10I marvel at your resilience and spiritual strength in the face of illness, loss, and isolation.
10你們在面對疾病、損失和隔離時所表現的堅忍和靈性力量令我驚嘆。

13This morning, we have heard from Church leaders who come from every populated continent on earth.

14Truly, the blessings of the gospel are for every race, language, and people.
14福音的祝福確實是給每一個種族、語言和民族的。
15The Church of Jesus Christ is a global church.
15耶穌基督的教會是一個全球性的教會。
16Jesus Christ is our leader.
16耶穌基督是我們的領袖。
17Thankfully, even a pandemic has not been able to slow the onward march of His truth.
17我們很感謝,即使發生疫情也無法減緩祂的真理向前邁進。
18The gospel of Jesus Christ is exactly what is needed in this confused, contentious, and weary world.
18耶穌基督的福音正是這個困惑、紛爭和疲憊的世界所需要的。
19Each of God’s children deserves the opportunity to hear and accept the healing, redeeming message of Jesus Christ.
19神的每個孩子,都應當有機會聆聽和接受耶穌基督的醫治與救贖的信息。
20No other message is more vital to our happiness—now and forever.
20沒有其他的信息比這更攸關我們的幸福,無論是現在或永恆的祝福。
21No other message is more filled with hope.
21沒有任何其他信息更加充滿希望。
22No other message can eliminate contention in our society.
22沒有任何其他信息能消弭我們社會裡的紛爭。
23Faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of all belief and the conduit of divine power.
23對耶穌基督的信心是一切相信的基礎,也是神聖能力的管道。
24According to the Apostle Paul, “Without faith it is impossible to please [God]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
24使徒保羅這樣說:「人非有信,就不能得神的喜悅;因為到神面前來的人必須信有神,且信他賞賜那尋求他的人。」
25Everything good in life—every potential blessing of eternal significance—begins with faith.
25生命中的一切良善,一切具有永恆意義的潛在祝福,都從信心開始。
26-34
26Allowing God to prevail in our lives begins with faith that He is willing to guide us.
26要讓神在我們的生活中得勝,第一步就要相信:祂願意引導我們。
27True repentance begins with faith that Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse, heal, and strengthen us.
27要真正的悔改,第一步就是要有信心,相信耶穌基督有能力潔淨、醫治和加強我們。
28“Deny not the power of God,” the prophet Moroni declared, “for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men.”
28「不要否認神的大能,」先知摩羅乃宣告:「因為祂按照人類兒女的信心,憑大能行事。」
29It is our faith that unlocks the power of God in our lives.
29我們的信心,會在我們的生活中開啟神的能力。
30And yet, exercising faith can seem overwhelming.
30然而,運用信心有時看似令人不勝負荷。
31At times we may wonder if we can possibly muster enough faith to receive the blessings that we so desperately need.
31我們有時可能會猜想,自己是否能運用足夠的信心,來獲得我們深切渴望的祝福。
32However, the Lord put those fears to rest through the words of the Book of Mormon prophet Alma.
32但主透過摩爾門經先知阿爾瑪的話,平息了我們的恐懼。
33Alma asks us simply to experiment upon the word and “exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if [we] can no more than desire to believe.”
33阿爾瑪要我們做的,不過就是試驗神的話,並「運用些微的信心,是的,即使〔我們〕只有相信的願望」。
34The phrase “particle of faith” reminds me of the Lord’s biblical promise that if we “have faith as a grain of mustard seed,” we shall be able to “say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto [us].”
34這句「些微的信心」,讓我想到主在聖經裡的這項應許:「〔我們〕若有信心,像一粒芥菜種」,我們就能夠「對這座山說:『你從這邊挪到那邊』,它也必挪去;並且你們沒有一件不能做的事了。」
35-45
35The Lord understands our mortal weakness.
35主了解我們凡人的軟弱。
36We all falter at times.
36我們都有絆倒的時候,
37But He also knows of our great potential.
