1:1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家作猶大王的時候，亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示，論到猶大和耶路撒冷。 The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
1:2 天哪，要聽！地啊，側耳而聽！因為耶和華說：我養育兒女，將他們養大，他們竟悖逆我。 Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: <<I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. 1:3 牛認識主人，驢認識主人的槽，以色列卻不認識；我的民卻不留意。 The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.>> 1:4 嗐！犯罪的國民，擔著罪孽的百姓；行惡的種類，敗壞的兒女！他們離棄耶和華，藐視以色列的聖者，與他生疏，往後退步。 Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. 1:5 你們為甚麼屢次悖逆，還要受責打嗎？你們已經滿頭疼痛，全心發昏。 Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. 1:6 從腳掌到頭頂，沒有一處完全的，盡是傷口、青腫，與新打的傷痕，都沒有收口，沒有纏裹，也沒有用膏滋潤。 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness-- only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil. 1:7 你們的地土已經荒涼；你們的城邑被火焚毀。你們的田地在你們眼前為外邦人所侵吞，既被外邦人傾覆就成為荒涼。 Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. 1:8 僅存錫安城〔原文是女子〕，好像葡萄園的草棚，瓜田的茅屋，被圍困的城邑。 The Daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a city under siege. 1:9 若不是萬軍之耶和華給我們稍留餘種，我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。 Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah. 1:10 你們這所多瑪的官長啊，要聽耶和華的話！你們這蛾摩拉的百姓啊，要側耳聽我們 神的訓誨！ Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah! 1:11 耶和華說：你們所獻的許多祭物與我何益呢？公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油，我已經夠了；公牛的血，羊羔的血，公山羊的血，我都不喜悅。 <<The multitude of your sacrifices-- what are they to me?>> says the LORD. <<I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. 1:12 你們來朝見我，誰向你們討這些，使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？ When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? 1:13 你們不要再獻虛浮的供物。香品是我所憎惡的；月朔和安息日，並宣召的大會，也是我所憎惡的；作罪孽，又守嚴肅會，我也不能容忍。 Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations-- I cannot bear your evil assemblies. 1:14 你們的月朔和節期，我心裏恨惡，我都以為麻煩；我擔當，便不耐煩。 Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. 1:15 你們舉手禱告，我必遮眼不看；就是你們多多地祈禱，我也不聽。你們的手都滿了殺人的血。 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 1:16 你們要洗濯、自潔，從我眼前除掉你們的惡行，要止住作惡， wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, 1:17 學習行善，尋求公平，解救受欺壓的；給孤兒伸冤，為寡婦辨屈。 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. 1:17 Or ((/ rebuke the oppressor)) Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. 1:18 耶和華說：你們來，我們彼此辯論。你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白；雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。 <<Come now, let us reason together,>> says the LORD. <<Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. 1:19 你們若甘心聽從，必吃地上的美物， If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; 1:20 若不聽從，反倒悖逆，必被刀劍吞滅。這是耶和華親口說的。 but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.>> r For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. 1:21 可歎，忠信的城變為妓女！從前充滿了公平，公義居在其中，現今卻有兇手居住。 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her-- but now murderers! 1:22 你的銀子變為渣滓；你的酒用水攙對。 Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. 1:23 你的官長居心悖逆，與盜賊作伴，各都喜愛賄賂，追求贓私。他們不為孤兒伸冤；寡婦的案件也不得呈到他們面前。 Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them. 1:24 因此，主─萬軍之耶和華、以色列的大能者說：哎！我要向我的對頭雪恨，向我的敵人報仇。 Therefore the Lord, the LORD Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: <<Ah, I will get relief from my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. 