Luke 5

1 On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,

1 一天，耶稣站在革尼撒勒湖边，众人拥挤着祂，要听上帝的道。

2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.

2 祂看见湖边停着两条船，渔夫离了船正在洗网，

3 Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.

3 就上了西门的那条船，请西门把船稍微划离岸边，然后坐在船上教导众人。

4 When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

4 耶稣讲完之后对西门说：“把船划到水深的地方去撒网捕鱼。”

5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

5 西门说：“老师，我们劳碌了一整夜，一无所获。既然你这样吩咐，我就撒网。”

6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.

6 他们把网撒下去，果然捕获很多鱼，网差点被撑破了。

7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

7 他们便招呼另一条船上的同伴来帮忙，他们就过来一起把两条船都装满了鱼，船几乎要沉下去了。

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

8 西门·彼得见状便跪倒在耶稣膝前说：“主啊，离开我，我是个罪人！”

9 For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,

9 他和所有同伴对捕到这么多鱼感到非常惊讶，

10 and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”

10 包括西庇太的两个儿子雅各和约翰。耶稣对西门说：“不要怕，从今以后，你将成为得人的渔夫。”

11 And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.

11 于是他们把船靠岸后，撇下一切跟从了耶稣。

12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

12 有一次，耶稣在一个小镇遇见一个浑身患麻风病的人，那人一看见耶稣，就俯伏在地上恳求说：“主啊，如果你肯，就能使我洁净。”

13 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

13 耶稣伸手摸他，说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！”他身上的麻风病立刻消失了。

14 “Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

14 耶稣又嘱咐他：“不要把这事告诉别人，要去让祭司察看你的身体，照摩西的规定献祭，向众人证明你已经洁净了。”

15 But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.

15 结果耶稣的名声传得更广了，成群的人聚集到祂那里听祂讲道、求祂医病。

16 Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.

16 不过，祂还是常常退到旷野去祷告。

17 One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

17 有一天，耶稣在教导人，旁边坐着来自加利利和犹太各乡村，以及耶路撒冷的法利赛人和律法教师，主的能力伴随着耶稣，使祂能治病。

18 Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,

18 有人用担架抬着一个瘫痪的想进到屋里，把他放在耶稣面前。

19 but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

19 可是人太多了，他们抬不进去，就爬上屋顶，掀开瓦片，把那病人连同担架缒到耶稣面前。

20 When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

20 耶稣看见他们的信心，就对那人说：“朋友，你的罪得到赦免了！”

21 But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

21 那些律法教师和法利赛人开始议论起来：“这个说话亵渎上帝的人是谁啊？除了上帝以外，谁能赦罪呢？”

22 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

22 耶稣知道他们的想法，就问：“你们为什么心里议论呢？

23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

23 说‘你的罪得到赦免了’容易呢，还是说‘你起来行走’容易呢？

24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

24 如今我要让你们知道人子在世上有赦罪的权柄。”于是对瘫痪的人说：“我吩咐你起来！拿上你的担架回家去吧。”

25 And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

25 那人立刻当众站了起来，拿起他躺卧的担架回家去了，不住地赞美上帝。

26 Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

26 众人都十分惊奇，一同赞美上帝，心里充满了敬畏，说：“今天我们看到奇事了！”

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,

27 后来耶稣外出时，看见一个名叫利未的税吏坐在收税站里，就对他说：“跟从我！”

28 and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.

28 利未就起来，撇下一切跟从了耶稣。

29 Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

29 随后，他在家设宴款待耶稣，赴宴的人中有许多税吏和其他人。

30 But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

30 法利赛人和律法教师就向耶稣的门徒抱怨说：“你们为何跟税吏和罪人一起吃喝？”

31 Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

31 耶稣答道：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要。

32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

32 我来不是召义人悔改，而是召罪人悔改。”

33 Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”

33 他们说：“约翰的门徒常常禁食祷告，法利赛人的门徒也是一样，可是你的门徒却又吃又喝。”

34 Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?

34 耶稣说：“新郎和宾客还在一起的时候，岂能让宾客禁食？

35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”

35 但有一天新郎将被带走，那时他们就要禁食了。”

36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

36 耶稣又给他们讲了一个比喻，说：“没有人会从新衣服上撕下一块布来，补在旧衣服上。否则，不但新衣服撕破了，旧衣服和新补丁也不相称。

37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.

37 也没有人把新酒装在旧皮囊里，否则新酒会把旧皮囊胀破，酒也漏了，皮囊也毁了。

38 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

38 所以新酒一定要装在新皮囊里。

39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

39 没有人喝过陈酒以后想喝新酒，因为人都说陈酒好。”
