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13日)
九月十三日 「明日早晨,你要……在山頂上站在我面前。」出埃及記卅四章2節 早晨是我所規定的朝見主的時間,因為早晨是我氣力最大、希望最大的時間;早晨我用不著爬山過嶺。在夜間我已將一天的疲乏全行埋葬了,在早晨我已得著了新的精力。早晨已經被主潔淨的,這一天一定是快樂的!第一個勝利已經在禱告中獲得的,這一天一定是成功的!黎明在山頂上的,這一天一定是聖潔的! 我的父啊,我現在到你這裡來了。平原上沒有甚麼東西能彀抓住我,叫我不上聖潔的高原來。我現在依照你的命令上來朝見你。 早晨在山頂上,會叫我全天強健喜樂。 ─派克約瑟 當朝霞初升, 晨鳥啼唱, 其時黑暗已逝, 你仍在我心上, 只要你在一起, 這甜蜜的感覺 比朝霞更美, 比日光更亮。 與你獨處, 在神秘的晨曦迷茫中, 朝露未乾, 空氣寧靜清新, 自然界一覺醒來, 睡眼惺忪, 與你獨處, 我凝神屏息, 無限敬崇。 天光破曉, 晨星的影子, 安息在靜靜的水面, 波平如鏡, 在這肅穆安寧的一刻, 我心中 只現出你聖容的反映。 當靈魂倦了, 渴欲睡眠, 睜開疲倦的眼睛, 仰望著你祈求; 在你翼翅掩護之下安息, 何等幸福, 醒來發現你同在, 更覺無窮美妙。 ─史篤威 我的母親有一個習慣:每天早晨,必須在她自己房裡退修一小時─讀經、默想、禱告。從那一小時裡面——好像從一個清潔的泉源裡面一樣——她吸取力量和安慰來擔任她一天的職務,保守她不被鄰里間的瑣事紛擾。我一想到她的生活,和她生活上一切的負擔,我就立刻看見基督在她身上的得勝。我從來沒有看見她發過一次脾氣;我從來沒有聽見她說過一句過火的話,一句纔言,或者一句閒言;我從來沒有感到她有過一些不適當的出於情感的態度;她的秘訣,在甚麼地方呢?乃在她每天早晨飲了生命水的河裡的活水,喫了曠野中的嗎哪。 ─法勒爾 一天的早晨,宛如鮮花怒放,把它獻給神。不要讓祂因你葉子憔悴而離開你。

September 13 "Come up inf the morning....and present thyself unto me in the top of the mount." (Exod. 34:2.) THE morning is the time fixed for my meeting the Lord. The very word morning is as a cluster of rich grapes. Let us crush them, and drink the sacred wine. In the morning! Then God means me to be at my best in strength and hope. I have not to climb in my weakness. In the night I have buried yesterday's fatigue, and in the morning take a new lease of energy. Blessed is the day whose morning is sanctified! Successful is the day whose first victory was won in prayer! Holy is the day whose dawn finds thee on the top of the mount! My Father, I am coming. Nothing on the mean plan shall keep me away from the holy heights. At Thy bidding I come, so Thou wilt meet me. Morning on the mount! It will make me strong and glad all the rest of the day so well begun. ─Joseph Parker. Still still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. AS in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean, The image of the morning-star doth rest, So in this stillness, Thou beholdest only, Thine image in the waters of my breast. When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose, beneath Thy wings o'er shadowing, But sweeter still to wake and find Thee there. ─Harriest Beecher Stowe. My mother's habit was every day, immediately after breakfast, to withdraw for an hour to her own room, and to spend that hour in reading the Bible, in meditation and prayer. From that hour, as from a pure fountain, she drew the strength and sweetness which enabled her to fulfill all her duties, and to remain unruffled by the worries and pettinesses which are so often the trial of narrow neighborhoods. As I think of her life, and all it had to bear, I see the absolute triumph of Christian grace in the lovely ideal of a Christian lady. I never saw her temper disturbed; I never heard her speak one word of anger, of calumny, or of idle gossip; I never obserbed in her any sign of a single sentiment unbecoming to a soul which had drunk of the river of the water of life, and which had fed upon manna in the barren wilderness. ─Farrar. Give God the blossom of the day. Do not put Him off with faded leaves.

