Luke 9

1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

1 耶稣召集了十二个使徒，赐他们赶鬼医病的能力和权柄，

2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

2 又差遣他们出去宣讲上帝的国、医治病人。

3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.

3 耶稣叮嘱他们：“出门的时候，什么也不要带，不要带手杖、背包、干粮、金钱，也不要带两件衣服。

4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.

4 你们无论进到哪户人家，都要在那里住下来，一直到你们离开那地方。

5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”

5 如果有人不欢迎你们，你们在离开那城的时候，就把脚上的尘土跺掉，作为对他们的警告。”

6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.

6 使徒就出发，走遍各个乡村，到处宣扬福音，医治病人。

7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

7 耶稣的事迹很快便传到分封王希律耳中，令他十分困惑，因为有人说：“约翰从死里复活了。”

8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

8 有人说：“以利亚显现了。”还有人说：“古代的某个先知复活了。”

9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.

9 希律说：“约翰已经被我斩首，这个人是谁呢？我竟听到祂这样的事迹！”于是他想见耶稣。

10 Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.

10 使徒回来后，向耶稣报告他们一切的工作。随后耶稣带着他们单独退到伯赛大城。

11 But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.

11 但百姓知道了耶稣的行踪，就跟随祂。耶稣接待他们，向他们传讲上帝的国，医治有病的人。

12 As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”

12 黄昏将近，十二个使徒过来对耶稣说：“请遣散众人，好让他们到周围的村庄去借宿找吃的，因为我们这地方很偏僻。”

13 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

13 耶稣对他们说：“你们给他们吃的吧。” 他们说：“我们只有五个饼和两条鱼，除非我们去买食物才够这么一大群人吃。”

14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

14 当时那里约有五千男人。 耶稣便对门徒说：“让这些人分组坐下，每组大约五十人。”

15 They did so, and everyone was seated.

15 于是门徒安排众人都坐好。

16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.

16 耶稣拿起那五个饼、两条鱼，举目望着天祝谢后，掰开递给门徒，让他们分给众人。

17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

17 大家都吃饱了，把剩下的零碎收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。

18 One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

18 有一次，耶稣独自祷告的时候，门徒也在旁边。 耶稣问他们：“人们说我是谁？”

19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”

19 他们答道：“有人说是施洗者约翰，有人说是以利亚，还有人说是一位复活的古代先知。”

20 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

20 耶稣对他们说：“那么，你们说我是谁？” 彼得回答说：“上帝所立的基督。”

21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

21 耶稣郑重叮嘱他们不可泄露祂的身份，

22 “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

22 又说：“人子必须受许多苦，被长老、祭司长和律法教师弃绝，并且被杀害，但必在第三天复活。”

23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

23 耶稣又教导众人说：“人若想跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架跟从我。

24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

24 因为想救自己生命的，必失去生命；但为了我失去生命的，必得到生命。

25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?

25 人就算赚得全世界，却失去自己或丧掉自己，又有什么益处呢？

26 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

26 如果有人以我和我的道为耻，将来人子在自己、天父和圣天使的荣耀中降临时，也必以这人为耻。

27 But I tell you truly, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

27 我实在告诉你们，有些站在这里的人会在有生之年看见上帝的国。”

28 About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

28 讲完这些话后大约八天，耶稣带着彼得、约翰和雅各一同到山上祷告。

29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

29 耶稣在祷告的时候，容貌改变了，衣裳洁白发光。

30 Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.

30 忽然，摩西和以利亚二人在跟耶稣谈话。

31 They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

31 二人在荣光中显现，谈论有关耶稣离世的事情，就是祂在耶路撒冷将要成就的事。

32 Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.

32 彼得和两个同伴都困得睡着了，他们醒来后，看见了耶稣的荣光以及站在祂身边的两个人。

33 As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

33 当摩西和以利亚要离开时，彼得对耶稣说：“老师，我们在这里真好！我们搭三座帐篷吧，一座给你，一座给摩西，一座给以利亚。”其实彼得并不知道自己在说什么。

34 While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

34 他的话还没说完，有一朵云彩飘来，笼罩他们，他们进入云彩中，都很害怕。

35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

35 云彩中有声音说：“这是我的儿子，是我拣选的，你们要听从祂！”

36 After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

36 声音消逝了，门徒只见耶稣独自在那里。那些日子，他们对这事都绝口不提，没有告诉任何人。

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

37 次日，他们来到山下，有一大群人迎接耶稣。

38 Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.

38 人群中有一个人高声喊叫：“老师，求求你看看我的儿子吧！他是我的独生子，

39 A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.

39 鬼控制着他，他常常突然狂喊乱叫、抽搐、口吐白沫，倍受折磨，无休无止。

40 I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”

40 我求你的门徒把鬼赶出去，但他们却无能为力。”

41 “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

41 耶稣回答说：“唉！这又不信又败坏的世代啊！我要跟你们在一起容忍你们多久呢？把你的儿子带来吧。”

42 Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

42 那孩子走过来时，鬼又把他摔倒，使他抽搐，耶稣就斥责污鬼，把那孩子治好了，交给他父亲。

43 And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

43 众人看见了上帝的大能，都很惊奇。 他们正为耶稣的一切作为惊讶不已时，耶稣对门徒说：

44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

44 “你们要牢记人子所说的话，因为祂将被交在人手中。”

45 But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

45 门徒却不明白这句话的意思，因为这番话的含意对他们是隐藏的，他们听不懂，又不敢问祂。

46 Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

46 门徒开始争论他们当中谁最伟大。

47 But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.

47 耶稣知道他们的心思，就带来一个小孩子，让他站在自己身旁，

48 And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”

48 然后对门徒说：“谁为了我的名接待这样一个小孩子，就是接待我；谁接待我，就是接待差我来的那位。你们当中最卑微的其实是最伟大的。”

49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”

49 约翰说：“老师，我们看见有人奉你的名赶鬼，就阻止他，因为他不是和我们一起跟从你的。”

50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

50 耶稣却对他说：“你们不要阻止他，因为不反对你们的，就是支持你们的。”

51 As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

51 耶稣被接回天家的日子快到了，祂决定前往耶路撒冷。

52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

52 祂派人先到撒玛利亚的一个村庄去预备，

53 But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.

53 但撒玛利亚人见祂是上耶路撒冷去的，不肯接待祂。

54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”

54 祂的门徒雅各和约翰见状说：“主啊，你要我们 叫天上的火降下来烧死他们吗？”

55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

55 耶稣转过身来责备他们 。

56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.

56 接着，一行人改道去另一个村子。

57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”

57 在路上有人对耶稣说：“无论你往哪里去，我都要跟从你。”

58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

58 耶稣对他说：“狐狸有洞，飞鸟有窝，人子却没有安枕之处。”

59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

59 耶稣又对另一个人说：“跟从我！”但是那人说：“主啊，请让我先回去安葬我的父亲。”

60 But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

60 耶稣说：“让死人去埋葬他们的死人吧，你只管去传扬上帝的国。”

61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”

61 又有一个人说：“主啊！我愿意跟从你，但请让我先回去向家人告别。”

62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

62 耶稣说：“手扶着犁向后看的人不配进上帝的国。”
