OLD TESTAMENT

Genesis (创世纪)

Genesis - Chapter 1

1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth—
起初, 神创造天地.

1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
地是空虚混沌; 深渊上一片黑暗; 神的灵运行在水面上.

1:3 And God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light.
神说: “要有光! ”就有了光.

1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good, and God caused there to be a separation between the light and between the darkness.
神看光是好的, 他就把光暗分开了.

1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
神称光为昼, 称暗为夜. 有晚上, 有早晨; 这是第一日.

1:6 And God said, “Let there be a vaulted dome in the midst of the waters, and let it cause a separation between the waters.”
神说: “众水之间要有穹苍, 把水和水分开! ”事就这样成了.

1:7 So God made the vaulted dome, and he caused a separation between the waters which were under the vaulted dome and between the waters which were over the vaulted dome. And it was so.
神造了穹苍, 把穹苍以下的水和穹苍以上的水分开了.

1:8 And God called the vaulted dome “heaven.” And there was evening, and there was morning, a second day.
神称穹苍为天. 有晚上, 有早晨; 这是第二日.

1:9 And God said, “Let the waters under heaven be gathered to one place, and let the dry ground appear.” And it was so.
神说: “天下的水要聚在一处, 使旱地露出来! ”事就这样成了.

1:10 And God called the dry ground “earth,” and he called the collection of the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
神称旱地为地, 称水的聚处为海. 神看这是好的.

1:11 And God said, “Let the earth produce green plants that will bear seed—fruit trees bearing fruit in which there is seed—according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.
神说: “地上要长出青草,结种子的蔬菜和结果子的树木, 各从其类, 在地上的果子都包着核! ”事就这样成了.

1:12 And the earth brought forth green plants bearing seed according to its kind, and trees bearing fruit in which there was seed according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
于是, 地上长出了青草和结种子的蔬菜, 各从其类; 又长出结果子的树木, 各从其类, 果子都包着核. 神看这是好的.

1:13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
有晚上, 有早晨; 这是第三日.

1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vaulted dome of heaven to separate day from night, and let them be as signs and for appointed times, and for days and years,
神说: “在天上穹苍中, 要有光体来分昼夜; 这些光体要作为记号, 定节令,日子和年岁;

1:15 and they shall be as lights in the vaulted dome of heaven to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
它们要在天上穹苍中发光, 照耀地上! ”事就这样成了.

1:16 And God made two lights, the greater light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night, and the stars.
于是, 神造了两个大光体, 大的管昼, 小的管夜; 又造了星星.

1:17 And God placed them in the vaulted dome of heaven to give light on the earth
神把这些光体安放在天上穹苍中, 照耀地上,

1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
管昼夜, 分光暗. 神看这是好的.

1:19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
有晚上, 有早晨; 这是第四日.

1:20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth across the face of the vaulted dome of heaven.
神说: “水要滋长生物; 地上和天空之中, 要有雀鸟飞翔! ”

1:21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kind, and every bird with wings according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
于是, 神创造了大鱼和在水中滋生各种能活动的生物, 各从其类; 又创造了各种有翅膀的飞鸟, 各从其类. 神看这是好的.

1:22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
神就赐福给它们, 说: “要繁殖增多, 充满海洋; 雀鸟也要在地上增多! ”

1:23 And there was evening, and there was morning, a fifth day.
有晚上, 有早晨; 这是第五日.

1:24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind: cattle and moving things, and wild animals according to their kind.” And it was so.
神说: “地上要生出活物来, 各从其类; 牲畜,昆虫和地上的野兽, 各从其类! ”事就这样成了.

1:25 So God made wild animals according to their kind and the cattle according to their kind, and every creeping thing of the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
于是, 神造了地上的野兽, 各从其类; 牲畜, 各从其类; 地上的各种昆虫, 各从其类. 神看这是好的.

1:26 And God said, “Let us make humankind in our image and according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every moving thing that moves upon the earth.”
神说: “我们要照着我们的形象, 按着我们的样式造人; 使他们管理海里的鱼,空中的鸟,地上的牲畜, 以及全地, 和地上所有爬行的生物! ”

1:27 So God created humankind in his image, in the likeness of God he created him, male and female he created them.
于是, 神照着自己的形象创造人; 就是照着他的形象创造了人; 他所创造的有男有女.

1:28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of heaven, and over every animal that moves upon the earth.”
神就赐福给他们, 对他们说: “要繁殖增多, 充满这地, 征服它; 也要管理海里的鱼,空中的鸟和地上爬行的所有生物. ”

1:29 And God said, “Look—I am giving to you every plant that bears seed which is on the face of the whole earth, and every kind of tree that bears fruit. They shall be yours as food.”
神说: “看哪! 我把全地上结种子的各样蔬菜, 和一切果树上有种子的果子, 都赐给你们作食物.

1:30 And to every kind of animal of the earth and to every bird of heaven, and to everything that moves upon the earth in which there is life I am giving every green plant as food.” And it was so.
至于地上的各种野兽, 空中的各种飞鸟, 和地上爬行有生命的各种活物, 我把一切青草蔬菜赐给它们作食物. ”事就这样成了.

1:31 And God saw everything that he had made and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.
神看他所造的一切都很好. 有晚上, 有早晨; 这是第六日.

Genesis - Chapter 2

2:1 And heaven and earth and all their array were finished.
这样, 天地万物都造齐了.

2:2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
第七日, 神完成了他所作的工; 在第七日神歇了他所作的一切工.

2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and he sanctified it, because on it he rested from all his work of creating that there was to do.
神赐福第七日, 把它分别为圣, 因为在这一日, 神停了他一切所创造的工, 歇息了.

2:4 These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven—
这是创造天地的起源: 耶和华神造天地的时候,

2:5 before any plant of the field was on earth, and before any plant of the field had sprung up, because Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no human being to cultivate the ground,
原野上还没有树木, 田间的蔬菜还没有长起来, 因为耶和华神还没有降雨在地上, 也没有人耕种土地;

2:6 but a stream would rise from the earth and water the whole face of the ground—
不过有雾气从地面上升, 滋润全地.

2:7 when Yahweh God formed the man of dust from the ground, and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
耶和华神用地上的尘土造成人形, 把生气吹进他的鼻孔里, 那人就成了有生命的活人, 名叫亚当.

2:8 And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
耶和华神在东方的伊甸, 栽了一个园子, 把他所造的人放在那里.

2:9 And Yahweh God caused to grow every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food. And the tree of life was in the midst of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
耶和华神使各样的树从地上长起来, 能悦人的眼目, 也好作食物. 园子中间又有生命树, 和知善恶树.

2:10 Now a river flowed out from Eden that watered the garden, and from there it diverged and became four branches.
有一条河从伊甸流出来, 灌溉那园子; 从那里分支, 成了四道河的源头.

2:11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It went around all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
第一道河名叫比逊, 就是环绕哈腓拉全地的, 在那里有金子;

2:12 (The gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stones are there.)
那地的金子是好的; 在那里也有红玉和玛瑙.

2:13 And the name of the second is Gihon. It went around all the land of Cush.
第二道河名叫基训, 就是环绕古实全地的.

2:14 And the name of the third is Tigris. It flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
第三道河名叫底格里斯河(“底格里斯河”原文作“希底结”), 就是流向亚述东边的. 第四道河就是幼发拉底河(“幼发拉底河”原文作“伯拉河”).

2:15 And Yahweh God took the man and set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it.
耶和华神把那人安置在伊甸园里, 叫他耕种和看守那园子.

2:16 And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden you may freely eat,
耶和华神吩咐那人说: “园中各样树上的果子, 你都可以吃;

2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.”
只是那知善恶树的果子, 你不可吃; 因为你吃的时候, 你必要死. ”

2:18 Then Yahweh God said, “it is not good that the man is alone. I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.”
耶和华神说: “那人独居不好, 我要为他造个和他相配的帮手. ”

2:19 And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and he brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called that living creature was its name.
耶和华神用泥土造了野地的各样野兽, 和空中的各样飞鸟, 把它们都带到那人面前, 看他给它们叫什么名字; 那人怎样叫各样有生命的活物, 那就是它的名字.

2:20 And the man gave names to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heaven and to all the wild animals. But for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.
那人就给各样牲畜,空中的雀鸟, 和野地的各样走兽起了名字; 只是那人没有遇见一个和他相配的帮手.

2:21 And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man. While he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh where it had been.
耶和华神使那人沉睡. 他熟睡的时候, 耶和华神取了他的一根肋骨, 又使肉在原处复合.

2:22 And Yahweh God fashioned the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.
然后, 耶和华神用从那人身上所取的肋骨, 造了一个女人, 带她到那人面前.

2:23 And the man said, “She is now bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; she shall be called ‘Woman,’ for she was taken from man.”
那人说: “这是我骨中的骨, 肉中的肉; 她当称为女人, 因她是从男人身上取出来的. ”

2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cling to his wife, and they shall be as one flesh.
因此人要离开父母, 和妻子连合, 二人成为一体.

2:25 And the man and his wife, both of them, were naked, and they were not ashamed.
那时, 夫妻二人赤身露体, 彼此都不觉得羞耻.

Genesis - Chapter 3

3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God indeed say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
在耶和华神所造野地所有的活物中, 蛇是最狡猾的. 蛇对女人说: “神真的说过, 你们不可吃园中任何树上的果子吗? ”

3:2 The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
女人对蛇说: “园中树上的果子, 我们都可以吃;

3:3 but from the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, ‘You shall not eat from it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die’.”
只有园中那棵树上的果子, 神曾经说过: ‘你们不可吃, 也不可摸, 免得你们死. ’”

3:4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die.
蛇对女人说: “你们决不会死;

3:5 For God knows that on the day you both eat from it, then your eyes will be opened and you both shall be like gods, knowing good and evil.”
因为神知道你们吃那果子的时候, 你们的眼睛就开了; 你们会像神一样, 能知道善恶. ”

3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise, then she took from its fruit and she ate. And she gave it also to her husband with her, and he ate.
于是, 女人见那棵树的果子好作食物, 又悦人的眼目, 而且讨人喜爱, 能使人有智慧, 就摘下果子来吃了; 又给了和她在一起的丈夫, 他也吃了.

3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed together fig leaves and they made for themselves coverings.
二人的眼睛就开了, 才知道自己是赤身露体的. 于是把无花果树的叶子编缝起来, 为自己做裙子.

3:8 Then they heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden at the windy time of day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
天起凉风的时候, 那人和他的妻子听见耶和华神在园中行走的声音, 就藏在园子的树林中, 躲避耶和华神的面.

3:9 And Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
耶和华神呼唤那人, 对他说: “你在哪里? ”

3:10 And he replied, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid because I am naked, so I hid myself.”
他回答: “我在园中听见你的声音, 就害怕; 因为我赤身露体, 就藏了起来. ”

3:11 Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree from which I forbade you to eat?”
耶和华神说: “谁告诉你, 你是赤身露体呢? 难道你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗? ”

3:12 And the man replied, “The woman whom you gave to be with me—she gave to me from the tree and I ate.”
那人说: “你所赐给我,和我在一起的那女人, 她把树上的果子给我, 我就吃了. ”

3:13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
耶和华神对女人说: “你作了什么事呢? ”女人说: “那蛇欺哄我, 我就吃了. ”

3:14 Then Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you will be cursed more than any domesticated animal and more than any wild animal. On your belly you shall go and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.
耶和华神对蛇说: “因为你作了这事, 就必在所有的牲畜和田野的活物中受咒诅; 你要用肚子行走, 一生都吃泥土.

3:15 And I will put hostility between you and between the woman, and between your offspring and between her offspring; he will strike you on the head, and you will strike him on the heel.”
我要使你和女人彼此为仇, 你的后裔和女人的后裔, 也彼此为仇, 女人的后裔要伤你的头, 你要伤他的脚跟. ”

3:16 To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bear children. And to your husband shall be your desire. And he shall rule over you.”
耶和华神对女人说: “我要大大增加你怀胎的痛苦, 你必在痛苦中生产儿女; 你要恋慕你的丈夫, 他却要管辖你. ”

3:17 And to Adam he said, “Because you listened to the voice of your wife and you ate from the tree from which I forbade you to eat, the ground shall be cursed on your account. In pain you shall eat from it all the days of your life.
耶和华神又对亚当说: “因为你听从了你妻子的话, 吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子; 地就必因你的缘故受咒诅; 你必终生劳苦, 才能从地里得吃的.

3:18 And thorns and thistles shall sprout for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field.
地要给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来; 你也要吃田间的蔬菜;

3:19 By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, until your return to the ground. For from it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
你必汗流满面, 才有饭吃, 直到你归回地土, 因为你是从地土取出来的; 你既然是尘土, 就要归回尘土. ”

3:20 And the man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all life.
亚当给他的妻子起名叫夏娃, 因为她是众生之母.

3:21 And Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skin, and he clothed them.
耶和华神为亚当和他的妻子做了皮衣, 给他们穿上.

3:22 And Yahweh God said, “Look—the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil. What if he stretches out his hand and takes also from the tree of life and eats, and lives forever?”
耶和华神说: “那人和我们中间的一个相似, 能知善恶; 现在恐怕他伸出手来, 摘取生命树上的果子吃, 就永远活着. ”

3:23 And Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
耶和华神就把他赶出伊甸园, 去耕种他自己也是从那里出来的地土.

3:24 So he drove the man out, and placed cherubim east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming, turning sword to guard the way to the tree of life.
于是把亚当驱逐出去, 又派基路伯在伊甸园的东边, 拿着旋转发火焰的剑, 把守到生命树去的路.

Genesis - Chapter 4

4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain. And she said, “I have given birth to a man with the help of Yahweh.”
亚当和他的妻子夏娃同房, 夏娃就怀孕, 生了该隐, 就说: “借着耶和华的帮助, 我得了一个男儿. ”

4:2 Then she bore his brother Abel. And Abel became a keeper of sheep, and Cain became a tiller of the ground.
她又生了该隐的弟弟亚伯. 亚伯是牧羊的, 该隐是种地的.

4:3 And in the course of time Cain brought an offering from the fruit of the ground to Yahweh,
有一天, 该隐把地里的出产拿来, 当作礼物献给耶和华.

4:4 and Abel also brought an offering from the choicest firstlings of his flock. And Yahweh looked with favor to Abel and to his offering,
亚伯也把自己羊群中一些头生的, 和羊的脂油拿来献上. 耶和华看中了亚伯和他的礼物;

4:5 but to Cain and to his offering he did not look with favor. And Cain became very angry, and his face fell.
只是没有看中该隐和他的礼物. 该隐就非常忿怒, 垂头丧气.

4:6 And Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why is your face fallen?
耶和华对该隐说: “你为什么忿怒呢? 你为什么垂头丧气呢?

4:7 If you do well will I not accept you? But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. And its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”
你若行得好, 岂不可以抬起头来吗? 你若行得不好, 罪就伏在门口了; 它要缠住你, 你却要制伏它. ”

4:8 Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out into the field.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
该隐对他的弟弟亚伯说: “我们到田间去吧. ”他们正在田间的时候, 该隐就起来袭击他的弟弟亚伯, 把他杀了.

4:9 Then Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?”
耶和华问该隐: “你的弟弟亚伯在哪里? ”他回答: “我不知道; 难道我是看守我弟弟的吗? ”

4:10 And he said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
耶和华说: “你作了什么事呢? 你弟弟的血有声音从地里向我呼叫.

4:11 So now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand.
地开了口, 从你手里接受了你弟弟的血, 现在你要从这地受咒诅.

4:12 When you till the ground it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall be a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth.”
你种地, 地也不再给你效力; 你必在地上流离失所. ”

4:13 And Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
该隐对耶和华说: “我的刑罚太重, 过于我所能担当.

4:14 Look, you have driven me out today from the face of the ground, and from your face I must hide. I will be a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth, and it will happen that whoever finds me will kill me.”
看哪, 今日你赶逐我离开这地, 以致我要躲避你的面; 我必在地上流离失所, 遇见我的, 都要杀我. ”

4:15 Then Yahweh said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” Then Yahweh put a sign on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.
耶和华对该隐说: “绝不会这样, 杀该隐的, 必遭报七倍. ”耶和华就给该隐立了一个记号, 免得遇见他的人击杀他.

4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh, and he settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
于是该隐从耶和华面前出去, 住在伊甸东边的挪得地.

4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And when he built a city he named the city after his son, Enoch.
该隐和妻子同房, 她就怀孕, 生了以诺. 该隐建造了一座城, 就按着他儿子的名, 给那城叫作以诺.

4:18 And to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech.
以诺生以拿, 以拿生米户雅利, 米户雅利生玛土撒利, 玛土撒利生拉麦.

4:19 And Lamech took to himself two wives. The name of the first was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah.
拉麦娶了两个妻子, 一个名叫亚大, 另一个名叫洗拉.

4:20 And Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and those who have livestock.
亚大生雅八, 雅八就是居住帐棚,牧养牲畜的人的鼻祖.

4:21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and wind instruments.
雅八的兄弟名叫犹八; 犹八是所有弹琴吹箫的人的鼻祖.

4:22 Then Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain who forged all kinds of tools of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
洗拉也生了土八．该隐, 就是打造各种铜铁器具的匠人; 土八．该隐的妹妹是拿玛.

4:23 Then Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice; O wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for injuring me.
拉麦对他的两个妻子说: “亚大和洗拉, 要听我的声音; 拉麦的妻子, 聆听我的话: 壮年人伤我, 我必杀他; 青年人损我, 我必害他;

4:24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech will be avenged seventy and seven times.
人若杀该隐, 要遭报七倍; 人若杀拉麦, 必遭报七十个七倍! ”

4:25 Then Adam knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son. And she called his name Seth, for she said “God has appointed to me another child in the place of Abel, because Cain killed him.”
亚当又和妻子同房, 她就生了一个儿子, 给他起名叫塞特, 因为她说: “神给我立了另一个后裔代替亚伯, 因为该隐杀了他. ”

4:26 And as for Seth, he also fathered a son, and he called his name Enosh. At that time he began to call on the name of Yahweh.
塞特也生了一个儿子, 就给他起名叫以挪士. 那时人才开始呼求耶和华的名.

洁净的牲畜, 你要各带七公七母; 不洁净的牲畜, 你要各带一公一母;

7:3 as well as from the birds of heaven seven pairs, male and female, to keep their kind alive on the face of the earth.
空中的飞鸟, 也要各带七公七母, 以便传种, 活在全地上;

7:4 For within seven days I will send rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will blot out all the living creatures that I have made from upon the face of the ground.”

7:13 On this same day, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife of Noah and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark,
就在那一天, 挪亚带着他的儿子闪,含,雅弗, 以及他的妻子和三个儿媳, 一同进了方舟.

7:14 they and all the living creatures according to their kind, and all the domesticated animals according to their kind, and all the creatures that creep upon the earth according to their kind, all the birds according to their kind, every winged creature.
他们一家, 所有走兽各从其类, 所有牲畜各从其类, 所有在地上爬行的动物各从其类, 所有有羽有翼的飞禽各从其类,

7:15 And they came to Noah to the ark, two of each, from every living thing in which was the breath of life.

7:17 And the flood came forty days and forty nights upon the earth. And the waters increased, and lifted the ark, and it rose up from the earth.
洪水就临到地上四十天; 水不断上涨, 把方舟升起, 于是方舟就从地上浮起来.

7:18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth. And the ark went upon the surface of the waters.
水势甚大, 在地上大大上涨, 方舟就在水面上漂来漂去.

7:19 And the waters prevailed overwhelmingly upon the earth, and they covered all the high mountains which were under the entire heaven.
水势在地面上越来越大, 天下所有的高山都被淹没了.

7:20 The waters swelled fifteen cubits above the mountains, covering them.
水势浩大, 比众山高出七公尺, 山岭都被淹没了.

7:21 And every living thing that moved on the earth perished—the birds, and the domesticated animals, and the wild animals, and everything that swarmed on the earth, and all humankind.
凡有生命仍在地上行动的, 无论是飞鸟或是牲畜, 走兽或是在地上滋生的各样小生物, 以及所有的人都死了;

7:22 Everything in whose nostrils was the breath of life, among all that was on dry land, died.
仍在陆地上, 鼻孔里有气息的生灵都死了.

7:23 And he blotted out every living thing upon the surface of the ground, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained.
耶和华把地上的所有生物, 从人类到牲畜, 爬行动物, 以及空中的飞鸟都除灭了; 于是, 这一切都从地上消灭了. 只留下挪亚和那些与挪亚一同在方舟里的人.

水势浩大, 在地上共一百五十天.

Genesis - Chapter 8

8:1 And God remembered Noah and all the wild animals, and all the domesticated animals that were with him in the ark. And God caused a wind to blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
神顾念挪亚和所有与他一同在方舟里的走兽和牲畜; 神使风吹过大地, 水就渐渐退了.

8:2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
深渊的泉源和天上的窗户, 都关闭起来; 天降的大雨也止住了.

8:3 And the waters receded from the earth gradually, and the waters abated at the end of one hundred and fifty days.
水从地上不断退去, 过了一百五十天, 水就消退了.

8:4 And the ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
七月十七日, 方舟停在亚拉腊山上.

8:5 And the waters continued to recede to the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
水继续消退, 直到十月; 到了十月初一, 山顶都露出来了.

8:6 And it happened that at the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made.
过了四十天, 挪亚开了他所做的方舟的窗户,

8:7 And he sent out a raven; it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from upon the earth.
放了一只乌鸦出去. 地上的水还没有干, 那乌鸦就一直飞来飞去.

8:8 And he sent out a dove to see whether the waters had subsided from upon the ground.
他又放了一只鸽子出去, 要看看水从地上退了没有.

8:9 But the dove did not find a resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the earth. And he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
因为遍地都是水, 那鸽子找不着歇脚的地方, 就回到挪亚的方舟那里; 于是, 挪亚伸出手去, 把鸽子接进方舟里来.

8:10 And he waited another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
他再等了七天, 又把鸽子从方舟里放出去.

8:11 And the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly-picked olive tree leaf was in her mouth. And Noah knew that the waters had subsided from upon the earth.
到了黄昏的时候, 鸽子回到挪亚那里, 嘴里叼着一块新摘下来的橄榄树叶, 挪亚就知道地上的水已经退了.

8:12 And he waited seven more days, and he sent out the dove. But it did not return again to him.
挪亚再等了七天, 又把鸽子放出去, 鸽子就再没有回到他那里.

8:13 And it happened that, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters dried up from upon the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And behold, the face of the ground was dried up.
到挪亚六百零一岁的时候, 就在正月初一, 地上的水都干了; 挪亚移开方舟的盖看看, 见地面已经干了.

8:14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
到了二月二十七日, 大地就都干了.

8:15 And God spoke to Noah, saying:
神告诉挪亚说:

8:16 “Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
“你要从方舟出来, 你和你的妻子,儿子, 以及儿媳都要和你一同出来.

8:17 Bring out with you all the living things which are with you, from all the living creatures—birds, and animals, and everything that creeps on the earth, and let them swarm on the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
所有和你在一起有生命的活物: 飞鸟,牲畜和一切在地上爬行的动物, 你都要带出来, 使它们可以在地上滋生,繁殖, 也可以在地上增多. ”

8:18 So Noah went out, with his sons and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
于是, 挪亚出来了, 他的儿子,妻子和儿媳都与他一同出来了;

8:19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, and everything that moves upon the earth, according to its families, went out from the ark.
各样走兽,牲畜,飞禽和各样在地上爬行的动物, 各从自己的族类, 都出了方舟.

8:20 And Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and he took from all the clean animals and from all the clean birds, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
挪亚给耶和华筑了一座祭坛, 拿各样洁净的牲畜和飞禽, 献在祭坛上作为燔祭.

8:21 And Yahweh smelled the soothing fragrance, and Yahweh said to himself, “Never again will I curse the ground for the sake of humankind, because the inclination of the heart of humankind is evil from his youth. Nor will I ever again destroy all life as I have done.
耶和华闻了那馨香的气味, 就心里说: “我必不再因人的缘故咒诅这地(因为人从小时开始心中所想的都是邪恶的); 我也必不再照着我作过的, 击杀各样的活物.

8:22 As long as the earth endures, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will not cease.
大地尚存之日, 播种,收割, 寒暑,冬夏,白昼和黑夜必然循环不息. ”

Genesis - Chapter 9

9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
神赐福给挪亚和他的儿子, 对他们说: “你们要繁殖增多, 充满大地.

9:2 And fear of you and dread of you shall be upon every animal of the earth, and on every bird of heaven, and on everything that moves upon the ground, and on all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they shall be given.
地上各样的走兽, 空中各样的飞鸟, 甚至地上各样爬行的动物, 和海里各样的鱼类, 都要对你们惊恐惧怕; 这一切都已经交在你们手里了.

9:3 Every moving thing that lives shall be for you as food. As I gave the green plants to you, I have now given you everything.
所有活着的动物都可以作你们的食物, 我把这一切都赐给你们, 好像我把青菜赐给了你们一样.

9:4 Only you shall not eat raw flesh with blood in it.
唯独带着生命的肉, 就是带着血的肉, 你们却不可吃.

9:5 And your lifeblood I will require; from every animal I will require it. And from the hand of humankind, from the hand of each man to his brother I will require the life of humankind.
流你们的血,害你们生命的, 我必向他们追偿; 无论是走兽或人类, 甚至各人自己的兄弟, 我必要他偿命.

9:6 “As for the one shedding the blood of humankind, by humankind his blood shall be shed, for God made humankind in his own image.
流人血的, 人也必流他的血; 因为神造人, 是按着他自己的形象.

9:7 “And you, be fruitful and multiply, swarm on the earth and multiply in it.”
你们要繁殖增多; 要在地上滋生,增多. ”

9:8 And God said to Noah and to his sons with him,
神告诉挪亚和与他在一起的儿子说:

9:9 “As for me, behold, I am establishing my covenant with you and with your seed after you,
“看哪, 我现在与你们和你们的后裔立约,

9:10 and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every animal of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark to all the animals of the earth.
并且与所有跟你们在一起有生命的活物立约, 包括飞鸟,牲畜和所有地上的走兽, 就是与从方舟里出来的立约.

9:11 I am establishing my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will there ever be a flood that destroys the earth.”
我要与你们立约: 凡有生命的必不再被洪水除灭, 再没有洪水来毁灭大地了. ”

9:12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you, and between every living creature that is with you for future generations.
神说: “这就是我与你们, 与一切跟你们同在有生命的活物所立之约的记号, 直到万代;

9:13 My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth.
我把天虹放在云彩中, 作我与大地立约的记号.

9:14 And when I make clouds appear over the earth the bow shall be seen in the clouds.
我使云彩遮盖大地时, 天虹出现云彩中,

9:15 Then I will remember my covenant that is between me and you, and between every living creature, with all flesh. And the waters of a flood will never again cause the destruction of all flesh.
我就记念我与你们和一切有生命的活物所立的约: 水不再成为洪水, 来毁灭凡有生命的.

9:16 The bow shall be in the clouds, and I will see it, so as to remember the everlasting covenant between God and between every living creature, with all flesh that is upon the earth.”
天虹在云彩中出现, 我看见了就记念我与地上一切有生命的活物, 所立的永约. ”

9:17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am establishing between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
神对挪亚说: “这就是我与地上凡有生命的立约的记号. ”

9:18 Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)
挪亚的儿子, 从方舟里出来的, 就是闪,含,雅弗; 含是迦南的父亲.

9:19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
这三个人是挪亚的儿子, 全地的人都是从这些人播散开来的.

9:20 And Noah began to be a man of the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
挪亚作起农夫来, 栽种葡萄园.

9:21 And he drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he exposed himself in the midst of his tent.
他喝酒, 喝醉了, 就在帐棚里光着身子.

9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and he told his two brothers outside.
迦南的父亲含看见了自己父亲的下体, 就去告诉在外面的两个兄弟.

9:23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, and the two of them put it on their shoulders and, walking backward, they covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see the nakedness of their father.
于是, 闪和雅弗二人拿了件外衣, 搭在自己的肩膀上, 倒退着进去, 盖上他们父亲的下体; 因为他们背着脸, 所以没有看见他们父亲的下体.

9:24 Then Noah awoke from his drunkenness, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
挪亚酒醒以后, 知道小儿子对他所作的事,

9:25 And he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a slave of slaves he shall be to his brothers.”
就说: “迦南应当受咒诅, 他必给自己的兄弟, 作奴仆的奴仆. ”

9:26 Then he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem, and let Canaan be a slave to them.
又说: “耶和华, 闪的神, 是应当称颂的; 愿迦南作他的奴仆.

9:27 May God make space for Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be a slave for him.”
愿神使雅弗扩展, 使雅弗住在闪的帐棚里; 愿迦南作他的奴仆. ”

9:28 And Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
洪水以后, 挪亚又活了三百五十年.

9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
挪亚共活了九百五十岁, 就死了.

13:6 And the land could not support them so as to live together, because their possessions were so many that they were not able to live together.
那地容不下他们住在一起; 因为他们的财物很多, 所以他们再也不能住在一起.

牧养亚伯兰牲畜的和牧养罗得牲畜的, 起了纷争; 当时迦南人和比利洗人还住在那地.

亚伯兰就对罗得说: “你我之间, 切不可纷争; 你的牧人和我的牧人之间, 也不可纷争, 因为我们是至亲.

13:9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you want what is on the left, then I will go right; if you want what is on the right, I will go left.”
全地不都是在你面前吗? 请你离开我吧! 你若向左, 我就向右; 你若向右, 我就向左. ”

罗得举目, 看见约旦河整个平原, 直到琐珥, 都有水灌溉; 在耶和华毁灭所多玛和蛾摩拉之前, 这地好像耶和华的园子, 也像埃及地一样.

13:11 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan. And Lot journeyed from the east, and so they separated from each other.
罗得选择了约旦河整个平原, 于是向东移动, 他们就彼此分开了.

罗得离开亚伯兰以后, 耶和华对亚伯兰说: “你要举目, 从你所在的地方向东南西北观看.

13:15 for all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your descendants, forever.
你看见的地方, 我都要赐给你和你的后裔, 直到永远.

13:16 I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth which, if anyone were able to count the dust of the earth, your descendants would be so counted.

13:17 Arise, go through the length of the land and through its breadth, for I will give it to you.”
你起来, 纵横走遍这地, 因为我必把这地赐给你. ”

13:18 So Abram pitched his tent, and he came and settled at the oaks of Mamre, which were at Hebron. And there he built an altar to Yahweh.
于是, 亚伯兰渐渐挪移帐棚, 来到希伯仑幔利的橡树附近, 在那里居住, 也在那里为耶和华筑了一座祭坛.

15:4 And behold, the word of Yahweh came to him saying, “This person will not be your heir, but your own son will be your heir.”
耶和华的话又临到亚伯兰说: “这人必不会作你的继承人; 你亲生的才会是你的继承人. ”

亚伯兰说: “主耶和华啊, 我凭什么能知道我必得这地为业呢? ”

耶和华对他说: “你给我拿一头三岁的母牛, 一只三岁的母山羊, 一只三岁的公绵羊, 一只斑鸠和一只雏鸽. ”

Genesis - Chapter 16

16:1 Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had borne him no children. And she had a female Egyptian servant, and her name was Hagar.
亚伯兰的妻子撒莱, 没有为他生孩子. 撒莱却有一个婢女, 是埃及人, 名叫夏甲.

16:2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Look, please, Yahweh has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my servant; perhaps I will have children by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
撒莱对亚伯兰说: “请看, 耶和华使我不能生育, 求你去亲近我的婢女, 或者我可以从她得孩子. ”亚伯兰就听从了撒莱的话.

16:3 Then Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband as his wife.
亚伯兰在迦南地住满了十年, 他的妻子撒莱, 把自己的婢女埃及人夏甲, 给了她的丈夫亚伯兰为妾.

16:4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, then her mistress grew small in her eyes.
亚伯兰与夏甲亲近, 夏甲就怀了孕. 夏甲见自己有了孕, 就轻看她的主母.

16:5 And Sarai said to Abram, “may my harm be upon you. I had my servant sleep with you, and when she saw that she had conceived, she no longer respected me. May Yahweh judge between me and you!”
撒莱对亚伯兰说: “我因你受屈; 我把我的婢女送到你的怀中, 她见自己有了孕, 就轻看我. 愿耶和华在你我之间主持公道. ”

16:6 And Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your servant is under your authority. Do to her that which is good in your eyes.” And Sarai mistreated her, and she fled from her presence.
亚伯兰对撒莱说: “你的婢女在你手中, 你看怎样好, 就怎样待她吧. ”于是撒莱虐待夏甲, 她就从撒莱面前逃走了.

16:7 And the angel of Yahweh found her at a spring of water in the wilderness, at the spring by the road of Shur.
耶和华的使者在旷野的水泉旁边, 就是在到书珥路上的水旁边, 遇到了她,

16:8 And he said to Hagar, the servant of Sarai, “From where have you come, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of Sarai my mistress.”
就问她: “撒莱的婢女夏甲啊, 你从哪里来? 要到哪里去? ”夏甲回答: “我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出来. ”

16:9 Then the angel of Yahweh said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her authority.”
耶和华的使者对她说: “回到你主母那里去, 服在她的手下! ”

16:10 And the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, so that they cannot be counted for their abundance.”
耶和华的使者又对她说: “我必使你的后裔人丁兴旺, 多到不可胜数. ”

16:11 And the angel of Yahweh said to her: “Behold, you are pregnant and shall have a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, for Yahweh has listened to your suffering.
耶和华的使者再对她说: “看哪, 你已经怀了孕, 你要生一个儿子; 你要给他起名叫以实玛利, 因为耶和华听见了你的苦情.

16:12 And he shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will be against everyone, and the hand of everyone will be against him, and he will live in hostility with all his brothers.”
他将来为人, 必像野驴. 他的手要攻打人, 人的手也要攻打他. 他必住在众兄弟的东面. ”

16:13 So she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are El-Roi,” for she said, “Here I have seen after he who sees me.”
于是, 夏甲给那对她说话的耶和华, 起名叫“你是看顾人的神”, 因为她说: “在这里我不是也看见了那位看顾人的吗? ”

16:14 Therefore the well was called Beer-Lahai-Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
因此, 这井名叫庇耳．拉海．莱, 是在加低斯和巴列之间.

16:15 And Hagar had a child for Abram, a son. And Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore to him, Ishmael.
夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子, 亚伯兰就给夏甲所生的儿子, 起名叫以实玛利.

16:16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
亚伯兰八十六岁的时候, 夏甲给他生了以实玛利.

Genesis - Chapter 17

17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old Yahweh appeared to Abram. And he said to him, “I am El-Shaddai; walk before me and be blameless
亚伯兰九十九岁的时候, 耶和华向他显现, 对他说: “我是全能的神, 你要在我面前行事为人; 你要作完全人.

17:2 so that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you exceedingly.”
我要与你立约, 要使你的后裔人丁兴旺. ”

17:3 Then Abram fell upon his face and God spoke with him, saying,
于是亚伯兰俯伏在地, 神又告诉他, 说:

17:4 “As for me, behold, my covenant shall be with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
“看哪, 这就是我和你所立的约: 你要作多国的父.

17:5 Your name shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.
你的名不要再叫亚伯兰, 要叫亚伯拉罕, 因为我已经立了你作万国的父.

17:6 And I will make you exceedingly fruitful. I will make you a nation, and kings shall go out from you.
我要使你极其昌盛, 国度因你而立, 君王必从你而出.

17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and between your offspring after you, throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant to be as God for you and to your offspring after you.
我要与你, 和你世世代代的后裔, 坚立我的约, 成为永远的约, 使我作你和你的后裔的神.

17:8 And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land in which you are living as an alien, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting property. And I will be to them as God.”
我要把你现在寄居的地, 就是迦南全地, 赐给你和你的后裔, 作永远的产业, 我也要作他们的神. ”

17:9 And God said to Abraham, “Now as for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you, throughout their generations.
神又对亚伯拉罕说: “你和你世世代代的后裔都要谨守我的约.

17:10 This is my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you, and also with your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
我与你和你的后裔所立的这约, 是你们应当谨守的, 就是你们所有的男子, 都要受割礼.

17:11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
你们都要割去身上的包皮, 这就是我与你们立约的记号了.

17:12 And at eight days of age you shall yourselves circumcise every male belonging to your generations and the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner who is not from your offspring.
你们中间世世代代所有的男子, 无论是在家里生的, 或是用银子从不是属你后裔的外族人买来的, 生下来第八日都要受割礼.

在你家里生的, 和你用银子买来的, 都一定要受割礼. 这样, 我的约就刻在你们身上, 作永远的约.

17:14 And as for any uncircumcised male who has not circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.
但不受割礼的男子, 就是没有割去身上的包皮的, 那人必从民中剪除, 因为他违背了我的约. ”

17:15 And God said to Abraham, “as for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, for Sarah shall be her name.
神又对亚伯拉罕说: “至于你的妻子撒莱, 不要再叫她的名撒莱, 要叫撒拉.

17:16 And I will bless her; moreover, I give to you from her a son. And I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations. Kings of peoples shall come from her.”
我必赐福给她, 也必使她为你生一个儿子; 我要赐福给她, 她也要作多国的母, 万族的君王必从她而出. ”

17:17 And Abraham fell upon his face and laughed. And he said in his heart, “Can a child be born to a man a hundred years old, or can Sarah bear a child at ninety?”
亚伯拉罕就俯伏在地, 笑了起来, 心里说: “一百岁的人, 还能生孩子吗? 撒拉已经九十岁了, 还能生育吗? ”

17:18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
亚伯拉罕对神说: “愿以实玛利能在你面前活着! ”

17:19 And God said, “No, but Sarah your wife shall bear a son for you, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant to his offspring after him.
神说: “你的妻子撒拉, 真的要为你生一个儿子, 你要给他起名叫以撒, 我要与他坚立我的约, 作他后裔的永约.

17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I will bless him and I will make him fruitful, and I will multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
至于以实玛利, 我也应允你. 看哪, 我已经赐福给他; 我必使他昌盛, 子孙极其众多; 他必生十二个族长; 我也必使他成为大国.

17:21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this appointed time next year.”
但我的约是要和以撒坚立的. 这以撒, 就是明年这时候, 撒拉要为你生的. ”

17:22 When he finished speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.
神和亚伯拉罕说完了话, 就离开他上升去了.

17:23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son and all who were born of his house, and all those acquired by his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the same day that God spoke with him.
就在那一天, 亚伯拉罕照着神吩咐他的, 给他儿子以实玛利, 和他家里所有的男子, 无论是在家里生的, 或是用银子买来的, 都割去了他们身上的包皮.

Genesis - Chapter 18

18:1 And Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he was sitting in the doorway of the tent at the heat of the day.
耶和华在幔利橡树那里, 向亚伯拉罕显现. 那时, 是一天中最热的时候, 亚伯拉罕正坐在帐棚门口;

18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men were standing near him. And he saw them and ran from the doorway of the tent to meet them. And he bowed down to the ground.
他举目观看, 忽然看见三个人在他对面站着; 亚伯拉罕看见了, 就从帐棚门口跑去迎接他们, 俯伏在地,

18:3 And he said, “My lord, if I have found favor in your eyes do not pass by your servant.
说: “我主啊, 我若在你眼前蒙恩, 求你不要离开你的仆人.

18:4 Let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest under the tree.
让我叫人拿点水来, 你们可以洗洗脚, 然后在树下歇一歇.

18:5 And let me bring a piece of bread, then refresh yourselves. Afterward you can pass on, once you have passed by with your servant.” Then they said, “Do so as you have said.”
让我拿点饼来给你们吃, 使你们可以恢复精力, 然后再走, 因为你们既然到了仆人这里来, 就应该这样. ”他们说: “就照着你所说的去作. ”

18:6 Then Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and he said, “Quickly—make three seahs of fine flour for kneading and make bread cakes!”
亚伯拉罕赶快进帐棚, 到撒拉那里, 说: “你快拿三斗细面调和, 作些饼. ”

18:7 And Abraham ran to the cattle and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, and he made haste to prepare it.
亚伯拉罕又跑到牛群里, 牵了一头又嫩又好的牛犊, 交给仆人; 仆人就赶快去预备.

18:8 Then he took curds and milk, and the calf which he prepared, and set it before them. And he was standing by them under the tree while they ate.
亚伯拉罕又拿了乳酪,奶和预备好的牛犊肉来, 摆在他们面前. 他们吃的时候, 亚伯拉罕在树下侍候他们.

18:9 And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “Here, in the tent.”
他们问亚伯拉罕: “你的妻子撒拉在哪里? ”他回答: “在帐棚里. ”

18:10 And he said, “I will certainly return to you in the spring, and look, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the doorway of the tent, and which was behind him.
其中一位说: “到明年这个时候, 我必回到你这里来. 那时, 你的妻子撒拉必生一个儿子. ”撒拉在那人后面的帐棚门口, 也听见了这话.

18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; the way of women had ceased to be for Sarah.
当时, 亚伯拉罕和撒拉都老了, 撒拉的月经也停止了.

18:12 So Sarah laughed to herself saying, “After I am worn out and my husband is old, shall this pleasure be to me?”
撒拉心里暗笑, 说: “现在我已经衰老了, 我的丈夫也老了, 我还有房事的乐趣吗? ”

18:13 Then Yahweh said to Abraham, “What is this that Sarah laughed, saying, ‘Is it indeed true that I will bear a child, now that I have grown old?’
耶和华对亚伯拉罕说: “撒拉为什么暗笑说: ‘我已经老了, 真的还能生育吗? ’

18:14 Is anything too difficult for Yahweh? At the appointed time I will return to you in the spring and Sarah shall have a son.”
耶和华岂有难成的事吗? 到明年这个时候, 我要回到你这里来, 那时, 撒拉必生一个儿子. ”

18:15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
撒拉害怕起来, 就否认, 说: “我没有笑. ”但那位说: “不, 你实在笑了. ”

18:16 Then the men set out from there, and they looked down upon Sodom. And Abraham went with them to send them on their way.
三人就从那里起身, 向着所多玛观望. 亚伯拉罕与他们同行, 要送他们一程.

18:17 Then Yahweh said, “Shall I conceal from Abraham what I am going to do?
耶和华说: “我要作的事, 岂可瞒着亚伯拉罕呢?

18:18 Abraham will surely become a great and strong nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed on account of him.
亚伯拉罕必要成为强大兴盛的国, 地上的万国, 都必因他得福.

18:19 For I have chosen him, that he will command his children and his household after him that they will keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham that which he said to him.”
我拣选了他, 是要他吩咐子孙, 和他的家属, 遵守我耶和华的道, 秉公行义, 好叫我耶和华应许亚伯拉罕的话都可实现. ”

18:20 Then Yahweh said, “Because the outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and because their sin is very serious,
耶和华说: “控告所多玛和蛾摩拉的声音甚大, 他们的罪恶极重.

18:21 I will go down and I will see. Have they done altogether according to its cry of distress which has come to me? If not, I will know.”
我现在要下去, 看看他们所行的, 是不是全像那声闻于我的控告; 如果不是, 我也会知道的. ”

18:22 And the men turned from there and went toward Sodom. And Abraham was still standing before Yahweh.
其中二人从那里动身, 向所多玛走去, 亚伯拉罕却仍然站在耶和华面前.

18:23 And Abraham drew near to Yahweh and said, “Will you also sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
亚伯拉罕上前说: “你真的要把义人和恶人一同除灭吗?

18:24 If perhaps there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city, will you also sweep them away and not forgive the place on account of the fifty righteous in her midst?
假如城中有五十个义人, 你还真的要除灭那地方, 不为城里的五十个义人而赦免那地方吗?

18:25 Far be it from you to do such a thing as this, to kill the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous would be as the wicked! Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do justice?”
你绝不会作这样的事: 把义人与恶人一同杀死, 把义人和恶人一样看待, 你绝不会这样! 审判全地的主, 岂可不行公义吗? ”

18:26 And Yahweh said, “If I find fifty righteous in Sodom, in the midst of the city, then I will forgive the whole place for their sake.”
耶和华说: “我若在所多玛城中找到五十个义人, 我就因他们的缘故, 赦免那地方所有的人. ”

18:27 Then Abraham answered and said, “Look, please, I was bold to speak to my Lord, but I am dust and ashes.
亚伯拉罕回答, 说: “我虽然是灰尘, 还大胆地对我主说话.

18:28 Perhaps the fifty righteous are lacking five—will you destroy the whole city on account of the five?” And he answered, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
假如这五十个义人中缺少了五个, 你会因为缺少了五个就毁灭全城吗? ”他说: “我若在那里找到四十五个, 我也不会毁灭那城. ”

18:29 And once again he spoke to him and said, “What if forty are found there?” And he answered, “I will not do it on account of the forty.”
亚伯拉罕再问他说: “假如在那里找到四十个呢? ”他回答: “我因这四十个的缘故, 也不这样作. ”

18:30 And he said, “Please, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if thirty be found there?” And he answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
亚伯拉罕说: “请我主不要动怒, 容我再问: ‘假如在那里找到三十个呢? ’”他回答: “我若在那里找到三十个, 也不这样作. ”

18:31 And he said, “Please, now, I was bold to speak to my Lord. What if twenty be found there?” And he answered, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”
亚伯拉罕说: “我再大胆地对我主说, 假如在那里找到二十个呢? ”他回答: “我因这二十个的缘故, 也不毁灭那城. ”

18:32 And he said, “Please, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak only once more. What if ten are found there?” And he answered, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
亚伯拉罕说: “请我主不要动怒, 容我问这最后的一次, 假如在那里找到十个呢? ”他回答: “我因这十个的缘故, 也不毁灭那城. ”

18:33 Then Yahweh left, as he finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
耶和华与亚伯拉罕说完了话, 就走了; 亚伯拉罕也回到自己的地方去了.

Genesis - Chapter 19

19:1 And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening. And Lot was sitting in the gateway of Sodom. Then Lot saw them and stood up to meet them. And he bowed down with his face to the ground.
黄昏的时候, 那两位天使到了所多玛, 当时罗得正坐在所多玛的城门口. 罗得一看见他们, 就起来迎接他们, 俯伏在地,

19:2 And he said, “Behold, my lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you can rise early and go on your way.” And they said, “No, but we will spend the night in the square.”
说: “我主啊, 请你们到仆人的家里住一夜, 洗洗你们的脚, 清早起来再赶路. ”他们回答: “不, 我们要在街上过夜. ”

19:3 But he urged them strongly, and they turned aside with him and came into his house. And he made a meal for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
但由于罗得再三的请求, 他们才肯跟他回去, 进了他的家. 罗得为他们预备了筵席, 烤了无酵饼, 他们就吃了.

19:4 Before they laid down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.
他们还没有躺下睡觉, 那城里的人, 就是所多玛的男人, 无论是年轻的或是年老的, 都从各处来围住罗得的房子.

19:5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we may know them.”
他们呼唤罗得, 对他说: “今晚到你这里来的人在哪里? 把他们带出来, 我们要与他们同房. ”

19:6 But Lot went out to them at the entrance, and he shut the door behind him.
罗得出来, 随手把门关上, 到门口众人那里,

19:7 And he said, “No, my brothers, please do not do such a wrong thing.
说: “我的弟兄们, 请不要作恶.

19:8 Behold, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Please, let me bring them out to you; then do to them as it seems good in your eyes. Only to these men do not do this thing, since they came under my roof for protection.”
看哪, 我有两个女儿, 是还没有和男人同房的, 让我把她们带出来, 你们高兴怎样待她们, 就怎样行吧! 只是这两个人, 因为他们是到舍下来的, 你们不可向他们作什么. ”

19:9 But they said, “Step aside!” Then they said, “This fellow came to dwell as a foreigner and he acts as a judge! Now we shall do worse to you than them!” And they pressed very hard against the man, against Lot, and they drew near to break the door.
众人却说: “滚开! ”又说: “一个来这里寄居的人, 竟作起审判官来; 现在我们要害你, 比害他们还要厉害. ”众人就向罗得极力拥挤, 他们冲前要打破房门.

19:10 Then the men reached out with their hands and brought Lot in to them, into the house, and they shut the door.
那两个人却伸出手来, 把罗得拉进屋里去, 并把门关上.

19:11 And the men who were at the entrance of the house they struck with blindness, both small and great, and they were unable to find the entrance.
然后击打那些门外的人, 使他们无论老少, 都眼目昏眩, 以致找不到门口.

19:12 Then the men said to Lot, “Who is here with you? Bring out from the place your sons-in-law, and your sons and your daughters, and all who are with you in the city.
那二人对罗得说: “你这里还有什么人没有? 无论是女婿,儿女, 或是城中所有属你的人, 都要把他们从这地方带走.

19:13 For we are about to destroy this place, because their cry has become great before Yahweh. Yahweh sent us to destroy it.”
我们快要毁灭这地方了, 因为控告他们的声音在耶和华面前实在很大, 所以耶和华派我们来毁灭这地方. ”

19:14 Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were taking his daughters and said, “Get up! Go out from this place, because Yahweh is going to destroy the city!” But it seemed like a joke in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
于是罗得出去, 告诉娶了他女儿的女婿说: “你们起来离开这地方; 因为耶和华就要毁灭这城. ”但是他的女婿以为他在开玩笑.

19:15 And as the dawn came up the angels urged Lot saying, “Get up, take your wife and your two daughters who are staying with you, lest you be destroyed with the punishment of the city.”
天快亮的时候, 两位天使催促罗得说: “起来, 带你的妻子, 和你这里的两个女儿出去, 免得你因这城的罪孽被除灭. ”

19:16 But when he lingered, the men seized him by his hand and his wife’s hand, and his two daughters by hand, on account of the mercy of Yahweh upon him. And they brought him out and set him outside of the city.
罗得还在犹豫不决的时候, 二人因为耶和华宽容罗得, 就拉着罗得的手, 和他妻子的手, 以及他两个女儿的手, 把他们带出来, 安置在城外.

19:17 And after bringing them outside one said, “Flee for your life; do not look behind you, and do not stand anywhere in the plain. Flee to the mountains lest you be destroyed.”
二人把他们带出来以后, 其中一位说: “逃命吧, 不要回头看, 也不可留在这片平原上, 要逃到山上去, 免得你被除灭. ”

19:18 And Lot said to them, “No, please, my lords.
罗得对他们说: “我主啊! 请不要这样.

19:19 Behold, your servant has found favor in your eyes and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot flee to the mountains, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.
看哪, 你仆人既然在你眼前蒙恩, 你又向我大施慈爱, 救活我的性命; 可是我还逃不到山上, 恐怕这灾祸就追上了我, 我就死了.

19:20 Behold, this city is near enough to flee there, and it is a little one. Please, let me flee there. Is it not a little one? Then my life shall be saved.”
看哪, 这座城很近, 可以逃到那里, 那只是一座小城, 请让我逃到那里去. 那不是一座小城吗? 这样我就可以活命了. ”

19:21 And he said to him, “Behold, I will grant this favor as well; that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
有一位天使对他说: “这事我也答应你, 你所说的这城, 我必不倾覆.

19:22 Escape there quickly, for I cannot do this thing until you get there.” Therefore, there name of the city was called Zoar.
你赶快逃到那里去, 因为你还没有到达那里, 我就不能作什么. ”因此那城名叫琐珥.

19:23 After the sun had risen upon the earth and Lot had entered Zoar,
罗得到达琐珥的时候, 太阳已经从地面升上来了.

19:24 Yahweh rained down from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yahweh.
当时, 耶和华就使硫磺与火, 从天上耶和华那里降与所多玛和蛾摩拉;

19:25 And he overthrew those cities and the whole plain, and the inhabitants of the cities and the vegetation of the ground.
把那些城和全平原, 以及城中所有的居民, 连地上生长的, 都毁灭了.

19:26 But his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
罗得的妻子向后一望, 就变成了盐柱.

19:27 And Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
亚伯拉罕清早起来, 到他从前站在耶和华面前的地方,

19:28 And he looked down upon the surface of Sodom and Gomorrah, and upon the whole surface of the land, the plain. And he saw that, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a smelting furnace.
向所多玛和蛾摩拉, 以及平原全地观望. 不料, 看见那地有烟上升, 好像烧窑的烟一样.

19:29 So it was, when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out from the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
神毁灭那平原上的众城, 倾覆罗得所住过的众城的时候, 神记念亚伯拉罕, 把罗得从倾覆中救出来.

19:30 And Lot went out from Zoar and settled in the hill country with his two daughters, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. So he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.
罗得因为怕住在琐珥, 就与他的两个女儿, 一同离开琐珥上了山, 住在那里; 他和两个女儿住在一个洞里.

19:31 And the firstborn daughter said to the younger one, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to come in to us according to the manner of all the land.
大女儿对小女儿说: “我们的爸爸已经老了, 这地又没有男人可以按着世上的常规进来与我们亲近.

19:32 Come, let us give our father wine to drink and let us lie with him that we may secure descendants through our father.”
来吧, 我们可以叫父亲喝酒, 然后与他同睡, 这样我们可以借着父亲保全后裔. ”

Genesis - Chapter 20

20:1 And Abraham journeyed from there to the land of the Negev, and he settled between Kadesh and Shur. And he dwelled as an alien in Gerar.
亚伯拉罕从那里迁到南地, 就住在加低斯和书珥中间. 亚伯拉罕寄居在基拉耳的时候,

20:2 And Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
曾经提到他的妻子撒拉说: “她是我的妹妹. ”于是基拉耳王亚比米勒派人来把撒拉取了去.

20:3 And God came to Abimelech in a dream at night. And he said to him, “Look, you are a dead man on account of the woman you have taken. For she is a married woman.”
当夜, 神在梦中来到亚比米勒那里, 对他说: “你该死, 因为你接来的那女人, 是个有夫之妇. ”

20:4 Now Abimelech had not approached her, so he said, “my Lord, will you even kill a righteous people?”
亚比米勒还没有亲近撒拉, 所以他说: “我主啊, 连正义的人你也要杀害吗?

20:5 Did not he himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ With integrity of my heart and with cleanness of my hands I did this.”
那人岂不是对我说: ‘她是我的妹妹’吗? 就是那女人自己也说: ‘他是我的哥哥’. 我作这事, 是手洁心清的. ”

20:6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you did this, and I also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore, I did not allow you to touch her.
神在梦中对他说: “我也知道你作这事, 是问心无愧的, 所以我也阻止你, 免得你得罪我. 因此我不容许你接触她.

20:7 So now, return the wife of the man, for he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you and you will live. And if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, and all that are yours.”
现在你要把那人的妻子还给他, 因为他是先知, 他要为你祷告, 你才可以存活. 你若不还给他, 你当知道, 你和所有属你的, 都死定了. ”

20:8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning. And he called all his servants and told them all these things, and the men were very afraid.
亚比米勒清早起来, 召了他的众臣仆来, 把这一切都说给他们听, 以致他们都很惧怕.

20:9 And Abimelech called for Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you that you brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
亚比米勒把亚伯拉罕召了来, 对他说: “你为什么向我们这样行呢? 我在什么事上得罪了你, 以致你给我和我的国带来这个大罪呢? 你对我作了不应该作的事. ”

20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What were you thinking that you did this thing?”
亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕说: “你为了什么缘故要这样作呢? ”

20:11 And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place; they will kill me on account of the matter of my wife.
亚伯拉罕回答: “因为我以为这地方必定没有敬畏神的人, 他们会因我妻子的缘故杀我.

20:12 Besides, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.
何况她也实在是我的妹妹; 她原是我同父异母的妹妹, 后来作了我的妻子.

20:13 And it happened that as God caused me to wander from the house of my father I said to her, ‘This is your loyal kindness that you must do for me at every place where we come: say concerning me, “He is my brother.” ’ ”
神叫我离开我父家, 在外飘流的时候, 我对她说: ‘我们无论到什么地方去, 你都要对人说: “他是我的哥哥. ”这就是你待我的恩情了. ’”

20:14 And Abimelech took sheep and cattle and male slaves and female slaves, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned Sarah his wife to him.
亚比米勒取了些牛羊,仆婢, 送给亚伯拉罕, 又把亚伯拉罕的妻子撒拉还给他.

20:15 And Abimelech said, “Here is my land before you; settle where it pleases you.”
亚比米勒说: “看哪, 我的国土都在你面前, 你喜欢哪里, 就住在哪里吧. ”

20:16 And to Sarah he said, “Look, I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother. It shall be an exoneration. You are vindicated before all who are with you.”
他又对撒拉说: “看哪, 我给了你哥哥一千银子, 作你在全家人面前的遮羞钱. 这样, 你在众人面前就算清白了. ”

20:17 And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his female servants so that they could bear children again.
亚伯拉罕祷告神, 神就医好了亚比米勒和他的妻子, 以及他的众婢女, 使她们能生育.

20:18 For Yahweh had completely closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of the matter of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
因为耶和华为了亚伯拉罕妻子撒拉的缘故, 曾经使亚比米勒家中所有的妇女, 都不能生育.

Genesis - Chapter 21

21:1 And Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said. And Yahweh did to Sarah as he had promised.
耶和华照着以前所说的, 眷顾撒拉; 耶和华按着他的应许, 给撒拉作成.

21:2 And she conceived, and Sarah bore to Abraham a son in his old age at the appointed time that God had told him.
亚伯拉罕年老的时候, 撒拉怀了孕, 到了神应许的日期, 就给亚伯拉罕生了一个儿子.

21:7 And she said, “Who would announce to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne a son to Abraham in his old age.”
又说: “谁能告诉亚伯拉罕, 撒拉要乳养儿女呢? 在他年老的时候, 我竟给他生了一个儿子. ”

21:8 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
孩子渐渐长大, 就断了奶. 以撒断奶的那天, 亚伯拉罕摆设盛大的筵席.

21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne Abraham, mocking.
撒拉看见那埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子在嬉戏, 就对亚伯拉罕说:

21:10 Then she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, with Isaac.”
“把这婢女和她的儿子赶出去, 因为这婢女的儿子不能和我的儿子以撒一同承受产业. ”

21:11 And the matter displeased Abraham very much on account of his son.
亚伯拉罕因他的儿子而非常烦恼.

21:12 Then God said to Abraham, “Do not be displeased on account of the boy and on account of the slave woman. Listen to everything that Sarah said to you, for through Isaac your offspring will be named.
神对亚伯拉罕说: “不要因这童子和你的婢女而烦恼. 撒拉对你说的话, 你都要听从; 因为以撒生的, 才可以称为你的后裔.

21:13 And I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation, for he is your offspring.”
至于这婢女的儿子, 我也要使他成为一国, 因为他也是你的后裔. ”

21:14 Then Abraham rose up early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder. And he sent her away with the child, and she went, wandering about in the wilderness, in Beersheba.
亚伯拉罕清早起来, 拿饼和一皮袋水, 给了夏甲, 放在她的肩膀上, 又把孩子交给她, 就打发她离开. 夏甲走了, 在别是巴的旷野飘荡.

21:15 And when the water was finished from the skin, she put the child under one of the bushes.
皮袋里的水用尽了, 夏甲就把孩子撇在一棵小树底下.

21:16 And she went and she sat a good distance away, for she said, “Let me not see the child’s death.” So she sat away from him and lifted up her voice and wept.
然后自己走开, 在离开约有一箭之远的地方, 相对而坐, 说: “我不忍眼看孩子死去. ”就相对坐着, 放声大哭.

21:17 And God heard the cry of the boy and the angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens and said to her, “What is the matter Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the cry of the boy from where he is.
神听见了童子的声音, 他的使者就从天上呼叫夏甲, 对她说: “夏甲啊, 你为什么这样呢? 不要害怕, 因为孩子在那里所发的声音神已经听见了.

21:18 Get up, take up the boy and take him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation.”
起来, 扶起孩子, 尽力保护他; 因为我要使他成为大国. ”

21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave a drink to the boy.
神开了夏甲的眼睛, 她就看见一口水井. 她去把皮袋盛满了水, 就给孩子喝.

21:20 And God was with the boy, and he grew and lived in the wilderness. And he became an expert with a bow.
神与孩子同在, 他渐渐长大, 住在旷野, 成了个弓箭手.

21:21 And he lived in the wilderness of Paran. And his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
他住在巴兰的旷野, 他的母亲从埃及地给他娶了一个妻子.

21:22 And it happened that at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “God is with you, in all that you do.
那时, 亚比米勒和他的军长非各对亚伯拉罕说: “在你所作的一切事上, 神都与你同在.

21:23 So now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal with me falsely, or with my descendants, or my posterity. According to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall pledge to do with me and with the land where you have dwelled as an alien.”
现在你要在这里指着神对我起誓, 你不会以诡诈待我和我的子子孙孙. 我怎样恩待了你, 你也要怎样恩待我和你寄居的地方. ”

21:24 And Abraham said, “I swear.”
亚伯拉罕回答: “我愿意起誓. ”

21:25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelech on account of the well of water that servants of Abimelech had seized.
亚伯拉罕因亚比米勒的仆人强占了一口水井, 就指责亚比米勒.

21:26 And Abimelech said, “I do not know who did this thing, neither did you tell me, nor have I heard of it except for today.”
亚比米勒说: “谁作了这事, 我不知道, 你都没有告诉我; 我现在才听见. ”

21:27 And Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. And the two of them made a covenant.
于是亚伯拉罕牵了牛羊来, 送给亚比米勒, 二人就彼此立约.

21:28 Then Abraham set off seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.

亚比米勒问亚伯拉罕: “你把这七只母羊羔放在另外一处, 是什么意思呢? ”

21:30 And he said, “You shall take the seven ewe-lambs from my hand as proof on my behalf that I dug this well.”
亚伯拉罕回答: “意思就是: 你从我手里接受这七只母羊羔, 好作我挖了这口井的证据. ”

21:31 Therefore that place is called Beersheba, because there the two of them swore an oath.
因此那地方名叫别是巴, 因为他们二人在那里起了誓.

21:32 And they made a covenant at Beersheba. And Abimelech, and Phicol his army commander stood and returned to the land of the Philistines.

22:2 And he said, “Take your son, your only child, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains where I will tell you.”
神说: “带着你的儿子, 就是你所爱的独生子以撒, 到摩利亚地去, 在我所要指示你的一座山上, 把他献为燔祭. ”

亚伯拉罕清早起来, 预备好了驴, 带着两个童仆和自己的儿子以撒, 也劈好了献燔祭用的柴, 就起程到神指示他的地方去.

亚伯拉罕对他的童仆说: “你们和驴留在这里, 我与孩子要到那边去敬拜, 然后回到你们这里来. ”

以撒问他父亲亚伯拉罕说: “爸爸! ”亚伯拉罕回答: “我儿! 有什么事? ”以撒说: “你看, 火与柴都有了, 可是献燔祭用的羊羔在哪里呢? ”

亚伯拉罕回答: “我儿, 神自己必亲自预备献燔祭用的羊羔. ”于是二人继续一起前行.

天使说: “不可在这孩子身上下手, 一点也不可害他; 现在我知道你是敬畏神的了, 因为你没有留下你的独生子不给我. ”

亚伯拉罕举目观望, 看见一只公绵羊, 两角扣在稠密的小树丛中; 亚伯拉罕就去取了那只公绵羊, 把它献为燔祭, 代替自己的儿子.

23:2 And Sarah died in Kiriath Arba; that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
撒拉死在迦南地的基列．亚巴, 就是希伯仑; 亚伯拉罕为撒拉哀恸哭号.

23:3 And Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. And Abraham rose up from his dead, and he spoke to the Hittites and said,
亚伯拉罕从死者面前起来, 对赫人说:

23:4 “I am a stranger and an alien among you; give to me my own burial site among you so that I may bury my dead from before me.”
“我是在你们中间寄居的外族人, 求你们在你们中间给我一块坟地作产业, 使我可以埋葬我死了的人, 使她不露在我面前. ”

23:5 And the Hittites answered Abraham and said to him,
赫人回答亚伯拉罕, 说:

23:6 “Hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince in our midst. Bury your dead in the choicest of our burial sites. None of us will withhold his burial site from you for burying your dead.”
“我主请听, 你在我们中间是一位尊贵的王子, 你可以在我们最好的坟地里埋葬你死了的人, 我们必没有人阻止你在他的坟地埋葬你死了的人. ”

23:7 And Abraham rose up and bowed to the people of the land, to the Hittites.
于是, 亚伯拉罕起来, 向当地的赫人下拜,

23:8 And he spoke with them, saying, “If you are willing that I bury my dead from before me, hear me and intercede for me with Ephron the son of Zohar,
对他们说: “你们若有意使我埋葬我死了的人, 使她不露在我的眼前, 就请听我的话, 为我请求琐辖的儿子以弗仑,

23:9 that he may sell to me the cave of Machpelah which belongs to him, which is at the end of his field. At full value let him sell it to me in your midst as a burial site.”
叫他把他所拥有的, 田头上那麦比拉洞卖给我. 他可以按着十足的价银卖给我, 使我在你们中间有产业作坟地. ”

23:10 Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites with respect to all who were entering the gate of his city, and said,
那时, 以弗仑正坐在赫人中间. 于是, 赫人以弗仑就回答亚伯拉罕, 所有来到城门口的赫人都听见他说:

23:11 “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field and the cave which is in it, I also give it to you in the sight of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
“我主, 不要这样, 请听我说, 这块田我送给你, 连其中的洞我也送给你. 我在我的族人眼前送给你, 让你可以埋葬你死了的人. ”

23:12 And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.
亚伯拉罕就在当地的人面前下拜,

23:13 And he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If only you will hear me—I give the price of the field. Take it from me that I may bury my dead there.”
然后在当地的人面前对以弗仑说: “请听我说, 如果你愿意, 我必定把地的价银给你, 请你收下吧, 让我可以在那里埋葬我死了的人. ”

23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
以弗仑回答亚伯拉罕, 对他说:

23:15 “My lord, hear me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver—what is that between me and you? Bury your dead.”
“我主, 请听我说, 一块值四百块(四千五百克)银子的田地, 在你我之间, 算得什么呢? 你埋葬你死了的人吧. ”

23:16 Then Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver at the merchants’ current rate.
亚伯拉罕同意以弗仑说的价银, 就照着他在赫人面前所说的, 拿商人通用的银子, 称了四百块(四千五百克)银子给以弗仑.

23:17 So the field of Ephron which was in the Machpelah, which was near Mamre—the field and the cave which was in it, with all the trees that were in the field, which were within all its surrounding boundaries—passed
于是, 以弗仑在麦比拉, 在幔利前面的那块地, 包括那块田和其中的洞, 田中和四周所有的树木,

23:18 to Abraham as a property in the presence of the Hittites, with respect to all who were entering the gate of his city.
都在赫人眼前, 就是在所有来到城门口的赫人眼前, 归给亚伯拉罕作产业.

23:19 And thus afterward Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre; that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
这事以后, 亚伯拉罕把自己的妻子撒拉埋在迦南地, 幔利前面麦比拉田间的洞里. 幔利就是希伯仑.

23:20 And the field and the cave which was in it passed to Abraham as a burial site from the Hittites.
这样, 那块田和田中的洞, 就从赫人归给了亚伯拉罕为产业作坟地.

Genesis - Chapter 24

24:1 Now Abraham was old, advanced in age, and Yahweh had blessed Abraham in everything.

亚伯拉罕对他家中, 管理所有产业的老仆人说: “请把你的手放在我的大腿底下.

我要你指着耶和华天地的神起誓, 不可从我现在居住的迦南人中, 为我的儿子娶他们的女子为妻.

24:4 but that you will go to my land and to my family, and take a wife for my son, for Isaac.”
你却要到我的故乡,我的亲族那里去, 为我的儿子以撒娶妻. ”

24:5 And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land—must I then return your son to the land from whence you came?”
仆人问亚伯拉罕: “如果那女子不愿跟我到这地方来, 我必须把你的儿子带回你原出之地去吗? ”

24:6 Abraham said to him, “You must take care that you do not return my son there.
亚伯拉罕对他说: “你要谨慎, 切不可带我的儿子回到那里去.

24:7 Yahweh, the God of heaven who took me from the house of my father and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘to your offspring I will give this land,’ he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
耶和华天上的神, 就是领我离开我的父家和我亲族之地, 曾经对我说话, 又向我起誓的那位说: ‘我必把这地赐给你的后裔. ’他必在你前面差派他的使者, 你就可以从那里为我的儿子娶妻.

24:8 And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you shall be released from this oath of mine—only you must not return my son there.”

于是, 仆人把手放在他主人亚伯拉罕的大腿下, 为这事向亚伯拉罕起誓.

那仆人从他主人的骆驼里取了十匹骆驼, 带着主人各样的美物, 起程往两河之间的亚兰去, 到了拿鹤的城.

24:11 And he made the camels kneel outside the city at the well of water, at the time of evening, toward the time the women went out to draw water.
黄昏时分, 女人出来打水的时候, 那仆人就叫骆驼跪在城外的水井旁边,

24:12 And he said, “O Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show loyal love to my master Abraham.
然后祷告说: “耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神啊, 求你今日使我遇见好机会, 施慈爱给我的主人亚伯拉罕.

24:13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are going out to draw water.
我现在站在水泉旁边, 城内居民的女儿正出来打水.

24:14 And let it be that the girl to whom I shall say, ‘Please, offer your jar that I may drink’ and who says, ‘Drink—and I will also water your camels,’ she is the one you have chosen for your servant, for Isaac. By her I will know that you have shown loyal love to my master.”
我对哪一个少女说: ‘请你放下水瓶来, 让我喝点水. ’如果她回答: ‘请喝, 我也给你的骆驼喝. ’愿那少女就作你选定给你仆人以撒的妻子. 这样, 我就知道你施慈爱给我的主人了. ”

24:15 And it happened that before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah—who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, the brother of Abraham—came out, and her jar was on her shoulder.
话还没有说完, 不料, 利百加肩头上扛着水瓶出来了. 利百加是彼土利所生的. 彼土利是亚伯拉罕兄弟拿鹤的妻子密迦的儿子.

24:16 Now the girl was very pleasing in appearance. She was a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up.
那少女容貌非常美丽, 还是个处女, 没有男人亲近过她. 她下到水泉那里, 打满了水瓶, 又上来.

24:17 And the servant ran to meet her. And he said, “Please, let me drink a little of the water from your jar.”
仆人就跑去迎着她, 说: “请你把瓶里的水给我喝一点. ”

24:18 And she said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly lowered her jar in her hand and gave him a drink.
那少女回答: “我主请喝. ”就急忙把水瓶拿下来, 托在手上给他喝.

24:19 When she finished giving him a drink she said, “I will also draw water for your camels until they finish drinking.”
他喝足了, 少女就说: “我也要为你的骆驼打水, 直到它们都喝足了. ”

24:20 And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water. And she drew water for all his camels.
于是急忙把水瓶里的水倒在槽里, 又跑到井旁去打水, 给他所有的骆驼打上水来.

24:21 And the man was gazing at her silently to know if Yahweh had made his journey successful or not.
那人一句话也不说, 只注视着她, 要知道耶和华使他的道路亨通不亨通.

24:22 And it happened that as the camels finished drinking the man took a gold ring of a half shekel in weight and two bracelets for her arms, ten shekels in weight,
骆驼喝足了, 那人就拿出一个重近六克的金鼻环, 戴在她的鼻子上, 又拿出两个重一百一十四克的金手镯, 套在她的手上,

24:23 and said, “Please tell me, whose daughter are you? Is there a place at the house of your father for us to spend the night?”
然后问她: “请你告诉我, 你是谁的女儿? 你父亲的家里有地方给我们住宿没有? ”

24:24 And she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
她回答: “我是密迦给拿鹤所生的儿子彼土利的女儿. ”

24:25 Then she said to him, “We have both straw and fodder in abundance, as well as a place to spend the night.”
她又说: “我们有很多粮草和饲料, 也有住宿的地方. ”

24:26 And the man knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
那人就跪下敬拜耶和华,

24:27 And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld his loyal love and his faithfulness from my master. I was on the way and Yahweh led me to the house of my master’s brother.”
说: “耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神是应当称颂的, 因为他不断以慈爱和信实待我的主人; 耶和华也一路引导我, 到了我主人的兄弟家里. ”

24:28 Then the girl ran and reported these things to the household of her mother.
那少女就跑回去, 把这些事都告诉了她母亲家里的人.

24:29 Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. And Laban ran out to the man toward the spring.
利百加有一个哥哥, 名叫拉班.

24:30 And when he saw the ring and the bracelets on the arms of his sister and heard the words of Rebekah his sister, who said, “Thus the man spoke to me,” he went to the man. And behold, he was standing with the camels at the spring.
他看见了妹妹的鼻环和手上的手镯, 又听见了妹妹利百加说: “那人对我这样这样说”, 就跑去见外面水泉旁边的那人. 他来到那人跟前的时候, 见他仍然站在骆驼旁边的水泉那里.

24:31 And he said, “Come, O blessed one of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? Now I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
拉班说: “你这蒙耶和华赐福的, 请进来吧, 为什么站在外面呢? 我已经收拾好了房间, 也为骆驼预备了地方. ”

24:32 And the man came to the house and unloaded the camels. And he gave straw and fodder to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
那人就进了拉班的家. 拉班卸了骆驼, 拿粮草和饲料给骆驼吃, 又拿水给那人和与他同来的人洗脚.

24:33 And food was placed before him to eat. And he said, “I will not eat until I have told my errand.” And he said, “Speak.”
然后在他面前摆上食物, 但那人说: “除非等我说完了我的事, 我不会吃. ”拉班说: “请说. ”

24:34 And he said, “I am the servant of Abraham.
那人说: “我是亚伯拉罕的仆人.

24:35 Now Yahweh has blessed my master exceedingly, and he has become great. He has given to him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male slaves and female slaves, and camels and donkeys.
耶和华厚厚地赐福我主人, 他就昌大起来; 耶和华又赐给他羊群,牛群,金银,仆婢,骆驼和驴.

24:36 And Sarah, the wife of my master, has borne a son to my master after her old age. And he has given to him all that he has.
我主人的妻子撒拉年老的时候, 给我主人生了一个儿子. 我主人也把他一切所有的都给了这个儿子.

24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, ‘Do not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I am living.
我主人要我起誓, 说: ‘你不可从我现在居住的迦南地中, 为我的儿子娶迦南的女子为妻.

24:38 But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my family, and you shall take a wife for my son.’
你要到我的父家, 和我的族人那里去, 为我的儿子娶一个妻子. ’

24:39 And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’
我问我主人: ‘如果那女子不愿跟我回来呢? ’

24:40 And he said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I have walked, shall send his angel with you and will make your journey successful. And you shall take a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father.
他回答: ‘我行事为人都在他面前的耶和华, 必差派他的使者与你同去, 使你的道路亨通, 你就可以从我的族人和我的父家, 给我的儿子娶一个妻子.

24:41 Then you shall be released from my oath, when you come to my family. And if they will not give a woman to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
只要你到了我的族人那里去, 我叫你起的誓就与你无关; 他们若不把女子交给你, 我叫你起的誓也与你无关. ’

24:42 Then today I came to the spring, and I said, ‘O Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, if you would please make my journey successful, upon which I am going.
我今天到了水泉那里, 就说: ‘耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神啊, 你若叫我所走的道路亨通,

24:43 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. Let it be that the young woman who comes out to draw water and to whom I say, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar,”
那么, 我现在站在水泉旁边, 但愿有一个少女出来打水, 我要对她说: “请你把瓶里的水给我喝一点. ”

24:44 let her say to me, “Drink; I will also draw water for your camels,” she is the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for the son of my master.’
她若对我说: “你请喝, 我还要打水给你的骆驼喝. ”愿那女子就作耶和华给我主人的儿子所选定的妻子. ’

24:45 I had not yet finished speaking to myself when, behold, Rebekah was coming out with her jar on her shoulder. And she went down to the spring and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
我心里的话还没有说完, 利百加就肩头扛着水瓶出来了, 她下到水泉那里去打水; 我就对她说: ‘请给我水喝. ’

24:46 And she hastened and let down her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will give a drink to your camels also.’ Then I drank and she gave a drink to the camels also.
她急忙从肩上拿下水瓶来, 说: ‘请喝, 我还要给你的骆驼喝. ’我喝了, 她也打水给我的骆驼喝.

24:47 Then I asked her and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ And I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her arms.
于是我问她, 说: ‘你是谁的女儿? ’她回答: ‘我是密迦给拿鹤所生的儿子彼土利的女儿. ’我就把鼻环戴在她的鼻子上, 把手镯套在她的两手上.

24:48 And I knelt down and worshiped Yahweh, and I praised Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right way, to take the daughter of the brother of my master for his son.
然后我跪下敬拜耶和华, 称颂耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神, 因为他引导我走恰当的路, 使我得到我主人的兄弟的孙女, 作我主人的儿子的妻子.

24:49 So now, if you are going to deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, so that I may turn to the right or to the left.”
现在你们若愿意以慈爱和信实待我的主人, 就请告诉我. 如果不愿意, 也请你们告诉我; 使我可以知道怎样行. ”

24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, and they said, “The matter has gone out from Yahweh; we are not able to speak bad or good to you.
拉班和彼土利回答, 说: “这事既然出于耶和华, 我们就不能对你说好说歹.

24:51 Here is Rebekah before you. Take her and go; let her be a wife for the son of your master as Yahweh has spoken.”
看哪, 利百加就在你面前, 你可以把她带去, 照着耶和华所说的, 作你主人儿子的妻子. ”

24:52 And it happened that when the servant of Abraham heard their words he bowed down to the ground to Yahweh.
亚伯拉罕的仆人听到了他们这些话, 就俯伏在地敬拜耶和华.

24:53 And the servant brought out silver jewelry and gold jewelry, and garments, and he gave them to Rebekah. And he gave precious gifts to her brother and to her mother.
那仆人拿出金器,银器和衣服送给利百加, 又把贵重的礼物送给她的哥哥和她的母亲.

24:54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night. And they got up in the morning, and he said, “Let me go to my master.”
然后, 仆人和与他同来的人才吃喝, 并且住了一夜. 他们早晨起来, 仆人就说: “请打发我回到我主人那里去吧! ”

24:55 And her brother and her mother said, “Let the girl remain with us ten days or so; after that she may go.”
利百加的哥哥和母亲说: “让这女孩子和我们同住多几天, 或是十天, 然后她可以离去. ”

24:56 And he said to them, “Do not delay me. Now, Yahweh has made my journey successful. Let me go. I must go to my master.”
仆人回答他们: “你们不要挽留我, 耶和华既然使我的道路亨通, 就请打发我回到我主人那里去. ”

24:57 And they said, “Let us call the girl and ask her opinion.”
他们说: “我们可以把那女孩子叫来, 问问她的意思. ”

24:58 And they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”
他们把利百加叫了来, 问她: “你愿意与这人同去吗? ”她回答: “我愿意去. ”

24:59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and the servant of Abraham and his men.
于是, 他们把自己的妹妹利百加, 她的乳母和亚伯拉罕的仆人, 以及同来的人, 都打发走了.

24:60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “You are our sister; may you become countless thousands; and may your offspring take possession of the gate of his enemies.”
他们给利百加祝福, 对她说: “我们的妹妹啊, 愿你作千万人之母; 愿你的后裔, 占领仇敌的城门. ”

24:61 And Rebekah and her maidservants arose, and they mounted the camels and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah and left.
利百加和她的众使女就起来, 骑上骆驼, 跟着那人走; 那仆人就带着利百加走了.

24:62 Now Isaac was coming from the direction of Beer-Lahai-Roi. And he was living in the land of the Negev.
那时, 以撒刚从庇耳．拉海．莱回来, 他原本是住在南地的.

24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field early in the evening, and he lifted up his eyes and saw—behold, camels were coming.
黄昏的时候, 以撒出来田间默想. 他举目观看, 忽然看见来了些骆驼.

24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac. And she got down from the camel.
利百加举目观看, 看见了以撒, 就下了骆驼,

24:65 And she said to the servant, “Who is this man walking around in the field to meet us?” And the servant said, “That is my master.” And she took her veil and covered herself.
问那仆人: “在田间走来迎接我们的这人是谁? ”仆人回答: “他是我的主人. ”利百加就拿面纱蒙在面上.

24:66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
仆人把所作的一切事, 都告诉以撒.

24:67 And Isaac brought her to the tent of Sarah his mother. And he took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after the death of his mother.
以撒领利百加进了他母亲撒拉的帐棚, 并且娶了她. 利百加就作了以撒的妻子. 以撒爱利百加. 以撒自从他母亲去世后, 这才得了安慰.

Genesis - Chapter 26

26:1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
从前在亚伯拉罕的时候, 曾经有过一次饥荒, 现在那地又有饥荒, 以撒就到基拉耳去, 到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里.

26:2 And Yahweh appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land which I will show to you.
耶和华向以撒显现, 说: “你不要下到埃及去, 要住在我所指示你的地方.

26:3 Dwell as an alien in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham you father.
你要寄居在这地, 我必与你同在, 必赐福给你, 因为我要把这全地都赐给你和你的后裔, 履行我向你父亲亚伯拉罕所起的誓.

26:4 And I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and I will give to your descendants all these lands. And all nations of the earth will be blessed through your offspring,
我必使你的后裔增多, 好像天上的星那样多; 我必把这全地都赐给你的后裔; 地上的万国都必因你的后裔得福.

26:5 because Abraham listened to my voice and kept my charge: my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
这是因为亚伯拉罕听从了我的话, 遵守了我的吩咐,我的命令,我的条例和我的律法. ”

26:6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
于是, 以撒就住在基拉耳.

26:7 When the men of the place asked concerning his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “my wife,” thinking “the men of the place will kill me on account of Rebekah, for she was beautiful.”
那地方的人问起他的妻子, 他就回答: “她是我的妹妹. ”因为他不敢说: “她是我的妻子. ”他心里想: “恐怕这地方的人, 因利百加的缘故把我杀了, 因为她容貌美丽. ”

26:8 And it happened that, when he had been there a long time, Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked through the window, and saw—behold—Isaac was fondling Rebekah his wife.
以撒在那里住了很久. 有一天, 非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里向外观望, 看见以撒正在爱抚他的妻子利百加.

26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Surely she is your wife. Now why did you say ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I thought I would die on account of her.”
亚比米勒于是把以撒召了来, 对他说: “你看, 她实在是你的妻子, 你怎么说是你的妹妹呢? ”以撒回答他: “因为我心里想: ‘恐怕我因她的缘故丧命. ’”

26:10 And Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife! Then you would have brought guilt upon us!”
亚比米勒说: “你向我们作的是什么事呢? 人民中间险些有人与你的妻子同睡, 那你就把我们陷在罪恶里了. ”

26:11 Then Abimelech instructed all the people, saying, “The one who touches this man or his wife shall certainly die.”
于是, 亚比米勒吩咐全国人民, 说: “凡是触犯这人或是他的妻子的, 必被处死. ”

26:12 And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in that same year a hundredfold, and Yahweh blessed him.
以撒在那里耕种, 那一年丰收百倍, 耶和华实在赐福给他.

26:13 And the man became wealthier and wealthier until he was exceedingly wealthy.
他就日渐昌大, 越来越富有, 成了个大富翁.

26:14 And he possessed sheep and cattle and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him.
他拥有羊群,牛群和很多仆人, 非利士人就嫉妒他.

26:15 And the Philistines stopped up all the wells that the servants of his father had dug in the days of Abraham his father. They filled them with earth.
他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候, 所有由他父亲仆人挖的井, 非利士人都塞住了, 填满了土.

26:16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you have become much too powerful for us.”
亚比米勒对以撒说: “你离开我们去吧, 因为你比我们强大得多了. ”

26:17 So Isaac departed from there and camped in the valley of Gerar, and settled there.
以撒于是离开那里, 在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚, 住在那里.

26:18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after the death of Abraham. And he gave to them the same names which his father had given them.
他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的时候, 仆人所挖的水井, 在亚伯拉罕死后都被非利士人塞住了. 以撒重新挖掘这些井, 仍然照着他父亲所起的名字叫它们.

26:19 And when the servants of Isaac dug in the valley, they found a well of fresh water there.
以撒的仆人在山谷里挖井, 在那里挖得一口活水井.

26:20 Then the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours.” And he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争闹起来, 说: “这水是我们的. ”以撒就给那井起名叫埃色, 因为他们与他相争.

26:21 And they dug another well, and they quarreled over it also. And he called its name Sitnah.
以撒的仆人又挖了另一口井, 他们又为这井争闹起来, 因此以撒给这井起名叫西提拿.

26:22 Then he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. And he called its name Rehoboth, and said, “Now Yahweh has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
以撒离开那里, 又挖了另一口井; 他们不再为这井争闹了, 他就给那井起名利河伯, 因为他说: “现在耶和华给我们宽阔的地方, 我们必在这里繁盛起来了. ”

26:23 And from there he went up to Beersheba.
以撒从那里上到别是巴去.

26:24 And Yahweh appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and I will bless you and make your descendants numerous for the sake of my servant Abraham.”
那天晚上, 耶和华向他显现, 说: “我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的神; 你不要怕, 因为我与你同在; 我必为了我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故, 赐福给你, 使你的后裔增多. ”

26:25 And he built an altar there and called on the name of Yahweh. And he pitched his tent there, and the servants of Isaac dug a well there.
以撒就在那里筑了一座祭坛, 呼求耶和华的名; 又在那里支搭帐棚; 以撒的仆人也在那里挖了一口井.

26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol his army commander.
亚比米勒和他的朋友亚户撒, 以及他的军长非各, 从基拉耳来到以撒那里.

26:27 And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me? You hate me and sent me away from you.”
以撒问他们: “你们既然恨我, 把我从你们中间赶出来, 为什么又到我这里来呢? ”

26:28 And they said, “We see clearly that Yahweh has been with you, so we thought let there be an oath between us—between us and you—and let us make a covenant with you
他们回答: “我们实在看见耶和华与你同在, 因此我们想: ‘不如我们双方起誓. ’让我们与你立约吧;

26:29 that you may not do us harm just as we have not touched you, but have only done good to you and sent you away in peace. You are now blessed by Yahweh.”
你不要伤害我们, 正如我们从来没有触犯你, 只有善待你, 让你平平安安地离开. 现在你是蒙耶和华赐福的了. ”

26:30 So he made a meal for them, and they ate and drank.
以撒就为他们摆设筵席, 他们就一起吃喝.

26:31 And they arose early in the morning and each one swore to the other, and Isaac sent them away. And they left him in peace.
第二天, 他们清早起来, 彼此起誓; 以撒就送他们走, 他们平平安安地离开他走了.

26:32 And it happened that on that same day the servants of Isaac came and told him about the well that they had dug. And they said, “We have found water!”
那一天, 以撒的仆人来把他们挖井的事告诉他, 说: “我们找到水了. ”

26:33 And he called it Sheba. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
以撒就给那井起名叫示巴, 因此那城名叫别示巴, 直到今日.

26:34 And when Esau was forty years old he took as wife Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite.
以扫四十岁的时候, 娶了赫人比利的女儿犹滴, 和赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹为妻.

26:35 And they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.
她们二人常使以撒和利百加伤心难过.

Genesis - Chapter 27

27:1 And it happened that when Isaac was old and his eyesight was weak, he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
以撒年老, 眼睛昏花, 看不见东西了; 他把他的大儿子以扫叫了来, 对他说: “我儿啊! ”以扫回答他: “我在这里. ”

27:2 And he said, “Look, I am old; I do not know the day of my death.
以撒说: “现在我已经老了, 不知道什么时候会死.

27:3 So now, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt food for me.
你现在拿你打猎的用具, 就是你的箭囊和弓, 出到田野去为我打猎.

27:4 Then make for me tasty food like I love, and bring it to me. And I will eat it so that I can bless you before I die.
照我所喜欢的, 给我预备美味的食物, 拿来给我吃; 好让我在未死以前给你祝福. ”

27:5 Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to Esau his son, and when Esau went to the field to hunt wild game to bring back,
以撒对他儿子以扫说话的时候, 利百加也听见. 以扫到田野去打猎, 要带些野味回来.

27:6 Rebekah said to Jacob her son, “Look, I heard your father speaking to Esau your brother saying,
利百加就对她儿子雅各说: “我听见你父亲对你的哥哥以扫这样说:

27:7 ‘Bring wild game to me and prepare tasty food so I can eat it and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’
‘你去为我打些猎物回来, 给我预备美味的食物, 让我吃了, 在我未死以前可以在耶和华面前给你祝福. ’

27:8 So now, my son, listen to my voice, to what I command you.
我儿啊, 现在你要听我的话, 照着我吩咐你的去作.

27:9 Go to the flock and take two good young goats from it for me, and I will prepare them as tasty food for your father, just as he likes.
你快到羊群那里去, 给我牵两只肥嫩的小山羊来, 我要照你父亲所喜欢的, 给他预备美味的食物.

27:10 Then you must take it to your father and he will eat it so that he may bless you before his death.”
然后你要拿去给你父亲吃, 好让他在未死以前给你祝福. ”

27:11 Then Jacob said to his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, but I am a smooth man.
雅各对他的母亲利百加说: “但是哥哥以扫浑身是毛, 而我却是个皮肤光滑的人.

27:12 Perhaps my father will feel me and I will be in his eyes as a mocker, and he will bring upon me a curse and not a blessing.”
万一我父亲摸着我, 必以为我是骗子, 那时我就必自招咒诅, 而不是祝福了. ”

27:13 Then his mother said to him, “Your curse be upon me, my son, only listen to my voice—go and get them for me.”
他母亲对他说: “我儿啊, 愿你所招的咒诅归到我身上吧, 你只管听我的话, 去把羊牵来给我. ”

27:14 So he went and took them, and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared tasty food as his father liked.
他就去把羊羔牵来, 交给他母亲, 他母亲就照他父亲所喜欢的, 预备美味的食物.

27:15 Then Rebekah took some of her older son Esau’s best garments that were with her in the house, and she put them on Jacob her younger son.
利百加又把大儿子以扫留在家里最好的衣服拿来, 给她小儿子雅各穿上.

27:16 And she put the skins of the young goats over his hands and over the smooth part of his neck.
又用小山羊的皮, 包在雅各的手上和他颈上光滑的地方.

27:17 And she put the tasty food and the bread that she had made into the hand of Jacob, her son.
然后, 她把自己所预备美味的食物和饼, 放在她儿子雅各的手里.

27:18 And he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
雅各来到他父亲那里, 说: “我父啊! ”以撒说: “我在这里, 我儿啊, 你是谁? ”

27:19 And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please get up, sit up and eat from my wild game so that you may bless me.”
雅各对他父亲说: “我就是你的长子以扫, 你吩咐我作的, 我已经照样作了. 请坐起来, 吃我的猎物, 好给我祝福. ”

27:20 Then Isaac said to his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because Yahweh your God caused me to find it.”
以撒问他的儿子: “我儿啊, 你怎么这样快就猎到了呢? ”雅各回答: “因为耶和华你的神叫我碰着好机会. ”

27:21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please, come near and let me feel you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not?”
以撒对雅各说: “我儿啊, 你上前来, 让我摸摸你, 看看你是不是我的儿子以扫. ”

27:22 And Jacob drew near to Isaac his father. And he felt him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
雅各就走近他父亲以撒身边, 以撒摸着他, 说: “声音是雅各的声音, 手却是以扫的手. ”

27:23 And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother. And he blessed him.
以撒认不出他来, 因为他的手上有毛, 好像他哥哥以扫的手一样, 于是给他祝福.

27:24 And he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he said, “I am.”
以撒问: “你真是我的儿子以扫吗? ”他回答: “我是. ”

27:25 Then he said, “Bring it near to me that I may eat from the game of my son, so that I may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank.
以撒说: “把食物递给我, 好让我吃我儿子的猎物, 我就给你祝福. ”雅各把食物递给他, 他就吃了; 又拿酒给他, 他也喝了.

27:26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.”
他父亲以撒对他说: “我儿啊, 你上前来, 和我亲嘴. ”

27:27 And he drew near and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his garments, and he blessed him and said, “Look, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed!
他就上前和父亲亲嘴; 他父亲一闻到他衣服的香气, 就给他祝福, 说: “看哪, 我儿子的香气, 好像蒙耶和华赐福的田地所发出的香气一样.

27:28 May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and new wine.
愿神赐给你天上的甘露, 地上的沃土, 以及大量五谷和美酒.

27:29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you; Be lord of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. Cursed be those cursing you, and blessed be those blessing you.”
愿万民服事你, 愿万族向你下拜, 愿你作你兄弟的主人, 愿你母亲的子孙向你下拜. 咒诅你的, 愿他受咒诅; 给你祝福的, 愿他蒙福. ”

27:30 And as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, immediately after Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came back from his hunting.
以撒给雅各祝福完了, 雅各刚刚从他父亲以撒那里出来的时候, 他哥哥以扫就打猎回来了.

27:31 He too prepared tasty food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat from the wild game of his son, that you may bless me.”
他也预备了美味的食物, 拿来给他父亲, 对他说: “请我父起来, 吃你儿子的猎物, 好给我祝福. ”

27:32 And Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” And he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
他父亲以撒问他: “你是谁? ”他回答: “我就是你的长子以扫. ”

27:33 Then Isaac trembled violently. Then he said, “Who then was he that hunted wild game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I blessed him? Moreover, he will be blessed!”
以撒就大大地战兢起来, 说: “那么, 刚才去打猎又拿猎物给我的是谁呢? 在你未来以先, 我已经吃了, 又给他祝福了; 他将来必定蒙福. ”

27:34 When Esau heard the words of his father he cried out with a great and exceedingly bitter cry of distress. And he said to his father, “Bless me as well, my father!”
以扫听了他父亲的话, 就非常痛心, 放声大哭, 对他父亲说: “我父啊, 求你也给我祝福. ”

27:35 And he said, “Your brother came in deceit and took your blessing.”
以撒说: “你弟弟已经前来, 用诡计把你的祝福夺去了. ”

27:36 Then he said, “Isn’t that why he is named Jacob? He has deceived me these two times. He took my birthright and, look, now he has taken my blessing!” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
以扫说: “他名叫雅各不是很对吗? 因为他欺骗了我两次. 从前他夺去我的长子名分, 现在他又夺去我的祝福. ”以扫又说: “你再没有祝福留给我吗? ”

27:37 Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him lord over you and I have given him all his brothers as servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. Now what can I do for you, my son?”
以撒回答以扫, 说: “我已经立他作你的主人, 又把他所有的兄弟给了他作仆人, 并且把五谷和美酒供给他了. 我儿啊, 我还可以为你作什么呢? ”

27:38 And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me also, my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
以扫问他的父亲: “我父啊, 你只有一个祝福吗? 我父啊, 求你也给我祝福. ”以扫就放声大哭.

27:39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Your home shall be from the fatness of the land, and from the dew of heaven above.
他父亲以撒回答他, 说: “你住的地方必远离地上的沃土, 远离天上的甘露.

27:40 But by your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother. But it shall be that when free yourself you shall tear off his yoke from your neck.
你必依靠刀剑生活, 你必服事你的弟弟; 到你自由的时候, 你必从你的颈项上挣脱他的轭. ”

27:41 Then Esau held a grudge against Jacob on account of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are coming, then I will kill Jacob my brother.”
以扫因为他父亲给雅各所祝的福, 就怀恨雅各; 以扫心里想: “为我父亲守丧的时候近了, 到时我必杀我的弟弟雅各. ”

27:42 But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called for her younger son Jacob. And she said to him, “Look, Esau your brother is consoling himself concerning you, intending to kill you.
有人把利百加大儿子以扫所说的话告诉了利百加, 她就派人把她小儿子雅各叫了来, 对他说: “你哥哥以扫想要杀你, 报仇雪恨.

27:43 Now then, my son, listen to my voice; arise and flee to Haran to Laban my brother.
我儿啊, 现在你要听我的话; 起来, 逃到哈兰我哥哥拉班那里去吧.

27:44 Stay with him a few days until the wrath of your brother has turned—
与他住些时日, 等到你哥哥的怒气消了.

27:45 until the anger of your brother turns from you and he has forgotten what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I lose the two of you in one day?”
你哥哥对你消了怒气, 忘记了你对他所作的事, 我就派人去把你从那里接回来. 我何必在一日之内丧失你们两个呢? ”

27:46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I loathe my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob takes a wife from Hittite women like these, from the native women, what am I living for?”
利百加对以撒说: “我因为这些赫人女子, 连性命都厌恶了. 如果雅各也从这地的女子中, 娶了像这样的赫人女子为妻, 那我活着还有什么意思呢? ”

Genesis - Chapter 28

28:1 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him. And he instructed him and said to him, “You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
以撒把雅各叫了来, 给他祝福, 并且吩咐他, 说: “你不可娶迦南的女子为妻.

28:2 Arise, go to Paddan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and take for yourself a wife from there, from the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.
起来, 到巴旦．亚兰你外祖父彼土利的家里去, 在那里娶你舅父拉班的一个女儿为妻.

28:3 Now, may El-Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, so that you become an assembly of peoples.
愿全能的神赐福给你, 使你繁殖增多, 成为大族.

28:4 And may he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your descendants with you, that you may take possession of the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraham.”
愿神把应许给亚伯拉罕的福, 赐给你和你的后裔, 使你可以得着你寄居的地为业, 就是神赐给亚伯拉罕的. ”

28:5 Then Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
于是, 以撒打发雅各去了, 雅各就往巴旦．亚兰去, 到了亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里. 拉班就是雅各和以扫的母亲利百加的哥哥.

28:6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-Aram, to take for himself a wife from there, and he blessed him and instructed him, saying, “You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,”
以扫见以撒给雅各祝福, 又打发他到巴旦．亚兰去, 在那里娶妻; 又见以撒给雅各祝福的时候, 吩咐他说: “你不可娶迦南的女子为妻”;

28:7 and that Jacob listened to his father and to his mother and went to Paddan-Aram.
又见雅各听从了他父母的话, 到巴旦．亚兰去了;

28:8 Then Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of Isaac his father,
以扫就看出, 他父亲以撒不喜欢迦南的女子.

28:9 then Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, son of Abraham, sister of Nebaioth, as a wife, in addition to the wives he had.
于是, 以扫到以实玛利那里去, 在他两个妻子以外, 娶了玛哈拉为妻. 玛哈拉就是亚伯拉罕的儿子以实玛利的女儿, 尼拜约的妹妹.

28:10 Then Jacob went out from Beersheba and went to Haran.
雅各离开别是巴, 到哈兰去.

28:11 And he arrived at a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head and slept at that place.
来到一个地方, 就在那里过夜, 因为太阳已经落了. 他拾起那地方的一块石头, 把它放在头底下作枕头, 就在那里躺下睡了.

28:12 And he dreamed, and behold, a stairway was set on the earth, and its top touched the heavens. And behold, angels of God were going up and going down on it.
他作了一个梦, 梦见一个梯子立在地上, 梯顶直通到天, 神的众使者在梯子上下往来.

28:13 And behold, Yahweh was standing beside him, and he said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The ground on which you were sleeping I will give to you and to your descendants.
耶和华站在梯子上, 说: “我是耶和华你祖父亚伯拉罕的神, 也是以撒的神, 我要把你现在躺着的这块地赐给你和你的后裔.

28:14 Your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north and to the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and through your descendants.
你的后裔必像地面的灰尘那么多; 你必向东,南,西,北扩展; 地上的万族必因你和你的后裔得福.

28:15 Now behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. And I will bring you to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised to you.”
我与你同在, 你无论到哪里去, 我必看顾你; 我必领你回到这地方来, 因为我必不离弃你, 直到我实现了我对你所应许的. ”

28:16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely Yahweh is indeed in this place and I did not know!”
雅各一觉醒来, 说: “耶和华确实在这地方, 我竟不知道! ”

28:17 Then he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is nothing else than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”
他就惧怕起来, 说: “这地方多么可畏啊, 这不是别的地方, 而是神的殿, 是天的门. ”

28:18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up as a stone pillar, and poured oil on top of it.
雅各清早起来, 把他曾经放在头底下作枕头的那块石头, 立作石柱, 在柱上浇了油.

28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; however, the name of the city was formerly Luz.
他就给那地方起名叫伯特利, 但那城起初名叫路斯.

28:20 And Jacob made a vow saying, “If God will be with me and protect me on this way that I am going, and gives me food to eat and clothing to wear,
于是雅各许了一个愿说: “如果神与我同在, 在我所走的路上看顾我, 赐我食物吃, 给我衣服穿,

28:21 and if I return in peace to the house of my father, then Yahweh will become my God.
使我可以平平安安地回到我的父家, 我就必定以耶和华为我的神,

28:22 And this stone that I have set up as a pillar shall be the house of God, and of all that you give to me I will certainly give a tenth to you.”
我立作石柱的那块石头, 必作神的殿; 你赐给我的一切, 我必把十分之一献给你. ”

Genesis - Chapter 29

29:1 And Jacob continued his journey and went to the land of the Easterners.
雅各继续前行, 到了东方人的地方.

29:2 And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the field, and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying beside it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. And the stone on the mouth of the well was large.
他看见田间有一口井; 有三群羊躺卧在井旁, 因为人都是用那井里的水给羊群喝; 井口上有一块大石头.

29:3 And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well. And they watered the sheep and returned the stone upon the mouth of the well to its place.
当所有羊群都到齐了, 牧人就把井口的石头辊开, 取水给羊群喝, 然后把石头放回井口原处.

29:4 And Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.”
雅各问这些牧人: “弟兄们, 你们是哪里来的? ”他们回答: “我们是从哈兰来的. ”

29:5 And he said to them, “Do you know Laban, son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.”
他问他们: “你们认识拿鹤的孙子拉班吗? ”他们回答: “我们认识. ”

29:6 And he said to them, “Is he well?” And they said, “He is well. Now look, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.”
雅各又问他们: “他平安吗? ”他们回答: “平安. 你看, 他的女儿拉结领着羊群来了. ”

29:7 And he said, “Look, it is still broad daylight; it is not the time for the livestock to be gathered. Give water to the sheep and go, pasture them.”
雅各说: “现在太阳还高, 不是牲畜聚集的时候; 你们取水给羊群喝, 再去牧放吧. ”

29:8 And they said, “We are not able, until all the flocks are gathered. Then the stone is rolled away from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.”
他们回答: “我们不能这样作, 必须等到所有的羊群都到齐了, 有人把井口的石头辊开, 我们才可以取水给羊群喝. ”

29:9 While he was speaking with them, Rachel came with the sheep which belonged to her father, for she was pasturing them.
雅各还跟他们说话的时候, 拉结领着她父亲的羊群来了. 拉结原来是个牧羊女.

29:10 And it happened that, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob drew near and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother.
雅各看见了舅父拉班的女儿拉结, 和舅父拉班的羊群, 就上前来, 把井口的石头辊开, 取水给舅父拉班的羊群喝.

29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
雅各和拉结亲嘴, 就放声大哭.

29:12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was the relative of her father, and that he was the son of Rebekah. And she ran and told her father.
雅各告诉拉结, 自己是她父亲的外甥, 是利百加的儿子. 拉结就跑去告诉她的父亲.

29:13 And it happened that when Laban heard the message about Jacob, the son of his sister, he ran to meet him. And he embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
拉班听见了关于外甥雅各的消息, 就跑去迎接他, 拥抱他, 和他亲嘴, 带他到自己的家里. 雅各就把一切经过都告诉拉班.

29:14 And Laban said to him, “Surely you are my flesh and my bone!” And he stayed with him a month.
拉班对雅各说: “你实在是我的骨肉. ”雅各就与拉班同住了一个月.

29:15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Just because you are my brother should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wage should be.”
拉班对雅各说: “你因为是我的外甥, 就要白白地服事我吗? 告诉我, 你要什么报酬? ”

29:16 Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
拉班有两个女儿; 大的名叫利亚, 小的名叫拉结.

29:17 Now the eyes of Leah were dull, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
利亚的眼睛虽然可爱, 拉结却生得身材美丽, 样貌娟秀.

29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel and said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”
雅各爱拉结, 所以对拉班说: “我愿为你的小女儿拉结服事你七年. ”

29:19 Then Laban said, “Better that I give her to you than I give her to another man. Stay with me.”
拉班说: “我把她给你, 比给别人更好, 你就与我同住吧. ”

29:20 And Jacob worked for Rachel seven years, but they were as a few days in his eyes because he loved her.
于是, 雅各为拉结服事了拉班七年; 他就看这七年好像几天一样, 因为他爱拉结.

29:21 And Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.”
雅各对拉班说: “期限到了, 请把我的妻子给我, 好让我与她亲近. ”

29:22 So Laban gathered all the men of the place and prepared a feast.
拉班就摆设筵席, 邀请了那地方所有的人.

29:23 And it happened that in the evening he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in to her.
到了晚上, 拉班把自己的女儿利亚带来给雅各, 雅各就与她亲近.

29:24 And Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to her, to Leah his daughter as a female servant.
拉班又把自己的婢女悉帕给了女儿利亚作婢女.

29:25 And it happened that in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Now why did you deceive me?”
到了早晨, 雅各才看出原来是利亚, 就对拉班说: “你向我作的是什么事呢? 我服事你, 不是为了拉结的缘故吗? 你为什么欺骗我呢? ”

29:26 Then Laban said, “It is not the custom in our country to give the younger before the firstborn.
拉班回答: “大女儿还没有出嫁, 就先把小女儿嫁出去, 我们这地方是没有这规矩的.

29:27 Complete the week of this one, then I will also give you the other, on the condition that you will work for me another seven years.”
你与大女儿七天的庆典过了以后, 我们也把小女儿给你, 只是你要再服事我七年. ”

29:28 And Jacob did so. So he completed the week of this one, then he gave Rachel his daughter to him as a wife.
于是雅各这样作了. 他与利亚七天的庆典过了以后, 拉班就把自己的女儿拉结给雅各为妻.

29:29 And Laban gave Bilhah his female servant to Rachel his daughter as a female servant.
拉班又把自己的婢女辟拉给了女儿拉结作婢女.

29:30 Then he also went in to Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.
雅各也与拉结亲近, 并且爱拉结胜过爱利亚; 于是他再服事了拉班七年.

29:31 When Yahweh saw that Leah was unloved he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
耶和华见利亚失宠, 就使她生育, 拉结却不生育.

29:32 Then Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, “Because Yahweh has noticed my misery, that I am unloved. Now my husband will love me.”
利亚怀孕, 生了一个儿子, 就给他起名叫流本, 因为她说: “耶和华看见了我的苦情, 现在我的丈夫必爱我了. ”

雅各就向拉结生气, 说: “使你不能生育的是神, 我能代替他吗? ”

拉结生了约瑟以后, 雅各对拉班说: “请你让我走吧, 我好回到自己的地方, 自己的故乡去.

30:26 Give me my wives and my children for which I have served you, and let me go. For you yourself know my service that I have rendered to you.”
请你把我服事你所得的妻子和儿女都给我, 让我回去; 我怎样服事了你, 你是知道的. ”

30:30 For you had little before me, and it has increased abundantly. And Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. So then, when shall I provide for my own family also?”
我没来以前, 你所有的很少, 现在却大大地增加了; 耶和华随着我的脚踪赐福给你. 现在, 我什么时候才能兴家立业呢? ”

30:31 And he said, “What shall I give you?” And Jacob said, “Do not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flocks and keep them.
拉班问: “我该给你什么? ”雅各回答: “你什么也不必给我; 只要你答应我这一件事, 我就继续牧放看守你的羊群.

30:32 Let me pass through all your flocks today, removing all the speckled and spotted sheep from them, along with every dark-colored sheep among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. That shall be my wages.
今天我要走遍你的羊群, 凡有斑点的羊,黑色的绵羊和有斑点的山羊, 都挑出来, 作为我的工资.

30:33 And my righteousness will answer for me later when you come concerning my wages before you. Every one that is not speckled or spotted among the goats, or dark-colored among the sheep shall be stolen if it is with me.”
日后你来查看我的工资的时候, 我好对你证明我的公道. 凡在我手里没有斑点的山羊, 或不是黑色的绵羊, 都算是我偷来的. ”

30:34 Then Laban said, “Look! Very well. It shall be according to your word.”
拉班回答: “好吧, 就照你的话去作. ”

30:35 But that day he removed the streaked and spotted male goats and all the speckled and spotted female goats, all that had white on it, and every dark-colored ram, and put them in the charge of his sons.
当日, 拉班把有条纹和有斑点的公山羊,有斑点和有白纹的母山羊, 以及所有黑色的绵羊, 都挑出来交在自己的众子手里.

30:36 And he put a journey of three days between him and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the remainder of Laban’s flock.
又使自己和雅各之间相距有三天的路程. 雅各就牧放拉班其余的羊群.

30:37 Then Jacob took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled white strips on them, exposing the white which was on the branches.
雅各拿杨树,杏树和枫树的嫩枝子, 把树皮剥成白色的条纹, 使枝子露出白的部分来.

30:38 And he set the branches that he had peeled in front of the flocks, in the troughs and in the water containers. And they were in heat when they came to drink.
然后把剥了皮的枝子插在水沟和水槽里, 枝子正对着来喝水的羊群. 羊群来喝水的时候, 就彼此交配.

30:39 And the flocks mated by the branches, so the flocks bore streaked, speckled, and spotted.
羊群对着枝子交配, 就生下有条纹和有斑点的小羊来.

30:40 And Jacob separated the lambs and turned the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark-colored in Laban’s flocks. And he put his own herds apart, and did not put them with the flocks of Laban.
雅各把羊羔分别出来, 使拉班的羊, 对着这些有条纹的和所有黑色的羊. 他为自己另组羊群, 不把它们放在拉班的羊群中.

30:41 And whenever any of the stronger of the flocks were in heat, Jacob put the branches in full view of the flock in the troughs that they might mate among the branches.
到了肥壮的羊群要交配的时候, 雅各就在羊群的面前把枝子插在水沟里, 使它们在枝子中间彼此交配.

30:42 But with the more feeble of the flock he would not put them there. So the feebler were Laban’s and the stronger were Jacob’s.
但当瘦弱的羊群交配的时候, 雅各就不插枝子. 这样, 瘦弱的就归拉班, 肥壮的就归雅各.

30:43 And the man became exceedingly rich and had large flocks, female slaves, male slaves, camels, and donkeys.
于是, 雅各变成非常富有, 拥有很多羊群,仆婢,骆驼和驴.

Genesis - Chapter 31

31:1 Now he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has,” and “From that which was our father’s he has gained all this wealth.”
雅各听见拉班的众子谈论, 说: “雅各把我们父亲所有的都夺去了, 他这一切财物, 都是从我们父亲的财产那里得来的. ”

31:2 Then Jacob saw the face of Laban and, behold, it was not like it had been in the past.
雅各也注意到拉班的脸色, 对自己不像从前那样了.

31:3 And Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your ancestors and to your family, and I will be with you.”
那时, 耶和华对雅各说: “你要回到你列祖之地, 到你的亲族那里去, 我必与你同在. ”

31:4 So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flocks,
雅各就派人把拉结和利亚叫到田间的羊群那里去,

31:5 and he said to them, “Look, I see the face of your father, that it is not like it has been toward me in the past. But the God of my father is with me.
对她们说: “我注意到你们父亲的脸色, 对我不像从前那样了; 但是我父亲的神与我同在.

31:6 Now you yourselves know that I have served your father with all my strength,
我尽了我的力量来服事你们的父亲, 这是你们知道的;

31:7 and your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God has not allowed him to harm me.
你们的父亲却欺骗了我, 十次更改了我的工资; 但神不容许他伤害我.

31:8 If thus he said, ‘Speckled shall be your wage,’ then all the flock bore speckled. And if he said, ‘Streaked shall be your wage,’ then all the flock bore streaked.
如果他说: ‘有斑点的算是你的工资’, 羊群所生的全部都有斑点; 如果他说: ‘有条纹的算是你的工资’, 羊群所生的全部有条纹.

31:9 God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
这样, 神把你们父亲的牲畜夺来, 赐给我了.

31:10 Now it happened that at the time of the mating of the flock I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams mounting the flock were streaked, speckled, and dappled.
有一次, 羊群交配的时候, 我在梦中举目观看, 看见爬在母羊身上的公山羊, 都是有条纹,有斑点和有花斑的.

31:11 Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’
神的使者在梦中对我说: ‘雅各. ’我说: ‘我在这里. ’

31:12 And he said, ‘Lift up your eyes and see—all the rams mounting the flock are streaked, speckled, and dappled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
他说: ‘你举目观看, 所有爬在母羊身上的公山羊, 都是有条纹,有斑点和有花斑的, 因为拉班向你所作的一切, 我都看见了.

31:13 I am the God of Bethel where you anointed a stone pillar, where you made a vow to me. Now get up, go out from this land and return to the land of your birth.’ ”
我就是伯特利的神, 你曾经在那里用油膏过石柱, 又在那里向我许过愿. 现在你要起程, 离开这地, 回到你的亲族那里去吧. ’”

31:14 Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there yet a portion for us, and an inheritance in the house of our father?
拉结和利亚回答雅各, 说: “在我们父亲的家里, 我们还有可得的分和产业吗?

31:15 Are we not regarded as foreigners by him, because he has sold us and completely consumed our money?
他不是把我们看作外人吗? 因为他把我们卖了, 吞没了我们的身价.

31:16 For all the wealth that God has taken away from our father, it belongs to us and to our sons. So now, all that God has said to you, do.”
神从我们父亲夺回来的一切财物, 都是属于我们和我们的儿女的. 现在神吩咐你的一切, 你只管作吧. ”

31:17 Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on the camels.
于是雅各起来, 叫他的儿女和妻子们都骑上骆驼.

31:18 And he drove all his livestock and his possessions that he had acquired, the livestock of his possession that he had acquired in Paddan-Aram, in order to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
又赶着他所有的牲畜, 带着他所得的一切财物, 就是他在巴旦．亚兰所得的一切牲畜, 要到迦南地, 他父亲以撒那里去.

31:19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the idols that belonged to her father.
当时拉班剪羊毛去了, 拉结就偷了他父亲的神像.

31:20 And Jacob tricked Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he intended to flee.
雅各瞒着亚兰人拉班, 没有告诉拉班他将要逃走.

31:21 Then he fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the Euphrates and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.
于是, 雅各带着他所有的一切逃走了. 他起程渡过了大河, 面对着基列山走去.

31:22 And on the third day it was told to Laban that Jacob had fled.
到了第三天, 有人告诉拉班说雅各逃走了.

31:23 Then he took his kinsmen with him and pursued after him, a seven-day journey, and he caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
拉班就带着自己的众兄弟追赶他, 追了七日的路程, 才在基列山把他们追上了.

31:24 And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Take care that you not speak with Jacob, whether good or evil.”
当天晚上, 神在梦中来到亚兰人拉班那里, 对他说: “你要小心, 不可与雅各说什么. ”

31:25 And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban and his kinsmen pitched their tents in the hill country of Gilead.
拉班追上了雅各. 当时雅各已经在山上支搭了帐棚; 拉班和他的众兄弟, 也在基列山上支搭了帐棚.

31:26 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done that you tricked me and have carried off my daughters like captives of the sword?
拉班对雅各说: “你作的是什么事呢? 你瞒着我, 把我的女儿们当作战俘一样带走了.

31:27 Why did you hide your intention to flee and trick me, and did not tell me so that I would have sent you away with joy and song and tambourine and lyre?
你为什么暗中逃走, 瞒着我不让我知道, 使我可以欢欢喜喜地唱歌,击鼓,弹琴给你送行呢?

31:28 And why did you not give me opportunity to kiss my grandsons and my daughters goodbye? Now you have behaved foolishly by doing this.
你又不让我与我的外孙和女儿亲嘴. 你所作的太糊涂了!

31:29 It is in my power to do harm to you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night saying, ‘Take care from speaking with Jacob, whether good or evil.’
我本来有能力可以伤害你, 但昨天晚上, 你们父亲的神对我说: ‘你要小心, 不可与雅各说什么. ’

31:30 Now, you have surely gone because you desperately longed for the house of your father, but why did you steal my gods?”
现在你既然渴想你的父家, 一定要回去, 为什么又偷我的神像呢? ”

31:31 Then Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought, ‘Lest you take your daughters from me by force.’
雅各回答拉班, 说: “我逃走, 是因为我害怕, 我心里想: 恐怕你会把你的女儿们从我的手中抢走.

31:32 But with whomever you find your gods, he shall not live. In the presence of your kinsmen now identify what is with me that is yours and take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
至于你的神像, 你在谁身上搜出来, 那人就不该活着; 你当着我们众兄弟面前查一查, 如果在我这里有什么东西是你的, 你只管拿去. ”原来雅各不知拉结偷了神像.

31:33 Then Laban went into Jacob’s tent and Leah’s tent and the tent of the two female servants and did not find his gods. And he came out of Leah’s tent and went into Rachel’s tent.
拉班进了雅各的帐棚,利亚的帐棚和两个婢女的帐棚, 都没有搜出什么, 于是从利亚的帐棚出来, 进了拉结的帐棚.

31:34 Now Rachel had taken the idols and put them in the saddle bag of the camel and sat on them. And Jacob searched the whole tent thoroughly but did not find them.
拉结已经把神像放在骆驼的鞍下, 自己坐在上面. 拉班搜遍了帐棚, 但没有搜出什么.

31:35 And she said to her father, “Let there not be anger in the eyes of my lord, for I am not able to rise before you, for the way of women is with me. And he searched carefully and did not find the idols.
拉结对她父亲说: “求我主不要生气, 我不能在你面前起来, 因为我正有女人的经期. ”这样, 拉班彻底搜查了, 也搜不出那神像来.

31:36 Then Jacob became angry and quarreled with Laban. Jacob answered and said to Laban, “What is my offense? What is my sin that you pursued after me?
雅各就生气, 与拉班争吵起来. 雅各责问拉班说: “我到底有什么过犯, 有什么罪恶, 你竟这样急速地追赶我呢?

31:37 For you have searched all my possessions and what did you find among all the possessions of my household? Set it before my kinsmen and your kinsmen that they may decide between the two of us!
你已经搜遍了我所有的家具, 你有找到你家的东西没有? 可以把它放在这里, 在你我的众兄弟面前, 让他们可以在你我中间判断一下.

31:38 These twenty years I was with you; your ewes and your female goats did not miscarry, and the rams of your flocks I did not eat.
这二十年来, 我与你在一起; 你的母绵羊和母山羊没掉过胎, 你羊群中的公羊, 我没有吃过.

31:39 I brought no mangled carcass to you—I bore its loss. From my hand you sought it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
被野兽撕裂的, 我没有给你带回来, 都是由我自己赔偿; 无论白天偷去的, 或是黑夜偷的, 你都要我负责.

31:40 There I was, during the day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
我白天受尽炎热, 黑夜受尽寒霜, 不能入睡; 我经常是这样.

31:41 These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
我这二十年在你的家里, 为你的两个女儿服事了你十四年; 为你的羊群服事了你六年; 你又十次改了我的工资.

31:42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac had not been with me, indeed now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my misery and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.”
如果不是我父亲的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒所敬畏的神, 与我同在, 你现在必定打发我空手回去. 但神看见了我的苦情和我手中的辛劳, 所以他昨天晚上责备了你. ”

31:43 Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters and the grandsons are my grandsons, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see, it is mine. Now, what can I do for these my daughters today, or for their children whom they have borne?
拉班回答雅各, 说: “这些女儿是我的女儿; 这些孩子是我的孩子; 这些羊群也是我的羊群. 其实你眼所见的一切都是我的. 但我今日向我的女儿和她们所生的孩子, 能作什么呢?

31:44 So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between me and you.”
来吧, 现在我和你可以立约, 作为你我之间的证据. ”

31:45 And Jacob took a stone and set it up as a stone pillar.
雅各就拿了一块石头, 立作石柱.

31:46 And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a pile of stones, and they ate there by the pile of stones.
雅各又对自己的众兄弟说: “你们把石头堆聚起来. ”他们就把石头拿来, 堆成了一堆. 他们又在石堆旁边吃喝.

31:47 And Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
拉班称那石堆为伊迦尔．撒哈杜他, 雅各却称那石堆为迦累得.

31:48 Then Laban said, “This pile of stones is a witness between me and you today.” Therefore its name is called Galeed,
拉班说: “今天这堆石头是你我之间的证据. ”因此它名叫迦累得,

31:49 and Mizpah, because he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you when we are out of sight of each other.
又名叫米斯巴, 因为拉班说: “我们彼此分离以后, 愿耶和华在你我中间鉴察.

31:50 If you mistreat my daughters, and if you take wives besides my daughters, when there is no man with us, see—God is a witness between me and you.”
你若苦待我的女儿, 或在我的女儿以外, 另娶妻子, 虽然没有人在我们中间作证, 但你要注意, 神就是你我之间的见证人. ”

31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, “See, this pile of stones, and see the pillar that I have set up between me and you.
拉班又对雅各说: “你看这堆石头, 看我在你我之间所竖立的石柱.

31:52 This pile of stones is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this pile of stones to you, and that you will not pass beyond this pile of stones and this pillar to me intending harm.
这堆石头就是证据, 这石柱也是证据: 我决不越过这石堆到你那里去, 你也决不可越过这石堆和石柱, 到我这里来害我.

31:53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
但愿亚伯拉罕的神,拿鹤的神, 就是他们父亲的神, 在我们中间判断. ”雅各就指着他父亲以撒所敬畏的神起誓.

31:54 And Jacob sacrificed a sacrifice on the hill, and he called his kinsmen to eat the meal. And they ate the meal and spent the night on the hill.
雅各又在山上献祭, 叫了自己的众兄弟来吃饭. 他们吃了饭, 就在山上过夜.

31:55 And Laban arose early in the morning and kissed his grandsons and his daughters, and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned to his homeland.
拉班清早起来, 与他的外孙和女儿亲嘴, 给他们祝福. 然后拉班离开那里, 回自己的地方去了.

Genesis - Chapter 32

32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and angels of God met him.
雅各继续他的路程, 神的众使者遇见他.

32:2 And when he saw them, Jacob said, “This is the camp of God!” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
雅各看见他们, 就说: “这是神的军队. ”于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念.

32:3 Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the territory of Edom.
雅各先派使者到西珥地, 就是以东的地区, 他的哥哥以扫那里去,

32:4 And he instructed them, saying, “Thus you must say to my lord, to Esau, ‘Thus says your servant Jacob, I have dwelled as an alien with Laban, and I have remained there until now.
吩咐他们说: “你们要对我主以扫这样说: ‘你的仆人雅各这样说: 我在拉班那里寄居, 一直到现在.

32:5 And I have acquired cattle, male donkeys, flocks, and male and female slaves, and I have sent to tell my lord, to find favor in your eyes.’ ”
我拥有牛,驴,羊群,仆婢, 现在派人来报告我主, 希望得到你的欢心. ’”

32:6 And the messengers returned to Jacob and said, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
使者回到雅各那里说: “我们到了你哥哥以扫那里, 他带着四百人, 正迎着你来. ”

32:7 Then Jacob was very frightened and distressed. So he divided the people, flocks, cattle, and camels that were with him into two companies.
雅各感到非常惧怕和焦虑, 就把随行的人,羊群,牛群和骆驼, 分成两队,

32:8 And he thought, “If Esau comes to one company and destroys it, the remaining company will be able to escape.”
心里想: “即使以扫来击杀这一队, 余下的一队还可以逃脱. ”

32:9 Then Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your land and to your family, and I will deal well with you.’
雅各说: “耶和华, 我祖亚伯拉罕的神, 我父以撒的神啊, 你曾经对我说过: ‘回到你自己的故乡, 到你的亲族那里去, 我必厚待你. ’

32:10 I am not worthy of all the loyal love and all the faithfulness that you have shown your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
你向你仆人所施的一切慈爱和信实, 我实在不配得. 从前我只拿着我的手杖过这约旦河; 现在我却拥有这两队人马了.

32:11 Please rescue me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he come and attack mother and children alike.
求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手, 因为我怕他来击杀我, 连母亲和孩子也击杀了.

32:12 Now you yourself said, ‘I will surely deal well with you and make your offspring as the sand of the sea that cannot be counted for abundance.’ ”
你曾经说过: ‘我必厚待你, 使你的后裔好像海边的沙一样, 多到不可胜数. ’”

32:13 And he lodged there that night. Then he took from what he had with him a gift for Esau his brother:
那天晚上, 雅各在那里过夜. 然后从他所拥有的牲畜中, 取出一部分, 作为给他哥哥以扫的礼物,

32:14 two hundred female goats, twenty male goats, two hundred ewes, twenty rams,
就是母山羊二百只,公山羊二十只,母绵羊二百只,公绵羊二十只,

32:15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten male donkeys.
哺乳的母骆驼三十匹, 各带着驹子, 母牛四十头,公牛十头,母驴二十头,公驴十头.

32:16 And he put them under the hand of his servants, herd by herd, and said to his servants, “Cross on ahead before me, and put some distance between herds.
雅各把这些分成一队一队, 交在仆人的手里, 又对仆人说: “你们先过去, 每队之间要留一段距离. ”

32:17 And he instructed the foremost, saying, “When Esau my brother comes upon you and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you and where are you going? To whom do these animals belong ahead of you?’
他又吩咐走在最前的仆人说: “我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候, 如果问你: ‘你的主人是谁? 你要到哪里去? 在你前面的这些牲畜是谁的? ’

32:18 Then you must say, ‘To your servant, to Jacob. It is a gift sent to my lord, to Esau. Now behold, he is also coming after us.’ ”
你就要回答: ‘是你仆人雅各的, 是送给我主以扫的礼物, 他自己也在我们后面. ’”

32:19 And he also instructed the second servant and the third, and everyone else who was behind the herds, saying, “You must speak to Esau according to this word when you find him.
他又吩咐第二个,第三个和所有跟在队伍后面的人说: “你们遇见以扫的时候, 都要这样对他说.

32:20 And moreover, you shall say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is behind us.’ ” For he thought, “Let me appease him with the gift going before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will show me favor.”
你们还要说: ‘你的仆人雅各在我们后面. ’”因为他心里想: “我先送礼物去, 借此与他和解, 然后再与他见面, 或者他会原谅我. ”

32:21 So the gift passed on before him, but he himself spent that night in the camp.
于是礼物先过去了; 那天晚上雅各在营中过夜.

32:22 That night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
雅各那夜起来, 带着他的两个妻子,两个婢女和十一个孩子, 都过了雅博渡口.

32:23 And he took them and sent them across the stream. Then he sent across all his possessions.
他带着他们, 先打发他们过河, 然后又打发他所有的都过去.

32:24 And Jacob remained alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the dawn.
只留下雅各一人, 有一个人来与他摔角, 直到天快亮的时候.

32:25 And when he saw that he could not prevail against him, he struck his hip socket, so that Jacob’s hip socket was sprained as he wrestled with him.
那人见自己不能胜过他, 就在他的大腿窝上打了一下. 于是, 雅各与那人摔角的时候, 大腿窝脱了节.

32:26 Then he said, “Let me go, for dawn is breaking.” But he answered, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
那人说: “天快亮了, 让我走吧. ”雅各说: “如果你不给我祝福, 我就不让你走. ”

32:27 Then he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”
那人问他: “你叫什么名字? ”他回答: “雅各. ”

32:28 And he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”
那人说: “你的名字不要再叫雅各, 要叫以色列, 因为你与神与人较力, 都得了胜. ”

32:29 Then Jacob asked and said, “Please tell me your name.” And he said, “Why do you ask this—for my name?” And he blessed him there.
雅各问他, 说: “请把你的名告诉我. ”那人回答: “为什么问我的名呢? ”他就在那里给雅各祝福.

32:30 Then Jacob called the name of the place Peniel which means “I have seen God face to face and my life was spared.”
于是, 雅各给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒, 意思说: “我面对面看见了神, 我的性命仍得保全. ”

32:31 Then the sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
雅各经过毗努伊勒的时候, 太阳刚刚出来, 照在他身上. 他因为大腿的伤, 跛脚行走.

32:32 Therefore the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the sciatic nerve that is upon the socket of the hip unto this day, because he struck the socket of the thigh of Jacob at the sinew of the sciatic nerve.
因此, 以色列人直到现在都不吃大腿窝上的筋, 因为那人在雅各的大腿窝上的筋打了一下.

Genesis - Chapter 33

33:1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked. And behold, Esau was coming and four hundred men were with him. And he divided the children among Leah and among Rachel, and among the two of his female servants.
雅各举目观看, 见以扫带着四百人来了; 他就把孩子分开三队, 交给利亚,拉结和两个婢女.

33:2 And he put the female slaves and their children first, then Leah and her children next, then Rachel with Joseph last.
他叫两个婢女和她们的孩子走在前头, 利亚和她的孩子跟着, 拉结和约瑟走在最后.

33:3 And he himself passed on before them and bowed down to the ground seven times until he came to his brother.
他自己却走在他们前面, 七次俯伏在地, 直到走近他哥哥跟前.

33:4 But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell upon his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
以扫跑来迎接他, 拥抱他, 伏在他颈项上, 与他亲嘴; 两个人都哭了.

33:5 Then Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children and said, “Who are these with you?” And he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
以扫举目观看, 看见妇人和孩子, 就问: “这些与你同来的人是谁? ”雅各回答: “是神赐给你仆人的孩子. ”

33:6 Then the female servants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed down.
于是, 两个婢女和她们的孩子上前下拜.

33:7 Then Leah and her children drew near and bowed down, and afterward Joseph and Rachel drew near and they bowed down.
利亚和她的孩子也上前下拜, 随后, 约瑟和拉结也上前下拜.

33:8 And he said, “What do you mean by all this company that I have met?” Then he said, “To find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
以扫又问: “我遇见的这一群牲畜, 是什么意思呢? ”雅各回答: “是要讨我主喜悦的. ”

33:9 Then Esau said, “I have enough my brother; keep what you have.”
以扫说: “弟弟啊, 我已经很富有了, 你的仍归你吧. ”

33:10 And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have found favor in your eyes, you must take my gift from my hand, for then I have seen your face which is like seeing the face of God, and you have received me.
雅各说: “请不要这样, 我若得你的喜悦, 就求你从我手里收下这些礼物吧; 因为我看见了你的面, 就好像见了神的面; 你实在恩待了我.

33:11 Please take my gift which has been brought to you, for God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” And he urged him, so he took it.
请你收下我带来给你的礼物, 因为神施恩给我, 我什么都有了. ”雅各再三恳求他, 他才收下了.

33:12 Then he said, “Let us journey and go on, and I will go ahead of you.”
以扫说: “我们起程前行吧, 我和你一起走. ”

33:13 But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and the flocks and the cattle which are nursing are a concern to me. Now if they drove them hard for a day all the flocks would die.
雅各对他说: “我主知道孩子们还年幼娇嫩; 牛羊也正在乳养的时候, 需要我的照顾; 如果要催赶它们走一天的路, 恐怕所有牲畜都要死了.

33:14 Let my lord pass on before his servant and I will move along slowly at the pace of the livestock that are ahead of me, and at the pace of the children until I come to my lord in Seir.”
请我主在仆人前头先行; 我要照着在我面前群畜和孩子们的速度, 慢慢前行, 直走到西珥我主那里去. ”

33:15 And Esau said, “Let me leave some of my people with you.” But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
以扫说: “让我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里吧. ”雅各说: “为什么要这样呢? 只要我得我主的喜悦就是了. ”

33:16 So Esau turned that day on his way to Seir.
于是, 以扫在那一天回西珥去了.

33:17 But Jacob traveled on to Succoth, and he built for himself a house, and he made shelters for his livestock. Therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
雅各却起程到疏割去, 在那里为自己建造了一座房子, 又为牲畜搭了些草棚, 因此给那地方起名叫疏割.

33:18 And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-Aram. And he camped before the city.
雅各从巴旦．亚兰回来的时候, 平平安安地到了迦南地的示剑城, 在城的对面支搭了帐棚.

33:19 And he bought a piece of land where he pitched his tent for one hundred pieces of money from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem.
他支搭帐棚的那块地, 是他用一百块银子向示剑的父亲哈抹的子孙买来的.

33:20 And there he erected an altar and called it “El Elohe Israel.”
在那里雅各建了一座坛, 给它起名叫伊利．伊罗伊．以色列.

34:1 Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
利亚给雅各所生的女儿底拿, 出去要看看当地的女子.

34:2 And Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. And he took her and lay with her and raped her.

34:5 And Jacob heard that Dinah his daughter had been defiled, but his sons were with his flocks in the field. And Jacob kept silent until they came.
雅各听见示剑奸污了他的女儿底拿; 但那时他的儿子正在田间看守他的牲畜, 所以他没有作声, 只等他们回来.

34:6 And Hamor, father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him.
示剑的父亲哈抹出来见雅各, 要与他商议.

34:7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were distressed and very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by having sexual relations with the daughter of Jacob—something that should not be done.
雅各的儿子听见了这事, 就从田间回来; 各人都感到非常悲痛和忿怒, 因为示剑在以色列中作了丑事, 就是把雅各的女儿奸污了, 这是不应该作的.

34:8 And Hamor spoke with them saying, “Shechem my son is in love with your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife.
哈抹与他们商议说: “我儿子示剑的心依恋你们家的女儿, 请你们把她给我的儿子为妻吧.

这样, 你们可以与我们同住; 这地就摆在你们面前, 只管在其中居住, 来往作买卖, 购置产业吧. ”

34:11 Then Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will do.
示剑对底拿的父亲和她的兄弟说: “但愿我得你们的喜悦, 无论你们要什么, 我必给你们.

34:12 Make the bride price and gift as high as you like; I will give what you say to me. But give me the girl as a wife.”
任由你们向我要多重的聘金和多大的礼物, 我必照你们所说的给你们, 只要你们把这少女给我为妻就是了. ”

34:13 Then the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor speaking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
雅各的众子, 因为示剑奸污了他们的妹妹底拿, 就用欺诈的话回答示剑和他父亲哈抹,

34:14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a disgrace for us.
对他们说: “我们不能把妹妹给一个没有受割礼的人为妻, 因为那是我们的耻辱.

34:15 Only on this condition will we give consent to you; if you will become like us—every male among you to be circumcised.

但如果你们不肯听从我们受割礼, 我就要把我们家的女儿带走了. ”

34:18 And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Hamor.
哈抹和他儿子示剑觉得他们的提议很好.

34:19 And the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he wanted the daughter of Jacob. Now he was the most honored of his father’s house.
那少年就立刻照着去作, 因为他喜爱雅各的女儿; 他在他父亲的全家中又是最受尊敬的.

34:20 Then Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and they spoke to the men of their city, saying,
哈抹和他儿子示剑来到自己的城的门口, 对城里的人说:

34:21 “These men are at peace with us. Let them dwell in the land and let them trade in it. Now, behold, the land is broad enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give our daughters to them.
“这些人与我们和平相处, 不如让他们在这地居住, 来往作买卖吧. 这地两边都很宽阔, 可以容纳他们; 我们可以娶他们的女儿为妻, 也可以把我们的女儿嫁给他们.

34:22 Only on this condition will they give consent to us, to live with us and to become one family—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
但是只有一个条件, 这些人才应允与我们同住, 大家成为一族人, 就是我们中间所有的男子都受割礼, 好像他们受了割礼一样.

这样他们的牲畜,财产和所有的牲口, 不都要归我们所有吗? 只要我们应允他们的条件, 他们就与我们同住了. ”

34:24 And all those who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and Shechem. Every male was circumcised, all those who went out of the gate of his city.
所有从城门出入的人, 都听从了哈抹和他儿子示剑的话. 于是, 所有从城门出入的男子, 都受了割礼.

34:25 And it happened that on the third day, while they were in pain, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, each took his sword and came against the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
到了第三天, 他们正在疼痛的时候, 雅各的两个儿子, 就是底拿的哥哥西缅和利未拿着刀剑, 趁着他们想不到的时候, 进了那城, 把所有的男子都杀了.

34:26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and they took Dinah from the house of Shechem and went out.
又用刀剑杀了哈抹和他儿子示剑, 然后从示剑的家里把底拿带走.

34:30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, making me stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites! I am few in number! If they gather against me and attack me, I will be destroyed—I and my household!”
雅各对西缅和利未说: “你们连累了我, 使我在这地的居民, 就是在迦南人和比利洗人中间, 成了可憎的人. 我们人数不多, 如果他们联合起来对付我, 攻击我, 我和我的家就必灭绝了. ”

34:31 But they said, “Shall he treat our sister like a prostitute?”
他们回答说: “他怎可以待我们的妹妹好像妓女一样呢? ”

神对雅各说: “起来, 上伯特利去, 住在那里; 你要在那里筑一座坛给神, 就是从前你逃避你哥哥以扫的时候, 向你显现的那一位. ”

雅各就对他的家人, 和所有与他在一起的人说: “你们要除去你们中间外族人的神像, 你们要洁净自己, 更换你们的衣服.

Genesis - Chapter 37

37:1 And Jacob settled in the land of the sojourning of his father, in the land of Canaan.
雅各住在他父亲寄居的地方, 就是迦南地.

37:2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers. Now he was a helper with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
雅各的历史记在下面: 约瑟十七岁的时候, 与他的哥哥们一同牧羊. 他是个孩童, 与他父亲的妾, 辟拉和悉帕的众子, 常在一起. 约瑟把他们的恶行报告给父亲.

37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, for he was a son of his old age. And he made a robe with long sleeves for him.
以色列爱约瑟过于爱其他的儿子, 因为约瑟是他年老时生的. 他给约瑟做了一件彩色长衣.

37:4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him.
约瑟的哥哥们见父亲爱约瑟过于爱他们, 就恨约瑟, 不能与他和和气气地说话.

37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers. And they hated him even more.
约瑟作了一个梦, 把梦告诉哥哥们, 他们就越发恨他.

37:6 And he said to them, “Listen now to this dream that I dreamed.
约瑟对他们说: “请听我所作的这个梦:

37:7 Now behold, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field and, behold, my sheaf stood up and it remained standing. Then behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
我们正在田间捆麦子, 我的麦捆忽然站立起来, 你们的麦捆都来围着我的下拜. ”

37:8 Then his brothers said to him, “Will you really rule over us?” And they hated him even more on account of his dream and because of his words.
他的哥哥们对他说: “你真的要作我们的王吗? 真的要管辖我们吗? ”他们就为了约瑟的梦和他的话, 越发恨他.

37:9 Then he dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brothers. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream again, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
后来约瑟又作了一个梦, 也把梦向哥哥们述说了. 他说: “我又作了一个梦, 我梦见太阳,月亮和十一颗星向我下拜. ”

37:10 And he told it to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the ground to you?”
约瑟把梦向他父亲和哥哥们述说了, 他父亲就斥责他, 说: “你所作的这梦是什么梦呢? 我和你母亲, 以及你的兄弟, 真的要来俯伏在地向你下拜吗? ”

37:11 And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
他哥哥们都嫉妒他, 他父亲却把这事记在心里.

37:12 Now his brothers went to pasture the flock of their father in Shechem.
约瑟的哥哥们去了示剑, 牧放他们父亲的羊群.

37:13 And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing in Shechem? Come, let me send you to them.” And he said, “Here I am.”
以色列对约瑟说: “你的哥哥们不是在示剑牧放羊群吗? 来吧, 我要派你到他们那里去. ”约瑟回答他: “我在这里. ”

37:14 Then he said to him, “Go now, see if it goes well for your brothers and for the flock, then return word to me.” And he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he arrived at Shechem.
以色列对他说: “你去看看你的哥哥们是不是平安, 羊群是不是平安, 就回来告诉我. ”于是打发他离开希伯仑谷, 他就到示剑去了.

37:15 And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering about in a field. And the man asked him, “What do you seek?”
有人遇见约瑟在田间迷了路, 就问他说: “你找什么? ”

37:16 And he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing.”
他回答: “我正在找我的哥哥们, 请你告诉我他们在哪里牧放羊群. ”

37:17 And the man said, “They have moved on from here, for I heard them saying, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” Then Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
那人说: “他们已经离开了这里; 我听见他们说: ‘我们要到多坍去. ’”于是约瑟去追寻哥哥们, 结果在多坍找到了他们.

37:18 And they saw him from a distance. And before he drew near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
他们远远就看见了他; 趁他还没有走近, 大家就谋害他, 要把他杀死.

37:19 And each said to his brothers, “Look, this master of dreams is coming.
他们彼此说: “看哪, 那作梦的人来了.

37:20 Now then, come, let us kill him and throw him in one of the pits. Then we will say a wild animal devoured him. Then we will see what his dreams become.”
来吧, 我们把他杀了, 丢在一个枯井里, 就说有猛兽把他吃了. 我们要看看他的梦将来要怎么样. ”

37:21 And Reuben heard it and delivered him from their hand and said, “We must not take his life.”
流本听见了, 要救约瑟脱离他们的手. 他说: “我们不可取他的性命. ”

37:22 And Reuben said to them, “You must not shed blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the desert, but do not lay a hand on him”—so that he might rescue him from their hand to return him to his father.
流本又对他们说: “不可流他的血, 可以把他丢在这旷野的枯井里, 不可下手害他. ”流本的意思是要救他脱离他们的手, 把他带回去给他的父亲.

37:23 And it happened that as Joseph came to his brothers they stripped Joseph of his robe, the robe with long sleeves, that was upon him.
约瑟到了哥哥们那里, 他们就脱去他的外衣, 就是他穿在身上的那件彩衣.

37:24 And they took him and threw him into the pit (the pit was empty; there was no water in it).
他们拿住约瑟, 把他丢在枯井里. 那井是空的, 里面没有水.

37:25 Then they sat down to eat some food. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead. And their camels were carrying aromatic gum and balm and spices on the way to Egypt.
他们坐下吃饭, 举目观看, 见有一群以实玛利人从基列来. 他们的骆驼载着香料,乳香和没药, 要带下埃及去.

37:26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
犹大对他的众兄弟说: “我们杀了我们的兄弟, 把他的血隐藏起来, 究竟有什么益处呢?

37:27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, but our hand shall not be against him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers agreed.
我们不如把他卖给以实玛利人, 不要下手害他, 因为他是我们的兄弟, 我们的骨肉. ”众兄弟就听从了他.

37:28 Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and brought him up from the pit, and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
有些米甸的商人经过那里, 约瑟的哥哥们就把约瑟从枯井里拉上来, 以二十块银子把他卖给以实玛利人. 以实玛利人就把约瑟带到埃及去了.

37:29 Then Reuben returned to the pit and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes.
流本回到枯井那里, 见约瑟不在井里, 就撕裂自己的衣服.

37:30 And he returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone! Now I, what can I do?”
他回到兄弟们那里去, 说: “孩子不见了, 我可到哪里去呢? ”

37:31 Then they took the robe of Joseph and slaughtered a goat, and dipped the robe in the blood.
于是, 他们宰了一只公山羊, 把约瑟的长衣蘸在血里;

37:32 Then they sent the robe with long sleeves and they brought it to their father and said, “We found this; please examine it. Is it the robe of your son or not?”
然后打发人把彩衣送到他们父亲那里, 说: “这是我们找到的. 请你认一认, 是你儿子的长衣不是? ”

37:33 And he recognized it and said, “The robe of my son! A wild animal has devoured him! Joseph is surely torn to pieces!”
他认出这件长衣, 就说: “是我儿子的长衣, 有猛兽把他吃了. 约瑟真的被撕碎了. ”

37:34 And Jacob tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.
雅各就撕裂自己的衣服, 腰束麻布, 为他儿子哀悼了很多日子.

37:35 And all his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he refused to be consoled. And he said, “No, I shall go down to my son, to Sheol, mourning.” And his father wept for him.
他所有的儿女都起来安慰他, 他却不肯接受他们的安慰, 说: “我要悲悲哀哀地下到阴间, 到我的儿子那里去. ”约瑟的父亲就为他哀哭.

37:36 And the Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, a court official of Pharaoh, a commander of the imperial guard.
米甸人后来把约瑟卖到埃及去, 卖给法老的一个臣宰, 军长波提乏.

Genesis - Chapter 38

38:1 And it happened that at that time Judah went down from his brothers and pitched his tent near a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
那时, 犹大离开他的众兄弟下去, 到一个亚杜兰人的家里居住, 那人名叫希拉.

38:2 And Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite there whose name was Shua. And he took her and went in to her.
犹大在那里看见迦南人书亚的女儿, 就娶了她, 与她亲近.

38:3 And she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er.
她就怀了孕, 生了一个儿子, 犹大给他起名叫珥.

38:4 And she conceived again and bore a son, and he called his name Onan.
她又怀孕, 生了一个儿子, 给他起名叫俄南.

38:5 And once again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah. And he was in Chezib when she bore him.
她再怀孕, 又生了一个儿子, 就给他起名叫示拉. 她生示拉的时候, 犹大正在基悉.

38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
犹大为自己的长子珥娶妻, 名叫他玛.

38:7 And Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh killed him.
犹大的长子珥, 在耶和华眼中是个恶人, 所以耶和华取去他的性命.

38:8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
于是犹大对俄南说: “你去与你哥哥的妻子亲近, 向她尽你作弟弟的本分, 替你的哥哥立后. ”

38:9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be for him, so whenever he went in to the wife of his brother he would waste it on the ground so as not to give offspring to his brother.
俄南知道生下来的孩子不会归自己, 所以每次与哥哥的妻子亲近的时候, 都遗精在地上, 免得替自己的哥哥立后.

38:10 And what he did was evil in the sight of Yahweh, so he killed him also.
俄南所作的, 在耶和华眼中是件恶事, 所以耶和华也取去他的性命.

38:11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Stay a widow in your father’s house until Shelah my son grows up,” for he feared he would also die like his brother. So Tamar went and stayed in the house of her father.
于是, 犹大对他的媳妇他玛说: “你回到你父亲家里去守寡, 等我的儿子示拉长大. ”因为他心里想: “恐怕示拉也像他两个哥哥一样死去. ”他玛就回去, 住在她父亲的家里.

38:12 And in the course of time the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. When Judah was consoled he went up to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite, to Timnah.
过了很多日子, 犹大的妻子, 书亚的女儿死了. 守丧的时间过了以后, 犹大就和他的朋友亚杜兰人希拉上亭拿去, 到替他羊群剪毛的人那里.

38:13 And it was told to Tamar, saying, “Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
有人告诉他玛说: “你的公公现在上亭拿去剪羊毛. ”

38:14 So she removed the clothes of her widowhood and covered herself with the veil and disguised herself. And she sat at the entrance to Eynayim, which is on the way to Timnah, for she saw that Shelah was grown but she had not been given to him as a wife.
他玛见示拉已经长大了, 还没有娶她为妻, 就脱去守寡的衣服, 用帕子蒙脸, 遮蔽自己, 坐在亭拿路上, 伊拿印的城门口.

38:15 And Judah saw her and reckoned her to be a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
犹大看见她, 以为她是个妓女, 因为她蒙着脸.

38:16 And he turned aside to her at the roadside and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, “What will you give to me that you may come in to me?”
犹大就过到她那边去, 说: “来吧, 让我与你亲近. ”原来他不知道她就是自己的媳妇. 他玛说: “你与我亲近要给我什么呢? ”

38:17 And he said, “I will send a kid from the goats of the flock.” And she said, “Only if you give a pledge until you send it.”
犹大说: “我从羊群中拿一只小山羊送给你. ”他玛说: “在你没有送来以前, 你可以留些东西作为保证吗? ”

38:18 And he said, “What is the pledge that I must give to you?” And she said, “your seal, your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” And he gave them to her and went in to her. And she conceived by him.
犹大问: “你要我给你什么作保证呢? ”他玛回答: “你的印戒, 连同印的带子, 以及你手里的杖. ”犹大就给了她, 与她亲近, 她就从犹大怀了孕.

38:19 And she arose and left, and she removed her veil from herself and put on the garments of her widowhood.
他玛起来走了, 脱去帕子, 再穿上守寡的衣服.

38:20 And Judah sent the kid from the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite to take back the pledge from the hand of the woman, but he could not find her.
犹大托自己的朋友亚杜兰人, 把一只小山羊送去, 要从那女人手中取回保证物, 却找不着她.

38:21 So he asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is that cult prostitute that was at Eynayim by the roadside?” And they said, “There is no cult prostitute here.”
希拉问那地方的人说: “伊拿印路旁的妓女在哪里呢? ”他们回答: “这里是没有妓女的. ”

38:22 Then he returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her. Morever, the men of the place said, ‘There is no cult prostitute here.’ ”
那人回去见犹大, 说: “我找不着她, 并且那地的人都说: ‘这里是没有妓女的. ’”

38:23 And Judah said, “Let her take them for herself, lest we be laughed at. Behold, I sent this kid, but you could not find her.”
犹大说: “那些东西任她拿去吧, 免得我们被人嗤笑. 我已经把这小山羊送了去, 可是你找不着她. ”

38:24 And about three months later it was told to Judah, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the whore, and now, behold, she has conceived by prostitution.” And Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned.”
大约过了三个月, 有人告诉犹大说: “你的媳妇他玛作了妓女, 并且因此怀了孕. ”犹大说: “把她拉出来, 烧死她. ”

38:25 She was brought out, but she sent to her father-in-law saying, “By the man to whom these belong I have conceived.” And she said, “Now discern to whom these belong: the seal and cord and the staff.”
他玛被拉出来的时候, 派人去见她的公公说: “这些东西是谁的, 我就是从谁怀了孕. ”她又说: “请你认一认, 这印戒,印的带子和手杖是谁的? ”

38:26 Then Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.
犹大认出那些东西, 就说: “她比我更有理, 因为我没有把她给我的儿子示拉为妻. ”从此犹大就不再与她亲近了.

38:27 And it happened that at the time she gave birth that, behold, twins were in her womb.
到了他玛将要生产的时候, 腹中竟是一对双胎.

38:28 And it happened that at her labor one child put out a hand. And the midwife took it and tied a crimson thread on his hand saying, “This one came out first.”
她正在生产的时候, 一个孩子伸出一只手来. 接生婆拿了一根朱红线, 系在他的手上, 说: “这一个是先出生的. ”

38:29 Then his hand drew back and, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” And she called his name Perez.
他把手收回去的时候, 他的哥哥就出来了. 接生婆说: “你为什么抢着出来呢? ”因此, 给他起名叫法勒斯.

38:30 And afterward his brother who had the crimson thread on his hand came out. And his name was called Zerah.
接着, 手上系着一根朱红线的弟弟也出来了. 因此, 给他起名叫谢拉.

因此, 监狱长把监里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟手里; 他们在那里所作的一切事务, 都由约瑟负责处理.

39:23 The chief of the prison did not worry about anything in his hand, since Yahweh was with him. And whatever he did Yahweh made it successful.
凡交在约瑟手里的事务, 监狱长一概不闻不问; 因为耶和华与约瑟同在, 使他所作的尽都顺利.

Genesis - Chapter 40

40:1 And it happened that after these things the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker did wrong against their lord, against the king of Egypt.
这些事以后, 埃及王的酒政和膳长, 得罪了他们的主人埃及王.

40:2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, with the chief cupbearer and chief baker.
法老就恼怒酒政和膳长这两个臣宰,

40:3 And he put them in custody in the house of the chief of the guard, into the prison where Joseph was confined.
把他们关在军长府内的监房里, 就是约瑟被囚禁的地方.

40:4 And the chief of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. And they were in custody many days.
军长把他们交给约瑟, 约瑟就侍候他们. 他们在监房里过了好些日子.

40:5 And the two of them, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, dreamed a dream, each his own dream, with its own interpretation.
他们二人, 就是被关在监里的埃及王的酒政和膳长, 同一夜各作了一个梦, 二人的梦各有不同的解释.

40:6 When Joseph came to them in the morning he looked at them, and behold, they were troubled.
到了早晨, 约瑟进去到他们那里, 见他们神色不安,

40:7 And he asked the court officials of Pharaoh that were with him in the custody of his master’s house, “Why are your faces sad today?”
就问法老的两个臣宰, 就是与他一同关在他主人府内的监房里的, 说: “今天你们的脸色为什么这样难看呢? ”

40:8 And they said to him, “We each dreamed a dream, but there is no one to interpret it.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
他们回答他: “我们各人作了一个梦, 但没有人能够解释. ”约瑟对他们说: “解梦不是出于神吗? 请把梦告诉我吧. ”

40:9 Then the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and he said to him, “In my dream, now behold, there was a vine before me,
酒政就把自己的梦告诉约瑟, 对他说: “在梦里我看见我面前有一棵葡萄树.

40:10 and on the vine were three branches. And as it budded, its blossoms came up, and its clusters of grapes grew ripe.
葡萄树上有三根枝子; 树一发芽, 就开了花, 上头的葡萄都成熟了.

40:11 And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into the cup of Pharaoh. Then I placed the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.”
法老的杯在我手里, 我拿了葡萄挤在法老的杯中, 把杯递在法老的手里. ”

40:12 Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: The three branches, they are three days.
约瑟对他说: “这梦的解释是这样: 三根枝子就是三天.

40:13 In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and will restore you to your office. And you shall put the cup of Pharaoh into his hand as was formerly the custom, when you were his cupbearer.
三天之内, 法老必使你抬起头来, 恢复你原来的职位; 你仍要把杯递在法老的手里, 好像先前作他的酒政时一样.

40:14 But remember me when it goes well with you, and please may you show kindness with respect to me, and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
不过, 你一切顺利的时候, 求你记念我, 施恩给我, 在法老面前提拔我, 救我脱离这监狱.

40:15 For I was surely kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me in this pit.”
我实在是从希伯来人之地被拐来; 就是在这里, 我也没有作过什么事该被关在监牢里的. ”

40:16 And when the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good he said to Joseph, “I also dreamed. In my dream, now behold, there were three baskets of bread upon my head.
膳长见梦解得好, 就对约瑟说: “我也作了一个梦, 在梦里我看见自己头上有三篮白饼.

40:17 And in the upper basket were all sorts of baked foods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket upon my head.”
最上面的篮子里, 有为法老烤的各种食物, 但飞鸟来吃我头上篮子里的食物. ”

40:18 Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: The three baskets, they are three days.
约瑟回答: “这梦的解释是这样: 三个篮子就是三天.

40:19 In three days Pharaoh will lift your head from you and hang you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
三天之内, 法老必砍下你的头来, 把你挂在木头上, 必有飞鸟来吃你身上的肉. ”

40:20 And it happened that on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker in the midst of his servants.
到了第三日, 就是法老的生日, 他为臣仆摆设筵席, 在他们面前把酒政和膳长提出监来,

40:21 And he restored the chief cupbearer to his cupbearing position. And he placed the cup in the hand of Pharaoh.
恢复了酒政原来的职位, 叫他可以把杯递在法老的手中;

40:22 But the chief baker he hanged as Joseph had interpreted to them.
法老却把膳长挂起来, 正如约瑟给他们的解释一样.

40:23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
但是酒政并不记念约瑟, 竟把他忘记了.

Genesis - Chapter 41

41:1 And it happened that after two full years Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.
过了两年, 法老作了一个梦, 梦见自己站在河边.

41:2 And behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
有七头母牛从河里上来, 又健美又肥壮, 在芦苇中吃草.

41:3 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood beside those cows on the bank of the Nile.
接着, 又有另外七头母牛从河里上来, 又丑陋又瘦弱, 站在岸上其他母牛旁边.

41:4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate the seven well built and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
这些丑陋瘦弱的母牛, 竟把那些健美肥壮的母牛吃掉, 法老就醒了.

41:5 And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time, and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were coming out of one stalk.
他又睡着, 作了第二个梦, 梦见一根麦茎, 长出七个麦穗, 又肥壮又美好.

41:6 And behold, seven thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
接着, 又长出七个麦穗, 又干瘦又被东风吹焦了.

41:7 And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven plump and full ears of grain. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
这些干瘦的麦穗, 竟把那七个又肥壮又饱满的麦穗吞下去, 法老就醒了, 原来是一个梦.

41:8 And it happened that in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called all of the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh told his dream to them. But they had no interpretation for Pharaoh.
到了早晨, 法老心里烦乱, 就派人去把埃及所有的术士和智慧人都召了来; 法老把自己的梦告诉他们, 但是没有人能替法老解梦.

41:9 Then the chief of the cupbearers spoke with Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my sins today.
那时酒政告诉法老说: “我今日想起了我的过错.

41:10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the house of the chief of the guard.
从前法老恼怒臣仆, 把我和膳长关在军长府的监房里.

41:11 And we dreamed a dream one night, I and he, each with a dream that had a meaning.
我们二人在同一夜都作了梦; 我们的梦各有不同的解释.

41:12 And there with us was a young man, a Hebrew servant of the chief of the guard, and we told him the dream, and he interpreted our dreams for us, each according to his dream he interpreted.
在那里有一个希伯来的少年人与我们在一起, 他是军长的仆人, 我们把梦告诉了他, 他就替我们解梦, 各人的梦有不同的解释.

41:13 And it happened just as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and him he hanged.”
结果, 事情都照着他给我们的解释实现了: 我恢复了原职, 膳长却被挂起来. ”

41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they brought him quickly from the prison. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.
法老于是派人去召约瑟. 他们就急忙把约瑟从监里带出来. 他剃了头,刮了脸,换了衣服, 就进去见法老.

41:15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed a dream, but there is none to interpret it. Now, I have heard concerning you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
法老对约瑟说: “我作了一个梦, 没有人能够解释. 我听见人说, 你听了梦, 就能解释. ”

41:16 Then Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, “It is not in my power; God will answer concerning the well-being of Pharaoh.”
约瑟回答法老, 说: “解梦不在于我, 但神必给法老一个吉祥的解答. ”

41:17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now in my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
法老告诉约瑟: “在梦里我看见我站在河边.

41:18 and behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
有七头母牛从河里上来, 又肥壮又健美, 在芦苇中吃草.

41:19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very ugly and gaunt—never have I seen any as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
接着, 又有另外七头母牛上来, 又软弱又消瘦又十分丑陋, 在埃及全地我没有见过这样丑陋的牛.

41:20 And the thin and ugly cows ate the former seven healthy cows.
这又消瘦又丑陋的母牛, 竟把先前七头肥壮的母牛吃掉.

41:21 But when they went into their bellies it could not be known that they went into their bellies, for their appearance was as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
它们吃了以后, 却看不出它们是吃掉了肥牛, 因为它们丑陋的样子仍是与先前一样. 我就醒了.

41:22 Then I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears of grain were coming out of one stalk, full and good.
在梦里我又看见一根麦茎, 长出七个麦穗, 又饱满又美好.

41:23 And behold, seven withered ears of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
接着, 又长出了七个麦穗, 又枯干又干瘦又被东风吹焦了.

41:24 And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven good ears of grain. And I told the magicians, but there was none to explain it to me.”
这些干瘦的麦穗, 竟把那七个美好的麦穗吞下去. 我把梦告诉了术士, 但是没有人能替我解答. ”

41:25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
约瑟对法老说: “法老的梦都是同一个意思, 神已经把所要作的事告诉法老了.

41:26 The seven good cows, they are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain, they are seven years. The dreams are one.
七头美好的母牛是七年, 七个美好的麦穗也是七年; 两个梦都是同一个意思.

41:27 And the seven thin and ugly cows coming up after them, they are seven years, and the seven empty ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, they are also seven years of famine.
那接着上来的七头又消瘦又丑陋的母牛是七年, 那七个不结实,被东风吹焦了的麦穗也是七年, 都是七年饥荒.

41:28 This is the word that I have spoken to Pharaoh; God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
这就是我对法老所说: 神要作的事, 他已经向法老显明了.

41:29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.
看哪, 埃及全地必有七年大丰收.

41:30 Then seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will consume the land.
接着又必有七年饥荒; 甚至埃及地所有的丰收都被人忘记了, 饥荒必把这地毁灭.

41:31 Abundance in the land will not be known because of the famine that follows, for it will be very heavy.
因为接着而来的饥荒太严重了, 使人不觉得这地有过丰收.

41:32 Now concerning the repetition of the dream twice to Pharaoh, it is because the matter is established by God, and God will do it quickly.
至于法老两次作梦, 是因为神已经命定这事, 并且要快快地实行.

41:33 Now then, let Pharaoh select a man who is discerning and wise, and let him set him over the land of Egypt.
因此, 法老要找一个有见识有智慧的人, 派他管理埃及地.

41:34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint supervisors over the land, and let him take one-fifth from the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.
法老要这样行, 在国中指派官员, 当七年丰收的时候, 征收埃及地出产的五分之一.

41:35 Then let them gather all the food of these coming good years and let them pile up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
又叫他们把将要来的七个丰年的粮食收集起来, 积蓄五谷归在法老的手下, 收在各城里作粮食.

41:36 Then the food shall be as a deposit for the land for the seven years of the famine that will be in the land of Egypt, that the land will not perish on account of the famine.”
这些粮食要储存起来, 可以应付将来埃及地的七年饥荒, 免得这地被饥荒所灭. ”

41:37 And the plan was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
法老和他的臣仆, 都赞同这件事.

41:38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this in whom is the spirit of God?”
于是法老对臣仆说: “像这样的人, 有神的灵在他里面, 我们怎能找得着呢? ”

41:39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all of this known to you there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
法老对约瑟说: “神既然把这事指示了你, 就再没有人像你这样有见识有智慧了.

41:40 You shall be over my house, and to your word all my people shall submit. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
你可以掌管我的家, 我的人民都要听从你的话; 只有在王位上我比你大. ”

41:41 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
法老又对约瑟说: “你看, 我任命你治理埃及全地. ”

41:42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his finger and put it on the finger of Joseph. And he clothed him with garments of fine linen, and he put a chain of gold around his neck.
于是, 法老脱下他手上打印的戒指, 戴在约瑟的手上; 给他穿上细麻的衣服, 把金颈链挂在他的颈项上;

41:43 And he had him ride in his second chariot. And they cried out before him, “Kneel!” And Pharaoh set him over all the land of Egypt.
又叫约瑟坐在他的副车, 有人在他前面喊着: “跪下. ”这样, 法老任命了约瑟治理埃及全地.

41:44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your consent no one will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
法老对约瑟说: “我是法老, 但在埃及全地, 如果没有你的许可, 没有人可以随意作事. ”

41:45 And Pharaoh called the name of Joseph Zaphenath-paneah and gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
法老给约瑟起名叫撒发那忒．巴内亚, 又把安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳, 给约瑟为妻. 约瑟出去巡行埃及全地.

41:46 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and traveled through the whole land of Egypt.
约瑟侍立在埃及王法老面前的时候, 年三十岁. 约瑟从法老面前出来, 遍行埃及全地.

41:47 And the land produced a plenty in the seven years of abundance.
在七个丰年的时候, 地里的出产非常丰盛.

41:48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt. And he stored the food in the cities. The food of the field that surrounded each city he stored in its midst.
约瑟把埃及七个丰年的一切粮食都收集起来, 把粮食存放在城中; 各城周围田地所出的粮食, 也存放在各城中.

41:49 And Joseph piled up grain like the sand of the sea in great abundance until he stopped counting it, for it could not be counted.
约瑟积蓄了极多的五谷, 好像海沙那样多, 甚至他不再记下数量, 因为实在无法计算.

41:50 Before the years of famine came, Asenath, daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore two sons to him.
在荒年还没有来到以前, 约瑟生了两个儿子, 是安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳给约瑟生的.

41:51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has caused me to forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.”
约瑟给长子起名叫玛拿西, 因为他说: “神使我忘记我所有的困苦, 以及我父的全家. ”

41:52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortune.”
他给次子起名叫以法莲, 因为他说: “神使我在受苦之地繁盛起来. ”

41:53 And the seven years of abundance which were in the land of Egypt came to an end.
埃及地的七年丰收一结束,

41:54 And the seven years of famine began to come as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all of the countries, but in the land of Egypt there was food.
七年饥荒就随着来了, 正像约瑟所说的一样. 各地都有饥荒, 只有埃及全地仍有粮食,

41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was hungry the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. And Pharaoh said to all the land of Egypt, “Go to Joseph; what he says to you, you must do.”
等到埃及全地也要挨饿的时候, 人民就向法老求粮. 法老对所有的埃及人说: “你们到约瑟那里去, 他吩咐你们什么, 你们就作什么. ”

41:56 And the famine was over the whole land, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold food to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
当时饥荒遍及全国, 约瑟就开了所有的粮仓, 把粮食卖给埃及人, 因为埃及地的饥荒非常严重.

41:57 And every land came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, for the famine was severe in every land.
各地的人都到埃及去, 向约瑟买粮, 因为各地的饥荒都非常严重.

Genesis - Chapter 42

42:1 When Jacob realized that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
雅各见埃及有粮食, 就对儿子们说: “你们为什么彼此对望呢? ”

42:2 Then he said, “Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy grain for us there that we may live and not die.”
他又说: “我听说埃及有粮食, 你们下到那里去, 给我们买些粮食, 使我们可以活下去, 不至饿死. ”

42:3 And the ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt.
于是, 约瑟的十个哥哥就下去了, 要从埃及买五谷.

42:4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, for he feared harm would come to him.
但雅各并没有打发约瑟的弟弟便雅悯与哥哥们同去, 因为雅各说: “恐怕他会遇到灾害. ”

42:5 Then the sons of Israel went to buy grain amid those other people who went as well, for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
以色列的众子也在前来买粮的人群中, 因为迦南地也有饥荒.

42:6 Now Joseph was the governor over the land. He was the one who sold food to all the people of the land. And the brothers of Joseph came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
当时治理埃及地的官长是约瑟, 卖粮给那地所有的人民的就是他. 所以, 约瑟的哥哥们来俯伏在地向他下拜.

42:7 And Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger to them. And he spoke with them harshly and said to them, “From where have you come?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
约瑟看见他的哥哥们, 就认得他们, 可是他装作陌生人, 对他们说严厉的话, 问他们: “你们是哪里来的? ”他们回答: “我们是迦南地来买粮食的. ”

42:8 And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
约瑟认得他的哥哥们, 他们却不认得他.

42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed concerning them, and he said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!”
约瑟想起从前所作关于他们的两个梦, 就对他们说: “你们是间谍, 是来侦察本地的虚实. ”

42:10 And they said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
他们对他说: “我主啊, 不是这样, 仆人们实在是来买粮食的.

42:11 We all are sons of one man. We are honest men. We, your servants, are not spies.”
我们都是一个人的儿子, 是诚实人; 仆人们并不是间谍. ”

42:12 Then he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
约瑟对他们说: “不是的, 你们实在是来侦察本地的虚实. ”

42:13 Then they said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, but behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”
他们说: “仆人们本是兄弟十二人, 我们都是迦南地一个人的儿子. 最小的现在与我们的父亲在一起, 还有一个不在了. ”

42:14 But Joseph said to them, “It is what I said to you—you are spies.
约瑟对他们说: “我刚才对你们说: ‘你们是间谍. ’这话实在不错.

42:15 By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh you will not go out from here unless your youngest brother comes here.
我要这样试试你们: 我指着法老的性命起誓, 如果你们最小的弟弟不到这里来, 你们就决不得离开这里.

42:16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, but you will be kept in prison so that your words might be tested to see if there is truth with you. And if not, by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”
你们可以派你们中间一个人回去, 把你们的弟弟带来; 其余的人都要囚禁起来, 好证明你们的话真实不真实. 如果不真实, 我指着法老的性命起誓, 你们就是间谍. ”

42:17 Then he gathered them into the prison for three days.
于是, 约瑟把他们收在监房里三天.

42:18 On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live; I fear God.
到了第三天, 约瑟对他们说: “我是敬畏神的, 你们要这样作, 就可以活着;

42:19 If you are honest, let one of your brothers be kept in prison where you are now being kept, but the rest of you go, carry grain for the famine for your households.
如果你们是诚实人, 就叫你们兄弟中一个人囚禁在监里, 你们其余的人可以带着粮食回去, 解救你们家人的饥荒.

42:20 You must bring your youngest brother to me, and then your words will be confirmed and you will not die.” And they did so.
然后把你们最小的弟弟带到我这里来, 这样, 就可以证明你们的话是真实的, 你们就不必死了. ”他们就照样作了.

42:21 Then each said to his brother, “Surely we are guilty on account of our brother when we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded for mercy to us and we would not listen. Therefore this trouble has come to us.”
他们彼此说: “我们在对待弟弟的事上实在有罪. 他向我们求情的时候, 我们看见他心里的痛苦, 却不肯听他, 所以这次苦难临到我们身上了. ”

42:22 Then Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not say to you, do not sin against the boy? But you did not listen, and now, behold, his blood has been sought.”
流本回答他们, 说: “我不是对你们说过: ‘不要伤害那孩子’吗? 可是你们不肯听, 现在流他血的罪要向我们追讨. ”

42:23 Now they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
他们不知道约瑟听得明白, 因为他们中间有人当传译.

42:24 And he turned away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and spoke to them, and took Simeon from them and tied him up in front of them.
约瑟转身离开他们, 哭了一阵, 又回到他们那里, 与他们说话. 然后从他们中间拉出西缅来, 在他们眼前把他捆绑起来.

42:25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain and to return their money to each sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. Thus he did for them.
约瑟吩咐人把五谷装满他们的袋, 把他们的银子放回各人的布袋里; 又给他们路上用的食物. 一切就照样办了.

42:26 Then they loaded their grain upon their donkeys and went away from there.
他们把粮食驮在他们的驴上, 离开那里去了.

42:27 And one of them later opened his sack to give fodder to his donkey at the lodging place and saw his money—behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
到了住宿的地方, 他们其中的一个人打开了布袋, 要拿饲料喂驴的时候, 才发现自己的银子还在袋口那里.

42:28 And he said to his brothers, “My money was returned and moreover, behold, it is in my sack!” Then their hearts failed them and each of them trembled and said, “What is this God has done to us?”
于是对兄弟们说: “我的银子都归还了. 你们看, 就在我的布袋里. ”他们就心里惊慌, 彼此战战兢兢地说: “神向我们作的是什么呢? ”

42:29 And when they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan they told him everything that had happened to them, saying,
他们回到迦南地他们的父亲雅各那里, 把他们遭遇的一切事都告诉了他, 说:

42:30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us and treated us as if we were spying out the land.
“那地的主人对我们说了一些严厉的话, 把我们当作侦察那地的间谍.

42:31 But we said to him, ‘We are honest; we are not spies.
我们对他说: ‘我们是诚实人, 并不是间谍.

42:32 We are twelve brothers, the sons of our father. One is no more and the youngest is with our father now in the land of Canaan.’
我们本是兄弟十二人, 都是一个父亲的儿子; 有一个不在了, 最小的现在与我们的父亲一起在迦南地. ’

42:33 Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest. Leave one brother with me, and take food for the famine in your households and go.
那地的主人对我们说: ‘我用这个办法就可以知道你们是不是诚实人: 你们兄弟中要留下一人在我这里, 其余的人可以带着粮食回去, 解救你们家人的饥荒.

42:34 And bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies but you are honest. And I will give your brother back to you, and you will trade in the land.’ ”
然后把你们最小的弟弟带到我这里来, 我就知道你们不是间谍, 而是诚实人了. 这样, 我就把你们的兄弟交还给你们, 你们也可以在这地自由来往. ’”

42:35 And it happened that when they emptied their sacks, behold, each one’s pouch of money was in his sack. And when they and their father saw the pouches of their money, they were greatly distressed.
后来他们倒布袋的时候, 不料各人的银包仍然在各人的布袋里. 他们和他们的父亲看见了银包, 就都惧怕起来.

42:36 And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me—Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and Benjamin you would take! All of this is against me!
他们的父亲雅各对他们说: “你们总是使我丧失儿子: 约瑟没有了, 西缅也没有了, 你们还要把便雅悯带走; 每一件事都是针对我. ”

42:37 Then Reuben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hand and I myself will return him to you.”
流本对他父亲说: “如果我不把他带回来给你, 你可以杀死我的两个儿子; 只管把他交给我吧, 我必把他带回来给你. ”

42:38 But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead and he alone remains. If harm meets him on the journey that you would take, you would bring down my gray head in sorrow to Sheol.”
雅各说: “我的儿子不可与你们一同下去, 因为他的哥哥死了, 只剩下他一个; 如果他在你们所走的路上遇到不幸, 你们就使我这白发老人愁愁苦苦地下阴间去了. ”

Genesis - Chapter 43

43:1 Now the famine in the land was severe.
那地的饥荒十分严重.

43:2 And it happened that as they finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt their father said to them, “Return and buy a little food for us.”
他们把从埃及带回来的粮食都吃完了. 他们的父亲就对他们说: “你们再去替我们买些粮食回来吧. ”

43:3 Then Judah said to him, “The man solemnly admonished us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’
犹大对他说: “那人认真地警告我们说: ‘如果你们的弟弟不与你们一起来, 你们就不得见我的面. ’

43:4 If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you,
如果你让我们的弟弟与我们同去, 我们就下去替你买粮食.

43:5 but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ”
如果你不让他去, 我们也不下去, 因为那人对我们说: ‘如果你们的弟弟不与你们一起来, 你们就不得见我的面. ’”

43:6 Then Israel said, “Why did you bring trouble to me by telling the man you still had a brother?”
以色列说: “你们为什么这样害我, 告诉那人你们还有个弟弟呢? ”

43:7 And they said, “The man asked explicitly about us and about our family, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have a brother?’ And we answered him according to these words. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring down your brother’?”
他们回答: “那人确实查问有关我们和我们亲属的事, 说: ‘你们的父亲还活着吗? 你们还有其他的兄弟吗? ’我们就照着这些话回答他. 我们怎么知道他会说: ‘你们必要把你们的弟弟带下来’呢? ”

43:8 Then Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, so that we will live and not die—you, we, and our children.
犹大对他父亲以色列说: “你若打发那孩子与我同去, 我们就立刻起程, 好叫我们和你, 以及我们的孩子都可以存活, 不至饿死.

43:9 I myself will be surety for him. You may seek him from my hand. If I do not bring him back to you and present him before you, then I will stand guilty before you forever.
我愿意亲自担保他的安全, 你可以从我手里追回他. 如果我不把他带回来给你, 交在你面前, 我愿终生承担这罪.

43:10 Surely if we had not hesitated by this time we would have returned twice.”
要不是我们耽延, 现在第二次也回来了. ”

43:11 Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so then do this. Take some of the best products of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift—a little balm and honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, and pistachios and almonds.
他们的父亲以色列对他们说: “如果必须如此, 你们就这样作: 你们把本地最好的出产放在袋里, 带下去给那人作礼物, 就是一点乳香,一点蜂蜜,香料,没药,粟子和杏仁.

43:12 And take double the money in your hands. Take back the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake.
你们手里要多带一倍银子, 因为你们要把那放回在你们袋口里的银子带回去, 那可能是弄错了的.

43:13 And take your brother. Now arise and return to the man.
你们带着你们的弟弟, 起程再到那人那里去吧.

43:14 And may El-Shaddai grant you compassion before the man that he may release your other brother to you and Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
愿全能的神使那人怜悯你们, 给你们释放你们那个兄弟和便雅悯. 至于我, 如果要丧失儿子, 就丧失了吧. ”

43:15 So the men took this gift, and they took double money in their hands, and Benjamin, and they rose up and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
于是, 他们带着这些礼物, 手里拿着多一倍的银子, 并且带着便雅悯, 起程下到埃及去, 站在约瑟面前.

43:16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them he said to the one who was over his household, “Bring the men into the house and slaughter and prepare an animal, for the men shall eat with me at noon.”
约瑟见便雅悯与他们同来, 就对管家说: “把这些人带到我家里, 要宰杀牲畜, 预备筵席, 因为在正午的时候, 这些人要与我一起吃饭. ”

43:17 And the man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men into the house of Joseph.
管家就照着约瑟所吩咐的去作, 把这些人带到约瑟的家里.

43:18 And the men were afraid when they were brought into the house of Joseph. And they said “We were brought here on account of the money that was returned to our sacks the first time, that he might attack us and fall upon us to take us as slaves with our donkeys.”
他们因为被领到约瑟的家里, 就害怕起来, 说: “我们被领到这里来, 必定是为了头一次放回在我们袋里的银子, 现在他们想攻击我们, 制伏我们, 逼我们作奴仆, 又夺去我们的驴. ”

43:19 So they approached the man who was over Joseph’s house and spoke to him at the doorway of the house.
他们于是走近约瑟的管家, 在屋门口与他说话.

43:20 And they said, “Please, my lord, we surely came down once before to buy food,
他们说: “先生啊, 我们头一次下来, 实在是要买粮食的.

43:21 but when we came to the place of lodging and we opened our sacks, then behold, each one’s money was in the mouth of his sack—our money in its full weight—so we have returned with it in our hands.
后来我们来到住宿的地方, 打开布袋的时候, 不料各人的银子仍然在各人的袋口里, 分文不少; 现在我们手里又带回来了.

43:22 Now, other money we have brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”
我们手里又另外带来银子, 是买粮食用的. 我们不知道头一次谁把我们的银子放在我们的布袋里. ”

43:23 And he said, “Peace to you; do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father must have given you a treasure in your sacks; your money came to me.” And he brought Simeon out to them.
管家说: “你们可以放心, 不要害怕, 是你们的神, 你们父亲的神, 把财宝赐给你们, 放在你们的布袋里. 你们的银子我早已收到了. ”接着他把西缅带出来交给他们.

43:24 Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and he gave them water and washed their feet, and gave fodder to their donkeys.
管家把他们领到约瑟的家里, 给他们水洗脚, 又给他们饲料喂驴.

43:25 Then they laid out the gift until Joseph came at noon, for they had heard that they were to eat food there.
于是, 他们预备好了礼物, 等候约瑟中午到来, 因为他们听说他们要在那里吃饭.

43:26 And when Joseph came into the house they brought the gift that was in their hand into the house to him, and they bowed down before him to the ground.
约瑟回到家里, 他们就把手中的礼物带进屋里送给他, 又俯伏在地向他下拜.

43:27 And he greeted them and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
约瑟先向他们问安, 然后又问: “你们的父亲, 就是你们所说的那老人家平安吗? 他还在吗? ”

43:28 And they said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they knelt and bowed down.
他们回答: “你仆人我们的父亲平安, 他还在. ”于是他们低头下拜.

43:29 Then he lifted up his eyes and saw Benjamin his brother, the son of his mother, and said, “Is this your youngest brother of whom you told me?” And he continued, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
约瑟举目观看, 看见自己同母所生的弟弟便雅悯, 就问: “这就是你们向我提过那最小的弟弟吗? ”又说: “我儿啊, 愿神赐恩给你. ”

43:30 Then Joseph hurried away, being overcome with emotion toward his brother, and sought for a place to cry. Then he went into a room and wept there.
约瑟爱弟弟之情激动起来, 就急忙去找个可哭的地方. 于是他进了自己的内室, 在那里哭了一阵.

43:31 Then he washed his face and went out, now controlling himself, and said, “Serve the food.”
他洗了面, 然后出来, 抑制着自己的感情, 吩咐人说: “开饭吧. ”

43:32 And they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, for Egyptians could not dine with Hebrews, because that was a detestable thing to Egyptians.
他们就给约瑟单独摆了一席, 给那些人另外摆了一席, 又给那些与约瑟一同吃饭的埃及人摆了一席, 因为埃及人不能与希伯来人一同吃饭, 这是埃及人所厌恶的.

43:33 And they were seated before him from the firstborn according to his birthright to the youngest according to his youth. And the men looked at one another amazed.
约瑟使众兄弟在他面前排列坐下, 都是照着他们长幼的次序. 众兄弟就彼此对望, 惊奇不已.

43:34 And portions were served to them from his table, and the portion of Benjamin was five times greater than the portion of any of them. And they drank and became drunk with him.
约瑟拿起自己面前的食物, 分给他们, 但是便雅悯分得的食物, 比别人多五倍. 他们就与约瑟一同喝酒宴乐.

Genesis - Chapter 44

44:1 Then he commanded the one who was over his household, saying, “Fill the sacks of the men with food as much as they are able to carry, and put each one’s money in the mouth of his sack.
约瑟吩咐管家说: “把粮食装满这些人的布袋, 要尽他们所能携带的, 又把各人的银子放在他们的袋口;

44:2 And my cup—the cup of silver—you shall put into the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the money for his grain. And he did according to the word of Joseph that he had commanded.
把我的银杯, 放在最小的袋口, 连同他买粮食的银子放进去. ”管家就照着约瑟吩咐的话去作.

44:3 When the morning light came the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
早晨天一亮, 那些人和他们的驴子都被打发走了.

44:4 They went out of the city, and had not gone far when Joseph said to the one who was over his house, “Arise! Pursue after the men and overtake them. Then you shall say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good?
他们出了城, 走了不远, 约瑟就对管家说: “起来, 追赶那些人; 追上了, 就对他们说: ‘你为什么以恶报善呢?

44:5 Is this not that from which my master drinks? Now he himself certainly practices divination with it. You have done evil in what you have done.’ ”
这不是我主人喝酒和占卜用的杯吗? 你们所作的, 实在不对. ’”

44:6 When he overtook them he spoke these words to them.
管家追上了他们, 就对他们说了这些话.

44:7 And they said to him, “Why has my lord spoken according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
他们对管家说: “我主为什么说这样的话呢? 你的仆人绝不会作这样的事.

44:8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sacks we returned to you from the land of Canaan. Now why would we steal silver or gold from the house of my lord?
你看, 我们从前在袋口发现的银子, 尚且从迦南地带来还给你, 我们又怎会从你主人的家里偷取金银呢?

44:9 Whoever is found with it from among your servants shall die. And moreover, we will become slaves to my lord.”
在你仆人当中, 无论在谁那里搜出来, 谁就要死, 我们也要作我主的奴仆. ”

44:10 Then he said, “Now also according to your words, thus will it be. He who is found with it shall be my slave, but you shall be innocent.”
管家说: “现在就照你们的话作吧, 只是在谁那里搜出来, 谁就要作我的奴仆, 其余的人都没有罪. ”

44:11 Then each man quickly brought down his sack to the ground, and each one opened his sack.
于是, 他们急忙把自己的布袋卸在地上, 各人打开自己的布袋.

44:12 And he searched, beginning with the oldest and finishing with the youngest. And the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin.
管家就搜查, 从最大的开始, 查到最小的. 那杯竟在便雅悯的布袋里搜出来了.

44:13 Then they tore their clothes, and each one loaded his donkey and they returned to the city.
他们就撕裂自己的衣服, 各人又把担子驮在驴上, 回城去了.

44:14 And Judah and his brothers came to the house of Joseph—now he was still there—they fell before him to the ground.
犹大和他的兄弟来到约瑟的家里, 那时约瑟还在那里; 他们就在他面前俯伏在地.

44:15 Then Joseph said to them, “What is this deed that you have done? Did you not know that a man who is like me surely practices divination?”
约瑟对他们说: “你们所作的是什么事呢? 你们不知道像我这样的人必能占卜吗? ”

44:16 And Judah said, “What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? Now how can we show ourselves innocent? God has found the guilt of your servants! Behold, we are slaves to my lord, both we and also he in whose hand the cup was found.”
犹大说: “我们对我主可以说什么呢? 我们还有什么可说的呢? 我们怎能证明自己是清白的呢? 神已经查出你仆人们的罪孽了. 看哪, 我们和那在他手里搜出杯来的, 都是我主的奴仆了. ”

44:17 But he said, “Far be it from me to do this! The man in whose hand the cup was found, he will become my slave. But as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
约瑟说: “我绝不能这样作. 在谁的手里搜出杯来, 谁就要作我的奴仆; 你们其余的人, 可以平平安安地上你们父亲那里去. ”

44:18 But Judah drew near to him and said, “Please my lord, let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and let not your anger burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
犹大走近约瑟身边, 说: “我主啊, 求你容许仆人说一句话给我主听, 请不要向仆人发烈怒, 因为你好像法老一样.

44:19 My lord had asked his servants, saying, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
我主曾经问仆人们说: ‘你们还有父亲或其他兄弟没有? ’

44:20 And we said to my lord, ‘We have an aged father, and a younger brother, the child of his old age, and his brother died, and he alone remains from his mother, and his father loves him.’
我们曾经回答我主: ‘我们还有年老的父亲和最小的弟弟, 是他年老时所生的. 他的哥哥死了, 他母亲只剩下他一个孩子, 他父亲非常爱他. ’

44:21 Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me that I may set my eyes upon him.’
你就对仆人们说: ‘把他带下来到我这里, 我要亲眼看看他. ’

44:22 Then we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; if he should leave his father, then he would die.’
我们对我主说: ‘那孩子是不能离开他父亲的; 如果离开了, 他父亲必定死. ’

44:23 Then you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not again see my face.’
你对仆人们说: ‘如果你们最小的弟弟不与你们一同下来, 你们就不得见我的面. ’

44:24 And it happened that we went up to your servant, my father, and told him the words of my lord.
于是, 我们上到你仆人我们的父亲那里, 就把我主的话告诉了他.

44:25 And when our father said, ‘Buy a little food for us,’
后来我们的父亲说: ‘你们再去替我们买些粮食回来吧. ’

44:26 then we said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we shall go down. For we will not be able to see the face of the man unless our youngest brother is with us.’
我们就说: ‘我们不能下去, 如果有我们最小的弟弟与我们同去, 我们就下去; 因为我们最小的弟弟不与我们同去, 我们就不得见那人的面. ’

44:27 Then your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You yourselves know that my wife bore two sons to me.
你仆人我的父亲对我们说: ‘你们知道我的妻子只给我生了两个儿子.

44:28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he must have been torn to pieces,” and I have never seen him since.
一个已经离开我去了, 我想他必定是被野兽撕碎了; 直到现在, 我也没有见过他.

44:29 And if you take this one also from me, and he encounters harm, you will bring down my gray head in sorrow to Sheol.’
现在你们又要把这个从我面前带去, 如果他遇到不幸, 你们就使我这个白发老人, 悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了. ’

44:30 So now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—now his life is bound up with his life—
我父亲的命与这孩子的命, 是相连在一起的. 现在我回到你仆人我的父亲那里, 如果没有孩子与我们在一起,

44:31 it shall happen that when he sees that the boy is gone, he will die. And your servants will bring down the gray head of your servant, our father, to Sheol with sorrow.
他一见没有孩子, 就必定死; 这样, 你仆人们就使你仆人我们的父亲, 这个白发老人, 愁愁苦苦地下阴间去了.

44:32 For your servant is pledged as surety for the boy by my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I shall be culpable to my father forever.
因为仆人曾经向父亲担保这孩子的安全, 说: ‘如果我不把他带回来交还给你, 我就在父亲面前终生承担这罪. ’

44:33 So then, please let your servant remain in place of the boy as a slave to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
现在求你容许仆人留下, 代替这孩子作我主的奴仆, 让这孩子与他的哥哥们一同上去.

44:34 For how can I go up to my father if the boy is not with me? I do not want to see the misery which will find my father.”
因为如果孩子没有与我同去, 我怎能上去见我的父亲呢? 恐怕我会看见灾祸临到我父亲身上. ”

Genesis - Chapter 45

45:1 Then Joseph was not able to control himself before all who were standing by him. And he cried out, “Make every man go out from me!” So no one stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
约瑟在所有侍立在他左右的人面前, 不能自制, 就喊叫说: “叫各人都离开我出去. ”这样, 约瑟向他的兄弟们表白自己身分的时候, 没有别人在场.

45:2 And he wept loudly, so that the Egyptians heard it and the household of Pharaoh heard it.
于是他放声大哭, 埃及人听到了; 法老一家也听闻这事.

45:3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” And his brothers were unable to answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.
约瑟对他的兄弟们说: “我就是约瑟, 我的父亲还在吗? ”他的兄弟们不能回答他, 因为他们在约瑟面前都非常惊惶.

45:4 So Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they drew near. And he said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
约瑟对他的兄弟们说: “请你们上前来. ”他们就上前去. 他说: “我就是被你们卖到埃及的弟弟约瑟.

45:5 So now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me as deliverance before you.
现在你们不要因为把我卖到这里来, 而自忧自责. 这原是神差派我在你们以先来这里, 为要保全性命.

45:6 For these two years the famine has been in the midst of the land, but there will be five more years where there is no plowing or harvest.
现在这地的饥荒已经有两年了, 还有五年不能耕种, 也没有收成.

45:7 And God sent me before you all to preserve for you a remnant in the land and to keep alive among you many survivors.
神差派我在你们以先来这里, 为要给你们在地上留下余种, 大大施行拯救, 保全你们的性命.

45:8 So now, you yourselves did not send me here, but God put me here as father to Pharaoh and as master of all his household, and a ruler over all the land of Egypt.
这样看来, 差派我到这里来的, 不是你们, 而是神. 他立我作法老之父, 作他全家之主, 又作全埃及地的首相.

45:9 Hurry, and go up to my father and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me and do not delay.
你们要赶快上到我父亲那里去, 对他说: ‘你的儿子约瑟这样说: 神立我作了全埃及的主; 请你下到我这里来, 不要耽延.

45:10 You shall settle in the land of Goshen so that you will be near me, you and your children and your grandchildren, and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.
你和你的众儿孙,牛羊, 以及你一切所有的, 都可以住在歌珊地, 与我相近.

45:11 And I will provide for you there, because there are still five years of famine—lest you and your household and all that you have become destitute.’
我要在那里供养你, 因为还有五年的饥荒, 免得你和你的家人, 以及你一切所有的, 都陷入穷困里. ’

45:12 Now behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is I who am speaking to you.
看哪, 你们和我弟弟便雅悯都亲眼看见, 是我亲口对你们说话.

45:13 And you must tell my father of all my honor in Egypt and all that you have seen. Now hurry and bring my father here.”
你们也要把我在埃及的一切尊荣, 和你们所看见的一切, 都告诉我的父亲, 又要赶快把我的父亲接到这里来. ”

45:14 Then he fell upon the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
于是, 约瑟伏在他弟弟便雅悯的颈项上, 哭起来了; 便雅悯也伏在约瑟的颈项上哭.

45:15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them. And afterward his brothers spoke with him.
他又与众兄弟亲嘴, 拥抱着他们哭. 然后, 他的兄弟们就跟他说话.

45:16 Then the report was heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” And it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
消息传到法老的家里, 说: “约瑟的兄弟们来了. ”法老和他的臣仆都很高兴.

45:17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers: ‘Do this—load your donkeys and go back to the land of Canaan,
法老对约瑟说: “你要对你的兄弟们说: ‘你们要这样作: 使你们的牲口载满货物, 起程到迦南地去,

45:18 and take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.’
把你们的父亲和家人都接到我这里来; 我要把埃及地美好的产物赐给你们, 你们也可以吃这地肥美的食物. ’

45:19 And you Joseph, are commanded to say this: ‘Do this! Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives, and bring your father and come!
现在我再吩咐你对他们说: ‘你们要这样作: 从埃及地带些车辆回去, 用来接你们的孩子和妻子, 并且把你们的父亲接来.

45:20 Do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ ”
不要顾惜你们的家具, 因为埃及全地美好的产物都是你们的. ’”

45:21 And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them wagons at the word of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
以色列的儿子们就照样作了. 约瑟照着法老所吩咐的, 给了他们一些车辆和路上用的食物.

45:22 To each and to all of them he gave sets of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five sets of clothing.
又给了他们各人一套新衣服, 但是给便雅悯三千四百二十克银子和五套衣服.

45:23 And to his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys carrying the best of Egypt, and ten donkeys carrying grain and food and provisions for his father for the journey.
约瑟送去给他父亲的, 有公驴十头, 载着埃及美好的产物, 以及母驴十头, 载着五谷,饼和给他父亲在路上用的食物.

45:24 Then he sent his brothers away, and when they departed he said to them, “Do not be agitated on the journey.”
于是, 约瑟打发他的兄弟们回去, 他们走的时候, 约瑟对他们说: “你们在路上不要争吵. ”

45:25 So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
他们离开埃及, 上到迦南地他们父亲雅各那里去,

45:26 And they spoke to him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart went numb, because he did not believe him.
告诉他, 说: “约瑟还在, 并且作了埃及全地的首相. ”雅各的心冷淡麻木, 因为他不相信他们.

45:27 Then they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them. And when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, then the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
他们就把约瑟对他们所说的一切话, 都告诉了他. 他们的父亲雅各看见了约瑟派来接他的车辆, 心才苏醒过来.

45:28 And Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
以色列说: “够了! 约瑟我的儿子还在; 在我还没有死以前, 我要去看看他. ”

神说: “我是神, 就是你父亲的神; 你不要怕下埃及去, 因为我必使你在那里成为大国.

Genesis - Chapter 47

47:1 So Joseph went and reported to Pharaoh. And he said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and their herds, and all that they have, have come from the land of Canaan. Now they are here in the land of Goshen.”
约瑟进去禀告法老, 说: “我的父亲和兄弟们, 带着他们的牛羊和他们所有的一切, 都从迦南地来了, 现在就在歌珊地. ”

47:2 And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.
约瑟从他所有的兄弟当中, 挑选了五个人, 把他们带到法老面前.

47:3 And Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are keepers of sheep, both we and also our ancestors.”
法老问约瑟的兄弟们说: “你们是作什么的? ”他们回答法老: “仆人们是牧羊人, 我们和我们的祖先都是一样. ”

47:4 And they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servant’s flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
他们又对法老说: “我们来是要在这地寄居, 因为迦南地的饥荒严重, 你仆人们的羊群没有草吃, 所以, 现在求你容许你仆人住在歌珊地. ”

47:5 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
法老对约瑟说: “你的父亲和兄弟们到你这里来了;

47:6 The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. Let them live in the land of Goshen, and if you know there is among them men of ability, then appoint them overseers of my own livestock.”
埃及地都在你面前, 你只管叫你的父亲和兄弟们住在这地最好的地方, 他们可以住在歌珊地. 你如果知道他们中间有能干的人, 可以派他们看管我的牲畜. ”

47:7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
约瑟把他父亲雅各带到法老面前, 雅各就给法老祝福.

47:8 Then Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
法老问雅各: “你有多大年纪了? ”

47:9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty years. Few and hard have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the lives of my ancestors in the days of their sojourning.”
雅各回答法老: “我寄居在世的年日是一百三十岁. 我一生的年日又少又苦, 不及我祖先寄居在世的年日. ”

47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and he went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
雅各又给法老祝福, 然后离开法老出去了.

47:11 And Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and he gave them property in the land of Egypt in the best part of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had instructed.
约瑟照着法老的吩咐安置他的父亲和兄弟们, 把兰塞地, 就是埃及地最好的地方, 给他们作产业.

47:12 And Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all the household of his father with food, according to the number of their children.
约瑟照着孩子的数目, 用粮食供养他的父亲,兄弟们, 以及父亲的家人.

47:13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe. And the land of Egypt languished, with the land of Canaan, on account of the famine.
那时, 遍地都没有粮食, 因为饥荒非常严重. 埃及地和迦南地的人, 因为饥荒的缘故都饿昏了.

47:14 And Joseph collected all the money found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain that they were buying. And Joseph brought the money into the house of Pharaoh.
约瑟收集了埃及地和迦南地所有的银子, 就是众人买粮的银子; 约瑟就把那些银子交到法老的王宫去.

47:15 And when the money was spent in the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan, all of Egypt came to Joseph, saying, “Give us food! Why should we die before you? For the money is used up.”
埃及地和迦南地的银子都用尽了, 埃及众人就来到约瑟那里, 说: “银子已用完了. 求你给我们粮食吧, 我们为什么要饿死在你面前呢? ”

47:16 And Joseph said, “Give your livestock and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock if your money is used up.”
约瑟回答: “如果银子用完了, 可以把你们的牲畜给我, 我就把粮食给你们, 交换你们的牲畜. ”

47:17 So they brought their herds to Joseph, and Joseph gave food to them in exchange for horses, their flocks, and their cattle and donkeys. And he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
于是, 他们把牲畜带到约瑟那里, 约瑟就把粮食给他们, 交换他们的马匹,羊群,牛群和驴. 那一年, 约瑟就用粮食交换他们所有的牲畜, 来养活他们.

47:18 When that year ended, they came to him in the following year and said to him, “We cannot hide from my lord that our money and livestock belong to my lord. Nothing remains before my lord except our bodies and our land.
那一年过后, 第二年他们又来到约瑟那里, 对他说: “我们不向我主隐瞒, 我们的银子都用尽了, 牲畜也归了我主; 在我主面前, 除了我们的身体和田地以外, 什么也没有剩下了.

47:19 Why should we die in front of you, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, then we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Then give us seed and we shall live and not die, and the land will not become desolate.”
为什么我们和我们的田地要在你面前消灭呢? 求你用粮食买我们和我们的田地, 我们和田地就必为法老效劳了. 又求你给我们谷种, 使我们可以活着, 不至死亡, 田地也不至荒芜. ”

47:20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for each Egyptian sold his field, for the famine was severe upon them. And the land became Pharaoh’s.
于是, 约瑟为法老买了埃及所有的田地, 因为埃及人遭遇了严重的饥荒, 各人都卖了自己的田地. 这样, 那地就都归法老所有.

47:21 As for the people, he transferred them to the cities, from one end of the territory of Egypt to the other.
至于人民, 约瑟把他们迁到城市里去(“约瑟把他们迁到城市里去”有古卷及古译本作“使他们成了奴仆”), 从埃及境内的一端, 直到另一端.

47:22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for there was an allotment for the priests from Pharaoh, and they lived on the allotment that Pharaoh gave to them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
只有祭司的田地, 约瑟没有买, 因为祭司有从法老所得的粮饷; 他们可以吃法老所给的粮饷, 所以没有卖自己的田地.

47:23 And Joseph said to the people, “Look, I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you so you can sow the land.
约瑟对人民说: “看哪, 我今日为法老买了你们和你们的田地. 这里有谷种给你们, 你们可以种地.

47:24 And it shall happen that at the harvest, you must give a fifth to Pharaoh and four-fifths shall be yours, as seed for the field and for your food and for those who are in your households, and as food for your little ones.”
到了收割的时候, 你们要把五分之一给法老, 其余四分可以归你们自己, 作田里的种子, 又作你们以及你们家人和孩子的食物. ”

47:25 And they said, “You have saved our lives. If we have found favor in the eyes of my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
他们说: “你救了我们; 愿我们在我主面前得蒙喜悦, 我们就作法老的奴仆. ”

47:26 So Joseph made it a statute unto this day concerning the land of Egypt: one fifth to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not belong to Pharaoh.
于是, 约瑟为埃及的田地立了一个法例, 直到今日还有效, 就是五分之一归给法老; 只有祭司的田地不归给法老.

47:27 So Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired possessions in it and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
以色列人住在埃及国的歌珊地, 他们在那里置业繁殖, 人数非常众多.

47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. And the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred and forty-seven years.
雅各在埃及地住了十七年; 他一生的寿数是一百四十七岁.

47:29 When the time of Israel’s death drew near, he called to his son, to Joseph. And he said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, that you might vow to deal kindly and faithfully with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,
以色列的死期快到了, 就把他儿子约瑟叫了来, 对他说: “如果我在你面前蒙你喜悦, 请你把手放在我的大腿底下起誓, 要以慈爱和诚实对待我, 不要把我埋葬在埃及.

47:30 but let me lie with my ancestors. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial site.” And he said, “I will do according to your word.”
我与我的祖先同睡的时候, 你要把我从埃及带出去, 埋葬在他们的墓地里. ”约瑟说: “我必照着你的话去作. ”

47:31 Then he said, “Swear to me.” And he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.
雅各说: “你要向我起誓. ”约瑟就向他起了誓, 于是以色列靠着床头(“靠着床头”有古译本作“倚着杖头”﹝参来 11:21﹞)敬拜神.

Genesis - Chapter 48

48:1 And it happened that after these things, it was said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is ill.” And he took his two sons with him, Ephraim and Manasseh.
这些事以后, 有人对约瑟说: “你的父亲病了. ”约瑟就带着两个儿子玛拿西和以法莲同去.

48:2 And it was told to Jacob, “Behold, your son Joseph has come to you.” Then Israel strengthened himself and he sat up in the bed.
有人告诉雅各, 说: “你的儿子约瑟到你这里来了. ”以色列就勉强在床上坐起来.

雅各对约瑟说: “全能的神曾经在迦南地的路斯向我显现, 赐福给我,

48:4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and make you numerous, and will make you a company of nations. And I will give this land to your offspring after you as an everlasting possession.’
对我说: ‘我必使你繁殖增多, 成为一大族; 我必把这地赐给你的后裔, 作永远的产业. ’

48:5 And now, your two sons who were born to you in the land of Egypt before my coming to you in Egypt, are mine. Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine as Reuben and Simeon are.
我未到埃及见你之前, 你在埃及地生了两个儿子, 现在他们算是我的; 以法莲和玛拿西是我的, 好像流本和西缅是我的一样.

48:6 And your children whom you father after them shall be yours. By the name of their brothers they shall be called, with respect to their inheritance.
你在他们以后所生的子孙, 都是你的; 不过, 在继承产业的事上, 他们可以归在他们哥哥的名下.

48:7 As for me, when I came to Paddan-Aram Rachel died to my sorrow in the land of Canaan on the way when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
至于我, 我从巴旦回来的时候, 在迦南地的路上, 那里到以法他还有一段路程, 拉结就死在我身边; 我在那里把她埋葬在以法他的路旁. 以法他就是伯利恒. ”

48:8 When Israel saw the sons of Joseph he said, “Who are these?”
以色列看见约瑟的儿子, 就问: “他们是谁? ”

48:9 Then Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons whom God has given me here.” And he said, “Please bring them to me that I may bless them.”
约瑟回答父亲: “他们是我的儿子, 是神在这里赐给我的. ”以色列说: “把他们领到我这里来, 我要给他们祝福. ”

48:10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim on account of old age; he was not able to see. So he brought them near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
以色列因为年老, 眼睛昏花, 看不清楚. 约瑟领他们到他跟前去, 他就与他们亲嘴, 拥抱他们.

48:11 And Israel said to Joseph, “I did not expect to see your face and behold, God has also shown me your offspring.”
以色列对约瑟说: “我想不到可以看见你的面, 现在神竟使我见到你的后裔. ”

48:12 Then Joseph removed them from his knees and bowed down with his face to the ground.
约瑟把两个儿子从以色列膝上抱下来, 自己脸伏在地下拜.

48:13 And Joseph took the two of them, Ephraim at his right to the left of Israel, and Manasseh at his left to the right of Israel. And he brought them near to him.
约瑟领着他们两个到以色列的跟前, 以法莲在约瑟的右边对着以色列的左边; 玛拿西在约瑟的左边对着以色列的右边.

48:14 And Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim (now he was the younger), and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
但是, 以色列两手交叉, 右手按在次子以法莲的头上, 左手按在长子玛拿西的头上.

48:15 And he blessed Joseph and said, “The God before whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, walked, The God who shepherded me all my life unto this day,
要祝福约瑟, 说: “愿我祖亚伯拉罕和以撒所侍候的神, 一生牧养我直到今日的神,

48:16 The angel who redeemed me from all evil, may he bless the boys. And through them let my name be perpetuated, and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac. And let them multiply into many in the midst of the earth.
那救我脱离一切祸患的使者, 赐福给这两个童子. 愿我的名, 我祖亚伯拉罕和以撒的名, 借着他们得以流传; 愿他们在地上生养众多. ”

48:17 When Joseph saw that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, he was displeased. And he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from the head of Ephraim over to the head of Manasseh.
约瑟见他父亲把右手按在以法莲的头上, 心里就不高兴, 于是拿住他父亲的手, 要从以法莲的头上移到玛拿西的头上.

48:18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father; because this one is the firstborn. Put your right hand upon his head.”
约瑟对他父亲说: “爸爸啊, 不是这样, 这个才是长子, 请你把右手按在他的头上. ”

48:19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son; I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great, but his younger brother shall be greater than him, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations.”
他父亲却不肯, 说: “我知道, 我儿啊, 我知道, 他也要成为一族, 也要强大; 只是他弟弟比他还要强大, 他的后裔要成为多族. ”

48:20 So he blessed them that day, saying, Through you Israel shall pronounce blessing, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and like Manasseh.’ ” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
那一天, 以色列给他们祝福, 说: “以色列人要用你的名祝福人, 说: ‘愿神使你像以法莲和玛拿西一样. ’”于是, 以色列立以法莲在玛拿西之上.

48:21 And Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your ancestors.
以色列又对约瑟说: “看哪, 我快要死了, 但是神必与你们同在, 必领你们回到你们祖先的土地去.

48:22 And I have given to you one slope of land rather than your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorites by my sword and with my bow.”
现在我把从前用刀和弓, 从亚摩利人手中夺过来的那块山地赐给你, 使你比众兄弟多得一份. ”

这事足足费了四十天, 因为用香料包殓尸体是需要这样长的时间. 埃及人为他哀哭了七十天.

50:4 When the days of his weeping had passed, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh, saying,
为他哀哭的日子过了, 约瑟就对法老家里的人说: “我若在你们面前得蒙喜悦, 请你们代我禀告法老说:

50:5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am about to die. In the tomb that I have hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan—there you must bury me.” So then, please let me go up and let me bury my father; then I will return.’ ”
‘我父亲曾经叫我起誓, 说: “看哪, 我快要死了; 你要把我埋葬在迦南地, 在我为自己所掘的坟墓里. ”现在求你让我上去, 埋葬我的父亲, 之后我必定回来. ’”

50:6 Then Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father as he made you swear.”
法老说: “你可以上去, 照着你父亲叫你起的誓, 把他埋葬. ”

50:7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. And all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, went up with him,
于是, 约瑟上去埋葬他的父亲. 与他一同上去的, 有法老所有的臣仆, 法老家中的长老, 和埃及地所有的长老,

50:8 with all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and the household of his father. They left only their little children and their flocks and their herds in the land of Goshen.
还有约瑟的全家, 他的兄弟们和他父亲的家人; 他们把孩子和牛羊留在歌珊地.

50:9 And there also went up with him chariots and horsemen. The company was very great.
又有车辆和马兵与他一同上去, 成了一大队行列.

50:10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which was beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful wailing. And he made a mourning ceremony for his father seven days.
他们到了约旦河东岸的亚达禾场, 就在那里大大地哀悼痛哭. 约瑟为他父亲举哀七天.

50:11 And when the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, saw the mourning ceremony at the threshing floor of Atad they said, “This is a severe mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel-Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
住在那地的迦南人看见了亚达禾场的哀悼, 就说: “这是埃及人一场非常伤痛的哀悼. ”因此, 在约旦河东岸的那地方名叫亚伯．麦西.

50:12 Thus his sons did to him just as he had instructed them.
雅各的众子就照着父亲嘱咐他们的去作,

50:13 And his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which field Abraham had bought as a burial site from Ephron the Hittite before Mamre.
把雅各运到迦南地, 葬在麦比拉田间的洞里. 那地方在幔利的前面, 是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买下来作坟地的.

50:14 And after burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all who had gone up with him to bury his father.
约瑟埋葬了他父亲以后, 就和他的众兄弟, 以及所有与他一同上去埋葬他父亲的人都回埃及去了.

50:15 And when the brothers of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hold a grudge against us and pay us back dearly for all the evil that we did to him.”
约瑟的哥哥们看见父亲死了, 就说: “或者约瑟仍然会怀恨我们, 要报复我们从前向他所作的一切恶事. ”

50:16 So they sent word to Joseph saying, “Your father commanded us before his death, saying,
他们就打发人到约瑟那里, 说: “你父亲未死以前曾经嘱咐说:

50:17 “Thus you must say to Joseph, ‘O, please now forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did evil to you.’ So now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
‘你们要对约瑟这样说: 从前你的哥哥们恶待你, 求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶. 现在求你饶恕你父亲神之仆人的过犯. ’”约瑟听见这话就哭了.

50:18 Then his brothers went also and fell before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
他的哥哥们也亲自来了, 俯伏在他面前, 说: “看哪, 我们是你的奴仆. ”

50:19 Then Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
约瑟对他们说: “你们不要害怕, 我怎能代替神呢?

50:20 As for you, you planned evil against me, but God planned it for good, in order to do this—to keep many people alive—as it is today.
从前你们有意要害我, 但神有美好的意思在其中, 为要成就今日的光景, 使许多人的性命得以保全.

50:21 So then, do not be afraid. I myself will provide for you and your little ones. And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
现在你们不要害怕, 我必供养你们和你们的孩子. ”于是约瑟用仁慈的话安慰他们.

50:22 So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and the house of his father. And Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
约瑟和他父亲的家人, 都住在埃及. 约瑟活了一百一十岁.

50:23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. Moreover, the children of Makir, son of Manasseh, were born on the knees of Joseph.
约瑟见到以法莲的第三代子孙; 玛拿西的儿子玛吉的众子, 也归在约瑟的膝下.

50:24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will certainly visit you and bring you up from this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
约瑟对他的兄弟们说: “我快要死了, 但神必定眷顾你们, 领你们从这地上到他起誓应许给亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各之地去. ”

50:25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall bring up my bones from here.”
约瑟又叫以色列的子孙起誓, 说: “神必定眷顾你们, 那时你们要把我的骸骨从这里带上去应许之地. ”

50:26 So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
约瑟死了, 享寿一百一十岁. 人用香料把他包殓了, 放在棺材里, 停在埃及.

Exodus (出埃及记)

Exodus - Chapter 1

1:1 And these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt; with Jacob, they each came with his family:
以色列的众子, 各人带着家眷和雅各一同来到埃及. 他们的名字是:

1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
流本,西缅,利未,犹大,

1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
以萨迦,西布伦,便雅悯,

1:4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
但,拿弗他利,迦得,亚设.

1:5 And all those who descended from Jacob were seventy individuals, and Joseph was in Egypt.
他们全是雅各所生的, 共有七十人; 那时约瑟已经在埃及了.

1:6 And Joseph died and all of his brothers and all of that generation.
后来, 约瑟和他所有的兄弟, 以及那一代的人都死了.

1:7 And the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied and were many and were very, very numerous, and the land was filled with them.
以色列人生养繁殖众多, 人数增加, 极其强盛, 遍满了那地.

1:8 And a new king rose over Egypt who did not know Joseph.
那时, 有一位不认识约瑟的新王兴起来, 统治埃及.

1:9 And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the Israelites are greater and more numerous than us.
他对自己的人民说: “看哪, 以色列民比我们众多强盛.

1:10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them, lest they become many, and when war happens, they also will join our enemies and will fight against us and go up from the land.”
来吧, 我们要用巧计对付他们, 恐怕他们增多起来, 一旦发生战争, 他们就与我们的仇敌联合, 攻击我们, 并且离开这地. ”

1:11 And they appointed commanders of forced labor over them in order to oppress them with their forced labor, and they built storage cities for Pharaoh—Pithom and Rameses.
于是, 他们指派督工管辖他们, 加重他们的重担苦害他们, 他们为法老建造两座贮货城, 就是比东和兰塞.

1:12 And as he oppressed them, so they became many, and so they spread out, and the Egyptians were afraid because of the presence of the Israelites.
但是, 埃及人越苦害他们, 他们就越发增多, 越发繁殖. 埃及人就惧怕以色列人.

1:13 And the Egyptians ruthlessly compelled the Israelites to work.
于是, 埃及人严严地使以色列人作苦工.

1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard work with mortar and with bricks and with all sorts of work in the field—with all their work in which they ruthlessly enslaved them.
埃及人使他们因作苦工而觉得命苦, 他们要和泥,做砖,作田间各样的工; 这一切苦工, 埃及人都严严地驱使以色列人去作.

1:15 And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives—of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the second was Puah—
埃及王吩咐两个希伯来接生妇, 一个名叫施弗拉, 一个名叫普阿,

1:16 and he said, “When you help the Hebrews give birth, you will look upon the pairs of testicles; if he is a son, you will put him to death, and if she is a daughter, she will live.”
说: “你们给希伯来妇人接生的时候, 要看着她们临盆; 若是男孩, 你们要杀死他; 若是女孩, 她就可以活着. ”

1:17 But the midwives feared God, and they did not do as the king of Egypt had said to them. They let the boys live.
但是, 接生妇却敬畏神, 不照着埃及王吩咐她们的去作, 竟让男孩活着.

1:18 And the king of Egypt summoned the midwives, and he said to them, “Why have you done this thing and let the boys live?”
于是, 埃及王把接生妇叫了来, 对她们说: “你们为什么作这事, 让男孩活着呢? ”

1:19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, because they are vigorous; before the midwife comes to them, they have given birth.”
接生妇回答法老: “希伯来妇人与埃及妇人不同; 她们很有活力, 接生妇还没有来到, 她们已经生产了. ”

1:20 And God did the midwives good, and the Israelite people became many and were very numerous.
神恩待接生妇; 以色列民增多起来, 而且非常强盛.

1:21 And so because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
接生妇因为敬畏神, 神就为她们建立家室.

1:22 And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you will throw into the Nile, and every daughter you will let live.”
法老吩咐他的众民说: “凡是希伯来人所生的男孩, 你们都要把他投在河里; 凡是女孩, 就让她活着. ”

Exodus - Chapter 2

2:1 And a man from the family of Levi went, and he took a descendent of Levi.
有一个利未家的人去娶了一个利未女子为妻.

2:2 And the woman conceived, and she gave birth to a son, and she saw him, that he was a fine baby, and she hid him three months.
那女人怀孕, 生了一个儿子; 见他俊美, 就把他藏了三个月.

2:3 But when she could no longer hide him, she got a papyrus basket for him, and she coated it with tar and with pitch, and she placed the boy in it, and she placed it among the reeds on the bank of the Nile.
直到她不能把他再藏了, 就拿一个蒲草箱来, 涂上沥青和石漆; 把孩子放在里面, 把箱子放在河边的芦苇丛中.

2:4 And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
孩子的姊姊远远地站着, 要知道孩子究竟怎样.

2:5 And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to wash at the Nile, while her maidservants were walking alongside the Nile, and she saw the basket in the midst of the reeds, and she sent her slave woman for it and took it
那时, 法老的女儿下到河边去洗澡; 她的使女们在河边行走; 她看见了在芦苇中的箱子, 就打发自己的使女去把箱子拿过来.

2:6 and opened it and saw him—the boy—and it was a lad weeping, and she had compassion for him and said, “This must be from the boys of the Hebrews.”
她打开了, 就看见那孩子; 看哪, 孩子哭了, 她就怜悯他, 说: “这是希伯来人的一个孩子. ”

2:7 And his sister said to the daughter of Pharaoh, “Shall I go and call for you a woman from the Hebrews who is nursing so that she will nurse the boy for you?”
孩子的姊姊对法老的女儿说: “我去从希伯来妇人中给你请一个奶妈来, 为你乳养这个孩子可以吗? ”

2:8 And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, “Go.” And the girl went, and she called the mother of the boy.
法老的女儿回答: “你去吧. ”童女就去把孩子的母亲请了来.

2:9 And the daughter of Pharaoh said, “Take this boy and nurse him for me, and I myself will give you wages, and the woman took the boy, and she nursed him.
法老的女儿对她说: “你把这孩子抱去, 替我乳养他, 我必给你工钱. ”妇人就抱了孩子去乳养他.

2:10 And the boy grew, and she brought him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he became her son, and she called his name Moses, and she said, “Because I drew him out from the water.”
孩子长大了, 妇人把他带到法老的女儿那里, 他就作了法老女儿的儿子. 她给孩子起名叫摩西, 说: “因为我把他从水里拉出来. ”

2:11 And then in those days when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers, and he saw their forced labor, and he saw an Egyptian man striking a Hebrew man, one of his brothers.
过了些日子, 摩西长大了, 有一次, 他出去到他的同胞那里去, 看见他们的重担, 又看见一个埃及人打他的一个同胞希伯来人.

2:12 And he turned here and there, and he saw no one, and he struck the Egyptian, and he hid him in the sand.
摩西左右观望, 见没有人, 就把那埃及人击杀了, 埋藏在沙土里.

2:13 And he went out on the second day, and there were two Hebrew men fighting, and he said to the guilty one, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
第二天他又出去, 看见两个希伯来人彼此争斗着, 就对那欺负人的说: “你为什么打你同族的人呢? ”

2:14 And he said, “Who appointed you as a commander and a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?” And Moses was afraid, and he said, “Surely the matter has become known.”
那人回答: “谁立了你作我们的领袖和审判官呢? 难道你想杀我, 好像杀那个埃及人一样吗? ”摩西就惧怕起来, 心里想: “这事必定给人知道了! ”

2:15 And Pharaoh heard this matter, and he sought to kill Moses, and Moses fled from Pharaoh, and he lived in the land of Midian, and he lived at a certain well.
法老听见这事, 就设法要杀摩西; 摩西躲避法老, 就往米甸地去居住; 有一天他坐在井旁.

2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
米甸的祭司有七个女儿, 她们来打水, 打满了水槽, 要给父亲的羊群喝.

2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and came to their rescue and watered their flock.
有些牧人来了, 把她们赶走; 摩西却起来, 救了她们, 也给她们的羊群喝水.

2:18 And they came to Reuel, their father, and he said, “Why have you come so quickly today?”
她们回到父亲流珥那里, 父亲问: “今天你们为什么赶着回来呢? ”

2:19 And they said, “An Egyptian man delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
她们说: “有一个埃及人救我们脱离了牧羊人的手, 而且还为我们打水给羊群喝. ”

2:20 And he said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why then have you left the man? Call him so that he can eat some food.”
父亲对众女儿说: “他在哪里? 你们为什么撇下那人呢? 去请他来吃饭. ”

2:21 And Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
摩西乐意和那人同住; 那人把自己的女儿西坡拉给了摩西作妻子.

2:22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom because he said, “I am an alien in a foreign land.”
西坡拉生了一个儿子, 摩西给他起名叫革舜, 因为他说: “我在异地作了客旅. ”

2:23 And then during those many days, the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites groaned because of the work, and they cried out, and their cry for help because of the work went up to God.
过了很久, 埃及王死了. 以色列人在捆锁中叹息, 他们就呼求, 在捆锁中的呼求达到神那里.

2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob,
神听见他们的呼声, 就记念他与亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各所立的约.

2:25 and God saw the Israelites, and God took notice.
神看顾以色列人, 也关注他们.

Exodus - Chapter 3

3:1 And Moses was a shepherd with the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the west of the desert, and he came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.
那时, 摩西正在牧放他岳父米甸祭司叶忒罗的羊群. 有一次, 他把羊群领到旷野的尽头去, 到了神的山, 就是何烈山.

3:2 And the angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush, and he looked, and there was the bush burning with fire, but the bush was not being consumed.
耶和华的使者从荆棘丛里的火焰中向摩西显现. 摩西观看, 看见荆棘被火烧着, 却没有烧毁.

3:3 And Moses said, “Let me turn aside and see this great sight. Why does the bush not burn up?”
摩西说: “我要到那边去, 看看这大异象, 这荆棘为什么烧不掉? ”

3:4 And Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, and God called to him from the midst of the bush, and he said, “Moses, Moses.” And he said, “Here I am.”
耶和华见摩西要到那边去观看, 神就从荆棘丛里呼叫他, 说: “摩西, 摩西. ”摩西说: “我在这里. ”

3:5 And he said, “You must not come near to here. Take off your sandals from on your feet, because the place on which you are standing, it is holy ground.”
耶和华说: “不可过到这里来; 要把你脚上的鞋脱掉, 因为你所站的地方是圣地. ”

3:6 And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face because he was afraid of looking at God.
又说: “我是你父亲的神,亚伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神. ”摩西因为怕见神, 就把自己的脸蒙住了.

3:7 And Yahweh said, “Surely I have seen the misery of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry of distress because of their oppressors, for I know their sufferings.
耶和华说: “我的子民在埃及所受的痛苦, 我实在看见了; 他们因受督工的辖制所发的呼声, 我也听见了; 他们的痛苦, 我是知道的.

3:8 And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from this land to a good and wide land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
所以我下来, 要救他们脱离埃及人的手, 领他们脱离那地, 到美好宽阔之地, 到流奶与蜜之地, 就是到迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,希未人和耶布斯人的地方.

3:9 And now, look, the cry of distress of the Israelites has come to me, and also I see the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
现在以色列人的呼声已经达到我的面前, 我也看见了埃及人对他们所施的压迫.

3:10 And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and you must bring my people, the Israelites, out from Egypt.”
所以现在你来, 我要派你到法老那里去, 使你可以把我的人民以色列人从埃及领出来. ”

3:11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the Israelites out from Egypt?”
摩西对神说: “我是谁, 竟能到法老那里去, 把以色列人从埃及领出来呢? ”

3:12 And he said, “Because I am with you, and this will be the sign for you that I myself have sent you: When you bring the people out from Egypt, you will serve God on this mountain.”
神回答: “我必与你同在; 你把人民从埃及领出来的时候, 你们要在这山上事奉神; 这就是我派你去的凭据. ”

3:13 But Moses said to God, “Look, if I go to the Israelites and I say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ then what shall I say to them?”
摩西对神说: “我到以色列人那里, 对他们说: ‘你们祖宗的神差遣我到你们这里来’, 他们必问我: ‘他叫什么名字? ’我要对他们说什么呢? ”

3:14 And God said to Moses, “I am that I am.” And he said, “So you must say to the Israelites, ‘I am sent me to you.’ ”
神回答摩西: “我是‘自有永有者’. ”又说: “你要对以色列人这样说: ‘那自有者派我到你们这里来. ’”

3:15 And God said again to Moses, “So you must say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is my remembrance from generation to generation.’
神又对摩西说: “你要对以色列人这样说: ‘耶和华你们祖宗的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神, 差遣我到你们这里来; 这就是我永久的名字, 也是世世代代中我被记念的名字. ’

3:16 Go and gather the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, appeared to me, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, “I have carefully attended to you and what has been done to you in Egypt.”
你去召集以色列的长老, 对他们说: ‘耶和华你们祖宗的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神, 向我显现, 说: “我实在眷顾了你们, 和鉴察了你们在埃及所遭遇的. ”

3:17 And I said, “I will bring you up from the misery of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’
我也曾说: “我要把你们从埃及的痛苦中领出来, 到迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人之地去, 就是到流奶与蜜之地去. ”’

3:18 And they will listen to your voice, and you will go, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you will say to him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews has met with us, and now let us please go on a journey of three days into the desert, and let us sacrifice to Yahweh our God.’
他们必听你的话; 你和以色列的长老要到埃及王那里去, 对他说: ‘耶和华希伯来人的神遇见了我们. 现在求你让我们走三天的路程到旷野去, 好献祭给耶和华我们的神. ’

3:19 But I myself know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless compelled by a strong hand.
我也知道, 如果不施行大能的手, 埃及王决不会让你们走的.

3:20 And I will stretch out my hand, and I will strike Egypt with all of my wonders that I will do in its midst, and afterward he will release you.
因此, 我要伸手, 用我在埃及快要施行的一切异能, 击打埃及; 然后他才会让你们离去.

3:21 And I will give this people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and then when you go, you will not go empty-handed.
我必叫这民在埃及人的眼前蒙恩. 因此你们离去的时候, 就不至于空手而去.

3:22 And a woman will ask from her neighbor and from the woman dwelling as an alien in her house for objects of silver and objects of gold and garments, and you will put them on your sons and on your daughters; and you will plunder Egypt.”
但每个妇女要向她邻居的妇女, 和寄居在她家中的妇女索取银器,金器和衣服, 要给你们的儿女穿戴; 这样, 你们就把埃及人的财物掠夺了. ”

Exodus - Chapter 4

4:1 And Moses answered, and he said, “And if they do not believe me and they do not listen to my voice, but they say, ‘Yahweh did not appear to you?’ ”
摩西回答: “看哪, 他们必不信我, 也不听我的话; 因为他们必说: ‘耶和华并没有向你显现. ’”

4:2 And Yahweh said to him, “What is this in your hand?” And he said, “A staff.”
耶和华问摩西: “那在你手里的是什么? ”他说: “是手杖. ”

4:3 And he said, “Throw it onto the ground.” And he threw it onto the ground, and it became a snake, and Moses fled from it.
耶和华说: “把它丢在地上. ”摩西把它一丢在地上, 它就变了蛇; 摩西就逃跑, 离开了它.

4:4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and grasp it by its tail”—” (And he reached out his hand and grabbed it, and it became a staff in his palm.)—
耶和华对摩西说: “伸出你的手来, 捉住蛇的尾巴. ”摩西就伸出手来, 紧握着它, 它在摩西的掌中又变回了手杖.

4:5 “so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, appeared to you, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”
“这样就使他们相信耶和华他们祖宗的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神曾向你显现了. ”

4:6 And Yahweh said to him again, “Put your hand into the fold of your garment.” And he put his hand into the fold of his garment, and he took it out, and, to his surprise, his hand was afflicted with a skin disease, like snow.
耶和华又再对摩西说: “现在把你的手放进怀里. ”摩西就把手放进怀里; 等他把手抽出来的时候, 手就长满了痲风, 像雪那样白.

4:7 And he said, “Return your hand to the fold of your garment.” And he returned his hand to the fold of his garment, and he took it out from the fold of his garment, and, to his surprise, it was restored like the rest of his body.
耶和华说: “把你的手再放进怀里. ”摩西就把手再放进怀里; 等他把手从怀里抽出来的时候, 手就恢复过来, 像身上别处的肉一样.

4:8 “And if they do not believe you and they will not listen to the voice of the former sign, then they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
耶和华又说: “如果他们不信你, 也不听从头一个神迹的话, 他们必信随后来的神迹.

4:9 And if they also do not believe the second of these signs and they will not listen to your voice, then you must take water from the Nile and pour it onto the dry ground, and the water that you take from the Nile will become blood on the dry ground.”
如果连这两个神迹他们也不信, 也不听你的话, 你就从河里取些水, 倒在旱地上; 你从河里取来的水就必在旱地上变成血. ”

4:10 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Please, Lord, I am not a man of words, neither recently nor in the past nor since your speaking to your servant, because I am heavy of mouth and of tongue.”
摩西对耶和华说: “主啊, 我不是个会说话的人; 以前不是, 自从你对仆人说话以后也不是; 因为我本是拙口笨舌的. ”

4:11 And Yahweh said to him, “Who gave a mouth to humankind, or who makes mute or deaf or sighted or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?
耶和华对他说: “谁造人的口呢? 谁使人口哑,耳聋,眼明,眼瞎呢? 不是我耶和华吗?

4:12 So then go, and I myself will be with your mouth, and I will teach you what you must speak.”
现在去吧, 我必赐你口才, 指教你当说的. ”

4:13 And he said, “Please, Lord, do send anyone else whom you wish to send.”
摩西说: “主啊, 请你差派你愿意差派的人. ”

4:14 And Yahweh was angry with Moses and said, “Is there not Aaron your brother the Levite? I know that he certainly can speak, and also there he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will rejoice in his heart.
耶和华向摩西发怒, 说: “不是有你的哥哥利未人亚伦吗? 我知道他是有口才的; 他现在出来要迎接你. 他看见了你, 心里就快乐.

4:15 And you will speak to him, and you will put words in his mouth, and I myself will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you must do.

他们往日做砖的数量, 你们还是向他们要, 一点也不可减少, 因为他们是懒惰的, 所以他们才呼喊说: ‘让我们去献祭给我们的神. ’

5:9 Let the work be heavier on the men so that they will do it and not pay attention to words of deception.”
你们要把更重的工作加在这些人的身上, 好使他们专心作工, 不听谎言. ”

法老的督工责打他们派定的以色列人的首领, 说: “你们昨天今天为什么没有做完指定要你们做的砖, 像往日一样呢? ”

以色列人的首领就来, 向法老呼求说: “你为什么这样待你的仆人呢?

5:16 Straw is not being given to your servants, but they are saying to us, ‘Make bricks!’ and, look, your servants are being beaten, but it is the fault of your people.”
没有草给你的仆人, 但他们对我们说: ‘你们做砖吧! ’看哪, 你的仆人受了责打, 其实这是你自己人民的错. ”

就对他们说: “愿耶和华鉴察你们, 审判你们, 因为你们使我们的香气在法老眼前和他的臣仆眼前都发臭了, 把刀放在他们的手里来杀我们. ”

5:22 And Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble to this people? Why ever did you send me?
摩西回到耶和华那里, 说: “主啊! 你为什么苦待这人民呢? 为什么差派我呢?

众术士也用他们的巫术照样行, 要生出虱子来, 却不能办到; 所以在人身上和牲畜身上都有虱子.

8:19 And the magicians said to Pharaoh, “It is the finger of God.” But the heart of Pharaoh was hard, and he did not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken.
众术士就对法老说: “这是神的手指头. ”法老却心里刚硬, 不肯听摩西和亚伦, 就像耶和华所说的.

8:20 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Start early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh. Look, he is going out to the water, and you must say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Release my people so that they may serve me.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要清早起来, 站在法老面前; 看哪, 法老到水边来的时候, 你要对他说: ‘耶和华这样说: 你要让我的人民离开这里, 使他们可以事奉我.

8:21 But if you are not about to release my people, look, I am about to send out flies among you and among your servants and among your people and in your houses; and the houses of Egypt will fill up with the flies and also the ground that they are on.
如果你不让我的人民离开这里, 看哪, 我必叫苍蝇落在你和你臣仆, 以及人民的身上, 进到你的宫殿; 埃及人的房屋都必充满苍蝇, 他们所在的地方也是这样.

8:22 But on that day I will distinguish the land of Goshen, where my people are staying, by there not being flies there, so that you will know that I am Yahweh in the midst of the land.
那日, 我必把我人民居住的地方歌珊分别出来, 使那里没有苍蝇, 为要使你知道在全地上只有我是耶和华.

8:23 And I will put a distinction between my people and your people; this sign will be tomorrow.’ ”
我必把我的人民和你的人民分别出来, 明天必有这神迹. ’”

8:24 And Yahweh did so, and a severe swarm of flies came to the house of Pharaoh and the house of his servants and in all the land of Egypt; the land was ruined because of the flies.
耶和华就这样行了; 无数的苍蝇进了法老的宫殿和他臣仆的房屋, 并且遍布埃及全地; 那地就因为苍蝇的缘故毁坏了.

8:25 And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.”
法老把摩西和亚伦召了来, 对他们说: “你们去, 在这地献祭给你们的神吧. ”

8:26 And Moses said, “To do so is not right, because we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God a thing detestable to the Egyptians. Look, if we sacrifice before their eyes the thing detestable to the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
摩西回答: “决不可以这样行, 因为我们要把埃及人看为可憎的祭物献给耶和华我们的神; 如果我们把埃及人看为可憎的祭物在他们眼前献上, 难道他们不拿石头打死我们吗?

8:27 We will go a journey of three days into the desert, and we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God according to what he says to us.”
我们要走三天的路程进到旷野, 好照着耶和华吩咐我们的, 向耶和华我们的神献祭. ”

8:28 And Pharaoh said, “I myself will release you, and you will sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert. Only surely you must not go far. Pray for me.”
法老回答: “我必让你们离开这里, 你们可以在旷野献祭给耶和华你们的神, 只是你们不可走得太远; 请你们为我祈祷. ”

8:29 And Moses said, “Look, I am going out from you, and I will pray to Yahweh so that the flies depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only let not Pharaoh again deceive us by not releasing the people to sacrifice to Yahweh.”
摩西说: “看哪, 我要离开你出去, 祈求耶和华, 使苍蝇明天可以离开法老和法老的臣仆, 以及法老的人民, 只是不可再行欺骗, 不让以色列人离开这里去献祭给耶和华. ”

8:30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to Yahweh.
于是, 摩西从法老那里出来, 去祈求耶和华.

8:31 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses and removed the flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one was left.
耶和华就照着摩西的话行了, 使苍蝇离开了法老和他的臣仆, 以及他的人民, 连一只也没有留下.

8:32 And Pharaoh made his heart insensitive also this time, and he did not release the people.
可是, 这一次法老还是心里刚硬, 不肯让以色列人离开.

Exodus - Chapter 9

9:1 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, “Release my people so that they may serve me.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要到法老那里去, 对他说: ‘耶和华希伯来人的神这样说: “让我的人民离开这里, 使他们可以事奉我. ”

9:2 But if you are refusing to release and you still are keeping hold of them,
如果你拒绝他们离开这里, 仍然强留他们,

9:3 look, the hand of Yahweh is about to be present with a very severe plague on your livestock that are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the cattle, and on the sheep and goats.
看哪, 耶和华的手必用严重的瘟疫加在你田间的牲畜身上, 加在马,驴,骆驼,牛群,羊群身上.

9:4 But Yahweh will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and not a thing will die from all that belongs to the Israelites.’ ”
耶和华必把以色列的牲畜和埃及人的牲畜分别出来; 所有属于以色列人的, 一只也不死去. ’”

9:5 And Yahweh set an appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow Yahweh will do this thing in the land.”
耶和华就定了时候, 说: “明天耶和华必在此地行这事. ”

9:6 And Yahweh did this thing the next day; all the livestock of Egypt died, but from the livestock of the Israelites not one died.
第二天, 耶和华就行了这事, 埃及人全部的牲畜都死了; 可是属于以色列人的牲畜, 一只也没有死去.

9:7 And Pharaoh sent to check, and it turned out not even one from the livestock of Israel had died, but Pharaoh’s heart was insensitive, and he did not release the people.
法老派人去看, 果然看见属于以色列人的牲畜, 连一只也没有死去. 法老的心还是刚硬, 不肯让以色列人离开.

9:8 And Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take for yourselves full handfuls of soot from a smelting furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
耶和华对摩西和亚伦说: “你们要两手拿满炉灰, 摩西要在法老眼前把炉灰向天上扬起来.

9:9 And it will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and it will become on humans and on animals a skin sore sprouting blisters in all the land of Egypt.”
这炉灰必在埃及全地变为微尘, 在埃及全地的人和牲畜身上就必生出疹病和脓疮. ”

9:10 And they took the soot of the smelting furnace, and they stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it toward the heavens, and it became skin sores sprouting blisters on humans and on animals.
摩西和亚伦取了炉灰, 站在法老面前; 摩西把炉灰向天上扬起来, 人和牲畜身上就生出了疹病和脓疮.

9:11 And the magicians were not able to stand before Moses because of the skin sores, for the skin sores were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
众术士因为生了疮的缘故, 不能站在摩西的面前; 因为众术士和所有埃及人身上都生了疮.

9:12 And Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not listen to them, as Yahweh had spoken to Moses.
耶和华使法老心里刚硬, 他就不肯听摩西和亚伦的话, 就像耶和华对摩西所说的.

9:13 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Start early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh. Look, he is going out to the water, and you must say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, “Release my people so that they may serve me.
耶和华对摩西说: “你要清早起来, 站在法老面前, 对他说: ‘耶和华希伯来人的神这样说: “让我的人民离开这里, 使他们可以事奉我.

9:14 For at this time I am sending all of my plagues to you personally and among your servants and among your people so that you will know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
因为这一次我要降下我的一切灾祸, 打击你和你的臣仆及人民, 为要使你知道在全地上没有神像我的.

9:15 For now I could have stretched out my hand, and I could have struck you and your people with the plague, and you would have perished from the earth.
如果我现在伸手用瘟疫击打你和你的人民, 你就早已从地上消灭了.

9:16 But for the sake of this I have caused you to stand—for the sake of showing you my strength and in order to proclaim my name in all the earth.
然而我使你存留, 是为了使你看见我的能力, 并且在全地上传讲我的名.

9:17 Still you are behaving haughtily to my people by not releasing them.
你仍然向我的人民自高, 不让他们离开吗?

9:18 Look, about this time tomorrow, I am going to cause very severe hail to rain, the like of which has not been in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.
看哪, 明天大约这个时候, 我必降下极重的冰雹, 在埃及自建国以来, 直到现在, 未曾有过这样的冰雹的.

9:19 And now send word; bring into safety your livestock and all that belongs to you in the field. The hail will come down on every human and animal that is found in the field and not gathered into the house, and they will die.” ’ ”
所以, 你现在要派人去, 把你的牲畜和田间所有属于你的, 都收聚到安全的地方; 因为凡在田间发现的人和牲畜而不收回家里去的, 冰雹必落在他们身上, 他们就必死亡. ”’”

9:20 Anyone from the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of Yahweh caused his servants and livestock to flee to the houses.
法老的臣仆中有惧怕耶和华这话的, 就叫他的仆人和牲畜进屋里来.

9:21 But whoever did not give regard to the word of Yahweh abandoned his servants and his livestock in the field.
但那不把耶和华这话放在心上的, 却把他的仆人和牲畜留在田里.

9:22 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand to the heavens, and let there be hail in all the land of Egypt, on human and on animal and on all the vegetation of the field in the land of Egypt.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要向天伸杖, 使埃及全地都有冰雹, 落在人身上,在牲畜身上和埃及地田间所有的蔬菜上. ”

9:23 And Moses stretched out his staff to the heavens, and Yahweh gave thunder and hail, and fire went to the earth, and Yahweh caused hail to rain on the land of Egypt.
摩西把手杖向天一伸, 耶和华就打雷(“打雷”原文作“神的声音”)下雹, 有火落在地上; 耶和华使冰雹降在埃及地上.

那时有了冰雹, 冰雹与火混杂在一起, 十分严重; 埃及全地自从建国以来, 未曾有过这样的冰雹.

9:25 And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, from human to animal, and the hail struck all the vegetation of the field and smashed every tree of the field.
在埃及全地, 冰雹把田间的一切, 连人和牲畜都击打了; 冰雹又把田间的一切蔬菜击打了, 也把田间的一切树木打断了.

9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were, there was no hail.
只有在以色列人所在的歌珊地, 没有冰雹.

9:27 And Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “I have sinned this time. Yahweh is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones.
于是, 法老把摩西和亚伦召了来, 对他们说: “这一次我犯了罪了; 耶和华是公义的, 我和我的人民是有罪的.

9:28 Pray to Yahweh. The thunder of God and hail are enough, and I will release you, and you will no longer have to stay.”
请你们祈求耶和华吧, 因为这雷声和冰雹已经够了; 我决意让你们离开, 你们不可再留在这里. ”

9:29 And Moses said to him, “At my leaving the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunder will stop, and the hail will be no more, so that you will know that the earth belongs to Yahweh.
摩西回答法老: “我一出城, 就必向耶和华伸手祷告, 雷声就必止住, 也不再有冰雹了, 好使你知道大地是属于耶和华的.

9:30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the presence of Yahweh God.”
至于你和你的臣仆, 我知道你们在耶和华神的面前还是没有惧怕的心. ”

9:31 And the flax and the barley were struck, because the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.
那时, 麻和大麦被冰雹击打了, 因为大麦已经吐穗, 麻也开了花.

9:32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, because they are late-ripening.
只是小麦和粗麦却没有被击打, 因为它们还没有长成.

9:33 And Moses went from Pharaoh out of the city, and he spread his hands to Yahweh, and the thunder and the hail stopped, and rain did not pour on the earth.
摩西离开法老出城去了, 就向耶和华伸手祷告, 雷声和冰雹就止住了, 雨也不再倾倒在地上了.

9:34 And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder stopped, and he again sinned and made his heart insensitive, he and his servants.
法老看见雨水,冰雹和雷声都止住了, 就更加犯罪, 他和他的臣仆都心里刚硬.

9:35 And Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he did not release the Israelites, as Yahweh had said by the agency of Moses.
法老的心刚硬, 不肯让以色列人离开, 就像耶和华借着摩西所说的.

Exodus - Chapter 10

10:1 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have made his heart insensitive and the heart of his servants in order to put these signs of mine in his midst,
耶和华对摩西说: “你要到法老那里去, 因为我已经使他的心和他臣仆的心刚硬, 为要在他们中间显出我这些神迹;

10:2 so that you will tell in the ears of your child and your grandchild that I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and so that you will tell about my signs that I have done among them, and so you will know that I am Yahweh.”
并且要你把愚弄埃及人的事, 和我在他们中间显出的神迹, 都讲给你的子孙听; 使你们知道我是耶和华. ”

10:3 And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and they said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, ‘Until when will you refuse to submit before me? Release my people so that they may serve me.
摩西和亚伦就到法老那里去, 对他说: “耶和华希伯来人的神这样说: ‘你拒绝在我面前谦卑要到几时呢? 让我的人民离开吧, 使他们可以事奉我.

10:4 But if you are refusing to release my people, look, I am about to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
如果你拒绝让我的人民离开, 看哪! 明天我要使蝗虫进入你的境界;

10:5 And they will cover the surface of the land, and no one will be able to see the land, and they will eat the remainder of what is left—what is left over for you from the hail—and they will eat every sprouting tree belonging to you from the field.
蝗虫必遮盖地面, 甚至人不能看见地; 蝗虫必吃尽那避过灾难余剩的, 那没有受冰雹击打, 剩下留给你们的; 它们也必吃尽田间给你们生长起来的一切树木.

10:6 And your houses will be full, and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all Egypt, something that your fathers and your grandfathers never saw from the day they were on the earth until this day.’ ” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
蝗虫必充满了你的宫殿, 你所有臣仆的房屋, 和所有埃及人的房屋; 这是你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗自从在世以来, 直到今日, 所没有见过的. ’”摩西就转身, 离开法老出去了.

10:7 And the servants of Pharaoh said to him, “Until when will this be a snare for us? Release the men so that they may serve Yahweh their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”
法老的臣仆对法老说: “这人成为我们的网罗要到几时呢? 让这些人离开吧, 使他们可以事奉耶和华他们的神; 埃及已经毁灭了, 你还不知道吗? ”

10:8 And Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Serve Yahweh your God. Who are the ones going?
于是, 摩西和亚伦被召回来到法老那里. 法老对他们说: “你们去事奉耶和华你们的神吧, 但那些要去的是谁呢? ”

10:9 And Moses said, “With our young and with our old we will go; with our sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and goats and with our cattle we will go because it is the feast of Yahweh for us.”
摩西回答: “我们要和我们年少的与年老的同去, 要和我们的儿女同去, 也要和我们的羊群与牛群同去, 因为我们必须向耶和华守节. ”

10:10 And he said to them, “Let Yahweh be thus with you as soon as I release you and your dependents. See that evil is before your faces.
法老对他们说: “我让你们和你们的孩子离开的时候, 愿耶和华与你们同在; 你们要谨慎, 因为有祸患在你们面前.

10:11 No indeed; just the men go and serve Yahweh, since this is what you are seeking.” And he drove them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
不可以这样, 只有你们的男子可以去事奉耶和华, 因为这原是你们要求的. ”于是把他们从法老面前赶出去.

10:12 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt with the locusts so that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and let them eat all the vegetation of the land, all that the hail left behind.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要向埃及地伸手, 使蝗虫上埃及地来, 吃尽地上所有的蔬菜, 就是受冰雹击打后留下的. ”

10:13 And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh drove an east wind into the land all that day and all night. The morning came, and the east wind had brought the locusts.
摩西就向埃及地伸杖, 整整的一日一夜, 耶和华把东风吹在地上; 到了早晨, 东风把蝗虫吹来了.

10:14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and they settled in all the territory of Egypt, very severe. Before it there were not locusts like them, nor will there be after it.
蝗虫上到埃及全地来, 停留在埃及全境. 它们非常众多, 以前没有像这样多的蝗虫, 以后也没有.

10:15 And they covered the surface of all the land, and the land was dark with them, and they ate all the vegetation of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left, and no green was left in the trees nor in the vegetation of the field in all the land of Egypt.
蝗虫遮盖了整个地面, 以致大地都变黑了. 它们吃尽了地上一切蔬菜, 和树上所有的果子, 就是受冰雹击打后留下来的. 这样, 在埃及全地, 无论是树木, 或田间的蔬菜, 连一点青的也没有留下.

10:16 And Pharaoh hurried to call Moses and Aaron, and he said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God and against you.
于是, 法老急忙把摩西和亚伦召了来, 说: “我得罪了耶和华你们的神, 也得罪了你们.

10:17 And now forgive my sin surely this time, and pray to Yahweh your God so that he may only remove from me this death.”
现在求你只这一次赦免我的罪, 也请你们求告耶和华你们的神, 使这一次的死亡离开我. ”

10:18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and he prayed to Yahweh.
摩西就离开法老出来, 祈求耶和华.

10:19 And Yahweh turned a very strong west wind and lifted up the locusts and thrust them into the Red Sea, and not one locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
耶和华转了非常强大的西风, 把蝗虫吹起来了, 投进红海里; 在埃及全境, 连一只蝗虫也没留下.

10:20 And Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not release the Israelites.
但是耶和华使法老的心刚硬, 以致法老不肯让以色列人离开.

10:21 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt and so that a person can feel darkness.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要向天举手, 使黑暗临到埃及地, 这黑暗是可以触摸的. ”

10:22 And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was darkness of night in all the land of Egypt for three days.
摩西向天伸手, 幽暗就临到埃及全地三天之久.

10:23 No one could see his brother, and because of it no one could move from where they were for three days, but there was light for the Israelites in their dwellings.
三天之内, 人彼此不能看见, 谁也不能起来离开自己的地方; 但是在所有以色列人居住的地方都有亮光.

10:24 And Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve Yahweh. Only your sheep and goats and your cattle must be left behind. Your dependents may also go with you.”
法老就把摩西召了来, 说: “你们去事奉耶和华吧, 你们的孩子也可以与你们同去; 只是要把你们的羊群和牛群留下来. ”

10:25 And Moses said, “Even if you yourself put into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings and we offer them to Yahweh our God,
摩西回答: “你也要把献祭用的祭物和燔祭交给我们, 使我们可以献给耶和华我们的神.

10:26 our livestock must also go with us. Not a hoof can be left because we must take from them to serve Yahweh our God. And we will not know with what we are to serve Yahweh until we come there.”
我们的牲畜也要与我们同去, 连一只也不留下; 因为我们要从它们当中取出一些来事奉耶和华我们的神; 我们没有到达之前, 还不知道要用什么事奉耶和华. ”

10:27 And Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to release them.
但耶和华使法老心里刚硬, 因此他不愿意让他们离开.

10:28 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go from me. Be careful not to see my face again, because on the day of your seeing my face you will die.”
法老对摩西说: “你离开我去吧, 你要小心, 不要再见我的面; 因为你再见我面的时候, 你必定死. ”

10:29 And Moses said, “That is right. I will not again see your face.”
摩西回答: “你说对了, 我不再见你的面了. ”

Exodus - Chapter 11

11:1 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Still one plague I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt; afterward he will release you from here. At the moment of his releasing, he will certainly drive you completely out from here.
耶和华对摩西说: “我再使一种灾祸临到法老和埃及, 然后法老他必让你们离开这里. 他让你们离开的时候, 必全部赶逐你们离开这地.

现在你要告诉人民, 叫他们男女各人向自己的邻舍索取银器金器. ”

在埃及地所有头生的都必死亡, 就是从坐王位的法老的长子, 直到推磨的婢女的长子, 以及一切头生的牲畜都必死亡.

11:6 And there will be a great cry of distress in all the land of Egypt, the like of which has not been nor will be again.
在埃及全地必有大哀号; 这样的哀号从前未曾有过, 以后也必再没有.

11:7 But against all the Israelites, from a man to an animal, a dog will not even bark, so that you will know that Yahweh makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’
但是对于所有的以色列人, 无论是人或是牲畜, 连狗也不敢向他们叫吠; 为要使你们知道耶和华是把埃及人和以色列人分别出来的’.

Exodus - Chapter 12

12:1 And Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
耶和华在埃及地告诉摩西和亚伦说:

12:2 “This month will be the beginning of months; it will be for you the first of the months of the year.
“你们要以本月为正月, 为一年的第一个月.

12:3 Speak to all the community of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month, they will each take for themselves a lamb for the family, a lamb for the household.
你们要告诉以色列全体会众说: 本月初十, 他们各人要按着父家取羊羔, 一家一只.

12:4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, he and the neighbor nearest to his house will take one according to the number of persons; you will count out portions of the lamb according to how much each one can eat.
如果一家的人太少, 吃不了一只羊羔, 家长就要和靠近他家的邻居按着人数共取一只. 你们预备羊羔的时候, 要按着各人的食量计算.

12:5 The lamb for you must be a male, without defect, in its first year; you will take it from the sheep or from the goats.
你们的羊羔要毫无残疾, 一岁以内的公羊; 你们可以从绵羊或山羊里取.

12:6 “You will keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and all the assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter it at twilight.
你们要把羊羔留到本月十四日, 在黄昏的时候, 以色列全体会众要把羊羔宰杀.

12:7 And they will take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel on the houses in which they eat it.
他们要取点血, 涂在吃羊羔的房屋两边的门柱和门楣上.

12:8 And they will eat the meat on this night; they will eat it fire-roasted and with unleavened bread on bitter herbs.

12:9 You must not eat any of it raw or boiled, boiled in the water, but rather roasted with fire, its head with its legs and with its inner parts.
不可吃生的, 也不可用水煮; 只可吃用火烤的. 头,腿和内脏都一起吃.

12:10 And you must not leave any of it until morning; anything left from it until morning you must burn in the fire.
你们一点也不可留到早晨; 如果有一点留到早晨, 就要用火烧掉.

12:11 And this is how you will eat it—with your waists fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you will eat it in haste. It is Yahweh’s Passover.
你们要这样吃羊羔: 腰间束上带, 脚上穿着鞋, 手中拿着杖, 快速地吃; 这是耶和华的逾越节.

这一日必作你们的记念日; 你们要守这日为耶和华的节; 你们要世世代代守这节日作永远的定例.

12:16 It will be for you on the first day a holy assembly and on the seventh day a holy assembly; no work will be done on them; only what is eaten by every person, it alone will be prepared for you.
第一日你们要有圣会, 第七日你们也要有圣会; 这两日之内, 除了预备各人所要吃的以外, 一切工作都不可作.

凡是有酵的, 你们都不可吃; 在你们一切居住的地方, 你们都要吃无酵饼. ”

12:21 And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and he said to them, “Select and take for yourselves sheep for your clans and slaughter the Passover sacrifice.
于是, 摩西把以色列的众长老召了来, 对他们说: “你们要按着家族自己选取羊羔, 把这逾越节的羊羔宰杀了.

要拿一把牛膝草, 蘸在盆中的血里, 然后把盆里的血涂在门楣上和两边的门柱上; 你们谁也不可出自己的房门, 直到早晨.

12:23 And Yahweh will go through to strike Egypt, and he will see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and Yahweh will pass over the doorway and will not allow the destroyer to come to your houses to strike you.
因为耶和华要走遍各处击打埃及人; 他一看见门楣和两边的门柱上有血, 就越过那门, 不让那毁灭者进入你们的房屋来击杀你们.

12:24 “And you will keep this event as a rule for you and for your children forever.

日后, 你们进了耶和华应许赐给你们的那地的时候, 就必须守这敬拜之礼.

12:26 And when your children say to you, ‘What is this religious custom for you?’
日后, 如果你们的子孙问你们: ‘你们这敬拜之礼有什么意思? ’

12:27 you will say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice for Yahweh, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he struck Egypt; and he delivered our houses.’ ” And the people knelt down and they worshiped.
你们就要回答: ‘这是献给耶和华逾越节的祭. 耶和华击杀埃及人的时候, 越过了在埃及的以色列人的房屋, 救了我们的家. ’”于是人民低头敬拜.

12:28 And the Israelites went, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.
以色列人就去行了; 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西和亚伦, 以色列人就照样行了.

12:29 And in the middle of the night, Yahweh struck all of the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison house and every firstborn of an animal.

以色列人就拿了没有发过酵的生面, 用衣服把抟面盆绑好, 扛在肩头上.

12:35 And the Israelites did according to the word of Moses, and they asked from the Egyptians for objects of silver and objects of gold and for clothing.
以色列人照着摩西的话行了, 他们向埃及人索取银器金器和衣服.

12:36 And Yahweh gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they granted their requests, and they plundered the Egyptians.

他们把从埃及带出来的生面烘成了无酵的圆饼. 这生面原是没有发过酵的, 因为他们被驱逐离开埃及, 所以不能停留, 也没有为自己预备食粮.

12:40 And the period of dwelling of the Israelites that they dwelled in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
以色列人住在埃及的时间共有四百三十年之久.

就在四百三十年届满的那一天, 耶和华的全军都从埃及地出来了.

12:42 It is a night of vigils belonging to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt; it is this night belonging to Yahweh with vigils for all of the Israelites throughout their generations.
这是向耶和华守的一夜, 因为耶和华把他们从埃及地领出来, 所以这一夜是所有以色列人世世代代向耶和华守的一夜.

12:43 And Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner may eat it.
耶和华对摩西和亚伦说: “逾越节的定例是这样, 凡是外族人都不可以吃羊羔的肉.

12:44 But any slave of a man, an acquisition by money, and you have circumcised him, then he may eat it.

如果有外族人寄居在你们中间, 也愿向耶和华守逾越节, 他所有的男子都要受割礼, 然后他才可以前来守逾越节; 他就必像本地人一样, 但所有未受割礼的人都不可以吃这羊羔.

12:49 One law will be for the native and for the alien who is dwelling in your midst.”

耶和华告诉摩西说:

13:2 “Consecrate to me every firstborn, the first offspring of every womb among the Israelites, among humans and among domestic animals; it belongs to me.”
“在以色列人中, 你要把所有头生的都分别为圣归我; 无论是人或是牲畜, 凡是头生的都是我的. ”

13:3 And Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you went out from Egypt, from a house of slaves, because with strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from here, and food with yeast will not be eaten.
摩西对人民说: “你们要记念这一天, 就是从埃及为奴之家出来的这一天, 因为耶和华用大能的手把你们从这里领出来; 所以有酵之物都不可以吃.

你们是在亚笔月这一日出来的.

13:5 And when Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites—which he swore to your ancestors to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you will perform this service in this month.
日后耶和华领你进到迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,希未人,耶布斯人之地, 就是他向你的列祖起誓要赐给你的那流奶与蜜之地, 那时你要在这月守这敬拜之礼.

13:6 Seven days you will eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day will be a feast for Yahweh.
你要吃无酵饼七日, 第七日要向耶和华守节.

13:7 Unleavened bread will be eaten the seven days; food with yeast will not be seen for you; and yeast will not be seen for you in all your territory.
七日之中你要吃无酵饼; 在你四境之内, 不可见有发过酵之物在你面前, 也不可见有酵在你那里.

13:8 And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out from Egypt.’
在那日, 你要告诉你的儿子说: ‘这是因为耶和华在我从埃及出来的时候为我所行的事. ’

13:9 And it will be as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes so that the law of Yahweh will be in your mouth, that with a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from Egypt.
这要在你的手上作记号, 在你额上作记念, 好使耶和华的律法常在你的口中, 因为耶和华曾用大能的手把你从埃及领出来.

13:10 And you will keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
所以, 你要年年按着定期遵守这定例.

13:11 “And when Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your ancestors, and he gives it to you,
“日后, 耶和华照着他向你和你的列祖所起的誓, 把你领进迦南人之地, 把这地赐给你之后,

13:12 you will hand over every first offspring of a womb to Yahweh, and every first offspring dropped by a domestic animal that will belong to you, the males will be for Yahweh.
你要把所有头生的奉献给耶和华, 也要把你一切牲畜中所有头生的小牲口奉献给耶和华; 公的都属耶和华.

13:13 And every first offspring of a donkey you will redeem with small livestock, and if you will not redeem it, then you will break its neck, and every firstborn human among your sons you will redeem.
凡是头生的驴, 你要用羊羔代赎; 如果你不代赎, 就要打断它的颈项; 凡是你儿子中头生的人, 你都要代赎.

13:14 And when your son asks you in the future, saying, ‘What is this?’ you will say to him, ‘With strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from a house of slaves.
日后你的儿子若是问你们: ‘这是什么意思? ’你就要回答他: ‘耶和华曾经用大能的手把我们从埃及为奴之家领出来.

13:15 And when Pharaoh was stubborn to release us, Yahweh killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from firstborn human to firstborn domestic animal. Therefore I am sacrificing to Yahweh every first offspring of a womb, the males, and every firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
那时法老心里刚硬, 不让我们离开, 耶和华就把埃及地所有头生的, 无论是人或是牲畜都杀了; 所以, 我把所有头生的公牲口都献给耶和华为祭; 但我所有头生的儿子, 却都要代赎回来.

13:16 And it will be as a sign on your hand and as symbolic ornaments between your eyes that with strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt.”
这要在你的手上作记号, 在你的额上作头带; 因为耶和华曾用大能的手把我们从埃及领出来. ’”

13:17 And when Pharaoh released the people, God did not lead them the way of the land of the Philistines, though it was nearer, because God said, “Lest the people change their mind when they see war and return to Egypt.”
法老让人民离开的时候, 虽然非利士的路很近, 神却不领他们从那里走, 因为神说: “恐怕百姓看见战争而后悔, 就回埃及去. ”

13:18 So God led the people around by the way of the desert to the Red Sea, and the Israelites went up in battle array from the land of Egypt.
所以神领人民绕道而行, 走旷野的路到红海去; 以色列人从埃及地上来的时候, 都带着兵器.

13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the Israelites solemnly swear an oath, saying, “God will surely attend to you, and you will take up my bones from here with you.”
摩西带了约瑟的骸骨同去, 因为约瑟曾经叫以色列人严肃地起誓, 说: “神必定眷顾你们; 你们要把我的骸骨从这里也一同带去. ”

他们从疏割起程, 在旷野边界的以倘安营.

13:21 And Yahweh was going before them by day in a column of cloud to lead them on the way and by night in a column of fire to give light to them to go by day and night.
耶和华在他们前面行, 日间用云柱领他们的路, 夜间用火柱光照他们, 使他们日夜都可以行走.

13:22 The column of cloud by day and the column of fire by night did not depart from before the people.
日间云柱, 夜间火柱, 都不离开众民的面前.

Exodus - Chapter 14

14:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华告诉摩西说:

14:2 “Speak to the Israelites so that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; before Baal Zephon, which is opposite it, you will camp by the sea.
“你要吩咐以色列人转回过来, 在比．哈希录前, 密夺和海之间安营; 你们要在巴力．洗分前, 对着巴力．洗分, 靠近海边的地方安营.

14:3 And Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering around in the land. The desert has closed in on them.’
法老必论到以色列人的事, 说: ‘他们在这地走迷了路, 旷野把他们困住了. ’

14:4 And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he will chase after them, and I will be glorified through Pharaoh and through all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” And they did so.
我要使法老的心刚硬, 他就必追赶他们; 这样, 我就可以在法老身上和他的全军身上得到荣耀, 埃及人就必知道我是耶和华. ”于是以色列人就这样行了.

14:5 And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people fled, and the heart of Pharaoh was changed and that of his servants toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have released Israel from serving us!”
有人告诉埃及王说: “以色列人逃走了. ”法老和他的臣仆对以色列人的心就改变了, 他们说: “我们让以色列人离开, 不再服事我们, 我们作了什么事呢? ”

14:6 And he harnessed his chariot and took with him his people.
法老就预备他的马车, 带着他的人民一同去,

14:7 And he took six hundred select chariots and all the chariots of Egypt and officers over all of them.
并且带着六百辆特选的马车和埃及所有的马车, 每辆马车上都有马车长.

14:8 And Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and he chased after the Israelites. (Now the Israelites were going out boldly.)
耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬, 法老就追赶以色列人; 因为以色列是靠着耶和华高举的手出来的.

14:9 And the Egyptians chased after them, and they overtook them encamped at the sea—all the horses of the chariots of Pharaoh and his charioteers and his army—at Pi-hahiroth before Baal Zephon.
埃及人追赶他们, 法老所有的马匹,战车和他的马兵与军队, 就在海边, 靠近比．哈希录, 对着巴力．洗分他们安营的地方追上了他们.

14:10 And Pharaoh approached, and the Israelites lifted their eyes, and there were the Egyptians traveling after them! And they were very afraid, and the Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
法老走近的时候, 以色列人举目观看, 看见埃及人正追赶过来, 就非常惧怕, 向耶和华呼求.

14:11 And they said to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt? Is that why you have taken us to die in the desert? What is this you have done to us by bringing us out from Egypt!
他们对摩西说: “难道埃及没有坟墓, 你要把我们带来死在旷野吗? 你为什么这样待我们, 把我们从埃及领出来呢?

14:12 Isn’t this the word we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone so that we can serve Egypt!’ because serving Egypt is better for us than our dying in the desert.”
我们在埃及的时候, 不是对你说过: ‘不要管我们, 我们要服事埃及人’这话吗? 因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好. ”

14:13 And Moses said to the people, “You must not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will accomplish for you today, because the Egyptians whom you see today you will see never again.
摩西对人民说: “不要惧怕, 要站着, 观看耶和华今天为你们施行的拯救; 因为你们今天看见的埃及人, 必永远不再看见了.

14:14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you must be quiet.”
耶和华必为你们争战, 你们必须安静, 不要作声. ”

14:15 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry out to me? Speak to the Israelites so that they set out.
耶和华对摩西说: “你为什么向我呼求呢? 吩咐以色列人往前走.

14:16 And you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it so that the Israelites can go in the middle of the sea on the dry land.
你要把你的杖举起来, 向海伸手, 把海分开, 叫以色列人下到海中走干地.

14:17 And as for me, look, I am about to harden the heart of the Egyptians so that they come after them, and I will display my glory through Pharaoh and through all of his army, through his chariots and through his charioteers.
看哪, 我要使埃及人的心刚硬, 他们就必跟着以色列人下去; 这样, 我必在法老和他的全军身上, 以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀.

14:18 And the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I display my glory through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his charioteers.”
我在法老身上, 以及他的马车和马兵身上得到荣耀的时候, 埃及人就知道我是耶和华. ”

14:19 And the angel of God who was going before the camp of Israel set out and went behind them. And the column of cloud set out ahead of them, and it stood still behind them,
在以色列营前行走的神的使者, 转到他们后面去; 云柱也从他们前面转过去, 立在他们后面.

14:20 so that it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And it was a dark cloud, but it gave light to the night, so that neither approached the other all night.
云柱来到埃及营和以色列营中间; 云柱一边是黑暗的, 一边却光照着黑夜. 这样整夜彼此都不能接近.

14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh moved the sea with a strong east wind all night, and he made the sea become dry ground, and the waters were divided.
摩西向海伸手, 耶和华就用极强的东风, 一夜之间使海水退去; 他使海变成干地, 海水也分开了.

14:22 And the Israelites entered the middle of the sea on the dry land. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left.
以色列人下到海中走干地, 水在他们的左右作了墙垣.

14:23 And the Egyptians gave chase and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his charioteers—into the middle of the sea.
埃及人追赶过来, 法老所有的马匹,马车和马兵, 都跟着以色列人下到海中去.

14:24 And during the morning watch, Yahweh looked down to the Egyptian camp from in the column of fire and cloud, and he threw the Egyptian camp into a panic.
到了晨更的时候, 耶和华透过云柱火柱向下观看埃及人的军兵, 并且使埃及人的军兵大起混乱.

14:25 And he removed the wheels of their chariots so that they drove them with difficulty, and the Egyptians said, “We must flee away from Israel because Yahweh is fighting for them against Egypt.”
又使他们的车轮脱落, 行驶困难, 因此埃及人说: “我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧, 因为耶和华为他们争战, 攻击埃及人了. ”

14:26 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over their charioteers.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要向海伸手, 使水回流到埃及人身上, 流到他们的战车和马兵身上. ”

14:27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned at daybreak to its normal level, and the Egyptians were fleeing because of it, and Yahweh swept the Egyptians into the middle of the sea.
摩西就向海伸手, 到了天亮的时候, 海水流回原处; 埃及人逆流逃跑的时候, 耶和华就把他们投在海中.

14:28 And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the charioteers—all the army of Pharaoh coming after them into the sea. Not even one survived among them.
海水一回流, 就淹没了马车,马兵和那些跟着以色列人下海去的法老的全军, 连一个也没有余下.

14:29 But the Israelites walked on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left.
以色列人却在海中走干地, 水在他们的左右作了墙垣.

14:30 And Yahweh saved Israel on that day from the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea.
这样, 耶和华就在那一天把以色列人从埃及人的手里拯救了出来; 以色列人看见埃及人都死在海边.

14:31 And Israel saw the great hand that Yahweh displayed against Egypt, and the people feared Yahweh, and they believed in Yahweh and in Moses his servant.
以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所显大能的手, 就敬畏耶和华, 又信服耶和华和他的仆人摩西.

那时, 摩西和以色列人向耶和华唱了以下这首歌, 说: “我要向耶和华歌唱, 因为他高高地被高举起来; 他把马匹和骑马的投在海中.

15:4 The chariots of Pharaoh and his army he cast into the sea, and his choice adjutants were sunk in the Red Sea.
他把法老的马车和军兵都投在海里, 法老特选的官长都沉在红海中.

15:5 The deep waters covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.
波涛淹没了他们, 他们好像石头坠到深海.

15:6 Yahweh, your right hand is glorious in power; Yahweh, your right hand destroyed the enemy.
耶和华啊, 你的右手满有荣耀和能力; 耶和华啊, 你的右手击碎了仇敌.

你以莫大的威荣, 毁灭了那些起来攻击你的人; 你发出烈怒, 把他们烧灭像烧禾秸一样.

15:8 And by the breath of your nostrils waters were piled up; waves stood like a heap; deep waters in the middle of the sea congealed.
你鼻孔中的气一发, 海水就堆聚起来; 水流直立像堤坝, 深渊凝结于海心.

仇敌说: ‘我要追赶, 我要追上, 我要均分掳物; 我要在他们身上得到满足; 我要拔出刀来, 亲手赶绝他们. ’

你用风一吹, 海就把他们淹没, 他们就像铅一样沉在大水之中.

15:11 Who is like you among the gods, Yahweh? Who is like you—glorious in holiness, awesome in praiseworthy actions, doing wonders?

恐惧战兢临到他们身上; 因着你大能的手臂, 他们像石头一样寂然不动; 直到你的人民过去, 耶和华啊, 直到你买赎的人民过去.

15:17 You brought them and planted them on the mountain of your inheritance, a place you made for yourself to inhabit, Yahweh, a sanctuary, Lord, that your hands established.
你要把他们领进去, 栽种在你产业的山上, 耶和华啊, 就是在你为自己预备的住处; 主啊, 就是在你手建立的圣所上.

因为法老的马匹,战车和马兵进到海中去的时候, 耶和华使海水回流到他们身上; 以色列人却在海中走干地.

米利暗应和着她们说: “你们要向耶和华歌唱, 因为他高高地被高举起来, 他把马匹和骑马的投在海中. ”

人民就向摩西发怨言, 说: “我们喝什么呢? ”

15:25 And he cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him a piece of wood, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There he made a rule and regulation for them, and there he tested them.
摩西向耶和华呼叫, 耶和华就向他指示一棵树; 他把树丢进水里, 水就变甜了. 耶和华在那里为他们立了律例和典章, 也在那里试验了他们.

15:26 And he said, “If you carefully listen to the voice of Yahweh your God and you do what is right in his eyes and give heed to his commands and you keep all his rules, then I will not bring about on you any of the diseases that I brought about on Egypt, because I am Yahweh your healer.
耶和华又说: “如果你留意听耶和华你神的声音, 行他眼中看为正的事, 侧耳听他的诫命, 遵守他的一切律例; 这样, 我决不把加在埃及人身上的一切疾病加在你们身上, 因为我是医治你的耶和华. ”

以色列人对他们说: “我们宁愿在埃及地坐在肉锅旁边, 吃饭吃到饱的时候, 死在耶和华的手里! 你们倒把我们领出来, 到这旷野, 是要叫这全体会众饿死啊! ”

16:4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, I am going to rain down for you bread from the heavens, and the people will go out and gather enough for the day on its day; in that way I will test them: Will they go according to my law or not?
耶和华对摩西说: “看哪, 我要把粮食从天上降给你们; 人民可以出去, 每天收取当天的分量, 我好试验他们是否遵行我的律法.

16:7 and in the morning, you will see the glory of Yahweh, for he hears your grumblings against Yahweh, and what are we that you grumble against us?”
明早你们必定看见耶和华的荣耀, 因为耶和华听见了你们向他所发的怨言了. 我们算什么, 你们竟向我们发怨言呢? ”

16:8 And Moses said, “When in the evening Yahweh gives you meat to eat and bread in the morning to fill up on, for he hears your grumblings that you grumble against him—and what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against Yahweh.”
摩西又说: “耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃, 早晨必给你们食物吃饱, 因为耶和华听见了你们埋怨他所说的怨言了. 我们算什么? 你们的怨言不是向我们发的, 而是向耶和华发的. ”

16:9 And Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the community of the Israelites, ‘Come near before Yahweh because he has heard your grumblings.’ ”
摩西对亚伦说: “你要对以色列全体会众说: ‘你们走近耶和华面前, 因为他已经听见了你们的怨言了. ’”

16:10 And at the moment of Aaron’s speaking to all the community of the Israelites, they turned to the desert, and just then the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.

“以色列人的怨言, 我已经听见了. 你告诉他们说: ‘黄昏的时候你们必吃肉, 早晨的时候必有食物吃饱; 这样, 你们就知道我耶和华是你们的神了. ’”

到了晚上, 有鹌鹑飞上来, 把营都遮盖了; 到了早晨, 营的四周有一层露水.

16:14 And the layer of dew came up, and there on the face of the desert was a fine granular substance, fine like frost on the ground.
露水上升以后, 就见野地上有细小鳞状的东西, 像小白霜一样细小的东西.

16:15 And the Israelites saw, and they said to each other, “What is this?” because they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “That is the bread that Yahweh has given to you as food.
以色列人看见了, 就彼此对问说: “这是什么? ”原来他们不知道那是什么. 摩西对他们说: “这就是耶和华赐给你们吃的食物.

16:16 This is the word that Yahweh commanded, ‘Gather from it, each according to what he can eat, an omer per person according to the number of you. You each shall take enough for whoever is in his tent.’ ”
耶和华吩咐的话是这样的: ‘你们要按着各人的食量收取, 按着你们的人数为帐幕里的人收取, 一人两公升. ’”

16:19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
摩西对他们说: “谁也不可把一些留到早晨. ”

16:20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some people left some of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
他们却不听摩西的话, 有人把一些留到早晨, 就生虫发臭了. 摩西就向他们发怒.

16:21 And they gathered it morning by morning, each according to what he could eat, and it melted when the sun was hot.
他们每天早晨都按着各人的食量去收取; 太阳一发热, 就融化了.

16:22 And when it was the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one person, and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses.
到第六日, 他们收取了两倍的食物, 每人四公升; 会众的首领都来告诉摩西.

16:23 And he said to them, “This is what Yahweh has said. Tomorrow is a rest period, a holy Sabbath for Yahweh. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Put aside all the surplus for yourselves for safekeeping until the morning.”
摩西对他们说: “耶和华这样说: ‘明天是安息日, 是向耶和华守的圣安息日. 你们要烤的, 就烤吧; 要煮的, 就煮吧; 所有余剩的要自己保存着, 直留到早晨. ’”

16:24 And they put it aside until the morning, as Moses had commanded, and it did not make a stench, and not a maggot was in it.
他们就照着摩西吩咐的, 把余剩的留到早晨; 竟然不发臭, 里头也没有生虫.

16:25 And Moses said, “Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath for Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the field.
摩西说: “今天吃这个吧, 因为今天是向耶和华守的安息日, 今日你们在田野里必找不着.

16:26 Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be present on it.”
六天你们可以收取, 但第七天是安息日, 在那一天什么都没有了. ”

16:27 And on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they did not find any.
第七天民间有人出去收取, 可是什么也找不着.

16:28 And Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commands and my laws?
耶和华对摩西说: “你们拒绝遵守我的诫命和律法, 要到几时呢?

16:29 See, because Yahweh has given to you the Sabbath, therefore he is giving to you on the sixth day bread for two days. Stay, each in his location; let no one go from his place on the seventh day.”
你们看, 耶和华把安息日赐给了你们, 所以第六日他赐给你们两天的食物; 第七天你们各人要住在家里, 谁都不可离开自己的地方. ”

16:30 And the people rested on the seventh day.
于是人民在第七天都安息了.

16:31 And the house of Israel called its name “manna.” And it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like a wafer with honey.
以色列家给这食物起名叫“吗哪”, 它像芫荽的种子, 色白, 味道像搀蜜的薄饼.

16:32 And Moses said, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded. ‘A full omer of it is for safekeeping for your generations so that they will see the bread that I fed you in the desert when I brought you from the land of Egypt.’ ”
摩西说: “耶和华吩咐的话是这样: 要把满两公升的吗哪保留起来给你们的后代, 好让他们可以看见当日我把你们从埃及地领出来的时候, 在旷野给你们吃的食物. ”

16:33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one jar and put there a full omer of manna. Leave it before Yahweh for safekeeping for your generations.”
摩西对亚伦说: “拿一个罐子来, 装满两公升吗哪, 存放在耶和华面前, 保留起来给你们的后代. ”

16:34 As Yahweh had commanded Moses, so Aaron left it before the testimony for safekeeping.
亚伦就照着耶和华吩咐摩西的, 把吗哪存留在法柜前.

16:35 And the Israelites ate the manna forty years, until their coming to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until their coming to the border of the land of Canaan.
以色列人吃吗哪共四十年, 直到进了有人居住的地方为止; 他们吃吗哪, 直到进入迦南地的边界为止.

16:36 (And an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
两公升就是当时的标准量器的十分之一. (“两公升就是当时的标准量器的十分之一”原文作“一俄梅珥就是一伊法的十分之一”)

看哪, 我必在何烈山那里的磐石上站在你面前; 你要击打磐石, 就必有水从磐石流出来, 使人民可以喝. ”摩西就在以色列的长老眼前这样行了.

他给那地方起名叫玛撒, 又叫米利巴, 因为以色列人在那里争吵, 又因为他们试探耶和华, 说: “耶和华是不是在我们中间呢? ”

但第七日是耶和华你的神的安息日; 这一日, 你和你的儿女, 你的仆婢和牲畜, 以及住在你城里的寄居者, 不可作任何的工.

Exodus - Chapter 32

32:1 And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, and the people gathered opposite Aaron, and they said to him, “Come, make for us gods who will go before us, because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”
人民见摩西迟迟不下山, 就聚集到亚伦那里去, 对他说: “起来, 为我们做神像可以走在我们前头领路, 因为那摩西, 就是把我们从埃及地领出来的那个人, 我们不知道他遭遇了什么事. ”

32:2 And Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring it to me.”
亚伦对他们说: “把你们妻子和儿女戴在耳上的金环摘下来, 送来给我. ”

32:3 And all the people took off the rings of gold that were on their ears and brought it to Aaron.
全体人民就把他们耳上的金耳环都摘下来, 送来给亚伦.

32:4 And he took from their hand, and he shaped it with a tool, and he made it a cast-image bull calf, and they said, “These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”
亚伦从他们手中接过来, 用雕刻的工具雕刻, 铸造了一个牛像; 他们就说: “以色列啊, 这就是你们的神, 就是把你从埃及地领出来的那位. ”

32:5 And Aaron saw, and he built an altar before it, and Aaron called, and he said, “A feast for Yahweh tomorrow.”
亚伦看见了, 就在牛像面前筑了一座祭坛, 并且宣告, 说: “明日是耶和华的节日. ”

32:6 And they started early the next day, and they offered burnt offerings, and they presented fellowship offerings, and the people sat to eat and drink, and they rose up to revel.
次日清早, 人民起来, 就献上了燔祭, 也带来了平安祭; 然后他们坐下吃喝, 起来玩乐.

耶和华对摩西说: “你下山去吧, 因为你的人民, 就是你从埃及地领出来的, 已经败坏了.

32:8 They have turned aside quickly from the way that I commanded them; they have made for themselves a cast-image bull calf, and they bowed to it, and they sacrificed to it, and they said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.’ ”
他们很快就偏离了我吩咐他们的道路, 为自己铸造了一个牛像, 向它跪拜, 向它献祭, 说: ‘以色列啊, 这就是你的神, 就是把你从埃及地领出来的那位. ’”

32:9 And Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and, indeed, they are a stiff-necked people.
耶和华对摩西说: “我看这人民, 真是硬着颈项的人民.

32:10 And now leave me alone so that my anger may blaze against them, and let me destroy them, and I will make you into a great nation.”
现在, 你且由得我, 让我向他们发烈怒, 把他们消灭; 我要使你成为大国. ”

32:11 And Moses implored Yahweh his God, and he said, “Why, Yahweh, should your anger blaze against your people whom you brought up from the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
摩西就恳求耶和华他的神施恩, 说: “耶和华啊, 你为什么向你的人民发烈怒呢? 这人民是你用大能和全能的手从埃及地领出来的.

32:12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent he brought them out to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger and relent concerning the disaster for your people.
为什么让埃及人议论, 说: ‘把他们领出来是出于恶意的, 要在山上杀死他们, 在地上消灭他们’呢? 求你回心转意, 不发烈怒; 求你改变初衷, 不降祸给你的人民.

32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by yourself, and you told them, ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I promised I will give to your offspring, and they will inherit it forever.’ ”
求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各; 你曾经指着自己向他们起誓, 说: ‘我必使你的后裔增多, 好像天上的星一样; 我必把我应许的这全地赐给你的后裔, 他们必永远承受这地作产业. ’”

32:14 And Yahweh relented concerning the disaster that he had threatened to do to his people.
于是, 耶和华改变初衷, 不把他所说的祸降在他的人民身上.

32:15 And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the testimony were in his hand, tablets written on their two sides; on the front and on the back they were written.
摩西转身, 从山上下来, 手里拿着两块法版; 法版是两面写的, 这面和那面都写着字.

32:16 And the tablets, they were the work of God; and the writing, it was the writing of God engraved on the tablets.
法版是神的工作, 字是神写的, 刻在法版上.

32:17 And Joshua heard the sound of the people in their shouting, and he said to Moses, “A sound of war is in the camp.”
约书亚听见人民呼喊的声音的时候, 就对摩西说: “营里有战争的声音. ”

32:18 But he said, “There is not a sound of shouting of victory, and there is not a sound of shouting of defeat. I hear a sound of singing.”
摩西回答: “这不是战胜的呼声, 也不是战败的呼声; 我听见的是歌唱的声音. ”

32:19 And as he came near to the camp, he saw the bull calf and dancing, and Moses became angry, and he threw the tablets from his hand, and he broke them under the mountain.
摩西走近营前的时候, 看见了那牛犊, 又看见了有人唱歌跳舞, 他就发烈怒, 把两块法版从他的手中摔掉, 在山下把它们摔碎了.

32:20 And he took the bull calf that they had made, and he burned it with the fire, and he crushed it until it became fine, and he scattered it on the surface of the water, and he made the Israelites drink.
又把他们所做的那牛犊拿过来, 用火焚烧, 磨到粉碎, 撒在水面上, 让以色列人喝.

32:21 And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you brought on them such a great sin?”
摩西对亚伦说: “这人民向你作了什么, 你竟使他们陷在大罪里呢? ”

32:22 And Aaron said, “Let not my lord become angry. You yourself know the people, that they are intent on evil.
亚伦回答: “求我主不要发烈怒, 你知道这人民倾向罪恶.

32:23 And they said to me, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us, because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’
他们对我说: ‘给我们做神像, 可以在我们前面引路, 因为那摩西, 就是把我们从埃及地领出来的那个人, 我们不知道他遭遇了什么事. ’

32:24 And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, take it off.’ And they gave it to me, and I threw it in the fire, and out came this bull calf.”
我对他们说: ‘凡是有金子的, 都可以摘下来’, 他们就给了我; 我把它丢在火里, 这牛犊就出来了. ”

32:25 And Moses saw the people, that they were running wild because Aaron had allowed them to run wild, for a laughingstock among their enemies.
摩西看见人民放肆原来是亚伦纵容他们, 使他们成为那些起来与他们为敌的人的笑柄,

32:26 And Moses stood at the entrance of the camp, and he said, “Whoever is for Yahweh, to me.” And all the sons of Levi were gathered to him.
就站在营门中, 说: “凡是属耶和华的, 都可以到我这里来. ”于是, 所有利未的子孙都到他那里聚集.

32:27 And he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Put each his sword on his side. Go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill, each his brother and each his friend and each his close relative.’ ”
摩西对他们说: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你们各人要把自己的剑佩在大腿上, 在营中往来行走, 从这门到那门; 你们各人要杀自己的兄弟,邻舍和亲人. ’”

32:28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and from the people on that day about three thousand persons fell.
利未的子孙照着摩西的话作了; 那一天, 人民中被杀的约有三千人.

32:29 And Moses said, “You are ordained today for Yahweh, because each has been against his son and against his brother and so bringing on you today a blessing.”
摩西说: “今天你们要奉献自己归耶和华为圣, 因为各人牺牲了自己的儿子和兄弟, 好使耶和华今天赐福给你们. ”

32:30 And the next day Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
第二天, 摩西对人民说: “你们犯了大罪, 现在我要上耶和华那里去, 或者我可以为你们赎罪. ”

32:31 And Moses returned to Yahweh, and he said, “Alas, this people has sinned a great sin and made for themselves gods of gold.
于是, 摩西回到耶和华那里, 说: “唉, 这人民犯了大罪, 为自己做了金神像.

32:32 And now if you will forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me from your scroll that you have written.”
现在, 如果你肯赦免他们的罪, 那就好了; 如果不肯, 求你从你所写的册上把我涂抹吧. ”

32:33 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot him from my scroll.
耶和华对摩西说: “谁得罪了我, 我就要从我的册上把谁涂抹.

32:34 And now go, lead the people to where I spoke to you. Look, my angel will go before you, and on the day when I punish I will punish them for their sin.”
现在你去吧, 领这人民到我吩咐你的地方去. 看哪, 我的使者必在你前面引路; 只是在我追讨的日子, 我必追讨他们的罪. ”

32:35 And Yahweh afflicted the people because they had made the bull calf that Aaron had made.
耶和华击杀人民是因为他们敬拜亚伦做的牛犊.

Exodus - Chapter 33

33:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
耶和华对摩西说: “你和你从埃及地领出来的人民要离开这里, 上我曾经起誓应许给亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各的地去, 我曾应许: ‘我要把这地赐给你的后裔. ’

33:2 And I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
我要差派使者在你前面; 我要把迦南人,亚摩利人,赫人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人赶出去,

33:3 Go to a land flowing with milk and honey, but I will not go up among you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I destroy you on the way.”
你们要上那流奶与蜜的地方去; 我不与你们一同上去, 因为你们是硬着颈项的人民, 免得我在路上把你们消灭. ”

33:4 And the people heard this troubling word, and they mourned, and they each did not put their ornaments on themselves.
人民一听见这凶信, 就悲伤起来, 也没有人穿戴装饰.

33:5 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people; if one moment I were to go up among you, I would destroy you. And now take down your ornaments from on you, and I will decide what I will do to you.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要对以色列人说: ‘你们是硬着颈项的民; 我若是霎时间与你们同行, 我会把你们消灭的; 所以, 现在你们要把你们身上的装饰脱下来, 使我知道我要怎样处置你们. ’”

33:6 And the Israelites stripped themselves of their ornaments from Mount Horeb onward.
于是, 以色列人从何烈山以后, 就把身上的装饰脱下来.

33:7 And Moses took the tent and pitched it outside the camp far from the camp, and he called it the tent of assembly, and all seeking Yahweh would go out to the tent of assembly, which was outside the camp.
摩西一向把会幕支搭在营外, 离营远些; 摩西称它为会幕. 凡是寻求耶和华的, 就出到营外的会幕那里去.

耶和华与摩西面对面说话, 好像人对朋友说话一样. 然后, 摩西回到营里去, 只有他的侍从, 一个少年人, 就是嫩的儿子约书亚, 不离开会幕.

33:12 And Moses said to Yahweh, “See, you are saying to me, ‘Take this people up.’ But you have not let me know whom you will send with me, and you yourself have said, ‘I know you by name, and you also have found favor in my eyes.’
摩西对耶和华说: “看, 你吩咐我说: ‘把这百姓领上去’, 可是你却没有让我知道你要差派谁与我同去; 只是你曾经说过: ‘我按着你的名字认识你, 你在我眼前也蒙了恩. ’

33:13 And now if I have found favor in your eyes, make known to me, please, your way, and so I may know you so that I can find favor in your eyes. And see that this nation is your people.”
现在我若是在你眼前蒙恩, 求你把你的道路指示我, 使我可以认识你, 可以在你眼前蒙恩; 也求你想到这民族是你的人民. ”

33:14 And he said, “My presence will go, and I will give you rest.”
耶和华说: “我必亲自与你同去, 也必给你安息. ”

33:15 And he said to him, “If your presence is not going, do not bring us up from here.
摩西对他说: “你若是不亲自与我们同去, 就不要把我们从这里领上去.

33:16 And by what will it be known then that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us? And so we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the ground.”
人在什么事上可以知道我和你的人民在你眼前蒙恩呢? 不是因为你与我们同去, 使我和你的人民可以和地上所有的人有分别吗? ”

33:17 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Also I will do this thing that you have spoken, because you have found favor in my eyes and I have known you by name.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你所说的这件事我也要作, 因为你在我眼前蒙恩, 并且我按着你的名字认识了你. ”

33:18 And he said, “Please show me your glory.”
摩西说: “求你给我看看你的荣耀. ”

33:19 And he said, “I myself will cause all my goodness to pass over before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.”
耶和华说: “我要使我的一切美善都在你面前经过, 并且要把我的名字耶和华在你面前宣告出来; 我要恩待谁, 就恩待谁; 我要怜悯谁, 就怜悯谁. ”

33:20 But he said, “You are not able to see my face, because a human will not see me and live.”
他又说: “你不能看我的脸, 因为没有人看见了我还能活着. ”

33:21 And Yahweh said, “There is a place with me, and you will stand on the rock.

我的荣耀经过的时候, 我要把你放在磐石隙中, 我要用我的手掌遮盖你, 直到我过去了.

33:23 And I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be visible.”
然后, 我要收回我的手掌, 你就会看见我的背后, 却不能看见我的脸. ”

Exodus - Chapter 34

34:1 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
耶和华对摩西说: “你要凿出两块石版, 好像先前的一样, 我要把先前写在你摔碎了的石版上的字写在这两块石版上.

早晨之前, 你要预备好了; 到早晨的时候, 你要上到西奈山来, 在山顶上站在我面前.

耶和华在摩西面前经过, 并且宣告说: “耶和华, 耶和华, 是有怜悯有恩典的神, 不轻易发怒, 并且有丰盛的慈爱和诚实,

34:7 keeping loyal love to the thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and he does not leave utterly unpunished, punishing the guilt of fathers on sons and on sons of sons on third and fourth generations.”

34:8 And Moses hurried and knelt down to the earth and worshiped.
摩西急忙俯首在地敬拜,

34:9 And he said, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, Lord, let my Lord, please, go among us—indeed it is a stiff-necked people—and forgive our iniquity and our sin and take us as your possession.”
说: “主啊, 我若是在你眼前蒙恩, 求我主与我们同行, 因为这是硬着颈项的人民. 又求你赦免我们的罪孽和我们的罪恶, 把我们当作你的产业. ”

34:10 And he said, “Look, I am about to make a covenant. In front of all your people I will do wonders that have not been created on all the earth and among all the nations, and all the people among whom you are will see Yahweh’s work, because what I am about to do with you will be awesome.
耶和华说: “看哪, 我要立约, 我要在你全体的人民面前作奇妙的事, 是在全地万国中没有行过的. 在你四周的万民都必看见耶和华的作为, 因为我向你所行的是可畏惧的事.

我今天吩咐你的, 你务要遵守. 看哪, 我要把亚摩利人,迦南人,赫人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人, 从你面前赶逐出去.

34:12 Be careful for yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, lest it be a snare among you.
你要小心, 不可与你所去的那地的居民立约, 恐怕这事在你中间成为陷阱.

34:13 Rather, you will tear down their altars, and you will break their stone pillars, and you will cut off their Asherah poles.
他们的祭坛你们却要拆毁, 他们的柱像你们要打碎, 他们的亚舍拉你们要砍下.

34:14 For you will not bow in worship to another god, for ‘Yahweh Is Jealous’ is his name, he is a jealous God,
你不可敬拜别的神, 因为耶和华是忌邪的神, 他名为忌邪者.

34:15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they prostitute themselves after their gods, and they sacrifice to their gods, and they invite you, and you eat their sacrifice,
恐怕你与那地的居民立约, 他们随从自己的神行邪淫, 给自己的神献祭的时候, 有人叫你, 你就吃他的祭物;

34:16 and you take from their daughters for your sons, and their daughters prostitute themselves after their gods, and they cause your sons to prostitute themselves after their gods.

凡是头胎的都是我的; 你的牲畜中, 无论是牛或羊, 凡是公的和头生的, 都是我的.

34:20 But the first offspring of a donkey you will redeem with small livestock, and if you will not redeem it, you will break its neck. Every firstborn of your sons you will redeem, and you will not appear before me empty-handed.
头生的驴, 你要用羊代赎, 如果不代赎, 就要打断它的颈项. 你所有头胎的儿子, 你都要代赎出来. 没有人可以空手见我.

34:21 Six days you will work, and on the seventh day you will rest; in the time of plowing and in the time of harvest you will rest.
“你六日要工作, 但第七天你要休息, 在耕种和收割的时候, 也要休息.

34:22 And you yourself will observe the Feast of Weeks—the firstfruits of the wheat harvest—and the Feast of Harvest Gathering at the turn of the year.
在收割初熟麦子的时候, 你要守七七节; 在年底, 你要过收割节.

34:23 Three times in the year all your males will appear before the Lord, Yahweh, the God of Israel,
你所有的男子, 都要一年三次去见主耶和华以色列的神.

34:24 because I will evict nations before you, and I will enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh your God three times in the year.
我要把列国从你面前赶出去, 扩张你的境界; 你一年三次上去面见耶和华你的神的时候, 必没有人贪图你的地.

34:25 “You will not slaughter the blood of my sacrifice on food with yeast, and the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover will not stay overnight to the morning.
“你不可把我祭物的血和有酵的饼一同献上, 逾越节的祭物也不可留到早晨.

34:26 The beginning of the firstfruits of your land you will bring to the house of Yahweh your God. You will not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
你要把你地里最早生产的初熟之物送到耶和华你的神的殿里. 不可用羊羔母的奶去煮羊羔. ”

34:27 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Write for yourself these words, because according to these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要把这些话写上, 因为我是按着这些话与你和以色列人立约的. ”

34:28 And he was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights. He ate no food and drank no water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.
摩西在那里与耶和华在一起共四十昼夜, 不吃饭, 也不喝水. 他把这约的话写在两块版上, 这就是十诫.

34:29 And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony were in the hand of Moses at his coming down from the mountain; and Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with him.
摩西从西奈山下来的时候, 手里拿着两块法版; 摩西从山上下来的时候, 不知道自己的脸皮因为与耶和华谈过话而发光.

34:30 And Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, and, to their amazement, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid of coming near to him.

摩西叫他们过来, 于是, 亚伦和会众中所有的首领才回到摩西那里去, 摩西就与他们谈话.

34:32 And afterward all the Israelites came near, and he commanded them all that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
以后, 全体以色列人都近前来, 摩西就把耶和华在西奈山上与他所说的一切话都吩咐他们.

34:33 And Moses finished speaking with them, and he put a veil on his face.
摩西和他们说完了话, 就用帕子蒙上自己的脸.

34:34 And when Moses came before Yahweh to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he went out, and he would go out and would speak to the Israelites what he had been commanded.
每逢摩西进到耶和华面前与他谈话的时候, 就把帕子揭去, 直到他出来. 他出来了, 就把耶和华吩咐他的对以色列人说.

34:35 And the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses shone, and Moses would put back the veil on his face until his coming to speak with him.
以色列人看见摩西的脸, 见他的脸皮发光. 摩西再用帕子蒙上自己的脸, 直到他进去和耶和华说话为止.

Exodus - Chapter 36

比撒列和亚何利亚伯, 以及心里有智慧的, 就是蒙耶和华赐与智慧与聪明, 使他们知道怎样制造供圣所使用的一切工程的人, 都照着耶和华吩咐的一切去作.

36:6 And Moses commanded, and they proclaimed the message in the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution.” And so the people were restrained from bringing.
于是摩西下令, 他们就在营中宣告, 说: “无论男女都不必再为圣所的工程奉献什么礼物. ”这样, 人民才被拦阻, 不送什么礼物来.

36:7 And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.
因为所有的材料够作一切工程, 而且有余.

36:8 And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman.
在作这工程的人中, 凡是心里有智慧的, 用十幅幔子作帐幕; 这些幔子是用捻的细麻,蓝色紫色朱红色线做的, 并且用设计的巧工绣上基路伯.

祭司要穿上细麻布外袍, 又把细麻布裤子穿在身上; 他要把祭坛上燔祭烧成的灰收起来, 放在祭坛旁边;

6:11 And he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and he shall bring out the fatty ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place,
然后脱去这些衣服, 穿上别的衣服, 把灰拿出营外洁净的地方.

6:12 but the fire on the altar must be kept burning on it; it must not be quenched. And the priest must burn wood every morning on it, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it, and he shall turn into smoke the fat portions of the fellowship offerings on it.
祭坛上的火, 应常常烧着, 不可熄灭; 每天早晨, 祭司要在上面烧柴, 把燔祭排列在坛上, 又在上面焚烧平安祭的脂肪.

6:13 A perpetual fire must be kept burning on the altar; it must not be quenched.
火必须不断在祭坛上烧着, 不可熄灭.

6:14 “ ‘And this is the regulation of the grain offering. Aaron’s sons shall present it before Yahweh in front of the altar,
“素祭的律例是这样: 亚伦的子孙要在耶和华面前的祭坛前献素祭.

6:15 and he in his fist shall take away from it some of the grain offering’s finely milled flour, and some of its oil and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he shall turn into smoke its token portion on the altar as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh.
从其中取出一把作素祭的细面,油, 和在素祭上所有的乳香, 焚烧在祭坛上献给耶和华为馨香的祭, 作供物的象征.

6:16 And Aaron and his sons must eat the remainder of it; they must eat it as unleavened bread in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard they must eat it.
亚伦和他的子孙要吃剩余的祭物, 在圣洁的地方作无酵饼吃; 他们要在会幕的院子里吃.

6:17 It must not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their share from my offerings made by fire. It is a most holy thing, like the sin offering and like the guilt offering.
烤饼的时候, 不可加酵. 这是我从献给我的火祭中, 赐给他们的分, 是至圣的, 与赎罪祭和赎愆祭一样.

6:18 Every male among Aaron’s sons may eat it as a lasting rule among your generations from the offerings made by fire belonging to Yahweh. Anything that touches them will become holy.’ ”
亚伦的子孙中的男丁, 都要从献给耶和华的火祭中吃这些祭物; 这是你们世世代代永远的律例. 人接触过这些祭物, 必成为圣. ”

6:19 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

6:20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons that they shall present to Yahweh on the day of his being anointed: a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a perpetual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
“亚伦和他的子孙, 在受膏的日子要献给耶和华的供物, 就是一公斤的细面, 作常献的素祭, 早晨献一半, 晚上献一半.

6:21 It must be made in oil on a flat baking pan; you must bring it well-mixed; you must present pieces of a grain offering’s baked goods as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh.
你要把这些细面在煎盘上用油调和作饼, 烘(“烘”一词原意不明, 有译本作“擘成块”)好了, 你就拿进来; 将擘成碎块的素祭献上, 献给耶和华为馨香的祭.

6:22 And the anointed priest taking his place from among his sons must do it. As a lasting rule, it must be turned into smoke totally for Yahweh.
亚伦的子孙继承他作受膏立的祭司的, 都要献这素祭, 把它完全焚烧, 献给耶和华, 作永远的律例.

6:23 And every grain offering of a priest must be a whole burnt offering; it must not be eaten.”
凡是祭司献的素祭都要完全焚烧, 不可以吃. ”

6:24 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

6:25 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the sin offering: In the place where the sin offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered before Yahweh; it is a most holy thing.
“你要告诉亚伦和他的儿子: 赎罪祭的律例是这样: 赎罪祭牲应在宰杀燔祭牲的地方, 在耶和华面前宰杀, 这是至圣的.

6:26 The priest who offers the sin offering must eat it in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard.
献这赎罪祭的祭司要吃这祭牲; 在会幕院子里的圣洁地方吃.

6:27 Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and when some of its blood spatters on a garment, what was spattered on it you shall wash in a holy place.
接触过这祭肉的, 必成为圣. 沾了祭牲的血, 必须清理; 血溅在衣服上, 应该在圣洁的地方洗净,

6:28 And a clay vessel in which it was boiled must be broken, but if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be thoroughly scoured and rinsed with water.
煮祭物的瓦器却要打碎; 如果煮祭物的是铜器, 只需用水冲洗.

6:29 Any male among the priests may eat it; it is a most holy thing.
祭司家中的男丁, 都可以吃祭肉; 这是至圣的.

6:30 But any sin offering from which some of its blood is brought to the tent of assembly to make atonement in the sanctuary must not be eaten; it must be burned in the fire.’ ”
但是任何赎罪祭, 如果它的血带进了会幕在圣所内进行赎罪, 祭肉就不可吃; 必须用火烧尽. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 7

7:1 “ ‘And this is the regulation of the guilt offering; it is a most holy thing.
“赎愆祭的律例是这样: 这祭是至圣的.

7:2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, they must slaughter the guilt offering, and he must sprinkle its blood upon the altar all around.
人在什么地方宰杀燔祭牲, 就要在那里宰杀赎愆祭牲, 它的血要泼在祭坛的四周.

7:3 And he must present all of its fat: the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts,
祭司要把祭牲的一切脂肪都献上, 就是肥尾巴和遮盖内脏的脂肪,

7:4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys.
以及两个肾,肾上近腰旁的脂肪和肾旁的肝叶, 一起取下.

7:5 And the priest shall turn it into smoke it on the altar as a food offering made by fire for Yahweh; it is a guilt offering.
然后把这些焚烧在祭坛上, 作献给耶和华的火祭, 这是赎愆祭.

7:6 Every male among the priests may eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place; it is a most holy thing.
祭司家中的男丁, 都可以吃祭牲的肉, 要在圣洁的地方吃; 这是至圣的.

7:7 The instruction is the same for the guilt offering as for the sin offering; it belongs to the priest, who makes atonement with it.
赎罪祭怎样, 赎愆祭也怎样; 两个祭的律例相同;

7:8 “ ‘And the priest who presents a person’s burnt offering, to that priest belongs the skin of the burnt offering that he presented.
祭物要归主持赎罪的祭司, 祭司替人献燔祭, 祭牲的皮要归献燔祭的祭司.

7:9 And every grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in a cooking pan or on a flat baking pan belongs to the priest who presented it.
一切在炉里烤的, 或在浅锅里或在煎盘上做的素祭, 都要归给那献祭的祭司.

一切用油调和, 或是干的素祭, 都要归给亚伦所有的子孙, 大家均分.

7:11 “ ‘And this is the regulation of the fellowship offerings that he must present to Yahweh:
“献给耶和华的平安祭的律例是这样:

7:12 If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice he shall present ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil and unleavened bread wafers smeared with oil and well-mixed ring-shaped bread cakes of finely milled flour mixed with oil.
人若是为感恩献祭, 就要用调油的无酵饼和抹了油的无酵薄饼, 以及用油调和了细面做的饼, 与感恩祭一同献上.

7:13 In addition to ring-shaped cakes of bread with yeast, he must present his grain offering together with his sacrifice of thanksgiving peace offerings.
他要把他的供物, 连同有酵的饼, 跟那为感恩而献的平安祭, 一起献上.

7:14 And he shall present one of each kind of grain offering as a contribution for Yahweh; it belongs to the priest who sprinkles the fellowship offerings’ blood.
他要从各物中, 取出一个饼作为举祭, 献给耶和华, 归给那泼平安祭牲之血的祭司.

7:15 And the meat of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving fellowship offerings must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not leave it until morning.
“为感恩而献的平安祭的肉, 只能在献祭那日吃, 一点也不可留到早晨.

7:16 “ ‘But if his sacrifice is for a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be eaten on the day of his presenting his sacrifice, and on the next day the remainder from it may be eaten,
他献的供物若是还愿祭, 或是甘心祭, 献祭那日可以吃; 剩下的, 第二天也可以吃.

7:17 but the remainder from the sacrifice’s meat must be burned up in the fire on the third day.
还剩下的祭肉, 到了第三天, 就要用火烧掉.

7:18 And if indeed some of the meat of his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; it will not be considered of benefit for the one who presented it—it shall be unclean meat, and the person who eats it shall bear his guilt.
如果在第三天吃平安祭的肉, 必不蒙悦纳, 他献上的也不再算为祭, 因为祭肉已经成为不洁; 吃这肉的人, 必担当自己的罪责.

7:19 And the meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned with fire, and as for the clean meat, anyone who is clean may eat the meat.
“祭肉若是接触了任何不洁, 就不可以吃, 要用火烧掉. 洁净的人才可以吃祭肉;

7:20 And the person who eats meat from the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, and whose uncleanness is upon him—that person shall be cut off from his people.
身上不洁净的人吃了献与耶和华的平安祭的祭肉, 那人必从自己的族人中被剪除.

7:21 And when a person touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean detestable thing, and he eats from the meat of the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, then that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
人若是摸了任何不洁, 或是人的污秽, 或是牲畜的污秽, 或是任何不洁净的可憎之物, 然后吃献给耶和华的平安祭的肉, 那人必从自己的族人中被剪除. ”

7:22 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

7:23 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘You must not eat any fat of ox, or sheep, or goat;
“你要告诉以色列人说: 所有公牛,绵羊或是山羊的脂肪, 你们都不可吃.

7:24 and a dead body’s fat or mangled carcass’s fat may be used for any purpose, but you certainly must not eat it.
自死的或被野兽撕裂的动物的脂肪, 可以作别的用途, 只是你们决不可吃.

7:25 When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, then that person who ate shall be cut off from his people.
因为无论何人吃了献给耶和华为火祭的牲畜的脂肪, 那吃的人就必从自己的族人中被剪除.

7:26 And in any of your dwellings, you must not eat any blood belonging to birds or domestic animals.
在你们的一切住处, 任何血, 无论是飞鸟或是牲畜的, 你们都不可吃.

7:27 Any person who eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
无论谁吃了什么血, 那人必从自己的族人中被剪除. ”

7:28 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

7:29 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘The one who presents his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.
“你要告诉以色列人: 向耶和华献平安祭的, 必须从他的平安祭中取出奉给耶和华的供物.

7:30 His own hands must bring Yahweh’s offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh,
亲手把献给耶和华的火祭带来, 就是把脂肪连胸带来, 在耶和华面前摇一摇, 作为摇祭.

7:31 and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his sons.
祭司要把脂肪焚烧在祭坛上, 胸归给亚伦和他的子孙.

7:32 And the right upper thigh you must give as a contribution for the priest from your fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.
你们要从平安祭牲中, 拿右后腿来作举祭, 奉给祭司.

7:33 As for the one from Aaron’s sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh shall belong to him as his share,
亚伦的子孙中, 谁献平安祭牲的血和脂肪, 右后腿就归给他, 是他的分.

7:34 because I have taken the wave offering’s breast section and the contribution offering’s upper thigh from the Israelites out of their fellowship offerings’ sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons from the Israelites as a lasting rule.’ ”
因为我从以色列人的平安祭中, 取出了这摇祭的胸和举祭的后腿, 给亚伦祭司和他的子孙, 成为以色列人中永远的律例.

7:35 This is Aaron’s allotted portion and his sons’ allotted portion from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire when he brought them forward to serve as priests for Yahweh.
“这是亚伦和他子孙, 从奉献他们作耶和华的祭司那日开始, 受膏立应得的分.

7:36 This is what Yahweh commanded to give them from the Israelites on the day of his anointing them; it is a lasting statute for their generations.
就是耶和华膏立他们的时候, 命令以色列人给他们的. 这是世世代代永远的律例. ”

7:37 This is the regulation for the burnt offering, for the grain offering and for the sin offering and for the guilt offering and for the consecration offering and for the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice,
以上关于燔祭,素祭,赎罪祭,赎愆祭,承受圣职祭和平安祭的律例,

7:38 which Yahweh commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day of his commanding the Israelites to present their offerings to Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.
都是耶和华在西奈山吩咐摩西的, 就是他在西奈的旷野吩咐以色列人, 把他们的供物献给耶和华的时候所说的.

Leviticus - Chapter 8

8:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of the unleavened bread,
“你要把亚伦和他的儿子, 连同圣衣,膏油,赎罪祭的一头公牛,两只公绵羊, 一篮无酵饼都带来,

8:3 and summon all of the community to the entrance to the tent of assembly.”
又要召集全体会众到会幕门口那里. ”

8:4 So Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to the tent of assembly.
于是摩西照着耶和华命令他的去行, 会众就聚集到会幕门口那里.

8:5 Then Moses said to the community, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”
摩西对会众说: “这是耶和华吩咐我作的事. ”

8:6 So Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water.
摩西领亚伦和他的儿子来, 用水给他们洗身.

8:7 Then he put the tunic on him and tied the sash around him; then he clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; then he tied the ephod’s waistband around him and fastened the ephod to him with it.
然后给亚伦穿上内袍, 束上腰带, 穿上外袍, 又加上以弗得, 用巧工织成的以弗得带子束上, 把以弗得系在他身上.

8:8 Then he placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece;
又给他佩上胸牌, 把乌陵和土明放在胸牌里面,

8:9 and he placed the turban on his head, and on the front of the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

摩西取膏油, 抹了帐幕和其中所有的东西, 使它们分别为圣.

8:11 And he spattered part of it on the altar seven times—thus he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.
又七次弹膏油在祭坛上, 膏抹祭坛和祭坛的一切器皿, 以及洗濯盆和盆座, 使它们分别为圣.

他把赎罪祭的公牛牵来; 亚伦和他的儿子按手在赎罪祭的公牛的头上.

8:15 and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put it with his finger on the altar’s horns all around and purified the altar; then he poured the blood out on the altar’s base—thus he consecrated it in order to make atonement for it.
摩西就宰杀公牛, 取了血, 用指头抹祭坛四角的周围, 洁净祭坛, 其余的血倒在祭坛脚那里, 使祭坛成圣, 为坛赎罪.

8:16 Then he took all the fat that was on the inner parts and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned them into smoke on the altar,
摩西取出内脏上所有的脂肪,肾旁的肝叶,两个肾和肾上的脂肪, 焚烧在祭坛上.

至于那公牛, 它的皮,肉和粪, 都要在营外用火烧掉, 都是照着耶和华吩咐摩西的.

8:21 but he washed the inner parts and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
又用水洗净了内脏和腿之后, 摩西就把整个公绵羊焚烧在祭坛上; 这是燔祭, 是献给耶和华馨香的火祭, 都是耶和华吩咐摩西的.

8:22 Then he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head,
他又把第二只公绵羊牵来, 就是承受圣职所献的公绵羊; 亚伦和他的儿子按手在公绵羊的头上;

又从在耶和华面前的无酵饼篮子里, 取出一个无酵饼,一个油饼和一个薄饼, 都放在脂肪和右后腿上;

他把这一切都放在亚伦手上和他儿子手上, 在耶和华面前摇一摇作为摇祭.

然后, 摩西从他们的手上接过来, 焚烧在祭坛的燔祭上; 这些是承受圣职祭, 是献给耶和华馨香的火祭.

摩西拿了一些膏油和祭坛上的血, 弹在亚伦和他的衣服上, 以及他儿子和他们的衣服上; 这样就使亚伦和他的衣服, 他的儿子和他们的衣服都分别为圣.

8:31 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat in the entrance to the tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration offering, just as I have commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons must eat it,’
摩西对亚伦和他的儿子说: “你们要在会幕门口煮祭肉, 也在那里吃祭肉和承受圣职祭篮子里的饼, 照着我的吩咐, 亚伦和他的儿子要吃这些.

8:32 but the remainder of the meat and the bread you must burn in the fire.
剩下来的肉和饼, 你们要用火烧掉.

8:33 And you must not go out from the entrance to the tent of assembly for seven days, until the day of fulfilling the days of your consecration, because it will take seven days to ordain you.
七天之内, 你们不可出会幕的门口, 直到你们承受圣职礼的日子满了, 因为主要用这七天使你们承受圣职(“使你们承受圣职”原文作“他充满你们的手”).

8:34 Just as was done on this day, Yahweh commanded to be done in order to make atonement for you.
今天所行的, 是照耶和华的吩咐而行, 为你们赎罪.

8:35 And you must stay at the entrance to the tent of assembly day and night for seven days, and you shall keep the obligation from Yahweh, so you might not die, for thus I have been commanded.”

9:1 Then on the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and Israel’s elders,
到了第八天, 摩西把亚伦和他的儿子, 以及以色列的众长老都召了来;

9:2 and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a bull calf as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without defect, and present them before Yahweh.
摩西对亚伦说: “你要取一头公牛犊来作赎罪祭, 一只公绵羊作燔祭, 两样都要没有残疾的; 献在耶和华的面前.

你也要告诉以色列人: 你们要取一只公山羊作赎罪祭, 又取一头一岁的牛犊和一只一岁的绵羊羔作燔祭, 两样都要没有残疾的;

于是他们把摩西所吩咐的, 带到会幕前面; 全体会众都走近来, 站在耶和华的面前.

9:6 Then Moses said, “This is the word that Yahweh commanded you to do so that the glory of Yahweh might appear to you.”
摩西说: “这是耶和华吩咐你们的事, 你们要照着行, 耶和华的荣耀就要向你们显现. ”

9:7 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. And sacrifice the people’s offering and make atonement for them, just as Yahweh has commanded.”
然后摩西对亚伦说: “走到祭坛那里, 献上你的赎罪祭和燔祭, 为自己和人民赎罪; 又献上人民的供物, 按着耶和华的吩咐, 为他们赎罪. ”

9:8 Then Aaron approached the altar, and he slaughtered the bull calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
于是亚伦走近祭坛, 宰杀那为自己献的赎罪祭牛犊.

9:9 Then Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and he put it on the altar’s horns, and he poured out the blood on the altar’s base.
亚伦的儿子奉上血, 他就把手指蘸在血里, 抹在祭坛的四角上, 把剩下的血倒在祭坛脚那里;

9:13 and they brought the burnt offering to him by its pieces, as well as the head, and he turned them into smoke on the altar;

9:14 and he washed the inner parts and the lower leg bones, then he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar.
亚伦又洗净了内脏和腿, 在祭坛的燔祭上焚烧.

9:15 Then he presented the people’s offering, and he took the goat of the sin offering, which was for the people, and he slaughtered it and offered it as a sin offering like the first one.
他把人民的供物献上, 又把那为人民作赎罪祭的公山羊牵来, 宰杀了, 献为赎罪祭, 和先前献的一样.

然后他按着规则献上燔祭,

9:17 Then he presented the grain offering, and he filled his palm with some of it, and he turned it into smoke on the altar besides the morning’s burnt offering.
又献上素祭, 从其中取了满满的一把, 在祭坛上焚烧. 这是在早晨的燔祭以外的.

亚伦又宰杀了那为人民作平安祭的公牛和公绵羊; 亚伦的儿子把血递给他, 泼在祭坛的周围.

9:19 And as for the fat portions from the ox and from the ram (the fat tail and the layer of fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver),
他们又把公牛和公绵羊的脂肪,肥尾巴,遮盖内脏的脂肪,两个肾和肝叶,

9:20 they placed the fat portions on the breast sections, and he turned the fat portions into smoke on the altar.

9:21 Then Aaron waved the breast sections and the right upper thigh as a wave offering before Yahweh, just as Moses had commanded.
至于胸和右后腿, 亚伦拿来作摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇; 都是照着摩西吩咐的.

亚伦向众人举起手, 为他们祝福; 他献了赎罪祭,燔祭和平安祭, 就下来.

摩西和亚伦进了会幕, 出来就为众人祝福; 耶和华的荣耀向众民显现.

有火从耶和华面前出来, 烧尽了祭坛上的燔祭和脂肪; 众民看见了, 就大声欢呼, 俯伏在地.

Leviticus - Chapter 10

10:1 And Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer, and they put fire in them and placed incense on it; then they presented before Yahweh illegitimate fire, which he had not commanded them.
亚伦的儿子拿答和亚比户各拿着自己的香炉, 盛上火, 加上香, 在耶和华面前献上平常的火, 是耶和华没有命令他们献的.

10:2 So fire went out from before Yahweh, and it consumed them so that they died before Yahweh.
那时有火从耶和华面前出来, 把他们烧灭, 他们就死在耶和华面前.

