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(10月08日)
十月八日 「應當一無罣慮。」腓立比書四章6節 許多基督人不斷地過著焦急罣慮的生活,有的竟煩惱得可憐。怎樣能在日常忙亂的生活中得到完全的安息是一個值得知道的祕訣。讓我們先看:罣慮究竟有甚麼用處?罣慮從來沒有使誰強壯過;從來沒有使誰遵行神旨過;也從來沒有使誰逃出困難過。罣慮只會損害有用的生命、美麗的生命。焦急、罣慮、擔憂,都是我們的主所絕對禁止的,我們的主說:「不要……憂慮,喫甚麼……穿甚麼。」(太六 25)主的意思並不是說:我們用不著預先思想,我們的生活可以毫無計劃、毫無規律;祂乃是說:我們用不著為這些事罣慮。你以為你這樣罣慮、擔憂,別人不會知道麼?我告訴你:從你臉上的愁紋,從你說話的聲調,從你生活中最微小的動作,從你缺乏喜樂的精神看來,別人早已知道了。我們應當把我們的罣慮卸給神!因為祂說:「凡勞苦擔重擔的人可以到我這裡來,我就使你們得安息。」(太十一28) ─沙勤德 煩惱、罣慮、猜疑、不信,都是基督人最大的弱點。我們究竟能不能從它們得到甚麼呢?它們不是常使我們失去活動的機會麼?它們不是常使我們失卻智慧的果斷麼?許多時候我們原可以依靠信心漂浮的,卻因為自己掙扎的緣故反沉下去了。 哦,我們多麼需要安靜的能力!哦,我們當安靜,當知道耶和華是神!以色列的聖者不能不保護、拯救祂自己的子民。祂的每一句話都是有效力的;高山可以挪開,天地可以廢去,祂的話卻不能廢去。祂值得我們信任,也應得我們信任。我的魂哪,歸來罷,歸來安息罷,歸來倒在主的懷裡罷! ─選

October 8 "Do not begin to be anxious." (Phil. 4:6, P.B.V) NOT a few Christians live in a state of unbroken anxiety, and others fret and fume terribly. To be perfectly at peace amid the hurly-burly of daily life is a secret worth knowing. What is the use of worrying? It never made anybody strong; never helped anybody to do God's will; never made a way of escape for anyone out of perplexity. Worry spoils lives which would otherwise be useful and beautiful. Restlessness, anxiety, and care are absolutely forbidden by our lord, who said: "Take no thought," that is, no anxious thourght, "saying what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewithal shall we be clothed?" He does not mean that we are not to take forethought and that our life is to be without plan or method; but that we are not to worry about these things. People know you live in the realm of anxious care by the lines on your face, the tones of your voice, the minor key in your life, and the lack of joy in your spirit. Scale the heights of a life abandoned to God, then you will look down on the clouds beneath your feet. -Rev. Darlow Sargeant. It is always weakness to be fretting and worrying, questioning and mistrusting. Can we gain anything by it? Do we not unfit ourselves for action, and unhinge our minds for wise decision? We are sinking by our struggles when we might float by faith. Oh, for grace to be quiet! Oh, to be still and know that Jehovah is God! The Holy One of Israel must defend and deliver His own. We may be sure that every word of His will stand, though the mountains should depart. He deserves to be confided in. Come, my soul, return unto thy rest, and lean thy head upon the bosom of the Lord Jesus. -Selected.

十月八日 基督親自啟示 「有了我的命令又遵守的,這人就是愛我的;愛我的必蒙我父愛他,我也要愛他,並且要向他顯現。」約翰福音十四章21節 基督曾應許祂的門徒,聖靈要向他們啟示祂的同在;而聖靈降臨時,祂藉著聖靈親自向他們顯現,他們就會對祂有更新、神聖而屬靈的認識,即使是祂仍在地上,祂仍要與他們有永不止息而親密的關係。 祂和他關係的情況只用一個字即可表示——愛。「遵守我命令的就是愛我的,愛我的必蒙我父愛他,我也愛他。」這是神與人相會的愛,基督已經愛他,並且取得其心的歡欣,使他以完全順服來顯示其愛。父神看清這點,祂的愛要停留在那人的心靈上;基督衷心發出特別的愛,藉著基督親自更新而有福的啟示,將屬天的愛澆灌在我們心裏。 但這並非全貌,「顯現的條件是什麼?」回答是:「人若愛我,就當遵守我的命令。」接著說:「我父愛他,我們要到他那裏,內住他裏面。」因著這篇文章將天描寫得淋漓盡致,我們又遵行少,如要天國降臨人間,必須要讓神在人間掌權就如天國在天堂,神也在那裏掌權一樣。「這是天國的真理降到人間,人天生就有選擇:活於亞當所傳下來天然的靈,有屬世的智慧或行都聽命於在我們面運行神的靈。」

十月八日 獨佔基督 「可以到我這裡來。」馬太福音十一章28節 我們聽到必要到耶穌基督那裡來的話,豈不是一種屈辱呢!想想,我們不到耶穌基督那裡來的這回事。如果你要知道你真實的程度,最好是用這話──「可以到我這裡來,」來測驗自己。你的情意只要有一點不真實,你必辯白而不肯來,閃避而不肯來,也許寧願經過痛苦而不肯來;寧願去做無論甚麼事而不肯來,也自然不會說出這種謙虛的話──「我主耶穌,我來。」你只要有一點靈性的傲慢,你就要盼望神命你做大事,而祂所命你所做的就是「來」。 「可以到我這裡來,」當你聽聞那句話的時候,你必知道,在你未來以前,必有甚麼事要做,聖靈也必指示你要做的事,就是把你的斧子放在那些阻止你通過到祂那裡去的事的根上。你若不願意聖靈的指示,絕不能前進一步的。聖靈能找出你裡面不能通過的事在那裡,但是祂不移動它,除非你願意祂這樣做。 你曾有幾次到神面前祈求,而回去時也有這種感覺──「啊,這次我已祈求了」!在你祈求的時候,神已經站著伸出手來,不但要抱你,而且希望你抱祂,然而你還是空空地走開了。想想耶穌不可克服而無倦容的忍耐──「可以到我這裡來。」

十月八日 「耶和華應許賜福給以色列家的話,一句也沒有落空,都應驗了。」約書亞記廿一章45節 終有一天,即使是向來膽怯、口齒不清的人,都可能站在約書亞所經歷過的屬靈高處上。當我們回頭看自己的經歷,那些驚險萬分的事,以及所有祂帶領我們渡過的危險,並在我們跌倒時扶起我們,又拯救我們脫離罪惡,我們將會「大聲喊著說,願救恩歸與坐在寶座上我們的神,也歸與羔羊!」(啟七10)而且那時,我們對此經文將更瞭解其中涵意。 當我們與主同坐在那榮耀的家中時,我們會有無限的時間來瞭解發生在我們生命中的故事。然後,神會與我們一起讀我們畫得紅紅綠綠的舊聖經,祂不僅會指出祂如何守住一切應許,並且還會解釋那些我們現在不明白的奧秘,告訴我們所有成就了的事情。那時我們會大叫:「神聖的基督,您既信實又良善;除您以外,沒有人能有您這樣的大愛。」而天上的大合唱團則會不斷地高唱:「耶和華應許賜福給以色列家的話,一句也沒有落空,都應驗了。」

隨機小語「人生可以回憶、尋根莫忘本。人生應該向前、回不去過往。人生要有信念、知所信是誰。走不回的過往、只能成回憶。換不回的選擇、只是已枉然。找不回的青春、只珍惜當下。是非得失難算計、上帝計劃巧安排。」。
