Matthew 8

1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

1 耶稣下山的时候，有许多人跟着。

2 Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

2 有一个患麻风病的人过来跪在祂跟前，说：“主啊，如果你肯，就能使我洁净。”

3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

3 耶稣伸手摸他，说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！”那人的麻风病就立刻洁净了。

4 Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

4 耶稣对他说：“切勿把这事告诉别人，要去让祭司察看你的身体，并照摩西的规定献祭，向众人证明你已经洁净了。”

5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

5 耶稣到了迦百农，一个百夫长前来向祂求助，说：

6 “Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

6 “主啊，我的仆人瘫痪，躺在家里，非常痛苦。”

7 “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

7 耶稣说：“我去医治他。”

8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8 百夫长说：“主啊，你亲临舍下，我不敢当。只要你说一句话，我仆人就会痊愈。

9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9 因为我有上司，也有部下。我命令这个部下去，他就去；要那个部下来，他就来。我吩咐奴仆做什么，他就做什么。”

10 When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

10 耶稣听了，感到惊奇，便对跟随祂的人说：“我实在告诉你们，我在以色列从未见过信心这么大的人。

11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

11 我告诉你们，将来有许多从东从西来的人会在天国与亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一同欢宴。

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

12 但那些本应承受天国的人反而会被赶到外面的黑暗里，在那里哀哭切齿。”

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

13 耶稣对百夫长说：“你回去吧！就照你所信的给你成就。”就在那时候，他的仆人便痊愈了。

14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

14 耶稣来到彼得家，看见彼得的岳母正在发烧，躺在床上。

15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

15 耶稣一摸她的手，她的烧就退了，她便起来服侍耶稣。

16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

16 当晚，有人带着许多被鬼附身的人来见耶稣。耶稣一句话就把鬼赶出去了，并治好了所有的病人。

17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

17 这是要应验以赛亚先知的话：“祂担当了我们的软弱，背负了我们的疾病。”

18 When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

18 耶稣看到人群围着祂，就吩咐门徒渡到湖对岸。

19 And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

19 这时，有一位律法教师上前对耶稣说：“老师，无论你往哪里去，我都要跟从你。”

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

20 耶稣说：“狐狸有洞，飞鸟有窝，人子却没有安枕之处。”

21 Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

21 另一个门徒对耶稣说：“主啊，请让我先回去安葬我的父亲。”

22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

22 耶稣对他说：“你跟从我，让死人去埋葬他们的死人吧！”

23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

23 耶稣上了船，门徒也跟着祂上去。

24 Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.

24 忽然，湖面上狂风大作，波涛汹涌，船快要被巨浪吞没，耶稣却在睡觉。

25 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

25 门徒连忙叫醒耶稣，说：“主啊，救命！我们快淹死了！”

26 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

26 耶稣答道：“你们的信心太小了，为什么害怕呢？”于是祂起来斥责风和浪，风浪就完全平静了。

27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

27 门徒很惊奇，说：“祂究竟是什么人？连风浪都听祂的！”

28 When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

28 耶稣到了对岸加大拉 人的地方，遇见两个被鬼附身的人。他们从坟墓里出来，非常凶恶，没有人敢从那里经过。

29 “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

29 他们高喊：“上帝的儿子啊！我们和你有什么关系？时候还没有到，你就来叫我们受苦吗？”

30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

30 当时，有一大群猪在远处吃食。

31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

31 鬼就央求耶稣：“如果你要赶我们出去，就让我们进入猪群吧！”

32 “Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

32 耶稣说：“去吧！” 于是，鬼从那二人身上出来，进入猪群，整群猪就一路奔下陡坡，冲进湖里淹死了。

33 Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

33 放猪的人逃进城，把事情的经过以及被鬼附身者的遭遇告诉了城里的人。

34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

34 于是，全城的人都出来见耶稣，见到后，便请求祂离开那里。
