第一百一十三篇

Section 113

一八三八年三月，藉先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的有關以賽亞著作中某些問題的解答〔教會史，3：9–10〕。

Answers to certain questions on the writings of Isaiah, given by Joseph Smith the Prophet, March 1838 (see History of the Church, 3:9–10).

1–6，指明耶西的本、由本而出的條和耶西的根；7–10，錫安被分散的遺裔有權得到聖職，並且蒙召喚歸向主。

1–6, The Stem of Jesse, the rod coming therefrom, and the root of Jesse are identified; 7–10, The scattered remnants of Zion have a right to the priesthood and are called to return to the Lord.

1 以賽亞書第十一章第一、第二、第三、第四和第五節中提到的^ａ耶西的本是誰？

1 Who is the ^aStem of Jesse spoken of in the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th verses of the 11th chapter of Isaiah?

2 主實在這樣說：那就是基督。

2 Verily thus saith the Lord: It is Christ.

3 以賽亞書第十一章第一節提到的那必由耶西的本而出的條是什麼？

3 What is the ^arod spoken of in the first verse of the 11th chapter of Isaiah, that should come of the Stem of Jesse?

4 看啊，主這樣說：那是基督手中的一位僕人，他部分是耶西的後裔，也是^ａ以法蓮或約瑟家族的後裔，他被賦予極大的^ｂ能力。

4 Behold, thus saith the Lord: It is a servant in the hands of Christ, who is partly a descendant of Jesse as well as of ^aEphraim, or of the house of Joseph, on whom there is laid much ^bpower.

5 第十一章第十節提到的耶西的根是什麼？

5 What is the ^aroot of Jesse spoken of in the 10th verse of the 11th chapter?

6 看啊，主這樣說，那是耶西的一個後裔，也是約瑟的後裔，聖職和國度的^ａ權鑰本當屬於他，作為一面^ｂ旌旗，為的是在末世時代^ｃ聚集我的人民。

6 Behold, thus saith the Lord, it is a ^adescendant of Jesse, as well as of Joseph, unto whom rightly belongs the ^bpriesthood, and the^ckeys of the kingdom, for an ^densign, and for the gathering of my people in the ^elast days.

7 以利亞 • 西比的問題：以賽亞書第五十二章第一節的命令是什麼意思，那命令說：錫安哪，披上你的能力──而以賽亞所指的又是什麼人？

7 Questions by Elias Higbee: What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion—and what people had Isaiah reference to?

8 他指的是神要在末世召喚的那些人，他們將持有聖職能力，再度帶來^ａ錫安，和救贖以色列；披上她的^ｂ能力就是披上聖職權柄，那是她，錫安，因其家系而有^ｃ權利披上的；也恢復她失去的能力。

8 He had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the ^apower of ^bpriesthood to bring again^cZion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her ^dstrength is to put on the ^eauthority of the ^fpriesthood, which she, Zion, has a^gright to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost.

9 第二節，錫安解開她頸項的鎖鏈，作何解釋？

9 What are we to understand by Zion loosing herself from the bands of her neck; 2d verse?

10 那解釋是，^ａ被分散的遺裔被勸告要從他們墜落的地方^ｂ歸向主；如果他們這樣做，主的應許是要對他們說話，或給他們啟示。見第六、第七及第八節。她頸項的鎖鏈就是神對她的詛咒，或是以色列的遺裔分散在外邦人當中的景況。

10 We are to understand that the ^ascattered ^bremnants are exhorted to ^creturn to the Lord from whence they have fallen; which if they do, the promise of the Lord is that he will speak to them, or give them revelation. See the 6th, 7th, and 8th verses. The ^dbands of her neck are the curses of God upon her, or the remnants of Israel in their scattered condition among the Gentiles.
