2 Nephi 11–25

尼腓二書第11～25章

“We Rejoice in Christ”

「我們因基督而快樂」

1“We Rejoice in Christ”

1「我們因基督而快樂」

2Nephi taught that Isaiah’s words “are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy” (2 Nephi 25:4). As you read, seek the spirit of prophecy by preparing yourself spiritually, listening to the Spirit, and recording your impressions.

2尼腓教導，以賽亞的話「對所有那些充滿預言之靈的人而言，卻很明白」（尼腓二書25：4）。閱讀時，藉著在靈性上準備自己、聆聽和記錄聖靈給你的靈感啟發，來尋求預言之靈。

3Record Your Impressions

3記錄靈感啟發

4Engraving on metal plates is not easy, and space on Nephi’s small plates was limited. So why would Nephi go to the tedious effort of copying a large amount of Isaiah’s writings into his record? He did it “that whoso … shall see these words may lift up their hearts and rejoice” (2 Nephi 11:8). In a sense, the invitation to read Isaiah’s writings is an invitation to rejoice. You can take delight, as Nephi did, in Isaiah’s prophecies about the gathering of Israel, the coming of the Messiah, and the millennial peace promised to the righteous. You can rejoice that even in a day of “trouble, and darkness,” you “have seen a great light” (2 Nephi 18:22; 19:2). You can rejoice that you can “draw water out of the wells of salvation” (2 Nephi 22:3). In other words, you can “rejoice in Christ” (2 Nephi 25:26).

4在金屬片上刻字並不容易，尼腓小片的空間也很有限。那麼為什麼尼腓還要這麼費力地把以賽亞的大量寫作刻到他的紀錄裡呢？他這麼做，是要「使看到這些話的……都可以……歡欣快樂」（尼腓二書11：8）。就某種意義來說，邀請閱讀以賽亞的寫作就是邀請大家歡欣快樂。以賽亞預言了以色列的聚集，彌賽亞的來臨，以及千禧年時應許給義人的平安，而你可以像尼腓一樣，因以賽亞的預言而快樂。你甚至可以在「艱難、黑暗」的日子，因「看見了大光」（尼腓二書18：22；19：2）而歡欣快樂。你可以因能夠「從救恩的泉源……取水」（尼腓二書22：3）而快樂。換句話說，你可以「因基督而快樂」（尼腓二書25：26）。

52 Nephi 11–25

5尼腓二書第11～25章

6How can I better understand the teachings of Isaiah?

6我要如何才能更了解以賽亞的教導？

7Nephi acknowledged that for some, “the words of Isaiah are not plain” (2 Nephi 25:4). This can certainly be true for those who aren’t familiar with ancient Jewish culture and geography like Nephi was (see 2 Nephi 25:6). But Nephi also gave counsel to help us find meaning in Isaiah’s writings:

7尼腓承認「以賽亞的話對〔一些人〕而言並非很明白」（尼腓二書25：4）。對於不像尼腓那樣熟悉古代猶太文化和地理的人而言，確實是如此（見尼腓二書25：6）。不過，尼腓也給了忠告，來幫助我們找出以賽亞寫作中的意思：

8Many of Isaiah’s teachings have multiple possible meanings and applications. For example, his writings about the scattering and gathering of Israel might prompt you to think about your need to be “gathered” back to the Savior.

8以賽亞的許多教導都有多重的意思和應用方式。例如，他在寫作中提到以色列的分散和聚集，可能會讓你想到你需要回到救主身邊「聚集」。

9The best way to understand Isaiah’s prophecies is to seek inspiration from the Spirit. Pray for spiritual guidance. You may not understand everything all at once, but the Spirit can help you learn what you need to know for your life today.

9了解以賽亞預言最好的方法，就是尋求聖靈的啟發。祈求有聖靈的指引。你可能無法突然了解所有的事，但是聖靈會幫助你學習今日生活中必須知道的事。

10You might also find it helpful to refer to the study helps in the scriptures, including the footnotes, chapter headings, Guide to the Scriptures, and so on.

10你也可能會發現經文的研讀輔助工具很有幫助，如註腳、章前綱要、經文指南等等。

112 Nephi 11:2–8; 25:19–29

11尼腓二書11：2-8；25：19-29

12“The right way is to believe in Christ.”

12「那正道就是相信基督。」

13Nephi both introduced and concluded his quotation of Isaiah by expressing his testimony of Jesus Christ (see 2 Nephi 11:2–8; 25:19–29). What impresses you about his testimony? As you study this week, think about Nephi’s desires to “persuade [his] children … to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God” (2 Nephi 25:23), and note passages that persuade you to believe in and follow Jesus Christ.

13尼腓在引述以賽亞的話之前和最後，都表達了自己對耶穌基督的見證（見尼腓二書11：2-8；25：19-29）。他的見證有哪部分讓你印象深刻？本週研讀時，思考尼腓的願望，即他希望「勸〔他的〕子女……相信基督並與神和諧」（尼腓二書25：23），然後將能勸你相信並跟隨耶穌基督的經文章節劃記下來。

14It might help to remember that many of Isaiah’s teachings about the Savior are conveyed through symbols. For example, you may see the Savior in symbols such as the lord of a vineyard (see 2 Nephi 15:1–7), a stone (see 2 Nephi 18:14), and a light (see 2 Nephi 19:2). What other symbols of Jesus Christ do you find in these chapters? What do these symbols teach you about Him?

