前情提要

上回说到

昨天():神吩咐王要施行公平,用公道的天平和量器,在节期、月朔、安息日为全家预备祭;46 章规定每日早晨的燔祭、王和百姓进出圣殿的门,王不可夺取民的产业,以及煮祭物的地方。

今天你会读到

以西结看见水从殿的门槛下往东流出,越流越深,从脚踝、膝盖涨到腰,终于成了不能蹚过的河;河水流到死海,使水变甜,两岸的树每月结果,叶子可以治病()。接着神划定地的四界,寄居的外人也同得地业;48 章是十二支派的分地,城的十二个门按支派命名,城名叫“耶和华的所在”。以西结书读完。

以西结书 第 47 章

水从殿的门槛下流出

1他带我回到殿门,见殿的门槛下有水往东流出(原来殿面朝东)。这水从槛下,由殿的右边,在祭坛的南边往下流。Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.

2他带我出北门,又领我从外边转到朝东的外门,见水从右边流出。Next he brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and there I saw the water trickling out from the south side.

水越来越深

3他手拿准绳往东出去的时候,量了一千肘,使我水,水到。As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through ankle-deep water.

4他又量了一千肘,使我蹚过水,水就到膝;再量了一千肘,使我蹚过水,水便到腰;Then he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through knee-deep water. Again he measured a thousand cubits and led me through waist-deep water.

5又量了一千肘,水便成了河,使我不能蹚过。因为水势涨起,成为,不可蹚的河。Once again he measured off a thousand cubits, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough for swimming—a river that could not be crossed on foot.

河水所到之处都必生活

6他对我说:“人子啊,你看见了什么?”他就带我回到河边。“Son of man, do you see this?” he asked. Then he led me back to the bank of the river.

7我回到河边的时候,见在河这边与那边的岸上有极多的树木。When I arrived, I saw a great number of trees along both banks of the river.

8他对我说:“这水往东方流去,必下到,直到海。所发出来的水必流入盐海,使水(原文是得医治;下同)。And he said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah. When it empties into the Dead Sea, the water there becomes fresh.

9这河水所到之处,凡都必生活,并且因这流来的水必有极多的鱼,海水也变甜了。这河水所到之处,百物都必生活。Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish.

10必有渔夫站在河边,从直到隐·以革莲,都作晒(或译:张)网之处。那鱼各从其类,好像大海的鱼甚多。Fishermen will stand by the shore; from En-gedi to En-eglaim they will spread their nets to catch fish of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.

11只是泥泞之地与不得治好,必为盐地。But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.

河边的果树

12在河这边与那边的岸上必生长各类的树木;其果可作食物,叶子不枯干,果子不断绝。每月必结新果子,因为这水是从圣所流出来的。树上的果子必作食物,叶子乃为。”Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of all kinds will grow. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be used for food and their leaves for healing.”

地的四界

13主耶和华如此说:“你们要照地的境界,按以色列十二支派分地为业。必得两分。This is what the Lord GOD says: “These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall receive two portions.

14你们承受这地为业,要彼此均分;因为我曾起誓应许将这地赐与你们的列祖;这地必归你们为业。You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with an uplifted hand to give it to your forefathers, this land will fall to you as an inheritance.

15“地的四界乃是如此:北界从往希特伦,直到西达达口。This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side it will extend from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon through Lebo-hamath to Zedad,

16又往、比罗他、西伯莲(西伯莲在大马士革与哈马两界中间),到浩兰边界的哈撒·哈提干。Berothah, and Sibraim (which is on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.

17这样,境界从海边往大马士革地界上的哈萨·以难,北边以哈马地为界。这是北界。So the border will run from the Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.

18东界在浩兰、大马士革、基列,和以色列地的中间,就是约旦河。你们要从北界量到东海。这是东界。On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Eastern Sea and as far as Tamar. This will be the eastern boundary.

19南界是从他玛到米利巴·加低斯的水,延到,直到大海。这是南界。On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the southern boundary.

