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03日)
七月三日 「那耕地為要撒種的,豈是常常耕地呢?」以賽亞書廿八章24節 一天初夏,我走過一塊美麗的草場。上面的青草非常柔軟、濃厚、純粹,真像一塊東方的綠色大地毯。草場的一隅栽著一棵佳美的古樹,樹上停著無數美麗的野鳥;晴爽的空中充滿了牠們悅耳的歌聲。兩頭母牛躺臥在涼爽的樹蔭下,表現出洋洋得意的樣子來。 路旁種著黃色的蒲公英,蒲公英中間,又夾著紫色的紫羅蘭。 我倚著竹籬呆望了好久,盡量飽享了一頓眼福,心中想著:「神所造的字宙中,沒有一處能比這裏更美麗更可愛了。」 第二天我又走過那條路,看啊!那幅美麗的圖畫全被拆毀了。一個農夫扶著鐵犁,站在畦間,在一天之內造成了這一個大破壞!綠色的青草沒有了,留著的祗是一片醜陋光禿的黃土;歌唱的野鳥不見了,卻換來了幾隻抓土啄蟲的老母雞。路旁的蒲公英、美麗的紫羅蘭,一概都不見了。我憂憂愁愁地自語著:「這樣美麗的東西,也有人忍心損害嗎?」 那時全能者的手打開了我的眼睛,叫我看見滿田已熟的禾稼等待人去收割。我能彀看見巨大遲笨的草人巍立在日光之下;我能彀聽見秋風掠過麥穗的響聲。那時我就覺悟到:若不經過那塊醜陋光禿的黃土,就得不到收割禾稼的光榮。 親愛的讀者,我們的神是我們心田的農夫,祂常常來耕墾我們的心田,將我們自以為最美麗的東西拔去,留給我們一個光禿禿不美麗的光景;我們應當忍著暫時的痛楚,仰望前面收穫的豐富。 ─選 我們為什麼要對主的犁頭驚詫呢?祂深深耕耘著我們的靈魂?我知道祂不是無目的的農夫,祂瞻望著豐富的收穫。 ─羅斯福特

July 3 "Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? (Isa. 28:24.) OE day in early summer I walked past a beautiful mead own. The grass was as soft and thick and fine as an immense green Oriental rug. In one corner stood a fine old tree, a sanctuary for numberless wild birds; the crisp, sweet air was full of their happy songs. Two cows lay in the shade, the very picture of content. Down by the roadside the saucy dandelion mingled his gold with the royal purple of the wild violet. I leaned against the fence for a long time, feasting my hungry eyes, and thinking in my soul that God never made a fairer spot than my lovely meadow. The next day I passed that way again, and lo! the hand of the despoiler had been there. A plowman and his great plow, now standing idle in the furrow, had in a day wrought a terrible havoc. Instead of the green grass there was turned up to view the ugly, bare, brown earth; instead of the singing birds there were only a few hens industriously scratching for worms. Gone were the dandelion and the pretty violet. I said in my grief, "How could any one spoil a thing so fair?" Then my eyes were opened by some unseen hand, and I saw a vision, a vision of a field of ripe corn ready for the harvest. I could see the giant, heavily laden stalks in the autumn sun; I could almost hear the music of the wind as it would sweep across the golden tassels. And before I was aware, the brown earth took on a splendor it had not had the day before. Oh, that we might always catch the vision of an abundant harvest, when the great Master Plowman comes, as He often does, and furrows through our very souls, uprooting and turning under that which we thought most fair, and leaving for our torturer gaze only the bare and the unbeautiful. ─Selected. Why should I start at the plough of my Lord, that maketh the deep furrows on my soul? I know He is no idle husbandman, He purposeth a crop. ─Samuel Reutherford.

