1:1 大流士王第二年八月，耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞，說： In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo:
1:2 「耶和華曾向你們列祖大大發怒。 <<The LORD was very angry with your forefathers. 1:3 所以你要對以色列人說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們要轉向我，我就轉向你們。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 Therefore tell the people: This is what the LORD Almighty says: <Return to me,> declares the LORD Almighty, <and I will return to you,> says the LORD Almighty. 1:4 不要效法你們列祖。從前的先知呼叫他們說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：『你們要回頭離開你們的惡道惡行。』他們卻不聽，也不順從我。這是耶和華說的。 Do not be like your forefathers, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the LORD Almighty says: <Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.> But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the LORD. 1:5 你們的列祖在哪裏呢？那些先知能永遠存活嗎？ Where are your forefathers now? And the prophets, do they live forever? 1:6 只是我的言語和律例，就是所吩咐我僕人眾先知的，豈不臨到你們列祖嗎？他們就回頭，說：『萬軍之耶和華定意按我們的行動作為向我們怎樣行，他已照樣行了。』」 But did not my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, overtake your forefathers? <<Then they repented and said, <The LORD Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.> >> 1:7 大流士第二年十一月，就是細罷特月二十四日，耶和華的話臨到易多的孫子、比利家的兒子先知撒迦利亞，說： On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo. 1:8 「我夜間觀看，見一人騎著紅馬，站在窪地番石榴樹中間。在他身後又有紅馬、黃馬，和白馬。」 During the night I had a vision--and there before me was a man riding a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses. 1:9 我對與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」他說：「我要指示你這是甚麼意思。」 I asked, <<What are these, my lord?>> The angel who was talking with me answered, <<I will show you what they are.>> 1:10 那站在番石榴樹中間的人說：「這是奉耶和華差遣在遍地走來走去的。」 Then the man standing among the myrtle trees explained, <<They are the ones the LORD has sent to go throughout the earth.>> 1:11 那些騎馬的對站在番石榴樹中間耶和華的使者說：「我們已在遍地走來走去，見全地都安息平靜。」 And they reported to the angel of the LORD, who was standing among the myrtle trees, <<We have gone throughout the earth and found the whole world at rest and in peace.>> 1:12 於是，耶和華的使者說：「萬軍之耶和華啊，你惱恨耶路撒冷和猶大的城邑已經七十年，你不施憐憫要到幾時呢？」 Then the angel of the LORD said, <<LORD Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, which you have been angry with these seventy years?>> 1:13 耶和華就用美善的安慰話回答那與我說話的天使。 So the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked with me. 1:14 與我說話的天使對我說：「你要宣告說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：我為耶路撒冷為錫安，心裏極其火熱。 Then the angel who was speaking to me said, <<Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD Almighty says: <I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, 1:15 我甚惱怒那安逸的列國，因我從前稍微惱怒我民，他們就加害過分。 but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they added to the calamity.> 1:16 所以耶和華如此說：現今我回到耶路撒冷，仍施憐憫，我的殿必重建在其中，準繩必拉在耶路撒冷之上。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 <<Therefore, this is what the LORD says: <I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. And the measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem,> declares the LORD Almighty. 1:17 你要再宣告說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：我的城邑必再豐盛發達。耶和華必再安慰錫安，揀選耶路撒冷。」 <<Proclaim further: This is what the LORD Almighty says: <My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.> >> 1:18 我舉目觀看，見有四角。 Then I looked up--and there before me were four horns! 1:19 我就問與我說話的天使說：「這是甚麼意思？」他回答說：「這是打散猶大、以色列，和耶路撒冷的角。」 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, <<What are these?>> He answered me, <<These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.>> 1:20 耶和華又指四個匠人給我看。 Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen. 1:21 我說：「他們來做甚麼呢？」他說：「這是打散猶大的角，使人不敢抬頭；但這些匠人來威嚇列國，打掉他們的角，就是舉起打散猶大地的角。」 I asked, <<What are these coming to do?>> He answered, <<These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people.>> 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06日）
三月六日 「我們曾信……」路加福音廿四章21節（直譯） 我常常覺得很是難過：往以馬忤斯去的兩個門徒不對耶穌說：「我們仍信」；卻說：「我們曾信……。」可憐，他們以為事情都完了。 他們若說：「似乎每一件事情都使我們失望；似乎我們的信心落了空，但是我們並不灰心；我們相信我們要再見祂……」豈不好麼？可惜他們並沒有這麼說，他們站在祂旁邊，臉上帶著愁容，以為主已死了三天；難怪主責備他們說：「無知的人哪……你們的心，信得太遲鈍了！」（25節） 親愛的，我們有否相似的情形，受主同樣的責備？我們寧可放棄任何東西，每一件東西，卻不能放棄對主的信心。 讓我們不像這兩個門徒一樣，把我們的信心變成過去式——「我們曾信…。」讓我們永遠堅持現在式的信心—─「我們永信。」 ─碎錦 溫暖的春天已去， 那枝頭開滿如錦鮮花。 玫瑰怒放的季節， 我曾盼望， 現在仍在盼望祂…… 如今玫瑰不開， 花事闌珊， 若畏縮躊躇， 我的信心何顢頇； 尤其風雪欲來的此刻， 若灰心失望， 更是脆弱可歎。 ─風雪中小鳥之歌

