出埃及记 第 40 章

吩咐立起帐幕

1耶和华晓谕摩西说:Then the LORD said to Moses,

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

3把安放在里面,用幔子将柜遮掩。Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.

4把桌子搬进去,摆设上面的物。把灯台搬进去,点其上的灯。Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.

5把烧香的安在法柜前,挂上帐幕的门帘。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把燔祭坛安在帐幕门前。Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

7把洗濯盆安在会幕和坛的中间,在盆里盛水。And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8又在四围立,把院子的门帘挂上。Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.

膏抹帐幕和祭司

9用膏油把帐幕和其中所有的都抹上,使帐幕和一切器具成圣,就都成圣。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又要抹燔祭坛和一切器具,使坛成圣,就都成为至圣。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,使盆成圣。Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

12要使亚伦和他儿子到会幕门口来,。Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

13要给亚伦穿上圣衣,又膏他,使他成圣,可以给我供祭司的职分;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又要使他儿子来,给他们穿上内袍。Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.

15怎样膏他们的父亲,也要照样膏他们,使他们给我供祭司的职分。他们世世代代凡受膏的,就永远当祭司的。”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.”

摩西立起帐幕

16摩西这样行,都是照耶和华所吩咐他的。Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.

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

18摩西立起帐幕,安上带卯的座,立上板,穿上闩,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在帐幕以上搭罩棚,把罩棚的顶盖盖在其上,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.

安放法柜

20又把法版放在柜里,把杠穿在柜的两旁,把施恩座安在柜上。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把柜抬进帐幕,挂上遮掩柜的幔子,把法柜遮掩了,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。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、灯台和金坛

22又把桌子安在会幕内,在帐幕北边,在幔子外。Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

23在桌子上将饼陈设在耶和华面前,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

24又把灯台安在会幕内,在帐幕南边,与桌子相对,He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle

25在耶和华面前点灯,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

26把金坛安在会幕内的幔子前,Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,

27在坛上烧了馨香料做的香,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.

28又挂上帐幕的门帘。Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

燔祭坛和洗濯盆

29在会幕的帐幕门前,安设燔祭坛,把燔祭和素祭献在其上,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。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把洗濯盆安在会幕和坛的中间,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摩西和亚伦并亚伦的儿子在这盆里洗手洗脚。and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.

32他们进会幕或就近坛的时候,便都洗濯,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

33在帐幕和坛的四围立了院帷,把院子的门帘挂上。这样,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.

耶和华的荣光充满帐幕

34当时,遮盖会幕,耶和华的就充满了帐幕。Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35摩西不能进会幕;因为云彩,并且耶和华的荣光充满了帐幕。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.

跟着云彩起行

36每逢云彩从帐幕收上去,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云彩若不收上去,他们就不起程,直等到云彩收上去。If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.

38日间,耶和华的云彩是在帐幕以上;夜间,云中有火,在以色列全家的眼前。在他们都是这样。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

耶和华吩咐摩西在正月初一日立起帐幕,按照指示安放法柜、桌子、灯台、金坛、燔祭坛、洗濯盆等一切器具,并用膏油使之成圣,又膏立亚伦和他的儿子世代为祭司。摩西完全照耶和华所吩咐的行,帐幕立起后,云彩遮盖会幕,耶和华的荣光充满帐幕,甚至摩西也不能进入。此后云彩成为以色列人行程的引导——云彩收上去就起程,不收上去就等候,日间有云、夜间有火,在全家眼前同行。

反思问题

  1. 摩西在每一步骤都“照耶和华所吩咐的”行事,你在生活中是否有某些领域需要更顺服地照神的话去做,而非按自己的方式?
  2. 神的荣光充满帐幕,显示祂乐意住在百姓中间。你如何预备自己的心成为神同在的居所?
  3. 以色列人看云彩决定起行或停留,完全跟随神的带领。面对人生中需要等候或前行的时刻,你是否愿意放下自己的时间表,信靠神的引导?

