沒想到文章一出街，迴響竟然這麼大，小編還真的始料不及，此經外卷還未有全面翻譯為中文，小編認為是對於基督教圈的中文使用者來說，是一個莫大損失，但說句實話，這種文獻對某類型的基督徒來說是會覺得是毒藥，會排擠這類文章，例如「唯讀聖經」那類型的基督徒，其實這類文章實在不太推薦給他們；信主年日尚淺、連聖經新舊約都未看夠一次的信徒，小編也不建議他們讀這類型文章。它只是一卷經外卷，若果這卷書和閣下的堂會的神學觀有矛盾的，甚至乎可以直接忽略這份文獻，畢竟經外卷是指那些「不在正典(canon)」也「不在次正典(apocrypha)」的書目中。
(門徒事工急需事奉人手，誠邀加入！)
但正如「散會時代」所言，華人基督教正與普世基督教進行分割，「歷史虛無主義」就是分割之後的產物，華人基督教傾向把「神沉默了四百年」的「推論」變成了「真理」，神不在歷史中發聲嗎？只不過是你們迴避而故作聽不見而已，繼續裝睡吧，反正小編不會亦不能阻止。
另外：feast of the dedication drew (1:7)應該譯作光明節抽籤，然而在麥尼西亞會議中，(猶太拉比正典會議)，不承認馬喀比一、二書為正典，故小編直接意譯，譯作「祭籤」。
再另外：建基於這類文章的歷史背景是在兩約之間，而兩約之間的以馬喀比革命分開兩半，革命以前編者徧向用「耶和華」為主要稱呼，而革命後，編者徧向使用「神」為主要稱呼，所以就出現「在神眼中看為正的事」這種「奇怪」的句式。
另另外：有信徒想把經外典與正典看齊，但可惜，如果真的是看齊了，那麼在1600多年前的會議上，理論上已經上位成正典了。
最後的另外：「花生書友」故名曰「食花生」、「伴讀」、「朋友」的意思，也很喜歡把一些別人認為沒有價值的事物，再發掘其價值。
1 An angel appears to Joachim, and informs him that Anna shall conceive and bring forth a daughter, who shall be called Mary, be brought up in the temple, and while yet a virgin, in a way unparalleled, bring forth the Son of God: gives him a sign, and departs.
BUT when he had been there for some time, on a certain day when he was alone, the angel of the Lord stood by him with a prodigious light.
有天使向約雅敬顯現，知會他，他的妻子安娜將會懷孕，并誕下一個女兒，應命名為瑪利亞，把她帶進聖殿中，在她還作處女的時候，將會極大榮耀的，為神生下兒子：給他兆頭，然後離去。
但他停留在這裡好些日子，這些日子他孤獨中渡過了，神的使者在大光中與他同在。
2 To whom, being troubled at the appearance, the angel who had appeared to him, endeavouring to compose him said:
要他在眾人面前公開露面，這使他感到憂慮，天使顯現在他面前，對他說鼓勵的話，堅固他，說：
3 Be not afraid, Joachim, nor troubled at the sight of me, for I am an angel of the Lord sent by him to you, that I might inform you, that your prayers are heard, and your alms ascended in the sight of God.
不要怕，約雅敬，不要因你與我見面而感到困囿，我是從神而來的使者到你面前，讓你知道，你的禱告和你的賙濟已經到達神的面前。(參徒10:4下)
4 For he hath surely seen your shame, and heard you unjustly reproached for not having children: for God is the avenger of sin, and not of nature;
因祂已經清楚你的羞恥，在不育下不義的被批評：因為神與罪惡並不相通，而且不屬於這個世界；
5 And so when he shuts the womb of any person, he does it for this reason, that he may in a more wonderful manner again open it, and that which is born appear to be not the product of lust, but the gift of God.
當祂停止了一個人的生育，原因是為了捶錬他，(或許能)讓他擁有更美好的人格，再為他開路，那一位從他而生的，就不是因污穢(或作順從情慾/肉體的)而生的，就是神的禮物了。
6 For the first mother of your nation Sarah, was she not barren even till her eightieth year: And yet even in the end of her old age brought forth Isaac, in whom the promise was made a blessing to all nations.