37但祂也知道我們巨大的潛能。
38The mustard seed starts small but grows into a tree large enough for birds to nest in its branches.
38芥菜種起初很微小,卻能長成大樹,讓鳥類在枝枒上築巢。
39The mustard seed represents a small but growing faith.
39芥菜種代表一份微小但正在成長的信心。
40The Lord does not require perfect faith for us to have access to His perfect power.
40主並不要求我們有完全的信心,才能得到祂完全的能力。
41But He does ask us to believe.
41但祂確實要我們相信。
42My dear brothers and sisters, my call to you this Easter morning is to start today to increase your faith.
42親愛的弟兄姊妹,在這復活節主日,我要呼籲各位,從今天起增強你們的信心。
43Through your faith, Jesus Christ will increase your ability to move the mountains in your life, even though your personal challenges may loom as large as Mount Everest.
43透過你們的信心,耶穌基督會增強你們的能力,來移動你們生活中的大山,即使你們個人的挑戰乍看之下像聖母峰那樣巨大。
44Your mountains may be loneliness, doubt, illness, or other personal problems.
44你們的大山可能是孤單、懷疑、疾病,或其他個人問題。
45Your mountains will vary, and yet the answer to each of your challenges is to increase your faith.
45你們的大山各有不同,但你們每一項挑戰的解答,是要增強你們的信心。
46-62
46That takes work.
46這需要很多心力。
47Lazy learners and lax disciples will always struggle to muster even a particle of faith.
47懶惰的學習者和散漫的門徒運用信心時總要經過一番掙扎,就算是些微的信心也一樣。
48To do anything well requires effort.
48要做好任何一件事都需要努力,
49Becoming a true disciple of Jesus Christ is no exception.
49要真正成為耶穌基督的門徒也不例外。
50Increasing your faith and trust in Him takes effort.
50要增強你對祂的信心和信賴,也要付出心力。
51May I offer five suggestions to help you develop that faith and trust.
51容我提出五項建議,來幫助你們培養那樣的信心和信賴。
52First, study.
52第一,要研讀。
53Become an engaged learner.
53成為主動參與的學習者。
54Immerse yourself in the scriptures to understand better Christ’s mission and ministry.
54將自己沉浸在經文,以更加了解基督的使命和傳道。
55Know the doctrine of Christ so that you understand its power for your life.
55認識基督的教義,以便能了解這教義在你生活中的力量。
56Internalize the truth that the Atonement of Jesus Christ applies to you.
56要內化這項真理,即:耶穌基督的贖罪適用於你。
57He took upon Himself your misery, your mistakes, your weakness, and your sins.
57祂親身承擔了你的不幸,你的錯誤,你的軟弱,和你的罪惡。
58He paid the compensatory price and provided the power for you to move every mountain you will ever face.
58祂償付了代價,為你提供了力量來移動你將面對的每一座大山。
59You obtain that power with your faith, trust, and willingness to follow Him.
59要獲得那力量,需要的是你的信心、信賴,和樂意跟從祂。
60Moving your mountains may require a miracle.
60要移動你的山,可能需要奇蹟。
61Learn about miracles.
61要了解奇蹟,
62Miracles come according to your faith in the Lord.
62奇蹟是根據你對主的信心而來。
63-71
63Central to that faith is trusting His will and timetable—how and when He will bless you with the miraculous help you desire.
63這種信心的核心就是信賴祂的旨意和時間表,信賴祂會照祂的方式和時間,使你蒙受你所渴望的奇蹟與協助。
64Only your unbelief will keep God from blessing you with miracles to move the mountains in your life.
64只有你的不信,才會讓神無法使你蒙受奇蹟,無法移動你生活中的大山。
65The more you learn about the Savior, the easier it will be to trust in His mercy, His infinite love, and His strengthening, healing, and redeeming power.
65你越認識救主,就會越容易信賴祂的慈悲、祂無盡的愛,以及祂那使人增加力量、帶來醫治和救贖的能力。
66The Savior is never closer to you than when you are facing or climbing a mountain with faith.
