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.

四月七日 「你們要休息,要知道我是神……」詩篇四六篇10節(直譯) 若要真認識神,內心的靜鎮是絕對必須的。我記得我當初怎樣學習這功課。那時正有一件大難處臨頭,我焦急得全身顫動,所有的血管都緊張,而事情又需要立即應付;可是四周的環境又不容我移動絲毫,可以幫助我的人,又不願動作。 因著內心的紛亂,我的身體好像要四分五裂了;但是忽然一個微小的聲音在靈的深處向我說:「你要安靜,要知道我是神。」這句話真帶著能力。於是我集合全身各部,壓制我的靈,使他們鎮靜下來。我把我的急難交給神,仰望等候祂;我覺得真有股力量從鎮靜中出來應付難處。結果:事情平安過去,我自己在祂裏面得了安息。這是我最寶貝的經歷,因為從此我更認識了神。 ─司密斯 這種不動並不是懶惰,乃是從信心產生的一種活的鎮靜。如果緊張而不露聲色,故作鎮靜,仍非信心的結果,不過是抑制住了焦慮而已,並非真正的鎮靜。 先知聽見天上啟示的聲音, 並非在狂風暴雨的時辰, 也非地震或火災之時, 神在萬籟無聲降臨。 靈魂哪,在神的座前要安詳, 你的憂困雖如浪潮起伏, 在祈求與願望中保持鎮靜, 盼聽神啟示你萬全之方。 集中用力, 需有間歇的休憩, 每次靜止, 生出新的能力, 最美麗的讚頌樂曲, 其間也有短時間的默息。 休息罷, 休息在肅靜的靈裏, 暫時把語言, 思慮和行動擱起, 讓整個身心, 寂寞在神的控制中, 領會祂一言一笑的全部意義。 不要像運動員爭奪錦標, 要登天堂, 不可憑意志的強暴, 像孩子似的陪你天父坐下, 要知道安靜之後, 就有幸福來到。

April 7 「Be still, and what I am God…」(Psalms 46:10) "Their strength is to sit still."(Isa. 30:7.) IN order really to know God, inward stillness is absolutely necessary. I remenber when I first learned this. A time of great emergency had risen in my life, when every part of my being seemed to throb with anxiety, and when the necessity for immediate and vigorous action seemed overpowering; and yet circumstances were such that I could do nothing, and the person who could, would not stir. For a little while it seemed as if I must fly to pieces with the inward turmoil, when suddenly the still small voice whispered in the depths of my soul, "Be still, and know that I am God." The word was with power, and I hearkened. I composed my body to perfect stillness, and I constrained my troubled spirit into quietness, and looked up and vaited; and then I did "know" that it was God, God even in the very emergency and in my helplessness to meet it; and I rested in Him. It was an experience that I would not have missed for worlds; and I may deal with the emergency, that very soon brought it to a successful issue. I learned then effectually that my "strength was to sit still." ─Hannah Whitall Smith. There is a perfect passivity which is not indolence. It is a living stillness born of trust. Quiet tension is not trust. It is simply compressed anxiety. Not in the tumult of the rending storm, Not in the earthquake or devouring flame; But in the hush that could all fear transform, The still, small whisper to the prophet came. O Soul, keep silence on the mount of God, Though cares and needs throb around thee like a sea; From supplications and desires unshod, Be still, and hear what God shall say to thee. All fellowship hath interludes of rest, New strength maturing in each poise of power; The sweetest Alleluias of the blest Are silent, for the space of half an hour. O rest, in utter quietude of soul, Abandon words, leave prayer and praise awhile; Let thy whole being, hushed in His control, Learn the full meaning of His voice and smile. Not as an athlete wrestling for a crown, Not taking Heaven by violence of will; But with thy Father as a child sit down, And know the bliss that follows His "Be Still!" ─Mary Rowles Jarvis.

