あの奇妙な建物の中に入った人々の数は非常に多かった。彼らはその建物に入ると、わたしやほかにその実を食べていた人々を指差してあざけり笑った。しかしわたしたちは、彼らのことを気に留めなかった。　ニーファイ第一章８：３３ And there was a great multitude that did enter into that strange building.  And after they did enter into that building they did point the finger of scorn at me and those that were partaking of the fruit also; but we heeded them not.  1 Nephi 8:33 In one of the first great events in the Book of Mormon is Lehi’s vision of the Tree of Life.  In this vision, the prophet Lehi was shown a tree whose fruit “was desirable to make one happy”.  Lehi was told that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God.  モルモン書には素晴らしい出来事が載っていますがこのリーハイの命の木の示現もその一つです。この示現で預言者リーハイはその​​実が「​人​を​幸せ​に​する​好しい​もの​で​あった」ことを見、その命の木は神の愛を象徴していると教わりました。 In his vision, Lehi saw many other things, including a straight and narrow path that led to the tree, a rod of iron, a river of water, and a large and spacious building. この示現でリーハイはその木に続く真っすぐで狭い道や鉄の棒、水の流れている川、大きく広々とした建物など多くのものを見ました。 The large and […]
