1:1 所羅門的歌,是歌中的雅歌。〔新娘〕 Solomon's Song of Songs. 1:1 Primarily on the basis of the gender of the Hebrew pronouns used, male and female speakers are indicated in the margins by the captions ((Lover)) and ((Beloved)) respectively. The words of others are marked ((Friends)). In some instances the divisions and their captions are debatable.
1:2 願他用口與我親嘴;因你的愛情比酒更美。 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. 1:3 你的膏油馨香;你的名如同倒出來的香膏,所以眾童女都愛你。 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! 1:4 願你吸引我,我們就快跑跟隨你。王帶我進了內室,我們必因你歡喜快樂。我們要稱讚你的愛情,勝似稱讚美酒。他們愛你是理所當然的。 Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. Friends We rejoice and delight in you; 1:4 The Hebrew is masculine singular. we will praise your love more than wine. Beloved How right they are to adore you! 1:5 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊,我雖然黑,卻是秀美,如同基達的帳棚,好像所羅門的幔子。 Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. 1:5 Or ((Salma)) 1:6 不要因日頭把我曬黑了就輕看我。我同母的弟兄向我發怒,他們使我看守葡萄園;我自己的葡萄園卻沒有看守。 Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected. 1:7 我心所愛的啊,求你告訴我,你在何處牧羊?晌午在何處使羊歇臥?我何必在你同伴的羊群旁邊好像蒙著臉的人呢?〔新郎〕 Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends? 1:8 你這女子中極美麗的,你若不知道,只管跟隨羊群的腳蹤去,把你的山羊羔牧放在牧人帳棚的旁邊。 If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds. Lover 1:9 我的佳偶,我將你比法老車上套的駿馬。 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh. 1:10 你的兩因髮辮而秀美;你的頸項因珠串而華麗。 0 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. 1:11 我們要為你編上金辮,鑲上銀釘。〔新娘〕 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. Beloved 1:12 王正坐席的時候,我的哪噠香膏發出香味。 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance. 1:13 我以我的良人為一袋沒藥,常在我懷中。 My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts. 1:14 我以我的良人為一棵鳳仙花,在隱‧基底葡萄園中。〔新郎〕 My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. 1:15 我的佳偶,你甚美麗!你甚美麗!你的眼好像鴿子眼。〔新娘〕 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves. Beloved 1:16 我的良人哪,你甚美麗可愛!我們以青草為榻, How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant. Lover 1:17 以香柏樹為房屋的棟梁,以松樹為椽子。 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.

二月二日 「祂……將我藏在祂手蔭之下;又使我成為磨亮的箭,將我藏在祂箭袋之中。」以賽亞書四九章2節 「在祂手蔭之下」。我們常有到那裡去的需要。日光太炫耀了;我們的目光會受到損傷,使我們不能分辨相仿的顏色。所以神將我們暫時藏在疾病的蔭中、憂愁的蔭中、窮苦的蔭中,在那裡和日光隔絕。 但是不要怕這神的手蔭祂正在引導。你有許多功課只能彀在那邊學得的。 不要想神已經把你丟在一邊了。你仍舊在祂箭袋之中;祂並沒有把你當作無用之物拋去。 祂現在把你藏起,保守你直到相當的時候,祂要配你在弓弦上,送你出去,使仇敵受虧損,使神得榮耀。哦,在神手蔭之下的信徒啊,戰士如何寶貝他的箭,把牠藏在貼身的箭袋中,神也如此寶貝你愛護你,藏你在祂的蔭庇之下。 ─梅爾 許多時候,黑蔭倒是生長必需的條件。美麗的玉蜀黍在夏夜的蔭下生長得最快。在炎熱的日光下,牠的葉子是鬈著的,到了天上起黑雲的時候,葉子很快地開放了。也有許多美麗的花,日間藏起牠們的美麗來,晚蔭降時方纔開放。多雲多霧和多蔭的地帶,草木也蔥鬱茂盛。花圃裏不但有晨間怒放的花朵,也有「夜來香」,「夜來香」在日正當中時並無光彩,到深夜纔散佈它的芬芳。 假如一生儘是陽光, 我們將會盼望, 清涼的雨滴, 灑到我們臉上。 ─亨利范戴克

February 2 "In the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft: in his quiver hath he hid me." (Isa. 49:2.) IN the shadow." We must all go there sometimes. The glare of the daylight is too brilliant; our eyes become injured, and unable to discern the delicate shades of color, or appreciate neutral tints─he shadowed chamber of sickness, the shadowed house of mourning, the shadowed life from which the sunlight has gone. But fear not! It is the shadow of God's hand. He is leading thee. There are lessons that can be learned only there. The photograph of His face can only be fixed in the dark chamber. But do not suppose that He has cast thee aside. Thou art still in His quiver; He has not flung thee away as a worthless thing. He is only keeping thee close till the moment comes when He can send thee most swiftly and surely on some errand in which He will be glorified. Oh, shadowed, shadowed, solitary ones, remember how closely the quiver is bound to the warrior, within easy reach of the hand, and guarded jealously. ─Christ in Isaiah, Meyer. In some spheres the shadow condition is the condition of greatest growth. The beautiful Indian corn never grows more rapidly than in the shadow of a warm summer night. The sun curls the leaves in the sultry noon light, but they quickly unfold, if a cloud slips over the sky. There is a service in the shadow that is not in the shine. The world of stellar beauty is never seen at its best till the shadows of night slip over the sky. There are beauties that bloom in the shade that will not bloom in the sun. There is much greenery in lands of fog and clouds and shadow. The florist has "evening glories" now, as well as "morning glories." The "evening glory" will not shine in the noon's splendor, but comes to its best as the shadows of evening deepen. If all of life were sunshine, Our faces would be fain To feel once more upon them The cooling plash of rain. ─Henry Van Dyke.

