W2  2012-03-06 (士18)

經文: 士師記 18:31 神的殿在示羅多少日子，但人為自己設立米迦所雕刻的像也在但多少日子。

默想: 神的殿在示羅，但人卻不上示羅去敬拜耶和華，寧可敬拜自己在家裡設立由米迦那裡搶奪過來的銀偶像。耶和華是創造並掌管宇宙萬物的上帝，偶像卻是由人所鑄造，並且可以被人用武力強奪的東西。我們天性不喜歡被掌管，我們傾向造自己掌控一切。像創世記第三章所記載亞當與夏娃墮落的故事，那蛇對夏娃的誘惑就是，你可以用你的手去摘下那分別善惡樹上的果子，你可以成為如神一樣。本來在創世記第一章所記載，當耶和華造人時，就把上帝的形像與樣式賞賜給了人類。人類卻不願意用感恩的心，伸出雙手來接受上帝所賞賜這寶貴的禮物，寧可自己用手去摘取那果子，自己要達到如神的境界。求主幫助我，要尋求耶和華的面來敬拜他，不要自己設立自己的偶像來敬拜。要學習順服耶和華，不要自己以為聰明。

題目: 但人仗著人多勢眾，強行擄掠米迦所做的神像、祭司、家人、財物，當米迦追趕時，還明知故問「你聚集這許多人來做甚麼呢？」試問，我們是否有時也因人多，而欺壓了較弱勢的個人或團體？