20“西界就是大海,从南界直到哈马口对面之地。这是西界。And on the west side, the Great Sea will be the boundary up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This will be the western boundary.

寄居的外人同得地业

21“你们要按着以色列的支派彼此分这地。You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

22要拈阄分这地为业,归与自己和你们中间寄居的,就是在你们中间生养儿女的外人。你们要看他们如同以色列人中所生的一样;他们在以色列支派中要与你们同得地业。You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners who dwell among you and who have children. You are to treat them as native-born Israelites; along with you, they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.

23外人寄居在哪支派中,你们就在那里分给他地业。这是主耶和华说的。”In whatever tribe a foreigner dwells, you are to assign his inheritance there,” declares the Lord GOD.

以西结书 第 48 章

北边七个支派的分

1众支派按名所得之地记在下面:从北头,由希特伦往哈马口,到大马士革地界上的哈萨·以难。北边靠着哈马地(各支派的地都有东西的边界),是但的一分。“Now these are the names of the tribes: At the northern frontier, Dan will have one portion bordering the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath and running on to Hazar-enan on the border of Damascus with Hamath to the north, and extending from the east side to the west side.

2挨着但的地界,从东到西,是亚设的一分。Asher will have one portion bordering the territory of Dan from east to west.

3挨着亚设的地界,从东到西,是拿弗他利的一分。Naphtali will have one portion bordering the territory of Asher from east to west.

4挨着拿弗他利的地界,从东到西,是玛拿西的一分。Manasseh will have one portion bordering the territory of Naphtali from east to west.

5挨着玛拿西的地界,从东到西,是以法莲的一分。Ephraim will have one portion bordering the territory of Manasseh from east to west.

6挨着以法莲的地界,从东到西,是流便的一分。Reuben will have one portion bordering the territory of Ephraim from east to west.

7挨着流便的地界,从东到西,是犹大的一分。Judah will have one portion bordering the territory of Reuben from east to west.

圣供地:祭司与利未人的地

8挨着犹大的地界,从东到西,必有你们所当献的供地,宽二万五千肘。从东界到西界,长短与各分之地相同,圣地当在其中。Bordering the territory of Judah, from east to west, will be the portion you are to set apart. It will be 25,000 cubits wide, and the length of a tribal portion from east to west. In the center will be the sanctuary.

9你们献与耶和华的供地要长二万五千肘,宽一万肘。The special portion you set apart to the LORD shall be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide.

10这圣供地要归与祭司,北长二万五千肘,西宽一万肘,东宽一万肘,南长二万五千肘。耶和华的圣地当在其中。This will be the holy portion for the priests. It will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side, and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. In the center will be the sanctuary of the LORD.

11这地要归与撒督的子孙中成为圣的祭司,就是那守我所吩咐的。当以色列人走迷的时候,他们不像那些利未人走迷了。It will be for the consecrated priests, the descendants of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.

12这要归与他们为供地,是全地中至圣的。供地挨着利未人的地界。It will be a special portion for them set apart from the land, a most holy portion adjacent to the territory of the Levites.

13利未人所得的地要长二万五千肘,宽一万肘,与祭司的地界相等,都长二万五千肘,宽一万肘。Bordering the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. The whole length will be 25,000 cubits, and the width 10,000 cubits.

14这地不可卖,不可换,初熟之物也不可归与别人,因为是归耶和华为圣的。They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD.

城和城的郊野

15这二万五千肘前面所剩下五千肘宽之地要作俗用,作为造城盖房郊野之地。城要在当中。The remaining area, 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, for houses, and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it

16城的尺寸乃是如此:北面四千五百肘,南面四千五百肘,东面四千五百肘,西面四千五百肘。and will have these measurements: 4,500 cubits on the north side, 4,500 cubits on the south side, 4,500 cubits on the east side, and 4,500 cubits on the west side.

17城必有郊野,向北二百五十肘,向南二百五十肘,向东二百五十肘,向西二百五十肘。The pastureland of the city will extend 250 cubits to the north, 250 cubits to the south, 250 cubits to the east, and 250 cubits to the west.

