1:1 當士師秉政的時候,國中遭遇饑荒。在猶大、伯利恆,有一個人帶著妻子和兩個兒子往摩押地去寄居。 In the days when the judges ruled, \f 1:1 Traditionally ((judged)) there was a famine in the land, and a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab.
1:2 這人名叫以利米勒,他的妻名叫拿俄米;他兩個兒子,一個名叫瑪倫,一個名叫基連,都是猶大的伯利恆的以法他人。他們到了摩押地,就住在那裏。 The man's name was Elimelech, his wife's name Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there. 1:3 後來拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒死了,剩下婦人和她兩個兒子。 Now Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. 1:4 這兩個兒子娶了摩押女子為妻,一個名叫俄珥巴,一個名叫路得,在那裏住了約有十年。 They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years, 1:5 瑪倫和基連二人也死了,剩下拿俄米,沒有丈夫,也沒有兒子。 both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband. 1:6 她就與兩個兒婦起身,要從摩押地歸回;因為她在摩押地聽見耶和華眷顧自己的百姓,賜糧食與他們。 When she heard in Moab that the LORD had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, Naomi and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there. 1:7 於是她和兩個兒婦起行離開所住的地方,要回猶大地去。 With her two daughters-in-law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah. 1:8 拿俄米對兩個兒婦說:「你們各人回娘家去吧。願耶和華恩待你們,像你們恩待已死的人與我一樣! Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, <<Go back, each of you, to your mother's home. May the LORD show kindness to you, as you have shown to your dead and to me. 1:9 願耶和華使你們各在新夫家中得平安!」於是拿俄米與她們親嘴。她們就放聲而哭, May the LORD grant that each of you will find rest in the home of another husband.>>Then she kissed them and they wept aloud 1:10 說:「不然,我們必與你一同回你本國去。」 and said to her, <<We will go back with you to your people.>> 1:11 拿俄米說:「我女兒們哪,回去吧!為何要跟我去呢?我還能生子作你們的丈夫嗎? But Naomi said, <<Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Am I going to have any more sons, who could become your husbands? 1:12 我女兒們哪,回去吧!我年紀老邁,不能再有丈夫;即或說,我還有指望,今夜有丈夫可以生子, Return home, my daughters; I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me--even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons-- 1:13 你們豈能等著他們長大呢?你們豈能等著他們不嫁別人呢?我女兒們哪,不要這樣。我為你們的緣故甚是愁苦,因為耶和華伸手攻擊我。」 would you wait until they grew up? Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters. It is more bitter for me than for you, because the LORD's hand has gone out against me!>> 1:14 兩個兒婦又放聲而哭,俄珥巴與婆婆親嘴而別,只是路得捨不得拿俄米。 At this they wept again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-by, but Ruth clung to her. 1:15 拿俄米說:「看哪,你嫂子已經回她本國和她所拜的神那裏去了,你也跟著你嫂子回去吧!」 <<Look,>> said Naomi, <<your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.>> 1:16 路得說:「不要催我回去不跟隨你。你往哪裏去,我也往那裏去;你在哪裏住宿,我也在那裏住宿;你的國就是我的國,你的 神就是我的 神。 But Ruth replied, <<Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 1:17 你在哪裏死,我也在那裏死,也葬在那裏。除非死能使你我相離!不然,願耶和華重重地降罰與我。」 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.>> 1:18 拿俄米見路得定意要跟隨自己去,就不再勸她了。 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her. 1:19 於是二人同行,來到伯利恆。她們到了伯利恆,合城的人就都驚訝。婦女們說:「這是拿俄米嗎?」 So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women exclaimed, <<Can this be Naomi?>> 1:20 拿俄米對他們說:「不要叫我拿俄米〔就是甜的意思〕,要叫我瑪拉〔就是苦的意思〕,因為全能者使我受了大苦。 <<Don't call me Naomi,>>1:20 ((Naomi)) means ((pleasant)); also in verse 21. she told them. <<Call me Mara,1:20 ((Mara)) means ((bitter.))because the Almighty 1:20 Hebrew ((Shaddai)); also in verse 21 has made my life very bitter. 1:21 我滿滿地出去,耶和華使我空空地回來。耶和華降禍與我,全能者使我受苦。既是這樣,你們為何還叫我拿俄米呢?」 I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The LORD has afflicted 1:21 Or ((has testified against)) me; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.>> 1:22 拿俄米和她兒婦摩押女子路得,從摩押地回來到伯利恆,正是動手割大麥的時候。 So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning.

