5The Lord has commanded us to forgive others.

5主命令我們要寬恕別人。

6He will help us to keep His commandments, including this one.

6祂會幫助我們遵守祂的誡命，包括這項誡命。

7Doctrine and Covenants 64:10

7教義和聖約64：10

8Do some commandments seem harder to keep than others?

8有些誡命是否看起來比其他誡命更難遵守？

9Here’s one that intimidates a lot of people: “I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men” (Doctrine and Covenants 64:10). 文法解析

9這裡有一項誡命就讓許多人感到退卻：「我，主，寬恕我要寬恕的人，但是你們必須寬恕所有的人」（教義和聖約64：10）。

10Wait.

10等等。

11We have to forgive everybody who has wronged us?

11我們需要寬恕所有錯待我們的人？

12Is that even possible?!

12這有可能嗎？！

13It’s one thing to forgive somebody for saying something rude to you or for taking the last roll on the dinner table.

13要原諒對你說話不禮貌，或拿走餐桌上最後一個麵包的人可能還比較容易。

14-23

14But what about the deep wounds?

14但若是很深的傷口該怎麼辦？

15Those serious offenses that can disrupt or even change the course of our lives?

15還有那些可能打亂或甚至嚴重到改變我們人生道路的罪行，又該怎麼辦？

16Sometimes the ability to forgive somebody who has hurt us terribly can feel beyond our reach.

16有時候，要去寬恕那些嚴重傷害我們的人，似乎超出我們的能力範圍。

17Here’s the good news: With the help of Jesus Christ, we are never limited to what we can do on our own.

17好消息是，有了耶穌基督的幫助，我們永遠不必受限於自己能力可及的事。

18The Help She Needed

18她需要的幫助

19A devout Christian from the Netherlands named Corrie ten Boom found out firsthand the power of asking God to help her forgive someone.

19一位來自荷蘭的虔誠基督徒柯麗·彭，親身體驗到祈求神幫助自己寬恕他人而獲得的力量。

20She and her sister Betsy had been imprisoned in concentration camps during World War II.

20柯麗和姊姊蓓西在二次大戰期間被監禁在集中營裡。

21Corrie and others endured horrible abuse from the Nazi prison guards.

21柯麗和其他人因納粹守衛的恐怖虐待而飽受折磨。

22Her sister Betsy even died as a result of that abuse.

22姊姊蓓西甚至因虐待致死，

23Corrie survived.

23但柯麗活下來了。

24-31

24After the war, Corrie discovered the healing power of forgiving others.

24戰後，柯麗找到了寬恕他人的醫治力量。

25She often shared her message in public settings.

25她時常在公共場合分享這份信息。

26Yet one day her words were put to the ultimate test.

26但有一天，她所說的話受到了嚴峻的考驗。

27Following a public speech, Corrie was approached by one of the cruelest prison guards from the camps.

27在一場公開演說後，有人來見柯麗，是集中營裡最殘酷的守衛之一。

28He told Corrie that he’d become a Christian since the war and had repented of the terrible things he’d done as a prison guard.

28他告訴柯麗，他在戰後成了基督徒，悔改了他以前身為守衛所犯下的可怕罪行。

29He held his hand out and said, “Will you forgive me?”

29他伸出手來問道：「你願意原諒我嗎？」

30Despite all she’d learned and shared about forgiving others, Corrie couldn’t accept this particular man’s hand and forgive him—not on her own, anyway.

30儘管她所學習並分享過關於寬恕他人的一切事情，柯麗還是無法握住這人的手並寬恕他——至少無法憑她自己做到。

31She later wrote, “Even as the angry, vengeful thoughts boiled through me, I saw the sin of them.

31她後來寫道：「就在我滿腔憤怒，報復的念頭煎熬著我的當下，我看到自己懷著復仇的罪。

32-41

32… Lord Jesus, I prayed, forgive me and help me to forgive him.

