這事以後,耶和華在異象中有話對亞伯蘭說:「亞伯蘭,你不要懼怕!我是你的盾牌,必大大地賞賜你。」 1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: 「Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, 15:1 Or ((sovereign)) your very great reward.」 15:1 Or ((shield;)) / ((your reward will be very great))
亞伯蘭說:「主耶和華啊,我既無子,你還賜我甚麼呢?並且要承受我家業的是大馬士革人以利以謝。」 2 But Abram said, 「O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit 15:2 The meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain. my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?」
耶和華又有話對他說:「這人必不成為你的後嗣;你本身所生的才成為你的後嗣。」 4 Then the word of the LORD came to him: 「This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir.」
於是領他走到外邊,說:「你向天觀看,數算眾星,能數得過來嗎?」又對他說:「你的後裔將要如此。」 5 He took him outside and said, 「Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them.」 Then he said to him, 「So shall your offspring be.」
耶和華又對他說:「我是耶和華,曾領你出了迦勒底的吾珥,為要將這地賜你為業。」 7 He also said to him, 「I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it.」
他說:「你為我取一隻三年的母牛,一隻三年的母山羊,一隻三年的公綿羊,一隻斑鳩,一隻雛鴿。」 9 So the LORD said to him, 「Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon.」
亞伯蘭就取了這些來,每樣劈開,分成兩半,一半對著一半地擺列,只有鳥沒有劈開。 10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half.
耶和華對亞伯蘭說:「你要的確知道,你的後裔必寄居別人的地,又服事那地的人;那地的人要苦待他們四百年。 13 Then the LORD said to him, 「Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
到了第四代,他們必回到此地,因為亞摩利人的罪孽還沒有滿盈。」 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.」
日落天黑,不料有冒煙的爐並燒著的火把從那些肉塊中經過。 17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.
當那日,耶和華與亞伯蘭立約,說:「我已賜給你的後裔,從埃及河直到幼發拉底大河之地, 18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, 「To your descendants I give this land, from the river 15:18 Or ((Wadi)) of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates--
August 5 "IS." (2 Cor. 12:9.) IT had pleased God to remove my youngest child under circumstances of peculiar trial and pain; and as I had just laid my little one's body in the churchyard, on return home, I felt it my duty to preach to my people on the meaning of trial. Finding that this text was in the lesson for the following Sabbath, I chose it as my Master's message to them and myself; but on trying to prepare the notes, I found that in honesty I could not say that the words were true; and therefore I knelt down and asked God to let His grace be sufficient for me. While I was thus pleading, I opened my eyes and saw a framed illuminated text, which my mother had given me only a few days before, and which I had told my servant to place upon the wall during my absence at the holiday resort where my little one was taken away from us. I did not notice the words on returning to my house; but as I looked up and wiped my eyes, the words met my gaze, "My grace is sufficient for thee." The "is" was picked out in bright green while the "My" and the "thee" were painted in another color. In one moment the message came straight to my soul, as a rebuke for offering such a prayer as, "Lord, let Thy grace be sufficient for me;" for the answer was almost as an audible voice, "How dare you ask that which is?" God cannot make it any more sufficient than He has made it; get up and believe it, and you will find it true, because the Lord says it in the simplest way: "My grace is (not shall be or may be) sufficient for thee." "My" "is" and "thee" were from that moment, I hope, indelibly fixed upon my heart; and I (thank God) have been trying to live in the reality of the message from that day forward to the present time. The lesson that came to me, and which I seek to convey to others, is, Never turn God's facts into hopes, or prayers, but simply use them as realities, and you will find them powerful as you believe them. ─Prebendary H. W. Webb Peploe. He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength when the labors increase; To added affiction He addeth His mercies, To multiplied trials His multiplied peace. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father's full giving is only begun. His love has no limit, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth and giveth and giveth again. ─Annie Johnson Flint.