三月廿五日 「人非有信,就不能得神的喜悅,因為到神面前來的人,必須信有神,且信祂賞賜那尋求祂的人。」希伯來書十一章6節 信心在危急中更能發揮它的力量。 聖經中充滿著危難的日子。它的故事由危難的日子所構成的,它的詩篇,是在危難日子中獲得的靈感,它的預言也與此有關,它的啟示也以此為透露的媒介。 危難的日子是通往光明之路的踏腳石;是神的機會,也是人類智慧的訓練所。詩篇第一百零七篇歌頌耶和華的慈愛,此外在每個救贖的故事中,危急存亡之秋,往往是神的好機會。人的才智窮竭,絕望無援的時候,是神的能力開始發揮。記得嗎?神曾應許—─對從未生過孩子而老得形同朽木的夫婦,將可獲有後裔,並且多如天上的星,又如海邊的沙。你可翻開聖經再讀一讀以色列人在紅海得救的故事,還有以色列人抬著約櫃,從約但河中涉水而過的故事,他們是怎樣祈禱的。再溫習一下尼希米、但以理、何西阿和哈巴谷的歷史。再以敬畏的心默默立於「客西馬尼」的幽暗中,到約瑟家的墳墓旁,回想那些可怕的日子,去拜訪最初創立教會的見證人,去探問使徒門在危難日子中所經歷的故事。 危急勝於灰心。 信心不會使危急變成絕望。信心的任務是支持你去解決危難,在危難之際,信心的反面就是灰心,信心維持不變,就能得勝。 在危難恐怕沒有比那三個希伯來子民所表現更為偉大。他們的處境雖然危急萬分,但他們仍能勇敢地回答道:「我們事奉的神,必能把我們救出這烈焰的火窯;祂更能把我們從暴君的手中救出來,但即使不是如此,暴君你也該知道,我們決不事奉你的神,也不敬拜你所立的偶像」(參但以理書三章) 「但即使不是如此」,這句話何等令人欽佩。 我想把剩餘的篇幅,來說起耶穌在客西馬尼園中的禱告。請深切地體味其中「然而」二字,「倘若可行,求你叫這杯離開我,然而不要照我的意思,只要照你意思!」深沈的黑暗已籠罩著主的靈魂。信靠神,就要受流血的痛苦,淪入死亡的深淵,─—然而! 現在拿起你們的詩歌本,唱你們所最喜愛的,那些讚美危急中信心的詩吧。 ─契特威克 障礙與苦難, 像囹圄與牢獄, 我只盡我的本分, 其餘讓神去完成。 脫離悲痛的機會與變化, 久待不來, 似已消失, 危急中終有希望的力量, 靜靜等待神賜恩澤。

March 25 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."(Heb. 11:6.) THE faith for desperate days. The Bible is full of such days. Its record is made up of them, its songs are inspired by them, its prophecy is concerned with them, and its revelation has come through them. The desperate days are the stepping-stones in the path of light. They seem to have been God's opportunity and man's school of wisdom. There is a story of an Old Testament love feast in Psalm 107, and in every story of deliverance the point of desperation gave God His chance. The "wit's end" of desperation was the beginning of God's power. Recall the promise of seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sands of the sea, to a couple as good as dead. Read again the story of the Red Sea and its deliverance, and of Jordan with its ark standing mid-stream. Study once more the prayers of Asa, Jehoshaphat, and Hezekiah, when they were sore pressed and knew not what to do. Go over the history of Nehemiah, Daniel, Hosea, and Habakkuk. Stand with awe in the darkness of Gethsemane, and linger by the grave in Joseph's garden through those terrible days. Call the witnesses of the early Church, and ask the apostles the story of their desperate days. Desperation is better than despair. Faith did not make our desperate days. its work is to sustain and solve them. The only alternative to a desperate faith is despair, and faith holds on and prevails. There is no more heroic example of desperate faith than that of the three Hebrew Children. The situation was desperate, but they answered bravely, "Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning, fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. but if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." I like that," but if not!" I have only space to mention Gethsemane. Ponder deeply its" Nevertheless." "If it is possible....nevertheless!" Deep darkness had settled upon the soul of our Lord. Trust meant anguish unto blood and darkness to the descent of hell─Nevertheless! Nevertheless! Now get your hymn book and sing your favorite hymn of desperate faith. ─Rev. S. Chadwick. "When obstacles and trials seem Like prison walls to be, I do the little I can do And leave the rest to Thee. "And when there seems no chance, no change, From grief can set me free, Hope finds its strength in helplessness, And calmly waits for Thee."

