3Record Your Impressions

3記錄靈感啟發

4There are many, many people who haven’t yet heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you ever feel overwhelmed by the immensity of the task of gathering them into the Lord’s Church, the allegory of the olive trees in Jacob 5 has a reassuring reminder: the vineyard belongs to the Lord. He has given each of us a small area to assist in His work—our family, our circle of friends, our sphere of influence. And sometimes the first person we help gather is ourselves. But we are never alone in this work, for the Lord of the vineyard labors alongside His servants (see Jacob 5:72). God knows and loves His children, and He will prepare a way for each of them to hear His gospel, even those who have rejected Him in the past (see Jacob 4:15–18). And then, when the work is done, all those who have been “diligent in laboring with [Him] … shall have joy with [Him] because of the fruit of [His] vineyard” (Jacob 5:75).

4有許許多多的人不曾聽過耶穌基督的福音。如果你曾因為將他們聚集到主的教會這項任重道遠的工作感到不勝負荷，雅各書第5章中橄欖樹的比喻有個令人安心的提醒：這果園是屬於主的。祂已經賜給我們每一個人園中的一小部分來協助祂的事工——那一小部分可能是我們的家庭、朋友圈，或影響所及的範圍。有時候我們幫助聚集的第一個人是我們自己。不過，我們永遠不會獨自一人做這事工，因為果園之主會在祂的僕人身邊一起工作（見雅各書5：72）。神認識也愛祂的孩子，祂會為每一個人預備道路來聆聽祂的福音，甚至包括那些在過去曾拒絕祂的人（見雅各書4：15-18）。因此，工作完成後，所有曾經「努力與〔祂〕……工作」的人「必因果園的果子與〔祂〕一同歡樂」（雅各書5：75）。

5Jacob 5–6

5雅各書第5～6章

6What is an allegory?

6何謂比喻？

7Allegories are stories that teach spiritual truths through symbols. In the allegory of the olive trees, for example, a vineyard represents the world, a tame olive tree represents Israel (those who have made covenants with God), and wild olive trees represent the gentile nations (those who have not made covenants with God).

7比喻是透過象徵來教導屬靈真理的故事。例如，在橄欖樹的比喻中，果園代表世界，園生橄欖樹代表以色列（與神立約的人），野生橄欖樹則代表外邦民族（沒有與神立約的人）。

8As you study the allegory in Jacob 5, look for additional symbols and ponder what they might mean. For example, what do you think the good fruit represents? What could the bad fruit symbolize?

8研讀雅各書第5章的比喻時，找出其他的象徵，並沉思它們可能的意思。例如，你認為好果子代表什麼？壞果子可能又象徵什麼？

9Jacob 5; 6:3–5

9雅各書第5章；6：3-5

10Jesus Christ is the Lord of the vineyard.

10耶穌基督是果園之主。

11Before you begin your study of the allegory of the olive trees in Jacob 5, it might be helpful to review Jacob 4:10–18 to learn why Jacob felt inspired to share this allegory with his people. In Jacob 6:3–5, you can find some additional messages that Jacob wanted to emphasize; look for these messages in the allegory. What messages do you find for yourself in Jacob 5?

11開始研讀雅各書第5章橄欖樹的比喻前，複習雅各書4：10-18，了解雅各受到啟發要跟他的人民分享這個比喻的原因，可能會有所幫助。你可以在雅各書6：3-5找出雅各希望強調的一些其他信息；從比喻中找出這些信息。你在雅各書第5章發現哪些給你個人的信息？

12Jacob 5 is a long chapter—the longest in the Book of Mormon. Perhaps it would help to divide it into the following sections, which describe periods of the world’s history:

12雅各書第5章很長，是摩爾門經中最長的一章。把這章分成以下段落可能會有所幫助；各段落描述的是世界史各時期的情形：

13The scattering of Israel before the time of Christ

13以色列在基督的時代前被分散

14The ministry of Christ and the Apostles

14基督和使徒的傳道

15The Great Apostasy

15大叛教

16The gathering of Israel in the latter days

16以色列在後期時代的聚集

17The Millennium and end of the world

17千禧年和世界末了

18For additional insights about the allegory, see the diagram that accompanies this outline.

18欲知這比喻的其他見解，見本大綱附錄的圖表。

19We can all serve God by helping Him gather His children.

19我們所有人都可以為神服務，協助祂將祂的兒女聚集起來。

20Jacob 5:61–75

20雅各書5：61-75

21God invites me to help Him gather His children.

21神邀請我協助祂將祂的兒女聚集起來。

22The “other servants” (Jacob 5:70) who were called into the Lord’s vineyard include people like you—as members of the Church, we are all responsible to help God gather His children. What principles do you find in Jacob 5, especially verses 61–62 and 70–75, about working in the Lord’s vineyard? How have you felt Him call you to serve in His vineyard? What experiences have you had while participating in His work?

