前情提要

上回说到

昨天():每第七年地要守安息;第五十年是禧年,地业归回原主,卖身的人得自由,因为“地是我的”()。穷苦的弟兄要帮补,不可向他取利。 应许:遵行神的诫命,就有时雨、丰收、平安,神也要在百姓中间行走。

今天你会读到

警告:如果背约不听从,灾祸会一层一层加重,最后百姓被掳到列国、地成为荒凉;但只要他们承认罪孽,神必记念与先祖所立的约。第 27 章讲许愿奉献人、牲畜、房屋、田地的估价和赎回,以及十分之一归给耶和华。

阅读小提示

留意 –45:即使百姓背约被掳,神仍说“我却不厌弃他们,也不厌恶他们”,要记念祂与先祖所立的约。审判的尽头仍有恩典。

利未记 第 26 章

不听从的后果

14“你们若不听从我,不遵行我的诫命,If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,

15厌弃我的律例,厌恶我的典章,不遵行我一切的诫命,背弃我的约,and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,

16我待你们就要这样:我必命定惊惶,叫眼目、精神消耗的热病辖制你们。你们也要白白地撒种,因为仇敌要吃你们所种的。then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.

17我要向你们变脸,你们就要败在仇敌面前。恨恶你们的,必辖管你们;无人追赶,你们却要逃跑。And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.

加七倍的惩罚

18你们因这些事若还不听从我,我就要为你们的罪加七倍惩罚你们。And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.

19我必断绝你们因势力而有的骄傲,又要使覆你们的,载你们的地如铜。I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

20你们要白白地劳力;因为你们的地不出土产,其上的树木也不结果子。and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.

21“你们行事若与我反对,不肯听从我,我就要按你们的罪加七倍降灾与你们。If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.

22我也要打发野地的走兽到你们中间,抢吃你们的儿女,吞灭你们的牲畜,使你们的人数减少,道路荒凉。I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.

23“你们因这些事若仍不改正归我,行事与我反对,And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

24我就要行事与你们反对,因你们的罪击打你们七次。then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.

25我又要使刀剑临到你们,报复你们背约的仇;聚集你们在各城内,降瘟疫在你们中间,也必将你们交在仇敌的手中。And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26我要折断你们的,就是断绝你们的粮。那时,必有十个女人在一个炉子给你们烤饼,按分量秤给你们;你们要吃,也吃不饱。When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

城邑荒凉,被分散到列邦

27“你们因这一切的事若不听从我,却行事与我反对,But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

28我就要发烈怒,行事与你们反对,又因你们的罪惩罚你们七次。then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.

29并且你们要吃儿子的肉,也要吃女儿的肉。You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

30我又要毁坏你们的,砍下你们的,把你们的尸首扔在你们偶像的身上;我的心也必厌恶你们。I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.

31我要使你们的城邑变为荒凉,使你们的众圣所成为荒场;我也不闻你们馨香的香气。I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.

32我要使地成为荒场,住在其上的仇敌就因此诧异。And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.

33我要把你们散在列邦中;我也要拔刀追赶你们。你们的地要成为荒场;你们的城邑要变为荒凉。But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.

地要享受安息,剩下的人心惊胆怯

34“你们在仇敌之地居住的时候,你们的地荒凉,要享受众安息;正在那时候,地要歇息,享受安息。Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35地多时为荒场,就要多时歇息;地这样歇息,是你们住在其上的安息年所不能得的。As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.

36至于你们剩下的人,我要使他们在仇敌之地。叶子被风吹的响声,要追赶他们;他们要逃避,像人逃避刀剑,无人追赶,却要跌倒。As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.

37无人追赶,他们要彼此撞跌,像在刀剑之前。你们在仇敌面前也必站立不住。They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.

38你们要在列邦中灭亡;仇敌之地要吞吃你们。You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.

39你们剩下的人必因自己的罪孽和祖宗的罪孽在仇敌之地消灭。Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.

承认罪孽,神记念所立的约

40“他们要承认自己的罪和他们祖宗的罪,就是干犯我的那罪,并且承认自己行事与我反对,But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—

41我所以行事与他们反对,把他们带到仇敌之地。那时,他们若谦卑了,他们也,and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,

42我就要记念我与雅各所立的约,与以撒所立的约,与亚伯拉罕所立的约,并要记念这地。then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

43他们离开这地,地在荒废无人的时候就要享受安息。并且他们要服罪孽的刑罚;因为他们厌弃了我的典章,心中厌恶了我的律例。For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.

44虽是这样,他们在仇敌之地,我却不厌弃他们,也不厌恶他们,将他们尽行灭绝,也不背弃我与他们所立的约,因为我是耶和华—他们的 神。Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

45我却要为他们的缘故记念我与他们先祖所立的约。他们的先祖是我在列邦人眼前、从埃及地领出来的,为要作他们的 神。我是耶和华。”But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”

46这些律例、典章,和法度是耶和华与以色列人在西奈山借着摩西立的。These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.

