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(04月21日)
四月廿一日 「滿心相信,神所應許的必能作成。」羅馬書四章21節 亞伯拉罕將近百歲的時候,雖然想到自己的身體如同已死,還是不失望,因為他不看自己,只看全能的神。 他對於神的應許沒有絲毫疑惑,他直立在神的恩典之下,一點也不氣餒;他的信心非但不軟弱,並且愈過愈強,將榮耀歸給神;且「滿心相信,神所應許的必能作成。」不只能,直譯起來是「豐豐富富的能」、寬寬厚厚的能、無限量的能「作成」。 神是萬有之神,祂不受限制。所有的限制都是我們自己造成的,我們所求的、所想的、所盼望的,太小了,不彀彰顯神原有的榮耀和大能。神要我們有一個擴大的眼界,因為祂是全能的耶和華。 ─宣信 我們可以用神的應許來作梯子,爬到神的寶藏室去。每一個應許,是開恩典之門的一個鑰匙。

April 21 "And being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by, He is able to make good." (Rom. 4:21.) WE are told that Abraham could look at his own body and consider it as good as dead without being discouraged, because he was not looking at himself but at the Almighty One. He did not stagger at the promise, but stood straight up unbending beneath his mighty load of blessing; and instead of growing weak he waxed strong in the faith, grew more robust, the more difficulties became apparent, glorifying God through His very sufficiency and being "fully persuaded" (as the Greek expresses it) "that he who had promised was," not merely able, but as it literally means "abundantly able," munificently able, able with an infinite surplus of resources, infinitely able "to perform." He is the God of boundless resources. The only limit is in us. Our asking, our thinking, our praying are too small; our expectations are too limited. He is trying to lift us up to a higher conception, and lure us on to a mightier expectation and appropriation. Oh, shall we put Him in derision? There is no limit to what we may ask and expect of our glorious EI-Shaddai; and there is but one measure here given for His blessing, and that is "according to the power that worketh in us." —A. B. Simpson. "Climb to the treasure house of blessing on the ladder made of divine promises. By a promise as by a key open the door to the riches of God's grace and favor."

四月廿一日 與基督同釘 「我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活著的,不再是我,乃是基督在我裏面活著。」加拉太書二章20節 在亞當裏面,我們怎樣從生命和神的旨意中失落,而又陷入罪惡和敗壞之中;同樣的,在基督裏我們有分於一個新的屬靈的死,就是向著罪死,而進入神的旨意和生命中。這就是基督的死產生的果效;祂的死也使我們今天在祂裏面,有分於祂的死。對保羅來說,祂的死實際到一個地步,使他能說:「我已經與基督同釘十字架;現在活著的,不再是我,乃是基督在我裏面活著。」與基督同死具有如此大的能力,使他不再過他自己的生活,而讓基督在他裏面活出祂的生命。他的的確確是向著舊天性和罪死了,並且神使他復活進入那位活的,而又住在他裏面之基督的大能中。 在他裏面活著的,乃是那位釘十字架的基督,祂又使他有分於十字架;在祂自己身上所成就的一切意義。在基督裏的心思,以及祂的虛己並成為奴僕的樣式,自己卑微、存心順服,以致於死——這一切的性情都要作在他裏面,因為這位釘十字架的基督就活在他裏面。因此他所活出來的,實際上就是一個釘十字架的人所表現的。 基督在十字架上的死,乃是祂的聖潔並勝過罪的最高表現。凡接受基督的信徒,也就有分於那位釘十字架的主所得到的一切能力和祝福。當信徒學習用信心來接受這事實時,他就使自己降服下來,因為對世界而言,他已經被釘死了,因此他向著這世界的歡樂和驕傲,情慾和自娛都死了。當釘十字架的主把十字架的能力啟示在他裏面時,他就知道十字架的奧祕,開啟了那進入與基督有最豐滿交通,以及傚法祂的苦難的門。因此他也學知聖經上所說:「釘十字架的基督,總為神的能力,神的智慧。」那句話完滿的意義。他逐漸長進,且能更充分的領會敢於說這句話的福氣:「我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活著的,不在是我;乃是基督在我裏面活著。」 哦,神所賜信心的能力是何等的祝福,它使一個人在生活中;能隨時把自己降服於神,並算自己在基督耶穌裏向罪真是死的,向神是活著的。

四月廿一日 不要傷主的心 「腓力,我與你們同在這樣長久,你還不認識我嗎?」約翰福音十四章9節 我們的主必然常常希奇我們──希奇我們怎麼這樣不簡單。使我們愚笨的,是自己的意見。我們簡單一點,不但不會糊塗,反而聰明些。腓力期望一種意外而神祕的啟示,但是不在他所知道的那一位身上。神的神祕,不在將來,卻在現在;可是我們看它是在將來的大危機中。我們雖然不順服耶穌,我們的問語卻有時使祂傷心。「求主將父顯給我看。」祂直截了當的答覆:「祂在這裡,無處不在。」我們期望神向祂的兒女顯現──神卻在祂兒女裡面顯現。旁人只能看見顯現的外表,而神的兒女則不是這樣。我們要覺知神,不過我們專以我們自己的覺知為重,恐將陷於瘋狂之境了。如果我們求神賜給我們奇妙的經驗,我們就必傷主的心。我們的問題傷了耶穌的心,因為我們的問題不是大人的問題,是小孩的問題。 「你們心裡不要憂愁,」那麼我們心裡憂愁,豈不是傷耶穌的心麼?如果我相信耶穌的性格,我的生活與我的信仰能接觸攏去麼?我們准許任何事來擾撓我的心,許不健全的問題進來麼?我要與耶穌達到完全的關係,只有凡從祂來的,我都接受。神的引導從不緩緩的,卻在現在。須得認清此刻主在這裡,而此刻之解放,也在這裡。

四月廿一日 「……你們從主所受的恩膏你們要按這恩膏的教訓,住在主裡面。」約翰壹書二章27節 聖靈的恩膏乃是靈命更深的秘訣,但是使愛心有根有基(弗三17),則是靈命的實質及優點。 心中充滿屬神的愛,能使凡事變得容易。相信我們所愛的人是很簡單的事,我們越認識他們的愛,就會越容易相信他們。這種愛也是醫治的泉源,當愛像海潮一般湧入我們的身體時,我們的筋骨會瞬間充滿力量,我們的身體更會得到青春活力和生氣。 愛的秘訣很簡單,乃是以耶穌的心為心,並且在生命中一切的需要上認定祂的愛夠用。愛也是對神對人有信心的一種表現。當我們能說:「我要以耶穌的心為心,讓我們愛他們如同神愛他們一樣。」我們會覺得格外滿足。若是我們有這樣的心態,我們甚至能愛那些不值得愛的人到某一種程度。假使我們能以神愛的亮光來看人,那麼我們就能看到將來的他們,而不是現在不值得愛的樣子。
