Job 1:20 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped.约伯便起来，撕裂外袍，剃了头，伏在地上下拜，Job 1:21 And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."说：“我赤身出于母胎，也必赤身归回。赏赐的是耶和华，收取的也是耶和华；耶和华的名是应当称颂的。”Job 1:22 In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.在这一切的事上，约伯并不犯罪，也不以神为愚妄(或作“也不妄评神”)。

Job 1:16 "While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."他还说话的时候，又有人来说：“​神从天上降下火来，将群羊和仆人都烧灭了；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”Job 1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, "The Chaldeans formed three groups and made a raid on the camels and took them and struck down the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."他还说话的时候，又有人来说：“迦勒底人分作三队，忽然闯来， 把骆驼掳去，并用刀杀了仆人；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”Job 1:18 "While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,"他还说话的时候，又有人来说：“你的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒；Job 1:19 and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you."不料，有狂风从旷野刮来，击打房屋的四角，房屋倒塌在少年人身上，他们就都死了；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”

Job 1:13 "Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house," 有一天，约伯的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒， Job 1:14 "and there came a messenger to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them," 有报信的来见约伯说：“牛正耕地，驴在旁边吃草， Job 1:15 "and the Sabeans fell upon them and took them and struck down the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you." 示巴人忽然闯来，把牲畜掳去，并用刀杀了仆人；惟有我一人逃脱，来报信给你。”

Job 1:9 "Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for no reason?"撒但回答耶和华说：“约伯敬畏​神，岂是无故呢？Job 1:10 "Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land."你岂不是四面圈上篱笆围护他和他的家，并他一切所有的吗？他手所作的，都蒙你赐福；他的家产也在地上增多。Job 1:11 "But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face."你且伸手，毁他一切所有的；他必当面弃掉你。”Job 1:12 "And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD."耶和华对撒但说：“凡他所有的，都在你手中；只是不可伸手加害于他。”于是撒但从耶和华面前退去。

Job 1:6 "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them."有一天，​神的众子来侍立在耶和华面前，撒但也来在其中。Job 1:7 "The LORD said to Satan, "From where have you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."耶和华问撒但说：“你从哪里来？”撒但回答说：“我从地上走来走去，往返而来。”Job 1:8 "And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?"耶和华问撒但说：“你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有？地上再没有人象他完全正直，敬畏​神，远离恶事。”

Lesson 2982 4th July 2026Job 1:1 "There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil."乌斯地，有一个人名叫约伯，那人完全正直，敬畏 神，远离恶事。Job 1:2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.他生了七个儿子，三个女儿。Job 1:3 "He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east."他的家产有七千羊，三千骆驼，五百对牛，五百母驴，并有许多仆婢。这人在东方人中就为至大。Job 1:4 "His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them."他的儿子按着日子，各在自己家里设摆筵宴，就打发人去，请了他们的三个姐妹来，与他们一同吃喝，Job 1:5 "And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually."筵宴的日子过了，约伯打发人去叫他们自洁。他清早起来，按着他们众人的数目献燔祭；因为他说：“恐怕我儿子犯了罪，心中弃掉神。”约伯常常这样行。

Lesson 2981 3rd July 2026Est 10:1 King Ahasuerus imposed tax on the land and on the coastlands of the sea.亚哈随鲁王使旱地和海岛的人民都进贡。Est 10:2 "And all the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the high honor of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?"他以权柄能力所行的，并他抬举末底改使他高升的事，岂不都写在玛代和波斯王的历史上吗？Est 10:3 "For Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Ahasuerus, and he was great among the Jews and popular with the multitude of his brothers, for he sought the welfare of his people and spoke peace to all his people."犹大人末底改作亚哈随鲁王的宰相，在犹大人中为大，得他众弟兄的喜悦，为本族的人求好处，向他们说和平的话。

Est 9:29 Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew gave full written authority, confirming this second letter about Purim.亚比孩的女儿王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改，以全权写第二封信，坚嘱犹大人守这普珥日。Est 9:30 Letters were sent to all the Jews, to the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, in words of peace and truth,用和平、诚实话，写信给亚哈随鲁王国中，一百二十七省所有的犹大人。Est 9:31 that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated them, and as they had obligated themselves and their offspring, with regard to their fasts and their lamenting.劝他们按时守这普珥日，禁食呼求，是照犹大人末底改和王后以斯帖所嘱咐的，也照犹大人为自己与后裔所应承的。Est 9:32 The command of Queen Esther confirmed these practices of Purim, and it was recorded in writing.以斯帖命定守普珥日，这事也记录在书上。

Lesson 2979 1st July 2026Est 9:26 "Therefore they called these days Purim, after the term Pur. Therefore, because of all that was written in this letter, and of what they had faced in this matter, and of what had happened to them,"照着普珥的名字，犹大人就称这两日为普珥日。他们因这信上的话，又因所看见所遇见的事，Est 9:27 "the Jews firmly obligated themselves and their offspring and all who joined them, that without fail they would keep these two days according to what was written and at the time appointed every year,"就应承自己与后裔，并归附他们的人，每年按时必守这两日，永远不废。Est 9:28 "that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, in every clan, province, and city, and that these days of Purim should never fall into disuse among the Jews, nor should the commemoration of these days cease among their descendants."各省各城，家家户户，世世代代纪念遵守这两日，使这普珥日在犹大人中不可废掉，在他们后裔中也不可忘记。

Est 9:23 "So the Jews accepted what they had started to do, and what Mordecai had written to them." 于是犹大人按着末底改所写与他们的信，应承照初次所守的守为永例。 Est 9:24 "For Haman the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is, cast lots), to crush and to destroy them." 是因犹大人的仇敌，亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼，设谋杀害犹大人，掣普珥，就是掣签，为要杀尽灭绝他们。 Est 9:25 "But when it came before the king, he gave orders in writing that his evil plan that he had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows." 这事报告于王，王便降旨使哈曼谋害犹大人的恶事，归到他自己的头上，并吩咐把他和他的众子，都挂在木架上。

Est 9:20 "And Mordecai recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,"末底改记录这事，写信与亚哈随鲁王各省远近所有的犹大人，Est 9:21 "obliging them to keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and also the fifteenth day of the same, year by year,"嘱咐他们每年守亚达月十四、十五两日。Est 9:22 "as the days on which the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, days for sending gifts of food to one another and gifts to the poor."以这月的两日为犹大人脱离仇敌得平安，转忧为喜，转悲为乐的吉日。在这两日设筵欢乐，彼此馈送礼物，周济穷人。
