1“A Marvelous Work and a Wonder”
1「奇妙又奇妙的事」
2The Lord said, “I command all … that they shall write the words which I speak unto them” (2 Nephi 29:11). Through the Spirit, the Lord will speak to you as you study His word. Record what you receive.
2主說:「我命令所有的人……都要把我對他們講的話寫下來」(尼腓二書29:11)。主會在你研讀祂的話語時,透過聖靈對你講話。將你獲得的話語記錄下來。
3Record Your Impressions
3記錄靈感啟發
4“I prophesy unto you concerning the last days,” Nephi wrote (2 Nephi 26:14). In other words, he was writing about our day. And there’s reason to be concerned about what he saw: people denying the power and miracles of God, rampant envy and strife, the devil binding people with strong cords. But in addition to these latter-day “works of darkness” (2 Nephi 26:10, 22) led by the adversary, Nephi also spoke of “a marvelous work and a wonder” led by the Lord Himself (2 Nephi 27:26). And at the center of that work would be a book—a book that speaks from the dust, that exposes Satan’s lies, and that gathers the righteous like a standard. That book is the Book of Mormon, the marvelous work is the work of the Lord’s Church in the latter days, and the wonder is that He invites all of us, in spite of our weaknesses, to participate.
4尼腓寫道:「我要向你預言關於末世的事情」(尼腓二書26:14)。換句話說,他寫的是我們的時代。而且我們有理由要在乎他所看到的事情:世人否認神的大能與奇蹟,到處可見嫉妒與不和,魔鬼用堅韌的繩索捆住人們。但是除了敵對者在後期時代主導的這些「黑暗的工作」(尼腓二書26:10,22),尼腓也談到了由主親自主導的「奇妙又奇妙的事」(尼腓二書27:26)。那事工的重心就是會有一本從塵埃中說話的書,揭發撒但的謊言,並像大旗一樣將義人聚集起來。那本書就是摩爾門經,那奇妙的事工就是主的教會在後期時代的事工,而那奇妙的事就是儘管我們有缺點,主仍邀請我們所有的人參與祂的事工。
52 Nephi 26:20–33
5尼腓二書26:20-33
6Jesus Christ invites all to come unto Him.
6耶穌基督邀請所有的人歸向祂。
7The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that Heavenly Father is more “boundless in his mercies and blessings, than we are ready to believe or receive” (The Joseph Smith Papers, “History, 1838–1856, volume D-1,” p. 4 [addenda], josephsmithpapers.org). Read what Nephi foresaw in 2 Nephi 26:20–22 and what he taught about the Savior in verses 23–33, and compare this to Joseph Smith’s statement. What do you learn about the Lord’s boundless mercy? What can you do as a member of Jesus Christ’s Church to be more Christlike in the way you treat God’s children?
7先知約瑟·斯密教導,天父的「慈悲和祝福的無限,超過我們能夠相信與接受的程度」(The Joseph Smith Papers, “History, 1838–1856, volume D-1,” p. 4 [addenda], josephsmithpapers.org)。閱讀尼腓在尼腓二書26:20-22中預見的事,以及他在第23-33節中對於救主的教導,然後將此與約瑟·斯密上述的話作一比較。關於主的無限慈悲,你學到哪些事情?身為耶穌基督教會的成員,你可以做什麼,用更像基督的方式對待神的兒女?

10What is the book mentioned in these chapters?
10這幾章提到哪本書?
11Nephi’s prophecy in 2 Nephi 26–27, which draws heavily from an earlier prophecy of Isaiah (see Isaiah 29), foretells the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. This prophecy describes the following:
11尼腓在尼腓二書第26~27章的預言大量摘錄自以賽亞早期的一則預言(見以賽亞書第29章),其中預言了摩爾門經的問世。該預言描述:
12The words of Lehi’s seed (his descendants) speaking from “low out of the dust” with a “familiar spirit” and being “sealed up in a book” (2 Nephi 26:14–17; see also Isaiah 29:4).
12李海的後裔(他的子孫)的言語必像「交鬼者」的聲音「微細出於塵埃」,且被記在「一部書中,並封起來」(尼腓二書26:14-17;亦見以賽亞書29:4)。
13A portion of the book being given to a learned man who says, “I cannot read it” (2 Nephi 27:15–20; Joseph Smith—History 1:64–65; see also Isaiah 29:11).
13那本書的一部分交給了一個有學問的人看,但他說:「我不能讀」(尼腓二書27:15-20;約瑟·斯密——歷史1:64-65;亦見以賽亞書29:11)。
14In addition to Isaiah, other biblical prophets allude to the Book of Mormon, although they don’t mention it by name. For example, Ezekiel 37:15–20 speaks of a “stick of Joseph,” which could refer to the record of the Nephites, who were descendants of Joseph. This record would become one with the “stick of Judah,” meaning the Bible.
14除了以賽亞之外,聖經的其他先知也提到摩爾門經,只不過沒有提到書名而已。例如,以西結書37:15-20就談到「約瑟的杖」,指的就是尼腓人的紀錄,因為尼腓人是約瑟的後裔。該紀錄會和「猶大的杖」(即聖經)合而為一。
15Other examples can be found in “Book of Mormon” (Guide to the Scriptures, scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
15經文指南的「摩爾門經」(scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org)也可以找到其他例子。

