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(03月14日)
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。
