第一百零八篇

Section 108

一八三五年十二月二十六日，在俄亥俄，嘉德蘭，透過先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的啟示〔教會史，2:345〕。這一篇是因列曼 • 施曼的請求而獲得，他之前已被按立為大祭司和七十員，他來找先知，請求得到顯明他職責的啟示。

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, 26 December 1835 (see History of the Church, 2:345). This section was received at the request of Lyman Sherman, who had previously been ordained a high priest and a seventy and who had come to the Prophet with a request for a revelation to make known his duty.

1–3，列曼 • 施曼的罪得赦；4–5，他要被算在教會居領導地位的長老中；6–8，他蒙召喚傳福音和堅固他的弟兄。

1–3, Lyman Sherman forgiven of his sins; 4–5, He is to be numbered with the leading elders of the Church; 6–8, He is called to preach the gospel and strengthen his brethren.

1 我的僕人列曼，主實在這樣告訴你：你的罪赦了，因為你已聽從我的聲音，今天早上到這裡來接受我指定的人的勸告。

1 Verily thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant Lyman: Your sins are forgiven you, because you have obeyed my ^avoice in coming up hither this morning to receive counsel of him whom I have appointed.

2 所以，關於你靈性的情況，你的靈魂要^ａ平靜，不要再抗拒我的聲音。

2 Therefore, let your soul be at ^arest concerning your spiritual standing, and resist no more my voice.

3 站起來，從今以後要更小心遵守你過去和現在所立的誓約，這樣你必蒙得極大的祝福。

3 And arise up and be more careful henceforth in observing your^avows, which you have made and do make, and you shall be blessed with exceeding great blessings.

4 耐心等待，直到我僕人們召開^ａ莊嚴集會，到時你將與我首要的長老們一同被記起，與我揀選的其他長老一起藉按立而接受權利。

4 Wait patiently until the ^asolemn assembly shall be called of my servants, then you shall be remembered with the ^bfirst of mine elders, and receive right by ordination with the rest of mine elders whom I have chosen.

5 看啊，如果你繼續忠信，這是父對你的^ａ應許。

5 Behold, this is the ^apromise of the Father unto you if you continue faithful.

6 那將在那天應驗在你身上，使你從那時起，有權利到我派你去的任何地方^ａ傳我的福音。

6 And it shall be fulfilled upon you in that day that you shall have right to ^apreach my gospel wheresoever I shall send you, from henceforth from that time.

7 所以，要在你一切言談中、在你一切祈禱中、在你一切勸勉中，和在你一切行為中，^ａ堅固你的弟兄。

7 Therefore, ^astrengthen your brethren in all your conversation, in all your prayers, in all your exhortations, and in all your doings.

8 看啊，看，我與你同在，永遠祝福你、^ａ解救你。阿們。

8 And behold, and lo, I am with you to bless you and ^adeliver you forever. Amen.
