第六十六篇

Section 66

一八三一年十月二十五日，在俄亥俄，橘郡，透過先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的啟示〔教會史，1:219–221〕。當時為一個重要大會的第一天。先知在本啟示的序言中寫到：「在威廉 • 麥勒林請求下，我求問主而蒙得以下啟示」〔教會史，1:220〕。

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Orange, Ohio, 25 October 1831 (see History of the Church, 1:219–21). This was the first day of an important conference. In prefacing this revelation, the Prophet wrote, “At the request of William E. McLellin, I inquired of the Lord, and received the following” (History of the Church, 1:220).

1–4，永約是圓滿的福音；5–8，長老們要傳道，作見證，並且和人民論理；9–13，忠信的事奉服務確保永生的繼承產業。

1–4, The everlasting covenant is the fulness of the gospel; 5–8, Elders are to preach, testify, and reason with the people; 9–13, Faithful ministerial service ensures an inheritance of eternal life.

1 看啊，主對我僕人威廉 • 麥勒林這樣說──你有福了，只要你離開了罪惡，接受我的真理，主，你的救贖主，世界的救主，即所有^ａ相信我名的人的救主說。

1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto my servant ^aWilliam E. McLellin—Blessed are you, inasmuch as you have ^bturned away from your iniquities, and have received my truths, saith the Lord your Redeemer, the ^cSavior of the world, even of as many as believe on my name.

2 我實在告訴你，你有福了，因為你接受我的^ａ永約，即我圓滿的福音，那是傳給人類兒女的，使他們能得著^ｂ生命，並成為那將在末世顯示的榮耀的領受者，正如古代先知和使徒所寫的那樣。

2 Verily I say unto you, blessed are you for receiving mine^aeverlasting covenant, even the fulness of my gospel, sent forth unto the children of men, that they might have ^blife and be made^cpartakers of the ^dglories which are to be revealed in the last days, as it was written by the prophets and apostles in days of old.

3 我實在告訴你，我僕人威廉，你是潔淨的，但並不完全潔淨；因此，要悔改我眼中不喜悅的事，主說，主會向你^ａ顯明那些事。

3 Verily I say unto you, my servant William, that you are clean, but not ^aall; repent, therefore, of those things which are not pleasing in my sight, saith the Lord, for the Lord will ^bshow them unto you.

4 現在，實在的，我，主，要向你顯明我對你的期望，或說，我對你的旨意。

4 And now, verily, I, the Lord, will show unto you what I ^awillconcerning you, or what is my will concerning you.

5 看啊，我實在告訴你，我的旨意是要你一地一地、一城一城去^ａ傳播我的福音，是的，在福音還沒有傳到的地區中傳福音。

5 Behold, verily I say unto you, that it is my will that you should^aproclaim my gospel from land to land, and from ^bcity to city, yea, in those regions round about where it has not been proclaimed.

6 不要在此地停留多日；還不要到錫安地去；但是你能送多少，就送多少；否則，不要顧念你的財產。

6 Tarry not many days in this place; go ^anot up unto the land of Zion as yet; but inasmuch as you can ^bsend, send; otherwise, think not of thy property.

7 ^ａ到東部各地去，在每個地方，向每個人作^ｂ見證，並在他們會堂裡與人論理。

7 ^aGo unto the eastern lands, bear ^btestimony in every place, unto every people and in their ^csynagogues, reasoning with the people.

8 我僕人撒母耳 • 斯密要跟你去，不要離棄他，要給他你的指示；忠信者在任何地方都會成為^ａ堅強；我，主，會與你們同行。

8 Let my servant Samuel H. Smith go with you, and forsake him not, and give him thine instructions; and he that is ^afaithful shall be made ^bstrong in every place; and I, the Lord, will go with you.

9 你們按^ａ手在病人頭上，他們就會^ｂ康復。在我，主，差遣你們之前，不要回來。在苦難中要忍耐。^ｃ祈求，你們就得到；叩門，就給你們開門。

9 Lay your ^ahands upon the ^bsick, and they shall ^crecover. Return not till I, the Lord, shall send you. Be patient in affliction. ^dAsk, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

10 設法不被拖累。要拋棄一切不義。不可^ａ姦淫──這是曾困擾你的誘惑。

10 Seek not to be ^acumbered. Forsake all ^bunrighteousness. Commit not ^cadultery—a temptation with which thou hast been troubled.

11 要^ａ遵守這些教訓，這些教訓真實而可靠；要光大你的職務，並敦促許多人去^ｂ錫安，在他們頭上有永恆快樂之^ｃ歌。

11 ^aKeep these sayings, for they are true and ^bfaithful; and thou shalt ^cmagnify thine office, and push many people to ^dZion with^esongs of everlasting joy upon their heads.

12 要^ａ繼續做這些事，一直到底，你將在我父的右邊獲得永生的^ｂ冠冕，祂充滿恩典與真理。

12 ^aContinue in these things even unto the end, and you shall have a ^bcrown of eternal life at the right hand of my Father, who is full of ^cgrace and truth.

13 實在的，主，你的^ａ神，你的救贖主，即耶穌基督這樣說。阿們。

13 Verily, thus saith the Lord your ^aGod, your Redeemer, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