18:1 那時，以色列中沒有王。但支派的人仍是尋地居住；因為到那日子，他們還沒有在以色列支派中得地為業。
In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking for itself an inheritance to dwell in; for until then no inheritance among the tribes of Israel had fallen to them.
18:2 但人從瑣拉和以實陶打發本族中的五個勇士，去仔細窺探那地，吩咐他們說：「你們去窺探那地。」他們來到以法蓮山地，進了米迦的住宅，就在那裡住宿。
So the Danites sent five able men from the whole number of their tribe, from Zorah and from Esh'ta-ol, to spy out the land and to explore it; and they said to them, "Go and explore the land." And they came to the hill country of E'phraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
18:3 他們臨近米迦的住宅，聽出那少年利未人的口音來，就進去問他說：「誰領你到這裡來？你在這裡做甚麼？你在這裡得甚麼？」
When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite; and they turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?"
18:4 他回答說：「米迦待我如此如此，請我作祭司。」
And he said to them, "Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest."
18:5 他們對他說：「請你求問　神，使我們知道所行的道路通達不通達。」
And they said to him, "Inquire of God, we pray thee, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed."
18:6 祭司對他們說：「你們可以平平安安地去，你們所行的道路是在耶和華面前的。」
And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the eye of the LORD."
18:7 五人就走了，來到拉億，見那裡的民安居無慮，如同西頓人安居一樣。在那地沒有人掌權擾亂他們；他們離西頓人也遠，與別人沒有來往。
Then the five men departed, and came to La'ish, and saw the people who were there, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Sido'nians, quiet and unsuspecting, lacking nothing that is in the earth, and possessing wealth, and how they were far from the Sido'nians and had no dealings with any one.
18:8 五人回到瑣拉和以實陶，見他們的弟兄；弟兄問他們說：「你們有甚麼話？」
And when they came to their brethren at Zorah and Esh'ta-ol, their brethren said to them, "What do you report?"
18:9 他們回答說：「起來，我們上去攻擊他們吧！我們已經窺探那地，見那地甚好。你們為何靜坐不動呢？要急速前往得那地為業，不可遲延。
They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very fertile. And will you do nothing? Do not be slow to go, and enter in and possess the land.
18:10 你們到了那裡，必看見安居無慮的民，地也寬闊。　神已將那地交在你們手中；那地百物俱全，一無所缺。」
When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is broad; yea, God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth."
18:11 於是但族中的六百人，各帶兵器，從瑣拉和以實陶前往，
And six hundred men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set forth from Zorah and Esh'ta-ol,
18:12 上到猶大的基列•耶琳，在基列•耶琳後邊安營。因此那地方名叫瑪哈尼•但，直到今日。
and went up and encamped at Kir'iath-je'arim in Judah. On this account that place is called Ma'haneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kir'iath-je'arim.
18:13 他們從那裡往以法蓮山地去，來到米迦的住宅。
And they passed on from there to the hill country of E'phraim, and came to the house of Micah.
18:14 從前窺探拉億地的五個人對他們的弟兄說：「這宅子裡有以弗得和家中的神像，並雕刻的像與鑄成的像，你們知道嗎？現在你們要想一想當怎樣行。」
Then the five men who had gone to spy out the country of La'ish said to their brethren, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, teraphim, a graven image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you will do."
18:15 五人就進入米迦的住宅，到了那少年利未人的房內問他好。
And they turned aside thither, and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.
18:16 那六百但人各帶兵器，站在門口。
Now the six hundred men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, stood by the entrance of the gate;
18:17 窺探地的五個人走進去，將雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，並鑄成的像，都拿了去。祭司和帶兵器的六百人，一同站在門口。
and the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up, and entered and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
18:18 那五個人進入米迦的住宅，拿出雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，並鑄成的像，祭司就問他們說：「你們做甚麼呢？」
And when these went into Micah's house and took the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
18:19 他們回答說：「不要作聲，用手摀口，跟我們去吧！我們必以你為父、為祭司。你作一家的祭司好呢？還是作以色列一族一支派的祭司好呢？」
And they said to him, "Keep quiet, put your hand upon your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and family in Israel?"
18:20 祭司心裡喜悅，便拿著以弗得和家中的神像，並雕刻的像，進入他們中間。
And the priest's heart was glad; he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
18:21 他們就轉身離開那裡，妻子、兒女、牲畜、財物都在前頭。
So they turned and departed, putting the little ones and the cattle and the goods in front of them.
18:22 離米迦的住宅已遠，米迦的近鄰都聚集來，追趕但人，
When they were a good way from the home of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house were called out, and they overtook the Danites.
18:23 呼叫但人。但人回頭問米迦說：「你聚集這許多人來做甚麼呢？」
And they shouted to the Danites, who turned round and said to Micah, "What ails you that you come with such a company?"
18:24 米迦說：「你們將我所做的神像和祭司都帶了去，我還有所剩的麼？怎麼還問我說『做甚麼』呢？」
And he said, "You take my gods which I made, and the priest, and go away, and what have I left? How then do you ask me, `What ails you?'"
18:25 但人對米迦說：「你不要使我們聽見你的聲音，恐怕有性暴的人攻擊你，以致你和你的全家盡都喪命。」
And the Danites said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and you lose your life with the lives of your household."
18:26 但人還是走他們的路。米迦見他們的勢力比自己強盛，就轉身回家去了。
Then the Danites went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his home.
18:27 但人將米迦所做的神像和他的祭司都帶到拉億，見安居無慮的民，就用刀殺了那民，又放火燒了那城，
And taking what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, the Danites came to La'ish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire.
18:28 並無人搭救；因為離西頓遠，他們又與別人沒有來往。城在平原，那平原靠近伯•利合。但人又在那裡修城居住，
And there was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any one. It was in the valley which belongs to Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city, and dwelt in it.
18:29 照著他們始祖以色列之子但的名字，給那城起名叫但；原先那城名叫拉億。
And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the name of the city was La'ish at the first.
18:30 但人就為自己設立那雕刻的像。摩西的孫子、革舜的兒子約拿單，和他的子孫作但支派的祭司，直到那地遭擄掠的日子。
And the Danites set up the graven image for themselves; and Jonathan the son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
18:31 　神的殿在示羅多少日子，但人為自己設立米迦所雕刻的像也在但多少日子。
So they set up Micah's graven image which he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.

