1:1 亞哈隨魯作王,從印度直到古實,統管一百二十七省。 This is what happened during the time of Xerxes, 1:1 Hebrew ((Ahasuerus,)) a variant of Xerxes' Persian name; here and throughout Esther the Xerxes who ruled over 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush: 1:1 That is, the upper Nile region
1:2 亞哈隨魯王在書珊城的宮登基; At that time King Xerxes reigned from his royal throne in the citadel of Susa, 1:3 在位第三年,為他一切首領臣僕設擺筵席,有波斯和米底亞的權貴,就是各省的貴冑與首領,在他面前。 and in the third year of his reign he gave a banquet for all his nobles and officials. The military leaders of Persia and Media, the princes, and the nobles of the provinces were present. 1:4 他把他榮耀之國的豐富和他美好威嚴的尊貴給他們看了許多日,就是一百八十日。 For a full 180 days he displayed the vast wealth of his kingdom and the splendor and glory of his majesty. 1:5 這日子滿了,又為所有住書珊城的大小人民在御園的院子裏設擺筵席七日。 When these days were over, the king gave a banquet, lasting seven days, in the enclosed garden of the king's palace, for all the people from the least to the greatest, who were in the citadel of Susa. 1:6 有白色、綠色、藍色的帳子,用細麻繩、紫色繩從銀環內繫在白玉石柱上;有金銀的榻擺在紅、白、黃、黑玉石鋪的石地上。 The garden had hangings of white and blue linen, fastened with cords of white linen and purple material to silver rings on marble pillars. There were couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and other costly stones. 1:7 用金器皿賜酒,器皿各有不同。御酒甚多,足顯王的厚意。 Wine was served in goblets of gold, each one different from the other, and the royal wine was abundant, in keeping with the king's liberality. 1:8 喝酒有例,不准勉強人,因王吩咐宮裏的一切臣宰,讓人各隨己意。 By the king's command each guest was allowed to drink in his own way, for the king instructed all the wine stewards to serve each man what he wished. 1:9 王后瓦實提在亞哈隨魯王的宮內也為婦女設擺筵席。 Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Xerxes. 1:10 第七日,亞哈隨魯王飲酒,心中快樂,就吩咐在他面前侍立的七個太監米戶幔、比斯他、哈波拿、比革他、亞拔他、西達、甲迦, On the seventh day, when King Xerxes was in high spirits from wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs who served him--Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Carcas-- 1:11 請王后瓦實提頭戴王后的冠冕到王面前,使各等臣民看她的美貌,因為她容貌甚美。 to bring before him Queen Vashti, wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and nobles, for she was lovely to look at. 1:12 王后瓦實提卻不肯遵太監所傳的王命而來,所以王甚發怒,心如火燒。 But when the attendants delivered the king's command, Queen Vashti refused to come. Then the king became furious and burned with anger. 1:13 那時,在王左右常見王面、國中坐高位的,有波斯和米底亞的七個大臣,就是甲示拿、示達、押瑪他、他施斯、米力、瑪西拿、米母干,都是達時務的明哲人。按王的常規,辦事必先詢問知例明法的人。王問他們說: Since it was customary for the king to consult experts in matters of law and justice, he spoke with the wise men who understood the times 1:14 那時,在王左右常見王面、國中坐高位的,有波斯和米底亞的七個大臣,就是甲示拿、示達、押瑪他、他施斯、米力、瑪西拿、米母干,都是達時務的明哲人。按王的常規,辦事必先詢問知例明法的人。王問他們說: and were closest to the king--Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, the seven nobles of Persia and Media who had special access to the king and were highest in the kingdom. 1:15 「王后瓦實提不遵太監所傳的王命,照例應當怎樣辦理呢?」 <<According to law, what must be done to Queen Vashti?>> he asked. <<She has not obeyed the command of King Xerxes that the eunuchs have taken to her.>> 1:16 米母干在王和眾首領面前回答說:「王后瓦實提這事,不但得罪王,並且有害於王各省的臣民; Then Memucan replied in the presence of the king and the nobles, <<Queen Vashti has done wrong, not only against the king but also against all the nobles and the peoples of all the provinces of King Xerxes. 1:17 因為王后這事必傳到眾婦人的耳中,說:『亞哈隨魯王吩咐王后瓦實提到王面前,她卻不來』,她們就藐視自己的丈夫。 For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women, and so they will despise their husbands and say, <King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she would not come.