66救主最靠近你的時刻,莫過於在你運用信心來面對或攀登一座山的時刻。
67Second, choose to believe in Jesus Christ.
67第二,要選擇相信耶穌基督。
68If you have doubts about God the Father and His Beloved Son or the validity of the Restoration or the veracity of Joseph Smith’s divine calling as a prophet, choose to believe and stay faithful.
68即使你對父神和祂的愛子,對福音復興的真確性,或對約瑟·斯密身為先知的神聖召喚的真實性,心存懷疑,也要選擇相信,並要保持忠信。
69Take your questions to the Lord and to other faithful sources.
69把你的問題帶去求問主,和其他可靠的來源。
70Study with the desire to believe rather than with the hope that you can find a flaw in the fabric of a prophet’s life or a discrepancy in the scriptures.
70研讀時,要有相信的渴望,而不是想在先知的生平事蹟中找出瑕疵,或在經文中挑出矛盾。
71Stop increasing your doubts by rehearsing them with other doubters.
71不要和其他心存懷疑的人反覆揣摩這些疑點,來增加你的懷疑。
72-88
72Allow the Lord to lead you on your journey of spiritual discovery.
72要讓主帶領你進行靈性的探索之旅。
73Third, act in faith.
73第三,要憑著信心行動。
74What would you do if you had more faith?
74如果你有更多信心,你會做些什麼?
75Think about it.
75想想看,
76Write about it.
76寫下來!
77Then receive more faith by doing something that requires more faith.
77然後,去做一些需要更多信心的事,來獲得更多信心。
78Fourth, partake of sacred ordinances worthily.
78第四,要配稱地領受神聖教儀。
79Ordinances unlock the power of God for your life.
79教儀會在你的生活中開啟神的能力。
80And fifth, ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, for help.
80第五,要奉耶穌基督的名祈求天父幫助。
81Faith takes work.
81信心需要行為,
82Receiving revelation takes work.
82獲得啟示也需要行為,
83But “every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
83但是「凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就尋見;叩門的,就給他開門」。
84God knows what will help your faith grow.
84神知道哪些事有助於你增長信心。
85Ask, and then ask again.
85祈求,再祈求。
86A nonbeliever might say that faith is for the weak.
86不信的人會說,軟弱的人才需要信心。
87But this assertion overlooks the power of faith.
87但這樣的說法,忽略了信心的力量。
88Would the Savior’s Apostles have continued to teach His doctrine after His death, at the peril of their lives, if they had doubted Him?
88救主的使徒要是對祂心存懷疑,會在祂死後,冒著生命危險,繼續教導祂的教義嗎?
89-98
89Would Joseph and Hyrum Smith have suffered martyrs’ deaths defending the Restoration of the Lord’s Church unless they had a sure witness that it was true?
89約瑟和海侖·斯密若不是確信這是真實的,會甘願殉教,來護衛主的教會的復興嗎?
90Would nearly 2,000 Saints have died along the pioneer trail if they did not have faith that the gospel of Jesus Christ had been restored?
90將近2,000名聖徒若不是對耶穌基督的福音復興一事懷著信心,會甘願死在先驅者的路徑上嗎?
91Truly, faith is the power that enables the unlikely to accomplish the impossible.
91確實,信心是一種力量,能夠使得意想不到的人,完成不可能的事。
92Do not minimize the faith you already have.
92不要把你已經有的信心看得微不足道。
93It takes faith to join the Church and remain faithful.
93加入教會,保持忠信,需要信心。
94It takes faith to follow prophets rather than pundits and popular opinion.
94跟隨先知,而非專家和民意,需要信心。
95It takes faith to serve a mission during a pandemic.
95在疫情當中去傳教,需要信心。
96It takes faith to live a chaste life when the world shouts that God’s law of chastity is now outmoded.
