1:1 以色列王大衛兒子所羅門的箴言: The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
1:2 要使人曉得智慧和訓誨,分辨通達的言語, for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; 1:3 使人處事領受智慧、仁義、公平、正直的訓誨, for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; 1:4 使愚人靈明,使少年人有知識和謀略, for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young-- 1:5 使智慧人聽見,增長學問,使聰明人得著智謀, let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance-- 1:6 使人明白箴言和譬喻,懂得智慧人的言詞和謎語。 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. 1:7 敬畏耶和華是知識的開端;愚妄人藐視智慧和訓誨。 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools 1:7 The Hebrew words rendered ((fool)) in Proverbs, and often elsewhere in the Old Testament, denote one who is morally deficient. despise wisdom and discipline. 1:8 我兒,要聽你父親的訓誨,不可離棄你母親的法則〔或譯:指教〕; Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. 1:9 因為這要作你頭上的華冠,你項上的金鍊。 They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. 1:10 我兒,惡人若引誘你,你不可隨從。 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. 1:11 他們若說:你與我們同去,我們要埋伏流人之血,要蹲伏害無罪之人; If they say, <<Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul; 1:12 我們好像陰間,把他們活活吞下;他們如同下坑的人,被我們囫圇吞了; let's swallow them alive, like the grave, 1:12 Hebrew ((Sheol)) and whole, like those who go down to the pit; 1:13 我們必得各樣寶物,將所擄來的,裝滿房屋; we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; 1:14 你與我們大家同分,我們共用一個囊袋; throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse>>-- 1:15 我兒,不要與他們同行一道,禁止你腳走他們的路。 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; 1:16 因為,他們的腳奔跑行惡;他們急速流人的血, for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood. 1:17 好像飛鳥,網羅設在眼前仍不躲避。 How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds! 1:18 這些人埋伏,是為自流己血;蹲伏,是為自害己命。 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves! 1:19 凡貪戀財利的,所行之路都是如此;這貪戀之心乃奪去得財者之命。 Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it. 1:20 智慧在街市上呼喊,在寬闊處發聲, Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares; 1:21 在熱鬧街頭喊叫,在城門口,在城中發出言語, at the head of the noisy streets 1:21 Hebrew; Septuagint ((/ on the tops of the walls)) she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech: 1:22 說:你們愚昧人喜愛愚昧,褻慢人喜歡褻慢,愚頑人恨惡知識,要到幾時呢? <<How long will you simple ones 1:22 The Hebrew word rendered ((simple)) in Proverbs generally denotes one without moral direction and inclined to evil. love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? 1:23 你們當因我的責備回轉;我要將我的靈澆灌你們,將我的話指示你們。 If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you. 1:24 我呼喚,你們不肯聽從;我伸手,無人理會; But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, 1:25 反輕棄我一切的勸戒,不肯受我的責備。 since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my rebuke, 1:26 你們遭災難,我就發笑;驚恐臨到你們,我必嗤笑。 I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you-- 1:27 驚恐臨到你們,好像狂風;災難來到,如同暴風;急難痛苦臨到你們身上。 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. 1:28 那時,你們必呼求我,我卻不答應,懇切地尋找我,卻尋不見。 <<Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. 1:29 因為,你們恨惡知識,不喜愛敬畏耶和華, Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD, 1:30 不聽我的勸戒,藐視我一切的責備, since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, 1:31 所以必吃自結的果子,充滿自設的計謀。 