Psalm 129
New International Version
Psalm 129
A song of ascents.
1 “They have greatly oppressed(A) me from my youth,”(B)
let Israel say;(C)
2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory(D) over me.
3 Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
4 But the Lord is righteous;(E)
he has cut me free(F) from the cords of the wicked.”(G)
5 May all who hate Zion(H)
be turned back in shame.(I)
6 May they be like grass on the roof,(J)
which withers(K) before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(L)
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
“The blessing of the Lord be on you;
we bless you(M) in the name of the Lord.”

耶路撒冷失陷
39 猶大王西底家第九年十月，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領他的全軍來攻擊耶路撒冷，把城圍困起來。 2 西底家第十一年四月九日，城被攻破。 3 巴比倫王所有的將領：尼甲．沙利薛、三甲．尼波、大臣（“大臣”的本意不明確）撒西金、術士長（“術士長”的本意不明確）尼甲．沙利薛，以及巴比倫王所有其餘的將領，都進城，坐在中門。
君王被擒
4 猶大王西底家和所有的軍兵看見了他們，就逃跑，在夜間逃出城外，經過王的花園，穿過兩道城牆中間的門，直往亞拉巴的路上走去。 5 但迦勒底人的軍隊追趕他們，在耶利哥的原野上追上了西底家，把他拿住，帶到哈馬地的利比拉去見巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒；尼布甲尼撒就宣判他的罪狀。 6 巴比倫王在利比拉，當著西底家眼前殺了他的眾子；巴比倫王也殺了猶大所有的顯貴， 7 並且把西底家的眼睛弄瞎了，用銅鍊鎖住他，把他帶到巴比倫去。
臣民被擄
8 迦勒底人放火焚燒王宮和民房，又拆毀了耶路撒冷的城牆。 9 城裡剩下的人民，和那些已經向巴比倫王投降的人，以及其餘的人民，都被護衛長尼布撒拉旦擄到巴比倫去。 10 但護衛長尼布撒拉旦把民中一些一無所有的窮人留在猶大地，同時把葡萄園和田地分給他們。
巴比倫王善待耶利米
11 巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒提到耶利米，吩咐護衛長尼布撒拉旦說： 12 “你把他帶去，好好照顧他，切不可傷害他；他對你怎樣說，你就給他照辦。” 13 於是護衛長尼布撒拉旦、大臣（“大臣”的本意不明確）尼布沙斯班、術士長（“術士長”的本意不明確）尼甲．沙利薛，以及巴比倫王所有的大臣都派人去， 14 把耶利米從衛兵的院子裡提出來，交給沙番的孫子、亞希甘的兒子基大利，叫他帶耶利米回家去。這樣，耶利米就住在人民中間。
耶和華應許拯救以伯．米勒
15 耶利米還監禁在衛兵的院子裡的時候，耶和華的話臨到他，說： 16 “你去告訴古實人以伯．米勒說：‘萬軍之耶和華以色列的 神這樣說：看哪！我必在這城實現我的話，降禍不降福；到那日，這一切都必在你面前實現。 17 但到了那日，我必拯救你；你必不至交在你所懼怕的人手裡。’這是耶和華的宣告。 18 ‘因為我必定搭救你；你必不會倒在刀下，必可以撿回自己的性命，因為你信靠我。’”這是耶和華的宣告。

Jeremiah 39
New International Version
39 1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah(A) king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege(C) to it. 2 And on the ninth day of the fourth(D) month of Zedekiah’s eleventh year, the city wall(E) was broken through.(F) 3 Then all the officials(G) of the king of Babylon came and took seats in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officials of the king of Babylon. 4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled; they left the city at night by way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls,(H) and headed toward the Arabah.[a](I)
5 But the Babylonian[b] army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah(J) in the plains of Jericho. They captured(K) him and took him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah(L) in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced sentence on him. 6 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes and also killed all the nobles(M) of Judah. 7 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes(N) and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.(O)
8 The Babylonians[c] set fire(P) to the royal palace and the houses of the people and broke down the walls(Q) of Jerusalem. 9 Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard carried into exile to Babylon the people who remained in the city, along with those who had gone over to him,(R) and the rest of the people.(S) 10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people, who owned nothing; and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given these orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard: 12 “Take him and look after him; don’t harm(T) him but do for him whatever he asks.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officers(U) of the king of Babylon 14 sent and had Jeremiah taken out of the courtyard of the guard.(V) They turned him over to Gedaliah(W) son of Ahikam,(X) the son of Shaphan,(Y) to take him back to his home. So he remained among his own people.(Z)
15 While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him: 16 “Go and tell Ebed-Melek(AA) the Cushite, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words(AB) against this city—words concerning disaster,(AC) not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. 17 But I will rescue(AD) you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear. 18 I will save(AE) you; you will not fall by the sword(AF) but will escape with your life,(AG) because you trust(AH) in me, declares the Lord.’”