利未记 第 27 章

许愿奉献人的估价

1耶和华对摩西说:Then the LORD said to Moses,

2“你晓谕以色列人说:人还,被许的人要按你所估的价值归给耶和华。“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,

3你估定的,从二十岁到六十岁的男人,要按圣所的平,估定价银五十。if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.

4若是女人,你要估定三十舍客勒。Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5若是从五岁到二十岁,男子你要估定二十舍客勒,女子估定十舍客勒。And if the person is from five to twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

6若是从一月到五岁,男子你要估定五舍客勒,女子估定三舍客勒。Now if the person is from one month to five years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver.

7若是从六十岁以上,男人你要估定十五舍客勒,女人估定十舍客勒。And if the person is sixty years of age or older, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.

8他若贫穷,不能照你所估定的价,就要把他带到祭司面前,祭司要按许愿人的力量估定他的价。But if the one making the vow is too poor to pay the valuation, he is to present the person before the priest, who shall set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.

奉献牲畜

9“所许的若是牲畜,就是人献给耶和华为供物的,凡这一类献给耶和华的,都要成为圣。If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy.

10人不可改换,也不可更换,或是好的换坏的,或是坏的换好的。若以牲畜更换牲畜,所许的与所换的都要成为圣。He must not replace it or exchange it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.

11若牲畜不洁净,是不可献给耶和华为供物的,就要把牲畜安置在祭司面前。But if the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest.

12祭司就要估定价值;牲畜是好是坏,祭司怎样估定,就要以怎样为是。The priest shall set its value, whether high or low; as the priest values it, the price will be set.

13他若一定要赎回,就要在你所估定的价值以外加上五分之一。If, however, the owner decides to redeem the animal, he must add a fifth to its value.

奉献房屋

14“人将房屋分别为圣,归给耶和华,祭司就要估定价值。房屋是好是坏,祭司怎样估定,就要以怎样为定。Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it.

15将房屋分别为圣的人,若要赎回房屋,就必在你所估定的价值以外加上五分之一,房屋仍旧归他。But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.

奉献田地

16“人若将承受为业的几分地分别为圣,归给耶和华,你要按这地撒种多少估定价值,若撒大麦一,要估价五十舍客勒。If a man consecrates to the LORD a parcel of his land, then your valuation shall be proportional to the seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed.

17他若从禧年将地分别为圣,就要以你所估定的价为定。If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.

18倘若他在禧年以后将地分别为圣,祭司就要按着未到禧年所剩的年数推算价值,也要从你所估的减去价值。But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest is to calculate the price in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your valuation will be reduced.

19将地分别为圣的人若定要把地赎回,他便要在你所估的价值以外加上五分之一,地就准定归他。And if the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it shall belong to him.

20他若不赎回那地,或是将地卖给别人,就再不能赎了。If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.

21但到了禧年,那地从买主手下出来的时候,就要归耶和华为圣,和永献的地一样,要归祭司为业。When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it becomes the property of the priests.

22他若将所买的一块地,不是承受为业的,分别为圣归给耶和华,Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,

23祭司就要将你所估的价值给他推算到禧年。当日,他要以你所估的价银为圣,归给耶和华。then the priest shall calculate for him the value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay the assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD.

24到了禧年,那地要归卖主,就是那承受为业的原主。In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.

25凡你所估定的价银都要按着圣所的平:二十为一舍客勒。Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

头生的与永献的

26“惟独牲畜中头生的,无论是牛是羊,既归耶和华,谁也不可再分别为圣,因为这是耶和华的。But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.

27若是不洁净的牲畜生的,就要按你所估定的价值加上五分之一赎回;若不赎回,就要按你所估定的价值卖了。But if it is among the unclean animals, then he may redeem it according to your valuation and add a fifth of its value. If it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28“但一切,就是人从他所有永献给耶和华的,无论是人,是牲畜,是他承受为业的地,都不可卖,也不可赎。凡永献的是归给耶和华为至圣。Nothing that a man sets apart to the LORD from all he owns—whether a man, an animal, or his inherited land—can be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.

29凡从人中当灭的都不可赎,必被治死。”No person set apart for destruction may be ransomed; he must surely be put to death.

十分之一归耶和华

30“地上所有的,无论是地上的种子是树上的果子,是耶和华的,是归给耶和华为圣的。Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.

31人若要赎这十分之一的什么物,就要加上五分之一。If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.

32凡牛群羊群中,一切,每第十只要归给耶和华为圣。Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.

33不可问是好是坏,也不可更换;若定要更换,所更换的与本来的牲畜都要成为圣,不可赎回。”He must not inspect whether it is good or bad, and he shall not make any substitution. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’”

34这就是耶和华在西奈山为以色列人所吩咐摩西的命令。These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.