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. 1:32 愚昧人背道,必殺己身;愚頑人安逸,必害己命。 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; 1:33 惟有聽從我的,必安然居住,得享安靜,不怕災禍。 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.>> 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改,2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能,2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可,顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用!! 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(01月12日)
一月十二日 「無論何時你們看見你們自己被各樣試煉圍困了,都要以為大喜樂。因為知道你們的信心經過試驗,就生忍耐。」雅各書一章2—3節 神常圍困祂自己的兒女們,為著要訓練他們;可是人總錯看祂的圍困,誤會祂的作為。約伯就是這樣,他說:「人的道路既然遮隱,神又把他四面圍困,為何有光賜給他呢?」(伯三23)啊,神的兒女們!試煉雖然圍困我們,仍有許多隙縫可以透光進來的。荊棘不會來刺你,除非你靠著它。並且那些傷你的話語、使你痛心的信札、親朋的棄絕、經濟的壓迫……神都知道。如果,你敢完全信靠祂,祂必與你表同情,並且負你一切的責任。 荊棘編成的藩籬, 被寒冬剝奪了青翠, 剩下光禿的樹枝, 滿眼鍼扎尖刺。 春來了, 像花朵怒放, 抽出了綠色枝條, 嫩葉紛披,婆娑掩隱, 如何地青蔥美嬌。 別以為悲哀多麼惱人, 卻是天賜的宏恩, 免得任性的靈魂, 陷入更深的糾紛。 為了免去我們沈淪地獄, 不用玫瑰花作護佑的屏風, 我們的四周, 祗有觸著生痛的荊籬重重。 荊棘刺得我們疼痛, 還要埋怨創口流血, 多麼的嚴厲凜烈, 這是神的圭臬。 終於神賜的天來了, 痛苦的呻吟停止, 艱難中開出花朵, 結成平安的果子。 讓我們高歌前進, 穿過隱伏的人生陷阱, 走上恩威兼施神安排的道路, 高唱悲壯和柔和的歌詠。

January 12 "Reckon it nothing but joy....whenever you find yourself hedged in by the varioust trials, be assured that the testing of your faith leads to power of endurance." (James 1:2,3.) (Weymouth.) GOD hedges in His own that He may preserve them, but oftentimes they only see the wrong side of the hedge, and so misunderstand His dealings. It was so with Job (Job 3:23). Ah, but Satan knew the value of that hedge! See his testimony in chapter 1:10. Through the leaves of every trial there are chinks of light to shine through. Thorns do not prick you unless you lean against them, and not one touches without His knowledge. The words that hurt you, the letter which gave you pain, the cruel wound of your dearest friend, shortness of money─are all known to Him, who sympathizes as none else can and watches to see, if, through all, you will dare to trust Him wholly. "The hawthorn hedge that keeps us from intruding, Looks very fierce and bare When stripped by winter, every branch protruding Its thorns that would wound and tear. "But spring-time comes; and like the rod that budded, Each twig breaks out in green; And cushions soft of tender leaves are studded, Where spines alone were seen. "The sorrows, that to us seem so perplexing, Are mercies kindly sent To guard our wayward souls from sadder vexing, And greater ills prevent. "To save us from the pit, no screen of roses Would serve for our defense, The hindrance that completely interposes Stings back like thorny fence. "At first when smarting from the shock, complaining Of wounds that freely bleed, God's hedges of severity us paining, May seem severe indeed. "But afterwards, God's blessed spring-time cometh, And bitter murmurs cease; The sharp severity that pierced us bloometh, And yields the fruits of peace. "Then let us sing, our guarded way thus wending Life's hidden snares among, Of mercy and of judgment sweetly blending; Earth's sad, but lovely song."