10:3 Therefore Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke, saying, ‘Among those who are close to me I will show myself holy, and in the presence of all the people I will display my glory.’ ” So Aaron was silent.
于是摩西对亚伦说: “这就是耶和华曾经告诉我们的, 他说: ‘在亲近我的人中, 我要显为圣, 在众人面前, 我要得荣耀. ’”亚伦就默然无语.

10:4 Then Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and he said to them, “Come forward. Carry your brothers from the front of the sanctuary to outside the camp.”
摩西把亚伦叔父乌薛的儿子米沙利和以利撒反召了来, 对他们说: “你们上前来, 把你们的兄弟从圣所前抬到营外去. ”

10:5 So they came forward, and they carried them outside the camp in their tunics, just as Moses had ordered.
于是二人走近来, 照着摩西的吩咐, 把他们连同他们的衣服抬到营外去.

10:6 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “You must not let your hair hang loosely, and you must not tear your garments, so that you will not die and he will be angry with all the community. But your brothers, all the house of Israel, may weep because of the burning that Yahweh caused,
摩西对亚伦和他的儿子以利亚撒和以他玛说: “你们不要披头散发, 不可撕裂你们的衣服, 免得你们死亡, 又免得耶和华向全体会众发怒. 你们的亲族, 以色列全家, 却要为耶和华所烧死的人哀哭(“要为耶和华......哀哭”或译: “要为耶和华所燃起的焚烧哀哭”).

10:7 but you must not go out from the entrance to the tent of assembly lest you die, because Yahweh’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did according to Moses’ word.
你们也不可走出会幕的门口, 免得你们死亡, 因为耶和华的膏油在你们身上. ”他们就照着摩西的话行.

10:8 Then Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,
耶和华对亚伦说:

10:9 “You and your sons with you may not drink wine or strong drink when you come to the tent of assembly, so that you will not die—it is a lasting statute for your generations—
“你和你的儿子一起进会幕的时候, 淡酒烈酒都不可喝, 免得你们死亡, 这要作你们世世代代永远的律例;

10:10 and to distinguish between the holy and the unholy, as well as between the unclean and the clean,
使你们可以把圣的和俗的, 洁净的和不洁净的, 分辨清楚;

10:11 and to teach the Israelites all the rules that Yahweh has spoken to them through Moses.”
可以把耶和华借着摩西告诉以色列人的一切律例, 教训他们. ”

10:12 Then Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “As for the remaining parts, take the remainder of the grain offering from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire and eat it, the unleavened bread, beside the altar, because it is a most holy thing.
摩西对亚伦和他剩下的儿子以利亚撒和以他玛说: “献给耶和华的火祭中剩下的素祭, 你们要拿来在祭坛旁边作无酵饼吃, 因为这是至圣的.

10:13 And you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire, for so I have been commanded.
你们要在圣洁的地方吃, 在献与耶和华的火祭中, 这是你和你儿子的分, 因为耶和华是这样吩咐我.

10:14 And the wave offering’s breast section and the upper thigh of the contribution offering you must eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, because they are given as your allotted portion and your sons’ allotted portion from the sacrifices of the Israelites’ fellowship offerings.
至于作摇祭的胸和作举祭的后腿, 你们也要在洁净的地方吃, 你和你的儿女要一起吃, 这是从以色列人献的平安祭中, 给你和你儿子的分.

10:15 They must bring the thigh of the contribution offering and the breast section of the wave offering in addition to the offerings made by fire, consisting of the fat portions, to wave as a wave offering before Yahweh; and it will be for you and for your sons with you as a lasting rule, just as Yahweh had commanded.”
至于作举祭的后腿, 作摇祭的胸, 他们要与火祭的脂肪一同带来, 当作摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇. 这都要归给你和与你在一起的儿子, 当作永远的律例, 都是照着耶和华所吩咐的. ”

10:16 Then Moses sought all over for the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So he was angry with Aaron’s remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,
那时, 摩西急切地寻找那作赎罪祭的公山羊, 发现已经烧了; 他就向亚伦剩下的儿子以利亚撒和以他玛发怒, 说:

10:17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering on the sanctuary’s site, because it is a most holy thing? And he gave it to you to remove the community’s guilt, to make atonement for them before Yahweh.
“这赎罪祭是至圣的, 耶和华又把祭肉给你们, 要叫你们担当会众的罪孽, 在耶和华面前为他们赎罪, 你们为什么没有在圣洁的地方吃呢?

10:18 Look, its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary. Certainly you should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
这祭牲的血既然没有带进圣所里去, 你们就应该照着我所吩咐的, 在圣所里吃这祭肉. ”

10:19 So Aaron said to Moses, “Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh, and things such as these have happened to me, and if I were to eat a sin offering today, would it have been good in Yahweh’s eyes?”
亚伦对摩西说: “今天他们在耶和华面前已经献了赎罪祭和燔祭, 而且有这样的灾祸临到我; 如果今天我吃了赎罪祭的祭肉, 耶和华怎能看为美好呢? ”

10:20 When Moses heard, it was good in his eyes.
摩西听了, 也觉得合理.

“无论男女, 如果在头上或是胡须上受到感染,

13:30 then the priest shall examine the infection, and if its appearance is deeper than the skin and in it is thin bright red hair, then the priest shall declare it unclean—it is a diseased area of skin; it is an infectious skin disease of the head or the beard.
祭司要察看那病; 如果发现有深透皮肤的现象, 而且还有黄色细毛, 祭司就要宣布他为不洁净, 这是癞痢, 是头上或是胡须上的痲风病.

但是头顶秃处或是额前秃处, 若有白中带红的病症, 这就是痲风病, 在他的头顶秃处或是额前处发作.

13:43 So the priest shall examine him, and if the infection’s swelling is pinkish on his bald spot or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of an infectious skin disease on the body,
祭司就要察看, 如果发现在他头顶秃处或是额前秃处, 有白中带红的浮肿病症, 像皮肉上痲风病的现象,

不论是编结的或是纺织的; 是麻布的或是羊毛的; 是皮子或是皮子做成的任何物件;

13:49 and if the infection is yellowish green or reddish on the garment or on the leather or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object, it is an infectious skin disease and it shall be shown to the priest.

祭司就要吩咐人把它洗净, 然后再隔离七天.

13:55 And the priest shall examine it after the infection has been washed off, and if the infection has not changed its outward appearance and the infection has not spread, it is unclean; he must burn it in the fire; it is a fungus on its back or on its front.
洗净以后, 祭司要察看; 如果看见那病症没有转变, 虽然没有蔓延, 那物件仍是不洁净; 要用火把它烧掉, 因为里外都腐蚀了.

13:56 But if the priest examines it and if the infection is faded after it has been washed off, then he shall tear it from the garment or from the leather or from the woven material or from the fabric.
“但如果祭司察看的时候, 看见它洗净以后, 色泽暗淡了, 就要把那部分从衣服或是皮子,编结物或纺织物上撕下来.

如果病症离开了, 经过洗净, 剩下的衣服, 无论编结的或是纺织的, 或任何皮子做的物件, 只要再洗一次, 就洁净了. ”

13:59 This is the regulation of the infectious skin disease in the wool garment or the linen or the woven material or the fabric or any leather object to declare it clean or to declare it unclean.
以上是与羊毛衣服或是麻布衣服,编结的或纺织的或任何皮子做的物件有关的发霉律例, 可以断定洁净, 或是不洁净.

“你要告诉你的哥哥亚伦, 不可随时进入圣所的幔子里面, 到约柜上的施恩座, 免得他死亡, 因为我在施恩座上的彩云中显现.

Leviticus - Chapter 17

17:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

17:2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites, and you shall say to them, ‘This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying,
“你要告诉亚伦和他的儿子, 以及以色列人, 对他们说: 这是耶和华的吩咐:

17:3 “Any man from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox or a sheep or a goat in the camp or who slaughters it outside the camp
以色列家的任何人, 不论在营内, 或在营外, 宰杀公牛,绵羊或山羊,

17:4 and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly’s entrance to present an offering to Yahweh before Yahweh’s tabernacle, then that man shall be accounted bloodguilty—he has poured out blood, and that man shall be cut off from the midst of his people.
而不牵到会幕门口, 耶和华的帐幕面前, 献给耶和华作供物, 流血的罪就要归到那人身上; 他既然流了牲畜的血, 就必从自己的族人中被剪除.

17:5 This is so that the Israelites may bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing in the open field and bring them for Yahweh to the tent of assembly’s entrance to the priest, and they shall sacrifice fellowship offerings for Yahweh with them.
这条例的目的是要以色列人把他们惯常在田野里宰杀的祭牲, 带去给耶和华, 到会幕门口交给祭司, 好像献给耶和华作平安祭那样宰杀牲畜.

17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh’s altar at the tent of assembly’s entrance, and he shall burn the fat as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.
祭司要把血泼在会幕门口耶和华的祭坛上, 把脂肪焚烧, 献给耶和华作馨香的祭.

17:7 And they may no longer sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat-idols after which they were prostituting. This is a lasting statute for them throughout their generations.” ’
他们不可再杀祭牲, 献给那些山羊, 就是他们所随从行邪淫的鬼神. 这要作他们世世代代永远的律例.

17:8 “And you shall say to them, ‘if there is anyone from the house of Israel or from the alien who dwells in their midst who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
“你要对他们说: 以色列家的任何人, 或是在你们中间寄居的外人, 献燔祭或是平安祭的时候,

17:9 and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly’s entrance to sacrifice it for Yahweh, then that man shall be cut off from his people.
如果不牵到会幕门口, 把它献给耶和华, 那人就必从自己的族人中被剪除.

17:10 And if there is anyone from the house of Israel or from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who eats any blood, then I will set my face against the person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people.
“以色列家的任何人, 或是在你们中间寄居的外人, 如果吃了任何血, 我必向那吃血的人变脸, 把他从自己的族人中剪除.

17:11 Indeed the flesh’s life is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives, because it is the blood with the life that makes atonement.
因为动物的生命是在血里, 我指定这祭坛上的血代替你们的生命, 因为血里有生命, 所以能代赎生命.

17:12 Therefore I said to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may the alien who is dwelling in your midst eat blood.’
所以我对以色列人说: 你们中间任何人都不可吃血, 在你们中间寄居的外人也不可吃血.

17:13 “And if there is anyone from the Israelites or from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who hunts a wild game animal or a bird that may be eaten, then he shall pour out its blood, and he shall cover it with the soil.
任何以色列人, 或是在你们中间寄居的外人中, 有人打猎得了可以吃的禽兽, 总要放尽它的血, 用泥土掩盖.

17:14 Indeed, the life of all flesh, its blood, is in its life, so I said to the Israelites, ‘You may not eat the blood of any flesh, because the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.’
“因为所有动物的生命就在它们的血中, 所以我对以色列人说: 任何动物的血, 你们都不可吃; 因为所有动物的血, 就是它的生命; 吃血的, 必被剪除.

17:15 “And if there is any person who eats a dead body or a mangled carcass, whether among the native or among the alien, then he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall be clean.
吃了自死的, 或是被野兽撕裂的动物, 无论是本地人或是寄居的, 都要洗净自己的衣服, 用水洗澡, 并且不洁净到晚上, 以后他才算洁净.

17:16 But if he does not wash his garments and he does not wash his body, then he shall bear his guilt.”
但是, 如果他不洗净衣服, 也不洗身, 他就要担当自己的罪责. ”

21:3 and for his sister, a virgin, who is closest to him, who has not had a husband—for her he may defile himself.

此外, 还有耶和华的安息日, 你们的供物, 你们的一切还愿祭和甘心献的祭, 这些是你们当献给耶和华的.

因为以色列人都是属我的仆人; 他们是我的仆人, 是我把他们从埃及地领了出来的; 我是耶和华你们的神. ”

“那时他们就会承认自己的罪孽和他们祖先的罪孽, 就是他们对我不忠的过犯, 又承认因为行事与我的心意相违,

26:41 I myself also went against them in hostility, and I brought them into the land of their enemies—or if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and then they pay for their guilt,
以致我也与他们作对, 把他们带到他们的仇敌之地. 如果他们未受割礼的心这样谦卑下来, 情愿接受他们罪孽的刑罚,

26:42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and I will remember also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
我就记念我与雅各所立的约, 记念我与以撒所立的约, 与亚伯拉罕所立的约; 我也记念这地.

他们会离开这地, 地在荒凉无人的时候, 就可以享受安息, 同时他们要接受他们罪孽的刑罚, 因为他们弃绝了我的典章, 他们的心厌弃了我的律例.

26:44 And in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies I will not reject them, and I will not abhor them to destroy them, to break my covenant with them, because I am Yahweh their God.
虽然这样, 他们住在仇敌之地的时候, 我还是不弃绝他们, 也不厌弃他们, 不把他们灭绝, 我不会违背我与他们所立的约; 因为我是耶和华他们的神.

26:45 And I will remember the first covenant for them—whom I brought out from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am Yahweh.’ ”
因为他们的缘故, 我要记念我与他们祖先所立的约; 他们的祖先是我在列国眼前, 从埃及地领出来的, 为要作他们的神; 我是耶和华. ”

26:46 These are the rules and the regulations and the laws that Yahweh gave between himself and the Israelites on Mount Sinai through Moses.
这些是耶和华在西奈山, 借着摩西颁布他和以色列人之间的律例,典章和法则.

Leviticus - Chapter 27

27:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

27:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When a man makes a vow according to your proper value of persons to Yahweh,
“你要告诉以色列人, 对他们说: 如果人许特别的愿, 献身给耶和华, 就要依照你的估价献身价.

27:3 if your proper value is for a male from twenty years of age up to sixty years of age, then your proper value shall be fifty shekels of money according to the sanctuary’s shekel.
你应该这样估价: 从二十岁到六十岁的男人, 你要按着圣所衡量银子的标准, 估价五百五十克银子.

27:4 But if it is for a female, then your proper value shall be thirty shekels.
如果是女人, 你要估价三百四十二克银子.

27:5 And if from five years of age up to twenty years of age, then your proper value shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.
如果是五岁到二十岁, 男子的估价是二百二十八克银子, 女子是一百一十四克银子.

如果是六十岁以上, 男子的估价是一百七十一克银子, 女子是一百一十四克银子.

27:8 But if he is poorer than your proper value, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value on him; the priest shall value him according to what the person who made a vow can afford.
那人若是贫穷, 不能支付你估定的价, 就要把他带到祭司面前, 让祭司估定他的价; 祭司就按着许愿的人的经济能力, 估定他的价.

27:9 “ ‘And if it is a domestic animal from which they present an offering for Yahweh, all that he gives from it for Yahweh shall be a holy object.
如果所许的是可以献给耶和华为供物的牲畜, 献给耶和华的任何牲畜, 都要分别为圣.

27:10 He shall not replace it, nor shall he exchange it, either good with bad or bad with good; and if he indeed exchanges a domestic animal with a domestic animal, then it and its substitution shall be a holy object.
不可更换, 也不可代替; 无论是好的换坏的, 或是坏的换好的, 都不可以. 如果人一定要以另一只牲畜代替以前所许的牲畜献上, 那么以前所许的和用来交换的, 都要分别为圣.

27:11 But if it is any unclean animal from which they may not present an offering for Yahweh, then he shall present the animal before the priest.
所许的若是不洁净的牲畜, 人不能把它献给耶和华为供物, 就是把牲畜牵到祭司面前;

27:12 And the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad; as the priest sets your proper value, so it shall be.
祭司要按牲畜的好坏估价; 祭司估价多少, 就是多少.

27:13 And if he indeed wants to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of it onto your proper value.
如果他一定要把牲畜赎回, 就要按你的估价, 多付五分之一.

27:14 “ ‘And if a man consecrates his house as a holy object for Yahweh, then the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad; just as the priest sets a value on it, so it shall remain.
“如果有人把房屋分别为圣献给耶和华, 祭司要按房屋的好坏估价, 祭司估价多少, 就定它价值多少.

27:15 But if the one who consecrates it wants to redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall be his.
把自己房屋分别为圣的人, 如果要赎回房屋, 就要按你估定的价银, 多加五分之一, 房屋才可以归他.

27:16 “ ‘And if a man consecrates some of his property’s fields for Yahweh, then your proper value shall be in accordance with its seed requirements: a homer of barley seed for fifty shekels of money.
“如果有人把自己产业的一部分, 分别为圣献给耶和华, 你的估价要根据那地的撒种量: 每撒大麦二十公斤, 估价五百七十克银子.

27:17 If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand as your proper value.
如果他从禧年起, 把自己的田地分别为圣, 就要按照你的估价定那田地的价值.

27:18 But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money for him according to the number of years that are left over until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your proper value.
如果他在禧年以后, 把自己的田地分别为圣, 祭司就要照着到下一个禧年所剩余的年数, 给他计算价银, 然后从你的估价减去这价银.

27:19 And if he indeed redeems the field that is consecrated, then he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall stand for him.
把自己田地分别为圣的人, 如果一定要赎回田地, 就要按你的估价, 多付五分之一, 田地才可以归他.

27:20 And if he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again,
如果他不赎回田地, 而卖给别人, 他就再也不能赎回田地了.

27:21 and the field shall be a holy object for Yahweh when it goes out in the Jubilee, like a devoted field; it shall be the priest’s property.
到了禧年, 买主就要交出那地归耶和华为圣, 像永属耶和华的圣地一样, 归祭司为产业.

27:22 “ ‘And if he consecrates for Yahweh his acquired field that is not the field of his inherited possession,
如果人把买来的田地, 不是自己承受为业的田地, 分别为圣献给耶和华,

27:23 then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day as a holy object for Yahweh.
祭司就要按照你的估价, 给他计算, 直到禧年为止; 价值多少, 他必须当天付给你估定的价银, 表示把那地献给耶和华为圣.

27:24 In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land is.
到了禧年, 那地要归还卖主, 就是归还那承受那地为业的原主.

27:25 And every proper value of yours shall be in the sanctuary’s shekel—the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
你的一切估价, 都要照着圣所衡量银子的标准.

27:26 “ ‘However, a man shall not consecrate a firstborn among livestock, which belongs as firstborn to Yahweh; whether an ox or small livestock, it is for Yahweh.
“唯独牲畜的头一胎, 无论是牛或是羊, 既然头一胎是属于耶和华的, 人就不能再把它分别为圣, 因为这本是耶和华的.

27:27 And if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it according to your proper value, and he shall add a fifth of its value onto it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your proper value.
但如果是不洁净的牲畜, 他就要按照你的估价, 加上五分之一把它赎回; 如果不赎回, 就要按照你的估价卖掉.

27:28 However, anything devoted that a man has devoted to Yahweh from all that he has, from human or animal, or from the field of his property, may not be sold, and it may not be redeemed; anything devoted is a most holy thing for Yahweh.
“一切永属耶和华的圣物, 就是人永献给耶和华的物, 无论是人或是牲畜, 或是他承受作产业的田地, 都不可以变卖, 也不可以赎回; 一切永献之物都是归耶和华为至圣的.

27:29 Anyone devoted who is devoted from human beings cannot be ransomed—he shall surely be put to death.
如果有人永献牲畜作永属耶和华的圣物, 就不可赎回; 必须把它杀死.

27:30 “ ‘And any tithe of the land from the land’s seed or from the fruit of the trees is for Yahweh; it is a holy object for Yahweh.
“地上的一切, 无论是地上的种子或是树上的果子, 十分之一是耶和华的, 是归给耶和华为圣的.

27:31 And if a man indeed redeems from his tithe, he shall add a fifth of its value onto it.
如果人一定要赎回这十分之一, 除物价以外, 还要加上五分之一.

27:32 As for every tithe of cattle or of the flock, all which crosses under the rod, the tenth shall be a holy object for Yahweh.
牛群和羊群的十分之一, 就是一切从牧人杖下经过的, 每第十只都是归耶和华为圣的.

27:33 He shall not inspect between the good and the bad, and he shall not exchange it; but if he indeed exchanges it, then it and its substitution shall be a holy object—it shall not be redeemed.’ ”
人不可理会是好或是坏, 也不可把它更换; 如果一定要更换, 本来的与更换的, 都要分别为圣, 不能赎回. ”

27:34 These are the commands that Yahweh commanded Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
以上这些就是耶和华在西奈山, 为以色列人吩咐摩西的律例.

Numbers - Chapter 5

5:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

5:2 “Command the Israelites: they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash, everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through contact with a corpse.
“你要吩咐以色列人, 把所有患痲风病的, 患漏症的, 以及因接触死人而不洁的, 都送出营外;

5:3 You will send away both male and female; you will send them outside the camp. They must not make unclean their camps where I am dwelling in their midst.”
无论男女, 你们都要送出去; 你们要把他们送出营外, 免得他们玷污自己的营, 这营就是我居住的. ”

5:4 So the Israelites did so. They sent them away outside the camp; just as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the Israelites.
以色列人就这样行了, 把他们送出营外; 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西, 以色列人就怎样行了.

5:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

5:6 “Speak to the Israelites: ‘When a man or woman commits any of the sins of humankind by acting unfaithfully, it is a sin against Yahweh, and that person will be guilty;
“你要对以色列人说: 无论男女, 如果犯了人所犯的任何罪, 以致得罪耶和华, 那人就有了罪;

5:7 they will confess their sin that they did and will make restitution for their guilt by adding a fifth to it and giving it to whomever was wronged.
他要承认自己所犯的罪, 把亏负人的损失, 原数赔偿之外, 另外加上五分之一, 给予他亏负的人.

5:8 But if the man does not have a redeemer to make restitution to him for the reparation, the reparation is to be given to Yahweh for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him.
如果那人没有近亲可以把所亏负的赔偿给他, 所亏负的, 就要还给耶和华, 就是归给祭司, 此外还要献上为他赎罪的代罪公绵羊.

5:9 And every contribution of all the holy objects of the Israelites that they bring to the priest for him will be his.
以色列人的一切圣物中, 奉给祭司为举祭的, 都要归给祭司.

5:10 The holy objects of a man will be for him; whatever he gives to the priest will be for him.’ ”
各人所献的圣物, 要归给祭司; 人无论献给祭司什么, 都要归给祭司. ”

5:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

5:12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and acts unfaithfully to him,
“你要告诉以色列人说: 无论什么人, 如果他的妻子背离丈夫, 对他不忠,

5:13 and a man sleeps with her and ejaculates and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is concealed, although she is defiled, and there is no witness against her and she was not caught,
有人和她同寝, 事情瞒过了丈夫, 没有被查出, 没有见证人指证她, 犯罪时也没有被人捉住;

5:14 if a spirit of jealousy comes over him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife but she is not defiled,
如果她的丈夫生了疑心, 疑忌妻子, 而妻子实在是被玷污了; 又或者丈夫生了疑心, 疑忌妻子, 而妻子并没有被玷污,

5:15 he will bring his wife to the priest. And he will bring her offering for her, one-tenth of an ephah of flour. He will not pour oil on it, and he will not put frankincense on it because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembering, a reminding of guilt.
这人就要把妻子带到祭司那里, 又要为她带来供物, 就是大麦面一公斤, 不可浇上油, 也不可加上乳香, 因为这是疑忌的素祭, 是思念的素祭, 使人思念罪孽.

5:16 “ ‘Then the priest will bring her near and present her before Yahweh;
“祭司要使那妇人走进来, 站在耶和华面前.

5:17 the priest will take holy waters in a clay vessel, and from the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and the priest will put it into the waters.
祭司要把圣水盛在瓦器里, 又从帐幕的地面取些尘土, 撒在水中.

5:18 And the priest will present the woman before Yahweh, and he will uncover the head of the woman; he will then put in her hands the grain offering of the remembering—which is the grain offering of jealousy—and in the hand of the priest will be the waters of bitterness that brings a curse.
祭司要使那妇人站在耶和华面前, 松开她的头发, 把思念的素祭, 就是疑忌的素祭, 放在她的手中, 祭司的手里要拿着使人招致咒诅的苦水.

5:19 Then the priest will make her swear an oath, and he will say to the woman, “If a man has not slept with you, and if you have not had an impurity affair under your husband, go unpunished from the waters of bitterness that brings this curse.
祭司要叫那妇人起誓, 对她说: ‘如果没有人与你同寝, 作妻子时没有背弃丈夫被人玷污, 你就免受这使人招致咒诅的苦水.

5:20 But if you have had an affair under your husband, and if you are defiled and a man other than your husband had intercourse with you,”
但是, 如果你作妻子时背弃了丈夫, 被人玷污了; 如果你在你的丈夫以外, 曾与别的男人同寝’,

5:21 the priest will make the woman swear an oath of the sworn oath of the curse, the priest will say to the woman, “May Yahweh give you a curse and a sworn oath in the midst of your people with Yahweh making your hip fall away and your stomach swollen;
这样, 祭司就要叫那妇人发咒起誓, 继续对她说: ‘耶和华要使你的大腿消瘦, 肚腹肿胀; 愿耶和华叫你在你的族人中成为咒诅和起誓的话柄;

5:22 and these waters that bring a curse will go into your intestines to cause your womb to swell and to make your hip fall away.” And the women will say, “Amen. Amen.”
愿这招致咒诅的水进入你的腹中, 使你的肚腹肿胀, 大腿消瘦. ’那妇人要说: ‘阿们,阿们. ’

5:23 “ ‘And the priests will write these curses on the scroll, and he will wipe them off into the waters of the bitterness.
“祭司要把这些咒诅的话写在卷上, 又把所写的字洗在苦水里,

5:24 He will make the woman drink the waters of the bitterness that brings a curse, and the waters of bitterness that bring a curse will go into her.
又要叫那妇人喝这招致咒诅的苦水, 这招致咒诅的水要进入她里面, 就引起痛苦.

5:25 The priest will take the grain offering of jealousy from the hand of the woman, and he will wave the grain offering before Yahweh, and he will present it to the altar;
祭司要从这妇人的手中取过那疑忌的素祭, 把素祭在耶和华面前摇一摇, 然后带到祭坛那里.

5:26 the priest will grasp her memorial offering from the grain offering, and he will turn it into smoke on the altar, and afterward he will make the woman drink the waters.
祭司要从素祭中取出一把来, 作为记念, 放在祭坛上焚烧, 然后才叫妇人喝这水.

5:27 When he has made her drink the waters, it will come about, if she has defiled herself and acted unfaithfully to her husband and the waters of bitterness that bring a curse go into her and her stomach swells and her hip falls away, the woman will be as a curse in the midst of her people.
祭司叫她喝了这水以后, 如果她被人玷污, 对自己的丈夫不忠, 这招致咒诅的水就必进入她里面, 引起痛苦; 她的肚腹必肿胀, 大腿必消瘦; 那妇人就要在她的族人中成为咒诅.

5:28 And if the woman is not defiled, and she is pure, she will go unpunished and be able to conceive children.
但是, 如果这妇人没有被玷污, 而是贞洁的, 就不致受害, 并且要怀孕生子.

5:29 “ ‘This is the regulation of jealousy, when a woman has an affair under her husband and she is defiled,
“这是关于疑忌的律例: 妻子在自己丈夫的权下, 如果背离丈夫, 被人玷污了;

5:30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife, he will present the woman before Yahweh,and the priest will do to her all of this law.
或是人生了疑忌的心, 疑忌自己的妻子, 他就要叫那妇人站在耶和华的面前, 祭司要对她执行这法例.

5:31 The man will go unpunished from guilt, and the woman, she will bear her guilt.’ ”
这样, 男人可以免罪, 妇人就要担当自己的罪孽. ”

这灯台的做法是这样: 是用金子锤出来的, 从座到花都是锤出来的. 摩西制造灯台, 是照着耶和华指示的样式做的.

耶和华对摩西说:

8:6 “Take the Levites from the midst of the Israelites and purify them.
“你要从以色列人中间选出利未人, 洁净他们.

8:7 So you will do to them, to purify them: sprinkle on them waters of purification, and they will shave their whole body and wash their garments.
你洁净他们当这样行: 要把除罪水洒在他们身上, 又叫他们用剃刀剃全身; 把衣服洗净, 洁净自己.

“关于利未人的职责是这样: 从二十五岁以上的, 要进来办理会幕里的事务;

8:25 and those fifty years old will return from the service of the work and will serve no longer.

8:26 They can attend their brothers in the tent of assembly to keep their responsibilities, but they will not do work. This is what you will do concerning the Levities and their responsibilities.”
只要在会幕里帮助自己的兄弟, 尽忠职守, 事务却不必办理了. 关于利未人的职守, 你要这样向他们行. ”

Numbers - Chapter 9

9:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year after they came out from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,
以色列人出埃及地以后, 第二年正月, 耶和华在西奈旷野吩咐摩西说:

9:2 “Let the Israelites observe the Passover at its appointed time.
“以色列人要在指定的时间守逾越节,

9:3 On the fourteenth day of this month at twilight you will perform it at its appointed time according to all its decrees; and according to all its stipulations you will observe it.”

9:5 And they observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight in the desert of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, thus the Israelites did.
他们就在正月十四日, 黄昏的时候, 在西奈旷野守了逾越节; 耶和华怎样吩咐了摩西, 以色列人就怎样行了.

9:6 And it happened, men who were unclean by a dead person were not able to perform the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
有几个人因为触着死人而不洁净, 以致他们不能在那一天守逾越节; 当日他们来到摩西和亚伦面前.

9:7 And those men said to him, “Although we are unclean by a dead person, why are we hindered from presenting the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time in the midst of the Israelites?”
这些人对摩西说: “我们虽然因为接触死人而不洁净, 为什么我们被拒绝, 不能在以色列人中, 在指定的时间献耶和华的供物呢? ”

9:8 Moses said to them, “Stay. I will hear what Yahweh commands to you.”
摩西对他们说: “你们且等候, 我要去听耶和华对你们有什么吩咐. ”

9:9 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

9:10 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Each man that is unclean by a dead person or is on a far journey, you or your descendants, he will observe the Passover of Yahweh.
“你要告诉以色列人说: 你们或你们的后代中, 如果有人因为接触死人而成为不洁净, 或因到远方旅行, 他还要向耶和华守逾越节;

9:11 On the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight they will observe it; they will eat it with unleavened bread and bitter plants.
他们要在二月十四日, 黄昏的时候, 守逾越节, 同时要吃无酵饼和苦菜;

9:12 They will leave none of it until morning, and they will not break a bone in it; they will observe it according to every decree of the Passover.
一点也不留到早晨, 羊羔的骨头, 一根也不可折断; 他们要照着逾越节的一切律例守节.

9:13 But the man who is clean and not on a journey, and he fails to observe the Passover, that person will be cut off from the people because he did not present the offering of Yahweh on its appointed time. That man will bear his guilt.
但那洁净的, 又不在路上旅行的人, 如果忽略守逾越节, 那人就要从自己的民中被剪除, 因为他没有在指定的时间内献上耶和华的供物, 那人必担当自己的罪.

9:14 If an alien dwells with you he will observe the Passover of Yahweh according to the decree of the Passover and according to its stipulation; thus you will have one decree for you, for the alien and for the native of the land.’ ”
如果有外人寄居在你们中间, 想要向耶和华守逾越节, 他就必须照着逾越节的条例和典章而行; 不论是外人或是本地人, 只有一样的条例. ”

9:15 And on a day setting up the tabernacle, the cloud covered the tent of the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony; in the evening it was on the tabernacle as an appearance of fire until morning.

你们在本地与欺压你们的仇敌作战的时候, 就要吹大声, 使你们在耶和华你们的神面前得蒙记念, 也得拯救脱离你们的仇敌.

10:10 “And on the day of your joy and in your appointed times, at the beginning of your months, you will blow on the trumpets in addition to your burnt offerings and in addition to the sacrifices of your fellowship offerings. And they will be as a memorial for you before your God; I am Yahweh your God.”
此外, 在你们快乐的日子和指定的节期, 以及月朔, 你们献燔祭和平安祭的时候, 也要吹号, 这都要在你们的神面前替你们作为记念; 我是耶和华你们的神. ”

你要对人民说: ‘你们应当自洁, 预备明天可以吃肉, 因为你们哭着向耶和华说: “谁给我们肉吃呢? ”所以耶和华必给你们肉吃.

11:19 You will eat, not one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
你们不是吃一天两天, 不是吃五天十天, 也不是吃二十天,

11:20 but for a whole month, until it comes out from your nose and becomes as nausea to you; because you have rejected Yahweh, who is in your midst, and you wept before his presence, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”
而是吃一个整月, 直到肉从你们的鼻孔里喷出来, 成为你们厌恶的东西; 因为你们轻视了住在你们中间的耶和华, 在他面前哭着说: “我们为什么出埃及呢? ”’”

摩西说: “这与我同住的人, 能行的男人就有六十万, 你还说: ‘我要给他们肉吃, 使他们可以吃一个整月. ’

难道把羊群和牛群都给他们宰了, 就够他们吃吗? 或是把海里所有的鱼都给他们聚了来, 就够他们吃吗? ”

耶和华对摩西说: “耶和华的手臂缩短了吗? 现在你要看看我的话应验不应验. ”

于是摩西出来, 把耶和华的话告诉人民, 又从民间的长老中召聚了七十个人来, 使他们站在会幕的周围.

耶和华在云中降临, 对摩西说话, 把摩西身上的灵, 分给那七十个长老; 灵停在他们身上的时候, 他们就说预言, 以后却没有再说.

11:26 But two men were left in the camp; the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the second was Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those who were written down, but they did not go out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp.
那时还有两个人留在营里; 一个名叫伊利达, 一个名叫米达; 灵也停在他们身上. 他们原是在被录取的人中, 却没有到会幕那里去; 他们就在营里说预言.

摩西的侍从, 嫩的儿子约书亚, 就是摩西所拣选的, 回答说: “我主, 摩西, 请你制止他们. ”

摩西对他说: “你为我的缘故嫉妒吗? 但愿耶和华的人民都是先知, 但愿耶和华把他的灵降在他们身上. ”

11:30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel were gathered to the camp.
于是摩西和以色列的长老, 都回营去了.

11:31 Then a wind set out from Yahweh, and it drove quails from the west, and he spread them out on the camp about a day’s journey on one side and about a day’s journey on the other, all around the camp, about two cubits on the surface of the land.
有风从耶和华那里吹起, 把鹌鹑由海面刮来, 散落在营地; 鹌鹑在营的四周, 这边约有一天的路程, 那边约有一天的路程, 离地面约有一公尺.

11:32 And so the people worked all day and all night and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the least of the ones collecting gathered ten homers).
人民起来, 那一天终日终夜, 并次日一整天, 都在捕捉鹌鹑, 最少的也捕捉了约二千公升; 他们都摆在营地的四周.

肉在他们牙齿之间, 还没有嚼烂, 耶和华的怒气就向人民发作, 用极重的灾祸击打他们.

可是, 对我的仆人摩西却不是这样, 他是在我全家忠心的.

我要与他面对面说话, 是亲自说的, 不是用谜语; 他必看见耶和华的形象, 你们出言反对我的仆人摩西, 为什么不惧怕呢? ”

14:14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They heard that you, Yahweh, are in the midst of this people, that you are seen eye to eye, and your cloud is standing over them, and in a column of cloud you go before them by day and in a column of fire at night.
埃及人也必告诉那地的居民. 那地的居民也曾听见你耶和华是在这人民中间, 你耶和华曾面对面的向人显现, 你的云彩常停在他们上面; 日间你在云柱中, 夜间你在火柱中, 走在他们前面.

14:15 But if you destroy this people all at once, the nations that will have heard your message will say,
现在如果你把这人民杀死, 像杀死一人, 那些听见你名声的万国就必议论说:

14:16 ‘Yahweh was unable to bring this people in the land that he swore by an oath, and he slaughtered them in the desert.’
‘因为耶和华不能把这民领进他向他们起誓应许的地, 所以在旷野把他们杀了. ’

14:17 But now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, just has you spoke,
现在求主大发能力, 照着你说过的话:

14:18 ‘Yahweh is slow to anger and great of loyal love, forgiving sin and rebellion; but surely he leaves nothing unpunished, visiting the sin of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generations.’
‘耶和华不轻易发怒, 且有丰盛的慈爱; 他赦免罪孽和过犯; 绝不以有罪的为无罪, 必追讨罪孽, 自父到子, 直到三四代. ’

14:19 Please forgive the sin of this people according to the greatness of your loyal love, just as you forgave this people, from Egypt until now.”
求你照着你的大慈爱, 饶恕这人民的罪孽, 好像你从埃及直到现在, 常赦免这人民一样. ”

14:20 Yahweh said, “I have forgiven them according to your word;
耶和华说: “我就照着你的话, 赦免他们;

14:21 but as I am alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth.
但是, 我指着我的永生起誓, 全地要被耶和华的荣耀充满.

14:22 But because all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the desert yet tested me these ten times and did not listen to my voice,
这些见过我的荣耀, 和我在埃及与旷野所行的神迹的人, 仍然试探了我这十次, 不听从我的话;

14:23 they will not see the land that I swore by oath to their ancestors, and all those who despised me will not see it.
他们决不得看见我向他们的祖宗起誓应许之地; 藐视我的, 一个也不能看见那地.

14:24 But my servant Caleb, because another spirit was with him, he remained true after me, and I will bring him into the land that he entered, and his offspring will take possession of it.
但是我的仆人迦勒, 因他另有一个心志, 专心跟从我, 我必把他领进他去过的那地; 他的子孙也必得着那地为业.

14:25 And the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; tomorrow turn and set out for the desert by way of the Red Sea.”
现在亚玛力人和迦南人住在山谷中, 明天你们要回转, 从到红海路上, 起行到旷野去. ”

14:26 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
耶和华吩咐摩西和亚伦说:

14:27 “How long will I bear this evil community who are grumbling against me? I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites which they are making against me.
“这恶会众向我发怨言要到几时呢? 以色列人向我所发的怨言, 我都听见了.

14:28 Say to them, ‘Surely as I live,’ declares Yahweh, ‘just as you spoke in my hearing, so I will do to you;
你要对他们说: ‘耶和华说, 我指着我的永生起誓, 我必照着你们所说给我听的, 对待你们:

14:29 in this desert your corpses will fall, and all your counted ones, according to all your number, from twenty years old and above who grumbled against me.
你们的尸体必倒在这旷野; 你们中间被数点过的, 就是按着你们的数目, 从二十岁以上, 向我发过怨言的,

14:30 You yourselves will not come into the land that I swore by oath to make you to dwell in it, but Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
都不得进入我起誓给你们居住的那地; 只有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚才可以进去.

14:31 But your little children, whom you said would be plunder, I will bring them, and they will know the land that you rejected.
但是你们的孩子, 就是你们所说他们必被掳掠的, 我要把他们领进去, 他们必得着你们厌弃的那地.

14:32 But for you, all your corpses will fall in this desert.
至于你们, 你们的尸体必倒在这旷野.

14:33 And your children will be shepherds in the desert forty years, and you will bear your unfaithfulness until all your corpses have fallen in the desert.
你们的儿女必在旷野飘流四十年, 担当你们背信之罪, 直到你们的尸体在旷野都灭尽了.

14:34 According to the number of the days that you explored the land, forty days, a day for each year, you will bear your sins forty years, and you will know my opposition.’
照着你们窥探那地的日数共四十天, 一天算一年, 你们要担当罪孽四十年, 你们就知道我为什么与你们作对. ’

14:35 I, Yahweh, have spoken; I will surely do this to all this evil community who has banded together against me. In this desert they will come to an end, and there they will die.”
我耶和华已经说了, 我必要这样对待这聚集反抗我的恶会众; 他们要在这旷野灭尽, 在这里死亡. ”

14:36 As for the men whom Moses sent to explore the land, who returned and made the community grumble against him by spreading a report over the land,
摩西派去窥探那地的人回来, 因为带回有关那地的恶信, 以致全体会众都向摩西发怨言,

14:37 the men who spread the evil report of the land died by the plague before Yahweh.
这些带回有关那地的恶信的人, 都遭受瘟疫死在耶和华面前.

14:38 But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh lived from among the men who went to explore the land.
只有嫩的儿子约书亚和耶孚尼的儿子迦勒, 仍然活着.

14:39 And Moses spoke words to all the Israelites, and the people mourned greatly.
摩西把这些话告诉以色列众人, 他们就非常悲哀.

14:40 They rose early in the morning and went to the top of the mount, saying, “Here we are. We will go up to the place that Yahweh said, because we have sinned.”
他们清早起来, 上山顶去, 说: “我们在这里; 我们要上耶和华应许的地方去, 因为我们犯了罪. ”

14:41 But Moses said, “Why are you going against the command of Yahweh? It will not succeed.
摩西说: “你们为什么又违背耶和华的命令呢? 这事必不能成功.

14:42 You should not go up because Yahweh is not in your midst; do not let yourselves be defeated in the presence of your enemies,
你们不要上去, 因为耶和华不在你们中间, 免得你们在仇敌面前被杀败.

14:43 because the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will fall by the sword; because you have turned back from Yahweh, and Yahweh will not be with you.”
因为亚玛力人和迦南人都在那里, 在你们面前, 你们必倒在刀下; 因为你们转离不跟随耶和华, 耶和华不与你们同在. ”

14:44 But they dared to go to the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and Moses did not depart from the midst of the camp.
他们却擅自上山顶去, 但是耶和华的约柜和摩西并没有离开营地.

14:45 So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who were living on the mountain descended, and they beat them down, up to Hormah.
于是, 亚玛力人和住在那山上的迦南人就下来, 击杀他们, 粉碎他们, 直到何珥玛.

Numbers - Chapter 15

15:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

“你要告诉以色列人: 你们进入我赐给你们居住之地的时候,

15:3 you will make an offering by fire for Yahweh from the cattle or from the flock, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering or at your feasts, to make a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
如果要从牛群或羊群, 拿牛羊作火祭献给耶和华, 无论是燔祭, 或是其他的祭, 为要还特许的愿, 或是作甘心的祭, 或是在你们的节期献上的, 都要献给耶和华作为馨香的祭;

15:4 And the one who presents an offering for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering of finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure of oil;
那献供物的, 要把一公斤细面和一公斤油调和作素祭, 献给耶和华.

15:5 and you will add a fourth of wine for the libation upon the burnt offering, or to the sacrifice for each ram-lamb.
此外, 无论是燔祭或是别的祭, 为每只绵羊羔你要一同献上一公升作奠祭的酒.

15:9 you will present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with half a liquid measure of oil,
就要把三公斤细面, 用两公升油调和作素祭, 和公牛犊一同献上;

15:10 and you will present half a liquid measure of wine as a libation, as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
也要用两公升酒作奠祭, 献给耶和华为馨香的火祭.

15:11 “ ‘This is how it should be done for each bull, or for the each ram, or for the small four-footed mammal, or ram-lambs, or goats.
“献一头公牛, 或一只公绵羊, 或一只绵羊羔, 或一只山羊羔, 都要这样办理.

15:12 According to the number that you prepare, so should you do to each according to their number.
照着你们预备的数目, 每只都要这样办理.

15:13 Every native must do these things to present an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
本地人献馨香的火祭给耶和华, 都要这样办理.

15:14 If an alien dwells among you, or whoever is in your midst throughout your generations, and prepares an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, he should do as you do.
如果有外人与你们同住, 或有人世世代代住在你们中间的, 要献馨香的火祭给耶和华; 你们怎样办理, 他也要怎样办理.

15:15 For the assembly, there will be one decree for you and for the alien who dwells among you; it is an eternal decree for all your generations. You as well as the alien will be before Yahweh.
至于全众, 无论是你们, 或是与你们同住的外人, 都一样的规例, 作你们世世代代永远的规例; 在耶和华面前, 你们怎样, 寄居的人也怎样.

15:16 There will be one law and one stipulation for you and for the alien dwelling among you.’ ”
你们和住在你们中间的外人, 都只有一样的法规, 一样的典章. ”

15:17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

15:18 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land to which I am about to bring you,
“你要告诉以色列人: 你们到了我领你们进去的那地,

15:19 whenever you eat from the food of the land, you will lift up a contribution to Yahweh.

15:21 You will give to Yahweh a contribution from the first of your dough throughout your generations.
你们世世代代要把初熟的麦面作举祭献给耶和华.

15:22 “ ‘But if you go astray and you do not follow all these commandments that Yahweh commanded to Moses,
“如果你们作错了事, 没有守耶和华吩咐摩西的这一切命令,

15:23 all that Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses from the day that Yahweh commanded and beyond, throughout your generations,
就是耶和华借摩西吩咐你们的一切事, 从耶和华吩咐的那一天起, 直到你们的世世代代;

15:24 and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the community, then the entire community must prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.
如果有无心之失, 是会众不知道的, 全体会众就要把一头公牛犊作燔祭, 作为献给耶和华馨香的祭, 并且照着规章把素祭和奠祭一同献上, 又献一只公山羊作赎罪祭.

15:25 The priest will make atonement for all of the community of the Israelites, and they will be forgiven because it was unintentional; they will bring their offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, their sin offering before Yahweh for their unintentional sin.
祭司要为以色列全体会众赎罪, 他们就必蒙赦免; 因为这是无心之失, 他们又因自己的无心之失, 把供物, 就是献给耶和华的火祭和赎罪祭, 一起奉到耶和华面前,

15:26 All of the community of the Israelites will be forgiven, as well as the alien that dwells in their midst, because the whole community was involved in the unintentional wrong.
以色列全体会众和寄居在他们中间的外人, 就必蒙赦免, 因为全体人民都犯了无心之失.

15:27 “ ‘If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat in its first year as a sin offering.
“如果一个人误犯了罪, 他就要献一只一岁的母山羊作赎罪祭.

15:28 And the priest will make atonement for the person who sinned unintentionally before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
祭司要在耶和华面前为那误犯的人赎罪, 因为他犯罪是出于无心; 祭司为他赎罪, 他就必蒙赦免.

15:29 For the native among the Israelites and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong.
对于犯了无心之失的人, 无论是本地人或是寄居在他们中间的外人, 都有一样的法例.

15:30 But the one who acts presumptuously from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people.
但那胆大妄为的人, 无论是本地人或是寄居的, 若是亵渎了耶和华, 那人总要从民间剪除.

15:31 Because he despised the word of Yahweh and broke his command, that person will be surely cut off and bear the guilt.’ ”
因为他藐视耶和华的话, 违犯耶和华的命令, 那人必被剪除; 他的罪孽要归到他身上. ”

15:32 When the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man who was gathering wood on the day of the Sabbath.
以色列人在旷野的时候, 有一个人在安息日捡柴.

15:33 The ones who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and to all the community.
遇见他捡柴的人, 就把他带到摩西,亚伦和全体会众那里.

15:34 And they put him under watch because it was not made clear what should be done to him.
他们把他收在监里, 因为要怎样办他, 还未明朗.

15:35 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Surely the man must be put to death by stoning him; all the community must stone him with stones from outside the camp.”
耶和华对摩西说: “那人必须处死, 全体会众要在营外用石头把他打死. ”

15:36 So the entire community brought him out to a place outside the camp, and they stoned him to death just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
于是全体会众把他拉出营外, 用石头把他打死, 正如耶和华吩咐摩西的.

15:37 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

15:38 “Speak to the Israelites, and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the hems of their garments throughout their generations and to put a blue cord on the tassel of the hem.
“你要告诉以色列人, 叫他们世世代代在自己衣服的边上作繸子, 又在繸子上, 钉上一根蓝色的细带子;

15:39 You will have a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commands of Yahweh and do them, and not follow after the unfaithfulness of your own heart and eyes,
这要作你们的繸子, 叫你们一看见, 就记得耶和华的一切命令, 并且遵行; 不随从自己的心意和眼目乱跑, 像你们素常乱跑行淫一样,

15:40 so that you will remember and do all my commandments, and you will be holy for your God.
好使你们记得, 并且遵行我的一切命令, 又使你们成为圣洁, 归给你们的神.

15:41 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am Yahweh your God.”
我是耶和华你们的神, 曾把你们从埃及地领出来, 为要作你们的神; 我是耶和华你们的神. ”

Numbers - Chapter 16

16:1 Now Korah son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, the descendants of Reuben,
利未的曾孙,哥辖的孙子,以斯哈的儿子可拉, 和流本子孙中以利押的儿子大坍,亚比兰, 与比勒的儿子安, 带着人来,

16:2 took two hundred and fifty men from the Israelites, leaders of the community summoned from the assembly, renowned men, and they confronted Moses.
反抗摩西, 还有以色列人中的二百五十个人, 就是会众的领袖; 会众中被选出有名望的人.

16:3 They were assembled in front of Moses and Aaron, and they said to them, “You take too much upon yourselves! All of the community is holy, every one of them, and Yahweh is in their midst, so why do you raise yourselves over the assembly of Yahweh?”
他们聚集起来反抗摩西和亚伦, 对他们说: “你们太过分了, 全体会众个个都是圣洁的, 耶和华也在他们中间, 你们为什么高抬自己, 超过耶和华的会众呢? ”

16:4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
摩西听见了, 就脸伏于地,

16:5 And he said to Korah and to his entire company, saying, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will make known who is his and who is holy, and he will bring him near to him, whomever he chooses he will bring near to him.
对可拉和他的同党说: “到了早晨, 耶和华就要使人知道谁是属他的; 谁是圣洁的, 就叫谁亲近他; 谁是他拣选的, 就叫谁亲近他.

16:6 Do this: take for yourselves censers, Korah and all of your company;
你们要这样作: 可拉和你的同党, 你们要拿香炉来;

16:7 tomorrow put fire in them and place incense on them before Yahweh; the man whom Yahweh chooses will be the holy one. You take too much upon yourselves, sons of Levi!”
明天你们要在耶和华面前, 把火盛在炉中, 把香放在上面; 耶和华拣选谁, 谁就是圣洁的, 你们利未人太过分了. ”

16:8 And Moses said to Korah, “Please listen, sons of Levi!
摩西又对可拉说: “利未人哪, 请听.

16:9 Is it too little for you that the God of Israel set you apart from the community of Israel to allow you to approach him to do the work of the tabernacle of Yahweh, to stand before the community to serve them?
以色列的神把你们从以色列会众中分别出来, 使你们亲近他, 办理耶和华帐幕的事务, 又站在会众面前替他们供职;

16:10 He has allowed you to approach him, you with all your brothers, the descendants of Levi, but yet you also seek the priesthood.
耶和华又使你和你所有的兄弟, 就是利未的子孙, 一同亲近他, 这在你们看来是小事吗? 你们还要寻求祭司职分吗?

16:11 Therefore you and your company that has banded together against Yahweh. What is Aaron that you grumble against him?”
所以你和你的同党聚集起来反抗耶和华; 亚伦算什么呢? 你们竟向他发怨言. ”

16:12 Moses sent to call for Dathan and Abiram son of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
摩西派人去把以利押的儿子大坍和亚比兰叫来; 他们说: “我们不上去.

16:13 Is it too little that you have brought us from a land that flows with milk and honey to kill us in the desert, and that you also appoint yourself as a ruler over us?
你把我们从流奶与蜜的地带上来, 要在旷野杀死我们, 这算小事吗? 你还要自立为王管辖我们吗?

16:14 Surely, you have not brought us to a land that flows with milk and honey, and you have not given us the inheritance of fields and a vineyard. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come!”
况且你没有把我们领到流奶与蜜的地, 也没有把田地和葡萄园给我们作产业. 难道你要把这些人的眼睛剜出来吗? 我们不上去. ”

16:15 Then Moses became angry, and he said to Yahweh, “Do not notice their grain offering. I have not offered one donkey from them, and I have not mistreated one of them.”
于是摩西大怒, 对耶和华说: “求你不要悦纳他们的礼物, 我没有夺过他们一头驴, 也没有害过他们一个人. ”

16:16 And Moses said to Korah, “You and your entire company will be before Yahweh tomorrow, you and they and Aaron.
摩西对可拉说: “明天你和你的同党, 以及亚伦, 都要站在耶和华面前.

16:17 Each one take his censer, and put incense on it and you will present it before Yahweh, and each of you bring his censer, two hundred and fifty censers, you and Aaron, each his censer.”
你们各人要拿着自己的香炉, 把香盛在上面; 你们各人要把自己的香炉带到耶和华面前, 共二百五十个香炉; 你和亚伦也各人拿着自己的香炉. ”

16:18 So each of them took his censer, and they put fire on them, and they placed incense on them; they stood at the doorway of the tent of the assembly of Moses and Aaron.
于是, 他们各人拿着自己的香炉, 盛上火, 加上香, 与摩西和亚伦一同站在会幕门口.

16:19 And Korah summoned them, the entire community, by the doorway of the tent of assembly, and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the community.
可拉召聚了全体会众到会幕门口, 来攻击摩西和亚伦, 耶和华的荣光就向全体会众显现.

16:20 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
耶和华对摩西和亚伦说:

16:21 “Separate yourselves from the midst of this community, that I can destroy them in a moment.”
“你们要离开这会众, 我好在眨眼间把他们吞灭. ”

16:22 And they fell on their faces, and they said, “God, God of the spirits of all flesh, will one man sin and you become angry toward the entire community?”
摩西和亚伦就俯伏在地, 说: “神啊, 万人之灵的神啊, 一人犯罪, 你就要向全体会众发怒吗? ”

16:23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

16:24 “Speak to the community, saying, ‘Move away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”
“你要吩咐会众说: ‘你们要离开可拉,大坍,亚比兰帐幕的四周. ’”

16:25 So Moses stood up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the elders of Israel followed after him.
于是摩西起来, 到大坍和亚比兰那里去; 以色列的长老也随着他去了.

16:26 He said to the community, saying, “Please turn away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be destroyed with all their sins.”
摩西告诉会众: “你们要远离这些恶人的帐幕, 凡是他们的东西, 你们都不可摸, 免得你们因他们的一切罪恶同遭毁灭. ”

16:27 And so they moved away from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out standing at the doorway of their tents, with their wives, sons, and little children.
于是, 众人离开了可拉,大坍,亚比兰帐幕的四周; 大坍,亚比兰就带着妻子,儿女和小孩出来, 站在自己的帐幕门口.

16:28 And Moses said, “In this you will know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; it is not from my heart.
摩西说: “由此你们可以知道, 我作这一切事, 是耶和华派我作的, 并不是出于我自己的心意.

16:29 If they die a natural death or if a natural fate is visited upon them, Yahweh has not sent me.
如果这些人死亡像一般人死亡一样, 或是他们所遭遇的像一般人的遭遇一样, 那么就不是耶和华派我来的.

16:30 But if Yahweh creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up and all that belongs to them, and they go down alive to Sheol, and you will know that these men have despised Yahweh.”
如果耶和华作一件新事, 使地开口, 把他们和他们所有的都吞下去, 叫他们活活地下到阴间, 这样你们就知道这些人是藐视耶和华了. ”

16:31 And it happened, as soon as he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open.
摩西说完了这一切话, 他们脚下的地就裂开.

16:32 The land opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their houses and every person that belonged to Korah and all the property.
地开了口, 把他们和他们的家眷, 以及一切属可拉的人和财物, 都吞了下去.

16:33 They went down alive to Sheol, they and all that belonged to them, and the land covered over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.
这样, 他们和一切属他们的, 都活活地下到阴间, 地在他们上面合闭, 他们就从会众中灭亡了.

16:34 All Israel who were around them fled at their cry, because they said, “Lest the land swallow us up!”
在他们四周的以色列众人, 听见他们的呼叫, 就都逃跑, 说: “恐怕地也把我们吞下去. ”

16:35 And fire went out from Yahweh, and it consumed the two hundred and fifty men presenting the incense.
又有火从耶和华那里出来, 把那献香的二百五十个人吞灭了.

16:36 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

16:37 “Say to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, ‘Take out the censers from among the place of burning because they are sacred, and scatter the fire outside.
“你要吩咐亚伦祭司的儿子以利亚撒, 叫他把那些香炉从火中拾起来, 把火撒在别处, 因为那些香炉是圣的;

16:38 The censers of these who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into gilded leafing plating for the altar; because they presented them before Yahweh, they are holy; and they will be a sign for the Israelites.’ ”
那些自害己命的人的香炉也是圣的, 你们要把它们锤成薄片, 用来包盖祭坛; 那些香炉本是他们在耶和华面前献过的, 所以已经成为圣的, 并且可以给以色列作鉴戒. ”

16:39 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that the ones who were burned presented, and they hammered them out thinly as plating for the altar;
于是, 以利亚撒祭司把被火焚烧的人献过的铜香炉拿起来, 叫人锤成薄片, 用来包盖祭坛,

16:40 it was a memorial for the Israelites, so that no strange man who is not from the offspring of Aaron should approach the presence of Yahweh to burn a smoke offering; he will not be like Korah and his company, just as Yahweh had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.
给以色列人作鉴戒, 叫不是亚伦子孙的外人, 不可近前来, 在耶和华面前烧香, 免得他像可拉和他的同党有一样的遭遇; 这是照着耶和华借摩西吩咐以利亚撒的.

16:41 The next day all the community of the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of Yahweh!”
第二天, 以色列全体会众都向摩西和亚伦发怨言, 说: “你们害死了耶和华的子民. ”

16:42 Then, when the community had gathered against Moses and Aaron, they turned to the tent of assembly, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared.
会众聚集攻击摩西和亚伦的时候, 他们转身向会幕观看, 见有云彩遮盖会幕, 耶和华的荣光显现出来.

16:43 And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of assembly,
摩西和亚伦就来到会幕前面.

16:44 and Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

“你们要离开这会众, 我好在眨眼间把他们消灭. ”他们二人就俯伏在地.

16:46 And Moses and Aaron said, “Take the censer, and put fire on it from the altar. Place incense on it, and bring it quickly to the community, and make atonement for them, because wrath went out from the presence of Yahweh, and a plague has begun.”
摩西对亚伦说: “你要拿着香炉, 把坛上的火盛在里头, 又加上香, 快快带到会众那里去, 为他们赎罪, 因为有震怒从耶和华面前出来, 瘟疫已经开始了. ”

亚伦照着摩西吩咐的把香炉拿来, 跑到会众中间, 果然, 瘟疫已经在人民中间开始了; 他就加上香, 为人民赎罪.

“你要吩咐以色列人, 要从他们手中取杖, 按着父家每支派一根, 从他们所有的领袖, 按着他们的父家, 共取十二根杖, 你要把各人的名字写在各人的杖上;

17:3 and the name of Aaron on the staff of Levi, because one staff is for the head of each of their families.

17:4 You must then put them in the tent of assembly before the testimony where I meet with you.
你要把这些杖放在会幕里约柜前, 就是我和你们相会的地方.

我拣选的那人, 他的杖必发芽; 这样, 我就必使以色列人向你们所发的怨言止息, 不再达到我耳中. ”

于是摩西吩咐以色列人, 他们所有的领袖都把杖交给他, 按着他们的父家, 每个领袖一根杖, 共有十二根杖; 亚伦的杖也在其中.

耶和华对摩西说: “把亚伦的杖放回约柜前, 给那些背叛的人留作证据, 这样你就使他们向我发的怨言止息, 免得他们死亡. ”

有血肉生命头生的, 无论是人或是牲畜, 就是他们献给耶和华的, 都必归给你; 只是人类头生的, 你总要赎出来; 不洁净牲畜头生的, 也要赎出来.

18:17 Only the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat you will not redeem; they are holy. Their blood you will sprinkle over the altar, and their fat you will turn into smoke as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
只是头生的牛,头生的绵羊, 或是头生的山羊, 你不可赎出来; 它们都是圣的. 你要把它们的血洒在祭坛上, 把它们的脂油焚烧, 作为献给耶和华馨香的火祭.

18:18 But their flesh will be for you like the breast section of the wave offering, and it will be for you like the right upper thigh.
它们的肉却要归给你, 像摇过的胸和右腿要归给你一样.

以色列人奉献给耶和华圣物中的举祭, 我都赐给了你和与你在一起的儿女, 作永远应得的分; 这是在耶和华面前给你和与你在一起的后裔作永远的盐约. ”

耶和华对亚伦说: “你在以色列人的地不可有产业, 在他们中间也不可有分; 在以色列人中间, 我就是你的分, 是你的产业.

“至于利未的子孙, 我已经把以色列中所有的十分之一, 赐给了他们作产业, 这是为酬报他们在会幕里办理的事务.

唯独利未人要办理会幕的事, 要担当他们的罪孽, 这要作你们世世代代永远的条例; 在以色列人中, 他们不可有产业.

18:24 because the tithes of the Israelites that are offered to Yahweh as a contribution, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I said to them, ‘They will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites.’ ”
因为以色列人献给耶和华为举祭的十分之一, 我已经赐给了利未人作产业; 所以我对他们说: 在以色列人中, 他们不可有产业. ”

18:25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

18:26 “You will speak to the Levites and say to them, ‘When you receive the tithe from the Israelites that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tithe from a tithe.
“你要告诉利未人: 你们既然从以色列人手中, 取得了我赐给你们作产业的十分之一, 你们就要从这十分之一中, 取出十分之一, 献给耶和华作为举祭.

18:27 Your contribution will be credited to you like the grain from the threshing floor and like the produce from the press.
这要算为你们的举祭, 好像禾场上的五谷, 又像榨酒池中的酒.

18:28 So you will present your own contribution to Yahweh from all your tithes that you receive from the Israelites; from it you will give the contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest.
这样, 你们也要把从以色列人取得的十分之一, 作举祭献给耶和华; 你们要把献给耶和华的举祭, 归给亚伦祭司.

从你们得的一切礼物中, 要把最好的, 分别为圣, 献给耶和华为举祭.

18:30 You will say to them, ‘When you are presenting its fat, the rest will be credited to the Levites like a yield of the threshing floor and like a yield from the press.
所以你要对利未人说: ‘如果你们把最好的献上, 这就算为你们禾场上的粮和榨酒池中的酒了.

18:31 You may eat it anywhere, you and your household, because it is a wage in return for your service in the tent of assembly.
你们和你们的家人, 随处都可以吃, 因为这是你们的工价, 是你们在会幕里办事的报酬.

18:32 You will not bear any sin because you have presented its fat; you will not defile the holy objects of the Israelites, or you will die.’ ”
如果你们把最好的献上, 就不致因此担罪. 以色列人的圣物, 你们不可亵渎, 免得你们死亡. ’”

要由一个洁净的人收起母牛的灰, 安放在营外洁净的地方, 为以色列会众留作除污秽的水, 这是除罪的.

20:4 Why have you brought the assembly of Yahweh, us and our livestock, into this desert to die here?

你们为什么使我们出埃及, 领我们到这坏地方来呢? 这里不能撒种, 没有无花果树,葡萄树,石榴树, 也没有水喝. ”

摩西和亚伦于是离开会众, 来到会幕门口, 俯伏在地; 耶和华的荣光向他们显现.

“你要拿着杖, 和你的哥哥亚伦聚集会众, 在他们眼前, 吩咐磐石; 这样你就可以使磐石流出水来, 给会众和他们的牲畜喝. ”

于是, 摩西照着耶和华吩咐他的, 从耶和华面前拿了杖去.

耶和华对摩西和亚伦说: “因为你们不信我, 不在以色列人眼前尊我为圣, 所以你们必不得领这会众进入我赐给他们的地. ”

摩西从加低斯派使者去见以东王说: “你的兄弟以色列这样说: 你知道我们遭遇的一切困难,

20:15 our ancestors went down to Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians mistreated us and our ancestors.
就是我们的列祖下到埃及去, 我们在埃及住了很多日子; 埃及人恶待我们和我们的列祖;

20:16 Then we cried to Yahweh, and he heard our voice; he sent an angel and brought us out from Egypt. And look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
我们向耶和华呼求, 他就听了我们的声音, 派使者把我们从埃及领出来; 现在我们就在你边界上的城加低斯.

20:17 Please let us go through your land. We will not go through a field or vineyard, and we will not drink water from a well. We will go along the road of the king; we will not turn aside right or left until we have gone through your territory.’ ”
求你容我们从你的地经过; 我们不走过田地和葡萄园, 也不喝井里的水, 我们只走大路, 不偏左也不偏右, 直到走过了你的境地. ”

20:18 Then Edom said to him, “You will not pass through us lest we will go out to meet you with the sword.”
以东王对使者说: “你不可从我这里经过, 免得我带着刀出来攻击你. ”

20:19 The Israelites said to him, “We will go up on the main road, and if we and our livestock drink your water, we will pay for it. It is only a small matter; let us pass through on our feet.”
以色列人对他说: “我们要走大路上去, 我们和牲畜若是喝了你的水, 我必照价付你; 不求别的事, 只求你容我们步行经过. ”

20:20 But he said, “You will not go through.” And Edom went out to meet them with a large army and a strong hand.

20:24 “Let Aaron be gathered to his people; he will not come into the land that I have given to the Israelites because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
“亚伦要归到他本族人那里去, 他必不得进入我赐给以色列人的那地, 因为在米利巴水的事上, 你们违背了我的吩咐.

20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and take them up Mount Hor.
你要带着亚伦和他的儿子以利亚撒, 一同上何珥山去;

摩西就照着耶和华吩咐的行了, 三人当着全体会众的眼前上了何珥山.

21:5 The people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us from Egypt to die in the desert? There is no food and no water, and our hearts detest this miserable food.”
就反抗神和摩西, 说: “你们为什么把我们从埃及领上来, 使我们死在旷野呢? 这里没有粮食, 又没有水, 我们的心厌恶这淡薄的食物. ”

21:6 And Yahweh sent among the people poisonous snakes; they bit the people, and many people from Israel died.
于是耶和华打发火蛇进入人民中间; 蛇咬他们, 许多以色列人就死了.

21:7 The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh and let him remove the snakes from among us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
人民来见摩西, 说: “我们有罪了, 因为我们出恶言攻击耶和华和你; 求你向耶和华祷告, 叫这些蛇离开我们. ”于是摩西为众人祷告.

21:8 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Make for yourself a snake and place it on a pole. When anyone is bitten and looks at it, that person will live.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你要做一条火蛇, 挂在杆上; 被咬的, 一看这蛇, 就必得存活. ”

21:9 So Moses made a snake of bronze, and he placed it on the pole; whenever a snake bit someone, and that person looked at the snake of bronze, he lived.
摩西就做了一条铜蛇, 挂在杆上; 被蛇咬了的人, 一望这铜蛇, 就活了.

21:10 The Israelites set out and encamped at Oboth.
以色列人又起行, 在阿伯安营.

21:11 They set out from Oboth and encamped at Iye Abarim in the desert, which was in front of Moab toward the sunrise.
再从阿伯起行, 在以耶．亚巴琳安营, 就是摩押对面的旷野, 向日出之地.

21:12 From there they set out and encamped at the valley of Zered.
他们又从那里起行, 在撒烈谷安营.

21:13 From there they set out and encamped beyond Arnon, which is in the desert that goes out from the boundary of the Amorites, because Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
又从那里起行, 在亚嫩河那边安营; 这亚嫩河是在旷野, 从亚摩利人的境内流出来; 原来亚嫩河就是摩押的边界, 在摩押与亚摩利人之间.

21:14 Therefore thus it is said in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, “Waheb in Suphah, and the wadis of Arnon,
因此, 在耶和华的战书上记着: “在苏法的哇哈伯, 和亚嫩河的河谷,

21:15 and the slope of the wadis that spreads out to the dwelling of Ar and lies at the boundary of Moab.”
以及河谷的斜坡, 这斜坡伸展到亚珥城的地方, 就是靠近摩押边境的. ”

21:16 From there they went to Beer, which is the water well where Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Gather the people, that I may give them water.”
以色列人又从那里到了比珥(“比珥”意即“井”); 从前耶和华对摩西说: “你要聚集众民, 我好把水给他们喝”, 说的就是这个井.

21:17 Then Israel sang this song, “Arise, well water! Sing to it!
那时, 以色列人就唱了这首歌, 说: “井啊, 涌上水来. 你们要向这井歌唱.

21:18 Well water that the princes dug, that the leaders of the people dug, with a staff and with their rods.” And from the desert they continued to Mattanah,
这井是领袖挖掘的, 是民间的尊贵人, 用圭用杖挖掘的. ”以色列人从旷野到了玛他拿,

21:19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
从玛他拿到拿哈列, 从拿哈列到巴末,

21:20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the territory of Moab, by the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the surface of the wasteland.
从巴末到摩押地的谷, 又到了俯瞰荒野的毗斯迦山顶.

21:21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying,
以色列人派使者去见亚摩利人的王西宏说:

21:22 “Let us go through your land; we will not turn aside into a field or vineyard; we will not drink well water along the way of the king until we have gone through your territory.”
“求你容我们从你的地经过; 我们不偏入田间和葡萄园, 也不喝井里的水; 我们只走大路, 直到过了你的境界. ”

21:23 But Sihon did not allow Israel to go through his territory. Sihon gathered all his people and went out to meet Israel; he came to the desert, to Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.
西宏不容以色列人从他的境界经过, 反而聚集了自己的人民, 出到旷野去攻击以色列人, 西宏到了雅杂, 与以色列人交战.

21:24 But Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and they took possession of his land from Arnon to Jabbok, until the Ammonites, because the boundary of the Ammonites was strong.
以色列人用刀击杀了他, 占领了他的地, 从亚嫩河到雅博河, 直到亚扪人那里, 因为雅谢是亚扪人的边界.

21:25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel inhabited all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its environs.
以色列人夺取了这一切城, 也住在亚摩利人的各城, 就是希实本, 与属于希实本的一切村庄.

21:26 Because Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land from his hand until Arnon.
这希实本是亚摩利人的王西宏的京城; 西宏曾经与摩押以前的王交战, 从他手中夺去了所有的地, 直到亚嫩河.

21:27 Thus the ones who quote proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! And let the city of Sihon be established.
因此诗人说: “你们来到希实本! 愿西宏的城被重建, 愿西宏的城坚立.

21:28 Because fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon.
因为有火从希实本发出, 有火焰从西宏的城冒出, 吞灭了摩押的亚珥, 烧毁了亚嫩河的高冈.

21:29 Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
摩押啊, 你有祸了, 基抹的民哪, 你们灭亡了; 基抹使自己的男子逃亡, 使自己的女子被掳, 交给了亚摩利人的王西宏.

21:30 We destroyed them; Heshbon has perished up to Dibon; we laid waste up to Nophah, which reaches Medeba.”
我们射击他们, 希实本就毁灭, 直到底本. 我们使地荒凉, 直到挪法, 挪法直伸到米底巴. ”

21:31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
这样, 以色列人就住在亚摩利人的地.

21:32 Moses sent to explore Jaazer; they captured its environs and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
摩西派人去窥探雅谢, 以色列人就占领了雅谢的村镇, 把那里的亚摩利人赶走.

21:33 Then they turned and went up by the way of the Bashan, and Og king of the Bashan and all his people went out to meet them for battle at Edrei.
以色列人回头, 沿着到巴珊的路上走; 巴珊王噩和他的众民都出来迎着以色列人, 在以得来与他们交战.

21:34 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Do not fear him because I will give him and all his people and all his land into your hand. You will do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon.”
耶和华对摩西说: “不要怕他, 因为我已经把他和他的众民, 以及他的地都交在你手里; 你要待他, 像从前待那住在希实本的亚摩利人的王西宏一样. ”

21:35 And so they destroyed him and his sons, and all his people until they had not spared a survivor; and they took possession of his land.
于是, 他们杀了噩和他的儿子, 以及他的众民, 没有留下一个, 就占领了他的地.

Numbers - Chapter 22

22:1 The Israelites set out, and they encamped on the desert-plateau of Moab, across from Jericho beyond the Jordan.
以色列人起行, 在摩押平原安营, 就是在约旦河东边, 耶利哥的对面.

22:2 Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel did to the Amorites,
以色列人向亚摩利人所行的一切事, 西拨的儿子巴勒都看见了.

22:3 and Moab was very terrified in the presence of the people because they were numerous; and Moab dreaded the presence of the Israelites.
摩押人十分惧怕这民, 因为他们众多; 摩押人因以色列人的缘故, 十分恐慌.

22:4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now the crowd will lick up all around us, like a bull devours the grass of the field.” And Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
摩押人对米甸的长老说: “现在这群人要吞并我们四周的一切, 好像牛吞吃田间的草一样. ”那时西拨的儿子巴勒, 作摩押王;

22:5 He sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the river, in the land of the children of his people, to summon him, saying, “Look! A people went out from Egypt. Look! They cover the surface of the land; they are about to dwell opposite me.
他就派使者到比珥的儿子巴兰那里去, 就是到大河的毗夺, 亚扪人的地那里, 去叫巴兰来, 说: “你看, 有一个民族从埃及出来, 遮满了全地, 如今住在我的对面.

22:6 Now, please go, curse this people for me because they are stronger than me; perhaps I will be able to strike them and drive them out from the land because I know whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you cursed is cursed.”
现在请你来, 替我咒诅这民, 因为他们比我强盛, 或者我能够击败他们, 把他们从这地赶出去; 因为我知道你给谁祝福, 谁就得福; 你咒诅谁, 谁就受咒诅. ”

22:7 So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian went with a fee for divination in their hand; they came to Balaam and spoke the words of Balak to him.
摩押的长老和米甸的长老, 手里带着礼金去了; 他们到了巴兰那里, 把巴勒的话告诉他.

22:8 He said to them, “Spend the night here, and I will return, and I will return word to you, just as Yahweh speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
巴兰对他们说: “今夜你们留在这里, 我必照着耶和华吩咐我的话答复你们. ”于是, 摩押的领袖就与巴兰同住.

22:9 And God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?”
神来到巴兰那里, 说: “与你在一起的这些人是谁? ”

22:10 And Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent word to me,
巴兰对神说: “是摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒派到我这里来的人, 他们说:

22:11 ‘Look! A people went out from Egypt. Look! They cover the surface of the land. Now, go, curse them for me. Perhaps I will be able to attack them and drive them out.”
‘你看, 从埃及出来的民族, 遮满了全地; 现在请你来, 替我咒诅他们, 或者我能够战胜他们, 把他们赶走. ’”

22:12 God said to Balaam, “You will not go with them; you will not curse the people, because they are blessed.”
神对巴兰说: “你不可与他们同去, 也不可咒诅那民, 因为他们是蒙福的. ”

22:13 Balaam got up in the morning, and he said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land, because Yahweh refused to allow me to go with you.”
巴兰早晨起来, 对巴勒的领袖说: “你们回本地去吧, 因为耶和华不准我与你们同去. ”

22:14 The princes of Moab got up and went to Balak, and they said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
摩押的领袖起来, 回到巴勒那里, 说: “巴兰不肯与我们同来. ”

22:15 Balak again sent many princes, who were more honored than the former.
于是, 巴勒又派比先前更多,更尊贵的领袖去,

22:16 They came to Balaam and said to him, “Thus says Balak son of Zippor, ‘Please, let nothing keep you from coming to me
他们来到巴兰那里, 对他说: “西拨的儿子巴勒这样说: ‘求你不要推辞不到我这里来,

22:17 because I will surely honor you greatly, and all that you say to me I will do. Please, come; curse this people for me.’ ”
因为我必使你大得尊荣; 你向我说什么, 我都照办; 只求你替我咒诅这民. ’”

22:18 Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, “Even though Balak gives to me his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond the command of Yahweh my God to do a little or a lot.
巴兰回答巴勒的臣仆说: “巴勒就算把他满屋的金银给我, 但我不论作大事小事, 也不能越过耶和华我神的命令.

22:19 And now please, you also stay here the night, and let me find out again what Yahweh will say with me.”
现在请你们今夜也住在这里, 等我得知耶和华还要向我说什么. ”

22:20 And God came to Balaam at night, and he said to him, “If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them; but only the word that I will speak to you, you will do.”
当夜, 神来到巴兰那里, 对他说: “这些人既然来请你, 你就起程与他们同去, 但是你只要遵行我吩咐你的事. ”

22:21 So Balaam got up in the morning and saddled his donkey, and he went with the princes of Moab.
巴兰早晨起来, 备上驴, 与摩押的领袖一同去了.

22:22 But God became angry because he was going, and the angel of Yahweh stood in the road as an adversary to him; he was riding on his donkey, and two servants were with him.
神因为巴兰去就发怒; 耶和华的使者站在路上敌挡他. 那时他骑着驴, 有两个仆人同行.

22:23 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, and the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. And Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back to the road.
驴看见了耶和华的使者站在路上, 手里拿着拔出来的刀, 就转离正路, 走入田中去; 巴兰就打驴, 要叫它转回路上.

22:24 The angel of Yahweh stood in the narrow path of the vineyards, with a wall on either side.
耶和华的使者站在葡萄园间的窄路上, 两边都有围墙.

22:25 When the donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, she pressed herself into the wall, and she pressed the foot of Balaam into the wall, so he struck her again.
驴看见了耶和华的使者, 就紧挤在墙上, 把巴兰的脚挤伤了, 巴兰又打驴.

22:26 Then the angel of Yahweh went further ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was not a way to turn aside to the right or left.
耶和华的使者又往前行, 站在狭窄之处, 左右都没有转身的地方.

22:27 When the donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, she lay down under Balaam, so Balaam became angry, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
驴看见了耶和华的使者, 就卧在巴兰身下; 巴兰大怒, 就用自己的杖打驴.

22:28 Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What did I do to you that you struck me these three times?”
耶和华开了驴的口, 驴就对巴兰说: “我向你作了什么, 你竟打我这三次呢? ”

22:29 Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you made a mockery of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now!”
巴兰对驴说: “因为你作弄我. 但愿我手中有刀, 现在就把你杀死. ”

22:30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life until this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?” He said, “No.”
驴对巴兰说: “我不是你从起初一直所骑的驴吗? 我以前曾向你这样行过吗? ”巴兰说: “没有. ”

22:31 Then Yahweh exposed the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, and he bowed down and worshiped to his face.
那时, 耶和华开了巴兰的眼睛, 他就看见耶和华的使者站在路上, 手里拿着拔出来的刀, 巴兰就低头俯伏在地.

22:32 The angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why have you struck this donkey three times? Look, I have come out as an adversary because your conduct is perverse before me.
耶和华的使者对他说: “你为什么这三次打你的驴呢? 看哪, 是我来敌挡你, 因为你走的路在我面前邪僻.

22:33 The donkey saw me and turned aside from me these three times. If she had not turned aside from my face, then I would have killed you and kept her alive.”
驴看见了我, 就三次从我面前转开; 驴若是没有从我面前转开, 我早已把你杀了, 而留它活着. ”

22:34 Balaam said to the angel of Yahweh, “I have sinned because I did not know that you were standing to meet me in the road. Now, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back.”
巴兰对耶和华的使者说: “我有罪了, 我不知道是你站在路上阻挡我; 现在你若是不喜欢我去, 我就回去. ”

22:35 The angel of Yahweh said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but speak only the word that I will speak to you.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
耶和华的使者对巴兰说: “你与这些人同去吧, 但是你只要说我吩咐你的话. ”于是巴兰与巴勒的领袖一同去了.

22:36 When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him by the city of Moab, which was on the boundary of Aaron at the end of the territory.
巴勒听见巴兰来了, 就出去到摩押的京城迎接他; 这城是在亚嫩河旁, 在边界的尽头.

22:37 And Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not urgently send to meet with you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really not able to honor you?”
巴勒对巴兰说: “我不是急切地派人到你那里去请你吗? 你为什么不到我这里来呢? 难道我不能使你得尊荣吗? ”

22:38 Balaam said to Balak, “Look, I came to you now. Am I really able to speak anything at all? I speak the word that God puts in my mouth.”
巴兰对巴勒说: “看哪, 我已经来到你这里, 现在我怎能说什么呢? 神把什么话放在我口里, 我就说什么. ”

22:39 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-Huzoth.
巴兰与巴勒同行, 来到基列．胡琐.

22:40 And Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and he sent them to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.
巴勒宰了牛羊, 送给巴兰和与他在一起的领袖.

22:41 And it happened, in the morning Balak took Balaam and took him up to Bamoth-Baal, and he saw from there the end of the nation.
到了早晨, 巴勒带着巴兰上了巴力的高冈; 巴兰就从那里观看以色列民的边界.

Numbers - Chapter 23

23:1 Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me this: seven altars. And prepare for me this: seven bulls and seven rams.”
巴兰对巴勒说: “你要在这里给我筑七座祭坛, 给我预备七头公牛, 七只公绵羊. ”

23:2 And Balak did just as Balaam spoke, and Balak offered Balaam a bull and a ram on the altar.
巴勒照着巴兰吩咐的行了; 巴勒和巴兰在每座祭坛上献一头公牛和一只公绵羊.

23:3 And Balaam said to Balak, “Station yourself at your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell to you.” So he went to a barren height.
巴兰对巴勒说: “你要站在你的燔祭旁边, 我要往前去, 或者耶和华会来迎见我; 他指示我什么, 我必告诉你. ”于是巴兰上了一块高地.

23:4 And God met with Balaam, and he said to him, “I have arranged seven altars, and I have offered a bull and a ram on the altar.”
神迎见巴兰; 巴兰对神说: “我已经预备了七座祭坛, 在各座祭坛上献了一头公牛和一只公绵羊. ”

23:5 Yahweh put a word in the mouth of Balaam and said, “Return to Balak, and you must speak thus.”
耶和华把话传给巴兰, 又说: “你要回到巴勒那里去, 要这样这样说. ”

23:6 So he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab.
他就回到巴勒那里, 见他和摩押所有的领袖都站在燔祭旁边.

23:7 And he lifted up his oracle and said, “From Aram Balak lead me, from the mountains of the east the king of Moab, ‘Go for me, curse Jacob, and go, denounce Israel.’
巴兰就作歌, 说: “巴勒把我从亚兰领出来, 摩押王引我出东山, 说: ‘来吧, 为我咒骂雅各, 来啊, 咒骂以色列. ’

23:8 How can I curse whom God has not cursed, and how can I denounce whom Yahweh has not denounced?
神没有咒诅的, 我怎能咒诅呢? 耶和华没有咒骂的, 我怎能咒骂呢?

23:9 Because from the top of the rocks I see him, from hilltops I watch him. Behold, a people who dwell alone, they do not consider themselves among the nations.
我从高峰观看他们, 从山上眺望他们; 这是独居的民族, 不列在万国之中.

23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, or as a number the fourth part of Israel? Let my life die the death of an upright person, and let my end be like his!”
谁能数算雅各的灰尘? 谁能计算以色列的四分之一呢? 愿我的死像正直人的死, 愿我之终如正直人之终. ”

23:11 And Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have surely blessed them!”
巴勒对巴兰说: “你向我作的是什么事呢? 我领你来咒诅我的仇敌, 你反倒给他们祝福. ”

23:12 He answered and said, “Should I not speak what Yahweh puts in my mouth?”
巴兰回答, 说: “耶和华传给我的话, 我怎能不谨慎说呢? ”

23:13 Then Balak said, “Please walk with me to another place where you will see them, but you will only see part of them and will not see all of them; and curse them for me from there.”
巴勒对巴兰说: “请你与我到另一个地方去, 从那里你可以看见他们; 不过你不能看见他们全部, 只能看见他们边界的一部分; 在那里你要为我咒诅他们. ”

23:14 So he took him to the field of Zophim to the top of Pisgah, and he built seven altars, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
于是巴勒带巴兰到了琐腓田, 上了毗斯迦山顶, 筑了七座祭坛, 在每座祭坛上献了一头公牛和一只公绵羊.

23:15 Balaam said to Balak, “Station yourself here at the burnt offering while I myself meet with Yahweh there.”
巴兰对巴勒说: “你要在这里站在你的燔祭旁边, 等我到那边去迎见耶和华. ”

23:16 Then Yahweh met with Balaam, and he put a word in his mouth, and he said, “Return to Balak, and you must speak thus.”
耶和华见了巴兰, 把话传给他, 说: “你回到巴勒那里去, 要这样这样说. ”

23:17 He came to him, and behold, he was standing at his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, “What has Yahweh spoken?”
巴兰回到巴勒那里, 见他站在自己的燔祭旁边, 摩押的领袖也与他在那里. 巴勒问巴兰: “耶和华说了什么话呢? ”

23:18 Then he uttered his oracle, and said, “Stand up, Balak, and hear; listen to me, son of Zippor!
巴兰作歌, 说: “巴勒啊, 要起来听; 西拨的儿子啊, 侧耳听我.

23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of humankind, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? And has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
神不是人, 必不致说谎, 也不是人子, 必不致后悔. 他说话, 怎能不作? 他发言, 怎能不作成?

23:20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; when he has blessed, I cannot cause it to return.
我奉命来祝福; 神要赐福, 我不能改变.

23:21 He has no regard for evil in Jacob, and he does not see trouble in Israel; Yahweh his God is with him, and a shout of a king is among them.
在雅各中不见罪孽, 在以色列中也不见患难; 耶和华他们的神与他们同在, 有君王欢呼的声音在他们中间.

23:22 God, who brings them out from Egypt, is like the strength of a wild ox for them.
领他们出埃及的神, 对他们有如野牛的角.

23:23 Because there is no sorcery against Jacob, and there is no divination against Israel. Now it will be said to Jacob and Israel, what God has done!
在雅各中没有观兆的, 在以色列中也没有占卜; 到了适当的时候, 必有话对雅各和以色列说: ‘神为他们行了何等的大事! ’

23:24 Look! the people will rise like the lion; he raises himself and will not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.”
这民族起来有如母狮, 挺身好像公狮; 不吃下猎物, 不喝被杀的人的血, 决不卧下. ”

23:25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them at all, nor bless them at all!”
巴勒对巴兰说: “你一点不要咒诅他们, 也不要祝福他们. ”

23:26 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Whatever Yahweh speaks I will do’?”
巴兰回答巴勒说: “我不是告诉过你说: ‘耶和华吩咐我的, 我都必要遵行’吗? ”

23:27 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Please, come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be acceptable to God, and you will curse for me from there.”
巴勒对巴兰说: “你来, 我领你到另一个地方去, 或者神喜欢你, 你就可以在那里为我咒诅他们. ”

23:28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks down on the face of the Jeshimon.
于是, 巴勒领巴兰到了俯视旷野的毗珥山顶去.

23:29 And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me these seven altars, and prepare for me these seven bulls and seven rams.”
巴兰对巴勒说: “你要在这里给我筑七座祭坛, 也要为我预备七头公牛和七只公绵羊. ”

23:30 Balak did just as Balaam said, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
巴勒就照着巴兰所说的行了, 在每座祭坛上, 献上一头公牛和一只公绵羊.

Numbers - Chapter 24

24:1 And Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, and he did not go as other times to seek out sorcery; instead, he set his face toward the desert.
巴兰见耶和华喜欢赐福以色列, 就不再像前两次一样去求观兆的方法, 却面向旷野.

24:2 Balaam lift up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to its tribes, and the spirit of God was upon it.
巴兰举目, 看见以色列人按着支派居住, 神的灵就临到他身上.

24:3 He uttered his oracle and said, “The declaration of Balaam son Beor, the declaration of the man whose eyes are closed,
他就作歌, 说: “比珥的儿子巴兰说: ‘有眼光的人说,

24:4 the declaration of the hearer of God’s words, who sees the revelation of Shaddai, falling down but whose eyes are uncovered.
得听神的话语,得见全能者的异象,身体仆倒而眼目睁开的人说:

24:5 How good are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel!
雅各啊, 你的会幕多么佳美; 以色列啊, 你的帐幕多么美好!

24:6 They are spread out like valleys, like gardens on a river, like aloes planted by Yahweh, like cedars at the waters.
像扩展的棕林, 如河边的园子, 似耶和华栽种的沉香树, 又像水旁的香柏树.

24:7 He will pour water from his buckets, and his offspring will be like many waters; his king will be higher than Agag, and his kingdom will be exalted.
必有水从他的桶中流出来, 他的后裔必在多水之处; 他的王必超过亚甲, 他的国度必被高举.

24:8 God, who brings him out from Egypt, is like the strength of a wild ox for him. He will devour the nations who are his enemies; he will break their bones; he will pierce them with his arrows.
领他出埃及的神, 对他好像野牛的角; 他要吞吃敌国, 打碎他们的骨头, 用箭射透他们.

他蹲伏躺下, 好像公狮, 又像母狮, 谁敢使他起立呢? 给你祝福的, 愿他蒙福; 咒诅你的, 愿他受咒诅. ’”

巴兰对巴勒说: “我不是告诉了你派来的使者说:

24:13 ‘If Balak gave to me the fullness of his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond the command of Yahweh to do good or evil, from my heart; what Yahweh speaks, I will speak’?
‘就算巴勒把满屋的金银给我, 我也不能越过耶和华的命令, 随自己的心意行好行歹’吗? 耶和华说什么, 我就说什么.

24:14 And now, look, I am about to go to my people; I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the following days.”
现在我要回我本族去了; 你来, 我要告诉你这个民族日后要怎样待你的人民. ”

24:15 And he uttered his oracle and said, “The declaration of Balaam son of Beor, and the declaration of the man whose eye is closed,
他就作歌, 说: “比珥的儿子巴兰说: ‘开着眼的人说,

24:16 the declaration of the hearer of God’s words, and the knower of the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of Shaddai, who is falling, and his eyes are revealed.
那得听神的话语,明白至高者的知识,得见全能者的异象,身体仆倒而眼目睁开的人说:

24:17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; a star will go out from Jacob, and a scepter will rise from Israel; it will crush the foreheads of Moab and destroy all the children of Seth.
我看见他, 却不是现在; 我望见他, 却不是近处; 必有一星从雅各而出, 必有一杖从以色列兴起; 他必打碎摩押的额角, 粉碎一切舍特人的头顶.

24:18 Edom will be a captive; Seir, its enemies, will be a captive, and Israel will be acting courageously.
他必得以东作产业, 又得仇敌之地西珥作产业; 只有以色列人成为强壮.

24:19 Someone from Jacob will rule and will destroy a remnant from the city.”
有一位从雅各而出的必掌大权, 他要除灭城中余下的人. ’”

24:20 And he looked at Amalek, uttered his oracle, and said, “Amalek is first of the nations, but his future will be forever ruin.”
巴兰看见了亚玛力, 就作歌, 说: “亚玛力原是列国之首, 他的结局却是灭亡. ”

24:21 And he looked at the Kenites, uttered his oracle, and said, “Steady is your dwelling place; in the rock is your nest.
巴兰看见了基尼人, 就作歌, 说: “你的居所坚固, 你的窝巢建在磐石中;

24:22 Nevertheless, the Kenite will be burned; how long will Asshur keep you captive?”
但基尼必被毁灭; 亚述要到几时才把你掳去呢? ”

24:23 Again he uttered his oracle and said, “Woe, who will live when God establishes this?
巴兰又作歌, 说: “哀哉, 神决定这事, 谁能得活呢?

24:24 The ships will come from the hand of the Kittim, and they will afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber; also he will be forever ruin.”
必有船从基提而来, 苦害亚述, 苦害希伯; 他却要灭亡. ”

24:25 Then Balaam got up and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went on his way.
于是巴兰起来, 回自己的地方去; 巴勒也回去了.

可以在他们面前出入; 带领他们出入, 免得耶和华的会众好像没有牧人的羊一样. ”

27:18 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and place your hand on him.
耶和华对摩西说: “你要拣选嫩的儿子约书亚, 他心里有圣灵, 你要按手在他头上,

27:19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before the entire community, and commission him in their sight.

29:40 So Moses said to the Israelites in accordance with all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
于是, 摩西照着耶和华吩咐他的一切话, 对以色列人说了.

Numbers - Chapter 30

30:1 Then Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes concerning the Israelites, saying, “This is the word that Yahweh commanded:
摩西告诉以色列人众支派的领袖: “这是耶和华吩咐的话:

30:2 if a man makes a vow for Yahweh or swears an oath with a binding pledge on himself, he must not render his word invalid; he must do all that went out from his mouth.
如果人向耶和华许愿, 或是起誓要约束自己, 就不可食言, 总要照着自己口里所出的一切话行.

30:3 “If a woman makes a vow to Yahweh, and she binds a pledge on herself in her father’s house in your childhood,
女子年幼还在父家的时候, 如果向耶和华许愿要约束自己,

30:4 but if her father hears her vow or her pledge that she bound on herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows will stand, and every pledge that she binds on her life will stand.
她父亲若是听见她所许的愿和约束自己的话, 却对她默不作声, 她所许的一切愿和所说约束自己的话, 就为有效.

30:5 If her father forbids her on the day he hears of it, all her vows or her pledges that she bound on herself will not stand, and Yahweh will forgive her because her father has forgiven her.
但是她父亲听见的时候, 如果阻止她, 她所许的愿和所说约束自己的话, 就都为无效; 耶和华也必赦免她, 因为她父亲阻止她.

30:6 “If she has a husband while bound by her vows or a rash promise of her lips,
“如果她已嫁了丈夫, 她许愿或嘴里说冒失话约束自己的时候,

30:7 and her husband hears of it and is silent on the day he hears it, her vows will stand, and her pledge that she bound upon herself will stand.
她丈夫听见了, 但在听见的时候, 默不作声, 她所许的愿和约束自己的话, 就为有效.

30:8 But if on the day her husband hears of it, he forbids her, then he will nullify her vow that she is under, and the rash promise of her lips that she bound on herself; and Yahweh will forgive her.
但是她丈夫听见的时候, 如果阻止她, 就算废了她所许的愿和她嘴里所说约束自己的冒失话; 耶和华也必赦免她.

30:9 “But the vow of a widow or a woman who is divorced, all that she binds on herself will stand on her.
“寡妇, 或是离了婚的妇人所许的愿, 就是她所说约束自己的一切话, 都为有效.

30:10 But if she made a vow in her husband’s house, or bound herself on a pledge with a sworn oath,
如果她在丈夫家里许了愿, 或用誓言约束自己,

30:11 and her husband heard it but was silent to her, and he did not forbid her, all her vows will stand and every pledge that she bound on herself will stand.
她丈夫听见了, 却默不作声, 也没有阻止她, 她所许的愿和所说一切约束自己的话, 就为有效.

30:12 But if her husband nullified them on the day he hears them, all her vows going out of her lips concerning her vows or the pledge on herself will not stand; her husband has nullified them, and Yahweh will forgive her.
但是她丈夫听见的时候, 如果把这两样都废了, 妇人口中所说一切关于许愿的话和约束自己的话, 都必无效; 她丈夫已经把这两样都废了, 耶和华也必赦免她.

30:13 “Any vow and any sworn oath of a pledge to inflict on herself, her husband can confirm it or her husband can nullify it.
“妇人所许的愿和刻苦约束自己所起的誓, 她丈夫都可以确立, 也可以废去.

30:14 But if her husband is completely silent from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her pledges that are on her; he confirms them because he was silent to her on the day he heard them.
如果她丈夫天天向她默不作声, 那就算是确立她所许的愿和所说约束自己的一切话; 因为丈夫在听见的日子, 向她默不作声, 就使这两样生效.

30:15 But if he indeed nullifies them after he hears them, then he will bear her guilt.”
但是, 如果丈夫听了很久以后, 才把这两样完全废去, 他就要担当妻子的罪孽. ”

30:16 These are the decrees that Yahweh commanded Moses, as between a husband and his wife, and between a father and his daughter, while her childhood is in her father’s house.
以上是耶和华吩咐摩西的条例, 是关于丈夫与妻子, 父亲与女儿, 女儿年幼在父家的时候的条例.

Numbers - Chapter 31

31:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

31:2 “Seek vengeance for the Israelites on the Midianites; afterward you will be gathered to your people.”
“你要在米甸人身上报以色列人的仇, 然后要归到你本族那里去. ”

31:3 Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm yourself from among your men for the battle, so that they will go against Midian to mete out the vengeance of Yahweh on Midian.
摩西对人民说: “要从你们中间使一些人武装起来去作战, 攻击米甸人, 好在米甸人身上为耶和华报仇.

31:4 A thousand from each tribe of every tribe of Israel you will send to battle.”
你们要从以色列众支派中每支派打发一千人去打仗. ”

31:5 So theywere assigned from the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand equipped for battle.
于是从以色列千万人中, 每支派选出一千人, 共有一万二千人, 都武装起来去打仗.

31:6 Moses sent them, a thousand from each tribe, to the battle, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the battle with them, and the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets of the blast were in his hand.
摩西就打发每支派的一千人去打仗, 并且派遣以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈与他们一同去, 非尼哈手里拿着圣所的器皿和吹大声的号筒.

31:7 And they fought against Midian just as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
他们就照着耶和华吩咐摩西的, 去与米甸人作战, 杀死了所有的男人.

31:8 They killed the kings of Midian in addition to the ones they had slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam son of Beor by the sword.
在那些被杀的人以外, 还杀了米甸的五个王, 就是以未,利金,苏珥,户珥和利巴; 又用刀杀了比珥的儿子巴兰.

31:9 The Israelites took captive the women of Midian and their children, and they plundered all their domestic animals and all their livestock and all their wealth.
以色列人掳了米甸人的妇女,孩子; 又掳掠了他们所有的牲畜,羊群和财物;

31:10 They burned all their cities where they dwelled and all their camps with fire.
并用火烧了他们所住地方的一切城市和营寨;

31:11 They took all the plunder and all the war-booty with the humans and domestic animals.
把一切夺来的和掳掠的, 连人带牲畜都带走;

31:12 They brought the captives, the war-booty, and the plunder to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the community of the Israelites, to the camp to the desert-plateau of Moab, which was on the Jordan across Jericho.
他们把俘掳的人和掳来的, 以及夺来的东西, 都带到摩押平原, 约旦河边, 和耶利哥相对的营地那里, 交给摩西和以利亚撒祭司, 以及以色列的会众.

31:13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went out to meet them outside the camp.
摩西和以利亚撒祭司, 以及会众所有的领袖, 都出到营外迎接他们.

31:14 But Moses was angry toward the leaders of the troops, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, who came from the battle of the war.
摩西对作战回来的军官, 就是对千夫长和百夫长发怒.

31:15 And Moses said to them, “You have kept alive every female?
摩西对他们说: “你们让这些妇女存活吗?

31:16 Behold, these women caused the Israelites, by the word of Balaam, to be in apostasy against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so that the plague was among the community of Yahweh.
看哪, 这些妇女因巴兰的计谋, 使以色列人在毗珥的事上, 得罪耶和华, 以致瘟疫临到耶和华的会众身上.

31:17 Now kill every male among the little children, and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man.
现在你们要把所有的男孩都杀了, 也要杀死所有与男人发生过关系的妇人.

31:18 But all the females who have not had sexual intercourse with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
但女孩子中, 没有与男人发生过关系的, 你们都可以让她们活着.

31:19 And you, camp outside the camp seven days; all who killed a person and all who touched the slain purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
你们要在营外驻扎七天, 杀过人的和摸过死尸的, 第三日和第七日都要洁净自己, 你们和你们掳来的人都要这样行.

31:20 You will purify yourselves and every garment and every object of hide and all the work of goats’ hair, and every object of wood.”
你们也要洁净一切衣服,皮具,山羊毛织的物和木器. ”

31:21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of the battle who came from the war, “This is the decree of the law that Yahweh commanded Moses.
以利亚撒祭司对打仗回来的兵丁说: “这是耶和华吩咐摩西的律例:

31:22 Only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead—
金,银,铜,铁,锡,铅,

31:23 everything that will go through the fire—you will pass through the fire, and it will be clean, and only in waters of impurity will it be purified. Whatever does not go into the fire you will pass through the waters.
能够经火的东西, 你们都要使它经火, 就算是洁净了, 但还要用除污水洁净它; 不能经火的, 你们要使它经过水.

31:24 And you will wash your garments on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp.”
第七日, 你们要洗衣服, 就为洁净; 然后才可以进营. ”

31:25 Yahweh said to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

31:26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the families of the community, take count of the war-booty that was captured, both humans and the domestic animals;
“你和以利亚撒祭司, 以及会众的各族长, 要计算俘掳的人和掠得的牲畜的总数.

31:27 divide the war-booty between those who engaged in the war, who went out to the battle, and all the community.
你要把掠夺得的分为两半, 一半给出去打仗的人, 一半给全体会众.

31:28 Exact a tribute for Yahweh from the men of the war, those who went out to the battle, one from five hundred persons, and from the cattle and from the male donkeys and from the flock;
你又要从出去打仗的人所得的, 无论是人,牛,驴, 或羊群之中, 抽出五百分之一作贡物奉给耶和华;

31:29 take from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to Yahweh.
你们要从他们那一半中抽出, 交给以利亚撒祭司, 作耶和华的举祭.

31:30 From half of the Israelites, take one share drawn by lot from the fifty from the humans, from the cattle, from the male donkeys, from the flock, from all the domestic animals, and give them to the Levities who keep the responsibilities of the tabernacle of Yahweh.”
从以色列人那一半中, 无论是人,牛,驴,羊群, 或是各样牲畜, 都要抽出五十分之一, 交给负责看守耶和华帐幕的利未人. ”

31:31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
于是, 摩西和以利亚撒祭司照着耶和华吩咐摩西的行了.

31:32 Thus the war-booty that remained of the plunder that the people of the battle plundered was six hundred and seventy-five thousand flocks of sheep,
掠得的东西, 就是打仗的人所掳掠剩下来的, 共有羊六十七万五千只,

31:33 seventy-two thousand cattle,
牛七万二千头,

31:34 sixty-one thousand male donkeys,
驴六万一千头,

31:35 and the life of humankind, from the women who did not have sexual intercourse with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
没有与男人发生过关系的妇人三万二千人.

31:36 The half of the share that was going out to the battle: the number of the flock of sheep was thee hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred;
出去打仗的人的分, 就是他们所得的那一半, 羊共有三十三万七千五百只;

31:37 the tribute to Yahweh from the flock was six hundred and seventy-five;
这些羊群中, 归耶和华作贡物的, 有六百七十五只.

31:38 and the cattle were thirty-six thousand; and the tribute to Yahweh was seventy-two.
牛三万六千头, 归耶和华为贡物的, 有七十二只.

31:39 Of the male donkeys there were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute to Yahweh was sixty-one;
驴三万零五百头, 归耶和华为贡物的有六十一匹.

31:40 the humans were sixteen thousand, and the tribute to Yahweh was thirty-two persons.
人口一万六千, 归给耶和华作贡物的, 有三十二人.

31:41 And Moses gave away the tribute of the contribution of Yahweh to Eleazar the priest, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
摩西照着耶和华吩咐他的, 把贡物, 就是耶和华的举祭, 交给以利亚撒祭司.

31:42 From the half of the Israelites, which Moses divided from the men who were fighting,
以色列人所得的那一半, 就是摩西从打仗的人取来分给他们的

31:43 the half that belonged to the community was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred from the flock,
(属于会众的那一半, 有羊三十三万七千五百只,

31:44 and thirty-six thousand cattle,
牛三万六千头,

31:45 and thirty thousand five hundred male donkeys,
驴三万零五百头,

31:46 and sixteen thousand humans.
人口一万六千);

31:47 From the half that belonged to the Israelites, Moses took one share drawn by lot out of every fifty humans and domestic animals, and he gave them to the Levites, who keep the responsibility of the tabernacle of Yahweh, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
摩西照着耶和华吩咐他的, 从属于以色列人的那一半, 无论是人口或是牲畜, 都抽出五十分之一, 交给负责看守耶和华帐幕的利未人.

31:48 Then the leaders of the thousands of the army, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, approached Moses,
统领万军的军长,千夫长和百夫长, 都来见摩西,

31:49 and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken count of the men of war who were in our charge, and no man is missing from us.
对摩西说: “你仆人手下作战的士兵, 已经计算总数, 没有缺少一人.

31:50 So we brought the offering of Yahweh, what each man found, objects of gold, bangles, bracelets, rings, earrings, and female ornaments, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh.”
现在我们把耶和华的供物, 都送来了, 就是我们各人所得的金器,脚链子,镯子,打印戒指,耳环,手钏, 好在耶和华面前, 为我们自己赎罪. ”

31:51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all objects of work.
摩西和以利亚撒祭司就收了他们的金子, 就是各样金子做成的器皿.

31:52 All the gold of the contribution that they raised up to Yahweh, from the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
千夫长和百夫长献给耶和华为举祭的一切金子, 共有两百多公斤.

31:53 The men of battle plundered each for himself.
士兵都各自夺取了财物.

31:54 So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of the thousands and hundreds, and they brought it to the tent of the assembly as a memorial for the Israelites before Yahweh.
摩西和以利亚撒祭司就从千夫长和百夫长手中收了金子, 把它带进会幕里去, 在耶和华面前作以色列人的记念.

Numbers - Chapter 32

32:1 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad had a very large number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold it was a place for livestock.
流本子孙和迦得子孙的牲畜极其众多; 他们看见雅谢地和基列地都是可牧放牲畜的地方,

32:2 The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben came, and they said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community, saying,
就来对摩西和以利亚撒祭司, 以及会众的首领说:

32:3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
“亚大录,底本,雅谢,宁拉,希实本,以利亚利,示班,尼波,比稳,

32:4 the land that Yahweh struck before the community of Israel, is a land of livestock, and your servants have livestock.”
就是耶和华在以色列会众面前攻取的地, 是可牧放牲畜的地, 你仆人也有牲畜. ”

32:5 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as property; do not lead us across the Jordan.”
他们又说: “如果我们在你眼前蒙恩, 求你把这地给你的仆人作产业, 不要叫我们过约旦河. ”

32:6 But Moses said to the descendants of Gad and to the descendants of Reuben, “Will your brothers go to war while you yourselves live here?
摩西对迦得子孙和流本子孙说: “难道你们的兄弟去打仗, 你们却坐在这里吗?

32:7 Why are you discouraging the hearts of the Israelites from crossing into the land that Yahweh gave to them?
你们为什么使以色列人灰心, 不过河到耶和华赐给他们的地那里去呢?

32:8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
我从前从加低斯．巴尼亚派你们的先祖去窥探那地的时候, 他们也是这样行.

32:9 When they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the Israelites so that they did not come to the land that Yahweh gave to them.
他们上到以实各谷, 看了那地, 就使以色列人灰心, 不进耶和华赐给他们的地那里去.

32:10 So Yahweh’s anger burned on that day, and he swore an oath, saying,
当日耶和华的怒气发作, 就起誓说:

32:11 ‘The men who went up from Egypt, from those twenty years old and above, will not see the land that I swore with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because they have not wholly followed me,
‘从埃及上来二十岁以上的人, 必不得看见我对亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许的地, 因为他们没有专心跟从我.

32:12 except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, because they followed Yahweh wholly.’
唯独基尼洗人耶孚尼的儿子迦勒, 和嫩的儿子约书亚可以看见, 因为他们专心跟从耶和华. ’

32:13 And Yahweh became angry, and he made them wander in the desert forty years until the entire generation who did evil in the sight of Yahweh had died.
耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 使他们在旷野飘流了四十年, 等到在耶和华眼前行恶的那一代都灭尽了.

32:14 Behold, you stand in the place of your fathers, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more Yahweh’s fierce anger against Israel.
现在, 你们这些罪人的族类, 也来接替你们的先祖, 增添耶和华对以色列的烈怒!

32:15 If you turn from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you would have destroyed all these people.”
如果你们转离, 不跟从他, 他再要把以色列人撇在旷野, 这样, 你们就要把整个民族都毁灭了. ”

32:16 They came near to him and said, “We will build sheep pens here for the flock of our livestock and cities for our little children;
两支派的人走到摩西跟前, 对他说: “我们要在这里给我们的牲畜筑羊圈, 给我们的孩子建城邑.

32:17 but we ourselves will become armed and ready before the Israelites until we have brought them to their place, and our little children will live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
我们自己却要武装起来, 行在以色列人前头上阵, 直到把他们领到他们自己的地方, 但我们的孩子因为这地居民的缘故, 要住在坚固的城里.

32:18 We will not return to our houses until the Israelites each obtain their inheritance for themselves.
我们决不回家, 直等到以色列人各自承受了产业.

32:19 For we will not take possession with them from across the Jordan and beyond because our inheritance has come to us from across the Jordan to the east.”
我们不与他们在约旦河西边之地同受产业, 因为我们的产业是坐落在约旦河东边. ”

32:20 So Moses said to them, “If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before Yahweh for the war,
摩西对他们说: “如果你们这样行, 在耶和华面前武装起来去作战,

32:21 and everyone of you armed cross the Jordan before Yahweh until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
你们所有武装起来的人, 都要在耶和华面前过约旦河, 直到他把他的仇敌从自己面前赶出去,

32:22 and the land is subdued before Yahweh, then afterward you will return and be free of obligation from Yahweh and from Israel, and this land will be your property before Yahweh.
直到那地在耶和华面前被征服了, 然后才回家, 这样你们对耶和华和对以色列就算无罪, 这地也可以在耶和华面前归你们作产业.

32:23 But if you do not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh, and know that your sin will find you.
如果你们不这样行, 就得罪了耶和华; 你们要知道你们的罪必追上你们.

32:24 Build for yourselves cities for your little children and sheep pens for your flocks; what has gone out from your mouth you will do.”
现在你们只管照你们口中所出的话去行, 为你们的孩子建城, 为你们的羊群筑圈. ”

32:25 So the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben said to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.
迦得子孙和流本子孙告诉摩西: “你仆人必照着我主吩咐的去行.

32:26 Our little children, our wives, our livestock, and all of our animals will remain in the cities of Gilead,
我们的孩子,妻子,羊群和所有的牲畜, 都要留在基列的各城;

32:27 but your servants, everyone who is armed for battle, will cross over before Yahweh to the war, just as my lord says.”
但你的仆人, 所有武装起来预备打仗的, 都要照着我主所说的, 在耶和华面前过去作战. ”

32:28 So Moses commanded them, Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the Israelites.
于是, 摩西为了他们, 嘱咐以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚, 以及以色列众支派的族长,

32:29 Moses said to them, “If the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben, everyone who is armed for the war, cross over the Jordan before Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, you will give them the land of Gilead as property.
对他们说: “迦得的子孙和流本的子孙, 所有武装起来, 在耶和华面前预备去作战的人, 如果与你们一同过约旦河, 那地在你们面前被征服了, 你们就要把基列地给他们作产业.

32:30 But if they will not cross over with you armed, they will acquire land in your midst in Canaan.”
他们若是不武装起来, 与你们一同过去, 他们就要在迦南地在你们中间同得产业. ”

32:31 The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben answered and said, “What Yahweh has commanded your servants, we will do.
迦得的子孙和流本的子孙回答, 说: “耶和华怎样吩咐仆人, 我们就怎样行.

32:32 We ourselves will cross over armed before Yahweh to the land of Canaan, and the property of our inheritance will remain with us beyond the Jordan.”
我们要武装起来, 在耶和华面前过河, 到迦南地去; 只是约旦河这边的地方, 要归我们作产业. ”

32:33 So Moses gave to them, to the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben, and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon the king of Amorites and the kingdom of Og the king of the Bashan, the land with its cities and their territories, the cities of the surrounding land.
于是摩西把亚摩利王西宏的国, 和巴珊王噩的国, 连那地, 和境内城市, 以及那地周围的城市, 都给了迦得的子孙,流本的子孙和约瑟的儿子玛拿西的半个支派.

32:34 The descendants of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, and Aroer,
迦得的子孙修筑了底本,亚他录,亚罗珥,

32:35 and Atroth Shophan, Jazer, and Jogbehah,
亚他录．朔反,雅谢,约比哈,

32:36 and Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran, the cities of Mibzar, and the sheep pens for flocks.
伯．宁拉,伯．哈兰这些坚固的城市和羊圈.

32:37 The descendants of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
流本的子孙修筑了希实本,以利亚利,基列亭,

32:38 and Nebo, Baal Meon (their names were changed), and Sibmah, and they renamed the cities that they rebuilt.
尼波,巴力．免(以上的名字是改了的),西比玛; 又为他们修筑的城市起了别的名字.

32:39 The descendants of Makir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and they captured it and drove out the Amorites who were in it.
玛拿西的儿子玛吉的子孙到基列去, 攻取了那地, 把住在那里的亚摩利人赶走.

32:40 So Moses gave Gilead to Makir son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
摩西把基列给了玛拿西的儿子玛吉, 玛吉就住在那里.

32:41 And Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their unwalled villages, and he called them Havvoth Jair.
玛拿西的儿子睚珥, 去攻取了亚摩利人的村庄, 就把这些村庄叫作哈倭特．睚珥.

32:42 Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah after his own name.
挪巴去攻取了基纳和基纳的小村镇, 就用自己的名字叫基纳为挪巴.

“你要吩咐以色列说: ‘你们过约旦河到了迦南地的时候,

33:52 you will drive out the inhabitants of the land from your presence, and you will destroy all their idols and all the images of their molten idols, and you will demolish all their high places;
就要把所有的居民从你们面前赶出去, 毁坏他们的一切雕像, 以及一切铸像, 又拆毁他们的一切邱坛.

33:53 you will dispossess the land and live in it because I have given the land to you to possess it.
你们要占领那地, 住在那里, 因为我已经把那地赐给你们作产业.

33:54 You will distribute the land by lot according to your clans; to the larger group you will give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller group you will give less inheritance. However the lot falls for him, there the lot will be. You will distribute it according to the tribes of your ancestors.
你们要按着家族抽签承受那地作产业; 人多的, 要把产业多分给他们; 人少的, 要把产业少分给他们; 抽签抽出那地归谁, 就归谁; 你们要按着宗族支派承受产业.

33:55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from your presence, then it will happen that whomever you let remain of them will be like irritants in your eyes and like thorns in your sides; they will be your enemies in the land in which you live.
如果你们不把那地的居民从你们面前赶出去, 所留下的人就必成为你们眼中的刺, 肋旁的荆棘, 在你们所住的地方扰害你们;

33:56 And just as I planned to do to them, I will do to you.’ ”
并且我原计划怎样待他们, 也要怎样待你们. ’”

Numbers - Chapter 34

34:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

34:2 “Command the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that was allotted to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries.
“你要吩咐以色列人说: ‘你们进了迦南地的时候, 归你们作产业的迦南地及它的四境就是以下这些地区.

34:3 Your southern edge will be from the desert of Zin toward the side of Edom, and your southern border will be from the end of the Salt Sea to the east;
你们南面的地区要从寻的旷野, 贴着以东边界; 你们的南界要从盐海东面的尽头起;

34:4 your boundary will turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and will pass over to Zin, and its limits will be from the south of Kadesh Barnea; it will continue to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon.
你们的边界要转到亚克拉滨坡的南边, 经过寻, 直达加低斯．巴尼亚的南边, 又出到哈萨．亚达, 过到押们;

34:5 The boundary will turn from Azmon to the valley of Egypt, and its limits will be to the sea.
你们的边界要从押们转到埃及河, 直达到海.

34:6 “ ‘Your western boundary will be the Great Sea; this will be your western boundary.
“‘西界方面, 你们有大海和海岸; 这要作你们的西界.

34:7 Your northern border will be from the Great Sea; you will make a boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.
“‘你们的北界如下: 从大海起画界, 直到何珥山;

34:8 From Mount Hor you will make a boundary to reach Hamath; the limits of the territory will be at Zedad.
从何珥山起画界, 直到哈马口, 使边界直到西达达;

34:9 The boundary will go out to Ziphron, and its limits will be at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary to the north.
这边界再伸到西斐仑, 直到哈萨．以难; 这要作你们的北界.

34:10 “ ‘You will mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar Enan to Shepham;
“‘你们要从哈萨．以难, 画到示番为东界.

34:11 the boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah from the east side of Ain, and the boundary will go down and border on the eastern side of the Sea of Kinnereth.
这边界要从示番下到亚延东面的利比拉; 这边界要继续伸展直达基尼烈湖的东边.

34:12 The boundary will go down to the Jordan, and its limits will be at the Salt Sea. This will be your land according to its boundaries all around.’ ”
这边界要下到约旦河, 直到盐海. 这要作你们的土地四周的边界. ’”

34:13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, saying, “This is the land that you will obtain as an inheritance for yourself by lot, which Yahweh commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.
摩西吩咐以色列人说: “这就是你们要抽签承受为业之地, 是耶和华吩咐给九个半支派的;

34:14 For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites, the children of the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh took their inheritance according to the house of their families.
因为流本子孙的支派和迦得子孙的支派, 按着父家已经取得了产业, 玛拿西的半个支派也取得了产业;

34:15 The two and a half tribes have taken their inheritance from beyond the Jordan across Jericho, east toward the sunrise.”
这两个半支派已经在耶利哥对面, 约旦河东岸, 向日出之地得了产业. ”

34:16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

34:17 “These are the names of the men who divide up the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
“这是要把地业分配给你们的人的名字: 以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚.

34:18 You will take one leader from every tribe to divide up the land for inheritance.
你们又要从每支派中选出一个领袖, 来帮助分配地业.

34:19 These are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

34:20 of the tribe of the descendants of Simeon, Samuel son of Ammihud;
西缅子孙的支派有亚米忽的儿子示母利.

这些人, 就是耶和华所吩咐, 把产业分给迦南地的以色列人的.

Numbers - Chapter 35

35:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses on the desert plains of Moab beyond the Jordan across Jericho, saying,
耶和华在耶利哥对面, 约旦河边的摩押平原, 对摩西说:

35:2 “Command the Israelites that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their property cities to live in; and you will give to the Levites pastureland all around the cities.
“你要吩咐以色列人, 叫他们从所得为业的地中, 把一些城给利未人居住, 也把这些城周围的郊区给利未人.

35:3 The cities will be theirs to live in, and their pasturelands will be for their domestic animals, for their possessions, and their animals.
这些城要归他们居住, 城的郊区可以牧放他们的牛羊和一切牲畜, 也可以存放他们的财物.

35:4 “The pasturelands of the cities that you will give to the Levites will extend from the wall of the city to a distance of a thousand cubits all around.
“你们给利未人的城郊, 要从城墙起, 周围向外量四百五十公尺.

35:5 You will measure outside the city the eastern edge two thousand cubits, for the southern edge two thousand cubits, for the western edge two thousand cubits, and for the northern edge two thousand cubits, with the city in the middle; this will be for them the pasturelands of the cities.
你们又要从城外, 向东面量九百公尺, 向南面量九百公尺, 向西面量九百公尺, 向北面量九百公尺, 城在中间; 这要归给他们作城外的郊区.

35:6 “All the cities that you will give the Levites will be six cities of refuge, to which the killer can flee; in addition to them you will give forty-two cities.
你们分给利未人的城, 其中要有六座避难城, 让误杀人的可以逃到那里去, 此外还要给他们四十二座城.

35:7 All the cities that you will give to the Levites will be forty-eight cities, them with their pasturelands.
这样, 你们所要给利未人的城, 共为四十八座, 连城带城郊都要给他们.

35:8 And the cities that you will give from the property of the Israelites, you will take more from the larger group and less from the smaller group; each of them will give according to the portion of their inheritance according to the portion that he inherits.”
从以色列人所得的地业中, 你们要把一些城给利未人, 人多的就要多给, 人少的就要少给; 每个支派要照着自己承受的产业, 把城分给利未人. ”

35:9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

35:10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“你要吩咐以色列人说: ‘你们过约旦河, 进到迦南地的时候,

35:11 you will select for yourselves cities for your cities of refuge, that a killer who has killed a person unintentionally can flee there.
就要选择几座城, 给你们作避难城, 让误杀人的, 就是无心杀死人的, 可以逃到那里.

35:12 The cities will be to you a refuge from a redeemer, so that the killer will not die until he stands before the community for judgment.
它们可以作你们逃避报仇者的避难城, 使误杀人的不至于死, 直到他站在会众面前受审判.

35:13 The cities that you are to give will be your six cities of refuge.
你们指定的城, 要给你们作六座避难城.

35:14 You will give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they will be cities of refuge.
在约旦河东面, 你们要分出三座城; 在迦南地, 你们也要分出三座城, 都要作避难城.

35:15 To the Israelites, to the alien, and to the temporary resident in their midst there will be these six cities as a refuge to which anyone who unintentionally kills a person may flee.
这六座城要给以色列人和外族人, 以及他们中间居住的人作避难城, 使无心杀人的人, 都可以逃到那里去.

35:16 “ ‘But if he hit him with an object of iron, so that he dies, the killer must surely be put to death.
“‘如果人用铁器打人, 以致把人打死, 他就是故意杀人的; 故意杀人的必被处死.

35:17 And if he hit him with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, and he does die, he is a killer; the killer must surely be put to death.
如果人手里拿着可以打死人的石头打人, 以致把人打死, 他就是故意杀人的; 故意杀人的必被处死.

35:18 Or if he hit him with a wooden object, by which he will die, and he does die, he is a killer; the killer must surely be put to death.
如果人手里拿着可以打死人的木器打人, 以致把人打死, 他就是故意杀人的; 故意杀人的必被处死.

35:19 The blood avenger himself will put the killer to death; he must put him to death when meeting him.
报血仇的, 要亲自把那故意杀人的杀死; 一遇见他, 就可以杀死他.

35:20 If he shoves him in hatred, or he throws something at him with intention, and he dies,
如果人因怀恨把人推倒, 或是埋伏着向人扔东西, 以致把人打死;

35:21 or if he hits him in hostility with his hand, and he dies, the one that struck him will put to death the killer when meeting him.
或者因仇恨用手打人, 以致把人打死; 那打人的, 必被处死, 因为他是故意杀人的; 报血仇的一遇见凶手, 就可以杀死他.

35:22 “ ‘Or if in an instant he shoved him, not in hostility, or threw something at him without intention,
“‘但是, 如果人没有仇恨, 忽然把人推倒, 或是无意向人投掷什么器皿,

35:23 or with any stone, without seeing it dropped on him so that he dies, while he was not seeking his injury,
或是因为没有看见, 用任何可以打死人的石头, 扔在人身上, 以致把人打死, 他本来与他无仇, 也无意害他;

35:24 then the community will judge between the striker and between the blood avenger according to these ordinances.
这样, 会众就要照着典章, 在打死人的和报血仇的人中间施行裁判.

35:25 The community will deliver the killer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the community will restore him to the city of his refuge to which he fled; and he will live there in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with holy oil.
会众要把误杀人的, 从报血仇的人手中救出来; 他要住在城中, 直到受膏的大祭司死了.

35:26 But if the killer surely goes out of the territory of the city of his refuge to which he fled,
但误杀人的, 若是出了他逃进的避难城的境界,

35:27 and the blood avenger finds him outside the territory of the city of his refuge, and the blood avenger kills the killer, he will not be guilty of blood
报血仇的在避难城境外遇着他, 把他杀了, 报血仇的就没有犯流人血的罪.

35:28 because he must live in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the killer will return to the land of his property.
因为那误杀人的应该住在避难城中, 直到大祭司死了; 大祭司死了以后, 那误杀人的才可以回到他自己地业去.

35:29 These things will be as a decree of justice for you for your generations in all your dwellings.
“‘这在你们一切居住的地方, 要作你们世世代代的律例典章.

35:30 “ ‘If anyone kills a person, the killer will be put to death according to the testimony of witnesses, but someone cannot die on testimony of one person.
杀人的, 要凭着几个见证人的口供, 才可以把他处死; 如果只有一个见证人, 就不能指证把人处死.

35:31 Also, you will not take a ransom payment for the life of a killer who is guilty of death; indeed, he must surely be put to death.
犯了死罪, 故意杀人的, 你们不可收取赎价代他赎命, 因为他必被处死.

35:32 You will not take a ransom payment for the one that flees to the city of his refuge, so that he may return to live in the land before the death of the priest.
逃到避难城的人, 你们也不可收取他的赎价, 使他在大祭司未死以前回到本地居住.

35:33 So you will not pollute the land in which you are; because blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is poured out on it except with the blood of the one who poured it out.
这样, 你们就没有玷污你们居住的地, 因为血能玷污地; 在地上如果有流人血的, 除非流那故意杀人者的血, 那地的血就不能得赎.

35:34 You will not defile the land on which you are living because I am living in the midst of it; I am Yahweh; I am living in the midst of the Israelites.’ ”
你们不可玷污你所住的地, 就是我居住的地, 因为我耶和华是居住在以色列人中间的. ’”

Numbers - Chapter 36

36:1 The leaders of the families of the clans of descendants of Gilead the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the clans of the descendants of Joseph came near and spoke before Moses and before the leaders of the families of the Israelites.
约瑟后裔的家族中, 有玛拿西的孙子,玛吉的儿子基列的子孙, 他们族中的首领都前来, 在摩西面前, 在各家族作首领的领袖面前, 和在以色列人面前说:

36:2 And they said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land by lot as an inheritance to the Israelites, and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
“耶和华曾经吩咐我主要凭抽签把地分给以色列人为业; 我主也受了耶和华的吩咐, 要把我们兄弟西罗非哈的产业分给他的众女儿.

36:3 But if they become wives to one of the sons from another tribe of the Israelites, their inheritance will disappear from the inheritance of our ancestors, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; the lot of our inheritance would disappear.
但是, 如果她们嫁给以色列中别的支派的人, 她们的产业就必从我们祖宗的产业中被取去, 加在他们丈夫支派的产业上; 这样, 我们抽签所得的产业就失去了.

36:4 When the Jubilee of the Israelites comes, it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; and their inheritance will disappear from the tribe of our father.”
到了以色列人的禧年, 她们的产业就要加在她们丈夫支派的产业上; 这样, 她们的产业就要从我们祖宗支派的产业中被拿去了. ”

36:5 Then Moses commanded the Israelites by the command of Yahweh, saying, “The tribe of the descendants of Joseph is right regarding what they are speaking.
摩西照着耶和华的话, 吩咐以色列说: “约瑟支派的人说得对.

36:6 This is the word that Yahweh commanded the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry whomever they like; only they must marry from within the clan of the tribe of their father.
论到西罗非哈的众女儿, 耶和华吩咐的话是这样: ‘她们可以随意嫁自己喜欢的人, 但是, 只能嫁给同族同支派的人作妻子.

36:7 Thus an inheritance of the Israelites will not go around from tribe to tribe. Rather, the inheritance of each tribe of his father will remain with the Israelites.
这样, 以色列人的产业, 就不会从一个支派转到另一个支派去; 因为以色列人要各自守住自己祖宗支派的产业.

36:8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from the tribes of the Israelites will marry one of the clan of the tribe of her father, so that the Israelites will possess the inheritance of his ancestors.
从以色列支派中得了产业的女子, 要嫁给自己祖宗支派的人作妻子, 好使以色列人可以各自承受自己祖宗的产业.

36:9 Therefore an inheritance will not go around from one tribe to another tribe because the tribes of the Israelites will each hold to their own inheritance.’ ”
这样, 以色列人的产业, 就不会从一个支派转到另一个支派去; 因为以色列人的支派要各自守住自己的产业. ’”

36:10 Just as Yahweh commanded to Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did:
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西, 西罗非哈的众女儿就怎样行.

36:11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married the sons of their uncles.
西罗非哈的女儿玛拉,得撒,曷拉,密迦,挪阿, 都嫁给了自己叔伯的儿子作妻子.

36:12 They married those from the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained among the tribe of the clan of their ancestors.
她们嫁给了约瑟的儿子玛拿西子孙家族的人作妻子; 她们的产业仍然留在自己的支派中.

36:13 These were the commands and the stipulations that Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses to the Israelites on the desert-plateaus of Moab by the Jordan across Jericho.
这是耶和华在耶利哥对面, 约旦河边的摩押平原, 借着摩西向以色列人吩咐的命令和典章.

Deuteronomy (申命记)

Deuteronomy - Chapter 1

1:1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all of Israel on the other side of the Jordan in the desert, in the desert plateau opposite Suph, between Paran and between Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab.
以下是摩西在约旦河东的旷野, 疏弗对面的亚拉巴, 就是在巴兰和陀弗,拉班,哈洗录,底撒哈之间, 向以色列人所说的话.

1:2 It is a journey of eleven days from Herob by the way of Mount Seir up to Kadesh Barnea.
从何烈山经过西珥山的路, 到达加低斯．巴尼亚, 共有十一天的路程.

1:3 And it was in the fortieth year, on the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the Israelites according to all that Yahweh had instructed him to speak to them.
出埃及以后第四十年十一月一日, 摩西照着耶和华吩咐他一切关于以色列人的话, 都告诉了他们.

1:4 This happened after defeating Sihon king of the Amorites, who was reigning in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who was reigning in Ashtaroth in Edrei.
当时, 他已经击败了住在希实本的亚摩利人的王西宏, 和住在亚斯他录与以得来的巴珊王噩.

1:5 On the other side of the Jordan in the land of Moab Moses began to explain this law, saying:
摩西在约旦河东的摩押地, 开始讲解这律法, 说:

1:6 “Yahweh our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.
“耶和华我们的神, 在何烈山告诉我们: ‘你们在这山上住够了;

1:7 Turn now and move on, and go into the hill of the Amorites and to all of the neighboring regions in the Jordan Valley in the hill country and in the Negev and in the coastal area along the sea, into the land of the Canaanites and into the Lebanon, as far as the great river Euphrates.
现在你们要转回, 起程到亚摩利人的山地去, 到那些住在亚拉巴,山地,低地,南地,沿海一带,迦南人的地,黎巴嫩, 直到大河, 就是幼发拉底河一带的地方去.

1:8 Look, I have set the land before you; go and take possession of the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it to them and to their offspring after them.’
看哪, 我把这地摆在你面前, 你们要进去, 占领这地为业, 就是耶和华向你们列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许给他们和他们的后裔的地. ’

1:9 “And I spoke to them at that time, saying, ‘I am not able to bear you alone.
“那时, 我曾经对你们说: ‘你们的重担, 我独自一人无法担当.

1:10 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and look; you are today as the stars of the heaven in number.
耶和华你们的神使你们多起来; 你们看, 你们今日像天上的星那样多.

1:11 Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, may he add to you as you are now a thousand times, and may he bless you just as he promised you.
愿耶和华你们列祖的神, 使你们比现在更多千倍, 又照着他应许你们的话, 赐福给你们.

1:12 How can I bear you by myself, your burden and your load and your strife?
我独自一人怎能担得起你们的重担,责任和你们争讼的事呢?

1:13 Choose for yourselves wise and discerning and knowledgeable men for each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.’
你们要按着支派选出一些有智慧,有见识,有经验的人, 我就立他们作你们的首领. ’

1:14 “And you answered me, and you said, ‘The thing you have said to do is good.’
你们回答我, 说: ‘你吩咐我们作的事很好. ’

1:15 And so I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and knowledgeable men, and then I appointed them as leaders over you as commanders of groups of thousands and commanders of groups of hundreds and commanders of groups of fifties and commanders of groups of tens as officials for your tribes.
我就选出你们众支派中的领袖, 就是有智慧有经验的人; 按着你们的支派, 立他们作管理你们的首领, 就是作千夫长,百夫长,五十夫长,十夫长和其他官长.

1:16 And at that time I instructed your judges, saying, ‘hear out your fellow men, and then judge fairly between a man and between his brother and between his opponent who is a resident alien.
“那时, 我吩咐你们的审判官, 说: ‘你们在兄弟中听讼, 无论是兄弟彼此诉讼, 或是与同居的外地人诉讼, 都要按着公义审判.

1:17 You must not be partial in your judgment; hear out the small person as also the great person; do not be intimidated by any person, because the judgment is God’s; and the case that is too difficult for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it out.’
审判的时候, 不可偏袒人; 无论贵贱尊卑, 都要一样地听讼; 不可怕人的情面, 因为审判是属于神的; 如果你们遇见难断的案件, 可以呈到我这里来, 让我审断. ’

1:18 And so I instructed you at that time concerning all of the things that you should do.
那时, 我把你们当作的一切事, 都吩咐了你们.

1:19 “Then we set out from Horeb, and we went through the whole of that great and terrible desert that you saw on the way to the hill country of the Amorites as Yahweh our God had commanded us, and so we came up to Kadesh Barnea.
“我们照着耶和华我们的神吩咐我们的, 从何烈山起行, 走过你们所见那大而可怕的旷野, 沿着到亚摩利人山地的路而行; 后来到了加低斯．巴尼亚.

1:20 I said to you, ‘You have reached the hill country of the Amorites that Yahweh our God is giving to us.
我对你们说: ‘你们已经到了亚摩利人的山地, 就是耶和华我们的神赐给我们的.

1:21 See, Yahweh your God has set before you the land; go up and possess it as Yahweh the God of your ancestors said to you; do not fear and do not be dismayed.’
看哪, 耶和华你的神已经把这地摆在你面前; 你要照着耶和华你列祖的神告诉你的上去, 占领那地; 不要害怕, 也不要惊惶. ’

1:22 “Then all of you approached me, and you said, ‘Let us send men before us, and let them explore the land for us, and let them bring back a report to us concerning the way that we should take and concerning the cities that we shall come to.’
你们众人都走到我这里来, 说: ‘我们要先派些人去, 替我们窥探那地, 然后把我们上去该走哪一条路, 该进哪些城, 向我们回报. ’

1:23 The plan was good in my opinion, and so I took from among you twelve men, one from each tribe.
这话我很同意, 就从你们中间选了十二个人, 每支派一人.

1:24 And they set out and went up into the hill country, and they went up to the wadi of Eschol, and they spied out the land.
于是他们转身出发, 上了山地, 到了以实各谷, 窥探那地.

1:25 They took in their hands some of the fruit of the land, and they brought it down to us, and they brought to us back a report, and they said, ‘The land that Yahweh our God is giving to us is good.’
他们手里拿着那地的果子, 带下来到我们这里, 并且向我们回报, 说: ‘耶和华我们的神要赐给我们的地是美地. ’

1:26 But you were not willing to go up, and you rebelled against the command of Yahweh your God.
“但你们不肯上去, 竟违背了耶和华你们的神的吩咐;

1:27 And you grumbled in your tents, and you said, ‘Because of the hatred of Yahweh toward us he has brought us out from the land of Egypt to give us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.
你们在帐幕里抱怨, 说: ‘耶和华因为恨我们, 所以把我们从埃及地领出来, 要把我们交在亚摩利人手中, 消灭我们.

1:28 Where can we go up? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we are, and there are great fortified cities reaching up to heaven, and we saw the sons of the Anakites living there.” ’
我们上哪里去呢? 我们的兄弟使我们心灰意冷, 说: 那地的人比我们高大; 他们的城邑又大又坚固, 高耸入天; 我们在那里还看见有亚衲族的人. ’

1:29 “And so I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, and do not fear them.
我就对你们说: ‘不要惊恐, 不要害怕他们.

1:30 Yahweh your God, who is going before you, will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
耶和华你们的神, 就是那走在你们前面的那一位, 他必为你们作战, 好像他在埃及, 在你们面前, 为你们所行的一切一样,

1:31 and just as he did in the wilderness when you saw that Yahweh your God carried you, just as someone carries his son, all along the way that you traveled until you reached this place.’
并且在旷野里, 你们也看见了耶和华你们的神, 怎样在你们所行的一切路上, 背负你们, 好像人背负自己的儿子一样, 直到你们来到了这地方. ’

1:32 But through all of this you did not trust in Yahweh your God,
虽然这样, 你们还是不信耶和华你们的神;

1:33 who goes before you on your way, seeking a place for your encampment, in fire at night and in a cloud by day, to show you the way that you should go.
他在路上走在你们前面, 为你们寻找安营的地方; 夜间用火柱, 日间用云彩, 指示你们当走的路.

1:34 “Then Yahweh heard the sound of your words, and he was angry, and he swore, saying,
“耶和华听见了你们说话的声音, 就恼怒, 起誓说:

1:35 ‘No one of these men of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,
‘这个邪恶世代的人, 连一个也不能看见我起誓应许赐给他们列祖的美地;

1:36 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; he himself shall see it, and to him I will give the land upon which he has trodden and to his sons because he followed Yahweh unreservedly.’
只有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒可以看见; 并且我要把他踏过的地赐给他和他的子孙, 因为他专心跟从了我耶和华. ’

1:37 Even with me Yahweh was angry because of you, saying, ‘Not even you shall enter there.
因为你们的缘故, 耶和华也向我发怒, 说: ‘你也不能进入那地;

1:38 Joshua, the son of Nun, your assistant, will go there; encourage him because he will cause Israel to inherit it.
但是站在你面前侍候你的嫩的儿子约书亚, 他可以进到那里去; 你要鼓励他, 因为他要使以色列人承受那地为业.

1:39 And your little children, who you thought shall become plunder, and your sons, who do not today know good or bad, shall themselves go there, and I will give it to them, and they shall take possession of it.
还有你们的小孩子, 你们说要被掳掠的, 和你们的儿女, 就是今天还不知道善恶的, 他们都要进入那地; 我要把那地赐给他们, 他们要占领那地.

1:40 But you turn and set out in the direction of the wilderness by way of the Red Sea.’
至于你们, 你们要转回, 经往红海的路, 起程到旷野里去. ’

1:41 “You replied and said to me, ‘We have sinned against Yahweh, and now we will go up and fight according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us’; and so each man fastened on his battle gear, and you regarded it as easy to go up into the hill country.
“那时你们回答我, 说: ‘我们得罪了耶和华; 现在我们愿意照着耶和华我们神的一切吩咐, 上去作战. ’于是你们都预备了兵器, 轻率地上山去了.

1:42 So Yahweh said to me, ‘Say to them, “You shall not go up, and you shall not fight because I am not in your midst; you will be defeated before your enemies.” ’
耶和华对我说: ‘你要对他们说: “你们不要上去, 也不要作战, 因为我不在你们中间, 免得你们在仇敌面前被击败. ”’

1:43 So I spoke to you, but you did not listen; you rebelled against the command of Yahweh; you behaved presumptuously, and you went up into the hill country.
我就告诉你们, 你们却不听从, 竟违背耶和华的吩咐, 擅自上山去了.

1:44 The Amorites living in the hill country went out to oppose you and chased you as a swarm of wild honey bees do; and so they beat you down in Seir as far as Hormah.
住在那山上的亚摩利人, 就出来攻击你们, 好像蜂群一样追赶你们, 在西珥击杀你们, 直到何珥玛.

1:45 So you returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh did not listen to your voice and did not pay any attention to you.
你们就回来, 在耶和华面前哭, 但耶和华不听你们的声音, 也不向你们侧耳.

1:46 You stayed in Kadesh many days; such were the days that you stayed there.
于是你们在加低斯住了许多日子. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 2

2:1 “Then we turned and set out toward the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea, as Yahweh told me, and we went around Mount Seir for many days.
“以后, 我们照着耶和华吩咐我的, 回转过来, 沿着往红海的路起程到旷野去; 我们在西珥山绕行了很多日子.

2:2 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
耶和华对我说:

2:3 ‘Long enough you have been skirting this mountain; turn yourselves north,
‘你们绕行这山的日子已经够了; 现在要转向北去.

2:4 and instruct the people, saying, “You are about to cross through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who are living in Seir; they will be afraid of you, and so be very careful.
你要吩咐人民说: “你们的兄弟以扫的子孙, 住在西珥, 你们现在要经过他们的境界; 他们必惧怕你们, 所以你们要十分谨慎.

2:5 Do not get involved in battle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a foot’s breadth of it; since I have given Mount Seir as a possession for Esau.
不要与他们争执; 他们的地, 连脚掌那么大的一块, 我都不给你们, 因为我已经把西珥山赐给以扫作产业.

2:6 You shall buy food from them so that you may eat; and also you shall purchase water from them with money so that you may drink.
你们要用银子向他们买食物吃; 也要用银子向他们买水喝.

2:7 The fact of the matter is, Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work you have done; he knows your travels with respect to this great wilderness; forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing.” ’
因为耶和华你的神, 对于你手里所作的一切事, 都已经赐福给你; 他也知道你怎样走这大旷野; 这四十年来, 耶和华你们的神常与你同在, 使你毫无缺乏. ”’

2:8 And so we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, past the road of the Arabah, from Elath and Ezion Geber, and we turned and traveled along the route of the desert of Moab.
“于是我们离开我们住在西珥的兄弟以扫的子孙, 继续前行; 沿着亚拉巴的路, 到了以拉他和以旬．迦别, 然后转向摩押旷野的路去.

2:9 And Yahweh said to me, ‘You shall not attack Moab, and you shall not engage in war with them, for I will not give you any of his land as a possession; I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.’
耶和华对我说: ‘你不可敌视摩押人, 也不可与他们争战; 他们的地我不赐给你作产业, 因为我已经把亚珥赐给了罗得的子孙作产业.

2:10 (The Emim previously lived in it, a people large, numerous, and tall, like the Anakites.
(以前有以米人住在那里, 这族人人数众多, 身体高大, 像亚衲族人一样.

2:11 They were reckoned also as Rephaim as the Anakites were; but the Moabites called them Emim.
这以米人, 像亚衲族人一样, 也算为利乏音人; 但摩押人称他们为以米人.

2:12 The Horites previously lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from among themselves, as Israel did with respect to the land of their possession that Yahweh gave to them.)
以前何利人也住在西珥, 但以扫的子孙占领了他们的产业, 消灭了他们, 住在他们那里, 就像以色列在耶和华赐给他们作产业的地上所行的一样. )

2:13 So now arise and cross over the wadi of Zered yourselves; and so we crossed the wadi of Zered.
现在你们要起来, 过撒烈溪. ’于是我们过了撒烈溪.

2:14 Now the length of time that we had traveled from Kadesh Barnea until the time when we crossed the wadi of Zered was thirty-eight years, until the perishing of all of that generation; that is, the men of war from the midst of the camp as Yahweh had sworn to them.
自从我们离开加低斯．巴尼亚, 直到过了撒烈溪的日子, 共有三十八年, 等到那世代的战士都从营中灭绝为止, 正像耶和华向他们所起的誓一样.

2:15 The hand of Yahweh was against them to root them out from the midst of the camp until they perished completely.
耶和华的手攻击了他们, 把他们从营中除灭, 直到灭尽为止.

2:16 “And then when all the men of war had died from among the people,
“所有战士都从民中死尽以后,

2:17 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
耶和华就对我说:

2:18 ‘You are about to cross over the boundary of Moab today at Ar.
‘你今天要经过摩押的境界亚珥;

2:19 When you approach the border of the Ammonites, you shall not harass them, and you shall not get involved in battle with them, for I have not given the land of the Ammonites to you as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants of Lot as a possession.
你走近亚扪人面前的时候, 不可敌视他们, 也不可与他们争执; 亚扪人的地我不赐给你们作产业, 因为我已经把那地赐给了罗得的子孙作产业.

2:20 (It is also considered the land of Rephaim; Rephaim lived in it previously, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummim,
(那地也算为利乏音人的地, 以前利乏音人住在那里, 但亚扪人称他们为散送冥.

2:21 a people great and numerous and as tall as the Anakites; Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they dispossessed them and settled in place of them,
这族人人数众多, 身体高大, 像亚衲族人一样; 但耶和华从亚扪人面前消灭了他们, 亚扪人就占领了他们的地业, 住在那里,

2:22 just as he did for the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them and dispossessed them, and then they settled in their place up to this day.
好像耶和华从前为住在西珥的以扫的子孙所作的一样, 就是把何利人从他们面前消灭, 他们就占领了他们的地业, 住在他们那里, 直到今日.

2:23 And also the Avvites, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, and the Caphtorim, who came out from Caphtor, destroyed them and then settled in their place.
还有亚卫人, 原先住在迦萨附近的各村庄里, 有从迦斐托出来的迦斐托人把他们消灭了, 住在他们那里. )

2:24 Arise, set out and cross over the wadi of Arnon. Look! I have given Sihon the Amorite, the king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand; begin to take possession of it, and engage with him in battle.
现在你要起来, 出发, 过亚嫩谷; 看哪, 我已经把亚摩利人希实本王西宏和他的土地, 交在你的手里了; 你要开始占领那地作产业, 与他争战.

2:25 This day I will begin to place the dread of you and the fear of you before the peoples under all the heavens. They will hear the report about you, and so they will shake and tremble because of you.’
就在今天, 我要使天下万民听见你的消息都惊慌惧怕, 而且因你的缘故发抖疼痛. ’

2:26 “So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon; I sent terms of peace, saying,
“我从基底莫的旷野, 派使者到希实本王西宏那里去, 用和平的话说:

2:27 ‘Let me cross through your land and only along the road I will go; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left.
‘求你让我从你的地经过; 我只走大道, 不偏左也不偏右.

2:28 Food for money you shall sell me, so that I may eat, and water for money you will give to me, so that I may drink; just let me cross on foot.
你可以按着价钱把食物卖给我吃, 也可以按着价钱把水卖给我喝; 只要让我步行过去就是了;

2:29 Just as the descendants of Esau did for me, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, until I cross the Jordan into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us.’
好像住在西珥的以扫子孙, 和住在西珥的摩押人待我一样, 等我过约旦河, 进到耶和华我们的神赐给我们的地去. ’

2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing to let us cross through his territory because Yahweh your God hardened his spirit and made him obstinate in order to give him into your hand, just as he has now done.
但是希实本王西宏不肯让我们从他那里经过, 因为耶和华我们的神使他的心意顽固, 使他的心刚硬, 为要把他交在你的手里, 像今日一样.

2:31 Yahweh said to me, ‘Look! I have begun to give over to you Sihon and his land; begin to take possession of his land.’
耶和华对我说: ‘看哪, 我已经把西宏和他的地交给你了, 你可以占领他的地作产业. ’

2:32 Then Sihon and all his people came out to meet us for battle at Jahaz.
“那时西宏和他所有的人民都出来, 攻击我们, 在雅杂与我们作战.

2:33 And so Yahweh our God gave him over to us, and we struck him down, and his sons and all of his people.
耶和华我们的神把他交给了我们, 我们就把他,他的儿子们和他所有的人民都击杀了.

2:34 So we captured all of his cities at that time, and we destroyed each town of males and the women and the children; we did not leave behind a survivor.
那时我们夺取了他所有的城邑, 把每一座城, 连男带女, 以及小孩子都全部毁灭, 没有留下一个存活的;

2:35 We took only the livestock as spoil for ourselves, and also the booty of the cities that we had captured.
只留下我们掠为己有的牲畜, 和我们夺取城邑所得的战利品.

2:36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi of Arnon and the city that was in the wadi on up to Gilead, there was not a city that was inaccessible to us; Yahweh our God gave everything to us.
从亚嫩谷旁边的亚罗珥和谷中的城, 直到基列, 没有一座城太高, 是我们不能攻下的; 耶和华我们的神把这一切都交给我们了.

2:37 Only the land of the Ammonites you did not approach, all along the whole upper region of the Jabbok River and the towns of the hill country, according to all that Yahweh our God had instructed.
只有亚扪人的地, 雅博河一带的地方, 和山地的城市, 以及耶和华我们的神吩咐我们不可去的地方, 我们都没有走近. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 3

3:1 “Then we turned, and we went up the road to Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us, he and all of his army for the battle at Edrei.
“后来我们回转过来, 沿着到巴珊的路上去; 巴珊王噩和他的众民, 都出来迎着我们, 在以得来与我们作战.

3:2 And Yahweh said to me, ‘You should not fear him, for I have given him and all of his army and his land into your hand. And so you will do to him as you did to Sihon the king of the Amorites, who was reigning in Heshbon.’
耶和华对我说: ‘你不要怕他, 因为我已经把他和他的众民, 以及他的土地, 都交在你的手里; 你要待他, 像从前你待希实本的亚摩利人的王西宏一样. ’

3:3 And so Yahweh our God also gave Og the king of Bashan, and all of his army into our hand, and we struck him down until not a survivor remained to him.
于是耶和华我们的神也把巴珊王噩和他的众民都交在我们的手里; 我们击杀了他们, 没有留下一个存活的人.

3:4 And we captured all of his towns at that time; there was not a city that we did not take from them.
那时, 我们掠夺了他所有的城; 在巴珊王噩的国土里, 亚珥歌的全境, 共有六十座城, 没有一座城不被我们所夺.

3:5 All of these were fortified towns with high walls, gates, and bars, apart from very many of the villages of the open country.
这些城都是以高墙作堡垒, 有城门, 有门闩; 此外, 还有很多没有城墙的乡村.

3:6 And so we destroyed them just as we had done to Sihon the king of Heshbon; we destroyed utterly each town of males, the women, and the little children.
我们把这些都灭尽, 像从前我们待希实本王西宏一样, 把各城中的男女和小孩子都灭尽.

3:7 But all of the livestock and the booty of the towns we kept as spoil for ourselves.
只有城中所有的牲畜和夺得的财物, 都掠为己有.

3:8 “And so we took at that time the land from the control of the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, from the wadi of Arnon up to Mount Hermon.
那时, 我们从约旦河东亚摩利人的两个王手里, 把从亚嫩谷直到黑门山的地夺了过来,

3:9 (The Sidonians called Hermon ‘Sirion,’ and the Amorites called it ‘Senir.’)
(西顿人称黑门山为西连, 亚摩利人却称它为示尼珥. )

3:10 All of the towns of the plateau and the whole of Gilead and all of Bashan up to Salecah and Edrei, the towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
就是夺了平原上所有的城市, 基列全境和巴珊全境, 直到撒迦和以得来, 这都是巴珊王噩国内的城市.

3:11 (For only Og, king of Bashan, was left from the remnant of the Rephaim. Indeed, his bedstead—it was a bedstead of iron. It is in Rabbah of the Ammonites. Nine cubits is its length, and four cubits is its width according to the cubit of a man.)
(利乏音人的余民中, 只留下巴珊王噩一人; 看哪, 他的床是铁的, 长四公尺, 宽两公尺, 这是按一般的尺寸量度, 现在不是还在亚扪人的拉巴吗? )

3:12 And so we took possession of this land at that time, from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi of Arnon, and also half of the hill country of Gilead and its towns I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
“那时, 我们占领了那地, 从亚嫩谷旁边的亚罗珥起, 我把基列山地的一半和其中的城市, 都给了流本人和迦得人.

3:13 And the remainder of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the whole region of Argo. All of that area of Bashan was called the land of the Rephaim.
基列其余的地方和巴珊全境, 就是噩王的国土, 我都给了玛拿西半个支派. 亚珥歌全境就是巴珊全境, 这叫作利乏音人的地.

3:14 Jair the descendant of Manasseh acquired the whole region of Argob, up to the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and he called it, that is Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, as it still is today.
玛拿西的儿子睚珥, 占了亚珥歌全境, 直到基述人和玛迦人的边界, 就按着自己的名字称巴珊全境为哈倭特．睚珥, 直到今日.

3:15 And also I gave Gilead to Makir.
我又把基列给了玛吉.

3:16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave, from Gilead up to the wadi of Arnon, the middle of the wadi as a boundary and up to the Jabbok River, the boundary of the Ammonites.
从基列到亚嫩谷, 以谷的中心为界, 直到亚扪人边界的雅博河, 我都给了流本人和迦得人;

3:17 And the Jordan Valley with the Jordan River as its boundary, from Kinnereth up to the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, with the slopes of Pisgah toward the east.
又把亚拉巴, 和以约旦河为界, 从基尼烈直到亚拉巴海, 就是盐海, 在毗斯迦山坡下东边的地方, 都给了他们.

3:18 “And I charged you all at that time when I said, “Yahweh has given you—to all of you—this land to possess. All the warriors shall cross over, ready to fight, before your brothers, the Israelites.
“那时, 我吩咐你们: ‘耶和华你们的神, 已经把这地赐给你们作产业了; 你们所有的战士, 都要预备好, 在你们的兄弟以色列人面前过河去.

3:19 Only your wives and your little children and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) must stay in your towns that I have given you,
只有你们的妻子,小孩子和牲畜, 可以留在我赐给你们的城里.

3:20 until Yahweh shall give rest to your brothers as he did to you, and also they take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving to them beyond the Jordan; then they may return, each one to his possession that I have given to them.
直到耶和华使你们的兄弟, 像你们一样得了安身的地方; 他们也占领了耶和华你们的神在约旦河西赐给他们的地, 然后你们各人才可以回到我赐给你们作产业的地去. ’

3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes see all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings; so Yahweh will do to all of the kingdoms where you are about to cross over to.
那时, 我吩咐约书亚: ‘你亲眼看见了耶和华你们的神向这两个王所行的一切; 耶和华也必向你正要去的各国照样行.

3:22 You shall not fear them, for Yahweh your God is the one fighting for you.
你们不要怕他们, 因为耶和华你们的神要为你们作战. ’

3:23 “And I pleaded with Yahweh at that time, saying,
“那时, 我恳求耶和华, 说:

3:24 ‘Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your strong hand, for what god is there in the heaven or on the earth who can do according to your works and according to your mighty deeds?
‘主耶和华啊, 你已经把你的伟大和你有能力的手显给你的仆人看; 在天上地下, 哪一个神能有像你所作的工作, 能有像你所行的奇事呢?

3:25 Let me cross over, please, and let me see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, this good hill country and Lebanon.’
求你让我过去, 看看约旦河西的美地, 就是那美好的山地和黎巴嫩. ’

3:26 But Yahweh was very angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me, and Yahweh said, ‘Enough of that from you! You shall not speak to me any longer about this matter!
但耶和华为了你们的缘故, 向我发怒, 不听我的恳求; 耶和华对我说: ‘罢了, 不要向我再提这事了.

3:27 Go up to the top of Pisgah and look around you toward the west, toward the north, and toward the east, and view the land with your eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.
你要上毗斯迦山顶去, 举目向东,南,西,北, 亲眼观看, 因为你不能过这约旦河.

3:28 Now instruct Joshua and support him and encourage him because he himself will cross over before this people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.’
你却要吩咐约书亚, 坚固他, 鼓励他, 因为他要在这人民前面过河去, 使他们承受你看见的这地. ’

3:29 So we remained in the valley opposite Beth Peor.
于是我们住在伯．毗珥对面的谷中. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 4

4:1 “Now, Israel, listen to the rules and to the regulations that I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and you may go in and you may take possession of the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, is giving to you.
“以色列人哪, 现在你们要听我向来教训你们遵行的律例和典章, 使你们可以活着, 可以进去得着耶和华你们列祖的神赐给你们的地作产业.

4:2 You must not add to the word that I am commanding you, and you shall not take away from it in order to keep the commands of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you to observe.
我吩咐你们的话, 你们不可增加, 也不可减少, 好使你们遵守我吩咐你们的, 就是耶和华你们的神的命令.

4:3 Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did with the case of Baal Peor, for each man that followed after Baal Peor Yahweh your God destroyed from your midst.
耶和华因巴力．毗珥的事所行的, 你们都亲眼看见了; 所有跟随巴力．毗珥的人, 耶和华你们的神都从你们中间消灭了.

4:4 But you, the ones holding fast to Yahweh your God, are all alive today.
只有你们紧紧倚靠耶和华你们的神的人, 今日全都活着.

4:5 See, I now teach you rules and regulations just as Yahweh my God has commanded me, to observe them just so in the midst of the land where you are going, to take possession of it.
看哪, 我照着耶和华我的神吩咐我的, 把律例和典章教训你们, 好让你们在将要进去得为业的地上遵行.

4:6 And you must observe them diligently, for that is your wisdom and your insight before the eyes of the people, who will hear all of these rules, and they will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people.’
所以你们要谨守遵行, 因为在万民的眼中看来, 这就是你们的智慧和聪明; 他们一听见这一切律例, 就必定说: ‘这大国的人真是有智慧, 有聪明啊. ’

4:7 For what great nation has for it a god near to it as Yahweh our God, whenever we call upon him?
哪一个大国的人有神与他们这样亲近, 像耶和华我们的神, 在我们每次呼求他的时候, 与我们亲近一样呢?

4:8 And what other great nation has for it just rules and regulations just like this whole law that I am setting before you today?
又哪一个大国有这样公义的律例和典章, 像我今日在你面前颁布的这一切律法呢?

4:9 “However, take care for yourself and watch your inner self closely, so that you do not forget the things that your eyes have seen, so that they do not slip from your mind all the days of your life; and you shall make them known to your children and to your grandchildren.
“你只要自己谨慎, 又要谨守你的心思, 免得你忘了你亲眼看见的事, 又免得这些事在你有生之日离开你的心; 总要把这些事传给你的子子孙孙,

4:10 Remember the day that you stood before Yahweh your God at Horeb when Yahweh said to me, ‘Summon for me the people so that I can tell them my words, that they may learn to fear me all of the days they are alive on the earth and so that they may teach their children.’
免得你忘了你在何烈山, 站在耶和华你们的神面前的那天. 那时耶和华对我说: ‘你要为我召集众民, 我要叫他们听我的话, 使他们在那地上生活的日子, 可以学习敬畏我, 又可以教训自己的儿女. ’

4:11 And so you came near, and you stood under the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire up to the heart of the heaven, dark with a very thick cloud.
那时, 你们走前来, 站在山下; 山上有火烧着, 火焰冲天, 又有黑暗,密云和幽暗.

4:12 And Yahweh spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard a sound of words, but you did not see a form—only a voice.
耶和华从火中对你们说话; 你们只听见声音, 却没有看见形象; 只有声音,

4:13 And he declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he charged you to observe, and he wrote them on the two tablets of stone.
把他的约, 就是他吩咐你们遵守的那十条诫命, 向你们宣布出来; 又把它们写在两块石版上.

4:14 And Yahweh charged me at that time to teach you rules and regulations for your observation of them in the land that you are about to cross into to take possession of it.
那时, 耶和华也吩咐我把律例和典章教训你们, 使你们在将要过去得为业的地上遵行.

4:15 “So you must be very careful for yourselves, because you did not see any form on the day Yahweh spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire,
“所以你们要特别小心, 谨慎自己, 因为耶和华在何烈山从火中对你们说话的那一天, 你们没有看见什么形象;

4:16 so that you do not ruin yourselves and make for yourselves a divine image in a form of any image, a replica of male or female,
恐怕你们败坏自己, 为自己制造偶像, 制造任何神像的形象, 无论是男像或是女像,

4:17 a replica of any animal that is upon the earth, a replica of any winged bird that flies in the air,
或是地上各种走兽的像, 或是飞翔在空中各类有翅膀的雀鸟的像,

4:18 a replica of any creeping thing on the ground, a replica of any fish that is in the water below the earth.
或是地上各种爬行动物的像, 或是地底下水里各样鱼类的像.

4:19 And do this so that you do not lift your eyes toward heaven and observe the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of the heaven, and be led astray and bow down to them and serve them, things that Yahweh your God has allotted to all of the peoples under all of the heaven.
又恐怕你抬头望天, 看见日,月,星, 就是天上万象的时候, 就被勾引, 去敬拜和事奉它们, 那原是耶和华你们的神分给天下万民享用的.

4:20 But Yahweh has taken you and brought you out from the furnace of iron, from Egypt, to be a people of inheritance to him, as it is this day.
耶和华却把你们从埃及, 从铁炉那里领出来, 作他自己的产业, 自己的人民, 像今日一样.

4:21 “And Yahweh was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I would not cross the Jordan and that I would not go to the good land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
耶和华又因你们的缘故, 向我发怒, 并且起誓不让我过约旦河, 也不容我进入耶和华你的神赐给你作产业的那美地.

4:22 For I am going to die in this land; I am not going to cross the Jordan, but you are going to cross, and you are going to take possession of this good land.
我只有死在此地, 不得过约旦河; 你们却可以过去, 取得那美地作产业.

4:23 Watch out for yourselves so that you do not forget the covenant of Yahweh your God that he had made with you and make for yourselves a divine image of the form of anything that Yahweh your God has forbidden,
你们要自己谨慎, 免得你们忘记了耶和华你们的神与你们所立的约, 你们就为自己制造偶像, 制造任何神像的形象, 就是耶和华你的神吩咐你不可作的.

4:24 for Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
因为耶和华你的神是烈火, 是忌邪的神.

4:25 “When you have had children and grandchildren and you have grown old in the land and you act corruptly and you make a divine image of the form of anything and you do evil in the eyes of Yahweh your God, thus provoking him to anger,
“你们生子生孙, 在那地住久了的时候, 如果你们败坏自己, 制造偶像, 制造任何神像的形象, 行耶和华你的神看为恶的事, 惹他发怒,

4:26 I call to witness against you today the heaven and the earth, that you will perish soon and completely from the land that you are crossing the Jordan into it to take possession of it; you will not live long on it, but you will be completely destroyed.
我今日就呼天唤地向你们作证, 你们必在过约旦河取得为业的地上迅速灭亡; 你们必不能在那地长久生存, 必全被消灭.

4:27 And Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations to where Yahweh will lead you.
耶和华必使你们分散在万民中; 在耶和华要领你们所到的万国中, 你们剩下的人数必不多.

4:28 And you will there serve gods made by human hands, of wood and stone, gods that cannot see and cannot hear and cannot eat and cannot smell.
在那里你们必事奉人手所做的神, 就是用木头石头做成的, 不能看,不能听,不能吃,不能闻的神.

4:29 But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God and will find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
但你们在那里必寻求耶和华你的神; 如果你一心一意寻找他, 就必寻见.

4:30 In your distress when all these things have found you in the latter days, then you will return to Yahweh your God, and you will listen to his voice.
日后, 你落在患难中, 这些事都临到你身上的时候, 你必归向耶和华你的神, 听从他的话;

4:31 For Yahweh your God is a compassionate God; he will not abandon you, and he will not destroy you, and he will not forget the covenant of your ancestors that he swore to them.
因为耶和华你的神原是满有怜悯的神, 他必不丢弃你, 不毁灭你, 也不忘记他起誓与你的列祖所立的约.

4:32 “Yes, ask, please, about former days that preceded you from the day that God created humankind on the earth; ask even from one end of the heaven up to the other end of heaven whether anything ever happened like this great thing or whether anything like it was ever heard.
“你问问在你以前过去的日子, 自从神创造人在地上以来, 从天这边到天那边, 有没有人行过这样的大事, 听过像这样的事呢?

4:33 Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, just as you heard it, and lived?
有没有一个民族听见神在火中说话的声音, 像你听见的一样, 还能活着呢?

4:34 Or has a god ever attempted to go to take for himself a nation from the midst of a nation, using trials and signs and wonders and war, with an outstretched arm and with great and awesome deeds, like all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
有没有一位神尝试借着试验,神迹,奇事,战争,大能的手和伸出来的膀臂, 以及大而可畏的事, 把一国的人民从别的国中领出来, 像耶和华你们的神在埃及, 在你们面前为你们所作的一切事呢?

4:35 You yourselves were shown this wonder in order for you to acknowledge that Yahweh is the God; there is no other God besides him.
这是要显明给你看, 使你知道, 只有耶和华是神; 除了他以外, 再没有别的神.

4:36 From heaven he made you hear his voice to teach you, and on the earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from the midst of the fire.
他从天上使你听见他的声音, 为要教导你; 又在地上使你看见他的大火, 并且叫你听到他从火中所说的话.

4:37 And because he loved your ancestors he chose their descendants after them. And he brought you forth from Egypt with his own presence, by his great strength,
因为他爱你的列祖, 所以才拣选了他们的后裔, 用大能亲自把你从埃及领出来,

4:38 to drive out nations greater and more numerous than you from before you, to bring you and to give to you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day.
为要把比你大比你强的民族, 从你面前赶走, 然后领你进去, 把他们的地赐给你作产业, 像今日一样.

4:39 So you shall acknowledge today, and you must call to mind that Yahweh is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no other God.
所以今天你要知道, 也要记在心里; 天上地下, 只有耶和华是神; 除他以外, 再没有别的神了.

4:40 And you shall keep his rules and his commandments that I am commanding you today, so that it may go well for you and for your children after you, and so that you may remain a long time on the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you during all of those days.”
你要遵守我今日吩咐你的律例和诫命, 使你和你的子孙得享福乐, 也使你在耶和华你的神赐给你的那地上得享长寿. ”

4:41 Then Moses set apart three cities on the other side of the Jordan, toward the east,
那时, 摩西在约旦河东, 日出的方向, 把三座城分别出来,

4:42 in order for a manslayer to flee there who has killed his neighbor without intent and was not hating him previously, and so he could flee to one of these cities and be safe.
让那些素无仇恨,无心误杀人的, 可以逃到那里去; 逃到这三座城的一座去的, 都可以活着:

4:43 He set apart Bezer in the wilderness in the land of the plateau of the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan of the Manassites.
为流本人, 分出了在旷野平原的比悉; 为迦得人, 分出了基列的拉末; 为玛拿西人, 分出了巴珊的哥兰.

4:44 Now this is the law that Moses set before the Israelites;
以下是摩西在以色列人面前所立的律法,

4:45 these are the legal provisions and the rules and the regulations that Moses spoke to the Israelites when they left Egypt,
就是摩西在以色列人出埃及以后, 对他们所说的法度,律例和典章;

4:46 beyond the Jordan in the valley opposite Beth Peor in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who was reigning in Heshbon and whom Moses and the Israelites defeated when they came out of Egypt.
地点是在约旦河东, 伯．毗珥对面的谷中, 就是住在希实本的亚摩利人的王西宏的地. 这西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及后击杀的.

4:47 And so they took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, eastward,
他们占领了他的地和巴珊王噩的地, 就是两个亚摩利人的王, 是住在约旦河东, 日出的方向的;

4:48 from Aroer, which is on the bank of the wadi of Arnon and as far as Mount Sirion; that is, Hermon,
从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥, 直到西云山, 西云山就是黑门山;

4:49 and all of the Arabah beyond the Jordan, eastward, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah under the slopes of Pisgah.
还有约旦河东的亚拉巴全地, 直到亚拉巴海, 就是毗斯迦的山坡下.

Deuteronomy - Chapter 5

5:1 And then Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the rules and the regulations that I am speaking in your ears today, and you shall learn them, and you must observe them diligently.
摩西把以色列人都召了来, 对他们说: “以色列人哪, 我今日讲给你们听的律例和典章, 你们要听从, 要学习, 要谨慎遵行.

5:2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
耶和华我们的神在何烈山与我们立了约.

5:3 It was not with our ancestors that Yahweh made this covenant, but with these of us who are here alive today.
这约, 耶和华不是与我们的列祖立的, 而是与我们今日在这里还活着的人立的.

5:4 Face to face Yahweh spoke with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire.
耶和华在山上, 从火中, 面对面的与你们说话.

5:5 I was standing between Yahweh and you at that time to report to you the word of Yahweh, for you were afraid because of the presence of the fire, and so you did not go up the mountain. He said,
那时, 我站在耶和华和你们中间, 要把耶和华的话告诉你们; 你们因为惧怕那火, 所以没有上到山上来, 耶和华说:

5:6 ‘I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
“‘我是耶和华你的神, 曾经把你从埃及地, 从为奴之家领出来.

5:7 There shall not be for you other gods besides me.
“‘除我以外, 你不可有别的神.

5:8 ‘You shall not make for yourself a divine image of any type of form that is in the heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.
“‘你不可为自己做偶像, 也不可做天上,地下和地底下水中各物的形象.

5:9 ‘You shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, punishing the guilt of fathers upon their children and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those hating me,
不可跪拜它们, 也不可事奉它们, 因为我耶和华你们的神是忌邪的神; 恨恶我的, 我必追讨他们的罪, 从父亲到儿子, 直到三四代.

5:10 but showing loyal love to thousands of those who love me and of those who keep my commandments.
爱我和遵守我诫命的, 我必向他们施慈爱, 直到千代.

5:11 ‘You shall not take up the name of Yahweh your God for a worthless purpose, for Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who uses his name for a worthless purpose.
“‘不可妄称耶和华你神的名, 因为妄称耶和华的名的, 耶和华必不以他为无罪.

5:12 ‘Observe the Sabbath day to make it holy, just as Yahweh your God has commanded you.
“‘要遵守安息日为圣日, 照着耶和华你神吩咐你的.

5:13 Six days you shall work, and you shall do all of your work,
六日要劳碌, 作你一切工作.

5:14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto Yahweh your God; you shall not do any work, or your son, or your daughter, or your slave, or your slave woman, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your domestic animals, or your resident alien who is in your towns, so that your slave and your slave woman may rest as you rest.
但第七日是属于耶和华你神的安息日; 这一日, 你和你的儿女,仆婢,牛驴和一切牲畜, 以及你城里的寄居者, 不可作任何的工, 好使你的仆婢可以和你一样享受安息.

5:15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore, Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath.
你要记住: 你在埃及地作过奴仆; 耶和华你的神用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂, 把你从那里领出来, 因此耶和华你的神吩咐你要守安息日.

5:16 ‘Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, so that it will be good for you in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you.
“‘要孝敬父母, 照着耶和华你的神吩咐你的, 使你可以得享长寿, 也使你在耶和华你的神赐给你的地上, 得享福乐.

“‘不可贪爱你邻舍的妻子; 不可贪图你邻舍的房屋,田地,仆婢,牛驴和你邻舍的任何东西. ’

5:22 “These words Yahweh spoke to your whole assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire and the very thick cloud with a loud voice, and he did not add anything, and then he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
“这些话就是耶和华在山上, 从火中,密云中,幽暗里, 大声对你们全体会众所说的, 并没有加添什么; 他把这些话写在两块石版上, 交给了我.

5:23 And then when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and as the mountain was burning with fire, and and all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,
那时山上被火烧着, 你们听见有声音从黑暗中发出来的时候, 你们各支派的首领和你们的长老, 都走到我这里来,

5:24 you said, ‘Look, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God can speak with a human being, yet he remains alive.
说: ‘看哪, 耶和华我们的神把他的荣耀和伟大显给我们看, 我们又听见他从火中发出来的声音; 今日我们看见了神与人说话, 而人还能活着.

5:25 And so then why shall we die, for this great fire will consume us if we continue to hear the voice of Yahweh our God any longer, and so we shall die?
现在这大火快要吞灭我们了, 我们为什么要冒死呢? 如果我们再听见耶和华我们神的声音, 我们就必死亡.

5:26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire as we have heard it and remained alive?
因为有血肉生命的人, 有谁像我们一样, 听见永活的神从火中说话的声音, 还能活着呢?

5:27 You go near and hear everything that Yahweh our God will say; and then you tell us all that Yahweh our God tells you, and we will listen, and we will do it.’
现在求你走前去, 听听耶和华我们的神要说的一切话; 然后你要把耶和华我们的神对你所说的一切话, 都告诉我们; 我们就必听从, 也必遵行. ’

5:28 “And Yahweh heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, and Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people that they have spoken to you; they are right with respect to all that they have spoken.
“你们对我说话的时候, 耶和华听见了你们说话的声音; 耶和华就对我说: ‘这人民对你所说的话, 我都听见了; 他们所说的都很好.

5:29 If only they had such a mind’; that is, to fear me and to keep all my commandments at all times, so that it will go well for them and for their children forever.
但愿他们常常存着这样的心, 敬畏我, 遵守我的一切诫命, 使他们和他们的子孙永享福乐.

5:30 Go! Say to them, “Return to your tents.”
你去对他们说: “你们回到自己的帐棚里去吧. ”

5:31 But you stand here with me, and let me tell you all of the commandments and the rules and the regulations that you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land that I am giving to them to take possession of it.’
至于你, 你要站在我这里; 我要把一切诫命,律例,典章, 都告诉你; 你要教导他们, 使他们在我赐给他们作产业的地上遵行. ’

5:32 “So you must be careful to do just as Yahweh your God commanded you; you shall not turn to the right or to the left.
所以, 你们要照着耶和华你们的神吩咐你们的, 谨守遵行, 不可偏离左右.

5:33 In exactly the path that Yahweh your God has commanded, you must go, so that you may live and it will go well for you and you may live long in the land that you will take possession of.”
你们要走在耶和华你们的神吩咐你们走的路上, 使你们可以活着, 可以享福, 并且使你在将要占领为业的地上, 可以长久居住. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 6

6:1 “Now this is the commandment, the rules and the regulations, that Yahweh your God charged to teach to you for you to observe in the land that you are about to cross over into to take possession of it,
“以下是耶和华你们的神吩咐我教导你们的诫命,律例,典章, 使你们在将要过去占领为业的地上遵行,

6:2 so that you may revere Yahweh your God by keeping all his statutes and his commandments that I am commanding you, you and your children and grandchildren, all the days of your life and so you may live long lives.
好叫你和你的子子孙孙一生一世敬畏耶和华你的神, 遵守他的一切律例,诫命, 就是我吩咐你的, 使你的日子可以长久.

6:3 And you shall hear, Israel, and be careful to observe these instructions, so that it may go well for you and that you may multiply greatly, just as Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, promised you, in a land with milk and honey.

6:7 And you shall recite them to your children, and you shall talk about them at the time of your living in your house and at the time of your going on the road and at the time of your lying down and at the time of your rising up.
你要把这些话不断地教训你的儿女, 无论你坐在家里, 或行在路上, 或躺下, 或起来的时候, 都要谈论.

6:8 And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as an emblem between your eyes.
你也要把这些话系在手上作记号, 戴在额上作头带.

6:9 And you shall write them on the doorframe of your house and on your gates.
又要写在你房屋的门柱上和城门上.

6:10 “And then it will happen that when Yahweh your God will bring you to the land that he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you large and fine cities that you did not build,
“耶和华你的神领你进入他向你列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许给你的地; 那里有不是你建造的, 又高大又美丽的城市,

6:11 and houses full of all sorts of good things that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant, and you have eaten your fill,
有装满各样美物的房子, 不是你装满的; 有凿成的水池, 不是你凿成的; 还有葡萄园和橄榄园, 不是你栽种的; 你可以吃, 并且吃得饱足.

6:12 then take care for yourself, so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out from the land of Egypt from the house of slavery.

我们在耶和华我们的神面前, 如果照着他吩咐我们的, 谨守遵行这一切诫命, 这就是我们的义了. ’”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 7

7:1 “When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter into it to take possession of it, and he drives out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations mightier and more numerous than you,
“耶和华你的神领你进入你要去得为业的地, 从你面前赶走许多民族, 就是赫人,革迦撒人,亚摩利人,迦南人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人, 共七个比你又大又强的民族.

7:2 and Yahweh your God will give them over to you and you defeat them, you must utterly destroy them; you shall not make a covenant with them, and you shall not show mercy to them.
耶和华你的神把他们交给你, 你打败了他们的时候, 你要完全毁灭他们, 不可与他们立约, 也不可恩待他们.

7:3 And you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughter to their son; and you shall not take his daughter for your son.
不可与他们通婚, 不可把你的女儿嫁给他们的儿子, 也不可为你的儿子娶他们的女儿.

7:4 For their sons and daughters will cause your son to turn away from following me, and so they will serve other gods, and the anger of Yahweh would be kindled against you, and he would quickly destroy you.
因为他必使你的儿子离开我, 去事奉别的神, 以致耶和华向你们发烈怒, 就快快地把你们消灭.

7:5 But this is what you must do to them: you shall break down their altars, and their stone pillars you shall smash, and their Asherah poles you shall hew down, and you shall burn their idols with fire.
你们却要这样待他们: 拆毁他们的祭坛, 打碎他们的神柱, 砍下他们的亚舍拉, 用火焚烧他们的雕像.

7:6 For you are a holy people for Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be for him a people, a treasured possession from among all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.
“因为你是归耶和华你的神作圣洁的子民的; 耶和华你的神从地上的万族中, 拣选了你作他自己的产业, 自己的子民.

7:7 “Yahweh loved you and chose you not because of your great number exceeding all other peoples, for you are fewer than all of the peoples,
耶和华喜爱你们, 拣选你们, 并不是因为你们的人数比别的民族多, 其实你们的人数在万族中是最少的;

7:8 but because of the love of Yahweh for you and because of his keeping of the sworn oath that he swore to your ancestors, Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
而是因为耶和华对你们的爱, 又因为他遵守他向你们的列祖所起的誓, 他才用大能的手把你们领出来, 把你们从为奴之家, 从埃及王法老的手里拯救出来.

7:9 So know that Yahweh your God, he is God, the trustworthy God, maintaining his covenant and his loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
所以你要知道耶和华你的神, 他是神, 是信实可靠的神; 他向爱他和守他诫命的人, 守约并且施慈爱, 直到千代.

7:10 but repaying those who hate him in their own person to destroy them; he is not slow with those who hate him in their own person; he repays them.
但向恨他的人, 却要当面报应他们, 把他们灭尽; 恨他的, 他都要当面报应他, 决不迟延.

7:11 And so you shall keep the commandment and the rules and the regulations that I am commanding you today to observe them.
所以你要谨守遵行我今日吩咐你的诫命,律例和典章.

7:12 “And then because you listen to these regulations and you diligently keep and you do them, then Yahweh your God will maintain his covenant and his loyal love that he swore to your ancestors.
“如果你们听从这些典章, 并且谨守遵行这一切, 耶和华你的神就必照着他向你的列祖所起的誓, 向你守约并且施慈爱.

7:13 And he will love you, and he will bless you, and he will multiply you, and he will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your soil, your grain, your wine, and your olive oil, and newborn calves of your cattle, and the newborn lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you.
他必爱你, 赐福与你, 使你人数增多, 也必在他向你的列祖起誓应许给你的地上, 赐福与你身所生的, 你地所产的, 使你的五谷,酒,油, 以及牛犊和羊羔增产.

7:14 You shall be blessed more than all of the peoples; among you there shall not be sterility and bareness, even among domestic animals.
你必蒙福胜过万民; 在你中间没有不能生育的男女, 也没有不能生殖的牲畜.

7:15 And Yahweh will turn away from you all the illness and all the harmful diseases of Egypt that you experienced; he will not lay them on you, but he will lay them on all of those who hate you.
耶和华必使一切病症离开你; 你所知埃及各种的恶疾, 他决不加在你身上, 却加在一切恨你的人身上.

7:16 And you shall devour all of the peoples that Yahweh your God is giving to you; you shall not pity them, and you shall not serve their gods, which will be a snare for you.
耶和华你的神交给你的所有民族, 你都要把他们消灭; 你的眼不可怜惜他们; 你也不可事奉他们的神, 因为这必成为你的网罗.

7:17 “If you think in your heart, ‘These nations are more numerous than I, so how can I dispossess them?’
“如果你心里说: ‘这些国的人比我多, 我怎能把他们赶出去呢? ’

7:18 then remember you must not be afraid of them; you must well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt:
你不要怕他们, 只要牢牢地记住, 耶和华你的神向法老和全埃及所行的事,

7:19 the great trials that your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the workings of the strong hand and the outstretched arm by which Yahweh your God brought you out; so Yahweh your God will do to all of the peoples because of whom you are in fear before them.
就是你亲眼看见的大试验,神迹,奇事,大能的手和伸出来的膀臂, 这都是耶和华你的神领你出来的时候使用的; 耶和华你的神也必照样待你惧怕的所有民族.

7:20 And, moreover, Yahweh your God will send the hornets among them until both the survivors and the fugitives are destroyed before you.
耶和华你的神还要打发大黄蜂飞到他们中间, 直到那些残存躲藏起来的人, 都从你面前消灭为止.

7:21 You must not be in dread from the presence of them, because Yahweh your God, who is in your midst, is a great and awesome God.
你不要因他们惊慌, 因为耶和华你的神是在你们中间, 他是大而可畏的神.

7:22 And Yahweh your God will clear away these nations from before you little by little; you will not be able to finish them off quickly, lest the wild animals multiply against you.
耶和华你的神必把这些国的民, 从你面前渐渐赶出去; 你不可以把他们迅速地灭尽, 恐怕田间的野兽多起来害你.

7:23 But Yahweh your God will give them to you, and he will throw them into great panic until they are destroyed.
耶和华你的神必把他们交在你面前, 使他们大起扰乱, 直到他们全被消灭.

7:24 And he will give their kings into your hand, and you shall blot out their names from under the heaven; anyone will not be able to stand against you until you destroy them.
他也必把他们的君王交在你的手中, 你必使他们的名从天下消灭; 必没有一人能在你面前站立得住, 直到你把他们都消灭了.

7:25 You shall burn the images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, and so you take it for yourself, so that you are not ensnared by it, for it is a detestable thing to Yahweh your God.
他们的神像, 你们要用火焚烧; 神像上的金银, 你不可贪爱, 也不可据为己有, 免得你因此陷入网罗; 因为这是耶和华你的神厌恶的.

7:26 And you must not bring a detestable thing into your house, or you will become a thing devoted to destruction like it; you must utterly detest it, and you must utterly abhor it, for it is an object devoted to destruction.
可厌恶的物, 你不可带进家里去, 免得你与那物一样成了当毁灭的; 你要非常憎恨它, 十分厌恶它, 因为这是当毁灭的物. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 8

8:1 “All of the commandments that I am commanding you today you must diligently observe, so that you may live and multiply, and you may go and take possession of the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors.
“我今日吩咐你的一切诫命, 你们要谨守遵行, 使你们可以存活, 人数增加, 并且可以进去得着耶和华向你们的列祖起誓应许的那地.

8:2 And you shall remember all of the way that Yahweh your God led you during these forty years in the desert in order to humble you and to test you to know what is in your heart, whether you would diligently keep his commandments or not.
你也要记念耶和华你的神这四十年在旷野引导你的一切路程, 为要使你受苦, 要试炼你, 要知道你心里怎样, 看看你肯守他的诫命不肯.

8:3 And he humbled you and let you go hungry, and then he fed you with that which you did not know nor did your ancestors know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone but by all that goes out of the mouth of Yahweh humankind shall live.
他使你受苦, 任你饥饿, 把你和你的列祖不认识的吗哪赐给你吃, 使你知道人活着, 不是单靠食物, 更要靠耶和华口里所出的一切话.

8:4 Your clothing did not wear out on you, and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
这四十年来, 你身上的衣服没有穿破, 你的脚也没有肿起来.

8:5 And you should know with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God is disciplining you.
因此你心里要明白, 耶和华你的神管教你, 好像人管教他的儿子一样.

8:6 So you must keep the commandments of Yahweh your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
所以你要谨守耶和华你的神的诫命, 遵行他的道路, 敬畏他.

8:7 For Yahweh your God is bringing you to a good land with streams of water, springs and underground water, welling up in the valleys and in the hills,
因为耶和华你的神快要领你进入那美地; 那地有河流, 有泉, 有源, 水从谷中和山上流出来;

8:8 to a land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranate trees, a land of olive trees, olive oil and honey;
那地有小麦,大麦,葡萄树,无花果树,石榴树; 那地有橄榄树,油和蜜;

8:9 to a land where you may eat food in it without scarcity; you will not find anything lacking in it, a land where its stones are iron and from its mountains you can mine copper.
你在那地必不缺乏食物, 在那里你必一无所缺; 那地的石头就是铁; 从那里的山上, 你可以挖出铜来.

8:10 And you will eat, and you will be satisfied, and you will bless Yahweh your God because of the good land that he has given to you.
你吃饱了, 就要称颂耶和华你的神, 因为他把那美地赐了给你.

8:11 “Take care for yourself so that you not forget Yahweh your God by not keeping his commandments and his regulations and his statutes that I am commanding you today,
“你要自己谨慎, 免得忘记耶和华你的神, 不守他的诫命,典章,律例, 就是我今日吩咐你的;

8:12 lest when you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live in them,
恐怕你吃饱了, 建造美好的房屋居住,

8:13 and your herds and your flocks have multiplied, and you have accumulated silver and gold, and all that you have has multiplied,
你的牛羊加多, 你的金银增添, 你所有的一切都增加了,

8:14 then your heart becomes proud and you forget Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery,
那时, 你就心高气傲, 忘记了耶和华你的神, 就是把你从埃及地, 从为奴之家领出来的那一位.

8:15 the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with dangerous snakes and scorpions and parched ground, where there is no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock,
他引导你走过那大而可畏的旷野, 那里有火蛇, 有蝎子, 有干旱无水之地; 他曾经为你使水从坚硬的磐石中流出来.

8:16 the one feeding you manna in the desert, food that your ancestors did not know, in order to humble you and in order to test you so that he could do good to you in the future.
他在旷野把你的列祖不认识的吗哪赐给你吃, 是要使你受苦, 要试炼你, 使你终久得到福乐;

8:17 And you may think in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for me.’
恐怕你心里说: ‘这财富是我的力量, 是我手的能力使我得着的. ’

8:18 But you must remember Yahweh your God, for he is the one giving you strength to acquire wealth in order to confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors as it is today.
你要记念耶和华你的神, 因为得财富的能力是他赐给你的, 为要坚定他向你的列祖起誓所立的约, 像今天一样.

8:19 And it will happen that if you indeed forget Yahweh your God and you go after other gods and you serve them and you bow down before them, I warn you today that you will surely perish.
如果将来你真的忘记了耶和华你的神, 去随从别的神, 事奉和敬拜他们, 你们必定灭亡, 这是我今日警告你们的.

8:20 As with the nations that Yahweh is destroying before you, so you shall perish because you would not obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
耶和华从你们面前怎样使万国的民灭亡, 你们也必照样灭亡, 因为你们没有听从耶和华你们神的话. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 9

9:1 “Hear, Israel, you are about to cross the Jordan today to go to dispossess nations larger and more numerous than you, great cities fortified with high walls,
“以色列啊, 你要听, 你今日快要过约旦河, 进去赶出比你又大又强的列国, 占领坚固,高得顶天的城市.

9:2 a great and tall people, the sons of the Anakites, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who could stand before the sons of Anak?’
那地的民族又高又大, 就是亚衲族的人, 是你知道的, 你也听过有人指着他们说: ‘谁能在亚衲族人面前站立得住呢? ’

9:3 You should know today that Yahweh your God is the one crossing ahead of you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will subdue them before you; so you will dispossess them, and you will destroy them quickly, just as Yahweh promised you.
所以今日你要知道, 耶和华你的神要像烈火一样在你面前过去; 他要消灭他们, 他要在你面前把他们征服; 这样你就可以照着耶和华吩咐你的, 把他们赶走, 使他们迅速灭亡.

9:4 “You shall not say to yourself when Yahweh your God is driving them out before you, saying, ‘Because of my righteousness Yahweh brought me to take possession of this land’; but because of the wickedness of these nations Yahweh is driving them out before you.
耶和华你的神把这些国的民从你面前驱逐出去以后, 你心里不要说: ‘耶和华把我领进来取得这地, 是因着我的义. ’其实耶和华从你面前把这些国的民赶出去, 是因着他们的恶.

9:5 It is not because of your righteousness and because of the uprightness of your heart that you are coming to take possession of their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God is driving them before you, and in order to confirm the promise that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
你进去取得他们的地, 并不是因着你的义, 也不是因着你心里的正直, 而是因着这些国的民的恶, 耶和华你的神才把他们从你面前赶出去, 为要实践他向你的列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各, 起誓应许的话.

9:6 “So you should understand that it is not because of your righteousness that Yahweh your God is giving you this good land to take possession of it, because you are a stubborn people.
你要知道, 耶和华你的神把这美地赐给你作产业, 并不是因着你的义; 你本来是顽固的民族.

9:7 Remember, do not forget, that you provoked Yahweh your God in the desert, and from the day that you went out from the land of Egypt until you came to this place you were rebelling against Yahweh.
“你要记住, 不可忘记, 你在旷野怎样惹耶和华你的神发怒; 自从你出了埃及地的那天起, 直到你们来到这地方, 你们常是反抗耶和华的.

9:8 “And remember at Horeb you provoked Yahweh, and Yahweh became angry enough to destroy you.
你们在何烈山又惹耶和华发怒, 以致耶和华向你们发怒, 要灭绝你们.

9:9 When I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that Yahweh made with you, and remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights, I did not eat food and I did not drink water.
那时, 我上了山, 要领受石版, 就是耶和华与你们立约的石版; 那时我在山上住了四十昼夜, 不吃不喝.

9:10 And Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them was writing according to all the words that Yahweh spoke with you at the mountain, from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
耶和华把那两块石版交给了我, 是神用手指写的; 石版上所写的, 是耶和华在大会之日, 在山上从火中对你们所说的一切话.

9:11 And then at the end of forty days and forty nights, Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
过了四十昼夜, 耶和华把那两块石版, 就是约版, 交给了我.

9:12 And Yahweh said to me, ‘Come now, go down quickly from this mountain because your people behave corruptly whom you brought out from Egypt, for they turned quickly from the way that I commanded them to follow; they have made for themselves a cast image.’
耶和华对我说: ‘你起来, 从这里赶快下去, 因为你从埃及领出来的人已经败坏了, 他们很快就偏离了我吩咐他们走的道路, 为自己铸造了偶像. ’

9:13 And Yahweh spoke to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and look! They are a stubborn people.
“耶和华又对我说: ‘你看这民族真是一个顽固的民族.

9:14 Leave me alone, and let me destroy them, and let me blot out their name from under heaven, and let me make you into a nation mightier and more numerous than they!’
你不要管我, 我要消灭他们, 把他们的名字从天下除去; 我要使你成为一个比他们更强更大的国. ’

9:15 “And I turned, and I went down the mountain, as the mountain was burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
于是我转身, 从山上下来, 山上有火烧着; 我手中拿着两块约版.

9:16 And I looked, and indeed you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made for yourselves an image of a calf of cast metal; you had turned quickly from the way that Yahweh had commanded for you.
我观看, 见你们自己铸造了牛犊, 很快就离开了耶和华吩咐你们走的道路.

9:17 And I took hold of the two tablets, and I threw them out of my two hands and smashed them before your eyes.
我拿着那两块石版, 从我两手中扔下去, 在你们眼前摔碎了.

9:18 And then I lay prostrate before Yahweh, as earlier, forty days and forty nights; I did not eat food and I did not drink water because of all your sins that you committed, by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh and so provoking him.
为了你们所犯的一切罪, 作了耶和华看为恶的事, 惹他发怒, 我就像先前那样, 俯伏在耶和华面前, 四十昼夜, 不吃不喝.

9:19 For I was in dread from being in the presence of the anger and the wrath with which Yahweh was angry with you so as to destroy you, but Yahweh listened to me also at that time.
因为耶和华向你们大发烈怒, 要消灭你们, 我就很惧怕; 但是那一次耶和华也听了我的恳求.

9:20 And with Aaron Yahweh was angry enough to destroy him, and I prayed also for Aaron at that time.
耶和华也向亚伦发怒, 要消灭他; 那时候我也为亚伦祈祷.

9:21 And your sinful thing that you had made, the molten calf, I took and I burned it with fire, and I crushed it, grinding it thoroughly until it was crushed to dust, and I threw its dust into the stream that flowed down the mountain.
我把你们的罪, 就是你们铸造的牛犊, 拿去用火烧了, 又把它捣碎, 磨成细粉, 像灰尘一样; 我把这灰尘撒在从山上流下来的溪水中.

9:22 “And also at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to anger.
“后来你们在他备拉,玛撒,基博罗．哈他瓦, 又惹耶和华发怒.

9:23 And when Yahweh sent you out from Kadesh Barnea, saying, ‘Go up and take possession of the land that I have given you,’ you rebelled against the command of Yahweh your God, and you did not believe him, and you did not listen to his voice.
耶和华打发你们离开加低斯．巴尼亚, 说: ‘你们上去得我赐给你们作产业的地. ’那时你们竟违背耶和华你们的神的命令, 不相信他, 不听从他的话.

9:24 You have been rebellious toward Yahweh from the day I have known you.
自从我认识了你们那一天起, 你们就常常悖逆耶和华.

9:25 “And I lay prostrate before Yahweh through forty days, and through forty nights I prostrated myself, because Yahweh intended to kill you.
“因为耶和华说要消灭你们, 我就俯伏在耶和华面前, 共俯伏了四十昼夜.

9:26 And I prayed to Yahweh, and I said, ‘Lord Yahweh, you must not destroy your people and your inheritance whom you redeemed in your greatness, whom you brought out from Egypt with a strong hand.
我祈求耶和华, 说: ‘主耶和华啊, 求你不要毁灭你的子民, 你的产业, 就是你借着你的大能救赎, 借着你有力的手从埃及领出来的.

9:27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; you must not pay attention to the stubbornness of this people, to their wickedness and to their sin,
求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各; 不要看这民族的顽固,邪恶和罪过,

9:28 lest the people of the land from which you brought us out from there say, “Because Yahweh was not able to bring them to the land that he promised to them and because of his hatred toward them, he has brought them out to kill them in the desert.”
免得你领我们从那里出来的那地的人说: “耶和华因为不能把他们领进他应许的地, 又因为恨他们, 所以才把他们领出来, 要在旷野杀死他们. ”

9:29 For they are your people and your inheritance whom you brought with your great power and with your outstretched arm.’
但是, 他们是你的子民, 是你的产业, 又是你借着大能和伸出来的膀臂领出来的. ’”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 10

10:1 “At that time Yahweh said to me, ‘Carve for yourself two tablets of stone just as the former ones, and come up the mountain to me, and you shall make for yourself an ark of wood.
“那时, 耶和华对我说: ‘你要凿出两块石版, 和先前的一样, 然后上山到我这里来; 又要做一个木柜.

10:2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets, which you smashed, and you must put them in the ark.’
我要把你摔碎的先前那两块版上的话, 写在这两块版上; 你要把它们放在柜中. ’

10:3 And so I made an ark of acacia wood, and I carved two tablets of stone like the former ones, and I went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
于是我用皂荚木做了一个柜, 又凿出了两块石版, 和先前的一样; 然后我手里拿着这两块石版, 上山去了.

10:4 And he wrote upon the tablets according to the first writing, the ten words that Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly, and Yahweh gave them to me.
耶和华把先前所写的, 就是在集会的日子, 在山上从火中告诉你们的十诫, 都写在这两块版上; 耶和华把石版交给了我.

10:5 And I turned, and I came down from the mountain, and I put the tablets in the ark that I had made, and they are there, just as Yahweh commanded me.
于是我转身从山上下来, 把石版放在我所做的柜中, 照着耶和华吩咐我的, 现在石版还放在那里.

10:6 “And the Israelites journeyed from the wells of Bene-Yaqan to Moserah; there Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar, his son, served as a priest in place of him.
“以色列人从比罗比尼．亚干起程, 到了摩西拉. 亚伦在那里死了, 也埋葬在那里; 他的儿子以利亚撒接替他供祭司的职分.

10:7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land flowing with streams of water.
他们从那里起程, 到了谷歌大, 又从谷歌大到约巴他, 就是多溪水的地.

10:8 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to stand before Yahweh, to serve him and to bless the people in his name until this day.
那时, 耶和华把利未支派分别出来, 叫他们抬耶和华的约柜, 侍立在耶和华面前事奉他, 并且奉他的名祝福, 直到今日.

10:9 Therefore there was not for Levi an allotment or an inheritance along with his brothers; rather Yahweh is his inheritance just as Yahweh your God promised to him.
所以利未人在兄弟中无分无业; 照着耶和华你的神应许他的, 耶和华自己就是他的产业.

10:10 And I stayed on the mountain just as during the former forty days and forty nights, and Yahweh listened to me also on that occasion; Yahweh was not willing to destroy you.
“我又像以前那样, 在山上停留了四十昼夜; 那一次耶和华也听了我的呼求, 他不愿把你毁灭.

10:11 And Yahweh said to me, ‘Come, continue your journey before the people, so that you may go and take possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give to them.’
耶和华对我说: ‘你起来, 走在人民的前面, 使他们可以进去, 得着我向他们列祖起誓赐给他们的那地. ’

10:12 And now, Israel, what is Yahweh your God asking from you, except to revere Yahweh your God, to go in all his ways and to love him and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
“以色列啊, 现在耶和华你的神向你要的是什么呢? 只要你敬畏耶和华你的神, 行在他的一切道路上, 爱他, 一心一意事奉耶和华你的神,

10:13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes that I am commanding you today for your own good.
遵守耶和华的诫命和律例, 就是我今日吩咐你的, 为要叫你得福.

10:14 Look! For to Yahweh your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.
看哪, 天和天上的天, 地和地上的一切都是属于耶和华你的神的.

10:15 Yet to your ancestors Yahweh was very attached, so as to love them, and so he chose their offspring after them, namely you, from all the peoples, as it is today.
但耶和华只喜悦你的列祖, 爱他们; 他从万民中拣选了他们的后裔, 就是你们, 像今日一样.

10:16 So you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and do not be stubborn.
所以你们要给你们的心行割礼, 不可再顽固.

10:17 For Yahweh your God, he is God of the gods and Lord of the lords, the great and mighty God, the awesome one who is not partial, and he does not take bribes.
因为耶和华你们的神, 他是万神之神,万主之主,伟大有力和可畏的神; 他不徇情面, 也不受贿赂.

10:18 And he executes justice for the orphan and widow, and he is one who loves the alien, to give to them food and clothing.
他为孤儿寡妇伸张正义, 又把衣食给寄居的人.

10:19 And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
所以你们要爱寄居的人, 因为你们在埃及地也作过寄居的人.

10:20 Yahweh your God, you shall revere him, you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear.
你要敬畏耶和华你的神, 事奉他, 依靠他, 奉他的名起誓.

10:21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done with you these great and awesome things that your eyes have seen.
他是你当颂赞的; 他是你的神, 他为你作了那些大而可畏的事, 就是你亲眼见过的.

10:22 With only seventy persons your ancestors went down to Egypt, but now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the heaven with respect to multitude.
你的列祖下到埃及的时候, 一共不过七十人, 现在耶和华你的神却使你的人数像天上的星那么多了. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 11

11:1 “And you shall love Yahweh your God, and you shall keep his obligations and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments always.
“所以你要爱耶和华你的神, 常常遵守他的吩咐,律例,典章和诫命.

11:2 And you shall realize today that it is not with your children who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of Yahweh your God—his greatness, his strong hand, and his outstretched arm,
今日你们要知道, 我并不是与你们的儿女说话, 因为他们不知道, 也没有见过耶和华你们的神的管教,伟大有力的手和伸出来的膀臂,

11:3 and his signs and his deeds that he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to all of his land,
以及他在埃及向埃及王法老和法老的全国所行的神迹和作为;

11:4 and what he did to the army of Egypt and to their horses and to their chariots, and how he made the water of the Red Sea flow over them, when they pursued after them, and so Yahweh has destroyed them, as is the case today,
他们也没有见过他怎样对待埃及的军队,马匹和车辆; 他们追赶你们的时候, 耶和华怎样使红海的水淹没了他们, 把他们灭绝, 这事一直传到今日;

11:5 and what he did to you in the desert until you came up to this place,
并且耶和华在旷野怎样待你们, 直到你们来到了这个地方;

11:6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth wide and swallowed them, their households and their tents, and all of the living creatures that were in their possession and that were following along with them in the midst of all of Israel.
也没有见过他怎样对待流本的子孙以利押的儿子大坍,亚比兰; 大地怎样在全体以色列人中间裂开了, 把他们和他们的家人,帐棚, 以及与他们在一起一切有生命之物都吞下去;

11:7 The fact of the matter is, your own eyes have seen all of the great deeds of Yahweh that he did.
只有你们亲眼看见了耶和华所作的一切伟大的作为.

11:8 “And you must keep all of the commandments that I am commanding you today, so that you may have strength and you may go and you may take possession of that land to which you are crossing to take possession of it,
“所以你们要遵守我今日吩咐你的一切诫命, 使你们坚强起来, 可以进去得着你们将要过去得的那地,

11:9 so that you may live long on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to give it to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.
又使你们在耶和华向你们的列祖起誓应许赐给他们和他们后裔的地上, 就是流奶与蜜的地, 可以长久居住.

11:10 For the fact is that the land that you are about to go into to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come out of, where you sow your seed and you give water by your foot, as in a vegetable garden.
因为你要进去得的那地, 并不像你出来的埃及地; 在那里你撒了种, 还要用脚灌溉, 像菜园一样.

11:11 But the land that you are about to cross into to take possession of it is a land of hills and valleys, and by the rain of the heaven it drinks water,
但你们要过去得为业的地, 却是一个有山有谷的地, 有天上雨水滋润的地,

11:12 a land that Yahweh your God is caring for it; continually the eyes of Yahweh your God are on it, from the beginning of the year up to the end of the year.
就是耶和华你的神眷顾的地; 从岁首到年终, 耶和华你的神的眼目常常眷顾这地.

11:13 “And it will happen that if you listen carefully to my commandments that I am commanding you today, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all of your heart and with all of your soul,
“如果你们留心听我今日吩咐你们的诫命, 爱耶和华你们的神, 一心一意事奉他,

11:14 then ‘I will send the rain for your land in its season, early rain and later rain, and you will gather your grain and your wine and your olive oil.
他必按时降雨在你们的地上, 就是降秋雨和春雨, 使你们可以丰收五谷,新酒和新油.

11:15 And I will give vegetation in your field for your livestock, and you will eat your fill.’
他也必使田野为你的牲畜长出青草来, 你也可以吃得饱足.

11:16 Take care so that your heart is not easily deceived, and you turn away, and you serve other gods, and you bow down to them.
你们要谨慎, 免得你们的心受迷惑, 你们就偏离了我, 去事奉别的神, 并且敬拜它们;

11:17 And then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, and there shall not be rain, and so the ground will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land that Yahweh is giving to you.
叫耶和华的怒气向你发作, 就把天封闭, 不降下雨水, 地也不生出土产, 使你们从耶和华赐给你们的美地上, 快快地灭亡.

11:18 “And you shall put these, my words, on your heart and on your inner self, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be as an emblem between your eyes.
“所以你们要把我这些话放在心里, 存在意念中; 要系在手上作记号, 戴在额上作头带.

11:19 And you shall teach them to your children by talking about them when you sit in your house and when you travel on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.
你们也要把这些话教训你们的儿女, 无论你是坐在家里, 行在路上, 躺下, 或是起来, 都要讲论.

11:20 And you shall write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates,
你要把这些话写在你房屋的门柱上和城门上,

11:21 so that they may multiply your days and the days of your children on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors to give it to them as long as heaven endures over the earth.
为要叫你们和你们的子孙的日子, 在耶和华向你们列祖起誓应许给他们的地上, 可以增多, 像天覆地的年日那样多.

11:22 Yes, if you diligently keep all this commandment that I am commanding you to observe it, by loving Yahweh your God by walking in all his ways and by holding fast to him,
如果你们殷勤谨守遵行我吩咐你们的这一切诫命, 爱耶和华你们的神, 行他的一切道路, 又紧紧地依靠他,

11:23 then Yahweh will drive out all of these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and more numerous than you.
耶和华就必从你们面前把这些国民都赶出去, 你们就必占领比你们大比你们强的国民的地.

11:24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, it shall be yours; your boundary shall be from the desert and Lebanon from the river, the river Euphrates, on up to the western sea.
你们脚掌所踏的地, 都必属于你们; 从旷野到黎巴嫩, 从幼发拉底河直到西海, 都要作你们的境界.

11:25 No one can take a stand against you; your dread and your fear Yahweh your God will put on the surface of all the land where you tread, just as he promised to you.
必没有一人能在你们面前站立得住; 耶和华你们的神, 必照着他对你们所说的, 使害怕和惊惧你们的心临到你们将要踏足之地的居民.

11:26 “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:
“看哪, 我今日把祝福和咒诅都摆在你们面前.

11:27 the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today,
如果你们听从耶和华你们的神的诫命, 就是我今日吩咐你们的, 你们就必蒙赐福;

11:28 and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but rather you turn from the way that I am commanding you today to go after other gods that you have not known.
如果你们不听从耶和华你们的神的诫命, 偏离了我今日吩咐你们要走的道路, 去随从你们素来不认识的别神, 你们就必受咒诅.

11:29 “And it will happen that when Yahweh your God has brought you to the land that you are going to, to take possession of it, then you shall pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
耶和华你的神领你进入你要占领为业之地以后, 你就要把祝福摆在基利心山上, 把咒诅摆在以巴路山上.

11:30 (Are they not beyond the Jordan, toward the west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Jordan Valley, opposite Gilgal beside the terebinth of Moreh?)
这两座山不是在约旦河西,日落的地方, 在住亚拉巴的迦南人之地, 与吉甲相对, 靠近摩利橡树那里吗?

11:31 For you are now about to cross the Jordan to go to take possession of the land that Yahweh, your God, is giving to you, and you will take possession of it and live in it,
现在你们快要过约旦河, 进去得耶和华你们的神要赐给你们为业之地; 你们取得了那地, 就住在那里.

11:32 and you must diligently observe all the rules and the regulations that I am setting before you today.”
你们要谨守遵行我今日在你们的面前颁布的一切律例和典章. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 12

12:1 “These are the rules and the regulations that you must diligently observe in the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given to you to take possession of it, during all the days that you are living on the land.
“你们活在地上的一切日子, 在耶和华你列祖的神赐给你作产业的地上, 要谨守遵行的律例和典章, 就是这些:

12:2 You must completely demolish all of the places there where they served their gods, that is, the nations whom you are about to dispossess, on the high mountains, and on the hills and under each leafy green tree.
你们要把你们赶走的列国的人事奉神的地方, 无论是在高山上, 在山冈上, 或是在各青翠树下, 都要完全毁坏;

12:3 And you shall break down their altars, and you shall smash their stone pillars, and their Asherah poles you must burn with fire, and the images of their gods you shall hew down, and you shall blot out their names from that place.
也要拆毁他们的祭坛, 打碎他们的神柱; 用火焚烧他们的亚舍拉, 砍倒他们的神的雕像, 并且把他们的名字从这地方除灭.

12:4 You shall not worship Yahweh your God like this.
你们不可像他们那样事奉耶和华你的神.

12:5 But only to the place that Yahweh your God will choose from all of your tribes to place his name there as his dwelling shall you seek, and there you shall go.
耶和华你们的神从你们各支派中, 选择了什么地方作立他名的居所, 你们就当到那里求问他;

12:6 And you shall bring there your burnt offerings and your sacrifices and your tithes and your donations and your votive gifts and your freewill offerings and the firstling of your herd and your flock.
把你们的燔祭和其他的祭物,十分之一的礼物和手中的贡献,还愿祭和甘心祭, 以及牛群羊群中头生的, 都要带到那里去;

12:7 And you shall eat there before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all your endeavors, you and your family in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.
在那里, 就是在耶和华你们的神面前, 你们和你们的家人都可以吃; 并且要因你们手所作的一切事, 都蒙耶和华你的神赐福而欢乐.

12:8 “You must not do just as we are doing here today, each according to all that is right in his eyes.
我们今日在这里所行的, 是行各人看为正的事, 你们将来不可以这样行;

12:9 For you have not come up to now to the resting place and to the inheritance that Yahweh your God is giving to you.
因为你们现在还没有到耶和华你的神赐给你的安息地和产业.

12:10 But you will cross the Jordan, and you will settle in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance, and he will give rest to you from all your enemies from all around, and you will live securely,
但是你们过了约旦河, 住在耶和华你们的神使你们承受为业的地, 又使你们太平, 脱离你们周围的所有仇敌, 安居乐业,

12:11 and then at the place that Yahweh your God will choose, to let his name dwell there, there you shall bring all the things I am commanding you, your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and your donations, and all of the choice things, your votive gifts that you vow to Yahweh.
那时, 你要把我吩咐你们的燔祭和其他的祭物,十分之一的礼物和手中的贡献, 以及你们向耶和华许愿要献的最美的一切还愿祭, 都要带到耶和华你们的神选择作为立他名的地方.

12:12 And you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you and your sons and your daughters and your slaves and your slave women and the Levite who is in your towns, because there is not for him a plot of ground and an inheritance with you.
你们和你们的儿女,仆婢, 以及住在你们城里的利未人, 都要在耶和华你们的神面前欢乐, 因为利未人在你们中间无分无业.

你不可向耶和华你的神这样行, 因为耶和华恨恶的一切可厌恶的事, 他们都向他们的神行了, 甚至把自己的儿女用火焚烧, 献给他们的神.

12:32 All of the things that I am commanding you, you must diligently observe; you shall not add to it, and you shall not take away from it.”
“我吩咐你们的一切话, 你们都要谨守遵行, 不可加添, 也不可减少. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 13

13:1 “If a prophet stands up in your midst or a dreamer of dreams and he gives to you a sign or wonder,
“你们中间如果有先知, 或作梦的人兴起来, 给你显示神迹或奇事;

13:2 and the sign or the wonder comes about that he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods (those whom you have not known), and let us serve them,’
他告诉你的神迹和奇事应验了, 以致他对你说: ‘我们去随从别的,你不认识的神, 事奉他们吧. ’

13:3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer, for Yahweh your God is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all of your heart and with all of your inner self.
你不可听从那先知或作梦的人的话; 因为耶和华你们的神试验你们, 要知道你们是不是一心一意爱耶和华你们的神.

13:4 You shall go after Yahweh your God, and him you shall revere, and his commandment you shall keep, and to his voice you shall listen, and him you shall serve, and to him you shall hold fast.
你们要顺从耶和华你们的神, 敬畏他, 遵守他的诫命, 听从他的话, 事奉他, 紧靠他.

13:5 But that prophet or the dreamer of that dream shall be executed, for he spoke falsely about Yahweh your God, the one bringing you out from the land of Egypt and the one redeeming you from the house of slavery, in order to seduce you from the way that Yahweh your God commanded you to go in it; so in this way you shall purge the evil from your midst.
至于那先知, 或作梦的人, 你们要把他处死, 因为他说了叛逆的话, 叛逆了那领你们出埃及地, 救赎你脱离为奴之家的耶和华你们的神, 要你离弃耶和华你的神吩咐你走的道路. 这样你就把那恶从你们中间除掉了.

13:6 “If your brother, the son of your mother or your son or your daughter or your wife whom you embrace or your intimate friend in secrecy says, ‘Let us go and let us serve other gods!’ gods that you and your ancestors have not known,
“你的同母兄弟或你的儿女, 你怀中的妻子或视你如自己性命的朋友, 如果暗中引诱你, 说: ‘我们去事奉别的神吧. ’就是你和你的列祖向来不认识的,

13:7 from among the gods of the people who are around you, those near you or those far from you, from one end of the earth and up to the other end of the earth,
是你们周围各族的神, 无论是离你近的, 或是离你远的神; 从地这边直到地那边的神,

13:8 you must not give in to him, and you shall not listen to him, and your eye shall not take pity on him, and you shall not have compassion, and you shall not cover up for him.
你都不可依从他, 也不可听从他; 你的眼不可顾惜他, 你不可怜悯他, 也不可袒护他;

13:9 But you shall certainly kill him; your hand shall be first against him to kill him and next the hand of all of the people.
总要把他杀死, 你要先向他动手, 然后全民才动手打死他.

13:10 And you shall stone him with stones and let him die, for he tried to seduce you from Yahweh your God, the one bringing you from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
你要用石头打死他, 因为他要使你离弃那领你出埃及地, 脱离为奴之家的耶和华你的神.

13:11 And all of Israel shall hear, and they shall fear, and they shall not continue to act according to this evil thing in your midst.
这样, 全以色列听见了, 必然害怕, 就不会再在你们中间行这样的恶了.

13:12 “If you hear in one of your towns which Yahweh your God is giving to you to live in, someone saying that
“在耶和华你的神赐给你居住的一座城中, 如果你听说

13:13 worthless men have gone out from your midst and have seduced the inhabitants of their town, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods!’ whom you have not known,
有些匪徒从你中间出来, 把本城的居民引离, 说: ‘我们去事奉别的神吧. ’那些神是你们素来不认识的;

13:14 then you shall inquire and examine and interrogate thoroughly, and, look! It is true; the thing has actually been done, this detestable thing in your midst,
你就要调查,研究, 仔细访问, 如果的确有这可厌恶的事行在你们中间,

13:15 then you shall certainly strike down the inhabitants of that town with the edge of the sword; you shall destroy it and everything in it, its domestic animals with the edge of the sword.
你就要用刀剑把那城里的居民杀掉, 把那城和城里的一切, 以及牲畜, 都用刀剑完全毁灭.

13:16 And then you shall gather all of its booty into the middle of its public square, and you shall burn the town and all of its war-booty totally for Yahweh your God, and it shall be a pile of rubble forever; it shall not be built again.
并且把从城里掠夺的一切战利品, 都要收集在那城的广场上, 用火把城和在城里掠夺的一切战利品焚烧, 献给耶和华你的神; 那城就要永远成为废墟, 不可再建造.

13:17 And let not something cling to your hand from the things devoted to destruction, so that Yahweh may turn back from his burning anger, and he may show compassion to you and he may continue to show compassion and so multiply you just as he swore to your ancestors,
那当毁灭的物, 一点也不可留在你手中, 好使耶和华转意不发烈怒, 反而向你施恩, 怜悯你, 照着他向你的列祖所起的誓, 使你的人数增多;

13:18 if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all of his commandments that I am commanding to you today so as to do the right thing in the eyes of Yahweh your God.”
只要你听从耶和华你的神的话, 遵守我今日吩咐你的一切诫命, 实行耶和华你的神看为正的事, 就必这样. ”

“每七年的最后一年, 你要施行豁免.

15:2 And this is the manner of the remission of debt: every creditor shall remit his claim that he holds against his neighbor, and he shall not exact payment from his brother because there a remission of debt has been proclaimed unto Yahweh.
豁免的方式是这样: 债主都要把借给邻舍的一切豁免了, 不可向邻舍和兄弟追讨, 因为耶和华的豁免年已经宣告了.

你一定要向他伸手, 照着他缺乏的借给他, 补足他的缺乏.

15:9 Take care so that there will not be a thought of wickedness in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of the remission of debt is near,’ and you view your needy neighbor with hostility, and so you do not give to him, and he might cry out against you to Yahweh, and you would incur guilt against yourself.
你要自己谨慎, 不可心里起恶念, 说: ‘第七年的豁免年近了’, 你就冷眼对待你穷苦的兄弟, 什么都不给他, 以致他因你求告耶和华, 你就有罪了.

你使他自由离开的时候, 不可让他空手而去;

15:14 You shall generously supply him from among your flocks and from your threshing floor and from your press; according to that with which Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
要从你的羊群,禾场,榨酒池中, 多多地供给他; 耶和华你的神怎样赐福给你, 你也要怎样分给他.

15:15 And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you; therefore I am commanding you thus today.
你要记得你在埃及地作过奴仆, 耶和华你的神救赎了你; 因此我今日吩咐你这件事.

15:16 And then if it will happen that he says to you, ‘I do not want to go out from you,’ because he loves you and your family, because it is good for him to be with you;
如果他对你说: ‘我不愿离开你. ’他说这话是因为他爱你和你的家, 又因为他喜欢和你相处,

15:17 then you shall take an awl, and you shall thrust it through his earlobe and into the door, and he shall be to you a slave forever; and you shall also do likewise for your slave woman.
那么, 你就要拿锥子, 把他的耳朵在门上刺透, 他就永远作你的奴仆; 对待你的婢女, 你也要这样行.

一位先知奉耶和华的名说话, 如果那话不成就, 也不应验, 这话就不是耶和华说的; 是那先知擅自说的, 你不要怕他. ”

19:1 “When Yahweh your God has exterminated the nations concerning whom Yahweh your God is giving to you their land, and you have dispossessed them, and you have settled in their towns and in their houses,
“耶和华你的神把列国的民剪除了, 耶和华你的神把他们的地赐给了你, 你赶走了那些国民, 住在他们的城市和房屋以后,

19:2 you shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land that Yahweh your God is giving to you to take possession of it.
你就要在耶和华你的神赐给你得为业的地上, 为自己分别三座城.

你要为自己预备道路, 又要把耶和华你的神给你作产业的地分为三区, 使误杀人的可以逃到那里去.

19:4 “Now this is the case of the manslayer who may flee there and live there who has killed his neighbor unintentionally, and he did not hate him previously.
“误杀人的逃到那里, 就可以存活, 规例是这样: 无意杀了人, 彼此又素无仇恨的,

19:5 For example, when somebody goes with his neighbor into the forest to cut wood, and the iron head slips from the handle of the tool and strikes his neighbor and he dies, then he may flee to one of these cities, and so he may live.
譬如他和邻舍同进森林砍伐树木, 他手里挥着斧子砍伐树木的时候, 斧头竟脱了把, 落在邻舍身上, 以致那人死了, 他就可以逃到这些城中的一座去, 这样他就可以活命,

19:6 He does this lest the avenger of blood might pursue after the killer, because he is hot with anger and he overtakes him, because it is a long distance to the city of refuge, and so he kills him, but he did not deserve a death sentence, because he was not hating him before.
免得报血仇的, 心中怒火如焚的时候, 追赶那误杀人的, 因为路途长远, 就追上了他, 把他杀死; 其实他没有该死的罪, 因为他和那人素无仇恨.

19:7 Therefore I am commanding you, saying, ‘You shall set apart three cities.’

19:9 then if you diligently observe this entire commandment that I am commanding you today by loving Yahweh your God and by going in his ways at all times, then you shall add three more cities for yourselves to these three.
如果你谨守遵行我今日吩咐你的这一切诫命, 爱耶和华你的神, 常常行他的道路, 你就要在这三座城以外, 再加添三座城;

19:10 Do this so that innocent blood will not be shed in the midst of your land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance and thereby bloodguilt would be on you.
免得无辜人的血, 流在耶和华你的神要赐给你作产业的地上, 以致流人血的罪归在你身上.

19:11 But if someone hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and rises up against him and murders him, and the murderer flees to one of these cities,
“但是, 如果有人恨他的邻舍, 埋伏着等他, 起来攻击他, 把他杀死了, 然后逃到这些城中的一座;

19:12 then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and they shall give him into the hand of the avenger of blood, and he shall be put to death.
他本城的长老要派人去, 把他从那里带出来, 交在报血仇的人手中, 好把他处死.

19:13 Your eye shall not take pity on him, and you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that good will be directed toward you.
你的眼睛不可顾惜他, 却要把流无辜人的血的罪从以色列中除掉, 好使你平安无事.

“在耶和华你的神要赐给你承受为业的地上, 不可挪移你邻舍的地界, 因为那是先人立定的.

19:15 The testimony of a single witness may not be used to convict with respect to any crime and for any wrongdoing in any offense that a person committed; on the evidence of two witnesses or on the evidence of three witnesses a charge shall be sustained.
“人无论有什么过错, 或是犯了什么罪恶, 不可凭着一个见证人的指证, 总要凭着两个见证人的口供, 或是三个见证人的口供, 才可以确定.

19:16 If a malicious witness gets up to accuse anyone to testify against him falsely,
如果有强横的见证人起来, 指证某人作恶,

19:17 then the two men to whom the legal dispute pertains shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days.
那么, 两个彼此争讼的人, 就要站在耶和华面前, 和当时在职的祭司与审判官面前.

19:18 Then judges shall make a thorough inquiry, and if it turns out that the witness is a false witness and he testified falsely against his brother,
审判官要仔细查问; 如果见证人是个假证人, 作假见证陷害自己的兄弟,

19:19 then you shall do to him as he meant to do to his brother, and so you shall purge the evil from your midst.
你们就要像他想怎样对待自己的兄弟一样对待他, 这样, 你就把那恶从你们中间除掉.

19:20 And the rest shall hear and shall fear, and they shall not continue to do such a thing again as this evil thing in your midst.
其余的人听见了, 就必害怕, 不敢再在你中间行这样的恶事了.

19:21 You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
你的眼睛不可顾惜, 要以命偿命, 以眼还眼, 以牙还牙, 以手还手, 以脚还脚. ”

28:60 And he shall bring back upon you all the diseases of Egypt concerning which you were in dread because of them.
他必使你惧怕的埃及人的各种疾病都临到你身上, 紧紧地缠着你.

28:61 Also any illness and any plague that is not written in the scroll of this law, he shall bring them, Yahweh, upon you until you are destroyed.
又把这律法书上没有记载的各样灾病, 都降在你身上, 直到你被消灭.

28:62 And you shall remain only a few people in place of the fact you were formerly as the stars of heaven as far as number is concerned, because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
你们以前虽然像天上的星那么多, 现在剩下的人数却寥寥可数, 因为你不听从耶和华你的神的话.

28:63 And then as Yahweh delighted over you to make you prosperous to make you numerous, so Yahweh shall delight over you to exterminate you and to destroy you, and so you shall be plucked from the land that you are going there to take possession of it.
先前耶和华怎样喜欢你们得好处, 使你们人数众多, 将来也必怎样喜欢你们灭亡, 把你们消灭; 你们必从要进去得为业的地上被拔除.

28:64 And Yahweh shall scatter you among all the nations from one end of the earth up to the other end of the earth, and there you shall serve other gods that you have not known nor your ancestors, gods of wood and stone.
耶和华必使你分散在万民中, 从地的这边到地的那边; 在那里你要事奉你和你的列祖不认识的别的神, 就是木头和石头做的神.

28:65 And among these nations you shall not find rest, and there shall not be a resting place for the sole of your foot, and Yahweh shall give you there an anxious heart and a weakening of eyes and a languishing of your inner self.
在那些国中, 你必不得安息, 也没有脚掌歇息的地方; 耶和华却必使你在那里心中发颤, 眼目憔悴, 精神颓废.

28:66 And your life shall hang in doubt before you, and you shall be startled night and day, and you shall not be confident of your life.
你未来的生命必悬而不定; 你必昼夜恐惧, 生命难保.

28:67 In the morning you shall say, ‘If only it was evening!’ and in the evening you shall say ‘If only it was morning!’ because of the dread of your heart that you shall feel, and because of the sight of your eyes that you shall see.
因你心里的惧怕惊恐和你眼中看见的景象, 早晨你必说: ‘但愿现在是晚上! ’晚上你必说: ‘但愿现在是早晨! ’

28:68 And Yahweh shall bring you back to Egypt in ships by the route that I promised to you that ‘You shall not see it again!’ And you shall sell yourself there to your enemies as slaves and as female slaves, but there will not be a buyer.”
耶和华必用船把你送回埃及去, 走我曾经告诉你, 你不得再见的那条路; 在那里你们必卖身给你的仇敌作奴仆和作婢女, 却没有人买. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 29

29:1 These are the words of the covenant that Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab besides the covenant that he made with them at Horeb.
这些是耶和华在摩押地, 吩咐摩西与以色列人所立的约的话, 是耶和华和他们在何烈山所立的约以外的.

29:2 And Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them, “You saw all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt and to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land;
摩西把以色列众人召了来, 对他们说: “耶和华在埃及地, 在你们面前, 向法老和他的众臣仆, 以及他的全国所行的一切, 你们都看见了,

29:3 that is, the great trials that your eyes saw, and those great signs and wonders.
就是你亲眼见过的大试验和神迹, 以及那些大奇事;

29:4 But Yahweh has not given to you a heart to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear, even to this day.
但是直到今日, 耶和华还没有给你们一颗能明白的心, 能看见的眼睛, 能听见的耳朵.

29:5 And I have led you forty years in the desert; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.
我在旷野四十年之久领导你们; 你们身上的衣服没有穿破, 脚上的鞋也没有穿坏.

29:6 You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine and strong drink, so that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.
饭你们没有吃, 清酒或烈酒你们没有喝, 这是要使你们知道耶和华是你们的神.

29:7 And when you came to this place then Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out to meet you for battle, and we defeated them.
你们来到了这地方, 希实本王西宏和巴珊王噩就出来, 与我们交战, 我们击败了他们.

29:8 And we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to the half-tribe of Manasseh.
夺取了他们的地, 分给流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派作产业.

29:9 And you must diligently observe the words of this covenant, so that you may succeed in all that you do.
所以你们要谨守这约的话, 并且遵行, 好使你们在所行的一切事上都亨通.

29:10 “You are standing today, all of you, before Yahweh your God, your leaders, your tribes, your elders, and your officials, all the men of Israel,
“今日你们全都站在耶和华你们的神面前; 你们的首领,族长,长老,官长和以色列所有的男子,

29:11 your little children, your women and your aliens who are in the midst of your camp, from the choppers of your wood to the drawers of your water,
你们的小孩,妻子和在你营中的寄居者, 以及为你们劈柴挑水的人, 都站在耶和华你们的神面前,

29:12 in order for you to enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, and into his oath that Yahweh your God is making with you today,
为要叫你遵守耶和华你的神今日与你所立的约, 和他向你所起的誓;

29:13 in order to establish you today to himself as a people and so that he may be for you as God, just as he promised to you and just as he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
这样, 他今日可以立你作他的子民, 他可以作你的神, 正如他曾经对你说过的, 又对你的列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起过誓的.

29:14 “Now I am not making this covenant and this oath with you alone.
“我不但与你们立这约, 起这誓;

29:15 But with whoever is standing here with us today before Yahweh our God, and with whoever is not standing here with us today.
而且也与那些今日和我们在这里, 一同站在耶和华我们的神面前的人, 以及那些今日不与我们同在这里的人立这约, 起这誓.

29:16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we traveled through the midst of the nations that you traveled through.
你们清楚知道我们怎样在埃及地住过, 怎样从列国中经过;

29:17 And you have seen their detestable things and their idols of wood and stone, silver, and gold that were among them,
你们也见过他们的可憎之物, 和他们那里那些木,石,金,银的偶像.

29:18 so that there is not among you a man or a woman or a clan or a tribe whose heart turns today from being with Yahweh our God to go to serve the gods of these nations, so that there is not among you a root sprouting poison and wormwood.
恐怕你们中间有男人或女人, 家族或支派, 今日心里偏离了耶和华我们的神, 去事奉那些国的神, 又恐怕你们中间有恶根, 生出毒草和苦堇来;

29:19 And then when he hears the words of this oath, then he will assure himself in his heart, saying, ‘Safety shall be mine even though I go in the stubbornness of my heart,’ thereby destroying the well-watered land along with the parched.
如果人听了这咒诅的话, 心里仍然自夸说: ‘我虽然照着顽梗的心而行, 使好人和恶人一起灭亡, 我还有平安. ’

29:20 Yahweh will not be willing to forgive him, for by then the anger of Yahweh will smoke, and his passion against that man and all the curses written in this scroll will descend on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under heaven.
耶和华必不肯饶恕他; 耶和华的怒气和愤恨必向这人发作, 这书上所写的一切咒诅都要降在那人身上, 耶和华也必从天下涂抹他的名.

29:21 And Yahweh will single him out for calamity out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in the scroll of this law.
耶和华必照着写在这律法书上的约的一切咒诅, 把他从以色列众支派中分别出来, 使他遭受灾祸.

29:22 “And the next generation, that is, your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a distant land, when they will see the plagues of that land and its diseases that Yahweh has inflicted upon it, will say,
“后代的人, 就是你们以后兴起来的子孙, 和从远方来的外族人, 看见了这地的灾难和耶和华降与这地的疾病,

29:23 ‘All its land is brimstone and salt left by fire, none of its land will be sown, and it will not make plants sprout out and it will not grow any vegetation; it is as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Adman and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overturned in his anger and in his wrath.’
又看见了遍地有硫磺, 有盐卤, 有火烧, 没有播种, 没有出产, 寸草不生, 好像耶和华在烈怒和怒火中毁灭的所多玛,蛾摩拉,押玛,洗扁一样,

29:24 And all the nations will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done such a thing to this land? What caused the fierceness of this great anger?’
看见了这些的人和万国的人都要问: ‘耶和华为什么向这地这样行呢? 为什么大发烈怒呢? ’

29:25 And they will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out from the land of Egypt.
人就必回答: ‘是因为他们离弃了耶和华他们列祖的神的约, 就是耶和华把他们从埃及地领出来的时候, 与他们所立的;

29:26 And they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods whom they did not know them and he had not allotted to them.
去事奉别的神, 向他们叩拜, 就是他们不认识的神, 也是耶和华没有给他们指定要拜的神;

29:27 So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against that land to bring upon it all the curses written in this scroll,
所以耶和华向这地大发烈怒, 把这书上所写的一切咒诅都降在这地上;

29:28 and Yahweh uprooted them from their land in anger and in wrath and in great fury, and he cast them into another land, just as it is today.’
于是耶和华在烈怒,忿怒和大怒中, 把他们从他们的地土拔出来, 丢在别的地方, 像今天一样. ’

29:29 “The hidden things belong to Yahweh our God, but the revealed things belong to us to know and to our children forever, in order to do all the words of this law.”
“奥秘的事, 是属于耶和华我们的神的, 只有显露的事, 是永远属于我们和我们子孙的, 好叫我们遵行这律法上的一切话. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 30

30:1 “And then when all of these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse that I have set before you and you call them to mind among the nations there where Yahweh your God has scattered you,
“当这一切事, 就是我摆在你面前的祝福和咒诅, 都临到你身上的时候, 你在耶和华你的神赶逐你去的万国中, 你心里必回想这些话,

30:2 and you return to Yahweh and you listen to his voice according to all that I am commanding you today, both you and your children, with all your heart and with all your inner self,
你和你的子孙必一心一意归向耶和华你的神, 照着我今日吩咐你的一切听从他的话.

30:3 and Yahweh your God will restore your fortunes, and he will have compassion upon you, and he will again gather you together from all the peoples where Yahweh your God scattered you there.
那时, 耶和华你的神就必使你这被掳的人回归, 他必怜悯你; 耶和华你的神必从你被分散到的万民中, 把你再召集回来.

30:4 “Even if you are outcasts at the end of the heavens, even from there Yahweh your God shall gather you, and from there he shall bring you back.
你被赶逐的人, 就是在天涯海角, 耶和华你的神也必从那里把你召集回来, 从那里把你带回.

30:5 And Yahweh your God will bring you to the land that your ancestors had taken possession of, and he will make you successful, and he will make you more numerous than your ancestors.
耶和华你的神必领你进入你列祖所得之地, 使你可以得着这地; 他必善待你, 他也必使你的人数增多, 胜过你的列祖.

30:6 “And Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring to love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your inner self so that you may live.
耶和华你的神必把你心里和你后裔心里的污秽除掉, 要你一心一意爱耶和华你的神, 使你可以存活.

30:7 And Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, on those who harassed you.
耶和华你的神必把这一切咒诅, 加在你的仇敌和恨恶你,逼迫你的人身上.

30:8 And you will again listen to the voice of Yahweh, and you will do all his commandments that I am commanding you today.
你却要再听从耶和华的话, 遵行他的一切诫命, 就是我今日吩咐你的.

30:9 And Yahweh your God will make you prosperous in all your undertakings, and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground abundantly, for Yahweh will again rejoice over you, just as he rejoiced over your ancestors.
耶和华你的神必使你手里所办的一切事,你身所生的,牲畜所出的,地土所产的, 都丰盛有余, 因为耶和华必再喜悦你, 使你得福, 像从前喜悦你的列祖一样;

30:10 He will do this if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God by keeping his commandment and his statutes written in the scroll of this law and if you return to Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your inner self.
只要你听从耶和华你的神的话, 谨守这律法书上所写的诫命和律例; 只要你一心一意回转归向耶和华你的神.

30:11 “For this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too wonderful for you, and it is not too far from you.
“其实我今日吩咐你的这诫命, 对你并不太难, 离你也不太远.

30:12 It is not in the heavens so that you might say, ‘Who will go up for us to the heavens and get it for us and cause us to hear it, so that we may do it?’
这诫命不是在天上, 以致你说: ‘谁替我们上到天上去, 为我们取下来, 使我们听见, 就可以遵行呢? ’

30:13 And it is not beyond the sea, so that you might say, ‘Who will cross for us to the other side of the sea and take it for us and cause us to hear it, so that we may do it?’
也不是在海外, 以致你说: ‘谁替我们过海去, 为我们取回来, 使我们听见, 就可以遵行呢? ’

30:14 But the word is very near you, even in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
其实这话离你很近, 就在你口里, 也在你心里, 使你可以遵行.

30:15 “See, I am setting before you today life and prosperity and death and disaster;
“你看, 我今日把生命和福乐, 死亡与灾祸, 都摆在你的面前了.

30:16 what I am commanding you today is to love Yahweh your God by going in his ways and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his regulations, and then you will live, and you will become numerous, and Yahweh your God will bless you in the land where you are going.
如果你听从耶和华你的神的诫命, 就是我今日吩咐你的; 爱耶和华你的神, 行他的道路, 谨守他的诫命,律例,典章, 使你可以存活, 人数增多, 耶和华你的神就必在你要进去得为业的地上赐福给你.

30:17 However, if your heart turns aside and you do not listen and you are lured away and you bow down to other gods and you serve them,
但是, 如果你的心偏离了, 不肯听从, 却被人勾引, 去敬拜和事奉别的神;

30:18 I declare to you today that you will certainly perish; you will not extend your time on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to go there to take possession of it.
我今日郑重地告诉你们, 你们必要灭亡; 在你过约旦河, 进去得为业的地上, 你的年日必不长久.

30:19 I invoke as a witness against you today the heaven and the earth: life and death I have set before you, blessing and curse. So choose life, so that you may live, you and your offspring,
我今日呼天唤地向你们作证, 我把生与死, 福与祸, 都摆在你面前了; 所以你要选择生命, 好让你和你的后裔都可以活着,

30:20 by loving Yahweh your God by listening to his voice and by clinging to him, for he is your life and the length of your days in order for you to live on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”
爱耶和华你的神, 听从他的话, 紧靠他, 因为那就是你的生命, 你的长寿; 这样, 你才能在耶和华向你的列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许要赐给他们的地上居住. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 31

31:1 And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
摩西又把这些话告诉以色列众人,

31:2 And he said to them, “I am a hundred and twenty years old today; I am not able to go out and to come in any longer, and Yahweh said to me, ‘You may not cross this Jordan.’
对他们说: “我现今一百二十岁, 不能再照常出入了; 耶和华也曾对我说: 你必不得过这约旦河.

31:3 Yahweh your God is about to cross before you; he will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will be crossing before you, just as Yahweh promised.
耶和华你的神要亲自领你们过去, 从你们面前消灭这些国的民, 使你们得着他们的地, 照着耶和华说过的, 约书亚要亲自领你们过去.

31:4 And Yahweh will do to them just as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to their land, which he destroyed with them.
耶和华对待他们, 必好像从前对待他消灭的亚摩利人的两个王西宏和噩, 以及他们的国一样.

31:5 And Yahweh will deliver them to you before you, and you shall do to them according to every commandment that I have commanded you.
耶和华必把他们交给你们, 你们照着我吩咐你们的一切命令对待他们.

31:6 Be strong and be courageous; you should not be afraid, and you should not be in dread from their presence, for Yahweh your God is the one going with you; he will not leave you alone and he will not forsake you.”
你们要坚强勇敢; 不要害怕, 也不要因他们畏惧, 因为耶和华你的神与你同去; 他决不撇下你, 也不离弃你. ”

31:7 Then Moses summoned Joshua, and he said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and be courageous, for you will go with this people into the land that Yahweh swore to their ancestors to give to them, and you will give it to them as an inheritance.
摩西把约书亚召了来, 在以色列众人面前对他说: “你要坚强勇敢, 因为你要和这人民一同进入耶和华向他们的列祖起誓, 应许要赐给他们的地; 你也要使他们得着那地为业.

31:8 Yahweh is the one going before you; he will be with you, and he will not leave you alone, and he will not forsake you; you shall not be afraid, and you shall not be discouraged.”
耶和华亲自在你前头行, 与你同在; 他决不撇下你, 也不离弃你; 你不要害怕, 也不要惊慌. ”

31:9 So Moses wrote this law, and he gave it to the priests, the descendants of Levi, the ones carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel.
摩西把这律法写好了, 就交给抬耶和华约柜的利未支派的祭司子孙, 和以色列的众长老.

31:10 Then Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the time of the year for canceling debts during the Feast of Booths,
摩西吩咐他们: “每逢七年的最后一年, 就是在豁免年的定期, 住棚节期间,

31:11 when all Israel comes to appear before Yahweh their God at the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
以色列众人来到耶和华你的神选择的地方朝见他的时候, 你要在以色列众人面前把这律法宣读给他们听.

31:12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little children and your aliens that are in your towns, so that they may hear and so that they may learn and they may revere Yahweh your God, and they shall diligently observe all the words of this law.
你要召集人民,男人,女人,孩子, 以及你城里的寄居者, 叫他们可以听见, 叫他们可以学习, 好敬畏耶和华你们的神, 谨守遵行这律法的一切话,

31:13 And then their children, who have not known, they too may hear, and they may learn to revere Yahweh their God all the days that you live on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to get there to take possession of it.”
也叫他们还不认识这律法的儿女可以听见, 使他们在你们过约旦河去得为业的地上生活的时候, 一生学习敬畏耶和华你们的神. ”

31:14 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, you are about to die; call Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of assembly, so that I may instruct him.” So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tent of assembly.
耶和华对摩西说: “看哪, 你的死期临近了; 你要把约书亚召来, 你们二人要站在会幕里, 我好吩咐他. ”于是摩西和约书亚前去, 一同站在会幕里.

31:15 And Yahweh appeared in the tent in a column of cloud, and the column of the cloud stood at the entrance of the tent.
耶和华在会幕里, 在云柱中显现, 这云柱停在会幕的门口上面.

31:16 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, you are about to lie down with your ancestors, and this people will arise and they will play the prostitute after the foreign gods of the land to which they are going.
耶和华对摩西说: “看哪, 你快要和你的列祖长眠了; 这人民要起来, 在他们所要去的地方, 在那地的人中, 与外族人的神行邪淫, 离弃我, 破坏我与他们所立的约.

31:17 And my anger shall flare up against them on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall become as prey, and disasters and troubles shall find them, and they shall say on that day, ‘Is it not because our God is not in our midst that these disasters have found us?’
到了那日, 我必向他们大发烈怒, 离弃他们, 掩面不顾他们, 他们就必被吞灭, 并且遭遇很多灾祸和患难. 到了那日, 他们必说: ‘我们遭遇这些灾祸, 不是因为我们的神不在我们中间吗? ’

31:18 But I will certainly hide my face on that day, because of all of the evil that they did because they turned to other gods.
到了那日, 因为他们偏向了别的神, 和所作的一切恶事, 我必掩面不顾他们.

31:19 “And so then write this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; put it in their mouth, so that this song may be for me as a witness against the Israelites.
所以, 现在你们要为自己写下这首诗歌来, 教导以色列人, 放在他们口中, 使这首诗歌成为我反对他们的见证.

31:20 For when I bring them into the land that I swore to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill, and they will become fat, and then they will turn to other gods, and they will serve them, and they will spurn me, and they will break my covenant.
因为我把他们领进了我向他们的列祖起誓应许的地, 就是流奶与蜜的地, 他们在那里吃饱了, 发胖了, 就必偏向别的神, 事奉他们, 藐视我, 破坏我的约.

31:21 And then many disasters and troubles will come upon them, and this song will give evidence before them as a witness, because it will not be forgotten from out of the mouth of their descendants, for I know their inclination that they are having today before I have brought them into the land that I swore.”
他们遭遇许多灾祸和患难的时候, 这首诗歌就必在他们面前作证, 因为这首诗歌必不会从他们后裔的口中忘记. 其实, 我还未领他们进入我起誓应许之地以先, 他们今日心里所怀的意念, 我都知道了. ”

31:22 And Moses wrote this song on that day and taught it to the Israelites.
摩西就在那一天写下了这首诗歌, 教导以色列人.

31:23 Then he told Joshua the son of Nun, and said to him, “Be strong and be courageous, for you shall bring the Israelites into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
耶和华吩咐嫩的儿子约书亚, 说: “你当坚强勇敢, 因为你要领以色列人进我向他们起誓应许的地, 我必与你同在. ”

31:24 And then when Moses finished writing the words of this law on the scroll until they were complete,
摩西把这律法的话写在书上, 直到写完了,

31:25 then Moses commanded the Levites carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,
摩西就吩咐抬耶和华约柜的利未人说:

31:26 “Take the scroll of this law and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and it will be there as a witness against you.
“你们要把这律法书, 放在耶和华你们的神的约柜旁, 可以在那里作反对你们的见证,

31:27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck even now while I am still alive with you today, rebelling against Yahweh, and how much more after my death.
因为我知道你们的悖逆和硬颈. 看哪, 我今日还活着与你们同在的时候, 你们尚且悖逆耶和华, 何况我死了以后呢?

31:28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officials, so that I may speak in their ears these words, and that I may call as witness against them heaven and earth.
你们要把你们各支派的众长老和官长都召集到我这里来, 我好把这些话说给他们听, 并且呼天唤地对他们作证.

31:29 For I know that after my death you will certainly act corruptly, and you will turn aside from the way that I have commanded you, and the disaster in the future days will befall you, because you will do evil in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him with the work of your hands.”
因为我知道我死了以后, 你们必完全败坏, 偏离我吩咐你们的道路; 在末后的日子必有灾祸临到你们身上, 因为你们必行耶和华看为恶的事, 以你们手所作的事, 惹他发怒. ”

31:30 So Moses spoke into the ears of the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were complete.
于是摩西把这首诗歌的话, 都说给以色列的全体会众听, 直到说完了.

Deuteronomy - Chapter 32

32:1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
“天哪, 留心吧, 我要说话; 地啊, 聆听我口中的言语.

32:2 May my teaching trickle like the dew, my words like rain showers on tender grass, and like spring showers on new growth.
我的教训下降如雨, 我的言语滴落如露, 像细雨落在青草上, 像甘霖降在蔬菜上.

32:3 For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh; ascribe greatness to our God!
因为我要宣告耶和华的名; 你们要尊崇我们的神的伟大.

32:4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just; he is a faithful God, and without injustice; righteous and upright is he.
他是磐石, 他的作为完全, 因为他一切所行的全都公平; 他是诚实无伪的神, 又公义, 又正直.

32:5 They have behaved corruptly toward him; they are not his children; this is their flaw, a generation crooked and perverse.
这世代向他行事败坏, 就不是他的儿女, 满有弊病, 这实在是个乖僻弯曲的世代.

32:6 Like this do you treat Yahweh, foolish and unwise people? Has he not, your father, created you? He made you, and he established you.
愚昧无知的人民哪, 你们这样报答耶和华吗? 他不是你的父, 不是把你买回来的吗? 他造了你, 建立了你.

32:7 Remember the old days, the years long past; ask your father, and he will inform you, your elders and they will tell you.
你要回想古时的日子, 思念历代以来的年月; 问你的父亲, 他必告诉你; 问你的长者, 他们必对你说.

32:8 When the Most High apportioned the nations, at his dividing up of the sons of humankind, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples, according to the number of the children of Israel.
至高者把地业赐给列国的时候, 把人类分开的时候, 就照着以色列子孙的数目, 立定了万民的境界.

32:9 For Yahweh’s portion was his people, Jacob the share of his inheritance.
但耶和华的分就是他的子民, 他的产业就是雅各.

32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in a howling, desert wasteland; he encircled him, he cared for him, he protected him like the apple of his eye.
耶和华在旷野之地遇见了他, 在荒凉之地和野兽吼叫的荒野, 遇见了他, 就环绕他, 看顾他, 保护他, 好像保护自己眼中的瞳人一样.

32:11 As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads out its wings, takes them, carries them on its pinions,
又像老鹰搅动巢窝, 飞翔在雏鹰之上, 扇展翅膀, 接取雏鹰, 背在自己的两翼之上.

32:12 so Yahweh alone guided him, and there was no foreign god accompanying him.
耶和华独自领导了他, 并没有外族人的神与他同在.

32:13 And he set him on the high places of the land, and he fed him the crops of the field, and he nursed him with honey from crags, and with oil from flinty rock,
耶和华使他乘驾地的高处, 得吃田间的土产; 又使他从岩石中吸蜜, 从坚固的磐石中取油.

32:14 With curds from the herd, and with milk from the flock, with the fat of young rams, and rams, the offspring of Bashan, and with goats along with the finest kernels of wheat, and from the blood of grapes you drank fermented wine.
也吃牛酪和羊乳, 羊羔的脂肪, 巴珊的公牛和公山羊, 以及上好的麦子; 也喝了葡萄汁酿成的酒.

32:15 And Jeshurun grew fat, and he kicked; you grew fat, you bloated, and you became obstinate; and he abandoned God, his maker, and he scoffed at the rock of his salvation.
但耶书仑肥胖了, 就踢跳, ‘你肥胖了, 你粗壮了, 你饱满了, ’他离弃了造他的神, 轻看了救他的磐石.

32:16 They made him jealous with strange gods; with detestable things they provoked him.
他们以外族人的神激动了神的愤恨, 以可憎之事惹起了他的怒气.

32:17 They sacrificed to the demons, not God, to gods whom they had not known, new gods who came from recent times; their ancestors had not known them.
他们献祭给鬼魔(他们不是神), 就是他们从来不认识的神, 是近来新兴的, 是你们的列祖所不惧怕的.

32:18 The rock who bore you, you neglected, and you forgot God, the one giving you birth.
你轻忽了生你的磐石, 你忘记了产你的神.

32:19 Then Yahweh saw, and he spurned them, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
因为他的儿女激怒了神, 耶和华看见了, 就弃绝了他们,

32:20 So he said, ‘I will hide my face from them; I will see what will be their end, for they are a generation of perversity, children in whom there is no faithfulness.
说: ‘我必掩面不顾他们, 要看看他们的结局怎样; 因为他们是乖曲的一代, 心里没有信实的人.

32:21 They annoyed me with what is not a god; they provoked me with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those not a people, with a foolish nation I will provoke them.
他们以不是神的神激动了我的愤恨, 以虚无之物惹动了我的怒气; 我也以不是子民的人激动他们的愤恨, 以愚昧的国民惹动他们的怒气.

32:22 For a fire was kindled by my anger, and it burned up to the depths of Sheol, and it devoured the earth and its produce, and it set afire the foundation of the mountains.
因为在我的怒中有火燃烧起来, 烧到阴间的深处, 把大地和地的出产尽都吞灭, 连山的根基也烧着了.

32:23 I will heap disasters upon them; my arrows I will spend on them.
我要把灾祸加在他们身上, 把我的箭向他们射尽.

32:24 They will become weakened by famine, and consumed by plague and bitter pestilence; and the teeth of wild animals I will send against them, with the poison of the creeping things in the dust;
他们必因饥荒消瘦, 被热病和毒症消灭; 我也要打发野兽用牙齿咬他们, 和土中的蛇类用毒液害他们.

32:25 From outside her boundaries the sword will make her childless, and from inside, terror; both for the young man and also the young woman, the infant along with the gray-headed man.
外有刀剑, 内有惊恐, 使人丧亡, 使少男少女, 婴孩和白发老人, 尽都丧亡.

32:26 I thought, “I will wipe them out; I will make people forget they ever existed.”
我原想: “我要把他们分散到各处, 把他们的名号都从人间除灭. ”

32:27 If I had not feared a provocation of the enemy, lest their foes might misunderstand, lest they should say, “Our hand is triumphant, and Yahweh did not do all this.” ’
但我惧怕仇人激动我, 恐怕敌人误会了, 又恐怕他们说: “是我们的手高举了, 并不是耶和华作了这一切事. ”’

32:28 For they are a nation void of sense, and there is not any understanding in them.
因为他们是缺乏计谋的国, 他们心中没有见识.

32:29 If only they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern for themselves their end.
如果你们有智慧, 就可以明白这事, 认清自己将来的结局了.

32:30 How could one chase a thousand and two could cause a myriad to flee, if their Rock had not sold them, and Yahweh had not given them up?
如果不是他们的磐石把他们出卖了, 如果不是耶和华把他们交出来, 一人怎能追赶一千人, 二人怎能使万人逃跑呢?

32:31 For the fact of the matter is, their rock is not like our Rock, and our enemies recognize this.
连我们的仇敌也自己断定, 他们的磐石不像我们的磐石.

32:32 For their vine is from the vine of Sodom, and from the terraces of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
因为他们的葡萄树, 是所多玛的葡萄树所出的, 是蛾摩拉的田地所生的; 他们的葡萄是毒葡萄, 每一挂都是苦的.

32:33 Their wine is the poison of snakes, and the deadly poison of horned vipers.
他们的酒是大蛇的毒液, 是虺蛇的剧毒.

32:34 ‘Is not this stored up with me, sealed in my treasuries?’
这不是贮藏在我这里, 封闭在我的宝库中吗?

32:35 Vengeance belongs to me and also recompense, for at the time their foot slips, because the day of their disaster is near, and fate comes quickly for them.’
等到他们失足的时候, 我要伸冤报应; 因为他们遭遇灾难的日子近了, 那预备要临到他们身上的事, 必快快临到.

32:36 For Yahweh will judge on behalf of his people, and concerning his servants; he will change his mind when he sees that their power has disappeared, and there is no one left, confined or free.
耶和华要为自己的子民伸冤, 为自己的仆人难过, 因为耶和华看见他们的能力已经消逝, 为奴的或自由的都没有剩下一人.

32:37 And he will say, ‘Where are their gods, their rock in whom they took refuge?
他必说: ‘他们的神在哪里呢? 他们投靠的磐石在哪里呢?

32:38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their libations? Let them rise up, and let them help you; Let them be to you a refuge.
就是向来吃他们祭牲脂肪的, 喝他们奠祭之酒的神在哪里呢? 让他们兴起来帮助你们吧, 愿他们保护你们吧!

32:39 See, now, that I, even I am he, and there is not a god besides me; I put to death and I give life; I wound and I heal; there is not one who delivers from my hand!
现在你们要知道, 只有我是那一位, 除我以外, 并没有别的神; 我使人死, 也使人活; 我打伤, 我也医治; 没有人可以从我的手里抢救出去.

32:40 For indeed I lift up my hand to heaven, And I promise as I live forever,
我向天举手说: 我活到永永远远;

32:41 When I sharpen my flashing sword, and my hand takes hold of it in judgment, I will take reprisals against my foes, and my haters I will repay.
如果我磨亮了我的刀剑, 如果我掌握了审判权, 就必向我的仇敌伸冤, 必向恨我的人报应.

32:42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain, and captives from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.’
我要使我的箭饮血饮醉, 就是被杀的人和被掳的人的血; 我的刀剑要吃肉, 就是吃仇敌长发首领的肉. ’

32:43 Call for songs of joy, O nations, concerning his people, for the blood of his servants he will avenge, and he will take reprisals against his foes, and he will make atonement for his land, his people.”
列国啊, 你们当与耶和华的子民一同欢呼, 因为他要伸他仆人流血的冤, 他要向他的仇人报复, 他要救赎他的地和他的子民. ”

32:44 And Moses came, and he spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people; that is, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
摩西和嫩的儿子约书亚前来, 把这首诗歌的一切话都说给人民听.

32:45 And when Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel,
摩西向以色列众人说完了这一切话,

32:46 then he said to them, “Take to heart all the words that I am admonishing against you today concerning which you should instruct them with respect to your children so that they will observe diligently all the words of this law,
就对他们说: “我今日警告你们的一切话, 你们都要放在心上, 好吩咐你们的子孙谨守遵行这律法上的一切话.

32:47 for it is not a trifling matter among you, but it is your life, and through this word you will live long in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan to get there to take possession of it.”
因为这不是空洞,与你们无关重要的事, 而是你们的生命; 借着这事, 你们在过约旦河去得为业的地上, 才可以日子长久. ”

32:48 And Yahweh said to Moses on exactly this day, saying,
就在那一天, 耶和华对摩西说:

32:49 “Go up to this mountain of the Abarim range, Mount Nebo, which is opposite Jericho, and see the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites as a possession.
“你要上这亚巴琳山去, 就是尼波山, 在耶利哥对面的摩押地, 观看我赐给以色列人为业的迦南地.

32:50 You shall die on that mountain that you are about to go up there, and you will be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and he was gathered to his people,
你必死在你登上的山上, 归到你的族人那里去, 像你的哥哥亚伦死在何珥山上, 归到他的族人那里去一样.

32:51 because of the fact that you broke faith with me in the midst of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the desert of Zin, because you did not treat me as holy in the midst of the Israelites.
因为你们在寻的旷野, 在加低斯米利巴水边, 在以色列人中间悖逆我, 在以色列人中间没有尊我为圣.

32:52 Yes, from afar you may view the land, but there you shall not enter there, that is, into the land that I am giving to the Israelites.”
我赐给以色列人的地, 你可以从对面观看, 却不得进去. ”

他们要把你的典章教训雅各, 把你的律法教训以色列; 他们要把香焚在你面前, 把全牲的燔祭献在你的祭坛上.

摩西从摩押平原上了尼波山, 就是上了耶利哥对面的毗斯迦山顶. 耶和华把全地指给他看, 就是把基列直到但,

拿弗他利全地, 以法莲和玛拿西之地, 犹大全地, 直到西海,

34:3 and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar.
南地和那平原, 就是棕树城耶利哥的盆地, 直到琐珥, 都指给他看.

耶和华对他说: “这就是我曾经向亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许之地, 说: ‘我要把这地赐给你的后裔. ’现在我让你亲眼看见了, 可是你不能过到那边去. ”

Joshua (约书亚记)

Joshua - Chapter 1

1:1 After the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, Yahweh said to Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, saying,
耶和华的仆人摩西死了以后, 耶和华吩咐摩西的侍从, 嫩的儿子约书亚, 说:

1:2 “My servant Moses is dead. Get up and cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites.
“我的仆人摩西死了; 现在你要起来, 和全体人民过这约旦河, 到我现在要赐给他们以色列人的地去.

1:3 Every place that the soles of your feet will tread, I have given it to you, as I promised to Moses.
你们脚掌踏过的每一处地方, 我都照着我应许摩西的赐给你们了.

1:4 From the wilderness and the Lebanon, up to the great river, the river Euphrates, all of the land of the Hittites, and up to the great sea in the west, will be your territory.
从旷野和这黎巴嫩, 直到大河, 就是幼发拉底河, 赫人的全地, 以至大海日落的地方, 就是你们的疆界.

1:5 No one will stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you, and I will not forsake you.
你一生的日子必没有一人能在你面前立得住; 我怎样与摩西同在, 也必照样与你同在; 我决不离开你, 也不离弃你.

1:6 Be strong and courageous, for you will give the people this land as an inheritance that I swore to their ancestors to give them.
你要坚强勇敢, 因为你必使这人民得着我曾经向他们列祖起誓, 要赐给他们的那地作产业.

1:7 Only be strong and very courageous to observe diligently the whole law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn aside from it, to the right or left, so that you may succeed wherever you go.
你只要坚强, 十分勇敢, 谨守遵行我仆人摩西吩咐你的一切律法, 不可偏离左右, 好使你无论到哪里去, 都可以亨通.

1:8 The scroll of this law will not depart from your mouth; you will meditate on it day and night so that you may observe diligently all that is written in it. For then you will succeed in your ways and prosper.
这律法书不可离开你的口, 要昼夜默诵, 好使你谨守遵行书中所记的一切; 这样, 你的道路就必顺利, 你必一路亨通.

1:9 Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”
我不是吩咐过你要坚强勇敢吗? 所以, 你不要惧怕, 也不要惊慌; 因为你无论到哪里去, 耶和华你的神必与你同在. ”

1:10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
于是约书亚吩咐人民的官长说:

1:11 “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people: ‘Prepare your provisions; in three days you are to cross the Jordan to go possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess.’ ”
“你们要走遍营中, 吩咐人民说: ‘你们要预备粮食, 因为三天之内, 你们要过这约旦河, 进去得耶和华你们的神要赐给你们作产业的地. ’”

1:12 To the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said,
约书亚又对流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人说:

1:13 “Remember the word that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, saying, ‘Yahweh your God is giving rest to you, and he is giving you this land.’
“你们要记住耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐你们的话: ‘耶和华你们的神赐你们安息, 他必把这地赐给你们. ’

1:14 Your wives, your little children, and your livestock, they will remain in the land that Moses gave to you beyond the Jordan. All of the best fighting men will cross armed in front of your families; they will help you
你们的妻子,孩子和牲畜, 都可以留在约旦河东边,摩西赐给你们的地上; 但你们所有英勇的战士, 都要拿起武器, 在你们的兄弟前面过河去, 帮助他们;

1:15 until Yahweh gives rest to your families as well as to you. They will take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving to them. Then you will return to your own land and take possession of it, the land that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan to the east.”
等到耶和华使你们的兄弟可以和你们一样安居, 同样得着耶和华你们的神要赐给他们作产业的地, 你们才可以回到你们所得的地, 以它作你们的产业, 就是耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东边日出之地赐给你们的地方. ”

1:16 And they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you will send us we will go.
他们回答约书亚, 说: “你吩咐我们的一切, 我们都必遵行; 无论你差派我们到哪里去, 我们都一定去.

1:17 Just as we obeyed Moses, so will we obey you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
我们从前怎样凡事听从摩西, 现在也必照样听从你; 唯愿耶和华你的神与你同在, 像与摩西同在一样.

1:18 Whoever rebels against your orders and does not obey your words according to what you commanded us will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
无论谁违背你的话, 不听从你吩咐他的一切命令, 那人必要处死. 你只管坚强勇敢. ”

Joshua - Chapter 2

2:1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two men from Acacia Grove as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and spent the night there.
于是, 嫩的儿子约书亚从什亭秘密地差派两个探子, 对他们说: “你们去窥探那地和耶利哥. ”二人去了, 来到一个名叫喇合的妓女家中, 就在那里住宿.

2:2 The king of Jericho was told, “Look, some men from the Israelites have come here tonight to search out the land.”
有人向耶利哥王报告: “今夜从以色列人那里有人进来, 要窥探这地. ”

2:3 And the king of Jericho sent for Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who came to you, the ones who have entered your house, for they have come to search out the whole land.”
耶利哥王派人到喇合那里, 说: “把那些来到你这里, 进了你家中的人带出来, 因为他们来是要窥探全地的. ”

2:4 But the woman took the two men and hid them. And she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
但那女人已把那两个人藏起来, 还这样回答王: “不错, 那些人到过我这里来, 但是, 我不知道他们是从哪里来的.

2:5 And when it was time to shut the gate for the night, the men left, and I do not know where they went. Chase after them quickly, for you may catch up to them.”
天黑,城门快要关的时候, 那些人出去了; 我不知道他们到哪里去. 你们快去追赶, 必可以追上他们. ”

2:6 (But she had taken them to the roof and had hidden them in the stalks of flax that she had spread out on the roof.)
其实她领他们上了屋顶, 把他们藏在堆放在屋顶的麻秸里面.

2:7 So the men chased after them on the way to the Jordan at the fords; and they shut the gate behind the pursuers that had gone out after them.
那些人就沿着往约旦河的路上追赶他们, 直到渡口; 追赶的人一出城, 城门就关上了.

2:8 Before they went to sleep, she came up to them on the roof
两个探子还没有躺下睡觉, 那女人就上屋顶到他们那里去,

2:9 and said to the men, “I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away in fear because of your presence.
对他们二人说: “我知道耶和华已经把这地赐给你们了, 你们使我们十分害怕, 这地所有的居民都在你们面前胆战心惊.

2:10 For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you went out from Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
因为我们听见你们从埃及出来的时候, 耶和华怎样使红海的水在你们面前干了, 以及你们怎样对待约旦河东亚摩利人的两个王西宏和噩, 把他们完全消灭.

2:11 We heard this, and our hearts melted, and no courage was left in anyone because of your presence. For Yahweh your God is God in the heavens above and on the earth below.
我们听见了, 就都心里惊怕; 没有一人再有勇气在你们面前站立; 因为耶和华你们的神是天上,也是地上的神.

2:12 So then please swear to me by Yahweh, because I have shown loyalty to you, and you will also show loyalty to my family. You must give me a sign of good faith,
现在求你们指着耶和华向我起誓: 我既然恩待了你们, 你们也要恩待我的父家, 并且给我一个确实的凭据,

2:13 and you will spare my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that belongs to them; you will deliver our lives from death.”
放过我的父母,兄弟姊妹和他们所有的一切, 救我们的命不致死亡. ”

2:14 And the men said to her, “Our lives for yours. If you do not report this business of ours, we will show you loyalty and faithfulness when Yahweh gives us the land.”
两个探子就对她说: “如果你不泄漏我们这次行动, 我们愿以性命作你们的保证; 耶和华把这地赐给我们的时候, 我们必定以慈爱和诚实待你们. ”

2:15 Then she lowered them with a rope through the window, as her house was on the outer side of the wall, and she was residing in the wall.
于是, 那女人用绳子把二人从窗户缒下去, 因为她的房屋是在城墙上, 她就住在城墙上.

2:16 And she said to them, “Go to the mountain, so that the pursuers will not find you, and hide yourselves there three days until the pursuers return, and afterward you may go on your way.”
她对他们二人说: “你们要到山上去, 免得追赶的人遇上你们; 你们要在那里躲藏三天, 等追赶的人回城, 然后你们才可以走你们的路. ”

2:17 The men said to her, “We will be released from this oath of yours that you made us swear.
他们二人对她说: “如果你不遵照我们的话行, 你叫我们起的誓就与我们无关了.

2:18 When we come to the land, you must tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you must gather your father and mother, and your brothers, and your whole family to your house.
你要留意, 我们再到这地方的时候, 你要把这条朱红色线系在你缒我们下去的窗户上; 你也要把你的父母,兄弟和你父的全家, 都聚集在你的屋里.

2:19 If anyone goes outside the doors of your house, they will be responsible for their own death, and we will be innocent. Anyone who will be with you in the house, we will be responsible for their death if a hand is laid on them.
任何人走出你家门, 到外面去的, 他的血就必归到他自己的头上, 与我们无关; 任何人同你在屋里的, 如果有人下手加害他, 他的血就归到我们头上.

2:20 But if you report this business of ours, we will be released from your oath that you made us swear.”
如果你泄漏了我们这次的行动, 那么, 你叫我们起的誓就与我们无关了. ”

2:21 And she said, “According to your word it will be.” Then she sent them away, and they went, and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
那女人回答: “照你们的话, 就这样吧. ”于是打发他们二人走了. 他们走了以后, 她就把朱红色线系在窗户上.

2:22 They departed and came to the mountain, and they stayed there three days until the pursuers returned. The pursuers searched all along the way but did not find them.
二人离去, 上到山上, 在那里住了三天, 等追赶的人回城去了; 追赶的人一路搜寻他们, 却找不着.

2:23 The two men returned and went down from the mountain, and they crossed over and came to Joshua son of Nun, and they told him everything that happened to them.
二人于是下山回去, 过了约旦河, 回到嫩的儿子约书亚那里, 把他们遭遇的一切事向他报告.

2:24 They said to Joshua, “Surely Yahweh has given all the land into our hand; also, all the inhabitants of the land melt away in fear because of our presence.”
他们又对约书亚说: “耶和华真的把那地全交在我们手里了; 那地所有的居民都在我们面前胆战心惊. ”

Joshua - Chapter 3

3:1 Joshua rose early in the morning, and they set out from Acacia Grove. And they came up to the Jordan, he and all the Israelites, and they spent the night there before they crossed over.
约书亚清早起来, 和全体以色列人从什亭出发, 来到约旦河, 在那里住宿, 等候过河.

3:2 At the end of the three days the officers passed through the midst of the camp,
过了三天, 官长走遍营中,

3:3 and they commanded the people: “When you see the Levitical priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God you must set out from your place and go after it.
吩咐人民说: “你们看见耶和华你们的神的约柜, 又看见抬约柜的利未支派的祭司的时候, 就要从你们所住的地方出发, 跟在约柜后面走.

3:4 But there will be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits in measurement. Do not come near it, so that you may know the way that you must go, for you have not passed on this way before.”
只是你们和约柜之间应有一段距离, 相隔约一公里, 不可走近约柜, 好使你们知道你们应走的路, 因为这条路你们以前没有走过. ”

3:5 And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, because tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders in your midst.”
约书亚对人民说: “你们要自洁, 因为明天耶和华要在你们中间行奇事. ”

3:6 And Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people.” And they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.
约书亚又吩咐祭司说: “你们要抬起约柜, 在人民前面过河去. ”于是他们抬起约柜, 走在人民的前面.

3:7 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I will begin exalting you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that I was with Moses, and I will be with you.
耶和华对约书亚说: “今天起, 我要使你在以色列众人眼中成为尊大, 这样他们就知道我怎样与摩西同在, 也必照样与你同在.

3:8 You will command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘At the moment that you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you will stand still in the Jordan.’ ”
你要吩咐抬着约柜的祭司说: ‘你们到了约旦河水边的时候, 要站在约旦河中. ’”

3:9 And Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here, and hear the words of Yahweh your God.”
约书亚对以色列人说: “你们走近这里来, 聆听耶和华你们的神的话.

3:10 Joshua said, “By this you will know that the living God is in your midst, and he will certainly drive out the Canaanites from before you, and the Hittites, Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
约书亚说: “看哪, 全地之主的约柜必在你们前面过约旦河, 你们因此就知道永活的神是在你们中间, 他必把迦南人,赫人,希未人,比利洗人,革迦撒人,亚摩利人和耶布斯人, 从你们面前驱逐出去.

3:11 Look! The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is about to cross over ahead of you into the Jordan.
约书亚说: “看哪, 全地之主的约柜必在你们前面过约旦河, 你们因此就知道永活的神是在你们中间, 他必把迦南人,赫人,希未人,比利洗人,革迦撒人,亚摩利人和耶布斯人, 从你们面前驱逐出去.

3:12 So then, take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
现在你们要从以色列众支派中选十二个人, 每支派一人.

3:13 When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off upstream, and they will stand still in one heap.
抬全地之主耶和华约柜的祭司的脚掌一踏进约旦河水里, 约旦河的水必被截断, 那从上游流下来的水必立起成垒. ”

3:14 And it happened, when the people set out from their tents to cross over the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant were ahead of the people.
人民离开帐棚出发, 要过约旦河的时候, 抬约柜的祭司在人民的前面.

3:15 When those carrying the ark came up to the Jordan, and the priests carrying the ark dipped their feet in the edge of the water (the Jordan was flowing over its banks during all the days of harvest),
抬约柜的祭司来到约旦河, 他们的脚碰到水边的时候(原来约旦河水在收割的日子, 常是涨过两岸的),

3:16 the waters flowing down from above stood still; they stood up in one heap very far from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, while the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
水就停住了, 那从上游流下来的水立起成垒, 在很远的地方, 就是在撒拉但旁边的亚当城那里停住; 那往下流入亚拉巴海, 就是盐海的水完全被截断; 于是人民就在耶利哥的对面过了河.

3:17 And the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firmly on the dry land in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation finished crossing the Jordan.
抬耶和华约柜的祭司在约旦河中间的干地上站住, 等以色列众人都在干地上走过去, 直到全国的人都完全走过了约旦河为止.

Joshua - Chapter 4

4:1 After all the nation finished crossing the Jordan, Yahweh said to Joshua,
全国的人都完全过了约旦河以后, 耶和华就吩咐约书亚说:

4:2 “Take twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,
“你要从人民中选十二个人, 每支派一人,

4:3 and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests’ feet stood firmly, and bring them over with you, and set them up in the place where you will camp tonight.’ ”
吩咐他们说: ‘你们要从这里, 就是约旦河中间, 祭司的脚所站的地方, 取十二块石头, 把它们带过来, 放在你们今夜要住宿的地方. ’”

4:4 So Joshua summoned the twelve men whom he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe.
于是, 约书亚把他从以色列人中挑选的十二个人, 每支派一人, 都召了来.

4:5 And Joshua said to them, “Cross over before the ark of Yahweh your God to the middle of the Jordan, and each one of you lift up a stone on your shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites,
约书亚对他们说: “你们走到约旦河中间, 在耶和华你们的神的约柜前面, 按着以色列十二支派的数目, 每人拿起一块石头, 扛在自己的肩上;

4:6 so that this may be a reminder among you. When your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
这可以在你们中间作记号; 如果日后你们的子孙问你们, 说: ‘这些石头对你们有什么意思? ’

4:7 you will say to them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones will be as a memorial for the Israelites for eternity.”
你们就可以告诉他们: ‘这是因为约旦河的水在耶和华的约柜前被截断了; 约柜过约旦河的时候, 约旦河的水被截断了. 所以这些石头要给以色列人作记念, 直到永远. ’”

4:8 Thus the Israelites did as Joshua commanded. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan as Yahweh told Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, and they carried them over with them to the camp, and they put them there.
以色列人就照着约书亚吩咐的行了; 他们照着耶和华吩咐约书亚的, 按着以色列十二支派的数目, 从约旦河中间取了十二块石头, 把它们带过去, 到他们住宿的地方, 就放在那里.

4:9 Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests carrying the ark of the covenant stood, and they are there to this day.
约书亚又在约旦河中间, 在抬约柜的祭司的脚所站的地方, 竖立十二块石头; 那些石头到今日还在那里.

4:10 The priests carrying the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything that Yahweh commanded Joshua to tell the people was finished, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua. And the people hastily crossed over.
抬约柜的祭司站在约旦河中间, 直到耶和华吩咐约书亚告诉人民的一切事, 就是照着摩西吩咐约书亚的一切事, 都办完了, 人民就急忙过去了.

4:11 And it happened, when all the people had finished crossing, the ark of Yahweh and the priests crossed over in front of the people.
全体人民都过了河以后, 耶和华的约柜和祭司才在人民的面前过去.

4:12 The children of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the Israelites, as Moses told them.
流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人, 都照着摩西吩咐他们的, 拿起武器, 在以色列人前面过河去了.

4:13 About forty thousand armed for fighting crossed over before the presence of Yahweh to the plains of Jericho for battle.
他们约有四万人, 都装备好, 预备打仗, 在耶和华面前走过去, 来到耶利哥的平原, 等候作战.

4:14 On that day Yahweh exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they respected him as they respected Moses all the days of his life.
那一天耶和华使约书亚在以色列众人眼中成为尊大; 在他一生的日子, 人民敬畏他, 好像敬畏摩西一样.

4:15 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, saying,
耶和华吩咐约书亚说:

4:16 “Command the priests carrying the ark of the testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
“吩咐抬约柜的祭司从约旦河上来. ”

4:17 So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, “Come up from the Jordan.”
于是约书亚吩咐祭司说: “你们从约旦河上来. ”

4:18 And it happened that when the priests carrying the ark came up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet touched dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and flowed over all its banks as before.
抬耶和华约柜的祭司从约旦河中间上来的时候, 祭司的脚掌一提起来踏在干地上, 约旦河的水就流回原处, 像以前一样涨过两岸.

4:19 And the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho.
正月初十, 人民从约旦河上来以后, 就在吉甲, 在耶利哥的东边安营.

4:20 And those twelve stones that they took from the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
约书亚把他们从约旦河取来的那十二块石头, 竖立在吉甲.

4:21 And he said to the Israelites, “When your children ask in the future their parents, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
约书亚对以色列人说: “如果日后你们的子孙问他们的父亲说: ‘这些石头是什么意思? ’

4:22 you will let your children know by saying, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.’
那时, 你们就要告诉你们的子孙, 说: ‘以色列人曾经在干地上走过了这约旦河. ’

4:23 For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you, until you had crossed, just as Yahweh your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up before us until we had crossed over,
因为耶和华你们的神在你们面前使约旦河的水干了, 直到你们都过了河, 好像耶和华你们的神从前对红海所行的, 在我们面前使红海干了, 直到我们都过了河一样;

4:24 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of Yahweh is strong, so that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.”
好使地上万民都认识耶和华的手, 是有能力的手, 也要使你们永远敬畏耶和华你们的神. ”

Joshua - Chapter 5

5:1 And it happened, when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea heard that Yahweh dried up the waters of the Jordan in front of the Israelites until they crossed over, their hearts melted, and there was no courage left in them because of the presence of the Israelites.
在约旦河西, 亚摩利人的众王和靠近海边迦南人的众王, 听见耶和华怎样使约旦河的水在以色列人面前干了, 直到他们都过河去, 他们都心里惊怕, 因以色列人的缘故, 勇气全失.

5:2 At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make for yourself knives of flint, and circumcise the Israelites a second time.”
那时, 耶和华对约书亚说: “你要制造火石刀, 第二次给以色列人行割礼. ”

5:3 So Joshua made knives of flint, and he circumcised the Israelites at the hill of the foreskins.
约书亚就制造了火石刀, 在包皮山那里给以色列人行了割礼.

5:4 This is the reason why Joshua circumcised all the people: all the males who went out from Egypt, all the warriors, died in the wilderness as they went out from Egypt on the journey.
约书亚给以色列人行割礼的原因是这样: 所有从埃及出来的人民, 就是所有能作战的男丁, 出埃及以后, 都死在旷野的路上.

5:5 For all the people who left were circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness on the journey after they left from Egypt were not circumcised.
因为所有从埃及出来的人民都受过割礼; 唯有从埃及出来以后, 所有在旷野的路上出生的人民, 都没有受过割礼.

5:6 For forty years the Israelites traveled in the wilderness until all the nation, the warriors that left Egypt, perished, because they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh. To them Yahweh swore that they would not see the land that he swore to their ancestors to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
以色列人在旷野走了四十年, 直到全国的人, 就是从埃及出来能作战的男丁, 都灭尽了, 因为他们不听耶和华的话; 耶和华曾经向他们起誓, 必不容许他们看见耶和华向他们列祖起誓要赐给我们的地, 就是流奶与蜜的地.

5:7 And it was their children whom he raised in their place that Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the journey.
他们的子孙, 就是耶和华兴起来代替他们的, 约书亚给他们行了割礼; 这些人是未受割礼的人, 因为他们在路上没有受过割礼.

5:8 And it happened, when all the nation had finished circumcising, they remained where they were in the camp until they recovered.
全国的人受了割礼之后, 都住在营中自己的地方, 直到痊愈.

5:9 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” Therefore, the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.
耶和华对约书亚说: “我今日把埃及的耻辱从你们身上辊去了. ”因此, 那地方名叫吉甲(“吉甲”意即“辊”), 直到今日.

5:10 And the Israelites camped at Gilgal, and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, on the plains of Jericho.
以色列人在吉甲安营; 正月十四日晚上, 他们在耶利哥的平原守逾越节.

5:11 On the next day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate from the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and roasted corn.
逾越节后次日, 他们吃了那地的出产; 就在那一天, 吃了无酵饼和烘的谷物.

5:12 And the manna ceased the day after, when they started eating the produce of the land, and there was no longer manna for the Israelites. They ate from the crop of the land of Canaan in that year.
他们吃了那地的出产之后, 第二天吗哪就停止降下; 以色列人不再有吗哪了; 那一年他们却吃迦南地的出产.

5:13 And it happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up, and he saw a man standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said, “Are you with us, or with our adversaries?”
约书亚走近耶利哥的时候, 抬头观看, 看见一个人站在他对面, 手里拿着拔出来的刀. 约书亚走到他那里, 对他说: “你是我们的人, 还是我们的仇敌呢? ”

5:14 And he said, “Neither. I have come now as the commander of Yahweh’s army.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and he bowed down and said to him, “What is my lord commanding his servant?”
那人回答: “不是的; 我现在来是作耶和华军队的元帅. ”约书亚就脸伏在地, 向他下拜, 对他说: “我主有什么事要吩咐仆人呢? ”

5:15 The commander of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
耶和华军队的元帅对约书亚说: “把你脚上的鞋脱下来, 因为你站的地方是圣地. ”约书亚就照着行了.

Joshua - Chapter 6

6:1 Now Jericho was shut up inside and out because of the presence of the Israelites; no one was going out or coming in.
耶利哥的城门因以色列人的缘故, 就紧紧地关闭, 没有人出入.

6:2 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Look, I am giving Jericho into your hand, its king and the soldiers of the army.
耶和华对约书亚说: “看, 我已经把耶利哥和耶利哥的王, 以及英勇的战士, 都交在你的手中了.

6:3 You will march around the city, all the warriors circling the city once; you will do so for six days.
你们所有能作战的男丁要围绕这城, 一天围绕一次, 六天都要这样行;

6:4 And seven priests will bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day you will march around the city seven times, and the priests will blow on the trumpets.
并派七个祭司拿着七个羊角, 走在约柜的前面; 到第七天, 你们要绕城七次, 祭司也要吹角.

6:5 And when they blow long on the horn of the ram, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people will shout with a great war cry, and the wall of the city will fall flat, and the people will charge, each one straight ahead.”
当羊角吹起长号, 你们听见角声的时候, 全体人民要大声呼喊, 那时城墙就必塌陷; 你们各人要向前直冲. ”

6:6 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry the trumpets of the rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh.”
于是嫩的儿子约书亚把祭司召了来, 对他们说: “你们要抬起约柜; 并派七个祭司拿着七个羊角, 走在耶和华约柜的前面. ”

6:7 And he said to the people, “Go forward and march around the city, and let the armed men pass before the ark of Yahweh.
他又对人民说: “你们前去绕城吧, 拿武器的人要走在耶和华约柜的前面. ”

6:8 And when Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the presence of Yahweh went forward and they blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed behind them.
约书亚吩咐人民以后, 七个祭司拿着七个羊角, 走在耶和华的前面, 并且吹角, 耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟着走.

6:9 And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while they were blowing the trumpets.
拿武器的人走在吹角的祭司前面, 在约柜后面也有防卫的队伍跟着走, 祭司一面走, 一面吹角.

6:10 But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You will not shout, and you will not let your voice be heard; a word will not go out from your mouth until the day I say to you ‘Shout!’ Then you will shout.”
约书亚吩咐人民说: “你们不可呼喊, 不可让人听见你们的声音, 连一句话也不可出口, 等到我吩咐你们‘呼喊’的那天, 你们才可以呼喊. ”

6:11 And the ark of Yahweh went around the city, circling once, and they came into the camp and spent the night in the camp.
这样, 耶和华的约柜绕城而行, 围绕了一次, 众人就回到营中, 在营里住宿.

6:12 Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yahweh.
约书亚清早起来, 祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜.

6:13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of the rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and they blew on the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of Yahweh, while the trumpets blew continually.
拿着七个羊角的七位祭司, 走在耶和华的约柜前面; 一面走, 一面吹角; 拿武器的人走在他们前面, 在耶和华的约柜后面也有防卫的队伍跟着走; 祭司一面走, 一面吹角.

6:14 And they marched around the city once on the second day, and they returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
第二日, 众人又绕城一次, 然后回到营里去; 六日他们都是这样行.

6:15 Then on the seventh day they rose early at dawn, and they marched around the city in this manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.
到了第七日, 清早黎明的时候, 他们起来, 以同样的方式绕城七次; 只有这一日, 他们绕城七次.

6:16 And at the seventh time the priests blew on the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people, “Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city.
到了第七次, 祭司吹角的时候, 约书亚就对人民说: “你们呼喊吧, 因为耶和华已经把这城赐给你们了.

6:17 The city and all that is in it will be devoted to Yahweh; only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in the house will live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
这城要完全毁灭, 城和城中的一切都归耶和华; 只有妓女喇合, 和所有与她在家中的都可以存活, 因为她收藏了我们派去的使者.

6:18 As for you, keep away from the things devoted to destruction so that you do not take them and bring about your own destruction, making the camp of Israel an object for destruction, bringing trouble upon it.
不过你们要谨慎, 不可取那当毁灭的物, 恐怕你们贪心, 取了那当毁灭的物, 就使以色列营成为当毁灭的, 使以色列营遭遇灾祸.

6:19 But all of the silver and gold, and the items of bronze and iron, are holy to Yahweh, and they must go to Yahweh’s treasury.”
可是, 所有的金银和铜铁的器皿, 都要归耶和华为圣, 存入耶和华的库房中. ”

6:20 So the people shouted, and they blew on the trumpets. And when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, they raised a great shout, and the wall fell flat. The people charged, each one straight ahead into the city, and they captured it.
于是人民呼喊, 祭司也吹角. 人民听见角声的时候, 就大声呼喊, 城墙就塌陷了; 于是, 人民冲入城中, 人人向前, 把城攻取.

6:21 And they utterly destroyed by the edge of the sword all who were in the city, both men and women, young and old, ox, sheep, and donkey.
他们把城中的一切, 无论男女老幼,牛羊和驴, 都用刀杀尽.

6:22 Then Joshua said to the two men who spied on the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her, just as you swore to her.”
约书亚对窥探那地的两个人说: “你们进那妓女的家里去, 照着你们向她所起的誓, 把那女人和她所有的一切, 都从家里带出来. ”

6:23 So the young men who were spies went and brought Rahab and her father and mother, her brothers, and all who were with her. And they brought all her family out and set them outside the camp of Israel.
那两个年轻密探就进去, 把喇合和她的父母,兄弟,她所有的一切, 以及她所有的亲属, 都领出来, 安置在以色列的营外.

6:24 And they burned the city and all that was in it with fire; they put only the silver and gold, and the items of copper and iron, into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
众人把城和城中的一切都用火烧了; 只有金银和铜铁的器皿都放入耶和华圣所的库房里.

6:25 But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her family and all who were with her, and she has lived in the midst of Israel until this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
约书亚却放过妓女喇合和她的父家, 以及她所有的一切; 她住在以色列中, 直到今日, 因为她收藏了约书亚派去窥探耶利哥的使者.

6:26 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, “Cursed is anyone before Yahweh who gets up and builds Jericho, this city. At the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
那时, 约书亚要人民起誓, 说: “起来重建这耶利哥城的, 那人在耶和华面前是可咒可诅的; 他立地基的时候必丧长子; 他安城门的时候必失幼子. ”

6:27 So Yahweh was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.
耶和华与约书亚同在; 约书亚的名声传遍全地.

Joshua - Chapter 7

7:1 But the Israelites broke faith concerning the devoted things. Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took from the devoted things; and Yahweh’s anger was kindled against the Israelites.
以色列人在那当毁灭的物上犯了不忠实的罪; 因为犹大支派中, 谢拉的曾孙,撒底的孙子,迦米的儿子亚干, 取了当毁灭的物, 耶和华就向以色列人发怒.

7:2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven, east of Bethel, and he said to them, “Go up and spy out Ai.” And the men went up and spied out Ai.
那时, 约书亚从耶利哥派人到伯特利东边, 靠近伯．亚文的艾城去, 吩咐他们说: “你们上去窥探那地. ”那些人就上去, 窥探艾城.

7:3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up and attack Ai; only two or three thousand men should go up because they are few. Do not make all the people weary up there.”
他们回来, 对约书亚说: “不需要全体人民都上去; 只要大约二三千人就可以上去攻打艾城了; 不必劳动全体人民都上那里去, 因为那里的人很少. ”

7:4 So about three thousand from the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai.
于是人民中约有三千人上那里去, 但他们竟在艾城的人面前逃跑了.

7:5 The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them, and they chased them from the gate up to Shebarim and killed them on the slope. And the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
艾城的人击杀了他们约三十六人; 从城门前追赶他们, 一直追到示巴琳; 在山坡上把他们击溃; 人民的心就极其惊怕.

7:6 And Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the ground on his face before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
约书亚就撕裂自己的衣服, 和以色列人的长老, 在耶和华的约柜前, 一同俯伏在地, 直到晚上, 也把尘土撒在头上.

7:7 And Joshua said, “Ah, my Lord! Why did you bring this people across the Jordan to give us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us? If only we had been content and stayed beyond the Jordan.
约书亚说: “唉! 主耶和华啊, 你为什么领这人民过约旦河, 为要把我们交在亚摩利人的手中, 使我们灭亡呢? 我们宁愿住在约旦河那边倒好.

7:8 Please, my Lord! What can I say after Israel has fled from its enemies?
主啊! 以色列人既然在仇敌面前转身逃跑, 我还有什么可说的呢?

7:9 The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of this, and they will surround us and cut off our name from the land. What will you do, for your great name?”
迦南人和这地所有的居民听见了, 就必围困我们, 把我们的名字从这世上剪除, 那时你为你的大名要怎样行呢? ”

7:10 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
耶和华对约书亚说: “你起来, 为什么这样脸伏在地呢?

7:11 Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant that I commanded them. They have taken from the devoted things; they have stolen and acted deceitfully, and they have put them among their belongings.
以色列人犯了罪, 违背了我吩咐他们的约定, 因为他们取了那当毁灭的物, 他们偷窃, 并且说谎, 又把那当毁灭的物放在自己的物件中.

7:12 The Israelites were unable to stand before their enemies; they fled from their enemies because they have become a thing devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
所以, 以色列人在他们的仇敌面前站立不住, 在他们的仇敌面前转身逃跑, 因为他们成了当毁灭的. 如果你们不把那当毁灭的物从你们中间除掉, 我就必不再与你们同在了.

7:13 Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow. Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You will be unable to stand before you enemies until you remove the devoted things from your midst.”
你起来, 要人民自洁, 对他们说: ‘你们要自洁, 预备明天; 因为耶和华以色列的神这样说: 以色列啊! 你们中间有那当毁灭的物; 除非你们把那当毁灭的物从你们中间除去, 你们在仇敌的面前就不能站立得住.

7:14 In the morning you will come forward, tribe by tribe, and the tribe that Yahweh will select by lot will come forward by clans, and the clan that Yahweh selects by lot will come forward by families, and the family that Yahweh selects by lot will come forward one by one.
到了早晨, 你们要按着支派前来, 耶和华抽签抽中的支派, 要按着宗族前来; 耶和华抽签抽中的宗族, 要按着家庭前来; 耶和华抽签抽中的家庭, 男丁要一个一个前来.

7:15 The one caught with the devoted things will be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he did a disgraceful thing in Israel.” ’ ”
如果那藏有当毁灭的物的人被抽签抽中了, 他和他所有的一切都要用火焚烧; 因为他违背了耶和华的约, 又因为他在以色列中作了愚昧的事. ’”

7:16 So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought forward Israel, tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected by lot.
约书亚清早起来, 要以色列人按着支派前来; 结果, 犹大支派被抽签抽中了;

7:17 And he brought forward the clans of Judah and selected the clan of the Zerahites by lot. Then he brought forward the clan of the Zerahites, one by one, and Zabdi was selected by lot.
他要犹大宗族前来, 结果, 谢拉的家族被抽签抽中了; 他要谢拉家族的男丁一个一个前来, 结果, 撒底被抽签抽中了;

7:18 He brought forward his family, one by one, and Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected by lot.
他要撒底家中的男丁一个一个前来, 结果, 亚干被抽签抽中了, 亚干是迦米的儿子,撒底的孙子,谢拉的曾孙, 是属于犹大支派的.

7:19 And Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please, give glory to Yahweh the God of Israel, and give him a doxology in court. Tell me, please, what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
约书亚对亚干说: “我儿, 我劝你把荣耀归给耶和华以色列的神, 向他认罪, 告诉我你作了什么事, 不可向我隐瞒. ”

7:20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh the God of Israel, and this is what I did:
亚干回答约书亚, 说: “我实在得罪了耶和华以色列的神; 我作过的事是这样的.

7:21 I saw among the spoil a beautiful robe from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and one bar of gold that weighed fifty shekels; I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, and the silver is under it.”
我在战利品中, 看见了一件美丽的示拿衣服,二千二百八十克银子, 和一条重五百七十克的金条; 我因贪爱这些物件, 就把它们拿去了; 现在埋藏在我帐棚的地里, 银子在底下. ”

7:22 Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there they were, hidden in his tent, and the silver was under it.
约书亚就派人跑到亚干的帐棚里, 果然见到东西埋藏在那里, 银子在底下.

7:23 And they took them from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. And they spread them out before the presence of Yahweh.
他们就把东西从帐棚中拿出来, 带到约书亚和以色列人那里, 摆在耶和华面前.

7:24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his cattle and donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and everything that was his, and they brought them to the valley of Achor.
约书亚和全体以色列人一起把谢拉的曾孙亚干和那银子,那件衣服,那金条, 以及亚干的儿女,牛,驴,羊,帐棚和他所有的一切, 都带上亚割谷去.

7:25 And Joshua said, “Why did you bring us trouble? Yahweh will bring you trouble on this day.” And all Israel stoned them with stones; and they burned them with fire after they stoned them with stones.
约书亚说: “你为什么给我们招惹灾祸呢? 今天耶和华必使你遭受灾祸. ”于是全体以色列人用石头把他打死. 他们用石头打死他们以后, 就把一切用火烧了.

7:26 Then they placed on top of him a great pile of stones that remains to this day. And Yahweh turned from his burning anger, and thus the name of that place to this day is called the valley of Achor.
众人又在亚干身上堆起了一大堆石头, 这堆石头一直存到今日; 于是耶和华就回心转意, 不发烈怒. 因此那地方名叫亚割谷, 直到今日.

Joshua - Chapter 8

8:1 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you and go up immediately to Ai. Look, I am giving into your hand the king of Ai, his city, and his land.
耶和华对约书亚说: “你不要惧怕, 也不要惊慌, 你只管带领所有能作战的人, 起来上艾城去; 你看, 我已经把艾城的王和他的人民,城市,土地都交在你手里了.

8:2 You will do to Ai and its king that which you did to Jericho and its king; you may take only its spoils and livestock as booty for yourself. Set for yourself an ambush against the city from behind it.”
你怎样对待耶利哥和耶利哥的王, 也要照样对待艾城和艾城的王; 只是城中的战利品和牲畜, 你们可以据为己有; 你要在城后面设下攻城的伏兵. ”

8:3 So Joshua and all the fighting men went up immediately to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand of the best fighting men and sent them by night.
于是, 约书亚和所有能作战的人都起来上艾城去; 约书亚选了三万英勇的战士, 漏夜派他们出去,

8:4 And he commanded them, saying, “Look, you are to lay an ambush against the city from behind. Do not go very far from the city and be ready.
吩咐他们说: “你们注意, 要在城后面埋伏攻城; 不可离城太远, 人人都要作好准备.

8:5 Then I and all of the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they go out to meet us as before, we will flee from them.
我和所有与我一起的人, 要向城推进. 城里的人像前一次出来攻击我们的时候, 我们就在他们面前逃跑;

8:6 They will come out after us until we draw them away from the city, because they will think, ‘They are fleeing from us as before.’ So we will flee from them.
他们必定出来追赶我们, 我们就把他们引出城来, 因为他们必定说: ‘这些人像前一次一样在我们面前逃跑了. ’所以我们要在他们面前逃跑.

8:7 Then you will rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city, for Yahweh your God will give it into your hand.
那时你们就要从埋伏的地方起来, 占领那城, 因为耶和华你们的神必把城交在你们的手里.

8:8 And when you capture the city you will set it on fire as Yahweh commanded. Look, I have commanded you.”
你们占领了城以后, 就要放火烧城; 要照着耶和华的话行事; 你们要谨慎, 我已经吩咐你们了. ”

8:9 So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the place of the ambush, and they sat between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai; but Joshua spent the night with the people.
约书亚差派他们去了, 他们就上到埋伏的地方去, 住在伯特利和艾城的中间, 就是在艾城的西边. 那一夜, 约书亚却在人民中间住宿.

8:10 Joshua rose early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people of Ai.
约书亚清早起来, 召集人民上艾城去, 他和以色列的长老走在人民的前面.

8:11 All the fighting men who were with him went up and drew near before the city and camped north of Ai; there was a valley between him and Ai.
所有与他在一起的战士都上去, 迫近艾城, 在城的北面安营; 在约书亚和艾城中间有一个山谷,

8:12 And he took about five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.
约书亚挑了大约五千人, 要他们埋伏在伯特利和艾城中间, 就是艾城的西面.

8:13 So they stationed the forces; all the army was north of the city while the rear guard was west. But Joshua went that night to the middle of the valley.
于是他们把众民, 就是在城北的全军和在城西的伏兵都布置好了. 那一夜, 约书亚走进了山谷之中.

8:14 When the king of Ai saw this, the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out to meet Israel for battle—he and all his army—to the meeting place before the Arabah. He did not know that there was an ambush for him behind the city.
艾城的王看见了这情形, 就和艾城的人急忙在清早起来, 按着所定的时候出到亚拉巴, 要与以色列人交战; 王却不知道在城后面有伏兵要攻击他.

8:15 Then Joshua and all Israel acted like they were beaten before them, and they fled in the direction of the wilderness.
约书亚和以色列人在他们面前装败, 沿着通往旷野的路逃跑.

8:16 All of the people who were in the city were called to pursue after them. As they pursued after Joshua, they were drawn away from the city.
城里的众民都被召集, 去追赶他们; 艾城的人追赶约书亚的时候, 就都被诱离城.

8:17 Not a man remained in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel; they left the city open and pursued after Israel.
艾城和伯特利城没有留下一个人不出来追赶以色列人; 他们撇下了敞开的城门, 去追赶以色列人.

8:18 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stretch out the sword that is in your hand to Ai, because I will give it into your hand.” And Joshua stretched out the sword that was in his hand to the city.
耶和华对约书亚说: “你向着艾城伸出你手中的短枪, 因为我要把城交在你手里. ”约书亚就向着艾城伸出他手里的短枪.

8:19 The moment he stretched out his hand, those in the ambush stood up quickly from their place and ran. And they went into the city and captured it, quickly setting the city ablaze with fire.
他一伸手, 伏兵就从埋伏的地方急忙起来, 冲进城去, 把城夺取, 并连忙放火烧城.

8:20 Then the men of Ai looked behind them, and they saw smoke from the city rising to the sky; they had no power to flee this way or that, and the people fleeing the wilderness turned around to the pursuers.
艾城的人转身观看, 看见城里浓烟冲天, 就全身乏力, 不能逃跑; 往旷野逃跑的以色列人就转过来攻击追赶他们的人.

8:21 And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had captured the city and that the smoke of the city was rising; they returned and struck down the men of Ai.
约书亚和以色列人看见伏兵已经夺取了城, 又看见城中浓烟上升, 就转回, 击杀艾城的人.

8:22 Then the others from the city came out to meet them, and they found themselves surrounded by Israel, some on one side, and others on the other side. And they struck them down until no survivor or fugitive was left.
伏兵也出城攻击艾城的人; 艾城的人就被困在以色列人中间, 前后受敌; 于是以色列人把他们击杀, 没有留下一个, 也没有一个逃脱.

8:23 But they captured the king of Ai alive, and they brought him to Joshua.
他们活捉了艾城的王, 把他解到约书亚那里.

8:24 When Israel finished slaughtering all the inhabitants of Ai in the open field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and when all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they all had perished, all Israel returned to Ai and attacked it with the edge of the sword.
以色列人在田间,在旷野, 杀尽了所有追赶他们的艾城的居民, 艾城的人全部倒在刀下, 直到完全消灭; 接着, 以色列众人回到艾城, 用刀击杀了城中的人.

8:25 All the people that fell on that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand—all the inhabitants of Ai.
那一天被杀的人, 连男带女, 共有一万二千人, 就是艾城所有的人.

8:26 For Joshua did not draw back his hand that was stretched out with the sword until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
约书亚没有收回伸出短枪的手, 直到把艾城的居民都消灭为止.

8:27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty for themselves, according to the word of Yahweh that Joshua commanded.
只有那城里的牲畜和战利品, 以色列人照着耶和华吩咐约书亚的话, 都据为己有.

8:28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it an everlasting heap of rubbish, a desolate place until this day.
约书亚烧了艾城, 使城永远成为废堆, 一片荒凉, 直到今日.

8:29 The king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the time of evening, and as the sun went down Joshua commanded them, and they brought down his dead body from the tree. Then they threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and they raised over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.
他又把艾城的王悬在树上, 直到黄昏的时候; 日落的时候, 约书亚吩咐人把尸体从树上拿下来, 丢在城门口那里, 又在尸体上堆起了一大堆石头, 这堆石头一直存到今日.

8:30 Then Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal for Yahweh the God of Israel,
那时, 约书亚在以巴路山上, 为耶和华以色列的神筑了一座祭坛,

8:31 as Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded the Israelites, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses: “an altar of unhewn stones on which no one has wielded an iron implement.” And they offered burnt offerings on it and sacrificed fellowship offerings.
是照着耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐以色列人的, 照着摩西律法书上所写的, 用未经过铁器打凿的整块石块筑成的一座祭坛; 在这祭坛之上, 众人向耶和华献燔祭, 也献平安祭.

8:32 And there Joshua wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written, in the presence of the Israelites.
约书亚在那里, 当着以色列人面前, 把摩西所写的摩西律法抄写在石头上.

8:33 Then all Israel, foreigner as well as native, with the elders, officials, and judges stood on either side of the ark before the priests and the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim, and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses Yahweh’s servant had commanded before to bless the people of Israel.
全体以色列人和他们的长老,官长, 以及审判官, 都站在约柜的两旁, 在抬耶和华约柜的利未支派的祭司前面; 无论是寄居的, 或是本地人, 一半对着基利心山, 一半对着以巴路山; 正如耶和华的仆人摩西以前所吩咐的, 好为以色列民祝福.

8:34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the curses, according to all that was written in the scroll of the law.
然后, 约书亚宣读律法上一切祝福和咒诅的话, 全都照着律法书上所写的一切.

8:35 There was not a word from all that Moses commanded that Joshua did not read before the assembly of all Israel, and the women, the little children, and the traveling foreigners among them.
摩西吩咐的一切话, 约书亚在以色列全体会众和妇女,小孩, 以及在他们中间来往的寄居者面前, 没有一句不向他们宣读出来的.

Joshua - Chapter 9

9:1 Now when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the Shephelah, and on all the coast of the great sea toward Lebanon—the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites—heard of this,
在约旦河西, 住在山上,高原和对着黎巴嫩山大海沿岸所有的王, 就是赫人,亚摩利人,迦南人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人的王, 听见了这些事的时候,

9:2 they gathered themselves together to fight with one accord against Joshua and Israel.
就聚集起来, 同心协力地要与约书亚和以色列人交战.

9:3 But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua did to Jericho and Ai,
基遍的居民听见了约书亚向耶利哥和艾城所行的事,

9:4 and they acted on their part with cunning: they went and prepared provisions, and took worn-out sacks for their donkeys and old wineskins that were torn and mended.
就施诡计, 假冒使者而来, 把旧的布袋和破裂又修补过的旧皮酒袋驮在驴上,

9:5 The sandals on their feet were patched and old, their clothes were old, and their food was dry and crumbled.
脚上穿着补过的旧鞋, 身穿旧衣服, 所带的食物又干又碎.

9:6 And they went to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far land; so then make a covenant with us.”
他们去到吉甲营中约书亚那里, 对约书亚和以色列人说: “我们是从远地来的, 现在求你们和我们立约. ”

9:7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you are living among us; how can we make a covenant with you?”
以色列人对这些希未人说: “你们也许是这地的居民, 若是这样, 我们怎样和你们立约呢? ”

9:8 They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them, “Who are you, and from where do you come?”
他们对约书亚说: “我们是你的仆人. ”约书亚问他们: “你们是什么人? 是从哪里来的? ”

9:9 And they said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far land because of the name of Yahweh your God; we have heard of his reputation, of all that he did in Egypt,
他们回答约书亚: “你的仆人为了耶和华你神的名从很远的地方而来, 因为我们听见了他的名声和他在埃及所行的一切事,

9:10 and of all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan—to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan, who was in Ashtaroth.
以及他对约旦河东亚摩利人的两个王, 就是希实本王西宏和在亚斯他录的巴珊王噩, 所行的一切事.

9:11 So our elders said to us and all the inhabitants of our land, ‘Take in your hand provisions for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, “We are your servants; so then make a covenant with us.” ’
所以我们的长老和我们本国所有的居民对我们说: ‘你们手里要带着旅途用的干粮, 去迎见以色列人, 对他们说: 我们是你们的仆人, 现在求你们和我们立约. ’

9:12 This is our bread; it was hot when we took it from our houses as provisions on the day we set out to come to you. But now, look, it is dry and crumbled.
我们出门到你们这里来的时候, 从家里带出来作干粮的这饼还是热的; 看哪, 现在都又干又碎了.

9:13 These are the wineskins that we filled new, but look, they have burst; and these are our clothes and sandals that have worn out from the very long journey.”
这些皮酒袋, 我们盛酒的时候, 还是新的; 你看, 现在都破裂了. 我们这些衣服和鞋因路途遥远, 都穿旧了. ”

9:14 So the leaders took from their provisions, but they did not ask direction from Yahweh.
以色列人取了他们一些食物, 却没有求问耶和华的旨意.

9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and he made a covenant with them to allow them to live happily, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
于是约书亚与他们议和, 和他们立约, 容他们存活; 会众的首领也向他们起了誓.

9:16 And it happened that at the end of three days, after they made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and living among them.
以色列人和他们立约之后, 过了三天, 才听见他们是自己的近邻, 是住在这地的居民.

9:17 And the Israelites set out and went to their cities on the third day (their cities were Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim).
于是, 以色列人起程, 第三日就到了他们的城市; 他们的城市就是基遍,基非拉,比录,基列．耶琳.

9:18 But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahweh the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against their leaders.
以色列人没有击杀他们, 因为会众的首领曾经指着耶和华以色列的神向他们起了誓, 全体会众就都向首领发怨言.

9:19 But all the leaders of the congregation said, “We have sworn to them by Yahweh the God of Israel, and so we cannot touch them.
众首领对全体会众说: “我们曾经指着耶和华以色列的神向他们起了誓, 现在我们不能伤害他们.

9:20 This we will do to them: we will let them live so that wrath will not be on us because of the oath we swore to them.”
我们要这样待他们, 就是容他们存活, 免得神的忿怒因我们向他们所起的誓, 临到我们身上. ”

9:21 And the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” So they became woodcutters and water carriers for all the congregation, just as the leaders had said to them.
众首领又对会众说: “要让他们存活. ”于是他们就给全体会众作了劈柴打水的人, 这是按照众首领对他们的吩咐.

9:22 And Joshua summoned them and said, “Why have you deceived us saying, ‘We are very far from you’ when you are living among us?
约书亚把他们召了来, 质问他们: “你们为什么欺骗我们说: ‘我们离你们很远’, 其实你们却是住在这地的?

9:23 Therefore you are cursed; some of you will always be slaves as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
现在你们要受到咒诅, 你们中间必不断有人作奴仆, 为我神的圣所作劈柴打水的人. ”

9:24 And they answered Joshua and said, “Because it was told with certainty to your servants that Yahweh your God commanded Moses his servant to give to you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you, so we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and so we did this thing.
他们回答约书亚, 说: “因为你的仆人确实地听见, 耶和华你的神曾经吩咐他的仆人摩西, 要把这整片土地赐给你们, 并且要在你们面前把这地上所有的居民都消灭, 因此, 我们因你们的缘故, 很怕丧命, 才行了这事.

9:25 So then, look, we are in your hand; do with us whatever seems good and right in your eyes.”
现在, 你看, 我们都在你的手里, 你看怎样处置我们算为好,算为对, 就怎样行吧. ”

9:26 So he did this to them: he saved them from the hand of the Israelites, and they did not kill them.
约书亚就这样处置他们, 救了他们脱离以色列人的手, 以色列人就没有杀他们.

9:27 And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day, in the place that he should choose.
在那一天, 约书亚指派他们在耶和华选择的地方, 为会众和耶和华的祭坛作劈柴打水的人, 直到今日.

Joshua - Chapter 10

10:1 And it happened that when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua captured Ai and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he did to Ai and its king) and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,
耶路撒冷王亚多尼．洗德听见约书亚占领了艾城, 把城完全毁灭, 约书亚怎样对待耶利哥和耶利哥的王, 也照样对待艾城和艾城的王; 又听见基遍的居民已经与以色列人议和, 并可以住在这地,

10:2 he became very afraid because Gibeon was a very large city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty warriors.
他们就非常惧怕. 因为基遍是大城, 好像一座王城; 又因为基遍比艾城大, 城里所有的人都是勇士.

10:3 So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hohman king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
因此, 耶路撒冷王亚多尼．洗德派人到希伯仑王何咸,耶末王毗兰,拉吉王雅非亚和伊矶伦王底璧那里去, 对他们说:

10:4 “Come up and help me, and let us attack Gibeon, because it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
“求你们上我这里来帮助我, 我们好攻打基遍, 因为基遍已经与约书亚和以色列人议和了. ”

10:5 And the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their forces, and they laid siege to Gibeon and made war against it.
于是亚摩利人的那五个王, 就是耶路撒冷王,希伯仑王,耶末王,拉吉王和伊矶伦王, 联合起来, 带着他们所有的军队上去, 在基遍的对面安营, 攻打基遍.

10:6 And the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not abandon your servant. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country have gathered against us.”
基遍人就派人到吉甲营中约书亚那里去, 说: “不可丢弃你的仆人, 求你快快上我们这里来拯救我们,帮助我们; 因为住在山地的亚摩利人所有的王都集合起来攻击我们. ”

10:7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the fighting men with him, all the best warriors.
于是约书亚和所有能作战的人, 以及所有英勇的战士, 都一起从吉甲上去.

10:8 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have given them into your hand; no one will withstand you.
耶和华对约书亚说: “你不要怕他们, 因为我已经把他们交在你手里了; 他们必没有一人能在你面前站立得住. ”

10:9 Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching up all night from Gilgal.
于是约书亚乘夜从吉甲上去, 突然来到他们那里.

10:10 And Yahweh threw them into panic before Israel, who struck them with a great blow at Gibeon and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
耶和华使他们在以色列人面前溃乱, 约书亚在基遍大大地击杀他们, 沿着伯．和仑的上坡路追赶他们, 击打他们, 直到亚西加和玛基大.

10:11 And as they were fleeing from Israel, they were on the slope of Beth-horon, and Yahweh threw huge stones from the heavens on them as far as Azekah; and more died by the hail stones than those whom the Israelites killed by the sword.
他们从以色列人面前逃跑, 正在下伯．和仑斜坡的时候, 耶和华从天上降大冰雹在他们身上, 一直到亚西加, 打死他们; 被冰雹打死的, 比以色列人用刀杀死的还多.

10:12 Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh, on the day Yahweh gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun in Gibeon, stand still, and moon, in the valley of Aijalon.”
那时, 就是耶和华把亚摩利人交给以色列人的时候, 约书亚在以色列人面前对耶和华说: “太阳啊, 停在基遍; 月亮啊, 停在亚雅仑谷. ”

10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on its enemies. Is it not written in the scroll of Jashar? The sun stood still in the middle of the heaven and was not in haste to set for about a full day.
于是太阳停住, 月亮站住, 直到以色列人在仇敌的身上报了仇. 这事不是写在《雅煞珥书》上吗? 太阳在天空中站住, 不急速下落, 约有一整天.

10:14 There has not been a day like this before it or after, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
在这日以前或这日以后, 耶和华听人的祷告, 没有像这日一样的, 因为耶和华为以色列作战.

10:15 And Joshua returned and all Israel with him to the camp at Gilgal.
后来, 约书亚和众以色列人回到吉甲营那里去.

10:16 But these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
那五个王逃跑了, 躲藏在玛基大洞里.

10:17 And it was told to Joshua, saying, “The five kings were found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
有人告诉约书亚, 说: “那五个王已经找到了, 都躲藏在玛基大洞里. ”

10:18 And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men in front of it to guard them.
约书亚说: “你们把几块大石头辊到洞口那里去, 并派人到洞口去看守他们.

10:19 But do not stay there; pursue after your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to go into their cities, for Yahweh your God has given them into your hand.”
你们却不可站着, 要追赶你们的仇敌, 从后面击杀他们, 不可让他们逃进自己的城中, 因为耶和华你们的神已经把他们交在你们的手里了. ”

10:20 When Joshua and the Israelites had finished striking them with a very great blow, until they perished, those of them who survived went into the fortified cities,
约书亚和以色列人把他们杀得惨败, 直到把他们灭绝为止, 那些逃脱的人都逃进设防的城里;

10:21 and all the people returned to the camp safely to Joshua at Makkedah. No one spoke against the Israelites.
众以色列人都平平安安回到玛基大营中约书亚那里. 没有人敢说话攻击以色列人.

10:22 And Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring to me those five kings from the cave.”
约书亚说: “你们打开洞口, 把那五个王从洞里拉出来, 带到我这里来. ”

10:23 And they did so, and brought him these five kings from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
众人就照着执行, 他们把那五个王, 就是耶路撒冷王,希伯仑王,耶末王,拉吉王和伊矶伦王, 从洞里拉出来, 带到约书亚那里去.

10:24 And when they brought these kings to Joshua, Joshua called all the men of Israel and said to the commanders of the fighting men who had gone with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
众人把那五个王带到约书亚那里去的时候, 约书亚把所有的以色列人都召了来, 对那些与他同去作战的军长说: “你们走前来, 把脚踏在这些王的颈项上. ”他们就走前来, 把脚踏在那些王的颈项上.

10:25 And Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid or dismayed! Be strong and bold, for thus Yahweh will do to all your enemies whom you are about to fight.
约书亚对他们说: “你们不要惧怕, 不要惊慌; 总要坚强勇敢, 因为耶和华必这样对待你们要攻打的所有仇敌. ”

10:26 And after this Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he hanged them on five trees. And they were hanging on the trees until the evening.
随后, 约书亚把那五个王杀死, 悬在五棵树上; 他们就悬在树上, 直到晚上.

10:27 And it happened at the time of sunset, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and they put large stones against the mouth of the cave, which are there to this very day.
到了日落的时候, 约书亚吩咐人把他们从树上取下来, 丢在他们躲藏过的洞里, 把几块大石头放在洞口; 这些石头一直存到今日.

10:28 Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and he struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and everyone that was in it. He did not leave behind a survivor. So he did to the king of Makkedah just as he did to the king of Jericho.
在那天, 约书亚占领了玛基大, 用刀击杀了那城的人和那城的王, 把城中所有的人完全毁灭, 不容一人逃脱; 他对待玛基大王就像对待耶利哥王一样.

10:29 And Joshua passed on, and all of Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against Libnah.
约书亚和跟他在一起的众以色列人从玛基大往立拿去, 攻打立拿.

10:30 And Yahweh also gave it into the hand of Israel, and its king and all the people in it he struck with the edge of the sword. He left in it no survivor. He did to its king just as he did to the king of Jericho.
耶和华把立拿和立拿的王也交在以色列人手里, 约书亚用刀攻击那城, 杀了城里所有的人, 不容一人逃脱; 他对待立拿王就像对待耶利哥王一样.

10:31 And Joshua passed on, and all of Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and he laid siege to it and fought against it.
约书亚和跟他在一起的众以色列人从立拿往拉吉去, 对着拉吉安营, 攻打这城.

10:32 And Yahweh gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and everyone in it, just as he did to Libnah.
耶和华把拉吉交在以色列人手里, 第二天约书亚就占领了拉吉, 用刀攻击那城, 杀了城中所有的人, 跟他对立拿所行的一切一样.

10:33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua struck him and his people until he left no survivor behind.
那时, 基色王荷兰上来帮助拉吉, 约书亚就把他和他的人民都击杀了, 没有留下一人.

约书亚和与他在一起的众以色列人从拉吉往伊矶伦去, 对着伊矶伦安营, 攻打这城.

那一天, 他们占领了这城, 用刀攻击那城, 杀了城中所有的人; 那一天约书亚把他们完全毁灭, 跟他对拉吉所行的一切一样.

10:36 And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fought against it
约书亚和与他在一起的众以色列人从伊矶伦上希伯仑去, 攻打这城.

10:37 and captured it, and they struck it with the edge of the sword, its king and all its cities, and all the people that were in it; he left behind no survivor, as he had done to Eglon, and he utterly destroyed it and all the people that were in it.
他们占领了这城, 用刀攻击这城, 杀了这城的王, 又攻击属于这城的城镇, 杀了城中所有的人, 不容一人逃脱, 跟他对伊矶伦所行的一切一样, 把这城和城中所有的人完全毁灭.

10:38 Then Joshua returned to Debir, and all of Israel with him, and they fought against it,
约书亚和与他在一起的众以色列人回到了底璧, 攻打这城.

10:39 and he captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with the the edge of the sword, and they utterly destroyed all the people that were in it; he left behind no survivor, just as he had done to Hebron. Thus he did to Debir and its king what he had done to Libnah and its king.
约书亚占领了这城, 抓住这城的王, 又占领了属于这城的一切城镇; 以色列人用刀击杀他们, 把城中所有的人都毁灭了; 约书亚不容一人逃脱, 他怎样对待希伯仑, 也照样对待底璧和底璧的王; 也好像他对待立拿和立拿的王一样.

10:40 So Joshua struck all the land—the hill country, the Negev, the Shephelah, and the slopes—and all their kings; he left behind no survivor, and all that breathed he utterly destroyed as Yahweh the God of Israel commanded.
这样, 约书亚击杀了全地的人, 就是山地,南地,高原和山坡的人, 以及那些地方所有的王, 不容一人逃脱; 约书亚照着耶和华以色列的神的吩咐, 把有气息的都完全毁灭了.

约书亚从加低斯．巴尼亚击杀他们, 直到迦萨, 又从歌珊全地击杀他们, 直到基遍.

还剩下来的地, 就是非利士人的全境和基述人的全地,

13:3 from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, up to the border of Ekron to the north, which is reckoned as Canaanite; there are five Philistine rulers: the Gazites, Ashdodites, Ashkelonites, Gittites, Ekronites, and the Avvim.

以色列人却没有赶走基述人和玛迦人; 因此, 基述人和玛迦人住在以色列人中间, 直到今日.

耶和华怎样吩咐摩西, 以色列人就照样行, 把地分配了.

犹大人来到吉甲约书亚那里, 基尼洗人耶孚尼的儿子迦勒对约书亚说: “耶和华在加低斯．巴尼亚对神人摩西所说关于你和我的话, 你是知道的.

14:7 I was forty years old when Moses Yahweh’s servant sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I returned with an honest report.
耶和华的仆人摩西从加低斯．巴尼亚派我去窥探这地的时候, 我正四十岁; 我照着我心里所想的向他报告.

