第八十三篇

Section 83

一八三二年四月三十日，於密蘇里，獨立城，透過先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的啟示〔教會史，1:269–270〕。先知與弟兄們舉行議會時，獲得本啟示。

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Independence, Missouri, 30 April 1832 (see History of the Church, 1:269–70). This revelation was received as the Prophet sat in council with his brethren.

1–4，婦女和小孩有權要求丈夫和父親供養；5–6，寡婦和孤兒有權要求教會供養。

1–4, Women and children have claim upon their husbands and fathers for their support; 5–6, Widows and orphans have claim upon the Church for their support.

1 主實在這樣說，教會有關婦女和孩子的律法要加上那些屬於教會，而^ａ失去了丈夫或父親的婦女和孩子：

1 Verily, thus saith the Lord, in addition to the ^alaws of the church concerning women and children, those who belong to the church, who have ^blost their husbands or fathers:

2 婦女^ａ有權要求丈夫撫養，直到丈夫被取走；她們若沒有犯罪，在教會中就有教友的身分。

2 ^aWomen have ^bclaim on their husbands for their maintenance, until their ^chusbands are taken; and if they are not found transgressors they shall have fellowship in the church.

3 她們若不忠信，在教會中就沒有教友身分；但是她們仍然可以按當地法律，留在她們的繼承產業上。

3 And if they are not faithful they shall not have fellowship in the church; yet they may remain upon their inheritances according to the laws of the land.

4 所有的^ａ小孩都有權要求父母撫養，直到法定年齡。

4 All ^achildren have claim upon their ^bparents for their^cmaintenance until they are of age.

5 在那之後，他們的父母如果沒有什麼可以給他們作繼承產業，他們有權向教會，換句話說，向主的^ａ倉庫要求。

5 And after that, they have ^aclaim upon the church, or in other words upon the Lord’s ^bstorehouse, if their parents have not wherewith to give them inheritances.

6 而倉庫要由教友的獻納來維持；^ａ寡婦和孤兒應該得到供養，^ｂ窮人也一樣。阿們。

6 And the storehouse shall be kept by the consecrations of the church; and ^awidows and orphans shall be provided for, as also the ^bpoor. Amen.
