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(04月30日)
四月卅日 「這又醜陋、又乾瘦的七隻母牛,喫盡了那又美好、又肥壯的七隻母牛……這細弱的穗子,吞了那七個又肥又飽滿的穗子。」創世記四一章4、7節 埃及法老王的夢也給我們一個警告:我們一生最得意的幾年、最寶貴的經歷,最可誇的得勝,最有效的事奉,常會被後來的軟弱,失敗,跌倒,灰心,冷淡,退縮……等等吞喫去。許多成大事業的偉人,往往如此結果。想起了也覺得可怕。雖然這是一個的確的事實,但並非是必須有,而不可避免的。 戈登說,要避免這種悲劇,只有一個穩妥的方法,就是時時與神有新鮮的接觸。昨天最光榮的勝利,在今天並不發生甚麼功效,最多只能作一種得更深更豐經歷的參考罷了。 只有與神發生新鮮的接觸住在基督裡——能使我們生命中的瘦牛和細穗跑掉。 ─譯自晨更信息

April 30 "And the ill favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well favored and fat kine....and the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears."(Gen. 41:4, 7.) THERE is a warning for us in that dream, just as it stands: it is possible for the best years of our life, the best experiences, the best victories won, the best service rendered, to be swallowed up by times of failure, defeat, dishonor, uselessness in the kingdom. Some men's lives of rare promise and rare achievement have ended so. It is awful to think of, but it is true. Yet it is never necessary. S. D. Gordon has said that the only assurance of safety against this tragedy is "fresh touch with God," daily, hourly. The blessed, fruitful, victorious experiences of yesterday are not only of no value to me today, but they will actually be eaten up or reversed by today's failures, unless they serve as incentives to still better, richer experiences today. "Fresh touch with God," by abiding in Christ, alone will keep the lean kine and the ill favored grain out of my life. ─Messages for the Morning Watch.

四月卅日 勝過世界 「勝過世界的是誰呢?不是那信耶穌是神兒子的麼?」約翰壹書五章5節 基督曾強烈地說到世界要恨祂。祂的國和這世界的國是勢不兩立的。約翰明白了這個教訓之後,就總結說:「我們知道我們是屬神的,全世界都臥在那惡者手下。」「不要愛世界,和世界上的事,人若愛世界,愛父的心就不在他裏面了。」(約壹五19,二15) 約翰也教導我們,世界真正的本質和權能乃是:肉體的情慾和己的喜好;眼目的情慾和其所見所尋求世界的榮耀;以及今世的驕傲,和己的高舉。我們發現在伊甸園裏,世界的這三個標記都在夏娃裏面。「見那棵樹的果子好作食物,也悅人的眼目,且是可喜愛的,能使人有智慧。」這世界藉著身體、眼睛和智慧的驕傲,就支配了女人,也支配了我們。 凡不認識在基督裏自己向著世界已經被釘死的基督徒,這世界仍舊厲害的影響他們。這世界的能力顯明在人對吃喝的喜好,對這世界眼見榮耀的愛好與享受,以及構成今生驕傲的事上。大多數的基督徒,若不是完全不知道這世界之靈的危險,就是感覺他們完全無法勝過世界。 基督把那個偉大的應許留給了我們:「你們可以放心,我已經勝了世界。」當神的兒女住在基督裏,並且在聖靈的大能裏,想要過屬天的生活時,他可以堅定地倚賴這能力而勝過世界。「勝過世界的是誰呢?不是那信耶穌是神兒子的麼?」「我如今在肉身活著,是因信神的兒子而活;祂是愛我,為我捨命。」這就是天天並時時勝過世界,及其一切暗中詭詐試探的秘訣。但這種得勝要求我們的心和生活完全被耶穌基督的信心所佔有,這樣我們才能一直維持在勝利者的姿態中。哦,我的弟兄啊,要好好問你自己是否全心相信——信心會使你勝過世界。要在耶穌持續的同在裏,倚賴神的大能大力,這纔是你確定並長久得勝的保證。 「你信這話麼?」「主啊,是的,我信。」

四月卅日 愛之自發 「愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈……」哥林多前書十三章4—8節 愛是不可預計的,是自發的;那便是說,它是在特殊情形之下爆發起來的。在保羅愛的範疇裡,一點沒有準確固定性。我們不能說:「我現在不想壞事,我要相信一切」。愛的特性是自發的。我們不將耶穌所說的話,放在我們面前做標準,但當祂的靈在我們裡面作主的時候,我們就不知不覺的照著祂的標準生活。事後回想,對於某種特殊的情感的大公無私,就不能不引以為異,那就是真愛之自發性在那裡的憑證。無論甚麼事,照著神在我們裡面的生命去做,只在事過境遷的時候,它的本性,才為我們所識別。 愛的泉源,是在神裡,而不在我們裡。要在我們未順從的心裡察看神的愛,那自然是不能的事;因為僅僅聖靈在我們心裡,把愛展開的時候,愛才在那裡。 如果我們想向神證明,我們是怎樣的愛祂,那就是我們不愛祂的表示。我們愛祂的明證,是我們的愛絕對出於自發,出於自然。回想起來,我們說不出我們為甚麼做了某件事,而我們做了那件事情,是祂的愛的自發性,在我們裡面做的,神的生命在這自發的方式裡表顯出來。因為愛的泉源,是在聖靈裡面(參羅五5)。

四月三十日 「……愛是凡事相信……」哥林多前書十三章7節 以賽亞書有一句美麗的經文,正確地反應出神愛的深度。祂說:「……他們誠然是我的百姓,不行虛假的子民,這樣,他就作了他們的救主。」(賽六三8)神的子民雖然說了謊,但祂卻不願相信;至少祂所說的,表示祂不願意相信。只因他們是祂的子民,祂以祂的大愛相信他們。祂未見雅各的罪,也未視以色列的邪惡,雖然這些罪多得數算不完,撒但也都看見,許多人更是幸災樂禍,但神卻說祂以愛遮蓋一切過犯,用祂獨生子的寶血救贖人類的罪。 如果我們有基督的心志,我們甚至應該用神的恩惠來遮蓋尚未信主的人,惟有藉著信心才能帶領他們歸主。我們應盡一切可能,把他們當作真基督徒看待,藉著愛及代禱,終久必能看到他們信主。因為愛是凡事相信(林前十三7)。