新约马太福音 26:31–56

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():宗教领袖商议捉拿耶稣;在伯大尼,一个女人把极贵的香膏浇在耶稣头上,犹大却用三十块钱出卖祂。逾越节晚上,耶稣预言有人要卖祂,又拿起饼和杯分给门徒,说“这是我立约的血,为多人流出来,使罪得赦”。

今天你会读到

往橄榄山的路上,耶稣预言门徒都要跌倒,彼得却夸口绝不跌倒。在客西马尼,耶稣极其忧伤地祷告三次,门徒却一再睡着。随后犹大带着拿刀棒的人来,用亲嘴作暗号出卖耶稣;有门徒拔刀砍人,耶稣制止他,说这是要应验经上的话,门徒就都逃走了。

阅读小提示

留意耶稣在客西马尼的祷告(、):祂坦白说“求你叫这杯离开我”,同时又说“不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思”。诚实的祷告与顺服可以同时存在。

点时代可看说明

客西马尼园在橄榄山脚下;这是耶稣被捕的那一夜,传统认为是星期四晚上。

马太福音 第 26 章

预言门徒都要跌倒

31那时,耶稣对他们说:“今夜,你们为我的缘故都要。因为经上记着说: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但我复活以后,要在你们以先往加利利去。”But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

彼得的夸口

33彼得说:“众人虽然为你的缘故跌倒,我却永不跌倒。”Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”

34耶稣说:“我实在告诉你,今夜以先,你要三次不认我。”“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35彼得说:“我就是必须和你同死,也总不能不认你。”众门徒都是这样说。Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

客西马尼的祷告

36耶稣同门徒来到一个地方,名叫,就对他们说:“你们坐在这里,等我到那边去祷告。”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于是带着彼得和西庇太的两个儿子同去,就忧愁起来,,He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38便对他们说:“我心里甚是忧伤,;你们在这里等候,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,祷告说:“我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫离开我。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.”

门徒睡着了

40来到门徒那里,见他们睡着了,就对彼得说:“怎么样?你们不能同我警醒片时吗?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总要警醒祷告,免得入了。你们心灵固然愿意,。”“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

42第二次又去祷告说:“我父啊,这杯若不能离开我,必要我喝,就愿你的意旨成全。”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又来,见他们睡着了,因为他们的眼睛。And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44耶稣又离开他们去了。第三次祷告,说的话还是与先前一样。So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

时候到了

45于是来到门徒那里,对他们说:“现在你们仍然睡觉安歇吧(吧:或译吗?)!时候到了,人子被卖在罪人手里了。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起来!我们走吧。看哪,卖我的人近了。”Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

犹大用亲嘴出卖耶稣

47说话之间,那十二个门徒里的犹大来了,并有许多人带着刀棒,从祭司长和民间的长老那里与他同来。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那卖耶稣的给了他们一个,说:“我与谁亲嘴,谁就是他。你们可以拿住他。”Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”

49犹大随即到耶稣跟前,说:“”,就与他亲嘴。Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50耶稣对他说:“朋友,你来要做的事,就做吧。”于是那些人上前,下手拿住耶稣。“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.

收刀入鞘

51有跟随耶稣的一个人伸手拔出刀来,将砍了一刀,削掉了他一个耳朵。At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

52耶稣对他说:“吧!凡动刀的,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,我不能求我父现在为我差遣来吗?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若是这样,经上所说,事情必须如此的话怎么应验呢?”But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”

门徒都逃走了

55当时,耶稣对众人说:“你们带着刀棒出来拿我,如同拿强盗吗?我天天坐在殿里教训人,你们并没有拿我。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但这一切的事成就了,为要应验先知书上的话。”当下,门徒都离开他逃走了。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

耶稣预言门徒今夜都要跌倒,彼得却自信地宣称绝不跌倒,耶稣却告知他将三次不认主。在客西马尼园中,耶稣经历极深的忧伤,三次祷告求父若可行就将这杯挪去,但最终顺服说“愿你的意旨成全”,门徒却三次都无法警醒。犹大随后带人以亲嘴为暗号出卖耶稣,有门徒拔刀抵抗,耶稣制止并指出这一切必须应验经上的话,门徒便都离开祂逃走了。

反思问题

  1. 彼得过度自信以为不会跌倒,却正是最软弱的时刻。你是否在某些信仰领域过于自信,反而忽略了警醒祷告的需要?
  2. 耶稣在极度痛苦中仍祷告“不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思”,当你面对极大的困难或不愿意走的路时,你能否学习这样的顺服交托?
  3. 门徒在耶稣最需要同伴的时刻睡着了,最终也都逃走了。在身边的人经历苦难时,你是否曾因软弱而缺席?你可以怎样操练与人同行、彼此守望?
