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13日)
五月十三日 「我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告。」羅馬書八章26節 神給我們的禱告的答應,常出乎我們意外。我們求忍耐,神卻給我們患難;因為「患難生忍耐。」(羅五3) 我們求順服,神卻給我們苦難,好使我們「因所受的苦難學了順從。」(來五8) 我們求不利己,神卻給我們犧牲自己的機會,想念別人,為弟兄捨命。 我們求能力和謙卑,神卻給我們撒但的苦害。直到我們躺在塵土裡求告祂。 我們「求主加增我們的信心。」(路十七5)神卻使我們傷財、害病、失業、遭難,逼我們比前更運用信心。 我們求羔羊的生命,神卻給我們最低微的職業,使我們受逼迫,因為「祂像羊羔被牽到宰殺之地……不開口。」(賽五三7) 我們求溫柔,神卻給我們許多惹厭和激怒的東西。 我們求安靜,神卻使我們每一根神經都緊張起來了,好叫我們到祂那裡去尋求安息。 我們求愛心,神卻放我們在最不可愛的人中,讓他們刺激我們的神經,刺傷我們的赤心;因為愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈,愛是不求自己的益處,愛是不輕易發怒。愛是凡事包容、凡事相信、凡事盼望、凡事忍耐。愛是永不止息。 得勝和得安息的方法,就是直接從愛父的手中接受祂所給你的每一個環境、每一個試煉;而享受其中互相效力的益處。 ─選 我祈求力量, 卻喪失了一段時間, 就是與神之間親密的聯繫, 我所倚靠的愛, 使我失望, 傷透了心, 我所攀住的手好像鬆開, 把我拋棄, 可是當我搖幌軟弱顫抖孤獨的時候, 神立刻援手, 把我挽住, 免我顛蹶。 我祈求光明, 但太陽沒入了雲層, 懷疑的霧, 遮掩了月亮的光明, 塵世的憂慮, 蒙蔽了天上的星星, 我微弱的燭焰將告熄滅; 正當被黑暗所包圍的時候, 基督聖容的光輝, 消散一切幽冥。 我祈求和平, 也夢想恬靜, 如疼痛後的沈睡甜息安寧; 忽然狂風暴雨從天邊襲來, 敵人的攻擊, 更見可怕猙獰; 正當戰爭激烈, 狂風怒號之時, 我聽見祂的聲音, 就知美滿和平。 我卑微的禱告, 渺小的祈求, 在全智的主, 原是不值得垂聽, 可是我感謝您所賜的豐盛, 超過了我的想像與希望, 賜恩的主, 您對於每一個祈求, 必以恩典來答覆我們的翹首。 ─富林德

May 13 "We know not what we should pray for as we ought." (Rom. 8:26.) MUCH that perplexes us in our Christian experience is but the answer to our prayers. We pray for patience, and our Father sends those who tax us to the utmost; for "tribulation worketh patience." We pray for submission, and God sends sufferings; for "we learn obedience by the things we suffer." We pray for unselfishness, and God gives us opportunities to sacrifice ourselves by thinking on the things of others, and by laying down our lives for the brethren. We pray for strength and humility, and some messenger of Satan torments us until we lie in the dust crying for its removal. We pray, "Lord, increase our faith," and money takes wings; or the children are alarmingly ill; or a servant comes who is careless, extravagant, untidy or slow, or some hitherto unknown trial calls for an increase of faith along a line where we have not needed to exercise much faith before. We pray for the Lamb-life, and are given a portion of lowly service, or we are injured and must seek no redress; for "he was led as a lamb to slaughter and……Opened not his mouth." We pray for gentleness, and there comes a perfect storm of temptation to harshness and irritability. We pray for quietness, and every nerve is strung to the utmost tension, so that looking to Him we may learn that when He giveth quietness, no one can make trouble. We pray for love, and God sends peculiar suffering and puts us with apparently unlovely people, and lets them say things which rasp the nerves and lacerate the heart; for love suffereth long and is kind, love is not impolite, love is not provoked. LOVE BEARETH ALL THINGS, believeth, hopeth and endureth, love never faileth. We pray for likeness to Jesus, and the answer is, "I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction." "Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong?" "Are ye able?" The way to peace and victory is to accept every circumstance, every trial, straight from the hand of la loving Father; and to live up in the heavenly places, above the clouds, in the very presence of the Throne, and to look down from the Glory upon our environment as lovingly and divinely appointed. ─Selected. I prayed for strength, and then I lost awhile, All sense of nearness, human and divine; The love I leaned on failed and pierced my heart, The hands I clung to loosed themselves from mine; But while I swayed, weak, trembling, and alone, The everlasting arms upheld my own. I prayed for light; the sun went down in clouds, The moon was darkened by a misty doubt, The stars of heaven were dimmed by earthly fears, And all my little candle flames burned out; But while I sat in shadow, wrapped in night, The face of Christ made all the darkness bright. I prayed for peace, and dreamed of restful ease, A slumber drugged from pain, a hushed repose; Above my head the skies were black with storm, And fiercer grew the onslaught of my foes; But while the battle raged, and wild winds blew, I heard His voice and perfect peace I knew. I thank Thee, Lord, Thou wert too wise to heed, My feeble prayers, and answer as I sought, Since these rich gifts Thy bounty has bestowed, Have brought me more than all I asked or thought; Giver of good, so answer each request, With Thine own giving, better than my best. ─Annie Johnson Flint

