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(08月05日)
八月五日 「我的恩典是彀你用的。」哥林多後書十二章9節 神樂意在我受特殊試煉和痛苦的環境下將我最小的孩子取去;當我將孩子安放在墳墓裏,回到家中以後,我覺得我應該對弟兄姊妹們宣講一些試煉的意義。 我就選擇這個題目來作主日的信息;但是在我預備資料的時候,我發見我所要講的,連我自己也不能相信;我就跪下來求神給我彀用的恩典。我這樣懇求了之後,張開眼睛來看見一幅彩色的經文—─這幅經文,是前幾天我陪著孩子在遊息所的時候,我的母親送到家中來的;我雖然未曾看見過,卻曾聽見過我的僕人這樣告訴我,我也曾吩咐我的僕人將它掛在牆上。 在我回家以後,我也未曾去注意上面的字句;這時候,我仰起面來,拭乾了眼睛,幅上的字句吸引了我的注意:「我的恩典是彀你用的。」 「是」字是鮮綠色的,「我的」和「你」另是一種顏色。 這個信息立即進入了我的心內,責備我不該求神給我彀用的恩典;因為神已經很清楚地告訴了我:「我恩典是彀你用的,你怎麼還來要求?只要起來相信,你就要發見這句話是多麼真實!」神已經用最簡易的字句告訴我們:「我的恩典是(不是將要或者也許)彀你用的。」 從那時候起,「我的」,「是」,「你」,都深深地刻上了我的心版;感謝神,從那天起,直到現在,我天天活在這個信息的實現中。 這次我所得到的功課,真願意別人也得到:總當將神的事實看為事實,千萬不要將事實當作希望、懇求;甚麼時候你相信一個事實,你就會發見這個事實是有能力的。 ─巴伯魯 負擔愈重, 恩賜越多, 工作增加, 祂增加我們的力量, 慈愛的多寡, 隨著痛苦程度的深淺, 所給的平安, 也必與我們的磨難相當。 當我們的最大能耐已無法支持, 當我們在半途上力竭聲嘶, 當我們到了窮途末路, 正是神豐富施與開始之時。 無限的愛, 無盡的恩, 祂的力量超過任何界線, 祂在耶穌裏存有深厚富源, 不斷的施為, 任憑你的揀選。 ─富林德

August 5 "IS." (2 Cor. 12:9.) IT had pleased God to remove my youngest child under circumstances of peculiar trial and pain; and as I had just laid my little one's body in the churchyard, on return home, I felt it my duty to preach to my people on the meaning of trial. Finding that this text was in the lesson for the following Sabbath, I chose it as my Master's message to them and myself; but on trying to prepare the notes, I found that in honesty I could not say that the words were true; and therefore I knelt down and asked God to let His grace be sufficient for me. While I was thus pleading, I opened my eyes and saw a framed illuminated text, which my mother had given me only a few days before, and which I had told my servant to place upon the wall during my absence at the holiday resort where my little one was taken away from us. I did not notice the words on returning to my house; but as I looked up and wiped my eyes, the words met my gaze, "My grace is sufficient for thee." The "is" was picked out in bright green while the "My" and the "thee" were painted in another color. In one moment the message came straight to my soul, as a rebuke for offering such a prayer as, "Lord, let Thy grace be sufficient for me;" for the answer was almost as an audible voice, "How dare you ask that which is?" God cannot make it any more sufficient than He has made it; get up and believe it, and you will find it true, because the Lord says it in the simplest way: "My grace is (not shall be or may be) sufficient for thee." "My" "is" and "thee" were from that moment, I hope, indelibly fixed upon my heart; and I (thank God) have been trying to live in the reality of the message from that day forward to the present time. The lesson that came to me, and which I seek to convey to others, is, Never turn God's facts into hopes, or prayers, but simply use them as realities, and you will find them powerful as you believe them. ─Prebendary H. W. Webb Peploe. He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength when the labors increase; To added affiction He addeth His mercies, To multiplied trials His multiplied peace. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father's full giving is only begun. His love has no limit, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth and giveth and giveth again. ─Annie Johnson Flint.

