旧约约书亚记 19:1–20:9

前情提要

上回说到

昨天(16–18 章):以法莲和玛拿西分得中部的地,西罗非哈的女儿也得了产业;约瑟子孙嫌地窄小,约书亚要他们去开垦山林。会幕设在示罗,约书亚责问其余七个支派“耽延不去得,要到几时呢”,派人划明地势,为他们拈阄,先分给便雅悯。

今天你会读到

其余六个支派依次拈阄:西缅的地业在犹大境内,接着是西布伦、以萨迦、亚设、拿弗他利和但,但支派又北上夺取利善。分地完毕,百姓把亭拿‧西拉给约书亚为业。第 20 章,神吩咐设立六座逃城,保护误杀人的人。

阅读小提示

留意 –50:主持分地的约书亚,是最后一个拿到自己产业的人;他要的只是以法莲山地的一座城,而且还要自己修建那城。

点时代可看说明

传统年代约主前 1400 年前后;西缅的城邑都在犹大境内,后来渐渐融入犹大,呼应了雅各说要把西缅和利未分散在以色列中的话()。

约书亚记 第 19 章

西缅的地业

1为西缅支派的人,按着宗族,。他们所得的地业是在犹大人地业中间。The second lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Simeon: Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah

2他们所得为业之地就是:别是巴(或名示巴)、摩拉大、and included Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah,

3哈萨·书亚、巴拉、以森、Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem,

4伊利多拉、比土力、何珥玛、Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,

5洗革拉、伯·玛加博、哈萨·苏撒、Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah,

6伯·利巴勿、沙鲁险,共十三座城,还有属城的村庄;Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities, along with their villages.

7又有亚因、利门、以帖、亚珊,共四座城,还有属城的村庄;Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities, along with their villages,

8并有这些城邑四围一切的村庄,直到巴拉·比珥,就是南地的拉玛。这是西缅支派按着宗族所得的地业。and all the villages surrounding these cities as far as Baalath-beer (Ramah of the Negev). This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Simeon.

9西缅人的地业是从犹大人地业中得来的;因为犹大人的分,所以西缅人在他们的地业中得了地业。The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the territory of Judah, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them. So the Simeonites received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.

西布伦的地业

10为西布伦人,按着宗族,拈出第三阄。他们地业的境界是到撒立;The third lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Zebulun: The border of their inheritance stretched as far as Sarid.

11往西上到玛拉拉,达到大巴设,又达到约念前的河;It went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam.

12又从撒立往东转向日出之地,到吉斯绿·他泊的境界,又通到大比拉,上到雅非亚;From Sarid it turned eastward along the border of Chisloth-tabor and went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.

13从那里往东,接连到迦特·希弗,至以特·加汛,通到临门,临门延到尼亚;From there it crossed eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon and curved around toward Neah.

14又绕过尼亚的北边,转到哈拿顿,通到伊弗他·伊勒谷。Then the border circled around the north side of Neah to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el.

15还有加他、拿哈拉、伸仑、以大拉、,共十二座城,还有属城的村庄。It also included Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem. There were twelve cities, along with their villages.

16这些城并属城的村庄就是西布伦人按着宗族所得的地业。This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Zebulun, including these cities and their villages.

22又达到、沙哈洗玛、伯·示麦,直通到约旦河为止,共十六座城,还有属城的村庄。The border reached Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and ended at the Jordan. There were sixteen cities, along with their villages.

23这些城并属城的村庄就是以萨迦支派按着宗族所得的地业。This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Issachar, including these cities and their villages.

亚设的地业

24为亚设支派,按着宗族,拈出第五阄。The fifth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Asher:

25他们的境界是黑甲、哈利、比田、押煞、Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,

26亚拉米勒、亚末、米沙勒;往西达到迦密,又到希曷·立纳,Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath,

27转向日出之地,到伯·大衮,达到细步纶;往北到伊弗他·伊勒谷,到伯·以墨和尼业,也通到迦步勒的左边;then turned eastward toward Beth-dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah-el, and went north to Beth-emek and Neiel, passing Cabul on the left.

28又到义伯仑、利合、哈们、加拿,直到西顿大城;It went on to Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.

29转到拉玛和坚固城;又转到何萨,靠近亚革悉一带地方,直通到海;The border then turned back toward Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre, turned toward Hosah, and came out at the Sea in the region of Achzib,

30又有乌玛、亚弗、利合,共二十二座城,还有属城的村庄。Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. There were twenty-two cities, along with their villages.

31这些城并属城的村庄就是亚设支派按着宗族所得的地业。This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Asher, including these cities and their villages.

拿弗他利的地业

32为拿弗他利人,按着宗族,拈出第六阄。The sixth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Naphtali:

33他们的境界是从希利弗从撒拿音的橡树,从亚大米·尼吉和雅比聂,直到拉共,通到约旦河;Their border started at Heleph and the great tree of Zaanannim, passing Adami-nekeb and Jabneel as far as Lakkum and ending at the Jordan.

