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 23 "He went out, not knowing whither he went."(Heb. 11:8.) IT is faith without sight. When we can see, it is not faith, but reasoning. In crossing the Atlantic we observed this very principle of faith. We saw no path upon the sea, nor sign of the shore. And yet day by day we were marking our path upon the chart as exactly as if there had followed us a great chalk line upon the sea. And when we came within twenty miles of land, we knew where we were as exactly as if we had seen it all three thousand miles ahead. How had we measured and marked our course? Day by day our captain had take his instruments and, looking up to the sky, had fixed his course by the sun. He was sailing by the heavenly, not the earthly lights. So faith looks up and sails on, by God's great Sun, not seeing one shore line or earthly lighthouse or path upon the way. Often its steps seem to lead into utter uncertainty, and even darkness and disaster; but He opens the way, and often makes such midnight hours the very gates of day. Let us go forth this day, not knowing, but trusting. ─Days of Heaven upon Earth. "Too many of us want to see our way through before starting new enterprises. If we could and did, from whence would come the development of our Christian graces? Faith, hope and love cannot be plucked from trees, like ripe apples. After the words `In the beginning' comes the word `God.' The first step turns the key into God's power-house, and it is not only true that God helps those who help themselves, but He also helps those who cannot help themselves. You can depend upon Him every time." "Waiting on God brings us to our journey's end quicker than our feet." The opportunity is often lost by deliberation.
