2 Nephi 1–5
尼腓二書第1~5章
“We Lived after the Manner of Happiness”
「我們依著幸福的方式生活」

1“We Lived after the Manner of Happiness”

1「我們依著幸福的方式生活」

2The scriptures can open the door to personal revelation. As you read 2 Nephi 1–5, you may find that the Lord has something specific that He wants to teach you.

2經文可以開啟通往個人啟示的大門。閱讀尼腓二書第1~5章時,你或許會發現主想要教導你某些特別的事。

4If you knew your life was coming to an end, what final messages would you want to share with those you love most? When the prophet Lehi felt he was nearing the end of his life, he gathered his children together one last time to prophesy and share the gospel truths he cherished with the people he cherished. He taught of liberty, obedience, the Fall of Adam and Eve, redemption through Jesus Christ, and joy. Not all of his children accepted his final testimony, but those who did—along with the millions who read it today—found in his testimony principles for living “after the manner of happiness” (2 Nephi 5:27).

4你若知道自己的生命即將結束,會想跟你最愛的人分享什麼臨終遺言?先知李海覺得自己的生命即將終了,於是最後一次把孩子聚在一起,向他心愛的人預言並分享他所珍視的福音真理。他教導自由、服從、亞當和夏娃的墜落、透過耶穌基督而來的救贖,以及喜樂。並非他所有的孩子都接受他臨終的見證,但凡接受的——以及今日讀到他見證的千百萬人——會在他的見證中發現「依著幸福的方式生活」(尼腓二書5:27)的原則。

52 Nephi 2

5尼腓二書第2章

6I am free to choose eternal life.

6我可以自行選擇永生。

7Elder D. Todd Christofferson said: “God intends that His children should act according to the moral agency He has given them. … It is His plan and His will that we have the principal decision-making role in our own life’s drama” (“Free Forever, to Act for Themselves,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2014, 16). In his teachings about agency, Lehi identified essential conditions that make agency possible and enable us to reach our divine potential, including the following:

7陶德·克理斯多長老說:「神要祂的兒女按照祂給他們的道德選擇權來行動。……正因祂的計畫和旨意,『作決定』這個重要的角色,才會出現在我們自己生活的舞台」(「永遠自由,可以自己採取行動」,2014年11月,利阿賀拿,第17頁)。李海在教導選擇權時,指出了讓我們能行使選擇權,得以發揮神聖的潛能的基本條件。以下是這些條件:

8A knowledge of good and evil (2 Nephi 2:5)

8知道善惡(尼腓二書2:5)

9A law given to mankind (2 Nephi 2:5)

9賜給世人律法(尼腓二書2:5)

10Opposing, enticing choices (2 Nephi 2:11)

10互相對立又吸引人的選擇(尼腓二書2:11)

11Power to act (2 Nephi 2:16)

11採取行動的能力(尼腓二書2:16)

12As you read 2 Nephi 2, what do you learn about each of these conditions of agency and their relationship to each other? What would happen to our agency if one or more of these conditions were missing? What else do you learn about agency from Lehi’s words?

12閱讀尼腓二書第2章時,你從選擇權的每一個條件中學到什麼?又從它們彼此之間的關係學到什麼?這些條件若少了一兩樣,會如何影響我們的選擇權?你從李海的話中還學到哪些其他有關選擇權的事?

132 Nephi 2:22–29

13尼腓二書2:22-29

14The Fall and the Atonement of Jesus Christ are essential parts of Heavenly Father’s plan.

14墜落與耶穌基督的贖罪是天父計畫中不可或缺的部分。

15Many people see the Fall of Adam and Eve as a tragic event. However, Lehi’s teachings about the Fall reveal why it was a necessary part of the Father’s plan for our eternal progression. As you read these verses, look for why the Fall needed to happen in order for us—Heavenly Father’s children—to progress. How did the Savior’s atoning sacrifice redeem us from the Fall?

15許多人視亞當和夏娃的墜落為一悲劇事件。但是,李海在教導墜落時揭示了為何在天父的計畫中必須要有墜落,我們才能在永恆中進步。閱讀這些章節時,找出為什麼我們——天父的兒女——若要進步,墜落就必須先發生。救主的贖罪犧牲如何救贖我們脫離墜落的狀態?

172 Nephi 3:6–24

17尼腓二書3:6-24

18Joseph Smith was foreordained to restore the gospel.

18約瑟·斯密被預立來復興福音。

19The last part of 2 Nephi 3 contains a prophecy given by Joseph of Egypt about a future seer who would share his name (see verses 14–15)—Joseph Smith. It also has a lot to say about Joseph Smith’s mission. What do verses 6–24 say that Joseph Smith, a “choice seer,” would do to bless God’s people? How has Joseph Smith’s work been “of great worth” to you?

19尼腓二書第3章的最後一部分記載了在埃及的約瑟的一則預言,他預言將來會有一位先見與他同名(見第14-15節),那位先見就是約瑟·斯密。這一部分也提到很多關於約瑟·斯密的使命。第6-24節說約瑟·斯密這位「精選先見」會做什麼,使神的人民蒙受祝福?約瑟·斯密的事工為何對你「極有價值」?

20One important part of Joseph Smith’s mission was to bring forth the writings of the seed of Joseph, which are contained in the Book of Mormon. What do you learn from this chapter about the importance of the Book of Mormon?

20約瑟·斯密的一大重要使命就是,讓摩爾門經中約瑟後裔的寫作問世。你從這章經文學習到摩爾門經有何重要性?