四月七日 以西結書中的新約 「我必用清水灑在你們身上,你們就潔淨了;我要潔淨你們,使你們脫離一切的污穢,棄掉一切的偶像。我也要賜給你們一個新心,將新靈放在你們裏面;又從你們的肉體中除掉石心,賜給你們肉心。我必將我的靈,放在你們裏面,使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」以西結書卅六章25—27節 這裏的應許與耶利米書的應許,有相同的意思。就是神應許要給我們一個洗淨脫罪的心,並在這新的心中賜下聖靈,使我們能順從祂的律例,謹守遵行祂的典章。正如在耶利米書裏神所說的:「我要將我的律法放在他們裏面,且使他們有敬畏我的心,不離開我。」所以在這裏說:「使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」在與舊約相對照之下(在舊約沒有能力使他們持守神的律法),新約偉大的標記,乃是有神的能力使他們能順從神的律例,並謹記遵行祂的典章。 「罪在那裏顯多,恩典就更顯多了。」這個工作的結果,使人對祂完全忠誠,並全心順服。為甚麼這件事很少被人經歷呢?其回答很簡單:人沒有相信這個應許,沒有傳講它,所以也不期望這應許得到應驗。然而在羅馬書八章1—4節那段經文中說得多麼清楚。這一段話是一個曾經那把他擄去,使他附從犯罪之律的能力而發怨言之人說的。他現在感謝神,因他如今是「在基督耶穌裏」了,並且「賜生命聖靈的律,在基督耶穌裏釋放了我,使我脫離罪和死的律了。」所以律法一切的要求,就成功在那些隨從靈而行的人身上了。 再者,為甚麼能作這樣見證的人是那樣少呢?怎樣行才能達到這個目的呢?只需要一件事,就是相信這位全能的神。祂要藉著祂的大能,來作成祂所應許的:「我耶和華說過,也必成就。」哦,讓我們開始相信這應許必定實現:「我要潔淨你們,你們就潔淨了,……使你們順從我的律例,謹守遵行我的典章。」我們要相信神在這裏所應許的一切,神就會成全這應許。神竟然把祂偉大而榮耀的諸般應許,寄託在我們的信心上,這件事真是我們所想不通的!當我們相信這些應許時,它們就要在我們裏面產生那個信心。「照著你們的信給你們成全了罷。」(太九29)讓我們今天就來證實這件事。

四月七日 為甚麼不坦白的告訴我們呢? 「耶穌囑咐他們說,人子還沒有從死裡復活,你們不要將所看見的告訴人。」馬可福音九章9節 不到人子在你裡面活起來──不到復活的基督的生命支配你,使你明白歷史基督所教的,不要說甚麼。當你裡面達到正當情況的時候,你便清白無遺的瞭解耶穌所說的話,也會令你驚訝從前為甚麼不能理會。你從前之不能理會,是因為你還沒有達到瞭解的地步。 不到我們靈性的生活達到適宜的情況,我們的主不把這些事揭示出來;就是揭示出來,我們也不能領會。「我還有好些事告訴你們,但你們現在領會不了。」我們必要與祂復活的生命合而為一,才能領會那些特殊的話。我們知道一些關於耶穌復活的恩賜麼?我們知道的明證,就是祂的話對於我們變成了解釋。如果我們沒有神的靈,神就不向我們啟示甚麼?一種固執的眼光,就足以阻止神向我們的啟示。如果我們對於某種道理將有成見,神的光就不在那方面光照我們,我們也不能得著。當祂復活的生命來到我們的生命中,這種愚笨的階段,就可以馬上停止。 「不要告訴人……」有許多人把變形的山上所見的向人述說,他們曾經見過異象,也把它見證出來;但生命不與它符合,人子在他們心裡還沒有從死裡復活。祂到底甚麼時候在你我裡面形成呢?

四月七日 「我們生活、動作、存留,都在乎祂……」使徒行傳十七章28節 在列王紀下四章18—37節中,記載了以利沙使一個孩子起死回生的故事。基哈西雖然是以利沙的僕人,但是他卻無法醫治這斷了氣的孩子。因為這樣的奇蹟必須靠著以利沙先知親自按手,把生命的氣息重新注入那冰冷的肢體。以利沙口對口、手對手、心對心地伏在孩子身上,惟有如此,神才能讓生命再次回到這個男孩的血脈裡。 如果我們盼望能藉著主耶穌的生命得著生命,如果我們想體驗祂的豐富和祂醫治的能力,那麼我們必須先與從死裡復活的救主有個人直接的接觸。否則,我們一切的努力都會白費了。一般而言,我們經常依靠一些發生在我們身上的事,或是我們自己過去的成就,有時我們甚至依靠理智上我們所相信的道理。然而,我們的靈若不與基督合而為一,就難以渴慕愛心及信心的增加,更無法藉著祂變成一個滿有愛心,或是生命更新的人。我們靈裡及身體上最大的需要,乃是親自認識耶穌、時時與祂接觸、永遠住在祂裡面。