W1 2012-03-05(士17)經文: 士師記 17:13 米迦說：現在我知道耶和華必賜福與我，因我有一個利未人作祭司。

W1  2012-03-05 (士17)

經文: 士師記 17:13 米迦說：現在我知道耶和華必賜福與我，因我有一個利未人作祭司。

默想: 米迦偷了母親的銀子而被母親咒詛。當他把銀子歸還母親時，母親確用其中一部份替他雕刻一座銀偶像，卻把這個稱為獻給耶和華。後來有一位利未少年人遊蕩到米迦家裡，尋找可以住宿之處。米迦就把他留下來，請他擔任這個銀偶像的祭司。然後米迦就自己慶幸，因為擁有一位利未少年人作為祭司，必會蒙耶和華的祝福。主啊！求你幫助我，不要像米迦一樣，把這些外在的宗教儀式物品與人物，視為蒙神祝福的保證，而是會遵行耶和華的命令，盡己愛神與愛鄰如己。

題目: 當時以色列民深受外族影響，自立祭司，雕塑偶像當作耶和華崇拜，甚至連利未人也忘記自己的身分，為五斗米折腰。試想在我們是否也為生活、利益，而輕看我們身為神兒女及尊貴的祭司身分？

17:1 以法蓮山地有一個人名叫米迦。
There was a man of the hill country of E'phraim, whose name was Micah.
17:2 他對母親說：「你那一千一百舍客勒銀子被人拿去，你因此咒詛，並且告訴了我。看哪，這銀子在我這裡，是我拿去了。」他母親說：「我兒啊，願耶和華賜福與你！」
And he said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."
17:3 米迦就把這一千一百舍客勒銀子還他母親。他母親說：「我分出這銀子來為你獻給耶和華，好雕刻一個像，鑄成一個像。現在我還是交給你。」
And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, "I consecrate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore I will restore it to you."
17:4 米迦將銀子還他母親，他母親將二百舍客勒銀子交給銀匠，雕刻一個像，鑄成一個像，安置在米迦的屋內。
So when he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave it to the silversmith, who made it into a graven image and a molten image; and it was in the house of Micah.
17:5 這米迦有了神堂，又製造以弗得和家中的神像，分派他一個兒子作祭司。
And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and installed one of his sons, who became his priest.
17:6 那時以色列中沒有王，各人任意而行。
In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
17:7 猶大的伯利恆有一個少年人，是猶大族的利未人，他在那裡寄居。
Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there.
17:8 這人離開猶大的伯利恆城，要找一個可住的地方。行路的時候，到了以法蓮山地，走到米迦的家。
And the man departed from the town of Bethlehem in Judah, to live where he could find a place; and as he journeyed, he came to the hill country of E'phraim to the house of Micah.
17:9 米迦問他說：「你從哪裡來？」他回答說：「從猶大的伯利恆來。我是利未人，要找一個可住的地方。」
And Micah said to him, "From where do you come?" And he said to him, "I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I may find a place."
17:10 米迦說：「你可以住在我這裡，我以你為父、為祭司。我每年給你十舍客勒銀子，一套衣服和度日的食物。」利未人就進了他的家。
And Micah said to him, "Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, and a suit of apparel, and your living."
17:11 利未人情願與那人同住；那人看這少年人如自己的兒子一樣。
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man became to him like one of his sons.
17:12 米迦分派這少年的利未人作祭司，他就住在米迦的家裡。
And Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
17:13 米迦說：「現在我知道耶和華必賜福與我，因我有一個利未人作祭司。」

W5 2012-03-02(士16)經文: 士師記 16:17 參孫就把心中所藏的都告訴了他，對他說：向來人沒有用剃頭刀剃我的頭，因為我自出母胎就歸 神作拿細耳人；若剃了我的頭髮，我的力氣就離開我，我便軟弱像別人一樣。

 

全新四年樂活讀經                        

W5  2012-03-02 (士16)

經文: 士師記 16:17 參孫就把心中所藏的都告訴了他，對他說：向來人沒有用剃頭刀剃我的頭，因為我自出母胎就歸  神作拿細耳人；若剃了我的頭髮，我的力氣就離開我，我便軟弱像別人一樣。

