第五十五篇

Section 55

一八三一年六月，在俄亥俄，嘉德蘭，透過先知約瑟 • 斯密給予威廉 • 斐普的啟示〔教會史，1:184–186〕。印刷業者威廉 • 斐普和家人剛到嘉德蘭，先知為他的事求問主。

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet to William W. Phelps, at Kirtland, Ohio, June 1831 (see History of the Church, 1:184–86). William W. Phelps, a printer, and his family had just arrived at Kirtland, and the Prophet sought the Lord for information concerning him.

1–3，威廉 • 斐普蒙召喚和揀選，要受洗、按立為長老，並宣講福音；4，他也要為教會學校的兒童寫書；5–6，他要前往密蘇里，那將是他工作的地區。

1–3, W. W. Phelps is called and chosen to be baptized, to be ordained an elder, and to preach the gospel; 4, He is also to write books for children in Church schools; 5–6, He is to travel to Missouri, which will be the area of his labors.

1 看啊，我的僕人威廉，主，是的，即^ａ全地之主，這樣對你說，你已蒙召喚和揀選；你若眼睛專注於我的榮耀而受水的^ｂ洗禮，你將獲得赦罪，並藉^ｃ按手禮接受神聖之靈；

1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant William, yea, even the Lord of the whole ^aearth, thou art called and chosen; and after thou hast been ^bbaptized by water, which if you do with an eye single to my glory, you shall have a remission of your sins and a reception of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of ^chands;

2 然後你要由我僕人小約瑟 • 斯密的手按立為本教會的長老，奉活神的兒子耶穌基督的名，宣講悔改和經由洗禮的^ａ赦罪。

2 And then thou shalt be ordained by the hand of my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., to be an elder unto this church, to preach repentance and ^aremission of sins by way of baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.

3 無論你按手在誰頭上，如果他們在我面前痛悔，你必有能力賜予神聖之靈。

3 And on whomsoever you shall ^alay your hands, if they are contrite before me, you shall have power to give the Holy Spirit.

4 還有，你要被按立去協助我僕人奧利佛 • 考德里做印刷的工作，並為本教會的學校選擇和撰寫^ａ書籍，讓兒童也能在我面前照我所喜悅的方式接受教導。

4 And again, you shall be ordained to assist my servant Oliver Cowdery to do the work of printing, and of selecting and writing^abooks for ^bschools in this church, that little ^cchildren also may receive ^dinstruction before me as is pleasing unto me.

5 還有，我實在告訴你，為了這緣故，你要與我僕人小約瑟 • 斯密和西德尼 • 雷格登一同啟程，好將你^ａ安置在你的繼承地做這工作。

5 And again, verily I say unto you, for this cause you shall take your journey with my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that you may be ^aplanted in the land of your inheritance to do this work.

6 還有，我僕人約瑟 • 寇也要與他們一同啟程。其餘的將在今後按我的意思指示。阿們。

6 And again, let my servant ^aJoseph Coe also take his journey with them. The residue shall be made known hereafter, even as I will. Amen.