五月十三日 聖靈裏交通 「聖靈的交通,常與你們眾人同在。」哥林多後書十三章14節(根據英譯) 從這節經文我們可以看到聖靈的特性和運行。藉著聖靈、父神和基督合一併有交通,聖靈就是神真實的生命。 我們也藉著聖靈向父神和基督敬拜,並且與祂們交通。「我們所以知道神住在我們裏面,是因為祂所賜給我們的聖靈。」(約壹三24)藉著聖靈,我們體驗了與父神和基督愛的生命的交通。 藉著聖靈,神的兒女彼此交通,這毫無自私自利;因這是在「一個聖靈裏的一個身體」,藉著聖靈彰顯了身體的合一。由於教會四分五裂,使得聖靈無法以大能在其中運行;當門徒同心合意禱告十天後,五旬節來到,他們一百廿人因此融合成為一個身體,並在彼此交通中領受聖靈。 當我們圍繞主的聖餐桌子領受餅和杯時,也證明我們與其他肢體同心合意了。總之「聖靈的交通常與你們同在。」切記,這是第一個聖靈的果子,在靈裏禱告的特性,也因此證明我們是神的孩子。 在天上,父神和基督藉著聖靈有著永恆的交通。你渴望被聖靈充滿嗎?讓我們將自己獻在神的面前,祈求與所有在基督身體的每一位合而為一,並藉著聖靈彼此相通。

五月十三日 一個好良心的習慣 「對神,對人,常存無虧的良心。」使徒行傳廿四章16節 神的命令是賦在祂兒子的生命中,祂兒子的生命在我們生命的裡面,因此,神的命令在我們裡面。祂的命令雖是在我們人的裡面,還是困難不易遵守的,但是我們一旦順服,那些命令就不難遵守了。 良心是我裡面的一種機能,與我所知道的那種最高是相連接的,告訴我知道那種最高,並且叫我行出來。或仰望神,或仰望那關於最高的事。那是心靈眼睛的事,只是良心的感覺,人各不同,如果我習於趨向神,我的良心就常將神完全的律法給我知道,並指示我所應行的是甚麼。問題就是:我肯順服麼?我要努力保守良心清明,使我步履無愧。我的生活應與神的兒子完全同情,使我的心靈,在任何環境裡有新生的樣式,得以即時察出「何為神的美意,是祂所悅納的,所認為完全的」。 神常是把我們教到微妙的地步。我的耳朵敏銳,能聽見靈的微聲,使我知道我所應作的事麼?「不要使聖靈耽憂」。祂不是帶著似雷的聲音而來;祂的聲音細微,不容易聽出來。要使良心對於祂有敏感,唯一的事,是對神有敞開內心的習慣。當有爭論的時候,停止進行它。若問「我為何不能這樣做呢?」你已經走迷了道。當良心說話的時候,就沒有爭論的可能。你准許一件事掩蔽了你與神內心的交通,那就是你的危險。無論甚麼事,放棄它,保守你內心靈眼的清明。

五月十三日 「你們要常在我裡面……」約翰福音十五章4節 基督教對某些人來說,或許只是一個宗教體系;基督徒生活則可能只不過是一種積極、誠實、嘗試性地跟隨主或是模仿基督的型態罷了。 然而,真正的基督徒生活比這些更實際,因為這表示要與主耶穌基督合而為一。祂不僅在我們裡面,更是我們一切經驗及工作的生命和源頭。 這種最高的基督徒生活方式的觀念,遠比任何一種都要簡單、尊貴。我們教導基督救贖的目的,不是要使我們能像第一個亞當那樣完美;因為如果我們像他一樣,我們也會很快地犯罪。相反的,我們教導的是與第二個亞當合而為一,讓祂帶領我們到更高的境界,一種亞當夏娃未曾體驗的情境。 這一點可說是不同基督徒生活方式之學派所贊同的。神的靈不會使我們被不同的學說所困惑。相反的,我們只能藉著仰望神、觀察耶穌基督的生活方式,以及與祂合一的特權,不斷地依靠祂的保守、能力及恩典。
