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(08月14日)
八月十四日 「若不是從上頭賜給你的,你就毫無權柄辦我。」約翰福音十九章11節 凡是臨到一個信靠順服神的人身上的事情,沒有一件不是神的旨意。這就足彀叫我們不息地感謝讚美了。因為神的旨意是世上最有希望的、最快活的、最榮耀的東西;祂也是全能的;只要我們肯順服信靠,沒有東西能阻止祂。 一個深受痛苦的人寫信給他的朋友說:「不管這件事情多麼不公正,多麼像出乎撒但,但我一想到這事臨到我,是神的旨意,並且是叫我得益處的,我就立刻覺得榮耀了。」感謝神,我們曉得萬事都互相效力,叫愛神的人得益處。就是被賣這一件事,基督尚且說:「我父所給我的那杯,我豈可不喝呢?」(約十八11),如果我們生活在神的旨意中,我們的生活是何等佳美?撒但給我們的一切襲擊,不但無力傷害我們,並且在半路上都已經變成祝福了。 ─H.W.S. 神的旨意像一個圈, 我站在這圈的中間, 一切都由祂而來, 一切都美滿, 因為我一生都由祂成全。 我是否將經歷苦難? 我知道那樣最有益, 雖然我說不出理由, 我能信靠,就有福澤, 神即愛, 神即信義, 因此我得美滿的安息。 有陰影, 也有陽光, 有歡欣, 也有痛苦, 主,我信靠您, 兩者都需要, 都司訓練您的子民, 我們祗知道, 在人世的喪失, 往往會補償於天府。 ─J.G.W.

August 14 "Thou couldst have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above." (John 19:11.) NOTHING that is not God's will can come into the life of one who trusts and obeys God. This fact is enough to make our life one of ceaseless thanksgiving and joy. For "God's will is the one hopeful, glad, and glorious thing in the world;" and it is working in the omnipotence for us all the time, with nothing to prevent it if we are surrendered and believing. One who was passing through deep waters of affliction wrote to a friend: "Is it not a glorious thing to know that, no difference how unjust a thing may be, or how absolutely it may seem to be from Satan. by the time it reaches us it is God's will for us, and will work for good to us? For all things work together for good to us who love God. And even of the betrayal, Christ said, "The cup which my Father gave me, shall I not drink it?" We live charmed lives if we are living in the center of God's will. All the attacks that Satan, through others' sin, can hurl against us are not only powerless to harm us, but are truned into blessings on the way. ─H. W. S. In the center of the circle Of the Will of God I stand: There can come no second causes, All must come from His dear hand. All is well! for'tis my Father Who my life hath planned. Shall I pase through waves of sorrow? Then I know it will be best; Though I cannot tell the reason, I can trust, and so am blest. God is Love, and God is faithful, So in perfect Peace I rest. With the shade and with the sunshine, With the joy and with the pain, Lord, I trust Thee! both are needed, Each Thy wayward child to train, Earthly loss, did we but know it, Often means our heavenly gain. ─I. G. W.

八月十四日 十字架的死亡 「『父啊!我將我的靈魂交在您手裏!』說了這話,氣就斷了。」路加福音廿三章46節 像大衛在詩篇卅一篇5節所說,基督將靈魂每日的生命和需要交在神手中,但此處有些特別新鮮的意義,祂若將自己的靈魂置於死亡權下,受之管轄,並放在黑暗而死陰的墳墓中,不能思想也不能禱告,但祂降服自己在神手中,信靠神在黑暗中照顧祂,並再次使祂復活。 假如我們實在死於基督裏,現在憑信心每天和祂同死,我們就要基督照所說的,恨惡並失去生命。 我們死在亞當裏,因我們從亞當所承受的,是死亡的生命,乏善可陳,也無屬天生命的本質。由於內部的敗壞,使我們從世界所得的整個生命必須死;除非治死老我或「舊人」,否則無法有真正的聖潔。很多人沒有治死自我而渴望靠自己的本性能在神面前活著,但都失敗了,因為一粒麥子若不死,絕不能活;治死老我是真虔誠的根本,若非死亡,則屬靈的生命無法成長。 但或有人問道,要如何才能得到基督死的心志,像基督一像把自己擺在神面前?除我們與耶穌一樣說:「父啊!我將我的靈魂交在您手中!」單純而絕對的依靠神賜下新生命,否則我們無法得到;神奇妙應許的話,成就在我們這些相信神將基督從死裏復活的大能大力之人身上。 這實在是真信心的考驗:每時刻絕對依靠神藉聖靈,親自直接而不斷賜與的屬靈生命。

八月十四日 管教 「你不可輕看主的管教,被祂責備的時候,也不可灰心。」希伯來書十二章5節 消滅聖靈是很容易的;比如輕看主的管教,一受責備灰心喪志,如果我們僅有成聖膚淺的經驗,我們就將影子當作真實,神的靈來指責的時候,我們反說──「啊,那必是魔鬼!」 千萬不要消滅聖靈,當祂向你說──「不要在這點上再作瞎子;當明白你還沒有達到你所想到的地方。直到現在,我不能把它啟示給你,但是我現在要啟示了」──這些話,你不可輕視。當主像那樣管教的時候,讓祂管教好了。讓祂使你與神發生正當的關係。 「被祂責備的時候,也不可灰心。」我們對神有不悅之色,而且說──「好,我沒有辦法;我曾祈求過,但事情並沒有好轉,我要放棄一切了。」如果我們在任何其他事上像這樣說,將有何結果哩! 我是準備讓神用祂的能力握住我,在我裡面做一種與祂有價值的工作麼?成聖不是我希望神照我的意思;是神照自己的意思叫我們成聖,祂必要使我們具有這種心靈的態度,無論付甚麼代價,我仍然讓祂使我完全成聖。

八月十四日 「……不可難為我受膏的人,也不可惡待我的先知。」詩篇一百零五篇15節 我寧可被雷劈,也不願說一句反對基督僕人的話語。我寧可為電流所擊,也不願輕易地說主僕人的壞話,像那些用誹謗話語中傷弟兄姊妹的人。 或許我們會問:為什麼我們無法得醫治?為什麼沒有聖靈的喜樂?為什麼我們的生命中沒有祝福也沒有財富?這可能是因為我們在話語上中傷了人,更得罪了神。再說,我們若惡待他人,往往也會遭到同樣的禮遇。 願我們牢記,當我們迫害或是譭謗神的兒女時,事實上我們乃是在迫害祂,同時更是大大地傷害我們自己。 主啊!求您使我們對他人的感覺及權利更為敏感,就像對我們自己那樣敏感一般。求您使我們像您一樣地愛人,為他人而活。