默想: 參孫理性知道，他從出母腹就歸耶和華作拿細耳人。拿細耳人的一個記號，就是留一頭長髮，完全不剃頭。(民6:2-5) 但是，參孫除了留了滿頭長髮之外，他的生活卻是毫無節制的陷溺在情色與暴力之間，一點也沒有過聖潔的生活。耶和華為了向以色列人施恩，雖然參孫的所謂拿細耳人的約，只剩下那滿頭的長髮，上帝依然賞賜給參孫超自然的體力，好讓他有能力制服非利士人，解救以色列人脫離非利士人的逼迫。那裡知道，參孫在大利拉的誆哄之下，最後終於把自己擁有超然能力的秘密完全告訴大利拉，以致於落得被抓為階下囚，並且被挖了雙眼。我覺得參孫最悲慘的是，大利拉已經三翻兩次出賣參孫，他卻仍舊執迷不誤，一直到大利拉已經將他的頭髮完全剃光了，他還不知道耶和華的靈已經離開了他，還想一展他的超然體力。當我們享受在神的恩典中一段時間之後，我們慢慢的，會自以為我們已經擁有上帝所賞賜的恩典了，產生了恃寵而驕的妄想，忘記了這些恩典都是來自耶和華的賞賜。約伯說的，耶和華賞賜，耶和華收回，耶和華的名是應當稱頌的。求主保守我，會珍惜上帝所賞賜的恩典，忠心服侍，並且小心保守自己，過討神喜悅的生活。

題目: 參孫順從私慾，終至自嚐苦果成為階下囚，至終仍向上主禱告「至高上主啊，求你記念我！上帝啊，懇求再一次賜給我力量，給我一次機會報非利士人挖我雙眼之仇」試想，在嚐盡苦果後，你是為滿足復仇私慾，亦或尋求神心意而向神祈求？