三月廿五日 神旨意的成全 「因為耶和華揀選了錫安,願意當作自己的居所。我要住在這裡,因為是我所願意的」詩篇一三二篇13—14節 在這裡看見神一個偉大的心願,感動祂做成救贖的工作。祂的心乃是巴望與人同住,也住在人裡面。 神對摩西說:「又當為我造聖所,使我可以住在他們中間。」正如當初以色列人為神預備居所,神的兒女今天也照樣蒙召,將自己獻上,讓神住在他們裡面,並使更多的人成為祂的居所。由於神的這一願望充滿在我們心中,它將在我們裡面引起一個心願,去帶領四周的人也成為祂的居所。 何等榮耀!何等尊貴的呼召!使我們看地上的事全然次要,而以得著更多的人成為我們的生活、喜悅,並讓神從他們也得著喜悅!「我要住在這裡,因為是我所願意的。」 這件事我可藉著禱告得以成全,可以為著四周的人禱告,求神將聖靈賜給他們。此乃神偉大的計劃,使人自己成為祂的居所。神為了垂聽祂兒女不住的代禱,而賜下祂的能力與祝福。由於神這個偉大的意願充滿在我們裡面,我們就將自己全然獻上,為了成全神的意願。 試想大衛,當他想到神的意願乃要居住在以色列中間時,他說:「我不容我的眼睛睡覺,也不容我的眼目打盹;直等我為耶和華尋得所在,為雅各的大能者尋得居所。」難道我們既看見了內住的神向我們顯現,豈不更將自己獻上,為著成就神的意願? 但願我們從此開始為著我們的兒女、周圍的人,以及全地的人禱告。不僅是因為我們愛他們,更特別因著神渴望得著他們。神給我們尊榮作祂的管子,藉著我們帶下祂的祝福。神的兒女們,願你們領悟神何以尋找人做代禱者,藉著你們使祂心中偉大的意願得著滿足。 禱告: 神啊!您曾說到人的心,「我要住在這裡,因為是我所願意的」,我們求您教導我們如何晝夜禱告,使您的心願早日得成。阿們。

三月廿五日 人間最慎重的使命 「新郎的朋友。」約翰福音三章29節 良善和純潔,從不引人注意它們的本身,而是引人到耶穌基督的磁石。如果我的聖潔不是引人歸向祂,那就不是合理的,卻是刺激不法的情感,領人進到旁門左道的感力。一個修潔美好的聖徒,如果不講耶穌基督,僅講耶穌基督替他所行的事,也許是一種障礙,也許他留給人們這樣的印象──這麼好的人!這麼好的品格啊!──可就不是新郎的真朋友;我常是興旺,祂反而衰敗。 為了保持對於新郎這種友誼和忠實,我們必得多多留心我們和其道德上的關係,少注意其他的事;甚至順服也不可過於注意。我們若與耶穌基督真實的聯合,則順服是不成問題的,因為順服的關係我們保持慣了。不過早晚總有特殊的事件發生,我們要特別尋找神的旨意而順服之,這可以說大部份的生命不在注重順服,而在保守這種關係──做新郎的朋友。做基督的事工,也許是一種引人不集中於耶穌基督的方法。我們或不是新郎的朋友,而是先見之明的先知,也許我們以祂的武器去作反抗祂的工作。

三月廿五日 「……以聖潔的妝飾敬拜耶和華。」詩篇廿九篇2節 有個人曾經說,他所認識的人當中,沒有人比聖潔的基督徒脾氣更壞。或許他指的只是那些自稱為聖潔的基督徒。有些笨拙、不友善、沒愛心的基督徒性格,與真正聖潔毫無關係;至少,與最高的聖潔生活方式沒有任何關係。不聖潔的生活彷彿沒有肉的枯骨,又如沒有樹籐或綠葉妝飾的石頭。耶穌不僅善良純全,而且完美、充滿吸引人的溫暖之愛。 我們已讀過不同種的美德:「凡是公義的……可愛的,有美名的……。」(腓四8)總之,至少有一千種基督徒的美德,是我們無法忽視的。事實上,就像完成任何一件藝術品前的最後一步,是同樣的重要性,所以不要認為神花了太多的時間,在教導我們這些許多人視為小事的美德。 神不僅要祂的教會毫無玷污,而且要毫無皺紋(參以弗所書五章27節)。
