1“That Evil May Be Done Away”

1「好讓邪惡的事得以消除」

2Speaking of the Jaredite record, Mormon commented that “it is expedient that all people should know the things which are written in this account” (Mosiah 28:19). Keep this in mind as you read Ether 6–11. Why are these things expedient—or beneficial—to you and your loved ones?

2摩爾門在談到雅列人的紀錄時評論說：「所有的人都應該知道那紀錄中所寫的事」（摩賽亞書28：19）。閱讀以帖書第6～11章時，要記住這件事。這些事為何對你和你所愛的人有所助益？

3Record Your Impressions

3記錄靈感啟發

4Hundreds of years after the Jaredites were destroyed, the Nephites discovered the ruins of their ancient civilization. Among these ruins was a mysterious record—plates of “pure gold” that were “filled with engravings” (Mosiah 8:9). The Nephite king, Limhi, could sense that this record was important: “Doubtless a great mystery is contained within these plates,” he said (Mosiah 8:19). Today you have an abridgment of this record, translated into your language, and it’s called the book of Ether. It comes from the same record that the Nephites “were desirous beyond measure” to read, and when they did, “they were filled with sorrow; nevertheless it gave them much knowledge, in the which they did rejoice” (Mosiah 28:12, 18). As you read about the rise and the tragic fall of the Jaredites, you’ll find many sorrowful moments. But don’t overlook the joy of learning lessons from this history. After all, as Moroni wrote, “it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you” (Ether 8:23), for if we can learn from the failures and the successes of the Jaredites, “evil may be done away, and … the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men” (Ether 8:26).

4雅列人滅亡數百年後，尼腓人發現了他們古老文明的廢墟。在這些廢墟中有一部神祕的紀錄——是用「純金」造的頁片，上頭「刻滿鐫文」（摩賽亞書8：9）。尼腓人國王林海意識到這部紀錄很重要，他說：「這些頁片無疑包含著偉大的奧祕」（摩賽亞書8：19）。今日你有這部紀錄的節錄本，且已翻譯成你的語言，這部紀錄就是以帖書。以帖書出自尼腓人「迫切」想讀的同一部紀錄，而當他們讀的時候，「他們很難過，然而，這記事給了他們許多知識，他們的確因此而快樂」（摩賽亞書28：12，18）。你在閱讀雅列人的興衰過程時，將會發現許許多多令人傷心的時刻，然而也不要輕忽從這歷史學習教訓的喜樂。最重要的，正如摩羅乃所寫的，「這是神的大智要你們知道這些事情」（以帖書8：23），因為我們若能從雅列人的盛衰興敗中學到教訓，那麼「邪惡的事得以消除，……撒但無力控制人類兒女的心……的時候得以來到」（以帖書8：26）。

5Ether 6:1–12

5以帖書6：1-12

6The Lord will lead me toward my promised land.

6主會引導我前往我的應許地。

7You may find spiritual insights if you compare the Jaredites’ voyage across the ocean to your journey through mortality. For example, what has the Lord provided that lights your way like the stones in the Jaredites’ barges? What might the barges represent, or the winds that “blow towards the promised land”? (Ether 6:8). What do you learn from the actions of the Jaredites before, during, and after the voyage? How is the Lord leading you toward your promised land?

7你若將雅列人橫渡大海的航行與自己的塵世之旅作一比較，可能會有不少的靈性體會。例如，主提供了什麼，讓你一路有光照明，就像雅列人的平底船有發光的石頭照明一樣？平底船可能代表什麼？那「往應許地吹」的風（以帖書6：8）可能又代表什麼？你從雅列人航行之前、期間、之後的行動學到什麼？主正如何引導你前往你的應許地？

9Ether 6:5–18, 30; 9:28–35; 10:1–2

9以帖書6：5-18，30；9：28-35；10：1-2

10The Lord blesses me when I am humble.

10只要我謙卑，主就會祝福我。

11Although pride and wickedness seem to dominate Jaredite history, there are also examples of humility in these chapters—especially in Ether 6:5–18, 30; 9:28–35; and 10:1–2. Pondering the following questions could help you learn from these examples: Why did these Jaredites humble themselves in these situations? What did they do to show their humility? How were they blessed as a result? Notice that in some cases, the people were compelled by their circumstances to be humble. Consider what you can do to willingly “walk humbly before the Lord” (Ether 6:17) rather than be compelled to be humble (see Mosiah 4:11–12; Alma 32:14–18).

11雖然驕傲和邪惡似乎貫穿雅列人的整個歷史，但在以下這幾章還是有謙卑的例子，尤其是以帖書6：5-18，30；9：28-35；10：1-2。沉思以下問題可以幫助你從這些例子中學習：這些雅列人為何在遇到這些情況時謙抑自己？他們做了什麼來表示謙卑？結果他們如何蒙受祝福？注意在一些例子中，人民是因環境而被迫謙卑。思考你可以做什麼，自願「謙卑地行走在主前」（以帖書6：17），而非被迫謙卑（見摩賽亞書4：11-12；阿爾瑪書32：14-18）。

13Ether 7–11

13以帖書第7～11章

14Righteous leaders bless the people they lead.