16:1 參孫到了迦薩，在那裡看見一個妓女，就與她親近。
Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a harlot, and he went in to her.
16:2 有人告訴迦薩人說：「參孫到這裡來了！」他們就把他團團圍住，終夜在城門悄悄埋伏，說：「等到夜天亮我們便殺他。」
The Gazites were told, "Samson has come here," and they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, "Let us wait till the light of the morning; then we will kill him."
16:3 參孫睡到半夜，起來，將城門的門扇、門框、門閂，一齊拆下來，扛在肩上，扛到希伯崙前的山頂上。
But Samson lay till midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that is before Hebron.
16:4 後來，參孫在梭烈谷喜愛一個婦人，名叫大利拉。
After this he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Deli'lah.
16:5 非利士人的首領上去見那婦人，對她說：「求你誆哄參孫，探探他因何有這麼大的力氣，我們用何法能勝他，捆綁剋制他。我們就每人給你一千一百舍客勒銀子。」
And the lords of the Philistines came to her and said to her, "Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to subdue him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."
16:6 大利拉對參孫說：「求你告訴我，你因何有這麼大的力氣，當用何法捆綁剋制你。」
And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Please tell me wherein your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you."
16:7 參孫回答說：「人若用七條未乾的青繩子捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings which have not been dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:8 於是非利士人的首領拿了七條未乾的青繩子來，交給婦人，她就用繩子捆綁參孫。
Then the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
16:9 有人預先埋伏在婦人的內室裡。婦人說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」參孫就掙斷繩子，如掙斷經火的麻線一般。這樣，他力氣的根由人還是不知道。
Now she had men lying in wait in an inner chamber. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the bowstrings, as a string of tow snaps when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.
16:10 大利拉對參孫說：「你欺哄我，向我說謊言。現在求你告訴我當用何法捆綁你。」
And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies; please tell me how you might be bound."
16:11 參孫回答說：「人若用沒有使過的新繩捆綁我，我就軟弱像別人一樣。」
And he said to her, "If they bind me with new ropes that have not been used, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:12 大利拉就用新繩捆綁他，對他說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」有人預先埋伏在內室裡。參孫將臂上的繩掙斷了，如掙斷一條線一樣。
So Deli'lah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And the men lying in wait were in an inner chamber. But he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread.
16:13 大利拉對參孫說：「你到如今還是欺哄我，向我說謊言。求你告訴我，當用何法捆綁你。」參孫回答說：「你若將我頭上的七條髮綹，與緯線同織就可以了。」
And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies; tell me how you might be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web and make it tight with the pin, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:14 於是大利拉將他的髮綹與緯線同織，用橛子釘住，對他說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」參孫從睡中醒來，將機上的橛子和緯線一齊都拔出來了。
So while he slept, Deli'lah took the seven locks of his head and wove them into the web. And she made them tight with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin, the loom, and the web.
16:15 大利拉對參孫說：「你既不與我同心，怎麼說你愛我呢？你這三次欺哄我，沒有告訴我，你因何有這麼大的力氣。」
And she said to him, "How can you say, `I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me wherein your great strength lies."
16:16 大利拉天天用話催逼他，甚至他心裡煩悶要死。
And when she pressed him hard with her words day after day, and urged him, his soul was vexed to death.
16:17 參孫就把心中所藏的都告訴了她，對她說：「向來人沒有用剃頭刀剃我的頭，因為我自出母胎就歸　神作拿細耳人；若剃了我的頭髮，我的力氣就離開我，我便軟弱像別人一樣。」
And he told her all his mind, and said to her, "A razor has never come upon my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I be shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
16:18 大利拉見他把心中所藏的都告訴了她，就打發人到非利士人的首領那裡，對他們說：「他已經把心中所藏的都告訴了我，請你們再上來一次。」於是非利士人的首領手裡拿著銀子，上到婦人那裡。
When Deli'lah saw that he had told her all his mind, she sent and called the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up this once, for he has told me all his mind." Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hands.
16:19 大利拉使參孫枕著她的膝睡覺，叫了一個人來剃除他頭上的七條髮綹。於是大利拉剋制他，他的力氣就離開他了。
She made him sleep upon her knees; and she called a man, and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.
16:20 大利拉說：「參孫哪，非利士人拿你來了！」參孫從睡中醒來，心裡說：「我要像前幾次出去活動身體」；他卻不知道耶和華已經離開他了。
And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free." And he did not know that the LORD had left him.
16:21 非利士人將他拿住，剜了他的眼睛，帶他下到迦薩，用銅鍊拘索他；他就在監裡推磨。
And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze fetters; and he ground at the mill in the prison.
16:22 然而他的頭髮被剃之後，又漸漸長起來了。
But the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.
16:23 非利士人的首領聚集，要給他們的神大袞獻大祭，並且歡樂，因為他們說：「我們的神將我們的仇敵參孫交在我們手中了。」
Now the lords of the Philistines gathered to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, "Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand."
16:24 眾人看見參孫，就讚美他們的神說：「我們的神將毀壞我們地、殺害我們許多人的仇敵交在我們手中了。」
And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, "Our god has given our enemy into our hand, the ravager of our country, who has slain many of us."
16:25 他們正宴樂的時候，就說：「叫參孫來，在我們面前戲耍戲耍。」於是將參孫從監裡提出來，他就在眾人面前戲耍。他們使他站在兩柱中間。
And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Call Samson, that he may make sport for us." So they called Samson out of the prison, and he made sport before them. They made him stand between the pillars;
16:26 參孫向拉他手的童子說：「求你讓我摸著托房的柱子，我要靠一靠。」
and Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them."
16:27 那時房內充滿男女，非利士人的眾首領也都在那裡。房的平頂上約有三千男女觀看參孫戲耍。
Now the house was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and on the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.
16:28 參孫求告耶和華說：「主耶和華啊，求你眷念我。　神啊，求你賜我這一次的力量，使我在非利士人身上報那剜我雙眼的仇。」
Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be avenged upon the Philistines for one of my two eyes."
16:29 參孫就抱住托房的那兩根柱子：左手抱一根，右手抱一根，
And Samson grasped the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and he leaned his weight upon them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other.
16:30 說：「我情願與非利士人同死！」就盡力屈身，房子倒塌，壓住首領和房內的眾人。這樣，參孫死時所殺的人比活著所殺的還多。
And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." Then he bowed with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain during his life.
16:31 參孫的弟兄和他父的全家都下去取他的屍首，抬上來葬在瑣拉和以實陶中間，在他父瑪挪亞的墳墓裡。參孫作以色列的士師二十年。
Then his brothers and all his family came down and took him and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Esh'ta-ol in the tomb of Mano'ah his father. He had judged Israel twenty years.