14:8 My companions who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt, but I remained true to Yahweh my God.
可是, 与我一同上去的众兄弟却使人民的心惊惧, 我却完全顺从耶和华我的神.

14:9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land that your foot has trodden on will be an inheritance to you and your sons forever, because you remained true to Yahweh my God.’
那天摩西起誓说: ‘你的脚踏过的地都必归你和你的子孙作产业, 直到永远, 因为你完全顺从耶和华我的神. ’

14:10 So then, look, Yahweh has kept me alive just as he promised these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Now look, today I am eighty-five years old.
现在你看, 自从耶和华对摩西说了这话以后, 耶和华照着所应许的, 使我活了这四十五年, 就是以色列人在旷野行走的时期; 现在你看, 我今日已经是八十五岁了.

14:11 Today I am still strong, just as on the day that Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so now also is my strength for war and for daily activities.
今日我还是强壮, 像摩西派我去的那天一样; 无论是作战, 或是出入, 那时我的力量怎样, 现在我的力量还是怎样.

14:12 So now give me this hill country that Yahweh spoke of on that day, for you heard on that day that the Anakites were there, with great and fortified cities. Perhaps Yahweh is with me, and I will drive them out just as Yahweh promised.”
现在求你把耶和华那日所应许的这山地赐给我; 因为那天你也曾听见那里有亚衲人, 又有宽大坚固的城; 但耶和华与我同在, 我就可以把他们赶出去, 正如耶和华所应许的. ”

14:13 And Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.
于是约书亚给迦勒祝福, 把希伯仑赐给了耶孚尼的儿子迦勒作产业.

14:14 Thus Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he remained true to Yahweh the God of Israel.
因此, 希伯仑成了基尼洗人耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业, 直到今日; 因为他完全顺从耶和华以色列的神.

14:15 And the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath Arba; Arba was the greatest person among the Anakites. And the land rested from war.
希伯仑从前名叫基列．亚巴; 亚巴是亚衲人中最伟大的人. 全地也就止息了战争.

迦勒说: “谁能攻打基列．西弗, 把基列．西弗夺取, 我就把我的女儿押撒给他作妻子. ”

约瑟的子孙抽签所得的地业, 是从靠近耶利哥的约旦河起, 到耶利哥东边的水泉, 经过从耶利哥上去的旷野, 进到在山地的伯特利;

又从伯特利到路斯, 经过亚基人的境界亚他绿,

16:3 Then it goes down, to the west, to the territory of the Japhletites, up to the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea.

以下是以法莲人按着家族所得的境界: 他们的产业在东方的疆界, 是亚他绿．亚达, 直到上伯．和仑.

Joshua - Chapter 17

17:1 Then the allotment was made for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Makir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a warrior.
玛拿西是约瑟的长子, 他的支派抽签所得的地业记在下面; 至于玛拿西的长子, 基列的父亲玛吉, 因为是个战士, 所以得到基列和巴珊.

17:2 An allotment was made for the remaining descendants of Manasseh, according to their families: For the children of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida—these were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph according to their families.
玛拿西其余的子孙按着家族抽签分地, 包括亚比以谢的子孙,希勒的子孙,亚斯列的子孙,示剑的子孙,希弗的子孙,示米大的子孙; 这些都是约瑟的儿子玛拿西子孙中男丁的各家族.

17:3 But Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
玛拿西的玄孙,玛吉的曾孙,基列的孙子,希弗的儿子西罗非哈没有儿子, 只有女儿; 他女儿们的名字是玛拉,挪阿,曷拉,密迦,得撒.

17:4 They came before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give an inheritance to us among our kinsmen.” Therefore, according to the command of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the kinsmen of their father.
她们来到以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚, 以及众首领的面前, 说: “耶和华曾经吩咐摩西, 在我们的兄弟中把产业分给我们. ”于是约书亚照着耶和华所吩咐的, 在她们的叔伯中间, 把产业分给她们.

17:5 Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan,
这样, 除了约旦河东的基列和巴珊地之外, 还有十份地业归属玛拿西.

17:6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead was allotted to the remaining descendants of Manasseh.
因为玛拿西的孙女, 在玛拿西的孩子中, 也得了产业; 基列地是属于玛拿西其余的子孙的.

17:7 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is opposite Shechem; then the border goes to the south, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
玛拿西的疆界, 是从亚设起, 到示剑东面的密米他; 又向南走, 到隐．他普亚的居民那里.

17:8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tuppuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the descendants of Ephraim.
(他普亚地是属于玛拿西的, 但是在玛拿西疆界上的他普亚城, 却是属于以法莲的子孙的. )

17:9 Then the border goes down to the wadi of Kanah to the south of the wadi. These cities belong to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh is north of the wadi, and it ends at the sea.
玛拿西的疆界又下到加拿河, 在加拿河的南边, 玛拿西的众城镇中, 有这些城镇是属于以法莲的. 玛拿西的疆界, 从河的北面起, 直通到海.

17:10 The south is Ephraim’s, and the north is Manasseh’s; the sea is their border; Asher touches the north and on the east Issachar.
南面是属于以法莲的, 北面是属于玛拿西的; 玛拿西在西边的疆界就是海, 北面与亚设相接, 东面和以萨迦相连;

17:11 In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; the third is Napheth.
在以萨迦和亚设的境内, 伯．善和属于伯．善的市镇, 以伯莲和属于以伯莲的市镇, 多珥的居民和属于多珥的市镇, 都属于玛拿西; 还有三处山区, 就是: 隐．多珥的居民和属于隐．多珥的市镇, 他衲的居民和属于他衲的市镇, 米吉多的居民和属于米吉多的市镇.

17:12 But the descendants of Manasseh were not able to take possession of these towns; the Canaanites were determined to live in this land.
可是玛拿西的子孙却不能把这些城的居民赶走, 迦南人决意住在那地.

17:13 And it happened, when the Israelites grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor but never drove them out completely.
以色列人强盛以后, 就迫使迦南人作苦工, 却没有把他们完全赶出去.

约书亚对他们说: “如果你们族大人多, 又嫌以法莲山地过于窄小, 就可以上森林区去, 在比利洗人和利乏音人之地那里自己砍伐树木. ”

约瑟的子孙回答: “那山地容不下我们, 并且住在谷地的所有迦南人, 就是住在伯．善和属于伯．善的市镇的人, 以及住在耶列斯谷的人, 都有铁车. ”

17:17 And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are many people and have great power; you will not have one allotment only;
约书亚对约瑟家, 就是对以法莲人和玛拿西人说: “你们族大人多, 势力强大, 不可以只抽一份地业;

17:18 the hill country will be yours. Even though it is a forest, you will clear it, and it will be yours to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and are strong.”
山地也要归给你们, 那里虽然是森林, 你们可以砍伐, 开辟的土地都归给你们; 迦南人虽然拥有铁车, 势力强大, 你们也能把他们赶出去. ”

“你要告诉以色列人: ‘你们要照着我借着摩西命令你们的, 为自己设立避难城,

20:3 Anyone who kills a person by accident or unintentionally may flee there; they will be for yourselves a refuge from the avenger of blood.
好使那出于错误,并非蓄意杀人的, 可以逃到那里去; 这些城要成为你们逃避报血仇的人的避难所.

20:4 The killer will flee to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and state his case to the elders of that city; and they will take him into the city and give him a place, and he will dwell among them.
那杀人的要逃到这些城中的一座, 站在城门口, 把自己的事情向城中的众长老述说, 长老就要把他接入城中, 到他们那里, 并要给他地方, 使他可以住在他们中间.

20:5 And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they will not hand over the killer into his hand, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally, and he did not hate him previously.
如果报血仇的人追赶他, 长老不可把他交在报血仇的人手里, 因为他并非蓄意杀人, 他以前与他并没有仇恨.

20:6 The killer will stay in that city until he stands before the congregation for the trial, until the death of the one who is the high priest in those days. Then the killer will return to his city and to his house, to the city from which he fled.’ ”
那杀人的要住在那城里, 直到他站在会众面前受审; 等到当时的大祭司死了, 才可以回到本城本家, 回到他逃出来的城那里. ’”

Joshua - Chapter 22

22:1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
那时, 约书亚把流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人召了来,

22:2 and he said to them, “You have observed all that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, and you have listened to my voice in all that I have commanded you;
对他们说: “耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐你们的一切, 你们都遵守了; 我吩咐你们的一切, 你们也都听从了.

22:3 you have not forsaken your kinsmen these many days, up to this day, and you have observed the obligation of the command of Yahweh your God.
这许多日子以来, 你们一直没有撇弃你们的兄弟, 直到今日; 耶和华你们的神吩咐你们的命令, 你们也遵守了.

22:4 So then, Yahweh your God has given rest to your kinsmen, just as he promised them; so then, turn and go to your tents to the land of your possession, which Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to you beyond the Jordan.
现在耶和华你们的神, 照着他应许的, 已经使你们兄弟得享平安; 现在你们可以返回自己家里, 回到耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东赐给你们作产业的地方去.

22:5 Only be very careful to observe the commandment and law that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
只是你们要谨慎遵守耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐你们的诫命和律法, 爱耶和华你们的神, 遵行他的一切道路, 谨守他的诫命, 紧紧倚靠他, 一心一意事奉他. ”

22:6 And Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
于是约书亚给他们祝福, 打发他们回去, 他们就回自己的家里去了.

22:7 And to the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua had given a possession with their kinsmen beyond the Jordan to the west; and when Joshua sent them to their tents and blessed them,
摩西在巴珊已经把产业分给了玛拿西半个支派; 至于另外半个支派, 约书亚在约旦河西他们的兄弟中间, 也把产业分给了他们. 约书亚打发他们回家去的时候, 给他们祝福,

22:8 he said to them, “Return to your tents with much wealth, and with very much livestock, with silver, gold, copper, iron, and with very much clothing; divide the war-booty of your enemies with your kinsmen.”
对他们说: “你们带着许多财物, 许多牲畜和金,银,铜,铁, 以及许多衣服, 回自己的家去吧; 也要把你们从仇敌夺得的战利品与你们的兄弟同分. ”

22:9 So the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home and departed with the Israelites at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had acquired according to the command of Yahweh through the hand of Moses.
于是流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人, 从迦南地的示罗起程, 离开以色列人, 回到他们所得的产业基列地去, 就是照着耶和华借着摩西所吩咐, 赐给他们的产业.

22:10 And they came to the region of the Jordan that is in the land of Canaan, and the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar on the Jordan, a large and imposing altar.
流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人, 来到迦南地靠近约旦河的地区, 就在约旦河边那里筑了一座祭坛, 那坛十分壮观.

22:11 And the Israelites heard it said that the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had built an altar next to the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan, on the side belonging to the Israelites.
以色列人听见了这事, 就说: “看哪, 流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人, 在迦南地边境, 靠近约旦河的地区, 以色列人境内, 筑了一座坛. ”

22:12 When the Israelites heard of it, the whole congregation of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh to go up against them for battle.
以色列人听见了这事, 以色列全体会众就聚集在示罗, 要上去讨伐他们.

22:13 And the Israelites sent to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, Phinehas the priest son of Eleazar,
以色列人派以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈, 到基列地去见流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人;

22:14 and ten leaders with him, one leader for each family from each of the tribes of Israel; and each one was the head of his family among the clans of Israel.
又派十个首领与非尼哈同去, 每一个都代表以色列的支派家族; 他们是全体以色列各家族的领袖.

22:15 They came to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
他们去到基列地, 流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人那里, 对他们说:

22:16 “Thus says all the congregation of Yahweh: ‘What is this treachery that you have committed against the God of Israel by turning away today from following Yahweh, by building for yourselves an altar to rebel today against Yahweh?
“耶和华的全体会众这样说: ‘你们作的是什么事? 竟对以色列的神不忠, 今日转离不跟从耶和华, 为自己筑了一座坛, 背叛了耶和华.

22:17 Is not the sin of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves today, and for which a plague came to the congregation of Yahweh,
从前拜毗珥的罪孽, 我们还以为是小事吗? 虽然有灾疫临到耶和华的会众, 直到今日我们还没有洗净这罪呢.

22:18 that you must turn today from following Yahweh? If you rebel today against Yahweh, tomorrow he will be angry with all of the congregation of Israel;
你们今日竟转离不跟从耶和华吗? 今日你们既然背叛耶和华, 明日他必向以色列全体会众发怒了.

22:19 if, however, the land of your property is unclean, cross over to the land of Yahweh’s property, where Yahweh’s tabernacle resides, and take possession among us. But you must not rebel against Yahweh or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of Yahweh our God.
如果你们认为所得的地业不洁净, 你们可以过到耶和华的地业, 就是耶和华的帐幕居住的地方, 在我们中间得地业; 只是不可背叛耶和华, 也不可背叛我们, 在耶和华我们的神的坛以外, 为自己筑另一座坛.

22:20 Did not Achan son of Zerah commit treachery with devoted things, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And he alone did not perish because of his iniquity.’ ”
从前谢拉的曾孙亚干, 不是在当毁灭的物上犯了不忠的罪, 以致神的忿怒临到以色列全体会众吗? 因他的罪孽而死的, 还不只他一人呢! ’”

22:21 And the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh spoke with the heads of the clans of Israel,
于是流本人,迦得人和玛拿西半个支派的人回答以色列的统领说:

22:22 “Yahweh, God of gods! Yahweh, God of gods knows. And let Israel itself know, if it was in rebellion or treachery against Yahweh, do not spare us this day
“大能者神耶和华! 大能者神耶和华, 他是知道的, 愿以色列也知道; 如果我们存心背叛, 或是对耶和华不忠, 今日就不要放过我们.

22:23 for building for ourselves an altar to turn away from Yahweh, or if it was to offer burnt offerings, grain offerings, or fellowship offerings on it, may Yahweh himself take vengeance.
我们若是为自己筑坛, 转离不跟从耶和华, 或是把燔祭,素祭和平安祭献在坛上, 愿耶和华亲自追究我们.

22:24 But in fact, we have done this because of anxiety, because of a reason, saying, ‘In the future your children may say to our children, ‘What is the relationship between you and Yahweh the God of Israel?
我们作这事, 实在是有理由的, 因为顾虑将来你们的子孙对我们的子孙说: ‘你们与耶和华以色列的神有什么关系呢?

22:25 Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, the descendants of Reuben and Gad; you have no portion in Yahweh.’ So your children may put an end to our children worshiping Yahweh.
流本人和迦得人啊, 耶和华定了约旦河作我们和你们中间的疆界; 你们与耶和华无分了. ’这样, 你们的子孙就使我们的子孙不再敬畏耶和华了.

22:26 So we said, ‘Let us build immediately for ourselves an altar, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices;
“因此我们说: ‘我们筑一座坛吧, 不是为了献燔祭, 也不是为了献别的祭,

22:27 instead, it is a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us for performing the serving of Yahweh in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and fellowship offerings; so that your children may not say in the future to our children, “You have no portion in Yahweh.” ’
而是为了在你们和我们中间, 也在我们的后代中间作证据, 使我们也可以在耶和华面前用燔祭,别的祭和平安祭事奉耶和华, 免得你们的子孙将来对我们的子孙说: 你们与耶和华无分了. ’

22:28 And we thought, if they say to us and to our children in the future, we can say, ‘Look at this replica of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices; rather, it is a witness between us and you.’
因此我们说: ‘将来有人对我们, 或是对我们的后代这样说, 我们就可以回答: 你们看我们列祖所筑的坛, 是耶和华的祭坛的模式, 这并不是用来献燔祭, 也不是用来献别的祭, 而是在我们和你们中间作证据. ’

22:29 Far be it from us to rebel against Yahweh, to turn today from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings, or sacrifices, instead of the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle.”
我们决没有背叛耶和华的意思, 今日要转离不跟从耶和华, 在耶和华我们的神的帐幕前的祭坛以外, 另筑一座坛, 为了献燔祭,素祭和别的祭. ”

22:30 Phinehas the priest, the leaders of the congregation, and the heads of the clans of Israel who were with him heard the words that the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh spoke, and they were satisfied.
非尼哈祭司和会众的领袖, 以及与祭司同来的以色列的统领, 听了流本人,迦得人和玛拿西人说的话, 都很满意.

22:31 Phinehas the priest, son of Eleazar, said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against Yahweh. Therefore you have rescued the Israelites from the hand of Yahweh.”
以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈对流本人,迦得人和玛拿西人说: “今天我们知道耶和华是在我们中间的, 因为你们并没有对耶和华不忠; 现在你们已经救了以色列人脱离耶和华的手. ”

22:32 And Phinehas the priest, son of Eleazar, and the leaders returned from the descendants of Reuben and Gad, from the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan to the Israelites, and they gave them their report.
以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈和众领袖离开了流本人和迦得人, 从基列地回到迦南地以色列人那里, 把这事向他们报告.

22:33 The report satisfied the Israelites; they blessed God, and they did not speak of going up for battle against them to destroy the land in which the descendants of Reuben and Gad were living.
以色列人对这事都很满意, 就称颂神, 不再说要上去讨伐流本人和迦得人, 毁灭他们所住的地方了.

22:34 The descendants of Reuben and Gad called the altar Witness, “Because,” they said, “it is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.”
流本人和迦得人给那坛起名叫证坛, 因为他们说: “这坛在我们中间证明耶和华是神. ”

Joshua - Chapter 23

23:1 And it happened, after a long time, after Yahweh had given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, and after Joshua was old and well-advanced in years,
耶和华使以色列人得享平安, 不受四围仇敌的骚扰, 已经有一段很长的日子; 约书亚已经老了, 年纪不小了.

23:2 Joshua summoned all Israel, their elders, heads, judges, and officials, and he said to them, “I am old and well-advanced in years,
约书亚就把全体以色列人,他们的长老,首领,审判官和官长, 都召了来, 对他们说: “我已经老了, 年纪不小了.

23:3 and you have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations for your sake, for Yahweh your God is fighting for you.
耶和华你们的神, 因你们的缘故, 向那些国家所行的一切事, 你们都亲眼看见了; 因为耶和华你们的神为你们作战.

23:4 Look! I have allotted to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, to the Great Sea in the west.
你们看, 剩下来的这些国家, 连同我剪除的列国, 从约旦河起, 直到日落之处的大海, 我都按着你们各支派, 用抽签的方式, 分给你们作产业了.

23:5 And Yahweh your God will push them back before you and drive them out of your sight, and you will possess their land, just as Yahweh your God promised to you.
耶和华你们的神必把他们从你们面前赶出去, 驱逐他们离开你们, 你们就必得着他们的地作产业, 正如耶和华你们的神所应许的.

23:6 Be very strong to observe carefully all that is written in the scroll of the law of Moses so as not to turn aside from it, to the right or left,
所以你们要十分坚强, 谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话, 使你们不偏向左, 不偏向右;

23:7 so as not to go among these remaining nations with you; do not profess the name of their gods, and do not swear by them, serve them, or bow down to them.
使你们不与你们中间剩下的这些国家的人来往; 他们的神的名字, 你们不可提, 不可指着他们起誓, 不可事奉他们, 也不可敬拜他们;

23:8 But hold fast to Yahweh your God, just as you have done up to this day.
只要照着你们一直以来所行的, 紧紧倚靠耶和华你们的神.

23:9 Yahweh has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, nobody has withstood you to this day.
因为耶和华已经把又大又强的列国从你们面前赶出去; 至于你们, 直到今日, 还没有一人能在你们面前站立得住.

23:10 One of your men put to flight a thousand, for Yahweh your God is fighting for you, just as he promised you.
你们一人可以追赶千人, 因为耶和华你们的神, 照着他应许你们的, 为你们作战.

23:11 Take utmost care for the sake of your life to love Yahweh your God,
你们自己要十分谨慎, 爱耶和华你们的神.

23:12 for if indeed you turn back and join these remaining nations among you, and you intermarry with them, marrying their women and they yours,
如果你们转离耶和华, 与你们中间剩下的这些国家的余民联络, 和他们通婚, 互相来往,

23:13 know for certain that Yahweh your God will not continue to drive out these nations from before you; they will be for you a snare and a trap, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you.
你们就必知道, 耶和华你们的神必不再把这些国家从你们面前赶出去; 他们必要成为你们的网罗和陷阱, 肋下的鞭和眼中的刺, 直到你们从耶和华你们的神赐给你们的这美地上灭亡为止.

23:14 Look! I am about to die, and you know in all your hearts and souls that not one thing failed from all the good things that Yahweh your God promised concerning you; everything has been fulfilled; not one thing failed.
“看哪, 我今天要走世人必经的路了. 你们清清楚楚(“清清楚楚”原文作“一心一意”)知道耶和华你们的神应许赐福给你们的话, 没有一句落空; 完全应验在你们身上, 没有一句落空.

23:15 But just as all the good things came to you that Yahweh your God promised, so will Yahweh bring to you all the bad things until he has destroyed you from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you.
耶和华你们的神应许你们的一切福气怎样临到你们身上, 耶和华也必照样使各样的灾祸临到你们身上, 直到把你们从耶和华你们的神赐给你们的这美地上消灭为止.

23:16 If you transgress the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded to you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them, Yahweh’s anger will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from the good land that he has given to you.”
如果你们违背了耶和华你们的神吩咐你们遵守的约, 去事奉别的神, 敬拜他们, 耶和华必向你们大发烈怒, 使你们从他赐给你们的美地上迅速灭亡. ”

Joshua - Chapter 24

24:1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem; he summoned the elders of Israel, their heads, their judges, and their officials, and they presented themselves before God.
约书亚在示剑召集以色列各支派, 又把以色列的长老,首领,审判官和官长都召了来, 他们就站在神面前.

24:2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘Long ago your ancestors—Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—lived beyond the river, and they served other gods.
约书亚对众民说: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘古时你们的列祖, 就是亚伯拉罕和拿鹤的父亲他拉, 住在大河那边; 他们事奉别的神.

24:3 I took your ancestor Abraham from beyond the river and led him through all the land of Canaan, and I increased his offspring; I gave him Isaac,
我把你们的祖先亚伯拉罕, 从大河那边带来, 领他走遍迦南地, 使他的后裔增多, 把以撒赐给他;

24:4 and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
又把雅各和以扫赐给以撒, 把西珥山赐给以扫作产业; 雅各和他的子孙却下到埃及去.

24:5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt with what I did in its midst; and afterward I brought you out.
我差派了摩西和亚伦, 借着我在埃及所行的神迹, 用灾疫击打埃及, 然后把你们领出来.

24:6 When I brought out your ancestors from Egypt, you came to the sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your ancestors with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
我领你们的列祖离开埃及, 他们去到海边; 埃及人带着战车和马兵, 追赶你们的列祖直到红海.

24:7 They cried out to Yahweh, and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and he brought the sea over them and covered them; your own eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you lived in the wilderness for many days.
你们的列祖呼求耶和华, 他就以黑暗隔开你们和埃及人, 又使海水复流淹没了他们; 我在埃及所行的事, 你们都亲眼见过; 你们在旷野也住了许多日子.

24:8 And I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan; they fought you, and I gave them into your hand; you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you.
我领你们到了住在约旦河东的亚摩利人的地, 他们和你们争战, 我把他们交在你们手里, 你们就得了他们的地作产业; 我也在你们面前把他们消灭.

24:9 Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, set out and fought against Israel, and he sent and summoned Balaam son of Beor to curse you,
那时摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒起来攻击以色列人; 他派人把比珥的儿子巴兰召了来, 咒诅你们.

24:10 but I was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he richly blessed you. So I rescued you from his hand,
我不肯听巴兰的话, 结果他反而一而再祝福你们; 这样, 我就救了你们脱离他的手.

24:11 and you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. And the citizens of Jericho, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, fought against you, and I gave them into your hand.
你们过了约旦河, 来到耶利哥; 耶利哥的居民与你们作战, 还有亚摩利人,比利洗人,迦南人,赫人,革迦撒人,希未人,耶布斯人, 也跟你们作战; 我把他们都交在你们手里.

24:12 I sent before you the hornet and they drove out before you two kings of the Amorites; but not by your sword or bow.
我派了黄蜂飞在你们前面, 把亚摩利人的两个王从你们面前赶走, 并不是用你的刀, 也不是用你的弓.

24:13 I gave to you a land that you have not labored on, and cities that you have not built, and you live in them; you eat from vineyards and olive groves that you have not planted.’
我赐给你们的土地, 不是你们劳苦开垦的; 我赐给你们的城市, 不是你们建造的, 你们却住在城中; 你们享用的葡萄园和橄榄园, 也不是你们栽种的. ’

24:14 “So now, revere Yahweh and serve him in sincerity and faithfulness; remove the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river and in Egypt, and serve Yahweh.
“现在你们要敬畏耶和华, 真诚地按着真理事奉他, 把你们列祖在大河那边和在埃及事奉的神除掉, 去事奉耶和华.

24:15 But if it is bad in your eyes to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you want to serve, whether it is the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve Yahweh.”
如果你们认为事奉耶和华不好, 那么今日你们就可以选择你们所要事奉的: 是你们列祖在大河那边事奉的神呢, 还是你们现在所住亚摩利人之地的神呢? 至于我和父家, 我们必事奉耶和华. ”

24:16 And the people answered and said, “Far be it from us that we would forsake Yahweh to serve other gods,
众民回答: “我们绝对不会离弃耶和华, 去事奉别的神;

24:17 for Yahweh our God brought us and our ancestors from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, and did these great signs before our eyes. He protected us along the entire way that we went, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.
因为耶和华我们的神把我们和我们的列祖, 从埃及地为奴的家领出来, 并且在我们眼前行了那些伟大的神迹; 又在我们所行的一切路上, 和我们经过的一切民族中间, 他都保护了我们;

24:18 And Yahweh drove out all the people before us, the Amorites who live in the land. We will serve Yahweh, for he is our God.”
耶和华又把所有的民族和住在这地的亚摩利人, 都从我们面前赶走; 所以我们必事奉耶和华, 因为他是我们的神. ”

24:19 But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve Yahweh, for he is a holy and jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins.
约书亚对众民说: “你们不能事奉耶和华, 因为他是圣洁的神; 他是嫉妒的神, 他必不赦免你们的过犯和罪恶.

24:20 If you forsake Yahweh and serve foreign gods, he will turn and bring disaster to you; he will destroy you after he has done good to you.”
如果你们离弃耶和华, 去事奉外族人的神, 那么在耶和华赐福给你们之后, 他必转而降祸与你们, 把你们消灭. ”

24:21 And the people said to Joshua, “No, we will serve Yahweh.”
众民对约书亚说: “不, 我们必定事奉耶和华. ”

24:22 And Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves to serve Yahweh.” And they said, “We are witnesses.”
约书亚对众民说: “你们选择了耶和华, 要事奉他, 你们为自己作证吧. ”他们说: “我们愿意作证. ”

24:23 He said, “Remove the foreign gods that are in your midst, and incline your hearts to Yahweh the God of Israel.”
约书亚说: “现在你们要除掉在你们中间外族人的神, 一心归向耶和华以色列的神. ”

24:24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve Yahweh our God, and we will listen to his voice.”

24:25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people on that day, and he established for them a statute and a judgment at Shechem.
那一天, 约书亚就与众民立约, 在示剑为他们订立律例和典章.

约书亚把这些话都写在神的律法书上; 又拿一块大石头, 立在耶和华圣所旁边的橡树下.

约书亚对全体人民说: “看哪, 这块石头可以向我们作证, 因为它听见了耶和华对我们所说的一切话; 所以这块石头要向你们作证, 免得你们否认你们的神. ”

以色列人把他埋葬在他自己地业的境内, 就是在以法莲山地上的亭拿．西拉, 在迦实山的北边.

24:31 Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who lived long after Joshua, and who had known all the work that Yahweh did for Israel.
约书亚在世的日子, 和约书亚死后, 那些知道耶和华为以色列人所行的一切事的长老还在世的日子, 以色列人都事奉耶和华.

24:32 The bones of Jacob, which the Israelites had brought out from Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in a piece of land that Jacob had bought from the children of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of money; it became an inheritance for the descendants of Joseph.
以色列人从埃及带出来的约瑟骸骨, 葬在示剑的一块田里; 这块田是雅各从前用一百块银子向示剑的父亲哈抹的子孙那里买来的; 这块田就成了约瑟子孙的产业.

2:1 And the angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up from Egypt, and I brought you to the land that I had promised to your ancestors. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.
耶和华的使者从吉甲上到波金来, 说: “我曾经把你们从埃及领上来, 带你们到我向你们列祖起誓应许的地方; 我曾说过: ‘我永不废弃我与你们所立的约;

2:2 And as for you, do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land; break down their altars.’ But you did not listen to my voice. Why would you do such a thing?
你们不可与这地的居民立约, 要拆毁他们的祭坛. ’你们竟没有听从我的话; 你们作的是什么呢?

2:3 Now I say, I will not drive them out from before you; they will become as thorns for you, and their gods will be a trap for you.”
因此我又说: ‘我必不把他们从你们面前赶走, 他们要作你们的敌人, 他们的神要作你们的网罗. ’”

2:4 And as the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the Israelites, the people wept bitterly.
耶和华的使者对以色列众人说这些话的时候, 众人就放声大哭.

2:5 And they called the name of this place Bokim, and there they sacrificed to Yahweh.

2:6 And Joshua sent the people away, and the Israelites went each to their own inheritance to take possession of the land.
约书亚遣散了众人, 以色列人就各归自己承受的地业, 要占有那地.

2:7 And the people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who saw all the great work Yahweh had done for Israel.
约书亚在世的时候, 以及他去世以后, 那些见过耶和华为以色列人所行的大事的众长老还在的日子, 众人都事奉耶和华.

2:9 They buried him within the border of his inheritance in Timnah-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.
以色列人把他埋葬在他地业的境内, 就是以法莲山地, 在迦实山北面的亭拿．希烈.

2:10 Moreover, that entire generation was gathered to their ancestors, and another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or the work he had done for Israel.
那一代的人都归到他们的列祖那里以后, 有另一代的人兴起来了; 他们不认识耶和华, 也不知道耶和华为以色列人所行的事.

2:11 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and they served the Baals.
以色列人行了耶和华看为恶的事, 去事奉众巴力;

2:12 They abandoned Yahweh the God of their ancestors, who brought them out from the land of Egypt. They followed other gods from the gods of the people who were around them; and they bowed down to them, and they provoked the anger of Yahweh.
他们离弃了领他们出埃及的耶和华,他们列祖的神, 去跟从别的神, 就是他们周围各族的神, 敬拜他们, 惹耶和华发怒.

耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 就把他们交在抢掠的人手中, 他们就抢掠他们; 他又把他们完全交在他们四围的仇敌手中, 以致他们在仇敌面前再不能站立得住.

2:15 Whenever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was against them to harm them, just as Yahweh warned, and just as Yahweh had sworn to them. And they were very distressed.
他们无论去哪里, 耶和华的手总是加害他们, 好像耶和华说过的, 又像耶和华对他们起誓过的; 他们就非常困苦.

2:16 Then Yahweh raised up leaders, and they delivered them from the hand of their plunderers.
耶和华兴起了士师, 士师就拯救他们脱离抢掠他们的人的手.

2:17 But they did not listen to their leaders, but lusted after other gods and bowed down to them. They turned away quickly from the way that their ancestors went, who had obeyed the commandment of Yahweh; they did not do as their ancestors.
但他们连士师也不听从, 竟与别的神行了奸淫, 敬拜他们; 他们迅速偏离了他们列祖所行,听从耶和华命令的道路, 他们没有照样行.

2:18 And when Yahweh raised leaders for them, Yahweh was with the leader, and he delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the leader, for Yahweh was moved by their groaning because of their persecutors and oppressors.
耶和华为他们兴起士师的时候, 耶和华就与那士师同在; 那士师在世的日子, 耶和华总是拯救他们脱离仇敌的手; 因为他们在压迫和苦害他们的人底下发出哀声, 耶和华就怜悯他们.

2:19 But when the leader died they relapsed and acted corruptly, more than their ancestors, following other gods, serving them, and bowing down to them. They would not give up their deeds or their stubborn ways.
可是士师死了以后, 他们就转而行恶, 比他们的列祖更厉害, 去随从别的神, 事奉和敬拜他们, 总不放弃他们的恶行和顽梗的行径.

2:20 So the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he said, “Because this people transgressed my covenant that I commanded their ancestors, and have not obeyed my voice,
于是耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 说: “因为这国的人违背我吩咐他们列祖的约, 不听从我的话,

2:21 I will not again drive out anyone from before them from the nations that Joshua left when he died,
因此, 约书亚死后仍剩下来的列国, 我也不再从他们面前赶走,

2:22 in order to test Israel whether or not they would observe the way of Yahweh, to walk in it just as their ancestors did.”
为要借着他们试验以色列人, 看他们肯不肯谨守遵行耶和华的道路, 像他们的列祖一样谨守. ”

2:23 So Yahweh left those nations; he did not drive them out at once, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
这样, 耶和华留下这些国的民, 不迅速把他们赶走, 也不把他们交在约书亚手里.

耶和华的灵临到他身上, 他就治理以色列人; 他出去作战, 耶和华把亚兰王古珊．利萨田交在他手中, 他的能力就胜过了古珊．利萨田.

3:11 So the land rested forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.
于是国中太平了四十年. 后来基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂死了.

3:12 And again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. So Yahweh strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
以色列人又行了耶和华看为恶的事, 耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛起来, 欺压以色列人, 因为他们行了耶和华看为恶的事.

3:13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and Amalekites, and he went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the city of palms.
伊矶伦集合了亚扪人和亚玛力人, 前来击败了以色列人, 占领了棕树城.

于是以色列人服事了摩押王伊矶伦十八年.

3:15 And the Israelites cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjaminite and a left-handed man. And the Israelites sent a tribute to Eglon king of Moab through him.
以色列人向耶和华哀求的时候, 耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者, 就是便雅悯人基拉的儿子以笏, 是一个用左手的人. 以色列人派他把贡物送给摩押王伊矶伦.

3:16 Ehud made for himself a short, two-edged sword (a cubit in length), and he fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.
以笏做了一把两刃的剑, 长半公尺, 缚在右腿上, 在衣服底下.

3:17 Then he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.

3:18 When Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
以笏献完了贡物, 就把抬贡物的众人打发走了.

3:19 But he turned back from the sculptured stones that were near Gilgal, and he said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he said, “Silence!” So all those standing in his presence went out,
自己却从靠近吉甲的众雕像那里回来, 说: “王啊, 我有一件机密的事要对你说. ”王说: “暂不要说. ”侍立左右的人都离开他出去了.

3:20 and Ehud came to him while he was sitting alone in his cool upper room. And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” So he got up from his seat.
以笏来到王那里; 王独自一人坐在凉楼上. 以笏说: “我有神的话要告诉你. ”王就从座位上站起来.

3:21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand for the sword on his right thigh, and he thrust it into his stomach.
以笏就伸出左手, 从右腿上拔出剑来, 刺入王的腹中;

3:22 And the handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade because he did not draw back the sword from his stomach; and it went protruding out the back.
连剑柄与剑身都刺进去了, 肥肉把剑身夹住, 因此他没有把剑从王的肚腹里拔出来; 接着他就从窗户爬了出去.

3:23 And Ehud went out the vestibule, and he closed the doors of the upper room and locked them behind him.
以笏出到走廊, 把凉楼上的门关起来, 上了锁.

3:24 After he left, his servants returned. When they saw that the doors of the upper room were locked, they thought, “Surely he is relieving himself in the cool inner room.”
以笏出来以后, 王的仆人才来到; 他们看见凉楼上的门锁着, 就说: “王一定是在凉楼上大解. ”

3:25 And they waited so long they became embarrassed because he did not open the doors of the upper room. So they took the key and opened the doors, and there their lord was lying on the ground dead.
他们等到发慌了, 见他还不打开凉楼的门, 就拿钥匙来开; 不料, 看见他们的主人早已倒在地上死了.

3:26 And Ehud escaped while they delayed. He passed by the sculptured stones and escaped to Seirah.
他们耽延的时候, 以笏已经逃跑了; 他经过众雕像那里, 逃到西伊拉去.

3:27 And when he arrived he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down from the hill country with him leading them.
他去到以后, 就在以法莲山地吹角; 以色列人与他一同从山地上下来, 他走在他们前头,

3:28 And he said to them, “Follow after me! Yahweh has given Moab your enemies into your hand.” So they went down after him, and they captured the fords of the Jordan toward Moab; and they did not allow anyone to cross over.
对他们说: “你们跟随我, 因为耶和华已经把你们的仇敌摩押人交在你们手中. ”他们就跟随他下去, 攻取约旦河的渡口, 拦截摩押人, 不让一个过去.

3:29 And they struck Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all strong and able men; no one escaped.
那时他们击杀了约有一万摩押人, 都是强壮的,勇猛的人, 没有一人逃脱.

3:30 And Moab was subdued on that day under the hand of Israel. And the land rested eighty years.
这样, 从那天起, 摩押就在以色列人的手下被制伏了, 于是国中太平了八十年.

3:31 And Shamgar son of Anath came after him, and he killed six hundred Philistines with the goad of an ox; he also delivered Israel.

她常坐在以法莲山地, 拉玛和伯特利之间那棵底波拉棕树下; 以色列人都上到她那里去听判断.

4:6 She sent and called for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh Naphtali and said to him, “Has not Yahweh the God of Israel commanded you? ‘Go, march to Mount Tabor, and take ten thousand men from the descendants of Naphtali and Zebulun.
底波拉派人去从拿弗他利的基低斯, 把亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉召了来, 对他说: “耶和华以色列的神不是曾吩咐你说: ‘你去向他泊山进军, 从拿弗他利人和西布伦人中率领一万人与你同去吗?

4:7 I will draw out Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and troops, to the wadi of Kishon, and I will give him into your hand.’ ”
我必引耶宾的军长西西拉, 和他的车辆与全军, 到基顺河往你那里去; 我必把他们交在你手里. ’”

巴拉对她说: “如果你与我同去, 我就去; 如果你不与我同去, 我就不去. ”

4:9 She said, “Surely I will go with you; however, there will be no glory for you in the path you are taking, for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” And Deborah stood up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
底波拉回答: “我必与你同去, 只是你这次行程就没有光荣; 因为耶和华要把西西拉交在一个妇人手里. ”于是底波拉起来, 与巴拉一同到基低斯去了.

4:10 Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and they went up behind him, ten thousand men, and Deborah went up with him.
巴拉就召集西布伦人和拿弗他利人到基低斯; 与他一同步行上去的有一万人, 底波拉也与他一同上去.

4:11 And Heber the Kenite was separated from the other Kenites, that is, from the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses. And he was encamped at Elon-bezaanannim, which is near Kedesh.
摩西的岳父何巴的子孙基尼人希伯, 曾经离开基尼族人, 到靠近基低斯的撒拿音的橡树旁, 支搭帐棚居住.

4:12 When they reported to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,
有人告诉西西拉, 亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉已经上了他泊山;

4:13 Sisera summoned all his chariots—all nine hundred chariots of iron—and the entire army that was with him from Harosheth Haggoyim to the wadi of Kishon.
西西拉就召集他所有的车辆, 就是九百辆铁车, 和与他在一起的众人, 都从夏罗设歌印出来, 到基顺河那里.

4:14 And Deborah said to Barak, “Get up! This is the day that Yahweh has given Sisera into your hand. Has Yahweh not gone out before you?” So Barak went out from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
底波拉对巴拉说: “你起来吧, 因为今日就是耶和华把西西拉交在你手里的日子; 耶和华不是在你前面出战吗? ”于是巴拉和跟随他的一万人从他泊山下来.

4:15 And Yahweh threw Sisera and all his chariots and army into confusion before the edge of Barak’s sword; and Sisera dismounted from his chariot and fled on foot.
耶和华用刀使西西拉和所有的车辆与全军, 都在巴拉面前溃乱; 西西拉下了车, 步行逃跑.

4:16 But Barak pursued after the chariots and army as far as Harosheth Haggoyim, and all of Sisera’s army fell to the edge of the sword; no one was left.
巴拉追赶西西拉的车辆和军队, 直到夏罗设歌印; 西西拉的全军都倒在刀下, 连一个也没有留下.

4:17 Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
只有西西拉步行逃跑, 到了基尼人希伯的妻子雅亿的帐棚那里; 因为夏琐王耶宾与基尼人希伯的家友好.

4:18 And Jael came out to meet Sisera, and she said to him, “Turn aside, my lord; turn aside to me and do not be afraid.” So he turned aside into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
雅亿出来迎接西西拉, 对他说: “请我主转过来, 到我这里, 不要惧怕. ”西西拉就转到她那里去, 就是转到她的帐棚里去; 雅亿就用毛毡遮盖他.

4:19 And he said to her, “Please, give me a drink of water, because I am thirsty.” So she opened a skin vessel of milk and gave him a drink and covered him.
西西拉对雅亿说: “请给我一点水喝, 因为我渴了. ”雅亿就打开盛奶的皮袋, 给他喝了, 再把他盖着.

4:20 And he said to her, “Stand at the doorway of the tent, and if anyone comes and asks you, and says, ‘Is there anyone here?’ You must answer, ‘No.’ ”
西西拉又对雅亿说: “请你站在帐棚门口, 如果有人来问你: ‘这里有人吗? ’你就要回答: ‘没有. ’”

4:21 But Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, took in her hand a tent peg and a hammer, and she went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went through into the ground; he was fast asleep since he was exhausted, and he died.
希伯的妻子雅亿取了一根帐棚的橛子, 手里拿着锤子, 静悄悄地走到西西拉那里, 把橛子钉在他的太阳穴里, 直钉入地里; 因为西西拉疲乏熟睡, 就这样死了.

4:22 And behold, Barak was pursuing Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him, and she said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And he came with her and saw that Sisera was lying dead with the peg in his temple.
那时, 巴拉追赶西西拉, 雅亿出来迎接他, 对他说: “来吧, 我给你看你寻找的人. ”他就进到她那里去; 看见西西拉已经仆倒, 死了; 橛子还在他的太阳穴里.

4:23 On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
这样, 神就在那一天, 在以色列人面前, 制伏了迦南王耶宾.

4:24 And the hand of the Israelites pressed harder and harder on Jabin king of Canaan, until they destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
以色列人的势力日渐强盛, 胜过迦南王耶宾, 终于把迦南王耶宾除灭.

Judges - Chapter 5

5:1 And Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang on that day:
那一天, 底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉唱起歌来说:

5:2 “When long hair hangs loosely in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless Yahweh!
“你们要称颂耶和华, 因为以色列中有勇士, 因为有人民自愿从军.

5:3 Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to Yahweh; I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
君王啊, 你们要听; 官长啊, 你们要侧耳倾听; 至于我, 我要向耶和华歌唱; 我要歌颂耶和华以色列的神.

5:4 Yahweh, when you went down from Seir, when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water.
耶和华啊, 你从西珥出发的时候, 你从以东地行走的日子, 地震天漏, 密云也滴下雨.

5:5 The mountains trembled before Yahweh, this Sinai, at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
群山在耶和华面前震动; 这西奈山在耶和华以色列的神面前也是这样.

5:6 “In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the caravans had ceased, the travelers, they kept to the byways.
在亚拿的儿子珊迦的时候, 在雅亿的日子, 大道无人行走, 行路的人绕道而行.

5:7 The warriors ceased; they failed to appear in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose; I arose as a mother in Israel.
以色列中的农村消失了, 消失了, 直到我底波拉兴起, 直到我以色列的母亲兴起.

5:8 God chose new leaders, then war was at the gates; a small shield or a spear was not seen among forty thousand in Israel.
以色列人选择了新的神, 战争就临近城门; 那时四万以色列人中, 竟不见有一面盾牌,一枝长矛.

5:9 My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel, those offering themselves willingly among the people; bless Yahweh!
我的心倾向以色列的官长, 他们在民中甘愿牺牲自己; 你们要称颂耶和华.

5:10 The riders of white female donkeys, those sitting on saddle blankets, and those going on the way, talk about it!
骑白驴的, 坐锦垫的, 和路上的行人, 你们都要歌唱.

5:11 At the sound of those dividing the sheep among the watering places, there they will recount the righteous deeds of Yahweh, the righteous deeds for his warriors in Israel. Then the people of Yahweh went down to the gates.
在打水的地方分开羊群的人发声, 在那里人必歌颂耶和华公义的作为, 就是他在以色列中的农村所行公义的作为; 那时, 耶和华的子民下到城门口.

5:12 “Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.
兴起, 兴起, 底波拉! 兴起, 兴起, 唱歌吧! 兴起, 巴拉! 亚比挪庵的儿子, 掳掠你的俘虏吧!

5:13 Then the remnant went down to the nobles; the people of Yahweh went down for him against the mighty.
那时余剩的贵胄下来; 耶和华带着勇士下到我这里来.

5:14 From Ephraim is their root into Amalek, after you, Benjamin, with your family; from Makir the commanders went down, and from Zebulun those carrying the scepter of the military commander.
他们出自以法莲, 他们的根在亚玛力人之地; 有便雅悯在你的族人中跟随你, 有官长从玛吉下来; 有持着数点民数之权杖的, 从西布伦出来.

5:15 And the chiefs in Issachar were with Deborah; and Issachar likewise was with Barak; into the valley he was sent to get him from behind. Among the clans of Reuben were great decisions of the heart.
以萨迦的领袖与底波拉在一起; 以萨迦怎样, 巴拉也怎样; 他们都步行下到山谷去. 在流本的众溪旁, 有心怀大志的.

5:16 Why do you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the calling sounds of the herds? For the clans of Reuben, there were great searchings of the heart.
你为什么坐在羊圈之中, 听呼唤群畜的笛声呢? 在流本的众溪旁, 有心怀大志的.

5:17 Gilead has remained beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan dwell as a foreigner with ships? Asher sat at the coast of the waters, and by his coves he has been settling down.
基列人在约旦河东边居住; 但人为什么居留在船上呢? 亚设人在海岸坐着, 在港湾居住.

5:18 Zebulun is a people who scorned death, and Naphtali, on the heights of the field.
西布伦人是敢死的民族; 拿弗他利人在田野的高处, 奋不顾身.

5:19 “The kings came, they fought; then the kings of Canaan fought; at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, they got no plunder in silver.
众王都来争战; 那时迦南众王争战, 在米吉多水亭的他纳争战, 却没有取得银钱.

5:20 The stars fought from heaven; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
众星从天上争战, 从它们的轨道与西西拉交战.

5:21 The wadi torrent of Kishon swept them away, the raging wadi torrent, the wadi torrent of Kishon. March on, my soul, with strength!
基顺河的急流把他们冲没, 古河的急流,基顺河的急流, 我的心哪, 你要努力践踏.

5:22 “Then the hooves of the horse beat loudly, because of galloping, galloping of his stallions.
那时马蹄沓沓, 勇士急奔飞驰.

5:23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of Yahweh; ‘curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to the help of Yahweh, to the help of Yahweh against the mighty.’
耶和华的使者说: ‘你们要咒诅米罗斯, 大大咒诅其中的居民; 因为他们不来帮助耶和华, 不带领勇士帮助耶和华. ’

5:24 “Most blessed of women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; most blessed is she of women among tent dwellers.
愿基尼人希伯的妻子雅亿, 比众妇女更有福气, 比住在帐棚的妇女更有福气.

5:25 He asked for water, and she gave milk; in a drinking bowl for nobles, she brought curds.
西西拉求水, 雅亿给了奶; 用珍贵的盘子奉上乳酪.

5:26 She reached out her hand to the peg, and her right hand for the workman’s hammer; and she struck Sisera, crushed his head, and she shattered and pierced his temple.
她伸手拿着帐棚的橛子, 右手拿着匠人的锤子, 击打西西拉, 打破他的头, 粉碎他的头颅, 贯穿他的鬓角.

5:27 Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay. Between her feet he sank down, he fell; Where he sank down, there he fell—dead.
西西拉在雅亿脚前屈身,仆倒,躺卧, 在雅亿脚前屈身,仆倒; 他在那里屈身, 就在那里仆倒死亡.

5:28 “Through the window she looked down; the mother of Sisera cried out through the lattice, ‘Why is his chariot delayed in coming? Why do the hoof beats of his chariot tarry?’
西西拉的母亲从窗户里向外观望, 从窗棂中呼叫说: ‘他的战车为什么迟迟不来呢? 车轮为什么行得缓慢呢? ’

5:29 The wisest of her ladies answer her; she also answers the question herself:
聪明的宫女回答她; 她也自己回答说:

5:30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the plunder? A bedmate or two bedmates for every man; colorful garments for Sisera, plunder of colorful garments, beautifully finished colorful garments, on the neck of the plunderer?’
‘莫非他们正在分战利品? 每个勇士分得一两个女子; 西西拉得了彩衣作战利品, 得了一两件绣花的彩衣作战利品, 为我的颈项, 得着绣花的彩衣作战利品吗? ’

5:31 So may all your enemies perish, O Yahweh, but those who love him are like the rising sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.
耶和华啊, 愿你所有的仇敌都这样灭亡; 愿爱他的人像太阳出现, 大有能力. ”于是国中太平了四十年.

Judges - Chapter 6

6:1 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh gave them into the hand of the Midianites for seven years.
以色列人又行了耶和华看为恶的事; 耶和华就把他们交在米甸人手里七年.

6:2 The hand of the Midianites prevailed over Israel; because of the presence of the Midianites, the Israelites made for themselves hiding places that were in the mountains, caves, and strongholds.
米甸人的势力胜过以色列人; 以色列人因米甸人的缘故, 就为自己在山上挖穴,挖洞, 建营寨.

6:3 And whenever Israel sowed seed, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the east would come up against them.
每逢以色列人撒种以后, 米甸人,亚玛力人和东方人都上来, 欺压他们;

6:4 They would camp against them and destroy the produce of the land as far as Gaza; they left no produce in Israel, or sheep, ox, or donkey.
对着他们安营, 毁坏那地的出产, 直到迦萨一带, 他们没有留下牛,羊和驴, 没有给以色列人留下一点养生之物.

6:5 For they, their livestock, and their tents would come up like a great number of locusts; they and their camels could not be counted; they came into the land and devoured it.
因为他们带着牲畜和帐棚上来, 像蝗虫那么多; 他们来的人和骆驼无数, 进入境内, 毁坏全地.

6:6 Israel was very poor because of the presence of the Midianites, and the Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
以色列人在米甸人面前, 落到极卑微的地步, 他们就哀求耶和华.

6:7 When the Israelites cried out to Yahweh on account of the Midianites,
以色列人因米甸人的缘故, 向耶和华呼求的时候,

6:8 Yahweh sent a prophet to the Israelites, and he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt; I brought you from the house of slavery.
耶和华就差派一位先知到以色列人那里, 对他们说: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘我曾经把你们从埃及领上来, 领你们出了为奴之家;

6:9 I delivered you from the hand of Egypt and from the hand of all your oppressors, and drove them out from before you; and I gave you their land.
我曾经把你们从埃及人的手拯救出来, 拯救你们脱离所有欺压你们的人的手, 把他们从你们面前赶走, 把他们的地赐给你们.

6:10 And I said to you, ‘I am Yahweh your God; do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.’ But you have not listened to my voice.”
我又对你们说: 我是耶和华你们的神; 你们住在亚摩利人的地, 不可敬畏他们的神. 但你们没有听从我的话. ’”

6:11 The angel of Yahweh came and sat under the oak that was at Ophrah that belonged to Jehoash the Abiezrite; and Gideon his son was threshing wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
耶和华的使者来到, 坐在俄弗拉, 一棵属于亚比以谢族人约阿施的橡树下; 约阿施的儿子基甸正在压酒池里打麦子, 为要躲避米甸人的抢夺.

6:12 The angel of Yahweh appeared to him and said to him, “Yahweh is with you, you mighty warrior.”
耶和华的使者向基甸显现, 对他说: “大能的勇士啊, 耶和华与你同在. ”

6:13 Gideon said to him, “Excuse me, my lord. If Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonderful deeds that our ancestors recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has forsaken us; he has given us into the palm of Midian.”
基甸回答他, 说: “唉, 我的主, 如果耶和华与我们同在, 我们怎会遭遇这一切事呢? 我们的列祖向我们讲述的, 耶和华的一切奇事在哪里呢? 他们曾说: ‘耶和华不是把我们从埃及领上来吗? ’现在他却拋弃了我们, 把我们交在米甸人手中! ”

6:14 And Yahweh turned to him and said, “Go in this your strength, and you will deliver Israel from the palm of Midian. Did I not send you?”
耶和华转向基甸, 对他说: “你靠着你这能力, 去拯救以色列人脱离米甸人的手吧; 我不是差派了你吗? ”

6:15 He said to him, “Excuse me, my lord. How will I deliver Israel? Look, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.”
基甸对他说: “唉, 我主啊, 我凭着什么拯救以色列人呢? 看哪, 我的家族在玛拿西支派中是最卑微的, 我在我的父家是最年轻的. ”

6:16 And Yahweh said to him, “But I will be with you, and you will defeat Midian as if they are one man.”
耶和华对他说: “因为我必与你同在, 你就必击打米甸人, 像击打一人一样. ”

6:17 And he said to him, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, show me a sign that you are speaking with me.
基甸又对他说: “如果我在你眼前蒙恩, 求你给我一个凭据, 证实是你与我说话.

6:18 Please, do not depart from here until I come back to you and bring out my gift and set it out before you.” And he said, “I will stay until you return.”
求你不要离开这里, 等我回来, 把我的礼物带来, 摆在你面前. ”他回答: “我必等你回来. ”

6:19 And Gideon went and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; he put meat in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and he brought them to him under the oak and presented them.
基甸去预备了一只山羊羔, 和十公斤面粉做的无酵饼, 把肉放在篮子里, 把汤盛在锅中, 带到橡树之下, 献上给他.

6:20 The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes and put them on this rock; pour the broth over it.” And he did so.
神的使者对基甸说: “把肉和无酵饼拿出来, 摆在这块磐石上, 把汤倒出来. ”他就这样行了.

6:21 Then the angel of Yahweh reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and he touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire went up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of Yahweh went from his sight.
耶和华的使者伸出手中的杖, 杖头一触着肉和无酵饼, 就有火从磐石中上来, 把肉和无酵饼都烧尽了; 耶和华的使者就从基甸的眼前消失了.

6:22 And Gideon realized that he was the angel of Yahweh; and Gideon said, “Oh, my lord Yahweh! For now I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face.”
基甸看出他是耶和华的使者, 就说: “哀哉, 我主耶和华啊, 因为我面对面看见了耶和华的使者. ”

6:23 And Yahweh said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not fear; you will not die.”
耶和华对他说: “你放心好了, 不要怕, 你必不会死. ”

6:24 And Gideon built there an altar to Yahweh, and he called it “Yahweh is peace.” To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
基甸就在那里给耶和华筑了一座祭坛, 称为耶和华沙龙; 直到今日, 这坛还在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉.

6:25 Now on that same night Yahweh said to him, “Take the bull of the cattle that belongs to your father, and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;
当夜, 耶和华对基甸说: “取你父亲的牛和另一头七岁大的牛来, 拆毁你父亲的巴力祭坛, 砍下坛旁的亚舍拉.

6:26 and build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this stronghold in the proper arrangement, and take a second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you will cut down.
在这坚固的地方上面, 你要整整齐齐为耶和华你的神筑一座祭坛, 拿第二头牛作燔祭, 用你砍下来的亚舍拉作柴. ”

6:27 Gideon took ten men from his servants, and he did just as Yahweh told him; and because he was too afraid of his father’s family and the men of the city to do it during the day, he did it during night.
基甸就从他的仆人中选出了十个人, 照着耶和华告诉他的行了; 但因为害怕他的父家和城里的人, 就不敢在日间行事, 只好在晚上作了.

6:28 When the men of the city got up early in the morning, look, the altar of Baal and the Asherah that was beside it were cut down, and the second bull was offered on the altar that had been built.
城里的人清早起来, 见巴力的祭坛已被拆毁, 坛旁的亚舍拉也被砍下来, 并且看见那第二头牛献在新筑的祭坛上的时候,

6:29 And they said to one another, “Who did this thing?” So they searched and inquired, and they said, “Gideon son of Jehoash did this thing.”
就彼此说: “谁作了这事呢? ”他们追查寻访之后, 就说: “是约阿施的儿子基甸作的. ”

6:30 And the men of the city said to Jehoash, “Bring out your son so that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah that was beside it.”
城里的人对约阿施说: “把你的儿子领出来, 把他处死, 因为他拆毁了巴力的祭坛, 砍下了坛旁的亚舍拉. ”

6:31 But Jehoash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Will you rescue him? Whoever contends for him will be put to death by the morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself because his altar has been pulled down.”
约阿施对所有站着攻击他的人说: “你们要为巴力辩护吗? 或是你们要救他呢? 谁为他辩护, 到早晨就必死亡. 巴力若是神, 有人拆毁了他的祭坛, 就让他为自己辩护吧. ”

6:32 Thus, on that day he was called Jerub-Baal, which means, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he had pulled down his altar.
因此, 当日基甸被称为耶路．巴力, 意思说: 他拆毁了巴力的祭坛, 让巴力与他争辩吧.

6:33 Then all the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the east gathered together and crossed the Jordan; and they camped in the valley of Jezreel.
那时, 米甸人,亚玛力人和东方人, 都聚集起来, 过了河, 在耶斯列平原安营.

6:34 So the Spirit of Yahweh took possession of Gideon, and he blew on the trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called to follow him.
耶和华的灵降在基甸身上, 他就吹角; 亚比以谢族都应召来跟从他.

6:35 He sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and they were also called to follow him; and he sent messengers throughout Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they went up to meet them.
他派使者到玛拿西全地去, 玛拿西人也都应召来跟从他; 他又派使者到亚设,西布伦,拿弗他利去, 他们也都上来与他们会合.

6:36 Then Gideon said to God, “In order to see that you will deliver Israel by my hand, just as you have said,
基甸对神说: “如果你按着你所说的, 要借着我的手拯救以色列人;

6:37 I will place a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and all of the ground is dry, I will know that you will deliver Israel by my hand, just as you have said.”
看哪, 我要把一团新剪的羊毛放在禾场上; 露水若是单单落在羊毛上, 而全地都是干的, 我就知道你要照着你所说的, 借着我的手拯救以色列了. ”

6:38 And it was so. He arose early the next day and squeezed the fleece, and he wrung out dew from the fleece, a full drinking bowl of water.
第二天, 基甸清早起来, 情形果然是这样; 他把羊毛一挤, 就从羊毛中挤出一满盆的露水来.

6:39 And Gideon said to God, “Do not let your anger burn against me; let me speak once more. Please let me test once more with the fleece; let the fleece be dry, and let there be dew on the ground.”
基甸又对神说: “求你不要向我发怒, 我要再说这一次; 求你让我把羊毛再试一试, 但愿单单羊毛是干的, 而全地都有露水. ”

6:40 And God did so that night; only the fleece was dry, and dew was on all the ground.
那一夜, 神也这样行了; 单单羊毛是干的, 全地都有露水.

Judges - Chapter 7

7:1 Then Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) rose early, and all the army that was with him. They were camped beside the spring of Harod; the camp of Midian was north of the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
耶路．巴力, 就是基甸, 和所有与他在一起的人, 清早起来, 在哈律泉旁安营; 米甸营就在他们的北面, 靠近摩利山冈的平原上.

7:2 And Yahweh said to Gideon, “The troops that are with you are too many for me to give Midian into their hands; Israel will boast, saying, ‘My hand has delivered me.’
耶和华对基甸说: “与你在一起的人太多, 我不能把米甸人交在你们手中, 免得以色列人向我自夸: ‘是我们自己的手救了我们. ’

7:3 So then, please proclaim in the hearing of the troops, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from the Mount of Gilead.’ ” About twenty-two thousand troops returned, and ten thousand remained.
现在你要向众民宣告: ‘害怕战栗的, 可以回去, 离开基列山. ’”于是众民中有二万二千人回去, 只剩下一万人.

7:4 And Yahweh said to Gideon, “There are still too many troops; bring them down to the water, and I will sift through them for you there. For whomever I say to you, ‘This one will go with you,’ he will go with you; and for all whom I say to you, ‘This one will not go with you,’ he will not go.”
耶和华对基甸说: “人还是太多, 你要领他们下到水旁去, 我要在那里为你试验他们. 我指着谁对你说: ‘这人可以与你同去’, 他就可以与你同去; 我指着谁对你说: ‘这人不可以与你同去’, 他就不可以与你同去. ”

7:5 So he brought down the troops to the water, and Yahweh said to Gideon, “You must separate everyone who laps up the water to drink with his tongue like a dog from those who kneel.”
于是基甸带他们下到水边去; 耶和华对基甸说: “用舌头舔水, 像狗舔水的, 你要把他们安置在一处; 屈膝跪下喝水的, 也要把他们安置在一处. ”

7:6 The number of those lapping up the water with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; all the rest of the troops kneeled to drink the water.
用手捧到嘴边舔水的, 总数共有三百人; 其余的人都屈膝跪下喝水.

7:7 And Yahweh said to Gideon, “I will deliver you with the three hundred men lapping up the water; I will give Midian into your hand, so let the other troops go, each to his own place.
耶和华对基甸说: “我要用这舔水的三百人拯救你们, 把米甸人交在你们的手里, 所有其他的人都可以各回自己的地方去. ”

7:8 So they took their provisions and their trumpets into their hand, and he sent all the men of Israel, each one, to his tent; but three hundred of the men he kept; the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.
于是众民手里拿着食物和号角; 所有其他的以色列人, 基甸都打发他们各回自己的帐棚去, 只留下这三百人. 当时米甸营就在他们下面的平原里.

7:9 And that night Yahweh said to him, “Get up; go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand.
当夜, 耶和华对基甸说: “起来, 下去攻营, 因为我已经把他们交在你手里了.

7:10 But if you are afraid, go down to the camp with Purah your servant,
如果你害怕一人下去, 可以带着你的童仆普拉一同下到营地那里去;

7:11 and you will hear what they say; and afterward you will have courage, and you will go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men that were in the camp.
你要听听他们说什么, 然后你的手就必坚强起来, 有胆量下去攻营了. ”于是基甸带着他的童仆普拉一同下去, 到营中驻军的边缘.

7:12 Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and all the people of the east were lying in the valley, like a great multitude of locusts; their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand that is on the shore of the sea.
那时米甸人,亚玛力人和所有的东方人, 都散布在平原上, 好像蝗虫那么多; 他们的骆驼无数, 好像海边的沙那么多.

7:13 When Gideon came, a man was recounting a dream to his friend, and he said, “Behold, I had a dream; a round loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came up to the tent, it struck it, and it fell and turned it upside down so that the tent fell.”
基甸到了, 就听见一个人正在把他的梦告诉他的同伴, 说: “我作了一个梦, 梦见一个大麦饼滚入米甸营中, 到了帐幕, 把帐幕撞倒, 帐幕就翻转朝上了. ”

7:14 His friend answered him and said, “This cannot be anything except the sword of Gideon son of Jehoash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and the entire camp into his hand.”
他的同伴回答: “这不是别的, 这是以色列人约阿施的儿子基甸的刀; 神已经把米甸和全营交在他手中了. ”

7:15 When Gideon heard the recounting of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed down and returned to the camp of Israel; and he said, “Get up, for Yahweh has given the camp of Midian into your hand.”
基甸听见了这梦的叙述和梦的讲解, 就敬拜神; 然后返回以色列营中, 说: “起来, 因为耶和华已经把米甸的军队交在你们手里了. ”

7:16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty jars in everyone’s hand, with torches inside the jars.
于是他把三百人分作三队, 把角和空瓶交在各人手里, 又把火把放在瓶里.

7:17 And he said to them, “Watch me and do the same. When I come to the edge of the camp, do just as I do.
然后对他们说: “你们要看着我, 也要照样行事. 注意! 我到了营的边缘, 我怎样行事, 你们也要怎样行事.

7:18 When I and all who are with me blow on the trumpet, you must also blow on the trumpets and surround the camp, and you must say, ‘To Yahweh and to Gideon!’ ”
我和所有与我在一起的人吹角的时候, 你们也要在全营的四周吹角, 喊叫说: ‘为耶和华! 为基甸! ’”

7:19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle night-watch, when they had just finished setting up the guards, and they blew on the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.
基甸和所有与他在一起的一百人, 在半夜三更的起初, 换更的时候, 来到了营的边缘, 就吹起角来, 打破手中的瓦瓶.

7:20 When three companies blew on the trumpets and broke the jars, they held in their left hand the torches and in their right hand the trumpets for blowing, and they cried, “A sword for Yahweh and for Gideon!”
三队的人就都吹角, 打破瓦瓶, 左手紧握着火把, 右手紧握着角不住地吹, 并且喊叫说: “耶和华和基甸的刀! ”

7:21 And each stood in his place all around the camp, and all the camp ran, and they cried out as they fled.
他们在营的四周各站在自己的位置; 全营的人都乱跑, 他们一面叫喊, 一面逃跑.

7:22 When they blew the three hundred trumpets, Yahweh set the sword of each one against his neighbor throughout the whole camp, and the camp fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, up to Abel Meholah, the border by Tabbath.
三百人吹那三百枝角的时候, 耶和华使全营的人用刀互相击杀, 然后他们向着西利拉逃到伯．哈示他, 直到靠近他巴的亚伯．米何拉河边.

7:23 And the men of Israel were called from Naphtali, from Asher, and from all of Manasseh, and they pursued after Midian.
以色列人就从拿弗他利,亚设和玛拿西全地被召来, 追赶米甸人.

7:24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to oppose Midian, and capture from them the waters up to Beth Barah and the Jordan.” He called out all the men of Ephraim, and they captured the waters up to Beth Barah and the Jordan.
基甸派遣了使者走遍以法莲山地, 说: “你们要下来迎战米甸人, 在他们前面把守约旦河的渡口, 直到伯．巴拉. ”于是以法莲的人都被召来, 把守约旦河的渡口, 直到伯．巴拉.

7:25 And they captured the two commanders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb, while they chased Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from beyond the Jordan.
他们捉住了米甸人的两个首领: 俄立和西伊伯; 把俄立杀在俄立磐石上, 把西伊伯杀在西伊伯榨酒池那里; 然后追赶米甸人, 又把俄立和西伊伯的人头带到约旦河对岸, 基甸那里.

Judges - Chapter 8

8:1 The men of Ephraim said to him, “What is this thing you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight against the Midianites?” And they quarreled with him severely.
以法莲人对基甸说: “你去与米甸人争战的时候, 没有召我们同去, 你为什么这样待我们呢? ”他们就与他激烈地争辩起来.

8:2 And he said to them, “What I have done now in comparison with you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?
基甸对他们说: “我所行的怎能比得上你们呢? 在以法莲拾取剩下的葡萄, 不是比在亚比以谢收摘的葡萄更好吗?

8:3 God has given into your hand the commanders of Midian, Oreb, and Zeeb. What have I been able to do in comparison with you?” And their anger against him subsided when he said that.
神已经把米甸人的两个首领: 俄立和西伊伯, 交在你们的手里了; 我所行的怎能与你们相比呢? ”基甸说了这话, 他们的怒气就平息了.

8:4 Then Gideon came to the Jordan, crossing it with the three hundred men who were with him, weary and pursuing.
基甸来到约旦河, 就过了河; 他和与他在一起的三百人虽然都很疲乏, 仍然追赶敌人.

8:5 He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
基甸对疏割人说: “求你们把几个饼给跟随我的人吃, 因为他们疲乏了, 我还要继续追赶米甸人和两个王西巴和撒慕拿. ”

8:6 The officials of Succoth said, “Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna in your hand now, that we should give bread to your army?”
疏割人的首领回答: “西巴和撒慕拿现在不是已经在你的手里吗? 我们应该把饼送给你的军队吃吗? ”

8:7 Gideon said, “Well then, when Yahweh gives Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will trample your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness.”
基甸说: “好吧, 耶和华把西巴和撒慕拿交在我手里的时候, 我就必用野地的荆棘鞭打你们的身体. ”

8:8 He went from there to Penuel, and he spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth answered.
基甸从那里上到毗努伊勒, 也向他们说了同样的话; 毗努伊勒人回答他也像疏割人回答的一样.

8:9 And he said also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I return safely, I will tear down this tower.”
他亦对毗努伊勒人说: “我平平安安回来的时候, 我必拆毁这座望楼. ”

8:10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men remained from the entire army of the people of the east; those that fell in battle were one hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen.
那时, 西巴和撒慕拿正在加各, 与他们在一起的军队约有一万五千人, 就是东方人全营剩下的, 因为有十二万持刀的已经倒下了.

8:11 And Gideon went up the route of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked the army when it was off its guard.
基甸就从挪巴和约比哈东面, 顺着住帐棚的人的路上去; 在敌军以为安全而不戒备的时候, 击败了敌军.

8:12 And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued them and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he routed the entire army.
西巴和撒慕拿逃跑; 基甸追赶他们, 捉住了米甸人的两个王西巴和撒慕拿, 使全军都惊惶.

8:13 Then Gideon son of Jehoash returned from the battle by way of the ascent of Heres.
约阿施的儿子基甸从战场沿着希列斯的山坡回来,

8:14 He captured a young man from Succoth and questioned him. The young man listed for him the commanders of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven men.
捉住了疏割人中的一个青年人, 查问他; 他就把疏割的首领和长老的名字写给他, 共七十七人.

8:15 He came to the men of Succoth, and he said, “Here is Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Is the palm of Zebah and Zalmunna in your hand now, that we should give food to your weary men?’ ”
基甸到了疏割人那里, 就说: “你看, 西巴和撒慕拿, 你们为了他们曾经讥笑我说: ‘西巴和撒慕拿现在不是在你的手里吗? 我们应该把饼送给你那些疲乏的人吃吗? ’”

8:16 He took the elders of the city and the thorn bushes and briers of the wilderness, and he trampled the men of Succoth with them.
于是拿住那城的长老, 又拿起野地的荆棘, 用荆棘把疏割人教训了一顿;

8:17 He broke down the tower of Penuel, and he killed the men of the city.
又拆毁了毗努伊勒的望楼, 杀死了那城里的人.

8:18 And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What type were the men whom you killed at Tabor?” And they said, “They were like you; each one of them had the appearance of the sons of the king.”
基甸问西巴和撒慕拿: “你们在他泊山上所杀的人, 是什么模样的人? ”他们回答: “他们像你一样, 每一个都像王子的模样. ”

8:19 He said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As Yahweh lives, if you had kept them alive I would not kill you.”
基甸说: “他们是我的兄弟, 是我母亲的儿子; 我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 如果你们从前让他们存活, 我现在就不杀你们了. ”

8:20 And he said to Jether, his firstborn, “Get up, kill them.” But the boy did not draw his sword, for he was afraid because he was still a boy.
于是对他的长子益帖说: “起来, 把他们杀了吧. ”但是那孩子不敢拔刀, 只是害怕, 因为他还是个孩子.

8:21 Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up yourself, and strike us, for as is the man, so is his power.” So Gideon got up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
西巴和撒慕拿说: “你亲自起来杀我们吧; 因为人怎样, 他的力量也怎样. ”于是基甸起来, 把西巴和撒慕拿杀了, 拿了他们骆驼颈项上的月牙圈.

8:22 The men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you and your sons, and your sons’ son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.
以色列人对基甸说: “你既然拯救我们脱离了米甸人的手, 求你和你的子孙统治我们. ”

8:23 But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; Yahweh will rule over you.”
基甸回答他们: “我不统治你们, 我的子孙也不统治你们, 唯有耶和华统治你们. ”

8:24 And Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give to me an ornamental ring from his plunder.” (They had ornamental rings of gold, because they were Ishmaelites.)
基甸又对他们说: “我有一个要求: 请把你们各人夺得的耳环给我. ”原来敌人都戴金耳环, 因为他们是以实玛利人.

8:25 They said, “We will gladly give them,” and they spread out a garment, and everyone threw there an ornamental ring of his plunder.
他们回答: “我们愿意给你. ”于是铺开一件外衣, 各人把夺得的耳环丢在上面.

8:26 The weight of the ornamental rings of gold that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, apart from the crescents, pendants, and purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and apart from the pendants that were on the necks of their camels.
基甸所要的金耳环, 共重约二十公斤金子, 此外还有米甸王身上的月牙圈,耳坠和紫红色的衣服, 另外还有骆驼颈项上的链子.

8:27 Gideon made an ephod out of it, and he put it in his town in Ophrah, and all Israel prostituted themselves to it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.
基甸用这些金子做了一个以弗得, 安置在他的城俄弗拉; 后来以色列众人都在那里随从以弗得行了邪淫, 因此这就成了基甸和他全家的网罗.

8:28 And Midian was subdued before the Israelites, and they did not again lift up their head, and the land rested for forty years in the days of Gideon.
这样, 米甸人在以色列人面前就被制伏了, 不能再抬起头来; 基甸在世的日子, 国中太平了四十年.

8:29 Jerub-Baal son of Joash lived in his own house.
约阿施的儿子耶路．巴力回去, 住在自己家里.

8:30 Now Gideon had seventy sons, his own offspring, for he had many wives.
基甸有七十个儿子, 都是他亲生的, 因为他有很多妻子.

8:31 His concubine who was in Shechem also bore for him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
他在示剑的妾, 也给他生了一个儿子, 他给他起名叫亚比米勒.

8:32 And Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age, and he was buried in the tomb of Jehoash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
约阿施的儿子基甸寿数满足而死, 埋葬在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉, 在他父亲约阿施的坟墓里.

8:33 And it happened, as soon as Gideon died, the Israelites returned and prostituted themselves after the Baals, and they made for themselves Baal-Berith as god.
基甸死了以后, 以色列人又转去随从众巴力, 行邪淫, 并且以巴力．比利土作他们的神.

8:34 The Israelites did not remember Yahweh their God, who had delivered them from the hand of their enemies from all around,
以色列人忘记了耶和华他们的神, 就是曾经拯救他们脱离四围仇敌之手的那位;

8:35 nor did they show favor to the house of Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) in accordance with all the good that he did for Israel.
也没有照着基甸向以色列人所施的一切恩惠, 恩待耶路．巴力, 就是基甸的家.

Judges - Chapter 9

9:1 And Abimelech son of Jerub-Baal went to Shechem, to the relatives of his mother, and he said to them and to the house of his mother’s father,
耶路．巴力的儿子亚比米勒, 到示剑去见他的众母舅, 对他们和他母亲的全体族人说:

9:2 “Speak to the lords of Shechem, ‘What is better for you, that seventy men all from the sons of Jerub-Baal rule over you, or that one man rules over you?’ Remember that I am your bone and your flesh.”
“请你们给示剑的众人说: ‘是耶路．巴力的众子七十人都统治你们好呢? 还是一个人统治你们好呢? ’你们也要记得我是你们的骨肉. ”

9:3 And his mother’s relatives spoke all these words concerning him to all the lords of Shechem; and they supported Abimelech, for they said, “He is our relative.”
他的众母舅就把这一切话为他说给示剑的众人听; 他们的心都倾向亚比米勒, 因为他们说: “他本是我们的亲族. ”

9:4 And they gave to him seventy pieces of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hired with them worthless and reckless men, and they followed him.
他们就从巴力．比利土的庙里, 取了八百克银子给亚比米勒, 亚比米勒用这些银子雇了一些无赖流氓, 那些人就跟随了他.

9:5 And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and he killed his brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal, seventy men, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerub-Baal survived, because he hid himself.
他回到俄弗拉他父亲的家, 把自己的兄弟, 耶路．巴力的众子七十人, 都杀在一块石头上; 只剩下耶路．巴力的小儿子约坦, 因为他藏了起来.

9:6 All the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo gathered, and they went and made Abimelech as king, near the oak of the pillar that is at Shechem.
示剑的众人和伯特米罗人都聚集起来, 到示剑橡树旁的望楼那里, 立亚比米勒为王.

9:7 And they told Jotham, and he went up and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and he cried out loud and said to them, “Listen to me, lords of Shechem, so that God may listen to you.
有人把这事告诉了约坦, 约坦就去, 站在基利心山顶上, 高声向他们呼喊, 说: “示剑人哪, 你们要听我的话, 神也就听你们的话.

9:8 “The trees went certainly, to anoint a king over themselves. And they said to the olive tree, ‘Rule over us.’
有一次, 众树要去膏立一个王统治它们, 就对橄榄树说: ‘请你作王统治我们吧. ’

9:9 And the olive tree replied, ‘Should I stop producing my oil, which by me gods and men are honored, to go sway over the trees?’
橄榄树对它们说: ‘我怎可以放弃生产人用来荣耀神和尊崇人的油, 飘摇在众树之上呢? ’

9:10 Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘You, come rule over us.’
众树对无花果树说: ‘请你来作王统治我们吧. ’

9:11 But the fig tree said to them, ‘Should I stop producing my sweetness, and my good crop, to go sway over the trees?’
无花果树对它们说: ‘我怎可以放弃结出我的甜美果子, 飘摇在众树之上呢? ’

9:12 And the trees said to the vine, ‘You, come rule over us.’
众树对葡萄树说: ‘请你来作王统治我们吧. ’

9:13 But the vine said to them, ‘Should I stop producing my wine that makes the gods and men happy, to go sway over the trees?’
葡萄树对它们说: ‘我怎可以放弃生产那使神和世人都喜乐的新酒, 飘摇在众树之上呢? ’

9:14 So all the trees said to the thornbush, ‘You, come rule over us.’
于是众树都对荆棘说: ‘请你来作王统治我们吧. ’

9:15 And the thornbush said to the trees, ‘If in good faith you are anointing me as king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; if not, may fire go out from the thornbush and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’
荆棘对众树说: ‘如果你们真诚地膏立我作王统治你们, 就要来, 投靠在我的荫下; 否则, 火必从荆棘里出来, 吞灭黎巴嫩的香柏树. ’

9:16 “So then, if you have acted in good faith and sincerity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerub-Baal and his house, and have dealt with him according to his accomplishments—
“现在你们立亚比米勒为王, 你们若是诚实和正直, 如果你们善待耶路．巴力和他的家, 照着他手所作的待他;

9:17 for my father fought and risked his life for you and delivered you from the hand of Midian;
我父亲从前冒死为你们争战, 把你们从米甸人手中救了出来;

9:18 but today you have risen against the house of my father and killed his sons, seventy men on one stone, and you have made Abimelech, the son of his slave woman, a king over the lords of Shechem, because he is your relative—
今日你们竟起来攻击我的父家, 在一块石头上杀了他七十个儿子, 又立了他的婢女所生的儿子亚比米勒作示剑人的王, 因为他原是你们的亲族.

9:19 if you have acted in good faith and sincerity with Jerub-Baal and his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.
今日你们若是按着诚实和正直待耶路．巴力和他的家, 你们就可以因亚比米勒得喜乐, 亚比米勒也可以因你们得喜乐.

9:20 But if not, let a fire come out from Abimelech and let it devour the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo; and let a fire come out from the lords of Shechem, and from Beth-Millo, and let it devour Abimelech.”
若不是这样, 愿火从亚比米勒出来, 吞灭示剑人和伯特米罗人; 又愿火从示剑人和伯特米罗人出来, 吞灭亚比米勒. ”

9:21 And Jotham escaped and fled, and went to Beer; he remained there because of Abimelech his brother.
接着约坦就逃跑了; 他逃到比珥去, 住在那里, 躲避他的兄弟亚比米勒.

9:22 Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.
亚比米勒治理以色列人三年.

9:23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the lords of Shechem, and the lords of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,
神差派邪恶的灵来到亚比米勒与示剑人中间, 示剑人就背弃了亚比米勒.

9:24 so that the violence done to the seventy brothers of Abimelech would be avenged and their blood be placed on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the lords of Shechem, who helped to kill his brothers.
这是要报复对耶路．巴力七十个儿子的暴行, 把流他们血的罪归到他们的兄弟亚比米勒身上, 就是那杀害他们的; 也归到示剑人身上, 就是那些帮助亚比米勒去杀他自己的兄弟的.

9:25 And the lords of Shechem set for him ambushes on the top of the mountains, and they robbed all who passed by them along the road; and it was reported to Abimelech.
示剑人在山顶上设下埋伏, 路过他们那里的, 他们都劫掠; 有人把这事告诉亚比米勒.

9:26 And Gaal son of Ebel and his relatives came, and they crossed over into Shechem, and the lords of Shechem gave him confidence.
那时, 以别的儿子迦勒与他的兄弟都来了, 到示剑去, 示剑人竟信任他.

9:27 They went out into the field and harvested their vineyards and trod them, and they held a festival. And they went into the temple of their god, and they ate and drank and cursed Abimelech.
他们出到田间去, 收取葡萄, 榨酒, 举行庆祝会, 进入他们的神庙吃喝, 并且咒诅亚比米勒.

9:28 Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who are we of Shechem that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerub-Baal, and is not Zebul his chief officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem. Why should we serve him?
以别的儿子迦勒说: “亚比米勒是谁? 示剑是谁? 竟要我们服事他呢? 他不是耶路．巴力的儿子吗? 他的副官不是西布勒吗? 你们要服事示剑的始祖哈抹的后人啊; 我们为什么要服事亚比米勒呢?

9:29 If only this people were in my command! Then I would remove Abimelech, and I would have said, ‘Increase your army and come out!’ ”
但愿这些人民都归在我手下, 我好把亚比米勒除掉. ”迦勒又对亚比米勒说: “增添你的军队出来吧! ”

9:30 When Zebul the commander of the city heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, he became angry,
那城的首长西布勒听了以别的儿子迦勒的话, 他的怒气就发作,

9:31 and he sent messengers to Abimelech in Tormah, saying, “Look, Gaal son of Ebed and his relatives are coming to Shechem, and they are stirring up the city against you.
秘密差派使者去见亚比米勒, 说: “以别的儿子迦勒和他的兄弟已经到了示剑, 他们正在煽动那城的人反叛你.

9:32 So then, get up by night, you and the army that is with you, and lie in ambush in the field.
现在, 你和与你在一起的人, 要在夜间起来, 在野地埋伏.

9:33 And in the morning at sunrise, get up and rush the city; and look, when he and the troops who are with him come out to you, you must act according to whatever opportunity offers itself.
到了早晨, 太阳出来的时候, 你就要起来攻城; 你要注意, 迦勒和与他在一起的人出来对抗你的时候, 你就把握机会对付他们. ”

9:34 So Abimelech and all the army that was with him got up by night, and they lay in ambush against Shechem in four divisions.
于是亚比米勒和与他在一起的人, 都在夜间起来, 分作四队, 埋伏着等候示剑人.

9:35 Gaal son of Ebed went out and stood at the entrance of the city gate, and Abimelech and the army that was with him got up from the ambush.
以别的儿子迦勒出去, 站在城门口; 亚比米勒和与他在一起的人, 从埋伏的地方起来.

9:36 When Gaal saw the army, he said to Zebul, “Look, people are coming down from the top of the mountains!” And Zebul said to him, “The shadows of the mountains look like people to you.”
迦勒看见了那些人, 就对西布勒说: “你看, 有人从山顶上下来. ”西布勒说: “你看见山的影子以为是人. ”

9:37 And Gaal spoke again and said, “Look, people are coming down from Tabbur-erez, and one division is coming from the direction of Elon-meonenim.”
迦勒又说: “看哪, 有人从高地下来, 又有一队从米恶尼尼橡树的路径而来. ”

9:38 And Zebul said to him, “Where then is your boast, you who said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the army that you rejected? Please, go out now and fight against them.”
西布勒对他说: “你曾经说过: ‘亚比米勒是谁, 竟要我们服事他呢? ’现在你说这话的嘴在哪里呢? 这不是你轻视的人吗? 现在请你出去与他们交战吧. ”

9:39 So Gaal went out before the lords of Shechem and fought against Abimelech.
于是迦勒在示剑人面前出去, 与亚比米勒争战.

9:40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; many fell slain up to the entrance of the gate.
亚比米勒追赶迦勒, 迦勒在他面前逃跑, 直到城门口, 有很多受伤的人仆倒.

9:41 So Abimelech resided at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives from living in Shechem.
亚比米勒住在亚鲁玛; 西布勒把迦勒和他的兄弟赶走, 不许他们住在示剑.

9:42 On the next day the people went out to the field; and it was reported to Abimelech,
次日, 城中众人出到田间去, 有人把这事告诉亚比米勒.

9:43 so he took the army and divided them into three divisions, and he laid an ambush in the field. And he saw the people were coming out from the city, and he arose against them and killed them.
亚比米勒就把他的人分作三队, 埋伏在田间; 他在那里观看, 见有人从城里出来, 就起来攻击他们, 把他们击杀了.

9:44 Then Abimelech and the divisions that were with him dashed out and stood at the entrance of the city gate, and the two divisions dashed out against all who were in the field, and they killed them.
亚比米勒和与他在一起的一队人忽然冲过去, 站在城门口; 其他两队人也冲出来攻打所有在田间的人, 把他们击杀了.

9:45 Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he captured the city and killed the people that were in it; then he broke down the city and sowed it with salt.
那一天, 亚比米勒整天攻打那城, 把城攻下了, 杀了城中的众人; 把城拆毁, 又撒上盐.

9:46 When all the lords of the tower of Shechem heard, they went to the vault of the temple of El-Berith.
示剑楼的众人听见了这事, 就逃入伊勒．比利土庙的地穴里.

9:47 It was told to Abimelech that all the lords of the tower of Shechem had gathered.
有人告诉亚比米勒, 说: “示剑楼所有的人都聚集在一起. ”

9:48 So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all his army that were with him, and Abimelech took the ax in his hand and cut down a bundle of brushwood, and he lifted it and put it on his shoulder. And he said to the army that was with him, “What you have seen me do, quickly do also.”
亚比米勒和与他在一起的人都上了撒们山; 亚比米勒手里拿着斧子, 砍下一根树枝, 拿起来放在自己的肩头上, 然后对与他在一起的人说: “你们看我作什么, 你们也要赶快照样作. ”

9:49 So the whole army cut down each one branch for himself and followed Abimelech, and they put them against the vault and set the vault ablaze with fire on those inside, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women.
于是众人也各自砍下一根树枝, 跟随着亚比米勒, 把树枝放在地穴上, 放火烧了地穴, 以致示剑楼的人都死了, 男女约有一千人.

9:50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he encamped against Thebez and captured it.
后来亚比米勒到提备斯去, 安营攻打提备斯, 攻取了那城.

9:51 But there was a strong tower in the middle of the city, and all the men, women, and lords of the city fled there and shut themselves in; and they went up to the roof of the tower.
城中有一座坚固的城楼; 那城所有的人, 无论男女, 都逃到那里去, 关上门, 上了楼顶.

9:52 Abimelech came up to the tower and fought against it, and he came near the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.
亚比米勒到了城楼前, 攻打城楼; 他走近城楼门口, 要用火焚烧.

9:53 But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head and cracked open his skull.
有一个妇人把一块上磨石拋在亚比米勒的头上, 打破了他的头盖骨.

9:54 He called quickly to the young man carrying his weapons, and he said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, so that they will not say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ ” So the young man stabbed him, and he died.
他急忙呼喊替他拿兵器的少年人, 对他说: “拔出你的刀来, 把我杀死吧. 免得人讲论我说: ‘他被一个妇人所杀. ’”于是那少年人把他刺透, 他就死了.

9:55 When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, each one went to his home.
以色列人看见亚比米勒死了, 就各回自己的地方去了.

9:56 So God repaid the wickedness that Abimelech committed against his father by killing his seventy brothers.
这样, 神报应了亚比米勒向他父亲所行的恶事, 就是他杀了自己的兄弟七十个人.

9:57 And God also repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads, and the curse of Jotham son of Jerub-Baal fell on them.
神也把示剑人的一切恶事, 都报应在他们的头上; 耶路．巴力的儿子约坦的咒诅, 也归到他们身上.

Judges - Chapter 10

10:1 After Abimelech, Tola son of Puah son of Dod, a man of Issachar, rose up to deliver Israel; and he was living at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
亚比米勒之后, 有以萨迦人朵多的孙子, 普瓦的儿子陀拉, 兴起拯救以色列人; 他住在以法莲山地的沙密.

10:2 And he judged Israel twenty-three years. And he died and was buried in Shamir.
陀拉治理以色列人二十三年, 就死了, 埋葬在沙密.

10:3 After him Jair the Gileadite rose up, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
在他之后, 有基列人睚珥兴起治理以色列人二十二年.

10:4 And he had thirty sons who would ride on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns that are in the land of Gilead that they called Havvoth Jair until this day.
他有三十个儿子, 骑着三十头驴驹; 他们有三十座城, 叫作哈倭特．睚珥, 直到今日都是在基列地.

10:5 And Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
睚珥死了以后, 就埋葬在加们.

10:6 And again, the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. They served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, Sidon, Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines; they abandoned Yahweh and did not serve him.
以色列人又行了耶和华看为恶的事, 服事众巴力和亚斯他录, 以及亚兰的神,西顿的神,摩押的神,亚扪人的神,非利士人的神; 他们离弃了耶和华, 不再服事他.

10:7 And the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and the Ammonites.
耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 就把他们交在非利士人的手中和亚扪人的手中.

10:8 They crushed and oppressed the Israelites in that year; for eighteen years they crushed all the Israelites who were beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
从那一年起, 他们就迫害欺压以色列人, 就是所有在约旦河东边, 住在亚摩利人之地的以色列人, 共十八年.

10:9 The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim; and Israel was very distressed.
亚扪人又渡过约旦河去攻打犹大,便雅悯和以法莲家, 以色列人就非常困苦.

10:10 Then the Israelites cried out to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you; we have abandoned our God and served the Baals.”
以色列人向耶和华哀求, 说: “我们得罪了你, 因为我们离弃了我们的神, 服事众巴力. ”

10:11 And Yahweh said to the Israelites, “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, from the Ammonites, and from the Philistines?
耶和华对以色列人说: “我不是曾经拯救你们脱离埃及人,亚摩利人,亚扪人和非利士人吗?

10:12 And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to me, and I delivered you from their hand.
西顿人,亚玛力人,马云人也都压迫你们; 你们向我哀求, 我也拯救你们脱离他们的手.

10:13 Yet you have abandoned me and served other gods. Therefore I will no longer deliver you.
你们竟离弃了我, 服事别的神, 因此我不再拯救你们了.

10:14 Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your trouble.”
你们去向你们拣选的神呼求吧! 让他们在你们遭遇患难的时候拯救你们吧. ”

10:15 And the Israelites said to Yahweh, “We have sinned; do to us accordingly as you see fit; only please deliver us this day.”
以色列人对耶和华说: “我们犯了罪了, 你任意对待我们吧; 只求你今日拯救我们. ”

10:16 So they removed the foreign gods from their midst and served Yahweh; and he could no longer bear the misery of Israel.
以色列人就从他们中间除去外族人的神, 事奉耶和华; 耶和华的心因以色列人所受的患难, 就很着急.

10:17 And the Ammonites were summoned, and they camped in Gilead. And the Israelites gathered and camped at Mizpah.
当时亚扪人聚集起来, 在基列安营; 以色列人也聚集, 在米斯巴安营.

10:18 The people, the ones commanding Gilead, said to each other, “Who is the man that will begin to fight against the Ammonites? He will be as head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
基列的人民和众领袖彼此说: “谁先去攻打亚扪人, 谁就可以作基列所有居民的首领. ”

Judges - Chapter 11

11:1 Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior; he was the son of a prostitute, and Gilead was his father.
基列人耶弗他是个英勇的战士; 他是个妓女的儿子; 耶弗他是基列所生的.

11:2 Gilead’s wife also bore for him sons; and the sons of his wife grew up and drove Jephthah away, and they said to him, “You will not inherit the house of our father because you are the son of another woman.”
基列的妻子也给他生了几个儿子. 他妻子的儿子长大了, 就把耶弗他赶出去, 对他说: “你不可以在我们的父家继承产业, 因为你是另一个妇人的儿子. ”

11:3 So Jephthah fled from the presence of his brothers, and he lived in the land of Tob. And outlaws gathered around Jephthah and went with him.
耶弗他就从他的兄弟面前逃跑, 住在陀伯地; 有些无赖聚集到他那里, 与他一起出入.

11:4 After a time the Ammonites made war with Israel.
过了些日子, 亚扪人与以色列人争战.

11:5 When the Ammonites made war with Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob.
亚扪人与以色列人争战的时候, 基列的众长老就去, 把耶弗他从陀伯请回来.

11:6 And they said to Jephthah, “Come and be our commander, so that we may make war against the Ammonites.”
他们对耶弗他说: “请你来作我们的统帅, 我们好攻打亚扪人. ”

11:7 Jephthah said to the elders, “Did you not shun me and drive me out from the house of my father? Why do you come to me now when you have trouble?”
耶弗他对基列的长老说: “从前你们不是恨我, 赶逐我离开我的父家吗? 现在你们遭遇患难的时候, 为什么到我这里来呢? ”

11:8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “That being so, we have now returned to you, that you may go with us to fight against the Ammonites and become for us as head of all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
基列的长老对耶弗他说: “现在我们回到你这里来, 是要你与我们一同回去, 与亚扪人争战, 你要作我们基列所有居民的首领. ”

11:9 So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you bring me back to fight against the Ammonites, and Yahweh gives them over to me, will I be your head?”
耶弗他对基列的长老说: “如果你们带我回去, 攻打亚扪人, 耶和华把他们交在我面前, 那么我就可以作你们的首领吗? ”

11:10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “Yahweh will be a witness between us; we will act according to your word.”
基列的长老对耶弗他说: “有耶和华在我们中间作证, 我们必定照着你的话行. ”

11:11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before Yahweh at Mizpah.
于是耶弗他与基列的长老一同回去了, 众人就立耶弗他作他们的首领, 作他们的统帅; 耶弗他在米斯巴, 在耶和华面前, 把自己的一切话都说了出来.

11:12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, saying, “What is between you and me that you have come to me to make war against my land?”
耶弗他派遣使者去见亚扪人的王, 说: “我跟你有什么关系呢? 你竟到我这里来攻打我的土地呢? ”

11:13 And the king of the Ammonites said to Jephthah’s messengers, “Because Israel took my land from the Arnon up to the Jabbok and the Jordan when they came up from Egypt; so then, restore it peacefully.”
亚扪人的王对耶弗他的使者说: “因以色列人从埃及上来的时候, 夺了我的土地, 从亚嫩河到雅博河, 直到约旦河; 现在你要把它和和平平地交还. ”

11:14 Once again Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites,
耶弗他又再派使者去见亚扪人的王,

11:15 and he said to him, “Thus says Jephthah, ‘Israel did not take the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites,
对他说: “耶弗他这样说: ‘以色列人并没有夺取过摩押地和亚扪人的土地.

11:16 because when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and went to Kadesh.
以色列人从埃及上来的时候, 是走过旷野到红海, 到了加低斯;

11:17 Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please let us cross through your land,” but the king of Edom would not listen. And they also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he was not willing. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.
就派遣使者去见以东王, 说: 求你让我们经过你的领土. 以东王却不答应; 又派遣使者去见摩押王, 摩押王也不肯; 以色列人就住在加低斯.

11:18 Then they traveled through the wilderness, went around the land of Edom and Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped beyond the Arnon; and they did not go into the territory of Moab because the Arnon was the border of Moab.
以后, 他们走过旷野, 绕过以东地和摩押地, 到了摩押地的东边, 在亚嫩河那边安营; 他们并没有进入摩押境内, 因为亚嫩河是摩押的边界.

11:19 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, ‘Please let us cross through your land to our country.’
以色列人又派遣使者去见亚摩利人的王西宏, 就是希实本王, 对他说: 求你让我们经过你的领土, 到我们自己的地方去.

11:20 But Sihon did not trust Israel to cross through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people and then encamped at Jahaz; and he made war with Israel.
西宏却不信任以色列人, 不让他们经过他的境界; 西宏聚集了他所有的人民, 在雅杂安营, 与以色列人争战.

11:21 And Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them; and Israel occupied all the land of the Amorites inhabiting that land.
耶和华以色列的神, 把西宏和他所有的人民都交在以色列人手中, 以色列人击杀了他们, 夺取了住在那地的亚摩利人的全地,

11:22 They occupied all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon up to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness up to the Jordan.
占领了亚摩利人四周的境界, 从亚嫩河到雅博河, 从旷野直到约旦河.

11:23 So then Yahweh, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from before his people Israel, and you want to possess it?
现在耶和华以色列的神, 已经把亚摩利人从他的子民以色列人面前赶走了, 你竟要占有这地吗?

11:24 Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gave you to possess? Whoever Yahweh our God has driven out before us, we will possess it.
你不是应占有你的神基抹要你占有的地吗? 我们不是应占有耶和华我们的神, 从我们面前赶走的人的一切地吗?

11:25 So then, are you any better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever quarrel with Israel, or did he ever make war against them?
现在难道你比摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒还强吗? 他曾经与以色列人争竞吗? 或是与以色列人交战过吗?

11:26 When Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the towns that are along the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not recover them at that time?
以色列人住在希实本和属希实本的村镇, 亚罗珥和亚罗珥的村镇, 以及亚嫩河沿岸的一切城市, 已经有三百年了; 在这时期内, 你们为什么没有夺回这些地方呢?

11:27 I have not sinned against you; but you are the one who is doing wrong by making war against me. Let Yahweh judge today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.”
我没有得罪你, 你竟恶待我, 攻打我; 愿审判者耶和华今日在以色列人和亚扪人中间, 判断是非. ’”

11:28 But the king of the Ammonites did not listen to the message that Jephthah sent to him.
但亚扪人的王不听从耶弗他差派人去对他所说的话.

11:29 And the Spirit of Yahweh came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh. He passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed through to the Ammonites.
那时耶和华的灵临到耶弗他身上, 他就经过基列和玛拿西, 经过基列的米斯巴, 又从基列的米斯巴去到亚扪人那里.

11:30 And Jephthah made a vow to Yahweh, and he said, “If indeed you will give the Ammonites into my hand,
耶弗他向耶和华许愿, 说: “如果你真的把亚扪人交在我手里,

11:31 whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return safely from the Ammonites will be Yahweh’s, and I will offer it as a burnt offering.”
我从亚扪人那里平平安安回来的时候, 无论谁先从我的家门出来迎接我, 他就必归耶和华, 我也必把他当作燔祭. ”

11:32 And Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to make war against them; and Yahweh gave them into his hand.
于是耶弗他去到亚扪人那里攻打他们, 耶和华把他们交在他手里.

11:33 And he defeated them with a very great blow, from Aroer as far as Minnith, twenty towns, up to Abel Keramim. And the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites.
于是他从亚罗珥开始击杀他们, 去到米匿, 直到亚备勒．基拉明, 共二十座城, 是一场大击杀; 这样, 亚扪人就在以色列人面前被制伏了.

11:34 Jephthah came to Mizpah, to his house, and behold his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and dancing. She was his only child; he did not have a son or daughter except her.
耶弗他回米斯巴去, 到了自己的家, 不料, 他的女儿拿着鼓,跳着舞, 出来迎接他; 她是耶弗他的独生女, 除她以外, 耶弗他没有其他的儿女.

11:35 And the moment he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, “Ah! My daughter, you have caused me to bow down, and you have become my trouble. I made an oath to Yahweh, and I cannot take it back.”
耶弗他看见了她, 就撕裂自己的衣服, 说: “啊! 我的女儿啊, 你真使我忧愁, 你叫我太作难了; 因为我已经向耶和华开过口许愿, 我不能收回. ”

11:36 She said to him, “My father, you made an oath to Yahweh. Do to me according to what has gone out from your mouth, since Yahweh gave vengeance to you against your enemies, the Ammonites.”
她对他说: “我的父亲啊, 你既然向耶和华开过口许了愿, 就照着你口里所说的向我行吧! 因为耶和华已经在你的仇敌亚扪人身上, 为你报了仇. ”

11:37 And she said to her father, “Let this thing be done for me: grant me two months so that I may go wander on the mountains and lament over my virginity, I and my companions.
她又对自己的父亲说: “请你准我这件事吧: 给我两个月时间, 让我和我的同伴去漫游山间, 为我的童贞哀哭. ”

11:38 And he said, “Go.” He sent her away for two months, and she went with her friends, and she lamented over her virginity on the mountains.
耶弗他说: “你去吧! ”就让她离去两个月; 她就带着她的同伴去了, 在山上为她的童贞哀哭.

11:39 At the end of the two months she returned to her father, and he did to her according to his vow; and she did not sleep with a man. And it became an annual custom in Israel
两个月后, 她回到她的父亲那里, 她父亲就照他所许的愿向她行了. 她没有与男人同过房. 以后, 在以色列中有个惯例:

11:40 for the daughters of Israel to go and lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite for forty days of the year.
以色列的女子年年都去哀悼基列人耶弗他的女儿, 每年四日.

Judges - Chapter 12

12:1 The men of Ephraim were called to arms, and they crossed over to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you cross over and make war against the Ammonites, and why did you not call us to go with you? We will burn down your house over you with fire.”
以法莲人聚集起来, 过河到了撒分, 对耶弗他说: “你过去攻打亚扪人的时候, 为什么没有召我们与你同去呢? 我们要用火烧掉你和你的房屋. ”

12:2 And Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were engaged in great conflict with the Ammonites; I called you, but you did not deliver me from their hand.
耶弗他对他们说: “我和我的人民跟亚扪人激烈争战的时候, 我曾经呼求你们, 你们却没有来救我们脱离他们的手.

12:3 I saw that you would not deliver us; I risked my own life, and I crossed over to the Ammonites, and Yahweh gave them into my hand. Why have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”
我见你们不来拯救我, 我就拚命上去攻击亚扪人, 耶和华就把他们交在我的手里. 你们今日为什么上我这里来攻打我呢? ”

12:4 Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and he made war with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
于是耶弗他召集了基列所有的人, 与以法莲人争战; 基列人击杀了以法莲人, 因为以法莲人曾经说过: “你们基列人在以法莲和玛拿西中间, 不过是以法莲逃亡的人罢了. ”

12:5 Then Gilead captured the fords of the Jordan from Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me cross over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” When he said, “No,”
基列人占领约旦河的各渡口, 不容以法莲人过去. 如果以法莲逃亡的人说: “让我过去吧. ”基列人就问他: “你是以法莲人吗? ”如果他说: “不是. ”

12:6 they said to him, “Please say Shibboleth,” and if he said, “Sibboleth”—because he could not pronounce it correctly—they grabbed him and executed him at the fords of Jordan. At that time forty-two thousand from Ephraim fell.
基列人就对他说: “请说‘示播列’. ”以法莲人因为发不出准确的字音, 就说成“西播列”; 基列人就把他捉住, 在约旦河的渡口那里杀了; 那时以法莲人死了四万二千人.

12:7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
耶弗他治理以色列人共六年; 基列人耶弗他死了以后, 埋葬在基列的一座城里.

12:8 After him Ibzan from Bethlehem judged Israel.
耶弗他之后, 有伯利恒人以比赞治理以色列人.

12:9 He had thirty sons. He gave his thirty daughters away in marriage outside his clan and brought in from outside thirty young women for his sons. He judged Israel for seven years.
他有三十个儿子, 三十个女儿; 女儿都嫁到外面去, 又给他的儿子从外面娶了三十个女子作妻子. 他治理以色列人共七年.

12:10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
以比赞死了, 就埋葬在伯利恒.

12:11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years.
以比赞之后, 有西布伦人以伦, 治理以色列人共十年.

12:12 Then Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
西布伦人以伦死了以后, 就埋葬在西布伦地的亚雅仑.

12:13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
以伦之后, 有比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿治理以色列人.

12:14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons that rode on seventy male donkeys. He judged Israel for eight years.
他有四十个儿子, 三十个孙子, 骑着七十头驴驹; 押顿治理以色列人共八年.

12:15 Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim in the hill country of the Amalekites.
比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿死了, 埋葬在以法莲地, 就是在亚玛力人的山地.

Judges - Chapter 13

13:1 And again, the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
以色列人又行了耶和华看为恶的事, 耶和华就把他们交在非利士人手中四十年.

13:2 There was a certain man from Zorah, from the tribe of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; his wife was infertile and did not bear children.
那时有一个琐拉人, 是属于但支派的, 名叫玛挪亚; 他的妻子不能生育, 没有孩子.

13:3 And an angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and he said to her, “Behold, you are infertile and have not borne children, but you will conceive and bear a son.
耶和华的使者向那妇人显现, 对她说: “你向来不能生育, 没有孩子, 现在你必要怀孕, 生一个儿子.

13:4 So then, be careful and do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean,
现在你要谨慎, 清酒或烈酒都不可喝, 各样不洁的东西也不可吃.

13:5 because you will conceive and bear a son. No razor will touch his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth. And it is he who will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
看哪! 你必怀孕, 生一个儿子; 不可用剃刀剃他的头, 这孩子从在母腹开始就归神作拿细耳人; 他必拯救以色列人脱离非利士人的手. ”

13:6 And the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him from where he came, and he did not tell me his name.
妇人就回去, 告诉她的丈夫说: “有一位神人到我这里来, 他的容貌像神使者的容貌, 非常可畏, 我没有问他从哪里来, 他也没有告诉我他的名字.

13:7 And he said to me, ‘Look, you will conceive and bear a son, so then, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, for the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth until the day of his death.’ ”
他对我说: ‘你必要怀孕, 生一个儿子; 现在清酒或烈酒你都不可喝, 各样不洁的东西你也不可吃, 因为这孩子从在母腹开始, 一直到死, 都必归耶和华作拿细耳人. ’”

13:8 Then Manoah prayed to Yahweh and said, “Excuse me, my Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent again come to us and teach us what we should do concerning the boy who will be born.”
玛挪亚就恳求耶和华, 说: “啊, 主啊, 求你叫你派来的神人再到我们这里吧! 好指教我们要怎样对待将要生下来的孩子. ”

13:9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and an angel of God came again to the woman; she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
神听了玛挪亚的声音. 妇人正坐在田间的时候, 神的使者又来到她那里, 她的丈夫玛挪亚却没有与她在一起.

13:10 The woman quickly ran and told her husband, and she said to him, “Look! The man who came to me the other day appeared to me.”
妇人急忙跑去告诉丈夫, 对他说: “那天到我这里来的那人, 又向我显现了. ”

13:11 So Manoah got up and went after his wife, and he came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man that spoke to the woman?” And he said, “I am.”
玛挪亚起来, 跟着他的妻子出去, 来到那人跟前, 问他: “你就是向这个妇人说过话的人吗? ”他回答: “我就是. ”

13:12 And Manoah said to him, “Now when your words come true, what will be the boy’s manner of life and work?”
玛挪亚说: “你的话应验的时候, 这孩子的生活方式怎样? 他要作什么呢? ”

13:13 And the angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Let the woman be attentive to all that I said.
耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说: “我对妇人所说的一切话, 她都要谨守.

13:14 She should not eat of anything that comes from the vine, or drink wine or strong drink, or eat anything unclean; she should keep all that I commanded.”
从葡萄树所产的, 她都不可吃; 清酒或烈酒, 她都不可喝; 各样不洁的东西, 她也不可吃; 我吩咐她的, 她都要谨守. ”

13:15 And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “Please stay, and let us prepare a young goat for you.”
玛挪亚对耶和华的使者说: “请留下, 好让我为你预备一只山羊羔. ”

13:16 The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “If you keep me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh, you can offer it (for Manoah did not know that he was an angel of Yahweh).”
耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说: “你虽然要我留下, 我却不吃你的食物; 如果你预备燔祭, 就当献给耶和华. ”原来玛挪亚还不知道他是耶和华的使者.

13:17 And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “What is your name so that when your words come true we may honor you?”
玛挪亚问耶和华的使者: “你叫什么名字? 到你的话应验的时候, 我们好把尊荣归你. ”

13:18 But the angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask my name? It is too wonderful.”
耶和华的使者对他说: “你为什么问我的名字呢? 我的名是奇妙的. ”

13:19 And Manoah took the young goat and the grain offering, and he offered it to Yahweh on the rock, to the one who performs miracles. And Manoah and his wife were watching.
玛挪亚取了一只山羊羔和素祭, 在磐石上献与那行奇事的耶和华; 玛挪亚和他的妻子一直在观看.

13:20 And when the flame went up toward the heaven from the altar, the angel of Yahweh went up in the flame of the altar to heaven while Manoah and his wife were watching. And they fell on their faces to the ground.
火焰从祭坛上往天升起的时候, 耶和华的使者在祭坛上的火焰中也升上去了; 玛挪亚和他的妻子看见了, 就俯伏在地.

13:21 The angel of Yahweh did not appear again to Manoah and his wife, and then Manoah knew that he was a messenger of Yahweh.
耶和华的使者没有再向玛挪亚和他的妻子显现, 那时玛挪亚才知道他是耶和华的使者.

13:22 And Manoah said to his wife, “We will certainly die because we have seen God.”
玛挪亚对他的妻子说: “我们必定要死, 因为我们看见了神. ”

13:23 But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh wanted to kill us he would not have taken from our hand the burnt offering and the grain offering, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us things such as these.”
他的妻子却对他说: “如果耶和华有意要杀我们, 就必不从我们的手里接纳燔祭和素祭, 也必不会把这一切事指示我们, 更不会在这个时候向我们宣布这些事啊. ”

13:24 The woman bore a son, and she called him Samson; the boy grew big, and Yahweh blessed him.
后来那妇人生了一个儿子, 她就给他起名叫参孙; 孩子渐渐长大了, 耶和华赐福给他.

13:25 And the Spirit of Yahweh began to stir him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
在玛哈尼．但(“玛哈尼．但”意即“但的军营”), 就是在琐拉和以实陶中间, 耶和华的灵开始感动参孙.

Judges - Chapter 14

14:1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and he saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines.
参孙下到亭拿, 在亭拿看见了一个女子, 是一个非利士人的女儿.

14:2 He went up and told his father and mother, and he said, “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines; so then, take her for me as a wife.”
参孙上来告诉他的父母, 说: “我在亭拿看见一个女子, 是一个非利士人的女儿; 现在请你们把她娶来给我作妻子. ”

14:3 But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a wife among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Take her for me because she pleases me.”
他的父母对他说: “在你兄弟的女儿中, 或是在你所有的族人中, 难道没有一个女子, 以致你要去从那些未受割礼的非利士人中娶妻呢? ”参孙对他的父亲说: “请你把她娶来给我, 因为我看中她. ”

14:4 His father and mother did not know that this was from Yahweh; he was seeking for an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling in Israel.
他的父母却不知道这事是出于耶和华, 因为他正在找机会攻击非利士人. 那时非利士人正统治着以色列人.

14:5 And Samson and his father and mother went down to Timnah, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah, and suddenly a young lion came roaring to meet him.
参孙跟他的父母下到亭拿去, 到了亭拿的葡萄园; 忽然见一只少壮狮子向他吼叫.

14:6 And the Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one might tear apart a male kid goat (he was bare-handed). But he did not tell his father and mother what he had done.
耶和华的灵大大感动参孙, 他虽然手里没有武器, 竟把狮子撕裂, 像人撕裂山羊羔一样; 他没有把他所作的这事告诉他的父母.

14:7 Then he went down and talked to the woman, and she pleased Samson.
参孙下去, 和那女子说话, 就看中了她.

14:8 And he returned after awhile to marry her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and there was a swarm of wild honey bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
过了些日子, 参孙回去迎娶那女子, 他转向一旁去看看那只死了的狮子; 看见有一群蜂子和一些蜂蜜在狮子的尸体内.

14:9 He scraped it out into his hands, and he went on, eating it as he went. And he went to his father and mother and gave some to them, and they ate it. But he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey from the body of the lion.
他刮了些蜂蜜, 放在手里, 就走了; 他一面走, 一面吃, 直走到他的父母那里去; 他又把蜂蜜给了他们, 他们也吃了; 但是他没有告诉他们这蜂蜜是从狮子的尸体内刮下来的.

14:10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson prepared there a feast, as young men were accustomed to doing this.
参孙的父亲下去见那女子, 参孙在那里摆设了筵席, 因为青年人都惯常这样行.

14:11 When they saw him, they took thirty companions, and they were with him.
众人看见参孙, 就请了三十个人陪伴他.

14:12 And Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle. If you can fully explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, I will give to you thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments.
参孙对他们说: “现在让我给你们出一个谜语, 你们在七天婚宴之内, 如果能猜出来, 把它的意思清楚告诉我, 我就给你们三十件内衣,三十套衣服.

14:13 But if you are unable to explain it to me, you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments.” So they said to him, “Tell your riddle; let us hear it.”
如果你们不能告诉我, 你们就要给我三十件内衣,三十套衣服. ”他们对他说: “请你把谜语说给我们听. ”

14:14 He said to them, “From the eater came out food, From the strong came out sweet.” But they were unable to explain the riddle for three days.
参孙对他们说: “可吃的从吃者出来; 甜的从强者出来. ”他们过了三日都不能说出谜语的意思.

14:15 When it was the fourth day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband and tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us to rob us?”
到了第四天, 他们对参孙的妻子说: “你要引诱你的丈夫, 使他把谜语的意思告诉我们, 否则我们用火烧你和你的父家. 难道你们请了我们来, 是要夺取我们所有的吗? ”

14:16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and she said, “You must hate me; you do not love me. You told the riddle to my people, but you have not explained it to me.” He said to her, “I have not explained it to my father and mother. Why should I explain it to you?”
参孙的妻子在丈夫面前哭哭啼啼, 说: “你只是恨我, 不是爱我; 你给我的族人设谜语, 却没有把谜语的意思告诉我. ”参孙对她说: “连我父母我都没有告诉, 怎能告诉你呢? ”

14:17 She wept before him the seven days of their feast; and it happened, because she nagged him, on the seventh day he explained it to her, and she told the riddle to her people.
在那七天婚宴期内, 她在丈夫跟前常常哭哭啼啼; 到了第七天, 因为她催逼着参孙, 参孙才告诉她; 于是她把谜语的意思告诉她的族人.

14:18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle.”
到了第七天太阳未落以前, 城里的人就对参孙说: “有什么比蜂蜜还甜呢? 有什么比狮子还强呢? ”参孙对他们说: “你们若不是用我的母牛犊耕田, 你们就不会猜出我的谜语的意思来. ”

14:19 And the Spirit of Yahweh rushed on him, and he went down to Ashkelon. He killed thirty men from them, and he took their belongings, and he gave festal garments to the ones that explained the riddle. He was angry, and he went up to his father’s house.
耶和华的灵大大感动参孙, 参孙就下到亚实基伦, 击杀了他们中间三十个人, 拿了剥下来的衣服, 把三十套衣服给了那些把谜语的意思说出来的人; 参孙怒气冲冲地上自己的父家去了.

14:20 And Samson’s wife was given to his companion who was his best man.
参孙的妻子却归了一个陪伴参孙的人, 就是作过他伴郎的.

Judges - Chapter 15

15:1 After a while, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “I want to go to my wife’s private room.” But her father would not allow him to enter.
过了些日子, 到收割麦子的时候, 参孙带着一只山羊羔去看他的妻子; 他心里说: “我要进内室去见我的妻子. ”但是他妻子的父亲不让他进去.

15:2 Her father said, “I really thought that you hated her, so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please, take her instead.”
她父亲说: “我以为你非常恨她, 所以我把她给了你的一个同伴; 她的妹妹不是比她更美丽吗? 你可以娶来代替她啊. ”

15:3 And Samson said to them, “This time, as far as the Philistines are concerned, when I do something evil I am without blame.”
参孙对他们说: “这次如果我加害非利士人, 就可以不必负责了. ”

15:4 And Samson went and captured three hundred foxes, and he took torches. He turned them tail to tail, and he put one torch between two tails.
于是参孙去捉了三百只狐狸, 又拿了火把来, 把狐狸尾巴对尾巴缚在一起, 又把一枝火把插在两条尾巴中间.

15:5 He set fire to the torches and let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and he burned both the stacks of sheaves and the standing grain, up to the vineyards of olive groves.
他点着了火把, 就放狐狸进入非利士人的禾田里, 把堆积的禾捆, 和未割的禾稼, 以及橄榄园都烧了.

15:6 And the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” And they said, “Samson the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion.” And the Philistines went up and burned her and her father with fire.
非利士人问: “这是谁作的呢? ”有人回答: “是亭拿人的女婿参孙作的, 因为他岳父把他的妻子给了他的同伴. ”于是非利士人上去, 放火烧了那女子和她的父亲.

15:7 Samson said to them, “If you want to behave like this, I swear I will not rest unless I have taken revenge on you.”
参孙对他们说: “你们既然这样行, 我必在你们身上报仇, 然后才肯罢休. ”

15:8 And he gave them a thorough beating, and he went down and stayed in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
参孙击打他们, 连腿带腰都砍断了, 那是一场极大的杀戮; 然后他下去, 住在以坦磐石的穴中.

15:9 Then the Philistines came up and encamped in Judah, and they overran Lehi.
非利士人上去, 在犹大安营, 在利希散开.

15:10 And the men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” And they said, “To bind Samson; to do to him just as he did to us.”
犹大人说: “你们为什么上来攻打我们呢? ”他们说: “我们上来是要捆绑参孙, 要报复他向我们所行的. ”

15:11 Then three thousand men from Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and they said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are ruling over us? What is this that you have done to us?” And he said to them, “Just as they did to me, so I have done to them.”
于是有三千犹大人下到以坦磐石的穴中去, 对参孙说: “非利士人统治我们, 你不知道吗? 你为什么向我们行这事呢? ”参孙对他们说: “他们怎样待我, 我也怎样待他们. ”

15:12 They said to him, “We have come down to bind you and give you over into the hand of the Philistines.” And Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”
犹大人对他说: “我们下来要捆绑你, 把你交在非利士人手里. ”参孙对他们说: “你们要向我发誓, 你们不亲自杀害我. ”

15:13 They said to him, “No, we will only bind you and give you into their hand; we will certainly not kill you.” So they bound him with two new ropes, and they brought him up from the rock.
他们告诉他说: “我们不会杀害你, 我们只要把你捆绑住, 交在非利士人手里, 我们决不杀死你. ”于是他们用两条新绳子把参孙捆绑起来, 从磐石的穴里把他带上来.

15:14 As he came up to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him; and the Spirit of Yahweh rushed on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that has burned with fire, and his bindings melted from his hands.
参孙来到利希, 非利士人就吶喊着出来迎接他, 耶和华的灵大大临到参孙身上, 他臂上的绳子就像被火烧的麻一样, 他的捆绑都从他的手上落下来.

15:15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey; he reached down and took it and killed one thousand men with it.
他找着一块新鲜的驴腮骨, 就伸手拾起来, 击杀了一千人.

15:16 And Samson said, “With the jawbone of the donkey, heap upon heap; with the jawbone of the donkey, I struck dead one thousand men.”
参孙说: “我用驴腮骨杀人成堆; 我用驴腮骨击杀了一千人. ”

15:17 And it happened, when he finished speaking he threw the jawbone from his hand; and he called that place Ramath Lehi.
说完了, 就把那腮骨从手里拋出去, 因此那地方就叫拉末．利希(“拉末．利希”意即“腮骨的山”).

15:18 And he was very thirsty, and he called to Yahweh and said, “You gave this great victory into the hand of your servant, but now I must die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?”
参孙非常口渴, 就呼求耶和华说: “你既然借着你仆人的手施行这么大的拯救, 现在我怎可以渴死, 落在未受割礼的人手中呢? ”

15:19 So God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out from it; and he drank, and his spirit returned, and he was revived. Thus he called its name The Spring of Ha-Qore, which is at Lehi to this day.
于是神在利希使一洼地裂开, 就有水从那里涌出来; 参孙喝了, 就恢复精神, 活力充足; 因此那泉名叫隐．哈歌利(“隐．哈歌利”意即“呼求者之泉”), 那泉直到今日还在利希.

15:20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
在非利士人统治的日子, 参孙治理以色列人二十年.

Judges - Chapter 16

16:1 Samson went down to Gaza; there he saw a prostitute and had sex with her.
参孙往迦萨去, 在那里看见一个妓女, 就进去与她亲近.

16:2 The Gazites were told, “Samson has come here,” so they surrounded the place and lay in ambush for him all night at the city gate. They kept silent all night, saying, “We will wait until the morning light, and then we will kill him.”
有人告诉迦萨人说: “参孙到这里来了. ”他们就把他围住, 整夜在城门口埋伏着, 整夜默不作声, 心里说: “等到早晨天亮, 我们才杀他. ”

16:3 But Samson lay until the middle of the night; he got up in the middle of the night and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two door posts, tore them loose with the bar, put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the hill that is in front of Hebron.
参孙睡到半夜, 就在半夜起来, 抓紧城门的门扇和两边门柱, 把它们与门闩一起拔起来, 放在自己的肩头上, 扛到希伯仑对面的山顶去.

16:4 After this he fell in love with a woman in the wadi of Sorek, and her name was Delilah.
后来参孙在梭烈谷又爱上了一个妇人, 名叫大利拉.

16:5 And the rulers of the Philistines came up to her and said, “Entice him and find out what makes his strength so great, and how we can overpower him, so that we may bind him up in order to subdue him; each of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.
非利士人的领袖上到妇人那里去, 对她说: “请你引诱他, 看看他因什么缘故有这样大的力气, 我们用什么方法才能胜过他, 把他捆绑, 好制伏他; 我们每人就给你十二公斤银子. ”

16:6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me what makes your strength so great, and with what can you be tied up to subdue you?”
大利拉对参孙说: “求你告诉我, 你因什么缘故有这样大的力气, 要用什么方法才能捆绑你, 好把你制伏. ”

16:7 Samson said to her, “If you tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that are not dried up, I will become weak like everyone else.”
参孙对她说: “如果人用七条未干的青绳子捆绑我, 我就会软弱无力, 像平常人一样. ”

16:8 So the rulers of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings that were not dried up, and she tied him up with them.
于是非利士人的领袖把七条未干的青绳子, 带上来给那妇人, 她就用那些绳子把参孙捆绑起来.

16:9 The ambush was sitting in wait for her in an inner room. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you Samson!” And he snapped the bowstrings just as flax fiber snaps when it comes close to fire. And the secret of his strength remained unknown.
有人埋伏在她的内室里等候着; 她对参孙说: “参孙哪, 非利士人上来捉你了! ”参孙就挣断绳子, 像麻线被火烧断一样. 这样, 他力气的由来, 还是没有人知道.

16:10 Delilah said to Samson, “Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Please tell me how you can be bound.”
大利拉对参孙说: “你作弄我, 向我说谎; 现在求你告诉我, 用什么东西才能把你捆绑. ”

16:11 He said to her, “If they tie me tightly with new ropes that have not been used, I will become weak and be like everyone else.”
参孙对她说: “如果人用从未使用过的新绳子把我紧紧地捆绑起来, 我就软弱无力, 像平常人一样. ”

16:12 So Delilah took new ropes and tied him up with them, and she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” (The ambush was sitting in an inner room.) But he snapped them from his arms like thread.
于是大利拉把新绳子拿了来, 把参孙捆绑了, 对他说: “参孙哪, 非利士人上来捉你了! ”当时有人埋伏在她的内室里等候着. 参孙把绳子从手臂上挣断下来, 像挣断一根线一样.

16:13 And Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you have mocked me and told lies to me. Tell me how you can be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave seven locks of my head with warp-threads.”
大利拉对参孙说: “到现在你还是作弄我, 向我说谎; 求你告诉我, 人怎样才能捆绑你. ”参孙对她说: “如果你把我头上的七条发辫与织布机上的纬线编织在一起就可以了. ”

16:14 She fastened it with the pin and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And Samson woke up from his sleep and tore loose the loom pin of the web and the warp-threads.
于是大利拉把他的发辫与织布机上的纬线同织在一起, 再用木橛钉紧, 对参孙说: “参孙哪, 非利士人上来捉你了! ”参孙从睡梦中醒来, 竟把织布机上的木橛, 和纬线都拔了出来.

16:15 And she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me how your strength is so great.”
大利拉对参孙说: “你既然对我不真心, 你怎能说: ‘我爱你’? 你这三次作弄我, 没有告诉我你这么大的力气是哪里来的. ”

16:16 And because she nagged him day after day with her words, and pestered him, his soul grew impatient to the point of death.
大利拉天天用话逼他, 催他, 以致他的心烦得要死.

16:17 So he confided everything to her, and he said to her, “A razor has never touched my head, for I am a Nazirite of God from birth. If I am shaved my strength will leave me, and I will become weak, like everyone else.
参孙就把他心中的一切告诉了她, 对她说: “向来没有人用剃刀剃过我的头, 因为我自出母胎就归神作拿细耳人, 如果人剃去我的头发, 我的力气就离开了我, 我就软弱无力, 像所有人一样. ”

16:18 Delilah realized that he had confided in her, so she sent and called the rulers of the Philistines, saying, “Come up one more time, for he has confided in me.” And the rulers of the Philistines came up, and they brought the money with them.
大利拉见参孙把心中的一切都告诉了她, 就派人去请非利士人的领袖来, 说: “这一次你们上来吧! 因为他已经把心中的一切都告诉了我. ”于是非利士人的领袖上到妇人那里, 手里带着银子上去.

16:19 And she put him to sleep on her lap; then she called the men and shaved off seven locks of his head. Then she began to subdue him, and his strength went away from him.
大利拉使参孙睡在自己的膝上, 又叫了一个人来, 把参孙头上的七条发辫都剃去; 大利拉就克制了他, 因他的力气离开了他.

16:20 And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he woke up from his sleep and said, “I will go out just like every other time and shake myself free,” but he did not know that Yahweh had left him.
大利拉说: “参孙哪, 非利士人上来捉你了! ”参孙从睡梦中醒来, 心里说: “我要像前几次一样挣扎出去, 必能脱身. ”但他不知道耶和华已经离开他了.

16:21 And the Philistines seized him, gouged his eyes, and brought him to Gaza. They tied him up with bronze shackles, and he became a grinder in the prison.
非利士人把他捉住, 剜去了他的眼睛, 带他下到迦萨, 用铜链捆绑着他, 他就在监牢里推磨.

16:22 But the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved off.
但是他的头发被剃去以后, 又开始生长起来了.

16:23 The rulers of the Philistines had gathered to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god and to rejoice. And they said, “Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand.”
非利士人的领袖聚集起来, 要给他们的神大衮献大祭, 并且欢乐庆祝; 他们说: “我们的神把我们的仇敌参孙交在我们手中了. ”

16:24 And the people saw him, and they praised their god, for they said, “Our god has given into our hand those who hate us, devastate our land, and have killed many of us.”
众人看见了参孙, 就赞美他们的神, 说: “我们的神把我们的仇敌, 就是那毁坏我们的地, 又杀死我们很多人的, 交在我们手中了. ”

16:25 After awhile, when their hearts were merry, they said, “Call Samson and let him entertain us.” And they called Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars.
他们心里正在高兴的时候, 就说: “叫参孙来, 给我们耍耍把戏. ”于是有人把参孙从监牢里叫出来; 参孙就在他们面前耍把戏, 他们又把他放在两根柱子中间.

16:26 Then Samson said to the servant who was holding him by his hand, “Position me so that I can touch the pillars on which the house rests, so I can lean on them.”
参孙对拉着他手的童子说: “请你让我摸摸支撑着这庙宇的柱子, 我要在柱子上靠一靠. ”

16:27 And the house was full of men and women, and all of the rulers of the Philistines were there—about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching the performance of Samson.
那时房子里满了男男女女, 非利士人的领袖也在那里; 在房子的平顶上约有三千男女, 都在观看参孙耍把戏.

16:28 And Samson called to Yahweh and said, “My Lord Yahweh, remember me! Please give me strength this one time, O God, so that I can repay with one act of revenge to the Philistines for my eyes.”
参孙呼求耶和华, 说: “主耶和华啊, 求你记念我; 神啊, 求你加强我这一次的力量, 只这一次罢了, 使我尽一次在非利士人身上报那剜我双眼的仇! ”

16:29 And Samson reached out and held two of the middle pillars on which the house was resting, and he leaned on them, one on his right and one on his left.
参孙就抱住那支撑着房子中间的两根柱子, 右手抱一根, 左手抱一根.

16:30 And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And he pushed with all his strength, and the house fell on the rulers and all of the people who were with him. And the dead whom he killed in his death were more than those he killed in his life.
然后参孙说: “让我与非利士人同归于尽吧! ”于是尽力屈身, 房子就倒塌, 压在众领袖和房子里所有的人身上. 这样, 参孙死的时候杀死的人, 比他活着的时候杀死的人还多.

16:31 His brothers and his whole family came down and picked him up; and they brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father; he judged Israel twenty years.
参孙的众兄弟和他父亲的全家都下来, 收殓他的尸体, 把他抬上去, 埋葬在琐拉和以实陶之间, 在他父亲玛挪亚的坟墓里. 参孙治理了以色列人二十年.

Judges - Chapter 17

17:1 There was a man from the hill country of Ephraim; his name was Micah.
以法莲山地有一个人, 名叫米迦.

17:2 And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, and about which you also pronounced a curse in my hearing, are with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “Blessed be my son by Yahweh.”
他对自己的母亲说: “你那十二公斤银子被人拿去了, 关于这事你曾说了咒诅的话, 我也亲自听见了. 看哪! 那些银子在我这里, 是我拿去了. ”他母亲说: “愿我儿蒙耶和华赐福. ”

17:3 He returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother thought, “I will certainly consecrate to Yahweh the pieces of silver from my hand for my son to make an idol of cast metal; now then, I will return them to you.”
米迦就把那十二公斤银子归还给他母亲; 他母亲说: “我把这些银子从我手中分别为圣, 为我的儿子归给耶和华, 好做一个雕像, 一个铸像; 现在, 我要还给你. ”

17:4 When he returned the pieces of silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and she gave it to the smith, and he made it into an idol of cast metal; and it was in the house of Micah.
米迦把银子还给他母亲以后, 他母亲取出二千三百克银子交给银匠, 制造一个雕像和一个铸像, 都放在米迦的家里.

17:5 The man Micah had for himself a shrine, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and he appointed one of his sons who became a priest for him.
米迦这人有一间神庙, 又制造以弗得和家中的神像, 并且立了他的一个儿子作祭司.

17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, and each one did what was right in his own eyes.
在那些日子, 以色列中没有王, 各人都行自己看为对的事.

17:7 There was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, from the clan of Judah; he was a Levite and was dwelling as a foreigner there.
有一个犹大伯利恒的青年人, 是属犹大家族的; 他本是个利未人, 在那里寄居.

17:8 And the man went from the town of Bethlehem in Judah to live as a foreigner wherever he could find a place. And he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, to continue his journey.
这人离开犹大的伯利恒城, 要找一个可以寄居的地方; 途中, 他到了以法莲山地, 米迦的家那里.

17:9 And Micah said to him, “From where do you come?” And he said to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah; I am going to dwell as a foreigner wherever I can find a place.”
米迦问他: “你是从哪里来的? ”他回答米迦: “我是个利未人, 是从犹大的伯利恒来的, 我来要找一个可以寄居的地方. ”

17:10 And Micah said to him, “Stay with me and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give to you ten pieces of silver a year, a set of clothes, and your food.” So the Levite went with him.
米迦对他说: “你与我住在一起吧, 作我的师父和祭司; 我每年给你一百一十四克银子,一套衣服和食用. ”利未人就进了米迦的家.

17:11 The Levite agreed to stay with the man; and the young man became as one of his sons.
他同意与那人同住; 那人看待这青年人好像自己的一个儿子一样.

17:12 So Micah appointed the Levite, and the young man became a priest for him; and he was in the house of Micah.

Judges - Chapter 18

18:1 In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking territory for itself to live in, because until that day it had not been allotted territory among the tribes of Israel.
在那些日子, 以色列中没有王. 那时, 但支派还在寻找可居住的地业, 因为直到那一天, 在以色列的众支派中, 但支派仍没有得着地业.

18:2 The descendants of Dan sent from the whole number of their clan five capable men from Zorah and Eshtaol to spy out the land and to explore it. And they said to them, “Go, explore the land.” And they went to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and they spent the night there.
于是但人从琐拉和以实陶, 差派他们家族中的五个勇士, 去窥探查察那地, 对他们说: “你们去查察那地吧. ”他们来到以法莲山地, 进了米迦的家, 就在那里住宿.

18:3 While they were with the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite, and they turned aside there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place, and what is your business here?”
他们在米迦的家附近, 认出那青年利未人的口音来, 就过去他那里问他: “谁带你到这里来? 你在这里作什么? 你在这里有什么? ”

18:4 And he said to them, “Micah did such and such for me and hired me, and I became his priest.”
他回答他们: “米迦如此这般待我; 他雇了我, 我就作了他的祭司. ”

18:5 And they said to him, “Please inquire of God that we may know whether our journey that we are going on will be successful.”
他们对他说: “请你求问神, 使我们知道我们要走的道路是否顺利. ”

18:6 And the priest said to them, “Go in peace. Yahweh is in front of you on the journey you want to go on.”
祭司对他们说: “你们平安地去吧, 你们要走的道路是蒙耶和华悦纳的. ”

18:7 And the five men went and came to Laish, and they observed the people who were living according to the customs of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, and lacking nothing in the land, and possessing restraint. And they were far from the Sidonians and had no word with anyone.
于是那五个人离开了, 来到拉亿, 看见那里的人民安然居住, 好像西顿人一样, 生活平静安稳; 在那地又没有人掌权, 使他们受屈辱; 他们离西顿人也很远, 也没有与别人来往.

18:8 They came to their relatives at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their relatives said to them, “What do you report?”
他们回到琐拉和以实陶自己的族人那里去; 族人问他们: “你们有什么话说? ”

18:9 And they said to them, “Come, let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, to enter, to possess the land.
他们回答: “起来, 我们上去攻击他们吧. 因为我们已经看过那地, 见那地十分美好, 你们还静坐不动吗? 不可再迟延, 要赶快去取得那地.

18:10 When you go you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is spread out on all sides; God has given a place into your hands where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
你们到了那里的时候, 你们必遇见安然居住的人民; 那地的两边宽阔, 神已经把那地交在你们手里; 那地百物俱全, 一无所缺. ”

18:11 Six hundred men from the clan of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war, set out from there.
于是但人的家族中有六百人, 带着兵器从那里出发, 就是从琐拉和以实陶出发.

18:12 They went up and encamped at Kiriath Jearim in Judah. Therefore they called this place Camp of Dan to this day; it is west of Kiriath Jearim.
他们上去, 在犹大的基列．耶琳安营; 因此人把那地方叫作玛哈尼．但(“玛哈尼．但”意即“但的军营”), 直到现在; 这地方是在基列．耶琳的西边.

18:13 From there they crossed over to the hill country of Ephraim, and they came to the house of Micah.
他们从那里经过, 往以法莲山地去, 来到米迦的家.

18:14 And the five men that went out to spy out the land (that is, Laish) responded and said to their relatives, “Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod, teraphim, and an idol of cast metal? So then, consider what you must do.”
从前去窥探拉亿地的五个人, 对他们的族人说: “这些屋子里有以弗得,神像,雕像和铸像, 你们知道吗? 现在你们要考虑一下应该怎样行. ”

18:15 So they turned to that direction, and they came to the house of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and they greeted him.
于是他们五人转身, 进入米迦的家, 来到那青年利未人的屋里, 向他问安.

18:16 And six hundred men from the descendants of Dan, armed with their weapons of war, were standing at the entrance of the gate.
那六百但人, 带着兵器, 都站在门口.

18:17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and they entered there and took the carved divine image, ephod, teraphim, and the molten image. The priest was standing at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with the weapons of war.
从前去窥探那地的五个人上前, 进入里面, 把雕像,以弗得,神像和铸像都拿去了; 祭司和带着兵器的六百人都站在门口.

18:18 When these went to Micah’s house, they took the divine carved image, ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, and the priest asked them, “What are you doing?”
当那五个人进了米迦的家, 拿走雕像,以弗得,神像和铸像的时候, 祭司就问他们: “你们作什么呢? ”

18:19 And they said to him, “Keep quiet! Put your hand on your mouth and come with us and be for us a father and a priest. Is it better being a priest for a house of one man or being a priest for a tribe and clan in Israel?”
他们回答他: “不要出声, 用手掩着你的嘴, 跟我们走吧, 好作我们的师父和祭司. 你作一家的祭司好呢? 还是作以色列中一个支派一个家族的祭司好呢? ”

18:20 The priest accepted the offer, and he took the ephod, teraphim, and molten image and went along with the people.
祭司心里高兴, 就拿着以弗得,神像和雕像, 来到众人中间.

18:21 And they turned and went and put the little children, the livestock, and the valuable property in front of them.
他们就转身离去, 把妇孺和牲畜, 以及财物, 都放在前面.

18:22 When they were at a distance from the house, Micah and the men who were in the houses that were near the house of Micah cried out, and they overtook the descendants of Dan.
他们离开米迦的家很远的时候, 在米迦的家附近各家的人, 都被召集出来, 去追赶但人.

18:23 And they called to the descendants of Dan, who turned around to face them, and they said to Micah, “What is the matter with you that you assembled together?”
他们呼叫但人; 但人转过脸来, 问米迦: “你召集了这么多人出来作什么? ”

18:24 He said, “You took away my gods that I had made, and the priest, and then you go away. What is now left for me? How can you say to me, ‘What is the matter?’ ”
米迦回答: “你们把我所做的神像和我的祭司都带走了, 我还有什么呢? 你们怎么还问我: ‘你作什么’呢? ”

18:25 And the descendants of Dan said to him, “You should not let your voice be heard among us, so that ill-tempered men will not attack you, and take your life and the lives of your household.”
但人对米迦说: “不要再让我们听见你的声音, 恐怕有暴躁的人攻击你们, 以致你和你全家尽都丧失性命. ”

18:26 And the descendants of Dan went their way. When Micah saw that they were stronger than him, he turned to return to his house.
但人继续走他们的路; 米迦见他们比自己强, 就转身回自己的家去了.

18:27 And they took what Micah had made, and his priest, and they came to Laish, to a quiet and unsuspecting people, and they put them to the sword and burned the city with fire.
但人把米迦所做的神像和他的祭司都带走, 他们来到拉亿, 去到平静安居的人民那里, 就用刀剑击杀了他们, 又用火烧了那城.

18:28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had had no dealings with anyone. It was in the valley that belonged to Beth-rehob, and they rebuilt the city and lived in it.
没有人搭救, 因为离西顿很远, 他们又与别人没有来往. 这城位于靠近伯．利合的山谷中. 但人重建那城, 住在其中.

18:29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the former name of the city was Laish.
按着他们的祖宗, 以色列所生的儿子但的名字, 给那城起名叫但; 其实那城原先的名字叫拉亿.

18:30 And the descendants of Dan set up for themselves the carved divine image, and Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests for the tribe of the Danites until the time of the captivity of the land.
但人就为自己把那雕像立起来; 摩西的孙子,革顺的儿子约拿单和他的子孙, 都作了但支派的祭司, 直到那地遭受掳掠的日子.

18:31 So they set up for themselves the carved divine image that Micah had made, all the days that the house of God was in Shiloh.
神的殿在示罗有多少日子, 但人为自己设立米迦所做的雕像也有多少日子.

Judges - Chapter 19

19:1 In those days there was no king in Israel; there was a man, a Levite, who dwelled as a foreigner in the remote areas of the hill country of Ephraim. And he took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
在以色列中没有王的日子, 有一个利未人寄居在以法莲山地的偏远地区; 他从犹大的伯利恒给自己娶了一个女子作妾.

19:2 But his concubine felt repugnance toward him, and she left him and went to her father’s house, to Bethlehem in Judah; she was there some four months.
他的妾背夫行淫, 离开丈夫, 回到犹大的伯利恒她父亲的家那里去了, 在那里住了四个月的日子.

19:3 So her husband set out, and he went after her to speak tenderly to her, to bring her back. He took with him his servant and a pair of donkeys. And she brought him to her father’s house, and the father of the young woman saw him and was glad to meet him.
她的丈夫起来, 带着一个仆人和两头驴去追她, 用话打动她的心, 叫她回来. 她把丈夫带到自己父家, 那少女的父亲见了那人, 就欢欢喜喜迎接他.

19:4 His father-in-law, the young woman’s father, urged him to stay with him three days; and they ate and drank, and they spent the night there.
那人的岳父, 就是女子的父亲, 强留那人, 那人就与他同住了三天; 他们一起吃喝, 在那里住宿.

19:5 On the fourth day, they rose early in the morning, and he prepared to go, but the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “Refresh yourself with a bit of food, and afterward you may go.”
到了第四天, 他们清早起来, 那人起身要走; 那女子的父亲对女婿说: “请吃点饼增添心力, 然后再走. ”

19:6 So the two of them sat and ate and drank together, and the father of the young woman said to the man, “Please, agree to spend the night and enjoy yourself.”
于是二人坐下, 一起吃喝; 女子的父亲对那人说: “请你答应再过一夜, 畅快你的心. ”

19:7 The man got up to go, but his father-in-law urged him, and he returned and spent the night there.
那人起来要走, 他的岳父强留他, 他又在那里过了一夜.

19:8 On the fifth day he rose early in the morning to go, and the father of the young woman said, “Please, enjoy yourself,” and they lingered until the day declined, and the two of them ate.
到了第五天, 他清早起来要走; 那女子的父亲说: “请吃点饼增添心力, 等到日头西斜再走吧. ”于是他们耽延, 直到日头西斜; 二人一同吃饭.

19:9 And the man got up to go—he, his concubine, and his servant—but his father-in-law, the father of the young woman, said to him, “Please, the day has worn on to evening; please, spend the night, the day has drawn to a close. Spend the night here and enjoy yourself. You can rise early tomorrow for your journey and go to your home.”
那人和他的妾, 以及他的仆人起来要走的时候, 他的岳父, 就是那女子的父亲, 对他说: “看哪, 天快晚了! 请再住一夜. 看哪, 日头西斜了! 请在这里再住一夜, 畅快你的心; 明天可以清早起来, 上路回家去. ”

19:10 But the man was not willing to spend the night, and he got up and went; and he arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine.
那人不愿再住一夜, 就带着自己的妾和两头备好了的驴, 起来走了, 来到耶布斯对面; 耶布斯就是耶路撒冷.

19:11 They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent, and the servant said to his master, “Please, come, let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites, and let us spend the night in it.”
他们走近耶布斯的时候, 日头快要落了; 仆人对主人说: “来, 让我们转到这耶布斯人的城去, 好在那里住宿. ”

19:12 But his master said to him, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, who are not from the Israelites; we will cross over up to Gibeah.”
主人对他说: “我们不可转到这座不是以色列人居住的外族人的城里去, 我们过到基比亚去吧. ”

19:13 And he said to his servant, “Come, let us approach one of these places; we will spend the night in Gibeah or in Ramah.”
又对他的仆人说: “来吧, 我们可以到这些地方其中一个去投宿, 或在基比亚或在拉玛. ”

19:14 So they crossed over and went their way, and the sun went down on them beside Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
于是他们走路过去; 他们走近便雅悯人的基比亚的时候, 日头已经落了.

19:15 And they turned aside there to enter and to spend the night at Gibeah. And they went and sat in the open square of the city, but no one took them in to spend the night.
他们从那里转身, 要进基比亚去住宿; 他们进去, 坐在城里的广场上, 因为没有人接待他们到家里去住宿.

19:16 Then behold, an old man was coming from his work from the field in the evening, and the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was dwelling as a foreigner in Gibeah. (The people of the place were descendants of Benjamin.)
到晚上, 有一个老年人从田间工作回来; 那人原是以法莲山地的人, 寄居在基比亚; 那地方的人却是便雅悯人.

19:17 And the old man raised his eyes and saw the traveler in the open square of the city, and he said, “Where are you going, and from where do you come?”
那老年人举目, 看见那个旅客在城里的广场上, 就问他: “你要到哪里去? 你从哪里来? ”

19:18 And he said to him, “We are crossing over from Bethlehem in Judah up to the remote areas of the hill country of Ephraim, where I am from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, but now I am going to Yahweh’s house, but no one took me in to spend the night.
利未人回答他: “我们是从犹大的伯利恒过来的, 要到以法莲山地的偏远地区去, 我原是那地方的人; 我去过犹大的伯利恒, 现在我要到我的家去(“到我的家去”原文作“到耶和华的殿去”), 但没有人接待我到家里去.

19:19 There is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for me, for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servant; there is no lack of anything.”
其实我有粮草,有饲料, 可以喂驴; 我和我的妾, 以及与你的仆人在一起的那个青年人, 都有饼和酒吃喝, 一无所缺. ”

19:20 And the old man said, “Peace to you. I will take care of your needs; however, you must not spend the night in the open square.”
那老年人说: “愿你平安, 你所缺乏的, 由我负责好了; 只是不可在广场上过夜. ”

19:21 So he brought him to his house, and he fed the donkeys; they washed their feet, ate, and drank.
于是把他领到自己的家里, 用饲料喂了驴, 他们洗了脚, 就吃喝起来.

19:22 While they were enjoying themselves, behold, the men of the city, the perverse lot, surrounded the house, pounding on the door. And they said to the old man, the owner of the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so that we may have sex with him.”
他们心里正畅快的时候, 忽然城里有些无赖之徒, 围绕房子, 不住地敲门, 对老房主说: “把进入你家的那个人带出来, 我们要与他交合. ”

19:23 So the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not act wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not do this disgraceful thing.
那房主出来见他们, 对他们说: “我的众兄弟啊, 不可这样, 请你们不要作恶; 这人既然进了我的家, 你们就不要作这羞耻的事.

19:24 Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please, let me bring them out; do violence to them, and do to them whatever you please. Do not do this disgraceful thing to this man.”
这里有我的女儿, 还是处女, 并且有这人的妾, 我把她们领出来, 让你们污辱她们; 你们看怎样好, 就怎样待她们吧. 只是对这个人, 你们却不要作这羞耻的事. ”

19:25 But the men were not willing to listen to him, and the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they had intercourse with her, and they abused her all night until the morning; they let her go at the approach of dawn.
那些人却不肯听从他的话, 那人就抓住自己的妾, 拉出外边去交给他们, 他们就与她交合, 整夜污辱她; 直到早晨, 天色破晓的时候, 才放她走.

19:26 And the woman came as the morning appeared, and she fell at the entrance of the man’s house where her master was, until daylight.
天快亮的时候, 那女子回到留她主人住宿的那人的房子门口, 就仆倒在那里, 直到天亮.

19:27 In the morning her master got up, and he opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his journey, and behold, his concubine was falling at the entrance of the house, with her hand on the threshold.
到早晨, 她的主人起来, 开了房门, 出去要上路的时候, 就看见那妇人, 就是他的妾, 仆倒在门口, 她的双手搭在门槛上.

19:28 And he said to her, “Get up, let us go,” but there was no answer. So he put her on the donkey, and the man got up and went to his place.
他对那妇人说: “起来, 我们走吧! ”可是却没有回答. 那人就把她驮在驴上, 起程回自己的地方去了.

19:29 When he entered his house he took a knife, and he grasped his concubine and cut her into twelve pieces; and he sent her throughout the whole territory of Israel.
他到了家里, 就拿起刀来, 抓住自己的妾, 把她的肢体切成十二块, 叫人送到以色列的全境去.

19:30 All who saw it said, “Nothing like this has ever been since the Israelites went up from the land of Egypt until this day. Take note of it, consider it, and speak up.”
看见的人都说: “自从以色列人从埃及地上来的日子, 直到今日, 这样的事并没有发生过, 也没有看见过; 你们要思想, 要商议, 要讨论. ”

Judges - Chapter 20

20:1 All the Israelites went out, from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, and they gathered as one body to Yahweh at Mizpah.
于是以色列众人都出来, 从但到别是巴, 以及基列地的众人, 都在米斯巴耶和华面前聚集起来如同一人.

20:2 And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand sword-bearing infantry.
全民的领袖, 就是以色列众支派的领袖, 都站在神子民的会中; 拿刀的步兵共有四十万人.

20:3 (The descendants of Benjamin heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites said, “Tell us, how did this evil act occur?”
(以色列人上到米斯巴来, 便雅悯人听见了. )以色列人说: “这件恶事是怎样发生的? 你们说吧. ”

20:4 The Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered and said, “I came to Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
那利未人, 就是被害的妇人的丈夫, 回答说: “我和我的妾到了便雅悯的基比亚, 要在那里住宿.

20:5 The lords of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me, and they raped my concubine, and she died.
基比亚人民起来攻击我, 在夜间包围我住的房子攻击我, 有意杀害我; 他们把我的妾污辱致死.

20:6 Then I grabbed my concubine and cut her into pieces, and I sent her throughout all the territory of Israel’s inheritance; for they committed a shameful and disgraceful thing in Israel.
我就把我的妾切成块子, 送到以色列的各地业, 因为基比亚人在以色列中行了极羞耻的恶事.

20:7 Look, all you Israelites! Make your decision and advice here.”
以色列人哪, 你们都要说出你们的意见, 也要在这里提出你们的对策. ”

20:8 All the people got up as one body, saying, “Not one of us will go to his tent, or will any of us return to his house.
于是众人都起来如同一人, 说: “我们当中谁都不回自己的帐棚, 谁都不回自己的家.

20:9 So then, this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against her by lot.
现在我们要这样对待基比亚人: 我们要照着所抽的签上去攻打他们.

20:10 We will take ten men of one hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and one thousand of ten thousand, to bring provisions to the troops, to repay them when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin for all the disgraceful things they did in Israel.”
我们要从以色列各支派中, 每百人抽取十人, 每千人抽取百人, 每万人抽取千人, 好为人民运送粮食; 等他们到了便雅悯的基比亚的时候, 就可以照着他们在以色列中所行的一切羞耻的事惩罚他们. ”

20:11 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city as one body united.
于是以色列众人彼此联合, 如同一人, 聚集起来攻击那城.

20:12 Then the tribes of Israel sent men throughout all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that happened among you?
以色列各支派打发人到便雅悯的各家去, 说: “你们中间怎么发生了这样的恶事呢?

20:13 So then, hand over the men, the perverse lot, who are in Gibeah, so that we may kill them and purge this wickedness from Israel.” But the descendants of Benjamin were not willing to listen to the voice of their relatives, the Israelites.
现在你们要把那些人, 基比亚的无赖之徒, 交出来, 我们好处死他们, 从以色列中除掉这恶. ”只是便雅悯人却不肯听从他们的兄弟以色列人的话.

20:14 And the descendants of Benjamin were gathered from the cities to Gibeah to go out for battle against the Israelites.
便雅悯人从各城出来聚集, 往基比亚去, 要与以色列人交战.

20:15 From the cities the descendants of Benjamin were counted on that day twenty-six thousand sword-wielding men, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted seven hundred well-trained men.
那时便雅悯人, 从各城里被数点的, 共有二万六千拿刀的, 另外被数点的, 还有基比亚的居民, 共有七百精兵.

20:16 From all these troops were seven hundred well-trained men who were left-handed; each one could sling with a stone at a hair and not miss.
在这些人中, 还有七百精兵是善用左手的, 个个都能用机弦拋石, 毫发不差.

20:17 And the men of Israel besides Benjamin were counted four hundred thousand sword-wielding men; all were warriors.
除了便雅悯人以外, 以色列人被数点的, 共有四十万拿刀的, 个个都是战士.

20:18 Then the Israelites got up and went up to Bethel, and they inquired of God, saying, “Who will go up first for the battle against the descendants of Benjamin?” And Yahweh said, “Judah will go first.”
以色列人就起来, 上伯特利去求问神, 说: “我们之中谁应首先上去, 与便雅悯人交战呢? ”耶和华说: “犹大应首先上去. ”

20:19 And the Israelites got up in the morning, and they encamped against Gibeah.
以色列人早晨起来, 对着基比亚安营.

20:20 Then the men of Israel marched out for the battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel took up positions against them for battle at Gibeah.
以色列人出来, 要与便雅悯人交战; 以色列人在基比亚面前列阵等待他们.

20:21 The descendants of Benjamin went out from Gibeah, and they struck down on that day twenty-two thousand men of Israel to the ground.
便雅悯人从基比亚出来, 那一天使二万二千以色列人倒地身亡.

20:22 But the troops, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and again they arranged their battle lines in the place where they had arranged themselves the first day.
众民, 就是以色列人, 都奋勇起来, 又在头一天列阵的地方列阵.

20:23 The Israelites went up and wept before Yahweh until evening and inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Should we again draw near from the battle against the descendants of Benjamin, our relatives?” And Yahweh said, “Go up against them.”
事前, 以色列人上伯特利去, 在耶和华面前哀哭直到晚上, 然后求问耶和华, 说: “我们再去与我们的兄弟便雅悯人交战, 可以不可以? ”耶和华说: “你们可以上去攻打他们. ”

20:24 And the Israelites drew near to the descendants of Benjamin on the second day.
第二天, 以色列人就前去攻打便雅悯人.

20:25 And Benjamin went out from Gibeah to meet them on the second day, and they struck down the Israelites again, eighteen thousand men to the ground; all of these were sword-wielding.
便雅悯人第二天也从基比亚出来, 迎战以色列人, 又使一万八千以色列人倒地身亡, 都是拿刀的.

20:26 And all the Israelites and all the troops went up and came to Bethel and wept; and they sat there before Yahweh and fasted on that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before Yahweh.
以色列众人, 就是全体人民, 又上到伯特利, 坐在耶和华面前哀哭, 那日禁食直到晚上, 然后在耶和华面前献上燔祭和平安祭.

20:27 And the Israelites inquired of Yahweh (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
那时, 神的约柜在那里.

20:28 and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it to minister in those days), saying, “Should we go out once more to battle against the descendants of Benjamin our relatives, or should we stop?” And Yahweh said, “Go up tomorrow; I will give them into your hand.”
那时, 亚伦的孙子,以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈, 侍立在约柜前供职. 以色列人求问耶和华, 说: “我们应再出去与我们的兄弟便雅悯人交战呢? 还是休战呢? ”耶和华说: “你们应上去, 因为明天我必把他们交在你们手中. ”

20:29 So Israel stationed an ambush all around Gibeah.
以色列人在基比亚四周设下伏兵.

20:30 And the Israelites went up against the descendants of Benjamin on the third day, and they took up positions against Gibeah as before.
第三天, 以色列人又上去攻打便雅悯人, 在基比亚前面列阵, 像前两次一样.

20:31 The descendants of Benjamin went out to meet the troops, and they lured them away from the city and began to inflict casualties on the troops as before, on the main road, one of which goes up to Bethel, the other to Gibeah; and in the field there were about thirty men of Israel.
便雅悯人也出来迎敌, 他们被引出城外, 在两条大路上, 一条通往伯特利, 一条通往基比亚, 像前两次一样, 动手杀敌, 在田间杀死以色列人约有三十个.

20:32 And the descendants of Benjamin thought, “They are being defeated before us as previously,” and the Israelites said, “Let us flee and lure them away from the city to the main roads.”
便雅悯人说: “他们仍像前一次一样, 败在我们面前了. ”以色列人却说: “我们逃跑吧, 引他们离开城市出到大路上来. ”

20:33 And all the men of Israel got up from their places and took up positions in Baal Tamar; and the ambush of Israel charged from their places, from the vicinity of Gibeah.
以色列众人都从自己的地方起来, 在巴力．他玛列阵; 以色列的伏兵, 从基比亚西边埋伏的地方冲出来.

20:34 Then ten thousand well-trained men from all Israel came out against Gibeah, and the battle became fierce; they did not know that disaster was about to close in on them.
全以色列中的精兵, 有一万人前来攻打基比亚, 战争非常激烈; 便雅悯人还不知道灾祸快要临到他们的身上了.

20:35 And Yahweh defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and the Israelites destroyed on that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them sword-wielding.
耶和华在以色列人面前击败了便雅悯人; 那天以色列人消灭便雅悯人, 共二万五千一百名, 都是拿刀的.

20:36 The descendants of Benjamin saw that they were defeated, and the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they trusted the ambush that they had set against Gibeah.
这样, 便雅悯人就看出自己被击败了. 原来以色列人倚靠在基比亚前面设下的伏兵, 就对便雅悯人诈败.

20:37 And the ambush came quickly and advanced against Gibeah, and it put the whole city to the sword.
伏兵急忙冲入基比亚, 用刀击杀了全城的人.

20:38 Now the appointed time for the men of Israel with the ambush was that they sent up for them a great amount of smoke from the city.
以色列人与伏兵预先约定, 就是从城里放火, 以烟气上升为号.

20:39 And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to inflict casualties on about thirty men of Israel because they thought, “They will be completely defeated before us as in the first battle.”
以色列人在战场上撤退的时候, 便雅悯人就动手杀人, 刺死以色列人约三十个, 心里说: “他们真的像头一次战阵一样, 在我们面前被击败了. ”

20:40 And the cloud of smoke began to go up from the city in a column of smoke, and Benjamin turned backward, and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke!
当烟柱信号从城中上升的时候, 便雅悯人就转身观看, 只见全城烟火冲天.

20:41 And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed because they saw that disaster was closing in on them.
那时, 以色列人又转身回来, 便雅悯人就非常惊慌, 因为看见灾祸临到自己身上了.

20:42 And they retreated from before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, but the battle caught up to them, and those who came from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
他们在以色列人面前转身, 向旷野的路上逃走, 战争却紧随着他们; 那些从各城里出来的人也在他们中间消灭他们.

20:43 They surrounded Benjamin; they pursued them without rest and trod them down opposite Gibeah to the east.
以色列人包围了便雅悯人, 追赶他们, 在他们歇息之地, 直到基比亚对面日出之处, 践踏他们.

20:44 And eighteen thousand men from Benjamin fell, all of them able men.
便雅悯人中倒毙的共有一万八千人, 全都是勇士.

20:45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness, to the rock of Rimmon, but they cut down on the main roads five thousand men; and they pursued after them up to Gidom, and they struck down two thousand men.
其余的人转身, 向着旷野逃跑, 到了临门的磐石那里; 以色列人在大路上除灭了他们五千人, 追赶他们直到基顿, 又击杀了他们二千人.

20:46 So all of Benjamin who fell on that day were twenty-five thousand sword-wielding men; all of these were able men.
所以那一天便雅悯人倒毙的, 共有二万五千人, 都是拿刀的, 全部是勇士.

20:47 But six hundred turned and fled toward the wilderness, to the rock of Rimmon, and they remained at the rock of Rimmon for four months.
剩下的六百人转身, 向着旷野逃跑, 到了临门的磐石那里, 就在临门的磐石那里住了四个月.

20:48 And the men of Israel returned to the descendants of Benjamin, and they put them to the edge of the sword, both the inhabitants of city and the animals that were found; they also set on fire all the cities that they found.
以色列人又回到便雅悯人那里, 把全城的人和牲畜, 以及一切遇见的, 都用刀杀尽; 又把他们碰见的一切城市放火烧毁了.

Judges - Chapter 21

21:1 The men of Israel had sworn at Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”
以色列人在米斯巴曾经起誓说: “我们中间不可有人把自己的女儿嫁给便雅悯人作妻子. ”

21:2 And the people of Bethel came and sat there until evening before God, and they lifted their voices and wept bitterly.
众人来到伯特利, 在那里坐在神面前直到晚上, 放声大哭,

21:3 And they said, “Why, Yahweh, God of Israel, has it happened today in Israel that one tribe is lacking from Israel?”
说: “耶和华以色列的神啊, 今日以色列中缺少了一个支派, 为什么在以色列中发生这事呢? ”

21:4 On the next day the people rose early, and they built there an altar and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.
次日, 众人清早起来, 在那里筑了一座祭坛, 献上燔祭和平安祭.

21:5 And the Israelites said, “Who in the assembly has not come up from all the tribes of Israel to Yahweh?” For a solemn oath was taken concerning whoever did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah, saying, “He will certainly be put to death.”
以色列人彼此说: “以色列各支派中, 谁没有与会众上到耶和华面前来呢? ”因为他们曾经起过很严厉的誓, 说: “不上米斯巴到耶和华面前的, 必把他处死. ”

21:6 But the Israelites had compassion for Benjamin, their relatives, and they said, “Today one tribe is cut off from Israel.
以色列人为他们的兄弟便雅悯难过, 说: “今天以色列中有一个支派被剪除了.

21:7 What will we do for them—for the ones being left over—for wives? For we have sworn by Yahweh not to give to them our daughters as wives.”
我们曾经指着耶和华起过誓, 必不把我们的女儿给便雅悯人作妻子, 那么现在我们当怎样办理, 使他们剩下的人有妻子呢? ”

21:8 They asked, “Which one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah?” And behold, no one came from Jabesh-gilead to the camp, to the assembly.
他们又彼此问: “以色列各支派中, 有谁没有上米斯巴到耶和华面前来的呢? ”他们就发现基列．雅比中没有一人去到营中会众那里.

21:9 The people were counted, and no one was there from the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead.
众人被数点的时候, 就发现基列．雅比的居民中没有一人在那里.

21:10 And the congregation sent there twelve thousand men from the troops, and they commanded them, saying, “Go, strike the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, and the women and children.
因此会众从勇士中差派一万二千人到那里去, 吩咐他们说: “你们去用刀击杀基列．雅比的居民, 连妇女与孩子都要杀.

21:11 This is the thing you will do: you will destroy every man and every woman who had sex with a man.”
你们要这样行, 你们要把所有的男子, 和所有与男子同过房的女子, 完全毁灭. ”

21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins who had not had sex with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
他们在基列．雅比的居民中, 找到了四百个未曾与人同房, 也未曾与男子同寝的年轻少女, 就把她们带到迦南地的示罗营那里.

21:13 Then the congregation sent and spoke all this to the descendants of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and they assured them they would not be hurt.
全体会众又派人到临门的磐石那里, 对便雅悯人说话, 向他们宣告和平.

21:14 And Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave to them the women whom they kept alive from Jabesh-gilead; but they were not enough for them.
那时便雅悯人回来了, 以色列人就把他们保留的基列．雅比的女子给他们作妻子, 但还是不够.

21:15 And the people felt sorry for Benjamin because Yahweh weakened the tribes of Israel.
众人为便雅悯人难过, 因为耶和华使以色列众支派中有了缺口.

21:16 So the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do for the remaining ones for wives, since the women from Benjamin have been destroyed?”
会众中的长老说: “便雅悯的女子既然都被除灭了, 我们应怎样行, 使那些余下的人有妻子呢? ”

21:17 And they said, “There must be a remnant for Benjamin, so that a tribe will not be blotted out from Israel.
又说: “便雅悯逃脱的人应有地业, 免得有个支派从以色列中被消灭.

21:18 But we cannot give them wives from our daughters.” (For the Israelites swore, saying, “Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to Benjamin.”)
但是我们不能把我们自己的女儿给他们作妻子. ”因为以色列人曾经起誓说: “把女儿给便雅悯人作妻子的, 是可咒诅的. ”

21:19 And they said, “Look, the annual feast of Yahweh is in Shiloh, which is to the north of Bethel, east of the main road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.
他们又说: “看哪, 每年在示罗都举行耶和华的节期; 示罗就是在伯特利的北面, 从伯特利上示剑的大路的东面, 在利波拿的南面. ”

21:20 They instructed the descendants of Benjamin, saying, “Go, lie in ambush in the vineyards,
于是他们吩咐便雅悯人说: “你们去在葡萄园中设下埋伏;

21:21 and watch and look; when the daughters of Shiloh dance in the dances, come out from the vineyards and seize for yourselves a wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
在那里观看, 示罗的女子出来跳舞的时候, 你们就从葡萄园出来, 从示罗的女子中, 各抢一个作妻子, 然后回便雅悯地去.

21:22 And if their fathers or their brothers complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Allow us to have them, because we did not capture a wife for each man in the battle, and because you did not give them to them, or else you would have been guilty.’ ”
如果她们的父亲或是兄弟来与我们争论, 我们就对他们说: ‘求你们恩待他们吧, 因为我们在战场上没有给他们留下女子作妻子, 而且这次又不是你们把女儿给他们; 若是你们给的, 你们就有罪了. ’”

21:23 The descendants of Benjamin did likewise, and they took wives for each of them from the dancers whom they seized, and they went and returned to their territory, and they rebuilt the cities and they lived in them.
于是便雅悯人照样行了: 按着他们的数目, 从跳舞的女子中强抢她们作妻子, 然后离开那里, 回到自己的地业去, 重建城市, 住在其中.

21:24 So the Israelites dispersed from there at that time according to tribe and family; and they went out from there, each one to their own territory.
那时, 以色列人离开那里, 各人回到自己的支派和自己的家族去; 他们离开那里, 各人回到自己的地业去.

21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel; each one did what was right in his own eyes.
在那些日子, 以色列中没有王, 各人都行自己看为对的事.

Ruth (路得记)

Ruth - Chapter 1

1:1 And it happened in the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a man from Bethlehem of Judah went to reside in the countryside of Moab—he and his wife and his two sons.
在士师统治期间, 国内发生了饥荒. 有一个人带着妻子和两个儿子, 从犹大的伯利恒前往摩押地去, 寄居在那里.

1:2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephraimites from Bethlehem in Judah. And they went to the countryside of Moab and remained there.
这个人名叫以利米勒, 妻子名叫拿俄米, 两个儿子叫玛伦和基连, 都是犹大伯利恒的以法他人. 他们到了摩押地, 就在那里住下来了.

1:3 But Elimelech the husband of Naomi died and she was left behind with her two sons.
后来拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒去世了, 留下她和两个儿子.

1:4 And they took for themselves Moabite wives. The name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other was Ruth. And they lived there about ten years.
他们娶了摩押女子作妻子, 一个名叫俄耳巴, 一个名叫路得. 他们在那里住了约有十年.

1:5 But both Mahlon and Kilion died, and the woman was left without her two sons and without her husband.
后来, 玛伦和基连二人也死了, 留下拿俄米, 既没有了两个儿子, 又没有了丈夫.

1:6 And she got up, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned from the countryside of Moab, because she had heard in the countryside of Moab that Yahweh had come to the aid of his people to give food to them.
拿俄米还在摩押地的时候, 因为听说耶和华眷顾他的子民, 赐粮食给他们, 就带着两个媳妇动身从摩押地回来.

1:7 So she set out from the place where she was and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
她离开居住的地方, 两个媳妇也随她出发, 要回到犹大地去.

1:8 But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, each of you return to her mother’s house. May Yahweh show kindness to you just as you did with the dead and with me.
拿俄米对两个媳妇说: “去吧, 你们还是各自回娘家吧. 愿耶和华恩待你们, 像你们善待已死的人和我一样.

1:9 May Yahweh grant that you find a resting place, each in the house of her husband.” And she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and cried.
愿耶和华使你们各人有机会再嫁(“有机会再嫁”原文作“在丈夫家里”), 找到归宿. ”跟着亲吻她们, 她们就发声大哭,

1:10 And they said to her, “No, we want to return with you to your people.”
说: “不, 我们一定要跟你一起回到你同胞那里去. ”

1:11 And Naomi said, “Return, my daughters. Why do you still want to go with me? Are there sons in my womb that may be husbands for you?
拿俄米说: “我女儿啊, 你们回去吧, 为什么要跟我去呢? 我肚子里还有儿子作你们的丈夫吗?

1:12 Turn back, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should think there is hope for me, even if I should have a husband this night, and even if I should bear sons,
走吧, 我女儿啊, 你们回去吧, 因为我太老, 不能嫁人了, 就算我说我还有希望今天晚上有个丈夫, 又生儿子,

1:13 would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is far more bitter to me than to you. For the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me.”
你们可以等到他们长大吗? 你们可以为他们守节而不嫁人吗? 不行, 我女儿啊, 我为你们非常难过, 因为耶和华伸手对付我. ”

1:14 And they lifted up their voices and cried again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.
她们又放声大哭. 俄耳巴就和婆婆吻别, 路得却舍不得离开拿俄米.

1:15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods. Return after your sister-in-law too.”
拿俄米说: “你看, 你嫂嫂已经回到她同胞和她的神那里去了. 你也跟着嫂嫂回去吧. ”

1:16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you! For where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God.
路得说: “请不要逼我离开你回去, 不跟从你. 你到哪里去, 我也要到哪里去; 你在哪里过夜, 我也要在哪里过夜; 你的同胞就是我的同胞, 你的神就是我的神;

1:17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. So may Yahweh do to me, and even more, unless death separates you and me!”
你死在哪里, 我也要死在哪里, 葬在哪里. 除非死亡把你我分离; 如果我离开你, 愿耶和华加倍惩罚我. ”

1:18 When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.
拿俄米看路得坚决要跟她走, 就不再多费唇舌了.

1:19 So the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, all of the town was stirred because of them. And they said, “Is this Naomi?”
她们双双上路, 来到伯利恒. 她们到达的时候, 全城都因她们的缘故骚动起来. 妇女们说: “这是拿俄米吗? ”

1:20 And she said to them, “You should not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for Shaddai has caused me to be very bitter.
拿俄米对她们说: “不要叫我拿俄米, 叫我玛拉吧, 因为全能者使我吃尽了苦头.

1:21 I went away full, but Yahweh brought me back empty-handed! Why call me Naomi when Yahweh has testified against me and Shaddai has brought calamity upon me?”
我满满地出去, 耶和华却使我空空地回来, 你们为什么还叫我拿俄米呢? 耶和华折磨我, 全能者加害于我. ”

1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, returning from the countryside of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the harvest of barley.
拿俄米就这样回来了. 她媳妇摩押女子路得随着她从摩押地回来. 她们到达伯利恒, 正是开始收割大麦的时候.

Ruth - Chapter 2

2:1 Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a prominent rich man from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒有个同族的亲戚, 名叫波阿斯, 是个大财主.

2:2 And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after someone in whose eyes I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
摩押女子路得对拿俄米说: “让我到田里去, 我在谁的眼前蒙恩, 我就跟在谁的背后捡麦穗. ”拿俄米说: “女儿啊, 你尽管去. ”

2:3 So she went and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers. And she happened by chance upon the tract of field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
路得就去了, 来到田里, 在收割的人背后捡麦穗. 她恰巧来到以利米勒同族的人波阿斯那块田.

2:4 And look, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” And they said to him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
波阿斯刚好从伯利恒来, 对收割的人说: “愿耶和华与你们同在. ”他们回答: “愿耶和华赐福与你. ”

2:5 And Boaz said to his servant in charge of the reapers, “To whom does this young woman belong?”
波阿斯问那监督收割的仆人: “那是谁家的姑娘呢? ”

2:6 And the servant in charge of the reapers said, “She is a Moabite girl returning with Naomi from the countryside of Moab.
监督收割的仆人回答: “她是跟拿俄米从摩押地回来的摩押女子.

2:7 And she said, ‘Please let me glean and let me gather among the sheaves behind the reapers.’ So she came and remained from the morning up to now. She is sitting for a little while in the house.”
她说: ‘请让我捡一点麦穗吧. 让我跟在收割的人背后, 在禾捆堆中捡些零碎的穗子. ’于是她来了. 除了在房子里休息了一会儿之外, 从早晨到现在一直都留在这里. ”

2:8 And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen carefully, my daughter, go no longer to glean in another field. Moreover, do not leave from this one, but stay close with my young women.
波阿斯对路得说: “女儿啊, 听我说, 不要到别人田里去捡麦穗, 也不要离开这里, 要常常与我的女佣人在一起.

2:9 Keep your eyes on the field that they reap and go after them. Have I not ordered the servants not to bother you? And if you get thirsty, you shall go to the containers and drink from where the servants have drawn.”
你看他们在哪块田里收割, 就跟着女佣人去. 我不是已经吩咐仆人不可欺负你吗? 假如你渴了, 就到水缸那里去, 喝仆人打来的水. ”

2:10 And she fell on her face and bowed down to the ground and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes by recognizing me—for I am a foreigner?”
路得就俯伏在地叩拜, 对他说: “我是个外族人, 为什么会在你眼前蒙恩, 蒙你关照呢? ”

2:11 And Boaz answered and said to her, “All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband was fully told to me. How you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and you went to a people that you did not know before.
波阿斯回答她说: “自从你丈夫去世以后, 你对婆婆所行的, 和你怎样离开父母与出生之地, 来到素来不认识的人中间, 这一切我都知道得很清楚了.

2:12 May Yahweh reward your work and may a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you came to take refuge.”
愿耶和华照你所作的报答你; 你来投靠在耶和华以色列神的翅膀下, 愿他充充足足酬报你. ”

2:13 And she said, “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord, for you have comforted me and have spoken kindly to your servant, and I am not one of your servants.”
路得说: “主人啊, 但愿我在你眼前蒙恩, 虽然我连你的婢女都不是, 你还是安慰我, 对我这么好. ”

2:14 And Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here and eat from the bread and dip your morsel in the wine vinegar.” So she sat beside the gleaners, and he offered to her roasted grain. And she ate and was satisfied, and she had some left over.
到了吃饭的时候, 波阿斯对路得说: “你过来, 吃一点饼吧, 拿饼块蘸在醋里. ”路得就在收割的人旁边坐下来. 波阿斯把一些烘好的麦穗递给她, 她吃饱了, 还有剩下的.

2:15 And she got up to glean, and Boaz instructed his servants saying, “Let her also glean between the sheaves and do not reproach her.
她再起来去捡麦穗的时候, 波阿斯吩咐仆人说: “就算她在禾捆堆中捡麦穗, 也不可以辱骂她.

2:16 And also pull out for her from your bundles and leave it so that she may glean—and do not rebuke her.”
甚至要故意为她从禾捆中抽些出来, 留给她去捡, 千万不可责备她. ”

2:17 So she gleaned in the field until the evening and she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
路得就这样在田里捡麦穗, 直到傍晚. 她把捡来的麦穗打了, 约有二十二公升大麦,

2:18 And she picked it up and went to the town. Her mother-in-law saw how much she had gleaned. And she took it out and gave to her what she had left over after being satisfied.
然后带回城里去. 路得把捡来的麦子拿给婆婆看, 把吃剩的给了婆婆.

2:19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed.” And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The name of the man who I worked with today is Boaz.”
婆婆问她: “你今天在哪里捡麦穗? 在哪里工作呢? 愿那关照你的人蒙福. ”路得就告诉婆婆她在谁那里工作, 说: “我今天在一个名叫波阿斯的人那里工作. ”

2:20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, whose loyal love has not forsaken the living or the dead.” And Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative for us, he is one of our redeemers.”
拿俄米对媳妇说: “愿不断施慈爱给活人和死人的耶和华赐福给他. ”拿俄米又对她说: “这个人是我们的亲人, 有买赎权的一位近亲. ”

2:21 And Ruth the Moabite said, “Also, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close with the servants which are mine until they have finished all of the harvest which is mine.’ ”
摩押女子路得说: “他还告诉我: ‘紧跟着我的仆人捡麦穗, 直到全部收割完毕. ’”

2:22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidservants so that you will not be bothered in another field.”
拿俄米对媳妇路得说: “我女儿啊, 这样才好, 要与他的女佣人一起去, 免得在别人的田里遭受敌视. ”

2:23 So she stayed close with the maidservants of Boaz to glean until the end of the barley harvest and wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
她就紧跟着波阿斯的女佣人捡麦穗, 直到大麦和小麦都收割好了. 路得一直与婆婆住在一起.

Ruth - Chapter 3

3:1 Now Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek for you security that things may be good for you?
路得的婆婆拿俄米对她说: “女儿啊, 我不是应当为你找个归宿, 使你得到幸福吗?

3:2 So then, is not Boaz our kinsman whose maidservants you were with? Look, he is winnowing the barley at the threshing floor tonight.
你常常和他的女佣人在一起的波阿斯不是我们的亲戚吗? 他今天晚上要在禾场上簸大麦.

3:3 Wash, anoint yourself, put your clothing on, and go down to the threshing floor. Do not make yourself known to the man until he finishes eating and drinking.
你洗个澡, 抹上香膏, 穿上斗篷, 就下到禾场去. 不过, 那个人还没有吃喝完毕, 别让他认出你来.

3:4 And when he lies, take notice of the place where he lies. And you shall go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he shall tell you what to do.”
等到他躺下来, 你要弄清楚他所躺的地方, 进去掀露他的脚, 然后躺下去. 他就会告诉你该作什么. ”

3:5 And she said to her, “I will do all that you say.”
路得对她说: “你吩咐的, 我就去作. ”

3:6 And she went down to the threshing floor and did all that her mother-in-law had instructed her.
于是, 她下到禾场去, 照着婆婆吩咐的一切去作.

3:7 And Boaz ate and drank until his heart was merry and then he came to lie at the end of the grain heap. And she came in quietly and uncovered his feet and lay down.
波阿斯吃喝完了, 心里舒畅, 就去躺在麦堆的旁边. 路得悄悄地来, 掀露他的脚, 躺卧下去.

3:8 And it happened in the middle of the night the man was startled and he reached out and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.
到了夜半, 波阿斯惊醒过来, 一翻身就看到一个女子躺在他的脚边,

3:9 And he said, “Who are you?” And she said, “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread your garment over your servant because you are a redeemer.”
就说: “你是谁? ”她回答: “我是你的婢女路得, 请用你的衣襟遮盖你的婢女, 因为你是我的有买赎权的近亲. ”

3:10 And he said, “You are blessed by Yahweh my daughter. You did better in this last kindness than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.
波阿斯说: “我女儿, 愿你蒙耶和华赐福. 你末后表现的爱心比起初更大, 因为年轻人无论贫富, 你都没有跟从.

3:11 And so then my daughter, do not be afraid. All that you ask I will do for you, for the entire assembly of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
我女儿, 现在你不要怕, 你所说的, 我一定去作. 本城的人都知道你是个贤慧的女人.

3:12 Now truly I am a redeemer, but there is also a redeemer of a closer relationship than me.
不错, 我是你那有买赎权的近亲, 可惜还有一个有买赎权的近亲比我更亲.

3:13 Stay tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, good; but if he is not willing to redeem, then as Yahweh lives, I will redeem you. Lie down until the morning.”
今晚你就在这里过夜, 明早如果他肯尽买赎你的本分, 好, 就由他来履行; 假如他不愿意这样作, 我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 我一定尽买赎你的本分. 你只管躺到天亮吧. ”

3:14 So she lay at his feet until morning and got up before anyone could recognize each other. And he said, “It must not be known that you came to the threshing floor.”
路得躺在波阿斯脚边直到早晨. 因为波阿斯说过不可以让人知道有女人来过禾场, 路得就趁天色未明, 人们彼此无法辨认的时候就起来.

3:15 And he said, “Bring the cloak that is on you and hold it out.” And she held it out and he measured six measures of barley and put it on her cloak. Then she went into the city.
他又说: “拿你所披的外衣来, 把它打开. ”她打开了, 他就量了六簸箕大麦, 放在她的肩上. 路得就进城去.

3:16 And she came to her mother-in-law, and she said, “How did it go for you, my daughter?” And she told her all that the man did for her.
到她婆婆那里, 婆婆就问: “我女儿, 怎样了? ”路得就把那人对她所作的一切都告诉了婆婆,

3:17 And she said, “These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, ‘You shall not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.’ ”
又说: “他给我这六簸箕大麦, 对我说: ‘不要空手去见你婆婆. ’”

3:18 And she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest but will settle the matter today.”
拿俄米说: “我女儿, 你尽管安静等候, 直到你知道事情怎样了结, 因为那人今天不把事情办妥, 绝不歇息. ”

Ruth - Chapter 4

4:1 And Boaz had gone up to the city gate and sat there. And look, the redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken was passing by. And he said, “Come over here to sit, friend.” And he came over and sat.
波阿斯去到城门, 坐在那里, 波阿斯所说那个有买赎权的近亲刚巧路过那里. 波阿斯说: “喂, 老兄, 过来坐一下吧. ”他就过去坐下来了.

4:2 And he took ten men from the elders of the city and said, “Sit here.” And they sat.
波阿斯又邀请城里的十个长老, 对他们说: “请坐在这里. ”他们就坐下来了.

4:3 And he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who returned from the countryside of Moab, is selling the tract of land which was for our brother Elimelech.
他对那个有买赎权的近亲说: “从摩押地回来的拿俄米, 现在要卖我们族兄以利米勒的那块地.

4:4 And I thought I would tell you and say, ‘Buy it in the presence of those sitting and before the elders of my people,’ if you want to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not want to redeem, tell me so that I may know, for there is no one except you to redeem it, and I am after you.” And he said, “I want to redeem it.”
我想把这一件事告诉你, 请你在众民的长老, 还有在座的各位面前, 把它买下来吧. 如果你肯赎就赎, 假如不肯, 就说出来, 让我知道; 因为除了你当赎它以外, 我是第一候补. ”那人说: “我肯赎. ”

4:5 And Boaz said, “On the day of your acquiring the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the wife of the dead man, in order to raise up for the name of the dead his inheritance.”
波阿斯说: “你从拿俄米手中买下那块地的时候, 你也得娶(“娶”原文作“买”)已死的人的妻子摩押女子路得, 使已死的人的名字留在他的产业上. ”

4:6 And the redeemer said, “I am not able to redeem for myself, lest I ruin my inheritance. You redeem for yourself my kinsman-redemption, for I am not able to redeem it.”
那有买赎权的近亲说: “那我就不能赎它了, 只怕损害了我的产业. 你可以赎我当赎的, 因为我没有办法赎了. ”

4:7 (Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the kinsman-redemption and transfer of property: to confirm the matter, a man removed his sandal and gave it to his fellow countryman. This was the manner of attesting in Israel.)
从前在以色列, 无论买赎或是交易, 决定什么事, 当事人就要脱鞋给对方. 这是以色列中作证的方式.

4:8 So the redeemer said to Boaz, “Acquire it for yourself,” and he removed his sandal.
那有买赎权的近亲对波阿斯说: “你自己买下来吧. ”就把鞋脱下来.

4:9 And Boaz said to the elders and all of the people, “You are witnesses today that I have acquired all that was for Elimelech and that was for Kilion and Mahlon from the hand of Naomi.
波阿斯对长老和众人说: “今天你们都是见证人, 所有属于以利米勒,基连和玛伦的, 我都从拿俄米手中买下来了.

4:10 And also Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, I have acquired as a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance, so that the name of the dead may not be cut off from his relatives and from the gate of his birth place. You are witnesses today.”
我也娶了(“娶了”原文作“买了”)玛伦的妻子摩押女子路得作妻子, 使已死的人的名字留在他的产业上, 免得他的名字在本族本乡中除掉. 今天你们都是见证人. ”

4:11 And all of the people who were at the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman coming into your house as Rachel and as Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you have strength in Ephrathah and bestow a name in Bethlehem.
聚集在城门的众人和长老都说: “我们都是见证人. 愿耶和华使进你家的这女人, 像建立以色列家的拉结和利亚二人一样. 愿你在以法他显大, 在伯利恒扬名.

4:12 And may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah from the offspring that Yahweh will give to you from this young woman.”
愿耶和华从这少妇赐你后裔, 使你的家像他玛从犹大所生法勒斯的家一般. ”

4:13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and Yahweh enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.
于是波阿斯娶了路得作妻子, 与她亲近. 耶和华使她怀孕生了一个儿子.

4:14 And the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be Yahweh who today did not leave you without a redeemer! And may his name be renowned in Israel!
妇女对拿俄米说: “耶和华是应当称颂的, 因为他今天没有断绝你有买赎权的近亲, 愿他在以色列中扬名.

4:15 He shall be for you a restorer of life and a sustainer in your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is better for you than seven sons, has borne him.”
他必苏醒你的生命, 养你的老, 因为他是爱你的媳妇所生的; 有她比有七个儿子更好. ”

4:16 And Naomi took the child and she put him on her bosom and became his nurse.
拿俄米把孩子接过来, 抱在怀中, 作他的保姆.

4:17 And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” And they called his name Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
邻近的妇女要给他起名字, 说: “拿俄米生了孩子了. ”就给他起名叫俄备得; 这俄备得是耶西的父亲, 耶西是大卫的父亲.

4:18 Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron,
以下是法勒斯的后代: 法勒斯生希斯仑,

4:19 and Hezron fathered Ram, and Ram fathered Amminadab,
希斯仑生兰, 兰生亚米拿达,

4:20 and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon,
亚米拿达生拿顺, 拿顺生撒门,

4:21 and Salmon fathered Boaz, and Boaz fathered Obed,
撒门生波阿斯, 波阿斯生俄备得,

4:22 and Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.
俄备得生耶西, 耶西生大卫.

I Samuel (撒母耳记上)

I Samuel - Chapter 1

1:1 There was a certain man from Ramathaim Zophim, from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
在以法莲山地的拉玛．琐非, 有一个以法莲人名叫以利加拿, 是耶罗罕的儿子,以利户的孙子,托户的曾孙,苏弗的玄孙.

1:2 He had two wives; the name of the first was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. Now Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
他有两个妻子, 一个名叫哈拿, 另一个名叫毗尼拿. 毗尼拿有孩子, 哈拿却没有孩子.

1:3 Now this man used to go up from his town year by year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of hosts in Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to Yahweh.
这人每年都从他的本城上示罗去敬拜, 献祭给万军之耶和华. 在示罗有以利的两个儿子, 何弗尼和非尼哈, 作耶和华的祭司.

1:4 On the day Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
以利加拿在献祭的那天, 就把祭肉分给妻子毗尼拿和她所有的儿女.

1:5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, because he loved Hannah, though Yahweh had closed her womb.
但他当面只分给哈拿一份; 他虽然爱哈拿, 耶和华却使哈拿不能怀孕.

1:6 (Now her rival wife would provoke her severely in order to upset her because Yahweh had closed her womb.)
因为耶和华使哈拿不能怀孕, 她的对头就尽力刺激她, 使她苦恼.

1:7 And so he used to do year after year; whenever she went up to the house of Yahweh, she would provoke her so that she would weep and would not eat.
年年都是这样; 每逢她上耶和华殿的时候, 毗尼拿总是刺激哈拿, 使她哭泣, 吃不下饭.

1:8 So Elkanah her husband would say to her: “Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat? And why are you heartsick? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
她的丈夫以利加拿对她说: “哈拿, 你为什么哭泣? 为什么不吃饭, 为什么心里难过呢? 你有我不是比有十个儿子更好吗? ”

1:9 Then Hannah got up after eating and drinking at Shiloh. (Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the temple of Yahweh.)
哈拿在示罗吃喝完了, 就起来. (那时以利祭司在耶和华殿的门柱旁边, 坐在椅子上. )

1:10 She was deeply troubled, so she prayed to Yahweh and wept bitterly.
她心里愁苦, 就向耶和华祷告, 流泪痛哭,

1:11 She made a vow and said: “O Yahweh of hosts, if you will look with compassion on the misery of your female servant, and will remember me, and not forget your female servant, and will give to your female servant a male child then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and a razor will never pass over his head.”
并且许愿, 说: “万军之耶和华啊, 你若是看顾使女的困苦, 记念我, 不忘记你的使女, 赐给使女一个儿子, 我就必把他一生献给耶和华, 不剃他的头. ”

1:12 While she continued to pray before Yahweh, Eli was observing her mouth.
哈拿向耶和华祷告了很久, 以利一直在注视她的嘴.

1:13 Now Hannah had been speaking in her heart; her lips were moving, but her voice could not be heard, so Eli considered her to be drunk.
原来哈拿是在心中诉说, 只见她的嘴唇在动, 却听不见她的声音, 因此以利以为她是个喝醉了的女人.

1:14 Then Eli said to her, “How long will you behave like someone who is drunk? Put away your wine!”
以利就对她说: “你要醉到几时呢? 快快醒过来吧! ”

1:15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord. I am a woman deeply distressed, but I have not drunk wine or strong drink. Rather, I have poured out my soul before Yahweh.
哈拿回答: “我主啊, 不是的. 我是个心灵愁苦的妇人, 淡酒烈酒都没有喝, 只不过在耶和华面前倾吐我的心意.

1:16 Do not regard your female servant as worthless, but because of the extent of my worries and my provocation I have spoken all of this.”
不要把你的使女看作不检点的女子, 我因为极度愁苦和激动, 才一直倾诉到现在. ”

1:17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant your request that you have asked of him.”
以利回答: “平平安安回去吧! 愿以色列的神把你所求的赐给你. ”

1:18 And she said, “May your female slave find favor in your sight.” Then the woman went on her way and ate something, and her face did not look sad any longer.
哈拿说: “愿你的婢女在你眼前蒙恩! ”于是这妇人回去, 并且吃饭, 脸上再没有愁容.

1:19 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before Yahweh and returned to their house at Ramah. Then Elkanah had sexual relations with Hannah his wife, and Yahweh remembered her.
第二天, 他们清早起来, 在耶和华面前敬拜, 然后回到他们的家乡拉玛, 回到自己的家里去. 以利加拿和妻子哈拿同房; 耶和华顾念哈拿,

1:20 In due time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She called his name Samuel, for she said, “I requested him from Yahweh.”
她就怀孕; 时候到了, 就生了一个儿子, 哈拿给他起名叫撒母耳, 因为她说: “他是我从耶和华那里求来的. ”

1:21 So the man Elkanah went up with all his household to make the annual sacrifice to Yahweh and to pay his vow.
以利加拿和他全家都上示罗去, 向耶和华献年祭和还所许的愿;

1:22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Once the boy is weaned, I will bring him, so that he may appear before Yahweh; and he will remain there forever.”
哈拿却没有上去, 因为她对丈夫说: “等孩子断了奶, 我才带他去朝见耶和华. 他要永远住在那里. ”

1:23 So her husband Elkanah said to her, “Do what seems right to you; stay until you wean him. Only may Yahweh fulfill his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.
她丈夫以利加拿对她说: “你看怎样好, 就怎样作吧. 你可以留在这里, 等到你给孩子断了奶, 但愿耶和华实现他的话. ”于是哈拿留在家里乳养孩子, 直到给他断了奶.

1:24 Then she brought him up with her when she had weaned him, along with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. She brought him to the house of Yahweh at Shiloh while the boy was still young.
她给孩子断了奶之后, 就带他一同上去, 又带了一头三岁的公牛,十公斤面和一皮袋酒. 她把孩子带到示罗耶和华的殿那里; 那时孩子还很小.

1:25 They slaughtered the bull, and they brought the boy to Eli.
他们宰了公牛以后, 就带孩子到以利那里,

1:26 She said, “Excuse me, my lord. As you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood with you in this place to pray to Yahweh.
妇人说: “我主啊, 我敢指着我主的性命起誓, 我就是从前在这里站在你旁边, 向耶和华祷告的那个妇人.

1:27 I prayed for this boy, and Yahweh has given me my request that I asked from him.
那时我祈求为要得这孩子, 耶和华已经把我向他所求的赐给我了,

1:28 I in turn have lent him to Yahweh. As long as he lives he is lent to Yahweh.” Then they worshiped Yahweh there.
所以我现在把他献给耶和华, 他的一生是属于耶和华的. ”于是他就在那里敬拜耶和华.

I Samuel - Chapter 2

2:1 Then Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh, my strength is exalted in Yahweh; I grin over my enemies, for I rejoice over your salvation.
哈拿祷告说: “我的心因耶和华喜乐, 我的角因耶和华高举, 我的口向仇敌大大夸耀, 因为我以你的救恩为乐.

2:2 There is no one holy like Yahweh, for there is no one besides you, and there is no rock like our God.
没有人像耶和华那么圣洁, 因为除你以外没有别的神, 也没有磐石像我们的神.

2:3 Do not increase speaking very proud words! Let no arrogance go forth from your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge whose deeds are not weighed.
你们不要多说骄傲的话, 也不要口出狂妄之言, 因为耶和华是全知的神, 人的一切行为他都鉴察.

2:4 The bows of mighty warriors are shattered, but those who stumble gird themselves with strength.
勇士的弓都被折断, 跌倒的人却以力量束腰.

2:5 Those who were full must hire themselves out for bread, but those who are hungry will become fat. As for the infertile, she will bear seven, but she who has many sons withers away.
饱足的, 要劳碌觅食, 饥饿的, 不再饥饿; 不能生育的, 生了七个儿女, 有过许多儿女的, 反倒衰微.

2:6 Yahweh kills and restores alive, he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
耶和华使人死, 也使人活; 使人下阴间, 也使人从阴间上来.

2:7 Yahweh makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and also exalts.
耶和华使人贫穷, 也使人富足; 使人降卑, 也使人升高.

2:8 He raises up the poor from the dust. From the ash heap he lifts up the needy, to cause them to sit with noble people and to cause them to inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth belong to Yahweh and he has set the inhabited world on them.
他从灰尘中抬举贫寒的人, 从粪堆中提拔穷乏的人, 使他们与显贵同坐, 承受尊贵的座位. 大地的柱子属于耶和华, 他把全地安放在柱子上面.

2:9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be destroyed in the darkness, because a man will not prevail by his might.
耶和华必保护虔诚人的脚步, 却使恶人在黑暗中灭亡, 因为人得胜不是靠着力量.

2:10 Yahweh will shatter his adversaries; he will thunder against them in the heavens. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king and will exalt the might of his anointed one.
至高者在天上打雷, 耶和华必打碎与他作对的人. 耶和华要审判地的四极, 却要赐力量给他所立的王, 高举他膏立之人的角. ”

2:11 Then Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. Now the boy was serving Yahweh in the presence of Eli the priest.
后来, 以利加拿回拉玛自己的家去. 那孩子却留在以利祭司面前事奉耶和华.

2:12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless scoundrels; they did not know Yahweh.
以利的两个儿子是无赖, 不尊重耶和华,

2:13 And the custom of the priests with the people was this: When any man brought a sacrifice, as the meat was boiling, the servant of the priest would take a three-pronged meat fork in his hand
也不理会当时祭司待人民的规矩. 有人献祭, 在煮肉的时候, 祭司的仆人就来, 手里拿着三齿的叉,

2:14 and would thrust it into the pan or into the kettle or into the cauldron or into the cooking pot. All that the meat fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they used to do to all of the Israelites who came there at Shiloh.
把叉子插入煎盘里, 或鼎里, 或釜里, 或锅里, 叉子插上来的, 祭司都拿去. 所有到示罗来的以色列人, 祭司都是这样待他们.

2:15 Also, before they offered up the fat as a burnt offering, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest meat for roasting, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
还有, 在焚烧脂油以前, 祭司的仆人就来, 对献祭的人说: “把祭肉交给祭司烧烤吧, 因为他不会向你要煮过的肉, 单要生的. ”

2:16 And if the man said to him, “Let them burn the fat completely first, then take for yourself as you desire,” then he would say to him, “No! Give it now! If not, I will take it by force!”
如果那人对仆人说: “必须先把脂油焚烧了, 然后你才可以随意去拿. ”他就说: “不可以, 你现在就要给我, 否则我就抢去. ”

2:17 So the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of Yahweh, because the men treated the offering of Yahweh with contempt.
这样, 那两个青年人在耶和华面前所犯的罪很大, 因为他们藐视献给耶和华的祭物.

2:18 Now Samuel was serving before Yahweh, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.
那时, 撒母耳还是个孩童, 束着细麻布的以弗得, 在耶和华面前事奉.

2:19 His mother used to make for him a small robe and take it to him year by year whenever she came up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
撒母耳的母亲每年为他做一件小外袍, 她和丈夫一同上来献年祭的时候, 就带来给他.

2:20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and he said, “May Yahweh give you an offspring from this woman in place of the petitioned one that she requested from Yahweh.” Then they went to their home.
以利给以利加拿和他的妻子祝福, 说: “愿耶和华从这妇人身上还给你后裔, 代替你献给耶和华的孩子. ”他们就回自己的地方去了.

2:21 Yahweh took note of Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters, while the young man Samuel grew up with Yahweh.
耶和华眷顾哈拿, 她再怀孕, 先后生了三个儿子和两个女儿. 那孩子撒母耳在耶和华面前, 渐渐长大.

2:22 Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel and that they were having sexual relations with the women who were serving at the entrance of the tent of assembly.
以利已经老了, 听见自己的儿子对待以色列人的一切事, 又听见他们与在会幕门口侍应的妇女同寝.

2:23 And he asked them, “Why are you doing all these things that I am hearing, namely, your evil dealings with all these people?
以利就对他们说: “你们为什么作这些事? 我亲自从众民那里听见了你们的恶行.

2:24 No, my sons, the report is not good that I am hearing the people of Yahweh spreading.
我儿啊, 不要这样, 因为我听见的消息很不好, 你们使耶和华的子民违背律法.

2:25 If a man sins against a man, then God can intercede for him. But if a man sins against Yahweh, who can intercede for him?” But they did not obey their father, because Yahweh wanted to kill them.
如果有人得罪人, 有官长(“官长”原文作“神”)惩罚他; 如果有人得罪耶和华, 有谁为他求情呢? ”他们却不听父亲的话, 因为耶和华有意要杀他们.

2:26 But the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with Yahweh and with the people.
那孩子撒母耳的身量, 耶和华和众人对他的喜爱, 都不断增长.

2:27 Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him: “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Did I not clearly reveal myself to the house of your ancestor when they were in Egypt under the house of Pharaoh?
有一位神人来见以利, 对他说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你父家在埃及法老家为奴的时候, 我不是向他们显现吗?

2:28 And I chose him from all the tribes of Israel to be a priest to me, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to bear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor all the offerings made by fire by the Israelites.
我不是从以色列众支派中, 选出他们作我的祭司, 上我的坛烧香, 在我面前穿以弗得吗? 我不是把以色列人所献的火祭, 都赐给了你的父家吗?

2:29 Why do you despise my sacrifice and my offering which I commanded for my dwelling place, while you honored your sons more than me by making yourselves fat from the best of all the offerings of my people Israel?
你们为什么还以妒羡的眼光, 轻视我所吩咐要献上的祭牲和礼物呢? 你为什么尊重你的儿子过于尊重我, 用我子民以色列所献一切最好的礼物自肥呢? ’

2:30 Therefore,’ declares Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘though I solemnly said that your house and the house of your ancestor would walk before me forever, but now,’ declares Yahweh, ‘far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me, I will treat with contempt!
因此, 耶和华以色列的神说: ‘我曾说: 你的家和你的父家, 必永远行在我面前. ’现在耶和华却说: ‘我决不容你们这样行了, 因为尊重我的, 我必尊重他; 藐视我的, 必受到轻视.

2:31 Look, days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of the house of your ancestor so that no one in your house will live to old age.
日子快到了, 我要砍下你和你父亲的膀臂, 使你家中再没有有权势的长者.

2:32 You will look at the distress of my dwelling place, despite all the good caused for Israel, but there will never be an old man in your household forever!
我赐给以色列人的一切福分, 你必像一个对头, 以嫉妒的眼光来看; 而在你的家中, 必永远再没有有权势的长者.

2:33 The only one I will not cut off from my altar is you. Rather, to cause your eyes to fail and to cause your soul to grieve, all the members of your household will die as men.
我必不从我的祭坛那里灭绝你家的人, 免得你的眼睛昏花, 心灵忧伤, 但所有你家中增添的人都必像世人一样死去.

2:34 This is the sign for you that will come regarding your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: they will both die on the same day!
你的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈所要遭遇的事, 是给你的一个证据: 他们二人必同日而死.

2:35 But I will raise up for myself a reliable priest; he will do just according to what is in my heart and in my soul. I will build for him a lasting house and he will walk continually before my anointed one forever.
我要为自己兴起一位忠心的祭司, 他必依照我的心意行事; 我要为他建立一个稳固的家, 他一生必行在我的受膏者面前.

2:36 All the remainder of your household will come to bow down before him for a bit of silver or a loaf of bread and will say, “Please assign me to one of the priestly offices so that I can eat a morsel of bread.” ’ ”
你家中剩下的人, 都要来向他下拜; 求一个银币, 一块饼, 也要说: 求你容我参与祭司的职务, 使我可以有点饼吃. ’”

I Samuel - Chapter 3

3:1 Now the boy Samuel was serving Yahweh in the presence of Eli. The word of Yahweh was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.
那孩子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和华, 在那些日子, 耶和华的言语稀少, 异象也不常有.

3:2 And then one day when Eli was lying in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow weak so that he was not able to see)
有一天, 以利躺卧在自己的地方, 他的眼睛早已昏花, 不能看得清楚了.

3:3 and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, Samuel was lying in the temple of Yahweh where the ark of God was.
神的灯还没有熄灭, 撒母耳躺卧在耶和华的殿中, 就是安放神约柜的地方.

3:4 Then Yahweh called out to Samuel and he said, “Here I am!”
耶和华呼唤撒母耳, 他说: “我在这里. ”

3:5 And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, because you called me.” But he said, “I did not call you. Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.
他就跑到以利那里, 说: “你呼唤我, 我在这里. ”以利说: “我没有呼唤你, 回去睡吧. ”他就回去睡了.

3:6 And Yahweh called Samuel again, so Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, because you called me.” And he said, “I did not call you, my son. Go back and lie down.”
耶和华再次呼唤撒母耳, 他就起来走到以利那里, 说: “你呼唤我, 我在这里. ”以利说: “我儿, 我没有呼唤你, 回去睡吧. ”

3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know Yahweh, and the word of Yahweh had not yet been revealed to him.
那时撒母耳还没有认识耶和华, 因为耶和华的话还没有向他启示.

3:8 Again Yahweh called Samuel a third time, so he got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, because you called me.” Then Eli realized that Yahweh was calling the boy.
耶和华第三次呼唤撒母耳, 他又起来, 走到以利那里, 说: “你呼唤我, 我在这里. ”以利就明白是耶和华呼唤这孩子.

3:9 So Eli said to Samuel “Go lie down. If he calls to you, then you must say, ‘Speak Yahweh, because your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
因此以利对撒母耳说: “去睡吧! 如果他呼唤你, 你就说: ‘耶和华啊! 请说, 仆人敬听. ’”于是撒母耳回去, 仍然睡在自己的地方.

3:10 Then Yahweh came and stood there and called out as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, because your servant is listening.”
耶和华又来站着, 像前几次一样呼唤: “撒母耳, 撒母耳! ”他回答: “请说! 仆人敬听. ”

3:11 So Yahweh said to Samuel, “Look, I am doing something in Israel which will cause the two ears of everyone who hears it to tingle.
耶和华对撒母耳说: “看哪! 我要在以色列中行一件事, 听见的人, 都必耳鸣;

3:12 On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken against his household, from beginning to end.
在那日, 我必在以利身上彻底实现我论到他的家所说的一切话.

3:13 I will make him know that I am about to judge his household forever because of the iniquity that he knew, for his sons were bringing curses on themselves, but he did not rebuke them.
我曾告诉他: ‘我必按着他所知道的罪孽永远处罚他的家. 这罪就是他的儿子自招咒诅, 他也不责备他们. ’

3:14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli that the iniquity of the house of Eli would not be atoned for by sacrifice or by offering forever.”
所以我向以利家起了誓: ‘以利家的罪孽永远不能用祭物或供物来买赎. ’”

3:15 So Samuel lay down until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, but Samuel was afraid of telling the vision to Eli.
撒母耳睡到天亮, 他就开了耶和华殿的门. 但撒母耳不敢把异象告诉以利.

3:16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” And he said, “Here I am.”
以利呼唤撒母耳, 说: “我儿撒母耳! ”他回答: “我在这里. ”

3:17 And he said, “What is the message that he spoke to you? Please do not conceal it from me. May God punish you severely if you conceal anything from me of all the words that he told you.”
以利说: “耶和华对你说了什么话呢? 你不要向我隐瞒, 他对你所说的一切话, 如果你向我隐瞒一句, 愿神对付你, 并且加倍对付你. ”

3:18 So Samuel told him all the words and did not conceal anything from him. And he said, “He is Yahweh, he will do what is good in his sight.”
于是撒母耳把一切话都告诉了以利, 一句也没有隐瞒. 以利说: “他是耶和华, 他看怎么好, 就怎么行吧. ”

3:19 And Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him. He did not allow any of his prophecies to go unfulfilled.
撒母耳渐渐长大, 耶和华与他同在, 使他所说的一切话, 没有一句落空.

3:20 All Israel from Dan to Beersheba realized that Samuel was faithful as a prophet to Yahweh.
从但到别是巴, 以色列人都知道撒母耳被耶和华确立为先知.

3:21 And Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh through the word of Yahweh.
耶和华又在示罗显现, 因为耶和华在示罗借着他的话向撒母耳启示自己.

I Samuel - Chapter 4

4:1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines encamped at Aphek.
撒母耳的话传遍了以色列. 那时, 以色列人出去迎战非利士人, 他们靠近以便以谢安营, 非利士人却在亚弗安营.

4:2 The Philistines lined up for the battle to meet Israel, and the battle was prolonged until Israel was defeated before the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men on the battlefield.
非利士人列阵, 要与以色列人交战. 战事展开后, 以色列人败在非利士人面前, 非利士人在战场上杀了约四千人.

4:3 When the army came back to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why has Yahweh defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to us from Shiloh so that it may come into our midst and deliver us from the hand of our enemies.”
军队回到营里, 以色列的长老说: “今天耶和华为什么在非利士人面前击败我们呢? 我们要把耶和华的约柜从示罗抬到我们这里来. 约柜一到我们中间, 就会拯救我们脱离仇敌的手. ”

4:4 So the army sent to Shiloh and brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts who sits between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
于是他们派人到示罗去, 从那里把坐在二基路伯中间万军之耶和华的约柜抬来; 以利的两个儿子, 何弗尼和非尼哈, 也与神的约柜一同来了.

4:5 Now when the ark of the covenant of Yahweh arrived at the camp, all Israel let out a loud shout so that the earth shook.
耶和华的约柜来到营中的时候, 以色列众人就大声欢呼, 大地也回声响应.

4:6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, “What is the noise of this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews?” Then they learned that the ark of Yahweh had come into the camp.
非利士人听见了欢呼的声音, 就问: “在希伯来人的营中为什么有这样大声的欢呼呢? ”后来才知道耶和华的约柜来到了营中.

4:7 So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come to the camp.” And they said, “Woe to us, for this has never happened before!
非利士人就害怕起来, 他们说: “有神来到他们的营中了. ”又说: “我们有祸了! 因为从来没有这样的事.

4:8 Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the same gods who struck the Egyptians with all sorts of plagues in the desert.
我们有祸了! 从前在旷野用各样灾祸击打埃及人的, 就是这些神. 谁能救我们脱离这些大能之神的手呢?

4:9 Take courage and be men, you Philistines, lest you end up serving the Hebrews just like they have served you. Be men and fight!”
非利士人哪! 你们要刚强, 要作大丈夫, 免得你们作希伯来人的奴仆, 好像他们作过你们的奴仆一样; 你们要作大丈夫, 作战吧! ”

4:10 So the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated and each man fled to his tent, for the slaughter was very great. Thirty thousand foot soldiers from Israel fell.
于是非利士人起来作战, 以色列人就被击败, 各人都往自己的帐棚逃跑. 这是一场大屠杀, 以色列人中有三万步兵阵亡.

4:11 Furthermore, the ark of God was captured, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
神的约柜也被抢去, 以利的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈也死了.

4:12 A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh that same day, and his clothes were torn and earth was on his head.
有一个便雅悯人跑离战场, 衣服撕裂, 头蒙尘土, 当天来到示罗.

4:13 When he came, there was Eli sitting on his chair by the side of the road watching, because his heart was anxious about the ark of God. Now the man had come to give his report in the city, and all the city cried out.
他来到的时候, 以利正在路旁坐在自己的椅子上观望, 因为他为神的约柜担忧战栗. 那人进城里报信, 全城的人就都喊叫起来.

4:14 When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, “What is the noise of this commotion?” Then the man came quickly and told Eli.
以利听见喊叫的声音, 就问: “这喧嚷的声音是什么意思呢? ”那人急忙前来, 向以利报告.

4:15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old and his eyes stayed fixed ahead and he was not able to see.
那时以利九十八岁了, 眼睛发直, 不能看见.

4:16 And the man said to Eli, “I am the one who has come from the battle line! I have fled today from the battle line!” And he said, “What exactly happened, my son?”
那人告诉以利: “我是从战场上来的, 今天从战场上逃回来. ”以利问: “我儿, 事情怎么样? ”

4:17 Then the messenger answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines. There has been a great defeat among the troops. Also, your two sons have died, Hophni and Phinehas, and the ark of God has been captured.”
报信的人回答, 说: “以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑, 伤亡惨重, 你两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈也都死了, 民中被杀的甚多, 神的约柜也被抢去了. ”

4:18 Just as he mentioned the ark of God, he fell from his chair backwards against the side of the gate. He broke his neck and died, because the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
因为以利年老体重, 报信的人一提到神的约柜, 以利就从椅子上往后跌倒在门旁, 颈骨折断而死. 以利治理了以色列四十年.

4:19 Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news concerning the capture of the ark of God and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she went into labor and gave birth, because her labor pains came upon her.
以利的媳妇, 非尼哈的妻子怀了孕, 产期近了; 她一听见神的约柜被抢去, 以及她公公和丈夫都死了的消息, 就忽然感到疼痛, 曲身生产了.

4:20 Just before the time of her death, those attending her said, “Do not fear, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not answer, or pay any attention.
她快要死的时候, 站在旁边的妇女们对她说: “不要怕, 你生了一个儿子! ”她却不回答, 也不理会.

4:21 She called the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” referring to the capture of the ark of God and concerning her father-in-law and husband.
她给孩子起名叫以迦博, 说: “荣耀已经离开以色列了. ”这是因为神的约柜被抢去, 又因为她的公公和丈夫都死了.

4:22 And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, because the ark of God was captured.”
她说: “荣耀已经离开了以色列, 因为神的约柜被抢去了. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 5

5:1 Now the Philistines had captured the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
非利士人抢去了神的约柜, 就把它从以便以谢运到亚实突.

5:2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the temple of Dagon and placed it beside Dagon.
非利士人抢去神的约柜, 把它抬进大衮庙, 放在大衮神像的旁边.

5:3 When the Ashdodites got up early the next morning, there was Dagon fallen with his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh! So they took Dagon and returned him to his place.
第二天清早, 亚实突人起来, 看见大衮神像仆倒在地, 俯伏在耶和华的约柜面前. 他们就把大衮神像竖立起来, 放回原处.

5:4 When they got up early in the morning the next day, there was Dagon fallen again with his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh! The head of Dagon and the palms of his two hands were cut off, lying at the threshold; only the body of Dagon was left.
再次日早晨, 他们起来的时候, 看见大衮神像又仆倒在地, 俯伏在耶和华的约柜面前, 大衮的头和双手也都在门槛上折断了, 只剩下大衮的身体.

5:5 (Therefore the priests of Dagon and all who come into the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod until this very day.)
因此大衮的祭司和所有进亚实突大衮庙的人, 都不踏大衮庙的门槛, 直到现在.

5:6 Now the hand of Yahweh was heavy against the Ashdodites and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, both in Ashdod and its territories.
耶和华的手重重地压在亚实突人身上, 败坏他们, 用痔疮击打亚实突和亚实突四境的人.

5:7 The men of Ashdod saw that it was so, and they said, “The ark of the God of Israel should not remain with us, because his hand is harsh on us and on Dagon our god!”
亚实突人看见这种情形, 就说: “以色列神的约柜不可再留在我们这里, 因为他的手重重地加在我们和我们的神大衮身上. ”

5:8 So they sent and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines to them, and they asked, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” And they said, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around toward Gath.” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel to Gath.
他们就派人去召集非利士人各城的首领前来, 问他们: “我们要怎样处理以色列神的约柜呢? ”他们回答: “把以色列神的约柜运到迦特去吧. ”他们就把它运到迦特去了.

5:9 After they moved it, the hand of Yahweh was against the city, causing a very great confusion, and he struck the men of the city from the youngest to the oldest, causing tumors to break out on them.
运到那里以后, 耶和华的手攻击那城, 引起很大的恐慌. 他击打全城的人, 不分老幼, 使痔疮在他们中间蔓延.

5:10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But when the ark of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought around the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our people!”
于是他们把神的约柜送到以革伦. 神的约柜到了以革伦的时候, 以革伦人就喊叫: “他们把以色列神的约柜运到我们这里来, 是要杀害我们和我们的人啊! ”

5:11 So they sent and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines, and they said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel and let it return to its place, so that it will not kill us and our people.” For a deadly confusion was throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
于是他们派人去召集非利士人各城的首领前来, 对他们说: “请把以色列神的约柜送回原处, 免得它杀害我们和我们的人民. ”死亡的恐慌笼罩全城, 因为神的手重重地压在那里.

5:12 The men who did not die were struck with the tumors, so that the cry of the city for help went up to heaven.
没有死的人都遭受痔疮的打击; 那城的哀声, 上达于天.

I Samuel - Chapter 6

6:1 Now the ark of Yahweh had been in the territory of the Philistines for seven months,
耶和华的约柜在非利士人的地方有七个月之久.

6:2 and the Philistines called to the priests and to those who practiced divination, saying, “What should we do with the ark of Yahweh? Inform us how we should send it to its place.”
非利士人把众祭司和占卜的都召了来, 问他们: “我们应该怎样处理耶和华的约柜呢? 请告诉我们, 要怎样才能把它送回原处呢? ”

6:3 They said, “If you are sending the ark of the God of Israel away, you must not send it away empty, but by all means return it with a guilt offering. Then you will be healed and it will become known to you why his hand is not turned aside from you.”
他们回答: “你们把以色列神的约柜送回去的时候, 不可空空地把它送回去, 却要偿还赔罪的礼物, 这样, 你们就可以得着医治, 也可以知道, 为什么他的手没有离开你们. ”

6:4 And they said, “What is the guilt offering that we should return to him?” They said, “The number of the rulers of the Philistines is five. Therefore send five gold tumors and five gold mice, because one plague was on all of you and all your rulers.
非利士人问: “我们应当偿给他什么作赔罪的礼物呢? ”他们回答: “要按照非利士人各城首领的数目, 用五个金痔疮和五只金老鼠作赔罪的礼物, 因为你们所有的人和你们各城的首领所遭遇的, 都是一样的灾祸.

6:5 You must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that are ravaging the land, and you must give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand on you and on your gods and on your land.
所以你们要做痔疮的像和毁坏田地的老鼠的像, 还要把荣耀归给以色列的神. 也许他会向你们,你们的神和你们的田地手下留情.

6:6 Why should you harden your hearts like the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? Is it not just like when he dealt with them wantonly so that they sent them away and they left?
你们为什么要硬着心, 像以前埃及人和法老那样呢? 神严严地对付他们以后, 他们不是放走了以色列人, 以色列人不是真的离开了吗?

6:7 So then, prepare one new utility cart and two milking cows that have never had a yoke on them, and you must harness the cows to the utility cart and then turn their calves from following them to their stall.
现在你们要预备一辆新车和两头仍在乳养小牛,未曾负过轭的母牛, 把它们紧紧套在车上, 把小牛从它们身边带回棚里去.

6:8 And you must take the ark of Yahweh and place it on the utility cart with the gold objects that you are returning to him as a guilt offering. You must place them in the container beside the ark and then send it off so that it goes away.
你们要把耶和华的约柜搬来, 放在车上, 把那些偿给他作赔罪礼物的金器放在盒子里, 放置在约柜旁边, 然后把它送上路, 让它自己走.

6:9 You must watch; if it goes up by the way of its territory to Beth Shemesh, he has caused this great disaster to come on us. But if not, then we will know his hand has not struck us; it was by chance that this happened to us.
你们要留意看, 如果它是走向自己的境界, 往伯．示麦去, 那么就是耶和华降这大灾给我们; 如果不是这样, 我们就知道, 不是他的手攻击我们, 我们遭遇的不过是偶然的事. ”

6:10 So the men did so; they took two milking cows and harnessed them to the utility cart, but they shut up their calves in the stall.
非利士人就照着去行. 他们牵来两头还在乳养小牛的母牛, 把它们紧紧套在车上, 把小牛关在棚里.

6:11 Then they put the ark of Yahweh on the utility cart with the container holding the gold mice and the images of their tumors.
他们又把耶和华的约柜, 装金老鼠和痔疮像的盒子, 都放在车上.

6:12 The cows went straight on the way on the road to Beth Shemesh, on the one main road, lowing as they went. They did not turn aside to the right or to the left, and the rulers of the Philistines were walking after them up to the border of Beth Shemesh.
牛向着伯．示麦的路上直奔, 如同走在一条大路上, 一面走一面叫, 不偏左也不偏右. 非利士各城的首领在后面跟着走, 直到伯．示麦的边界.

6:13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping the wheat harvest in the valley. They lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and they were glad to see it.
那时, 伯．示麦人正在谷中收割麦子, 他们举目观看, 看见了约柜, 就欢欢喜喜迎见约柜.

6:14 The utility cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh and stopped there where there was a large stone. They split the wood of the utility cart and sacrificed the cows as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
牛车到了伯．示麦人约书亚的田间, 就停在那里; 那里有一块大石, 他们把做那车的木料劈开, 又把那两只母牛作燔祭献给耶和华.

6:15 Then the Levites took down the ark of Yahweh and the container that was beside it, in which were the gold objects, and they set them on the large stone. Then the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings, and they made sacrifices to Yahweh on that day.
利未人把耶和华的约柜, 与它一同送来装有金器的盒子, 都搬了下来, 放在大石上; 那一天, 伯．示麦人向耶和华献上燔祭, 又献上其他的祭.

6:16 The five rulers of the Philistines saw it and returned to Ekron that same day.
非利士人的五个首领看见了, 当天就回以革伦去.

6:17 Now these are the gold tumors which the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to Yahweh: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron.
这些金痔疮, 就是非利士人偿给耶和华作赔罪的礼物的, 一个是为亚实突, 一个是为迦萨, 一个是为亚实基伦, 一个是为迦特, 一个是为以革伦.

6:18 And the gold mice according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, for their five rulers, from the fortified city to the unwalled village of the open country as far as the great stone, where they set the ark of Yahweh until this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
金老鼠的数目是按照非利士人五个首领所有的城市的数目, 包括设防城和乡村. 他们安放耶和华约柜的那块大石, 直到现在还是在伯．示麦人约书亚的田间, 是一个证物.

6:19 He struck seventy men among the men of Beth Shemesh because they looked into the ark of Yahweh. So the people mourned because Yahweh had struck a great blow among the people.
耶和华因为伯．示麦人偷窥他的约柜, 就击杀他们; 他击杀了七十人(“七十人”大多数抄本都作“五万零七十人”, 少数抄本作“七十人”). 众人因为耶和华用大灾击杀他们, 就哀哭起来.

6:20 Then the men of Beth Shemesh asked, “Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? And to whom shall it go up from us?”
伯．示麦人说: “在耶和华这位圣洁的神面前, 谁能站立得住呢? 他可以从我们这里上到哪里去呢? ”

6:21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of Yahweh. Come down and take it up to yourselves.”
于是他们派遣使者到基列．耶琳的居民那里去, 对他们说: “非利士人把耶和华的约柜送回来了. 你们下来把它接到你们那里去吧. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 7

7:1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and brought up the ark of Yahweh, and they brought it to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah. They consecrated Eleazer his son to guard the ark of Yahweh.
基列．耶琳人就前来, 把耶和华的约柜抬上去; 他们把它抬到山上亚比拿达的家中, 又把他的儿子以利亚撒分别为圣, 看守耶和华的约柜.

7:2 From the day the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, days multiplied and became twenty years while all the house of Israel mourned after Yahweh.
约柜停留在基列．耶琳很久, 有二十年之久, 以色列全家都痛悔寻求耶和华.

7:3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If with all your heart you are turning to Yahweh, remove the foreign gods and Ashtoreths from your midst. Commit your hearts to Yahweh and serve him alone. Then he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”
于是撒母耳对以色列全家说: “如果你们一心归向耶和华, 就当把外族的神和亚斯他录从你们中间除掉, 专心归向耶和华, 单单事奉他, 他必救你们脱离非利士人的手. ”

7:4 So the Israelites removed the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and they served Yahweh alone.
以色列人就除掉众巴力和亚斯他录, 单单事奉耶和华.

7:5 Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.”
撒母耳又说: “你们要把以色列众人都聚集在米斯巴, 我好为你们向耶和华祷告. ”

7:6 So they gathered to Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before Yahweh. They fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh!” So Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.
于是, 他们聚集在米斯巴, 打了水, 浇奠在耶和华面前; 当日他们禁食, 并且在那里说: “我们得罪了耶和华. ”撒母耳就在米斯巴治理以色列人.

7:7 Now when the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the Israelites heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
非利士人听见以色列人集合在米斯巴, 各城的领袖就上来攻打以色列人; 以色列人听见了, 都害怕起来.

7:8 Then the Israelites said to Samuel, “You must not cease from crying out to Yahweh our God, so that he will deliver us from the hand of the Philistines.”
以色列人对撒母耳说: “请你不要静默, 为我们呼求耶和华我们的神吧, 好叫他拯救我们脱离非利士人的手. ”

7:9 So Samuel took a single nursing lamb and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Then Samuel cried out to Yahweh on behalf of Israel, and Yahweh answered him.
撒母耳就牵来一只还在吃奶的羊羔, 把它作全牲的燔祭献给耶和华, 又为以色列人向耶和华呼求, 耶和华就应允他.

7:10 While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near for the battle against Israel. But Yahweh thundered against the Philistines with a great noise on that day and threw them into confusion so that they were defeated before Israel.
撒母耳正在献上燔祭的时候, 非利士人前来要与以色列人争战. 当天, 耶和华发出极大的雷声, 攻击非利士人, 使他们溃乱, 他们就在以色列人面前被击败.

7:11 Then the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and they struck them down as far as below Beth Car.
于是以色列人从米斯巴出去, 追赶非利士人, 击杀他们, 直到伯．甲的下边.

7:12 So Samuel took a single stone and put it between Mizpah and Shen, and he named it Ebenezer and said, “Up to here Yahweh has helped us.”
撒母耳搬来了一块石头, 把它竖立在米斯巴和善之间, 给这块石头起名叫以便以谢, 说: “直到现在, 耶和华都帮助我们. ”

7:13 So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come into the territory of Israel again, and the hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
这样, 非利士人就被制伏了, 不再侵犯以色列的境界. 撒母耳在世的日子, 耶和华的手一直攻击非利士人.

7:14 The towns which the Philistines had taken from Israel were returned to Israel from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their territories from the hand of the Philistines. Then there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
非利士人从以色列人夺得的城市, 自以革伦直到迦特, 都归还以色列人; 属于这些城市的四境, 以色列人也从非利士人手中夺回. 那时, 以色列人和亚摩利人和平相处.

7:15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
撒母耳终生作以色列人的士师.

7:16 He used to go on the circuit from year to year. He went around Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and he judged Israel in all these places.
他每年都巡回伯特利,吉甲和米斯巴, 在这些地方治理以色列人.

7:17 Then he returned to Ramah, because his house was there, and there he judged Israel, and he built an altar to Yahweh there.
然后, 他回到拉玛, 因为他的家在那里. 他也在那里治理以色列人, 并且在那里为耶和华筑了一座祭坛.

I Samuel - Chapter 8

8:1 When Samuel grew old he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
撒母耳年老的时候, 立了他的儿子作以色列人的士师.

8:2 The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second son was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
他的长子名叫约珥, 次子名叫亚比亚, 都在别是巴作士师.

8:3 But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after gain, they took bribes, and they perverted justice.
两个儿子都没有行撒母耳的道路, 反而转去追求不义之财, 收受贿赂, 屈枉正直.

8:4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
于是以色列所有的长老都集合起来, 到拉玛去见撒母耳,

8:5 They said to him, “Look, you are old and your sons do not follow in your ways. So then appoint a king for us to judge us, like all the nations.
对他说: “你老了, 看哪, 你的儿子不行你的道路, 现在求你为我们立一个王治理我们, 好像列国一样. ”

8:6 But the matter was displeasing to Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” so Samuel prayed to Yahweh.
他们说“求你为我们立一个王治理我们”这件事, 使撒母耳很不高兴, 他就祷告耶和华.

8:7 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people concerning all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.
耶和华对撒母耳说: “众民对你所说的一切, 你只管听从, 因为他们不是厌弃你, 而是厌弃我, 不要我作他们的王.

8:8 Like all the deeds they have done from the day I brought them up from Egypt until this day, they have forsaken me and have served other gods—so they are doing to you also.
自从我把他们从埃及领上来的那天起, 直到现在, 他们怎样离开我, 事奉别的神, 他们对我所行的一切, 也照样对你行.

8:9 And so then, listen to their voice. However, you must earnestly warn them; you must explain to them the custom of the king who will rule over them.”
现在你只管听从他们的话, 但必须郑重警告他们, 告诉他们那要统治他们的王要怎样治理他们. ”

8:10 So Samuel spoke all the words of Yahweh to the people who were requesting a king from him.
于是, 撒母耳把耶和华所讲的一切话都告诉那些向他要求一个王的民众,

8:11 He said, “This will be the custom of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and his horsemen, and they will run before his chariots.
说: “那要统治你们的王将这样治理你们: 他必征用你们的儿子, 派他们作他的战车兵,骑兵,在车前奔走的前锋,

8:12 He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and those to do his plowing and to reap his harvest, and those to make weapons of war and the equipment for his chariots.
又派他们作千夫长,五十夫长, 替他耕田,收他的庄稼,替他制造作战的武器和战车上的装备.

8:13 He will take your daughters as his perfume makers and as cooks and as bakers.
他必征用你们的女儿作配香膏的,烧饭的和烤饼的.

8:14 He will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive trees and will give them to his servants.
他必夺去你们最好的田地,葡萄园和橄榄园, 赐给自己的臣仆.

8:15 He will take a tenth of your seed and your vineyards and give it to his high officials and to his servants.
你们撒种所得的和葡萄园所出的, 他都征收十分之一, 赐给他的太监和臣仆.

8:16 He will take your male slaves and your female slaves and the best of your young men and your donkeys and will use them for his projects.
他又必征收你们的仆婢,最精壮的青年和驴, 替他工作.

8:17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.
你们的羊群, 他要征收十分之一; 连你们自己也作他的奴仆.

8:18 So you will cry out on that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but Yahweh will not answer you on that day!”
到时, 你们必因你们为自己拣选的王而哀求, 那时耶和华却不应允你们. ”

8:19 However, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel and they said, “No, but there must be a king over us,
众民竟不肯听从撒母耳的话, 说: “不, 我们要一个王治理我们,

8:20 so that we also may be like all the nations, and our king may rule us and go out before us and fight our battles.”
让我们也像列国一样, 有自己的王治理我们, 帅领我们出征, 为我们作战. ”

8:21 Now when Samuel heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the ears of Yahweh.
撒母耳听了众民的一切话, 就向耶和华复述.

8:22 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and appoint a king for them.” So Samuel spoke to the men of Israel, “Each of you go to his own town.”
耶和华对撒母耳说: “你只管听从他们的话, 为他们立一个王. ”于是撒母耳对以色列人说: “你们各人回自己的城去吧. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 9

9:1 Now there was a man from Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjaminite, a very wealthy man.
有一个便雅悯人, 名叫基士, 是亚别的儿子. 亚别是洗罗的儿子, 洗罗是比歌拉的儿子, 比歌拉是亚斐亚的儿子. (这便雅悯人是个大财主. )

9:2 He had a son whose name was Saul, a young and handsome man. There was not a man from the Israelites more handsome than he was; from his shoulders up, he was taller than all the people.
他有一个儿子, 名叫扫罗, 既年轻又英俊; 在以色列人中, 没有一个能比他更英俊的. 他比人高出一个头.

9:3 Now the female donkeys of Kish the father of Saul got lost, and Kish said to Saul his son, “Please take one of the servants with you and get up; go and seek the female donkeys.”
扫罗的父亲基士有几头母驴走失了, 他就对他的儿子扫罗说: “你带一个仆人, 动身去寻找母驴吧! ”

9:4 So he passed through the hill country of Ephraim; he passed through the land of Shalisha but they did not find them. They passed through the land of Shaalim but they were not there. He passed through the land of Benjamin but did not find them.
扫罗走遍以法莲山地, 又走遍沙利沙地, 但他们都没有找到. 他们又走遍沙琳地, 母驴也不在那里; 又走遍便雅悯地, 还是找不到.

9:5 When they entered the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come, let us return, lest my father cease caring about the female donkeys and worry about us!”
他们到了苏弗地, 扫罗对跟随他的仆人说: “来, 我们回去吧, 恐怕我父亲不为母驴挂心, 反而为我们担忧了. ”

9:6 But he said to him, “Look, a man of God is in this town, and the man is honored. All that he says certainly comes true. So then let us go there; perhaps he will tell us about our journey on which we have gone.”
仆人对他说: “看哪, 这城里有一位神人, 很受人敬重, 他所说的, 都必应验. 现在, 我们到他那里去吧, 也许他会告诉我们当走的路. ”

9:7 So Saul said to his servant, “Look, we may go, but what should we bring to the man? For the bread is gone from our bags, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have with us?”
扫罗对仆人说: “如果我们去, 有什么可以送给那人呢? 因为我们袋里的食物都已经用尽了, 也没有礼物可以送给那神人, 我们还有什么呢? ”

9:8 The servant again answered Saul and said, “Look, I have in my hand a quarter shekel of silver! I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us our way.”
仆人回答扫罗: “看哪! 我手里有三克银子, 可以送给那神人, 请他告诉我们应该走的路. ”

9:9 (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he would say: “Come, let us go up to the seer.” For the prophet of today was formerly called a seer.)
从前在以色列中, 有人去求问神的时候, 就这样说: “来, 我们去见先见吧. ”因为今天称为先知的, 从前称为先见.

9:10 So Saul said to his servant, “Your suggestion is a good one. Come, let us go.” And they went to the town where the man of God was.
扫罗对仆人说: “你说的好. 来, 我们去吧! ”于是他们到那神人所住的城里去.

9:11 They were going up the ascent of the town when they found young women going out to draw water. They said to them, “Is there the seer here?”
他们正上山坡要进城的时候, 就遇见几个少女出来打水. 他们就问那些少女: “先见在这里吗? ”

9:12 They answered them and said, “There is. Look, he is just in front of you! Hurry now, because he has come to the town today, because there is a sacrifice for the people today at the high place.
那些少女回答他们说: “在这里! 他就在你们前面, 现在快去吧! 他今天正到这城里来, 因为今天在邱?上, 人民有献祭的事.

9:13 As soon as you enter the town, you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice. Then afterward the invited guests will eat. So then, go up, because you will find him today!”
你们一进城, 在他登上邱坛吃祭物之前, 必遇见他. 因为他未到, 众人不能先吃, 他必先为祭物祝谢, 然后客人才可以吃. 现在你们上去吧! 今天, 你们必可遇见他. ”

9:14 So they went up to the town. As they were entering into the middle of the town, Samuel was coming forth to meet them, to go up to the high place.
于是二人上那城去; 他们正进城的时候, 撒母耳就迎着他们出来, 要上邱坛去.

9:15 Now Yahweh had revealed this to Samuel the day before Saul arrived, saying,
原来, 在扫罗来到的前一天, 耶和华已经启示撒母耳说:

9:16 “This time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you must anoint him as leader over my people Israel. He will deliver my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have seen the suffering of my people, because their cry of distress has come to me.”
“明天大约这个时候, 我要差派一个人从便雅悯地到你那里去, 你要膏立他作我子民以色列人的领袖. 他要拯救我的子民脱离非利士人的手. 我眷顾了我的子民, 因为他们的哀求已经达到我这里. ”

9:17 When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh answered him, “Here is the man about whom I told you! This is the one who will govern my people.”
撒母耳看见了扫罗, 耶和华就对撒母耳说: “你看, 这就是我对你所说的那人, 他要统治我的子民. ”

9:18 Then Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate and said, “Please tell me, where is the house of the seer?”
扫罗在城门口, 走近撒母耳跟前, 说: “请告诉我先见的家在哪里? ”

9:19 Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up ahead of me to the high place, and you will eat with me today; then I will send you away in the morning. I will tell you all that is on your mind.
撒母耳回答扫罗: “我就是先见, 请你在我前面上邱坛去. 今天你们要与我一同吃饭, 明天早晨我就送你回去. 你心里的一切事, 我都会告诉你.

9:20 And as for your female donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be concerned about them, because they have been found. For whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not for you and for all the house of your father?”
至于你前三天失了的母驴, 你不必为它们担心, 因为都已经找到了. 以色列众人所渴求的是谁呢? 不是你和你的父家吗? ”

9:21 Saul answered and said, “Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the humblest of all the families of the tribes of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me in this way?”
扫罗回答: “我不是以色列众支派中最微小的便雅悯人吗? 我的家族不是便雅悯支派的家族中最微小的吗? 你为什么对我说这样的话呢? ”

9:22 So Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them to a room in the building and gave them a place at the head of the invited guests. There were about thirty men.
撒母耳把扫罗和扫罗的仆人领进了客厅, 使他们坐在客人中的首位; 那里约有三十人.

9:23 Then Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion that I gave to you, about which I said to you, ‘Keep it with you.’ ”
撒母耳对厨师说: “我交给你, 吩咐你存放好的那一份祭肉, 现在可以拿来. ”

9:24 So the cook took up the shank and what was on it and put it before Saul, and he said, “Look, the saved portion is placed before you—eat, because it has been kept for you for the appointed time,” and he said, “I have invited the people.” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
厨师就把那条腿肉拿上来, 摆在扫罗面前. 撒母耳说: “这是为你留下的, 现在摆在你面前, 请吃吧! 因为这是我邀请众人的时候, 特地为这时刻保留的. ”于是, 当天扫罗就与撒母耳一同吃饭.

9:25 When they came down from the high place to the town, he spoke with Saul on the roof.
他们从邱坛下来, 进到城里; 撒母耳和扫罗在房顶上说话.

9:26 They got up early, and as dawn was breaking, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, “Get up, so that I can send you away.” So Saul got up and the two of them, he and Samuel, went outside.
他们清早起来; 天快亮的时候, 撒母耳在房顶上呼叫扫罗说: “起来吧, 我要送你回去. ”扫罗就起来. 于是, 他与撒母耳二人一起到外面去.

9:27 As they were going down to the outskirts of the town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to pass on before us. When he has passed, you stand here a while, so that I can make known to you the word of God.”
他们下到城边的时候, 撒母耳对扫罗说: “吩咐你的仆人先走. (仆人就先走了. )你暂且留在这里, 我好把神的话讲给你听. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 10

10:1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it over his head and kissed him and said, “Has not Yahweh anointed you as leader over his inheritance?
撒母耳拿了一瓶膏油, 倒在扫罗的头上, 又与他亲嘴, 说: “耶和华不是已经膏立你作他产业的领袖吗?

10:2 As you go from with me today, you will find two men near the burial site of Rachel in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will say to you, ‘The female donkeys that you went to search for have been found.’ Now look, your father is no longer concerned about the female donkeys and has begun worrying about you, saying, ‘What should I do about my son?’
今天你离开我以后, 在便雅悯境内的泄撒, 靠近拉结坟墓的旁边, 必遇见两个人. 他们会对你说: ‘你去寻找的那几头母驴已经找到了. 现在你父亲放下了母驴的事, 反而为你担忧, 说: 我为我的儿子要怎么办呢? ’

10:3 Then you will go on from there and further you will come to the oak of Tabor. There three men will meet you, who are going up to God at Bethel. One will be carrying three male kid goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a skin of wine.
你要从那里再往前去, 直到他泊的橡树那里, 必遇见三个上伯特利去敬拜神的人, 一个带着三只山羊羔, 一个带着三个饼, 一个带着一皮袋酒.

10:4 They will ask how you are doing and will give you two loaves, which you will take from their hand.
他们必向你问安, 并且给你两个饼, 你要从他们手中接过来.

10:5 After this, you will come to the Gibeah of God, where there are sentries of the Philistines. Just as you enter the town there, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place, with harp, tambourine, flute, and zither before them, and they will be prophesying.
然后, 你要到神的山去, 那里有非利士人的驻军. 你进城的时候, 会遇见一班先知从邱坛上下来. 在他们前面有鼓瑟的,打鼓的,吹笛的,弹琴的. 他们都受感说话.

10:6 Then the Spirit of Yahweh will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will turn into a different person.
耶和华的灵必大大感动你, 你就要与他们一同受感说话, 变成另一个人.

10:7 When these signs come to you, do for yourself what your hand finds to do, for God will be with you.
这些征兆临到你的时候, 你就可以见机行事, 因为神与你同在.

10:8 Then you will go down before me to Gilgal. Look, I am coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and to make fellowship offerings. You must wait seven days until I come to you. Then I will let you know what you should do.”
你要在我以先下到吉甲去, 我也要下到你那里去献燔祭和平安祭. 你要等候七天, 等我到了你那里, 指示你所当行的. ”

10:9 Just as he turned his shoulder to depart from Samuel, God changed his heart. And all these signs were fulfilled on that day.
扫罗转身离开撒母耳的时候, 神就改变了他, 赐给他一颗新心. 那一天, 这一切征兆都实现了.

10:10 When they went from there to Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them.
扫罗到了那山, 有一班先知迎面而来. 神的灵大大感动他, 他就在他们中间受感说话.

10:11 And when all who knew him formerly saw that he prophesied with prophets, the people said to one another, “What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
所有以前认识扫罗的人, 看见他和他们一起受感说话, 就彼此说: “基士的儿子怎么啦! 扫罗也列在先知中间吗? ”

10:12 And a man from there responded and said, “And who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
那里有一个人回答: “这些人的父亲是谁呢? ”因此, 后来有句俗语说: “扫罗也列在先知中间吗? ”

10:13 When he finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
扫罗受感说话完了以后, 就到邱坛去了.

10:14 Then Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And he said, “To search for the female donkeys; and when we saw none, we went to Samuel.”
扫罗的叔叔问扫罗和他的仆人说: “你们到哪里去了? ”他回答: “找母驴去. 我们找不到, 就去见撒母耳. ”

10:15 So Saul’s uncle said to him, “Please tell me, what did Samuel say to you?”
扫罗的叔叔说: “你把撒母耳对你们所说的话告诉我. ”

10:16 Then Saul said to his uncle, “He told us for certain that the female donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingship of which Samuel had spoken.
扫罗对他叔叔说: “他清楚地告诉我们, 母驴已经找到了. ”至于撒母耳所说有关王国的事, 扫罗却没有告诉他的叔叔.

10:17 Then Samuel summoned the people to Yahweh at Mizpah,
撒母耳召集众民到米斯巴耶和华那里,

10:18 and he said to the Israelites, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I brought Israel up from Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’
对他们说: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘我把你们以色列人从埃及带上来, 我救你们脱离埃及人的手, 又救你们脱离所有欺压你们的列国人的手. ’

10:19 But you today have rejected your God who always delivers you from all of your calamities and your distresses. You have said to him, ‘No, but you must appoint a king over us!’ So then present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your clans.”
你们今天却离弃了那位拯救你们脱离一切灾难和困苦的神, 竟对他说: ‘求你立一个王统治我们. ’现在你们要按着你们的支派和家族, 站在耶和华面前. ”

10:20 So Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected by lot.
撒母耳使以色列众支派都近前来, 抽签抽中了便雅悯支派;

10:21 Then he brought near the tribe of Benjamin according to its families, and the family of Matri was selected by lot. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen, and they sought him, but he could not be found.
他又使便雅悯支派按着家族近前来, 抽签抽中了马特利; 再抽签抽中了基士的儿子扫罗. 众人寻找他, 却找不到.

10:22 So they inquired again of Yahweh, “Did the man come here?” And Yahweh said, “Look, he is hiding himself among the baggage.”
于是他们求问耶和华: “那人到这里来了没有? ”耶和华说: “他躲在那些物件中. ”

10:23 So they ran and took him from there, and when he took his stand among the people, he was taller than all the people from his shoulders and up.
他们就跑过去, 把他从那里领出来; 他站在众人中间, 比众人都高出一个头.

10:24 Then Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen? For there is no one like him among all the people!” And all the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
撒母耳对众民说: “你们看见耶和华所拣选的人没有? 在众人中没有一个可与他相比. ”众人就大声欢呼: “愿王万岁! ”

10:25 Then Samuel told the people the custom of the kingship, and he wrote the rules down on a scroll and laid it before Yahweh. Then Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own house.
撒母耳把国法对众人述说了, 又记在书上, 存放在耶和华面前, 然后遣散众人, 各回自己的家去了.

10:26 And Saul also went to his house at Gibeah, and the troops whose hearts God had touched went with him.
扫罗也回基比亚自己的家里去了, 有一些勇士与他一起回去; 他们的心都被神感动.

10:27 However, some worthless men said, “How can this man deliver us?” So they despised him and brought no gift to him, but he kept silent.
但是有些流氓说: “这人怎能拯救我们呢? ”就藐视他, 也没有送他礼物. 扫罗却没有说什么.

I Samuel - Chapter 11

11:1 Now Nahash the Ammonite went up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a treaty with us and we will serve you.”
亚扪人拿辖上来, 安营攻击基列．雅比. 所有的雅比人都对拿辖说: “你与我们立约, 我们就服事你. ”

11:2 But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make a treaty with you, by gouging out the right eye of each of you, so that I can make it a disgrace for all Israel.”
亚扪人拿辖对他们说: “这是我与你们立约的条件: 我要剜出你们各人的右眼, 用来羞辱以色列众人. ”

11:3 So the elders of Jabesh said to him, “Leave us alone for seven days so that we may send messengers in all the territory of Israel, and if there is no deliverer for us, then we will come out to you.”
雅比的长老对他说: “请你宽限我们七天, 好让我们派遣使者到以色列的全境去; 如果没有人拯救我们, 我们就出来向你投降. ”

11:4 When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, they reported these things to the people. Then all the people lifted up their voices and wept.
使者到了扫罗住的基比亚, 把这些话说给众民听, 众民就都放声大哭.

11:5 Just then, Saul was coming from the field behind the cattle. Saul said, “What is the matter with the people, that they are weeping?” So they recounted to him the words of the men of Jabesh.
那时, 扫罗正从田里赶牛回来, 问说: “什么事啊? 为什么人都在哭呢? ”于是有人把雅比人的话告诉他.

11:6 Then the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and he became very angry.
扫罗听了这些话, 神的灵大大感动他, 他就非常忿怒.

11:7 So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them into pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, “Whoever is not going out after Saul and after Samuel, so will it be done to his oxen.” Then the fear of Yahweh fell on the people and they went out as one man.
他牵来一对牛, 把它们切成碎块, 交给使者, 送到以色列的全境去, 说: “不出来跟从扫罗和撒母耳的, 他的牛也必受到这样的对待. ”因众民惧怕耶和华, 他们就都出来, 如同一人.

11:8 He mustered them at Bezek; the Israelites were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah were thirty thousand.
扫罗在比色数点他们. 以色列人共有三十万, 犹大人有三万.

11:9 They said to the messengers who had come, “Thus you will say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow deliverance for you will come when the sun is hot.’ ” When the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh, they rejoiced.
扫罗对前来的使者说: “你们要这样对基列．雅比人说: ‘明天中午, 你们必得拯救. ’”使者回去告诉基列．雅比人, 他们就欢喜了.

11:10 The men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.”
雅比人对亚扪人说: “明天我们出来向你们投降, 你们看怎么好, 就怎么待我们吧. ”

11:11 And the next day Saul placed the people in three divisions. Then they came into the middle of the camp at the early morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. It happened that the remainder were scattered so that no two among them remained together.
第二天, 扫罗把众人分成三队. 在晨更的时候, 他们进了亚扪人的营中, 击杀他们, 直到中午; 残余的人都星散了, 他们中间没有两个人留在一起的.

11:12 Then the people said to Samuel, “Who is the one who asked, ‘Will Saul reign over us?’ Give the men to us that we may kill them.”
众民对撒母耳说: “那说‘扫罗怎能作我们的王’的是谁呢? 把那些人交出来, 我们好杀死他们. ”

11:13 But Saul said, “No one will be put to death on this day, because today Yahweh has provided deliverance in Israel.”
扫罗说: “今天不可以杀人, 因为今天是耶和华在以色列中施行拯救的日子. ”

11:14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal, and let us renew the kingship there.”
撒母耳对众民说: “来吧, 我们往吉甲去, 好在那里重新建立王国. ”

11:15 So all the people went to Gilgal and they made Saul king there before Yahweh in Gilgal. They sacrificed fellowship offerings there before Yahweh. Then Saul rejoiced there greatly along with all the men of Israel.
众民就都到吉甲去, 在那里在耶和华面前立扫罗为王, 又在那里在耶和华面前献平安祭. 扫罗和以色列众民都在那里, 非常欢喜.

I Samuel - Chapter 12

12:1 Then Samuel said to all Israel, “Look, I have listened to your voice regarding all that you have said to me, so I have set a king over you.
撒母耳对以色列人说: “看哪! 我已经听从了你们向我所说的一切话, 为你们立了一个王.

12:2 And so then here is the king walking about before you. Now I am old and gray, but my sons (look at them!) are with you; and I have walked about before you from my youth until this day.
现在, 有这王领导你们. 至于我, 我已经年老发白, 我的儿子也都在你们那里; 我自幼年直到今日都领导你们.

12:3 Here I am! Testify against me before Yahweh and before his anointed one! Whose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I exploited? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, that I may shut my eyes regarding him?–then I will restore it to you.”
看哪, 我在这里! 你们只管在耶和华面前, 以及在他的受膏者面前, 作证指控我: 我夺过谁的牛? 抢过谁的驴? 欺负过谁? 虐待过谁? 从谁手里受过贿赂, 以致我的眼睛因此被蒙住呢? 如果有, 我必偿还给你们. ”

12:4 Then they said, “You have not exploited us or oppressed us, and you have not taken anything from the hand of anyone.”
他们回答: “你没有欺负过我们, 没有虐待过我们, 也没有从谁手里取过什么东西. ”

12:5 So he said to them, “Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed one is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” Then they said, “He is witness.”
撒母耳对他们说: “今天耶和华在你们中间作见证, 他的膏立者也作见证; 你们在我手里没有找到什么. ”他们说: “愿他作证. ”

12:6 Then Samuel said to the people, “Yahweh is witness, who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your ancestors up from the land of Egypt.
撒母耳对人民说: “从前选立摩西和亚伦, 又把你们的列祖从埃及地领上来的, 是耶和华.

12:7 So then take your stand, so that I may judge you before Yahweh with regard to all the deeds of justice of Yahweh that he performed with both you and your ancestors.
现在你们要站住, 我要在耶和华面前与你们讲论耶和华向你们的列祖所行一切公义的事.

12:8 “When Jacob came to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to Yahweh, so he sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your ancestors out from Egypt and settled them in this place.
从前雅各到了埃及, 后来你们的列祖哀求耶和华, 耶和华就差遣摩西和亚伦去把你们的列祖从埃及领出来, 又使他们在这地方居住.

12:9 But they forgot Yahweh their God, so he sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the hosts of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
他们却忘记了耶和华他们的神, 神就把他们交在夏琐的将军西西拉的手中, 以及非利士人和摩押王的手中, 于是这些人常常攻打他们.

12:10 So they cried out to Yahweh and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yahweh and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths. But now deliver us from the hand of our enemies and we will serve you!’
他们就哀求耶和华, 说: ‘我们犯了罪, 因为我们背弃了耶和华, 又去服事巴力和亚斯他录. 现在求你救我们脱离仇敌的手, 我们就必事奉你. ’

12:11 So Yahweh sent Jerub-Baal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel. Then he delivered you from the hand of your enemies all around, and you lived in security.
于是耶和华差遣耶路．巴力,比但,耶弗他,撒母耳, 救你们脱离四围仇敌的手, 你们才可以安然居住.

12:12 “And when you saw that Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, was coming against you, you said to me, ‘No! A king shall reign over us,’ although Yahweh your God is your king.
可是, 你们看到亚扪王拿辖来攻击你们, 就对我说: ‘不行, 我们要有一个王来统治我们. ’其实, 耶和华你们的神是你们的王.

12:13 So then look! Here is the king you have chosen, for whom you have asked! Look, Yahweh has placed a king over you!
现在, 你们所拣选,所要求的王在这里. 看哪! 耶和华已经立了一个王统治你们.

12:14 If you will fear Yahweh, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not be rebellious against what Yahweh says, and both you and the king who rules over you will follow after Yahweh your God, all will be well.
如果你们敬畏耶和华, 事奉他, 听从他的话, 不违背他的命令, 你们和统治你们的王就必跟从耶和华你们的神.

12:15 But, if you do not listen to the voice of Yahweh, and you rebel against what Yahweh says, then the hand of Yahweh will be against you as it was against your ancestors.
但是, 如果你们不听从耶和华的话, 违背他的命令, 耶和华的手就必攻击你们, 好像攻击你们的列祖一样.

12:16 So then take your stand again and see this great thing that Yahweh is going to do before your eyes.
现在你们要站着, 看耶和华在你们眼前将要施行的这件大事.

12:17 Is the wheat harvest not today? I will call out to Yahweh so that he still sends thunder and rain, so that you will know and will see that your wickedness is great that you have done in the eyes of Yahweh by asking for a king for yourselves.”
现今不是收割麦子的时候吗? 我要向耶和华呼求, 他就会打雷降雨, 你们就可以知道, 又可以看见, 你们为自己要求立王的事, 在耶和华看来, 是行了极大的恶事. ”

12:18 So Samuel called out to Yahweh, and Yahweh brought thunder and rain that same day, so all the people feared Yahweh and Samuel greatly.
于是撒母耳向耶和华呼求, 耶和华就在那天打雷降雨, 众民就非常惧怕耶和华和撒母耳.

12:19 Then all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God so that we will not die, because we have added to all our sins by requesting a king for ourselves.”
众民对撒母耳说: “求你为仆人向耶和华你的神祷告, 免得我们死亡, 因为我们为自己要求立王的事, 是在我们的一切罪上又增加了这一件恶事. ”

12:20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear! You have done all this evil; only do not turn aside from following Yahweh. But you must serve Yahweh with all your heart.
撒母耳对人民说: “不要惧怕! 虽然你们行了这一切恶事, 只是不可偏离不跟随耶和华, 总要一心事奉他.

12:21 And do not turn aside after the triviality, which have no value and cannot deliver, for they are triviality.
不可偏离耶和华, 去追随那些空虚的偶像, 因为它们本是空虚的, 对人没有什么益处, 也不能救人.

12:22 For Yahweh will not forsake his people for the sake of his great name, because Yahweh has decided to make you his own people.
耶和华为了自己的大名的缘故, 必不丢弃他的子民, 因为他喜欢使你们作他的子民.

12:23 Also, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh by ceasing to pray for you! I will instruct you in the good and righteous way.
至于我, 我决不停止为你们祷告, 以致得罪耶和华; 我要把善道正路教导你们.

12:24 Only fear Yahweh and serve him faithfully with all of your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.
你们只要敬畏耶和华, 诚实全心事奉他, 因为你们已经看过他为你们所作的是何等大的事.

12:25 But if you continue to do wickedness, both you and your king will be swept away.”
如果你们继续行恶, 你们和你们的王就必一同灭亡. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 13

13:1 Saul was thirty years old at the beginning of his reign, and he reigned forty-two years over Israel.
扫罗登基的时候年三十岁, 作了以色列王四十二年(原文缺完整的年数, 这里是按《七十士译本》加上的).

13:2 He chose for himself three thousand from Israel. Two thousand of these were with Saul at Micmash in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah in Benjamin. He sent away the rest of the people, each to his tent.
他从以色列人中为自己拣选了三千人; 两千人和扫罗一同驻在密抹和伯特利山, 一千人与约拿单一同驻在便雅悯的基比亚. 其余的人, 扫罗都遣散他们各回自己的家去了.

13:3 Jonathan defeated the garrison of the Philistines that was at Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
约拿单攻打非利士人在迦巴的驻军, 非利士人听见了; 扫罗就在全地吹角, 说: “让希伯来人都听见. ”

13:4 And all Israel did hear, saying, “Saul has defeated the garrison of the Philistines; and also, Israel has become a stench among the Philistines!” So the people were called out after Saul at Gilgal.
以色列众人听说扫罗攻打了非利士人的驻军, 又听说非利士人憎恨以色列人, 就应召在吉甲跟随扫罗.

13:5 And the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen and an army as numerous as sand which is on the seashore. And they came up and encamped at Micmash, east of Beth Aven.
非利士人聚集起来, 要与以色列人交战, 他们有战车三千(“三千”原文作“三万”, 这里参考一些《七十士译本》的抄本及叙利亚译本翻译)辆,骑兵六千人,步兵像海边的沙那么多. 他们上来, 在伯．亚文东边的密抹安营.

13:6 When the men of Israel saw that it was too difficult for them, because the army was hard pressed, the people hid themselves in the caves, in the thorn bushes, in the cliffs, in the vaults and in the wells.
以色列人看见自己情况危急, 处境窘迫, 众人就藏在山洞,岩穴,地洞里和地坑之中.

13:7 Some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. But Saul was still at Gilgal, and all the army followed him trembling.
有些希伯来人渡过了约旦河, 逃到迦得和基列地. 但是扫罗仍然留在吉甲, 跟随他的众人都恐惧战兢.

13:8 He waited seven days according to the appointed time Samuel determined, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the army started to slip away from him.
扫罗照着撒母耳所定的日期等了七天, 但撒母耳还没有来到吉甲, 众人就离开扫罗散去了.

13:9 So Saul said, “Bring here to me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.” Then he offered up the burnt offering.
扫罗说: “你们把燔祭和平安祭带到我这里来. ”他就献上燔祭.

13:10 Just as he finished offering the burnt sacrifice, Samuel was coming. So Saul went out to meet him and to bless him.
他刚刚献完了燔祭, 撒母耳就来到了; 扫罗出去迎接他, 向他问安.

13:11 But Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the army was scattering from me and you did not come at the appointed time and that the Philistines had gathered at Micmash,
撒母耳说: “你作了什么事? ”扫罗回答: “因为我看见众民都离开我散去了, 你又没有照所定的日子来到, 而非利士人正在密抹聚集起来.

13:12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not yet implored the face of Yahweh.’ So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering.”
我心里想: ‘非利士人现在就要下到吉甲来攻打我, 我却还没有向耶和华求恩. ’所以我就勉强自己把燔祭献上了. ”

13:13 Then Samuel said to Saul, “You have behaved foolishly! You have not kept the command of Yahweh your God which he commanded you. For then, Yahweh would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.
撒母耳对扫罗说: “你作了糊涂事了! 你没有谨守耶和华你的神吩咐你的命令. 如果你谨守, 耶和华就必在以色列中坚立你的王位, 直到永远.

13:14 But now, your kingdom will not endure. Yahweh has sought for himself a man according to his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him as leader over his people, because you have not kept what Yahweh commanded you.”
但现在你的王位必不长久, 耶和华已经为自己找到一个合他心意的人, 立他作自己子民的领袖, 因为你没有谨守耶和华所吩咐你的. ”

13:15 Then Samuel got up and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul mustered the people who were found with him, about six hundred men.
于是撒母耳动身, 从吉甲上便雅悯的基比亚去; 扫罗数点跟随他的人, 约有六百人.

13:16 Saul and Jonathan his son and the army that remained with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, and the Philistines encamped at Micmash.
扫罗和他的儿子约拿单, 以及跟随他们的人都停留在便雅悯的迦巴, 非利士人却在密抹安营.

13:17 The raiders went out from the camp of the Philistines in three divisions. One division turned on the road to Ophrah toward the land of Shual.
有突击队从非利士人的营里出来, 分成三队, 一队往俄弗拉向书亚地去,

13:18 One division turned on the road to Beth Horon, and one turned on the road toward the border overlooking the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
一队往伯．和仑去, 一队往洗波音谷对面的境界向旷野去.

13:19 Now no skilled craftsman could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had said, “So that the Hebrews cannot make swords or spears for themselves.”
那时, 以色列全地找不到一个铁匠, 因为非利士人说: “恐怕希伯来人制造刀剑或枪矛. ”

13:20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to have his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his iron plowshare sharpened.
以色列众人要磨锄头,犁头,斧头和铲子, 就各自下到非利士人那里去磨.

13:21 The charge was two-thirds of a shekel for the plowshare and for the mattock, and a third of a shekel for the pick and for the axe, and to set the goading sticks.
磨锄头或犁头的价钱是七克银子, 磨三齿叉,斧头或刺棒的价钱是四克银子.

13:22 So on the day of battle, there was not a sword or a spear found in the hands of all the army that was with Saul and Jonathan, but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
所以, 到了争战的时候, 跟随扫罗和约拿单的众民, 没有一个手里有刀或枪的, 只有扫罗和他的儿子约拿单有刀枪.

13:23 Now the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Micmash.
有一队非利士人的驻军出到密抹的隘口去.

I Samuel - Chapter 14

14:1 One day Jonathan the son of Saul said to his armor bearer, “Come and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines which is over there.” But he did not tell his father.
有一天, 扫罗的儿子约拿单对替他拿武器的仆人说: “来! 我们过到非利士人的驻军那边去吧. ”但他没有告诉父亲.

14:2 Now Saul was staying at the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree that was in Migron, and the troops that were with him were about six hundred men.
那时扫罗在基比亚的边界, 坐在米矶仑的石榴树下, 跟随他的约有六百人.

14:3 Now Ahijah, the son of Ahitub (the brother of Ichabod), the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh at Shiloh, was carrying an ephod. The troops did not know that Jonathan had gone.
其中有亚希突的儿子亚希亚带着以弗得; 亚希突是以迦博的哥哥, 非尼哈的儿子, 以利的孙子. 以利从前在示罗作耶和华的祭司. 约拿单去了, 众人都不知道.

14:4 Now between the passes where Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines there was a crag of rock on one side and a crag of rock on the other. The name of the one was Bozez and the name of the other was Seneh.
约拿单设法要经过那个隘口到非利士人的驻军那里去, 隘口的两边各有一个山峰, 一个名叫播薛, 另一个名叫西尼.

14:5 The one crag on the north was opposite Micmash and the other on the south was opposite Geba.
一个高峰向北, 与密抹相对, 另一个向南, 与迦巴相对.

14:6 So Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come, let us go over to the garrisons of these uncircumcised; perhaps Yahweh will act for us, for there is no hindrance for Yahweh to save by many or by few.”
约拿单对替他拿武器的仆人说: “来! 我们过到这些未受割礼的人的驻军那里去, 也许耶和华会为我们动工, 因为不论人多或人少, 都不能妨碍耶和华施行拯救. ”

14:7 And his armor bearer said, “Do all that is in your heart that you are inclined to do. I am with you all of the way!
替他拿武器的仆人对他说: “照你的心意作吧! 去吧, 我必与你同心. ”

14:8 Then Jonathan said, “Look, we are about to go over to the men; and we will show ourselves to them.
约拿单说: “我们要过到那些人那里去, 让他们看见我们.

14:9 If they say to us: ‘Wait until we reach you,’ then we will stand as we are and not go up to them.
如果他们对我们这样说: ‘你们站住! 等我们到你们那里去. ’我们就站在原地, 不上他们那里去.

14:10 But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has given them into our hand, and this will be the sign for us.”
如果他们对我们这样说: ‘你们上到我们这里来吧! ’我们就上去, 这就是我们的凭据, 因为耶和华已经把他们交在我们的手里了. ”

14:11 So the two of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, and the Philistines said, “The Hebrews are coming out from the holes in which they have hidden themselves.”
他们二人就让非利士人的驻军看见. 非利士人说: “看哪! 有希伯来人从他们躲藏的洞里出来了. ”

14:12 Then the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, “Come up to us and we will show you something!” Then Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh has given them into the hand of Israel!”
驻军中有人应声对约拿单和替他拿武器的人说: “你们上我们这里来吧! 我们有一件事要告诉你们. ”约拿单对替他拿武器的人说: “你跟我上去, 因为耶和华已经把他们交在以色列人的手里了. ”

14:13 So Jonathan went up on his hands and his feet, with his armor bearer after him. They fell before Jonathan and then his armor bearer would kill them after him.
约拿单手脚并用地爬了上去, 替他拿武器的人跟着他. 非利士人在约拿单面前倒下, 替他拿武器的也跟在后面把他们杀死.

14:14 So was the first attack in which Jonathan and his armor bearer killed about twenty men within about half of a furrow in an acre of an open field.
约拿单和替他拿武器的第一次杀敌, 约杀死了二十人, 都是在四分之一公顷的范围内杀的.

14:15 Then there was terror in the camp, in the open field, and among all the army of the garrison. Even the raiders trembled. The earth shook, and it became a very great panic.
于是在营房里, 在田野中和在众人中间, 都有恐慌, 驻军和突击队也都恐惧, 地也震动, 这是从神而来的恐惧.

14:16 And the lookouts of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw that the multitude surged back and forth.
在便雅悯的基比亚, 扫罗的瞭望兵看见非利士人的大军溃败, 四处逃窜.

14:17 Saul said to the troops that were with him, “Please call the roll and see who has gone from us.” So they called the roll and found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.
于是扫罗对跟随他的众民说: “你们数点一下, 看看谁从我们这里出去了. ”他们一数点, 就发现约拿单和替他拿武器的不在那里.

14:18 Then Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring near the ark of God” (for the ark of God was at that time with the Israelites).
扫罗对亚希亚说: “把神的约柜运来! ”因为那时神的约柜在以色列人那里.

14:19 While Saul was still speaking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more, so Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
扫罗正对祭司说话的时候, 非利士营中的骚乱越来越大, 扫罗就对祭司说: “住手吧! ”

14:20 Then Saul and all the troops who were with him were assembled on command and came up to the battle, and look! Each Philistine’s sword was against his friend; and there was a very great confusion.
扫罗和所有跟随他的人就聚集起来, 到了战场, 就看见非利士人用刀互相击杀, 十分混乱.

14:21 The Hebrews who had been for the Philistines previously, who had gone up with them into the camp all around, even they joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
那些从前归顺非利士人的希伯来人, 就是混杂在营里与非利士人一起上来的, 现在也转过来, 与那些跟从扫罗和约拿单的以色列人在一起.

14:22 All the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, so even they pursued them closely in the battle.
那些躲藏在以法莲山地的以色列众人一听见非利士人逃跑, 也就在战场上紧紧追赶他们.

14:23 So on that day Yahweh delivered Israel, and the battle shifted to Beth Aven.
那一天, 耶和华拯救了以色列人. 战争伸展到伯．亚文.

14:24 Now the men of Israel were hard pressed on that day, because Saul had made the army take an oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats any food until evening, when I will have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the army tasted any food.
那一天, 以色列人处境很窘迫, 因为扫罗叫众人起誓说: “不等到晚上, 不等到我向敌人报了仇, 就吃食物的, 那人必受咒诅. ”所以众民都没有尝过食物.

14:25 (Now all the people of the land used to go into the forest, for there was honey on the surface of the ground.)
众人进了树林, 林中地上有蜂蜜.

14:26 When the army came to the forest, look! There was honey flowing, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the army was afraid of the solemn oath.
他们进了树林, 看见有蜂蜜流出来, 却没有人敢伸手取蜜入口, 因为众人都害怕所起的誓.

14:27 However, Jonathan had not heard about the oath of his father with the army, so he extended the end of the staff which was in his hand, and he dipped it into the honeycomb. Then he put his hand to his mouth and his eyes gleamed.
约拿单没有听见他父亲叫众民所起的誓, 所以伸出手中的杖, 用杖头蘸在蜂房里, 转手送进口里, 他的眼睛就明亮了.

14:28 Then a man from the army informed him and said, “Your father made the army swear a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today,’ ” so the army is exhausted.
众民中有一个人说: “你父亲曾经叫众人严严地起誓说: ‘今天吃食物的, 那人必受咒诅. ’所以众人都疲乏了. ”

14:29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has brought trouble on the land! See now that my eyes have brightened because I have tasted a little of this honey.
约拿单说: “我父亲连累了这地的人. 你们看! 我尝了这一点蜂蜜以后, 我的眼睛就明亮了.

14:30 How much more could have been done if the troops had eaten freely today from the plunder of their enemies that they had found! For now the loss among the Philistines is not great.”
今天众民若是随意吃了从他们的仇敌夺得的东西, 不是更好吗? 如今被击杀的非利士人, 不是更多吗? ”

14:31 They defeated the Philistines that day from Micmash to Aijalon, and the troops were very weary.
那一天, 他们击杀非利士人, 从密抹直到亚雅仑; 众人都非常疲乏了,

14:32 Then the troops took the plunder: they took sheep and cattle and calves and slaughtered them on the ground and the troops ate them all with the blood.
就急忙抢夺战利品; 他们捉住了羊,牛或牛犊, 就地宰杀, 带着血一起吃了.

14:33 So they reported it to Saul, saying, “Look! The troops are sinning against Yahweh by eating the animals with the blood!” And he said, “You have dealt treacherously! Roll to me a large stone today!”
有人告诉扫罗说: “众民吃了带着血的肉, 得罪耶和华了. ”他说: “你们作了不忠的事了, 立刻把一块大石头滚到我这里来. ”

14:34 Then Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the troops and say to them, ‘Bring to me each one his ox and each his sheep and slaughter them in this place and eat, but do not sin against Yahweh by eating the animals with the blood.’ ” So all the troops brought them, each leading his ox in his hand that night, and slaughtered it there.
扫罗又说: “你们分散到众人中去, 对他们说: ‘你们各人要把自己的牛羊带到我面前来, 在这里宰了吃; 不可吃带着血的肉, 得罪耶和华. ’”于是当天晚上, 众人都各把自己的牛羊带到那里宰了.

14:35 Then Saul built an altar to Yahweh; it was the first altar he built to Yahweh.
扫罗为耶和华筑了一座祭坛, 这是他初次为耶和华筑的祭坛.

14:36 Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and let us plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave alive a man among them.” So they said, “Do all that is good in your eyes.” But the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.”
扫罗说: “我们趁着晚上下去追赶非利士人, 抢掠他们, 直到天亮, 不让他们留下一人. ”他们说: “你看怎么好, 就怎么行吧! ”但祭司说: “我们先在这里亲近神! ”

14:37 So Saul inquired of God, “Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” But he did not answer him on that day.
扫罗求问神: “我可以下去追赶非利士人吗? 你把他们交在以色列人的手里吗? ”那天神没有回答他.

14:38 Then Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people, so that we find out what the sin was this day.
扫罗说: “民间的众领袖啊, 你们都要走近这里来; 你们要查看今天我们犯了什么罪.

14:39 For as Yahweh lives, who delivers Israel, I swear that even if it is in Jonathan my son, he will certainly die!” But nobody from all the army answered him.
我指着拯救以色列,永活的耶和华起誓, 即使是我的儿子约拿单犯了罪, 他也一定要死. ”众人中没有一人回答他.

14:40 Then he said to all Israel, “You will be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other.” And the army said to Saul, “Do what is good in your eyes.”
于是扫罗对以色列众人说: “你们站在这里, 我和我的儿子约拿单站在那边. ”众民回答扫罗: “你看怎么好, 就怎么行吧! ”

14:41 Then Saul said to Yahweh the God of Israel, “Render a decision perfectly.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen by lot and the people went out.
扫罗祷告耶和华以色列的神说: “求你指示实情! ”于是抽签, 抽中了约拿单和扫罗; 众民都没事.

14:42 Then Saul said, “Let them cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan,” and Jonathan was chosen.
扫罗说: “你们再抽签, 看是我, 或是我的儿子约拿单. ”结果抽中约拿单.

14:43 So Saul said, “Tell me what you have done.” So Jonathan told him and said, “I merely tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die.”
扫罗对约拿单说: “告诉我, 你作了什么事? ”约拿单告诉他: “我用我手中的杖头尝了一点蜂蜜. 我在这里, 我愿意死! ”

14:44 Then Saul said, “So may God do to me and more, you will certainly die today, Jonathan!”
扫罗说: “约拿单啊! 你必定要死, 否则, 愿神加倍惩罚我. ”

14:45 But the army said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die, who accomplished this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, not a hair from his head will fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the army ransomed Jonathan and he did not die.
众民对扫罗说: “约拿单在以色列人中行了这样大的拯救, 难道一定要他死吗? 绝对不可以! 我们指着永活的耶和华起誓, 连他一根头发也不可落在地上, 因为他今天是与神一同作工. ”这样, 众民救了约拿单, 使他免了一死.

14:46 Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their place.
扫罗上去, 不再追赶非利士人; 非利士人也回到自己的地方去了.

14:47 So Saul took the kingship over Israel, and he fought all around against his enemies, against Moab, against the Ammonites, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. He inflicted punishment against all who rebelled.
扫罗取得了以色列的王国以后, 常常攻打四围的一切仇敌, 就是摩押人,亚扪人,以东人,琐巴众王和非利士人, 他无论往哪里去, 都得到胜利.

14:48 He acted bravely and defeated the Amalekites and rescued Israel from the hand of those who plundered it.
扫罗行事勇敢, 击败了亚玛力人, 把以色列人从抢掠他们的人手中救了出来.

14:49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki-Shua; the names of his two daughters were as follows: the name of the firstborn was Merab and the younger was Michal.
扫罗的儿子是约拿单,亦施韦和麦基舒亚. 他的两个女儿, 长女名叫米拉, 次女名叫米甲.

14:50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz, and the name of the commander of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
扫罗的妻子名叫亚希暖, 是亚希玛斯的女儿. 扫罗军队的元帅名叫押尼珥, 是尼珥的儿子, 尼珥是扫罗的叔叔.

14:51 Now Kish was the father of Saul, but Ner, the father of Abner, was the son of Abiel.
扫罗的父亲基士和押尼珥的父亲尼珥都是亚别的儿子.

14:52 Warfare was severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul. Whenever Saul saw anyone who was a mighty warrior or any brave man, he conscripted him into his service.
扫罗的一生常常与非利士人有猛烈的争战. 每逢扫罗看见任何勇士或有能力的人, 就都招募归他.

I Samuel - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you as king over his people Israel. So then, listen to the words of Yahweh!
撒母耳对扫罗说: “耶和华差遣我膏立你作他子民以色列的王, 所以现在你要听耶和华的话.

15:2 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘I have observed what Amalek did to Israel, how he opposed him when he went up from Egypt.
万军之耶和华这样说: ‘以色列人从埃及上来的时候, 亚玛力人对他们所行的, 在路上攻击他们的事, 我必要惩罚.

15:3 So then, go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that is his! You must not spare him, but kill both man and woman, both child and nursing infant, both ox and sheep, both camel and donkey.’ ”
现在你要去攻打亚玛力人, 彻底毁灭他们所有的一切, 不可怜惜他们. 无论男女,孩童, 或吃奶的婴儿, 牛羊,骆驼,驴子, 都要杀死. ’”

15:4 Saul summoned the army and mustered them at Telaim; two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.
于是扫罗招聚众人, 在提拉因数点他们, 共有步兵二十万, 另有犹大人一万.

15:5 Then Saul came up to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the wadi.
扫罗到了亚玛力人的城市, 就在山谷中设下伏兵.

15:6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, leave! Withdraw from among the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you with them. You have shown loyal love to all the Israelites when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites left from among the Amalekites.
扫罗又对基尼人说: “你们走吧! 离开亚玛力人下去吧! 免得我把你们与他们一同消灭. 因为以色列众人从埃及上来的时候, 你们曾经以慈爱待他们. ”于是基尼人离开亚玛力人去了.

15:7 Then Saul defeated the Amalekites from Havilah as one goes to Shur which is east of Egypt.
扫罗击杀亚玛力人, 从哈腓拉直到埃及东的书珥,

15:8 He captured Agag the king of Amalek alive, but all the people he utterly destroyed with the edge of the sword.
生擒了亚玛力人的王亚甲, 用刀杀灭了所有人民.

15:9 However, Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and the cattle and the second best of the young fatlings and all that was valuable; they were not willing to utterly destroy them. But all the possessions that were despised or worthless, they utterly destroyed.
但扫罗和众人怜惜亚甲, 也爱惜上好的牛羊,肥牛犊,羊羔和一切美好的东西. 他们不愿彻底毁灭这些; 凡是卑贱的,没有价值的, 他们就彻底毁灭.

15:10 Then the word of Yahweh came to Samuel, saying,
耶和华的话临到撒母耳说:

15:11 “I regret that I made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me and has not kept my word.” Samuel became angry, and he cried out to Yahweh all night.
“我后悔立了扫罗为王, 因为他已经离去不跟随我, 也不执行我的命令了. ”撒母耳非常忿怒, 整夜哀求耶和华.

15:12 Then Samuel got up early in the morning to meet Saul. Samuel was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel, and look, he is setting up a monument for himself.” Then he turned around and crossed over and went down to Gilgal.
撒母耳清早起来, 要在早晨去见扫罗; 有人告诉撒母耳: “扫罗到了迦密, 在那里为自己立了一座纪念碑, 然后转身下到吉甲去了. ”

15:13 When Samuel came to Saul, Saul said to him, “May you be blessed by Yahweh! I have kept the word of Yahweh.”
撒母耳到了扫罗那里, 扫罗对他说: “愿耶和华赐福给你! 我已经执行了耶和华的命令. ”

15:14 But Samuel said, “Then what is this bleating of the sheep that I hear in my ears and the lowing of the cattle that I am hearing?”
撒母耳说: “我耳中听见有羊叫牛鸣的声音, 到底是什么呢? ”

15:15 Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; the troops spared the best of the sheep and the cattle in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God. But the rest we have utterly destroyed.”
扫罗回答: “这是众民从亚玛力人那里带来的, 因为他们爱惜这些上好的牛羊, 要献给耶和华你的神为祭; 其余的, 我们都已经彻底毁灭了. ”

15:16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stop and let me tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” So he said to him, “Speak.”
撒母耳对扫罗说: “住口吧! 让我把耶和华昨天晚上对我所说的话告诉你. ”扫罗对他说: “请说. ”

15:17 Samuel said, “Even though you are small in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh has anointed you as king over Israel.
撒母耳说: “从前你虽然自以为微小, 不是作了以色列众支派的首领吗? 耶和华膏立了你作以色列的王,

15:18 When Yahweh sent you on your way, he said to you: ‘Go! You must utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and you must fight against them until you have destroyed them.’
差遣你去, 说: ‘你去彻底毁灭那些犯罪的亚玛力人, 攻打他们, 直到把他们全部毁灭. ’

15:19 Why did you not listen to the voice of Yahweh and fall with shouting on the plunder? You have done evil in the sight of Yahweh!”
你为什么没有听从耶和华的话, 急于夺取战利品, 作了耶和华看为恶的事呢? ”

15:20 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have listened to the voice of Yahweh, and I have gone on the way that Yahweh sent me! I brought Agag the king of Amalek, and the Amalekites I have utterly destroyed.
扫罗回答撒母耳: “我实在听从了耶和华的话, 行了耶和华差遣我行的路; 我把亚玛力人的王亚甲带了回来, 又把亚玛力人都彻底毁灭了.

15:21 The troops took from the plunder, sheep and cattle, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God at Gilgal.”
可是众民却从那些战利品中, 取了应当毁灭之物中上好的牛羊, 要在吉甲献给耶和华你的神为祭. ”

15:22 Then Samuel said, “Is there as much delight for Yahweh in burnt offerings and sacrifices as there is in obeying Yahweh? Look! To obey is better than sacrifice; to give heed than the fat of rams.
撒母耳说: “耶和华喜悦燔祭和平安祭, 岂像喜悦人听从耶和华的话呢? 听从胜过献祭, 听命胜过公羊的脂油.

15:23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination; arrogance is like iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh, he has rejected you from being king!”
因为悖逆与行邪术的罪相同, 顽梗与拜虚无偶像一样, 因为你弃绝了耶和华的话, 耶和华也弃绝了你作王. ”

15:24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and your words, for I feared the troops and I listened to their voice.
于是扫罗对撒母耳说: “我犯了罪了, 我违背了耶和华的命令和你的话, 因为我害怕众人, 听从了他们的话.

15:25 So then, please pardon my sin and return with me so that I can worship Yahweh.”
现在求你赦免我的罪, 与我一同回去, 我好敬拜耶和华. ”

15:26 But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of Yahweh, and he has rejected you from being king over Israel!”
撒母耳回答扫罗: “我不与你一同回去, 因为你弃绝了耶和华的话, 耶和华也弃绝你作以色列的王. ”

15:27 As Samuel turned around to go, he caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore.
撒母耳转身要走, 扫罗拉着他外袍的衣边, 衣边就撕裂了.

15:28 Then Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.
撒母耳就对他说: “今天耶和华把以色列国从你身上撕裂, 赐给比你更好的人.

15:29 Moreover, the Glory of Israel will not break faith and will not regret, for he is not a human that he should regret.”
以色列的大能者必不说谎, 也不后悔. 因为他不是世人, 他决不后悔. ”

15:30 Then he said, “I have sinned! Now please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me so that I can worship Yahweh your God.”
扫罗说: “我犯了罪了, 但是求你在我人民的长老面前和以色列人面前给我面子, 与我一同回去, 我好敬拜耶和华你的神. ”

15:31 So Samuel returned after Saul, and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
于是撒母耳跟着扫罗回去, 扫罗就敬拜耶和华.

15:32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of Amalek out to me!” Agag came to him confidently, for Agag thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is over.”
随后撒母耳说: “把亚玛力人的王亚甲带到我这里来! ”亚甲欢欢喜喜走到他面前, 心里说: “死亡的痛苦必定过去了! ”

15:33 Samuel said, “Just as your sword bereaved women, so will your mother be bereaved among women!” Then Samuel hacked Agag to pieces in the presence of Yahweh at Gilgal.
撒母耳说: “你的刀怎样使妇人丧子, 你的母亲在妇人中也要怎样丧子. ”于是撒母耳在吉甲, 在耶和华面前把亚甲斩成碎块.

15:34 Then Samuel went to Ramah and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.
后来撒母耳回拉玛去, 扫罗也上他所住的基比亚自己的家去了.

15:35 Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel mourned over Saul, and Yahweh regretted that he made Saul king over Israel.
撒母耳直到死的日子, 再没有看见扫罗. 撒母耳为扫罗悲伤, 因为耶和华后悔立了扫罗作以色列的王.

I Samuel - Chapter 16

16:1 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn about Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel! Fill up your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have chosen a king for myself among his sons.”
耶和华对撒母耳说: “你为扫罗悲哀要到几时呢? 我已经弃绝他作以色列的王了. 你把膏油盛满了角, 然后去吧! 我要差派你到伯利恒人耶西那里去, 因为我在他的众子中, 已经预定了一个为我作王. ”

16:2 But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears, he will kill me.” Yahweh said, “You must take a heifer from the herd with you, and you must say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh.’
撒母耳说: “我怎能去呢? 扫罗听见了, 必定杀我. ”耶和华说: “你可以带一头母牛犊去, 就说: ‘我来是要向耶和华献祭. ’

16:3 You will invite Jesse to the sacrifice and I will make known to you what you must do. You will anoint for me the one whom I tell you.”
你要请耶西参加献祭的筵席, 我就会指示你当作的. 我指示你的那人, 你要为我膏立他. ”

16:4 So Samuel did what Yahweh said. He came to Bethlehem, and the elders of the city came trembling to meet him. They said, “Have you come in peace?”
于是撒母耳照着耶和华的话去行. 他到了伯利恒的时候, 城里的长老就都战战兢兢地出来迎接他, 说: “你是为平安来的吗? ”

16:5 He said, “I come in peace. I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” So he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
他回答: “是为平安来的. 我来是要向耶和华献祭. 你们要自洁, 与我一同参加献祭的筵席. ”撒母耳使耶西和他的儿子自洁, 邀请他们来参加献祭的筵席.

16:6 When they came, he saw Eliab and said, “Surely his anointed one is before Yahweh!”
他们来到的时候, 撒母耳看见以利押, 就心里想: “在耶和华面前的这位, 必是他所要膏立的. ”

16:7 But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For God does not see what man sees, for a man looks on the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks on the heart.”
但耶和华对撒母耳说: “不要看他的外貌和他高大的身材, 因为我不拣选他. 耶和华看人不像人看人, 人是看外表, 耶和华是看内心. ”

16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel, and he said, “This one also Yahweh has not chosen.”
耶西叫亚比拿达在撒母耳面前经过, 撒母耳说: “这也不是耶和华所拣选的. ”

16:9 So Jesse made Shammah pass before Samuel, but he said, “Yahweh also has not chosen this one.”
耶西又叫沙玛经过. 撒母耳说: “耶和华也不拣选这个. ”

16:10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to Jesse, “Yahweh has not chosen any of these.”
耶西叫他的七个儿子都在撒母耳面前经过. 但撒母耳对耶西说: “这些都不是耶和华所拣选的. ”

16:11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” And he said, “The youngest still remains, but look, he is shepherding the flock.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him, for we cannot sit down until he comes here.”
撒母耳问耶西: “孩子们全都在这里吗? ”耶西回答: “还有一个最小的, 正在牧羊. ”撒母耳对耶西说: “你派人去把他带回来, 因为他没有来到以前, 我们决不入席. ”

16:12 So he sent and brought him. Now he was ruddy with beautiful eyes and of handsome appearance. And Yahweh said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”
耶西就派人去把大卫带回来. 他面色红润, 眼目清秀, 外貌英俊. 耶和华说: “就是这一个, 你起来膏立他吧! ”

16:13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. Then the Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon David from that day on. Then Samuel got up and went to Ramah.
撒母耳就拿起盛油的角, 在他的兄长中膏立他. 从那天起, 耶和华的灵就大大感动大卫. 后来撒母耳动身往拉玛去了.

16:14 Now the Spirit of Yahweh departed from Saul and an evil spirit from Yahweh tormented him.
耶和华的灵离开了扫罗. 有恶鬼从耶和华那里来惊扰他.

16:15 So the servants of Saul said to him, “Look please, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.
扫罗的臣仆对他说: “看哪! 有恶鬼从神那里来惊扰你.

16:16 Please, let our lord command your servants who are before you! Let them seek a man skilled in playing on the lyre. When the evil spirit from God is upon you, he can play on it and you will feel better.”
愿我们的主吩咐你面前的臣仆, 去寻找一位善于弹琴的人; 从神那里来的灵临到你身上的时候, 他可以弹琴, 你就好了. ”

16:17 So Saul said to his servants, “Please select a man who plays a stringed instrument well and bring him to me.”
扫罗对他的臣仆说: “你们可以为我找一个善于弹琴的人, 带到我这里来. ”

16:18 One of the servants answered and said, “Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing a stringed instrument, a brave man, a warrior, prudent in speech, and handsome. And Yahweh is with him.”
有一个仆人回答: “我见过伯利恒人耶西的一个儿子, 他善于弹琴, 是个大能的勇士, 又是个战士, 谈吐合宜, 容貌俊美, 耶和华也与他同在. ”

16:19 So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me David your son who is with the sheep.”
于是扫罗派遣使者去见耶西, 说: “请你叫你放羊的儿子大卫到我这里来. ”

16:20 And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread and a skin of wine and one young goat and sent them to Saul by the hand of David his son.
耶西就牵来一头驴子, 驮上饼,一皮袋酒和一只山羊羔, 交给他的儿子大卫送给扫罗.

16:21 So David came to Saul and entered his service. He loved him greatly and he became Saul’s armor bearer.
大卫到了扫罗那里, 就侍立在他面前. 扫罗很爱他, 他就作了替扫罗拿武器的人.

16:22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, because he has found favor in my sight.”
扫罗再派人到耶西那里去, 说: “请你让大卫侍立在我面前吧, 因为我喜欢他. ”

16:23 So whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the stringed instrument and play it with his hand. Then it would bring relief for Saul; he would feel better and the evil spirit would depart from him.
每逢从神那里来的恶鬼临到扫罗身上的时候, 大卫就拿起琴来弹奏, 扫罗就舒服畅快, 恶鬼也离开了他.

I Samuel - Chapter 17

17:1 The Philistines gathered their camps for battle and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah. They camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes Dammim.
非利士人聚集他们的军队作战. 他们聚集在属犹大的梭哥, 在梭哥和亚西加之间的以弗．大悯安营.

17:2 Then Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and encamped in the valley of Elah, and they formed ranks for the battle to meet the Philistines.
扫罗和以色列人也聚集起来, 在以拉谷安营; 他们列出战阵, 要迎战非利士人.

17:3 The Philistines were standing on the hill on one side and the army of Israel was standing on the hill on the other side with the valley between them.
非利士人站在这边山上, 以色列人站在那边山上, 中间有山谷分隔.

17:4 Then a champion went out from the camps of the Philistines, whose name was Goliath from Gath. His height was six cubits and a span.
有一个挑战的人从非利士人的军营中出来, 名叫歌利亚, 是迦特人, 身高三公尺.

17:5 A bronze helmet was on his head, and he was clothed with scale body armor; the weight of the body armor was five thousand bronze shekels.
他头戴铜盔, 身穿铠甲, 铠甲的铜重五十七公斤.

17:6 Bronze greaves were on his legs, and a bronze javelin was slung between his shoulders.
他的腿上有铜护膝, 两肩之间背着一根铜枪.

17:7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam and the point of his spear weighed six hundred iron shekels. His shield bearer was walking in front of him.
另外, 他手上拿着矛, 矛杆有织布的机轴那么粗, 矛头的铁重七公斤. 还有一个拿大盾牌的人在他前面走.

17:8 He stood and called to the battle lines of Israel and said to them, “Why have you come out to form ranks for battle? Am I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Commission for yourselves a man and let him come down to me.
歌利亚站着, 向着以色列人的军队喊叫, 对他们说: “你们为什么出来这里摆列战阵呢? 我不是非利士人吗? 你们不是扫罗的仆人吗? 你们自己挑选一个人, 叫他下到我这里来吧.

17:9 If he is able to fight with me and he defeats me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail over him and defeat him, then you will be our servants and you will serve us.”
如果他能与我决斗, 击杀了我, 我们就作你们的奴仆; 但是, 如果我能胜过他, 击杀了他, 你们就作我们的奴仆, 服事我们. ”

17:10 Then the Philistine said, “I hereby defy the battle lines of Israel today! Give me a man so that we may fight each other!”
那非利士人又说: “今天我向以色列人的军队骂阵. 你们派一个人出来, 我们可以决斗! ”

17:11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and very afraid.
扫罗和以色列众人听见了那非利士人所说的这些话, 就都惊惶, 非常害怕.

17:12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite. This man was from Bethlehem of Judah, and his name was Jesse. He had eight sons; in the days of Saul this man was old, yet he still walked among the men.
大卫是犹大伯利恒的以法他人耶西的儿子; 耶西有八个儿子. 在扫罗的日子, 耶西已经年纪老迈了.

17:13 The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, his second oldest was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
耶西的三个大儿子跟随了扫罗去作战. 去了作战的这三个儿子的名字是: 长子以利押,次子亚比拿达,三子沙玛.

17:14 Now David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul,
大卫是最小的, 那三个年长的都跟随扫罗去了.

17:15 but David went back and forth from Saul to feed the sheep of his father in Bethlehem.
大卫有时离开扫罗, 回到伯利恒牧放他父亲的羊群.

17:16 Now the Philistine came forward early and late, and he took his stand for forty days.
那非利士人每天早晚都近前来, 站着骂阵, 一连有四十天之久.

17:17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Please take for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread, and bring them quickly to the camp for your brothers.
有一天, 耶西对他的儿子大卫说: “你拿这十公斤烘了的谷子和这十个饼去给你的哥哥们; 你要跑到营里去给你的哥哥们,

17:18 And these ten portions of cheese you will bring to the commander of the thousand; find out how your brothers are doing, and take their pledge.”
又拿这十块乳酪去给他们的千夫长, 看看你的哥哥们平安不平安, 把他们的家书带回来. ”

17:19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah fighting the Philistines.
扫罗和大卫的哥哥们, 以及以色列众人都在以拉谷与非利士人作战.

17:20 David rose early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and he took the provisions and went as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the encampment while the troops were going to the battle line, and they raised the war cry.
大卫清早起来, 把羊群托给一个看守的人, 就照着耶西所吩咐他的, 带着食物去了. 他来到军营中的时候, 军队正出去列阵, 吶喊助阵.

17:21 Israel and the Philistines drew up in battle lines, one battle line against the other.
以色列人和非利士人都摆列阵势, 互相对峙.

17:22 David left the baggage he had with him in the care of the baggage keeper, ran to the battle line, and came and asked how his brothers were doing.
大卫把身上的东西留在看守物件的人手中, 跑到战阵上去, 向他的哥哥们问安.

17:23 While he was speaking to them, the champion, whose name was Goliath the Philistine from Gath, was coming up from the caves of the Philistines. He spoke just as he had previously, and David heard his words.
大卫正与他们说话的时候, 那个讨战的人, 就是迦特的非利士人, 名叫歌利亚, 从非利士人阵中上来; 他说的又是同样的那些话, 大卫都听见了.

17:24 When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from his presence and were very afraid.
所有的以色列人一看见那人, 就都从他面前逃跑, 非常害怕.

17:25 And the men of Israel said, “Did you see this man who has come up? For he is going up to defy Israel! It will be that the man who defeats him, the king will make him very rich with great wealth and will give him his daughter in marriage and will make his father’s house free in Israel.”
以色列人彼此说: “这个上来的人你们看见了吗? 他上来是要向以色列人骂阵的. 如果有人能击杀他, 王必赏赐他大财富, 把自己的女儿给他作妻子, 并且使他的父家在以色列中免纳税, 免服役. ”

17:26 Now David had spoken to the men who were standing with him, saying, “What will be done for the man who defeats this Philistine and removes the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he defies the battle lines of the living God?”
大卫问站在他旁边的人说: “如果有人击杀这个非利士人, 除去以色列人的耻辱, 那人会得到怎么的对待呢? 这未受割礼的非利士人是谁呢? 竟敢向永活的神的军队骂阵? ”

17:27 And the troops had spoken to him according to this word, saying, “So it will be done for the man who defeats him.”
于是众民用以上的那些话回答他说: “如果有人能击杀他, 那人必得这样的对待. ”

17:28 His oldest brother Eliab heard while he was speaking to the men, and Eliab became very angry against David and said, “Why have you come down today, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumptuousness and the evil of your heart! For you have come down in order to see the battle!”
大卫与那些人说话的时候, 他的大哥以利押听见了, 就向大卫发怒, 说: “你为什么下这里来呢? 在旷野的那几只羊你托了给谁呢? 我知道你的骄傲和你心里的恶意. 你下来是要看打仗. ”

17:29 David replied, “What have I done now? I merely asked a question!
大卫说: “我现在作了什么事呢? 不是只说了一句话吗? ”

17:30 He turned around from him to another opposite him and he spoke to him in the same way, and the people answered him as before.
大卫离开他的哥哥, 转向另一个人, 问同样的问题. 众民还是用先前的话回答他.

17:31 Now the words which David had spoken were heard and they reported them to Saul, and he summoned him.
有人听见大卫所说的这些话, 就告诉扫罗; 扫罗就派人去把大卫接来.

17:32 David said to Saul, “Do not let anyone’s heart fail concerning him! Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
大卫对扫罗说: “大家都不要因这非利士人丧胆, 你的仆人要去与这非利士人决斗. ”

17:33 But Saul said to David, “You will not be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, because you are only a boy, whereas he has been a man of war since his childhood!”
扫罗对大卫说: “你不能去与这非利士人决斗, 因为你年纪还轻, 那人从小就作战士. ”

17:34 And David said to Saul, “Your servant has been a shepherd of the flock for his father. If the lion or the bear would come and carry off a sheep from the group,
大卫对扫罗说: “你仆人是为父亲放羊的, 有时狮子或熊来了, 从羊群中抓去一只小羊,

17:35 I would go out after it and strike it down and rescue the sheep from its mouth. If it rose against me, I would grab it by its beard and strike it down and kill it.
我就出去追赶它, 击打它, 从它的嘴里把小羊救出来. 如果它起来攻击我, 我就揪住它的胡须, 击打它, 把它杀死.

17:36 Your servant has struck down both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he defied the battle lines of the living God.”
你仆人不但击杀过狮子, 也击杀过熊. 这个未受割礼的非利士人也必像一只狮子或熊一样, 因为他向永活的神的军队骂阵. ”

17:37 And David said, “Yahweh, who rescued me from the hand of the lion and from the hand of the bear, will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “Go and may Yahweh be with you!”
大卫又说: “那曾救我脱离狮爪和熊掌的耶和华, 也必救我脱离这非利士人的手. ”于是扫罗对大卫说: “你去吧! 愿耶和华与你同在. ”

17:38 Then Saul clothed David with his own fighting attire and put a helmet of bronze on his head and clothed him with body armor.
扫罗把自己的战袍给大卫穿上, 把铜盔戴在他的头上, 又给他穿上铠甲.

17:39 Then David strapped on his sword over his fighting attire, but he tried in vain to walk around, for he was not trained to use them. So David said to Saul, “I am not able to walk with these, because I am not trained to use them.” So David removed them.
大卫把刀佩带在战袍上. 因为他以前没有穿过, 现在试着走一下. 大卫对扫罗说: “穿戴着这些东西, 我不能走动, 因为我从前没有穿过. ”大卫就把这些装备从身上脱下来.

17:40 Then he took his staff in his hand, picked out for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and he put them in his shepherd’s bag, in the pouch. And with his sling in his hand, he approached the Philistine.
他手中拿着自己的杖, 又从溪里挑选了五块光滑的石子, 放在口袋里, 就是牧人用的那种袋子, 手里又拿着甩石的机弦, 就向那非利士人走近去.

17:41 Then the Philistine came on, getting nearer and nearer to David, with his shield bearer in front of him.
那非利士人也向着大卫慢慢走过来, 拿大盾牌的人在他前面走.

17:42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was only a boy and ruddy with a handsome appearance.
那非利士人观看, 看见了大卫, 就藐视他, 因为他年纪还轻, 面色红润, 外貌英俊.

17:43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you are coming to me with sticks?” Then the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
那非利士人对大卫说: “难道我是一条狗吗? 你竟拿杖来攻击我. ”于是指着自己的神咒诅大卫.

17:44 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me so that I can give your flesh to the birds of heaven and to the wild animals of the field!”
那非利士人又对大卫说: “你到我这里来吧! 我要把你的肉给空中的飞鸟和田野的走兽吃. ”

17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I am coming to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the battle lines of Israel, whom you have defied!
大卫回答那非利士人: “你来攻击我是靠刀,靠枪, 但我来攻击你是靠万军之耶和华的名; 万军之耶和华就是你所辱骂的以色列军队的神.

17:46 This day Yahweh will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head! Then I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of heaven and to the animals of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God who is for Israel.
今天耶和华要把你交在我手里, 我必击杀你, 砍下你的头. 今天我还要把非利士人军队的尸体给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽吃. 这样, 全地的人就都知道以色列中有一位神.

17:47 And all of this assembly will know that Yahweh does not rescue with sword or with spear, for the battle belongs to Yahweh, and he will give you into our hands!”
也使这些人群都知道, 耶和华拯救人不是靠刀, 不是靠枪, 因为战争的胜败在于耶和华, 他必把你们交在我们的手里. ”

17:48 When the Philistine got up and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly to the battle line to meet the Philistine.
那非利士人起身, 迎着大卫慢慢走过来; 大卫也赶快往阵上跑去, 迎战那非利士人.

17:49 Then David put his hand into the bag and took a stone from it and slung it. He struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
大卫伸手入口袋里, 从里面拿出了一块石子来, 用机弦甩去, 击中了那非利士人的前额; 石子穿入前额里面, 他就仆倒, 面伏于地.

17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone, and he struck down the Philistine and killed him, but there was no sword in David’s hand.
这样, 大卫用机弦和一块石子胜过了那非利士人. 大卫击杀了那非利士人, 但他手中没有刀.

17:51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it from its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
大卫跑过去, 站在那非利士人的身边, 拿起他的刀来, 把刀从鞘中拔出来, 杀死他, 又用刀砍下他的头. 非利士人看见他们的勇士死了, 就都逃跑.

17:52 The men of Israel and Judah got up, raised the war cry, and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley and up to the gates of Ekron. So the slain of the Philistines fell on the way to Shaaraim up to Gath and as far as Ekron.
以色列人和犹大人就起来, 高声吶喊, 追赶非利士人, 直到迦特的入口和以革伦的城门. 被刺死的非利士人都倒在沙拉音的路上, 直到迦特和以革伦.

17:53 Then the Israelites returned from pursuing the Philistines and plundered their camp.
以色列人穷追非利士人回来以后, 就抢掠他们的营房.

17:54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem and placed his weapons in his tent.
大卫拿起那非利士人的头, 把它带到耶路撒冷去, 却把那人的武器放在自己的帐棚里.

17:55 Now when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Whose son is this young man, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”
扫罗看见大卫出去迎战那非利士人, 就问元帅押尼珥: “押尼珥啊, 这个年轻人是谁的儿子? ”押尼珥回答: “我敢指着王起誓, 我不知道. ”

17:56 Then the king said, “You inquire whose son this young man is.”
王说: “你去问问这个少年是谁的儿子. ”

17:57 So when David returned from striking down the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul. The head of the Philistine was in his hand.
大卫击杀了那非利士人回来的时候, 押尼珥迎接他, 把他带到扫罗面前, 大卫手中还拿着那非利士人的头.

17:58 Then Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
扫罗问他: “年轻人啊, 你是谁的儿子? ”大卫回答: “我是你仆人伯利恒人耶西的儿子. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 18

18:1 When he finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan became attached to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
大卫对扫罗说完了话, 约拿单的心和大卫的心就深相契合. 约拿单爱大卫如同爱自己的命.

18:2 Saul took him on that very day and did not allow him to return to his father’s house.
从那天起, 扫罗就把大卫留下来, 不让他回到父家去.

18:3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
约拿单与大卫立盟约, 因为他爱大卫如同爱自己的命.

18:4 Jonathan stripped off the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his fighting attire, and even his sword, his bow, and his belt.
约拿单把自己身上的外袍脱下来给大卫, 又把自己的战衣,刀,弓和腰带都给了他.

18:5 David went out whenever Saul sent him, and he succeeded. So Saul appointed him over the men of the war, and it pleased all the people and even pleased the servants of Saul.
扫罗无论差派大卫到哪里去, 他都去, 并且凡事亨通. 于是扫罗立他作军兵的将领. 所有的人民和扫罗的臣仆都非常高兴.

18:6 When they were coming back after David had returned from striking down the Philistine, the women went out from all the cities of Israel singing and dancing to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
大卫击杀了那非利士人, 与众人一同回来的时候, 妇女们从以色列各城里出来, 唱歌,跳舞,打鼓,欢呼,击磬迎接扫罗王.

18:7 And the women sang as they danced, and they said, “Saul has struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands!”
妇女们跳舞,歌唱, 说: “扫罗杀死千千! 大卫杀死万万! ”

18:8 Saul became very angry, and this saying displeased him, and he thought, “They have attributed to David ten thousands, but to me they have attributed thousands! What more can he have but the kingdom?”
扫罗非常恼怒, 不喜欢这话, 就说: “他们给大卫万万, 只给我千千, 就只剩下王位没给他. ”

18:9 So Saul was watching David with suspicion from that day onward.
从那天起, 扫罗就妒忌大卫.

18:10 On the next day, the evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. Now David was playing the lyre with his hand on that day as usual, and the spear was in Saul’s hand.
第二天, 从神那里来的恶鬼降在扫罗身上, 他就在家中胡言乱语. 大卫照常弹琴, 扫罗手里拿着枪.

18:11 Then Saul hurled the spear and thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
扫罗把枪掷过去, 心里说: “我要把大卫刺在墙上. ”大卫两次避开了他.

18:12 Now Saul was threatened by the presence of David because Yahweh was with him, but had departed from Saul.
扫罗惧怕大卫, 因为耶和华与大卫同在, 却离开了扫罗.

18:13 So Saul removed him from his presence, and made him commander of a thousand, so he marched in and out at the front of the army.
因此扫罗使大卫离开自己, 立他作千夫长, 大卫就领导众民出入.

18:14 And David was achieving success in all his ways and Yahweh was with him,
大卫所行的一切都亨通, 因为耶和华与他同在.

18:15 but when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was severely threatened by him.
扫罗看见大卫所行的十分亨通, 就怕他.

18:16 However, all of Israel and Judah were loving David, for he was going forth and marching ahead of them.
但是所有的以色列人和犹大人都爱大卫, 因为他领导他们出入.

18:17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as your wife. Only be a brave warrior for me and fight the battles of Yahweh.” For Saul thought, “My hand will not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
扫罗对大卫说: “我的大女儿米拉在这里. 我要把她赐给你作妻子; 只要你作我的勇士, 为耶和华争战. ”原来扫罗心里说: “我不好亲手害他, 让非利士人害他吧. ”

18:18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, the clan of my father in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?”
大卫回答扫罗: “我是谁? 我是什么身分? 我父家在以色列人中算得什么? 我怎么作王的女婿呢? ”

18:19 But at the time Saul’s daughter Merab was to be given to David, she was given instead to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
到了扫罗的女儿米拉该嫁给大卫的时候, 扫罗却把她给了米何拉人亚得列作妻子.

18:20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, so they told Saul, and the matter pleased him.
扫罗的女儿米甲爱大卫. 有人把这事告诉扫罗, 扫罗就欢喜,

18:21 And Saul thought, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a snare for him and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time you can become my son-in-law today.”
心里想: “我要把米甲给大卫, 利用米甲作他的陷阱, 好让非利士人的手害他. ”于是扫罗对大卫说: “你今天可以第二次作我的女婿. ”

18:22 Then Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David in secret, saying, ‘Look, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. So then, become a son-in-law of the king.’ ”
扫罗吩咐他的臣仆: “你们要私下对大卫说: ‘王喜欢你, 他的臣仆也都爱你, 现在你要作王的女婿! ’”

18:23 And Saul’s servants spoke these words to David privately. But David said, “Is it insignificant in your sight to become the son-in-law of the king, as I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?”
于是扫罗的臣仆把这些话说给大卫听. 大卫说: “你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗? 我是个贫穷卑微的人. ”

18:24 So the servants of Saul informed him, saying, “This is what David said.”
扫罗的臣仆把大卫所说的这些话都报告了扫罗.

18:25 Then Saul said, “This is what you must say to David: ‘The king desires no bride price except for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the enemies of the king.’ ” (Now Saul had planned to allow David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.)
扫罗说: “你们要对大卫这样说: ‘王不要什么聘礼, 只要一百个非利士人的包皮, 好在王的仇敌身上报仇. ’”扫罗企图使大卫死在非利士人的手里.

18:26 So his servants told David these words, and the matter pleased David to become the son-in-law of the king as the specified time had not expired.
扫罗的臣仆把这些话告诉了大卫, 大卫就乐意作王的女婿. 在日期未满之时,

18:27 And David got up, and he and his men went and struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they presented the full number to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his wife.
大卫和跟随他的人就起身出去, 在非利士人中击杀了二百人, 把他们的包皮带回来, 满数交给王, 要作王的女婿. 于是扫罗把他的女儿米甲给大卫作妻子.

18:28 When Saul realized that Yahweh was with David and his own daughter Michal loved him,
扫罗看见耶和华与大卫同在, 又知道自己的女儿米甲也爱大卫,

18:29 Saul was threatened by David still more, so Saul became a perpetual enemy of David.
就更怕大卫, 常常与他为敌.

18:30 Then the commanders of the Philistines went out for battle, and as often as they went out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very esteemed.
非利士人的领袖常常出征, 每逢他们出征, 大卫作事都比扫罗所有的臣仆所作的更亨通, 所以他的名字极为人尊重.

I Samuel - Chapter 19

19:1 Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants about killing David, but Saul’s son Jonathan liked David very much.
扫罗吩咐他的儿子约拿单和他所有的臣仆要把大卫杀死, 但扫罗的儿子约拿单非常喜爱大卫.

19:2 So Jonathan informed David, saying, “My father Saul is trying to kill you; now please take care! In the morning you should stay in the hiding place and conceal yourself.
约拿单告诉大卫: “我父亲扫罗正设法要杀死你. 所以明天早晨你要小心, 留在隐密的地方里, 躲藏起来.

19:3 I will go out and stand at my father’s side in the field where you are, and I will speak about you to my father; if I find out anything I will tell it to you.”
我会出去, 到你藏身的那块田那里, 站在我父亲旁边, 和他谈论你的事. 我看看情形怎样, 然后告诉你. ”

19:4 So Jonathan spoke well about David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his service for you has been very good.
约拿单向父亲扫罗替大卫说好话, 说: “王不要得罪你的仆人大卫, 因为他没有得罪你; 并且他所作的, 对你大有好处.

19:5 He put his life in his hand and attacked the Philistine, and Yahweh brought about a great victory for all of Israel, and you saw it and rejoiced! Now why should you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?”
他冒着生命的危险击杀了那非利士人, 耶和华为以色列人施行了大拯救, 那时你看见了, 也很欢喜. 现在你为什么要犯罪, 无缘无故杀死大卫, 流无辜人的血呢? ”

19:6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death!”
扫罗听了约拿单的话, 就起誓, 说: “我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 大卫必不会被杀死. ”

19:7 Jonathan called to David and told him all of these words. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul and he was before him as formerly.
约拿单叫大卫来, 把这一切话都告诉他; 约拿单把大卫带到扫罗那里, 他就像以前一样, 侍候在扫罗面前.

19:8 War came again, so David went out and fought against the Philistines and defeated them thoroughly so that they fled before him.
后来, 又有战事; 大卫出去与非利士人交战, 大败他们, 他们就在大卫面前逃跑.

19:9 Then the evil spirit from Yahweh came upon Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing a stringed instrument in his hand.
从耶和华那里来的恶鬼又临到扫罗身上; 那时扫罗坐在屋里, 手里拿着枪. 大卫正在弹琴,

19:10 So Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall, and David fled and escaped that same night.
扫罗就想用枪刺杀大卫, 把他刺在墙上, 但大卫从扫罗面前躲开了, 他的枪刺在墙上. 那天晚上大卫逃跑, 就逃脱了.

19:11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to guard him and to kill him in the morning, but Michal his wife told David, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, then tomorrow you will be killed!”
扫罗派人到大卫家里去监视他, 要在第二天早晨杀死他. 大卫的妻子米甲告诉他说: “今天晚上你若不逃命, 明天就会被杀死. ”

19:12 So Michal lowered David through the window, and he went and fled and escaped.
于是米甲从窗口把大卫缒下去, 大卫就离开那里逃走, 逃脱了.

19:13 Then Michal took the household god and put it on the bed and put a quilt of goat’s hair at its head and covered it with the clothes.
米甲把家中的一尊神像拿来, 放在床上, 把头枕在用山羊毛弄成的枕头上, 再用衣服盖着.

19:14 And Saul sent messengers to arrest David, but she said, “He is ill.”
扫罗派人来捉拿大卫, 米甲说: “他病了. ”

19:15 So Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I can kill him.”
扫罗又派人去看大卫说: “你们把他连床一起抬到我这里来, 我好杀死他. ”

19:16 When the messengers came, to their surprise the idol was on the bed with the quilt of goat’s hair at the head.
奉派的人进去, 看见床上有一尊家中的神像, 头枕在用山羊毛弄成的枕头上.

19:17 Then Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and sent away my enemy, so that he escaped?” Michal said to Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go, why should I kill you?’ ”
扫罗问米甲: “你为什么这样欺骗我, 放了我的仇敌, 让他逃走呢? ”米甲回答扫罗: “他对我说: ‘放我走! 否则我要杀死你. ’”

19:18 So David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
大卫逃跑, 逃脱了, 来到拉玛见撒母耳, 把扫罗对他所作的一切都告诉了撒母耳. 然后他和撒母耳去拿约, 住在那里.

19:19 And it was told to Saul, “David is in Naioth in Ramah.”
有人告诉扫罗: “大卫住在拉玛的拿约. ”

19:20 So Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying and Samuel standing as chief over them, then the Spirit of God came upon Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
于是扫罗派人去捉大卫. 派去的人看见一群先知正在受感说话, 撒母耳站着带领他们. 那时, 神的灵也临到扫罗的使者身上, 他们都受感说话.

19:21 So they told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Again Saul sent messengers a third time, and they also prophesied.
有人把这事告诉了扫罗, 他就再派别的人去, 这些人也受感说话. 扫罗第三次派人去, 他们也受感说话.

19:22 Then he also went to Ramah. When he came to the great cistern which was in Secu, he asked and said, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “Look they are in Naioth in Ramah.”
后来, 扫罗也亲自到拉玛去, 到了西沽的大井, 就问人, 说: “撒母耳和大卫在哪里? ”有一个人回答: “在拉玛的拿约. ”

19:23 So he went there to Naioth in Ramah and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
扫罗就从那里往拉玛的拿约去. 神的灵也临到他身上, 他一面走, 一面受感说话, 直到他到了拉玛的拿约.

19:24 He also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
他脱掉了自己的衣服, 也在撒母耳面前受感说话. 那一日, 他整天整夜赤着身子躺着, 因此有一句俗语说: “扫罗也列在先知中吗? ”

I Samuel - Chapter 20

20:1 Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my guilt and what is my sin before your father that he is trying to kill me?
大卫从拉玛的拿约逃走, 来见约拿单, 说: “我作了什么? 我有什么罪孽? 我在你父亲面前犯了什么罪, 他竟寻索我的性命呢? ”

20:2 And he said to him, “Far from it! You will not die! Look, my father does not do anything large or small unless he reveals it to me. Why should my father hide this thing or anything from me?”
约拿单对他说: “绝对没有这事, 你必不会死. 我父亲作事, 无论大小, 没有不让我知道的, 为什么这事他偏要隐瞒我呢? 不会这样的. ”

20:3 Then David took an oath again and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thought, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he worry.’ But as Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, surely there is merely a step between me and death!”
大卫再起誓说: “你父亲一定知道我在你眼中蒙恩, 就心里想: ‘不要让约拿单知道这事, 免得他伤心. ’可是, 我指着永活的耶和华, 又指着你的性命起誓, 我离死只差一步. ”

20:4 Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you wish, I will do for you.”
约拿单对大卫说: “你心里想要什么, 我必为你作成. ”

20:5 David said to Jonathan, “Look, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should certainly sit with the king to eat. You must send me away so that I can hide myself in the field until the third evening.
大卫就对约拿单说: “你看, 明天是初一, 我本该与王一同坐席. 但是, 求你容我去藏在田里, 直到后天晚上.

20:6 If your father misses me at all, then you must say, ‘David earnestly asked from me to run to Bethlehem his city, for the yearly sacrifice is there for all the clan.’
如果你父亲不见我在座, 你就说: ‘大卫恳求我让他赶回他的本城伯利恒去, 因为他全家在那里有献年祭的事. ’

20:7 If he says ‘Good,’ it will mean peace for your servant; but if he is very angry, know that he has decided to do me harm.
如果你父亲这样说: ‘好! ’那么仆人就平安无事了; 如果他大大发怒, 你就知道, 他决意要害我了.

20:8 So you must show loyal love to your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you. But if there is guilt in me, then kill me yourself! But why should you bring me to your father?”
求你以慈爱待仆人, 因为你曾与仆人在耶和华面前立盟约. 如果我有罪孽, 你就亲手把我杀死, 为什么要把我交给你父亲呢? ”

20:9 Then Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I know for certain that my father decided evil should come upon you, would I not have told it to you?”
约拿单说: “绝对没有这事, 如果我知道我父亲决意要害你, 我会不告诉你吗? ”

20:10 Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if what your father answers you is harsh?”
大卫对约拿单说: “如果你父亲严厉地回答你, 谁来告诉我呢? ”

20:11 And Jonathan said to David, “Come, let us go out to the field.” So the two of them went out to the field.
约拿单对大卫说: “你来, 我们出到田里去吧! ”他们二人就出到田里去了.

20:12 Then Jonathan said to David, “Yahweh the God of Israel is my witness that I will question my father by this time the day after tomorrow. And look, if he is well disposed toward you, will I not send word to you and disclose it to you?
约拿单对大卫说: “愿耶和华以色列的神作证, 明天或后天约在这个时候, 我探出了我父亲的意思, 如果他对你有好感, 那时我会不派人来告诉你吗?

20:13 So may Yahweh punish Jonathan and more if my father decides to do you harm and if I fail to disclose it to you and send word to you that you can go safely. And may Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father.
假如我父亲有意要害你, 我若是不告诉你, 不让你走, 不使你平平安安地离去, 愿耶和华加倍惩罚我. 愿耶和华与你同在, 好像从前与我父亲同在一样.

20:14 And not while I am still alive, will you not show the loyal love of Yahweh with me, that I may not die?
我活着的时候, 求你以耶和华的慈爱待我, 使我不致于死.

