Luke 23

1 Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate.

1 于是，众人动身把耶稣押到彼拉多那里，

2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a King.”

2 开始指控祂说：“这人蛊惑民心，禁止百姓向凯撒纳税，又说自己是基督，是君王。”

3 So Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3 彼拉多问耶稣：“你是犹太人的王吗？” 耶稣回答说：“如你所言。”

4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

4 于是彼拉多对祭司长和百姓说：“我查不出这人有什么罪。”

5 But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

5 但他们坚持说：“这个人从加利利开始一直到这里，在犹太地区四处传道，煽动民心。”

6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

6 彼拉多听后，问道：“祂是加利利人吗？”

7 And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

7 他得知耶稣来自分封王希律的辖区后，便把耶稣送交希律，那时希律刚巧在耶路撒冷。

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

8 希律见到耶稣，十分高兴，因为他听过耶稣的事，早就想见祂，希望看祂行神迹。

9 Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

9 他问了耶稣许多问题，耶稣却一言不发。

10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

10 祭司长和律法教师站在那里极力地指控耶稣。

11 And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

11 希律和他的卫兵嘲弄、侮辱耶稣，给祂穿上华丽的袍子，把祂押回彼拉多那里。

12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

12 希律和彼拉多向来互相敌视，但在那一天竟化敌为友。

13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

13 彼拉多召来祭司长、官长和百姓，

14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.

14 对他们说：“你们带这个人来，说祂煽动百姓造反。我当着你们的面审问了祂，却查不出祂有任何你们指控的罪。

15 Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.

15 希律也查不出祂有什么罪，所以把祂送回来了。可见，这人并没有犯什么该死的罪。

16 Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”

16 因此，我要惩戒祂，然后释放祂。”

17

17 每逢逾越节，总督必须给他们释放一个囚犯。

18 But they all cried out in unison: “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!”

18 这时，众人齐声呼喊：“除掉这个人！给我们释放巴拉巴！”

19 (Barabbas had been imprisoned for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

19 巴拉巴是因在城里叛乱杀人而被下在监牢的。

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate addressed them again,

20 彼拉多想释放耶稣，便再次劝解他们。

21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”

21 但他们一直喊：“把祂钉在十字架上！把祂钉在十字架上！”

22 A third time he said to them, “What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him.”

22 彼拉多第三次问百姓：“为什么？祂犯了什么罪？我找不出该处死祂的罪证。因此，我要惩戒祂，然后释放祂。”

23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor prevailed.

23 众人却继续大声喊叫，执意要求把耶稣钉在十字架上。最后，他们的声势占了上风。

24 So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

24 于是，彼拉多决定答应他们的要求。

25 As they had requested, he released the one imprisoned for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over to their will.

25 他释放了叛乱杀人的囚犯巴拉巴，并把耶稣交给他们任意处置。

26 As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and they put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

26 他们带耶稣出去的时候，抓住从乡下来的古利奈人西门，让他背着十字架跟在耶稣后面。

27 A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

27 有一大群人跟在耶稣后面，其中有不少妇女为耶稣捶胸痛哭。

28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

28 耶稣转过身来，对她们说：“耶路撒冷的女儿啊，不要为我哭，为你们自己和你们的儿女哭吧！

29 Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’

29 因为日子快到了，人们将说，‘不曾生育、不曾怀孕、不曾哺乳的女子有福了！’

30 At that time ‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’

30 到时候，人们会向大山说，‘倒在我们身上吧！’ 又会对小山说，‘遮盖我们吧！’

31 For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

31 树木青葱的时候，他们尚且做这些事，树木枯干的时候，又会怎样呢？”

32 Two others, who were criminals, were also led away to be executed with Jesus.

32 当时有两个罪犯和耶稣一同被押去受刑。

33 When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on His right and the other on His left.

33 他们到了一个叫“髑髅”的地方，便把耶稣钉在十字架上，又将两个罪犯分别钉在祂左右两边。

34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

34 耶稣说：“父啊，赦免他们！因为他们不知道自己在做什么。”士兵抽签分了耶稣的衣裳。

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

35 百姓站着观看，官长也嘲笑耶稣说：“祂救了别人，如果祂是上帝所选立的基督，让祂救自己吧！”

36 The soldiers also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine.

36 士兵们也戏弄祂，拿了些酸酒上前给祂喝，

37 “If You are the King of the Jews,” they said, “save Yourself!”

37 又说：“如果你是犹太人的王，救救自己呀！”

38 Above Him was posted an inscription: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 耶稣上方有一块牌子，上面写着：“这是犹太人的王。”

39 One of the criminals who hung there heaped abuse on Him. “Are You not the Christ?” he said. “Save Yourself and us!”

39 跟耶稣同钉十字架的一个罪犯讥笑耶稣，说：“你不是基督吗？救你自己和我们呀！”

40 But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment?

40 另一个罪犯却责备他说：“你同样是受刑的，难道不怕上帝吗？

41 We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

41 我们是罪有应得，但这个人没有任何过犯。”

42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”

42 他对耶稣说：“耶稣啊，当你来执掌王权的时候，请你记得我。”

43 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

43 耶稣对他说：“我实在告诉你，今天你要和我一起在乐园里了。”

44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

44 那时大约是正午，黑暗笼罩着整个大地，一直到下午三点，

45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

45 太阳黯然无光。挂在圣殿里的幔子从中间裂成两半。

46 Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

46 耶稣大声呼喊：“父啊，我将我的灵魂交在你手中。” 说完，就断了气。

47 When the centurion saw what had happened, he gave glory to God, saying, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

47 百夫长见此情形，便赞美上帝，说：“这人的确是个义人。”

48 And when all the people who had gathered for this spectacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating their breasts.

48 围观的人见状无不捶胸顿足，黯然离去。

49 But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

49 耶稣熟识的人和从加利利跟着祂来的妇女们都站在远处观看。

50 Now there was a Council member named Joseph, a good and righteous man,

50 有一位名叫约瑟的公会议员心地善良、为人正直，

51 who had not consented to their decision or action. He was from the Judean town of Arimathea and was waiting for the kingdom of God.

51 住在犹太地区的亚利马太城，一直在等候上帝国的降临。他并不认同公会的决定和行动。

52 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

52 他去求见彼拉多，要求领取耶稣的遗体。

53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid.

53 他把耶稣的遗体取下来，用细麻布裹好，然后安放在一个在岩壁上凿出的新墓穴里。

54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was beginning.

54 当天是预备日，安息日快到了。

55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

55 和耶稣一起从加利利来的妇女跟在约瑟后面，看到了耶稣的坟墓，并且看到祂的遗体被安放好之后，

56 Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

56 便回去预备香料和膏油。安息日到了，她们按律法的规定休息了一天。
