Matthew 8

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

1 耶稣下了山，有许多人跟着他。

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

2 有一个长大麻风的来拜他，说：「主若肯，必能叫我洁净了。」

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！」他的大麻风立刻就洁净了。

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：「你切不可告诉人，只要去把身体给祭司察看，献上摩西所吩咐的礼物，对众人作证据。」

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

5 耶稣进了迦百农，有一个百夫长进前来，求他说：

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

6 「主啊，我的仆人害瘫痪病，躺在家里，甚是疼苦。」

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 百夫长回答说：「主啊，你到我舍下，我不敢当；只要你说一句话，我的仆人就必好了。

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 因为我在人的权下，也有兵在我以下；对这个说『去！』他就去；对那个说『来！』他就来；对我的仆人说：『你做这事！』他就去做。」

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 耶稣听见就希奇，对跟从的人说：「我实在告诉你们，这么大的信心，就是在以色列中，我也没有遇见过。

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 我又告诉你们，从东从西，将有许多人来，在天国里与亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各一同坐席；

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

12 惟有本国的子民竟被赶到外边黑暗里去，在那里必要哀哭切齿了。」

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！照你的信心，给你成全了。」那时，他的仆人就好了。

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

14 耶稣到了彼得家里，见彼得的岳母害热病躺着。

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

15 耶稣把她的手一摸，热就退了；她就起来服事耶稣。

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 到了晚上，有人带着许多被鬼附的来到耶稣跟前，他只用一句话就把鬼都赶出去，并且治好了一切有病的人。

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

17 这是要应验先知以赛亚的话，说： 他代替我们的软弱， 担当我们的疾病。

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

18 耶稣见许多人围着他，就吩咐渡到那边去。

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

19 有一个文士来，对他说：「夫子，你无论往哪里去，我要跟从你。」

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，天空的飞鸟有窝，人子却没有枕头的地方。」

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

21 又有一个门徒对耶稣说：「主啊，容我先回去埋葬我的父亲。」

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

22 耶稣说：「任凭死人埋葬他们的死人；你跟从我吧！」

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

23 耶稣上了船，门徒跟着他。

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

24 海里忽然起了暴风，甚至船被波浪掩盖；耶稣却睡着了。

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

25 门徒来叫醒了他，说：「主啊，救我们，我们丧命啦！」

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 耶稣说：「你们这小信的人哪，为什么胆怯呢？」于是起来，斥责风和海，风和海就大大地平静了。

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

27 众人希奇，说：「这是怎样的人？连风和海也听从他了！」

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 耶稣既渡到那边去，来到加大拉人的地方，就有两个被鬼附的人从坟茔里出来迎着他，极其凶猛，甚至没有人能从那条路上经过。

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

29 他们喊着说：「 神的儿子，我们与你有什么相干？时候还没有到，你就上这里来叫我们受苦吗？」

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

30 离他们很远，有一大群猪吃食。

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，说：「若把我们赶出去，就打发我们进入猪群吧！」

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！」鬼就出来，进入猪群。全群忽然闯下山崖，投在海里淹死了。

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

33 放猪的就逃跑进城，将这一切事和被鬼附的人所遭遇的都告诉人。

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

34 合城的人都出来迎见耶稣，既见了就央求他离开他们的境界。