九月十三日 彼得:極大的愛 「彼得因為耶穌第三次對他說『你愛我麼』,就憂愁,對耶穌說:『主啊!你是無所不知的,你知道我愛你。』耶穌說:『你餵養我的羊。』約翰福音廿一章17節 由於馬利亞有極大的愛,所以耶穌首先親自向她顯現,然後向彼得顯現;在兩個往以馬杵斯的門徒回去時又向十位門徒顯現,再向多馬顯現。為了準備獻身者的心靈,現在向彼得顯現,為的是要再次提醒愛的堅定。 我們能輕易瞭解為什麼基督要三次問:「你愛我嗎?」是要提醒彼得過於自信的危險。他曾說:「就是死我也不否認您。」但需要冷靜深思、捫心自問,他的愛到底有幾分真實可靠性,他需要深深的悔改,坦白承認自己只有何等少的愛,故必須要由耶穌那兒支取,才有餵養羊群和小羊足夠的愛。 神就是愛,基督是祂所愛的兒子。主自己對門徒的愛最高表現的話是:「我怎樣愛我,我也照樣愛你們。」祂也要求他以遵行祂的命令,並愛那些蒙祂愛的人來證明他們對祂的愛,在天上、地下,在父神、聖子,在我們所我們及作的工,並所照顧的靈魂裏面,最大的就是愛。 對每一位渴慕耶穌親自顯現的人——「我永遠與你同在」——主需要基本的要求就是愛。彼得教導我們,這種愛的力量並非來自人間,而來自為罪而死,並再復活而在耶穌的生命裏。彼得在所寫的信書中分享這個真理:「你們雖沒有見過祂卻是愛祂,如今雖不得看見,卻因信祂就有說不出來,滿有榮光的大喜樂。」感謝神,祂能改變彼得的自負,相信也能因基督內在的運行而改變我們,並且以「永遠與你們同在」之慈愛而寶貴的話語來向我們顯現;也只有對主的羊群和小羊獻出愛心的人,才會蒙主的顯現。

九月十三日 順服以後,怎樣呢? 「您所託付我的事,我已成全了。」約翰福音十七章4節 順服,不在外表生活上表現,卻是內心意志的努力。如果這一件做到了,則百事都做到了。生命的轉變並不多,意志的順服,就是最大的轉變。神從不強迫人的意志順服,祂也不要求人類順服,卻是等待人們的自願,因為凡自願的,必不再有第二次的反叛。 因拯救而順服——「可以到我這裡來,我就使你們得安息。」(太十一28)在我們開始經驗救恩的意義以後,我們就要將我們的意志順服耶穌,在祂的裡面得到安息。凡觸動我們心情的事,便是意志上的一種呼喚──「可以到我這裡來。」凡應呼召而來的,必是自動的來。 因虔敬而順服——「若有人要跟從我,就當捨己。」(太十六24)這裡所謂的順服,便是把我的自己順服耶穌。我的自己順服了祂,則我能同祂安息在這順服的心上。「如果你要做我的門徒,就將你自己的所有權交給我。」那麼,餘下的生命不是別,只是這種順服的表現。如果一旦順服了,我們就無須設想甚麼,也不必問我們的環境怎樣,耶穌就是無限的豐富。 因與祂的死聯合而順服——「……別人要把你束上。」(約廿一18─19)你曾學知必死的意義麼?不要把你的順服視為一種出神的事,若以之為一種出神的事,你便容易把它消逝了。順服實在是與祂同死,藉著死與祂聯合的事。我們既與祂聯合為一,則使你動心的事,沒有不使祂動心的。 順服以後──怎樣呢?順服以後的生命,是全部與神契合為一。

九月十三日 「……有火煉的試驗臨到你們,不要以為奇怪。」彼得前書四章12節 大多數的人在踏出信心的第一步之後,通常會嚮往蔚藍的天空及風平浪靜的日子。所以當他們遇到風暴時,不僅充滿了驚訝,而且滿心的困惑。然而,證實神同在最佳的證據,就是面對撒但的挑戰。往往我們所受的挑戰越多,我們的祝福就越真實。因此我們最好先做最壞的打算,若是真的發生了,我們也不會太驚訝。但如果我們的道路平坦、毫無挫折,那麼面對試驗時我們應更快樂,因為這樣的祝福來得更為出乎預料。 現在,讓我們來瞭解到底受試驗是什麼意思。假如你已經踏出信心的腳步,認為自己的老我和罪都死了;當你發現自己似乎被由內心生出來的邪惡思想及感覺所攻擊時,你或許會覺得非常意外,甚至禁不住地問:「為什麼?」親愛的,遇到這樣的時刻,請記住:試探本身不是罪,而是那惡者的戰術。
