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.

三月廿一日 「照著你們的信給你們成全了罷。」馬太福音九章29節 「禱告透切」的意思就是禱告到完全的信心裏去;禱告到還在禱告的時候就已經有了一種把握:覺得我們的禱告已蒙垂聽,已蒙悅納了;禱告到事情還沒有實現之先,已經得著了所求的。 讓我們記得世上任何環境都不能攔阻神的話應驗,所以讓我們堅信祂的話沒有改變的可能,雖然世界一直在改變。神要我們單信衪的話,不用別的證實或憑據,然後祂要照著我們信給我們成全。 事情終會實現, 祂有過應許在先; 祂說, 「不撇下你」(來十三5) 神永遠信守諾言。(林後一20) 古代信徒的禱告,像放在銀行櫃檯上的支票一樣,立刻可以兌取現金。 ─安德生 「神說……事就這樣成了。」(創一9)

March 21 "According to your faith be it unto you."(Matt. 9:29.) PRAYING through" might be defined as praying one's way into full faith, emerging while yet praying into the assurance that one has been accepted and heard, so that one becomes actually aware of receiving, by firmest anticipation and in advance of the event, the thing for which he asks. Let us remember that no earthly circumstances can hinder the fulfillment of His Word if we look steadfastly at the immutability of that Word and not at the uncertainty of this ever-changing world. God would have us believe His Word without other confirmation, and then he is ready to give us "according to our faith." "When once his Word is past, When He hath said, `I will,' (Heb. 13:5) The thing shall come at last; God keeps His promise still." (2 Cor. 1:20) The prayer of the Pentecostal age was like a cheque to be paid in coin over the counter. ─Sir R. Anderson. "And God said....and it was so." (Gen. 1:9.)

三月廿一日 代禱的恩典 「你們要恆切禱告,在此儆醒感恩;也要為我們禱告。」歌羅西書四章2—3節 沒有其他的服事比代禱工作使我們與神更近,更能進入祂的愛;也沒有甚麼比我們能在神胸前為周圍的人傾心吐意更使我們像神;也沒有甚麼比一生為著別人禱告,使他們得救,更能使我們與偉大的代禱者耶穌基督連結更深、更經歷祂的大能與內住的聖靈。我們從基督在客西馬尼「阿爸父」的呼聲中,得知聖靈的大能如何將這豐滿意義呼入我們心內。當我們為著教會或在黑暗中的外邦人代禱時,這最能幫助我們證實神在祂的話中顯為何等有能——信實。當我們在代禱中把自己當作活祭獻上,並單一地懇求神來答應我們的禱告,將天上的窗戶打開,傾下祂豐富的祝福,那麼人就得到榮耀神,也將達到神最高的定命,而神的國度也將來臨。 沒有甚麼比天天繼續與神的兒女在禱告中的交通中,更能使我們明白,並經歷基督身體那個活的連合,以及連合所產生之不可抗拒的能力。這個禱告就是要神興起憐憫錫安,使她成為坐在黑暗中百姓的火光和生命。哦,弟兄們,我們何其不明白,因著我們不熱心代禱,我們所喪失的是何其多!我們讓神的靈,就是恩典和代求的靈來管理我們的全人時,有甚麼是我們不能為自己,為世界得到的呢! 基督在天上活著是禱告,祂與父之間的談話完全是禱告,為祂的百姓懇求並接受豐滿的聖靈。沒有甚麼比禱告更能使神喜悅了。我們豈不該學習相信,當我們禱告加多時,天上至高的福氣要向我們開啟嗎? 禱告: 可稱頌的父啊!求您傾倒懇求和代禱的靈在您的百姓身上——奉主耶穌的名。阿們。

三月廿一日 是對祂感覺興趣呢?或是與祂聯合呢? 「我已經與基督同釘十字架。」加拉太書二章20節 簽定罪的死刑,是靈性不能避免的需要。將一切情感的印象和智力的信仰,變成一種道德的判決,以裁製罪性,那便是宣佈我的權利的死刑。保羅說:「我已經與基督同釘十字架」並不是說:「我已決意仿傚耶穌基督,」或說:「我要盡力隨從祂,」卻是說:「我已經在祂的死裡與祂同歸於一。」當我決斷這種道德的決定,也實行這種決斷時,那麼基督在十字架上為我作成的一切,就會成就在我的裡面。自由的將自己委託於神,就是給聖靈的機會將耶穌基督的聖潔,灌輸到我的裡面。 「然而我活著……」個性雖然存在,可是支配性格的幹流,是極度的改變了。同樣人體雖是存在,可是自私的權利,是毀棄了。「並且我如今肉體活著……。」──不是我想活著,也不是我求活著,但我現在活著的生命,是在必死的身體裡,是人能見著的生命──「我因神的兒子的信心活著。」這種信仰不是保羅信耶穌基督的信仰,卻是神的兒子灌輸給他的信仰──「神兒子的信仰。」再不是因信仰而信仰,卻是跳出了一切人意之外的信仰,就是與神的兒子所聯合的信仰。

三月廿一日 「你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神……」彼得前書五章7節 有一些事是神無法忍耐的事,所以我們必須遠離那些事。先知尼希米不與參巴拉談他所處理的事和他的懼怕,他單單拒絕和參巴拉接觸,卻以聖殿為避難所專心地禱告。 生命中也有很多我們不該理的事,如果我們放手不做那些不必要的事,從早到晚專心做那些需要我們注意的事,我們會發現,生命就像一條簡單的線。但我們通常把這條線串上成千、想像的珠子,讓憂慮和恐慌變成我們的重擔。其實此時我們只管更依靠神,就不會被這些事弄得心神不定。 有一個可愛的老姊妹在回憶她的一生時曾說:「在我的生命中,我經歷過如山似海的麻煩,其中很多是那些從未曾發生過的憂慮。」她所說的真是有智慧。 像一隻小鳥在巢中, 我們該在神的翼下躲著, 全心地依靠、住在祂裡面。 讓我們把自己的翅膀收起來, 單單地依靠、住在祂裡面, 因為神會成就最好的一切。

隨機小語「人生可以回憶、尋根莫忘本。人生應該向前、回不去過往。人生要有信念、知所信是誰。走不回的過往、只能成回憶。換不回的選擇、只是已枉然。找不回的青春、只珍惜當下。是非得失難算計、上帝計劃巧安排。」。
