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(07月09日)
七月九日 「你在苦難的爐中,我揀選你。」以賽亞書四八章10節 感謝神,神給了我們多大的安慰!這真像火焰中忽然來了一陣細雨,又像給我們穿上了一身耐火衣,使火勢不能將我們焚傷。苦難啊,你儘管來罷!神已經揀選了我。貧窮啊、疾病啊,你們儘管來襲擊我罷!神已經揀選了我。無論甚麼患難臨到我的時候,我就知道神已經揀選了我。 信徒啊,不要懼怕;主是常與你同在的。在你一切猛烈的試煉中,祂的同在是你的慰藉和平安。祂決不會離開祂為自己所揀選的。祂曾允許過:「不要懼怕,因為我與你同在。」(創廿六24) ─司布真 苦難的烈火在我心中焚燒, 神鼓著風, 吹撥火焰, 我整個心靈, 痛苦得抖泣, 在融融的人舌中受著考驗; 在烈火的燃燒時保持信念。 祂把我燒得通紅的一心, 放在鐵砧上, 照祂的意願, 用大鐵鎚重重敲擊, 打成像祂那樣完美的圖案; 我輕說: 「照神的旨意」! 在最重的打擊下保持信念。 祂拿我燒軟的心, 再加敲煉, 每一鎚都有火星飛濺, 翻來覆去, 先要冷卻, 一會兒又燒得火光閃閃, 我輕聲說: 「照神的意思」! 在祂萬能的手中保持信念。 我決不悲歎埋怨, 那無補於苦痛的收斂, 神做完了祂的工作, 也許明天就結束考驗。 我虔誠地說: 「照神的意思」! 我自始至終保持信念。 ─施德 苦難的重負,並不是像掛在我們頸項上的墓碑,乃是像潛水採珠人那樣,必須加一些重量,才可以使我們的身體沉到更深的水底。 ─李察德

July 9 "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction." (Isa. 48:10.) DOES not the Word come like a soft shower, assuraging the fury of the the flame? Yes, is it not an asbestos armor, against which the heat has no power? Let the affliction come─God has chosen me. Poverty, thou mayest stride in at my door; but God is in the house already, and He has chosen me. Sickness, thou mayest intrude; but I have a balsam ready─God has chosen me. Whatever befall me in this vale of tears, I know that he has chosen me. Fear not, Christian; Jesus is with thee. In all thy fiery trials, His presence is both thy comfort and safety. He will never leave one whom He has chosen for His own. "Fear not, for I am with thee," is His sure word of promise to His chosen ones in "the furnace of affliction." ─C. H. Spurgeon. Pain's furnace heat within me quivers, God's breath upon the flame doth blow; And all my heart in anguish shivers And trembles at the fiery glow; And yet I whisper, "As God will!" And in the hottest fire hold still. He comes and lays my heart, all heated, On the hard anvil, minded so Into His own fair shape to beat it With His great hammer, blow on blow; And yet I whisper, "As God will!" And at His heaviest blows hold still. He takes my softened heart and beats it; The sparks fly off at every blow; He turns it o'er and o'er and heats it, And lets it cool, and makes it glow; And yet I whisper, "As God will!" And in His mighty hand hold still. Why should I murmur? for the sorrow Thus only longer-lived would be; The end may come, and will tomorrow, When god has done His work in me; So I say trusting, "As God will!" And, trusting to the end, hold still. ─Julius Sturm. The burden of suffering seems a tombstone hung about our necks, while in reality it is only the weight which is necessary to keep down the diver while he is hunting for pearls. -Richter.

七月九日 屬靈或屬肉體 「弟兄們!我從前對你們說話,不能把你們當作屬靈的,只得把你們當作屬肉體,在基督裏為嬰孩的。」哥林多後書三章1節 保羅在這裏把基督徒分成兩種,這是很重要的事實,人自然的生命都是屬肉體的;但是當基督徒一旦重生得救,接受聖靈,立刻就開始情慾和聖靈之間的爭鬥,一直到基督徒降服聖靈的引導,使聖靈的能力日漸興旺,成為屬靈的人。但情慾仍然存在,而在情慾裏一無良善,他必須把情慾釘死;然後,他就成為屬靈的人,正如經上所說:「屬靈的人看透萬事。」(林前二15) 另一種情形是基督徒不認識,或認識卻不順服聖靈,仍舊靠著情慾行事。故基督徒就顯得軟弱無力了,靈命亦不會長大,他仍是個嬰孩。他用自己的能力試著做得好一點,欲從聖靈入門,但仍靠情慾行事——一個屬肉體的人試著去成聖(加三3)。因著情慾的勝利,使他沒有力量去抵抗情慾,或者世界之靈的工作。 這是一個可恥的光景,教會大部份的成員仍然屬於肉體,他們註定服在情慾的勢力之下。行事總是憤怒、忌妒、不饒恕人,這類基督徒無法領悟屬靈的真理。若是他們的生命在基督裏,天天與祂有交通,但神對祂兒女的應許,都是他們難以瞭解的。 我們要堅定地向神禱告,啟示我們屬靈和屬肉體的意義,並且使我們完全能讓聖靈來引導。

七月九日 偉大的探察 「你們不能事奉耶和華。」約書亞記廿四章19節 你們除了倚靠神以外還有一點點倚靠別的事麼?尚有一點倚靠德行或某種環境麼?你對於神所擺在你面前的這種新問題,在某點上是倚靠你自己麼?這就是所謂探察的意思。你說──我不能過一種聖潔生活,」實在是對;但是你能決定讓耶穌基督來潔淨你。「你不能事奉耶和華神──但是你能將自己放在全能神所能改造你的地方。因為你對於神的關係正確,所以你期望祂在你裡面彰顯祂的生命麼? 「不然,我們定要服事耶和華。」(賽廿四20)這不是衝動,卻是自願的順服。你們說──但是神不會召「我」做這,「我」太不行,不能是指著「我」說的。這「是」指著你說的,你愈微弱,祂愈認為合適。自覺有所倚賴的人,是最難說:──「我定要事奉耶和華」。 我們說──「如果我真能相信!」應該說──如果我真肯相信。難怪耶穌基督這麼著重不信的罪。「耶穌因為他們不信,就在那裡不多行異能了。」(太十三58)如果我們真相信神說甚麼就是甚麼的話,那是多麼好啊!我們肯讓神照祂所應許的,在我們身上成功麼?

七月九日 「你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華……」詩篇五十五篇22節 有時當我們把重擔帶到神面前時,我們的呻吟大到彷彿神也會被這些重擔壓倒。然而實際上,再重的擔子也不會累著神。有些負擔對我們而言是重不堪言,但在祂卻一點都不重。基督耶穌用一個肩頭(不是兩個),就能把整個政權擔起來。祂既不掙扎、更不會叫苦連天。祂全能的膀臂能擔起我們所有的重擔。 在基督裡有能力使我們成為聖潔。主不僅能洗淨、醫治我們,祂甚至凡事都能行,我們必須對神有信心。您想如果今天您到一個河邊來,這條河會帶你,如同勢力龐大的尼加拉瓜大瀑布帶著一條小舟急速地跌落到懸崖邊嗎?不會,當然不會。要相信神所給我們的是滿滿的愛,和永恆的祝福。 當我的希望逐漸消失時, 我總是得到一些奇妙的信息。 即使在黑暗中,我也能聽到這信息, 彷彿是一首來自遠方的甜美詩歌: 沒有任何事能難倒耶穌, 沒有任何人能像祂那樣地工作。