34又转向西到亚斯纳·他泊,从那里通到户割,南边到西布伦,西边到亚设,又向日出之地,达到约旦河那里的犹大。Then the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor and ran from there to Hukkok, touching Zebulun on the south side, Asher on the west, and Judah at the Jordan on the east.

35坚固的城就是:西丁、、哈末、拉甲、基尼烈、The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth,

36亚大玛、拉玛、夏琐、Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

37基低斯、以得来、隐·夏琐、Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor,

38以利稳、密大·伊勒、和琏、伯·亚纳、伯·示麦,共十九座城,还有属城的村庄。Iron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh. There were nineteen cities, along with their villages.

39这些城并属城的村庄就是拿弗他利支派按着宗族所得的地业。This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Naphtali, including these cities and their villages.

但的地业

40为但支派,按着宗族,拈出第七阄。The seventh lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Dan:

41他们地业的境界是琐拉、以实陶、伊珥·示麦、The territory of their inheritance included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh,

46美·耶昆、拉昆,并约帕对面的地界。Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, including the territory across from Joppa.

但人夺取利善

47但人的地界越过原得的地界;因为但人上去攻取,用刀击杀城中的人,得了那城,住在其中,以他们先祖但的名将利善改名为但。(Later, when the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and put it to the sword. So they took possession of Leshem, settled there, and renamed it after their father Dan.)

48这些城并属城的村庄就是但支派按着宗族所得的地业。This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Dan, including these cities and their villages.

约书亚的产业

49以色列人按着境界分完了地业,就在他们中间将地给嫩的儿子约书亚为业,When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

50是照耶和华的吩咐,将约书亚所求的城,就是以法莲山地的亭拿·西拉城,给了他。他就那城,住在其中。as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the city of Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, as he requested. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.

51这就是祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚,并以色列各支派的族长,在示罗会幕门口,耶和华面前,拈阄所分的地业。这样,他们把地分完了。These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.

约书亚记 第 20 章

设立逃城

1耶和华晓谕约书亚说:Then the LORD said to Joshua,

2“你吩咐以色列人说:你们要照着我借摩西所晓谕你们的,为自己设立,“Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,

3使那人的,可以逃到那里。这些城可以作你们逃避人的地方。so that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

4那杀人的要逃到这些城中的一座城,站在,将他的事情说给城内的长老们听。他们就把他收进城里,给他地方,使他住在他们中间。When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before its elders, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them.

5若是报血仇的追了他来,长老不可将他交在报血仇的手里;因为他是,无心杀了人的。Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not surrender the manslayer into his hand, because that man killed his neighbor accidentally without prior malice.

6他要住在那城里,站在会众面前,等到那时的死了,杀人的才可以回到本城本家,就是他所逃出来的那城。”He is to stay in that city until he stands trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest serving at that time. Then the manslayer may return to his own home in the city from which he fled.”

六座逃城

7于是,以色列人在拿弗他利山地分定加利利的基低斯;在以法莲山地分定示剑;在犹大山地分定基列·亚巴(基列·亚巴就是希伯仑);So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

8又在约旦河外耶利哥东,从流便支派中,在旷野的平原,设立比悉;从迦得支派中设立基列的拉末;从玛拿西支派中设立巴珊的哥兰。And beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho, they designated Bezer on the wilderness plateau from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.

9这都是为以色列众人和在他们中间寄居的外人所分定的城邑,使误杀人的都可以逃到那里,不死在报血仇人的手中,等他站在会众面前听审判。These are the cities appointed for all the Israelites and foreigners among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.

摘要

约书亚记第十九章记载以色列剩余六个支派(西缅、西布伦、以萨迦、亚设、拿弗他利、但)透过拈阄分配地业的过程,每个支派按宗族得到各自的城邑与村庄,最后众人也将亭拿西拉城分给约书亚作为他个人的产业。第二十章则记载耶和华吩咐设立六座逃城——约但河西三座、河东三座——让误杀人者可以逃避报血仇之人,在会众面前受公正审判,彰显神对公义与怜悯的兼顾。

反思问题

  1. 神按着各支派的需要分配产业,你是否相信神对你人生各方面的供应也有祂独特的安排?在哪些领域你需要更多信靠祂的分配?
  2. 逃城的设立显示神既重视公义也顾念怜悯。在你的人际关系中,你如何在追求公正与给予恩典之间取得平衡?
  3. 约书亚在所有支派分完地业后才领受自己的产业,展现了先人后己的领袖榜样。在你的服事或工作中,你是否愿意先顾及他人的需要,再考虑自己的利益?