18靠着圣供地的余地,东长一万肘,西长一万肘,要与圣供地相等;其中的土产要作城内工人的食物。The remainder of the length bordering the holy portion and running adjacent to it will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.

19所有以色列支派中,在城内做工的,都要耕种这地。The workers of the city who cultivate it will come from all the tribes of Israel.

20你们所献的圣供地连归城之地,是四方的:长二万五千肘,宽二万五千肘。The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits. You are to set apart the holy portion, along with the city property.

归王的地

21圣供地连归城之地,两边的余地要归与王。供地东边,南北二万五千肘,东至东界,西边南北二万五千肘,西至西界,与各分之地相同,都要归王。圣供地和殿的圣地要在其中,The remaining area on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city will belong to the prince. He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, extending eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the holy district toward the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. And in the center of them will be the holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple.

22并且利未人之地,与归城之地的东西两边延长之地(这两地在王地中间),就是在犹大和便雅悯两界中间,要归与王。So the Levitical property and the city property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin.

南边五个支派的分

23论到其余的支派,从东到西,是便雅悯的一分。As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin will have one portion extending from the east side to the west side.

24挨着便雅悯的地界,从东到西,是西缅的一分。Simeon will have one portion bordering the territory of Benjamin from east to west.

25挨着西缅的地界,从东到西,是以萨迦的一分。Issachar will have one portion bordering the territory of Simeon from east to west.

26挨着以萨迦的地界,从东到西,是西布伦的一分。Zebulun will have one portion bordering the territory of Issachar from east to west.

27挨着西布伦的地界,从东到西,是迦得的一分。And Gad will have one portion bordering the territory of Zebulun from east to west.

28迦得地的南界是从他玛到米利巴·加低斯的水,延到埃及小河,直到大海。The southern border of Gad will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then along the Brook of Egypt and out to the Great Sea.

29这就是你们要拈阄分给以色列支派为业之地,乃是他们各支派所得之分。这是主耶和华说的。This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,” declares the Lord GOD.

城的十二个门

30城的北面四千五百肘。出城之处如下;“These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which will be 4,500 cubits long,

31城的各门要按以色列支派的名字。北面有三门,一为流便门,一为犹大门,一为利未门;the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. On the north side there will be three gates: the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah, and the gate of Levi.

32东面四千五百肘,有三门,一为约瑟门,一为便雅悯门,一为但门;On the east side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, and the gate of Dan.

33南面四千五百肘,有三门,一为西缅门,一为以萨迦门,一为西布伦门;On the south side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar, and the gate of Zebulun.

34西面四千五百肘,有三门,一为迦得门,一为亚设门,一为拿弗他利门。And on the west side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, and the gate of Naphtali.

耶和华的所在

35城四围共一万八千肘。从此以后,这城的名字必称为。The perimeter of the city will be 18,000 cubits, and from that day on the name of the city will be: THE LORD IS THERE.”

摘要

以西结见异象:有水从圣殿门槛下涌流而出,水势由浅至深,渐成不可逿过的大河,河水所到之处带来医治与生命,使盐海变甜、万物滋生、两岸树木结果不断。随后神吩咐按十二支派分配应许之地的疆界,并特别强调寄居的外人也当与以色列人同得地业。第四十八章详列各支派分地、圣供地与城的规划,城有十二门以各支派命名,全书以“这城的名字必称为耶和华的所在”作为结语,宣告神永远与祂子民同在。

反思问题

  1. 圣殿流出的活水由浅入深,象征神恩典的丰盛与扩展;你目前与神的关系是停留在“踝子骨”的浅处,还是愿意进入更深的委身?
  2. 神吩咐寄居的外人也要同得地业,显明祂接纳的心意;在你的信仰群体中,你如何实践对“外来者”的接纳与包容?
  3. 以西结书以“耶和华的所在”作结尾,强调神同在是一切盼望的核心;在你日常生活中,什么最能帮助你意识到神的同在?

