1“They Were Called the People of God”

1「他們被稱為神的人民」

2After “the voice of the Lord came to [Alma],” he wrote down the things the Lord told him “that he might have them” (Mosiah 26:14, 33). How will you follow Alma’s example?

2阿爾瑪在「主的聲音臨到他」之後，寫下主告訴他的事，「以便保存」（摩賽亞書26：14，33）。你要如何效法阿爾瑪的榜樣？

4After nearly three generations of living in separate lands, the Nephites were one people again. Limhi’s people, Alma’s people, and Mosiah’s people—even the people of Zarahemla, who were not descended from Nephi—were now all “numbered with the Nephites” (Mosiah 25:13). Many of them also wanted to become members of the Church that Alma had established. So all those who “were desirous to take upon them the name of Christ” were baptized, “and they were called the people of God” (Mosiah 25:23–24). After years of conflict and captivity, it seemed that the Nephites would finally enjoy a period of peace.

4尼腓人在不同的土地上生活將近三代之後，終於又成為一個民族。林海的人民、阿爾瑪的人民，以及摩賽亞的人民——甚至不是尼腓後裔的柴雷罕拉人，此時全都「被算在尼腓人之中」（摩賽亞書25：13）。他們有許多人也希望成為阿爾瑪所建立的教會的成員。因此，凡「渴望承受基督之名」的人都接受了洗禮，「被稱為神的人民」（摩賽亞書25：23-24）。經過多年的衝突和被俘，尼腓人似乎終於可以享受一段和平的日子了。

5But before long, unbelievers began persecuting the Saints. What made this especially heartbreaking was that many of these unbelievers were the believers’ own children—the “rising generation” (Mosiah 26:1), including the sons of Mosiah and one son of Alma. Then a miracle happened, and the account of that miracle has given hope to anguished parents for generations. But the story of Alma’s conversion is not just for parents of wayward children. True conversion is a miracle that, in one way or another, needs to happen in all of us.

5但過沒多久，不信者便開始迫害聖徒。令人特別心碎的是，這些不信者當中有許多人是信徒的孩子，他們「新生的一代」（摩賽亞書26：1），其中包括摩賽亞的兒子們和阿爾瑪的一個兒子。後來，一個奇蹟發生了。有關那個奇蹟的記事，帶給後來世代萬般苦惱的父母希望。不過，阿爾瑪歸信的故事不只是給有迷途子女的父母而已，就某方面而言，我們所有人都需要經歷真正的歸信這項奇蹟。

6Mosiah 26:1–6

6摩賽亞書26：1-6

7I am responsible for my own faith and testimony.

7我要為自己的信心和見證負責。

8Those who heard King Benjamin’s sermon experienced a marvelous conversion (see Mosiah 5:1–7), but conversion is a personal experience that cannot be passed along like an inheritance to one’s children. We all must experience our own conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ. As you read in Mosiah 26:1–6 about “the rising generation” of unbelieving Nephites, note the consequences of their unbelief. You might also think about people whom you wish you could bring to Christ. While you can’t give them your conversion, the Spirit may whisper things you can do to help them find faith. As you read in Mosiah 25–28 about how Alma and other Church members helped the rising generation, additional thoughts might come to you.

8聽到便雅憫王講道的人經歷了奇妙的歸信（見摩賽亞書5：1-7）。不過歸信是個人的經驗，無法像產業一樣傳給自己的孩子。所有人都必須自己歸信耶穌基督的福音。在摩賽亞書26：1-6讀到尼腓人「新生的一代」如何不信時，注意他們的不信帶來什麼後果。你可能也會想到一些你希望能帶來歸向基督的人。雖然你無法把歸信「送給」他們，但聖靈會向你低語，讓你知道可以做什麼事情，來幫助這些人找到信心。你在摩賽亞書第25～28章讀到阿爾瑪和教會其他成員如何幫助新生的一代時，可能會得到其他的想法。

10Mosiah 26:6–39

10摩賽亞書26：6-39

11God’s faithful servants seek to do His will.

11神忠信的僕人尋求按祂的旨意行事。

12Sometimes we might think that a Church leader like Alma always knows the right thing to do. In Mosiah 26 we read of a problem in the Church that Alma had never dealt with, and “he feared that he should do wrong in the sight of God” (Mosiah 26:13). What did Alma do in this situation? (see Mosiah 26:13–14, 33–34, 38–39). What does Alma’s experience suggest about how you might approach difficult problems in your family or your Church service?

12有時候我們可能會認為，像阿爾瑪這樣的教會領袖一定都知道怎麼做才是對的。我們在摩賽亞書第26章讀到教會發生了一個問題，是阿爾瑪從未處理過的，而「他生怕自己做了神看來是不對的事」（摩賽亞書26：13）。阿爾瑪在這樣的情況下做了什麼？（見摩賽亞書26：13-14，33-34，38-39）。阿爾瑪的經驗提示你，在家裡或從事教會服務時，可以如何處理棘手的問題？

13It might also be interesting to list the truths that God revealed to Alma, found in Mosiah 26:15–32. Notice that some of these truths were not in direct response to Alma’s question. What does this suggest to you about prayer and receiving personal revelation?

