1“Glad Tidings of Great Joy”

1「大喜的好信息」

2As you record your impressions this week, think about how the principles in Helaman 13–16 build on and reinforce other things you have been learning in the scriptures.

2記錄你在本週得到的靈感啟發時，想想希拉曼書第13～16章中的原則如何支持並強化你在經文中學到的其他事情。

3Record Your Impressions

3記錄靈感啟發

4The first time Samuel the Lamanite tried to share “glad tidings” in Zarahemla (Helaman 13:7), he was rejected and cast out by the hard-hearted Nephites. You might say it was as if they had built an impenetrable wall around their hearts that prevented them from receiving Samuel’s message. Samuel understood the importance of the message he bore and demonstrated faith by following God’s commandment “that he should return again, and prophesy” (Helaman 13:3). Just as Samuel did, we all encounter walls as we “prepare the way of the Lord” (Helaman 14:9) and strive to follow His prophets. And like Samuel, we too bear witness of Jesus Christ, “who surely shall come,” and invite all to “believe on his name” (Helaman 13:6; 14:13). Not everyone will listen, and some may actively oppose us. But those who believe in this message with faith in Christ find that it truly is “glad tidings of great joy” (Helaman 16:14).

4拉曼人撒母耳第一次試著在柴雷罕拉分享「好信息」（希拉曼書13：7）的時候，被心地頑強的尼腓人拒絕並逐出。你或許可以說，他們宛如在心中築起一道無法穿透的城牆，阻擋了他們接受撒母耳的信息。撒母耳了解自己信息的重要性，於是展露信心，遵守神「要他再回去……預言」的命令（希拉曼書13：3）。就像撒母耳一樣，我們在「預備主的道」（希拉曼書14：9），努力跟隨祂的先知時，也都會遇到阻礙的城牆。而和撒母耳一樣，我們也為「那位必來」的耶穌基督作見證，邀請所有的人來「相信祂的名」（希拉曼書13：6；14：13）。並不是每個人都會傾聽，有些人可能還會積極反對我們。但是，相信這個信息並對基督有信心的人，必會發現這確實是「大喜的好信息」（希拉曼書16：14）。

5Helaman 13

5希拉曼書第13章

6The Lord gives warnings through His prophets.

6主透過祂的先知給予警告。

7In the scriptures, prophets are sometimes compared to watchmen on a wall or tower who warn of dangers (see Isaiah 62:6; Ezekiel 33:1–7).

7在經文中，先知有時會被比喻為城牆上或塔上的守望者，在危險時提出警告（見以賽亞書62：6；以西結書33：1-7）。

8President M. Russell Ballard taught: “Through the centuries, prophets have fulfilled their duty when they have warned people of the dangers before them. The Lord’s Apostles are duty bound to watch, warn, and reach out to help those seeking answers to life’s questions” (“God Is at the Helm,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2015, 25).

8羅素·培勒會長教導：「許多世紀以來，眾先知們履行職責，警告人們留意橫亙在他們面前的危險。主的使徒有責任去看顧、警告和伸出援手去幫助那些尋求人生問題解答的人」（「神在掌舵」，2015年11月，利阿賀拿，第25頁）。

9As you study and ponder Helaman 13, you could mark the many warnings that Samuel gave. For example, what did he teach about repentance? about humility and wealth? How might these warnings apply to you? What warnings have modern prophets given recently, and what do you feel you should do about those warnings?

9研讀並沉思希拉曼書第13章時，可以將撒母耳提出的許多警告劃記下來。例如，他對悔改有何教導？對謙卑和財富又有何教導？這些警告如何應用在你身上？現代的先知最近提出哪些警告？你覺得自己應如何看待這些警告？

10The prophet points us to Jesus Christ.

10先知指引我們歸向耶穌基督。

11Helaman 13–15

11希拉曼書第13～15章

12The Lord is merciful to those who repent.

12主對悔改的人是慈悲的。

13Originally, Samuel was sent to the Nephites to share the joyful news of the Savior’s coming (see Helaman 13:7). Because they rejected him, he returned with stern warnings of the judgments of God. But those warnings consistently included a merciful invitation to repent; look for these invitations throughout Helaman 13–15 (see especially Helaman 13:6, 11; 14:15–19; 15:7–8). How do these invitations apply to you? What do you learn from these verses about repentance? When have you experienced the mercy of God that comes from repentance?

13撒母耳原本是被派去尼腓人那裡，分享救主來臨的大喜信息（見希拉曼書13：7），不過他們拒絕了他，所以他又帶了有關神審判的嚴厲警告返回。然而這些警告一直都包含著一項要他們悔改的慈愛邀請；從希拉曼書第13～15章中找出這些有關悔改的邀請（尤其是希拉曼書13：6，11；14：15-19；15：7-8）。這些為什麼也是對你提出的邀請？關於悔改，你從這幾節經文中學到什麼？你曾在何時因悔改而體會到神的慈悲？

14Helaman 14; 16:13–23

14希拉曼書第14章；16：13-23

15Signs and wonders can strengthen the faith of those who do not harden their hearts.

15徵兆和奇蹟能鞏固不硬起心來的人的信心。

16In Helaman 14, Samuel explained the reason the Lord provided signs of the Savior’s birth and death: “To the intent that ye might believe on his name” (Helaman 14:12). As you study Helaman 14, note the signs of the Savior’s birth in verses 1–8 and the signs of His death in verses 20–28. Why do you think these signs would be effective ways to signify the birth and death of Jesus Christ?