八月五日 治死肉體 「凡屬基督耶穌的人,是已經把肉體,連肉體的邪情私慾,同釘在十字架上了。」加拉太五章24節 關於肉體,保羅教導我們說:「我肉體之中沒有良善。」(羅七18)又說:「原來體貼肉體就是與神為仇,因為不服神的律法,也是不能服。」(羅八7)當亞當失去神的靈就成了肉體,肉體就是惡,從亞當傳下污穢的本性。關於肉體,有這樣的話寫出:「我們的舊人和他同釘十字架」(羅六6),保羅又強調說:「凡屬基督耶穌的人,是已經把肉體同釘在十字架上。」 當門徒聽到耶穌呼召他們跟隨祂,便立刻遵命而行;但後來聽主所教導此一行動的含意,他們就不願立刻順服。那些人也是同樣接受釘十字架的耶穌,但不知其中的意義,藉著這一順服的行動必須做到治死肉體,釘死在可咒詛的十字架上。 唉!不知有多少人從未花什麼時間來思想此事!也許是對於基督被釘的真理,講的不夠完全;或者由治死老我的含意退縮,這使得任何都可包容,而基督的靈就無從施行了。保羅教導加拉太人:「要順著聖靈行事,不放縱肉體的邪情私慾。」凡被聖靈引導就是神的兒女,當肉體治死於憑信心活在基督耶穌裏,與祂交通之時,聖靈才能引導我們。 親愛的主!我何等不瞭解我憑信心接受您,就是一次將肉體的邪情私慾一同治死!我謙卑地求您,相信並活在為我們而死的主裏面,像保羅只誇你的十字架,將世界和老我一同治死於十字架上。

八月五日 神奇妙的選召 「先知所寫的一切事,都要成就在人子身上……他們不曉得所說的是甚麼。」路十八章31—34節 神之選召耶穌基督,似乎是要祂受大的苦難。耶穌基督選召祂的門徒,為的是看祂身受死刑;把他們領到心腸破裂的境地。耶穌基督的生命,除了從神的觀點觀看以外,無論從那方面看,是絕對的失敗。但是人看為失敗的,在神看來卻是極大的勝利,因為神的旨意,絕然不是人的旨意。 神奇妙的選召,也常來到我們的生活中。但是老是隱蓄深藏不明不白的。神的呼召像海之於嗜海的人的呼召一樣,別人是不能接受的。我們難得指定神的選召是甚麼,因為祂的選召,乃是召我們遵照祂的旨意,做祂的同伴,至於以後的事,是神的事,我們可以不問。所發生的事,不是偶然的,它們全在神的旨意中。只有神作成祂的旨意。 如果我們與神契合,知道祂是要我們合乎祂的旨意,我們就不必再去體察祂的旨意是甚麼了。我們在這種生命裡向前進行,自會單純而無雜念了,因為我們也不會說這樣的話──「神為甚麼容許這,容許那呢?」這一切事情的內幕都有神的旨意在裡面。「有神作成我們的歸結。」一個基督徒是倚靠神的智慧,不倚靠自己智慧的人。如果我們有自己的旨意,就毀損了神兒女應有的單純與優閒的特性。

八月五日 「……若有聽見我聲音就開門的,我要進到他那裡去,我與他,他與我一同坐席。」啟示錄三章20節 我們當中有些人非常飢渴和擔憂,不知道為什麼聖靈不充滿我們。這乃是因為我們得到的很多,卻不曾與他人分享所得的。如果我們把擁有的祝福送出去,並且開始計劃事奉、祝福更多的人,那麼我們很快地就會發現聖靈就在我們眼前。詩篇廿一篇3節說,神會以美福迎接我們,而且會以我們能給他人多少,作為衡量給我們多少的標準。 沒有任何音樂比風奏琴聽起來更為神聖。但是一個風奏琴不過是一組拉緊的、弦律組合好的弦,而其發出來的樂聲則決定於沒有指頭的輕風;當風吹拂過這些弦上時,美妙的音樂就飄然地浮在空中,彷彿一群天使來到人間,輕輕地撥弄風奏琴一般。 同樣道理,當我們安靜地在事奉神的道路上,我們也可以敞開心門,讓聖靈隨祂的旨意來彈奏我們的心弦。