新约约翰一书 2:12–27

前情提要

上回说到

昨天():约翰见证他亲手摸过的生命之道;神就是光,若认自己的罪,神必赦免;犯了罪有中保耶稣基督;认识神的人遵守祂的诫命,爱弟兄的住在光明中。

今天你会读到

约翰分别对小子、父老、少年人说话,肯定他们罪得赦免、认识父、胜了那恶者。接着劝勉不要爱世界,因为肉体的情欲、眼目的情欲、今生的骄傲都要过去。又警告已经有好些“敌基督的”出来,不认耶稣是基督;但信徒从主受了恩膏,要把从起初所听见的常存在心里,住在主里面。

阅读小提示

列出世界的三样引诱:“肉体的情欲、眼目的情欲,并今生的骄傲”。可以对照,夏娃看那果子“好作食物,也悦人的眼目”。

点时代可看说明

说有些人从教会出去了;许多学者认为当时有人否认耶稣是基督或否认祂真的成了肉身,造成教会分裂。

约翰壹书 第 2 章

写给小子、父老、少年人

12们哪,我写信给你们,因为你们的罪借着主名得了赦免。I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.

13啊,我写信给你们,因为你们认识那从起初原有的。少年人哪,我写信给你们,因为你们胜了。小子们哪,我曾写信给你们,因为你们认识父。I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

14父老啊,我曾写信给你们,因为你们认识那从起初原有的。少年人哪,我曾写信给你们;因为你们刚强, 神的道常存在你们心里;你们也胜了那恶者。I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

不要爱世界

15不要爱世界和世界上的事。人若爱世界,爱父的心就不在他里面了。Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16因为,凡世界上的事,就像肉体的情欲、,并,都不是从父来的,乃是从世界来的。For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

17这世界和其上的情欲都要过去,惟独遵行 神旨意的,是永远。The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.

敌基督的已经出来

18小子们哪,如今是了。你们曾听见说,那要来;现在已经有好些敌基督的出来了,从此我们就知道如今是末时了。Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.

19他们从我们中间出去,却不是属我们的;若是属我们的,就必仍旧与我们同在;他们出去,显明都不是属我们的。They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.

从那圣者受了恩膏

20你们从受了,并且知道这一切的事(或译:都有知识)。You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.

21我写信给你们,不是因你们不知道真理,正是因你们知道,并且知道没有虚谎是从真理出来的。I have not written to you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.

22谁是说谎话的呢?不是那不认耶稣为基督的吗?不认父与子的,这就是敌基督的。Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

23凡不,就没有父;认子的,连父也有了。Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.

将起初所听见的常存在心里

24论到你们,务要将那从起初所听见的,常存在心里。若将从起初所听见的存在心里,你们就必住在子里面,也必住在父里面。As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.

25主所应许我们的就是永生。And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.

恩膏的教训

26我将这些话写给你们,是指着那你们的人说的。I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.

27你们从主所受的恩膏常存在你们心里,并不用人教训你们,自有主的恩膏在凡事上教训你们。这恩膏是真的,不是假的;你们要按这恩膏的教训住在主里面。And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught.

摘要

使徒约翰分别对小子、父老、少年人说话,肯定他们在信仰中已有的根基——罪得赦免、认识神、胜过恶者。接着严肃警告不要爱世界,因为肉体的情欲、眼目的情欲和今生的骄傲都不是从父来的,世界和其上的情欲终必过去,唯独遵行神旨意的永远常存。约翰也提醒信徒防备敌基督的迷惑,要持守从起初所听见的真道,倚靠圣灵的恩膏分辨真假,住在主里面。

反思问题

  1. 约翰提到肉体的情欲、眼目的情欲和今生的骄傲三种试探;在你目前的生活中,哪一种对你的影响最大,你如何靠主胜过?
  2. 经文说敌基督的人“从我们中间出去”,提醒我们假教导可能来自内部;你用什么标准来分辨所接收的教导是否合乎真理?
  3. 约翰鼓励信徒倚靠圣灵的恩膏住在主里面;在日常决策和灵性生活中,你如何操练聆听圣灵的引导?