1:25 我必反手加在你身上，煉盡你的渣滓，除淨你的雜質。 I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. 1:26 我也必復還你的審判官，像起初一樣，復還你的謀士，像起先一般。然後，你必稱為公義之城，忠信之邑。 I will restore your judges as in days of old, your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.>> 1:27 錫安必因公平得蒙救贖；其中歸正的人必因公義得蒙救贖。 Zion will be redeemed with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. 1:28 但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同敗亡；離棄耶和華的必致消滅。 But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the LORD will perish. 1:29 那等人必因你們所喜愛的橡樹抱愧；你們必因所選擇的園子蒙羞。 <<You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. 1:30 因為，你們必如葉子枯乾的橡樹，好像無水澆灌的園子。 You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. 1:31 有權勢的必如麻瓤；他的工作好像火星，都要一同焚毀，無人撲滅。 The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.>> 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（02月27日）
二月廿七日 「只勝了雅各一人；有一個人來和他摔跤，直到黎明。」創世記卅二章24節 剩下一人！我們各人對於這四個字都有不同的感覺。有人剩下一人時感覺何等孤單、寂寞；也有人剩下一人時感覺幽靜、可得安息。總之，剩下一人而沒有神同在，是太淒涼的事；剩下一人而有主同在的話，是預嘗天上的光景！如果神的兒女能多和祂單獨接觸，我們都要變作屬靈的偉人了。 我們的主給我們作了一個榜樣。多少次數祂獨自去單獨親近神；祂吩咐我們「你禱告的時候，要進你的內屋，關上門。」（太六6）的目的，乃是要我們單獨親近神。 以利亞和以利沙最大的神蹟，乃是在他們單獨親近神的時候出現的。雅各在單獨親近神的時候，成為一個王子。（以色列的意思就是王子）。約書亞在單獨親近神的時候，得到勝利的把握。基甸和耶弗他在單獨親近神的時候，得到神的遣徵。摩西獨自在曠野中的時候，看見神的異象。哥尼流在獨自禱告的時候，看見天使。彼得獨自在房頂上與神單獨接觸的時候，受神托付到外邦人中去。施洗約翰獨自住在曠野；耶穌所愛的門徒約翰獨自在拔摩海鳥上，孤單中他最接近神，所以得到了神最大的啟示。 讓我們渴慕單獨和神親近。如果我們把這件事情忽略了，我們就要失去樹和枝子的交通、能力，以及天上各樣屬靈的福氣。這是何等大的損失呢？並且我們不但剝奪了自己的祝福，也剝奪了別人的祝福，因為在我們自己得到祝福的時候，我們纔能帶祝福給別人。單獨親近神也許要減少我們外面的工作；但是單獨親近神會給我們更大的能力；結果，我們就會「不見一人，只見耶穌在那裏。」（太十七8）

February 27 "And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day."(Gen. 32:24.) ＬEFT alone! What different sensations those words conjure up to each of us. To some they spell loneliness and desolation, to others rest and quiet. To be left alone without God, would be too awful for words, but to be left alone with Him is a foretaste of Heaven! If His followers spent more time alone with Him, we should have spiritual giants again. The Master set us an example. Note how often He went to be alone with God; and He had a mighty purpose behind the command, "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray." The greatest miracles of Elijah and Elisha took place when they were alone with God. It was alone with God that Jacob became a prince; and just there that we, too, may become princes─"men (aye, and women too!) wondered at" (Zech. 3:8). Joshua was alone when the Lord came to him. (Josh. 1:1.) Gideon and Jephthah were by themselves when commissioned to save Israel. (Judges 6:11 and 11:29.) Moses was by himself at the wilderness bush. (Exodus 3:1-5.) Cornelius was praying by himself when the angel came to him. (Acts 10:2.) No one was with Peter on the house top, when he was instructed to go to the Gentiles. (Acts 10:9.) John the Baptist was alone in the wilderness (Luke 1:80), and John the Beloved alone in Patmos, when nearest God. (Rev. 1:9.) Covet to get alone with God. If we neglect it, we not only rob ourselves, but others too, of blessing, since when we are blessed we are able to pass on blessing to others. It may mean less outside work; it must mean more depth and power, and the consequence, too, will be "they saw no man save Jesus only."