20:15 And do not cut off your loyal love from my family forever, not even when Yahweh exterminates each of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”
我死了以后, 耶和华从地上一一剪除大卫的仇敌的时候, 你也不可向我的家永远断绝你的慈爱. ”

20:16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May Yahweh call the enemies of David to account.”
于是约拿单与大卫家立盟约, 说: “愿耶和华借大卫仇敌的手追讨违背盟约的罪. ”

20:17 And Jonathan again made David swear an oath, because he loved him; for with the love of his soul he loved him.
约拿单由于爱大卫, 就使大卫再起誓; 他爱大卫如同爱自己的命.

20:18 Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, for your seat will stay empty.
约拿单对大卫说: “明天是初一, 因为你的座位空着, 人必注意到你不在.

20:19 On the third day you must go down quickly and go to the place where you hid yourself on the day all this started and remain beside the stone Ezel.
到后天, 你要赶快下去, 到你以前出事那天藏身的地方, 在以色磐石旁边等候.

20:20 I will shoot three arrows to the side as if I were shooting at a target.
我要向磐石旁边射三支箭, 好像射箭靶一样.

20:21 Then I will send word to my servant, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I clearly say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring it,’ then come, for it means peace for you. And there is no problem, as Yahweh lives.
然后, 我要派一个仆人去, 说: ‘你去把箭找回来. ’如果我对那仆人说: ‘看哪! 箭在你的后面, 把箭拿回来. ’你就可以回来, 因为我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 你必平安无事.

20:22 But if I say this to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ go, for Yahweh has sent you away.
如果我对仆人说: ‘看哪! 箭在你的前面. ’你就要离去, 因为是耶和华打发你去的.

20:23 And as for the matter about which you and I spoke, look, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
至于你我之间所说的这事, 有耶和华永远在你我之间作证. ”

20:24 So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon came, the king was seated at the feast.
于是大卫在田里藏起来. 到了初一, 王坐席吃饭.

20:25 The king sat at his seat as before, the seat by the wall, and Jonathan got up, and Abner sat beside Saul, but David’s place was empty.
王照常坐在他的座位上, 就是靠墙的座位, 约拿单坐在对面, 押尼珥坐在扫罗旁边, 大卫的座位却空着.

20:26 But Saul said nothing on that day, for he thought, “Something happened to him. He is not ceremonially clean; surely he is not clean.”
那天扫罗没有说什么, 因为他心里想: “这是恰巧的事, 或许大卫沾染了不洁, 还没有得到洁净. ”

20:27 And then on the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David’s place was empty. So Saul asked Jonathan his son, “Why did the son of Jesse not come either yesterday or today to the feast?”
次日, 就是初二, 大卫的座位仍是空着. 于是扫罗问他的儿子约拿单: “为什么耶西的儿子昨天今天都没有来吃饭呢? ”

20:28 Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission from me to go up to Bethlehem.
约拿单回答扫罗: “大卫恳切地求我让他回伯利恒去.

20:29 He said, ‘Send me away, please, for our clan sacrifice is in the city, and my brother commanded me to be present. So then, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me slip away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the table of the king.”
他说: ‘求你让我去, 因为我们的家在城里有献祭的事, 我哥哥吩咐我去. 所以, 我若是在你眼前蒙恩, 求你让我离开, 看看我的哥哥们. ’因此, 大卫没有来赴王的筵席. ”

20:30 Then Saul became angry at Jonathan and said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
于是扫罗向约拿单发怒, 对他说: “你这邪僻悖逆妇人所生的, 我岂不知道你喜悦耶西的儿子, 自取羞辱, 也羞辱生你的母亲吗?

20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse is alive on the earth, you and your kingdom will not be established! So then, send and bring him to me, for he will surely die!”
因为只要耶西的儿子还活在这世上, 你和你的国就不能稳固. 现在, 你要派人去把他抓到我这里来, 因为他是该死的. ”

20:32 But Jonathan answered his father Saul and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”
约拿单回答他父亲扫罗说: “为什么要把他处死呢? 他作了什么事呢? ”

20:33 Then Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. So Jonathan knew that his father had decided to kill David.
扫罗向着约拿单把枪掷过去, 要刺杀他. 约拿单就知道, 他父亲已经决意要杀死大卫.

20:34 Jonathan got up from the table enraged, and did not eat on the second day of the new moon because he was upset about David, because his father had disgraced him.
约拿单怒气冲冲地从席间退去, 初二这天, 他没有吃饭; 因为他父亲羞辱了大卫, 他就为大卫担忧.

20:35 And then in the morning Jonathan went out to the field for the appointment with David, and a young boy was with him.
到了早晨, 约拿单照着与大卫约定的时候, 出到田里去, 有一个小童与他在一起.

20:36 He said to his servant, “Run, please find the arrows that I am shooting!” The boy ran, and he shot the arrow to pass over him.
他对那童仆说: “你跑去, 把我所射的箭找回来. ”那童仆跑去的时候, 约拿单就把箭射到他前面.

20:37 When the boy came up to the place of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called out after the boy and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”
那童仆到了约拿单的箭射到的地方, 约拿单就在那童仆的背后喊叫: “箭不是在你的前面吗? ”

20:38 Then Jonathan called out after the boy, “Quick, hurry, do not linger!” And Jonathan’s servant collected the arrows and came to his master.
约拿单又在那童仆的背后喊叫: “赶快跑去! 不要停留! ”那童仆就把箭拾起来, 回到他主人那里去.

20:39 But the boy did not know anything about this; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
那童仆一点也不知道这是什么意思, 只有约拿单和大卫知道.

20:40 Jonathan gave his weapons to his servant and said to him, “Go, bring them to the city.”
约拿单把自己的武器交给他的童仆, 对他说: “你带回城里去吧! ”

20:41 The boy left, and then David got up from the south side, and he fell on his face to the ground and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the most.
那童仆一离去, 大卫就从石堆的南边起来, 脸伏于地, 叩拜了三次. 二人互相亲嘴, 相对哭泣, 大卫哭得更悲痛.

20:42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have sworn, the two of us, an oath in the name of Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring forever.” Then he got up and left, and Jonathan went into the city.
约拿单对大卫说: “你平平安安走吧! 我们二人曾指着耶和华的名起誓说: ‘愿耶和华在你我之间, 也在我的后裔和你的后裔之间作证, 直到永远. ’”大卫就起身离开, 约拿单也回城里去了(“大卫就起身离开, 约拿单也回城里去了. ”在《马索拉抄本》为 21:1).

I Samuel - Chapter 21

21:1 Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came trembling to meet David, and he said to him, “Why are you alone and there are no men with you?”
大卫到了挪伯祭司亚希米勒那里, 亚希米勒战战兢兢地迎接大卫, 对他说: “你为什么独自一人, 没有人跟随你呢? ”

21:2 So David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king charged me with a matter and said to me, ‘No one must know anything about this matter on which I am sending you, with which I have charged you and the servants.’ ” So I have arranged to meet with my servants at a certain place.
大卫对亚希米勒祭司说: “王吩咐我作一件事, 对我说: ‘我差派你, 吩咐你去办的这事, 你不要让任何人知道, 我已经指示我的仆人在某地会面. ’

21:3 Now then, what do you have at hand? Give me five loaves of bread or whatever is here.”
现在你手中有什么? 求你给我五个饼, 或是别的食物. ”

21:4 The priest answered David and said, “There is no ordinary bread here at hand; there is only holy bread, but only if the young men have kept themselves from women.”
祭司回答大卫: “我手中没有普通的饼, 只有圣饼. 只有那些没有亲近过女人的年轻人, 才可以吃的. ”

21:5 David answered the priest and said to him, “Indeed, women were held back from us as it has been when I’ve gone out before. And the things of the young men are holy when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will the things be holy?”
大卫回答祭司说: “像以往我出征的时候一样, 这次我们出征前, 确实没有亲近女人. 虽然这是一次普通的任务, 众仆人的器皿还是清洁的, 何况今天这些器皿更加是清洁的. ”

21:6 So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence, which was removed from before Yahweh, in order to set hot bread there on the day when it was taken away.
于是祭司把圣饼给他, 因为在那里没有别的饼, 只有陈设饼, 就是那些刚从耶和华面前拿下来, 为要换上热的.

21:7 Now there was a man from the servants of Saul on that day, detained before Yahweh, whose name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul’s shepherds.
那天有一个扫罗的臣仆在那里, 留在耶和华面前. 他名叫多益, 是以东人, 是扫罗牧羊人中的领袖.

21:8 David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not at your disposal a spear or a sword? For I took neither my sword nor my weapons with me because the king’s matter was urgent.”
大卫问亚希米勒: “你手下有枪有刀没有? 因为王的事很急迫, 所以我手里连刀剑或其他武器都没有带来. ”

21:9 So the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine whom you killed in the valley of Elah is here, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want to take it for yourself, then take it, for there is no other except it here.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
祭司回答: “有一把刀, 是你从前在以拉谷击杀的那非利士人歌利亚的刀. 这刀用布包着, 放在以弗得后面, 你若是要拿去自用, 就拿去吧, 因为这里除了这刀以外, 再没有别的武器了. ”大卫说: “没有比这更好的刀了, 请你给我吧! ”

21:10 So David got up and fled on that day from the presence of Saul, and he came to Achish the king of Gath.
那一天大卫起来, 从扫罗面前逃走, 到了迦特王亚吉那里.

21:11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Is it not for this one that they sang in the dances, saying, ‘Saul killed his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’ ”
亚吉的臣仆对亚吉说: “这不是那地的王大卫吗? 那里的妇女不是指着他跳舞歌唱说: ‘扫罗杀死千千, 大卫杀死万万’吗? ”

21:12 David took these words seriously and felt severely threatened by Achish the king of Gath.
大卫把这些话记在心里, 他非常怕迦特王亚吉,

21:13 So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be mad in their presence. He made scratches on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down into his beard.
就在众人面前假装神智不健全, 在他们手下装疯, 在城门的门扇上胡乱涂写, 又让唾沫流到胡须上.

21:14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see a madman! Why did you bring him to me?
亚吉就对他的臣仆说: “你们看, 这个人疯了, 你们为什么把他带到我这里来呢?

21:15 Do I lack madmen that you have brought this one to act like a madman before me? Should this one enter my household?”
难道我缺少疯子吗? 你们竟把这人带来我面前发疯. 这人怎可以进我的家呢? ”

I Samuel - Chapter 22

22:1 David went from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father’s household heard, they came down to him there.
大卫离开那里, 逃到亚杜兰洞. 他哥哥们和他父亲的全家听到了, 就都下到他那里去.

22:2 Every man in distress and every man who had a creditor and every embittered man gathered to him, and he became their commander. Now there were about four hundred men with him.
凡是受窘迫的,负债的,心里不满的, 都聚集到大卫那里, 他就成了他们的领袖. 那时, 跟从他的约有四百人.

22:3 And David went up from there to Mizpah of Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”
大卫从那里到摩押的米斯巴去, 对摩押王说: “求你容许我父母来住在你们这里, 直到我知道神要为我作什么. ”

22:4 So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the days David was in the stronghold.
于是大卫把他们留在摩押王那里. 大卫住在山寨的日子有多久, 他父母也与摩押王同住多久.

22:5 Then Gad the prophet said to David, “You should not stay in the stronghold; leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and came to the forest of Hereth.
迦得先知对大卫说: “你不要留在山寨, 要到犹大地去. ”大卫就离开那里, 往哈列的森林去了.

22:6 Now Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been located. Saul was sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at Ramah. Now his spear was in his hand and all his servants were stationed around him.
扫罗听见发现了大卫和跟从他的人的行踪. 那时扫罗在基比亚坐在山上一棵垂柳树下, 手中拿着枪, 众臣仆侍立在他周围.

22:7 Then Saul said to the servants who were standing around him, “Please listen, Benjaminites! Will the son of Jesse give you all fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?
扫罗就对侍立在他周围的臣仆说: “便雅悯人哪, 你们要听! 耶西的儿子能把田地和葡萄园赐给你们各人吗? 他能立你们各人作千夫长,作百夫长吗?

22:8 For all of you have conspired against me, and no one discloses to me the making of an agreement between my son and the son of Jesse! None of you have had sympathy for me or disclosed to me that my son commissioned my servant against me to ambush me as has been done this day!”
你们竟都同谋陷害我. 我的儿子与耶西的儿子立盟约的时候, 没有人告诉我; 我的儿子挑唆我的臣仆陷害我, 就像今天一样, 你们中间也没有人关心我, 告诉我. ”

22:9 But Doeg the Edomite, who was stationed among the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
那时以东人多益与扫罗的臣仆侍立在那里, 他回答说: “我曾看见耶西的儿子到了挪伯亚希突的儿子亚希米勒那里.

22:10 And he inquired of Yahweh for him and gave him provisions and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
亚希米勒为他求问耶和华, 给他粮食, 又把非利士人歌利亚的刀给他. ”

22:11 So the king sent to summon Ahimelech the son of Ahitub the priest, and all his father’s household, the priests who were at Nob. So all of them came to the king.
扫罗就派人去把亚希突的儿子, 亚希米勒祭司和他父亲的全家, 就是在挪伯的众祭司, 都召了来; 他们众人都来见王.

22:12 Saul said, “Listen please, son of Ahitub.” He said, “Here I am, my lord.”
扫罗说: “亚希突的儿子啊! 你要听. ”他回答: “我主啊! 我在这里. ”

22:13 Then Saul said to him, “Why did you conspire against me, you and the son of Jesse, when you gave to him bread and a sword, and by inquiring of God for him so that he might arise against me to ambush me as has been done this day?”
扫罗对他说: “你为什么与耶西的儿子合谋陷害我? 把食物和刀给他, 又为他求问神, 使他起来陷害我, 就像今天一样呢? ”

22:14 But Ahimelech answered the king and said, “And who among all your servants is as faithful as David? He is the son-in-law of the king who moves quickly to safeguard you and is honored in your house.
亚希米勒回答王说: “在你所有的臣仆中, 有谁像大卫那样忠心呢? 他是王的女婿, 又是你的卫队的队长, 并且在你朝中是受敬重的.

22:15 Only today I began to inquire of God for him. Far be it from me that the king should impute anything against his servant or against my father’s household, for your servant has not known any of this matter, little or much.”
我岂是今天才开始为他求问神的呢? 绝对不是. 请王不要归罪于我和我父的全家, 因为这整件事无论大小, 我都不知道. ”

22:16 Then the king said, “You must certainly die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s household!”
王说: “亚希米勒啊! 你和你父的全家都是该死的. ”

22:17 So the king said to the runners who were stationed around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh, because they also support David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king were not willing to raise their hand to attack the priests of Yahweh.
王就对侍立在他周围的卫兵说: “你们转过去, 把耶和华的祭司杀死, 因为他们与大卫携手, 又因为他们知道大卫逃跑, 也不告诉我. ”但王的臣仆不愿下手杀害耶和华的祭司.

22:18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and attack the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests himself, and on that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
于是王对多益说: “你转过去把祭司击杀. ”以东人多益就转过去把祭司击杀了. 那一天, 他杀了八十五个穿以弗得的人,

22:19 And he put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, from man to woman, from child to infant, and ox and donkey and sheep; all to the sword.
又用刀击杀了祭司城挪伯, 无论男女, 孩童或吃奶的婴儿, 牛驴或羊, 都用刀杀尽.

22:20 But, one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
亚希突的儿子亚希米勒有一个儿子, 名叫亚比亚他, 逃过了大难, 就逃去跟随大卫.

22:21 Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of Yahweh.
亚比亚他把扫罗杀害耶和华祭司的事告诉了大卫,

22:22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul. I am responsible for the deaths of all your father’s household!
大卫就对亚比亚他说: “那一天我见以东人多益在那里, 就知道他必定会告诉扫罗. 你父全家每个人的死, 我都有责任.

22:23 Stay with me! Do not fear, because he who seeks my life seeks your life. You are in good care with me.”
你可以住在我这里. 不要惧怕, 因为那寻索你命的, 正在寻索我的命, 你与我在一起就可保安全. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 23

23:1 Now they told David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting in Keilah and they are raiding the threshing floors.”
有人告诉大卫: “看哪, 非利士人正在攻打基伊拉, 并且抢掠禾场. ”

23:2 So David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And Yahweh said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
大卫就求问耶和华说: “我可以去击打这些非利士人吗? ”耶和华对大卫说: “你可以去击打非利士人, 拯救基伊拉. ”

23:3 But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more if we go to Keilah to the battle lines of the Philistines?”
跟随大卫的人对他说: “看哪, 我们在犹大地这里尚且惧怕, 何况到基伊拉去攻打非利士人的军兵呢? ”

23:4 So David again inquired of Yahweh, and Yahweh answered him and said, “Get up, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand.”
于是大卫再求问耶和华. 耶和华回答他说: “你只管起来, 下到基伊拉去, 因为我必把非利士人交在你的手里. ”

23:5 So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines. They drove off their livestock and dealt them a heavy blow. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
大卫和跟随他的人就到基伊拉去, 与非利士人争战, 掳走了他们的牲畜, 又在他们中间杀戮多人. 这样, 大卫拯救了基伊拉的居民.

23:6 Now when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, he went down with an ephod in his hand.
亚希米勒的儿子亚比亚他逃到基伊拉去见大卫的时候, 是手里带着以弗得下来的.

23:7 When it was told to Saul that David had gone to Keilah, Saul said, “God has given him into my hand, because he has shut himself in by going into a city with two barred gates.
有人告诉扫罗, 大卫到了基伊拉, 扫罗就说: “神把他交在我的手中了, 因为他进了一座有门有闩的城, 把自己关闭起来了. ”

23:8 Saul then summoned all of the army for the battle, to go down to Keilah to lay a siege against David and his men.
于是扫罗召集众人去争战, 要下到基伊拉去, 围困大卫和跟随他的人.

23:9 When David learned that Saul was plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
大卫知道扫罗设计害他, 就对亚比亚他祭司说: “把以弗得拿来! ”

23:10 And David said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel, your servant has clearly heard that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.
大卫说: “耶和华以色列的神啊! 你仆人确实听见了扫罗想要到基伊拉来, 为了我的缘故要毁灭这城.

23:11 Will the rulers of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? O Yahweh, God of Israel, please tell your servant!” And Yahweh said, “He will come down.”
基伊拉人会把我交在扫罗的手里吗? 扫罗会照着你仆人所听到的下来吗? 耶和华以色列的神啊! 求你告诉你仆人. ”耶和华说: “他必下来. ”

23:12 Then David said, “Will the rulers of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And Yahweh said, “They will deliver you.”
大卫又说: “基伊拉人会把我和跟随我的人交在扫罗手里吗? ”耶和华说: “他们必把你们交出来. ”

23:13 So David and his men got up, about six hundred men, and went out from Keilah and wandered wherever they could go. When it was told to Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he stopped his pursuit.
大卫和跟从他的人, 约有六百人, 就起身离开基伊拉, 到处漂泊. 有人告诉扫罗, 大卫已经逃离了基伊拉, 扫罗就不出去了.

23:14 David remained in the wilderness, in the strongholds, and in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him continually, but God did not give him into his hand.
大卫住在旷野的山寨里, 又住在亚弗旷野的山里. 扫罗天天寻索大卫, 神却不把大卫交在他手里.

23:15 When David realized that Saul had gone out to seek his life, David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
大卫惧怕, 因为扫罗出来寻索他的命. 那时大卫住在西弗旷野的何列斯那里.

23:16 So Jonathan the son of Saul got up and went to David at Horesh, and encouraged him through God.
扫罗的儿子约拿单起身, 到何列斯去见大卫, 鼓励他, 使他靠神坚强起来,

23:17 He said to him, “Do not be afraid, for the hand of my father Saul will not find you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. My father Saul knows this also.”
对他说: “你不要惧怕! 我父亲扫罗的手必不能害你. 你必要作以色列的王, 我要在你以下位居第二, 这事连我父亲扫罗也知道了. ”

23:18 Then the two of them made a covenant before Yahweh. David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went to his house.
于是他们二人在耶和华面前立了约. 大卫仍住在何列斯, 约拿单却回自己的家去了.

23:19 Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh on the hill of Hakilah, which is south of Jeshimon?
西弗人上到基比亚去见扫罗, 说: “大卫不是在我们这里的何列斯的山寨, 就是在旷野南边的哈基拉山上藏着吗?

23:20 So then, O king, whenever you want to come down, come down, and it will be for us to deliver him into the hand of the king.”
王啊, 现在请下来, 请你随着你的心愿下来, 我们必亲自把他交在王的手里. ”

23:21 And Saul said to them, “May you be blessed by Yahweh, for you have shown me compassion!
扫罗说: “愿耶和华赐福你们, 因为你们关心我.

23:22 Go, please, make certain again! Find out and see exactly where he is and who has seen him there! For they have said to me, ‘He is very cunning.’
你们要去再确实查看他脚踪所到的地方, 有谁看见他在那里, 因为有人对我说, 他非常狡猾.

23:23 Look, find out all of the hiding places where he hides. Then return to me with dependable information, and I will go with you. And then if he is there in the land, then I will seek him among all the thousands of Judah.”
你们要去查看他所有藏身的地方, 确定以后再回来见我, 我就与你们同去; 如果他在本地, 我必从犹大的千门万户中把他搜出来. ”

23:24 Then they got up and went to Ziph before Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon in the Arabah, to the south of Jeshimon.
于是西弗人起身, 在扫罗以先到西弗去了. 那时大卫和跟随他的人却在玛云旷野, 就是在荒野南边的亚拉巴.

23:25 And Saul and his men went to seek him, and they told David, so he went down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard this, he pursued David into the wilderness of Maon.
扫罗和跟随他的人去寻找大卫. 有人告诉大卫, 他就下到磐石那里, 留在玛云旷野. 扫罗听见了, 就在玛云旷野追赶大卫.

23:26 Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul, while Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.
扫罗在山这边走, 大卫和跟随他的人却在山那边走. 大卫匆匆忙忙逃避扫罗, 扫罗和跟随他的人却四面包围大卫和跟随他的人, 要把他们捉住.

23:27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, because the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
那时忽有使者来见扫罗说: “请你赶快回去, 因为非利士人来突击这地. ”

23:28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and he went to confront the Philistines. Therefore, they called that place the Rock of Division.
于是扫罗不再追赶大卫, 回去迎战非利士人. 因此这地方被称为西拉．哈玛希罗结.

23:29 David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of En Gedi.
大卫从那里上去, 住在隐．基底的山寨里.

I Samuel - Chapter 24

24:1 When Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, they told him, “Look, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”
扫罗追赶非利士人回来的时候, 有人告诉他说: “看哪, 大卫在隐．基底的旷野. ”

24:2 So Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and he and his men went to search for David in the direction of the Rocks of the Mountain Goats.
扫罗就从以色列人中选出三千精兵, 带领他们到野羊磐石去搜索大卫和跟随他的人.

24:3 He came to the sheep pens beside the road, and a cave was there. Then Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost part of the cave.
到了路旁的羊圈, 那里有一个洞, 扫罗进去大解; 那时, 大卫和跟随他的人正坐在洞里的深处.

24:4 And David’s men said to him, “Look, today is the day about which Yahweh said to you, ‘See, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you can do to him whatever seems good to you.’ ” So David got up and secretly cut the hem of Saul’s robe.
跟随大卫的人对他说: “耶和华曾应许你说: ‘我要把你的仇敌交在你的手里, 你可以随意待他. ’看哪! 今天就是时候了. ”于是大卫起来, 悄悄地割下扫罗外袍的衣边.

24:5 And then afterward David felt guilty, because he had cut the hem of Saul’s robe.
事后, 大卫为了割下扫罗的衣边, 心中自责,

24:6 He said to his men, “Far be it from me in Yahweh, that I do this thing to my lord, to Yahweh’s anointed one, by stretching out my hand against him! For he is the anointed one of Yahweh.”
就对跟随他的人说: “我在耶和华面前绝对不能这样对待我主耶和华的受膏者, 我绝对不能动手攻击他, 因为他是耶和华的受膏者. ”

24:7 So David rebuked his men with the words and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave, and he went on his way.
大卫用这些话阻止了跟随他的人, 不让他们起来攻击扫罗. 扫罗起来, 出了山洞, 继续走他的路去了.

24:8 Then David got up afterward and went out of the cave and called after Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked after him, David knelt down with his face to the ground and bowed down.
随后, 大卫也起来, 离开了山洞, 在扫罗背后呼叫, 说: “我主! 我王! ”扫罗回头向后看的时候, 大卫就脸伏于地, 向他叩拜.

24:9 Then David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of people who say: ‘Look, David is seeking to do you harm’?
大卫对扫罗说: “你为什么听信人的话, 说: ‘大卫想要害你’呢?

24:10 Look, this day your eyes have seen that Yahweh gave you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you. But I took pity on you and said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, because he is Yahweh’s anointed one.’
现在你亲眼看到, 今天耶和华在山洞里, 把你交在我手里. 有人叫我杀你, 我却爱惜你. 我说: ‘我不敢下手伤害我主, 因为他是耶和华的受膏者. ’

24:11 Now, my father, see, yes, see, the hem of your robe in my hand! For when I cut the hem of your robe I did not kill you. Know and realize that there is no evil or rebellion in my hand. I did not sin against you, but you are hunting down my life to take it.
我父啊, 请看, 你外袍的衣边在我手中. 我割下了你外袍的衣边, 却没有杀你. 你从此可以知道, 也可以看出我手中没有邪恶, 也没有过犯. 我虽然没有得罪你, 你却要猎取我的性命.

24:12 May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me on you, but my hand will not be against you!
愿耶和华在你我之间判断是非; 愿耶和华在你身上为我伸冤. 我的手却不敢伤害你.

24:13 Just as the ancient proverb says, ‘From the wicked, wickedness goes out,’ but my hand will not be against you!
正如古时的格言: ‘恶事出于恶人. ’所以, 我的手不敢伤害你.

24:14 After whom did the king of Israel go out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog? After one flea?
以色列的王出去追捕谁呢? 你现在追赶谁呢? 不过是追赶一条死狗, 一只跳蚤吧了!

24:15 May Yahweh be the judge, and let him judge between me and you, and may he see and plead my case. May he vindicate me against you!”
愿耶和华在你我中间施行审判, 断定是非; 愿他鉴察, 为我的案件伸冤, 救我脱离你的手. ”

24:16 When David finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
大卫对扫罗说完了这些话, 扫罗就说: “我儿大卫啊, 这是你的声音吗? ”于是扫罗放声大哭,

24:17 Then he said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me the good, but I have repaid you the evil.
对大卫说: “你比我公义, 因为你以良善待我, 我却以恶待你.

24:18 You have explained to me today that you have dealt well with me, how Yahweh delivered me into your hand but you did not kill me.
今天你所作的说明了你以良善待我, 因为耶和华把我交在你手里, 你却没有杀我.

24:19 For a man has found his enemy but sent him on his way safely. Now may Yahweh reward you with good in return for this day, for what you have done for me.
如果人遇见仇敌, 怎会让他平平安安离去呢? 愿耶和华因你今天对我所作的报答你.

24:20 So now then, look, I know that you will certainly be king and the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
现在我知道你必要作王, 以色列的王国必在你手里坚立起来.

24:21 So then, swear to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my descendants after me and that you will not wipe out my name from my father’s house.”
现在你要指着耶和华向我起誓, 不剪除我的后裔, 也不从我父家消灭我的名. ”

24:22 So David swore this on oath to Saul, and Saul went to his house, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
于是大卫向扫罗起誓, 扫罗就回自己的家去了, 大卫和跟随他的人也上山寨去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 25

25:1 Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for him. They buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David got up and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
撒母耳死了, 以色列众人都聚集起来, 为他哀哭, 把他埋葬在拉玛他自己的家里. 大卫起身, 下到巴兰的旷野去.

25:2 Now there was a man in Maon, whose business was in Carmel. The man was very rich and owned three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. Now the shearing of his sheep was taking place in Carmel.
在玛云有一个人, 他的产业在迦密. 他是一个很富有的人, 有绵羊三千只, 山羊一千只, 那时他正在迦密剪羊毛.

25:3 The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail. Now the woman was wise and beautiful, but the man was stubborn and mean, and he was as his heart.
那人名叫拿八, 他的妻子名叫亚比该. 这女人既聪明, 又美丽. 但那男人为人粗暴, 又行事凶恶. 他是个迦密族的人.

25:4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
大卫在旷野听说拿八正在剪羊毛,

25:5 So David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal; you will greet him in my name.
就差派十个仆人, 对他们说: “你们上迦密去见拿八, 以我的名义向他问安.

25:6 Then you must say to him, ‘Long life to you, and may it go well with you, with your house, and with all that is yours.
你们要这样说: ‘愿你长寿! 愿你平安! 愿你的家平安! 愿你所有的一切都平安!

25:7 Now I have heard that you have shearers. Now while your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat them, and nothing of theirs was missing, all the days they were in Carmel.
现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛. 你的牧人与我们在一起的时候, 我们都没有侮辱他们; 他们在迦密的日子, 也从没有遗失过什么.

25:8 Ask your servants and they will tell you! Let the young men find favor in your eyes because we have come on a feast day. Please give whatever you have on hand for your servants and for your son David.”
你可以问问你的仆人, 他们必会告诉你. 愿我派来的这些仆人在你眼前蒙恩, 因为我们是在好日子来的, 请你把手中所有的, 随便赏赐一点给你的仆人和你的儿子大卫. ’”

25:9 So David’s young men came and they spoke all these words to Nabal in the name of David. Then they waited.
大卫的仆人到了, 就以大卫的名义, 把这些话都对拿八说了, 然后等候答复.

25:10 But Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, there are many servants breaking away from the presence of their masters.
拿八回答大卫的仆人说: “大卫是谁? 耶西的儿子是谁? 现在离开主人逃走的仆人太多了.

25:11 Should I take my bread and my water and my meat which I have slaughtered for my shearers and give it to men whom I do not know where they are from?
我怎能把我的饼,我的水, 和我为剪羊毛的人宰杀的肉, 给那些我不知道从哪里来的人呢? ”

25:12 So David’s young men turned on their way and returned and came and told him according to all these words.
于是大卫的仆人转回原路, 回去了. 他们到了以后, 就把这一切话都告诉大卫.

25:13 Then David said to his men, “Each man strap on his sword!” So each one strapped on his sword, and David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage.
大卫对跟随他的人说: “你们各人都佩上刀. ”他们各人就佩上自己的刀, 大卫也佩上自己的刀. 跟随大卫上去的约有四百人, 有二百人留下来看守器具.

25:14 But a young man of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the desert to greet our master, but he addressed them angrily,
拿八的一个仆人告诉拿八的妻子亚比该说: “大卫从旷野派遣使者来向我们的主人问候, 主人却辱骂了他们.

25:15 even though the men were very good to us; we were not mistreated and did not miss anything all the days we went about with them while we were in the field.
但是, 那些人对我们很好. 我们在田野与他们往来的时候, 他们都没有侮辱我们, 我们也从没有遗失过什么.

25:16 They were a wall to us both night and day, all the days we were with them keeping the sheep.
我们与他们在一起牧羊的日子, 他们日夜都作保护我们的墙.

25:17 And so then, know and consider what you should do, for evil has been decided against our master and against all his household, and he is such a wicked man, nobody can reason with him!”
现在, 你要想一想, 看看你该怎么办, 因为灾祸必定临到我们的主人和他的全家. 他是一个性情凶恶的人, 没有人敢对他说话. ”

25:18 Then Abigail quickly took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five prepared sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and she put them on the donkeys.
亚比该急忙拿了两百个饼,两皮袋酒,五只预备好了的羊,十七公斤烘好了的穗子,一百个葡萄饼,两百个无花果饼, 都驮在驴背上,

25:19 Then she said to her servants, “Go ahead before me; look, I am coming after you,” but she did not tell her husband Nabal.
然后对她的仆人说: “你们先去, 我随着你们来. ”这事她却没有告诉她的丈夫拿八.

25:20 And then, as she was riding on the donkey and was going down the ravine of the mountain, David and his men were coming down to meet her, and she met them.
亚比该骑着驴, 正从山坡下来, 忽见大卫和跟随他的人也正从对面迎着她走下来, 亚比该就与他相遇了.

25:21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain I guarded all that this fellow had in the desert. And nothing was missed of all that was his, but he returned evil against me in place of good!
大卫曾经说过: “我在旷野看守这人一切所有的, 使他一切所有的一样也没有失落, 实在是白费心机了. 他竟然对我以恶报善.

25:22 May God severely punish the enemies of David and again do thus if I leave behind anything that is his until the morning, not even one male!”
如果我让这人一切所有的, 就是一个男丁, 留到明天早晨, 神怎样惩罚大卫的仇敌, 愿他也怎样加倍惩罚我. ”

25:23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from the donkey and fell on her face before David’s anger, and she bowed down to the ground.
亚比该见了大卫, 就急忙从驴背下来, 俯伏在大卫面前, 脸伏于地, 向他叩拜.

25:24 She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, be the guilt! Please let your female servant speak to you personally! Hear the words of your female servant!
她又俯伏在大卫的脚前, 说: “我王啊, 愿这罪孽归我. 求你容婢女向你讲话, 求你听婢女所说的话.

25:25 Please do not let my lord set his heart against this worthless man, Nabal; for as his name, so is he. Nabal is his name, and stupidity is with him! But I, your female servant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.
请我主不要把这个性情凶恶的人拿八放在心上. 因为他的名字怎样, 他的为人也怎样. 他名叫拿八, 他也真是愚笨. 我主派来的仆人, 你的婢女并没有看见.

25:26 So then, my lord, as Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, since Yahweh restrained you from bloodguilt by taking matters into your own hand, so then, may your enemies be like Nabal, even those who seek to do my lord harm.
我主啊, 现在我指着永活的耶和华, 又在你面前起誓, 耶和华既然阻止了你流人的血, 又阻止了你亲手报仇, 愿你的仇敌和那些谋害我主的人, 都像拿八一样.

25:27 So then, this gift which your female servant has brought to my lord, may it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
现在, 请把你婢女给我主带来的这礼物, 赐给跟随我主的仆人.

25:28 Please forgive the transgression of your female servant, because Yahweh will certainly make a lasting house for my lord, because my lord is fighting the battles of Yahweh, and evil will not be found in you as long as you live.
求你饶恕你婢女的过犯. 耶和华必为我主建立一个坚固的家, 因为我主为耶和华争战; 在你一生的日子里, 在你身上也找不到什么过错.

25:29 Should a man arise to pursue you and to seek your life, may the life of my lord be wrapped in the pouch of the living with Yahweh your God. But as for the life of your enemy, he will sling it from within the pocket of the sling!
虽然有人起来追赶你, 寻索你的命, 我主的性命必得保全在耶和华你的神生命的囊中. 至于你仇敌的命, 耶和华却要甩去, 像从甩石机甩出去一样.

25:30 And then when Yahweh has done for my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you as leader over Israel,
将来耶和华照着他应许的一切善待了你, 立了你作以色列的领袖的时候,

25:31 then this will not be an obstacle for you or a stumbling block of conscience for my lord either by the shedding of blood without cause or by my lord taking matters into his own hands. And when Yahweh does good to my lord, then remember your female servant.”
我主就不致因为无缘无故流人的血或亲自报仇而良心不安, 心里有愧了. 耶和华恩待了我主以后, 求你记念你的婢女. ”

25:32 Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be Yahweh the God of Israel who has sent you this day to meet me!
大卫对亚比该说: “耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的! 他今天差派你来迎接我.

25:33 And blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you who have prevented me this day from bloodguilt and from delivering myself by my own hand.
你的智慧和你的为人也是应当称赞的, 因为你今天阻止了我流人的血, 又阻止了我亲手报仇.

25:34 But as Yahweh lives, the God of Israel who has prevented me from harming you, if you had not hurried and come to meet me, surely there would not have been one male left alive for Nabal by the light of morning!”
我指着那拦阻了我加害你的永活的耶和华以色列的神起誓, 如果你不及时来迎见我, 到明天早晨, 拿八所有的男丁必不留一个. ”

25:35 Then David took from her hand what she had brought for him, and he said to her, “Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to your voice, and I have granted your request.”
大卫从亚比该手中接受了她带来给他的东西, 就对她说: “你平平安安回家去吧! 你看, 我已经听了你的话, 也答应了你的请求. ”

25:36 Then Abigail went to Nabal, and look, he was holding a feast in his house like the feast of the king. Nabal was enjoying himself, and he was very drunk, so she did not tell him a thing, nothing at all, until the light of morning.
亚比该到了拿八那里, 他正在家中摆设筵席, 好像帝王的筵席一样. 拿八心里畅快, 喝得烂醉如泥, 所以无论大事小事亚比该都没有告诉他, 直到第二天早晨.

25:37 And then in the morning when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these words. Then his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
到了早晨, 拿八酒醒了, 他的妻子才把这些事告诉他, 他就吓得魂不附体, 立刻中风瘫痪了.

25:38 And then, about ten days later, Yahweh struck Nabal and he died.
大约过了十天, 耶和华击打拿八, 他就死了.

25:39 When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, “Blessed be Yahweh who has vindicated the case of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and he has kept back his servant from evil; but Yahweh has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke with Abigail to take her for his wife.
大卫听见拿八死了, 就说: “耶和华是应当称颂的, 因为他为我伸了拿八羞辱我的冤, 又阻止了仆人行恶, 也使拿八的恶归到他自己的头上. ”于是大卫派人去对亚比该说要娶她作他的妻子.

25:40 So the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you for his wife.”
大卫的仆人到了迦密去见亚比该, 对她说: “大卫差派我们到你这里来, 要娶你作他的妻子. ”

25:41 She got up and bowed down with her face to the ground and said, “Here is your female servant, as a slave to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
亚比该就起来, 面伏于地叩拜, 说: “婢女愿意作女仆, 洗我主人的脚! ”

25:42 Then Abigail quickly got up and rode on the donkey, along with five of her maidservants who attended her, and she went after the messengers of David and became his wife.
亚比该急忙起来, 骑上驴, 带着五个跟随她的女仆, 跟从大卫的使者去了, 就作了大卫的妻子.

25:43 David had also taken Ahinoam from Jezreel, and both of them became his wives.
大卫先娶了耶斯列人亚希暖, 她们二人都作了他的妻子.

25:44 (Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.)
扫罗已经把他的女儿米甲, 就是大卫的妻子, 赐给了迦琳人拉亿的儿子帕提作妻子.

I Samuel - Chapter 26

26:1 The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah opposite Jeshimon?”
西弗人基比亚来见扫罗, 说: “大卫不是在旷野前面的哈基拉山中躲藏起来吗? ”

26:2 Then Saul got up and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, and three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
扫罗就动身, 下到西弗旷野去, 跟随他的有三千以色列精兵, 要在西弗的旷野寻索大卫.

26:3 Now Saul was on the hill of Hakilah, which is opposite Jeshimon by the road, but David was staying in the wilderness. When he realized that Saul had come to the wilderness after him,
那时, 扫罗在旷野前面的哈基拉山的路旁安营, 大卫仍然住在旷野. 大卫看见扫罗来到旷野追寻他,

26:4 David sent spies, and he learned that Saul had come for certain.
就派出探子, 知道扫罗已经到了纳康.

26:5 Then David got up and came to the place where Saul had encamped, and David saw the place where Saul was lying down, as well as Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. (Now Saul was lying in the encampment, and the army was encamping around him.)
大卫起来, 来到扫罗安营的地方, 看见扫罗和他的元帅, 尼珥的儿子押尼珥睡卧的地方. 扫罗睡在军营的中央, 众人都在他的周围安营.

26:6 David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah the brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul, in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
大卫问赫人亚希米勒和洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛, 说: “谁愿与我一起下到扫罗的营里去呢? ”亚比筛回答: “我愿与你一起下去. ”

26:7 So David and Abishai came to the army by night, and there was Saul lying asleep in the encampment with his spear thrust into the ground near his head, and Abner and the army were lying all around him.
于是大卫和亚比筛趁着夜里到了众军那里. 扫罗正躺在军营的中央睡着了, 他的矛插在头旁的地上; 押尼珥和众军都躺在他的周围.

26:8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has handed over your enemy into your hand today! So then, please let me pin him to the ground with the spear one time, and I will not strike him twice.”
亚比筛对大卫说: “今天神把你的仇敌交在你手里了. 现在求你容我用矛把他刺透在地上, 一刺就够, 不必再刺. ”

26:9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him! For who has stretched out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed one and remained blameless?”
大卫却对亚比筛说: “不可杀死他, 因为有谁伸手伤害耶和华的受膏者而无罪呢? ”

26:10 And David said, “As Yahweh lives, certainly Yahweh will strike him, or his day will come and he will die, or he will go down in the battle and perish.
大卫说: “我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 他或被耶和华击打, 或死期到了, 或下到战场阵亡了,

26:11 Yahweh forbid me from stretching out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed one! So then, please take the spear that is near his head and the jar of water, and let us go.”
我在耶和华面前, 绝对不敢伸手伤害耶和华的受膏者. 现在, 你可以把扫罗头旁的矛和水袋拿来, 我们就走吧! ”

26:12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from near Saul’s head, and they went away. No one saw, no one knew, and no one awakened, for all of them were sleeping because a deep sleep of Yahweh had fallen upon them.
于是大卫从扫罗的头旁拿了矛和水袋, 他们二人就走了. 没有人看见, 没有人知道, 也没有人醒来. 他们都睡着了, 因为耶和华使他们沉睡.

26:13 Then David went to the other side and stood on the top of the hill at a distance; the distance was great between them.
然后大卫过到另一边去, 远远地站在山顶上, 两者之间的距离很远.

26:14 David called out to the army and to Abner the son of Ner, “Will you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answered and said, “Who are you that you call to the king?”
大卫呼叫众人和尼珥的儿子押尼珥说: “押尼珥啊, 你不答话吗? ”押尼珥回答说: “你是谁, 竟敢呼叫王? ”

26:15 So David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why did you not keep watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came to destroy your lord the king.
大卫对押尼珥说: “你不是一个男子汉吗? 以色列人中有谁能与你相比呢? 众民中有一个人来要杀害王你的主, 你为什么没有保护王你的主呢?

26:16 This thing that you have done is not good. As Yahweh lives, surely you people deserve to die since you have not kept watch over your lord, over Yahweh’s anointed one! So then, see where the king’s spear is and the jar of water that was near his head!”
你所作的这事不好. 我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 你们都是该死的, 因为你们没有保护你的主, 就是耶和华的受膏者. 现在你看看王头旁的矛和水袋在哪里? ”

26:17 Then Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.”
扫罗认出是大卫的声音, 就说: “我儿大卫啊! 这是你的声音吗? ”大卫说: “我主我王啊! 是我的声音. ”

26:18 Then he said, “Why is my lord pursuing after his servant? For what have I done? And what evil is in my hand?
又说: “我主为什么这样追赶仆人呢? 我作了什么? 我手里犯了什么过错?

26:19 And so then, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant: If Yahweh has incited you against me, may he delight in an offering; but if it is mortals, may they be accursed before Yahweh, for they have driven me away today from sharing in the inheritance of Yahweh, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’
现在求我主我王听你仆人的话. 如果是耶和华激动你攻击我, 愿耶和华收纳祭物; 如果是人激动你, 愿他们在耶和华面前受咒诅, 因为他们今天把我赶出来, 不容我在耶和华的产业上有分, 说: ‘你去服事别的神吧! ’

26:20 And so then, do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of Yahweh, for the king of Israel has gone out to seek a single flea, as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
现在, 求王不要让我的血流在远离耶和华的地上, 因为以色列王出来寻索我的性命, 就像人在山中猎取一只鹧鸪一样. ”

26:21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned! Come back, David my son, for I will not harm you again, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have acted like a fool and have made a terrible mistake.”
扫罗说: “我有罪了, 我儿大卫啊, 你回来吧! 因为今天你看我的命为宝贵, 我必不再害你. 看哪! 我作了糊涂事了, 并且错得很厉害. ”

26:22 David answered and said, “Here is the king’s spear; let one of the young men come over and take it.
大卫回答说: “看哪! 王的矛在这里, 可以叫一个仆人过来拿去.

26:23 Yahweh repays to each one his righteousness and his faithfulness, for Yahweh gave you into my hand today, but I was not willing to stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed.
耶和华必按着各人的公义和信实报答他; 今天耶和华把你交在我手里, 我却不愿伸手伤害耶和华的受膏者.

26:24 Look, as your life was precious in my eyes this day, may my life be great in the eyes of Yahweh, and may he rescue me from all trouble.”
看哪, 我今天怎样看重你的命, 愿耶和华也怎样看重我的命, 并且救我脱离一切患难. ”

26:25 Then Saul said to David, “Blessed are you, my son David; you will not only do many things, but also will always succeed!” Then David went on his way and Saul returned to his place.
扫罗对大卫说: “我儿大卫啊, 愿你得福, 你必作成你所要作的, 也必得胜. ”于是大卫离去了, 扫罗也回自己的地方去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 27

27:1 Then David thought to himself, “Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me but that I must certainly escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will desist from searching for me further in all of the territories of Israel, and so I will escape from his hand.”
大卫心里说: “总有一天, 我会死在扫罗的手里, 我倒不如逃奔到非利士人的国土, 扫罗对我就会死心, 不再在以色列全境寻索我, 我就可以逃脱他的手了. ”

27:2 So David got up and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
于是大卫起来, 和跟随他的六百人都越过边界, 到迦特王玛俄的儿子亚吉那里去.

27:3 David settled with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each with his household. David took along his two wives Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
大卫和跟随他的人, 以及他们各人的家眷, 都与亚吉一同住在迦特. 大卫的两个妻子, 就是耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻子的迦密人亚比该也都住在那里.

27:4 And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
有人告诉扫罗, 大卫已经逃到迦特去了, 扫罗就不再寻索他了.

27:5 Then David said to Achish, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, then let them give me a place in one of the country towns that I can live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
大卫对亚吉说: “我若是在你眼前蒙恩, 求你在这地的城市中, 给我一个地方, 让我住在那里. 为什么要你的仆人与你一同住在王城呢? ”

27:6 So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day. (Therefore, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this day.)
那天, 亚吉就把洗革拉赐给大卫, 因此, 洗革拉直到今日还是属犹大王的.

27:7 The number of days that David lived in the countryside of the Philistines was one year and four months.
大卫在非利士人的乡镇居住的日子, 共有一年零四个月.

27:8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites, for they had been living in the land for a long time in the direction of Shur and as far as the land of Egypt.
大卫和跟随他的人上去袭击基述人,基色人和亚玛力人, 这些人自古以来就是这地的居民, 居于书珥到埃及地之间.

27:9 So David struck the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive; he took the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.
大卫攻打那地, 无论男女, 都不让一人存活, 又掳走了牛,羊,驴子,骆驼和衣服, 然后回来, 到亚吉那里去.

27:10 And Achish said, “Against whom have you raided today?” David said, “Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites.”
亚吉问: “你们今天袭击了什么地方呢? ”大卫回答: “我们袭击了犹大的南方, 耶拉蔑的南部, 和基尼的南方. ”

27:11 And David did not leave alive a man or a woman to bring them back to Gath, thinking, “So that they will not report about us, saying, ‘David did thus and so.’ ” Thus was his practice all the days that he lived in the countryside of the Philistines.
无论男女, 大卫都不让一人活着带到迦特来, 他说: “恐怕他们把我们的事告诉别人, 说: ‘大卫作了这样的事, 他住在非利士人乡镇的日子, 常常这样作. ’”

27:12 And Achish trusted David, saying, “He has made himself utterly hated among his people in Israel, and he will be my servant forever.”
亚吉相信了大卫, 心里说: “他在自己的族人以色列中留下了臭名, 他必永远作我的仆人了. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 28

28:1 Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war to fight against Israel. So Achish said to David, “Certainly you realize that you must go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
那时, 非利士人聚集他们的军队, 要与以色列人争战. 亚吉对大卫说: “你要清楚知道, 你和跟随你的人都要在军队中与我一同出征. ”

28:2 David said to Achish, “Very well, you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
大卫回答亚吉说: “仆人所能作的事你都知道. ”于是亚吉对大卫说: “好吧, 我要立你永远作我的护卫长. ”

28:3 (Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him, and they had buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had expelled the mediums and the soothsayers from the land.)
那时, 撒母耳死了, 以色列众人都为他哀哭, 把他埋葬在拉玛他自己的城里. 扫罗曾经把交鬼的和行巫术的, 都从国中除去了.

28:4 Then the Philistines assembled and came and encamped at Shunem, so Saul assembled all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa.
非利士人聚集起来, 来到书念安营; 扫罗也聚集以色列众人, 在基利波安营.

28:5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly.
扫罗看见了非利士人的军队, 就惧怕, 他的心大大发抖.

28:6 And Saul inquired of Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him, not by dreams or by the Urim or by the prophets.
扫罗求问耶和华, 耶和华却没有借着梦, 或乌陵, 或先知回答他.

28:7 So Saul said to his servants, “Search for me a woman who is a medium so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Look there is a woman who is a medium in Endor.”
于是扫罗对他的臣仆说: “你们要为我寻找一个能交鬼的女人, 我好去求问她. ”他的臣仆回答他说: “在隐．多珥有一个能交鬼的女人. ”

28:8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went with two of his men. And they came to the woman by night and he said, “Please consult a spirit for me through the ritual pit, and bring up for me the one whom I tell you.”
于是扫罗改装易服, 带着两个人与他一同去了. 他们夜里到了那女人那里. 扫罗说: “请你用交鬼的法术, 把我所告诉你的那人为我招上来. ”

28:9 But the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul did, how he exterminated the mediums and the soothsayers from the land! Why are you setting a trap for my life to kill me?”
那女人回答他: “你是知道扫罗所作的, 他已经把交鬼的和行巫术的, 都从国中剪除了, 你为什么要陷害我的命, 使我死呢? ”

28:10 Then Saul swore to her by Yahweh, “As Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for this thing.”
扫罗指着耶和华起誓说: “我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 你必不因这事受惩罚. ”

28:11 So the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” He said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”
那女人问: “我要为你招谁上来呢? ”扫罗回答: “为我招撒母耳上来. ”

28:12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and the woman said to Saul, “Why did you deceive me? You are Saul!”
那女人看见了撒母耳, 就大声呼叫. 那女人对扫罗说: “你为什么欺骗我? 你就是扫罗! ”

28:13 The king said to her, “Do not be afraid! What do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up from the ground!”
王对她说: “不要惧怕. 你看见了什么? ”那女人回答扫罗: “我看见有神灵从地里上来. ”

28:14 Then he said to her, “What is his appearance?” She said, “An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.” Then Saul realized that it was Samuel, and he knelt with his face to the ground and bowed down.
扫罗问她: “他的容貌怎样? ”她回答: “上来的是一个身披外袍的老人. ”扫罗知道那人是撒母耳, 就脸伏于地向他叩拜.

28:15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul said, “I am in distress! For the Philistines are about to make war against me, but God has turned away from me, and he does not answer me any more, not by the prophets or by the dreams. So I called to you to let me know what I should do.”
撒母耳对扫罗说: “你为什么搅扰我, 把我招上来呢? ”扫罗说: “我非常苦恼, 非利士人正在攻打我, 神又离开了我, 不再借着先知或异梦回答我. 所以我请你上来, 指示我应该怎样行. ”

28:16 Then Samuel said, “Why do you ask me, since Yahweh has turned away from you and has become your enemy?
撒母耳说: “耶和华既然离开了你, 又成了你的敌人, 你为什么还问我呢?

28:17 Yahweh has done to you just as he spoke by my hand! Yahweh has torn the kingdom from your hand and has given it to your neighbor, to David.
耶和华已经照着他借我所说的话行了, 他把王国从你手中夺去, 赐给别人, 就是大卫.

28:18 Because you did not obey Yahweh and did not carry out the fierce anger of his wrath against Amalek, therefore Yahweh has done this thing to you today.
因为你没有听从耶和华的话, 没有执行他对亚玛力人所怀的烈怒, 所以今天耶和华向你行了这样的事,

28:19 And Yahweh will also give Israel with you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me, and Yahweh will also give the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
并且耶和华必把以色列和你一起都交在非利士人手里; 明天你和你的儿子们都要和我一起了. 耶和华必把以色列的军队交在非利士人手里. ”

28:20 Then Saul immediately fell prostrate to the ground, and he was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; there was no more strength in him, for he had not eaten food all day and all night.
扫罗立刻全身仆倒在地上, 他因撒母耳的话, 非常惧怕, 又因为他已经一日一夜没有吃饭, 所以一点气力也没有.

28:21 Then the woman came to Saul and realized that he was absolutely terrified, so she said to him, “Look, your female servant has obeyed you, and I have risked my life. I have listened to your words that you have spoken to me.
那女人来到扫罗面前, 见他非常惊慌, 就对他说: “你看, 婢女听从了你的话; 我冒着生命危险, 听从了你对我所说的话.

28:22 So then, you also please listen to the voice of your female servant, and let me set before you a morsel of bread, and you eat so that you will have strength in you when you go on your way.”
现在求你也听从婢女的话, 允许我在你面前摆上一点食物. 你吃了, 身体就有气力, 可以走路. ”

28:23 But he refused and said, “I will not eat!” However, his servants urged him, and the woman also. So he listened to what they said, and he got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
扫罗不肯, 说: “我不吃. ”可是他的臣仆和那女人再三劝他, 他才听从了他们的话, 从地上起来, 坐在床上.

28:24 Now the woman had a fattened bull calf in the house, so she quickly slaughtered it and took flour, kneaded dough, and baked him some unleavened bread.
那女人的家里有一头肥牛犊, 她急忙把它宰了, 又拿点面粉, 搓好了, 烤成无酵饼,

28:25 She brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they got up and went away that very night.
送到扫罗和他臣仆的面前; 他们吃了以后, 当夜就起身离去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 29

29:1 Now the Philistines assembled all their forces at Aphek, and Israel was encamped at the spring that is in Jezreel.
非利士人把他们所有的军队都聚集在亚弗, 以色列人却在耶斯列的泉旁安营.

29:2 The rulers of the Philistines were passing on according to hundreds and thousands, David and his men passing on at the rear with Achish.
非利士人的首领各率领百人或千人前进; 大卫和跟随他的人也跟在亚吉的后面前进.

29:3 Then the commanders of the Philistines said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, “Is this not David, the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, who has been with me for days and years? I have not found anything threatening in him from the day of his desertion until this day!”
非利士人的领袖说: “这些希伯来人在这里作什么? ”亚吉对非利士人的领袖说: “这人不是以色列王扫罗的臣仆大卫吗? 他已经在我这里有好些年日了. 自从他降服我的一天, 直到今日, 我未曾发现他有什么过错. ”

29:4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him and they said to him, “Send the man back so that he might return to his place where you have assigned him! But he will not go down with us into the battle, so that he does not become an adversary to us in the battle. By what could this fellow make himself favorable to his lord? Is it not with the heads of these men?
非利士人的领袖向亚吉发怒, 对他说: “你叫这人回去, 好让他回到你为他安排的地方去. 他不可与我们一同下战场, 免得他在战场上成为我们的对头. 这人可用什么去得他主人的欢心呢? 岂不是用我们这些人的头吗?

29:5 Is this not David about whom they sing in the dances, saying, ‘Saul has killed his thousands, but David his ten thousands’?”
这人不就是大卫吗? 从前以色列的妇女向他歌唱跳舞说: ‘扫罗杀死千千, 大卫杀死万万! ’”

29:6 So Achish called David and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, certainly you were honest, and I am pleased to have you marching with me in the campaign. For I have not found any wrong in you from the day you came to me until this day, but in the eyes of the rulers, you are not good.
亚吉把大卫叫来, 对他说: “我指着永活的耶和华说, 你是正直的人, 你与我在军中出入, 我感到很满意, 因为自从你到我这里来的那一天, 直到今日, 我未曾在你身上找到什么过失; 只是各首领不喜欢你.

29:7 So then, return and go in peace, so that you do not do something that displeases the rulers of the Philistines.”
现在, 你可以回去, 平平安安走吧! 不要行非利士人的首领看为恶的事. ”

29:8 Then David said to Achish, “But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day that I entered your service until this day, that I should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
大卫对亚吉说: “我作了什么呢? 自从我来到你面前的那一天, 直到今日, 你在仆人身上找到什么, 使我不能与我主我王的仇敌争战呢? ”

29:9 And Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are good in my eyes, like an angel of God! However, the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go up with us into the battle.’
亚吉回答大卫, 说: “我知道你在我眼中是个好人, 像神的使者一样; 只是非利士人的领袖曾经说过: ‘他不可与我们一同上战场. ’

29:10 So then, rise early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you. When you rise early in the morning and it is light enough for you, leave.
所以明天早晨, 你和跟你来的人, 就是你主人的仆人都要清早起来. 你们明天早晨都要早起, 天一亮你们就要离开. ”

29:11 So David set out early, he and his men, to leave in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines, but the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
于是大卫和跟随他的人清早起来, 一早就离开, 回到非利士人的地去. 非利士人也上耶斯列去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 30

30:1 Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. When they attacked Ziklag, they burned it with fire.
第三天, 大卫和跟随他的人到了洗革拉. 那时亚玛力人袭击了南地和洗革拉. 他们攻破了洗革拉, 又放火焚烧.

30:2 They took captive the women who were in it, from the youngest to the oldest. They did not kill anyone, but carried them off and went on their way.
他们把妇女和城里所有的人, 无论大小都掳走了. 他们没有杀人, 都带着他们从原路回去了.

30:3 When David and his men came to the city, they saw, and it was burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.
大卫和跟随他的人到了那城, 看见城已经被火烧毁, 他们的妻子,儿女都被掳走了,

30:4 Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until there was not enough strength in them to weep.
就放声大哭, 直哭到没有力气再哭.

30:5 Two of David’s wives had been taken captive. Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
大卫的两个妻子, 耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻子的迦密人亚比该, 也都被掳去了.

30:6 And David was in a very precarious situation, for the people spoke of stoning him, for the souls of all the people were bitter, each one over his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.
大卫处境非常困难, 因为众人都为自己的儿女心中苦恼, 说要用石头打死大卫; 但大卫靠着耶和华他的神坚强起来.

30:7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here for me.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
大卫对亚希米勒的儿子,亚比亚他祭司说: “请你把以弗得带到我这里来. ”亚比亚他就把以弗得带到大卫那里去.

30:8 And David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Should I pursue after this band of raiders? Will I overtake them?” He said to him, “Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will certainly rescue them.”
大卫求问耶和华说: “我可以追赶这群匪徒吗? 我可以追上他们吗? ”耶和华回答他: “你可以追赶, 你必定追上, 也必定把一切救回来. ”

30:9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the Wadi Besor, but the rest remained.
于是大卫和跟随他的六百人出发. 他们到了比梭溪, 有些跟不上的就留在那里.

30:10 David pursued, he and four hundred men; but two hundred men stayed because they were too exhausted to pass over the Wadi Besor.
有二百人太疲乏, 不能渡过比梭溪, 就留在那里, 大卫和四百人继续追赶.

30:11 Then they found an Egyptian man in the open country and brought him to David, and they gave him food and he ate; they also gave him water.
他们在田野里遇见一个埃及人, 就把他带到大卫那里. 他们给他饭吃, 又给他水喝.

30:12 They gave him a slice of fig cake and two raisin cakes; he ate and this revived him, because he had not eaten food or drunk water for three days and three nights.
又给他一块无花果饼, 两个葡萄饼. 他吃了, 精神就恢复过来, 因为他已经三天三夜没有吃东西, 没有喝水了.

30:13 Then David said to him, “To whom do you belong, and from where are you? The young man said, “I am an Egyptian young man, a servant of an Amalekite man, but my master abandoned me because I became ill three days ago.
大卫问他: “你是属谁的? 你从哪里来? ”他回答: “我是个埃及的青年人, 是亚玛力人的奴仆. 因为我三天前病了, 我的主人就把我丢弃了.

30:14 We raided the Negev of the Kerethites and that which belongs to Judah and then the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
我们侵袭了基利提的南方和属犹大地的南方, 以及迦勒地的南方, 又用火烧了洗革拉. ”

30:15 So David asked him, “Will you take me down to this band of raiders?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and that you will not deliver me into my master’s hand! Then I will take you down to this band.”
大卫对他说: “你愿意带我下到那一群匪徒那里吗? ”他回答: “如果你指着神向我起誓, 不杀死我, 也不把我交在我主人手里, 我就带你下到那一群匪徒那里去. ”

30:16 So he took him down, and there they were, spread out over the surface of all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all of the abundant plunder which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
他带大卫下去. 匪徒们都分散在各处, 正在吃喝,跳舞, 因为他们从非利士地和犹大地抢来的战利品很多.

30:17 Then David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled.
大卫击杀他们, 从黄昏直到次日的晚上. 除了四百个骑骆驼的年轻人逃跑了以外, 他们当中一个人也没有逃脱.

30:18 So David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; David also rescued his two wives.
亚玛力人抢去的一切, 大卫都救回来了, 也救回了他的两个妻子.

30:19 None of theirs was missing from the smallest to the greatest, even sons and daughters, from the plunder up to everything they had taken for themselves; David brought back everything.
无论大小, 不分男女, 无论是他们抢来的, 或是被人掳去的, 大卫都夺回来, 没有失落一样.

30:20 And David took all of the sheep, and the cattle they drove along in front of that livestock, and they said, “This is David’s plunder.”
大卫夺了所有的羊群和牛群, 跟从大卫的人把它们赶到原有的群畜面前, 说: “这是大卫的战利品. ”

30:21 Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David; they had left them behind at the Wadi Besor. They went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. David came near with the people and asked them how they were doing.
大卫来到那二百人那里, 那些人因太疲乏不能跟随大卫去, 而留在比梭溪旁; 他们出来迎接大卫和跟随他的众人. 大卫接近众人的时候, 就向他们问安.

30:22 Then all the corrupt and useless men among the men who went with David reacted and said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything from the plunder which we recovered, except each man may take his own wife and children. They must take them along and go!”
与大卫一起去的那些人中, 有些恶人和流氓说: “他们没有和我们一起去, 我们就不把夺回来的战利品分给他们, 只把他们各人的妻子和儿子还给他们, 让他们领回去就是了. ”

30:23 But David said to them, “You should not do so, my brothers, with what Yahweh has given to us! He has preserved us and has given the raiding band that came against us into our hand.
大卫说: “兄弟们, 耶和华赐给我们的, 你们不可以这样作. 他保护了我们, 又把那些攻击我们的匪徒交在我们手里.

30:24 And who would listen to you regarding this matter? For as the share of the one who went down into the battle, so the share of the one who remained with the baggage will be. They will share alike.”
这事谁要听从你们呢? 下战场的得多少, 留守武器的也得多少, 应当大家平分. ”

30:25 So from that day and beyond, he made it a rule and a regulation for Israel until this day.
从那天起, 大卫定此为以色列的律例典章, 直到今日.

30:26 Then David came to Ziklag, and he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the enemies of Yahweh!”
大卫到了洗革拉, 就从战利品中取一部分送给他的朋友,犹大的长老, 说: “看哪, 这是从耶和华的仇敌那里得来的战利品, 送给你们作礼物. ”

30:27 It was for those in Bethel, for those in Ramoth of the Negev, for those in Jattir,
他送礼物给在伯特利的,在南地拉末的,在雅提珥的,

30:28 for those in Aroer, for those in Siphmoth, for those in Eshtemoa,
在亚罗珥的,在息末的,在以实提莫的,

30:29 for those in Racal, for those in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, for those in the towns of the Kenites,
在拉哈勒的,在耶拉蔑各城的,在基尼各城的,

30:30 for those in Hormah, for those in Bor Ashan, for those in Athach,
在何珥玛的,在歌拉珊的,在亚挞的,

30:31 for those in Hebron, and for all the places where David and his men had roamed.
在希伯仑的人, 又送给一切大卫及其跟随者所到过之地的人.

I Samuel - Chapter 31

31:1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and they fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
非利士人与以色列人交战. 以色列人从非利士人面前逃跑, 有很多人在基利波山上倒毙.

31:2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malki-Shua, the sons of Saul.
非利士人紧紧追赶扫罗和他的众子, 击杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单,亚比拿达和麦基舒亚.

31:3 Saul was in the thick of the battle, and the archers spotted him, and he was badly wounded by the archers.
战争激烈, 扫罗受到猛烈的攻击, 弓箭手发现了他, 射箭的人射中了他, 他的伤势严重;

31:4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, so that these uncircumcised do not come and thrust me through and make a fool of me!” But his armor bearer was not willing to do so because he was very afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
扫罗就对替他拿兵器的人说: “拔出你的刀来, 把我刺透, 免得这些未受割礼的人来把我刺透, 戏弄我. ”但替他拿兵器的人不肯这样作, 因为他非常害怕. 于是扫罗拿过刀来, 自己伏在刀上死了.

31:5 And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died with him.
替他拿兵器的人看见扫罗死了, 他也伏在自己的刀上, 与扫罗一起死了.

31:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men together that same day.
这样, 扫罗和他的三个儿子, 以及替他拿兵器的人, 还有所有跟随他的人, 都在那一天一同死了.

31:7 And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those who were beyond the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the towns and fled. Thus the Philistines came and lived in them.
在山谷那边, 和约旦河那边的以色列人, 看见以色列人逃跑, 扫罗和他的儿子都死了, 他们就弃城逃跑. 非利士人就来住在城中.

31:8 And then the next day, the Philistines came to strip the dead and they found Saul and his three sons lying dead on Mount Gilboa.
第二天, 非利士人来剥那些被杀的人的衣物的时候, 发现扫罗和他的三个儿子都倒毙在基利波山上,

31:9 So they cut off his head and stripped off his armor. Then they sent messengers around in the land of the Philistines to proclaim victory in the temples of their idols and to the people.
就砍下他的头, 解下他的兵器, 又派人到非利士地的各处, 去向他们的偶像的庙和人民报信.

31:10 And they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreth, and they fastened his corpse to the wall of Beth Shan.
他们把扫罗的兵器放在亚斯他录的庙里, 又把他的尸体钉在伯．珊的城墙上.

31:11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard about it, what the Philistines had done to Saul,
基列．雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事,

31:12 all of the valiant men set out and went all night and took the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.
所有的勇士就动身, 走了一整夜, 把扫罗的尸体和他三个儿子的尸体都从伯．珊的城墙上取下来, 带回雅比, 在那里把他们烧了,

又把他们的骸骨埋葬在雅比的垂柳树下, 并且禁食七天.

II Samuel (撒母耳记下)

II Samuel - Chapter 1

1:1 After the death of Saul, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and he stayed at Ziklag two days.
扫罗死后, 大卫杀退了亚玛力人回来, 就在洗革拉住了两天.

1:2 On the third day, a man came from the camp from being with Saul, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and bowed down.
第三天, 忽然有一个人从扫罗的营回来, 衣服撕裂, 头上蒙灰. 这人一来到大卫面前, 就俯伏在地上叩拜他.

1:3 David said to him, “Where did you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”
大卫问他: “你从哪里来? ”他对他说: “我是从以色列的营中逃出来的. ”

1:4 Then David said to him, “How did things go? Please tell me.” He answered, “When the army fled from the battle, and many of the people fell; also, Saul and Jonathan his son died.”
大卫又问他: “情况怎么样? 请你告诉我! ”他回答: “众人都逃离战场, 他们中间不但有许多人倒地阵亡, 连扫罗和他的儿子约拿单也死了. ”

1:5 Then David asked the young man who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan died?”
于是, 大卫问那向他报信的年轻人: “你怎么知道扫罗和他的儿子死了呢? ”

1:6 The young man who was reporting to him said, “I merely happened to be on Mount Gilboa. Here Saul was leaning on his spear, and look, the chariots and the horsemen were getting close to him.
那个向大卫报信的年轻人回答: “我刚巧在基利波山, 看见扫罗靠在自己的矛枪上, 又见有战车和马兵紧紧地追赶他.

1:7 When he turned around and saw me, he called to me, and I said, ‘Here I am.’
他回头看到我, 就呼唤我. 我说: ‘我在这里. ’

1:8 Then he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ And I said to him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
他问我: ‘你是谁? ’我回答他: ‘我是亚玛力人. ’

1:9 He said to me, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for convulsions have seized me, even though my life is still in me.’
于是他对我说: ‘请你站到我身边来, 把我杀死, 因为痛苦抓住我, 我却还死不了. ’

1:10 So I stood over him and killed him, for I knew that he could not live after his falling; I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm; and here, I have brought them to my lord.
我就站到他身边去, 把他杀了, 因为我知道他一倒下, 就不能再活了. 我摘下他头上的王冠, 取下他臂上的手镯, 带到这里来奉给我主. ”

1:11 David grabbed at his clothes and tore them, as did all of the men who were with him.
大卫就抓住自己的衣服, 把它们全都撕裂. 所有与他在一起的人也都是这样.

1:12 Then they mourned and wept and fasted over Saul and Jonathan his son until the evening, as well as over the people of Yahweh and over the house of Israel because they had fallen by the sword.
他们为了扫罗,他的儿子约拿单,耶和华的子民和以色列家的缘故悲哀,哭泣,禁食直到晚上, 因为他们已经倒毙在刀下.

1:13 Then David said to the young man who was reporting to him, “Where are you from?” And he said, “I am the son of an alien man. I am an Amalekite.”
大卫问那向他报信的年轻人: “你是哪里的人? ”他回答: “我是个寄居这地的亚玛力人的儿子. ”

1:14 David said to him, “How is it that you were not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy Yahweh’s anointed one?”
大卫对他说: “你伸手毁灭耶和华的受膏者, 怎么还不惧怕呢? ”

1:15 Then David called to one of the young men and said to him, “Come near; strike him.” So he struck him down and he died.
于是大卫叫了一个年轻人来, 说: “你上前去, 砍倒他. ”那年轻人击杀他, 他就死了.

1:16 David said to him, “Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you by saying, ‘I killed Yahweh’s anointed one!’ ”
大卫对他说: “你流人血的罪要归到自己的头上, 因为你亲口作证指控自己说: ‘我杀了耶和华的受膏者. ’”

1:17 Then David sang this funeral song over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
大卫为扫罗和他的儿子约拿单作了这首哀歌.

1:18 And he ordered “The Bow” to be taught to the children of Judah. Look, it is written on the scroll of Jashar.
他又吩咐要把这首“弓歌”教导犹大人. (这首歌记录在《雅煞珥书》上. )

1:19 “The glory of Israel is on your high places; how the mighty have fallen!
“以色列啊! 尊荣的人都在高处被杀, 勇士怎么都已仆倒!

1:20 Do not tell it in Gath; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
你们不要在迦特报道, 不要在亚实基伦的街上宣扬, 免得非利士的女子欢喜, 免得未受割礼之人的女子快乐.

1:21 O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you or on the fields of grain for offerings, for there the small shield of the mighty was defiled, the small shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
基利波的群山啊! 愿雨露都不降在你们上面, 愿你们的田地不产供物. 因为勇士的盾牌在那里玷污, 扫罗的盾牌没有用油抹亮.

1:22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return without effect.
不见被杀者的血,勇士的脂油, 约拿单的弓不缩回, 扫罗的剑也不空空返回.

1:23 Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives and were not separated in their death. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
扫罗和约拿单, 生时相亲相爱, 死时也不分离. 他们比鹰还快速, 比狮子更勇猛.

1:24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, the one who clothed you with crimson, the one who adorned your clothing with golden ornaments.
以色列的女子啊! 你们要为扫罗哭泣, 他曾给你们穿上紫色豪华的衣服, 又给你们的外衣加上金饰.

1:25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle; Jonathan lies slain on your high places.
勇士怎么会在战阵上倒毙, 约拿单在高处被刺死!

1:26 I am distressed over you, my brother Jonathan. you were very dear to me; your love was more wonderful to me than the love of women.
我的兄弟约拿单啊! 我为你悲痛, 你是我最好的朋友, 你对我的爱情远超过妇女的爱情.

1:27 How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of warfare perished.”
勇士怎么会倒毙! 争战的武器怎么会毁灭! ”

II Samuel - Chapter 2

2:1 It happened after this that David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah?” And Yahweh said to him, “Go up.” David asked, “Where shall I go up?” And he said, “To Hebron.”
这事以后, 大卫求问耶和华说: “我可以上犹大的一座城去吗? ”耶和华回答: “你上去吧. ”大卫又问: “我应该上到哪里去呢? ”他回答: “上希伯仑去! ”

2:2 So David went up there along with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
于是大卫带着他的两个妻子, 一个是耶斯列人亚希暖, 一个是作过迦密人拿八妻子的亚比该, 上到那里去了.

2:3 Also, David brought up his men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns of Hebron.
大卫也把与他在一起的人, 和他们各人的家眷都带上去. 他们就在希伯仑的城镇里住下来.

2:4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David there as king over the house of Judah, and they told David, “The men of Jabesh-Gilead buried Saul.”
于是犹大人来到希伯仑, 在那里膏立了大卫作王, 统治犹大家. 有人报告大卫说: “埋葬扫罗的是基列．雅比人. ”

2:5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead and said to them, “May you be blessed by Yahweh because you did this loyal love with your lord, with Saul, and you buried him.
大卫就差派使者到基列．雅比人那里去, 对他们说: “愿耶和华赐福给你们, 因为你们厚待了你们的主扫罗, 把他埋葬了.

2:6 Now may Yahweh show loyal love and faithfulness with you. I will also show the good with you that you have done in this matter.
你们既作了这事, 现在就愿耶和华以慈爱和诚实待你们, 我也要善待你们.

2:7 So then, let your hands be strong and be valiant, for your lord Saul is dead, and the house of Judah has anointed me as king over them.”
现在你们要坚强, 要作勇敢的人, 因为你们的主扫罗已经死了; 犹大家已经膏立了我作他们的王了. ”

2:8 But Abner the son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, had taken Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
当时, 扫罗的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥已经领着扫罗的儿子伊施波设, 把他带过河到玛哈念去,

2:9 He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over Israel, all of it.
并且立了他作王, 统治基列,亚书利,耶斯列,以法莲,便雅悯和以色列众人.

2:10 Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul was forty years old when he became king over Israel and he reigned two years; however, the house of Judah followed David.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设作以色列王的时候, 已经四十岁; 他作王共两年. 犹大家却追随大卫.

2:11 The number of days that David was king over Hebron, over the house of Judah, was seven years and six months.
大卫在希伯仑作王统治犹大家的时候共有七年零六个月.

2:12 Abner the son of Ner and the servants of Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
尼珥的儿子押尼珥带着扫罗的儿子伊施波设的仆从, 离开玛哈念, 到基遍去.

2:13 Then Joab the son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out, and they met at the pool of Gibeon. The one group sat on one side of the pool, and the other sat on the other side.
洗鲁雅的儿子约押和大卫的臣仆也出来, 在基遍的水池旁边与他们会面. 大家都坐下, 一队在水池这边, 一队在水池那边.

2:14 Abner said to Joab, “Let the young men come up and fight in our presence.” And Joab said, “Let them come up.”
押尼珥对约押说: “让年轻人起来, 在我们面前比比武. ”约押说: “好! 叫他们起来. ”

2:15 So they came forward and passed by in number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David.
他们就起来, 按着人数走过去: 属便雅悯, 就是属扫罗的儿子伊施波设的, 有十二人; 属大卫臣仆的也有十二人.

2:16 Then each seized his opponent by the head and each thrust his sword in the side of his opponent, so they fell together. So they called the name of that place Helkath Hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
他们各人都紧紧抓住对手的头, 用刀刺进对手的肋旁, 于是他们全都倒毙. 所以在基遍那地方就叫作希利甲．哈素林.

2:17 Then the battle became increasingly fierce on that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
那天的战事非常激烈, 结果押尼珥和以色列人败在大卫的臣仆面前.

2:18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift with his feet as one of the gazelles which is in the open field.
洗鲁雅的三个儿子约押,亚比筛和亚撒黑都在那里. 亚撒黑的腿轻快如野地的羚羊一般.

2:19 So Asahel pursued Abner, and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left from going after Abner.
亚撒黑追赶押尼珥, 紧紧地跟着他, 不偏左, 也不偏右.

2:20 Abner turned around and said, “Are you this Asahel?” And he said, “Yes.”
押尼珥往后瞧着, 说: “你是亚撒黑吗? ”他回答: “我正是. ”

2:21 Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right or to your left; seize for yourself one of the young men, and take his belongings for yourself.” But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from him.
押尼珥对他说: “你或转左或转右, 抓住一个年轻人, 夺去他的武器吧! ”可是亚撒黑不愿意离开不追赶他.

2:22 So Abner said to Asahel once again, “For your own sake, turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you down to the ground? How could I show my face to Joab your brother?”
押尼珥再一次对亚撒黑说: “你离开, 别追赶我! 我为什么要把你砍倒在地上呢? 以后怎么还有脸见你的哥哥约押呢? ”

2:23 But he refused to turn away, so Abner struck him in the stomach with the butt of the spear, and the spear went out of his back. He fell there and he died on the spot. Then all who came to the place where Asahel fell and died just stood there.
亚撒黑不肯离开, 所以押尼珥就用枪的尾端刺入了他的肚子, 枪从他的背后穿出. 亚撒黑仆倒在那里, 当场死了. 所有来到亚撒黑倒毙的地方的人, 都站住不动.

2:24 So Joab and Abishai pursued Abner when the sun went down. And they came to the hill country of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
约押和亚比筛却继续追赶押尼珥. 日落的时候, 他们来到亚玛山, 就在通往基遍旷野的路旁, 基亚的对面.

2:25 The descendants of Benjamin rallied after Abner, and they became as one fighting group and stood on the top of a certain hill.
便雅悯人集结在押尼珥后面, 站在一座山头上, 列成一个队伍.

2:26 Then Abner called to Joab and said, “Will the sword devour forever? Do you not know that there will be bitterness in the end? How long will you not tell the people to turn away from pursuing their brothers?”
押尼珥对约押喊叫, 说: “刀剑要不停地杀人吗? 你不知道结局是痛苦的吗? 你要等到什么时候才吩咐人民转去, 不追赶自己的兄弟呢? ”

2:27 Joab said, “As God lives, for if you had not spoken, the people would surely have gone up in the morning, each one of them from following after his brother.”
约押说: “我指着永活的神起誓, 如果你们没有说过比武的话, 大家必在早晨的时候离去, 不再追赶自己的兄弟. ”

2:28 Then Joab blew on the trumpet and all the people stopped, and they no longer pursued after Israel, and they did not fight with them again.
于是约押吹响号角, 众人就站住, 不再追赶以色列人, 也不再打仗了.

2:29 Then Abner and his men went through the Arabah all that night, and they crossed over the Jordan. They went all the forenoon and came to Mahanaim.
押尼珥和属他的人, 整夜走过亚拉巴, 渡过约旦河, 又走过毕伦, 才回到玛哈念.

2:30 After Joab returned from pursuing Abner, he gathered all the people; nineteen of the servants of David were missing along with Asahel.
约押追赶押尼珥回来, 集合所有人的时候, 发现在大卫的臣仆中, 除了亚撒黑以外, 还少了十九个人.

2:31 The servants of David had killed some of the Benjaminites among the men of Abner; three hundred and sixty men had died.
但大卫的臣仆击杀便雅悯人和跟随押尼珥的人, 共有三百六十人死了.

2:32 Then they picked up Asahel and buried him in the grave of his father, which was at Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all that night arriving in Hebron at first light.
他们把亚撒黑抬回去, 埋葬在伯利恒他父亲的坟墓里. 约押和属他的人走了一整夜, 天亮的时候才回到希伯仑.

II Samuel - Chapter 3

3:1 The battle was prolonged between the house of Saul and the house of David, but David was growing stronger and stronger while the house of Saul was becoming weaker and weaker.
扫罗家和大卫家之间的战争相持很久. 大卫家逐渐兴盛, 扫罗家却日趋衰微.

3:2 And sons were born to David in Hebron; his firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam from Jezreel.
大卫在希伯仑生了几个儿子: 他的长子暗嫩, 是耶斯列人亚希暖所生的.

3:3 His second was Kileab by Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; the third was Absalom the son of Maacah, who was the daughter of Talmai the king of Geshur.
次子基利押, 是作过迦密人拿八的妻子亚比该所生的. 三子押沙龙, 是基述王达买的女儿玛迦所生的.

3:4 The fourth was Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth was Shephatiah the son of Abital.
四子亚多尼雅, 是哈及所生的. 五子示法提雅, 是亚比他所生的.

3:5 The sixth was Ithream by Eglah the wife of David. These were born to David in Hebron.
六子以特念, 是大卫妻子以格拉所生的. 这些儿子都是大卫在希伯仑所生的.

3:6 As the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was continuing, Abner was strengthening himself in the house of Saul.
当扫罗家和大卫家交战的时候, 押尼珥在扫罗家的权势日渐强大.

3:7 Saul had had a concubine, and her name was Rizpah the daughter of Aiah. Then Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, “Why did you have sex with my father’s concubine?”
扫罗有一个妃子, 名叫利斯巴, 是爱亚的女儿. 伊施波设对押尼珥说: “你为什么亲近我父亲的妃子呢? ”

3:8 Abner became very angry at the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he said, “Am I the head of a dog which is for Judah today? Do I not continue to show loyal love with the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends? I have not let you fall into the hands of David, yet you have accused me of sin with this woman today.
押尼珥因伊施波设的话非常忿怒, 说: “我是犹大的狗头吗? 今天我厚待你的父亲扫罗家,他的兄弟和他的朋友, 没有把你交在大卫的手中; 可是, 今天你竟为了这女人的事来找我的错!

3:9 Thus may God punish Abner, if I do not accomplish what Yahweh has sworn to David;
我若不按着耶和华向大卫所起誓应许的去行: 废去扫罗家的王国, 建立大卫的王位, 使他统治以色列和犹大, 从但直到别是巴, 愿神降罚押尼珥, 重重地降罚他. ”

3:10 specifically, to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah from Dan to Beersheba!”
我若不按着耶和华向大卫所起誓应许的去行: 废去扫罗家的王国, 建立大卫的王位, 使他统治以色列和犹大, 从但直到别是巴, 愿神降罚押尼珥, 重重地降罚他. ”

3:11 And Ish-Bosheth was no longer able to answer Abner because he feared him.
伊施波设因为惧怕押尼珥, 就连一句话也不敢回答他.

3:12 Abner sent messengers to David where he was, saying, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me! Look, my hand is with you to bring all of Israel over to you!”
押尼珥差派使者代表他去见大卫, 说: “这地是属谁的呢? ”又说: “你与我立约, 我就必帮助你, 使全以色列都归顺你. ”

3:13 He said, “Good. I will make a covenant with you. I am asking only one thing from you: You shall not see my face unless you bring Michal the daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”
大卫说: “好! 我与你立约. 不过, 我要求你一件事: 你来见我面的时候, 首先要把扫罗的女儿米甲带来, 否则你必不得见我的面. ”

3:14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul, saying, “Give me my wife Michal whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
后来, 大卫差派使者去见扫罗的儿子伊施波设, 说: “请你把我的妻子米甲还给我, 她是我从前用一百个非利士人的包皮聘下的. ”

3:15 So Ish-Bosheth sent and took her from her husband, from Paltiel the son of Laish.
于是伊施波设派人去, 把米甲从拉亿的儿子她丈夫帕铁那里接回来.

3:16 But her husband went with her, weeping all along after her as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go and return.” So he returned.
米甲的丈夫与她一起去, 跟在她后面, 一边走,一边哭, 一直跟到巴户琳. 押尼珥对他说: “你去吧! 回去吧! ”他只好回去了.

3:17 The word of Abner came to the elders of Israel, saying, “For quite some time you were seeking David as king over you.
押尼珥与以色列的长老商议说: “从前你们希望大卫作你们的王.

3:18 So then, bring it about, because Yahweh had said to David, “Through the hand of David my servant I am about to save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.”
现在可以实现了! 因为耶和华曾经论到大卫说: ‘我要借着我的仆人大卫的手, 把我的子民以色列从非利士人和他们所有敌人的手中拯救出来. ’”

3:19 Abner also spoke privately to Benjamin. Abner also went to speak to David in Hebron, all that was good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.
押尼珥也把这话说给便雅悯人听, 然后又去希伯仑, 把以色列人和便雅悯全都同意的一切事说给大卫听.

3:20 Then Abner came to David in Hebron and with him were twenty men. David had prepared a feast for Abner and for the men who were with him.
押尼珥带着二十个人, 来到希伯仑见大卫的时候, 大卫就为押尼珥和与他同来的人摆设筵席.

3:21 And Abner said to David, “Let me get up and go and gather all of Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you so you can reign over all which your soul desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he left in peace.
后来, 押尼珥对大卫说: “让我去把以色列众人召集到我主我王这里来, 好叫他们与你立约, 这样你就可以照着自己的心愿统治所有的人. ”于是大卫打发押尼珥回去, 他就平平安安地走了.

3:22 And look, the servants of David and Joab came from the raid, and they brought much plunder with them. But Abner was not with David at Hebron, for he had dismissed him, and he had gone in peace.
那时, 大卫的臣仆和约押攻击敌人回来, 带回许多的战利品. 当时, 押尼珥不在希伯仑大卫那里, 因为大卫已经打发他离去, 他也平平安安地走了.

3:23 When Joab and all the army that was with him came, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he left in peace.”
约押和跟随他的全军一到达, 就有人告诉约押, 尼珥的儿子押尼珥曾经来见过王. 王打发他离去, 他已经平平安安地走了.

3:24 Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Abner came here to you? Why have you dismissed him that he actually went away?
约押进去见王, 说: “你作了什么事? 尼珥的儿子押尼珥来见你, 你为什么把他送走? 现在他已经平平安安地走了.

3:25 You know that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you. He came to learn about your going out and coming in and to know all which you are doing.”
你认识尼珥的儿子押尼珥, 他来是要欺骗你, 是要了解你的起居行动和你所作的一切事. ”

3:26 Then Joab went out from David, and he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from Bor Hasirah, but David did not know it.
约押从大卫那里出来, 就差派使者去追赶押尼珥, 使者从西拉的水井那里把他带回来. 可是, 大卫一点都不知道.

3:27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate to speak with him in private. Then he struck him in the stomach there and he died, for he had shed the blood of Asahel his brother.
押尼珥回到了希伯仑, 约押就拉他到城门旁边与他密谈. 约押就在那里刺透他的肚子, 他就死了. 这样, 他替自己的兄弟亚撒黑报了血仇.

3:28 When David heard this afterwards, he said: “I and my kingdom are innocent before Yahweh forever for the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
事后大卫听到了, 就说: “关于尼珥的儿子押尼珥的血案, 我和我的国家, 在耶和华面前永远是无辜的.

3:29 May the blood come down on the head of Joab and all the house of his father. May the house of Joab never lack one with a bodily discharge or one with leprosy or one who grasps the distaff or one who falls by the sword or one who is lacking food.”
愿这流人血的罪归到约押的头上和他父亲的全家! 又愿约押家不断有患血漏病的,长痲风的,拿拐杖的,倒毙在剑下的和缺乏粮食的. ”

3:30 So Joab and Abishai, his brother, killed Abner because he had killed Asahel, their brother, at Gibeon in the battle.
因押尼珥在基遍的战场上, 杀死了他们的兄弟亚撒黑, 约押和他的兄弟亚比筛就杀了押尼珥.

3:31 David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothing and put on sackcloth and mourn before Abner.” Now King David was following after the bier.
大卫对约押和与他在一起的众人说: “你们要撕裂衣服, 腰束麻布, 在押尼珥面前哀哭! ”大卫王也走在棺木后面.

3:32 And they buried Abner at Hebron. And the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
他们把押尼珥埋葬在希伯仑. 王在押尼珥的墓旁放声大哭, 众人也都哭了.

3:33 The king sang a lament for Abner and said, “Should Abner have died the death of a fool?
王又为押尼珥作了哀歌, 说: “难道押尼珥死去, 要像愚妄的人死去一样吗?

3:34 Your hands were not tied and your feet were not in contact with bronze fetters. You have fallen as one who falls before sons of wickedness.” Then all the people wept over him again.
你的手没有被绳索绑住, 你的脚也没有被铜链锁住, 你倒毙, 好像人在暴徒面前倒毙一样! ”于是, 众民又为押尼珥哀哭.

3:35 Then all the people came to give David food. Still on that day, David swore, “May God punish me if I taste food or anything before the sun goes down.”
还在白天的时候, 众人都来劝大卫吃点饭; 大卫起誓说: “我若在日落以前吃饭或吃什么东西, 愿神降罚我, 重重地降罚我. ”

3:36 All the people noticed, and it was good in their eyes, as everything that the king did was good in the eyes of all the people.
众人看见了, 就都喜悦. 王所作的一切, 他们都很喜悦.

3:37 Then all the people and all of Israel realized on that day that the king had not desired to kill Abner the son of Ner.
那一天众人和全以色列都知道, 杀死尼珥的儿子押尼珥, 并不是出于王的意思.

3:38 Then the king said to his servants, “Did you not realize that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?
王对他的臣仆说: “你们不知道今天在以色列中, 有一位将领和伟人倒毙了吗?

3:39 I am weak today even though anointed king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are crueler than I am. May Yahweh pay them back for doing wickedness according to their own wickedness.”
今天我虽然受膏为王, 但我还是幼弱的. 洗鲁雅的两个儿子太强了, 非我所能应付. 愿耶和华照着恶人所行的恶, 报应恶人. ”

II Samuel - Chapter 4

4:1 When the son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his courage failed and all of Israel was horrified.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设听见押尼珥在希伯仑死了, 就怕得手都发软, 以色列众人也都惊惶失措.

4:2 Two of the men, commanders of the raiding bands, were for the son of Saul. The name of one was Baanah, and the name of the other was Recab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite from the descendants of Benjamin; also, Beeroth was regarded as belonging to Benjamin.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设有两个统率突击队的将领, 一个名叫巴拿, 一个名叫利甲, 他们是便雅悯支派比录人临门的儿子. (比录也算是便雅悯的一部分.

4:3 The Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and they are resident aliens there until this day.
比录人原先逃到基他音, 就在那里寄居, 直到今日. )

4:4 (Now Jonathan the son of Saul had a son who was crippled in the feet. He was five years old when the message of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse had picked him up and fled. It happened that as she was hurrying away to flee, he fell and became crippled. His name was Mephibosheth.)
扫罗的儿子约拿单有一个儿子, 双腿都跛了. 扫罗和约拿单死亡的消息从耶斯列传到的时候, 他才五岁. 他的乳母抱着他逃跑. 乳母在慌忙中逃跑, 孩子掉了下来, 腿就瘸了. 他的名字叫米非波设.

4:5 When the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Recab and Baanah, set out, they came at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-Bosheth while he was taking a noontime rest.
比录人临门的儿子利甲和巴拿出去, 约在正午炎热的时候, 来到了伊施波设的家. 伊施波设正在睡午觉.

4:6 They came as far as the middle of the house as if takers of wheat, and they struck him in the stomach. Then Recab and Baanah his brother escaped.
他们进了屋里, 假装要拿麦子, 就刺透伊施波设的肚腹, 然后利甲和他的兄弟巴拿都逃脱了.

4:7 When they had come into the house, he was lying on his couch in his bedchamber, and they attacked him and killed him. Then they beheaded him, and they took his head and went on the way of the Arabah all night.
他们进屋子的时候, 伊施波设正在自己的卧室里躺在床上, 他们刺透他, 把他杀死, 然后割下他的头, 拿着头颅在亚拉巴的路上走了一夜,

4:8 They brought the head of Ish-Bosheth to David at Hebron, and they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-Bosheth, the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life. Yahweh has given to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul and on his offspring.”
把伊施波设的头带到希伯仑去见大卫, 对王说: “你的仇敌扫罗过去常常寻索你的命. 看哪! 这是他儿子伊施波设的头. 今天耶和华在扫罗和他后裔的身上为我主我王报了仇了. ”

4:9 Then David answered Recab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and he said to them, “As Yahweh lives, who redeemed my soul from all trouble,
大卫回答比录人临门的儿子利甲和他的兄弟巴拿, 说: “我指着那曾救赎我的命脱离一切患难的永活的耶和华起誓:

4:10 when the one who told me, “Look, Saul is dead,” thought that he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was as my giving the news back to him.
从前有人向我报信说: ‘看哪! 扫罗死了. ’他自以为是报好消息, 我却抓住他, 把他杀在洗革拉, 这就是我给他作报好消息的酬报.

4:11 How much more when wicked men kill a righteous man in his house, on his bed! So then, shall I not seek his lifeblood from your hand, so that I may destroy you from the earth?”
何况恶人在义人的家里, 把义人杀在床上. 现在我怎能不从你们手中追讨流他血的罪, 把你们从这世上除灭呢? ”

4:12 Then David commanded the young men, and they killed them, and they cut off their hands and their feet, and they hung them at the pool at Hebron, but the head of Ish-Bosheth they took and buried in the grave of Abner at Hebron.
于是, 大卫吩咐年轻人把他们杀了, 并且砍断他们的手脚, 把身体挂在希伯仑的水池旁边; 却把伊施波设的头拿去, 埋葬在希伯仑押尼珥的坟墓里.

II Samuel - Chapter 5

5:1 So all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and they said, “Here we are, we are your flesh and blood.
以色列众支派都到希伯仑来见大卫, 说: “看哪! 我们都是你的骨肉至亲.

5:2 For some time, when Saul was king over us, you were leading Israel in and out. Yahweh had said to you, ‘You shall be the shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be the leader over Israel.’ ”
从前扫罗作我们的王的时候, 领导以色列人行动的是你. 耶和华也曾对你说: ‘你要牧养我的子民以色列, 要作以色列的领袖. ’”

5:3 All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron in the presence of Yahweh; then they anointed David as king over Israel.
以色列的众长老都到希伯仑来见王. 大卫王在希伯仑耶和华面前与他们立约, 他们就膏立大卫作以色列的王.

5:4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.
大卫登基的时候是三十岁, 在位共四十年.

5:5 He reigned over Judah at Hebron for seven years and six months; and he reigned over all Israel and Judah at Jerusalem for thirty-three years.
他在希伯仑作犹大的王七年零六个月; 在耶路撒冷作全以色列和犹大的王三十三年.

5:6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here, for even the blind and the lame can turn you back, saying, ‘David cannot come here.’ ”
大卫和随从他的人到了耶路撒冷, 要攻打住在那地的耶布斯人. 耶布斯人对大卫说: “你不能进这里来, 这些瞎眼的,跛脚的就能把你抵挡住. ”他们心里想: “大卫决不能进那里去. ”

5:7 David captured the fortress of Zion, the city of David.
大卫却攻取了锡安的保障, 就是大卫的城.

5:8 David had said, “On that day when we attack the Jebusites, one must attack the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David, by means of the water supply.” For thus the blind and the lame would say, “He cannot come into the house.”
那一天大卫说: “攻打耶布斯人的, 要把大卫心中恨恶的‘瞎子’和‘瘸子’丢进水沟里. ”因此有句俗语说: “瞎眼的或瘸腿的, 都不能进殿里. ”

5:9 David occupied the fortress and called it the city of David. And David built all around it from the Millo and inward.
后来大卫住在保障里, 称保障为“大卫的城”. 大卫又从米罗向里面周围筑墙.

5:10 David continued growing stronger and stronger, and Yahweh the God of hosts was with him.
大卫渐渐强大, 因为耶和华万军的神与他同在.

5:11 So Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, along with cedar trees and craftsmen skilled in wood and in stone masonry, and they built a house for David.
推罗王希兰差派使者来见大卫, 又送来香柏木,木匠和石匠, 他们就给大卫建造宫殿.

5:12 David realized that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel and that he had exalted his kingdom because of his people Israel.
大卫就知道耶和华已经立他作以色列的王, 又因自己的子民以色列的缘故, 使他的国兴盛.

5:13 David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem after he came from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
大卫离开希伯仑后, 在耶路撒冷又娶了多位妃嫔, 并且生了很多儿女.

5:14 These are the names of the ones born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon;
以下这些就是他在耶路撒冷所生的孩子的名字: 沙母亚,朔罢,拿单,所罗门,

5:15 Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia;
益辖,以利书亚,尼斐,雅非亚,

5:16 Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.
以利沙玛,以利雅大,以利法列.

5:17 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard and went down to the stronghold.
非利士人听见有人膏立了大卫作王统治以色列人, 就全体上来搜寻大卫. 大卫听见了, 就下到保障去.

5:18 Now the Philistines had come, and they spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
非利士人来到, 散布在利乏音谷.

5:19 And David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up to the Philistines? Will you give them into my hands?” Yahweh said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
大卫求问耶和华说: “我可以上去攻打非利士人吗? 你会把他们交在我手里吗? ”耶和华对大卫说: “你可以上去, 我必把非利士人交在你手里. ”

5:20 So David came to Baal Perazim and defeated them there; and David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like the bursting of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
于是大卫来到巴力．毗拉心, 在那里击败了非利士人, 说: “耶和华在我面前冲破我的敌人, 好像洪水冲破堤岸一般. ”因此他给那地方起名叫巴力．毗拉心.

5:21 They had left their idols there, so David and his men carried them away.
非利士人把他们的神像遗弃在那里, 大卫和跟随他的人就把它们拿走了.

5:22 Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
非利士人又上来, 散布在利乏音谷.

5:23 So David inquired of Yahweh, but he said, “You shall not go up. Rather, go around to their rear and come to them from opposite the balsam trees.
大卫又求问耶和华, 耶和华说: “你不要直接上去, 要绕到他们后面, 从桑林对面攻打他们.

5:24 And it shall be that when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then pay attention, for then Yahweh has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”
你一听到桑林树梢上有脚步的声音, 就要赶快行动, 因为那时耶和华已经在你前面出去击杀非利士人的军队了. ”

5:25 So David did thus, just as Yahweh had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
于是大卫照着耶和华所吩咐他的去作, 击杀非利士人, 从迦巴直到基色.

II Samuel - Chapter 6

6:1 David again gathered all the chosen men in Israel, thirty thousand.
大卫又聚集以色列中所有拣选出来的三万人.

6:2 David got up and went and all the people who were with him, from Baale-judah to bring up from there the ark of God which is called the name, the name of Yahweh of hosts, upon which the cherubim sit.
大卫和与他在一起的众人起程前去, 要从巴拉．犹大把神的约柜运来, 这约柜的名称是以坐在二基路伯之上万军之耶和华的名字而起的.

6:3 They loaded the ark of God on a new utility cart, and they carried it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Now Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new utility cart along.
他们把神的约柜从山冈上亚比拿达的家里抬出来, 安放在一辆新车上; 亚比拿达的两个儿子, 乌撒和亚希约赶着这辆新车,

6:4 So they brought it out from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill with the ark of God, and Ahio was going before the ark.
车上有神的约柜. 亚希约走在约柜的前面.

6:5 Now David and all the house of Israel were dancing before Yahweh, with all kinds of musical instruments made from ash trees, and with zithers, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
大卫和以色列全家在耶和华面前用各种松木制造的乐器, 就是用琴,瑟,鼓,钹,锣, 作乐跳舞.

6:6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzza reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen had stumbled.
他们到了拿艮的打禾场的时候, 因为牛几乎绊倒, 乌撒就伸手扶住神的约柜.

6:7 Then the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and God struck him down there because of the indiscretion, and he died there beside the ark of God.
耶和华的怒气向乌撒发作; 神因这错误的举动, 就当场击杀他, 他就死在神的约柜旁边.

6:8 David was angry because Yahweh had burst out against Uzza, and he called that place Perez-Uzza until this day.
大卫因为耶和华击杀了乌撒, 就很生气, 因此称那地方为毗列斯．乌撒, 直到今日.

6:9 But David feared Yahweh on that day and said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?”
那一天, 大卫惧怕耶和华, 说: “耶和华的约柜怎可以到我这里来呢? ”

6:10 However, David was not willing to bring the ark of Yahweh to himself, to the city of David, so David caused it to turn to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
于是大卫不肯把耶和华的约柜运进大卫的城到他那里去, 却转运到迦特人俄别．以东的家里去.

6:11 So the ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.
耶和华的约柜在迦特人俄别．以东的家停留了三个月, 耶和华赐福给俄别．以东和他的全家.

6:12 It was told to King David, “Yahweh has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and all that is his because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David with jubilation.
有人告诉大卫王: “耶和华因为神的约柜的缘故, 赐福给俄别．以东的家和一切属他的. ”大卫就去, 欢欢喜喜把神的约柜从俄别．以东的家中抬上大卫的城里去.

6:13 It happened that when the carriers of the ark of Yahweh had marched six steps that he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
那些抬耶和华的约柜的人走了六步, 大卫就献一头公牛和一只肥畜为祭.

6:14 Now David was dancing with all his might before Yahweh, and David was wearing a linen ephod.
大卫束着细麻布的以弗得, 在耶和华面前极力跳舞.

6:15 So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of Yahweh with shouts of joyful acclaim and with the sound of the trumpet.
这样, 大卫和以色列全家, 以欢呼和角声, 把耶和华的约柜抬了上来.

6:16 It happened that when the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked down through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh, and she despised him in her heart.
耶和华的约柜运进大卫城的时候, 扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户往外观看, 看见大卫王在耶和华面前跳跃舞蹈, 心里就鄙视他.

6:17 They brought the ark of Yahweh and set it in its place in the middle of the tent which David had pitched for it. Then David offered up burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in the presence of Yahweh.
他们把耶和华的约柜抬进去, 安放在帐棚里它自己的地方, 就是安放在大卫给它支搭的帐棚里, 大卫就在耶和华面前献上燔祭和平安祭.

6:18 When David had finished from the sacrificing of the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts.
大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭, 就奉万军之耶和华的名给人民祝福.

6:19 Then he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man to woman, to each: one ring-shaped piece of bread, one cake of dates, and one cake of raisins; and all the people went each to his house.
又分给众人, 就是分给以色列全体群众, 无论男女, 每人一个饼,一个枣饼,一个葡萄干饼; 然后众人就各归各家去了.

6:20 When David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. She said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today by uncovering himself before the eyes of the maids of his servants, as the total exposure of a worthless one.”
大卫回去要给自己的家人祝福. 扫罗的女儿米甲出来迎见大卫, 说: “以色列王今天多么荣耀啊! 他今天竟在众臣仆的婢女眼前, 赤身露体, 就像一个卑贱的人露体一样. ”

6:21 So David said to Michal, “In the presence of Yahweh who chose me over your father and over his household, to appoint me as leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel, I have celebrated before Yahweh.
大卫对米甲说: “我是在耶和华面前跳舞; 耶和华拣选了我, 使我高过你父亲和他的全家, 立我作耶和华的子民以色列的领袖, 所以我要在耶和华面前跳舞作乐.

6:22 I will demean myself again more than this, and I will be abased in my eyes, but with the maids whom you mentioned, with them I will be honored.”
我还要比今天这样更卑贱, 我要自视卑微. 至于你所说的那些婢女, 她们倒要尊重我. ”

6:23 So for Michal the daughter of Saul, she had no child until the day of her death.
扫罗的女儿米甲, 一直到她死的日子, 都没有生育.

II Samuel - Chapter 7

7:1 It happened that the king settled in his house. (Now Yahweh had given rest to him from all his enemies all around.)
那时, 王住在自己的宫中, 耶和华使他安享太平, 不受周围仇敌的侵扰.

7:2 And the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, please, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle of the tent.”
王对拿单先知说: “你看! 我自己住在香柏木的宫里, 耶和华的约柜却停在帐幕内. ”

7:3 Nathan said to the king, “Go and do all that is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
拿单对王说: “你可以照着你心所想的一切去作, 因为耶和华与你同在. ”

7:4 But it happened that night, the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
那天晚上, 耶和华的话临到拿单说:

7:5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Are you the one to build for me a house for my dwelling?
“你去对我的仆人大卫说: 耶和华这样说: ‘你要建造一座殿宇给我居住吗?

7:6 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought up the Israelites from Egypt until this day; rather, I was going about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
因为自从我把以色列人从埃及带上来的那天起, 直到今日, 我都没有住过殿宇. 我一直都住在帐棚和会幕里, 到处漂泊.

7:7 In all of my going about among all the Israelites, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, ‘Why did you not build me a cedar house?’ ” ’
我与以色列众人一起走过的地方, 我可曾对以色列的一个支派的官长, 就是我所吩咐要牧养我子民以色列的, 说: 你们为什么不给我建造一座香柏木的殿宇呢? ’

7:8 So then, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “I took you from the pasture from following the sheep to be a leader over my people, over Israel,
现在你要对我的仆人大卫这样说: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 我把你从牧场中,从照顾羊群的工作中拣选出来, 使你作我子民以色列的领袖,

7:9 and I have been with you everywhere you went. I have cut off all of your enemies from in front of you, and I will make a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who are on the earth.
你无论到哪里去, 我都与你同在; 我必在你面前剪除你所有的仇敌. 我要使你得享大名, 像世上那些伟人的名一样.

7:10 I will make a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them so that they can dwell in their own place. They will not tremble any longer, and the children of wickedness will not afflict them again, as in the former days.
我要为我的子民以色列选定一个地方, 不再受骚扰; 恶人也不能再像以前那样苦待他们,

7:11 In the manner that I appointed judges over my people Israel, I will give you rest from all your enemies. And Yahweh declares to you that Yahweh will build a house for you.
像我立了士师治理我的子民以色列的那天以来那样. 我要使你安享太平, 不受你所有的仇敌侵扰. 耶和华向你宣告, 耶和华要亲自为你建立一个朝代.

7:12 When your days are full and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you who will go out from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
到了你的寿数满足, 你与你的列祖一起长眠的时候, 我必兴起你亲生的后裔接替你, 并且我要坚固他的国.

7:13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
他必为我的名建造一座殿宇, 我要永远坚固他的国位.

7:14 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son for me, whom I will punish when he does wrong, with a rod of men and with blows of the human beings.
我要作他的父亲, 他要作我的儿子, 他若是犯了罪, 我要用人的刑杖,用世人的鞭子纠正他.

7:15 But my loyal love shall not depart from him as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
但我的慈爱必不离开他, 像离开在你面前的扫罗一样.

7:16 Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before you; your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
你的家和你的王国, 也必在我的面前永远坚定, 你的王位也必永远坚立. ’”

7:17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, this Nathan spoke to David.
拿单按着这一切话, 又照着全部的默示, 都对大卫说了.

7:18 Then King David went and sat before Yahweh and said, “Who am I, my lord Yahweh, and what is my house that you have brought me up to this place?
于是, 大卫王进去, 坐在耶和华面前, 说: “主耶和华啊! 我是谁, 我的家又算什么, 你竟带领我到这地步?

7:19 Still, this was insignificant in your eyes, my lord Yahweh, and also you have spoken about the house of your servant from afar, and this may be the teaching of humans, my lord Yahweh.
主耶和华啊, 这在你眼中还看为小事, 你也说到你仆人的家未来的事. 主耶和华啊, 这岂是人常遇到的事吗?

7:20 What more can David say to you? You know your servant, my lord Yahweh.
主耶和华啊, 你认识你的仆人, 大卫还有什么话可以对你说呢?

7:21 Because of your word and according to your heart, you have done all of this great thing, in order to let your servant know.
你因自己应许的缘故, 又按照自己的心意, 行了这大事, 为要使你仆人明白.

7:22 Therefore you are great, my lord Yahweh, for there is no one like you, and there is no god except you, in all that we have heard with our ears.
主耶和华啊, 因此, 你是伟大的! 按照我们耳朵所听见的, 没有像你的, 除了你以外, 再没有别的神.

7:23 Who is like your people, like Israel? Israel is the one nation on earth whose God led them, in order to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to do for you the great and awesome things for your land in the presence of your people whom he redeemed for himself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods.
世上有哪一个国家像你的子民以色列呢? 神曾亲自救赎他们, 使他们作自己的子民, 又为他自己立名, 为他们作了大事, 为你的地作了可畏的事; 在你的子民面前, 就是你从埃及救赎出来归你自己的子民面前, 赶出了列国的人和他们的神.

7:24 You have established your people Israel for yourself as a people forever, and you, O Yahweh, have become their God.
你为自己坚立了你的子民以色列, 使他们永远作你的子民; 耶和华啊, 你也作了他们的神.

7:25 So then, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do just as you have promised.
耶和华神啊! 你所应许关于你仆人和他的家的话, 现在求你永远坚守, 并且照着你所说的去行吧;

7:26 Your name shall be great forever, and they will say, ‘Yahweh of hosts is God over Israel’; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
这样, 你的名必永远为大, 以致人要说: ‘万军之耶和华是以色列的神. ’你仆人大卫的家也必在你面前得坚立.

7:27 For you, O Yahweh of hosts, are God of Israel! You have revealed to the ear of your servant, ‘I will build a house for you’; therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.
万军之耶和华以色列的神啊! 因为你曾启示你的仆人说: ‘我要为你建立家室. ’所以你的仆人才敢来向你作这样的祷告.

7:28 Now, my Lord Yahweh, you alone are God, and your words are true. You have promised this good to your servant.
主耶和华啊! 你是神; 你的话是真实可信的. 你向你仆人应许了这美好的福分.

7:29 So then, be content and bless the house of your servant to be forever in your presence, for you, my Lord Yahweh, have spoken, and because of your blessing, may the house of your servant be blessed forever.”
现在求你乐意赐福给你仆人的家, 使它在你面前可以永远存在. 主耶和华啊! 因为你曾经这样应许, 愿你仆人的家因你的赐福永远蒙福. ”

大卫问: “扫罗家还有剩下的人没有? 我要因约拿单的缘故, 以慈爱待他. ”

王又问: “扫罗家还有人没有? 我要以神的慈爱待他. ”洗巴回答王说: “还有约拿单的一个儿子, 他双脚残废了. ”

亚扪人的众领袖对他们的主哈嫩说: “大卫差派这些慰问的人到你这里来, 你以为他是尊敬你父亲吗? 他派遣臣仆到你这里来, 不是为了要窥探这城, 侦察清楚, 然后把城倾覆吗? ”

10:4 Then Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off half of their beards and cut their garments off in the middle up to their buttocks, then sent them away.
于是哈嫩拿住大卫的臣仆, 把他们的胡须剃去一半, 又把他们的外袍割去半截, 露出臀部, 然后才放他们走.

亚扪人出来, 在城门前摆阵, 琐巴和利合的亚兰人, 陀伯人和玛迦人, 也分别在郊野摆阵.

你要刚强; 为了我们的人民和我们神的众城镇, 我们要刚强! 愿耶和华成全他看为美的事. ”

10:13 Joab and all the people who were with him moved forward into the battle against Aram, and they fled from before him.
于是约押和与他在一起的人前进, 攻击亚兰人; 亚兰人在约押面前逃跑.

10:14 When the Ammonites saw that Aram had fled, they fled from before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
亚扪人看见亚兰人逃跑, 他们也在亚比筛面前逃跑, 逃进城里去了. 约押就从亚扪人那里回来, 回到耶路撒冷去了.

亚兰人却在以色列人面前逃跑. 大卫杀了亚兰七百名驾驶战车的军兵, 四万骑兵. 又击杀了亚兰军队的将军朔法, 他就死在那里.

10:19 When all the kings, the servants of Hadadezer, saw that he had been defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them, and Aram was afraid to help the Ammonites any longer.
所有臣服于哈大底谢的王看见自己被以色列人打败, 就与以色列人议和, 臣服于他们. 于是亚兰人害怕, 不敢再帮助亚扪人了.

II Samuel - Chapter 11

11:1 It came about in the spring, at the time kings go out, David sent Joab and his servants with him and all of Israel. They ravaged all of the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David was remaining in Jerusalem.
过了年, 在列王出征的时候, 大卫派遣约押和自己的臣仆, 以及以色列众军一同出征. 他们歼灭了亚扪人, 并且包围了拉巴. 大卫却留在耶路撒冷.

11:2 It happened late one afternoon that David got up from his bed and walked about on the roof of the king’s house, and he saw a woman bathing on her roof. Now the woman was very beautiful.
有一天近黄昏的时候, 大卫从床上起来, 在王宫的平顶上散步. 他从平顶上看见一个妇人在洗澡; 这妇人容貌美丽.

11:3 David sent and inquired about the woman, and someone said, “Is this not Bathsheba the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
大卫派人去查问那妇人是谁. 有人说: “这不是以连的女儿,赫人乌利亚的妻子拔示巴吗? ”

11:4 Then David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
于是大卫差派使者去把她接来. 她来到大卫那里, 大卫就与她同房. 那时她的月经刚得洁净. 事后, 她就回家去了.

11:5 The woman became pregnant, and she sent and told David, and she said, “I am pregnant.”
后来那妇人怀了孕, 就打发人去告诉大卫, 说: “我怀孕了! ”

乌利亚来到大卫那里, 大卫就问约押和士兵可好, 又问战场上的情形怎样.

大卫对乌利亚说: “你回家去, 洗洗脚吧! ”乌利亚就离开了王宫. 随后王的一份礼物也跟着送去.

11:9 But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house with all the servants of his master and did not go down to his house.
乌利亚却和他主人的臣仆一同睡在王宫门外, 没有回到自己家里去.

11:10 They told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house.” David said to Uriah, “Are you not coming from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”
有人告诉大卫说: “乌利亚没有下到自己家里去. ”大卫就问乌利亚: “你不是从远路回来吗? 为什么不下到自己家里去呢? ”

11:11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are living in the booths; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping on the surface of the open field; and I, shall I go to my house to eat and to drink and to sleep with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I surely will not do this thing.”
乌利亚回答大卫说: “约柜,以色列人和犹大人都住在棚里, 我主人约押和我主人的臣仆都在野地安营, 我怎能回家吃喝, 与妻子同睡呢? 我指着王和王的生命发誓: 我绝不敢作这样的事. ”

11:12 David said to Uriah, “Remain here today, and tomorrow I will send you away.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem on that day and the next.
大卫对乌利亚说: “你今天还留在这里, 明天我才打发你去. ”那一天, 乌利亚就留在耶路撒冷.

11:13 David invited him, and he ate and drank in his presence so that he became drunk, and he went out in the evening to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
次日, 大卫召了乌利亚来, 叫乌利亚与他一起吃喝, 使他喝醉. 到了晚上, 乌利亚出去, 与他主人的臣仆一同睡在自己的床铺上, 还是没有下到自己家里去.

11:14 And it happened in the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab, and he sent it by the hand of Uriah.
到了早晨, 大卫写了一封给约押的信, 交乌利亚亲手带去.

11:15 He had written in the letter, “Put Uriah in the front, in the face of the fiercest fighting, then draw back from behind him so that he may be struck down and die.”
他在信里写着说: “要把乌利亚派到战斗最猛烈的前线去, 然后你们就退到他后边, 让他被击杀. ”

11:16 When Joab was besieging the city, he put Uriah toward the place which he knew there were valiant warriors.
那时, 约押正在围城, 他知道哪里有强悍的守军, 就派乌利亚到那里去.

11:17 The men of the city came out and fought with Joab. Some from the army from the servants of David fell; Uriah the Hittite also died.
城里的人出来, 与约押交战. 大卫的仆人中有一些倒毙了, 赫人乌利亚也死了.

11:18 Joab sent and told David all of the news of the battle.
于是, 约押派人去把战事的一切情形都报告大卫.

11:19 He instructed the messenger, saying, “As you are finishing to speak all the news of the battle to the king,
他又吩咐那使者说: “你把战事的一切情形对王说完了以后,

11:20 if the anger of the king rises and he says to you, ‘Why did you go near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from atop the wall?
王若是大怒, 责问你: ‘你们为什么那样靠近那城争战呢? 你们不知道敌人会从城墙上射箭下来吗?

11:21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerub-bosheth, if not a woman who threw an upper millstone on him from atop the wall and he died at Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?’ Then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.’ ”
从前击杀了耶路．比设的儿子亚比米勒的是谁呢? 不是一个妇人从城墙上把一块磨石丢在他身上, 他就死在提备斯吗? 你们为什么靠近城墙呢? ’你就回答: ‘王的仆人赫人乌利亚也死了. ’”

11:22 Then the messenger left, and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him to say.
于是那使者去了; 他一来到, 就把约押差遣他所要说的一切都报告了大卫.

11:23 The messenger said to David, “Because the men overpowered us, the men came out to us in the field, but we forced them back to the entrance of the gate.
那使者又对大卫说: “那些人比我们强, 他们出到旷野攻打我们, 我们把他们赶回城门口.

11:24 The archers shot at your servant from atop the wall, and some of the servants of the king died; your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.”
那时射手从城墙上射王的仆人; 王的仆人中有些阵亡了, 你的仆人赫人乌利亚也死了. ”

11:25 Then David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall say to Joab, ‘Do not feel badly about this matter; now one and then another the sword will devour. Intensify your attack on the city and overthrow it.’ ” And he encouraged him.
大卫对那使者说: “你要对约押这样说: ‘不要为这件事难过, 因为刀剑有时吞灭这人, 有时吞灭那人. 你只要加紧攻打这城, 把城毁灭. ’你要这样鼓励他. ”

11:26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned over her husband.
乌利亚的妻子听到丈夫乌利亚死了, 就为他哀哭.

11:27 When the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his household, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing which David had done was evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
守丧期一过, 大卫就派人去把拔示巴接到宫里, 她就作了大卫的妻子, 给大卫生了一个儿子. 大卫所作的这事, 耶和华看为恶.

II Samuel - Chapter 12

12:1 So Yahweh sent Nathan to David, and he came to him and said, “Two men were in a certain city; one was rich and the other was poor.
耶和华差派拿单去见大卫. 于是拿单来到大卫那里, 对他说: “在一座城里有两个人, 一个富有, 一个贫穷.

12:2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
那富有的有极多牛羊,

12:3 but the poor man had nothing except for one small ewe lamb which he had bought. He had nurtured her, and she grew up with him and with his children together. She used to eat from his morsel and drink from his cup, and she used to lie in his lap and became like a daughter for him.
那贫穷的除了买来养的一只母羊羔以外, 什么也没有. 那小羊在他家里和他的儿女一同长大, 小羊吃他的食物, 喝他杯中的饮料, 睡在他的怀里, 就像他的女儿一样.

12:4 And a visitor came to the rich man, but he was reluctant to take from his flocks or from his herds to prepare a meal for the traveler when he came to him. So he took the ewe lamb of the poor man and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
有一个旅客来到富翁那里, 他舍不得从自己的牛群羊群中取一头出来, 款待到他那里来的旅客, 却取了那穷人的母羊羔, 款待到他那里来的客人. ”

12:5 Then the anger of David was kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
大卫就非常恼怒那人, 对拿单说: “我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 作这事的人该死.

12:6 He shall restore the ewe lamb fourfold because he has done this thing, and because he had no pity.”
他必须四倍赔偿这羊羔, 因为他作了这事, 又因他没有怜悯的心. ”

12:7 Then Nathan said to him, “You are the man! Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
拿单对大卫说: “你就是那人! 耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘我膏立了你作以色列的王, 把你从扫罗的手里救了出来,

12:8 I gave you the household of your master and the women of your master into your lap. I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah; if that had been too little, I would have added to you much more.
把你主人的家赐给你, 把你主人的妻妾交在你怀里, 又把以色列和犹大家赐给你. 你若是还以为太少, 我还可以多多加给你.

12:9 Why have you despised the word of Yahweh by doing evil in his eyes? Uriah the Hittite you have struck down with the sword, and his wife you have taken to yourself as wife! You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites!
你为什么藐视耶和华的话, 行他看为恶的事呢? 你用刀击杀了赫人乌利亚, 娶了他的妻子作你的妻子, 你借着亚扪人的刀杀了乌利亚.

12:10 So then, a sword will not turn away from your house forever, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife!’
所以, 从今以后, 刀剑必不离开你的家, 因为你藐视了我, 娶了赫人乌利亚的妻子作你的妻子. ’

12:11 Thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am going to raise up evil against you from within your house, and I will take your women before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor, and he shall sleep with your wives in broad daylight.
耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我必从你家中兴起祸患攻击你; 我要在你的眼前把你的妃嫔拿去赐给别人. 他要在光天化日之下与她们同床.

12:12 Though you did this in secret, I will do this thing before all of Israel in broad daylight!’ ”
你在暗中行了这事, 我却要在所有以色列人面前, 在光天化日之下行这事报应你. ’”

12:13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh!” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has also forgiven your sin; you shall not die.
大卫对拿单说: “我得罪了耶和华了. ”拿单对大卫说: “耶和华已经除去了你的罪, 你必不至于死.

12:14 But because you have utterly scorned Yahweh in this matter, the son born for you will certainly die.”
只是因为你作了这事, 使耶和华的仇敌大得亵渎的机会, 所以你所生的儿子必定死. ”

12:15 Then Nathan went to his house, and Yahweh struck the child that the wife of Uriah bore for David, and he became ill.
于是拿单回自己的家去了. 耶和华击打乌利亚的妻子给大卫所生的孩子, 他就害了重病.

12:16 David pleaded with God on behalf of the boy and David fasted. He went to spend the night and lay upon the ground.
大卫为那孩子恳求神, 并且禁食. 他进房里去, 终夜躺在地上.

12:17 The elders of his household stood over him to lift him up from the ground, but he was not willing, and he did not eat any food with them.
他家中的老侍从站在他旁边, 要把他从地上扶起来, 他却不肯, 也不与他们一起吃饭.

12:18 It happened on the seventh day that the child died, and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, when the child was alive, we spoke to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How can we tell him, ‘The child is dead’? He may do something evil.”
到了第七天, 孩子死了. 大卫的臣仆不敢告诉他孩子死了, 因为他们说: “看哪, 孩子还活着的时候, 我们劝他, 他尚且不听我们的话. 现在我们怎么能告诉他孩子已经死了呢? 他会伤心欲绝的. ”

12:19 When David saw that his servants were whispering together, he realized that the child was dead. Then David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.”
大卫看见他的臣仆彼此低声耳语, 就知道孩子已经死了. 他问臣仆说: “孩子死了吗? ”他们回答: “死了! ”

12:20 David stood up from the ground and washed and anointed himself and changed his clothing. Then he went to the house of Yahweh and worshiped, and he went to his own house. He asked, so they served him food, and he ate.
于是大卫从地上起来, 洗澡, 抹膏, 更换衣服, 进耶和华的殿去敬拜, 然后回到自己的宫里去, 吩咐人给他摆上饭, 他就吃了.

12:21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; now that the child has died, you get up and eat food!”
臣仆问他: “你为什么这样作呢? 孩子还活着的时候, 你为他禁食哭泣; 孩子死了, 你倒起来吃饭! ”

12:22 He said, “When the child was still alive, I fasted and I wept because I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may have mercy on me that the child will live.’
他回答: “孩子还活着的时候, 我禁食哭泣, 因为我想: ‘也许耶和华怜悯我, 让孩子可以活着. ’

12:23 But now he is dead. Why should I be fasting? Am I able to return him again? I am going to him, but he cannot return to me.”
现在他死了, 我为什么还要禁食呢? 我还能使他回来吗? 我要到他那里去, 他却不能回到我这里来. ”

12:24 David consoled Bathsheba his wife, and he went to her and slept with her. She bore a son, and he called him Solomon, and Yahweh loved him.
大卫安慰他的妻子拔示巴, 进到她那里去, 与她同睡. 她生了一个儿子, 大卫给他起名叫所罗门; 耶和华也喜爱他,

12:25 He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet, so he called him Jedidiah because of Yahweh.
就差派拿单先知去, 照着耶和华的吩咐, 给他起名叫耶底底亚.

12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and he captured the royal city.
那时, 约押正在攻打亚扪人的拉巴, 攻取了王城.

12:27 Then Joab sent messengers to David and said, “We have fought against Rabbah, and we captured the city of the waters.
约押派遣使者去见大卫, 说: “我攻打拉巴, 已经攻取了水城.

12:28 So then, gather the remainder of the army and encamp against the city and capture it, lest I capture the city and my name be proclaimed over it.”
现在, 请你聚集其余的人民, 安营攻打这城, 把城攻取; 免得我攻取了这城, 人就以我的名字来叫这城. ”

12:29 So David gathered all of the army, and he went to Rabbah and fought against it and captured it.
于是大卫聚集所有的人民, 向拉巴进军; 攻打那城, 把它攻取了.

12:30 He took the crown of their king from his head. (Now its weight was a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it and it was put on David’s head.) He brought out the plunder of the city in great abundance.
大卫从他们的王的头上夺取了王冠. 王冠的金子重三十五公斤, 上面嵌有宝石, 人把这冠冕戴在大卫的头上. 大卫又从这城里带走了许多战利品,

12:31 He also brought out the people who were in it and put them to the saws and to the iron picks and to the iron axes, and he sent them to the place of the brickmakers. Thus he used to do to all the cities of the Ammonites, and he and all of the army returned to Jerusalem.
又把那城里的人民带出去, 使他们用锯子,铁耙,铁斧作工, 或使他们在砖窑服役. 大卫对待亚扪各城的居民都是这样. 后来, 大卫和众人都回耶路撒冷去了.

II Samuel - Chapter 13

13:1 It happened afterwards that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David fell in love with her.
大卫的儿子押沙龙有一个美丽的妹妹, 名叫他玛; 大卫的儿子暗嫩爱上了她.

13:2 And Amnon was so frustrated that he felt ill because of Tamar his sister, because she was a virgin, and it was too difficult in Amnon’s eyes to do anything with her.
暗嫩为了他妹妹他玛的缘故, 因爱成病. 因为他玛还是处女, 所以暗嫩看来很难对她采取什么行动.

13:3 Now Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, the brother of David. (Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.)
暗嫩有一个朋友, 名叫约拿达, 是大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子. 约拿达是一个非常狡猾的人.

13:4 And he said to him, “Why are you so sullen every morning, O son of the king? Will you not tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
他问暗嫩说: “王子啊! 你为什么一天比一天瘦弱呢? 你可以告诉我吗? ”暗嫩说: “我爱上了我兄弟押沙龙的妹妹他玛. ”

13:5 Then Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and appear ill. If your father comes to see you, you shall say to him, ‘Please let Tamar my sister come and give me food to eat, and let her prepare the food before my eyes, in order that I may see it and eat from her hand.’ ”
约拿达对他说: “你可以躺在床上装病. 你父亲来看你的时候, 你就对他说: ‘求你叫我的妹妹他玛来, 把食物递给我吃; 叫她在我眼前预备食物, 好使我可以看见, 也可以从她的手中取食. ’”

13:6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill, and the king came to see him. Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come, and let her bake two cakes before my eyes that I may eat from her hand.”
于是暗嫩躺着装病. 王来看他, 暗嫩对王说: “求你叫我的妹妹他玛来, 叫她在我眼前给我做两个饼, 我可以从她的手里拿过来吃. ”

13:7 So David sent to the house for Tamar, saying, “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare food for him.”
大卫就派人到宫里去对他玛说: “你到你哥哥暗嫩的屋里去, 为他预备食物. ”

13:8 Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother. Now he was lying down, and she took the dough and kneaded it and made cakes before his eyes, and she baked the cakes.
他玛就到她哥哥暗嫩的屋里去; 暗嫩正躺着. 他玛取了点面, 把面和好, 就在暗嫩面前做饼, 并且把饼烤熟了.

13:9 Then she took the pan and poured it out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, “Let all the men go out from me.” So all the men went out from him.
她拿过锅来, 在他面前把饼倒出来, 暗嫩却不肯吃, 他说: “叫众人离开我出去! ”众人就都离开他出去了.

13:10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food to the private room that I may eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them to Amnon her brother in the private room.
暗嫩对他玛说: “把食物带到卧房来, 我好从你的手里拿过来吃. ”他玛拿着她做好的饼, 进了卧房, 到她哥哥暗嫩那里去.

13:11 When she brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”
他玛上到他面前, 给他吃的时候, 暗嫩却拉住她, 对她说: “妹妹, 来与我同寝吧! ”

13:12 Then Tamar said to him, “No, my brother! Do not force me, for such a thing has not been done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
他玛对他说: “不要! 哥哥! 不要污辱我! 在以色列中不可作这样的事. 你不要作这丑事.

13:13 As for me, where should I take my disgrace? You will be as one of the fools in Israel. So please, speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
至于我, 我到哪里除去我的耻辱呢? 至于你, 你在以色列中也会成了一个愚妄的人. 现在请你去对王说, 他必不会禁止我归你的. ”

13:14 But he was not willing to listen to her voice. He was stronger than she, and he forced her and lay with her.
但暗嫩不肯听她的话, 他又比他玛有力, 就污辱了她, 与她同寝.

13:15 Then Amnon hated her very deeply, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. So Amnon said to her, “Get up and go.”
事后, 暗嫩非常恨她; 他对他玛的恨比以前对她的爱更大, 所以暗嫩对她说: “你起来! 走吧! ”

13:16 She said to him, “No, because this evil in sending me away is greater than the other you have done to me.” But he was not willing to listen to her.
他玛却对他说: “我的哥哥啊, 不! 你赶我出去的这罪比你刚才与我所行的罪更大了. ”但是暗嫩不肯听她的话,

13:17 Then he called his young man who was serving him and said, “Please send this woman from me to the outside, and bolt the door behind her!”
就叫了侍候他的仆人来, 说: “把这女人从我面前赶到外面去, 然后把门锁上. ”

13:18 Now there was a long-sleeved robe on her, for so they clothed the daughters of the king who were virgins, in robes. His servant put her outside, and he bolted the door behind her.
那时他玛身上穿着长袖彩衣, 因为未嫁的公主都是这样穿的. 那侍候暗嫩的仆人把她赶到外面去, 随后把门锁上.

13:19 Tamar put ashes on her head, and she tore the long-sleeved robe which was on her. She put her hand on her head, and she went away, crying out as she went.
他玛把尘土撒在自己的头上, 撕裂身上的长袖彩衣, 又把一只手放在头上, 一边行走一边哭叫.

13:20 Absalom her brother said to her, “Was Amnon your brother with you? But now, my sister, be quiet; he is your brother. Do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained a desolate woman in the house of Absalom her brother.
她哥哥押沙龙问她: “是不是你哥哥暗嫩与你亲近了? 我妹妹啊, 你现在不要作声, 他是你的哥哥, 你不要把这事放在心上. ”于是他玛孤单凄凉地住在她哥哥押沙龙的家里.

13:21 Now King David heard all these things, and he became very angry.
大卫王听见了这一切事, 就非常生气.

13:22 Absalom did not speak with Amnon either bad or good, for Absalom hated Amnon over the matter when he raped Tamar his sister.
押沙龙什么话都没有对暗嫩说. 押沙龙恨暗嫩, 因为暗嫩污辱了他的妹妹他玛.

13:23 About two full years later, Absalom’s shearers were in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom summoned all the sons of the king.
两年以后, 在以法莲边界的巴力．夏琐, 押沙龙雇了人为他剪羊毛, 押沙龙邀请王所有的儿子到那里去.

13:24 Then Absalom went to the king and said, “Look, here are your servant’s shearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant.
押沙龙去见王说: “看哪! 现在你的仆人雇了人剪羊毛; 请王和王的臣仆与我一同去. ”

13:25 The king said to Absalom, “No my son, not all of us shall go, so that we not be a burden to you.” And he urged him, but he was not willing to go, but he blessed him.
王对押沙龙说: “不! 我儿, 我们不必都去, 免得我们成为你的重担. ”押沙龙再三勉强王去, 王还是不肯去, 只是为他祝福.

13:26 So Absalom said, “But will you not let Amnon my brother go with us?” And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
押沙龙说: “王若是不去, 求王让我的哥哥暗嫩与我一同去. ”王问他: “为什么要他与你一同去呢? ”

13:27 But Absalom pressed him, so he sent Amnon with him and all of the sons of the king.
押沙龙再三求王, 王就派暗嫩和王所有的儿子与他一同去.

13:28 Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Please watch. At the moment the heart of Amnon is tipsy with wine, then I shall say to you, ‘Strike Amnon down,’ and you shall kill him! Don’t be afraid. Is it not I myself who has commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant!
押沙龙吩咐他的仆人说: “你们注意! 暗嫩酒酣耳热的时候, 我对你们说: ‘击杀暗嫩! ’你们就把他杀死. 不要惧怕, 这不是我吩咐你们的吗? 你们要坚强, 作勇敢的人. ”

13:29 So Absalom’s servants did to Amnon just as Absalom commanded, and all the sons of the king got up, and each mounted his mule and fled.
押沙龙的仆人就照押沙龙所吩咐的, 向暗嫩行了. 王所有的儿子就起来, 各人骑上自己的骡子逃跑了.

13:30 While they were on the way, the message came to David, “Absalom has killed all the sons of the king, and not one of them was left.”
他们还在路上的时候, 有消息传到大卫那里, 说: “押沙龙杀了王所有的儿子, 没有剩下一个. ”

13:31 Then the king rose and tore his garments, and he lay on the ground, and all his servants standing by were tearing their garments.
王就起来, 撕裂衣服, 躺在地上. 侍立在他身旁的所有臣仆, 也都撕裂衣服.

13:32 Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, the brother of David, responded and said, “My lord should not think that all the young men, the sons of the king, are dead, because only Amnon is dead. Absalom was talking about it, as it was being determined from the day he raped Tamar his sister.
大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿达说: “我主不要以为所有的年轻人,王的儿子都被杀死了. 其实死的只有暗嫩一人; 自从暗嫩污辱了押沙龙的妹妹他玛那一天起, 押沙龙就定意要杀死他了.

13:33 So then, let not my lord the king set his heart on this matter, thinking, ‘All the sons of the king are dead,’ for only Amnon alone is dead.”
现在我主我王不要把这事放在心上, 以为王所有的儿子都死了. 其实死的只有暗嫩一人. ”

13:34 So Absalom fled, and the young man who was keeping watch lifted up his eyes and saw, and there were many people coming from the road behind him from the side of the mountain.
押沙龙逃走了. 守望的年轻人举目观看, 看见许多人从后面山坡旁边的路而来.

13:35 Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have come. According to the word of your servant, so it has come about.”
约拿达对王说: “看哪! 王的儿子都回来了. 正如你仆人所说的, 事情果然是这样. ”

13:36 When he finished speaking, look, the sons of the king came and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also, the king and all his servants wept a very great weeping.
他刚说完了, 王的众子就都来到了, 他们都放声大哭; 王和他所有的臣仆也都号咷痛哭.

13:37 Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, the king of Geshur. David mourned over his son day after day.
押沙龙逃亡, 走到基述王亚米忽的儿子达买那里去了. 大卫天天为他的儿子哀伤.

13:38 But Absalom had fled and went to Geshur, and he was there three years.
押沙龙逃亡, 逃到基述那里去, 在那里住了三年.

13:39 King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was consoled that Amnon had died.
大卫的心不再怀恨押沙龙, 对暗嫩的死也不再那么难过了.

II Samuel - Chapter 14

14:1 Joab the son of Zeruiah realized that the mind of the king was on Absalom.
洗鲁雅的儿子约押知道王的心想念押沙龙,

14:2 So Joab sent to Tekoa and took from there a wise woman, and he said to her, “Please pretend to mourn and put on garments of mourning. You should not anoint yourself with oil, and you must act like this woman who has been mourning over the dead for a long time.
就派人到提哥亚去, 从那里带了一位聪明的妇人来, 对她说: “你要假装居丧的, 穿上丧服, 不要用油膏抹身体. 要装成一个为死者居丧很久的妇人.

14:3 Then you must go to the king and speak to him according to this word.” Thus Joab put the words in her mouth.
然后进去见王, 对他这样这样说. ”于是约押把要说的话教了她.

14:4 So the Tekoite woman spoke to the king, and she fell on her face to the ground and did obeisance. She said, “Help me, O king!”
提哥亚妇人进去见王, 俯伏在地, 叩拜他, 说: “王啊! 求你帮助我. ”

14:5 Then the king asked her, “What do you want?” And she said, “Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.
王问她: “你有什么事呢? ”她回答: “我实在是个寡妇, 我的丈夫死了.

14:6 Your servant had two sons, and they both fought in the open field, and there was no one to part them. One struck the other and killed him.
婢女有两个儿子; 有一天, 他们两人在田里打架, 当时没有人劝开他们, 这个就击打那个, 竟把他打死了.

14:7 And look, all of the family has risen up against your servant, and they said, ‘Give up the one who struck his brother, that we may kill him in exchange for the life of his brother whom he murdered. We will also wipe out the heir,’ and so they would put out my embers which remain, by not preserving for my husband a name and a remnant on the face of the earth.”
看哪! 现在全家族的人都起来攻击婢女, 说: ‘你要把那击杀他兄弟的凶手交出来, 好让我们把他处死, 以偿他兄弟的命, 也可以灭绝那继承产业的. ’这样他们要使我所剩下的炭火也都熄灭了, 不让我丈夫在这世上留下名字, 或留下后代. ”

14:8 Then the king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I myself will give the command concerning you.”
王对那妇人说: “你回家去吧! 我必为你下令办这件事. ”

14:9 The Tekoite woman said to the king, “On me, my lord the king, is the guilt, and on the house of my father, but the king on his throne is innocent.”
提哥亚妇人又对王说: “我主我王, 愿这罪归于我和我父的家; 愿王和王的王位与这罪无关. ”

14:10 The king said, “Whoever has spoken to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you again.”
王说: “对你说这事的, 你就把他带到我这里来, 他必不会再打扰你了. ”

14:11 Then she said, “Please may the king remember Yahweh your God, to prevent the increase of blood avengers who kill, so that they not wipe out my son.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, surely not one hair shall fall from your son to the ground.”
妇人说: “愿王记念耶和华你的神, 不许报血仇的人多行杀戮, 免得他们灭绝我的儿子. ”王说: “我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 你的儿子连一根头发也不会落在地上. ”

14:12 The woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”
那妇人又说: “请允许婢女对我主我王再说一句话. ”王说: “你说吧. ”

14:13 The woman said, “But why have you plotted like this against the people of God? By speaking this word, he is guilty not to bring back his banished one.
妇人说: “你为什么想出这样的事来陷害神的子民呢? 王说了这话, 如果不让自己逃亡的人回来, 就是个有罪的人了.

14:14 For we must certainly die, and we are as the waters spilled to the ground which cannot be gathered. God will not take a life but devises plans for a banished person not to be cast out from him.
我们都是必死的, 像水泼在地上不能收回来一样; 但神并不取去人的命, 反而设法使逃亡的人不致永远离开他逃亡.

14:15 Now I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, because the people made me afraid, and your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king, perhaps the king will grant the request of his servant.
现在我来对我主我王说这话, 是因为众民使我害怕, 所以婢女想: ‘现在我要对王说, 也许王会成全婢女所求的. ’

14:16 For the king will listen, to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who seeks to destroy me and my son together from the inheritance of God.’
人要把我和我的儿子从神的产业上一同消灭, 也许王会垂听, 会把婢女从那人的手下救出来.

14:17 Your servant also thought, ‘May the word of my lord the king bring rest, for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, to sense what is good and what is bad.’ May Yahweh your God be with you.”
婢女又想: ‘我主我王的话必能使我得安慰, 因为我主我王像神的使者一样, 能分辨是非. 愿耶和华你的神与你同在. ’”

14:18 The king answered and said to the woman, “Please do not withhold from me a thing which I am about to ask you.” The woman said, “Please let my lord the king speak.”
王对那妇人说: “我要问你一句话, 请你不要瞒我. ”妇人回答: “我主我王, 请说! ”

14:19 The king asked, “Was the hand of Joab with you in all of this?” The woman answered and said, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, surely one cannot go to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken. Yes, your servant Joab himself commanded me, and he put all of these words in the mouth of your servant.
王问: “这一切都是约押一手安排的吗? ”妇人回答: “我指着我主我王起誓, 王所说的丝毫不差. 这正是王的仆人约押吩咐我的, 这一切话也都是他教婢女说的.

14:20 In order to change the situation, your servant Joab did this thing. But my lord has wisdom, as the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is on the earth.”
王的仆人约押这样作, 为要挽回这件事. 我主有智慧, 像神使者的智慧一样, 能知道世上的一切事. ”

14:21 Then the king said to Joab, “Look, please, I will grant this thing. Go and bring back the young man Absalom.”
王对约押说: “看哪! 这事我已经同意了. 你去把那年轻人押沙龙带回来吧! ”

14:22 Joab fell with his face to the ground and did obeisance. And he blessed the king, and he said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, in that the king has granted the request of his servant.”
约押就面伏于地, 叩拜王, 为王祝福; 又说: “今天你仆人知道在我主我王眼前蒙了恩宠, 因为王成全了你仆人所求的. ”

14:23 Then Joab got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
于是约押起来, 往基述去, 把押沙龙带回耶路撒冷.

14:24 The king said, “Let him go over to his house, and he may not see my face.” So Absalom went over to his house, and did not see the face of the king.
王说: “让他回自己的家里去, 不要见王的面. ”押沙龙就转回自己的家里去, 没有见王的面.

14:25 As far as Absalom, there was not a more handsome man in all of Israel to admire so much; from the sole of his foot up to his crown, there was no physical defect on him.
在全以色列中, 没有一个人像押沙龙那样英俊, 得人称赞, 从脚底到头顶, 都没有一点缺陷.

14:26 When he shaved his head, it would happen every year, which he did because it was heavy on him, he would shave it off and weigh the hair of his head: two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.
他每年年底剪发一次, 因为他头上的头发太厚, 所以把它剪下来; 他把头发剪下来以后, 总是把头发称一称; 按照王的法码重约两公斤.

14:27 Three sons were born to Absalom and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman beautiful of appearance.
押沙龙生了三个儿子, 一个女儿. 女儿名叫他玛, 是个容貌美丽的女子.

14:28 Absalom lived in Jerusalem two full years, but he did not see the face of the king.
押沙龙在耶路撒冷住了两年, 都没有见王的面.

14:29 So Absalom sent for Joab, in order that he send him to the king, but he was not willing to go to him. He sent again a second time, but he was not willing to go.
押沙龙派人去叫约押来, 要托他去见王, 约押却不肯来见他. 他第二次再派人去叫他, 他还是不肯来.

14:30 So he said to his servants, “Look at the tract of land of Joab next to mine, for he has barley plants there. Go, set it ablaze with fire.” So the servants of Absalom set the tract of land ablaze with fire.
于是押沙龙对仆人说: “你们看, 约押的一块田和我相邻, 田里有大麦. 你们去放火烧田! ”押沙龙的仆人就放火把那块田烧了.

14:31 Then Joab got up and went to Absalom, to the house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my tract of land ablaze with fire?”
于是约押起来, 到了押沙龙的家, 问他: “你的仆人为什么放火烧了我那块田呢? ”

14:32 Absalom said to Joab, “Look, I have sent to you, saying, ‘Come here that I may send you to the king to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there.” ’ So then, let me see the face of the king; if there is guilt in me, then let him kill me.”
押沙龙回答约押: “看哪, 我派人去见你, 说: ‘请你到这里来, 我要托你去见王, 替我说: “我为什么从基述回来呢? 我若是还留在那边, 会觉得更好. ”’现在, 我要见王的面, 如果我有罪, 任由他把我杀死好了. ”

14:33 So Joab went to the king and he told him. Then he summoned Absalom, and he came to the king, and he bowed down to him with his face to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.
于是约押进去见王, 把这事告诉了他, 王就召见押沙龙. 押沙龙进去见王, 在王面前脸伏在地拜他, 王就与押沙龙亲嘴.

II Samuel - Chapter 15

15:1 It happened afterward that Absalom made himself a chariot with horses and fifty men running before him.
这事以后, 押沙龙为自己预备了一辆战车和一些马匹, 又预备了五十人在他前面奔走开路.

15:2 Absalom used to rise early in the morning, and he stood beside the road at the gate; anyone who had a legal dispute to bring to the king for judgment Absalom would call to him and say, “Where are you from?” And he would say, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”
押沙龙常常清早起来, 站在通往城门口的路旁. 有争讼的案件要进去请王判决的人, 押沙龙就把他叫到跟前来, 问他: “你是从哪一座城来的? ”他回答: “仆人是从以色列某一支派来的. ”

15:3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your case is good and right, but for you there is no hearing with the king.”
押沙龙就对他说: “你看! 你的案件有情有理, 但是王并没有委人听你的案子. ”

15:4 Then Absalom would say, “Oh, that someone would appoint me as judge in the land, that anyone might come to me who had a legal dispute or a case, and I would give him justice.”
押沙龙又说: “但愿有人立我作这地的审判官, 这样, 有案件或诉讼的人, 都可以到我这里来, 我就给他公平的审判. ”

15:5 It happened whenever anyone drew near to do obeisance to him, that he would stretch his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.
如果有人走近押沙龙要拜他, 他就伸手拉住他, 并且与他亲嘴.

15:6 Absalom did like this to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the people of Israel.
所有来到王面前请求审决的以色列人, 押沙龙都是这样对待他们. 因此, 押沙龙暗中迷惑了以色列人的心.

15:7 It happened at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I have made to Yahweh in Hebron,
过了四年, 押沙龙对王说: “求你准我到希伯仑去, 好向耶和华还我所许的愿.

15:8 for your servant made a vow while I was staying in Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If Yahweh will indeed let me return to Jerusalem, then I will worship Yahweh.’ ”
因为仆人住在亚兰的基述的时候, 曾经许了一个愿说: ‘如果耶和华使我再回到耶路撒冷来, 我就要在希伯仑事奉他. ’”

15:9 Then the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he got up and went to Hebron.
王对他说: “你平平安安地去吧! ”于是他动身, 往希伯仑去了.

15:10 Then Absalom sent scouts throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “When you hear the sound of the trumpet, you shall shout ‘Absalom has become king in Hebron!’ ”
押沙龙派遣探子到以色列的各支派中, 说: “你们一听见号角的声音, 就说: ‘押沙龙在希伯仑作王了! ’”

15:11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom as invited guests, going in their innocence as they did not know anything.
有二百人从耶路撒冷应邀与押沙龙同去. 他们都是诚诚实实地去, 对内情一点也不知道.

15:12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, the advisor of David, from his city Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. The conspiracy grew in strength, and the people were going and increasing with Absalom.
押沙龙献祭的时候, 差派人去把大卫的参谋基罗人亚希多弗从他的本城基罗请来. 于是叛乱的势力越来越大, 跟随押沙龙的人民也越来越多.

15:13 Then the messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.”
有一个报信的人来见大卫说: “以色列人的心都归向押沙龙了. ”

15:14 Then David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, “Get up and let us flee, for there will be no escape for us from Absalom! Hurry to go, otherwise he will come quickly and overtake us! And he will bring disaster on us and evil! He will attack the city with the edge of the sword!”
大卫就对所有在耶路撒冷与他在一起的臣仆说: “我们要起来逃走, 不然我们就不能逃避押沙龙的面了, 要赶快离开, 恐怕他迅速赶上我们, 使灾难临到我们身上, 用刀击杀全城的人. ”

15:15 Then the servants of the king said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king chooses, your servants are ready to act!”
王的臣仆对王说: “我主我王决定的一切, 仆人都必遵行. ”

15:16 The king went out with all his household following him, but the king left behind ten concubines to look after the house.
于是王出走了, 他的全家都跟在他的后头, 却留下十个妃嫔看守王宫.

15:17 So the king went out with all the people following him, and they stopped at the last house.
王出发了, 众人都跟在他的脚后; 他们在伯．墨哈停下来.

15:18 All his servants were passing by him: all of the Kerethites and all of the Pelethites and all of the Gittites—six hundred men who had followed him from Gath—passing before the king.
王所有的臣仆都从王的身边走过去, 所有的基利提人,比利提人和迦特人, 就是从迦特来跟从王的六百人, 都从王面前走过去.

15:19 The king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you also coming with us? Return and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner; moreover, you are an exile. You are far from your place.
王对迦特人以太说: “你为什么也与我们一同走呢? 回去留在新王那里吧! 因为你是个外族人, 是个远离自己家乡逃到这里来的人.

15:20 Yesterday when you came and today, I have caused you to wander by going with us. Now I am going to where I am going; return and let your brothers return. May loyal love and faithfulness be with you.”
你昨天才来, 我怎可以今天就让你与我们一同流浪呢? 现在我还不知道我要到哪里去. 你回去吧! 带着你的兄弟一同回去吧! 愿耶和华的慈爱和信实与你同在. ”

15:21 But Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives and my lord the king lives, surely in the place wherever my lord the king shall be, if for death or if for life, surely there your servant will be.”
以太回答王说: “我指着永活的耶和华, 在我主我王面前起誓, 无论我主我王在什么地方, 或生或死, 你仆人也必在那里. ”

15:22 Then David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” So Ittai the Gittite passed over and all his men and all of the little children who were with him.
大卫对以太说: “你可以去, 向前走吧! ”迦特人以太就带着所有属他的人, 和与他在一起的妇人孩子都向前走.

15:23 All of the land was weeping with a loud voice as all the people were passing by and the king was crossing through the Wadi Kidron, and all the people were passing on the road to the wilderness.
众人向前走的时候, 遍地的人都放声大哭; 王过了汲沦溪, 众人就都走上通往旷野去的路.

15:24 Suddenly Zadok was there, and all of the Levites with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. They set the ark of God down, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until all the people passed out of the city.
看哪! 撒督也来了, 所有抬神约柜的利未人都与他在一起. 他们把神的约柜放下. 亚比亚他上来, 直到从城里出来的众人都走过去了.

15:25 The king said to Zadok, “Let the ark of God return to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yawheh, he will let me return and let me see him in his dwelling place.
王对撒督说: “把神的约柜抬回城里去吧! 我若是在耶和华眼前蒙恩, 他必使我回来再看到约柜和他安居的地方.

15:26 But if he says, ‘I take no pleasure in you,’ then I am ready. Let him do to me that which is good in his eyes.
他若是说: ‘我不喜悦你. ’看哪! 我就在这里, 他看怎样好, 就怎样对待我吧! ”

15:27 Then the king said to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Return to the city in peace, with Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
王又对撒督祭司说: “你不是先见吗? 平平安安地回到城里去吧! 你的儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单要与你一同回去.

15:28 See, I am waiting at the fords of the wilderness until a word comes from you all to inform me.”
我会在旷野的渡口那里等候, 直到我接到从你们那里来的消息. ”

15:29 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and they remained there.
于是撒督和亚比亚他把神的约柜抬回耶路撒冷去, 并且住在那里.

15:30 Now David was going up on the Ascent of the Olives, weeping as he went, with his head covered and going barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered their head and wept as they went.
大卫走上橄榄山; 他蒙着头, 赤着脚, 一边上, 一边哭, 所有与他在一起的人民也都蒙着头, 一边上, 一边哭.

15:31 Now David was told, “Ahithophel was among the conspirators with Absalom.” Then David said, “Please frustrate the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.”
有人告诉大卫说: “亚希多弗也在押沙龙的叛党之中. ”大卫祷告说: “耶和华啊, 求你使亚希多弗的计谋变为愚拙. ”

15:32 It happened that as David was coming up to the summit where he used to worship God, suddenly Hushai the Arkite was there to meet him. His coat was torn and dirt was on his head.
大卫到了山顶, 就是人敬拜神的地方. 看哪! 有亚基人户筛衣服撕裂, 头蒙灰尘, 在那里迎接他.

15:33 David said to him, “If you move on with me, you will be a burden to me,
大卫对他说: “你若是与我同去; 必成为我的累赘.

15:34 but if you want to return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king. I used to be a servant of your father, but from then and now I will be your servant,’ then you can frustrate the counsel of Ahithophel for me.
如果你回到城里去, 对押沙龙说: ‘王啊! 我愿作你的仆人, 以前我作你父亲的仆人, 现在我也照样作你的仆人. ’这样, 你就可以为我破坏亚希多弗的计谋.

15:35 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be with you there? It shall be that all the words you hear from the house of the king you shall tell Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
撒督祭司和亚比亚他不是都在那里与你在一起吗? 你在王宫里听见的话, 都要告诉撒督祭司和亚比亚他.

15:36 Look, there with them are their two sons, Ahimaaz of Zadok and Jonathan of Abiathar. You shall send to me by means of them all the words that you hear.”
看哪! 还有他们的两个儿子在那里, 就是撒督的儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单. 你们听见的一切, 可以托他们来告诉我. ”

15:37 So Hushai the friend of David came to the city as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.
于是大卫的朋友户筛进了城; 押沙龙也进了耶路撒冷.

II Samuel - Chapter 16

16:1 Now David passed a little from beyond the summit, and suddenly Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him with a pair of saddled donkeys; on them were two hundred loaves of bread and a hundred raisin cakes, with a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.
大卫刚越过山顶不远, 就看见米非波设的仆人洗巴前来迎接他; 又有一对预备好了的驴子, 驴子身上驮着两百个饼, 一百个葡萄干饼, 一百个夏天的果饼和一皮袋酒.

16:2 The king said to Ziba, “What do you want to accomplish by bringing these?” And Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; the bread and the summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for the faint in the wilderness to drink.
王问洗巴: “你为什么带这些东西来? ”洗巴回答: “驴子是给王的家眷骑的, 饼和夏天的果饼是给年轻人吃的, 酒是给在旷野里疲乏的人喝的. ”

16:3 Then the king said, “Where is the son of your lord?” And Ziba said to the king, “He is living in Jerusalem for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel shall return the kingdom of my father to me.’ ”
王又问: “你主人的孙子米非波设在哪里? ”洗巴回答王说: “唉! 他还留在耶路撒冷, 因为他心里想: ‘以色列家会把我祖父扫罗的王国归还给我. ’”

16:4 The king said to Ziba, “Look, all that was Mephibosheth’s is yours.” Ziba said, “I hereby do obeisance; may I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”
王对洗巴说: “看哪! 凡属米非波设所有的, 都归给你了. ”洗巴说: “我叩拜我主我王, 愿我在你眼前蒙恩! ”

16:5 King David came up to Bahurim and suddenly a man from there was coming out from the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Shimei the son of Gera. He was cursing as he came out.
大卫王来到巴户琳的时候, 忽然有一人从那里出来, 他是属扫罗家族的, 名叫示每, 是基拉的儿子. 他一边出来, 一边咒骂;

16:6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David and at all the people and at all the mighty warriors on his right and on his left.
又拿石头投掷大卫和大卫王所有的臣仆, 那时众人和众勇士都在王的左右.

16:7 Shimei said while cursing him, “Go out, go out, you man of bloodshed, you man of wickedness.
示每咒骂的时候, 这样说: “你这流人血的人啊, 滚开! 你这无赖啊, 滚开!

16:8 Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of the household of Saul whom you have supplanted as king, and Yahweh has given the kingship into the hand of Absalom your son. Look, you are in disaster for you are a man of blood.”
你流了扫罗全家的血, 接替扫罗作王, 耶和华已经把这罪报应在你身上; 耶和华已经把这国交在你儿子押沙龙的手里. 看哪! 你现在自取其祸了, 因为你是个流人血的人. ”

16:9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛对王说: “为什么让这条死狗咒骂我主我王呢? 让我过去, 把他的头砍下来. ”

16:10 The king said, “What do we have in common, sons of Zeruiah? If he curses because Yahweh has said to him ‘Curse David,’ who can say, “Why have you done this?”
王说: “洗鲁雅的儿子啊, 我与你们有什么关系呢? 如果他咒骂是因为耶和华对他说: ‘你要咒骂大卫! ’那么谁敢说: ‘你为什么这样作呢? ’”

16:11 David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Look, my son who came out of my loins is seeking my life. Now as far as this Benjaminite, leave him alone and let him curse, for Yahweh has spoken to him.
大卫又对亚比筛和他所有的臣仆说: “看哪! 连我亲生的儿子尚且寻索我的命, 何况这便雅悯人呢? 由他去吧, 由他咒骂吧! 因为这是耶和华吩咐他的.

16:12 Perhaps Yahweh will look in my eye and repay good for me in place of his curse this day.
也许耶和华看见我的苦难, 就施恩与我, 以取代今天这人对我的咒骂. ”

16:13 Then David and his men went on the road, with Shimei going on the side of the hill beside him, cursing as he went. He threw stones beside him and threw dust in the air.
于是大卫和跟从他的人继续在大路上往前去. 示每也沿着山坡, 与大卫并排而行, 一边走, 一边咒骂, 又用石头投掷他, 拿尘土扬他.

16:14 When the king and all of the people who were with him arrived, he was weary, so he recovered there.
王和所有与他在一起的人到了一个地方, 都觉得累了, 就在那里舒展一下.

16:15 Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, had come to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
押沙龙和以色列众人进了耶路撒冷, 亚希多弗也与押沙龙在一起.

16:16 When Hushai the Arkite the friend of David came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king, long live the king!”
大卫的朋友亚基人户筛去见押沙龙, 对他说: “愿王万岁! 愿王万岁! ”

16:17 Absalom said to Hushai, “This is your loyal love with your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”
押沙龙问户筛: “你就以这样的‘慈爱’待你的朋友吗? 你为什么没有与你的朋友一同走呢? ”

16:18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “No, rather, whom Yahweh and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, to him I will be, and with him I will remain.
户筛回答押沙龙: “不! 耶和华和这民, 以及以色列众人所拣选的, 我应该归属他, 与他在一起.

16:19 Furthermore, for whom have I served? Is it not in the presence of his son that I have served before your father? So shall I serve you!”
再者, 我要事奉谁呢? 不是前王的儿子吗? 我以前怎样事奉你的父亲, 我现在也必怎样事奉你. ”

16:20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your advice. What shall we do?”
押沙龙对亚希多弗说: “你们出个主意, 我们应该怎样行才好? ”

16:21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go to the concubines of your father whom he left behind to watch over the house, then all of Israel will hear that you made yourself odious to your father, and all of your followers will be motivated!”
亚希多弗对押沙龙说: “你去与你父亲留下来看守王宫的那些妃嫔亲近, 这样以色列众人听见你与你父亲已经完全决裂, 所有跟随你的人的手就都更坚强了. ”

16:22 Then they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he went in to the concubines of his father before the eyes of all Israel.
于是有人为押沙龙在王宫的平顶上搭了一座帐棚, 押沙龙就在以色列众人眼前与他父亲的妃嫔亲近.

16:23 The counsel that Ahithophel gave in those days was regarded as when a man inquired of the word of God, so all the counsel of Ahithophel was esteemed both by David and by Absalom.
那时, 亚希多弗所出的策略, 好像是人求问神得来的话一样. 亚希多弗为大卫, 或为押沙龙所出的策略都是这样.

II Samuel - Chapter 17

17:1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out and pursue after David tonight.
亚希多弗又对押沙龙说: “求你准我挑选一万二千人, 今晚我要动身去追赶大卫,

17:2 I will come upon him while he is weary and weak. I will startle him, and all of the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king while he is alone.
趁他疲乏手软的时候, 忽然追上他, 使他惊惶失措, 与他在一起的人就必逃跑; 我只要单单击杀王一人,

17:3 Then I will return all the people to you; when all have returned, the man whom you are seeking will be dead, but all the people will be safe.”
使众人都来归你. 你所寻索的那个人一死, 众人就都归你了, 众人也可以平安无事. ”

17:4 The word was right in the eyes of Absalom and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
押沙龙和以色列的众长老都看这事为美.

17:5 Then Absalom said, “Please call also for Hushai the Arkite, and let us hear what he has to say also.”
押沙龙说: “把亚基人户筛召来, 我们也听听他怎么说. ”

17:6 So Hushai came to Absalom, who said to him, “Shall we do according to this word that Ahithophel has spoken? If not, then you tell us.”
于是户筛来见押沙龙, 押沙龙问他说: “亚希多弗说了这样的话, 我们可以照着他的话去行吗? 如果不可以, 请你提议吧! ”

17:7 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel gave is not good at this time.”
户筛回答押沙龙: “亚希多弗这次计划的谋略不好. ”

17:8 Hushai continued, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty warriors and they are enraged as a bear robbed of her offspring in the field. Your father is a man of war, so he will not spend the night with the troops.
户筛又说: “你知道你父亲和那些跟随他的人都是勇士; 他们凶恶威猛, 好像野地里丧子的母熊一样; 并且你父亲是个战士, 必不会与众人在一起住宿.

17:9 Now he has hidden himself in one of the caves or in one of the places. At the moment he falls on them the first time, whoever hears the report will say, ‘There has been a defeat among the people who follow after Absalom.’
现在他或躺在一个坑中, 或在另一个地方, 如果他首先攻击你的手下, 听见的人就必说: ‘跟从押沙龙的人被杀了! ’

17:10 And he is also a valiant warrior, whose heart is like the heart of the lion. He will certainly melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty warrior and those who are with him are valiant warriors.
那时, 纵使有人像狮子一般勇敢, 心里也必惊慌, 因为全以色列都知道你父亲是个勇士, 跟随他的人都是英勇的人.

17:11 I give the advice that all of Israel from Dan to Beersheba should be completely gathered to you, as the sand which is on the seashore for abundance, with you personally going into the battle.
因此, 我建议把以色列众人, 从但到别是巴, 都聚集到你这里来, 好像海边的沙那样多, 然后你亲自率领他们上战场.

17:12 Then we will come to him in one of the places where he may be found, and we shall come upon him as the dew falls on the ground. He and all the men who are with him will not survive, not even one!
无论我们在哪一个地方找到大卫, 就攻击他; 我们临到他, 像露水降在地上一样. 这样, 他和跟随他的人, 就一个也不会留下.

17:13 Even if he withdraws to a city, all Israel will bring up ropes to that city, and they will drag him away to the valley until there is not even a pebble to be found.”
如果他退入城里去, 以色列众人就要带绳子到那城去, 我们要把那城拉到河里去, 使那里连一块小石头也找不到. ”

17:14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Arkite is better than the advice of Ahithophel.” (Now Yahweh had ordained to frustrate the good counsel of Ahithophel in order for Yahweh to bring misery upon Absalom).
押沙龙和以色列众人都说: “亚基人户筛的谋略比亚希多弗的好. ”因为耶和华定意要破坏亚希多弗的好计谋, 为要降灾祸给押沙龙.

17:15 Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, but thus and so I have advised.
于是户筛对撒督祭司和亚比亚他说: “亚希多弗为押沙龙和以色列的众长老所策定的谋略是这样这样的, 我所策定的谋略又是这样这样的.

17:16 So then, send quickly and tell David, ‘Don’t spend the night at the fords of the wilderness! Moreover, by all means cross over lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.’ ”
现在你们要赶快派人去告诉大卫: ‘今天晚上你不可在旷野的渡口住宿, 务要过河, 免得王和跟随他的众人都被吞灭. ’”

17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel, so a servant girl used to go and tell them, then they would go and tell King David, for they were not able to be seen coming to the city.
那时, 约拿单和亚希玛斯停留在隐．罗结, 他们不敢进城, 怕被人看见. 有一个婢女经常出来, 把话告诉他们, 然后他们再去告诉大卫王.

17:18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom, so both of them went quickly and came to the house of a man at Bahurim. Now he had a well in his courtyard, so they went down there.
但有一个仆人看见他们, 就去告诉押沙龙. 因此, 他们两人急忙离开那里, 来到巴户琳某人的家里; 那人的院子里有一口井, 他们就下到井里.

17:19 Then the woman took and spread a covering over the opening of the well; then she spread out dried grain on it, so nothing was discovered.
那家的主妇拿了一块大布, 盖在井口上, 又在上面铺了一些麦子, 所以没有人知道这件事.

17:20 When the servants of Absalom came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And she said to them, “They crossed over the brook of water.” So they searched but could not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.
押沙龙的臣仆到这家来见那妇人, 问她: “亚希玛斯和约拿单在哪里? ”那妇人回答他们说: “他们已经过了河了. ”于是臣仆搜索他们, 却没有找着, 就都回耶路撒冷去了.

17:21 After they left, they came up from the well and went and told King David. They said to David, “Set out and cross over the water quickly, for thus Ahithophel has advised against you.”
他们走了以后, 两人从井里上来, 去告诉大卫王, 对大卫说: “你们要起来, 赶快过河, 因为亚希多弗已经定了这样这样的谋略攻击你们. ”

17:22 So David and all the people who were with him set out, and they crossed over the Jordan until morning light until there was no one missing who had not crossed over the Jordan.
于是大卫和跟随他的众人都起来, 渡过约旦河; 到了天亮, 没有一人还没有渡过约旦河的.

17:23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled the donkey, and he set out and went up to his house in his city. After he set his house in order, he hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his ancestors.
亚希多弗见自己的谋略不被采纳, 就预备了驴子, 起程往本城自己的家去. 他安排好了家里的事, 就上吊死了, 埋葬在他父亲的坟墓里.

17:24 Now David had come to Mahanaim, and Absalom had crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
大卫到了玛哈念, 押沙龙和跟随他的以色列众人也都过了约旦河.

17:25 Absalom had appointed Amasa in place of Joab over the army. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who had married Abigail the daughter of Nahash the sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.
押沙龙派亚玛撒统率军队, 作军队的元帅, 取代约押. 亚玛撒是以实玛利人以特拉的儿子. 以特拉曾经与拿辖的女儿亚比该亲近过; 亚比该和约押的母亲洗鲁雅是姊妹.

17:26 Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
以色列人和押沙龙都在基列地安营.

17:27 Just as David had arrived in Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites and Makir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim
大卫到了玛哈念的时候, 亚扪族的拉巴人拿辖的儿子朔比,罗．底巴人亚米利的儿子玛吉,基列的罗基琳人巴西莱,

17:28 brought beds and basins and objects of pottery, as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
带来寝具,碗盘,瓦器,小麦,大麦,面粉,炒麦,豆子,红豆,炒豆,

17:29 honey, curds, sheep, cheese, and cattle for David and for the people who were with him to eat. For they had thought, “The troops are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
蜂蜜,奶油,绵羊和乳酪送给大卫和跟随他的人吃, 因为他们说: “这些人在旷野一定又饥饿, 又疲倦, 又口渴了. ”

II Samuel - Chapter 18

18:1 Then David mustered the people who were with him, and he appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
大卫数点了跟随他的人, 亦立千夫长,百夫长率领他们.

18:2 David sent forth a third of the troops under the command of Joab, and a third under the command of Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the remaining third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the troops, “I, even I, will certainly go out with you.”
大卫派遣众人出战: 三分之一在约押手下, 三分之一在约押的兄弟,洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛手下, 三分之一在迦特人以太手下. 大卫对众人说: “我也必与你们一同出战. ”

18:3 Then the troops said, “You will not go out, for if we must flee, then they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us, but now, you are like ten thousand of us. And so then, it is better for us that you be in the city to help.”
众人却说: “你不可以出战. 因为如果我们逃跑, 他们不会把我们放在心上, 即使我们死了一半, 他们也不会把我们放在心上. 因为你一个人抵得上我们一万人; 所以你最好还是留在城里, 随时支援我们. ”

18:4 The king said to them, “I will do what seems good in your eyes.” So the king stood at the side of the gate while all of the troops went out by hundreds and by thousands.
王对他们说: “你们看怎么好, 我就怎样作吧! ”于是王站在城门旁边, 众人组成百人一队或千人一队出发了.

18:5 The king ordered Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “With respect to the young man Absalom, deal gently for me.” And all the troops heard when the king ordered all of the commanders concerning the matter of Absalom.
王吩咐约押,亚比筛和以太说: “为我的缘故, 你们要宽待那年轻人押沙龙. ”王为押沙龙吩咐众将领的话, 众人都听到了.

18:6 The army went out to the field to meet Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim.
众人出到田野迎战以色列人; 战争发生在以法莲的树林里.

18:7 The army of Israel was defeated there before the servants of David, and the defeat there was great on that day: twenty thousand.
在那里, 以色列人在大卫的臣仆面前被打败了; 那天被杀的人很多, 共有二万人.

18:8 The battle there was spreading over the surface of all the land, and the forest devoured more among the army than the sword did on that day.
战事在那里蔓延到全地; 那一天, 树林所吞灭的比刀剑所吞灭的更多.

18:9 Absalom was found in the presence of the servants of David as he was riding on the mule. The mule went under the thicket of the great oak tree, and his head was caught in the tree. He was left hanging between heaven and earth, and the mule which was under him went on.
押沙龙偶然遇上了大卫的臣仆. 那时押沙龙骑着骡子, 骡子从一棵大橡树茂密的树枝下经过, 押沙龙的头发被橡树枝紧紧勾住, 他就吊在空中, 他所骑的骡子却跑开了.

18:10 When a certain man saw it, he told Joab, and he said, “Look, I saw Absalom hanging in the oak tree!”
有一个人看见了, 就告诉约押说: “看哪! 我看见押沙龙悬在一棵橡树上. ”

18:11 Then Joab said to the man who was telling him, “Look, if you saw, why did you not strike him down to the ground there? I would have gladly given you ten pieces of silver and a leather belt.”
约押对那向他报告的人说: “你既然看见了, 为什么不当场把他击杀, 落在地上呢? 那样, 我就赏赐你一百一十四克银子和一条腰带. ”

18:12 The man said to Joab, “Even if I felt the weight of a thousand pieces of silver in my palms, I would not have sent my hand against the son of the king, for in our ears the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Whoever you may be, protect the young man Absalom.’
那人回答约押: “就是量十一公斤银子放在我手中, 我也不敢伸手伤害王的儿子, 因为我们亲耳听见王吩咐你,亚比筛和以太说: ‘你们要为我的缘故, 照顾那年轻人押沙龙. ’

18:13 If I had dealt treacherously against his life, and there is not any matter hidden from the king, you would have presented yourself aloof.”
我若是胆大妄为伤害了他的性命, 那时你也不会维护我. ”

18:14 Joab said, “No longer will I wait in your presence.” Then he took three spears in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak tree.
约押说: “我不能与你这样耽误时间. ”于是约押手里拿起三根短矛, 趁押沙龙还悬挂在橡树上的时候, 就刺透了他的心.

18:15 Then ten of the young men who bore the weapons of Joab surrounded him and struck and killed Absalom.
给约押拿武器的十个年轻人围着押沙龙, 攻击他, 把他杀死.

18:16 Then Joab blew on the trumpet and the troops returned from pursuing after Israel, for Joab kept back the troops.
约押吹响号角, 众人就回来, 不再追赶以色列人; 因为约押拦阻众人继续追赶.

18:17 They took Absalom and they threw him into the large pit in the forest and raised a very great heap of stones over him. Then all of Israel fled, each to his tent.
他们把押沙龙的尸体抬起来, 丢在树林中的一个大坑里, 又在上面堆起一大堆石头. 以色列众人都逃跑, 各回自己的家去了.

18:18 (Now Absalom had taken and set up for himself in his lifetime a stone pillar that is in the valley of the king, because he said, “I have no son in order to remember my name,” and he called the stone pillar by his name. It is called the monument of Absalom until this day).
押沙龙生前曾在王谷为自己立了一根石柱, 因为他想: “我没有儿子记念我的名字. ”他就以自己的名字称那石柱. 因此人称那石柱为押沙龙柱, 直到今日.

18:19 Now Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and bring the good news to the king that Yahweh has vindicated him from the hand of his enemies.”
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯说: “让我跑去, 把这好消息向王报告, 就是耶和华已经把他从仇敌的手中拯救出来了. ”

18:20 Joab said to him, “You will not be a man bringing good news this day! You may bring good news on another day, but today you will not be bringing good news because the king’s son is dead.”
约押对他说: “你今天不可去报消息, 改天才可以去报. 你今天不可去报消息, 因为王的儿子死了. ”

18:21 Then Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen”; then the Cushite bowed down to Joab and ran off.
于是约押对一个古实人说: “你去把你所看见的告诉王吧! ”那古实人叩拜了约押, 就跑去了.

18:22 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok again said to Joab, “Come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.” Joab asked, “Why are you wanting to run, my son, when for you there is no messenger’s reward?”
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯又对约押说: “不管怎样, 请让我也跟着那古实人跑去. ”约押说: “你为什么要跑去呢? 我儿, 你是不会得到报消息的赏赐的. ”

18:23 “Come what may, I want to run.” He said to him, “Run,” so Ahimaaz ran on the road on the plain, and he passed the Cushite.
“不管怎样, 请让我跑去! ”于是约押对他说: “你跑去吧! ”亚希玛斯就沿着约旦河大道跑去, 赶过了那古实人.

18:24 Now David was sitting between the two gates, and the sentinel went up to the roof of the gate by the wall and he lifted up his eyes and watched, and look, a man was running by himself.
那时, 大卫正坐在内外城门中间的地方. 守望的人上到城楼的平顶上, 举目观看, 见有一个人独自跑来.

18:25 The sentry called and told the king, and the king said, “If he is alone, good news is in his mouth.” He kept coming closer.
守望的人就喊叫, 把这事告诉王; 王说: “他若是单独一人, 必是来报好消息的. ”那人越走越近了.

18:26 Then the sentinel saw another man running, so the sentinel called to the gatekeeper and said, “Look, a man running alone.” The king said, “This one also is bringing good news.”
后来, 守望的人又看见另一个人跑来, 就对守城门的人喊叫, 说: “看哪! 又有一个人独自跑来! ”王说: “这也必是来报好消息的. ”

18:27 The sentinel said, “I am seeing that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zakok.” The king said, “He is a good man; he will come, for good news.”
守望的人说: “我看前头那人的跑法好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样. ”王说: “他是个好人, 必是带好消息来的. ”

18:28 Then Ahimaaz called and said to the king, “Peace.” He bowed down to the king with his face to the ground, and he said, “May Yahweh your God be blessed, who has delivered the men who raised their hand against my lord the king.”
亚希玛斯向王呼叫, 说: “平安! ”就脸伏于地, 叩拜王, 说: “耶和华你的神是应当称颂的, 因为他已经把举手攻击我主我王的人交给你了! ”

18:29 The king said, “Is it peace for the young man Absalom?” Ahimaaz said, “I saw the great commotion when Joab the servant of the king sent your servant, but I do not know what it was all about.”
王问: “那年轻人押沙龙平安不平安? ”亚希玛斯回答: “约押差派王的仆人, 就是你的仆人我来的时候, 我看见有大动乱, 却不知道是什么事. ”

18:30 Then the king said, “Turn aside, take your place here,” so he turned aside and waited.
王说: “你退到一旁, 站在那里! ”他就退到一旁, 站在那里.

18:31 Suddenly the Cushite arrived and said, “May my lord the king receive the good news, for Yahweh has vindicated you today from the power of all who stood up against you.”
那古实人也到了. 他说: “有好消息报给我主我王; 今天耶和华已经救你脱离那些起来攻击你的人的手了! ”

18:32 The king said to the Cushite, “Is it peace for the young man Absalom?” Then the Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up against you to harm you be like the young man!”
王问古实人: “那年轻人押沙龙平安吗? ”古实人回答: “愿我主我王的仇敌和一切来攻击你,伤害你的人, 都像那年轻人一样. ”

18:33 The king was upset, and he went up to the upper room of the gate and wept. He said as he went, “My son, Absalom, my son, my son, Absalom. If only I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son.”
王悲恸得全身发抖, 就上城楼去哀哭. 他一面走一面这样说: “我儿押沙龙啊! 我儿, 我儿押沙龙啊! 但愿我替你死. 押沙龙啊! 我儿, 我儿啊! ”

II Samuel - Chapter 19

19:1 And it was told to Joab that the king was weeping and he mourned over Absalom,
有人告诉约押: “看哪! 王正在为押沙龙悲哀哭泣. ”

19:2 so the victory turned to mourning on that day for all the army, because they had heard that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”
那一天, 众人胜利的欢乐变成了悲哀, 因为他们听说王为他的儿子伤痛.

19:3 The army came secretly into the city on that day because the army was disgraced when they fled in the battle,
那一天, 众人偷偷进城, 就像军人从战场上逃跑, 羞愧地偷偷回来一样.

19:4 and because the king had covered his face and cried with a loud voice, “My son, Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.”
王蒙着脸, 大声哀哭, 说: “我儿押沙龙啊! 押沙龙, 我儿, 我儿啊! ”

19:5 Then Joab came to the king’s house and said, “Today you have humiliated the faces of all of your servants who have saved your life this day, and the life of your sons and your daughters, the life of your wives, and the life of your concubines,
约押进了屋子去见王, 说: “你所有的臣仆今天救了你的性命, 和你儿女妻室的性命, 你今天却使他们满面羞愧;

19:6 by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. Indeed, you have made clear this day that you have no regard for your commanders or officers, for I have realized today that were Absalom alive, and all of us were dead, then that would have been right in your eyes!
你爱那些恨你的, 恨那些爱你的. 因为你今天表明了你不重视将帅和臣仆; 我今天才明白, 如果押沙龙活着, 我们大家都死去, 你就欢喜了.

19:7 So then, get up and go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by Yahweh, if you do not go out, no man will lodge this night with you, and this disaster will be greater for you than any disaster that has come upon you from your childhood until now!”
现在请你起来, 出去, 说些安慰你仆人们的话. 我指着耶和华起誓, 如果你不出去, 今夜就必没有一人留下来与你在一起. 这祸患就比你从幼年到现在所遭受的一切祸患更厉害了. ”

19:8 So the king got up and he sat in the gate, and they told all the army, “Look, the king is sitting in the gate.” Then all the army came before the king; whereas all of Israel had fled, each to his tent.
于是王起来, 坐在城门口. 有人告诉众民说: “看哪! 王坐在城门口. ”于是众人都来到王的面前. 以色列人已经逃跑, 各回自己的家去了.

19:9 Then it happened that all the people were disputing among all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies, and he saved us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.
以色列众支派的人都纷纷议论, 说: “王曾经拯救我们脱离仇敌的手, 又救了我们脱离非利士人的手, 现在他却躲避押沙龙, 离开这地逃走了.

19:10 Now Absalom whom we anointed as king over us has died in the battle; so then, why are you taking no action to restore the king?”
我们所膏立统治我们的押沙龙, 已经在战场上死了. 现在你们为什么不出声请王回来呢? ”

19:11 Then King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah: ‘Why are you last to bring back the king to his house? The talk of all Israel has come to the king in his house.
大卫王派人去见撒督祭司和亚比亚他, 说: “你们要对犹大的众长老说: ‘你们为什么在请王回宫的事上落在人后头呢? 全以色列请王回宫的话已经传到王和王宫那里去了.

19:12 My brothers, you are my bones and you are my flesh. Why should you be the last to bring back the king?’
你们是我的兄弟, 我的骨肉至亲, 为什么在请王回来的事上, 倒落在人后头呢? ’

19:13 To Amasa you shall say: ‘Are you not my bones and my flesh? May God punish me if you are not the commander of my army before me forever, in place of Joab.’ ”
你们又要对亚玛撒说: ‘你不是我的骨肉至亲吗? 我若不立你代替约押, 在我面前作军队的元帅, 愿神重重地惩罚我, 并且加倍严厉地惩罚我. ’”

19:14 So he turned the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they sent word to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.”
这样, 大卫挽回了犹大众人的心, 好像一人的心. 于是他们差派人去见王, 说: “请你和你的众臣仆都回来! ”

19:15 Then the king returned and he came to the Jordan; Judah had come to Gilgal to come to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
王就回来, 到了约旦河. 犹大人也来到吉甲, 要去迎接王, 接王过约旦河.

19:16 Then Shimei the son of Gera, the son of the Benjaminite, who was from Bahurim quickly came down with the men of Judah to meet King David,
巴户琳的便雅悯人, 基拉的儿子示每, 急忙与犹大人一同下去迎接大卫王.

19:17 and a thousand men were with him from Benjamin. Too, Ziba the servant of the household of Saul and fifteen of his sons and twenty of his servants were with him, and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.
与示每同来的有一千便雅悯人, 还有扫罗家的仆人洗巴, 和他的十五个儿子, 以及二十个仆人. 他们都冲过约旦河去迎接王.

19:18 The crossing took place to bring the household of the king over and to do good in his eyes. Then Shimei the son of Gera fell before the king when he crossed over the Jordan,
有人渡过渡口, 把王的家眷接过去, 并且照着王的心意去作. 大卫过约旦河的时候, 基拉的儿子示每俯伏在王面前,

19:19 and he said to the king, “May not my lord hold me guilty, and may you not remember how your servant did wrong on the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, by taking it to heart!
对王说: “我主我王从耶路撒冷出来的那一天, 你仆人所犯的错, 现在求我主不要归罪于我, 求你不要记念, 求王也不要放在心上.

19:20 For your servant knows that I have sinned; look, I have come this day as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
因为你的仆人知道自己犯了罪, 所以你看, 在约瑟全家之中, 今天我是第一个下来迎接我主我王的. ”

19:21 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah responded and said, “Because of this, should not Shimei be put to death, for he cursed the anointed one of Yahweh?”
洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛回答说: “示每咒骂了耶和华的受膏者, 岂不该因此把他处死吗? ”

19:22 Then David said, “What is it to me or to you, sons of Zeruiah, that you should be an adversary today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel? Do I not know today that I am king over Israel?”
大卫说: “洗鲁雅的儿子们啊, 我与你们有什么关系呢? 今天你们竟与我作对! 今天在以色列中, 岂可有人被处死呢? 难道我不知道今天我作以色列的王吗? ”

19:23 Then the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die,” and so the king swore to him.
于是王对示每说: “你一定不会被处死! ”王又向他起誓.

19:24 Now, Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; he had not taken care of his feet nor trimmed his moustache nor washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he came back in peace.
扫罗的孙子米非波设也下去迎接王. 他自从王出走那天, 直到王平平安安回来的日子, 都没有修脚, 没有刮胡子, 也没有洗衣服.

19:25 It happened that when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?”
他从耶路撒冷来迎接王的时候, 王问他: “米非波设啊, 你为什么没有与我一同离开呢? ”

19:26 Then he said, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me, for your servant had said, ‘Let me saddle the donkey that I may ride on her and go with the king,’ for your servant is lame.
他回答: “我主我王, 你仆人是瘸腿的; 那天, 我心里想我要预备驴子, 可以骑上, 与王一同离开, 但是我的仆人却欺骗了我,

19:27 But he slandered against your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like the angel of God; do as you see fit..”
又在我主我王面前毁谤你仆人. 但我主我王像神的使者一样, 现在, 你看怎样好, 就怎样行吧!

19:28 For there was no one in all the house of my father who were not doomed to death before my lord the king, but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. Do I have any righteousness any longer except to cry out to the king?”
因为我祖父全家的人, 在我主我王面前都算不得什么, 都不过是该死的人; 你却使仆人在你席上与你一同吃饭. 我还有什么权利再向王哀求什么呢? ”

19:29 Then the king said to him, “Why should you speak any more about the matter? I have decided: you and Ziba shall divide the land.”
王就对他说: “你为什么再提你的事呢? 我已经决定, 你与洗巴要均分那地. ”

19:30 Then Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him take the whole thing, since my lord the king has come safely to his house.”
米非波设对王说: “我主我王既然已平平安安回宫, 所有的一切就都任凭洗巴拿去好了. ”

19:31 Then Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim and crossed with the king over the Jordan to escort him through the Jordan.
基列人巴西莱也从罗基琳下来, 与王一同过约旦河, 要在约旦河边给王送行.

19:32 Now Barzillai was very old, eighty years old. Now he had provided the king with food while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.
巴西莱年纪非常老迈, 已经八十岁. 王住在巴户琳的时候, 是他供养王的, 因为他是一个很富有的人.

19:33 The king said to Barzillai, “You cross over with me, and I will provide for you to dwell with me in Jerusalem.”
王对巴西莱说: “你与我一同过河去, 在耶路撒冷与我同住, 我要供养你. ”

19:34 Then Barzillai said to the king, “What are the days of the years of my life, that I should go with the king to Jerusalem?
巴西莱对王说: “我活着的年日还能有多少, 可使我与王一同上耶路撒冷呢?

19:35 I am eighty years old today. Can I discern between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be a burden any longer to my lord the king?
我现在已经八十岁了, 还能分别美丑吗? 你仆人还能尝出吃喝的味道吗? 我还能细听男女歌手的声音吗? 你仆人为什么要负累我主我王呢?

19:36 Your servant shall go over the Jordan with the king a little way, but why should the king recompense me with this reward?
你仆人只不过与王一同过约旦河, 王为什么要这样赏赐我呢?

19:37 Please let your servant return, and let me die in my city in the tomb of my father and my mother. Here is your servant Kimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him that which is good in your eyes.”
请让你仆人回去, 好死在我自己的城里, 埋葬在我父母的坟墓旁. 看哪, 你仆人金罕在这里, 请让他与我主我王一同过河; 你看怎么好, 就怎么待他吧! ”

19:38 The king said, “Let Kimham go over with me, and I will do for him the good in your eyes, and all that you desire of me I will do for you.”
王说: “金罕可以与我一同过河. 你看怎么好, 我就怎么待他. 你向我所要求的, 我都必为你成全. ”

19:39 Then all the people crossed over the Jordan, and the king crossed and kissed Barzillai and blessed him; then he returned to his place.
于是众人都渡过约旦河, 王也渡过了. 王与巴西莱亲嘴, 为他祝福, 巴西莱就回自己的地方去了.

19:40 The king went over to Gilgal, and Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah went over with the king, and half of the people of Israel too.
王过了河, 到了吉甲, 金罕也与王一同渡河. 所有的犹大人和半数以色列人, 也都与王一同渡河.

19:41 Suddenly, all the men of Israel were coming to the king. They said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen away and brought the king and his household over the Jordan, with all the men of David?”
以色列众人都来见王, 问王说: “我们的兄弟犹大人为什么把你偷去了, 把王和王的家眷接过约旦河呢? 属大卫的人不都一样是他的人民吗? ”

19:42 Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is my close relative! Why are you this angry over this matter? Have we by any means eaten anything from the king? Did we take by any means anything that was not ours?”
犹大众人回答以色列人说: “因为王与我们的关系亲密. 你们为什么因这事而生气呢? 我们从王那里得到什么吃的呢? 或是他给了我们什么礼物呢? ”

19:43 Then the people of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, “I have ten times as much in the king, moreover in David I have more than you. Why did you treat me with contempt by not giving me first chance to bring back my king?” But the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the word of the men of Israel.
以色列人回答犹大人说: “在王的事上, 我们有十分的投入. 在大卫身上, 我们也与大卫比你们更有情分. 你们为什么轻视我们呢? 先说要请我们的王回来的, 不是我们吗? ”但是犹大人的话比以色列人的话更强硬.

II Samuel - Chapter 20

20:1 Now a man of wickedness was found there whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite. He blew the horn and said, “There is no share for us in David, and there is no inheritance for us in the son of Jesse; each to his tents, O Israel!”
在那里恰巧有一个流氓名叫示巴, 是便雅悯人比基利的儿子. 他吹号角, 说: “我们在大卫的身上无分, 在耶西的儿子身上无干, 以色列人哪! 各回自己的帐棚去吧! ”

20:2 Then all the men of Israel went up from following after David, following instead after Sheba the son of Bicri, but the men of Judah stuck to their king from the Jordan up to Jerusalem.
于是以色列众人都上山去, 不跟随大卫, 却跟随了比基利的儿子示巴; 犹大人却紧紧跟随他们的王, 从约旦河直到耶路撒冷.

20:3 David went up to his house in Jerusalem, then the king took the ten concubines whom he had left to look after the house, and he put them under confinement. However, he provided for them, but he did not sleep with them. So they were confined until the day of their death, like a lifetime of widowhood.
大卫王回到耶路撒冷自己的宫里, 就把以前留下来看守王宫的那十个妃嫔捉起来, 关在禁宫里. 王供养她们, 却不再亲近她们. 她们被禁闭, 过着寡妇一般的生活, 直到死的日子.

20:4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon for me the men of Judah within three days, and be here yourself.”
王对亚玛撒说: “你要在三天之内把犹大人召集到我这里来. 你自己也要在这里. ”

20:5 So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he tarried more than the appointed time which he had set for him.
亚玛撒就去召集犹大人. 他却耽延, 超过了王限定的日期.

20:6 Then David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bicri will do us more harm than Absalom. You take the servants of your lord and pursue after him, lest he find fortified cities for himself and escape from us.”
大卫对亚比筛说: “现在比基利的儿子示巴要加害我们, 比押沙龙更甚. 你要带着你主人的仆人去追赶他, 免得他找到了设防的城镇, 就避过我们的眼目, 从我们的手中逃脱了. ”

20:7 Then the men of Joab, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty warriors went out after him; they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba the son of Bicri.
于是约押的人, 基利提人,比利提人和所有的勇士, 都跟随亚比筛出去. 他们从耶路撒冷出去, 追赶比基利的儿子示巴.

20:8 They were near the big rock that is in Gibeon, and Amasa came before them. Joab was dressed in his military clothing, with a utility belt on him and a sword strapped to his waist in its scabbard. Now he went out, and it fell out.
他们到了基遍的大磐石那里, 亚玛撒来与他们会合. 那时约押穿着战衣, 腰间束着佩刀的带子, 刀在鞘里. 他往前走的时候, 刀掉了下来.

20:9 Then Joab said to Amasa, “Is it peace, O you my brother?” Then the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard of Amasa as if to kiss him.
约押对亚玛撒说: “我的兄弟, 你好吗? ”约押用右手握住亚玛撒的胡子, 要与他亲嘴.

20:10 Now Amasa was not on his guard against the sword that was in Joab’s hand, and he struck him with it into the stomach, and his entrails poured out to the ground. He did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bicri.
亚玛撒没有防备约押手中的刀, 约押用这刀刺进他的肚子, 他的内脏就流在地上. 不用再刺第二刀, 亚玛撒就死了. 约押和他的兄弟亚比筛继续追赶比基利的儿子示巴.

20:11 A young man stood over him, from the young men of Joab, and he said, “Whoever takes delight in Joab and whoever is for David, follow after Joab.”
约押的仆从之中, 有一个人站在亚玛撒的尸体旁边, 说: “谁喜欢约押, 谁归顺大卫, 就当跟随约押去! ”

20:12 Now Amasa was wallowing in the blood in the middle of the highway; when the man saw that all the people stood there, he turned Amasa over from the highway into the field, and he threw a garment over him because he had seen that all who had come by him had stopped.
亚玛撒在大道当中, 辊在自己的血里. 那人看见经过的众人都站住, 就把亚玛撒的尸体从大道上拖到田里, 又扔一件衣服把他盖住, 因为他看见众人来到亚玛撒的尸体旁边都站住.

20:13 After he was removed from the highway, all the men passed by after Joab to pursue after Sheba the son of Bicri.
尸体从大道上挪去以后, 众人就都过去, 跟随约押去追赶比基利的儿子示巴.

20:14 (He had passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maacah; now all of the Berites had been treated badly, so they also followed after him.)
示巴走遍以色列各支派, 直到伯．玛迦的亚比拉和比利人的全境, 他们聚集起来跟随他.

20:15 And they came and besieged him in Abel Beth Maacah. They threw up a siege ramp against the city, and they stood against the ramparts. And all the army who were with Joab were battering to cause the wall to fall.
所有跟随约押的人都来了, 把示巴围困在伯．玛迦的亚比拉. 他们对着城筑起攻城的土垒, 高度与城的外墙一样. 他们撞击城墙, 要把城墙撞倒.

20:16 Then a wise woman from the city called out, “Listen, listen! Please speak to Joab to come near here so that I may speak to you.”
有一个聪明的妇人在城墙上呼叫: “请听! 请听! 请你们对约押说: ‘请你走近这里, 我有话对你说. ’”

20:17 Then he came near to her, and the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” And he said, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Listen to the words of your servant.” He said, “I am listening.”
约押走近妇人那里, 妇人问: “你是约押吗? ”他回答: “我是. ”妇人对他说: “请听婢女的话! ”他说: “我正在听! ”

20:18 Then she said, “In former times, they would always say, ‘By all means, let them inquire in Abel,’ and so they settled things.
妇人说: “古时人常说: ‘只要在亚比拉求问, 事就必成全. ’

20:19 I am one of the faithful representatives of Israel. You are seeking to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow the inheritance of Yahweh?”
我在以色列中是和平信实的人, 你却设法毁灭这座以色列的母城. 你为什么要吞灭耶和华的产业呢? ”

20:20 Then Joab answered and said, “Far be it, far be it from me that I should swallow or I should destroy.
约押回答: “绝对不会! 我绝对不会吞灭, 也不会毁坏.

20:21 That is not the matter. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name is Sheba the son Bicri, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Give only him to us, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Look, his head is being thrown down to you over the wall.”
事情不是这样的; 只因以法莲山地有一个人名叫示巴, 是比基利的儿子, 他举手攻击大卫王. 你们只要把他一人交出来, 我就离开这城. ”妇人对约押说: “看哪! 那人的头必从这城墙上丢给你. ”

20:22 The woman went to all of the people with her wise plan, so they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bicri and threw it to Joab. Then he blew the horn and dispersed from the city, each to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
妇人就凭她的智慧去见众人, 他们就把比基利的儿子示巴的头砍下来, 丢给约押; 约押吹号角, 众人就离城散开, 各回自己的家去了. 约押也回耶路撒冷去见大卫王.

20:23 Now Joab was over all the army of Israel and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Carites and over the Pelethites.
约押作以色列所有军队的统帅. 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统辖基利提人和比利提人;

20:24 Adoram was over the forced labor, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder.
亚多兰管理作苦工的人. 亚希律的儿子约沙法作史官;

20:25 Shiya was secretary, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests.
示法作书记. 撒督和亚比亚他作祭司长;

20:26 Also Ira the Jairite was priest for David.
睚珥人以拉也作大卫的祭司.

II Samuel - Chapter 21

21:1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David inquired of Yahweh, and Yahweh said, “The bloodguilt is on Saul and on his household, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
大卫在位的日子, 有连续三年的饥荒; 大卫就寻求耶和华的面. 耶和华说: “这是因为扫罗和扫罗家流人血的罪, 因为他曾经杀死了基遍人. ”

21:2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not from the Israelites; they were from the remainder of the Amorites. Now the Israelites had sworn to them, but Saul tried to wipe them out in his zeal for the Israelites and Judah.
原来基遍人不是以色列人, 而是亚摩利人中余剩的后人. 以色列人曾经起誓与他们立约, 但扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人发热心, 设法要击杀他们. 王把基遍人召了来, 对他们说话.

21:3 So David asked the Gibeonites, “What can I do for you, and with what can I make amends that you may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?”
大卫问基遍人: “我能为你们作什么? 我该用什么来赎罪, 使你们为耶和华的产业祝福呢? ”

21:4 Then the Gibeonites said to him, “It is not a matter for us of silver or gold with Saul or with his household. It is not for us to put to death anyone in Israel.” He asked, “What are you saying that I should do for you all?”
基遍人回答大卫: “我们与扫罗和他家的事, 都与金子银子没有关系; 我们也不愿以色列中有一个人被杀. ”大卫问: “那么, 你们说, 我当为你们作什么? ”

21:5 Then they said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us so that we were destroyed from existing in all of the territory of Israel,
他们回答王: “从前破坏我们, 谋害我们, 要消灭我们, 使我们不能在以色列境内立足的那人,

21:6 let seven men from his sons be given over to us, and we will execute them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen one of Yahweh.” Then the king said, “I will give them over.”
现在请你把他子孙中的七个男丁交给我们, 我们可以在基遍耶和华的山上, 在耶和华面前把他们处决. ”王说: “我必交给你们. ”

21:7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the sworn oath of Yahweh which was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
王顾惜扫罗的孙子,约拿单的儿子米非波设, 因为大卫与扫罗的儿子约拿单, 曾经在耶和华面前有过誓约.

21:8 So the king took two of the sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, namely Armoni and Mephibosheth, and five of the sons of Michal the daughter of Saul whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
于是王逮捕了爱雅的女儿利斯巴为扫罗所生的两个儿子: 亚摩尼和米非波设, 和扫罗的女儿米拉为米何拉人巴西莱的儿子亚得列所生的五个儿子,

21:9 He gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they executed them on the mountain in the presence of Yahweh, and the seven fell together. Now they were put to death in the days of the harvest, at the beginning of the harvest of barley.
把他们交在基遍人的手里. 基遍人就在山上耶和华面前把他们处决, 这七人就一同倒毙了. 他们被处死的时候, 正是收获季节之初, 就是开始收割大麦的时候.

21:10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took the sackcloth, and she spread it for herself on the rock at the beginning of the harvest until water gushed forth on them from heaven, but she did not allow the birds of heaven to rest on them by day nor the animals of the field by night.
爱雅的女儿利斯巴拿了一块麻布, 为自己铺在磐石上. 从开始收割的时候, 直到雨水从天上倾倒在他们的尸身上的时候, 白天她不让空中的飞鸟落在尸身上, 夜间不让田间的走兽来糟践他们.

21:11 David was told about what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
有人把扫罗的妃子, 爱雅的女儿利斯巴所作的这事告诉了大卫,

21:12 So David left and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the rulers of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines hung them when the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa.
大卫就去把扫罗的骸骨和他儿子约拿单的骸骨, 从基列．雅比人那里搬回来. 原来非利士人从前在基利波山击杀扫罗那一天, 就把他们二人的尸体挂在伯．珊的广场上, 基列．雅比人却把他们偷了去.

21:13 He brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered the bones of the executed.
大卫把扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨从那里搬上来; 又有人收殓了那些被处决者的骸骨.

21:14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin at Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They did all that the king had commanded, and afterward God was entreated for the land.
他们把扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨埋葬在便雅悯地的洗拉, 在扫罗父亲基士的坟墓里. 王所吩咐的一切, 众人都行了. 这事以后, 神垂听了人们为那地的祷告.

21:15 There was war again for the Philistines with Israel, and David and his servants with him went down, and they fought the Philistines, and David grew weary.
非利士人与以色列人又有了战事. 大卫和跟随他的臣仆一同下去, 要与非利士人争战; 大卫疲倦了.

21:16 Now Yishbi in Nob, who was among the descendents of Raphah (now the weight of his spearhead was three hundredweight of bronze, and he was newly armed), said that he would kill David.
他们住在歌伯. 有一个人, 是巨人的儿子, 他的铜矛有三公斤半重, 又佩带着新刀; 他想要击杀大卫.

21:17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and he attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall not go out with us any longer to the battle, so that you do not quench the lamp of Israel.”
洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛帮助了大卫; 亚比筛击打那非利士人, 把他杀死了. 那时, 跟随大卫的人向他起誓说: “以后你不可再与我们一同出去打仗, 免得以色列的灯熄灭了. ”

21:18 It happened afterward that there was again battle at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph who was among the descendants of the Raphah.
后来, 以色列人又在歌伯与非利士人争战. 那时, 户沙人西比该击杀了巨人的一个儿子撒弗.

21:19 There was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim, the Bethlehemite, killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like the beam of a weaver.
在歌伯又再与非利士人争战. 伯利恒人雅雷俄珥金的儿子伊勒哈难击杀了迦特人歌利亚. 这人的矛杆好像织布的机轴那么粗大.

21:20 Once again there was battle at Gath, and there was a man of great size. The fingers of his hand and the toes of his feet were six and six, twenty-four in number. He was also born to the Raphah.
在迦特又有一场战事, 那里有一个身量高大的人, 手脚都各有六个指头, 总数是二十四个; 这人也是巨人所生的.

21:21 He taunted Israel but Jonathan the son of Shimei, the brother of David, killed him.
这人向以色列人骂阵, 大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单把他击杀了.

21:22 These four were born for the Raphah in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
以上这四个人都是迦特城里那个巨人所生的, 都死在大卫和大卫臣仆的手下.

II Samuel - Chapter 22

22:1 Then David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song, on the day Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
在耶和华拯救大卫脱离所有仇敌和扫罗的手的日子, 他向耶和华唱出这首歌的歌词.

22:2 And he said: “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
他说: “耶和华是我的岩石,我的山寨,我的救主,

22:3 I take refuge in God, my rock, my shield, and the strength of my salvation. My stronghold and my refuge, O my savior, you will save me from violence!
我的神,我的磐石,我所投靠的,我的盾牌,我救恩的角,我的高台,我的避难所,我的救主; 你是救我脱离强暴的.

22:4 I call upon Yahweh who is praiseworthy, and I am saved from those who hate me.
我向那当受赞美的耶和华呼求, 就得到拯救, 脱离我的仇敌.

22:5 For the breaker waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
死亡的波浪环绕我, 毁灭的急流淹没了我.

22:6 The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
阴间的绳索围绕着我; 死亡的网罗迎面而来.

22:7 In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and to my God I called. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help was to his ears.
急难临到我的时候, 我求告耶和华, 我向我的神呼求; 他从殿中听了我的声音, 我的呼求进了他的耳中.

22:8 The earth heaved and shook, the foundations of heaven trembled and heaved because he was angry.
那时大地摇撼震动, 天的根基也都摇动; 它们摇撼, 是因为耶和华发怒.

22:9 Smoke went up from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. Burning coals devoured, they burned from him.
浓烟从他的鼻孔往上冒, 烈火从他的口中喷出来, 连炭也烧着了.

22:10 He bowed the heavens and came down; a very thick cloud was under his feet.
他使天下垂, 亲自降临; 在他的脚下黑云密布.

22:11 He rode upon a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.
他乘着基路伯飞行, 借着风的翅膀急飞.

22:12 He put darkness as a canopy all around him, a collection of thick rain clouds.
他以黑暗作他的隐密处, 他以浓黑的水气, 就是天空的密云, 作他四周的帷帐.

22:13 From the brightness before him flamed burning coals of fire.
从他面前发出的光辉, 火炭都烧起来!

22:14 Yahweh thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
耶和华从天上打雷, 至高者发出声音.

22:15 He sent arrows and he scattered them, lightning, and he directed them.
他射出箭来, 使它们四散; 他发出闪电, 使它们混乱.

22:16 Then the channels of water of the sea were exposed, the foundations of the world, at the rebuke of Yawheh, from the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
耶和华的斥责一发, 他鼻孔的气一出, 海底就出现, 大地的根基也显露.

22:17 He sent from a high position and took me; he drew me from mighty waters.
他从高处伸手抓住我, 把我从大水中拉上来.

22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemies, from those who hate me, for they were mightier than I.
他救我脱离我的强敌, 脱离那些恨我的人, 因为他们比我强盛.

22:19 They approached me on the day of my disaster, but Yahweh was my support.
在我遭难的日子, 他们来攻击我; 但耶和华是我的支持.

22:20 He brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.
他又领我出去, 到那宽阔之地; 他搭救我, 因为他喜悦我.

22:21 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.
耶和华按着我的公义报答我, 照着我手中的清洁回报我.

22:22 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh; I have not acted wickedly against my God.

22:27 With the pure, you show yourself pure, but with the crooked, you appear as a fool.

22:28 Humble people you will deliver, but your eyes are on the haughty, whom you bring down.
谦卑的人, 你要拯救; 你的眼睛察看高傲的人, 要使他们降卑.

22:29 For you, O Yahweh are my lamp, and Yahweh lightens my darkness.
耶和华啊! 你是我的灯; 耶和华照明了我的黑暗.

22:30 For by you I can run a raid; by my God I can leap over a wall.
借着你, 我攻破敌军; 靠着我的神, 我跳过墙垣.

22:31 This God, his way is blameless; the promise of Yahweh is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.
这位神, 他的道路是完全的; 耶和华的话是炼净的; 凡是投靠他的, 他都作他们的盾牌.

22:32 For who is God apart from Yahweh? And who is a rock apart from our God?
除了耶和华, 谁是神呢? 除了我们的神, 谁是磐石呢?

22:33 God is my strong refuge, he has fully opened my way.
这位神是我坚固的避难所, 他使我的道路完全.

22:34 He makes my feet like a doe deer, and on my high places he has set me.

22:35 He trains my hands for the war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

22:37 You have broadened my steps beneath me; my ankles have not wobbled.

22:41 My enemies you cause to retreat from me; I destroy those who hate me.

22:42 They looked out, but there was no deliverer, even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

22:43 I beat them fine, like the dust of the earth; like the mire of the streets, I crushed them, I stamped them down.
我捣碎他们, 像地上的尘土; 我打碎他们, 践踏他们, 像街上的烂泥.

22:47 Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! May God, the rock of my salvation, be exalted!

他救我脱离我的仇敌. 你还把我高举起来, 高过那些起来攻击我的人, 又救我脱离了强暴的人.

22:50 Therefore I will extol you, Yahweh, among the nations! I will sing praises to your name!
因此, 耶和华啊, 我要在列国中称赞你, 歌颂你的名.

22:51 He makes great salvation for his king and shows loyal love to his anointed one, David and to his descendants forever.”
耶和华赐极大的救恩给他所立的王, 又向他的受膏者施慈爱, 就是向大卫和他的后裔施慈爱, 直到永远. ”

II Samuel - Chapter 23

23:1 These are the last words of David, the declaration of David the son of Jesse, and the declaration of the man exalted by the Most High, the anointed one of the God of Jacob and the darling of the songs of Israel.
以下是大卫末了的话: “耶西的儿子大卫的宣告, 被高举的人的宣告. 大卫是雅各的神所膏立的, 是以色列美妙的诗人.

23:2 “The spirit of Yahweh speaks through me, and his word is upon my tongue.
耶和华的灵借着我说话, 他的话在我的舌头上.

23:3 The God of Israel said to me, the rock of Israel has spoken; ‘He who rules over mankind rules righteously, in the fear of God.
以色列的神说, 以色列的磐石告诉我: 那以公义统治人的, 那存敬畏神的心施行统治的,

23:4 Like the light of the morning when the sun rises, shining with no clouds, bringing vegetation from the earth apart from rain.’
他必像旭日升起的光芒, 像无云的早晨, 像雨后的晴朗, 使地长出绿草.

23:5 Yet not so is my house with God, for he made an everlasting covenant for me, arranging everything. He has secured all my deliverance, and all my desire he will cause to happen.
我的家在神面前不是这样吗? 他与我立了永远的约; 这约安排了一切, 稳固妥当. 我的一切救恩,一切愿望, 他不都成全吗?

23:6 But evil persons are like thorns cast aside; all of them, because they cannot be picked up in the hand.
流氓却像荆棘被丢弃, 人不敢用手拿它.

23:7 And if a man wants to touch them, he must use an iron instrument or the shaft of a spear; then they are consumed entirely with fire on the spot.”
人要碰它, 必须带备铁器和枪杆, 他们要在原地被火彻底烧毁. ”

23:8 These are the names of the mighty warriors who were David’s: Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite was chief of three officers; first Adino, whose spear was against eight hundred slain on one occurrence.
以下是大卫勇士的名字: 他革扪人约设．巴设, 是三勇士的首领, 又称为伊斯尼人亚底挪. 他曾在一次战役中杀死了八百人.

23:9 Next to him Eleazar, the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite, was among the three mighty warriors with David when they defied the Philistines and they gathered there for the battle and the men of Israel withdrew.
其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒. 从前非利士人在巴斯达闵聚集要争战, 与大卫一同去向他们骂阵的三个勇士, 其中之一就是以利亚撒; 那时以色列人向上撤退,

23:10 He stood up and struck down the Philistines until his hand grew tired and his hand clung to the sword, and Yahweh brought about a great victory on that day. Then the army returned back to him only for stripping the dead.
他却起来, 击杀非利士人, 直到他的手疲乏无力, 紧贴在刀把上. 那一天耶和华使以色列人获得了大胜利. 众人转到以利亚撒后面, 只顾剥夺死者的财物.

23:11 Next to him was Shamma, the son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines assembled at Lehi, a plot of the field was there filled with lentils, and the army fled there from the presence of the Philistines.
再其次是哈拉人亚基的儿子沙玛. 非利士人聚集在利希, 那里有一块田地长满了红豆, 众人都从非利士人面前逃走.

23:12 But he took a stand in the middle of the plot of land and defended it. He killed the Philistines, and Yahweh brought about a great victory.
沙玛却在那块田地中间站稳脚步, 保护了那块田, 又击杀了非利士人. 耶和华又使以色列人获得了大胜利.

23:13 Then three of the thirty leaders went down and came to David at the time of the harvest to the cave of Adullam, while a group of the Philistines were camping in the valley of the Rephaim.
收割的时候, 三十个首领中有三个人下到亚杜兰洞那里去见大卫; 有一队非利士人在利乏音谷安营.

23:14 Now at that time, David was in the stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that same time.
那时大卫在山寨中, 非利士人的驻军却在伯利恒.

23:15 David said longingly, “Oh that someone would bring me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem that is at the gate.”
大卫渴望说: “但愿有人把伯利恒城门旁边井里的水拿来给我喝! ”

23:16 So three of the mighty warriors broke into the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was at the gate, and they carried it and brought it to David. But he was not willing to drink it, but poured it out to Yahweh.
那三个勇士就闯过非利士人的营地, 从伯利恒城门旁边的井里打水, 把水取上来, 带到大卫那里. 大卫不肯喝, 却把水浇奠在耶和华面前.

23:17 He said, “Far be it from me before Yahweh that I should do this. Is this not the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” So he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty warriors did.
大卫说: “耶和华啊! 我绝对不可作这事. 这三个人冒着生命危险去打水, 这水不是他们的血吗? ”因此大卫不肯喝那水. 这些是那三个勇士所作的事.

23:18 Now Abishai the brother of Joab the son of Zeruiah was himself the leader of the thirty. He was wielding his spear against three hundred slain and gained a name among the thirty.
洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛是三十勇士的首领. 他曾挥舞矛枪杀死了三百人, 因此他与“三勇士”齐名.

23:19 Among the thirty, is it not that he was honored and became a commander for them? But he did not come up to the three.
他的荣誉比那“三十勇士”高, 所以成为他们的领袖; 不过, 却不及“三勇士”.

23:20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of Ish-Hai, was a great man of deeds from Kabzeel. He struck down two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.
甲薛人耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 是一个力气很大的人, 作过许多大事. 他曾经击杀了摩押人的两个勇将; 又在下雪的时候, 下到坑里去击杀了一只狮子.

23:21 He also killed a good-looking Egyptian man, in whose hand was a spear. He went down against him with the staff and snatched the spear from the hand of the Egyptian and killed him with his spear.
他还击杀了一个体格高大的埃及人. 这埃及人手里有矛, 比拿雅只拿着棍子下去与他对抗; 结果他把埃及人手中的矛枪夺了过来, 用那矛枪杀死他.

23:22 These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did and gained a name for himself among the three mighty warriors.
这些是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅所作的事. 他与“三勇士”齐名.

23:23 He was honored more than the thirty, but he did not come up to the three. David appointed him in charge of his bodyguard.
他的荣誉比那“三十勇士”高, 不过, 却不及“三勇士”. 大卫立他作侍卫长.

II Samuel - Chapter 24

24:1 Again Yahweh was angry with Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go count Israel and Judah.”
耶和华又向以色列人发怒, 就激动大卫, 使他们受害, 说: “你去数点一下以色列和犹大的人数吧! ”

24:2 The king said to Joab, the commander of the army who was with him: “Please go about through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people that I may know the number of the people.”
王就对约押和跟随他的军官说: “你们走遍以色列各支派, 从但到别是巴, 数点人民, 我好知道人民的数目. ”

24:3 Then Joab said to the king, “May Yahweh your God increase the people a hundred times what they are as the eyes of my lord the king are seeing. But my lord the king, why does he desire this thing?”
约押回答王: “无论人民有多少, 愿耶和华你的神再增加一百倍, 又愿我主我王亲眼看见. 不过, 我主我王为什么喜欢这事呢? ”

24:4 But the word of the king prevailed over Joab and over the commanders of the army, so Joab and the commanders of the army went out from before the king to count the people of Israel.
但是王的命令约押和众军官不敢不从. 于是约押和众军官从王面前出去, 数点以色列的人民.

24:5 They crossed over the Jordan and camped at Aroer to the south of the city, which was in the middle of the wadi of Gad, and up to Jazer.
他们过了约旦河, 就在谷中那座亚罗珥城的右边安营. 后来他们经过迦得, 直到雅谢,

24:6 Then they went to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi. They came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon
然后又到了基列和他停．合示地, 再到了但．雅安, 并绕过了西顿,

24:7 and came to the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to the Negev of Judah at Beersheba.
来到推罗的堡垒, 以及希未人和迦南人所有的城市. 最后, 他们出到犹大的南端别是巴去了.

24:8 They went about through all the land, and they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
以后, 他们走遍了全地, 过了九个月又二十天, 就回到耶路撒冷.

24:9 Then Joab gave the number of the counting of the people to the king. Israel was eight hundred thousand valiant warriors wielding the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.
约押把数点人民的数目向王呈报: 在以色列中能拔刀的勇士共有八十万人; 犹大共有五十万人.

24:10 The heart of David struck him after he had counted the people, and David said to Yahweh, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done! So then, O Yahweh, please forgive the guilt of your servant because I have acted very foolishly.”
大卫数点了人民以后, 良心一直不安, 于是对耶和华说: “我作了这事, 犯了大罪. 耶和华啊! 现在求你除去你仆人的罪孽, 因为我作了非常糊涂的事! ”

24:11 When David got up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to Gad the prophet, the seer of David, saying,
大卫早晨起来; 耶和华的话临到迦得先知, 就是大卫的先见, 说:

24:12 “Go and speak to David, ‘Thus says Yahweh, three things I am laying on you; choose for yourself one of them and I will do it to you.’ ”
“你去告诉大卫说: ‘耶和华这样说: 我给你三个选择, 你要选择一个, 我好向你施行. ’”

24:13 Then Gad came to David, and he told him and said to him, “Shall seven years of famine in the land come to you? Or three months of your fleeing from your enemies while he is pursuing you? Or should there be three days of pestilence in your land? Now consider and decide what I must return to the one who sent me a word.”
于是迦得来见大卫, 问他说: “你要国中七年的饥荒呢? 或是要在你敌人面前逃跑, 被追赶三个月呢? 或是要国中有三天的瘟疫呢? 现在你要想想, 决定我该用什么话回复那差我来的. ”

24:14 Then David said to Gad, “I am greatly distressed. Please let us fall into the hand of Yahweh, because he is great in his compassion; but into the hand of man don’t let me fall.”
大卫对迦得说: “我非常为难, 我们情愿落在耶和华的手里, 因为他有丰盛的怜悯. 不要让我落在人的手里. ”

24:15 Then Yahweh sent a plague into Israel from the morning until the agreed time, and from the people from Dan to Beersheba, seventy thousand men died.
于是耶和华降瘟疫在以色列地, 从早晨直到所定的时间; 从但到别是巴, 众民中死了七万人.

24:16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, Yahweh regretted about the evil, and he said to the angel who brought destruction among the people, “Enough, now relax your hand.” Now the angel of Yahweh was at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
当天使向耶路撒冷伸手, 要毁灭耶路撒冷的时候, 耶和华就后悔降这灾祸, 就对那毁灭众民的天使说: “够了, 现在住手吧! ”那时, 耶和华的天使在耶布斯人亚劳拿的打禾场那里.

24:17 David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel destroying among the people, and he said, “Look, I have sinned and I have done wrong, but these sheep, what did they do? Please let your hand be against me and against the house of my father.”
大卫看见那击杀人民的天使, 就对耶和华说: “犯了罪的是我, 行了恶的是我, 这群羊又作了什么呢? 求你的手攻击我和我的父家吧! ”

24:18 Then Gad came to David on that same day and said to him, “Go up and erect an altar to Yahweh at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
那一天, 迦得来见大卫, 对他说: “你上去, 在耶布斯人亚劳拿的打禾场那里, 为耶和华立一座祭坛. ”

24:19 So David went up according to the word of Gad, as Yahweh had commanded.
大卫就照着迦得的话, 正如耶和华所吩咐的, 上去了.

24:20 Araunah looked down and saw the king and his servants coming over to him, so Araunah went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
亚劳拿往下观看, 看见王和他的臣仆正朝着他这边走过来, 就出去迎接, 脸伏于地向王叩拜.

24:21 Then Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy from you the threshing floor, to build an altar to Yahweh who brought a halt to the plague on the people.”
亚劳拿问: “我主我王为什么来到你仆人这里呢? ”大卫回答: “是要向你买这打禾场, 好为耶和华筑一座祭坛, 使民间的瘟疫可以止住. ”

24:22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer what is good in his eyes. Look, here are the cattle for the burnt offering and the threshing sledge and the yokes of the oxen for the firewood.
亚劳拿对大卫说: “我主我王看什么好, 就拿去献上吧! 看哪, 这里有牛可以作燔祭, 打禾的器具和套牛的轭可以当柴烧.

24:23 All of this Araunah hereby gives to the king.” Then Araunah said to the king, “May Yahweh your God respond favorably for you.”
王啊, 这一切亚劳拿都奉给你. ”亚劳拿又对王说: “愿耶和华你的神悦纳你! ”

24:24 Then the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will certainly buy it from you for a price; I don’t want to offer to Yahweh my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the cattle for fifty shekels of silver.
王回答亚劳拿: “不! 我一定要按价钱向你买, 我不要用白白得来的作燔祭献给耶和华我的神. ”于是大卫用五百七十克银子, 买下了那打禾场和牛.

24:25 David built an altar to Yahweh there, and he offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then Yahweh responded to his prayer for the land and brought the plague to a halt from upon Israel.
于是大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛, 献上燔祭和平安祭. 这样耶和华垂听了人们为那地的祷告, 瘟疫就在以色列人中止住了.

I Kings (列王记上)

I Kings - Chapter 1

1:1 Now King David had become old, advanced in years, and they covered him with garments, but he was not warm.
大卫王老了, 年事已高, 他们虽用许多衣服盖着他, 他仍不感到暖和.

1:2 His servants said to him, “Let them search for a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her stand before the king. Let her be of use for him, and let her lie in your lap that my lord the king may be warm.”
所以他的臣仆对他说: “不如为我主我王寻找一个年轻的处女, 使她侍候在王面前, 照顾王, 睡在王的怀中, 好使我主我王得到暖和. ”

1:3 So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the territory of Israel, and they found Abishag the Shunnamite and brought her to the king.
于是他们在以色列全境寻找一个美貌的少女, 结果找着了一个书念的女子亚比煞, 就把她带到王面前.

1:4 Now the young woman was very beautiful; she was of use for the king, and she served him, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
这少女极其美丽. 她照顾王, 服事他, 可是王没有与她发生过关系.

1:5 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith was exalting himself, saying, “I will be king,” so he prepared for himself a chariot and horsemen and fifty men running before him.
那时哈及的儿子亚多尼雅妄自尊大, 说: “我必作王. ”就为自己预备了战车,骑兵, 又有五十人在他前面奔走.

1:6 His father did not rebuke him at any time by saying, “Why did you do so?” Now he was also very handsome of appearance; she had borne him after Absalom.
他的父亲从来没有责难他说: “你为什么这样作呢? ”他的容貌也很英俊, 他是在押沙龙之后生的.

1:7 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they supported Adonijah.
亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押和亚比亚他祭司商议以后, 二人都答应支持他.

1:8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty warriors were David’s; they were not with Adonijah.
但撒督祭司,耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 拿单先知,示每,利以和大卫的勇士都不拥护亚多尼雅.

1:9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened animals near the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel. He invited all of his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
有一天, 亚多尼雅在隐．罗结旁边, 琐希列的磐石那里, 宰杀牛羊和肥畜, 邀请他所有的兄弟, 就是王的众子和所有作王的臣仆的犹大人, 来参加筵席.

1:10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty warriors or Solomon his brother.
只是没有邀请拿单先知,比拿雅,众勇士和他的兄弟所罗门.

1:11 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, but our lord David does not know?
拿单对所罗门的母亲拔示巴说: “哈及的儿子亚多尼雅作了王, 而我们的主大卫还不知道, 你难道没有听见吗?

1:12 So then, come, let me advise you please, that you may save your life and the life of your son, Solomon.
现在你来, 我可以给你出一个主意, 好救你的性命和你儿子所罗门的性命.

1:13 Come, go to King David and say to him, ‘Have you not, my lord the king, sworn to your servant, “Surely Solomon your son shall become king after me. And he will sit on my throne”? But why is Adonijah king?’
你进去见大卫王, 对他说: ‘我主我王, 你不是曾经向婢女起誓, 说: “你的儿子所罗门必接续我作王, 他要坐在我的王位上”吗? 现在为什么亚多尼雅作了王呢? ’

1:14 While you are still there speaking with the king, I will enter after you, and I will confirm your words.”
你还在那里与王说话的时候, 我会随后进来, 证实你的话. ”

1:15 So Bathsheba went to the king in the private room. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunnamite was attending the king.
于是拔示巴进到内室去见王. 王很老了, 书念的女子亚比煞正在服事王.

1:16 Bathsheba knelt and bowed down before the king, and the king asked, “What do you want?”
拔示巴向王俯伏叩拜, 王问: “你要什么? ”

1:17 She said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, ‘Solomon your son surely shall become king after me, and he will sit upon my throne!’
她回答说: “我主啊, 你曾经指着耶和华你的神向婢女起誓, 说: ‘你的儿子所罗门必接续我作王, 他要坐在我的王位上’,

1:18 But now, look! Adonijah has become king! And now, my lord the king, you do not know!
可是, 现在亚多尼雅作了王了; 而我主我王, 你还不知道.

1:19 He has sacrificed oxen and sheep and fattened animals in abundance, and he has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, Joab the commander of the army, but Solomon your servant he did not invite.
他宰杀了许多公牛,肥畜和羊, 邀请了王所有的儿子,亚比亚他祭司和军队的元帅约押, 却没有邀请王的仆人所罗门.

1:20 But as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
我主我王啊, 现在以色列众人的眼睛都看着你, 等你告诉他们谁要坐在我主我王的王位上, 接续你作王.

1:21 It shall be that when my lord the king sleeps with his ancestors, I and my son Solomon will be considered as sinners.”
否则, 到我主我王与列祖同睡之后, 我和我的儿子所罗门就要被算为罪人了. ”

1:22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
拔示巴还在与王说话的时候, 拿单先知就进来了.

1:23 They told the king, “Nathan the prophet is here.” He came into the presence of the king and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
有人告诉王说: “拿单先知来了. ”拿单来到王面前, 向王叩拜.

1:24 Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall be king after me and he shall sit on my throne’?
拿单说: “我主我王啊, 你曾说过: ‘亚多尼雅要接续我作王, 坐在我的王位上’吗?

1:25 “For he went down today and sacrificed oxen, sheep, and fattened animals in abundance. He invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest, and look, they are eating and drinking before him. They have also said, “Long live King Adonijah!
今天他下去宰杀了许多公牛,肥畜和羊, 又请了王所有的儿子,众军长和亚比亚他祭司. 他们正在亚多尼雅面前又吃又喝, 说: ‘亚多尼雅王万岁. ’

1:26 But me, your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon your servant he did not invite.
只有我, 就是你的仆人, 撒督祭司,耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅和你的仆人所罗门, 他都没有邀请.

1:27 If it was from my lord the king that this thing has happened, then all is well, but if not, you must let your servants know who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.”
我主我王是不是作了这事, 而你没有告诉你的众臣仆, 谁要接续我主我王, 坐你的王位呢? ”

1:28 Then King David answered and said, “Summon Bathsheba for me.” Then she came before the king and stood in his presence.
大卫回答说: “召拔示巴到我这里来. ”于是拔示巴来到王面前, 站在那里.

1:29 Then the king swore and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has saved my life from all trouble,
王就起誓说: “我指着曾经救我的性命脱离一切患难的永活的耶和华起誓,

1:30 surely as I swore to you by Yahweh the God of Israel, saying, ‘Solomon your son shall surely be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,’ surely I shall do so this very day.”
我从前怎样指着耶和华以色列的神向你起誓, 说: ‘你的儿子所罗门必接续我作王, 要坐在我的王位上’, 我今天也必照样行. ”

1:31 Then Bathsheba knelt with her face to the ground and did obeisance to the king, and she said, “May my lord, King David, live forever.”
于是拔示巴面伏在地, 向王叩拜, 说: “愿我主大卫王万岁! ”

1:32 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,” and they came before the king.
大卫王又说: “召撒督祭司,拿单先知和耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅到我这里来. ”他们都来到王面前.

1:33 The king said to them, “Take with you all the servants of your lord, and let them make Solomon my son ride on my mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
王就对他们说: “你们要带着你们主人的仆人, 使我的儿子所罗门骑上我的骡子, 送他下到基训去.

1:34 Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel. Blow on the trumpet and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
在那里撒督祭司和拿单先知要膏立他作以色列的王. 你们要吹角说: ‘所罗门王万岁! ’

1:35 Then you shall go up after him, and let him come and sit on my throne; he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be leader over Israel and Judah.”
然后你们要跟随他上来; 他要来坐在我的王位上; 他要接续我作王. 我已经立了他作以色列和犹大的统治者. ”

1:36 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, “Amen! So may Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, confirm it!
耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅回答王说: “阿们! 愿耶和华我主我王的神也是这样说.

1:37 As Yahweh was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
耶和华怎样与我主我王同在, 愿他也照样与所罗门同在, 使他的王位, 比我主大卫王的王位更伟大. ”

1:38 Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites went down, and they let Solomon ride on the mule of King David, and they brought him to Gihon.
于是撒督祭司,拿单先知和耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 以及基利提人和比利提人都下去, 使所罗门骑上大卫王的骡子, 送他到基训去.

1:39 Then Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and he anointed Solomon. They blew on the trumpet, and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
撒督祭司从帐幕里拿出那盛膏油的角, 膏立所罗门; 然后有人吹角, 众民就说: “所罗门王万岁! ”

1:40 All the people went up after him, and the people were playing on the flutes and rejoicing with great joy, and the earth shook with their noise.
众民都跟随他上去, 吹着笛子, 十分欢乐, 以致大地也因他们的声音震裂.

1:41 And Adonijah and all the invited guests who were with him heard it. Now they were finished eating when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet and said, “Why is there such a noise in the city?”
亚多尼雅和所有与他在一起的宾客刚刚吃完了饭, 听到这声音; 约押听到角声, 就说: “城里为什么有这样喧嚷的声音呢? ”

1:42 While he was still speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Adonijah said, “Come, for you are a man of valor, and you bring good news.”
他还在说话的时候, 亚比亚他祭司的儿子约拿单来了. 亚多尼雅对他说: “进来吧! 你是个忠义的人, 一定带来了好消息. ”

1:43 Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, “But our lord King David has made Solomon king!
约拿单对亚多尼雅说: “不好了, 我们的主大卫王已经立了所罗门为王了.

1:44 He sent Zadok the priest with the king, and Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites; they made him ride on the king’s mule.
王差派撒督祭司,拿单先知和耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 以及基利提人和比利提人, 与所罗门同去. 他们使所罗门骑上王的骡子.

1:45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him as king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there rejoicing. The city has gone wild; this is the sound which you heard.
撒督祭司和拿单先知已经在基训膏立他作王. 众人都从那里欢欢喜喜上路; 你们听见的声音, 就是城里的喧闹声.

1:46 And also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom!
不但所罗门已经坐在这王国的王位上,

1:47 The servants of the king also came to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘Your God has made the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!’ So the king worshiped on the bed.
而且王的臣仆也来为我们的主大卫王祝福说: ‘愿你的神使所罗门的名声比你的更尊荣, 使他的王位比你的更伟大. ’王就在床上屈身下拜.

1:48 What is more, the king said, ‘May Yahweh the God of Israel be blessed, who has given this day one sitting on my throne, and my eyes are seeing it!’ ”
王又这样说: ‘耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的, 因为他今天赐了一人坐在我的王位上, 也使我亲眼看见这事. ’”

1:49 Then all the invited guests who were for Adonijah trembled and got up and went, each on his way.
亚多尼雅所有的宾客都惧怕, 大家起身, 各自逃走了.

1:50 Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon, and he got up and went and grasped the horns of the altar.
亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门, 就起来, 去抓紧祭坛的角.

1:51 Solomon was told, “Look, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and he has grasped the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will surely not kill his servant with the sword!’ ”
有人告诉所罗门说: “亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门王. 他现在抓紧祭坛的角说: ‘愿所罗门王今天向我起誓, 决不会用刀杀死他的仆人. ’”

1:52 Solomon said, “If he is a son of noble character, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, but if evil is found in him, then he will die.”
所罗门说: “他若是作一个忠义的人, 他的头发连一根也不会掉在地上; 但在他身上若是发现有什么恶行, 他必定死. ”

1:53 Then King Solomon sent and brought him down from upon the altar. He came and did obeisance to King Solomon. Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
于是所罗门派人去把亚多尼雅从祭坛上带下来. 他来向所罗门叩拜; 所罗门对他说: “回你的家去吧! ”

I Kings - Chapter 2

2:1 The days of David came near for him to die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
大卫的死期近了, 就嘱咐他的儿子所罗门说:

2:2 “I am about to go the way of all the world. Be strong and be courageous.
“我现在要走世人必走的路了, 你当坚强作大丈夫,

2:3 You shall keep the charge of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his judgments, and his testimonies, as are written in the law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all that you do and everywhere you turn,
谨守耶和华你神所吩咐的, 遵行他的道, 按摩西律法所写的, 谨守他的律例,诫命,典章和法度; 这样, 无论你作什么, 无论你往哪里去, 都可以亨通.

2:4 so that Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons take heed of their way, to walk before me in faithfulness, with all their heart and with all their soul, no man of yours will be cut off from the throne of Israel.’ ”
这样, 耶和华必坚立他所说有关我的话, 说: ‘如果你的子孙谨慎自己所行的, 一心一意,诚诚实实行在我面前, 就不断有人坐以色列的王位了. ’

2:5 “Moreover, you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me when he dealt with the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner son of Ner and to Amasa son of Jether, and he murdered them and put the blood of war in a time of peace. He put the blood of war on the leather belt that was on his waist and on the sandals which were on his feet.
你也要知道洗鲁雅的儿子约押对我所行的, 就是对以色列的两个元帅: 尼珥的儿子押尼珥和益帖的儿子亚玛撒所行的. 他杀了他们, 在和平的时候流他们的血, 像作战时一样, 把战争的血染在他腰间所束的带子上和脚上所穿的鞋子上.

2:6 You must act according to your wisdom, but you must not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.
所以你要凭你的智慧而行, 不要让他白发到老, 平平安安下到阴间.

2:7 Regarding the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, you shall do loyal love and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they met me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
但是你要恩待基列人巴西莱的众子, 使他们与你同席吃饭, 因为我逃避你哥哥押沙龙的时候, 他们拿食物来迎接我.

2:8 And look, Shimei the son of Gera the son of the Benjaminite from Bahurim is with you. Now he cursed me severely when I went to Mahanaim, but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, so I swore to him by Yahweh, ‘I surely will not kill you with the sword.’
与你在一起的有巴户琳的便雅悯人基拉的儿子示每; 我往玛哈念去的那天, 他用狠毒的咒语咒骂我. 后来他下到约旦河来迎接我的时候, 我就指着耶和华向他起誓, 说: ‘我必不用刀杀死你. ’

2:9 So then, do not leave him unpunished, for you are a wise man, and you will know what you must do to him. You must bring his grey hair down to Sheol with blood.”
现在, 你不要以他为无罪, 你是个聪明人, 你必知道该怎样待他, 使他白发苍苍流血下到阴间. ”

2:10 Then David slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David.
大卫与他的列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城里.

2:11 The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
大卫作以色列王四十年: 在希伯仑作王七年; 在耶路撒冷作王三十三年.

2:12 Then Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.
于是所罗门坐在他父亲的王位上, 他的国非常稳固.

2:13 Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she said, “Are you coming in peace?” He said, “Peace.”
哈及的儿子亚多尼雅去见所罗门的母亲拔示巴, 拔示巴问他: “你来是为和平吗? ”他回答: “是为和平来的. ”

2:14 Then he said, “May I have a word with you?” Then she said, “Go on.”
他又说: “我有话对你说. ”拔示巴说: “你说吧! ”

2:15 He said, “You know that the kingship was mine and that all Israel had set their face toward me as king, but the kingship turned around and became my brother’s, for it was from Yahweh for him to have it.
亚多尼雅说: “你知道这国位原是我的, 以色列众人都希望我作王; 不料国位反归了我的弟弟, 因为他得着国位是出于耶和华.

2:16 Now one request I am asking from you, and you must not refuse me.” Then she said to him, “Go on.”
现在我有一事请求你, 请你不要拒绝. ”拔示巴对他说: “你说吧! ”

2:17 He said, “Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you, so that he will give to me Abishag the Shunnamite as wife.”
他说: “求你向所罗门王说, 请他把书念的女子亚比煞赐给我作妻子, 因为他必不会拒绝你. ”

2:18 Then Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak to the king concerning you.”
拔示巴说: “好吧, 我必为你向王请求. ”

2:19 Bathsheba came to King Solomon to speak to him concerning Adonijah, and the king got up to meet her, bowed down to her, and then sat on his throne. Then he set up a throne for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right.
于是拔示巴去见所罗门王, 为亚多尼雅的事向他请求. 王起来迎接她, 向她下拜, 然后坐在自己的王座上, 又吩咐人为王的母亲摆设一个座位; 她就坐在王的右边.

2:20 She said, “I have one small request I am asking from you. Do not refuse me.” The king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”
拔示巴说: “我有一件小事求你, 请不要拒绝我. ”王对她说: “母亲, 你说吧, 我必不会拒绝你. ”

2:21 Then she said, “Let Abishag the Shunnamite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”
拔示巴说: “请把书念的女子亚比煞赐给你哥哥亚多尼雅作妻子. ”

2:22 King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “Why are you asking Abishag the Shunnamite for Adonijah? Ask for him also the kingdom, for he is my brother, older than I; and ask for him also Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”
所罗门王回答他母亲, 说: “你为什么要为亚多尼雅求书念的女子亚比煞呢? 你也可以为他求这个国位, 因为他是我的哥哥, 又有亚比亚他祭司和洗鲁雅的儿子约押拥护他. ”

2:23 Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “Thus may God do to me and thus may he add, if Adonijah hasn’t spoken this thing at the expense of his life.
于是所罗门王指着耶和华起誓, 说: “如果亚多尼雅不因说了这话而送命, 愿神惩罚我, 并且加倍惩罚我.

2:24 So then, as Yahweh lives, who has established me and seated me on the throne of my father David and who has established for me a dynasty as he promised, then surely Adonijah will be put to death today.”
现在, 我指着永活的耶和华──那位坚立了我, 使我坐在我父亲大卫的王位上, 又照他所应许, 为我建立家室的──起誓, 今天亚多尼雅必被处死! ”

2:25 King Solomon sent through the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, so he struck him, and he died.
于是, 所罗门王差派耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅去击杀亚多尼雅, 他就死了.

2:26 To Abiathar the priest, the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your field, for you deserve to die, but on this day I will not kill you, for you carried the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father, and because you endured hardship in all the hardship that my father endured.”
王对亚比亚他祭司说: “你回亚拿突自己的田地去吧! 你本来是该死的, 但我今天不杀死你, 因为你在我父亲大卫面前抬过主耶和华的约柜, 又与我父亲同受一切苦难. ”

2:27 So Solomon banished Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, thus fulfilling the word which Yahweh had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
所罗门就罢免了亚比亚他, 不准他作耶和华的祭司, 这样就应验了耶和华在示罗所说有关以利家的话.

2:28 When the message came to Joab (now Joab had supported Adonijah but had not supported Absalom), he fled to the tent of Yahweh and grasped the horns of the altar.
约押虽然没有拥护过押沙龙, 但曾拥护亚多尼雅; 这消息传到约押那里, 他就逃到耶和华的帐幕里去, 抓紧祭坛的角.

2:29 It was told to King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Yahweh and was beside the altar. So Solomon sent word to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go and fall upon him.”
有人告诉所罗门王约押逃到耶和华的帐幕里去了, 现在就在祭坛的旁边. 于是所罗门差派耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅去说: “你去把他杀死. ”

2:30 So Benaiah went to the tent of Yahweh, and he said to him, “Thus says the king: ‘Come out.’ ” And he said, “No, for I want to die here.” So Benaiah returned a word to the king, saying, “Thus Joab spoke, and thus he answered me.”
比拿雅来到耶和华的帐幕那里, 对约押说: “王这样吩咐说: ‘你出来! ’”约押说: “我不出去! 我要死在这里. ”于是比拿雅回复王说: “约押这样说, 他这样回答我. ”

2:31 Then the king said to him, “Do as he spoke; fall upon him and bury him, and so you shall remove the innocent blood that Joab shed from on me and from on the house of my father.
王对比拿雅说: “你照着约押的话行吧! 杀死他, 把他埋葬, 好叫约押所流无辜人的血, 从我和我父的家除去.

2:32 Yahweh will return his blood on his head, because he fell upon two men, more righteous and better than he, and he killed them with the sword, even though my father did not know it; namely Abner son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.
耶和华必使约押流无辜人的血的罪归到他自己头上, 因为他击杀了两个比他又公义又良善的人, 就是用刀杀了以色列的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥, 和犹大的元帅益帖的儿子亚玛撒, 这事我的父亲大卫一点都不知道.

2:33 And their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever, but for David and his descendants and for his house and his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.”
愿流这二人的血的罪归到约押和他后裔的头上, 直到永远; 但大卫和他的后裔, 他的家和他的国却要从耶和华那里得享平安, 直到永远. ”

2:34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and he fell on him and killed him, and he was buried in his house in the wilderness.
于是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅上去击杀他, 把他杀死, 葬在旷野约押自己的家中.

2:35 Then the king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in place of Abiathar.
王任命耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅取代约押统领军队; 又任命撒督祭司取代亚比亚他的职位.

2:36 Then the king sent and summoned Shimei, and he said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but you must not go out anywhere whatsoever from there.
王派人去把示每召来, 对他说: “你要为自己在耶路撒冷建造一座房屋, 住在那里, 不可从那里出来到任何别的地方去.

2:37 It shall happen that on the day you go out and cross over the Wadi Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your head.”
你必须知道, 你哪一天出来, 越过汲沦溪, 你哪一天就要死. 你流人血的罪必归到你自己的头上. ”

2:38 Shimei said to the king, “The word is good that my lord the king has spoken to me; thus will your servant do.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.
示每对王说: “这话很好, 我主我王怎么说, 你仆人就照着行. ”于是示每在耶路撒冷住了很久.

2:39 It happened that at the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves fled to Achish, son of Maacah, the king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Your slaves are here in Gath.”
三年以后, 示每的两个仆人逃到迦特王玛迦的儿子亚吉那里. 有人告诉示每说: “你的仆人在迦特. ”

2:40 So Shimei got up and saddled his donkey, and he went to Gath, to Achish, to search for his slaves. So Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
于是示每起来, 预备好自己的骡子, 就往迦特亚吉王那里去寻找他的仆人. 示每去了, 又把他的仆人从迦特带回来.

2:41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
有人告诉所罗门示每离开耶路撒冷往迦特去, 又回来了.

2:42 the king sent and summoned Shimei, and he said to him, “Did I not make you swear by Yahweh? I warned you, saying, ‘On the day you go out and you go anywhere whatsoever, know for certain that you will surely die.’ And you said to me, ‘The word is good; I accept.’
王就派人把示每召来, 对他说: “我不是叫你指着耶和华起誓, 并且警告你: ‘你必须知道, 你哪一天出去到任何别的地方, 你哪一天就要死’吗? 你也对我说过: ‘这话很好, 我必听从. ’

2:43 Why have you not kept the oath of Yahweh and the command which I commanded you?”
现在你为什么不遵守你向耶和华所起的誓, 和我吩咐你的命令呢? ”

2:44 Then the king said to Shimei, “You know all the evil which your heart knows, what you did to David my father. Now Yahweh will return the evil on your head,
王又对示每说: “你自己知道你心里的一切恶事, 就是你向我父亲大卫所行的; 现在耶和华要把你的罪归到你的头上.

2:45 but King Solomon will be blessed and the throne of David will be established before Yahweh forever.”
所罗门王却要蒙福, 大卫的王位必在耶和华眼前得坚立, 直到永远. ”

2:46 Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him, and he died. So the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
于是王命令耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 比拿雅就出去击杀示每, 示每就死了. 这样, 所罗门就巩固了他的国.

I Kings - Chapter 3

3:1 Solomon intermarried with Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and he took the daughter of Pharaoh and brought her to the city of David until he finished building his house, the house of Yahweh, and the walls of Jerusalem all around.
所罗门与埃及王法老结亲, 娶了法老的女儿, 把她迎进大卫城, 直等到他的王宫,耶和华的殿和耶路撒冷周围的城墙都建造完了.

3:2 But the people were sacrificing on the high places, for the house for the name of Yahweh had not yet been built in those days.
不过在那些日子, 人民仍然在邱坛上献祭, 因为还没有为耶和华的名建造殿宇.

3:3 Solomon loved Yahweh, by walking in the statutes of David his father; only he was sacrificing and offering incense on the high places.
所罗门爱耶和华, 遵行他父亲大卫的律例; 只是他仍然在邱坛上宰杀和焚烧祭牲.

3:4 So the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice, for the great high place was there. Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
有一次, 王到基遍去献祭, 因为那里有极大的邱坛. 所罗门在那祭坛上献上了一千燔祭.

3:5 Yahweh appeared to Solomon at Gibeon in a dream at night, and God said, “Ask what I should give to you.”
那天晚上在基遍, 耶和华在梦中向所罗门显现; 神说: “你无论求什么, 我必赐给你. ”

3:6 Then Solomon said, “You have shown great loyal love with your servant David my father, as he walked before you in faithfulness and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with you. You have shown for him this great loyal love, and you have given a son to him who is sitting on his throne as it is this day.
所罗门说: “你仆人我父亲大卫以诚实,公义和正直的心在你面前行事为人, 你就以极大的慈爱待他; 你又为他存留这极大的慈爱, 赐给他一个儿子坐在他的王位上, 正如今日一样.

3:7 So then, O Yahweh, you are my God. You have made your servant king in place of David my father though I am a young boy. I do not know going out or coming in.
耶和华我的神啊, 现在你使仆人接续我的父亲大卫作王, 但我还年轻, 不知道应当怎样处事.

3:8 Your servant is in the middle of your people whom you have chosen; a great people who cannot be counted or numbered because of abundance.
仆人住在你拣选的子民中; 这些子民很多, 多得不能数算.

3:9 Give to your servant a listening heart to judge your people, to discern between good and bad, because who is able to judge this, your difficult people?”
所以, 求你赐给仆人一颗明辨的心, 可以判断你的子民, 能辨别是非, 因为谁能判断你这众多的子民呢? ”

3:10 The word was good in the eyes of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.
所罗门因为求这些事, 就蒙主的喜悦.

3:11 And God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing and you did not ask for yourself a long life and you did not ask riches for yourself and you did not ask for the life of your enemies, but you have asked for yourself the ability to make wise judgments;
神对他说: “因为你求这事, 不为自己求长寿, 不为自己求财富, 也不求你仇敌的性命, 单单为自己求聪明可以明辨是非公平,

3:12 behold, I do hereby do according to your word. I hereby give you a wise and discerning heart; there was no one like you before you, nor afterwards will one like you arise.
我就照着你所求的而行; 赐给你一个智慧和明辨的心, 在你以前没有人像你, 在你以后也不会有人像你.

3:13 Too, what you have not asked I give to you: both riches and honor, so that no man among the kings will be like you all of your days.
连你所没有求的, 我也赐给你, 就是财富,尊荣, 以至你一生的年日, 在列王之中没有一人能像你.

3:14 If you will walk in my ways by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David your father walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
如果你遵行了我的道, 谨守我的律例,诫命, 正如你父亲大卫所行的, 我就必延长你的寿数. ”

3:15 Then Solomon awoke, and look, it was a dream, and he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings, and he held a feast for all of his servants.
所罗门醒来, 原来是一个梦. 于是他回到耶路撒冷, 站在耶和华的约柜前, 献上燔祭, 又献上平安祭, 也为他的众臣仆摆设筵席.

3:16 Then two prostitutes came to the king, and they stood before him.
有一天, 有两个作妓女的妇人来见王, 站在他面前.

3:17 The one woman said, “Please my lord, I and this woman are living in one house, and I gave birth, with her in the house.
其中一个妇人说: “我主啊, 我和这妇人同住; 她与我在房子里的时候, 我生了一个孩子.

3:18 It happened on the third day after my giving birth, this woman also gave birth, and we were together. There was not anyone with us in the house, only the two of us were in the house.
我生了孩子以后的第三天, 这妇人也生了一个孩子. 我们都住在一起. 除了我们两个人在房子里以外, 再没有别人与我们一起在这房子里.

3:19 Then the son of this woman died in the night because she laid on him.
夜间, 这妇人睡觉的时候, 压死了她的孩子.

3:20 So she got up in the middle of the night, and she took my son from beside me while your servant was asleep, and she put him in her lap, and she put her dead son in my lap.
她却在半夜, 趁着婢女睡着的时候, 起来, 从我身旁把儿子抱去, 放在她的怀里; 又把她死了的儿子放在我的怀里.

3:21 When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead! When I looked closely at him in the morning, behold, it was not my son whom I had borne.”
第二天早上我起来, 要给我的儿子吃奶的时候, 发觉他死了. 那天早晨我再仔细察看, 发觉他并不是我所生的儿子! ”

3:22 Then the other woman said, “No, for my son is the living one, and your son is the dead one.” The other kept on saying, “No, for your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one,” and so they argued in front of the king.
那一个妇人说: “不! 活的儿子是我的, 死的儿子才是你的. ”但这一个妇人说: “不! 死的儿子是你的, 活的儿子才是我的. ”她们在王面前彼此争辩.

3:23 Then the king said, “This one is saying, ‘This is my son, the living one, but your son is the dead one,’ and the other one keeps saying, ‘But no! Your son is the dead one, and my son is living!’ ”
王说: “这个妇人说: ‘活的儿子是我的, 死的儿子才是你的’, 那个妇人却说: ‘不! 死的儿子是你的, 活的儿子才是我的. ’”

3:24 So the king said, “Bring me a sword,” and they brought the sword before the king.
王就吩咐: “给我拿一把刀来! ”人就把刀带到王面前.

3:25 Then the king said, “Divide the living child into two, and give half to the one and half to the other.”
王说: “把活的孩子劈成两半, 一半给这个妇人, 一半给那个妇人. ”

3:26 Then the woman whose son was the living one spoke to the king because her compassion was aroused for her son, and she said, “Please, my lord, give her the living child, but certainly do not kill him!” The other one was saying, “As for me, so for you! Divide him!”
那活孩子的母亲因为爱子心切, 就对王说: “我主啊, 把那活的孩子给她吧, 千万不可杀死他! ”另一个妇人却说: “这孩子也不归我, 也不归你, 把他劈开吧! ”

3:27 Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to her, and do not kill him; she is his mother.”
王回答说: “把活孩子给这个妇人, 千万不可杀死他, 这个妇人实在是他的母亲. ”

3:28 When all of Israel heard the judgment that the king had rendered, they stood in awe of the king, because they realized that the wisdom of God was in him to execute justice.
以色列众人听见王判断的这案件, 就都敬畏他, 因为看见他心里有神的智慧, 能够判案.

5:1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him as king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend for David.
推罗王希兰听见以色列人膏立了所罗门接续他父亲作王, 就派遣自己的臣仆来见所罗门; 因为希兰一向爱大卫.

5:2 Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
所罗门也派遣人去见希兰, 说:

5:3 “You knew David my father, that he was not able to build a house for the name of Yahweh his God, in view of the warfare which surrounded him, until Yahweh placed them under the soles of his feet.
“你知道我的父亲大卫为了四周的战事, 在耶和华使敌人都服在他的脚下以前, 他不能为耶和华他的神的名建造殿宇.

5:4 But now Yahweh my God has given me rest all around me. There is no adversary, and there is no bad occurrence.
但是, 现在耶和华我的神使我四境太平, 没有仇敌, 也没有灾祸.

5:5 Here I am, intending to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh promised to my father David, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place on your throne, shall build the house for my name.’
所以我有意要为耶和华我的神的名建造殿宇, 正如耶和华曾对我的父亲大卫说: ‘你的儿子, 就是我要使他接续你坐在王位上的, 要为我的名建造殿宇. ’

5:6 So then, command that they may cut cedars for me from Lebanon, and let my servants be with your servants. The wage of your servants I will give to you according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
现在请你命令人从黎巴嫩为我砍伐香柏木; 我的仆人要与你的仆人一起工作; 至于你的仆人的工资, 我必按照你所说的付给你, 因为你也知道, 我们中间没有人像西顿人那样善于砍伐树木. ”

5:7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be Yahweh this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.”
希兰听见了所罗门的话, 就十分欢喜, 说: “今天耶和华是应当称颂的, 因为他赐给了大卫一个有智慧的儿子治理这么众多的人民. ”

5:8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard what you have sent to me; I will do all of your desire concerning the timber of cedars and concerning the timber of cypresses.
于是希兰派遣人去见所罗门, 说: “你派人来向我所传的消息, 我都听到了. 关于香柏木和松木的事, 你心所愿的, 我都照办.

5:9 My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will make them into rafts in the sea to float to the place which you indicated to me. Then I shall break them up there, and you may carry them further, and you shall meet my needs by giving food for my house.”
我的仆人要把这些木材从黎巴嫩运下海中; 我会把木材扎成木筏, 从海上运到你指定我的地方去. 我在那里把木材拆开, 你就可以运走. 你也要成全我的心愿, 用粮食供应我家. ”

5:10 So Hiram was giving to Solomon the cedar timbers and the cypress timbers, everything he needed.

耶和华照着他应许所罗门的, 把智慧赐给他. 希兰与所罗门之间, 彼此和平相处, 二人互相立约.

5:13 Then King Solomon conscripted a forced labor from all Israel, and the forced labor numbered thirty thousand men.
所罗门从以色列众人中征召作苦工的人, 这些作苦工的人共有三万,

5:14 He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand every month; the work groups were a month in Lebanon and two months at home; now Adoniram was over the forced labor.
派他们轮班上黎巴嫩山去, 每月一万人; 他们一个月在黎巴嫩山上, 两个月在家里. 管理这些作苦工的是亚多尼兰.

所罗门的工匠,希兰的工匠和迦巴勒人把石头凿好, 又预备建造殿宇用的木料和石料.

I Kings - Chapter 6

6:1 It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites went out from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s rule over Israel, the month of Ziv (that is the second month), that he began to build the house for Yahweh.
以色列人出埃及地以后四百八十年, 所罗门作以色列王的第四年西弗月, 就是二月, 他动工建造耶和华的殿.

6:2 Now the house that King Solomon built for Yahweh was sixty cubits in its length and twenty cubits in its width and thirty cubits in its height.
所罗门为耶和华所建的殿, 长二十七公尺, 宽九公尺, 高十三公尺半.

6:3 The vestibule on the face of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits in its length, and the width of the temple was ten cubits wide on the face of the temple.
殿的前廊长九公尺, 和殿的宽度一样, 宽四公尺半.

6:4 And he made for the temple specially designed framed windows,
又为殿做了窗架子内宽外窄的窗户.

6:5 and he built a structure against the wall of the temple running all along the walls of the house, for the outer sanctuary and for the inner sanctuary, and made side rooms all around.
紧靠殿墙, 就是围着外殿和内殿的墙, 他又建造平台, 围绕殿的四周, 做成厢房.

6:6 The lower structure was five cubits in its width and the middle was six cubits in its width and the third was seven cubits in its width, for he made niches for the temple all around to the outside, so that beams would not attach to the walls of the temple.
厢房的下层宽两公尺两公寸; 中层宽两公尺七公寸; 第三层宽三公尺一公寸. 他在殿墙外面四周留有暗架, 所以梁木不必插入殿墙里.

6:7 Now while the temple was being built, it was built with stones finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or stone shaping tool or any instrument of iron was heard in the temple as it was being built.
建殿是用采石场预备好了的石料; 所以建殿的时候, 在殿里听不到锤子,斧头或任何铁器的声音.

6:8 The doorway of the side room in the middle of the side of the temple was on the south; they went up with a stairway to the middle and from the middle to the third floor.
厢房的下层门在殿的右边, 人可以从螺旋形梯子上厢房的中层, 再从中层上到第三层.

6:9 So he built the house and finished it. He covered the temple with rafters and wood planks and with the cedars.
所罗门建殿, 建造完成以后, 就用香柏木的栋梁和香柏木的木板做殿的天花板.

6:10 He also built the structure against all of the temple five cubits in height and fastened it to the temple with beams of cedar.
靠着圣殿所建的厢房, 每层高两公尺两公寸, 都用香柏木的梁木与殿连接.

6:11 Then the word of Yahweh came to Solomon, saying,
耶和华的话临到所罗门说:

6:12 “Regarding this temple that you are building: if you walk in my ordinances and if you do my judgments and you keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my promise with you which I made to David your father.
“关于你正在建造的这殿, 如果你遵行我的律例, 实行我的典章, 谨守我的一切诫命, 并且照着去行, 我就必向你实现我应许你父亲大卫的话.

6:13 And I will dwell among the Israelites, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
我必住在以色列人中间, 也必不离弃我的子民以色列. ”

6:14 So Solomon built the temple and finished it.
所罗门建殿, 并且建造完成.

6:15 He lined the walls of the inside of the house with boards of cedar; from the floor of the temple up to the rafters of the ceiling he covered them with wood on the inside. He also covered the floor of the temple with cypress boards.
殿内的墙壁, 从地面到天花板, 都贴上香柏木, 殿内的地面, 都铺上松木板.

6:16 He built twenty cubits from the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor up to the ceiling, and he built for it an inner sanctuary on the inside, as the most holy place.
又建内殿长九公尺, 从地面到天花板, 他用香柏木板隔开, 成为至圣所.

6:17 The main hall of the temple was forty cubits in front of the inner sanctuary,

他在殿中预备了内殿, 好把耶和华的约柜安放在那里.

6:20 In front, the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold and covered the altar with cedar.
内殿长九公尺, 宽九公尺, 高九公尺; 内部都贴上精金, 用香柏木做的坛也贴上精金.

殿的内部所罗门都贴上精金, 把金链挂在内殿的前面, 内殿也都贴上精金.

第一个基路伯一边的翅膀长两公尺两公寸, 另一边的翅膀也是两公尺两公寸; 由这翅膀尖到那翅膀尖共有四公尺四公寸.

6:25 The second cherub was ten cubits according to the same measurement, and there was one shape for the two cherubim.

6:26 The height of the first cherub was ten cubits and so was the second cherub.
第一个基路伯高四公尺四公寸, 第二个基路伯也是一样.

6:27 He placed the cherubim in the middle of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubim; the wing of the first cherub touched against the wall and the wing of the second cherub was touching against the second wall; their wings spread to the middle of the house and were touching wing to wing.
他把两个基路伯安放在内殿里面, 基路伯的翅膀是张开的; 这一个基路伯的一个翅膀接到这边的墙壁, 另一个基路伯的一个翅膀接到另一边的墙壁, 他们另外的两个翅膀在殿的中间彼此相接.

6:28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
他又把这两个基路伯贴上金子.

6:29 On all of the walls around the house, he carved engravings of cherubim and palm tree images and budding flowers both inside and out.

又在撑子和边缘的上面刻有基路伯,狮子和棕树, 又在各空处, 周围刻上花纹.

7:37 He made the ten stands like this in one cast, with the same measurement and shape for each of them.
他这样做了十个盆座, 铸法,尺寸和样式都是相同的.

7:38 He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths; each basin was four cubits, one basin on each of the ten stands.
他又做了十个铜盆, 每个铜盆能盛水八百公升; 每个铜盆的直径都是一公尺八公寸. 在十个盆座上, 每个都安放一个铜盆.

7:39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the house and five on the north side of the house, and the sea he set on the southeast side of the house.
他把五个盆座放在殿的南边, 五个放在殿的北边, 又把铜海放在殿的南边, 就是靠东南角的地方.

7:40 Hiram also made the basins and the shovels and the bowls for drinking wine; and so Hiram finished doing all of the work that he was to do for King Solomon in the house of Yahweh:
户兰又做了盆子,铲子和碗. 这样, 户兰为所罗门王完成了在耶和华的殿里所要作的一切工程.

7:41 the two pillars and the bowls of the capitals which were atop the two pillars, and the two lattice works to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were atop the pillars;
所做的就是两根柱子和在柱子顶上碗形的柱顶; 两块遮盖柱子顶上碗形柱顶的网子;

7:42 and the four hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the two lattice works, the two rows of pomegranate-shaped ornaments for each latticework to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the surface of the pillars;
在两块网子上的四百个石榴, 每块网子上有两行石榴, 遮盖在柱子上头两个碗形的柱顶;

7:44 and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea;
一个铜海和铜海下的十二头铜牛;

锅,铲子和盘子. 以上这一切器皿都是户兰为所罗门在耶和华的殿里用磨亮的铜做成的.

7:46 The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan with the casting mold set in the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
是王在约旦平原, 在疏割与撒拉之间用泥模铸造的.

7:47 Solomon left all of the vessels unweighed because of their very great abundance, so the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
这一切器皿所罗门都没有称算过; 由于数量太多, 铜的重量也无法估计.

7:48 Solomon also made all of the vessels which were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the presence;
所罗门又做了耶和华殿里的一切器具, 就是金坛和放陈设饼的桌子,

7:49 as well as the five lampstands of beaten gold at the south and five lampstands at the north before the presence of the inner sanctuary, with the flower-shaped ornaments, the lamps, and the pair of tongs all of gold.
内殿前面的精金灯台, 右边五行, 左边五行; 还有金花,金灯盏,

7:50 The cups, the snuffers, the bowls for drinking wine, the bowls for the incense, and the firepans were made from beaten gold; the facades for the doors of the inner house, for the most holy place, for the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
精金的碗盆,烛剪,盘子,调羹和火鼎, 内殿至圣所的门框和外殿的门枢.

7:51 When all of the work which king Solomon did on the house of Yahweh was completed, Solomon brought out the holy objects of his father David, the silver and the gold and the vessels, which he put in the treasury rooms of the house of Yahweh.
这样, 所罗门为耶和华的殿所作的一切工程都完成了. 所罗门把他父亲大卫分别为圣的金银和器皿, 都运了来, 存放在耶和华殿的库房里.

I Kings - Chapter 8

8:1 At that time, Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families of the Israelites before King Solomon, in order to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, that is, Zion.
那时, 所罗门把以色列的长老,各支派的首领和以色列的族长, 都召集到耶路撒冷自己面前, 要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城, 就是锡安运上来.

8:2 All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon at the festival in the month of Ethnaim, that is, the seventh month.
于是, 在以他念月, 就是七月, 在守节期的时候, 以色列众人都聚集到所罗门王那里.

8:3 All the elders of Israel came, and the priests carried the ark.
以色列的众长老都来到了, 祭司们就把约柜抬起来.

8:4 So they brought up the ark of Yahweh and the tent of assembly and all of the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up.
祭司和利未人把耶和华的约柜,会幕和会幕里的一切圣器具都运上来.

8:5 King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel who were assembling with him in the presence of the ark were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered because of abundance.
所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全体会众, 都一同在约柜前献牛羊为祭, 数目多得不可胜数, 无法计算.

8:6 The priests brought the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim,
祭司把耶和华的约柜抬进内殿为它预备的地方, 就是至圣所, 放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下.

8:7 for the cherubim were spreading their wings over the place of the ark. The cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles from above.
因为基路伯展开翅膀在约柜所在地的上面, 遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠.

8:8 The poles were long, and the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from the outside, and they are there until this day.
这些杠很长, 在内殿前的圣所可以看见杠头, 在殿外却看不见; 直到今日, 这些杠还在那里.

8:9 There was not anything in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses had placed there at Horeb, where Yahweh made a covenant with the Israelites after they went out from the land of Egypt.
约柜里面只有两块石版, 这两块石版在以色列人出埃及地以后, 耶和华与他们立约的时候, 摩西在何烈山放在那里的.

8:10 When the priests went out from the holy place, the cloud filled the house of Yahweh.
祭司从圣所里出来的时候, 有云彩充满耶和华的殿,

8:11 The priests were not able to stand to minister because of the presence of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.
因为云彩的缘故, 祭司不能站立服事, 因为耶和华的荣光充满了圣殿.

8:12 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the very thick cloud.
那时, 所罗门说: “耶和华曾说, 他要住在密云中.

8:13 I have certainly built a lofty house for you, a place for you to live forever.”
现在我果然为你建造了一座巍峨的殿, 作你永远的居所. ”

8:14 Then the king turned his face around, and he blessed all of the assembly of Israel. (Now all the assembly of Israel was standing).
于是王把脸转过来, 为全体以色列会众祝福, 全体以色列会众都站着.

8:15 Then he said, “Blessed be Yahweh the God of Israel who has promised with his mouth to David my father and fulfilled by his oath, saying,
所罗门说: “耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的, 因为他亲口对我父亲大卫应许过的, 现在他亲手成全了. 他说:

8:16 ‘From the day that I brought out my people Israel from Egypt I have not chosen a city from all the tribes of Israel to build a house where my name might be, but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
‘自从我把我的子民以色列领出埃及的日子以来, 我未曾在以色列的各支派中拣选一座城, 建造殿宇, 作我名的居所; 但我拣选了大卫治理我的子民以色列. ’

8:17 David my father desired to build a house for the name of Yahweh the God of Israel,
我父大卫心里有意要为耶和华以色列的神的名建殿.

8:18 but Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Because you desired to build a house for my name, you did well in that it was within your heart.
但耶和华对我父大卫说: ‘你心里有意为我的名建一座殿, 你这心意是好的.

8:19 However, you will not build the house, but your son who has come from your loins, he shall build the house for my name.’
然而你不要建造这殿, 只有你亲生的儿子, 他必为我的名建造这殿. ’

8:20 Yahweh has carried out his promise which he had made; I have risen in place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel as Yahweh promised, and I have built the house for the name of Yahweh the God of Israel.
现在耶和华已经实现了他说过的话, 我已经起来继承我父大卫, 坐在以色列的王位上, 正如耶和华所说过的. 我也已经为耶和华以色列的神的名建造了这殿.

8:21 I have provided a place there for the ark, in which is the covenant which Yahweh made with our ancestors when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
我又为约柜预备了一个地方. 这约柜里有耶和华的约, 就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候与他们所立的. ”

8:22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all of the assembly of Israel, and he spread out his hands to the heavens,
所罗门当着以色列的全体会众, 站在耶和华的祭坛前, 向天伸开双手,

8:23 and he said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no god like you in the heavens above or on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the loyal love for your servants who are walking before you with all their heart.
祷告说: “耶和华以色列的神啊, 天上地下没有别的神像你; 你对一心在你面前行事为人的仆人守约施慈爱.

8:24 You have kept for your servant David my father what you promised to him, and you have spoken with your mouth, and with your hand you have fulfilled it this very day.
你谨守了你应许过你仆人我父大卫的话. 你亲口说过, 也亲手作成, 正如今天一样.

8:25 So then, O Yahweh, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father what you promised to him, saying, ‘For you, no man will be cut off from before me who will be sitting on the throne of Israel, if only your sons keep their ways to walk before me just as you have walked before me.’
耶和华以色列的神啊, 现在求你谨守你应许你仆人我父亲大卫的话: ‘只要你的子孙谨守他们的行为, 像你在我面前所行的一样, 就必不断有人坐以色列的王位. ’

8:26 So then, O God of Israel, please let your word be confirmed which you have promised to your servant David my father.
以色列的神啊, 现在求你成就你应许你仆人我父大卫的话吧!

8:27 For will God really dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens could not contain you! How could this house that I have built?
“神真的住在地上吗? 看哪! 天和天上的天尚且不能容纳你, 何况我建造的这殿呢?

8:28 You must regard the prayer of your servant and his plea! O Yahweh my God, listen to the pleading and to the prayer that your servant is praying before you this day,
然而耶和华我的神啊, 求你垂顾你仆人的祷告和恳求, 垂听你仆人今天在你面前所作的呼吁和祷告.

8:29 so that your eyes will be open to this house night and day, to the place which you said, ‘My name will be there,’ to hear the prayer that your servant prays toward this place.
愿你的眼睛昼夜看顾这殿, 看顾你所说‘我的名要留在那里’的地方. 愿你垂听你仆人向这地方所发的祷告.

8:30 You must listen to the plea of your servant and your people Israel which they pray toward this place; and you must hear from the place where you live, from heaven you must hear and you must forgive.
你仆人和你的子民以色列向这地方祷告的时候, 求你垂听他们的恳求. 求你在天上的居所垂听, 垂听而赦免.

8:31 If a man sins against his neighbor and he pronounces an oath against him to curse him, and the curse comes before your altar in this house,
“如果有人得罪他的邻居被迫起誓, 他来到这殿在你的祭坛前起誓的时候,

8:32 then you shall hear in heaven and you shall act and you shall judge your servant, to declare the wicked guilty by bringing his way upon his head and to declare the righteous innocent by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
求你在天上垂听, 采取行动, 审判你的仆人, 定恶人有罪, 使他所行的, 都归到他自己的头上. 定义人有理, 照着他的公义赏赐他.

8:33 When your people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they sinned against you, and when they turn to you and confess your name and pray and beg for mercy from you in this house,
“你的子民以色列若是得罪了你, 以致在仇敌面前被打败, 又回转归向你, 承认你的名, 在这殿里向你祷告恳求的时候,

8:34 then you shall hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and you shall bring them back to the ground which you gave to their ancestors.
求你在天上垂听, 赦免你的子民以色列的罪, 领他们返回你赐给他们列祖之地.

8:35 When you shut up the heavens so there is no rain because they have sinned against you, then they pray to this place and they confess your name and they return from their sin because you punished them,
“如果他们因为得罪了你, 天就闭塞不下雨; 他们若是向这地方祷告, 承认你的名; 又因你苦待他们, 就离开他们的罪,

8:36 then you shall hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants and your people Israel, for you will teach them the good way in which they should go, and you will give rain upon your land which you have given to your people as an inheritance.
求你在天上垂听, 赦免你仆人和你的子民以色列的罪, 指示他们当行的善道, 赐雨水在你的地上, 就是你赐给你子民的产业之地.

8:37 If there should be in the land famine or disease, if there should be blight or mildew or locust or caterpillars, if it happens that his enemy lays siege against him in the land of his gates, if any plague or any disease,
“如果这地有饥荒,瘟疫,旱风,霉烂,蝗虫,蚂蚱, 或有仇敌把他们围困在城里, 无论遭遇什么灾祸, 什么疾病,

8:38 any prayer or any plea which is offered by any person for all of your people Israel, who each knows the infestation of his own heart and spreads out his palms to this house,
你的子民以色列, 或是众人, 或是个人, 知道自己心里的苦痛, 向这殿伸开双手所作的一切祷告,一切恳求,

8:39 then you shall hear in heaven the place of your dwelling, and you shall forgive and act and give to the man whose heart you know, according to all his ways, for you alone know the heart of all the sons of man.
求你在天上你的居所垂听而赦免, 并且采取行动. 你是知道人心的, 只有你知道万人的心, 求你照着各人所行的报应他,

8:40 Do these things so that they may fear you all the days that they live on the face of the land that you gave to our ancestors.
好使他们在你赐给我们列祖的地上, 一生一世敬畏你.

8:41 Also for the foreigner who is not from your people Israel, and he comes from a distant land because of your name,
“至于不属于你的子民以色列的外族人, 为了你的名的缘故从远地而来,

8:42 (for they shall hear of your great name and your powerful hand and your outstretched arm), and he shall come and pray toward this house,
因为他们听到你的大名,大能的手和伸出来的膀臂, 他们来向这殿祷告的时候,

8:43 you shall hear in heaven, the place of your dwelling, and act according to all that the foreigner calls to you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you as your people Israel, and to know that your name has been invoked over this house that I have built.
求你在天上你的居所垂听, 照着外族人向你呼求的一切而行, 好使地上的万族万民都认识你的名, 敬畏你, 像你的子民以色列一样; 又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你的名下的.

8:44 If your people go out to battle against his enemy in the way that you shall send them and they pray to Yahweh, toward the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,
“如果你的子民出去与仇敌争战, 无论你派他们到哪处, 他们若是向你所拣选的这城, 并向我为你的名建造的这殿祷告,

8:45 then you shall hear in heaven their prayer and their plea, and you shall vindicate them.
求你在天上垂听他们的祷告和恳求, 为他们主持公道.

8:46 “If they sin against you (for there is not a person who does not sin) and you are angry with them and you give them to an enemy and they take them captive to the land of the enemy far or near,
“如果你的子民得罪了你(没有不犯罪的世人), 你向他们发怒, 把他们交给仇敌, 以致仇敌把他们掳到仇敌的地方, 或是远或是近,

8:47 and then they return their heart in the land where they have been taken captive and they return and plead to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned and we did wrong. We acted wickedly,’
在被掳的地方, 他们若是回心转意, 在他们被掳去之地回转, 向你祈求, 说: ‘我们犯了罪了; 我们犯了过了, 我们作了恶事. ’

8:48 if they return to you with all of their heart and with all of their soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive and they pray to you toward their land which you gave to their ancestors, the city that you have chosen and the house that you built for your name,
如果他们在俘掳他们的仇敌的地方, 一心一意回转归向你, 又向着你赐给他们列祖的地方, 向你所拣选的这城, 和我为你的名建造的这殿祷告,

8:49 then you shall hear in heaven, the place of your dwelling, their prayer and their plea, and you shall vindicate them.
求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告和恳求, 为他们主持公道.

8:50 You shall forgive your people who sinned against you, even for all their transgressions which they committed against you. You shall give them compassion before their captors so that they may have compassion on them,
赦免得罪了你的子民, 又赦免他们冒犯你的一切过犯, 使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜悯.

8:51 for they are your people and your inheritance whom you brought from Egypt from the middle of the smelter of iron.
因为他们是你的子民,你的产业, 是你从埃及,从铁炉中领出来的.

8:52 O, that your eyes may be open to the plea of your servant and to the plea of your people Israel, to listen to them in all things when they call to you.
愿你睁开眼睛看顾你仆人的祈求, 和你的子民以色列的祈求, 他们向你呼求的, 愿你都垂听.

8:53 For you have separated them for yourself as an inheritance from all the peoples of the earth, as you promised through the hand of Moses your servant when you brought out our ancestors from Egypt, my Lord Yahweh!”
主耶和华啊! 因为你已经把他们从地上万族万民中分别出来, 作自己的产业, 正如你领我们的列祖出埃及的时候, 借着你的仆人摩西所应许的. ”

8:54 It happened that when Solomon finished praying to Yahweh all of the prayer and this plea, he got up from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling down on his knees with his palms outstretched to heaven.
所罗门在耶和华的祭坛前屈膝下跪, 向天伸开双手, 向耶和华献完了这一切祷告和恳求以后, 就起来,

8:55 He stood and blessed all of the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
站着, 大声给以色列的全体会众祝福, 说:

8:56 “Blessed be Yahweh who gave a resting place to his people Israel. According to all that he promised, not one word has fallen from all of his promises concerning the good which he spoke through the hand of Moses his servant.
“耶和华是应当称颂的. 他照着自己一切所应许的, 赐安息给他的子民以色列人. 借着他的仆人摩西所应许一切美好的话, 一句都没有落空.

8:57 May Yahweh our God be with us as he was with our ancestors, and may he not leave us or abandon us,
愿耶和华我们的神与我们同在, 像与我们的列祖同在一样. 愿他不离弃我们, 也不撇下我们.

8:58 to incline our hearts toward him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his judgments which he commanded our ancestors.
愿他使我们的心归向他, 遵行他的一切道, 谨守他吩咐我们列祖的诫命,律例和典章.

8:59 Let these my words which I pleaded before Yahweh be near to Yahweh our God, by day and by night, to maintain the justice of his servant and the justice of his people Israel as each day requires
愿我在耶和华面前恳求的这些话, 昼夜都不离耶和华我们的神, 好使他天天为他仆人和他的子民以色列人主持公道,

8:60 so that all of the people of the earth may know that Yahweh, he is God; there is none other.
使地上万族万民都知道耶和华是神, 除他以外没有别的神.

8:61 Let your heart be completely with Yahweh our God by walking in his statutes, by keeping his commands as this day.”
所以你们的心要完全归给耶和华我们的神, 遵行他的律例, 谨守他的诫命, 像今天一样. ”

8:62 Then the king and all of Israel with him offered a sacrifice in the presence of Yahweh.
王和所有与他在一起的以色列人都在耶和华面前献祭.

8:63 Solomon sacrificed the fellowship offerings which he offered to Yahweh: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep; and the king and all of the Israelites dedicated the house of Yahweh.
所罗门向耶和华献平安祭, 牛二万二千头, 羊十二万只; 这样, 王和以色列众人为耶和华的殿举行了奉献典礼.

8:64 On that day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard before the house of Yahweh because he offered there the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the fellowship offerings because the bronze altar that was in the presence of Yahweh was too small to hold the burnt offerings and the grain offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings.
那一天, 因为耶和华面前的铜祭坛太小, 容不下燔祭,素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪, 王就把耶和华殿前院子当中的地方分别为圣, 在那里献燔祭,素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪.

8:65 Solomon held the festival at that time and all of Israel with him, a great assembly from Lebo Hamath up to the wadi of Egypt before Yahweh our God, for seven days and seven days, a total of fourteen days.
那时所罗门与从哈马口直到埃及小河的以色列人, 都在耶和华我们的神面前举行盛大的集会, 守节七天, 又七天, 一共十四天.

8:66 On the eighth day, he sent the people away, and they blessed the king, and they went to their tents rejoicing and in good spirits because of all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant and to Israel his people.
到了第八天, 王遣散了众人; 众人都祝福过王以后, 就高高兴兴地回自己的家去. 他们因为看见耶和华向他仆人大卫和他子民以色列所施的一切恩惠, 心中都感到欢喜.

I Kings - Chapter 9

9:1 It happened that as Solomon finished the building of the house of Yahweh, the king’s house, and all the things Solomon desired to do,
所罗门建造完了耶和华的殿,王宫和所罗门渴想建造的一切以后,

9:2 Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him in Gibeon.
耶和华就第二次向所罗门显现, 像先前在基遍向他显现一样.

9:3 Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your plea which you have made before me. I have consecrated this house which you have built, by putting my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
耶和华对他说: “你在我面前所作的祷告和恳求, 我都已经听见了. 你建造的这殿, 我已经把它分别为圣, 要使我的名永远留在那里; 我的眼和我的心也必常在那里.

9:4 As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and with uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep my ordinances and my judgments,
至于你, 如果你像你父亲大卫那样, 存诚实和正直的心在我面前行事为人, 遵行我一切所吩咐你的, 谨守我的律例和典章,

9:5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ‘A man will not be cut off for you from upon the throne of Israel.’
我就必坚固你统治以色列的国位, 直到永远, 正如我应许你父亲大卫说: ‘你的子孙, 总不断有人坐以色列的王位.

9:6 “If ever you or any of your descendants turn from following me and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances that I have set before you and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
你们或是你们的子孙, 若是转去不跟从我, 不遵守我赐给你们的诫命和律例, 去事奉别的神, 敬拜他们,

9:7 then I will cut Israel off from the face of the land that I have given to them, even the house which I have consecrated for my name I will cast away from my face; and Israel shall become a proverb and an object of taunting among all the peoples.
我就必把以色列人从我赐给他们的这地上剪除, 甚至为自己的名分别为圣的这殿, 我也必从我面前把它丢弃不顾, 使以色列人在万族中成为笑谈和讥笑的对象.

9:8 This house shall become a heap of ruins; all those passing by will be appalled by it and hiss, and they will say, ‘On what account did Yahweh do this to this land and to this house?’
这巍峨的殿必成为废墟, 经过的人都必惊讶, 取笑说: 耶和华为什么向这地和这殿这样作啊?

9:9 And they will say, ‘Because they have forsaken Yahweh their God who brought their ancestors out from the land of Egypt and they embraced other gods and bowed down to them and served them. Therefore, Yahweh brought on them all of this disaster.’ ”
人要回答说: 是因为他们离弃了那把他们的列祖从埃及地领出来的耶和华他们的神, 去亲近别的神, 敬拜他们, 事奉他们, 因此耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们. ’”

9:10 It happened at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the house of the king,
所罗门用了二十年的时间来建造耶和华的殿和王宫这两座建筑物.

9:11 since Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with wood of cedar and with wood of cypresses and with the gold according to all his desire, then King Solomon gave twenty cities in the land of the Galilee to Hiram.
因为推罗王希兰曾照着所罗门所喜爱的, 以香柏木,松木和金子帮助他, 于是所罗门王把加利利地的二十座城给了希兰.

9:12 So Hiram went out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, but they were not right in his eyes.
希兰从推罗出来, 看看所罗门给他的这些城. 他不喜欢这些城,

9:13 So he said, “What are these cities that you have given to me, my brother?” So they are called the land of Cabul until this day.
他说: “我的兄弟啊, 这些就是你送给我的城吗? ”于是他给这些城起名叫迦步勒, 直到今日.

9:14 Then Hiram sent to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
希兰送给所罗门约有四千公斤金子.

9:15 This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon conscripted to build the house of Yahweh and his house, the Millo, the walls of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
这是所罗门王征召服劳役的建筑耶和华的殿和他自己的王宫, 以及米罗,耶路撒冷的城墙,夏琐,米吉多和基色的记录.

9:16 Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer and burnt it with fire. He had also killed the Canaanites who were living in the city and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, the wife of Solomon.
先前埃及王法老上来攻取基色, 放火烧城, 杀了住在城里的迦南人, 把城送给自己的女儿,所罗门的妻子作嫁妆.

9:17 Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Lower Beth-Horon,
所以所罗门重建基色,下伯．和仑,

9:18 as well as Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land;
巴拉和在犹大地旷野里的他玛,

9:19 and he also built all of the storage cities which were Solomon’s, the cities for the chariots, the cities for the cavalry, and all of Solomon’s desire that he wanted to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion.
以及属于所罗门所有的一切积货城,屯车城,马兵城, 与所罗门在耶路撒冷,黎巴嫩和他统治的各地他喜爱建造的.

9:20 All of the people who were remaining from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites who were not of the Israelites,
所有亚摩利人,赫人,比利洗人,希未人和耶布斯人余下的人, 他们不是以色列人.

9:21 their children who remained after them in the land, whom the Israelites were not able to completely destroy, Solomon conscripted them for forced labor, until this very day.
他们的子孙仍然留在那地, 以色列人不能灭绝他们. 于是所罗门征召他们作苦工的奴仆, 直到今日.

9:22 But from the Israelites Solomon did not make a slave, but they were the men of war, his officers, his commanders, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and his cavalry.
至于以色列人, 所罗门却没有使他们作奴仆, 而是作他的战士,臣仆,统领,军长,战车长和骑兵长.

9:23 These were the commanders of the overseers who were over the work for Solomon, five hundred and fifty, ruling over the people doing the work.
所罗门有督工五百五十人, 负责管理作工的人和监督工程.

9:24 As soon as the daughter of Pharaoh went up from the city of David to her house which he built for her, then he built the Millo.
法老的女儿从大卫城搬到所罗门为她建造的宫里以后, 所罗门才重建米罗.

9:25 Solomon sacrificed three times a year: burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar that he had built to Yahweh, and he offered incense with it before Yahweh; and so he completed the house.
所罗门每年三次在他为耶和华建造的祭坛上献上燔祭和平安祭; 又在耶和华面前的坛上烧香, 这样, 他完成了建殿的工程.

9:26 King Solomon also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
所罗门王又在以东地,红海边, 靠近以禄的以旬．迦别, 建造船队.

9:27 Hiram sent his servants with the fleet of ships, sailors who knew the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
希兰派遣他船队的仆人, 就是熟悉航海的船员, 与所罗门的仆人一同航海.

9:28 They went to Ophir and imported from there four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and they brought it to King Solomon.
他们到达了俄斐, 从那里取得黄金约有一万四千公斤, 运到所罗门王那里.

I Kings - Chapter 10

10:1 Now the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon regarding the name of Yahweh, and she came to test him with hard questions.
示巴女王听到所罗门因耶和华的名所得的名声, 就来要用难题试试他.

10:2 So she came to Jerusalem with very great wealth; with camels carrying spices, very much gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon, and she spoke to him all that was on her heart.
她带着大批随员到耶路撒冷来, 又有骆驼驮着香料,许多金子和宝石. 她来到所罗门那里, 就把她心里所有的难题都对他说出来.

10:3 Solomon answered all of her questions; there was not a thing hidden from the king which he could not explain to her.
所罗门把她所有的问题都给她解说明白, 没有一件事难倒王, 使王不能回答她的.

10:4 When the queen of Sheba observed all the wisdom of Solomon and the house which he had built,
示巴女王看见所罗门的一切智慧和他建造的宫殿,

10:5 the food of his table, the seat of his servants, the manner of his servants and their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered in the house of Yahweh, she was breathless.
桌上的食物,臣仆的座位,仆人的侍候,他们的服饰,王的酒政和王在耶和华的殿献上的燔祭, 就惊奇得不知所措.

10:6 Then she said to the king, “The report which I heard in my land was true concerning your accomplishments and your wisdom.
于是她对王说: “我在本国听见有关你的事和你的智慧, 原来都是真的;

10:7 I had not believed the report to be true until I came and my eyes had seen, and behold! The half had not been told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report that I had heard.
以前我并不相信那些话, 等到我来了, 亲眼看见, 才知道人告诉我的还不到一半; 你的智慧和财富, 超过我所听闻的.

10:8 Happy are your men and happy are these your servants who stand before you continually hearing your wisdom.
属你的人是有福的, 你的这些臣仆是有福的, 他们常常侍立在你面前, 聆听你的智慧.

10:9 May Yahweh your God be blessed, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel, because of the love of Yahweh for Israel forever, and he has made you king to execute justice and righteousness.”
耶和华你的神是应当称颂的! 他喜悦你, 使你坐在以色列的王位上; 因为耶和华永远喜爱以色列, 所以立你作王, 要你秉行公义. ”

10:10 Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, abundant spices, and precious stones. Spices as these did not come again in such abundance as that which the queen of Sheba brought to King Solomon.
于是示巴女王把约四千公斤金子,大批香料和宝石送给王; 以后奉来的香料再也没有像示巴女王送给所罗门的那么多.

10:11 Moreover, the fleet of ships of Hiram which carried the gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir abundant amounts of almug wood and precious stones.
此外, 从俄斐运金子来的希兰船队, 又从俄斐运了大批檀香木和宝石来.

10:12 The king made a raised structure for the house of Yahweh and for the house of the king out of the almug wood, as well as lyres and harps for the singers. This much almug wood has not come nor been seen again up to this day.
王用檀香木为耶和华的殿和王宫做栏杆, 又为歌唱的做琴瑟. 以后再也没有这样的檀香木运来, 也没有人看见过, 直到今日.

10:13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all of her desire that she asked, besides that which King Solomon freely offered her. Then she turned and went to her land with her servants.
所罗门王照着示巴女王所愿所求的一切赐给她, 另外又厚厚地馈赠她. 于是女王和她的臣仆都返回本国去了.

10:14 The weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
所罗门每年收入的金子重两万三千公斤.

10:15 apart from that of the men of the traders and the profits of the traders, and all the kings of the Arabs and the governors of the land.
另外, 还有从商人和行商的课税, 阿拉伯诸王和国内省长的收入.

10:16 King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold; six hundred measures of gold went up over each shield.
所罗门王用锤炼好的金子做了二百面大盾牌, 每一面大盾牌用金子七公斤;

10:17 Also he made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went up over each of the small shields; and the king put them into the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又用锤炼好的金子做了三百面小盾牌, 每一面小盾牌用金子两公斤. 王把这些盾牌都放在黎巴嫩林宫.

10:18 The king also made a large ivory throne, and he overlaid it with fine gold.
王又做了一个象牙大宝座, 贴上了精金.

10:19 Six steps led up to the throne, and there was a circular top to the throne behind it, and armrests were on each side of the seat, with two lions standing beside the armrests.
那宝座有六级台阶, 宝座的后背有一个圆顶, 座处的两旁有一个扶手. 扶手的旁边各有一只狮子站立着.

10:20 Twelve lions were standing there, six on each of the six steps on either side; nothing like this was made for any of the kingdoms.
在六级台阶上共有十二只狮子站着, 左边一只, 右边一只. 在列国中都没有这样做过.

10:21 All of the drinking vessels of King Solomon were gold, and all the vessels for the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver; it was not considered as something valuable in the days of Solomon.
所罗门的一切杯爵都是金子做的; 黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿也都是精金做的, 没有用银子做的; 原来在所罗门王的时代, 银子算不得什么.

10:22 For the fleet of Tarshish belonged to the king and was on the sea with the fleet of Hiram; once every three years the fleet of Tarshish used to come carrying gold and silver, ivory, apes, and baboons.
因为王有他施船队与希兰船队一同在海上航行. 他施船队三年一次运来金银,象牙,猿猴和孔雀.

10:23 King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth with respect to wealth and wisdom.
所罗门王的财富和智慧, 超过了世界上所有的君王.

10:24 All of the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
世上所有的君王都要求晋见所罗门, 聆听神赋予他心中的智慧.

10:25 They were each bringing his gift; objects of silver and objects of gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules. This used to happen year after year.
他们各人都带着自己的贡物而来, 就是银器,金器,衣裳,军械,香料,马和骡等, 年年都是这样.

10:26 Solomon gathered chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses. He stationed them in the cities of the chariots and with the king in Jerusalem.
所罗门聚集战车和骑兵, 他有战车一千四百辆, 骑兵一万二千人, 安置在屯车城和耶路撒冷, 就是与王在一起.

10:27 The king made the silver in Jerusalem as the stones, and the cedars he made as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah in abundance.
王在耶路撒冷使银子好像石头一样, 使香柏木好像平原的桑树那么多.

10:28 The import of the horses which were Solomon’s was from Egypt and from Kue; the traders of the king received horses from Kue at a price.
所罗门的马是从埃及和古厄运出来的, 是王的商人从古厄按着定价买来的.

10:29 A chariot went up and went out from Egypt at six hundred silver shekels and a horse at a hundred and fifty. So it was for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Aram; by their hand they were exported.
从埃及运上来的车, 每辆银子六千八百四十克, 马每匹一千七百一十克. 赫人众王和亚兰(“亚兰”即今天“叙利亚”一带的地方)诸王也都是这样经他们的手买来的.

I Kings - Chapter 11

11:1 King Solomon loved many foreign women: the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, Hittite;
所罗门王除了法老的女儿以外, 又宠爱许多外族女子, 就是摩押女子,亚扪女子,以东女子,西顿女子和赫人女子等.

11:2 from the nations which Yahweh had said to the Israelites, “You shall not marry them, and they shall not marry you. They will certainly turn your heart after other gods.” But Solomon clung to them to love.
关于这些国家的人, 耶和华曾经吩咐以色列人: “你们不可与他们往来通婚, 否则他们必会引诱你们的心, 去随从他们的神. ”但所罗门深深爱恋这些女子.

11:3 He had seven hundred princesses and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart.
所罗门有妃七百, 都是公主; 有嫔三百. 他的妃嫔使他的心偏离了神.

11:4 It happened at the time of Solomon’s old age that his wives guided his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully with Yahweh his God as the heart of David his father had been.
所罗门年老的时候, 他的妃嫔诱惑他的心偏离了神去随从别的神. 他的心不像他的父亲大卫那样完全归于耶和华他的神.

11:5 Solomon went after Ashtoreth the god of the Sidonians and after Molech the abhorrence of the Ammonites.
因为所罗门随从西顿人的女神亚斯他录, 和亚扪人可憎的偶像米勒公.

11:6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of Yahweh and did not fully follow after Yahweh as David his father.
所罗门行耶和华看为恶的事, 不效法他的父亲大卫完完全全跟从耶和华.

11:7 At that time, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, on the mountain which faces Jerusalem and for Molech, the abomination of the Ammonites.
那时, 所罗门为摩押人可憎的偶像基抹和亚扪人可憎的偶像摩洛, 在耶路撒冷东面的山上建造邱坛.

11:8 Thus he did for all of his foreign wives, offering incense and sacrificing to their gods.
他为他娶自外族的妃嫔都这样作; 她们都向自己的神烧香献祭.

11:9 Yahweh was angry with Solomon, for he had turned his heart from Yahweh, the God of Israel who had appeared to him twice.
耶和华向所罗门发怒, 因为他的心偏离了曾经两次向他显现的耶和华以色列的神.

11:10 And he had commanded him concerning this matter not to go after other gods, but he did not keep that which Yahweh commanded.
耶和华为了这事曾经吩咐他, 不可随从别的神, 可是他没有遵守耶和华吩咐的.

11:11 So Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this was with you, and you did not keep my covenant and my ordinances which I have commanded you, I will certainly tear the kingdom from you, and I will give it to your servant.
耶和华对所罗门说: “你既然作了这事, 不遵守我吩咐你的约和律例, 我必夺去你的国, 把国赐给你的一个臣子.

11:12 However, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of David your father; from the hand of your son I will tear it away.
然而, 为了你父亲大卫的缘故, 我不会在你有生之日作这事, 我要从你儿子的手中把国夺去.

11:13 Yet all of the kingdom I will not tear away. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”
只是我不把整个国家夺去, 为了我的仆人大卫的缘故, 又为了我所拣选的耶路撒冷的缘故, 我要给你的儿子留下一个支派. ”

11:14 Then Yahweh raised an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, from the descendants of that king in Edom.
于是耶和华兴起一个人敌挡所罗门, 他是以东王的后裔以东人哈达.

11:15 It had happened that when David was at Edom, Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the slain, and he killed every male in Edom.
从前大卫击败以东, 元帅约押上去埋葬阵亡的人的时候, 就把以东所有的男人都杀了.

11:16 For Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months until he exterminated every male in Edom.
约押和以色列人在那里住了六个月, 直到把以东所有的男人都除灭了.

11:17 But Hadad himself had fled, and some Edomite men from the servants of his father with him, to go to Egypt, when Hadad was a young boy.
哈达与他父亲的几个以东臣仆一起逃往埃及, 那时哈达还是一个小孩子.

11:18 They had set out from Midian until they came to Paran where they took men from Paran with them and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. He gave to him a house and assigned food for him and gave him land.
他们从米甸动身, 来到巴兰, 又从巴兰带了几个人来到埃及, 见埃及王法老. 法老吩咐人给他一所房子, 供应他粮食, 又赐他一块田地.

11:19 Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh, and he gave him the sister of his wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen, as wife.
哈达在法老面前十分蒙恩, 以致法老把自己妻子的妹妹, 就是王后答比匿的妹妹, 赐给他作妻子.

11:20 The sister of Tahpenes bore Genubath his son for him, and Tahpenes weaned him in the middle of the house of Pharaoh. Genubath was in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the children of Pharaoh.
答比匿的妹妹给他生了一个儿子, 名叫基努拔. 答比匿使他在法老的宫中长大, 基努拔就与法老的众子一起住在法老的宫中.

11:21 Now Hadad heard in Egypt that David had slept with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Send me away that I may go to my land.”
后来哈达在埃及听说大卫已经与他的列祖同睡, 元帅约押也死了, 哈达就对法老说: “求你容我离去, 我好回到本国去. ”

11:22 Pharaoh said to him, “What do you lack with me that you now are seeking to go to your land?” He said, “No, but you must surely send me away.”
法老问他: “你在我这里有什么欠缺, 竟要回到你本国去呢? ”他回答: “没有什么欠缺, 只求你无论如何让我离开. ”

11:23 God had also raised Rezon the son of Eliada as an adversary against him, who had fled from Hadadezer the king of Zobah, his master.
神又兴起一个人敌挡所罗门, 就是以利亚大的儿子利逊. 他是从他主人琐巴王哈大底谢那里逃出来的.

11:24 He gathered men around him and he became the commander of bandits. When David killed some of them, they went to Damascus and settled there, and they reigned in Damascus.
大卫击杀琐巴人的时候, 利逊招聚了一些人, 自己作了这些土匪的领袖. 他前往大马士革, 住在那里, 又在大马士革作王.

11:25 He was an adversary for Israel all the days of Solomon, and along with the evil that Hadad did, he detested Israel while he reigned over Aram.
在所罗门一生的日子, 利逊都敌挡以色列人. 他恨恶以色列人, 并且作了亚兰人的王. 另外, 哈达也不断为患.

11:26 Now Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah (now the name of his mother was Zeruah, a widow woman), a servant of Solomon rebelled against the king.
所罗门王的臣仆, 尼八的儿子耶罗波安也举手攻击王. 他是洗利达的以法莲人, 他母亲是个寡妇, 名叫洗鲁雅.

11:27 This is the reason that he rebelled against the king: when Solomon built the Millo, he closed the gap of the city of David his father.
他举手攻击王的情形是这样的: 所罗门重建米罗, 修补他父亲大卫城的破口;

11:28 Now the man Jeroboam was a man of ability, and Solomon saw that the young man was a diligent worker, so he appointed him over all of the forced labor for the house of Joseph.
耶罗波安这个人原是个有才干的人. 所罗门见这个年轻人作事殷勤, 就派他管理约瑟家的所有奴工.

11:29 It happened at that time that Jeroboam went out from Jerusalem, and he accidentally met Ahijah the Shilonite the prophet on the way. Now he had clothed himself with new clothing. While the two of them were alone in the field,
有一次, 耶罗波安从耶路撒冷出来, 示罗人亚希雅先知在路上遇见他. 亚希雅身上穿着一件新衣, 那时田野里只有他们二人.

11:30 Ahijah took hold of the new cloak which was on him and tore it into twelve pieces.
亚希雅拿着自己身上所穿的新衣, 把它撕成十二片,

11:31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes,
对耶罗波安说: “你拿十片去吧! 因为耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘看哪, 我必从所罗门的手里把国夺去, 把十个支派赐给你.

11:32 but one tribe shall be for him, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel;
但是为了我的仆人大卫和为了我从以色列众支派中所拣选的耶路撒冷的缘故, 所罗门仍然可以拥有一个支派.

11:33 because he has forsaken me, and they bowed down to Ashtoreth, the god of the Sidonians, to Chemosh, the god of Moab, and to Molech, the god of the Ammonites. They did not walk in my ways to do right in my eyes, my ordinances, or my judgments, as did David his father.
因为他们离弃了我, 去敬拜西顿人的女神亚斯他录,摩押人的神基抹和亚扪人的神米勒公, 没有遵行我的道, 行我眼中看为正的事, 谨守我的律例典章, 像他的父亲大卫一样.

11:34 But I will not take all of the kingdom from his hand, but I will make him a leader all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my ordinances.
但是, 我不会把整个国家从他的手里夺去, 我必使他终身作人君, 是因我所拣选的仆人大卫谨守了我的诫命律例的缘故.

11:35 But I will take the kingship from the hand of his son, and I will give ten tribes to you.
我要从他儿子的手中把国夺去, 赐给你十个支派.

11:36 To his son I will give one tribe in order to be a lamp for my servant David, always before my face, in Jerusalem the city in which I have chosen to place my name.
至于所罗门的儿子, 我要给他一个支派, 好使我的仆人大卫在我所拣选立我名的城耶路撒冷, 在我面前常常有灯光.

11:37 You I will take, and you shall reign over all your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
我要拣选你, 使你可以照心里想望的去统治. 你必作以色列的王.

11:38 It shall be that if you listen to all that I command you and you walk in my ways and you do right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you, and I will build an enduring house for you as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.
你若是听从我吩咐你的一切, 遵行我的道, 行我看为正的事, 谨守我的律例诫命, 像我的仆人大卫所行的一样, 我就与你同在, 为你建立一个巩固的朝代, 像我为大卫建立的一样, 并且我要把以色列赐给你.

11:39 I will punish the offspring of David on account of this; however, not always.’ ”
因此, 我要使大卫的后裔遭受苦难, 不过, 却不是永远的. ’”

11:40 Then Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam got up and fled to Egypt, to Shishak the king of Egypt, and he remained in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
于是所罗门想要杀死耶罗波安, 耶罗波安却逃往埃及去, 到了埃及王示撒那里, 就留在埃及, 直等到所罗门死了为止.

11:41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon and all that he did and his wisdom; are they not written on the scroll of the acts of Solomon?
所罗门其余的事: 他所行的和他的智慧, 不是都写在《所罗门记》上吗?

11:42 All the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel were forty years.
所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年.

11:43 Then Solomon slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David his father, and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
所罗门与他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在他父亲大卫的城里. 他的儿子罗波安接续他作王.

I Kings - Chapter 12

12:1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all of Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
罗波安往示剑去, 因为以色列众人都到了示剑, 要立他作王.

12:2 It happened that Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it while he was still in Egypt where he had fled from the face of King Solomon, and Jeroboam had lived in Egypt.
尼八的儿子耶罗波安那时因逃避所罗门的面, 仍然住在埃及, 他听见了这事.

12:3 So they sent and summoned him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came. Then they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
以色列人就派遣人去请他来, 于是耶罗波安和以色列全体会众都来见罗波安, 告诉他说:

12:4 “Your father made our yoke heavy; now lighten the hard labor of your father and the heavy yoke which he placed on us, and we will serve you.”
“你父亲加给我们的重担, 现在求你减轻你父亲使我们作的苦工和加在我们背上的重担, 我们就服事你. ”

12:5 He said, “Go up for three days and then return to me”; so the people went away.
罗波安回答他们: “你们暂时回去, 三天以后再来见我. ”众民就离开了.

12:6 Then King Rehoboam consulted with the old men who had been serving before Solomon his father when he was alive, saying, “How are you advising me to answer this people?”
罗波安王请教他父亲所罗门在世的时候, 侍立在他面前的长老说: “你们给我出个主意, 我应该怎样回答这民呢? ”

12:7 They said to him, “If you will be a servant today to this people, then you will serve them; and if you answer them and speak good words to them, they will always be your servants.”
长老对他说: “今天如果王作这民的仆人, 服事他们, 用好话回答他们, 他们就常作王的仆人. ”

12:8 But he rejected the advice of the old men, which they gave him, and he consulted with the youngsters who had grown up with him, who were serving before him.
可是王拒绝了老年人给他出的主意, 反去请教那些与他一起长大, 侍立在他面前的年轻人,

12:9 He said to them, “What are you advising that we should reply to this people who spoke to me by saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us.’ ”
问他们: “你们的主意怎样, 我应该怎样回复这民? 他们对我说: ‘请你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的重担. ’”

12:10 Then the youngsters who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall say to this people who spoke to you: ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you lighten it for us,’ you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
那些与他一同长大的年轻人回答他: “这民对王说: ‘你父亲加重我们的重担, 现在求你减轻我们的重担. ’你要这样回答他们: ‘我的小指头比我父亲的腰还粗!

12:11 So then, my father loaded a heavy yoke on all of you, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions!’ ”
我父亲把一个重担加在你们身上, 我要使你们负更重的重担; 我父亲用鞭子责打你们, 我要用蝎子鞭责打你们. ’”

12:12 Jeroboam and all of the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had spoken: “Return to me on the third day.”
耶罗波安和众民, 照王所说“三天以后再来见我”的那话, 第三天来见罗波安.

12:13 Then the king answered all the people harshly, as he had rejected the advice of the old men that they had offered.
王严厉地回答众人. 他拒绝了老年人给他所出的主意,

12:14 He spoke to them according to the advice of the youngsters, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add onto your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.”
却照着年轻人给他所出的主意, 对他们说: “我父亲加重你们所负的重担, 我要使你们负更重的重担; 我父亲用鞭子责打你们, 我要用蝎子鞭责打你们. ”

12:15 So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turning of events from Yahweh in order to fulfill his word which Yahweh had spoken through the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
王不肯听从民众的请求, 因为这个转变是出于耶和华, 为要应验他借示罗人亚希雅对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话.

12:16 When all of Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What share do we have in David? There is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now look to your house, David!” Then Israel went to their tents.
以色列众人见王不肯听从他们的请求, 就回答王说: “我们在大卫里面有什么分呢? 我们在耶西的儿子里面也没有产业; 以色列人哪, 回你们自己的家去吧! 大卫啊, 照顾你自己的家吧! ”于是以色列人都回自己的家去了.

12:17 The Israelites were living in the cities of Judah, and Rehoboam was reigning over them.
不过住在犹大各城的以色列人, 罗波安仍然作他们的王.

12:18 King Rehoboam sent Adoram who was over the forced labor, and all of Israel cast stones at him and he died, but King Rehoboam managed to get up on the chariot to flee to Jerusalem.
罗波安王差派掌管作苦工之人的亚多兰往以色列人那里去, 以色列众人却用石头打死他. 罗波安王急忙上车逃回耶路撒冷去了.

12:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
这样, 以色列人背叛了大卫家, 直到今日.

12:20 It happened that just when all of Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all of Israel. Not one followed after the house of David except the tribe of Judah alone.
以色列众人听说耶罗波安回来了, 就派人去请他到会众面前, 立他作以色列的王; 除了犹大支派以外, 没有跟随大卫家的.

12:21 When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all of the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand choice troops to fight with the house of Israel, to restore the kingship to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
罗波安来到耶路撒冷, 就召集了犹大全家和便雅悯支派精选的战士十八万人, 要与以色列家争战, 好把国夺回, 重归所罗门的儿子罗波安.

12:22 Then the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
但是, 神的话临到神人示玛雅, 说:

12:23 “Say to Rehoboam the son of Solomon the king of Judah and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin and the remainder of the people, saying,
“你去告诉所罗门王的儿子犹大王罗波安,犹大全家和便雅悯, 以及其余的人民, 说:

12:24 ‘Thus says Yahweh: “You shall not go up and you shall not fight with your brothers the Israelites. Return each of you to his house, for this thing was from me.” ’ ” So they heeded the word of Yahweh, and they returned to go home according to the word of Yahweh.
‘耶和华这样说: 你们不可上去, 不可与你们的兄弟以色列人争战. 你们各自回家去吧! 因为这事是出于我. ’”众人就听从了耶和华的话, 照着耶和华的话回家去了.

12:25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and he resided in it. Then he went out from there and built Penuel.
耶罗波安在以法莲山地修筑了示剑城, 就住在城中, 又从那里出去, 修建了毗努伊勒.

12:26 Then Jeroboam said to himself, “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David
耶罗波安心里说: “现在这国仍然要归回大卫家.

12:27 if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem. The heart of this people will return to their master Rehoboam the king of Judah, and they shall kill me and return to him.”
这民若是上去, 在耶路撒冷耶和华的殿里献祭, 这民的心就必归向他们的主犹大王罗波安, 他们必把我杀了, 然后回到犹大王罗波安那里去. ”

12:28 And the king had decided, so he made two golden calves and he said to them, “You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”
王打定了主意, 就做了两个金牛犊, 对众民说: “以色列人哪, 你们上耶路撒冷去实在够了. 看哪, 这是你们的神, 就是从埃及地领你们上来的那位. ”

12:29 He put one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
他就把一个牛犊安放在伯特利, 一个安放在但.

12:30 This thing became a sin, and the people walked before the one as far as Dan.
这事成了以色列人的罪, 因为众民都到但那个牛犊面前敬拜.

12:31 Then he built the houses on the high places, and he appointed priests from all walks of life who were not from the sons of Levi.
耶罗波安在邱坛那里建殿, 把不是利未子孙的平民立为祭司.

12:32 Jeroboam also inaugurated a religious feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, like the religious feast which was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. Thus he did in Bethel, by sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
耶罗波安又定了八月十五日为节期, 像在犹大的节期一样, 他自己在祭坛上献祭, 他在伯特利也是这样向他所铸造的牛犊献祭; 他又在伯特利为他所建造的邱坛设立祭司.

12:33 He offered sacrifices on the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month which his heart had devised. He inaugurated a religious feast for the Israelites, and he went up to the altar to offer incense.
八月十五日, 就是他心里私定作为以色列人节期的日子, 他在伯特利在自己所建的祭坛上献祭烧香.

I Kings - Chapter 13

13:1 Suddenly a man of God from Judah came to Bethel, by the word of Yahweh, while Jeroboam was standing at the altar to offer incense.
有一个神人, 奉耶和华的命令, 从犹大来到伯特利; 那时, 耶罗波安正站在祭坛旁边烧香.

13:2 Then he proclaimed against the altar by the word of Yahweh and said, “O altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall burn on you.’ ”
神人奉耶和华的命令, 向那祭坛喊叫, 说: “祭坛哪, 祭坛哪, 耶和华这样说: ‘看哪, 大卫家要生一个儿子, 名叫约西亚; 他要把邱坛的祭司, 就是在你上面烧香的, 作祭物献在你上面. 人的骨头也要在你上面焚烧. ’”

13:3 He gave a sign on that day, saying, “This is the sign that Yahweh has predetermined: Look, this altar will be torn apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”
那天, 神人提出一个兆头, 说: “这是耶和华的兆头. 看哪, 这祭坛必破裂, 祭坛上的灰必倾撒下来. ”

13:4 It happened at the moment the king heard the word of the man of God that he cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” But his hand which he stretched out to him was paralyzed, and he was not able to draw it back to himself.
耶罗波安王听见神人向伯特利的祭坛喊叫的话, 就从祭坛上伸手, 说: “抓住他! ”王向他伸出的手却瘫痪了, 不能缩回来.

13:5 Then the altar was torn apart and the ashes from the altar poured out according to the sign which the man of God had announced by the word of Yahweh.
祭坛也破裂了, 灰从祭坛上倾撒下来, 好像神人奉耶和华的命令所提出的预兆一样.

13:6 Then the king responded and said to the man of God, “Please entreat the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me that my hand may return to me.” So the man of God entreated the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king returned to him, as it was in the beginning.
王对神人说: “求你为我向耶和华你的神求情, 又为我祷告, 使我的手复原. ”于是神人向耶和华求情, 王的手就复了原, 像起先一样.

13:7 Then the king spoke to the man of God, “Come with me to the house and refresh yourself, that I may give you a gift.”
王对神人说: “请与我一起回王宫去, 吃点东西, 加添心力, 我还要赐给你一份礼物. ”

13:8 Then the man of God said to the king, “Even if you give to me half of your house I will not come with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water in this place,
神人对王说: “你就是把王宫的一半给我, 我也不会与你回去, 也不在这地方吃饭喝水.

13:9 for the word of Yahweh has commanded me, saying, ‘You shall not eat bread nor drink water, and you shall not return on the way that you came.’ ”
因为有耶和华的话吩咐我说: ‘你不可吃饭喝水, 也不可从你去的原路回来. ’”

13:10 So he went another way, and he did not return by the way on which he had come to Bethel.
于是神人从另一条路去了, 没有从他来伯特利的原路回去.

13:11 Now a certain older prophet was living in Bethel, and his son came and recounted to him all of the things that the man of God had done that day in Bethel and the words he had spoken to the king, and they told them to their father.
有一个老先知住在伯特利, 他的儿子们来告诉他, 那一天神人在伯特利所行的一切事. 他们也把他对王所说的话, 都告诉了他们的父亲.

13:12 Then their father asked them, “Which way did he go?” His sons had seen the way which the man of God who had come from Judah had taken.
他们的父亲问他们: “神人从哪条路走了呢? ”他的儿子们就把从犹大来的神人所走的路, 指给他看.

13:13 Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
他对儿子们说: “给我备驴! ”于是他们给他备驴, 他就骑上,

13:14 and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under the oak and said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”
去追赶神人, 遇见他正坐在橡树底下, 就问他: “你是从犹大来的神人吗? ”他回答: “是的! ”

13:15 Then he said to him, “Come with me to the house and eat some food.”
老先知对他说: “请你与我一起回家去吃饭. ”

13:16 Then he said, “I am not able to return with you or to go with you. I will not eat food nor will I drink water with you in this place.
神人说: “我不能与你回去, 或是与你同行, 也不能与你在这地方吃饭喝水,

13:17 For a word came to me by the word of Yahweh, ‘You shall not eat food, nor shall you drink water there. You shall not return to go by the way that you came.’ ”
因为有耶和华的话对我说: ‘你在那里不可吃饭喝水, 也不可从你去的原路回来. ’”

13:18 Then he said, “I am also a prophet like you. An angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, ‘Let him return with you to your house that he may eat food and drink water.’ ” He lied to him.
老先知对他说: “我是先知, 和你一样. 有一位天使奉耶和华的命令告诉我说: ‘你去带他与你一起回家, 给他吃饭喝水. ’”但是, 老先知是欺骗他的.

13:19 So he returned with him and ate food in his house and drank water.
于是神人与他一起回去, 在他的家里吃饭喝水.

13:20 Now it happened that they were sitting at the table, and the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back.
他们二人正在席上吃喝的时候, 耶和华的话临到那把神人带回来的先知,

13:21 He proclaimed to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Because you have disobeyed the word of Yahweh and have not kept the command which Yahweh your God commanded you,
他就对那从犹大来的神人喊叫, 说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你既然违背了耶和华的命令, 没有谨守耶和华你的神吩咐你的诫命,

13:22 but you have returned and have eaten food and drank water in the place which he ordered you not to eat food nor to drink water, then your dead body shall not return to the tomb of your ancestors.’ ”
反倒回来, 在耶和华吩咐你不可吃饭喝水的地方, 吃了饭喝了水, 因此, 你的尸体不能入葬你列祖的坟墓里. ’”

13:23 It happened after he ate food and drank water that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
吃了饭喝了水之后, 老先知为他带回来的先知备驴.

13:24 When he left, a lion found him on the road and killed him, and his dead body was thrown on the road with the donkey standing beside it, and the lion was standing by the dead body.
他就去了; 在路上有一只狮子遇见了他, 就把他咬死了. 他的尸体被丢在路上, 驴子站在尸体旁边, 狮子也站在尸体旁边.

13:25 As men were passing by and they saw the dead body thrown in the road and the lion standing beside the dead body, they came and told it in the city where the old prophet was living.
有人从那里经过, 看见尸体被丢在路上, 狮子站在尸体旁边, 就来到老先知所住的城里, 述说这事.

13:26 When the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the mouth of Yahweh, and Yahweh has given him to the lion. He tore him in pieces and killed him according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken to him.”
那把神人从路上带回来的先知听见了这事, 就说: “这是那违背了耶和华命令的神人; 耶和华把他交给狮子, 狮子就把他撕裂, 咬死了他, 正如耶和华对他说过的话. ”

13:27 Then he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it.
老先知又吩咐他的儿子们说: “给我备驴. ”他们就备了驴.

13:28 He went and found his dead body thrown in the road and a donkey with the lion standing beside it, but the lion had not eaten the corpse nor attacked the donkey.
于是他去了, 看见神人的尸体被丢在路上, 驴子和狮子都站在尸体旁边, 那狮子并没有吃掉尸体, 也没有撕裂驴子.

13:29 So the prophet lifted up the corpse of the man of God and put it on the donkey and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn him and to bury him.
老先知把神人的尸体抱起来, 放在驴子上, 带回自己的城里, 要为他举哀, 要埋葬他.

13:30 He put his corpse in his tomb, and they mourned over him, “Alas, my brother!”
老先知把他的尸体埋葬在自己的坟墓里; 人们为他举哀, 说: “哀哉, 我兄啊! ”

13:31 It happened after he buried him that he said to his sons, “When I die, you shall bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; you shall lay my bones beside his bones.
埋葬他以后, 老先知就对儿子们说: “我死了以后, 你们要把我埋葬在神人的坟墓里, 把我的骸骨放在他的骸骨旁边.

13:32 For surely, the thing which he proclaimed by the word of Yahweh against the altar which is in Bethel will happen, as it will against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria.”
因为他奉耶和华的命令, 攻击伯特利的坛和在撒玛利亚各城邱坛上的殿所喊叫的话, 必定应验. ”

13:33 After this event, Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but he returned and again made priests for the high places of people from all walks of life. He filled his hand with all his desire and became one of the priests of the high places himself.
这事以后, 耶罗波安还不从他的恶道转回, 竟然把平民立为邱坛的祭司; 愿意的, 他都把他们分别为圣, 立他们为邱坛的祭司.

13:34 This matter became sin in the house of Jeroboam, to make it disappear and to destroy it from the surface of the earth.
这事成为耶罗波安的家的罪, 以致他的家从地上被涂抹与除灭.

I Kings - Chapter 14

14:1 At that time, Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill.
那时, 耶罗波安的儿子亚比雅病了.

14:2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself so that they will not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Look, Ahijah the prophet is there, and he spoke concerning me before I became king over this people.
耶罗波安对他的妻子说: “你起来改装, 使人认不出你是耶罗波安的妻子. 到示罗去, 有亚希雅先知在那里, 他曾对我说, 我必作这民的王.

14:3 You must take ten loaves of bread in your hand and cakes and a jar of honey, and you must go to him. He shall tell you what will happen to the boy.”
你要带十个饼, 一些饼干和一瓶蜜去见他, 他会告诉你孩子将要怎样. ”

14:4 The wife of Jeroboam did so. She got up, went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was not able to see, for his eyes were fixed because of his old age.
耶罗波安的妻子就这样行了. 她动身往示罗去, 到了亚希雅的家; 亚希雅因为年纪老迈, 眼睛昏花, 不能看见.