W4 2012-03-01(士15)經文: 士師記 15:7 參孫對非利士人說：你們既然這樣行，我必向你們報仇才肯罷休。

 

全新四年樂活讀經                        

W4  2012-03-01 (士15)

經文: 士師記 15:7 參孫對非利士人說：你們既然這樣行，我必向你們報仇才肯罷休。

默想: 從本段經文中，我們看到參孫與非利士人都是以復仇性公義 (retributive justice) 來處理彼此之間的傷害與挫折。復仇性公義最大的問題，是傷人者與復仇者對於該傷害的程度，以及如何才算是公義的評估標準，往往很難取得一致。當復仇者感覺，如此傷害對方，剛好是達到公義的要求時，傷人者卻感覺復仇者所造成的傷害程度，遠超過公義的標準。因此，冤冤相報，只會帶來一來一往、螺旋式的彼此傷害程度的加劇與擴大，一直到兩敗俱傷、同歸一盡的悲慘下場。主耶穌基督在十字架上臨死之前，為那些將他誣告以及把他釘死在十字架的人，向上帝禱告，求上帝能夠赦免他們。這種用饒恕來處理傷害的方法，開創了另外一種公義，稱為復和性公義 (restorative justice)。求主幫助我，在受到別人傷害時，能夠依靠主耶穌的力量，學習復和性公義的功課，免去復仇性公義的悲劇。

題目: 參孫經歷妻被奪、火燒非利士田、報殺妻之仇、同胞出賣後，又得上主的靈大大感動，擊殺一千人。事後，卻感口渴幾乎至死，向上主祈求，賜下活水泉，以致精神復原、活力充沛。試想你曾否經驗在人生的盡頭，竟看見神再次賜活水泉的恩典？

15:1 過了些日子，到割麥子的時候，參孫帶著一隻山羊羔去看他的妻，說：「我要進內室見我的妻。」他岳父不容他進去，
After a while, at the time of wheat harvest, Samson went to visit his wife with a kid; and he said, "I will go in to my wife in the chamber." But her father would not allow him to go in.
15:2 說：「我估定你是極其恨她，因此我將她給了你的陪伴。她的妹子不是比她還美麗嗎？你可以娶來代替她吧！」
And her father said, "I really thought that you utterly hated her; so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Pray take her instead."
15:3 參孫說：「這回我加害於非利士人不算有罪。」
And Samson said to them, "This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines, when I do them mischief."
15:4 於是參孫去捉了三百隻狐狸（或譯：野狗），將狐狸尾巴一對一對地捆上，將火把捆在兩條尾巴中間，
So Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches; and he turned them tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails.
15:5 點著火把，就放狐狸進入非利士人站著的禾稼，將堆集的禾捆和未割的禾稼，並橄欖園盡都燒了。
And when he had set fire to the torches, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the olive orchards.
15:6 非利士人說：「這事是誰做的呢？」有人說：「是亭拿人的女婿參孫，因為他岳父將他的妻給了他的陪伴。」於是非利士人上去，用火燒了婦人和她的父親。
Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" And they said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." And the Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
15:7 參孫對非利士人說：「你們既然這樣行，我必向你們報仇才肯罷休。」
And Samson said to them, "If this is what you do, I swear I will be avenged upon you, and after that I will quit."
15:8 參孫就大大擊殺他們，連腿帶腰都砍斷了。他便下去，住在以坦磐的穴內。
And he smote them hip and thigh with great slaughter; and he went down and stayed in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
15:9 非利士人上去安營在猶大，布散在利希。
Then the Philistines came up and encamped in Judah, and made a raid on Lehi.
15:10 猶大人說：「你們為何上來攻擊我們呢？」他們說：「我們上來是要捆綁參孫；他向我們怎樣行，我們也要向他怎樣行。」
And the men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he did to us."
15:11 於是有三千猶大人下到以坦磐的穴內，對參孫說：「非利士人轄制我們，你不知道麼？你向我們行的是甚麼事呢？」他回答說：「他們向我怎樣行，我也要向他們怎樣行。」
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
15:12 猶大人對他說：「我們下來是要捆綁你，將你交在非利士人手中。」參孫說：「你們要向我起誓，應承你們自己不害死我。」
And they said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves."
15:13 他們說：「我們斷不殺你，只要將你捆綁交在非利士人手中。」於是用兩條新繩捆綁參孫，將他從以坦磐帶上去。
They said to him, "No; we will only bind you and give you into their hands; we will not kill you." So they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
15:14 參孫到了利希，非利士人都迎著喧嚷。耶和華的靈大大感動參孫，他臂上的繩就像火燒的麻一樣，他的綁繩都從他手上脫落下來。
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes which were on his arms became as flax that has caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands.
15:15 他見一塊未乾的驢腮骨，就伸手拾起來，用以擊殺一千人。
And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put out his hand and seized it, and with it he slew a thousand men.
15:16 參孫說：我用驢腮骨殺人成堆，用驢腮骨殺了一千人。
And Samson said, "With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men."
15:17 說完這話，就把那腮骨從手裡拋出去了。那地便叫拉末•利希。
When he had finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ra'math-le'hi.
15:18 參孫甚覺口渴，就求告耶和華說：「你既藉僕人的手施行這麼大的拯救，豈可任我渴死、落在未受割禮的人手中呢？」
And he was very thirsty, and he called on the LORD and said, "Thou hast granted this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant; and shall I now die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?"
15:19 　神就使利希的窪處裂開，有水從其中湧出來。參孫喝了，精神復原；因此那泉名叫隱•哈歌利，那泉直到今日還在利希。
And God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi, and there came water from it; and when he drank, his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkor'e; it is at Lehi to this day.
15:20 當非利士人轄制以色列人的時候，參孫作以色列的士師二十年。
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