16在希拉曼書第14章中，撒母耳解釋了主為何提供救主出生和死亡的徵兆：「目的是使你們相信祂的名」（希拉曼書14：12）。研讀希拉曼書第14章時，注意第1-8節中救主出生的徵兆，以及第20-28節中祂死亡的徵兆。你認為這些徵兆為什麼能有效地預示耶穌基督的出生和死亡？

17Can you think of any signs the Lord has given to help you believe in Him? For instance, prophets have predicted signs that will appear before the Savior’s Second Coming (see “Signs of the Times,” Guide to the Scriptures, scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org). Have any of these signs been fulfilled in our day? Other signs that lead to faith in Jesus Christ may be more personal and less dramatic. Take a moment to ponder ways you have witnessed His hand in your life.

17你能想到主曾給過你哪些徵兆，幫助你相信祂嗎？比方說，先知已預言救主第二次來臨前會出現的徵兆（見「徵兆，時候來到的」，經文指南，scriptures.churchofjesuschrist.org）。是否有任一徵兆已在今日應驗？促成人去相信耶穌基督的其他徵兆，可能更私人、不那麼戲劇性。花些時間沉思你在生活中曾如何見識祂的影響力。

18What caution is given about signs in Helaman 16:13–23? How can you avoid the attitude of the people described in these verses?

18希拉曼書16：13-23提醒我們對徵兆要小心什麼？你要如何避免這幾節經文所述之人的態度？

20Helaman 16

20希拉曼書第16章

21Following the prophet’s counsel brings me closer to the Lord.

21聽從先知的忠告讓我更接近主。

22Elder Neil L. Andersen taught: “I have found that as I prayerfully study the words of the prophet of God and carefully, with patience, spiritually align my will with his inspired teachings, my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ always increases. If we choose to set his counsel aside and determine that we know better, our faith suffers and our eternal perspective is clouded” (“The Prophet of God,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2018, 26–27). How do the words and actions of the Nephites in Helaman 16 confirm what Elder Andersen taught? What personal commitments do you feel you should make regarding the Lord’s prophets and their messages?

22尼爾·安德森長老教導：「我從自己的人生中發現，當我虔敬地研讀主的先知的話，並且謹慎、有耐心，以屬靈的方式使自己的想法與先知受靈啟發的教導一致時，我對主耶穌基督的信心總是會增長。如果我們選擇將先知的忠告擱在一旁，認為自己比較了解狀況，那麼我們的信心會減弱，我們永恆的眼光會變得晦暗不明」（「神的先知」，2018年5月，利阿賀拿，第27頁）。尼腓人在希拉曼書第16章中的所言所行，如何證實了安德森長老的教導所言不假？關於主的先知和他們的信息，你覺得自己應該立下什麼樣的個人承諾？

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：

24Helaman 13:3–4

24希拉曼書13：3-4

25What inspires your family about Samuel’s response to the Lord’s command in Helaman 13:3–4? During your family study this week, perhaps you could encourage family members to share impressions that “come into [their] heart.”

25你的家庭從希拉曼書13：3-4中撒母耳回答主的命令的方式，得到哪些啟發？在這週的家庭研讀中，或許可以鼓勵家人分享「進入〔他們〕心中」的靈感啟發。

26Helaman 13:38

26希拉曼書13：38

27The idea that happiness can be found “in doing iniquity” is common in our day. In what ways has living the gospel brought us true happiness?

27「以作惡」追求幸福的這個觀念，在我們這個時代十分普遍。過福音的生活在哪些方面帶給我們真正的幸福？

28Helaman 15:3

28希拉曼書15：3

29How does God’s correction show His love for us? Invite family members to humbly ask the Lord what they can do to improve.

29神的糾正如何顯明祂對我們的愛？請家人謙卑求問主，他們可以在哪方面改進自己。

30Helaman 15:5–8

30希拉曼書15：5-8

31What do we learn about conversion from the Lamanites described in these verses? How can we follow their example?

31這幾節經文對拉曼人的描述，讓我們對歸信有何認識？我們要如何效法他們的榜樣？

32Helaman 16:1–3

32希拉曼書16：1-3

33Would your family enjoy acting out the story of Samuel the Lamanite? After reading the account, maybe family members could take turns standing on a chair and reading some of Samuel’s prophecies while other family members pretend to shoot arrows or throw stones. This could help your family understand how Samuel and the Nephites may have felt. Young children might also enjoy drawing pictures of the story. How can we be like Samuel and share the gospel with others despite our fears?

33你的家人會喜歡演出拉曼人撒母耳的故事嗎？讀完這則記事後，或許家人可以輪流站在椅子上，讀出撒母耳的一些預言，而其他家人可以假裝射出弓箭或丟石頭。這可以幫助你的家人了解撒母耳和尼腓人當時可能的感受。年幼的孩子可能也會喜歡將這個故事畫出來。我們如何能像撒母耳一樣，不顧害怕地與他人分享福音？

35Improving Personal Study

35改進個人研讀

36Look for patterns. A pattern is a plan or model that can be used as a guide for accomplishing a task. In the scriptures, we find patterns that show how the Lord accomplishes His work, such as sending His servants to warn the people.

36找出模式。模式是一種設計圖或模型，可用來做為完成工作的一個指南。在經文中，我們發現了一些顯示主如何完成祂事工的模式，例如派遣祂的僕人去警告人民。
