1“I Will Prepare the Way before You”

1「我必在你們面前預備道路」

2As you study 1 Nephi 16–22, look for passages that impress you. Some people like to highlight such verses in their scriptures; others write notes in the margins. Consider how you will record the impressions you receive.

2研讀尼腓一書第16～22章時，找出讓你印象深刻的經文章節。有些人喜歡在自己的經文上劃記這些經文，有些人則喜歡將筆記寫在經文的空白處。思考你要如何將得到的靈感啟發記錄下來。

4As Lehi’s family journeyed toward the promised land, the Lord made them this promise: “I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments” (1 Nephi 17:13). Clearly, that promise did not mean that the journey would be easy—family members still disagreed, bows broke, and people struggled and died, and they still had to build a ship from raw materials. However, when the family faced adversity or seemingly impossible tasks, Nephi recognized that the Lord was never far away. He knew that God “doth nourish [the faithful], and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them” (1 Nephi 17:3). If you ever wonder why bad things happen to good people like Nephi and his family, you may find insights in these chapters. But perhaps more important, you will see what good people do when bad things happen.

4李海的家庭往應許地前進時，主賜給他們這個應許：「如果你們遵守我的誡命，我必在你們前面預備道路」（尼腓一書17：13）。蒙得那樣的應許不代表那會是一趟輕鬆的旅程——他們的家人依舊不和，弓照樣斷，人民會受苦、會死亡，而且他們仍然必須找材料造船。然而，這個家庭在面對苦難或看似不可能達成的任務時，尼腓領悟到主從未遠離他們。他知道神「必滋養〔忠信的人〕，加強他們，並提供方法，使他們能完成祂命令的事」（尼腓一書17：3）。如果你曾納悶為何壞事會發生在尼腓和他家庭這樣的好人身上，你可以從這幾章中找到一些見解。不過或許更重要的是，你會看見壞事發生的時候，好人會做什麼。

51 Nephi 16–18

5尼腓一書第16～18章

6When I keep the commandments, God will help me face challenges.

6只要我遵守誡命，神必幫助我面對挑戰。

7Chapters 16–18 of 1 Nephi describe several challenges that Nephi’s family faced, including dealing with a broken bow (see 1 Nephi 16:17–32), the death of Ishmael (see 1 Nephi 16:34–39), building a ship (see 1 Nephi 17:7–16; 18:1–4), and family discord (see 1 Nephi 18:9–22). How did Nephi’s responses to these challenges differ from the responses of some of his family members? What were the consequences of these responses?

7尼腓一書第16～18章描述尼腓家庭面對的數個挑戰，其中包括斷弓事件（見尼腓一書16：17-32），以實瑪利過世（見尼腓一書16：34-39），造船（見尼腓一書17：7-16；18：1-4），以及家人不和（見尼腓一書18：9-22）。尼腓回應這些挑戰的方式，如何不同於他某些家人的回應？這些回應造成什麼結果？

8It might help to record what you find in a table with headings like these: “Challenge,” “Nephi’s Response,” “Others’ Responses,” and “Results.” Why do you think Nephi was able to remain so faithful when others did not? Reflect on how the example of Nephi and his family can help you with your challenges.

8用表格記下發現的內容可能會有所幫助；表格裡可以有如下的標題：「挑戰」、「尼腓的回應」、「其他人的回應」，以及「結果」。你認為為什麼尼腓能保持如此的忠信，其他人卻不能？思考尼腓和他家庭的榜樣如何能幫助你面對挑戰。

101 Nephi 16:10–16, 23–31; 18:11–22

10尼腓一書16：10-16，23-31；18：11-22

11The Lord guides me through small and simple means.

11主藉著微小而簡單的方式引導我。

12When God led Lehi’s family into the wilderness, He did not provide them with a detailed travel plan to the promised land. But He did give Lehi the Liahona to guide his family daily toward their destination. What has Heavenly Father given you to provide guidance and direction? What do you think it means that “by small means the Lord can bring about great things”? (1 Nephi 16:29).

12神帶領李海的家庭進入曠野時，並沒有給他們到應許地的詳細旅行計畫。不過，他給了李海利阿賀拿，每天引導他們一家往目的地前進。天父已賜給你哪些東西來引導你，給你方向？你認為，「主能藉著微小的方法，促成偉大的事情」（尼腓一書16：29）這句話是什麼意思？

13As you read 1 Nephi 16:10–16, 23–31 and 18:11–22, consider making a list of principles that illustrate how God guides His children (for example, 1 Nephi 16:10 can teach that God sometimes guides us in unexpected ways). What experiences have you had with these principles?

13閱讀尼腓一書16：10-16，23-31和18：11-22時，可以把能說明神如何引導祂的兒女的原則列出來（例如，尼腓一書16：10教導我們，神有時會用令人意想不到的方式引導我們）。你有哪些體驗過這些原則的經驗？

161 Nephi 19:23–24; 20–22

16尼腓一書19：23-24；第20～22章

17I can “liken all scriptures” to myself.

17我可以「把所有經文都比作」對我自己說的。

18Isaiah wrote to all the children of Israel, and Nephi saw that this included his own family specifically—and it includes you (see 1 Nephi 19:23–24). Regarding Nephi’s quotations of Isaiah, President Henry B. Eyring said, “I read Isaiah’s words … assuming Nephi picked the parts of Isaiah that I, without worrying about the imagery, could take directly to my heart as if the Lord were speaking to me” (“The Book of Mormon Will Change Your Life,” Ensign, Feb. 2004, 10).

