The True Fountain (Chinese/English)

ZECHARIAH 13

撒迦利亚书 第13章

1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
1 那日必给大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开一个泉源，洗除罪恶与污秽。

The book of Zechariah carries some of the most amazing prophecies about our Saviour, none more than this one.
撒迦利亚书中包含了一些关于我们救主最奇妙的预言，这节经文就是其中之一。

It reminds me of the amazing hymn, There is a fountain filled with blood (see the lyrics at the end of this devotion).
这让我想起那首奇妙的圣诗《有一泉源充满宝血》（歌词见文末）。

What a promise… that a fountain will be opened up. A fountain where all who come under are cleansed of their sin. That fountain is Jesus and his death on the cross. The death nail of sin was driven into the precious Son of God.
何等应许……要开一个泉源，凡进入其中的人都要得洁净。这泉源就是耶稣，就是祂在十字架上的死。罪的致命一击落在神的爱子身上。

God’s love and justice were shown at the cross, His love and mercy to sinners, but also His righteous anger against sin. Jesus was our sin bearer. He took the penalty that was due for us, so we can live, He had to die.
神的爱与公义都在十字架上显明——祂向罪人施爱与怜悯，同时也显出祂对罪的公义忿怒。耶稣是我们的罪担者，祂代替我们承受刑罚，好让我们得生；祂必须死。

He took our place, we deserved to be condemned, but He was. He did no wrong, but He was punished for our sin. He was the scapegoat; He was the one that took our sin and brought us back into fellowship with God.
祂代替我们，我们本该被定罪，却是祂代替我们被定。祂无辜，却因我们的罪受罚。祂是代罪羔羊，祂担当了我们的罪，使我们与神恢复交通。

Because of the cross, the fountain is opened up. Any person who dips in this precious fountain is cleansed from their sin.
因着十字架，这泉源被开启。凡进入这宝贵泉源的人，都得洁净，脱离罪恶。

Nothing but this fountain can cleanse the dirty depraved sinner, only the pure fountain of the blood of Jesus.
除了这泉源，别无他物能洁净污秽败坏的罪人，唯有耶稣宝血的清泉。

Praise God… have you been cleansed by this wonderful fountain?
赞美神……你是否已被这奇妙的泉源洗净？

I hope you can sing the wonderful hymn… the fountain is opened, come to that fountain and be cleansed:
我盼望你能唱出这首奇妙的圣诗……泉源已经开启，来就这泉源，得以洁净：

Hymn: There is a Fountain Filled with Blood

圣诗：《有一泉源充满宝血》

There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains:

有一泉源充满宝血，
从以马内利流出；
罪人浸入其中泉水，
全然洗净无辜。

Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

全然洗净无辜，
全然洗净无辜；
罪人浸入其中泉水，
全然洗净无辜。

The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away:

垂死强盗喜见此泉，
在他生命之日；
如今我也像他一样，
全罪尽被洗去。

Washed all my sins away,
Washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.

全罪尽被洗去，
全罪尽被洗去；
如今我也像他一样，
全罪尽被洗去。

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more:

亲爱羔羊，你宝血泉，
永不失去功效；
直到救赎神的教会，
得安然无罪了。

Are safe, to sin no more,
Are safe, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more.

得安然无罪了，
得安然无罪了；
直到救赎神的教会，
得安然无罪了。

E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:

自从我凭信望见此泉，
你流血伤供给；
救赎慈爱成我主题，
终身永不更改。

And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

终身永不更改，
终身永不更改；
救赎慈爱成我主题，
终身永不更改。

When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save:

当我贫弱口舌无声，
静卧坟墓之时；
我必唱出更甜新歌，
颂你大能拯救。

I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.

颂你大能拯救，
颂你大能拯救；
我必唱出更甜新歌，
颂你大能拯救。