一月十二日 聖靈 「他要榮耀我;因為他要將受於我的,告訴你們。」約翰福音十六章14節 我們的主在最後一天的晚上,與門徒們在一起的時候,曾應許差遣聖靈來作保惠師。雖然祂有形的同在已經失去了,但他們卻能很奇妙的在他們裡面,並在他們中間,經歷祂的同在。聖靈將基督這樣啟示在他們心裡,為要使他們經歷基督與他們那繼續不斷的同在。聖靈也要榮耀基督,而且把這位榮耀的基督在屬天的愛和能力裡啟示出來。 基督徒對於這個榮耀真理的領會,相信和經歷是何等的缺少!若是在這樣的一本書中,或是在我們的講臺裡,我們只是勸勉基督徒要愛主耶穌,卻不同時警告他們說,這件事並不是他們能用自己的力量所辦得到的,那麼我們就沒有盡到我們傳道人的職責了!是的,這件事是不可能的;只有神,就是祂的聖靈才能作。只有祂能將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡,並且教導我們熱切的來愛祂。只有藉著聖靈,我們才能完整的經歷主耶穌的愛和祂內住的同在。 但是請我們記得,這位是神的聖靈,必須完全佔有我們。祂要求我們把整個的心和生命都歸給祂。祂要在我們的內裡,用能力來剛強我們,使我們與基督有交通,遵守祂的命令,也住在祂的愛裡。 當我們一領會這個真理的時候,我們就會開始覺得,我們要深深的倚靠聖靈;並且也要求父在大能裡,差遣聖靈來到我們的心裡。聖靈就要教導我們愛慕神的話、默想神的話,也遵守神的話。祂也要把基督的愛啟示給我們,使我們能用純潔的心、熱切的愛來愛祂。這時我們就能看見一個榮耀的事實,和一個蒙福的實際,就是我們能在煩擾的日常生活中,活出一個基督之愛的生活。

一月十二日 你們曾與神單獨同在麼? 「沒有人的時候,就把一切的道講給門徒聽。」馬可福音四章34節 我們與神單獨同在:耶穌不是常常帶著我們到單獨的地方,時時講解事情給我們聽,乃是按照我們瞭解的程度隨時講給我們聽。神藉著我們四週圍人的生活,培養我們的心靈,這是緩慢的工作。唯其緩慢,所以神要用很多的時光,繼續不斷的造成一個合意的人。我們要想對於神有用處,唯一的方法,只有讓神來糾正我們的性格。我們不知道自己,這是怎樣莫名其妙的事啊!我們見著嫉妒,怠情或狂傲,而不以為是嫉妒,怠情,狂傲。祂在耶穌開始恩典的工作之前,將我們這肉體所藏匿的一切,給我們揭示出來。我們中有多少人敢於察看呢? 去掉自以為瞭解自己的觀念,這是最不容易。那唯一知道我們的一位,是神。自負,是靈性生活中最大的阻礙。如果我們以神的眼光看我們本來面目,我們絕不輕易的說,「我是怎樣不配啊。」在我們尚未確知我們是不配的時候,神就要設法使我們與他單獨的會晤。那裡有驕傲或自負的成分,那裡耶穌不能解明甚麼事情。耶穌要領導我們經過無所施其智巧的失望,經過灰心的失望,祂才顯示過度的感情──超出我們所想的,祂要我們與祂單獨同在。我們在課堂裡聽得不少的事情,但是這些事依然不是我們所明瞭的。當神單獨向我們解說的當兒,我們才算明瞭了。

一月十二日 「你們祈求,就給你們。」馬太福音七章7節 我們必須祈求,而且必須有信心地接納所求的;我們需要踏出信心的步伐,然後繼續地向前邁進。 有個朋友曾對我說:「我要凡事照著神的旨意行。」我答道:「那麼請你先瞭解神的旨意,然後按祂的意思行。」我的話語使他想到一個未曾考慮過的情況,他終於明白為什麼他努力尋求神的旨意,卻得不到所渴慕的祝福。 主耶穌曾說:「你們求,就必得著。」(約十六)然而要得著祝福的努力,反而阻止了我們受祝福。我們的靈性緊張、甚至束縛、阻礙了我們接受神所預備好的祝福。「願意的,都可以白白取生命的水喝。」(啟廿二) 神對我說: 每一個隱而未現的罪都可以洗淨, 因為救恩偉大而豐滿, 足以保守我的心。 在祂的豐盛恩典中, 我全然地接受祂, 也接受祂說只要我接受就都是我的, 因為祂說只要接受就都是我的, 所以我就照祂說的全然相信祂。
