出埃及記 第 40 章

吩咐立起帳幕

1耶和華曉諭摩西說:Then the LORD said to Moses,

2「,你要立起帳幕,“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

3把安放在裡面,用幔子將櫃遮掩。Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.

4把桌子搬進去,擺設上面的物。把燈臺搬進去,點其上的燈。Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.

5把燒香的安在法櫃前,掛上帳幕的門簾。Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony, and hang the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

6把燔祭壇安在帳幕門前。Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

7把洗濯盆安在會幕和壇的中間,在盆裡盛水。And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8又在四圍立,把院子的門簾掛上。Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.

膏抹帳幕和祭司

9用膏油把帳幕和其中所有的都抹上,使帳幕和一切器具成聖,就都成聖。Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

10又要抹燔祭壇和一切器具,使壇成聖,就都成為至聖。Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.

11要抹洗濯盆和盆座,使盆成聖。Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

12要使亞倫和他兒子到會幕門口來,。Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

13要給亞倫穿上聖衣,又膏他,使他成聖,可以給我供祭司的職分;And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.

14又要使他兒子來,給他們穿上內袍。Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.

15怎樣膏他們的父親,也要照樣膏他們,使他們給我供祭司的職分。他們世世代代凡受膏的,就永遠當祭司的。」Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.”

摩西立起帳幕

16摩西這樣行,都是照耶和華所吩咐他的。Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.

17第二年正月初一日,帳幕就立起來。So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.

18摩西立起帳幕,安上帶卯的座,立上板,穿上閂,立起柱子。When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.

19在帳幕以上搭罩棚,把罩棚的頂蓋蓋在其上,是照耶和華所吩咐他的。Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.

安放法櫃

20又把法版放在櫃裡,把槓穿在櫃的兩旁,把施恩座安在櫃上。Moses took the Testimony and placed it in the ark, attaching the poles to the ark; and he set the mercy seat atop the ark.

21把櫃抬進帳幕,掛上遮掩櫃的幔子,把法櫃遮掩了,是照耶和華所吩咐他的。Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the veil for the screen, and shielded off the ark of the Testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him.

桌子、燈臺和金壇

22又把桌子安在會幕內,在帳幕北邊,在幔子外。Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

23在桌子上將餅陳設在耶和華面前,是照耶和華所吩咐他的。He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

24又把燈臺安在會幕內,在帳幕南邊,與桌子相對,He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle

25在耶和華面前點燈,是照耶和華所吩咐他的。and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

26把金壇安在會幕內的幔子前,Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,

27在壇上燒了馨香料做的香,是照耶和華所吩咐他的。and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.

28又掛上帳幕的門簾。Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

燔祭壇和洗濯盆

29在會幕的帳幕門前,安設燔祭壇,把燔祭和素祭獻在其上,是照耶和華所吩咐他的。He placed the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.

30把洗濯盆安在會幕和壇的中間,盆中盛水,以便洗濯。He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;

31摩西和亞倫並亞倫的兒子在這盆裡洗手洗腳。and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.

32他們進會幕或就近壇的時候,便都洗濯,是照耶和華所吩咐他的。They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

33在帳幕和壇的四圍立了院帷,把院子的門簾掛上。這樣,摩西就。And Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and he hung the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.

耶和華的榮光充滿帳幕

34當時,遮蓋會幕,耶和華的就充滿了帳幕。Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35摩西不能進會幕;因為雲彩,並且耶和華的榮光充滿了帳幕。Moses was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

跟著雲彩起行

36每逢雲彩從帳幕收上去,以色列人就前往;Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey.

37雲彩若不收上去,他們就不起程,直等到雲彩收上去。If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.

38日間,耶和華的雲彩是在帳幕以上;夜間,雲中有火,在以色列全家的眼前。在他們都是這樣。For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel through all their journeys.

摘要

耶和華吩咐摩西在正月初一日立起帳幕,按照指示安放法櫃、桌子、燈臺、金壇、燔祭壇、洗濯盆等一切器具,並用膏油使之成聖,又膏立亞倫和他的兒子世代為祭司。摩西完全照耶和華所吩咐的行,帳幕立起後,雲彩遮蓋會幕,耶和華的榮光充滿帳幕,甚至摩西也不能進入。此後雲彩成為以色列人行程的引導——雲彩收上去就起程,不收上去就等候,日間有雲、夜間有火,在全家眼前同行。

反思問題

  1. 摩西在每一步驟都「照耶和華所吩咐的」行事,你在生活中是否有某些領域需要更順服地照神的話去做,而非按自己的方式?
  2. 神的榮光充滿帳幕,顯示祂樂意住在百姓中間。你如何預備自己的心成為神同在的居所?
  3. 以色列人看雲彩決定起行或停留,完全跟隨神的帶領。面對人生中需要等候或前行的時刻,你是否願意放下自己的時間表,信靠神的引導?

