Record Your Impressions
記錄靈感啟發

4As Lehi’s family journeyed toward the promised land, the Lord made them this promise: “I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments” (1 Nephi 17:13).

4李海的家庭往應許地前進時,主賜給他們這個應許:「如果你們遵守我的誡命,我必在你們前面預備道路」(尼腓一書17:13)。

5Clearly, that promise did not mean that the journey would be easy—family members still disagreed, bows broke, and people struggled and died, and they still had to build a ship from raw materials.

5蒙得那樣的應許不代表那會是一趟輕鬆的旅程——他們的家人依舊不和,弓照樣斷,人民會受苦、會死亡,而且他們仍然必須找材料造船。

6However, when the family faced adversity or seemingly impossible tasks, Nephi recognized that the Lord was never far away.

6然而,這個家庭在面對苦難或看似不可能達成的任務時,尼腓領悟到主從未遠離他們。

7He knew that God “doth nourish [the faithful], and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them” (1 Nephi 17:3).

7他知道神「必滋養〔忠信的人〕,加強他們,並提供方法,使他們能完成祂命令的事」(尼腓一書17:3)。

8If you ever wonder why bad things happen to good people like Nephi and his family, you may find insights in these chapters.

8如果你曾納悶為何壞事會發生在尼腓和他家庭這樣的好人身上,你可以從這幾章中找到一些見解。

9But perhaps more important, you will see what good people do when bad things happen.

9不過或許更重要的是,你會看見壞事發生的時候,好人會做什麼。

1 Nephi 16–18
尼腓一書第16~18章
When I keep the commandments, God will help me face challenges.
只要我遵守誡命,神必幫助我面對挑戰。

10Chapters 16–18 of 1 Nephi describe several challenges that Nephi’s family faced, including dealing with a broken bow (see 1 Nephi 16:17–32), the death of Ishmael (see 1 Nephi 16:34–39), building a ship (see 1 Nephi 17:7–16; 18:1–4), and family discord (see 1 Nephi 18:9–22).

10尼腓一書第16~18章描述尼腓家庭面對的數個挑戰,其中包括斷弓事件(見尼腓一書16:17-32),以實瑪利過世(見尼腓一書16:34-39),造船(見尼腓一書17:7-16;18:1-4),以及家人不和(見尼腓一書18:9-22)。

11How did Nephi’s responses to these challenges differ from the responses of some of his family members?

11尼腓回應這些挑戰的方式,如何不同於他某些家人的回應?

12What were the consequences of these responses?

12這些回應造成什麼結果?

13It might help to record what you find in a table with headings like these: “Challenge,” “Nephi’s Response,” “Others’ Responses,” and “Results.”

13用表格記下發現的內容可能會有所幫助;表格裡可以有如下的標題:「挑戰」、「尼腓的回應」、「其他人的回應」,以及「結果」。

14Why do you think Nephi was able to remain so faithful when others did not?

14你認為為什麼尼腓能保持如此的忠信,其他人卻不能?

15Reflect on how the example of Nephi and his family can help you with your challenges.

15思考尼腓和他家庭的榜樣如何能幫助你面對挑戰。

1 Nephi 16:10–16, 23–31; 18:11–22
尼腓一書16:10-16,23-31;18:11-22
The Lord guides me through small and simple means.
主藉著微小而簡單的方式引導我。

17When God led Lehi’s family into the wilderness, He did not provide them with a detailed travel plan to the promised land.

17神帶領李海的家庭進入曠野時,並沒有給他們到應許地的詳細旅行計畫。

18But He did give Lehi the Liahona to guide his family daily toward their destination.

18不過,他給了李海利阿賀拿,每天引導他們一家往目的地前進。

19What has Heavenly Father given you to provide guidance and direction?

19天父已賜給你哪些東西來引導你,給你方向?

20What do you think it means that “by small means the Lord can bring about great things”? (1 Nephi 16:29).

20你認為,「主能藉著微小的方法,促成偉大的事情」(尼腓一書16:29)這句話是什麼意思?

21As you read 1 Nephi 16:10–16, 23–31 and 18:11–22, consider making a list of principles that illustrate how God guides His children.

21閱讀尼腓一書16:10-16,23-31和18:11-22時,可以把能說明神如何引導祂的兒女的原則列出來。

22(for example, 1 Nephi 16:10 can teach that God sometimes guides us in unexpected ways)

22(例如,尼腓一書16:10教導我們,神有時會用令人意想不到的方式引導我們)

23What experiences have you had with these principles?

1 Nephi 19:23–24; 20–22
尼腓一書19:23-24;第20~22章
I can “liken all scriptures” to myself.
我可以「把所有經文都比作」對我自己說的。

26Isaiah wrote to all the children of Israel, and Nephi saw that this included his own family specifically—and it includes you (see 1 Nephi 19:23–24).

26以賽亞所寫的事情是寫給整個以色列兒女的,尼腓知道這明確地包括他自己的家庭——也包括你(見尼腓一書19:23-24)。

27Regarding Nephi’s quotations of Isaiah, President Henry B. Eyring said, “I read Isaiah’s words … assuming Nephi picked the parts of Isaiah that I, without worrying about the imagery, could take directly to my heart as if the Lord were speaking to me”.

27關於尼腓引述以賽亞的話,亨利·艾寧會長說:「我把以賽亞的那些話……讀一遍,我認為尼腓所選擇的這些以賽亞書的部分,都能直接深入我心,就像主親自對我說話一樣,而不用擔心意象的問題」。

28(“The Book of Mormon Will Change Your Life,” Ensign, Feb. 2004, 10)

28(參閱「摩爾門經會使你的一生改觀」,2004年2月,聖徒之聲,第14頁)

29With President Eyring’s words in mind, consider questions like the following as you read chapters 20–22:

1 Nephi 21
尼腓一書第21章
Who are the house of Israel and the Gentiles?
以色列家族和外邦人是指誰?

40The house of Israel are the descendants of the Old Testament prophet Jacob, who was given the name Israel by the Lord.

40以色列家族是舊約先知雅各的後裔;主將以色列這個名字賜給雅各。

41(see Genesis 32:28; 35:10; see also Bible Dictionary, “Israel”)

41(見創世記32:28;35:10;亦見經文指南,「以色列」)

42The Lord made certain covenants with Israel, and his descendants were considered God’s covenant people.

42主與以色列訂立特定的聖約,他的後裔於是被視為神的約民。

43However, generations later, many of them turned away from the Lord and were eventually scattered across the earth.

43不過,幾個世代之後,他們當中有許多人背離了主,最後被分散到世界各地。

44The term Gentiles in these passages refers to people that do not yet have the gospel (see Bible Dictionary, “Gentile”).

44在這段經文章節裡的外邦人一詞,指的是尚未擁有福音的人(見經文指南,「外邦人」)。

45Isaiah taught that in the latter days the Gentiles would be given the gospel and be instrumental in teaching and gathering the house of Israel.

45以賽亞教導,在後期時代,外邦人將被賜予福音,成為教導和聚集以色列家族的工具。

46(see 1 Nephi 21:22; 22:8–12; see also Isaiah 60; 66:18–20)

46(見尼腓一書21:22;22:8-12;亦見以賽亞書第60章;66:18-20)