W2 2012-02-28(士13)經文: 士師記 13:8 瑪挪亞就祈求耶和華說：「主啊，求你再差遣那神人到我們這裡來，好指教我們怎樣待這將要生的孩子。

 

全新四年樂活讀經                        

W2  2012-02-28 (士13)

經文: 士師記 13:8 瑪挪亞就祈求耶和華說：「主啊，求你再差遣那神人到我們這裡來，好指教我們怎樣待這將要生的孩子。

默想: 瑪挪亞與妻子無法懷孕生育，耶和華差遣使者向他的妻子顯現，應許要賞賜給他們一個兒子。同時交待他們，這個兒子從出生就要歸耶和華作拿細耳人。妻子連忙把這個異象的經驗與瑪挪亞分享。瑪挪亞祈求耶和華，再度差遣使者，來教導他們，當如何教養這個上帝所特別賞賜的寶貝兒子。瑪挪亞夫婦是我們很好的榜樣。當他們不孕時，耐心等候上帝的恩典。當上帝應允要賞賜他們一個兒子時，他們向上帝祈求來教導他們，要如何作一個好父母，不只生養子女，還可以好好教養子女，讓子女一生走在討神喜悅的道路之上。箴言22章6節說，教養孩童，使他走當行的道，就是到老他也不偏離。求主教導我，如何才能好好的教導每一個你所賞賜給我們的寶貝子女。

題目: 以色列「又」得罪上主，上主「把他們交在」非利士人手中。試想，當我們又「偏行己路時」，上主「又」以慈愛管教我們，我們是否能悔悟知罪，回到正路，對準上主的道路？