18以賽亞所寫的事情是寫給整個以色列兒女的，尼腓知道這明確地包括他自己的家庭——也包括你（見尼腓一書19：23-24）。關於尼腓引述以賽亞的話，亨利·艾寧會長說：「我把以賽亞的那些話……讀一遍，我認為尼腓所選擇的這些以賽亞書的部分，都能直接深入我心，就像主親自對我說話一樣，而不用擔心意象的問題」（參閱「摩爾門經會使你的一生改觀」，2004年2月，聖徒之聲，第14頁）。

19With President Eyring’s words in mind, consider questions like the following as you read chapters 20–22:

19閱讀第20～22章時，記得艾寧會長的話，並思考以下的問題：

20What phrases in these verses describe the children of Israel? How do they describe Laman and Lemuel? What warnings and application do you find for yourself?

20這幾節經文用了哪些詞句形容以色列的兒女？這些經文如何形容拉曼和雷米爾？你發現哪些警告是給你的？如何適用在你身上？

21How did the Lord lead the children of Israel? How did He lead Lehi’s family? How does He guide you?

21主如何帶領以色列的兒女？祂如何帶領李海一家人？祂又如何引導你？

22What else do you find in 1 Nephi 20–22 that makes you feel as if the Lord were speaking to you? How does Nephi’s commentary in chapter 22 help you understand Isaiah’s prophecies?

22你在尼腓一書第20～22章還發現哪些事情，讓你覺得好像主是在對你說話？尼腓在第22章中的解釋如何幫助你了解以賽亞的預言？

231 Nephi 21

23尼腓一書第21章

24Who are the house of Israel and the Gentiles?

24以色列家族和外邦人是指誰？

25The house of Israel are the descendants of the Old Testament prophet Jacob, who was given the name Israel by the Lord (see Genesis 32:28; 35:10; see also Bible Dictionary, “Israel”). The Lord made certain covenants with Israel, and his descendants were considered God’s covenant people. However, generations later, many of them turned away from the Lord and were eventually scattered across the earth.

25以色列家族是舊約先知雅各的後裔；主將以色列這個名字賜給雅各（見創世記32：28；35：10；亦見經文指南，「以色列」）。主與以色列訂立特定的聖約，他的後裔於是被視為神的約民。不過，幾個世代之後，他們當中有許多人背離了主，最後被分散到世界各地。

26The term Gentiles in these passages refers to people that do not yet have the gospel (see Bible Dictionary, “Gentile”). Isaiah taught that in the latter days the Gentiles would be given the gospel and be instrumental in teaching and gathering the house of Israel (see 1 Nephi 21:22; 22:8–12; see also Isaiah 60; 66:18–20).

26在這段經文章節裡的外邦人一詞，指的是尚未擁有福音的人（見經文指南，「外邦人」）。以賽亞教導，在後期時代，外邦人將被賜予福音，成為教導和聚集以色列家族的工具（見尼腓一書21：22；22：8-12；亦見以賽亞書第60章；66：18-20）。

27As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family. Here are some ideas.

27你和家人一起閱讀經文時，聖靈會幫助你知道該強調並討論哪些原則，以符合家庭的需求。以下是一些建議：

281 Nephi 17:1–6, 17–22

28尼腓一書17：1-6，17-22

29Perhaps your family could contrast Nephi’s account of traveling in the wilderness (see 1 Nephi 17:1–6) with his brothers’ account (see 1 Nephi 17:17–22). Why do you think they saw the same events so differently? What can we learn from Nephi about having a faithful perspective?

29或許你的家庭可以將尼腓在曠野中旅行的記事（見尼腓一書17：1-6）和他哥哥們的記事（見尼腓一書17：17-22）作個對比。你認為為什麼他們對同樣事情的看法會如此不同？我們可以如何向尼腓學習，用忠於福音的觀點來看事情？

301 Nephi 17:17–22; 18:9–16

30尼腓一書17：17-22；18：9-16

31What are the consequences of jealousy, contention, and complaining in a family? How can we overcome these problems?

31家裡若有嫉妒、紛爭和抱怨，會造成哪些結果？我們要如何克服這些問題？

321 Nephi 19:22–24

32尼腓一書19：22-24

33Nephi likened the scriptures to his family “that it might be for [their] profit and learning” (1 Nephi 19:23). There are several stories in 1 Nephi 16–18 that your family could liken to yourselves. Maybe you could act out one of these stories and discuss how it applies to your family.

33尼腓把經文比作對他的家庭說的，「好使〔他們〕得到益處和知識」（尼腓一書19：23）。尼腓一書第16～18章中有數個故事，都可以比作對你自己的家庭說的。或許你們可以演出其中一個故事，並討論這個故事如何能應用在你們家中。

341 Nephi 21:14–16

34尼腓一書21：14-16

35How might the message in these verses help someone who feels forgotten?

35這幾節經文中的信息如何幫助某個覺得自己被人遺忘的人？

38Ask the Lord for help. The scriptures were given by revelation, and we need revelation to truly understand them. The Lord has promised, “If ye will … ask me in faith, … surely these things shall be made known unto you” (1 Nephi 15:11).

38祈求主的幫助。經文是透過啟示賜予的，因此我們需要啟示才能真正理解經文。主已應許，「如果你們……用信心求問我，……這些事必向你們顯明」（尼腓一書15：11）。