新约路加福音 10:1–24

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():耶稣定意往耶路撒冷去;撒马利亚的村庄不接待祂,雅各和约翰想求火烧灭他们,被耶稣责备。路上有人想跟从耶稣,耶稣说“人子没有枕头的地方”,又说“手扶着犁向后看的,不配进 神的国”。

今天你会读到

耶稣另外设立七十个人,两个两个地差他们出去,教导他们怎样传道、怎样面对不接待的城,又为不肯悔改的哥拉汛、伯赛大、迦百农哀叹。七十人欢喜回来,耶稣提醒他们要因名字记录在天上欢喜,并感谢父将这些事向婴孩显出来。

阅读小提示

留意 耶稣的提醒:不要因为鬼服了你们就欢喜,要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜。事奉的果效固然可喜,更根本的喜乐是自己属于神。

点时代可看说明

差遣七十人是路加独有的记载;路加在 以后的旅程段落中,收录了许多其他福音书没有的教导。

路加福音 第 10 章

差遣七十个人

1这事以后,主又设立,差遣他们两个两个地在他前面,往自己所要到的各城各地方去,After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.

庄稼多,工人少

2就对他们说:“要收的多,做工的人少。所以,你们当求庄稼的主打发工人出去收他的庄稼。And He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.

3你们去吧!我差你们出去,如同羊羔进入狼群。Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.

4不要带,不要带口袋,不要带鞋;在路上也不要。Carry no purse or bag or sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.

进城进家的吩咐

5无论进哪一家,先要说:‘愿这一家平安。’Whatever house you enter, begin by saying, ‘Peace to this house.’

6那里若有(当得平安的人:原文是平安之子),你们所求的平安就必临到那家;不然,就归与你们了。If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you.

7你们要住在那家,吃喝他们所供给的,因为工人得是应当的;不要从这家搬到那家。Stay at the same house, eating and drinking whatever you are offered. For the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

8无论进哪一城,人若接待你们,给你们摆上什么,你们就吃什么。If you enter a town and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you.

9要医治那城里的病人,对他们说:‘ 神的国临近你们了。’Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God is near you.’

不接待的城

10无论进哪一城,人若不接待你们,你们就到街上去,But if you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go into the streets and declare,

11说:‘就是你们城里的尘土黏在我们的脚上,我们也当着你们。虽然如此,你们该知道 神的国临近了。’‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’

12我告诉你们,当审判的日子,所受的,比那城还容易受呢!”I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

哥拉汛、伯赛大有祸了

13“哪,你有祸了!伯赛大啊,你有祸了!因为在你们中间所行的若行在泰尔、西顿,他们早已,坐在地上悔改了。Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14当审判的日子,泰尔、西顿所受的,比你们还容易受呢!But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

15迦百农啊,你已经升到天上(或译:你将要升到天上吗),将来必推下。”And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades!

听从你们就是听从我

16又对门徒说:“听从你们的就是听从我;弃绝你们的就是弃绝我;弃绝我的就是弃绝那差我来的。”Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

七十人欢喜回来

17那七十个人欢欢喜喜地回来,说:“主啊!因你的名,就是鬼也服了我们。”The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”

18耶稣对他们说:“我曾看见从天上坠落,像闪电一样。So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

19我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和子,又胜过仇敌一切的能力,断没有什么能害你们。Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

20然而,不要因鬼服了你们就欢喜,要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜。”Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

向婴孩显出来

21正当那时,耶稣被圣灵感动就欢乐,说:“父啊,天地的主,我感谢你!因为你将这些事向聪明通达人就藏起来,向就显出来。父啊!是的,因为你的本是如此。At that time Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

22一切所有的都是我父交付我的;除了父,没有人知道子是谁;除了子和子所愿意指示的,没有人知道父是谁。”All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

看见的眼睛有福了

23耶稣转身暗暗地对门徒说:“看见你们所看见的,那眼睛就有福了。Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

24我告诉你们,从前有许多先知和君王要看你们所看的,却没有看见,要听你们所听的,却没有听见。”For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

摘要

路加福音第十章记载耶稣差遣七十个门徒两两出去传道、医病,宣告神国临近,并警告拒绝福音之城将受审判;门徒欢喜回报连鬼也服了他们,耶稣却提醒他们应以名记录在天上为真正的喜乐。随后耶稣藉好撒玛利亚人的比喻教导“爱邻舍”的真义在于实际的怜悯行动,又在马大与马利亚的故事中指出:在忙碌服事之外,安静坐在主脚前聆听祂的话语才是那“不可少的一件”。

反思问题

  1. 耶稣说‘要收的庄稼多,做工的人少’,你在日常生活中是否看见身边有需要福音的人?你可以用什么具体方式回应这个呼召?
  2. 好撒玛利亚人的比喻挑战我们跨越偏见去爱那些与我们不同的人。在你的生活圈中,有谁是你容易忽略却需要你伸出援手的‘邻舍’?
  3. 马大忙于服事却心里烦乱,马利亚选择坐在耶稣脚前听道。在你目前的生活节奏中,你是否为许多事思虑烦扰而忽略了与神亲近的时间?你可以如何调整?
