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(05月19日)
五月十九日 「話還沒有說完……說,耶和華……是應當稱頌的,因祂不斷的以慈愛誠實待我……。」創世記廿四章15、27節 每一個正當的禱告,都是「話還沒有說完」,神就答應的。這是因為神已經給了我們祂的應許─凡奉主的名(就是與主並祂旨意合一)無論求甚麼,只要信,就必得著。 神不能扺賴祂所應許的,當我們履行了這些簡單的禱告的條件,祂不能不答應我們所求的。我們禱告的「話還沒有說完」,在天上寶座前已經成全了;雖然在地上不一定就能看見。 所以禱告之後,最好用讚美來作結束─讚美神已經聽了我們的禱告,讚美神不斷的以慈愛誠實待我們。(參但九20—27,十12) ─譯自晨更信息 當我們相信一件事的時候,我們就應該有相信的行為——我們的動作,我們的禱告,都當和我們的信心相符。我們應該算神已經給了我們所求的,這纔是信心的態度。 一個婦人結婚之後,她當進入一種的生活態度,一切行動都要以這個結婚的事實為依歸。我們既尊基督是我們的救主,我們成聖稱義的引導,診治我們疾病的醫生,拯救我們的恩主,祂就希望我們亦採取一種新的態度,一切以承認祂是我們的救主,導師,醫生,恩人的事實為依歸,並且盼望的祂確是我們所希望的一樣完全來成全我們。 ─選 「遵照神的命令禱告, 我所祈求的, 在開始的時候, 已在向我降臨了」。

May 19 "And it came to pass, before he had done speaking...and he said, Blessed be Jehovah...who hath not forsaken his lovingkindness and his truth." (Gen. 24:15, 27.) EVERY right prayer is answered before the prayer itself is finished─before we have "done speaking." This is because God has pledged His Word to us that whatsoever we ask in Christ's name (that is, in oneness with Christ and His will) and in faith, shall be done. As God's Word cannot fail, whenever we meet those simple conditions in prayer, the answer to our prayer has been granted and completed in heaven as we pray, even though its showing forth on earth may not occur until long afterward. So it is well to close every prayer with praise to God for the answer that He has already granted; He who never forsakes His loving-kindness and his truth. (See Daniel 9:20-27 and 10:12.) ─Messages for the Morning Watch. When we believe for a blessing, we must take the attitude of faith; and begin to act and pray as if we had the blessing. We must treat God as if He hand given us our request. We must lean our weight over upon Him for the thing that we have claimed, and just take it for granted that He gives it, and is going to continue to give it. This is the attitude of trust. When the wife is married, she at once falls into a new attitude, and acts in accordance with the fact; and so when we take Christ as our Savior, as our Sanctifier, as our Healer, or as our Deliverer, He expects us to fall into the attitude of recognizing Him in the capacity that we have claimed, and expect Him to be to us all that we have trusted Him for. ─Selected. "The thing I ask when God doth bid me pray, Begins in that same act to come my way."

五月十九日 賜人智慧的靈 「求榮耀的父,將那賜人智慧和啟示的靈賞給你們,使你們真知道祂,並照明你們心中的眼睛。」以弗所書一章17、18節 從神的話中,我們可看出神和人是如何奇妙的聯合在一起!文字是人類文化的精華,只要有受好教育的人,就明白字句中所含的真理,這就是人可以認識神的能力。 在屬靈方面,神將最深的思想銘刻在我們心中;屬肉體的人是無法得到或領會,唯有屬靈的人才能辨明。只有藉著聖靈,基督徒才能應用聖經中的屬靈真理。所以保羅迫切地為眾聖徒禱告,使他們藉著聖靈,眼睛得開啟,明白他所寫的,並且知道祂格外大的能力,要在信徒裏面運行。 很多時候,信仰不能落實的原因,乃是我們以智力去接受神的話為真理,並用自己的力量努力去實行。但只有聖靈可將屬靈的真理向我們啟示。一個青年學生可在神學院把神的話當作知識去接受,聖經就有點能力將主耶穌的喜樂和平安帶到他的生命之中。當我讀神的話,保羅教我們要思想並禱告:「父神啊!求您讓聖靈賜下智慧和啟示的靈!」這樣,我們每天就能把神的話看作活潑而有功效,它也會使我們體驗將神的命令變成應許。祂的命令不再是難以遵守;聖靈也會指教我們以活潑而喜樂的態度,去成全祂一切的命令。