96當世人喧嚷著神的貞潔律法已經過時,卻仍過著貞潔的生活,需要信心。
97It takes faith to teach the gospel to children in a secular world.
97在這世俗的世界教導孩童福音,需要信心。
98It takes faith to plead for the life of a loved one and even more faith to accept a disappointing answer.
98懇求親人的生命得以保全,需要信心;接受令人失望的答案,則需要更多的信心。
99-109
99Two years ago, Sister Nelson and I visited Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, and Tahiti.
99兩年時,我和納爾遜姊妹造訪了薩摩亞、東加、斐濟和大溪地。
100Each of those island nations had experienced heavy rains for days.
100這幾個島嶼國家都一連下了好幾天的傾盆大雨。
101Members had fasted and prayed that their outdoor meetings would be protected from the rain.
101成員禁食祈禱,希望他們的戶外聚會能受到保護,不受雨水侵擾。
102In Samoa, Fiji, and Tahiti, just as the meetings began, the rain stopped.
102在薩摩亞、斐濟和大溪地,聚會一開始,雨就停了。
103But in Tonga, the rain did not stop.
103但在東加,雨一直沒停。
104Yet 13,000 faithful Saints came hours early to get a seat, waited patiently through a steady downpour, and then sat through a very wet two-hour meeting.
104然而那13,000名忠信的聖徒仍提前數小時入座,在持續不斷的大雨中耐心等候,然後在座位上參加兩小時溼答答的聚會。
105We saw vibrant faith at work among each of those islanders—faith sufficient to stop the rain and faith to persevere when the rain did not stop.
105我們在每座島嶼的人民身上,見到了朝氣蓬勃的信心——有足夠的信心讓雨停下,而當雨下個不停時,也有信心堅持下去。
106The mountains in our lives do not always move how or when we would like.
106我們生活中的大山,未必會依照我們想要的方式或時間移開,
107But our faith will always propel us forward.
107但我們的信心永遠都會驅動我們前進。
108Faith always increases our access to godly power.
108信心永遠都會讓我們更能獲得屬神的能力。
109Please know this: if everything and everyone else in the world whom you trust should fail, Jesus Christ and His Church will never fail you.
109要知道:就算這世界上你信賴的每件事、每個人都背棄了你,耶穌基督和祂的教會也永遠不會背棄你。
110-122
110The Lord never slumbers, nor does He sleep.
110主決不打盹,也不睡覺。
111He “is the same yesterday, today, and [tomorrow].”
111祂「昨日、今日、〔明日〕、永遠都一樣的」。
112He will not forsake His covenants, His promises, or His love for His people.
112祂必不毀棄祂的聖約、祂的應許,或祂對祂人民的愛。
113He works miracles today, and He will work miracles tomorrow.
113祂在今日行奇蹟,祂也會在明日行奇蹟。
114Faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest power available to us in this life.
114對耶穌基督的信心,是我們今生所能獲得的最大力量。
115All things are possible to them that believe.
115在信的人,凡事都能。
116Your growing faith in Him will move mountains—not the mountains of rock that beautify the earth but the mountains of misery in your lives.
116你們對祂的信心不斷成長,將能夠移開大山——不是移開美麗的岩石山脈——而是你生活中的悲慘山脈。
117Your flourishing faith will help you turn challenges into unparalleled growth and opportunity.
117你們愈發茁壯的信心,會幫助你將挑戰化為無可比擬的成長和機會。
118On this Easter Sunday, with my deep feelings of love and gratitude, I declare my witness that Jesus Christ is indeed risen.
118在這復活節主日,我懷著深摯的愛與感激,再次宣告我的見證:基督確實已復生。
119He is risen to lead His Church.
119祂已復生,為了帶領祂的教會。
120He is risen to bless the lives of all of God’s children, wherever they live.
120祂已復生,為了祝福神所有兒女的生活,無論他們住在何處。
121With faith in Him, we can move the mountains in our lives.

122I so testify in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
122我如此見證,奉耶穌基督的聖名,阿們。
