願你前程永遠向高向上, 今天我就為此禱告而瞻望; 隨著歲月推移,季節更新, 願你前程永遠向高向上。 願你天天繼續向高向上, 你的前途等你去開創, 願你繼續向高向上, 一直到救主的身旁。 雖然苦難折磨你, 悲愴臨到你, 你仍要向高向上, 魔鬼設計誘你離開基督, 但你仍要向高向上。 能在平地上馳驅,不該就算知足,我們還該力求登峰造極。在山頂上,露珠何等光明、美麗,空氣多麼清潔、新鮮,居民何其幽逸、清高,他們一推窗就可望見新耶路撒冷! 多少信徒甘心樂意地過著礦工一般的生活——終日不見天日。他們的臉上原該膏著天上的喜樂油,可是卻抹著淚珠。他們原該在宮殿頂上散步,欣賞利巴嫩的美景,可是卻滿足於牢獄中的枯萎。醒來罷,信徒們,離開你的平地,努力向上罷! 丟去你的倦懶、冷,以及一切攔阻你向上追求基督的。讓基督作你的源頭、你的中心,要讓祂在萬有上居首位。不要滿意你目前所有的。渴望一個更高、更貴、更豐、更富的生命。向著天!追求更近神! ─司布真 我願攀登絕頂, 沾得一縷神的榮光; 到達之前, 我仍要不斷祈求, 主啊! 引我升向更上方。 我們中間沒有多少人真是盡我們所能的活著。我們留戀在平地上,因為我們怕攀山越嶺。山程的崎嶇、峭峻,寒了我們的心,因此我們終身耽擱在霧谷中,從不會瞭解山頂上的佳境,啊,寬容自己的損失是何其大的啊!只要我們肯決心登高尋求神,前面有極大的榮耀和祝福等著我們。 ─密勒

January 2 "And there was on enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst."(Ezek. 41.7.) "Still upward be thine onward course: For this I pray today; Still upward as the years go by, And seasons pass away. "Still upward in this comping year. Thy path is all untried: Still upward may'st thou journey on, Close by thy Savior's side. "Still upward e'en though sorrow come, And trials crush thine heart; Still upward may they draw thy soul, With Christ to walk apart. We ought not to rest content in the mists of the valley when the summit of Tabor awaits us. How pure are the dews of the hills, how fresh is the mountain air, how rich the fare of the dwellers aloft, whose windows look into the New Jerusalem! Many saints are content to live like men in coal mines, who see not the sun. Tears may their faces when they might anoint them with celestial oil. Satisfied I am that many a believer pines in a dungeon when he might walk on the palace roof, and view the goodly land and Lebanon. Rouse thee, O believer, from thy low condition! Cast away thy sloth, the lethargy, thy coldness, or whatever interferes with thy chaste and pure love to Christ. Make Him the source, the center, and the circumference of all thy soul's range of delight. Rest no longer satisfied with thy dwarfish attainments. Aspire to a higher, a nobler, a fuller life. Upward to heaven! Nearer to God! ─Spurgeon. "I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I'll pray, till heaven I've found, Lord, lead me on to higher ground!" Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self-indulgence, what glory awaits us if only we had courage for the mountain climb, what blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God. ─J. R. M. "Too low they build who build beneath the stars."

一月二日 與神交通 「我愛你們,正如父愛我一樣,你們要常在我的愛裡。」約翰福音十五章9節 神格中的三個身位,乃是父,子,靈。我們每一個人,都是具有位格的個人,與其他人雖有相當的關係,卻都有分別。照樣,神也要向我們啟示祂自己是一位有位格的神。我們所蒙的神聖呼召,就是來和神有交通。 神非常渴望與人有交通。但是罪卻來到人和神的中間成了隔牆。連那些自以為認識神的基督徒,在他們個人與神之間這種愛的關係上,也常常忽略了,甚至認為是無關緊要。 許多人相信,當他們悔改歸主的時候,他們的罪就得了赦免。他們相信神悅納了他們,他們就能到天堂。他們也相信,他們應當盡力遵行神的旨意。但他們卻很少想到,就是地上作父親的,和他的孩子,也有天倫的快樂,所以他們也更應該天天和神有這種蒙福的交通。 神賜下祂的兒子耶穌基督,為要將我們帶到祂面前。但只有當我們密切的活在與耶穌基督交通的時候,纔能成為可能。我們與基督的關係,乃是繫在祂對於我們的愛上。對於這個深厚柔細的大愛,我們自己沒法報答。但是聖靈要在我們裡面作這個工。為此我們必須每天把自己從世界分別出來,憑著信心歸向主耶穌,這樣祂纔能將祂的愛厚厚地澆灌在我們心裡,使我們向著祂也能充滿了愛。 親愛的信徒,要安靜默念這件事。主耶穌說:「愛我的必蒙我父愛他,我也要愛他。」(約十四21)我們把握時間來與主交通。把你的愛告訴祂,對祂說:「主阿!您已經深深的愛上了我,我也何等渴慕愛您勝過一切。」

一月二日 你糊里糊塗地出去嗎? 「亞伯拉罕……出去的時候,還不知往那裡去。」希伯來書十一章8節 你曾像這樣糊里糊塗地出去嗎?如果這樣,人們問你,你便無以回答了。「你將做甚麼?」在基督教事工上,這是一個不易回答的問題。你不知你將要做甚麼,不要緊;但有一件事是應當知道的──神知道祂正在做甚麼。不斷地矯正你對神的態度、靜觀事情的變化、完全信賴你的神吧!只有這種態度叫你永遠驚奇,就是你不知道神將要做甚麼。每天清晨醒來,照著神的信心「出去」。「不要為你的生命憂慮……也不要為你的肉體打算。」……在你未委託神之前所憂慮的事,可以不憂慮了。你曾經問過祂將做甚麼嗎?祂絕不告知你。神不告知你祂將做甚麼;祂只啟示你祂是誰。你相信神妙莫測的神並歸服祂嗎?一直到你對祂所做的任何事情一點也不再驚奇了? 若你所認識的神,是你與神最接近之時所認識的神,那麼憂慮便是一個極大的錯誤了。讓生命的態度,因信賴神的心,不斷地向前推進。你的生命定有一種不可思議的吸力──使我們的主耶穌基督得到滿足的吸力。你應當超過定見、超過信經、超過經驗,甚至於超過信仰,直到你與神之間沒有一絲兒間隔。

一月二日 「我必使你們順從我的律例」以西結書卅六章27節 屬靈生命的最高境界,乃是自然,如以西結河中湧流的河水完全不費力的情況。一個有經驗泳者在這河中會停止掙扎,因為他會隨著無法抗拒的激流而去。 當神帶領我們,使我們的靈命及習性成為如自然的脈動般時,那時我們就可以享受在祂神聖的豐盛生命裡。 這些屬靈的習性絕不是瞬間的產物,而是慢慢地培養和被建立出來的。開始時,這些習性的養成與任何一種習慣的形成一樣,乃是一種堅決的意志行為。藉著不斷重覆,這些習性才能定型。第一個階段,我們不僅要下功夫、做正確的選擇,還必須堅定立場、堅持到底。如果我們努力不懈,這些行為才會成為我們的第二天性,而且化成推動我們按習慣做事的力量。 聖靈願意在我們基督徒生命中的每一環,都能培養出一些這樣的習性。假使我們一開始就以信心順服祂,那麼我們不僅會很快地擁有順服的心,甚至會視順服為愉快的事。
