Acts 3

1 One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

1 一天，在下午三点祷告的时间，彼得和约翰去圣殿。

2 And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.

2 有一个生来瘸腿的人天天被人抬到圣殿美门的外面，向进殿的人乞讨。

3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.

3 他看见彼得和约翰要进殿，就求他们施舍。

4 Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.

4 二人定睛看他，彼得说：“看着我们！”

5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

5 那人就紧盯着他们，指望得些什么。

6 But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

6 彼得说：“金子、银子我都没有，但是我把我有的给你。我奉拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名，命令你起来行走！”

7 Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

7 彼得拉着他的右手扶他起来，那人的双脚和踝骨立刻变得强壮有力。

8 He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.

8 他跳了起来，站稳后开始行走，跟着彼得和约翰进入圣殿，走着跳着赞美上帝。

9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,

9 大家看见他一边走一边赞美上帝，

10 they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

10 认出他就是那个坐在圣殿美门外面的乞丐，都为发生在他身上的事而感到惊奇、诧异。

11 While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.

11 那乞丐在所罗门廊下正紧紧拉着彼得和约翰的时候，众人都跑过来，大为惊奇。

12 And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

12 彼得看见这情形，就对大家说：“以色列人啊，何必惊奇呢？为什么一直盯着我们呢？你们以为我们是凭自己的能力和虔诚叫这人行走吗？

13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

13 亚伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝，雅各的上帝，就是我们祖先的上帝，已经使祂的仆人耶稣得了荣耀。你们把耶稣交给彼拉多，尽管彼拉多想释放祂，你们却在彼拉多面前弃绝祂！

14 You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

14 你们弃绝了那圣洁公义者，竟然要求彼拉多给你们释放一个凶手。

15 You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact.

15 你们杀了生命之主，上帝却使祂从死里复活了。我们都是这事的见证人。

16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.

16 你们认识的这个乞丐因为相信耶稣的名，得到了医治。你们都看见了，他能痊愈是因为他信耶稣。

17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

17 “弟兄们，我知道你们的所作所为是出于无知，你们的官长也是一样。

18 But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.

18 但是上帝早已借众先知预言基督要受害，这事果然应验了。

19 Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

19 所以你们要悔改，归向上帝，祂将除去你们的罪恶，

20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

20 赐给你们焕然一新的日子，也将差遣祂预先为你们选立的基督耶稣降临。

21 Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

21 基督必须留在天上，直到万物更新的时候，这是上帝自古以来借圣先知的口说的。

22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.

22 摩西曾经说，‘主——你们的上帝要在你们中间兴起一位像我一样的先知。你们要留心听祂说的一切话，

23 Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’

23 凡不听的，必从民中被彻底铲除。’

24 Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.

24 “从撒母耳到后来的所有先知都宣告过这些日子。

25 And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’

25 你们是先知的子孙，也继承了上帝和你们祖先所立的约。上帝曾对亚伯拉罕说，‘天下万族必因你的后裔而蒙福。’

26 When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”

26 上帝兴起祂的仆人，首先差遣祂到你们中间赐福给你们，使你们每个人都脱离罪恶。”
