Luke 19

1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

1 耶穌進了耶利哥，正經過的時候，

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

2 有一個人名叫撒該，作稅吏長，是個財主。

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

3 他要看看耶穌是怎樣的人；只因人多，他的身量又矮，所以不得看見，

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

4 就跑到前頭，爬上桑樹，要看耶穌，因為耶穌必從那裏經過。

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

5 耶穌到了那裏，抬頭一看，對他說：「撒該，快下來！今天我必住在你家裏。」

6 So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.

6 他就急忙下來，歡歡喜喜地接待耶穌。

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

7 眾人看見，都私下議論說：「他竟到罪人家裏去住宿。」

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 撒該站着對主說：「主啊，我把所有的一半給窮人；我若訛詐了誰，就還他四倍。」

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

9 耶穌說：「今天救恩到了這家，因為他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫。

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

10 人子來，為要尋找、拯救失喪的人。」

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 眾人正在聽見這些話的時候，耶穌因為將近耶路撒冷，又因他們以為上帝的國快要顯出來，就另設一個比喻，說：

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

12 「有一個貴冑往遠方去，要得國回來，

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

13 便叫了他的十個僕人來，交給他們十錠 銀子，說：『你們去做生意，直等我回來。』

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 他本國的人卻恨他，打發使者隨後去，說：『我們不願意這個人作我們的王。』

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 他既得國回來，就吩咐叫那領銀子的僕人來，要知道他們做生意賺了多少。

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

16 頭一個上來，說：『主啊，你的一錠銀子已經賺了十錠。』

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 主人說：『好！良善的僕人，你既在最小的事上有忠心，可以有權柄管十座城。』

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

18 第二個來，說：『主啊， 你的一錠銀子已經賺了五錠。』

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

19 主人說：『你也可以管五座城。』

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

20 又有一個來說：『主啊，看哪，你的一錠銀子在這裏，我把它包在手巾裏存着。

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 我原是怕你，因為你是嚴厲的人；沒有放下的，還要去拿， 沒有種下的，還要去收。』

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 主人對他說：『你這惡僕，我要憑你的口定你的罪。你既知道我是嚴厲的人，沒有放下的，還要去拿，沒有種下的，還要去收，

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

23 為甚麼不把我的銀子交給銀行，等我來的時候，連本帶利都可以要回來呢？』

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

24 就對旁邊站着的人說：『奪過他這一錠來，給那有十錠的。』

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

25 他們說：『主啊，他已經有十錠了。』

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 主人說：『我告訴你們，凡有的，還要加給他；沒有的，連他所有的也要奪過來。

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 至於我那些仇敵，不要我作他們王的，把他們拉來，在我面前殺了吧！』」

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

28 耶穌說完了這話，就在前面走，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 將近伯法其和伯大尼，在一座山名叫橄欖山那裏，就打發兩個門徒，說：

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 「你們往對面村子裏去，進去的時候，必看見一匹驢駒拴在那裏，是從來沒有人騎過的，可以解開牽來。

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

31 若有人問為甚麼解牠，你們就說：『主要用牠。』」

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

32 打發的人去了，所遇見的正如耶穌所說的。

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

33 他們解驢駒的時候，主人問他們說：「解驢駒做甚麼？」

34 “The Lord needs it,” they answered.

34 他們說：「主要用牠。」

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

35 他們牽到耶穌那裏，把自己的衣服搭在上面，扶着耶穌騎上。

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

36 走的時候，眾人把衣服鋪在路上。

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 將近耶路撒冷，正下橄欖山的時候，眾門徒因所見過的一切異能，都歡樂起來，大聲讚美上帝，

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

38 說： 奉主名來的王是應當稱頌的！ 在天上有和平； 在至高之處有榮光。

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

39 眾人中有幾個法利賽人對耶穌說：「夫子，責備你的門徒吧！」

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

40 耶穌說：「我告訴你們，若是他們閉口不說，這些石頭必要呼叫起來。」

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

41 耶穌快到耶路撒冷，看見城，就為它哀哭，

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 說：「巴不得你在這日子知道關係你平安的事；無奈這事現在是隱藏的，叫你的眼看不出來。

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 因為日子將到，你的仇敵必築起土壘，周圍環繞你，四面困住你，

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 並要掃滅你和你裏頭的兒女，連一塊石頭也不留在石頭上，因你不知道眷顧你的時候。」

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

45 耶穌進了殿，趕出裏頭做買賣的人，

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 對他們說：「經上說： 我的殿必作禱告的殿， 你們倒使它成為賊窩了。」

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 耶穌天天在殿裏教訓人。祭司長和文士與百姓的尊長都想要殺他，

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

48 但尋不出法子來，因為百姓都側耳聽他。
