<p class='chinese'>第五十七篇</p>
<p class='english'>Section 57</p>
<p class='chinese'>一八三一年七月廿日，在密蘇里，傑克森郡，錫安，透過先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的啟示〔教會史，1:189–190〕。長老們順從主的命令（第五十二篇），從嘉德蘭啟程前往密蘇里，有許多不同的經驗和一些對立。先知沉思拉曼人的情況，又想到人民普遍缺乏文化、修養和宗教時，乃喊道：「曠野何時能像玫瑰盛開？錫安何時能在其榮耀中建立？在末世，萬國要來到的您的聖殿將立在何處？」〔教會史，1:189〕。隨後他就獲得本啟示。</p>
<p class='english'>Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, in Zion, Jackson County, Missouri, 20 July 1831 (see History of the Church, 1:189–90). In compliance with the Lord’s command (section 52), the elders had journeyed from Kirtland to Missouri with many varied experiences and some opposition. In contemplating the state of the Lamanites and the lack of civilization, refinement, and religion among the people generally, the Prophet exclaimed: “When will the wilderness blossom as the rose? When will Zion be built up in her glory, and where will Thy temple stand, unto which all nations shall come in the last days?” (History of the Church, 1:189). Subsequently he received this revelation.</p>

<p class='chinese'><span class='chineseVerse'>1</span> 聽啊，你們這些我教會的長老們啊，主你們的神說，你們已照我的誡命，聚集在此地，就是<sup class='chineseSup'>ａ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/1a 密]蘇里地，是我指定並為聖徒們的<sup class='chineseSup'>ｂ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/1b 聚集]而<sup class='chineseSup'>ｃ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/1c 聖化]的<sup class='chineseSup'>ｄ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/1d 土地]。</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>1</span> Hearken, O ye elders of my church, saith the Lord your God, who have assembled yourselves together, according to my commandments, in this land, which is the land of <sup class='englishSup'>a</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng Missouri], which is the <sup class='englishSup'>b</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng land] which I have appointed and <sup class='englishSup'>c</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng consecrated] for the <sup class='englishSup'>d</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng gathering] of the saints.</p>
<p class='chinese'><span class='chineseVerse'>2</span> 因此，這就是應許地，是<sup class='chineseSup'>ａ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/2a 錫安]城的<sup class='chineseSup'>ｂ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/2b 所在地]。</p>

<p class='chinese'><span class='chineseVerse'>3</span> 主你們的神這樣說，如果你們願接受智慧，在這裡有智慧。看啊，現在稱為獨立城的地方就是中心地；<sup class='chineseSup'>ａ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/3a 聖殿]的地點在其西邊，離法院不遠的一塊地上。</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>3</span> And thus saith the Lord your God, if you will receive wisdom here is wisdom.

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>4</span> Wherefore, it is wisdom that the land should be <sup class='englishSup'>a</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng purchased] by the saints, and also every tract lying westward, even unto the line running directly <sup class='englishSup'>b</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng between] Jew and Gentile;</p>
<p class='chinese'><span class='chineseVerse'>5</span> 還有鄰接大草原的每塊地，只要我的門徒有能力<sup class='chineseSup'>ａ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/5a 購買]土地。看啊，這是智慧，這樣他們就能<sup class='chineseSup'>ｂ</sup>[http://scriptures.lds.org/zh/dc/57/5b 獲得]土地作為永久的繼承產業。</p>

<p class='chinese'><span class='chineseVerse'>9</span> 我僕人西德尼 • 吉伯特也要取得一張執照──看啊，在這裡有智慧，凡閱讀的都要明白──好讓他也能送貨到人民那裡，由他雇用來服務的夥計送去；</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>9</span> And also let my servant Sidney Gilbert obtain a license—behold here is <sup class='englishSup'>a</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng wisdom], and whoso readeth let him <sup class='englishSup'>b</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng understand]—that he may send goods also unto the people, even by whom he will as clerks employed in his service;</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>10</span> And thus provide for my saints, that my gospel may be preached unto those who sit in <sup class='englishSup'>a</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng darkness] and in the region and<sup class='englishSup'>b</sup>[http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/57?lang=eng shadow] of death.</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>15</span> And now concerning the gathering—Let the bishop and the agent make preparations for those families which have been commanded to come to this land, as soon as possible, and plant them in their inheritance.</p>
<p class='chinese'><span class='chineseVerse'>16</span> 至於其他長老們和教友們，以後會有進一步的指示。正如這樣。阿們。</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>16</span> And unto the residue of both elders and members further directions shall be given hereafter. Even so. Amen.</p>
