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(10月29日)
十月廿九日 「祂必坐下如煉淨銀子的。」瑪拉基書三章3節 我們的父要我們完全聖潔,像祂自己聖潔一樣。祂知道爐火的價值。我們都知道金屬越貴重,化煉越費力——它們必須經過烈火,因為烈火能叫它們鎔化;只有在鎔化的時候,纔能把攙雜在裡面的劣金分別出來;也只有在鎔化的時候,纔能把它們造成新的模型。老練的化煉者是一直坐在坩堝旁邊,從不走開的,他惟恐熱度一高就會叫金屬受損。他把最後的渣滓從面上撇去;一看見他自己的臉從其上反照出來,他就立刻把爐火熄滅。 ─皮爾生 祂坐在燃燒著七倍烈火的爐旁, 注視著祂所珍愛的金屬受鍊熬, 祂一面俯身仔細觀察著, 一面加熱煉爐使熱度更高。 祂知道這金屬經得起試煉, 需要把它鍊成最純的精金, 鑄成一頂給萬王之王戴的冠冕, 鑄嵌著無價的寶石。 因此祂把我們這些黃金放入爐火中, 雖然我們很願意祂說:「不用燒了」 祂注意我們所不留意的渣滓, 把這些渣滓鎔化消掉。 黃金愈煉愈精純, 光輝愈明亮, 但我們的淚眼亦模糊, 我們只看見烈火, 不見主的手, 還帶著焦慮所發出的詢問。 然而結果精金大放光彩, 映出我們所看不見的聖容, 祂帶著不可名狀的慈愛, 正凝神俯視著我們, 我們受此痛苦, 祂慈心會高興嗎? 當然是不! 但祂卻從目前的苦難, 看到了永恆的幸福。 因此, 祂坐在那裏等待, 帶著堅定的愛, 留神察看, 祂不會讓祂的金子, 在所需之熱度以外, 受到更多苦痛。

October 29 "He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."(Mal. 3:3) OUR Father, who seeks to perfect His saints in holiness, knows the value of the refiner's fire. It is with the most precious metals that the assayer takes the most pains, and subjects them to the hot fire, because such fires melt the metal, and only the molten mass releases it alloy or takes perfectly its new form in the mould. The old refiner never leaves his crucible, but sits down by it, lest there should be one excessive degree of heat to mar the metal. But as soon as he skims from the surface the last of the dross, and sees his own face reflected, he puts out the fire. -Arthur T. Pierson. "He sat by a fire of seven-fold heat, As He watched by the precious are, And closer He bent with a searching gaze As He heated it more and more. "He knew He had ore that could stand the test, And He wanted the finest gold To mould as a crown for the King to wear, Set with gems with a price untold. So He laid our gold in the burning fire, Tho' we fain would have said Him "Nay,' And He watched the dross that we had not seen, And it melted and passed away. "And the gold grew brighter and yet more bright, But our eyes were so dim with tears, We saw but the fire--not the Master's hand, And questioned with anxious fears. Yet our gold shone out with a richer glow, As it mirrored a Form Above, That bent O'er the fire, tho' unseen by us, With a look of ineffable love. Can we think that it pleases His living heart To cause us a moment's pain? Ah, no! but He saw through the present cross The bliss of eternal gain. So He waited there with a watchful eye, With a love that is strong and sure, And His gold did not suffer a bit more heat, Than was needed to make it pure."

