Luke 11

1 One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

1 耶稣在一个地方祷告；祷告完了，有个门徒对他说：「求主教导我们祷告，像约翰教导他的门徒。」

2 So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

2 耶稣说：「你们祷告的时候，要说： 我们在天上的父 ： 愿人都尊你的名为圣。 愿你的国降临； 愿你的旨意行在地上， 如同行在天上 。

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

3 我们日用的饮食， 天天赐给我们。

4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

4 赦免我们的罪， 因为我们也赦免凡亏欠我们的人。 不叫我们遇见试探； 救我们脱离凶恶 。」

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

5 耶稣又说：「你们中间谁有一个朋友半夜到他那里去，说：『朋友！请借给我三个饼；

6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

6 因为我有一个朋友行路，来到我这里，我没有什么给他摆上。』

7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

7 那人在里面回答说：『不要搅扰我，门已经关闭，孩子们也同我在床上了，我不能起来给你。』

8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

8 我告诉你们，虽不因他是朋友起来给他，但因他情词迫切地直求，就必起来照他所需用的给他。

9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

9 我又告诉你们，你们祈求，就给你们；寻找，就寻见；叩门，就给你们开门。

10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

10 因为，凡祈求的，就得着；寻找的，就寻见；叩门的，就给他开门。

11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

11 你们中间作父亲的，谁有儿子求饼，反给他石头呢？求鱼，反拿蛇当鱼给他呢？

12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

12 求鸡蛋，反给他蝎子呢？

13 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

13 你们虽然不好，尚且知道拿好东西给儿女；何况天父，岂不更将圣灵给求他的人吗？」

14 One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

14 耶稣赶出一个叫人哑巴的鬼；鬼出去了，哑巴就说出话来；众人都希奇。

15 but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

15 内中却有人说：「他是靠着鬼王别西卜赶鬼。」

16 And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

16 又有人试探耶稣，向他求从天上来的神迹。

17 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

17 他晓得他们的意念，便对他们说：「凡一国自相纷争，就成为荒场；凡一家自相纷争，就必败落。

18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

18 若撒但自相纷争，他的国怎能站得住呢？因为你们说我是靠着别西卜赶鬼。

19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

19 我若靠着别西卜赶鬼，你们的子弟赶鬼又靠着谁呢？这样，他们就要断定你们的是非。

20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

20 我若靠着 神的能力赶鬼，这就是 神的国临到你们了。

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

21 壮士披挂整齐，看守自己的住宅，他所有的都平安无事；

22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

22 但有一个比他更壮的来，胜过他，就夺去他所倚靠的盔甲兵器，又分了他的赃。

23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

23 不与我相合的，就是敌我的；不同我收聚的，就是分散的。」

24 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

24 「污鬼离了人身，就在无水之地过来过去，寻求安歇之处；既寻不着，便说：『我要回到我所出来的屋里去。』

25 On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

25 到了，就看见里面打扫干净，修饰好了，

26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

26 便去另带了七个比自己更恶的鬼来，都进去住在那里。那人末后的景况比先前更不好了。」

27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

27 耶稣正说这话的时候，众人中间有一个女人大声说：「怀你胎的和乳养你的有福了！」

28 But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

28 耶稣说：「是，却还不如听 神之道而遵守的人有福。」

29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

29 当众人聚集的时候，耶稣开讲说：「这世代是一个邪恶的世代。他们求看神迹，除了约拿的神迹以外，再没有神迹给他们看。

30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

30 约拿怎样为尼尼微人成了神迹，人子也要照样为这世代的人成了神迹。

31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

31 当审判的时候，南方的女王要起来定这世代的罪；因为她从地极而来，要听所罗门的智慧话。看哪，在这里有一人比所罗门更大。

32 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

32 当审判的时候，尼尼微人要起来定这世代的罪，因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了。看哪，在这里有一人比约拿更大。」

33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

33 「没有人点灯放在地窨子里，或是斗底下，总是放在灯台上，使进来的人得见亮光。

34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

34 你眼睛就是身上的灯。你的眼睛若了亮，全身就光明；眼睛若昏花，全身就黑暗。

35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

35 所以，你要省察，恐怕你里头的光或者黑暗了。

36 So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

36 若是你全身光明，毫无黑暗，就必全然光明，如同灯的明光照亮你。」

37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

37 说话的时候，有一个法利赛人请耶稣同他吃饭，耶稣就进去坐席。

38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

38 这法利赛人看见耶稣饭前不洗手便诧异。

39 Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

39 主对他说：「如今你们法利赛人洗净杯盘的外面，你们里面却满了勒索和邪恶。

40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

40 无知的人哪，造外面的，不也造里面吗？

41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

41 只要把里面的施舍给人，凡物于你们就都洁净了。

42 Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

42 「你们法利赛人有祸了！因为你们将薄荷、芸香并各样菜蔬献上十分之一，那公义和爱 神的事反倒不行了。这原是你们当行的；那也是不可不行的。

43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

43 你们法利赛人有祸了！因为你们喜爱会堂里的首位，又喜爱人在街市上问你们的安。

44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

44 你们有祸了！因为你们如同不显露的坟墓，走在上面的人并不知道。」

45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

45 律法师中有一个回答耶稣说：「夫子！你这样说也把我们糟蹋了。」

46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

46 耶稣说：「你们律法师也有祸了！因为你们把难担的担子放在人身上，自己一个指头却不肯动。

47 Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

47 你们有祸了！因为你们修造先知的坟墓，那先知正是你们的祖宗所杀的。

48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

48 可见你们祖宗所做的事，你们又证明又喜欢；因为他们杀了先知，你们修造先知的坟墓。

49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

49 所以 神用智慧 曾说：『我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去，有的他们要杀害，有的他们要逼迫』，

50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

50 使创世以来所流众先知血的罪都要问在这世代的人身上，

51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

51 就是从亚伯的血起，直到被杀在坛和殿中间撒迦利亚的血为止。我实在告诉你们，这都要问在这世代的人身上。

52 Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

52 你们律法师有祸了！因为你们把知识的钥匙夺了去，自己不进去，正要进去的人你们也阻挡他们。」

53 As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

53 耶稣从那里出来，文士和法利赛人就极力地催逼他，引动他多说话，

54 waiting to catch Him in something He might say.

54 私下窥听，要拿他的话柄。