忍耐的人有福了
7 所以，弟兄們，你們應當忍耐，直到主來。看哪，農夫等待著地裡寶貴的出產，為它忍耐，直到獲得秋霖春雨。 8 你們也應當忍耐，堅定自己的心；因為主再來的日子近了。 9 弟兄們，不要彼此抱怨，免得你們受審判。看哪，審判的主已經站在門前了。 10 弟兄們，你們應當效法奉主的名說話的先知，以他們為受苦忍耐的榜樣。 11 看哪，那些忍耐的人，我們稱他們是有福的；你們聽過約伯的忍耐，也看見了主賜給他的結局，知道主是滿有憐憫和仁慈的。
12 我的弟兄們，最要緊的是不可起誓：不可指著天起誓，也不可指著地起誓，任何的誓都當禁絕。你們的話，是就說是，不是就說不是；免得你們落在審判之下。

Patience in Suffering
7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.(A) See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting(B) for the autumn and spring rains.(C) 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming(D) is near.(E) 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters,(F) or you will be judged. The Judge(G) is standing at the door!(H)
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets(I) who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed(J) those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance(K) and have seen what the Lord finally brought about.(L) The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.(M)
12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.(N)

祈求倚靠 神的蔭庇(A)
大衛的金詩，交給詩班長，調用“休要毀壞”，是大衛躲在山洞裡逃避掃羅時作的。
57 神啊，求你恩待我！求你恩待我！
因為我投靠你；
我要投靠在你翅膀的蔭下，
直到災害過去。
2 我要向至高的 神呼求，
就是向為我成就他旨意的 神呼求。
3 神從天上施恩拯救我，
斥責那踐踏我的人；（細拉）
神必向我發出他的慈愛和信實。
4 我躺臥在獅子中間，
就是在那些想吞滅人的世人中間；
他們的牙齒是槍和箭，
他們的舌頭是快刀。
5 神啊！願你被尊崇，過於諸天；
願你的榮耀遍及全地。
6 他們為我的腳設下了網羅，
使我低頭屈服；
他們在我面前挖了坑，
自己反掉進坑中。（細拉）
7 神啊！我的心堅定，我的心堅定；
我要歌唱，我要頌讚。
8 我的靈（“靈”或譯：“榮耀”或“肝”；與16:9，30:12，108:1同）啊！你要醒過來。
琴和瑟啊！你們都要醒過來。
我也要喚醒黎明。
9 主啊！我要在萬民中稱謝你，
在萬族中歌頌你。
10 因為你的慈愛偉大，高及諸天，
你的信實上達雲霄。
11 神啊！願你被尊崇，過於諸天；
願你的榮耀遍及全地。
祈願惡人遭報

Psalm 57[a](A)
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When he had fled from Saul into the cave.(B)
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.(C)
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings(D)
until the disaster has passed.(E)
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who vindicates me.(F)
3 He sends from heaven and saves me,(G)
rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[c](H)
God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.(I)
4 I am in the midst of lions;(J)
I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.(K)
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.(L)
6 They spread a net for my feet(M)—
I was bowed down(N) in distress.
They dug a pit(O) in my path—
but they have fallen into it themselves.(P)
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;(Q)
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!(R)
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.(S)

亞比該求大衛饒恕
23 亞比該見了大衛，就急忙從驢背下來，俯伏在大衛面前，臉伏於地，向他叩拜。 24 她又俯伏在大衛的腳前，說：“我主啊，願這罪孽歸我。求你容婢女向你講話，求你聽婢女所說的話。 25 請我主不要把這個性情兇惡的人拿八放在心上。因為他的名字怎樣，他的為人也怎樣。他名叫拿八，他也真是愚笨。我主派來的僕人，你的婢女並沒有看見。 26 我主啊，現在我指著永活的耶和華，又在你面前起誓，耶和華既然阻止了你流人的血，又阻止了你親手報仇，願你的仇敵和那些謀害我主的人，都像拿八一樣。 27 現在，請把你婢女給我主帶來的這禮物，賜給跟隨我主的僕人。 28 求你饒恕你婢女的過犯。耶和華必為我主建立一個堅固的家，因為我主為耶和華爭戰；在你一生的日子裡，在你身上也找不到甚麼過錯。 29 雖然有人起來追趕你，尋索你的命，我主的性命必得保全在耶和華你的 神生命的囊中。至於你仇敵的命，耶和華卻要甩去，像從甩石機甩出去一樣。 30 將來耶和華照著他應許的一切善待了你，立了你作以色列的領袖的時候， 31 我主就不致因為無緣無故流人的血或親自報仇而良心不安，心裡有愧了。耶和華恩待了我主以後，求你記念你的婢女。”
大衛息怒
32 大衛對亞比該說：“耶和華以色列的 神是應當稱頌的！他今天差派你來迎接我。 33 你的智慧和你的為人也是應當稱讚的，因為你今天阻止了我流人的血，又阻止了我親手報仇。 34 我指著那攔阻了我加害你的永活的耶和華以色列的 神起誓，如果你不及時來迎見我，到明天早晨，拿八所有的男丁必不留一個。” 35 大衛從亞比該手中接受了她帶來給他的東西，就對她說：“你平平安安回家去吧！你看，我已經聽了你的話，也答應了你的請求。”

1 Samuel 25:23-35
New International Version
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground.(A) 24 She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord,(B) and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say. 25 Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool(C),(D) and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent. 26 And now, my lord, as surely as the Lord your God lives and as you live, since the Lord has kept you from bloodshed(E) and from avenging(F) yourself with your own hands, may your enemies and all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal.(G) 27 And let this gift,(H) which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.
28 “Please forgive(I) your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting(J) dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles,(K) and no wrongdoing(L) will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life,(M) the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God, but the lives of your enemies he will hurl(N) away as from the pocket of a sling.(O) 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler(P) over Israel, 31 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord your God has brought my lord success, remember(Q) your servant.”(R)
32 David said to Abigail, “Praise(S) be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me. 33 May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed(T) this day and from avenging myself with my own hands. 34 Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, not one male belonging to Nabal(U) would have been left alive by daybreak.”
35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him and said, “Go home in peace. I have heard your words and granted(V) your request.”