十月廿九日 禱告的靈 「心靈唯一的目標,就是與神的生命有所交通,以彰顯祂的生命、工作和性情。」 「禱告的靈能轉移屬世的生命,促使我們完全渴慕屬神的生命,儘量遠離自我的靈,以接受從上頭來的靈,也就是基督的生命,愛和靈。禱告是完全倒空自己的慾望和天然的性情,以接受神的光和愛進入心中,並奉耶穌的名祈求。神永遠而不止息地要將祂的愛帶入我們心靈之中,住在其內,並將祂的聖言和聖靈一同帶入;祂會直等到我們的心門打開,除非頑梗悖逆的心,沒有能阻止聖潔的神內住在我們心內。除了神人合而為一,讓祂在我們心中運行,否則生命就無其準則了。 如尼布甲尼撒吃草(譯者註)獸性屬地的生命,我們應揚棄,因屬地的糧食只能滿足屬地驅殼的需要,及合於人類現今天然生命的情況;並離開神而墮落到屬地的生命。那是獸性的生命,只是一味渴望、追求屬世的事。」 神的孩子們!讓我們的思想藉著聖靈的感動,正確地建立在永生神之上,去尋求神的生命和祂的本性,並讓祂在我們裏面運行。我們不為追求世上的事而勞苦,不為自己的情慾而犧牲,我們若尚未開始尋求神的知識、愛、旨意和喜好,現在就來思想這個偉大的題目,以得其功效。神正等候著將福賜給我們,將祂自己啟示我們,以祂的生命充滿我們;故我們應降服,完全依靠敬拜祂,並彰顯祂的榮耀。我們應該跟隨主耶穌,以祂的生命在世度日,在父神的慈愛裏彰顯祂的榮耀。(故事內容詳見但以理書第四章。)

十月廿九日 替罪 「神使那無罪的,替我們成為罪,好叫我們……成為神的義。」哥林多後書五章21節 耶穌死的現代觀,是祂因同情而為我們的罪死。新約觀點以為祂背負我們的罪,不是因為同情,卻是因為同化。祂替我們成為罪人。我們的罪之被挪去,正因為耶穌的死,而祂的死的解釋是服從祂的父,不是同情於我們。我們見悅於神,不是因為我們服從,也不是因為我們應許拋棄萬事,卻是因為基督的死,沒有別的方法。我們說耶穌基督來,是要顯示神的父道,和神的仁愛。新約說祂來背負世人的罪。但是向著那些已經知道祂是救主的人,自然是啟示祂的父。耶穌基督從不向世人說自己是顯示天父的一位,卻是說自己是絆腳石(參約十五22—24)。約翰福音十四章19節的話,是向祂門徒說的。 因為基督替我死,所以我白白的得著赦免,這絕不是新約的教訓。新約所教訓的,是「祂替眾人死」(不是替我死)。而我藉著祂的死起同化作用,得以脫離罪惡,領受祂的義。新約所教訓的是替罪是雙重的:「神使那無罪的,替我們成為罪;好叫我們成為神的義。」我決意要基督徒形成在我裡面,基督才是我的;不然,基督就不是我的。

十月廿九日 「……你們若向父求甚麼,祂必因我的名賜給你們。」約翰福音十六章23節 有兩個手持同樣文件的人,一起走進一家銀行。第一位穿著昂貴的衣裳,全身戴滿珠寶及戒指;另一位外表則粗俗又骯髒,但是銀行的人卻禮貌地拒絕了第一個人的文件,第二個人卻領到了他的錢。 這其中的差異何在呢?因為第一個人文件上的名字是個無名小卒,第二個人文件上的名字則是銀行總裁。同樣道理,一個最有美德的道德家,可能被拒絕在恩典門外,但是一個靠耶穌聖名的人,雖然是最污穢的罪人,卻能進入恩典之門。 我們到底能以什麼得到聖潔和公義呢?乃是以耶穌為交換。因為神不接受任何其他不值得的禮物,而且神將耶穌賜給我們的用意即在此。神祇接納耶穌取代我們,也只有耶穌能滿足祂。既然已經考驗過耶穌,並且神喜悅聖子所行的,所以凡接受耶穌的人,天父必會在祂的愛子裡賜下恩典。難道我們不該立刻接受天父以耶穌為滿足的見證嗎?難道我們不該單以耶穌為滿足嗎?

隨機小語「被人甩的時候,會讓你懂得謙卑,讓你知道你也許也曾對別人做過這樣的事,知道那是什麼滋味」。對一個人好,不需要理由,也不需要回報,如果對一個人好或付出的結果,是想換來對方更多的回饋,那麼這樣的情感禁不起考驗。「每一人都該好好被甩一次」。
