第二十五篇

Section 25

一八三○年七月，在 賓夕法尼亞， 哈茂耐，透過先知 約瑟 • 斯密給予的啟示〔 教會史，1:103–104〕。（見 第二十四篇前言。）這啟示顯明主對先知的妻子 愛瑪 • 斯密的旨意。

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Harmony, Pennsylvania, July 1830 (see History of the Church,1:103–4; see also the heading to section 24). This revelation manifests the will of the Lord to Emma Smith, the Prophet’s wife.

1–6，愛瑪 • 斯密，一位蒙揀選的女子，被召喚幫助並安慰其丈夫；7–11，她還被召喚抄寫紀錄，講解經文並選擇聖詩；12–14，義人的歌唱就是對主的祈禱；15–16，這啟示中的服從原則適用於所有的人。

1–6, Emma Smith, an elect lady, is called to aid and comfort her husband;7–11, She is also called to write, to expound scriptures, and to select hymns; 12–14, The song of the righteous is a prayer unto the Lord; 15–16, Principles of obedience in this revelation are applicable to all.

1 我的女兒愛瑪 • 斯密，我對你講話時，要聽你主神的聲音；因為，我實在告訴你，凡^ａ接受我福音的人，都是我^ｂ國度中的兒女。

1 Hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God, while I speak unto you, Emma Smith, my daughter; for verily I say unto you, all those who ^areceive my gospel are sons and daughters in my ^bkingdom.

2 我給你一個關於我旨意的啟示；如果你忠信，並在我面前^ａ行走在^ｂ美德之道上，我必保全你的生命，而你必在錫安得到^ｃ產業。

2 A revelation I give unto you concerning my will; and if thou art faithful and ^awalk in the paths of ^bvirtue before me, I will preserve thy life, and thou shalt receive an ^cinheritance in Zion.

3 看啊，你的^ａ罪赦了，你是一位我所^ｂ召喚的，蒙揀選的女子。

3 Behold, thy ^asins are forgiven thee, and thou art an ^belect ^clady, whom I have ^dcalled.

4 不要為你沒有看到的事物抱怨，因為那些事物不讓你和世人看到，是我在未來時期的智慧。

4 ^aMurmur not because of the ^bthings which thou hast not seen, for they are ^cwithheld from thee and from the world, which is wisdom in me in a time to come.

5 你蒙召喚的職責是以安慰的言語、溫順的態度，在我僕人小約瑟 • 斯密，亦即你丈夫痛苦時^ａ安慰他。

5 And the office of thy calling shall be for a ^acomfort unto my servant, Joseph Smith, Jun., thy ^bhusband, in his ^cafflictions, with consoling words, in the spirit of ^dmeekness.

6 他走時你要跟他一起走，沒有人作他的抄寫員時，你要作他的抄寫員，這樣我好派我僕人奧利佛 • 考德里，到我要他去的任何地方。

6 And thou shalt go with him at the time of his going, and be unto him for a scribe, while there is no one to be a scribe for him, that I may send my servant, Oliver Cowdery, whithersoever I will.

7 你要由他的手^ａ按立，按照我的靈給你的那樣，講解經文，勸勉教友。

7 And thou shalt be ^aordained under his hand to expound scriptures, and to exhort the church, according as it shall be given thee by my ^bSpirit.

8 因為他將^ａ按手在你頭上，你將接受聖靈，你的時間要用來抄寫和多多學習。

8 For he shall lay his ^ahands upon thee, and thou shalt receive the Holy Ghost, and thy time shall be given to writing, and to learning much.

9 你不用害怕，因為你丈夫將在教會中支持你；因為他是為他們而被^ａ召喚的，好使我要^ｂ顯示的一切，都能按照他們的信心向他們顯示。

9 And thou needest not fear, for thy ^ahusband shall support thee in the church; for unto them is his ^bcalling, that all things might be^crevealed unto them, whatsoever I will, according to their faith.

10 我實在告訴你，你要把這^ａ世上的^ｂ事放在一邊，^ｃ追求一個較好世界的事。

10 And verily I say unto thee that thou shalt lay aside the ^athingsof this ^bworld, and ^cseek for the things of a ^dbetter.

11 此外，將要指示你，照那將給你的指示，製作一本我所喜悅的^ａ聖詩選輯，供我教會使用。

11 And it shall be given thee, also, to make a selection of ^asacred^bhymns, as it shall be given thee, which is pleasing unto me, to be had in my church.

12 因為，我的靈魂喜愛發自^ａ內心的^ｂ歌唱；是的，義人的歌唱就是對我的祈禱，必有祝福加在他們頭上作為答覆。

12 For my soul ^adelighteth in the ^bsong of the ^cheart; yea, the^dsong of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.

13 因此，要滿懷喜樂，並固守你立的聖約。

13 Wherefore, ^alift up thy heart and ^brejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made.

14 保持^ａ溫順的態度，慎防^ｂ驕傲。讓你的靈魂因你丈夫和那將給予他的榮耀而喜悅。

14 Continue in the spirit of meekness, and beware of ^apride. Let thy soul delight in thy ^bhusband, and the ^cglory which shall come upon him.

15 不斷遵守我的誡命，這樣你必得到^ａ正義的^ｂ冠冕。除非你這麼做，否則我所在的地方你^ｃ不能到。

15 Keep my commandments continually, and a ^acrown of^brighteousness thou shalt receive. And except thou do this, where I am you ^ccannot come.

16 我實實在在告訴你，這是我對所有的人說的^ａ話。阿們。

16 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my ^avoice unto all. Amen.
