Matthew 27

1 When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

1 到了清晨，众祭司长和百姓的长老商定要处死耶稣。

2 They bound Him, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.

2 他们把祂绑起来，押送到总督彼拉多那里。

3 When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

3 出卖耶稣的犹大看见耶稣被定了罪，感到很后悔，就把那三十块银子还给祭司长和长老，说：

4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

4 “我出卖了清白无辜的人，我犯罪了！” 他们说：“那是你自己的事，跟我们有什么关系？”

5 So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

5 犹大把钱扔在圣殿里，出去上吊自尽了。

6 The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

6 祭司长们捡起银子，说：“这是血钱，不可收进圣殿的库房。”

7 After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

7 他们商议后，决定用这些钱买下陶匠的地作为埋葬异乡人的坟场。

8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

8 因此，那块地至今被称为“血田”。

9 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

9 这就应验了耶利米先知的话：“他们用以色列人给祂估定的三十块银子，

10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

10 买了陶匠的一块田，正如主指示我的。”

11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

11 耶稣站在总督面前受审。总督问：“你是犹太人的王吗？” 耶稣说：“如你所言。”

12 And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He gave no answer.

12 当祭司长和长老控告祂时，祂一句话也不说。

13 Then Pilate asked Him, “Do You not hear how many charges they are bringing against You?”

13 彼拉多就问：“你没听见他们对你的诸多控告吗？”

14 But Jesus gave no answer, not even to a single charge, much to the governor’s amazement.

14 耶稣仍旧一言不发。彼拉多感到十分惊奇。

15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the feast to release to the crowd a prisoner of their choosing.

15 每逢逾越节，总督都会照惯例按民众的意愿释放一个囚犯。

16 At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.

16 那时，有一个恶名昭彰的囚犯名叫巴拉巴。

17 So when the crowd had assembled, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”

17 百姓聚在一起的时候，彼拉多就问他们：“你们要我给你们释放谁？巴拉巴还是被称为基督的耶稣？”

18 For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

18 因为彼拉多知道他们把耶稣押来是出于嫉妒。

19 While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered terribly in a dream today because of Him.”

19 彼拉多正坐堂断案时，他夫人派人来对他说：“你不要插手这个义人的事！我今天在梦中因为这个人受了许多苦。”

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus put to death.

20 祭司长和长老却怂恿百姓要求释放巴拉巴，处死耶稣。

21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they replied.

21 总督再次问百姓：“这两个人，你们要我释放哪一个？”他们说：“巴拉巴！”

22 “What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify Him!”

22 彼拉多问：“那么，我怎样处置被称为基督的耶稣呢？” 他们齐声说：“把祂钉在十字架上！”

23 “Why?” asked Pilate. “What evil has He done?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!”

23 彼拉多问：“为什么？祂犯了什么罪？” 他们却更大声地喊叫：“把祂钉在十字架上！”

24 When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You bear the responsibility.”

24 彼拉多见再说也无济于事，反而会引起骚乱，于是取了一些水来，在众人面前洗手，说：“流这义人的血，罪不在我，你们自己负责。”

25 All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”

25 众人都说：“流祂血的责任由我们和我们的子孙承担！”

26 So Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

26 于是，彼拉多为他们释放了巴拉巴，下令将耶稣鞭打后交出去钉十字架。

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company around Him.

27 总督的士兵把耶稣押进总督府，把全营士兵都集合在祂周围。

28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

28 他们剥下耶稣的衣服，给祂披上一件朱红色长袍，

29 And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

29 用荆棘编成冠冕，戴在祂头上，又拿一根苇秆放在祂右手里，跪在祂跟前戏弄祂，说：“犹太人的王万岁！”

30 Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

30 然后向祂吐唾沫，拿过苇秆打祂的头。

31 After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.

31 他们戏弄完了，就脱去祂的袍子，给祂穿上原来的衣服，把祂押出去钉十字架。

32 Along the way they found a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross of Jesus.

32 他们出去的时候，遇见一个叫西门的古利奈人，就强迫他背耶稣的十字架。

33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means The Place of the Skull,

33 来到一个地方，名叫各各他——意思是“髑髅地”，

34 they offered Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, He refused to drink it.