14正義的領袖會使他們帶領的人民蒙受祝福。

15Chapters 7–11 of Ether cover at least 28 generations. Although not much detail can be given in such little space, a pattern quickly emerges: righteous leadership leads to blessings and prosperity, while wicked leadership leads to captivity and destruction.

15以帖書第7～11章涵蓋了至少28個世代。雖然頁片篇幅有限，無法提供太多細節，但是我們很快就看出一個模式：正義的領導帶來祝福和昌盛，邪惡的領導帶來囚禁和毀滅。

16Below are just a few of the kings mentioned in these chapters. Read the associated verses, and see what you can learn from their examples—positive and negative—about leadership. As you do, think about opportunities you might have to lead or influence others in your home, your community, your Church calling, and so on.

16以下是這幾章中提到的幾位國王。閱讀相關章節，看看可從他們的榜樣——好壞皆然——學到哪些關於領導的事。進行這個活動時，思考你可能會有哪些機會領導，或在自己家裡、社區及教會召喚等等，對他人產生影響。

28What is a secret combination?

28何謂祕密幫派？

29When two or more people conspire to keep their wicked acts secret, they are involved in a secret combination. They are often motivated by the desire for power or riches. In addition to the secret combination described in Ether 8:7–18, other examples can be found in Helaman 1:9–12; 2:2–11; 6:16–30; and Moses 5:29–33. In Ether 8:18–26, Moroni describes the consequences of secret combinations (see also Ether 9:4–12) and warns us not to support them.

29兩人以上共謀不洩漏他們的惡行時，就是涉及祕密幫派了。他們渴望權力或財富，經常受其驅使。除了以帖書8：7-18描述的祕密幫派以外，也可在以下經文找到其他例子：希拉曼書1：9-12；2：2-11；6：16-30；摩西書5：29-33。摩羅乃在以帖書8：18-26中描述了祕密幫派的下場（亦見以帖書9：4-12），並警告我們不要支持他們。

30As 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.

30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：

31Ether 6:2–12

31以帖書6：2-12

32Would your family enjoy acting out the Jaredites’ voyage to the promised land? Maybe you could use a dark room as a barge and flashlights to represent the shining stones. You could talk about how the Jaredites showed their faith in the Lord by getting in the barges, despite knowing that they would be “buried in the depths of the sea” (Ether 6:6). After reading verse 9, family members could share favorite hymns of praise and sing them together. How can our homes be compared to the Jaredites’ barges? What is the promised land the Lord is leading our family toward?

32你的家人會喜歡演出雅列人航海到應許地的故事嗎？或許你可以用一間光線暗的房間作為平底船，用手電筒代表發光的石頭。然後談談雅列人明知他們會「沉入深海裡」（以帖書6：6），仍然進入平底船中，藉此表明他們對主的信心。讀完第9節後，家人可以分享他們最喜歡的讚美詩歌，然後一起合唱。我們的家在哪方面可比作雅列人的平底船？主正引導我們家庭前往哪個應許地？

33Ether 6:22–23

33以帖書6：22-23

34Throughout this week, your family could watch for how the brother of Jared’s prophetic warning about captivity was fulfilled. What warnings have our Church leaders given us? In what ways could dismissing their counsel lead to captivity?

34你的家庭可以在這一整週中留意雅列的哥哥這位先知，對於囚禁給予的警告如何應驗。我們的教會領袖給過我們什麼警告？不聽他們的勸告會導致怎樣的囚禁？

35Ether 8:23–26

35以帖書8：23-26

36According to these verses, why was Moroni commanded to write “these things” about secret combinations? (Ether 8:23). What have we learned from the book of Ether that can help us obtain the blessings described in verse 26?

36根據這幾節經文，神為何命令摩羅乃要將祕密幫派的「這些事情」（以帖書8：23）寫下來？我們從以帖書學到哪些事，可助我們獲得第26節所述的祝福？

37Ether 9:11

37以帖書9：11

38How do our desires affect our choices? What can we do as a family to ensure that we desire the things of God?

38我們的渴望如何影響我們的選擇？我們全家可以做什麼，確保我們渴望屬神的事？

39Ether 11:8

39以帖書11：8

40To learn more about the Lord’s mercy to those who repent, you could read Mosiah 26:29–30; 29:18–20; Alma 34:14–16; or Moroni 6:8. Perhaps family members could share examples of God’s mercy from the scriptures or from their own lives.

40若要更加了解主對悔改之人的慈悲，可閱讀摩賽亞書26：29-30；29：18-20；阿爾瑪書34：14-16；或摩羅乃書6：8。或許家人可以分享經文或自己的生活中神展現慈悲的例子。

42Improving Personal Study

42改進個人研讀

43Act on what you learn. Gospel learning includes more than reading and pondering. We often learn the most by acting on the truths in the scriptures (see John 7:17). What will you do to apply what you read in Ether 6–11?

43根據所學採取行動。福音學習不光只有閱讀和沉思，按照經文的真理採取行動，通常能讓我們學習最多（見約翰福音7：17）。你會如何應用在以帖書第6～11章所讀的內容？
