申命記 28:1
- 68
Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.
All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him.
Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you.
The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity-in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground-in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.
The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess.
The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.
The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.
The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth.
Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.
The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured.
The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind.
At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.
Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them.
Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand.
A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days.
The sights you see will drive you mad.
The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone.
You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.
You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it.
You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off.
You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity.
Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.
The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower.
They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.
All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.
They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever.
Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity,
therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand,
a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young.
They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined.
They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you.
Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children,
and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.
The most gentle and sensitive woman among you-so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot-will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter
the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name-the Lord your God-
the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.
He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you.
The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God.
Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods-gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.
Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart.
You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.
In the morning you will say, "If only it were evening!" and in the evening, "If only it were morning!"-because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see.
The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.
「你若留意聽從耶和華你神的話,謹守遵行他的一切誡命,就是我今日所吩咐你的,他必使你超乎天下萬民之上。

耶和華要用癆病、熱病、火症、瘧疾、刀劍、旱風(或作:乾旱)、霉爛攻擊你。這都要追趕你,直到你滅亡。
你頭上的天要變為銅,腳下的地要變為鐵。
耶和華要使那降在你地上的雨變為塵沙,從天臨在你身上,直到你滅亡。
「耶和華必使你敗在仇敵面前,你從一條路去攻擊他們,必從七條路逃跑。你必在天下萬國中拋來拋去。
你的屍首必給空中的飛鳥和地上的走獸作食物,並無人鬨趕。
耶和華必用埃及人的瘡並痔瘡、牛皮癬與疥攻擊你,使你不能醫治。
耶和華必用癲狂、眼瞎、心驚攻擊你。
你必在午間摸索,好像瞎子在暗中摸索一樣。你所行的必不亨通,時常遭遇欺壓、搶奪,無人搭救。
你聘定了妻,別人必與他同房;你建造房屋,不得住在其內;你栽種葡萄園,也不得用其中的果子。
你的牛在你眼前宰了,你必不得吃他的肉;你的驢在你眼前被搶奪,不得歸還;你的羊歸了仇敵,無人搭救。
你的兒女必歸與別國的民;你的眼目終日切望,甚至失明,你手中無力拯救。
你的土產和你勞碌得來的,必被你所不認識的國民吃盡。你時常被欺負,受壓制,
甚至你因眼中所看見的,必致瘋狂。
耶和華必攻擊你,使你膝上腿上,從腳掌到頭頂,長毒瘡無法醫治。
「耶和華必將你和你所立的王領到你和你列祖素不認識的國去;在那裡你必事奉木頭石頭的神。
你在耶和華領你到的各國中,要令人驚駭、笑談、譏誚。
你帶到田間的種子雖多,收進來的卻少,因為被蝗蟲吃了。
你栽種、修理葡萄園,卻不得收葡萄,也不得喝葡萄酒,因為被蟲子吃了。
你全境有橄欖樹,卻不得其油抹身,因為樹上的橄欖不熟自落了。
你生兒養女,卻不算是你的,因為必被擄去。
你所有的樹木和你地裡的出產必被蝗蟲所吃。
在你中間寄居的,必漸漸上升,比你高而又高;你必漸漸下降,低而又低。
他必借給你,你卻不能借給他;他必作首,你必作尾。
這一切咒詛必追隨你,趕上你,直到你滅亡;因為你不聽從耶和華你神的話,不遵守他所吩咐的誡命律例。
這些咒詛必在你和你後裔的身上成為異蹟奇事,直到永遠!