14:5 Then Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Look, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from you about her son, for he is ill. Thus and so you shall say to her. When she comes, she will be disguising herself.”
耶和华对亚希雅说: “看哪, 耶罗波安的妻子要来向你求问关于她儿子的事, 因为他病了. 你要这样这样告诉她. 她进来的时候, 必装作别的妇人. ”

14:6 It happened at the moment Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps coming through the doorway, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why are you making yourself unrecognizable? I have been sent a hard message for you:
她刚进门的时候, 亚希雅就听见她的脚步声, 就说: “耶罗波安的妻子啊! 进来吧! 你为什么要这样改装呢? 我奉差派要把凶信告诉你.

14:7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: “Because I raised you from the midst of the people and I made you leader over my people Israel,
你去告诉耶罗波安: ‘耶和华以色列的神这样说: 我从人民中提拔了你, 又立了你作治理我的子民以色列的领袖.

14:8 I tore the kingdom from the house of David and I gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David who kept my commandments, and who went after me with all his heart, to do only what is right in my eyes.
我把国从大卫家夺过来, 赏赐给你; 你却不像我仆人大卫那样谨守我的诫命, 一心跟从我, 行我看为正的事.

14:9 But you did more evil than all who were before you. You have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten idols to provoke me, but me you have completely disregarded.
你反倒行恶, 比那些在你以前的更坏; 又去为自己制造了别的神和铸造偶像惹我发怒, 把我丢在背后.

14:10 Therefore, look, I am about to bring disaster upon the house of Jeroboam, and I will cut off males from Jeroboam, bond or free, in Israel. I will burn after the house of Jeroboam as one burns after the manure, until it is finished.
因此, 我必使灾祸临到耶罗波安的家; 我必剪除以色列中所有属于耶罗波安的男丁, 无论是自由的或是不自由的; 我必铲除耶罗波安的家, 像人扫除粪土一样, 直到完全除尽为止.

14:11 He who dies for Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will eat. He who dies in the open field, the birds from the heavens will eat, for Yahweh has spoken it.” ’
属于耶罗波安的人, 死在城里的, 必被狗吃掉; 死在田野的, 必给空中的飞鸟吃掉. 因为这是耶和华说的. ’

14:12 As for you, get up. Go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
所以你起来, 回家去吧, 你的脚一进城, 你的孩子就必死亡.

14:13 All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. This one alone will come to a tomb for Jeroboam, because a good thing has been found in him by Yahweh the God of Israel in the house of Israel.
以色列众人要为他举哀, 把他埋葬; 属耶罗波安的人中, 只有他可以入葬坟墓; 因为在耶罗波安的家中, 只有他向耶和华以色列的神显出善行.

14:14 Yahweh will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will even now cut off the house of Jeroboam this day.
耶和华必为自己兴起一个王治理以色列, 他必剪除耶罗波安家, 今天就是时候了, 就是现在!

14:15 Yahweh will strike Israel as one shakes the reed plant in the water, and he will root Israel up from this good land that he gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the River because they have made their sacred poles which are provoking Yahweh.
耶和华必击打以色列人, 他们就摆动, 像芦苇在水中摆动一样. 他要把以色列人从他赐给他们列祖的这块美地上拔出来, 把他们分散在幼发拉底河那边, 因为他们做了亚舍拉, 惹耶和华发怒.

14:16 He will give up Israel because of the sin of Jeroboam which he sinned and which he caused Israel to sin.”
为了耶罗波安所犯的罪, 又为了他使以色列人所犯的罪, 耶和华必丢弃以色列人. ”

14:17 Then the wife of Jeroboam got up, went, and came to Tirzah. As she was coming to the threshold of the house, the boy died.
耶罗波安的妻子动身离去, 回到得撒; 她一踏进门槛, 孩子就死了.

14:18 They buried him and all of Israel mourned for him, according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
以色列众人把他埋葬了, 又为他举哀, 好像耶和华借着他的仆人亚希雅先知所说的话一样.

14:19 The remainder of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel.
耶罗波安其余的事迹, 他怎样争战, 怎样作王, 都写在以色列诸王的年代志上.

14:20 The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years, and he slept with his ancestors. Then Nadab his son became king in place of him.
耶罗波安作王的日子共二十二年, 就与他的列祖同睡. 他的儿子拿答接续他作王.

14:21 Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which, from all of the tribes of Israel, Yahweh chose to place his name. And the name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonitess.
所罗门的儿子罗波安在犹大作王. 他登基的时候, 是四十一岁; 他在耶路撒冷, 就是耶和华从以色列各支派中所拣选, 在那里立他名的城, 作王十七年. 他的母亲名叫拿玛, 是亚扪人.

14:22 But Judah did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and they annoyed him more than their fathers did with their sins that they had committed.
犹大人行耶和华看为恶的事; 他们所犯的罪, 惹动他的妒忿比他们的列祖更厉害.

14:23 They also built for themselves high places and stone pillars and sacred poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
他们又为自己在各高冈上, 各茂盛树下建造邱坛,神柱和亚舍拉.

14:24 There were also male shrine prostitutes in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh had driven out from before the Israelites.
国内又有男妓, 他们仿效耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的外族人, 行了一切可憎的事.

14:25 It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
罗波安王第五年, 埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷.

14:26 and he took the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and he took all the treasures of the king’s house. He took the small gold shields that Solomon had made,
他夺去了耶和华的宝物和王宫的宝物, 并且把所有的东西都夺去了; 又把所罗门所做的一切金盾牌都夺了去.

14:27 so King Rehoboam made small copper shields in place of them and entrusted them to the commanders of the royal guard who keep the doorway of the king’s house.
罗波安王做了铜盾牌代替那些金盾牌; 交给看守宫门的卫兵队长看管.

14:28 Whenever the king came to the house of Yahweh, the royal guard carried them and brought them back to the alcove room of the royal guard.
王每次进耶和华殿的时候, 卫兵就拿着这些盾牌, 随后又把盾牌送回护卫室里.

14:29 The remainder of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
罗波安其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

14:30 There was always war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
罗波安与耶罗波安之间常有战争.

14:31 Then Rehoboam slept with his ancestors, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son became king in his place.
罗波安与他的列祖同睡, 与他的列祖一同埋葬在大卫的城里. 他的母亲名叫拿玛, 是亚扪人; 他的儿子亚比央接续他作王.

I Kings - Chapter 15

15:1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.
尼八的儿子耶罗波安王第十八年, 亚比央登基作犹大王.

15:2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
他在耶路撒冷作王三年, 他的母亲名叫玛迦, 是押沙龙的女儿.

15:3 He walked in all the sins of his father that he had done before him, and his heart was not fully with Yahweh his God as the heart of David his father.
亚比央行他父亲在他以前所行的一切罪恶. 他的心不完完全全归向耶和华他的神, 像他先祖大卫的心一样.

15:4 For the sake of David, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by establishing his son after him and by causing Jerusalem to exist;
然而, 耶和华他的神却因大卫的缘故, 使他在耶路撒冷仍然有灯光, 兴起他的儿子接续他作王, 并且坚立耶路撒冷.

15:5 because David did right in the eyes of Yahweh and he didn’t turn aside from all that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
因为除了赫人乌利亚那事以外, 大卫都行耶和华看为正的事, 一生之中从来没有偏离耶和华所吩咐他的一切.

15:6 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
亚比央一生的日子中, 罗波安与耶罗波安之间常有战争.

15:7 The remainder of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah? There was also war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
亚比央其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗? 亚比央与耶罗波安之间常有战争.

15:8 Abijam slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son became king in his place.
亚比央与他的列祖同睡, 人们把他埋葬在大卫城里, 他的儿子亚撒继承他作王.

15:9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa became the king of Judah.
以色列王耶罗波安第二十年, 亚撒登基作犹大王.

15:10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
他在耶路撒冷作王四十一年. 他的祖母名叫玛迦, 是押沙龙的女儿.

15:11 Asa did right in the eyes of Yahweh, like David his ancestor.
亚撒行耶和华看为正的事, 像他祖大卫一样.

15:12 He put away the male shrine prostitutes from the land, and he removed all of the idols that his ancestors made.
他从国中除去庙妓, 又除掉他列祖所做的一切偶像.

15:13 Also, he had Maacah his mother removed from the office of queen mother, as she had made a repulsive image for the Asherah. Asa also cut down her repulsive image and burned it in the Wadi Kidron.
并且废除他祖母玛迦太后的后位, 因为她为亚舍拉做了可怕的偶像. 亚撒把她那可怕的偶像砍下来, 在汲沦溪旁烧掉.

15:14 But the high places he did not remove. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was completely with Yahweh all of his days.
只是邱坛还没有废去; 不过亚撒一生都完完全全归向耶和华.

15:15 He brought the holy objects of his father and his own holy objects to the house of Yahweh, silver and gold and utensils.
亚撒把他父亲所分别为圣和他自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿, 都带到耶和华的殿里.

15:16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all of their days.
亚撒与以色列王巴沙在世的日子, 双方常有战争.

15:17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and he built Ramah to hinder the coming and going of anyone to Asa king of Judah.
以色列王巴沙上来攻击犹大, 修筑拉玛, 不准人进出到犹大王亚撒那里.

15:18 Asa took all of the silver and gold remaining in the storerooms of the house of Yahweh and in the treasury rooms of the house of the king, and he gave them into the hand of his servants; so King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,
于是亚撒把耶和华殿和王宫的府库里所剩下的金银, 都交在他臣仆的手中. 亚撒王差派他们到大马士革的亚兰王, 希旬的孙子,他伯利们的儿子便．哈达那里去, 说:

15:19 “Let there be a covenant between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel that he may go up away from me.”
“你父与我父之间曾经立过约, 我也要与你立约. 现在我把金银送给你作礼物, 请你去废除与以色列王巴沙所立的约, 好使他离开我. ”

15:20 Ben-Hadad listened to King Asa, and he sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel and he attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, and all of Kinnereth, in addition to all the land of Naphtali.
便．哈达听从亚撒王的话, 派遣他的众军长去攻击以色列的各城. 他们攻破了以云,但,亚伯．伯．玛迦,基尼烈全境和拿弗他利全地.

15:21 When Baasha heard, he stopped building Ramah, and he lived in Tirzah.
巴沙听见了, 就停止修筑拉玛, 仍然留在得撒.

15:22 Then King Asa proclaimed among all of Israel that there was no one free from obligation, so they carried the stones of Ramah and its wood with which Baasha had built, and King Asa rebuilt Geba in Benjamin with them, and the Mizpah.
于是亚撒王通告犹大众人, 没有一个人例外. 他们就把巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头和木料运走; 亚撒王用那些材料来修筑便雅悯的迦巴和米斯巴.

15:23 The remainder of the acts of Asa, all of his achievements, all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah? But at the time of his old age, he developed a foot disease.
亚撒其余的一切事迹, 他的英勇事迹, 他所行的一切和他所建造的众城, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗? 可是他年老的时候, 脚上却患了病.

犹大王亚撒第三年, 巴沙杀死了拿答接续他作王.

15:29 It happened that as soon as he became king, he killed all of the house of Jeroboam. There was no one left of Jeroboam who breathed, until he had destroyed him according to the word of Yahweh that he had spoken by the hand of his servant, Ahijah the Shilonite,
巴沙一作王, 就击杀了耶罗波安的全家. 凡有气息的, 他都没有留下一个, 直到灭尽了, 正如耶和华借着他的仆人示罗人亚希雅所说的话一样.

15:30 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he had committed and that he had caused Israel to commit and because of his anger with which he had provoked Yahweh the God of Israel.
这是因为耶罗波安所犯的罪, 和他使以色列人陷在罪中的那罪, 又因为他惹动耶和华以色列的神的怒气.

16:1 The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
耶和华的话临到哈尼拿的儿子耶户, 责备巴沙说:

16:2 “Because I exalted you from the dust and I made you a leader over my people Israel, but you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and you caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their sins,
“我既然从尘埃中高举了你, 立你作我的子民以色列的领袖; 然而, 你却走耶罗波安的路, 使我的子民以色列犯罪, 因他们的罪惹我发怒.

16:3 I am now about to consume Baasha and his house. I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
看哪, 我要除灭巴沙和他的家; 我要使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家一样.

16:4 Those who die for Baasha in the city, the dogs will eat; those who die for him in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.”
属巴沙的人, 死在城里的, 必被狗吃掉; 死在田野的, 必被空中的飞鸟吃掉. ”

再者, 耶和华的话借着哈尼拿的儿子耶户先知指责巴沙和他的家, 是因为他像耶罗波安的家一样, 行了耶和华看为恶的事, 以他手所作的惹耶和华发怒, 又因为他击杀了耶罗波安的家.

16:8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel for two years.
犹大王亚撒第二十六年, 巴沙的儿子以拉在得撒登基作以色列的王, 共二年.

16:9 His servant Zimri the commander of half of the chariots conspired against him. Now he had been in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza who was over the palace in Tirzah.
他的臣仆心利, 就是统率他一半战车的军长, 密谋背叛他. 那时他在得撒, 在管理得撒王家的亚杂的家喝醉了,

心利一登基, 坐了王位以后, 就把巴沙的全家击杀了; 连他的亲属和朋友, 也没有留下一个男子.

16:12 So Zimri destroyed all of the house of Baasha according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by the hand of Jehu the prophet
心利这样灭绝巴沙的全家, 是照着耶和华借耶户先知责备巴沙所说的话.

16:13 because of all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son which they committed and which they caused Israel to sin by provoking Yahweh the God of Israel with their idols.
这是因为巴沙和他的儿子以拉的一切罪, 就是他们自己所犯, 又使以色列人陷在罪中的那些罪, 以虚无的神惹耶和华以色列的神发怒.

16:14 The remainder of the acts of Elah and all that he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
以拉其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 不是都记在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

16:15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was encamping against Gibbethon which belonged to the Philistines.
犹大王亚撒第二十七年, 心利在得撒作王七日. 那时, 众人正在安营围攻非利士人基比顿.

心利看见城被攻占, 就走进了王宫的城堡里, 放火焚烧王宫, 自焚而死.

这是因为他所犯的罪, 行耶和华看为恶的事, 走耶罗波安的路, 犯了他使以色列人陷在罪中的那罪.

心利其余的事迹和他密谋背叛的事, 不是都记在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

16:21 At that time, the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people went after Tibni the son of Ginath to make him king, and the other half went after Omri.
那时, 以色列人分成两半: 一半跟从基纳的儿子提比尼, 要立他作王; 一半跟从暗利.

16:22 The people who went after Omri overcame the people who went after Tibni the son of Ginath, so that he died and Omri became king.
跟从暗利的人胜过了跟从基纳的儿子提比尼的人. 提比尼死了以后, 暗利就作了王.

16:23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel for twelve years. He reigned in Tirzah six years,
犹大王亚撒第三十一年, 暗利登基作以色列王共十二年, 在得撒作王六年.

暗利用六十公斤银子, 向撒玛购买了撒玛利亚山. 他在山上建造一城, 按山的原主撒玛的名, 给他所建造的城起名叫撒玛利亚.

16:29 Now Ahab son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
犹大王亚撒第三十八年, 暗利的儿子亚哈登基作以色列王. 暗利的儿子亚哈在撒玛利亚作以色列王, 共二十二年.

16:30 But Ahab son of Omri did evil in the eyes of Yahweh more than all who were before him.
暗利的儿子亚哈行耶和华看为恶的事, 比他以前所有的王更厉害.

16:31 If it wasn’t enough that he went after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he also took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal the king of the Sidonians. He went and served Baal and bowed down to him.
亚哈犯了尼八的儿子耶罗波安所犯的罪, 还以为是小事. 他又娶了西顿王谒巴力的女儿耶洗别作妻子, 去服事巴力, 敬拜巴力.

16:32 And he built an altar to Baal in the house of Baal which he had built in Samaria.
他在撒玛利亚建筑巴力庙, 又在庙里为巴力立了一座祭坛.

16:33 Ahab also made the sacred pole, and he continued to provoke Yahweh the God of Israel more than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
亚哈又做了亚舍拉, 亚哈所行的, 惹耶和华以色列的神发怒, 比他以前所有的以色列王更厉害.

16:34 In his days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho; at the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his younger sibling, he set up its gates, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun.
亚哈在位的日子, 伯特利人希伊勒重建耶利哥城. 他立城的根基的时候, 死了长子亚比兰, 安放城门的时候, 丧了幼子西割, 正如耶和华借着嫩的儿子约书亚所说的话.

I Kings - Chapter 17

17:1 Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, “As Yahweh lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years except by my command.”
提斯比人以利亚, 就是从基列的提斯比来的先知, 对亚哈说: “我指着我所事奉永活的耶和华以色列的神起誓, 这几年若是没有我的命令, 天必不降露, 也不下雨. ”

17:2 Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
耶和华的话临到以利亚说:

17:3 “Go from this place and turn to the east; you must hide yourself in the Wadi Kerith which faces the Jordan.
“你离开这里, 向东方去, 躲藏在约旦河东面的基立溪旁.

17:4 It shall be that you shall drink from the wadi, and I have commanded the crows to sustain you there.”
你要喝那溪里的水, 我已经吩咐乌鸦在那里供养你. ”

17:5 So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh. He went and stayed in the Wadi Kerith which faces the Jordan.
于是以利亚去了, 照着耶和华的话行了; 他去住在约旦河东面的基立溪旁.

17:6 The crows were bringing bread and meat in the morning for him and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.
乌鸦早晨给他送饼和肉来, 晚上也送饼和肉来, 他也喝那溪里的水.

17:7 It happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
过了一些日子, 那溪就干了, 因为没有雨下在地上.

17:8 Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
耶和华的话又临到以利亚说:

17:9 “Get up and go to Zarephath which belongs to Sidon and stay there. Look, I have commanded a woman there, a widow, to sustain you.”
“你起来, 往西顿的撒勒法去, 住在那里; 我已经吩咐那里的一个寡妇供养你. ”

17:10 So he arose and went to Zarephath and came to the gate of the city. There was a widow woman gathering wood, so he called to her, and he said, “Please bring a little water for me in a vessel so that I can drink.”
于是以利亚起来, 往撒勒法去了; 他来到城门口的时候, 就看见一个寡妇在那里捡柴; 以利亚呼叫她, 说: “请你用器皿取点水来给我! ”

17:11 She went to fetch it, and he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
她去取水的时候, 以利亚又叫她, 说: “请你也给我拿点饼来! ”

17:12 She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, surely I do not have a cake, but only a handful of flour in the jar and a little olive oil in the jug. Here I am gathering a few pieces of wood, and I will go and prepare it for me and my son, that we might eat it and die.”
她说: “我指着永活的耶和华你的神起誓, 我没有饼, 缸里只有一把面粉, 瓶里只有一点油. 你看我正在捡两根柴, 然后回去, 为自己和儿子做饼, 我们吃完了, 就等死. ”

17:13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do according to your word; only make for me a small bread cake from it first, and bring it out to me. Make it for yourself and for your son afterward.
以利亚对她说: “不要惧怕, 照着你所说的去作吧, 不过要先为我做一个小饼, 拿出来给我, 然后才为你自己和儿子做饼.

17:14 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘The jar of flour will not be emptied and the jug of olive oil will not run out until the day Yahweh gives rain on the surface of the earth.’ ”
因为耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘缸里的面粉必不会用完, 瓶里的油决不会短缺, 直等到耶和华降雨在地面上的日子. ’”

17:15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah; then both she and he ate with her household for many days.
她就去照着以利亚所说的作了. 她和以利亚, 以及她的家人, 吃了许多日子.

17:16 The jar of flour was not emptied and the jug of olive oil did not run out, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke by the hand of Elijah.
缸里的面粉果然没有用完, 瓶里的油也没有短缺, 正像耶和华借着以利亚所说的话一样.

17:17 It happened after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; and his illness was very severe until there was no breath left in him.
这些事以后, 那妇人, 就是那个家庭的主人的儿子病了. 他的病情十分严重, 以致呼吸都停止了.

17:18 She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, O man of God, that you have come to me to make known my guilt and to cause my son to die?”
于是妇人对以利亚说: “神人哪, 我跟你有什么关系呢? 你竟到我这里来, 使耶和华想起我的罪孽, 杀死我的儿子. ”

17:19 Then he said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him from her lap and carried him up to the upper room where he was staying, and he laid him on his bed.
以利亚对她说: “把你的儿子交给我吧! ”以利亚就从她的怀中把孩子接过来, 抱他上到自己所住的楼上去, 放在自己的床上.

17:20 Then he called to Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh my God, are you also causing evil to come upon the widow with whom I am dwelling as an alien by causing her son to die?”
以利亚呼求耶和华说: “耶和华我的神啊, 我寄居在这寡妇的家里, 你也降祸与她, 使她的儿子死去吗? ”

17:21 He stretched himself out on the child three times and called to Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh my God, please let the life of this child return within him.”
然后, 以利亚三次伏在孩子的身上, 向耶和华呼求说: “耶和华我的神, 求你恢复这孩子的生命吧. ”

17:22 Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned within him, and he lived.
耶和华垂听了以利亚的话, 孩子的生命果然恢复, 活过来了.

17:23 Elijah then took the child and brought him down from the upper room to the house and gave him to his mother. Elijah said, “Look, your son is alive.”
以利亚把孩子抱起来, 从楼上下到屋子里去, 把孩子交给他的母亲; 以利亚说: “看, 你的儿子活了! ”

17:24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now this I know, that you are a man of God and the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth.”
妇人对以利亚说: “现在我知道你是神人, 耶和华借着你的口所说的话是真实的. ”

I Kings - Chapter 18

18:1 It happened many days later that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab so that I may give rain on the surface of the earth.”
过了许久, 到第三年, 耶和华的话临到以利亚说: “你去在亚哈面前出现, 我要降雨在地面上. ”

18:2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.
于是以利亚去了, 要在亚哈面前出现. 那时撒玛利亚发生十分严重的饥荒.

18:3 Ahab summoned Obadiah who was over the house. (Now Obadiah was fearing Yahweh greatly.
亚哈把他的家宰俄巴底召了来. 原来俄巴底是个非常敬畏耶和华的人.

18:4 It had happened that when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in the cave and sustained them with food and water.)
耶洗别除灭耶和华众先知的时候, 俄巴底带走了一百个先知, 每五十个人一组, 分散藏在山洞里, 又用饼和水供养他们.

18:5 Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the wadis. Perhaps we may find green grass that we may keep horses and mules alive and that we might not lose any of the animals.”
亚哈对俄巴底说: “你走遍这地, 到所有的水泉和溪水那里去看看, 也许我们可以找到青草, 使骡马能够生存, 免得牲畜灭绝. ”

18:6 So they divided the land for themselves in order to pass through it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
于是他们分地巡视. 亚哈独自走一路, 俄巴底独自走另一路.

18:7 It happened that Obadiah was on the way, and suddenly Elijah was there to meet him. When he recognized him, he fell on his face and said, “Is this you, my lord Elijah?”
俄巴底在路上走的时候, 以利亚遇见了他. 俄巴底认出他来, 就脸伏在地, 说: “你真是我主以利亚吗? ”

18:8 He said to him, “I am. Go, say to your lord, ‘Elijah is here.’ ”
以利亚对他说: “我是. 你去告诉你主人, 说: ‘以利亚在这里. ’”

18:9 He said, “How have I sinned that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
俄巴底说: “我犯了什么罪, 你竟要把你仆人交在亚哈手里, 使他杀死我呢?

18:10 As Yahweh your God lives, surely there is not a nation or a kingdom to which my lord has not sent me to seek you. If they would say, ‘He is not here,’ then he would make the kingdom or the nation swear that it could not find you.
我指着永活的耶和华你的神起誓, 没有一邦一国我主人不派人去找你的, 人们若是说你不在那里, 他就要那国邦起誓说实在找不到你.

18:11 Now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your lord: “Elijah is here.” ’
现在你说: ‘你去告诉你主人: 以利亚在这里. ’

18:12 And it will happen that I will go from you and the Spirit of Yahweh will carry you up to where I do not know. Then I will come to tell Ahab, but he will not find you, and then he will kill me, even though your servant has feared Yahweh from my youth.
我一离开你, 耶和华的灵就把你提到我不知道的地方去. 这样, 如果我去告诉亚哈, 他找不到你, 必定杀我. 你仆人却是自幼敬畏耶和华的.

18:13 Has it not been told to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh? I hid a hundred men of the prophets of Yahweh by fifties in the cave, and I sustained them with food and water.
难道没有人把我所作的事告诉我主吗? 就是耶洗别杀害耶和华众先知的时候, 我把一百个先知, 五十人一组的分别藏在山洞里, 又用饼和水供养他们.

18:14 Now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your lord: “Elijah is here,” ’ and he will kill me.”
现在你说: ‘你去告诉你主人以利亚在这里! ’他必定杀我. ”

18:15 Elijah said, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will certainly show myself to him today.”
以利亚说: “我指着我所服事永活的万军之耶和华起誓, 今天我必在亚哈面前出现. ”

18:16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and he told him, so Ahab went to meet Elijah.
于是俄巴底去见亚哈, 把这事告诉他. 亚哈就去见以利亚.

18:17 When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is this you who throws Israel into confusion?”
亚哈看见了以利亚, 就问他: “给以色列惹麻烦的这个人就是你吗? ”

18:18 He said, “I did not throw Israel into confusion; rather you and the house of your father have by forsaking the commands of Yahweh when you went after the Baals!
以利亚说: “给以色列惹麻烦的, 不是我, 而是你和你父的家; 因为你们离弃了耶和华的诫命, 又去随从巴力.

18:19 So then, send word and assemble all of Israel to me on Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at the table of Jezebel.”
现在你要派人去召集以色列众人和四百五十个巴力的先知, 以及耶洗别供养的四百个亚舍拉的先知, 都上迦密山来见我. ”

18:20 So Ahab sent word among the Israelites, and he assembled the prophets to Mount Carmel.
于是亚哈派人召集众以色列人和众先知上迦密山去.

18:21 Elijah approached to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping over two opinions? If Yahweh is God, go after him; but if Baal, go after him.” But the people did not answer him a word.
以利亚走近众人说: “你们三心两意, 要到几时呢? 如果耶和华是神, 你们就应当随从耶和华; 如果巴力是神, 你们就应当随从巴力. ”众人一句话也不回答.

18:22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of Yahweh, but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.
以利亚对众人说: “耶和华的先知只剩下我一个, 巴力的先知却有四百五十个.

18:23 Let them give us two bulls, and let them choose for themselves one bull, cut him in pieces, and put it on the wood, but don’t let them start a fire on it. I will prepare the other bull and set it on the wood, but I will put no fire on it.
现在, 请给我们两头公牛. 让巴力的先知自己挑选一头, 把它切成块子, 放在柴上, 但不要点火; 我也预备一头公牛, 摆在柴上, 也不点火.

18:24 Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Yahweh, and it shall be that the god who answers by fire, he is God.” Then all the people answered and said, “The word is good!”
你们呼求你们神的名, 我也呼求耶和华的名. 那降火来显示回答的神就是神了. ”众人都回答: “这话说得很好! ”

18:25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are the majority, and call on the name of your god, but don’t set fire under it.”
以利亚对巴力的众先知说: “你们既然人多, 可以先为自己选一头公牛; 预备好了, 就呼求你们神的名, 但不要点火. ”

18:26 So they took the bull that he allowed to them, prepared it, and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice and there was no answer, so they limped about the altar which they had made.
他们把人给他们的公牛牵了来, 预备好了, 就从早晨直到中午, 呼求巴力的名, 说: “巴力啊, 应允我们吧! ”可是没有声音, 也没有回应. 他们就在所筑的祭坛周围跳舞.

18:27 It happened at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, “Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god! Perhaps he is meditating, or is using the bathroom, or is on a journey. Perhaps he is asleep and must wake up!”
到了中午, 以利亚嘲笑他们, 说: “大声呼求吧, 因为他是神, 也许他正在默想, 或事务繁忙, 或正在旅行, 或正在睡觉, 你们要把他叫醒. ”

18:28 So they called out with a loud voice, and they cut themselves with swords and with spears as was their custom, until the blood poured out over them.
他们就大声呼求, 按着他们的规矩, 用刀和枪刺自己, 直到身体流血.

18:29 It happened as noon passed, they raged until the time of the evening offering, but there was no voice, there was no answer, and no one paid attention.
中午过后, 他们继续狂呼乱叫, 直到献晚祭的时候; 可是仍没有声音, 没有回应, 也没有理睬他们的.

18:30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me,” so all the people came closer to him. He repaired the altar of Yahweh that had been destroyed.
以利亚对众人说: “你们走近我这里来. ”众人就都走近他面前. 他重修已经毁坏了的耶和华的祭坛.

18:31 Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of God came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
以利亚照着雅各子孙支派的数目, 拿了十二块石头. (耶和华的话曾临到雅各说: “你的名要叫以色列. ”)

18:32 With them, he built an altar in the name of Yahweh, and he made a trench which would have held about two seahs of seed, all around the altar.
以利亚奉耶和华的名用这些石头筑了一座坛, 在坛的四周挖沟, 可容十四公升种籽,

18:33 And he arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood. Then he said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”
然后把柴排好, 又把公牛切成块子, 放在柴上, 就说: “你们盛满四桶水, 倒在燔祭和柴上. ”

18:34 He said, “Do it again!” They did it again. He said, “Do it a third time!” So they did it a third time.
又说: “倒第二次. ”他们就倒第二次; 又说: “倒第三次. ”他们就倒第三次.

18:35 The water went all around the altar, and the trench also was filled with water.
水流到祭坛的四周, 甚至水沟里也满了水.

18:36 It happened at the offering of the evening oblation, Elijah the prophet went near, and he said, “O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that I have done all of these things by your words.
到了献晚祭的时候, 以利亚先知近前来, 说: “亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列的神耶和华, 求你今天使人知道你是在以色列中的神, 我是你的仆人, 又是奉你的命令行这一切事.

18:37 Answer me, O Yahweh, answer me; that this people may know that you, O Yahweh, are God and that you have turned their hearts back again.”
耶和华啊, 求你应允我, 应允我! 使这民知道你耶和华是神, 又知道是你使这民的心再回转过来的. ”

18:38 Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and it consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust; and the water which was in the trench it licked up!
于是有耶和华的火降下来, 吞灭了燔祭,木柴,石头和尘土, 连沟里的水也烧干了.

18:39 When all the people saw, they fell on their faces and said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!”
众人看见了, 就面伏于地, 说: “耶和华是神! 耶和华是神! ”

18:40 Then Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; don’t let any man of them escape!” So they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the wadi of Kishon and killed them there.
以利亚对他们说: “捉住巴力的先知, 一个也不要让他们逃脱. ”于是众人捉住他们. 以利亚带他们下到基顺河边, 在那里杀了他们.

18:41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of the noise of rain.”
以利亚对亚哈说: “你上去吃喝吧! 因为已经有下大雨的响声了. ”

18:42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink while Elijah went to the top of Carmel, bent down to the earth, and put his face between his knees.
亚哈就上去吃喝. 以利亚上了迦密山顶, 屈身在地, 把脸放在两膝之间.

18:43 Then he said to his servant, “Please go and look in the direction of the sea.” So he went up and looked; then he said, “There is nothing.” Then he said, “Go back,” seven times.
以利亚对自己的仆人说: “你上去向海那边观看. ”他就上去观看, 说: “什么也没有. ”以利亚说: “你再回去观看. ”这样说了七次.

18:44 It happened that at the seventh time, he said, “Look, there is a small cloud, as the hand of a man, coming up from the sea.” Then Elijah said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Harness your horses and go down, lest the rain stop you.’ ”
到第七次, 仆人说: “我看到一小片乌云, 好像人的手掌那么大, 正在从海里升上来. ”以利亚说: “你上去告诉亚哈: ‘赶快套车下山, 免得被大雨所阻. ’”

18:45 In no time the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was heavy rain. Ahab rode and he went to Jezreel,
霎时之间, 天空因风云而变为黑暗, 随着降下大雨来. 于是亚哈坐上了车, 往耶斯列去了.

18:46 but the hand of Yahweh was on Elijah; he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab as one comes to Jezreel.
耶和华的能力临到以利亚的身上, 以利亚就束上腰, 跑在亚哈的前头, 直跑到耶斯列的城门口.

I Kings - Chapter 19

19:1 Then Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
亚哈把以利亚所行的一切, 和他用刀杀死众先知的一切事, 都告诉了耶洗别.

19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus may the gods do to me, and may they add to it, surely at this time tomorrow I will make your life as the life of one of them!”
耶洗别就差派一个使者去见以利亚说: “明天这个时候, 如果我不使你的性命, 像那些人一样, 愿神明惩罚我, 并且加倍惩罚我. ”

19:3 Then he became afraid, got up, and fled for his life. He came to Beersheba which belongs to Judah, and he left his servant there.
以利亚害怕, 就起来, 逃命去了. 他到了犹大的别是巴, 就把自己的仆人留在那里.

19:4 Then he went into the wilderness one day’s journey, and he went and sat under a certain broom tree. Then he asked Yahweh that he might die, and he said, “It is enough now, Yahweh; take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.”
他自己却在旷野走了一天的路, 来到一棵罗腾树下, 就坐在那里求死, 说: “耶和华啊, 现在已经够了, 求你取我的性命吧, 因为我并不比我的列祖好. ”

19:5 He lay down and fell asleep under a certain broom tree, and suddenly this angel was touching him and said to him, “Get up, eat!”
他躺在那棵罗腾树下, 睡着了. 忽然有一位天使拍他, 说: “起来, 吃吧! ”

19:6 He looked, and behold, a bread cake on hot coals was near his head and a jar of water, so he ate and drank. Then he did it again and lay down.
他张眼一看, 只见头旁有用炭火烤的饼和一瓶水. 他就起来吃喝, 然后又躺下去.

19:7 The angel of Yahweh appeared a second time and touched him and said, “Get up, eat, for the journey is greater than you.”
耶和华的使者第二次回来拍他, 说: “起来吃吧! 因为你要走的路程太远了. ”

19:8 So he got up, ate, drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights up to Horeb, the mountain of God.
于是他起来吃喝, 靠着那食物的力量, 他走了四十昼夜, 直走到神的山, 就是何烈山.

19:9 He came to the cave there and spent the night there. Suddenly the word of Yahweh came to him and asked him, “Elijah, what are you doing here?”
他在那里进了一个洞, 就在洞里过夜. 耶和华的话临到他, 说: “以利亚啊, 你在这里干什么? ”

19:10 Then he said, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant. They have demolished your altars, and they have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left over, and they seek to take my life.
他说: “我为耶和华万军的神大发热心, 因为以色列人背弃了你的约, 拆毁了你的祭坛, 用刀杀死了你的众先知, 只剩下我一个人, 他们还在寻索, 要取去我的性命. ”

19:11 He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Suddenly Yahweh was passing by, with a great and strong wind ripping the mountains and crushing rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
耶和华说: “你出来站在山上, 在我耶和华面前. ”那时, 耶和华从那里经过. 在耶和华面前有强烈的大风, 山崩石碎, 但耶和华不在风中; 风过以后有地震, 但耶和华也不在地震中;

19:12 After the earthquake was a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.
地震过后有火, 耶和华也不在火中; 火后有低微柔和的声音.

19:13 It happened at the moment Elijah heard, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “Elijah, why are you here?”
以利亚听见了, 就用自己的外衣蒙着脸, 走出来, 站在洞口. 忽然有声音向他说: “以利亚啊, 你在这里干什么? ”

19:14 He said, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh the God of Hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, demolished your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword; I alone am left, and they seek to take my life!”
以利亚说: “我为耶和华万军的神大发热心, 因为以色列人背弃了你的约, 拆毁了你的祭坛, 用刀杀了你的众先知, 只剩下我一个人, 他们还在寻索, 要取去我的性命. ”

19:15 Then Yahweh said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. Go and anoint Hazael as king over Aram;
耶和华对他说: “你离去吧, 从你来的路回到大马士革的旷野去. 你到了那里, 就要膏哈薛作亚兰王.

19:16 and Jehu son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel. You shall also anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-Meholah as prophet in your place.
又要膏宁示的孙子耶户作以色列王, 还要膏亚伯．米何拉人沙法的儿子以利沙接续你作先知.

19:17 It shall be that the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.
将来逃得过哈薛的刀的, 必被耶户杀死; 逃得过耶户的刀的, 必被以利沙杀死.

19:18 I will leave in Israel seven thousand, all of the knees that have not bowed down to Baal and all of the mouths that have not kissed him.”
但我在以色列人中留下七千人, 他们全是未曾向巴力屈过膝的, 也未曾与巴力亲过嘴的. ”

19:19 So he went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him. When he and the twelve passed Elijah, he threw his cloak on him.
于是以利亚离开那里去了. 他遇见沙法的儿子以利沙正在耕田. 在他面前有十二对牛, 他自己正在赶着第十二对牛. 以利亚走过他那里去, 把自己的外衣披在以利沙身上.

19:20 Then he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will go after you.” Then he said, “Go, return, for what I have done to you?”
以利沙就撇下那些牛, 跑在以利亚的后面, 说: “请你允许我与父母亲吻别, 然后我就跟随你. ”以利亚对他说: “你回去吧! 我向你作了什么呢? ”

19:21 So he returned from after him, and he took a pair of oxen and slaughtered them, and with the yoke of the oxen he boiled the flesh and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and served him.
以利沙就离开他回去了. 他牵了一对牛来宰了, 用套牛的器具把牛煮熟, 就分给众人, 他们都吃了. 然后以利沙就起来, 跟随以利亚, 服事他.

I Kings - Chapter 20

20:1 Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathered all of his army, and thirty-two kings were with him, and horses and chariots. He went up and laid siege against Samaria and fought with it.
亚兰王便．哈达聚集他的全军, 有三十二个王与他在一起, 他带着战马和战车, 上去围困撒玛利亚, 攻打那城.

20:2 He sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel.
他派遣一些使者进城去见以色列王亚哈, 对他说: “便．哈达这样说:

20:3 He said to him, “Thus says Ben-Hadad: ‘Your silver and your gold are mine, and your women and your best sons are mine.’ ”
‘你的银子, 你的金子都是我的; 你的妻子和你最健壮的儿女也是我的. ’”

20:4 Then the king of Israel answered and said, “As your word, my master the king; I am yours, and all that is mine is yours.”
以色列王回答说: “我主我王啊, 就照着你所说的, 我和我所有的一切都可以归你. ”

20:5 The messengers returned and said, “Thus says Ben-Hadad, saying, ‘I sent to you saying, “Your silver and gold are mine, and your women and your best sons you must give to me.”
那些使者再来说: “便．哈达这样说: ‘我曾经差派人对你说: 你要把你的银子, 你的金子, 你的妻子和你的儿女都给我.

20:6 So at this time tomorrow, I will send my servants to you that they might search your house and the houses of your servants. All the desire of your eyes they will lay hands on and take it away.’ ”
明天大约这个时间, 我要差派我的臣仆到你那里去; 他们要搜查你的王宫和你臣仆的家; 凡是他们看为宝贵的, 他们都要下手拿走. ’”

20:7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, “Please know and realize that this man is seeking trouble, for he sent to me for my women, my sons, my silver, and my gold, and I did not withhold anything from him.”
以色列王把国中所有的长老都召了来, 对他们说: “请你们想想, 看这人怎样的麻烦, 他曾经差派人来我这里要我的妻子,我的儿女,我的银子和我的金子, 我都没有拒绝他. ”

20:8 All of the elders and all of the people said to him, “Do not listen and do not consent.”
众长老和人民对王说: “不要听从他, 也不要答应他. ”

20:9 So he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Say to my lord the king, ‘All that you demanded from your servant at the first, I will do, but this thing I am not able to do.’ ” Then the messengers went and made a report to him.
于是亚哈对便．哈达的使者说: “请你们告诉我主我王说: ‘王第一次差派人来向你仆人所要的一切, 我都必照办; 可是这次所要的, 我却不能照办. ’”于是使者去了, 把这些话回复便．哈达.

20:10 Then Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, “Thus may the gods do to me and thus may they add if the dust of Samaria is sufficient for the hollow of a hand for all of the people who are at my feet.”
便．哈达又差派人去见亚哈说: “撒玛利亚的尘土若是足够跟从我的人每人捧一捧的话, 愿神明惩罚我, 并且加倍惩罚我. ”

20:11 The king of Israel answered and said, “Tell him, ‘Let not him who girds on his armor boast as one who takes off his armor.’ ”
以色列王回答说: “你们去告诉他, 佩戴武器的人, 不可像解除武器的那样自夸. ”

20:12 It happened at the moment he heard this word, he and the kings were drinking in the tents. He said to his servants, “Get ready to attack.” So they got ready to attack the city.
便．哈达与众王正在帐棚里喝酒, 一听见了这话, 就对他的臣仆说: “你们列队进攻. ”他们就列队进攻那城.

20:13 Suddenly a certain prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Have you seen all this great crowd? Behold, I am giving it into your hand today, that you may know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
这时, 忽然有一个先知前来见以色列王亚哈, 说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你看见这些强大的军兵吗? 看啊, 今天我必把他们交在你手里, 你就知道我是耶和华. ’”

20:14 Ahab said, “By whom?” And he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘By the servants of the commanders of the provinces.’ ” He asked, “Who will begin the battle?” And he said, “You.”
亚哈问: “借着谁呢? ”先知回答: “耶和华这样说: ‘借着跟从各省省长的年轻人. ’”亚哈又问: “谁先开战呢? ”先知说: “是你. ”

20:15 So he mustered the servants of the commanders of the provinces, and there were two hundred and thirty-two. After them he mustered all of the army, all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.
于是亚哈数点了跟从各省省长的年轻人, 共有二百三十二人. 以后, 他又数点所有的人民, 以色列众民共有七千人.

20:16 They went out at noon while Ben-Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the tents, he and the thirty-two kings helping him.
在正午, 便．哈达与帮助他的三十二个王正在帐棚里痛饮的时候, 他们出发了.

20:17 Then the servants of the commanders of the provinces went out first, and Ben-Hadad sent, and they reported to him, saying, “Men have come out from Samaria.”
跟从各省省长的年轻人首先出发. 便．哈达派人去察看, 他们回报他说: “有人从撒玛利亚出来了. ”

20:18 Then he said, “If they have come out for peace, seize them alive; and if they have come out for war, seize them alive.”
便．哈达说: “如果他们是为了求和出来, 你们要活捉他们; 如果他们是为了争战出来, 你们也要活捉他们. ”

20:19 But these had come out from the city, the servants of the commanders of the provinces, and the army that was after them.
从城里出来的这些人, 就是跟从各省省长的年轻人, 军兵跟在他们后面.

20:20 Each man killed his man, and the Arameans fled, so Israel pursued them, but Ben-Hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with cavalry.
他们各人遇见对手就杀. 亚兰人逃跑, 以色列人追赶他们. 亚兰王便．哈达骑着马, 与一些骑兵一起逃走.

20:21 The king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and the chariots and defeated Aram with a great blow.
以色列王出来, 攻打战马和战车, 大大地击败了亚兰人.

20:22 Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and he said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself; consider well what you should do, for the king of Aram is coming against you at the turn of the year.”
那先知前来见以色列王, 对他说: “你要自强, 留意看看你所要预备的, 因为明年春天亚兰王必再上来攻击你. ”

20:23 The servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we. Let us fight with them in the plain; surely we will be stronger than they.
亚兰王的臣仆对亚兰王说: “以色列人的神是山神, 所以他们比我们强; 但我们若是在平原上与他们争战, 我们必比他们强大.

20:24 Do this thing: remove the kings each from his post, and put a governor in their place.
王应该这样作: 把众王各人的职务解除, 另立军官代替他们;

20:25 You must muster an army for yourself as the army you have lost, and horses and chariots as the horses and chariots you lost, then we will fight them in the plain. Surely we will be stronger than they.” So he listened to their voice and did so.
又照着王损失的军兵的数目, 招募一支新的军队, 照数补充战马和战车. 然后我们可以与他们在平原上作战, 我们必定比他们强. ”王听从他们的话, 并且这样行了.

20:26 It happened at the turning of the year that Ben-Hadad mustered Aram and went up to Aphek for the war with Israel.
过了年, 便．哈达数点了亚兰人, 就上到亚弗去, 要与以色列人争战.

20:27 The Israelites had been mustered and provisioned, and they went to engage them. The Israelites encamped opposite them as two flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the land.
以色列人数点人数, 预备了粮食, 就去迎战亚兰人. 以色列人对着他们安营, 好像两小群山羊羔; 亚兰人却满布了那地.

20:28 Then the man of God approached, and he spoke to the king of Israel, and he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Because Aram has said, “Yahweh is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys,” ’ I will give all this great crowd into your hand that you may know that I am Yahweh.”
有一位神人前来对以色列王说: “耶和华这样说: ‘因为亚兰人说耶和华是山神, 不是平原的神, 所以我要把这些强大的军兵交在你手里, 你们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

20:29 These encamped opposite for seven days, and it happened on the seventh day that the battle began, and the Israelites killed the Arameans, one hundred thousand infantry in one day.
以色列人和亚兰人相对安营, 共七天. 到了第七日, 两军终于接战了. 那一天, 以色列人杀了亚兰人步兵十万.

20:30 Then those who remained fled to Aphek, to the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who had remained, so Ben-Hadad fled and went to the innermost rooms of the city.
余下来的都逃入亚弗城里, 城墙倒塌, 压死了余下来的二万七千人. 便．哈达也逃到城里来, 躲进一间密室里.

20:31 Then his servants said to him, “Please now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are kings of mercy. Let us now put sackcloth on around our waists and ropes on our heads. Then let us go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will let you live.”
他的臣仆对他说: “我们听说以色列家的王都是仁慈的王; 我们不如腰束麻布, 头套绳索, 出去投降以色列王, 或许他会使你的性命存活. ”

20:32 So they tied sackcloth around their waists and ropes on their heads. Then they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’ ” And he said, “Is my brother still alive?”
于是他们腰束麻布, 头套绳索, 来见以色列王, 对他说: “你的仆人便．哈达说: ‘求你使我的性命存活! ’”亚哈说: “他还活着吗? 他是我的兄弟! ”

20:33 The men took this as a good omen and they quickly accepted it as true from him, and they said, “Your brother Ben-Hadad lives.” So he said, “Go, get him.” Ben-Hadad came out to him, and Ahab pulled him up on the chariot.
那些人认为这些话是个吉兆, 急忙抓住他的话, 说: “便．哈达是王的兄弟! ”亚哈说: “你们去请他来. ”便．哈达出来见王, 亚哈就去请他上车.

20:34 Ben-Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I shall return. You may set up streets with stalls for yourself in Damascus just as my father set up in Samaria.” Then Ahab said, “On these terms I will let you go,” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
便．哈达对王说: “我父亲从你父亲夺得的众城, 我都必还给你; 你可以为自己在大马士革设立市场, 像我父亲在撒玛利亚设立市场一样. ”亚哈说: “我与你立了这样的约, 就放你去. ”于是他和便．哈达立了约, 就放他走了.

20:35 A certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his fellow countryman, “By the word of Yahweh, please strike me.” But the man refused to strike him.
先知门徒中有一个人奉耶和华的命令对他的一个同伴说: “你打我吧! ”可是, 那人却不肯打他.

20:36 He said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, look, as you now are going from me, a lion will kill you.” When he went from beside him, the lion found him and killed him.
他就对那人说: “因为你不听从耶和华的话, 你一离开我, 就必有狮子咬死你. ”那人一离开他, 果然遇见了狮子, 把他咬死.

20:37 Then he found another man and said, “Strike me, please,” so the man struck him sharply and wounded him.
先知的门徒又遇见另一个人, 对他说: “你打我吧! ”那人就打他, 把他打伤.

20:38 Then the prophet went and waited for the king along the road and disguised himself with a headband over his eyes.
于是那先知去了, 在路旁等候王. 他用头巾蒙住自己的眼睛, 把自己改了装.

20:39 As the king was passing by, he called to the king and said, “Your servant went out in the thick of the battle, and suddenly a man turned and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man. If by any means he should be missed, it will be your life in his place, or you shall pay a talent of silver.’
王从那里经过的时候, 他向王呼叫说: “你仆人出征, 在战阵之中, 忽然有一个人转过来, 带了另一个人来见我, 说: ‘你看守这个人, 他若是走失了, 就要你替他偿命, 否则你要支付三十公斤银子. ’

20:40 It happened that your servant was busy here and there, and he disappeared.” Then the king said to him, “Your own judgment has been determined.”
你仆人正在忙这忙那的时候, 那人就不见了. ”以色列王对他说: “你的判案就是这样, 你已经自己判决了. ”

20:41 He quickly removed the headband from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was from the prophets.
他急忙把蒙在眼上的头巾除下, 以色列王就认出他是一个先知.

20:42 He said to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Because you have let the man I devoted for destruction go from your hand, your life shall be in place of his life and your people in place of his people.’ ”
先知对王说: “耶和华这样说: 因为你把我要灭绝的人从你手中放走, 所以要你替他偿命. 要你的人民抵偿他的人民. ”

20:43 Then the king of Israel went to his house, sullen and angry, and he came to Samaria.
于是以色列王闷闷不乐回到撒玛利亚, 自己的王宫里去了.

I Kings - Chapter 21

21:1 It happened after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
耶斯列人拿伯在耶斯列有一个葡萄园, 靠近撒玛利亚王亚哈的王宫.

21:2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard that it may be mine for a garden of vegetable plants, because it is near, beside my house, and I will give to you a better vineyard in place of it. If it is better in your eyes, I will give you the money of its price.”
亚哈对拿伯说: “把你的葡萄园让给我, 我可以用作菜园, 因为你的葡萄园靠近我的王宫. 我要把一个更好的葡萄园与你交换. 如果你喜欢, 我也可以按市价给你银子. ”

21:3 Naboth said to Ahab, “Far be it from me from Yahweh that I should give the inheritance of my ancestors to you.”
可是拿伯对亚哈说: “耶和华绝对不容许我把祖业给你. ”

21:4 Then Ahab went to his house, sullen and angry because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him when he had said, “I will not give to you the inheritance of my ancestors.” So he lay on his bed, turned away his face, and would not eat any food.
亚哈因为耶斯列人拿伯对他说: “我不能把祖业给你”, 就闷闷不乐回到宫里. 他躺在床上, 脸朝向内, 也不吃饭.

21:5 Then Jezebel his wife came to him, and she said to him, “What is this, that your spirit is sullen and you are not eating food?”
他的妻子耶洗别进来见他, 问他说: “你为什么心里这么烦闷, 连饭也不吃呢? ”

21:6 Then he said to her, “When I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and asked him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money, or it you prefer, I will give you a vineyard in place of it,’ he said, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’ ”
亚哈回答她说: “因为我对耶斯列人拿伯说: ‘把你的葡萄园让给我, 我付你银子; 或者你喜欢的话, 我可以用另一个葡萄园与你交换’; 可是他说: ‘我不能把我的葡萄园让给你. ’”

21:7 Jezebel his wife said to him, “Now, you rule over Israel. Get up, eat food, and let your heart be cheerful. I myself will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
他的妻子耶洗别对他说: “你现在不是统治以色列的王吗? 只管起来吃饭, 心神畅快, 我必能把耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园给你. ”

21:8 So she wrote letters in the name of Ahab and sealed them with his seal. She sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were dwelling with Naboth in his city.
于是耶洗别以亚哈的名义写了一些信, 然后把这些信送给那些住在拿伯城里的长老和贵胄.

21:9 She had written in the letters, saying, “Call a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people.
她在信上写着说: “你们要宣告禁食, 使拿伯坐在民间的首位上.

21:10 Seat two men, scoundrels, opposite him. Let them witness against him saying, ‘You cursed God and the king.’ Then you shall bring him out and stone him so that he dies.”
又叫两个匪徒坐在拿伯的对面, 作见证控告他说: ‘你曾经咒诅神和君王’; 然后把他拉出去, 用石头把他打死. ”

21:11 The men of his city and the elders and nobles who were living in his city did according to what Jezebel had sent to them, as was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
于是拿伯城里的人, 就是那些与拿伯同住一城的长老和贵胄, 都照着耶洗别送给他们的信上所写的去行.

21:12 They called a fast, and they seated Naboth at the head of the people.
他们宣告禁食, 使拿伯坐在民间的首席上.

21:13 Then the two men, scoundrels, came, sat opposite him, and the scoundrels witnessed against Naboth before the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king,” so they brought him outside of the city and stoned him with stones, and he died.
然后两个匪徒来坐在拿伯的对面. 这两个流氓当众作见证控告拿伯, 说: “拿伯曾经咒诅神和君王. ”众人就把拿伯拉出城外, 用石头打他, 把他打死了.

21:14 They sent to Jezebel saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he is dead.”
于是他们派人去见耶洗别, 说: “拿伯已经被人用石头打死了. ”

21:15 It happened at the moment Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and died, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Get up, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite which he had refused to give to you for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
耶洗别听见拿伯已经被人用石头打死了, 就对亚哈说: “你起来, 去占有那耶斯列人拿伯从前不肯给你的葡萄园, 因为拿伯现在没有命了, 他已经死了. ”

21:16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
亚哈听见拿伯已经死了, 就起来, 下到耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园那里去, 要占有那园.

21:17 The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
那时, 耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说:

21:18 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab the king of Israel who is in Samaria. Look in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession of it.
“你起来, 下去迎见住在撒玛利亚的以色列王亚哈, 他现在正在耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园里. 他下到那里去, 是要占有那个园.

21:19 You shall say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Have you committed murder and also taken possession?” ’ You shall also say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs will also lick your blood.” ’ ”
你要对他说: ‘耶和华这样说: 你杀了人, 又占有他的产业吗? ’你又要对他说: ‘耶和华这样说: 狗在什么地方舔拿伯的血, 也必在什么地方舔你的血. ’”

21:20 Then Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He said, “I have found you because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
亚哈对以利亚说: “我的仇人哪, 你找到了我吗? ”以利亚说: “我找到你了, 因为你出卖了你自己, 去行耶和华看为恶的事.

21:21 ‘Look, I am bringing disaster on you, and I will sweep away after you. I will cut off for Ahab every male in Israel, bond or free.
耶和华说: ‘看哪, 我必使灾祸临到你, 除灭你的后代, 在以色列中属亚哈的男丁, 无论是自由的, 或是不自由的, 我都要除灭.

21:22 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because you made me angry and have caused Israel to sin.’
我要使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家, 又像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家, 因为你惹我发怒, 又因为你使以色列人陷在罪中. ’

21:23 Moreover, concerning Jezebel, Yahweh has said, ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel in the outer rampart of Jezreel.’
至于耶洗别, 耶和华也说: ‘狗必在耶斯列的地方吃耶洗别的肉.

21:24 The one who dies for Ahab in the city, the dogs will eat; the one who dies in the open country, the birds of heaven will eat.”
属亚哈的人, 死在城里的, 必被野狗吃掉; 死在田野的, 必被空中的飞鸟吃掉. ’”

21:25 Truly, there was no one like Ahab who had sold himself by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh, whose wife Jezebel urged him on.
只是从来没有人像亚哈的; 他受了他妻子耶洗别的引诱, 出卖了他自己, 行耶和华看为恶的事.

21:26 Also, he acted very abominably by going after idols like all the Amorites had done whom Yahweh had driven out from before the Israelites.”
他按照耶和华在以色列人面前赶走的亚摩利人所行的一切, 跟从偶像. 行了非常可憎的事.

21:27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth over his flesh, fasted, lay in the sackcloth, and went about dejectedly.
亚哈听见这些话, 就撕裂自己的衣服, 披上麻布, 禁食, 睡在麻布上, 并且神色颓丧地行走.

21:28 Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说:

21:29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring disaster in his days. I will bring the disaster on his house in the days of his son.”
“你看见了亚哈在我面前怎样谦卑自己, 因为他在我面前谦卑自己, 所以他还在世的日子, 我必不降这灾祸; 到他儿子的日子, 我必降这灾祸与他的家. ”

I Kings - Chapter 22

22:1 They lived three years, and there was no war between Aram and Israel.
亚兰人和以色列人之间, 连续三年没有战争.

22:2 It happened in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to the king of Israel,
到了第三年, 犹大王约沙法下去见以色列王.

22:3 and the king of Israel said to his servants, “Do you know Ramoth-Gilead belongs to us, and we are doing nothing about taking it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
以色列王对他的臣仆说: “你们知道吗? 基列的拉末原属于我们, 我们怎可静坐不动, 不把它从亚兰王的手中夺回来呢? ”

22:4 Then he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to the battle for Ramoth-Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am like you; my people are like your people; my horses are like your horses.”
亚哈问约沙法: “你肯与我一起到基列的拉末去作战吗? ”约沙法回答以色列王: “你我不分彼此, 我的人民就像是你的人民, 我的战马就像是你的战马. ”

22:5 Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire for the word of Yahweh today.”
约沙法又对以色列王说: “现在请你先求问耶和华. ”

22:6 Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead for the battle, or should I refrain?” Then they said, “Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
于是以色列王把众先知聚集了来, 约有四百人, 问他们: “我可以去攻打基列的拉末吗? 或是应当忍耐不去呢? ”他们说: “你可以上去, 主必把那城交在王的手里. ”

22:7 So Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here that we might still inquire from him?”
约沙法说: “这里不是还有耶和华的先知, 我们可以求问他吗? ”

22:8 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man to inquire from Yahweh, but I despise him, for he never prophesies anything good concerning me, but only bad: Micaiah the son of Imlah.” Then Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say so.”
以色列王对约沙法说: “还有一个人, 我们可以托他求问耶和华. 不过我憎恨他, 因为他对我说的预言, 都是凶话, 不是吉话. 这人就是音拉的儿子米该雅. ”但约沙法说: “请王不要这么说. ”

22:9 The king of Israel summoned a certain court official, and he said, “Quickly fetch Micaiah son of Imlah.”
于是王召了一位太监来, 说: “快去把音拉的儿子米该雅召来! ”

22:10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
以色列王和犹大王约沙法穿着朝服, 在撒玛利亚城门口的广场上, 各人坐在自己的王位上; 所有的先知都在他们面前说预言.

22:11 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until finishing them.’ ”
基拿拿的儿子西底家做了些铁角, 说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你要用这些铁角抵触亚兰人, 直到把他们完全消灭. ’”

22:12 All of the prophets were likewise prophesying, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and triumph, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
所有的先知也都这样预言说: “你可以上基列的拉末去, 必得胜利! 因为耶和华必把那城交在王的手里. ”

22:13 Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Please now, the words of the prophet are unanimously favorable to the king. Please let your words be as one word with them, and speak favorably.”
那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅说: “看哪, 这里的众先知都异口同声地对王说吉话, 请你与他们一样说吉话. ”

22:14 Then Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, surely only as Yahweh speaks to me, that will I speak.”
米该雅说: “我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 耶和华吩咐我什么, 我就说什么. ”

22:15 When he came to the king, the king asked him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to the battle, or shall we refrain?” He said to him, “Go up and triumph, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
米该雅来到王那里的时候, 王就问他: “米该雅啊, 我们可以到基列的拉末去作战吗? 或是要忍耐不去呢? ”米该雅回答亚哈: “你可以上去, 必得胜利, 因为耶和华必把那城交在王的手里! ”

22:16 Then the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear that you shall not tell me anything but truth in the name of Yahweh?”
王对他说: “我要嘱咐你多少次, 你才奉耶和华的名对我只说真话呢? ”

22:17 So he said, “I saw all of Israel scattering to the mountains, like the sheep without a shepherd. Yahweh also said, ‘There are no masters for these, let them return in peace, each to his house.’ ”
米该雅说: “我看见以色列人四散在山上, 好像没有牧人的羊群一样; 耶和华说: ‘这些人没有主人, 使他们平平安安各自回家吧! ’”

22:18 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but disaster?”
以色列王对约沙法说: “我不是告诉过你, 这人对我说的预言, 总不说吉话, 只说凶话吗? ”

22:19 And he said, “Therefore, hear the word of Yahweh. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne with all the hosts of heaven standing beside him from his right hand and from his left hand.
米该雅说: “因此, 你要听耶和华的话; 我看见耶和华坐在他的宝座上, 天上的万军都侍立在他的左右.

22:20 And Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab so that he will go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?’ Then this one was saying one thing and the other one was saying another.
耶和华说: ‘谁去引诱亚哈, 使他上基列的拉末阵亡呢? ’有说这样的, 有说那样的.

22:21 Then a spirit came out and stood before Yahweh and said, ‘I will entice him,’ and Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
后来有一个灵出来, 站在耶和华面前, 说: ‘我去引诱他. ’耶和华问他: ‘你用什么方法呢? ’

22:22 He said, ‘I will go out and I will be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You shall entice and succeed, go out and do so.’
他回答: ‘我要出去, 在亚哈所有先知的口中, 作说谎的灵. ’耶和华说: ‘你可以去引诱他, 你也必能成功, 你去这样行吧! ’

22:23 So then, see that Yahweh has placed a false spirit in the mouth of all of these your prophets, and Yahweh has spoken disaster concerning you.”
现在, 耶和华已经把说谎的灵放在你这些先知的口中, 耶和华已经命定灾祸临到你. ”

22:24 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah came near and slapped Micaiah on the cheek and said, “When did the Spirit of Yahweh pass from me to speak with you?”
基拿拿的儿子西底家近前来, 打米该雅的脸颊说: “耶和华的灵怎样离开了我, 去与你说话呢? ”

22:25 Then Micaiah said, “Behold, you are about to see on that day when you go from room to room to hide.”
米该雅说: “你进密室躲藏的那一天, 就必看见了. ”

22:26 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the commander of the city and to Jehoash the son of the king;
以色列王说: “把米该雅带回去, 交给市长亚们和王的儿子约阿施,

22:27 and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this fellow in the house of imprisonment and feed him reduced rations of food and water until I come in peace.” ’ ”
说: ‘王这样吩咐: 把这人囚在监里, 少给他食物和水, 直到我平平安安回来. ’”

22:28 Then Micaiah said, “If you indeed return in peace, then Yahweh has not spoken with me.” Then he said, “Let all the peoples hear!”
米该雅说: “如果你真的可以平平安安回来, 那么耶和华就没有借着我说话了. ”他又说: “众民啊, 你们都要听. ”

22:29 Then the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
于是, 以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了.

22:30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you wear your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and he went into the battle.
以色列王对约沙法说: “我要改装上战场去了; 你可以仍穿自己的朝服. ”于是以色列王改装到战场去了.

22:31 The king of Aram commanded his thirty-two chariot commanders, saying, “You shall not fight with small or great, but only against the king of Israel, him alone!”
亚兰王曾经嘱咐他的三十二个战车长说: “无论大小将兵, 你们都不要与他们争战, 只要与以色列王争战. ”

22:32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely he is the king of Israel,” and they turned to fight against him, so Jehoshaphat called out.
战车长们看见约沙法的时候, 就说: “这人必是以色列王. ”他们就转过去与他争战, 约沙法便喊叫起来.

22:33 When the chariot commanders saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned away from him.
战车长们一见他不是以色列王, 就转回来, 不追赶他了.

22:34 But another man drew his bow fully and struck the king of Israel between the armor scales and the breastplate; so he said to his chariot driver, “Turn the chariot and bring me out from the camp, for I am wounded.”
有一个人随便射了一箭, 竟射中了以色列王铁甲与护胸甲之间的地方. 王对驾车的说: “你把车转过来, 载我离开战场吧! 我受了重伤. ”

22:35 The battle intensified on that day, and the king was being propped up in the chariot opposite Aram, but he died in the evening, and the blood of the wound ran out to the floor of the chariot.
那一天战争不断升级, 有人扶着王站在车上抵挡亚兰人. 到了黄昏, 王就死了; 血从伤口流到战车的底下去.

22:36 Then the shout passed through the camp about sunset, saying, “Each man to his city and each to his land!”
约在日落的时候, 有命令传遍军中说: “各归各城, 各归各地吧. ”

22:37 So the king died, and they brought him to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.
王死了以后, 人们把他送回撒玛利亚, 埋葬在那里.

22:38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked his blood (now, the prostitutes washed themselves there) according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
他们在撒玛利亚的池旁, 妓女洗澡的地方清洗战车, 有狗来舔亚哈的血, 正如耶和华说过的话一样.

22:39 The remainder of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory palace and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
亚哈其余的事迹, 他所作的一切, 他建造的象牙宫和他重建的一切城镇, 不是都记在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

22:40 So Ahab slept with his ancestors, and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
亚哈与他的列祖同睡, 他的儿子亚哈谢接续他作王.

22:41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
以色列王亚哈第四年, 亚撒的儿子约沙法登基作犹大王.

22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
约沙法登基的时候是三十五岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王二十五年. 他母亲名叫阿苏巴, 是示利希的女儿.

22:43 He walked in all of the way of Asa his father, and he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the eyes of Yahweh. Only he did not remove the high places; the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
约沙法遵行他父亲亚撒所行的一切, 总不偏离, 行耶和华看为正的事. 只是邱坛还没有废去, 人民仍在邱坛上献祭烧香(“只是邱坛......献祭烧香. ”《马索拉抄本》为 22:44).

22:44 But, Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
约沙法王与以色列王和平相处.

22:45 The remainder of the acts of Jehoshaphat, his powerful deeds he did, and how he fought, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约沙法其余的事迹, 他作过的英勇的事和他怎样争战的事, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

22:46 The remainder of the male shrine prostitutes who were left over in the days of Asa his father he exterminated from the land.
约沙法把父亲亚撒在世时遗留下来的庙妓都从国中除灭.

22:47 There was not a king in Edom; a governor served as king.
那时, 以东没有王, 由总督统治.

22:48 Jehoshaphat built ships of the Tarshish type to go to Ophir for the gold; but he did not go because the ships were destroyed at Ezion-Geber.
约沙法建造了他施船只, 要到俄斐去运金子, 可是不能开船, 因为船只在以旬．迦别坏了.

22:49 Then Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships,” but Jehoshaphat was not willing.
那时亚哈的儿子亚哈谢对约沙法说: “让我的仆人与你的仆人一同坐船去吧! ”但是约沙法不肯.

22:50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David his ancestor, and Joram his son became king in his place.
约沙法与他的列祖同睡, 与他的列祖一同埋葬在他先祖大卫的城里; 他的儿子约兰接续他作王.

22:51 Ahaziah son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
犹大王约沙法第十七年, 亚哈的儿子亚哈谢在撒玛利亚登基作以色列王. 他作以色列王两年.

22:52 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and he went in the way of his father and his mother and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 行他父亲的道和他母亲的道, 又行尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪中的道.

他事奉巴力, 敬拜巴力, 照着他父亲所行的一切惹耶和华以色列的神发怒.

II Kings (列王记下)

II Kings - Chapter 1

1:1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
亚哈死后, 摩押背叛以色列.

1:2 Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice in his upper room, which was in Samaria, and he was injured. So he sent messengers, and he said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, if I will survive this injury.”
有一天, 亚哈谢在撒玛利亚, 从楼上的窗户掉下来, 他就病了; 于是他差派使者, 对他们说: “你们去求问以革伦的神巴力．西卜, 我这个病到底能否复原? ”

1:3 Then the angel of Yahweh spoke to Elijah the Tishbite, “Get up, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and speak to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’
但耶和华的使者对提斯比人以利亚说: “你动身上去迎着撒玛利亚王的使者, 对他们说: ‘你们去求问以革伦的神巴力．西卜, 是因为以色列中没有神吗?

1:4 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, ‘The bed upon which you have gone, you will not come down from it, but you shall surely die.’ ” So Elijah went.
因此, 耶和华这样说: 你必不能从你躺上去的那张床上下来, 因为你必定死. ’”于是以利亚去了.

1:5 When the messengers returned to him, he asked them, “Why have you returned?”
众使者回到亚哈谢那里; 他对他们说: “你们为什么回来呢? ”

1:6 Then they said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and he said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you and speak to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron? Therefore the bed upon which you have gone, you will not come down from it, for you will surely die.’ ” ’ ”
他们对王说: “有一个人上来迎着我们, 又对我们说: ‘去吧, 回到那差派你们的王那里, 对他说: 耶和华这样说: 你派人去求问以革伦的神巴力．西卜, 是因为以色列中没有神吗? 因此, 你必不能从你躺上去的那张床上下来, 因为你必定死. ’”

1:7 Then he spoke to them, “What was the manner of the man who came up to meet you and spoke to you all these things?”
王对他们说: “那上来迎着你们, 又对你们说这番话的是个怎样的人? ”

1:8 They answered him, “A hairy man with a leather belt girded around his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”
他们对王说: “那人穿着毛皮衣, 腰间束上皮带. ”王说: “这人必是提斯比人以利亚. ”

1:9 So Ahaziah sent to him the commander of fifty with his fifty men, and he went up to him while he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “O man of God, the king says, ‘Come down.’ ”
于是王差派一个五十夫长和他的五十名手下到以利亚那里; 那位五十夫长就上到以利亚那里去. 他看见以利亚正坐在山顶上, 就对以利亚说: “神人哪! 王吩咐你下来. ”

1:10 Then Elijah answered and said to the commander of the fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
以利亚回答五十夫长说: “如果我是神人, 愿火从天降下, 把你和你的五十名手下吞灭. ”于是有火从天降下, 吞灭了五十夫长和他的五十名手下.

1:11 So he again sent another commander of fifty and his fifty men. He answered and said to him, “O man of God, thus says the king, ‘Come down quickly!’ ”
王再次派一个五十夫长和他的五十名手下到以利亚那里去. 那五十夫长对以利亚说: “神人哪! 王这样吩咐: ‘你赶快下来. ’”

1:12 Then Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty!” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
以利亚回答他们说: “如果我是神人, 愿火从天降下, 把你和你的五十名手下吞灭. ”于是神的火从天降下, 吞灭了五十夫长和他的五十名手下.

1:13 So he again sent a third time a commander of fifty and his fifty, and the commander of the third fifty went up and came and knelt down on his knees before Elijah and entreated him. He said to him, “O man of God, please let my life and the lives of your servants, these fifty, be precious in your eyes.
王又派出第三名五十夫长和他的五十名手下; 那五十夫长来到, 就双膝跪在以利亚面前, 恳求他, 对他说: “神人哪! 愿我的性命和这五十个仆人的性命在你眼中看为宝贵.

1:14 Behold, fire from heaven came down and consumed the first two commanders of fifty and their fifties, so then let my life be precious in your eyes.”
看哪! 曾经有火从天降下, 吞灭了先前两个五十夫长和他们各五十名手下; 现在, 愿我的性命在你眼中看为宝贵. ”

1:15 Then the angel of Yahweh spoke to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid because of him.” So he got up and went down with him to the king,
耶和华的使者对以利亚说: “你和他下去吧, 不要怕他. ”于是以利亚起来, 和他下山到王那里去了.

1:16 and he said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel from whom to inquire his word?—therefore the bed upon which you went, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.’ ”
以利亚对亚哈谢说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你差派使者去求问以革伦的神巴力．西卜, 是因为以色列中没有神可以求问吗? 因此, 你必不能从你躺上去的那张床上下来, 因为你必定死. ’”

1:17 So he died, according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken, and Joram became king in his place in the second year of Joram the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, because he had no son.
亚哈谢果然死了, 正如耶和华借以利亚所宣告的话. 因为他没有儿子, 他的弟弟约兰就接续他作王, 那时是犹大王约沙法的儿子约兰第二年.

1:18 The remainder of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
亚哈谢其余所行的事迹, 不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

II Kings - Chapter 2

2:1 When Yahweh was about to take Elijah up in the storm to heaven, Elijah and Elisha went from Gilgal.
耶和华将要用旋风接以利亚往天上去的时候, 以利亚和以利沙一起离开吉甲.

2:2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for Yahweh has sent me up to Bethel.” Elisha said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will certainly not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel.
以利亚对以利沙说: “你留在这里吧, 因为耶和华差派我到伯特利去. ”以利沙说: “我指着永活的耶和华和你的性命起誓: 我必不离开你. ”于是他们下到伯特利去.

2:3 Then the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master from you today?” He said, “I also know; be quiet!”
在伯特利的先知门徒出来见以利沙, 对他说: “你知道今天耶和华要接你的老师离开你吗? ”他说: “我已经知道了, 你们别再多说. ”

2:4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here because Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will certainly not leave you!” So they came to Jericho.
以利亚对以利沙说: “你留在这里吧, 因为耶和华差派我往耶利哥. ”他说: “我指着永活的耶和华和你的性命起誓: 我必不离开你. ”于是他们来到耶利哥.

在耶利哥的先知门徒前来见以利沙, 对他说: “你知道今天耶和华要接你的老师离开你吗? ”他说: “我已经知道了, 你们别再多说. ”

以利亚对他说: “你留在这里吧, 因为耶和华差派我往约旦河去. ”以利沙说: “我指着永活的耶和华和你的性命起誓: 我必不离开你. ”于是他们二人继续前行.

2:7 Then fifty men from the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
先知门徒中有五十人跟着他们, 远远地站在他们对面; 他们二人在约旦河河边站着.

2:8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water. It divided in two, and the two of them crossed over on dry land.
以利亚拿着自己的外衣, 把它卷起, 击打河水, 河水就左右分开, 他们二人就在干地上走过去了.

2:9 After they crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I may do for you before I am taken away from you.” Then Elisha said, “Please let there come to me a double portion of your spirit.”
他们过去之后, 以利亚对以利沙说: “在我没有被接离开你以先, 我可以为你作些什么, 你尽管求吧! ”以利沙说: “求你使你的灵双倍地临到我. ”

2:10 He said, “What you ask is difficult. If you see me being taken from you, it will be so for you, but if not, it will not happen.”
以利亚说: “你所求的是一件难事, 不过我被接离开你的时候, 如果你看见我, 就必得着, 否则就得不着了. ”

2:11 Then they were walking, talking as they went. Suddenly a fiery chariot with horses of fire appeared and separated between the two of them. Elijah went up in the storm to the heavens
他们边走边谈的时候, 忽然, 有火车火马把他们二人分开, 以利亚就在旋风中被接往天上去了.

2:12 while Elisha was watching and crying out, “My father, my father; the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” But he could not see him any longer, and he grasped his clothes and tore them in two pieces.
以利沙看见, 就喊叫: “我父! 我父! 以色列的战车马兵啊! ”跟着就不再看见他了. 以利沙抓住自己的衣服, 把它撕成两片.

2:13 Then he picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen off of him, and he returned and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
他拾起以利亚身上掉下来的外衣, 就回去, 站在约旦河河边.

2:14 He took Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from upon him and struck the water. Then he said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” So he also struck the water, and it divided in two, and Elisha crossed over.
他拿着从以利亚身上掉下来的外衣, 击打河水, 说: “耶和华以利亚的神在哪里呢? ”他一击打河水, 河水就左右分开, 以利沙就走过去了.

2:15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho saw him from the other side, they declared, “The spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha,” and they came to meet him and bowed down to him to the ground.
那些耶利哥的先知门徒在远处看见, 就说: “以利亚的灵在以利沙身上了. ”他们就来迎接他, 俯伏在地拜他.

2:16 Then they said to him, “Look, there are with your servants fifty able men. Please let them go and look for your master, lest the Spirit of Yahweh has lifted him up and thrown him on one of the mountains or into one of the valleys,” but he said, “You must not send them.”
他们对他说: “请看, 你的仆人这里有五十个壮士; 请让他们去寻找你的老师, 或者耶和华的灵把他提去, 丢在某一座山上, 或某一处山谷里. ”以利沙说: “你们不必派人去了. ”

2:17 But they urged him until embarrassing him, so he said, “Send them.” So they sent fifty men, and they looked for three days, but they could not find him.
他们恳求他, 使他不好意思推辞, 于是他说: “你们派人去吧. ”他们就派出五十个人, 寻觅了三天, 仍然找不着.

2:18 Then they returned to him while he was staying in Jericho. He said to them, “Did I not tell you not to go?”
于是他们回到以利沙那里; 那时, 他还停留在耶利哥, 他对他们说: “我不是告诉了你们不必去的吗? ”

2:19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “Please now, the location of the city is good, as my master can see, but the water is bad and the land unproductive.”
那城的人对以利沙说: “请看这城的地势很好, 老师你也看见, 可惜水恶劣, 以致此地没有出产. ”

2:20 So he said, “Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.
以利沙说: “给我拿一个新碗来, 里面要盛点盐. ”他们就把碗拿给他.

2:21 Then he went out to the spring of waters and threw the salt into it there and said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘I hereby purify these waters; let there be no longer any death or unproductiveness from it.’ ”
他就出去到水源那里, 把盐倒在那里, 然后说: “耶和华这样说: ‘我已经医好了这水, 从此不再有人死亡, 地也不再没有出产了. ’”

2:22 Then the waters were purified until this very day according to the word of Elisha that he spoke.
那水果然治好了, 直到今日, 正如以利沙所说的话.

2:23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; as he was going up along the way, young boys came out from the city and mocked at him and said to him, “Go up, baldhead; go up, baldhead!”
以利沙从那里上伯特利去, 正沿路上去的时候, 从城里有一班年轻人走出来, 讥笑他, 说: “秃头的上去吧! 秃头的上去吧! ”

2:24 When he turned around and saw them, he cursed them in the name of Yahweh. Then two bears came out of the forest and mauled forty-two boys among them.
以利沙回头看着他们, 奉耶和华的名咒诅他们. 于是有两只母熊从树林里走出来, 撕裂了他们中间四十二个年轻人.

2:25 Then he went from there to Mount Carmel and from there he returned to Samaria.
以利沙从那里上迦密山, 又从迦密山回到撒玛利亚.

II Kings - Chapter 3

3:1 Now Joram the son of Ahab had become king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. He reigned twelve years
犹大王约沙法第十八年, 亚哈的儿子约兰在撒玛利亚作王, 统治以色列; 他作王共有十二年.

3:2 and did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not as his father or his mother, as he removed the stone pillars of Baal that his father had made.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 只是还不至于像他的父亲和母亲一样, 因为他除去了他父亲所做的巴力神柱.

3:3 But he did cling to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin, and he did not depart from it.
只是尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪中的那些罪, 他却坚持不舍, 不肯脱离.

3:4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he used to deliver to the king of Israel a hundred thousand male lambs and a hundred thousand wool rams.
摩押王米沙是个以畜牧为生的人. 他每年进贡十万头绵羊羔和十万头公羊羔给以色列王.

3:5 It happened that when Ahab died, Mesha king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
亚哈死后, 摩押王背叛以色列王.

3:6 So King Joram went out on that day from Samaria, and he mustered all of Israel.
那时约兰王从撒玛利亚出来点阅以色列众人.

3:7 He went and sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab for the battle?” And he said, “I will go up. I am like you; my people are like your people; my horses are like your horses.”
他一面起行, 一面派人到犹大王约沙法那里, 说: “摩押王背叛了我, 你肯不肯和我同去攻打摩押呢? ”约沙法说: “我愿意去; 我和你不分彼此, 我的人民就像是你的人民, 我的马就像是你的马. ”

3:8 Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” And he answered, “By way of the wilderness of Edom.”
约沙法问: “我们从哪条路上去呢? ”约兰回答: “从以东旷野的路上去. ”

3:9 So the king of Israel and the king of Judah and the king of Edom went around, a way of seven days, but there was no water for the army or for the animals which were with them.
于是以色列王,犹大王和以东王, 绕道行了七日的路程. 军队和随行的牲畜都没有水喝.

3:10 Then the king of Israel said, “Aha, Yahweh has called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.”
以色列王说: “哎哟, 耶和华招聚这三位君王, 是要把他们交在摩押人的手中. ”

3:11 Then Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here that we might inquire guidance from Yahweh?” One of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, “Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
约沙法说: “这里不是有一位耶和华的先知吗? 我们可以托他求问耶和华. ”以色列王的一位臣仆说: “这里有沙法的儿子以利沙, 他从前是服事以利亚的(“他从前是服事以利亚的”原文作“他从前倒水在以利亚手上”). ”

3:12 Jehoshaphat said, “The word of Yahweh is with him.” So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went down to him.
约沙法说: “他必有耶和华的话. ”于是以色列王,约沙法和以东王都下到他那里.

3:13 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What do we have in common? Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother.” Then the king of Israel said to him, “No, for Yahweh has called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.”
以利沙对以色列王说: “我和你有什么关系呢? 去问你父亲和你母亲的先知吧! ”以色列王对他说: “不要这样说, 耶和华招聚这三位君王, 是要把他们交在摩押人手中. ”

3:14 Then Elisha said, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely if I was not regarding the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would have not looked at you nor even glanced at you.
以利沙说: “我指着我所事奉永活的万军耶和华起誓, 若不是看犹大王约沙法的情面, 我根本不会理你, 看也不看你.

3:15 But now, bring me a musician.” It happened that at the moment the musician played, the hand of Yahweh came upon him.
现在, 给我找一个琴师来. ”当琴师弹琴的时候, 耶和华的能力就临到他身上.

3:16 He said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Make this wadi full of cisterns,’
以利沙说: “耶和华这样说: ‘要在这山谷到处挖濠沟. ’

3:17 for thus says Yahweh, ‘You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this wadi will be full of water; and you and all of your livestock and your animals shall drink.’
因为耶和华这样说: ‘你们虽然没有看见风, 也没有看见雨, 但这山谷必充满了水, 你们和你们的牲畜都可以有水喝.

3:18 And since this is too trivial in the eyes of Yahweh, he will also give Moab into your hand,
这事在耶和华眼中算是小事, 他还要把摩押交在你们手中.

3:19 and you shall defeat every fortified city, every choice city, and you shall fell every good tree. All of the springs of water you shall stop up, and every tract of good land you shall ruin with the stones.”
你们要攻破所有坚固的城和一切繁华的都市; 砍下各种佳美的树木, 堵塞所有水泉, 用石头堆满一切肥沃的田地. ’”

3:20 It happened in the morning about the time of the morning offering, that water was suddenly coming from the direction of Edom and the land was filled with water.
到了早上, 约在献祭的时候, 忽然有水从以东来, 遍地就满了水.

3:21 Now all of Moab had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, and all who were fighting age and up were called up, and they stood at the border.
摩押全国听见这几位君王上来要攻打他们, 就召集所有能够穿上武装的, 不论老幼, 到边界上防守.

3:22 When they arose early in the morning, the sun shone on the waters, and Moab saw the waters from the opposite side as red as blood.
第二天早上, 他们起来的时候, 太阳照在水上, 摩押人从那边看见水红得像血一样.

3:23 Then they said, “This is blood! Certainly the kings have fought one another, and each has killed his neighbor. Now, to the war booty, O Moab!”
他们说: “这是血啊! 一定是那些王互相攻击, 自相残杀; 现在, 摩押人哪, 去抢掠吧! ”

3:24 But when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel stood up and killed Moab, so that they fled from before them. They came at her and defeated Moab.
他们来到以色列营, 以色列人起来, 击杀摩押人, 摩押人就在以色列人面前逃跑; 以色列人就攻进摩押, 击杀他们.

3:25 The cities they tore down, on every good tract of land they threw stones until it was filled up, every spring of water they stopped up, and every good tree they felled. They let the stone walls at Kir Hareseth remain, but the slingers surrounded and attacked it.
他们毁坏城市, 各人向一切肥沃的田地拋掷石头, 把田地填满了, 又堵塞一切水泉, 砍下各种佳美的树木, 直到吉珥．哈列设只剩下石头, 甩石的兵把它包围, 攻击它.

3:26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too heavy for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew the sword to break through to the king of Edom, but they were not able.
摩押王见战事激烈, 无法抵抗, 于是带领七百持刀的兵, 想要突围到以东王那里, 可是不成功,

3:27 He took his firstborn son who was to become king in his place and offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. Great wrath came upon Israel, and they withdrew from him and returned to the land.
于是他把那要接续他作王的长子, 在城墙上献为燔祭. 以色列人就遭遇极大的忿怒, 于是离开他, 回到自己的地方去了.

II Kings - Chapter 4

4:1 A certain woman from the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. Now you know that your servant was a fearer of Yahweh, but the creditor came to take two of my children for himself as slaves.
一位先知门徒的妻子哀求以利沙说: “你仆人我的丈夫死了, 你知道你的仆人是敬畏耶和华的. 现在债主来要抓我的两个孩子作他的奴仆. ”

4:2 Elisha asked her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” Then she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of olive oil.”
以利沙对他说: “我可以为你作什么呢? 告诉我, 你家里有什么呢? ”她说: “婢女家中除了一瓶油以外, 什么也没有. ”

4:3 Then he said to her, “Go, ask for yourself some containers from the streets, from all your neighbors. You must collect as many empty containers as you can!
以利沙说: “你到外面去向你所有的邻居借空器皿, 要尽量多借.

4:4 You must also go and shut the door behind you and your children, and you must pour out oil into all of these containers and set the filled ones aside.”
然后回去, 把你和你儿子关在家里, 你要把油倒在所有器皿里面, 装满了的就放在一边. ”

4:5 So she went from him, and she shut the door behind her and her children. They were bringing containers to her, and she kept pouring.
于是妇人离开了他, 把自己和儿子关在门内; 她的儿子不住地把器皿拿到她面前, 她就把油倒进去.

4:6 It happened that when the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring near me another container,” but he said to her, “There is not another container.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
器皿都倒满了的时候, 她对儿子说: “再拿一个器皿给我. ”他对她说: “再没有器皿了. ”油就止住了.

4:7 So she came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the olive oil and repay your debt. You and your sons can live on what is left over.”
她去告诉神人, 神人说: “你去把油卖掉, 还清你的债务, 你和你的儿子可以靠着剩下的过活. ”

4:8 It happened one day that Elisha passed through to Shunem where there was a wealthy woman, and she urged him to eat bread; so it happened each time he passed through, he would stop there to eat.
有一天, 以利沙经过书念的时候, 那里有一位贵妇坚持留他吃饭; 于是以后每逢他从那里经过, 他总进去吃饭.

4:9 She said to her husband, “Please now, I know that he is a holy man of God who is passing our way regularly;
那妇人对她的丈夫说: “你看, 我知道那常从我们这里经过的, 是个圣洁的神人.

4:10 let us make a small enclosed room upstairs and put a bed, table, chair, and lampstand there for him, so that when he comes to us, he can turn and stay there.
让我们盖一间有墙的小阁, 为他在里面摆设睡床,桌子,椅子和灯盏; 他到我们这里来的时候, 就可以到那里休息. ”

4:11 One day it happened that he came there and went to the upper room and lay down there.
有一天, 以利沙来到那里, 就上小阁休息, 在那里躺下.

4:12 He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call to this Shunammite,” so he called to her, and she stood before him.
他对他的仆人基哈西说: “你去叫这书念的妇人来. ”于是他叫了她来, 站在他的面前.

4:13 He said to him, “Please say to her, ‘Look, you took all this trouble, showing care for us; what is there for me to do for you? To speak for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’ ” She said, “I am living among my people.”
他对他的仆人说: “你对她说: ‘看哪! 你为我们费了这么多心思. 我可以为你作些什么呢? 你有事要我替你向王或军长说的吗? ’”她说: “我住在自己的人民中间. ”

4:14 Then he said, “What may be done for her?” Gehazi said, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
于是他说: “我到底可以为她作些什么呢? ”基哈西说: “她没有儿子, 而她的丈夫又老了. ”

4:15 And he said, “Call for her,” so he called for her and she stood in the doorway.
于是以利沙对他说: “再叫她来. ”他就再去叫了她来, 她就站在门口.

4:16 And he said, “At this time next spring, you will be embracing a son.” She said, “No, my lord, O man of God! You must not tell a lie to your servant!”
以利沙说: “明年这个时分, 时候到了, 你必怀抱一个儿子. ”她说: “神人哪! 不要欺哄你的婢女. ”

4:17 But the woman conceived, and she bore a son in the spring, which Elisha had promised to her.
这妇人果然怀了孕, 到明年这个时分, 时候到了, 她就生了一个儿子, 正如以利沙对她所说的.

4:18 The child grew older, and it happened one day that he went out to his father and to the reapers.
孩子渐渐长大. 有一天, 他出来到收割的人中找他的父亲.

4:19 Then he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to the servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
他对他的父亲说: “我的头啊! 我的头啊! ”他的父亲对仆人说: “把他抱到他母亲那里. ”

4:20 So they carried him and brought him to his mother; he sat on her lap until noon and then died.
于是仆人把他抱着, 送到他母亲那里. 孩子坐在他母亲的双膝上, 到中午就死了.

4:21 She went up, laid him on the bed of the man of God, closed the door, and went out behind it.
她把孩子抱上小阁, 放在神人的床上; 她把他关在里面, 就出去了.

4:22 She called to her husband and said, “Please send one of the servants and one of the female donkeys for me, so that I can go quickly up to the man of God and return.”
她呼唤她的丈夫, 说: “请你派一个仆人和一头驴子给我. 我要赶到神人那里, 立刻就回来. ”

4:23 And he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the new moon nor the Sabbath!” And she said, “Peace.”
他说: “为什么你要在今天去见他呢? 今天既不是月朔, 也不是安息日. ”她说: “一切都平安. ”

4:24 She saddled the female donkey, and she said to her servant, “Drive along and go; you must not hold me back from riding, unless I tell you.”
于是她把驴套上鞍, 对她的仆人说: “你来赶驴子走吧, 除非我告诉你, 否则不要因为我慢下来. ”

4:25 So she went and came to the man of God by Mount Carmel. It happened when the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, “There is this Shunammite.
于是她起程, 去到迦密山神人那里. 神人从远处看见她的时候, 就对他的仆人基哈西说: “看哪! 书念的妇人在那边呢!

4:26 Now, please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is it peace for you? Is it peace for your husband? Is it peace for the boy?’ ” She said, “Peace.”
现在你跑去迎接她, 对她说: ‘你平安吗? 你的丈夫平安吗? 你的儿子平安吗? ’”她说: “都平安. ”

4:27 So she came to the man of God at the mountain, and she caught hold of his feet. Then Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, “Let her alone, for her soul is bitter, and Yahweh has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
她来到山上神人那里, 就抱住神人的脚; 基哈西上前要推开她, 但神人说: “由她吧, 因为她的心灵很痛苦. 耶和华隐瞒我, 没有告诉我. ”

4:28 Then she said, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say that you must not mislead me?”
她说: “我有向我主求过儿子吗? 我不是说过: ‘不要欺哄我’的吗? ”

4:29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, you must not greet them; if anyone greets you, you must not answer them. You must put my staff on the face of the boy.”
神人对基哈西说: “你束上腰, 手里拿着我的手杖前去; 不论遇见的是谁, 都不要向他问安; 若是有人向你问安, 你也不要回答他, 只要去把我的手杖放在孩子的脸上. ”

4:30 Then the mother of the boy said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will surely not leave you.” So he got up and went after her.
孩子的母亲说: “我指着永活的耶和华和你的性命起誓, 我决不会离开你. ”神人只好起身随她而去.

4:31 Gehazi crossed over before them, and he put the staff on the face of the boy; but there was no sound, and there was no sign of life, so he returned to meet him. He told him, saying, “The boy did not wake up.”
基哈西在他们前面去了, 把手杖放在孩子的脸上, 可是没有声音, 也没有反应; 于是他回来迎着以利沙, 告诉他说: “那孩子还没有醒过来. ”

4:32 When Elisha came to the house, here was the boy dead, lying on his bed.
以利沙来到书念妇人的家, 看见孩子已经死了, 躺在他的床上.

4:33 He went and closed the door behind the two of them and prayed to Yahweh.
于是他进去, 把自己和孩子二人关在门内, 然后向耶和华祷告.

4:34 Then he went up and lay upon the child and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his palms on his palms. As he bent down over him, the flesh of the boy became warm.
他又上床伏在孩子身上, 使自己的口对着孩子的口, 自己的眼对着孩子的眼, 自己的手放在孩子的手上; 他伏在孩子身上, 孩子的身体就渐渐温暖起来.

4:35 He returned and went to and fro in the house one time, then he went up and bent over him. Then the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
然后他下来在房内来回走了一趟, 再上去, 伏在孩子身上; 那孩子打了七个喷嚏, 跟着就张开了眼睛.

4:36 Elisha called to Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called her and she came to him; then he said, “Pick up your son.”
神人呼唤基哈西, 说: “你去叫那书念的妇人来. ”他就去叫她, 她来到他那里, 他就说: “把你的儿子抱起来. ”

4:37 She came and fell at his feet and bowed down to the ground; then she picked up her son and went out.
于是她进去, 在他的脚前下拜, 俯伏在地上; 然后把儿子抱起来, 出去了.

4:38 So Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now the famine was in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. He said to his servant, put on the large pot and cook a stew for the sons of the prophets.
以利沙又回到吉甲, 那地正发生饥荒. 先知的门徒坐在他面前. 他对他的仆人说: “把大锅放在火上, 给先知的门徒们煮点东西吃. ”

4:39 One went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine and gathered wild gourds from it and filled his cloak. Then he came and cut them into the pot of stew, but they did not know what they were.
有一个人到田野那里去采摘野菜. 他找到一棵野瓜藤, 就摘下藤上的野瓜装满了他的衣服. 他回来, 把瓜切了放入煮东西的锅中, 他们不知道是什么东西.

4:40 They served the men to eat, but when they ate from the stew, they cried out and said, “There is death in the pot, O man of God!” They were not able to eat it.
后来他们倒出来给众人吃, 他们在吃锅里的东西的时候, 都惨叫起来, 说: “神人哪! 锅中有致死的毒物! ”他们就不能吃了.

4:41 Then he said, “Bring some flour,” and he threw it into the pot. He then said, “Serve the people and let them eat.” There was nothing harmful in the pot.
他说: “拿些面给我. ”他把面放在锅中, 说: “倒出来给众人吃吧. ”锅里就没有毒了.

4:42 A man came from Baal-Shalishah and brought food to the man of God: firstfruits and twenty loaves of barley bread, with ripe grain in his sack. He said, “Give it to the people and let them eat.”
有一个人从巴力．沙利沙来, 他带给神人二十个用初熟大麦做的饼, 还有新穗子; 以利沙说: “把这些给众人吃吧! ”

4:43 Then his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” He said, “Give it to the people and let them eat, for thus Yahweh says, ‘They shall eat and have some left over.’ ”
他的仆人说: “我怎能把这一些食物摆在一百个人面前呢? ”神人说: “给众人吃吧, 因为耶和华这样说: ‘他们要吃, 而且还有剩下的. ’”

4:44 So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of Yahweh.
于是仆人摆在众人面前, 他们都吃, 而且还有剩下的, 正如耶和华所说的.

II Kings - Chapter 5

5:1 Now Naaman was the commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man before his master and highly regarded, for by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. Now the man was a mighty warrior, but he was afflicted with a skin disease.
亚兰王的军长乃缦在他的主人面前是一个大人物, 很得王的赏识, 因为耶和华曾借他把胜利赐给亚兰. 这个人是个勇猛的战士, 可惜他是个痲风病人.

5:2 When the Arameans went on a raid, they brought back a young girl from the land of Israel, and she came into the service of the wife of Naaman.
亚兰人曾经出去结队抢掠, 从以色列地掳了一个小女孩, 她就侍候乃缦的妻子.

5:3 She said to her mistress, “If only my lord would come before the prophet who is in Samaria; then he would cure his skin disease.”
她对她的女主人说: “如果我的主人去见撒玛利亚的先知就好了, 他必定能治好他的痲风. ”

5:4 He came and told his master, saying, “Thus and so the girl who is from the land of Israel said.”
于是乃缦去告诉他的主人说: “从以色列地掳回来的女孩子这样这样说. ”

5:5 So the king of Aram said, “Go, I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He went and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
亚兰王说: “你去吧! 我会送一封书信给以色列王的. ”于是乃缦去了, 手里带着三百公斤银子, 约七十公斤金子和十套衣裳.

5:6 So he brought the letter of the king to Israel, saying, “Now, when this letter comes to you, I have just sent Naaman my servant to you that you may cure him from his skin disease.”
他把信带到以色列王那里, 信上说: “这信既已达到你那里, 你看见我差去见你的臣仆乃缦, 你就要医好他的痲风. ”

5:7 It happened that when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God to cause death or to give life? This man is sending a man to me to cure his disease. Indeed! But know and see that he seeks an opportunity against me.”
以色列王读了这信后, 就撕裂自己的衣服, 说: “我是神, 能使人死使人活吗? 这人竟派人到我这里来, 要我治好他的痲风. 请你们想想看, 他是要找机会攻击我. ”

5:8 It happened that as soon as Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, “Why did you tear your clothes? Please may he come to me, that he might know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
神人以利沙听见以色列王撕裂自己的衣服, 就打发人去见王说: “你为什么撕裂自己的衣服呢? 请你把他送到我这里来吧! 他就知道在以色列中有先知了. ”

5:9 Then Naaman came with his horses and his chariots, and he stopped at the doorway of the house of Elisha.
于是乃缦带着他的车马来到, 停在以利沙的门前.

5:10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, you must wash seven times in the Jordan, then your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be clean.”
以利沙差派一个使者去见他说: “你去在约旦河中沐浴七次, 你的身体就会复原, 得着洁净. ”

5:11 But Naaman became angry and he went and said, “Look, I said to myself, ‘Surely he will come out, stand, call upon the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hands over the spot; then he would take away the skin disease.’
乃缦却发怒走了, 他说: “我以为他必会出来, 站着求告耶和华他的神的名, 向着患处摇手, 洁净这痲风病.

5:12 Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all of the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them that I may be clean?” Then he turned and left in anger.
大马士革的亚罢拿河和法珥法河, 不是比以色列一切河流更好吗? 我不是可以在那里沐浴, 得着洁净吗? ”于是他掉过头来, 气忿忿地走了.

5:13 But his servants came near and spoke to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had spoken a difficult thing to you to do, would you not have done it? Why not even when he says to you, ‘Wash and you shall be clean’?”
他的仆人上前, 对他说: “我父啊, 先知如果吩咐你作一件大事, 你不是照着行吗? 何况他只是说: ‘你去沐浴就得洁净’呢? ”

5:14 So he went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh returned as the flesh of a small boy, and he was clean.
于是他下去, 在约旦河里浸了七趟, 正如神人所吩咐的. 他的肌肉就复原, 好像小孩子的肌肉, 他就得了洁净.

5:15 When he returned to the man of God, he and all of his army, he came and stood before him and said, “Please now, I know that there is no God in all of the world except in Israel. So then, please take a gift from your servant.”
乃缦和他的随员又回到神人那里, 他进去, 站在他面前, 说: “看哪! 现在我知道除了在以色列以外, 全地都没有神. 现在, 请你收下你仆人一点礼物吧. ”

5:16 And he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I surely will not take it.” Still he urged him to take it, but he refused.
以利沙说: “我指着我所事奉永活的耶和华起誓, 我决不收取任何礼物. ”乃缦再三促请他接受, 都被他拒绝.

5:17 Then Naaman said, “If not, then please let a load of soil on a pair of mules be given to your servants, for your servant will never again bring a burnt offering and sacrifice to other gods, but only to Yahweh.
乃缦说: “你若是不肯收取, 就请你赐你仆人两头驴子可以驮的泥土, 因为你的仆人不再献燔祭或别的祭给别的神, 只献给耶和华.

5:18 As far as this matter, may Yahweh pardon your servant when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he is leaning himself on my arm, that I also bow down in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh please pardon your servant in this matter.”
但有一件事, 求耶和华赦免你的仆人; 我的主人到临门庙那里叩拜的时候, 他总是靠在我的手臂上, 因此, 我也曾在临门庙叩拜. 我在临门庙叩拜这事, 求耶和华赦免你的仆人. ”

5:19 He said to him, “Go in peace,” so he went from him a short distance.
以利沙说: “你平平安安回去吧. ”于是乃缦离开他去了, 走了一段路程.

5:20 But Gehazi the servant of Elisha, the man of God, thought, “Look, my master has refrained from taking what this Aramean Naaman brought from his hand. As Yahweh lives, I will certainly run after him, and I will accept something from him.”
神人以利沙的仆人基哈西心里说: “看哪, 我主人不肯从这亚兰人乃缦手中收取他带来的礼物; 我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 我要追上他, 向他要些东西. ”

5:21 So Gehazi pursued after Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he jumped off his chariot to meet him and asked him, “Is it peace?”
于是基哈西追赶乃缦. 乃缦看见有人追上来, 就下车迎着他, 说: “平安吗? ”

5:22 He said, “Peace. My master has sent me saying, ‘Look, just now two servants from the hill country of Ephraim came to me, from the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothing.’ ”
他说: “平安. 我主人派我来说: ‘刚才有两位年轻人, 都是先知的门徒, 从以法莲山地来到我这里, 请你给他们三十公斤银子和两套衣服. ’”

5:23 Then Naaman said, “Be prepared to accept two talents.” So he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing and gave it to two of his servants and they carried it before him.
乃缦说: “请你拿六十公斤吧. ”他再三促请基哈西, 并把六十公斤银子, 装在两个袋子里, 还有两套衣服, 交给两个仆人. 他们就在基哈西前面捧着走.

5:24 When he came to the citadel, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, then sent away the men so that they went.
到达山冈后, 他就从他们手中接过东西, 存放在屋子里, 然后打发他们离去, 他们就走了.

5:25 When he went and stood by his master, Elisha asked him, “From where have you come, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant has not gone anywhere.”
他进去, 侍立在他主人面前, 以利沙对他说: “基哈西, 你从哪里来? ”他说: “你的仆人没有到过什么地方. ”

5:26 Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you as the man turned from on his chariot to meet you? Is it time to take silver, clothes, olive orchards, vineyards, sheep, oxen, male slaves, and female slaves?
以利沙对他说: “那人下车转身迎着你的时候, 我的心不是和你同去吗? 现在不是收受银子,衣服,橄榄园,葡萄园,羊,牛,仆人和婢女的时候.

5:27 The skin disease of Naaman shall cling to you and to your offspring forever.” Then he went out from before him having a skin disease like the snow.
因此, 乃缦的痲风要附在你的身上和你后裔的身上, 直到永远. ”基哈西从以利沙面前离去时, 就长了痲风, 好像雪那样白.

II Kings - Chapter 6

6:1 Then the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please look; the place where we are living before you is too cramped for us.
众先知门徒对以利沙说: “请看, 我们在你面前居住的那一个地方, 对我们来说实在是太窄小了.

6:2 Let us please go to the Jordan and each bring from there one log that we might make a place there for us to live.” Then he said, “Do so.”
请你让我们到约旦河, 每人从那里取一根木头, 我们要在那里为自己建造一个地方居住. ”以利沙说: “你们去吧! ”

6:3 Then a certain one said, “Please be prepared and go with your servants,” and he said, “I will go.”
有一个门徒说: “请你和你的仆人们一起去. ”他说: “我会去的. ”

6:4 He went with them, and they went to the Jordan, and they cut down the trees.
他就和他们同去. 他们到了约旦河, 就砍伐树木.

6:5 It happened as the one was felling the log, that the iron ax fell into the water. He called out and said, “Oh, no! My master, it was borrowed!”
有一个门徒砍伐木头的时候, 斧头掉到水里去了. 他就喊着说: “惨啦! 我主啊, 这斧头是借回来的. ”

6:6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” So he showed him the place, and then he cut off a stick and threw it there and made the iron ax float.
神人说: “掉在哪里呢? ”于是他把那地点指给他看. 他砍了一根木头, 丢在那里, 那斧头就浮上来了.

6:7 Then he said, “Pick it up for yourself,” so he stretched out his hand and took it.
以利沙说: “你自己拿上来吧. ”他就伸手把它拿住了.

6:8 The king of Aram was fighting with Israel, so he consulted with his officers, saying, “My camp is at such and such a place.”
亚兰王与以色列人打仗, 他和他的臣仆商议, 说: “我要在某处某处埋伏. ”

6:9 Then the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Take care while crossing over to this place, because the Arameans are descending there.”
神人就差派人去见以色列王说: “你要小心, 不要经过这个地方, 因为亚兰人在那里埋伏. ”

6:10 So the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God said to him and warned him, so he was on guard there continually.
以色列王派人到那地方, 就是神人曾告诉他, 警告他的, 他就在那里小心防范; 这样不止一两次.

6:11 Then the heart of the king of Aram was stormy because of this matter, so he called his servants and said to them, “Can you not tell me who among us sides with the king of Israel?”
亚兰王因为这事心中大感困惑, 他召了他的臣仆来, 对他们说: “在我们中间有谁帮助以色列王, 你们不告诉我吗? ”

6:12 Then one of his servants said, “No, my lord the king, but Elisha the prophet who is in Israel tells the king of Israel things which you speak in your own bedchamber.”
他的一位臣仆说: “我主我王啊! 不是的; 只不过是以色列的以利沙先知, 把你在你卧室内所说的话, 告知了以色列王. ”

6:13 Then he said, “Go and see where he is so that I can send and capture him.” Then he was told to him, “Look, he is in Dothan.”
于是王说: “你们去看看他在哪里, 我要派人把他捉住. ”有人告诉他说: “看哪! 他正在多坍. ”

6:14 So he sent horses, chariots, and an oppressing army there. They arrived at night and surrounded the town.
他就差派车马和一大队军兵往那里去, 他们在夜间抵达, 围困那城.

6:15 The attendant of the man of God arose early and went out, and look, the army was surrounding the city with horses and chariots. His servant said to him, “Oh no, my master! What shall we do?”
神人的侍从清早起来, 走出屋子, 看见军队,车马围住了城. 神人的仆人对神人说: “惨啦, 我主啊! 我们怎样办才好呢? ”

6:16 And he said, “Don’t be afraid, for more are with us than are with them.”
神人说: “不要惧怕, 因为和我们在一起的比和他们在一起的更多. ”

6:17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Yahweh, please open his eyes that he may see,” and Yahweh opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw, and look, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
以利沙祷告, 说: “耶和华啊! 请你打开他的眼睛, 使他能看见. ”于是耶和华打开了仆人的眼睛, 他就看见; 看哪! 那山上布满了火马火车, 围绕着以利沙.

6:18 They came down to him, and Elisha prayed to Yahweh and said, “Please strike this people with blindness,” so he struck them with blindness as Elisha had spoken.
亚兰人下来攻击以利沙, 以利沙就祷告耶和华, 说: “求你击打这民族, 使他们瞎眼. ”于是耶和华击打他们, 使他们瞎眼, 正如以利沙所说的.

6:19 Then Elisha said to them, “This is not the way and this is not the city. Come after me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” Then he brought them to Samaria.
以利沙对他们说: “这不是那条路, 这边不是那座城; 你们跟着我来, 我要把你们领到你们要寻找的人那里. ”于是他把他们领到撒玛利亚.

6:20 It happened at the moment they came to Samaria, Elisha said, “O Yahweh, open the eyes of these that they may see,” so Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw, and look, the middle of Samaria!
他们进入撒玛利亚的时候, 以利沙就说: “耶和华啊! 求你开这些人的眼睛, 使他们能看见. ”于是耶和华开了他们的眼睛, 他们就看见了. 看哪! 他们竟是在撒玛利亚城中.

6:21 Then the king of Israel said to Elisha when he saw them, “Shall I kill them? Shall I kill, my father?”
以色列王看见他们, 就对以利沙说: “我父啊, 我可以击杀他们吗? ”

6:22 And he said, “You shall not kill. Would you kill those whom you took captive with the sword or with the bow? Put food and water before them that they may eat and drink and then go to their master.”
以利沙说: “你不可击杀他们. 你可以击杀你自己用刀用弓掳回来的人吗? 你要在他们面前摆上食物和水, 给他们吃喝, 然后回到他们的主人那里去. ”

6:23 So he made a great feast for them, and they ate and drank; then he sent them, and they went to their master. And the bands of the Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.
于是王为他们预备盛大的宴会; 他们吃喝完了, 王打发他们离去, 他们就回到他们的主人那里去了. 从此, 亚兰的军队不再侵犯以色列地了.

6:24 It happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Aram assembled all of his army and marched up and laid siege against Samaria.
后来, 亚兰王便．哈达征召他全部的军队上来围困撒玛利亚.

6:25 There was a great famine in Samaria, and behold, a siege was against it, until the head of a donkey went for eighty shekels of silver, and one fourth of the measure of the dung of doves went for five shekels of silver.
于是撒玛利亚发生了极大的饥荒, 敌军继续包围, 以致一个驴头要卖九百克银子, 两百克的鸽子粪也值六十克银子.

6:26 It happened that the king of Israel was crossing over on the wall, and a woman called out to him, saying, “Help, my lord the king!”
以色列王在城墙上经过时, 有一个妇人向他呼求说: “我主我王啊, 救救我! ”

6:27 He said, “No, let Yahweh help you. How can I save you? From the threshing floor or from the wine press?”
他说: “如果耶和华不救你, 我又从哪里救你? 是从打谷场, 或是从榨酒池呢? ”

6:28 The king said to her, “What is the problem?” Then the woman said, “This woman said to me, ‘Give me your son, and let us eat him today, then tomorrow we will eat my son.’
王对她说: “到底有什么事呢? ”她说: “这妇人对我说: ‘把你的儿子交出来, 今日我们好把他吃了; 明天我们可以吃我的儿子. ’

6:29 So we cooked my son and ate him, and I said to her the next day, ‘Give your son that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
于是我们把我的儿子煮了, 把他吃了. 第二日, 我对她说: ‘把你的儿子交出来, 我们好把他吃了. ’她却把她的儿子收藏起来. ”

6:30 It happened that when the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he had been walking on the wall, and the people saw, and behold, sackcloth was over his flesh underneath.
王听见那妇人的话, 就撕裂衣服, 他当时正在城墙上, 人民都看见他; 看哪, 他里面贴身穿着的是件麻衣.

6:31 Then he said, “May God do to me and thus may he add, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today!”
他说: “如果今日沙法的儿子以利沙的头仍留在他身上, 愿神惩罚我, 而且加倍惩罚我. ”

6:32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house and the elders were sitting with him, and the king dispatched a man from before him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Did you see that this son of a murderer has sent to remove my head? Look, when the messenger comes, close the door; and you must hold the door closed against him. Is not the sound of the feet of his master behind him?”
那时, 以利沙正坐在自己的屋子里, 众长老也和他坐在一起. 王差派一个在他面前侍立的人去, 那使者去到以利沙那里以前, 以利沙对众长老说: “你们看这凶手之子派人来取我的首级. 你们留意那使者来到的时候, 你们要把门关上, 把他挡在门外. 他主人的脚步声不是在他后面吗? ”

6:33 While he was still speaking with them, suddenly the messenger was coming down to him, and he said, “Look this trouble is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”
他和众长老还在说话的时候, 看哪, 王(“王”原文作“使者”)就下到他那里, 说: “看哪, 这灾祸是从耶和华来的, 我为什么还仰望耶和华呢? ”

II Kings - Chapter 7

7:1 Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh: ‘Thus says Yahweh, “At this time tomorrow a seah of wheat bread flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.’ ”
以利沙说: “你们要听耶和华的话. 耶和华这样说: ‘明日大约这个时候, 在撒玛利亚的城门, 三公斤面粉只卖十一克银子, 六公斤大麦也只是卖十一克银子. ’”

7:2 Then the officer on whom the king relied answered the man of God and said, “Look, even if Yahweh is making windows in heaven, could this thing happen?” And he said, “Look, you will be seeing it with your eyes, but you shall not eat from it there.”
但那搀扶王的官长回答神人, 说: “即使耶和华在天上开了窗户, 也不会有这事发生. ”以利沙说: “看哪, 你要亲眼看见, 却吃不着. ”

7:3 Now four men who had a skin disease were at the entrance of the gate, and they said to each other, “Why are we sitting here until we die?
有四个痲风病人在城门口那里, 他们彼此说: “我们为什么坐在这里等死呢?

7:4 If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; but if we sit here, we shall die. So then, come, let us fall into the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we shall live; but if they kill us, then we shall die.”
我们如果说: ‘我们进城去吧! ’城里正有饥荒, 我们就要死在那里. 我们如果坐在这里, 也是要死. 现在, 让我们去投降亚兰人的军队吧; 如果他们饶我们一命, 我们就可以活着; 如果他们要杀死我们, 我们就死吧. ”

7:5 So they got up at dusk to go to the camp of the Arameans. They went up to the edge of the camp of the Arameans, and look, there was no man there!
于是他们在黄昏动身去到亚兰人的军营那里; 他们来到亚兰人的军营外边, 竟看不见一个人在那里.

7:6 Now the Lord had caused the camp of the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots, the sound of horses, and the sound of a great army. So they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us!”
因为主使亚兰人的军队听见战车,战马和大军的声音; 他们就彼此说: “看哪, 一定是以色列王雇用了赫人的众王和埃及人的众王来攻击我们. ”

7:7 So they got up and fled at dusk and left their tents, their horses, their donkeys, and the camp as it was, and they fled for their lives.
于是他们在黄昏的时候起来逃跑, 他们丢下他们的帐幕, 他们的马匹和他们的驴子; 军营仍在那里, 他们却只顾逃命去了.

7:8 When these who had the skin disease came to the edge of the camp, they went into a certain tent and they ate, drank, and took from there silver and gold and clothes. Then they went and hid them, then returned and came to another tent, and they took from there and went and hid them.
这些患痲风病的人来到军营的外边, 他们进入其中一座帐幕, 又吃又喝, 并且从那里取去金子,银子和衣服, 然后离去, 把东西收藏起来. 他们再回去, 进入另一座帐幕, 从那里拿走财物, 去收藏起来.

7:9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news! If we are silent and wait until the light of morning, they will find us and we will be punished. So then, come, let us go and tell the house of the king.”
他们彼此说: “我们这样作是不对的. 今天是报好消息的日子, 我们竟不出声, 如果我们等到早上天亮, 我们就算为有罪了. 现在, 来吧, 我们要去通知王家. ”

7:10 When they came, they called to the gatekeepers of the city and told them, saying, “We came to the camp of the Arameans, and behold, there was no man or the voice of a man there! Only the horses and the donkeys were tied up, and the tents were left as they were.”
他们就去呼喊守城门的, 告诉他们说: “我们去过亚兰人的军营那里, 看见那里一个人也没有, 也没有人声. 只有马仍拴着, 驴仍拴着, 帐幕都原封不动. ”

7:11 Then the gatekeepers called and told it inside the house of the king.
守城门的就喊叫起来, 又往城内给王家报信.

7:12 The king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Please let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. The Arameans know that we are hungry, so they went out from the camp to hide in the field, saying, ‘When they go out from the city, we shall seize them alive and go into the city.’ ”
王在夜间起来, 对他的臣仆说: “我告诉你们亚兰人对我们所作的是怎么一回事. 他们知道我们闹饥荒, 所以出到军营外在田野埋伏, 心里说: ‘他们必从城里出来. 我们就可以活捉他们, 进入城里去了. ’”

7:13 Then one of his servants replied and said, “Please let them take five of the remaining horses which remain in the city; behold, they are like all of the multitude of Israel that remain in it; they are like all the multitude of Israel who have perished. Let us send and see.”
他的一位臣仆回答, 说: “请叫人拉五匹剩下的马来; 看哪, 它们像所有剩下在这里的以色列人, 都要像所有死去的以色列人一样; 让我们打发人去看看吧. ”

7:14 So he took two charioteer horsemen, and the king sent after the camp of the Arameans, saying, “Go, find out,”
于是他们取了两辆战车和马匹, 王差人去追踪亚兰军, 吩咐他们: “去查看吧. ”

7:15 and they went after them to the Jordan. Look, all of the way was littered with clothes and equipment which the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. Then the messengers returned and told the king.
他们就去追踪亚兰军直到约旦河. 看哪, 沿途堆满了衣物器具, 就是亚兰人在匆忙逃走时丢弃的. 于是使者回去向王报告.

7:16 So the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. A seah of wheat flour went for a shekel and two seahs of barley went for a shekel according to the word of Yahweh.
众民就出去, 抢掠亚兰人的军营. 于是三公斤面粉卖十一克银子, 六公斤大麦也卖十一克银子, 好像耶和华所说的.

7:17 Then the king appointed the officer he was depending on over the gate, but the people trampled him and he died, according to that which the man of God had said which he spoke when the king came down to him.
王指派那官长, 就是那搀扶他的, 在城门口镇压. 众民在城门那里把他践踏在地, 他就死了, 好像神人所说的, 就是王下来到神人那里时, 他所说的.

7:18 It happened as the man of God spoke to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley shall be sold for a shekel and a seah of wheat flour for a shekel at this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria.”
这是因为当神人对王说: “明天大约这个时分, 在撒玛利亚城门口, 六公斤大麦卖十一克银子, 三公斤面粉也卖十一克银子. ”

7:19 Then the officer had replied to the man of God and said, “Look, even if Yahweh is opening the windows in heaven, could this thing happen?” And he had said, “Look you are about to see it with your eyes, but you will not eat from it.”
那官长回答神人, 说: “即使耶和华在天上开了窗户, 也不会有这事发生. ”神人说: “看哪, 你要亲眼看见, 却吃不着. ”

7:20 So it had happened to him; the people trampled him in the gate and he died.
这事果然发生在他身上: 众民把他践踏在地, 他就死了.

II Kings - Chapter 8

8:1 Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Get up and go, you and your household, and dwell as an alien wherever you can, for Yahweh has called for a famine, and it will come to the land for seven years.”
以利沙告诉那妇人(她的儿子曾被以利沙救活), 说: “你和你全家要动身, 离开这里, 住在你可以寄居的地方, 因为耶和华宣布了将有饥荒, 这饥荒要临到这地七年. ”

8:2 So the woman got up and did according to the word of the man of God. She and her household went and dwelt as an alien in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
那妇人就动身, 按照神人所说的去作. 她和她的全家离去, 住在非利士地七年.

8:3 It happened at the end of seven years that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines and went out to appeal to the king for her household and for her properties.
七年结束的时候, 那妇人从非利士地回来, 就去为自己的房屋,田产哀求王.

8:4 Now the king was speaking to Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all of the great things which Elisha has done.”
那时王正在和神人的仆人基哈西交谈, 说: “请你向我讲述以利沙所作的一切大事. ”

8:5 It happened that as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, suddenly the woman whose son he had restored to life was crying out to the king about her household and about her field. Then Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life!”
他正向王讲述以利沙叫死人复活的事的时候; 看哪, 以利沙曾救活她的儿子的那妇人来为她的房屋,田产哀求王. 基哈西说: “我主我王, 这就是那妇人了, 她的这个儿子就是以利沙救活的了. ”

8:6 So the king asked the woman, and she told him. So the king appointed for her a certain court official, saying, “Restore all that is hers and all the yield of the field from the day she left the land up to now.”
王问那妇人, 她就告诉他一切事. 于是王指派一个太监给他, 说: “把所有属于她的, 以及从她离开此地直到现在, 她田地的一切出产都归还她. ”

8:7 Elisha came to Damascus. Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram was ill, and he was told, “The man of God has come up here.”
以利沙来到大马士革. 亚兰王便．哈达患了病. 有人告诉他说: “神人来到这里了. ”

8:8 Then the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand and go meet the man of God. Inquire of Yahweh from him, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this illness?’ ”
王对哈薛说: “你带着礼物, 去见神人, 托他求问耶和华说: ‘我这病能痊愈吗? ’”

8:9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand of all of the good things of Damascus, a load on each of forty camels, and he came and stood before him. Then he said, “Your son Ben-Hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this illness?’ ”
于是哈薛去见以利沙. 他带着礼物, 就是大马士革各样的美物, 由四十匹骆驼驮着, 去站在他的面前, 说: “你的儿子亚兰王便．哈达派我到你这里来, 问你说: ‘我这病能痊愈吗? ’”

8:10 Elisha said to him, “Go; say to him, ‘You shall certainly recover,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he certainly will die.”
以利沙对他说: “你去告诉他说: ‘你一定会痊愈的’, 但耶和华指示我, 他一定要死. ”

8:11 Then the man fixed his gaze and stared at him until he was ashamed and the man of God cried.
以利沙定睛看着他, 直到他感到局促不安; 然后, 神人哭了起来.

8:12 Then Hazael asked, “Why is my lord crying?” He said, “Because I know what evil you will do to the Israelites. You will set their fortifications on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword. Their little ones you will dash to pieces, and their pregnant women you will rip open!”
哈薛说: “我主为什么哭起来了? ”他回答: “因为我已知道你要对以色列人施行的恶事. 他们的城堡, 你要放火焚烧; 他们的年轻人, 你要用刀杀死; 他们的婴孩, 你要摔死; 他们的孕妇, 你要剖开. ”

8:13 Then Hazael said, “But how could your servant, who is like a dog, do this great thing?” Elisha said, “Yahweh has shown me that you are to be king over Aram.”
哈薛说: “你仆人算什么? 不过是一条狗罢了; 怎可以作这样的大事呢? ”以利沙说: “耶和华已指示我, 你要作王统治亚兰. ”

8:14 So he departed from Elisha and came to his master. He asked him, “What did Elisha say to you.” So he said, “He said to me that you will certainly recover.”
于是他离开以利沙, 回到他主人那里. 便．哈达对他说: “以利沙对你说了些什么呢? ”他说: “他对我说: ‘你一定痊愈的. ’”

8:15 On the next day, he took the bed cover, dipped it in the water, and spread it over his face so that he died. Then Hazael became king in his place.
第二天, 哈薛拿被窝浸在水里, 然后蒙住便．哈达的面, 他就死了; 于是哈薛接续他作王.

8:16 Now in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Joram son of Jehoshaphat became the king of Judah.
以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰第五年, 犹大王约沙法还在的时候, 犹大王约沙法的儿子约兰登基作了王.

8:17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
他登基时是三十二岁; 在耶路撒冷作王八年.

8:18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab became his wife, and he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
他照着以色列诸王的道路而行, 好像亚哈家所行的; 因为他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻, 并且行耶和华看为恶的事.

8:19 Yet Yahweh was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as he had promised to give him a lamp for his sons always.
但耶和华因他仆人大卫的缘故不愿毁灭犹大, 却要照他应许大卫的, 赐给他和他的后裔永远有香灯延续.

8:20 In his days, Edom rebelled against the rule of Judah, and they set up a king over them.
约兰王在位的日子, 以东人反叛, 脱离犹大人的手, 自己立王统治本国.

8:21 So Joram crossed over to Zair and all the chariots with him. It happened that he arose by night and attacked Edom who had surrounded him and the commanders of the chariots; but the army fled to their tents.
于是约兰过到撒益去, 并且带着他所有的战车. 他夜间起来攻击包围他和他的战车军长的以东人, 他的军民却逃回自己的帐棚去了.

8:22 So Edom has rebelled against the rule of Judah until this day; then Libnah also rebelled at that time.
于是以东人背叛, 脱离犹大人的手, 直到今日; 那时立拿人也同时背叛.

8:23 The remainder of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约兰其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

8:24 So Joram slept with his ancestors, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and Ahaziah his son became king in place of him.
约兰和他的祖先同睡; 人把他埋葬在大卫城和他的祖先一起; 他的儿子亚哈谢接续他作王.

8:25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Joram became king of Judah.
以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰在位第十二年, 犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢作犹大王.

8:26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
他登基时是二十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王一年. 他母亲名叫亚他利雅, 是以色列王暗利的孙女.

8:27 He walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, as the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
他照着亚哈家的道路而行, 行耶和华看为恶的事, 好像亚哈家一样, 因为他是亚哈家的女婿.

8:28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab for the battle against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-Gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.
亚哈谢与亚哈的儿子约兰往基列的拉末, 同亚兰王哈薛交战; 亚兰人击伤了约兰.

8:29 Joram the king returned to Jezreel to heal from the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted at Ramah when Hazael king of Aram fought him. Ahaziah the son of Joram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was ill.
约兰于是回去, 到耶斯列治伤, 就是当他攻打亚兰王哈薛时, 亚兰人在拉末击伤他的. 犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了, 所以下到耶斯列去探望他.

II Kings - Chapter 9

9:1 Now Elisha the prophet called for one of the sons of the prophets, and he said to him, “Gird your loins, and take this flask of olive oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead.
以利沙先知唤来一位先知门徒, 对他说: “你要束上腰, 手里拿着这瓶膏油, 到基列的拉末去.

9:2 Go there and look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi. Go, for you must cause him to arise from among his brothers, and you must bring him into an inner room.
你到了那里, 要在那里寻找宁示的孙子,约沙法的儿子耶户. 你要去, 请他从他的兄弟中起来, 然后把他带进一个密室.

9:3 You must take the flask of olive oil and pour it out on his head. You must say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I hereby anoint you as king over Israel.” ’ Then you must open the door and flee; do not linger!”
你要拿着这瓶膏油, 把油倒在他的头上, 说: “耶和华这样说: ‘我膏立你作王统治以色列. ’然后, 你要开门逃跑, 不可停留. ”

9:4 So the young man, servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
于是那年轻的先知往基列的拉末去了.

9:5 He came, and look, the commanders of the army were sitting there. He said, “I have a word for you, O commander!” Jehu said, “For whom? For all of us?” And he said, “For you, O commander!”
他到了那里, 看见军队的将领都坐在那里. 他就说: “将军, 我有话要对你说. ”耶户说: “我们这里所有的人, 你要对哪一个说话呢? ”他说: “将军, 我要对你说. ”

9:6 He got up and went to the house, and poured the olive oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘I hereby anoint you as king over the people of Yahweh, over Israel.
耶户就起来, 进了屋子; 先知门徒就把油倒在耶户的头上, 对他说: “以色列的神耶和华这样说: ‘我膏立你作王, 统治耶和华的人民以色列.

9:7 You will destroy the house of Ahab your master, and you will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets and the blood of all of the servants of Yahweh, from the hand of Jezebel.
你要击杀你的主人亚哈的家. 我要为我仆人众先知的血和所有耶和华的仆人的血, 在耶洗别身上报仇.

9:8 All of the house of Ahab will perish, and I shall cut off all males from Ahab, both bond and free.
亚哈的全家都要灭亡; 我要剪除在以色列属亚哈的男人, 无论是自由的, 或是为奴的.

9:9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
我要使亚哈的家好像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家, 又好像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家.

9:10 The dogs will eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and there shall not be anyone to bury her.’ ” Then he opened the door and fled.
至于耶洗别, 她的尸体要在耶斯列的田间被狗吃掉, 没有人来埋葬. ’”他一说完, 就开门逃走了.

9:11 Then Jehu came out to the officers of his master, and they said to him, “Peace? Why did this madman come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man and his foolish talk.”
耶户出来, 到他主人的臣仆那里去; 他们问他说: “一切都平安吗? 那疯子来见你有什么事呢? ”他对他们说: “你们认识这个人, 也知道他说些什么. ”

9:12 Then they said, “Liar. Please tell us.” He said, “Thus and so he said to me, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I hereby anoint you as king over Israel.” ’ ”
他们说: “谎话! 请你告诉我们吧. ”他说: “他这样对我说: ‘耶和华这样说: 我已经膏立你作王统治以色列. ’”

9:13 So they hastened each one to take his cloak, and they spread them under him on the bare steps, blew on the trumpet, and said, “Jehu is king!”
他们就急忙把自己的衣服放在他脚下的台阶上, 然后吹响号角宣告: “耶户作王了. ”

9:14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. Now Joram was keeping guard in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all of Israel, because of the threat of Hazael king of Aram.
这样, 宁示的孙子,约沙法的儿子耶户背叛约兰了. 约兰和以色列众人曾因亚兰王哈薛的缘故, 守卫着基列的拉末.

9:15 But Joram the king had returned to heal in Jezreel from the wound which the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. Jehu said, “If this is what you want, do not let him go out as a fugitive from the city to go to make it known in Jezreel.”
但后来约兰王回到耶斯列去治伤, 就是他与亚兰王哈薛作战时, 弓箭手击伤他的. 耶户说: “你们若是同意, 就不要让人逃出这城到耶斯列去报信. ”

9:16 Jehu mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to visit Joram.
于是耶户登上战车, 往耶斯列去了; 因约兰正在那里卧病, 犹大王亚哈谢下来探望他.

9:17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu when he came, and he said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them.” And he said, “Is it peace?”
站在耶斯列城楼的哨兵看见耶户的队伍来临, 就说: “我看见有一队人马. ”约兰说: “叫一个骑兵来, 派他去见他们, 说: ‘平安吗? ’”

9:18 So the rider of the horse went out to meet him, and he said, “Thus the king asks, ‘Is it peace?’ ” Then Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Turn after me.” Then the watchman reported, saying, “The messenger went up to them, but he did not return.”
于是有一个骑兵去迎见耶户, 说: “王这样问: ‘平安吗? ’”耶户说: “平安不平安和你有什么关系呢? 转到我后面去吧! ”那哨兵又报告: “使者到了他们那里, 却没有回来. ”

9:19 Then he sent out a second horseman, and he came to them and said, “Thus the king asks, ‘Is it peace?’ ” Then Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Turn after me.”
王又派第二个骑兵去. 他来到他们那里, 说: “王这样问: ‘平安吗? ’”耶户说: “平安不平安和你有什么关系呢? 转到我后面去吧! ”

9:20 So the sentinel reported, saying, “He went up to them, but he did not return, and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives with madness.”
那哨兵又报告: “他已经去到他那里, 却没有回来. 那驾车的手法很像宁示的孙子耶户, 因为他驾车很凶猛. ”

9:21 Then Joram said, “Get ready,” so he got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel went out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each with his chariot. They went out to meet Jehu, and they found him at the tract of land of Naboth the Jezreelite.
约兰就说: “备车. ”他们就为他备了车. 以色列王约兰和犹大王亚哈谢出城, 他们各自乘坐战车出去见耶户, 就在耶斯列人拿伯的田间遇上了他.

9:22 When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, “Is it peace?” And he said, “What peace is there while the prostitutions of your mother Jezebel and her sorceries are numerous?”
约兰看见耶户的时候, 就说: “耶户, 平安吗? ”耶户说: “你的母亲耶洗别的淫行和邪术这么多, 还有平安吗? ”

9:23 Joram turned his chariot and fled and said to Ahaziah, “It’s treason, Ahaziah!”
约兰立刻把车调转过来逃跑, 对亚哈谢说: “亚哈谢啊, 反了! ”

9:24 Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between his shoulders so that the arrow went out from his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.
耶户拉满弓, 射中约兰的背; 箭从他的心窝穿出, 他就倒在自己的车上.

9:25 He said to Bidkar his third servant, “Lift him out and throw him on the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for remember, you and I were with the pair of chariots behind Ahab his father when Yahweh pronounced this oracle against him:
耶户对副官毕甲说: “把他抬起来, 丢在耶斯列人拿伯的田地里, 因为我还记得你我一起驾车跟随他父亲亚哈的时候, 耶和华曾宣告了这些有关亚哈的话:

9:26 ‘ “Since I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his children yesterday,” declares Yahweh, “I will requite it for you in this tract of land,” declares Yahweh.’ So then lift him out and throw him on the tract of land according to the word of Yahweh.”
‘昨天我实在看见了拿伯的血和他儿子们的血(这是耶和华的宣告); 我要在这块田地上报应你(这是耶和华的宣告). ’现在你要按着耶和华的话, 把他抬起来丢在田里. ”

9:27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw, he fled the way of Beth-Haggen. Jehu pursued after him and said, “Shoot him also, in the chariot.” They shot him at the ascent of Gur which is in Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo, but he died there.
犹大王亚哈谢看见这一切, 就沿着通往伯哈干的路逃走. 耶户紧追着他, 说: “还有他! ”他们就在靠近以伯莲的姑珥坡把他击伤在战车上. 他逃到米吉多, 就死在那里.

9:28 Then his officers carried him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his tomb with his ancestors in the city of David.
他的臣仆用车把他的尸体送到耶路撒冷, 葬在大卫城他自己的坟墓, 和他的祖先一同长眠.

9:29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.
亚哈的儿子约兰第十一年, 亚哈谢登基统治犹大.

9:30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, so she painted her eyes with black eye paint and adorned her head and looked through the window.
耶户到了耶斯列. 耶洗别已经听闻, 就涂眼梳头, 从窗户里往外观望.

9:31 Now Jehu had come in the gate, so she said, “Is it peace, O Zimri, murderer of his master?”
耶户进入城门的时候, 她说: “平安吗, 杀主的心利? ”

9:32 When he lifted up his face to the window, he asked, “Who is with me?” Two or three eunuchs looked down to him.
耶户抬头对着窗户, 说: “有谁拥护我? 谁? ”立时有两三个太监往外望着他.

9:33 So he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled her.
他说: “把她拋下来! ”他们就把她拋下去. 她的血溅在墙上和马匹身上, 它们也践踏了她.

9:34 Then he came and ate and drank, and said, “Please take care of this cursed one and bury her, for she is the daughter of a king.”
耶户进入屋内, 又吃又喝, 然后说: “你们去料理那被咒诅的妇人, 把她埋了, 因为她是王的女儿. ”

9:35 When they went to bury her, they could not find her, except the skull, the feet, and the palms of the hands.
于是他们去收殓她, 却找不到她的尸体, 只找到头骨,双脚和双掌.

9:36 They returned and told him, and he said, “This is the word of Yahweh which he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘On the plot of ground of Jezreel, the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel.’ ”
他们就回去, 告诉他, 他说: “这正是耶和华借着他仆人提斯比人以利亚所说的话: ‘野狗必在耶斯列的地方吃耶洗别的肉. ’

9:37 So the dead body of Jezebel became dung on the surface spread on the field in the plot of ground of Jezreel, so one cannot say, “This is Jezebel.”
耶洗别的尸体要像耶斯列田间的粪肥, 以致人不能说: ‘这是耶洗别. ’”

II Kings - Chapter 10

10:1 Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria, and Jehu wrote letters, and he sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel, to the elders and to the guardians of Ahab, saying,
亚哈有七十个儿子在撒玛利亚. 耶户写了一批信, 送到撒玛利亚, 对耶斯列的首领,长老和亚哈众子的导师说:

10:2 “Now, when this letter comes to you and your master’s sons are with you, the chariots are with you, the horses, a fortified city, and weapons,
“你们主人的儿子都在你们那里, 你们也有战车,马匹,设防城和武器, 那么这封信到达你们那里的时候,

10:3 then you must select the best and the most suitable from the sons of your master, and you must place him on the throne of his father, and they must fight for the house of your masters.”
你们就要看看在你们主人的儿子中, 哪一个是最好最合适的, 把他立在父亲的宝座上; 你们又要为你们主人的家作战. ”

10:4 But they were very afraid, and they said, “Look, two kings could not stand before him; how can we stand?”
他们就十分害怕, 说: “看哪, 两个王尚且不能在他面前站立得住, 我们又怎能站得住呢? ”

10:5 So whoever was over the house, and whoever was over the city, and the elders and the guardians sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants; all that you say to us, we shall do. We shall not make anyone a king. Do what is good in your eyes.”
于是内务长,市长,长老和亚哈众子的导师送信给耶户说: “我们是你的仆人, 你吩咐我们的, 我们都必照办; 我们也不会立什么人作王; 你看怎样好, 我们就怎样作. ”

10:6 Then he wrote to them a second letter, saying, “If you are for me, and you are listening to my voice, take the heads of the men of the sons of your master and come to me at this time tomorrow at Jezreel.” Now the sons of the king, seventy men, were with the leaders of the city who were raising them.
于是耶户写第二封信给他们说: “如果你们是归从我, 听我的话的, 就要把你们主人的儿子们的头颅取下, 明天大约这个时候, 带来耶斯列给我. ”那时, 王的七十个儿子是住在抚养他们的城中的大臣那里.

10:7 When the letter came to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed seventy men. Then they put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.
这信到达他们那里的时候, 他们就拿住王的众子, 把这七十人杀了, 然后把他们的头放在盘子里, 送到耶斯列耶户那里.

10:8 Then the messenger came and told him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons,” and he said, “Put them in two piles at the entrance of the gate until morning.”
有使者来告诉耶户说: “王的众子的头送到了. ”他说: “把它们分作两堆放在城门口, 直到早上. ”

10:9 It happened in the morning that he went out, stood, and said to all of the people, “You are righteous. Look, I conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all of these?
第二天早上的时候, 耶户出来, 站着对众民说: “你们都是无罪的, 看哪, 是我自己背叛了我的主人, 把他杀了, 但这所有的人又是谁击杀的呢?

10:10 Know then that the word of Yahweh will not fail which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab; Yahweh has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.
你们要知道耶和华的话, 就是耶和华所说攻击亚哈家的话, 一句也没有落空; 耶和华借着他的仆人以利亚所说的话, 他都作成了. ”

10:11 Then Jehu killed all of the remainder of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, all of his leaders, his close friends, and his priests, until there was no survivor left for him.
于是耶户击杀了亚哈家在耶斯列剩下的人, 还有他所有的大臣,有关的人,祭司, 没有一个给他存留.

10:12 Then he arose and went and came to Samaria. On the way, he was at Beth-Eked of the shepherds,
耶户动身, 往撒玛利亚去. 在路上, 他经过牧羊人的伯艾吉那里.

10:13 and Jehu met the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. He asked, “Who are you?” They said, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah; we came down for the peace of the king’s children and the children of the queen.”
他遇见了犹大王亚哈谢的兄弟们. 他说: “你们是谁? ”他们说: “我们是亚哈谢的兄弟. 我们下来要向王的众子和太后的众子请安. ”

10:14 Then he said, “Seize them alive!” So they seized them alive but then slaughtered them at the cistern of Beth-Eked, forty-two men. He did not allow any of them to survive.
他说: “活捉他们! ”他的手下就活捉了他们, 在伯艾吉的坑边杀了他们; 一共是四十二个人, 没有留下一人.

10:15 Next he went from there and found Jehonadab the son of Recab to meet him. He greeted him and asked him, “Is your heart right with me as my heart is with you?” Then Jehonadab said, “Yes, it is. Give your hand!” And he gave his hand and took him up to him on the chariot.
他又从那里往前行, 看见利甲的儿子约拿达来迎接他. 耶户向他请安, 然后说: “你的心对我忠诚, 就像我的心对你的心一样吗? ”约拿达说: “是的. ”耶户说: “如果是的话, 伸出你的手来. ”他伸出他的手, 耶户就把他拉上他的战车.

10:16 Then he said, “Come with me! Look at my zeal for Yahweh!” So he let him ride in his chariot.
耶户说: “你和我一起去, 看看我对耶和华的热诚. ”于是用自己的战车载他同去.

10:17 Then he came to Samaria and killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria until he wiped them out according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken to Elijah.
他来到撒玛利亚, 就击杀亚哈家所有在撒玛利亚剩下的人, 把他们完全消灭, 正如耶和华对以利亚所说的话.

10:18 Then Jehu assembled all of the people and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will worship him greatly.
耶户集合众民, 对他们说: “从前亚哈信奉巴力还算是少, 耶户要信奉更多.

10:19 So then, summon to me all of the prophets of Baal and all of his servants and his priests; no man should fail to come, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who fails to come shall not live!” Now Jehu was acting with cunning in order to destroy the servants of Baal.
现在, 所有的巴力先知,所有信奉他的和他所有的祭司都要给我召来, 不要走漏一人; 因为我要向巴力献一个极大的祭, 缺席的必不得活. ”耶户用诡计这样行, 是要除灭所有信奉巴力的人.

10:20 Then Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
耶户又说: “要为巴力召开一个严肃会. ”于是众人宣告召开大会.

10:21 Jehu sent word through all of Israel, and all of the servants of Baal came; there did not remain a man who did not come. They came to the house of Baal so that the house of Baal was filled from wall to wall.
耶户派人走遍以色列各地, 所有信奉巴力的人都来了, 没有一个不来的. 他们都进了巴力庙, 以致巴力庙从这边到那边都塞满了人.

10:22 He said to the one who was over the wardrobe, “Bring out clothing for all of the servants of Baal.” So he brought the clothing out for them.
耶户对掌管衣橱的说: “把礼服拿出来, 给所有拜巴力的人穿. ”他就把礼服拿出来给他们穿上.

10:23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Recab came to the temple of Baal, and he said to the servants of Baal, “Search and see that there is none of the servants of Yahweh here with you; only those who serve Baal.”
耶户和利甲的儿子约拿达来到巴力的庙中. 他对信奉巴力的人说: “搜查看看, 这里不要有信奉耶和华的人和你们同在一起, 只可以有信奉巴力的人. ”

10:24 They came to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed for himself eighty men outside, and he said, “The man who lets anyone escape from the men who I am entrusting to you, he will pay with his life!”
他们进去献祭和献燔祭. 耶户布置了八十个人在外面, 说: “如果我带来交在你们手中的人, 有一个从他们中间逃脱了, 你们就要以命抵命. ”

10:25 It happened that when he finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the royal guard and to the officers, “Come and kill them; let no man go free!” So they put them to the sword, and the royal guard and the officers threw them out, then they went up to the citadel of the temple of Baal.
耶户献完了燔祭, 就对卫兵和军长说: “你们进去, 杀死他们, 一个也不让他们出来. ”卫兵和军长于是用刀击杀他们, 又把他们的尸体拋出去, 然后往巴力的城去了.

10:26 They brought out the stone pillars of the temple of Baal and burned them.
他们又把巴力庙内的神柱搬出去烧了.

10:27 So they broke down the stone pillars of Baal and destroyed the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine until this day.
他们毁坏了巴力的神柱, 又拆毁了巴力庙, 作为厕所, 直到今日.

10:28 So Jehu wiped out Baal from Israel.
这样, 耶户从以色列中消灭了巴力.

10:29 Only Jehu did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat by which he caused Israel to sin; namely, the calf-shaped idols of gold which were in Bethel and Dan.
只是耶户没有离弃尼八的儿子耶罗波安的罪, 就是他使以色列人陷于罪中的那些罪, 敬拜在伯特利和但的金牛犊.

10:30 Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well by doing right in my eyes and you have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart; therefore, sons of the fourth generation will sit for you on the throne of Israel.”
耶和华对耶户说: “因为你办好了我看为正的事, 照我的一切心意对付亚哈家, 你的子孙要坐在以色列的王位上, 直到第四代. ”

10:31 But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of Yahweh God of Israel with all his heart; he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam by which he caused Israel to sin.
可是耶户没有尽心遵行耶和华以色列神的律法, 离弃耶罗波安使以色列人陷于罪中的那些罪.

10:32 In those days, Yahweh began to reduce Israel, so Hazael defeated them in every territory of Israel,
在那些日子, 耶和华开始削弱以色列, 哈薛在以色列各处的边境攻击他们:

10:33 from the Jordan eastward: all of the land of Gilead, the Gadites, the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer which is on the Wadi Arnon and Gilead and Bashan.
从约旦河以东, 基列的全地, 迦得人,流本人和玛拿西人之地, 从靠近亚嫩河的亚罗珥起, 至基列和巴珊.

10:34 Now the remainder of the acts of Jehu and all that he did and all of his powerful deeds, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
耶户其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 以及他的一切英雄事迹, 不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

10:35 So Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria, and Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.
耶户和他的祖先同享安息, 葬在撒玛利亚, 他儿子约哈斯接续他作王.

10:36 Now the days which Jehu had reigned over Israel were twenty-eight years in Samaria.
耶户在撒玛利亚作王统治以色列共二十八年.

II Kings - Chapter 11

11:1 Now Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, so she prepared to destroy all of the offspring of the royal family.
亚哈谢的母亲亚他利雅看见自己的儿子死了, 就起来消灭王室所有的后裔.

11:2 But Jehosheba the daughter of King Joram and sister of Ahaziah took Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, and she stole him from among the sons of the king who were being put to death, putting him and his nurse in the inner bedroom. So they hid him from the presence of Athaliah, and he was not killed.
但约兰王的女儿, 亚哈谢的妹妹约示巴, 把亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从正要被杀的王子中偷了出来, 把他和他的乳母藏在卧室里面; 他们把他收藏起来, 躲避亚他利雅, 免得他被杀死.

11:3 He remained with her in the temple of Yahweh, hidden for six years while Athaliah was reigning over the land.
约阿施和他的乳母在耶和华的殿中躲藏了六年; 亚他利雅却作王统治那地.

11:4 But in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took the commanders of the hundreds of the Carites and the runners, and he brought them to himself to the temple of Yahweh. Then he made a covenant with them and made them swear in the house of Yahweh and showed them the son of the king.
在第七年, 耶何耶大派人把迦利人和卫兵的众百夫长带来, 领他们进入耶和华的殿中, 和他们立约, 使他们在耶和华的殿里起誓, 然后把王子带出来和他们见面.

11:5 He commanded them, saying, “This is the thing which you must do: one third of you who go off duty on the Sabbath, the keepers of the guard in the house of the king,
他又吩咐他们说: “你们要这样作: 你们在安息日值班的, 三分之一要守卫王宫;

11:6 and another third at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the runners, shall guard the post of the palace alternately.
三分之一要在苏珥门; 三分之一要在卫兵院的后门; 你们要轮班把守王宫.

11:7 Two of the units among you, all who go on duty on the Sabbath, guard the post of the temple of Yahweh for the king.
你们在安息日不用当值的两班人, 要为王的缘故守卫耶和华的殿.

11:8 You must surround the king all about, each with his weapon in his hand; whoever comes to the ranks must be killed. Be with the king wherever he goes.”
你们要在四周围护着王, 各人手中要拿着自己的武器. 擅自闯入班次的, 必被处死. 王出入的时候, 你们要紧随左右. ”

11:9 So the commanders of hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and each took his men who went off duty on the Sabbath and those who came on duty on the Sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest.
于是众百夫长照着耶何耶大祭司的一切吩咐去行. 他们各自率领人马, 无论在安息日值班或不用当值的, 都来到耶何耶大祭司那里.

11:10 Then the priest gave to the commanders of the hundreds spears and small round shields which were King David’s, which were in the temple of Yahweh.
耶何耶大就把藏在耶和华殿里, 属于大卫王的矛枪和盾牌交给众百夫长.

11:11 So the royal runners stood, each with his weapons in his hand, from the side of the temple to the south up to the side of the temple on the north, around the altar and around the temple, about the king all around.
各卫兵手持兵器, 从殿的右面到殿的左面, 面对祭坛和殿, 围绕着王侍立.

11:12 Then he brought out the son of the king, put the crown on him with the testimony, and they made him king, anointed him, clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
耶何耶大领王子出来, 把王冠戴在他的头上, 又把约书交给他. 他们就拥立他为王, 用膏膏他, 并且拍掌, 说: “愿王万岁! ”

11:13 When Athaliah heard the sound of the runners of the people, she came to the people at the temple of Yahweh.
亚他利雅听见卫兵和民众的声音, 就进到耶和华的殿,众民那里去.

11:14 She looked, and there was the king standing by the pillar according to the custom. The commanders and the trumpeters were by the king, and all of the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing on the trumpets. Athaliah tore her clothes and she called, “Treason, treason!”
她看见王子按着规例站在柱旁那里, 首领和号手在王的旁边, 当地所有的人民欢乐吹号. 亚他利雅于是撕裂衣服, 呼叫: “反了! 反了! ”

11:15 Then Jehoiada the priest commanded the commanders of the hundreds, the appointed of the army, and he said to them, “Bring her out to the house of the ranks! The one coming after her should kill her with the sword,” for the priest had said, “Let her not be killed in the temple of Yahweh.”
耶何耶大祭司吩咐众百夫长, 就是统领军兵的, 对他们说: “把她从各班军兵中赶出去, 跟随她的, 都要用刀杀死. ”因为祭司说: “不可在耶和华的殿内杀死她. ”

11:16 So they grabbed her as she went by the entranceway of the horses to the palace of the king, and she was killed there.
于是他们下手拿住她; 她回到王宫的马门的时候, 就在那里被人杀死.

11:17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that the people should be as a people for Yahweh, and also a covenant between the king and the people.
耶何耶大又使王和人民与耶和华立约, 好使他们作耶和华的人民; 又使王与人民立约.

11:18 Then all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down, and its altars and its images they broke completely into pieces. Mattan the priest of Baal they killed in front of the altars. Then the priest put guards over the house of Yahweh.
然后当地所有的人民都来到巴力庙, 把它拆毁, 把它的坛和像完全打碎, 又在祭坛前把巴力的祭司玛坦杀了. 耶何耶大祭司又设立官员管理耶和华的殿.

11:19 He took the commanders of the hundreds and the Carites and the runners and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the temple of Yahweh. And they marched by the way of the runner’s gate to the palace of the king, and he sat on the throne of the kings.
他又率领众百夫长,迦利人,卫兵和当地所有的人民, 护送王从耶和华的殿下来, 经卫兵的门进入王宫. 这样, 约阿施就坐上了王位.

11:20 All the people of the land rejoiced, and the city rested; for Athaliah had been killed with the sword in the palace of the king.
当地所有的人民都欢乐, 阖城平静; 至于亚他利雅, 他们在王宫用刀把她杀死了.

11:21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
约阿施作王的时候, 只有七岁.

II Kings - Chapter 12

12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king. He reigned in Jerusalem forty years, and the name of his mother was Zibiah from Beersheba.
耶户在位第七年, 约阿施登基, 在耶路撒冷作王四十年. 他母亲名叫西比亚, 是从别是巴来的.

12:2 Jehoash did right in the eyes of Yahweh all of his days, because Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
在耶何耶大祭司教导他的日子, 他就行耶和华看为正的事.

12:3 Only the high places were not removed; the people were still making sacrifices and offering incense on the high places.
只是邱坛没有废去, 人民仍在邱坛献祭焚香.

12:4 Jehoash said to the priests, “All of the money for the sacred things that is brought to the temple of Yahweh, the money taxed at its proper value for each person and all of the money which comes upon the heart of a man to bring to the temple of Yahweh,
约阿施对众祭司说: “所有分别为圣, 奉到耶和华殿里的银子, 或是各被数点之人的赎价, 或是各种的赎价, 或是各人随着心意, 奉到耶和华殿里的银子,

12:5 let the priests take for themselves, each from his treasurers, and let them repair the breach of the temple for every place where damage is found.”
各祭司可向自己熟悉的人收取. 他们要修理殿内毁坏的地方, 就是一切发现有毁坏的地方. ”

12:6 It happened in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash that the priests had not repaired the damage in the temple.
可是到了约阿施王在位二十三年的时候, 祭司还未修好圣殿毁坏的地方.

12:7 So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the priests, and he said to them, “Why are you not repairing the damage in the temple? Now, you shall not take money from your treasurers for the damage in the temple. You must provide it.”
于是约阿施王召了耶何耶大祭司和众祭司来, 说: “你们为什么不修理圣殿毁坏的地方呢? 现在不要向你们熟识的人收取银子, 却要把所收的交出来, 修理圣殿毁坏的地方. ”

12:8 So the priests agreed not to take money from the people and not to repair the damage to the temple.
众祭司答应不再从人民收取银子, 也不修理圣殿毁坏的地方.

12:9 Then Jehoiada the priest took a certain chest and bored a hole in its lid, and he put it beside the altar to the right as a man enters into the temple of Yahweh; then the priests who were keepers of the threshold would put there all of the money brought into the temple.
耶何耶大祭司搬来了一个箱子, 在它的顶上钻了一个孔, 把它放在祭坛旁边, 在圣殿入口的右边. 守门的祭司把奉到耶和华殿所有的银子都投进箱里.

12:10 It happened that when they saw a great deal of money in the chest, the secretary of the king and the high priest would come up, put the money in bags, then count the money found in the temple of Yahweh.
他们看见箱内的银子多起来的时候, 就叫王的书记和大祭司上来, 他们就数点在耶和华殿里所得的银子, 装在袋中.

12:11 They placed the money, which was weighed out, into the hands of the workers who were appointed over the temple of Yahweh, and they paid it to the skilled craftsmen of wood and to the builders working on the temple of Yahweh
他们把所称的银子交在耶和华殿中管理工匠的监工手里, 然后他们支付给在耶和华殿作工的木匠和建筑工人,

12:12 and to the masons and the stonecutters, to buy timber and stones for hewing, in order to repair the damage of the temple of Yahweh, and for all who went to the temple to repair it.
以及泥匠和石匠; 又用来购买木材和凿好的石头, 来修理耶和华殿里毁坏的地方, 以及支付一切修理耶和华殿的开支.

12:13 Only, for the temple of Yahweh, there were not any silver basins, snuffers, bowls for drinking wine, trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver from the money being brought to the temple of Yahweh.
但耶和华殿里的银杯,烛剪,碗,号或任何金银器皿, 都没有用奉到耶和华殿里的银子来做.

12:14 For they gave that to all the workers, and they repaired the temple of Yahweh with it.
他们只把银子交给工匠, 用来修理耶和华殿里毁坏的地方.

12:15 They did not have to settle accounts with the men into whose hands they placed the money to give to the workers, for they were dealing honestly.
他们没有要求经手把银子转付工匠的人交代帐目, 因为他们办事诚实.

12:16 The money of the guilt offering and the money of the sin offering was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, but were each for the priests.
但是赎愆祭和赎罪祭的银子, 他们没有奉入耶和华的殿, 这些银子是属于祭司的.

12:17 At that time, Hazael king of Aram went up and fought against Gath and captured it; then Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.
那时亚兰王哈薛上来, 攻打迦特, 把它夺取了. 他又决心上来攻打耶路撒冷.

12:18 Jehoash king of Judah took all of the holy objects that Jehoshaphat, Joram, and Ahaziah his ancestors, the kings of Judah, had devoted, and all his holy objects and all of the gold found in the treasuries of the temple of Yahweh, and in the palace of the king, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram, so that he went up from Jerusalem.
犹大王约阿施于是拿出所有的圣物, 就是他的祖先犹大王约沙法,约兰和亚哈谢所献的圣物, 以及他自己所献的圣物, 还有耶和华殿和王宫宝库里所有的金子, 送给亚兰王哈薛, 哈薛就离开耶路撒冷去了.

12:19 Now the remainder of the acts of Joash and all that he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约阿施其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

12:20 Then his servants arose and conspired and killed Joash in the house of the Millo as he was going down toward Silla.
约阿施的臣仆起来背叛, 他们在米罗宫内, 他下到悉拉的时候, 击杀了他.

12:21 Jozabad the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him and killed him, so they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David. Then Amaziah his son became king in his place.
他的臣仆示米押的儿子约撒甲和朔默的儿子约萨拔击杀他, 他就死了. 人把他埋葬在大卫城, 和他的祖先在一起. 他的儿子亚玛谢接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 13

13:1 In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria, reigning seventeen years.
犹大王亚哈谢的儿子约阿施在位第二十三年, 耶户的儿子约哈斯在撒玛利亚登基, 统治以色列共十七年.

13:2 But he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and he went after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat with which he had caused Israel to sin, and he did not depart from it.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 随从尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷于罪中的那些罪, 不肯转离.

13:3 So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he gave them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram and into the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael repeatedly.
于是耶和华的怒气向以色列发作, 常把他们交在亚兰王哈薛的手中和哈薛的儿子便．哈达的手中.

13:4 Then Jehoahaz entreated Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him, for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Aram oppressed them.
约哈斯恳求耶和华, 耶和华垂听他的祷告, 因为看见了以色列所受的压迫, 就是亚兰王对他们的压迫.

13:5 Yahweh gave Israel a savior, and they went out from under the hand of Aram. So the Israelites lived in their tents as formerly.
耶和华就赐给以色列一位拯救者, 他救他们脱离亚兰王的手, 于是以色列人可以在自己的家安居, 好像以前一样.

13:6 Yet they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam which he caused Israel to sin, but walked in it; and also, the pole of the Asherah worship was still standing in Samaria.
可是他们没有离开耶罗波安家使以色列人陷于罪中的那些罪, 仍然行在罪中; 亚舍拉依然立在撒玛利亚.

13:7 For there was no army left over for Jehoahaz except for fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry, for the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them as the dust at threshing.
于是耶和华没有给约哈斯留下余民, 只剩下骑兵五十人, 战车十辆和步兵一万人, 因为亚兰王毁灭他们, 践踏他们好像禾场上的尘土.

13:8 Now the remainder of the acts of Jehoahaz and all that he did and his powerful deeds, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
约哈斯其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 以及他的英勇事迹, 不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

13:9 Then Jehoahaz slept with his ancestors and they buried him in Samaria, and Jehoash his son became king in his place.
约哈斯和他的祖先一同长眠, 葬在撒玛利亚. 他的儿子约阿施接续他作王.

犹大王约阿施在位第三十七年, 约哈斯的儿子约阿施在撒玛利亚登基, 统治以色列共十六年.

13:11 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh; he did not depart from all of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat which he caused Israel to sin, but walked in it.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 不转离尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷于罪中的一切罪, 仍然行在罪中.

13:12 The remainder of the acts of Joash and all that he did, his powerful deeds, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
约阿施其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 以及他与犹大王亚玛谢作战时的英勇事迹, 不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

13:13 Then Joash slept with his ancestors, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
约阿施和他的祖先一同长眠后, 耶罗波安坐上了他的王位. 他把约阿施葬在撒玛利亚, 和以色列诸王在一起.

13:14 Elisha became ill with the illness with which he would die, so Jehoash king of Israel went down to him and wept before him, and said, “My father, my father; the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!”
以利沙患了必死的病. 以色列王约阿施下到他那里, 伏在他的脸上哭, 说: “父啊, 父啊! 以色列的战车和骑兵啊! ”

13:15 Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows,” so he took him a bow and arrows.
以利沙对他说: “拿弓箭来! ”他就把弓箭拿给他.

13:16 He said to the king of Israel, “Lay your hand on the bow,” so he lay hold of it; then Elisha put his hand on the hands of the king.
他对以色列王说: “把你的手放在弓上吧! ”他就把手放在弓上, 以利沙又把自己的手放在王的手上.

13:17 Then he said, “Open the window to the east,” so he opened it. Elisha said, “Shoot,” and he shot. Then he said, “An arrow of victory for Yahweh, and an arrow of victory against Aram; you shall fight the Arameans in Aphek until finishing them.”
他说: “打开向东的窗户. ”他就打开了. 以利沙说: “放箭吧! ”他就放箭. 以利沙说: “这是耶和华胜利的箭, 耶和华得胜亚兰人的箭. 你要在亚弗击杀亚兰人, 直到完全灭绝. ”

13:18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” so he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground,” so he struck three times and stopped.
他又说: “拿箭来! ”他就拿了来. 他对以色列王说: “你击打地吧! ”他就击打地, 打了三次就站起来了.

13:19 Yet the man of God became angry against him and said, “For striking five or six times, then you would have defeated Aram until finishing them, but now you will defeat Aram only three times.”
神人就对他发怒, 说: “你应该击打五次或者六次, 那样就能打败亚兰人, 直到完全消灭他们. 现在, 你只可以打败亚兰人三次了. ”

13:20 Elisha died and they buried him. Now the raiding parties of Moab came in the spring.
以利沙死了, 也埋葬了. 摩押人常在每年春天入侵以色列地.

13:21 And it happened that they were burying a man; suddenly they saw the marauding band, so they threw the man in the grave of Elisha. As he went in, the man touched the bones of Elisha, and became alive and got up on his feet!
有人正在埋葬死人的时候, 看见一群来侵略的人, 他们就把死尸丢在以利沙的坟上, 随即走了. 死尸碰着以利沙的骨头就复活了, 双脚站了起来.

13:22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
约哈斯在位的日子, 亚兰王哈薛一直都欺压以色列.

13:23 But Yahweh had mercy on them and showed compassion to them and turned to them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was not willing to destroy them nor cast them from his presence up to now.
但耶和华仍然施恩给他们, 怜悯他们, 眷顾他们, 这是因为他与亚伯拉罕,以撒和雅各所立的约, 不愿意毁灭他们, 把他们从自己的面前丢弃, 直到今日.

亚兰王哈薛死了, 他的儿子便．哈达接续他作王.

但他们的儿子没有处死, 这是按照摩西律法书上所写, 是耶和华的吩咐: “不可因儿子的罪处死父亲, 也不可因父亲的罪处死儿子; 各人要因自己的罪而死. ”

那时, 亚玛谢派使者去见耶户的孙子,约哈斯的儿子以色列王约阿施说: “来, 我们在战场相见吧! ”

14:9 So Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah, saying, “The thornbush which is in Lebanon sent to the cedar which is in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife,’ but an animal of the field which is in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thornbush.
以色列王约阿施派人去见犹大王亚玛谢说: “黎巴嫩的蒺藜派人去见黎巴嫩的香柏树说: ‘请你把你的女儿给我的儿子作妻子吧! ’后来有黎巴嫩的野兽经过, 就把蒺藜踩倒了.

14:10 You have indeed defeated Edom and your heart is lifted up; enjoy the honor and stay home. Why should you provoke trouble so that you fall and Judah with you?”
不错, 你打败了以东人, 你的心就高傲. 你尽管自己夸耀, 安坐家中就是了. 为什么要惹祸, 使你覆亡, 也使犹大跟你一起覆亡呢? ”

14:11 But Amaziah would not listen, so Jehoash king of Israel went up and they met face-to-face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-Shemesh which belongs to Judah.
但是亚玛谢不听他的话. 于是以色列王约阿施上来, 和犹大王亚玛谢在属犹大的伯．示麦相见.

又掠去耶和华殿里和王宫的宝库里所有的金子,银子和一切器皿, 还有人质, 就回撒玛利亚去了.

约阿施其余的事迹和他的英勇事迹, 就是与犹大王亚玛谢作战的事, 不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗?

他行耶和华看为恶的事, 不转离尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷于罪中的一切罪.

他收复以色列的边境, 从哈马口直到亚拉巴海, 正如耶和华以色列的神的话, 就是借着他的仆人迦特希弗人亚米太的儿子约拿先知所说的;

14:26 For Yahweh saw that the misery of Israel was very bitter, whether bond or free, but there was no helper for Israel.
因为耶和华看见以色列十分艰苦, 无论是自由的或为奴的都没有了, 也没有帮助以色列的.

II Kings - Chapter 16

16:1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
利玛利的儿子比加在位第十七年, 犹大王约坦的儿子亚哈斯登基作王.

16:2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do right in the eyes of Yahweh his God as David his ancestor.
亚哈斯登基的时候是二十岁, 他在耶路撒冷作王十六年. 但是他不像他祖宗大卫行耶和华他的神看为正的事,

16:3 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel; he even let his son pass through the fire according to the detestable things of the nations which Yahweh drove out from before the Israelites.
反倒跟随以色列诸王的道路, 甚至焚烧他的儿子为祭, 好像耶和华在以色列人面前驱逐的外族人所行可憎恶的事,

16:4 He sacrificed and offered incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
并且在邱坛上, 在山冈上和所有青翠的树下献祭和焚香.

16:5 Then Rezin the king of Aram went up with Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel against Jerusalem for battle, and they besieged Ahaz but were not able to defeat him.
那时, 亚兰王利汛与以色列王利玛利的儿子比加上来攻打耶路撒冷. 他们把亚哈斯围困起来, 却不能战胜他.

16:6 At that time, Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram and drove out the Judeans from Elath. The Arameans came to Elath and have lived there until this day.
当时, 亚兰王利汛收复以拉他归与亚兰. 他把犹大人逐出以拉他, 亚兰人来到以拉他住在那里, 直到今日.

16:7 Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel who are rising up against me.”
于是亚哈斯差派使者去见亚述王提革拉．毗列色, 说: “我是你的臣仆, 你的儿子, 求你上来, 救我脱离那起来攻击我的亚兰王和以色列王的手. ”

16:8 Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the house of Yahweh and in the treasury rooms of the palace of the king, and he sent a gift to the king of Assyria.
亚哈斯拿耶和华殿里和王宫宝库内的金子和银子, 送给亚述王作礼物.

16:9 So the king of Assyria listened to him and he went up to Damascus and captured it and deported them to Kir. He also killed Rezin.
于是亚述王答应了他. 亚述王上去攻打大马士革, 把城攻取, 把居民掳到吉珥, 又把利汛杀死了.

16:10 So King Ahaz went to meet Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria in Damascus, and he saw the altar which was in Damascus, so King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest the builder’s plan of the altar and the exact model of how it had been made.
亚哈斯王到大马士革会见亚述王提革拉．毗列色, 看见在大马士革的祭坛. 亚哈斯王就派人把祭坛的图样,结构和详尽的做法送到乌利亚祭司那里.

16:11 So Uriah the priest built the altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus; thus Uriah the priest did before King Ahaz came from Damascus.
于是乌利亚祭司按着亚哈斯王从大马士革送回来的一切指示建造祭坛. 在亚哈斯王从大马士革回来以前, 乌利亚祭司就照样做了.

16:12 When the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar, so he went near to the altar and went up on it.
王从大马士革回来, 看见了那祭坛, 于是王走到祭坛旁边, 登上台阶,

16:13 Then he offered his burnt offerings and his grain offerings, he poured his libations and dashed the blood of his fellowship offerings against the altar.
烧他的燔祭和素祭, 又浇上他的奠祭, 并且把他的平安祭牲的血洒在祭坛上.

16:14 Now the bronze altar which was before Yahweh, he brought over from the front of the temple, from between his altar and the temple of Yahweh, and he placed it at the side of his altar to the north.
至于耶和华面前的铜祭坛, 他把它从殿前, 从新坛与耶和华殿中间移至新坛的北边.

16:15 Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering and the grain offering of the evening, the burnt offering of the king and his grain offering, the burnt offering of all of the people of the land, their offerings, their libations, and all of the blood of the burnt offerings, the blood of the sacrifices you must dash on it. But the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.”
亚哈斯王吩咐乌利亚祭司说: “要在这大祭坛上焚烧早晨的燔祭,黄昏的素祭,王的燔祭牲和素祭,所有国民的燔祭和素祭; 也要在坛上浇上他们的奠祭, 以及所有燔祭牲和平安祭牲的血. 至于铜祭坛, 我要用来求问神. ”

16:16 So Uriah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
乌利亚祭司就照着亚哈斯王一切所吩咐的去行.

16:17 Then King Ahaz cut off the side panels of the water carts and removed from upon them the basin, and the sea he took down from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
亚哈斯又砍掉盆座的边缘, 把洗濯盆拿下来, 又把铜海从驮着铜海的铜牛上取下来, 放在铺了石的地上.

16:18 The covering for the Sabbath which they had built in the palace and in the entrance of the king to the outside, he removed from the temple of Yahweh because of the presence of the king of Assyria.
又因亚述王的缘故, 他把耶和华殿里为安息日而建造的廊子, 和王从外边进殿的廊子, 从耶和华的殿内拆除.

16:19 Now the remainder of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
亚哈斯所行其余的事迹, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

16:20 So Ahaz slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
亚哈斯和他的祖先一同长眠, 葬在大卫城和他的祖先在一起. 他的儿子希西家接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 17

17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz the king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, reigning nine years.
犹大王亚哈斯在位第十二年, 以拉的儿子何细亚在撒玛利亚登基, 统治以色列九年.

17:2 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, only not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 只是不像他以前的以色列诸王.

17:3 Shalmaneser the king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid tribute to him.
亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击他, 他就臣服于他, 并且向他进贡.

17:4 But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and he did not offer tribute to the king of Assyria as he had year after year; so the king of Assyria arrested him, and confined him in a house of imprisonment.
后来, 亚述王发觉何细亚阴谋反叛: 他曾派使者去见埃及王梭, 并且不再向亚述王献上贡物, 像过去每年一样. 亚述王就拿住他, 把他囚在牢里.

17:5 So the king of Assyria went up in all the land, then he went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years.
亚述王上来攻击以色列全国各地, 并且到撒玛利亚来, 围城三年.

17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported Israel to Assyria. He placed them in Halah, in Habor, in the river regions of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
何细亚在位第九年, 亚述王占领了撒玛利亚, 把以色列人掳到亚述去, 徙置他们在哈腊, 在哈博河和歌散河一带, 以及在玛代人的各城.

17:7 Now this happened because the Israelites had sinned against Yahweh their God when he brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt and they feared other gods.
这是因为以色列人得罪了那曾带领他们从埃及王法老的手下离开埃及的耶和华他们的神, 去敬畏别的神.

17:8 They walked in the statutes of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out from before the Israelites, which the kings of Israel had introduced.
他们随从耶和华从以色列人面前驱逐的外族人的风俗, 以及以色列诸王奉行的风俗.

17:9 The Israelites secretly did things which were not right, against Yahweh their God; they built high places for themselves in all their towns, from the watchtower up to the fortified city.
以色列人也说了亵渎的话, 顶撞耶和华他们的神, 并且在他们所有的城市, 从哨站到设防城, 为他们自己建筑邱坛.

17:10 They set up for themselves stone pillars and poles of Asherah worship on every high hill and under every green tree.
又在各高山顶上和每一棵青翠的树下竖立神柱和亚舍拉.

17:11 They burned incense there on all the high places, like the nations which Yahweh deported before them, and they did evil things to provoke Yahweh.
他们在各邱坛上献祭和焚香, 好像耶和华从他们的面前掳去的外族人一样, 又行恶事, 使耶和华发怒.

17:12 They served idols which Yahweh had said to them, “You shall not do this thing!”
他们又服事雕刻的偶像, 耶和华曾警告他们不可以行这事.

17:13 Yahweh warned Israel and Judah by the hand of his every prophet, with every seer saying, “Turn from all of your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, according to all the law which I commanded your ancestors, which I sent to you by the hand of my servants the prophets.”
耶和华曾借着他的众先知和先见警告以色列人和犹大人说: “从你们的恶道上转回吧! 谨守我的吩咐和我的律例, 就是我曾吩咐你们的祖先, 和借着我的仆人众先知传递给你们的一切律法. ”

17:14 But they did not listen and they stiffened their necks, like the necks of their ancestors who did not believe in Yahweh their God.
可是他们不听从, 反而硬着自己的颈项, 好像他们的祖先, 不信服耶和华他们的神;

17:15 They rejected his statutes, his covenant which he made with their ancestors, and his warnings which he gave to them; and they went after the idols, became vain, and went after all the nations which were all around them, which Yahweh had commanded them not to do as they did.
厌弃他的律例和他与他们的祖先订立的约, 以及他对他们的警戒; 却信从虚无的神, 自己成为虚妄, 跟从他们周围的外族人, 耶和华曾吩咐他们不可跟从他们的行为.

17:16 They abandoned all the commands of Yahweh their God and made for themselves two molten calf-shaped idols; they made a pole of Asherah worship and bowed down to the army of the heavens and served Baal.
他们丢弃耶和华他们神的一切吩咐, 为自己做了两个牛犊的铸像, 又做亚舍拉, 并且敬拜天上的万象和服事巴力;

17:17 They made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, they practiced divination and read omens, and they sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of Yahweh to provoke him.
他们又把儿女用火烧为祭, 并且占卜, 行法术, 出卖自己去行耶和华看为恶的事, 使他发怒.

17:18 So Yahweh was very angry with Israel and he removed them from his presence; none remained except the tribe of Judah alone.
于是耶和华向以色列人大大发怒, 把他们从自己面前赶走, 只剩下犹大一个支派.

17:19 Even Judah did not keep the commands of Yahweh their God, and they walked in the customs of Israel which they introduced,
连犹大人也不持守耶和华他们的神的吩咐, 随从以色列人所行的习俗.

17:20 so Yahweh rejected all the offspring of Israel and punished them, and he gave them into the hand of the plunderers until he banished them from his presence.
耶和华就厌弃以色列人的后裔, 使他们受苦, 把他们交在抢掠他们的人的手中, 直到把他们从自己的面前完全丢弃.

17:21 For he had torn Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king, but Jeroboam detached Israel from following Yahweh, and he made them sin a great sin.
因为他自从使以色列从大卫家分裂出来后, 他们就立了尼八的儿子耶罗波安作王, 耶罗波安却引诱以色列人不去跟从耶和华, 又使他们犯了大罪.

17:22 The Israelites walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he committed, and they did not depart from it,
以色列人就随从耶罗波安所犯的一切罪恶, 总不转离;

17:23 until Yahweh removed Israel from his presence as he had foretold by the hand of all his servants, the prophets. And so he deported Israel from upon his land to Assyria until this day.
以致最后耶和华把以色列人从自己的面前赶走, 就像他借着自己的仆人众先知所说的. 于是以色列人被掳离开自己的国土, 往亚述去, 直到今日.

17:24 The king of Assyria brought from Babylonia, from Cush, from Arva, from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and he settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the Israelites, so they took possession of Samaria and lived in her cities.
亚述王从巴比伦,古他,亚瓦,哈马和西法瓦音带人来, 安置在撒玛利亚的城市, 代替以色列人. 他们就得了撒玛利亚作产业, 住在它的城市中.

17:25 It happened that when they began living there, they did not fear Yahweh, so Yahweh sent lions among them, and they were killing them.
他们开始在那里居住的时候, 并不敬畏耶和华, 所以耶和华派狮子到他们中间, 咬死他们好些人.

17:26 So they said to the king of Assyria, “The nations whom you deported and settled in the cities of Samaria do not know the customs of the God of the land, so he sent lions among them, and now they are killing them because they do not know the customs of the God of the land.”
有人告诉亚述王说: “你所掳去, 安置在撒玛利亚各城市的众民族不知道当地的神的规矩, 所以他派狮子到他们中间. 看哪, 狮子咬死他们, 因为他们不知道当地的神的规矩. ”

17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Release one of the priests whom you deported from there, and let him go and settle there. Let him teach them the customs of the God of the land.”
于是亚述王下令: “我从那里掳来的祭司中, 要叫一个回到那里去. 他要去住在那里, 教导他们当地的神的规矩. ”

17:28 So one of the priests went, whom they had deported from Samaria, and he settled in Bethel and was teaching them how they should fear Yahweh.
于是从撒玛利亚被掳来的祭司中, 有一个回去, 住在伯特利, 教导他们怎样敬畏耶和华.

17:29 Yet every nation was making their gods, and they put them in the shrine of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they were living.
但各族的人仍然制造自己的神像, 安放在撒玛利亚人所造各邱坛的庙中; 各族人在他们所居住的城市都这样作.

17:30 The men of Babylonia made Succoth Benoth; the men of Cush made Nergal; the men of Hamath made Ashima.
巴比伦人做了疏割．比讷像, 古他人做了匿甲像, 哈马人做了亚示玛像,

17:31 The Arvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; the Sepharvites were burning their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
亚瓦人做了匿哈和他珥他像, 西法瓦音人用火焚烧自己的儿女, 献给西法瓦音的神亚得米勒和亚拿米勒.

17:32 Those who were fearing Yahweh made priests of the high places from among themselves, and they were sacrificing for them in the shrines of the high places.
他们也惧怕耶和华, 所以从他们中间选立邱坛的祭司, 替他们在邱坛的庙里献祭.

17:33 Yahweh they were fearing, but their gods they were serving, according to the customs of the nations from which they were deported.
他们既惧怕耶和华, 又服事他们的神; 从哪个民族掳来的, 就按照哪个民族的习俗服事他们的神.

17:34 Until this day they are doing according to their former customs; none of them are fearing Yahweh, and none of them are doing according to their statutes, to their decisions, to the law, or to the commands that Yahweh commanded the descendants of Jacob to which he had given the name Israel.
直到今日, 他们仍是按照他们初时的习俗去行; 他们不敬畏耶和华, 行事不按他们的规例和典章, 也不按耶和华曾吩咐雅各的子孙的律法和诫命; 后来, 耶和华给雅各起名为以色列.

17:35 Yahweh had made a covenant with them and commanded them, “You shall not fear other gods, nor shall you bow down to them, nor shall you serve them, nor shall you sacrifice to them.
耶和华曾经和他们立约, 又吩咐他们说: “你们不可崇敬别的神, 不可跪拜他们, 不可服事他们, 也不可向他们献祭.

17:36 Rather, Yahweh, who brought you out from the land of Egypt with great strength and with an outstretched arm—him you shall fear, and to him you shall bow down, and to him you shall sacrifice.
但那曾用大能和伸出的膀臂把你们从埃及地领出来的耶和华, 你们应当敬畏他, 跪拜他和向他献祭.

17:37 The statutes, the decisions, the law, and the commands that he wrote to you, you shall observe to do always, and you shall not fear other gods.
他写给你们的律例,典章,律法和诫命, 你们要永远谨守遵行, 不要崇敬别的神.

17:38 The covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget, and you shall not fear other gods.
他和你们所立的约你们不可忘记, 不要崇敬别的神.

17:39 But Yahweh your God you shall fear, and he will deliver you from the hand of all of your enemies.”
但要敬畏耶和华你们的神, 他必救你们脱离所有仇敌的手. ”

17:40 They did not listen but kept on doing according to their former customs.
可是他们没有听从, 仍然照着他们起初的习俗去行.

17:41 So these nations were fearing Yahweh, but they were serving their idols, as were their children and their children’s children; as their ancestors did, they are doing until this day.
这样, 这些民族一方面敬畏耶和华; 另一方面又继续服事他们的偶像. 他们的子子孙孙继续照着他们的祖先所行的去行, 直到今日.

II Kings - Chapter 18

18:1 It happened in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah became king.
以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚在位第三年, 犹大王亚哈斯的儿子希西家登基作王.

18:2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
他登基的时候是二十五岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王二十九年, 他母亲名叫亚比, 是撒迦利雅的女儿.

18:3 He did right in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that David his ancestor had done.
他行耶和华看为正的事, 效法他的祖宗大卫一切所行的.

18:4 He removed the high places, and he smashed the stone pillars; he cut down the poles of Asherah worship and demolished the bronze serpent which Moses had made, for up to those days the Israelites were offering incense to it and called it Nehushtan.
他废去邱坛, 打碎神柱, 砍掉亚舍拉; 他又打碎摩西所做的铜蛇, 因为直到那些日子, 以色列人仍然向它焚香, 称它作尼忽士但.

18:5 He trusted in Yahweh the God of Israel; there was no one like him, before or after, among all the kings of Judah.
他倚靠耶和华以色列的神, 在他以前或以后的犹大列王中, 没有像他的.

18:6 He held on to Yahweh; he did not depart from following him, and he kept his commands that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
他忠于耶和华, 没有转离不跟从他, 谨守他的吩咐, 就是他曾吩咐摩西的.

18:7 Yahweh was with him; everywhere he went, he succeeded. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
耶和华和他同在, 他所有的征战都得到成功. 他背叛亚述王, 不再臣服他.

18:8 He attacked the Philistines up to Gaza and its territory from the watchtower up to the fortified city.
他攻击非利士人, 直到迦萨和它的四境, 从哨站以至设防城.

18:9 It happened in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, that is, the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came against Samaria and laid siege against her.
希西家王在位第四年, 就是以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚在位第七年, 亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击撒玛利亚, 把城围困;

18:10 At the end of three years, he captured it in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel; Samaria was captured.
过了三年, 他们就攻取了撒玛利亚. 希西家在位第六年, 就是以色列王何细亚在位第九年, 撒玛利亚被攻取了.

18:11 Then the king of Assyria deported Israel to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Habor, in the river regions of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
亚述王把以色列人掳到亚述去, 把他们徙置在哈腊,哈博河和歌散河, 以及玛代人的城里;

18:12 because they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh their God, and they transgressed his covenant; all that he had commanded Moses, the servant of Yahweh, they did not listen to nor did they obey.
这是因为他们不听从耶和华他们神的话, 违背他的约; 耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐的一切, 他们都不听从, 不遵行.

18:13 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all of the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
希西家王在位第十四年, 亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大所有的设防城, 占据了它们.

18:14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong. Withdraw from me. What you impose on me I will bear.” So the king of Assyria imposed on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
犹大王希西家派人往拉吉去见亚述王说: “我有罪了, 请你离我回去吧, 你们加于我的处分, 我必承当. ”于是亚述王罚了犹大王希西家九百公斤银子和一百八十公斤金子.

18:15 Then Hezekiah gave all of the silver found in the temple of Yahweh and in the storerooms of the house of the king.
希西家就把耶和华殿和王宫宝库内所有的金子都给了他.

18:16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of Yahweh and the doorposts which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and he gave them to the king of Assyria.
那时, 犹大王希西家把耶和华殿门上和自己包在门柱上的金子, 都刮了下来, 给了亚述王.

18:17 So the king of Assyria sent the commander in chief, the chief eunuch, and the chief advisor from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem with a heavy army. They went up and came to Jerusalem, then they went up and came and stood at the aqueduct of the upper pool which is on the main road of the washer’s field.
亚述王从拉吉派他珥探,拉伯撒利和拉伯沙基率领大军, 往耶路撒冷, 到希西家王那里去. 他们就上来, 去到耶路撒冷. 他们到达以后, 就站在上池的引水道旁, 在漂布地的大路上.

18:18 Then they called to the king, so Eliakim the son of Hilkiah who was over the palace, Shebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to them.
他们呼叫王; 希勒家的儿子王宫总管以利亚敬,书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚就出来见他们.

18:19 Then the chief advisor said to them, “Please say to Hezekiah: ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What is this confidence that you trust?
拉伯沙基对他们说: “你们要对希西家说: ‘亚述大王这样说: 你所倚赖的这种防御算是什么呢?

18:20 You think only a word of lips, ‘I have advice and power for the war.’ Now, on whom do you trust that you have rebelled against me?
你说有作战的智谋和能力, 只是嘴上空言, 现在你倚赖谁才背叛我呢?

18:21 Now, look! You rely on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, which when a man leans on it, it goes into his hand and pierces it! So is Pharaoh the king of Egypt for all who are trusting on him!
你看, 你倚赖埃及这压伤的芦苇做的手杖, 人若是倚靠它, 它必刺入他的手, 把手刺伤, 埃及王法老对所有倚赖他的人正是这样.

18:22 But if you say to me, ‘On Yahweh our God we trust,’ is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed, and he had said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘In the presence of this altar you shall bow down only in Jerusalem?’
如果你们对我说: 我们倚靠的是耶和华我们的神, 希西家不是曾把他的邱坛和祭坛废去, 又对犹大人和耶路撒冷人说: 你们要在耶路撒冷这祭坛前敬拜吗?

18:23 So then, please make a wager with my lord, with the king of Assyria, and I will give to you a thousand horses if you are able on your part to put riders on them.
现在, 你可以和我主亚述王打赌, 我给你二千匹战马, 看你能否派出骑兵来骑它们?

18:24 How can you repulse a single captain among the least of the servants of my master? Yet you rely for yourself on Egypt for chariots and horsemen!
否则, 你怎能使我主最小的一位臣仆转脸逃跑呢? 你竟然倚赖埃及供应战车和战马吗?

18:25 Have I now come up against this place without Yahweh to destroy it? Yahweh has said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it!’ ” ’ ”
现在, 我上来攻击这地方, 要毁灭它, 不是有耶和华的意思吗? 耶和华曾对我说: 上去攻击那地, 把它毁灭. ’”

18:26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah and Shebna and Joah said to the chief commander, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we are understanding, but you must not speak Judean with us in the ears of the people who are on the wall.”
希勒家的儿子以利亚敬,舍伯那和约亚对拉伯沙基说: “请用亚兰语和你的仆人们说话, 因为我们听得懂; 不要用犹大语和我们说话, 免得传入在城墙上的人民的耳中. ”

18:27 The chief commander said to them, “Is it solely to your master and to you my master has sent me to speak these words? Is it not for the men who sit on the wall to eat their feces and to drink their urine with you?”
拉伯沙基对他们说: “我主派我来, 只是对你的主和你说这些话吗? 不也是对坐在城墙上, 和你们在一起吃自己的粪,喝自己的尿的人民说的吗? ”

18:28 Then the chief commander stood and called with a great voice in Judean, and he spoke and said, “Hear the word of the king, the great king of Assyria!
于是拉伯沙基站着, 用犹大语大声喊着, 说: “你们要听亚述大王的话.

18:29 Thus says the king, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to rescue you from my hand.
王这样说: ‘不要给希西家欺骗了你们, 因为他不能从我的手中解救你们;

18:30 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Certainly Yahweh will rescue us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria!” ’
也不要让希西家欺骗你们去信赖耶和华说: 耶和华一定会解救我们, 这城必不会交在亚述王的手中.

18:31 Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria, ‘Make with me a treaty of peace and come out to me that each may eat from his vine and each from his fig tree, and each may drink water from his cistern!
不要听从希西家, 因为亚述王这样说: 你们要与我和好, 出来向我投降, 各人就可以吃自己的葡萄树和无花果树的果子, 喝自己水池里的水.

18:32 Until I come and take you to a land like your land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees, olive oil, and honey, that you may live and not die! You must not listen to Hezekiah, for he has misled you by saying, “Yahweh will deliver us!”
直到我来带你们到一个像你们国家的地方, 那地方有五谷新酒, 粮食和葡萄园, 橄榄树和蜂蜜, 你们必可以活着, 不会死亡. 不要听从希西家, 因为他误导你们说: 耶和华必解救我们.

18:33 Did the gods of each of the nations ever rescue the land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
列国的神真能解救他们的国土脱离亚述王的手吗?

18:34 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? For did they rescue Samaria from my hand?
哈马和亚珥拔的神在哪里呢? 西法瓦音,希拿和以瓦的神在哪里呢? 他们可以解救撒玛利亚脱离我的手吗?

18:35 Who among all of the gods of the countries have rescued their countries from my hand that Yahweh should rescue Jerusalem from my hand?’ ”
这些国家所有的神, 有哪一个曾解救他自己的国家脱离我的手呢? 难道耶和华能解救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗? ’”

18:36 The people were silent, and they did not answer him a word, for the command of that king was saying, “You shall not answer him.”
众民都不出声, 一句话也不回答他, 因为王吩咐他们: “不要回答他. ”

18:37 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah who was over the palace, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with torn clothes, and they told him the words of the chief commander.
当时王宫总管希勒家的儿子以利亚敬,书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚来到希西家那里, 他们的衣服都撕裂了, 他们把拉伯沙基的话都告诉了他.

II Kings - Chapter 19

19:1 It happened that when King Hezekiah heard, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went to the temple of Yahweh.
希西家王听见了, 就把自己的衣服撕裂, 披上麻布, 来到耶和华的殿.

19:2 He sent Eliakim who was over the palace, Shebna the secretary, the elders, and the priests, all clothed in sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
王又派王宫总管以利亚敬,书记舍伯那和祭司中的长老披上麻布, 到亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知那里.

19:3 They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘A day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace is this day, for the children are about to be born, but there is no strength to bear them.
他们对他说: “希西家这样说: ‘今天是痛苦,责罚和侮辱的日子, 好像婴儿的产期到了, 却没有力量生产.

19:4 Perhaps Yahweh your God will hear all of the words of the chief commander whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to insult the living God, and he will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remainder who are left.’ ”
或者耶和华你的神听到拉伯沙基所说的话(他就是他的主亚述王派来辱骂永活的神的人), 就因着耶和华你的神所听见的话责罚他. 所以请为这里余剩的人献上祷告. ’”

19:5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
希西家王的臣仆就来到以赛亚那里.

19:6 and Isaiah said to them, “Thus you must say to your master, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You must not be afraid because the face of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled me.
以赛亚对他们说: “你们要这样告诉你们的主人: ‘耶和华这样说: 不要因你所听见亚述王的随从亵渎我的话而惊怕.

19:7 Look, I am putting in him a spirit. He will hear a rumor and return to his land. Then I will cause him to fall by the sword in his land.” ’ ”
看哪, 我要使他的心惊颤(“使他的心惊颤”原文作“放一个灵在他里面”), 他将听见消息, 就退回自己的地方去; 我要使他在自己的国土倒在刀下. ’”

19:8 When the chief commander returned, he found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
拉伯沙基回去, 发觉亚述王正在攻打立拿, 因为他曾听说亚述王已拔营离开拉吉.

19:9 He heard about Tirhakah, the king of Cush, saying, “Look, he has set out to fight with you,” so he again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
亚述王听见有关古实王特哈加的消息说: “看哪, 他出来要和你交战. ”于是亚述王再派使者去见希西家说:

19:10 “Thus you shall say to Hezekiah the king of Judah, ‘Let not your God whom you are trusting deceive you, by his saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria!”
“你们要对犹大王希西家说: ‘不要让你所信靠的神欺骗你说: 耶路撒冷不会交在亚述王的手中.

19:11 Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, by utterly destroying them, and shall you be delivered?
看哪, 你听过亚述列王怎样对付列国, 把它们完全毁灭, 你会得着解救吗?

19:12 Did the gods of the nations that my predecessors destroyed deliver them? Not Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, nor the children of Eden who were in Tel Assar.
我祖先所消灭的民族, 就是歌散人,哈兰人,利色人和在提．拉撒的伊甸人, 他们的神可曾解救他们吗?

19:13 Where are the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’ ”
哈马王,亚珥拔王,西法瓦音城的王,希拿王和以瓦王在哪里呢? ’”

19:14 Hezekiah took the letters from the hand of the messengers and read them. Then he went up to the temple of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread them out before the presence of Yahweh.
希西家从使者手中接过信件, 念完了, 就上耶和华的殿. 希西家把信件在耶和华面前展开.

19:15 Then Hezekiah prayed before the face of Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel who lives above the cherubim. You are God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the world; you have made the heavens and the earth.
希西家在耶和华面前祷告, 说: “耶和华以色列的神, 坐在二基路伯中间的啊, 只有你是地上万国的神, 天地是你创造的.

19:16 Incline your ears and hear; open, O Yahweh, your eyes and see and hear the words of Sennacherib which he has sent to insult the living God.
耶和华啊! 求你侧耳聆听; 耶和华啊! 求你睁眼垂顾; 听那派使者来侮辱永活的神的西拿基立的话.

19:17 Truly, O Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have utterly destroyed the nations and their land.
耶和华啊! 亚述列王真的曾毁坏列国和它们的领土,

19:18 He has hurled their gods in the fire because they are not gods, but the work of the hands of a human made of wood and stone, so they destroyed them.
把它们的神丢进火里, 但他们并不是神, 不过是人手用木头,石头做成的, 因此他们可以把他们除掉.

19:19 So then, O Yahweh our God, rescue us, please, from his hand, that all of the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Yahweh, you alone are God!”
现在, 耶和华我们的神啊, 求你从他的手中把我们拯救出来, 地上万国就可以知道只有你耶和华才是神. ”

19:20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘What you have prayed to me about Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
于是亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚派人去见希西家, 说: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你向我祷告有关亚述王西拿基立的事, 我已经听见了. ’

19:21 This is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him: She despises you, she scorns you, the virgin daughter of Zion. Behind you the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head.
下面是耶和华所说关于他的话: ‘锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“处女”)藐视你, 嗤笑你; 耶路撒冷的居民在你背后摇头.

19:22 Whom have you mocked and reviled? And against whom have you have raised your voice and have haughtily lifted your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!
你辱骂了谁, 亵渎了谁? 你扬声攻击谁呢? 你高举眼目是向谁傲慢呢? 就是攻击以色列的圣者.

19:23 By the hand of your messengers you have mocked the Lord, and you have said, ‘With my many chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains. To the remote areas of Lebanon, I have felled the tallest of its cedars, the choicest of its cypresses. I have entered the place of overnight lodging. Even to the edge of forest of its fertile land.
你借着你的使者侮辱了我的主, 你说－－我要用大批的战车, 攀登众山的高峰, 到达黎巴嫩山的顶端, 砍伐高大的香柏树, 佳美的松木; 我要进入极远的峰峦, 最茂密的森林.

19:24 I dug wells and I drank foreign water, and I dried up with the sole of my steps all the canals of Egypt.’
我掘井饮外地的水, 我用脚掌踏干埃及所有的河道.

19:25 Have you not heard? From long ago I have determined it, from the days of old I have planned it, and now I am bringing it to pass. It shall be turned into a pile of rocks; fortified cities are ruined.
你没有听过吗? 在远古我已决定, 在古时我已筹划, 现在我要实现, 就是你使设防城变成乱堆.

19:26 Their inhabitants, short of hand, shall be dismayed; and they shall be ashamed. They have become green plants of the open field, and tender grass, green grass of the roof and blight before the standing grain.
他们的居民没有能力, 惊惶,羞惭. 他们好像田野的嫩草, 青绿的蔬菜, 和房顶上的草, 还未长成就枯萎了.

19:27 Your sitting, your going out, and your coming in I know, and your raging against me.
你坐下, 你出去, 你进来, 以及你对我所发的烈怒, 我都知道.

19:28 Because you are raging against me, and your arrogance has come up in my ears, I will put my nose ring in your nose and my bridle in your mouth. And I will turn you back on the way that you have come.
因为你向我发了烈怒, 你狂傲的话进入我的耳中, 我要把我的钩子钩在你的鼻子上, 把嚼环套在你的嘴上, 使你在你来的路上转回去.

19:29 “ ‘This will be the sign for you: Eat the volunteer plants for the year, and in the second year, the volunteer plants that spring up from that. But in the third year, sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
‘这要给你作一个征兆: 这一年要吃自然生长的, 第二年也要吃自己长出来的, 第三年要撒种,收割, 栽种葡萄园, 吃它们的果子.

19:30 The remainder of the house of Judah which survives will again take root below and bear fruit above.
犹大家逃脱的余民, 必再往下扎根, 往上结果;

19:31 For from Jerusalem a remnant shall go out and survivors from Mount Zion; the zeal of Yahweh will do this.
因为将有剩余的人从耶路撒冷出来, 将有逃脱的人从锡安山而来, 耶和华的热心必成全这事.

19:32 “ ‘Therefore thus says Yahweh to the king of Assyria, “He shall not come to this city, nor shall he shoot an arrow there, nor shall he bring a small shield near her, nor shall he cast a siege ramp against her.
因此, 耶和华论到亚述王这样说: 他不会来到这城, 不会在那里射箭, 也不会拿着盾牌向城进攻, 不会筑起土堆围攻它.

19:33 By the way that he came to her he shall return; but to this city, he shall not come,” declares Yahweh.
他必循他来的路回去, 他必不能来到这城, 这是耶和华的宣告.

19:34 And I will defend this city to save her for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.’ ”
为了我和我仆人大卫的缘故, 我必保护这城, 拯救这城. ’”

19:35 It happened in that night that an angel of Yahweh went out, and he struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. When they got up early in the morning, look! All of them were dead corpses.
那天晚上, 耶和华的使者出去, 在亚述军营杀了十八万五千人. 早上, 他们起来的时候, 看哪, 到处都是死尸.

19:36 Then Sennacherib king of Assyria set out and went and returned and lived in Nineveh.
于是亚述王西拿基立拔营离开, 回去住在尼尼微.

19:37 It happened that he was worshiping in the temple of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword. Then they escaped into the land of Ararat, and Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.
一日, 他正在他的神亚斯洛的庙中叩拜的时候, 亚得米勒和沙利巴用刀刺杀了他, 然后逃到亚拉腊地. 他的儿子以撒哈顿接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 20

20:1 In those days Hezekiah became deathly ill, and Isaiah the son of Amoz the prophet came to him and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Command your house, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’ ”
在那些日子, 希西家病得要死了. 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知来见他, 对他说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你要留遗命给你的家人, 因为你将要死, 不能再活了. ’”

20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
他却转脸向墙, 祷告耶和华说:

20:3 “O Yahweh, please remember how I went about before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and remember the good that I have done in your eyes.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.
“唉, 耶和华啊! 求你记念我曾怎样以真诚和完全的心在你面前行事为人, 我所行的都是你看为善的事. ”希西家就痛哭起来.

20:4 Isaiah had not gone out from the middle of the city when the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
以赛亚还没有出到中院, 耶和华的话就临到他说:

20:5 “Return; you must say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, ‘Thus says Yahweh the God of David your ancestor, “I have heard your prayer and I have seen your tears. Look, I am about to heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the temple of Yahweh.
“你回去对我子民的君主希西家说: ‘你祖大卫的神耶和华这样说: 我听见了你的祷告, 看见了你的眼泪. 看哪, 我必医治你, 第三日你要上耶和华的殿.

20:6 I will add to your days fifteen years, and from the hand of the king of Assyria I will deliver you and this city. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.” ’ ”
我必把十五年的寿命增添给你. 我要拯救你和这城脱离亚述王的手, 又要因我自己和我仆人大卫的缘故保护这城. ’”

20:7 Then Isaiah said, “Bring a lump of figs,” so they took and put it on the skin sores, and he lived.
以赛亚说: “取一片无花果饼来. ”他们就取了来, 把它贴在疮上. 希西家就痊愈了.

20:8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What is the sign that Yahweh will heal me that I shall go up on the third day to the temple of Yahweh?”
希西家对以赛亚说: “有什么征兆告诉我耶和华必医治我, 第三日我能上耶和华的殿呢? ”

20:9 Isaiah said, “This is the sign for you from Yahweh that Yahweh will do the thing that he has promised: Shall the shadow advance ten steps or shall it return ten steps?”
以赛亚说: “这就是耶和华给你的征兆, 显明耶和华必成全他应许的这事: 你要日影向前进十级或是倒退十级呢? ”

20:10 Hezekiah answered, “It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backwards ten steps.”
希西家说: “日影延伸十级容易; 不, 我要日影倒后十级. ”

20:11 Isaiah the prophet called to Yahweh, and he brought back the shadow on the steps where it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz, backwards ten steps.
以赛亚先知呼求耶和华, 他就使日晷上的日影, 就是在亚哈斯的日晷上已经下移的日影倒退了十级.

20:12 At that time, Berodak-Baladan the son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been ill.
那时, 巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子比罗达．巴拉但送信和礼物给希西家, 因为他听见希西家病了.

20:13 Hezekiah heard about them and showed them all of the house of his treasure, both the silver and the gold, the spices, the good olive oil, the room of his weapons, and all that could be found in his treasuries. There was nothing that he did not show them in his palace and in all of his kingdom.
希西家听了使者的话, 随后把宝库内的一切银子,金子,香料,贵重的油和军器库, 以及他宝库内一切所有的, 都给他们看. 无论是在他的宫中或是在全国各地的, 希西家没有一样不给他们看的.

20:14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “From a far land; they have come from Babylon.”
后来, 以赛亚先知来到希西家王那里, 对他说: “这些人说了些什么? 他们是从哪里来见你的呢? ”希西家说: “他们是从遥远的巴比伦来见我的. ”

20:15 Then he asked, “What did they see in your palace?” And Hezekiah said, “All that is in my palace they have seen; there is nothing that I did not show them in my treasuries.”
以赛亚说: “他们在你宫中看到了什么呢? ”希西家说: “我宫中的一切, 他们都看见了. 在我宝库内的, 我没有一样不给他们看的. ”

20:16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh!
以赛亚对希西家说: “你要听耶和华的话:

20:17 ‘Look, days are coming when all that is in your palace will be carried off; even all that your ancestors have stored up until this day, to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says Yahweh.
‘看哪, 日子快到, 那时你宫中的一切和你的祖先所积存直到今日的一切, 都要被掠到巴比伦去, 没有一样留下. ’这是耶和华说的.

20:18 ‘Your sons who went out from you, whom you brought forth, will be taken, and they shall be eunuchs in the temple of the king of Babylon.’ ”
并且你的众子中, 就是由你所出, 你所生的, 有一部分要被掳去. 他们要在巴比伦王的王宫中当太监. ”

20:19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh which you have spoken is good,” and he thought, “Is it not that peace and security shall be in my days?”
希西家对以赛亚说: “你所说耶和华的话很好. ”他心里说: “在我的日子有和平和安全不是很好吗? ”

20:20 Now the remainder of the acts of Hezekiah, all of his powerful deeds, and how he made the pool and the conduit and brought the water into the city, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
希西家其余的事迹和他所有的英勇事迹, 以及他做水池和引水道, 把水引入城里的事, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

20:21 Then Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
希西家和他的祖先一同长眠, 他的儿子玛拿西就接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 21

21:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.
玛拿西登基的时候是十二岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王五十五年, 他的母亲名叫协西巴.

21:2 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, according to the detestable things of the nations that Yahweh had driven out from the presence of the Israelites.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 好像耶和华在以色列人面前赶走的民族所行的可憎恶的事.

21:3 He returned and rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed. He erected altars for Baal and made a pole of Asherah worship just as Ahab king of Israel had made, and he bowed down to all of the host of heaven and served them.
他重新建造邱坛, 就是他父亲希西家所拆毁的; 又为巴力建立祭坛, 做亚舍拉, 好像以色列王亚哈所做的, 并且敬拜事奉天上的万象.

21:4 He built altars in the temple of Yahweh about which Yahweh had said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
他又在耶和华的殿内建造祭坛, 耶和华曾指着这殿说: “我要立我的名在耶路撒冷. ”

21:5 He built an altar to all of the host of heaven in the two courtyards of the temple of Yahweh.
他又在耶和华殿的两院中为天上的万象建造祭坛.

21:6 He made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying and divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He increased the doing of evil in the eyes of Yahweh to provoke him.
他又把他的儿子用火烧为祭, 并且算命,观兆, 交鬼和行巫术; 多行耶和华看为恶的事, 惹他发怒.

21:7 He put the image of the Asherah that he had made in the temple which Yahweh had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this temple and in Jerusalem which I have chosen from all of the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
他又把自己所做的亚舍拉雕像安放在圣殿中, 耶和华曾对大卫和他的儿子所罗门论到这殿说: “我要在这殿和我从以色列众支派中拣选的耶路撒冷, 立我的名, 直到永远.

21:8 I will not again make the feet of Israel wander from the land which I have given to their ancestors, if they only observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, as far as the law that Moses my servant commanded them.”
只要以色列人谨守遵行我吩咐他们的一切, 就是我的仆人摩西吩咐他们的一切律法, 我必不会再使他们的脚离开我赐给他们祖先的土地, 流离飘荡. ”

21:9 But Manasseh did not listen and tempted them to do evil more than the nations that Yahweh destroyed before the presence of the Israelites.
但是他们没有听从. 玛拿西引诱他们去作坏事, 比耶和华从以色列人面前消灭的外族人更厉害.

21:10 So Yahweh spoke by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying,
于是耶和华借着他的仆人众先知说:

21:11 “Because Manasseh the king of Judah committed these detestable things and did evil more than the Amorites did who were before him and caused even Judah to sin with his idols,
“因为犹大王玛拿西所作这些可憎恶的事, 比在他以前的亚摩利人所行的恶更坏, 并且以他的偶像使犹大人犯罪.

21:12 therefore, thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘Look, I am bringing disaster upon Jerusalem and Judah about which the two ears of all who hear it will tingle.
所以, 耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘看哪, 我要把灾祸降在耶路撒冷和犹大, 使听见的人, 双耳都要刺痛.

21:13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes the dish; he wipes it and turns it on its face.
我要用量度撒玛利亚的准绳和测试亚哈家的铅锤, 测量耶路撒冷; 我要抹净耶路撒冷, 像人抹净盘子一样. 抹完了, 就把盘子翻转过来.

21:14 I will give up the remainder of my inheritance, and I will give them into the hand of their enemies. They shall become as prey and as spoil for all their enemies,
我要舍弃我的产业的余民, 把他们交在他们的仇敌手上; 他们要成为他们的仇敌的掠物和战利品.

21:15 because they have done evil in my eyes and were provoking me from the day that their ancestors came out from Egypt up to this day.’ ”
因为自从他们的祖先从埃及出来的那天, 直到今日, 他们一直行我看为恶的事, 惹我发怒. ’”

21:16 Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he filled Jerusalem from one end to another, apart from his sin which he caused Judah to sin by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
此外, 玛拿西又流了许多无辜人的血, 耶路撒冷, 从这边直到那边, 都满了血. 这还是在他使犹大人犯罪, 去行耶和华看为恶的事那罪之外.

21:17 The remainder of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did and his sin that he committed, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
玛拿西其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 以及他所犯的众罪, 不是都记录在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

21:18 Then Manasseh slept with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his palace, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son became king in his place.
玛拿西和他的祖先一同长眠, 葬在他宫中的花园,乌撒的花园里; 他的儿子亚们接续他作王.

21:19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
亚们登基时是二十二岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王二年. 他母亲名叫米舒利密, 来自约提巴, 是哈鲁斯的女儿.

21:20 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh as Manasseh his father had done.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 好像他父亲玛拿西所行的.

21:21 He walked in all of the way which his father had walked, and he served the idols which his father had served and bowed down to them.
他跟随他父亲所行的一切道路, 服事他父亲所服事的偶像, 敬拜它们.

21:22 He abandoned Yahweh the God of his ancestors and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.
他离弃耶和华他祖先的神, 不跟随耶和华的道路.

21:23 The servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.
亚们的臣仆阴谋背叛他, 在王宫中把他杀死.

21:24 But the people of the land killed all who conspired against the king and made Josiah his son king in his place.
可是国民却击杀了所有阴谋背叛亚们王的人. 国民立了他的儿子约西亚接续他作王.

21:25 The remainder of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
亚们其余的事迹, 就是他所行的一切, 不是都记在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

21:26 They buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in place of him.
他葬在乌撒园里他自己的坟墓中; 他的儿子约西亚接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 22

22:1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah from Bozkath.
约西亚登基的时候只有八岁. 他在耶路撒冷作王共三十一年. 他母亲名叫耶底大, 是亚大雅的女儿, 来自波斯加.

22:2 He did right in the eyes of Yahweh, and he walked in all of the way of David his ancestor and did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
他行耶和华看为正的事, 跟随他祖宗大卫所行的一切道路, 不偏左右.

22:3 It happened in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent word to Shaphan the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the secretary of the temple of Yahweh, saying,
约西亚在位第十八年, 王差派米书兰的孙子,亚萨利的儿子,书记沙番到耶和华的殿, 吩咐他说:

22:4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and let them count the money being brought to the temple of Yahweh which the keepers of the threshold have collected from the people,
“你上去到希勒家大祭司那里, 叫他把献给耶和华殿的银子, 就是守门的从人民所收集的, 结算一下.

22:5 and let them give it into the hand of those appointed doers of the work at the temple of Yahweh. Let them give it to the doers of the work who are at the temple of Yahweh to repair the breach of the temple:
然后要他们把银子交到在耶和华殿管理工匠的人手中, 他们可以把银子交付在耶和华殿修补破坏的地方的工匠,

22:6 to the skilled craftsmen, to the builders, to the masons, and to buy timber and hewing stones to repair the temple.
就是交给木匠,建筑工人,石匠, 又购买木材和凿好的石头, 用来修理圣殿破坏的地方.

22:7 Only the money being given to them is not to be accounted for by them, for they are dealing with honesty.”
银子交在他们手中, 不用和他们算帐, 因为他们办事诚实. ”

22:8 Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the temple of Yahweh,” and Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan and he read it.
希勒家大祭司对书记沙番说: “我在耶和华的殿里找到了一卷律法书. ”他把书卷交给沙番; 沙番就阅读那书卷.

22:9 Shaphan the secretary came to the king and returned the king a word, and he said, “Your servant poured out the money found in the temple, and they have given it into the hand of the doers of the work appointed over the temple of Yahweh.”
书记沙番来见王, 向王回报说: “你的臣仆已经把殿里的银子清点, 交在耶和华殿里管理工匠的人手中. ”

22:10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a scroll.” Then Shaphan read before the king.
书记沙番又告诉王说: “希勒家大祭司交给我一卷书卷. ”书记沙番就在王面前诵读那书卷.

22:11 When the king heard the words of the scroll of the Torah, he tore his clothes.
王听见律法书上的话的时候, 就撕裂自己的衣服.

22:12 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Acbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the servant of the king, saying,
王又吩咐希勒家祭司,沙番的儿子亚希甘,米该亚的儿子亚革博,书记沙番和王的臣仆及亚撒雅说:

22:13 “Go, inquire of Yahweh for me and for the people and for all of Judah concerning the words of this scroll that was found. For the wrath of Yahweh that is kindled against us is great because our ancestors did not listen to the words of this scroll to do according to all that is written concerning us!”
“你们去, 为了我,为了人民,为了犹大全国, 因着所发现的这书卷上的话求问耶和华, 因为耶和华向我们所发的怒气极大; 这是因着我们的祖先没有听从这律法书上的话, 没有照着所有写给我们的去行. ”

22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah the son of Harhas, the keeper of the robes. Now she was living in Jerusalem in the second district. Then they spoke to her,
于是希勒家祭司,亚希甘,亚革博,沙番,亚撒雅去见女先知户勒大. 她就是掌管礼服的沙龙的妻子, 沙龙是哈珥哈斯的孙子,特瓦的儿子. 她住在耶路撒冷第二区; 他们就把事情都告诉了她.

22:15 and she said to them, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘Say to the man who sent you to me,
她对他们说: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘告诉那差你们到我这里来的人说:

22:16 “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Look I am bringing evil to this place and upon its inhabitants, according to all of the words of that scroll that the king of Judah has read
耶和华这样说: 看哪, 我要照着犹大王所念那书卷上所有的话, 使灾祸降临在这地方和它的居民身上,

22:17 because they have abandoned me and they have burned incense to other gods, provoking me to anger with all of the works of their hands. My wrath shall be kindled against this place and not be quenched.’ ”
因为他们背弃了我, 向别的神焚香. 他们所行的一切都使我发怒, 因此我的怒火要在这地方燃点, 不会熄灭.

22:18 And to the king of Judah who sent all of you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall say to him, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘Concerning the words that you have heard,
至于那差你们来求问耶和华的犹大王, 你们要这样对他说: 耶和华以色列的神这样说: 有关你所听见的话,

22:19 because you have a responsive heart, and you humbled yourself before Yahweh when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants to become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before my face, I have also heard, declares Yahweh.
你听见我攻击这地方和它的居民的话, 就是他们要成为荒凉, 受咒诅, 你的心就顺服, 在我面前谦卑, 又撕裂自己的衣服, 在我面前哀哭, 我已经听到了. 这是耶和华的宣告.

22:20 Therefore look, I am gathering you to your ancestors, and you shall be gathered to your tombs in peace. Your eyes will not see all of the disaster that I am bringing onto this place.’ ” ’ ” Then they reported the word to the king.
因此, 看哪, 我要使你归到你的祖先那里, 你必平平安安地葬在你的坟墓里; 你不会看见我要降在这地的一切灾祸. ’”他们就把这话向王回报.

II Kings - Chapter 23

23:1 So the king sent word, and all of the elders of Judah and Jerusalem gathered to him.
于是王派人召集犹大和耶路撒冷所有的长老到他那里.

23:2 Then the king went up to the temple of Yahweh, and all of the men of Judah and all of the inhabitants of Jerusalem were with him, including the priests, the prophets, and all of the people from smallest to greatest; and in their hearing he read all of the words of the scroll of the covenant that had been found in the temple of Yahweh.
王登上耶和华的殿, 犹大众人,耶路撒冷所有的居民, 还有祭司,先知和众民, 不论大小, 都一同前往. 王就把在耶和华殿发现的约书所记的一切话都念给他们听.

23:3 Then the king stood by the pillar, and he made a covenant before Yahweh, to go after Yahweh and to keep his commands and his warnings and his statutes, with all of his heart and with his all of his soul, to keep the words of this covenant written on this scroll. Then all of the people joined in the covenant.
王站在柱旁, 在耶和华面前立约, 要一心一意跟从耶和华, 谨守他的诫命,典章和律例, 实行这书上所写有关这约的话. 众民都一同立约.

23:4 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the second priests, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the temple of Yahweh all of the objects made for Baal and for the Asherah and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and then he carried their ashes to Bethel.
王吩咐希勒家大祭司,副祭司和守殿门的, 把所有为巴力,亚舍拉和天上的万象所制造的器皿, 从耶和华殿里搬出去, 在耶路撒冷城外汲沦谷的田野, 把它们烧了. 然后把它们的灰烬带到伯特利去.

23:5 He removed the priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places at the cities of Judah and around Jerusalem and who offered incense to, to the sun, to the moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.
他废除了从前犹大列王所立,在犹大各城的邱坛, 和耶路撒冷的周围焚香拜偶像的祭司. 又废除向巴力,日,月,星辰和天上万象焚香的人.

23:6 He brought out the Asherah image from the temple of Yahweh outside of Jerusalem to the Wadi of the Kidron and burnt it there; then he pulverized it to dust and threw its dust upon the tombs of the children of the people.
他把亚舍拉像从耶和华殿里搬走, 拿到耶路撒冷外的汲沦溪去, 在汲沦溪把它烧毁, 磨碎成灰, 把灰撒在平民的坟墓上.

23:7 He tore down the shrines of the male shrine prostitutes which were in the temple of Yahweh, where the women were weaving shrines for the Asherah.
他拆毁在耶和华殿内男性庙妓的房屋, 就是妇女为亚舍拉编织袍子的地方.

23:8 Then he brought all of the priests from the cities of Judah and defiled the high places where the priests from Geba up to Beersheba burned incense. He tore down the high places of the gates which were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on the left of each gate of the city.
他又从犹大各城把祭司们召来, 污秽祭司们焚香的邱坛, 从迦巴直到别是巴. 他又拆毁设在城门的邱坛, 就是在市长约书亚门的出入处, 在城门的左边.

23:9 However, the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread in the midst of their relatives.
但是邱坛的祭司不会登上在耶路撒冷耶和华的祭坛, 他们只是在他们的兄弟中间吃无酵饼.

23:10 He defiled the Topheth which is in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, to prevent anyone causing his sons or his daughters to pass through the fire for Molech.
他又污秽在欣嫩子谷的陀斐特, 人在那里将儿女焚烧献给摩洛.

23:11 He kept the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from coming to the temple of Yawheh at the side room of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, which was in the court; and the chariots of the sun he burned with fire.
他又除去犹大列王献给日头的马匹; 这些马匹是在耶和华殿的入口处, 靠近太监拿单．米勒在院子里的住宅. 他又把献给日头的战车用火烧掉.

23:12 The altars which were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courtyards of the temple of Yahweh, the king tore down and ran from there and threw their ashes into the Wadi Kidron.
他又把亚哈斯的楼房顶上, 犹大列王所做的祭坛, 和玛拿西在耶和华殿的两院中所做的祭坛拆毁, 就地打碎, 把它们的灰尘倒进汲沦溪去.

23:13 The high places which were east of Jerusalem, which were on the south of the Mountain of Destruction which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the detestable thing of the Ammonites, the king defiled.
在耶路撒冷东面,橄榄山南面的邱坛, 就是以色列王所罗门为西顿人可憎的神亚斯他录,摩押人可憎的神基抹, 和亚扪人可憎的神米勒公所筑的邱坛, 王都污秽了.

23:14 He also broke into pieces the stone pillars and cut down the Asherah poles and covered their sites with human bones.
他又打碎神柱, 砍下亚舍拉, 把死人的骨头布满那个地方.

23:15 Moreover, the altar which was in Bethel, the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin, had built, even that altar and the high place, Josiah tore down. Then he burned down the high place and crushed the pole of Asherah worship to dust and burned it with fire.
此外, 甚至在伯特利的祭坛和那使以色列人陷于罪中的尼八的儿子耶罗波安所做的邱坛, 他都拆毁焚烧, 压碎成灰, 又把亚舍拉烧了.

23:16 When Josiah turned and saw the tombs which were there on the hill, he sent and took the bones from the tombs and burned them on the altar. Thus he defiled them according to the word of Yahweh that the man of God had proclaimed who had proclaimed these things.
约西亚转过身来, 看见在山上的坟墓, 于是派人把骨头从坟墓中取出来, 烧在祭坛上, 污秽它, 就像神人从前所宣告的耶和华的话.

23:17 Then he said, “What is this gravestone that I am seeing?” The men of the city said to him, “This is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
约西亚说: “我看见的这墓碑是谁的呢? ”那城的人对他说: “这是以前从犹大来预告你在伯特利祭坛上所作的事的神人的坟墓. ”

23:18 So Josiah said, “Let him rest and let no man move his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who had come from Samaria.
所以王说: “由他吧! 不要让人动他的骨头. ”于是他们没有碰他的骨头和那从撒玛利亚来的先知的骨头.

23:19 Moreover, all of the shrines of the high places which were in the towns of Samaria which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh, Josiah removed, and he did to them like all of the deeds he had done in Bethel.
以色列诸王在撒玛利亚各城市建造, 以致激怒耶和华的一切邱坛上的庙堂, 约西亚都除去; 他照着在伯特利所行的一切对付它们.

23:20 Then he slaughtered all of the priests of the high places who were there, on the altars, and he burned the bones of the humans on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
他又把所有邱坛的祭司都在祭坛上宰了. 他把人的骨头烧在它们上面, 然后回到耶路撒冷去了.

23:21 Then the king commanded all of the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as has been written on the scroll of this covenant.”
王又命令众民说: “照着这约书上所写的, 守逾越节, 记念耶和华你们的神. ”

23:22 For they had not kept this Passover from the days of the judges who had judged over Israel or during the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.
真的自从士师治理以色列的日子以来, 以及以色列诸王和犹大列王所有的日子以来, 没有守过像这次的逾越节的.

23:23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept for Yahweh in Jerusalem.
只有在约西亚王第十八年, 在耶路撒冷守了这逾越节, 记念耶和华.

23:24 Moreover, the mediums and the spiritists, the household gods and the idols, and all of the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah removed in order to establish the words of the law written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had found in the temple of Yahweh.
约西亚也除去在犹大地和耶路撒冷所有招魂的,行巫术的,家神,偶像和一切可憎之物, 为要实践希勒家祭司在耶和华殿里所寻得的书上所写律法的话.

23:25 There was not a king like him before him, who turned to Yahweh with all of his heart and with all of his soul and with all of his might according to the law of Moses, nor did one arise like him afterwards.
在他以前没有王好像他按着摩西一切律法, 全心,全性,全力归向耶和华; 在他以后也没有兴起一个王好像他的.

23:26 However, Yahweh did not turn from the fierceness of his great anger which was kindled against Judah because of all of the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him.
但耶和华并没有把他向犹大所发的烈怒消除, 因玛拿西种种的恶行激怒了他.

23:27 Yahweh had said, “Even Judah I will remove from my face, as I have removed Israel; I will reject this city that I have chosen, even Jerusalem and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there’!”
耶和华说: “我也要把犹大从我面前赶走, 好像我把以色列除去一样. 我要丢弃我所拣选的城市耶路撒冷, 以及圣殿, 我曾说: ‘我的名必立在那里. ’”

23:28 The remainder of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约西亚其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

23:29 In his days, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to meet him, and he killed him at Megiddo as soon as he saw him.
在约西亚的日子, 埃及王法老尼哥上来幼发拉底河帮助亚述王, 约西亚王竟去迎战他, 法老看见他的时候, 就把他杀死在米吉多.

23:30 So his servants drove him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, and they brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
他的臣仆把他的尸体从米吉多用马车运载, 送到耶路撒冷, 把他埋葬在他自己的坟墓里. 国民选举约西亚的儿子约哈斯, 膏了他, 立他接续他父亲作王.

23:31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
约哈斯登基时是二十三岁, 他在耶路撒冷作王三个月. 他母亲名叫哈慕他, 是立拿人耶利米的女儿.

23:32 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all his ancestors had done.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 好像他的祖先所行的.

23:33 Then Pharaoh Neco confined him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and imposed a levy on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
法老尼哥把他囚禁在哈马地的利比拉, 使他不能在耶路撒冷作王; 又罚了犹大国三千公斤银子和三十公斤金子.

23:34 Then Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of Josiah his father, and he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
法老尼哥另立约西亚的儿子以利雅敬接续他的父亲约西亚作王, 改了他的名字作约雅敬. 他俘掳了约哈斯, 把他带到埃及, 他就死在那里.

23:35 The silver and the gold Jehoiakim gave to Pharaoh; however, he taxed the land to give the silver to meet the demands of Pharaoh. Each according to assessment, he exacted payment of the silver and the gold from the people of the land to give to Pharaoh Neco.
约雅敬把银子,金子付给法老; 为了应付法老的命令, 他向全国征收税银, 按着他的评估, 向每位国民索取金银, 好付给法老尼哥.

23:36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah.
约雅敬登基的时候是二十五岁, 他在耶路撒冷作王十一年. 他母亲名叫西布大, 是鲁玛人毗大雅的女儿.

23:37 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his ancestors had done.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 好像他的祖先一切所行的.

II Kings - Chapter 24

24:1 In his days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up because Jehoiakim had become his servant for three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.
约雅敬在位的时候, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来攻打他, 约雅敬就臣服他三年, 后来却反悔, 背叛他.

24:2 So Yahweh sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, raiding bands of Aram, raiding bands of Moab, and raiding bands of the Ammonites. He had sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Yahweh that he had spoken by the hand of his servants the prophets.
耶和华差派迦勒底的军队,亚兰的军队,摩押的军队和亚扪人的军队攻打他, 他差他们攻击犹大, 毁灭它, 就像耶和华借着他的仆人众先知预言的话.

24:3 Surely, it was on the command of Yahweh against Judah to remove them from his sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done.
这事临到犹大完全是出于耶和华的命令, 因着玛拿西的罪, 就是他所行的一切, 要把他们从自己面前赶走;

24:4 Also, for the blood of the innocent that he had shed—and he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood—Yahweh was not willing to forgive.
又因着他所流无辜人的血, 他使耶路撒冷满了无辜人的血, 耶和华决不赦免.

24:5 The remainder of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约雅敬其余的事迹和他所行的一切, 不是都记在犹大列王的年代志上吗?

24:6 So Jehoiakim slept with his ancestors, and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
约雅敬和他的祖先一同长眠, 他的儿子约雅斤接续他作王.

24:7 The king of Egypt did not again come out from his land, for the king of Babylon had taken territory from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
埃及王不再从本国出征, 因为巴比伦王占据了所有从前属于埃及王的领土, 从埃及小河直到幼发拉底河.

24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan from Jerusalem.
约雅斤登基的时候是十八岁, 他在耶路撒冷作王三个月; 他母亲名叫尼护施他, 是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿.

24:9 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his father had done.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 好像他的祖先一切所行的.

24:10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and the city came under the siege.
那时, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的臣仆来到耶路撒冷, 城就被围困.

21:10 “Go, you must speak to David, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Three choices I offer to you. Choose one of them for yourself that I will do to you.” ’ ”
“你去告诉大卫, 说: ‘耶和华这样说: 我给你提出三件事, 你可以选择一件, 我好向你施行. ’”

21:11 So Gad came to David and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Choose for yourself:
于是迦得来见大卫, 对他说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你可以选择:

21:12 whether three years of famine or three months of devastation by your enemies while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or three days of the sword of Yahweh, with disease in the land and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the territory in Israel.’ So now, see what word I should return to my sender.”
或是三年的饥荒; 或是在你敌人面前逃亡, 被你仇敌的刀剑追杀三个月; 或是耶和华的刀攻击三天, 就是在国中发生瘟疫三日, 耶和华的使者在以色列的四境施行毁灭. ’现在你考虑一下, 我该用什么话回复那差派我来的. ”

21:13 Then David said to Gad, “I am very troubled. Let me into the hand of Yahweh, for his compassion is very great, but do not let me fall into the hand of a man.”
大卫对迦得说: “我十分作难, 我情愿落在耶和华的手里, 因为他有极丰盛的怜悯, 我不愿落在人的手里. ”

21:14 So Yahweh sent a pestilence through Israel, and seventy thousand men from Israel fell.
于是耶和华使瘟疫降在以色列人身上; 以色列人死了七万人.

21:15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he was about to destroy it, Yahweh saw and was grieved on account of the calamity. Then he said to the angel, the destroyer, “It is enough; slacken your hand.” And the angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
神差派一位使者到耶路撒冷去, 要毁灭那城; 正要施行毁灭的时候, 耶和华看见了, 就后悔所要降的这灾, 于是对施行毁灭的天使说: “够了! 住手吧! ”那时, 耶和华的使者正站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场附近.

21:16 And David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and heaven, with his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
大卫举目看见耶和华的使者站在天地中间, 手里拿着出了鞘的刀, 指向耶路撒冷. 大卫和众长老都穿上麻布, 脸伏于地.

21:17 Then David said to God, “Was it not I who gave a command to count the people? Now I am he who has sinned, and I have certainly done wickedness, but these sheep, what have they done? O Yahweh, my God, please let your hand be against me and against the house of my father, but against your people, let there be no plague.”
大卫对神说: “吩咐统计这人民的不是我吗? 是我犯了罪, 行了这大恶; 但这羊群作了什么呢? 耶和华我的神啊, 愿你的手攻击我和我的家族, 不可把瘟疫降在你子民的身上. ”

21:18 Now the angel of Yahweh had spoken to Gad to say to David that David should go up and erect an altar for Yahweh.
耶和华的使者吩咐迦得去告诉大卫, 叫他上去, 在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上, 为耶和华筑一座祭坛.

21:19 So David went up at the word of Gad that he had spoken in the name of Yahweh.
大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华的名所说的话上去了.

21:20 Now Ornan was threshing wheat, and Ornan turned and saw the angel, and his four sons with him hid themselves.
那时阿珥楠正在打麦子; 阿珥楠转过身来看见了天使, 就和他的四个儿子一起躲藏起来.

21:21 Then David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and they bowed down to David, faces to the ground.
大卫来到阿珥楠那里, 阿珥楠看见大卫, 就从禾场上出来, 脸伏于地, 向大卫下拜.

21:22 Then David said to Ornan, “Please give me the place, the threshing floor, that I might build an altar on it to Yahweh; at full price please give it to me, that the plague against the people might be stopped.”
大卫对阿珥楠说: “请把这块禾场的地让给我, 我要在这里为耶和华筑一座祭坛, 请你算足价银让给我, 使民间的瘟疫可以止息. ”

21:23 And Ornan said to David, “Take it to yourself; let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. See, I give the cattle for the burnt offerings and threshing sledges for the wood and wheat for the grain offering—I give it all.”
阿珥楠对大卫说: “只管拿去吧, 我主我王看怎样好就怎样行吧; 你看, 我把牛给你作燔祭, 把打禾的用具当柴烧, 拿麦子作素祭; 这一切我都送给你. ”

21:24 But King David said to Ornan, “No, for I will certainly buy it at full value; indeed, I will not take what is yours for Yahweh and offer burnt offerings for nothing.”
大卫王对阿珥楠说: “不, 我必照足价银向你买; 我不能拿你的东西献给耶和华, 也不能把没有付代价的东西献上作燔祭. ”

21:25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
于是大卫称了六千八百四十克金子给阿珥楠, 买了那块地.

21:26 Then David built an altar there to Yahweh, and he offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and he called to Yahweh. And he answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering.
大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座祭坛, 献上燔祭和平安祭; 他呼求耶和华, 耶和华就应允他, 从天上降火在燔祭坛上.

21:27 Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
耶和华吩咐使者, 他就收刀入鞘.

21:28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.
那时, 大卫见耶和华在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上应允了他, 就在那里献祭.

21:29 Now the tabernacle of Yahweh that Moses had made in the desert and the altar of burnt offering were at that time at the high place of Gibeon.
摩西在旷野所做耶和华的帐幕和燔祭坛, 那时都在基遍的高地,

21:30 But David was not able to go before it to seek God, for he was afraid on account of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.
只是大卫不敢上去求问神, 因为惧怕耶和华使者的刀. [ (I Chronicles 21:31) 于是大卫说: “这就是耶和华神的殿, 这就是给以色列人献燔祭的坛. ” ]

I Chronicles - Chapter 22

22:1 Then David said, “This will be the house of Yahweh God, and this altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
大卫吩咐人召集住在以色列地的外族人, 又派石匠开凿石头, 要建造神的殿.

22:2 And David commanded to assemble the resident aliens who were in the land of Israel and appointed stone craftsmen to cut dressed stones to build the house of God.
大卫预备了大量的铁, 做门扇上的钉子和钩子; 又预备了大量的铜, 多得无法可称;

22:3 And David provided much iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for the seams, and abundant copper that could not be weighed,
又预备了无数的香柏木, 因为西顿人和推罗人给大卫运来了很多香柏木.

22:4 and cedar timbers without number, for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought abundant cedars to David.
大卫心里说: “我的儿子所罗门年幼识浅, 要为耶和华建造的殿宇, 必须宏伟辉煌, 名声荣耀传遍各地, 因此我必须为这殿预备材料. ”于是大卫在未死以前, 预备了很多材料.

22:5 Then David said, “Solomon my son is a boy and inexperienced, and the house built for Yahweh must be exceedingly great in fame and splendor throughout every land. I will make preparations for him.” So David provided abundant materials before he died.
大卫把他的儿子所罗门召了来, 吩咐他要为耶和华以色列的神建造殿宇.

22:6 Then he called to Solomon his son and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.
大卫对所罗门说: “我儿啊, 我心里原想为耶和华我的神建造殿宇,

22:7 And David said to Solomon his son, “I myself had in my heart to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God,
只是耶和华的话临到我说: ‘你流了许多人的血, 打了很多大仗; 你不可为我的名建造殿宇, 因为你在我面前流了许多人的血在地上.

22:8 but it happened that the word of Yahweh came over me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have made much war; you shall not build a house for my name because you have shed much blood upon the ground before me.
看哪, 你必生一个儿子; 他是个和平的人, 我必使他得享太平, 不被四围所有的仇敌骚扰; 他的名字要叫所罗门, 他在位的日子, 我必把太平和安宁赐给以色列人.

22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to you; he himself will be a man of rest, and I will give rest to him from all his enemies all around, for his name will be Solomon, and peace and quietness I will give to Israel in his days.
他要为我的名建造殿宇; 他要作我的儿子, 我要作他的父亲; 我必坚立他的国位, 永远统治以色列. ’

22:10 He himself will build a house for my name, and he himself will be to me a son, and I will be to him as a father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
我儿啊, 现在愿耶和华与你同在, 使你亨通, 照着他应许你, 建造耶和华你的神的殿宇.

22:11 Now, my son, Yahweh will be with you, that you may succeed and build the house of Yahweh your God as he has spoken concerning you.
深愿耶和华赐你聪明和智慧, 使你治理以色列的时候, 谨守耶和华你的神的律法.

22:12 Only may Yahweh give to you understanding and insight that he might give you charge over Israel and the keeping of the law of Yahweh your God.
如果你谨守遵行耶和华吩咐摩西向以色列人颁布的律例和典章, 这样你就必亨通. 你要坚强勇敢, 不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶.

22:13 Then you will prosper if you take care to do the statutes and judgments which Yahweh commanded Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and be courageous; fear not and do not be dismayed.
看哪, 我辛辛苦苦为耶和华的殿预备了金子三千四百公吨, 银子三万四千公吨, 铜和铁多得无法可称; 我又预备了木材和石头; 你还可以增添.

22:14 Now see, with great effort I have made provision for the house of Yahweh: 100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron that cannot be weighed, for there is an abundance. Also timber and stone I have provided, but to these you should add.
此外, 你也有很多匠人: 凿石的人,石匠,木匠和能作各样工作的巧手工人,

22:15 And with you there is an abundance of craftsmen: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and everyone skilled in every kind of craftsmanship
以及金匠,银匠,铜匠,铁匠, 多得无法可数; 你当起来作工, 愿耶和华与你同在! ”

22:16 with gold, silver, bronze, and iron without number. Arise and work! Yahweh will be with you!”
大卫又吩咐以色列的众领袖帮助他的儿子所罗门, 说:

22:17 And David commanded all the commanders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
“耶和华你们的神不是与你们同在吗? 不是使你们四境都安宁吗? 因为他已经把这地的居民交在我手中; 这地在耶和华和他的子民面前被治服了.

22:18 “Is not Yahweh your God with you? And has he not given you rest all around? For he has put in my hand the inhabitants of the land, and the land is subdued before Yahweh and before his people.
现在你们要立定心意, 寻求耶和华你们的神; 你们当起来, 建造耶和华神的圣所, 好把耶和华的约柜和神的神圣器皿, 都搬进为耶和华的名所建造的殿宇中. ”

22:19 Now set your heart and mind to seek Yahweh your Go, and arise and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, that the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the holy vessels of God might be brought into the house built for the name of Yahweh.
现在你们要立定心意, 寻求耶和华你们的神; 你们当起来, 建造耶和华神的圣所, 好把耶和华的约柜和神的神圣器皿, 都搬进为耶和华的名所建造的殿宇中. ”

I Chronicles - Chapter 23

23:1 Now David was old and full of days. And he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
大卫年老, 寿数将尽的时候, 就立他的儿子所罗门作王统治以色列.

23:2 And he assembled all the commanders of Israel and the priests and the Levites.
大卫召集了以色列的众领袖,祭司和利未人.

23:3 And the Levites thirty years old and above were counted, and their number according to their head count for the men was thirty-eight thousand.
利未人自三十岁以上的都被数点; 按统计, 他们男丁的数目, 共有三万八千人.

23:4 Of these, David said, “Twenty-four thousand are to direct the work of the house of Yahweh, along with six thousand judges and officials,
其中有二万四千人, 监管耶和华殿宇的工作; 有六千人作官长和审判官;

23:5 four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand offering praise with the instruments that I have made for praise.”
有四千人作守门的, 又有四千人用大卫所做(“大卫所做”原文作“我做”)的乐器赞美耶和华.

23:6 And David organized them in divisions according to the sons of Levi: to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

示每的儿子是雅哈,细拿,耶乌施和比利亚; 这四人都是示每的儿子.

23:11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons. They were enrolled as one for the house of a father.
雅哈是长子, 细撒是次子; 耶乌施和比利亚的子孙不多, 所以合为一个家族, 同归一个班次.

哥辖的儿子是暗兰,以斯哈,希伯伦和乌薛, 共四人.

暗兰的儿子是亚伦和摩西. 亚伦和他的子孙永远被分别出来, 献上至圣之物; 在耶和华面前烧香, 服事他, 奉他的名祝福, 直到永远.

23:14 But Moses the man of God and his sons were reckoned among the tribe of Levi.
至于神人摩西, 他的子孙记在利未支派的册上.

以上这些是利未的子孙, 按着他们的家族, 各家的首领, 照着男丁的名字被数点, 二十岁以上的, 都是办理耶和华殿的事务的.

23:25 For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
因为大卫曾说: “耶和华以色列的神已经使他的子民得享安宁, 他自己永远住在耶路撒冷.

23:26 And also, the Levites do not need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
利未人不必再抬帐幕和其中所使用的一切器皿了. ”

23:27 For by the last words of David, they are the number of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and above.
按着大卫临终所吩咐的话, 利未人从二十岁以上的都被数点了.

23:28 For their station was to assist the sons of Aaron with the service of the house of Yahweh, over the courtyards, over the chambers, and over the cleansing of all the sanctified objects, and with the work of the service of the house of God,
他们的职任是协助亚伦的子孙, 办理耶和华殿的事务, 管理院子,厢房和洁净一切圣物, 以及办理神殿的事务;

23:29 and with the rows of bread, the flour, the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baked offering, the offering mixed with oil, and for all the amounts and measurements.
又管理陈设饼,素祭细面, 或无酵薄饼, 或是煎盘烤的, 或是用油调和的, 以及管理各种量度的器具.

又要在安息日, 每月初一日和指定的节日, 按着数目照着规例, 把燔祭不住地献在耶和华面前.

23:32 And they shall keep the responsibility of the tent of assembly, the responsibility of the sanctified objects, and the responsibility of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, to serve the house of Yahweh.
他们要看守会幕和圣所, 以及看管他们在耶和华殿里办事的亲族, 亚伦的子孙.

I Chronicles - Chapter 24

24:1 And as for the sons of Aaron, these were their divisions. The sons of Aaron were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
亚伦子孙的班次如下: 亚伦的儿子是拿答,亚比户,以利亚撒和以他玛.

24:2 And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
拿答和亚比户比他们的父亲早死, 又没有儿子; 所以以利亚撒和以他玛作了祭司.

24:3 And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their appointments for their service.
大卫和以利亚撒的子孙撒督, 以及以他玛的子孙亚希米勒, 把他们的亲族分开班次, 按着他们的职责服事.

24:4 And more sons of Eleazar were found as heads of the men than the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them to the sons of Eleazar to be sixteen heads over the house of the fathers, and to the sons of Ithamar over the house of the fathers were eight heads.
后来发现以利亚撒的子孙, 比以他玛的子孙更多作首领的, 就把他们分开班次; 以利亚撒子孙中作首领的, 按着他们的家族有十六人; 以他玛子孙中作首领的, 按着他们的家族有八人.

24:5 They divided them by lot all alike, for they were commanders of the sanctuary and commanders of God from among the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
以抽签的方式平均地把他们分开, 因为在以利亚撒的子孙中和以他玛的子孙中都有人在圣所作领袖, 以及在神面前作领袖.

24:6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them before the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites, one father’s house drawn by Lot for Eleazar and one drawn by lot for Ithamar.

24:31 And lots were also cast for these, just as their brothers, the sons of Aaron, before David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families for the priests and for the Levites the fathers, on the principle of the chief and younger brother alike.
他们在大卫王,撒督,亚希米勒, 以及祭司和利未人的家族首领面前也抽了签, 好像他们的亲族亚伦的子孙一样; 各家族首领和他们年幼的兄弟都一样抽了签.

I Chronicles - Chapter 25

25:1 And David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who prophesied with stringed instruments, with harps, and with cymbals. And their inventory of the men of the work and for their duty was:

25:6 All these were under the direction of their father in the music of the house of Yahweh, with cymbals, harps, and stringed instruments for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the direction of the king.

大卫王站起来, 说: “我的兄弟, 我的人民哪, 你们要听我的话; 我心里有意要建造一所安放耶和华的约柜的殿宇, 作我们的神的脚凳, 并且我已经准备好要建造.

在我的众子中(因为耶和华赐给我许多儿子), 他拣选了我的儿子所罗门, 坐耶和华的国位, 统治以色列.

耶和华对我说: ‘你的儿子所罗门要建造我的殿宇和庭院; 因为我已经拣选他作我的儿子, 我也要作他的父亲.

“至于你, 我儿所罗门哪, 你要认识耶和华你父亲的神, 一心乐意事奉他, 因为耶和华鉴察万人的心, 知道人的一切心思意念. 你若是寻求他, 就必寻见; 你若是离弃他, 他必永远丢弃你.

28:10 Look now, for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it!”

用多少精金做香坛; 又用金子做基路伯, 像车的样子; 基路伯展开翅膀, 遮盖着耶和华的约柜.

28:19 “All this I give you in writing; from the hand of Yahweh he instructed me about all the workings of this plan.”
大卫说: “以上这一切, 就是一切工作的样式, 都是耶和华用手写给我, 使我明白的. ”

28:20 Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do this! Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for Yahweh God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you and will not forsake you until all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh is finished.
大卫又对他的儿子所罗门说: “你要坚强勇敢地去作, 不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶, 因为耶和华神, 就是我的神, 与你同在; 他必不撇下你, 也不丢弃你, 直到耶和华殿的一切工作都完成.

28:21 And behold, the working groups of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all the work for all those willing with the skill for every service, and the commanders and all the people for all your commands.”
你看, 有祭司和利未人的各班次, 办理神殿里的一切事务; 又有各种的巧匠, 在各样的工作上, 乐意帮助你, 并且众领袖和所有的人民, 都听从你的一切命令. ”

I Chronicles - Chapter 29

29:1 Then David the king said to all the assembly, “God has chosen Solomon my son alone, a young man and inexperienced, and the work is great, for the citadel is not for humankind, but for Yahweh God.
大卫王对全体会众说: “我的儿子所罗门, 是神所拣选的, 现在还年幼识浅, 而这工程非常浩大; 因为这殿宇不是为人建造, 而是为耶和华神建造的.

29:2 So I have provided for the house of my God according to all my strength, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and the wood for the things of wood, along with an abundance of onyx stones, stones for settings, stones of turquoise, and variegated stones, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster stones.
我为我神的殿已经尽了我的力量, 预备了金子做金器, 银子做银器, 铜做铜器, 铁做铁器, 木做木器; 还有红玛瑙,用作镶嵌的宝石,彩石和各样的宝石, 以及很多大理石.

29:3 And moreover, with respect to my provisions for the house of my God I have a treasure of gold and silver that I have given to the house of my God above all that I have provided for the holy house:
不但这样, 因我爱慕我神的殿, 就在我为建造圣殿预备的一切以外, 又把我自己积蓄的金银献给我神的殿:

29:4 three thousand talents of gold from the gold of Ophir and seven thousand talents of refined silver to overlay the walls of the houses,
就是俄斐金一百多公吨, 精炼的银子约两百四十公吨, 用来贴殿里的墙壁;

29:5 gold for the golden things and silver for the silver things, for all the work by the hand of skilled craftsmen. Now who will offer willingly, consecrating himself today to Yahweh?”
金子做金器, 银子做银器, 以及匠人手所作的各样巧工. 今日有谁愿意奉献给耶和华呢? ”

29:6 Then the commanders of the families, the commanders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the work of the king offered themselves willingly.
于是各家族的领袖,以色列各支派的领袖,千夫长,百夫长和管理王的事务的领袖, 都乐意奉献.

29:7 And they gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
为了神殿里的需用, 他们奉献了金子一百七十多公吨, 银子三百四十多公吨, 铜约六百二十公吨和铁三千四百公吨.

29:8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of Yahweh under the authority of Jehiel the Gershonite.
有宝石的, 都交到耶和华殿这库房, 由革顺人耶歇经办.

29:9 And the people rejoiced over their freewill offering, for with a whole heart they had willingly offered to Yahweh, and King David also rejoiced with great joy.
人民因这些人自愿奉献而欢喜, 因为他们一心乐意奉献给耶和华, 大卫王也非常欢喜.

29:10 Then David blessed Yahweh in the sight of all the assembly, and David said, “Blessed are you, O Yahweh, God of Israel, our father forever and ever!
所以大卫在全体会众面前称颂耶和华, 说: “耶和华我们的祖先以色列的神, 是应当称颂的, 从亘古直到永远.

29:11 To you, O Yahweh, is the greatness and the power and the splendor and the glory and the strength, for everything in the heavens and in the earth. Yours, O Yahweh, is the kingdom and exaltation over all as head!
耶和华啊, 尊大,能力,荣耀,胜利和威严, 都是你的; 因为天上地下的万有都是你的; 耶和华啊, 国度是你的, 你超越万有, 你是至高的.

29:12 And wealth and glory are from you, and you rule over all. And in your hand is power and might. And in your hand is power to make great and to give strength to all.
富足和尊荣都从你而来, 你也统治万有. 在你的手里有力量和权能; 人的尊大,强盛都是出于你的手.

29:13 And now, our God, we give thanks to you and offer praise to the name of your splendor.
我们的神啊, 现在我们要称颂你, 赞美你荣耀的名.

29:14 And indeed, who am I, and who are my people that we retain power to offer according to these offerings willingly? For everything is from you, and from your hand we have given to you.
我算什么? 我的人民又算什么? 竟有力量这样乐意奉献? 因为万物都是从你而来, 我们只是把从你手里得来的, 奉献给你.

29:15 For we are strangers before you and sojourners like all our ancestors. Our days are like the shadow upon earth, and there is no hope of abiding.
我们在你面前是客旅, 是寄居的, 像我们的列祖一样; 我们在世上的日子好像影儿, 没有指望.

29:16 O Yahweh our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build for you a house for your holy name is from your hand, and all of it is yours.
耶和华我们的神啊, 我们预备的这一切财物, 要为你的圣名建造殿宇, 都是从你而来的, 也都是属于你的.

29:17 And I know, my God, that you yourself test the heart and are pleased with uprightness. I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these things, and now I have seen your people who are found here willingly offer to you.
我的神啊, 我知道你察验人心, 喜悦正直; 至于我, 我以正直的心甘愿奉献这一切; 现在我也非常欢喜看见你在这里的人民, 都甘愿奉献给你.

29:18 O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors, keep this forever as a plan and thoughts of the heart of your people, and establish their heart toward you.
耶和华我们列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列的神啊, 求你永远保守这一件事, 就是使你的子民常存这心思意念, 坚定他们的心归向你.

29:19 Grant to Solomon my son a heart of peace to keep your commands, your statutes, and your regulations to do everything, and to build the citadel for which I have provided.”
求你赐给我的儿子所罗门专一的心, 谨守你的诫命,法度和律例, 作成这一切事, 用我所预备的一切来建造殿宇. ”

29:20 And David said to all the assembly, “Bless Yahweh your God!” And all the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. And they bowed down and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.
大卫对全体会众说: “你们应当称颂耶和华你们的神. ”于是全体会众就称颂耶和华他们列祖的神, 俯伏敬拜耶和华和王.

29:21 And they offered sacrifices to Yahweh, and on that next day they offered burnt offerings to Yahweh: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
第二天, 他们向耶和华献祭, 他们向耶和华献上燔祭; 那一天他们献了公牛一千头,公绵羊一千只,羊羔一千只, 以及同献的奠祭, 又为以色列众人献了许多祭.

29:22 And they ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great joy. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and they anointed him commander for Yahweh, and Zadok the priest.
那一天, 他们十分喜乐地在耶和华面前吃喝. 他们再次表示拥立大卫的儿子所罗门作王, 膏他为耶和华作君王, 又膏撒督作祭司.

29:23 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of Yahweh as king in place of David his father. And he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上, 接续他父亲大卫作王; 他凡事亨通, 以色列众人都听从他.

29:24 And all the officials and mighty warriors, and also all the sons of King David, pledged allegiance to King Solomon.
众领袖和勇士, 以及大卫王的众子, 都顺服所罗门王.

29:25 And Yahweh made Solomon exceedingly great in the sight of all Israel, and he bestowed upon him royal splendor that was not bestowed upon any king before him in Israel.
耶和华使所罗门在以色列众人面前非常尊大, 又赐给他君王的威严, 胜过在他以前所有的以色列王.

29:26 And David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
耶西的儿子大卫作全以色列的王.

29:27 And the days that he reigned over Israel were forty years. In Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.
大卫作王统治以色列的日子共四十年; 他在希伯仑作王七年, 在耶路撒冷作王三十三年.

29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, wealth, and honor. And Solomon his son reigned in his place.
大卫年纪老迈, 寿数满足, 享尽富足和尊荣才去世; 他的儿子所罗门接续他作王.

29:29 Now the words of King David, from the first to the last, see, they are written among the words of Samuel the seer, and among the words of Nathan the prophet, and among the words of Gad the seer,
大卫王一生始末的事迹, 都记在撒母耳先见的书上,拿单先知的书上和迦得先见的书上.

29:30 with all the accounts of his kingdom, his power, and the times that came upon him, and upon Israel, and upon all the kingdoms of the earth.
还有他治理的一切国事, 他的英勇事迹, 以及在他身上和以色列并各地列国发生的事迹, 都记在这些书上.

II Chronicles - Chapter 1

1:1 And Solomon the son of David strengthened himself concerning his kingdom, and Yahweh his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.
大卫的儿子所罗门巩固了他对以色列的统治, 耶和华他的神也和他同在, 使他十分尊大.

1:2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the leaders for all Israel, the heads of the families.
所罗门召唤全体以色列人,千夫长,百夫长,审判官,以色列的各领袖和众家族的首领.

1:3 And Solomon and the whole assembly with him went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for the tent of assembly of God that Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the desert was there.
所罗门和全体会众一同到基遍的高地去, 因为那里有神的会幕, 就是耶和华的仆人摩西在旷野所做的.

1:4 (But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiriath-Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for David had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.)
至于神的约柜, 大卫已经从基列．耶琳抬到他预备好的地方, 因为他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜盖搭了一个帐幕.

1:5 And the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh. And Solomon and the assembly sought it out.
户珥的孙子,乌利的儿子比撒列所做的铜祭坛也在那里, 在耶和华的会幕前面; 所罗门和会众同去求问耶和华.

所罗门上到耶和华会幕前面的铜祭坛旁边, 在坛上献上了一千只燔祭牲.

1:7 On that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give to you.”

所罗门对神说: “你曾经向我的父亲大卫大施慈爱, 使我接续他作王.

1:9 Now, O Yahweh God, let your word to David my father be fulfilled, for you yourself have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
耶和华神啊, 现在求你实现你向我的父亲大卫应许的话; 因为你立了我作王统治这好像地上的尘土那么多的人民.

1:10 Now, give to me wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can judge this, your great people?”
现在求你赐我智慧和知识, 使我可以领导这人民; 否则, 谁能治理这众多的人民呢? ”

1:11 Then God said to Solomon, “Because this was with your heart and you did not ask for wealth, possessions, honor, and the lives of your enemies, and also did not ask for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge that you might judge my people over whom I have made you king,
神对所罗门说: “你既然有这个心意: 不求富足,财产,尊荣, 也不求你敌人的性命, 又不求长寿, 只为自己求智慧和知识, 好治理我的子民, 就是我立你作王统治的人民,

1:12 wisdom and knowledge is given to you. And I will also give to you wealth, possessions, and honor, the like of which was not had by the kings who were before you, nor will there be the like after you.”
因此, 智慧和知识必赐给你, 我也把富足,财产和尊荣赐给你; 在你以前的列王从没有这样, 在你以后的也必没有这样. ”

1:15 And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem like the stones. And he made cedar as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that were in the Shephelah.
王在耶路撒冷积存的金银好像石头那么多, 积存的香柏木好像平原的桑树那么多.

1:16 And Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue. The traders of the king received them from Kue at a price.
所罗门拥有的马, 都是从埃及和古厄运来的, 是王的商人从古厄照价买来的.

1:17 They went up and exported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels. And these were likewise exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
他们从埃及运上来的车, 每辆价银六千八百四十克; 马每匹一千七百一十克. 赫人众王和亚兰众王的车马, 也都是这样经这些商人的手买来的.

II Chronicles - Chapter 2

2:1 And Solomon planned to build a house for the name of Yahweh and a royal palace for himself.
所罗门决意要为耶和华的名建造殿宇, 又为自己建造王宫.

2:2 And Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to bear burdens and eighty thousand quarriers in the hill country, and three thousand six hundred men to supervise them.
于是, 所罗门选派了七万人作挑夫, 八万人在山上凿石, 三千六百人作督工.

2:3 And Solomon sent word to Huram king of Tyre, saying, “As you have dealt with David my father and sent cedar to him to build for himself a house in which to live, please deal with me.
所罗门派人去见推罗王希兰说: “你怎样待我的父亲大卫, 给他运来香柏木, 为他建造宫殿居住, 请你也这样待我.

2:4 Look, I am building a house for the name of Yahweh my God to dedicate to him, to offer sweet spices of incense before him, and for the regular rows of bread, and burnt offerings for mornings, evenings, Sabbaths, and new moon festivals, and for appointed feasts of Yahweh our God which are everlasting for Israel.
现在我要为耶和华我神的名建造殿宇, 分别为圣献给他, 在他面前焚烧芬芳的香, 经常摆上陈设饼, 每日早晚,安息日,初一, 以及耶和华我们的神所定的节日, 都献上燔祭; 这是以色列人永远的定例.

2:5 And the house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
我要建造的殿宇必须宏伟, 因为我们的神伟大, 超过众神之上.

2:6 Now who indeed has adequate strength to build a house for him? For the heavens and the highest heavens are not able to contain him. Now who am I that I would build a house for him, except to burn incense before him?
但谁能为他建造殿宇呢? 天和天上的天也容不下他; 我是谁, 怎能为他建造殿宇? 我不过在他面前烧香罢了.

2:7 So then, send to me skilled men to work with gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and with purple, crimson, and blue fabric, knowledgeable in engraving, with the skilled men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father has established.
现在请你派一个巧匠到我这里来, 他要精于使用金,银,铜,铁和紫色朱红色蓝色线工作, 并且懂得雕刻, 好与我的父亲大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷预备的巧匠一同工作.

2:8 Send me trees of cedar, cypress, and algum from Lebanon, for I myself know that your servants are knowledgeable in cutting the trees of Lebanon. Now see, my servants will be with your servants
又请你从黎巴嫩运送香柏木,松木和檀香木到我这里来, 因为我知道你的臣仆善于砍伐黎巴嫩的树木; 我的臣仆可以和你的臣仆一同工作.

2:9 to prepare trees in abundance for me, for the house that I am building will be great and wonderful.
给我预备大量的木材, 因为我要建造的那殿宇, 将会十分宏伟.

2:10 Now see, I will provide twenty thousand dry measures of crushed wheat, twenty thousand dry measures of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil to the woodcarvers and those who cut timber.”
至于你的仆人, 就是砍伐树木的人, 我必给他们食物, 就是小麦二万公吨,大麦二万公吨,酒四十万公升,油四十万公升. ”

2:11 Then Huram king of Tyre answered in a letter, and he sent word to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
推罗王希兰回信给所罗门说: “耶和华因为爱自己的子民, 所以立你作他们的王. ”

2:12 Then Huram said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has made the heavens and the earth, who has given to King David a wise son knowing discretion and understanding, who will build for Yahweh a house and a royal palace for himself.
希兰又说: “创造天地的耶和华以色列的神, 是应当称颂的! 因为他赐给大卫王一个有智慧的儿子, 有聪明有见识, 可以为耶和华建造殿宇, 为自己建造王宫.

2:13 So now I have sent a skilled man, knowledgeable and with understanding: my master Huram,
现在我派一个技艺精巧,满有聪明的人来, 他是我父亲希兰的匠人.

2:14 a son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, knowledgeable for working with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and with purple, blue, and crimson fabric, and with fine linen, for engraving any engraving and devising any plan that is given to him, with your skilled men and the skilled men of my lord David your father.
他是但支派一个妇人的儿子, 他的父亲是推罗人. 他精于使用金,银,铜,铁,石,木, 以及紫色蓝色朱红色线和细麻作工, 也能作各样雕刻的工作, 又能设计各样交托他们的巧工. 这人可以和你的巧匠, 以及我主你父亲大卫的巧匠一同工作.

2:15 Now as for the wheat, barley, oil, and wine that my lord mentioned, let him send that to his servants.
我主所说的小麦,大麦,酒和油, 请派人运来给众仆人.

2:16 And we ourselves will cut trees from Lebanon according to all your need, and we will bring them to you on rafts over the sea to Joppa, so that you may bring them up to Jerusalem.”
我们必照着你所需要的, 从黎巴嫩砍下树木, 扎成木筏, 从海上运到约帕, 你可以从那里把它们运上耶路撒冷. ”

2:17 Then Solomon counted all the resident alien men who were in the land of Israel after the census that David his father had taken of them. And there were found one hundred and fifty-three thousand.
所罗门按照他父亲大卫数点的数目, 又数点了住在以色列地所有的外族人, 他们共有十五万三千六百人.

所罗门所做的这一切器皿, 数量很多; 铜的重量无法估计.

4:19 So Solomon made all the objects that were in the house of God: the altar of gold; the tables upon which was the bread of the presence;
所罗门又做了神殿里的一切器具, 就是金坛和放陈设饼的桌子,

4:20 the lampstands, and the lamps for burning according to the custom before the inner sanctuary, of solid gold;
用纯金做的灯台和灯盏, 按定例在内殿门前燃点,

4:21 and the blossoms, the lamps, and the tongs that were of solid gold;
还有灯花,灯盏和烛剪, 都是精金做的.

4:22 and the snuffers, the drinking bowls, the dishes, and the firepans, of solid gold; and the entrance to the house, the inner doors to the most holy place, and the doors to the house of the temple were of gold.
又有剪刀,盘子,调羹和火鼎, 都是用精金做的. 殿门, 就是进入至圣所里面的门和正殿的门, 都是金的.

II Chronicles - Chapter 5

5:1 When all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was finished, Solomon brought the holy objects of David his father: the silver, the gold, and all the objects he had put into the storehouses of the house of God.
所罗门为耶和华的殿所作的一切工程完成了以后, 就把他父亲大卫分别为圣的东西: 金银和一切器皿, 都带来存放在神殿的库房里.

5:2 Then Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the families for the Israelites, to Jerusalem in order to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, which is Zion.
那时, 所罗门把以色列的长老,各支派的首领和以色列人各家族的首领, 都召集到耶路撒冷, 要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城, 就是锡安运上来.

5:3 And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast that is in the seventh month.
于是, 以色列众人在七月的节期来到时, 都聚集到王那里.

5:4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
以色列的众长老来到了, 利未人就抬起约柜.

5:5 And they brought up the ark, the tent of assembly, and all the holy objects that were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up.
他们把约柜,会幕和会幕里的一切神圣器皿都抬上来; 是祭司和利未人把它们抬上来的.

5:6 And King Solomon and the whole community of Israel that was assembled before him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted nor numbered for abundance.
所罗门王和那些聚集到他那里的以色列全体会众, 都在约柜前献上牛羊为祭, 数量无法计算, 不能数点.

5:7 Then the priests brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house, into the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
众祭司把耶和华的约柜抬进放约柜的地方, 就是内殿, 至圣所里面, 放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下.

5:8 The cherubim were spreading their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim were covering the ark and over its poles from above.
基路伯在约柜上面张开翅膀, 遮盖着约柜和抬约柜的杠.

5:9 But the poles were so long that the ends of the poles from the ark were seen from before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from the outside. And they are there until this day.
那两根杠很长, 在内殿前可以看见约柜那里的杠头, 在殿外却看不见; 直到今日, 那两根杠还在那里.

5:10 There was nothing in the ark but the two stone tablets that Moses had put inside at Horeb on which Yahweh had made a covenant with the Israelites when they went out from Egypt.
约柜里只有两块石版, 就是以色列人出埃及以后, 耶和华和他们立约的时候, 摩西在何烈山放进去的.

5:11 And when the priests came out of the sanctuary (for all the priests who were present sanctified themselves without keeping their divisions)
众祭司从圣所里出来的时候(因为所有在场的祭司, 不分班次地全都自洁),

5:12 and all the Levitical singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons, their brothers, dressed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and stringed instruments—they were standing to the east of the altar. And with them outside were one hundred and twenty priests who were trumpet blowers.
全体负责歌唱的利未人和亚萨,希幔,耶杜顿, 以及他们的儿子和亲族, 都穿着细麻布的衣服, 站在祭坛的东边, 敲钹,鼓瑟,弹琴; 和他们在一起的, 还有一百二十个祭司吹号;

5:13 And it was the primary duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard with one voice, to praise and give thanks to Yahweh. And when a sound from the trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments of song was raised to Yahweh—for he is good, because his loyal love is everlasting—then the house, the house of Yahweh, was filled with a cloud.
吹号的和歌唱的都一致同声地赞美称谢耶和华. 他们吹号,敲钹, 用各种乐器高声赞美耶和华, 说: “耶和华是良善的, 他的慈爱永远长存. ”那时云彩充满了那殿, 就是耶和华的殿.

5:14 And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.
由于那云彩的缘故, 祭司都不能侍立供职, 因为神的殿充满了耶和华的荣光.

II Chronicles - Chapter 6

6:1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has decided to dwell in the deep gloom.
那时所罗门说: “耶和华曾说他要住在幽暗之中.

6:2 But I have built for you an exalted house, even a place for you to dwell in forever.”
我已经为你建造了巍峨的殿宇, 作你永远居住的地方. ”

6:3 Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, and all the assembly of Israel were standing.
然后王转过来, 给以色列全体会众祝福, 以色列全体会众都站着.

6:4 And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth with David my father, and with his hands he has fulfilled it, saying,
所罗门说: “耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的! 他亲口对我的父亲大卫应许的, 已亲手作成了, 他说:

6:5 ‘From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt I did not choose a city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in order for my name to be there. Nor did I choose a man to be leader over my people Israel.
‘自从我领我的子民从埃及地出来的那天, 我没有在以色列众支派中, 拣选一座城建造殿宇, 使我的名留在那里; 我也没有拣选一个人作领袖, 统治我的子民以色列.

6:6 But I have chosen my name to be there in Jerusalem, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
我却拣选了耶路撒冷, 使我的名留在那里; 也拣选了大卫, 统治我的子民以色列. ’

6:7 Now, it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
我的父亲大卫有心要为耶和华以色列的神的名建造殿宇.

6:8 But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart,
耶和华却对我的父亲大卫说: ‘你心想要为我的名建造殿宇, 你心意很好;

6:9 but you yourself will not build the house, but your son who will proceed from your loins; he himself will build the house for my name.’
不过不是由你建造殿宇, 而是你的儿子, 你亲生的儿子, 他必为我的名建殿. ’

6:10 Now Yahweh has fulfilled his word that he spoke. I have risen in the place of David my father and am seated on the throne of Israel as Yahweh has spoken. I have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
现在耶和华实现了他的应许, 我已经起来接续我的父亲大卫, 坐上了以色列的王位, 就像耶和华所说的; 我为耶和华以色列的神的名建造了这殿.

6:11 And I have there the ark in which is the covenant of Yahweh that he made with the Israelites.”
我也把约柜安放在殿里, 约柜中有耶和华和以色列人所立的约. ”

6:12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh before all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
所罗门在以色列全体会众面前, 站在耶和华的祭坛前, 张开双手;

6:13 (For Solomon had made a platform of bronze five cubits long and five cubits wide and three cubits high, and placed it in the midst of the outer court.) And he stood upon it, then knelt down on his knees before the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands to heaven.
原来所罗门做了一座铜台, 长两公尺两公寸, 宽两公尺两公寸, 高一公尺三公寸, 安放在外院中. 那时他站在铜台上, 在以色列全体会众面前, 屈膝下跪, 向天张开双手,

6:14 And he said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel, there is none like you, a God in the heavens and on the earth, keeping the covenant and loyal love with your servants who walk before you with all their heart,
说: “耶和华以色列的神啊, 天上地下没有神可以和你相比的, 你向那些一心行在你面前的仆人, 常是守约施慈爱的;

6:15 that you have kept for your servant David my father what you spoke to him. You spoke with your mouth, and by your hand you have fulfilled it on this day.
你对你的仆人我父亲大卫所应许的, 你都遵守了, 你亲口应许, 也亲手成全, 就像今日一样.

6:16 And now, O Yahweh, God of Israel, keep for your servant David, my father, what you have spoken to him, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel before me, if only your sons keep their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’
耶和华以色列的神啊, 你应许你的仆人我父亲大卫说: ‘只要你的子孙谨守他们的行为, 遵守我的律法, 像你在我面前所行的一样, 你就不会断人在我面前坐上以色列的王位. ’现在求你应验这话吧.

6:17 And now, O Yahweh, God of Israel, let your word that you have spoken to your servant David be confirmed.
耶和华以色列的神啊, 现在求你实现你向你的仆人大卫应许的话吧!

6:18 “But will God indeed dwell with humankind upon the earth? Look, the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain you! Surely then this house that I have built will not contain you!
“神真的要和人住在地上吗? 看哪, 天和天上的天也容不下你, 何况我建造的这殿呢?

6:19 But turn to the prayer of your servant and to his plea, O Yahweh my God, to hearken to the pleading and to the prayer that your servant is praying before you,
耶和华我的神啊, 求你垂注你仆人的祷告和祈求, 聆听你仆人在你面前所发的呼喊和祷告.

6:20 that your eyes may be open day and night to this house, to the place that you have promised to place your name there, that you may hear the prayer that your servant has prayed to this place.
求你张开眼睛, 昼夜看顾这殿, 就是看顾你所说要立你名的地方; 求你垂听你仆人向着这地方所发的祷告.

6:21 And listen to the pleas of your servant and your people Israel when they pray toward this place, that you yourself might hear from the place of your dwelling, from the heavens, that you might hear and forgive.
求你垂听你的仆人和你的子民以色列的祈求, 就是他们向着这地方所发的祷告; 求你从天上, 从你的居所垂听, 垂听和赦免.

6:22 “If a man sins against his neighbor and makes him swear an oath and comes with an oath before your altar in this house,
“人若是得罪了邻舍, 有人要他起誓, 他就来到这殿, 在你的祭坛前起誓;

6:23 then may you yourself hear from the heavens and act and judge your servants, to repay the guilty by bringing his way upon his head and to vindicate the righteous by giving to him according to his righteousness.
求你从天上垂听, 施行你的作为, 审判你的仆人, 照着恶人所行的报应在他头上; 宣告义人无罪, 照着他的义行赏赐他.

6:24 “And if your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against you and they repent and confess your name and pray and plead before you in this house,
“如果你的子民以色列得罪了你, 以致在仇敌面前被击败; 后来回心转意, 承认你的名, 在这殿里向你祷告祈求,

6:25 then may you yourself hear from the heavens and forgive the sin of your people Israel and again bring them back to the land that you gave to them and to their ancestors.
求你从天上垂听, 赦免你子民以色列的罪, 领他们归回你赐给他们和他们列祖的土地.

6:26 “When the heavens are stopped up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you and they pray to this place and confess your name and turn back from their sin when you humble them,
“你的子民因得罪了你, 你惩罚他们, 使天闭塞不下雨; 如果他们向着这地方祷告, 承认你的名, 离开他们的罪,

6:27 then may you yourself hear from the heavens and forgive the sin of your servants and your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon your land that you have given to your people as an inheritance.
求你在天上垂听, 赦免你的仆人和你的子民以色列的罪, 把他们当行的正道指教他们, 降雨在你的地上, 就是你赐给你的子民作产业的地上.

6:28 “If there is a famine in the land; if there is disease, blight, mildew, locust, and caterpillar; if it happens that his enemy lays siege to him in the land and his gates; any kind of plague, any kind of disease,
“国中若是有饥荒,瘟疫,旱风,霉烂,蝗虫,蚂蚱, 或是有仇敌围困城镇, 或是有什么灾祸, 什么疾病,

6:29 then any prayer, any plea that is made by any person and by all your people Israel, each one who knows his own affliction and his own anguish and who spreads out his hands to this house,
你的子民以色列, 无论是个别或是全体, 自知自己的灾祸和痛苦, 向着这殿张开双手祷告或祈求,

6:30 then may you yourself hear from the heavens, your dwelling place, and forgive and give to each according to all his ways, since you know the heart of the children of humankind,
求你从天上你的居所垂听和赦免他们, 你是知道人心的, 你必照着各人所行的报应各人; 因为只有你知道世人的心.

6:31 that they may fear you and walk in your ways all the days that they are alive upon the face of the land that you have given to our ancestors.
使他们在你赐给我们列祖的地上, 一生一世敬畏你, 遵行你的道路.

6:32 “And also, with respect to the foreigner, he who is not of your people Israel, but comes from a distant land, for the sake of your great name and your powerful hand and outstretched arm, when he comes and prays to this house,
“至于在你的子民以色列以外的外族人, 他们为了你的大名,你大能的手和伸出来的膀臂, 从远方而来; 他们来向着这殿祷告的时候,

6:33 then may you yourself hear from the heavens, from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner asks of you, so that all peoples of earth will know of your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that your name possesses this house that I have built.
求你从天上, 从你的居所垂听他们, 照着外族人向你呼求的一切而行, 使地上万民都认识你的名, 敬畏你, 像你的子民以色列一样; 又使他们知道我建造的这殿, 是奉为你名的所在.

6:34 “When your people go out to battle against their enemy according to the way that you have sent them, and they pray to you toward this city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name,
“如果你的子民在你派他们出去的路上, 和仇敌作战, 他们向着你拣选的这城, 和向着我为你的名建造的这殿向你祷告,

6:35 then may you hear their prayer and their pleas from the heavens and uphold their case.
求你从天上垂听他们的祷告祈求, 使他们得胜.

6:36 When they sin against you—for there is no person who does not sin—and you become angry with them and place them before their enemy that they carry them away as captives to a land far or near,
“如果你的子民得罪了你(因为世上没有不犯罪的人), 你向他们发怒, 把他们交在仇敌面前, 以致仇敌把他们掳到外地或远或近;

6:37 but if they repent in the land where they were taken captive and repent and beg you for mercy in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned and acted perversely and done wickedly,
如果他们在被掳去的地方回心转意, 在被掳去的地方祈求你说: ‘我们犯了罪了, 我们作了孽了, 我们行了恶了. ’

6:38 and we return to you,’ with their whole heart and with all their inmost being in the land of their captivity where they took them captive, and if they pray toward their land that you have given to their ancestors and the city that you have chosen and to the house that I have built for your name,
如果他们在被掳去的地方一心一意归向你, 又向着他们自己的地, 就是你赐给他们列祖的地, 和向着你拣选的这城, 以及向着我为你的名建造的这殿祷告,

6:39 then may you hear their prayer and their pleas from the heavens, from your dwelling place, and uphold their case and forgive your people who sinned against you.
求你从天上, 从你的居所垂听他们的祷告祈求, 为他们伸冤, 赦免得罪了你的那些子民.

6:40 Now, O my God, please let your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayer of this place!
“我的神啊, 现在求你张开眼睛, 求你的耳朵垂听在这地方献上的祷告.

6:41 “And now arise, O Yahweh God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength! O Yahweh God, let the priests be clothed with salvation, and let your holy ones rejoice in your goodness!
现在, 耶和华神啊, 求你起来, 愿你和你有大能的约柜进入你安息的地方; 耶和华神啊, 愿你的祭司都披上救恩; 愿你的圣民在福乐中欢欣.

6:42 O Yahweh God, do not turn away the face of your anointed one! Remember the loyal love of your servant, David!”
耶和华神啊, 求你不要转脸不顾你所膏的人: 愿你记念你向你仆人大卫所施的慈爱. ”

II Chronicles - Chapter 7

7:1 And when Solomon finished praying, then fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
所罗门祷告完了, 有火从天上降下来, 烧尽了燔祭和其他的祭品; 耶和华的荣光充满了那殿.

7:2 And the priests were not able to go into the house of Yahweh, for the glory of Yahweh had filled the house.
因为耶和华的荣光充满了耶和华的殿, 祭司都不能进入耶和华的殿.

7:3 When all the Israelites saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, they knelt down with their faces to the ground on the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loyal love is everlasting.
那火降下, 耶和华的荣光停在殿上的时候, 以色列众人都看见; 于是他们在铺石地跪下, 俯伏在地, 敬拜称颂耶和华说: “耶和华是良善的, 他的慈爱永远长存. ”

7:4 Then the king and all the people were offering a sacrifice before Yahweh.
王和全体人民都在耶和华面前献祭.

7:5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
所罗门王献上了二万二千头牛,十二万只羊为祭. 这样, 王和全体人民为神的殿举行了奉献礼.

7:6 And the priests stood at their posts with the Levites, with the instruments of the song of Yahweh that King David had made to give thanks to Yahweh—for his loyal love is everlasting—whenever David offered praise by their hand. Now the priests sounded trumpets standing opposite them, and all Israel stood.
祭司都站在自己的岗位上; 利未人拿着大卫王所做的耶和华的乐器, 称颂耶和华, 因为他的慈爱永远长存; 大卫借着他们赞美耶和华的时候, 祭司在众人前面吹号; 以色列众人都站着.

7:7 And Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that was before the house of Yahweh, for there he had made the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, for the bronze altar that Solomon had made was not able to hold the burnt offerings, cereal offerings, and the fat.
所罗门把耶和华殿前院子当中的地方分别为圣, 在那里献上了燔祭和平安祭的脂肪, 因为所罗门所做的铜坛容不下所有的燔祭,素祭和脂肪.

7:8 And Solomon held a feast at that time of seven days. And all Israel was with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo-Hamath to the river of Egypt.
那时, 所罗门和全体以色列人, 就是来自哈马口, 直到埃及小河的一群极大的会众, 一起举行了七天的节期.

7:9 And on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly, for they held the dedication of the altar seven days and the feast seven days.
第八天举行了严肃会, 又举行献坛礼七天, 举行了七天的节期.

7:10 And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents rejoicing and festive of heart on account of the goodness that Yahweh had done for David, Solomon, and Israel his people.
七月二十三日, 王遣散众民回家; 他们因看见耶和华向大卫,所罗门和他的子民以色列所施的恩惠, 心里都欢喜快乐.

7:11 And Solomon finished the house of Yahweh and the house of the king. And all that came into the heart of Solomon to do with respect to the house of Yahweh and his own house he accomplished.
这样, 所罗门完成了耶和华的殿宇和王宫. 在耶和华的殿里或所罗门的宫中, 所罗门心里要作的, 都顺利地作成了.

7:12 Then Yahweh appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
夜间, 耶和华向所罗门显现, 对他说: “我已经听了你的祷告, 也为我自己选择了这地方作献祭的殿.

7:13 When I hold back the heavens so that there is not rain, and when I command the locust to devour the earth, and if I send disease among my people,
如果我使天闭塞不下雨, 或吩咐蝗虫吞吃这地的土产, 或差遣瘟疫到我的子民中间来;

7:14 then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and will pray and will seek my face and will turn from their evil ways, then I myself shall hear from the heavens and will forgive their sins and heal their land.
这称为我名下的子民, 若是谦卑,祷告,寻求我的面, 转离他们的恶行, 我必从天上垂听, 赦免他们的罪, 医治他们的地.

7:15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
现在我的眼睛必张开, 我的耳朵必垂听在这地所发的祷告.

7:16 And now I have chosen and consecrated this house for my name to be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.
现在我拣选了这殿, 把它分别为圣, 使我的名永远在这殿中; 我的眼和我的心也常常留在那里.

7:17 Now as for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked and do according to all that I have commanded you and will keep my ordinances and judgments,
至于你, 你若是在我面前行事为人像你的父亲大卫所行的那样, 遵行我吩咐你的一切话, 谨守我的律例和典章,

7:18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘A man shall not be cut off for you from ruling over Israel.’
我就必巩固你的国位, 好像我和你父亲大卫所立的约说: ‘你的子孙必不会断人作君王统治以色列. ’

7:19 “But if you turn yourselves away and forsake my ordinances and my commandments which I have given before you all and will go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
“可是, 如果你转离我, 丢弃我在你们面前颁布的律例和诫命, 去事奉和敬拜别的神,

7:20 then I will uproot them from upon my land that I have given to them, and this house that I have consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face, and I will make it a proverb and a taunt among all the nations.
我就必把以色列人从我赐给他们的土地上拔出来, 并且我为自己的名分别为圣的这殿, 我也必从我面前舍弃, 使这殿在万民中成为笑谈和讥笑的对象.

7:21 And as for this house, which was exalted, all who pass by it will be appalled and will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this land and to this house?’
这殿虽然高大, 但将来经过的人, 都必惊讶, 说: ‘耶和华为什么这样对待这地和这殿呢? ’

7:22 Then they will say, ‘Because they forsook Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore he has brought upon them all this evil.’ ”
人必回答说: ‘是因为这地的人离弃了耶和华他们列祖的神, 就是领他们从埃及地出来的神, 去亲近别的神, 敬拜和事奉他们; 所以, 耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们. ’”

II Chronicles - Chapter 8

8:1 And it happened that at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh and his own house,
所罗门建造耶和华的殿和自己的王宫, 用了二十年才完成.

8:2 Solomon also built the cities that Huram had given to him, and he settled the Israelites in them.
所罗门又修筑希兰送给他的那些城市, 使以色列人住在那里.

8:3 And Solomon went to Hamath-Zobah and laid siege upon it.
所罗门到哈玛琐巴去, 占领了那地方.

8:4 And he built Tadmor in the desert, and he built all the storage cities in Hamath.
所罗门又修筑了在旷野的达莫, 和他在哈玛建造的一切贮藏货物的城市.

8:5 He also built Upper Beth-Horon and Lower Beth-Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;
他又建造上伯．和仑和下伯．和仑, 成了有墙,有门和有闩的设防城;

8:6 Baalath and all the storage cities that belonged to Solomon; all the cities for chariots and cities for horses; and any desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
又建造巴拉和所罗门拥有的一切贮藏货物的城市, 以及一切屯放战车的城市, 马兵驻扎的城市, 和所罗门在耶路撒冷,黎巴嫩, 以及他统治的全境内喜爱建造的一切.

8:7 All the people who remained from the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites who were not from Israel,
至于以色列人以外的赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,希未人和耶布斯人剩下来的人民,

8:8 from the descendants who were left over after them in the land, whom the Israelites had not destroyed, Solomon conscripted them as forced labor until this day.
他们的子孙仍然留在那地, 以色列人没有消灭他们. 于是, 所罗门征召他们作苦工, 直到今日.

8:9 But from the Israelites Solomon did not give as servants for his work, but they were men of war, his commanders of his officers, and commanders of his chariots and his horses.
唯独以色列人, 所罗门没有驱使他们为他的工程作奴仆; 他们作了他的战士,军长,车兵长和马兵长.

8:10 And these were the commanders of the garrisons that belonged to King Solomon, two hundred and fifty who exercised authority over the people.
所罗门王有二百五十名监工, 监督工人.

8:11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David, king of Israel, for those places to which the ark of Yahweh has come are holy.
所罗门把法老的女儿从大卫城, 带到他为她建造的宫里去; 因为他说: “我的妻子不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里, 因为耶和华的约柜所到的地方都是神圣的. ”

8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of Yahweh that he had built before the portico,
那时, 所罗门在耶和华的坛上, 就是在走廊前面他建筑的坛上, 向耶和华献上燔祭,

8:13 as was the daily requirement, to offer up according to the commandments of Moses for Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and the three annual feasts: the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.
又照着摩西的吩咐, 在安息日,初一和一年三次特定的节期, 就是除酵节,七七节,住棚节, 献上每日当献的.

8:14 And in accord with the ordinance of David his father he appointed working groups of priests for their service, Levites for their responsibilities for praise and cultic service before the priests according to the daily requirement, and the gatekeepers in their working groups, gate by gate. For thus David the man of God had commanded.
所罗门又照着他父亲大卫所定的, 设立了祭司的班次, 执行他们的事奉, 又派遣利未人, 各守本职, 赞美耶和华, 在祭司面前照着每日的本分事奉. 又派守门的按着班次看守各门. 因为这是神人大卫的吩咐.

8:15 And they did not turn aside from the commandment of the king concerning the priests and the Levites concerning anything, and concerning the treasury rooms.
王对祭司和利未人所吩咐的, 无论是什么事务, 或是有关库房的事, 他们都没有违抗.

8:16 And Solomon accomplished all the work from the day the foundation stone was laid for the house of Yahweh until its completion, and the house of Yahweh was finished.
从耶和华的殿奠基的日子起, 直到建成, 所罗门的一切工程都进行顺利. 这样, 耶和华的殿就完成了.

8:17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-Geber, and to Elath, on the edge of the sea in the land of Edom.
那时, 所罗门往以东地, 到靠近海边的以旬．迦别和以禄去了.

8:18 And Huram sent to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowledgeable of the sea. And they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and from there they collected four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
希兰派他的臣仆, 把船只和熟悉航海的仆人, 送到所罗门那里. 他们和所罗门的仆人一同去到俄斐, 从那里得了一万五千公斤金子, 运到所罗门王那里.

II Chronicles - Chapter 9

9:1 Now the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, with much wealth and camels, bearing spices and much gold and precious stones. And she came to Solomon and told him all that was on her mind.
示巴女王听见所罗门的名声, 就来到耶路撒冷, 要用难题试试所罗门. 跟随她的人很多, 又有骆驼驮着香料,大批黄金和宝石. 她来到所罗门那里, 就把她心里所有的难题, 都对所罗门说出来.

9:2 And Solomon answered all her questions. Not a word was hidden from Solomon that he did not answer for her.
所罗门把她的一切难题, 都给她解答了; 没有一样难倒所罗门, 不能给她解答的.

9:3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon and the house he had built,
示巴女王看见所罗门的智慧和他建造的宫殿,

9:4 and the food of his table, and the position of his officers, the duty of his servants and their clothing, his cupbearers and their clothing, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of Yahweh, there was no longer any breath in her.
他席上的食物, 群臣的座位, 仆人的侍候和他们的服饰, 酒政和酒政的服饰, 以及所罗门在耶和华殿里所献的燔祭, 就十分惊讶.

9:5 And she said to the king, “The word which I heard in my land concerning your words and your wisdom is true,
于是她对王说: “我在本国听见关于你的事和你的智慧, 实在是真的.

9:6 but I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes. And behold, half the greatness of your wisdom was not reported to me; you surpass the rumors that I had heard.
我先前不信那些话, 等到我来了, 亲眼看见了, 才知道你智慧的伟大, 人告诉我的还不到一半. 你实在是见面胜似闻名.

9:7 Blessed are your men, and blessed are these your servants who stand before you regularly and hear your wisdom!
属你的人是有福的, 你的臣仆是有福的, 因为他们可以常常侍立在你面前, 聆听你的智慧.

9:8 Blessed be Yahweh your God who took delight in you, to put you on his throne as king for Yahweh your God! Because your God loved Israel, he established him forever and has put you over them as king to do justice and righteousness!”
耶和华你的神是应当称颂的, 因他喜悦你, 使你坐在他的王位上, 为耶和华你的神作王; 因为你的神爱以色列人, 要永远坚立他们, 所以立你作他们的王, 好秉公行义. ”

9:9 And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great amount of spices and precious stones. And there were no spices such as those that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
于是示巴女王把约四千公斤金子,大批香料和宝石送给所罗门王; 示巴女王送给所罗门王的香料, 是犹大地从来没有过的.

9:10 Moreover the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir brought algum wood and precious stones.
希兰的仆人和所罗门的仆人从俄斐把黄金运来, 也把檀香木和宝石运了来.

9:11 And the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, and lyres and harps for the singers from the algum wood. And there was not seen anything like them before in the land of Judah.
王用檀香木为耶和华的殿和王宫作了台阶, 又为唱歌的人作了琴瑟; 像这样的东西, 是在犹大地从来没有见过的.

9:12 Now King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba every desired thing she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. Then she turned and went to her land, she and her servants.
所罗门王按着示巴女王带来给他的, 回送她礼物; 此外, 还把女王所愿所求的, 都送给她, 于是女王和她的臣仆都返回本国去了.

9:13 And it happened that the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
所罗门每年所得的金子, 共重两万三千公斤,

9:14 besides the gold and silver the traders and merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought.
另外, 还有从商人和行商运来的, 阿拉伯诸王和本国的各总督, 都把金银运来给所罗门.

9:15 And King Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each shield.
所罗门王用锤炼好的金子做了二百面大盾牌, 每一面大盾牌用锤炼好的金子七公斤.

9:16 And he made three hundred small shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels went into each small shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又用锤炼好的金子做了三百面小盾牌, 每一面小盾牌用锤炼好的金子约三公斤; 王把这些盾牌都放在黎巴嫩林宫.

9:17 And the king made a large ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold.
王用象牙做了一个大宝座, 包上纯金.

9:18 And the throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to the throne. And there were armrests on each side. And by the seat were two lions standing beside the armrests.
宝座有六级台阶, 又用金脚凳和宝座相连, 座位两边都有扶手, 扶手旁边各有一只狮子站立.

9:19 And twelve lions were standing there on each of the six steps on each end. And there was nothing like it made in all the kingdom.
六级台阶上共有十二只狮子站立; 每级两只, 一左一右; 在列国中都没有这样做的.

9:20 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. Silver was not valued as anything in the days of Solomon.
所罗门王的一切杯爵都是金的; 黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金做的; 在所罗门的时代, 银子算不得什么.

9:21 For the ships of the king went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish came carrying gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
因为王的船只和希兰的仆人一同到他施去; 往他施的船只每三年回来一次, 载着金银,象牙,猿猴和孔雀回来.

9:22 Thus King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
所罗门王的财富和智慧, 胜过世上的列王.

9:23 And all the kings of the earth sought the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God put in his heart.
世上的列王都求见所罗门的面, 要听神赐给他的智慧.

9:24 And each of them brought his gifts, objects of silver, objects of gold, cloaks, myrrh, spices, horses, and mules, as an amount year by year.
他们各人带来的礼物有: 银器,金器,衣服,兵器,香料,骡马; 每年都有一定的数量.

9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
所罗门有四千马廊的车马, 还有马兵一万二千, 他把这些人马安置在屯车城和耶路撒冷, 就是与王在一起.

9:26 And he ruled over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, to the boundary of Egypt.
所罗门统治列王, 从幼发拉底河到非利士地, 直到埃及的边界.

9:27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar as the sycamore trees that are in the Shephelah for abundance.
王在耶路撒冷使银子好像石头, 使香柏木好像平原的桑树那么多.

9:28 And the horses were imported from Egypt and from all lands for Solomon.
人们从埃及和各地把马匹运到所罗门那里.

9:29 As for the remainder of the words of Solomon from the first to the last, are they not written in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer, concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
所罗门其余的事迹, 一生的始末, 不是都记在拿单先知的记录上, 示罗人亚希雅的预言上, 以及先见易多论到尼八的儿子耶罗波安的启示录上吗?

9:30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
所罗门在耶路撒冷作王统治全以色列共四十年.

9:31 And Solomon slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
所罗门和他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在他父亲大卫的城里; 他的儿子罗波安接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 10

10:1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
罗波安到示剑去, 因为全体以色列人都去了示剑, 要立他作王.

10:2 And it happened that when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it—now he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon—Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
那时, 尼八的儿子耶罗波安, 因为逃避所罗门王, 住在埃及; 他一听见这事, 就从埃及回来.

10:3 And they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and all Israel went, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
他们派人去叫耶罗波安回来; 他就和全体以色列人来见罗波安, 对他说:

10:4 “Your father made our yoke heavy. Now, therefore, lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.”
“你父亲使我们所负的轭甚重, 现在求你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的劳役和重轭, 我们就服事你. ”

10:5 And he said to them, “In three days return to me again.” And the people went away.
罗波安对他们说: “三天以后你们再来见我吧! ”众人就离去了.

10:6 Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the elders who had been serving before Solomon his father when he was alive, saying, “What word do you advise to answer this people?”
罗波安王和一些在他父亲所罗门在世的时候, 侍立在所罗门面前的老人商议, 说: “你们有什么提议, 我好回复这班民众呢? ”

10:7 And they said to him, “If you will be good to this people and please them, then speak good words to them. Then they will be your servants forever.”
他们对他说: “如果王善待人民, 使他们喜悦, 对他们说好话, 他们就必永远作你的仆人. ”

10:8 But he forsook the advice of the elders that advised him and took counsel of the young men who had grown up with him who were serving before him.
王不接受这些老人的意见, 却去和那些同他一起长大, 侍立在他面前的年轻人商议,

10:9 And he said to them, “What do you advise that we should say in return to this people, who said to me, ‘Lighten the yoke that your father has put upon us’?”
问他们: “这人民对我说: 求你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的重轭吧. 你们有什么提议, 我好回复他们呢? ”

10:10 Then the young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Thus you should say to this people who have said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, so you yourself should lighten it for us.’ Thus you should say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.
那些同他一起长大的年轻人对他说: “这人民对王说: ‘你父亲使我们所负的轭甚重, 现在求你减轻些吧. ’王要这样对他们说: ‘我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗呢.

10:11 So now, my father laid upon you a heavy yoke, but I myself will add to the yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I myself will do so with scorpions.’ ”
我父亲把重轭加在你们身上, 我必使你们负更重的轭; 我父亲用鞭打你们, 我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们. ’”

10:12 Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had spoken, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”
耶罗波安和全体人民都遵照罗波安王所说“你们第三天再来见我”的话, 第三天来见罗波安.

10:13 And the king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the advice of the elders.
罗波安王很严厉地回答他们. 罗波安王不接受老人的意见,

10:14 And he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “I will make your yoke heavy, and I myself will add to it. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will do so with scorpions.”
却照着年轻人的主意对他们说: “我父亲使你们负重轭, 我必使你们负更重的轭; 我父亲用鞭子责打你们, 我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们. ”

10:15 So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turning of events from God, so that Yahweh might fulfill his word that he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
王不听从人民的要求, 这事原是出于神, 为要实现耶和华借着示罗人亚希雅对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话.

10:16 So all Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, and the people answered the king, saying, “What portion is there for us in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Each to your tents, O Israel! Now look to your own house, David!” And all Israel went to their own tents.
以色列人见王不听他们的要求, 就对王说: “我们和大卫有什么关系呢? 我们和耶西的儿子并不相干. 以色列人哪, 各回各家去吧, 大卫啊, 现在只顾你自己的家吧. ”于是全体以色列人都回自己的家去了.

10:17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam ruled over them.
只有那些住在犹大众城镇的以色列人, 罗波安仍然作他们的王.

10:18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him with stones, and he died. Then King Rehoboam hastily went up into the chariot to flee to Jerusalem.
罗波安王差派了监管苦工的哈多兰到以色列人那里去, 以色列人就用石头把他打死了. 罗波安王急忙上车, 逃回耶路撒冷去了.

10:19 So Israel has rebelled against the house of David until this day.
这样, 以色列人背叛了大卫家, 直到今日.

II Chronicles - Chapter 11

11:1 When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
罗波安回到耶路撒冷, 就召集犹大家和便雅悯家, 共十八万人, 都是精兵, 要和以色列人交战, 好把王国夺回, 再归自己.

11:2 But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,
但耶和华的话临到神人示玛雅, 说:

11:3 “Say to Rehoboam, son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
“你要告诉所罗门的儿子,犹大王罗波安, 以及所有住在犹大和便雅悯的以色列人, 说:

11:4 ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Do not go up, and do not fight against your brothers. Return, each man to his house, for this matter has come from me.” ’ ” So they obeyed the words of Yahweh and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
‘耶和华这样说: 你们不可上去, 也不可和你们的兄弟交战. 你们各自回家去吧, 因为这事是出于我. ’”于是他们听从耶和华的话, 都回家, 不去攻打耶罗波安.

11:5 And Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built cities as strongholds in Judah.
罗波安住在耶路撒冷, 他在犹大建造了多座设防城.

11:6 He built Bethlehem, Etah, Tekoa,
他修筑了伯利恒,以坦,提哥亚,

11:7 Beth-Zur, Socoh, Adullam,
伯．夙,梭哥,亚杜兰,

11:8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
迦特,玛利沙,西弗,

11:9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
亚多莱音,拉吉,亚西加,

11:10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, fortified cities that are in Judah and in Benjamin.
琐拉,亚雅仑,希伯仑; 这些都是犹大和便雅悯境内的设防城.

11:11 And he strengthened the fortifications and put commanders in them, along with stores of food, olive oil, and wine.
他又巩固这些设防城, 在城里设军长, 贮备粮食,油和酒.

11:12 And in all the cities he put shields and spears, and he greatly strengthened them. So he had Judah and Benjamin.
又在各城装备了大盾牌和矛枪, 使这些城市十分坚固. 这样, 犹大和便雅悯都在他统治之下.

11:13 Now the priests and the Levites who were throughout all Israel took their stand with him from all their territories.
全以色列的祭司和利未人, 都从各地来归向罗波安.

11:14 For the Levites left their pasturelands and their property and came to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to Yahweh.
利未人放弃了他们的草场和产业, 来到犹大和耶路撒冷, 是因为耶罗波安和他的儿子排斥他们, 不准他们作祭司事奉耶和华.

11:15 And he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat idols and for the bull calves that he had made.
耶罗波安为邱坛,公山羊神, 以及他铸造的牛犊, 自己设立了祭司.

11:16 Then after them, from all the tribes of Israel, those who set their heart to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to offer to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
以色列众支派中所有定意寻求耶和华以色列的神的, 都随着利未人来到耶路撒冷, 向耶和华他们列祖的神献祭.

11:17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, secure for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
这样, 他们就加强了犹大国的势力, 使所罗门的儿子罗波安强盛了三年, 因为他们在这三年, 跟随了大卫和所罗门的道路.

11:18 Then Rehoboam took to himself as a wife Mahalath, the daughter of Yerimot son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
罗波安娶了大卫的儿子耶利摩的女儿玛哈拉作妻子, 她也就是耶西的儿子以利押的女儿亚比孩的女儿;

11:19 And she bore to him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
她给罗波安生了几个儿子, 就是耶乌施,示玛利雅和撒罕.

11:20 And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom, who bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
后来, 罗波安又娶了押沙龙的外孙女玛迦; 玛迦给他生了亚比雅,亚太,细撒和示罗密.

11:21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines (for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters).
罗波安共娶了十八个妻子和六十个妾; 共生了二十八个儿子, 六十个女儿; 他却爱押沙龙的外孙女玛迦, 胜过其他的妻妾.

11:22 And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as chief and crown prince over his brothers, in order to make him king.
于是罗波安立了玛迦的儿子亚比雅作太子, 在他的兄弟中为首, 因为罗波安想立他继承王位.

11:23 And he dealt wisely and distributed some of his sons throughout all the land of Judah and Benjamin, through all the fortified cities, and gave abundant provisions to them and obtained many wives for them.
罗波安很有智慧地把自己的儿子分散在犹大和便雅悯各地的设防城中, 供给他们大批粮食, 又为他们娶了多位妻子.

II Chronicles - Chapter 12

12:1 And when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and when he was strengthened, he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him.
罗波安的王位稳定, 他也强盛起来, 就离弃了耶和华的律法, 全体以色列人也都跟随他.

12:2 And it happened that in the fifth year of King Rehoboam (for they had acted unfaithfully against Yahweh), Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem
罗波安王第五年, 埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷, 因为他们得罪了耶和华.

12:3 with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And there was no number to the people who came up with him from Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
示撒率领战车一千二百辆, 马兵六万, 和他一同从埃及出来的路比人,苏基人和古实人, 多得无法数算.

12:4 And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and he came up to Jerusalem.
他攻取了犹大境内的设防城, 然后来到耶路撒冷.

12:5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem from before Shishak. And he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘You yourselves have abandoned me, and I myself have surely abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.’ ”
那时, 犹大的众领袖, 因为示撒的缘故, 就聚集在耶路撒冷; 示玛雅先知就来见罗波安和众领袖, 对他们说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你们既然离弃了我, 所以我也离弃你们, 把你们交在示撒的手里. ’”

12:6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
于是以色列的众领袖和君王, 都谦卑下来, 说: “耶和华是公义的. ”

12:7 And when Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy. I will give to them some way of escape, that my anger not be poured out against Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
耶和华看见他们谦卑下来, 耶和华的话就临到示玛雅, 说: “他们既然谦卑下来, 我就不灭绝他们; 我必使他们暂时得救, 我必不借着示撒把我的烈怒倾倒在耶路撒冷.

12:8 However, they shall be his servants, that they might know my service and the service of the kingdoms of other countries.”
虽然这样, 他们仍必作示撒的仆人, 好使他们知道, 服事我和服事世上的列国有什么分别. ”

12:9 Then Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and he took the treasures out of the house of Yahweh and the treasures out of the king’s house. He took everything. He also took the small shields of gold that Solomon had made.
于是埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷, 夺取了耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物, 把它们全部带走, 又夺去了所罗门所做的金盾牌.

12:10 And King Rehoboam made small shields of bronze in their place and committed them into the hand of the commanders of the guards who were keeping the entrance of the house of the king.
罗波安王做了一些铜盾牌代替那些金盾牌, 交给那些看守宫门的守卫长看管.

12:11 And whenever the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guards came and carried them, and then they returned them to the alcove of the guards.
每逢王进耶和华殿的时候, 守卫就来拿这些盾牌, 事后又把盾牌送回守卫房那里.

12:12 And when he humbled himself, the anger of Yahweh was turned away from him, so that he did not destroy the city completely. Moreover, matters were well in Judah.
王既然谦卑下来, 耶和华的烈怒就止息, 没有把他完全消灭. 何况在犹大中还有善事.

12:13 So King Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned there. Now, Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city where Yahweh had chosen to put his name out of all the tribes of Israel. And the name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
罗波安王在耶路撒冷渐渐强盛, 继续作王. 罗波安登基的时候是四十一岁; 他在耶和华从以色列众支派中选出来, 立下他名的耶路撒冷城中, 作王十七年. 罗波安的母亲名叫拿玛, 是亚扪人.

12:14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek Yahweh.
罗波安行恶, 因为他没有定意寻求耶和华.

12:15 Now the words of Rehoboam from the first to the last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer as a record? And there were battles between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
罗波安的事迹, 一生的始末, 不是都记在示玛雅先知, 和先见易多的记录上吗? 罗波安和耶罗波安二人常有争战.

12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his ancestors, and he was buried in the city of David, and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
罗波安和他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在大卫城里. 他的儿子亚比雅接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 13

13:1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah reigned over Judah.
耶罗波安王第十八年, 亚比雅登基作犹大王.

13:2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and between Jeroboam.
他在耶路撒冷作王三年; 他母亲名叫米该亚, 是基比亚人乌列的女儿. 亚比雅和耶罗波安常有争战.

13:3 And Abijah joined in the battle with an army of four hundred thousand battle-hardened warriors, chosen men, and Jeroboam put the battle in order against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, an army of mighty warriors.
有一次, 亚比雅带着精兵四十万, 都是英勇的战士, 准备开战; 耶罗波安也带着八十万精兵, 都是英勇的战士, 列阵对抗亚比雅.

13:4 Then Abijah stood up on top of Mount Zemaraim that is in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
亚比雅起来站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上, 说: “耶罗波安和以色列众民哪, 你们要听我的话.

13:5 Do you not all know that Yahweh the God of Israel gave the kingdom to David over Israel forever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
耶和华以色列的神曾经立了盐约, 要把以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙, 你们不知道吗?

13:6 But Jeroboam the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master,
可是大卫的儿子所罗门的仆人, 尼八的儿子耶罗波安, 却起来背叛了他的主.

13:7 and worthless men, sons of wickedness, were gathered about him and became hostile against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was a boy and gentle of heart and was not strong enough to stand before them.
有些无赖匪徒结集跟从他, 欺负所罗门的儿子罗波安; 那时罗波安还年幼, 心里惊怯, 所以不能抵挡他们.

13:8 So now you yourselves are considering that you are strong before the kingdom of Yahweh which is in the hand the sons of David, since you yourselves are a great multitude and you have bull calves of gold that Jeroboam has made for idols.
现在你们有意要反抗大卫子孙手下的耶和华的国; 你们人数众多, 你们那里也有金牛犊, 就是耶罗波安为你们所做, 当作神的.

13:9 Did you not drive out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, the Levites? Have you not made for yourselves priests like all the peoples of the lands? All who come to be consecrated for priestly service with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what is not a god.
你们不是驱逐了耶和华的祭司, 亚伦的子孙和利未人吗? 你们不是像世上万民为自己立祭司吗? 无论什么人牵来一头公牛犊和七只公绵羊, 把自己分别为圣, 就可以作那本不是神的祭司.

13:10 But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests serving Yahweh are the sons of Aaron, the Levites, according to their service.
至于我们, 耶和华是我们的神, 我们并没有离弃他; 我们有事奉耶和华的祭司, 都是亚伦的子孙, 并且有利未人负责工作.

13:11 They offer burnt offerings to Yahweh every morning and every evening, sweet spices of incense, and the rows of bread upon the pure table. And the golden lampstand with its lamps they keep kindled every evening, for we are keeping the requirement of Yahweh our God, but you yourselves have forsaken him.
他们每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭, 焚烧芬芳的香; 在清洁的桌子上摆上陈设饼; 每天晚上燃点金灯台的灯盏; 我们谨守耶和华我们的神的吩咐, 你们却离弃了他.

13:12 And look, God is with us at the head, and his priests have the trumpets for sounding blasts against you, O sons of Israel. Do not fight against Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”
“看哪, 神和我们同在, 率领我们; 他的祭司拿着号筒向你们大声吹响. 以色列人哪, 你们不可和耶和华你们列祖的神作战, 因为你们必不能得胜. ”

13:13 Then Jeroboam sent around an ambush to come behind them. So they were in front of Judah, but the ambush was behind them.
耶罗波安却派伏兵绕到犹大人的背后. 这样, 犹大人前面有以色列人, 他们背后也有伏兵.

13:14 When Judah turned, then behold, the battle against them was in front and behind, and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests blew on the trumpets.
犹大人转身, 看见自己前后受敌, 就呼求耶和华, 祭司也都吹号.

13:15 Then the men of Judah shouted, and it happened that when the men of Judah were shouting, then God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
于是犹大人大声吶喊; 犹大人大声吶喊的时候, 神就在亚比雅和犹大人面前, 使耶罗波安和以色列众人大败而逃.

13:16 And the Israelites fled from before Judah, and God gave them into their hand.
以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑; 神把他们交在犹大人手里.

13:17 And Abijah and his people struck a great blow against them, and the dead from Israel that fell were five hundred thousand chosen men.
亚比雅和他的人民大大地击杀以色列人; 以色列人中倒毙的精兵共有五十万.

13:18 And the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the people of Judah were victorious, for they relied upon Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
那时, 以色列人被击败了, 犹大人获得胜利, 因为他们倚靠耶和华他们列祖的神.

13:19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
亚比雅追赶耶罗波安, 夺取了他的几座城, 就是伯特利和属于伯特利的乡镇, 耶沙拿和属于耶沙拿的乡镇, 以法拉音和属于以法拉音的乡镇.

13:20 And Jeroboam did not regain strength again in the days of Abijah. And Yahweh plagued him and he died.
亚比雅在世的日子, 耶罗波安不再强盛. 耶和华击打他, 他就死了.

13:21 But Abijah became strong, and he took to himself fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
亚比雅却不断强盛起来, 娶了十四个妻妾, 生了二十二个儿子, 十六个女儿.

13:22 Now the rest of the words of Abijah and his ways and his words are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
亚比雅其余的事迹和他的言行, 都记在易多先知的传记上.

II Chronicles - Chapter 14

14:1 And Abijah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son became king in his place. In his days the land was at rest ten years.
亚比雅和他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在大卫城里, 他的儿子亚撒接续他作王. 亚撒在世的日子, 国中太平了十年.

14:2 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yahweh his God.
亚撒行耶和华他的神看为善为正的事.

14:3 He removed the foreign altars and high places, broke down the stone pillars, and cut down the Asherahs.
他除掉外族人的祭坛和邱坛, 打断神柱, 砍下亚舍拉,

14:4 And he commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, and to keep the law and the commandment.
吩咐犹大人寻求耶和华他们列祖的神, 遵行他的律法和诫命.

14:5 And he removed the high places and the incense stands from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom had rest under him.
他又在犹大各城中, 除掉邱坛和香坛. 那时全国在他的统治下享受太平.

14:6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land was at rest. Under him there was no war in those years, for Yahweh had given rest to him.
他又在犹大建造了几座设防城, 因为国中太平, 多年没有战争, 耶和华使他享受安宁.

14:7 And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, gates, and bars while the land is before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought and he has given rest to us on every side.” So they built and had success.
他对犹大人说: “我们要建造这些城, 在四周筑墙, 建造城楼, 安设城门, 制作门闩. 这地还属于我们, 是因为我们寻求耶和华我们的神; 我们既然寻求他, 他就使我们四境平安. ”于是他们兴工建造, 事事顺利.

14:8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah, bearing shields and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand from Benjamin who carried shields and drew bows. All of these were mighty warriors of strength.
亚撒的军队, 拿大盾牌和矛枪的犹大人, 共有三十万; 拿小盾牌和拉弓的便雅悯人, 共有二十八万; 他们都是英勇的战士.

14:9 Zerah the Cushite came out against them with an army of a thousand thousands and three hundred chariots. And he came to Mareshah.
那时有古实人谢拉率领一百万军队, 战车三百辆, 前来攻打犹大人; 他来到了玛利沙.

14:10 And Asa went out before him, and a battle was put in order in the valley of Zepah at Mareshah.
于是亚撒出去迎战; 他们就在玛利沙的洗法谷列阵相对.

14:11 Then Asa cried out to Yahweh his God. And he said, “O Yahweh, there is none with you to help between the great and the powerless. Help us, O Yahweh our God, for we rely upon you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Yahweh, you are our God! Let no man prevail against you!”
亚撒呼求耶和华他的神说: “耶和华啊, 强弱悬殊, 除你以外没有别的帮助. 耶和华我们的神啊, 求你帮助我们. 因为我们倚靠你, 奉你的名去对抗这大军. 耶和华啊, 你是我们的神, 不要让人胜过你. ”

14:12 So Yahweh defeated the Cushites before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushites fled.
于是耶和华在亚撒和犹大人面前, 使古实人大败, 古实人就逃跑.

14:13 Then Asa and the army with him pursued them to Gerar. And many from the Cushites fell, for they had no deliverance, for they were shattered before Yahweh and before his army. And they carried away much war booty.
亚撒和跟随他的人民追赶他们, 直到基拉耳; 古实人被杀的很多, 不能恢复强盛; 因为他们在耶和华和他的军队面前被击溃了; 犹大人夺取了极多战利品.

14:14 And they struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of Yahweh was upon them. And they plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
他们又攻击基拉耳周围的一切城市, 因为各城的人都惧怕耶和华. 犹大人又把各城洗掠一空, 因为城中的财物甚多.

14:15 And they also struck the tents of the herdsmen and carried away many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
他们又毁坏了牲畜的棚, 牵走了很多的羊和骆驼, 然后回耶路撒冷去了.

II Chronicles - Chapter 15

15:1 Now Azariah the son of Oded—the Spirit of God came upon him.
神的灵降在俄德的儿子亚撒利雅身上,

15:2 And he went out before Asa and said to him, “Hear me, O Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him. And if you will seek him he will be found by you. But if you forsake him he will forsake you.
亚撒利雅就出来迎接亚撒, 对他说: “亚撒和犹大,便雅悯所有的人哪! 请听我说. 你们跟随耶和华, 耶和华就和你们同在; 你们寻求他, 就必给你们寻见; 你们离弃他, 他必离弃你们.

15:3 Now Israel has been without the true God many days, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
以色列人没有真神, 没有教导他们的祭司, 没有律法, 已经很久了.

15:4 but at its trouble he returned to Yahweh, the God of Israel. They sought him, and he was found by them.
但他们在遭难的时候, 回转归向耶和华以色列的神, 寻求他, 他就给他们寻见.

15:5 And in those times there was no peace for the one going out and the one coming in, for great tumults were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.
那时, 出入的人都没有平安, 因为各国的居民都遭遇动乱.

15:6 Nation was crushed by nation, and city was against city, for God threw them into confusion by all sorts of trouble.
这国攻击那国, 这城攻击那城, 因为神用各样灾难使他们纷乱.

15:7 But as for you, be strong and let not your hands be weak, for there is reward for your labor.”
但你们要坚强, 不要胆怯, 因为你们所行的, 必有赏报. ”

15:8 And when Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the vile idols from all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim, and he repaired the altar of Yahweh that was in front of the portico of Yahweh.
亚撒听了这些话, 和俄德的儿子亚撒利雅先知所说的预言以后, 就勇敢起来, 在犹大,便雅悯全地, 以及以法莲山地夺取的各城, 把可憎的偶像除去, 又在耶和华殿的走廊前面, 重新修造耶和华的祭坛.

15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those sojourning with them, from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for many had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
他又召聚了犹大和便雅悯所有的人, 以及在他们中间寄居的以法莲人,玛拿西人,西缅人. 以色列人看见了耶和华亚撒的神和他同在, 就有很多人投奔亚撒.

15:10 And they were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
亚撒在位第十五年三月, 他们聚集在耶路撒冷.

15:11 And they sacrificed to Yahweh on that day from the war booty they brought back: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
那一天, 他们从夺回来的战利品当中, 把七百头牛, 七千只羊, 献给耶和华为祭,

15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and with all their inmost being,
他们也立约, 要一心一意寻求耶和华他们列祖的神.

15:13 but all who will not seek Yahweh the God of Israel should be killed, from young to old, from men to women.
不寻求耶和华以色列的神的, 无论男女老幼, 都必处死.

15:14 And they took an oath to Yahweh with a great voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with horns.
他们就大声欢呼, 吹起号角, 向耶和华起誓.

15:15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they swore with all their heart. And they sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and Yahweh gave rest to them all around.
犹大众人都为了所起的誓快乐, 因为他们一心起誓, 尽意寻求耶和华, 耶和华就给他们寻见, 并且使他们四境安宁.

15:16 And also Maacah, the mother of Asa, the king removed her from being queen, because she had made a repulsive image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her repulsive image, and he crushed and burned it at the Wadi Kidron.
亚撒王也废掉他的祖母玛迦太后的位, 因为她曾给亚舍拉做了可憎的像; 亚撒把她那可憎的像砍了下来, 捣得粉碎, 烧在汲沦溪旁.

15:17 But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was fully devoted all his days.
只是邱坛还没有从以色列中除掉, 但亚撒的心一生都完全忠于耶和华.

15:18 And he brought the holy objects of his father and his own holy objects into the house of God—silver and gold and vessels.
亚撒把他父亲所分别为圣, 和他自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿, 都送进神的殿里.

15:19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
从那时, 直到亚撒在位第三十五年, 都没有战争.

II Chronicles - Chapter 16

16:1 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha the king of Israel went up against Judah. And he built Ramah in order not to allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa, king of Judah.
亚撒在位第三十六年, 以色列王巴沙上来攻打犹大, 修筑拉玛, 不许人离开或进入犹大王亚撒的国境.

16:2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold from the storehouses of the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, and he sent them to Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,
于是亚撒从耶和华的殿和王宫的库房里取出金银来, 送给住在大马士革的亚兰王便．哈达, 说:

16:3 “There is a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I am sending you silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, that he might withdraw from me.”
“你父亲和我父亲曾经立约, 你和我也要立约. 现在我把金银送给你, 请你去废除你和以色列王巴沙订立的约, 好使他离开我而去. ”

16:4 And Ben-Hadad listened to King Asa, and he sent commanders of his troops that were with him against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel-Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
便．哈达听从了亚撒王的话, 就派遣他属下的众军长去攻击以色列的城市, 他们攻陷了以云,但,亚伯．玛音和拿弗他利一切贮藏货物的城市.

16:5 And it happened that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work.
巴沙听见了, 就停止修筑拉玛, 把工程都停止了.

16:6 Then King Asa took all of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had been building, and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
于是亚撒王带领犹大众人, 把巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头和木材都搬走, 用来修筑迦巴和米斯巴.

16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “On account of your reliance upon the king of Aram, and since you did not rely on Yahweh your God, therefore the troops of the king of Aram escaped from your hand.
那时, 先见哈拿尼来见犹大王亚撒, 对他说: “因你倚靠亚兰王, 没有倚靠耶和华你的神, 所以亚兰王的军队才可以脱离你的手.

16:8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a mighty army with very abundant chariots and horsemen? And because of your reliance on Yahweh he gave them into your hand.
古实人和路比人不是有强大的军队吗? 战车和马兵不是极多吗? 只因你倚靠耶和华, 耶和华就把他们交在你手里.

16:9 For the eyes of Yahweh roam throughout all the earth to strengthen those whose heart is fully devoted to him. You have been foolish in this, for from now on you will have wars.”
耶和华的眼目遍察全地, 一心归向他的, 他必以大能扶助他们; 你作这事太愚昧了. 从今以后, 你必常有战争. ”

16:10 Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in the prison, for he was enraged with him concerning this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.
于是亚撒对先见发怒, 把他囚在监里. 同时亚撒也压迫人民.

16:11 Now behold, the words of Asa from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
亚撒所行的事迹, 一生的始末, 都记在犹大和以色列诸王记上.

16:12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, he fell severely ill in his feet. But even in his illness he did not seek Yahweh, but only among the healers.
亚撒在位第三十九年, 患了脚病, 病情严重; 可是, 连他患病的时候, 也没有寻求耶和华, 只管寻求医生.

16:13 And Asa slept with his ancestors. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
亚撒作王四十一年以后死了, 和他的列祖同睡.

16:14 And they buried him in his burial site, which had been cut out for him in the city of David. And they laid him on the bier which they had filled with all kinds of spices made by the perfumers as a fragment ointment. And they made a great fire in his honor.
人把他埋葬在大卫城里他为自己所凿的坟墓中. 他们把他放在堆满按着作香的方法调和的各样香料的床上, 又为他烧了很多香料.

II Chronicles - Chapter 17

17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
亚撒的儿子约沙法接续他作王; 约沙法发愤图强, 对抗以色列人.

17:2 And he put troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had taken.
他把军队安置在犹大的一切设防城里, 又在犹大地和他父亲亚撒占领的以法莲各城里驻扎防军.

17:3 And Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of David his father and did not seek after the Baals,
耶和华和约沙法同在, 因为他遵行了他祖父大卫最初所行的道路, 没有寻求巴力.

17:4 but he sought after the God of his ancestors and walked in his commandments and not according to the works of Israel.
只寻求他父亲的神, 遵行神的诫命, 没有随从以色列人的行为.

17:5 So Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah gave tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had much wealth and honor.
因此, 耶和华使他统治的国稳固; 犹大各地都给他进贡, 所以约沙法的财富很多, 极有尊荣.

17:6 And his heart was courageous in the ways of Yahweh. Moreover, he removed the high places and the Asherahs from Judah.
他勇敢地遵行耶和华的道路, 并且从犹大地中除掉邱坛和亚舍拉.

17:7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
他作王第三年, 就差派他的大臣便．亥伊勒,俄巴底,撒迦利雅,拿坦业,米该亚, 到犹大各城去教训人.