13:1 以色列人又行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，耶和華將他們交在非利士人手中四十年。
And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
13:2 那時，有一個瑣拉人，是屬但族的，名叫瑪挪亞。他的妻不懷孕，不生育。
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Mano'ah; and his wife was barren and had no children.
13:3 耶和華的使者向那婦人顯現，對她說：「向來你不懷孕，不生育，如今你必懷孕生一個兒子。
And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have no children; but you shall conceive and bear a son.
13:4 所以你當謹慎，清酒濃酒都不可喝，一切不潔之物也不可吃。
Therefore beware, and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean,
13:5 你必懷孕生一個兒子，不可用剃頭刀剃他的頭，因為這孩子一出胎就歸　神作拿細耳人。他必起首拯救以色列人脫離非利士人的手。」
for lo, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from birth; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines."
13:6 婦人就回去對丈夫說：「有一個神人到我面前來，他的相貌如　神使者的相貌，甚是可畏。我沒有問他從哪裡來，他也沒有將他的名告訴我，
Then the woman came and told her husband, "A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name;
13:7 卻對我說：『你要懷孕生一個兒子，所以清酒濃酒都不可喝，一切不潔之物也不可吃；因為這孩子從出胎一直到死，必歸　神作拿細耳人。』」
but he said to me, `Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; so then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from birth to the day of his death.'"
13:8 瑪挪亞就祈求耶和華說：「主啊，求你再差遣那神人到我們這裡來，好指教我們怎樣待這將要生的孩子。」
Then Mano'ah entreated the LORD, and said, "O, LORD, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again to us, and teach us what we are to do with the boy that will be born."
13:9 　神應允瑪挪亞的話；婦人正坐在田間的時候，　神的使者又到她那裡，她丈夫瑪挪亞卻沒有同她在一處。
And God listened to the voice of Mano'ah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but Mano'ah her husband was not with her.
13:10 婦人急忙跑去告訴丈夫說：「那日到我面前來的人，又向我顯現。」
And the woman ran in haste and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me."
13:11 瑪挪亞起來跟隨他的妻來到那人面前，對他說：「與這婦人說話的就是你嗎？」他說：「是我。」
And Mano'ah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to this woman?" And he said, "I am."
13:12 瑪挪亞說：「願你的話應驗！我們當怎樣待這孩子，他後來當怎樣呢？」
And Mano'ah said, "Now when your words come true, what is to be the boy's manner of life, and what is he to do?"
13:13 耶和華的使者對瑪挪亞說：「我告訴婦人的一切事，她都當謹慎。
And the angel of the LORD said to Mano'ah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
13:14 葡萄樹所結的都不可吃，清酒濃酒都不可喝，一切不潔之物也不可吃。凡我所吩咐的，她都當遵守。」
She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe."
13:15 瑪挪亞對耶和華的使者說：「求你容我們款留你，好為你預備一隻山羊羔。」
Mano'ah said to the angel of the LORD, "Pray, let us detain you, and prepare a kid for you."
13:16 耶和華的使者對瑪挪亞說：「你雖然款留我，我卻不吃你的食物，你若預備燔祭就當獻與耶和華。」原來瑪挪亞不知道他是耶和華的使者。
And the angel of the LORD said to Mano'ah, "If you detain me, I will not eat of your food; but if you make ready a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD." (For Mano'ah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.)
13:17 瑪挪亞對耶和華的使者說：「請將你的名告訴我，到你話應驗的時候，我們好尊敬你。」
And Mano'ah said to the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honor you?"
13:18 耶和華的使者對他說：「你何必問我的名，我名是奇妙的。」
And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"
13:19 瑪挪亞將一隻山羊羔和素祭在磐石上獻與耶和華，使者行奇妙的事；瑪挪亞和他的妻觀看，
So Mano'ah took the kid with the cereal offering, and offered it upon the rock to the LORD, to him who works wonders.
13:20 見火焰從壇上往上升，耶和華的使者在壇上的火焰中也升上去了。瑪挪亞和他的妻看見，就俯伏於地。
And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar while Mano'ah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
13:21 耶和華的使者不再向瑪挪亞和他的妻顯現，瑪挪亞才知道他是耶和華的使者。
The angel of the LORD appeared no more to Mano'ah and to his wife. Then Mano'ah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.
13:22 瑪挪亞對他的妻說：「我們必要死，因為看見了　神。」
And Mano'ah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, for we have seen God."
13:23 他的妻卻對他說：「耶和華若要殺我們，必不從我們手裡收納燔祭和素祭，並不將這一切事指示我們，今日也不將這些話告訴我們。」
But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and a cereal offering at our hands, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us such things as these."
13:24 後來婦人生了一個兒子，給他起名叫參孫。孩子長大，耶和華賜福與他。
And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the boy grew, and the LORD blessed him.
13:25 在瑪哈尼•但，就是瑣拉和以實陶中間，耶和華的靈才感動他。
And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Ma'haneh-dan, between Zorah and Esh'ta-ol.
