1“Filled with Love towards God and All Men”
1「充滿對神和對所有人的愛」
2King Benjamin gave one reason for recording our spiritual impressions: “It were not possible that our father, Lehi, could have remembered all these things, to have taught them to his children, except it were for the help of these plates” (Mosiah 1:4).
2便雅憫王給了我們一個記錄靈感啟發的理由:「倘若我們的祖先李海沒有這些頁片,就不可能記得所有這些事情,也無法教他的子女這些事」(摩賽亞書1:4)。
3Record Your Impressions
3記錄靈感啟發
4When you hear the word king, you might think of crowns, castles, servants, and thrones. In Mosiah 1–3, you will read about a different kind of king. Rather than living off the labors of his people, King Benjamin “labored with [his] own hands” (Mosiah 2:14). Instead of having others serve him, he served his people “with all the might, mind and strength which the Lord [had] granted unto [him]” (Mosiah 2:11). This king did not want his people to worship him; rather, he taught them to worship a King greater than himself, for he understood that it is “the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth” (Mosiah 3:5). Like all great leaders in the kingdom of God, King Benjamin’s words and example point us to the Heavenly King, who is the Savior, Jesus Christ. King Benjamin testified that Jesus came “down from heaven” and went “forth amongst men, working mighty miracles. … And lo, he cometh unto his own, that salvation might come unto the children of men even through faith on his name” (Mosiah 3:5, 9).
4人們聽到國王一詞時,可能會想到王冠、城堡、僕人和寶座。在摩賽亞書第1~3章,你將讀到一位不一樣的國王。便雅憫王「親手勞動」(摩賽亞書2:14),而不是靠人民來養他。他「以主賜〔他的〕一切能力、意志、力量」(摩賽亞書2:11)來為他的人民服務,而不是要別人來服事他。這位國王不希望他的人民崇拜他,而是教導他們去崇拜一位比他更偉大的王,因為他知道「全能之主」才是那位真正「掌權的」(摩賽亞書3:5)。像神國中所有偉大的領袖一樣,便雅憫王的言教和身教都引導著我們歸向那位天上的王,也就是救主耶穌基督。便雅憫王見證,耶穌要「從天而降」,「走入人群,行大奇蹟。……看啊,祂來到自己的人民中,使人類兒女得以經由對祂名的信心而得到救恩」(摩賽亞書3:5,9)。
5Mosiah 2:1–9
5摩賽亞書2:1-9
6Receiving the word of God requires preparation.
6接受神的話需要有所準備。
7When King Benjamin sent word that he wanted to speak to his people, so many people came “that they did not number them” (Mosiah 2:2). They came, in part, because of their gratitude and love for their leader. But more important, they came to be taught the word of God.
7便雅憫王通告要對人民講話之後,前去的人很多,「多得沒有去計算」(摩賽亞書2:2)。他們願意前去的部分原因是因為感激並敬愛他們的領袖。但更重要的是,他們想要去學習神的話。
8As you read Mosiah 2:1–9, look for what the people did to show that they valued God’s word. What did King Benjamin ask them to do to prepare to hear God’s word? (see verse 9). How can you better prepare yourself to receive the word of God in your personal and family study and during Church meetings?
8閱讀摩賽亞書2:1-9時,找出人民做了什麼,顯示他們重視神的話。便雅憫王要他們做什麼,以準備好聽神的話?(見第9節)。你要如何作更妥善的準備,以在個人和家庭的研讀時,還有在教會聚會期間,接受神的話?
9See also Matthew 13:18–23; Alma 16:16–17.
9亦見馬太福音13:18-23;阿爾瑪書16:16-17。
10Mosiah 2:10–26
10摩賽亞書2:10-26
11When I serve others, I am also serving God.
11我在為人服務時,也是在為神服務。
12Do you struggle to find time to serve or wish that your service brought you more joy? What do you think King Benjamin would say if you asked him why he served with all his “might, mind and strength”? (Mosiah 2:11). As you read Mosiah 2:10–26, identify the truths that King Benjamin taught about service and ponder how you can use them in your life. For example, what does it mean to you to know that when you serve other people, you are also serving God? (see Mosiah 2:17). Think of a way you can serve someone this week!
