起誓

And it will be to them like a false divination in their eyes; they have sworn solemn oaths.

结21：23据那些曾起誓的犹大人看来、这是虚假的占卜。

How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.

你们告诉他们、耶和华说、我指著我的永生起誓、我必要照你们达到我耳中的话待你们。

As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will rule over you with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath.

主耶和华说、我指著我的永生起誓、我总要作王、用大能的手、和伸出来的膀臂、并倾出来的忿怒治理你们。

As I live, says the Lord GOD, because my sheep have been given over to pillage, and because my sheep have become food for every wild beast, for lack of a shepherd; because my shepherds did not look after my sheep, but pastured themselves and did not pasture my sheep

我指着我的生命起誓──吾主上主的断语──因为我的羊群由于没有牧者，成了猎物；我的羊群成了一切野兽的食物，因为我的牧者不寻找我的羊，只知牧养自己，而不牧养我的羊

The harmless, inoffensive, and unsuspecting creatures, are so devoted to the Prophet, and the cause of Jesus Christ, that they do not dream of the deep laid and fatal scheme which prostrates happiness, and renders death itself desireable; but they meet him, expecting to receive through him a blessing, and learn the will of the Lord concerning them, and what awaits the faithful follower of Joseph, the Apostle and Prophet of God, When in the stead thereof, they are told, after having been sworn in one of the most solemn manners, to never divulge what is revealed to them, with a penalty of death attached that God Almighty has revealed it to him, that she should be his Spiritual wife; for it was right anciently,and God will tolerate it again: but we must keep those pleasures and blessings form the world , for until there is a change in the government, we will end anger ourselves by practicing it-but we can enjoy the blessings of Jacob, David, and others, as well as to be deprived of them, if we do not expose ourselves to the law of the land.

这些不伤害不具攻击性和不疑有她的受造物们这麼地奉献给先知和耶稣基督的缘故，她们没有梦想这深深隐藏和致死的阴谋会屈绝快乐和将死亡粉饰得可悦；她们会见他，期待从他得到祝福，并且从他学习神关於她们的心意。但等待著约瑟这个神的先知和使徒的跟随者的却是在最庄严的起誓决不泄漏显示的内容否则愿遭死亡惩罚后被告知全能的神向他启示她应该做他的属灵妻子。因为古早以前不是错事，现在神又再次允许。但是我们必须保持这个欢娱和祝福不让世界知道，直到政府更改，否则我们会因著实行它而带愤怒到我们身上。我们可以享受雅各、大卫和其他人的福份，但是我们也可以被剥夺，只要我们不暴露我们在这地的法律之前。

I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

现在你可以相信我，我对你起誓

Didn't I tell you as the time might come when you'd be called upon to bear witness about it, and put upon your Bible oath about it?

难道我没有告诉过你，有朝一日，会叫你去作证的，会叫你把手按在《圣经》上起誓的？

The witness placed her hand on the Bible and took the oath.

证人把手放在《圣经》上起誓。

Would you be willing to swear before a judge and javaced your hand on the Good Book and taken an oath before Almighty God Himself?

&你能在法官和陪审团面前发誓吗？你能把你的手放在圣经上面当着万能的上帝起誓吗？&

Would you be willing to swear before a judge and jury...having placed your hand on the Good Book and taken an oath before Almighty God Himself?

&你能在法官和陪审团面前发誓吗？你能把你的手放在圣经上面当着万能的上帝起誓吗？&

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down

屈膝跪下。。。下跪祈祷