> 1:18 今日波斯和米底亞的眾夫人聽見王后這事,必向王的大臣照樣行;從此必大開藐視和忿怒之端。 This very day the Persian and Median women of the nobility who have heard about the queen's conduct will respond to all the king's nobles in the same way. There will be no end of disrespect and discord. 1:19 王若以為美,就降旨寫在波斯和米底亞人的例中,永不更改,不准瓦實提再到王面前,將她王后的位分賜給比她還好的人。 <<Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she. 1:20 所降的旨意傳遍通國(國度本來廣大),所有的婦人,無論丈夫貴賤都必尊敬他。」 Then when the king's edict is proclaimed throughout all his vast realm, all the women will respect their husbands, from the least to the greatest.>> 1:21 王和眾首領都以米母干的話為美,王就照這話去行, The king and his nobles were pleased with this advice, so the king did as Memucan proposed. 1:22 發詔書,用各省的文字、各族的方言通知各省,使為丈夫的在家中作主,各說本地的方言。 He sent dispatches to all parts of the kingdom, to each province in its own script and to each people in its own language, proclaiming in each people's tongue that every man should be ruler over his own household. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始。多次經本人修改,2025年11月由AI協助更改加入朗讀功能,2026年加入搜尋「中、英」字皆可,顯示「黃底紅字」歡迎大家使用!! 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉(05月15日)
五月十五日 「現在有雲遮蔽,人不得見穹蒼的光亮。」約伯記卅七章21節 雲彩點綴了世界的美麗,天上如果永遠蔚藍一片,缺少了變幻多端的雲彩的美景。地球也會失去常態,變成一片單調。人生也時有雲彩罩上來,有時陰暗,有時燦爛宜人,有時漆黑如夜;但任何一種雲,都有它的光明面,所謂「我把虹放在雲彩中。」(創九13) 如果我們能從另一方向去觀察,這些雲彩靜伏如波濤,高聳如阿爾卑斯山的峰巒,浴於它們所遮斷的光明中,我們將驚嘆它們的燦爛與美麗。 我們在地上抬頭所看見的是它向下的一面,誰能從整個的空間,居於雲端之上,給我們描述那照耀著雲峰,雲谷的光明呢?次之,每一滴使生命滋長的水份,亦不是由雲給我們帶來的嗎? 神的孩子啊,使你痛心的遭遇,使你流淚的難處,都是你靈程中的烏雲。你若從地上望上去,果然是又黑又暗;可是你若從與基督同坐的天上望下來,如果你因此知道了它們在天堂美景與基督滿面春風的笑貌之前,如何反映出五光十色,彩虹一般的美麗,那麼它們雖在你人生的旅程中投下陰影,你也會欣然領會,不再沮喪了。你祗要知道,在神的清風之前,雲彩永遠是在來來去去的。─選 我不知為什麼大風暴, 突然圍著我狂吼怒嘯, 但我知,神一路照顧我, 因此我能信靠。 我也許沒有辦法除掉, 遮掩未來的神秘幕罩, 不知道前面是黑暗或光明, 但是我能信靠。 我的視力不能透過浪潮, 看不見彼岸的鄉郊, 但我知我永遠屬於神, 我的信絕不動搖。

May 15 "Men see not the bright light which is in the clouds." (Job 37:21.) THE world owes much of its beauty to cloudland. The unchanging blue of the Italian sky hardly compensates for the changefulness and glory of the clouds. Earth would become a wilderness apart from their ministry. There are clouds in human life, shadowing, refreshing, and sometimes draping it in blackness of night; but there is never a cloud without its bright light. "I do set my bow in the cloud!" If we could see the clouds from the others side where they lie in billowy glory, bathed in the light they intercept, like heaped ranges of Alps, we should be amazed at their splendid magnificence. We look at their under side; but who shall describe the bright light that bathes their summits and searches their valleys and is reflected from every pinnacle of their expanse? Is not every drop drinking in health-giving qualities, which it will carry to the earth? O child of God! If you could see your sorrows and troubles from the other side; if instead of looking up at them from earth, you would look down on them from the heavenly places where you sit with Christ; if you knew how they are reflecting in prismatic beauty before the gaze of Heaven, the bright light of Christ's face, you would be content that they should cast their deep shadows over the mountain slopes of existence. Only remember that clouds are always moving and passing before God's cleansing wind. ─Selected. "I cannot know why suddenly the storm Should rage so fiercely round me in its wrath; But this I know─God watches all my path, And I can trust. "I may not draw aside the mystic veil That hides the unknown future from my sight, Nor know if for me waits the dark or light; But I can trust. "I have no power to look across the tide, To see while here the land beyond the river; But this I know─I shall be God's forever; So I can trust."