17:8 and with them the Levites Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah; and with them the priests Elisham and Joram.
和他们同去的, 还有示玛雅,尼探雅,西巴第雅,亚撒黑,示米拉末,约拿单,亚多尼雅,多比雅和驼．巴多尼雅等几位利未人; 又有以利沙玛和约兰两位祭司和他们同去.

17:9 And they taught in Judah, and the scroll of the law of Yahweh was with them when they went around in all the cities of Judah, and they taught the people.
他们带着耶和华的律法书, 在犹大教训人; 他们走遍犹大各城, 在民间教训人.

17:10 And the fear of Yahweh was upon all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, and they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
犹大地周围的列国都惧怕耶和华, 不敢和约沙法交战.

17:11 And some of the Philistines brought a gift and silver to Jehoshaphat as tribute. The Arabians also brought him seven thousand seven hundred sheep and seven thousand seven hundred goats.
有些非利士人送礼和纳贡银给约沙法; 阿拉伯人也送给他公绵羊七千七百只, 公山羊七千七百只.

17:12 And Jehoshaphat grew greater and greater, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.
约沙法逐渐变得十分强大, 在犹大建造了几座堡垒和贮藏货物的城市.

17:13 And he had many supplies in the cities of Judah and mighty warriors for battle in Jerusalem.
他在犹大各城中储备了大批物资; 在耶路撒冷也有不少战士, 都是英勇的战士.

17:14 Now these were their enrollment by the house of their ancestors: of Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah, the commander, and with him were three hundred thousand mighty armed warriors;
他们的数目, 按着他们的家族记在下面: 犹大支派的千夫长中, 有押拿军长, 率领英勇的战士三十万;

17:15 and at his side, Jehohanan the commander, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand;
在押拿底下, 是约哈难军长, 率领二十八万人;

17:16 and at his side, Amasiah the son of Zicri, who had made a freewill offering to Yahweh, and with him were two hundred thousand mighty armed warriors.
在约哈难底下, 是细基利的儿子亚玛斯雅, 他是个甘愿献身给耶和华的人, 率领英勇的战士二十万.

便雅悯支派中有英勇的战士以利雅大, 率领配备弓箭和盾牌的人二十万,

17:18 and at his side, Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand armed for war.
在以利雅大底下是约萨拔, 率领常备军十八万.

17:19 These were serving the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
这些人都是服事王的; 还有王在犹大全地各设防城里安置的, 没有计算在内.

II Chronicles - Chapter 18

18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had much wealth and honor, and he became son-in-law to Ahab.
约沙法的财富很多, 极有尊荣, 他和亚哈也结了亲.

18:2 And after some years he went down to Ahab in Samaria. And Ahab slaughtered many sheep and cattle for him and for the people who were with him, and urged him to go up against Ramoth-Gilead.
过了几年, 他下到撒玛利亚去见亚哈. 亚哈为他和跟从他的人宰了很多牛羊, 又怂恿他一同上去攻打基列的拉末.

18:3 And Ahab the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Will you go up with me to Ramoth-Gilead?” And he answered him, “I am as you are, and my people are as your people with you in war.”
以色列王亚哈问犹大王约沙法: “你愿意和我一同到基列的拉末去吗? ”他回答: “你我不分彼此; 我的人民就是你的人民; 我必和你一同作战. ”

18:4 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Seek first of all the word of Yahweh.”
约沙法对以色列王说: “请你先求问耶和华的话. ”

18:5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men. And he said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall we cease?” And they said, “Go up, since God will give it into the hand of the king.”
于是以色列王召集了四百位先知, 问他们: “我们可以到基列的拉末去作战吗? 还是不要去呢? ”他们回答: “你可以上去, 神必把那城交在王的手里. ”

18:6 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here another prophet of Yahweh that we might inquire of him?”
约沙法问: “这里不是还有一位耶和华的先知吗? 我们也可以向他求问. ”

18:7 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom to seek Yahweh, but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always disaster. He is Micaiah the son of Imlah.” Then Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say thus.”
以色列王回答约沙法说: “还有一个人, 我们可以向他求问耶和华; 只是我不喜欢他, 因为他对我说的预言, 都是凶话, 不是吉话. 这人就是音拉的儿子米该雅. ”约沙法说: “王不要这样说. ”

18:8 Then the king of Israel called to a eunuch and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
于是以色列王召了一个太监来, 说: “快去把音拉的儿子米该雅召来. ”

18:9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were each sitting on his throne, clothed in robes. And they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
那时, 以色列王和犹大王约沙法各自坐在王位上, 穿着朝服, 坐在撒玛利亚城门口的广场上; 所有的先知都在他们面前说预言.

18:10 And Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘With these you will gore Aram to their destruction.’ ”
基拿拿的儿子西底家自己做了些铁角, 说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你要用这些铁角抵触亚兰人, 直到把他们完全消灭. ’”

18:11 And all the prophets prophesied thus, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and triumph! Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
所有的先知也都这样预言说: “你可以上基列的拉末去, 必得胜利! 因为耶和华必把那城交在王的手里. ”

18:12 Then the messenger who went to call Micaiah said to him, “Behold, the words of the prophets are good with one voice to the king. Please let your word be as one with them and speak good.”
那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅说: “看哪, 这里的众先知都异口同声地对王说吉话, 请你与他们一样说吉话. ”

18:13 But Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, only what my God has said, that will I speak.”
米该雅说: “我指着永活的耶和华起誓, 我的神说什么, 我就说什么. ”

18:14 And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to war or shall I cease?” And he said, “Go up and triumph! They shall be given into your hand.”
米该雅来到王那里, 王问他: “米该雅啊, 我们可以到基列的拉末作战吗? 还是不要去呢? ”他回答: “可以上去, 一定得胜, 他们必交在你们手里. ”

18:15 But the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you speak nothing except the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
王对他说: “我要嘱咐你多少次, 你才会奉耶和华的名对我只说真话呢? ”

18:16 Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains like sheep that had no shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘These have no masters; let them return to his own house in peace.’ ”
米该雅说: “我看见以色列人四散在山上, 好像没有牧人的羊群一样. 耶和华说: ‘这些人既然没有主人, 使他们平平安安各自回家去吧! ’”

18:17 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
以色列王对约沙法说: “我不是早告诉你, 他对我说的预言, 总没有吉话, 只说凶话吗? ”

18:18 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting upon his throne with all the host of heaven standing on his right and on his left.
米该雅说: “所以你们要听耶和华的话. 我看见耶和华坐在宝座上, 天上的万军侍立在他左右.

18:19 And Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab the king of Israel that he would go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?’ And one said this, and another said that.
耶和华说: ‘谁去引诱以色列王亚哈上去, 好使他倒毙在基列的拉末呢? ’有人这样说, 也有人那样说.

18:20 Then a spirit came forth and stood before Yahweh and said, ‘I will entice him.’ Then Yahweh said to him, ‘By what means?’
后来有一个灵出来, 站在耶和华面前, 说: ‘我去引诱他. ’耶和华问他: ‘你怎样引诱他呢? ’

18:21 Then he said, ‘I will go forth and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You will entice him and will also succeed. Go out and do so.’
他回答: ‘我要出去, 在他众先知的口里成为谎言的灵. ’耶和华说: ‘你必能引诱他, 并且可以成功; 你去这样行吧. ’

18:22 So now, behold, Yahweh has put a spirit of deception into the mouths of these your prophets. Yahweh has spoken disaster against you.”
所以现在耶和华把谎言的灵放在你这些先知的口里, 并且耶和华已宣告灾祸必临到你. ”

18:23 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh come from me to speak to you?”
基拿拿的儿子西底家走前来, 打米该雅的脸, 说: “耶和华的灵是怎样离开了我, 去与你说话呢? ”

18:24 Then Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into a private room to hide yourself.”
米该雅说: “你进密室躲藏的那一天, 就必看见了. ”

18:25 Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the commander of the city and to Jehoash the son of the king,
以色列王说: “把米该雅带回去, 交给市长亚们和王的儿子约阿施,

18:26 and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this one into the prison house, and let him eat a meager ration of bread and water until I return in peace.” ’ ”
说: ‘王这样吩咐: 把这人囚在监里, 少给他食物和水, 直到我平平安安回来. ’”

18:27 And Micaiah said, “If you surely return in peace Yahweh has not spoken with me.” Then he said, “Hear, peoples, all of them!”
米该雅说: “如果你真的可以平平安安回来, 那么耶和华就没有借着我说话了. ”他又说: “众民啊, 你们都要听! ”

18:28 Then the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
于是, 以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了.

18:29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you, wear your garments.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went to war.
以色列王对约沙法说: “我要改装上阵, 你可以仍穿朝服. ”于是以色列王改了装, 他们就上阵去了.

18:30 Now the king of Aram had commanded the commanders of his chariots, saying, “Do not fight with the small or the great, but only with the king of Israel.”
原来亚兰王曾经吩咐他的战车队长说: “无论是大小的将兵, 你们都不要和他们交战, 只管攻击以色列王. ”

18:31 And it happened that when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, then they said, “It is the king of Israel!” And they turned against him to fight. Then Jehoshaphat cried out and Yahweh helped him. God drove them away from him.
众战车队长看见约沙法, 就都心里说: “这必是以色列王. ”于是都绕过去攻击他. 约沙法呼救, 耶和华就帮助他; 神又使敌人离开他.

18:32 And it happened that when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from following him.
众战车队长见他不是以色列王, 就转回去, 不再追击他了.

18:33 Now a certain man drew the bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the soldering of his breastplate armor. Then he said to the chariot driver, “Turn around; get me away from the war camp, for I am wounded.”
有一人随意拉弓, 竟射进了以色列王的铠甲中间的缝隙里. 王对驾车的说: “你把车转过来, 载我出阵吧, 因为我受了重伤. ”

18:34 And the battle went on that day, and the king of Israel was propped up in the chariot facing Aram until the evening. And he died at the time of the going down of the sun.
那天战事越来越激烈; 以色列王勉强站在战车上, 对抗亚兰人, 直到黄昏. 日落的时候, 王就死了.

II Chronicles - Chapter 19

19:1 Then Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
犹大王约沙法平平安安回到耶路撒冷自己的王宫里去.

19:2 And Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him. And he said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you be a help to the wicked and love those who hate Yahweh? On account of this, wrath has come against you from Yahweh.
先见哈拿尼的儿子耶户出来迎见约沙法王, 对他说: “你怎能帮助恶人, 喜爱那恨恶耶和华的人呢? 因此耶和华的忿怒必临到你身上.

19:3 Nevertheless some good things have been found in regard to you, for you burned the Asherahs out of the land and set your heart to seek God.”
可是你还有善行, 因为你从国中除掉亚舍拉, 并且决心寻求神. ”

19:4 And Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem and returned and went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
约沙法住在耶路撒冷, 后来又出巡民间, 从别是巴到以法莲山地, 领人民归向耶和华他们列祖的神.

19:5 And he appointed judges in the land and in all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
他又在犹大境内的一切设防城中, 都设立审判官;

19:6 And he said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for you are not judging for a man but for Yahweh. Now he is with you in speaking justice.
他对他们说: “你们行事, 必须谨慎; 因为你们审判, 不是为人, 而是为耶和华; 你们审判的时候, 耶和华必和你们同在.

19:7 So now, let the fear of Yahweh be upon you all. Be careful what you do, for there is neither wickedness nor showing partiality and taking bribes with Yahweh our God.”
现在你们要敬畏耶和华; 你们要谨慎行事, 因为耶和华我们的神没有不义, 不偏待人, 也不受贿赂. ”

19:8 Moreover, Jehoshaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites and the priests and heads of the families of Israel as judges and to decide legal disputes for Yahweh. And they sat in Jerusalem.
约沙法又在耶路撒冷, 从利未人,祭司和以色列各家族的首领中设立了一些人, 替耶和华施行审判, 为耶路撒冷的居民处理诉讼.

19:9 And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you must do in the fear of Yahweh in faithfulness and with a whole heart.
约沙法吩咐他们说: “你们要以敬畏耶和华的心, 忠心和尽心办事.

19:10 Any legal dispute that comes before you from your brothers who live in their cities concerning bloodguilt, law, commandment, statutes, and justice, you must warn them, so that they do not incur guilt before Yahweh, and that wrath may not come upon you and your brothers. Thus you must do that you do not incur guilt.
你们住在各城里的同胞带到你们面前的一切诉讼, 无论是流血的事件, 或是有关律法,诫命,律例和典章的诉讼, 你们总要警告他们, 免得他们得罪耶和华, 以致耶和华的烈怒临到你们和你们的同胞身上; 你们必须这样行, 就没有罪了.

19:11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the word of Yahweh, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all matters of the king, and the Levites shall be before you as officials. Be strong and do well! May Yahweh be with the upright.”
所有属于耶和华的事, 有大祭司亚玛利雅管理你们; 所有属于王的事, 有犹大家的领袖以实玛利的儿子西巴第雅管理你们; 在你们面前也有利未人作官长. 你们要勇敢行事; 愿耶和华和良善的人同在. ”

II Chronicles - Chapter 20

20:1 And it happened that afterward, the Moabites, the Ammonites, and some of the Meunites came against Jehoshaphat for war.
后来, 摩押人,亚扪人和一些米乌尼人, 一同来攻击约沙法.

20:2 And they came and reported it to Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude from beyond the sea, from Aram, is coming against you. Now behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
有人来向约沙法报告说: “从海的对岸, 就是从以东, 有大军前来攻击你; 现在他们在哈洗逊．他玛. ”哈洗逊．他玛就是隐．基底.

20:3 Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek Yahweh. And he called for a fast through all Judah.
于是约沙法害怕起来, 定意要寻求耶和华, 就在犹大全地宣告禁食.

20:4 And Judah assembled to seek after Yahweh; even from all the cities of Judah they came to seek Yahweh.
于是犹大人集合起来, 寻求耶和华的帮助; 犹大各城中都有人出来寻求耶和华.

20:5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh before the new courtyard.
约沙法就在犹大和耶路撒冷的会众中, 站在耶和华殿的新院子前面,

20:6 And he said, “O Yahweh, God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven? Now you rule in all the kingdoms of the nations, and in your hand are power and might, and there is none who can resist against you.
说: “耶和华我们列祖的神啊, 你不是天上的神吗? 你不是统治万国的吗? 你手中有大能大力, 没有人能抵挡你.

20:7 O, our God, did you yourself not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it to the descendants of Abraham your friend forever?
我们的神啊, 你不是曾经把这地的居民从你的子民以色列人面前赶走, 把这地赐给你的朋友亚伯拉罕的后裔永远作产业吗?

20:8 And they lived in it and built for you a sanctuary for your name in it, saying,
他们住在那地, 又在那里为你的名建造了一座圣所, 说:

20:9 ‘If disaster, a sword, punishment, disease, or famine come upon us, we shall stand before this house and before you—for your name is in this house—and cry out to you out of our trouble, then you will hear and save us.’
‘如果有灾祸临到我们, 无论是刀剑,刑罚,瘟疫,饥荒, 我们在急难的时候, 站在这殿和你的面前, 向你呼求, 你必垂听和施行拯救, 因为你的名是在这殿内. ’

20:10 And now, look, the people of Moab and Ammon and Mount Seir whom you did not allow Israel to come against when they came from Egypt, from whom they turned aside and did not destroy,
现在这里有亚扪人,摩押人和西珥山的人, 从前以色列人从埃及地出来的时候, 你不许以色列人侵犯他们. 那时, 以色列人就离开了他们, 不除灭他们.

20:11 now behold, they are rewarding us by coming to dispossess us from your possession which you gave us as an inheritance.
现在你看, 他们怎样报复我们; 他们要来把我们从你赐给我们承受作产业的地赶出去.

20:12 O our God, will you not judge them, for there is no power in us before this great multitude that is coming against us. Now we do not know what we shall do, for our eyes are upon you.”
我们的神啊, 你不惩罚他们吗? 因为我们没有力量抵挡这来攻打我们的大军; 我们也不知道该作什么; 我们的眼睛只有仰望你. ”

20:13 And all Judah was standing before Yahweh, and also their little children, their wives, and their children.
那时全犹大的人, 连他们的婴孩,妻子和儿女, 都站在耶和华面前.

20:14 Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite from the descendants of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly.
当时, 耶和华的灵在会众中临到利未人亚萨的后裔, 玛探雅的玄孙,耶利的曾孙,比拿雅的孙子,撒迦利亚的儿子雅哈悉;

20:15 And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat, thus says Yahweh to you: ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed before this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
他就说: “全犹大的人,耶路撒冷的居民和约沙法王啊, 你们要留意! 耶和华这样对你们说: ‘你们不要因这大军惧怕和惊慌, 因为战争的胜负不是在于你们, 而是在于神.

20:16 Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are coming up the ascent of Ziz. And you will find them at the end of the valley facing the desert of Jeruel.
明天你们要下去攻击他们, 他们会从洗斯的斜坡上来, 你们必在耶鲁伊勒旷野东面的谷口遇见他们.

20:17 There will be no need for you to fight in this battle. Take your stand! Stand and see the deliverance of Yahweh among you, O Judah and Jerusalem! Do not fear and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out before them and Yahweh will be with you.’ ”
犹大人和耶路撒冷人哪, 这次你们不必出战, 只要稳守阵地, 站立不动, 看耶和华为你们施行的拯救. ’你们不要惧怕, 也不要惊慌; 明天要出去攻击他们, 耶和华必和你们同在. ”

20:18 Then Jehoshaphat bowed his face down to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before Yahweh to worship Yahweh.
于是约沙法面伏于地, 全犹大的人和耶路撒冷的居民都俯伏在耶和华面前, 敬拜耶和华.

20:19 Then the Levites, from the Kohathites and from the Korahites stood up to praise Yahweh the God of Israel with an exceedingly loud voice.
哥辖子孙中和可拉子孙中的利未人, 都站起来高声赞美耶和华以色列的神.

20:20 And they rose up early in the morning and went out to the desert of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, and you shall be established! Believe in his prophets, and you shall succeed!”
第二天早晨, 众人清早起来, 出发到提哥亚的旷野去; 他们正出去的时候, 约沙法站起来, 说: “犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪, 你们要听我的话; 信靠耶和华你们的神, 你们就必坚立; 信靠他的先知, 你们就必亨通. ”

20:21 And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed singers to Yahweh who were giving praise to the splendor of his holiness when they went out before the army. And they said, “Give thanks to Yahweh, for his loyal love is everlasting!”
约沙法和人民商议好了, 就指派向耶和华歌唱的人, 使他们身穿圣洁的服饰, 走在军队的前面, 赞美耶和华, 说: “你们要称颂耶和华, 因他的慈爱永远长存. ”

20:22 And when they began with singing and praise, Yahweh set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who were coming against Judah. And they were defeated
他们正在欢呼赞美的时候, 耶和华就派出伏兵, 击杀那前来攻打犹大人的亚扪人,摩押人和西珥山的人, 他们就被击溃了.

20:23 when the people of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to destroy and demolish them. And when the inhabitants of Seir had made an end of them, each helped to destroy his comrade.
原来亚扪人和摩押人起来攻击住西珥山的人, 把他们杀尽灭绝; 他们灭尽了住西珥山的人以后, 竟又自相残杀.

20:24 And Judah came against the watchtower of the wilderness. And they looked at the crowd, and behold, corpses were lying on the ground. There was none who had escaped.
犹大人来到旷野的瞭望楼, 向那大军观望, 只见伏尸遍地, 没有一个逃脱的.

20:25 When Jehoshaphat came with his people to plunder their booty, they found among them in abundance possessions, corpses, and precious items. And they took plunder for themselves until they could carry no more. And they were three days in plundering the booty, for it was abundant.
约沙法和他的人民就来掠夺敌人的财物, 在尸首中见许多财物,衣服和珍宝. 他们剥脱下来的, 多得不能携带; 因为掠物甚多, 所以掠夺了三天.

20:26 And on the fourth day, they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, for there they blessed Yahweh. Therefore the name of that place is called the Valley of Berakah up to this day.
第四日, 他们聚集在比拉迦谷, 在那里称颂耶和华, 因此那地方名叫比拉迦谷, 直到今日.

20:27 And all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned, and Jehoshaphat was at their head in returning to Jerusalem with joy, for Yahweh caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
事后, 犹大和耶路撒冷所有的人, 在约沙法率领下, 都欢欢喜喜回耶路撒冷去了, 耶和华使他们因胜过仇敌欢喜快乐.

20:28 And they came to Jerusalem with harps, stringed instruments, and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.
他们拿着琴瑟和号筒来到耶路撒冷, 进了耶和华的殿.

20:29 And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the earth when they heard that Yahweh had fought against the enemies of Israel.
世上列国一听见耶和华战败了以色列的仇敌, 就都惧怕神.

20:30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at rest, since his God gave rest to him all around.
这样, 约沙法的国得享太平, 因为他的神使他四境安宁.

20:31 So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign. And he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
约沙法登基统治犹大的时候, 是三十五岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共二十五年. 他的母亲名叫阿苏巴, 是示利希的女儿.

20:32 And he walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn aside from it, to do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh.
约沙法遵行他父亲亚撒的道路, 总不偏离, 行耶和华看为正的事.

20:33 Only the high places were not removed. The people still had not yet set their heart on the God of their ancestors.
只是邱坛还没有除掉, 人民仍然没有定意归向他们列祖的神.

20:34 Now the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the chronicles of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are recorded in the scroll of the kings of Israel.
约沙法其余的事迹, 一生的始末, 都记在哈拿尼的儿子耶户的言行录上; 这言行录又收录在以色列诸王记上.

20:35 And afterward Jehoshaphat the king of Judah joined with Ahaziah the king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
后来, 犹大王约沙法和作恶多端的以色列王亚哈谢结盟.

20:36 He joined with him to build ships to go to Tarshish. And they built the ships in Ezion Geber.
约沙法和他合伙建造船只, 开往他施去; 他们是在以旬．迦别建造船只.

20:37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because of your joining with Ahaziah, Yahweh will break down your works.” And the ships were destroyed and were not able to go to Tarshish.
那时, 玛利沙人多大瓦的儿子以利以谢说预言攻击约沙法, 说: “因为你和亚哈谢结盟, 耶和华必破坏你建造的船只. ”后来那些船只果然受到破坏, 不能开往他施去.

II Chronicles - Chapter 21

21:1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
约沙法和他的列祖同睡, 和他的列祖一起葬在大卫城里; 他的儿子约兰接续他作王.

21:2 Now he had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.
约兰有几个兄弟, 就是约沙法的儿子亚撒利雅,耶歇,撒迦利雅,亚撒利雅,米迦勒和示法提雅; 这些人都是犹大王约沙法的儿子.

21:3 And their father gave to them many gifts of silver, gold, and valuables, with fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, for he was the firstborn.
他们的父亲把许多礼物, 就是金,银,财宝, 以及犹大地的几座设防城都赐给了他们, 却把王位赐给了约兰, 因为他是长子.

21:4 When Jehoram ascended to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and murdered all his brothers with the sword, and even some of the princes of Israel.
约兰一登上了他父亲的王位, 巩固了自己的权势以后, 就用刀杀了他所有的兄弟和犹大的一些领袖.

21:5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
约兰登基的时候是三十二岁, 他在耶路撒冷作王共八年.

21:6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did evil in the sight of Yahweh.
他随从众以色列王的道路, 好像亚哈家所行的一样, 因为他娶了亚哈的女儿作妻子, 行耶和华看为恶的事.

21:7 But Yahweh was not willing to destroy the house of David on account of the covenant that he had made with David and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his descendants forever.
耶和华因为自己和大卫所立的约, 不愿消灭大卫家; 却照着他应许的, 永远赐灯光给大卫和他的子孙.

21:8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set up a king of their own.
约兰在位的日子, 以东人反叛, 脱离了犹大的统治, 自立一王统治他们.

21:9 Then Jehoram passed over with his commanders and all the chariots with him, and when night came he struck Edom who was all around him and the commanders of his chariots.
约兰率领他的众军长和所有的战车一同前去; 他夜间起来, 攻击那些包围他的以东人和战车队长.

21:10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah until this day. Then Libnah also revolted at that time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his ancestors.
从此, 以东人反叛, 脱离了犹大的统治, 直到今日. 那时, 立拿人也反叛了, 因为约兰离弃了耶和华他列祖的神.

21:11 Moreover, he made high places in the hill country of Judah, and he enticed the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unfaithful, and he led Judah astray.
他又在犹大众山上建筑邱坛, 使耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫, 引诱犹大人.

21:12 And a letter from Elijah the prophet came to him, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father: ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father or in the ways of Asa, the king of Judah,
以利亚先知有信送给约兰, 说: “耶和华你的先祖大卫的神这样说: ‘因为你没有遵行你父亲约沙法的道路, 也没有遵行犹大王亚撒的道路,

21:13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unfaithful like the unfaithfulness of the house of Ahab, and have also murdered your brothers of the house of your father who were better than you,
却随从了以色列诸王的道路, 使犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫, 好像亚哈家行邪淫一样; 又杀了你父家比你良善的众兄弟;

21:14 behold, Yahweh is inflicting a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,
所以耶和华要用极大的灾祸击打你的人民,妻子和儿女, 以及你的一切财产.

21:15 and you yourself will be afflicted with great illness, with sickness in your bowels, until your bowels come out on account of the illness, day by day.’ ”
至于你, 你的肠脏必患严重的病, 直到因病情日益严重, 你的肠子都流出来了. ’”

21:16 And Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who were near the Cushites against Jehoram.
后来, 耶和华激动了非利士人和靠近古实的阿拉伯人的心, 和约兰作对.

21:17 And they came up against Judah and invaded it and carried away all the possessions found in the house of the king, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz his youngest son.
他们上来攻打犹大, 侵入境内, 掠去了王宫的一切财物, 又掳去了他的众子和妻妾; 除了他最小的儿子约哈斯以外, 没有给他留下一个儿子.

21:18 And after all this Yahweh afflicted him in his bowels with an illness for which there was no cure.
这些事以后, 耶和华击打约兰, 使他的肠脏患了不治之症.

21:19 And it happened that after many days, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of his illness, and he died in terrible agony. And his people did not make a fire for him like the fire for his ancestors.
他病了很久. 过了二年, 他的肠子因病重流了出来, 他就病死了; 他的人民没有为他烧火, 好像从前他的列祖烧火一样.

21:20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one’s regret. And they buried him in the city of David, but not in the burial sites of the kings.
约兰登基的时候是三十二岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共八年; 他离世的时候, 没有人哀悼他. 人把他埋葬在大卫城里, 可是没有葬在众王的陵墓里.

II Chronicles - Chapter 22

22:1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the band of men who had come with the Arabs to the camp had murdered all the older sons. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.
耶路撒冷的居民立了约兰的小儿子亚哈谢接续他作王; 因为那些和阿拉伯人同来攻营的匪徒, 把亚哈谢的哥哥全都杀了. 这样, 犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢就作了王.

22:2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
亚哈谢登基的时候是二十二岁(“二十二岁”原文作“四十二岁”; 现参照古译本和王下 8:26修译); 他在耶路撒冷作王一年. 他的母亲名叫亚他利雅, 是暗利的孙女.

22:3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor for doing wickedness.
亚哈谢也随从亚哈家的道路, 因为他母亲教唆他行恶.

22:4 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh as the house of Ahab had done, for they were his counselors to his destruction after the death of his father.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 好像亚哈家一样, 因为他的父亲死了以后, 亚哈家的人就教唆他, 好使他灭亡.

22:5 He also walked in their counsel and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-Gilead. And the Arameans wounded Joram.
他随从了他们的计谋, 和以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰一同到基列的拉末去, 和亚兰王哈薛交战; 亚兰人击伤了约兰.

22:6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds he had suffered at Ramah, when he made war against Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel for he was sick.
于是约兰回到耶斯列去, 医治他在拉末和亚兰王交战的时候所受的伤. 犹大王约兰的儿子亚撒利雅, 因亚哈的儿子约兰病了, 就下到耶斯列去看他.

22:7 But the downfall of Ahaziah was from God, and intended to come to Joram. And when he came, he went out with Jehoram to Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
亚哈谢去见约兰, 就遇了害, 这原是出于神; 因为他去到以后, 就和约兰一同出去攻击宁示的孙子耶户. 这耶户就是耶和华所膏的, 为要除灭亚哈家.

22:8 And it happened that when Jehu was judging the house of Ahab, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah who ministered to Ahaziah, and he killed them.
耶户讨伐亚哈家的罪的时候, 遇见了犹大的众领袖和亚哈谢的兄弟的儿子, 他们都是侍候亚哈谢的, 耶户把他们都杀了.

22:9 And he searched for Ahaziah and captured him. And he was hiding in Samaria. And they brought him to Jehu and put him to death. And they buried him, for they said, “He is the descendant of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with his whole heart.” And the house of Ahab had no one to exercise power over the kingdom.
耶户追寻亚哈谢. 那时, 亚哈谢躲藏在撒玛利亚, 有人捉住他, 把他带到耶户那里, 耶户就杀了他, 却把他埋葬了, 因为他们说: “他是约沙法的孙子; 这约沙法是一心寻求耶和华的. ”这样, 亚哈谢的家没有一人有能力可以保持王权的.

22:10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and murdered all the royal descendants of the house of Judah.
亚哈谢的母亲亚他利雅见自己的儿子死了, 就起来杀尽犹大家中所有王族的后裔.

22:11 But Jehosheba the daughter of the king took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and kidnapped him away from the sons of the king who were to be put to death. And she put him and his nurse in a private bedroom. So Jehosheba the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahaziah, hid him from before Athaliah so that she did not put him to death.
但是王的女儿约示巴, 把亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那些将要被杀的王子中偷出来, 把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里. 约兰王的女儿约示巴是大祭司耶何耶大的妻子, 把约阿施收藏起来, 躲避亚他利雅, 免得被亚他利雅杀死, 因为约示巴是亚哈谢的妹妹.

22:12 And he was hidden with them in the house of God six years, but Athaliah reigned over the land.
约阿施和他们在神的殿里一同躲藏了六年; 那时亚他利雅统治犹大地.

II Chronicles - Chapter 23

23:1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself and took with him into a covenant relationship the commanders of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zicri.
到了第七年, 耶何耶大奋勇图强, 召来耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅,约哈难的儿子以实玛利,俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅,亚大雅的儿子玛西雅和细基利的儿子以利沙法等几位百夫长, 和他们立约.

23:2 And they went around in Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
他们就走遍犹大, 从犹大各城召集利未人和以色列各家族的首领; 他们就来到耶路撒冷.

23:3 And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, “Behold, the son of the king shall reign as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.
全体会众在神的殿里与王立约. 耶何耶大对他们说: “王的儿子应当按照耶和华应许大卫的子孙的话作王.

23:4 This is the thing that you must do: one third of you priests and Levites coming off duty on the Sabbath shall be gatekeepers at the entrances,
你们要这样行: 你们中间每逢安息日来值班的祭司和利未人, 三分之一要把守各门;

23:5 and one third at the house of the king, and one third at the Gate of the Foundation. And all the people shall be in the courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
三分之一要在王宫, 三分之一要在基址门; 全体人民都要在耶和华殿的院子里.

23:6 Let no one enter into the house of Yahweh except the priests and the ministering Levites. They themselves may enter, for they are holy, but all the people shall keep the requirements of Yahweh.
除了祭司和供职的利未人以外, 任何人不得进入耶和华的殿, 只有他们可以进去, 因为他们是分别为圣的; 全体人民都要遵守耶和华的吩咐.

23:7 And the Levites shall surround the king all around, each with his weapons in his hand. And whoever comes into the house shall be put to death. You shall be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
利未人要在周围环绕君王, 各人手里拿着武器; 擅自进殿的, 都必被处死; 王出入的时候, 你们都要随着他. ”

23:8 And the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And they each took his men who were coming off duty on the Sabbath with the ones going out to duty on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the working groups.
利未人和犹大众人都照着耶何耶大祭司吩咐的一切去行; 他们各人带着在安息日值班或在安息日下班的人来, 因为耶何耶大祭司不准他们下班.

23:9 And Jehoiada the priest gave the spears and small shields that had belonged to King David that were in the house of God to the commanders of hundreds.
于是耶何耶大祭司把神的殿里, 原本属于大卫王的矛枪,大盾和小盾, 交给了众百夫长;

23:10 And he appointed all the people, each with his weapon in his hand from the south side of the house to the north side of the house around the altar and the house.
他又分派众民, 守卫在祭坛和殿的四周, 从殿的右面到殿的左面, 环绕着王.

23:11 Then they brought out the son of the king and set upon him the crown and gave him the statute and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, “Long live the king!”
于是他们把王子领出来, 给他戴上王冠, 又把约书交给他, 立他为王; 耶何耶大和他的众子用膏膏他, 并且说: “愿王万岁! ”

23:12 When Athaliah heard the sound of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people at the house of Yahweh.
亚他利雅听见人民奔跑和赞美王的声音, 就进了耶和华的殿, 到众民那里去.

23:13 And she looked and, behold, the king was standing by his column at the entrance, and the commanders and trumpeters beside the king, along with all the people of the land, rejoicing and blowing with trumpets, and the singers with the instruments of song leading the praise. And Athaliah tore her garments and cried, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
她一观看, 见王站在殿门口的柱旁, 众官长和吹号的人在王的周围; 国民都欢乐吹号, 又有歌唱的人用各种乐器领导众人歌颂. 于是亚他利雅撕裂衣服, 说: “反了! 反了! ”

23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of the hundreds appointed over the troops, and he said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks, and whoever goes after her shall be put to death with the sword.” For the priest had said, “You must not kill her in the house of Yahweh.”
耶何耶大祭司把管辖军队的众百夫长叫出来, 对他们说: “把她从各班次中间赶出去; 跟随她的人, 都要用刀杀死. ”因为祭司说: “不可在耶和华的殿内杀死她. ”

23:15 And they laid hands on her, and she went into the entrance of the Horse Gate of the house of the king, and they killed her there.
她走到王宫的马门入口的时候, 众兵就把她拿住, 在那里把她杀死了.

23:16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
耶何耶大与众民和王立约, 要他们作耶和华的子民.

23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and broke it down. And they smashed his altars and his images, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
于是众民都去到巴力庙, 把庙拆毁, 打碎祭坛和偶像, 又在祭坛前杀了巴力的祭司玛坦.

23:18 And Jehoiada placed appointees at the house of Yahweh under the hand of the Levitical priests whom David had allotted to the house of Yahweh to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh as was written in the law of Moses, with joy and with song, according to the order of David.
耶何耶大把看守耶和华殿的责任, 交在利未支派的祭司手里; 这些利未支派的祭司是大卫分派在耶和华的殿中, 照着摩西的律法所记的, 给耶和华献燔祭, 又照着大卫所定的, 欢乐歌唱.

23:19 And he set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of Yahweh so that no person unclean with respect to any matter could enter.
他又设立守门的看守耶和华殿的各门, 无论为了什么事, 不洁净的人, 都不能进去.

23:20 And he took the commanders of hundreds, the noblemen, the governors over the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of Yahweh. And they came through the upper gate to the house of the king, and they set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
他率领百夫长,贵族,民间的官长和国民, 又把王从耶和华的殿领下来, 从“上门”进入王宫, 拥立王坐在王位上.

23:21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword.
于是全国的人民都欢乐, 全城也都宁静; 因为他们把亚他利雅用刀杀了.

II Chronicles - Chapter 24

24:1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Zibiah from Beersheba.
约阿施登基的时候是七岁, 在耶路撒冷作王共四十年. 他的母亲名叫西比亚, 是别是巴人.

24:2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
耶何耶大祭司在世的日子, 约阿施行耶和华看为正的事.

24:3 And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he fathered sons and daughters.
耶何耶大为他娶了两个妻子, 他就生了一些儿女.

24:4 And afterward it was in the heart of Joash to repair the house of Yahweh.
此外, 约阿施有意重修耶和华的殿,

24:5 So he gathered the priests and the Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and gather money from all Israel to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year. Now you yourselves must hasten to the matter.” But the Levites did not act with haste.
就召集了众祭司和利未人, 对他们说: “你们要去到犹大各城, 向所有以色列人募捐金钱, 可以年年修建你们神的殿; 你们应急速办理这事. ”可是利未人却不急速办理.

24:6 So the king called Jehoiada the chief, and he said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax of Moses, the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel for the tent of the testimony?”
于是王把大祭司耶何耶大召来, 对他说: “你为什么不命令利未人把耶和华的仆人摩西和以色列的会众, 为法柜的会幕规定的税款, 从犹大和耶路撒冷征收回来, 作修殿的费用呢? ”

24:7 For the sons of the wicked Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had used all the holy vessels of the house of Yahweh for the Baals.
原来那恶妇亚他利雅的众子曾经拆毁神的殿, 又把耶和华殿中一切分别为圣的物品用来供奉巴力.

24:8 Then the king commanded, and they made a chest and put it at the gate outside the house of Yahweh.
于是王下令建造一个柜, 放在耶和华殿的门外;

24:9 And they issued a proclamation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring to Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God had levied upon Israel in the wilderness.
又在犹大和耶路撒冷发出通告, 叫人把神的仆人摩西, 在旷野规定以色列人缴交的税款带来, 献给耶和华.

24:10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and they brought their tax and threw it into the chest until it was finished.
众领袖和人民都欢欢喜喜把税款带来, 投进柜中, 直到他们都投完了.

24:11 And whenever he brought the chest to the appointee of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money in it, then the secretary of the king and the officer of the chief priest came and emptied the chest, then they took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day and gathered money in abundance.
利未人把银柜抬到王指定负责这事的人那里的时候, 他们看见税银很多, 王的书记和大祭司的属员就来把银柜倒空, 然后抬回原处. 天天都是这样, 所以收集了很多银子.

24:12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh. And they hired stonemasons and skilled craftsmen to restore the house of Yahweh, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of Yahweh.
王和耶何耶大把银子交给耶和华殿的办事人员, 他们就雇了石匠和木匠, 重建耶和华的殿, 又雇了铁匠和铜匠, 重建耶和华的殿.

24:13 So those doing the work labored, and the restoration for the work made progress under their hand. And they restored the house of God to its position and strengthened it.
作工的人不住工作, 重修的工程在他们手下顺利进行; 他们把神的殿重建得和先前一样, 并且非常坚固.

24:14 And when they had finished, they brought the remainder of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and they used it for objects for the house of Yahweh, objects for the service and the burnt offerings, dishes, and objects of gold and silver. And they were offering burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh regularly, all the days of Jehoiada.
他们完工以后, 就把剩下的银子送到王和耶何耶大面前, 用来制造耶和华殿里的器皿,供奉和献祭所用的器皿,盘子, 以及各种金银器皿. 耶何耶大在世的日子, 众人都常在耶和华的殿里献燔祭.

24:15 And Jehoiada grew old and full of days, and he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old at his death.
耶何耶大年纪老了, 寿数满足就死了; 他死的时候, 是一百三十岁.

24:16 And they buried him in the city of David with the kings, for he did good in Israel and with respect to God and his house.
他和列王一同埋葬在大卫城里, 因为他在以色列为神和神的殿作了美善的事.

24:17 Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
耶何耶大死后, 犹大的领袖们来朝拜王; 王听从了他们的主意.

24:18 And they forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors and served the Asherahs and the idols. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem on account of this guilt.
他们离弃了耶和华他们列祖的神的殿, 去事奉亚舍拉和偶像. 因为他们的罪, 神的忿怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷.

24:19 But he sent prophets among them, to bring them back to Yahweh. And they testified against them, and they did not obey.
但耶和华仍然差派先知到他们中间, 引导他们归向耶和华; 这些先知虽然警告他们, 他们却不肯听从.

24:20 Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people and said to them, “Thus says God: ‘Why are you transgressing the commandments of Yahweh so that you will not succeed? For you have forsaken Yahweh, so he will forsake you.’ ”
那时, 神的灵临到耶何耶大祭司的儿子撒迦利亚身上, 他就站在众民的面前, 对他们说: “神这样说: ‘你们为什么违背耶和华的诫命, 使你们不得亨通呢? 因为你们离弃了耶和华, 所以耶和华也离弃你们. ’”

24:21 Then they conspired against him and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.
众人要杀害撒迦利亚, 于是照着王的命令, 在耶和华殿的院子里用石头把他打死.

24:22 So King Joash did not remember the loyal love that Jehoiada had shown to him, and he killed his son. And as he was dying he said, “May Yahweh see and avenge!”
约阿施王没有记念撒迦利亚的父亲耶何耶大对他所施的恩, 反而杀了他的儿子. 撒迦利亚临死的时候, 说: “愿耶和华鉴察, 并且责问你! ”

24:23 And it happened at the turn of the year that the army of Aram went up against him, and they came to Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the commanders of the people from among the people, and all the war booty they sent to the king of Damascus.
过了年, 亚兰的军队上来攻打约阿施; 他们侵入犹大和耶路撒冷, 杀了民间的领袖, 又把他们的一切战利品都送到大马士革王那里去.

24:24 Though the army of Aram came with few men, Yahweh gave a very large army into their hand, for they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. And they inflicted punishment on Joash.
亚兰的军队虽然只来了一小队人, 耶和华却把一支庞大的军队交在他们手里; 因为犹大人离弃了耶和华他们列祖的神, 亚兰人向约阿施执行了惩罚.

24:25 And when they were going away from him (for they had left him with many wounds), his servants conspired against him on account of the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest. So they killed him on his bed and he died. And they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him at the burial sites of the kings.
亚兰人离开约阿施的时候, 他们丢下约阿施, 因为他受了重伤, 他的臣仆要杀害他, 为了报复耶何耶大祭司的儿子流血的仇; 他们在床上杀死他, 他就死了; 有人把他埋葬在大卫城里, 只是没有埋葬在列王的陵墓里.

24:26 Now these are the ones who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath, the Ammonite, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, the Moabite.
谋害他的是亚扪妇人示米押的儿子撒拔和摩押妇人示米利的儿子约萨拔.

24:27 And as for his sons, the many oracles against him, and his repair of the foundation of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the scroll of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
至于约阿施的众子, 以及许多警戒他的话, 还有他重建神的殿的事, 都记在列王记的注释上. 约阿施的儿子亚玛谢接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 25

25:1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king. And he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Jehoaddan from Jerusalem.
亚玛谢登基的时候是二十五岁, 他在耶路撒冷作王二十九年. 他的母亲名叫约耶但, 是耶路撒冷人.

25:2 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only not with a fully-devoted heart.
亚玛谢行耶和华看为正的事, 只是心不专一.

25:3 And it happened that as his reign was strengthened, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
他巩固了王位以后, 就把击杀他父王的臣仆杀了.

25:4 But he did not put their children to death, according to what is written in the law, in the scroll of Moses, where Yahweh commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death on account of the sons, and the sons shall not be put to death on account of the fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”
他却没有处死他们的儿子, 因为照着摩西律法书上所记, 耶和华曾吩咐: “不可因儿子的罪处死父亲, 也不可因父亲的罪处死儿子; 各人要因自己的罪被处死. ”

25:5 Then Amaziah assembled the men of Judah and set them by families under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. And he counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be three hundred thousand chosen for going out to battle, able with spear and shield.
亚玛谢召集了犹大人, 按着他们的家族为全犹大和便雅悯人, 设立千夫长和百夫长, 又数点他们的数目, 从二十岁以上, 能出去打仗, 能拿枪持盾的精兵, 共有三十万.

25:6 And he hired from Israel one hundred thousand strong, mighty warriors for one hundred talents.
又用了三千四百公斤银子, 从以色列中雇了十万英勇的战士.

25:7 But a man of God came to him, saying, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel, all the Ephraimites.
有一位神人来见亚玛谢, 说: “王啊, 请不要领以色列的军队和你同去, 因为耶和华不和以色列人, 不和任何以法莲的子孙同在.

25:8 But even still, you yourself go, do! Be strong for the battle else God will make you stumble before the enemy! For there is power with God to help and to cause stumbling.”
即使你一定要去, 奋勇争战, 神也会使你在敌人面前覆灭, 因为神有能力帮助人, 也有能力使人覆灭. ”

25:9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, “Now what should I do with the one hundred talents that I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God said, “Yahweh is able to give to you more than this.”
亚玛谢问神人: “我给以色列雇佣兵的那三千四百公斤银子怎么办呢? ”神人回答: “耶和华能把比这更多赐给你. ”

25:10 Then Amaziah dismissed the troops that came to him from Ephraim to go to their home. And they became very angry with Judah, and they returned to their home in great anger.
于是亚玛谢把那从以法莲来的雇佣兵解散了, 遣送他们回家; 因此他们非常恼怒犹大人, 就气冲冲地回家去了.

25:11 Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and leading his army, he went to the Valley of Salt. And he struck down ten thousand men of Seir.
亚玛谢鼓起勇气, 率领他的人民到盐谷去, 击杀了一万西珥人.

25:12 Now the troops captured ten thousand others alive, and they brought them to the top of the rock and threw them from the top of the rock. So all of them were smashed to pieces.
犹大人又生擒了一万人, 带到一处崖顶, 从崖顶把他们拋下去, 使他们都摔得肢离破碎.

25:13 As for the troops Amaziah had sent back from going with him to war, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth-Horon. And they struck down three thousand of them and plundered much booty.
但亚玛谢打发回去,不许和他一同作战的雇佣兵, 竟侵入犹大各城, 从撒玛利亚直到伯．和仑, 击杀了三千人, 又掠去了很多财物.

25:14 And it happened that after Amaziah came back from killing the Edomites, he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, and he stood them up to himself as gods and bowed down before them and make smoke offerings for them.
亚玛谢击败了以东人回来的时候, 把西珥人的神像也带回来, 立为自己的神, 在它们面前叩拜, 又向它们烧香.

25:15 So Yahweh became very angry with Amaziah and sent a prophet to him, and he said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people who could not deliver their own people from your hand?”
因此, 耶和华向亚玛谢发怒, 于是差派一位先知去见他, 对他说: “这民族的神不能拯救自己的人民脱离你的手, 你为什么还寻求它们呢? ”

25:16 And it happened that while he was speaking to him, he said to him, “Have we appointed you as a counselor to the king? Stop—why should you be killed?” So the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my advice.”
先知向王讲话的时候, 王对他说: “我们立了你作王的谋士吗? 住口吧! 你要挨打吗? ”先知就住口, 可是又说: “我知道神已定意消灭你, 因为你作了这事, 又不听从我的劝戒. ”

25:17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel, and he sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us face one another.
犹大王亚玛谢和群臣商议以后, 就派人去见耶户的孙子,约哈斯的儿子,以色列王约阿施, 说: “来吧, 我们在战场上相见吧! ”

25:18 And Joash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn bush that is in Lebanon has sent to the cedar which is in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ But a wild animal of the field that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thorn bush.
以色列王约阿施派人去见犹大王亚玛谢, 说: “黎巴嫩的蒺藜派人去见黎巴嫩的香柏树, 说: ‘把你的女儿给我的儿子作妻子吧! ’后来有一只黎巴嫩的野兽从那里经过, 把蒺藜践踏了.

25:19 Look, you say that you have struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up to boast. Now remain at your home. Why stir up disaster that you fall, you and Judah with you?”
你心里说你击败了以东人, 你就心里骄傲, 以这事夸口. 现在你留在家里吧, 为什么要惹祸, 使犹大和你一同覆亡呢? ”

25:20 But Amaziah did not listen, for it was from God that he might give them into the hand of enemies, because they sought the gods of Edom.
亚玛谢却不听从; 这原是出于神, 好把他们交在约阿施手里, 因为他们寻求以东的神.

25:21 So Joash the king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah the king of Judah faced one another at Beth-Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
于是以色列王约阿施上来, 在犹大的伯．示麦, 和犹大王亚玛谢相会于战场上.

25:22 And Judah was defeated before Israel, and each man fled to his tent.
犹大人在以色列人面前被击败, 各自逃回家去了.

25:23 And Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah the king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-Shemesh. And they brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits.
以色列王约阿施在伯．示麦捉住了约哈斯的孙子,约阿施的儿子,犹大王亚玛谢, 把他带到耶路撒冷, 又拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙, 从以法莲门直到角门, 共两百公尺.

25:24 Then with all the gold and silver, all the objects found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, the storehouses of the house of the king, and the hostages, he returned to Samaria.
又把俄别．以东负责看守神殿里的一切金银和一切器皿, 以及王宫里的宝物都掠去, 又掳走人质, 然后回撒玛利亚去了.

25:25 And Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel, fifteen years.
以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施死后, 犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢还活了十五年.

25:26 Now the remainder of the words of Amaziah, from the first to the last, behold, are they not written in the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel?
亚玛谢其余的事迹, 一生的始末, 不是都记在犹大和以色列诸王记上吗?

25:27 And from the time that Amaziah turned away from Yahweh, they had plotted a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
自从亚玛谢离弃耶和华以后, 在耶路撒冷有人要谋害他; 他就逃到拉吉去. 谋害他的人派人追到拉吉, 在那里把他杀死.

25:28 And they carried him on the horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
然后用马把他的尸体运回来, 埋葬在大卫城里, 和他的列祖一起.

II Chronicles - Chapter 26

26:1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah (now he was sixteen years old) and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
全犹大的人民立乌西雅接续他的父亲亚玛谢作王, 那时他才十六岁.

26:2 He built Elath and returned it to Judah after the king slept with his ancestors.
亚玛谢王和列祖同睡以后, 乌西雅重建以禄, 并且收归犹大所有.

26:3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. And the name of his mother was Yecoliah of Jerusalem.
乌西雅登基的时候, 是十六岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共五十二年. 他的母亲名叫耶可利雅, 是耶路撒冷人.

26:4 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Amaziah his father had done.
乌西雅行耶和华看为正的事, 像他的父亲亚玛谢一切所行的.

26:5 And he began to seek God in the days of Zechariah who was teaching in visions of God. And whenever he sought Yahweh God made him have success.
撒迦利亚在世的日子, 教导乌西雅敬畏神, 所以乌西雅常常寻求神; 乌西雅寻求神的时候, 神就使他亨通.

26:6 And he went out and made war against the Philistines, and he broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod, and he built cities in Ashdod and among the Philistines.
他出去攻打非利士人, 拆毁了迦特的城墙,雅比尼的城墙和亚实突的城墙; 又在亚实突境内非利士人中, 建造了几座城.

26:7 And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs who were living in Gur-Baal and Meunim.
神帮助他攻打非利士人和住在姑珥．巴力的阿拉伯人, 以及米乌尼人.

26:8 And the Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah, and his fame went out to the boundary of Egypt, for he became very strong.
亚扪人给乌西雅进贡, 他的名声传到埃及的边境, 因为他极其强盛.

26:9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the Angle, and he strengthened them.
乌西雅在耶路撒冷的角门,谷门和城墙转角的地方, 建筑了城楼, 这些城楼非常坚固.

26:10 And he built towers in the desert and hewed many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the Shephelah and on the plain, along with farmers and vinedressers in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
他又在旷野建造了一些瞭望楼, 挖了许多贮水池, 因为他在高原和平原上有很多牲畜; 又因为他喜爱种植, 所以在山地上和果园里, 雇有农夫和修剪葡萄树的工人.

26:11 And Uzziah had troops trained and ready for war in divisions according to the number of their enrollment at the hand of Jeuel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah of the king’s commanders.
乌西雅又有善于作战的军队, 照着书记耶利和官长玛西雅数点的数目, 由王的一个将军哈拿尼雅指挥, 编队上阵.

26:12 The whole number of the heads of the families for mighty warriors of strength was two thousand six hundred.
这些英勇战士中的各家族首领, 总数共二千六百人.

26:13 And under their hand were army troops numbering three hundred and seven thousand five hundred who could make war with power and strength to help the king against an enemy.
在他们指挥下的军队, 共有三十七万七千五百人, 都是大有能力, 善于作战的, 能帮助王攻打仇敌.

26:14 And Uzziah prepared small shields, spears, helmets, breastplates, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
乌西雅给全队军兵配备了盾牌,矛枪,头盔,铠甲,弓箭和甩石的机弦.

26:15 And he made siege machines in Jerusalem designed by skillful men to be set upon the towers and upon the corners to shoot arrows and large slingstones. And his fame went out far, for he helped marvelously, for he was strong.
他又在耶路撒冷制造巧匠发明的器械, 安放在城楼和城角上, 用来发射利箭和大石. 乌西雅的名声传到远方, 因为他得了非常的帮助, 使他十分强盛.

26:16 But on account of his strength his heart grew proud unto destruction. And he acted unfaithfully against Yahweh his God and went into the temple of Yahweh to offer an incense offering on the altar.
乌西雅强盛起来, 就心高气傲, 以致自寻毁灭, 竟冒犯耶和华他的神; 他进了耶和华的殿, 要在香坛上烧香.

26:17 And Azariah the priest, along with eighty strong priests with him, went in after him.
跟随乌西雅进去的, 有亚撒利雅祭司, 还有耶和华的祭司八十个, 都是英勇的人.

26:18 And they stood against King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but it is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully. There will be no honor for you from Yahweh God.”
他们阻止乌西雅王, 对他说: “乌西雅啊, 给耶和华烧香不是你应作的事, 而是亚伦的子孙作祭司的事, 他们是分别为圣作烧香的事; 请离开圣所吧, 因为你作了不应该作的事了, 你必不能从耶和华神那里得着尊荣. ”

26:19 Then Uzziah, his censer in hand to burn incense, became angry. And when he became angry with the priests, then leprosy appeared on his forehead in front of the priests in the house of Yahweh at the altar of incense.
于是乌西雅十分忿怒, 手里拿着香炉正要烧香, 他向众祭司发怒的时候, 就在耶和华的殿里香坛旁边众祭司的面前, 他的额上忽然长出了大痲风.

26:20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned to him, behold, he was leprous in the forehead. So they rushed him away from there, and he also hastened to go out, for Yahweh had smitten him.
大祭司亚撒利雅和众祭司看着他, 忽然见他的额上长了大痲风, 就急忙催他出殿; 他自己也急忙出去, 因为耶和华击打了他.

26:21 So King Uzziah was leprous until the day of his death, and he lived in a separate house as a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. And Jotham his son was over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.
乌西雅王长大痲风直到死的时候; 他既然长了大痲风, 就住在一间隔离的房子里, 不能进耶和华的殿. 他的儿子约坦执掌朝政, 治理国民.

26:22 Now the remainder of the words of Uzziah, from the first to the last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote them.
乌西雅其余的事迹, 一生的始末, 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知都记下来了.

26:23 And Uzziah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him with his ancestors in the burial field which belonged to the kings, because, they said, “He was leprous.” And Jotham his son reigned in his place.
乌西雅和他的列祖同睡; 由于有人说: “他是个长大痲风的人”, 所以把他埋葬在王陵的田间, 和他的列祖一起. 他的儿子约坦接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 27

27:1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.
约坦登基的时候, 是二十五岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共十六年; 他的母亲名叫耶路沙, 是撒督的女儿.

27:2 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Uzziah had done—only he did not go into the temple of Yahweh. But the people still acted corruptly.
约坦行耶和华看为正的事, 像他父亲乌西雅一切所行的, 只是没有进入耶和华的殿; 但人民还是行败坏的事.

27:3 He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and he did much restoration on the wall of Ophel.
约坦建造了耶和华殿的上门; 在俄斐勒的城墙上, 他也有很多建设.

27:4 And he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and he built forts and towers in the wooded places.
他在犹大山地建造城市, 又在树林中建造一些营寨和瞭望楼.

27:5 Now he fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave to him in that year one hundred talents of silver and ten thousand measures of wheat and ten thousand measures of barley. This is what the Ammonites rendered to him, as well as in the second and third year.
约坦和亚扪人的王交战, 战胜了他们; 那一年, 亚扪人就献给他三千四百公斤银子, 一千公吨小麦, 一千公吨大麦; 第二年和第三年, 亚扪人也献给他这个数目.

27:6 And Jotham strengthened himself, for he established his ways before Yahweh his God.
约坦在耶和华他的神面前坚守正道, 所以日渐强盛.

27:7 Now the remainder of the words of Jotham and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written upon the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
约坦其余的事迹, 他的一切战争和作为, 都记在以色列和犹大列王记上.

27:8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
他登基的时候是二十五岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共十六年.

27:9 And Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. And his son Ahaz became king in his place.
约坦和他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在大卫城里; 他的儿子亚哈斯接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 28

28:1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh like David his ancestor.
亚哈斯登基的时候, 是二十岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王十六年. 他不像他的祖先大卫一样, 行耶和华看为正的事,

28:2 But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and also made molten idols for the Baals.
他却随从以色列诸王的道路, 又为巴力铸造偶像;

28:3 And he himself burned incense in the valley of Ben-Hinnom and burned his sons in the fire, according to the detestable practices of the nations whom Yahweh drove out before the Israelites.
并且在欣嫩子谷烧香, 用火焚烧自己的儿女, 像耶和华在以色列人面前驱走的外族人所行可厌恶的事一样;

28:4 And he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops, and under every flourishing tree.
又在邱坛上,山冈上和各青翠树下, 献祭烧香.

28:5 Then Yahweh his God gave him into the hand of the king of Aram who defeated him and captured many captives from him and brought them to Damascus. Moreover, he was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he defeated him by a great attack.
因此, 耶和华他的神把他交在亚兰王手里; 亚兰王击败了他, 掳走了他很多人民, 带到大马士革去. 神又把他交在以色列王手里, 以色列王就在犹大进行大屠杀.

28:6 And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, killed in one day one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah, all men of strength, because they forsook Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
利玛利的儿子比加在犹大一天之内杀了十二万人, 全是勇士, 因为他们离弃了耶和华他们列祖的神.

28:7 And Zikri, a mighty warrior of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the king, Azrikam the commander of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.
有一个以法莲的勇士, 名叫细基利, 杀了王的儿子玛西雅,王宫的总管押斯利甘和王的宰相以利加拿.

28:8 And the Israelites captured two hundred thousand of their brothers, women, sons, and daughters. And they also plundered much booty from them and brought the booty to Samaria.
以色列人从他们的兄弟中掳走妇孺共二十万人; 又从他们中间夺取了很多战利品, 带回撒玛利亚去.

28:9 Now a prophet of Yahweh was there; Oded was his name. And he went out before the army that was coming to Samaria and said to them, “Look, it is on account of the anger of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, against Judah that he gave them into your hands, and you killed them in a rage reaching to the heavens.
那里有一位耶和华的先知名叫俄德, 出来迎接回到撒玛利亚来的军队, 对他们说: “耶和华你们列祖的神因为恼怒犹大人, 才把他们交在你们手里, 你们却怒气冲天, 杀戮了他们.

28:10 So now, you yourselves plan to subdue people of Judah and Jerusalem as slaves and female servants for yourselves. Is there not also guilt on your part against Yahweh your God?
现在你们又想强迫犹大人和耶路撒冷人作你们的奴婢. 难道你们自己就没有得罪耶和华你们的神吗?

28:11 So now, listen to me and return the captives of your brothers whom you have taken captive, for the fierce anger of Yahweh is against you.”
你们现在要听我的话, 把你们掳回来的兄弟释放回去, 因为耶和华的震怒已经临到你们身上了. ”

28:12 Then men from the heads of Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Hezekiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—stood against those returning from the fight.
于是以法莲人的几个首领, 就是约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅,米实利末的儿子比利家,沙龙的儿子耶希西家和哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒, 起来阻挡从战场回来的军队,

28:13 And they said to them, “You shall not bring the captives here, for it is as guilt against Yahweh upon us. You yourselves plan to add to our sins and to our guilt, but our guilt is very great, and there is great anger against Israel.”
对他们说: “你们不可把这些俘虏带进来, 因为我们已经得罪了耶和华, 你们想增加我们的罪恶和过犯, 我们的过犯实在严重, 耶和华的震怒临到以色列人身上了. ”

28:14 So the soldiers left the captives and the plunder before the commanders and all the assembly.
于是, 军队把俘虏和战利品都留在众领袖和全体会众的面前.

28:15 Then the men designated by name arose and took the captives and from the plunder clothed all their nakedness. So they clothed them, gave them sandals, gave them food to eat, gave them water to drink, anointed them, and guided them with the donkeys provided for all those who stumbled, and brought them to Jericho, the city of the palm trees, next to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
上面提过的那些人就起来, 领走那些俘虏, 从战利品中拿出衣服给所有赤身的穿着, 给他们穿上鞋, 给他们吃喝, 又给他们抹油, 又把所有疲弱的人放在驴子上, 把他们送回棕树城耶利哥他们的兄弟那里, 然后就回撒玛利亚去了.

28:16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him,
那时, 亚哈斯王派人去求亚述王帮助他,

28:17 since again the Edomites came and struck against Judah and took captives.
因为以东人又来攻打犹大, 掳走了许多人.

28:18 And the Philistines sent raids into the cities of the Shephelah and the Negeb of Judah. And they captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Socoh with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages. And they settled there.
非利士人也侵入了高原和犹大南面的众城, 占领了伯．示麦,亚雅仑,基低罗,梭哥和属于梭哥的村庄, 亭纳和属于亭纳的村庄, 瑾琐和属于瑾琐的村庄, 并且住在那里.

28:19 For Yahweh subdued Judah for the sake of Ahaz, king of Israel, for he created disorder in Judah and acted unfaithfully against Yahweh.
因为犹大王亚哈斯在犹大放纵邪恶, 大大地冒犯了耶和华, 所以耶和华使犹大卑微.

28:20 Then Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria came against him and brought trouble for him, instead of helping him,
亚述王提革拉．毗尼色来到他那里, 不但没有援助他, 反倒欺压他.

28:21 for Ahaz took a portion from the house of Yahweh and the house of the king and the princes, and he gave it to the king of Assyria, but it was no help to him.
亚哈斯取了耶和华殿里和王宫中, 以及众领袖家里的财宝, 给了亚述王, 但也无济于事.

28:22 And in the time of his distress, King Ahaz continued to act unfaithfully against Yahweh.
这亚哈斯王在急难的时候, 竟越发冒犯耶和华.

28:23 He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus that had defeated him and said, “Because the gods of the king of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they will help me.” But they were a disaster to him and to all Israel.
他向击败了他的大马士革的神献祭, 说: “亚兰王的神帮助了他们, 我也向它们献祭, 使它们也帮助我. ”它们却使他和以色列人灭亡.

28:24 Then Ahaz gathered the objects of the house of God, and he cut the objects of the house of God to pieces. And he shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
亚哈斯把神殿里的器皿收集起来, 把这些神殿里的器皿都击碎了, 又封闭了耶和华殿的各门, 并且在耶路撒冷的各个角落建造祭坛.

28:25 And in every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and he provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, to anger.
他又在犹大各城建造邱坛, 向别的神烧香, 惹怒他列祖的神.

28:26 Now the remainder of his words and all his ways, from the first to the last, behold, they are written upon the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
亚哈斯其余的事迹和他一切所行的, 以及一生的始末, 都记在犹大和以色列诸王记上.

28:27 And Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, for they did not bring him to the burial site of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
亚哈斯和他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在耶路撒冷城里, 但没有葬在以色列诸王的陵墓里. 他的儿子希西家接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 29

29:1 Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.
希西家登基的时候, 是二十五岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王二十九年. 他的母亲名叫亚比雅, 是撒迦利雅的女儿.

29:2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.
希西家行耶和华看为正的事, 像他祖先大卫一切所行的.

29:3 In the first year of his kingship, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh and strengthened them.
他在位的元年正月, 开了耶和华殿的门, 重新修理.

29:4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and he gathered them into the eastern square.
他把祭司和利未人都召了来, 聚集在东面的广场上,

29:5 And he said to them, “Hear me, O Levites! Sanctify yourselves now, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, and bring out the defilement from the sanctuary.
对他们说: “利未人哪, 你们要听我的话; 现在你们要自洁, 又要洁净耶和华你们列祖的神的殿, 把污秽之物从圣所中除去.

29:6 For our ancestors acted unfaithfully and did evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the dwelling place of Yahweh. They have turned their backs on it.
我们的列祖冒犯了神, 行了耶和华我们的神看为恶的事, 离弃了他, 转脸不顾耶和华的居所, 以背向他.

29:7 They also shut the doors of the portico and extinguished the lamps. And they did not burn incense or offer burnt offerings in the sanctuary to the God of Israel.
他们又封闭廊门, 熄灭灯火, 不在圣所中向以色列的神烧香或献燔祭.

29:8 And the wrath of Yahweh was upon Judah and Jerusalem. And he made them as an abhorrence, as a desolation and an object of scorn, as you see with your own eyes.
因此, 耶和华的震怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷的居民身上, 使他们成为令人恐惧,惊骇和嗤笑的对象, 就像你们亲眼看见的一样.

29:9 Now behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity on account of this.
所以我们的列祖倒在刀下; 我们的儿女和妻子也都因此作了俘虏.

29:10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger might turn away from him.
现在我心中有意要和耶和华以色列的神立约, 好使他的震怒转离我们.

29:11 Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him to serve him and to be his servants and incense burners.”
我的孩子们, 你们现在不要懈怠, 因为耶和华拣选了你们站在他面前事奉他, 为要作他的仆人, 向他烧香. ”

29:12 Then the Levites arose—Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, from the Kohathites; and Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel from the Merarites; and Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah, from the Gershonites.
于是, 利未人哥辖的子孙亚玛赛的儿子玛哈,亚撒利雅的儿子约珥; 米拉利的子孙亚伯底的儿子基士,耶哈利勒的儿子亚撒利雅; 革顺的子孙薪玛的儿子约亚,约亚的儿子伊甸;

29:13 And from the descendants of Elizaphan: Shimri and Jeiel; and from the descendants of Asaph: Zechariah and Mattaniah;
以利撒反的子孙申利和耶利; 亚萨的子孙撒迦利亚和玛探雅;

29:14 and from the descendants of Heman: Jeiel and Shimei; and from the descendants of Jeduthun: Shemaiah and Uzziel—
希幔的子孙耶歇和示每; 耶杜顿的子孙示玛雅和乌薛都起来,

29:15 and they gathered their brothers and sanctified themselves, and they went in according to the command of the king because of the words of Yahweh, to purify the house of Yahweh.
集合他们的亲族, 洁净自己, 照着王的吩咐, 根据耶和华的命令, 进去洁净耶和华的殿.

29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Yahweh to purify it. And they brought out all the impurity that they found in the temple of Yahweh out to the courtyard of the house of Yahweh. And the Levites took them to bring them outside to the Wadi Kidron.
祭司进入耶和华殿的里面进行洁净, 他们在耶和华殿里发现的一切污秽之物, 都搬到耶和华殿的院子里; 利未人接过, 就搬到城外的汲沦溪边.

29:17 And they began to sanctify themselves on the first day of the first month. And on the eighth day of the month they came to the portico of Yahweh. And they sanctified the house of Yahweh for eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.
他们在正月初一开始洁净圣殿, 第八日去到耶和华殿的走廊; 他们用了八日洁净耶和华的殿, 到了正月十六日才完工.

29:18 And they went into the inner part to King Hezekiah and said, “We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh: the altar of burnt offering, all its objects, the table of the rows of bread and all its objects,
于是他们进王宫见希西家王, 说: “我们已经把整个耶和华的殿,燔祭坛和坛的一切器皿,陈设饼的桌子和桌子上的一切器皿, 都洁净了.

29:19 and all the objects that King Ahaz discarded in his reign when he sinned, we have prepared and sanctified. Look, they are before the altar of Yahweh.”
亚哈斯王在位, 他得罪神的时候丢弃的一切器皿, 我们都预备齐全, 也都洁净好了; 现在都放在耶和华的祭坛前. ”

29:20 Then King Hezekiah rose early and gathered the officials of the city, and he went up to the house of Yahweh.
希西家王清早起来, 召集城中的领袖, 上耶和华的殿去.

29:21 And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a purification offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the descendants of Aaron, the priests, to offer them on the altar of Yahweh.
他们牵来了七头公牛,七只公绵羊,七只羊羔和七只公山羊, 要为国家,为圣所和为犹大人作赎罪祭; 王吩咐亚伦的子孙众祭司把它们献在耶和华的坛上.

29:22 And they slaughtered the cattle, and the priests received the blood and threw it toward the altar. Then they slaughtered the rams and threw the blood toward the altar, and then they slaughtered the lambs and threw the blood toward the altar.
他们宰了公牛, 祭司把血接过来, 洒在祭坛上; 他们又宰了公绵羊, 把血洒在祭坛上; 他们又宰了羊羔, 也把血洒在祭坛上.

29:23 Then they brought the goats of the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid hands upon them.
最后把作赎罪祭的公山羊, 牵到王和会众面前, 王和会众就按手在公山羊的身上.

29:24 And the priest killed them and offered their blood against the altar to make atonement for all Israel, for the king had commanded the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
祭司宰了公山羊, 把血洒在祭坛上作赎罪祭, 为所有以色列人赎罪; 因为王曾经吩咐要为所有以色列人献上燔祭和赎罪祭.

29:25 And he stood the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the command of David and Gad, the seer of the king, and Nathan the prophet, for the command was by the hand of Yahweh by the hand of his prophets.
王又指派在耶和华殿中的利未人拿着响钹和琴瑟, 是照着大卫,王的先见迦得和拿单先知所吩咐的, 就是耶和华借他的先知所吩咐的.

29:26 When the Levites stood with the objects of David and the priests with the trumpets,
利未人拿着大卫的乐器, 祭司持着号筒, 一同站着.

29:27 Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And at the time the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began, and also the trumpets, at the hands of the instruments of David king of Israel.
希西家吩咐在祭坛上献上燔祭. 开始献燔祭的时候, 就开始向耶和华歌唱, 并且用号筒和以色列王大卫的乐器伴奏.

29:28 Then all the assembly bowed down, and the song was sung, and the trumpeters trumpeted—all together until the end of the burnt offering.
全体会众都叩拜, 歌唱的歌唱, 吹号的吹号, 直到燔祭都献完了.

29:29 And when the offering was finished, the king and all who were found with him knelt down and bowed themselves.
献完了祭, 王和所有在场的人, 都屈膝叩拜.

29:30 Then King Hezekiah and the princes commanded the Levites to praise Yahweh with the words of David and Asaph the seer. So they offered praise with joy, and they bowed down and worshiped.
希西家王和众领袖, 又吩咐利未人用大卫和先见亚萨的诗词赞美耶和华, 于是他们欢欢喜喜地赞美耶和华, 低头敬拜.

29:31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of Yahweh!” And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all who were willing in heart brought burnt offerings.
希西家说: “你们现在归耶和华为圣了. 请前来, 把祭物和感恩祭带到耶和华的殿里来. ”于是会众把祭物和感恩祭带来; 凡是甘心乐意的, 都把燔祭带来.

29:32 And the number of burnt offerings that the assembly brought was seventy cattle, one hundred rams, two hundred lambs—all these were to offer to Yahweh.
会众带来的燔祭如下: 公牛七十头,公绵羊一百只,羊羔二百只. 这些都是作燔祭献给耶和华的.

29:33 And the consecrated offerings of cattle were six hundred cattle and three thousand sheep.
还有分别为圣之物: 公牛六百头,绵羊三千只.

29:34 But the priests were too few, and they were not able to offer all the burnt offerings, so their brothers, the Levites, strengthened them to finish the work, and until the rest of the priests consecrated themselves. (For the Levites were more conscientious to sanctify themselves than the priests.)
只是祭司太少, 不能把所有燔祭牲剥皮, 所以他们的亲族协助他们, 直到剥皮的工作完了, 又等到其他祭司自洁完了, 因为利未人在自洁的事上比众祭司更加诚心.

29:35 And beside the many burnt offerings was the fat of the peace offerings and the libations for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of Yahweh was established.
此外, 还有很多燔祭牲和平安祭牲的脂肪, 以及和燔祭同献的奠祭很多. 这样, 耶和华殿里的事奉就重新恢复了.

29:36 And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over what God had established with the people, for the matter happened suddenly.
因为事情很快办完, 希西家和全体人民因神为他的子民所预备的, 都甚欢乐.

II Chronicles - Chapter 30

30:1 Then Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, to come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel.
希西家派人走遍以色列和犹大, 又写信给以法莲人和玛拿西人, 叫他们到耶路撒冷耶和华的殿来, 守逾越节记念耶和华以色列的神.

30:2 Now the king and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to make the Passover feast in the second month—
因为王和众领袖, 以及耶路撒冷的全体会众曾经商议, 要在二月守逾越节.

30:3 but they were not able to make it at that time, for the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, and the people had not been assembled in Jerusalem—
(但他们不能如期守逾越节, 因为自洁的祭司不够, 人民也没有齐集在耶路撒冷. )

30:4 and the plan seemed right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly.
王和全体会众都认为这计划很好,

30:5 So they let the decree stand, to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, to come to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel.
于是下了命令, 通告全以色列, 从别是巴直到但, 叫人民来耶路撒冷守逾越节记念耶和华以色列的神, 因为照着所记的定例举行这节的人不多.

30:6 And the runners went with the letter from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah according to the command of the king, saying, “O sons of Israel, return to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
信差就带着王和众领袖发出的书信, 走遍全以色列和犹大, 照着王的吩咐, 宣告说: “以色列人哪, 你们应当转向耶和华, 亚伯拉罕,以撒和以色列的神, 使他也转向这些在亚述王手中逃脱的余民.

30:7 Do not be like your fathers and like your brothers, who acted unfaithfully before Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them as a desolation, as you see.
你们不要像你们的列祖和你们的亲族, 他们得罪了耶和华他们列祖的神, 以致耶和华使他们成为令人惊骇的对象, 就像你们自己所见的.

30:8 Now, do not stiffen your neck as your fathers, but give a hand to Yahweh and come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever, and serve Yahweh your God that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
现在你们不可顽固, 像你们的列祖那样; 要顺服耶和华, 进入他永远分别为圣的圣所, 事奉耶和华你们的神, 使他的烈怒转离你们.

30:9 For when you return to Yahweh, your brothers and your children will find compassion before their captors and return to this land, for Yahweh your God is gracious and compassionate, and he will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”
如果你们是归向耶和华, 你们的亲族和儿女就必在俘掳他们的人面前蒙怜悯, 可以返回这地; 因为耶和华你们的神是有恩惠有怜悯; 如果你们归向他, 他必不转脸不顾你们. ”

30:10 And it happened that the runners were passing from city to city in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and up to Zebulun, but they were laughing at them and mocking them.
信差从这城到那城, 走遍了以法莲和玛拿西各地, 直到西布伦; 那里的人却戏弄他们, 讥笑他们.

30:11 Only men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
可是在亚设,玛拿西和西布伦中, 也有人愿意谦卑, 来到耶路撒冷.

30:12 The hand of God was also upon Judah, to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and the princes concerning the word of Yahweh.
神的能力也帮助犹大人, 使他们一心遵行王和众领袖奉耶和华的命令发出的吩咐.

30:13 So many people gathered in Jerusalem to hold the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month; it was a very great assembly.
二月, 有很多人在耶路撒冷聚集, 要举行无酵节, 集合了一大群会众.

30:14 And they rose up and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem. And they removed all the incense altars and threw them away in the Wadi Kidron.
他们起来, 把耶路撒冷城中的祭坛和一切香坛, 尽都除去, 拋在汲沦溪中.

30:15 And they slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were disgraced, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.
二月十四日, 他们宰了逾越节的羊羔. 祭司和利未人都觉得惭愧, 就自洁, 把燔祭带到耶和华的殿里.

30:16 Then they stood at their positions according to custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God. The priests were sprinkling the blood from the hand of the Levites.
他们遵照神人摩西的律法, 按着定例, 站在自己的岗位上. 祭司从利未人手里把血接过来, 洒在祭坛上.

30:17 For there were many in the assembly who did not consecrate themselves, so the Levites were over the killing of the Passover sacrifices for all who were not clean, to consecrate them to Yahweh.
因为会众中有很多人还没有自洁, 所以利未人必须为所有不洁的人宰杀逾越节的羊羔, 使他们在耶和华面前成为圣洁.

30:18 For a majority of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves. But they ate the Passover sacrifice otherwise than prescribed, but Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh make atonement unto
原来有一大群人, 很多是从以法莲,玛拿西,以萨迦和西布伦来的, 还没有自洁, 就吃逾越节的羊羔, 不遵照所记的定例; 因此, 希西家为他们祷告说:

30:19 everyone whose heart is set to seek God, Yahweh the God of his ancestors, though not according to the cleansing for the sanctuary.”
“凡是立定心意, 专一寻求神耶和华他们列祖的神的, 虽然没有照着圣所洁净的礼自洁, 愿良善的耶和华也饶恕他们. ”

30:20 And Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and he healed the people.
耶和华垂听了希西家的祷告, 就饶恕众民.

30:21 And the Israelites who were found in Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great joy. And the Levites and the priests were offering praise to Yahweh day by day, with powerful instruments to Yahweh.
在耶路撒冷的以色列人, 都十分欢乐地守除酵节七天; 利未人和祭司天天赞美耶和华, 用响亮的乐器赞美耶和华.

30:22 And Hezekiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites who were skilled at service to Yahweh. So they ate the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and giving thanks to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
希西家慰勉所有善于事奉耶和华的利未人; 众人吃节筵七日, 又献上平安祭, 称颂耶和华他们列祖的神.

30:23 Then the whole assembly decided to make seven more days of feasting, so they made seven more days with joy,
全体会众商议好了, 要再守节期七天, 于是他们欢欢喜喜地又举行了七天.

30:24 for Hezekiah the king of Judah had provided one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the princes provided one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly. And many priests consecrated themselves.
犹大王希西家送给会众公牛一千头, 羊七千只; 众领袖也送给会众公牛一千头, 羊一万只; 并且有很多祭司自洁.

30:25 And the whole assembly of Judah, the priests and the Levites, all the assembly who had come from the land of Israel, and those living in Judah rejoiced.
犹大的全体会众,祭司和利未人,从以色列来的全体会众, 以及在以色列地寄居的人和在犹大寄居的人, 都非常欢乐.

30:26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem, for from the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there was nothing such as this in Jerusalem.
这样, 在耶路撒冷有极大的欢乐, 自从以色列王大卫的儿子所罗门的日子以来, 在耶路撒冷都没有像这样的欢乐.

30:27 Then the priests and the Levites arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy dwelling place in the heavens.
那时, 利未支派的祭司起来, 给人民祝福; 他们的声音蒙了垂听, 他们的祷告达到天上神的圣所那里.

II Chronicles - Chapter 31

31:1 And when all this was finished, all Israel who were found in the cities of Judah went out and shattered the stone pillars, cut down the Asherahs, and destroyed the high places and the altars from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh to the very last one. Then all the Israelites returned, each to his own property and to their cities.
这一切都作完了, 所有在那里的以色列人就都出去, 到犹大的各城, 打碎神柱, 砍下亚舍拉; 又在犹大,便雅悯,以法莲和玛拿西各地, 把邱坛和祭坛完全拆毁. 然后以色列众人都各回各城, 各归自己的地业去了.

31:2 And Hezekiah appointed working groups of the priests and the Levites, each according to their divisions, according to the service for priests and Levites, for burnt offerings, for peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camps of Yahweh.
希西家指派祭司和利未人的班次, 使祭司和利未人照着自己的班次, 各按各职献燔祭和平安祭, 又在耶和华殿门内事奉, 称谢和赞美耶和华.

31:3 And the gift of the king was out of his own possessions for the burnt offerings—the burnt offerings for the morning and the evening and for Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and appointed feasts, as is written in the law of Yahweh.
王又在自己的财物中定出一份作燔祭, 就是早晚的燔祭, 安息日,月朔和节期的燔祭, 都是照着耶和华律法上所记的.

31:4 Then he said to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give a gift for the priests and the Levites, so that they might be strong in the law of Yahweh.
王又吩咐住在耶路撒冷的人民, 要把祭司和利未人应得的一份给他们, 使他们专心执行耶和华的律法.

31:5 And the word spread. The Israelites gave abundantly from the firstfruits of grain, new wine, olive oil, honey, and all kinds of grains from the field. And they brought tithes of everything in abundance.
这命令一发出, 以色列人就送来很多初熟的五谷,新酒,油和蜜, 以及田间各样的出产, 又把各物品的十分之一, 大批送来.

31:6 Then the people of Israel and Judah who were living in the cities of Judah, they also brought a tithe of cattle and sheep and a tithe of consecrated objects to Yahweh their God. And they gave heaps upon heaps.
住在犹大各城的以色列人和犹大人, 也把牛羊的十分之一, 和分别为圣耶和华他们的神的圣物的十分之一, 都送了来, 屯积成堆.

31:7 In the third month the heaps began to pile up, and in the seventh month they ceased.
从三月开始屯积, 到七月才完毕.

31:8 When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
希西家和众领袖来了, 看见这些屯积物品, 就称颂耶和华, 又为耶和华的子民以色列祝福.

31:9 And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
希西家向祭司和利未人询问这些屯积物品的时候,

31:10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, saying, “Since the offerings began to be brought to the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and been satisfied, and have much to spare, for Yahweh has blessed his people. Now see this abundant remainder!”
撒督家的大祭司亚撒利雅回答他, 说: “自从人民把供物送进耶和华殿以来, 我们就可以吃饱, 并且还有很多剩下来. 因为耶和华赐福给他的子民, 所以剩下的才这样丰盛. ”

31:11 And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Yahweh, and they were prepared.
希西家吩咐人在耶和华的殿里预备仓房, 他们就预备了.

31:12 Then they brought the offerings and tithes and holy objects faithfully. And over them as leader was Conaniah the Levite. And Shimei his brother was second in rank.
他们很忠心地把供物,各物品的十分之一和分别为圣之物, 都搬进仓里去. 利未人歌楠雅总管这些物品, 他的兄弟示每作副总管.

31:13 And Jehiel, Azaziah, Nathan, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were chief officers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei, his brother, by appointment of King Hezekiah. And Azaraiah was leader of the house of God.
耶歇,亚撒细雅,拿哈,亚撒黑,耶利末,约撒拔,以利,伊斯玛基雅,玛哈,比拿雅在歌楠雅和他的兄弟示每手下, 负责监督的工作, 他们都是由希西家王和神殿的总管亚撒利雅委派的.

31:14 Now Kore the son of Imlah, the Levite, the gatekeeper of the east gate was over the freewill offerings of God, to give offerings to Yahweh and the most holy things.
看守东门的利未人音拿的儿子可利, 掌管自愿献给神的礼物, 分发献与耶和华的供物和至圣之物.

31:15 And at his hand were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah in the cities of the priests and entrusted to give to their brothers by working groups, according to the eldest to the youngest,
在他手下有伊甸,泯雅泯,耶书亚,示玛雅,亚玛利雅和示迦尼雅, 在祭司的各城里, 按着班次, 无论大小, 把供物分发给他们的亲族.

31:16 besides their enrollment by genealogy, to males from three years old and upward, to all who came into the house of Yahweh, as each day required for their service in their posts according to their working groups.
此外, 按着家谱, 三十岁以上的男子: 凡是每日按着班次, 照着本分进耶和华的殿供职的, 也分发给他们.

31:17 And the enrollment of the priests was according to the house of their fathers, and the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, according to their posts by their working groups.
又分发给按着家族登记在家谱上的祭司, 也按着班次职责分给二十岁以上的利未人.

31:18 And they were enrolled with all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters for the whole assembly because of their faithfulness. And they sanctified themselves in holiness.
又按照家谱的登记, 分给他们的全体的小孩,妻子和儿女, 因为他们忠心地自洁成圣.

31:19 And for the descendants of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of the pasturelands of their cities, in each and every one of their cities were men who were designated by name to give shares to every male among the priests and to everyone enrolled among the Levites.
至于住在各城郊野作祭司的亚伦的子孙, 在各城里都有指定的人, 把应得的分分发给祭司中所有的男子, 和所有登记在家谱中的利未人.

31:20 And Hezekiah did according to this throughout all Judah. And he did what is good and what is right and what is faithful before Yahweh his God.
希西家在犹大全地都这样行, 他在耶和华他的神面前行良善,正直和诚实的事.

31:21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God or with respect to the law and the commandment to seek his God, he did with all his heart, and he prospered.
他经办的一切事, 无论是关于神殿的事奉, 或是关于律法和诫命的遵行, 他都寻求他的神. 因为他尽心去行, 所以尽都顺利.

II Chronicles - Chapter 32

32:1 After these things and these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib the king of Assyria came, and he came against Judah. And he encamped against the fortified cities and planned to break them down for himself.
在希西家行了这些忠诚的事以后, 亚述王西拿基立进侵犹大, 围困犹大的设防城, 企图攻陷占领.

32:2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that his face was set for battle against Jerusalem,
希西家见西拿基立有意攻打耶路撒冷,

32:3 he took counsel with his commanders and his mighty warriors to block off the waters of the springs that came from outside the city, and they helped him.
就与众领袖和众勇士商议, 要把城外各道水泉堵塞, 他们都赞同.

32:4 Then many people were gathered, and they blocked off all the springs and the river that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?”
于是有一大班人集合起来, 堵塞了一切泉源和流通那地的溪流, 他们说: “为什么要让亚述王得着充沛的水源呢? ”

32:5 Then he strengthened himself and built up all the walls that were broken down, and raised towers upon them and another wall outside. And he strengthened the Millo of the city of David and made much weaponry and small shields.
希西家发愤图强, 重建所有拆毁了的城墙, 墙上筑起瞭望楼, 又建造一道外墙, 并且巩固大卫城内的米罗, 又制造了很多兵器和盾牌.

32:6 And he appointed commanders for battle over the people and gathered them to himself into the public square of the gate of the city. And he spoke to their hearts, saying,
他又委派军长统管众民, 集合他们到城门的广场那里去见他; 他鼓励他们说:

32:7 “Be strong! Be courageous! Do not fear and do not be dismayed before the king of Assyria and before all the crowd that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.
“你们要坚强勇敢, 不要因亚述王和他统领的大军惧怕惊慌; 因为和我们同在的, 比和他们同在的更多.

32:8 With him is the arm of flesh, and with us is Yahweh our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people took confidence with the words of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
和他们同在的, 不过是人血肉的手臂; 和我们同在的, 却是耶和华我们的神, 他必帮助我们, 为我们作战. ”众民因犹大王希西家的话都得着鼓励了.

32:9 After this Sennacherib the king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (now he and all his armies with him were against Lachish) to Hezekiah king of Judah and to all of Judah that was in Jerusalem, saying,
随后, 亚述王西拿基立和他统领的全军攻打拉吉的时候, 就差派他的臣仆到耶路撒冷来见犹大王希西家和所有在耶路撒冷的犹大人, 说:

32:10 “Thus says Sennacherib the king of Assyria: ‘On what are you relying that you are dwelling in siege works in Jerusalem?
“亚述王西拿基立这样说: ‘你们现在还在耶路撒冷受困, 你们可倚靠什么呢?

32:11 Is not Hezekiah urging you to give you up to die by starvation and thirst, saying, “Yahweh our God will save us from the hand of the king of Assyria”?
希西家曾对你们说: 耶和华我们的神必拯救我们脱离亚述王的手. 他不是迷惑你们, 使你们因饥渴而死吗?

32:12 Has not Hezekiah himself removed his high places and his altars and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, “You must bow down before one altar and upon it you must make offerings”?
这希西家不是曾经把耶和华的邱坛和祭坛除去, 吩咐犹大和耶路撒冷的人说: 你们要在一个坛前敬拜, 要在它上面烧香吗?

32:13 Do you not know what I have done, I and my ancestors, to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of all the lands at all able to save their land from my hand?
我和我列祖向各地的民族所行的, 你不知道吗? 各地列国的神能拯救他们的国脱离我的手吗?

32:14 Who among all the gods of those nations whom my ancestors utterly destroyed was able to save his people from my hand, that your God will be able to save you from my hand?
我列祖消灭的那些国的众神, 有哪一位能拯救自己的子民脱离我的手呢? 难道你们的神能拯救你们脱离我的手吗?

32:15 So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you. Do not let him urge you according to this. Do not put trust in him, for no god of any nation and kingdom has been able to save his people from my hand and from the hand of my ancestors. Surely then your God will not save you from my hand!’ ”
所以, 你们现在不要让希西家欺骗,迷惑你们; 你们也不要信他; 因为无论哪一邦哪一国的神, 都不能拯救自己的子民脱离我的手和我列祖的手, 你们的神不是更不能拯救你们脱离我的手吗? ’”

32:16 And still more his servants said against Yahweh God and against Hezekiah his servant.
西拿基立的臣仆还说了别的话毁谤耶和华神和他的仆人希西家.

32:17 And he wrote letters to treat Yahweh the God of Israel with contempt and spoke against him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the earth who did not save their people from my hand, so likewise the God of Hezekiah will not save his people from my hand.”
西拿基立又写信来辱骂耶和华以色列的神, 讥诮他说: “各地列国的神没有拯救它们的子民脱离我的手, 希西家的神也照样不能拯救他的子民脱离我的手. ”

32:18 Then they called with a great voice in Judean to the people of Jerusalem who were upon the wall to frighten them and terrify them, so that they could take the city captive.
亚述王的臣仆用犹大语, 向耶路撒冷城墙上的人民大声呼叫, 要惊吓他们, 使他们慌乱, 好攻取那城.

32:19 And they spoke about the God of Jerusalem as about the gods of the peoples of the earth, the works of the hands of humankind.
他们论到耶路撒冷的神, 就好像世上万民的神一样, 把他当作是人手所做的.

32:20 Then King Hezekiah and Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed concerning this. And they cried to the heavens.
希西家王和亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知为了这事祷告, 向天呼求.

32:21 Then Yahweh sent an angel, and he destroyed every mighty warrior of strength, commander, and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria. And he returned with shamed face to his land and went into the house of his god. And some of the offspring of his loins fell upon him there with the sword.
耶和华就差派一位使者, 进入亚述王的军营中, 把所有英勇的战士,官长和将帅, 尽都消灭了. 亚述王满面羞愧返回本国去了. 他进入自己的神庙的时候, 他亲生的儿子在那里用刀把他杀了.

32:22 So Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, and from the all their enemies, and gave them rest all around.
这样, 耶和华拯救了希西家和耶路撒冷的居民, 脱离了亚述王西拿基立的手, 和其他仇敌的手, 又使他们四境平安.

32:23 And many brought tribute to Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations thereafter.
有很多人把供物带到耶路撒冷献给耶和华, 又把很多宝物送给犹大王希西家; 从此, 希西家受到各国的尊重.

32:24 In those days Hezekiah fell ill unto death, and he prayed to Yahweh. And he answered him and gave him a sign.
那时, 希西家患病垂危, 就祷告耶和华; 耶和华应允了他, 又赐他一个征兆.

32:25 But Hezekiah did not reciprocate according to the benefit placed upon him, because his heart became proud. So wrath was upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
希西家却没有照着他蒙受的恩惠报答耶和华; 因为他心高气傲, 所以耶和华的忿怒临到他, 以及犹大和耶路撒冷的人身上.

32:26 But Hezekiah humbled himself with respect to the arrogance of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Yahweh did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
但希西家因为自己心高气傲而谦卑下来, 他和耶路撒冷的居民都谦卑下来, 因此耶和华的忿怒, 在希西家在世的日子, 没有临到他们身上.

32:27 And Hezekiah had very much wealth and honor, and he made storehouses for himself for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, small shields, and all sorts of desirable objects;
希西家的财富甚多, 尊荣极大; 他为自己建造库房, 收藏金银,宝石,香料,盾牌和各样的珍宝;

32:28 and storage buildings for the yield of grain, new wine, and olive oil; and animal stalls for all kinds of animals, and animals and herds for animal stalls.
又建造仓库, 收藏五谷,新酒和油; 又为各类牲畜盖棚栏,羊圈.

32:29 And he made cities for himself, and livestock of sheep and abundant cattle, for God had given to him very abundant possessions.
他又为自己建造城镇, 并且拥有大批牛羊牲口, 因为神赐给他极多的财物.

32:30 And this same Hezekiah blocked off the flow of the waters of the upper Gihon, and directed them down the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
这希西家堵塞了基训泉上游的水, 引水直下, 流到大卫城的西边. 希西家所行的一切事, 尽都亨通.

32:31 And thus in the matter of the envoys of the commanders of Babylon who had been sent to him to seek the sign that had happened in the land, God forsook him, to test him and to know all that was in his heart.
唯有巴比伦王的使者奉派来见希西家, 询问犹大地发生的奇事的时候, 神就离开了他, 为要试验他, 好知道他心中的一切.

32:32 Now the remainder of the words of Hezekiah and his loyal love, behold, they are written in the visions of Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, upon the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
希西家其余的事迹和他的善行, 都记在亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知的异象书上, 以及犹大和以色列诸王记上.

32:33 And Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the upper part of the burial sites of the descendants of David. And all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.
希西家和他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在大卫子孙墓地的高层; 他死的时候, 犹大众人和耶路撒冷的居民都向他致敬. 他的儿子玛拿西接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 33

33:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
玛拿西登基的时候, 是十二岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共五十五年.

33:2 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to the detestable things of the nations whom Yahweh drove out before the Israelites.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 随从耶和华在以色列人面前赶走的列国所行可厌恶的事.

33:3 And he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father broke down, and he set up altars for the Baals, made Asherahs, and bowed down to the host of heaven and served them.
他重新建造他父亲希西家拆毁的邱坛, 又为巴力立坛, 制造亚舍拉, 并且敬拜和事奉天上的万象.

33:4 And he built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh had said, “In Jerusalem my name shall be forever.”
他又在耶和华的殿中筑坛, 耶和华曾经指着这殿说: “我的名必永远留在耶路撒冷. ”

33:5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
玛拿西在耶和华殿的两院中, 为天上的万象筑坛,

33:6 And he himself burned his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom. And he practiced sorcery and divination, and he engaged in witchcraft and dealt with mediums and spiritists. And he did much evil in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.
并且在欣嫩子谷把自己的儿女用火烧为祭, 又占卜,行邪术,用法术,交鬼和通灵; 作了很多耶和华看为恶的事, 惹他发怒.

33:7 And he placed the carved image of the idol that he had made in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
他又把他所做的雕像立在神的殿中, 神曾经指着这殿, 对大卫和他的儿子所罗门说: “我要在这殿里, 和在我从以色列各支派中拣选的耶路撒冷中, 立我的名, 直到永远.

33:8 And I will never remove the foot of Israel from upon the land that I appointed to your ancestors, if only you will take care to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the regulations, and the judgments by the hand of Moses.”
只要以色列人谨守遵行我借着摩西吩咐他们的一切律法,律例和典章, 我就决不再使他们的脚离开我赐给他们列祖的地. ”

33:9 And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do evil more than the nations that Yahweh destroyed before the Israelites.
可是玛拿西却引诱犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民行恶, 比耶和华在以色列人面前除灭的列国更厉害.

33:10 And Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not listen.
耶和华曾警告玛拿西和他的人民, 他们却不理会.

33:11 So Yahweh brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria upon them, and they took Manasseh captive with hooks, and they bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.
因此耶和华领亚述王的将帅来攻打他们, 用钩子钩着玛拿西, 用铜链锁住他, 把他带到巴比伦去.

33:12 And when he was in distress he entreated Yahweh his God and greatly humbled himself before the God of his ancestors
玛拿西在急难的时候, 就恳求耶和华他的神, 并且在他列祖的神面前非常谦卑.

33:13 and prayed to him. And God responded to him and heard his plea and let him return to Jerusalem to his kingdom. And Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
他向耶和华祷告, 耶和华应允他的恳求, 垂听他的祈求, 使他归回耶路撒冷, 恢复他的王位. 玛拿西这才知道只有耶和华是神.

33:14 Then afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of the Gihon in the valley, and for the entrance into the Gate of the Fishes. And it encircled the Ophel and raised it very high. Then he placed strong commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
此后, 玛拿西在大卫城外, 从谷中的基训西边起直到鱼门口, 建了一道城墙, 围绕着俄斐勒, 他把城墙建得很高; 又在犹大各设防城里, 派驻军长.

33:15 And he removed the foreign gods and the carved image from the house of Yahweh and all the altars which he built on the mountain of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city.
又从耶和华的殿中除掉外族人的神和偶像, 又把他在耶和华殿的山和在耶路撒冷所筑的一切坛, 都拋出城外.

33:16 And he restored the altar of Yahweh and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and thank offerings upon it. And he commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
玛拿西重修了耶和华的祭坛, 在坛上献上平安祭和感恩祭, 又吩咐犹大人事奉耶和华以色列的神.

33:17 Nevertheless, the people offered at the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
可是人民仍然在邱坛上献祭, 尽管只向耶和华他们的神献祭.

33:18 Now the remainder of the words of Manasseh and his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the words of the kings of Israel.
玛拿西其余的事迹, 包括他对他的神的祷告, 和那些先见奉耶和华以色列的神的名向他所说的话, 都记在以色列诸王记上.

33:19 And his prayer, and how he responded to him, all his sin and his unfaithful acts, and the places where he built the high places and set up Asherahs and idols before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the words of the seers.
他的祷告, 神怎样应允他的恳求, 他谦卑下来以前的一切罪恶和过犯, 以及他在什么地方建筑邱坛, 设立亚舍拉和偶像, 都记在何赛的言行录上.

33:20 And Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his house. And Amon his son became king in his place.
玛拿西和他的列祖同睡, 埋葬在他的宫中; 他的儿子亚们接续他作王.

33:21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
亚们登基的时候, 是二十二岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共两年.

33:22 And he did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh as Manasseh his father had done. And Amon sacrificed to all the idols that Manasseh his father had made, and he served them.
他行耶和华看为恶的事, 像他父亲玛拿西所行的一样; 亚们向他父亲玛拿西所做的一切雕像献祭, 并且事奉它们.

33:23 And he did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father humbled himself, but Amon himself multiplied his guilt.
他没有在耶和华面前谦卑, 像他父亲玛拿西谦卑一样; 这亚们所犯的罪过越来越多.

33:24 And his servants conspired against him and killed him in his house.
后来, 他的臣仆阴谋造反, 在宫中把他杀死了.

33:25 But the people of the land struck down all who conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.
但犹大的人民把所有反叛亚们王的人都击杀了, 并且立他的儿子约西亚接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 34

34:1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
约西亚登基的时候是八岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共三十一年.

34:2 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and he walked in the ways of David his ancestor and did not deviate to the right or to the left.
他行耶和华看为正的事, 效法他先祖大卫所行的, 不偏左, 也不偏右.

34:3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of David his ancestor. And in the twelfth year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherahs, the idols, and the images.
他在位第八年, 还是年幼的时候, 就开始寻求他先祖大卫的神. 到了第十二年, 他就开始洁净犹大和耶路撒冷, 除掉邱坛,亚舍拉,雕像和铸像.

34:4 And he destroyed before him the altars for the Baals, and he cut down the incense stands above them. And the Asherahs, the idols, and the images he smashed. And he ground them to powder and sprinkled the dust over the burial sites of those who sacrificed to them.
众人在他面前拆毁了巴力的祭坛, 他亲自打碎了坛上高高的香坛, 又把亚舍拉,雕像和铸像砍碎, 撒在向这些偶像献过祭的人的坟上.

34:5 And he burned the bones of the priests on the altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
他把祭司的骨头烧在他们的祭坛上, 这样就洁净了犹大和耶路撒冷.

34:6 And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around,
他又在玛拿西,以法莲,西缅, 以至拿弗他利的各城, 以及它们周围荒废的地方, 都这样行.

34:7 he broke down the altars and the Asherahs and crushed the idols, grinding them to dust, and he cut down all the incense stands in all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
他拆毁了祭坛, 把亚舍拉和雕刻的偶像打碎, 破碎了以色列全地所有的香坛, 就回耶路撒冷去了.

34:8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign after he purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the commander of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of Yahweh his God.
约西亚在位第十八年, 洁净犹大地和圣殿以后, 就差派亚萨利雅的儿子沙番,市长玛西雅和约哈斯的儿子史官约亚, 去修筑耶和华他的神的殿.

34:9 And they came to Hilkiah the high priest and gave the money that was brought for the house of God, which the Levites, the guardians of the threshold, had gathered from the hand of Manasseh, Ephraim, and from the whole remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
于是他们来见大祭司希勒家, 把献给神的殿的银子交给他. 这银子都是守门的利未人, 从玛拿西,以法莲和以色列所有的余民, 以及犹大,便雅悯和耶路撒冷的居民那里收集来的.

34:10 And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen who were appointed in the house of Yahweh, and they in turn gave it to those doing the work who were at work in the house of Yahweh, to repair and restore the house.
他们又把银子交给在耶和华殿里负责监察的人; 他们又把银子发给在耶和华殿里作工的工人, 去修补圣殿.

34:11 And they dispensed it to the skilled craftsmen and the builders to buy stone for hewing and timber for the seams and for binding the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.
他们把银子交给木匠和石匠, 去购买凿好的石头和作木架与横梁的木材, 修补犹大列王毁坏了的殿宇.

34:12 And the men did the work faithfully. Over them as supervisors were appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites from the Merarites, and Zechariah and Meshullam from the Kohathites. And other Levites, all who were skilled in instruments of song,
这些人忠心地工作; 管理他们的督工是利未人米拉利的子孙雅哈和俄巴底; 监管他们的是哥辖的子孙撒迦利雅和米书兰; 还有所有精通乐器的利未人,

34:13 were over the porters and were directing all who worked on each task. And some of the Levites were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
管理扛抬的, 并且监管所有作各种工作的人; 利未人中, 也有作书记,作职员和作守门的.

34:14 And when they brought out the money that had been brought to the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found a scroll of the law of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
他们把献给耶和华殿的银子拿出来的时候, 希勒家祭司发现了耶和华借摩西所传的律法书.

34:15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found a scroll of the law in the house of Yahweh!” Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.
希勒家对书记沙番说: “我在耶和华的殿里发现了律法书. ”希勒家就把书交给沙番.

34:16 And Shaphan brought the scroll to the king and also informed the king, saying, “All that was put into the hand of your servants they are doing.
沙番把书带到王那里, 同时向王报告: “你交托你仆人的事, 他们都办妥了.

34:17 They have dispensed the money which was found in the house of Yahweh and have put it into the hand of the overseers and those doing the work.”
他们把在耶和华殿里的银子倒出来, 交给监督和作工的人. ”

34:18 Then Shaphan the scribe reported to the king, “Hilkiah the priest gave to me a scroll.” Then Shaphan read from it before the king.
书记沙番又告诉王, 说: “希勒家祭司还交给我一卷书卷. ”于是沙番在王面前诵读那书.

34:19 And when the king heard the words of the law, he tore his garments,
王一听见律法书上的话, 就撕裂自己的衣服,

34:20 and the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king, saying,
吩咐希勒家和沙番的儿子亚希甘,米迦的儿子亚比顿,书记沙番, 以及王的臣仆亚撒雅, 说:

34:21 “Go! Seek Yahweh on my behalf and on behalf of those remaining in Israel and Judah concerning the words of the scroll that was found, for the anger of Yahweh that was poured out on us is great, because our ancestors have not kept the word of Yahweh, to do all that is written in this scroll.”
“你们去, 为我,也为以色列和犹大的余民, 求问耶和华关于我们发现的这书上的话; 因为我们的列祖没有谨守耶和华的话, 也没有照着这书上所记的一切去行, 所以耶和华才向我们大发烈怒. ”

34:22 Then Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments. (Now she was living in Jerusalem in the second district.) And they spoke to her concerning this.
于是希勒家和王所差派的人去见女先知户勒大. 户勒大是掌管礼服的沙龙的妻子; 沙龙是哈斯拉的孙子,特瓦的儿子; 户勒大住在耶路撒冷第二区; 他们对户勒大这样说了.

34:23 And she said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Say to the man who sent you all to me:
她就回答他们: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你们对那差你们来见我的人说:

34:24 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Behold, I am bringing disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants—all the curses written in the scroll that were read before the king of Judah—
耶和华这样说: 我要按着在犹大王面前诵读的那卷书上所写的一切咒诅, 降灾在这地和这地的居民身上.

34:25 because they have abandoned me and burned incense to other gods so as to provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands. And my wrath will be poured out on this place and it will not be quenched.’
因为他们离弃了我, 向别的神烧香, 用他们手所做的惹我发怒, 所以我的忿怒必倾倒在这地上, 总不熄灭.

34:26 But to the king of Judah who sent you to seek Yahweh, thus shall you say to him: ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: As for the words which you heard,
至于那派你们来求问耶和华的犹大王, 你们要这样对他说: 耶和华以色列的神这样说: 论到你听见的话;

34:27 because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and against its inhabitants and you humbled yourself before me and tore your garments and wept before me, now I also have heard,’ declares Yahweh.
因为你听了我指着这地方和这里的居民所说的话, 就心里感动, 在神面前谦卑; 你既然在我的面前谦卑, 又撕裂衣服, 在我的面前哭泣, 所以我就垂听你的祷告; 这是耶和华的宣告.

34:28 ‘Behold, I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see any of the disaster that I am bringing upon this place.’ ” ’ ”
我必使你归到你的列祖那里去, 你必平平安安归入你的坟墓. 我所要降在这地方和这地上的居民身上的一切灾祸, 你必不会亲眼看见. ’”他们就把这番话回复王去了.

34:29 Then they sent word to the king, and he gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
于是王派人把犹大和耶路撒冷的众长老都召集了来.

34:30 And the king went up to the house of Yahweh with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with the priests and the Levites—all the people from great to small—and they read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant that was found in the house of Yahweh.
王和犹大众人,耶路撒冷的居民,祭司,利未人, 以及所有的人民, 无论大小, 都一同上耶和华的殿去; 王就把在耶和华殿里发现的约书上的一切话, 都诵读给他们听.

34:31 And the king stood at his position. And he made the covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh and to keep his commands and statutes and regulations with all his heart and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that were written on this scroll.
王站在他的位上, 在耶和华面前立约, 要一心一意跟随耶和华, 谨守他的诫命,法度和律例, 实行这书上所记立约的誓言.

34:32 Then he obligated all who were found in Jerusalem and in Benjamin, that the inhabitants of Jerusalem would do according to the covenant of God, the God of their ancestors.
他又使所有在耶路撒冷和便雅悯的人, 都顺从这约. 于是耶路撒冷的居民, 都遵照他们列祖的神的约而行.

34:33 And Josiah removed all the detestable things from the whole land that belonged to the Israelites and obligated all who were found in Israel to serve Yahweh their God. All his days they did not turn aside from following Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
约西亚在以色列人所属的各地, 把一切可憎的物尽都除掉, 使所有在以色列的人都事奉耶和华他们的神. 约西亚在世的日子, 人民都跟随耶和华他们列祖的神, 总不离开.

II Chronicles - Chapter 35

35:1 Josiah kept the Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem. And they slaughtered the Passover sacrifice on the fourteenth day of the first month.
约西亚在耶路撒冷守逾越节记念耶和华; 正月十四日他们宰了逾越节的羊羔.

35:2 And he set the priests at their posts and encouraged them in the service of the house of Yahweh.
王指派各祭司的职务, 又鼓励他们去作耶和华殿的事务.

35:3 And he said to the Levites who were teaching all Israel, who were sanctified to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. There is no need to carry it on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God and his people Israel.
他又对那些教导以色列众人, 分别为圣归耶和华的利未人说: “你们要把圣约柜安放在以色列王大卫的儿子所罗门建造的殿里; 不必再用肩膀扛抬. 现在你们要服事耶和华你们的神, 服事他的子民以色列.

35:4 And prepare yourselves according to your families, according to your working groups, according to the decree of David king of Israel and according to the decree of Solomon his son.
你们要按着家族和照着班次, 根据以色列王大卫所写的和他儿子所罗门所写的, 自己好好预备.

35:5 And stand in the sanctuary according to the clans of your families for your brothers, the lay people, and a part of the family of the Levites.
你们要按着你们的亲族这平民的家族的班次, 侍立在圣所; 每个班次中要有几个利未家族的人.

35:6 And slaughter the Passover lamb and consecrate yourself and prepare for your brothers to do according to the word of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
你们要宰逾越节的羊羔, 洁净自己, 为你们的亲族预备一切, 遵守耶和华借摩西吩咐的话. ”

35:7 Then Josiah provided for the lay people sheep, lambs, and young goats, all for the Passover for all who were found there, to the sum of thirty thousand, along with three thousand bulls. These were the possession of the king.
于是约西亚送出绵羊羔和山羊羔共三万只, 还有公牛三千头, 给所有在场的人民作逾越节的祭牲; 这些都是取自王的财产.

35:8 And his officials contributed a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, commanders of the house of God, gave to the priests two thousand six hundred Passover lambs and three hundred bulls.
约西亚手下的众领袖也自愿把祭牲送给人民,祭司和利未人; 又有神殿的总管希勒家,撒迦利亚和耶歇, 也把羔羊二千六百只和公牛三百头, 送给祭司作逾越节的祭牲.

35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jehozabad, commanders of the Levites, contributed to the Levites five thousand Passover lambs and five hundred bulls.
利未人的领袖歌楠雅和他的两个兄弟示玛雅和拿坦业, 以及哈沙比雅,耶利和约撒拔, 也把羊羔五千只和公牛五百头, 送给利未人作逾越节的祭牲.

35:10 And when the work had been completed, the priests stood at their positions and the Levites in their working groups according to the command of the king.
这样, 事奉的职务安排好了以后, 他们照着王的吩咐, 祭司站在自己的岗位, 利未人也按着自己的班次侍立.

35:11 And they slaughtered the Passover lamb, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed the sacrifices.
利未人宰了逾越节的羊羔, 祭司从他们的手里把血接过来, 洒在坛上, 利未人剥了祭牲的皮,

35:12 And they set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the clans of the families for the lay people, to offer to Yahweh according to what is written in the scroll of Moses. And thus they did with the bulls.
把作燔祭的部分拿去, 按着各家族的系别分给众民, 使他们可以照着摩西的书上所写的, 奉献给耶和华. 奉献公牛也是这样.

35:13 Then they roasted the Passover lamb in the fire according to the ordinance. And they boiled the holy offerings in pots, in kettles, and in dishes and brought it quickly to the lay people.
他们按照规矩用火烤逾越节的羊羔, 其他的圣物用锅,用釜, 或用煎盘煮熟, 迅速地送给众民;

35:14 And afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night. So the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
然后他们才为自己和祭司预备祭物, 因为作祭司的亚伦的子孙忙于献上燔祭和脂肪, 直到晚上, 利未人才为自己和祭司亚伦的子孙预备祭物.

35:15 And the singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the decree of David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the seer of the king. And the gatekeepers were at each gate. They did not need to depart from their service, for their brothers the Levites had made preparations for them.
歌唱的亚萨的子孙, 照着大卫,亚萨,希幔和王的先见耶杜顿的吩咐, 站在自己的岗位上; 守门的看守各门, 不用离开自己的职务, 因为他们的利未亲族为他们预备了祭物.

35:16 So all the service of Yahweh was prepared on that day to keep the Passover and to sacrifice burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the command of King Josiah.
这样, 当日一切事奉耶和华的职务都安排好了, 就照着约西亚王的吩咐守逾越节, 和在耶和华的祭坛上献上燔祭.

35:17 And the Israelites who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days.
当时在场的以色列人守逾越节, 又守除酵节七天.

35:18 And there was no Passover like it kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. And none of the kings of Israel kept a Passover like that which Josiah and the priests and the Levites, and all of Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, kept.
自从撒母耳先知的日子以来, 在以色列中没有守过像这样的逾越节; 以色列诸王也都没有守过这样的逾越节, 像约西亚,祭司,利未人,犹大众人和在场的以色列人, 以及耶路撒冷的居民守的.

35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.
这逾越节是约西亚在位第十八年守的.

35:20 After all of this that Josiah had prepared for the temple, Neco the king of Egypt went up to make war at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went up to meet him.
约西亚整理好圣殿的一切事以后, 埃及王尼哥上来, 帮助靠近幼发拉底河的迦基米施; 约西亚就出去阻挡他.

35:21 And he sent messengers to him, saying, “What is there between us, O king of Judah? I am not against you yourself this day, but against the house making war against me. And God has commanded me to make haste. Stop opposing God, who is with me that he will not destroy you.”
尼哥差派使者来见约西亚说: “犹大王啊, 我和你有什么不对呢? 我现在不是来攻击你, 而是要攻击和我交战的那国家; 并且神吩咐我要赶快, 你不可干预神的事, 免得他毁灭你, 因为神和我同在. ”

35:22 But Josiah did not turn his face from him, but he disguised himself to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and he went out to fight in the plain of Megiddo.
约西亚却不肯离开他, 反而改了装要和他作战, 不听从神借尼哥所说的话; 于是他去到米吉多平原和尼哥交战.

35:23 And the archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
弓箭手射中了约西亚王; 王对他的臣仆说: “你们把我带走吧, 因为我受了重伤. ”

35:24 So his servants took him out of the chariot and transported him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died and was buried in the burial sites of his ancestors. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned over Josiah.
他的臣仆把他从战车上扶下来, 放在他的第二辆战车上, 把他送回耶路撒冷去, 他跟着就死了, 埋葬在他列祖的坟墓里. 犹大和耶路撒冷的众人都为约西亚哀悼.

35:25 And Jeremiah uttered a lament for Josiah, and all the male and female singers have spoken in their laments about Josiah to this day. And they made them a requirement in Israel, and behold, they are written in the laments.
耶利米为约西亚作了哀歌; 所有歌唱的男女都唱哀歌, 哀悼约西亚, 直到今日; 甚至在以色列中成了定例. 这歌记在哀歌书上.

35:26 Now the remainder of the words of Josiah and his loyal love for what is written in the law of Yahweh
约西亚其余的事迹, 和他按着耶和华律法上所记而行的善事,

35:27 and his words, from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
以及他一生的始末, 都记在以色列和犹大列王记上.

II Chronicles - Chapter 36

36:1 And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and made him king in place of his father in Jerusalem.
犹大地的人民选了约西亚的儿子约哈斯, 立他在耶路撒冷接续他父亲作王.

36:2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
约哈斯登基的时候, 是二十三岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共三个月.

36:3 Then the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and laid a tribute upon the land of one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
埃及王在耶路撒冷把他废了, 又罚犹大地缴纳三千四百公斤银子, 三十四公斤金子.

36:4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Jehoahaz his brother and brought him to Egypt.
后来埃及王立了约哈斯的兄弟以利雅敬作王, 统治犹大和耶路撒冷, 又给他改名叫约雅敬; 尼哥却把约雅敬的兄弟约哈斯带到埃及去了.

36:5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh his God.
约雅敬登基的时候, 是二十五岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共十一年, 行耶和华他的神看为恶的事.

36:6 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon went up against him, and he bound him with bronze fetters to bring him to Babylon.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上来攻打他, 用铜链锁住他, 把他带到巴比伦去.

36:7 And Nebuchadnezzar brought to Babylon the objects of the house of Yahweh and put them into the temple in Babylon.
尼布甲尼撒又把耶和华殿里一部分的器皿带回巴比伦, 放在巴比伦他的神庙里.

36:8 Now the remainder of the words of Jehoiakim and the detestable things that he did and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
约雅敬其余的事迹, 和他所行可憎的事, 以及他的遭遇, 都记在以色列和犹大列王记上. 他的儿子约雅斤接续他作王.

36:9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
约雅斤登基的时候, 是八岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共三个月零十天, 行耶和华看为恶的事.

36:10 And at the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with objects of the treasure of the house of Yahweh. And he made Zedekiah his brother king in Judah and Jerusalem.
过了年, 尼布甲尼撒派人去把约雅斤和耶和华殿里的珍贵的器皿, 一起带到巴比伦来. 他立了约雅斤的叔叔西底家, 作犹大和耶路撒冷的王.

36:11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
西底家登基的时候, 是二十一岁; 他在耶路撒冷作王共十一年,

36:12 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet who spoke for Yahweh.
他行耶和华他的神看为恶的事; 耶利米先知奉耶和华的命令警戒他, 他仍不在耶利米面前谦卑下来.

36:13 And he also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
尼布甲尼撒王曾经使他指着神起誓, 他还是背叛了尼布甲尼撒; 他顽固执拗, 不肯归向耶和华以色列的神.

36:14 All the leaders of the priests and the people likewise increased in unfaithfulness according to all the detestable things of the nations. And they polluted the house of Yahweh that he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
此外, 所有的祭司长和人民也都大大地得罪神, 随从列国所行一切可憎的事; 他们污秽了耶和华在耶路撒冷分别为圣的殿.

36:15 And Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, had repeatedly and persistently sent to them by the hand of his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place.
耶和华他们列祖的神, 因为爱惜自己的子民和居所, 就常常差派使者警戒他们.

36:16 But they were mocking the messengers of God and despising his words and scoffing at his prophets until the wrath of Yahweh rose against his people until there was no remedy.
他们却戏弄神的使者, 藐视他的话, 讥诮他的先知, 以致耶和华的忿怒临到他的子民身上, 直到无法挽救.

36:17 Therefore he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary. He showed no mercy on a young man, a virgin, the elderly, or decrepit. He delivered all into his hand.
耶和华使迦勒底人的王上来攻打他们, 在他们的圣殿里用刀杀了他们的壮丁, 少男和少女以及年老衰弱的, 他们都不怜惜; 耶和华把所有这些人都交在迦勒底王的手里.

36:18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, the storehouses of the house of Yahweh, and the storehouses of the king and his princes, these all he brought to Babylon.
迦勒底王把神殿里所有的器皿, 无论大小, 和耶和华殿里的财宝, 以及王和众领袖的财宝, 都带到巴比伦去.

36:19 And they burned the house of God. And they shattered the walls of Jerusalem and burned its citadels with fire and destroyed all the vessels of its treasuries.
迦勒底人烧了神的殿, 拆毁了耶路撒冷的城墙, 用火烧了城里所有的宫殿, 又毁坏了城里一切珍贵的器皿.

36:20 And he took those who escaped the sword to Babylon. And they became servants to him and to his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia,
脱离刀剑的人, 迦勒底王都把他们掳到巴比伦去, 作他和他的子孙的奴仆, 直到波斯国兴起的时候.

36:21 to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land has enjoyed its Sabbaths. All the days of desolation it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
这样, 就应验了耶和华借耶利米所说的话: 直到这地享满了安息, 因为这地在荒凉的日子, 就享安息, 直到满了七十年.

36:22 And in the first year of Cyrus, the king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also in writing, saying:
波斯王古列元年, 耶和华为要应验他借耶利米所说的话, 就感动波斯王古列的心, 使他通告全国, 并且下诏书说:

36:23 “Thus says Cyrus, king of Persia: ‘Yahweh the God of heaven has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has appointed me to build a house for him at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh his God go up with him.’ ”
“波斯王古列这样说: ‘耶和华天上的神已经把地上万国赐给我. 他指派我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇. 你们中间凡是他的子民, 都可以上去; 愿耶和华他的神和他同在! ’”

Ezra (以斯拉记)

Ezra - Chapter 1

1:1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to accomplish the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia and he sent a message to all of his kingdom and also put the message in writing:
波斯王古列元年, 耶和华为要应验他借耶利米的口所说的话, 就激动波斯王古列的心灵, 使他通令全国, 传达文告说:

1:2 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: Yahweh, the God of the heavens, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he himself has appointed me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
“波斯王古列这样说: ‘耶和华天上的神已经把地上万国赐给我. 他指派我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇.

1:3 Whoever among you who is from all of his people, may his God be with him and may he go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and may he build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
你们中间凡是他的子民, 愿神与他同在的, 都可以上犹大的耶路撒冷去, 建造耶和华以色列的神的殿, 他是在耶路撒冷受敬拜的神.

1:4 And let every survivor, from wherever he resides be assisted by the men of that place with silver and gold, with possessions and domestic animals, and with the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.”
所有余民, 无论寄居在什么地方, 那地方的人都要用金,银,财物,牲畜帮助他, 也要为在耶路撒冷神的殿献上甘心的礼物. ’”

1:5 So the heads of the families for Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites—to all whose spirit God had stirred—prepared to go up and build the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem.
于是, 犹大和便雅悯的族长,祭司,利未人和所有被神激动了心灵的人, 都起来要上去, 重建在耶路撒冷耶和华的殿.

1:6 And all of their neighbors helped them with objects of silver, gold, possessions, domestic animals, and with valuable gifts—besides all of the freewill offering.
他们四围的人都用银器,金子,财物,牲畜和珍贵的礼物协助他们, 另外还有各种甘心奉献的礼物.

1:7 And Cyrus the king brought out the objects of the house of Yahweh that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods.
古列王把耶和华殿里的器皿拿出来, 就是从前尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷拿来放在自己的神庙里的.

全部的金银器皿共有五千四百件. 被掳的人从巴比伦上耶路撒冷去的时候, 设巴萨把这一切器皿都带上去.

Ezra - Chapter 3

3:1 Now the seventh month drew near and the Israelites were in the cities, so the people gathered as one in Jerusalem.
到了七月, 各城里的以色列人, 如同一人, 都在耶路撒冷聚集.

3:2 And Jeshua son of Jehozadak and his brothers the priests stood up, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers built the altar of the God of Israel, in order to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God.
约萨达的儿子耶书亚和作祭司的亲族, 撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和他的兄弟都起来, 建筑以色列神的祭坛, 为要照着神人摩西律法书上所写的, 在祭坛上献燔祭.

3:3 They set up the altar on its foundations, because they were in terror because of the peoples of the lands. And they offered burnt offerings on it for Yahweh, burnt offerings for the morning and the evening.
因为他们惧怕当地的居民, 就在殿的原有根基上建立祭坛, 在祭坛上向耶和华献燔祭, 就是早晚的燔祭.

3:4 And they kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered burnt offerings day by day in number according to the ordinance as described for each day.
他们又按照律法上所记载的守住棚节, 每天照着规定的数目献上当天的燔祭.

3:5 After this, they presented the daily sacrifice of burnt offerings, the offerings for the New Moon Festival, and for all of the appointed times consecrated for Yahweh and for all who gave a freewill offering to Yahweh.
另外, 又献常献的燔祭,月朔献的燔祭和一切耶和华的圣节所献的燔祭, 以及甘心乐意的人向耶和华所献的甘心祭.

3:6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh. But the temple of Yahweh was not yet founded.
从七月一日起, 他们就开始向耶和华献燔祭, 但是那时耶和华的殿还没有立定根基,

3:7 So they gave money to the stone craftsmen and skilled craftsmen, and food, drink, and olive oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the authorization over them of Cyrus king of Persia.
他们把银子给石匠和木匠, 把食物,饮料和油给西顿人和推罗人, 叫他们照着波斯王古列所允许的, 把香柏木从黎巴嫩经海运送到约帕.

3:8 In the second year after their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jehozadak began their work, and the remainder of their brothers the priests and the Levites and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem. They appointed the Levites from twenty years and older to direct the work of the house of Yahweh.
众人来到耶路撒冷神的殿以后, 第二年二月, 撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯,约萨达的儿子耶书亚和他们其余的兄弟, 就是祭司,利未人和所有从被掳之地回到耶路撒冷的人, 就开始动工建造; 又委派二十岁以上的利未人, 监督耶和华殿的工程.

3:9 And Jeshua with his sons and brothers, and Kadmiel and his sons—the sons of Judah—together directed the workers in the house of God, along with the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers the Levites.
耶书亚和他的儿子及兄弟, 甲篾和他的儿子, 就是何达威雅的子孙(“何达威雅的子孙”或译: “犹大人”), 同心协力监督建造神殿的工人, 有利未人希拿达的儿子和兄弟协助他们.

3:10 And the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, and the priests in their apparel with the trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with the cymbals, were positioned to praise Yahweh, as described by King David of Israel.
建筑工人奠立耶和华殿根基的时候, 祭司都穿上礼服, 拿着号筒, 亚萨子孙的利未人, 都拿着响钹, 站在自己的位置, 按照以色列王大卫所定的仪式赞美耶和华.

3:11 And they sang responsively, with praising and thanksgiving to Yahweh saying, “For he is good, for his loyal love is everlasting for Israel.” And all of the people responded with a great shout of joyful acclaim in praise to Yahweh because the house of Yahweh was laid.
他们赞美和称谢, 向耶和华歌唱, 说: “耶和华是至善的, 他向以色列人所施的慈爱永远长存. ”他们赞美耶和华的时候, 众人都大声呼喊, 因为耶和华殿的根基已经奠定.

3:12 But many of the elderly priests, Levites, and heads of the families who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house, but many shouted aloud with joy.
很多年老的祭司,利未人和族长, 曾经见过先前的殿, 眼见这殿的根基再次奠立, 就放声大哭, 但也有许多人高声欢呼,

3:13 No person could distinguish the sound of joyful acclaim from the sound of people weeping, for the people shouted with great joyful acclaim and the sound was heard from afar.
以致分不清到底是欢呼声或哭声. 因为众人都大声呼喊, 这声音在很远的地方也可以听见.

Ezra - Chapter 4

4:1 Now the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned exiles were building a temple for Yahweh the God of Israel.
犹大和便雅悯的敌人听见被掳回来的人为耶和华以色列的神重建圣殿,

4:2 And they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the families, and they said to them, “Let us build with you. Like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to him from the days of Esarhaddon the king of Assyria who brought us up here.
就前来见所罗巴伯和众族长, 对他们说: “请让我们与你们一起建造吧! 因为我们也像你们那样寻求你们的神. 自从亚述王以撒哈顿把我们带上这里的日子以来, 我们一直向他献祭. ”

4:3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of the families of Israel said to them, “It is not for you but for us to build a house for our God. For we ourselves alone will build it for Yahweh the God of Israel, just as Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.”
但所罗巴伯,耶书亚和以色列其余的族长对他们说: “你们不能与我们一同建筑神的殿, 因为波斯王古列王吩咐我们自己为耶和华以色列的神建殿. ”

4:4 Then the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah and made them afraid to build
于是那地方的居民使犹大人的手发软, 惊扰他们的建筑工程.

4:5 and bribed officials against them to frustrate their plan for all the days of Cyrus king of Persia until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
又在波斯王古列的日子, 直到波斯王大利乌在位的时候, 常常贿买参谋, 来敌对犹大人, 要破坏他们的建殿计划.

4:6 In the reign of Ahasuerus, at the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
亚哈随鲁在位的初期, 他们写了诉状, 控告犹大和耶路撒冷的居民.

4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their colleagues wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia. The letter was written in Aramaic and translated from Aramaic.
在亚达薛西年间, 比施兰,米特利达,他别和其余的同僚, 也上书给波斯王亚达薛西, 反对耶路撒冷人, 奏文是用亚兰文写成, 也用亚兰语译出.

4:8 Rehum the royal officer and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows
省长利宏和秘书伸帅写奏本给亚达薛西王, 控告耶路撒冷. 奏文如下:

4:10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar deported and settled in the cities of Samaria and the rest of the province Beyond the River) and now
还有伟大尊贵的亚斯那巴掳来, 安置在撒玛利亚城和河西那边其余地方的居民, 呈上奏文.

4:11 this is the copy of the letter which they sent to him: “To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the province Beyond the River. And now,
这就是他们呈给亚达薛西王的奏文副本: “你的臣仆, 就是河西那边的人, 上奏亚达薛西王:

4:12 be it known to the king that the Jews who have come up from near you to us have gone to Jerusalem. They are building the rebellious and wicked city. They are finishing the wall and repairing the foundation.
奏知大王: 从你那里上到我们这里来的犹大人, 已经到了耶路撒冷这座叛逆和邪恶的城; 他们进行建造, 并且已经修好根基, 开始建造城墙.

4:13 Now be it known to the king that if this city is built and the walls are finished, they will not pay tribute and toll, and the royal revenue will be reduced.
现在奏知大王: 如果这城建成, 墙垣筑好, 他们就不再缴税,进贡和纳粮, 王的国库收入必定受损.

4:14 Now since we eat the salt of the palace and the dishonor of the king is not proper for us to see, we send and make this known to the king,
现在我们既食王家的盐, 不该见王受剥夺, 因此上奏禀告王,

4:15 so that it may be investigated in the book of records of your ancestors. You will find in the book of records and learn that this city is a rebellious city, hurtful to kings and provinces, and they have rebelled in its midst from ancient times. Because of that this city was destroyed.
请王查考先王的记录, 从记录中查知这城是叛逆的城, 对列王和各省都有损害, 自古以来, 城中常有造反的事, 因此这城被拆毁.

4:16 We make known to the king that if this city is built and the walls are finished, you will have nothing in the province Beyond the River.”
我们告知王, 如果这城建成, 墙垣筑好, 河西那边的地方就不再是王的了. ”

4:17 The king sent a reply: “To Rehum the royal officer, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates who live in Samaria and the rest of the province Beyond the River, greetings. And now
王把谕旨送交省长利宏,秘书伸帅, 以及其余住在撒玛利亚和河西的同僚, 说: “愿你们平安.

4:18 the letter that you sent to us has been translated and read before me.
你们呈给我们的奏本已经在我面前清楚诵读了.

4:19 And I issued a decree, and they searched and found that this city from ancient days revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition has been made in it.
我下令考查, 发现这城自古以来反叛列王, 城中常有造反叛乱的事.

4:20 Mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem, governing all the province Beyond the River, to whom tribute, duty, and tax has been given.
从前大能的君王统治耶路撒冷, 治理河西那边的全地, 接受他们缴税,进贡和纳粮.

4:21 So now, issue forth a decree that these men stop and this city not be built, until a decree is issued from me.
现在你们要下令叫这些人停工, 不得重建这城, 等候我的谕令.

4:22 And be careful not to be negligent on this matter. Why should damage grow to hurt kings?”
你们要留心, 不可疏忽这事, 使王的亏损增加. ”

4:23 Then when a copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their associates they returned in a hurry to Jerusalem against the Jews and they stopped them by force and power.
当亚达薛西王谕旨的副本在利宏和秘书伸帅, 以及他们的同僚面前宣读出来以后, 他们就急忙去耶路撒冷到犹大人那里, 用武力强迫他们停工.

4:24 Then the work on the house of God in Jerusalem stopped, and was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
所以, 在耶路撒冷的神殿的工程就停止了, 直到波斯王大利乌在位的第二年.

Ezra - Chapter 5

5:1 Now the prophets, Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and in Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel who was over them.
那时, 哈该先知和易多的儿子撒迦利亚先知奉以色列神的名, 向在犹大地和耶路撒冷的犹大人传讲信息.

5:2 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak set out and began to build the house of God that is in Jerusalem. And with them the prophets of God were helping them.
于是, 撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约萨达的儿子耶书亚都起来, 开始重建在耶路撒冷的神的殿, 神的先知们和他们在一起, 帮助他们.

5:3 At the same time Tattenai, governor of the province Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus: “Who issued you all a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?”
当时, 河西那边的总督达乃和示他．波斯乃, 以及他们的同僚来到他们那里, 这样问他们说: “谁下令叫你们重建这殿, 完成这工程呢? ”

5:4 Then we asked them this: “What are the names of the men who are building this building?”
他们又这样问: “负责这建筑工程的人叫什么名字? ”

5:5 And the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not stop them until the report came to Darius, and then answer was received.
但是神的眼目看顾犹大人的长老, 以致总督等人没有阻止他们建造; 直到这事奏告大利乌王, 得着有关这事的回谕为止.

5:6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor of the province Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai and his associates the envoys who were in the province Beyond the River sent to Darius the king.
这就是河西那边的省长达乃和示他．波斯乃, 以及他们的同僚, 就是在河西那边的亚法萨迦人, 呈给大利乌王的奏文副本.

5:7 They sent to him the report in which was written as follows: “To Darius the king, all peace.
他们在呈给王的奏文中这样写: “愿大利乌王万事平安.

5:8 May it be known to the king that we went to the province of Judah, the house of the great God. It is being built with stone blocks and timber is being put in the walls. This work is being done with diligence and is making progress in their hands.
奏知大王: 我们去过这犹大省, 到了伟大神的殿, 见殿正用光滑石块修建, 梁木插入墙内; 这工程进行审慎而迅速.

5:9 Then we asked those elders and said this to them, ‘Who issued forth to you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?’
于是, 我们就这样问那些长老, 对他们说: ‘谁下令叫你们重建这殿, 完成这工程呢? ’

5:10 We also asked them their names to make them known to you, that we might write down the name of their leaders.
为了奏知大王, 就问他们的名字, 记录他们首领的名.

5:11 And this is the answer they returned to us: ‘We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house that was built formerly many years ago, which a great king of Israel had built and finished.
他们这样答复我们, 说: ‘我们是天地之神的仆人, 正在重建这多年以前已经建好的殿, 就是一位以色列伟大的君王所建成的.

5:12 But because our ancestors angered the God of heaven, he gave them into the hand of the Chaldean King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He destroyed this house and carried away the people to Babylonia.
但因为我们的祖先激怒了天上的神, 神就把他们交在迦勒底人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中; 尼布甲尼撒就拆毁这殿, 把人民掳到巴比伦去.

5:13 But in the first year of King Cyrus of Babylon’s reign he issued forth a decree to build this house of God.
然而在巴比伦王古列元年, 古列王下令重建这神的殿.

5:14 Also, the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took away from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple in Babylonia, King Cyrus removed them from the temple in Babylonia and they were given to Sheshbazzar, whom he appointed governor.
至于从前尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷的殿里掠夺, 带到巴比伦庙里的神殿中的金银器皿, 古列王也从巴比伦的庙中拿出来, 把它们交给一位名叫设巴萨的人, 委任他为总督.

5:15 He said to him, ‘Take these vessels. Go put them in the temple in Jerusalem and let the house of God be built on its site.’
又吩咐他说: 把这些器皿带去, 存放在耶路撒冷的殿中; 使神的殿在原来的地方重建起来.

5:16 Then this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God in Jerusalem. And from that time until now it is being built, but not yet finished.’
于是, 这设巴萨回来, 奠立了在耶路撒冷神的殿的根基; 从那时起, 到现在一直在建造, 还没有完成. ’

5:17 And now, if it seems good for the king, let it be investigated in the house of the treasury of the king in Babylonia to see if a decree was issued forth from King Cyrus to build this house of God in Jerusalem. And let the king send to us his desire on this matter.”
现在王若是以为好, 就请查考王在巴比伦的库房, 看看那里有没有古列王下令, 重建这在耶路撒冷神的殿的谕旨, 并请指示我们王对这事的旨意. ”

Ezra - Chapter 6

6:1 Then King Darius issued forth a decree, and they searched the house of the treasury of scrolls being stored in Babylonia.
于是, 大利乌王下令考查在巴比伦库房的档案,

6:2 But it was in Ecbatana in the province of Media, in the citadel, that a certain scroll had written on it, “A record.
在玛代省的亚马他宫中, 发现了一卷书卷. 其中写着这样的一段记录:

“古列王元年, 古列王颁发有关在耶路撒冷神的殿的命令, 要把这殿重建起来, 作献祭的地方; 要奠立殿的根基. 殿高二十七公尺, 宽二十七公尺.

6:4 with three layers of great stones and a layer of timber. Let the new expenses be paid from the house of the king.
三层光滑石块, 一层新木头, 所有费用由王库支付.

至于从前尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷的殿里掠夺, 带到巴比伦的神殿中的金银器皿, 都要归还, 送到耶路撒冷的殿, 各按原来的地方放在神的殿中. ”

于是大利乌王下令说: “现在, 河西那边的总督达乃和示他．波斯乃, 以及你们的同僚, 就是在河西那边的亚法萨迦人, 你们要远离那里;

6:7 Leave this work of the house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site.
不要干涉这神殿的工程, 让犹大人的总督和犹大人的长老在原来的地方重建神的这殿.

6:8 And I issue forth a decree for what you should do for these elders of the Jews to build this house of God. The full expense will be paid to these men from the riches of the king from the taxes of the province Beyond the River, without delay.
我又下令你要协助这些犹大人的长老重建神的殿, 你要作这事: 从河西那边交给王库的税收中, 拨出充足的经费给他们, 免得工程停顿.

6:9 Whatever may be needed—young bulls, young rams, sheep for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil for the priests in Jerusalem—let it be given to them day by day with no negligence,
他们需用的什么东西, 包括作燔祭献给天上神的公牛犊,公绵羊和绵羊羔; 还有麦子,盐,酒和油, 都要照着在耶路撒冷的祭司们所说, 天天供给他们, 不可疏忽,

6:10 that they may offer incense offerings to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and his children.
好让他们可以献馨香的祭给天上的神, 为王和王的子孙祈求长寿.

6:11 Furthermore, I issue forth a decree that if any person violates this decree, let a beam be pulled out from his house and let him be impaled on it. And let his house be made a pile of rubble on account of this.
我又下令: 无论什么人更改这命令, 就要从他的房屋中拆出一根梁木, 竖起来, 把他挂起, 钉在木上; 又使他的房屋成为粪堆.

6:12 May the God who has set his name there overthrow any king or people who sets his hand to alter or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, issue forth a decree. Let it be done with diligence.”
愿那使自己的名居住在那里的神, 毁灭所有伸手更改这命令, 或要毁坏这在耶路撒冷神的殿的君王和人民. 我大利乌下令, 必须彻底遵行. ”

6:13 Then Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates consequently did with diligence what Darius the king ordered.
于是河西那边的总督达乃,示他．波斯乃和他们的同僚, 彻底遵照大利乌王的指示.

6:14 So the elders of the Jews were building and prospering, through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They finished building by the command of the God of Israel and by the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and King Artaxerxes of Persia.
犹大人的长老因着哈该先知和易多的孙子撒迦利亚的信息, 迅速重建. 他们遵照以色列神的命令, 波斯王古列,大利乌和亚达薛西的命令, 完成重建圣殿的工作.

在奉献这神殿的典礼中, 他们献上公牛一百头,公绵羊二百只,绵羊羔四百只; 又照着以色列支派的数目献上公山羊十二只, 作全以色列的赎罪祭.

他们又照着摩西书上所写, 委派祭司按着编制, 利未人按着班次, 在耶路撒冷神的殿中事奉.

祭司和利未人一起行洁净仪式, 他们就全都洁净了; 于是利未人为所有被掳归回的人和他们作祭司的众亲族, 以及他们自己, 宰杀了逾越节的羊羔.

被掳归回的以色列人和所有脱离当地民族的污秽的人, 一同吃这羊羔, 寻求耶和华以色列的神.

6:22 With joy they celebrated the festival of unleavened bread for seven days, because Yahweh had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them in order to help them with the work of their hands on the house of the God of Israel.
他们欢欢喜喜地守除酵节七天, 因为耶和华使他们欢喜, 又使亚述王的心转向他们, 坚固他们的手作以色列神殿的工程.

8:21 I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava to humble ourselves before our God in order to seek from him a safe journey for us, our children, and our possessions.
“那时, 我在亚哈瓦河边那里宣告禁食, 为要在我们的神面前谦卑下来, 为自己和我们的孩子, 以及我们所有的财物寻求神指示一条畅通的道路.

8:22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for troops and horses to protect us from enemies on the way because we said to the king, “the hand of our God is favorable to all who seek him, but his strength and anger are against all who forsake them.”
我羞于请求王派遣步兵和马兵帮助我们抵御路上的仇敌, 因为我们曾告诉王说: ‘我们神的手必帮助所有寻求他的人, 赐福给他们, 但他的能力和忿怒必攻击所有离弃他的人. ’

8:23 So we fasted and sought our God for this and he responded to our prayer.

8:28 And I said to them, “You are holy to Yahweh and the vessels are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, God of your ancestors.
“我对他们说: ‘你们是归耶和华为圣的, 器皿也是神圣的, 金银是甘心献给耶和华你们列祖的神的礼物.

8:29 Guard and look after them until you weigh them before the chief priests, the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chamber of the house of Yahweh.”
你们要谨慎看守, 直到你们在耶路撒冷耶和华殿的库房里, 在祭司长和利未人的领袖, 以及以色列人的族长面前, 过了秤. ’

8:34 The amount and weight of all the weighed items was recorded at that time.
一切物品按着数目称过; 同时每件的重量都记录下来.

8:35 The exiles that returned from captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel; twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve goats as a sin offering. All was a burnt offering to Yahweh.
“那时, 从被掳归回的人都向以色列的神献燔祭, 就是为全以色列献公牛十二头,公绵羊九十六只,绵羊羔七十七只; 又献公山羊十二只作赎罪祭; 这一切都是献给耶和华的燔祭.

他们把王的命令交给王的总督和河西那边的省长, 他们就帮助民众和神殿的需要. ”

Ezra - Chapter 9

9:1 After finishing these things the officials approached me saying, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated from the people of the lands with their detestable things, and from the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.
“完成这些事以后, 众领袖前来见我, 说: ‘以色列民,祭司和利未人没有从当地的民族中分别出来, 他们随从迦南人,赫人,比利洗人,耶布斯人,亚扪人,摩押人,埃及人和亚摩利人行可憎的事.

9:2 For they have taken from their daughters for themselves and their sons. So the holy seed has mixed itself with the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the officials and prefects were foremost in this sin.
他们为自己和自己的儿子娶了这些外族的女子为妻, 以致圣洁的种族与当地的民族混杂了; 而领袖和官长竟是这不忠的事的罪魁. ’

9:3 When I heard this I tore my garment and my robe, and I pulled the hair out from my head and beard, and I sat appalled.
我一听见这事, 就撕裂我的衣服和外袍, 拔掉头上的头发和胡须, 惊惧地坐着.

9:4 Then all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel because of the sin of the returned exiles were gathered around me and I sat appalled until the evening offering.
所有因着以色列神针对被掳归回的人之不忠,对他们所说的话而战兢的人, 都聚集到我面前. 我惊惧地坐着, 直到献晚祭的时候.

9:5 At the evening offering I got up from my mourning posture and, with my garment and robe torn, I fell down on my knees and I spread out my palms to Yahweh my God
“献晚祭的时候, 我在禁食中起来, 穿着撕裂了的衣服和外袍, 双膝跪下, 向耶和华我的神张开双手,

9:6 and said, “My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face to you, my God. For our sins have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.
祷告说: ‘我的神啊, 我感觉羞耻惭愧, 不敢向我的神你仰面; 因为我们的罪孽多至灭顶, 我们的罪过滔天.

9:7 From the days of our ancestors until this day we have been in great guilt, and because of our sins we ourselves, our kings, and our priests have been handed into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to utter shame, as it is this day.
从我们列祖的日子直到今日, 我们罪恶深重, 由于我们的罪孽, 我们和我们的王, 以及祭司, 都被交在各地的列王手中: 被刀杀,被掳掠,被抢夺, 丢脸蒙羞, 就像今天的光景一样.

9:8 But now for a brief moment mercy has been shown by Yahweh our God, who left behind for us a remnant, and given us security in his holy place—for our God to brighten our eyes and to give us brief relief in our bondage.
现在, 耶和华我们的神恩待我们片时, 给我们存留一些逃脱的人, 使我们像钉子钉在他的圣所那样的安稳, 让我们的神光照我们的眼睛, 使我们在所受的奴役中稍得复兴.

9:9 For we are slaves and in our bondage our God did not forsake us, and he has extended to us loyal love in the presence of the kings of Persia, to give to us deliverance and to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judea and Jerusalem.
虽然我们是奴隶, 但在奴役中, 我们的神仍然没有撇弃我们, 反而使我们在波斯列王面前得蒙恩惠, 使我们复兴, 建立我们神的殿, 重修毁坏的地方, 使我们在犹大和耶路撒冷有墙垣.

9:10 “And now our God what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,
我们的神啊, 现在, 我们还可以说什么呢? 只能说: 我们又离弃了你的诫命,

9:11 which you commanded by the hand of your servants the prophets saying, ‘The land that you are entering to possess is a land of impurity with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, with their detestable things which they have filled from end to end with their uncleanness.
就是你曾借着你的仆人众先知所吩咐的. 你说: 你们进去要得为业之地是污秽的, 充满了当地民族的污秽, 他们可憎的事使这地从这边到那边都充满了他们的不洁.

9:12 Therefore, do not give your daughters to their sons, and do not take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek their peace and prosperity so that forever you may be strong and eat the good of the land and may give it as an inheritance to your sons.’
所以, 你们不可把你们的女儿嫁给他们的儿子, 也不可为你们的儿子娶他们的女儿. 你们永远不可寻求他们的平安和他们的利益; 这样, 你们就可以强盛, 吃这地的美物, 把这地留给你们的子孙作产业, 直到永远.

9:13 After all that has come upon us for our evil practices and for our great guilt—you, our God, have held back less than our guilt deserved and you have given us a remainder such as this.
虽然因着我们许多的恶行和重大的罪过, 这一切就临到我们身上, 但我们的神啊, 你惩罚我们实在轻于我们的罪孽所应得的, 还给我们留下这些逃脱的人.

9:14 Shall we again break your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who practice these detestable things? Would you not be angry with us until you destroy us with no remnant or remainder?
我们怎可以再违背你的诫命, 与这些行可憎事的民族通婚呢? 如果我们这样行, 你岂不向我们发怒, 消灭我们, 以致没有一个剩余, 或是逃脱的人吗?

9:15 Yahweh, God of Israel, you are righteous, for we have been left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before you because of this.”
耶和华以色列的神啊, 你是公义的! 我们现今才可以留下, 成为逃脱的人. 看哪, 我们在你面前是有罪过的, 因此没有人能在你面前站立得住. ’”

Ezra - Chapter 10

10:1 While Ezra was praying and confessing, weeping and throwing himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children from Israel gathered to him. And the people wept bitterly.
以斯拉祷告,认罪,哭泣, 俯伏在神的殿前的时候, 有一大群以色列人, 包括男女小孩, 在他面前聚集; 众人也都痛哭.

10:2 Shecaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, “We ourselves have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, and even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.
属以拦的子孙,耶歇的儿子示迦尼对以斯拉说: “我们对神不忠, 娶了这地这外族女子为妻. 虽然这样, 以色列现在还有希望.

10:3 So now let us make a covenant with our God to send away all of these women and their offspring, according to the advice of my lord and those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
现在, 我们应当与我们的神立约, 按着我主和那些因我们神的诫命而战兢的人所议定的, 照着律法而行, 送走这些妻子和她们所生的儿女.

10:4 Arise, for it is your task and we are with you. Be strong and do it.”
你起来! 因为这事全在你身上, 我们支持你, 你当坚强地去作. ”

10:5 Then Ezra stood up and made the chief priests, Levites, and all of Israel swear to do according to what was said. So they swore this oath.
于是以斯拉起来, 使祭司首领,利未人和以色列众人起誓要照着这话去行; 他们就起誓.

10:6 Ezra rose from before the house of God and went to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat food nor drink water because he was mourning over the sin of the exiles.
以斯拉就从神的殿前起来, 走进以利亚实的儿子约哈难的屋里去; 他在那里不吃饭, 也不喝水, 因为他为了被掳归回的人的不忠而悲伤.

10:7 And they sent a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem to all the returned exiles to assemble in Jerusalem.
于是, 领袖们就在犹大和耶路撒冷向所有被掳归回的人发出通告, 叫他们到耶路撒冷聚集.

10:8 Anyone who did not come within three days, by decision of the officials and elders, all of his possessions would be devoted to God, and he himself would be excluded from the assembly of exiles.
所有不照着众领袖和众长老所议定, 在三日之内来到的人, 所有的财物都要充公, 也要从被掳归回之人的会中被逐出.

10:9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month on the twentieth day of the month. All the people sat in the public square of the house of God trembling because of this matter and from the rains.
于是犹大和便雅悯众人, 三日之内都在耶路撒冷聚集, 那时是九月二十日, 众人坐在神殿的广场上; 因为这事, 又因为天下大雨的缘故, 大家就都战栗发抖.

10:10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have broke faith and married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
以斯拉祭司站起来, 对他们说: “你们对神不忠, 娶了外族的女子为妻, 增添了以色列的罪过.

10:11 Now make a confession to Yahweh the God of your ancestors and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
现在你们要向耶和华你们列祖的神认罪, 遵行他所喜悦的旨意, 与这地的民族和外族的女子分离. ”

10:12 Then all the assembly answered with a great voice and said, “It is so. We must do according to your words.
全体会众都大声回答说: “你怎么说, 我们就怎么行.

10:13 But the people are many, and it is the time of rain; we are unable to stand outside. The task is not for one day or two, for we greatly rebelled in this matter.
可是人太多, 又逢下大雨的季节, 我们不能停留在外面; 这又不是一两天可以完成的事, 因为我们很多人在这事上犯了罪!

10:14 Please let our leaders stand for the whole assembly, and let all that are in our cities who have married foreign women come at set times, and with them the elders of and judges of each city, until the fierce wrath of our God because of this matter is averted from us.”
让我们的领袖代表全体会众站在耶和华面前, 所有在我们的城中娶了外族女子为妻的人, 也都要在指定的日期, 与本城的长老和审判官一起来, 解决了这事, 好使神因这事所发的烈怒离开我们. ”

10:15 Only Jehonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah stood against this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai supported them.
只有亚撒黑的儿子约拿单和特瓦的儿子雅哈谢起来反对这提议, 还有米书兰和利未人沙比太支持他们.

10:16 The returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest selected men, the heads of the families according to the house of their fathers, all of them by name. They sat down to examine the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
于是, 被掳归回的人就这样行. 以斯拉祭司提名选派了一些人, 他们是各宗族的族长, 他们在十月初一坐下来查办这事.

10:17 They finished investigating all the men who married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
直到正月初一, 他们才完成审查所有娶了外族的女子为妻的人.

10:18 There was found from the sons of the priests those who had married foreign women, from the sons of Jeshua son of Jehozadak and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
在祭司子孙中, 娶了外族的女子为妻的有耶书亚的子孙, 约萨达的儿子和他的兄弟玛西雅,以利以谢,雅立,基大利.

Nehemiah (尼希米记)

Nehemiah - Chapter 1

1:1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah. It happened in the month of Kislev, in the twentieth year, that I myself was in the citadel in Susa,
哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的言行录: 亚达薛西王二十年基斯流月, 我在书珊宫中,

1:2 and one of my brothers, Hanani, came with some men from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had escaped the captivity and about Jerusalem.
我的一位兄弟哈拿尼和几个人一起从犹大来到; 我询问他们关于那些从被掳逃脱的犹大余民和关于耶路撒冷的景况.

1:3 They replied to me, “The survivors in the province who have survived the captivity are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned in the fire.”
他们对我说: “那些从被掳剩下的余民, 在犹大省那里遭遇患难, 受到凌辱. 耶路撒冷的城墙倒塌, 城门也被火烧毁. ”

1:4 When I heard these words, I sat and wept and mourned for days, and I was fasting and praying before the God of the heavens.
我听见了这些事, 就坐下哭泣, 悲伤了好几天, 在天上的神面前禁食祷告,

1:5 I said, “O Yahweh God of the heavens, the great and awesome one who keeps the covenant and loyal love for the ones who love him and for those who keep his commands.
说: “耶和华天上的神, 伟大可畏的神啊, 你向那些爱你, 遵守你诫命的人, 守约施慈爱.

1:6 Please, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I am praying before you by day and by night for your servants, the Israelites, and confessing the sins of the Israelites that we have sinned against you. I and my father’s house have sinned.
求你侧着耳, 睁着眼的, 垂听你仆人的祷告, 我今天在你面前昼夜为着你的仆人以色列人祷告, 承认以色列人所犯的罪, 就是我与我父的家向你所犯的罪.

1:7 We have certainly offended you and have not kept the commands, regulations, and judgments that you have commanded your servant Moses.
我们故意行极大的恶事得罪你, 没有遵守你吩咐你仆人摩西的诫命,律例和典章.

1:8 Please, remember the word that you have commanded to your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you act unfaithfully I will scatter you all among the nations.
求你记念你吩咐你仆人摩西的话, 说: ‘你们若是不忠, 我就把你们分散在万民中.

1:9 But if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, even though all of your outcasts are at the furthest parts of heaven, I will gather them and bring them to the place which I have chosen to make my name dwell.’
但如果你们回心转意归向我, 谨守遵行我的诫命, 即使在你们被赶逐的天边, 我也必从那里把他们招聚回来, 带他们到我选择给我的名居住的地方那里去. ’

1:10 They are your servants and your people whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand.
这些都是你的仆人, 你的子民, 是你用你的大能和你强而有力的手所救赎的.

1:11 O Lord, please let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight to revere in your name. Please, let your servant be successful this day and give him compassion before this man.” I was cupbearer for the king.
主啊, 求你留意听你仆人的祷告, 听那些喜爱敬畏你名的仆人的祷告; 求你使你的仆人今天顺利, 使他在这人面前蒙怜悯. ”那时我是王的酒政.

Nehemiah - Chapter 2

2:1 It happened in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I carried the wine and gave it to the king. And I had never been sad before the king.
亚达薛西王二十年尼散月, 王面前摆上了酒席, 我拿酒来奉给王. 我在他面前素来没有露出愁容.

2:2 So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad since you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of the heart.” And I was very much afraid.
王却问我: “你既然没有病, 为什么面带愁容呢? 这没有别的可能, 必是心中愁烦. ”我就非常惧怕,

2:3 I said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad when the city of my ancestors’ burial site is ruined and her gates are consumed by fire?”
对王说: “愿王万岁, 我列祖坟墓所在的城成了荒芜之地, 城门被火焚毁, 我怎能不面带愁容呢? ”

2:4 Then the king said to me, “What is your request?” So I prayed to the God of the heavens.
王问我: “你想要什么呢? ”我就向天上的神祷告,

2:5 Then I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your presence, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my ancestors’ burial sites, so that I may rebuild it.”
然后对王说: “如果王认为好, 仆人能在你面前蒙恩宠, 就请你差派我往犹大, 到我列祖坟墓所在的城去, 让我重建那城. ”

2:6 With the queen sitting beside him, the king said to me, “How long will your journey be and when will you return?” So it pleased the king and he sent me, and I set for him an appointed time.
那时, 王后坐在王的旁边. 王问我: “你的行程需时多久? 你什么时候回来? ”王既然认为好, 就差派我去, 我也定了一个归期.

2:7 Then I said to the king, “If it is good for the king, let letters be given to me for the governors in the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass until I come to Judah.
我又问王: “王若是认为好, 请赐给我诏书, 通知河西那边的省长准我经过, 直至我到达犹大;

2:8 Also, a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king’s land reserve, that he should give me timber for laying the beams for the gates of the citadel of the house and for the walls of the city, and for the house which I will enter.” And the king gave permission to me, according to the good hand of God on me.
又赐诏书, 给看守王的园林的亚萨, 吩咐他给我木材, 建造圣殿的营楼大门的横梁, 以及建造城墙和我要入住的房屋. ”因为我的神施恩的手帮助我, 王就赐给我这一切.

2:9 I came to the governors of the province Beyond the River, and I gave them the letters of the king. Then the king sent troop commanders and horses with me.
于是我到了河西那边的省长那里去, 把王的诏书交给他们; 王又派了军长和马兵护送我.

2:10 But when Sanballat the Horonite and the Ammonite servant Tobiah heard this, they were greatly displeased that a person had come to seek the welfare of the Israelites.
和伦人参巴拉和作臣仆的亚扪人多比雅听见有人来到, 要为以色列求利益, 他们就非常恼怒.

2:11 I came to Jerusalem and was there for three days.
我到了耶路撒冷, 在那里停留了三天.

2:12 I got up during the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anybody what my God put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. No animal was with me except the animal that I was riding on.
我在夜间起来, 和几个人一起出去, 我没有告诉任何人我的神使我定意要为耶路撒冷作的事, 除了我所骑的一头牲口以外, 没有带着别的牲口.

2:13 I went out during the night at the gate of the valley by the Dragon spring and to the Dung Gate. And I examined the walls in Jerusalem and its gates that had been destroyed by the fire.
我夜间出了谷门, 向着龙泉走去, 到了粪门, 视察耶路撒冷破坏了的城墙和被火焚毁的城门.

2:14 I crossed over to the Fountain Gate and to the King’s Pool, but there was no place for my mount to cross over.
我又往前走, 到了泉门和王池, 因为地方不够让我骑着牲口过去,

2:15 So I went up by the valley during the night and was examining the wall. Then I returned and came to the Valley Gate and returned.
我只得在夜间沿溪而上, 视察城墙, 然后转回, 经过谷门, 回到城里.

2:16 The prefects did not know where I had gone and what I was doing. I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the prefects, and the rest of the workers.
没有一个官长知道我去过什么地方, 作了什么事. 我也一直没有告诉犹大人,或祭司,或贵胄,或官长, 或其余作工的人.

2:17 Then I said to them, “You see the misery that we are in, that Jerusalem is ruined and its gates burned by the fire. Come, build the walls of Jerusalem and we shall no longer be a disgrace.”
后来我对他们说: “你们都看见我们遭遇的患难: 耶路撒冷成了荒芜之地, 城门被火焚毁, 你们都来吧! 让我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙, 免得我们再受凌辱. ”

2:18 I told them of the good hand of my God that was upon me and surely the words of the king that were spoken to me. And they said, “Let us arise and build!” And they strengthened their hands for this good work.
我告诉他们, 我的神施恩的手怎样帮助我, 以及王对我所说的话; 他们就说: “我们要起来建造! ”于是他们奋勇着手作这善工.

2:19 But Sanballat the Horonite, the Ammonite servant Tobiah, and Geshem the Arab heard it, and they mocked and despised us, saying, “What is this thing that you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?”
但和伦人参巴拉和作臣仆的亚扪人多比雅, 以及阿拉伯人基善听见了, 就讥笑我们, 藐视我们, 说: “你们在干什么? 你们要背叛王吗? ”

2:20 Then I answered and said to them, “The God of the heavens himself will let us succeed, and we his servants shall arise and build. But for you there is no share, right, or memorial in Jerusalem.”
我回答他们说: “天上的神必使我们成功; 我们是他的仆人, 我们要起来建造, 但你们在耶路撒冷无分,无权, 无人记念. ”

Nehemiah - Chapter 4

4:1 Now it happened when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he became angry and greatly provoked, and he mocked the Jews.
当参巴拉听见我们正在重建城墙, 就很忿怒, 非常恼恨, 并且讥讽犹大人.

4:2 Then he said before his brothers and the army of Samaria, “What are the feeble Jews doing? Will they restore these things for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the piles of rubble—even those burned up?”
在他的兄弟和撒玛利亚的军队面前, 说: “这些软弱的犹大人在作什么呢? 想自己修筑城墙吗? 想要献祭吗? 想要在一天之内完成吗? 想要使废土堆中被火烧过的石头复活吗? ”

4:3 Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him and said, “Their wall of stone that they are building would break down if a fox went on it!”
亚扪人多比雅在参巴拉旁边说: “这些人建造的, 只要一只狐狸走上去, 石墙就崩塌. ”

4:4 Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn their scorn on their head and give them over to plunder in the land of captivity.
“我们的神啊, 求你垂听, 我们被藐视, 求你使他们的毁谤归到他们头上, 使他们在被掳之地成为掠物.

4:5 Do not cover their guilt, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you. They have provoked the builders to anger.
不要遮蔽他们的罪孽, 也不要从你面前涂抹他们的罪恶, 因为他们在这些建造的人面前惹你发怒. ”

4:6 So we rebuilt the wall, and all of the wall was joined up to half its height. For the people had a heart to do it.
这样, 我们重建城墙, 把全部城墙连接起来, 城墙达到一半的高度, 因为众人都全心作工.

4:7 Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the restoration of the walls of Jerusalem were going forward and the gaps were being closed, they were very angry.
当参巴拉,多比雅,阿拉伯人,亚扪人,亚实突人听见耶路撒冷城墙重修工程仍然进行, 已经堵塞城墙的缺口, 就非常忿怒.

4:8 So all of them plotted together to come fight against Jerusalem and to make trouble for it.
他们就一同计划阴谋要来攻击耶路撒冷, 制造混乱.

4:9 So we prayed to our God and set up a guard against them day and night.
所以我们向我们的神祷告, 又因他们的缘故, 设立守卫, 日夜防备他们.

4:10 But Judah said, “The strength of the carriers is failing, and there is too much dirt, and we are not able to build at the wall.”
因为有些犹大人说: “搬运的人气力已经衰弱, 但瓦砾仍多, 我们不能再建城墙了! ”

4:11 Then our enemies said, “They will not know nor see until we come upon them and will kill them and stop the work.”
同时我们的敌人说: “趁着他们不知道, 还未看见之前, 我们就进入他们中间, 杀死他们, 使那工程停止. ”

4:12 When the Jews who lived beside them came, they said to us ten times, “From all of the places where they live, they will come up against us.”
住在他们附近的一些犹大人, 也曾十次前来通知我们说: “他们将从各方上来攻击你们. ”(或译: “他们十次从各方来对我们说: ‘你们来到我们这里吧! ’”本节颇残缺, 意义难确定. )

4:13 I stationed the people behind the deepest part of the wall in the open places according to their families, with their swords, spears, and bows.
所以我分派众人站岗, 在低洼或高处, 在城墙后隐蔽处或空旷的地方, 叫他们按着家族, 带着刀,枪和弓.

4:14 And I looked, got up, and said to the nobles, prefects, and the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
我巡视之后, 就起来, 对贵族,官长和其余的人民说: “不要怕他们, 要记得主是伟大可畏的, 要为你们的兄弟,儿女,妻子和你们的家争战. ”

4:15 It happened when our enemies heard that their plan was known to us, that God had frustrated it, and we all returned to the wall—each to his work.
我们的仇敌既然听见我们知道了这阴谋, 神也破坏了他们的计谋, 就不敢来了. 我们全都回到城墙那里, 各人回到原来的工作岗位.

4:16 From that day, half of my servants were working on craftsmanship, half were holding spears, small shields, bows, and breastplates. The commanders were behind the whole house of Judah.
从那天起, 我的仆人一半工作, 一半紧握着枪,盾牌,弓和盔甲. 众领袖都站在犹大全家的后面.

4:17 The ones who were building the wall and the ones who carried the materials were carrying in one hand while doing the task, and with the other hand were grasping a weapon.
那些在城墙建造城墙, 搬运重物的, 都是一只手作工, 一只手紧握兵器.

4:18 Each of the builders had his sword tied to his side while building. And the man who sounded the trumpet was beside me.
建造的人, 都腰间佩着刀来建造; 吹号角的人在我旁边.

4:19 I said to the nobles, to the prefects, and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widespread, and we are spread out over the wall far from each other.
我对贵族,官长和其余的人民说: “这工程浩大, 范围广阔; 我们在城墙上彼此相隔很远.

4:20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, come together to us there. Our God will fight for us.”
所以你们无论在什么地方, 一听见号角声, 就要集合到我们那里来. 我们的神必为我们争战. ”

4:21 So we labored at the work, and half of them were holding the spears from dawn until the stars came out.
我们就这样作工; 一半人紧握着枪, 从黎明直到星宿出现的时候.

4:22 At the time I also said to the people, “Let each man and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they will be a guard for us in the night and work in the day.”
那时, 我又对众人说: “各人和他的仆人都要在耶路撒冷城中过夜, 这样他们可以在夜间作我们的守卫, 日间工作. ”

4:23 So neither I nor my brothers nor my young men nor the men of the guard who were behind me took off our clothes. Each one kept his weapon even in the water.
这样, 我与我的兄弟,我的仆人和跟随我的人, 都不脱衣服, 各人时常右手拿着自己的兵器(原文残缺, 传统有译作“各人只有在沐浴时才脱衣服”, 或“各人打水的时候, 都手里拿着自己的兵器”).

Nehemiah - Chapter 5

5:1 Now there was a great cry of distress of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers.
那时, 民众和他们的妻子大声呼冤, 控告自己的同胞犹大人.

5:2 There were those who were saying, “Our sons and daughters, we are many. We must get grain so that we may eat and live.”
有些人说: “我们和儿女人口众多, 给我们五谷糊口, 可以存活. ”

5:3 There were also those saying, “We have pledged our fields and our vineyards and our houses so that we can get grain in the famine.”
有些人说: “我们抵押了自己的田地,葡萄园和房屋, 为要在饥荒中买到五谷. ”

5:4 And there were those who were saying, “We have borrowed money on our fields and our vineyards for the tax of the king.
有些人说: “我们为了要借钱向王纳税, 只好抵押了我们的田地和葡萄园.

5:5 Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our sons are like their sons. Look, we are subduing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and there are some from our daughters being molested. We are powerless, and our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
虽然我们的身体与我们同胞的身体一样, 我们的儿女与他们的儿女也相同, 可是我们却要强迫自己的儿女去作仆婢, 而且我们的女儿有些已经作了奴婢, 我们却无能为力, 因为我们的田地和葡萄园已经属于别人了. ”

5:6 I was very angry when I heard their shouts and these words.
我听见他们的哀叫和所讲的这些事, 就十分忿怒.

5:7 I thought over this in my heart, and then I quarreled with the nobles and the prefects. I said to them, “You yourselves are taking interest from your own brother!” So I called the great assembly against them,
我心中筹算一番以后, 就谴责贵族和官长, 对他们说: “你们各人向自己的同胞贷款, 竟然索取高利! ”于是我召开大会攻击他们.

5:8 and I said to them: “We ourselves have bought back our brothers the Jews who were sold to the nations as we were able. But now you yourselves have sold your brothers so they may be sold to us!” They were silent and could not find a word to say.
我对他们说: “我们已尽了我们的能力, 把那些卖了给外族人的同胞犹大人买赎回来, 而你们还想要出卖你们的同胞, 好让我们再把他们买回来吗? ”他们都默不作声, 无话可说.

5:9 So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God to prevent the disgrace from the nations, our enemies?
我又说: “你们这事作得不对. 你们岂不应怀着敬畏我们神的心行事为人, 免遭我们的仇敌外族人的毁谤吗?

5:10 Also, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please stop taking this interest.
现在我和我的兄弟, 以及我的仆人要把银钱和五谷借给他们. 让我们大家都放弃放债取利吧!

5:11 Please restore to them this day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, their houses, and the interest on the money, the grain, the grape juice, and the olive oil that you have been taking from them.”
请你们今天就把他们的田地,葡萄园,橄榄园,房屋, 以及你们向他们索取的利息: 百分之一的利钱,五谷,新酒和新油, 都归还给他们. ”

5:12 So they said, “We will restore it and will not request anything more. So we will do as you say.” Then I called the priests and made them take an oath to do this promise.
他们就说: “我们必定归还, 不再向他们要求利息了, 你怎么说, 我们愿意照着你说的去行. ”我就把祭司们召了来, 叫众人起誓必照着这话去行.

5:13 I also shook out my garment and said, “This is how God will shake out everyone from his house who will not keep this promise. So this is how his possessions will be shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said, “Amen!” And they praised Yahweh, and the people kept this promise.
我抖着胸前的衣襟说: “不履行这话的, 愿神也是这样抖他离开他的家和产业, 直到抖空. ”全体会众都说: “阿们! ”又赞美耶和华. 众人都照着这话去行.

5:14 Moreover, from the appointed day I was made their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes—twelve years. My brothers and I did not eat the food allowance of the governor.
自从我奉命在犹大地作他们省长的日子以来, 就是从亚达薛西王二十年, 直到三十二年, 共十二年, 我和我的兄弟都没有吃过省长的俸禄.

5:15 The former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and they took food and wine from them, besides forty shekels. Also, their servants controlled the people, but I did not do so because of the fear of God.
在我们以先的前任省长, 重压人民, 每日都向他们索取粮食和酒, 以及四百五十六克银子. 连他们的仆人也辖制人民, 但我因为敬畏神, 就不这样行.

5:16 I also devoted myself to the work of this wall, and we did not buy land. All of my servants were gathered for the work.
我坚持只重修城墙的工程; 所以我们不购置田产, 我所有的仆人也都聚集在那里工作.

5:17 One hundred and fifty men, prefects and Jews, and those who came to us from the nations around us, were at my table.
在我桌上吃饭的, 有一百五十个犹大人和官长, 还有那些从我们四围外族来到我们这里的人;

5:18 Now what was prepared each day for me was one ox, six choice sheep, and birds. And every ten days all kinds of wine were made. But for this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor because the slavery was too heavy on this people.
每天预备牛一头,肥羊六只, 又为我预备一些飞禽; 每十天供应大量各类的酒. 虽然这样, 我仍然没有索取省长的俸禄, 因为这些人服役已经负担沉重.

5:19 Remember me for good, my God, all that I have done for this people.
“我的神啊, 求你记念我, 记念我为这人民所作的一切事, 施恩给我. ”

Nehemiah - Chapter 6

6:1 Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall and that no gap was left in it—though up to that time I had not erected doors in the gates—
参巴拉,多比雅,阿拉伯人基善和我们其余的仇敌听见我重建好了城墙, 城墙再没有破口. 不过那时我还没有在城门上装上门扇.

6:2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they planned to do evil to me.
参巴拉和基善就差派人来见我说: “请你来, 我们在阿那平原上的一个村庄会面吧! ”其实他们想要谋害我.

6:3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I am not able to come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you all?”
于是我差派使者去见他们说: “我正在进行大工程, 不能去. 我怎能放下这工程, 去见你们, 使这工程停顿呢? ”

6:4 And they sent a message to me four times like this, and I returned an answer like this to them.
他们连续四次这样差派人来见我, 我都这样回复他们.

6:5 And Sanballat sent his servant with an open letter, another word like this to me a fifth time, in his hand.
参巴拉第五次这样差派他的仆人来见我, 手里拿着一封没有封口的信.

6:6 In it was written, “It has been reported among the nations, and Gashmu also is saying it, that you and the Jews are considering rebellion. Therefore, truly you are building the wall and you are becoming their king, according to these words.
信上写着: “在各民族中有这样的传说, 迦施慕也说: ‘你和犹大人阴谋造反, 所以你才重建城墙, 据说, 你还想要作他们的王. ’

6:7 You have also set up prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah.’ And now it will be proclaimed to the king according to these words. Now, come and we will plan together.”
你又设立先知在耶路撒冷指着你宣讲, 说: ‘犹大有王了. ’现在这些话必会传到王那里. 所以请你来, 我们一起商量商量吧. ”

6:8 So I sent to him saying, “None of these words you have spoken has happened. You are indeed saying things created in your own mind”—
我就回复他, 说: “你说的这些事不是事实, 都是你从心里捏造出来的. ”

6:9 for all of them sought to frighten us, saying, “their hands will not do the work.” And now, God, strengthen my hands.
其实他们众人是在恐吓我们, 心里说: “他们的手必软弱, 不能再作这工程, 不会完工了! ”但我的手更坚定作工.

6:10 Now I went into the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined at home, and he said, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple; for they are coming to kill you—during the night they are coming to kill you.”
我来到米希大别的孙子,第来雅的儿子示玛雅的家里; 那时, 他闭门不出, 他说: “我们在神的殿里, 在殿的大堂中会面吧! 我们要把殿门关起来, 因为他们要来杀你, 在夜间来杀你. ”

6:11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? And would a man like me go into the temple so that he can save his life? I will not go in!”
我回答: “像我这样的人, 怎可以逃跑呢? 哪有像我这样的人, 进入圣殿里去保全自己的性命呢? 我决不进去! ”

6:12 Then I look and realized God had not sent him; rather, he had spoken the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
我看出神并没有差派他, 是他自己宣讲这话攻击我, 因为多比雅和参巴拉收买了他.

6:13 For this reason he was hired: to frighten me so that I would act and sin, so that they would have a bad report so they could taunt me.
他被收买, 是要使我惧怕, 照着他说的去作, 以致犯罪, 他们就破坏我的名声来毁谤我.

6:14 Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to their works, and also Noadiah the prophetess, and the remainder of the prophets who were frightening me.
“我的神啊, 求你记住多比雅和参巴拉, 按着他们所行的报应他们; 也要报应女先知挪亚底和其余的先知, 因为他们恐吓我. ”

6:15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.
以禄月二十五日, 城墙建成, 整个工程共用了五十二天.

6:16 When our enemies heard of this, all of the nations surrounding us were afraid and lost their confidence. They knew that this work had been done with the help of our God.
我们所有的仇敌听见了, 我们四围所有的民族都惧怕, 敌人的声势一落千丈, 他们都承认这工程是靠着我们神的帮助完成的.

6:17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah increasingly sent their letters to Tobiah, and letters from Tobiah returned to them.
在这段日子, 犹大人的贵族写了许多信给多比雅, 多比雅也常常回信给他们.

6:18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah. His son Jehohanan took as a wife the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.
在犹大有许多人与多比雅结盟; 因为他是亚拉的儿子,示迦尼的女婿, 并且他的儿子约哈难娶了比利迦的儿子米书兰的女儿为妻.

6:19 They also were speaking of his good deeds in my presence, and they were sending my words out to him. Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
不但这样, 他们也常常在我面前提起多比雅的善行, 又把我说的话传给他; 多比雅又常常寄信来恐吓我.

Nehemiah - Chapter 7

7:1 Now when the wall had been built and I had erected the doors and appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and the Levites,
城墙建成后, 我就装上门扇, 委派了守门的,歌唱者和利未人,

7:2 I gave command over Jerusalem to my brother Hanani and Hananiah the commander of the citadel. For he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
我委任我的兄弟哈拿尼和营楼长哈拿尼雅, 管理耶路撒冷, 因为哈拿尼雅是个可信靠的人, 敬畏神胜过许多人.

7:3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While they are standing guard let them shut and fasten the doors. And appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, one at his post and another opposite his house.”
我吩咐他们说: “日上中天时, 耶路撒冷的城门也不可长久敞开; 太阳还停着未落, 守门的人站岗的时候, 也要关好门, 要派耶路撒冷的居民站岗, 一些人在哨岗, 另一些人在自己的屋前瞭望. ”

7:4 The city was widespread and large, but the people in it were few and no houses were rebuilt.
城既宽阔又广大, 但城中的居民稀少; 房屋还没有建造起来.

7:5 Then my God put into my heart to assemble the nobles, the prefects, and the people to be enrolled. I found the book of the genealogy of those who first came back, and I found this written upon it:
我的神使我的心定意, 召集贵族,官长和人民, 要照家谱登记. 我找到头一次上来的人的家谱, 我找到的家谱上面写着:

7:64 These sought their record among those enrolled in the genealogy, but it was not found there, so they were excluded as unclean from the priesthood.
这些人查考族谱的记录, 却找不着, 因此他们算为不洁净, 不能作祭司.

7:65 So the governor said to them that they could not eat the most holy food until a priest could come with Urim and Thummim.

有些族长为了这工程而捐献; 省长捐给库房金子八公斤,碗五十个和祭司的礼服五百三十件;

于是祭司,利未人,守门的,歌唱者,一部分人民,作殿役的, 和以色列众人都住在自己的城里.

Nehemiah - Chapter 8

8:1 All of the people gathered as one to the public square before the Water Gate. They asked Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses that Yahweh had commanded Israel.
到了七月, 以色列人都住在自己的城里. (《马索拉抄本》以本句为 7:73下半节)那时众民如同一人, 在水门前的广场聚集, 请经学家以斯拉把耶和华借摩西命令以色列人遵守的律法书带来.

8:2 So Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly for each man and woman to hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.
七月初一日, 以斯拉祭司把律法书带到所有听了能明白的男女会众面前.

8:3 He read from it facing the public square before the Water Gate from dawn until noon that day, opposite the men, women, and those with understanding. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
在水门前面的广场, 从清早到中午, 向众男女和听了能明白的人宣读出来. 众民都侧耳倾听这律法书的话.

8:4 Then Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden podium that had been made for the occasion. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right. On his left was Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
经学家以斯拉站在为这事特制的木台上; 站在他右边的, 有玛他提雅,示玛,亚奈雅,乌利亚,希勒家和玛西雅; 站在他左边的, 有毗大雅,米沙利,玛基雅,哈顺,哈拔大拿,撒迦利亚和米书兰.

8:5 Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, because he was above all of the people. When he opened it all the people stood up.
以斯拉在众人眼前展开那书卷; 他高高地站在众民以上, 他把书卷展开, 众民就站起来.

8:6 Then Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God, and all of the people answered, “Amen! Amen!” while lifting their hands. Then they bowed down and worshiped Yahweh with their noses to the ground.
以斯拉称颂耶和华至大的神, 众民举手应声说: “阿们! 阿们! ”然后跪下, 脸伏在地, 敬拜耶和华.

8:7 And Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites were teaching the people from the law while the people were in their places.
然后利未人耶书亚,巴尼,示利比,雅悯,亚谷,沙比太,荷第雅,玛西雅,基利他,亚撒利雅,约撒拔,哈难和毗莱雅就教导他们明白律法. 众人一直站在原处聆听.

8:8 So they read the book from the law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that they could understand the reading.
他们宣读神的律法, 把意义清楚翻译出来, 使众民明白所宣读的.

8:9 Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all of the people, “This day is holy to Yahweh your God. Do not mourn nor weep.” For all of the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
省长尼希米和祭司兼经学家以斯拉, 以及教导人民明白律法的利未人对众民说: “今天是耶和华你们的神的圣日, 你们不要悲哀哭泣. ”因为众人听见律法书上的话, 都哭了.

8:10 Then he said to them, “Go, eat festive food and drink sweet drinks, and send a share to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our lord. Do not be grieved because the joy of Yahweh is your refuge.”
尼希米又对他们说: “你们应当去吃肥美的肉, 喝甘甜的酒, 把部分饮食分给没有能力预备的人, 因为今天是我们的主的圣日; 你们不要忧愁, 因为靠耶和华而得的喜乐是你们的力量. ”

8:11 So the Levites silenced all of the people, saying, “Silence, for this day is holy. Do not be grieved.”
于是利未人使众民安静下来, 说: “你们安静吧, 因为今天是圣日, 也不要再忧愁! ”

8:12 All of the people went to eat, to drink, to send a share, and to have great joy because they understood the words that they had made known to them.
众民就去吃喝, 也把部分饮食与人分享, 大大欢乐. 因为他们明白教训他们的话.

8:13 On the second day the heads of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites gathered together to Ezra the scribe to study the words of the law.
第二天, 众民的族长,祭司和利未人都聚集到经学家以斯拉那里, 研究律法的话.

8:14 They found written in the law, which Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the Israelites should live in booths during the festival of the seventh month,
他们发现律法上记载, 耶和华曾借着摩西吩咐以色列人, 要在七月的节期中, 住在棚里,

8:15 and that they should proclaim and give voice in all of their cities in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill and bring olive tree branches, olive oil wood branches, myrtle shrub branches, palm tree branches, and other leafy tree branches to make booths, as it is written.”
并且要在自己的城里和在耶路撒冷宣扬布告说: “你们要上到山上, 把橄榄树枝,油木树枝,番石榴枝,棕树枝和树叶繁茂大树的枝子带回来, 照着律法所写的搭棚. ”

8:16 So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each on his roof, in their courtyards, in the courtyards of the house of God, in the public square of the Water Gate, and in the public square of the Gate of Ephraim.
于是众民出去, 把树枝带回来, 各人在自己的房顶上, 在院子里, 神的院中, 水门的广场, 或是在以法莲门的广场搭棚.

8:17 And all of the assembly of those who returned from captivity made booths and lived in the booths because the Israelites had not done it from the days of Jeshua son of Nun until that day. And there was very great joy.
从被掳归回的全体会众都搭了棚, 并且住在棚里; 从嫩的儿子约书亚的时候, 直到那日, 以色列人都没有这样行过. 大家都非常快乐.

8:18 And he read from the scroll of the law of God day by day from the first day up to the last day. They celebrated the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day there was an assembly according to the rule.
从头一天直到最后一天, 每天都宣读神的律法书. 他们守节七天, 第八天照典章有严肃会.

Nehemiah - Chapter 9

9:1 On the twenty-fourth day of this month the Israelites gathered in fasting, in sackcloths, and with soil on them.
这月二十四日, 以色列人聚集, 一同禁食, 身穿麻衣, 头上蒙灰.

9:2 Those of the seed of Israel separated themselves from all of the foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors.
以色列的后裔跟所有外族人分离, 然后站立, 承认自己的罪过和他们列祖的罪孽.

9:3 They stood up in their place and read from the book of the law of Yahweh their God for a fourth part of the day, and for a fourth they were confessing and worshiping Yahweh their God.
那天四分之一的时间, 他们站在自己的地方, 宣读耶和华他们的神的律法书; 另外四分之一的时间, 他们认罪和敬拜耶和华他们的神.

9:4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani stood on the platform of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to Yahweh their God.
耶书亚,巴尼,甲篾,示巴尼,布尼,示利比,巴尼和基拿尼, 站立在利未人的台阶上, 向耶和华他们的神大声哀求.

利未人耶书亚,甲篾,巴尼,哈沙尼,示利比,荷第雅,示巴尼和毗他希雅说: “你们要起立, 称颂耶和华你们的神, 直到永永远远. ”“耶和华啊, 你荣耀的名是应当称颂的; 愿你的名被尊崇, 超过一切称颂和赞美.

9:6 “You alone are Yahweh. You alone have made the heavens, the heavens of the heavens, and all of their army, the earth and all that is in it, the waters and all that is in them. You give life to all of them, and the army of the heavens worship you.
你, 唯独你是耶和华, 你造了天, 天上的天和天军, 地和地上的万物, 海和海中的万物, 你使这一切生存, 天军也都敬拜你.

9:7 You are Yahweh, the God who chose Abram and brought him from Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.
你是耶和华神, 你拣选亚伯兰, 带领他出了迦勒底的吾珥, 改他的名字为亚伯拉罕.

9:8 You found his heart faithful before you and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite—to give it to his seed. And you have kept your word because you are righteous.
你见他在你面前心里诚实可靠, 就与他立约, 要把迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,耶布斯人和革迦撒人之地, 赐给他的后裔; 你履行了你的诺言, 因为你是公义的.

9:9 “You saw the misery of our ancestors in Egypt, and you heard their shout at the Red Sea.
你看见我们的列祖在埃及所受的困苦, 垂听他们在红海的哀求,

9:10 You gave signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all of his servants, and all of the people of his land because you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. You made a name for yourself, as it is this day.
因为你知道埃及人怎样狂妄自大地对待他们, 所以就对法老和他的一切臣仆, 以及他国中所有的人民, 施行神迹奇事, 为你自己建立了至今仍存的名声.

9:11 And you divided the sea before them, and they passed through the sea on dry ground, but their pursuers you threw into the depths like a stone into mighty waters.
你又在我们的列祖面前把海分开, 使他们在海中的干地上走过去; 把追赶他们的人丢在深处, 好像石头拋进怒海之中.

9:12 You led them by day with a column of cloud and with a column of fire by night, to give them light on the way that they were to go.
日间你用云柱引导他们, 夜间用火柱光照他们要行的路.

9:13 Then you came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven and gave them right judgments and true teachings, good regulations and commandments.
你降临西奈山上, 从天上与他们说话, 赐给他们正直的典章,真实的律法,美好的条例与诫命.

9:14 You made known your holy Sabbath to them and gave them commandments, regulations, and law by the hand of your servant Moses.
你使他们认识你的圣安息, 借你仆人摩西向他们颁布诫命,条例和律法.

9:15 You gave them bread from heaven for their starvation, and you caused water to go out from a rock for their thirst. You told them to go in order to take into possession the land that you have sworn by your hand to give to them.
你从天上赐下粮食, 给他们充饥, 吩咐水从磐石流出来给他们解渴; 你又吩咐他们进去占领, 你举手起誓要赐给他们的那地.

9:16 “But they and our ancestors acted arrogantly and stiffened their neck and did not listen to your commandments.
但是我们的列祖狂妄自大, 硬着颈项, 不听从你的命令.

9:17 They refused to listen and did not remember your wonders that you did among them. They stiffened their neck and in their rebellion determined to return to their slavery. But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abundant in loyal love, so you did not abandon them.
他们拒绝听从, 也不记念你在他们中间所行的奇事, 硬着颈项, 存心悖逆, 自立首领, 要回到他们为奴之地去. 但你是乐意饶恕的神, 你有恩典, 有怜悯, 不轻易发怒, 并有丰盛的慈爱, 所以你没有撇弃他们.

9:18 Even when they made for themselves a molten idol of a calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you out from Egypt,’ and committed great blasphemies.
他们更为自己铸造了一头牛犊, 说: ‘这就是把你们从埃及领上来的神! ’他们犯了亵渎大罪,

9:19 But you in your many mercies did not abandon them in the desert. The column of cloud that was over them in the day did not cease to leave them on the way, and the column of fire by night that gave light to them on the way that they went.
你还是因着你丰盛的怜悯, 没有把他们撇弃在旷野; 日间云柱没有离开他们, 仍然在路上引导他们; 夜间火柱也没有离开他们, 还是光照他们要行的路.

9:20 And you gave your good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst.
你赐下良善的灵教导他们; 你没有留住吗哪不给他们吃; 你给他们水解渴.

9:21 Forty years you sustained them in the desert—they were not in need. Their clothing did not wear out and their feet did not swell.
在旷野四十年, 你供养他们, 他们毫无缺乏, 衣服没有穿破, 他们的脚也没有肿痛.

9:22 And you gave them kingdoms and nations and allotted them a portion. They took into possession the land of Sihon king of Heshbon and the land of Og king of Bashan.
你把列国和万民赐给他们, 你把列国分给他们作疆界, 他们就获得西宏之地, 希实本王之地和巴珊王噩之地.

9:23 You made their children numerous like the stars of the heavens and brought them to the land that you told their ancestors to enter in order to take possession.
你使他们的子孙众多, 像天上的星星那么多; 你把他们带进你应许他们的列祖要进去得为业的那地.

9:24 So the children went in and took possession of the land. You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites; you gave them into their hand, and their kings and the nations of the land to do with them according to their pleasure.
于是他们的子孙进去, 获得那地; 你使那地的迦南居民向他们屈服, 又把迦南众王和那地的各民族, 都交在以色列人手里, 以色列人可以随意对待他们.

9:25 And they captured fortified cities and a fertile land and took possession of houses filled with every good thing: hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, and many fruit trees. They ate and became full, and they became fat and took delight in your great goodness.
他们夺取了坚固的城,肥沃的土地, 获得了满载各样财宝的房屋,挖好的水井,葡萄园,橄榄园和很多果树; 他们吃得饱足, 身体发胖, 因你的大恩生活安逸快乐.

9:26 “But they rebelled and were rebellious against you and cast your law behind their back and killed your prophets, who had warned them to turn back to you, and they did great blasphemies.
“可是他们竟悖逆, 背叛你, 把你的律法丢在背后, 杀害那些控告他们, 要他们归向你的先知, 犯了亵渎的大罪.

9:27 Therefore you gave them into the hand of their enemy, and they brought trouble to them. Then in the time of their trouble they cried out to you, and you heard from the heavens, and according to your great compassions, you gave them saviors, and you saved them from the hand of their enemies.
所以你把他们交在敌人的手中, 好让他们受困苦; 他们受困苦的时候, 就向你呼求, 你就从天上垂听, 按着你丰盛的怜悯, 赐给他们拯救者, 拯救他们脱离敌人的手.

9:28 But when they had rest they returned to doing evil before you, and you abandoned them in the hand of their enemies, and they ruled over them. Then they returned and cried out to you, and from the heavens you heard and many times rescued them according to your compassions.
但他们得享安宁以后, 又在你面前行恶, 你就撇弃他们在仇敌的手中, 让仇敌管辖他们; 然而他们回转过来, 向你哀求, 你就从天上垂听, 按着丰盛的怜悯, 一次又一次拯救他们.

9:29 You warned them so that they would return to your law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to your commandments but sinned against your judgments that a person must do so that they may live. They turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not listen.
你警告他们, 要他们转向你的律法; 但他们狂妄自大, 不听从你的诫命, 犯罪干犯你的典章. 人应遵行这些典章, 按照它们生活, 他们却固执地扭转肩头, 硬着颈项, 不肯听从.

9:30 You were patient toward them for many years, and you have warned them by your spirit through the hand of your prophets, but they did not listen. So you gave them into the hand of the nations of the lands.
你多年容忍他们, 你的灵借着你的众先知劝戒他们, 他们还是不侧耳而听, 所以你把他们交在各地的民族手中.

9:31 But in your great compassions you did not put an end to them, and you did not abandon them. For you are a gracious and compassionate God.
然而因你丰富的怜悯, 你不把他们灭尽, 也不撇弃他们, 因为你是有恩典有怜悯的神.

9:32 “And now our God, the great, mighty, and awesome God who keeps his covenant and loyal love, do not belittle in your presence all of the hardship that is found in us, our kings, our officials, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all of our people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.
“我们的神啊, 你是至大,全能,至可畏,守约施慈爱的神, 现在求你不要把我们,我们的君王和领袖,我们的祭司和先知,我们的列祖和你的众民, 从亚述列王的日子直到今日所遭遇的一切苦难, 看为小事.

9:33 You are righteous in everything that has come on us, for you dealt faithfully, and we have acted wickedly.
在一切临到我们身上的事上, 你都是公义的; 因为你所行的是信实的, 我们所行的是邪恶的.

9:34 Our kings, our officials, our priests, and our ancestors did not keep your law and did not listen to your commandments and statutes that you declared to them.
我们的君王和领袖, 我们的祭司和列祖, 都没有遵行你的律法, 也没有留心听从你的诫命和你向他们郑重的警告.

9:35 And in their kingdom and in the greatness you gave to them, and in the wide and fertile land that you gave before them, they did not serve you and did not turn from their evil deeds.
他们在本国中, 享受你赐给他们的大福, 在你摆在他们面前这广大肥沃的地上, 却不事奉你, 不转离他们的恶行.

9:36 Behold, we are slaves to this day, and the land that you have given to our ancestors to eat its fruits and enjoy its goodness—behold, we are slaves in it!
我们今天竟成了奴仆! 就是在你赐给我们列祖享用其上果实和美物之地, 我们竟在这地上作了奴仆!

9:37 Its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have given over us because of our sins, and they are ruling over our dead bodies and our livestock at their pleasure. We are in great trouble.
这地丰富的出产都归给列王, 就是你因我们的罪派来管辖我们的; 他们也随意管辖我们的身体和我们的牲畜; 我们遭遇大患难.

9:38 “Now because of all of this we make a binding written agreement and are writing on the sealed documents the names of our commanders, our Levites, and our priests.”
现在由于这一切事, 我们立下确实的约, 写在文件上; 我们的领袖,利未人和祭司, 都在上面盖了印. ”

Nehemiah - Chapter 13

13:1 On that day the book of Moses was read in the hearing of the people and it was found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the assembly of God
那时, 他们宣读摩西的书给众民听, 见书上写着说: 亚扪人和摩押人永远不可进入神的会,

13:2 because they did not come to meet the Israelites with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them in order to curse them—but our God changed the curse into a blessing.
因为他们没有拿食物和水来迎接以色列人, 反而雇用了巴兰来与他们作对, 咒诅他们; 但是我的神使咒诅变为祝福.

13:3 So it happened when they heard the law that they separated all of the foreign people from Israel.
众民听见了这律法, 就跟一切闲杂人分离.

13:4 Before this, Eliashib the priest who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God—the one related to Tobiah—
这事以前, 受委派管理我们神殿的库房的以利亚实祭司, 与多比雅的关系很密切.

13:5 prepared for Tobiah a large chamber where they had formerly put the grain offering, the frankincense, the temple objects, tithes of grain, wine, and oil commanded for the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the offerings of the priests.
他为多比雅预备了一间大房间, 那里以前是用来收存素祭,乳香和器皿, 还有祭司的举祭, 以及按照命令供给利未人,歌唱者和守门的那些五谷,新酒和新油的十分之一.

13:6 During all of this, I was not in Jerusalem because in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king. At the end of some days I asked permission from the king to leave.
这事发生的时候, 我不在耶路撒冷; 因为在巴比伦王亚达薛西三十二年, 我回到王那里去; 过了一段时期, 我又求得王的准许,

13:7 So I came to Jerusalem. And I came to learn of the wrong that Eliashib had done for Tobiah by making him a room in the courtyard of the house of God.
回到耶路撒冷, 那时我才知道以利亚实在神殿的院子里, 为多比雅预备一间房间那件恶事.

13:8 It was very displeasing for me, and I threw all of the objects from the house of Tobiah outside of the chamber.
我十分恼怒, 就把多比雅的一切家具, 都从房间里拋出去.

13:9 And I spoke in order, and they cleansed the chambers. Then I returned the objects of the house of God—the grain offering and the frankincense.
又吩咐人洁净那几间房间, 然后把神殿的器皿, 与素祭和乳香搬回那里.

13:10 And then I came to learn that the food of the Levites had not been given to them, so that the Levites and the singers, the doers of the work, had gone back each to his field.
我发觉利未人应得的分, 没有人供给他们, 甚至供职的利未人和歌唱者, 各人都跑回自己的田地去.

13:11 So I quarreled with the prefects, and I said, “Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them and set them at their station.
于是我责备众官长说: “为什么疏忽供应神的殿呢? ”我就再召集利未人, 使他们重站原来的岗位.

13:12 So all of Judah brought the tithe of grain, new wine, and olive oil into the storehouses.
犹大众人就把五谷,新酒和新油的十分之一, 奉到库房.

13:13 I appointed as treasurer over the storehouses Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, Pedaiah from the Levites, and as their hand Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for they were considered faithful. The responsibility given to them was to distribute to their brothers.
我委派示利米雅祭司,经学家撒督和利未人毗大雅作库官, 管理库房; 他们的助手是玛他尼的孙子,撒刻的儿子哈难; 这些人都是忠信可靠的; 他们的责任是把人奉献的各物分给他们的兄弟.

13:14 Remember me, my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my loyal acts which I have done in the house of my God and in his service.
“我的神啊, 求你因这事记念我, 不要涂抹我为我神的殿和一切敬拜的礼仪所行的忠诚的事. ”

13:15 In those days I saw in Judah people treading the wine press on the Sabbath, bringing in heaps of grain and loading them on donkeys along with wine, grapes and figs, and every kind of burden and bringing it all to Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath. And I warned them at that time against selling food.
那时, 我在犹大看见有人在安息日踹压酒池, 搬运禾捆, 驮在驴上, 又把酒,葡萄,无花果和各样的担子, 在安息日运到耶路撒冷; 我就在他们卖粮食的那天警戒他们.

13:16 Tyrian men who lived in Jerusalem brought fish and every kind of merchandise and sold it on the Sabbath to the descendants of Judah and in Jerusalem.
又有推罗人住在耶路撒冷城中, 他们把鱼和各样的货物运进来, 在安息日卖给犹大人, 而且在耶路撒冷贩卖.

13:17 So I quarreled with the nobles of Judah and said to them, “What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the day of the Sabbath?
于是我责备犹大的贵族, 对他们说: “你们怎么行这恶事, 亵渎安息日呢?

13:18 Did not your ancestors do this also, and our God brought on us all of this disaster and on this city too? Now you are adding fierce wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”
从前你们的列祖不是这样行, 以致我们的神使这一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗? 现在你们亵渎安息日, 使神的忿怒越发临到以色列. ”

13:19 So when it became dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors be shut and said that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. And I appointed some of my young men over the gates to prevent any goods being brought in on the day of the Sabbath.
所以在安息日的前一天, 黄昏的阴影临到耶路撒冷城门的时候, 我就吩咐人把城门关闭; 我又下令不许开门, 直到安息日过了, 我又派我的仆人在城门站岗, 免得有人在安息日挑担子进来.

13:20 So the merchants and the sellers of merchandise spent the night outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
于是商人和贩卖各样货物的, 一次两次在耶路撒冷城外过夜.

13:21 But I warned them and said to them, “Why are you spending the night opposite the wall? If you do it again, I will lay hands against you.” From that time on they did not come on the Sabbath.
我警告他们, 对他们说: “你们为什么要在城墙前面过夜呢? 如果你们再这样, 我就要动手对付你们. ”从那时起, 他们在安息日就不敢再来了.

13:22 And then I told two Levites that they must purify themselves and come to guard the gates in order to consecrate the day of the Sabbath. Remember this also, my God, and take pity on me according to the greatness of your loyal love.
我吩咐利未人洁净自己, 然后来看守城门, 使安息日分别为圣. ”我的神啊, 求你也因这事记念我, 照着你丰盛的慈爱怜恤我! ”

13:23 Also in those days I saw Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
那些日子, 我也发现有些犹大人娶了亚实突,亚扪和摩押的女子为妻.

13:24 Half of their children spoke Ashdodite and could not speak Judean, but only the tongues of other nations.
他们的儿女有一半说亚实突话, 其他就说他们民族的语言, 他们却不会说犹大话.

13:25 So I quarreled with them and cursed them and beat some of their men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath by God: “Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.
我就责备他们, 咒诅他们, 击打他们中间的几个人, 拔下他们的头发, 叫他们指着神起誓, 说: “你们决不可把自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子, 也决不可为儿子或为自己娶他们的女儿.

13:26 Did not King Solomon of Israel sin in this way? And among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Yet the foreign women made even him sin.
以色列王所罗门不是在这些事上犯了罪吗? 在许多国中并没有一个王能比得上他的; 他蒙他的神所爱, 神立他作全以色列的王, 可是连他也被外族的女子引诱犯罪.

13:27 Should we listen to you all and do this great evil, acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”
难道我们要听从你们, 行这大恶, 娶外族的女子为妻, 对我们神不忠吗? ”

13:28 One from the sons of Jehoiada, son of the high priest Eliashib, who was the son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonote was there. I chased him away from me.
大祭司以利亚实的孙子耶何耶大的一个儿子, 是和伦人参巴拉的女婿, 我就驱逐他离开我.

13:29 Remember them, my God, because of their defilements of the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.
“我的神啊, 求你记住他们, 因为他们玷污了祭司的职分, 也污辱了祭司职分和利未人的约. ”

13:30 So I cleansed them from everything foreign, and I established responsibilities for the priests and Levites, each in his own work,
这样, 我就洁净了他们, 使他们脱离一切外族人的污秽, 又重新指派祭司和利未人的职责, 各人有自己的工作.

13:31 a contribution of the wood offering at appointed times, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
我又指派人按时供应木柴和奉献初熟之物. ”我的神啊, 求你记念我, 施恩给我. ”

Esther (以斯帖记)

Esther - Chapter 1

1:1 And it happened in the days of Ahasuerus, the Ahasuerus who reigned from India to Cush—over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces.
亚哈随鲁在位的时候, 他统治从印度到古实共一百二十七省.

1:2 In those days as King Ahasuerus was sitting on the throne of his kingdom, which was in the citadel of Susa,
他在书珊城登了国位.

1:3 he gave a banquet in the third year of his reign for all his officials and servants. The army of Persia and Media and the nobles and officials of the provinces were in his presence
他执政第三年, 曾为众领袖和臣仆摆设筵席; 波斯和玛代的权贵, 以及各省的贵族和领袖都在他面前.

1:4 as he displayed the wealth of the glory of his kingdom and the glorious splendor of his greatness for many days, one hundred and eighty days.
他把自己尊荣之国的财富和伟大威风的荣华, 向他们展现很多日子, 共有一百八十天.

1:5 And when those days were completed, the king gave for all the people that were present at the citadel of Susa, both great and small, a banquet in the courtyard of the king’s palace garden that lasted seven days.
这些日子过了, 王又为所有在书珊城的人民, 无论尊卑大小, 在御园的院子里摆设筵席七天.

1:6 There were curtains of finely woven linen and blue cloth tied with cords of fine white linen and purple cloth to silver curtain rings and pillars of alabaster, and couches of gold and silver on a paved floor of alabaster, precious stone, mother-of-pearl, and costly stones.
御园中有白色绵织的帷幕,蓝色的幔子, 细麻绳,紫色绳悬在银环里和大理石柱上; 有金银的床榻摆在红色,白色,黄色和黑色的大理石所铺的地上.

1:7 Drinks were served in goblets of gold and goblets of different kinds, and there was plentiful royal wine according to the bounty of the king.
赐饮都用金器皿; 器皿与器皿各有不同; 御酒很多, 足显王的厚赐.

1:8 There were no restrictions on the drinking, for the king had instructed every official of his palace to do as each one pleased.
饮酒都照着定例, 不准勉强; 因为王对他宫里的所有臣仆立下规矩, 要照着各人的意愿而行.

1:9 Furthermore, Queen Vashti gave a banquet for the women in the palace that belonged to King Ahasuerus.
王后瓦实提也在亚哈随鲁王的王宫中, 为妇女们摆设筵席.

1:10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he said to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, seven of the eunuchs attending King Ahasuerus,
第七日, 亚哈随鲁王因饮酒心里高兴, 就吩咐侍候在他面前的七个太监: 米户幔,比斯他,哈波拿,比革他,亚拔他,西达,甲迦,

1:11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal crown to show the people and the officials her beauty, for she was very attractive.
去请王后瓦实提, 戴着后冕到王面前, 使众人和大臣欣赏她的美丽; 因为她的容貌很美.

1:12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king that was conveyed by the eunuchs. And the king became very angry, and his anger burned in him.
王后瓦实提却不肯遵照王借着太监所传的命令, 所以王非常生气, 怒火中烧.

1:13 And the king said to the wise men, the ones who know the times—for it was the procedure of the king before all those who knew law and rights;
王就咨询通达时务的哲士; 因为当时按照王的常规, 王要处理一事, 必先问问面前所有精通法令和审断的朝臣.

1:14 and those next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, the seven officials of Persia and Media who had access to the king and sat first in the kingdom—
那时在王身边的有甲示拿,示达,押玛他,他施斯,米力,玛西拿,米母干等七位波斯,玛代的大臣; 他们都是常见王面, 在国中居首位的.

1:15 “According to the law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti, because she has not done the command of King Ahasuerus conveyed by the eunuchs?
王问他们说: “王后瓦实提不遵行亚哈随鲁王借着太监所传的命令, 按照法令应怎样办理呢? ”

1:16 And Memucan said before the king and the officials, “Not only has Queen Vashti done wrong to the king, but to all the officials and all of the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.
米母干在王和众领袖面前回答: “王后瓦实提不但得罪了皇上, 而且还得罪了亚哈随鲁王各省的臣民.

1:17 For this deed of the queen will be known to all the women, causing them to look with contempt on their husbands, as they will say, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him but she did not come!’
因为王后这事必传到所有妇女的耳中, 会使她们眼中轻视自己的丈夫, 因为她们说: ‘亚哈随鲁王吩咐人带王后瓦实提到王面前, 她却没有来. ’

1:18 This day the women of nobility from Persia and Media will respond to all the officials of the king and there will be no end to contempt and anger.
现在波斯和玛代的公主贵妇听见王后这件事, 就必照样告诉王的大臣, 这样轻视和忿怒的事就常有了.

1:19 If it pleases the king, let a royal edict go out from him, and let it be written among the laws of Persia and Media so that it will not be altered, that Vashti cannot come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to her neighbor who is better than she.
王若是赞成, 可以下一道谕旨, 并且写在波斯和玛代的法令中, 永不废除. 不准瓦实提再到亚哈随鲁王面前来, 又请王把她王后的位分赐给另一位比她好的人.

1:20 And let the king’s decree that he will make be proclaimed in all his kingdom, because it is vast and all the women will honor their husbands, great and small.”
王颁布的谕旨传遍全国的时候, 所有的妇女都必敬重她们的丈夫, 不论丈夫尊卑贵贱. ”

1:21 This advice pleased the king and the officials, and the king acted according to the word of Memucan.
王和众领袖都赞成米母干的话; 王就照着他的话去行,

1:22 And he sent letters to all the provinces of the king, to each province according to its own script, and to every people in their own language, that every man should be the master of his house and who speaks in the language of his people.
把诏书送到王的各省, 每一省都用各省的文字, 每一族都用各族的方言, 使作丈夫的都在家中作主, 说话有权威.

Esther - Chapter 2

2:1 After these things, when the anger of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.
这些事以后, 亚哈随鲁王的怒气消减了, 就想念瓦实提和她所行的, 以及怎样降旨办她的事.

2:2 And the king’s servants attending him said, “Let them seek attractive young virgins for the king.
于是有些侍臣对王说: “要差人为王寻找一些美貌的少女.

2:3 Let the king appoint chief officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them gather every attractive young virgin to the harem in the citadel of Susa under the care of Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let him give them their beauty treatment.
王可以委派官员在国中各省, 把所有美貌的少女都召到书珊城的女院那里, 交在掌理女子的王家太监希该手下, 可以供给她们洁身用的香品.

2:4 And let the young woman who is pleasing in the king’s eyes become queen in place of Vashti. The thing was good in the king’s eyes, and he acted accordingly.
王喜悦的女子, 就可以作王后, 代替瓦实提. ”王喜悦这话, 就这样行了.

2:5 There was a Jew in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjaminite,
在书珊城里, 有一个犹大人, 名叫末底改, 是便雅悯人基士的曾孙,示每的孙子,睚珥的儿子.

2:6 who was deported from Jerusalem with the exiles who were deported with Jeconiah the king of Judah, whom King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had deported.
末底改在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒掳走犹大王耶哥尼雅和别的俘虏的时候, 也同时被掳走.

2:7 He was raising Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she did not have a father or a mother; the young woman had a beautiful figure and was very attractive. When her father and mother died, Mordecai had taken her as his daughter.
末底改抚养自己叔叔的女儿哈大沙(哈大沙就是以斯帖), 因为她没有父母. 这女子体态美丽, 容貌娟秀; 她父母死了, 末底改就收养她作自己的女儿.

2:8 And it happened, at the proclaiming of the edict of the king and his law, when many young women were being gathered to the citadel of Susa under Hegai’s care, Esther was taken to the king’s palace under the care of Hegai who was in charge of the women.
王的命令和谕旨传开了, 许多少女都被召到书珊城, 交在希该的手下; 以斯帖也被带到王宫里去, 交在管理女子的希该手下.

2:9 The young woman pleased him and she won favor in his presence, and he quickly provided for her beauty treatment and her portion of food, with seven chosen maids to give to her from the king’s palace, and he advanced her and her maids to the best part of the harem.
希该喜悦以斯帖, 就恩待她, 急忙供给她洁身用的香品和她应得的食物, 又给她七个美丽的侍女, 都是从王宫里选出来给她的, 再把她和她的侍女搬进女院上好的房子里.

2:10 Esther did not disclose her people and her family because Modecai had charged her that she must not tell.
以斯帖没有把自己的种族和身世告诉人, 因为末底改吩咐她不可告诉人.

2:11 And every day Modecai would walk up and down in front of the courtyard of the harem to learn how Esther was doing.
末底改天天都在女院的院子前面徘徊, 要知道以斯帖平安不平安, 她的情形怎样.

2:12 When the turn came for each girl to go to King Ahasuerus, after the end of twelve months of being under the regulations of the women—for the days of their beauty treatments had to be filled, six months with the oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and women’s cosmetics—
每个少女轮流进宫见亚哈随鲁王之前, 都要照着女子的规例洁净身体十二个月, 因为女子洁身的规例是这样: 六个月用没药油, 六个月用香品和妇女洁身用的其他物品.

2:13 in this way, the girl goes to the king and all that she asks is given to her to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace.
那时, 少女进去见王是这样的: 从女院到王宫的时候, 她所要的都要给她.

2:14 In the evening she would go and in the morning she would return to the second harem under the care of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch in charge of the concubines. She would not go back to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was called by name.
她晚上进去, 次日早晨回到第二女院去, 交给管理妃嫔的沙甲, 就是王的太监; 除非王喜悦她, 题名召她, 她就不再进去见王.

2:15 When the turn came near for Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as a daughter, to go to the king, she did not ask anything except what Hegai the eunuch of the king who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther carried favor in the eyes of everyone that saw her.
末底改的叔叔亚比孩的女儿以斯帖, 就是末底改收养作自己女儿的, 轮到她进去见王的时候, 除了王的太监, 掌理女子的希该所预备的以外, 以斯帖别无所求; 看见以斯帖的, 都喜爱她.

2:16 Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, to his palace, in the tenth month that is Tebeth in the seventh year of his reign.
亚哈随鲁王执政第七年十月, 就是提别月, 以斯帖被带进王宫去见亚哈随鲁王.

2:17 And the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won his favor and loyalty more than all the virgins, so he put a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
王爱以斯帖超过所有其他的女子; 在所有的处女中, 她在王的面前, 最得王的恩宠与喜爱; 王把王后的冠冕戴在她头上, 立她为王后, 代替瓦实提.

2:18 And the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and servants. And he granted a tax amnesty to the provinces and he gave gifts with royal liberality.
王为他的文武百官大摆筵席, 就是以斯帖的婚筵, 又向各省颁布休假一天, 并且照着王的厚意, 颁赐礼物.

2:19 When the virgins were gathered a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the gate of the king.
第二次召集处女的时候, 末底改坐在朝门那里.

2:20 Esther had not made known her family and her people, just as Mordecai had instructed her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her, just as when she was brought up by him.
以斯帖照着末底改吩咐她的, 没有把自己的身世和种族告诉人; 末底改所说的话, 以斯帖都遵行, 就像昔日养育她的时候一样.

2:21 In those days Mordecai was sitting at the gate of the king. Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs from the keepers of the threshold, became angry and they conspired to assassinate King Ahasuerus.
那时, 末底改坐在朝门那里, 王有两个守门的太监: 辟探和提列, 一时因为恼怒, 正想下手害亚哈随鲁王.

2:22 And the matter became known to Mordecai and he told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told it to the king in the name of Mordecai.
这阴谋给末底改知道了, 他就告诉王后以斯帖; 以斯帖就以末底改的名义对王说起这事.

2:23 And the matter was investigated and found to be so; and the two of them were hanged on the gallows, and it was written in the scroll of the events of the days before the presence of the king.
那阴谋查究起来, 就发现真相; 于是把二人悬挂在木架上. 这事在王面前曾写于史记.

Esther - Chapter 3

3:1 After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and he exalted him and set his position above all the officials who were with him.
这事以后, 亚哈随鲁王使亚甲族哈米大他的儿子晋升; 王提拔他, 使他的地位高过所有与他在一起的大臣.

3:2 And all of the king’s servants who were at the gate of the king were kneeling and bowing down to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him, but Mordecai did not kneel and bow down.
在朝门那里, 王的所有臣仆, 都向哈曼屈身下拜, 因为王曾经这样吩咐; 只有末底改不跪, 也不拜.

3:3 And the king’s servants who were at the gate of the king said to Mordecai, “Why are you transgressing the command of the king?”
于是在朝门的臣仆问末底改: “你为什么违背王的命令呢? ”

3:4 They spoke to him day after day, but he did not listen to them, and they informed Haman to see if Mordecai’s resolve would prevail; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
他们天天劝他, 他还是不听, 他们就告诉哈曼, 要看看末底改的话是不是坚持到底, 因为他已经告诉他们, 他自己是犹大人.

3:5 And Haman saw that Mordecai was not kneeling and bowing down to him, and he was filled with anger.
哈曼见末底改不向他屈身下拜, 就非常忿怒.

3:6 But he considered it beneath him to lay hands on Mordecai only, for they told him of Mordecai’s people, and Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were in the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
他以为只下手对付末底改一人还是小事, 因为有人把末底改的本族告诉了哈曼; 所以哈曼设法要把亚哈随鲁王全国所有的犹大人, 与末底改一起消灭.

3:7 In the first month, that is, the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasurus, he cast pur—that is, the lot—before the presence of Haman for the day and for the month, until the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar.
亚哈随鲁王十二年正月, 就是尼散月, 有人在哈曼面前弄卜“普珥”, 就是抽签, 逐日逐月地抽, 结果抽出了十二月, 就是亚达月.

3:8 And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and separated among the peoples in all of the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from every other people, and they do not observe the laws of the king; it is not appropriate for the king to tolerate them.
哈曼对亚哈随鲁王说: “有一个种族, 散居在王国各省各民族之中; 他们的法例与各族的法例不同, 他们也不遵守王的法规; 所以留下他们, 对王实在无益.

3:9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to those who do the job, to bring to the treasury of the king.”
王若是赞成, 请王降旨消灭他们; 我愿捐出三万四千公斤银子, 交在管理国务的人手中, 纳入王库. ”

3:10 So the king removed his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
于是王从自己的手中取下戒指, 交给犹大人的敌人, 亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼.

3:11 And the king said to Haman, “The money is given to you and to the people to do with it as you see fit.
王对哈曼说: “这银子仍赐给你, 这民也交给你, 你看怎样好, 就怎样待他们吧. ”

3:12 And the king’s secretaries were called in the first month on the thirteenth day, and a decree was issued, according to all that Haman commanded, to the satraps of the king and to the governors who were over all the provinces, and to the officials of all the people, to each province according to its own script and to all people according to their own language; it was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and was sealed with the king’s ring.
正月十三日, 王的书记都召了来, 照着哈曼的一切吩咐, 用各省的文字, 各族的方言, 奉亚哈随鲁王的名下旨, 又用王的戒指盖上印, 颁给总督,各省的省长和各族的领袖.

3:13 Letters were sent by couriers to all the provinces of the king to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, on one day, the thirteenth day of the month, that is Adar, and to plunder their goods.
王旨交给众驿使传到王的各省, 吩咐要在一日之内, 在十二月, 就是亚达月十三日, 把所有的犹大人, 无论老少妇孺, 都全部毁灭,杀绝,除尽, 并且抢夺他们的财产.

3:14 A copy of the edict was presented as law in every province making it known to all the people to be ready for that day.
谕文抄本颁行各省, 通告各族, 使他们准备好这一天.

3:15 The couriers went out quickly by order of the king, and the law was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; and the city of Susa was bewildered.
驿使奉王命急忙出发, 御旨从书珊城颁布出去. 那时王与哈曼又同坐共饮, 书珊城的居民却非常慌乱.

Esther - Chapter 4

4:1 Mordecai learned all that had been done and he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes. And he went through the middle of the city and cried out a loud and bitter cry;
末底改知道了发生的一切事, 就撕裂自己的衣服, 披上麻衣, 撒上灰尘, 出到城中, 大声痛哭地呼叫.

4:2 he went up to the entrance of the gate of the king, for he could not go to the gate of the king in sackcloth.
他到了御门前, 就停住, 因为身穿麻衣的, 不可以进御门.

4:3 In every province each place where the king’s edict and his law came, there was great mourning for the Jews with fasting, crying, wailing, and sackcloth; and ashes were spread out as a bed for them.
王的谕旨和命令传到的各省各地, 犹大人都大大悲哀, 禁食,哭泣,悲伤; 许多人披上麻衣, 躺在灰尘中.

4:4 And Esther’s maids and her eunuchs came and they told her, and the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mordecai so that he might remove his sackcloth—but he did not accept them.
以斯帖的婢女和太监把这事告诉以斯帖, 王后就非常惊慌, 就派人送衣服给末底改穿着, 要他脱下麻衣, 他却不接受.

4:5 Then Esther called Hathach from the king’s eunuchs who regularly attended to her, and she ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what was happening and why.
以斯帖就把王派来侍候她的一个太监哈他革召了来, 吩咐他到末底改那里去, 探听这是什么一回事, 又是为了什么缘故.

4:6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to the public square of the city, which was in front of the gate of the king,
于是哈他革出到御门前的广场去见末底改.

4:7 and Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of money that Haman has promised to pay to the treasury of the king for the destruction of the Jews.
末底改把他遭遇的一切事, 以及哈曼为灭尽犹大人答应捐银给王库的数目, 都告诉了他.

4:8 And he gave him a copy of the edict of the law that had been issued in Susa for their destruction to show Esther, and to inform her, and to charge her to go to the king and make supplication to him and entreat before him for her people.
末底改又把在书珊城颁布要毁灭犹大人的谕旨抄本, 交给了哈他革, 要他给以斯帖看, 并且要给她说明, 吩咐她进宫见王, 向王求情, 为自己的族人在王面前恳求.

4:9 And Hathach went back and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
哈他革回来, 把末底改的话都告诉了以斯帖.

4:10 And Esther spoke to Hathach and she gave him a message for Mordecai:
以斯帖把以下的话告诉哈他革, 又吩咐他回复末底改说:

4:11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that if any man or woman who goes to the king to the inner courtyard, who is not called, he has one law, to be killed, except if the king extends to him the gold scepter so that he may live. I have not been called to come to the king for thirty days.”
“王所有的臣仆和各省的人民, 都知道有一条法令: 无论男女, 没有奉召就擅入内院去见王的, 除非王向他伸出金杖, 赐他免死, 一律要处以死刑. 现在我没有奉召进去见王已经三十天了. ”

4:12 And they told Mordecai the words of Esther.
哈他革把以斯帖的话都告诉末底改.

4:13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther: “Do not think that your life will be saved in the palace of the king more than all the Jews.
末底改叫人回复以斯帖说: “你不要心里想, 你在王宫里比所有的犹大人都安全.

4:14 For if indeed you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and the family of your father will perish. Who knows? Perhaps you have come to a royal position for a time such as this.”
这时你若是缄默不言, 犹大人必会从别的地方得着解救, 那时你和你的父家就必灭亡. 谁知你得了王后的位分, 不是为了挽救现今的危机吗? ”

4:15 Esther replied to Mordecai:
以斯帖吩咐人回复末底改说:

4:16 “Go, gather all the Jews that are found in Susa and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, both night and day. I and my young girls will fast likewise, and then I will go to the king, which is not according to the law; if I perish, I perish.
“你要去, 把书珊城所有的犹大人都召集起来, 为我禁食三天, 就是三日三夜不吃不喝; 我和我的婢女也要这样禁食. 然后我就违例进去见王; 我若是死, 就死吧. ”

4:17 And Mordecai went away and he did everything that Esther commanded him.
于是末底改离开了, 照着以斯帖吩咐的一切去行.

Esther - Chapter 5

5:1 And it happened, on the third day, and Esther put on royal clothes, and she stood in the inner courtyard of the king’s palace, opposite the king’s palace; the king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room opposite the doorway of the palace.
第三天, 以斯帖穿上朝服, 站在王宫的内院, 对着王殿; 王在殿里坐在王位上, 对着殿门.

5:2 When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the courtyard she found favor in his eyes, and the king held out the gold scepter that was in his hand to Esther, and Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.
王见王后以斯帖站在院内, 就对她施恩, 向她伸出手中的金杖, 以斯帖就上前摸杖头.

5:3 And the king said to her, “What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? It will be given to you—even half the kingdom.”
王问她: “王后以斯帖啊, 你有什么事吗? 你求什么? 就是一半江山, 也必赐给你. ”

5:4 And Esther said, “If it is good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
以斯帖回答: “王若是欢喜, 就请王今天带着哈曼来赴我为王预备的筵席. ”

5:5 And the king said, “Bring Haman quickly to fulfill the request of Esther.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
王说: “快把哈曼召来, 好照着以斯帖的话去行. ”于是王带着哈曼去赴以斯帖预备的筵席.

5:6 And the king said to Esther while they were drinking wine, “What is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even half the kingdom, it will done.
在酒席中, 王问以斯帖: “你要什么? 我必赐给你; 你求什么? 就是一半江山, 也必为你成全. ”

5:7 And Esther answered and said, “This is my petition and my request.
以斯帖回答说: “我所要我所求的就是:

5:8 If I have found favor in the eyes of the king, and if it is good to the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them tomorrow, and I will do according to the word of the king.
我若是在王眼前蒙恩, 王若是愿意赐给我所要的, 成全我所求的, 就请王带着哈曼明天再来赴我为你们预备的筵席; 明天我必照着王的命令行. ”

5:9 And Haman went out on that day rejoicing and feeling good. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the gate of the king, and he did not rise or tremble before him, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.
那天哈曼心里快乐, 高高兴兴地出来; 但是哈曼见了末底改在御门那里不站起来, 也不因哈曼的缘故而退避, 哈曼心里就对末底改充满忿怒.

5:10 But Haman controlled himself and went to his house, and he sent for and brought his friends and Zeresh his wife.
哈曼忍住怒气, 回家去了, 就派人去请他的朋友和妻子细利斯来.

5:11 And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his wealth and the number of his sons and all the ways that the king had honored him and promoted him above the officials and king’s servants.
哈曼把他的富贵荣华,儿女的众多, 以及王怎样使他尊大, 怎样抬举他在王的众领袖和众臣仆之上的一切事, 都数说给他们听.

5:12 And Haman added, “Esther the Queen did not let just anyone come to the banquet that she prepared with the king except me, and I am also invited tomorrow to her banquet with the king.
哈曼又说: “王后以斯帖除我以外, 没有邀请别人与王一同去赴她预备的筵席; 明天又邀请我与王一同到她那里去赴席.

5:13 But all this fails to satisfy me when I see Mordecai the Jew setting at the gate of the king.”
只是每逢我看见坐在朝门那里的犹大人末底改的时候, 这一切对我都没有多大的意思. ”

5:14 And Zeresh his wife and all of his friends said to him, “Let them make a gallows fifty cubits high, and in the morning tell the king, “Let them hang Mordecai on it; then go with the king to the banquet happily.” The advice pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
他的妻子细利斯和他所有的朋友都对他说: “叫人立一个二十二公尺高的木架, 明早求王, 把末底改挂在上面, 然后你可以欢欢喜喜地与王一同赴筵席了. ”这话使哈曼很满意, 就叫人做了木架.

Esther - Chapter 6

6:1 During that night the king’s sleep escaped him, and he gave orders to bring the scroll of records and chronicles, and they were read before the king.
那一夜, 王睡不着觉, 就吩咐人把史记, 就是年鉴拿来, 在王面前诵读.

6:2 And it was found written how Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs from the keepers of the threshold who had conspired to assassinate King Ahasuerus.
有一处记着说: 王有两个守门的太监: 辟探和提列, 企图要谋害亚哈随鲁王; 这事给末底改告发了.

6:3 And the king asked, “What has been done to bestow honor to Mordecai for this?” And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
王问: “为了这事, 末底改得了什么尊荣和封赐没有? ”侍候王的众臣仆回答: “他什么也没有得到. ”

6:4 And the king asked, “Who is in the courtyard?” Haman had just come to the courtyard of the king’s outer palace to tell the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
王问: “谁在院子里? ”那时哈曼正进了王宫的外院, 要求王把末底改挂在哈曼为他预备的木架上.

6:5 And the king’s servants said to him, “Look! Haman is standing in the courtyard.” And the king said, “Let him come.”
王的臣仆对他说: “是哈曼站在院子里. ”王说: “叫他进来. ”

6:6 And Haman came, and the king said to him, “What is to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” And Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king wish to honor more than me?”
哈曼就进去, 王问他: “王喜欢赐尊荣给他的人, 要怎样待他呢? ”哈曼心里想: “王喜欢赐尊荣的人, 除我以外, 还有谁呢? ”

6:7 So Haman said to the king, “For a man whom the king wishes to honor,
于是哈曼回答王: “王喜欢赐尊荣的人,

6:8 let them bring royal clothing with which the king has clothed himself, and a horse that the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal head-dress has been given.
要把王常穿的朝服和王常骑的骏马, 就是头戴王冠的骏马带来,

6:9 And let the clothing and the horse be given to the man by the officials of the king’s nobles; let them cloth the man whom the king wishes to honor, and let him ride on his horse through the public square of the city, and let them proclaim before him, ‘Thus, it will be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor.’ ”
把朝服和骏马交给王最尊贵的一个大臣手里, 把衣服给王喜欢赐尊荣的人穿上, 使他骑在马上, 走过城中的街上, 又要有人在他前面宣告: ‘王喜欢赐尊荣的人, 要这样待他. ’”

6:10 Then the king said to Haman, “Quickly, take the clothing and the horse, just as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew who sits at the gate of the king; you must not leave out anything from what you have said.”
王对哈曼说: “赶快拿朝服和骏马来, 照着你所说的, 去行在那坐在朝门那里的犹大人末底改身上; 你所说的, 一样也不可缺少. ”

6:11 So Haman took the clothing and the horse, and he clothed Mordecai and let him ride through the public square of the city; and he proclaimed before him, “Thus, it is done to the man whom the king wishes to honor.”
于是哈曼把朝服和骏马拿来, 先给末底改穿上朝服, 然后使他骑在马上, 走过城中的街上, 又在他前面宣告: “王喜欢赐尊荣的人, 要这样待他. ”

6:12 Then Mordecai returned to the gate of the king, and Haman rushed to his house mournful and with his head covered.
末底改仍回到御门那里; 哈曼却急急忙忙回了家, 带着悲哀的心蒙着头.

6:13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends all that had happened to him. And his advisers and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the descendants of the Jews, you will not prevail against him, but will certainly fall before him.”
哈曼把遭遇的一切事, 都述说给他的妻子细利斯和他所有的朋友听; 他的谋士和妻子细利斯对他说: “在末底改面前, 你开始失败了; 他若是犹大人, 你就不能胜过他: 你终必在他面前失败. ”

6:14 As they were still speaking with him the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
他们还与哈曼说话的时候, 王的太监来了, 催哈曼快走, 赴以斯帖预备的筵席.

Esther - Chapter 7

7:1 So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther.
王带着哈曼去赴王后以斯帖的筵席.

7:2 And the king again said to Esther, on the second day while they were drinking, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It will be given to you. What is your request? It will be given to you—even half the kingdom.”
在这第二次的酒席中, 王又问以斯帖: “以斯帖啊, 你要什么? 我必赐给你; 你求什么? 就是一半江山, 也必给你成全. ”

7:3 Then Queen Esther answered, and she said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if it is good to the king, let my life be given to me at my petition and my people at my request;
王后以斯帖回答, 说: “我若是在你眼前蒙恩, 王若是喜欢, 我所要的, 是要王把我的性命赐给我; 我所求的, 是求王把我的族人赐给我.

7:4 I and my people have been sold to be destroyed and killed, to be annihilated. If we had been sold as male and female slaves I would have kept quiet, because this is not a need sufficient to trouble the king.”
因为我和我的族人被人出卖, 快要毁灭, 被杀尽,灭绝了. 我们若是只被卖为奴婢, 我也必闭口不言, 但王的损失是敌人不能补偿的. ”

7:5 And King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who gave himself the right to do this?”
亚哈随鲁王问王后以斯帖, 说: “存心这样行的人是谁? 他在哪里? ”

7:6 And Esther said, “The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman!” And Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
以斯帖回答: “这敌人和仇人, 就是这恶人哈曼! ”哈曼在王和王后面前立刻惊惶万分.

7:7 The king rose in his anger from the banquet and went to the palace garden, and Haman stood to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he realized that the king was determined to make an end to his life.
于是王带着盛怒, 从酒席间起来, 到御园里去; 哈曼却留下来求王后以斯帖救他一命, 因为哈曼看出王已经决意要加罪与他.

7:8 And the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, where Haman was lying prostrate on the couch that Esther was on, and the king said, “Will he also molest the queen with me in the house?” As the words went from the king’s mouth they covered Haman’s face.
王从御园回到酒席那里; 那时哈曼正伏在以斯帖所靠的榻上; 于是王说: “他竟敢在宫里, 当着我的面污辱王后吗? ”这话一出王口, 人就把哈曼的脸蒙住了.

7:9 And Habrona, one of the eunuchs in the presence of the king, said, “Look, the same gallows that Haman had prepared for Mordecai who spoke good for the sake of the king stands at Haman’s house, fifty cubits high.” And the king said, “Hang him on it.”
在王面前有一个太监哈波拿说: “还有, 哈曼为那曾经说好话救王有功的末底改, 立了一个二十二公尺高的木架, 现在正立在哈曼的家里呢. ”王说: “把哈曼挂在上面吧! ”

7:10 And they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the anger of the king was abated.
于是他们把哈曼挂在他为末底改预备的木架上; 王的忿怒才渐渐止息.

Esther - Chapter 8

8:1 On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews; and Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told what he was to her.
当日, 亚哈随鲁把犹大人的敌人哈曼的家产, 赐给王后以斯帖; 末底改也来到王的面前, 因为以斯帖已经把末底改和她的关系告诉王.

8:2 And the king removed his signet ring that he had taken away from Haman, and he gave it to Mordecai. So Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
王就摘下自己的戒指, 就是从哈曼那里取回的, 给了末底改, 以斯帖也委派末底改管理哈曼的家产.

8:3 And Esther again spoke before the king, and she fell before his feet and wept, pleading for his grace to avert Haman the Agagite’s evil plan and the plot that he devised against the Jews.
以斯帖又在王面前说话, 俯伏在王的脚前, 含泪恳求王免除亚甲族人哈曼所加的灾害, 以及他设计要害犹大人的阴谋.

8:4 And the king held out to Esther the scepter of gold, and Esther rose and stood before the king,
王向以斯帖伸出了金杖, 以斯帖就起来, 站在王的面前;

8:5 and she said, “If it is good to the king, and if I have found favor before him, and if the king is pleased with this matter, and I have his approval, let an edict be written to revoke the letters of the plans of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the provinces of the king.
她说: “王若是同意, 我若是在王面前蒙恩, 就请下旨, 废除亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设计的谕文, 就是他写下要消灭在王各省的犹大人的谕文.

8:6 For how can I bear to look on the disaster that will find my people, and how can I bear to look on the destruction of my family?”
我怎忍看见我的族人消灭呢? ”

8:7 And King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Look, I have given Haman’s house to Esther, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he plotted against the Jews.
亚哈随鲁王对王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改说: “因为哈曼要下手害犹大人, 我已经把哈曼的家产赐给了以斯帖, 人也把哈曼挂在木架了.

8:8 Write as you see fit concerning the Jews in the name of the king, and seal it with the king’s signet ring; for a decree that is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”
现在你们可以照着你们的意思, 奉王的名为犹大人写谕旨, 用王的印戒盖上; 因为奉王的名所写, 用王的戒指盖上印的谕旨, 是没有人可以废除的. ”

8:9 And the secretaries of the king were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is in the month of Sivan on the twenty-third day, and an edict was written according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews and to the governors and satraps and officials of the provinces from India to Cush—one hundred and twenty-seven provinces—each province according to its own script and to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
那时是三月, 就是西弯月, 二十三日, 王的文士都召了来, 照着末底改所吩咐一切有关犹大人的事, 用各省的文字,各族的方言写了谕旨, 从印度到古实的一百二十七省, 给各省的总督,省长和领袖, 也用犹大人的文字和方言写给犹大人.

8:10 And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and he sealed the letters with the king’s signet ring and sent them by couriers on horses, riding on royal horses bred by racing mares.
末底改奉亚哈随鲁王的名写了谕旨, 又用王的戒指盖上印; 文书由驿使骑上御养的,为国事而用的快马, 传送到各处去.

8:11 In them the king allowed the Jews who were in every city to assemble and defend their lives, to destroy and kill and annihilate any army of any people or province attacking them, including women and children, and to plunder their spoil,
文书上写着: 王准许在各城的犹大人, 可以聚集起来, 保护自己的性命; 也可以毁灭,杀尽和灭绝那些敌对犹大人的各族和各省的势力, 包括妇孺, 并且可以掠夺他们的财产;

8:12 in one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.
一日之间, 在十二月, 就是亚达月, 十三日, 在亚哈随鲁王的各省, 开始实行.

8:13 A copy of the edict was to be given as law in each province to inform all the people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves from their enemies.
谕旨的抄本作为御令, 颁发到各省, 宣告各族, 使犹大人准备那日, 好在仇敌身上施行报复.

8:14 The mounted couriers on the royal horses went out without delay, urged by the king’s word. The law was given in the citadel of Susa.
于是, 骑上为国事而用的快马的驿使, 迫于王命, 就急急忙忙出发, 谕旨传遍书珊城.

8:15 Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue cloth and white linen, and a great crown of gold and a robe of fine white linen and purple, and the city of Susa was shouting and rejoicing.
末底改穿着紫蓝色和白色的朝服, 戴着硕大的金冠冕, 又披上紫色细麻布的外袍, 从王面前出来; 书珊城的人都欢呼快乐.

8:16 For the Jews, there was light and gladness, joy and honor.
犹大人得到了光彩,欢喜,快乐和尊荣.

8:17 In every province and city, wherever the king’s edict and his law came, there was gladness and joy for the Jews, a banquet and a holiday, and many of the people from the country were posing as Jews because the fear of the Jews had fallen on them.
在各省各城中, 王的命令和谕旨所到之处, 犹大人都欢喜快乐, 饮宴放假; 那地的人民, 有许多因为惧怕犹大人, 就都自认是犹大人.

Esther - Chapter 9

9:1 In the twelfth month, that is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, on which the edict of the king arrived and his law was enacted, on the day in which the enemies of the Jews had hoped to gain power over them but was overturned, and the Jews gained power against their enemies,
十二月, 就是亚达月, 十三日, 王的命令和谕旨快要执行的时候, 就是犹大人的仇敌盼望辖制犹大人的日子, 反成了犹大人辖制恨他们的人的日子.

9:2 the Jews gathered in their cities in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to strike against those who sought their destruction, and no one could withstand them, as the fear of them fell on all the people.
犹大人在亚哈随鲁王各省的城里聚集起来, 要下手攻击那些想谋害他们的人; 没有人能抵挡他们, 因为各族的人都惧怕他们.

9:3 All the officials of the provinces, the satraps, governors, and those who did the work of the king were supporting the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
各省的官长,总督,省长和办理王事务的人, 因为惧怕末底改, 就都支持犹大人.

9:4 For Mordecai was high-ranking in the king’s palace and his fame spread throughout all the provinces as Mordecai grew more and more powerful.
末底改在朝中的确非常尊大, 他的声誉传遍各省; 末底改这人的权力越来越大.

9:5 The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them; and they did as they pleased with those that hated them.
这样, 犹大人击杀他们所有的仇敌, 他们用刀尽量击杀, 随意对待他们的仇人.

9:6 And in the citadel of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,
在书珊城里, 犹大人就杀灭了五百人.

9:7 and Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
他们又杀了巴珊大他,达分,亚斯帕他,

9:8 Portha, Adalia, Aridatha,
破拉他,亚大利雅,亚利大他,

9:9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
帕玛斯他,亚利赛,亚利代和瓦耶撒他,

9:10 the ten sons of Haman, the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews; but they did not touch the plunder.
这十个人就是哈米大他的孙子,哈曼的儿子, 犹大人的敌人; 至于财物, 犹大人却没有下手掠夺.

9:11 On that day the number of those being killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king.
当日在书珊城被杀的人的数目, 呈到王面前.

9:12 And the king said to Queen Esther, “In the citadel of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? What is your petition? It will be granted to you. And what further is your request? It will be done.”
王问王后以斯帖: “犹大人在书珊城杀灭了五百人, 又杀了哈曼的十个儿子; 在王其他省内, 他们怎样行呢! 现在你要什么, 我必赐给你, 你还求什么, 也必给你成全. ”

9:13 Esther replied, “If it is good to the king, let tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do according to the edict of today; and let them hang Haman’s ten sons on the gallows.”
以斯帖回答: “王若是同意, 求你恩准书珊的犹大人, 明日也照着今日的谕旨行事, 把哈曼的十个儿子挂在木架上. ”

9:14 And the king said to do so. And a decree was issued in Susa and Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
王就下令这样行; 谕旨传遍书珊, 人就把哈曼的十个儿子挂在木架上.

9:15 And the Jews were gathered who were in Susa, and on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and they killed in Susa three hundred men, but they did not touch the plunder.
亚达月十四日, 在书珊的犹大人又聚集起来, 在书珊杀了三百人, 却没有下手掠夺他们的财物.

9:16 The rest of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered and defended their lives and found repose from their enemies. And they killed seventy-five thousand of those that hated them, but they did not touch the plunder.
在王各省其余的犹大人, 也都聚集起来, 保护自己的性命, 向他们的仇敌报复, 杀了恨他们的人共七万五千; 至于财物, 他们却没有下手掠夺.

9:17 This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. They rested on the fourteenth day and made it a day of feasting and joy.
这是在亚达月十三日的事, 十四日他们得享安宁, 以这日为设宴欢乐的日子.

9:18 But the Jews who were in Susa gathered on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day, and rested on the fifteenth day. And they made it a day of feasting and joy.
但在书珊的犹大人在十三,十四日聚集起来杀敌, 他们就在十五日休息, 以这日为设宴欢乐的日子.

9:19 Therefore the Jews in the rural areas, living in the rural towns, made the fourteenth month of Adar a day of joy and feasting, a festive day of giving gifts to each other.
因此乡村的犹大人, 就是住在没有城墙的村镇的, 都以亚达月十四日为欢乐饮宴的吉日, 互送礼物.

9:20 Mordecai wrote down these things and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all of the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
末底改把这些事记录下来, 并且送文书给亚哈随鲁各省远近所有的犹大人,

9:21 to impose on them to keep the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day, every year,
嘱咐他们每年都要守亚达月十四,十五两日.

9:22 as the day that the Jews found relief from their enemies, and the month which changed for them from sorrow to joy, and from a mourning ceremony to a festive day; to make them days of feasting and joy, and giving gifts to each other and to the poor.
以这月的两日, 为犹大人脱离仇敌, 得享安宁的日子, 是转忧为喜, 转哀为乐的吉日, 叫他们在这两日饮宴欢乐, 大家互赠礼物, 也赒济穷人.

9:23 And the Jews adopted what they had begun to do and what Mordecai had written to them.
于是, 犹大人承诺要守他们起初所守的, 也承诺要遵守末底改写给他们的.

9:24 For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he had cast pur, that is the lot, to rout them out and destroy them.
原本犹大人的敌人, 亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼曾经设谋陷害犹大人, 要消灭他们; 他弄卜“普珥”, 就是抽签, 为要打击和消灭犹大人.

9:25 But when it came to the attention of the king, he gave orders in writing that his evil plot that he had devised against the Jews should return on his head, and they hung him and his sons on the gallows.
但这事呈到王面前以后, 王使用文书降旨吩咐, 使哈曼计谋的恶事, 就是他设谋陷害犹大人的事归到他自己的头上, 又使人把他和他的众子挂在木架上.

9:26 Therefore they called these days Purim, because of the name Pur. Thus because of all the words of this letter, and of what they faced concerning this, and of what had happened to them,
因此, 犹大人照着“普珥”的名字, 称这两日为普珥节; 所以他们因这信上的话, 又因他们所看见和所遭遇的事,

9:27 the Jews established and adopted it for themselves and for their offspring, and for all who joined them. They did not neglect to observe these two days every year as it was written and appointed to them.
犹大人就立了定例, 承诺他们自己和他们的后裔, 以及所有与他们联合的人, 每年都要按着所写的和指定的两日守这节日, 永不可废止.

9:28 These days are to be remembered and are to be kept in every generation, and in family, province, and city; and these days of Purim are not to be neglected among the Jews, and their memory shall not come to an end among their offspring.
使人在各省各城, 家家户户, 世世代代, 都记念,遵守这两日, 使这普珥节的日子在犹大人中, 永不废止.

9:29 So Queen Esther the daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote in full authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
亚比孩的女儿王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改以全权写了这第二封信, 嘱咐犹大人守这普珥节.

9:30 He sent letters of words of peace and truth to all the Jews, to the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of Ahasuerus’ kingdom,
他用和平和诚实的话, 把文书送给亚哈随鲁国中一百二十七省所有的犹大人,

9:31 to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had imposed, and just as they had imposed on themselves and their offspring regulations of the fast and their lament.
劝他们按着规定的时期, 照着犹大人末底改和王后以斯帖所嘱咐的, 也照着他们在禁食和哀求的时候为自己与后裔所承诺的, 守这普珥节.

9:32 And the command of Esther established these practices of Purim, and it was written on the scroll.
以斯帖的命令确定了普珥节; 这命令也记录在史记上.

Esther - Chapter 10

10:1 King Ahasuerus imposed forced labor on the land and islands of the sea.
亚哈随鲁王使陆地和众海岛的居民都向他进贡.

10:2 All the work of his authority and his powerful deeds, and the full accounting of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written on the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
他所行有权能的事迹, 以及末底改被尊为大的详细经过, 不是都写在玛代和波斯王的史记上吗?

10:3 For Mordecai the Jew was second-in-command to King Ahasuerus. He was great for the Jews and popular with many of his brothers, for he sought good for his people, interceding for the welfare of all his descendants.
犹大人末底改的地位仅次于亚哈随鲁王, 在犹大人中被尊为大, 得民众同胞的爱戴; 他为自己的族人求福祉, 向他们说平安的话.

Job (约伯记)

Job - Chapter 1

1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.
乌斯地有一个人, 名叫约伯. 这人完全,正直, 敬畏神, 远离罪恶.

1:2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
他生了七男三女.

1:3 Then his livestock came to be seven thousand sheep and goats and three thousand camels and five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred female donkeys, and he had very many slaves, and that man was greater than all the people of the east.
他的家产有七千只羊,三千匹骆驼,五百对牛,五百头母驴, 并且有许多仆婢. 这人在全东方的人中至为尊贵.

1:4 And his sons used to go and hold a feast at each other’s house on his day, and they would send, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
他的儿子素常轮流各按自己的日子在家摆设筵席, 并且邀请他们的三个姊妹来一同吃喝.

1:5 Then when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send, and he would sanctify them. Thus he would arise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of all of them, because Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their heart.” This is what Job used to do all the time.
轮流设宴的日子一过, 约伯就差人去叫他们自洁. 他清早起来, 按他们的数目献上燔祭. 因为他心里想: “说不定孩子犯了罪, 心中亵渎了神. ”约伯经常这样作.

1:6 And it happened one day that the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came into their midst.
有一天, 神的众子都来侍立在耶和华面前, 撒但也来到他们中间.

1:7 So Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”
耶和华问撒但: “你从哪里来? ”撒但回答耶和华说: “我在地上徘徊, 走来走去. ”

1:8 So Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? Indeed, there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.”
耶和华问撒但: “你有没有注意到我的仆人约伯? 世上再也没有一个人像他那样完全,正直, 敬畏神, 远离罪恶. ”

1:9 Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
撒但回答耶和华说: “约伯敬畏神, 难道是无缘无故的吗?

1:10 Have you not put a fence around him and his household and around all that belongs to him on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock has increased in the land.
你不是在他四周围上篱笆保护他吗? 他的家和他所有的一切, 以及他手所作的, 你都赐福, 他的家产也在地上增添.

1:11 But, on the other hand, stretch out your hand and touch all that belongs to him and see whether he will curse you to your face.”
只要你伸手打击他所有的一切, 他一定当面亵渎你. ”

1:12 So Yahweh said to Satan, “Look, all that belongs to him is in your power. Only do not stretch out your hand against him.” So Satan went out from Yahweh’s presence.
耶和华对撒但说: “好吧, 他所有的一切都交在你手中, 只是不可以伸手害他. ”于是撒但从耶和华面前退去.

1:13 And then there was one day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their firstborn brother’s house.
有一天, 约伯的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒的时候,

1:14 And a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the female donkeys were feeding beside them.
有报信的来见约伯, 说: “牛正在耕田, 母驴在附近吃草的时候,

1:15 Then the Sabeans attacked, and they took them, and they slew the servants by the edge of the sword. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
示巴人忽然来侵袭, 把牛驴掳去, 又用刀杀了仆人, 只有我一个人逃脱, 来向你报告. ”

1:16 While this one was still speaking, another came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens, and it blazed up against the sheep and goats and against the servants, and it consumed them. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
这个人还在说话的时候, 又有人来说: “神的火从天上降下来, 把群羊和仆人都烧光了, 只有我一个人逃脱, 来向你报告. ”

1:17 While this one was still speaking, another came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three divisions, and they made a raid on the camels, and they carried them away, and they struck your servants by the edge of the sword, but I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
他还在说话的时候, 又有人来说: “迦勒底人分成三队突袭骆驼, 把它们掳去, 又用刀杀了仆人, 只有我一个人逃脱, 来向你报告. ”

1:18 At the time this one was speaking, another came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their firstborn brother’s house.
他还在说话的时候, 又有人来说: “你的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒的时候,

1:19 And behold, a great wind came from across the desert, and it struck the four corners of the house so that it fell upon the young people, and they died. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
没想到有一阵狂风, 从旷野那边刮来, 吹袭房屋的四角, 房屋倒塌在他们身上, 他们就都死了, 只有我一个人逃脱, 来向你报告. ”

1:20 Then Job arose and tore his outer garment and shaved his head; then he fell upon the ground and he worshiped.
于是约伯起来, 撕裂外袍, 剃了头, 俯伏在地上敬拜,

1:21 Then he said, “Naked I came out from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return there. Yahweh gives, and Yahweh takes. Let Yahweh’s name be blessed.”
说: “我赤身出于母胎, 也必赤身归去. 赏赐的是耶和华, 收回的也是耶和华; 耶和华的名是应当称颂的. ”

1:22 In all this, Job did not sin and did not charge God with wrongdoing.
在这一切事上, 约伯并没有犯罪, 也没有归咎于神.

Job - Chapter 2

2:1 And then one day the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came into their midst to present himself before Yahweh.
又有一天, 神的众子都来侍立在耶和华面前, 撒但也来到他们中间, 侍立在耶和华面前.

2:2 So Yahweh asked Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”
耶和华问撒但: “你从哪里来? ”撒但回答说: “我在地上徘徊, 走来走去. ”

2:3 So Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? Indeed, there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessness even though you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing.”
耶和华问撒但: “你有没有注意到我的仆人约伯? 世上再也没有一个人像他那样完全,正直, 敬畏神, 远离罪恶. 虽然你挑拨我与他作对, 无缘无故使他倾家荡产, 他还是坚守自己的纯全. ”

2:4 Then Satan answered him and said, “Skin for skin! All that that man has he will give for his life.
撒但回答耶和华说: “人以皮换皮, 宁可付出他所有的一切去保命.

2:5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bones and his flesh, and see whether he will curse you to your face.”
只要你伸手伤害他的骨和肉, 他一定当面亵渎你. ”

2:6 So Yahweh said to Satan, “All right, he is in your power. Only spare his life.”
耶和华对撒但说: “好吧, 他在你手中, 不过, 要留存他的命. ”

2:7 So Satan went out from Yahweh’s presence, and he inflicted Job with loathsome skin sores from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head.
于是撒但从耶和华面前退去, 击打约伯, 使他从脚掌到头顶都生了毒疮.

2:8 So he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and he sat in the midst of the ashes.
约伯坐在灰烬中, 拿瓦片刮自己.

2:9 Then his wife said to him, “Are you still persisting in your blamelessness? Curse God and die.”
他妻子对他说: “难道你还要坚守自己的纯全吗? 你不如放弃神, 死掉算了. ”

2:10 So he said to her, “You speak like one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we receive the good from God, but not receive the evil?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
可是约伯对她说: “你说话像个愚妄的女人. 难道我们从神得福, 也不应当受祸吗? ”在这一切事上, 约伯并没有用口犯罪.

2:11 Thus Job’s three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So each set out from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met together to come to console him and to comfort him.
约伯的三个朋友, 提幔人以利法,书亚人比勒达,拿玛人琐法, 听到这一切降在他身上的灾祸, 就各从自己的地方出发, 相约而来对他表同情, 安慰他.

2:12 Thus they lifted up their eyes from afar, but they did not recognize him, so they raised their voice, and they wept, and each man tore his outer garment and threw dust on their heads toward the sky.
他们从远处举目观望, 竟认不出他来, 就放声大哭, 各自撕裂外袍, 向天扬起尘土, 落在自己头上.

2:13 Then they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering was very great.
他们就七天七夜与他一起坐在地上, 没有人向他说一句话, 因为他们看出他极其痛苦.

Job - Chapter 3

3:1 Afterward Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
后来, 约伯开口咒诅自己的生日.

3:2 Thus Job spoke up and said,
约伯说:

3:3 “Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’
“愿我生的那日泯灭, 人说怀男胎的那夜灭没.

3:4 Let that day become darkness; may God not seek it from above, nor may daylight shine on it.
愿那日变成黑暗, 愿神不从上面眷顾, 愿光明不照耀在其上.

3:5 Let darkness and deep shadow claim it; let clouds settle on it; let them terrify it with the blackness of day.
愿黑暗与死荫索讨那日, 愿密云停留在上面, 愿白天的昏黑惊吓它.

3:6 Let darkness seize that night; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months.
愿那夜被幽暗夺去, 不让它连在平日之中, 列入月数之内.

3:7 Look, let that night become barren; let a joyful song not enter it.
愿那夜没有生育, 也没有欢乐的声音.

3:8 Let those who curse the day curse it, those who are skilled at rousing Leviathan.
那些咒诅日子,善于惹动海怪的, 愿他们咒诅那夜.

3:9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light but there be none, and let it not see the eyelids of dawn
愿那夜黎明的星星变成黑暗, 愿那夜等候发光却不亮, 见不到清晨的曙光.

3:10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
因为那夜没有把我母胎的门关闭, 也没有把苦难隐藏, 使我看不见.

3:11 “Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not come forth from the womb and expire?
我为什么不一离母胎就死去? 我为什么不一出母腹就断气?

3:12 Why did the knees receive me and the breasts, that I could suck?
为什么有膝承接我? 为什么有乳哺养我?

3:13 For now I would lie down, and I would be at peace; I would be asleep; then I would be at rest
不然, 我早已躺下安息,

3:14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who rebuild ruins for themselves,
与世上那些为自己建造陵墓的君王和谋士同睡,

3:15 or with high officials who have gold, who fill up their houses with silver.
或与那些拥有黄金, 房屋装满银子的王侯同眠.

3:16 Or why was I not hidden like a miscarriage, like infants who did not see the light?
我为什么不像暗中流产的胎, 未见天日的婴孩, 归于无有呢?

3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest;
在那里, 恶人止息搅扰, 筋疲力尽的得安息;

3:18 the prisoners are at ease together; they do not hear the oppressor’s voice.
被囚的同享安宁; 听不见督工的声音;

3:19 The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his masters.
老少尊卑都在那里, 奴仆脱离主人的辖制.

3:20 “Why does he give light to one in misery and life to those bitter of soul,
为什么有光明赐给劳碌的人, 有生命赐给苦命的人呢?

3:21 who wait for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than for treasures,
他们想死却死不了, 找死胜于找宝藏;

3:22 who rejoice exceedingly, and they are glad when they find the grave?
他们找到坟墓就高兴, 非常欢喜快乐.

3:23 Why does he give light to a man whose way is hidden, and God has fenced him in all around?
为什么有生命赐给前途茫茫, 又被神四面围困的人呢?

3:24 For my sighing comes before my bread, and my groanings gush forth like water
我以叹息代替食物, 我唉哼的声音如水涌出.

3:25 because the dread that I feel has come upon me, and what I feared befalls me.
我所惧怕的临到我, 我所惊恐的向我而来.

3:26 I am not at ease, and I am not at peace, and I do not have rest, thus turmoil has come.”
我不得安逸, 不得安静, 也不得安息, 却有搅扰来到. ”

Job - Chapter 4

4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
提幔人以利法回答说:

4:2 “If someone would test a word with you, would you be offended? But who can refrain from speaking?
“人若对你说一句话, 你就厌烦吗? 但谁又忍得住不说话呢?

4:3 Look, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened weak hands.
你曾经教过许多人, 又坚固了无力的手;

4:4 Your words have raised up the one who stumbles, and you have strengthened knees giving way.
你的话扶起了绊倒的人, 你使弯曲乏力的膝坚挺.

4:5 But now it has come to you, and you are worn out; it touches you, and you are horrified.
但现在祸患临到你, 你就灰心, 灾祸遇上你, 你就惊惶沮丧.

4:6 Is not your fear in God your confidence? Is not your hope even the integrity of your ways?
你所自恃的, 不是敬畏神吗? 你所盼望的, 不是行为完全吗?

4:7 “Think now, who has perished who is innocent? Or where are the upright destroyed?
请想一想, 无辜的人有谁灭亡? 哪有正直的人被剪除呢?

4:8 Just as I have seen, plowers of mischief and sowers of trouble will reap it.
据我所见, 耕耘罪孽的, 必收割罪孽; 种植毒害的, 必收割毒害.

4:9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they come to an end.
他们因神的气息而灭亡, 因他的怒气而消灭.

4:10 The roar of the lion and the voice of a lion in its prime, and the teeth of the young lions are broken.
狮子的咆哮, 猛狮的吼声, 尽都止息, 壮狮的牙齿也都断掉.

4:11 The lion is perishing without prey, and the lion’s whelps are scattered.
公狮因缺乏猎物而死亡, 母狮之子也被分散.

4:12 “And a word came stealing to me, and my ear received the whisper from it.
有话偷偷传给我, 我的耳朵听到细语;

4:13 Amid troubling thoughts from night visions, at the falling of deep sleep on men,
在夜间因异象而烦扰的心思中, 世上都在沉睡的时候,

4:14 dread met me, and trembling, and it made many of my bones shake.
恐惧战栗临到我, 以致我全身发抖.

4:15 And a spirit glided before my face; the hair of my flesh bristled.
有灵拂过我面前, 使我毛骨悚然.

4:16 It stood still, but I could not recognize its appearance; a form was before my eyes; there was a hush, and I heard a voice:
那灵站住, 我辨不出他的形状, 只见有一形象在我眼前, 然后我听见低微的声音, 说:

4:17 ‘Can a human being be more righteous than God, or can a man be more pure than his Maker?
‘人能在神面前算为公义吗? 人能在他的创造主面前算为洁净吗?

4:18 Look, he does not trust in his servants and he charges his angels with error.
他的仆役他还不信任, 他的天使他也指责过错,

4:19 How much more dwellers in clay houses, whose foundation is in the dust? They are crushed like a moth.
何况那些住在土屋里, 根基在尘土中, 比蠹虫还容易被压碎的人呢?

4:20 Between morning and evening they are destroyed; without anyone regarding it they perish forever.
在早晚之间就被毁灭, 永归沉沦, 无人怀念.

4:21 Is not their tent cord pulled up within them? They die, but not in wisdom.’
他们帐棚的绳索不是从他们中间抽出来吗? 他们死去, 不是无智慧而死吗? ’”

Job - Chapter 5

5:1 “Call now, is there anyone answering you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
“你只管呼吁吧, 有谁回答你? 在众圣者之中你转向哪一位?

5:2 For vexation will slay the fool, and jealousy will kill the simple.
烦恼杀死愚昧人, 激情害死愚蒙人.

5:3 I have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
我看见愚昧人扎下了根, 但咒诅忽然临到他的居所.

5:4 His children are far from deliverance, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer—
他的儿女远离安稳之处, 在城门口被欺压却没有人援救.

5:5 whose harvest the hungry eats, and he takes it from behind the thorns; and the thirsty pants after their wealth.
饥饿的人吃尽他的庄稼, 连在荆棘里的也抢去; 渴求的人吞尽他的财富.

5:6 Indeed, mischief does not come from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the earth.
患难不从土中生出来, 劳碌不由地里长出来;

5:7 But a human being is born to trouble, and they soar aloft like sparks.
原来人为劳碌而生, 如同火花向上飞扬.

5:8 “But I myself will seek God, and to God I would commit my cause.
至于我, 我必寻求神, 向他陈明我的案件.

5:9 He is doing great and unsearchable things, marvelous things without number—
他所作的大事无法测度, 所行的奇事不可胜数.

5:10 the one who is giving rain on the surface of the earth and is sending water on the surface of the fields,
降雨在地上, 遣水到田里,

5:11 to set the lowly on high, and those mourning are lifted to safety.
把低微的安置在高位, 把哀恸的高举于安稳之处;

5:12 He is frustrating the devices of the crafty, and their hands do not achieve success.
又挫败狡猾人的计谋, 使他们的手所作的无法成全;

5:13 He is capturing the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are rushed.
他使有智慧的人中了自己的诡计, 使奸诈人的谋算快快失败.

5:14 In the daytime they meet with darkness, and they grope at noon as in the night.
他们白天遇见黑暗, 中午摸索如在夜间.

5:15 And he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the poor from the hand of the strong.
他拯救穷乏人脱离他们口中的刀剑, 脱离强暴人的手;

5:16 So there is hope for the powerless, and wickedness shuts its mouth.
这样, 贫穷人有指望, 不义的人却闭口无言.

5:17 “Look, happy is the human being whom God reproves; and you must not despise the discipline of Shaddai,
神所责备的人是有福的, 所以你不要轻看全能者的管教.

5:18 for he himself wounds, but he binds up; he strikes, but his hands heal.
因为他打伤, 又缠裹; 他击伤, 又亲手医治.

5:19 From six troubles he will deliver you, and in seven evil shall not touch you.
你六次遭遇患难, 他都救拔你, 就算第七次, 灾祸也伤不了你.

5:20 In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
在饥荒中, 他必救你脱离死亡; 在战争中, 他必救你脱离刀剑的权势.

5:21 From the scourge of the tongue you shall be hidden, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
你必不受人口舌之害, 灾殃临到, 也不害怕.

5:22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and you shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.
对灾殃和饥馑, 一笑置之, 地上的野兽你也不害怕.

5:23 For your covenant will be with the stones of the field, and the wild animals of the field will be at peace with you.
你必与田间的石头立约, 田间的野兽必与你和平相处.

5:24 And you shall know that your tent is safe, and you will inspect your fold, and you shall not be missing anything.
你必晓得你的帐棚平安无事; 你查看庄舍, 也一无缺失.

5:25 And you shall know that your offspring are many, and your descendants like the vegetation of the earth.
你必晓得你的后裔众多, 子孙像地上的青草那样茂盛.

5:26 You shall come in maturity to the grave, as the raising up of a stack of sheaves in its season.
你必全寿才归到坟墓去, 如同禾捆到时就收起来.

5:27 “Look, we have searched this out—it is true; hear it and know it yourself.”
这道我们已经查明实在是这样, 你当聆听, 也当明白. ”

Job - Chapter 6

6:1 Then Job answered and said,
于是约伯回答说:

6:2 “If only my vexation could be well weighed, and my calamity could be lifted up together with it in the balances,
“但愿称称我的烦恼, 把我的灾害一起放在天平上.

6:3 for then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words have been rash,
现在这些都比海沙更重, 所以我冒失发言.

6:4 for the arrows of Shaddai are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
因为全能者的箭射中我, 我的灵喝尽了箭的毒液, 神的惊吓排阵攻击我.

6:5 Does the wild ass bray over grass, or the ox bellow over its fodder?
野驴有草料还会哀鸣吗? 牛有饲料还会穷叫吗?

6:6 Can tasteless food be eaten without salt, or is there taste in the white of a marshmallow plant?
淡而无盐的食物有什么好吃呢? 蛋白有什么味道呢?

6:7 I refused to touch them; they are like food that will make me ill.
这些使我恶心的食物, 我必不肯尝.

6:8 “O that my request may come, and that God may grant my hope,
但愿我得着我所祈求的, 愿神赐我所盼望的.

6:9 that God would decide that he would crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me.
愿他乐意把我压碎, 愿他放手把我剪除.

6:10 But it will still be my consolation, and I would recoil in unrelenting pain, for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
这样, 我们得安慰, 在痛苦之中我还可以欢跃, 因为我没有否认那圣者的言语.

6:11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should hold out?
我有什么力量使我能等候呢? 我的结局是什么好叫我忍耐呢?

6:12 Or is my strength like the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?
我的气力是石头一样吗? 我的肉身是铜的吗?

6:13 Indeed, my help is not in me, and any success is driven from me.
我里面不是无能自助吗? 见识不是离我而去吗?

6:14 “Loyal love should come for the afflicted from his friend, even if he forsakes the fear of Shaddai.
朋友应该怜悯灰心的人, 因为他舍弃了对全能者的敬畏.

6:15 My companions are treacherous like a torrent-bed; like a streambed of wadis they flow away,
我的兄弟诡诈像干涸的溪流, 又像流干的溪水;

6:16 which are growing dark because of ice upon them, it will pile up snow.
水流因冰块融化而混浊, 有雪隐藏在其中.

6:17 In time they dry up, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
天气一暖溪水就消失, 气候一热就干涸.

6:18 The paths of their way wind around; they go up into the wasteland, and they perish.
商队顺溪而行, 结果偏离原道, 走到荒野之地而死亡.

6:19 The caravans of Tema looked; the traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.
提玛的商队瞻望溪水, 示巴的客旅等候水流.

6:20 They are disappointed, because they trusted; they came here and they are confounded.
他们失望, 因为所盼望的落了空; 他们到达那里就灰心.

6:21 “For now you have become such; you see terrors, and you fear.
现在你们就是这样, 看见我的灾难就害怕.

6:22 Is it because I have said, ‘Give to me,’ or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
难道我说过‘请供给我’, 或说‘取你们的财物馈赠我’吗?

6:23 or, ‘Save me from the foe’s hand,’ or, ‘Ransom me from the tyrants’ hand’?
或我说过‘救我脱离敌人的手’, 或说‘赎我脱离强暴人的手’吗?

6:24 Teach me, and I myself will be silent; and make me understand how I have gone astray.
请指教, 我就默不作声; 请指示, 我有什么过错.

6:25 How painful are upright words! But what does your reproof reprove?
正直的言语多么有力! 但你们的责备究竟责备什么呢?

6:26 Do you intend to reprove my words and consider the words of a desperate man as wind?
绝望人的话不过是风, 你们还想批判吗?

6:27 Even over the orphan you would cast the lot, and you would bargain over your friend.
你们竟抽签得孤儿, 拿朋友当货物.

6:28 “Therefore be prepared, turn to me, and I surely will not lie to your face.
现在请你们看看我, 我绝不当你们的面撒谎.

6:29 Please turn, let no injustice happen; indeed, turn, my righteousness is still intact.
请转意, 不要不公道; 请再转意, 我还有道理在.

6:30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Or can my palate not discern calamity?
我的舌上有不义吗? 我的口不能辨别灾害吗? ”

Job - Chapter 7

7:1 “Does not a human being have hard service on earth? And are not his days like the days of a laborer?
“人在世上怎能没有劳役呢? 你的日子不像雇工的日子吗?

7:2 Like a slave he longs for the shadow, and like a laborer he waits for his wages.
正如仆人切慕暮影, 又像雇工盼望工价.

7:3 So I had to inherit months of worthlessness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
照样, 我有空虚的岁月, 也有劳苦的黑夜为我派定.

7:4 When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I rise?’ But the night is long, and I have my fill of tossing until dawn.
我躺下的时候, 就说: ‘我什么时候起来? ’然而, 长夜漫漫, 我辗转反侧, 直到黎明.

7:5 My body is clothed with maggots and clods of dust; my skin hardens, then it gives way again.
我的肉体以虫子和土块为衣裳, 我的皮肤裂开又流脓.

7:6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.
我过的日子比梭还要快, 在毫无盼望之中而结束.

7:7 Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will not return to see good.
求你记念我的性命不过是一口气, 我的眼必不再看见福乐.

7:8 The eye of the one seeing me will not see me; your eyes are upon me, but I will be gone.
看我的, 他的眼再也看不到我, 你的眼要看我, 我已经不在了.

7:9 A cloud vanishes, and it goes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will not come up.
云彩怎样消散逝去, 照样, 人下阴间也不再上来.

7:10 He does not return again to his house, and his place does not recognize him again.
他不再回自己的家, 故乡再也不认识他.

7:11 “Even I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in my spirit’s anguish; I will complain in my inner self’s bitterness.
因此, 我不再禁止我的口, 我要说出灵里的忧愁, 倾诉心中的痛苦.

7:12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that you set a guard over me?
我岂是洋海或是海怪, 你竟然设守卫防备我?

7:13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,’
我若说: ‘我的床必安慰我, 我的榻必减轻我的苦情’,

7:14 then you terrify me with dreams, and with visions you terrify me.
你就用梦惊扰我, 又用异象惊吓我,

7:15 So my inner self will choose strangling— death more than my existence.

7:17 “What is a human being that you make him great and that you fix your mind on him,
人算什么, 你竟看他为大, 又把他放在心上;

7:18 so that you visit him every morning, you test him every moment?
每天早晨你都鉴察他, 每时每刻你也试验他.

7:19 How long will you not turn away from me? Or not leave me alone until I swallow my spit?
你到什么时候才转眼不看我, 任凭我咽下唾沫呢?

7:20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, watcher of humanity? Why have you made me as a target for yourself, so that I have become a burden to myself?
鉴察世人的主啊! 我若犯了罪, 跟你有什么关系呢? 你为什么把我当作箭靶, 使我以自己为重担呢?

7:21 And why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my guilt? For now I shall lie in the dust, and you will seek me, but I will be no more.”
你为什么不赦免我的过犯, 除去我的罪孽呢? 现在我快要躺卧在尘土中, 那时你寻找我, 我却不在了. ”

8:9 for we are of yesterday, and we do not know, for our days on earth are a shadow.
我们只是昨天才有的, 所以一无所知; 我们在世的日子不过是影儿.

8:10 Will they themselves not teach you and tell you and utter words from their heart?
难道他们不指教你, 从心里发出言语来吗?

8:11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is not a marsh? Will reeds flourish without water?
蒲草没有泥, 怎能生长? 芦苇没有水, 怎能长大呢?

8:12 While it is in its flower and is not plucked, yet it withers before all grass.
尚青还没有割下来的时候, 就比百草先枯槁.

8:13 So are the paths of all who forget God; and the hope of the godless will perish,

8:14 whose confidence is cut off and whose trust is a spider’s house.

8:15 He will lean himself against his house, but it will not stand; he will take hold of it, but it will not endure.

8:17 His roots twine over a stone heap; he sees a house of stone.

8:18 If he destroys him from his place, then it deceives him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’
他若从本处被拔除, 那处就否认他, 说: ‘我没有见过你. ’

8:19 Look, this is the joy of his way, and from dust others will spring up.
看哪, 这就是他人生的乐趣, 往后必有别的人从尘土中生出来.

8:20 “Look, God will not reject the blameless, and he will not uphold the hand of evildoers.
看哪, 神必不离弃完全人, 也不扶助行恶的人之手;

8:21 Yet he will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with a shout of joy.
他还要以欢笑充满你的口, 以欢呼充满你的嘴.

8:22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”

我岂是抱怨的人呢? 我的心为什么不能忍耐呢?

21:5 Turn to me and be appalled, and place your hand on your mouth.

21:11 They send out their little ones like the flock, and their children dance around.

21:15 Who is Shaddai that we should serve him, or what would we benefit when we plead with him?’

21:16 Look, their prosperity is not in their hands; the schemes of the wicked are repugnant to me.
他们的福乐岂不是掌握在他们的手中? 恶人的谋算离我很远.

21:17 “How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, and their disaster comes upon them? He distributes pains in his anger.

21:34 So how will you comfort me with emptiness, when fraud is left in your answers?”
你们的回话既然只存虚假, 怎样徒然安慰我呢? ”

然而, 智慧从哪里来, 聪明之地在哪里呢?

28:21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and it is concealed from the birds of the heaven.
众生的眼睛都看不到, 空中的飞鸟也不能发现.

28:22 Abaddon and Death say, ‘We heard its rumor with our ears.’
灭亡和死亡都说: ‘我们只风闻它的事罢了. ’

28:23 “God understands its way, and he knows its place,
神明白智慧的道路, 也晓得智慧的所在,

28:24 for he himself looks to the end of the earth; he sees under all the heaven.
因为他察看全世界, 遍观全地.

28:25 When he gave weight to the wind and he apportioned the waters by measure,
他为风定轻重, 又度量众水;

28:26 when he made a rule for the rain and a way for the thunder’s lightning bolt,
为雨露立定律, 为雷电定道路.

28:27 then he saw it and talked about it; he established it, and moreover, he explored it.
那时他看见智慧, 描述智慧, 他坚立智慧, 并且查探智慧.

28:28 And to the human beings he said, ‘Look, the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”
他对人说: ‘敬畏主就是智慧, 远离邪恶就是聪明. ’”

29:13 The blessing of the wretched came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a headband.
我以公义作衣服穿上; 我的公平好像外袍和冠冕.

29:25 I chose their way, and I sat as head, and I dwelled like a king among the troops, like one who comforts mourners.
我为他们选择道路, 又坐首位; 我像君王住在军队中, 又像个安慰悲伤的人. ’”

30:29 I am a companion for the jackals and a companion for ostriches.
我与野狗为兄弟, 又与鸵鸟作同伴.

30:30 My skin turns black on me, and my bones burn with heat.
我的皮肤发黑脱落, 我的骨头因热发烧,

30:31 So my lyre came to be used for mourning, and my flute for the voice of those who weep.
所以我的琴音变为哀音, 我的箫声变为哭声. ”

31:35 O that I had someone hearing me! Here is my signature; let Shaddai answer me! As for the written communication that my adversary has written,
但愿有一位肯听我的, 看哪! 这是我所划的押, 愿全能者回答我, 愿那与我争讼的写好状词.

31:36 I would surely carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me like a crown.
我定要把它带到我的肩上, 绑在我的头上为冠冕.

31:37 I would give him an account of my steps; I would approach him like a noble.
我要向他述说全部的行为, 又像王子一般进到他面前.

31:38 If my land has cried out against me, and its furrows have wept together,
我的田地若呼冤控告我, 地的犁沟若都一同哀哭;

31:39 if I have eaten its yield without payment, or I have caused the breath of its owners to die,
我若吃地里的出产而不给价银, 或使地主气绝身亡,

31:40 let thorns grow in place of wheat and noxious weeds in place of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

你们砌词说话的时候, 我等待着你们的话, 留心听你们的理论.

32:12 And I directed my attention to you; and, look, there is no one for Job who refuted, answering his words among you.

32:13 So do not say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God refute him, not a man.’
你们不要说: ‘我们寻得了智慧; 能胜过他的, 是神, 不是人. ’

32:14 But he did not direct his words to me, and I will not answer him with your words.
约伯没有用他的话攻击我, 我也不用你们的话回答他.

32:15 “They are dismayed; they no longer answer; they have nothing to say.
他们惊惶失措, 不再回应, 他们没有什么可说的话了.

32:16 And I have waited because they do not speak, because they stand there and no longer answer.

32:17 I myself will answer my share also; I myself will declare my knowledge also,
我也要回答我的一份话, 我也要表达我的意见,

32:18 for I am full of words; the spirit within me urges me.
因为我充满了要说的话, 我里面的灵催逼我说出来.

32:19 “Look, my internal organs are like unopened wine, like new wineskins it is ready to burst open.

33:17 to turn human beings aside from their deeds, and he keeps man from pride.

34:2 “Hear my words, you wise men, and listen to me, you who know,
“智慧人哪! 你们要听我的话; 有知识的人哪! 你们要侧耳听我.

34:3 for the ear tests words, and the palate tastes food.
因为耳朵试验言语, 好像上膛尝试食物.

34:4 Let us choose justice for ourselves; let us determine among ourselves what is good—
我们要选择何为是, 让我们彼此知道何为善.

34:5 for Job has said, ‘I am righteous, but God has taken away my justice.
约伯说: ‘我是有理的, 神却夺去我的公理;

34:6 Should I lie concerning my justice? Though I am without transgression, my wound caused by an arrow is incurable.’
我虽然有公理, 却被认为是说谎的; 我虽然毫无过犯, 我所受的箭伤却无法医治. ’

34:7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water?
有哪一个人像约伯呢? 他喝亵慢如同喝水,

34:8 And he goes on the road in company with instigators of mischief, and walks with men of wickedness.
他与作孽的同伙, 他与恶人同行.

34:9 Indeed, he says, ‘A man does not profit when he takes delight in God.’
因为他说过: ‘人讨神的喜悦, 对他并无益处. ’

34:10 “Therefore, listen to me, people who have sense: far be it from God that he should commit wickedness and that Shaddai should do wrong.
所以, 明理的人哪! 你们要听我的话, 神决不至作恶, 全能者断不至行不义,

34:11 Indeed, he will repay according to a human being’s deeds, and according to a man’s way he will let it happen to him.
因为神必照着人所作的报应他, 使各人按照所行的得报应.

34:12 What’s more, God truly does not act wickedly, and Shaddai does not pervert justice.
真的, 神必不作恶, 全能者也必不颠倒是非.

34:13 Who gave him charge over the earth? Or who laid on him the whole world?
谁派他管理大地? 谁设立全世界呢?

34:14 If he should set his heart to it, and he should gather his spirit and his breath to himself,
他若对人决心这样作, 他若把灵与气收归自己,

34:15 all flesh would perish together, and humankind would return to dust.
有血肉生命的就都一同气绝身亡, 世人都归回尘土.

34:16 “But if you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.
你若明理, 就请听这话, 留心听我说话的声音.

34:17 Shall he who hates justice really govern? Or will you declare the Righteous One, the Mighty, guilty?—
恨恶公平的真的可以掌权吗? 那有公义与大能的, 你定他为有罪吗?

34:18 the one who says to a king, ‘You worthless man,’ to noblemen, ‘You wicked man,’
他不是对君王说: ‘你是匪徒’, 又对贵族说: ‘你们是恶人’吗?

34:19 who shows no partiality to officials and who does not take note of the noble more than of the insignificant, for all of them are the work of his hands?
他不徇王子的情面, 也不看重富人过于穷人, 因为他们都是他手所造的.

34:20 In a moment they die, and in the middle of the night the people are shaken, and they pass away, and they take away the mighty effortlessly.
他们在半夜之中剎那之间死亡, 平民因遭受震动而去世, 有权势的被除灭非借人手.

34:21 “Indeed, his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his steps.
神的眼看顾人的道路, 察看他每一步,

34:22 There is no darkness, and there is no deep shadow where instigators of mischief might hide themselves.
没有黑暗, 又没有死荫的地方, 可以给作孽的在那里藏身.

34:23 Indeed, he has not yet appointed a time for man to go to God in the judgment.
神不必进一步鉴察人, 使人到他面前去受审判.

34:24 He shatters the mighty without investigation, and he sets others in their place.
他不必查究就可以打碎有权势的人, 并且设立别人代替他们.

34:25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night so that they are crushed.
他原来留心他们所行的, 在夜间倾覆他们, 他们就被压碎;

34:26 He strikes them where the wicked stood, where there are onlookers,
他在观众面前击打他们, 有如击打恶人一样;

34:27 because they have turned aside from him and have not understood any of his ways,
因为他们偏离正道不跟从他, 也不留心他的一切道路,

34:28 so that they cause the cry of distress from the helpless to come to him, and he hears the cry of distress from the needy,
以致穷人的哀求达到他那里, 他也垂听了困苦人的哀求.

34:29 but he remains quiet, and who can condemn? And he hides his face, and who can behold him? Yet he is over a nation and over a person alike,
他若安静不动, 谁能定他有罪呢? 他若掩面, 谁能定他有罪呢? 无论对待一国或一人, 都是这样.

34:30 so that godless human beings should not reign, nor those who ensnare the people.
别让不敬虔的人作王, 免得他危害人民.

34:31 “Indeed, does anyone say to God, ‘I have endured chastisement; I will not act corruptly again;
有人对神说: ‘我忍受了管教, 不再有败坏的行为了,

34:32 teach me yourself what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not repeat it’?
我所看不到的求你指教我, 我若行了罪孽, 必不再行’.

34:33 According to your judgment, must he repay it because you rejected this? Indeed, you must choose, and not I, so declare what you know.
神会因你拒绝悔改, 就遵照你的心意吗? 要作抉择的是你, 不是我, 你所知道的, 只管说出来吧.

34:34 Those who have sense say to me, and the wise man hearing me says:
明理的人必对我说, 智慧的人要听我的话.

34:35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge, and his words are without insight.
约伯说话毫无知识, 他的言语没有智慧.

34:36 Would that Job were tested up to the end because his answers are like those from men of mischief,
但愿约伯被试验到底, 因为他的回答像恶人一样.

34:37 for he adds transgression to his sin; he claps hands among us, and he multiplies his words against God.’ ”
他在自己的罪上又加过犯, 在我们中间鼓掌嘲笑神, 用许多话敌对神. ”

Job - Chapter 35

35:1 Moreover, Elihu spoke up and said,
以利户回答说:

35:2 “Do you think this is justice when you say, ‘I am right before God’?
“你说: ‘我在神面前更显为义’, 你自以为这话有理吗?

35:3 If you ask what it profits you: ‘How do I benefit by refraining from my sin?’
你还说: ‘你有什么益处呢? 我不犯罪有什么好处? ’

35:4 I myself will give answer to you and to your friends with you.
我要用言语回答你, 和与你在一起的朋友.

35:5 “Look at the heavens, and see; and observe the clouds that are higher than you.
你要往天仰望观看, 细看高过你的云天.

35:6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
你若犯罪, 你能使神受害吗? 你的过犯若增多, 你又能使他受损吗?

35:7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?
你若为人正义, 你能给他什么呢? 他从你手里能领受什么呢?

35:8 Your wickedness affects a person like yourself, and your righteousness affects humans.
你的邪恶只能害像你的人, 你的公义也只能叫世人得益.

35:9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out; they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
他们因多受欺压而呼叫, 因受强权者的压制而呼求.

35:10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
却没有说: ‘神我的创造主在哪里呢? 他使人在夜间歌唱.

35:11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
他教导我们过于教导地上的走兽, 使我们有智慧胜于空中的飞鸟. ’

35:12 There they cry out, but he does not answer because of the pride of evildoers.
因为恶人骄傲的缘故, 他们在那里呼求, 神却不回答.

35:13 “Surely God does not hear an empty plea, and Shaddai does not regard it.
真的, 神必不垂听虚妄的呼求, 全能者也必不留意,

35:14 How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
更何况你说你不得见他. 你的案件在他面前, 你忍耐地等候他吧!

35:15 But now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,
但现在因为他还没有在忿怒中降罚, 也不大理会人的过犯;

35:16 therefore Job opens his mouth in empty talk— without knowledge he multiplies words.”
所以约伯开口说空话, 多说无知识的话. ”

Job - Chapter 36

36:1 Then Elihu continued and said,
以利户又接着说:

36:2 “Bear with me a little longer, and I will explain, for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
“你再等我片刻我就指示你, 因为我还有话要为神说.

36:3 I will bring my knowledge from far away, and I will ascribe righteousness to my maker,
我要从远处引来我的意见, 把公义归给我的创造主.

36:4 for truly my words are not falsehood; one who has perfect knowledge is with you.
我的话真的不是谎言, 有一位知识全备的与你同在.

36:5 Look, God is mighty but does not despise anyone; he is mighty and good in understanding.
神大有能力, 并且不藐视人, 他的智慧大有能力.

36:6 He does not keep the wicked alive but grants justice to the afflicted.
他不容恶人生存, 却为困苦人主持公道.

36:7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but he sets them forever with kings on the throne, and they are exalted.
他的眼目时常看顾义人, 他使他们与君王同坐宝座, 他们永远被高举.

36:8 “And if they are tied up with fetters, if they are caught in the cords of misery,
他们若被锁链捆住, 被苦难的绳索缠住,

36:9 then he declares their work to them, and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
他就把他们的作为和过犯都显示, 使他们知道他们骄傲自大.

36:10 So he opens their ear to the discipline, and he commands that they return from mischief.
他开启他们的耳朵可以领受教训, 吩咐他们离开罪孽而悔改.

36:11 If they listen and serve him, they complete their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.
他们若听从他,事奉他, 就必幸福地度尽他们的日子, 也必快乐地度过他们的岁月.

36:12 But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword, and they pass away without knowledge.
他们若不听从, 就必死在刀下, 毫无知识地气绝身亡.

36:13 And the godless of heart cherish anger; they do not cry for help when he binds them.
那些心里不敬虔的人积存怒气, 神捆绑他们, 他们竟不呼求.

36:14 They die in their youth, and their life ends among the male shrine prostitutes.
他必早年丧命, 丧命如庙妓一样.

36:15 He delivers the afflicted by his misery, and he opens their ears by the adversity.
神借着苦难救拔困苦人, 以他们所受的压迫开启他们的耳朵.

36:16 And what’s more, he allured you out of distress into a broad place, where in place of it was no constraint; and what was set on your table is full of fatness.
他也诱导你脱离患难的虎口, 到宽阔不狭窄之地, 到你摆满肥甘的席上.

36:17 But you are obsessed with the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold of you.
你却满有恶人所当受的审判, 审断和刑罚把你抓住.

36:18 Yes, it is wrath, so that it will not incite you into mockery; and do not let the ransom’s greatness turn you aside.
你要小心不可让忿怒激动你, 以致侮慢神, 也不要因赎价大而偏离正道.

36:19 Will your cry for help sustain you without distress, or all the efforts of your strength?
你的呼求,或一切势力, 能使你不受患难吗?

36:20 You must not long for the night, to cut off people in their place.
你不可切慕黑夜来临, 就是众人在他们的住处被除灭的时候.

36:21 Take care, you must not turn to mischief, for because of this you have been tried by misery.
你要小心, 不可转向罪孽, 因为你选择罪孽而不选择患难.

36:22 “Look, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?
神靠自己的能力高高在上, 有谁像神指教人呢?

36:23 Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who says, ‘You have done wrong’?
谁把他所行的道路派给他? 谁能说: ‘你所行的不义’呢?

36:24 Remember that you should extol his work, of which people have sung.
你要记得称赞他所行的为大, 就是众人所歌颂的.

36:25 All human beings have looked on it; everyone watches from afar.
他所行的, 万人都看见, 世人都从远处观看.

36:26 “Look, God is exalted, and we do not know him; the number of his years is unsearchable.
神为至大, 我们不能了解, 他的年数, 无法测度.

36:27 Indeed, he draws up the drops of water; he distills the rain into its mist,
他吸收滴滴水点, 使水滴在云雾中化成雨,

36:28 which the clouds pour down; they shower abundantly on human beings.
云层倾下雨水, 沛然降在世人身上.

36:29 “Moreover, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds, the thundering of his dwelling place?

36:30 Look, he scatters his lightning around him, and he covers the roots of the sea.
他在自己的周围展开电光, 又用水遮盖海底;

36:31 Indeed, he judges people by them; he gives food in abundance.
他用这些审断万人, 又赐予丰盛的粮食;

36:32 He covers his hands with lightning, and he commands it the place at which to strike.
他以电光遮盖双手, 然后吩咐电光去攻击目标,

36:33 His thundering tells about him; the livestock also tell concerning what rises.
他以雷声宣扬自己, 甚至牲畜也注意将有什么临近. ”

Job - Chapter 37

37:1 “About this also my heart trembles, and it leaps from its place.
“我的心因此战兢, 跳离原处.

37:2 Listen carefully to his voice’s thunder and the rumbling that goes out from his mouth.
你们当细听他轰轰的声音, 他口中发出隆隆的雷声.

37:3 He lets it loose under all the heavens, and his lightning to the earth’s corners.
他发雷声响遍天下, 也发电光闪到地极.

37:4 After it, his voice roars; it thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard.
接着雷声霹雳, 神以自己威严之声打雷, 人听到雷声的时候, 神并没有留住风霜雨云.

37:5 “God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways; he does great things, and we cannot comprehend.
神以奇妙的方法打雷, 他行大事, 我们不能了解.

37:6 For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth’; and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain—
他对雪说: ‘降在地上’, 对大雨暴雨也是这样.

37:7 he stops all human beings from working so that everyone whom he has made may know it.
他封住各人的手, 叫万人知道他的作为.

37:8 Then the animal goes into its den, and it remains in its den.
野兽进入洞中, 留在穴里.

风暴来自南宫, 寒冷出于北方.

37:10 By God’s breath, ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen.
神所呼的气息结成冰, 广阔无边的水也凝结;

37:11 Also, he loads down thick clouds with moisture; his lightning scatters the clouds.
他使密云满载水气, 云彩布散他的电光.

37:12 And they turn around by his guidance to accomplish all that he has commanded them on the face of the habitable world.
电光照着神的指引来往旋转, 在地球上行他一切所吩咐的.

37:13 Whether as correction or for his land, or as loyal love, he lets it happen.
他使电光来临, 是为施行责罚, 或为滋润大地, 或为赐予慈爱.

37:14 “Hear this, Job; stand still and consider carefully God’s wondrous works.
约伯啊! 你当留心听这话, 要站立思想神奇妙的事.

37:15 Do you know how God commands them and how he causes his cloud’s lightning to shine?
神怎样吩咐这些, 又怎样使云中的电光照耀, 你知道吗?

37:16 Do you know about the hovering of the clouds, the marvelous works of the one with perfect knowledge?
密云怎样浮于空中, 那知识全备者奇妙的作为, 你知道吗?

37:17 You whose garments are hot, when the earth is being still because of the south wind,
地因南风而寂静的时候, 你的衣服怎样热起来, 你知道吗?

37:18 with him can you spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror?
你能与神同铺云天吗? 这云天坚硬如铸成的镜子.

37:19 “Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of the presence of darkness.
我们因愚昧无知的缘故, 不能陈明我们的案件, 请你告诉我们应该对他说什么话.

37:20 Should he be told that I want to speak? Or did a man say that he would be communicated with?
人怎能对他说: ‘我要说话’? 哪有人自愿灭亡呢?

37:21 So then, they do not look at the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and has cleansed them.
人不能看见云后的强光, 唯有经风一吹, 天才晴朗.

37:22 From the north comes gold— awesome majesty is around God.
金光来自北方, 在神的周围有可怕的威严.

37:23 As for Shaddai, we cannot attain him; he is exalted in power, and he does not oppress justice and abundant righteousness.
论到全能者, 我们无法把他查出; 他大有能力与公平, 又满有公义, 他必不苦待人.

37:24 Therefore people revered him; he does not regard any who think that they are wise.”
因此人人都应该敬畏他; 心中自以为有智慧的, 他都不看顾. ”

38:10 and I prescribed my rule for it, and I set bars and doors,

38:11 and I said, ‘You shall come up to here, but you shall not go further, and here it will set a boundary for your proud surging waves’?

38:19 “Where then is the way where the light dwells? And where then is its place,

38:20 that you may take it to its territory, and that you might discern the paths to its home?

38:22 Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
你曾入过雪库, 或见过雹仓吗?

38:23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?
这些雪雹是我为降患难的时候, 为打仗和争战的日子所存留的.

38:24 Where then is the way where the light is distributed, where he scatters the east wind upon the earth?
光从哪条路散开, 东风从哪里分散在地上?

38:25 “Who has cut open a channel for the torrents and a way for the thunder bolts,
谁为大雨分水道, 谁为雷电定道路?

38:26 to bring rain on a land where no one lives, a desert where no humans live,
使雨降在无人之地, 落在无人居住的旷野,

38:27 to satisfy desert and wasteland, and to cause the ground to put forth the rising of grass?

雨有父亲吗? 露珠是谁生的呢?

38:29 From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who fathered the frost of heaven?
冰出自谁的胎? 天上的霜是谁所生的呢?

38:30 Like stone the waters become hard, and the faces of the deep freeze.
众水坚硬如石头, 深渊的表面冻结成冰.

38:31 “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or can you loosen the cords of Orion?

38:35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go? And will they say to you, ‘Here we are’?

38:36 Who has put wisdom in the ibis, or who has given understanding to the rooster?

38:38 at the flowing of the dust into a cast and the clods cling together?
谁能凭智慧数算云天呢? 谁能把天上的水袋倾倒呢?

38:39 “Can you hunt prey for the lion? And can you satisfy the hunger of strong lions
狮子在洞中蹲伏, 在藏身之处躺卧埋伏的时候,

38:40 when they are crouched in the dens, when they lie in the thicket in an ambush?

38:41 Who prepares for the crow its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, and they wander around for lack of food?
乌鸦雏鸟因缺乏食物飞来飞去, 向神哀求的时候, 谁为乌鸦预备食物呢? ”

Job - Chapter 39

39:1 “Do you know the time when the goats of the rocks give birth? Do you observe the doe deer’s giving birth?

39:7 It scorns the city’s turmoil; it does not hear the driver’s shouts.
它嗤笑城里的喧哗, 不听赶野驴的呼喝声;

39:8 It explores the mountains as its pasture and searches after every kind of green plant.
它探索群山作它的草场, 寻觅各样青绿的东西.

39:9 “Is the wild ox willing to serve you, or will he spend the night at your feeding trough?

39:11 Can you trust it because its strength is great, or will you hand your labor over to it?
你怎能因它的力大就倚赖它? 怎能把你所作的交给它作呢?

39:12 Can you rely on it that it will return your grain and that it will gather it to your threshing floor?
怎能信任它能把你的粮食运回来; 又收聚你禾场上的谷粒呢?

39:13 “The wings of the female ostrich flap— are they the pinions of the stork or the falcon?

39:14 Indeed, it leaves its eggs to the earth, and it lets them be warmed on the ground,

39:15 and it forgets that a foot might crush an egg, and a wild animal might trample it.

39:16 It deals cruelly with its young ones, as if they were not its own, as if without fear that its labor were in vain,

Job - Chapter 42

42:1 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
约伯回答耶和华说:

42:2 “I know that you can do all things, and any scheme from you will not be thwarted.
“我知道你万事都能作, 你的旨意是不能拦阻的.

42:3 ‘Who is this darkening counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I uttered, but I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, but I did not know.
这以无知无识的言语使神的旨意模糊不清的是谁呢? 所以我说了我所不明白的; 这些事太奇妙, 是我不晓得的.

42:4 ‘Hear and I will speak; I will question you, then inform me.’
求你听我, 我要说话; 我要问你, 你要告诉我.

42:5 By the ear’s hearing I heard of you, but now my eye has seen you.
我从前只是风闻有你, 但现在亲眼看见你.

42:6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
因此我厌恶自己, 在尘土和灰烬中懊悔. ”

42:7 And then after Yahweh spoke these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath has been kindled against you and against the two of your friends, for you have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has.
耶和华对约伯说了这些话以后, 就对提幔人以利法说: “我要向你和你的两个朋友生气, 因为你们讲论我, 不如我的仆人约伯说的对.

42:8 So then, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will pray for you, for I will certainly accept his prayer, so that it will not be done with you according to your folly, for you have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has.”
现在你们要为自己取七头公牛,七只公羊, 到我的仆人约伯那里去, 为你们献上燔祭, 我的仆人约伯就替你们祷告; 我悦纳他的祷告, 就不按照你们的愚昧待你们. 你们讲论我, 不如我的仆人约伯说的对. ”

42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did just as Yahweh had told them, and Yahweh accepted Job’s prayer.
于是提幔人以利法,书亚人比勒达,拿玛人琐法, 照着耶和华吩咐他们的去行, 耶和华就悦纳约伯的祷告.

约伯替他的朋友祷告, 耶和华就恢复约伯原来的景况, 还照约伯以前所有的一切加倍赐给他.

42:11 So all his brothers and all his sisters and all those who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house and showed sympathy to him and comforted him for all the disaster that Yahweh had brought upon him. Then each one gave to him one piece of money, and each one gave to him one ornamental ring of gold.
约伯的众兄弟姊妹和以前认识的人都来见他, 在他家里与他一同吃饭, 又因耶和华降予他的一切灾祸都对他表同情, 安慰他, 每人送他一块银子和一个金环.

42:12 So Yahweh blessed Job’s latter days more than his beginning. Thus he had fourteen thousand sheep and goats and six thousand camels and a thousand pair of oxen and a thousand female donkeys.
这样, 耶和华后来赐给约伯的福比先前更多: 他有一万四千只羊,六千匹骆驼,一千对牛,一千头母驴.

42:13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
他也有七个儿子和三个女儿.

42:14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah and the name of the second Keziah and the name of the third Qeren-Happuk.
他给长女起名叫耶米玛, 次女名叫基洗亚, 三女名叫基连．哈朴.

42:15 And beautiful women were not found in all the land like Job’s daughters, and their father gave to them an inheritance in the midst of their brothers.
在那全地中, 找不到像约伯女儿那么美貌的妇女. 她们的父亲在她们兄弟中间把产业分给她们.

42:16 And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons and his grandsons for four generations.
此后, 约伯又活了一百四十年, 得见他的儿孙到四代.

42:17 Then Job died old and full of days.
这样, 约伯年纪老迈, 寿终而死.

我的舌头要述说你的公义, 终日赞美你.

“耶和华啊! 求你使我知道我的结局, 我的寿数有多少, 使我知道我的生命多么短促.

你使我的日子窄如手掌, 我的一生在你面前如同无有; 各人站得最稳的时候, 也只不过是一口气. (细拉)

39:12 Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, and listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my tears. For I am an alien with you, a sojourner like all my ancestors.
耶和华啊! 求你垂听我的祷告, 留心听我的呼求; 我流泪, 求你不要缄默; 因为我在你面前是客旅, 是寄居的, 像我所有的祖先一样.

39:13 Look away from me that I may be cheerful, before I depart and I am no more.
求你不要怒视我, 使我在去而不返之先, 可以喜乐. ”

耶和华我的神啊! 你所行的奇事, 并你向我们所怀的意念很多, 没有人可以和你相比; 如果我要述说陈明, 也多到不能胜数.

耶和华啊! 求你开恩搭救我; 耶和华啊! 求你快来帮助我.

你曾亲手把列国赶出去, 却栽培了我们的列祖; 你曾苦待众民, 却使我们的列祖昌盛.

44:20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or had spread out our hands in prayer to a foreign god,
如果我们忘记了我们神的名, 或是向别神伸手祷告;

44:21 would not God discover this, for he knows the secrets of the heart?
神不会查究这事吗? 因为他知道人心的隐秘.

44:22 Rather, on account of you we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.
为你的缘故, 我们终日被置于死地; 人看我们如同将宰的羊.

44:23 Wake up! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Awake! Do not reject forever.

44:24 Why do you hide your face? Have you forgotten our misery and our oppression?

73:26 My flesh and heart failed, but God is the strength of my heart and my reward forever.
我的肉身和我的内心虽然渐渐衰弱, 神却永远是我心里的磐石, 是我的业分.

73:27 For indeed, those distancing themselves from you will be ruined. You destroy each who abandons you for harlotry.
看哪! 远离你的, 必定灭亡; 凡是对你不贞的, 你都要灭绝.

73:28 But as for me, the approach to God is for my good. I have set the Lord Yahweh as my refuge, in order to tell all your works.
对我来说, 亲近神是美好的, 我以主耶和华为我的避难所; 我要述说你的一切作为.

78:2 I will offer a parable with my mouth. I will pour out riddles from long ago,
我要开口用比喻, 把古时隐秘的事说出来,

78:3 that we have heard and known, and our ancestors have told us.
就是我们所听过所知道的, 也是我们的列祖告诉我们的,

78:4 We will not hide them from their children, telling the next generation the praises of Yahweh, and his power and his wonders that he has done.
我们不把这些事向他们的子孙隐瞒, 却要把耶和华应得的赞美,他的能力, 和他所行的奇事, 都向后代的人述说.

78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children,
他在雅各设立法度, 在以色列中制订律法, 就是他吩咐我们的列祖, 去教训他们的子孙的,

78:6 so that the next generation might know— children yet to be born— that they might rise up and tell their children,

78:11 They also forgot his deeds, and his wonders that he had shown them.

78:16 And he brought streams out of the rock and caused water to flow down like rivers.

78:20 Yes, he struck the rock and water flowed and streams gushed out, but can he also give food or provide meat for his people?”
他虽曾击打磐石, 使水涌出来, 好像江河泛滥, 他还能赐粮食吗? 他还能为自己的子民预备肉食吗? ”

78:31 the anger of God rose against them, and he killed some of the stoutest of them, even the young men of Israel he caused to bow down in death.
神的怒气就向他们发作, 杀了他们中间最肥壮的人, 击倒了以色列的年轻人.

78:32 In spite of all this they sinned further and did not believe his wonders.

78:33 And he consumed their days with futility their years with terror.
所以神使他们的日子在虚空中消逝, 使他们的岁月在惊恐中完结.

78:34 When he killed some of them, then they sought him, and repented and earnestly sought God.
神击杀他们的时候, 他们就寻求他; 他们回转过来, 切切求问神.

78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and God Most High their redeemer.
他们也想起神是他们的磐石, 至高的神是他们的救赎主.

78:36 But they enticed him with their mouth and lied to him with their tongue.
但他们仍然用口欺骗他, 用舌头向他说谎.

78:37 For their heart was not steadfast with him, nor were they faithful to his covenant.
他们的心对他不坚定, 也不忠于和他所立的约.

78:38 But he was compassionate; he pardoned their guilt and did not destroy them. And many times he turned back his anger and did not stir up all his wrath,
他却有怜悯, 赦免罪孽, 没有把他们灭绝, 并且多次抑制自己的怒气, 没有完全宣泄他的烈怒.

78:39 for he remembered that they were flesh, a passing wind that does not return.
他顾念他们不过是人, 是一阵吹去不再返回的风.

78:40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and vexed him in the wasteland!
他们多少次在旷野悖逆他, 在沙漠使他担忧;

78:41 So they again tested God and distressed the Holy One of Israel.

你们要因我的责备回转, 我就把我的心意(“心意”或译: “灵”)向你们倾吐, 把我的话指示你们.

Ecclesiastes (传道书)

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 1

1:1 The words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
以下是传道者, 就是在耶路撒冷作王,大卫的儿子所说的话.

1:2 “Vanity of vanities!” says the Teacher, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!”
传道者说: 虚空的虚空. 虚空的虚空, 一切都是虚空.

1:3 What does a person gain in all his toil with which he toils under the sun?
人的一切劳碌, 就是他在日光之下的劳碌, 对自己有什么益处呢?

1:4 A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth stands forever.
一代过去, 一代又来, 地却永远存在.

1:5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down; to its place it hurries, and there it rises again.
太阳升起, 太阳落下, 匆忙回到它上升之处.

1:6 The wind goes to the south and goes around to the north; around and around it goes, and on its circuit the wind returns.
风向南刮, 又往北转, 循环周行, 旋转不息.

1:7 All the streams flow to the sea, but the sea is never full; to the place where the streams flow, there they continue to flow.
江河向海里流, 海却不满溢; 江河之水归回本源, 循环流转.

1:8 All things toil continuously; no one can ever finish describing this. The eye is never satisfied with seeing, and the ear is never filled with hearing.
万事都令人厌倦, 人说, 说不尽; 眼看, 看不饱; 耳听, 听不足.

1:9 What has been—it is what will be; what has been done—it is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.
已有的事必再有, 作过的事必再作; 日光之下并无新事.

1:10 There is a thing of which it is said, “Look at this! This is new!” But it already existed in ages past before us.
有什么事人可以说: “看啊! 这是新的”? 其实, 很久之前已经有了, 在我们之前早就有了.

1:11 There is neither remembrance of former generations, nor will there be remembrance of future generations.
以前的事, 无人记念; 将来的事, 后来的人也不追忆.

1:12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
那时, 我传道者在耶路撒冷作以色列的王.

1:13 I applied my mind to seek and to search by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. It is a grievous task God has given to humans.
我曾用智慧专心寻求查究天下所发生的一切事; 原来神给予世人的, 是劳苦的担子, 叫他们为此烦恼.

1:14 I saw all the works that are done under the sun. Look! Everything is vanity and chasing wind.
我看过日光之下所发生的一切事, 不料, 一切都是虚空, 都是捕风.

1:15 What is twisted cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted.
弯曲的, 不能弄直; 缺少的, 不能数算.

1:16 I said to myself, “Look! I have become great and have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has preceded me over Jerusalem. I have acquired a great deal of wisdom and knowledge.”
我自己心里说: “我得了极大的智慧, 胜过所有在我以前统治耶路撒冷的人; 我见识了许多智慧与知识. ”

1:17 So I dedicated myself to learn about wisdom and to learn about delusion and folly. However, I discovered that this also is chasing wind.
我又专心究察智慧和知识, 狂妄和愚昧, 才知道这也是捕风.

1:18 For in much wisdom is much frustration, and whoever increases knowledge increases sorrow.
因为多有智慧, 就多有烦恼; 加增知识, 就加增痛苦.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 2

2:1 I said to myself, “Come! I will test pleasure to see whether it is worthwhile.” But look, “This also is vanity!”
我自己心里说: “来吧, 我用享乐试试你, 让你看看有什么好处. ”想不到, 这也是虚空.

2:2 I said of laughter, “It is folly!” and of pleasure, “What does it accomplish?”
对嬉笑, 我说: “那是狂妄”; 对享乐, 我说: “这有什么作用呢? ”

2:3 I also explored the effects of indulging my flesh with wine. My mind guiding me with wisdom, I investigated folly so that I might discover what is good under heaven for humans to do during the days of their lives.
我心里筹思, 怎样用酒使我的身体畅快, 又保持愚昧, 但我的内心仍由智慧引导; 直到我看明世人, 在诸天之下一生有限的年日中所行的, 对他们有益的是什么.

2:4 I accomplished great things. I built for myself houses; I planted for myself vineyards.
我大事发展: 为自己建造房屋, 栽种葡萄园,

2:5 I made for myself gardens and parks, and I planted all sorts of fruit trees in them.
修造园囿, 在园中栽种各类果树,

2:6 I made for myself pools of water from which to irrigate a grove of flourishing trees.
挖造水池, 用来浇灌培植树木的林园.

2:7 I acquired male slaves and female slaves, as well as children born in my house. I also had livestock, cattle, and flocks more than anyone who was before me in Jerusalem.
我买了仆婢, 也有生在家中的奴仆; 又拥有大群牛羊, 胜过任何比我先在耶路撒冷的人所拥有的.

2:8 I also gathered to myself silver and gold—the royal and provincial treasuries. I acquired for myself male and female singers, as well as the delight of men, voluptuous concubines.
我又为自己积蓄金银, 以及列王和各省的财宝. 我又为自己招募男女歌手, 收纳许多妃嫔, 是世人所以为乐的.

2:9 Thus, I accomplished far more than anyone who was before me in Jerusalem—indeed, my wisdom stood by me.
于是我就日渐昌大, 超过任何比我先在耶路撒冷的人; 我的智慧仍然与我同在.

2:10 I neither withheld anything from my eyes that they desired, nor did I deprive any pleasure from my heart. My heart rejoiced in all my toil, for this was my reward from all my toil.
我眼中所求的, 我都不禁止; 我心所喜欢的, 我都没抑制. 我的心因我的一切劳碌而快乐, 这就是我从一切劳碌中所得的分.

2:11 Yet when I considered all the effort which I expended and the toil with which I toiled to do, then behold, “Everything is vanity and chasing wind! There is nothing profitable under the sun!”
然后, 我省察我手所作的一切, 和我劳碌所成就的, 想不到一切都是虚空, 都是捕风, 在日光之下毫无益处.

2:12 Next, I considered wisdom, as well as delusion and folly. What can anyone do who will come after the king that has not already been done?
我转过来观察智慧,狂妄和愚昧. 王的继承人还能作什么呢? 只不过作先前作过的罢了.

2:13 I realized that wisdom has an advantage over folly, just as light has an advantage over darkness.
于是我看出智慧胜过愚昧, 如同光明胜过黑暗一样.

2:14 The wise man can see where he is walking, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also realized that both of them suffer the same fate.
智慧人的眼目明亮, 愚昧人却走在黑暗中. 我也知道同一的命运要临到这两种人身上.

2:15 So I said to myself, “If I also suffer the same fate as the fool, what advantage is my great wisdom?” So I said to myself, “This also is vanity!”
我自己心里说: “临到愚昧人身上的, 也必临到我身上; 那么, 我为什么要更有智慧呢? ”于是我心里说: “这也是虚空. ”

2:16 Certainly no one will remember the wise man or the fool in future generations. When future days come, both will have been forgotten already. How is it that the wise man dies the same as the fool?
因为智慧人和愚昧人一样, 没有人永远记念他们, 在未来的日子里, 都会被人遗忘. 可叹智慧人跟愚昧人一样, 终必死亡.

2:17 So I hated life because the work done under the sun is grievous to me. For everything is vanity and chasing wind!
因此我恨恶生命, 因为在日光之下所发生的事, 都使我厌烦. 一切都是虚空, 都是捕风.

2:18 So I hated all my toil with which I have toiled under the sun, for I must leave it behind to someone who will be after me.
我恨恶我的一切劳碌, 就是我在日光之下的劳碌, 因为我不得不把劳碌的成果留给后人.

2:19 And who knows whether he will be wise or foolish? Yet he will exercise control of all the fruit of my toil with which I toiled wisely under the sun. This also is vanity!
那人将来是智是愚, 有谁晓得呢? 可是他竟要掌管一切我劳碌得来的, 就是我在日光之下用智慧得来的. 这又是虚空.

2:20 So I began to despair of all the toil with which I toiled under the sun.
于是我转念, 对日光之下我所劳碌的一切, 心感绝望;

2:21 For although a person may toil with great wisdom and skill, he must leave his reward to someone who has not toiled for it. This also is vanity and a great calamity.
因为人用智慧,知识和技能所劳碌得来的, 却必须留给未曾劳碌的人为分. 这也是虚空, 是极大的憾事.

2:22 For what does a person receive for all his toil and in the longing of his heart with which he toils under the sun?
人的一切劳碌和操心, 就是他在日光之下所劳碌的, 对自己有什么益处呢?

2:23 All his days are painful, his labor brings grief, and his heart cannot rest at night. This also is vanity!
其实终其一生, 他的担子既痛苦又烦恼, 在夜间也不能安心. 这也是虚空.

2:24 There is nothing better for a person than to eat and drink and find delight in his toil. For I also realized that this is from the hand of God!
人最好是吃喝, 在自己的劳碌中自得其乐; 我看这也是出于神的手.

2:25 For who can eat and drink, and who can enjoy life apart from him?
离开了他(“他”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“我”; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译), 谁能有吃的呢? 谁能享乐呢?

2:26 For to the person who is good in his eyes, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and heaping up only to give it to him who is pleasing to him. This also is vanity and chasing wind!
神把智慧,知识和喜乐赐给他所喜悦的人, 却使罪人作收集和积聚的差事, 把所得的归给神所喜悦的人. 这也是虚空, 也是捕风.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 3

3:1 For everything there is an appointed time, a time for every matter under heaven:
万事都有定期, 天下万务都有定时:

3:2 a time to bear and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to root up what is planted;
生有时, 死有时; 栽种有时, 拔出所种的也有时;

3:3 a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up;
杀戮有时, 医治有时; 拆毁有时, 建造有时;

3:4 a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance;
哭有时, 笑有时; 哀恸有时, 踊跃有时;

3:5 a time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;

3:6 a time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to throw away;
寻找有时, 舍弃有时; 保存有时, 拋弃有时;

3:7 a time to tear and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak;
撕裂有时, 缝补有时; 静默有时, 讲话有时;

3:8 a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.
爱有时, 恨有时; 战争有时, 和平有时.

3:9 What does the worker gain in his toil?
作工的人在自己的劳碌上得到什么益处呢?

3:10 I have seen the busyness God gives to humans to preoccupy them.
我看神给予世人的担子, 是要他们为此烦恼.

3:11 He has made everything suitable in its time. He also has put the past in their hearts, yet no one can grasp what God does from the beginning to the end.
他使万事各按其时, 成为美好; 他又把永恒的意识放在人的心里; 虽然这样, 人还是不能察觉神自始至终的作为.

3:12 So I realized that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy themselves during their lives.
我晓得人生最好是寻乐享福,

3:13 And for anyone to eat and drink, that is, to enjoy the fruit of all his toil, this also is a gift of God.
人人有吃有喝, 在自己的一切劳碌中自得其乐; 这就是神的恩赐.

3:14 I know everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, and nothing can be taken from it, for God so acts that humans might stand in awe before him.
我知道神所作的一切, 都必永存, 无可增添, 无可减少; 神这样作, 为要使人在他面前存敬畏的心.

3:15 What is—it already was, and what will be—it already is, for God will do what he has done.
现在有的, 先前就有; 将来有的, 早已有了; 因为神使已过的事重新出现(“神使已过的事重新出现”原文作“神寻回已过的事”).

3:16 I saw something else under the sun: instead of justice there was evil; instead of righteousness there was wickedness.
我在日光之下又看见: 审判的地方有奸恶, 维护公义的地方也有奸恶.

3:17 So I said to myself, “God will surely judge the righteous and the wicked, for he has appointed a time of judgment for every deed and every work.”
我自己心里说: “神必审判义人和恶人, 因为各样事务,各样工作都有定时. ”

3:18 I said to myself concerning humans, “God sifts them in order to show them that they are like beasts.”
我自己心里说: “至于世人, 神要试验他们, 使他们看见自己与牲畜无异.

3:19 For the fate of humans and the fate of the beast is the same. The death of the one is like the death of the other, for both are mortal. Man has no advantage over the beast, for both are fleeting.
因为世人所遭遇的与牲畜所遭遇的, 都是一样: 这个怎样死, 那个也怎样死, 两者的气息都是一样, 所以人并不胜于牲畜. 一切都是虚空.

3:20 Both go to one place—both came from dust and both return to dust.
大家都到一个地方去, 都出于尘土, 也都归回尘土.

3:21 For no one knows whether the spirit of a human ascends to heaven and whether the spirit of the beast descends to the ground!
有谁知道人的灵是往上升, 牲畜的魂(“魂”的原文与“灵”〔3:21〕和“气息”〔3:19〕相同)是下降而入地呢? ”

3:22 So I concluded that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy the fruit of his labor, for this is his lot in life. For no one knows what will happen in the future.
因此我看人最好是在自己所作的事上自得其乐, 因为这也是他的分; 谁能使他看见他自己死后的事呢?

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 4

4:1 I looked again, and I saw all the oppression that occurs under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed— no one comforts them! Those who oppress them are powerful— no one can comfort them!
我又看见日光之下所发生一切欺压的事: 受欺压的流泪, 却无人安慰他们; 欺压他们的, 手里握着权柄, 因此无人安慰受欺压的.

4:2 So I deemed the dead who have already died more fortunate than the living who are still alive.
我赞叹那已死的人, 胜过那还活着的人.

4:3 But better off than both of them is the one who has not yet been born and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.
那还没生下来的, 就是还没看过日光之下所行的恶事的, 比这两种人更有福.

4:4 I also realized that all of the toil and all of the skillful work that is done—it is envy between one man and another. This also is vanity and chasing wind!
我看见各样的劳碌和各样精巧的工作, 都是出于人与人彼此的竞争. 这也是虚空, 也是捕风.

4:5 The fool refuses to work with his hands, so he has nothing to eat except his own skin!
愚昧人抱着手, 吃自己的肉.

4:6 Better is one handful with peace than two fists full with toil and chasing wind.
一掌盛满安宁, 胜过两手抓满劳碌捕风.

4:7 I turned again and saw another vanity under the sun.
我又看到日光之下有一件虚空的事.

4:8 Sometimes a man is all alone with no companion; he also has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eye is not satisfied with wealth. He laments, “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity—it is an unhappy business!
有人孤单无依, 没有儿子, 没有兄弟, 仍劳碌不休, 眼目也不以自己的财富为足. 他问: “我劳劳碌碌, 刻薄自己不去享受, 是为谁呢? ”这也是虚空, 是劳苦的担子.

4:9 Two are better than the one, for they enjoy a better reward for their toil.
二人胜过一人, 因为他们一起的劳碌有美好的酬报.

4:10 For if one falls, his companion may help him up. But pity the one who falls and there is no one to help him up.
如果一个跌倒, 另一个可以把他的同伴扶起来. 但一人孤身跌倒, 没有别人把他扶起来, 他就悲惨了.

4:11 Also if two lie together, they can keep each other warm. But how can one person be warm?
还有, 二人同睡, 就都暖和; 一人独睡, 怎能暖和呢?

4:12 Although an assailant may overpower one person, two may withstand him. A threefold cord is not easily broken!
有人能制伏孤身一人, 如果有二人就挡得住他. 三股合成的绳子, 不容易扯断.

4:13 A poor but wise youth is better than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to receive advice.
贫穷但有智慧的年轻人, 胜过年老不再纳谏的愚昧王.

4:14 For he came out of the prison house to reign, since he was born poor in his kingdom.
虽然他是从监狱出来, 在自己的国中, 又是出身贫寒, 却起来作王.

4:15 I saw all the living who move about under the sun with the youth; the second who will stand in his place.
我看见所有在日光之下行走的活人, 都随从那取代老王的年轻人.

4:16 There is no end to all the people, to all who were before him. Yet the later generation will not rejoice in him, for this also is vanity and chasing wind!
所有的人民, 就是他所统治的人民, 多得无数; 然而后来的人却不喜欢他. 这实在也是虚空, 也是捕风.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 5

5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil.
你到神的殿, 脚步要谨慎; 近前聆听, 胜于愚昧人献祭, 因为他们不知道所作的是恶的.

5:2 Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be quick to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore, let your words be few.
在神面前不可冒失开口, 心急发言, 因为神在天上, 你在地上, 所以你的言语要寡少.

5:3 For a dream comes with many cares, and the voice of a fool with many words.
挂虑多就令人作梦, 言语多就显出愚昧.

5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, for he takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill what you vow!
你向神许了愿, 就不可迟迟不还, 因为他不喜悦愚昧人; 所许的愿必须偿还.

5:5 It is better that you not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it.
许愿不还, 不如不许.

5:6 Do not let your mouth lead your flesh into sin, and do not tell the messenger that it was a mistake. Why anger God at your words, so that he destroys the work of your hands?
不可任你的口把自己陷于罪恶, 也不可在使者前面说是许错了. 何必使神因你的声音发怒, 破坏你手中的工作呢?