「因為你富有的時候,不歡心樂意地事奉耶和華你的神,
所以你必在飢餓、乾渴、赤露、缺乏之中事奉耶和華所打發來攻擊你的仇敵。他必把鐵軛加在你的頸項上,直到將你滅絕。
「耶和華要從遠方、地極帶一國的民,如鷹飛來攻擊你。這民的言語,你不懂得。
這民的面貌兇惡,不顧恤年老的,也不恩待年少的。
他們必吃你牲畜所下的和你地土所產的,直到你滅亡。你的五穀、新酒,和油,以及牛犢、羊羔,都不給你留下,直到將你滅絕。
他們必將你困在你各城裡,直到你所倚靠、高大堅固的城牆都被攻塌。他們必將你困在耶和華你神所賜你遍地的各城裡。
你在仇敵圍困窘迫之中,必吃你本身所生的,就是耶和華你神所賜給你的兒女之肉。
你們中間,柔弱嬌嫩的人必惡眼看他弟兄和他懷中的妻,並他餘剩的兒女;
甚至在你受仇敵圍困窘迫的城中,他要吃兒女的肉,不肯分一點給他的親人,因為他一無所剩。
你們中間,柔弱嬌嫩的婦人,是因嬌嫩柔弱不肯把腳踏地的,必惡眼看他懷中的丈夫和他的兒女。
他兩腿中間出來的嬰孩與他所要生的兒女,他因缺乏一切就要在你受仇敵圍困窘迫的城中將他們暗暗的吃了。
「這書上所寫律法的一切話是叫你敬畏耶和華你神可榮可畏的名。
你若不謹守遵行,耶和華就必將奇災,就是至大至長的災,至重至久的病,加在你和你後裔的身上,
也必使你所懼怕、埃及人的病都臨到你,貼在你身上,
又必將沒有寫在這律法書上的各樣疾病、災殃降在你身上,直到你滅亡。
你們先前雖然像天上的星那樣多,卻因不聽從耶和華你神的話,所剩的人數就稀少了。
先前耶和華怎樣喜悅善待你們,使你們眾多,也要照樣喜悅毀滅你們,使你們滅亡;並且你們從所要進去得的地上必被拔除。
耶和華必使你們分散在萬民中,從地這邊到地那邊,你必在那裡事奉你和你列祖素不認識、木頭石頭的神。
在那些國中,你必不得安逸,也不得落腳之地;耶和華卻使你在那裡心中跳動,眼目失明,精神消耗。
你的性命必懸懸無定;你晝夜恐懼,自料性命難保。
你因心裡所恐懼的,眼中所看見的,早晨必說,巴不得到晚上才好;晚上必說,巴不得到早晨才好。
耶和華必使你坐船回埃及去,走我曾告訴你不得再見的路;在那裡你必賣己身與仇敵作奴婢,卻無人買。」

Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
萬民哪,你們當稱頌我們的神,使人得聽讚美他的聲音。
他使我們的性命存活,也不叫我們的腳搖動。
神啊,你曾試驗我們,熬煉我們,如熬煉銀子一樣。
你使我們進入網羅,把重擔放在我們的身上。
你使人坐車軋我們的頭;我們經過水火,你卻使我們到豐富之地。

馬太福音 25:26
- 30
"His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?
Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
" 'So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.
For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
主人回答說:『你這又惡又懶的僕人,你既知道我沒有種的地方要收割,沒有散的地方要聚斂,
就當把我的銀子放給兌換銀錢的人,到我來的時候,可以連本帶利收回。
奪過他這一千來,給那有一萬的。
因為凡有的,還要加給他,叫他有餘;沒有的,連他所有的也要奪過來。
把這無用的僕人丟在外面黑暗裡;在那裡必要哀哭切齒了。』」
腓立比書 4:11
- 12
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

利未記 26:1
- 46
" 'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.
" 'Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
" 'If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands,
I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.
Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
" 'I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country.
You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
" 'I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you.
You will still be eating last year's harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.
I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you.
I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.
" 'But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands,
and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant,
then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.
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 even when no one is pursuing you.
" 'If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.
I will break down your stubborn pride and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you like bronze.
Your strength will be spent in vain, because your soil will not yield its crops, nor will the trees of your land yield their fruit.
" 'If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve.
I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted.
" 'If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me,
I myself will be hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over.
And I will bring the sword on you to avenge the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be given into enemy hands.
When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.
" 'If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me,
then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over.
You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.
I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on the lifeless forms of your idols, and I will abhor you.
I will turn your cities into ruins and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings.
I myself will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who live there will be appalled.
I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins.
Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.
All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.
" 'As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.
They will stumble over one another as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.
You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.
Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors' sins they will waste away.
" 'But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors-their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me,
which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies-then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin,
I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
For the land will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected my laws and abhorred my decrees.
Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely, breaking my covenant with them. I am the Lord their God.
But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.' "
These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the Lord established at Mount Sinai between himself and the Israelites through Moses.
