Luke 19

1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

1 耶稣进了耶利哥，正从城里经过。

2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.

2 有个人名叫撒该，是税吏长，家财丰厚。

3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.

3 他想看看耶稣是谁，可是因为周围人多，他身材矮小，无法看见。

4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

4 他便跑到前面，爬上一棵桑树观看，因为耶稣会从那里经过。

5 When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”

5 耶稣走到那里，抬头招呼他说：“撒该，快下来！今天我必须住在你家。”

6 So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.

6 撒该连忙爬下来，兴高采烈地迎接耶稣。

7 And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”

7 百姓见状都埋怨说：“祂怎么到一个罪人家里作客？”

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”

8 撒该站起来对主说：“主啊，我要把一半的财产分给穷人。我欺骗过谁，就还谁四倍。”

9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

9 耶稣说：“今天救恩临到这家了，因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

10 人子来是要寻找和拯救迷失的人。”

11 While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

11 众人在听的时候，耶稣又为他们讲了一个比喻，因为祂快到耶路撒冷了，人们以为上帝的国马上就要显现了。

12 So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

12 耶稣说：“有一位贵族要到远方去受封为王，然后返回。

13 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

13 临行前，他召集了十个奴仆，发给每人一千个银币，吩咐他们，‘你们在我出门期间要用这些钱做生意。’

14 But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

14 “可是他的人民却憎恨他，他们随后派一个代表团去请愿说，‘我们不要这人做我们的王。’

15 When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

15 “那贵族受封为王回来后，召齐十个奴仆，想知道他们做生意赚了多少。

16 The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’

16 第一个奴仆上前禀告说，‘主啊，我用你给我的一千个银币赚了一万个银币。’

17 His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

17 “主人说，‘好，你真是个好奴仆！你既然在小事上忠心，就派你管理十座城。’

18 The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’

18 “第二个奴仆上前说，‘主啊，我用你给我的一千个银币赚了五千个银币。’

19 And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’

19 “主人说，‘我派你管理五座城。’

20 Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.

20 “另一个奴仆上前说，‘主啊，这是你先前给我的一千个银币，我一直把它包在手帕里。

21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’

21 因为你很严厉，没有存还要取，没有种还要收，所以我怕你。’

22 His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?

22 “主人对那奴仆说，‘你这个恶奴仆！我要按你自己的话定你的罪。你既然知道我很严厉，没有存还要取，没有种还要收，

23 Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’

23 为什么不把我的银币存进钱庄，等我回来可以连本带利收回来？’

24 Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

24 “接着，他吩咐站在旁边的奴仆，‘收回他的一千银币，给那个有一万银币的。’

25 ‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

25 “他们说，‘主啊，那个人已经有一万银币了。’

26 He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

26 “主人答道，‘我告诉你们，凡有的，还要给他更多；凡没有的，连他仅有的也要夺去。

27 And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”

27 至于那些反对我做王的仇敌，把他们带来，在我面前处决。’”

28 After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

28 耶稣说完这个比喻，就走在众人前面上耶路撒冷去。

29 As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,

29 快到橄榄山的伯法其和伯大尼时，耶稣派了两个门徒，并嘱咐说：

30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

30 “你们去前面的村庄，一进村就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的驴驹拴在那里，你们把它解开牵来。

31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

31 若有人问你们为什么把它解开，就说，‘主要用它。’”

32 So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.

32 两个门徒出去后，所遇见的情形正如耶稣所说的。

33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”

33 当他们解开驴驹时，主人问他们：“你们解开驴驹干什么？”

34 “The Lord needs it,” they answered.

34 他们说：“主要用它。”

35 Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.

35 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣那里，把自己的外衣搭在驴背上，扶耶稣上驴。

36 As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.

36 耶稣骑着驴前行，众人把衣服铺在路上。

37 And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

37 祂正走下橄榄山，将近耶路撒冷的时候，众门徒因为以往所见的神迹奇事，就欢腾起来，高声赞美上帝：

38 “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

38 “奉主名来的王当受称颂！” “天上有平安，至高之处有荣耀！”

39 But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

39 百姓中有几个法利赛人对耶稣说：“老师，责备你的门徒吧。”

40 “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”

40 耶稣说：“我告诉你们，如果他们闭口不言，这些石头都要呼喊了！”

41 As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it

41 耶稣快到耶路撒冷时，看见那城，就为它哀哭，

42 and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.

42 说：“今天你若知道那能带给你平安的事就好了！可惜这事现在是隐藏的，你看不见！

43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.

43 因为有一天敌人要在你周围筑垒把你团团围住，四面攻击你。

44 They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

44 他们要把你夷为平地，毁灭你城墙里的儿女，不会留下两块叠在一起的石头，因为你没有认出上帝眷顾你的时刻。”

45 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.

45 耶稣进入圣殿赶走里面做买卖的人，

46 He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

46 并对他们说：“圣经上说，‘我的殿要成为祷告的殿’ ，你们竟把它变成了贼窝 。”

47 Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.

47 祂天天在圣殿教导人，祭司长、律法教师和百姓的官长都想杀祂，

48 Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.

48 只是无从下手，因为百姓都十分喜爱听祂讲道。
