第三十三篇

Section 33

一八三○年十月，在紐約，菲也特，透過先知約瑟 • 斯密給予以斯拉 • 泰爾和諾拉 • 史維的啟示〔教會史，1:126–127〕。記錄這啟示時，先知斷言：「凡憑信心認真求問的人，……主隨時都會給予指示」〔教會史，1:126〕。

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet to Ezra Thayre and Northrop Sweet, at Fayette, New York, October 1830 (see History of the Church, 1:126–27). In recording this revelation, the Prophet affirmed that “the … Lord is ever ready to instruct such as diligently seek in faith” (History of the Church,1:126).

1–4，工作者蒙召喚在第十一個時辰宣講福音；5–6，教會已建立，選民將聚集；7–10，悔改，因為天國近了；11–15，教會建立在福音磐石上；16–18，為新郎來臨作準備。

1–4, Laborers are called to declare the gospel in the eleventh hour; 5–6, The Church is established, and the elect are to be gathered; 7–10, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; 11–15, The Church is built upon the gospel rock; 16–18, Prepare for the coming of the Bridegroom.

1 看啊，我的僕人以斯拉和諾拉，我告訴你們，張開耳朵聽主你們的神的聲音，祂的^ａ話生動而有力，比雙刃劍更銳利，可切開關節和骨髓、靈魂和靈，可辨別心中的思想和^ｂ心意。

1 Behold, I say unto you, my servants ^aEzra and Northrop, open ye your ears and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, whose ^bword is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow, soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and ^cintents of the heart.

2 因為我實實在在告訴你們，你們蒙召喚要提高你們的聲音，用號角般的^ａ聲音，對彎曲、悖謬的世代，宣講我的福音。

2 For verily, verily, I say unto you that ye are called to lift up your voices as with the ^asound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and ^bperverse generation.

3 因為看啊，^ａ田地已經白得可以收穫了；這是^ｂ第十一個時辰，也是我^ｃ最後一次召喚工人進我的葡萄園。

3 For behold, the ^afield is ^bwhite already to harvest; and it is the^celeventh hour, and the last time that I shall call ^dlaborers into my vineyard.

4 我的^ａ葡萄園已徹底^ｂ腐敗，^ｃ行善者寥寥無幾；他們由於^ｄ祭司權術而多方^ｅ犯錯，人人心地腐敗。

4 And my ^avineyard has become ^bcorrupted every whit; and there is none which doeth ^cgood save it be a few; and they ^derr in many instances because of ^epriestcrafts, all having corrupt minds.

5 我實實在在告訴你們，我已^ａ建立這^ｂ教會，並從曠野中把這教會召喚出來。

5 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this ^achurch have I^bestablished and called forth out of the ^cwilderness.

6 正如這樣，我也要從^ａ大地四方^ｂ聚集我的選民，即所有相信我並傾聽我聲音的人。

6 And even so will I ^agather mine elect from the ^bfour quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice.

7 是的，我實實在在告訴你們，田地已經白得可以收穫了；因此，揮動你們的鐮刀，盡能、盡意、盡力地收割。

7 Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is ^awhite already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength.

8 ^ａ張開你們的口，你們的口就被充滿，你們就會像古代從耶路撒冷進入曠野的^ｂ尼腓那樣。

8 ^aOpen your mouths and they shall be filled, and you shall become even as ^bNephi of old, who journeyed from Jerusalem in the wilderness.

9 是的，張開你們的口，不要保留，這樣你們背上必滿負^ａ禾捆，因為看啊，我與你們同在。

9 Yea, open your mouths and spare not, and you shall be laden with ^asheaves upon your backs, for lo, I am with you.

10 是的，張開你們的口，你們的口就被充滿，說：悔改，^ａ悔改，你們要預備主的道，修直祂的路；因為天國近了；

10 Yea, open your mouths and they shall be filled, saying: Repent, ^arepent, and prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for the ^bkingdom of heaven is at hand;

11 是的，悔改，並且^ａ受洗；為了你們每個人的罪的赦免；是的，受水的洗禮，然後受火和聖靈的洗禮。

11 Yea, ^arepent and be baptized, every one of you, for a^bremission of your sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.

12 看啊，我實實在在告訴你們，這是我的^ａ福音；並且記住，他們要對我有信心，否則絕不能得救；

12 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my ^agospel; and remember that they shall have faith in me or they can in nowise be saved;

13 我要將我的教會建立在這^ａ磐石上；是的，你們是建立在這磐石上的，如果你們繼續，^ｂ地獄的門必不能勝過你們。

13 And upon this ^arock I will build my church; yea, upon this rock ye are built, and if ye continue, the ^bgates of hell shall not prevail against you.

14 你們要記住並遵守教會的^ａ規章和聖約。

14 And ye shall remember the church ^aarticles and covenants to keep them.

15 凡有信心的，你們要在我教會中，藉^ａ按手禮^ｂ證實，我要授予他們^ｃ聖靈的恩賜。

15 And whoso having faith you shall ^aconfirm in my church, by the laying on of the ^bhands, and I will bestow the ^cgift of the Holy Ghost upon them.

16 摩爾門經和神聖^ａ經文是我給你們的^ｂ指示；我靈的能力使萬物^ｃ有生氣。

16 And the Book of Mormon and the holy scriptures are given of me for your ^ainstruction; and the power of my ^bSpirit ^cquickenethall things.

17 因此，要忠信，一直祈禱，把你們的燈整理好點起來，帶著油，這樣^ａ新郎來的時候你們就準備好了──

17 Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your ^alamps^btrimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ^creadyat the coming of the ^dBridegroom—

18 因為看啊，我實實在在告訴你們，我很快就^ａ來。正如這樣。阿們。

18 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I ^acome quickly. Even so. Amen.