「你們不可做什麼虛無的神像,不可立雕刻的偶像或是柱像,也不可在你們的地上安什麼鏨成的石像,向他跪拜,因為我是耶和華你們的神。
你們要守我的安息日,敬我的聖所。我是耶和華。
「你們若遵行我的律例,謹守我的誡命,
我就給你們降下時雨,叫地生出土產,田野的樹木結果子。
你們打糧食要打到摘葡萄的時候,摘葡萄要摘到撒種的時候;並且要吃得飽足,在你們的地上安然居住。
我要賜平安在你們的地上;你們躺臥,無人驚嚇。我要叫惡獸從你們的地上息滅;刀劍也必不經過你們的地。
你們要追趕仇敵,他們必倒在你們刀下。
你們五個人要追趕一百人,一百人要追趕一萬人;仇敵必倒在你們刀下。
我要眷顧你們,使你們生養眾多,也要與你們堅定所立的約。
你們要吃陳糧,又因新糧挪開陳糧。
我要在你們中間立我的帳幕;我的心也不厭惡你們。
我要在你們中間行走;我要作你們的神,你們要作我的子民。
我是耶和華你們的神,曾將你們從埃及地領出來,使你們不作埃及人的奴僕;我也折斷你們所負的軛,叫你們挺身而走。」
「你們若不聽從我,不遵行我的誡命,
厭棄我的律例,厭惡我的典章,不遵行我一切的誡命,背棄我的約,
我待你們就要這樣:我必命定驚惶,叫眼目乾癟、精神消耗的癆病熱病轄制你們。你們也要白白地撒種,因為仇敵要吃你們所種的。
我要向你們變臉,你們就要敗在仇敵面前。恨惡你們的,必轄管你們;無人追趕,你們卻要逃跑。
你們因這些事若還不聽從我,我就要為你們的罪加七倍懲罰你們。
我必斷絕你們因勢力而有的驕傲,又要使覆你們的天如鐵,載你們的地如銅。
你們要白白地勞力;因為你們的地不出土產,其上的樹木也不結果子。
「你們行事若與我反對,不肯聽從我,我就要按你們的罪加七倍降災與你們。
我也要打發野地的走獸到你們中間,搶吃你們的兒女,吞滅你們的牲畜,使你們的人數減少,道路荒涼。
「你們因這些事若仍不改正歸我,行事與我反對,
我就要行事與你們反對,因你們的罪擊打你們七次。
我又要使刀劍臨到你們,報復你們背約的仇;聚集你們在各城內,降瘟疫在你們中間,也必將你們交在仇敵的手中。
我要折斷你們的杖,就是斷絕你們的糧。那時,必有十個女人在一個爐子給你們烤餅,按分量秤給你們;你們要吃,也吃不飽。
「你們因這一切的事若不聽從我,卻行事與我反對,
我就要發烈怒,行事與你們反對,又因你們的罪懲罰你們七次。
並且你們要吃兒子的肉,也要吃女兒的肉。
我又要毀壞你們的邱壇,砍下你們的日像,把你們的屍首扔在你們偶像的身上;我的心也必厭惡你們。
我要使你們的城邑變為荒涼,使你們的眾聖所成為荒場;我也不聞你們馨香的香氣。
我要使地成為荒場,住在其上的仇敵就因此詫異。
我要把你們散在列邦中;我也要拔刀追趕你們。你們的地要成為荒場;你們的城邑要變為荒涼。
「你們在仇敵之地居住的時候,你們的地荒涼,要享受眾安息;正在那時候,地要歇息,享受安息。
地多時為荒場,就要多時歇息;地這樣歇息,是你們住在其上的安息年所不能得的。
至於你們剩下的人,我要使他們在仇敵之地心驚膽怯。葉子被風吹的響聲,要追趕他們;他們要逃避,像人逃避刀劍,無人追趕,卻要跌倒。
無人追趕,他們要彼此撞跌,像在刀劍之前。你們在仇敵面前也必站立不住。
你們要在列邦中滅亡;仇敵之地要吞吃你們。
你們剩下的人必因自己的罪孽和祖宗的罪孽在仇敵之地消滅。
「他們要承認自己的罪和他們祖宗的罪,就是干犯我的那罪,並且承認自己行事與我反對,
我所以行事與他們反對,把他們帶到仇敵之地。那時,他們未受割禮的心若謙卑了,他們也服了罪孽的刑罰,
我就要記念我與雅各所立的約,與以撒所立的約,與亞伯拉罕所立的約,並要記念這地。
他們離開這地,地在荒廢無人的時候就要享受安息。並且他們要服罪孽的刑罰;因為他們厭棄了我的典章,心中厭惡了我的律例。
雖是這樣,他們在仇敵之地,我卻不厭棄他們,也不厭惡他們,將他們盡行滅絕,也不背棄我與他們所立的約,因為我是耶和華他們的神。
我卻要為他們的緣故記念我與他們先祖所立的約。他們的先祖是我在列邦人眼前、從埃及地領出來的,為要作他們的神。我是耶和華。」
這些律例、典章,和法度是耶和華與以色列人在西乃山藉著摩西立的。
申命記 28:47
- 48
Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity,
therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
「因為你富有的時候,不歡心樂意地事奉耶和華你的神,
所以你必在飢餓、乾渴、赤露、缺乏之中事奉耶和華所打發來攻擊你的仇敵。他必把鐵軛加在你的頸項上,直到將你滅絕。
申命記 28:47
Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity,
「因為你富有的時候,不歡心樂意地事奉耶和華你的神,
列王記上 17:13
- 16
Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.' "
She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family.
