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.>> This is Alex Markley's PHPScripture v1.2.0, displaying a copy of Chinese Union Version Bible in XOOPS. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始, 聖經文字部分由CCIM(網路基督使團)網站下載. 如欲修改經文請洽聖經公會. 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(01月03日)
一月三日 「我要量著在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢的前行。」創世記卅三章14節 這真是一幅維妙維肖的圖畫,描寫雅各對群畜和孩子的慈心!他不願意他們趕走一天的路程。他不願意照粗人以掃的心意去催促他們。他乃是量著他們的力量慢慢地領他們前行。他知道他的兒女們年幼嬌嫩,牛羊正在乳養的時候。他知道他們一天能行多少路;他考慮了然後纔安排他們的行程。而且這條曠野的路程,以前他也曾走過;何處崎嶇、何處凶險、何處炎熱、何處寒冷,他都經歷過。所以他對他們說「我要慢慢地領你們前行。」「因這條路你們向來沒有走過。」(約書亞記三章4節) 前面的路程我們也向來沒有走過,可是主耶穌曾走過。我們的前途真是茫然無所知,可是主都經過。這一程使我們心慌意亂,那一程使我們筋疲力盡,另一程使我們乾渴得舌貼牙床,又一程使我們喘不過氣來─其實以前主都嚐過、走過。經上說:「耶穌因走路困乏。」(約四6)眾水沖淹祂,卻不能息滅祂的愛情。祂所經歷的苦難使祂成為最好的牧者。「祂知道我們的本體,思念我們不過是塵土。」(詩一○三14)祂每時每刻體恤我們;不讓我們走一步過於我們力量的路。前面一程雖然有些難行,但是盡可放心;因為祂不是加力量使我們得以安然過去,定是吩咐我們突然止步。 ─海弗格爾 絕非永遠是蔥綠的牧場, 有時全知全能的神指引我們走過崎嶇的道路, 黑暗茫茫。 不論是山頂的鳥語花香, 不論是深谷的陰沈淒涼, 因為祂總在那裏, 我絕不徬徨。 ─巴雷

January 3 "I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure." (Gen. 33:14) WHAT a beautiful picture of Jacob's thoughtfulness for the cattle and the children! He would not allow them to be overdriven even for one day. He would not lead on according to what a strong man like Esau could do and expected them to do, but only according to what they were able to endure. He knew exactly how far they could go in a day; and he made that his only consideration in arranging the marches. He had gone the same wilderness journey years before, and knew all about its roughness and heat and length, by personal experience. And so he said:"I will lead on softly." " For ye have not passed this way heretofore." (Josh.3:4) We have not passed this way heretofore, but the Lord Jesus has. It is all untrodden and unknown ground to us, but He knows it all by personal experience. The steep bits that take away our breath, the stony bits that make our feet ache so, the hot shadeless stretches that make us feel so exhausted, the rushing rivers that we have to pass through─Jesus has gone through it all before us. "He was wearied with his journey." Not some, but all the many waters went over Him, and yet did not quench His love. He was made a perfect Leader by the things which He suffered. "He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust." Think of that when you are tempted to question the gentleness of His leading. He is remembering all the time; and not one step will He make you take beyond what your foot is able to endure. Never mind if you think it will not be able for the step that seems to come next; either He will so strengthen it that it shall be able, or He will call a sudden halt, and you shall not have to take it at all. ─Frances Ridley Havergal. In "pastures green"? Not always; sometimes He Who knowest best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. So. whether on the hill-tops high and fair I dwell, or in the sunless valleys, where The shadows lie, what matter? he is there. ─Barry.