二月廿七日 神的榮耀 「但願祂……得著榮耀，直到世世代代、永永遠遠。」以弗所書三章21節 神自己必須將祂的榮耀先啟示給我們，只有這樣，我們才能正確地認識祂並榮耀祂。 在大自然裡，沒有一種奇異的形像，比星光燦爛的天空更能述說神的榮耀。因著望遠鏡的發達，天文學家早就宣佈了神在宇宙中的各樣奇事；並且又因天文攝影的方法，發現了許多新奇的領域。一塊照相的感光片，放在天文望遠鏡底下，可以照出千萬個用最好的望遠鏡所不能看見的眾星。人必須站在一邊，讓諸天彰顯它自己的榮耀；原先不能看見的遙遠眾星，現在就能將他們的影像留在底片上了。 我們渴慕在神的話裡看見祂的榮耀，這是一個何等重要的功課。請將你自己的努力放一邊，讓你的心像照相的底片一樣，等候神來啟示祂的榮耀；而這底片必須是清潔預備好了的。讓你的心藉著神的靈，也蒙預備得潔淨：「清心的人有福了，因為他們必得見神。」底片必須不動，你的心也要安靜在神面前。底片有時為著感光要暴露七八個鐘點，以便接受最遠的星完全的印象；你的心也要多花時間安靜地等候神，祂必啟示祂的榮耀。 如果你安靜在神面前，給祂時間，祂就要將意念放在你的心裡，這對於你自己和別人，也許是不可言喻的祝福。祂要在你裡面造出渴慕和傾向祂的心，正像祂榮耀的光線，照著你一樣。 今天早晨就學習這一個。在極深的謙卑裡，獻上你的靈，並且相信神要在祂聖潔的愛裡，啟示祂自己。祂的榮耀要降臨在你的身上。你自己也要覺得需要給祂夠多的時間，以便讓祂作祝福的工作。 「惟耶和華在祂的聖殿中，全地的人都當在祂面前肅敬靜默。」（哈二20）「我的心哪，你當默默無聲，專等候神，因為我的盼望是從祂而來。」（詩六二5）「神已經照在我們心裡，叫我們得知神榮耀的光，顯在耶穌基督的面上。」（林後四6）「要休息，要知道我是神。」（詩四六10）

二月廿七日 耶穌的事工被人限制了 「你從那裡得活水呢？」約翰福音四章11節 「井又深」──比撒瑪利亞婦人所知道的深得多！想想人性和人生的深度，想想你裡面「井」的深度。你曾經限制了耶穌的事工，叫祂不能做甚麼？設使在你心裡面有憂慮之井，而耶穌來對你說：「你們心裡不要憂愁；」你必聳聳你的肩，回答說：「但是，主啊，井又深；你不能從它取出平靜和安慰來。」不必這樣，祂能從上面帶下來。耶穌不能從人性的井裡取出甚麼來。我們根據以往的經驗說：「當然，我不能盼望神做這件事」，這便是限制了神。只有那全能者能把這事做成功。就是這件事我們為門徒者應當相信祂要做成功的。我們一忘記祂是全能的，就限制了祂的事工，這種限制是在我們，不在祂。我們肯說耶穌，把祂當為安慰者或同情者，並不肯把祂當為全能者。 我們有些人成為基督教的可憐的標本，正因為我們沒有全能的基督。我們有基督的屬性和經驗，只是沒有完全歸於耶穌基督。當我們陷於困難的境遇，我們就會這麼說──「自然，祂不能做甚麼，」還是我們自己下到深處，為自己取水吧！當心以沉入為滿足，反說：「這是做不到的。」你當知道，如果你仰望耶穌，那是能做到的。你的那口不完全的井雖深，但是致力於祂，仰望於祂是有辦法的。

二月廿七日 「……必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。」彼得前書五章10節 當我們與基督建立友誼時，首先在心理上，我們必須有足夠的知識亮光來滿足我們，使我們肯定我們有資格與主做朋友。因為我們心中若有一絲的疑問，就會使我們失去信心。我們既明白這個道理，就應該下定決心、做個選擇。而那個決心必須像樹得種在土裡，新娘必須走到證婚壇前一樣確定。當我們下決心時，我們應該堅決地、毫無保留、絕不後悔地做這個決定。 在友誼成長的過程中，難免會有一段不穩、考驗的時期，直到這友誼逐漸變得堅固，如同永恆的關係。這就像外科醫師必須使用夾板來固定病人折斷的手臂，使斷的部份不致移動，直到骨頭再度長合起來。我們的神也使用屬靈的夾板，使祂的兒女能安靜、不致動搖，直到他們走過信心的第一階段。 也許這並不容易，但是請記得「那賜諸般恩典的神，曾在基督裡召你們，得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。」(彼前五10)