摘要

利未记二十六章14至46节详述以色列民若悖逆神、厌弃律例的层层递进刑罚——从疾病、饥荒、战败,直到被掳散居列邦;但神应许若他们谦卑认罪悔改,祂必记念与亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的约,不将他们尽行灭绝。第二十七章则记载许愿奉献的估价条例,涵盖人、牲畜、房屋、田地与十分之一的赎回规定,强调凡分别为圣归耶和华的都当忠实履行。

反思问题

  1. 在利未记二十六章中,神对悖逆者的管教是逐步加重的;你是否曾经历神透过环境反复提醒你回转?你当时如何回应?
  2. 神说即便百姓在仇敌之地,祂也不背弃所立的约()。这份不离不弃的信实如何影响你面对自身失败时对神的信心?
  3. 第二十七章关于许愿与奉献的规定提醒我们向神许诺当慎重并忠实履行;在你的生活中,有没有向神许过却未兑现的承诺需要处理?

新约马可福音 4:35–5:20

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():耶稣说灯要放在灯台上,要留心所听的;又用种子自己生长、芥菜种长大的比喻说明神的国。祂常用比喻对众人讲道,没有人的时候,再把一切讲给门徒听。

今天你会读到

当天晚上,耶稣和门徒渡海,遇到暴风,耶稣斥责风浪,海就平静了。到了对岸格拉森人的地方,祂从一个被许多污鬼附着的人身上赶出名叫“群”的鬼,鬼进入猪群;那人得了医治,在低加坡里传扬耶稣为他做的事。

阅读小提示

留意两句话:门徒问“这到底是谁”(),接着污鬼就喊出答案——“至高 神的儿子耶稣”()。耶稣的权柄胜过风浪,也胜过鬼魔。

点时代可看说明

格拉森人的地方在加利利海东岸,属外邦人居住的低加坡里一带;时间约在主后 28 年。

马可福音 第 4 章

平静风和海

35当那天晚上,耶稣对门徒说:“我们渡到那边去吧。”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36门徒离开众人,耶稣仍在船上,他们就把他一同带去;也有别的船和他同行。After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.

37忽然起了,波浪打入船内,甚至船要满了水。Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38耶稣在船尾上,枕着枕头睡觉。门徒叫醒了他,说:“!我们丧命,你吗?”But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”

39耶稣醒了,风,向海说:“”风就止住,大大地平静了。Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.

40耶稣对他们说:“为什么?你们还没有信心吗?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41他们就大大地惧怕,彼此说:“这到底是谁,连风和海也听从他了。”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

马可福音 第 5 章

被污鬼附着的人

1他们来到海那边的地方。On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

2耶稣一下船,就有一个被污鬼附着的人从坟茔里出来迎着他。As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.

3那人常住在里,没有人能捆住他,就是用铁链也不能;This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

4因为人屡次用和铁链捆锁他,铁链竟被他挣断了,脚镣也被他弄碎了;总没有人能制伏他。Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

5他昼夜常在坟茔里和山中喊叫,又用石头砍自己。Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

鬼附的人跑来拜耶稣,鬼名叫群

6他远远地看见耶稣,就跑过去拜他,When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

7大声呼叫说:“至高 神的儿子耶稣,我与你有什么相干?我指着 神恳求你,不要叫我受苦!”And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

8是因耶稣曾吩咐他说:“污鬼啊,从这人身上出来吧!”For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

9耶稣问他说:“你名叫什么?”回答说:“我名叫‘’,因为我们多的缘故”;“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10就再三地求耶稣,不要叫他们离开那地方。And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

鬼进入猪群

11在那里山坡上,有吃食;There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

12鬼就央求耶稣说:“求你打发我们往猪群里,附着猪去。”So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

13耶稣准了他们,污鬼就出来,进入猪里去。于是那群猪,投在海里,淹死了。猪的数目约有二千。He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

当地人央求耶稣离开

14放猪的就逃跑了,去告诉城里和乡下的人。众人就来,要看是什么事。Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.

15他们来到耶稣那里,看见那被鬼附着的人,就是从前被群鬼所附的,坐着,穿上衣服,,他们就害怕。When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

16看见这事的,便将鬼附之人所遇见的和那群猪的事都告诉了众人;Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

17众人就央求耶稣离开他们的。And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

回家传扬主的作为

18耶稣上船的时候,那从前被鬼附着的人恳求和耶稣同在。As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.

19耶稣不许,却对他说:“你回家去,到你的亲属那里,将主为你所做的是何等大的事,是怎样怜悯你,都告诉他们。”But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

20那人就走了,在传扬耶稣为他做了何等大的事,众人就都希奇。So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

摘要

马可福音四章35节至五章20节记载两个彰显耶稣权柄的事件:耶稣在船上平静风浪,显明祂掌管自然的大能,并质问门徒为何缺乏信心;随后在格拉森,耶稣赶出名为“群”的污鬼,释放一个长年被鬼附、无人能制伏的人,使他恢复正常,并差遣他回去向亲属见证主的作为。

反思问题

  1. 门徒在风浪中质问耶稣“你不顾吗?”,你在生命的风暴中是否也曾怀疑神的同在与关心?那经历如何塑造了你的信心?
  2. 格拉森被鬼附的人被释放后,耶稣要他回家向亲属作见证而非跟随自己;在你目前的生活处境中,神要你向谁见证祂的作为?
  3. 格拉森人看见神迹后却央求耶稣离开——你是否有时因害怕改变的代价,而抗拒神在你生命中更深的工作?