誕下你們列祖之母撒拉，不育了八十多個年頭：在她晚年將近過身之時，就生了以撒，成為了列國的祝福。
7 Rachel also, so much in favour with God, and beloved so much by holy Jacob, continued barren for a long time, yet afterwards was the mot her of Joseph, who was not only governor of Egypt, but delivered many nations from perishing with hunger.
拉結，為神所喜悅，與雅各相愛，不育良久，才生下了約瑟，他不單成為了埃及的宰相，而且為列國供應糧食，解決了飢荒。
8 Who among the judges was more valiant than Samson, or more holy than Samuel? And yet both their mothers were barren.
眾士師中，有誰比參孫更勇猛？比撒母耳更分別為聖？他們的母親也都曾經不育。
9 But if reason will not convince you of the truth of my words, that there are frequent conceptions in advanced years, and that those who were barren have brought forth to their great surprise; therefore Anna your wife shall bring you a daughter, and you shall call her name Mary;
如果以上的原因仍未讓你見證我所說的話是真的，但在古時的年日中，這些事已經應驗多次了，這讓不育的夫婦得到大大的安慰(或驚喜)；所以你的妻子安娜將會為你帶來女兒，你要給她起名叫馬利亞。
10 She shall, according to your vow, be devoted to the Lord from her infancy, and be filled with the Holy Ghost from her mother’s familywomb;
她要按你所起的誓，在幼年時歸給神，在她的母親肚中被聖靈充滿。
11 She shall neither eat nor drink anything which is unclean, nor shall her conversation be without among the common people, but in the temple of the Lord; that so she may not fall under any slander or suspicion of what is bad.
一切不潔之物她都不可吃，也不可飲，說話的對象也不能是一般人，只能在殿中向神傾心吐意；這讓她就不致於落入壞事的網羅之中。(另譯：被誹謗或嫌疑於所有壞事之中)
12 So in the process of her years, as she shall be in a miraculous manner born of one that was barren, so she shall, while yet a virgin, in a way unparalleled, bring forth the Son of the most High God, who shall, be called Jesus, and, according to the signification of his name, be the Saviour of all nations.
而她在這些年間，因為她是在不育的婦人中出世，所以在她還作處女之時，就是列祖還沒有發生過這種事情，為至高者生出兒子，他必起名叫耶穌，這是一個偉大的名字，他必作列國的救世主。
13 And this shall be a sign to you of the things which I declare, namely, when you come to the golden gate of Jerusalem, you shall there meet your wife Anna, who being very much troubled that you returned no sooner, shall then rejoice to see you.
我會給你作一個兆頭，當你再次回去耶路撒冷城的美門，你會遇上你的妻子安娜，對你還未回家之事感到困囿，高興的與你再次相遇。
14 When the angel had said this he departed from him.
說完這些話之後，天使就離開了他。
編者按：事情到了馬利亞的父親希里為了逃避眾人的口，於是乎獨自一人避到荒野之中，天使向他顯現，對他說預言(未來的劇透)，引用了大量的舊約經卷如創世記、士師記、撒母耳記等。
看見有讀者不明白為什麼路加福音的希里會在這裡叫做約雅敬，小編覺得還是要看讀者的接受程度，接受不了的信徒，小編還是覺得應該放棄這卷書。當然，列王記有很多史例說明一個人可以有兩個名字：所羅門王未做王之前叫耶底底亞，西底嘉未作王之前叫尼探雅。未有職分前一個名，有職分之後就另一個名。對信徒來說應該并不陌生。另外，第一章時兩個大祭司作出不同的審判決定，表達出當時大祭司的判決并不按照利未記和申命記的法治而只按大祭司當時的心情，顯露出人治的可恥。
「聖安娜」賣蛋糕的舖頭嘛，聖安娜就是指着主耶穌母親的母親安娜。
靈修分享：神錘錬希里，也在不同的事情上錘錬小編，求主堅固小子像堅固希里一般。「鼎為煉銀，爐為煉金；惟有耶和華熬煉人心。」箴言 17:3