For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.
以利亞對他說:「不要懼怕!可以照你所說的去做吧!只要先為我做一個小餅拿來給我,然後為你和你的兒子做餅。
因為耶和華以色列的神如此說:罈內的麵必不減少,瓶裡的油必不缺短,直到耶和華使雨降在地上的日子。」
婦人就照以利亞的話去行。他和他家中的人,並以利亞,吃了許多日子。
罈內的麵果不減少,瓶裡的油也不缺短,正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。
詩篇 37:18
- 19
The blameless spend their days under the Lord's care, and their inheritance will endure forever.
In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
耶和華知道完全人的日子;他們的產業要存到永遠。
他們在急難的時候不至羞愧,在饑荒的日子必得飽足。
詩篇 103:1
- 22
Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits-
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-
with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.
Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.
Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the Lord, my soul.
(大衛的詩。)我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!凡在我裡面的,也要稱頌他的聖名!
我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!不可忘記他的一切恩惠!
他赦免你的一切罪孽,醫治你的一切疾病。
他救贖你的命脫離死亡,以仁愛和慈悲為你的冠冕。
他用美物使你所願的得以知足,以致你如鷹返老還童。
耶和華施行公義,為一切受屈的人伸冤。
他使摩西知道他的法則,叫以色列人曉得他的作為。
耶和華有憐憫,有恩典,不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。
他不長久責備,也不永遠懷怒。
他沒有按我們的罪過待我們,也沒有照我們的罪孽報應我們。
天離地何等的高,他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大!
東離西有多遠,他叫我們的過犯離我們也有多遠!
父親怎樣憐恤他的兒女,耶和華也怎樣憐恤敬畏他的人!
因為他知道我們的本體,思念我們不過是塵土。
至於世人,他的年日如草一樣。他發旺如野地的花,
經風一吹,便歸無有;他的原處也不再認識他。
但耶和華的慈愛歸於敬畏他的人,從亙古到永遠;他的公義也歸於子子孫孫,
就是那些遵守他的約、記念他的訓詞而遵行的人。
耶和華在天上立定寶座;他的權柄(原文作國)統管萬有。
聽從他命令、成全他旨意、有大能的天使,都要稱頌耶和華!
你們作他的諸軍,作他的僕役,行他所喜悅的,都要稱頌耶和華!
你們一切被他造的,在他所治理的各處,都要稱頌耶和華!我的心哪,你要稱頌耶和華!
箴言 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
你要專心仰賴耶和華,不可倚靠自己的聰明,
馬太福音 13:12
Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
凡有的,還要加給他,叫他有餘;凡沒有的,連他所有的,也要奪去。
羅馬書 2:4
Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
還是你藐視他豐富的恩慈、寬容、忍耐,不曉得他的恩慈是領你悔改呢?
彼得後書 1:11
and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
這樣,必叫你們豐豐富富的得以進入我們主救主耶穌基督永遠的國。
歷代志上 29:28
He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king.
他年紀老邁,日子滿足,享受豐富、尊榮,就死了。他兒子所羅門接續他作王。
約伯記 36:31
This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance.
他用這些審判眾民,且賜豐富的糧食。
箴言 8:18
With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
豐富尊榮在我;恆久的財並公義也在我。
傳道書 5:10
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.
貪愛銀子的,不因得銀子知足;貪愛豐富的,也不因得利益知足。這也是虛空。
以弗所書 2:4
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
然而,神既有豐富的憐憫,因他愛我們的大愛,
歌羅西書 3:16
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
當用各樣的智慧,把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡,(或作:當把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡,以各樣的智慧),用詩章、頌詞、靈歌,彼此教導,互相勸戒,心被恩感,歌頌神。