13將摩賽亞書26：15-32中神啟示給阿爾瑪的真理列出來，或許會很有意思。注意這些真理中有些並不是直接回答阿爾瑪的問題。這一點提示你有關祈禱和獲得個人啟示的哪些事情？

14Mosiah 27:8–37

14摩賽亞書27：8-37

15All men and women must be born again.

15不論男女都必須重生。

16It was obvious that Alma the Younger needed a spiritual rebirth, for he and the sons of Mosiah were “the very vilest of sinners,” who went about “to destroy the church of God” (Mosiah 28:4; 27:10). But soon after his conversion, Alma testified that conversion is available—and essential—for everyone: “Marvel not,” he said, “that all mankind … must be born again” (Mosiah 27:25; italics added). That, of course, includes you.

16小阿爾瑪顯然需要在靈性上重生，因為他和摩賽亞的兒子曾是「罪大惡極的罪人」，到處「破壞神的教會」（摩賽亞書28：4；27：10）。不過，阿爾瑪歸信後不久就見證，每個人都能——也必須——歸信；他說：「不要希奇」，「全人類……都必須重生」（摩賽亞書27：25）。這當然也包括你在內。

17As you read about Alma’s experience, found in Mosiah 27:8–37, you might try putting yourself in his place. You aren’t trying to destroy the Church, but you can surely think of things about yourself that need to change. Who, like Alma’s father, is supporting you and praying for you “with much faith”? What experiences have helped “convince [you] of the power and authority of God”? (Mosiah 27:14). What “great things” has the Lord done for you or your family that you should “remember”? (Mosiah 27:16). What do you learn from Alma the Younger’s words and actions about what it means to be born again? Questions like these might help you evaluate your progress in the process of being born again.

17閱讀摩賽亞書27：8-37中阿爾瑪的經驗時，可以試著設身處地思考他的情況。不是要你試著毀滅教會，而是認真想想自己有哪些地方需要改變。有誰像阿爾瑪的父親一樣，正在支持你，並「用了極大的信心」為你祈禱？有哪些經驗幫助你「信服神的力量和權柄」？（摩賽亞書27：14）。你應該「記住」主為你或你的家庭做的哪些「偉大的事」？（摩賽亞書27：16）。你從小阿爾瑪的言行中學到重生是什麼意思？這類的問題可以幫助你評估自己在重生這個過程中進步的情形。

20Mosiah 27:14, 19–24

20摩賽亞書27：14，19-24

21God hears my prayers and will answer them according to His will.

21神聆聽我的祈禱，也會按照祂的旨意答覆。

22Maybe you know a parent in Alma the Elder’s situation, whose son or daughter is making destructive choices. Or maybe you are that parent. What do you find in Mosiah 27:14, 19–24 that gives you hope? How might these verses influence your prayers in behalf of others?

22或許你認識一位和老阿爾瑪狀況相同的父母，此人的兒子或女兒正做出會帶來毀滅的決定。或者你正是那位父母。你在摩賽亞書27：14，19-24中找到了什麼，讓你有了希望？這幾節經文如何影響你為別人所做的祈禱？

23As 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.

23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：

24Mosiah 25:5–11

24摩賽亞書25：5-11

25How did Mosiah’s people feel after he read to them the records of Zeniff’s people and Alma’s people? Has your family kept any records you could read from? Maybe you could add to your records or start keeping your own. What would you include that might help your family (including future generations) be “filled with exceedingly great joy” and learn about “the immediate goodness of God”? (Mosiah 25:8, 10).

25摩賽亞向他的人民讀完曾倪夫人民和阿爾瑪人民的紀錄後，摩賽亞的人民有什麼感想？你的家庭有沒有保存可供閱讀的任何紀錄？或許你可以補充你們的紀錄，或者開始記寫。你想寫些什麼，來幫助家人（包括未來的世代）在看到時，會「高興極了」並學到關於「直接由神而來的良善」？（摩賽亞書25：8，10）。

26Mosiah 25:16

26摩賽亞書25：16

27Why was it important for Limhi’s people to remember that the Lord had delivered them out of captivity? What has the Lord done for us that we should remember?

27記住主解救他們脫離束縛，為何對林海的人民來說很重要？我們應當記住救主為我們做了哪些事？

28Mosiah 26:29–31; 27:35

28摩賽亞書26：29-31；27：35

29According to these verses, what must a person do to receive forgiveness?

29根據這幾節經文，一個人必須做什麼才能獲得寬恕？

30Mosiah 27:21–24

30摩賽亞書27：21-24

31As you read these verses, consider someone your family could pray and fast for.

31閱讀這幾節經文時，思考你們全家可以為誰禁食祈禱。

32Mosiah 27–28

32摩賽亞書第27～28章

33To help your family visualize the accounts in these chapters, you might invite them to draw pictures of the people involved and use the pictures to retell the story. Or they might enjoy acting out the story; how could they portray the change that Alma and the sons of Mosiah experienced?

33為了幫助家人想像這幾章的故事，你可以請他們將故事人物畫出來，然後再用那些圖片重述故事。他們或許會喜歡演出這個故事；他們要如何演出阿爾瑪和摩賽亞的兒子所經歷的改變？