March 6 "We trusted." (Luke 24:21.) ＩHAVE always felt so sorry that in that walk to Emmaus the disciples had not said to Jesus, "We still trust"; instead of "We trusted." That is so sad─something that is all over. If they had only said, "Everything is against our hope; it looks as if our trust was vain, but we do not give up; we believe we shall see Him again." But no, they walked by His side declaring their lost faith, and He had to say to them "O fools, and slow of heart to believe!" Are we not in the same danger of having these words said to us? We can afford to lose anything and everything if we do not lose our faith in the God of truth and love. Let us never put our faith, as these disciples did, in a past tense─"We trusted." But let us ever say, "I am trusting." ─Crumbs. The soft, sweet summer was warm and glowing, Bright were the blossoms on every bough: I trusted Him when the roses were blooming; I trust Him now.... Small were my faith should it weakly falter Now that the roses have ceased to blow; Frail were the trust that now should alter, Doubting His love when storm clouds grow. ─The Song of a Bird in a Winter Storm.

三月六日 基督為代禱者 「凡靠著祂進到神面前的人，祂都能拯救到底；因為祂是長遠活著，替他們祈求。」 當神在以賽亞書裡說過祂找不到一個代禱者，就甚詫異；接著又說：「祂用自己的膀臂施行拯救。必有一位救贖主來到錫安。」（賽五九16、20）神親自預備一位真正的代求者，祂曾論到祂的兒子基督：「……祂卻擔當多人的罪，又為罪犯代求。」（賽五三12） 基督在世上的生活中，已經開始祂代禱的職事。試想主為著祂的門徒及一切信祂名的人那個大祭司的禱告。再想想祂對彼得所說的話：「我已為你禱告，使你不致失去信心。」——這就證明祂的代禱是非常個人的。在十字架上，祂代禱著：「父啊，赦免他們」。 神如今已坐在神的右邊，祂仍為大祭司，繼續不斷地作代禱的工作。所不同者，祂將這個權利賜給祂的門徒，使他們也有份於祂的事工。在祂臨別談話中，七次的保證他們無論向祂求甚麼，祂都為他們成全。 天上的權能已賜給了人。神的恩典與權能等著人向祂祈求。藉著聖靈的引導，人能知道神的旨意。他們學習在信心中奉祂名祈求。祂要將他們的祈求帶到神面前，藉著祂和門徒們同心的代禱，使教會披戴聖靈的權能。 禱告： 可稱頌的救贖主啊：您呼召我們有份於您的代禱，乃是何等奇妙的恩典。我們喚醒您蒙救贖的兒女，使我們得知我們所蒙的呼召是何其榮耀，並得知您的救會在軟弱中，仍能因奉您的名代求而將天上極豐盛的祝福帶下。求您的聖靈在人裡面作工，使您的子民深深懊悔我們限制了禱告，以及懶惰、不信、自私的罪，深信您的愛使您的渴望賜下禱告的靈，以答應我們的祈求——奉您的名。阿們。

三月六日 一大堆無謂的事 「就如在許多的忍耐、患難、窮乏、困苦……」哥林多後書六章4節 於無異象，無監護者的時候，要對付當前的順從，當前的研究，當前的瀏覽，當前的烹調；非訴之於全能的恩惠不可。你欲完成當前的本分，沒有從神來的異象，沒有勉勵，沒有監護者更是不行。傳福音固然重要，而此時此刻蒙神的恩惠，而與神親近，更為重要。 每個基督徒應具有基督化身成人的本質，要把事物帶到血肉的實際，要胼手胝足地行出來。我們沒有見異象，沒有得援助，即在平常的小事上也會停駐不前的。為神為人作一勞永逸之計，是在隱秘裡工作，要想保全生命，唯一的方法，是瞻仰神。求神打開你的靈眼，定睛仰望升天的基督，苦役絕不能挫折你。常常拋開心裡的瑣事，要達到約翰福音第十三章的程度！

三月六日 「……不可依靠自己的聰明。」箴言三章5節 我們若依靠人的智慧，無論是自己的或是他人的，那麼信心就會受到阻礙。撒但給夏娃的第一個魚餌，就是提供她智慧；為了得著智慧，夏娃把信心賣了。創世記三章5節說：「……你們喫的日子眼睛就亮了，你們便如神能知道善惡。」從那以後，夏娃開始用她的智慧，不再依靠神。 使以色列民族無法如期進入神所應許之地的，乃是那些探子，因為他們在窺探迦南之後，做了一個很嚇人的報告，所以以色列民族變得沒有信心，更使得那一代所有的以色列人都無法進入迦南地。那些探子的名字幾乎都像徵人類的智慧、偉大和名聲，這是很有意義的。 基督在世的時候，猶太人一方面受到祖宗傳統的捆綁，一方面受到議論的影響，使他們不願接受主耶穌。主曾問猶太人：「你們互相受榮耀，卻不求從獨一之神來的榮耀，怎能信我呢？」(約五44) 讓我們專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明。
