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(09月29日)
九月廿九日 「我專心祈禱。」詩篇一○九篇4節 我們禱告的時間常頂匆促、頂急忙。每天我們究竟花多少時間來禱告呢?豈不是很容易以分來計算─最多數分鐘,數十分鐘嗎?誰曾看見過一個靈界的偉人未曾花許多時間來禱告的呢?誰曾看見過一個被聖靈充滿的人未曾花許多時間專心在密室中的呢? 華德飛(Whitefield)說:「數日數夜,甚至數星期,我平臥地上專心禱告——有時出聲,有時不出聲。」還有一位禱告有經驗的說:「雙膝跪下來,就在那裡長進。」他知道他所說的是甚麼。 有人說,一個不喜愛單獨的人,決不能文學上或者科學上有所成功。屬靈的事情也是這樣,一個不常花長時間與神單獨親近的人,決不能在屬靈的事情上得到多大的長進。 ─譯自靜默的時候 「來」, 祂說: 「苦惱和疲乏的人們」, 來到我荒漠的陰影中, 體味溫存; 跟著我遠離紛擾的人間, 平安像音樂似的會沁入你的靈魂。

September 29 "I will myself unto prayer." (Psalm 109:4) WE are often in a religious hurry in our devotions. How much time do we spend in them daily? Can it not be easily reckoned in minutes? Who ever knew an eminently holy man who did not spend much of his time in prayer? Did ever a man exhibit much of the spirit of prayer, who did not devote much time in his closet? Whitefield says, "Whole days and weeks have I spent prostrate on the ground, in silent or vocal prayer." "Fall upon your knees and grow there," is the language of another, who knew whereof he affirmed. It has been said that no great work in literature or science was ever wrought by a man who did not love solitude. We may lay it down as an elemental principle of religion, that no large growth in holiness was ever gained by one who did not take time to be often, and long, alone with God. ─The Still Hour. "`Come, come,' He saith, `O soul appressed and weary, Come to the shadows of my desert rest; Come walk with Me for from life's babbling discords, And peace shall breathe like music in thy breast.'"

九月廿九日 愛 「祂(耶穌)既然愛世間屬自己的人,就愛他們到底。」約翰福音十三章1節 這句話是記載耶穌在往客西馬尼園之前,曾對門徒講出一段聖潔而極具深度的演講,(約十三-十七章)開始的一句話,把主彰顯在十字架上的大愛完全啟示出來。 祂開始說出新命令:「你們要彼此相愛」(十三34),接著又說:「你們若愛我就必遵守我的命令……愛我的必蒙我父愛他,我也要愛他,並且要向他顯現……我們要到他那裏去與他同住。」(十四15、21、23)新生命就是在基督耶穌裏之屬天的生命,是要彰顯神在基督裏的愛。再下去,耶穌又說道:「我愛你們,正如父愛我一樣,你們要常在我的愛裏……你們要彼此相愛,像我愛你們一樣,這就是我的命令。人為朋友捨命,人的愛心沒有比這個大的。」(十五9-13)「叫世人知道您差了我來,也知道您愛他們如同愛我一樣……我已將您的名指示他們……使您所愛我的愛也在他們裏面,我也在他們裏面。」(十七23、26) 如果這些神對基督的愛成為我們生活的經驗,那就更容易明白;然而在此將父神對聖子的愛放在我們心中,假如主耶穌親自向我們顯現,必是帶著愛心。我們每天享受祂的同在,必是在祂與我之間有永遠相愛的關係,這種愛紮根在相信主耶穌進入我的心,並向祂顯明順服愛別人的命令。 我們看到初期教會是如何失落起初的愛心,但其他活動仍能照常前行。(啟二2-4)。只有在聖潔的空氣之中,才能明瞭基督內住活潑的愛,也因這具有深度的大愛,才能解釋基督「我永遠與你們同在」的應許。

九月廿九日 召喚的意識 「因為我是不得已的,若不傳福音,我便有禍了。」哥林多前書九章16節 我們容易忘卻神神祕超然的指點。神的召喚,如果你指得出,說得出,我倒有些懷疑。神的召喚,未必像這樣的來到,是超然得多,神祕得多。神的召喚,也許霹靂一聲的來到,也許如黎明放曉的來到,但無論如何到來,是與超然的暗流同來,是不能以言語形容的,常是忽焉蒞止的事。要隨時感覺這種不能預料,握住你的生命超然的召喚,──「我揀選了你們」。神的召喚,是與救恩和成聖無關。不是因為你成聖,所以你蒙召傳福音。蒙召傳福音絕對不是因為成聖。保羅說,我若不傳福音就有禍了。 如果你曾消滅神在你生活中所給與的超然選召,你就回想你的情景,看在甚麼地方沒有將神放在最前面,反將你服從的觀念或你的天才放在最前面。保羅說:「我若不傳福音,我便有禍了!」他曾察覺神的召喚,也再不為別事耗費他的力量。 若是一個男人或女人蒙了神的選召,無須顧慮他或她的環境怎樣,萬事都替神的旨意效力。如果你同意神的旨意,祂不但叫你意識的生命和諧一致,而且叫你生命的深處,就是你所探測不到的深處,諧和起來。

九月廿九日 「……神所潔淨的,你不可當作俗物」使徒行傳十章15節 「我憑著主耶穌確知深信,凡物本來沒有不潔淨的……」羅馬書十四章14節 就像我們可以讓基督參與我們屬靈的事奉,我們也可以請基督參與我們生命中每一件平常無比的事。因為把神的恩典用到日常生活中最普通的事,似乎是最高且最難的,所以神甚至能在這些事上,比其他特別神聖的事上,得著更多的榮耀。 羅馬書十二章可說是獻身給主之人的手冊。保羅在談完肢體中事奉的大事後,立刻說到我們應該在普通、社交、屬世的事上,也運用獻身的原則。他說:「愛弟兄,要彼此親熱;恭敬人,要彼此推讓。慇勤不可懶惰,要心裡火熱,常常服事主。」(羅十二10—11) 神不僅要利未人住在以色列的各城市中彰顯祂,也要我們在研習會中、工廠、廚房、托兒所、編輯室、印刷場等各處,就如我們站在講壇,或是在禱告室中一樣地榮耀祂。祂總是盼望我們在一個星期中的任何一個時刻,都彷彿週日處在祂的聖殿中那樣聖潔。

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。」。