16尼腓二書第28章
17Satan seeks to deceive.
17撒但致力於欺騙。
18Many of Satan’s lies and tactics are exposed in Nephi’s descriptions of the last days in 2 Nephi 28. See if you can find them (for example, see verses 6, 8, 21–23, 29). Why do you need to know about Satan’s lies? What will you do when the adversary tries to deceive you?
18尼腓在尼腓二書第28章對於末世時代的描述,揭發了撒但的許多謊言和技倆,看看你是否能找出來(例見第6,8,21-23,29節)。為什麼你需要知道撒但的謊言?敵對者試圖欺騙你時,你會做什麼?
192 Nephi 28:27–31; 29
19尼腓二書28:27-31;第29章
20God continues to give revelation to guide His children.
20神持續賜予啟示來引導祂的兒女。
21As Latter-day Saints we are blessed with an abundance of the word of God, so Nephi’s warnings can apply to us: we must never feel that “we have enough!” As you read the warnings in 2 Nephi 28 and 29, ponder questions like these:
21身為後期聖徒,我們因得到許多神的話而蒙受祝福,所以尼腓的警告適用於我們:我們永遠不可說「我們已足夠」!閱讀尼腓二書第28章和第29章的警告,並沉思如下的問題:
22How does the Lord want me to feel about and respond to His word?
22主希望我對祂的話有什麼感覺?又有何回應?
23Why are people sometimes “angry” about receiving more truth from God? (2 Nephi 28:28). Do I ever feel this way? If so, how can I become more receptive to truth?
23為什麼人們有時候會因得到更多從神而來的真理而「發怒」(尼腓二書28:28)?我是否也曾有過這樣的感覺?如果是,我要如何才能更願意接受真理?
24What does it mean to receive God’s word? How can I show Him that I want to receive more of His word?
24接受神的話是什麼意思?我要如何向祂表達,我希望接受更多祂的話?

26尼腓二書第29~30章
27God prepared the Book of Mormon for our day.
27神為我們的時代準備了摩爾門經。
28Nephi knew by revelation, even before the Book of Mormon had been completely written, that it would one day “be of great worth unto the children of men” (2 Nephi 28:2). Why is the Book of Mormon of great worth to you? Think about this question as you read 2 Nephi 29–30. What are some of the “marvelous” works that God is accomplishing in the world and in your life through the Book of Mormon?
28摩爾門經還未寫完的時候,尼腓就透過啟示知道,這部書將來有一天「對人類兒女會極有價值」(尼腓二書28:2)。為什麼摩爾門經對你極有價值?閱讀尼腓二書第29~30章時思考這個問題。神透過摩爾門經在這世上及你的生命中完成了哪些「奇妙的」事?
29As 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.
29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:
302 Nephi 26:12–13
30尼腓二書26:12-13
31Nephi taught that Jesus Christ manifests Himself through the Holy Ghost. What experiences could family members share with each other when their testimonies of the Savior were strengthened by the Holy Ghost?
31尼腓教導,耶穌基督會透過聖靈顯現自己。聖靈曾如何鞏固家人對救主的見證?他們有什麼樣的經驗可以互相分享?
322 Nephi 26:22; 28:19–22
32尼腓二書26:22;28:19-22
33Maybe your family would enjoy an object lesson illustrating what 2 Nephi 26:22 teaches about the devil. As you read about Satan’s tactics in 2 Nephi 28:19–22, you could wrap some thread around someone’s wrists to represent “a flaxen cord.” How is a flaxen cord like Satan’s temptations? How might it become a strong cord? How can we detect Satan’s lies?
33你的家庭或許會喜歡採用以下的實物課程,來說明尼腓二書26:22對於魔鬼的教導。閱讀尼腓二書28:19-22中提到的撒但的技倆時,可以將一些線纏繞在某人的手腕上,來代表「亞麻繩」。亞麻繩如何像撒但的誘惑一樣?又如何可能變成像堅韌的繩索?我們要如何發現撒但的謊言?
34Nephi compared the devil’s temptations to “a flaxen cord.”
34尼腓將魔鬼的誘惑比喻成「亞麻繩」。
352 Nephi 27:20–21
35尼腓二書27:20-21
36What might the Lord mean when He says, “I am able to do mine own work”? How does this truth influence the way we serve in His Church?
36主說:「我有能力完成我自己的事工」,可能是什麼意思?這項真理如何影響我們在主教會服務的方式?
372 Nephi 28:30–31
37尼腓二書28:30-31
38Can your family think of something that, like revelation from God, is best received a little at a time? Why does God reveal truth to us “line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little” instead of all at once?
38有哪些事,如神的啟示,最好是一次領受一點就好;你的家庭能想到一些例子嗎?為什麼神不一次顯示全部的真理,而是「律上加律,令上加令,這裡一點,那裡一點」?
392 Nephi 29:7–9
39尼腓二書29:7-9
40What does the Lord intend to prove or show with the Book of Mormon?
40主想要藉由摩爾門經證明或顯示什麼?

43Share insights. Discussing with others what you learn can strengthen your own understanding. After reading 2 Nephi 29:6–14, you may feel inspired to explain to a friend why we need the Book of Mormon.
43分享見解。和別人討論自己學到的事情可以加強自己的理解力。讀完尼腓二書29:6-14後,你可能會受到啟發,要向一位朋友解釋為什麼我們需要摩爾門經。
44Nephi’s writings foretold “a marvelous work and a wonder” that would take place in the last days (2 Nephi 27:26).
44尼腓的寫作預告了末世將發生一件「奇妙又奇妙的事」(尼腓二書27:26)。
