第三十九篇

Section 39

一八三一年一月五日，在紐約，菲也特，透過先知約瑟 • 斯密給予雅各 • 柯偉的啟示〔教會史，1:143–145〕。雅各 • 柯偉曾任浸信會牧師約四十年，他與主立約，願意服從主透過先知約瑟給予他的任何命令。

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet to James Covill, at Fayette, New York, 5 January 1831 (see History of the Church, 1:143–45). James Covill, who had been a Baptist minister for about forty years, covenanted with the Lord that he would obey any command that the Lord would give to him through Joseph the Prophet.

1–4，聖徒有能力成為神的兒子；5–6，接受福音就是接受基督；7–14，命令雅各 • 柯偉受洗，並在主的葡萄園中工作；15–21，主的僕人要在第二次來臨前宣講福音；22–24，凡接受福音的會在今生和永恆聚集。

1–4, The Saints have power to become the sons of God; 5–6, To receive the gospel is to receive Christ; 7–14, James Covill is commanded to be baptized and labor in the Lord’s vineyard; 15–21, The Lord’s servants are to preach the gospel before the Second Coming; 22–24, Those who receive the gospel will be gathered in time and in eternity.

1 聽著並聆聽從全^ａ永恆到全永恆，偉大而^ｂ自有永有者，耶穌基督的聲音──

1 Hearken and listen to the voice of him who is from all ^aeternityto all eternity, the Great ^bI Am, even Jesus Christ—

2 是世上的^ａ光和生命；是照在黑暗裡的光，黑暗卻不了解光；

2 The ^alight and the life of the world; a light which shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not;

3 我就是在^ａ全盛時期到自己的地方來，自己的人卻不接受的那位；

3 The same which came in the ^ameridian of time unto mine own, and mine own ^breceived me not;

4 但是凡接受我的，我已給他們能力成為我的^ａ兒子；同樣，凡將來接受我的，我也要給他們能力，使他們成為我的兒子。

4 But to as many as received me, gave I power to become my^asons; and even so will I give unto as many as will receive me, power to become my sons.

5 我實實在在告訴你，凡接受我福音的，就是^ａ接受我；凡不接受我福音的，就是不接受我。

5 And verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth my gospel^areceiveth me; and he that ^breceiveth not my gospel receiveth not me.

6 這是我的^ａ福音──悔改和水的洗禮，然後是^ｂ火與聖靈的洗禮；聖靈就是保惠師，顯示萬事並^ｃ教導國度中令人平安的事。

6 And this is my ^agospel—repentance and baptism by water, and then cometh the ^bbaptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, even the Comforter, which showeth all things, and ^cteacheth the peaceable things of the kingdom.

7 現在，看啊，我的僕人^ａ雅各，我告訴你，我已看見你的行為，我知道你。

7 And now, behold, I say unto you, my servant ^aJames, I have looked upon thy works and I ^bknow thee.

8 我實在告訴你，現在你的心在我面前是正義的；而且，看啊，我已賜極大的祝福在你頭上；

8 And verily I say unto thee, thine heart is now right before me at this time; and, behold, I have bestowed great ^ablessings upon thy head;

9 然而，你已歷經極大的痛苦，因為驕傲和屬^ａ世的顧慮，你多次拒絕我。

9 Nevertheless, thou hast seen great ^asorrow, for thou hast^brejected me many times because of pride and the cares of the^cworld.

10 但是，看啊，如果你願意傾聽我的聲音，你得救的日子就到了；那聲音對你說：起來，去^ａ受洗，洗掉你的罪，呼求我的名，你將得到我的靈和你從來不知道的極大祝福。

10 But, behold, the days of thy ^adeliverance are come, if thou wilt^bhearken to my voice, which saith unto thee: Arise and be baptized, and ^cwash away your sins, calling on my name, and you shall receive my Spirit, and a blessing so great as you never have known.

11 如果你這樣做，我已預備你去做更大的工作。你要宣講我在這末世所傳的圓滿福音，及我為^ａ恢復我以色列家族的子民所傳的聖約。

11 And if thou do this, I have prepared thee for a greater work. Thou shalt preach the ^afulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth in these last days, the ^bcovenant which I have sent forth to^crecover my people, which are of the house of Israel.

12 事情將是這樣，能力將^ａ落在你身上；你將有極大的信心，我必與你同在並走在你前面。

12 And it shall come to pass that power shall ^arest upon thee; thou shalt have great faith, and I will be with thee and go before thy face.

13 你蒙召喚^ａ在我葡萄園工作，建立我的教會，^ｂ興起錫安，使其能在山上快樂^ｃ繁榮。

13 Thou art called to ^alabor in my vineyard, and to ^bbuild up my^cchurch, and to bring forth ^dZion, that it may rejoice upon the hills and ^eflourish.

14 看啊，我實實在在告訴你，你不是被召喚到東部地區，而是被召喚到俄亥俄。

14 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou art not called to go into the eastern countries, but thou art called to go to the Ohio.

15 只要我的人民在俄亥俄聚集，我已儲藏了不為人類兒女所知的^ａ祝福，那祝福將傾倒在他們頭上。眾人將從那裡出發，到^ｂ各^ｃ國去。

15 And inasmuch as my people shall assemble themselves at the Ohio, I have kept in store a ^ablessing such as is not known among the children of men, and it shall be poured forth upon their heads. And from thence men shall go forth into ^ball ^cnations.

16 看啊，我實實在在告訴你，俄亥俄的人用極大信心呼求我，以為我會住手，不懲罰各國，但我不能食言。

16 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the people in Ohio call upon me in much faith, thinking I will ^astay my hand in judgment upon the nations, but I cannot ^bdeny my word.

17 因此，開始盡全力召集忠信的工人到我的葡萄園，進行最後一次^ａ修剪。

17 Wherefore lay to with your might and call faithful laborers into my vineyard, that it may be ^apruned for the last time.

18 只要他們悔改並接受我圓滿的福音而聖化，我就會住手，不^ａ懲罰他們。

18 And inasmuch as they do repent and receive the fulness of my gospel, and become sanctified, I will stay mine hand in^ajudgment.

19 因此，去吧！高聲呼喊，說：天國近了；呼喊：和散那！至高之神的名是應當稱頌的。

19 Wherefore, go forth, crying with a loud voice, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at ^ahand; crying: Hosanna! blessed be the name of the Most High God.

20 去用水施洗，為我^ａ來臨的時候在我前面預備道路；

20 Go forth ^abaptizing with water, preparing the way before my face for the time of my ^bcoming;

21 因為時候近了，那^ａ日子、那時辰沒有人^ｂ知道；但一定會來到。

21 For the time is at hand; the ^aday or the hour no man^bknoweth; but it surely shall ^ccome.

22 凡接受這些事的就是接受我；他們會在今生和永恆聚集到我這裡來。

22 And he that receiveth these things receiveth me; and they shall be ^agathered unto me in time and in eternity.

23 再者，事情將是這樣，凡你們用水施洗的人，你們要^ａ按手在他們頭上，他們將接受^ｂ聖靈的恩賜，將^ｃ盼望我^ｄ來臨的徵兆，也將知道我。

23 And again, it shall come to pass that on as many as ye shall baptize with water, ye shall lay your ^ahands, and they shall receive the ^bgift of the Holy Ghost, and shall be ^clooking forth for the signs of my ^dcoming, and shall know me.

24 看啊，我很快就來。正如這樣。阿們。

24 Behold, I come quickly. Even so. Amen.