34 士兵给耶稣喝掺了苦胆汁的酒，祂尝了一口，不肯喝。

35 When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

35 他们把耶稣钉在十字架上，还抽签分了祂的衣服，

36 And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

36 然后坐在那里看守。

37 Above His head they posted the written charge against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

37 他们在祂头顶上挂了一个牌子，上面写着祂的罪状：“这是犹太人的王耶稣。”

38 Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left.

38 当时，有两个强盗也被钉在十字架上，一个在祂右边，一个在祂左边。

39 And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

39 过路的人都嘲笑祂，摇着头说：

40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

40 “你这要把圣殿拆毁又在三天内重建的人啊，救救自己吧！你要是上帝的儿子，就从十字架上下来吧！”

41 In the same way, the chief priests, scribes, and elders mocked Him, saying,

41 祭司长、律法教师和长老也同样嘲讽说：

42 “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

42 “祂救了别人，却救不了自己！祂可是以色列的王啊！现在就从十字架上下来吧！我们就信祂。

43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

43 祂信靠上帝，如果上帝喜悦祂，就让上帝来救祂吧！因为祂自称是上帝的儿子。”

44 In the same way, even the robbers who were crucified with Him berated Him.

44 跟祂一同被钉十字架的强盗也这样嘲笑祂。

45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

45 从正午一直到下午三点，黑暗笼罩着整个大地。

46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

46 大约下午三点，耶稣大声呼喊：“以利，以利，拉马撒巴各大尼？” 意思是：“我的上帝，我的上帝，你为什么离弃我？”

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He is calling Elijah.”

47 有些站在旁边的人听见了，就说：“这人在呼叫以利亚。”

48 One of them quickly ran and brought a sponge. He filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed, and held it up for Jesus to drink.

48 其中一人连忙跑去拿了一块海绵，蘸满酸酒，绑在苇秆上送给祂喝。

49 But the others said, “Leave Him alone. Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him.”

49 其他人却说：“等着吧，我们看看以利亚会不会来救祂。”

50 When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.

50 耶稣又大喊了一声，就断了气。

51 At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split.

51 就在那时，圣殿里的幔子从上到下裂成两半，大地震动，岩石崩裂，

52 The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

52 坟墓打开，很多死去圣徒的身体复活过来。

53 After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

53 他们在耶稣复活后离开坟墓，进圣城向许多人显现。

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”

54 看守耶稣的百夫长和士兵看见地震及所发生的一切，都惊恐万状，说：“这人真是上帝的儿子啊！”

55 And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

55 有好些妇女在远处观看，她们从加利利就跟随了耶稣，服侍祂。

56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

56 其中有抹大拉的玛丽亚、雅各和约西的母亲玛丽亚以及西庇太两个儿子的母亲。

57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph, who himself was a disciple of Jesus.

57 傍晚，从亚利马太来了一位名叫约瑟的有钱人，他是耶稣的门徒。

58 He went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

58 他去求见彼拉多，要求领取耶稣的遗体，彼拉多就下令把耶稣的遗体交给他。

59 So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

59 约瑟领了遗体，用干净的细麻布裹好，

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

60 安放在他为自己在岩壁上凿出的新墓穴里，又滚来一块大石头堵住墓口，然后离去。

61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

61 那时，抹大拉的玛丽亚和另一个玛丽亚坐在坟墓的对面。

62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

62 第二天，就是预备日之后的那天，祭司长和法利赛人一起来见彼拉多，说：

63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

63 “总督大人，我们记得那个骗子生前曾说，‘三天之后，我必复活。’

64 So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”

64 所以请你命人看守坟墓三天，以防祂的门徒偷走祂的尸体，然后对百姓说祂已经从死里复活。这样的迷惑会比以前的更厉害！”

65 “You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

65 彼拉多说：“你们带上卫兵，去那里严加看守。”

66 So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.

66 他们就带着卫兵去了，在墓口的石头上贴上封条，派人看守墓穴。