一月三日 耶穌 「你要給祂起名叫耶穌;因祂要將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。」馬太福音一章21節 主耶穌曾經成為人,所以祂有人的名字。雖然祂的母親、祂的門徒,和祂所有的朋友,都以這個名字——耶穌——稱呼祂,但卻可能很少想到這名字是甚麼意思。今天大多數的基督徒對於這個名字所包含的有多麼地寶貝,也知道得何等微少!這名字——耶穌——就是祂要將自己的百姓從罪惡裡救出來。 許多人想到祂十字架上的死,也想到祂在天上所作代禱者的工作,但有多少人真認識祂在天上是一位永活者,天天想念我們,並渴望將祂自己啟示給我們呢?祂實在是盼望我們每天能把我們的愛心,和我們的敬拜歸給祂。 基督徒常常祈求基督拯救他們脫離罪惡,但他們卻對這蒙福的工作是如何作成的知道的很少。這乃是永活的基督將祂自己啟示給我們,並藉著祂愛的能力,將我們戀慕罪惡的心除掉!這乃是藉著我們個人和祂之間的交通,基督拯救我們脫離了罪惡;所以我必須帶著我的心和其中所有的罪,單獨的到主耶穌這個大能的個人救主面前,神的聖潔正居住在祂裡面。正當祂和我單獨在一起有交通,表達彼此愛情和願望的時候,祂的愛就要藉著聖靈在我心中的工作,趕出並勝過所有的罪惡。 哦,基督徒啊!請學習知道每天與主耶穌有交通,乃是一個有福的享受,也是一個快樂和聖潔的秘訣,你的心要切慕禱告的時間,以此為你一天中最好的時間。當你學習每天劃出時間來單獨和祂親近的時候,你就要經歷與你同在,使你整天之中能夠全然愛祂、事奉祂,並行走在祂的道路中。藉著這樣不斷的交通,你就會找到真實敬虔生活能力的秘訣。

一月三日 雲彩與黑暗 「密雲和幽暗,在祂的四圍。」詩篇九十七篇2節 一個沒有從神之靈生過的人,會對你說:耶穌的訓誨是極其平庸、極其簡單的。但是在你受過聖靈之洗後,你會覺得「雲彩與黑暗圍繞著祂。」──這種景象,只有在我們接近耶穌訓誨的時候才會覺得;而我們也只有於內在神的靈光中,才能瞭悟耶穌的訓誨。假使我們沒有超過宗教平庸的見解,擺脫宗教習慣的形式,恐怕是還沒有真實覺悟神的觀念。未曾引到耶穌之前的人,常是粗魯輕浮的,但及至他們完全瞭解耶穌之所行以後,又有更進一步的黑雲起來,即那認識祂是誰的難關。 耶穌說:「我對你們所說的話,(不是曾經說過的)就是靈、就是生命。」(約六63)從前聖經所給予我們的,不過是一個一個的字,一團一團的雲彩與黑暗;等到耶穌基督在一種特殊的情形之下,把那些話重複地向我們述說後,這些話便在剎那之間變成了靈與生命。神不是用異象或夢幻向我們說話,而是用靈感的言語;我們和神交談的時候,也是用靈感的言語。

一月三日 「儆醒禱告」馬太福音廿六章41節 我們不僅應當儆醒禱告,還必須注意我們禱告的答案。就像我們需要智慧去按神的旨意禱告,我們也需要信心來接受禱告的答案。 有個基督徒吐露出他曾多年處在黑暗的日子,他說神沒有回答他的禱告,因此他有段時間落在不信的邊緣。 然而只要花少許的時間,便可以使這個朋友瞭解,他的禱告是完全越了權的,而且讓他明白神並未應許回答那類的禱告。他禱告的那些事情,只要他稍加運用普通的智慧就可以自己處理掉。儘管之後他從不信的疑雲中被釋放出來,但他的信仰生命險些就被摧毀了。 其實,有些事情我們只要藉著神已啟示的亮光,就可以解決。很多人總是求神給他們特殊的奇蹟、印證以及超自然地啟示祂的旨意。但我們的責任是運用祂已賜給我們的亮光,如此祂會更多地賜給我們各方面的需要。