22被召到主的果園工作的「其他僕人」（雅各書5：70）也包括像你我這樣的教會成員，我們都有責任協助神將祂的兒女聚集起來。在雅各書第5章中，尤其是第61-62節和第70-75節，你找到哪些關於在主的果園工作的原則？主召喚你在祂的果園服務，你有何感受？參與主的事工又讓你經歷到哪些事？

24Jacob 7:1–23

24雅各書7：1-23

25I can stand strong when others challenge my faith.

25別人挑戰我的信仰時，我可以堅定不動搖。

26The Nephites’ experience with Sherem is often repeated today: there may be learned, well-spoken people who try to destroy your faith. But Jacob “could not be shaken” (Jacob 7:5). How did Jacob respond when his faith was attacked? What do you learn from his responses? What can you do now to prepare for times when your faith will be challenged?

26尼腓人與歇雷的經驗在今日屢見不鮮：會有學識豐富、能言善道的人企圖摧毀你的信仰。不過，雅各「絕不會動搖」（雅各書7：5）。別人攻擊雅各的信仰時，他如何回應？你從他的回應中學到什麼？你現在可以做什麼準備，好面對有人挑戰你的信仰的情況？

28As 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.

28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：

29Jacob 5

29雅各書第5章

30Some families have found it helpful to draw the symbols from the allegory of the olive trees as they read it. Your family might enjoy that approach, or there could be another way you can help family members visualize the symbols in the allegory. Maybe you could mark an area on a table or floor to represent the vineyard (or the world) and depict the tame olive tree (or the house of Israel) with an object, such as a puzzle, that can be divided into pieces (to represent the scattering of Israel) and then brought back together (to represent the gathering of Israel). What does this allegory teach us about the Lord? about His servants?

30有些家庭發現在閱讀橄欖樹的比喻時，將比喻中的象徵畫出來會很有幫助。你的家庭可能會喜歡這種方式，或是還有其他方式可用來幫助他們想像比喻中的象徵。你可以在桌上或地板標示出一個區域來代表果園（即世界），用拼圖等實物來代表園生橄欖樹（即以色列家族），這實物要能分成小塊（以代表以色列的分散），然後再合在一起（以代表以色列的聚集）。這個比喻教導我們有關主的哪些事？又教導我們有關祂僕人的哪些事？

31Jacob 5:70–77

31雅各書5：70-77

32As you read about the “last time” that the Lord labors in His vineyard, what inspires you and your family to serve the Lord “with your might”? (Jacob 5:71). You could invite family members to personalize verse 75 by adding their names into this verse—for example, “Blessed art thou [name].” Maybe they can share experiences in which they felt joy while serving the Lord of the vineyard, for example through sharing the gospel, serving in the temple, or strengthening Church members. (See also M. Russell Ballard, “Put Your Trust in the Lord,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2013, 43–45.)

32閱讀主在祂果園「最後一次」的工作時，哪些部分啟發你和你的家庭，要「努力」為主服務（雅各書5：71）？你可以請家人將自己融入第75節中，方法就是把他們的名字放進這一節經文中，例如：「〔名字〕有福了」。他們也可以分享自己為果園之主服務感受到喜樂的經驗，例如：分享福音、在聖殿服務，或是鞏固教會成員。（亦見羅素·培勒，「倚靠耶和華」，2013年11月，利阿賀拿，第43-45頁。）

33Jacob 6:4–7

33雅各書6：4-7

34How has the Lord extended His arm of mercy toward us? What does the word “cleave” mean in these verses? How does the Lord cleave unto us? How can we cleave unto Him?

34主如何一直向我們伸出祂慈悲的臂膀？「忠於」（cleave）一詞，在這幾節經文裡是什麼意思？主如何忠於我們？我們又要如何忠於祂？

35Jacob 7:1–12

35雅各書7：1-12

36What do we learn from these verses about how people try to lead others astray? How can we follow Jacob’s example and be steadfast in our faith in Christ?

36我們從這幾節經文學到，人們如何設法將他人引入歧途？我們要如何效法雅各的榜樣，對基督的信心堅定不移？

38Improving Our Teaching

38改進教導

39Memorize a scripture. Select a scripture passage that is particularly meaningful to your family, and memorize it together. Elder Richard G. Scott taught, “A memorized scripture becomes an enduring friend that is not weakened with the passage of time” (“The Power of Scripture,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 6).

39熟記經文。挑選對你的家庭特別有意義的經文章節，然後一起背下來。李察·司考德長老教導：「熟記在心的一節經文就像一位能常相左右的朋友，其力量不會隨著時間的流逝而減弱」（「經文的力量」，2011年11月，利阿賀拿，第6頁）。