14以賽亞的許多教導以象徵傳遞關於救主的事情；記住這一點可能會有所幫助。舉例來說，你會看到葡萄園之主（見尼腓二書15：1-7）、石頭（見尼腓二書18：14）、光（見尼腓二書19：2）等象徵，都是在講救主。你在這幾章中還找到其他哪些象徵耶穌基督的事物？這些象徵教導你哪些關於祂的事？

152 Nephi 12–13

15尼腓二書第12～13章

16The proud and worldly will be humbled.

16驕傲和世俗的人必降為卑。

17Nephi had foreseen that pride would cause the downfall of his people (see 1 Nephi 12:19). So it’s not surprising that Nephi would share with his people Isaiah’s repeated warnings against pride. In chapters 12 and 13, look for words that Isaiah used to describe pridefulness, such as lofty and haughty. Then you might try paraphrasing these warnings in your own words, as if you were writing a message to yourself to warn about pride.

17尼腓預見驕傲將導致他人民的敗落（見尼腓一書12：19）。因此尼腓跟他的人民分享以賽亞不斷告誡驕傲的信息，就不足為奇了。找出第12章和第13章中以賽亞用了哪些詞句來形容驕傲，例如狂妄和高傲。接著不妨試著用自己的話轉述這些警告，就好像是寫一段話給自己，警告自己不要驕傲一樣。

18See also “Chapter 18: Beware of Pride” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson [2014], 229–40).

18亦見「第18章：慎防驕傲」（總會會長的教訓：泰福·彭蓀〔2014〕，第229-240頁）。

192 Nephi 12:2–5; 21:9–12; 22; 24:1–3

19尼腓二書12：2-5；21：9-12；第22章；24：1-3

20In the Millennium, God’s people will enjoy peace.

20千禧年時，神的人民將享有平安。

21You might find it helpful to visualize yourself in the place of Nephi and his people. Imagine you fled from Jerusalem just before it was destroyed (see 2 Nephi 25:10), and now you are part of the scattering of Israel. How might it have felt to read Isaiah’s teachings about the future gathering of Israel and a peaceful Millennium? As Latter-day Saints, we have been called to help gather God’s people in the latter days in preparation for Christ’s millennial reign. As you read these verses, ponder how you are helping fulfill the prophecies they describe. What do you feel inspired to do to help gather God’s people?

21想像自己身在尼腓和他人民的處境，可能會有所幫助。想像你剛好在耶路撒冷毀滅前逃離那地（見尼腓二書25：10），現在你是分散的以色列當中的一員。當你讀到以賽亞教導說，以色列將來會聚集，以及千禧年的和平，可能會有何感受？身為後期聖徒，我們已蒙召喚要在後期時代幫助聚集神的人民，為基督千禧年的統治作準備。閱讀這些經文章節時，沉思你要如何幫助完成其中所述的預言。你受到啟發要做什麼，來幫助聚集神的人民？

22As 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.

22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：

232 Nephi 12:1–3

23尼腓二書12：1-3

24If you have been to the temple—“the mountain of the Lord’s house”—you might share with your family how temple covenants are helping you “walk in [the Lord’s] paths.” If you have not been to the temple, reading these verses together might inspire a discussion about how you can prepare for temple blessings.

24如果你去過聖殿——「主殿的山」——，可以和家人分享聖殿聖約如何幫助你「行〔主的〕路」。如果你還沒有去過聖殿，一起閱讀這幾節經文或許可激發你們討論要如何為聖殿祝福作準備。

252 Nephi 15:18–23

25尼腓二書15：18-23

26Can your family think of modern examples of the unrighteous ideas that these verses describe? How can we avoid being deceived by false ideas about good and evil?

26你的家庭可以想幾個現代的例子，說明這幾節經文指出的邪惡觀念嗎？我們要如何不被不明是非善惡的錯誤觀念所騙？

272 Nephi 21

27尼腓二書第21章

28If your family needs help understanding this chapter (which corresponds to Isaiah 11), you might find insights in Doctrine and Covenants 113:1–6, in which the Prophet Joseph Smith answers some questions about Isaiah 11. What do we learn about Jesus Christ from these verses?

28如果你的家庭需要幫助來了解本章（比照以賽亞書第11章），你可以從教義和聖約113：1-6找出一些見解；先知約瑟·斯密在這段經文中回答了以賽亞書第11章裡的一些問題。我們從這幾節經文中學到關於耶穌基督的哪些事？

292 Nephi 21:9

29尼腓二書21：9

30What are some specific things we can do to help fill the earth with “the knowledge of the Lord”?

30我們可以具體地做哪些事，讓「主的知識」充滿遍地？

312 Nephi 25:23–26

31尼腓二書25：23-26

32How can you help your family members “rejoice in Christ”? Maybe you could invite them to write on slips of paper things about the Savior that bring them joy. Then, during future family home evenings or family scripture study, someone could read a slip. Family members could add slips throughout the year.

32你要如何幫助家人「因基督而快樂」？或許你可以請他們將救主帶給他們喜樂的原因寫在紙條上，然後在之後舉行家人家庭晚會或家庭經文研讀時，請人讀一張紙條。家人可以在這一整年中加進更多紙條。

34Improving Personal Study

34改進個人研讀

35Look for patterns. In the scriptures we can find patterns that show us how the Lord works. For example, in 2 Nephi 11–25, you might find patterns that show how the Lord warns and forgives.

35找出模式。我們可以從經文中找出主做事的模式。例如，你可以在尼腓二書第11～25章中找出主提出警告和寬恕的模式。

36Panama City Panama Temple. “The Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, … and all nations shall flow unto it” (2 Nephi 12:2).

36巴拿馬巴拿馬市聖殿。「主殿的山建立在諸山之巔，……各族都要流歸這山」（尼腓二書12：2）。
