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14日)
五月十四日 「正當那日…遵著神的命。」創世記十七章23節 立刻的順服是惟一的順服;延宕的順服是不順服。每次神給我們一個命令,祂同時給我們一個應許;順服祂的命令是我們的事,成就祂的應許是祂的事。 不順服則已,要順服就當在「正當那日」,像亞伯拉罕一樣。可是我們常先要看神的命令是否容易,是否合乎自己的喜好,是否合乎群眾的心理…考慮再三,然後再順服。我們以為這樣比不順服總好。但是,你要知道,延宕的順服決不能叫你得到神所預備給你的完全的祝福。若要不折不扣得到祂所應許的福祉,除非立刻順服。 延宕是剝奪了自己從神那裏賜下的機會,經文說:「正當那日」,換一句話說,就是立刻去做。 ─譯自晨更信息 馬丁路得說:一個真肯順服的信徒已經把他的「為甚麼」釘死了,他的順服是毫無疑問的順服。看見了跡象才信的人不是最智慧的人,我要不問原由而服從。 我們不問原由, 也不作答案的尋求, 立刻去執行, 至死不休。 順服是信心的果子;忍耐是果子的色彩。 ─羅賽弟

May 14 "In the selfsame day, as God had said unto him."(Gen. 17:23.) INSTANT obedience is the only kind of obedience there is; delayed obedience is disobedience. Every time God calls us to any duty, He is offering to make a covenant with us; doing the duty is our part, and He will do His part in special blessing. The only way we can obey is to obey "in the selfsame day," as Abraham did. To be sure, we often postpone a duty and then later on do it as fully as we can. It is better to do this than not to do it at all. But it is then, at the best, only a crippled, disfigured, half-way sort of duty-doing; and a postponed duty never can bring the full blessing that God intended, and that it would have brought if done at the earliest possible moment. It is a pity to rob ourselves, along with robbing God and others, by procrastination. "In the selfsame day" is the Genesis way of saying, "Do it now." ─Messages for the Morning Watch. Luther says that "a true believer will crucify the question, `Why?' He will obey without questioning." I will not be one of those who, except they see sign and wonders, will in no wise believe. I will obey without questioning. "Ours not to make reply, Ours not to reason why, Ours but to do and die." Obedience is the fruit of faith; patience, the bloom on the fruit. ─Christina Rossetti.

五月十四日 專心 「你們尋求我,若專心尋求我,就必尋見。」耶利米書廿九章13節 你可以經常聽到:一個人若要尋求執行一個重大工作時,他必須專心並且盡上全力,在世俗的事務便可因此成功、勝利。天上屬靈的事,尤其是祈求聖靈,更加要這樣! 我不能太過熱切或火急地重複描述聖靈渴望完全管理你,祂若能在你心中彰顯神的榮耀,就不在乎你的一無所有;聖靈有此權利,為什麼呢?因為聖靈就是神的大能。 當你為獲得聖靈而祈求,並求神完全管理你時,是否有此體驗?你是否真正明白這一點?或者你的禱告落在錯誤的光景之中?你是願意讓神在你心中作此工作,而其他則照自己的意思行?但聖靈必須要完全佔有你的心。 也許你說,這就是你的難處,你不願意這樣熱切而火急,而且也沒有機會使真理在你心中實現。神深知這對你十分重要,祂已經賜下聖靈在你裏面運行,並供應一切你所需要的;然而一旦祂親自進入我們裏面運行,祂的命令和要求是什麼?我們必須每天熱心地向父神祈求,並接受聖靈的帶領和引導。 神的兒女!聖靈何等迫切要管理我們的一切,花點時間將你的答案告訴祂,將自己完全依靠在祂的應許上,那祂就會以大能在你心中運行。

五月十四日 逆來順受的習慣 「使耶穌的生,也顯明在我們身上。」哥林多後書四章10節 我們必得養成彰顯神的恩典在我們裡面行事的習慣。這不是脫離地獄的問題,卻是在我們必死的肉體中,蒙救而彰顯神兒子的生命的問題。我們彰顯祂的生命,或不彰顯祂的生命,是在不愉快的事上表現出來。我是彰顯神兒子的美德呢?還是我不與祂聯合而彰顯我自己的不耐煩呢?那使我逆來順受的,只有很狂熱的讓神的兒子的生命在我裡面彰顯出來。無論怎樣不愉快的事故來到,還得要說:「主啊!我極願在這件事上順服您」。神的兒子必立刻呈現在前面,將在我肉身上彰顯那榮耀耶穌的事。 爭論必不可有,你順服光的那一頃刻,神的兒子就在那特殊的事上藉著你呈現出來;但如果你要爭論,你就使神的靈耽憂。你必得使你自己適於彰顯神兒子的生命。如果你有自憐的心,你便不能保守你自己適於彰顯神的兒子的生命。我們的環境是彰顯神的兒子極完全極清潔的方法。彰顯神的兒子的一種新法,那就是使心跳動。選取不愉快的事是一件事,受神的督促而投入不愉快的事是另一件事。如果神把你安放在那裡,祂一定是你的後盾。 保守你的心靈適於彰顯神兒子的生命。不要在追懷往事中生活;讓神的話現在在你裡面活動著。

五月十四日 「神卻對他說……」路加福音十二章20節 我們還需要什麼?神還要我們瞭解什麼?聖經中的信仰是全面超自然的,而信心的來源則始終來自神,並且只從祂那裡而來。當以色列民族橫過曠野時,他們只能依靠耶和華。敵人怕他們,立刻降服他們的惟一原因,乃是因為他們聽到以色列人中神的聲音,也知道一旦神與以色列人同在,他們的力量就徒然消耗。 摩西曾對神說:「人在何事上得以知道我和你的百姓在你眼前蒙恩呢?豈不是因你與我們同去……。」(出卅三16)因為摩西知道自己有限。教會若是依靠人的智慧、財富、資源,那她就不再是基督的肢體,反倒變成一個屬世的團體。然而,我們若是敢於單單地、毫無疑心地仰望神,那麼最謙卑軟弱的人也能「在神面前有能力,可以攻破堅固的營壘。」(林後十4) 盼望聖靈能時時提醒我們,使我們瞭解「神卻對他說」的真義。