二月二日 神是個靈 「神是個靈,所以拜祂的,必須用心靈和誠實拜祂。」約翰福音四章24節 當神創造了人,又吹入一口生命氣息給人的時候,人就變成了一個活的魂。這一個魂是在靈和體的中間,他可以降服給靈被帶到神那裡,也可以降服給肉體和這肉體的情慾。在先祖墮落之後,人拒絕順服靈,成為身體的奴隸,在人裡面的靈,就變成完全黑暗的了。 當人重生的時候,人的靈又活過來,得著從上面來的生命。當人在重生的生命裡,和神有交通的時候,人的靈就降服於神的靈。靈就是人裡面最深的部份。詩篇五十一篇節「您所喜愛的,是內裡誠實,您在我隱密處,必使我得智慧。」耶利米書卅一章中也說:「我要將我的律法放在他們裡面。」以賽亞也說:「夜間我的心渴望您,我裡面的靈切切尋求您。」這一個心必須進到隱密處的靈的深處去,起來尋求神。 神是個靈,極其聖潔,極其榮耀。祂給我們一個靈,為的是要我們與祂相交,緊緊跟隨祂自己。但是這個能力因為罪就漸漸失去了。除了將我們的心在安靜裡獻上給神,讓祂的聖靈在我們裡面工作之外,就沒有別的恢復法子。神願意在我們裡面,我們的靈裡教導我們,用心靈和誠實來敬拜祂,祂的心是超過我們所能思想、所能感覺的。 「父要這樣的人拜祂。」如果我們等候祂,祂就要藉著聖靈來教導我們如何敬拜祂。在這安靜的時候,要肅敬靜默在神面前降服你自己,全心相信接受祂的靈溫柔的工作。對神說出這些話:「我的心哪,你當安靜在神面前。」「夜間我心中羨慕您,我裡面的靈切切尋求您。」「哦!神,我等候您。」

二月二日 呼召之勉勵 「若不傳福音,我便有禍了!」哥林多前書九章16節 當心你的耳朵未聽神的召呼,凡得救的,都是召去替這個事實作見證;並不是召去傳道,至多只能作一種傳道上可用的示範。保羅說他必須傳福音,不然便是痛苦。切不要將保羅所說的,是指人的心靈與神接觸而獲救贖的事件。再沒有甚麼比得救還容易些,因為那是神權限內的事──「到我這裡來,我要使你們得救。」我們的主未曾把做門徒的條件,同得救的條件等量齊觀。我們藉著耶穌基督的十字架準定得救,不成問題。至於做門徒則有所選擇──「若有人……」 保羅這話是論到那些將要作耶穌僕人的,既是作了僕人,就沒有理由去問主人做甚麼,或往那裡去。神要照自己的意思,把我們作成擘的餅和奠的酒為祂所用。「特派傳福音」一語,其意是聽聞神的召呼;當某人聽見那種召呼時,就必感覺隱痛。這種隱痛,真真是痛苦。各種野心要除盡,各種慾望要熄滅,各種前程要完全丟開,只有一事,就是「特派傳福音」。當那種召呼臨到某人的時候,他想轉向而逃,準是禍及其心。本校之成立,就是要看這裡有沒有願傳神福音的男女;就是要看神能否握住你。當神握住你的時候,就當留意其他的事把你從神手中奪去。

二月二日 「你們中間誰願為大,就必作你們的用人;誰願為首,就必作你們的僕人。」馬太福音廿章26、27節 這裡所提到的用人,是指在任何情況下願服務他人的人。但是「僕人」這兩個字卻表示賣了身的奴隸。而耶穌在此地清楚教導我們,僕人的事奉才是最高層次的事奉。 基督成了所有世人的奴隸,任何願意來到祂面前,與祂親近、同在的人,都必須學習這種事奉的精神──完全捨棄自我的權利,永遠不再為自我爭取什麼。 對我們來說,完完全全地對主耶穌忠實,為主的緣故做奴僕,並願意順服在主裡掌權的人,是極為可能的事。 奴僕的精神不僅是捨棄自我,且是樂意降服在有權柄者之下。雖然對事情沒興趣,但為了主的榮耀,為了弟兄的益處,心甘情願毫不保留地放棄個人的喜好及興趣。 主啊!願您為我們穿上謙卑的衣裳,使我們全然屬您。