新約馬太福音 26:31–56

前情提要

上回說到

昨天():宗教領袖商議捉拿耶穌;在伯大尼,一個女人把極貴的香膏澆在耶穌頭上,猶大卻用三十塊錢出賣祂。逾越節晚上,耶穌預言有人要賣祂,又拿起餅和杯分給門徒,說「這是我立約的血,為多人流出來,使罪得赦」。

今天你會讀到

往橄欖山的路上,耶穌預言門徒都要跌倒,彼得卻誇口絕不跌倒。在客西馬尼,耶穌極其憂傷地禱告三次,門徒卻一再睡著。隨後猶大帶著拿刀棒的人來,用親嘴作暗號出賣耶穌;有門徒拔刀砍人,耶穌制止他,說這是要應驗經上的話,門徒就都逃走了。

閱讀小提示

留意耶穌在客西馬尼的禱告(、):祂坦白說「求你叫這杯離開我」,同時又說「不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思」。誠實的禱告與順服可以同時存在。

點時代可看說明

客西馬尼園在橄欖山腳下;這是耶穌被捕的那一夜,傳統認為是星期四晚上。

馬太福音 第 26 章

預言門徒都要跌倒

31那時,耶穌對他們說:「今夜,你們為我的緣故都要。因為經上記著說:我要,羊就分散了。Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32但我復活以後,要在你們以先往加利利去。」But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

彼得的誇口

33彼得說:「眾人雖然為你的緣故跌倒,我卻永不跌倒。」Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34耶穌說:「我實在告訴你,今夜以先,你要三次不認我。」“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35彼得說:「我就是必須和你同死,也總不能不認你。」眾門徒都是這樣說。Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

客西馬尼的禱告

36耶穌同門徒來到一個地方,名叫,就對他們說:「你們坐在這裡,等我到那邊去禱告。」Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37於是帶著彼得和西庇太的兩個兒子同去,就憂愁起來,,He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38便對他們說:「我心裡甚是憂傷,;你們在這裡等候,和我一同警醒。」Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39他就稍往前走,在地,禱告說:「我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫離開我。然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。」Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

門徒睡著了

40來到門徒那裡,見他們睡著了,就對彼得說:「怎麼樣?你們不能同我警醒片時嗎?Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

41總要警醒禱告,免得入了。你們心靈固然願意,。」“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42第二次又去禱告說:「我父啊,這杯若不能離開我,必要我喝,就願你的意旨成全。」A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43又來,見他們睡著了,因為他們的眼睛。And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44耶穌又離開他們去了。第三次禱告,說的話還是與先前一樣。So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

時候到了

45於是來到門徒那裡,對他們說:「現在你們仍然睡覺安歇吧(吧:或譯嗎?)!時候到了,人子被賣在罪人手裡了。Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46起來!我們走吧。看哪,賣我的人近了。」Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

猶大用親嘴出賣耶穌

47說話之間,那十二個門徒裡的猶大來了,並有許多人帶著刀棒,從祭司長和民間的長老那裡與他同來。While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48那賣耶穌的給了他們一個,說:「我與誰親嘴,誰就是他。你們可以拿住他。」Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49猶大隨即到耶穌跟前,說:「」,就與他親嘴。Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50耶穌對他說:「朋友,你來要做的事,就做吧。」於是那些人上前,下手拿住耶穌。“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

收刀入鞘

51有跟隨耶穌的一個人伸手拔出刀來,將砍了一刀,削掉了他一個耳朵。At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52耶穌對他說:「吧!凡動刀的,必死在刀下。“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

53你想,我不能求我父現在為我差遣來嗎?Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

54若是這樣,經上所說,事情必須如此的話怎麼應驗呢?」But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

門徒都逃走了

55當時,耶穌對眾人說:「你們帶著刀棒出來拿我,如同拿強盜嗎?我天天坐在殿裡教訓人,你們並沒有拿我。At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.

56但這一切的事成就了,為要應驗先知書上的話。」當下,門徒都離開他逃走了。But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

摘要

耶穌預言門徒今夜都要跌倒,彼得卻自信地宣稱絕不跌倒,耶穌卻告知他將三次不認主。在客西馬尼園中,耶穌經歷極深的憂傷,三次禱告求父若可行就將這杯挪去,但最終順服說「願你的意旨成全」,門徒卻三次都無法警醒。猶大隨後帶人以親嘴為暗號出賣耶穌,有門徒拔刀抵抗,耶穌制止並指出這一切必須應驗經上的話,門徒便都離開祂逃走了。

反思問題

  1. 彼得過度自信以為不會跌倒,卻正是最軟弱的時刻。你是否在某些信仰領域過於自信,反而忽略了警醒禱告的需要?
  2. 耶穌在極度痛苦中仍禱告「不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思」,當你面對極大的困難或不願意走的路時,你能否學習這樣的順服交託?
  3. 門徒在耶穌最需要同伴的時刻睡著了,最終也都逃走了。在身邊的人經歷苦難時,你是否曾因軟弱而缺席?你可以怎樣操練與人同行、彼此守望?