5:7 For with many dreams come vanities and numerous words. Therefore, fear God!
多梦和多话, 都是虚空的, 你只要敬畏神.

5:8 Do not be surprised if you see the poor being oppressed with violence or do not see justice and righteousness in the province. For one official is watched by a higher official, and there are even higher officials over them!
如果你在一省之中, 看到穷人遭受欺压, 公正和公义被夺去, 也不必因此惊讶, 因为高位者之上有较高的照应, 在他们之上还有更高的.

5:9 The produce of the land is exploited by everyone; even the king profits from the field of the poor!
各人都从土地得着利益, 就是君王也得到田地的供应.

5:10 Whoever loves money is not satisfied with money, and whoever loves wealth is not satisfied with profit. This also is vanity!
贪爱银子的, 不因有银子满足; 贪爱财富的, 也不因得利知足. 这也是虚空.

5:11 When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase. So its owner gains nothing, except to see his wealth before it is spent.
财物增加, 吃用的人也增加, 物主除了眼看以外, 还有什么益处呢?

5:12 The sleep of the laborer is pleasant, whether he eats little or much, but the wealth of the rich man does not allow him to rest.
劳力的人无论吃多吃少, 都睡得甜; 财主的丰足, 却不容他安睡.

5:13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded by its owner to his harm.
我看见日光之下有一令人痛心的憾事, 就是财主积聚财富, 反受其害.

5:14 That wealth was lost in a bad venture. Although he has borne a child, he has nothing to leave to him.
遭遇祸患, 财富就尽失; 他即使生了儿子, 也没有什么留给他.

5:15 Just as he came from his mother’s womb naked, he will depart just as he came; he will take nothing with him for his toil.
他怎样从母胎赤身而来, 也必怎样赤身而去; 在劳碌中得来的, 他的手也带不走什么.

5:16 This also is a grievous illness. Exactly as he came, so he will go. What profit does he gain for all his toil for the wind?
他怎样来, 也要怎样去, 这也是令人痛心的憾事; 他为风劳碌, 有什么益处呢?

5:17 Also, he eats in darkness all his days; he is frustrated in much sickness and resentment.
他终生在黑暗中吃喝, 多有愁烦,疾病与愤怨.

5:18 Look! I have discovered what is good and fitting: to eat and to drink and to enjoy all the fruit of the toil with which one toils under the sun during the number of the days of his life that God gives to him—for this is his lot.
我认为既善又美的, 就是人在神所赐给他一生有限的年日中吃喝, 享受他在日光之下劳碌所得的一切, 因为这是他的分.

5:19 This indeed is a gift of God: everyone to whom God gives wealth and possessions, he also empowers him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in the fruit of his toil.
蒙神赐予财富与资产的人, 神都使他能够享用, 并取自己的分, 在劳碌中自得其乐, 这是神的恩赐.

5:20 For he does not remember the brief days of his life, for God keeps his heart preoccupied with enjoyment of life.
他不多思念自己一生的年日, 因为神使喜乐充满他的心.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 6

6:1 Here is another misfortune that I have seen under the sun, and it is prevalent among humankind.
我看见日光之下有一件憾事, 重压在世人身上.

6:2 God gives a man wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; yet God does not enable him to enjoy it—instead someone else ends up enjoying it. This is vanity—indeed, it is a grievous ill!
蒙神赐予财富,资产和荣誉的人, 心里所愿的, 都一无所缺, 可是神使他无力享用, 反而有外人来享用. 这是虚空, 也是祸患.

6:3 Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years so that the days of his years are many, if his heart is not satisfied with his prosperity and he does not receive a proper burial, I deem the stillborn better than him.
人如果生下百子, 活了许多岁数, 年日长久, 但是心里不因美物满足, 又得不到安葬, 我以为流产的胎比他还好.

6:4 For he comes into vanity and departs into darkness, and his name is shrouded in darkness.
因为这胎虚虚而来, 暗暗而去, 黑暗把他的名字遮蔽了.

6:5 He has neither seen nor known the sun, yet he has more rest than him.
这胎既看不见天日, 又一无所知, 就比那人更得安息.

6:6 Even if a man lives a thousand years twice, if he does not enjoy prosperity, both suffer the same fate!
那人即使活了一千年, 再活一千年, 也享受不到什么; 他们两者不是都归一个地方吗?

6:7 All of a man’s toil is for his mouth— yet his appetite is never satisfied.
人的一切劳碌都为口腹, 他的心却还是填不满.

6:8 So do the wise really have an advantage over fools? Can the poor really gain anything by knowing how to act in front of others?
智慧人比愚昧人有什么长处呢? 穷人在众人面前知道怎样行事为人, 又有什么长处呢?

6:9 Better to be content with what your eyes see than for your soul to constantly crave more. This also is vanity and chasing wind!
眼睛看见的, 胜过心中想望的. 这也是虚空, 也是捕风.

6:10 Whatever is—it was already determined, what will be—it has already been decided. As for man, he cannot argue against what is more powerful than him.
已经存在的, 早已有了名称; 大家都知道人是怎样的; 人绝对无法与比自己强的抗辩.

6:11 Increasing words only multiplies futility, how does that profit anyone?
因为话语增多, 虚空也增多, 这对人有什么益处呢?

6:12 For who knows what is good for a man in his life during the few days of his fleeting life, which are fleeting as a shadow? For who can tell anyone what will happen in the future under the sun?
在虚空,消逝如影的人生, 短暂的日子里, 有谁知道什么是对人有益处呢? 谁能告诉人他死后在日光之下会发生什么事呢?

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 7

7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death is better than the day of one’s birth.
美名优于美好的膏油, 死亡的日子胜过诞生的日子.

7:2 Better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for death is the end of every person, and the living should take it to his heart.
往服丧之家, 比往宴乐之家还好, 因为死是人人的结局, 活人要把这事放在心上.

7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of countenance the heart is made good.
忧愁胜于嬉笑, 因为面带愁容, 能使内心得着好处.

7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
智慧人的心在服丧之家, 愚昧人的心在欢乐之家.

7:5 Better to listen to the rebuke of the wise than for a man to listen to the song of fools.
听智慧人的斥责, 胜过听愚昧人的歌唱.

7:6 Like the sound of thorns under a pot, so also the laughter of fools. This also is vanity!
愚昧人的笑声, 就像锅底下荆棘的爆声一样. 这也是虚空.

7:7 Surely oppression makes a fool of the wise, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
勒索会使智慧人变为愚妄, 贿赂能败坏人心.

7:8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning; better to be slow to anger than hot-headed.
事情的结局胜于开端, 存心忍耐的, 胜过居心骄傲的.

7:9 Do not be quick in your spirit to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.
你心里不要轻易动怒, 因为恼怒留在愚昧人的胸怀中.

7:10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
你不要说: “为什么从前的日子胜过现在的呢? ”你这样问, 不是出于智慧.

7:11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance; it benefits the living.
智慧与产业都是好的, 对得见天日的人是有益的.

7:12 For wisdom offers protection like money offers protection. But knowledge has an advantage—wisdom restores life to its possessor.
因为受智慧的庇护, 如同受银子的庇护. 唯有智慧能保全智慧人的生命, 这就是知识的益处.

7:13 Consider the work of God. For who is able to make straight what he made crooked?
要观察神的作为, 因为他所屈曲的, 谁能弄直呢?

7:14 In the day of prosperity, rejoice! But in the day of adversity, consider! For God made one in place of another so that mortals cannot find out what will happen in the future.
在亨通的日子, 应当享福; 遭遇患难的时候, 就当省察. 神使这两样并存, 为了叫人查不出未来的事.

7:15 I have seen all these things in my vain life: Sometimes a righteous man perishes in spite of his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked man lives a long life in spite of his evil.
在我虚空的日子里, 我见过这两件事: 有义人行义反而灭亡, 有恶人行恶倒享长寿.

7:16 Do not be excessively righteous, and do not act excessively wise, lest you destroy yourself.
不要过分公义, 也不要太过有智慧, 何必自取灭亡呢?

7:17 Do not act excessively wicked, and do not be a fool, lest you die before your time.
不要过分作恶, 也不要作愚昧人, 何必时候未到就死?

7:18 It is good to take hold of the one and also must not let go of the other; for whoever fears God will hold both of them secure.
持守这个是好的, 那个也不要放松, 因为敬畏神的人, 都必避免这两个极端.

7:19 Wisdom gives more strength to the wise than ten rulers who are in the city.
智慧使智慧人比城中十个官长更有能力.

7:20 Surely there is no one righteous on the earth who continually does good and never sins.
世上实在没有一个行善而不犯罪的义人.

7:21 Do not pay attention to everything people say, lest you hear your own servant curse you.
人所说的一切话, 都不要放在心上, 因你可能听见仆人咒骂你.

7:22 For your heart knows that you also have cursed others many times.
其实你心里明白, 自己也曾多次咒骂别人.

7:23 All this I have tested with wisdom. I said, “I will be wise!” but it was beyond my grasp.
这一切我都用智慧试验过. 我说: “我要得智慧”, 智慧却远离我.

7:24 Whatever is—it is far beyond comprehension. Who can discover it?
那离得远又极深奥的, 谁能找到呢?

7:25 I set my mind to try to seek wisdom and the plan, and to know that wickedness is foolishness and that folly is delusion.
我转念, 一心去了解,考察并寻觅智慧和事理, 又要知道愚蒙是邪恶的, 狂妄是愚昧的.

7:26 I myself found that more bitter than death is the woman who is a trap, whose heart is a snare, and whose hands are bonds. The one who pleases God escapes from her, but the sinner is caught by her.
我发现一个比死亡更恶毒的妇人, 她有如罗网, 心如陷阱, 手如锁链. 蒙神喜悦的人得以摆脱她, 罪人却被她缠住.

7:27 “Look! I found this,” said the Teacher, “while trying to find how the plan fits together.
传道者说: “看哪! 我发现了这件事, 我一再揣摩, 要找出事情的道理.

7:28 What my heart sought, I did not find. Although I found one righteous man among one thousand, I did not find one upright woman among all these.
我的心仍在寻觅, 却还找不到, 就是在一千个男人中, 我找到一个正直人, 但在所有的女人中, 连一个也找不到.

7:29 Look! This alone I found: God made mankind upright, but they have devised many schemes.”
我所明白的, 只有这件事: 神造人原是正直的, 他们却找出许多巧计. ”

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 8

8:1 Who is like the sage? Who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
谁像智慧人, 谁知道事情的解释呢? 人的智慧使他容光焕发, 使他脸上的戾气转消.

8:2 Keep the command of the king because of your oath to God.
我劝你, 因为你指着神起了誓, 你就要遵守王的命令.

8:3 Do not be terrified of his presence! Go at once and do not delay when a matter is unpleasant, for he can do anything that he desires.
不要轻率离开王的面前, 也不要参与恶事, 因为王可以随己意作任何事.

8:4 Since the word of the king is supreme, no one can say to him, “What are you doing?”
既然王的话有权柄, 谁敢问他: “你在作什么? ”

8:5 Whoever obeys his command will not suffer disaster. The wise mind knows the proper time and the right procedure.
遵守命令的, 必不遭受灾祸; 智慧人的心, 晓得时机, 懂得判断.

8:6 For there is a proper time and right procedure for every matter, even though the trouble of man weighs heavy upon him.
各样事务成就, 都有合宜的时机和定局, 尽管人的灾祸重压在自己身上.

8:7 Surely no one knows what will be, so who can tell anyone what will happen?
他不晓得未来的事, 将来要发生什么, 谁能告诉他呢?

8:8 Just as no one can control the wind to restrain the wind, so also no one can control the day of his death. Just as no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not deliver the wicked.
没有人能支配风(“风”或译: “生命”), 把它留住; 没有人能控制死期; 战争之时, 没有人能免役; 邪恶救不了行邪恶的人.

8:9 I saw all this as I applied my heart to all the deeds done under the sun: sometimes those in authority harm others.
我看见了这一切, 又专心查究在日光之下所发生的一切事. 有这样的一个时候: 有人管辖别人, 叫他受害.

8:10 Meanwhile, I saw the wicked being honorably buried, but those who came and went from the holy place were forgotten in the city, even though they had done so. This also is vanity!
然后我看见恶人得以埋葬, 他们生前在圣地往来, 而在他们这样行的城中, 竟被人遗忘. 这也是虚空! (全节或译: “然后我看见恶人得以埋葬, 他们生前在圣地往来, 并且在他们这样行的城中, 受人称赞. 这也是虚空! ”或“然后我看见恶人得以埋葬, 归入坟墓; 行正直的人却与圣地隔离, 在城中被人遗忘. 这也是虚空! ”)

8:11 Because sentence against an evil deed is not carried out quickly, the heart of humans fills up within them to do evil.
对恶行已判定的刑罚迟迟没有执行, 世人的心就充满行恶的意图.

8:12 Although the sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I also know that it will be good for those who fear God—because they fear his presence.
罪人既然作恶百次, 还享长寿, 那么我知道敬畏神的人, 就是在他面前存敬畏的心的, 必享福乐.

8:13 But it will not go well with the wicked, and they will not prolong their days, like the shadow; because there is no fearing God’s presence.
恶人却没有福乐, 也得不到长寿; 他好像影子的短暂, 因为他在神面前不存敬畏的心.

8:14 There is a vanity that happens on earth: sometimes the righteous suffer what the wicked deserve, and sometimes the wicked receive what the righteous deserve. I said, “This also is vanity!”
在世上有一件虚空的事, 就是义人照恶人所行的受报应, 恶人照义人所行的得报偿. 我说, 这也是虚空.

8:15 So I recommend enjoyment. For there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat and to drink and to rejoice. This will accompany him in his toil the days of his life that God gives to him under the sun.
于是我称颂快乐, 因为人在日光之下最好是吃喝快乐. 这是人在日光之下, 神赐给他一生的年日里, 从自己劳碌中所得的享受.

8:16 I applied my mind to know wisdom and to understand the business that is done on earth—how neither day nor night one’s eyes see sleep.
我专心认识智慧, 察看世上的劳碌──有人昼夜不眠──

8:17 Then I saw all the work of God—man is not able to discover the work that is done under the sun. Although man may toil in seeking, he cannot find it. Even if a wise man claims that he knows it, he cannot find it.
于是我看见了神的一切作为, 知道在日光之下所发生的事, 人不能查明; 尽管人劳碌寻查, 总是查不出来; 即使智慧人以为知道了, 还是查不出来.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 9

9:1 So all this I laid to my heart, and I concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in the hand of God. So no one knows anything that will come to them, whether it will be love or hatred.
我留心这一切事, 并加以阐明: 就是义人,智慧人和他们所作的, 都在神手里. 临到他们的一切, 无论是爱是恨, 人都不领悟.

9:2 The same fate comes to everyone: to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the wicked, to the clean and to the unclean, to those who sacrifice and to those who do not sacrifice. As with the good man, so also to the sinner; as with those who swear an oath, so also those who fear oaths.
众人的命运都是一样的: 义人与恶人,好人与坏人,洁净的与不洁净的,献祭的与不献祭的, 所遭遇的都是一样的; 好人怎样, 罪人也怎样; 起誓的怎样, 怕起誓的也怎样.

9:3 This is the injustice that is done under the sun: the same fate comes to everyone. Also the hearts of humans are full of evil; delusion is in their hearts during their lives, and then they die.
在日光之下所发生的一切事, 有一件令人遗憾的, 就是众人的命运都是一样的, 并且世人的心充满邪恶, 一生心怀狂妄, 后来都归到死人那里去.

9:4 Whoever is joined to all the living has hope. After all, even a live dog is better than a dead lion!
凡有生命的(“凡有生命的”原文作“凡与所有活人有关联的”), 就有盼望, 因为活狗比死狮更好.

9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything. They no longer have a reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten.
活人还知道自己必死, 死人却一无所知, 而且再得不到酬劳, 他们也被遗忘.

9:6 What they loved and hated, as well as what they desired, has already perished. They no longer have any share in what is done under the sun.
他们的爱, 他们的恨, 他们的嫉妒, 都早已消失了, 在日光之下所发生的一切事, 永远也没有他们的分了.

9:7 Go—eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart! For God already has approved your deeds.
你只管快快乐乐地去吃你的饭, 怀着高兴的心去喝你的酒, 因为神已经悦纳了你所作的.

9:8 Always be clothed in white garments, and never let your head lack oil!
你当经常穿着白色的衣袍, 头上也不要缺少膏油.

9:9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which he gives you under the sun, because this is your lot in life and in the toil with which you toil under the sun.
在你一生虚空的年日中, 就是神在日光之下赐你虚空的年日中, 你要和你所爱的妻子享受人生, 因为那是你一生在日光之下从劳碌中所得的分.

9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do—do it with all your might; for in Sheol—where you are going—no one works, plans, knows, or thinks about anything.
凡是你手可作的, 都当尽力去作; 因为在你所要去的阴间里, 既没有工作, 又没有筹谋; 没有知识, 也没有智慧.

9:11 I looked again and saw under the sun that the race does not belong to the swift, the battle does not belong to the mighty, food does not belong to the wise, wealth does not belong to the intelligent, and success does not belong to the skillful, for time and chance befalls all of them.
我又看见在日光之下, 跑得快的未必得奖, 勇士未必战胜, 智慧的未必得粮食, 精明的未必致富, 博学的未必得人赏识, 因为时机和际遇左右众人.

9:12 For man does not know his time. Just as fish are caught in a cruel net and like birds who are seized in a snare, so also humans are ensnared at a cruel time when it falls suddenly upon them.
原来人并不知道自己的时机, 正像鱼被恶网圈住, 鸟被网罗捉住, 险恶的时机忽然临到世人身上的时候, 世人也照样陷在其中.

9:13 I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me.
在日光之下, 我又看见一样智慧, 觉得很有意义:

9:14 There was a small city with few people in it. A great king came and besieged it, building great siege works against it.
有一座小城, 人数不多; 有一个大君王来进攻, 把它包围, 建造巨大的高垒攻城.

9:15 Now, a poor wise man was found in it, and he delivered the city by his wisdom.
城里有一个贫穷但有智慧的人, 用他的智慧救了那城. 然而, 却没有人记念那穷人.

9:16 So I concluded that wisdom is better than might, yet the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.
于是我说: “智慧胜过武力”, 但是那个穷人的智慧被藐视, 他的话也没有人听从.

9:17 The words of the wise are heard in peace more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among the fools.
听智慧人安安静静说出来的话, 胜过听管理愚昧者的人的喊叫.

9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
智慧胜于战斗的武器, 但一个罪人能破坏许多好事.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 10

10:1 Dead flies cause a bad smell and ruin the ointment of the perfumer. So also a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
几只死苍蝇能使做香料者的膏油发霉变臭, 一点点愚昧比智慧和荣誉的影响更大.

10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to his right, but the heart of the fool inclines to his left.
智慧人的心向右, 愚昧人的心偏左.

10:3 Even when the fool walks along the road, he lacks sense; he tells everyone that he is a fool.
愚昧人连走路的时候, 也显出无知; 他对每一个人表现出他是个愚昧人(“他对每一个人表现出他是个愚昧人”或译: “他称每一个人都是愚昧的”).

10:4 If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your post, for calmness can undo great offenses.
如果掌权者向你发怒, 你不要离开原位, 因为柔顺能免大过.

10:5 There is an evil I have seen under the sun— it is an error that proceeds from a ruler!
在日光之下我看见一件憾事, 好像是出于官长无意的错误,

10:6 The fool is set in many high places, but the rich sit in lowly places.
就是愚昧人得居众多高位, 富有的人却处卑位.

10:7 I have even seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the earth!
我见过奴仆骑马, 贵族却像奴仆一样在地上步行.

10:8 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. Whoever breaks through a wall, a snake will bite him.
挖陷阱的, 自己掉进去; 拆墙垣的, 有蛇来咬他.

10:9 Whoever quarries stones will be wounded by them. Whoever splits logs will be endangered by them.
采石的, 被石打伤; 劈柴的, 被柴损害.

10:10 If the ax is blunt but one does not sharpen its edge, he must exert more effort, but the advantage of wisdom is it brings success.
斧头若钝了, 还不把斧刃磨快, 就必多费力气; 智慧的好处在于助人成功.

10:11 If the snake bites before the charming, the snake charmer will not succeed.
未行法术先被蛇咬, 那么, 法术对行法术的人就毫无用处.

10:12 The wise man wins favor by the words of his mouth, but the fool is devoured by his own lips.
智慧人的口, 说出恩言; 愚昧人的嘴, 却吞灭自己.

10:13 He begins by saying what is foolish and ends by uttering what is wicked delusion.
愚昧人的话开头是愚昧, 结尾是邪恶狂妄.

10:14 The fool talks too much, for no one knows what will be. Who can tell anyone what will happen in the future?
愚昧人多言多语. 人不知道将来会有什么事, 谁能告诉他死后会发生什么事呢?

10:15 The fool is so worn out by a hard day’s work he cannot even find his way home at night.

人怕高处, 怕路上有惊吓. 杏树开花, 蚱蜢蹒跚而行, 催情果失效. 因为人归他永远的家, 哭丧的在街上游行.

你的头在你身上像迦密山; 你头上的秀发是紫黑色的; 君王的心竟给这些发绺系住了.

7:6 How beautiful you are and how pleasant, O loved one in the delights!
亲爱的啊! 使人喜悦的啊! 你多么美丽, 多么可爱.

7:7 Your stature is like the palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters.
你的身量像一棵棕树; 你的两乳如树上累累的果子.

7:8 I say, “I will climb up the palm tree; I will lay hold of its fruit clusters.” Let your breasts be pleasing like clusters of the vine and the scent of your breath like the apples.
我说: “我要爬上这棵棕树, 我要抓住它的果子. ”愿你的两乳如一挂一挂的葡萄串; 你鼻子的香气如苹果芬芳;

7:9 Your palate is like the best wine that goes down for my beloved, smoothly gliding over my lips and teeth.
你的口像美酒. 书拉密女说: “直流入我良人的口里, 轻轻流过唇齿之间. ”

7:10 I belong to my beloved, and he desires me!
我属我的良人, 他也恋慕我.

7:11 Come, my beloved, let us go out to the countryside; let us spend the night in the villages.
我的良人哪! 来吧! 让我们往田间去; 让我们在凤仙花丛中过夜吧.

7:12 Let us rise early to go to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine has budded, whether the grape blossom has opened, and whether the pomegranates are in bloom; there I will give my love to you.
我们早晨起来往葡萄园去, 去看葡萄树发芽没有, 花朵开放没有; 也看看石榴开花没有. 我在那里要把我的爱给你.

7:13 The mandrakes give off their fragrance, and over our doorway is every kind of delicious fruit; both fresh and dried fruit I have stored up for you, O my beloved.
风茄正在散发香气; 在我们的门旁有各样佳美的果子, 新的旧的都有. 我的良人哪, 这些都是我为你保存的.

Song of Solomon - Chapter 8

8:1 How I wish that you were my little brother, who nursed upon my mother’s breasts! If I met you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me!
但愿你像我的兄弟, 像吃我母亲奶的兄弟. 这样, 我在外面遇见你, 就可以吻你, 不会被人藐视.

8:2 I would surely bring you to the house of my mother, who would surely teach me; I would give you spiced wine to drink, the sweet wine of my pomegranates.
我要引领你, 领你到我母亲家里去; 从小她就教导我. 我要给你喝香酒.

8:3 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
他的左手托住我的头, 他的右手拥抱着我.

8:4 I adjure you, O maidens of Jerusalem, do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases!
耶路撒冷的众女子啊! 我恳求你们, 不要惊动他, 不要挑起他的爱情, 等它自发吧.

8:5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you; there your mother conceived you; there she who was in labor gave birth to you.
那从旷野上来, 靠在她爱人身旁的是谁呢? 我在苹果树下唤醒了你; 在那里你的母亲怀了你; 在那里生育你的为你受生产的痛苦.

8:6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death; passion is fierce as Sheol; its flashes are flashes of fire; it is a blazing flame.
求你把我放在你心上如印记, 把我带在你臂上如戳印; 因为爱情像死亡一般的坚强; 嫉妒如阴间一般的坚稳; 它的烈焰是火的烈焰, 是非常猛烈的火焰.

8:7 Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
爱情, 众水不能熄灭, 洪流不能淹没; 如果有人拿自己家里所有的财产去换取爱情, 就必被藐视.

8:8 We have a little sister, and she does not yet have any breasts. What should we do for our sister on the day when she is betrothed?
我们有一个小妹妹, 她的两乳还未发育完全; 有人来提亲的时候, 我们当为她怎样办理呢?

8:9 If she is a wall, we will adorn her with a turret of silver; but if she is a door, we will barricade her with boards of cedar.
她若是墙, 我们就要在她上面建造银塔; 她若是门, 我们就要用香柏木板围护她.

8:10 I was a wall, and my breasts were like the towers, so my betrothed viewed me with great delight.
我是墙, 我的两乳像其上的塔; 我在他的眼中像寻得安乐的人.

8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he entrusted his vineyard to the keepers; people paid a thousand silver pieces for its fruit.
所罗门在巴力．哈们有个葡萄园; 他把这葡萄园租给看守的人, 各人要为葡萄园所得的果子付一万一千四百克银子.

8:12 My own “vineyard” belongs to me; the “thousand” are for you, O Solomon, and “two hundred” for those who tend its fruit.
我自己的葡萄园却在我面前, 所罗门哪, 一万一千四百克归给你, 二千二百八十克归给那些看守果子的人.

8:13 O you who dwell in the garden, my companions are listening to your voice. Let me hear it!
你这住在园中的啊! 我的同伴都在细听你的声音; 愿你使我也听见.

8:14 Flee, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the perfumed mountains!
我的良人哪! 愿你快来, 像羚羊或小鹿, 在香草山上!

Isaiah (以赛亚书)

Isaiah - Chapter 1

1:1 The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
在乌西雅,约坦,亚哈斯和希西家作犹大王的时候, 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚看见异象, 是关于犹大和耶路撒冷的:

1:2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth, for Yahweh has spoken: “I reared children and I brought them up, but they rebelled against me.
诸天哪! 要听. 大地啊! 要留心听. 因为耶和华说: “我把孩子养育, 使他们成长, 他们却背叛了我.

1:3 An ox knows its owner and a donkey the manger of its master. Israel does not know; my people do not understand.
牛认识主人, 驴认识主人的槽; 以色列却不认识我, 我的子民不明白我. ”

1:4 Ah, sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh; they have despised the holy one of Israel. They are estranged and gone backward.
嗐! 犯罪的国, 罪孽深重的子民, 行恶的子孙, 败坏的儿女! 他们离弃了耶和华, 藐视以色列的圣者, 他们转离了他.

1:5 Why do you want to be beaten again? You continue in rebellion. The whole of the head is sick, and the whole of the heart is faint.
你们为什么屡次悖逆, 还要受责打吗? 你们整个头都受了伤, 整个心都发昏了.

1:6 From the sole of the foot and up to the head there is no health in it; bruise and sore and bleeding wound have not been cleansed, and they have not been bound up and not softened with the oil.
从脚掌到头顶, 没有一处是完全的; 尽是创伤,鞭痕和流血的伤口; 没有挤干净伤口, 没有包扎, 也没有用膏油滋润.

1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; As for your land, aliens are devouring it in your presence, and it is desolate, like devastation by foreigners.
你们的土地荒凉, 你们的城镇被火烧毁, 你们的田地, 在你们面前给外族人侵吞; 被外族人倾覆之后, 就荒凉了.

1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a shelter in a cucumber field, like a city that is besieged.
仅存的锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”), 好像葡萄园中的草棚, 瓜田里的茅屋, 被围困的城镇.

1:9 If Yahweh of hosts had not left us survivors, we would have been as few as Sodom, we would have become like Gomorrah.
若不是万军之耶和华给我们留下一些生还者, 我们早已像所多玛,蛾摩拉一样了.

1:10 Hear the word of Yahweh, rulers of Sodom! Listen to the teaching of our God, people of Gomorrah!
你们这些所多玛的官长啊! 要听耶和华的话; 你们这些蛾摩拉的人民啊! 要侧耳听我们神的教训.

1:11 What is the abundance of your sacrifices to me? says Yahweh. I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened animals and I do not delight in the blood of bulls and ram-lambs and goats.
耶和华说: “你们献上众多祭物, 对我有什么益处呢? 公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂肪, 我已经够了; 公牛,羊羔和公山羊的血, 我都不喜悦.

1:12 When you come to appear before me, who asked for this from your hand: you trampling my courts?
你们来朝见我的时候, 谁要求你们这样践踏我的院子呢?

1:13 You must not continue to bring offerings of futility, incense—it is an abomination to me; new moon and Sabbath, the calling of a convocation— I cannot endure iniquity with solemn assembly.
不要再带没有意义的供物来了, 烧献祭物的香气也是我厌恶的. 我厌烦月朔,安息日和集会; 作罪孽又守严肃会, 是我不能容忍的.

1:14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates; they have become to me like a burden, I am not able to bear them.
你们的月朔和制定的节期, 我心里恨恶; 它们都成了我的重担, 我已承担得不耐烦了.

1:15 And when you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not be listening. Your hands are full of blood.
所以你们张开双手的时候, 我必掩眼不看你们; 即使你们多多祷告, 我也不听; 你们的手都沾满血腥.

1:16 Wash! Make yourselves clean! Remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes! Cease to do evil!
你们要洗涤自己, 洁净自己; 从我眼前除掉你们的恶行; 要停止作恶,

1:17 Learn to do good! Seek justice! Rescue the oppressed! Defend the orphan! Plead for the widow!
学习行善, 寻求公平, 指责残暴的人, 替孤儿伸冤, 为寡妇辨屈. ”

1:18 “Come now, and let us argue,” says Yahweh. “Even though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; even though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
耶和华说: “你们来, 我们彼此辩论; 你们的罪虽像朱红, 必变成雪白; 虽红如丹颜, 必白如羊毛.

1:19 If you are willing and you are obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
你们若愿意听从, 就必得吃地上的美物;

1:20 But if you refuse and you rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
你们若不听从, 反而悖逆, 就必被刀剑吞灭. ”这是耶和华亲口说的.

1:21 How has a faithful city become like a whore? Full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
那忠贞的城, 怎么会变成妓女! 她从前充满公平, 有公义居在其中, 现在却有凶手居住.

1:22 Your silver has become as dross; Your wine is diluted with waters.
你的银子变成了渣滓, 你的酒用水搀混.

1:23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Every one loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not defend the orphan and the legal dispute of the widow does not come before them.
你的官长存心悖逆, 与盗贼同伙; 人都贪爱贿赂, 追索私酬; 他们不替孤儿伸冤, 寡妇的案件也呈不到他们面前.

1:24 Therefore, the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Ah, I will be relieved of my enemies, and I will avenge myself on my foes.
因此, 主万军之耶和华, 以色列的大能者说: “哎! 我要向我的对头雪恨, 向我的仇敌报复.

1:25 And I will turn my hand against you; I will purify your dross like lye, and I will remove all of your tin.
我必把手转过来攻击你; 我要炼除你的渣滓, 如同用碱来炼一样, 我要除去你的一切杂质.

1:26 And I will restore your judges, as at the first, and your counselors, as at the beginning. After this you will be called the city of righteousness, faithful city.
我必恢复你的审判官, 像起初一样; 也必恢复你的谋士, 像起先一般; 以后, 你必称为公义的城,忠贞的城. ”

1:27 Zion will be redeemed by justice, and those of her who repent, by righteousness.
锡安必因公平蒙救赎, 城中悔改的人也必因公义蒙救赎.

1:28 But the destruction of rebels and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh will perish.
但悖逆的和犯罪的, 必一同灭亡, 离弃耶和华的, 也必灭亡.

1:29 For you will be ashamed of the oaks in which you delighted, and you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen.
你们必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧, 必因你们所选择的园子蒙羞.

1:30 For you shall be like an oak withering its leaves, and like a garden where there is no water for her.
因为你们必像一棵叶子凋落的橡树, 又如一个缺水的园子.

1:31 And the strong man shall become like tinder, and his work like a spark. And both of them shall burn together, and there is not one to quench them.”
有权势的必如麻絮, 他所作的好像火星; 都要一同焚毁, 没有人能扑灭.

Isaiah - Chapter 2

2:1 The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得到默示, 有关犹大和耶路撒冷:

2:2 And it shall happen in the future of the days the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be established; it will be among the highest of the mountains, and it shall be raised from the hills. All of the nations shall travel to him;
在末后的日子, 耶和华殿的山, 必被坚立, 超乎众山, 必被高举, 过于万岭; 万国都要流归这山.

2:3 many peoples shall come. And they shall say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob, and may he teach us part of his ways, and let us walk in his paths.” For instruction shall go out from Zion, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
必有多国的人前来, 说: “来吧! 我们上耶和华的山, 登雅各神的殿; 他必把他的道指教我们, 我们也必遵行他的路. ”因为训诲必出于锡安, 耶和华的话必来自耶路撒冷.

2:4 He shall judge between the nations and he shall arbitrate for many peoples. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. A nation shall not lift up a sword against a nation, and they shall not learn war again.
他要在列国施行审判, 为多国的人断定是非. 他们必把刀打成犁头, 把矛枪打成镰刀. 这国不举刀攻击那国, 他们也不再学习战争.

2:5 House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
雅各家啊, 来吧! 我们要在耶和华的光中行走!

2:6 For you have forsaken your people, house of Jacob, because they are full from the east, and of soothsayers like the Philistines, and they make alliances with the offspring of foreigners.
耶和华啊! 你离弃了你的子民雅各家, 是因为他们充满了东方的迷信, 和占卜的人, 像非利士人一样, 并且与外族人击掌交易.

2:7 And its land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to its treasures; and its land is filled with horses, and there is no end to its chariots.
他们的地满了金银, 他们的财宝没有穷尽, 他们的地满了马匹, 他们的车辆也无数.

2:8 Its land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what they made with their fingers.
他们的地满了偶像; 他们敬拜自己双手所做的, 就是他们的指头所做的.

2:9 So humanity is humbled; everyone is humbled, and you must not forgive them.
卑贱人向偶像俯首, 尊贵人也降卑, 所以不可饶恕他们.

2:10 Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from the presence of the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty.
要进入岩洞, 藏在泥土中; 躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光.

2:11 The haughty eyes of humanity will be brought low, and the pride of everyone will be humbled, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
到那日, 眼目高傲的人必降卑, 性情骄傲的人也必俯首, 唯独耶和华被高举.

2:12 For there is a day for Yahweh of hosts against all of the proud and the lofty and against all that is lifted up and humble,
因为万军之耶和华必有一日, 要攻击一切骄傲的,狂妄的, 和所有高抬自己的, 他们都要降卑.

2:13 and against all the lofty and lifted up cedars of Lebanon, and against all the large trees of Bashan,
又要攻击黎巴嫩所有高大的香柏树, 和巴珊所有的橡树.

2:14 and against all the high mountains, and against all the lofty hills,
又攻击所有的高山, 和所有的峻岭;

2:15 and against every kind of high tower, and against every kind of fortified wall,
攻击每一个高台, 和每一道坚固的城墙;

2:16 and against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the ships of desire.
攻击所有他施的船只, 和所有美丽的船.

2:17 And the haughtiness of the people shall be humbled, and the pride of everyone shall be brought low, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
人的高傲必变为谦虚, 人的狂妄都必降为卑微, 在那日, 唯独耶和华被高举.

2:18 And the idols shall pass away entirely,
偶像却必全然消逝.

2:19 and they will enter into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the ground from the presence of the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty when he rises to terrify the earth.
耶和华起来, 使大地震动的时候, 人必进入石洞, 进入土穴, 躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光.

2:20 On that day humanity will throw away its idols of silver and its idols of gold, which they made for it to worship, to the rodents and to the bats—
到那日, 人必把那些自己所做,供自己敬拜的金偶像和银偶像, 拋给田鼠和蝙蝠.

2:21 to enter into the crevices of the rocks and into the clefts of the crags from the presence of the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
这样, 当耶和华起来, 大地震动的时候, 他们就能进入磐石缝中和岩石隙里, 躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光.

2:22 Turn away from humanity, who has breath in its nostrils, for by what is it esteemed?
你们不要倚靠世人, 他的鼻孔里只有一口气息, 他实在算得什么呢?

Isaiah - Chapter 3

3:1 For look, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is removing every source of support from Jerusalem and from Judah: all of the supplies of bread and all of the supplies of water,
看哪! 主万军之耶和华, 快要从耶路撒冷和犹大, 除掉人所倚靠的和所倚赖的, 就是众人所倚靠的粮, 众人所倚赖的水;

3:2 mighty warrior and man of war, judge and prophet, and diviner and elder,
除掉勇士和战士,审判官和先知,占卜的和长老,

3:3 captain of fifty and the honorable men of rank, and counselor and skillful magicians and skillful enchanter.
五十夫长和尊贵的人,谋士和有技艺的工人, 以及精通法术的.

3:4 And I will make boys their princes, and children shall rule over them.
我必使孩童作他们的领袖, 使婴孩管辖他们.

3:5 And the people will be oppressed by each other and a man by his neighbor. The boy will act arrogantly toward the elder, and the dishonorable toward the honorable.
人民必互相压迫, 人欺压人, 也欺压自己的邻舍; 年轻人要欺凌老年人, 卑贱人必欺凌尊贵人.

3:6 Indeed, a man will seize his brother in the house of his father: “You have a cloak; you shall be a leader for us, and this heap of ruins shall be under your hand!”
人若在父家里, 拉住自己一个兄弟, 说: “你有一件外衣, 你就作我们的官长吧! 这败落的事就归你的手处理. ”

3:7 He will lift up his voice on that day, saying, “I will not be a healer; in my house there is no bread and there is no cloak. You shall not make me the leader of the people!”
那时, 那人必高声说: “我不作医治你们的人, 因为我家里没有粮食, 也没有外衣, 你们不要立我作人民的官长. ”

3:8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen because their speech and their deeds are against Yahweh, defying the eyes of his glory.
耶路撒冷败落, 犹大倾倒, 是因为他们的舌头和行为都敌对耶和华, 惹怒了他那充满荣光的眼目.

3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them and they declare their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have dealt out evil to themselves.
他们面上的表情指证他们的不对; 他们像所多玛一般宣扬自己的罪恶, 并不隐瞒; 他们有祸了, 因为他们自招祸害.

3:10 Tell the innocent that it is good for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
你们要告诉义人, 他们必得福乐, 因为他们必享自己行为所结的果子.

3:11 Woe to the wicked! It is bad! For what is done by his hands will be done to him.
恶人却有祸了, 他们必遭灾难, 因为他们必按自己手所作的得报应.

3:12 My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, your leaders are misleading you, and they confuse the course of your paths.
至于我的子民, 孩童欺压他们, 妇女管辖他们; 我的子民啊! 那引导你们的, 使你们走错了路, 并且混乱了你们所走的方向.

3:13 Yahweh takes his stand to conduct a legal case and takes his stand to judge the peoples.
耶和华起来辩论, 站着审判人民.

3:14 Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of his people and its princes. “And you! You have devoured the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses!
耶和华必审问他子民中的长老和领袖, 说: “那吞尽葡萄园的, 就是你们; 从贫穷人那里掠夺的, 都在你们家中. ”

3:15 Why do you crush my people and grind the face of the poor?” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
主万军之耶和华说: “你们为什么压迫我的子民, 搓磨贫穷人的脸呢? ”

3:16 And Yahweh said: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and they walk with outstretched neck, and they give flirting glances with their eyes, mincing along as they go, and with their feet they rattle their bangles,
耶和华又说: “因为锡安的女子高傲, 走路挺直颈项, 媚眼看人, 俏步徐行, 用脚发出叮当声.

3:17 the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion scabby, and Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.”
因此, 主必使锡安的女子头顶长出秃疮; 耶和华又使她们露出前额. ”

3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets and the headbands and the crescent necklaces,
到那日, 主必除掉她们华美的脚钏,发网,月牙圈,

3:19 the pendants and the bracelets and the veils,
耳坠,手镯,蒙脸的帕子,

3:20 the headdresses and the armlets and the sashes, and the perfume boxes and the amulets,
头饰,脚环,华带,香盒,符囊,

3:21 the signet rings and the nose rings,
戒指,鼻环,

3:22 the festal robes and the mantles, and the cloaks and the handbags,
美服,外衣,钱袋,

3:23 and the mirrors and the linen garments, and the turbans and the wraps.
镜子,细麻衬衣,头巾,蒙身帕子.

3:24 And this shall happen: There will be a stench instead of perfume, and a rope instead of a sash, and baldness instead of a well-set hairdo, and a clothing wrap of sackcloth instead of a rich robe, branding instead of beauty.
必有腐臭代替馨香, 绳子代替腰带, 光秃代替美发, 麻衣系腰代替美服, 烙痕代替美貌.

3:25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
你的男丁要倒在刀下, 你的勇士必死在战场.

3:26 And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall be banished; she shall sit upon the ground.
锡安的城门必悲哀哭号, 锡安被掠夺, 成了一片荒凉后, 必坐在地上.

Isaiah - Chapter 4

4:1 And seven women shall grasp at one man on that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread, and we will wear our own clothing; only let us be called by your name! Take away our disgrace!”
到那日, 七个女人必拉住一个男人, 说: “我们吃自己的饭, 穿自己的衣服; 只求你让我们归在你名下, 使我们的羞辱可以除掉. ”

4:2 On that day the branch of Yahweh shall become beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall become the pride and glory of the survivors of Israel.
到那日, 从耶和华那里发生的苗必华美荣耀; 那地的果实成为以色列那些逃脱的人的夸耀和光荣.

4:3 And this shall happen: He who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone written for life in Jerusalem,
那时, 锡安余剩,仍留在耶路撒冷的人, 就是所有登记在耶路撒冷活人名册上的, 都必称为圣.

4:4 when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the blood of Jerusalem from her midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning.
主要用审判的灵和焚烧的灵把锡安女子的污秽洗去, 又把耶路撒冷中间的血腥洗净.

4:5 Then Yahweh will create over all of the site of Mount Zion and over her assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the brightness of flaming fire by night. Indeed, over all the glory there will be a canopy,
然后, 耶和华必在锡安全山之上, 并会众之上, 在日间创造云和烟, 夜间创造有火焰的光亮, 因为在一切荣耀之上, 必有遮盖.

4:6 and it will be a shelter for shade from the heat by day, and a refuge and a hiding place from rainstorm and from rain.
也必有亭子, 日间可以使人得阴凉,避炎热, 也可以作避难时藏身之所, 或作躲避狂风暴雨之处.

Isaiah - Chapter 5

5:1 Let me sing for my beloved a song of my love concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.
我要为我所爱的唱歌, 这歌是关于他的葡萄园: 我所爱的人有一个葡萄园, 在肥美的山冈上.

5:2 And he dug it and cleared it of stones, and he planted it with choice vines, and he built a watchtower in the middle of it, and he even hewed out a wine vat in it, and he waited for it to yield grapes— but it yielded wild grapes.
他把园子周围的泥土挖松了, 捡去石头, 栽种了上好的葡萄树; 在园中建造了一座守望楼, 又凿了一个榨酒池. 他期望结出好葡萄, 却结出野葡萄.

5:3 And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
耶路撒冷的居民和犹大人哪! 现在请你们在我与我的葡萄园之间断定是非吧!

5:4 What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why did I hope for it to yield grapes, and it yielded wild grapes?
我为我的葡萄园所作的以外, 还有什么要作的呢? 我期望它结出好葡萄, 它为什么倒结出野葡萄呢?

5:5 And now let me tell you what I myself am about to do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall become a devastation. I will break down its wall, and it shall become a trampling.
现在我告诉你们, 我要怎样处理我的葡萄园: 我要把它的篱笆撤去, 使它被吞灭; 我要把它的围墙拆毁, 使它被践踏.

5:6 And I will make it a wasteland; it shall not be pruned and hoed, and it shall be overgrown with briers and thornbushes. And concerning the clouds, I will command them not to send rain down upon it.
我要使它荒废, 不再修剪, 也不再耕耘, 荆棘和蒺藜却要长起来; 我也要吩咐云不再降雨在园子上.

5:7 For the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts is the house of Israel, and the man of Judah is the plantation of his delight. And he waited for justice, but look! Bloodshed! For righteousness, but look! A cry of distress!
因为万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列家, 他喜悦的树就是犹大人; 他期望的是公平, 但看到的只是流血的事; 他期望的是公义, 听到的只是哀叫声.

5:8 Ah! Those who join house with house, they join field together with field until there is no place and you are caused to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
那些使房屋连接房屋, 使田地连接田地, 以致不留余地的人, 有祸了! 你们只可以独居在境内.

5:9 Yahweh of hosts said in my ears: Surely many houses shall become a desolation, large and beautiful ones without inhabitant.
我听闻万军之耶和华说: “必有许多房屋变成荒凉, 甚至那些又大又美的房屋也没有人居住.

5:10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer will yield an ephah.
十公顷葡萄园只出二十二公升酒; 二百二十公升谷种只结二十二公升粮食. ”

5:11 Ah! Those who rise early in the morning, they pursue strong drink. Those who linger in the evening, wine inflames them.
那些清早起来, 追求浓酒, 留连到晚上, 以致因酒发烧的人, 有祸了!

5:12 And there will be lyre and harp, tambourine and flute, and wine at their feasts, but they do not look at the deeds of Yahweh, and they do not see the work of his hands.
在他们的筵席上, 有琴,瑟,手鼓,笛和酒, 但他们不理耶和华的作为, 也不留心他手所作的.

5:13 Therefore my people will go into exile without knowledge, and their nobles will be men of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst.
所以我的人民因无知被掳去; 他们的尊贵人十分饥饿; 他们的群众极其干渴.

5:14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat, and it has opened wide its mouth without limit, and her nobles will go down, and her multitude, her tumult and those who revel in her.
故此, 阴间扩张它的咽喉, 张大它的口, 没有限量; 耶路撒冷城的荣耀,群众,喧嚷的人和在城中作乐的人, 都要下到阴间.

5:15 And humankind is bowed down, and man is brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humiliated.
卑贱人俯首, 尊贵人降卑, 眼目高傲的也降卑.

5:16 But Yahweh of hosts is exalted by justice, and the holy God shows himself holy by righteousness.
唯独万军之耶和华, 因公平被高举; 至圣的神, 因公义显为圣.

5:17 And then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and fatlings, kids will eat among the sites of ruins.
那时羊羔必来吃草, 像在自己的草场一样; 富裕者的荒场被寄居者随意吃用.

5:18 Ah! Those who drag iniquity along with the cords of falsehood and sin as with rope of the cart,
那些人虚假的绳索牵引罪孽, 又像用车绳拉罪恶的人, 有祸了!

5:19 those who say, “Let him make haste; let him hurry his work so that we may see it and let it draw near and let the plan of the holy one of Israel come so that we may know it!”
他们说: “愿他赶快,迅速地成就他的作为, 给我们看看! 愿以色列的圣者所计划的临近! 愿它来到, 好让我们知道! ”

5:20 Ah! Those who call evil good and good evil, those who put darkness for light and light for darkness, those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
那些称恶为善, 称善为恶, 以暗为光, 以光为暗, 以苦为甜, 以甜为苦的人, 有祸了!

5:21 Ah! Those who are wise in their own eyes and have understanding in their view!
那些自以为有智慧, 自视为聪明的人, 有祸了!

5:22 Ah! Heroes at drinking wine, and men of capability at mixing strong drink!
那些勇于喝酒, 又精于调和浓酒的人, 有祸了!

5:23 Those who acquit the guilty because of a bribe and remove the justice of the innocent from him.
他们因受了贿赂, 就称恶人为义; 却把义人的权益夺去.

5:24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will become like the stench, and their blossom will go up like the dust. For they have rejected the instruction of Yahweh of hosts, and they have treated the word of the holy one of Israel with contempt.
因此, 火舌怎样吞灭碎秸, 干草怎样落在火焰之中, 照样, 他们的根必像腐朽之物, 他们的花必像尘土飞扬; 因为他们弃绝万军之耶和华的训诲, 藐视以色列圣者的话.

5:25 Therefore Yahweh’s wrath was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them, and the mountains quaked, and their corpses were like refuse in the middle of the streets. In all of this his anger has not turned back, and still his hand is stretched out.
所以耶和华的怒气向他的子民发作, 他伸出手来击打他们, 群山都震动, 他们的尸体在街上好像粪土, 虽然这样, 他的怒气还未转消, 他的手仍然伸出.

5:26 And he will raise a signal for a nation from afar, and he will whistle for it from the end of the earth. And look! It comes quickly, swiftly!
他必竖立旗帜, 招一国的人从远方而来, 发出哨声把他们从地极召来; 看! 他们必急速快奔而来.

5:27 None is weary, and none among him stumbles; none slumbers and none sleeps. And no loincloth on his waist is opened, and no thong of his sandals is drawn away.
他们当中没有疲倦的, 没有绊倒的, 没有打盹的, 也没有睡觉的; 他们的腰带没有放松, 鞋带也没有折断.

5:28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all of his bows are bent. The hoofs of his horses are reckoned like flint, and his wheels like the storm wind.
他们的箭锐利, 所有的弓都上了弦; 他们的马蹄看来像火石, 车辆似旋风.

5:29 His roaring is like the lion, and he roars like young lions. And he growls and seizes his prey, and he carries it off, and not one can rescue it.
他们的吼叫像母狮, 他们的咆哮如幼狮; 他们咆哮, 攫取猎物, 把它叼去, 无人援救.

5:30 And he will roar over him on that day like the roaring of the sea, and if one looks to the land, look! Darkness! Distress! And the light grows dark with its clouds.
到那日, 他们要向以色列人咆哮, 像海浪的澎湃声一样; 人若望着这地, 就只见黑暗与灾难; 光在云中也成了黑暗.

Isaiah - Chapter 6

6:1 In the year of the death of Uzziah the king, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and raised throne, and the hem of his robe was filling the temple.
乌西雅王去世那年, 我看见主坐在高高的宝座上, 他的衣裳垂下, 充满圣殿.

6:2 Seraphs were standing above him. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
在他上面有撒拉弗侍立, 各有六个翅膀; 用两个翅膀遮脸, 两个翅膀遮脚, 两个翅膀飞翔.

6:3 And the one called to the other and said, “Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory.”
他们彼此高呼着说: “圣哉! 圣哉! 圣哉! 万军之耶和华! 他的荣光充满全地. ”

6:4 And the pivots of the thresholds shook from the sound of those who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
因呼叫者的声音, 门槛的根基震撼, 殿也充满了烟云.

6:5 And I said, “Woe to me! For I am destroyed! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I am living among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the king, Yahweh of hosts!”
那时我说: “我有祸了, 我灭亡了! 因为我是个嘴唇不洁的人, 又住在嘴唇不洁的人民中间, 又因为我亲眼看见了大君王万军之耶和华. ”

6:6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me, and in his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.
有一个撒拉弗飞到我面前, 手里拿着烧红的炭, 是用火钳从祭坛上取来的.

6:7 And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Look! This has touched your lips and has removed your guilt, and your sin is annulled.”
他用炭沾我的口, 说: “看哪! 这炭沾了你的嘴唇, 你的罪孽就除掉, 你的罪恶就赦免了. ”

6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “I am here! Send me!”
我又听见主的声音说: “我可以差遣谁呢? 谁肯为我们去呢? ”我说: “我在这里, 请差遣我. ”

6:9 And he said, “Go and say to this people, ‘Keep on listening and do not comprehend! And keep on looking and do not understand!’
他说: “你去告诉这子民, 说: ‘你们听了又听, 却不明白; 看了又看, 却不晓得. ’

6:10 Make the heart of this people insensitive, and make its ears unresponsive, and shut its eyes so that it may not look with its eyes and listen with its ears and comprehend with its mind and turn back, and it may be healed for him.”
你要使这子民的心思迟钝, 耳朵不灵, 眼睛昏暗, 免得他们眼睛看见, 耳朵听见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 得到医治. ”

6:11 Then I said, “Until when, Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities lie wasted without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is ruined and a waste,
于是我说: “主啊, 这要到几时为止呢? ”他回答说: “直到城镇荒凉, 无人居住; 房屋空置无人, 地土废弃荒凉.

6:12 and Yahweh sends the people far away, and the abandonment is great in the midst of the land.
耶和华要把人迁到远方, 在这境内必有很多被撇下的地土.

6:13 And even if only a tenth part remain, again she will be destroyed like a terebinth or like an oak, which although felled, a tree stump remains in them. The seed of holiness will be her tree stump.”
境内剩下的人, 虽然只有十分之一, 也必被消灭. 但正如栗树和橡树, 虽然被砍下, 树的余干还存留在那里. 这圣洁的苗裔, 就是这国的余干. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 7

7:1 This happened in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah. Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem for warfare against it, but he was not able to fight against it.
乌西雅的孙子,约坦的儿子犹大王亚哈斯在位的日子, 亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子以色列王比加, 上来攻打耶路撒冷, 却不能把它攻陷.

7:2 When it was reported to the house of David, saying “Aram stands by Ephraim,” his heart and the heart of his people shook like the shaking of the trees of the forest because of the wind.
有人告诉大卫家说: “亚兰已经在以法莲地安营. ”王的心和人民的心就都震动, 像林中的树被风摇动一样.

7:3 Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the washer’s field.
耶和华对以赛亚说: “你和你的儿子施亚雅述出去, 在上池的水沟尽头, 就是在漂布者田间的大路上, 去迎接亚哈斯,

7:4 And you must say to him, ‘Take heed and be quiet! You must not fear, and your heart must not be faint because of these two stumps of smoldering firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.
对他说: ‘你要谨慎, 要镇定, 不要因亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子这两个冒烟的火把头所发的怒气而害怕, 也不要心里胆怯.

7:5 Because Aram has plotted evil against you with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
因为亚兰,以法莲和利玛利的儿子, 设恶谋要害你, 说:

7:6 “Let us go up against Judah and let us tear her apart, and let us lay it open and so bring it unto ourselves, and let us install the son of Tabeel as king in her midst.”
“我们可以上去攻打犹大, 扰乱她, 把她攻占过来, 归我们所有, 又在其中立他比勒的儿子作王. ”

7:7 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “It shall not stand, and it shall not come to pass.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: “这计谋必立不住, 也不能成就,

7:8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin, and in sixty-five years from now Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people.
因为亚兰的首都是大马士革, 大马士革的首领是利汛; 六十五年之内, 以法莲必定毁灭, 不再成为一族之民.

7:9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not believe then you will not endure.” ’ ”
以法莲的首都是撒玛利亚, 撒玛利亚的首领是利玛利的儿子; 你们若不相信, 就必定不得坚立. ”’”

7:10 And Yahweh continued to speak to Ahaz, saying,
耶和华又告诉亚哈斯说:

7:11 “Ask for a sign for yourself from Yahweh God; make it deep as Sheol or make it high as above.”
“你向耶和华你的神求一个兆头, 或求显在深处, 或求显在高处. ”

7:12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put Yahweh to the test.”
但亚哈斯说: “我不求, 我不试探耶和华. ”

7:13 Then he said, “Hear, house of David! Is it too little for you to make men weary, that you should also make my God weary?
以赛亚说: “大卫家啊, 你们要听! 你们使人厌烦还算小事, 还要使我的神厌烦吗?

7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look! the virgin is with child and she is about to give birth to a son, and she shall call his name ‘God with us.’
因此主自己必给你们一个兆头: 看哪! 必有童女怀孕生子; 她要给他起名叫‘以马内利’.

7:15 He shall eat curds and honey until he knows to reject the evil and to choose the good.
到他晓得弃恶择善的时候, 他必吃乳酪和蜂蜜.

7:16 For before the boy knows to reject the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned.
因为在这孩子晓得弃恶择善之先, 你所畏惧的那两个王之地, 早就被弃绝了.

7:17 “Yahweh will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your ancestor days that have not come since the day Ephraim departed from Judah: the king of Assyria.”
“耶和华必使灾难的日子临到你和你的人民, 以及你的父家, 自从以法莲脱离犹大以来, 未曾有过这样的日子, 就是亚述王的入侵. ”

7:18 And this shall happen: On that day, Yahweh will whistle for the fly that is at the end of the stream of Egypt and the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
到那时, 耶和华必发出哨声, 把埃及河流尽头的苍蝇和亚述地的蜂子召来.

7:19 And all of them will come and settle in the rivers of the cliffs and in the clefts of the rocks and on all of the thornbushes and watering places.
它们都必飞来, 落在荒谷中,岩石的穴里,一切荆棘丛中和所有的草场上.

7:20 On that day, the Lord will shave the head and the hair of the feet with a razor of the one hired from beyond the river—with the king of Assyria—and it will even take off the beard.
到那日, 主必用大河那边租来的剃刀, 就是亚述王, 剃去你们的头发和脚上的毛, 并且剃净你们的胡须.

7:21 And this shall happen: on that day, a young man will keep a young cow of the herd and two sheep alive.
到那时, 一个人只能养活一头母牛犊和两只母绵羊.

7:22 And this shall happen: because of the abundance of milk production, he will eat curds, for every one that is left in the midst of the land will eat curds and honey.
因为出的奶多, 他就可以吃乳酪; 境内剩下的人, 都要吃乳酪和蜂蜜.

7:23 And this shall happen on that day: Every place where there are a thousand vines for a thousand silver pieces will become briers, and it will be thornbushes.
到那日, 从前种一千棵葡萄树, 价值一万一千四百克银子的地方, 现在却成为荆棘和蒺藜生长之处.

7:24 One will go there with arrows and bow, for all of the land will be briers and thornbushes.
人到那里去, 必须携带弓和箭, 因为遍地都是荆棘和蒺藜.

7:25 And as for all of the hills that they hoed with the hoe, you will not go there, for fear of briers and thornbushes. And it will become like pastureland for cattle and overtrodden land for sheep.
以前所有用锄头挖掘的山地, 你因为惧怕荆棘和蒺藜, 都不敢上那里去; 那里就成了放牛之地, 羊群践踏之处.

Isaiah - Chapter 8

8:1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take yourself a large tablet and write on it with a common stylus pen: Maher-Halal-Hash-Baz.
耶和华对我说: “你拿一块大版, 用通用的文字写上‘玛黑珥．沙拉勒．哈施．罢斯’(“玛黑珥．沙拉勒．哈施．罢斯”意即“赶快掳掠, 急速夺取”).

8:2 And I will require reliable witnesses as a witness for me: Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
我要叫两个诚实的见证人, 就是乌利亚祭司和耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚, 来为我作见证. ”

8:3 And I approached the prophetess, and she conceived, and she gave birth to a son. And Yahweh said to me, “Call his name Maher-Halal-Hash-Baz.
我亲近了女先知, 就是我妻子, 她就怀孕生子. 耶和华对我说: “给他起名叫‘玛黑珥．沙拉勒．哈施．罢斯’,

8:4 For before the boy knows to call ‘my father’ and ‘my mother,’ one will carry away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria in the presence of the king of Assyria.”
因为在这孩子晓得喊叫父母以先, 大马士革的财宝和撒玛利亚的掳物, 必在亚述王面前被搬了去. ”

8:5 And Yahweh continued to speak to me again, saying,
耶和华又再告诉我说:

8:6 “Because this people has refused the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoices over Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
“这子民既然厌弃了西罗亚缓流的水, 却喜悦利汛和利玛利的儿子,

8:7 therefore look! The Lord is bringing up the waters of the great and mighty river against them, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And he will rise above all his channels, and he will flow over all his banks.
因此, 主必使大河又强又大的水临到他们, 就是亚述王和他一切威荣, 水必涨起来, 高过所有的水道; 水要泛滥, 漫过所有的河岸;

8:8 And he will sweep into Judah; he will overflow and he will flood up to the neck. He will reach, and he will spread his wings out over your entire land, God with us.”
然后必冲入犹大, 涨溢泛滥, 直到颈项, 以马内利啊! 它展开的翅膀必遮遍你广阔的地土. ”

8:9 Be broken, you peoples, and be dismayed. And listen, all distant parts of the earth; gird yourselves and be dismayed; gird yourselves and be dismayed!
列国之民啊! 你们尽管作恶, 但你们终必毁灭! 所有在远处的人民啊, 要留心听! 你们尽管束腰吧, 你们终必毁灭! 你们尽管束腰吧, 你们终必毁灭!

8:10 Make a plan, but it will be frustrated! Speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us!
你们尽管计划阴谋吧, 这些终必失败; 你们尽管提议吧, 这些终必不能成立, 因为神与我们同在.

8:11 For Yahweh said this to me while his hand weighed heavily on me, and he warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
耶和华以大能的手托住我, 教导我不要走这子民所走的道路; 他对我这样说:

8:12 “You must not call conspiracy everything that this people calls conspiracy, and you must not share its fear, and you must not be in dread.
“这子民所称为阴谋的, 你们都不要称为阴谋; 他们所怕的, 你们不要怕, 也不要畏惧.

8:13 You shall regard Yahweh of hosts as holy, and he is your fear, and he is your dread.
你们要尊万军之耶和华为圣, 他是你们当怕的, 也是你们当畏惧的.

8:14 And he will become like a sanctuary and a stumbling-stone, and like a stumbling-rock for the two houses of Israel, like a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
他必向信靠他的人作圣所, 却向以色列两家作绊脚的石头,跌人的磐石; 又向耶路撒冷的居民作陷阱和网罗.

8:15 And many shall stumble among them, and they shall fall and they shall be broken, and they shall be ensnared and they shall be caught.”
许多人必在其上绊跌,仆倒,跌碎, 并且陷入网罗被捉住. ”

8:16 Bind up the testimony; seal the teaching among my disciples.
你要卷起律法书, 在我的门徒中间封住训诲.

8:17 And I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will await him.
我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华, 我要仰视他.

8:18 Look! I and the children whom Yahweh has given to me are like signs and portents in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, the one who dwells on the mountain of Zion.
看哪! 我和耶和华赐给我的孩子, 在以色列中作预兆与奇迹, 都是从住在锡安山的万军之耶和华来的.

8:19 Now if they tell you, “Consult the ghosts and the spirits, those who chirp and those who mutter. Should not a people consult its gods, the dead on behalf of the living,
有人对你们说: “要求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的, 就是那些喃喃细语的人. ”一族之民不应当求问自己的神吗? 他们怎能为活人求问死人呢?

8:20 for teaching and for testimony?” surely they who speak like this have no dawn.
他们应当求问神的训诲和法度; 他们若不照着这些准则说话, 就见不到曙光.

8:21 And it will pass through it distressed and hungry, and this shall happen: when it is hungry, it will be enraged, and it will curse its king and its gods, and it will face upwar
他们必经过这地, 受困迫,受饥饿; 他们饥饿的时候, 就恼怒, 咒骂自己的王和自己的神;

8:22 or look to the earth. But look! Distress and darkness, the gloom of affliction! And it will be thrust into darkness!
他们仰脸向天观望, 又俯视大地, 只见困苦,黑暗,可怕的幽暗; 他们必被赶入幽黑的黑暗中.

Isaiah - Chapter 9

9:1 But there will be no gloom for those who were in distress. In former times he treated the land of Zebulun and Naphtali with contempt, but in the future he will honor the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
但那受过困苦的, 必不再见幽暗. 以前神使西布伦和拿弗他利地被轻视, 日后却要使它们在沿海之路,约旦河外和外族人的加利利, 得着荣耀.

9:2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; light has shined on those who lived in a land of darkness.
行在黑暗中的人民, 看见了大光; 住在死荫之地的人, 有光照耀他们.

9:3 You have made the nation numerous; you have not made the joy great. They rejoice in your presence as with joy at the harvest, as they rejoice when they divide plunder.
你使这国之民增多, 又加添他们的欢乐; 他们在你面前欢乐, 好像收割时的欢乐一样; 又像人在均分战利品时的快乐一般.

9:4 For you have shattered the yoke of its burden and the stick of its shoulder, the rod of its oppressor, on the day of Midian.
因为他们所负的轭和肩头上的杖, 以及欺压他们的人的棍, 你都折断了, 像在米甸的日子一样.

9:5 For every boot that marches and shakes the earth and garment rolled in blood will be for burning—fire fuel.
因为战士在战争喧嚷中所穿的靴, 和辊在血中的袍, 都必烧毁, 成了烧火的燃料.

9:6 For a child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. And the dominion will be on his shoulder, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
因为有一个婴孩为我们而生, 有一个儿子赐给我们; 政权必担在他的肩头上; 他的名必称为“奇妙的策士,全能的神,永恒的父,和平的君”.

9:7 His dominion will grow continually, and to peace there will be no end on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and righteousness now and forever. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.
他的政权与平安必无穷无尽地增加, 他在大卫的宝座上治理他的国, 以公平和公义使国坚立稳固, 从现在直到永远. 万军之耶和华的热心必成全这事.

9:8 The Lord has sent out a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
主发出一个信息攻击雅各家, 信息落在以色列家.

9:9 And all of the people knew it, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria in pride and arrogance of heart, saying,
所有的人民, 就是以法莲和撒玛利亚的居民, 都要知道这事; 他们凭着骄傲和自大的心说:

9:10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stone. The sycamore-fig trees were felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
“砖墙倒塌了, 我们就用凿好的石头来建筑; 桑树砍倒了, 我们就用香柏树替换. ”

9:11 So Yahweh strengthened the adversaries of Rezin against him, and he provoked his enemies—
因此, 耶和华必兴起利汛的敌人来攻击以色列, 并且要激动以色列的仇敌.

9:12 Aram from the east and Philistines from the west— and they devoured Israel with the whole mouth. He has not turned away his anger in all of this, and his hand is still stretched out.
东有亚兰人, 西有非利士人; 他们张开口来要吞灭以色列. 虽然这样, 耶和华的怒气还没有转消, 他的手仍然伸出.

9:13 And the people did not turn to the one who struck it, and they did not seek Yahweh of hosts.
这人民还没有回转,归向那击打他们的万军之耶和华, 也没有寻求他.

9:14 So Yahweh cut off head and tail from Israel, palm branch and reed in one day.
因此, 耶和华在一日之间, 必从以色列中剪除头和尾,棕枝与芦苇.

9:15 Elders and the respectable are the head, and prophets who teach lies are the tail.
长老和尊贵人就是头; 用谎言教导人的先知就是尾.

9:16 And the leaders of this people were misleading them, and those who were led were confused.
因为那些领导这人民的, 使他们走错了路; 那些被领导的, 都必一片混乱.

9:17 Therefore the Lord did not rejoice over its young men, and he did not have compassion on its orphans and widows, for everyone was godless and an evildoer, and every mouth was speaking folly. In all of this his anger did not turn away, and still his hand is stretched out.
因此, 主不喜欢他们的年轻人, 也不怜恤他们的孤儿寡妇; 因为他们各人都是不敬虔的, 是邪恶的, 各人的口都说愚昧的话. 虽然这样, 耶和华的怒气还没有转消, 他的手仍然伸出.

9:18 For wickedness burned like fire; it consumed brier and thorn. And it kindled the thickets of the forest, and they swirled upward in a column of smoke.
邪恶像火一般焚烧, 吞灭荆棘蒺藜, 连树林中的密丛也烧起火来, 它们旋转上腾, 成了烟柱.

9:19 The land was burned through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, and the people became like fire fuel. People had no compassion toward each other.
因着万军之耶和华的烈怒, 地被烧毁, 人民成了烧火的燃料一般, 没有人顾惜自己的兄弟.

9:20 They devoured on the right but still were hungry and devoured on the left but they were not satisfied. Each one devoured the flesh of his arm,
有人在右边切肉, 仍然饥饿; 在左边吞吃, 仍然不饱足; 各人竟吃自己手臂的肉.

9:21 Manasseh devoured Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they were against Judah. In all of this his anger has not turned away, and still his hand is stretched out.
玛拿西吞吃以法莲, 以法莲吞吃玛拿西, 又一起攻击犹大. 虽然这样, 耶和华的怒气还没有转消, 他的手仍然伸出.

Isaiah - Chapter 10

10:1 Ah! Those who decree decrees of evil, and writers who have written harm,
那些制定奸恶律例的, 和那些记录诡诈判语的, 有祸了!

10:2 to guide the needy away from legal claims, and to rob the justice from the poor of my people, to make widows their spoil; and they plunder orphans.
他们想借此屈枉穷乏人的公义, 剥夺我子民中困苦人的权利, 使寡妇作了他们的掠物, 使孤儿作了他们的掳物.

10:3 And what will you do at the day of punishment, and at calamity? It comes from afar! To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth,
到降罚的日子, 有灾祸从远方来到, 那时你们要怎样行呢? 你们可以向谁逃奔求助呢? 你们可以把你们的财宝撇在哪里呢?

10:4 save that they bow down under the prisoners and fall under the slain? In all of this his anger has not turned away, and still his hand is stretched out.
你们只能屈身在被掳的人中间, 或是仆倒在被杀的人中间. 虽然这样, 耶和华的怒气还没有转消, 他的手仍然伸出.

10:5 Ah! Assyria, the rod of my anger, and a staff is in their hand: my wrath!
亚述啊! 我怒气的棍子, 有祸了. 他们手中拿着我忿怒的杖.

10:6 I send him against a godless nation, and I command him against the people of my wrath, to capture spoil and to carry off plunder, and to make them a trampling place, like the clay of the streets.
我要差派他去攻击一个不敬虔的国, 吩咐他去攻击我恼怒的子民, 掳去掠物, 抢夺掳物, 把他们践踏, 像街上的泥土一样.

10:7 But he does not think this, and his heart does not plan this. For it is in his heart to destroy and to cut off not a few nations.
但亚述并没有这样想过, 他心里也没有这样打算; 他心里倒想毁灭,剪除多国.

10:8 For he says, “Are not my commanders altogether kings?
因为他说: “在我手下的众领袖不都是王吗?

10:9 Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
迦勒挪不是像迦基米施吗? 哈玛不是像亚珥拔吗? 撒玛利亚不是像大马士革吗?

10:10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols —and their images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
我的手伸展到这些充满偶像的国, 他们雕刻的像比耶路撒冷和撒玛利亚的还多.

10:11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and its idols what I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
我怎样对待撒玛利亚和其中的偶像, 不也照样对待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像吗? ”

10:12 And this shall happen: when the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, “I will punish the arrogance of the king of Assyria and his haughtiness.”
主在锡安山和耶路撒冷成全了他一切工作的时候, 他必说: 我要惩罚亚述王自大的心所结的果子, 和他眼目高傲的态度.

10:13 For he says, “I have done it by the strength of my hand and by my wisdom, for I have understanding, and I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and I have plundered their stores, and like a bull I have brought down the inhabitants.
因为他说: “我靠着我手的能力和我的智慧行事, 因为我很聪明; 我挪移了列国的地界, 抢夺了他们积蓄的财宝, 并且我像个勇士般使他们的居民全都俯伏下来.

10:14 And my hand has found, like a nest, the wealth of the peoples, and like the gathering of forsaken eggs, I myself have gathered all the earth. And there was no fluttering wing or open mouth or chirp.”
我的手伸到列国的财宝那里, 好像抓到鸟窝一样; 我取得了全地, 好像人拾起被弃的雀蛋; 没有动翅膀的, 没有张嘴的, 也没有鸣叫的. ”

10:15 Does the ax boast against the one who cuts with it, or the saw magnify itself against the one who moves it to and fro? As if a rod should move the one who lifts it! As if a staff should lift up that which is not wood!
斧头怎可以向用斧头砍木的人自夸呢? 锯子怎可以向拉锯的人自大呢? 好比棍能挥动那举起棍的, 又好比杖举起那不是木头的.

10:16 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, will send leanness among his sturdy warriors, and a burning like the burning of fire will burn under his glory.
因此, 主万军之耶和华必打发令人消瘦的病临到亚述王肥壮的军人中间, 在他的荣耀之下必燃起火焰, 如同火烧一样.

10:17 And the light of Israel will become like a fire, and his holy one like a flame, and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
以色列的光必变成火, 他的圣者必成为火焰; 在一日之间把亚述王的荆棘和蒺藜焚烧与吞灭.

10:18 And he will destroy the glory of his forest and orchard completely, and it will be like the wasting away of one who is sick.
又把他树林和丰盛果园的荣美全部灭尽, 好像一个患病的人渐渐虚弱一样.

10:19 And the rest of the trees of his forest will be a small number, and a boy can write them down.
他林中剩下的树, 数目必定稀少, 连小孩子也能把它们的数目写下来.

10:20 And this shall happen: on that day, the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will not continue to lean on the one who struck it but will lean on Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, in truth.
到那日, 以色列的余民和雅各家逃脱的人, 必不再倚靠那击打他们的, 却要诚实地倚靠耶和华以色列的圣者.

10:21 A remnant will return— the remnant of Jacob—to the mighty God.
那些余民, 就是雅各家的余民, 必回转归向大能的神.

10:22 For though your people Israel was like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of it will return. Annihilation is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
以色列啊! 你的人民虽然像海沙那样多, 却只有余剩的人可以归回, 因为灭绝的事已经定了, 公义必如洪水泛滥.

10:23 For the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to make a complete destruction and a determined end in the midst of all the earth.
主万军之耶和华必在全地之中, 作成已定的毁灭之事.

10:24 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh of hosts: “My people who live in Zion, you must not be afraid of Assyria. It beats you with the rod, and it lifts up its staff against you as the Egyptians did.
因此, 主万军之耶和华这样说: “我的子民,锡安的居民哪! 亚述人虽然用棍击打你们, 又像埃及一样举杖攻击你们, 你们却不要怕他们.

10:25 My indignation will come to an end in just a very little while, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.”
因为还有短暂的时候, 我向你们发的恼怒就要完结, 我的怒气要转向他们, 使他们灭亡. ”

10:26 And Yahweh of hosts is going to swing a whip against him, as when Midian was defeated at the rock of Oreb; and his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift him up as he did in Egypt.
万军之耶和华必兴起鞭子攻击他们, 好像在俄立磐石那里击杀米甸人一样; 他的杖要伸到海上, 他必把杖举起, 像在埃及一样.

10:27 And this shall happen: on that day, he will remove his burden from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck, and a yoke will be destroyed because of fat.
到那日, 亚述人的重压必从你们的肩头上挪开, 他们的轭必离开你们的颈项; 那轭必因肥壮的缘故折断.

10:28 He has come to Aiath, he has passed through Migron; at Micmash he deposited his baggage.
亚述人来到亚叶, 经过米矶仑; 在密抹存放军队行装.

10:29 They crossed over the pass; Geba is a place of overnight lodging for us. Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul has fled.
他们过了隘口, 在迦巴住宿; 拉玛人战兢, 扫罗的基比亚人逃跑.

10:30 Daughter of Gallim, cry out with your voice; Laishah, listen! Anathoth is poor.
迦琳的居民哪, 高声叫喊吧! 莱煞人和可怜的亚拿突啊, 留心听吧!

10:31 Madmenah flees! The inhabitants of Gebim bring themselves into safety!
玛得米那人逃跑, 基柄的居民避难.

10:32 This day taking a stand at Nob, he will shake his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
就在今日, 亚述王要停留在挪伯; 他要挥拳攻击锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的山, 就是耶路撒冷的山.

10:33 Look! The Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to lop off the branches with great power, and the towering trees will be felled, and the tall trees will be brought low.
看哪! 主万军之耶和华在可怕的震撼声中, 把树枝削去; 身量高的必被砍下, 高大的必被伐倒.

10:34 And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with the axe, and Lebanon will fall by the mighty one.
树林中的密丛, 他必用铁器砍下; 黎巴嫩的树木必被大能者伐倒.

但你要从你的坟墓中被逐出, 好像一根被厌弃的树枝, 你被那些遭刀剑所杀的人掩盖, 就是那些被拋到坑中石头那里的人. 你就像一具遭人践踏的尸体.

14:20 You will not be united with them in burial because you have destroyed your land, you have killed your people. The descendants of evildoers will not be mentioned for eternity!
你必不得与别的君王同葬, 因为你败坏了你的国, 杀戮了你的人民; 愿那些恶人的后裔永远不被人提说.

14:25 to break Assyria in my land, and I will trample him down on my mountains; and he shall remove his yoke from them, and he shall remove his burden from his shoulders.”
就是在我的地上粉碎亚述人, 在我的山上践踏他们; 他们所加的轭必离开以色列人, 他们所加的重担必离开以色列人的肩头. ”

14:29 You must not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken, for a viper will come forth from the root of the snake, and its fruit will be a flying serpent.
非利士全地啊! 不要因为那击打你们的杖折断了就欢喜, 因为从蛇的根必生出毒蛇来, 它所生的, 是会飞的蛇.

最贫寒的人必有食物吃, 贫乏人必安然躺卧; 我必用饥荒毁灭你的根, 你余剩的人, 必被饥荒所杀.

14:31 Wail, gate! Cry, city! Melt, Philistia, all of you! For smoke is coming from the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
城门啊, 要哀号! 城镇啊, 要呼叫! 非利士全地啊, 要战栗发软! 因为有烟从北方来, 在他的行伍中没有离队逃走的.

14:32 And what will one answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and the needy of his people will take refuge in it.
人要怎样回答外族的使者呢? 要说: “耶和华建立了锡安, 他子民中的困苦人必在其中避难. ”

万军之耶和华亲自启示我说: “直到你们死的时候, 这罪孽也不得赦免. ”这是主万军之耶和华说的.

22:15 The Lord, Yahweh of hosts, says this: “Go! Go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the house:
主万军之耶和华这样说: “你去见这掌管库房的, 就是总管舍伯那, 对他说:

22:16 ‘What business do you have here, and who do you have here, that you have cut a grave cutting here for yourself, carving his grave on the height, a dwelling place for him in the rock?
你在这里有什么权利呢? 你在这里有什么人, 竟在这里为你自己凿坟墓, 就是在高处为自己凿坟墓, 在磐石中为自己凿出安身之所呢?

22:17 Look! Yahweh is about to really hurl you, man! And he is about to grasp you firmly;
看哪, 勇士啊! 耶和华将要猛烈地拋掷你; 他必把你紧紧抓住,

22:18 he will wind a winding tightly around you like a ball, to a wide land. There you shall die, and there the chariots of your splendor will be, disgrace to your master’s house!
把你卷了又卷, 卷成球状, 然后掷到宽阔之地; 你必死在那里, 你那华美的战车也在那里; 你成了你主人之家的耻辱.

22:19 And I will push you from your office, and he will throw you down from your position.
我必革除你的官职, 从你的原位上把你拉下来.

22:20 And this shall happen: On that day I will call to my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
到那日, 我必召希勒家的儿子, 就是我的仆人以利亚敬来,

22:21 and I will clothe him with your tunic, and I will bind your sash firmly about him, and I will put your authority into his hand, and he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
我会把你的外袍给他穿, 把你的腰带给他系紧, 把你的权柄交在他的手中; 他要作耶路撒冷的居民和犹大家的父.

22:22 And I will put the key of the house of David on his shoulder, and he shall open and no one will be able to shut; and he shall shut and no one will be able to open.
我必把大卫家的钥匙放在他肩头上; 他开了, 就没有人能关; 他关了, 就没有人能开.

22:23 And I will drive him in like a peg into a secure place, and he will become like a throne of glory to the house of his father.
我必坚立他, 像钉子钉在稳固的地方; 他必作父家荣耀的宝座.

22:24 And they will hang all of the heaviness of his father’s house on him, the offspring and the offshoot, all of the small vessels, from the bowls to the jars.
他父家所有的荣耀, 他的儿女和子孙以及各样小器皿, 从碗子到瓶子, 都挂在他身上.

22:25 On that day, declares Yahweh of hosts, the peg that was driven will move away into a secure place, and it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on her will be cut off. For Yahweh has spoken.’ ”
万军之耶和华说: ‘到那日, 那钉在稳固地方的钉子必垂下来, 被砍断坠落; 那挂在上面的担子必被砍掉, 因为这是耶和华说的. ’”

关于推罗的默示: 他施的船只啊, 要哀号! 因为推罗被毁灭了, 再没有房屋, 也不能再作港口, 这消息是他们从塞浦路斯地得来的.

在大水之上, 西曷的谷物,尼罗河的庄稼, 都是推罗的收益, 推罗成了列国的市场.

23:4 Be ashamed, Sidon, for the sea, the fortress of the sea said, saying, “I was not in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not reared young men, brought up young women.”
西顿啊, 要惭愧! 因为大海说过, 就是海上的保障说过: “我没有受过产痛, 也没有生产; 我没有养大过男孩, 也没有抚养过童女. ”

23:8 Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, her traders the honored ones of the earth?
谁策划这事来攻击推罗呢? 它本是赐人冠冕的城, 它的商人是王子, 它的商贾是世上的尊贵人.

这是万军之耶和华所定的旨意, 要凌辱那些因荣美而有狂傲, 使地上所有的尊贵人被藐视.

他又说: “受压制的西顿居民哪, 你们不再有欢乐了! 起来, 过到塞浦路斯去! 就是在那里, 你们也得不到安息. ”

23:13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans! This people no longer exists. Assyria destined it for wild animals. They erected its siege towers; they demolished its citadel fortresses. It made her like a ruin.
看哪! 使推罗成为旷野, 走兽居住之处的, 是来自迦勒底地的人, 而不是亚述人; 他们要筑起攻城的高塔, 拆毁推罗的城堡, 使它成为废墟.

23:14 Wail, ships of Tarshish! For your fortress is destroyed.
他施的船只啊, 要哀号! 因为你们的保障已被毁灭了.

到那日, 推罗必被忘记七十年, 正如一个王朝的年日; 七十年后, 推罗必像妓女所唱之歌:

23:16 “Take a harp, go around the city, forgotten prostitute! Do it well, playing a stringed instrument! Make numerous songs, that you may be remembered.”
“你被遗忘的妓女啊! 拿起琴来, 走遍全城吧. 你要巧弹多唱, 使人再想起你! ”

23:17 And this shall happen: at the end of seventy years, Yahweh will visit Tyre, and she will return to her harlot’s wages, and she will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
七十年后, 耶和华必眷顾推罗, 推罗就恢复繁荣, 可以与地上的万国交易.

23:18 And this shall happen: her merchandise and her harlot’s wages will be set apart for Yahweh; it will not be stored up, and it will not be hoarded, but her merchandise will be for those who live before the presence of Yahweh, for eating to satiation and for fine clothing.
它的货财和所得的利益要分别为圣归给耶和华, 必不会积聚或储藏起来; 因为它的货财必归给那些住在耶和华面前的人, 使他们吃得饱足, 穿得漂亮.

28:7 And these also stagger because of wine and stagger because of strong drink; priest and prophet stagger because of strong drink; they are confused because of wine. They stagger because of strong drink; they err in vision. They stagger in the rendering of a decision,
就是这地的人, 也因酒摇晃不定, 因浓酒东倒西歪; 祭司和先知都因浓酒摇晃不定, 被酒弄至昏乱, 因浓酒东倒西歪. 他们见异象的时候, 摇晃不定, 他们判断的时候, 也颠颠倒倒.

28:8 for all the tables are full of disgusting vomit, with no place left.
因为各席上都满了污秽的呕吐, 没有一处是干净的.

28:9 To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from milk, those taken from the breast?
他们说: “他要把知识教导谁呢? 要使谁明白他所传的信息呢? 是那些刚断奶, 刚离开母怀的吗?

28:10 For it is blah-blah upon blah-blah, blah-blah upon blah-blah, gah-gah upon gah-gah, gah-gah upon gah-gah, a little here, a little there.
因为他所说的, 只是些重复又重复的话, 和毫无意义的字母, 这里一点, 那里一点罢了. ”

28:11 For he will speak with stammering and another tongue to this people,
耶和华要借着外族人的嘴唇和外族人的舌头, 对这人民说话.

28:12 to whom he has said, “This is rest; give rest to the weary; and this is repose”; yet they were not willing to hear.
他曾对他们说: “这就是安息之处, 你们若使疲乏的人得安息, 就必得着这安歇的地方. ”但他们不肯听从.

28:13 And to them the word of Yahweh will be blah-blah upon blah-blah blah-blah upon blah-blah gah-gah upon gah-gah gah-gah upon gah-gah, a little here, a little there, so that they may go and stumble backward and be broken and ensnared and captured.
所以耶和华对他们所说的话, 就成了重复又重复的话, 和毫无意义的字母, 这里一点, 那里一点, 以致他们虽然往前走, 却必仰面跌倒, 并且跌伤, 陷入网罗被缠住.

28:14 Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, men of mockery, rulers of these people in Jerusalem:
因此好讥笑人的人哪! 就是管辖这些在耶路撒冷的人民的, 你们要听耶和华的话.

28:15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol. The overwhelming flood, when it passes through, will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves in falsehood.”
因为你们曾说: “我们与死亡立了约, 与阴间结了盟; 刑罚的鞭子扫过的时候, 必不会碰到我们, 因为我们以谎言作遮蔽, 以虚假作庇护. ”

28:16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: “Look! I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a founded foundation: ‘The one who trusts will not panic.’
所以主耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我在锡安放置一块石头, 是试验过的石头, 是稳固的基石, 宝贵的房角石; 信靠的人, 必不着急.

28:17 And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line; and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will flood over the hiding place.
我要以公平为准绳, 以公义为线铊; 冰雹必把谎言的遮蔽冲去, 大水必漫过庇护所. ”

28:18 And your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; you will become a trampling place for the overwhelming flood when it passes through.
你们与死亡所立的约要废除, 你们与阴间所结的盟必立不住; 刑罚的鞭子扫过的时候, 你们就必被践踏.

28:19 As often as it passes through, it will take you, for morning by morning it will pass through, in the day and in the night, and understanding the message will be only terror.”
每次扫过的时候, 都把你们抓去; 因为每早晨它必漫过, 白天与黑夜也是这样; 人若明白所传的, 必受惊恐.

28:20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the covering is too narrow when wrapping oneself.
床铺太短, 人就不能伸直, 被窝太窄, 就盖不住全身.

28:21 For Yahweh will rise up as at Mount Perazim; he will rave as in the valley at Gibeon to do his deed—his deed is strange— and to work his work—his work is alien!
耶和华必像在毗拉心山一样兴起, 又像在基遍谷一样发怒, 为要作成他的工, 他那奇妙的工, 好成就他的事, 就是奇异的事.

28:22 And now you must not scoff, or your bonds will be strong, for I have heard from the Lord, Yahweh of hosts: complete destruction decreed upon all the land.
现在, 你们不可再讥笑了, 免得捆绑你们的绳索绑得更紧, 因为我从主万军之耶和华那里听到, 决定要在全地上施行毁灭的事.

28:23 Listen, and hear my voice! Listen attentively, and hear my word!
你们要侧耳听我的声音, 留心听我的话.

28:24 Is it all day that the plowman plows, opens to sow seed, harrows his ground?
农夫怎会不断耕犁来撒种呢? 他怎会常常开垦耕地呢?

28:25 When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter dill, and sow cumin seed, and plant wheat in planted rows, and barley in an appointed place, and spelt grain as its border?
他犁平了地面, 不就撒种小茴香, 播种大茴香, 按行列种小麦, 在指定的地方种大麦, 在田边种粗麦吗?

28:26 And his God instructs him about the prescription; he teaches him.
因为他的神教导他, 指教他正确的方法.

28:27 For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a wheel of a utility cart rolled over cumin, but dill is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
打小茴香是不用尖耙的, 轧大茴香也不用碾轮; 而是用杖打小茴香, 用棍打大茴香.

28:28 Grain is crushed fine, but certainly one does not thresh it forever; and one drives the wheel of his cart, but his horses do not crush it.
做饼的谷粒怎么要碾碎的呢? 从来没有人碾碎它们, 虽然他让车轮和马匹辊过谷粒, 却不会把他们碾碎.

28:29 This also comes forth from Yahweh of hosts. He is wonderful in advice; he makes great wisdom.
这也是出于万军之耶和华, 他的谋略奇妙, 他的智慧广大.

Isaiah - Chapter 29

29:1 Ah! Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year, let festivals recur.
亚利伊勒,亚利伊勒(“亚利伊勒”意即“祭坛的炉”, 代表耶路撒冷), 大卫曾在此安营的城啊, 有祸了! 虽然你一年又一年按时举行节期,

29:2 Yet I will inflict Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation, and it shall be to me like an altar hearth.
我却要使亚利伊勒受困苦, 成了一座充满悲伤哀号的城, 我要以它为亚利伊勒.

29:3 And I will encamp in a circle against you, and I will lay siege to you with towers and I will raise up siegeworks against you.
我必四面安营攻击你, 筑起攻城的台来围困你, 堆起高垒攻击你.

29:4 Then you shall be low; you shall speak from the earth, and your words will be low, from dust. And your voice will be from the earth, like a ghost, and your word will whisper from the dust.
你必降低, 从地中说话; 你说的话必细微, 如同出于尘土; 你的声音必像交鬼者的声音, 从地里出来; 你的言语必像耳语般低微, 如同出于尘土.

29:5 But the multitude of your strangers shall be like fine dust, and the multitude of tyrants like chaff that passes by. And it will happen in an instant, suddenly.
但你敌人的数量必多如灰尘, 那些强暴者的数量也多如被吹散的糠秕, 这必在顷刻之间, 突然发生.

29:6 You will be punished by Yahweh of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great sound, storm wind and tempest and the flame of a devouring fire.
万军之耶和华必用雷轰,地震,大声,旋风,暴风和吞灭人的火焰来惩罚他们.

29:7 And the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, all those who fight against her and her stronghold, and those who inflict her shall be like a dream, a vision of the night.
那时, 所有攻击亚利伊勒的列国众军, 就是所有攻击亚利伊勒和它的堡垒, 以及迫害它的, 必如梦景, 如夜间的异象.

29:8 And it shall be as when the hungry person dreams—look, he is eating! And he wakes up and his inner self is empty. Or as when the thirsty person dreams—look, he is drinking! And he wakes up and look, he is faint, and his inner self is longing for water. So shall be the multitude of all the nations who fight against Mount Zion.
又像饥饿的人在梦中吃饭, 醒了以后, 仍然觉得饥饿; 又像口渴的人在梦中喝水, 醒了以后, 仍然觉得口渴, 心里还是想喝. 那攻打锡安山的列国众军, 也必这样.

29:9 Be astonished and be amazed! Blind yourselves and be blinded! They are drunk but not from wine; they stagger but not from strong drink.
你们留连吧, 自我蒙蔽, 继续盲目吧! 你们醉了, 却与酒无关, 你们东倒西歪, 也不是因为浓酒的缘故.

29:10 For Yahweh has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and he has shut your eyes, the prophets, and he has covered your heads, the seers.
因为耶和华把沉睡的灵, 倾倒在你们身上; 他紧闭你们的眼, 就是先知; 蒙盖你们的头, 就是先见.

29:11 And the vision of all this has become for you like the words of a sealed document. When they give it to one who knows the document, saying, “Read this now!” He says, “I am not able, for it is sealed.”
对你们来说, 整个异象就像密封的书卷的话, 人把这书卷交给识字的, 说: “请念吧! ”他必回答: “我不能念, 因为它是密封的. ”

29:12 And if the document is given to one who does not know how to read, saying, “Read this now!” he says, “I do not know how to read.”
人又把这书卷交给不识字的人, 说: “请念吧! ”他必回答: “我不识字. ”

29:13 And the Lord said, “Because this people draw near with its mouth, and with its lips it honors me, and its heart is far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men that has been taught,
主说: “因为这子民只用言语来亲近我, 用嘴唇尊崇我, 他们的心却远离我. 他们对我的敬畏, 只是遵从传统的吩咐.

29:14 therefore look, I am again doing something spectacular and a spectacle with this spectacular people. And the wisdom of its wise men shall perish, and the discernment of its discerning ones shall keep itself hidden.”
因此, 看哪! 我要再向这子民施行奇事, 就是奇妙又奇妙的事; 他们智慧人的智慧必要消没, 他们聪明人的聪明必被隐藏. ”

29:15 Ah! Those who make a plan deep, to hide it from Yahweh, and their deeds are in a dark place. And they say, “Who sees us? And who knows us?”
那些向耶和华深藏谋略的人, 有祸了! 他们在暗中行事, 说: “谁看见我们? 谁知道我们? ”

29:16 Your perversity! As if a potter shall be regarded as the clay! That the product of its maker says, “He did not make me,” and the thing made into shape says of its potter, “He has no understanding.”
你们颠倒事理了! 窑匠怎能被看作泥土呢? 被造的怎能对造它的说: “他没有造我”? 制成品怎可对制成它的说: “他不聪明”?

29:17 In a very little while shall not Lebanon change into a fruitful land, and the fruitful land be regarded as a forest?
不是还有一点点的时候, 黎巴嫩就要变为肥田, 肥田就要被看为树林吗?

29:18 And on that day, the deaf shall hear the words of a scroll, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of gloom and darkness.
到那日, 聋子必听见这书卷上的话; 瞎子的眼, 必在迷蒙黑暗中也能看见.

29:19 And the meek have joy after joy in Yahweh, and the needy of the people shall rejoice in the holy one of Israel.
困苦的必因耶和华增添喜乐; 贫穷的人必因以色列的圣者而快乐.

29:20 For the tyrant shall be no more, and the scoffer shall come to an end. And all those lying in wait for evil shall be cut off;
因为强暴人归于无有, 好讥笑人的必被灭绝; 所有意图行恶的, 必被剪除.

29:21 those who mislead a person into sin with a word and set a trap for the arbitrator in the gate and guide away the righteous by emptiness.
他们只用一句话就定了人的罪, 又设下网罗来陷害城门口那执行裁判的, 用毫无根据的事屈枉义人.

29:22 Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says this to the house of Jacob: “Jacob will no longer be ashamed, and his face will no longer grow pale.
因此, 曾经救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华, 论到雅各家时, 这样说: “雅各今后必不再羞愧, 他的脸容也不再变为苍白,

29:23 For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will treat my name as holy, and they will treat the holy one of Jacob as holy, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
因为他看见了他的子孙在他中间, 就是我手所作的. 他们必尊我的名为圣, 必尊雅各的圣者为圣, 也必敬畏以色列的神.

29:24 And those who err in spirit will acquire understanding, and those who grumble will learn instruction.
那些心中迷惑的, 必明白真理, 那些发怨言的, 必接受教训. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 30

30:1 “Oh rebellious children!” declares Yahweh, “to make a plan, but not from me, and pour out a libation, but not from my Spirit, so as to add sin to sin.
耶和华说: “这些悖逆的儿女有祸了! 他们实行计谋, 却不是出于我的意思, 他们结盟, 却不是出于我的灵, 以致罪上加罪.

30:2 Who go to go down to Egypt, but they do not ask of my mouth, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
他们起程下埃及去, 并没有求问我, 却要在法老的保护下, 作避难处, 投靠在埃及的荫庇下.

30:3 And the protection of Pharaoh shall be shame to you, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, humiliation.
因此, 法老的保护必成为你们的羞耻, 投靠在埃及的荫庇下, 变成你们的耻辱.

30:4 For his officials are at Zoan, and his envoys reach to Hanes.
他们的领袖虽然已在琐安, 他们的使臣虽然已到达哈内斯,

30:5 Everyone will start to stink because of a people that cannot profit them, not for help and not for profiting, but for shame and also for disgrace.”
但他们都必因那对于他们毫无利益的人民而蒙羞, 那人民带来的不是帮助或益处, 而是羞耻和凌辱. ”

30:6 An oracle of the animals of the Negev: Through a land of trouble and distress, of lioness and lion, among them are snake and flying serpent; they carry their wealth on the backs of male donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them.
以下是论南地野兽的默示: 他们把财富驮在驴驹的背上, 把宝物驮在骆驼的峰上, 经过艰难困苦之地, 就是公狮,母狮,蝮蛇和会飞的火蛇出没的地方, 到一个对他们毫无益处的民族那里去.

30:7 For Egyptians help with vanity and emptiness, therefore I have called this one “Rahab, they are sitting.”
埃及的帮助是徒然的, 是虚幻的, 因此我称它为“坐而不动的拉哈伯”.

30:8 Now go, write it on a tablet with them, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come, forever, forever.
现在你去, 在他们面前把这话刻在版上, 记在书卷上, 作日后的证据, 直到永永远远.

30:9 For it is a people of rebellion, deceitful children, children who are not willing to hear the instruction of Yahweh,
因为这是悖逆的子民, 不忠心的儿女, 不肯听从耶和华教导的儿女.

30:10 who say to those who do see, “You must not see!” and to the seers, “You must not see truth for us; speak smooth things to us, see illusions,
他们对先见说: “你们不要再看异象! ”又对先知说: “你们不要再向我说真确的预言! 倒要向我说动听的话, 预言虚幻的事吧!

30:11 turn aside from the way, turn aside from the path, put an end to the holy one of Israel from our face.”
你们要离开正道, 转离义路, 不要在我们面前再提以色列的圣者了! ”

30:12 Therefore the holy one of Israel says this: “Because you are rejecting this word and you trust in oppression and cunning and you rely on it,
因此, 以色列的圣者这样说: “因为你们弃绝了这话, 反而信赖欺压和乖僻的手段, 更以此为倚靠,

30:13 therefore this iniquity shall come for you like a breach about to fall, bulging out on a high wall that breaks suddenly, in an instant.
所以这罪孽对于你们, 必像一道有了裂缝, 且凸了出来, 快要倒塌的高墙, 在顷刻之间, 就突然倒塌.

30:14 And he breaks it like a vessel of a potter breaks, that is crushed; he has no compassion, and no potsherd is found among its fragments to take fire from the hearth, or to skim water from the cistern.”
它的倒塌好像窑匠的瓦器破碎一般, 毫不顾惜被彻底粉碎, 甚至在碎块中找不到一块, 可以用来从炉里取火, 或从池中舀水. ”

30:15 For the Lord Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, said this: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; your strength shall be in quietness and in trust.” But you were not willing,
因为主耶和华以色列的圣者这样说: “你们得救在于悔改和安息, 你们得力在于平静和信靠. ”但你们竟不愿意.

30:16 and you said, “No! For we will flee on horses!” Therefore you shall flee! And, “We will ride on swift horses!” Therefore your pursuers shall be swift!
你们却说: “不! 我们要骑马奔跑. ”所以你们真的要逃跑; 你们又说: “我们要骑快马. ”所以那些追赶你们的, 也必快速!

30:17 One thousand because of a threat of one, because of a threat of five you shall flee, until you are left like a flagstaff on top of a mountain, and like a signal on a hill.
一个敌人就可以威吓你们一千个人, 若五个敌人威吓你们, 你们都要逃跑了! 以致你们所剩下的, 必孤立如同山顶上的旗杆, 冈陵上的旗帜.

30:18 Therefore Yahweh waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he will rise up to show you mercy, for Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
因此, 耶和华必等候要恩待你们; 他必兴起来怜悯你们, 因为耶和华是公义的神. 等候他的, 都是有福的.

30:19 For people will live in Zion; in Jerusalem, you will surely not weep. Surely he will be gracious to you; when he hears the sound of your cry, he will answer you.
锡安的人民,耶路撒冷的居民哪! 你们必不再哭泣. 他必因你哀求的声音恩待你; 他听见的时候, 就必应允你.

30:20 And the Lord will give you the bread of distress and the water of oppression, but your teachers will not hide themselves any longer. And your eyes shall see your teachers.
主虽然以艰难给你们当食物, 以困迫给你们当水, 但你的教师必不再隐藏; 你必亲眼看见你的教师.

30:21 And your ears shall hear a word from behind you, saying, “this is the way; walk in it,” when you go to your right and when you go to your left.
每当你偏左或偏右的时候, 你必听见后面有声音说: “这是正路, 要行在其中! ”

30:22 And you will defile the plating of your silver idols and the covering of your gold image. You will scatter them like contaminated things; you will say to it, “Filth!”
你要拋弃你那些包着银的雕像和镀了金的铸像, 如同污秽之物一般拋弃它们, 又对它们说: “去吧! ”

30:23 And he will give rain for your seed with which you sow the ground, and grain, the produce of the ground, and it will be rich and fertile. On that day, your cattle will graze in broad pastures;
你撒在地里的种子, 主必降雨在其上, 并且使你地里所出产的粮食, 既丰盛又肥美. 到那日, 你的牲畜必在宽阔的草场上吃草.

30:24 and the oxen and the donkeys that till the ground will eat fodder, sorrel that has been winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
耕地的牛和驴驹必吃加盐的饲料, 就是用铲和叉所扬净的.

30:25 And there will be streams on every high mountain and elevated hill, watercourses of water, on a day of great slaughter, when towers fall.
在大行杀戮的日子, 高台倒塌的时候, 各高山冈陵都必有溪水涌流.

30:26 And the light of the full moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, on the day when Yahweh binds up the breakage of his people, and he heals the wound of his blow.
耶和华包扎他子民的伤口, 医治他们伤痕的日子, 月亮的光必像太阳的光; 太阳的光必增加七倍, 像七日的光一样.

30:27 Look! The name of Yahweh comes from afar, burning with his anger and heaviness of cloud. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
看哪! 耶和华的名从远方而来, 他的怒气烧起, 浓烟上腾; 他的嘴唇充满忿怒, 他的舌头像吞灭的火.

30:28 And his breath is like an overflowing river; it reaches up to the neck to shake the nations with the sieve of worthlessness; and a bridle that leads astray is on the jawbones of the peoples.
他的气息如涨溢的河水, 直涨到颈项, 并要用毁灭的筛把列国筛净, 又在众民口中放入使人步向灭亡的嚼环.

30:29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept, and a gladness of heart like one who goes with the flute, to go to the mountain of Yahweh, to the rock of Israel.
你们却必歌唱, 好像守圣节的夜间一样; 你们必心里喜乐, 好像吹着笛行走的人, 必上耶和华的山, 到以色列的磐石那里.

30:30 And Yahweh will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and he will cause the descent of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and a rainstorm and stones of hail.
耶和华必使人听见他威严的声音, 在烈怒,吞灭一切火焰,大雨,暴风和冰雹之中, 又使人看见他那降下来的膀臂.

30:31 Indeed, Assyria will be shattered by the voice of Yahweh; he strikes with the rod.
亚述人必因耶和华的声音惊惶; 耶和华要用杖击打他们.

30:32 And every stroke of the staff of foundation that Yahweh lays will be on it with timbrels and lyres, and he will fight against it with battles of brandishing.
耶和华必把刑罚的杖加在他们身上, 每打一下, 都有击鼓和弹琴的声音; 耶和华在争战的时候, 必挥动着手与他们争战.

30:33 For Topheth has been prepared from yesterday; indeed, it is made ready for the king. He makes its pile of wood deep and wide; he makes fire and wood abundant. The breath of Yahweh burns in it like a stream of sulfur.
因为陀斐特那烧着的火早已安排好了, 是为君王预备的, 又深又宽; 其中所堆的, 是火和许多的柴; 耶和华的气像一股硫磺火, 把它燃点起来.

Isaiah - Chapter 31

31:1 Ah! Those who go down to Egypt for help! They rely on horses and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very numerous, and they do not look to the holy one of Israel, and they do not consult Yahweh.
那些下埃及求帮助, 倚靠马匹, 倚靠众多战车, 依靠十分强壮的马兵, 却不仰望以色列的圣者, 也不求问耶和华的, 有祸了!

31:2 And indeed, he is wise, and he brings disaster, and he does not remove his words, and he will rise against the house of evildoers and against the help of workers of iniquity.
耶和华是智慧的, 他必降下灾祸, 决不收回自己的话, 却要起来攻击作恶者之家, 又攻击那些助人作孽的.

31:3 And the Egyptians are human and not God, and their horses are flesh and not spirit. And Yahweh stretches out his hand, and the helper will stumble, and the one being helped will fall, and together all of them will come to an end.
埃及人是人, 并不是神; 他们的马匹是血肉, 并不是灵; 耶和华一伸手, 那帮助人的就绊倒, 那受帮助的也必仆倒, 并且一同灭亡.

31:4 For Yahweh said this to me: “As which a lion growls and a young lion over its prey when a full group of shepherds is called against him, it is not terrified by their voice, and to their noise it does not respond, so Yahweh of hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon its hill.
因为耶和华对我这样说: “狮子和少壮狮子怎样因捕获猎物而咆哮, 虽然召集了许多的牧人来攻击它们, 它们并不因他们的声音而惊慌, 也不因他们的喧嚷而蹲伏; 照样, 万军之耶和华必降临在锡安山和它的冈陵上争战. ”

31:5 Like birds flying overhead, so Yahweh of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it; he will pass over and rescue it.
雀鸟怎样搧翅护雏, 万军之耶和华也必照样保护耶路撒冷, 他必保护和拯救, 他必越过和搭救.

31:6 Turn back to the one against whom the sons of Israel have made deep rebellion.
以色列人哪! 你们是要回转, 归向那曾被你们彻底背弃的耶和华.

31:7 For on that day, each one will reject his idols of silver and his idols of gold which your hands have made in sin for you.
到那日, 各人都必拋弃自己的金偶像和银偶像, 就是你们亲手所做, 把自己陷在罪中的.

31:8 And Assyria shall fall by a sword not of a man, and a sword not of a human shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be put to forced labor.
亚述人必倒在刀下, 不是人的刀; 必有刀把他们吞灭, 也不是人的刀. 他们必不能逃避刀剑, 他们的年轻人必作苦工.

31:9 And his rock will pass over because of terror, and his officers will be terrified because of the flag,” declares Yahweh, who has a fire in Zion and has a furnace in Jerusalem.
他们的磐石必因惊慌而挪去, 他们的领袖必因见到以色列的旗帜而惊惶. 这是那有火在锡安, 有炉在耶路撒冷的耶和华说的.

Isaiah - Chapter 32

32:1 See, a king will rule according to righteousness, and princes will rule according to justice.
看哪! 必有一王凭公义执政, 必有众领袖按公平治理.

32:2 And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind and a covering from the rainstorm, like streams of water in a dry region, like the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
必有一人像避风所, 和避暴雨的隐密处, 像干旱之地的溪水, 又像疲乏之地的磐石阴影.

32:3 And the eyes of those who see will not gaze, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
那时, 能看见事物者的眼睛, 必不再昏暗; 能听到事物者的耳朵, 必然倾听.

32:4 And the minds of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongues of stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
性急者的心必明白知识, 口吃者的舌头必说话清楚.

32:5 A fool will no longer be called noble, and a scoundrel will not be said to be eminent.
愚顽人不再被称为高尚, 恶棍也不再被称为大方.

32:6 For a fool speaks folly, and his mind does iniquity: to behave wickedly, and to speak error concerning Yahweh, to leave the throat of the hungry empty, and he deprives the thirsty of drink.
因为愚顽人说的是愚顽话, 他心里所想的是罪孽, 惯行亵渎神的事, 说错谬的话攻击耶和华, 使饥饿的人仍空着肚子, 使口渴的人仍无水可喝.

32:7 And a scoundrel, his weapons are evil; he plans evil devices to ruin the poor with words of deception even when the speech of the needy is right.
至于恶棍, 他的手段是邪恶的, 他图谋恶计, 用虚假的言语毁灭困苦的人, 即使在穷乏人讲公理的时候, 他也是这样.

32:8 But the nobleman plans noble things, and he stands upon noble things.
高尚的人却筹谋高尚的事, 他也必坚持这些高尚的事.

32:9 Women who are at ease, rise up; hear my voice! Carefree daughters, listen to my word!
安逸的妇女啊! 你们要起来, 听我的声音; 无忧无虑的女子啊! 你们要侧耳听我的话.

32:10 In a year you will tremble, carefree ones, for the vintage will come to an end; the harvest will not come.
无忧无虑的女子啊! 再过一年多, 你们就必受困扰, 因为没有葡萄可摘, 收禾稼的日子也没有来.

32:11 Tremble, you who are at ease; tremble, carefree ones; strip, and strip yourself, and gird yourself on your loins,
安逸的妇女啊! 你们要受震惊. 无忧无虑的女子啊! 你们要受困扰了, 脱去衣服, 赤着身子, 以麻布束腰吧.

32:12 mourning over breasts, over fields of delight, over the fruitful vine,
你们要为美好的田地和多结果子的葡萄树捶胸哀哭.

32:13 over the soil of my people. It goes up in thorns and briers, indeed over all of the houses of joy in the jubilant city.
也为那些在我子民的土地上长起来的荆棘和蒺藜而哀哭, 为那欢乐的城和所有快乐的房屋, 也是这样.

32:14 For the palace will be forsaken, the crowded city deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become a cave forever, the joy of wild asses, a pasture for flocks.
因为宫殿必被丢弃, 热闹的城市也被撇下, 山冈和守望楼必永远成为洞穴, 作了野驴喜欢的地方和羊群的草场.

32:15 Until a spirit is poured out on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is reckoned as the forest.
等到圣灵从高处倾倒在我们身上, 旷野变为肥田, 肥田被看为树林的时候,

32:16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.

32:19 And it hails when the forest comes down, and the city will become low in humiliation.
但在敌人的国土中, 必有冰雹降下, 打倒他们的树林, 他们的城必被夷平.

32:20 Happy are you who sow by all waters, who let the foot of the ox and the donkey go free.
你们这些在各水边撒种, 又使牛驴随意走动的, 是多么有福啊!

Isaiah - Chapter 33

你要看着锡安, 就是我们举行制定节期的城, 你必看见耶路撒冷, 是一个安全的居所, 一个不挪移的帐幕, 它的橛子永不会拔起来, 它的绳索也不会扯断.

33:21 Rather, there Yahweh will be mighty for us, a place of rivers and broad streams, a galley ship with oars cannot go in it, and a mighty ship cannot pass through it.
在那里, 威严的耶和华必作我们江河宽渠溢流之地. 必没有荡桨摇橹的船只能在其上往来, 威武的战船也不能经过.

昼夜不熄, 烟气永远上腾, 并且必世世代代变为荒凉, 永永远远无人经过.

Isaiah - Chapter 36

36:1 And this happened: In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria went up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and he captured them.
希西家王十四年, 亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大所有的坚固城, 并且把城攻取.

36:2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a large army, and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the field of the washer.
亚述王从拉吉差派拉伯沙基, 带领大军往耶路撒冷, 到希西家王那里去. 他站在上池的水沟旁, 就是在往漂布地之大路上的时候,

36:3 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace, came out to him, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the reminder.
希勒家的儿子管家以利亚敬,书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚, 都出来见他.

36:4 And Rabshakeh said to them, “Now say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What is this confidence in which you trust?
拉伯沙基对他们说: “你们去对希西家说: ‘亚述大王这样说: 你所倚靠的算得是什么倚靠呢?

36:5 I said, ‘Only a word of lips! War has power and a plan!’ Now, in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
我说: 你打仗所用的谋略和能力, 不过是虚话罢了. 你到底倚靠谁, 以致你背叛我呢?

36:6 Look, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, which if a man leans on it, goes into his hand and bores through it! Such is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all those who trust in him.
看哪! 你所倚靠的埃及, 是那压伤的芦苇杖; 人若倚靠它, 它就会插进他的手, 把手刺透. 埃及王法老对所有倚靠他的人, 也是这样.

36:7 And if you say to me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God,’ was it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed? And he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall bow down in the presence of this altar.’ ”
你若对我说: 我们倚靠耶和华我们的神, 这神所有的邱坛和祭坛岂不是都给希西家废去了, 他还对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说: 你们只要在这祭坛面前敬拜吗?

36:8 And now please make a wager with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, that is, if you are able put riders for yourself on them!
现在你可以与我的主人亚述王打赌: 我给你二千匹马, 看你这一方面能否派出足够骑马的人来.

36:9 But how can you drive back one governor among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
若不能, 你怎能击退我主的臣仆中最小的军长呢? 你竟倚靠埃及的战车和马兵吗?

36:10 And now was it without Yahweh that I have come up against this land to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, “Go up against this land and destroy it!” ’ ”
现在, 我上来攻打这地, 要把这地毁灭, 岂没有耶和华的意思吗? 耶和华曾对我说: 你要上去攻打这地, 把它毁灭. ’”

36:11 And Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we can understand it, and you must not speak to us in Judean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
以利亚敬,舍伯那和约亚对拉伯沙基说: “请你用亚兰语对你的仆人说话, 因为我们听得懂; 不要用犹大语对我们说话, 免得城墙上的人民听见. ”

36:12 But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me to speak these words to your masters and you? Was it not for the people who sit on the wall, to eat their dung and drink their urine with you?”
但拉伯沙基说: “我主差派我来, 只是对你和你的主说这些话吗? 不也是对那些坐在城墙上, 要和你们一同吃自己的粪,喝自己的尿的人说吗? ”

36:13 Then Rabshakeh stood and called in a great voice in Judean and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
于是拉伯沙基站着, 用犹大语大声呼喊说: “你们要听亚述大王的话,

36:14 Thus says the king: ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you!
王这样说: ‘你们不要被希西家欺骗了, 因为他决不能拯救你们;

36:15 And do not let Hezekiah make you rely on Yahweh, saying, “Surely Yahweh will deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria!”
也不要给希西家说服你们倚靠耶和华, 说: 耶和华必定拯救我们, 这城也必不交在亚述王的手中. ’

36:16 You must not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria: “Make a blessing with me, and come out to me, and each one will eat from his vine and from his fig tree and drink water from his cistern,
不要听希西家的话, 因为亚述王这样说: ‘你们要与我和好, 出来向我投降, 这样各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子, 也可以喝自己井里的水;

36:17 until I come and take you to a land like your land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards,
等到我来的时候, 就会把你们领到一个与你们本地一样的地方; 就是一个有五谷和新酒的地方, 一个有粮食和葡萄园的地方.

36:18 lest Hezekiah mislead you, saying, ‘Yahweh will save us!’ Did the gods of the nations each save his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
你们要小心, 免得希西家怂恿你们说: 耶和华必拯救我们. 列国的神有哪一位曾拯救自己的国土脱离亚述王的手呢?

36:19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
哈马和亚珥拔的神在哪里呢? 西法瓦音的神在哪里呢? 他们曾拯救撒玛利亚脱离我的手吗?

36:20 Who are there among all the gods of these countries who have saved their land from my hand, that Yahweh should save Jerusalem from my hand?” ’ ”
这些国所有的神中, 有哪一位曾拯救自己的国土脱离我的手呢? 难道耶和华能拯救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗? ’”

36:21 But they were silent and did not answer him a word, for the command of the king was, “You must not answer him.”
众人都默不作声, 一句话也没有回答他, 因为王的吩咐说: “不要回答他. ”

36:22 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the palace, Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the reminder, came to Hezekiah with torn garments and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
于是希勒家的儿子管家以利亚敬,书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚, 都撕裂衣服, 来到希西家面前, 把拉伯沙基的话告诉了他.

Isaiah - Chapter 37

37:1 And this happened: When King Hezekiah heard, he tore his garments, covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the temple of Yahweh.
希西家王听见了, 就撕裂衣服, 披上麻布, 进了耶和华的殿.

他差派管家以利亚敬,书记舍伯那和祭司中的长老, 都披上麻布, 去见亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知.

37:3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: ‘This day is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace, for children have come to the cervical opening, and there is no strength to give birth.
他们对他说: “希西家这样说: ‘今日是急难,责罚和凌辱的日子, 就像婴孩快要出生的时候, 却没有气力生出来一样.

37:4 Maybe Yahweh your God heard the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to taunt the living God, and he will rebuke the words that Yahweh your God hears. And you must lift up a prayer for the benefit of the remnant that is found.’ ”
也许耶和华你的神听见拉伯沙基的话, 就是他的主人亚述王派他来辱骂永活的神的话; 耶和华你的神会因他所听见的话斥责他; 因此, 求你为余剩下来的人献上祷告. ’”

37:5 When the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
希西家王的臣仆就去见以赛亚,

37:6 Isaiah said to them, “You must say this to your master: ‘Thus says Yahweh: “You must not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
以赛亚对他们说: “要对你们的主人这样说: ‘耶和华这样说: 你不要因为听见亚述王的仆人亵渎我的话而害怕.

37:7 Look! I am about to put a spirit in him so that he shall hear a rumor and he shall return to his land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his land.” ’ ”
看哪! 我必使灵进入他里面, 以致他听见风声就归回本地; 我必使他在那里倒在刀下. ’”

37:8 And Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that he had left from Lachish.
拉伯沙基回去的时候, 正遇见亚述王攻打立拿; 原来他早已听闻亚述王拔营离开了拉吉.

37:9 Now he heard concerning Tirhakah the king of Cush, saying, “He has set out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
亚述王听到关于古实王特哈加的报告说: “他出来要与你争战”; 亚述王听见了, 就差派使者去见希西家, 说:

37:10 “You shall say this to Hezekiah, king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust in him deceive you by saying, “Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
“你们要对犹大王希西家这样说: 不要给你所倚靠的神欺骗你说: 耶路撒冷必不交在亚述王的手里.

37:11 Look! you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands to destroy them, and you—shall you be delivered?
你必定听过亚述列王向列国所行的, 就是把她们完全毁灭, 难道你还有救吗?

37:12 Did the gods of the nations that my predecessors destroyed deliver them—Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?
我列祖所毁灭的国, 有歌撒,哈兰,利色和在提．拉撒的伊甸人, 这些国的神曾拯救她们吗?

37:13 Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, or Ivvah?’ ”
哈马的王,亚珥拔的王,西法瓦音城的王,希拿和以瓦的王, 现在都在哪里呢? ”

37:14 And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read it. Then he went up to the temple of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out before the presence of Yahweh.
希西家从使者手里接过信卷, 读完了, 就上耶和华的殿, 在耶和华面前把信卷展开.

37:15 And Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh, saying,
希西家向耶和华祷告说:

37:16 “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel who is enthroned on the cherubim, you are the one, God by yourself, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you are the one who made the heavens and the earth.
“万军之耶和华, 以色列的神, 坐在二基路伯中间的啊! 唯独你是地上万国的神; 你创造了天地.

37:17 Yahweh, extend your ear and hear! Yahweh, open your eyes and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has sent to taunt the living God!
耶和华啊, 求你侧耳而听! 耶和华啊, 求你开眼察看! 要听西拿基立的一切话, 就是那差派使者来辱骂永活的神的.

37:18 Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands and their land,
耶和华啊! 亚述列王果然使列国和他们的土地变成荒凉,

37:19 to set their gods in the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of human hands, wood and stone, and they destroyed them.
又把列国的神都扔进火中; 因为他们不是神, 只是人手所做的, 不过是木头和石头, 所以他们就灭绝了他们.

37:20 So now, Yahweh, our God, save us from his hand so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh, you alone!”
耶和华我们的神啊! 现在求你拯救我们脱离亚述王的手, 使地上万国都知道唯有你耶和华是神. ”

37:21 And Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib, king of Assyria,
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚就派人去见希西家, 说: “耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘因为你向我祷告关于亚述王西拿基立的事,

37:22 this is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him: She shows contempt for you; she derides you, virgin daughter of Zion; she shakes her head behind you, daughter of Jerusalem.
耶和华就有以下的话攻击他, 说: 锡安的处女藐视你, 嗤笑你; 耶路撒冷的女子在你背后摇头.

37:23 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed, and against whom have you raised up your voice and lifted your eyes upward? To the holy one of Israel!
你辱骂谁,亵渎谁? 你扬起声音, 又高举眼目, 要攻击谁? 就是攻击以色列的圣者.

37:24 By the hand of your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said, “With my many chariots, I myself have gone up the height of the mountains, to the remote areas of Lebanon. And I cut off its tall cedars, the choicest of its junipers. And I came to the height of its limit, the forest of its orchard.
你借着你的臣仆辱骂主; 你又说: 我率领我众多的战车上了群山的高峰, 到了黎巴嫩极深之处. 我砍伐其中高大的香柏树和佳美的松树; 我去到极高之处, 进入肥田般的树林.

37:25 I myself dug and drank waters, and I caused all the streams of Egypt to dry up by the sole of my feet.”
我挖井和喝水; 我用我的脚掌踏干埃及的河流. ’

37:26 Have you not heard from a long time ago? I have made it from days of primeval time, and I formed it. Now I have brought it about, and it is for fortified cities to collapse into heaps of destroyed stones.
耶和华说: ‘难道你没有听见古时我所安排, 往昔所计划的吗? 现在我才使它成就, 使坚固的城镇荒废, 变作乱堆.

37:27 And their inhabitants are weak; they are dismayed, and they are ashamed; they have become like plants of the field, and like greens of grass, like grass on the roofs and a cultivated field before the standing grain.
因此, 其中的居民软弱无力, 惊惶羞愧, 像田间的蔬菜和青绿的草, 又像房顶上的草, 还没有长起来, 就干焦了.

37:28 And I know your sitting down and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me.
你坐下, 你出, 你入, 你向我发烈怒, 我都知道.

37:29 Because you were enraged against me, and your noise has come up to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle on your lips, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.
因为你向我发烈怒, 又因你的狂傲达到我耳中, 我要把钩子放进你的鼻孔, 把嚼环放进你的嘴里, 使你从你来的路上回去.

37:30 And this shall be the sign for you: the eating of volunteer plants this year, and in the second year self-seeded plants, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
希西家啊! 这要作你的兆头: 今年你们要吃自生的, 明年还要吃自长的, 后年你们就要撒种, 要收割, 要栽种葡萄园, 吃园中的果子.

37:31 And the remnant of the house of Judah that remain shall grow roots downwards and make fruit upwards.
犹大家所逃脱的余民, 必再向下扎根, 往上结果.

37:32 For a remnant shall go out from Jerusalem and survivors from mountain Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.’
因为余下的人必从耶路撒冷出来, 逃脱的人必从锡安山出来. 万军之耶和华的热心必作成这事. ’

37:33 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He shall not come to this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, and he shall not meet it with a shield, and he shall not heap a siege ramp up against her.
所以耶和华这样论到亚述王, 说: ‘他必不会来到这城, 也不会在这里射箭; 不会拿着盾牌来到城前, 也不会筑土垒攻城.

37:34 He shall return by the way that he came, and he shall not come to this city,’ declares Yahweh.
他从哪条路来, 也必从那条路回去; 他必不得进入这城; 这是耶和华的宣告.

37:35 ‘And I will defend this city, to save it for my sake and for the sake of David, my servant.’ ”
因我为自己的缘故, 又为我仆人大卫的缘故, 必保护这城, 拯救这城. ’”

37:36 And the angel of Yahweh set out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When they rose in the morning, look! All of them were dead corpses.
于是耶和华的使者出去, 在亚述营中击杀了十八万五千人; 到了早晨, 有人起来, 所见的都是死尸.

亚述王西拿基立就拔营离去, 返回本地, 住在尼尼微.

37:38 And this happened: he was bowing in worship in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him with the sword. And they themselves escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-haddon his son reigned as king in his place.
他在自己的神尼斯洛庙里叩拜的时候, 他的儿子亚得米勒和沙利色用刀杀了他, 然后逃到亚拉腊地. 他的儿子以撒哈顿接续他作王.

Isaiah - Chapter 38

那时, 希西家患了重病, 快要死去. 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知来见他, 对他说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你要把你的家整顿妥当, 因为你快要死去, 不能存活. ’”

说: “耶和华啊! 求你记念我在你面前怎样诚诚实实,以纯全的心来行事, 又作你眼中看为善的事. ”然后, 希西家就痛哭起来.

“你去告诉希西家: ‘耶和华你祖先大卫的神这样说: 我听见了你的祷告, 看见了你的眼泪; 看哪! 我必在你的寿数上加添十五年.

我必救你和这城脱离亚述王的手; 我必保护这城. ’

38:7 And this is the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken:
以下就是耶和华给你的兆头, 为要证明耶和华必成全他所说过的.

38:8 Look! I will cause the shadow of the steps, which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, to turn backwards ten steps.” And the sun turned back ten steps on the steps which it had gone down.
看哪! 我要使亚哈斯日晷上那向前进的日影往后退十度. ”于是那向前进的日影, 果然在日晷上往后退了十度.

38:10 I was the one who said, “I must go in the quiet of my days; I am summoned through the gates of Sheol for the rest of my years.”
我曾说: 在我盛年之际, 我竟要进入阴间之门; 我余剩的年日, 竟被夺去.

38:11 I said, “I shall not see Yah! Yah in the land of the living! I shall no more look at humankind among the inhabitants of the world.
我曾说: 在活人之地, 我必不得见耶和华; 在世间的居民中, 我必不再见到任何人.

38:12 My dwelling place is pulled up and removed from me like the tent of my shepherd; I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He cuts me off from the thrum; from day to night you bring me to an end.
我的住处被拔起, 迁离了我, 像牧人的帐棚一样; 我卷起我的性命, 像织布的卷布一样; 他把我从机头剪断; 一日之间, 他必使我生命终结.

38:13 I lie down until morning; like a lion, so he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end.
我不断哀叹, 直到早晨, 他像狮子一般, 折断我所有的骨头; 一日之间, 他必使我生命终结.

38:14 Like a horse or a crane, so I chirp; I moan like a dove. My eyes are weak toward the height. Lord, I have oppression; lend me support!
我像燕子呻吟, 像白鹤鸣叫, 又像鸽子哀鸣. 我的眼睛因仰望高处而疲倦; 耶和华啊! 我受欺压, 求你作我的保障.

38:15 What can I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done it. I will walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
我可说什么呢? 他应许我的, 已给我成全了; 因我的心曾受过苦楚, 所以我要谨慎地度我所有的年日.

38:16 Lord, they live by them, and the life of my spirit belongs to all among them. And restore me to health and keep me alive!
主啊! 人活着是在于这些, 我的灵存活, 也在于这些. 所以求你使我恢复健康, 使我存活.

38:17 Look! Bitterness was bitter to me for peace. And you were the one who loved my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
看哪! 我受尽苦楚, 为要使我得平安; 你保全我的性命, 脱离毁灭的坑, 因为你把我的一切罪都丢在你的背后.

38:18 For Sheol cannot praise you; death cannot praise you. Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
阴间不能称谢你, 死亡不能赞美你, 下坑的人都不能仰望你的信实.

38:19 The living, the living one praises you like me today; a father will make your faithfulness known to children.

45:18 For thus says Yahweh, who created the heavens, he is God, who formed the earth and who made it. He himself established it; he did not create it as emptiness— he formed it for inhabiting. “I am Yahweh and there is none besides me.
因为创造诸天的耶和华, 他是神, 塑造大地, 把大地造成; 他坚立大地; 他创造大地, 不是荒凉的; 他塑造大地, 是要给人居住; 他这样说: “我是耶和华, 再没有别的神.

45:19 I have spoken not in secrecy, in a place, a land, of darkness, I have not said to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain!’ I, Yahweh, am speaking righteousness, declaring uprightness.
我没有在隐密处,在黑暗之地说过话; 我没有对雅各的后裔说过: ‘你们寻求我是徒然的. ’我耶和华讲说公义, 宣扬正直.

45:20 Assemble and come; draw near together, survivors of the nations! They do not know, those who carry their wooden idols and pray to a god who cannot save.
“列国逃脱的人哪! 你们要来集合, 一同近前来. 那些抬着木头做的偶像, 向不能拯救人的神祈求的, 真是无知.

45:21 Declare and present your case, also let them consult together! Who made this known from former times, declared it from of old? Was it not I, Yahweh? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God besides me, and no savior besides me.
你们述说吧! 提出理由吧! 让他们彼此商议吧! 谁从古时使人听见这事呢? 谁从上古把这事述说出来呢? 不是我耶和华吗? 除了我以外, 再没有神, 我是公义的神, 又是拯救者; 除了我以外, 并没有别的神.

45:22 Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none besides me.
全地的人哪! 你们都要归向我, 都要得救. 因为我是神, 再没有别的神.

45:23 I have sworn by myself; a word that shall not return has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness: ‘Every knee shall kneel down to me; every tongue shall swear.’
我指着自己起誓, 我的口凭着公义说出的话, 决不改变: ‘万膝都必向我跪拜, 万口都要指着我起誓. ’

45:24 ‘Only in Yahweh,’ one shall say to me, ‘are righteousness and strength.’ He shall come to him, and all those who were angry with him shall be ashamed.
人论到我必说: ‘只有在耶和华里面才有公义和能力’; 向他发怒的, 都必来到他面前, 并且要蒙羞.

45:25 In Yahweh all the offspring of Israel shall be in the right, and they shall boast.”
以色列所有的后裔, 都必靠耶和华得称为义, 并要夸胜. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 46

46:1 Bel bows down; Nebo is stooping. Their idols are on animals and on cattle; your cargo is carried as a burden on weary animals.
彼勒俯伏, 尼波弯腰; 巴比伦人的偶像驮在走兽和牲口上. 你们所抬的现在都成了重担, 成了疲乏的牲畜身上的重负.

46:2 They stoop; they bow down together. They are not able to save the burden, but they themselves go in captivity.
它们一同弯腰,俯伏, 不能保护重负, 它们自己反倒被掳去了.

46:3 “Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel who have been carried from the belly, who have been carried from the womb:
“雅各家啊, 以色列家所有余剩的人哪! 你们都要听我的话, 你们自出母腹, 就蒙我怀抱; 自出母胎, 就蒙我提携.

46:4 Even to your old age I am he; even to your advanced age I myself will support you. I myself have made you, and I myself will carry you, and I myself will support you, and I will save you.
直到你们年老, 我还是一样; 直到你们发白, 我仍然怀抱你. 我以前既然这样作了, 以后我仍必提携你; 我必怀抱你, 也必拯救你.

46:5 To whom will you liken me, and count as equal, and compare with me, as though we were alike?
你们要把谁与我相比, 谁与我相似呢? 你们把谁与我比较, 好使我们同等呢?

46:6 Those who lavish gold from the purse and weigh out silver in the balance scales; hire a goldsmith and he makes him a god; they bow down, indeed they bow in worship.
那些从钱袋倒出金子, 用天平称银子的人, 雇用金匠制造神像; 他们向神像又俯伏又叩拜.

46:7 They carry it on their shoulder; they support it and they set it in its place, and it stands in position. It cannot be removed from its place; even when he cries out to it, it does not answer. It does not save him from his trouble.
他们把神像抬起来, 扛在肩头上, 然后把它安置在固定的地方, 它就立在那里, 总不离开它的本位. 虽然有人向它呼求, 它也不能回答; 它也不能救人脱离患难.

46:8 Remember this and pluck up courage! Call to mind, you transgressors!
“你们当记念这事, 要坚定不移; 悖逆的人哪! 你们要留心思想.

46:9 Remember the former things from a long time ago, for I am God and there is none besides me, God and there is none like me,
你们当记念上古以前的事, 因为我是神, 再没有别的神; 我是神, 没有神像我.

46:10 who from the beginning declares the end, and from before, things that have not been done, who says, ‘My plan shall stand,’ and, ‘I will accomplish all my wishes,’
我从起初就宣告末后的事, 从古时就述说还未作成的事, 说: ‘我的计划必定成功, 我所喜悦的, 我都必作成. ’

46:11 who calls a bird of prey from the east, the man of his plan from a country from afar. Indeed I have spoken; indeed I will bring it to being. I have formed it; indeed I will do it.
我把鸷鸟从日出之地召来, 就是把成就我计划的人从远方召来. 我不但说了, 而且也要使我的话实现; 我不但计划好了, 而且也必实行.

46:12 Listen to me, strong of heart, far from righteousness!
心里顽固的人哪! 远离公义的人哪! 你们要听我.

46:13 I bring my righteousness near; it is not far. And my salvation will not delay; and I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory.”
我使我的公义临近了, 必不远离; 我的救恩必不迟延. 我要为以色列, 我的荣耀, 在锡安施行拯救. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 47

47:1 Come down and sit on the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of Chaldea! For they shall no longer call you tender and delicate.
巴比伦的处女啊! 你下来, 坐在尘土中吧! 迦勒底的女儿啊! 你坐在地上吧! 没有宝座了, 因为你必不再被称为柔弱娇嫩的了.

47:2 Take the pair of mill stones and grind flour! Uncover your veil, strip off your skirt, uncover your thigh, pass through the rivers!
你要拿石磨去磨面, 你要揭开你的帕子, 脱去长裙, 露出大腿, 渡过江河.

47:3 Your nakedness shall be exposed; indeed, your shame shall become visible. I will take vengeance and I will not spare a person.
你的下体必暴露出来, 你的羞耻要被人看见; 我必报仇, 不顾惜任何人.

47:4 Our redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the holy one of Israel.
我们的救赎主, 他的名字是万军之耶和华,以色列的圣者, 他说:

47:5 Sit silently and go into the darkness, daughter of Chaldea, for they shall no longer call you mistress of kingdoms.
“迦勒底的女子啊! 你要静静坐下, 进到黑暗中去, 因为人不再称你为列国之后了.

47:6 I was angry with my people; I profaned my inheritance, and I gave them into your hand. You did not give them mercy; on the aged you made your yoke very heavy.
我曾对我的子民发怒, 使我的产业被亵渎, 我把他们交在你的手里, 你却对他们毫无怜悯. 你竟把你的轭, 重重压在老年人的身上.

47:7 And you said, “I shall be an eternal mistress forever!” You did not set these things upon your heart; you did not remember its end.
你曾说: ‘我必永远作王后! ’所以你不把这些事放在心上, 也不思想这事的结局.

47:8 Therefore now hear this, luxuriant one who sits in security, who says in her heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one. I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know the loss of children.”
因此, 你这淫逸,安居的, 现在要听这话. 你曾心里说: ‘只有我, 除我以外再没有别的; 我必不会寡居, 也不会经历丧子的事. ’

47:9 And these two shall come to you in a moment, in one day: the loss of children and widowhood shall come on you completely, in spite of your many sorceries, in spite of the power of your great enchantments.
不料丧子和寡居这两件事, 竟在忽然之间, 一日之内, 要临到你身上! 正在你多行邪术, 竭力施符咒的时候, 这两件事就必都临到你身上.

47:10 And you felt secure in your wickedness; you said, “No one sees me.” Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one.”
你向来倚靠自己的邪恶, 说: ‘没有人看见我’; 你的智慧和知识把你引入了歧途. 你心里说: ‘只有我, 除了我以外, 再没有别的. ’

47:11 And evil shall come upon you, you will not know; it will be on the lookout for her. And disaster shall fall upon you; you will not be able to avert it. And ruin shall come on you suddenly; you do not know.
但灾祸必临到你身上, 你却不知道它的来源; 祸患必落在你身上, 你却不能把它除去; 毁灭必忽然临到你身上, 你却不知道.

47:12 Stand, now, in your enchantments, and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth. Perhaps you may be able to benefit; perhaps you may scare away.
继续使用你从幼年时就劳碌施行的符咒和许多的邪术吧! 或者你可以得到益处, 也许你能叫人战栗.

47:13 You struggle with your many consultations; let them stand, now, and save you— those who see the stars, divide the celestial sphere, who inform by new moons— from those things that are coming upon you.
你因你许多的计划而劳累; 现在让那些划分天象的, 观看星辰的, 在月朔时说预言的, 都站起来, 拯救你脱离要临到你身上的事.

47:14 Look! They are like stubble; the fire burns them completely. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame; there is no coal for warming oneself, no fire before which to sit.
看哪! 他们必像碎秸, 火必要焚烧他们; 他们不能救自己脱离火焰的威力; 这不是可以烤火取暖的火炭, 也不是可以坐在它面前的火.

47:15 So are to you those with whom you have labored, your traders from your youth. They wander, each to his side; there is no one who can save you.
你所劳碌的事, 都要这样与你无益; 从你年幼时与你交易的, 也都必各奔各方, 四处飘流, 没有人拯救你. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 48

48:1 Hear this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel and came out from the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Yahweh, and invoke the God of Israel, but not in truth and not in righteousness.
雅各家, 就是被称为以色列的, 从犹大的水源出来的, 指着耶和华的名起誓, 却不是出于诚实和公义, 提说以色列的神的啊! 你们要听这话.

48:2 For they call themselves after the holy city, and they lean on the God of Israel— Yahweh of hosts is his name.
他们被称为圣城的人, 又倚靠以色列的神; 他的名字是万军之耶和华.

48:3 “I declared the former things from of old, and they went out from my mouth. And I announced them suddenly; I acted, and they came to pass,
主说: “先前的事, 我从古时就预言过了, 已经从我的口里说出来了, 又说给人听了; 我忽然行事, 事情就都成就了.

48:4 because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck an iron sinew, and your forehead bronze.
因为我知道你是顽固的, 你的颈项是铁的, 你的额是铜的,

48:5 And I declared them to you from of old; I announced them to you before they came to pass so that you would not say, ‘My idol did them, and my image and my cast image commanded them.’
所以我从古时就告诉了你; 在事情还没有发生以前, 我就说给你听了, 免得你说: ‘这些事是我的偶像所作的, 是我的雕像和铸像所命定的. ’

48:6 You have heard; see it all. And will you not declare it? I announce new things to you from this time and hidden things that you have not known.
你已经听见了, 现在要注意这一切事. 难道你不述说吗? 从今以后, 我要把新的事, 就是你不知道的隐秘的事, 告诉你.

48:7 Now they are created, and not from of old, and before today, and you have not heard them so that you could not say, “Look! I knew them.”
这些事是现在才造成的, 并不是从古时就有的; 在今天以前, 你还未曾听见过, 免得你说: ‘看哪! 这些事我早已知道了. ’

48:8 Neither have you heard, nor have you known, nor from of old has your ear been opened. For I knew you would deal treacherously, very treacherously, and you are called a rebel from the womb.
你从来没有听过, 也不知道; 你的耳朵从来未曾开通. 我原知道你行事非常诡诈; 你自出母胎以来, 就被称为叛徒.

48:9 For the sake of my name I refrain from my anger, and for my praise I restrain it for you so as not to cut you off.
为了我的名的缘故, 我暂时不发怒; 为了我的名誉的缘故, 我向你忍耐; 不把你剪除.

48:10 Look! I have refined you, but not like silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of misery.
看哪! 我熬炼了你, 却不像熬炼银子; 你在苦难的炉中, 我拣选了你.

48:11 For my own sake, for my own sake I do it; for why should it be defiled? And I will not give my glory to another.”
为了我自己的缘故, 我必作这事. 我的名怎能被亵渎呢? 我必不把我的荣耀归给别人.

48:12 “Listen to me, Jacob, and Israel, whom I called: I am he. I am the first; also I am the last.
“雅各, 我所呼召的以色列啊! 你要听我的话. 我就是‘那位’, 我是首先的, 也是末后的.

48:13 Indeed, my hand founded the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand in position together.
我的手奠定了大地的根基, 我的右手展开了诸天; 我一呼唤它们, 它们就一同站着侍候.

48:14 Assemble, all of you, and hear! Who among them declared these things? Yahweh loves him; he shall perform his wish against Babylon and his arm against the Chaldeans.
列国啊! 你们都要集合起来听. 他们中间有谁预言过这些事呢? 耶和华爱他, 他必向巴比伦行他所喜悦的; 他的膀臂也必击打迦勒底人.

48:15 I, I myself, I have spoken! Indeed, I have called him. I have brought him, and he will be successful in his way.
我亲自说过, 又呼召了他; 我带领了他来, 他所行的就必亨通.

48:16 Draw near to me; hear this! I have not spoken in secrecy from the beginning; from the time it came to be, there I have been; And now the Lord Yahweh has sent me and his Spirit.”
你们要就近我, 当听这话: ‘从起初我就没有在隐密处说过话, 自从有这事情的存在, 我就在那里. ’现在主耶和华差遣了我和他的灵.

48:17 Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer, the holy one of Israel: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, leads you in the way you should go.
耶和华你的救赎主, 以色列的圣者, 这样说: ‘我是耶和华你的神, 是教导你, 使你得益处的, 是在你当行的道路上引导你的.

48:18 O that you had listened attentively to my commandments! Then your prosperity would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
但愿你一向都留心听从我的命令, 这样你的平安就像河水滔滔, 你的公义就如海浪滚滚;

48:19 And your offspring would have been like the sand, and the descendants of your body like its grains. It would not be cut off, and its name would not be destroyed from my presence.”
你的后裔必像海沙那么多, 你腹中的子孙要如沙粒这样多; 他们的名字必不会被剪除, 也不会从我面前消灭.

48:20 Go out from Babylon! Flee from Chaldea! Proclaim it with a shout of rejoicing; proclaim this! Send it forth to the end of the earth; say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
“你们要从巴比伦出来, 从迦勒底人中逃出来, 你们要用欢呼的声音宣告, 把这事说给人听, 你们要把这事宣扬出去, 直到地极, 说: ‘耶和华救赎了他的仆人雅各了. ’

48:21 And when he led them through the deserts, they were not thirsty; he made water flow from the rock for them, and he split the rock, and the water gushed out.
耶和华领他们走过荒野的时候, 他们并不干渴; 他为他们使水从磐石流出来. 他裂开磐石, 水就涌出来.

48:22 “There is no peace,” says Yahweh, “for the wicked.”
耶和华说: ‘恶人没有平安. ’”

Isaiah - Chapter 49

49:1 Listen to me, coastlands, and listen attentively, peoples from far away! Yahweh called me from the womb; from the body of my mother he made my name known.
众海岛啊! 你们要听我的话. 远方的万族啊! 你们要留心听. 我在母胎的时候, 耶和华就呼召了我; 我出母腹的时候, 他就提了我的名.

49:2 And he made my mouth like a sharp sword; he hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he made me like an sharpened arrow; he hid me in his quiver.
他使我的口如快刀, 把我藏在他手的阴影之下; 他又使我成为磨亮的箭, 把我藏在他的箭袋里.

49:3 And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will show my glory.”
他对我说: “你是我的仆人以色列, 我要借着你得荣耀. ”

49:4 But I myself said, “I have labored in vain; I have used up my strength for nothing and vanity! Nevertheless, my justice is with Yahweh, and my reward is with my God.”
但我说: “我劳碌是徒然的; 我用尽气力, 是虚无虚空的; 然而我当得的公理是在耶和华那里, 我的赏赐是在我的神那里. ”

49:5 And now Yahweh says, who formed me from the womb as a servant for him, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might not be gathered, for I am honored in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God has become my strength.
现在, 耶和华说: (他自我还在母胎的时候, 就造了我作他的仆人, 好使雅各回转归向他, 使以色列可以聚集到他那里; 我在耶和华眼中被看为尊贵, 我的神是我的力量. )

49:6 And he says, “It is trivial for you to be a servant for me, to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel. I will give you as a light to the nations, to be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
“你作我的仆人, 使雅各众支派复兴, 使以色列中得保全的归回, 只是小事, 我还要使你作列国的光, 使我的救恩传到地极. ”

49:7 Thus says Yahweh, the redeemer of Israel, his holy one, to the one who despises life, to the one who abhors the nation, to the slave of rulers: “Kings shall see and stand up; princes, and they shall bow down, for the sake of Yahweh, who is faithful, the holy one of Israel, and he has chosen you.”
以色列的救赎主, 以色列的圣者耶和华, 对那被人藐视的,被本国憎恶的,被统治者奴役的, 这样说: “君王看见了, 就必起立, 领袖看见了, 也要下拜, 都因信实的耶和华, 就是拣选了你的,以色列的圣者的缘故. ”

49:8 Thus says Yahweh: “I have answered you in a time of favor, and helped you on a day of salvation, and watched over you, and given you as a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to give the desolate hereditary property as an inheritance,
耶和华这样说: “在悦纳的时候, 我应允了你, 在拯救的日子, 我帮助了你; 我要保护你, 使你作人民的中保, 复兴那地, 使人承受荒凉之地作产业,

49:9 saying to the prisoners, “Come out!” to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves!” they shall feed along the ways, and their pasturage shall be on all the barren heights.
对那些被囚的说: ‘你们出来吧! ’对那些在黑暗中的人说: ‘你们现身吧! ’他们沿途必得喂养, 一切光秃的高处必成为他们的草场.

49:10 They shall not be hungry or thirsty, and heat and sun shall not strike them, for he who takes pity on them will lead them, and he will guide them to springs of water.
他们必不饥饿, 也不口渴, 炎热和太阳必不伤害他们, 因为那怜悯他们的, 要引领他们, 带领他们到水泉的旁边.

49:11 And I will make all my mountains like a road, and my highways shall lead up.
我必使我的众山成为道路, 我的大道都必被修高.

49:12 Look! These shall come from afar, And look! These from the north and from the west and these from the land of Sinim.”
看哪! 有些人从远方而来; 看哪! 有些从北方, 从西方而来, 还有些从色尼姆地而来. ”

49:13 Sing for joy, heavens, and rejoice, earth! Mountains must break forth in rejoicing! For Yahweh has comforted his people, and he will take pity on his afflicted ones.
诸天哪! 你们要欢呼. 大地啊! 你当快乐. 众山啊! 你们要发声欢呼. 因为耶和华已经安慰了他的子民, 也必怜悯他受困苦的人.

49:14 But Zion said, “Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me!”
但锡安说: “耶和华离弃了我, 我的主忘记了我. ”

49:15 Can a woman forget her suckling, refrain from having compassion on the child of her womb? Indeed, these may forget, but I, I will not forget you!
妇人怎能忘记她吃奶的婴孩, 不怜悯她亲生的儿子呢? 即使她们可能忘记, 我也不会忘记你.

49:16 Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
看哪! 我已经把你刻在我的掌上; 你的城墙常常在我面前.

49:17 Your children hasten; your destroyers and those who laid you waste depart from you.
重建你的要急速归回, 那些毁坏你的和那些使你荒废的, 都必离你而去.

49:18 Lift your eyes up all around and see; all of them gather; they come to you. As surely as I live, declares Yahweh, surely you shall put on all of them like an ornament, and you shall bind them on like a bride.
你举目向四周观看吧! 他们都集合到你那里来. 耶和华说: “我指着我的永生起誓, 你要披戴他们, 如同披戴装饰品; 你要以他们作华带束腰, 像新妇一样.

49:19 Surely your sites of ruins and desolate places and land of ruins, surely now you will be too cramped for your inhabitants, and those who engulfed you will be far away.
至于你那些被毁坏荒废之处和你那些被拆毁之地, 现在给众人居住必显为太狭窄了, 那些吞灭你的都必远离你.

49:20 Yet the children born when you were bereaved will say in your hearing, “The place is too cramped for me; make room for me so that I can dwell.”
你丧子以后所生的儿女还要说给你听, 说: ‘这地方给我居住太狭窄了; 求你给我预备地方居住吧! ’

49:21 Then you will say in your heart, “Who has borne me these?” And, “I was bereaved and barren, exiled and thrust away; so who raised these? Look at me! I was left alone; where have these come from?”
那时你心里必说: ‘我既丧子, 又不能生育; 我是被掳的, 又是被放逐在外的, 谁给我生了这些孩子呢? 谁把这些孩子养大呢? 看哪! 我独自一人被撇下, 这些孩子是从哪里来的呢? ’”

49:22 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I will lift my hand up to the nations, and I will raise my signal to the peoples, and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
主耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我必向列国举手, 我要向万民竖立我的旗帜; 他们要把你的儿子都抱在怀中带来, 把你的女儿都放在肩上背来.

49:23 And kings shall be your guardians, and their queens your nurses. They shall bow down, faces to the ground, to you, and they will lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; those who await me shall not be ashamed.
列国的君王要作你的养父, 他们的王后必作你的保姆; 他们必脸伏于地向你下拜, 舐你脚上的尘土. 那么, 你就知道我是耶和华, 那些仰望我的决不会羞愧. ”

49:24 Can war-booty be taken from the mighty? or can a captive of a righteous person be rescued?
被抢去的怎能从勇士手中夺回呢? 被俘掳的怎能从强暴者的手里救出来呢?

49:25 But thus says Yahweh: “Indeed a captive of the mighty shall be taken, and the war-booty of the tyrant shall be rescued, for I myself will dispute with your opponent, and I myself will save your children.
但耶和华这样说: “就是勇士所俘掳的, 也可以夺回, 强暴者所抢去的, 也可以救出来; 与你相争的, 我必与他们相争; 你的儿女, 我却要拯救.

49:26 And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am Yahweh, your savior and redeemer, the strong one of Jacob.”
我要使那些欺压你的人, 吃自己的肉; 他们必喝自己的血醉倒, 好像喝了甜酒一样; 那么所有的人都必知道, 我耶和华是你的拯救者, 是你的救赎主, 是雅各的大能者. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 50

50:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Where is this divorce document of your mother’s divorce, with which I dismissed her? or to whom of my creditors did I sell you? Look! you were sold because of your sin, and your mother was dismissed because of your transgressions.
耶和华这样说: “我离弃了你们的母亲, 休书在哪里呢? 或者我的债主中, 哪一个是我把你们卖了给他的呢? 看哪! 你们被卖是因你们的罪孽; 你们的母亲被离弃是因你们的过犯.

50:2 Why was there no man when I came, no one who answered when I called? Do I lack the strength to save? Or is there no power in me to deliver? Look! by my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert; their fish stink because there is no water, and they die because of thirst.
为什么我来的时候, 没有人在呢? 为什么我呼唤的时候, 没有人答应呢? 难道我的手太软弱不能救赎吗? 或是我没有能力拯救吗? 看哪! 我以斥责使海干涸, 我使江河变成旷野, 江河的鱼因无水发臭, 因干渴而死.

50:3 I clothe the heavens with darkness, and I make their covering sackcloth.”
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服, 以麻布作它们的遮盖. ”

50:4 The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of a pupil, to know how to help the weary with a word. He awakens morning by morning, awakens an ear for me to listen as do the pupils.
主耶和华赐给了我一个受教者的舌头, 使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人; 主每天清晨唤醒我, 他每天清晨唤醒我的耳朵, 使我能像受教者一样静听.

50:5 The Lord Yahweh has opened an ear for me, and I, I was not rebellious. I did not turn backwards;
主耶和华开启了我的耳朵, 我并没有违抗, 也没有后退.

50:6 I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from insults and spittle.
我把我的背给打我的人打, 把我的腮颊给拔我胡须的人拔; 我并没有掩面躲避人的羞辱和人的唾液.

50:7 And the Lord Yahweh helps me, therefore I have not been put to shame; therefore I have set my face like flint. And I know that I shall not be ashamed;
但主耶和华必帮助我, 所以我必不羞愧, 因此我板着脸好像坚硬的燧石, 我也知道我必不会蒙羞.

50:8 he who obtains rights for me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is the master of my judgment? Let him approach me.
那称我为义的, 与我相近; 谁与我争讼呢? 让我们一同站起来吧! 谁是指控我的? 让他就近我来.

50:9 Look! The Lord Yahweh helps me. Who is the one who will declare me guilty? Look! All of them will be worn out like a garment; the moth will eat them.
看哪! 主耶和华帮助我, 谁能定我有罪呢? 看哪! 他们都要像衣服渐渐破旧, 蛀虫必把他们吃光.

50:10 Who among you is in fear of Yahweh, obeys the voice of his servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light, trusts in the name of Yahweh and depends on his God?
你们中间谁是敬畏耶和华, 听从他仆人的声音的? 谁是行在黑暗中, 没有亮光的呢? 他该倚靠耶和华的名, 依赖他的神.

50:11 Look! All of you are kindlers of fire, who gird yourselves with flaming arrows. Walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows you have kindled! You shall have this from my hand: you shall lie down in a place of torment.
看哪! 你们点火的, 用火把围绕自己的, 都行在你们火焰的光里, 都走在你们所燃点的火把中吧! 这是你们从我手里所要得的: 你们必躺卧在痛苦之中.

Isaiah - Chapter 51

追求公义,寻求耶和华的啊! 你们要听我的话. 你们要瞻仰那磐石, 你们就是从其上凿出来的; 你们要瞻仰那采石坑, 你们就是从其中挖出来的.

51:2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah; she brought you forth. For I called him alone, but I blessed him and made him numerous.”
你们要瞻仰你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕, 他们也要瞻仰那生你们的撒拉. 亚伯拉罕独自一人的时候, 我呼召了他, 赐福给他, 使他有很多子孙.

51:3 For Yahweh will comfort Zion; he will comfort all its sites of ruins. And he will make its wilderness like Eden, and its desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in it, thanksgiving and the sound of song.
耶和华必安慰锡安, 他要安慰它的一切荒场, 使它的旷野像伊甸园一样, 使它的荒地像耶和华的园子一般, 在其中必有欢喜快乐,感谢和歌声.

51:4 “Listen attentively to me, my people, and my nation, listen to me! For a teaching will go out from me, and I will cause my justice to rest for a light to the peoples.
我的子民哪! 你们要留心听我; 我的民族啊! 你们要侧耳听我. 因为训诲必从我而去; 我必坚立我的判词为万民之光.

51:5 My righteousness is near; my salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The coastlands wait for me, and for my arm they wait.
我的公义临近, 我的拯救已经发出了, 我的膀臂审判万民, 众海岛的人都要等候我, 并且仰赖我的膀臂.

51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look to the earth beneath, for the heavens will be torn to pieces like smoke, and the earth will be worn out like a garment, and those who inhabit her will die like gnats. But my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be broken to pieces.
你们要仰观天空, 俯视大地; 因为诸天必像烟云消散, 大地要像衣服渐渐破旧; 其上的居民必像蠓虫死亡, 但我的拯救却永远长存, 我的公义也不会废去.

51:7 Listen to me, you who know righteousness, people who have my teaching in their heart; you must not fear the reproach of men, or be terrified because of their abuse.
认识公义, 把我的训诲存在心里的人民哪! 你们要听我的话. 你们不要怕人的辱骂, 也不要因人的毁谤而惊惶.

51:8 For a moth will eat them like garments; a moth will devour them like wool, but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation for generation after generation.”
因为蛀虫必吃他们, 像吃衣服一样; 虫子必吃他们, 像吃羊绒一样. 但我的公义永远长存. 我的拯救直到万代.

51:9 Awake! Awake; put on strength, O arm of Yahweh! Awake as in days of long ago, the generations of a long time back! Are you not the one who cut Rahab in pieces, the one who pierced the sea-dragon?
耶和华的膀臂啊, 醒来吧! 醒来吧! 穿上能力吧! 像古时的日子, 像上古的世代一样醒来吧! 从前砍碎了拉哈伯, 刺透了海龙的, 不是你吗?

51:10 Are you not the one who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, the one who made the depths of the sea a way for those who are redeemed to cross over?
使海, 就是大渊的水干涸, 使海的深处变为蒙救赎的人经过之路的, 不是你吗?

51:11 So the redeemed ones of Yahweh shall return, and they shall come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. Joy and gladness shall appear; sorrow and sighing shall flee away!
耶和华所赎的人必归回; 他们必欢呼着进入锡安; 永远的快乐要临到他们的头上. 他们必得着欢喜快乐, 忧愁叹息都必逃避.

51:12 “I, I am he who comforts you; who are you that you are afraid of man? He dies! And of the son of humankind? He is sacrificed as grass!
“我, 我耶和华是安慰你们的; 你是谁, 竟怕那会死的人, 怕那被造如草的世人呢?

51:13 And you have forgotten Yahweh, your maker, who stretched out the heavens, and founded the earth. And you tremble continually, all day, because of the wrath of the oppressor when he takes aim to destroy. But where is the wrath of the oppressor?
你忘记了造你的耶和华, 就是那展开诸天, 奠定大地的根基的; 又因那欺压者准备行毁灭的时候所发的烈怒, 你就终日不住惧怕呢? 其实那欺压者的烈怒在哪里呢?

51:14 The fettered one shall make haste to be freed. And he shall not die in the pit, and he shall not lack his bread.
被掳的快得释放了, 他们必不会死, 必不会下到阴间里, 他们的食物也必不会缺乏.

我是耶和华你们的神, 就是那搅动大海, 使海中的波浪澎湃的; 万军之耶和华是他的名.

51:16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, to plant the heavens and to found the earth, saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’ ”
我把我的话放在你的口里, 用我的手影蔽护你, 好立定诸天, 奠定大地的根基, 对锡安说: ‘你是我的子民. ’”

51:17 Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Stand up, Jerusalem, who have drunk from the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath; you have drunk the goblet, the cup of staggering; you have drained it out.
耶路撒冷啊, 醒来! 醒来! 站起来吧! 你从耶和华的手中喝了他烈怒的杯, 喝尽了那使人摇摇摆摆的爵.

51:18 There is no one who guides her among all the children she has borne, and there is no one who grasps her by the hand among all the children she raised.
她所生的众子中, 没有一个引导她的; 她养大的众子中, 没有一个扶持她的.

51:19 Two things here have happened to you—who will show sympathy for you?— devastation and destruction, famine and sword—who will comfort you?
荒凉与毁灭, 饥荒与刀剑, 这两样临到你, 谁为你悲哀呢? 谁能安慰你呢?

51:20 Your children have fainted; they lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a snare, those who are full of the wrath of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
你的众子昏倒了, 在各街头上躺卧, 好像羚羊在网罗之中; 他们饱尝了耶和华的烈怒, 你的神的斥责.

51:21 Therefore hear now this afflicted one and drunken one but not from wine.
所以, 你这困苦的, 不是因酒而醉倒的, 要听这话.

51:22 Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, and your God pleads the cause of his people: “Look! I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering. You shall not continue to drink the goblet, the cup of my wrath, any longer.
你的主耶和华, 就是为自己的子民争辩的神, 这样说: “看哪! 我已经把那使人摇摇摆摆的杯, 就是我烈怒的爵, 从你的手里挪去了; 你必不再喝这杯.

51:23 And I will put it in the hand of your tormenters, who have said to you, ‘Bow down that we may pass over you!’ And you have made your back like the ground, and like the street for those who pass over you.”
我必把这杯放在那些苦待你的人的手里; 他们曾对你说: ‘你屈身俯伏, 让我们走过去吧! ’你就以你的背作陆地, 作街道, 任由他们踏过去. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 52

52:1 Awake! Awake; put on your strength, Zion! Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall not continue to enter you any longer.

耶路撒冷啊! 抖下尘土, 起来, 坐在位上吧! 锡安被掳的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)哪! 解开你颈项上的锁链.

许多人怎样因你而惊奇, (因为他的容貌毁损得不像人, 他的形状毁损得不像世人);

52:15 so he shall sprinkle many nations; because of him, kings shall shut their mouths. For they shall see what has not been told them, and they shall consider with full attention what they have not heard.
照样, 他也必使多国的人惊异, 君王要因他闭口不言, 因为从未向他们述说过的事, 他们必看见; 他们从未听过的, 他们要明白.

Isaiah - Chapter 53

53:1 Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
谁会相信我们所传的? 耶和华的膀臂向谁显露呢?

53:2 For he went up like a shoot before him, and like a root from dry ground. He had no form and no majesty that we should see him, and no appearance that we should take pleasure in him.
他在耶和华面前如嫩芽生长起来, 像根出于干旱之地; 他没有佳形, 也没有威仪, 好叫我们仰慕他; 他也没有美貌, 使我们被他吸引.

53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering, and acquainted with sickness, and like one from whom others hide their faces, he was despised, and we did not hold him in high regard.
他被藐视, 被人拒绝, 是个多受痛苦, 熟悉病患的人. 他像个被人掩面不看的人一样; 他被藐视, 我们也不重视他.

53:4 However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses, and he carried our pain, yet we ourselves assumed him stricken, struck down by God and afflicted.
原来他担当了我们的病患, 背负了我们的痛苦; 我们却以为他受责打, 被神击打和苦待了.

53:5 But he was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon him, and by his wounds we were healed.
然而他是为了我们的过犯被刺透, 为了我们的罪孽被压伤; 使我们得平安的惩罚加在他身上, 因他受了鞭伤, 我们才得医治.

53:6 All of us have wandered about like sheep; we each have turned to his own way; and Yahweh let fall on him the iniquity of us all.
我们众人都如羊走迷了路, 各人偏行己路; 耶和华却把我们众人的罪孽, 都归在他身上.

53:7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers, so he did not open his mouth.
他被虐待, 受痛苦的时候, 他并不开口; 他像羊羔被牵去屠宰, 又像羊在剪羊毛的人面前寂然无声, 他也是这样不开口.

53:8 He was taken by restraint of justice, and who concerned himself with his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living; he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.
他受拘禁和审判以后被带走; 至于他那个世代的人中, 有谁想到从活人之地被剪除, 被击打, 是因我子民的过犯呢?

53:9 He made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
虽然他从来没有行过强暴, 他的口里也没有诡诈, 人还是使他与恶人同埋, 但死的时候与财主同葬.

53:10 Yet Yahweh was pleased to crush him; he made him sick. If she places his life a guilt offering, he will see offspring. He will prolong days, and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.
耶和华却喜悦把他压伤, 使他受痛苦; 耶和华若以他的性命作赎罪祭, 他必看见后裔, 并且得享长寿; 耶和华所喜悦的, 必在他手中亨通.

53:11 From the trouble of his life he will see; he will be satisfied. In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous, and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.
他受了生命之苦以后, 必看见光明, 并且心满意足; 我的义仆必使许多人因认识他而得称为义, 他也必背负他们的罪孽.

53:12 Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many, and with the strong ones he will divide bounty, because he poured his life out to death and was counted with the transgressors; and he was the one who bore the sin of many and will intercede for the transgressors.
所以, 我要使他与伟大的人同分, 他必与强盛的均分掳物, 因为他把自己的性命倾倒, 以致于死. 他被列在罪犯之中, 却担当了多人的罪, 又为罪犯代求.

Isaiah - Chapter 54

54:1 “Sing for joy, barren woman; who has not borne! Burst forth into rejoicing and rejoice, she who has not been in labor! For the children of the desolate woman are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
不能生育,没有生养过孩子的啊! 你要欢呼. 没有生产过的啊! 你要发声欢呼, 高声呼喊. 因为弃妇比有夫之妇有更多儿子. 这是耶和华说的.

54:2 “Enlarge the site of your tent, and let them stretch out the tent curtains of your dwelling place. You must not spare; make your tent cords long and strengthen your pegs,
要扩张你帐幕的地方, 伸展你居所的幔子, 不要限制; 要拉长你的绳索, 坚固你的橛子.

54:4 You must not fear, for you will not be ashamed, and you must not be confounded, for you will not feel abashed, for you will forget the shame of your youth, and you will no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.
不要惧怕, 因为你必不致蒙羞; 也不要抱愧, 因为你必不致受辱, 你必忘记你幼年时的羞愧, 也不再记念你寡居时的耻辱.

54:5 For your husband is your maker, his name is Yahweh of hosts; and your redeemer is the holy one of Israel, he is called the God of all of the earth.
因为造你的, 就是你的丈夫; 万军之耶和华是他的名; 救赎你的, 就是以色列的圣者; 他被称为全地的神.

54:6 For Yahweh has called you like a wife forsaken and hurt of spirit, like the wife of childhood when she is rejected, says your God.
因为耶和华召唤你, 如同召唤被离弃,心灵忧伤的妻子, 就是幼年时所娶却被弃绝的妻子; 这是你的神说的.

54:7 I abandoned you for a short moment, but I will gather you with great compassion.
我只是暂时离弃你, 却以极大的怜悯把你招聚回来.

54:8 I hid my face from you for a moment, in the flowing of anger, but I will have compassion on you with everlasting faithfulness” says your redeemer, Yahweh.
在怒气涨溢的时候, 我暂时向你掩面, 却要以永远的慈爱怜悯你; 这是耶和华你的救赎主说的.

54:9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass over the earth, so I swore that I would not be angry at you and rebuke you.
这事对我就好像挪亚时代的洪水一般; 我怎样起誓不再使挪亚时代的洪水漫过大地, 我也照样起誓不向你发怒, 也不斥责你.

54:10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills may sway, but my faithfulness shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not sway,” says Yahweh, who has compassion on you,
虽然大山可以挪开, 小山可以迁移, 但我的慈爱必不从你身上挪开, 我和平的约也必不迁移; 这是怜悯你的耶和华说的.

54:11 “O afflicted one, driven away, who is not consoled. Look! I am about to set your stones in hard mortar, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires.
受困苦,被风飘荡,不得安慰的啊! 你看, 我要用彩色的石头安置你的基石, 以蓝宝石奠定你的根基.

54:12 And I will make your battlements of ruby, and your gates of stones of beryl, and all your wall of precious stones.
又用红宝石做你的城楼, 用红玉做你的城门, 用各种宝石做你四周的围墙.

54:13 And all your children shall be pupils of Yahweh, and the peace of your children shall be great.
你所有的儿女都必受耶和华的教导, 你的儿女必大享平安.

54:14 In righteousness you shall be established. Be far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
你必因公义得以坚立; 你必远离欺压, 你必无所惧怕; 你也必远离惊吓, 因为惊吓必不会临近你.

54:15 If indeed one attacks, it is not from me; whoever attacks you shall fall because of you.
看哪! 必有人起来攻击你, 但那不是出于我; 攻击你的, 必因你仆倒.

54:16 Look! I myself have created the craftsman who blows the fire of coals, and who produces a weapon for his work; also I myself have created the destroyer to destroy.
看哪! 那吹炭火,打造出合用武器的铁匠, 是我创造的; 那残害人,行毁灭的, 也是我创造的.

54:17 Every weapon formed against you shall not succeed, and you shall declare guilty every tongue that rises against you for judgment. This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh, and their legal right from me,” declares Yahweh.
为攻击你而制成的武器, 都没有效用; 在审判的时候兴起来与你争辩的舌头, 你都必定它为有罪. 这是耶和华众仆人的产业, 他们的义是从我而得; 这是耶和华说的.

Isaiah - Chapter 55

55:1 “Ho! Everyone thirsty, come to the waters! And whoever has no money, come, buy and eat, and come, buy without money, wine and milk without price!
唉! 口渴的人哪! 你们都就近水来吧. 没有银钱的, 你们也要来, 买了就吃. 你们要来, 买酒和奶, 不用银子, 也不用付代价.

55:2 Why do you weigh out money for what is not food, and your labor for what cannot satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and let your soul take pleasure in rich food.
你们为什么用银子去买那不是食物的呢? 为什么用你们劳碌得来的去买那不能使人饱足的呢? 你们要留心听我的话, 就可以吃美物, 使你们的心灵享受肥甘.

55:3 Extend your ear, and come to me! Listen so that your soul may live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the enduring proofs of the mercies shown to David.

55:10 For just as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and they do not return there except they have watered the earth thoroughly and cause it to bring forth and sprout, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
雨雪怎样从天上降下来, 不再返回天上, 却灌溉大地, 使地上的植物发芽结实, 使撒种的有种子, 吃的人有粮食;

55:11 so shall be my word that goes out from my mouth. It shall not return to me without success, but shall accomplish what I desire and be successful in the thing for which I sent it.
从我的口所出的话也必这样, 必不徒然返回我这里, 却要作成我所喜悦的, 使它在我差遣它去作的事上必然亨通.

55:12 For you shall go out in joy, and you shall be led in peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you, rejoicing and all the trees of the field shall clap hands.
你们必欢欢喜喜出来, 平平安安蒙引导; 大山小山都必在你们面前发声欢呼, 田野所有的树木也都拍掌.

55:13 Instead of the thorn bush, the juniper shall go up; instead of the brier, the myrtle shall go up, and it shall serve as a memorial to Yahweh, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
松树要长起来代替荆棘, 番石榴要长起来代替蒺藜. 这要为耶和华留名, 作永远不能废掉的记号. ”

因为耶和华这样说: “那些谨守我的安息日, 拣选我所喜悦的事, 持守我的约,被阉割了的人,

Isaiah - Chapter 57

57:1 The righteous one perishes, and there is no one who takes it to heart. And men of faithfulness are gathered, while there is no one who understands, for the righteous is gathered from the presence of wickedness.

你们戏弄谁呢? 你们张大嘴巴, 伸长舌头戏弄谁呢? 你们不是悖逆的孩子吗? 不是虚谎的后裔吗?

57:5 who burn with lust among the oaks, under every leafy tree, who slaughter children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
你们在橡树林中, 在青翠树下欲火焚心; 在山谷间, 在岩穴里, 宰杀自己的孩子作祭牲.

57:6 Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; they, they are your lot; indeed, to them you have poured out a drink offering, you have brought a food offering. Shall I relent concerning these things?
在山谷中光滑的石头里有你的分; 只有它们是你所要得的分! 你也向它们浇了奠祭, 献上了供物. 这些事我岂能容忍不报复呢?

你在高高的山上安设你的床榻, 又上到那里去献祭.

他们天天寻求我, 乐意明白我的道路, 好像行义的国民, 不离弃他们神的公理; 他们向我求问公义的判语, 又喜欢亲近神.

他们说: “为什么我们禁食, 你不看呢? 为什么我们刻苦己身, 你不理会呢? ”看哪! 你们在禁食的日子, 仍然追求自己喜欢作的事, 欺压为你们作工的人.

使人刻苦自己的日子, 这样的禁食是我拣选的吗? 难道只是叫人垂头像一根苇子, 用麻布和炉灰铺在下面吗? 你可以称这是禁食, 为耶和华所悦纳的日子吗?

58:6 Is this not the fast I choose: to release the bonds of injustice, to untie the ropes of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and tear every yoke to pieces?
我所拣选的禁食不是这样吗? 不是要松开凶恶的锁链, 解开轭上的绳索, 使被压迫的获得自由, 折断所有的轭吗?

Isaiah - Chapter 59

59:1 Look! The hand of Yahweh is not too short to save, and his ear is not too dull to hear.
看哪! 耶和华的手不是缩短了, 以致不能拯救; 他的耳朵不是不灵, 不能听见;

59:2 Rather, your iniquities have been barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, from hearing.
而是你们的罪孽使你们与你们的神隔绝; 你们的罪恶使他掩面不顾你们, 不听你们的祷告.

59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue speaks wickedness.
因为你们的手沾满了血, 你们的指头被罪孽玷污, 你们的嘴唇说虚谎的话, 你们的舌头讲出凶言.

59:4 There is nobody who pleads with justice, and there is nobody who judges with honesty. They rely on nothing and speak vanity. They conceive trouble and beget iniquity;
没有人按公义求告, 没有人凭诚实争辩; 他们都倚靠虚无, 说虚谎的话; 所怀的是毒害, 所生的是罪孽.

59:5 they hatch viper eggs, and they weave a spider web. One who eats their eggs dies, and that which is pressed is hatched as a serpent.
他们所孵化的是毒蛇的蛋, 他们所结的是蜘蛛的网, 吃了它们的蛋, 就一定死; 蛋破了, 就孵出蝮蛇来.

59:6 Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and deeds of violence are in their hands.
他们的网, 不能作衣服, 他们所作的, 也不能遮盖自己; 他们所作的是罪孽的作为, 他们的手里满是强暴的行为.

59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their highways.
他们的脚奔跑行恶, 他们急于流无辜人的血; 他们的思想都是邪恶的思想, 他们的行径全是破坏和毁灭.

59:8 They do not know the way of peace, and there is no justice in their firm paths. They have made their paths crooked for themselves; everyone who walks in it knows no peace.
平安的路, 他们不认识, 在他们的行径中没有公平; 他们为自己使道路弯曲, 行在其上的, 都不认识平安.

59:9 Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We wait for light, but look! there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
因此, 公平远离我们, 公义赶不上我们, 我们指望亮光, 不料, 却是黑暗. 我们指望光明, 却行在幽暗中!

59:10 We grope like the blind along a wall, and we grope as without eyes. We stumble at noon as in the twilight; among the strong we are like the dead.
我们摸索墙壁, 好像瞎子一样; 我们摸索, 如同没有眼睛的人一般; 我们在中午跌倒, 有如在黄昏跌倒一样; 我们在肥壮的人中, 好像死人一般.

59:11 We all groan like bears, and we coo mutteringly like doves. We wait for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.
我们都咆哮如熊, 悲鸣像鸽子; 我们等候公平, 却没有公平; 指望拯救, 拯救却离我们很远.

59:12 For our transgressions are numerous before you, and our sins testify against us. Indeed, our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities:
因为我们的过犯在你面前增多, 我们的罪作证控告我们, 我们的过犯与我们在一起; 我们知道我们的罪孽,

59:13 transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God; speaking oppression and falsehood, conceiving and uttering words of deception from the heart.
就是悖逆,否认耶和华, 转去不跟从我们的神, 说欺压和背道的话, 心里怀着谎言, 随即说出来;

59:14 And justice is pushed back, and righteousness stands afar; for truth stumbles in the public square, and straightforwardness is unable to enter,
公平被迫后退, 公义站在远处; 诚实在街上跌倒, 正直不能进入.

59:15 and truth is missing, and he who turns aside from evil is plundered. And Yahweh saw, and it was displeasing in his eyes that there was no justice
诚实缺乏, 远离恶事的人反成为掠物. 耶和华看见了, 就看这为恶事, 因为一点公平也没有.

59:16 And he saw that there was no man, and he was appalled that there was no one who intercedes, so his arm came to assist him, and his righteousness was what sustained him.
他见无人行善, 无人代求, 就非常诧异, 所以他用自己的膀臂为他施行拯救, 以自己的公义扶持他.

59:17 And he put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head, and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and he wrapped himself in zeal as in a robe.
他穿上公义的铠甲, 戴上救恩的头盔, 穿上复仇的衣服, 披上热心作外袍.

59:18 According to deeds, so he will repay; wrath to his enemies, requital to those who are his enemies. He will repay requital to the coastlands.
他要按照各人的行为施行报应, 把烈怒降与他的敌人, 把报应加给他的仇敌, 向众海岛的人施行报应.

59:19 So they shall fear the name of Yahweh from the west, and his glory from the sunrise, for he will come like a narrow stream; the wind of Yahweh drives it on.
这样, 人从日落之处必敬畏耶和华的名, 从日出之地也必敬畏他的荣耀, 仇敌像河水冲来的时候, 耶和华的气必向他催逼.

59:20 “And a redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn away from transgression,” declares Yahweh.
“必有一位救赎主来到锡安, 来到雅各家中那些转离过犯的人那里. ”这是耶和华说的.

59:21 “And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says Yahweh: my spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have placed in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of your children’s children,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”
耶和华说: “至于我, 我与他们所立的约是这样: 我加在你们身上的灵和我放在你口里的话, 必不离开你的口, 不离开你后裔的口, 也不离开你后裔的后裔的口, 从现在直到永远; 这是耶和华说的. ”

62:9 But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh, and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts.
唯有那些收割的人可以吃五谷, 并且赞美耶和华; 那些收集的人可以在我圣所的院子里喝新酒. ”

62:10 Pass through, pass through the gates! Make the way clear for the people! Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones! Lift up an ensign over the peoples!
你们要经过, 要从城门经过, 预备人民的道路; 你们要填高, 要填高大道. 要捡去石头,向万民竖立旗帜.

62:11 Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, “Look, your salvation is coming! Look, his reward is with him, and his reward before him.
看哪! 耶和华曾向地极的人宣告, 说: 你们要对锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)说: ‘看哪! 你的拯救者来到了. 他给予人的赏赐在他那里, 他施予人的报应在他面前. ’”

62:12 And they shall call them “The Holy People, The Redeemed Of Yahweh,” and you shall be called “Sought After, A City Is Not Forsaken.”
人必称他们为圣洁的子民, 为耶和华买赎回来的人; 你也必称为被爱慕的, 不被遗弃的城.

Isaiah - Chapter 63

63:1 Who is this, coming from Edom, from Bozrah in bright red garments? Who is this honored in his garment, lying down in his great strength? “It is I, speaking in justice, mighty to save!”
那从以东,从波斯拉而来, 身穿赤红色的衣服, 装扮华丽,能力强大,大步前行的, 是谁呢? ”就是我, 是凭着公义说话, 有大能拯救的. ”

63:2 Why are your garments red, and your garments like he who treads in the winepress?
你的服装为什么有红色的呢? 你的衣服为什么像个踹压酒池的人的衣服一样呢?

63:3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and there was no man from the peoples with me. And I trod them in my anger, and I trampled them in my wrath, and spattered their juice on my garments, and stained all my clothing,
“我独自踹酒槽; 万民之中没有一人与我同在; 我在忿怒中把他们踹下, 在烈怒中把他们践踏; 他们的血溅在我的衣服上, 我把我所有的衣裳都染污了.

63:4 for the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my blood-vengeance has come!
因为报仇的日子早已在我的心里, 我救赎的年日早已经来到.

63:5 And I looked, but there was no helper, and I was appalled, but there was no one who sustains, so my arm came to assist me, and my wrath was what sustained me.
我观看, 但没有人帮助; 我诧异, 因没有人扶持; 所以我用自己的膀臂为我施行了拯救, 我的烈怒扶持了我,

63:6 And I trampled peoples in my anger, and I made them drunk in my wrath, and I brought their juice down to the earth.”
我在忿怒中践踏万民, 在烈怒中使他们沉醉, 又把他们的血倒在地上. ”

63:7 I will mention the loyal love of Yahweh, the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has done for us, and the greatness of goodness to the house of Israel that he has done to them according to his mercy and the abundance of his loyal love.
我照着耶和华为我们所作的一切, 提说耶和华的慈爱, 耶和华可称颂的事, 和他赐给以色列家的大福, 就是照着他的怜悯和丰盛的慈爱为他们作成的.

63:8 And he said, “Surely my people are children; they will not break faith.” And he became a Savior to them.
他曾说: “他们真是我的子民, 不行虚假的儿子”, 于是, 在他们的一切苦难中, 他就作了他们的拯救者.

63:9 In all their distress, there was no distress, and the messenger of his presence saved them, in his love and compassion he himself redeemed them, and he lifted them up, and he supported them all the days of old.
他不再是敌对者, 并且他面前的使者拯救了他们. 他以自己的爱和怜悯救赎了他们; 在古时的一切日子, 他背负他们, 怀抱他们.

63:10 But they were the ones who rebelled, and they grieved his Holy Spirit, so he became an enemy to them; he himself fought against them.
可是, 他们竟然悖逆, 使他的圣灵忧伤; 所以他转作他们的仇敌, 亲自攻击他们.

63:11 Then his people remembered the days of old, of Moses. Where is the one who led up them from the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who puts his Holy Spirit inside him,
那时, 他们想起古时的日子, 就是摩西和他的人民的日子, 说: 那把人民和他羊群的牧者从海里领上来的, 在哪里呢? 那把自己的圣灵降在他们中间的, 在哪里呢?

63:12 who made his magnificent arm move at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make an everlasting name for himself,
那使自己荣耀的膀臂在摩西的右边行走, 那在他们面前把水分开, 为要建立永远的名的, 他在哪里呢?

63:13 who led them through the depths? They did not stumble like a horse in the desert;
那带领他们走过深海, 像马走过旷野一样, 使他们不致跌倒的, 在哪里呢?

63:14 like cattle in the valley that goes down, the Spirit of Yahweh gave him rest, so you lead your people to make a magnificent name for yourself.
耶和华的灵使他们得了安息, 好像牲畜下到山谷; 你也这样引导你的人民, 为要建立荣耀的名.

63:15 Look from heaven, and see from the lofty residence of your holiness and glory. Where are your zeal and strength? Your compassion and mercy to me hold themselves back.
求你从天上垂顾, 从你圣洁,荣耀的居所观看. 你的热心和你的大能在哪里呢? 你爱心的同情和怜悯向我止住了.

63:16 For you are our father, although Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh are our father, Our Redeemer from of old is your name.
亚伯拉罕虽然不认识我们, 以色列也不承认我们, 但你是我们的父. 耶和华啊! 你是我们的父, 从亘古以来, 你的名字就是“我们的救赎主”.

63:17 Why do you make us wander, Yahweh? You harden our heart from your ways so that we do not fear you. Turn back for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
耶和华啊! 你为什么使我们走错, 离开你的道路? 使我们的心刚硬, 不敬畏你呢? 求你为你众仆人的缘故, 为你产业的各支派的缘故, 回心转意吧!

63:18 Your holy people took possession for a little while; our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
你的圣民不过暂时得着你的圣所, 我们的敌人已经践踏了你的圣所.

63:19 We have been since antiquity; you did not rule them; they were not called by your name.
我们成了好像你从未治理过的人, 又像未曾得称为你名下的人.

Isaiah - Chapter 64

64:1 Would that you would tear the heavens and come down; the mountains would quake before you,
愿你裂天而降! 愿群山都在你面前震动!

64:2 as fire kindles brushwood, the fire causes water to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations might tremble from your presence.
好像火烧着干柴, 又像火把水烧开, 使你的敌人认识你的名, 使列国在你面前发颤.

64:3 When you did terrible deeds which we did not expect, you came down; the mountains quaked because of your presence.
你行了可畏的事, 是我们料想不到的, 那时你降临, 群山都在你面前震动.

64:4 And since ancient times they have not heard, have not listened, no eye has seen a God except you; he acts for the one who waits for him.
从古时以来, 人未曾听过, 耳未曾闻过, 眼未曾见过, 在你以外还有什么神, 能为等候他的人行事的.

64:5 You meet with the one who rejoices, one who does righteousness. In your ways they remember you. Look! You were angry and we sinned against them in ancient times and we were saved.
你善待那些喜欢行义, 在你的道路上记念你的人. 看哪! 你曾发怒, 因为我们犯了罪; 这样的情形已经很久, 我们还能得救吗?

64:6 And we all have become like the unclean, and all our deeds of justice like a menstrual cloth, And we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities take us away like the wind.
我们众人都像不洁净的人, 我们所有的义, 都像污秽的衣服; 我们众人都像叶子枯干, 我们的罪孽好像风一般把我们吹去.

64:7 And there is no one who calls on your name, who pulls himself up to keep hold of you, for you have hidden your face from us, and melted us into the hand of our iniquity.
没有人呼求你的名, 没有人奋起抓着你; 因为你掩面不顾我们, 使我们在自己罪孽的权势下融化.

64:8 Yet now Yahweh, you are our father; we are the clay and you are our potter, and we all are the work of your hand.
耶和华啊! 现在你还是我们的父; 我们不过是泥土, 你才是陶匠; 我们众人都是你手所作的.

64:9 You must not be exceedingly angry, Yahweh, and you must not remember iniquity forever! Look! Behold, now! We all are your people!
耶和华啊! 求你不要大发烈怒. 不要永远记念罪孽. 求你垂看我们, 我们众人都是你的子民.

64:10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness; Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
你的圣城变了旷野, 锡安成了旷野, 耶路撒冷成了荒场.

64:11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our ancestors praised you has been burned by fire, and all our precious objects have become ruins.
我们那圣洁和荣美的殿, 就是我们的列祖赞美你的所在, 被火烧了. 我们所喜爱的一切, 都成了废墟.

64:12 Will you control yourself because of these, Yahweh? Will you be silent? And will you oppress us exceedingly?
耶和华啊! 对这些事你还忍得住吗? 你仍然缄默不言, 使我们受苦到极点吗?

Isaiah - Chapter 65

65:1 “I let myself be sought by those who did not ask; I let myself be found by those who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am; here I am!’ to a nation that did not call on my name;
没有求问我的, 我让他们寻着; 没有寻找我的, 我让他们遇见. 没有呼求我名的国, 我对他们说: “我在这里! 我在这里! ”

65:2 I spread out my hands all day to a stubborn people, those who walk after their thoughts in the way that is not good,
我整天向着悖逆的子民伸开双手, 他们随着自己的意念行不善的道.

65:3 the people who provoke me to anger continually to my face, slaughtering for sacrifices in the garden, and making smoke offerings on bricks,
这人民常常当面惹我发怒, 在园中献祭, 在砖坛上烧香,

65:4 who sit in graves and spend the night in secret places, who eat the flesh of swine with a fragment of impurity in their vessels,
坐在坟墓之间, 在隐密处过夜, 吃猪肉, 他们的器皿中有不洁之物作的汤,

65:5 who say, “Keep to yourself! You must not come near me, for I am too holy for you!” These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire burning all day.
并且对人说: “你站远一点! 不要挨近我, 因为我会使你圣洁. ”主说: “这些人是我鼻中的烟, 是整天烧着的火.

65:6 Look! It is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will repay; and I will repay in the fold of their garment
看哪! 这都写在我面前, 我必不缄默不言, 我非报应不可, 我必报应在他们的怀中.

65:7 your iniquities and the iniquities of your ancestors together, says Yahweh, because they made smoke offerings on the mountains and they taunted me on the hills, I will measure their punishment from the beginning into the fold of their garment.”
我要同时报应你们的罪孽和你们列祖的罪孽, 这是耶和华说的, 因为他们曾在山上烧过香, 在冈陵上讥笑过我, 我必把他们以前所行的量在他们的怀中. ”

65:8 Thus says Yahweh: “Just as the new wine is found in the cluster, and they say ‘You must not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,’ so I will do for the sake of my servants by not destroying everyone.
耶和华这样说: “人怎样发现累累葡萄中有新酒的时候, 就说: ‘不要毁灭它, 因为有好处在里面’, 我因我的众仆人的缘故也必照样而行, 不把它们全都毁灭.

65:9 And I will bring descendant s out from Jacob, and a people from Judah to take possession of my mountain, and my chosen ones shall inherit it, and my servants shall settle there.
我要从雅各中领出后裔, 从犹大中领出承受我众山的; 我拣选的人必承受那地为业, 我的众仆人必在那里居住.

65:10 And Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting place for herds for my people who have sought me.
沙仑平原必成为羊群的牧场, 亚割谷要成为牛群躺卧之处, 都为那些寻求我的子民所得.

65:11 But you who forsake Yahweh, forgetting my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who pour out a jug of mixed wine for Destiny,
“但至于你们, 你们这些离弃耶和华的, 忘记我的圣山的, 为迦得神摆设筵席的, 给弥尼神盛满调和之酒的,

65:12 and I will remit you to the sword, and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter, because I called, but you did not answer; I spoke, but you did not listen, but you did the evil in my eyes, and you chose that in which I do not delight.”
我要命定你们归在刀下, 你们众人都要屈身被杀; 因为我呼唤, 你们不回答; 我说话, 你们都不听. 反倒行我眼中看为恶的事, 拣选我不喜悦的事. ”

65:13 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! My servants shall eat but you, you shall be hungry. Look! My servants shall drink but you, you shall be thirsty. Look! My servants shall rejoice but you, you shall be ashamed.
因此主耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我的众仆人必有吃的, 你们却要饥饿; 看哪! 我的仆人必有喝的, 你们却要口渴; 看哪! 我的仆人必要欢喜, 你们却要蒙羞;

65:14 Look! My servants shall shout for joy, but you, you shall cry out for pain and howl for sadness.
看哪! 我的仆人必因心里高兴而欢呼, 你们却要因心中伤痛而哀叫, 因灵里破碎而哀号.

65:15 And you shall leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse, and the Lord Yahweh will kill you, and he will give his servants another name.
你们必留下自己的名, 作我选民的咒语; 主耶和华必杀死你们, 必用另外的名去称呼他自己的仆人.

65:16 Whoever blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of trustworthiness, and the one who swears an oath in the land shall swear by the God of trustworthiness, because the former troubles are forgotten, and they are hidden from my eyes.
所以, 在地上为自己求福的, 必凭着真实的神求福; 在地上起誓的, 必凭着真实的神起誓. 因为先前的患难都已经被人忘记了, 也从我的眼前隐藏了.

65:17 For look! I am about to create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered, and they shall not come to mind.
“看哪! 我要创造新天新地; 先前的事不再被人记念, 也不再涌上心头了.

65:18 But rejoice and shout in exultation forever and ever over what I am about to create! For look! I am about to create Jerusalem as a source of rejoicing, and her people as a source of joy.
你们要因我所创造的永远欢喜快乐; 因为我创造耶路撒冷成为快乐, 使她的居民欢乐.

65:19 And I will shout in exultation over Jerusalem, and I will rejoice over my people, and the sound of weeping shall no longer be heard in it, or the sound of a cry for help.
我必因耶路撒冷快乐, 因我的子民欢喜; 他们中间必不再听到哭泣的声音, 也不再听到哀号的声音.

65:20 There will no longer be a nursing infant who lives only a few days, or an old man who does not fill his days, for the boy will die a hundred years old, and the one who fails to reach a hundred years will be considered accursed.
那里必再没有数日夭折的婴孩, 也没有不满寿数的老人; 因为百岁而死的人, 仍算是年轻人; 有活不到百岁而死的人算是被咒诅的.

65:21 And they shall build houses and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
他们必建造房屋, 住在其中; 他们必栽种葡萄园, 吃其中的果子.

65:22 They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat. For the days of my people shall be like the days of a tree, and my chosen ones shall enjoy the work of their hands.
他们不建造由别人来居住的房屋; 他们不栽种由别人来享用的葡萄园; 因为我的子民的日子必像树木的日子; 我的选民必充分享用他们亲手作工得来的.

65:23 They shall not labor for nothing, and they shall not give birth to horror, for they shall be offspring blessed by Yahweh, and their descendants with them.
他们必不徒然劳碌, 他们生孩子不再受惊吓, 因为他们都是蒙耶和华赐福的后裔, 他们的子孙也跟他们一样.

65:24 And this will happen: before they call, I myself will answer; while still they are speaking, I myself will hear.
那时, 他们还未呼求, 我就应允, 他们还在说话, 我就垂听.

65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed like one, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox, but dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall do no evil, and they shall not destroy on all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
豺狼必与羊羔在一起吃东西, 狮子要像牛一样吃草, 蛇必以尘土为食物. 在我圣山的各处, 它们都必不作恶, 也不害物; 这是耶和华说的. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 66

66:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is the footstool for my feet. Where is this house that you would build for me? And where is this resting place for me?
耶和华这样说: “天是我的宝座, 地是我的脚凳; 你们要在哪里为我建造殿宇呢? 怎样的地方才是我安息的所在呢? ”

66:2 And my hand has made all these things, and all these came to be,” declares Yahweh, “but I look to this one: to the humble and the contrite of spirit and the one frightened at my word.
耶和华说: “这一切都是我亲手所造的, 所以它们就有了. 以下这种人是我要垂顾的, 就是谦卑,心灵伤痛,因我的话而战兢的人.

66:3 The one who slaughters a bull strikes a man; the one who slaughters a lamb for sacrifice breaks the neck of a dog. The one who offers an offering, the blood of swine; the one who offers frankincense blesses an idol. Indeed, they themselves have chosen their ways, and their soul delights in their abhorrence.
宰牛献祭, 又杀人, 献羊羔为祭, 又打折狗的颈项; 献上素祭, 又献上猪血; 烧乳香作记念祭, 又称颂虚无之神; 他们选择他们自己的道路, 他们的心里喜悦他们那些可憎恶的事.

66:4 Indeed, I myself I will choose their ill treatment, and I will bring them objects of their dread, because I called, and no one answered; I spoke and they did not listen, but they did the evil in my eyes, and they chose that in which I do not delight.”
所以, 我也必选择迷惑他们的事, 使他们所惧怕的临到他们身上; 因为我呼唤你们, 却没有人回答; 我说话, 你们都不听, 反倒行我眼中看为恶的事, 选择我所不喜悦的事. ”

66:5 Hear the word of Yahweh, you who are frightened at his word: Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for my name’s sake have said, “Let Yahweh be honored so that we may see your joy!” But they themselves shall be ashamed.
因耶和华的话而战兢的人哪! 你们要听他的话. 他说: “你们的兄弟, 就是那些憎恨你们,因我的名赶走你们的, 曾说: ‘愿耶和华得荣耀; 让我们看见你们的喜乐. ’他们却要蒙羞.

66:6 A voice, an uproar from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of Yahweh paying back his enemies!
听啊! 有喧嚷的声音出自城中; 有声音出于殿里. 这是耶和华向他的仇敌施行报应的声音!

66:7 Before she was in labor she gave birth; before labor pains came to her, she gave birth to a son.
锡安没有绞痛就生产; 疼痛没有临到她身上, 就生了一个男孩.

66:8 Who has heard anything like this? Who has seen anything like these things? Can a land be born in one day? Or can a nation be born in a moment? Yet when she was in labor, Zion indeed gave birth to her children.
像以下这样的事, 谁曾听过呢? 像下面这些事, 谁曾见过呢? 一地之民能在一天之内就产生吗? 一国的人能在一时之间就生下来吗? 但锡安一绞痛, 就生下了儿女.

66:9 Shall I myself I break open and not deliver?” says Yahweh, “or I who delivers lock up the womb?” says your God.
耶和华说: ‘我既然使她临盆, 又怎能不使她生产呢? ’你的神说: ‘我既然使她生产, 又怎能使她闭胎不生呢? ’

66:10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem and shout in exultation with her, all those who love her! Rejoice with her in joy, all those who mourn over her,
所有爱慕耶路撒冷的人哪! 你们都要与她一同欢喜, 都要因她快乐; 所有为耶路撒冷哀悼的人哪! 你们都要与她一同尽情欢乐.

66:11 so that you may suck and be satisfied from her consoling breast, so that you may drink deeply and refresh yourselves from her heavy breast.”
好使你们能在她那安慰人的怀里吃奶得饱; 使你们能从她丰盛的荣耀里挤奶而吃, 满心喜乐. ”

66:12 For thus says Yahweh: “Look! I am about to spread prosperity out to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you shall suck and be carried on the hip; and you shall you shall be played with on the knees.
因为耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我必使平安达到她那里, 好像江河一样, 使列国的财宝达到她那里, 如同涨溢的河流一般; 你们要吮奶, 你们必被抱在怀中, 抚弄在膝上.

66:13 As a man whose mother comforts him, so I myself will comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
人怎样受他母亲的安慰, 我也怎样安慰你们; 你们要在耶路撒冷得安慰. ”

66:14 And you shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass, and the hand of Yahweh shall make itself known to his servants, and he shall curse his enemies.
你们看见了, 就心里快乐, 你们的骨头必像嫩草一样长起来, 耶和华的手必向他的仆人显现, 他必向他的仇敌发怒.

66:15 For look! Yahweh will come in fire, and his chariots like the storm wind, to give back his anger in wrath, and his rebuke in flames of fire.
看哪! 耶和华必在火中降临, 他的战车好像旋风; 他要以猛烈的怒气施行报应, 用火焰施行斥责.

66:16 For Yahweh enters into judgment on all flesh with fire and his sword, and those slain by Yahweh shall be many.
因为耶和华必用火和刀剑, 在所有的人身上施行审判, 被耶和华所杀的人必定很多.

66:17 Those who sanctify themselves and those who cleanse themselves to go into the gardens after the one in the middle, eating the flesh of swine and detestable things and rodents together shall come to an end!” declares Yahweh.
那些自己分别为圣, 又洁净自己, 进到园里, 在园中一个跟一个, 吃猪肉,老鼠和可憎之物. 他们都必一同灭亡; 这是耶和华说的.

66:18 “And I—their works and thoughts!—am about to come to gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come and see my glory.
我知道他们的行为和意念; 我要来, 聚集万国万族; 他们都必来看我的荣耀.

66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow; Tubal and Javan, the faraway coastlands that have not heard of my fame, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations,
我要在他们中间施行神迹, 从他们中间差遣所有逃脱的人到列国去, 就是到他施,普勒,善于拉弓的路德,土巴和雅完, 以及从未听过我的名声,从未见过我的荣耀的遥远众海岛; 他们必把我的荣耀传扬在列国中.

66:20 and bring all your countrymen from all the nations as an offering to Yahweh on horses and chariots and in litters and on mules and camels, to my holy mountain, Jerusalem,” says Yahweh, “just as the sons of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of Yahweh.
他们要从万国中用马,用车,用轿,用骡子,用独峰驼, 把你们所有的兄弟都送到我的圣山耶路撒冷来, 作供物献给耶和华, 好像以色列人用洁净的器皿把供物送到耶和华的殿一样; 这是耶和华说的.

66:21 And indeed, I will take some of them as priests and the Levites,” says Yahweh.
耶和华说: “我也必从他们中间取些人作祭司和作利未人. ”

66:22 “For just as the new heavens and earth that I am about to make shall stand before me,” declares Yahweh, “so shall your descendants and your name stand.
耶和华说: “我所要造的新天新地怎样在我面前留存, 你们的后裔和你们的名字也必怎样长存.

66:23 And this shall happen: From new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath all flesh shall come to bow in worship before me,” says Yahweh.
将来每逢月朔, 每逢安息日, 所有的人都必来在我面前敬拜; 这是耶和华说的.

66:24 “And they shall go out and look at the corpses of the people who have rebelled against me, for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
他们要出去, 观看那些悖逆我的人的尸体; 因为他们的虫是不死的, 他们的火是不灭的; 他们必成为所有人恨恶的东西. ”

1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you came out from the womb I consecrated you; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
“我使你在母腹中成形以先, 就认识你; 你还未出母胎, 我已把你分别为圣, 立你作列国的先知. ”

1:6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.”
我就说: “主耶和华啊! 我不晓得说话, 因为我年轻. ”

1:7 But Yahweh said to me, “You must not say, ‘I am a youth,’ for to whomever I send you, you will go, and whatever I command you, you will speak.
耶和华对我说: “你不要说: ‘我年轻’, 因为无论我差你到谁那里, 你都要去; 无论我吩咐你说什么, 你都要说.

1:8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
你不要怕他们, 因为我与你同在, 要拯救你. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

耶和华对我说: “你看得不错, 因为我要留意使我的话成就. ”

在你衣襟上又发现无辜穷人的血, 并且你不是发现他们在挖窟窿时杀他们的. 虽然这样,

2:35 yet you say, ‘But I am innocent, surely his anger has turned away from me.’ Look, I am entering into judgment with you because of your saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
你还说: 我是无辜的, 他的怒气必已离开我. 看哪! 我要审判你, 因为你曾说: 我没有犯罪!

2:36 How you go about so much changing your way! Also by Egypt you will be put to shame, just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
你为什么要东奔西跑, 改变你的路向呢? 你必因埃及蒙羞, 像你从前因亚述受辱一样.

2:37 Also from there you will come out with your hands on your head, for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you will not prosper through them.
你必双手抱头从埃及出来, 因为耶和华弃绝了你所倚靠的, 你靠他们必不能成功. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 3

3:1 A saying: ‘Look, if a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and she becomes another man’s wife, will he return to her again?’ Will not that land be greatly defiled? And you have prostituted yourself with many lovers, would you now return to me?” declares Yahweh.

在那些日子, 犹大家必与以色列家同行, 他们必从北方之地一同来到我赐给你们列祖为业的地方. ’”

你这被毁坏的啊! 你在干什么? 即使你穿上朱红色的服装, 佩戴黄金饰物, 用颜料画大你的眼睛, 你自炫漂亮, 也是白费的. 爱你的人仍然鄙视你, 他们都在寻索你的命!

4:31 For I heard a voice like an ill woman, anxiety like a woman who bears her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion. She is gasping for breath, she is spreading out her hands: “Woe is me, for I am becoming tired before killers.”
我听到好像妇人产痛的叫声, 正像生头胎孩子的妇人疼痛的叫声, 就是锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的声音, 他们喘着气, 伸开双手, 说: “哎! 我有祸了! 在那些杀人者跟前, 我发昏了! ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 5

5:1 “Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, and look please, and take note, and search at its public squares, if you can find a person who does justice, who seeks honesty, so that I may forgive it.
“你们去走遍耶路撒冷的街道, 到处观察留意, 又在城的广场上寻觅; 如果能找到一个行正义,求诚实的人, 我就赦免这城.

5:2 And though they say, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ therefore they swear falsely.”
城里的人虽然指着永活的耶和华起誓, 其实, 他们起的誓是假的. ”

5:3 O Yahweh, do not your eyes look for honesty? You have struck them, but they felt no pain, you have destroyed them, they refused to take discipline. They have hardened their faces more than rock, they have refused to turn back.
耶和华啊! 你的眼目不是要看诚实的事吗? 你击打他们, 他们却不觉得伤痛; 你摧毁他们, 他们仍不肯接受管教. 他们板着脸, 脸皮比磐石还硬, 总不肯回转.

5:4 Then I said, “They are just simple people, they are foolish, for they know not the way of Yahweh, the law of their God.
我说: “这些人只是贫穷小民, 为人愚昧; 他们不晓得耶和华的道路, 也不明白他们神的法则.

5:5 Let me go to the great, and let me speak with them, for they know the way of Yahweh, the law of their God.” However, they together have broken the yoke, they have torn to pieces the bonds.
我要亲自去见那些权贵领袖, 跟他们谈谈; 因为他们晓得耶和华的道路, 也明白他们神的法则. ”谁知他们竟一起把轭折断, 挣脱绳索.

5:6 Therefore a lion from the forest will kill them, A wolf from the desert plains will devastate them. A leopard is watching their cities, everyone who goes out from there will be torn, because their transgressions are many, their apostasies are numerous.
因此, 狮子必从林中出来袭击他们, 旷野的豺狼要杀害他们, 豹子在他们的城边窥伺, 出城的都必被撕碎; 因为他们的过犯众多, 背道的事也无法数算.

5:7 “How can I forgive you? Your children have forsaken me, and they have sworn by those who are not gods. But I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and flocked to the house of a prostitute.
“为什么我要赦免你? 你的儿女离弃我, 指着那些不是神的起誓. 我使他们饱足, 他们却去行淫, 一起挤在妓院里.

5:8 They were well-fed lusty horses, they neighed each to the wife of his neighbor.
他们像饱食的马, 情欲奔放, 各向别人的妻子嘶叫.

5:9 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares Yahweh, “and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
我因这些事怎能不施行惩罚呢? 像这样的国家, 我怎能不亲自报复呢? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

5:10 Go up through her vineyards and destroy, but you must not make complete destruction. Remove her branches, for they are not to Yahweh.
“你们要走进她的葡萄园(“葡萄园”原文作“葡萄树的行列”)里施行毁坏, 但不可毁灭她的枝子, 因为它们不属耶和华.

5:11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt utterly treacherously with me,” declares Yahweh.
以色列家和犹大家, 待我实在太奸诈了. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

5:12 “They have denied Yahweh, and have said, ‘Not he, for evil will not come on us, we will see neither sword nor famine.
他们不信耶和华, 说: “他不会作什么, 灾祸必不临到我们, 我们也不会看见刀剑和饥荒.

5:13 And the prophets are like wind, and the word is not in them.’ Thus it will be done to them.”
先知不过是一阵风, 主的道也不在他们里面; 他们所说的必临到他们身上. ”

5:14 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, “Because you have spoken this word, look, I am making my words in your mouth like a fire, and this people wood, and it will devour them.
因此, 耶和华万军之神这样说: “因他们说了这话, 我必使我的话在你口中成为火, 使这人民成为柴, 火要把他们吞灭.

5:15 Look, I am about to bring on you a nation from afar, O house of Israel,” declares Yahweh. “It is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation. A nation whose language you do not know, and you cannot understand what they speak.
以色列家啊! 我必使一国从远方来攻击你们. ”这是耶和华的宣告. ”那国历久不衰, 从古就有; 他们的言语你们不懂得, 他们所说的你们不明白.

5:16 Their quiver is like an open tomb, all of them are warriors.
他们的箭囊像敞开的坟墓, 他们尽都是勇士.

5:17 And they will eat your harvest and your food, they will eat your sons and your daughters, they will eat your flock and your herd, they will eat your vine and your fig tree, they will smash with the sword your fortified cities, in which you trust.
他们必吞灭你们的庄稼和粮食, 吞灭你的儿女, 你们的羊群牛群, 以及你们的葡萄和无花果; 他们也必用刀剑毁坏你们所倚仗的坚固城.

5:18 “But even in those days,” declares Yahweh, “I will not make you a complete destruction.
就是到了那时, 我也不把你们完全毁灭. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

5:19 And then, when you people say, ‘Why has Yahweh our God done all of these things to us?’ Then you will say to them, ‘As you have forsaken me and have served gods of a foreign land in your land, so will you serve strangers in a land that does not belong to you.’
“将来如果有人问: ‘耶和华我们的神, 为什么向我们行这一切事呢? ’你就要对他们说: ‘你们怎样离弃我, 在你们的土地上事奉外族人的神, 你们也要在不属你们的土地上照样服事外族人. ’”

5:20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim it in Judah, saying,
你们要在雅各家宣告这事, 在犹大传扬, 说:

5:21 ‘Hear this please, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear.’
“愚昧无知的民哪! 你们有眼不能看, 有耳不能听; 你们应当听这话:

5:22 Do you not revere me?” declares Yahweh, “Do you not tremble before me? For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, as an everlasting limit, and it cannot pass over it, and they rise and fall loudly, but they cannot prevail, and its waves roar, but they cannot pass over it.
‘你们连我都不惧怕吗? 在我面前你们也不战兢吗? ’这是耶和华的宣告. ’我以沙作海的疆界, 作永远的界限, 海就不能越过; 波浪翻腾, 却不能漫过; 怒涛澎湃, 仍无法逾越.

5:23 But for this people is a stubborn and rebellious heart, they have turned aside and have gone away.
可是这人民, 竟存着顽梗悖逆的心; 背我而去. ’

5:24 And they do not say in their hearts, ‘Let us fear please Yahweh our God, the one who gives the autumn rain and the spring rain in its season, the set times of the harvest he keeps for us.’
他们心里也不想想: ‘我们应当敬畏耶和华我们的神, 他按时赐雨, 就是秋雨春霖, 又为我们保存定时收割的节令. ’

5:25 Your iniquities have disturbed these, and your sins have kept away the good from you.
你们的罪孽使这些都离开了, 你们的罪恶剥夺了你们的幸福.

5:26 For wicked people are found among my people, they lie in wait like the hiding of fowlers, they set up a trap, they catch humans.
在我的子民中发现了恶人, 他们好像捕鸟的人蹲伏窥探, 装置网罗捕捉人.

5:27 Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of fraud. Therefore they have become great, and they have become rich.
笼中怎样满了雀鸟, 他们的屋里也满了诡诈; 他们就因此财雄势大.

5:28 They have grown fat, they have grown sleek, also, their evil deeds have no limit. They do not judge with justice, the legal cause of the orphan, or allow it to succeed, and the legal case of the poor, they do not defend.
他们肥胖光润, 作尽各种坏事; 他们不为人辩护, 不替孤儿辨屈, 使他们获益, 也不为穷人伸冤.

5:29 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares Yahweh, “and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
我因这些事怎能不施行惩罚呢? 像这样的国家, 我怎能不亲自报复呢? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

5:30 A horrific event and something horrible has happened in the land.
“恐怖骇人的事在国中发生了.

5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it so much. But what will you do when the end comes?
先知说假预言, 祭司凭己意把持权柄. 我的子民竟喜爱这样, 到了结局你们怎么办呢? ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 6

6:1 Flee for safety, O children of Benjamin, from the midst of Jerusalem. And in Tekoa blow a horn, and on Beth-haccherem lift up a signal, for evil looks down from the north, and a great destruction.
“便雅悯人哪! 赶快逃命, 离开耶路撒冷. 你们要在提哥亚吹角, 在伯．哈基琳升烽火; 因为灾祸和严重的毁灭, 已从北方迫近.

6:2 The lovely and the delicate, the daughter of Jerusalem, I will destroy.
美丽高贵的锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”), 我必除灭你们.

6:3 Shepherds and their flocks will come against her, they will pitch their tents against her all around, they will pasture, each his portion.
牧人必带着他们的羊群, 来到锡安那里, 在城的四围支搭帐棚, 各在自己的地方分别牧放羊群. ”

6:4 Sanctify war against her. Arise, and let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the day turns, for the shadows of evening are lengthened.
“你们要备战攻击她! 起来! 我们趁着正午上去. 唉! 可惜日渐西沉, 暮影拖长了!

6:5 Arise, and let us attack by night, and let us destroy her citadel fortresses.”
起来! 我们趁着夜间上去, 毁坏她的堡垒. ”

6:6 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Cut down trees and heap up a siege ramp against Jerusalem. This is the city that must be punished, its oppression is in its midst.
因为万军之耶和华这样说: “砍下她的树木, 筑垒攻打耶路撒冷; 她是那该受惩罚的城, 其中尽是欺压的事.

6:7 As a water well keeps its water cool, so she keeps cool her wickedness. Violence and destruction are heard within her, sickness and wounds are continually before me.
井怎样涌出水来, 这城也怎样涌出恶来; 城中常常听到强暴和毁灭的事, 在我面前不断有病患与创伤.

6:8 Be warned, O Jerusalem, lest I turn away from you in disgust, lest I make you a desolation, a land that is not inhabited.”
耶路撒冷啊! 应当受警戒, 免得我的心与你疏远, 免得我使你荒凉, 成为无人居住之地. ”

6:9 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine, turn back your hand over the branches like a grape-gatherer.
万军之耶和华这样说: “任凭他们像摘净葡萄一样对待以色列剩下的人; 你要像摘葡萄的人, 向枝子伸手, 摘了又摘. ”

6:10 To whom shall I speak and admonish, that they may hear? Look, their ears are closed, and they are not able to listen attentively. Look, the word of Yahweh is to them an object of scorn, they do not delight in it.
我可以向谁说话, 向谁警告, 使他们可以听从呢? 他们的耳朵未受割礼, 不能听闻; 看哪! 他们以耶和华的话为羞辱, 一点也不喜欢.

6:11 But I am full with the wrath of Yahweh, I struggle to hold it in. Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assemblies of young men at the same time. For even husband with wife will get trapped, the old with him who is full of days.
因此, 我心里充满耶和华的忿怒, 无法容忍. ”你要把我的忿怒向街上的孩童倾倒, 又倾在联群集结的年轻人身上. 夫妻一起被捉住, 年老的,寿高的也不例外.

6:12 And their houses will be turned over to others, their fields and their wives together. For I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land,” declares Yahweh.
他们的房屋,田地与妻子, 都要一起转归别人; 因为我要伸手, 攻击这地的居民. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

6:13 “For from the smallest of them to the greatest of them, everyone makes profit for unlawful gain. And from the prophet to the priest, everyone practices deceit.
“他们从最小的到最大的, 个个都贪图不义之财; 从先知到祭司, 全都行事诡诈.

6:14 And they have treated the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.
他们草率地医治我子民(“我子民”原文作“我子民的女子”)的损伤, 说: ‘平安了! 平安了! ’其实没有平安. ”

6:15 Have they acted ashamed, for they have committed a detestable thing? Not at all, nor were they ashamed; they did not know to feel humiliated. Therefore they will fall among those who fall at the time I punish them, they will stumble,” says Yahweh.
耶和华说: “他们行了可憎的事, 本应觉得羞愧, 可是他们一点羞愧都没有, 恬不知耻. 因此他们必仆倒在倒下的人中间, 我惩罚他们的时候, 他们必倒下来. ”

6:16 Thus says Yahweh: “Stand at the roads and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the way of the good is, and walk in it, and find rest for your inner selves. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
耶和华这样说: “你们要站在路上察看, 寻访远古的路径, 看哪一条是美善的路, 就走在其中; 这样, 你们心里就必得安息. 他们却说: ‘我们不走在其中. ’

6:17 And I raised up watchmen over you: ‘Listen attentively to the sound of a horn.’ But they said, ‘We will not listen attentively.’

列国啊! 因此你们要听. 以色列会众啊! 要晓得他们将遭遇的.

6:19 Hear, O earth, look, I am about to bring disaster to this people, the fruit of their plans, because they have not listened attentively to my words, and my teaching, they have rejected it also.
大地啊, 要听! 我必使灾祸临到这人民, 这是他们的意图带来的结果; 因为他们没有留心听我的话, 我的律法他们也弃绝了.

6:20 What is this to me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, and the precious spice reed from a distant land. Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
从示巴来的乳香, 从远地出的菖蒲, 献给我有什么益处呢? 你们的燔祭不蒙悦纳, 你们的祭祀我不喜悦. ”

6:21 Therefore thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am about to put before this people stumbling blocks, and they will stumble against them, fathers and children together, neighbor and his friend will perish.”
因此, 耶和华这样说: “我要把绊脚石放在这人民的前面, 他们父子一起在其上绊倒, 邻舍与朋友也都灭亡. ”

6:22 Thus says Yahweh: “Look, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is woken up from the farthest part of the earth.
耶和华这样说: “看哪! 有一个民族从北方之地而来, 有一大国被激动从地极来到.

6:23 The bow and the short sword they grasp are cruel, and they show no mercy. Their sound roars like the sea, and on horses they ride, drawn up like a man for battle against you, O daughter of Zion.”
他们紧握弓和枪, 性情残忍, 毫无怜悯; 他们的声音像海洋怒吼; 锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)哪! 他们骑着战马, 在战场上如同一人, 列阵攻击你们. ”

6:24 We have heard news of it, our hands grow slack, anxiety has grasped us, pain as a woman who gives birth.
我们听到有关他们的消息, 手就发软; 痛苦紧紧抓住我们, 我们疼痛好像正在生产的妇人.

6:25 You must not go out into the field, and you must not walk on the road, for the enemy has a sword, terror is all around.
你们不要出到田野去, 也不要在路上走, 因为四围有仇敌的刀剑和惊吓.

6:26 O daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth, and roll about in the ashes in mourning, a mourning ceremony as for an only child. Make for yourself wailing of bitterness, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
我的同胞(“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”)啊! 应当披上麻布, 在灰尘中打滚, 悲哀如丧独生子, 号咷痛哭, 因为有行毁灭的会突然攻击我们.

6:27 “I have made you an assayer among my people, a fortification, so that you may know and put to the test their ways.
“我使你在我子民中作鉴辨和试验的, 好让你查察,鉴别他们的行径. ”

6:30 They are called rejected silver, For Yahweh has rejected them.”
人要称他们为被弃的银渣, 因为耶和华把他们弃绝了.

Jeremiah - Chapter 7

7:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华有话临到耶利米, 说:

7:2 “Stand in the gate of the house of Yahweh and proclaim there this word, and say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, all of Judah, those who enter through these gates to bow in worship to Yahweh.
“你要站在耶和华的殿门口, 在那里宣告这话, 说: ‘所有进这些门来敬拜耶和华的犹大人哪! 你们都要听耶和华的话. ’”

7:3 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Make your ways and your deeds good and let me dwell with you in this place.
万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: “你们要改正自己的所作所为, 我就让你们在这地方居住.

7:4 Do not trust in the deceitful words, saying, ‘The temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, they are the temple of Yahweh.’
你们不要倚靠虚谎的话, 说: ‘这是耶和华的殿, 是耶和华的殿, 是耶和华的殿. ’

7:5 For if you truly make your ways and your deeds good, if you truly do justice between a man and his neighbor,
如果你们实在改正自己的所作所为, 人与人之间认真施行公正;

7:6 you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, you do not shed innocent blood in this place, and you do not go after other gods to your harm,
如果你们不欺压寄居的, 不欺压孤儿寡妇, 不在这地方流无辜人的血, 也不跟从别的神, 自招祸患;

7:7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your ancestors forever and ever.
我就让你们在赐给你们列祖直到永远的这地方居住.

7:8 Look, you are relying for yourselves on deceitful words without benefiting.
“可是, 你们竟然倚靠虚谎无益的话.

7:9 Will you steal? Will you murder? And will you commit adultery? And will you swear falsely? And will you make a smoke offering to the Baal? And will you go after other gods whom you have not known?
你们怎可偷盗,凶杀,奸淫,起假誓,向巴力烧香, 跟从你们素不认识的别神,

7:10 And then you come and you stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and you say, ‘we are safe to go on doing all of these detestable things.’
然后来到这称为我名下的殿, 站在我面前, 说: ‘我们安全啦! ’你们这样就可以行这一切可憎的事吗?

7:11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a cave of robbers in your eyes? Look, I, even I, have seen it,” declares Yahweh.
这称为我名下的殿, 难道在你们眼中看为贼窝吗? 但我都看见了. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

7:12 “For go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell in the beginning, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
“你们可以到示罗我的地方去, 就是先前我名的居所, 看看我因我子民以色列的邪恶, 对那地方所行的.

7:13 And now, because of your doing all these things,” declares Yahweh, “and I have spoken to you over and over again, and you have not listened, and I called you, and you have not answered,
现在, 因你们行了这一切事, 我不断恳切告诫你们, 你们却不听; 我呼唤你们, 你们却不答话. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

7:14 therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, in which you are trusting, and to the place that I gave to you and to your ancestors what I did to Shiloh.
“所以我从前怎样对待示罗, 将来也怎样对待你们所倚靠的那称为我名下的殿, 以及我赐给你们和你们列祖的地方.

7:15 And I will cast you out of my sight just as I cast out all of your blood relatives, all of the offspring of Ephraim.” ’
我必把你们从我面前赶出, 像我从前赶出你们的众兄弟, 以法莲所有的后裔一样.

7:16 “And you, you must not pray for this people, and you must not lift up for them a cry of entreaty or a prayer, and you must not plead with me, for I will not hear you.
“至于你, 不要为这人民祈祷, 不要为他们呼求祷告, 也不要为他们向我恳求, 因为我不会听你.

7:17 Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
他们在犹大的各城中, 在耶路撒冷的街道上所行的, 你没有看见吗?

7:18 The children are gathering wood, and the fathers are kindling the fire, and the women are kneading dough to make sacrificial cakes for the queen of heaven, and they pour out libations to other gods for the sake of provoking me to anger.
儿子捡柴, 父亲生火, 妇女抟面, 为天后做饼, 又向别的神浇奠祭, 惹我发怒.

7:19 Are they provoking me to anger? ” declares Yahweh, “Is it not themselves they hurt, for the sake of the shame of their faces?”
他们害的是我吗? 岂不是他们自己, 以致脸上蒙羞吗? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

7:20 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Look, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on the humankind, and on the animal, and on the tree of the field, and on the fruit of the ground, and it will not be extinguished.”
因此, 主耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我的怒气和忿怒, 必倒在这地方, 也必倒在人口,牲畜,田野的树木和地的出产上; 怒火烧起, 不能熄灭. ”

7:21 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: “你们尽管把燔祭加在平安祭上, 自己吃祭肉吧!

7:22 For I did not speak with your ancestors, nor did I command them in the day of bringing them out from the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offering and sacrifice.
因为我把你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日, 燔祭和平安祭的事, 我并没有向他们提说, 也没有吩咐他们.

7:23 But I only commanded them this word, saying, ‘Obey my voice, and I will be to you God, and you will be to me people, and you must walk in all of the way that I command you, so that it goes well with you.’
我只吩咐他们这一件事, 说: ‘你们要听从我的话, 我就作你们的神, 你们也作我的子民; 你们要遵行我所吩咐的一切道, 好使你们蒙福. ’

7:24 Yet they did not obey, and they did not incline their ear, but they walked in their own plans, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and they became worse instead of better.
他们却没有听从, 也不留心, 反倒按着他们的计谋, 随从自己顽梗的恶心行事, 向后不向前.

7:25 From the day that your ancestors came out from the land of Egypt until this day I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, day after day, sending again and again.
自从你们列祖出埃及地的那日直到今日, 我差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去, 而且是每日不断差遣.

7:26 Yet they have not listened to me and they have not inclined their ear, but they have hardened their neck, they did more evil than their ancestors.
你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)却没有听从, 毫不留心, 反倒硬着颈项行恶, 比你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)的列祖还厉害.

7:27 So you shall speak to them all these words, but they will not listen to you, and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you.
“你要把这一切话告诉他们, 他们却不听从你; 你呼叫他们, 他们也不回应.

7:28 “And you shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God, and they have not accepted discipline. The truth has perished, and it is cut off from their mouths.
然而, 你要对他们说: ‘这就是不听从耶和华他们神的话, 不受管教的国; 诚实丧尽, 并已从他们的口中断绝了.

7:29 Shear your hair and throw it away, and lift up a lament on the barren heights, for Yahweh has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.’
“‘你要剪去头发, 并且把它拋掉, 上到光秃的高冈举哀, 因为耶和华摈斥,弃绝了他所憎恨的世代. ’”

7:30 For the people of Judah have done evil in my eyes,” declares Yahweh, “They have set their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it.
“因为犹大人行了我看为恶的事, 把他们可憎的偶像安放在称为我名下的殿中, 污渎了这殿. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

7:31 And they built the high place of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I have not commanded, and it did not come into my mind.
“他们在欣嫩子谷中, 建造了陀斐特的邱坛, 用火焚烧自己的儿女; 这不是我吩咐的, 我也没有在心里想过.

7:32 Therefore look, days are about to come,” declares Yahweh, “and it will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter, and they will bury in Topheth until there is no more place.
因此, 看哪! 日子快到, 人必不再称这地方为陀斐特或欣嫩子谷, 却要称它为‘杀戮谷’; 人必在陀斐特埋葬尸体, 甚至无处可容. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

7:33 And the dead bodies of this people will be as food for the birds of the heavens, and for the animals of the earth, without anyone to scare them away.
“这人民的尸体, 也必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物, 没有人来驱赶.

7:34 And I will cause to disappear from the towns of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the sound of jubilation, and the sound of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, for the land will become a site of ruins.
那时, 我必在犹大的城市中和耶路撒冷的街道上, 使欢欣和快乐的声音,新郎和新妇的声音止息, 因为这地必要变为荒场. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 8

8:1 “At that time,” declares Yahweh, “they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Judah from their graves.
“到那一天(这是耶和华的宣告), 敌人要把犹大列王,首领,祭司,先知和耶路撒冷居民的骸骨, 都从他们的坟墓里取出来,

8:2 And they shall spread them out before the sun, and before the moon, and before all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and which they have gone after, and which they have inquired about, and to which they have bowed in worship. They shall not be gathered, and they shall not be buried; they will be like dung on the surface of the ground.
拋散在太阳,月亮和天上的万象之下, 就是他们从前所爱慕,服事,跟随,求问,敬拜的. 这些骸骨必不再被收殓埋葬, 必在地面上成为粪肥.

8:3 And death will be preferred to life by all the remaining of this evil clan in all the remaining places where I have driven them away,” declares Yahweh.
这邪恶的家族剩下的余民, 在我驱逐他们到的各地, 宁可选择死, 也不要存活. ”这是万军之耶和华的宣告.

8:4 “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus asks Yahweh: “Do men fall and not stand up? If one turns away does he not return?
“你要对他们说: ‘耶和华这样说: 人跌倒了, 不再起来吗? 人偏离了, 不再回转吗?

Jeremiah - Chapter 11

11:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华有话临到耶利米, 说:

11:2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
“你要告诉犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民: ‘你们要听从这约的话. ’

11:3 and say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “The man is cursed who does not obey the words of this covenant,
你要对他们说: ‘耶和华以色列的神这样说: 不听从这约的话的, 必受咒诅.

11:4 which I commanded your ancestors in the day of my bringing them from the land of Egypt, from the furnace of iron, saying, ‘Listen to my voice and do according to all that I command you, so will you be my people, and I will be your God.’
这约就是我把你们的列祖从埃及地,从铁炉那里领出来的那天所吩咐他们的, 说: 你们要听从我的话, 照着我吩咐你们的一切话去行; 这样, 你们就作我的子民, 我也作你们的神.

11:5 in order to keep the oath that I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.” ’ ” Then I answered and said, “Let it be so, O Yahweh.”
我好履行向你们列祖所起的誓, 就是把流奶与蜜之地赐给他们, 好像今天一样. ’”于是我回答说: “耶和华啊! 阿们. ”

11:6 And Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them,
耶和华又对我说: “你要在犹大各城中和耶路撒冷的街道上, 宣告这一切话, 说: ‘你们要听从,遵行这约的话.

11:7 for I solemnly admonished your ancestors in the day of my leading them out from the land of Egypt and up to this day, admonishing persistently, saying, “Obey my voice.”
因为自从我领你们的列祖出埃及地那一天, 我已郑重警告他们, 直到今日, 我仍不断警告他们, 说: “你们要听从我的话. ”

11:8 But they did not obey and they did not incline their ear. Instead each one walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore, I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them to do, and they did not do it.’ ”
他们却不听从, 毫不留心, 各人随从自己顽梗的恶心行事. 所以, 我使这约中一切咒诅的话临到他们身上. 我曾吩咐他们遵行这约, 他们却不遵行. ’”

11:9 And Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the people of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
耶和华又对我说: “在犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民中间, 有背叛的阴谋.

11:10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their former ancestors, who refused to obey my words, and they have gone after other gods, to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their ancestors.”
他们回到他们祖先所犯的罪孽中. 他们的祖先不肯听从我的话, 却随从事奉别的神. 以色列家和犹大家都违犯了我和他们列祖所立的约. ”

11:11 Therefore thus says Yahweh, “I am about to bring on them disaster from which they will not be able to escape. Though they cry out to me, yet I will not listen to them.
因此耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我必使灾祸临到他们身上, 是他们不能逃脱的; 他们虽然向我哀求, 我必不听他们.

11:12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they are making smoke offerings, but they will certainly not save them in the time of their trouble.
那时, 犹大各城的人和耶路撒冷的居民, 都必去哀求他们烧香供奉的神, 只是在他们遭难的时候, 这些神却完全不能拯救他们.

11:13 For the number of your towns are your gods, O Judah, and the number of the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful things, to make smoke offerings to Baal.
犹大啊! 你的城有多少, 你的神也有多少; 耶路撒冷的街道有多少, 你为那可耻的巴力所设立烧香的祭坛也有多少.

11:14 Therefore you must not pray for this people, and you must not lift up for them a cry of entreaty, or a prayer, for I will not listen in the time of their calling to me, in the time of their trouble.
“至于你, 不要为这人民祈祷, 不要为他们呼求祷告, 因为他们遭难向我呼求的时候, 我必不听他们.

11:15 What rights has my beloved in my house when she has done many wicked things? Can the flesh of holiness pass over you? For you engage in your wickedness, then you exult.
“我所爱的既然行了罪大恶极的事, 还有什么资格在我的殿里呢? 难道祭肉可以消除你的灾祸, 使你得着欢乐吗? ”

11:16 Yahweh called your name, ‘A leafy olive tree, beautiful with fine fruit.’ With the sound of a great storm he will set fire to it, and its branches will be good for nothing.
耶和华曾称你的名字为壮丽,多结美果的青橄榄树; 现在他必借风暴雷轰, 把它燃点起来, 它的枝子也都折断.

11:17 And Yahweh of hosts, the one who planted you, has spoken evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, that they have done to themselves, to provoke me to anger by making smoke offerings to Baal.”
那栽种你的万军之耶和华, 已经宣布降灾攻击你, 是因以色列家和犹大家自己所行的恶; 他们向巴力烧香, 惹我发怒.

11:18 Moreover, Yahweh let it be made known to me, and I knew. Then you showed me their deeds.
耶和华把他们的阴谋指示我, 我就知道了; 那时, 你把他们所行的给我指明.

11:19 And I was like a gentle ram-lamb that is brought to slaughter, and I did not know that they planned plans against me, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
至于我, 我却像一只驯良的羊羔, 被牵到屠宰之地; 我并不知道他们设计谋害我. 他们说: “我们来把这树和果子(“果子”原文作“它的食物”)都毁灭吧, 把它从活人之地剪除, 使它的名不再被人记念. ”

11:20 But O Yahweh of hosts, who judges in righteousness, who tests the inmost being, and the mind, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have revealed my legal case.
但万军之耶和华啊! 你是凭公义审判人, 试验人肺腑和心肠的. 求你让我看见你在他们身上施行的报复, 因为我已经把我的案件向你陈明了.

11:21 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the people of Anathoth who seek your life, saying, “You shall not prophesy in the name of Yahweh or you will die by our hand.”
因此耶和华指责那些亚拿突人, 他们寻索你命, 向你恐吓说: “不要奉耶和华的名说预言, 免得你死在我们手中. ”

11:22 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Look, I am about to punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by the famine.
万军之耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我要惩罚他们; 他们的年轻人必死在刀下, 他们的儿女必因饥荒而死.

11:23 And a remnant will not be left for them, for I will bring disaster to the people of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.”
他们中间必没有余剩的, 因为在惩罚他们的年日, 我必使灾祸临到他们身上. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 12

12:1 You will be in the right, O Yahweh, when I complain to you. Even so, let me speak my claims with you. Why does the way of the wicked succeed? All those who deal treacherously with treachery are at ease.
耶和华啊! 我跟你争辩的时候, 总是你有理; 然而我还要跟你讨论有关公正的问题. 恶人的道路为什么亨通? 所有行诡诈的为什么都得享安逸?

12:2 Not only do you plant them, they take root. They grow, but also they produce fruit. You are near in their mouths, but far from their inmost beings.
你栽种了他们, 他们也扎了根, 并且长大, 结出果实; 他们的口中有你, 心里却没有你(“他们的口中有你, 心里却没有你”原文作“你与他们的口很接近, 却离他们的心很远”).

12:3 But you, O Yahweh, you know me, you see me, and you test that my heart is with you. Tear them apart like sheep for the slaughtering, and set them apart for the day of slaughter.
但耶和华啊! 你认识我, 了解我, 你察验了我对你的心意. 求你把他们拉出来, 好像将宰的羊一般; 求你把他们分别出来, 留待宰杀的日子.

12:4 How long will the land mourn, and the vegetation of every field dry up, because of the wickedness of those who live in it? The animals and the birds are swept away, because they have said, “He does not see our future.”
这地悲哀, 田野的青草都枯干, 要等到几时呢? 由于这地居民的恶行, 走兽和飞鸟都灭绝了; 因为他们说: “神看不见我们的作为(“作为”一词按照《马索拉抄本》应作“结局”; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译). ”

12:5 “If you run with foot soldiers and they have made you weary, then how will you compete with horses? If you have fallen in a peaceful land, then how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
耶和华说: “如果你与徒步的人同跑, 尚且觉得疲倦, 怎能跟马赛跑呢? 你在平安稳妥之地, 尚且跌倒, 在约旦河边的丛林怎么办呢?

12:6 For even your relatives, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you, even they call loudly after you. You must not trust in them, though they speak kindly to you.
因为连你的兄弟,你的父家, 都以诡诈待你, 连他们也在你后面高声喊叫. 虽然他们对你说好话, 你也不可信他们. ”

12:7 I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my inheritance. I have given the beloved one of my heart into the hand of her enemies.
“我撇下了我的家, 丢弃了我的产业; 我把我心爱的交在她仇敌的手中.

12:8 My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest. She has lifted up against me her voice; therefore I hate her.
我的产业对我, 就像树林中的狮子向我咆哮, 因此我恨恶她.

12:9 The lair of the hyena is my inheritance to me, the birds of prey are all around her. Go, gather all of the animals of the field, bring them to come and devour.
我的产业对我, 不就像一只带斑点的鸷鸟, 其他的鸷鸟都四围攻击她? 你们去聚集田野各样的走兽, 带它们来吃吧!

12:10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trampled down my plot of land. They have made my pleasant field like the desert of desolation.
许多牧人毁坏了我的葡萄园, 践踏了我的田地; 他们使我美好的田地变为荒凉的旷野.

12:11 They have made it a desolation. Desolate, it mourns to me. All the land is made desolate, but there is no person taking it to heart.
他们使地荒凉, 在我面前一片荒凉悲哀; 全地荒凉, 却无人关心. ”

12:12 Upon all the barren heights in the desert destroyers have come, for the sword of Yahweh devours, from one end of the land to the other end of the land, there is no peace for all flesh.
在旷野一切光秃的高冈上, 行毁灭的已经来到了; 因为耶和华的刀从地这边直到地那边, 要吞灭一切; 人人都没有平安.

12:13 They have sown wheat and they have reaped thorns. They are exhausted, they do not profit. And they will be ashamed of your produce, because of the burning anger of Yahweh.”
他们种的是小麦, 收的却是荆棘; 虽然筋疲力竭, 却一无所获. 因耶和华的烈怒, 他们必为自己的(“自己的”原文作“你们的”)出产羞愧.

12:14 Thus says Yahweh concerning all of the evil neighbors who touch the inheritance that I gave as an inheritance to my people Israel: “Look, I am about to drive them out from their land, and the house of Judah I will drive out from among them.
耶和华这样说: “至于所有邪恶的邻国, 他们侵犯我赐给我子民以色列的产业; 看哪! 我要把他们从本地拔出来, 也要把犹大家从他们中间拔出来.

12:15 And then after my driving them out, I will once again have compassion on them, and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land.
但我把他们拔出来以后, 我必再怜悯他们, 把他们领回来, 各自归回自己的产业, 自己的故乡.

12:16 And then, if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘as Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will live in the midst of my people.
如果那些邻近的国家真的学习我子民的道路, 指着我的名起誓, 说: ‘我指着永活的耶和华起誓! ’正如他们从前教导我的子民指着巴力起誓一样, 他们就必在我的子民中间被建立起来.

12:17 But if they do not listen, then I will completely uproot and destroy that nation.” declares Yahweh.
他们如果有不听从的, 我就把那国拔出来, 把她拔除消灭. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 13

13:1 Thus Yahweh said to me: “Go and buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and put it on your loins, but you must not place it in water.”
耶和华这样对我说: “你去为自己买一根麻布腰带, 束在腰上, 但不要把它放在水中. ”

13:2 So I bought the loincloth according to the word of Yahweh and I put it on my loins.
我就照着耶和华的话, 买了一根腰带, 束在腰上.

13:3 Now the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
耶和华的话第二次临到我, 说:

13:4 “Take the loincloth that you bought, that is on your loins, and stand up, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in the cleft of the rock.”
“拿你买来束在腰上的腰带, 起来, 往幼发拉底河去, 把腰带藏在那里的岩石缝中. ”

13:5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates just as Yahweh had commanded me.
我就照着耶和华所吩咐我的, 去把腰带藏在幼发拉底河那里.

13:6 And then, after a long time, then Yahweh said to me, “Stand up, go to the Euphrates and take from there the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
过了多日, 耶和华对我说: “起来, 往幼发拉底河去, 把我吩咐你藏在那里的腰带取出来. ”

13:7 Then I went to the Euphrates and I dug, and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it, and look, the loincloth was ruined; it was not good for anything.
于是我往幼发拉底河去, 在那里挖掘, 把腰带从我埋藏的地方取出来; 看哪! 腰带已经腐烂了, 完全没用了.

13:8 And then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
那时, 耶和华的话临到我, 说:

13:9 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘So I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“耶和华这样说: ‘我必照样败坏犹大的尊荣和耶路撒冷极大的尊荣.

13:10 This evil people, who refuse to listen to my words, who go in the stubbornness of their hearts, and have gone after other gods, to serve them, and to bow in worship to them, let them be like this loincloth which is not good for anything.
这邪恶的人民, 不肯听从我的话, 他们随着自己顽梗的心行事, 随从别的神, 事奉敬拜他们; 所以他们必像这根腰带, 毫无用处.

13:11 For as the loincloth clings to the loins of a person, so I caused to cling to me all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to be for me a people, and a name, and a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.’
因为腰带怎样紧贴着人的腰, 我也曾怎样使以色列全家和犹大全家紧贴着我, 好使他们作我的子民, 叫我得名声, 得赞美, 得荣耀; 可是他们却不听从. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

13:12 “Therefore, you shall say to them this word, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Every jar must be filled with wine.” ’ And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every jar should be filled with wine?’
“你要对他们说这话: ‘耶和华以色列的神这样说: 每一个酒瓶都要盛满酒. ’如果他们对你说: ‘难道我们不清楚知道每一个酒瓶都要盛满酒吗? ’

13:13 Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am about to fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings who sit on David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with drunkenness.
你就要对他们说: ‘耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要使这地所有的居民, 就是那些坐大卫王位的君王, 以及祭司,先知和耶路撒冷所有的居民, 都完全醉倒.

13:14 And I will smash them, each one against his brother, and the fathers and the sons together,” declares Yahweh. “I will not have compassion, and I will not take pity, and I will not show compassion from destroying them.” ’ ”
我要使他们彼此碰撞, 连父子也要互相碰撞; 我必不爱惜,不可怜, 也不怜悯他们, 我必把他们灭绝. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

13:15 Listen, and pay attention, you must not be haughty, for Yahweh has spoken.
你们要听, 要留心听, 不要骄傲; 因为是耶和华说的.

13:16 Give glory to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness, and before your feet stumble on the mountains at twilight. And you will hope for light, but he makes it as gloom, he makes it as thick darkness.
耶和华你们的神还没有使黑暗临到以前, 你们的脚还没有在昏暗的山上绊倒之前, 你们要把荣耀归给他. 你们期待光明, 他却把光明变为死荫, 使光明变成黝黑.

13:17 But if you will not listen to it, my inner self will weep in secret places, because of the presence of your pride. And my eyes will weep bitterly, and they will melt in tears, because the flock of Yahweh has been taken captive.
如果你们不听从, 我必因你们的骄傲暗暗哭泣; 我的眼必痛哭流泪, 因为耶和华的羊群被掳去了.

13:18 “Say to the king and to the queen mother, ‘Take a lower seat, for your beautiful crown has come down from your head.’
你要对君王和太后说: “你们应从宝座下来, 因为华丽的冠冕已经从你们的头上脱下来了. ”

13:20 Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your magnificent flock?
耶路撒冷啊! 你要举目观看那些从北方来的人. 从前交给你的羊群, 就是你引以为荣的群羊, 现今在哪里呢?

13:21 What will you say when he sets over you— and you have taught them—allies as head over you? Will not labor pains take hold of you, like a woman giving birth?
耶和华立你自己结交(“结交”原文作“教导”)的盟友为首领管辖你, 那时, 你还有什么话说呢? 痛苦岂不把你抓住, 好像妇女生产时的痛苦一样吗?

13:22 And if you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things happened to me?’ Because of the greatness of your iniquity your skirts are uncovered; your heels have endured violence.
如果你心里问: “这些事为什么发生在我身上呢? ”这是由于你极大的罪孽; 你的袍子被掀起, 你的下体(“下体”原文作“脚跟”)暴露出来.

13:23 Can a Cushite change his skin, or a leopard his spots? Then you also will be able to do good, who are accustomed to doing evil.
古实人怎能改变他的肤色? 花豹怎能改变它的斑点? 你们这些惯作坏事的人, 又怎能行善呢?

13:24 And I will scatter them like stubble scattered by the wind of the desert.
“因此, 我要使你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)四散, 像被旷野的风吹走的碎秸一样.

13:25 This is your lot, the portion of your measure from me,” declares Yahweh, “because you have forgotten me, and you have trusted in the lie.
这是你应得的, 是我量给你的分. ”这是耶和华的宣告. ”因为你忘记了我, 去倚靠虚假的偶像;

13:26 So in turn I will bare your skirts over your face, and your shame will become visible.
所以, 我必把你的袍子掀到你的脸上, 使人看见你的丑态.

13:27 Your adulteries, and your neighings, the shameful behavior of your fornications on the hills in the countryside, I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you continue to be unclean?”
你的奸淫, 你淫荡的叫声, 你邪淫的恶行, 在山上, 在田野间, 你那些可憎的事我都看见了. 耶路撒冷啊, 你有祸了! 你这样不洁净要到几时呢? ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 14

14:1 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah concerning the matter of the severe drought.
耶和华的话临到耶利米, 是关于旱灾的事:

14:2 “Judah mourns, and her gates languish, they are in mourning on the ground, and the cry of lament of Jerusalem goes up.
“犹大悲哀, 她的城镇(“城镇”原文作“城门”)衰落, 人人都坐在地上悲伤痛哭; 耶路撒冷的哀声上达于天.

14:3 And their nobles send their servants for water. They come to the pits, they find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are ashamed, and they are confounded, and they cover their heads.
他们的显贵差派童仆去打水; 童仆来到池边, 却找不到水, 就拿着空的器皿回来; 他们失望难过, 蒙着自己的头.

14:4 Because of the ground, which is cracked because there was no rain on the ground. The farmers are ashamed, they cover their heads.
土地干裂, 因为地上没有雨水; 农夫失望, 都蒙着自己的头.

14:5 For even the doe in the field gives birth and forsakes her young, because there is no green growth.
甚至母鹿在田野生产了小鹿, 也得把它丢弃, 因为没有青草.

14:6 And wild asses stand on the barren heights, they gasp for breath like the jackals. Their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.”
野驴站在光秃的高冈上, 像野狗喘着气; 它们双目发呆, 因为没有青草. ”

14:7 Although our iniquities testify against us, O Yahweh, act for the sake of your name. Yes, our apostasies are many; we have sinned against you.
“耶和华啊! 即使我们的罪孽指证我们, 还求你因你名的缘故施行拯救. 我们实在多次背道, 得罪了你.

14:8 You are the hope of Israel, its savior in time of distress. Why should you be like an alien in the land, or like a traveler who spreads out his tent to spend the night?
以色列的盼望啊! 以色列遭难时的拯救者啊! 你为什么在本地像一个寄居的人, 又像个只住宿一夜的旅客呢?

14:9 Why should you be like a confused man, like a warrior who is not able to help? Yet you are in our midst, O Yahweh, and your name is called upon us. You must not leave us!
你为什么像个受惊的人, 又像个不能拯救人的勇士呢? 耶和华啊! 你是在我们中间, 我们是称为你名下的人, 求你不要离弃我们. ”

14:10 Thus says Yahweh concerning this people: “They have loved so much to wander, they have not spared their feet. Therefore Yahweh is not favorable to them, now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.”
耶和华论到这人民这样说: “他们喜爱这样流荡, 不约束自己的脚; 因此耶和华不悦纳他们, 现在就要记念他们的罪孽, 并要惩罚他们的罪恶. ”

14:11 So Yahweh said to me, “You must not pray for this people, for their happiness.
耶和华对我说: “不要为这人民祈求好处;

14:12 Although they fast, I am not listening to their cry of entreaty. And although they present burnt offering and grain offering, I am not favorable to them. But by the sword, and by the famine, and by the plague, I am about to destroy them.”
即使他们禁食, 我也不会听他们的呼求; 即使他们献上燔祭和素祭, 我也不会悦纳; 我却要用刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫去灭尽他们. ”

14:13 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, look, the prophets are saying to them, ‘You will not see the sword, and famine will not be yours, but reliable peace I will give to you in this place.’ ”
我就说: “唉, 主耶和华啊! 你看, 那些先知常对他们说: ‘你们必不会看见刀剑, 也必不会有饥荒; 因为我耶和华要在这地方赐给你们恒久的平安. ’”

14:14 And Yahweh said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them, and I have not commanded them, and I have not spoken to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, and a divination, worthless, and the deceitfulness of their minds.”
耶和华对我说: “那些先知借我的名说假预言; 我并没有差遣他们, 没有吩咐他们, 也没有向他们说话. 他们对你们所预言的, 是虚假的异象,占卜的预兆,虚无的事, 和他们自己心里的诡诈. ”

14:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who prophecy in my name though I have not sent them, yet they are saying, “Sword and famine will not be in this land.” “By the sword and by the famine those prophets will perish.
因此, 耶和华这样说: “关于那些借我名说预言的先知, 我并没有差遣他们, 他们竟说: ‘这地必不会有刀剑和饥荒. ’那些先知必被刀剑和饥荒灭绝.

14:16 And the people to whom they are prophesying will be cast out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. And there will be no one who buries them, their wives, or their sons, or their daughters. And I will pour out on them their wickedness.
至于那些听他们说预言的人民, 必因刀剑和饥荒被拋弃在耶路撒冷的街上, 没有人埋葬他们, 也没有人埋葬他们的妻子和儿女. 我必要把他们作恶应得的报应倒在他们身上.

14:17 “And you shall say to them this word, ‘Let my eyes melt with tears night and day, and let them not cease, for with a great wound the virgin daughter of my people is broken, with a very incurable wound.
“你要对他们说这话: ‘愿我的眼泪直流, 日夜不停; 因为我的同胞(“同胞”原文作“人民的处女”)遭受极大的毁灭, 受到很严重的打击.

14:18 If I go out into the field, then look, those slain by the sword. And if I enter the city, then look, the sickness of the famine. For both prophet and priest wander around through the land, they do not know what is going on.’ ”
如果我出到田间, 就看见那些被刀剑所杀的人; 如果我走进城里, 就看见因饥荒而来的各种疾病. 连先知和祭司也流亡到他们素不认识的地方. ’”

14:19 Have you completely rejected Judah? Or has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us so that there is no healing for us? We hope for peace, but there is no good, and for a time of healing, but look, there is terror.
你真的弃绝犹大吗? 你真的讨厌锡安吗? 你为什么击打我们, 使我们无法医治呢? 我们期待平安, 却得不到好处; 期待得医治的时候, 不料, 只有惊慌.

14:20 We know, O Yahweh, our wickedness, the iniquity of our ancestors, for we have sinned against you.
耶和华啊! 我们承认我们的罪恶, 和我们列祖的罪孽; 我们实在得罪了你.

14:21 You must not spurn us for the sake of your name, you must not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember us! You must not break your covenant with us.
求你为你名的缘故, 不要厌弃我们! 不要叫你荣耀的宝座蒙羞! 求你记念你和我们所立的约, 不要废除!

14:22 Are there any among the idols of the nation who cause rain to pour? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not you, O Yahweh our God? Therefore, we hope in you, for you do all these things.
列国虚无的偶像中, 有可以降雨的吗? 天能自降甘霖吗? 耶和华我们的神啊! 能够这样作的, 不是只有你吗? 所以我们仰望你, 因为这一切都是你所作的.

Jeremiah - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me, my heart would not be to this people. Send them away from my sight, and let them go out.
耶和华对我说: “即使摩西和撒母耳站在我面前代求, 我的心也不会转向这人民. 你把他们从我面前赶走, 叫他们出去!

15:2 And then if they say to you, ‘Where shall we go?’ Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Those who are destined for the plague, to the plague, and those who are destined for the sword, to the sword, and those who are destined for the famine, to the famine, and those who are destined for the captivity, to the captivity.” ’
如果他们问你: ‘我们要去哪里? ’你就告诉他们: ‘耶和华这样说: 该死亡的, 就死亡; 该被刀剑所杀的, 就被刀剑所杀; 该遭遇饥荒的, 就遭遇饥荒; 该被掳的, 就被掳去! ’

15:6 You have forsaken me,” declares Yahweh. “You go backward, so I have stretched my hand against you, and I have destroyed you. I am tired of becoming remorseful.
你离弃了我, 你转身背着我; 因此我要伸手攻击你, 毁灭你, 我不会再回心转意. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

15:9 She who gave birth to seven has withered away. She gasps her breath. Her sun set while still day. She has been put to shame and disgraced. And the remainder of them I will give to the sword before their enemies,” declares Yahweh.
那生过七个子女的母亲衰竭疲弱, 几乎气绝; 还在白昼, 她的太阳已经西落, 她必惭愧蒙羞. 我必使他们余剩的人在敌人面前死于刀下. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

15:10 Woe to me, O my mother, that you gave birth to me, a man of contention and quarreling to the whole land. I have not lent out and I have not borrowed. All of them are cursing me.
我母亲哪! 我有祸了, 因为你生了我, 这个跟全地相争相斗的人. 我从没有借钱给人, 也没有向人借钱, 可是人人都咒骂我.

Jeremiah - Chapter 16

16:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我, 说:

16:2 “You shall not take for yourself a wife, there shall not be for you sons and daughters in this place.”
“在这地方你不可娶妻, 不可生儿育女. ”

16:3 For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters born in this place, and concerning their mothers who gave birth to them, and concerning their fathers who fathered them in this land:
因为论到这地方出生的儿女, 和在这地生养他们的父母, 耶和华这样说:

16:4 “They will die by diseases, they will not be mourned, and they will not be buried. They will be as dung on the face of the earth. And they will perish by the sword and they will perish by the famine. And their dead bodies will become food for the birds of the air, and for the wild animals of the earth.”
“他们都必死于致命的疫症, 没有人为他们哀哭, 他们的尸体也没有人埋葬, 必在地面上成为粪肥. 他们必被刀剑和饥荒所灭, 他们的尸体成了空中飞鸟和地上走兽的食物. ”

16:8 And you shall not enter the house of the banquet, to sit with them, to eat and drink.”
你也不可进入欢宴之家, 跟他们同坐, 一起吃喝.

16:9 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Look, I am about to cause to disappear from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of jubilation, and the voice of joy, and the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
因为万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘看哪! 我必在你们眼前, 在你们还活着的日子, 使欢笑和快乐的声音, 新郎和新娘的声音, 都从这地方止息了. ’”

16:10 And then when you tell this people all these words and they ask you, ‘Why has Yahweh pronounced against us all this great evil, and what is our iniquity, and what is our sin that we have sinned against Yahweh our God?’
“你向这人民传讲这一切时, 如果他们问你: ‘耶和华为什么宣告这一切严重的灾祸对付我们呢? 我们有什么罪孽? 我们犯了什么罪, 得罪了耶和华我们的神呢? ’

16:11 Then you shall say to them, ‘Because your ancestors have forsaken me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and they have gone after other gods, and they have served them, and they have bowed down in worship to them, and they have forsaken me, and they have not kept my laws.
你就要回答他们: ‘因为你们的列祖离弃了我(这是耶和华的宣告), 他们随从别的神, 事奉敬拜他们; 他们离弃了我, 不遵守我的律法.

16:12 And you have behaved badly more than your ancestors, and look, you are going each one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, without listening to me.
至于你们, 你们作坏事比你们的列祖更厉害; 看哪! 你们各人都随从自己顽梗的恶心行事, 不听从我.

16:13 So I will throw you from this land to the land that you have not known, you or your ancestors, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will not show you favor.
因此, 我要把你们从这地赶出去, 去到你们和你们列祖所不认识的地; 你们在那里必昼夜事奉别的神, 因为我不再向你们施恩. ’

16:14 Therefore look, days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and it will no longer be said, “As Yahweh lives, who led up the Israelites from the land of Egypt,”
“看哪! 日子快到, 人必不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来的永活的耶和华起誓. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

16:15 but only “As Yahweh lives, who led up the Israelites from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them,” for I will bring them back to their ground that I gave to their ancestors.
“他们却要指着那领以色列人从北方之地, 从他们被赶逐到的各国上来的永活的耶和华起誓. 因我要领他们回到自己的土地, 就是我从前赐给他们列祖的.

16:16 Look, I am sending for many fishermen,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and they will fish them out, and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and from the clefts of the cliffs.
“看哪! 我要差人去叫许多渔夫来, 捕捉以色列人; 然后我要差人去叫许多猎人来, 从各大山,小山和岩石的裂缝里, 猎取他们. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

16:17 For my eyes are on all their ways, they are not hidden from before me, and their iniquity is not concealed from before my eyes.
“因为我的眼察看他们所行的一切; 在我面前这一切都无法隐藏, 他们的罪孽不能从我眼前遮掩起来.

16:18 And I will first doubly repay their iniquity and their sin because of their profaning my land with the dead bodies of their abhorrences, and with their abominations they have filled up my inheritance.’ ”
首先我要加倍报应他们的罪孽和罪恶, 因为他们用自己那些毫无生气,可憎的偶像(“毫无生气,可憎的偶像”原文作“可憎的偶像的尸体”)玷污了我的土地, 他们那些可厌之物充满了我的产业. ”

16:19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our ancestors have inherited only lies, vanity, and there is no profit in them.
耶和华, 我的力量,我的堡垒,我遭难时的避难所啊! 万国要从地极前来朝见你, 说: “我们列祖所承受的只是虚假的偶像, 是虚空,一无用处的.

16:20 Can a human make for himself gods? Yet they are not gods!”
人岂能为自己制造神呢? 其实这些偶像并不是神. ”

16:21 “Therefore look, I am about to let them know, this time I am going to let them know my power and my might, and they will know that my name is Yahweh.”
“因此, 看哪! 我要使他们知道, 这一次我必叫他们认识我的手和我的能力, 他们就知道我的名是耶和华. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 17

17:1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus, with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars.
“犹大的罪是用铁笔铭记的, 是用金钢钻刻在他们的心版上, 和他们(“他们”有古抄本作“你们”)祭坛的角上.

17:2 As the remembering of their children, so is the remembering of their altars and their poles of Asherah worship beside the leafy trees on the high hills.
他们的儿女也怀念着那些在各高冈上,在繁茂树旁的祭坛和亚舍拉.

17:3 O my mountain in the open country, I will give your wealth, all your treasures, for spoil, your high places, because of your sin, throughout all your territories.
我在田野的山哪! 因你在四境之内所犯的罪, 我必把你的财产,一切宝物和你的邱坛, 给敌人作掠物.

17:4 And you will let go your hand from your inheritance that I gave to you, and I will make you serve your enemies in the land that you do not know, for you kindled a fire in my anger, until eternity it will be kindled.”
因你自己的缘故, 我赐给你的产业, 你必失掉; 我必使你在你不认识的地方, 服事你的仇敌; 因为你们惹起我的怒火, 我的怒火必燃烧到永远. ”

17:5 Thus says Yahweh, “Cursed is the person who trusts in humankind and makes flesh his strength, and turns aside his heart from Yahweh.
耶和华这样说: “倚靠世人, 恃凭肉体为自己的力量, 心里偏离耶和华的, 这人该受咒诅.

17:6 And he will be like a juniper in the wilderness, and he will not see when good comes, and he will dwell in the parched places in the desert, in a land of salt flats, where no one lives.
他必像沙漠中的灌木, 福乐来到, 他也必看不见, 却要住在旷野干旱之地,无人居住的咸地.

17:7 Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh, and Yahweh is his trust.
但倚靠耶和华, 以耶和华为他所信赖的, 这人是有福的.

17:8 For he will be like a tree planted by water, and to the stream it sends its roots, and it will not fear when heat comes, and its leaves will be luxuriant, and in the year of drought it will not be anxious, and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.
他必像一棵树, 栽种在水边, 树根伸进河里; 炎热来到, 并不害怕, 树叶仍然繁茂; 在荒旱之年, 它不挂虑, 并且不断结果子. ”

17:9 The heart is deceitful more than anything else, and it is disastrous. Who can understand it?
人心比万物都诡诈, 无法医治; 谁能识透呢?

17:10 I, Yahweh, examine the mind, I test the heart, and give to each one according to his way, according to the fruit of his deeds.
“我耶和华是察透人心, 试验人肺腑的, 要照着各人的行为, 和各人所作的事应得的结果报应各人. ”

17:11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay is one who amasses wealth without justice. In the middle of his days it will leave him, and at his end he will prove to be a fool.”
使用不公正的方法发财的, 就像一只鹧鸪孵了不是自己所生的蛋; 到了中年, 那财富必离开他, 最后他必成为一个愚昧人.

17:12 A lofty throne of glory from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座, 从起初就矗立在高处.

17:13 O Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all those who forsake you will be put to shame, and those who turn aside from you in the earth will be recorded, for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, Yahweh.
耶和华以色列的盼望啊! 离弃你的, 都必蒙羞; 偏离你(“你”原文作“我”)的, 他们的名字必写在沙土上, 因为他们离弃了耶和华这活水的源头.

17:14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed, save me, and I will be saved, for you are my praise.
耶和华啊! 求你医治我, 我就得医治; 求你拯救我, 我就得拯救; 因为你是我所赞美的.

17:15 Look, they are saying to me, “Where is the word of Yahweh? Please let it come.”
看哪! 他们常常对我说: “耶和华的话在哪里? 使它应验(“应验”原文作“来”)吧! ”

17:16 But I, I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows you, and I have not desired the disastrous day. You, you know the pronouncement of my lips, it was before your face.
至于我, 我没有急忙离弃那跟从你作牧人的职分(“我没有急忙离弃那跟从你作牧人的职分”有古译本作“我没有催逼你降灾祸”), 也没有想望灾难的日子, 这是你知道的; 我嘴里所出的话都在你面前.

17:17 You must not become to me a terror, you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
求你不要使我因你惊恐, 在灾祸的日子, 你是我的避难所.

17:18 Let my persecutors be put to shame, but as for me, do not let me be put to shame. Let them be dismayed, but as for me, do not let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of disaster, and with double destruction, destroy them.
愿那些迫害我的蒙羞, 却不要叫我蒙羞; 愿他们惊恐, 却不要使我惊恐; 求你使灾祸的日子临到他们, 加倍毁灭他们.

17:19 Thus said Yahweh to me, “Go, and you must stand in the People’s Gate through which the kings of Judah enter, and through which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
耶和华对我这样说: “你去站在犹大列王出入的城门(“城门”原文作“人民城门”), 又站在耶路撒冷的各城门口,

17:20 And you must say to them, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem who enter through these gates.
对他们说: ‘耶路撒冷诸王,犹大众民和所有进入这些城门的犹大居民哪! 你们要听他耶和华的话.

17:21 Thus says Yahweh, “Be on your guard for the sake of yourselves, that you must not carry a burden on the day of the Sabbath, and you must not bring it through the gates of Jerusalem.
耶和华这样说: 为了自己的性命, 你们要谨慎, 不可在安息日挑担子, 不可挑进耶路撒冷的城门.

17:22 And you must not carry a burden from your houses on the day of the Sabbath, and you must not do any work. But you must declare holy the day of Sabbath, just as I commanded your ancestors.
也不可在安息日从你们家里挑担子出来; 什么工都不可作, 却要守安息日为圣日, 正如我吩咐你们列祖的.

17:23 Yet they did not listen, and they did not incline their ear, and they hardened their neck so as to not hear, nor to receive discipline.
你们的列祖却没有听从, 毫不在意, 反而硬着颈项不肯听, 不受管教. ’”

17:24 “And it will happen, if you carefully listen to me,” declares Yahweh, “to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, but to declare holy the day of Sabbath, not to do on it any work,
耶和华宣告说: “但如果你们真心听从我, 不在安息日挑担子进入这城的城门, 并且守安息日为圣日, 在那日不作任何工作;

17:25 then kings and officials who sit on the throne of David will enter through the gates of this city riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their officials, the people of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
这样, 就必有坐大卫王位的列王, 并有众领袖随着, 进入这城的城门; 列王和众领袖乘着车, 骑着马, 跟犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民一同进入这城. 这城必永远有人居住.

17:26 And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the Shephelah, and from the hill country, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and grain offerings, and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.
必有人从犹大的各城和耶路撒冷周围的各处, 从便雅悯地,低地,山地和南地而来; 他们带着燔祭,平安祭,素祭,乳香和感恩祭到耶和华的殿里去.

17:27 But if you do not listen to me, to declare holy the day of the Sabbath, and to not carry a burden and enter through the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched.” ’ ”
但如果你们不听从我, 不守安息日为圣日, 仍在安息日挑担子, 进入耶路撒冷的城门; 这样, 我就必在耶路撒冷的各城门点起火来, 烧毁耶路撒冷的堡垒, 没有人能够扑灭. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 18

18:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华有话临到耶利米, 说:

18:2 “Stand up and go down to the house of the potter, and there I will let you hear my words.”
“起来, 下到陶匠的家里去, 在那里我要使你听到我的话. ”

18:3 So I went down to the house of the potter and look, there he was doing work at the potter’s wheels.
我就下到陶匠的家里去, 见他正在转盘旁工作.

18:4 And the vessel that he was making with the clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter, so he made again another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
陶匠用他手中的泥所做的器皿坏了, 他就用这泥再做别的器皿, 照着自己的意思去作.

18:5 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
于是耶和华的话临到我, 说:

18:6 “Like this potter, am I not able to do to you, O house of Israel?” declares Yahweh. “Look, like the clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
“以色列家啊! 难道我不能待你们像这陶匠所作的一样吗? ”这是耶和华的宣告. ”看哪! 泥在陶匠的手中怎样, 以色列家啊! 你们在我的手中也必怎样.

18:7 One moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to uproot, and to tear down, and to destroy it.
我什么时候宣布要拔出,拆毁,毁灭一邦或一国,

18:8 But if that nation turns back from its evil that I have threatened against it, then I will relent concerning the disaster that I planned to do to it.
如果我论到的那一邦转离他们的恶行, 我就必回心转意, 不把我原定的灾祸降给他们.

18:9 And the next moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant it.
同样, 我什么时候宣布要建立,栽植一邦或一国,

18:10 But if it does evil in my sight, to not listen to my voice, then I will relent concerning the good that I said I would do to it.
如果他们行我眼中看为恶的事, 不听从我的话, 我就必回心转意, 不把我应许的好处赐给他们.

18:11 “So now then, say, please, to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am preparing evil against you, and I am planning a plan against you. Please turn back, each one from his evil way, and walk rightly in your ways and your deeds.” ’
“现在你要对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说: ‘耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我正在制造灾祸对付你们, 拟定计划惩罚你们. 你们各人要回转, 离开自己的恶道, 改正你们的行径和作为. ’

18:12 But they will say, ‘It is hopeless, for we will go after our own plans, and each one of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’
他们却说: ‘没用的! 我们要随着自己的计划而行, 各人要按着自己顽梗的恶心行事. ’”

18:13 “Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘Please ask among the nations, “Who has heard the like of this?” The virgin of Israel has done something very horrible.
因此耶和华这样说: “你们问一问列国, 有谁听见过像这样的事呢? 童女以色列竟行了一件非常骇人的事.

18:14 Does the snow of Lebanon leave from the crags of Sirion? Or are the cold waters flowing from distant mountains dried up?
黎巴嫩山上岩石的积雪融化过吗? 从远处流下清凉的溪水干涸过吗?

18:15 But my people have forgotten me. They make smoke offerings to the idols, and they caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient ways, to go into bypaths, not one that is built up.
但我的子民竟忘记我, 向虚无的偶像烧香, 以致他们在自己的路上,在古道上绊倒, 行走小路, 不是修建过的大道.

18:16 To make their land a horror, an object of whistling for eternity. All who pass by it will be appalled, and he will shake his head.
他们的土地变为荒凉, 成为永远被人嗤笑的对象; 经过这地的, 都必惊骇摇头.

18:17 Like the wind from the east I will scatter them before the enemy. I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster.’ ”
在他们的敌人面前, 我要像东风吹散他们; 在他们遭难的日子, 我必使他们只见我的背, 不见我的面. ”

18:18 Then they said, “Come and let us plan plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will not be lost from the priest, nor advice from the wise man, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us bring charges against him, and let us not listen attentively to any of his words.”
他们说: “来吧! 我们来设计对付耶利米; 因为祭司的律法,智慧人的谋略,先知的话都不会断绝. 来吧! 我们用舌头攻击他, 不理会他的一切话. ”

18:19 Listen attentively to me, O Yahweh, and listen to the voice of my opponents.
耶和华啊! 求你倾听我的申诉, 听那些指控我的人的声音.

18:20 Should good be repaid in place of evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember my standing before you to speak good for them, to avert your wrath from them.
良善的应得恶报吗? 他们竟然挖陷坑害我. 求你记念我怎样站在你面前, 为他们说好话, 使你的烈怒离开他们.

18:21 Therefore give their children to the famine, and hand them over to the power of the sword, and let their wives be bereaved and widows, and let their men be killed by death, their young men struck dead by the sword in the battle.
因此, 愿你使他们的儿女遭受饥荒, 把他们交给刀剑(“刀剑”原文作“刀剑的手”); 愿他们的妻子丧夫失子; 愿他们的男人被杀死, 他们的壮丁在战场上被刀剑击杀.

18:22 Let a cry for help be heard from their houses when you suddenly bring upon them the raiding band, for they have dug a pit to catch me, and they have fixed secretly a trap for my feet.
你使侵略者忽然临到他们的时候, 愿人从他们的屋里听见呼救声; 因为他们挖陷坑要捉拿我, 埋藏网罗要绊我的脚.

18:23 But you, O Yahweh, you know all their plans of assassination against me. You must not make atonement for their iniquity, and you must not cause their sin to be blotted out from before you. But let them be overthrown before you. Deal with them in the time of your anger.
耶和华啊! 至于你, 你知道他们要杀我的一切计谋. 求你不要赦免他们的罪孽, 不要从你面前涂抹他们的罪! 使他们在你面前绊倒; 求你在发怒的时候, 对付他们.

Jeremiah - Chapter 19

19:1 Thus said Yahweh, “Go and buy a potter’s earthenware jar, and take some of the elders of the people, and some of the leaders of the priests,
耶和华这样说: “你去跟陶匠买一个瓦瓶, 要带着几位人民的长老和年长的祭司,

19:2 and go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is at the entrance of the Gate of the Potsherd, and proclaim there the words that I speak to you.
出到欣嫩子谷, 哈珥西(“哈珥西”意即“瓦片”)门的入口, 在那里你要宣告我将对你说的话.

19:3 And you shall say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Look, I am about to bring disaster upon this place so that everyone who hears it, his ears will ring.
你要说: ‘犹大列王和耶路撒冷的居民哪! 你们要听耶和华的话. 万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 看哪! 我必使灾祸临到这地方; 凡听见的, 都必耳鸣.

19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and they have defaced this place, and they have made smoke offerings in it to other gods whom they have not known, they, nor their ancestors, nor the kings of Judah, and they have filled up this place with the blood of the innocent,
因为他们离弃了我, 把这地方玷污了, 在这地方向列神烧香. 这些神是他们和他们的列祖, 以及犹大列王所不认识的; 他们又使这地方洒满无辜人的血.

19:5 and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their children in the fire, burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, and I ordered not, and it did not come to my mind.
他们筑了巴力的邱坛, 好用火焚烧自己的儿女, 作燔祭献给巴力. 这不是我吩咐的, 我没有提说过, 也没有在我心里想过.

19:6 “Therefore look, days are about to come,” declares Yahweh, “when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter.
因此, 看哪! 日子快到, 这地方必不再称为陀斐特或欣嫩子谷, 而要称为杀戮谷. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

19:7 And I will lay waste the plans of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will bring them to ruin by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life, and I will give their dead bodies as food to the birds of heaven and to the animals of the earth.
‘我要在这地方使犹大和耶路撒冷的计谋失败, 也必使他们在仇敌面前倒毙于刀下, 死在寻索他们性命的人手中. 我要把他们的尸体给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物.

19:8 And I will make this city a horror, and an object of hissing, everyone who passes by it will be appalled, and will hiss because of all its wounds.
我要使这城变为荒凉, 成为被人嗤笑的对象; 每一个经过这里的, 都必因这城所遭受的一切创伤而惊骇, 并且嗤笑她.

19:9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each one will eat the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the distress which their enemies and those who seek their life inflict on them.” ’
在他们被围困和受压迫之中, 就是在仇敌和寻索他们性命的人压迫他们的时候, 我必使他们吞吃自己的儿女的肉, 各人也彼此吃对方的肉. ’

19:10 “Then you shall break the jar before the eyes of the men who go with you.
“然后你要在跟你同去的人眼前, 把那瓶子打碎,

19:11 And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “So I will break this people and this city as one breaks the vessel of the potter, so that it is not able to be repaired again. And in Topheth they will bury until there is no room to bury.
并对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 我必照样打碎这人民和这城, 好像人打碎陶匠的瓦器一样, 不能再修补. 人必在陀斐特埋葬尸体, 甚至无处可埋葬.

19:12 Thus will I do to this place,” declares Yahweh, “and to its inhabitants, to make this city like Topheth.
我必照样对待这地方和这地方的居民, 使这城像陀斐特一样. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

19:13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be unclean like the place of Topheth, all the houses where they made smoke offerings upon their roofs to all the host of heaven, and where they poured out libations to other gods.” ’ ”
‘耶路撒冷的房屋和犹大列王的宫殿, 都要像陀斐特一样成为不洁; 人曾在这一切房屋宫殿的屋顶上, 向天上的万象烧香, 向别神浇奠祭. ’”

19:14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh and said to all the people,
耶利米从陀斐特, 就是从耶和华差遣他去说预言的地方回来, 他站在耶和华殿的院中, 对众民说:

19:15 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Look, I am about to bring to this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their neck to not hear my words.’ ”
“万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘看哪! 我必使我宣告攻击这城的一切灾祸, 临到这城和她附近的一切城镇, 因为他们硬着颈项, 不听从我的话. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 20

20:1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who was officer in charge in the temple of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
音麦的儿子巴施户珥祭司, 就是耶和华殿的总管, 他听见了耶利米预言这些事,

20:2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the temple of Yahweh.
就殴打耶利米先知, 把他枷锁在耶和华殿里, 朝向便雅悯的上门内.

20:3 And then on the next day, when Pashhur brought Jeremiah out from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh will not call your name Pashhur, but Terror From All Around.
次日, 巴施户珥把耶利米从枷锁上解下来, 耶利米就对他说: “耶和华不再称你的名为巴施户珥, 却要称你为玛歌珥．米撒毕(“玛歌珥．米撒毕”意即“四围惊慌”).

20:4 For thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am making you a terror to yourself and to all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will be seeing it. And all Judah I will give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will deport them to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
因为耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我要使你自己和你所有的朋友都惊惶失措; 他们必倒在他们仇敌的刀下, 你也必亲眼看见. 我要把全犹大交在巴比伦王手中; 他要把他们掳到巴比伦去, 或用刀击杀他们.

20:5 And I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its acquisitions, and all its precious items, and all of the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them, and they will seize them, and they will bring them to Babylon.
我要把这城的一切财物,一切劳碌得来的,一切珍宝和犹大列王的一切宝物, 都交在他们仇敌的手中; 仇敌要把这一切抢劫掠夺, 带回巴比伦去.

20:6 And you, Pashhur, and all those who live in your house will go into captivity, and you will go to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends to whom you have prophesied falsely.’ ”
巴施户珥啊! 你和所有住在你家里的人, 都要被掳去; 你和你所有的朋友, 就是你向他们说假预言的, 都要到巴比伦去, 死在那里, 也葬在那里. ’”

20:7 You have persuaded me, O Yahweh, and I was persuaded. You have overpowered me, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long. Everyone is mocking me.
耶和华啊! 你愚弄了我, 我受了愚弄; 你比我强大, 你胜了我. 我整天成了别人讥笑的对象, 人人都嘲弄我.

20:8 For as often as I speak, I must cry out violence and destruction. I must shout, for the word of Yahweh has become for me a disgrace and derision all day long.
因为我每次发言, 都大声呼叫; 我呼喊, 说: “有强暴和毁灭! ”耶和华的话使我整天受人辱骂和讥讽.

20:9 But if I say, “I will not mention him and I will no longer speak in his name,” then it becomes in my heart like a fire burning, locked up in my bones, and I struggle to contain it, and I am not able.
如果我说: “我不再提起他, 也不再奉他的名说话”, 他的话就像火在我心中焚烧, 被困在我的骨里; 我不能再抑制, 实在不能了.

20:10 For I hear the rumor of many, “Terror is from all around, denounce him, yes, let us denounce him!” All my close friends are watchers of my stumbling, saying, “perhaps he can be persuaded, and we can prevail over him, and we can take our revenge on him.”
我听见许多人耳语: “玛歌珥．米撒毕! 告发他, 我们要告发他! ”我所有的知己朋友都等着看我行差踏错, 他们说: “希望他会上当, 我们就可以胜过他, 向他报复. ”

20:11 But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior. Therefore my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. They will be very ashamed, for they will not achieve success. Their everlasting insult will not be forgotten.
但耶和华与我同在, 像一个威武可畏的勇士, 因此, 逼迫我的都必跌倒, 不能得胜. 他们必大大蒙羞, 因为他们失败了; 这永远的耻辱是人不能忘记的.

20:12 Yet, O Yahweh of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have revealed my legal case.
万军之耶和华啊! 你试验义人, 察看人的心肠肺腑; 求你让我看见你在他们身上施行的报复, 因为我已经把我的案件向你陈明了.

20:13 Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
你们要歌颂耶和华, 赞美耶和华; 因为他救了穷乏人的性命, 脱离恶人的手.

20:14 Cursed be the day on which I was born, let not the day on which my mother gave birth to me be blessed.
愿我生的那一天受咒诅! 愿我母亲生我的那一天不蒙祝福!

20:15 Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, saying, “A child is born to you, a son!” and he made him very glad.
那向我父亲报喜信: “你得了一个男孩”, 叫我父亲十分高兴的, 愿那人受咒诅!

20:16 And let that man be like the cities that Yahweh demolished without regret, and let him hear a cry for help in the morning, and an alarm at the time of noon.
愿那人像耶和华所倾覆而不顾惜的城市, 愿他早晨听见哀号, 午间听见战争的吶喊.

20:17 Because he did not kill me in the womb, so that my mother would have been for me my grave, and her womb would be pregnant forever.
因为他没有使我死于母腹, 好使我的母亲成了我的坟墓, 我永远留在母腹中.

20:18 Why did I come out from the womb, to see toil, and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
我为什么要出母胎, 经历劳苦和忧伤, 并且我的年日都消逝在羞辱之中呢?

Jeremiah - Chapter 21

21:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
耶和华有话临到耶利米. 那时, 西底家王差遣玛基雅的儿子巴施户珥, 和玛西雅的儿子西番雅祭司去见耶利米, 说:

21:2 “Please inquire of Yahweh on behalf of us, for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon is fighting against us. Perhaps Yahweh will do with us according to all his miraculous acts, so that he may go up from against us.”
“请你替我们求问耶和华, 因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来攻击我们; 也许耶和华会为我们行奇事, 使尼布甲尼撒离开我们回去. ”

21:3 Then Jeremiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to Zedekiah:
耶利米就对他们说: “你们要对西底家这样说:

21:4 ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Look, I am about to turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you are fighting against them, the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are laying siege to you from outside the wall, and I will gather them into the center of this city.
‘耶和华以色列的神这样说: 看哪! 我必使你们手中的武器, 就是你们用来与城外围困你们的巴比伦王和迦勒底人作战的武器, 转回堆积在这城的中心.

21:5 And I myself will fight against you with outstretched hand, and with strong arm, and in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
我必在怒气,烈怒和忿怒中, 用伸出来的手和强有力的膀臂, 亲自攻击你们.

21:6 And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both humankind and animal; by a great plague they will die.
我要击打住在这城的人和牲畜, 他们都要因极大的瘟疫而死.

21:7 And afterward,” declares Yahweh, “I will give Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those who remain in this city from the plague, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their lives, and he will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not take pity on them, and he will not have compassion, nor will he show compassion.” ’
然后, 我必把犹大王西底家和他的臣民, 就是在这城里经过瘟疫,刀剑之灾和饥荒而幸存的人, 都交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和他们的仇敌, 以及寻索他们性命的人的手中. 尼布甲尼撒要用刀剑击杀他们, 绝不顾惜, 不留情, 不怜悯. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

21:8 “And to this people you shall say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.
耶和华又吩咐耶利米: “你要对这人民说: ‘耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我把生命的路和死亡的路摆在你们面前.

21:9 He who stays in this city will die by the sword, or by the famine, or by the plague. And he who goes out and goes over to the Chaldeans who are laying siege to you will live, and his life will be to him as booty.
凡留在这城里的, 必因刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫而死; 但出去向围困你们的迦勒底人投降的, 必可以活着, 捡回自己的性命.

21:10 For I have set my face against this city for evil and not for good,” declares Yahweh. It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.” ’
因为我已经决意向这城降祸不降福; 这城必交在巴比伦王的手中, 他必放火把城烧毁. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

21:11 “And to the house of the king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh,
“你要对犹大王室说: ‘你们要听耶和华的话.

21:12 O house of David, thus says Yahweh, “Execute judgment in the morning, justice, and deliver the one who has been seized from the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath goes forth like the fire and it burns, and there is no one who quenches it because of the evil of your deeds.
大卫家啊! 耶和华这样说: 你们每早晨应秉公审判, 解救被抢夺的脱离欺压者的手; 免得我的烈怒因你们(“你们”有古抄本作“他们”)的恶行发作, 如火焚烧, 无人能熄灭.

21:13 Look, I am against you, O inhabitants of the valley, O rock of the plain,” declares Yahweh; “you who say, ‘Who can descend against us, or who can enter into our hiding place?’
看哪! 在山谷上,在岩石平原上的耶路撒冷啊! 我要攻击你. ’这是耶和华的宣告. ’你们说: 谁能下来攻击我们, 谁能进入我们的住处呢?

21:14 And I will punish you according to the fruit of your deeds,” declares Yahweh, “And I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it will devour all its surroundings.” ’ ”
我必照着你们所作的事应得的结果惩罚你们; 我要在耶路撒冷的树林中放火, 吞灭她四围的一切. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 22

22:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and you must speak this word there.
耶和华这样说: “你下到犹大王的宫中, 在那里宣讲这些话,

22:2 And you must say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter through these gates.
说: ‘坐大卫王位的犹大王啊! 你和你的臣仆, 以及从这些门进来的人民, 都要听耶和华的话.

22:3 Thus says Yahweh, “Act with justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been seized from the hand of the oppressor. And you must not oppress the immigrant, the orphan, and the widow. And you must not shed innocent blood in this place.
耶和华这样说: 你们要施行公正和公义, 解救被抢夺的脱离欺压者的手, 不可虐待或以强暴对待寄居的,孤儿和寡妇, 也不可在这地方流无辜人的血.

22:4 And if you indeed obey this word, then kings who sit for David on his throne will enter through the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
如果你们切实地行这些事, 就必有坐大卫王位的列王, 乘着车, 骑着马, 与自己的臣仆和人民进入这王宫的各门.

22:5 But if you do not obey these words, I swear by myself,” declares Yahweh, “that this house will become a site of ruins.” ’ ”
如果你们不听从这些话, 我指着自己起誓, 这宫殿必变为废墟. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

22:6 For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah, “You are like Gilead to me, like the head of the Lebanon. Surely I will make you a desert, like cities that are not inhabited.
因为耶和华论到犹大王的宫殿这样说: “虽然在我看来, 你好像基列, 好像黎巴嫩的山峰; 我却要使你变为旷野, 变为无人居住的城市.

22:7 And I will consecrate against you destroyers, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choicest cedars, and cast them on the fire.
我要指派毁灭者, 各有兵器攻击你; 他们必砍下你最好的香柏树, 丢进火里.

22:8 And many nations will pass by this city and they will say each one to his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done in this manner to this great city?’
多国的人必经过这城, 彼此发问: ‘耶和华为什么这样对待这大城呢? ’

22:9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, and bowed down in worship to other gods, and served them.’ ”
必有人说: ‘是因为他们离弃了耶和华他们神的约, 并且敬拜事奉别神. ’”

22:10 You must not weep for the dead person, and you must not show sympathy for him. Weep bitterly for the one who goes away, for he will not return, or see the land of his birth again.
不要为那已死的人哀哭, 不要为他悲伤; 却要为那远去的人大大哀哭, 因为他不得再回来, 也不能再见自己的国土.

22:11 For thus says Yahweh concerning Shallum, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned as king in place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: “He will not return here again.
因为论到犹大王约西亚的儿子, 就是继承他父亲约西亚作王的沙龙, 耶和华这样说: “他离开了这地方, 必不得再回来;

22:12 But in the place where they have deported him, there he will die, and he will not see this land again.
因为他要死在被掳去的地方, 不得再见这地.

22:13 Woe to the one who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without justice. His fellow countryman, he works for nothing, and he does not give to him his wages.
“用不义的手段建造自己房屋,用不公正的方法建筑自己楼房的, 有祸了! 他使自己的同胞白白作工, 不把工资付给他们.

22:14 Who says ‘I will build for myself a spacious house with large upper rooms,’ and he cuts windows for it, and it is paneled with cedar, and he paints it with vermilion.
他说: ‘我要为自己建造宏伟的房屋,宽敞的楼房. ’他又为房屋装设宽阔的窗户, 用香柏木作镶板, 并且漆上红色.

22:15 Do you reign as king because you are competing in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and he did justice and righteousness, then it was well with him?
难道你是用香柏木争胜来表明王的身分吗? 你父亲不是也吃也喝, 也施行公正和公义吗? 那时他得享福乐.

22:16 He judged the legal cause of the needy and the poor, and then it was well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares Yahweh.
他为困苦和贫穷人伸冤, 那时他得享福乐. 这不是认识我的真义吗? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

22:17 “But there is nothing in your eyes and your heart except your unlawful gain, and on shedding the blood of the innocent, and on committing oppression and extortion.”
“但你的眼你的心什么都不顾, 只顾你的不义之财, 只知流无辜人的血, 施行欺压和迫害的事. ”

22:18 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: “They will not lament for him, ‘Alas, my brother,’ or ‘Alas, sister.’ They will not lament for him, ‘Alas, lord,’ or ‘alas, his majesty.’
因此, 论到犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬, 耶和华这样说: “人必不为他哀伤, 说: ‘哀哉, 我哥哥! ’‘哀哉, 我姊姊! ’人必不为他哀伤, 说: ‘哀哉, 主上! ’‘哀哉, 尊荣的王! ’

22:19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey. He will be dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
他像驴子一样被埋葬, 被拖走, 拋在耶路撒冷城门外. ”

22:20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out, and in Bashan lift up your voice, and cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers are shattered.
“耶路撒冷啊, 上黎巴嫩哀叫吧! 在巴珊扬声吧! 从亚巴琳哀叫吧! 因为你的盟友都毁灭了.

22:21 I spoke to you in the times you were secure, and you said, ‘I will not listen!’ This was your way from your youth, for you have not obeyed my voice.
你安定的时候, 我曾警告过你, 你却说: ‘我不听! ’从你幼年以来, 你就是这样, 不听从我的话.

22:22 All your shepherds will shepherd the wind, and your lovers will go into captivity. Yes, then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness.
风要卷走你所有的牧人, 你的盟友要被掳去; 那时, 因你的一切恶行, 你必蒙羞受辱.

22:23 Inhabitants of Lebanon, nestled among the cedars, how you will groan when labor pains come to you, fear and pain as the woman who gives birth.
住在黎巴嫩, 在香柏林中搭窝的啊! 有痛苦临到你, 像产妇剧痛的时候, 你要怎样呻吟呢? ”

22:24 “As I live,” declares Yahweh, “surely if Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were the seal on my right hand, surely from there I would wrench you off.
“我指着我的永生起誓(这是耶和华的宣告), 犹大王约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅, 虽然你是我右手上的印戒, 我也要把你从手上脱下来,

22:25 And I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those from whom you are frightened by their presence, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
交在那些寻索你性命和你们惧怕的人手中, 就是交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和迦勒底人手中.

22:26 And I will throw you and your mother who gave birth to you to another country where you were not born, and there you will die.
我要把你和生你的母亲驱赶到异地去, 你们不是生在那里, 却要死在那里.

22:27 As for the land to which they are longing to return, they will not return.
你们(“你们”原文作“他们”)渴望归回本国, 却不得回去. ”

22:28 Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered vessel? Or a vessel in which there is no delight? Why are he and his offspring thrown far, and cast away to the land that they do not know?”
哥尼雅这个人是被鄙视,被摔碎的瓶子, 是没有人喜悦的器皿吗? 他和他的后裔为什么被驱赶, 被拋弃到他们不认识的地去呢?

22:29 O land, land, land, hear the word of Yahweh.
大地啊! 大地啊! 大地啊! 要听耶和华的话.

22:30 Thus says Yahweh: “Record this man as childless, a man who will not succeed in his days, for no man from his offspring will succeed him, sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.”
耶和华这样说: “你们要写下, 这人算为无子, 他的一生毫无成就; 因为他的后裔中没有一人可以成功, 能坐在大卫的王位上, 再次统治犹大. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 23

23:1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the flock of my pasture,” declares Yahweh.
“那些残杀和赶散我牧场上的羊群的牧人, 有祸了! ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:2 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people, “You yourselves have scattered my flock, and you have driven them away, and you do not attend to them. Look, I will punish you for the evil of your deeds,” declares Yahweh.
因此, 耶和华以色列的神论到牧养他(“他”原文作“我”)子民的牧人这样说: “你们使我的羊群四散, 把它们赶走, 并没有看顾它们; 看哪! 我必因你们的恶行惩罚你们. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:3 “Then I myself will gather together the remnant of my flock from all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their grazing place, and they will be fruitful, and they will become numerous.
“我要亲自把我羊群中余剩的, 从我把它们赶逐到的各地, 招聚出来, 领它们归回自己的羊圈, 使它们繁殖增多.

23:4 And I will raise up over them shepherds, and they will shepherd them, and they will no longer fear, and they will not be dismayed, and they will not be missing,” declares Yahweh.
我要兴起牧人, 牧养它们; 它们必不再恐惧惊慌, 一个也不会失掉. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:5 “Look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous branch, and he will reign as king, and he will achieve success, and he will do justice and righteousness in the land.
“看哪! 日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告), 我必给大卫兴起一个公义的苗裔; 他必执政为王, 行事有智慧, 在地上施行公正和公义.

23:6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell in safety, and this is his name by which he will be called: ‘Yahweh is our righteousness.’
在他执政的日子, 犹大必得救, 以色列也必安然居住. 人要称他的名字为‘耶和华我们的义’. ”

23:7 “Therefore look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when they will no longer say, ‘As Yahweh lives, who led up the Israelites from the land of Egypt,’
“因此, 看哪! 日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告), 人不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来的永活的耶和华起誓,

23:8 but ‘As Yahweh lives, who led up, and who brought the offspring of the house of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where he had driven them.’ Then they will live in their land.”
却要指着那领以色列家的后裔从北方之地,从他(“他”原文作“我”)把他们赶逐到的各地上来的,永活的耶和华起誓. 他们就必住在自己的地方. ”

23:9 Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken in my midst. All my bones tremble. I have become like a drunken man, even like a man over whom wine has passed, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.
论到那些先知, 我的心在我里面破碎, 我全身的骨头都发抖. 因为耶和华的缘故, 又因为他的圣言的缘故, 我就像一个醉酒的人, 像一个被酒灌醉的人.

23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for the land mourns because of a curse. The pastures of the desert are dry, and their evil has been their way of running, and their power is not right.
因为这地满了行淫的人; 因受咒诅, 地就悲哀, 旷野的草场都枯干了; 他们走的路是邪恶的, 他们的权力误用了.

23:11 “For both prophet as well as priest are godless, even in my temple I have found their wickedness,” declares Yahweh.
“先知和祭司都不敬虔, 甚至在我殿里我也看见他们的邪恶. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:12 “Therefore their way will be to them like the slippery places, they will be pushed in the darkness, and they will fall into it, for I will bring disaster on them in the year of their punishment,” declares Yahweh.
“因此, 他们的路必像滑地; 他们必被赶逐到黑暗中, 必在那里仆倒. 因为到了惩罚他们的年日, 我必使灾祸临到他们. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:13 “Now in the prophets of Samaria I saw a disgusting thing. They prophesied by Baal and they caused my people Israel to err.
“在撒玛利亚的先知中, 我看见可厌的事: 他们竟奉巴力的名说预言, 使我的子民以色列走错了路.

23:14 And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible. They commit adultery, and they walk in lies, and they make strong the hands of evildoers, so that they have not turned back each from his wickedness. All of them have become to me like Sodom, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
在耶路撒冷的先知中, 我看见可怕的事. 他们犯奸淫, 行事虚假, 坚固恶人的手, 以致没有人离弃恶行; 在我看来, 他们都像所多玛人, 耶路撒冷的居民也像蛾摩拉人一样. ”

23:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets, “Look, I am going to let them eat wormwood and I will give them water of poison to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem went out ungodliness to all the land.”
因此, 论到这些先知, 万军之耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我必使他们吃苦堇, 喝毒水, 因为有不敬虔的风气, 从耶路撒冷的先知中散播出来, 遍及全地. ”

23:16 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “You must not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are deluding you with visions of their mind, They do not speak from the mouth of Yahweh.
万军之耶和华这样说: “不要听从这些向你们说预言的先知所说的话, 他们使你们存有虚幻的希望; 他们所讲的异象是出于自己的心思, 不是出于耶和华的口.

23:17 They are continually saying to those who disregard the word of Yahweh, ‘Peace it will be to you,’ and to each one who walks in the stubbornness of his heart they say, ‘Calamity will not come upon you.’
他们不断对那些藐视我的人说: ‘耶和华说: 你们必平安无事! ’又对所有随从自己顽梗的心行事的人说: ‘灾祸必不临到你们! ’”

23:18 For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he has seen and heard his word? Who has listened attentively to his word and heard it?
可是他们中间有谁曾参与耶和华的议会, 看见或听见他的话呢? 有谁曾留心听他的话而实在听见呢?

23:19 Look, the storm of Yahweh has gone forth in wrath, even a whirling tempest. It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.
看哪! 耶和华的旋风, 在震怒中发出, 是旋转的狂风, 必卷到恶人的头上.

23:20 The anger of Yahweh will not turn back until his doing and until his keeping the plans of his mind. In latter days you will look closely at it with understanding.
耶和华的怒气必不转消, 直到他作成和实现他心中的计划. 在末后的日子, 你们就会完全明白这事.

23:21 I have not sent the prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
“我没有差派这些先知, 但他们自己到处跑; 我没有对他们说话, 他们竟擅自说预言.

23:22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my people, and they would have caused them to turn from their evil way, and from the evil of their deeds.
如果他们曾参与我的议会, 就必向我的子民宣告我的信息, 使他们转离他们的恶道, 离开他们的恶行.

23:23 Am I a God from near,” declares Yahweh, “and not a God from far?
难道我只是近处的神吗? 不也是远处的神吗? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:24 Or can a person hide himself in secret places and I cannot see him?” declares Yahweh. “Do I not fill up the heaven and the earth?” declares Yahweh.
“人怎能躲藏在隐密处, 以致我看不见他呢? (这是耶和华的宣告). 我岂不是充满天地吗? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:25 “I have heard what the prophets who prophesy lies have said in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed! I have dreamed!’
“那些先知所说的话我都听见了, 他们冒我的名说虚假的预言: ‘我作了梦! 我作了梦! ’

23:26 How long will this be in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceitfulness of their hearts,
那些先知心里存着这样的意念要到几时呢? 他们说虚假的预言, 说出自己心中的诡诈;

23:27 who plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell each one to his neighbor, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal?
他们以为借着互相传述自己的梦, 就可以使我的子民忘记我的名, 好像他们的列祖因巴力忘记了我的名一样.

23:28 The prophet who has with him a dream, let him tell the dream. But the prophet who has my word with him, let him speak my word faithfully. What is straw compared to wheat?” declares Yahweh.
作了梦的先知, 让他把梦述说出来; 但得了我话语的先知, 该忠实地传讲我的话. 禾秆怎能和麦子相比呢? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:29 “Is not my word like fire?” declares Yahweh, “and like a blacksmith’s hammer that breaks a rock into pieces?
“我的话不是像火, 不是像能打碎岩石的大锤吗? ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:30 “Therefore look, I am against the prophets,” declares Yahweh, “who steal my words each one from his neighbor.
“所以, 看哪! 那些先知互相偷取对方的话, 当作我的话, 我要对付他们. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:31 Look, I am against the prophets,” declares Yahweh, “who take their tongues and declare as prophets, ‘Yahweh declares.’
“看哪! 那些先知用自己的舌头说: ‘这是耶和华的宣告’, 我要对付他们. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:32 Look, I am against those who prophesy dreams of lies,” declares Yahweh, “and tell them, and they caused my people to err through their lies, and in their recklessness, when I myself have not sent them nor commanded them, so they profit not this people at all,” declares Yahweh.
“看哪! 那些借虚假的梦说预言的, 我要对付他们. ”这是耶和华的宣告. ”他们述说这些梦, 以虚谎和夸张的话使我的子民走错了路. 我没有差派他们, 也没有吩咐他们; 他们对这人民毫无益处. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:33 “Now when this people, or a prophet, or a priest, ask you, saying, ‘What is the burden of Yahweh?’ then you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden, and I will forsake you,’ ” declares Yahweh.
“如果这人民,或先知,或祭司问你说: ‘耶和华有什么默示呢? ’你要回答他们: ‘你们就是重担(“你们就是重担”按照《马索拉抄本》应作: “什么默示? ”现参照《七十士译本》翻译. “重担”和“默示”原文是同一个字), 我要丢弃你们. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

23:34 “And the prophet, and the priest, and the people who say, ‘The burden of Yahweh,’ I will punish that man and his house.
“无论是先知,是祭司, 或是人民, 凡说‘这是耶和华的默示’的, 我都要惩罚那人和他的家. ”

23:35 Thus you shall say, each one to his neighbor and each one to his brother: ‘What has Yahweh answered?’ or, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’
你们各人对自己的邻舍, 对自己的兄弟要这样说: “耶和华回答了什么? 耶和华说了什么? ”

23:36 But you shall not mention the burden of Yahweh, for the burden is to each one his word, and so you twist the words of the living God, Yahweh of hosts, our God.
你们不可再提耶和华的默示, 你们各人所说的话将成为自己的重担; 因为你们曲解永活的神万军之耶和华我们神的话了.

23:37 Thus you shall say to that prophet, ‘What has Yahweh answered you?’ or, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’
你们要对神的先知(“你们要对神的先知”或译: “耶利米啊, 你要对那些先知”)说: “耶和华回答了你什么? 耶和华说了什么呢? ”

23:38 But if you say, ‘The burden of Yahweh,’ therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘because of your saying these words, “The burden of Yahweh,” then I will send to you, saying, “You shall not say, ‘The burden of Yahweh.’ ” ’
如果你们仍说: “这是耶和华的默示”, 耶和华就必这样说: “你们既然说‘这是耶和华的默示’这句话, 而我又曾差派人去告诉你们不可再说‘这是耶和华的默示’;

23:39 Therefore look, here I am, and I will surely lift you up and forsake you and the city that I gave to you and to your ancestors from my presence,
因此, 看哪! 我必把你们当作重担举起来(“我必把你们当作重担举起来”或译: “我必定忘记你们”), 把你们连同我赐给你们和你们列祖的城都从我面前丢弃.

23:40 and I will bring upon you an everlasting disgrace and an everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”
我必使你们蒙受永远的凌辱,永远的羞耻, 是不能忘记的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 24

24:1 Yahweh showed me, and look, there were two baskets of figs placed before the temple of Yahweh—after Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had deported Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, with the officials of Judah, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒把犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅, 和犹大的众领袖,工匠与铁匠从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去. 这事以后, 耶和华使我看见在耶和华的殿前面摆着两筐无花果.

24:2 The one basket had very good figs, like early figs, and the other basket had very bad figs that could not be eaten because of their bad quality.
一筐是极好的无花果, 像初熟的无花果; 另一筐是极坏的无花果, 坏到不能吃.

24:3 And Yahweh asked me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs—the good figs, very good, and the bad figs, very bad, that cannot be eaten because of their bad quality.”
于是耶和华问我: “耶利米啊, 你看见什么? ”我回答: “我看见无花果. 那些好的无花果极好, 坏的却极坏, 坏到不能吃. ”

24:4 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我, 说:

24:5 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles of Judah whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.
“耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘被掳去的犹大人, 就是我打发离开这地方到迦勒底人之地去的, 我必看他们如同这些好的无花果一样, 眷顾他们.

24:6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. And I will build them and not annihilate them, and I will plant them and not uproot them.
我必关注他们, 眷顾他们, 领他们归回这地. 我必建立他们, 必不拆毁; 我必栽植他们, 必不拔除.

24:7 And I will give to them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh, and they will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with the whole of their heart.
我必赐给他们一颗认识我的心, 知道我就是耶和华; 他们要作我的子民, 我要亲自作他们的神, 因为他们必一心归向我. ’”

24:8 But like the bad figs that cannot be eaten because of their bad quality—for thus says Yahweh—so I will treat Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who live in the land of Egypt.
“但耶和华这样说: ‘我怎样处置那些坏到不能吃的坏无花果, 我也必照样对待犹大王西底家,他的众领袖和耶路撒冷的余民, 不论是余剩在这地的, 或是住在埃及地的.

24:9 And I will make them as a terror, an evil to all the kingdoms of the earth, as a disgrace and a proverb, as a taunt and a curse, in all the places where I will drive them.
我必使他们成为地上万国所惊恐,所讨厌的; 在我赶逐他们到的各地方, 成为被人羞辱,讥笑,嘲弄,咒诅的对象.

24:10 And I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the plague, until they perish from the land that I gave to them and their ancestors.’ ”
我必打发刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫去攻击他们, 直到他们从我赐给他们和他们列祖的土地上都消灭了. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 25

25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年, 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒第一年, 有话临到耶利米, 是关于犹大众民的.

25:2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
耶利米先知就把这话告诉犹大众民和耶路撒冷所有的居民, 说:

25:3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even up to this day, these twenty-three years the word of Yahweh has come to me, and I have spoken to you over and over again, but you have not listened.
“从犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚第十三年直到今日, 这二十三年来, 常有耶和华的话临到我, 我也不断对你们传讲, 你们却不听从.

25:4 And though Yahweh has sent all his servants the prophets to you over and over again you have not listened, and you have not inclined your ear to hear,
耶和华虽然不断差遣他的仆人众先知到你们那里去; 但你们却没有听从, 毫不留心.

25:5 saying, ‘Turn back please, each one from his evil way, and from the evil of your deeds, and live on the land that Yahweh has given to you and to your ancestors from a long time back and until forever,
他们对你们说: ‘你们各人要悔改, 离开自己的恶道和邪恶的行为, 就可以住在耶和华赐给你们和你们列祖的土地上, 直到永永远远. ’”

25:6 and you must not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow in worship to them, and you must not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, then I will not do something bad to you.’
“你们不要随从别的神, 不要事奉敬拜他们, 也不可容你们手所作的惹我发怒; 这样, 我就不会使祸患临到你们.

25:7 ‘Yet you have not listened to me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘so that you have provoked me to anger with the work of your hands for your own harm.’
但你们没有听从我, 竟容你们手所作的惹我发怒, 自招祸害. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

25:8 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘Because you have not obeyed my words,
因此, 万军之耶和华这样说: “因为你们没有听从我的话,

25:9 look, I am going to send and take all the clans of the north,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around, and I will destroy them, and I will make them a horror, and an object of hissing, and everlasting ruins.
看哪! 我要打发人去征召北方的众族, 和我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒, 领他们来攻击这地和这地的居民, 以及周围的列国; 我要把他们彻底消灭, 使他们成为令人惊骇, 受人嗤笑的对象, 和永远荒废的地方. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

25:10 And I will exterminate from them the sound of jubilation, and the sound of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
“我要从他们中间除掉欢喜和快乐的声音, 新郎和新妇的声音, 推磨的声音和灯的亮光.

25:11 And all this land will become a site of ruins, a desolation, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
这地要全变为荒废, 令人惊骇; 这些国家要服事巴比伦王七十年.

25:12 And then when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,’ declares Yahweh, ‘for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it an everlasting waste.
“七十年满了以后, 我要按着他们的罪孽惩罚巴比伦王和那国, 就是迦勒底人之地, 使它永远荒凉. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

25:13 And I will bring upon that land all my words that I have spoken against it, everything that is written in this scroll which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations.
“我必使我所说攻击那地的一切话应验在那地; 我所说的, 就是一切记录在这书上的, 是耶利米攻击列国所说的预言.

25:14 For many nations and great kings will let them work, even them, and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.’ ”
因为许多国家和大君王将要奴役迦勒底人, 我必按着他们的作为和他们手所作的报应他们. ”

25:15 For thus said Yahweh, the God of Israel, to me, “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and you must give it to all the nations to whom I am sending you to drink.
耶和华以色列的神对我这样说: “你从我的手中拿这杯烈怒的酒, 给列国喝, 就是我差遣你去的列国.

25:16 And they will drink, and they will stagger, and they will act like madmen because of the presence of the sword that I am sending among them.”
他们喝了, 就会东倒西歪, 疯狂乱性, 因为我打发刀剑到他们中间去. ”

25:17 So I took the cup from the hand of Yahweh and I gave it to all the nations to whom Yahweh sent me to drink:
于是我从耶和华的手中接过这杯, 给列国喝, 就是耶和华差遣我去的列国,

25:18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, and its kings, and its officials, to make them a site of ruins, a horror, an object of hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
包括耶路撒冷,犹大的城镇, 和她的君王,领袖, 使这些城镇荒废, 成为令人惊骇,被人嗤笑,咒骂的对象, 好像今天一样.

25:19 Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his officials, and all his people;
又包括法老, 就是埃及王, 和他的臣仆,王侯, 以及全体人民,

25:20 and all the other people; and all the kings of the land of Uz; and all the kings of the land of the Philistines—Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
并所有外族的人; 还有乌斯地的众王,非利士人之地的众王, 就是亚实基伦,迦萨, 以革伦和亚实突余剩的人的王;

25:21 Edom, and Moab, and the Ammonites;
并有以东,摩押,亚扪,

25:22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastland that is across the sea;
推罗的列王,西顿的列王,海外岛屿的列王,

25:23 and Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all those who are trimmed to the side;
底但,提玛,布斯, 所有剃除鬓发的部落,

25:24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the other people who dwell in the desert;
阿拉伯的列王,住在沙漠的外族人的列王,

25:25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;
心利的列王,以拦的列王,玛代的列王,

25:26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, each one to his brother, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach, he will drink after them.
北方远近的列王, 一个一个, 以及地上的万国, 就是在这地面上的列国, 都喝了; 他们喝了以后, 示沙克王也要喝.

25:27 “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Drink and become drunk, and vomit, and fall, and you must not rise because of the presence of the sword that I am sending among you.” ’
“你要对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 你们要喝, 并要喝醉, 呕吐, 以致跌倒, 不能再起来, 因为我打发刀剑到你们中间去. ’

25:28 And it will happen, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “You must certainly drink!
如果他们不肯从你的手中接过这杯来喝, 你就要对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 你们一定要喝.

25:29 For look, on the city that is called by my name I am beginning to inflict harm, and you indeed, will you go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares Yahweh of hosts.’
因为, 看哪! 我既然在那称为我名下的城中先降灾祸, 你们真可免受惩罚吗? 你们必不能免受惩罚, 因为我要呼唤刀剑来攻击这地所有的居民. ’”这是万军之耶和华的宣告.

25:30 And you yourself shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them: ‘Yahweh will roar from on high, and from his holy dwelling place he will give his voice. He will roar mightily against his settlement, a jubilant shout like those who tread grapes, he will answer against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“因此你要对他们宣讲这一切话, 对他们说: ‘耶和华必从高天吼叫, 从他的圣所发声; 他必大声吼叫攻击自己的羊圈; 他要对地上所有的居民呼喊, 像那些踹葡萄的人呼喊一样.

25:31 The rage of battle will resound to the end of the earth, for there is a lawsuit of Yahweh against the nations. He is entering into judgment with all wicked flesh, he will give them to the sword,’ declares Yahweh.”
吶喊的声音要传到地极, 因为耶和华要控告列国, 也要审判万人; 至于恶人, 他必把他们交给刀剑. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

25:32 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Look, disaster is going out from nation to nation, and a great tempest is stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
万军之耶和华这样说: “看哪! 必有灾祸发出, 从这国直到那国; 必有大风暴从地极刮起. ”

25:33 And the slain ones of Yahweh will be on that day from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, and they will not be mourned, and they will not be gathered, and they will not be buried. They will become like dung on the surface of the ground.
到那日, 从地的这边到地的那边, 都必有被耶和华刺死的人; 必没有人为他们悲哀, 没有人收殓他们,埋葬他们; 他们都必在地面上成为粪肥.

25:34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out. And roll about in mourning in the dust, O leaders of the flock. For your days of slaughter and your dispersions have arrived, and you will fall like a vessel of desire.
牧人啊, 你们要哀号, 呼叫! 羊群的领袖啊, 你们要在灰尘中打滚! 因为你们被宰杀的日子已经到了; 我要粉碎你们, 你们要跌倒, 像珍贵的器皿跌碎一样.

25:35 And flight will perish from the shepherds, and escape from the leaders of the flock.
牧人无处逃避, 羊群的领袖无法逃脱.

25:36 A sound, the cry of distress of the shepherds and the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for Yahweh is despoiling their pasture.
听啊! 牧人的哀叫, 羊群的领袖的悲号, 因为耶和华正在毁坏他们的牧场.

25:37 And the peaceful settlements are devastated because of the burning anger of Yahweh.
因为耶和华猛烈的怒气, 平静的羊圈毁坏了.

25:38 He has left his den like a lion, for their land has become a horror, because of the anger of the oppressors, and because of his burning anger.”
他像狮子离开了洞穴, 使他们的国土变成荒野, 因为残酷的刀剑(“刀剑”有古抄本作“猛烈”), 和他猛烈的怒气临到他们.

Jeremiah - Chapter 26

26:1 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh, saying,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬开始执政的时候, 有这话从耶和华那里临到耶利米, 说:

26:2 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Stand in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh, and you must speak to all the cities of Judah that come to bow in worship in the house of Yahweh all the words that I command you to speak to them. You must not omit a word.
“耶和华这样说: ‘你要站在耶和华殿的院子里, 对来自犹大各城, 到耶和华殿敬拜的人, 把我吩咐你对他们说的一切话, 一字不漏告诉他们.

26:3 Perhaps they will listen and turn back each from his evil way, and I will relent of the disaster that I am planning to do to them because of their evil deeds.
或者他们肯听从, 各人转离自己的恶道, 我就回心转意, 不把我因为他们的恶行原想要施行的灾祸, 降给他们.

26:4 And you shall say to them, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you,
你要对他们说: 耶和华这样说: 如果你们不听从我, 不遵行我设立在你们面前的律法,

26:5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I have sent to you, over and over again, though you have not listened,
不听从我差遣到你们那里去的我的仆人众先知的话(我不断差遣他们, 但你们一直都不听从),

26:6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and this city I will make a curse for all the nations of the earth.’ ” ’ ”
我就必使这殿像示罗一样, 使这城成为地上列国咒诅的对象. ’”

26:7 And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the temple of Yahweh.
耶利米在耶和华殿里所说的这些话, 众祭司,众先知和众民都听见了.

26:8 And then as Jeremiah finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold of him, saying, “You will die!
耶利米说完了耶和华吩咐他对众民所说的一切话, 众祭司,众先知和众民就抓住他, 说: “你必要死!

26:9 Why have you prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be in ruins, without inhabitant’?” And all the people gathered around Jeremiah in the temple of Yahweh.
你为什么奉耶和华的名预言, 说: ‘这殿必像示罗一样, 这城必变为荒场, 没有人居住呢? ’”于是众民在耶和华的殿里集合到耶利米那里.

26:10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the house of the king to the temple of Yahweh, and they sat in the entrance of the New Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
犹大的领袖听见了这些事, 就从王宫上到耶和华的殿, 坐在耶和华殿里新门的入口.

26:11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and to all the people, saying, “This man deserves the death sentence, because he has prophesied against this city as that which you have heard with your ears.”
祭司和先知对领袖和众民说: “这人应该处死, 因为他说预言攻击这城, 正如你们亲耳听见的. ”

26:12 Then Jeremiah said to all the officials and to all the people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
耶利米对众领袖和众民说: “耶和华差遣我预言你们所听见, 一切攻击这殿和这城的话.

26:13 Now therefore amend your ways and your deeds, and obey the voice of Yahweh your God, and Yahweh will relent of the disaster that he has spoken over you.
现在, 你们要改善你们所行所作的, 听从耶和华你们的神的话, 耶和华就必回心转意, 不把所说的灾祸降给你们.

26:14 But as for me, look, I am in your hand, do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
至于我, 我在你们手中; 你们看怎样好, 怎样对, 就怎样待我吧!

26:15 Only you must certainly know that if you put me to death, you will bring on yourselves innocent blood, and on this city and on its inhabitants, for truly Yahweh sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
不过你们要确实知道, 如果你们杀死我, 就必使无辜的人的血归到你们和这城, 以及这城的居民头上, 因为耶和华实在差遣了我到你们中间, 把这一切话传到你们耳中. ”

26:16 Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, “This man does not deserve a sentence of death, for in the name of Yahweh our God, he has spoken to us.”
于是众领袖和众民对祭司和先知说: “这人不应该处死, 因为他奉耶和华我们神的名对我们说话. ”

26:17 Then men from the elders of the land arose and said to all the assembly of the people, saying,
那地的长老中有几个人起来, 对集合在场的全体人民说:

26:18 “Micah the Morashtite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and he said to all the people of Judah, saying: ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Zion will be plowed, and Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the temple as high places of wood.” ’
“在犹大王希西家的日子, 摩利沙人弥迦对犹大的众民说预言: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 锡安要像田地被耕犁, 耶路撒冷必成为废墟, 这殿的山必变为杂树丛生的高冈. ’

26:19 Did Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and all Judah actually put him to death? Was he not in fear of Yahweh? And he entreated the face of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster that he had spoken against them. But we are about to do great disaster to ourselves.”
犹大王希西家和犹大众人可曾把他处死呢? 希西家不是敬畏耶和华, 求他开恩, 以致耶和华回心转意, 没有把他所说的灾祸降在他们身上吗? 但我们现在竟自招大祸. ”

26:20 Indeed, there also was a man prophesying in the name of Yahweh, Uriah, the son of Shemaiah, from Kiriath-Jearim, and he prophesied against this city and against this land like all the words of Jeremiah.
曾有一个人, 就是基列．耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚, 他奉耶和华的名说预言, 攻击这城和这地, 他的预言和耶利米所说的一样.

26:21 And when King Jehoiakim, and all his warriors, and all the officials heard his words, then the king sought to put him to death. But Uriah heard, and he was afraid, and he fled and went to Egypt.
约雅敬王和他所有的勇士, 以及犹大的众领袖听见了乌利亚的话, 王就想要杀他. 乌利亚听见了, 就惧怕, 就逃往埃及去.

26:22 Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt. Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and men with him went to Egypt.
约雅敬王打发人到埃及去, 就是派亚革波的儿子以利拿单和一些人同到埃及去.

26:23 And they brought out Uriah from Egypt and they brought him to King Jehoiakim, and he struck him down with the sword, and he threw his dead body into the burial sites of the sons of the people.
他们就把乌利亚从埃及带出来, 送到约雅敬王那里. 王用刀杀死他, 把他的尸体拋在平民的坟地里.

26:24 However, the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that he was not given into the hand of the people to put him to death.
然而沙番的儿子亚希甘却保护耶利米, 不许人把耶利米交在人民的手中处死.

Jeremiah - Chapter 27

27:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying—
犹大王约西亚的儿子西底家(“西底家”有古抄本作“约雅敬”)开始执政的时候, 有这话从耶和华那里临到耶利米, 说:

27:2 thus said Yahweh to me—“Make for yourself fetters and yokes and put them on your neck,
“耶和华对我这样说: ‘你要用绳套和木头做轭, 套在自己的颈上.

27:3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon in the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the king of Judah.
然后借着那些前来耶路撒冷朝见犹大王西底家的使臣的手, 把轭送到以东王,摩押王,亚扪王,推罗王,西顿王那里.

27:4 And you must command them for their masters, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, this you shall say to your masters:
你要吩咐使臣对他们的王说: 万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 你们要这样对你们的王说:

27:5 “I have made the earth with humankind and animals that are on the face of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I give it to whomever is right in my eyes.
是我用大能和伸出来的膀臂创造了大地, 以及地面上的人和兽; 我看给谁适合, 就把地给谁.

27:6 And now I myself have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and also the animals of the field I have given to him to serve him.
现在我已经亲自把这一切国家都交在我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中, 连田野的走兽, 我也交给他, 供他奴役.

27:7 And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and his grandson, until the coming of the time of his own land. Then many nations and great kings will let him work.
列国都要服事他和他的儿子,孙子, 直到他本国遭报的时候来到; 那时, 许多国家和大君王都要奴役他.

27:8 “But it will be that the nation or kingdom that will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, and with the famine, and with the plague,” declares Yahweh, “until I have destroyed it with my hand.
“‘无论哪一国,哪一邦, 不服事巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒, 不把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下, 我必用刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫去惩罚那国, 直到我借着巴比伦王的手把他们完全消灭. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

27:9 And you, you must not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your interpreters of signs, and to your sorcerers who are saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
‘至于你们, 不可听从你们的先知, 也不可听从占卜的,解梦的,算命的和行邪术的; 他们告诉你们说: 你们必不会服事巴比伦王.

27:10 For they are prophesying to you a lie, so that you will be removed from your land, and I will drive you away, and you will perish.
因为他们向你们说虚假的预言, 使你们远离你们的土地; 我要赶逐你们, 你们必要灭亡.

27:11 But the nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and will serve him, yet will I leave it on its land,” declares Yahweh, “and they will till it, and they will live in it.” ’ ”
但哪一国肯把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下, 服事他, 我就必使那国仍留在本土, 可以在那里耕种和居住. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

27:12 And I spoke words like these to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
我照着这一切话对犹大王西底家说: “你们要把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下, 服事他和他的人民, 就可以生存.

27:13 Why should you die—you and your people—by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
你和你的人民为什么要因刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫而死, 正如耶和华论到不肯服事巴比伦王的国家所说的一样呢?

27:14 And you must not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying a lie to you.
不要听从那些对你们说‘你们必不会服事巴比伦王’的先知的话, 因为他们向你们说的是虚假的预言.