32……我心裡祈求著：主耶穌，請寬恕我，幫助我原諒他。

33“I tried to smile, [and] I struggled to raise my hand.

33「我試著微笑，掙扎著想舉起手，

34I could not.

34但卻辦不到；

35I felt nothing, not the slightest spark of warmth or charity.

35我感受不到絲毫的溫暖或仁愛的火花。

36And so again I breathed a silent prayer.

36因此，我再次默默祈禱：

37Jesus, I cannot forgive him.

37耶穌啊，我無法原諒他，

38Give me Your forgiveness.

38請賜給我您的寬恕。

39“As I took his hand the most incredible thing happened.

39「就在我握住他的手時，極不可思議的事發生了。

40From my shoulder along my arm and through my hand a current seemed to pass from me to him, while into my heart sprang a love for this stranger that almost overwhelmed me.

40一股暖流從我的肩膀沿著我的手臂流過我的手，似乎從我那裡傳到他身上，並且從我心裡湧出對這陌生人滿腔的愛，幾乎將我淹沒。

41“And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world’s healing hinges, but on His.

41「我因此發現到，這世界上的醫治力量不在於我們的寬恕，也不在於我們的仁慈，而在於祂的恩典。

42-50

42When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.”

42當祂告訴我們要愛我們的仇敵時，祂不但給了我們誡命，也給了我們愛。」

43God is there to help you keep His commandments, including the commandment to forgive—even when it’s hard.

43神就在你身邊幫助你遵守祂的誡命，包括寬恕的誡命——即使是很難寬恕的時候。

44He can help you just like He helped Corrie ten Boom.

44祂可以幫助你，就像祂幫助柯麗·彭一樣。

45The Healing You Deserve

45你應得的醫治

46Life is tricky.

46生活有許多挑戰，

47It’s messy.

47也混亂不堪，

48And it’s absolutely full of people with God-given agency.

48而且擁有神所賜選擇權的人到處都是。

49During those times when somebody makes a choice that causes you serious pain—or even accidentally does so—you can receive healing power as you pray for help and strive to forgive.

49當某人的選擇帶給你強烈的痛苦，或甚至在不經意的情況下傷害到你時，只要你祈求獲得幫助並努力去寬恕，就能獲得醫治的力量。

50Forgiving others brings healing to your soul.

50寬恕他人會為你的靈魂帶來醫治。

51-56

51With God’s help, as you forgive someone who has wronged you, you drop a terrible burden from your shoulders that may be holding you back.

51當你藉著神的幫助，寬恕一位待你不公的人時，就像放下了肩上那副一直拖累你的重擔。

52Even when the path to true healing feels difficult, with God, you’ll never have to walk it alone.

52即使那條通往真正醫治的道路感覺很困難，但有神的幫助，你永遠不必孤軍奮戰。

53What Forgiveness Does Not Require

53寬恕所沒有要求的事

54Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles once spoke of the Savior’s commandment to forgive.

54二使徒定額組傑佛瑞·賀倫長老曾談到救主要我們寬恕的這項誡命。

55Then he said: “It is, however, important for some of you living in real anguish to note what He did not say.

55十他接著說：「然而，對於目前生活在真實痛苦之中的人來說，請注意祂並沒有說的事。

56He did not say, ‘You are not allowed to feel true pain or real sorrow from the shattering experiences you have had at the hand of another.’

56祂並沒有說：『當別人的行為使你遭受突如其來的打擊時，你們不應感到深切的痛苦或極度的悲傷。』

57-66

57Nor did He say, ‘In order to forgive fully, you have to reenter a toxic relationship or return to an abusive, destructive circumstance.’

57祂也沒有說：『為了做到完全地寬恕，你必須恢復一段有害的關係，或回到虐待和危險的環境中。』

58But notwithstanding even the most terrible offenses that might come to us, we can rise above our pain only when we put our feet onto the path of true healing.”

58然而縱使我們可能會遭受最為嚴重的傷害，只要走在真正醫治的道路上，就能超脫於自身的痛苦。」