12你是否很難找到時間來服務?還是希望服務能帶給你更多喜樂?如果你問便雅憫王,為何他要用一切「能力、意志、力量」來服務,你認為他會說什麼?(摩賽亞書2:11)。閱讀摩賽亞書2:10-26時,找出便雅憫王在服務方面所教導的真理,並沉思你要如何在生活中運用這些真理。例如,知道為人服務也是在為神服務,對你而言有什麼意義?(見摩賽亞書2:17)。想個可以在這週為某人服務的方法!
13See also Matthew 25:40.
13亦見馬太福音25:40。
14When I serve others, I am also serving God.
14我在為人服務時,也是在為神服務。
15Mosiah 3:1–20
15摩賽亞書3:1-20
16I can overcome the natural man and become a saint through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
16藉由耶穌基督的贖罪,我可以克服自然人,成為聖徒。
17King Benjamin, like all prophets, testified of Jesus Christ so that his people “might receive remission of their sins, and rejoice with exceedingly great joy” (Mosiah 3:13). He also taught that the Savior, through His Atonement, not only makes us clean but also gives us power to put off the “natural man” and become “a saint” (Mosiah 3:19; see also Guide to the Scriptures, “Natural Man,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
17便雅憫王像所有的先知一樣為耶穌基督作見證,好讓他的人民「能獲得罪的赦免,享有極大的快樂」(摩賽亞書3:13)。他也教導救主透過贖罪,不僅讓我們能得到潔淨,還賜給我們力量,脫離「自然人」,成為「聖徒」(摩賽亞書3:19;亦見經文指南,「自然人」,scriptures.churchofjesuschrist.org)。
18Elder David A. Bednar explained: “It is the Atonement of Jesus Christ that provides both a cleansing and redeeming power that helps us to overcome sin and a sanctifying and strengthening power that helps us to become better than we ever could by relying only upon our own strength. The infinite Atonement is for both the sinner and for the saint in each of us” (“Clean Hands and a Pure Heart,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2007, 82).
18大衛·貝納長老解釋說:「耶穌基督的贖罪具有潔淨和救贖的力量,能幫助我們克服罪,又具有聖化和使人堅強的力量,能幫助我們成為更好的人,比我們單單倚靠自己的力量所能做到的更好。 無限的贖罪對我們內心中邪惡的部分和聖潔的部分都有功效」(「手潔心清」,2007年11月,利阿賀拿,第82頁)。
19Here are some questions to ponder as you read King Benjamin’s testimony of the Savior in Mosiah 3:1–20:
19以下是你在閱讀摩賽亞書3:1-20中便雅憫王對救主的見證時,可以沉思的一些問題:
20What do I learn from these verses about the Savior and His mission?
20從這幾節經文中,我學到哪些關於救主和祂的使命的事?
21How has Jesus Christ helped me overcome sin? How has He helped me change my nature and become more like a saint?
21耶穌基督曾如何幫助我克服罪?祂曾如何幫助我改變本性,變得更像聖徒?
22What do I learn about becoming a saint from Mosiah 3:19?
22關於成為聖徒,我從摩賽亞書3:19學到什麼?
23Mosiah 3:8
23摩賽亞書3:8
24Why did King Benjamin refer to Jesus as “the Father of heaven and earth”?
24為什麼便雅憫王稱耶穌是「天地之父」?
25President Joseph F. Smith explained: “Jesus Christ, whom we also know as Jehovah, was the executive of the Father, Elohim, in the work of creation. … Jesus Christ, being the Creator, is consistently called the Father of heaven and earth … ; and since His creations are of eternal quality He is very properly called the Eternal Father of heaven and earth” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith [1998], 357).
25約瑟F.·斯密會長解釋說:「我們稱之為耶和華的耶穌基督,在創造事工上是父以羅興的執行人。……因此,身為創造主的耶穌基督,被稱為天地之父,並無矛盾之處……;並且,因為祂的創造皆有永恆的特質,祂理所當然地,可稱為天和地的永恆之父」(總會會長的教訓:約瑟F.·斯密〔1998〕,第357頁)。

30It might be fun for your family to create the setting for King Benjamin’s speech. You could make a small tower and let family members take turns reading King Benjamin’s words while standing on it. The rest of the family could listen from inside a makeshift tent.
30全家為便雅憫王布置演講會場可能會很有意思。你們可以蓋一座小塔樓,讓家人輪流站在上面讀出便雅憫王的話。其餘的人可以在自搭的臨時帳棚內聆聽。