五月十九日 脫離敗壞的轄制 「誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢?」羅馬書八章35節 神不使一個人脫離艱苦;祂說:「我與他同受艱苦」。無論實際的艱苦如何嚴重,如何抓住一個人的生命,但沒有一種能使他與神脫離關係的能力。我們「在這一切的事上,已經得勝有餘了」。保羅不是談到幻想的事,卻是談到極實在的事;他說,我們是這些事的絕對勝利者,不是靠我們的才能,也不是靠我們的勇敢,卻是靠那任何東西不能影響我們在耶穌基督裡與神發生關係的事實。無論如何,我們還是在這裡,正在我們現在那種情形之下。在他的環境中沒有甚麼事叫他看見他所不願有的基督徒,我倒替他耽憂。 「是患難麼?」患難絕不是一件高尚的事;讓它去好了──疲勞,煩擾,困乏,不能使我們與神的愛隔絕,從不要讓掛慮或患難使你與神的愛分開。 「是困苦麼?」如果樣樣事證明神的愛是謊言,也沒有公義那麼一回事,神的愛還能存在麼? 「是飢餓麼」?我們不僅在神的愛裡相信,還有勝於此者,甚至於在飢餓的時候,我們還能信麼? 一個人的環境否定神的愛的時候,這個人還能相信神是愛,這是表明神的意外的作用。不然耶穌基督是騙者,保羅是被騙者,在這樣的事上,理性是無話可講的了。只有一事能叫我們做到這地步,就是神在基督耶穌裡的愛,每每使「我脫離敗壞的轄制」。

五月十九日 「……凡結果子的,祂就修理乾淨,使枝子結果子更多。」約翰福音十五章2節 最近我經過一個園子,那個園子的園丁不久前才結束修剪的工作,所以枝葉中經刀子和鋸齒接觸的地方,正慢慢地痊癒。四月暖和的陽光,正溫柔地賜給受傷的植物新的生命和活力。 當我注視著某些樹時,心中不自覺地想:如果那園主從下個星期起,把它們都砍掉的話,那將是多麼殘忍的事啊!還好園丁的責任是使那些樹起死回生,且更茂盛。畢竟樹乃是為活下去而存在,不是為等死而生長在園子裡。 這個道理正如我們的靈魂接受訓練一樣。自我也有死去的時刻,但是我們不能總是像死了一般。相反的,我們對罪該認為自己是死的,對神該藉著耶穌基督——我們的主而活。 死亡不過是片刻瞬間的事,所以我們必須像復活的子民,越來越靠祂榮耀的生命而活。當我們的生命豐富時,我們就能阻止自我和罪的侵入,以善勝惡。而我們的存在則不再是自我掙扎的壓制,卻會像基督得勝永恆生命的泉水一樣地自然流露。

隨機小語智慧是什麼?
有一隻老虎,看見曾打敗過自己的水牛,被人吆喝著耕地,便去問牛為什麼怕農夫,牛說:「因為人有智慧」。 老虎向農夫要求看看他的智慧。農夫說他把智慧放在家裡,可以去拿,但要先把老虎捆起來,免得他走了以後老虎把牛吃掉,老虎聽了覺得有道理,老虎聽從農夫的話。 農夫回村叫了村民來,把老虎裝鐵籠裡,農夫就對老虎說:「這就是智慧」。 教會MIDI卡拉OK新增教會MIDI卡拉OK流量最多的歌信望愛大辭典:熱門條目教會MIDI卡拉OK新修改 |