五月十五日 神的愛在我心中 「所賜給我們的聖靈,將神的愛澆灌在我們心裏。」羅馬書五章5節 聖靈是父神澆灌在我們心中的,而神的愛又是藉著聖靈澆灌在我們心中;神澆灌聖靈是何等真實,而聖靈澆灌神的愛也是何等真實。 為何我們這麼少體驗這個真理?原因很簡單:就是不信。相信聖靈能在我們心中運行,屬靈的能力將神的愛充滿,我們自然得花費一點時間。我們要下工夫從世界退卻去接受神的愛,這永遠的愛才能佔有我們的心;假如我們深信神永遠的愛,並祂屬靈的大能會佔有我們的心,那我們就會接受我們向聖靈所求,將神愛澆灌在我們的心中。神渴望祂的兒女盡心盡力地愛祂,祂看我們何等地重要。因此,祂賜下能夠測透神奧秘事的聖靈,而這些奧秘事,是以神對祂兒子永遠的愛,充滿我們心中為根基。 假如你渴慕這種光景,常在神裏面,安靜地向祂屈膝敬拜,那你就能明白無法用屬世知識理解,神在基督裏的愛。 聖靈的要求是所有的你,祂就會指教你如何每天像小孩般地與父神常在主的愛裏,如何去愛弟兄姊妹和世上的罪人;祂要在你心中安置一直流露永恆的愛,使周圍的人因此蒙福,衷心地獻上完全的感謝。因為聖靈要將神的愛澆灌在我們心中。

五月十五日 養成不失時機的習慣 「使你們知道祂的恩召有何等指望。」以弗所書一章18節 謹記你為甚麼蒙救──好叫神的兒子彰顯在我必死的身體裡面。出全力認知你蒙召作神的兒子;無論何時不可失時機。 對於你的救贖,你無能為力,但是你必得把救贖彰顯出來。也必得將神在你裡面所行的,在外面彰顯出來。你是用你的舌頭,你的腦筋行出來麼?如果你依舊是個橫逆的人,自行其是,你說神救了你,潔淨了你,那是謊言。 神是最大的工程師,祂准許困難到來,正是要看你能否應付得當──「藉著我的神,我能跳過牆去」。神從不撤銷你做祂子女的任何條件。彼得說:「有火煉的試驗臨到你們,不要以為奇怪」。事情來了,要去對付,只要神在你身上有彰顯的機會;無論何種損失,不應顧及。 唯願神在我們裡面找不著怨訴,卻在我們裡面發現靈性的膽力,準備應付祂所頒給我們的事。我們要訓練自己,好叫神兒子彰顯在我們必死的肉體裡面。神從沒有博物院,生命的唯一目的,是彰顯神的兒子,舉凡關於神的指令都得消滅。我們的主從不命令祂的父,我們也不要命令神;我們遵從祂的旨意,好叫祂藉著我們行出祂所要行的事,當我們認知這事的時候,祂將使我們成為擘的餅奠的酒養活別的人們。

五月十五日 「向著標竿直跑」腓立比書三章14節 我們經常會想我們已經得到的一切,但現在就讓我們思想尚未得著的種種。到底有那些器皿還沒裝滿,有那些方面聖靈仍未得著我們,或是有那些事使我們能更多歸榮耀給神、並與祂同工的? 在今年所餘下的時光中,我們豈能不勤奮、自省,讓神將所剩的油抹在我們頭上(利十四17—20),使我們把祂還未得著的餘地以及事奉都交託給祂。 屬靈的生命中,我們是否已得到祂豐富的恩典?是否已經歷過祂的榮耀?在靈魂體三方面,是否已經相信祂的應許?是否知道祂在我們身體方面可能行的奇事?我們是否曾試驗過祂超自然的能力,以及改變人心和諸國的能力?祂可曾打開祂的府庫,供給我們經濟上的需要?我們已開始瞭解禱告的事工,像祂要我們那樣地操練禱告嗎?願神將所餘的油抹在我們頭上。