232 Nephi 4:15–35

23尼腓二書4:15-35

24I can turn to God in my weakness.

24我可以在軟弱時轉向神。

25Nephi had recently lost his father. The responsibility for leading his family now rested on him. He felt surrounded by temptation and was discouraged because of his sins. Even if your circumstances are different from Nephi’s, you may relate to some of his thoughts and emotions recorded in 2 Nephi 4:15–35. What helped Nephi in his afflictions? How can Nephi’s response to his challenges help you face your struggles?

25尼腓剛失去父親,帶領全家的責任現在落在他身上。他感覺自己被誘惑包圍,也因自己的罪而感到沮喪。縱使你的情況與尼腓的不同,還是能對尼腓二書4:15-35中所記的一些想法和情緒有所體會。是什麼幫助了在苦難中的尼腓?尼腓回應挑戰的方式,如何能幫助你面對自己的苦難?

262 Nephi 5

26尼腓二書第5章

27Happiness is found in living the gospel.

27遵行福音可以找到幸福。

28How would you define happiness? Nephi wrote that his people lived “after the manner of happiness” (2 Nephi 5:27). You might look for choices Nephi and his people made that led to happiness—ways they supported each other and their families, what they valued in their community, and so on. What do you learn that can help you build a life of happiness, as the people of Nephi did?

28你會如何定義「幸福」?尼腓寫說,他的人民「依著幸福的方式生活」(尼腓二書5:27)。你可以找出尼腓和他的人民做了哪些選擇來獲得幸福——他們如何支持彼此和家人,他們的社會重視什麼等等。你學到什麼,可以幫助你建立幸福的人生,就像尼腓的人民那樣?

292 Nephi 5:20–21

29你和家人一起閱讀經文時,聖靈會幫助你知道該強調並討論哪些原則,以符合家庭的需求。以下是一些建議:

30What was the curse that came upon the Lamanites?

30尼腓二書1:13-25

31In Nephi’s day the curse of the Lamanites was that they were “cut off from [the Lord’s] presence … because of their iniquity” (2 Nephi 5:20–21). This meant the Spirit of the Lord was withdrawn from their lives. When Lamanites later embraced the gospel of Jesus Christ, “the curse of God did no more follow them” (Alma 23:18).

31這幾節經文教導我們,正義的父母對孩子最大的願望是什麼?

32The Book of Mormon also states that a mark of dark skin came upon the Lamanites after the Nephites separated from them. The nature and appearance of this mark are not fully understood. The mark initially distinguished the Lamanites from the Nephites. Later, as both the Nephites and Lamanites each went through periods of wickedness and righteousness, the mark became irrelevant as an indicator of the Lamanites’ standing before God.

32尼腓二書3:6

33Prophets affirm in our day that dark skin is not a sign of divine disfavor or cursing. The Church embraces Nephi’s teaching that the Lord “denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female” (2 Nephi 26:33). President Russell M. Nelson declared: “The Lord has stressed His essential doctrine of equal opportunity for His children. … Differences in culture, language, gender, race, and nationality fade into insignificance as the faithful enter the covenant path and come unto our beloved Redeemer” (“President Nelson Remarks at Worldwide Priesthood Celebration” [June 1, 2018], newsroom.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

33一起閱讀經文指南中的「先見」。約瑟·斯密如何是一位先見?為什麼我們會對約瑟·斯密完成的事工心懷感謝?(見尼腓二書3:6-24。)

34See also “Till We All Come in the Unity of the Faith” (video, ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

34尼腓二書4:20-25

35As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit will help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family. Here are some ideas.

35一起閱讀尼腓二書4:20-25時,每讀一節就停頓一下,然後請家人分享他們曾在何時經歷或體會到尼腓形容的事。神為我們的家庭做過哪些事?

362 Nephi 1:13–25

36尼腓二書第5章

37What do these verses teach us about a righteous parent’s greatest wishes for his or her children?

37你的家庭用哪些方法「依著幸福的方式生活」?你的家庭閱讀尼腓二書第5章時,可以討論尼腓人關心的事情:家庭(第6節),誡命(第10節),經文(第12節),教育(第15節),聖殿(第16節),工作(第17節),以及教會召喚(第26節)。進行這個活動的一個方法,就是找出幾個代表這些事情的物品,然後再談談我們要如何表示出我們和尼腓人一樣,同樣重視這些事情。

382 Nephi 3:6

38教導兒童的更多建議,見來跟從我——供初級會使用的本週大綱。

39Read together “Seer” in the Bible Dictionary. How was Joseph Smith a seer? Why are we grateful for the work that Joseph Smith accomplished? (see 2 Nephi 3:6–24).

39改進教導

402 Nephi 4:20–25

40隨時觀察。只要你注意孩子的生活情況,就會找到極佳的教導機會。孩子的意見,或他們所提出的問題,也可以成為教導的機會。(見以救主的方式教導,第16頁。)

41As you read 2 Nephi 4:20–25 together, pause after each verse, and invite family members to share when they have experienced or felt what Nephi describes. What has God done for our family?

43What are some of the ways your family is living “after the manner of happiness”? As your family reads 2 Nephi 5, you could discuss the things the Nephites cared about: family (verse 6), the commandments (verse 10), the scriptures (verse 12), education (verse 15), temples (verse 16), work (verse 17), and Church callings (verse 26). One way to do this is to find objects that represent some of these things and talk about how we show that we, like the Nephites, value these same things.
