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(09月01日)
九月一日 「我必以彩色安置你的石頭。」以賽亞書五四章11節 牆上的石頭說:「我們是從遙遠的高山那邊來的。火和水造作了我們好久,不過將我們造成了峭壁。人手將我們造成了一所住宅——你們的子孫在裡面生長、受苦、享樂,得到休息和庇護,學習造我們的主——也是造你們的主─所給他們的功課。但是我們得到今天的地步,是曾經經歷了許多苦難的。火藥曾炸裂了我們的心;利斧曾劈開了我們的肺;我們常常覺得這樣摧殘我們,是毫無理由的,因為我們仍在石坑裡醜陋地橫著,毫無用處。後來我們逐漸被截成了整齊的石塊。到了現在,我們已經完備了,已經在這裡盡職了。 你們卻還在石坑裡,還沒有完備,所以你們,正像我們從前一樣,還有許多事情解釋不通。但是有一件事,是我所知道的:有一天,你們將要被神手(非人手)安置在天殿裡做活石。」 寧靜的空氣中, 隱藏著聽不見的音樂; 粗糙的大理石, 裏面卻有未顯的美紋, 要使音樂和美紋具體顯現, 必須大師彈奏, 藝匠彫刻。 大師啊, 用你的巧手彈奏我們; 不要讓我們內含的音樂埋沒, 藝匠啊, 把我們劈開, 隨意修潤, 不要讓我們潛藏的美麗永遠隱伏。

September 1 "I will lay thy stones with fair colors." (Isa. 54:11.) THE stones from the wall said, "We come from the mountains far away, from the sides of the craggy hills. Fire and water have worked on us for ages, but made us only crags. Human hands have made us into a dwelling where the children of your immortal race are born. and suffer, and rejoice, and find rest and shelter, and learn the lessons set them by our Maker and yours. But we have passed through much to fit us for this. Gunpowder has rent our very heart; pickaxes have cleaved and broken us, it seemed to us often without design or meaning, as we lay misshapen stones in the quarry; but gradually we was cut into blocks, and some of us were chiseled with finer instruments to a sharper edge. But we are complete now, and are in our places, and are of service. You are in the quarry still, and not complete, and therefore to you, as once to us, much is inexplicable. But you are destined for a higher building, and one day you will be placed in it by hands not human, a living stone in a heavenly temple. "In the still air the music lies unheard; In the rough marble beauty hides unseen; To make the music and the beauty needs The master's touch, the sculptor's chisel keen. "Great Master, touch us with Thy skillful hands; Let not the music that is in us die! Great Soulptor, hew and polish us; nor let, Hidden and lost, thy from within us lie!"

九月一日 我們需要的一件事 這是威廉勞遺留給教會同工一篇「謙和、誠摯並親切」的信息,他去世前已將較重要的部份校對過,他懇求同工細讀:「不是要他們注意其他任何事,而是有件對於攫升我們離開墮落狀況,而恢復到起初被造,像神性情的樣子,也就是神的兒女所需要、必備的事務,而且可單獨奏效。」 「假如你問我那是什麼?那就是再次帶到我們裏面生命最重要的能力。」「但是每件榮耀而神聖的事怎樣彰顯在我們身上?教會或更新能為我們帶來什麼?」這些原本是死的,無濟於事,由於神的靈的運行,立刻又是活生生的了!在聖經內所寫下的目標和計劃,就是呼召我們脫離撒但、肉體和世界的權勢,再回到向神的靈信靠順服的光景;有誰不愛慕神起初生命的大能在我們裏面!在聖經內一切的仁愛和喜樂是為人所有,但在亞當裏的墮性無法使我們改變的,只有靠神來感動,將祂的生命和性情放置在我們裏面,才能使我們有神聖的愛心。「若不是聖靈感動就無人認耶穌」的真理,是不改變的真理,那除非是聖靈的引導或管理,我們也無法有基督的性情和神聖的大能。 讓我們切記並明白這小段對於我們有益的話,而最大的問題是我們有否存記在心中,我們是否確信這是我們和教會最需要的事,深信神渴望將祂的靈運行在我們裏面,而我們必須是聖潔無罪的,所以唯有將這件事放於我們宗教觀念中重要的地位,神的靈才會立刻在我們裏面運行。

九月一日 聖潔乃吾人之歸宿 「你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。」彼得前書一章16節 我們常是自問:「生命的目的是甚麼?」一個人的歸宿,不是幸福,不是健康,而是聖潔。現代人關係的方面太多,這些關係不但未把我們連繫起來,反而叫我們彼此分離;雖則這些關係是正直,良善,高尚的,將來也有成功之日,但是神要減削它們。因為最要緊的是我們是否接受使我們聖潔的神。無論如何,吾人與神正當的關係是應當保持的。 我需要聖潔的麼?我相信神能到我裡面,使我聖潔麼?如果一個講道的人,使我覺得我是一個不聖潔的人,我便厭惡他的講道。福音雖是指出我之不聖潔,喚起我嚴重的反感但它也能喚起我嚴重的欲求。神希望人類將來的歸宿就是聖潔。祂的目的是產生聖者,神不是永遠祝福人的機器;祂不是出自憐憫之情而來救人,祂來救人,是因為要他們成為聖潔的,救贖的意思是藉著耶穌基督的死,恢復我與祂完全聯合的關係,而無一絲兒痕跡。 絕不可因同情自己或別人,容忍任何不與聖潔的神一致的積習。聖潔是腳不走褻慢之路,口不道非禮之言,思不及邪惡之念。生命的細節都在神檢討之下,聖潔不但是神所賜給我的,而且是我表現神所已賜與的。

九月一日 「以後纔有屬靈的。」哥林多前書十五章46節 為了使我們在恥辱中謙卑下來,也為了讓我們看見屬血氣的身體必須在十字架上釘死,神必須經常藉著苦難、病痛來提昇我們,祂甚至允許我們體驗自我之義的破碎,以達性格上的瓦解。唯有如此,我們方能來到耶穌腳前接受祂,住在祂裡面、完全依靠祂,並且時刻從祂——我們的復活主——得著生命能力。 彼得若不因他的絆倒,就不會得救,他的老我也不會死去,而他更不可能全然地為基督而活。讓我們想想,我們是否將老我釘死,是否不再依靠自信的力量? 當生命開始之初,我們是屬血氣的,以後才成為屬靈的。在接受神的國及祂的義的那一刻,我們屬血氣的身體與屬神的靈合而為一;那之後,我們能領受祂所預備的恩賜,以及生命中的祝福,但不會單單因著享受恩賜及祝福,致使我們遠離神。

隨機小語「被人甩的時候,會讓你懂得謙卑,讓你知道你也許也曾對別人做過這樣的事,知道那是什麼滋味」。對一個人好,不需要理由,也不需要回報,如果對一個人好或付出的結果,是想換來對方更多的回饋,那麼這樣的情感禁不起考驗。「每一人都該好好被甩一次」。
