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.

三月十四日 「摩西就挨近神所在的幽暗之中。」出埃及記廿章21節 神今天仍有祂隱藏的祕密，向聰明通達人藏起來。可是你不必怕它們；儘管在神面前接受你所不解的東西；忍耐等候。不久祂要指示你黑暗中的寶貝，隱密中的榮耀。 不要怕進前面的黑雲。神在其中。「有火煉的試驗臨到你們，不要以為奇怪，（似乎是遭遇非常的事）倒要歡喜；因為你們是與基督一同受苦。」（彼前四 12、13）當你感到孤單的時候，須知神在咫尺。祂在黑雲中，等候你進去親近祂。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 這種遭遇， 可怕陰沈， 它預示風雨來臨。 雲漸漸迷漫開來， 一陣緊一陣， 地暗天昏， 雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 這是耶和華的凱旋車， 載著祂前來給你溫存， 雲是祂的面紗， 祂的衣襟。 你受不住那樣的光輝， 所以要遮掩祂的聖容。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 何等可怕的考驗， 如失去了可愛的親人， 又如威脅更如誘惑， 你將不知所措， 心迷神昏， 但雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 你是否遇上了衰老病痛和死亡的陰雲？ 這些雲將皆在你奄奄一息時來到， 正像駕舟歸航， 別怕港口黑暗； 死亡之雲雖然寒冷陰沈， 終將鍍上金邊， 逐漸光明， 神就在這雲裏來臨。 某醫師一天站在一座高山頂上，觀看山下的陣雨；他看見一頭鷹衝出黑雲，向上高飛，身上帶著的水珠，在日光下閃爍，好似金鋼鑽一般美麗。如果山下沒有陣雨，牠必是仍在谷中。人生的苦難使我們向上近神。 ─選

March 14 "Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was." (Exod. 20:21.) ＧOD has still His hidden secrets, hidden from the wise and prudent. Do not fear them; be content to accept things that you cannot understand; wait patiently. Presently He will reveal to you the treasures of dardness, the riches of the glory of the mystery. Mystery is only the veil of God's face. Do not be afraid to enter the cloud that is settling down on your life. God is in it. the other side is radiant with His glory. "Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you; but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's suffierings." When you seem loneliest and most forsaken, God is nigh. He is in the dark cloud. Plunge into the blackness of its darkness without flinching; under the shrouding curtain of His pavilion you will find God awaiting you. ─Selected. "Hast thou a cloud? Something that is dark and full of dread; A messenger of tempest overhead? A something that is darkening the sky; A something growing darker bye and bye; A something that thou fear'st will burst at last; A cloud that doth a deep, long shadow cast, God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? It is Jehovah's triumph car: in this He rideth to thee, o'er the wide abyss. It is the robe in which He wraps His form; For He doth gird Him with the flashing storm. It is the veil in which He hides the light Of His fair face, too dazzling for thy sight. God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A trial that is terrible to thee? A black temptation threatening to see? A loss of some dear one long thine own? A mist, a veiling, bringing the unknown? A mystery that unsubstantial seems: A cloud between thee and the sun's bright beams? God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A sickness─weak old age─distress and death? These clouds will scatter at thy last faint breath. Fear not the clouds that hover o'er thy barque, Making the harbour's entrance dire and dark; The cloud of death, though misty, chill and cold, Will yet grow radiant with a fringe of gold. GOD cometh in that cloud." As Dr. C. stood on a high peak of the Rocky Mountains watching a storm raging below him, an eagle came up through the clouds, and soared away towards the sun and the water upon him glistened in the sunlight like diamonds. Had it not been for the storm he might have remained in the valley. The sorrows of life cause us to rise towards God.