七月三日 更豐盛的恩典 「罪在那裏顯多,恩典就更顯多了。就如罪作王叫人死;照樣,恩典也藉著義作王,叫人因我們的主耶穌基督得永生。」羅馬書五章20、21節 只有很少的人能領會或明白這個真理,對於罪的顯多使我們更清楚知道;但我們是否相信恩典能更顯多,而且控制罪。如果我們渴慕在基督裏豐盛的生命,我們就絕對有必要領悟這真理。現在,請看哥林多後書九章8節,請特別注意「各樣」和「凡」字眼;「神能將各樣的恩惠多地加給你們,使你們凡事常常充足,能多行各樣善事。」親愛的讀者,請你自問:「這種豐盛,各樣多多的生命,是否為我預備的?如果神果真是信實的,這是祂賜給我的!哦!神啊!請把這句話刻在我的心版上。」 我們習慣先為自己禱告,然後替別人代求,但保羅卻這樣禱告:「我們為你們不住的禱告祈求,願你們在一切屬靈的智慧悟性上,滿心知道神的旨意,叫你們行事為人對得起主,凡事蒙祂喜悅,在一切善事上結果子,漸漸的多知道神,照祂榮耀的權能,得以在各樣的力上加力,好叫你們凡事歡歡喜喜地忍耐寬容。」(西一8—10,參約壹三22)這些聖靈默示的話語已超出了我們的理解力,讓我們牢記這些應許,神會親自藉著聖靈使這些應許實現在我們的心靈之中,我們可以因此得到堅定而滿有喜樂的信心。如此的神,如此滿溢的恩典——比容易包容的罪更顯多——如此的主耶穌,賜下恩典並且以恩典引導我們——感謝神——我相信豐盛的生命是為我預備的。

七月三日 罪惡之集中 「禍哉!我滅亡了;因為我是嘴唇不潔的人。」以賽亞書六章5節 當我進到神面前,絕然不是普普泛泛感覺我是一個罪人;而是感覺得在某某事上我是一個罪人。一個人很容易說──「啊,是的,我知道我是罪人」,但是當他進到神面前的時候,他不能僅僅如此陳說就算了。他還要更進一步的覺得──「我在這事上,在那事上以及其他事上有罪」。這是進到神之前的男女的一個表記。對於罪絕無模糊的感覺,卻是將罪集中在某特殊的部份上。神先叫我們覺得在某某事上有罪,若我們在那件事上承認我們的罪,祂就能夠領我們對付內部罪性的問題。其方法就是我們在神面前有清清白白感覺。 罪之集中的經驗,在大聖者和小聖者,大罪人和小罪人的心中是一樣的真實。當某人尚在初步經驗的時候,他也許說──我不知道過錯何在,但是神的靈必要指出一定的事來。聖潔的主所給以賽亞的異象,是指出他是嘴唇不潔的人。「將炭沾我的口,說,看哪,這炭沾了你的嘴,你的罪孽便除掉,你的罪惡就赦免了。」(賽六7)罪集中在那裡,潔淨的火就適用在那裡。

七月三日 「……往下觀看」雅歌四章8節 如果我們一直處在屬靈的高處,那麼我們的困惑將變得平常而簡單。通常當一個登山者失去他的方向時,他總是能再次從山頂上找尋到當走的路。當他從山上往下看時,他不僅能看到所爬上來的蜿蜒山路,並且連回家的路也清楚地展顯在他的眼前。同理,我們也可以在屬靈的高處,藉著禱告和信心,看清前面的道路,知道我們能安抵天家。 除了超越世上的事,我們沒有特別的方法能勝過世界。如果我們從天上,也就是我們將得大賞賜的地方往下觀看,那麼所有地上的東西,對我們而言都像糞土。我們甚至會視而不見,就好像一個人看久了太陽,其他東西都看不清楚了一般。 當一個義大利的水果商發現自己是公爵王宮的繼承人,你再也不能以他微不足道的收入,或是他公司的老合夥人來引誘他,因他已經得到更大的產業了。而那些知道他們蒙召之盼望的人,也因看重他們豐富榮耀的遺產,會自然地輕看世界。只有那些靈裡貧困的人,在地上拾著揀殘雜。我們是從天上生的,而且渴望回天家;所以,讓我們今天繼續往前,隨時從上往下觀看。
