John 12

1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

1 逾越节前六天，耶稣来到伯大尼，就是祂叫拉撒路从死里复活的那个村子。

2 So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.

2 村里有人为耶稣预备了晚饭，拉撒路也与耶稣同席，玛大在旁边伺候。

3 Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

3 玛丽亚拿出一瓶 珍贵的纯哪哒香膏来抹耶稣的脚，又用自己的头发去擦，屋里充满了香气。

4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,

4 有一个门徒，就是将要出卖耶稣的加略人犹大说：

5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”

5 “为什么不把香膏卖三百个银币 去周济穷人呢？”

6 Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.

6 他这样说不是因为他真的关心穷人，而是因为他是个贼，负责保管钱袋，常从中偷拿财物。

7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.

7 耶稣说：“由她吧！她这是为我安葬作预备。

8 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”

8 因为你们身边总会有穷人，可是你们身边不会总有我。”

9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

9 有许多犹太人知道耶稣在那里，就来看祂，不单是为了看耶稣，也想看看从死里复活的拉撒路。

10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,

10 于是，祭司长计划连拉撒路也杀掉，

11 for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.

11 因为有许多犹太人因为拉撒路的缘故离开他们，去信了耶稣。

12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

12 第二天，很多上来过节的人听见耶稣快到耶路撒冷了，

13 They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”

13 就拿着棕树枝出去迎接祂，高喊道： “和散那！” “奉主名来的以色列王当受称颂！”

14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:

14 那时，耶稣找到一头驴驹，就骑上它，正如圣经记载：

15 “Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”

15 “少女锡安啊，不要害怕！ 看啊，你的君王骑着驴驹来了。”

16 At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.

16 起初门徒不明白这些事，耶稣得了荣耀之后，他们才想起圣经上这些有关耶稣的记载果然在祂身上应验了。

17 Meanwhile, many people who had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.

17 那些亲眼看见耶稣叫拉撒路复活、走出坟墓的人不断传扬这件事。

18 That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

18 众人因为听说耶稣行了这神迹，都去迎接祂。

19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”

19 法利赛人彼此议论说：“我们真是枉费心思！看啊，整个世界都跟着祂跑了。”

20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

20 有几个希腊人也在节期上耶路撒冷敬拜。

21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

21 他们去见加利利的伯赛大人腓力，请求说：“先生，我们想见见耶稣。”

22 Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.

22 腓力把这件事告诉安得烈，二人去转告耶稣。

23 But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

23 耶稣说：“人子得荣耀的时候到了。

24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

24 我实实在在地告诉你们，一粒麦子如果不落在地里死了，仍是一粒，如果死了，就会结出许多麦粒来。

25 Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

25 爱惜自己生命的，会失掉生命；憎恶自己今世生命的，必保住生命，直到永生。

26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

26 谁要事奉我，就要跟从我。我在哪里，事奉我的人也要在哪里。我父必尊重事奉我的人。

27 Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.

27 “我现在心里忧伤，说什么才好呢？求父救我离开这个时刻吗？然而，我原是为这个时刻来的。

28 Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

28 父啊！愿你使自己的名得荣耀！” 当时天上有声音说：“我已使自己的名得了荣耀，并且还要得荣耀。”

29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

29 站在那里的人群中有人听见后，就说：“打雷了！”也有人说：“是天使在跟祂说话。”

30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.

30 耶稣说：“这声音不是为我发出的，是为你们发出的。

31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.

31 现在是这世界受审判的时候，这世界的王 要被赶出去了。

32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”

32 至于我，当我从地上被举起来时，必吸引万人归向我。”

33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.

33 耶稣这句话指的是祂会怎样死。

34 The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

34 众人问：“我们从律法书上知道，基督是永远长存的，你怎么说‘人子必须被举起来’呢？这人子是谁呢？”

35 Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

35 耶稣对他们说：“光在你们中间照耀的时候不多了，你们要趁着有光的时候走路，免得黑暗临到你们。走在黑暗里的人不知道要往哪里去。

36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.

36 所以你们当趁着有光的时候信从光，好成为光明的儿女。” 耶稣说完后，便离开他们，隐藏起来。

37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.

37 耶稣虽然在他们面前行了许多神迹，他们还是不信祂。

38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

38 这是要应验以赛亚先知的话： “主啊，谁相信我们所传的呢？主的臂膀向谁彰显呢？”

39 For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:

39 接着，以赛亚又说出他们不能信的缘故：

40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”

40 “主使他们眼瞎、心硬， 免得他们眼睛看见， 心里明白，回心转意， 就被我医治。”

41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.

41 以赛亚看见了祂的荣耀，所以才这样说。

42 Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.

42 虽然这样，仍有很多犹太的官员信了耶稣，只是在法利赛人面前不敢公开承认，因为害怕会被赶出会堂。

43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

43 因为他们爱从世人而来的荣耀，胜过爱从上帝而来的荣耀。

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.

44 耶稣高声说：“信我的，不只是信我，而是信差我来的那位。

45 And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

45 人看见了我，就是看见了差我来的那位。

46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.

46 我来是要作世界的光，好叫信我的人脱离黑暗。

47 As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

47 听了我的话却不遵守的人，我不审判他，因为我来不是要审判世人，而是要拯救世人。

48 There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

48 弃绝我、不接受我话的人将受审判，我讲过的道在末日要审判他，

49 I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.

49 因为我不是凭自己讲的，我说什么、讲什么都是差我来的父吩咐的。

50 And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”

50 我知道祂的命令能带来永生。所以祂怎么告诉我，我就怎么说。”