三月十四日 禱告的所在 「這些人……都同心合意地恆切禱告。」使徒行傳一章14節 基督臨離世前曾囑咐祂的教會四個要點：「要等候父所應許的。」「聖靈要降在你們身上，你們就必得著能力。」「你們要為我作見證。」「在耶路撒冷直到地極。」 同心恆切的禱告、聖靈的能力、為活的基督作活的見證人，從耶路撒冷直到地極——這些才是新約中的真正福音、服事，及教會的標記。一個同心意禱告的教會，一種充滿了聖靈的服事，為著活的基督作活的見證的一班人，報好消息給地上的每個人——這才是基督所建立的教會，也唯有這樣的教會才能勝過全世界。 基督升天之後，使徒們立刻知道他們的工作是甚麼，那就是繼續同心合意地恆切禱告，被基督的愛及聖靈捆在一起成為一體。就是這樣他們才得到奇妙的能力，從天上的神而臨到世上的人。 他們的責任乃是同心合意恆切地禱告，等候聖靈的能力；就是從高天所賜下的能力，使他們能直到地極為基督作見證。一個禱告的教會，一個被聖靈充滿的教會，一個見證的教會，以全地作見證的目標及範圍─這才是一個耶穌基督的教會。 只要教會守住這個特性，它就有能力得勝。但若她落到世界影響之下，那麼她將失去那屬天超然的美麗及能力。禱告將多麼不忠實，聖靈的工作也是那麼微弱，基督的見證流於形式，對於直到地極的託付何其不忠！ 禱告： 可稱頌的主耶穌，施恩予您的教會，求您賜下恆切禱告的靈像以往一樣，使您的教會能證實那與您同在的能力與教會同在，並為您作見證，使整個的世界都服在您的腳下。阿們。

三月十四日 順從 「順從誰，就作誰的奴僕。」羅馬書六章16節 想要察覺那支配我的權柄，第一件事，是要認可我自己要像這樣的被支配。如果我做我自己的奴僕，那我自己是應當負責的；因為我已經轉回頭來服從了自己。同樣，如果我順從神，那麼我應該自動的歸向祂。 在幼年時代歸順自私的人，自會覺得自私是世上最不易擺脫的事。人類心靈裡沒有力量打破所養成的奴性。在一秒鐘中，你順從了慾念（須記取慾念的意思：「我要立時得到」，無論是肉慾是意慾），僅僅只有一次，也許你咒詛自己不該如此，然而你是做了那件事的奴隸。要想掙脫，人是沒有力量的，只有救贖之力。你得完全甘心，依從那能擊退支配你的東西的一位，就是主耶穌基督。「祂用膏膏我，叫我傳福音給貧窮的人」。 我們在小事上感覺如此──「啊！我能隨隨便便改掉這個習慣。」你不能，你會覺得習慣絕對支配了你，因為你是甘心依從它。容易說──「祂能破除種種桎梏」，而同時自己作自己的奴僕。要想破除人類生活的任何奴性，除依從耶穌外，別無他法。

三月十四日 「我們原是祂的工作……」以弗所書二章10節 主耶穌差遣我們事奉祂，不是藉著我們自己的能力，乃是靠祂的來源和力量。以弗所書二章10節說：「我們原是祂的工作，在基督耶穌裡造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是神所豫備叫我們行的。」換言之，我們並不需豫備什麼，只要隨時依靠基督，就能應付生命中任何情況的需要。 我們必須靠信心接受神所賜的力量，繼續為祂工作，相信祂與我們同在，並且是這住在我們裡面的智慧、信心、愛、禱告、力量，以及我們工作所需的恩惠和恩賜。在信心這件事上，我們或許覺得軟弱、無助，甚至感覺不到能力的存在。然而只要我們相信祂，繼續前進，祂就必成為我們的能力，讓我們結果子。 我們最有益的事奉，乃是能在曠野中結出果實來，因為那果實是在最不毛之地所生出來的。何西阿書二章14—15節說：「後來我必勸導他，領他到曠野……他從那裡出來，我必賜他葡萄園……。」所以讓我們學習靠信心事奉、與主同行。那麼將來我們就能收穫信心的果實，看到許多得救的靈魂。而我們生命中所結的果實，更會在永恆中完全留存下來。