27:15 For I have not sent them,” declares Yahweh, “but they are prophesying in my name falsely, so that I will drive them away. And you will perish—you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
我并没有差遣他们(这是耶和华的宣告), 他们却冒我的名说虚假的预言, 以致我赶逐你们, 使你们和那些向你们说虚假预言的先知都一同灭亡. ”

27:16 Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘You must not listen to the words of your prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, “Look, the vessels of the house of Yahweh are about to be quickly brought back from Babylon”, for they are prophesying a lie to you.
我又对众祭司和这众民说: “耶和华这样说: ‘你们的先知对你们预言, 说: 耶和华殿中的器皿快要从巴比伦送回来了. 他们的话, 你们不要听从, 因为他们对你们说的是虚假的预言.

27:17 And you must not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city become a site of ruins?
你们不要听从他们, 只要服事巴比伦王, 就可以生存. 为什么要使这城变为废墟呢?

27:18 But if they are prophets, and if there is with them the word of Yahweh, let them please plead with Yahweh of hosts, that the vessels that are left over in the temple of Yahweh, and the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, must not go to Babylon.’
如果他们是真先知, 如果他们有耶和华的话, 就让他们向万军之耶和华祈求, 使那些留在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫中, 以及在耶路撒冷中的器皿, 不会被送到巴比伦去. ’

27:19 For thus says Yahweh of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the stands, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
因为万军之耶和华这样说, 论到这些柱子,铜海,盆座和留在这城其余的器皿,

27:20 which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, did not take when he deported Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒把犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅, 以及犹大和耶路撒冷所有的贵族, 从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去的时候, 没有拿走的器皿;

27:21 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Yahweh, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
论到那些留在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫中, 以及在耶路撒冷中的器皿, 万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说:

27:22 ‘They will be brought to Babylon, and there they will stay until the day of my attending to them,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’ ”
‘这些器皿必被送到巴比伦, 存在那里, 直到我眷顾这些器皿的日子. 那时, 我必把它们带上来, 放回这地方. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 28

28:1 And it was in that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur, the prophet who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of Yahweh before the eyes of the priests and all the people, saying,
当年, 就是犹大王西底家开始执政的第四年五月, 基遍人押朔的儿子哈拿尼雅先知, 在耶和华殿中, 当着祭司和众民的面前对我说:

28:2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
“万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘我已经折断了巴比伦王的轭.

28:3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the house of Yahweh which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took away from this place and brought to Babylon.
在两年之内, 我必把耶和华殿中的一切器皿, 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从这地方掠到巴比伦去的, 都带回这地方.

28:4 And Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, I will bring back to this place,’ declares Yahweh, ‘For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ”
我也必把犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅, 和所有被掳到巴比伦去的犹大人, 都带回这地方, 因为我必折断巴比伦王的轭. ’这是耶和华的宣告. ”

28:5 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of Yahweh,
耶利米先知当着祭司和站在耶和华殿里的众民面前, 对哈拿尼雅先知说:

28:6 and Jeremiah the prophet said, “Amen! May Yahweh do so; may Yahweh fulfill your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of Yahweh and all the exiles from Babylon to this place.
“阿们! 愿耶和华这样行, 愿耶和华使你预言的话应验, 把耶和华殿中的器皿和所有被掳的人, 都从巴比伦带回这地方来.

28:7 Nevertheless listen please to this word that I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people,
不过, 你应该听我向你和众民耳中所说的这话.

28:8 The prophets who were before me and before you from ancient times prophesied against many countries and against great kingdoms of war, and of disaster, and of plague.
自古以来, 在你我以前的先知, 已经预言有战争,灾祸和瘟疫要临到许多地方和强国.

28:9 The prophet who prophesies peace, at the coming of the word of the prophet, will become known as the prophet that Yahweh has truly sent.”
但预言平安的先知, 除非他的话应验, 人才会承认他确实是耶和华所差遣的先知. ”

28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
于是哈拿尼雅先知把耶利米先知颈项上的轭取下来, 折断了.

28:11 Then Hananiah said before the eyes of all the people, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘This is how I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, within two years, from the neck of all the nations.’ ” And Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
哈拿尼雅又当着众民面前说: “耶和华这样说: ‘两年之内, 我必这样从列国的颈项上, 折断巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的轭. ’”于是耶利米先知就走了.

28:12 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet broke the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
哈拿尼雅先知把耶利米先知颈项上的轭折断了以后, 耶和华的话就临到耶利米, 说:

28:13 “Go, and you must say to Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You have broken yoke bars of wood, but you have made in place of them yoke bars of iron.”
“你去告诉哈拿尼雅说: ‘耶和华这样说: 你折断了木轭, 却要换来铁轭.

28:14 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, to serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and they will serve him, and I have even given the animals of the open field to him.” ’ ”
因为万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 我要把铁轭套在这些国家的颈项上, 使他们服事巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒; 他们要服事他, 连田野的走兽, 我也交给他了. ’”

28:15 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Please listen, Hananiah, Yahweh has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie.
耶利米先知就对哈拿尼雅先知说: “哈拿尼雅啊! 你要听, 耶和华并没有差遣你, 你竟使这人民信靠谎言.

28:16 Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am going to send you from the face of the earth. This year you will die because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.’ ”
因此耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我必使你离开人世; 你今年一定死, 因为你说了悖逆耶和华的话. ’”

28:17 And Hananiah the prophet died in that same year in the seventh month.
这样, 在当年七月, 哈拿尼雅先知就死了.

Jeremiah - Chapter 29

29:1 And these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remainder of the exiles, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had deported from Jerusalem to Babylon,
以下这一封信, 是耶利米先知从耶路撒冷寄给被掳的祭司,先知和众民, 以及尚存的长老, 就是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去的.

29:2 after the going out of Jeconiah the king, and the queen mother, and the court officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, and the artisans, and the smiths from Jerusalem,
这是在耶哥尼雅王,太后,宫中的臣宰,犹大和耶路撒冷的领袖,工匠和铁匠从耶路撒冷被掳走以后.

29:3 by the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah, the king of Judah, sent to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, to Babylon, saying,
这封信是由沙番的儿子以利亚萨和希勒家的儿子基玛利带去的; 他们是犹大王西底家差往巴比伦, 去见巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的. 信上说:

29:4 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have deported from Jerusalem to Babylon,
“万军之耶和华以色列的神对所有被掳的, 就是耶和华(“耶和华”原文作“我”)把他们从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去的人, 这样说:

29:5 ‘Build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.
‘你们要建造房屋, 定居下来; 要栽种园子, 吃园中的果子.

29:6 Take wives and father sons and daughters, and take for your sons wives, and give your daughters to men that they may bear sons and daughters, and multiply there, and you must not be few.
你们要娶妻, 生养儿女; 要为你们的儿子娶媳妇, 把你们的女儿出嫁, 好让他们也生养儿女. 你们要在那里增多, 不可减少.

29:7 And seek the prosperity of the city where I have deported you, and pray on behalf of it to Yahweh, for in its prosperity you will have prosperity.’
我把你们掳到的那城, 你们要为她求平安, 为她向耶和华祈祷; 因为她得平安, 你们也得平安. ’

29:8 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Do not let your prophets who are in your midst, and your diviners, deceive you, and you must not listen to your dreams that you are causing them to dream.
“万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘不要被你们中间的先知和作占卜的欺骗, 也不要听信自己所作的梦(“自己所作的梦”原文作“你们的梦, 就是你们所促使作的梦”, 有古本作“他们所作的梦”).

29:9 For they are prophesying falsely to you in my name; I have not sent them,’ declares Yahweh.
因为他们冒我名对你们说虚假的预言, 我并没有差派他们. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

29:10 For thus says Yahweh, ‘As soon as the time has passed, seventy years for Babylon, I will attend to you, and I will fulfill my good word to you, to bring you back to this place.
“耶和华这样说: ‘为巴比伦所定的七十年满了以后, 我必眷顾你们, 向你们实行我满有恩惠的诺言, 把你们带回这地方来.

29:11 For I know the plans that I am planning concerning you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘plans for prosperity and not for harm, to give to you a future and a hope.
因我自己知道我为你们所定的计划, 是使你们得平安, 而不是遭受灾祸的计划; 要赐给你们美好的前程和盼望. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

29:12 Then when you call me, and you come and pray to me, then I will listen to you.
‘你们要呼求我, 要来向我祷告, 我就必应允你们.

29:13 When you search for me, then you will find me, if you seek me with all your heart.
你们要寻找我, 只要一心寻求, 就必寻见.

29:14 And I will let myself be found by you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will restore your fortunes, and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places to which I have driven you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from which I deported you.’
我必给你们寻见(这是耶和华的宣告); 我必使你们被掳的归回, 从我赶逐你们去的各国各地, 把你们集合起来, 带回我掳你们离开的地方去. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

29:15 Because you have said, ‘Yahweh has raised up prophets for us in Babylon’—
“你们既然说: ‘耶和华在巴比伦为我们兴起了先知’,

29:16 for thus says Yahweh concerning the king who sits on the throne of David and concerning all the people who live in this city, your fellow kinsmen who did not go with you into the exile—
所以耶和华论到那坐大卫王位的君王和住在这城里的众民, 就是没有和你们一同被掳去的众兄弟, 这样说:

29:17 thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘Look, I am going to send among them the sword, the famine, and the plague, and I will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten because of their bad quality.
‘万军之耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我必打发刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫临到他们; 我必使他们像腐烂的无花果, 坏到不能吃.

29:18 And I will pursue them with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague, and I will make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and a horror, and an object of hissing, and a disgrace among all the nations to which I have driven them,
我必用刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫追赶他们, 使他们成为地上万国所惊惧的, 在我赶逐他们到的各国中, 成为令人惊骇,被人咒骂,嗤笑,羞辱的对象.

29:19 because they did not listen to my words,’ declares Yahweh, ‘when I sent to them my servants the prophets, sending over and over again, and they would not listen,’ declares Yahweh.
因为他们不听从我的话(这是耶和华的宣告), 就是我不断差遣到他们那里去, 我的仆人众先知所说的话; 同样, 你们也没有听从. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

29:20 And you, hear the word of Yahweh, all you exiles whom I sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
“你们这所有被掳去的, 就是我从耶路撒冷赶逐到巴比伦去的, 要听耶和华的话.

29:21 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you in my name a lie, ‘Look, I am going to give them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will strike them before your eyes.
“万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘论到冒我的名向你们说虚假预言的哥赖雅的儿子亚哈和玛西雅的儿子西底家, 我要把他们交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中, 他要在你们眼前击杀他们.

29:22 And a curse will be taken up because of them by all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, “May Yahweh make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,”
所有被掳到巴比伦的犹大人, 都要因他们的遭遇这样咒诅人, 说: “愿耶和华使你像巴比伦王用火烧死的西底家和亚哈一样. ”

29:23 because they have done a disgraceful thing in Israel, and they have committed adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and they have spoken words in my name, lies that I have not commanded them, and I am he who knows, and I am a witness,’ declares Yahweh.”
因为他们二人在以色列中行了无耻的事, 他们和邻舍的妻子通奸, 又冒我的名说虚假的话, 是我没有吩咐他们说的. 我知道一切, 也可以作证. ’这是耶和华的宣告. ”

29:24 And to Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall say, saying,
耶和华吩咐耶利米说: “你要对尼希兰人示玛雅说:

29:25 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Because you yourself sent a letter in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
‘万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 你曾用自己的名寄信给在耶路撒冷的众民,玛西雅祭司的儿子西番雅, 和众祭司, 说:

29:26 “Yahweh made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, so that there are overseers in the house of Yahweh over any mad man who exhibits the behavior of a prophet, and you must put him into the stocks and into the neck iron,
耶和华已经立了你西番雅为祭司, 代替耶何耶大, 作耶和华殿中的总管, 你就应把所有妄自说预言的人, 都带上脚镣枷锁.

29:27 and so then why have you not rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite who exhibits the behavior of a prophet for you?
现在, 亚拿突人耶利米向你们说预言, 你为什么不斥责他呢?

29:28 Because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, ‘It will be a long time, build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.’ ” ’ ”
因为他寄信给我们在巴比伦的人说: 被掳的时期必会长久, 所以你们要建造房屋, 定居下来, 也要栽植园子, 吃园中的果子. ’”

29:29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
(西番雅祭司却把这封信念给耶利米先知听. )

29:30 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话又临到耶利米, 说:

29:31 “Send to all the exiles, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah prophesied to you, though I have not sent him, and he has made you trust in a lie,”
“你要寄信给所有被掳的人, 说: ‘论到尼希兰人示玛雅, 耶和华这样说: 因为示玛雅向你们说预言, 我并没有差遣他, 他竟使你们信靠谎言.

29:32 therefore thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am going to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. There will not be for him a man who lives in the midst of this people, and he will not see the good that I am going to do to my people,” declares Yahweh, “For he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh.” ’ ”
所以耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我必惩罚尼希兰人示玛雅和他的后代; 他必不会有子孙住在这人民中间, 也必不能看见我要为我的子民所作的美事, 因为他说了悖逆耶和华的话. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 30

30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华有话临到耶利米, 说:

30:2 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll.
“耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你要把我对你说过的一切话都写在书上.

30:3 For look, days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah,’ says Yahweh, ‘and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestors and they will take possession of it.’ ”
看哪! 日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告), 我必使我的子民以色列和犹大被掳的人归回. ’耶和华说: ‘我必使他们回到我赐给他们列祖之地, 他们要重得这地为业. ’”

30:4 Now these are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话:

30:5 “For thus says Yahweh: ‘We have heard a sound of trembling, terror, and there is no peace.
“耶和华这样说: ‘我听见了战栗喊叫的声音, 一片恐慌, 没有平安.

30:6 Ask please and see whether a male can bear a child. Why do I see every strong man with his hands on his loins like a woman giving birth? And why are all their faces changed to paleness?
你们去问问, 去看看: 男人会生孩子吗? 为什么我看见所有的壮汉, 都用手抱着腹部, 像正在生产的妇人, 每张脸都变成苍白呢?

30:7 Alas! For that day is great, there is none like it. And it is a time of distress for Jacob, yet from it he will be delivered.
哀哉! 那日大而可畏, 无可比拟; 这是雅各受苦的时期, 但他必被救出来. ’”

30:8 And it will happen on that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘I will break his yoke from your neck and your bonds I will tear to pieces. And strangers will no longer let him work as a slave.
“万军之耶和华宣告说: ‘当那日, 我必从他们(“他们”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“你”; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译)的颈项上折断仇敌的轭, 扯断他们(“他们”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“你”; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译)的绳套; 他们必不再作外族人的奴隶.

30:9 But they will serve Yahweh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
他们却要事奉耶和华他们的神, 和我为他们兴起的大卫王.

30:10 But you must not fear, my servant Jacob,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and you must not be dismayed, Israel, for look, I am going to save you from far, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return, and he will be at rest, and he will be at ease, and there will be no one who makes him afraid.
所以, 我的仆人雅各啊! 你不要惧怕. ’这是耶和华的宣告. ’以色列啊! 你不要惊慌. 因为我必拯救你从远方回来, 必拯救你的后裔脱离他们被掳之地. 雅各必归回, 得享平静安逸, 没有人可以使他害怕.

30:11 For I am with you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to save you. For I will make a complete destruction of all the nations to which I scattered you, but you I will not make a complete destruction. And I will chastise you to the measure, and I will not leave you entirely unpunished.’
因为我与你同在, 要拯救你; 我要消灭我赶散你去的列国, 却必不消灭你. 我要按公正惩治你, 决不能免你受罚. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

30:12 For thus says Yahweh, ‘Your injury is incurable, your wound is overcome by sickness.
“耶和华这样说: ‘你的损伤无法痊愈, 你的创伤不能医治.

30:13 There is no one who pleads your cause, for your boil there is no healing for you.
没有人为你申诉, 你的伤处无药可救, 你不得医治.

30:14 All your lovers have forgotten you, they do not care for you. I have struck you with the blow of an enemy, the punishment of the cruel, because of the greatness of your guilt, your sins are numerous.
你所有的盟友都忘记了你, 不再关心你; 我击打了你, 好像仇敌击打你, 又好像残暴的人惩罚你一样; 都因你的罪孽甚多, 你的罪恶无数.

30:15 Why do you cry because of your wound? Your pain is incurable. Because of the greatness of your guilt—your sins are vast— I have done these things to you.
你为什么因你的损伤哀叫呢? 你的病痛无法痊愈. 我这样对你, 是因你的罪孽甚多, 你的罪恶无数.

30:16 Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured, and all your foes, all of them will go into captivity, and those who plunder you will be as plunder, and all those who plunder you I will make as plunder.
但是, 吞吃你的, 必被吞吃; 你所有的敌人全都要被掳走; 抢掠你的, 必成为被抢掠之物; 掠夺你的, 我必使他们成为被掠夺之物.

30:17 For I will present healing to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying, “It is Zion, there is no one who cares for her.” ’
虽然人都说你是被放逐的, 是没有人关心的锡安; 我却必使你康复, 医治你的创伤. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

30:18 Thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob, and I will have compassion on his dwellings, and the city will be rebuilt upon its mound, and the citadel fortress will stand on its rightful site.
“耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我必复兴雅各的帐棚, 也必怜悯他的居所; 城市必在废墟上重建, 堡垒必立在原来的地点上.

30:19 And thanksgiving and the sound of merrymakers will come out from them, and I will make them numerous, and they will not be few. And I will make them honored, and they will not be lowly.
必有感谢的歌声, 和欢笑的声音从其中发出来. 我必使他们人数增多, 不会减少; 我必使他们得尊荣, 不再被人轻看.

30:20 And their children will be as of old, and their community will be established before me. And I will punish all their oppressors.
他们的子孙必像以前一样蒙恩, 他们的国家必在我面前坚立; 我必惩罚所有压迫他们的人.

30:21 And their noble will be from them, and their ruler will come out from their midst. And I will bring him near and he will approach me. For who is he that would pledge his heart to approach me?’ declares Yahweh.
他们的元首必是他们自己的人, 他们的统治者必出自他们中间; 我必使他近前来, 他也必亲近我, 不然, 谁敢冒生命的危险来亲近我呢? ’这是耶和华的宣告.

30:22 ‘And you will be to me a people, and I will be to you God.’ ”
‘你们要作我的子民, 我要作你们的神. ’”

30:23 Look, the storm of Yahweh! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest. It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.
看哪! 耶和华的旋风, 在震怒中发出, 是横扫的狂风, 必卷到恶人的头上.

30:24 The burning anger of Yahweh will not turn back until his doing, and until his accomplishing the plans of his mind. In the last of the days you will understand it.
耶和华的烈怒必不转消, 直到他作成和实现他心中的计划. 在末后的日子, 你们就会明白这事.

31:8 Look, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and I will gather them from the remotest part of the earth. Among them the blind, and the lame, those who are pregnant, and those who give birth, together, a great assembly, they will return here.
看哪! 我必把他们从北方之地领回来, 把他们从地极招集起来; 在他们中间有瞎眼的,瘸腿的,孕妇,产妇, 都在一起; 他们成群结队返回这里.

31:9 With weeping they will come, and with pleas for mercy I will bring them; I will let them walk by streams of water in a straight path. They will not stumble in it, for I have become to Israel a father, and Ephraim, he is my firstborn.”
我引导他们的时候, 他们必哭着而来, 并且向我乞恩恳求. 我要使他们走在溪水旁, 行在平直的路上, 他们必不会绊跌; 因为我是以色列的父亲, 以法莲是我的长子.

31:10 Hear the word of Yahweh, O nations, and declare in the coastlands from afar, and say, “The scatterer of Israel will gather him, and he will keep him as a shepherd his flock.
“列国啊! 你们要听耶和华的话, 要在远方的海岛传扬, 说: ‘那赶散以色列的神, 必再招集他们; 必看守他们, 像牧人看守自己的羊群一样. ’

And their life will become like a well-watered garden, and they will never languish again.”

“你的前途必有希望; 你的儿女必返回自己的地方. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

31:18 Indeed I heard Ephraim pitying themselves, ‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined, like a calf that is not trained. Bring me back and let me return, for you are Yahweh my God.
“我清楚听见以法莲为自己哀叹, 说: ‘你管教了我, 我像一头不驯服的牛犊受管教; 求你使我回转, 我就得以回转, 因为你是耶和华我的神.

31:19 For after my turning back I repented, and after coming to understand I struck my thigh. I was ashamed and also humiliated, because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
我回转以后, 就深深悔悟; 我醒觉以后, 就拍腿悔恨. 因为我承受年幼时的耻辱, 我感到羞耻和惭愧. ’

31:20 Is Ephraim my dear son, or the child of my delight? For as often as I have earnestly spoken against him, I still remember him. Therefore my bowels are turbulent for him, surely I will have compassion on him,” declares Yahweh.
以法莲是我亲爱的儿子吗? 是我喜悦的孩子吗? 每逢我说话攻击他, 我必再次记念他. 因此, 我的心恋慕他; 我必定怜悯他. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

31:21 “Set up for yourself road markers, make for yourself signposts, set your mind to the main road, the road by which you went. Return, O virgin of Israel, return to these your cities.
你要为自己设立路标, 竖立路牌; 你要留心大路, 就是你走过的路. 童女以色列啊, 回转吧! 回到你这些城市那里.

31:22 How long will you waver, O unfaithful daughter? For Yahweh has created a new thing on the earth, a woman, she shelters a man.”
转离正道的女儿哪, 你转来转去要到几时呢? 因为耶和华在地上创造了一件新事, 就是女的要环绕男的.

31:23 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “They will again say these words in the land of Judah and in its towns at my restoring their fortunes, ‘Yahweh bless you, O settlement of righteousness, O hill of holiness.’
万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: “我使被掳的人归回的时候, 他们在犹大地, 在犹大的城镇里, 必再说这样的话: ‘公义的居所啊, 圣山哪, 愿耶和华赐福给你! ’

31:24 And Judah and all of its towns together will live in it, farmers and those who travel with the flocks.
犹大各城的人,耕地的和领着群畜游牧的, 都要一起住在犹大.

31:25 For I will saturate the thirst of the weary, and every person who languishes I will replenish.”
疲倦的人, 我必使他振作; 愁苦的人, 我必使他满足. ”

31:26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
这时, 我醒过来, 四周观看; 我睡得很香甜.

31:27 “Look, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of humankind, and with the seed of animals.
“看哪! 日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告), 我必使以色列家和犹大家人口和牲畜繁殖.

31:28 And then as I have watched over them to pull up, and to tear down, and to annihilate, and to destroy, and to do evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares Yahweh.
我先前怎样留意把他们拔出,拆毁,倾覆,毁灭和降灾; 将来我也必照样留意把他们建立和栽种起来. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

31:29 “In those days they will say no longer, ‘Parents have eaten unripe fruit, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
“在那些日子, 人必不再说: ‘父亲吃了酸葡萄, 儿子的牙齿酸倒了. ’

31:30 But each will die because of his iniquity, everyone who eats the unripe fruit, their teeth will be set on edge.
因为各人必因自己的罪孽死亡; 吃酸葡萄的, 那人的牙齿必酸倒.

31:31 Look, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
“看哪! 日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告), 我要与以色列家和犹大家订立新的约.

31:32 not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day of my grasping them by their hand, bringing them out from the land of Egypt, my covenant that they themselves broke, though I myself was a master over them,” declares Yahweh.
这新约不像从前我拉他们祖先的手, 领他们出埃及地的日子, 与他们所立的约; 我虽然是他们的丈夫, 他们却违背了我的约. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

31:33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts and on their hearts I will write it, and I will be to them God, and they themselves will be to me people.
“但那些日子以后, 我要与以色列家所立的约是这样(这是耶和华的宣告): 我要把我的律法放在他们里面, 写在他们的心里. 我要作他们的神, 他们要作我的子民.

31:34 And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor, or each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for all of them will know me, from their smallest and up to their greatest,” declares Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember.”
他们各人必不再教导自己的邻舍和自己的同胞, 说: ‘你们要认识耶和华. ’因为所有的人, 从最小到最大的都必认识我. 我也要赦免他们的罪孽, 不再记着他们的罪恶. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

31:35 Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for light by day, the regulations of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name.
那使太阳白昼发光, 派定月亮和星辰照耀黑夜, 又搅动海洋, 使海浪澎湃的, 万军之耶和华是他的名, 他这样说:

31:36 “If these rules would cease from before me,” declares Yahweh, “also the offspring of Israel would cease from being a nation before me forever.”
“这些定律若能从我面前废掉, 以色列的后裔也就会在我面前断绝, 永远不再成为一个国家. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

31:37 Thus says Yahweh, “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, also I will reject all the offspring of Israel because of all that they have done,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华这样说: “人若能量度在上的诸天, 测透地下面的根基, 我也就会因以色列后裔所作的一切, 弃绝他们众人. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

31:38 “Look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and the city will be rebuilt for Yahweh, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
“看哪! 日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告), 这城从哈楠业城楼直到角门, 必为耶和华重建起来.

31:39 And the measuring line will still go out immediately in front of it to the hill of Gareb, and it will turn to Goah.
量度的准绳还要往外量, 直到迦立山, 绕到歌亚.

31:40 And the whole of the valley of the corpses, and the ashes, and all the cultivated fields up to the wadi of Kidron, up to the corner of the Gate of the Horses toward the east will be holy to Yahweh. It will not be uprooted, and it will not be overthrown again forever.”
拋尸和倒灰的整个山谷, 以及从汲沦溪直到东边马门拐角一带所有的墓地, 都必归耶和华为圣, 永远不再拔出, 不再倾覆. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 32

32:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah the king of Judah, that was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
犹大王西底家第十年, 就是尼布甲尼撒第十八年, 从耶和华那里有话临到耶利米.

32:2 Now at that time the army of the king of Babylon was laying siege to Jerusalem and Jeremiah the prophet was confined in the courtyard of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah,
那时, 巴比伦王的军队正在围困耶路撒冷, 耶利米先知被囚禁在犹大王宫中卫兵的院子里.

32:3 where Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am going to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it,
因为犹大王西底家把他囚禁起来, 说: “你为什么预言: ‘耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我必把这城交在巴比伦王的手中, 他必攻取这城;

32:4 and Zedekiah, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but surely he will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will speak face to face with him and he will see him eye to eye,
犹大王西底家必不能逃脱迦勒底人的手, 他必交在巴比伦王的手中; 他们必面对面彼此说话, 眼对眼互相对看.

32:5 and to Babylon he will bring Zedekiah, and there he will be until my attending to him,” declares Yahweh. “If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not be successful” ’?”
巴比伦王必把西底家带到巴比伦去; 西底家必留在那里, 直到我眷顾他的时候(这是耶和华的宣告). 即使你们和迦勒底人作战, 你们必不能战胜’? ”

32:6 And Jeremiah said, “The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶利米说: “耶和华的话临到我, 说:

32:7 ‘Look, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your uncle, is going to come to you, saying, “Buy for yourself my field that is at Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.” ’
‘看哪! 你叔叔沙龙的儿子哈拿篾必来见你, 说: 请你买下我在亚拿突的那块田地, 因为你有近亲的权利和义务去买那田地. ’

32:8 Then Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the courtyard of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and he said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is at Anathoth, that is in the land of Benjamin, for to you is the claim of possession, and to you the redemption; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.
我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾果然照着耶和华的话, 到卫兵的院子里来见我, 对我说: ‘请你买下我在便雅悯境内亚拿突的那块田地, 因为你有那产业的继承权, 以及近亲的权利和义务; 请你把它买下吧. ’于是我知道这是耶和华的话.

32:9 And I bought the field from Hanamel, the son of my uncle, that was at Anathoth. And I weighed out to him the money, seventeen silver shekels.
我就向我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾, 买下了在亚拿突的那块田地, 称了一百九十三克银子给他.

32:10 And I signed on the letter and sealed it, and I called witnesses as witness, and I weighed out the money on a set of scales.
“我在契约上签了名, 把契封好了, 又请了证人作证, 就用天平把银子称给他.

32:11 Then I took the deed of the purchase, the sealed copy containing the commandments and the rules, together with the one that was open.
然后我取了买卖契约, 一份是封好的, 一份是没有加封的, 上面都有各种细则和条件.

32:12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, in the presence of the Judeans who were sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
当着我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾眼前, 当着那些在买卖契约上签名作证的人眼前, 以及当着所有坐在卫兵院子里的犹大人眼前, 我把买卖契约交给了玛西雅的孙子,尼利亚的儿子巴录.

32:13 And I commanded Baruch in their presence, saying,
我当着这些人眼前吩咐巴录说:

32:14 ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, the sealed one, and this opened deed, and you must put them in an earthenware jar so that they may be kept preserved many days.”
‘万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 你要拿这两份买卖契约, 就是那封好的和没有加封的, 放在一个瓦器里, 使它们可以长久保存.

32:15 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Houses and fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.” ’
因为万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 将来在这地必再有人买房屋,田地和葡萄园. ’

32:16 And I prayed to Yahweh—after giving my deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah—saying,
“我把买卖契约交给尼利亚的儿子巴录以后, 就向耶和华祷告, 说:

32:17 ‘Ah Lord Yahweh! Look, you made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you,
‘主耶和华啊! 你看, 你曾用大能和伸出来的膀臂创造了天地; 在你并没有难成的事.

32:18 showing loyal love to the thousands, and repaying the guilt of parents into the laps of their children after them. Powerful, great, mighty, his name is Yahweh of hosts,
你向千万人施慈爱, 又把父亲的罪孽都报应在他们的儿女身上. 你是伟大,有能力的神, 万军之耶和华是你(“你”原文作“他”)的名.

32:19 great in counsel and great in deed, whose eyes are opened to all the ways of the children of humankind, to give to each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds,
你的计划伟大, 你的作为满有能力; 你的眼睛睁开, 察看世人一切所行的, 要照着各人的行为, 和各人所作的事应得的结果来报应各人.

32:20 who accomplished signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, up to this day, and in Israel, and among humankind, and you have made for yourself a name, as it is this day.
你曾在埃及地行神迹奇事, 你在以色列和全人类中间直到今日也是这样, 使你自己得了名声, 好像今日一样.

32:21 And you brought out your people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an arm stretched out, and with great terror.
你曾用神迹奇事,有力的手,伸出来的膀臂, 和大而可畏的事, 把你的子民以色列从埃及地领出来.

32:22 And you gave to them this land, which you swore to their ancestors to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
你把这地赐给他们, 就是你向他们列祖起誓, 要赐给他们的流奶与蜜之地.

32:23 And they entered and took possession of it, but they did not listen to your voice, and they did not follow your law. They did nothing of all that you commanded to them to do, and you caused to happen to them all this disaster.
他们进去, 得到这地为业, 却不听从你的话, 也不遵行你的律法; 你吩咐他们行的一切事, 他们都没有行, 因此你使这一切灾祸临到他们身上.

32:24 Look, the siege ramps have come up to the city to capture it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, the famine, and the plague, and what you spoke happened, and look, you are seeing it.
看哪! 敌人已经迫近, 筑垒攻取这城. 这城要因刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫的缘故, 交在攻击他们的迦勒底人手中; 你所说的都实现了, 你也亲眼看见了.

32:25 Yet you have said to me, Lord Yahweh, “Buy for yourself the field with the money, and call witnesses as witness,” though the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ ”
但主耶和华啊! 是你对我说: “你要用银子买下那块田地, 请证人作证. ”其实这城已经交在迦勒底人的手中了. ’”

32:26 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米, 说:

32:27 “Look, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for me?”
“看哪! 我是耶和华, 是全人类的神; 在我有难成的事吗?

32:28 Therefore thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am going to give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
因此耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我必把这城交在迦勒底人的手中, 交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中, 他必攻取这城.

32:29 And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and they will burn it, and the houses where they have made smoke offerings on their roofs to Baal, and where they have devoted libations to other gods, in order to provoke me to anger.
攻打这城的迦勒底人必进来, 放火烧城, 城中的房屋都必烧光, 因为这城的居民曾在那些房屋的屋顶上向巴力烧香, 向别神浇奠祭, 惹我发怒.

32:30 For the people of Israel and the people of Judah were doing only evil in my eyes from their youth, for the people of Israel were only provoking me to anger by the work of their hands,” declares Yahweh.
事实上, 以色列人和犹大人自幼以来, 就专行我眼中看为恶的事; 以色列人的手所作的, 无不惹我发怒. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

32:31 “For this city has been for me a cause of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even until this day, so I will remove it from my sight,
‘因为这城自从建造的那天, 直到今日, 都不断惹起我的怒气和烈怒, 以致我要把她从我面前除掉.

32:32 because of all the evil of the people of Israel and the people of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
这是因为以色列人和犹大人的一切恶行, 就是他们和他们的君王,领袖,祭司,先知, 以及犹大每一个人和耶路撒冷居民所行的, 都惹我发怒.

32:33 And they have turned to me their backs and not their faces, though I have taught them over and over again, but they were not listening to accept discipline.
他们以背向我, 不以脸向我; 我不断教导他们, 他们却不肯听从, 不接受管教;

32:34 And they set up their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it.
竟把他们可憎的偶像安放在称为我名下的殿中, 污秽了这殿.

32:35 And they built the high places of Baal that are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to present as offerings their sons and their daughters to Molech, which I had not commanded them, and it had not come to my mind to do this detestable thing in order to cause Judah to sin.”
他们在欣嫩子谷中, 建造了巴力的邱坛, 使自己的儿女经火献给摩洛. 这不是我吩咐的, 也没有在我心里想过; 他们竟行了这可憎恶的事, 使犹大犯罪. ’

32:36 “So now therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you are saying, ‘It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the plague’:
“论到这城, 就是你们说: ‘因为刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫的缘故, 交在巴比伦王手中的’, 现在耶和华以色列的神却这样说:

32:37 Look, I am going to gather them from all the lands to which I driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath, and I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety.
‘看哪! 我曾在怒气,烈怒和大忿怒中, 把以色列人赶逐到各地, 将来我必从那里把他们招聚出来, 领他们回到这地方, 使他们安然居住.

32:38 And they will be for me a people, and I will be for them God.
他们必作我的子民, 我也必作他们的神.

32:39 And I will give to them one heart and one way, to revere me forever, for good to them, and to their children after them.
我要使他们有同一的心志和同一的行为, 终生敬畏我, 使他们和他们的子孙都得到福乐.

32:40 And I will make with them an everlasting covenant that I will not turn away from them, my doing good to them, and my reverence I will put in their hearts so that they will not turn aside from me.
我要和他们立永远的约, 我必不离开他们, 必使他们得到福乐; 我也必把敬畏我的心赐给他们, 使他们不会离开我.

32:41 And I will rejoice over them to do good to them, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness with all my heart, and with all my inner self.”
我必喜欢他们, 使他们得到福乐; 我必全心全意,真诚地把他们栽种在这地上. ’

32:42 “For thus says Yahweh, ‘Just as I have brought to this people all this great disaster, so I will bring upon them all the good that I promise to them.
“因为耶和华这样说: ‘我怎样使这一切大灾祸临到这人民, 我也必照样使我应许他们的福乐临到他们.

32:43 And the fields will be bought in this land of which you are saying, “It is a desolation, without humankind or animals. It has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
你们说: “这地荒凉, 没有人烟, 也没有牲畜, 是交在迦勒底人手中的. ”但将来在这地上, 必有人买卖田地.

32:44 They will buy fields with money, and they will sign the deeds, and they will seal them, and they will call witnesses as witness in the land of Benjamin, and in the surroundings of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negev, for I will restore their fortunes,’ declares Yahweh.”
在便雅悯地, 在耶路撒冷周围的各处, 在犹大各城, 以及在山地,高地和南地的各城, 人必用银子买卖田地, 在地契上签名, 把契封好, 又请证人作证; 因为我必使他们被掳的人归回. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 33

33:1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time while he was still held back in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
耶利米还监禁在卫兵院子里的时候, 耶和华的话第二次临到他, 说:

33:2 “Thus says Yahweh who made the earth, Yahweh who formed it to establish it, Yahweh is his name:
“那创造,塑造和坚定大地的是耶和华, 耶和华是他的名. 他这样说:

33:3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great things and inaccessible things that you have not known.’
‘你呼求我, 我就应允你, 并且把你所不知道的那些伟大奥秘的事告诉你. ’

33:4 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that were torn down to make a defense against the siege ramps and against the sword:
论到这城里的房屋和犹大王的宫殿, 就是为了抵挡敌人的攻城土垒和刀剑而拆毁的, 耶和华以色列的神这样说:

33:5 ‘They are coming to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the corpses of the people whom I will strike in my anger and in my wrath, for whom I have hidden my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
‘这城的居民出去和迦勒底人争战, 就必使这些房屋充满死尸, 就是我在怒气和烈怒中击杀的. 因为他们的一切恶行, 我掩面不顾这城.

33:6 Look, I am going to bring healing and health to it, and I will heal them, and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and reliability.
看哪! 我必使这城的伤口痊愈康复, 我必医治城中的居民, 并且使他们享有十分的平安和稳妥.

33:7 And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and I will rebuild them as in the beginning.
我必使犹大被掳的和以色列被掳的都归回, 并且建立他们像起初一样.

33:8 And I will cleanse them from all their guilt that they sinned against me, and I will forgive all their iniquities that they sinned against me, and that they rebelled against me.
我必洁净他们得罪我的一切罪孽, 并且赦免他们得罪我和悖逆我的一切罪孽.

33:9 And it will be to me a name of jubilation, a praise, and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I will do for them, and they will fear, and they will tremble because of all the good, and because of all the prosperity that I will provide for it.’
这城必在地上万国面前使我得名声, 得喜乐(“得名声, 得喜乐”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“得喜乐的名声”; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译), 得颂赞, 得荣耀, 因为万国必听见我向这城的人所施的一切福乐. 他们因我向这城所施的一切福乐和平安, 就都恐惧战兢. ’

33:10 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Again will be heard in this place, of which you are saying, “It is a waste, without people and without animals,” in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without people and without inhabitants and without animals,
“耶和华这样说: ‘论到这地方, 你们说: “这地荒废, 没有人烟, 也没有牲畜. ”但在这荒凉,没有人烟,没有居民,也没有牲畜的犹大各城和耶路撒冷的街上, 必再听见

33:11 the voice of jubilation, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, “Praise Yahweh of hosts, for Yahweh is good, for his loyal love is forever,” the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of Yahweh, for I will restore the fortunes of the land as in the beginning,’ says Yahweh.
欢喜和快乐的声音, 新郎和新妇的声音; 还要听见那些带着感恩祭到耶和华殿的人的声音说: “你们要称谢万军之耶和华, 因为耶和华是至善的, 他的慈爱永远长存. ”因为我必使这地被掳的归回, 像起初一样. ’”这是耶和华说的.

33:12 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Again there will be in this waste place, without people and animals, and in all its towns, pasture for shepherds allowing their flock to lie down.
“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘在这荒废,没有人烟,没有牲畜的地方, 和这地所有城中, 必再有牧人放羊的牧场.

33:13 In the towns of the hill country, in the towns of the Shephelah, and in the towns of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the surroundings of Jerusalem, and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hands of the counter,’ says Yahweh.
在山地,高地和南地的各城, 在便雅悯地, 在耶路撒冷周围的各处, 以及在犹大的各城里, 必再有牧人数点经过手下的羊群. ’”这是耶和华说的.

33:14 ‘Look, days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will fulfill the good promise that I promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
“看哪! 日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告), 我必实践我向以色列家和犹大家应许赐福的诺言.

33:15 In those days and in that time I will make a branch of righteousness sprout for David, and he will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
在那些日子,那时候, 我必使大卫公义的苗裔长起来; 他必在地上施行公正和公义.

33:16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely, and this is what they shall call it: “Yahweh is our righteousness.” ’
在那些日子, 犹大必得救, 耶路撒冷必安然居住; 这城必被称为‘耶和华是我们的公义’.

33:17 For thus says Yahweh: ‘A man who sits on the throne of the house of Israel will not be cut off for David.
因为耶和华这样说: ‘大卫家必不断有人坐在以色列家的王位上.

33:18 And for the priests, a man from the Levites who offers burnt offerings and who burns grain offerings and who brings sacrifices will not be cut off before me forever.’ ”
利未人的祭司也必不断有人在我面前献上燔祭和烧素祭; 献祭的事永不止息. ’”

33:19 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华说的话临到耶利米, 说:

33:20 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘If you could break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, so that day and night would not come at their time,
“耶和华这样说: ‘你们若能废掉我所立白昼和黑夜的约, 使白昼和黑夜不按时更替,

33:21 then my covenant could be broken with David my servant, from having a son who could rule on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers.
就能废掉我和我仆人大卫所立的约, 使他没有儿子在他的王位上作王; 也能废掉我和那些事奉我的利未支派的祭司所立的约.

33:22 As the host of heaven cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will make numerous the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’ ”
我却必使我仆人大卫的后裔和事奉我的利未人增多, 像天上的万象不能数算,海边的沙粒不能斗量. ’”

33:23 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米, 说:

33:24 “Have you not seen how these people speak, saying, ‘The two clans whom Yahweh chose, he has also rejected them’? Thus they spurn my people from being a nation before them any longer.
“你没有留意列国的人民说什么吗? 他们说: ‘耶和华所拣选的这两个家族, 他已经弃绝了. ’他们藐视我的子民, 不再把他们看为一个国家.

33:25 Thus says Yahweh: ‘If my covenant with day and with night, the regulations of heaven and earth, I had not established,
耶和华这样说: ‘我若没有设立白昼和黑夜的约, 或立定天地的定律,

33:26 then the offspring of Jacob and David my servant I would reject, from choosing rulers from his offspring over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will restore their fortunes and I will have compassion on them.’ ”
我就会弃绝雅各的后裔, 和我仆人大卫的后裔, 不从大卫的后裔中选人出来统治亚伯拉罕,以撒和雅各的后裔. 我却必使他们被掳的人归回, 也必怜悯他们. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 34

34:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and all his army, with all the kingdoms of the earth under the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying,
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领他的全军, 以及他统治的地上各国各族, 攻打耶路撒冷和周围一切城镇的时候, 从耶和华那里有话临到耶利米, 说:

34:2 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Go and say to Zedekiah the king of Judah, now you must say to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, I am going to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
“耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你去告诉犹大王西底家说: 耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要把这城交在巴比伦王的手中, 他要用火烧城.

34:3 And you will not escape from his hand, but surely you will be captured, and into his hand you will be given, and you will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, and you will speak face to face with him, and to Babylon you will go.’
你必逃不出他的手, 必被拿住, 交在他的手中. 你必亲眼看见巴比伦王, 他必亲口和你说话; 你也必到巴比伦去. ’

34:4 However, hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah, the king of Judah. Thus says Yahweh concerning you: ‘You will not die by the sword.
但犹大王西底家啊, 你还要听耶和华的话! 耶和华论到你这样说: ‘你必不会死在刀下;

34:5 In peace you will die, and as there was burning for your ancestors, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn for you, and they will lament for you, “Alas, lord!” For the word I have spoken,’ declares Yahweh.” ’ ”
你必平平安安死去. 人怎样为你的列祖, 就是在你以前的君王, 焚烧香料, 也必照样为你焚烧香料; 人必为你哀悼, 说: “哀哉, 主上! ”’这话是我说的. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

34:6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem
于是耶利米先知在耶路撒冷把这一切话都告诉了犹大王西底家.

34:7 when the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left over—Lachish and Azekah, for these remained among the cities of Judah, the cities of fortification.
那时, 巴比伦王的军队正在攻打耶路撒冷和犹大剩下的城镇, 就是拉吉和亚西加, 因为在犹大的各城中, 只剩下这两座坚固的城了.

34:8 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after king Zedekiah made a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem to proclaim release to them,
西底家王和在耶路撒冷的众民立了约, 要向奴仆宣告自由. 人人都要释放自己的希伯来奴婢; 谁也不可使自己的一位犹大兄弟作奴仆. (这事以后, 从耶和华那里有话临到耶利米. )

34:9 to let go each one his male slave and each one his female slave, the Hebrew and the free Hebrew, so that no one among the Judeans should enslave his fellow countryman.
西底家王和在耶路撒冷的众民立了约, 要向奴仆宣告自由. 人人都要释放自己的希伯来奴婢; 谁也不可使自己的一位犹大兄弟作奴仆. (这事以后, 从耶和华那里有话临到耶利米. )

34:10 And all the officials and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant to let go each one his male slave and each one his female slave, not enslaving them again, and they obeyed and they let them go.
所有立了约的领袖和众民都同意释放各人自己的奴婢, 谁也不再使他们作奴仆. 他们都同意了, 并且把奴婢释放了.

34:11 But afterward they turned back and they brought back the male slaves and the female slaves whom they had let go free, and they subdued them as male slaves and female slaves.
但后来他们反悔, 把他们释放了的奴婢叫回来, 强迫他们再作奴婢.

34:12 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
于是耶和华有话临到耶利米, 说:

34:13 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘I made a covenant with your ancestors on the day of my bringing them out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves, saying,
“耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘我把你们的列祖从埃及地为奴之家领出来的那日子, 就和他们立了约, 说:

34:14 “At the end of seven years you must let go each one his fellow countryman, the Hebrew who has been sold to you and who has served you six years, and you must let him go free from you.” But your ancestors did not listen to me, and they did not incline their ears.
“一个希伯来兄弟卖了身给你, 服事了你六年, 到第七年, 你们各人就应释放他, 容他自由离去. ”但你们的列祖不听从我, 毫不在意.

34:15 And you turned back recently and you did right in my eyes, to proclaim release each one to his neighbor, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name.
现今你们悔改, 行我眼中看为正的事, 各人向自己的同胞宣告自由, 并且在称为我名下的殿中, 在我面前立了约.

34:16 But you turned back and you profaned my name when you brought back each one his male slave and each one his female slave, whom you had let go free according to their desire, and you subdued them to be to you as male slaves and as female slaves.’
你们却又反悔, 亵渎我的名; 各人把得了释放随意离去的奴婢叫回来, 强迫他们再作奴婢. ’

34:17 “Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘You have not listened to me to proclaim release each one to his fellow countryman and each one to his neighbor. Look, I am going to proclaim to you a release,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to the sword, to the plague, and to the famine, and I will make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
“所以, 耶和华这样说: ‘你们各人没有听从我, 向兄弟,同胞宣告自由; 看哪! 我现在向你们宣告自由, 容让你们遭受刀剑,瘟疫和饥荒, 使你们成为地上万国所惊惧的. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

34:18 And I will make the men who transgressed my covenant, who have not kept the words of the covenant that they made before me, like the calf which they cut in two and they passed between its parts—
‘我必把那些违犯我的约的人交出去; 他们没有履行在我面前和我立约的誓言, 就是他们把牛犊劈开两半, 并且从两半中间走过去时立下的.

34:19 the officials of Judah, and the officials of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf—
那些从牛犊两半中间走过去的人, 就是犹大的领袖,耶路撒冷的领袖,宫中的臣宰,祭司和这地的众民.

34:20 and I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of the seekers of their lives, and their dead bodies will become as food for the birds of the heavens and for the animals of the earth.
我必把他们交在他们仇敌的手中, 和那些寻索他们性命的人的手中; 他们的尸体必给空中的飞鸟和地上的走兽作食物.

34:21 And Zedekiah the king of Judah and his officials I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of the seekers of their lives, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, who retreated from you.
我也必把犹大王西底家和众领袖交在他们仇敌的手中, 和那些寻索他们性命的人的手中, 以及那些从你们面前暂时撤退的巴比伦王的军队的手中.

34:22 Look, I am going to command,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will bring them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and they will capture it, and they will burn it with fire, and the towns of Judah I will make a desolation without an inhabitant.’ ”
看哪! 我必下令, 使他们回到这城来; 他们必攻打,夺取这城, 用火焚烧; 我必使犹大的城镇都荒凉, 没有人居住. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 35

35:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬作王的日子, 耶和华有话临到耶利米, 说:

35:2 “Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them to the house of Yahweh into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.”
“你去见利甲族的人, 和他们交谈, 领他们进入耶和华殿里的一个房间, 给他们酒喝. ”

35:3 So I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole of the house of the Rechabites,
于是我把哈巴洗尼雅的孙子,雅利米雅的儿子雅撒尼亚, 以及他的兄弟,他的众子和利甲全族的人,

35:4 and I brought them to the house of Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was beside the chamber of the officials, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
都领进耶和华的殿里, 进了神人伊基大利的儿子哈难众子的房间; 这房间是在众领袖的房间旁边, 在沙龙的儿子守卫殿门的玛西雅的房间上面.

35:5 Then I set before the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine and cups, and I said to them, “Drink wine.”
然后我把盛满酒的酒壶和酒杯, 摆放在利甲族人的面前, 对他们说: “请喝酒! ”

35:6 But they answered, “We will not drink wine, for Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our ancestor, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall not drink wine, you or your children, forever.
但他们说: “我们不喝酒, 因为我们的祖先利甲的儿子约拿达曾吩咐我们说: ‘你们和你们的子孙永远都不可喝酒.

35:7 And you shall not build a house, and you shall not sow seed, and you shall not plant a vineyard, and it shall not be for you, but in tents you shall live all your days, so that you may live many days on the surface of the land where you are dwelling as aliens.’
你们也不可建造房屋, 不可撒种, 不可栽种或拥有葡萄园; 你们一生的日子只可住帐棚, 使你们在寄居的地上活得长久. ’

35:8 And we obeyed the voice of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our ancestor, in all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,
我们的祖先利甲的儿子约拿达吩咐我们的一切话, 我们都听从了; 我们和我们的妻子儿女, 终生都不喝酒,

35:9 and not to build houses for our living, and there is not vineyard, or field, or seed for us.
不建造房屋居住, 也没有葡萄园,田地和种子.

35:10 But we have lived in tents, and we have obeyed, and we have done all that Jehonadab, our ancestor, commanded us.
我们只住帐棚; 我们听从祖先约拿达吩咐我们的一切话, 并且照着去行.

35:11 But then at the coming up against the land of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, then we said, ‘Come and let us go to Jerusalem before the army of the Chaldeans, and before the army of the Arameans.’ That is why we are living in Jerusalem.”
但是, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上来攻打这地的时候, 我们就说: ‘来吧! 为了迦勒底和亚兰人的军队的缘故, 我们到耶路撒冷去. ’这样, 我们才住在耶路撒冷. ”

35:12 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米, 说:

35:13 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Go and say to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Can you not learn a lesson to listen to my words?” declares Yahweh.
“万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 你去对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说: ‘你们不接受管教, 不听我的话吗? ’这是耶和华的宣告.

35:14 “The words of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, that he commanded his descendants to not drink, have been carried out, and they have not drunk until this day, for they have obeyed the command of their ancestor. But I have spoken to you over and over again, and you have not listened to me.
‘利甲的儿子约拿达吩咐他的子孙不可喝酒的话, 他们已经实行了, 他们直到今日都不喝酒, 因为他们听从了他们祖先的吩咐. 至于我, 我不断告诫你们, 你们却不听从我.

35:15 And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, I have sent them over and over again, saying, ‘Turn back please each one from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and you must not go after other gods to serve them, so that you may live on the land that I gave to you and to your ancestors.’ But you did not incline your ear and you did not listen to me.
我不断差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去, 对你们说: 你们各人要悔改, 离开自己的恶道, 改正你们的行为, 不可随从事奉别神; 这样, 你们就可以住在我赐给你们和你们列祖的土地上. 只是你们毫不在意, 也没有听从我.

35:16 For the descendants of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have carried out the command of their ancestor that he commanded them, but this people did not listen to me.”
利甲的儿子约拿达的子孙实行了他们祖先吩咐他们的命令, 但这人民没有听从我. ’

35:17 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, “Look, I am going to bring to Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem every disaster that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken to them and they have not listened, and I have called to them and they have not answered.” ’ ”
因此, 耶和华万军的神,以色列的神这样说: ‘看哪! 我必使我对他们预告过的一切灾祸, 临到犹大人和耶路撒冷所有的居民, 因为我对他们说话, 他们却不听从; 我呼唤他们, 他们却不回应. ’”

35:18 But to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said, “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Because you have listened to the command of Jonadab your ancestor, and you have kept all his commands, and you have done all that he commanded you,’
耶利米对利甲族人说: “万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘因为你们听从了你们祖先约拿达的吩咐, 谨守他的一切命令, 又照着他吩咐你们的一切去行. ’

35:19 therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘A man will not be cut off for Jonadab, the son of Rechab, to stand before me always.’ ”
所以, 万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘利甲的儿子约拿达必永远不断有人在我面前侍立. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 36

36:1 And then in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年, 耶和华那里有这话临到耶利米, 说:

36:2 “Take for yourself a scroll and you must write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day that I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, and until this day.
“你取一卷书卷来, 在上面写下我在约西亚作王的时候开始, 直到今日, 对你所说论到以色列和犹大, 以及列国的一切话.

36:3 Perhaps when the house of Judah hears all the disasters that I am planning to do to them, then they may turn back each one from his evil way, and I will forgive their guilt and their sin.”
或者犹大家听见我想要降给他们的一切灾祸, 各人就回转, 离开自己的恶道, 我就赦免他们的罪孽和罪恶. ”

36:4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yahweh that he had spoken to him on a scroll.
于是耶利米把尼利亚的儿子巴录叫了来, 巴录就从耶利米口中, 把耶和华向耶利米所说的一切话, 都写在书卷上.

36:5 And Jeremiah instructed Baruch, saying, “I am held back, I am not able to enter the temple of Yahweh.
耶利米吩咐巴录说: “我被阻止, 不能进耶和华的殿里去.

36:6 So you must go and you shall read aloud from the scroll that you have written from my mouth the words of Yahweh in the hearing of the people in the temple of Yahweh on a day of fast, and also you shall read aloud in the hearing of all those of Judah who came from their towns.
所以你要进去, 趁禁食的日子, 在耶和华的殿里, 向众人宣读书卷上的话, 就是你从我口中所录下耶和华的话. 你要向从犹大各城来的人宣读.

36:7 Perhaps their plea will fall before Yahweh and each one will turn away from his evil way, for great is the anger and wrath that Yahweh pronounced against this people.”
也许他们会向耶和华恳求, 各人回转, 离开自己的恶道, 因为耶和华向这人民所说要发的怒气和烈怒是很大的. ”

36:8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did all that Jeremiah the prophet instructed him, to read aloud from the scroll the words of Yahweh in the temple of Yahweh.
尼利亚的儿子巴录就照着耶利米先知吩咐的一切去行, 在耶和华的殿里宣读书上耶和华的话.

36:9 And then in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第五年九月, 耶路撒冷的众民, 和所有从犹大各城来到耶路撒冷的人民, 都在耶和华面前宣告禁食.

36:10 Then Baruch read aloud from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the temple of Yahweh, in the chamber of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, the secretary, in the upper courtyard at the entrance of the New Gate of the temple of Yahweh in the hearing of all the people.
巴录就在耶和华的殿里, 向众民宣读书上耶利米的话. 那时他是在沙番的儿子书记基玛利雅的房间里, 这房间是在上院, 靠近耶和华殿里新门的入口.

36:11 When Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh from the scroll,
沙番的孙子基玛利雅的儿子米该亚, 听见了书上耶和华的一切话,

36:12 he went down to the house of the king, to the chamber of the secretary, and look, all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
就下到王宫, 进入书记的房间里; 所有领袖都在那里坐着, 他们是书记以利沙玛,示玛雅的儿子第莱雅,亚革波的儿子以利拿单,沙番的儿子基玛利雅,哈拿尼雅的儿子西底家和所有其余的领袖.

36:13 And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard at the reading aloud of Baruch from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
米该亚就把所听见的一切都告诉他们, 就是巴录向众人宣读那书的时候, 他所听见的.

36:14 Then all the officials sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “The scroll that you read aloud from in the hearing of the people, take it in your hand and come.” And Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and he came to them.
于是所有的领袖差派古示的曾孙,示利米雅的孙子,尼探雅的儿子犹底, 去见巴录, 说: “请你把向众人宣读的那书卷亲自拿来. ”尼利亚的儿子巴录就把书卷亲自带到他们那里.

36:15 And they said to him, “Sit please and read it aloud in our hearing.” So Baruch read aloud in their hearing.
他们对他说: “请坐下, 念给我们听. ”巴录就向他们宣读.

36:16 And then, the moment of their hearing all the words, they turned to one another in alarm and they said to Baruch, “We must certainly report all these words to the king!”
他们听见这一切话, 就惊惧起来, 面面相觑, 对巴录说: “我们必须把这一切话禀告王. ”

36:17 Then they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us please, how did you write all these words, from his mouth?”
他们向巴录说: “请告诉我们, 你怎样写下这一切话, 是耶利米亲口说的吗? ”

36:18 And Baruch said to them, “From his mouth. He dictated to me all these words and I was writing on the scroll with the ink.”
巴录对他们说: “这一切话是他亲口向我讲述的, 我就用墨写在书上. ”

36:19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and let not a man know where you are.”
众领袖对巴录说: “你和耶利米都要去躲藏起来; 不要给人知道你们在什么地方. ”

36:20 And they went to the king, to the courtyard, and they put the scroll for safe-keeping in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words in the hearing of the king.
众领袖把书卷存在书记以利沙玛的房间里, 然后进内院去见王, 把这一切话都禀告给王听.

36:21 Then the king sent Jehudi to take the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and Jehudi read it aloud in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the officials who stood next to the king.
于是王差派犹底去把书卷拿来; 犹底就从书记以利沙玛的房间里把书卷取来, 向王和所有侍立在王左右的领袖宣读.

36:22 Now the king was sitting in the quarters of the winter in the ninth month, and a fire-pot was burning before him.
那时正是九月, 王坐在冬宫里, 在他面前有一盆炭火烧着.

36:23 And then, as Jehudi read three or four columns, he would cut it up in pieces with the knife of the scribe, and he would throw it into the fire that was in the fire-pot until the whole of the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire-pot.
每逢犹底宣读完三四段, 王就用书记的小刀把书割破, 丢进盆中的火里, 直到全卷都在盆中的火里烧尽了.

36:24 And the king and any of his servants who heard all these words were not startled, and they did not tear their garments.
王和他所有听见这一切话的臣仆, 都不惊惧, 也不撕裂衣服.

36:25 And even when Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
虽然以利拿单,第莱雅和基玛利雅恳求王不要烧这书卷, 王却不听他们,

36:26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel, the son of the king, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but Yahweh hid them.
更吩咐王子耶拉篾,亚次列的儿子西莱雅和亚伯叠的儿子示利米雅, 去捉拿文士巴录和耶利米先知; 但耶和华把他们隐藏起来.

36:27 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after the king burned the scroll and the words that Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
王烧了那载有巴录从耶利米口中录下的话的书卷以后, 耶和华的话又临到耶利米, 说:

36:28 “Take again for yourself another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.
“你再取一书卷来, 把犹大王约雅敬烧掉的前一书卷里原来的一切话, 都写在书卷上面.

36:29 And concerning Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, you shall say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written in it, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and he will destroy this land, and he will cause to disappear from it humankind and animals”?’ ”
论到犹大王约雅敬你要说: ‘耶和华这样说: 你烧了那书卷, 说: 你为什么在上面写着说: 巴比伦王一定来, 毁灭这地, 使地上的人畜都灭绝呢?

36:30 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, “There will not be for him one who sits on the throne of David. And his dead body will be thrown out to the heat in the day and to the frost in the night.
因此, 耶和华论到犹大王约雅敬这样说: 他的后代必没有人坐在大卫的王位上; 他的尸体必拋弃在外, 日间受炎热, 夜间受寒霜.

36:31 And I will punish him, and his offspring, and his servants for their guilt, and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the people of Judah all the disaster with which I have threatened them, but they would not listen.” ’ ”
我必惩罚他和他的后裔, 以及他臣仆的罪孽; 我必使我对他们预告过的一切灾祸, 临到他们和耶路撒冷的居民, 以及犹大人的身上; 他们却不听从. ’”

36:32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriah, the secretary, and he wrote on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, had burned in the fire, and furthermore was added to them many words like these.
于是耶利米取了另一卷书卷, 交给尼利亚的儿子文士巴录; 巴录就从耶利米的口中, 把犹大王约雅敬在火中烧掉的那书上的一切话, 都写在书卷上, 还加上很多类似的话.

Jeremiah - Chapter 37

37:1 And king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had made king, reigned as king in the land of Judah in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim.
约西亚的儿子西底家代替约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅作王; 西底家是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所立在犹大地作王的.

37:2 But he and his servants and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Yahweh that he spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
西底家和他的臣仆, 以及那地的人民, 都不听从耶和华借耶利米先知所传的话.

37:3 And king Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Please pray for us to Yahweh our God.”
西底家王差派示利米雅的儿子犹甲和玛西雅祭司的儿子西番雅, 去见耶利米先知, 说: “请你为我们向耶和华我们的神祷告. ”

37:4 Now Jeremiah was coming and going out in the midst of the people and they had not put him in the house of imprisonment.
那时, 耶利米还可以在民众中间自由行动, 因为他们还没有把他关进监狱里.

37:5 And the army of Pharaoh had come out from Egypt, and the Chaldeans, who were laying siege to Jerusalem, heard their report and they withdrew from Jerusalem.
法老的军队已经从埃及出来; 那些围困耶路撒冷的迦勒底人听见了他们的风声, 就从耶路撒冷撤退了.

37:6 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
那时, 耶和华的话临到耶利米先知,

37:7 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘This is what you shall say to the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me, “Look, the army of Pharaoh, which set out to help you, is going to return to his land Egypt.
“耶和华以色列的神这样说: 你们要对差派你们来求问我的犹大王这样说: ‘看哪! 那出来帮助你们的法老的军队, 必回到他们的埃及本地去.

37:8 And the Chaldeans will return, and they will fight against this city, and they will capture it, and they will burn it with fire.” ’
迦勒底人必回来, 攻击这城, 占领这城, 放火烧毁这城. ’

37:9 Thus says Yahweh: ‘You must not deceive yourselves, saying, “Surely the Chaldeans will go from us,” for they will not go.
耶和华这样说: 你们不要自己欺骗自己, 说: ‘迦勒底人必定离开我们! ’因为他们必不离开.

37:10 For even if you struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and only men pierced through remained among them, each one in his tent, they would rise up and they would burn this city with fire.’ ”
即使你们击败了那攻打你们的迦勒底全军, 他们中间只剩下一些受重伤的人, 他们也必各从自己的帐棚里起来, 放火烧毁这城. ’”

37:11 And then, at the withdrawing of the army of the Chaldeans from Jerusalem before the army of Pharaoh,
迦勒底人的军队因惧怕法老的军队而从耶路撒冷撤退的时候,

37:12 Jeremiah set out from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to receive a portion from there in the midst of the people.
耶利米离开耶路撒冷, 往便雅悯地去, 要在那里, 在同乡中间, 取得自己的产业.

37:13 And when he was at the Gate of Benjamin, there was a sentry on duty whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
他到了便雅悯门, 那里有一个守卫的长官, 名叫伊利雅, 是哈拿尼雅的孙子,示利米雅的儿子; 他拿住耶利米先知, 说: “你想去投降迦勒底人! ”

37:14 And Jeremiah said, “That is a lie! I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But he would not listen to him. So Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.
耶利米说: “这是谎话! 我并不是去投降迦勒底人. ”但伊利雅不听他, 仍拿住他, 把他带到众领袖那里.

37:15 And the officials were angry at Jeremiah and they struck him. And they put him in prison, in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for they had converted it to the prison.
众领袖都恼怒耶利米, 就吩咐人打他, 并且把他关进监里, 就是在书记约拿单的房子里, 因为他们已把这房子改作监狱.

37:16 So Jeremiah came to the dungeon, even to the vaulted cells, and Jeremiah stayed there many days.
耶利米进了地牢里的一个囚房, 在那里监禁了多日.

37:17 Then King Zedekiah sent and fetched him. And the king questioned him in secrecy in his house, and he said, “Is there a word from Yahweh?” And Jeremiah said, “There is.” And he said, “You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
后来, 西底家王派人去把他带出来; 王在自己的宫中私下问他, 说: “从耶和华那里有话来吗? ”耶利米回答: “有! ”又说: “你必交在巴比伦王的手中. ”

37:18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What did I do wrong to you, or to your servants, or to this people, that you have put me in prison?
耶利米再对西底家王说: “我有什么得罪你, 或你的臣仆, 或这人民, 你竟然把我送进监狱里呢?

37:19 And where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land’?
你们的先知曾向你们预言说: ‘巴比伦王必不会来攻击你们和这地. ’他们现今在哪里呢?

37:20 Now then, my lord the king, please let my plea fall before you. You must not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, so that I will not die there.”
我主我王啊! 现在求你垂听, 求你容我向你恳求! 不要把我送回书记约拿单的房子去, 免得我死在那里. ”

37:21 So King Zedekiah commanded, and they handed Jeremiah over in the courtyard of the guard, and they gave to him a round loaf of bread from the street of the bakers every day until the finishing of all the bread from the city. And Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.
于是西底家王下令, 把耶利米拘留在卫兵的院子里; 他们每天从饼铺街拿一个饼给他, 直到城里的饼都吃光了. 耶利米就这样留在卫兵的院子里.

Jeremiah - Chapter 38

38:1 Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah heard the words that Jeremiah was saying to all the people, saying,
玛坦的儿子示法提雅,巴施户珥的儿子基大利,示利米雅的儿子犹甲,玛基雅的儿子示巴户珥, 听见耶利米对众民宣讲以下的话:

38:2 “Thus says Yahweh, ‘The one who stays in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague. But the one who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. And his life will be for him as booty, and he will live.’
“耶和华这样说: ‘凡留在这城里的, 必因刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫而死; 但出去向迦勒底人投降的, 必可以活着; 他们必捡回自己的性命, 得以生存. ’

38:3 Thus says Yahweh, ‘Surely this city will be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.’ ”
耶和华这样说: ‘这城必交在巴比伦王军队的手中, 巴比伦王必攻取这城. ’”

38:4 Then the officials said to the king, “Please, this man must be killed, because he is making slack the hands of the soldiers who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them words like these, for this man is not seeking for welfare to this people, but only for harm.”
于是众领袖对王说: “这人应该处死, 因为他向这城里剩下的军兵和众民说了这样的话, 使他们的手都软弱无力. 这人不是为这人民求平安, 却是惹来灾祸的. ”

38:5 And Zedekiah the king said, “Look, he is in your hand, for the king is not able to do a thing against you.”
西底家王说: “看哪! 他在你们手中; 王不能作什么反对你们. ”

38:6 So they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchiah, the son of the king, which was in the courtyard of the guard. And they let Jeremiah down by ropes. Now in the pit there was no water, but only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.
他们就拿住耶利米, 把他丢在王子玛基雅的井里, 那井是在卫兵的院子里的; 他们用绳子把耶利米缒下去. 井里没有水, 只有淤泥; 耶利米就陷在淤泥中.

38:7 When Ebed-melech the Cushite, a eunuch who was in the house of the king, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the pit—now the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin—
宫中的臣宰古实人以伯．米勒, 在王宫里听见他们把耶利米关在井里的消息(那时, 王正在便雅悯门坐着),

38:8 Ebed-melech went out from the house of the king and spoke to the king, saying,
以伯．米勒就从王宫里出来, 禀告王说:

38:9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, in that they have thrown him into the pit, and he will die there because of starvation, for there is no longer any bread in the city.”
“我主我王啊! 这些人对耶利米先知所作的一切真是恶毒, 他们把他丢在井里; 在那地方他必饿死, 因为城里再没有粮食了. ”

38:10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, “Take with you these thirty men and pull Jeremiah the prophet up from the pit before he dies.”
于是王吩咐古实人以伯．米勒说: “你从这里带三十个人, 在耶利米先知未死以前, 把他从井里拉上来. ”

38:11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the palace of the king, to a place beneath the storehouse, and he took from there rags and worn-out clothes. And he let them down into the pit by ropes to Jeremiah.
以伯．米勒就带人进王宫去, 到储物室下面的一个房间, 从那里取了些破布烂衣, 用绳子缒下井里给耶利米.

38:12 Then Ebed-melech the Cushite said to Jeremiah, “Please put the rags and worn-out clothes under the joints of your arms under the ropes,” and Jeremiah did so.
古实人以伯．米勒对耶利米说: “把这些破布烂衣垫在你的腋下, 然后束上绳子. ”耶利米就这样作了.

38:13 And they pulled Jeremiah by the ropes and brought him up from the pit. And Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.
于是他们用绳子把耶利米从井里拉出来; 这样, 耶利米可以住在卫兵的院子里.

38:14 And Zedekiah the king sent and made someone bring Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that was at the temple of Yahweh. And the king said to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something, you must not hide anything from me.”
后来, 西底家王派人去把耶利米先知带到耶和华殿中的第三道门那里去见他. 王对耶利米说: “我要问你一件事, 你什么都不可以向我隐瞒. ”

38:15 And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I tell you, will you not surely kill me? Besides, if I advise you, you will not listen to me.
耶利米对西底家说: “我若告诉你, 你不是要杀死我吗? 我若向你建议, 你必不听从我. ”

38:16 So Zedekiah the king swore to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “As Yahweh lives, who has made for us this life, I will not kill you and I will not give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your life.”
于是西底家王私下向耶利米起誓, 说: “我指着那创造我们生命的永活的耶和华起誓: 我决不杀死你, 也不把你交在这些寻索你性命的人的手里. ”

38:17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘If only you will go surrender to the officials of the king of Babylon, then you will live, and this city will not be burned with fire, and you will live, you and your house.
耶利米对西底家说: “耶和华万军的神,以色列的神这样说: ‘你若出去归降巴比伦王的将领, 你的性命就可以存活; 这城也不会被火焚烧, 你和你一家都可以存活.

38:18 But if you do not go surrender to the officials of the king of Babylon, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you will not escape from their hand.’ ”
但你若不出去归降巴比伦王的将领, 这城就必交在迦勒底人的手中; 他们必放火烧毁这城, 你自己也不能从他们的手里逃脱. ’”

38:19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Judeans who have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand and they abuse me.”
西底家王对耶利米说: “我害怕那些已向迦勒底人投降的犹大人, 恐怕迦勒底人把我交在他们手中, 他们就会凌辱我. ”

38:20 And Jeremiah said, “They will not give you over. Please obey the voice of Yahweh with regard to what I am saying to you, and it will go well with you, and you will live.
耶利米说: “迦勒底人必不会把你交给他们. 求你听从我对你所说的耶和华的话; 这样, 你就可以平安无事, 你的性命也可以存活.

38:21 But if you are refusing to surrender, this is the thing that Yahweh has shown me.
你若拒绝出去投降, 耶和华指示我的话就是这样:

38:22 Now look, all the women who remain in the house of the king of Judah are being led out to the officials of the king of Babylon. And look, they are saying, ‘Your trusted friends have misled you, and they have prevailed against you. Your feet are stuck in the mud, so they turned backward.’
看哪! 犹大王宫里所有剩下的妇女, 都必被带出来, 去到巴比伦王的将领那里. 那些妇女必对你说: ‘你的盟友煽惑了你, 左右了你; 现在你的脚陷在泥沼中, 他们就都离弃你. ’

38:23 And all your wives and your children will be led out to the Chaldeans, and you will not escape from their hand, but by the hand of the king of Babylon you will be seized, and this city will burn with fire.”
你所有的后妃和你的儿女, 都必被带出来, 去到迦勒底人那里; 你自己也不能从他们的手里逃脱, 因为你必被巴比伦王的手抓住; 这城也必被火烧毁(“这城也必被火烧毁”有古抄本作“你必放火烧毁这城”). ”

38:24 And Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “No man must know about these words so that you will not die.
西底家对耶利米说: “不要给人知道这些话, 这样你就不会死.

38:25 And if the officials hear that I have spoken with you, and they come to you and say to you, ‘Please tell us what you said to the king. You must not conceal it from us so that we will not kill you. And what did the king say to you?’
众领袖若听见了我和你说过话, 就会来见你, 对你说: ‘告诉我们, 你对王说了些什么? 不可向我们隐瞒, 我们就不会杀死你. 王又对你说了些什么? ’

38:26 Then you shall say to them, ‘I was presenting my plea before the king, to not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan to die there.’ ”
你就要对他们说: ‘我只是把我的恳求呈到王面前, 求他不要把我送回约拿单的房子去, 免得我死在那里. ’”

38:27 And all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him, and he informed them like all these words that the king commanded. So they fell silent, for the conversation was not heard.
所有的领袖果然来见耶利米, 查问他; 他就照着王所吩咐的这一切话告诉他们. 于是他们不再追问他, 因为王和他说话的内容没有给人听见.

38:28 And Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was captured. And it happened that Jerusalem was captured.
这样, 耶利米留在卫兵的院子里, 直到耶路撒冷被攻取的那一天.

Jeremiah - Chapter 39

39:1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and laid siege to it.
犹大王西底家第九年十月, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领他的全军来攻击耶路撒冷, 把城围困起来.

39:2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was taken by assault.
西底家第十一年四月九日, 城被攻破.

39:3 And all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim the chief officer, Nergal-sharezer the high official, with all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.
巴比伦王所有的将领: 尼甲．沙利薛,三甲．尼波,大臣(“大臣”的本意不明确)撒西金,术士长(“术士长”的本意不明确)尼甲．沙利薛, 以及巴比伦王所有其余的将领, 都进城, 坐在中门.

39:4 And then when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the soldiers with him, they fled and went out at night from the city by the way of the garden of the king through the gate between the walls. And they went out toward the Jordan Valley.
犹大王西底家和所有的军兵看见了他们, 就逃跑, 在夜间逃出城外, 经过王的花园, 穿过两道城墙中间的门, 直往亚拉巴的路上走去.

39:5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And they took him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath. And he pronounced sentence on him.
但迦勒底人的军队追赶他们, 在耶利哥的原野上追上了西底家, 把他拿住, 带到哈马地的利比拉去见巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒; 尼布甲尼撒就宣判他的罪状.

39:6 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah at Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also slaughtered all the nobles of Judah.
巴比伦王在利比拉, 当着西底家眼前杀了他的众子; 巴比伦王也杀了犹大所有的显贵,

39:7 Then he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah and tied him up with bronze fetters to bring him to Babylon.
并且把西底家的眼睛弄瞎了, 用铜链锁住他, 把他带到巴比伦去.

39:8 And the Chaldeans burned the palace of the king and the houses of the people with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
迦勒底人放火焚烧王宫和民房, 又拆毁了耶路撒冷的城墙.

39:9 Then the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those deserting who had deserted to him, and the rest of the people who remained, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, deported to Babylon.
城里剩下的人民, 和那些已经向巴比伦王投降的人, 以及其余的人民, 都被护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳到巴比伦去.

39:10 And some of the poor people, who had nothing, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left in the land of Judah. And he gave them vineyards and fields on that day.
但护卫长尼布撒拉旦把民中一些一无所有的穷人留在犹大地, 同时把葡萄园和田地分给他们.

39:11 And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon commanded concerning Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying,
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒提到耶利米, 吩咐护卫长尼布撒拉旦说:

39:12 “Take him and set your eyes on him. And you must not do something bad to him, but only that which he speaks to you, so do with him.”
“你把他带去, 好好照顾他, 切不可伤害他; 他对你怎样说, 你就给他照办. ”

39:13 So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, sent word, along with Nebushazban the chief officer, and Nergal-sharezer the high official, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon.
于是护卫长尼布撒拉旦,大臣(“大臣”的本意不明确)尼布沙斯班,术士长(“术士长”的本意不明确)尼甲．沙利薛, 以及巴比伦王所有的大臣都派人去,

39:14 And they sent and took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and gave him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to the house, so he stayed in the midst of the people.
把耶利米从卫兵的院子里提出来, 交给沙番的孙子,亚希甘的儿子基大利, 叫他带耶利米回家去. 这样, 耶利米就住在人民中间.

39:15 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah at his confinement in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
耶利米还监禁在卫兵的院子里的时候, 耶和华的话临到他, 说:

39:16 “Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Look, I am about to bring my words to pass against this city for evil and not for good. And they will be before you on that day.
“你去告诉古实人以伯．米勒说: ‘万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 看哪! 我必在这城实现我的话, 降祸不降福; 到那日, 这一切都必在你面前实现.

39:17 But I will rescue you on that day,” declares Yahweh, “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are frightened.
但到了那日, 我必拯救你; 你必不至交在你所惧怕的人手里. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

39:18 For surely I will save you, and you will not fall by the sword. But your life will be for you as booty because you have trusted in me,” declares Yahweh.’ ”
‘因为我必定搭救你; 你必不会倒在刀下, 必可以捡回自己的性命, 因为你信靠我. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 40

40:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had let him go from Ramah, where he had been taken bound in chains in the midst of all the exiles of Jerusalem and Judah who were being deported to Babylon.
护卫长尼布撒拉旦在拉玛释放了耶利米以后, 从耶和华那里有话临到耶利米. 耶利米被提出来的时候, 还被铁链锁着, 在所有从耶路撒冷和犹大被掳到巴比伦去的人中间.

40:2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “Yahweh your God threatened this disaster to this place,
护卫长把耶利米提出来, 对他说: “耶和华你的神曾说要降这灾祸在这地方;

40:3 and now he has brought it about, and Yahweh has done just as he threatened. Because you sinned against Yahweh and did not listen to his voice, so this thing has happened to you.
现在耶和华使灾祸临到, 照他所说的行了; 因为你们得罪了耶和华, 没有听从他的话, 所以这事才临到你们.

40:4 And so then look, I have released you today from the chains that were on your hands. If it is good in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you. But if it is bad in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, then refrain. Look, the whole land is before you. To wherever it is good and right in your eyes to go, then go there.”
我现在解开你手上的铁链. 你若认为与我一同到巴比伦去好, 就一起去, 我必好好照顾你; 你若认为与我一同到巴比伦去不好, 就不必去. 看, 全地都在你面前, 你认为去哪里好,哪里合宜, 就到哪里去吧! ”

40:5 While he still had not turned back, Nebuzaradan added, “Return to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed in an official position over the towns of Judah, and stay with him in the midst of the people. Or to wherever it is right in your eyes to go, then go there.” Then the captain of the guard gave him an allowance of provisions and a present, and let him go.
耶利米还没有回答, 护卫长又说(“耶利米还没有回答, 护卫长又说”原文意思难确定, 有译本改作“你若认为回去好”): “你可以回到沙番的孙子,亚希甘的儿子基大利那里去! 基大利是巴比伦王指派管理犹大各城的. 你可以和他一起住在人民中间; 或是你认为去哪里合宜, 就到哪里去吧! ”于是护卫长给他粮食和礼物, 就释放他走了.

40:6 So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah and stayed with him in the midst of the people who were left in the land.
耶利米就到米斯巴去见亚希甘的儿子基大利, 和他一同住在那地剩下的人民中间.

40:7 When all the commanders of the armies who were in the open country and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam in an official position in the land, and that he had put him in charge of men, and women, and little children, and of the poor of the land, of all those who had not been deported to Babylon,
在田野的众将领和他们的士兵, 听见巴比伦王委派了亚希甘的儿子基大利管理那地, 也委派他管理那些没有被掳到巴比伦去的男人,妇女,孩童, 和那地最贫穷的人,

40:8 then they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, and Jehonathan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
他们就来到米斯巴去见基大利; 其中有尼探雅的儿子以实玛利,加利亚的两个儿子约哈难和约拿单,单户篾的儿子西莱雅,尼陀法人以斐的众子, 和玛迦人的儿子耶撒尼亚, 以及他们的士兵.

40:9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, “You must not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans. Stay in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.
沙番的孙子,亚希甘的儿子基大利向他们和他们的士兵起誓, 说: “你们不要惧怕服事迦勒底人, 只管住在这地, 服事巴比伦王, 就可以平安无事.

40:10 As for me, look, I am staying at Mizpah to represent you before the Chaldeans who come to us. But you, gather wine and summer fruit and oil, and put them in your vessels, and live in your towns that you have seized.”
至于我, 我要留在米斯巴, 侍候那些来到我们这里的迦勒底人. 你们只管收存酒,夏天的果子和油, 放在器皿里, 并且住在你们所占有的城中. ”

40:11 And also all the Judeans who were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and who were in all the lands, when they heard that the king of Babylon had given a remnant to Judah and that he had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, in an official position over them,
那些在摩押,亚扪,以东和各地所有的犹大人, 听见了巴比伦王在犹大留下一些余民, 并且指派沙番的孙子,亚希甘的儿子基大利管理他们,

40:12 then all the Judeans returned from all the places to which they were scattered. And they came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and they gathered wine and summer fruit that yielded in great abundance.
所有的犹大人就从被赶逐到的各地方回来, 到犹大地的米斯巴去见基大利, 并且收存了许多的酒和夏天的果子.

40:13 And Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah
加利亚的儿子约哈难和在田野的众将领, 都到米斯巴去见基大利,

40:14 and said to him, “Are you at all aware that Baalis, the king of the Ammonites, has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, to kill you?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam would not believe them.
对他说: “亚扪王巴利斯派尼探雅的儿子以实玛利来杀你, 你知道吗? ”亚希甘的儿子基大利不相信他们.

40:15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah said to Gedaliah in secrecy at Mizpah, saying, “Please let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and nobody will know. Why should he kill you, so that all of Judah who are gathered to you will be scattered, and the remnant of Judah will perish?”
后来加利亚的儿子约哈难在米斯巴私下告诉基大利说: “请容我去把尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了, 必没有人知道; 为什么要让他杀你, 以致集合到你那里来的所有犹大人都分散, 犹大余剩的人都灭亡呢? ”

40:16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You must not do this thing, for you are telling a lie about Ishmael.”
但亚希甘的儿子基大利对加利亚的儿子约哈难说: “你不可作这事, 因为你所说关于以实玛利的事都是谎话! ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 41

41:1 And then in the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, from the offspring of the kingship, and one of the chief officers of the king, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam at Mizpah, along with ten men. And they ate bread together there at Mizpah.
但在七月的时候, 王裔以利沙玛的孙子,尼探雅的儿子以实玛利, 也是王的一位大臣, 带了十个人和他一起到米斯巴去见亚希甘的儿子基大利; 他们在米斯巴一起吃饭的时候,

41:2 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah got up, along with the ten men who were with him, and they struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and killed him whom the king of Babylon had appointed in an official position over the land.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和与他一起的那十个人就起来, 用刀袭击沙番的孙子,亚希甘的儿子基大利, 就是巴比伦王指派管理那地的, 把他杀掉.

41:3 Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with the Chaldeans who were found there, the soldiers.
以实玛利也击杀了所有在米斯巴和基大利一起的犹大人, 以及在那里所遇见的迦勒底军兵.

41:4 And then on the second day of the killing of Gedaliah—and no one knew—
他杀了基大利以后, 没有人知道; 第二天,

41:5 then men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men with shaven beards and torn garments, who had cut themselves with blades, having grain offerings and frankincense in their hands to bring to the temple of Yahweh.
有八十个人从示剑,示罗和撒玛利亚前来, 胡须剃去, 衣服撕裂, 身体割破, 手里拿着素祭和乳香, 要带到耶和华的殿里去.

41:6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah came out to meet them from Mizpah, weeping as he came. And then as he was meeting them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利从米斯巴出来迎接他们, 边走边哭, 遇见了他们, 就对他们说: “请你们来见亚希甘的儿子基大利! ”

41:7 And then, the moment of their coming to the middle of the city, then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, along with the men who were with him, slaughtered them and threw them to the middle of the pit.
他们到了城中, 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和与他一起的人, 就把他们杀了, 扔在坑里.

41:8 But ten men were found among them, and they said to Ishmael, “You must not kill us, for we have hidden treasures in the field, wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. So he refrained and he did not kill them in the midst of their fellow countrymen.
只是他们中间有十个人却对以实玛利说: “请不要杀死我们! 因为我们有许多小麦,大麦,油和蜜, 埋藏在田间. ”他就住了手, 没有把这十个人在他们的兄弟中一同杀死.

41:9 Now the pit into which Ishmael threw all the corpses of the men whom he had killed along with Gedaliah was the same one that King Asa had made because of Baasha the king of Israel, who was against him. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain ones.
以实玛利把他们所击杀的人的尸体全部扔在坑里(他杀这些人是因为基大利的缘故); 这坑是从前亚撒王为了防御以色列王巴沙而挖掘的. 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利用那些被杀的人的尸体填满了那坑.

41:10 Then Ishmael took captive all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the daughters of the king and all the people who were left at Mizpah, over whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael took them captive and set out to cross over to the Ammonites.
以实玛利还掳去所有留在米斯巴的余民, 包括王的众公主和所有留在米斯巴的人民; 这些人都是护卫长尼布撒拉旦交给亚希甘的儿子基大利管理的. 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利把他们掳走, 往亚扪那里去.

41:11 When Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were with him, heard all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
加利亚的儿子约哈难和与他一起的众将领, 听见了尼探雅的儿子以实玛利所行的一切恶事,

41:12 then they took all the men and went to fight against Ishmael the son of Nethaniah. And they met him at the great pool that is in Gibeon.
就率领所有的人, 去攻打尼探雅的儿子以实玛利, 在基遍的大水池边追上他.

41:13 And then, the moment that all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were with him, they were glad.
在以实玛利那里的众民, 看见了加利亚的儿子约哈难和与他一起的众将领, 就都欢喜.

41:14 So all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and returned and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
于是以实玛利从米斯巴掳去的众民都转身, 归到加利亚的儿子约哈难那里.

41:15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped with eight men from Johanan, and they went to the Ammonites.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着八个人逃脱了约哈难的手, 到亚扪那里去.

41:16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were with him took from Mizpah all the rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, strong men, soldiers, and women, and little children, and eunuchs whom he brought back from Gibeon.
加利亚的儿子约哈难和与他一起的众将领, 就夺回了全部余民, 包括军兵,妇女,孩童和宫中的臣宰, 就是尼探雅的儿子以实玛利在刺杀亚希甘的儿子基大利以后, 从米斯巴掳走的. 约哈难把这些人都从基遍带回来.

41:17 And they set out and stayed at the lodging place of Chimham that is near Bethlehem, intending to go to Egypt
他们去到伯利恒附近的基罗特金罕, 停留在那里, 想要往埃及去,

41:18 because of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed in an official position over the land.
躲避迦勒底人. 他们惧怕迦勒底人, 因为尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了巴比伦王指派管理那地的亚希甘的儿子基大利.

Jeremiah - Chapter 42

42:1 Then all the commanders of the armies, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the smallest to the greatest, approached
所有的将领, 包括加利亚的儿子约哈难和何沙雅的儿子耶撒尼亚, 以及全体人民, 从最小的到最大的, 都上前来,

42:2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “May our plea please fall before you, and pray for us to Yahweh your God, for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes are seeing us.
对耶利米先知说: “求你容我们向你恳求, 请为我们这余剩的民向耶和华你的神祷告; 因为我们从前人数众多, 现在剩下的极少, 就像你现在亲眼所见的一样.

42:3 And let Yahweh your God inform us the way in which we should go and the thing that we should do.”
请为我们求耶和华你的神指示我们当走的路和该作的事. ”

42:4 And Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard. Look, I am going to pray to Yahweh your God according to your words, and then all the words that Yahweh answers you I will tell you; I will not withhold from you a word.”
耶利米先知对他们说: “我听见了! 我必照着你们的话祷告耶和华你们的神. 耶和华回答你们所说的一切话, 我必告诉你们, 一句也不会向你们隐瞒. ”

42:5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May Yahweh be against us as a true and faithful witness if we do not do according to all the words that Yahweh sends you for us.
于是他们对耶利米说: “我们若不照着耶和华你的神差遣你到我们这里来所说的一切话去作, 愿耶和华作真实和诚信的见证, 指控我们.

42:6 Whether good or bad, we will listen to the voice of Yahweh our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we listen to the voice of Yahweh our God.”
不论是甜是苦, 我们都愿听从耶和华我们神的话, 因为是我们委派你向他祈求的; 我们听从耶和华我们神的话, 就必凡事亨通. ”

42:7 And then at the end of ten days the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah.
过了十天, 耶和华的话临到耶利米.

42:8 And he summoned Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the armies who were with him, and all the people from the smallest to the greatest,
耶利米就把加利亚的儿子约哈难, 和所有与他一起的将领, 以及全体人民, 从最小的到最大的, 都叫了来,

42:9 and said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to cause your plea to fall before him:
对他们说: “耶和华以色列的神, 就是你们委派我去为你们向他恳求的那位, 这样说:

42:10 ‘If only you will stay in this land, then I will build you and I will not tear you down, and I will plant you and I will not pluck you up, for I relent of the disaster that I have brought to you.
‘你们若决意住在这地, 我就建立你们, 必不拆毁; 栽植你们, 必不拔除; 因我为那已经降在你们身上的灾祸回心转意.

42:11 You must not be afraid of the king of Babylon whom you are afraid of. You must not be afraid of him,’ declares Yahweh, ‘for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.
你们所怕的巴比伦王, 你们不要惧怕他; 你们不要惧怕他(这是耶和华的宣告), 因为我与你们同在, 要拯救你们, 要搭救你们脱离他的手.

42:12 And I will show you compassion, and he will have compassion on you and will restore you to your soil.
我要向你们施怜悯, 他也会怜悯你们, 使你们归回自己的土地. ’

42:13 But if you are saying, “We will not stay in this land,” so as to not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God,
但是, 你们若说: ‘我们不住在这地’, 不听从耶和华你们的神的话,

42:14 saying, “No, for we will go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war, and we will not hear the sound of a horn, and we will not be hungry for bread, and there we will stay,”
或说: ‘不! 我们要去埃及地, 在那里看不到战争, 听不见号角的声音, 也不会因缺乏粮食而饥饿; 我们要留在那里. ’

42:15 then therefore hear the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah. Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “If you are determined to go to Egypt, and you go to dwell as aliens there,
这样, 犹大余剩的人哪, 你们现在要听耶和华的话! 万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你们若决意去埃及, 到那里寄居,

42:16 then it will be that the sword that you are in fear of will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine that you are anxious of will pursue after you there into Egypt, and there you will die.
你们惧怕的刀剑必在埃及地追上你们; 你们恐惧的饥荒必在埃及紧随着你们; 你们必死在那里.

42:17 So all the people who are determined to go to Egypt to dwell as aliens there will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, and there will not be for them an escapee or a survivor from the disaster that I am bringing upon them.”
所有决意去埃及, 在那里寄居的人, 必因刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫而死; 他们没有一人能幸存, 或避过我降在他们身上的灾祸. ’

42:18 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will pour out on you at your going to Egypt, and you will become a curse, and a horror, and a curse formula, and a disgrace, and you will no longer see this place.” ’
“因为万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘我从前怎样把我的怒气和烈怒倾倒在耶路撒冷的居民身上, 现在你们进入埃及的时候, 我也必照样把我的烈怒倾倒在你们身上. 你们就必成为令人惊骇,被人咒骂,咒诅和羞辱的对象. 你们必不能再看见这地方.

42:19 Yahweh has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, ‘You must not go to Egypt.’ You must certainly know that I have warned you today
犹大余剩的人哪, 耶和华曾对你们说: ‘你们不要去埃及. ’你们要确实知道, 我今天已经警告你们了.

42:20 that you have made a fatal mistake, for you sent me to Yahweh your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to Yahweh our God, and all that Yahweh our God says, so tell us and we will do it.’
你们实在自己欺骗自己, 因为是你们委派我去见耶和华你们的神, 你们说: ‘请为我们向耶和华我们的神祷告; 无论耶和华我们的神说什么, 你都要告诉我们, 我们就必照着去作. ’

42:21 So I have told you today, and you have not listened to the voice of Yahweh your God, or of anything that he sent me for you.
我今天告诉了你们, 你们却不听从耶和华你们的神派我来告诉你们的一切话.

42:22 Now then, certainly you must know that by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague you will die in the place where you desire to go, to dwell as aliens there.”
现在你们要确实知道, 在你们想去寄居的那地方, 你们必因刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫而死. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 43

43:1 And then, when Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, for which Yahweh their God had sent him to them with all these words,
耶利米向众民说完了耶和华他们的神吩咐他的一切话, 就是耶和华他们的神差遣他去对他们说的一切话.

43:2 Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the insolent men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You are telling a lie! Yahweh our God did not send you, saying, ‘You must not go to Egypt to dwell as aliens there.’
何沙雅的儿子亚撒利雅, 和加利亚的儿子约哈难, 以及所有狂傲的人, 就对耶利米说: “你在说谎! 耶和华我们的神并没有差遣你来说: ‘你们不可去埃及, 在那里寄居. ’

43:3 But Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us in order to give us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to kill us and to deport us to Babylon.”
只是尼利亚的儿子巴录怂恿你来反对我们, 为要把我们交在迦勒底人的手中, 好使我们被杀害, 或被掳到巴比伦去. ”

43:4 So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies, and all the people did not listen to the voice of Yahweh to stay in the land of Judah.
于是加利亚的儿子约哈难和众将领, 以及众民, 都不听从耶和华要他们留在犹大地的命令.

43:5 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies took all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations to which they had been scattered to dwell as aliens in the land of Judah—
相反地, 加利亚的儿子约哈难和众将领却率领犹大所有余剩的人, 就是那些从被赶逐到各国回来住在犹大地的,

43:6 the men, and the women, and the little children, and the daughters of the king, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah—
包括男人,女人,孩童和王的众公主, 以及护卫长尼布撒拉旦留给沙番的孙子,亚希甘的儿子基大利管理的众人, 还有耶利米先知和尼利亚的儿子巴录,

43:7 and they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh. And they came up to Tahpanhes.
把他们都带进埃及地, 去到答比匿, 没有听从耶和华的话.

43:8 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
在答比匿耶和华的话临到耶利米, 说:

43:9 “Take in your hands large stones and bury them in the mortar in the clay floor that is at the entrance of the palace of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes before the eyes of the people of the Judeans,
“你要在犹大人眼前亲手拿几块大石头, 埋藏在答比匿法老宫殿门前砖窑的灰泥中;

43:10 and say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Look, I am going to send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he will spread out his canopy over them.
然后对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: 看哪! 我要派人去领我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来; 我要在我所埋藏的这些石头上安设他的王位; 他必在上面张开他的帐篷.

43:11 And he will come and ravage the land of Egypt, and deliver those who are appointed for the plague, to the plague, and those who are appointed for the captivity, to the captivity, and those who are appointed for the sword, to the sword.
他必来攻打埃及地; 那些注定死亡的, 必要死亡; 那些注定被掳的, 必要被掳; 那些注定被刀杀的, 必被刀杀.

43:12 Then he will kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. And he will wrap up the land of Egypt just as the shepherd wraps up his cloak. And he will go forth from there in peace.
他(“他”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“我”; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译)必焚烧埃及的神庙, 把它们烧毁, 并且掳掠; 他必得着埃及地, 好像牧人披上衣服那么容易; 他必安然离开那里.

43:13 And he will break the stone pillars of Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt. And he will burn the temples of the gods of Egypt with fire.” ’ ”
他必打碎埃及地伯．示麦(“伯．示麦”或译: “太阳神庙”)的神柱, 放火烧毁埃及神庙. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 44

44:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who were living in the land of Egypt, who were living at Migdol, and Tahpanhes, and Memphis, and in the land of Pathros, saying,
以下的话临到耶利米, 论到所有住在埃及地的犹大人, 就是那些住在密夺,答比匿,挪弗和巴忒罗地的人, 说:

44:2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen all the disaster that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the towns of Judah. And look, they are a site of ruins this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant,
“万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你们都亲眼看见我降在耶路撒冷和犹大各城的一切灾祸. 看哪! 那些城镇今天仍然荒凉, 没有人居住,

44:3 because of their wickedness that they committed to provoke me to anger by going to make smoke offerings, serving other gods whom they had not known, neither they, you, or your ancestors.
这是因为他们所行的恶事的缘故; 他们向别神烧香, 事奉它们, 惹我发怒. 这些神是他们和你们, 以及你们的列祖所不认识的.

44:4 And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending over and over again, saying, “Please, you must not do this detestable thing that I hate.”
虽然我不断差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去, 说: 你们千万不可行我所恨恶, 这可憎的事!

44:5 But they did not listen and they did not incline their ears to turn back from their wickedness, to not make smoke offerings to other gods.
他们却不听从, 毫不留心, 不肯离开他们的恶行, 仍向别神烧香.

44:6 So my wrath and my anger were poured out and burned in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, and they became as a site of ruins, as a desolation, as they are this day.’
因此, 我必倾出我的烈怒和怒气, 在犹大的各城镇和耶路撒冷的街上烧起, 以致它们都荒凉废弃, 像今天一样. ’

44:7 So then, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Why are you doing great harm to yourselves, to cut off for yourselves man and woman, child and suckling, from the midst of Judah, to not leave over for yourselves a remnant,
现在, 耶和华万军的神以色列的神这样说: ‘你们为什么自己招来这样的大灾祸, 使你们的男人,女人,孩童和婴儿都从犹大中除灭, 一个余剩的人也不留下呢?

44:8 provoking me to anger with the works of your hands, to make smoke offerings to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to dwell as aliens, so as to cut off yourselves, and so that you are becoming as a curse, and as a disgrace among all the nations of the earth?
为什么因你们手所作的, 在你们来寄居的埃及地向别神烧香, 惹我发怒, 以致你们被除灭, 成为地上万国咒诅和羞辱的对象呢?

44:9 Have you forgotten the wicked things of your ancestors, and the wicked things of the kings of Judah, and the wicked things of their wives, and your wicked things, and the wicked things of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
你们列祖的恶行,犹大列王的恶行,他们妻子的恶行,你们自己的恶行和你们妻子的恶行, 就是在犹大地和耶路撒冷街上所行的, 你们忘记了吗?

44:10 They have not shown contrition up to this day, and they have not shown reverence, and they have not walked in my law and in my statutes that I set before you and before your ancestors.’
直到今日, 他们还没有痛悔, 没有畏惧, 也没有遵行我在你们和你们列祖面前所立的律法和条例. ’

44:11 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Look, I am determined to bring disaster on you, even to exterminate all Judah.
“因此万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘看哪! 我决意向你们降下灾祸, 把全犹大都除灭.

44:12 And I will take away the remnant of Judah who are determined to come to the land of Egypt to dwell as aliens there, and everyone will perish. They will fall in the land of Egypt by the sword; they will perish by the famine, from the smallest to the greatest. By the sword and by the famine they will die and become as a curse, as a horror, and as a curse, and as a disgrace.
那些决意去埃及地, 在那里寄居的犹大余剩的人, 我必把他们除去; 他们必在埃及地灭绝; 他们必倒在刀下, 必因饥荒灭亡; 他们从最小的到最大的都必因刀剑和饥荒而死, 以致成了令人惊骇,被人咒骂,咒诅和羞辱的对象.

44:13 So I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt just as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague.
我必用刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫惩罚那些住在埃及地的人, 好像惩罚耶路撒冷一样.

44:14 And there will not be a survivor or an escapee of the remnant of Judah, those who have come to dwell as an alien there in the land of Egypt, to return to the land of Judah where they are longing to return to dwell there, for they will not turn back, but only some survivors.’ ”
那些去埃及地, 在那里寄居的犹大余剩的人, 必不能逃脱, 不能幸存, 不能返回他们心里渴望回去居住的犹大地; 除了一些逃脱了的人以外, 一个都不能返回. ’”

44:15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were making smoke offerings to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, and all the people who lived in the land of Egypt in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
那些知道自己的妻子曾向别神烧香的众人, 和一大群站在那里的妇女, 以及住在埃及地巴忒罗的众民, 回答耶利米说:

44:16 “Concerning the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, we are not going to listen to you!
“你奉耶和华的名对我们所说的话, 我们不听从.

44:17 But certainly we will do everything that went out from our mouths, to make smoke offerings to the queen of heaven and to pour out to her libations just as we did, we, and our ancestors, our kings, and our officials, in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, for then we had enough to eat, and we were well-off, and we did not see disaster.
我们口中说过的一切话, 我们一定去作, 我们要向天后烧香, 浇奠祭, 好像我们自己和我们的列祖, 以及我们的君王和领袖, 在犹大的各城和耶路撒冷的街上所行的一样. 那时我们吃得饱, 得享福乐, 不见灾祸.

44:18 But since we stopped making smoke offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out libations to her, we have lacked everything, and by the sword and by the famine we have perished.
但是, 自从我们停止向天后烧香和浇奠祭以后, 我们就样样都缺乏, 又因刀剑和饥荒灭亡. ”

44:19 And indeed, when we were making smoke offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out to her libations, was it not with the consent of our husbands that we made for her sacrificial cakes marked with her image, and we poured out to her libations?”
那些妇女又说: “我们不错是向天后烧香和浇奠祭, 难道我们的丈夫不知道我们照着天后的形象制饼供奉她, 向她浇奠祭吗? ”

44:20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and to the women, and to all the people who answered him a word, saying,
耶利米对全体人民, 对那些用这话答复他的男人,女人和众民说:

44:21 “The offering that you made, smoke offerings in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your ancestors, your kings, and your officials, and the people of the land, did not Yahweh remember them, and did it not come to his mind?
“你们和你们的列祖, 以及你们的君王,领袖, 和全国的人民, 在犹大的各城和耶路撒冷的街上烧的香, 耶和华怎能忘记, 他心里怎能不想起呢?

44:22 And Yahweh was no longer able to bear it, because of the evil of your deeds, because of the detestable things that you committed. Thus your land became as a site of ruins, and as a horror, and as a curse, without inhabitants, as it is this day.
耶和华再不能容忍你们邪恶的行为, 和你们所行可憎的事; 故此, 你们的土地荒凉, 成了令人惊骇,被人咒诅的对象, 没有人居住, 好像今天一样.

44:23 Because of the fact that you made smoke offerings, and that you sinned against Yahweh, and you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh, and you have not walked in his law, and in his statute, and in his legal provisions, therefore this disaster has happened to you, as it is this day.”
因为你们向别神烧香, 得罪了耶和华, 不听从耶和华的话, 不遵行他的律法,条例和法度, 所以这灾祸临到你们, 好像今天一样. ”

44:24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women, “Hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt.
耶利米又对众民和众妇女说: “在埃及地所有的犹大人哪, 要听耶和华的话!

44:25 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, ‘You and your wives have promised with your mouths and with your hands you have fulfilled, saying, “We certainly will carry out our vows that we vowed, to make smoke offerings to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her libations.” You must certainly keep your vows and you must certainly carry out your vows.’
万军之耶和华以色列的神这样说: ‘你们和你们的妻子亲口说过: 我们一定要实行我们的愿, 向天后烧香, 浇奠祭. 你们果然亲手作了. 现在你们只管持定你们所许的愿, 只管实行你们的誓言吧! ’

44:26 Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah, those who live in the land of Egypt: ‘Look, I hereby swear by my great name,’ says Yahweh, ‘surely my name will no longer be called in the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, “as the Lord Yahweh lives,” in all the land of Egypt.
但所有住在埃及地的犹大人哪, 你们要听耶和华的话! 耶和华说: ‘看哪! 我指着我伟大的名起誓: 在埃及全地每一个犹大人的口中, 再不会呼唤我的名, 说: 我指着永活的主耶和华起誓.

44:27 Look, I am going to watch over them for harm and not for good, and all people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will perish by the sword and by the famine until their perishing.
看哪! 我要留意向他们降祸不降福; 在埃及地所有的犹大人都必因刀剑和饥荒灭亡, 直到灭绝.

44:28 And the survivors of the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah few in number. And all the remnant of Judah who have come to the land of Egypt to dwell as aliens there will know whose word will endure, from me or from them.
那些逃脱刀剑的, 必从埃及地返回犹大地; 他们人数很少. 这样, 所有去埃及地在那里寄居的犹大余剩的人, 就知道谁的话实现: 我的, 还是他们的.

44:29 And this will be to you the sign,’ declares Yahweh, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that surely my words will endure against you for evil.’
“‘我要在这地方惩罚你们, 这是给你们的征兆, 好使你们知道我说要降祸给你们的话, 一定实现. ’这是耶和华的宣告.

44:30 Thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, I am going to give Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah the king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, his enemy and the one who sought his life.’ ”
耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我必把埃及王法老合弗拉交在他仇敌的手中, 和那些寻索他性命的人的手中, 像我把犹大王西底家交在他仇敌, 那寻索他性命的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中一样. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 45

45:1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch, the son of Neriah, at his writing these words on a scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
以下是犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年, 耶利米先知对尼利亚的儿子巴录所说的话(巴录从耶利米口中把这些话写在书卷上):

45:2 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
“巴录啊! 耶和华以色列的神这样说:

45:3 ‘You said, “Woe please to me, for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain. I am weary in my groaning and I do not find rest.” ’
‘你曾说: 我有祸了! 因为耶和华在我的痛苦上加添忧愁. 我因唉哼而困乏, 得不着安宁. ’”

45:4 Thus you will say to him: ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, what I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted I am about to pluck up, it is all the land.
耶和华对耶利米说: “你要这样对他说: ‘耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我所建立的, 我必拆毁; 我所栽种的, 我必拔除. 我必这样对待全地.

45:5 And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek great things, for look, I am about to bring disaster upon all flesh,” declares Yahweh, “but to you I will give your life as booty in all the places where you may go.” ’ ”
你要为自己图谋大事吗? 不要图谋! 看哪! 我必使灾祸降在全人类身上, 但无论你到什么地方去, 我必使你捡回自己的性命. ’”这是耶和华的宣告.

Jeremiah - Chapter 46

46:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
耶和华论到列国的话临到耶利米先知.

46:2 Concerning Egypt: Concerning the army of Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, which was by the Euphrates River at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah.
以下的话是关于埃及, 论到埃及王法老尼哥的军队, 这军队在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年, 被巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在靠近幼发拉底河的迦基米施击败.

46:3 “Prepare small shield and shield, and approach for the battle!
“要准备好大小的盾牌, 踏上战场.

46:4 Harness the horses and mount the steeds! And take your stand with helmets! Polish the spears! Put on the body armor!
要装备马匹, 骑上战马; 站好岗位, 戴上头盔; 磨快枪矛, 穿上铁甲.

46:5 Why do I see them terrified? They are turning back and their warriors are beaten down. And they have fled to a place of refuge and they do not turn back. Terror is from all around,” declares Yahweh.
但为什么我看见他们惊惶, 转身退后呢? 他们的勇士被击败了, 他们急速奔逃, 不敢回转. 四围都是惊慌. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

46:6 The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape. They have stumbled and they have fallen, by the bank of the Euphrates River.

Lamentations (耶利米哀歌)

Lamentations - Chapter 1

1:1 How desolate the city sits that was full of people! She has become like a widow, once great among the nations! Like a woman of nobility in the provinces, she has become a forced laborer.
从前人烟稠密的城中, 现在怎么竟然孤独地坐在那里. 从前在列国中为大的, 现在怎么竟然像个寡妇. 从前在众省分中为王后的, 现在怎么竟然成了奴隶.

1:2 She weeps bitterly in the night, her tears are on her cheeks; she has no comforter among all her lovers. All her friends have been unfaithful to her; they have become her enemies.
她在夜间痛哭, 泪流满面. 在她所有亲爱的人中, 没有一个安慰她的. 她所有的朋友都以诡诈待她, 都成了她的仇敌.

1:3 Judah has gone into exile with misery and under hard servitude; she lives among the nations, she has not found a resting place; all her pursuers have overtaken her amidst her distress.
犹大受尽痛苦, 饱经劳役, 更遭流徙异地. 她住在列国中, 找不着安居之所. 在困境之中, 追赶她的人把她追上了.

1:4 The roads of Zion are mourning because no one comes to the festival. All her gates are desolate, her priests groan; her young women are worried, and she herself suffers bitterly.
通往锡安道路悲哀, 因为没有人去守节. 锡安一切的城门冷落, 祭司唉哼, 处女忧伤, 锡安也受尽痛苦.

1:5 Her foes have become her master, her enemies are at ease; Yahweh has made her suffer because of the greatness of her transgressions. Her children have gone away, captive before the foe.
锡安的敌人成为主人; 她的仇敌亨通. 因为她的过犯众多, 耶和华就使她受苦. 她的孩童在敌人面前被掳去.

1:6 All her majesty has gone away from the daughter of Zion; her princes have become like young stags that have not found pasture; they have gone away without strength, before the pursuer.
锡安(“锡安”原文作“锡安的女子”)所有的尊荣, 都离开了她的居民. 她的众领袖都像找不着牧场的鹿; 在追赶的人面前无力逃走.

1:7 Jerusalem remembers the days of her misery and wanderings, all her treasures that were from the days of long ago. When her people fell into the hand of the enemy, there was no one helping her; the enemies saw her, they mocked at her destruction.
耶路撒冷在困苦飘流的日子, 就追念她昔日的一切珍宝. 她的人民落在敌人手里的时候, 没有人帮助她. 敌人看见她, 就讥笑她的灭亡.

1:8 Jerusalem sinned grievously, thus she became an objection of derision; all those who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness. She herself groans and turns away.
耶路撒冷犯了大罪, 因此成了不洁之物. 素来尊敬她的现在都藐视她, 因为看见她赤身露体; 她自己也唉哼, 转身退避.

1:9 Her uncleanness was in her skirts; she did not remember her future, she has descended beyond understanding, there is no comforter for her. See, O Yahweh, my persecution! My enemy has been made great!

1:10 The enemy has stretched out his hand over all her treasures; for she has seen the nations, they entered her sanctuary, those whom you commanded not to enter in your assembly.
敌人伸手夺取她的一切珍宝, 她看着外族人闯入她的圣所: 你曾禁止他们进入你的会中.

1:11 All her people groan, they are searching for bread. They give their treasures for food, to bring back life. See, O Yahweh, and look, how I am despised.
她所有的人民都在唉哼, 到处寻觅食物; 他们为了维持生命, 拿自己的珍宝去换取粮食. 她说: “耶和华啊! 求你垂看, 求你鉴察, 因为我被人藐视. ”

1:12 Is it nothing to you, all who pass by? Look and see if there is sorrow like my sorrow, which was dealt to me, which Yahweh inflicted on the day of his wrath.
所有过路的人啊! 你们毫不在意吗? 你们要细察要观看, 有没有痛苦像我所受的痛苦, 就是耶和华在他发烈怒的日子使我所受的痛苦.

1:13 From heaven he sent fire, into my bones he let it descend. He spread out a net for my feet; he turned me back, he gave me devastation, fainting all day.
他从高天降火, 使火进入我的骨头里. 他设置网罗绊我的脚, 使我退去. 他使我孤单凄凉, 终日愁烦.

1:14 My rebellion was bound as a yoke, with his hand it was fastened together; it was put on my neck and caused my strength to fail. The Lord gave me into the hands of those whom I cannot withstand.
我的过犯像轭一样被绑好; 是他亲手缠绑的. 我的过犯加在我的颈上, 他使我的气力衰弱. 主把我交在我不能对抗的人手中.

1:15 The Lord has rejected all my mighty ones in my midst. He called an assembly against me, to crush my young men; like in a wine press, the Lord has trodden on the virgin daughter of Judah.
主丢弃我中间的所有勇士; 他招聚了一大群人来攻击我, 要打碎我的青年人. 主践踏犹大女儿中的处女, 像践踏压酒池一样.

1:16 For these things, I am weeping, my eyes flow with tears; because a comforter is far from me, one to restore my life. My sons are desolate because the enemy has prevailed.
为了这些事我不住哭泣, 我的眼不住流下泪水; 因为那安慰我,使我重新振作的, 都远离了我. 我的儿女孤单凄凉, 因为仇敌得胜了.

1:17 Zion stretches out her hands; there is no one to comfort her. Yahweh has commanded against Jacob, that those surrounding him should be his enemies; Jerusalem has become a defilement among them.
锡安伸出双手, 但没有人安慰她. 论到雅各, 耶和华已经下令, 使他四围的人都与他为敌; 耶路撒冷在他们中间, 已经成了不洁的东西.

1:18 Yahweh is righteous; I have rebelled against his word. Please hear, all the nations, And see my pain; My young women and young men went into captivity.
耶和华是公义的, 他这样待我, 是因为我违背了他的命令. 万民哪! 请你们听我的话! 看看我的痛苦! 我的少女和青年人都已经被掳去了.

1:19 I have called to my lovers, they themselves deceived me; my priests and elders perished in the city when they sought food for themselves to revive their life.
我向我所爱的人呼求, 他们却欺骗我. 我的祭司和长老为了延续生命, 寻找粮食的时候, 就在城中气绝身亡了.

1:20 See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress; my stomach is in torment, my heart has turned inside me because I have certainly rebelled. From outside a sword brings bereavement, inside the house it is like death.
耶和华啊! 你看, 患难临到我! 我的心肠激动, 我的心在我里面翻转, 因为我曾经非常悖逆. 街上有刀剑使人丧子, 屋里也有死亡.

1:21 They hear that I was groaning; there is no comforter for me. All my enemies have heard my misery, they are pleased that you have done it. Bring that day that you have proclaimed, And let them be like me.
有人听见我的唉哼, 却没有人安慰我, 我所有的仇敌都听见我的灾难; 你作了这事, 他们就欢乐. 愿你使你所宣告的日子来临那时, 他们就必像我一样.

1:22 Let all their evil come before you; and deal with them just as you have dealt with me because of all my crimes; for my groaning is much and my heart is faint.
愿他们的一切恶行都摆在你面前, 愿你对付他们, 好像你因我的一切过犯对付我一样. 因为我唉哼甚苦, 我心里愁烦.

Lamentations - Chapter 2

2:1 How, in his anger, the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion in a cloud! He has thrown down from heavens to earth the splendor of Israel, and he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
主在烈怒中, 怎么竟然使黑云遮盖锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)! 他把以色列的荣美, 从天上拋到地上; 他在发怒的日子, 竟不记念自己的脚凳.

2:2 The Lord has devoured; he has not shown mercy to all the dwellings of Jacob; he has broken down in his wrath the fortifications of the daughter of Judah; he has leveled to the ground, he has dishonored the kingdom and its commanders.
主吞灭了雅各所有住处, 毫不顾惜; 他在忿怒中, 把犹大居民的坚固城拆毁; 他使国家和国中众领袖都倒在地上, 受尽羞辱.

2:3 He has cut down in fierce anger all the might of Israel; he has withdrawn his right hand from the faces of the enemy, and he has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire, it has consumed all around.
他在烈怒中砍断以色列所有的角; 他从仇敌面前, 收回自己的右手. 他像吞灭四周物件的火焰, 在雅各中间焚烧.

2:4 He has bent his bow like an enemy; he has set his right hand like a foe, and he has slain all the treasures of the eye; in the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his anger like fire.
他像仇敌拉弓, 他的右手已经预备好. 他像敌人把一切悦人眼目的都杀灭了; 他如火的忿怒倒在锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的帐棚上.

2:5 The Lord has become like an enemy; he has destroyed Israel; he has destroyed all its citadel fortresses; he has ruined all its fortifications and multiplied lamentation and mourning in the daughter of Judah.
主好像成了仇敌; 他吞灭了以色列和她所有的宫殿, 毁坏了她的坚固城. 他在犹大居民的中间, 增添了悲哀和哭号.

2:6 He has broken down his dwelling place like the garden; he has ruined his appointed feasts; Yahweh has made them forget in Zion festival and Sabbath, and he has despised in his anger king and priest.
他把自己的住所破坏, 好像园子一样; 他毁坏了属他的聚会之处. 耶和华使节期和安息日都在锡安被忘记; 他在他的盛怒中弃绝了君王和祭司.

2:7 The Lord has rejected his altar; he has rejected his sanctuary; he has delivered into the hands of the enemy the walls of its citadel fortresses. They have cried out in the house of Yahweh like a day of an appointed feast.
主丢弃了自己的祭坛, 厌弃了自己的圣所. 他把宫殿的围墙, 交付在仇敌的手里; 他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷, 好像庆祝节日一样.

2:8 Yahweh has planned to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He measured with a line; he has not restrained his hand from destroying; he caused rampart and wall to mourn; together they have languished away.
耶和华定意要拆毁锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的城墙; 他拉了准绳, 决不停手, 务要把它吞灭. 他使堡垒和城墙都悲哀, 一同受痛苦.

2:9 Her gates have sunk into the earth; he has ruined and broken her bars, her kings and its princes are among the nations; there is no more law. Also, her prophets have not found a revelation from Yahweh.
锡安的众城门已经陷入地里; 耶和华把锡安的门闩都毁坏折断了. 锡安的君王和领袖都身在列国中; 锡安再没有律法了; 它的众先知也得不到从耶和华而来的异象.

2:10 They sit on the ground, the elders of the daughter of Zion are silent. They cast dust on their head, they have put on sackcloth; the young women of Jerusalem have bowed their head down to the ground.
锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的长老都坐在地上, 默默无声; 他们把尘灰撒在头上, 腰束麻布. 耶路撒冷的处女都垂头至地.

2:11 My eyes have spent all their tears; my stomach is in torment, my heart is poured out on the earth because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because child and babe faint in the public squares of a city.
我的眼睛因流泪而失明, 我的心肠激动, 我的肝胆倾倒在地, 都因我的子民(“我的子民”原文作“我子民的女子”)遭毁灭, 孩童和婴儿在城里的街上昏倒.

2:12 To their mothers they say, “Where is the bread and wine?” as they faint like the wounded in the public squares of a city, as their life is being poured out onto the bosom of their mothers.
他们像被刺伤的人昏倒在城里街上的时候, 他们在母亲的怀里快要丧命的时候, 他们就问母亲: “五谷和酒在哪里呢? ”

2:13 What can I say for you? What can I compare to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I liken you so that I can comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your destruction is as vast as the sea; who can heal you?
耶路撒冷的居民哪, 我怎样向你说明呢? 用什么与你比较呢? 锡安的居民哪, 我们用什么跟你相比, 好安慰你呢? 你的裂口像海那样大, 谁能医治你呢?

2:14 Your prophets had a vision for you, false and worthless; they have not exposed your sin, to restore your fortune; they have seen oracles for you, false and misleading.
你的假先知为了你所见的异象, 尽是虚谎和愚昧; 他们没有显露你的罪孽, 使你的命运得以挽回; 他们为你所得的默示, 全是虚谎, 是引人走错路的.

2:15 They clap hands over you, all who pass along the way; they hiss and they shake their head, at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city of which it is said, “A perfection of beauty, a joy for all the earth?”
所有过路的人, 都拍掌嘲笑你; 他们嗤笑耶路撒冷的居民, 并摇头说: “被人称为最完美, 为全地所喜悦的, 就是这城吗? ”

2:16 They have opened their mouths against you, all your enemies. They hiss and gnash a tooth, and they say, “We have destroyed her! Surely this is the day we have hoped for; we have found it, we have seen it!”
你所有的仇敌都张开口攻击你, 他们嗤笑你, 又咬牙切齿, 说: “我们吞灭它了! 这真是我们期待的日子! 我们等到了! 亲眼看见了! ”

2:17 Yahweh has done what he has planned; he has fulfilled his promise that he ordained from the days of old; he has demolished and not shown mercy; he has made an enemy rejoice over you, he has exalted the might of your foes.
耶和华作成了他定意去作的, 成就了他的话, 就是他昔日所宣告的, 他把你拆毁, 并不怜惜, 他使仇敌因胜过你而高兴, 他高举你敌人的角.

2:18 Their heart cried to the Lord, “O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears stream down like a river; day and night, do not give yourself relief, do not give your eyes rest.
锡安居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)的城墙啊, 你要一心向主哀求; 愿你的眼泪像江河般涌流, 昼夜不息; 愿你得不着歇息, 愿你眼中的瞳人不能休息.

2:19 “Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches; pour out your heart like water, before the face of the Lord. Lift to him your hands, for the life of your children, who faint in starvation, at the head of all streets.”
夜里每到交更的时分, 你要起来呼喊; 在主面前你要倾心如水! 你的孩童在各街头上因饥饿而昏倒, 你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告.

2:20 See, Yahweh, and take note! With whom have you dealt thus? Should women eat their young children of tender care? Should priest and prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
“耶和华啊, 求你观看! 求你鉴察! 你曾这样对待过谁呢? 难道妇人应该吃掉自己所生的, 就是自己所抚养的婴孩吗? 难道祭司和先知应该在主的圣所里被杀害吗? ”

2:21 They lie in the soil of the streets, young and old; my young women and young men, they have fallen by the sword; you have slain on the day of your anger, you have slaughtered and not shown mercy.
少年人和老年人都在街上倒卧在地死了; 我的年轻男女都倒毙于刀下; 在你忿怒的日子, 你杀了他们, 你屠杀了他们, 毫不怜惜.

2:22 You have summoned my horror from all around, as if for a feast day; no one on the day of Yahweh’s anger is a fugitive and a survivor; whoever I have cared for and reared, my enemy has destroyed.
你从四围招聚惊吓我的, 好像招聚人过节的日子一样. 在耶和华忿怒的日子, 没有人可以逃脱, 可以生存. 我所抚育,所养大的, 我的仇敌都灭尽了.

Ezekiel (以西结书)

第三十年四月五日, 我正在迦巴鲁河边的时候, 天开了, 我就看见神的异象; 那时, 我是在被掳的人中间.

在迦勒底人的地方, 迦巴鲁河边, 耶和华的话确实临到布西的儿子以西结祭司. 耶和华的手在那里临到他身上. )

我观望, 看见有狂风从北方刮来, 并有一块闪耀着火焰的很大的云, 云的周围有光芒, 在云中的火焰里, 好像有发光的金属.

1:9 their wings were touching one another; each of them went straight forward, without turning right or left.
它们的翅膀互相接触, 走动的时候, 不必转身, 都是朝着脸孔的方向行走.

1:10 The likeness of their faces was the face of a human in front, and the face of a lion on the right of each of them, and the face of an ox on the left of each of them, and the face of an eagle for each of them.
至于它们脸孔的形状, 四个活物都各有一个人的脸孔, 在右边各有一个狮子的脸孔, 在左边各有一个牛的脸孔, 此外各有一个鹰的脸孔;

1:11 So were their faces; their wings were spread out upward; each had two touching one another and two covering their bodies.
它们的脸孔就是这样. 它们向上展开翅膀, 各自用两个翅膀互相接触, 用两个翅膀遮蔽身体.

1:12 And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit went they went, and they did not turn as they went.
它们都是朝着脸孔的方向行走. 灵往哪里去, 它们就往哪里去. 它们走动的时候, 都不必转身.

1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. It was moving to and fro between the living creatures, and the fire was very bright and lightning was going out from the fire.
至于四个活物的形状, 样子像烧着的火炭, 又像火把. 火在四活物中间到处闪耀. 这火很明亮, 有闪电从火中发出.

1:14 And the living creatures were speeding to and fro like the appearance of lightning.
四个活物往来奔走, 好像闪电.

1:15 And I saw the living creatures, and look! A wheel was on the earth beside each of the living creatures that had four faces.
我观看那些活物的时候, 看见四个活物的旁边都有一个触地的轮子.

1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like the appearance of beryl, and they all looked alike, and their appearance and their construction was like a wheel within a wheel.
四个轮子的样子与构造都是一个形状, 它们好像闪耀的水苍玉, 又好像轮子套着轮子.

1:17 When they moved, they went toward their four sides; they did not veer at all as they went.
轮子可以向四方移动, 移动的时候, 不必转向.

1:18 And their rims were high and awesome, and all four of their rims were full of eyes all around.
轮辋很高, 十分可畏, 四个轮辋都布满了眼睛.

1:19 And at the going of the living creatures, the wheels next to them also went, and when the creatures were lifted from the ground the wheels also rose.
活物走动的时候, 它们旁边的轮子也随着移动. 活物从地上升起的时候, 轮子也随着升起.

1:20 Wherever the spirit went they would go there, and the wheels rose, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
灵往哪里去, 活物就往哪里去, 轮子也随着它们升起, 因为活物的灵是在轮子里面.

1:21 At their going, they go, and at their standing, they stood, and at their being lifted up from on the earth, the wheels rose, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
活物走动, 轮子也随着移动; 活物站着不动, 轮子也不动; 活物从地上升起, 轮子也随着升起, 因为活物的灵是在轮子里面.

1:22 Now the likeness above the heads of the living creatures was an expanse like the outward appearance of awesome ice spread out above their heads upward.
在活物的头顶上面, 有穹苍的形状, 好像闪耀的水晶, 十分可畏, 在活物的头顶上面张开.

1:23 And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight one toward the other; each had two wings covering them, and each had two wings covering their bodies.
在穹苍下面, 活物的翅膀伸直张开, 互相接触; 各自用两个翅膀遮蔽身体.

1:24 And I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the voice of Shaddai, and when they moved there was a sound of tumult like the sound of an army; when they stood still they lowered their wings.
活物走动的时候, 我听见它们翅膀的响声, 像洪水的声音, 也像全能者的声音, 又像军队喧嚷的声音. 它们站着不动的时候, 翅膀就垂下来.

1:25 And there was a sound from above the expanse that was above their heads, and when they stood they lowered their wings.
有声音从它们头顶上面的穹苍发出来; 它们站着不动的时候, 翅膀就垂下来.

1:26 And from above the expanse that was above their heads there was the likeness of a throne, looking like a sapphire, and above the likeness of the throne was a likeness similar to the appearance of a human on it, but above it.
在它们头顶的穹苍上面, 有宝座的形状, 好像蓝宝石的样子. 在宝座上面, 有一个样子像人的形象.

1:27 And I saw something like the outward appearance of amber, something like the appearance of fire, with a covering around it, from the likeness of his loins and upward. And from the likeness of his loins and downward I saw something like the appearance of fire, and it was radiant all around.
我看见在那仿佛是他腰部以上, 好像闪耀的金属, 又好像有火四面包围. 在那仿佛是他腰部以下, 我又看见好像有火, 光芒环绕着他.

1:28 Like the appearance of a bow that is in the cloud on a rainy day, such was the radiance around it; thus was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
下雨的日子, 云中彩虹的样子怎样, 环绕他的光芒的样子也怎样. 这就是耶和华荣耀的形状的样子. 我一看见, 就俯伏在地上, 跟着听见有说话的声音.

他们或听或不听(他们原是叛逆的民族), 也必知道在他们中间有一位先知.

2:6 And you, son of man, you must not be afraid of them, and you must not be afraid of their words, because briers and thorns are with you, and you are sitting among scorpions. You must not be afraid of their words, and you must not be dismayed because of their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
“人子啊! 至于你, 虽然荆棘和蒺藜在你周围, 你又住在蝎子群中, 你不要怕他们, 也不要怕他们讲的话. 他们原是叛逆的民族, 你总不要怕他们讲的话, 在他们面前, 也不要惊惶.

他们或听或不听, 你只要把我的话告诉他们, 他们原是叛逆的.

不是到说话难明,言语难懂的众多民族那里去, 他们的话是你听不懂的. 但是, 如果我差派你到他们那里去, 他们必听从你.

你去, 到被掳的人民那里, 向他们宣讲; 他们或听或不听, 你只要对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说. ’”

于是我来到提勒．亚毕被掳的人那里, 他们住在迦巴鲁河边. 我在他们居住的地方坐了七天, 在他们中间震惊得不知所措.

3:16 And then it happened at the end of seven days, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
过了七天, 耶和华的话临到我说:

3:17 “Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, then you must warn them from me.
“人子啊, 我立了你作以色列家守望的人, 所以你要聆听我口中的话, 替我警告他们.

3:18 When I say to the wicked, ‘Surely you will die,’ and you do not warn him and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way so that he may live, that wicked person will die because of his guilt, and from your hand I will seek his blood.
如果我对恶人说: ‘你必定死亡! ’你却不警告他, 也不警戒他离开恶行, 好救他的性命, 这恶人就必因自己的罪孽死亡. 但我要因他的死追究你.

如果你警告恶人, 他仍不离开他的罪恶和他的恶行, 他就必因自己的罪孽死亡, 你却救了自己的性命.

3:20 And when the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, and I place a stumbling block before him, he will die, for you did not warn him. Because of his sin he will die, and his righteousness that he did will not be remembered, and his blood I shall seek from your hand.
如果义人偏离正义, 行事邪恶, 我必把绊脚石放在他面前, 他必定死亡; 因为你没有警告他, 他必因自己的罪死亡. 他素常所行的义, 也必不被记念. 但我要因他的死追究你.

3:21 And if you warn him, the righteous, not to sin, and the righteous does not sin, surely he will live, for he heeded a warning. And you will have saved your life.”
如果你警告义人不要犯罪, 他就不犯罪. 他因为接受警告, 就必存活, 你也救了自己的性命. ”

3:22 And the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Rise up, go out to the valley, and there I will speak with you.”
耶和华的手在那里临到我身上, 他对我说: “你起来, 出到平原去, 在那里我要向你说话. ”

3:23 And I rose up, and I went to the valley, and, look, there the glory of Yahweh was standing, like the glory that I saw near the Kebar River, and I fell on my face.
于是, 我起来, 出到平原去, 看见耶和华的荣耀停在那里, 这荣耀就像我在迦巴鲁河边看见的一样. 于是我俯伏在地.

3:24 And the Spirit came into me, and it made me stand on my feet, and he spoke with me and said to me, “Come, shut yourself inside your house,
灵进到我里面, 使我站立起来, 耶和华对我说: “你进去, 把自己关在家里.

3:25 and you, son of man, look, they will place cords on you, and they will tie you up with them. Then you will not go out into the midst of them.
人子啊! 人要用绳子把你捆绑起来, 使你不能出到他们中间去.

我要使你的舌头贴住上膛, 使你变成哑巴, 不能作责备他们的人, 因为他们是叛逆的民族.

3:27 And when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The one hearing him, let him hear, and the one failing to hear, let him fail,” ’ for they are a rebellious house.
但我对你说话的时候, 我必开你的口, 你就要对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说. ’肯听的就让他听, 不肯听的, 就由他不听吧, 因为他们是叛逆的民族. ”

你又要拿一个铁的煎盘, 放在你和城的中间当作铁墙. 你要面向着城, 象征城要被围困, 你就是围攻那城的. 这要作以色列家的预兆.

“你要向左边侧卧, 承担以色列家的罪孽. 你向左边侧卧多少日子, 你担当他们的罪孽也是多少日子.

我已经给你定了日子的数目, 就是三百九十天, 等于他们作孽的年数, 你要在这些日子担当以色列家的罪孽.

这些日子满了以后, 你要再向右边侧卧, 担当犹大家的罪孽, 我已经给你定了四十天, 一天等于一年.

我要用绳子把你捆绑起来, 使你不能转身, 直等到你围困城的日子满了.

4:9 “And you, take for yourself wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt, and you must put them in one vessel, and you must make them for yourself into a food during the number of days that you are lying on your side; three hundred and ninety days you shall eat it.
“你要拿小麦,大麦,豆子,扁豆,粟米和粗麦, 放在一个器皿里, 给自己做饼. 在你侧卧的三百九十天里, 你都要吃这些饼.

4:14 And I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look! I have not been defiling myself, and a dead body and mangled carcass I have not eaten from my childhood until now, and unclean meat has not come into my mouth!”
我说: “主耶和华啊! 我从来没有玷污过自己. 我从小到现在都没有吃过已经死去的, 或是野兽撕裂的动物, 不洁净的肉从没有进过我的口. ”

4:15 And he said to me, “See I will give you cattle manure in the place of the feces of a human, and you may prepare your food on it.”
于是他对我说: “你看, 我准你用牛粪代替人粪, 你可以在牛粪上烤你的饼. ”

他们缺粮缺水, 各人都必惊惶, 因自己的罪孽衰弱而死. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 5

“人子啊! 你要拿一把利剑, 当作理发匠的剃刀, 剃你的头和刮你的胡子, 把须发放在天平上称, 然后把它们分成几分.

5:2 A third you must burn with fire in the midst of the city at the completion of the days of the siege, and you must take a third, and you must strike it with the sword around it, and a third you must scatter to the wind, and I will draw a sword behind them.
围困这城的日子满了, 你要拿须发的三分之一在城中用火烧掉, 又拿三分之一在城的周围用刀剁碎, 三分之一撒在风中, 我还要拔刀追赶它们.

5:3 And you must take from these a few in number, and you must tuck them in your hem.
你要在这些须发中取几根, 用你的衣角把它们包起来.

5:4 And from them again you shall take some, and you must throw them in the middle of the fire, and you must burn them with fire; from it a fire will go out to all of the house of Israel.
再从这几根须发中取一部分投在火里焚烧; 火必从那里蔓延到以色列全家. ”

5:5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations where I have put her, and countries are around her.
主耶和华这样说: “这就是耶路撒冷! 我曾把她安置在列国中间, 万邦环绕着她.

5:6 But she has rebelled against my regulations to the point of wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they rejected my regulations, and as for my statutes, they did not walk in them.
但她违背我的典章, 行恶胜过列国; 触犯我的律例, 比环绕着她的万邦更坏. 她弃绝我的典章, 不遵行我的律例. ”

5:7 Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of your commotion more than the nations that are around you—you did not walk in my statutes, and you did not do my regulations, and according to the regulations of the nations that are around you, you did not do.
主耶和华这样说: “你们比你们四围的列国更叛逆, 不遵行我的律例, 不遵守我的典章, 连你们四围列国的法规你们也不遵守. ”

5:8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Look! I, even I, am against you, and I will execute judgment in the midst of you before the eyes of the nations,
所以, 主耶和华这样说: “看哪! 我要敌对你. 我要在你中间, 在列国的眼前, 施行审判.

5:9 and I will do with you that which I have not done, and which I will not do again, because of all of your detestable things.
我要因你一切可憎的事在你中间施行我未曾行过, 以后也不会这样施行的审判.

5:10 Therefore parents will eat children in the midst of you, and children will eat their parents, and I will execute judgment in you, and I will scatter your entire remnant to every wind.
因此, 在你中间, 父亲要吃儿子, 儿子要吃父亲. 我要向你施行审判, 把你余剩的众人分散到四方去.

5:11 Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh, Surely because you have defiled my sanctuary with all of your vile idols and with all of your detestable things, now indeed I will reduce, and my eye will not take pity, and surely I will show no compassion.
“我指着我的永生起誓(这是主耶和华的宣告), 你既然用你一切可憎的偶像和一切可厌的事来玷污我的圣所, 我必收回对你的恩宠, 我的眼必不顾惜你, 我也不怜恤你.

5:12 A third of you will die because of the plague, and because of the famine they will perish in the midst of you, and a third will fall through the sword around you, and a third I will scatter to every direction of the wind, and I will draw the sword behind them.
你的人民三分之一必在你中间因瘟疫死亡, 因饥荒消灭; 三分之一必在你周围因刀剑倒毙; 三分之一, 我要分散到四方去, 我还要拔刀追赶他们.

5:13 And my anger will come to an end, and I will place my rage on them, and I will relent, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my passion when I fully vent my rage against them.
“这样我的怒气才可以发尽, 我向他们所发的烈怒才可以平息, 自己才得到舒畅. 我向他们所发的烈怒完全发尽的时候, 他们就知道我耶和华说过的话是出于嫉恨的心.

5:14 And I will make you into a desolate place and into a disgrace among the nations that surround you before the eyes of every one who passes by.
我要使你变成荒地, 使你在你四围的列国中和在所有路过的人眼前, 成为羞辱的对象.

5:15 And it will be an object of taunting and an object of mockery, a warning and a horror to the nations that are around you whenever I execute judgments against you in anger and in wrath and in furious punishments! I, Yahweh, have spoken!
我以怒气,烈怒和忿怒的责备向你施行审判的时候, 你就必在你四围的列国中成为羞辱,讥讽和令人惊骇的对象, 也成了他们的警戒. 这是我耶和华说的.

5:16 When I send my arrows of deadly famine against them, which will be as destruction that I will send in order to destroy you, I will increase famine against you, and I will break the supply of food for you.
我射出饥荒和毁灭的毒箭的时候, 是为了毁灭你们. 我要使你们的饥荒加剧, 断绝你们粮食的供应.

5:17 And I will send against you famine and fierce animals, and they will make you childless; and plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I, Yahweh, I have spoken!”
我要差遣饥荒和恶兽到你们那里去, 使你丧掉儿女; 在你中间必到处发生瘟疫和流血的事; 我也必使刀剑临到你. 这是我耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 6

6:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

6:2 “Son of man, set your face to the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them,
“人子啊! 你要面向以色列的群山说预言,

6:3 and you must say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys: “Look, I am bringing upon you the sword, and I will destroy your high places,
说: ‘以色列的群山, 当听主耶和华的话! 主耶和华对大山,小山,溪涧和山谷这样说: 看哪! 我必使刀剑临到你, 毁灭你们的邱坛.

6:4 and your altars will be desolate, and your incense altars will be broken, and I will throw down your slain ones before your idols,
你们的祭坛必然荒废, 你们的香坛要被打碎; 我要使你们被杀的人倒在你们的偶像面前.

6:5 and I will place the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
我要把以色列人的尸体放在他们的偶像面前, 又把你们的骸骨拋散在你们祭坛的周围.

6:6 In all of your dwellings, the cities will be desolate and the high places will be ruined, so that your altars will be desolate and will suffer punishment. Your idols will be broken and will come to an end, and your incense altars will be cut down, and your works will be destroyed,
在你们居住的一切地方, 城镇都必荒凉, 邱坛都必荒废, 以致你们的祭坛荒废被弃, 你们的偶像被打碎,被消灭, 你们的香坛要被砍下, 你们所制造的要被除灭;

6:7 and the slain one will fall in the midst of you, and then you will know that I am Yahweh.
被杀的人必倒在你们中间, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

6:8 But I will spare some, so there will be for you fugitives from the sword among the nations when you are scattered in the countries.
“‘但我要保留一些余剩的人, 你们分散在各地的时候, 你们必有人在列国中从刀剑下逃出来.

6:9 And your fugitives will remember me among the nations to which they were taken captive, that I was shattered by their adulterous heart which departed from me, and by their adulterous eyes which went after their idols, and they will feel loathing for themselves, for the evil that they did, for all of their detestable things.
那时, 逃脱的人必在被掳去的列国中想起我怎样为了他们而伤痛, 因为他们动了淫乱的心离弃我, 他们邪淫的眼恋慕偶像; 那时他们必为了自己所行的恶事和他们一切可憎的事厌恶自己.

6:10 And they will know that I am Yahweh; not in vain I spoke to bring to them this evil.” ’
他们必知道我是耶和华, 我说要降这灾祸在他们身上的话并不是空话. ’”

6:11 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Clap your hand and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas, for all of the detestable things of the evil of the house of Israel, because of which they will fall with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague.
主耶和华这样说: “你要拍手顿足, 说: ‘哀哉! 因以色列家一切可憎的恶事, 他们必倒在刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫之下. ’

6:12 The one who is far away will die by the plague, and the one who is near will fall by the sword, and the one who is being left behind and being spared will die by the famine, and I will complete my rage on them.
在远处的必因瘟疫死亡, 在近处的必倒在刀剑之下, 那余下被围困的也必因饥荒死亡. 我必这样在他们身上完全发尽我的烈怒.

6:13 And you will know that I am Yahweh when their slain ones are in the midst of their idols around their altars at every high hill, on the tops of all the mountains and under every green tree and under every leafy oak—the place at which they gave a pleasing scent for all of their idols.
他们被杀的人倒在他们偶像的中间, 在他们祭坛的周围, 就是在各高冈各山顶上, 在每一棵翠绿的树下和茂盛的橡树下, 就是他们献馨香的祭给一切偶像的地方. 那时, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

6:14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land a desolation and a wasteland from the desert to Riblah in all of their dwellings, and they will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
我必伸手攻击他们, 使他们一切居住的地方, 从旷野到第伯拉他, 都变成非常荒凉, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 7

7:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

7:2 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel: ‘The end comes, the end on the four corners of the land.
“人子啊! 主耶和华对以色列地这样说: ‘终局到了! 终局临到这地的四境了!

7:3 Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all your detestable things.
现在终局已经临到你了. 我要发怒攻击你, 按着你的行为审判你, 照着你一切可憎的事报应你.

7:4 And my eye will not take pity on you, and I will not show compassion for your ways; on you I will bring your detestable things; they will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.’
我的眼必不顾惜你, 我也不怜恤你, 我却要按着你的行为, 照着你中间可憎的事报应你, 你们就知道我是耶和华. ’

7:5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! Disaster after disaster is coming!
主耶和华这样说: ‘看哪, 独特的灾祸, 临到了!

7:6 The end comes, comes the end! It has awakened against you! Look! It comes!
终局到了, 终局临到了, 它已经起来跟你作对. 看哪, 它临到了!

7:7 Doom is coming against you, the dweller of the land; the time comes, the day is near, panic and not joy is on the mountains.
这地的居民哪, 灾害临到你了! 时候到了, 日子近了, 是混乱喧嚷的日子, 不是山上欢呼的日子.

7:8 Soon I will pour out my rage on you, and I will fully vent my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all of your detestable things.
现在我快要把我的烈怒倒在你身上, 向你完全发尽我的怒气. 我要按着你的行为审判你, 照着你一切可憎的事报应你.

7:9 And my eye will not take pity, and I will not show compassion. According to your ways I will deal with you, and your detestable things will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh who strikes.
我的眼必不顾惜, 我也不怜恤. 我却要按着你的行为, 照着你中间可憎的事报应你, 你们就知道击打你们的是我耶和华.

7:10 Look! The day is coming; doom goes out, the staff blossoms, pride sprouts.
“‘看哪, 这日子到了! 灾害已经发出, 杖已经开花, 狂傲已经发芽.

7:11 Violence has grown to become a staff of wickedness; none from them will remain, and none from their abundance nor from their wealth; and prominence will not be among them.
强暴兴起, 成了惩罚邪恶的杖, 他们无一存留, 他们的群众都不在了. 他们的财富没有了, 他们中间也没有尊荣.

7:12 The time has come, the day has arrived; let not the buyer rejoice, and let the seller not mourn, for anger is on all their multitude.
时候到了, 日子近了, 买的不必欢喜, 卖的不用忧愁; 因为烈怒要临到众人身上.

7:13 For the seller will not return to the merchandise while they are still alive, for the vision is about all of its multitude; it will not change, and a man because of his guilt will not be able to hold onto his life.
卖的人虽然还活着, 却不能得回所卖的. 因为这个关乎众人的异象必不更改. 因为罪孽的缘故, 没有人能保全自己的性命.

7:14 They shall blow on the trumpet and prepare everything, but there is no one going to the battle, for my anger is on all of their multitude.
“‘他们吹了号角, 准备了一切, 却没有人出去作战; 因为我的烈怒要临到众人身上.

7:15 The sword is outside, and the plague and the famine are inside; the one who is in the field will die by the sword, and the one who is in the city, famine and plague will devour him.
城外有刀剑, 城内有瘟疫和饥荒; 在田野的必死在刀下, 在城里的必被饥荒和瘟疫吞灭.

7:16 And if their survivors will escape, they will be on the mountains, like the doves of the valley, all of them groaning, each because of his guilt.
他们中间逃脱的, 必因自己的罪孽在山上发出哀声, 像谷中的鸽子哀鸣一样.

7:17 All of the hands will hang limp, and all of the knees will be wet with urine.
他们的手都发软, 他们的膝像水一般软弱.

7:18 And they will wear sackcloth, and horror will cover them, and on all of the faces will be shame, and baldness on all of their heads.
他们必用麻布束腰, 战兢把他们遮盖, 各人的脸上满是羞愧, 各人的头上都光秃.

7:19 Their silver they will discard on the streets, and filth will be their gold; their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them on the day of the wrath of Yahweh. They will not satisfy their hunger and their stomachs they will not fill, for their guilt will be their stumbling block.
他们要把自己的银子拋在街上, 把自己的金子当作污秽之物. 在耶和华发怒的日子, 他们的金银不能拯救他们, 不能满足他们的心, 也不能填满他们的肚腹, 因为这些金银都成了叫他们落在罪孽里的绊脚石.

7:20 “ ‘And the beauty of its ornament he made into a prideful thing and made with it their detestable things and their vile idols; therefore I will make it into an impure thing for them.
他们以美丽的饰物为夸耀, 又用这些来铸造可憎可厌的偶像, 因此我要使它们成为污秽之物.

7:21 And I will give it into the hand of strangers as plunder and to the wicked people of the earth as spoil, and they will defile it.
我要把它们交在外族人的手里作掠物, 给地上的恶人作战利品, 他们必亵渎这些东西.

7:22 And I will turn my face from them, and they will defile my treasured place, and violent ones will enter and defile it.
我必转脸不看他们, 让他们亵渎我的圣所. 强盗要进那里去, 亵渎那地方.

7:23 Make a chain for the land; it is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.
你要制造锁链, 因为这地满了血腥(“血腥”或译: “流血的审判”), 这城满了强暴.

7:24 And I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will take possession of their houses, and I will put to an end the pride of the mighty ones, and their sanctuaries will be defiled.
我要使列国中最凶恶的人来占领他们的房屋; 我要止息强盛者的骄傲, 他们的圣所都被亵渎.

7:25 Anguish comes, and they will seek peace, and there will be none.
惊恐临到, 他们就求平安, 却得不着.

7:26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor will be upon rumor. And they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction will perish from the priest and counsel from the elders.
灾祸加上灾祸, 坏消息加上坏消息, 不绝而来, 他们要向先知求异象, 但是, 祭司的教训,长老的指导, 都必断绝,

7:27 The king will mourn, and the prince will be dressed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their way I will do to them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
君王要悲哀, 官长要把凄凉当作衣服穿上, 那地人民的手都要发颤. 我要按着他们的行为待他们, 按着他们审判的法则审判他们, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 8

8:1 And then in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me. And the hand of the Lord Yahweh fell on me there,
第六年六月五日, 我坐在家中, 犹大的众长老也坐在我面前, 在那里主耶和华的灵降在我身上.

8:2 and I saw, and look! A figure like the appearance of a man; from the appearance of his waist and below was fire, and from his waist and upward was like the appearance of brightness, like the outward appearance of amber.
我观看, 见有一形状好像人的样子, 在那仿佛是他腰部以下, 有火的样子, 在那仿佛是他腰部的以上有光辉的样子, 好像闪耀的金属.

8:3 And he sent out the form of a hand, and he took me by a lock of hair of my head, and the Spirit lifted me between earth and heaven, and it brought me to Jerusalem in visions of God to the doorway of the inner gate that faced north, at which there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which was making jealous.
他伸出一只形状像手的东西, 抓住我的一绺头发; 灵就把我提到天地之间, 在神的异象中, 他把我带往耶路撒冷, 到圣殿北门内院的入口处, 在那里有令神愤恨的偶像的座位.

8:4 And look! There was the glory of the God of Israel like the vision that I saw in the valley.
不料, 在那里有以色列神的荣耀, 形状与我在平原所见的一样.

8:5 And he said to me, “Son of man, lift up now your eyes toward the north.” And I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and, look, there was to the north of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy at the entrance.
他对我说: “人子啊! 举目向北观看. ”我就举目向北观看, 见祭坛门的北面, 在入口的地方, 有令神愤恨的偶像.

8:6 And he said to me, “Son of man, “Do you see what they are doing—great detestable things that the house of Israel is committing here so as to drive me from my sanctuary, and yet you will see again greater detestable things.”
他又对我说: “人子啊! 以色列家在这里所行的, 就是他们行这极其可憎的事, 使我远离我的圣所, 你看见了吗? 但你还要看见更加可憎的事. ”

8:7 And he brought me to the doorway of the courtyard, and I saw, and look! A hole in the wall.
他领我到院子的门口; 我观看, 见墙上有一个洞.

8:8 And he said to me, “Son of man, dig now through the wall.” And I dug through the wall, and look! There was a doorway.
他对我说: “人子啊, 挖墙吧! ”我就挖墙, 不料, 见有一道门.

8:9 And he said to me, “Come and see the detestable things, the evil that they are doing here.
他对我说: “你进去, 看看他们在那里所行可憎的恶事. ”

8:10 And I came, and I saw, and look, all kinds of creatures and detestable beasts; and all of the idols of the house of Israel were carved on the wall all around.
于是我进去观看, 见四围的墙上刻着各种形状的爬行物, 和可憎恶的走兽, 以及以色列家所有的偶像.

8:11 And seventy men from the elders of the house of Israel, and Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing in the midst of them, and they were standing before them. Each one had his censer in his hand, and the fragrance of the cloud of the incense was going up.
站在这些像面前的有以色列家的七十个长老, 沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在他们中间; 各人手里拿着自己的香炉, 香的烟往上升.

8:12 And he said to me, “Have you seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, each in the inner rooms of his idol, for they are saying, ‘Yahweh is not seeing us; Yahweh has abandoned the land.’ ”
他对我说: “人子啊! 以色列家的众长老各在自己偶像的房间里暗中所行的, 你看见了吗? 他们说: ‘耶和华看不见我们, 耶和华已经离开这地了. ’”

8:13 And he said to me, “Still you will see again greater detestable things that they are doing.”
他又对我说: “你还要看见他们行更加可憎的事. ”

8:14 And he brought me to the doorway of the gate of the house of Yahweh that is toward the north, and look! There were the women sitting weeping for Tammuz.
他领我到耶和华殿朝北的门口, 在那里有些妇女坐着, 为搭模斯哭泣.

8:15 And he said to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Still you will see again greater detestable things than these.”
他对我说: “人子啊, 你看见了吗? 你还要看见比这些更可憎的事. ”

8:16 And he brought me to the inner courtyard of the house of Yahweh, and look, at the doorway of the temple of Yahweh, between the portico and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing down toward the east before the sun.
他又领我到耶和华殿的内院, 在耶和华殿的门口, 就是在走廊和祭坛中间, 约有二十五个人, 背向耶和华的殿, 面向着东方; 他们正在朝着东面叩拜太阳.

8:17 And he said to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Was it too small a thing for the house of Judah to do the detestable things that they did here? For they filled up the land with violence, and they provoked me to anger again, and look! They are putting the branch to their nose.
他对我说: “人子啊, 你看见了吗? 犹大家在这里行这可憎的事, 还算小事吗? 他们使这地充满了强暴, 再三惹我发怒; 看哪! 他们把树枝拿到自己的鼻前.

8:18 And so I will act in rage, and my eye will not take pity, and I will not have compassion, and they will cry in my ear with a loud voice, and I will not hear them.”
因此我要以烈怒待他们; 我的眼必不顾惜, 我也不怜恤; 他们虽然在我耳中大声呼求, 我还是不听他们. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 9

9:1 And he called in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “They have come near, the punishers of the city, and each with his weapon of destruction in his hand.
我听见他大声呼叫说: “惩罚这城的啊! 你们要近前来, 各人手里拿着灭命的武器. ”

9:2 And look! Six men coming from the way of the upper gate that faced northward, and each with his weapon for shattering in his hand; and one man was in the midst of them, dressed in linen, and the writing case of the scribe was at his side. And they came and stood beside the bronze altar.
忽然, 有六个人从朝北的上门那边走来, 各人手里拿着杀人的武器; 他们中间有一个人身穿细麻布衣服, 腰间带着墨盒子; 他们进来, 站在铜祭坛旁边.

9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel lifted itself up from upon the cherub that he was on and went to the threshold of the house, and he called to the man who was clothed in linen with a scribal writing case at his side.
以色列神的荣耀本来是在基路伯上面的, 现在从那里移到殿的门槛; 耶和华把那身穿细麻布衣服, 腰间带着墨盒子的人召来,

9:4 And Yahweh said to him, “Go through in the midst of the city, in the midst of Jerusalem, and you must place a mark on the foreheads of the men who are groaning and lamenting about all of the detestable things that are being done in the midst of her.”
对他说: “你要走遍耶路撒冷全城, 那些因城中所行的一切可憎的事而叹息悲哀的人, 你要在他们的额上画个记号. ”

9:5 And to the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city behind him and kill! Your eyes shall not take pity, and you shall not have compassion.
我又听见他对其余的人说: “你们要跟随他走遍那城, 进行杀戮; 你们的眼不要顾惜, 你们也不要怜恤.

9:6 You must kill totally old man, young man and young woman, and little children and women, but concerning every man with the mark on him you must not approach; and from my sanctuary you must begin.” And they began with the old men who were before the house.
你们要从我的圣所开始, 把老年人,少年人,少女,孩童和妇女都杀尽灭绝, 只是那些额上有记号的人, 你们都不可伤害. ”于是他们从殿前那些长老开始杀戮.

9:7 And he said to them, “Defile the house and fill the courtyards with the dead; go out! And they went out, and they killed in the city.
他又对他们说: “你们要玷污这殿, 使这些院子充满被杀的人; 你们出去吧! ”于是他们出去, 在城中进行杀戮.

9:8 And then as they were striking, and I was left behind, I fell on my face, and I cried out, and I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! “Will you be destroying all of the remnant of Israel while you pour out your rage on Jerusalem?”
他们杀戮的时候, 只留下我一个人, 我就脸伏在地, 呼叫说: “哎, 主耶和华啊! 难道你要向耶路撒冷倾倒你的烈怒, 使所有以色列余剩的人都灭绝么? ”

9:9 And he said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is filled with bloodguilt, and the city is full of injustice. For they say Yahweh abandoned the land, and Yahweh does not see.
他对我说: “以色列家和犹大家罪大恶极, 地上充满血腥, 城内充满不义, 因为他们说: ‘耶和华已经离开这地, 他看不见我们了! ’

9:10 And I, my eye will not take pity, and I will not have compassion; their way I will bring on their head.”
因此, 我的眼必不顾惜, 我也必不怜恤; 我要把他们所行的报应在他们的头上. ”

9:11 And look! The man clothed in linen and with a writing case at his side was bringing back a word, saying, “I have done all that you commanded me.”
那身穿细麻布衣服, 腰间带着墨盒子的人回报这事, 说: “我已经照着你所吩咐我的行了. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 10

10:1 And I looked, and look! On the expanse that was above the head of the cherubim something like a stone of sapphire, and like the appearance of the shape of a throne it appeared above them.
我观看, 见基路伯头顶以上的穹苍, 有好像蓝宝石宝座的形状, 显现出来.

10:2 And he spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, “Go in among the wheel area under the cherubim and fill the hollow of your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and toss them on the city.” And he went right before my eyes.
主对那身穿细麻布衣服的人说: “你进到基路伯以下的轮子之间那里去; 从基路伯之间, 用两手捧满火炭, 然后把它们撒在城上. ”他就在我眼前进去了.

10:3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south of the temple when the man went, and the cloud filled the inner courtyard.
那人进去的时候, 基路伯站在殿的右边, 云彩充满了内院.

10:4 And the glory of Yahweh rose up from on the cherub toward the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.
耶和华的荣耀从基路伯上面升到殿的门槛那里; 殿里充满了云彩, 院子也充满了耶和华荣耀的光辉.

10:5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer courtyard; it was like the voice of God Shaddai when he speaks.
基路伯的翅膀发出的声音在外院也可以听到, 好像全能的神说话的声音.

10:6 And then at his command to the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheel area from among the cherubim,” he went and stood beside the wheel.
他吩咐那身穿细麻布衣服的人说: “你要从轮子之间, 就是从基路伯之间取火. ”那人就进去, 站在一个轮子的旁边.

10:7 Then the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim toward the fire that was among the cherubim, and he lifted up and gave it into the hollow of the hand of the man clothed with linen, and he took it, and he went out.
有一个基路伯从众基路伯之间, 伸手到他们中间的火那里去, 取了些火, 放在那身穿细麻布衣服的人手中; 那人拿了火, 就出去了.

10:8 And there appeared for the cherubim the form of a human hand under their wings.
在那些基路伯的翅膀下面, 可以看见人手的形状.

10:9 And I saw, and look, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like the outward appearance of turquoise stone.
我观看, 见众基路伯旁边有四个轮子; 每一个基路伯旁边都有一个轮子; 轮子的样子好像闪耀的水苍玉.

10:10 Their appearance was the same for each of the four of them, as if the wheel was in the midst of a wheel.
四个轮子的样子, 都是一个形状, 好像轮子套着轮子.

10:11 When they went to the four of their directions that they went, they did not change direction when they went, for the place to which the head turned, they went behind him; they did not change direction at their going.
轮子可以向四方移动, 移动的时候, 不必转向; 基路伯面向哪一个方向走, 它们就跟着移动; 移动的时候, 不必转向.

10:12 And their whole body, and their rims, and their spokes, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels for the four of them.
基路伯的全身,背,手和翅膀, 以及那些轮子, 都布满了眼睛; 四个基路伯的轮子都是这样.

10:13 Concerning the wheels, he was calling them “the wheelwork” in my hearing.
至于那些轮子, 我听见它们称为“旋转的轮子”.

10:14 And each one had four faces; the face of the one was the face of a cherub, and the face of the second was the face of a human, and the face of the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.
每一个基路伯各有四个脸孔: 第一是基路伯的脸孔, 第二是人的脸孔, 第三是狮子的脸孔, 第四是鹰的脸孔.

10:15 And the cherubim rose; that is, the living creatures that I saw at the Kebar River.
后来基路伯也升起(这些就是我在迦巴鲁河边所看见的活物).

10:16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels beside them went; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to rise up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn aside from beside them.
基路伯移动的时候, 轮子也在他们旁边移动; 基路伯展开翅膀飞离地面的时候, 轮子也不离开他们.

10:17 When they stood, they stood, and at their rising, they rose with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
他们站着不动, 轮子也不动; 他们升起的时候, 轮子也与他们一同上升, 因为活物的灵是在轮子里面.

10:18 And the glory of Yahweh went out from the threshold of the temple, and it stood above the cherubim.
以后, 耶和华的荣耀离开殿的门槛, 停在基路伯上面.

10:19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and they rose from the earth before my eyes. At their going out, the wheels were beside them. And he stood at the doorway of the eastern gate of the temple of Yahweh, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
基路伯离开的时候, 他们在我眼前展开翅膀, 飞离地面, 轮子也与他们一起; 他们停在耶和华殿的东门口, 在他们上面有以色列神的荣耀.

10:20 This was the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel at the Kebar River, and I knew that they were cherubim.
这些是我在迦巴鲁河边所看见,在以色列神荣耀下面的活物, 我就知道他们是基路伯.

10:21 Each one had four faces, and there were four wings for each, and the likeness of human hands was under their wings.
四个基路伯各有四个脸孔, 四个翅膀; 在翅膀下面有人手的形状.

10:22 And the likeness of their faces, they were the faces that I saw at the Kebar River; thus was their appearance, and they each went straight ahead.
至于他们脸孔的形状, 就像我从前在迦巴鲁河边所看见的一样. 他们每个都是朝着脸孔的方向行走.

Ezekiel - Chapter 11

11:1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and it brought me to the eastern gate, the one facing east, of the temple of Yahweh. And look, there were twenty-five men in the doorway of the gate, and I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur in the midst of them, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the commanders of the people.
灵把我提起来, 带到耶和华殿朝东的东门; 在门口那里有二十五个人; 我看见他们中间有人民的领袖押朔的儿子雅撒尼亚和比拿雅的儿子毗拉提.

11:2 And he said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise mischief, and who are offering bad counsel in this city,
耶和华对我说: “人子啊! 这些就是图谋罪孽, 在这城里设恶谋的人.

11:3 who are saying, “The building of houses is not near; the city is the pot, and we are the flesh.
他们说: ‘建造房屋的时候还没有到; 这城是锅, 我们是肉. ’

11:4 Therefore prophesy against them! Prophesy, son of man!”
因此, 人子啊! 你要说预言, 要说预言攻击他们. ”

11:5 And the Spirit of Yahweh fell on me, and he said to me, “Say, ‘thus says Yahweh: “This is what you think, house of Israel, and I myself know them, the thoughts of your spirit.
耶和华的灵降在我身上, 他对我说: “你要说: ‘耶和华这样说: 以色列家啊! 你们口里所说,心中所想的, 我都知道.

11:6 You made your slain ones numerous in this city, and you have filled its streets with slain ones.” ’
你们在这城里杀了许多人, 使街道满了死人.

11:7 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Your slain ones whom you put in its midst, they are the flesh, and it is the pot, and I will bring you out from its midst.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: 你们弃置在城中的死人就是肉, 这城就是锅; 至于你们, 却要从城中被赶出去.

11:8 The sword you have feared, and the sword I will bring against you!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
你们惧怕刀剑, 我就使刀剑临到你们, 这是主耶和华的宣告.

11:9 “And I will bring you out from its midst, and I will give you into the hand of strangers, and I will execute judgments against you.
我要把你们从城中赶出去, 交在外族人的手里; 我要向你们施行审判.

11:10 By the sword you will fall at the border of Israel; I will judge you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
你们必倒在刀下, 我必审判你们, 直到以色列的边境; 你们就知道我是耶和华.

11:11 It will not be as a pot to you, and so you would be in the midst of it as flesh, for at the border of Israel I will judge you.
这城必不作你们的锅, 你们也必不作其中的肉. 我必审判你们直到以色列的边境;

11:12 And you will know that I am Yahweh, whose rules you did not follow, and whose regulations you did not do, but according to the regulations of the nations that are around you, you acted.” ’
你们就知道我是耶和华. 这是因为你们没有遵行我的律例, 也没有遵守我的典章, 却效法你们周围列国的习俗去行. ’”

11:13 And it happened that as I was prophesying, Pelatiahu the son of Benaiahu died! And I fell on my face, and I cried with a loud voice, and I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, you are making a complete destruction of the remnant of Israel!”
我正在说预言的时候, 比拿雅的儿子毗拉提死了. 于是我脸伏在地, 大声呼叫, 说: “哎, 主耶和华啊! 难道你要把以色列余剩的人都尽行毁灭吗? ”

11:14 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

11:15 “Son of man, your brothers, your brothers, the men of your redemption, and all of the house of Israel, all of it, who said concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, ‘They are far from Yahweh, therefore to us this land was given as a possession.’
“人子啊! 论到你的兄弟,你的亲属和以色列全家, 耶路撒冷的居民曾经这样说: ‘他们远离了耶和华, 这地是赐给我们作产业的. ’

11:16 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Though I have removed them far away among the nations and though I have scattered them among the countries, yet I was a sanctuary to them for a little while in the countries to which they have gone.’ ”
因此你要说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 我虽然把他们远远地迁到列国之中, 使他们分散在各地, 我还要在他们所到的各地暂作他们的圣所. ’

11:17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “And I will assemble you from the peoples, and I will gather you from the countries to which you were scattered among them, and I will give the land of Israel to you.
因此你要说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 我要从万族中招聚你们, 从你们被分散到的各地聚集你们, 把以色列地赐给你们. ’

11:18 And when they come there, then they will remove all of its vile idols and all of its detestable things from it.
他们必回到那里, 也必除掉那里所有可厌的偶像和所有可憎之物.

11:19 And I will give to them one heart, and a new spirit I will give in their inner parts. And I will remove their heart of stone from their body, and I will give to them a heart of flesh,
“我要把一颗心赐给他们, 把新的灵放在他们里面; 我要从他们肉体中除掉石心, 赐给他们肉心,

11:20 so that they may walk in my statutes, and they will keep my regulations, and they will do them, and they will be to me a people, and I myself will be to them as God.
使他们遵从我的律例, 谨守遵行我的典章, 这样, 他们就必作我的子民, 我必作他们的神.

11:21 But to the heart of their abominations and the detestable things their heart is going. I will bring their way on their head,” declares the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
至于那些心中随从可厌的偶像和可憎之物的人, 我要把他们所行的, 报应在他们的头上. ”这是主耶和华的宣告.

11:22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and their wheels were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
以后, 基路伯展开翅膀, 轮子都在他们旁边; 在他们以上有以色列神的荣耀.

11:23 And the glory of Yahweh went up from the midst of the city, and it stood still on the mountain that is to the east of the city.
耶和华的荣耀从城中升起, 停在城东的那座山上.

11:24 And the Spirit lifted me up, and it brought me to Chaldea, to the exiles, in the vision by the spirit of God; and the vision that I had seen left me.
灵把我提起来, 在异象中借着神的灵, 领我到迦勒底被掳的人那里去; 我看见的异象就离开我上升去了.

11:25 And I spoke to the exiles all of the words of Yahweh that he had shown me.
我就把耶和华指示我的一切事都说给被掳的人听.

Ezekiel - Chapter 12

12:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

12:2 “Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion who has eyes to see and they do not see; they have ears to hear, and they do not hear, for they are a house of rebellion.
“人子啊! 你是住在叛逆的民族之中; 他们有眼睛可以看, 却看不见; 他们有耳朵可以听, 却听不见, 因为他们是叛逆的民族.

12:3 And you, son of man, prepare for yourself the baggage of an exile, and go into exile by day before their eyes. And you must go into exile from your place to another place before their eyes; perhaps they will see that they are a house of rebellion.
因此, 人子啊! 你要为自己预备被掳时所需的东西, 在日间当着他们眼前离去, 从你所住的地方移居别处; 他们虽然是叛逆的民族, 或者他们可以看得明白.

12:4 And you must bring out your baggage like the baggage of an exile by day before their eyes, and you must go out in the evening before their eyes like those who go into exile.
你要在日间当着他们眼前, 把你的东西(好像被掳时所需的物件)搬出来, 到了晚上, 你要当着他们眼前出去, 像被掳的人出去一样.

12:5 Before their eyes dig through for yourself, through the wall, and you must bring the baggage out through it.
你要当着他们眼前把墙挖穿, 把你的东西从那里带出去.

12:6 Before their eyes, on your shoulder, you must lift up the baggage in the dusk, and your face you must cover, so that you may not see the land, for I make you as a sign to the house of Israel.”
到了天黑, 你要当着他们眼前把这些东西扛在肩头上带出去; 你要蒙住你的脸, 使你看不见这地, 因为我已经立你作以色列家的一个兆头. ”

12:7 And I did just as I was commanded; my baggage, like the baggage of an exile, I brought out by day, and in the evening I dug through for myself into the wall with my hand in the dusk; I brought the baggage on my shoulder; I carried it before their eyes.
于是我照着所吩咐的去行, 在日间我把我的东西(好像被掳时所需的物件)搬出来; 到了晚上, 我用手把墙挖穿; 天黑的时候, 我就当着他们眼前把这些东西扛在肩头上带出去.

12:8 And the word of Yahweh came to me in the morning, saying,
到了早晨, 耶和华的话临到我说:

12:9 “Son of man, did not they, the house of Israel, the house of rebellion, say to you, ‘What are you doing?’
“人子啊! 以色列家, 就是叛逆的民族, 不是问你: ‘你在作什么呢? ’

12:10 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “This oracle is about the prince in Jerusalem and the entire house of Israel who are among them.” ’
你要对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 这默示(“默示”原文作“担子”)是关乎耶路撒冷的君王, 和以色列全家. ’

12:11 Say, ‘I am your sign, and just as I did, so will it be done to them in the exile; into captivity they will go.’
你要说: ‘我作你们的一个兆头, 我怎样行, 他们的遭遇也必怎样; 他们必被掳去. ’

12:12 And the prince who is in the midst of them, on his shoulder he will carry the baggage in the dusk, and he will go out; the wall will be dug through to bring him through it; and he will cover his face so that he will not see the land with his eye.
他们中间的君王必在天黑的时候, 把东西扛在肩头上, 从他们挖穿的墙带出去; 他必蒙住自己的脸, 不能看见这地.

12:13 And I will spread out my net on him, and he will be captured in my hunting snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die.
我要把我的网撒在他身上, 他必被我的网罗网住; 我要把他带到巴比伦, 就是迦勒底人之地; 他不会看见那地, 却要死在那里.

12:14 And all who are around him, his help and all of his troops I will scatter in every direction, and I will draw the sword behind them.
我要把他周围所有的人, 就是所有帮助他的和他所有的军队, 分散到四方去, 也要拔出刀来追赶他们.

12:15 And they will know that I am Yahweh when I scatter them among the nations and I scatter them in the countries.
我使他们四散到列邦中, 分散在各地的时候, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

12:16 But I will spare from them a few men from the sword, from the famine and from the plague, so that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations to which they will go, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
然而我却要留下他们少数的人, 免受刀剑,饥荒和瘟疫之害, 好使他们在所到的列国中, 述说他们一切可憎恶的事, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

12:17 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

12:18 “Son of man, you must eat your food with trembling, and your water with shuddering, and with anxiety you must drink.
“人子啊! 你要战战兢兢地吃你的饭, 满心忧虑地喝你的水.

12:19 And you must say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the inhabitants of Jerusalem about the land of Israel: “They will eat their food with anxiety and their water they will drink with horror, because their land will be desolate from its fullness because of all the violence of those who are dwelling in it.
你要对这地的人民说: ‘论到耶路撒冷的居民和以色列地, 主耶和华这样说: 他们要满心忧虑地吃他们的饭, 十分惊惶地喝他们的水; 因为所有居民的强暴, 这地必全然荒凉.

12:20 And the inhabited cites will be desolate, and the land will be a desolation, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
有人居住的城市必成为荒场, 这地必然荒凉, 你们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

12:21 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

12:22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you people have about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision has come to nothing.’
“人子啊! 你们在以色列地怎么有这一句俗语说: ‘日子一天一天过去, 所有异象都落空了’呢?

12:23 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I will put an end to this proverb, and they will not quote it as a proverb again in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘The days are near, and also the word of every vision.’
因此, 你要对他们说: 主耶和华这样说: ‘我必使这一句俗语不再流行, 在以色列中, 人必不再引用这句俗语. ’你却要对他们说: ‘日子临近了, 所有异象都必应验. ’

12:24 For there will not be any longer any false vision or flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel.
从此, 在以色列家中必不再有虚假的异象和奉承的占卜.

12:25 For I, Yahweh, I will speak what I will speak as a word, and it will be done. It will not prolong itself any longer, for in your days, house of rebellion, I will speak a word and I will fulfill it!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我耶和华所说的, 是我要说的话, 我所说的必定成就, 不再耽延. 叛逆的民族啊! 我所说的话必在你们还活着的日子成就. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ”

12:26 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

12:27 “Son of man, look! The house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he is seeing is for many days from now, and for distant times he is prophesying.’
“人子啊! 以色列家说: ‘这人所见的异象是关乎许多年日以后的事, 他所说的预言是指着遥远的将来. ’

12:28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “None of my words will be prolonged any longer that I speak as a word, and it will be fulfilled!” ’ ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
因此, 你要对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 我所有的话, 必没有一句再耽延; 我所说的, 都必成就. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 13

13:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

13:2 “Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you must say to those who are prophets out of their own imagination, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh!’
“人子啊! 你要说预言攻击那些在以色列中说预言的先知, 对那些随着自己心意说预言的人说: ‘你们要听耶和华的话. ’”

13:3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Alas, for the foolish prophets who are going after their own spirit, and they did not see anything!
主耶和华这样说: “愚顽的先知有祸了, 他们只是随从自己的灵说预言, 却没有看见过什么异象.

13:4 Your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.
以色列啊! 你的先知好像废墟中的狐狸.

13:5 You did not go up into the breaches and repair a wall for the house of Israel to stand firm in the battle on the day of Yahweh.
他们没有上去堵塞破口, 也没有为以色列家重修墙垣, 使它在耶和华的日子, 在战争中可以站立得住.

13:6 They saw falseness and a lying divination, the ones saying, ‘Declaration of Yahweh!’ and Yahweh did not send them, and they wait for the confirmation of their word.
他们所见的是虚假的异象, 是骗人的占卜; 他们说: ‘这是耶和华的宣告. ’其实耶和华并没有差遣他们, 他们却希望自己的话能够应验.

13:7 Have you not seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination, and you said, ‘Declaration of Yahweh!’ but I myself did not speak.
你们不是见了虚假的异象, 不是说了骗人的占卜吗? 你们还说: ‘这是耶和华的宣告. ’其实我并没有说过. ”

13:8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because of your speaking falseness and because you envisioned a lie, therefore, look! I am against you!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: “因为你们所说的是虚假, 所见的是欺诈, 因此我就攻击你们. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

13:9 “And it will be my hand against the prophets who are seeing falseness and who are practicing lying divination. They will not be in the council of my people, and they will not be written down in the record book of the house of Israel, and into the land of Israel they will not come, and then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
我的手必攻击那些看见虚假异象,以占卜骗人的先知, 他们必不得列在我子民的会中, 不得被记录在以色列家的名册上, 也不得进入以色列地; 你们就知道我是主耶和华.

13:10 Because, yes, because they led my people astray, saying ‘Peace!’ And there is not peace. And when anyone builds a flimsy wall, look, they coat it with whitewash.
因为他们迷惑了我的子民, 说: ‘平安了. ’其实没有平安. 有人筑起薄墙的时候, 他们就用灰泥粉刷那墙.

13:11 Say to those covering it with whitewash that it will fall; there will be a torrent of rain, and I will give stones of hail; they will fall! And a windstorm will burst forth!
所以你要对那些用灰泥粉刷那墙的人说: ‘那墙要倒塌, 必有暴雨漫过. 大冰雹啊! 你们要降下, 狂风也必暴刮. ’

13:12 And look! When the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
那墙倒塌以后, 人岂不会问你们: ‘你们所粉刷的在哪里呢? ’”

13:13 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘And so I will let burst forth a windstorm in my rage, and there will be a torrent of rain in my anger, and hailstones in my rage for complete destruction.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: “我要在我的烈怒中使狂风暴刮; 在我的忿怒中有暴雨漫过; 在烈怒中有大冰雹降下毁灭这墙.

13:14 And I will break down the wall that you covered with whitewash, and I will knock it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed, and it will fall, and you will come to an end in the midst of it, and you will know that I am Yahweh!
我要拆毁你们用灰泥粉刷的墙. 使它倾倒在地, 以致根基露出来; 墙必倒塌, 你们必在其中灭亡; 你们就知道我是耶和华.

13:15 And I will fully vent my rage against the wall and against those covering it with whitewash, and I will say to you, “The wall is no more, and the people covering it are no more,
我必这样向墙, 和向那些用灰泥粉刷这墙的人发尽我的烈怒. 我要对他们说: ‘墙没有了! 粉刷那墙的人也没有了! ’

13:16 that is, the prophets of Israel, the ones prophesying concerning Jerusalem and the ones seeing visions of peace, and there is not peace!’ ” ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
粉刷那墙的人, 就是以色列的众先知; 他们指着耶路撒冷说预言, 在没有平安的时候, 为这城见平安的异象. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

13:17 “And you, son of man, place your face toward the daughters of your people who prophesy from their imagination, and prophesy against them!
“人子啊! 你要面向民中那些随着自己心意说预言的女子, 说预言攻击她们. 你要说:

13:18 And you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to those who sew magic charm bands on all the wrists of the hands of my people and those who make the veils that are on the head of people of every height, to ensnare people’s lives! Will you ensnare the lives of my people and keep yourselves alive?
‘主耶和华这样说: 这些女子有祸了, 她们替众人的手腕缝制符咒的带子, 又替众人制造不同长度的头巾, 为要猎取人的性命. 难道你们猎取我子民的性命, 就能保全自己的性命吗?

13:19 And you defiled me among my people for a handful of barley and for morsels of bread to kill persons who should not die and to keep alive persons who should not live by means of your lies to my people who are listening to your lies.” ’
你们为了几把大麦, 为了几块饼, 就在我的子民中间亵渎我; 你们向我那些愿听谎言的子民说谎, 不该死的人, 你们杀死了; 不该活的人, 你们却保全他们的性命.

13:20 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am against your magic charm bands with which you are ensnaring persons as birds; I will tear them from your arms, and I will release the persons that you are ensnaring, treating persons as birds.
“‘因此, 主耶和华这样说: 我要与你们符咒的带子作对. 你们用它们来猎取人的性命, 好像猎取飞鸟一样. 我必把它们从你们的膀臂上扯下来, 释放那些被你们像飞鸟一样猎取的性命.

13:21 And I will tear off your veils, and I will deliver my people from your hand, and they will not any longer be in your hand as prey, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必扯下你们的头巾, 救我的子民脱离你们的手, 使他们不再被你们的手猎取; 你们就知道我是耶和华.

13:22 Because you disheartened the heart of the righteous by deception, and I have not caused him pain, and strengthened the hands of the wicked so that he did not turn from his wicked way to save his life.
我没有使义人灰心, 你们却用谎言使他们灰心, 又坚固恶人的手, 使他们不转离恶道而得拯救.

13:23 Therefore falseness you will not see, and divination you will not practice any longer, and I will rescue my people from your hand, and you will know that I am Yahweh!’ ”
因此, 你们不得再见虚假的异象, 也不得再行占卜的事; 我要救我的子民脱离你们的手. 你们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 14

14:1 And men from the elders of Israel came to me, and they sat before me.
有几个以色列的长老来见我, 在我面前坐下.

14:2 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话就临到我说:

14:3 “Son of man, these men took up their idols into their heart and they placed before themselves a stumbling block of their guilt. Should I really let myself be consulted by them?
“人子啊! 这些人已经把他们的偶像接到心里去, 把那陷他们在罪孽中的绊脚石放在自己面前, 我怎能让他们向我求问呢?

14:4 Therefore speak with them, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Every person from the house of Israel who brings up his idols into his heart and places before himself a stumbling block of his guilt and yet he comes to the prophet, I Yahweh, I will respond to him through this act with respect to the multitude of his idols,
因此, 你要告诉他们, 对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 以色列家的人中, 凡把他的偶像接到心里去, 把那陷自己在罪孽中的绊脚石放在自己面前, 却又来见先知的, 我耶和华必按他拜众多偶像的罪报应他,

14:5 so that I may take hold of the house of Israel by their heart, those who are estranged from me, all of them, through their idols.’
好夺回以色列家的心. 他们众人因自己的偶像, 与我疏远. ’

14:6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Return, and turn away from your idols and from all of your detestable things! Turn away your faces!” ’
“因此, 你要对以色列家说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 回转吧! 转离你们的偶像! 转脸离弃你们一切可憎之物吧!

14:7 For each person from the house of Israel, and from the alien who dwells as an alien in Israel, who separates himself from following me and brings up his idols into his heart and places before himself a stumbling block of his guilt, and yet he comes to the prophet to consult him concerning me, I Yahweh will answer him myself.
因为以色列家的人中, 或是在以色列寄居的外族人中, 凡与我疏远, 把他们的偶像接到心里去, 把那陷自己在罪孽中的绊脚石放在自己面前, 却又来见先知, 要为自己求问我的, 我耶和华必亲自报应他;

14:8 And I will set my face against that person, and I will make him to be a sign and make him into the subject of proverbs; and I will cut him off from the midst of my people, and you will know I am Yahweh.
我必向那人变脸, 使他成为别人的鉴戒和讥笑的对象; 我要把他从我子民中剪除; 你们就知道我是耶和华.

14:9 And the prophet, if he is deceived and he speaks a word, I Yahweh, I have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
如果有先知被欺骗说一句话, 是我耶和华任那先知受欺骗的; 我必伸手攻击他, 把他从我子民以色列中除灭.

14:10 And they will bear their guilt, like the guilt of the inquirer so the guilt of the prophet will be,
他们必担当自己的罪孽; 求问的人的罪孽怎样, 先知的罪孽也必怎样.

14:11 so that the house of Israel will not go astray again from me, and they will not make themselves unclean again with all of their transgressions, and they will be for me a people, and I will be for them as God,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
这样, 以色列家必不再走迷路离开我, 也不再因他们的一切过犯玷污自己; 他们要作我的子民, 我要作他们的神. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

14:12 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

14:13 “Son of man, when a land sins against me by acting very unfaithfully, then I will stretch out my hand against it, and I will break for it the supply of food, and I will send against it famine, and I will cut it off, both human and animal.
“人子啊! 如果一国行了不忠的事得罪我, 我就必伸手攻击那国, 断绝那地的粮食, 使饥荒临到那地, 使人和牲畜都从那地剪除,

14:14 And if even the three of these men were in the midst of it—Noah, Daniel, and Job—they, through their righteousness, would save only themselves!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
即使有挪亚,但以理和约伯这三个人, 他们也只能因自己的义救自己的性命. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

14:15 “If a fierce animal I should let cross through the land, and it should make it childless and it will be a desolation, so that there will not be one crossing over the land due to the presence of the animal,
如果我使猛兽经过那地, 蹂躏那地, 使它荒凉, 以致因为这些兽的缘故, 没有人敢经过;

14:16 even if these three men were in the midst of it, as surely as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “surely they will not save sons and daughters; they themselves alone, they will be saved, but the land will be a desolation.
即使有这三个人在其中, 我指着我的永生起誓, 他们只能救自己, 连儿女也不能救, 那地却仍然荒凉. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

14:17 Or, if I bring a sword over that land, and I say, ‘Sword, let it cross over into the land!’ And I will cut off from it both human and animal.
如果我使刀剑临到那地, 说: ‘愿刀剑经过那地, 好让我把人和牲畜从那地剪除. ’

14:18 And if these three men were in the midst of it, as surely as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “they will not save sons and daughters, but they alone will be saved.
即使有这三个人在其中, 我指着我的永生起誓, 他们只能救自己, 连儿女也不能救.

14:19 And if I were to send a plague to that land, and I pour out my rage on it with blood to cut it off, both human and animal,
如果我使瘟疫流行那地, 借着流血的事把我的烈怒倾倒在那地上, 使人和牲畜都从那地剪除;

14:20 and if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in the midst of her, as surely as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “surely not a son, surely not a daughter will they save by their righteousness; they would save themselves.”
即使当中有挪亚,但以理和约伯, 我指着我的永生起誓, 他们只能因自己的义救自己的性命, 连儿女也不能救. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ”

14:21 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “How much more when I send my four punishments—the evil sword, and famine, and a fierce animal, and a plague—to Jerusalem to cut it off, both human and animal!
主耶和华这样说: “我打发刀剑,饥荒,猛兽和瘟疫这四样可怕的刑罚临到耶路撒冷, 要把人和牲畜从那里剪除的时候, 那情况岂不更严重吗?

14:22 But look! A remnant will be left over in it, sons and daughters who will be brought out. Look! They are coming out to you, and you will see their way, and with their deeds you will be consoled with respect to the evil that I brought over Jerusalem, all of it that I brought over it.
其中将有剩下逃脱的人, 连同儿女被带出来, 他们来到你们那里, 你们看见他们的所行所为, 就会因我降给耶路撒冷的一切灾祸, 得了安慰.

14:23 And they will console you when you see their way and their deeds, and you will know that not for nothing I did all that I did in it,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
你们看见了他们的所行所为, 就必得安慰, 因为你们知道我在耶路撒冷所行的一切, 并不是无缘无故的. 这是耶和华的宣告. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 15

15:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

15:2 “Son of man, how will the wood of the vine be better than any of the wood of the branch which is among the trees of the forest?
“人子啊! 葡萄树的木料怎能胜过树林中的枝子呢?

15:3 Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can they take a tent peg from it to hang on it any object?
人可以从葡萄树上取木料制造物件吗? 可以从葡萄树上取木料做钉子挂器皿吗?

15:4 Look! It is given to the fire as fuel. The fire will consume two of its ends, and its middle will be charred. Is it useful for anything?
看哪! 已经拋在火里当作燃料, 火既烧毁了两端, 连中间也烧焦了, 它还可以用来制造物件吗?

15:5 Look! When it is in perfect condition, it will not be used for anything, how much less when the fire has consumed it and it is charred; and then can it be used again for anything?
看哪! 它完整的时候, 尚且不能用来制造物件, 何况它被火烧毁和烧焦了, 它还能用来做什么呢? ”

15:6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Just like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest which I gave to the fire for fuel, so I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: “我怎样把树林中的葡萄树拋在火里当作燃料, 也必照样对待耶路撒冷的居民.

15:7 And I will set my face against them. From the fire they mayescape, but the fire will yet consume them, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I set my face against them.
我必变脸攻击他们; 他们虽然从火里逃出来, 火仍要吞灭他们; 我变脸攻击他们的时候, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

15:8 And I will make the land a desolation because they acted very unfaithfully!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必使这地荒凉, 因为他们行了不忠的事. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 16

16:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

16:2 “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem its detestable things,
“人子啊! 你要使耶路撒冷知道她那些可憎之事;

16:3 and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were from the land of the Canaanites, your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
你要说: ‘主耶和华对耶路撒冷这样说: 你的根源和出生地是在迦南地; 你的父亲是亚摩利人, 你的母亲是赫人.

16:4 And as for your birth, on the day you were born your umbilical cord was not cut, and you were not thoroughly washed clean with water, and you were not thoroughly rubbed with salt, and you were not carefully wrapped in strips of cloth.
在你生下来的日子, 没有人替你断脐带, 没有人用水洗你, 使你洁净, 没有人撒盐在你身上, 也没有人用布包裹你.

16:5 No eye took pity on you to do to you one of these things to show compassion for you, and you were thrown into the open field in their despising of you on the day you were born.
没有人顾惜可怜你, 愿意为你作上述任何一件事; 你却被人拋弃在田野, 因为你出生的时候, 你是被人厌恶的.

16:6 “ ‘And I passed by you, and I saw you kicking about in your blood, and I said to you in your blood, “Live!
“‘但我从你身旁经过, 见你在血中挣扎. 那时, 你躺在血中, 我对你说: 要活下去.

16:7 Grow up; I will make you like a plant of the field.” And you grew up, and you became tall and reached full womanhood. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown, but you were naked and bare.
我使你生长起来, 像田间的植物. 于是你生长起来, 渐渐长大, 好像最美丽的珠宝, 你的两乳长成, 头发秀长; 但你仍是赤身露体.

16:8 “ ‘And I passed by you, and I saw you, and look, your time of lovemaking had come, and so I spread out my hem over you, and I covered your nakedness, and I swore to you, and I entered into a covenant with you,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘and you became mine.
我又从你身旁经过, 见你已经到了谈情说爱的时候, 我就用我的衣襟搭在你身上, 遮盖你赤裸的身体; 我又向你起誓, 与你立约, 于是你就属于我了. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

16:9 And I washed you with water, and I rinsed off your blood from on you, and I anointed you with oil.
那时我用水洗你, 洗净你身上的血, 又用油抹你.

16:10 And I clothed you with beautiful finished cloth, and I put sandals on you of fine leather, and I bound you in fine linen, and I covered you with costly fabric.
我使你身穿刺绣的衣裳, 脚穿海狗皮鞋; 用细麻布给你裹头; 又用丝绸给你披在身上.

16:11 And I adorned you with ornaments, and I put a bracelet on your arms and a necklace on your neck.
我用珠宝给你打扮, 把手环戴在你手上, 把项链戴在你颈上,

16:12 And I put an ornamental ring on your nose and earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
又把鼻环戴在你鼻子上, 把耳环戴在你耳朵上, 把美丽的冠冕戴在你头上.

16:13 And you adorned yourself with gold and silver, and your clothing was fine linen and costly fabric and beautiful finished cloth; you ate finely milled flour and honey and olive oil, and you became exceedingly beautiful; you were fit to be a queen.
这样你就有了金银的装饰, 你穿的是细麻,丝绸和刺绣的衣服; 你吃的是细面,蜂蜜和油; 你实在非常美丽, 配登王后的位.

16:14 And a name went out for you among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect because of my majesty that I bestowed on you,’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
你的名声因你的美丽传遍列国, 你全然美丽, 是因为我加在你身上的荣美. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

16:15 ‘And you trusted in your beauty, and you prostituted on account of your name, and you poured out your fornication on every one passing by, saying, “Let it be his.”
“‘可是你倚仗你的美丽, 又凭着你的名声去行淫; 你向每一个过路的人纵情淫乱.

16:16 And you took from your clothes and you made for yourself colorful shrines, and you prostituted on them; this had not happened before, and it will not continue to happen.
你拿了你的一些衣服, 为自己建造色彩缤纷的邱坛, 又在那里行淫. 这样的事不应发生, 将来也不会再出现.

16:19 And my bread that I gave to you, finely milled flour and oil and honey with which I fed you, then you set it before them as a pleasing odor, and so it was,’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
你把我赐给你的食物, 就是我给你吃的细面,油和蜂蜜, 都摆在它们面前作馨香的祭物. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

16:20 ‘And you took your sons and your daughters whom you had borne for me, and you sacrificed them to them to be eaten, as if your whorings were not enough.
你更把你的儿女, 就是你给我所生的儿女, 献给它们作食物; 你所行的淫乱还算是小事吗?

16:21 And you slaughtered my children, and you gave them to be sacrificed to them.
你竟宰杀了我的儿女, 使他们经火, 献给它们.

16:22 And in all of your detestable things and your fornication you did not remember the days of your childhood when you were naked and bare, when you were kicking about in your blood.
你行这一切可憎和淫乱的事, 并没有想过你年幼的日子, 那时你赤身露体, 在血中挣扎.

16:23 “ ‘And then after all of your evil! Woe, woe, to you!’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
“‘你有祸了, 有祸了! 这是主耶和华的宣告. 你行了这一切恶事以后,

16:24 ‘And then you built for yourself a mound, and you made for yourself a high place in every public square.
你又为自己建造高冈, 在各广场上筑起高坛.

16:25 At the head of every street you built your high place and you disgraced your beauty and you spread your feet for every passerby, and you increased your whoring.
你在各路口建造高坛, 使你的美丽变为可憎的, 又向每一个过路的人张开两腿, 多行淫乱.

16:26 And you prostituted with the Egyptians, your neighbors who were sexually aroused, and you increased your fornication to provoke me.
你也与放纵情欲的邻居埃及人行淫, 多行淫乱, 惹我发怒.

16:27 And look! I stretched out my hand against you, and I reduced your portion, and I gave you into the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed because of your lewd conduct.
因此, 我伸手攻击你, 减少你的粮食(“粮食”或译: “领土”), 又把你交给那些恨你的非利士女子, 使她们任意待你; 她们对你邪荡的行为也感到羞愧.

16:28 And you prostituted with the Assyrians on account of your insatiable lust, and you prostituted with them, and still you were not satisfied.

16:29 And you increased your fornication to the land of traders, to Chaldea, and even with this you were not satisfied.
于是你增多你的淫乱, 与贸易之地迦勒底行淫, 你还是不满足.

16:30 How hot with fever was your heart!’ declares the Lord Yahweh. ‘When you did all of these actions of a headstrong female prostitute,
“‘你行的这一切事, 简直是任性无耻的妓女所为, 可见你的意志是多么的薄弱. 这是耶和华的宣告.

16:31 when you built your mound at the head of every street and your high place you made on every street, yet you were not like a prostitute, as you were scorning your harlot’s wages.
你在各路口建造你的高冈, 又在各广场上筑起你的高坛; 然而你并不像一个妓女, 因为你藐视卖淫所得的赏赐.

16:32 O, adulterous woman! In the place of her husband she received strangers.
你这淫乱的妻子啊! 你竟接外人而不接自己的丈夫.

16:33 To all prostitutes they give a fee, but you, you gave your gifts to all of your lovers, and you bribed them to come to you from all around in your whorings!
人都把礼物送给妓女, 你却把你的礼物送给你的爱人, 贿赂他们从四面来与你行淫.

16:34 And it was the opposite with you from the other women in your whorings; no one solicited you as a prostitute. You gave a harlot’s wages, and a harlot’s wages were not given to you, and so it was just the opposite.
你的淫行与别的妇女不同, 因为不是人把礼物送给你, 要求与你行淫, 是你把礼物送给人, 所以你是不同的.

16:35 “ ‘Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh.
“‘因此, 你这妓女啊, 要听耶和华的话!

16:36 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of the pouring out of your shame and because your nakedness was revealed in your whoring with your lovers, and on account of all of the idols of your detestable things, and according to the blood of your children whom you gave to them,
主耶和华这样说: 因为你的情欲倾注出来, 你与你的爱人行淫, 露出你的下体, 又因为你拜一切可憎的偶像, 流儿女的血, 把血献给偶像,

16:37 therefore, look! I am gathering all of your lovers whom you were pleased about, and all of whom you loved in addition to all of whom you hated, and I will gather them against you from everywhere, and I will uncover your nakedness to them, and they will see all of your nakedness.
所以我要把所有与你欢合的爱人, 就是所有你所爱的和你所恨的, 都聚集起来; 我要把他们从四围聚集起来攻击你; 我要在他们面前露出你的下体, 使他们看见你全身赤裸.

16:38 And I will judge you with the judgment of women committing adultery and shedding blood, and I will give you the blood of rage and jealousy.
我要审判你, 像审判行奸淫和流人血的妇人一样; 我要因我的烈怒和妒忿, 使流人血的罪归在你身上.

16:39 And I will give you into their hand, and they will demolish your mound, and they will break down your high places, and they will strip you of your clothes, and they will take your beautiful jewelry, and they will leave you naked and bare.
我要把你交在他们手里, 他们要拆毁你的高冈, 破坏你的高坛, 剥去你的衣服, 夺去你美丽的珠宝, 只留下你赤露的身躯.

16:40 And they will bring up against you a crowd, and they will stone you with stones, and they will cut you to pieces with their swords.
他们必带一大群人上来攻击你, 用石头打死你, 用他们的刀把你砍碎.

16:41 And they will burn your houses with fire, and they will execute against you judgments before many women, and I will stop you from prostitution, and also a harlot’s wages you will not give again.
他们也要用火烧你的房屋, 在许多妇人面前向你施行审判. 我必止住你的淫行, 也必使你不再把诱人行淫的礼物送给人.

16:42 And I will satisfy my rage on you, and my jealousy will turn away from you, and I will be calm, and I will not be angry any longer.
这样我向你发的烈怒就可以平息, 我的妒忿也可以离开你; 我可以安静, 不再恼怒了.

16:43 Because you did not remember the days of your childhood and you made me angry with all of these. And in turn I, look, I will return your way upon your head,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘and did you not do wickedness in addition to all of your detestable things?
因为你不追念你年幼的日子, 反而在这一切事上惹我发怒; 看哪! 我必照着你所行的报应在你头上, 这是主耶和华的宣告. 在你一切可憎的事以外, 你岂不是还行了这淫乱的丑事吗?

16:44 Look! Everyone quoting a proverb against you, he will quote, saying, ‘Like her mother is her daughter!’
“‘凡引用俗语的, 必用这俗语指着你说: 有其母, 必有其女.

16:45 You are a daughter of your mother who abhorred her husband and her children, and you are a sister of your sisters who abhorred their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was an Amorite.
你实在是你母亲的女儿, 她厌弃自己的丈夫和儿女; 你实在是你姊妹的姊妹, 她们厌弃她们的丈夫和儿女; 你们的母亲是赫人, 你们的父亲是亚摩利人.

16:46 And your elder sister, she is Samaria, and her daughters, who are dwelling on your north, and your younger sister is the one dwelling on your south; she is Sodom and her daughters.
你的姊姊是撒玛利亚, 她和她的女儿们住在你的北面; 你的妹妹是所多玛, 她和她的女儿们住在你的南面.

16:47 And you have not only gone in their ways, but you also did according to their detestable things. In such a short time you behaved more corruptly than they in all of your ways.
你不但行她们所行的, 作她们所作的可憎之事, 而且你还以那些事为小, 你一切所行的比她们更坏.

16:48 As surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely your sister Sodom and her daughters did not do as you and your daughters did.
我指着我的永生起誓, 你的妹妹所多玛和她的女儿们, 都没有行过像你和你女儿们所行的事. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

16:49 Look! This was the iniquity of Sodom, your sister: Pride, abundance of food, and prosperous ease was to her and to her daughters, and she did not sustain the needy and the poor.
你妹妹所多玛的罪孽是这样: 她和她的女儿们都骄傲自大, 粮食丰足, 生活安逸, 却没有帮助困苦和贫穷的人.

16:50 And they were proud, and they did a detestable thing before me, and I removed them because I saw it.
她们自高自傲, 在我面前行了可憎的事; 我看见了, 就把她们除掉.

16:51 And Samaria did not sin according to even half of your sins, and you caused your detestable things to increase more than they, and you made your sister righteous in comparison with all of your detestable things that you did.
撒玛利亚所犯的罪还不及你所犯的一半; 你所行的可憎之事比她更多, 以致你的姊妹因你所行的一切可憎之事而显为义.

16:52 Also, you bear your disgrace, by which you furnished justification to your sisters through your sins by which you acted more abominably than they; they were more righteous than you, and also, you be ashamed and bear your disgrace through your making your sister righteous.
你既然使你的姊妹较显为义, 你就要承担自己的耻辱; 因为你所犯的罪比她们所犯的更可憎, 她们比你更显为义. 你使你的姊妹较显为义, 所以你就要惭愧, 承担自己的耻辱了.

16:53 And I will restore their fortune, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and even the fortunes of your captivity in the midst of them,
“‘我要使所多玛和她的女儿们, 撒玛利亚和她的女儿们从苦境中转回, 我也要使你们跟她们一起转回,

16:54 in order that you may bear your disgrace and you may be put to shame because of all that you did at your consoling them.
好使你担当自己的耻辱, 并且因你一切所行的使她们得了安慰, 你就自觉惭愧.

16:55 And as for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and you and your daughters will return to your former state.
你的妹妹所多玛和她的女儿们必回复原来的状况; 撒玛利亚和她的女儿们必回复原来的状况; 你和你的女儿们也必回复原来的状况.

16:56 And was not Sodom, your sister, a byword in your mouth in the day of your pride
在你骄傲自大的日子, 你妹妹所多玛在你口中不是成了笑柄吗?

16:57 before your evil was uncovered? It was like the time of the scorn of the daughters of Aram and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who are despising you.
那时你的恶行还没有显露出来, 现在你却成了以东的女儿们和以东四围的众人, 以及非利士的女儿们讥笑的对象. 你周围的人都轻视你.

16:58 Your wickedness and your detestable things, you, you must bear them,’ declares Yahweh.
你要承担你那些淫乱和可憎之事的后果. 这是耶和华的宣告.

16:59 ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh: And I will do it to you according to what you have done, who despised the oath to break covenant.
主耶和华这样说: 你这藐视誓言,背弃盟约的, 我必照着你所行的报应你.

16:60 And I, I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.
“‘但我仍要记念在你年幼的时候与你所立的约, 也要与你坚立永远的约.

16:61 And you will remember your ways, and you will be ashamed when you take your sisters, both the older and the younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of your covenant.
你接纳你姊姊和你妹妹回来的时候, 你就会想起你所行的, 并要自觉惭愧; 我要把她们赐给你作女儿, 但这并不是出于我与你所立的约.

16:62 And I, I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh,
我要坚立我与你所立的约, 你就知道我是耶和华,

16:63 in order that you will remember, and you will be ashamed, and you will not open your mouth again because of your disgrace when I forgive you for all that you have done!’ ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
好使你在我赦免你所行的一切时, 就会回想, 自觉惭愧, 并且因你所受的羞辱不再开口. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 17

17:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

17:2 “Son of man, tell a riddle and quote a proverb to the house of Israel,
“人子啊! 你要向以色列家出谜语, 设比喻,

17:3 and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The great eagle with great wings and long feathers and full of variegated plumage came to Lebanon and he took the treetop of the cedar.
说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 有一只大鹰, 翅膀大, 翎毛长, 羽毛丰富, 彩色缤纷, 来到黎巴嫩, 把香柏树的树梢取去;

17:4 He plucked the top of its new plant shoot, and he brought it to the land of Canaan and put it in a city of merchants,
它啄断树顶的嫩枝, 把它带到贸易之地, 栽种在商人的城里.

17:5 and he took from the seed of the land and placed it in fertile soil on many waters; like a willow he planted it.
它又把以色列地的种子取去, 栽种在肥沃的地土,水流的旁边, 好像栽种柳树一样;

17:6 And it sprouted, and it became a vine spreading out, low of height, turning its branches to him, and its roots were under it, and it became a vine, and it made branches, and it sent out foliage.
它生长起来, 成了一棵矮小而蔓延的葡萄树; 树上的枝子向着那鹰, 树根在它以下. 这样, 它就成了一棵葡萄树, 生出枝子, 长出嫩芽.

17:7 “ ‘ “And there was another great eagle, great of wings and with abundant plumage, and look! This vine stretched out its roots toward him and extended its branches to him to water it from the garden bed where it was planted.
“‘另有一只大鹰, 翅膀大, 羽毛多; 这葡萄树从它栽种的苗床上, 把树根向这鹰弯过去, 又向这鹰长出枝子, 好得它的浇灌.

17:8 It was planted in a good field by many waters to produce branches and to bear fruit to become a beautiful vine.” ’
其实, 这树早已栽种在肥沃的地土,水流的旁边, 可以长枝子,结果子, 成为佳美的葡萄树. ’

17:9 Say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Will it prosper? Will he not tear out its roots, and will he not make its fruit scaly, and it will wither, and all of the freshness of its vegetation will dry up? And to lift it from its roots will not require great strength or many people.
你要说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 这葡萄树怎能茂盛呢? 鹰不是要拔出它的根来, 啄光它的果子, 使它和它长出的一切嫩叶都枯干吗? 其实, 要把它连根拔起, 并不需要很多人或很大的气力.

17:10 And look! Though it is planted, will it prosper? When the east wind strikes it, will it not dry up completely? On the garden bed of its vegetation it will dry up!” ’ ”
看哪! 葡萄树被栽种了, 但它能发旺吗? 东风吹袭它的时候, 它不是必然枯干吗? 它必在生长的苗床上枯干. ’”

17:11 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

17:12 “Say now to the rebellious house of Israel, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ Say, ‘Look! The king of Babylon will come to Jerusalem, and he will take its king and its officials, and he will bring them to himself, to Babylon.
“你要对那叛逆的民族说: ‘你们不知道这些事是什么意思吗? ’你要告诉他们: ‘看哪! 巴比伦王曾到耶路撒冷来, 把其中的王和众领袖掳去, 带他们到巴比伦那里去.

17:13 And he took from the seed of the kingship, and he made with him a covenant, and he brought him under oath, and he took the rulers of the land,
他从以色列王室后裔中选出一人, 与他立约, 叫他起誓, 并且把国中那些有势力的人掳去,

17:14 so that they would be a humble kingdom and not lift itself up to keep his covenant in order for it to stand.
使国衰微, 不能再兴盛, 唯有谨守条约他才可以继续存在.

17:15 But he rebelled against him by sending his messengers to Egypt to give to him horses and a large army. Will he succeed? Will he escape doing these things, and can he break the covenant and escape?
可是这人背叛了巴比伦王, 差遣使者到埃及去, 要得战马和大军. 他能亨通吗? 行这样事的人, 怎能逃脱呢? 他破坏条约, 怎能逃脱呢?

17:16 As I live,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely in the place of the king who made him king, who despised his oath and who broke his covenant with him—in the midst of Babylon he will die.
我指着我的永生起誓: 他藐视了自己所起的誓, 背弃了与王所立的约, 因此他必死在巴比伦, 就是巴比伦王立他作王的地方. 这是耶和华的宣告.

17:17 And not with a great army and with a great crowd will Pharaoh work with him in the war, at the pouring out of a siege ramp and the building of siege works to destroy many lives.
敌人建造围城的高墙, 筑起攻城土垒要剪除多人的时候, 法老率领大军和大队人马, 还是不能帮助他作战.

17:18 And he despised the oath to break covenant. And, look, he gave his hand in pledge, and yet he did all of these things. He will not escape.’
他藐视誓言, 背弃条约; 他已宣誓效忠, 却又行了这一切事, 所以他必不能逃脱.

17:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘As I live, surely my oath that he despised and my covenant that he broke I will return upon his head.
因此主耶和华这样说: 我指着我的永生起誓: 他既然藐视我的誓言, 背弃我的约, 我必使这罪归到他的头上.

17:20 And I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my hunting net, and I will bring him to Babylon, and I will enter into judgment with him there about his infidelity that he displayed against me.
我要把我的网撒在他身上, 他必在我的网罗中被捕获; 我要把他带到巴比伦去, 并且要在那里因他对我不忠的罪审判他.

17:21 And all of his choice troops, among all of his troops, they will fall by the sword, and those who are remaining, they will be scattered to all the directions of the wind, and you will know that I, Yahweh, I have spoken.’
他军中所有的精兵, 都必倒在刀下; 剩下的也必分散到四方; 你们就知道说这话的是我耶和华.

17:22 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘And I will take, even I, from the treetop of the high cedar, and I will plant it, from the head of its new plant shoot I will pluck a tender one, and I will plant it, even I, on a high and lofty mountain.
“‘主耶和华这样说: 我要从高大香柏树的树梢上取去一根树枝, 把它栽上; 我要从树顶的嫩枝中折下一根枝子, 把它栽种在高耸的山上;

17:23 On the height of the mountain of Israel I will plant it, and it will carry branches, and it will bear fruit, and it will become a noble cedar, and all of the birds of all wings will dwell under it in the shade of its branches.
我要把它栽种在以色列的高山上, 它要长出枝子, 结出果子, 成为佳美的香柏树; 各种各类的飞鸟都必在树下栖宿, 就是栖宿在枝子的荫下.

17:24 And all of the trees of the field will know that I, Yahweh, I will bring low a high tree, and I will exalt a low, fresh tree, and I will make a dry tree flourish. I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will do it.’ ”
田野所有的树木都必知道我耶和华使高大的树矮小, 矮小的树高大; 使青绿的树枯干, 枯干的树茂盛. 我耶和华怎样说了, 就必怎样行. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 18

18:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

18:2 “What do you mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers, they ate unripe fruit, and the teeth of the child became blunt.’
“论到以色列地, 你们为什么引用这俗语说: ‘父亲吃了酸葡萄, 儿子的牙酸倒了’呢?

18:3 As I live, declares the Lord Yahweh, it will surely not any longer be appropriate for you to quote this proverb in Israel!
我指着我的永生起誓: 你们在以色列中必不再引用这俗语了. 这是主耶和华的话.

18:4 Look! All lives are mine. The lives of father and son alike are mine. The person sinning will die.
看哪! 所有的人都是属我的, 作父亲的怎样属我, 作儿子的也怎样属我, 唯独犯罪的, 才会灭亡.

18:5 And if a man is righteous and does justice and righteousness,
“人若是公义, 又行公道和正直的事:

18:6 and on the mountains he does not eat and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he does not defile and he does not approach a woman of menstruation,
他不在山上吃祭肉, 眼目也不仰望以色列家的偶像, 不玷污邻舍的妻子, 不亲近在经期中的妇人;

18:7 and he oppresses no one and he returns a pledge for his loan and he commits no robbery and he gives his bread to the hungry and he covers a naked person with a garment,
不欺压任何人, 把欠债人的抵押归还; 他不抢夺人的物件, 却把自己的食物给饥饿的人, 把衣服给赤身的人穿着;

18:8 and he does not charge interest and he takes no usury, and he holds back his hand from injustice and he executes a judgment of fairness between persons,
他借东西给人不取利息, 也不多要, 他使自己的手远离罪恶, 在人与人之间施行诚实的判断;

18:9 and in my statutes he goes about and my regulations he keeps, performing faithfully —then he is righteous, and certainly he will live,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
他遵行我的律例, 谨守我的典章, 行事诚实, 这人是个义人, 他必定存活. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

18:10 “And now he has a son, a violent one, who sheds blood and does any of these things
“他若是生一个儿子, 是个强暴的人, 流人的血, 又向兄弟行上述任何一件恶事

18:11 (though he did not do all of these things), for the son also eats on the mountains and he defiles the wife of his neighbor.
(虽然他父亲并没有作这样的事): 他在山上吃祭肉, 又玷污邻舍的妻子;

18:12 He oppresses the needy and the poor, and he commits robbery, and he does not return a pledge for a loan, and he lifts his eyes to the idols so he does a detestable thing.
他欺压困苦和贫穷的人, 抢夺人的物件, 没有把抵押品归还, 眼目仰望偶像, 并行可憎的事;

18:13 He charges interest and takes usury. Then, shall he live? He shall not live, for he did all of these detestable things. Surely he will die! His blood will be on him.
他借东西给人要收利息, 也向人多要, 这样的人能存活吗? 他必不能存活; 他行了这一切可憎的事, 必要灭亡; 他的罪(“罪”原文作“血”)要归到他身上.

18:14 “And look! He has a son, and he sees all of the sin of his father that he did, and he sees it, but he does not do it.
“他若生一个儿子, 这儿子看见他父亲所犯的一切罪, 他虽然看见了, 却不照样去作:

18:15 On the mountains he does not eat, and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he does not defile.
他不在山上吃祭肉, 眼目不仰望以色列家的偶像, 不玷污邻舍的妻子;

18:16 And he oppresses no one; he requires no pledge for a loan, and he does not commit robbery; he gives his bread to the hungry, and he covers the naked person with a garment.
不欺压任何人, 不索取抵押品, 不抢夺人的物件, 却把自己的食物给饥饿的人, 把衣服给赤身的人穿着;

18:17 He brings back his hand from iniquity; he does not take interest and usury; he does my regulations; he goes in my statutes. He will not die because of the guilt of his father; he will surely live!
他不伸手欺压困苦人, 借东西给人不取利息, 也不多要; 他遵守我的典章, 遵行我的律例, 这人就必不因他父亲的罪孽而灭亡; 他必要存活.

18:18 Because his father oppressed severely; he stole from his brother; that which is not good he did in the midst of his people, and look! He will die through his guilt.
至于他的父亲, 因为他勒索, 抢夺兄弟的物件, 在自己的同胞中行不善的事, 所以他必因自己的罪孽而灭亡.

18:19 “Yet you say, ‘Why does the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ And since the son does justice and righteousness and he keeps all of my statutes and does them, he shall surely live!
“你们还问: ‘儿子为什么不担当父亲的罪孽呢? ’儿子若行正直和公义的事, 谨守遵行我的一切律例, 就必存活.

18:20 The person, the one sinning, will die. A son shall not bear the guilt of the father, and a father shall not bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him; the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
唯独犯罪的, 才会灭亡; 儿子必不担当父亲的罪孽, 父亲也必不担当儿子的罪孽; 义人的义必归他自己, 恶人的恶也必归他自己.

18:21 But if the wicked returns from all of his sins that he has done and he keeps all of my statutes and he does justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die!
“恶人若回转, 离开他所犯的一切罪, 谨守我的一切律例, 行正直和公义的事, 就必存活, 不致灭亡.

18:22 All of his transgressions that he committed will not be remembered against him. Through his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
他所犯的一切罪过都不会被记念, 作控诉他的理由; 他必因自己所行的义而存活.

18:23 Have I delight by any means in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord Yahweh, and not at his turning from his way, so that he lives?
难道我喜悦恶人死亡吗? 我不是喜悦他回转离开他所行的而存活吗? 这是主耶和华的宣告.

18:24 And when the righteous turns from his righteousness, so that he does injustice, and does all of the detestable things that the wicked do, then will he live because of all of his righteousness that he did? Those things will not be remembered because of his infidelity that he displayed, and because of his sin that he committed. Through them he shall die.
“义人若转离他的义去行恶, 照着恶人所行一切可憎的事而行, 他能存活吗? 他所行的一切义都不会被记念; 他必因他所行不忠的事和他所犯的罪而灭亡.

18:25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ Listen, now, house of Israel, is my way not fair? Is it not your ways that are not fair?
“你们还说: ‘主所行的不公平. ’以色列家啊, 你们要听! 我所行的哪里不公平呢? 岂不是你们所行的不公平吗?

18:26 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and he does injustice, then he will die because of them; because of his injustice that he did he will die!
义人若转离他的义去行恶, 他就必因此灭亡; 他必因着他所行的不义灭亡.

18:27 And when the wicked turns from his wickedness that he did and he does justice and righteousness, he will preserve his life.
还有, 恶人若回转离开他所行的恶, 行正直公义的事, 他就可以使自己的性命存活.

18:28 And if he sees and he returns from all of his transgressions that he did, surely he will live; he will not die!
因为他思量了, 就转离他所犯的一切罪过, 所以他必然存活, 不致灭亡.

18:29 And yet they, the house of Israel, say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ Are not my ways fair, house of Israel? Are not your ways unfair?
但以色列家还说: ‘主所行的不公平. ’以色列家啊, 我所行的哪里不公平呢? 岂不是你们所行的不公平吗?

18:30 “Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, each one according to his ways,” declares the Lord Yahweh. “Repent and turn around from all of your transgression, and it will not be as a stumbling block of iniquity to you.
“因此, 以色列家啊, 我必照着你们各人所行的审判你们. 你们回转吧! 离开你们的一切罪过吧! 免得罪孽成为你们的绊脚石. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

18:31 Throw away from yourselves all of your transgressions that you committed, and make for yourselves a new heart and new spirit, and so why will you die, house of Israel?
你们要把你们所犯的一切罪过弃掉, 为自己造一个新的心和新的灵. 以色列家啊, 你们为什么要灭亡呢?

18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying,” declares the Lord Yahweh. “And so repent and live!”
“我不喜悦任何人灭亡, 所以你们要回转, 得以存活. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 19

19:1 “And you, raise a lament about the leaders of Israel,
“你当为以色列的众领袖作一首哀歌,

19:2 and you must say, ‘What a lioness was your mother among the lions. She lay down in the midst of young lions, and she reared her lion cubs.
说: ‘你的母亲是什么? 是狮子群中的母狮, 它卧在少壮狮子群中, 养育它的小狮子.

19:3 And she raised up one from her cubs; he became a fierce lion, and he learned to tear prey; he ate humans.
它养大其中一只小狮子, 这幼狮成了一只少壮的狮子, 学会了撕碎猎物, 把人吃掉.

19:4 And nations heard about him; in their pit he was caught, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
列国听见了, 就把它困在他们的坑中; 他们用钩子把它带到埃及地去.

19:5 And she saw that she was waiting in vain; her hope was destroyed, and she took one from her cubs, and she made him a fierce lion.
母狮见自己所等候的落空了, 所希望的幻灭了, 就从它的小狮子中另取出一只, 使它成为少壮的狮子.

19:6 And he walked about in the midst of lions; he became a fierce lion, and he learned to tear prey; he ate humans.
它在狮子群中行走; 它已成了一只少壮的狮子, 它学会了撕碎猎物, 把人吃掉.

19:7 And he knew their widows, and he devastated their cities, and the land was appalled, and everyone in it at the sound of his roar.
它拆毁了他们的城堡, 使他们的城市荒凉; 因它吼叫的声音, 地和其中所充满的都惊恐.

19:8 And nations set out against him from the surrounding provinces, and they spread their net over him, and he was caught in their pit.
于是四围的列国从各地来攻击它, 把他们的网撒在它身上, 把它困在他们的坑中.

19:9 And they put him in a collar with hooks, and they brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into a prison, so that his voice would not be heard any longer on the mountains of Israel.
他们把它放进笼里, 用钩子带到巴比伦王那里, 囚在狱中, 使它的声音在以色列众山上不再听见.

19:10 Your mother was like the vine in your vineyard; planted fruitfully beside water, and it was full of branches from many waters.
“‘你的母亲像葡萄园里的一棵葡萄树, 栽种在水边; 因为水源充足, 结果累累,枝叶茂盛.

19:11 And she produced branches of strength to scepters of rulers; its height became tall between thick foliage, and it was seen because of its tallness among the abundance of its branches.
它有粗壮的树枝可作掌权者的杖; 它树身高大, 超乎其他茂密枝叶之上; 因为它树身高大, 枝子众多, 远远就可以看见.

19:12 But it was uprooted in rage; it was thrown to the earth, and the east wind dried up its fruit; they were stripped off, and its strong branch dried up; fire consumed it.
但这葡萄树因神的烈怒被拔起, 摔在地上; 东风使它的果子枯干散掉, 粗壮的树枝枯槁, 被火吞灭.

19:13 And now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land.
现在它被栽种在旷野, 在干旱无水之地.

19:14 And so fire has gone out from the stem of its branches; its fruit it has consumed, and there was not in it a strong branch, a scepter for ruling.’ ” This is a lament, and it will be used as a lament.
有火从树枝中的一根发出, 吞灭树的果子, 以致树上再没有粗壮的树枝, 可以作掌权者的杖. ’这是一首哀歌, 是一首流行的哀歌. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 20

20:1 And then in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, men from the elders of Israel came to consult Yahweh, and they sat before me.
第七年五月十日, 有几个以色列的长老来求问耶和华, 他们坐在我的面前.

20:2 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

20:3 “Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Are you coming to consult me? As I live, I will surely not allow myself to be consulted by you!” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
“人子啊! 你要告诉以色列的长老, 对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 你们来求问我吗? 我指着我的永生起誓, 我必不让你们求问我. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’

20:4 Will you judge them? Will you judge them, son of man? Make known to them the detestable things of their ancestors.
人子啊, 你要审问他们吗? 要审问他们吗? 你要使他们知道他们列祖那些可憎的事,

20:5 And you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “On the day of my choosing Israel I swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and I made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, and I swore to them, saying, ‘I am Yahweh your God.’
对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 在我拣选以色列的日子, 我向雅各家的后裔举手起誓, 又在埃及地向他们显现. 我向他们举手起誓说: 我是耶和华你们的神.

20:6 On that day I swore to them to bring them out from the land of Egypt to the land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey—it is the most beautiful of all of the lands.
那日, 我向他们举手起誓, 要把他们从埃及地领出来, 到我为他们所选定的流奶与蜜之地, 就是万邦中最荣美的地.

20:7 Then I said to them, ‘Let each one throw away the detestable things of his eyes, and you must not make yourselves unclean with the idols of Egypt! I am Yahweh your God.’
我对他们说: 你们各人要拋弃你们眼中那些可憎的像, 不可因埃及的偶像玷污自己: 我是耶和华你们的神.

20:8 But they rebelled against me, and they were not willing to listen to me; each one did not throw away the detestable things of their eyes; and they did not abandon the idols of Egypt, and I decided to pour out my rage on them, to fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
但是他们背叛了我, 不肯听从我; 他们各人没有拋弃他们眼中那些可憎的像, 没有离弃埃及的偶像. ”’那时我说, 我要把我的烈怒倾倒在他们身上, 在埃及地向他们完全发尽我的怒气.

20:9 “But I acted for the sake of my name to keep it from being profaned before the eyes of the nations among whom they lived, where I made known to them before their eyes, to bring them out from the land of Egypt.
然而我为了我名的缘故没有这样作, 免得我的名在他们寄居的列国的人眼中被亵渎, 我把他们从埃及地领出来, 在列国的人眼前向他们显现.

20:10 And I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and I brought them to the desert,
“‘这样我把他们从埃及地领了出来, 带到旷野.

20:11 and I gave my statutes to them, and my regulations I made known to them, which, if a person does them, then he will live by them.
我把我的律例赐给他们, 把我的典章指示他们; 人如果遵行, 就必因此活着.

20:12 And also my Sabbaths I gave to them to be a sign between me and between them so they would know that I, Yahweh, am the one sanctifying them.
我又把我的安息日赐给他们, 作我与他们之间的凭据, 使他们知道我是使他们分别为圣的耶和华.

20:13 “But in the desert the house of Israel rebelled against me; they did not walk in my statutes, and they rejected my regulations, which, if a person does them, he will live by them, and they greatly profaned my Sabbaths, and I decided to pour out my rage on them in the desert to destroy them,
可是以色列家在旷野背叛了我, 没有遵行我的律例, 弃绝了我的典章(人如果遵行这些, 就必因此活着), 大大亵渎了我的安息日, 那时我说我要把我的烈怒倒在他们身上, 在旷野把他们灭绝.

20:14 and I acted for the sake of my name, that it not be profaned before the eyes of the nations before whom I brought them out.
然而我为了我名的缘故没有这样作, 免得我的名在列国的人眼中被亵渎; 我曾在他们眼前把以色列人领出来.

20:15 And also I myself swore to them in the desert not to bring them into the land that I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey—it is the most beautiful of all of the lands—
我在旷野也曾经向他们举手起誓, 必不领他们到我赐给他们的流奶与蜜之地, 就是万邦中最荣美的地.

20:16 because they despised my judgments, and they did not walk in my statutes, and my Sabbaths they profaned, for their heart was going after their idols.
因为他们弃绝了我的典章, 没有遵行我的律例, 亵渎了我的安息日; 他们的心随从自己的偶像.

20:17 But my eye took pity on them by not destroying them, and I did not completely destroy them in the desert.
虽然这样, 我的眼还是顾惜他们, 不毁灭他们; 我没有在旷野把他们灭绝.

20:18 “And I said to their children in the desert, ‘You must not go in the statutes of your parents; you must not keep their regulations, and you must not make yourself unclean with their idols.
“‘我在旷野对他们的儿女说: 不要遵行你们祖先的律例, 不要谨守他们的典章, 也不要因他们的偶像玷污自己.

20:19 I, Yahweh, am your God, so go in my statutes and keep my regulations and do them.
我是耶和华你们的神; 你们要遵行我的律例, 谨守我的典章, 把它们实行出来.

20:20 And treat my Sabbaths as holy, and they will be a sign between me and between you that you may know that I, Yahweh, am your God.’
你们要把我的安息日分别为圣, 作我与你们之间的凭据, 使你们知道我是耶和华你们的神.

20:21 But the children rebelled against me; they did not walk in my statutes, and they did not observe my regulations, which if a person does them, then he will live by them. My Sabbaths they desecrated, and I decided to pour out my rage on them, to finish my anger against them in the desert.
可是他们的儿女背叛了我, 没有遵行我的律例, 也没有谨守实行我的典章(人如果遵行这些律例典章, 就必因此活着), 亵渎了我的安息日; 那时我说我要把我的烈怒倒在他们身上, 在旷野向他们发尽我的怒气.

20:22 But I withheld my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name not to be profaned before the eyes of the nations before whom I had brought them out before their eyes.
然而我为了我名的缘故缩手, 没有这样作, 免得我名在列国的人眼中被亵渎; 我曾在他们眼前把以色列人领出来.

20:23 What is more, I swore to them in the desert to scatter them among the nations and to disperse them in the lands,
我在旷野也曾经向他们举手起誓, 要把他们分散在列国, 四散在万邦;

20:24 because they did not do my regulations, and my statutes they despised, and my Sabbaths they profaned, and their eyes were after the idols of their ancestors.
因为他们没有遵守我的典章, 弃绝了我的律例, 亵渎了我的安息日, 他们的眼目注视着他们祖先的偶像.

20:25 And in turn I gave to them rules that were not good and regulations by which they will not live.
因此, 我也把不好的律例和不能借以存活的典章赐给他们;

20:26 And I defiled them through their gifts in sacrificing all of the first offspring of the womb, in order that I will cause them to be stunned, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.
他们使所有头生的都经火作供物, 所以我让他们玷污自己, 好叫他们惊惶, 知道我是耶和华. ’

20:27 “Therefore speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Again in this your ancestors blasphemed me at their display of infidelity toward me.” ’
“因此, 人子啊! 你要告诉以色列家, 对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 你们的列祖在对我不忠的这事上亵渎了我.

20:28 And I brought them to the land that I swore to give to them, and they saw every high hill and every leafy tree, and they offered their sacrifices, and they presented there the provocation of their offering, and they gave there their fragrant incense offering, and they poured out their libations there.
我领他们到了我曾经举手起誓要赐给他们的那地, 他们看见各高山和茂盛的树林, 就在那里献祭, 在那里奉上惹我发怒的供物, 也在那里献上馨香的祭, 并且在那里浇上他们的奠祭. ’

20:29 And I said to them, ‘What is the high place to which you are going?’ And it is called Bamah until this day.
我问他们: ‘你们所去的那高处是什么地方? ’于是那高处的名字叫巴麻, 直到今日.

20:30 Therefore thus say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “In the way of your ancestors will you defile yourself, and after their vile idols will you prostitute yourselves?
因此, 你要对以色列家说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 你们还照着你们祖先所行的玷污自己吗? 仍随着他们可憎的偶像行邪淫吗?

20:31 And when you lift up your gifts, sacrificing your children through the fire, you are defiling yourself through all of your idols until today, and will I let myself be consulted by you, house of Israel?” ’ As I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “I will not let myself be consulted by you!
你们奉上供物, 使你们的儿子经火, 用你们的一切偶像玷污自己, 直到今日. 以色列家啊, 我怎能让你们向我求问呢? 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓: 我决不让你们向我求问. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

20:32 And what you are planning, surely it will not be—that you are saying, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the clans of the lands, serving wood and stone!’
你们说: 我们要像列国的人, 像列邦的各族一样去事奉木头和石头. 你们心里所起的这意念, 必不能成就.

20:33 “As I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “surely with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with rage pouring forth I will reign as king over you!
“‘我指着我的永生起誓: 我必用大能的手, 伸出来的膀臂, 以及倒出来的烈怒, 统治你们. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

20:34 And I will bring you from the peoples, and I will gather you from the countries to which you were scattered with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with rage poured out.
我必用大能的手, 伸出来的膀臂, 以及倒出来的烈怒, 把你们从万族中领出来, 从你们所分散到的列邦招聚你们.

20:35 Then I will bring you to the desert of the peoples, and I will execute justice on you there face to face.
我要把你们带到万族的旷野, 在那里当面审判你们.

20:36 Just as I executed justice on your ancestors in the desert of the land of Egypt, likewise I will execute justice on you!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我怎样在埃及地的旷野审判你们的祖先, 也必怎样审判你们. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

20:37 “And I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
我必使你们从牧人的杖下经过, 使你们进入盟约的约束.

20:38 And I will purge the rebels from among you and the ones transgressing against me; I will bring them out from the land where they are living as aliens, but into the land of Israel they will not come, and then you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必从你们中间除净那些背叛和得罪我的人, 我虽把他们从寄居之地领出来, 可是他们不得进入以色列地; 这样, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

20:39 And you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Let each one go serve his idols now and after, if you are not listening to me, but my holy name you will not profane any longer with your gifts and with your idols.
以色列家啊, 至于你们, 主耶和华这样说: 你们各人去事奉自己的偶像吧! 只是将来你们必要听从我, 不可再以你们的供物和偶像亵渎我的圣名.

20:40 “For on my holy mountain, on the mountain of the height of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “there all of the house of Israel will serve me, all of them, in the land. I will take pleasure in them, and there I will accept your contributions and the best of your portions with all of your holy objects.
在我的圣山, 就是在以色列的高山, 以色列全家所有的人都要在那地事奉我; 我要在那里悦纳他们; 在那里向你们要举祭和初熟的土产, 以及一切圣物. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

20:41 I will accept you as a fragrant incense offering when I bring you out from the peoples and I gather you from the lands to which you were scattered, and I will show myself holy among you before the eyes of the nations.
我从万族中把你们领出来, 从你们所分散到的列邦召集你们的时候, 我必悦纳你们, 好像悦纳馨香的祭一样. 我要在列国的人眼前, 在你们中间显为圣.

20:42 And you will know that I am Yahweh when I bring you to the land of Israel, to the land that I swore to give to your ancestors.
我领你们进入以色列地, 就是进入我曾经举手起誓要赐给你们祖先的地以后, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

20:43 And you will remember there your ways, and all of your deeds by which you were made unclean, and you will feel a loathing for yourself for all of your evils that you have done.
在那里你们要想起你们玷污自己的所作所为, 又要为了自己所行的一切恶事而厌恶自己.

20:44 And you will know that I am Yahweh when I deal with you for the sake of my name and not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupted deeds, house of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
以色列家啊! 为了我名的缘故, 我没有照着你们的恶行和败坏的行为待你们, 这样, 你们就知道我是耶和华. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

20:45 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

20:46 “Son of man, set your face toward the way of the south, and preach to the south, and prophesy against the forest of the territory of the Negev.
“人子啊! 你要面向南方, 向南面发言, 说预言攻击南地田野的树林,

20:47 And you must say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am kindling against you a fire, and it will devour in you every fresh tree and every dry tree; the blaze of the flame will not be quenched, and all the surfaces from the south to the north will be scorched by it.
对南地的树林说: ‘你要听耶和华的话, 主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要在你中间点起火来, 吞灭你中间所有青绿和枯干的树; 猛烈的火焰必不熄灭; 从南到北遍地都要烧焦.

20:48 And all creatures will see that I, Yahweh, I kindled it—it will not be quenched!” ’ ”
所有的人都必看见是我耶和华使这火燃起来; 这火必不熄灭. ’”

20:49 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, they are saying about me, ‘Is he not posing a parable?’ ”
于是我说: “啊, 主耶和华啊! 人都指着我说: ‘这人不是在说比喻吗? ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 21

21:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

21:2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach to the sanctuaries, and prophesy to the land of Israel.
“人子啊! 你要面向耶路撒冷, 向圣所发言, 说预言攻击以色列地,

21:3 And you must say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, and I will draw out my sword from its sheath, and I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
你要对以色列地说: ‘耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要攻击你; 我要拔刀出鞘, 把义人和恶人都从你那里剪除.

21:4 Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword will go out from its sheath to all creatures from south to north.
我既然要把义人和恶人都从你那里剪除, 所以我的刀必要出鞘, 从南到北攻击所有的人;

21:5 And they will know, all creatures, that I, Yahweh, I will bring out my sword from its sheath; it will not return again!” ’
所有的人就知道我耶和华已经拔刀出鞘, 刀必不再入鞘了. ’

21:6 And you, son of man, groan with shaking hips, and you must groan with bitterness before their eyes.
人子啊! 至于你, 你要叹息, 在他们眼前弯着腰, 苦苦叹息.

21:7 And then when they say to you, ‘On account of what are you groaning?’ then you must say, ‘On account of the report, for it is coming, and every heart will be weak and all hands will hang limp and every spirit will be disheartened, and all knees will go like water.’ Look! It is coming, and it will happen!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
他们如果问你: ‘你为什么叹息呢? ’你就要回答: ‘是因为那将要来到的消息; 人人都必心慌意乱, 手都发软, 精神衰颓, 他们的膝都像水一般的柔弱. 看哪! 它要来到了. 这事一定要成就. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

21:8 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

21:9 “Son of man, prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord,’ say, ‘A sword, a sword is sharpened and is also polished.
“人子啊! 你要预言, 说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 有一把刀, 有一把磨利了的刀, 是擦亮了的刀;

21:10 It is sharpened to slaughter a slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Or will we rejoice? A rod, my son, is despising every tree.
磨利, 是为要大行杀戮, 擦亮, 是为要闪烁发光! 我们怎能快乐呢? 我的儿子藐视管教的杖和一切劝告(“劝告”原文作“木头”).

21:11 And he gives it to be polished, to be seized by the hand. It is sharpened—a sword—and it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.
这刀已经交给人擦亮, 可以握在手中使用; 这刀已经磨利擦亮了, 可以交在行杀戮的人手中. ’

21:12 Cry and wail, son of man, for it is against my people; it is against all of the princes of Israel. They are thrown to the sword with my people; therefore strike your thigh.
人子啊! 你要呼喊,哀号. 因为这刀要临到我的子民, 以及以色列所有的领袖; 他们与我的子民都要交在刀下; 所以你要拍腿悲叹,

21:13 For examine! And what if also the rod will not be despising?’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
因为考验必要来到, 你为什么要藐视那管教的杖呢? 这事必不得成功. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

21:14 And you, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands. And the sword will strike twice; let it happen a third time. It is a sword of the dead, the sword of the great dead that is surrounding them,
“人子啊! 至于你, 你要拍手说预言, 要接二连三地使用这杀人的刀, 就是导致极大死伤的刀, 把它们围困,

21:15 so that a heart melts, and the fallen multiply at all of their gates. I gave a sword for slaughter, and alas! It is made for flashing, it is grasped for slaughtering.
好使他们心慌意乱, 多人跌倒, 我在他们所有的城门那里布下了杀戮(“杀戮”原文意思不详, 这译法参古译本)的人; 啊! 这刀做得闪烁发光, 磨得尖利, 可以杀戮.

21:16 Gather together, strike to the right; cause to go to the left, where your edge is directed.
刀啊, 向右边斩吧! 向左边刺吧! 无论你面向哪一方, 就向哪一方杀戮吧!

21:17 And also I myself will clap my hands, and I will satisfy my rage! I, Yahweh, I have spoken.”
我也要拍手, 并且要使我的烈怒止息; 这是我耶和华说的. ”

21:18 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

21:19 “And you, son of man, mark out for yourself two roads for the coming of the sword of the king of Babylon; they must both go out from the same land. And hew out a signpost; hew it at the head of the road of the city.
“人子啊! 至于你, 你要定出两条路, 给巴比伦王的刀前来; 这两条路都从同一个地方出来; 你要在通往城去的路口上做一个路标.

21:20 You must mark a road for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the Ammonites and to Judah, in Jerusalem the fortified.
你要定出一条路, 使刀临到亚扪的拉巴, 又要定出另一条路, 使刀临到犹大, 攻击坚固城耶路撒冷.

21:21 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork of the road at the head of the two roads to practice divination. He shakes the arrows, he inquires with the teraphim, he examines the liver.
因为巴比伦王站在分叉路口, 在两条路口上占卜,摇签,求问神像, 察看动物的肝.

21:22 In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem, to put up battering rams, to open a mouth for slaughter, to raise the battle cry, to put up battering rams against gates, to build a siege ramp, to build siege works.
他右手中拿着耶路撒冷的签, 要在那里架起攻城锤, 下令屠杀, 扬声吶喊; 架起攻城锤, 攻打城门; 筑起土垒, 建造围城的高墙.

21:23 And it will be to them like practicing divination falsely in their eyes; they have sworn oaths for themselves. But he will bring their guilt to remembrance so as to seize them.
在那些曾经向巴比伦起誓效忠的犹大人看来, 这是虚假的占卜, 但巴比伦王要使他们想起自己的罪孽, 把他们掳去.

21:24 “Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because you have brought to remembrance your guilt by the uncovering of your transgressions, so that your sins in all of your deeds appear—because of your being remembered, you will be captured in the hand.’
因此, 主耶和华这样说: ‘你们的过犯显露, 你们的罪在你们的一切行为上给人看见; 以致你们的罪孽被想起. 你们既被想起, 就要被人用手掳去.

21:25 And as for you, profane one, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come with the time of the punishment of the end,
你这该死,邪恶的以色列王啊! 你的日子到了, 最后惩罚的时刻到了. ’

21:26 thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Remove the turban and lift off the crown; things are no longer the same. Exalt the low and bring low the high.
主耶和华这样说: ‘你当除去头巾, 脱下冠冕! 现在情形不同了, 卑微的要升高, 位高的要降卑!

21:27 A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I will make it! Also this has not ever happened; it will remain until the coming of the one to whom the judgment belongs and I have given it to him.’
倾覆, 倾覆, 我要倾覆这国, 这国不再存在, 直等到那统治的人来到, 我就把国赐给他. ’

21:28 And you, son of man, prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the Ammonites and concerning their disgrace,’ and you must say, ‘A sword, a sword is drawn for slaughtering; it is polished for holding, for flashing like lightning,
“人子啊! 你要说预言: 论到亚扪人和他们的侮辱, 主耶和华这样说: ‘你要说: 有一把刀, 有一把刀拔出来, 是为要杀戮; 擦亮, 是为要毁灭, 为要闪烁发光.

21:29 when seeing a false vision for you in vain, when practicing divination for you falsely, to give you on the neck of the profane ones of the wicked, whose day has come, the time of final punishment.
人为你所见的异象是虚假的, 为你所占的卜是虚谎的, 使你倒在该死的恶人的颈项上; 他们受惩罚的日子到了, 最后惩罚的时刻到了.

21:30 Return it to its sheath in the place where you were created. In the land of your origin I will judge you!
收刀入鞘吧! 我必在你被造之地, 根源之处, 审判你.

21:31 And I will pour out my anger on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and I will give you into the hand of brutal men, skilled craftsmen of destruction.
我必把我的忿怒倒在你身上, 把我的怒火喷在你身上, 又把你交在那些惯于毁灭的野蛮人手中.

21:32 You will be as fuel for the fire; your blood will be in the midst of the earth. You will not be remembered, for I, Yahweh, I have spoken.’ ”
你必当作燃料被火焚烧; 你的血要流在你的国中; 你必不再被记念, 因为这是我耶和华说的. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 22

22:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

22:2 “And you, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then you must make known to her all of her detestable things!
“人子啊, 你要审判吗? 你要审判这流人血的城吗? 你要使这城知道它一切可憎的事.

22:3 And you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “A city pouring out blood in the midst of her; its time has come, and it made idols for itself, becoming unclean.
你要说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 这城中有流人血的事, 它制造偶像, 玷污自己, 以致它受审判的时候来到.

22:4 By your blood that you poured out you have become guilty, and by your idols that you made you have become unclean, and you have brought your days near, and your appointed years have come. Therefore I have made you a disgrace for the nations and a laughingstock to all of the countries.
因你流了人的血, 你就有罪了; 因你做了偶像, 你就玷污了自己; 这样, 你使你受罚的日子临近, 遭报的年日来到, 我使你成为列国辱骂,列邦讥笑的对象.

22:5 The people near and the people far from you will make fun of you, the unclean and the terrified.
你这混乱喧嚷,名被玷污的城啊! 那些离你近的和离你远的, 都必讥笑你.

22:6 Look! The princes of Israel, each one according to his strength, they are in you for the shedding of blood.
看哪! 以色列的领袖们恃着自己的能力, 在你里面流人的血.

22:7 They have treated father and mother with contempt in you; they violated the alien with extortion; in the midst of you they mistreated the orphan and widow.
在你里面轻视父母的; 在你中间有压迫寄居的和欺负孤儿寡妇的.

22:8 You despised my holy objects; my Sabbaths you profaned.
你藐视了我的圣物, 亵渎了我的安息日.

22:9 Slanderous men are among you to shed blood, and they, among you, eat upon the mountains; they do wickedness in the midst of you.
在你里面有好谗谤的人, 他们要流人的血; 在你的山上吃祭肉; 又在你中间行淫乱的事.

22:10 They uncover the nakedness of a father among you; they violate a woman unclean of menstruation among you.
在你里面有暴露父亲下体的; 有污辱在经期中不洁的妇人的.

22:11 And a man does a detestable thing with the wife of his neighbor, and a man defiles his daughter-in-law in wickedness, and a man sexually violates among you his sister, the daughter of his father.
在你里面, 这人与邻舍的妻子行可憎的事; 那人行淫乱, 玷污自己的儿媳; 还有人污辱自己的同胞姊妹.

22:12 They take a bribe among you in order to shed blood; and you take usury, and you make gain from your neighbors by extortion, and so you have forgotten me, declares the Lord Yahweh.
在你里面有接受贿赂而流人血的; 你借钱给人, 收取利息, 并且多要; 你用欺压手段向你的邻舍榨取不义之财; 你更忘记了我. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

22:13 And look! I strike my hand for your ill-gotten gain that you have made and at your blood that was in the midst of you.
“‘看哪! 因你所得的不义之财, 又因在你中间所流的血, 我就拍掌.

22:14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong at the days in which I am dealing with you? I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will act!
到了我惩治你的日子, 你的心还能受得住吗? 你的手还有力吗? 我耶和华说了, 就必实行.

22:15 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will disperse you through the countries, and I will purge your uncleanness from you.
我要把你分散在列国, 四散在万邦; 我要从你中间消除你的污秽.

22:16 And I will be profaned by you before the eyes of the nations, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
你在列国眼前被玷污的时候, 你就知道我是耶和华. ’”

22:17 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

22:18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become as silver dross to me; all of them are as bronze and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace, even as silver dross, silver dross they became!
“人子啊! 以色列家在我看来已成了渣滓; 他们都是炉中的铜,锡,铁和铅; 就是银的渣滓.

22:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because all of you have become as silver dross, therefore look! I am gathering you to the midst of Jerusalem,
因此, 主耶和华这样说: ‘你们既然都成了渣滓, 所以, 我要把你们集合在耶路撒冷城中.

22:20 like the gathering of silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin to the middle of a furnace to blow fire on it for melting. Thus I will gather in my anger and in my rage, and I will deposit you, and I will melt you.
人怎样把银,铜,铁,铅,锡, 集合在炉中, 吹火使它们熔化, 我也照样在我的怒气,我的烈怒中, 把你们集合起来, 放在城中, 使你们熔化.

22:21 And I will gather you, and I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and so I will melt you in the midst of her.
我必集合你们, 把我烈怒的火吹在你们身上, 你们就必在城中熔化.

22:22 Thus you will be melted like the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, and you will know that I, Yahweh, I have poured out my rage on you.’ ”
银子怎样在炉中熔化, 你们也必照样在城中熔化; 你们就知道我耶和华把我的烈怒倒在你身上. ’”

22:23 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

22:24 “Son of man, say to her, ‘You are a land not cleansed; it is not rained upon in the day of indignation.’
“人子啊! 你要对这地说: ‘在忿怒的日子, 你是没有雨水(“没有雨水”这译法根据古译本, 原文作“未得洁净”), 没有甘霖之地’.

22:25 The conspiracy of its prophets in the midst of her is like a roaring lion that is tearing prey. They devour people, and they take wealth and treasure; they make its widows numerous in the midst of her.
其中的先知叛逆, 像吼叫的狮子撕碎猎物; 他们把人吞吃, 抢夺财物和珍宝, 使其中寡妇的数目增多.

22:26 Its priests treat my law violently, and they profane my holy objects; they do not distinguish between a holy object and what is unholy, or between the clean and the unclean. They do not teach the difference, and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and so I am profaned in the midst of them.
这地的祭司违反我的律法, 亵渎我的圣物; 他们不分别圣俗, 也不教导人分辨什么是洁净的和不洁净的, 又掩目不理我的安息日, 以致我在他们中间被亵渎.

22:27 Its officials are like wolves tearing prey in its midst, to pour out blood, to destroy people, to make dishonest gain.
其中的官长好像撕碎猎物的豺狼, 流人的血, 灭人的命, 为要得不义之财.

22:28 And for them its prophets plaster whitewash; they are seeing falseness and are practicing divination for them by lying, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh,’ and Yahweh has not spoken.
这地的先知用灰泥给他们粉刷墙壁, 为他们见虚假的异象, 行骗人的占卜, 说: ‘主耶和华这样说’, 其实当时耶和华并没有说话.

22:29 They severely oppress the people of the land, and they committed robbery, and they mistreated the needy and the poor, and they oppressed the alien without justice.
这地的人民常常欺压人, 惯行抢掠, 亏待困苦穷乏的人, 毫无公理地去欺压寄居的人.

22:30 And so I sought for them somebody, one repairing the wall and standing in the breach before me on behalf of the land not to destroy it, but I did not find anyone,
我在他们中间寻找一人重修墙垣, 在我面前为这地站在破口之处, 使我不毁灭这地, 我却找不到一个.

22:31 and so I poured out my indignation on them. With the fire of my wrath I destroyed them; I returned their way upon their head,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
所以我把我的忿怒倒在他们身上, 用我烈怒之火消灭他们, 把他们所行的报应在他们的头上. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 23

23:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

23:2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother,
“人子啊! 有两个女人, 都是同一个母亲生的.

23:3 and they prostituted themselves in Egypt in their childhood; they were prostituting themselves there, and their breasts were fondled, and there they caressed the bosoms of their virginity.
她们在埃及行邪淫, 在幼年的时候行了邪淫, 在那里她们的胸被人抚摩; 在那里她们处女的乳房被人抚弄.

23:4 Now as for their names, the older was Oholah, and Oholibah was her sister. And they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters, and their names are Samaria for Oholah, and Jerusalem for Oholibah.
姊姊的名字是阿荷拉, 妹妹的名字是阿荷利巴; 她们都嫁了给我, 并且生了儿女. 论到她们的名字, 阿荷拉就是撒玛利亚, 阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷.

23:5 And Oholah prostituted herself while she was still mine, and she lusted for her lovers, for Assyria who was nearby,
“阿荷拉嫁了我以后仍行邪淫, 恋慕她的爱人, 就是亚述的战士.

23:6 clothed in blue cloth, governors and prefects, handsome young men and all of them horsemen, experts on horseback.
他们穿着紫色衣服, 是作总督和省长的; 他们都是英俊的年轻人, 是骑着马的骑兵.

23:7 And she bestowed her fornication on them, on the choice ones of the Assyrians, all of them, and with every one after which she lusted; with all of their idols she defiled herself.
阿荷拉与这些亚述人中最美的男子行邪淫; 她因自己所恋慕的每一个人和这些人的偶像玷污了自己.

23:8 And her whorings from the time of Egypt she did not abandon, for they slept with her in her childhood, and they caressed the bosoms of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication on her.
她没有离弃在埃及时的淫乱; 那时她年幼, 人与她同睡, 抚弄她处女的乳房, 把他们的情欲发泄在她身上.

23:9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians after whom she lusted.
因此我把她交在她的爱人手里, 就是她所恋慕的亚述人手里.

23:10 They uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a name for the women, and they executed judgments against her.
这些人露出她的下体, 掳去她的儿女, 用刀杀了她, 使她在妇女中有了臭名, 因为他们向她施行惩罚.

23:11 “And though Oholibah her sister saw, yet in her lust she behaved more corruptly than her, and her whoring was more than the prostitution of her sister.
“她妹妹阿荷利巴虽然看见了, 却在自己情欲的事情上比姊姊更腐败, 她的淫乱比姊姊的淫乱更甚.

23:12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and prefects, warriors clothed in perfection, expert horsemen, all of them handsome young men.
她贪恋亚述人, 就是作总督和省长, 穿着华美衣服的战士, 骑着马的骑兵, 全都是英俊的年轻人.

23:13 And I saw that she was defiled; they had both taken the same path!
我看见她被玷污了; 她们姊妹两人所行的路都是一样.

23:14 And she increased her whorings, and she saw men carved on the wall, images of Chaldeans carved in red,
阿荷利巴又继续行淫; 她看见画在墙上的人像, 就是用鲜红的颜料所画的迦勒底人像,

23:15 belted with a belt at their waist with turbans on their heads, all of them giving the appearance of adjutants, the image of the Babylonians; Chaldea was the land of their birth.
这些像的腰间束着腰带, 头上有下垂的裹头巾, 他们看来像官长, 有巴比伦人的样子, 迦勒底是他们出生之地.

23:16 And she lusted for them when her eyes saw them, and she sent messengers to them at Chaldea.
阿荷利巴的眼一看见, 就恋慕他们, 派遣使者到迦勒底去见他们.

23:17 And so the Babylonians came to her for the bed of lovemaking; and they defiled her with their fornication, and she was defiled by them, and she turned from them.
于是巴比伦人来, 上了她爱情的床, 与她行淫玷污了她; 她被他们玷污以后, 心就与他们疏远.

23:18 And she revealed her whorings, and she revealed her nakedness, and so I turned from her just as I turned from her sister.
她既然显露了她的淫行, 露出了自己的下体, 我的心就与她疏远, 好像我的心从前与她姊姊疏远一样.

23:19 Yet she increased her whorings, recalling the days of her childhood when she was prostituted in the land of Egypt.
她还加倍行淫, 怀念她幼年在埃及地行淫的日子.

23:20 And she lusted after her male lovers whose genitalia were the genitalia of male donkeys and their seminal emission was the seminal emission of horses.
她恋慕她的情人, 他们的下体像驴的下体; 他们射精像马一样.

23:21 And you longed after the obscene conduct of your youth when your bosom was caressed by Egypt, fondling your young breasts.
这样, 你就渴想你幼年时的淫荡; 那时, 埃及人抚弄过你的乳房, 抚摩你年幼时的胸.

23:22 “Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am stirring up your lovers against you concerning whom you turned away, and I will bring them against you from all around:
“因此, 阿荷利巴啊! 主耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我必激动你的爱人攻击你, 就是你心所疏远的人; 我必带他们来从四面攻击你.

23:23 the Babylonians and all of the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all of the Assyrians along with them, handsome young men, governors and prefects, all of them adjutants and excellent horsemen.
他们就是巴比伦人,迦勒底人,比割人,书亚人,哥亚人, 与他们一起的还有亚述人, 他们都是英俊的年轻人, 是作总督和省长的, 作长官和战士的, 全部都是骑马的.

23:24 And they will come against you with an army chariot and wagon and with a crowd of peoples; they will set themselves against you from all around with large shield and small shield and helmet. And I will give before them judgment, and they will judge you with their judgments.
他们必带着兵器,马车,战车和大队人来攻击你; 他们要拿着大小盾牌, 戴着头盔, 从四面摆阵攻击你; 我要把审判的事交给他们, 他们必按着自己的惯例来审判你.

23:25 And I will direct my zeal against you, and they will deal with you in anger; your nose and your ears they will remove, and those who are left, they will fall by the sword, and they will take your sons and your daughters, and your remnant will be consumed by fire.
我必向你发泄我的妒忿, 他们必以烈怒待你; 割去你的鼻子和耳朵; 你余下的人必倒在刀下; 他们要掳去你的儿女; 你余下的人必被火吞吃.

23:26 And they will strip you of your clothes, and they will take your splendid jewelry.
他们必剥去你的衣服, 夺去你华丽的饰物.

23:27 And I will put an end to your obscene conduct coming from you and your fornication from the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them; and you will not remember Egypt again.’
这样, 我必使你的淫荡和你从埃及地沾染的淫乱离开你, 你的眼必不仰望他们, 你也必不再怀念埃及.

23:28 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am giving you into the hand of those you hated, into the hand of those from whom you turned away.
因为主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我必把你交在你所恨的人手里, 就是交在你的心所疏远的人手里.

23:29 And they will deal with you in hatred, and they will take all of your acquisitions, and they will leave you naked and in bareness; and the nakedness of your fornication and your obscene conduct and your whorings will be exposed.
他们必以憎恨待你, 夺去你一切劳碌得来的, 留下你赤身露体; 你行淫的下体,你的淫荡和淫乱, 都必显露出来.

23:30 These things are accomplished against you since you prostituted yourself after the nations, and on account of that, you defiled yourself by their idols.
这些事要行在你身上, 因为你随从列国行淫, 被他们的偶像玷污了自己.

23:31 You went in the same way of your sister, and I will give her cup into your hand.” ’
你走了你姊姊所走的路, 所以我必把她的杯交在你手里.

23:32 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You will drink the deep and wide cup of your sister; you will be as laughter and as scorn; the cup holds so much!
主耶和华这样说: 你必喝你姊姊所喝的杯, 那杯又深又阔, 容量甚大, 必使你成为嗤笑和讥讽的对象.

23:33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, for a cup of horror and desolation is the cup of your sister, Samaria.
你必酩酊大醉, 充满愁苦, 那是惊慌和荒凉的杯, 就是你姊姊撒玛利亚的杯.

23:34 And you will drink it, and you will drain it, and its potsherds you will gnaw, and you will tear out your breasts, for I myself spoke,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
你要喝这杯, 并且喝尽; 然后把这杯摔成碎块, 又抓伤自己的胸. 因为这是我曾说过的. ’这是主耶和华的宣告.

23:35 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because you have forgotten me, and you threw me behind your back, now in turn you bear your obscene conduct and your whorings.”
因此, 主耶和华这样说: ‘因为你忘记了我, 把我丢在背后, 所以你要担当你淫荡和淫乱的后果. ’”

23:36 And Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and declare their abominable deeds to them?
耶和华又对我说: “人子啊, 你要审判阿荷拉和阿荷利巴吗? 你要把她们可憎的事向她们说明,

23:37 For they committed adultery, and blood is on their hands, and they committed adultery with their idols, and even their children that they had borne for me—they sacrificed them as food!
因为她们行了奸淫, 手中染血, 与自己的偶像行奸淫, 他们甚至使自己给我所生的儿女经火, 献给偶像作食物.

23:38 Also they did this to me: they defiled my sanctuary on that day, and they profaned my Sabbaths,
此外, 同一天, 她们还向我作了这事, 就是玷污我的圣所, 又亵渎我的安息日.

23:39 and when they slaughtered their children for their idols, they came to my sanctuary on that day to profane it. And look, this is what they did in my house!
她们宰杀了自己的儿女献给偶像, 同一天又进了我的圣所, 把圣所亵渎. 这就是她们在我殿中所行的.

23:40 What is worse, they sent for men who come from a distant place, to whom a messenger was sent to them, and look! They came! Men for whom you bathed and painted your eyes, and you adorned yourself with an ornament.
况且你们打发使者去请人从远方来; 使者到了他们那里, 他们就来了. 为了他们, 你们洗澡,替眼部化妆,佩戴珠宝,

23:41 And you sat on a magnificent couch and a table prepared before her, and my incense and my olive oil you put on her.
你们坐在华丽的床上, 床前放置了一张桌子, 把我的香料和膏油放在上面.

23:42 And a sound of a carefree crowd was with it, and in addition to these men, a crowd of drunken men was brought in from the desert, and they put bracelets on their arms and a crown of splendor on their heads.
在那里有安逸无忧的群众发出喧哗的声音, 有粗俗的人和酒徒从旷野而来, 他们把手环戴在两个妇人的手上, 把美丽的冠冕戴在她们头上.

23:43 And I said to the one worn out with adulteries, ‘Now they will prostitute her concerning her fornication, even her.’
“我论到这个因行淫而衰颓的妇人说: 现在让人与她行淫吧, 因为她本来就是妓女.

23:44 And so they went to her like going to a female prostitute; and thus they went to Oholah and to Oholibah, the women of obscene conduct.
他们与她同睡; 人怎样与妓女同睡, 也怎样与阿荷拉和阿荷利巴那两个淫荡的妇人同睡.

23:45 But righteous men, they will judge them with the judgment of committing adultery, and with the judgment of shedding blood; for they were committing adultery, and blood was on their hands.”
然而必有义人判她们受淫妇和流人血的妇人所受的刑罚, 因为她们是淫妇, 她们手中染血.

23:46 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Bring up against them an assembly, and make them as a thing of horror and as plunder.
“因为主耶和华这样说: 我必使一大群人上来攻击她们, 使她们惊慌, 被人抢掠.

23:47 And an assembly must stone them with stones, and they must cut them down. With their swords they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and with fire they shall burn their houses.
这些人必用石头打她们, 用刀剑砍她们, 又杀戮她们的儿女, 放火烧毁她们的房屋.

23:48 And I will cause obscene conduct to cease from the land, and all of the women will be warned, and they will not do according to your wickedness.
这样, 我必使淫荡从这地止息, 好叫所有的妇人都受到警戒, 不敢照着她们的淫荡而行.

23:49 And they will repay your obscene conduct upon you, and the guilt of your idols you will bear, and you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
人要把你们行淫的报应归在你们身上; 你们要担当你们拜偶像的罪; 你们就知道我是主耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 24

24:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
第九年十月十日, 耶和华的话又临到我说:

24:2 “Son of man, write for yourself the name of the day, this very day. The king of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem on exactly this day!
“人子啊! 你要记下今天的日子, 因为巴比伦王就是在这一天围困耶路撒冷.

24:3 And deliver a proverb to the rebellious house, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Place the pot! Place it and also pour water into it.
你要向这叛逆的民族设比喻, 对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 把锅放在火上, 放好了, 就把水倒在锅里;

24:4 Gather its pieces to it, every good piece, thigh and shoulder, fill it with choice bones;
把肉块, 就是所有肥美的肉块, 腿肉和肩肉, 都放进锅里; 用上好的骨头把锅装满.

24:5 take the choicest of the flock, and also pile the bones under it; boil it vigorously; indeed, its bones boiled in the midst of it.” ’ ”
要选用羊群中最好的, 把柴堆放在锅底下, 使锅沸腾, 把骨头煮在锅中.

24:6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to the city of bloodguilt! A pot that has its rust in it; its rust did not go out from it. Bring it out piece by piece; one is as good as another.
“‘因此, 主耶和华这样说: 流人血的城, 就是长锈的锅, 有祸了! 它的锈未曾除掉, 要把锅里的东西一块一块取出来, 不必为它们抽签.

24:7 For her blood was in the midst of her; she put it on a bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
因为她所流的血还在城中; 她把血泼在光滑的磐石上, 不是倒在地上, 被尘土掩盖.

24:8 To stir up rage, to avenge myself through vengeance, I placed its blood on the barrenness of a rock, so that it may not be covered.”
我为了发烈怒, 好施行报应, 就把她的血倒在光滑的磐石上, 以致不得掩盖.

24:9 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to the city of bloodguilt! I, even I, will make the pile of wood great!
因此, 主耶和华这样说: 流人血的城, 有祸了! 我也必把柴堆加大.

24:10 Pile up the logs; kindle the fire; finish cooking the meat, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned.
你要多加柴枝, 点上火, 混和香料, 把肉煮烂, 使骨头烧焦;

24:11 And make it stand empty upon its burning coals so that it may become hot, and its copper may become molten and be melted in the midst of it, so that its uncleanness and its rust be consumed.
然后把空锅放在炭火上, 使锅烧热, 使铜烧红, 使其中的污秽熔化, 使它的锈得以除净.

24:12 Through effort she has caused weariness; its thick rust went not out of it. Its rust! Into the fire with its rust!
这锅真叫人疲累! 它厚厚的锈总没法除掉, 就是用火也不能除掉.

24:13 In your uncleanness is obscene conduct, because I cleansed you, but you were not clean from your uncleanness; you will not be clean again until I fully vent my rage on you.
你的污秽就是淫荡. 我想要洁净你, 你却不愿意洁净, 所以你的污秽再不能得到洁净, 直等到我向你发的烈怒止息.

“人子啊! 我要打击你, 把你眼中所喜爱的夺去, 你却不可悲哀, 不可哭泣, 也不可流泪.

24:17 Sigh in silence for the dead; you shall not make a mourning ceremony. Bind your turban on you, and you must put your sandals on your feet. You must not cover your upper lip, and the bread of mourners you shall not eat.”
只可静默地叹息, 不可为死人哀悼; 你的头上仍要缠着头巾, 脚上仍要穿着鞋子; 你不可蒙着脸, 也不可吃为丧家预备的食物. ”

24:18 And I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening, and I did in the morning just as I was commanded.

24:22 and you shall do just as I did: You shall not cover your upper lip, and you shall not eat the bread of mourners.
那时你们要照着我所行的去行; 你们不可蒙着脸, 也不可吃为丧家预备的食物.

24:23 And your turban must be on your heads, and your sandals must be on your feet. You shall not mourn, and you shall not weep, but you shall waste away because of your iniquities, and you shall groan to one another.
你们的头上仍要缠着头巾, 脚上仍要穿着鞋子; 你们不可悲哀, 不可哭泣; 但你们必因自己的罪孽相对叹息, 衰弱而死.

24:24 And Ezekiel will be to you as a sign; everything that he did you shall do; and when it comes you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
以西结必成为你们的一个兆头; 凡他所行的, 将来你们也要照样行. 这事来到, 你们就知道我是主耶和华. ’

24:25 “And you, son of man, will it not be that on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the delight of their eyes, and the longing of their inner self, their sons and daughters—
“人子啊! 我从他们中间夺去他们的堡垒,他们所喜欢的荣耀,他们眼所喜爱的,心所崇尚的和他们的儿女的时候,

24:26 on that day a survivor will come to you with the news.
岂没有逃脱的人来到你那里, 使你听见这事吗?

24:27 On that day your mouth shall be opened at the arrival of the fugitive, and you shall speak, and you shall not be silent any longer, and you shall be to them as a sign, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
那时, 你要向逃脱的人开口说话, 不再作哑巴. 你必成为他们的一个兆头. 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

“人子啊! 你要面对亚扪人, 说预言攻击他们.

你要对亚扪人说: ‘你们要听主耶和华的话. 主耶和华这样说: 我的圣所被亵渎, 以色列地荒凉, 犹大家被掳去的时候, 你说: “哈哈! ”

25:4 therefore look! I am giving you to the people of the East as a possession, and they will set up their encampments in you, and they will make in you their dwelling places; they themselves will eat your fruit and they themselves will drink your milk.
所以我要把你交给东方人作产业; 他们必在你那里安营, 在你那里设立居所; 他们必吃你的果子, 喝你的奶.

主耶和华这样说: 因为你手舞足蹈, 心存轻蔑, 因以色列地的遭遇而欢喜.

所以我必伸手攻击你, 把你交给列国作掠物; 我必从万族中剪除你, 使你从列邦中灭亡; 我必消灭你, 你就知道我是耶和华. ’”

25:8 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of Moab and Seir saying, ‘The house of Judah is like all of the nations,’
主耶和华这样说: “因为摩押和西珥说: ‘看哪! 犹大家与列国毫无分别’,

25:9 therefore, look! I am opening the side of Moab from the cities on its frontier, the glory of the land: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.
所以我必除去摩押一面的防守, 从边界的城市开始, 就是他们看为那地之荣美的伯．耶西末,巴力．免和基列亭.

25:16 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am stretching out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethites, and I will destroy the remainder of the seacoast.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要伸手攻击非利士人, 剪除基利提人, 消灭沿海剩下的人.

“人子啊! 因为推罗论到耶路撒冷说: ‘哈哈! 那万族的门已经破坏了, 向我打开了; 我必得丰满, 她却成了荒场! ’

26:3 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring up against you many nations like the stirring up of the sea stirring up its waves.
所以主耶和华这样说: ‘推罗啊! 我要与你为敌; 我必叫多国上来攻击你, 好像海使波浪涌上来一样.

26:4 And I will destroy the walls of Tyre, and they will demolish its towers, and I will scrape away its earthen dirt from it, and I will make it into a bare rock.
他们必毁坏推罗的城墙, 拆毁它的城楼; 我必刮净它的尘土, 使它成为光滑的磐石.

它必在海中作晒网的地方, 因为我已经说了. 这是耶和华的宣告. 它必成为列国的掠物,

26:6 and its daughters who are in the field with the sword, they will be killed; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
那些在陆地居住的推罗人必被刀剑所杀; 然后, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

26:7 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am bringing to Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, from the north, the king of kings, with horse and with chariot and with horsemen and his assembly and many people.
“‘因为主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要使诸王之王, 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒, 率领马匹,战车,骑兵和一支大军, 从北方来攻击推罗.

26:8 Your daughters he will kill in the field with the sword, and he will place against you siege works, and he will build against you a siege ramp, and he will raise against you a shield,
他必用刀剑杀戮你那些在陆地居住的人; 他必建造围城的高墙, 筑起土垒, 举起盾牌攻击你.

26:9 and the thrust of his battering ram he will direct against your walls, and your towers he will break down with his weapons.
他必用攻城锤攻击你的城墙, 用武器拆毁你的城楼.

26:10 From the abundance of his horses he will cover you with their fine dust; at the sound of horseman and wheel and chariot your walls will shake, at his coming into your gates like the entrance of a city that is being broken through.
因为他的马匹众多, 它们扬起的尘土必遮盖你; 他进入你的城门, 好像人进入已有破口的城, 那时, 你的城墙必因骑兵,车轮和战车的响声而震动.

26:11 With the hooves of his horses he will trample all of your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong stone pillars will tumble down to the earth.
他的马蹄必践踏你所有的街道; 他必用刀杀戮你的人民; 你坚固的柱子必倒在地上.

26:12 And they will plunder your wealth, and they will loot your merchandise, and they will break down your walls, and the houses of your delight they will break down, and your stones and your timbers and your earthen dirt they will cast into the midst of the water.
他们必掳去你的财富, 以你的货财为掠物; 他们必破坏你的城墙, 拆毁你华丽的房屋, 把你的石头,木头和瓦砾都投在水中.

26:13 And, I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your lyres will not be heard any longer.
我必使你唱歌的喧声止息; 人也再听不到你的琴声.

26:14 And I will make you into a bare rock, a place for the spreading out of dragnets. You will not be built again, for I, Yahweh, I have spoken,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必使你成为光滑的磐石; 你必成为晒网的地方; 你必不再被建造, 因为我耶和华已经说了. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’

26:15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre, “Will not the coastlands shake from the sound of your downfall, at the groaning of the wounded, at people being killed in the midst of you?
“主耶和华对推罗这样说: ‘杀戮在你中间发生, 受伤的人都在唉哼的时候, 众海岛岂不因你倾倒的声音而震动吗?

26:16 And all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, and they will remove their robes, and their beautiful garments of finished cloth they will take off. With terror they will be clothed, and on the ground they will sit, and they will tremble continually, and they will be appalled over you.
那时所有沿海的君王都必由王座下来, 除去朝服, 脱下刺绣的衣服; 披上战兢, 坐在地上, 不停发抖, 因你而惊骇.

26:17 And they will raise a lament over you, and they will say to you, ‘How you have been lost who was inhabited from the seas; the city that was praised, that was strong. It is located on the sea, and its inhabitants imposed their terror on all of its inhabitants.
他们必为你作一首哀歌说: 你这著名的城, 航海之人的居所, 在海上坚固有力的啊! 你和你的居民素来使惊恐临到所有住在那里的人身上, 你怎么绝了迹呢?

26:18 Now the coastlands will tremble at the day of your downfall, and the islands that are in the sea will be horrified because of your departure.’ ”
现在海岛的居民在你倾倒的日子, 都必战兢; 众海岛因你的毁灭而惊惶.

26:19 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when bringing up over you the deep, the great surging waters will cover you.
因为主耶和华这样说: 我使你成为荒废的城市, 像没有人居住的城镇; 我使深渊的水上升漫过你, 使大水淹没你,

26:20 And I will bring you down with those who are going down to the grave, an ancient people, and I will cause you to dwell in the world of the depths, in the ruins from of old with those who are going down to the grave, so that you will not be inhabited and have a place in the land of the living.
那时, 我要使你与那些下到阴府的人一起, 下到古时的人那里去; 我要使你住在地的深处, 就是住在久而荒废之地, 与那些下到阴府的人在一起, 以致你不再在活人的境界重现(“不再在活人的境界重现”, 这译法参考古译本, 原文作“不再返回, 我却要在活人境地显出荣耀”).

26:21 Sudden terrors I will bring on you, and you shall no longer exist; and you will be sought, and you will not be found again forever,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必使你遭遇可怕的灾祸, 你就不再存在了; 人虽然寻找你, 却永不再寻得着. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

“人子啊! 你要对推罗的君王说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 因为你心里高傲, 说: 我是神; 我在海的中心,坐在神的宝座上. 其实你不过是人, 并不是神, 你心里却自以为是神.

28:3 Look, are you wiser than Daniel, so that no secret is hidden from you?

28:7 therefore look! I am bringing strangers over you, the most ruthless of the peoples, and they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your splendor.

在杀戮你的人面前, 你还能说: 我是神吗? 在那些杀害你的人手里, 你不过是人, 并不是神.

你必死在外族人手里, 与未受割礼的人一样, 因为这是我曾说过的, 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

28:15 You were blameless in your ways from the day when you were created, until wickedness was found in you.
从你被造的日子起, 你的行为都无可指摘, 直到在你中间有了罪孽为止.

28:16 In the abundance of your trading, they filled the midst of you with violence, and you sinned; and I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I expelled you, the guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
因你的贸易昌盛, 你中间就充满了强暴的事, 你也犯了罪, 所以我把你当作污秽之物, 从神的山把你拋弃. 护卫宝座的基路伯啊! 我要把你从闪耀如火的宝石中除掉.

28:17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you ruined your wisdom because of your splendor. I threw you on the ground before kings; I have exposed you for viewing.
你因自己的美丽心里高傲, 又因你的光彩败坏了你的智慧. 所以我把你拋在地上; 放在列王面前, 好让他们观看.

28:18 From the abundance of your iniquities in the dishonesty of your trading, I profaned your sanctuaries and I brought fire from your midst; it consumed you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth before the eyes of everyone who sees you.
你因罪孽众多, 又因贸易上的罪恶, 玷污了你的圣所, 因此我使火从你中间出来, 这火要吞灭你. 我要在所有观看你的人眼前, 把你变为地上的灰烬.

28:19 All who know you among the peoples are appalled over you; you have become as horrors, and you shall cease to exist forever.” ’ ”
万族中认识你的, 都必因你惊骇; 你必遭遇可怕的灾祸, 你就永远不再存在了. ’”

28:20 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

28:21 “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon and prophesy against it,
“人子啊! 你要面向西顿, 说预言攻击它,

28:22 and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, Sidon, and I display my glory in the midst of you, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I execute my judgments, and I will show myself holy within it.
你要说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 西顿啊, 我要与你为敌! 我要在你中间得荣耀. 我在它身上施行审判, 彰显我的圣洁的时候人就知道我是耶和华.

28:23 And I will send into it a plague, and blood will be in its streets. And the dead will fall in the midst of her by the sword that is against it from all around; and they will know that I am Yahweh.
我必使瘟疫进入西顿, 使血流在它的街上; 必有刀剑四围攻击它, 使被杀的人倒在城中, 人就知道我是耶和华.

28:24 And there will not be any longer a painful thorn and a sharp thornbush for the house of Israel from anywhere around them from those who are despising them, and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.” ’ ”
四围一切恨恶以色列家的人, 必不再向他们作刺人的荆棘,使人痛苦的蒺藜. 人就知道我是主耶和华.

28:25 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples to which they were scattered about in them, and I show myself holy in them before the eyes of the nations, then they will live on their soil, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
“‘主耶和华这样说: 我把以色列家从他们所分散到的万族中招聚回来的时候, 我必在他们身上向列国显为圣, 以色列家必在自己的地方, 就是赐给我仆人雅各的地.

28:26 And they will live on it in safety, and they will build houses, and they will plant vineyards, and they will live in safety when I execute my judgments on all those who despise them from all around them, and then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”
他们必安然居住, 建造房屋, 栽种葡萄园; 我向四围所有恨恶他们的人施行审判以后, 他们必安然居住; 人就知道我是耶和华他们的神. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 29

29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
第十年十月十二日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

29:2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against Egypt, all of it.
“人子啊! 你要面向埃及王法老, 说预言攻击他和埃及全地.

29:3 Speak, and you must say, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great sea monster, the one lying down in the midst of his Nile streams, who says to me, “It is my Nile, and I made it for myself.”
你要说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 埃及王法老啊! 我要与你为敌, 你这卧在自己河中的大海怪, 你曾经说过: “这河是我的, 是我自己造的. ”

29:4 And so I will put hooks in your jawbones, and I will make the fish of your Nile streams stick to your scales, and I will bring you up from the midst of your Nile streams, and all of the fish of your Nile streams which cling to your scales.
但我耶和华必用钩子钩住你的腮颊, 使你河中的鱼都紧贴着你的鳞甲, 我必把你和你河中所有紧贴着你的鳞甲的鱼, 都从你河中拉上来.

29:5 And I will fling you to the desert, you and all the fish of your Nile streams. On the surface of the field you will fall; you will not be gathered, and you will not be assembled. To the animals of the field and to the birds of the heavens I will give you as food.
我必把你和你河中所有的鱼, 都丢在旷野; 你必倒在田间, 无人收殓, 无人埋葬. 我已经把你给了地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟作食物.

29:6 And all of the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because of their being a staff of reed for the house of Israel.
埃及所有的居民就都知道我是耶和华. 因为你作了以色列家芦苇的杖.

29:7 When they took hold of you with the hand, you snapped, and you split their every shoulder. And when they leaned on you, you broke, and you caused all of their loins to wobble.”
他们用手抓住你的时候, 你就断裂, 伤了他们的肩头; 他们倚靠你, 你就折断,扭伤了他们的腰.

29:8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am bringing on you a sword, and I will cut off from you human and animal.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我必使刀剑攻击你, 把人和牲畜都从你那里剪除.

29:9 And the land of Egypt will become a desolation and ruins, and they will know that I am Yahweh because he said, ‘The Nile is mine! And I, I made it!’
埃及地必荒凉废弃, 人就知道我是耶和华. ”’因为法老曾说: “这河是我的, 是我自己做的. ”

29:10 Therefore look! I am against you and against your Nile streams, and I will make the land of Egypt into ruins, a pile of rubble, a desolation from Migdol to Syene and up to the boundary of Cush.
所以我必与你和你的河为敌; 我必使埃及地, 从密夺到色弗尼, 直到古实边界, 都全然荒凉废弃.

29:11 A foot of a human will not pass over it, and a foot of an animal will not pass over it, and so it will not be inhabited for forty years.
人的脚必不经过那里, 兽的蹄也不经过那里; 四十年之久, 无人居住.

29:12 And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and its cities to be in the midst of ruined cities. They will be a desolation for forty years, and I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them among the countries.”
我必使埃及成为荒地中的荒地, 四十年之久, 它的城必成为废城中的废城. 我必把埃及人分散到列邦, 四散在各地.

29:13 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.
“‘主耶和华这样说: 满了四十年, 我必把埃及人从他们所分散到的万族中招聚回来.

29:14 And I will restore the fortunes of Egypt, and I will bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and they will be a lowly kingdom there.
我必使埃及被掳的人归回, 使他们归回自己根源之地巴忒罗, 在那里他们必成为低微的国.

29:15 Of all the kingdoms it will be the most lowly, and it will not exalt itself again over the nations, and I will make them small so as not to rule over the nations.
这国必成为列国中最低微的, 也必不能再攀到列国之上; 我必使他们弱小, 以致他们不能再管辖列国.

29:16 And it will not be again for the house of Israel an object of trust, bringing to remembrance their guilt when they turned back to them, and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
埃及必不再作以色列家的倚靠; 每逢以色列家转去仰赖埃及人的时候, 他们就想起自己的罪孽. 这样, 他们就知道我是主耶和华. ’”

29:17 And then in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
二十七年正月初一日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

29:18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, he made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was rubbed bare, and every shoulder was rubbed raw, but a wage was not paid for him and for his army from Tyre for the labor that he did against it.”
“人子啊! 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒使他的军兵千辛万苦攻打推罗, 以致各人都头秃肩破; 但是他和他的军兵攻打推罗所付出的辛劳, 并没有从那里得到什么报酬.

29:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am giving to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he will carry its wealth away, and he will plunder its plunder, and he will loot its loot, and it will be a wage for his army.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我必把埃及地赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒, 他把埃及的财富带走, 抢其中的财为掳物, 夺其中的货为掠物, 作他军兵的报酬.

29:20 As his wages that he worked for, I will give to him the land of Egypt, because they worked for me,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我把埃及地赐给他, 作辛劳的报酬, 因为他们都是为我效力的. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

29:21 “On that day I will cause power to grow up for the house of Israel, and for you I will give an opening of your mouth in the midst of them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
到了那天, 我必使以色列家的角生出来, 我也必使你以西结在他们中间开口. 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 30

30:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

30:2 “Son of man, prophesy, and you must say, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Wail, alas! For the day!
“人子啊! 你要说预言: ‘主耶和华这样说: 你们要哀号: 那一天有祸了!

30:3 For a day is near; indeed, a day is near for Yahweh. A day of cloud, a time of the nations it will be.
因为那一天临近了, 耶和华的日子临近了, 就是密云的日子, 列国受罚的时候.

30:4 And a sword will come in Egypt, and anguish will be in Cush, at the falling of the slain in Egypt. And they will take its wealth, and its foundation will be demolished.
必有刀剑临到埃及, 被杀的人倒在埃及的时候, 在古实就有痛苦; 埃及的财富必被夺去, 它的根基必被拆毁.

30:5 Cush and Put and Lud and all of Arabia and Kub and the people of the land of the treaty with them—by the sword they will fall.”
古实人,弗人,路德人,所有外族的人,吕彼亚(“吕彼亚”原文作“古巴”)人, 以及与埃及结盟的人, 都必与埃及人一起倒在刀下.

30:6 Thus says Yahweh: “And the supporters of Egypt will fall, and the majesty of its strength will go down from Migdol to Syene; by the sword they will fall in it,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
“‘耶和华这样说: 那些支持埃及的必倾倒, 埃及所夸耀的势力必衰落. 从密夺到色弗尼, 他们都必倒在刀下; 这是主耶和华说的:

30:7 “And they will be desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and its cities will be in the midst of ruined cities.
埃及必成为荒地中的荒地, 它的城必成为废城中的废城.

30:8 And they will know that I am Yahweh when I put my fire in Egypt, and all of its helpers are broken.
我在埃及点起火来的时候, 所有帮助埃及的都必灭亡; 那时他们就知道我是耶和华.

30:9 On that day messengers will go down from before me in the ships to terrify unsuspecting Cush, and anguish will be in them on the day of Egypt; for look, it is coming!”
那一天, 必有使者从我面前乘船出去, 使安逸无虑的古实人惊慌; 在埃及遭难的日子, 必有痛苦临到他们. 看哪! 这事来到了!

30:10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “And I will put an end to the crowds of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon.
主耶和华这样说: “‘我必借着巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手, 消灭埃及的财富.

30:11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations, will be brought to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords against Egypt, and they will fill the land with the slain,
他和跟随他的人, 就是列国中最强横的人, 必被领进来, 毁灭这地; 他们必拔出刀来攻击埃及, 使遍地满了被杀的人.

30:12 and I will make the Nile streams dry land, and I will sell the land into the hand of bad people, and I will lay waste the land and its fullness by the hand of strangers. I, Yahweh, I have spoken.”
我必使江河干涸, 把这地卖给恶人; 我必借着外族人的手, 使这地和其中所充满的, 都变成荒凉. 我耶和华已经说了.

30:13 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “And I will destroy the idols, and I will put an end to the worthless idols from Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt, and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
主耶和华这样说: “‘我必毁灭偶像, 使虚无的神像从挪弗灭绝. 必不再有君王从埃及地而出; 我也必使惧怕临到埃及地.

30:14 And I will lay waste Pathros, and I will set fire in Zoan, and I will execute judgments in No.
我必使巴忒罗荒凉, 也必在琐安点起火来, 又向挪施行审判.

30:15 I will pour out my rage over Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, and I will cut off the crowd of No.
我必把我的烈怒倒在训上, 就是埃及的保障, 并要剪除挪的众民.

30:16 And I will set fire in Egypt, certainly Sin will writhe, and No will be breached, and Memphis will face enemies daily.
我必在埃及点起火来; 训必有大痛苦; 挪必被攻破; 挪弗必终日受难.

30:17 The young men of On and Pi Beseth will fall by the sword, and they will go into captivity.
亚文和比伯实的年轻人都必倒在刀下; 这些城的人必被掳去.

30:18 And at Tahpanhes the day will become dark when I break the yoke of Egypt, and in it the majesty of its strength will come to an end. A cloud will cover it, and its daughters will go into captivity.
我在答比匿折断埃及众轭的时候, 白昼就必变为黑暗; 埃及所夸耀的势力必在其中止息; 这城必有密云遮盖, 城中的居民必被掳去.

30:19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
我必这样向埃及施行审判, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

30:20 And then in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十一年正月初七日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

30:21 “Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, I have broken. And look, it has not been bound up for giving of a remedy, or for the placing of a splint to bind it up to make it strong to take hold of the sword.”
“人子啊! 我折断了埃及王法老的膀臂; 看哪! 没有人把它包扎治疗, 没有人用绷带把它缠裹, 好让它有力量拿起刀来.

30:22 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will break his strong arm and the broken arm, and I will let the sword fall from his hand.
因此, 主耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我与埃及王法老为敌; 我必打断他有力的膀臂, 和已经折了的膀臂, 使刀从他的手中掉下.

30:23 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them among the countries.
我必把埃及人分散到列邦, 四散在各地.

30:24 And I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babylon, and I will give my sword into his hand, and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan with the groaning of the mortally wounded before him.
“‘我必使巴比伦王的膀臂有力量, 把我的刀交在他手中; 我要折断法老的膀臂, 使他在巴比伦王面前呻吟, 像一个受伤快死的人一样.

30:25 And I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they will know that I am Yahweh when I give my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will stretch it out to the land of Egypt.
我必使巴比伦王的膀臂有力量, 法老的膀臂却要下垂. 我把我的刀交在巴比伦王手里, 使他举刀攻击埃及地的时候, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

30:26 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them into the countries, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
我必把埃及人分散到列邦, 四散在各地; 他们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 31

31:1 And then in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十一年三月初一日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

31:2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his crowd, ‘To whom are you like in your greatness?
“人子啊! 你要对埃及王法老和他的众民说: ‘论到你的伟大, 谁能与你相比呢?

31:3 Look! Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and a forest giving shade, and very high, and its treetop was between the clouds.
看哪! 亚述曾是黎巴嫩的香柏树, 枝条秀美, 林影茂密, 树身高大, 树顶在茂密的枝叶之上.

31:4 Waters made it great, the deep made it grow high; its rivers were going all around its planting area, and its channels it sent out to all of the trees of the field.
众水使它长大, 深渊使它长高; 有江河从深渊流出环绕它栽种之地, 又有支流延到田间的众树.

31:5 Therefore it became tall, with its height more than all of the trees of the field, and its branches became numerous, and its branches became long from its sending its shoots from abundant water.
因此, 它树身高大, 高过田间的众树; 它发旺生长的时候, 因为水源丰足, 所以枝子繁多, 枝条长长.

31:6 In its branches all the birds of the heaven made their nest, and under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth, and in its shadow all the many nations lived.
空中的飞鸟都在枝上搭窝; 田野的走兽都在枝条下生产; 所有大国都在它的树荫下居住.

31:7 And it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its root was toward much water.
它树身高大, 枝条长长而显得秀美, 因为它的根扎在水多的地方.

31:8 Cedars in the garden of God could not be equal to it; fir trees could not resemble its branches, and plane trees were not even like its branches; any tree even in the garden of God could not resemble it in its beauty.
神园中的香柏树不能与它相比, 松树比不上它的枝子; 枫树也不及它的枝条; 神园中所有的树木都比不上它的秀美.

31:9 I made it beautiful with the abundance of its branches, and all of the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied it.’ ”
我使它因枝条繁多而显得秀美, 以致在神的园中, 伊甸所有的树木都嫉妒它.

31:10 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because it was tall in height and it set its treetop between thick clouds, and he took pride in his tallness,
“‘因此, 主耶和华这样说: 因为它树身高大, 树顶在茂密的枝叶之上, 又因它高大而心骄气傲,

31:11 then I gave it into the hand of the leader of nations; he dealt thoroughly with it according to its wickedness. I drove it out.
我就把它交在列国中为首的人手中, 他必定对付它; 因着它的罪恶, 我就把它驱逐出去.

31:12 And strangers cut it off, the most ruthless of nations, and they abandoned it. On the mountains and in all of the valleys its branches fell, and its branches were broken in all the river channels of the land, and all the peoples of the world went out from its shadow, and they abandoned it.
必有外族人, 就是列国中最强暴的, 把它砍下丢弃. 它的枝叶落在山上和所有的谷中; 它的枝子折断, 落在地上所有的水沟里; 地上的万族都必走离它的荫下, 把它丢弃.

31:13 On its fallen trunk all the birds of the heaven now dwell, and all the animals of the field were on its branches.
空中的飞鸟都住在倒下的树身上, 田野的走兽都卧在它的枝条间.

31:14 This occurred so that all of the trees with abundant water will not become tall, and they will not set their treetop between their thick foliage, and so thatall of the trees that are abundantly watered will not stand up to them in their tallness, for all of them, they have been given over to death, to the world below in the midst of mortals, to the people going down to the grave.”
好使水旁所有的树木都不会因树身高大而自高, 也不会使树顶长到茂密的枝叶上, 又使一切有水滋润的树都不会高傲地屹立; 因为他们在世人中, 与那些下到阴府的人一起, 都交与死亡,交与地的深处了.

31:15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “On the day of its going down to Sheol, I caused mourning; I covered over it with the deep, and I withheld its rivers, and many waters were restrained, and I brought gloom over it; Lebanon and all of the trees of the field, they had fainted because of it.
“‘主耶和华这样说: 它下阴间的日子, 我就因它以悲哀遮盖深渊, 阻塞深渊的江河, 使大水停流; 我要使黎巴嫩为它悲伤,田野所有的树木都因它枯干.

31:16 From the sound of its downfall I caused nations to shake when I made it go down to Sheol, with the people going down to the grave, and so in the world below all of the trees of Eden, the choice and the best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees were comforted!
我把它扔下阴间, 与那些下到阴府的人一起的时候, 我就使列国因它坠落的响声而震惊. 伊甸所有的树木, 就是黎巴嫩有水滋润,最佳最美的树, 都在地的深处得到安慰.

31:17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who died by the sword, and its army who had lived in its shadow in the midst of nations.
这些树与它一同下到阴间, 往那些被刀剑所杀的人那里去. 他们作过它的膀臂, 曾在列国中住在它的荫下.

31:18 To whom could you be compared, whether in glory or in majesty among the trees of Eden? And yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the world below; in the midst of the uncircumcised you will lie with those who died by the sword. That is Pharaoh and his entire crowd!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
在伊甸所有的树木中, 有谁的荣美和高大能与你相比呢? 然而你却要与伊甸的树木一同下到地的深处. 你要在没有受割礼的人中, 与被刀剑所杀的人一同躺卧. 这树就是法老和他的众民. 这是主耶和华说的. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 32

32:1 And then in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十二年十二月初一日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

32:2 “Son of man, raise a lament over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you must say to him, ‘With a fierce, strong lion among nations you compared yourself, and you are like the sea monster in the seas, and you thrash about in your rivers, and you make water turbid with your feet, and you make your rivers muddy.
“人子啊! 你要为埃及王法老作一首哀歌, 对他说: ‘你像列国中的少壮狮子, 又像海中的海怪, 你在河中翻腾, 用你的爪搅动河水, 使江河浑浊.

32:3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Now I will spread my net over you in the assembly of many peoples, and I will bring you up in my dragnet.
主耶和华这样说: 我必用多国的群众, 把我的网撒在你身上, 他们必用我的网把你拉上来.

32:4 And I will throw you on the ground; on the surface of the open field I will hurl you, and I will cause every bird of the heaven to dwell on you, and I will satisfy the animals of all of the world from you.
我必把你丢弃在地上, 拋掷在田野, 使空中的飞鸟都住在你身上, 使地上所有的野兽都吃你而得饱足.

32:5 And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and I will fill the valleys with your carcass.
我必把你的肉丢在山上, 把你高大的尸体填满山谷.

32:6 And I will water the land with your discharge from your blood on the mountains, and valleys will be filled from you.
我必用你流出的血浇灌地面, 直到山上, 水沟都必充满你的血.

32:7 And I will cover you at extinguishing your heavens, and I will make dark their stars, and I will cover the sun with the cloud, and the moon will not give its light.
我毁灭你的时候, 必把天遮蔽, 使天上的星昏暗, 用密云遮盖太阳; 月亮也必不发光.

32:8 All sources of light in the heavens, I will make them dark over you, and I will put darkness on your land,’ ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必使天上所有的光体都在你以上变为昏暗; 我必使黑暗笼罩你的地; 这是主耶和华的宣告.

32:9 “And I will disturb the hearts of many peoples at my bringing about your captivity among the nations, to countries that you do not know.
我使你在列国中灭亡的消息, 传到你所不认识的列邦的时候, 我必使万族的心感到不安.

32:10 And I will cause many peoples to be awestruck over you, and their kings will shudder over you in horror, at my brandishing my sword before their faces, and they will tremble continually, each person for his life, on the day of your downfall.”
我在他们面前向你挥动刀剑的时候, 他们必因你惊骇, 他们的君王也必因你非常恐慌; 在你倾覆的日子, 他们各人都必为自己的性命时刻战兢.

32:11 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The sword of the king of Babylon, it will come to you.
“‘主耶和华这样说: 巴比伦王的刀必临到你.

32:12 By the swords of warriors I will cause to fall your hordes by the most ruthless of the nations, all of them, and they will devastate the majesty of Egypt, and all of its hordes will be destroyed.
我必借着勇士的刀使你的众民倒下, 这些勇士都是列国中最强横的人. 他们必毁灭埃及所夸耀的; 埃及的众民都必消灭.

32:13 And I will destroy all her domestic livestock beside many waters. The feet of humans will not make them turbid again, and the hooves of domestic livestock will not make them turbid.
我必从众水的旁边, 除灭埃及所有的牲畜; 人的脚必不再搅浊这些水, 牲畜的蹄也不这样作.

32:14 Then I will make their waters settle, and their rivers as the olive oil I will let flow,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
那时, 我必使众水澄清, 使江河的水像油一样缓流; 这是主耶和华的宣告.

32:15 “Then I make the land of Egypt a desolation, so that the land will be stripped from its fullness when I strike all of those dwelling in it, and they will know that I am Yahweh.
我使埃及地荒凉, 使这地失去它所充满的, 又击杀其中所有的居民. 那时, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

32:16 This is a lament, and they will chant it as a lament; the daughters of the nations will chant it as a lament over Egypt, and over all of its hordes they will chant it as a lament,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
这就是人为埃及所唱的哀歌, 列国的女子必唱这哀歌; 她们必为埃及和它的众民唱这哀歌. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

32:17 And then in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十二年十二月十五日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

32:18 “Son of man, mourn over the hordes of Egypt, and make her go down, and with her the daughters of mighty nations, down to the deep underworld with the people going down to the grave.
“人子啊! 你要为埃及的众民哀号, 要把埃及和强国的女子, 与下坑的人一同送到地府那里.

32:19 You are more lovely than whom? Go down and be laid in rest with the uncircumcised.
你要对埃及说: ‘你比谁更优越呢? 你下去与那些没有受割礼的人一起长眠吧! ’

32:20 In the midst of the people slain by the sword it is given they will fall to a sword; they carried her off and all of her hordes.
他们必倒在那些被刀所杀的人中间; 刀既拔出, 埃及和它的众民都要被拉下去.

32:21 The chiefs of the warriors will speak to him from the middle of Sheol; with his helpers they have gone down; the uncircumcised lie still, those slain by the sword.
勇士中最强的必在阴间论到埃及和帮助埃及的说: ‘他们已经下来了, 他们与没有受割礼的, 就是被刀所杀的人, 一起长眠. ’

32:23 who will be given its graves in the remote areas of the pit, and its assembly will be all around its grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, those who spread terror in the land of the living.
他们的坟墓是放在坑中极深之处, 亚述的众军都在它坟墓的周围, 全是被杀死的, 是倒在刀下的; 他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地.

32:24 Elam is there and all of its hordes, all around its grave, all of them dead who fell by the sword, those who went down uncircumcised to the depths of the underworld, those who spread their terror to the land of the living, and now they bear their disgrace with the people going down to the grave.
“以拦也在那里, 它的众民都在它坟墓的周围, 全是被杀死的, 是倒在刀下的; 他们没有受割礼而下到地府去; 他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地, 现在他们与下坑的人一同担当自己的羞辱.

32:25 In the midst of the slain they made a bed for her with all of her hordes all around its graves, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, for their terror was spread in the land of the living, and they now bear their disgrace with the people going down to the grave; in the midst of the slain it was placed.
在被杀的人中, 有床为它和它的众民安设; 他们的坟墓都在它周围; 他们都是没有受割礼的, 是被刀所杀的; 他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地. 现在他们与下坑的人一同担当自己的羞辱; 以拦被安置在被杀的人中间.

32:27 And they do not lie with warriors fallen from long ago, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and they placed their sword under their heads, and their shields were on their bones, for the terror of the warriors was in the land of the living.
他们不都是与那些没有受割礼而倒毙的勇士一起长眠吗? 这些勇士都带着兵器下到阴间, 刀剑都放在自己的头下. 他们的罪孽是在自己的骨头上. 他们曾使惊恐散布在活人之地.

32:28 And you too in the midst of uncircumcised people will be broken, and you will lie with those slain by the sword.

Ezekiel - Chapter 33

33:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

33:2 “Son of man, speak to your people, and you must say to them, ‘A land, if I bring over it a sword and the people of the land take a man, one from their number, and they appoint him for them as a watchman,
“人子啊! 你要告诉你本国的人, 说: ‘我使刀剑临到一地, 那地的人民从他们中间选出一个人, 作他们的守望者;

33:3 and he sees the sword coming against the land, and he blows on the horn and he warns the people,
这人见刀剑临到那地, 就吹响号角, 警告众人;

33:4 and anyone who listens hears the sound of the horn and he does not take warning and the sword comes and it takes him, his blood will be on his own head.
凡听见号角声而不接受警告的, 刀剑若来把他除灭, 他的罪(“罪”原文作“血”)就要归到自己的头上;

33:5 For he heard the sound of the horn and he did not take warning; his blood will be on him. But if he took warning, he saved his life.
他既然听见号角声而不接受警告, 所以他的罪(“罪”原文作“血”)要归到自己的身上; 他若接受警告, 就可以救回自己的性命了.

33:6 And as for the watchman, if he sees the sword coming and he does not blow the horn, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and it takes their lives, he will be taken through his guilt, but his blood from the hand of the watchman I will seek.’
但是, 那守望的人若见刀剑临到, 却不吹响号角, 以致人民没有受到警告, 刀剑来把他们中间的一个人除灭; 那人虽然因自己的罪孽被除灭, 我却要因他的死追究守望的人. ’

33:7 “And you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; if you hear a word from my mouth, then you must warn them from me.
“人子啊! 我立了你作以色列家守望的人, 所以你要聆听我口中的话, 替我警告他们.

33:8 When I say to the wicked, ‘Wicked one, you will certainly die,’ and you did not speak to warn the wicked from his way, he, the wicked, will die by his guilt, but his blood I will seek from your hand.
如果我对恶人说: ‘恶人啊, 你必定死亡! ’你以西结却不出声警告恶人离开他所行的, 这恶人就必因自己的罪孽死亡, 我却要因他的死追究你.

33:9 But, you, if you warn the wicked from his way, to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he will die by his guilt, and you will have saved your life.
如果你警告恶人, 叫他离开他所行的, 他仍不转离, 他就必因自己的罪孽死亡, 你却救了自己的性命.

33:10 “And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, saying, ‘So you said, saying, “Indeed, our transgressions and our sins are on us, and because of them we are rotting, and how can we live?” ’
“人子啊! 你要对以色列家说: ‘你们这样说: 我们的过犯和罪恶常在我们身上; 我们必因此衰弱而死, 怎能存活呢? ’

33:11 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘Surely I have no delight in the death of the wicked, except in the wicked returning from his way, and he lives. Turn back! Turn back from your ways, O evil ones, for why should you die, house of Israel?’
你要对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样宣告: 我指着我的永生起誓, 我绝不喜悦恶人死亡, 却喜悦恶人离开他所行的, 得以存活. 以色列家啊, 回转吧! 离开你们所行的, 何必死亡呢? ’

33:12 “So you, son of man, say to your people that the righteousness of the righteous shall not save him in the day of his transgression, and the wickedness of the wicked will not cause him to stumble on the day of his returning from his wickedness; and the righteous will not be able to live by it on the day when he returns to his sin.
人子啊! 你要对你本国的人说: ‘义人的义在他犯罪的日子, 不能救他; 恶人的恶在他离开恶行的日子, 也不会绊倒他; 义人在他犯罪的日子, 也不能因他的义存活. ’

33:13 When I say to the righteous, ‘Certainly he will live,’ and he trusted in his righteousness, and he turns and he does injustice, all of his righteousness will not be remembered, and because of his injustice that he did, because of it he will die.
我虽然对义人说他必定生存, 但是他若恃着自己的义而行恶, 他的一切义都必不被记念; 他必因所行的恶死亡.

33:14 And when I say to the wicked, ‘Certainly you will die,’ but he returns from his sin and he does justice and righteousness—
我虽然对恶人说: ‘你必定死亡’, 但是他若离开他的罪, 行公平和正直的事,

33:15 for example, the wicked returns a pledge for a loan, he restores stolen property, he goes in the statutes of life so as not to do injustice—certainly he will live; he will not die.
把抵押归还, 把抢夺人的物件偿还, 遵行赐生命的律例, 不作恶事, 他就必存活, 不致死亡;

33:16 All of his sins that he committed, they will not be remembered against him, and he did justice and righteousness; certainly he will live.
他所犯的一切罪, 必不被记念; 他行了公平和正直的事, 就必存活.

33:17 “Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ yet their way is not fair.
“你本国的人还说: ‘主所行的不公平. ’其实他们所行的才是不公平.

33:18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, then he will die because of it.
义人若离开他的义, 去行恶事, 他就必因此死亡;

33:19 And when the wicked turns from his wickedness, and he does justice and righteousness, because of it he will certainly live!
恶人若离开他的恶, 去行公平和正直的事, 他就必因此存活.

33:20 Yet you said, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ I will judge you, house of Israel, each person according to his ways.”
你们还说: ‘主所行的不公平. ’以色列家啊! 我必照着你们各人所行的审判你们. ”

33:21 And then it was in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month of our exile, a survivor from Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city was destroyed!”
在我们被掳以后的第十二年十月初五日, 有人从耶路撒冷逃到我这里来, 说: “城已经被攻陷了. ”

33:22 And the hand of Yahweh was on me on the evening before the coming of the survivor, and he opened my mouth before the survivor came to me in the morning, and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer dumb.
那人来到的前一天晚上, 耶和华的手按在我身上, 开了我的口. 到了早晨, 那人来到我这里, 我的口已经开了, 不再作哑巴.

33:23 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

33:24 “Son of man, the inhabitants of these ruins on the soil of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was one man, and he took possession of the land, and we are many; the land has been given for us as a possession.’
“人子啊! 那些住在以色列地废墟里的人常说: ‘亚伯拉罕一个人就得了这地为业; 我们人数众多, 这地更应该给我们为业. ’

33:25 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You eat blood in your meat, and you raise your eyes to your idols and you pour out blood, and yet you want to take possession of the land?
因此, 你要对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 你们吃带血的祭肉, 举目仰望你们的偶像, 并且流人的血, 你们还可以得这地为业吗?

33:26 You rely on your sword, you do a detestable thing, and each man defiles the wife of his neighbor, and yet you want to take possession of the land?” ’
你们倚仗自己的刀剑, 行可憎恶的事, 人人玷污邻舍的妻子, 你们还可以得这地为业吗? ’

33:27 “Thus you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “As I live, surely whoever is in the ruins, by the sword they will fall, and whoever is on the surface of the open field, I will give him to the animals to eat him, and whoever is in the stronghold and in the cave, they will die by the plague.
你要对他们这样说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 那些在废墟里的, 必倒在刀下; 在田间的, 我必交给野兽吞吃; 在堡垒和山洞里的, 必因瘟疫而死.

33:28 And I will make the land a desolation and a wasteland, and the pride of its strength will come to an end, and the mountains of Israel will be desolate with no one traveling through them.” ’
我必使这地非常荒凉, 它因势力而有的骄傲必止息; 以色列的山都必荒凉, 无人经过.

33:29 And they will know that I am Yahweh when I make my land a desolation and a wasteland, because of all of their detestable things that they have done.
我必因他们所行一切可憎恶的事, 使这地非常荒凉, 那时他们就知道我是耶和华. ’

33:30 “And you, son of man, your people, the ones talking together concerning you beside the walls and in the doorways of the houses, each one with his brother saying, ‘Please come and hear what is the word that is going out from Yahweh.’
“人子啊! 你本国的人在城墙旁边和各家的门口正在谈论你; 他们彼此说: ‘来吧! 听听有什么话从耶和华那里出来. ’

33:31 And they come to you as people do, and they sit before you, and my people hear your words, and they do not do them, for they are showing passion in their mouth, but their heart is going after ill-gotten gain.
他们成群来到你那里, 坐在你面前, 像是我的子民一样. 其实他们听了你的话, 却不去行; 他们只是用口表示爱慕, 他们的心却是追随不义之财.

33:32 Now, look! You are to them like a sensual song, beautiful of voice and played well on an instrument, and they hear your words, but they are not doing them.
在他们眼中, 你不过是首情歌, 唱得美妙, 弹得悦耳, 他们听了你的话, 却不去行.

33:33 So when it comes, look! It is coming! And then they will know that a prophet was in the midst of them.”
看哪! 这事必定应验, 到那时候, 他们就知道在他们中间有先知了. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 34

34:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you must say to them, to the shepherds, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who were feeding themselves! Must not the shepherds feed the flock?
“人子啊! 你要说预言攻击以色列众牧者; 你要对他们说预言: ‘主耶和华这样说: 以色列众牧者有祸了! 他们只顾牧养自己. 牧者岂不应当牧养羊群吗?

34:3 The fat you eat, and you clothe yourself with the wool; the well-nourished animals you slaughter, but you do not feed the flock.
你们吃脂油,穿羊毛, 宰肥壮的羊, 却不牧养羊群.

34:4 The weak you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not healed, and with respect to the hurt you have not bound them up, and you have not brought back the scattered, and you have not sought the lost, but rather you ruled over them with force and with ruthlessness.
瘦弱的, 你们没有养壮; 患病的, 你们没有医治; 受伤的, 你们没有包扎; 被赶散的, 你们没有领回; 迷失的, 你们没有寻找; 你们反而用强暴严严地管辖它们.

34:5 And they were scattered without a shepherd, and they were as food for all the animals of the field when they were scattered.
它们没有牧人, 就分散了, 作了田野一切走兽的食物.

34:6 My flock went astray upon all of the mountains and on every high hill, and so upon all the surface of the world my flock were scattered, and there was no one seeking them, and there was no one searching for them.”
我的羊在众山和各高冈上流离; 它们分散在全地上, 没有人去寻, 也没有人去找.

34:7 Therefore, hear, O shepherds, the word of Yahweh:
“‘因此, 你们这些作牧者的, 要听耶和华的话:

34:8 “As I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “Surely because my flock have become as plunder, and my flock became as food to all the animals of the field, since there was not a shepherd, since my shepherds have not sought my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and they fed not my flock,’ ”
我指着我的永生起誓, 我的羊因没有牧人, 就成了猎物, 作了田野一切走兽的食物. 我的众牧者不寻找我的羊; 他们只顾牧养自己, 却不牧养我的羊. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

34:9 therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh,
因此, 你们这些作牧者的, 要听耶和华的话.

34:10 ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against the shepherds, and I will seek my flock from their hand, and I will put an end to them from shepherding flocks, and the shepherds will no longer feed themselves, and I will deliver my flocks from their mouth, so that they will not be as food for them.”
主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要与众牧者为敌; 我必向他们追讨我的羊, 使他们不再牧养羊群, 也不再牧养自己. 我必救我的羊脱离他们的口, 不再作他们的食物.

34:11 “ ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I, even I, will seek my flock, and I will look after them,
“‘因为主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我必亲自寻觅我的羊, 把它们找出来.

34:12 just like the caring of a shepherd for his herd on the day when he is in the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will look after my flock, and I will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on the day of storm and stress.
牧人在他的羊群四散的时候, 怎样寻找他的羊, 我也必照样寻找我的羊. 这些羊在密云幽暗的日子四散到各处, 我要把它们从那里救回来.

34:13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and I will gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their soil, and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all of the settlements of the land.
我必把它们从万族中领出来, 从列邦中聚集它们, 领它们归回故土. 我必在以色列的群山上, 在众溪水旁, 在国内一切居住的地方, 牧养它们.

34:14 I will feed them in good pasture, and their pasture will be on the mountains of the heights of Israel; there they will lie down in good pasture, and on lush pasture they will feed on the mountains of Israel.
我必在美好的草场上牧养它们, 以色列的高山必作牧放它们的地方. 在那里它们必躺卧在美好的牧场上, 它们必在以色列群山肥美的草场上吃草.

34:15 I myself will feed my flock and I myself will allow them to lie down,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必亲自牧养我的羊, 亲自使它们躺卧. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

34:16 “I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the scattered, and I will bind up the one hurt, and I will strengthen the sick; and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed her with justice.”
迷失的, 我必寻找; 被赶散的, 我必领回; 受伤的, 我必包扎; 患病的, 我必养壮; 肥壮的, 我却要除灭. 我也必按着公正牧养它们.

34:17 “ ‘And you, my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am judging between one sheep and another, between the rams and between the he-goats.
“‘我的羊啊! 论到你们, 主耶和华这样说: 我要在羊与羊之间, 在公绵羊与公山羊之间, 施行审判.

34:18 Is it not enough for you that you feed on the good pasture? And still you must trample the remainder of your pasture with your feet, and clear water you drink, and the leftover water you must make muddy with your feet.
你们在美好的草场上吃草, 还不知足吗? 剩下的草, 你们竟用脚践踏; 你们喝了清水, 剩下的你们竟用脚搅浊.

34:19 And my flock must graze the pasture treaded upon by your feet, and must drink the mud puddle stirred up by your feet.”
我的羊, 就只能吃你们用脚践踏过的, 喝你们用脚搅浊了的.

34:20 “ ‘Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: “Look! I, even I will judge between fat sheep and between lean sheep,
“‘因此, 主耶和华对它们这样说: 看哪! 我必亲自在肥羊与瘦羊之间施行审判.

34:21 because with your flank and with your shoulder you shoved, and with your horns you pushed all of the sick animals until you scattered it to the outside.
因为你们用腰用肩拥挤所有瘦弱的, 又用角抵触它们, 直到把它们驱散到外面,

34:22 And so I will save my flock, and they will no longer be for plunder, and I will judge between one sheep and another.
所以我必拯救我的羊, 使它们不再作猎物. 我要在羊与羊之间施行审判.

34:23 And I will set up over them one shepherd, and he will feed them; that is, my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be for them as a shepherd.
“‘我必立一个牧人, 就是我的仆人大卫, 看管它们, 牧养它们. 他必牧养它们, 作它们的牧人.

34:24 And I, Yahweh, I will be for them as God, and my servant David will be a leader in the midst of them. I, Yahweh, I have spoken.
我耶和华必作它们的神, 我的仆人大卫要在它们中间作领袖. 我耶和华已经说了.

34:25 And I will make them a covenant of peace, and I will put an end to wild animals from the land, and they will dwell in the desert safely, and they will sleep in the forest.
“‘我必与它们立平安的约, 使恶兽从境内灭绝, 它们就可以在旷野安居, 在树林中躺卧.

34:26 And I will make them and the area all around my hill a blessing, and I will let the rain go down at its appointed time; they will be rains of blessing.
我必使他们和我的山四围都蒙福; 我必按时降雨, 这就是赐福的雨.

34:27 And the tree of the field will give its fruit, and the land will give its produce, and they will be on their land safely, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I break their yoke, and I will deliver them from the hand of the ones enslaving them.
田野的树木必结果子, 地也必有出产; 他们必在自己的土地上安居. 我打断他们所负的轭, 救他们脱离奴役者的手的时候, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

34:28 And they will not be any longer plunder to the nations, and the animals of the land will not eat them, and they will dwell in safety, and there will not be anyone frightening them.
他们必不再作列国的猎物, 地上的野兽也不再吞吃他们; 他们必安然居住, 没有人惊吓他们.

34:29 And I will raise for them a garden plot of renown, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land, and they will not bear any more the insult of the nations.
我必给他们兴起一个以种植闻名的地方, 使他们在境内不再被饥荒消灭, 也不再担当列国的羞辱.

34:30 And they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them and they are my people, the house of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh,
那时, 他们就知道我耶和华他们的神与他们同在, 并且知道他们以色列家是我的子民. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

34:31 “and you are my flock, the flock of my pasture. You are my people; I am your God,” declares the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
你们是我的羊, 是我草场上的羊; 我是你们的神. 这是耶和华的宣告. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 35

35:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

35:2 “Son of man, set your face against the mountain of Seir and prophesy against it,
“人子啊! 你要面向西珥山, 说预言攻击它,

35:3 and you must say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, mountain of Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a wasteland.
对它说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 西珥山啊! 我要与你为敌, 伸手攻击你, 使你非常荒凉.

35:4 Your cities I will make ruins, and you will be a desolation, and then you will know that I am Yahweh,
我要使你的城市变为废墟, 你必然荒凉, 那时, 你就知道我是耶和华.

35:5 because there has been to you an ancient hostility, and you handed over the Israelites to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of their final punishment.
因为你永远怀恨, 在以色列人遭遇灾难, 刑罚到了顶点的时候, 你把他们交在刀剑之下,

35:6 Therefore as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “Certainly to blood guilt I will prepare you and blood will pursue; since you did not hate blood, it will pursue you.
所以我指着我的永生起誓, 我必使你遭受流血的报应, 这血必追赶你; 你既不恨恶流人的血, 这血必追赶你. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

35:7 And I will make the mountain of Seir into a desolation and ruin, and I will cut off from it both he who is crossing over and he who is returning.
我必使西珥山非常荒凉, 我必从那里剪除来往的人.

35:8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain; your hills and your valleys and all of your watercourses, the slain by the sword will fall in them.
我必使西珥的众山布满了被杀的人; 被刀剑所杀的人必倒在你的小山,山谷和所有的溪涧中.

35:9 An everlasting desolation I will make you, and your cities will not return, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必使你永远荒凉, 你的城市必没有人居住; 你们就知道我是耶和华.

35:10 I do this because of your saying, ‘The two nations and the two lands, they will be mine, and we will take possession of it,’ and yet Yahweh was there.
“‘因为你曾说: 这两国这两邦都必归我, 我必得它们为业, 但其实耶和华还是在那里.

35:11 Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “so I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your jealousy that you did, because of your hatred against them, and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
所以我指着我的永生起誓: 我必照着你因仇恨而向他们所发的忿怒和嫉妒对待你. 我审判你的时候, 必把自己显明在他们中间. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

35:12 And you will know that I, Yahweh, I have heard all of your contemptible words that you said against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They will be desolate; they are given to us as food.’
这样, 你就必知道我耶和华听见了你的一切毁谤, 就是你攻击以色列众山的话, 说: “这些山都已经荒凉了! 已经给我们吞吃了! ”

35:13 And you magnified yourself against me with your insolent speech, and you spoke voluminously against me with your words—I heard!
你们用口说夸大的话攻击我, 说出许多话来与我作对, 我都听见了.

35:14 Thus the Lord Yahweh says, ‘As the whole world rejoices, I will make you a desolation.
主耶和华这样说: 全地都欢乐的时候, 我却要使你荒凉.

35:15 Like your rejoicing over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, I will do to you; you will be a desolation, mountain of Seir and all of Edom, indeed all of it; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ” ’
你怎样因以色列家的产业荒凉而欢乐, 我也必照样待你. 西珥山啊! 你和以东全地都必荒凉. 他们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 36

36:1 “And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel; and so you must say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Yahweh;
“人子啊! 你要向以色列的众山说预言: ‘以色列的众山啊! 你们要听耶和华的话.

36:2 thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because the enemy said concerning you, ‘Ah, and the ancient high places will be to us as a possession!’ ” ’
主耶和华这样说: 因为仇敌攻击你们说: 哈哈! 那悠久的山冈都归给我们为业了.

36:3 Therefore prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because indeed when you were desolate, then they crushed you from all around, so that you became a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword and object of slander for the people.”
所以你要说预言: 主耶和华这样说: 因为敌人使你们荒凉, 四围践踏你们, 好使你们归给列国中余剩的人为业, 成为人们提说和嘲笑的对象,

36:4 Therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh; thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the river channels and to the valleys and to the ruins that are desolate and to the cities that are abandoned and that have become as plunder and as scorn for the remainder of the nations that are from all around.
因此, 以色列的众山啊! 你们要听主耶和华的话; 主耶和华对大山,小冈,溪涧,山谷,荒凉的废墟, 被弃的城, 就是曾被四围列国中余剩的人所劫掠,所讥笑的, 这样说:

36:5 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Certainly in the fire of my passion I spoke against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who made my land as a possession, because of its pastureland for plunder, for themselves in all of the joy of their whole heart and in their inner disdain.”
主耶和华这样说: 我在妒火中说话攻击列国中余剩的人和以东众人, 因为他们全心欢喜, 满怀恨恶, 把我的地归给自己为业, 好占有它为掠物.

36:6 Therefore prophesy against the land of Israel, and you must say to the mountains and to the hills, to the river channels and to the valleys, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I spoke in my passion and in my anger the insult of the peoples you have endured.”
因此, 你要向以色列地说预言, 对大山,小冈,溪涧和山谷说: 主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我在嫉妒和烈怒中说话, 因为你们担当了列国的羞辱.

36:7 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I swear certainly that the nations that are all around you, they indeed will endure their disgrace.
所以主耶和华这样说: 我举手起誓说: 你们四围的列国必亲自担当自己的羞辱.

36:8 “ ‘ “But you, mountains of Israel, your branch you will shoot, and your fruit you will carry for my people Israel, for they are soon to come.
“‘以色列的众山啊! 你们必长出枝条, 为我的子民以色列结出果子, 因为他们快要回来了.

36:9 For look! I am for you, and I will turn you, and you will be tilled, and you will be planted.
看哪! 我是帮助你们的, 我必转向你们, 使人可以在你们上面耕种和撒种.

36:10 And I will cause your population to increase for you, all of the house of Israel, all of it, and the towns will be inhabited, and the ruins will be built.
我要使以色列全家的人数在你们上面增多; 城市有人居住, 废墟可以重建.

36:11 And I will cause your population to increase for you, and domestic animals, even they will be numerous, and they will be fruitful, and I will cause you to be inhabited like your ancient times, and I will do good things more than in your former times, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必使人和牲畜都在你们上面增多; 他们必繁殖增多; 我必使你们有人居住, 像从前一样, 并要使你们比先前更蒙福. 你们就知道我是耶和华.

36:12 And I will send over you my people Israel, and they will take possession of you, and you will be for them as an inheritance, and you will no longer bereave them of their children.”
我必使人, 就是我的子民以色列, 在你上面行走; 他们必得你为业; 你必作他们的产业, 也不再使他们丧失子女.

36:13 “ ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh, because they are saying to you, “You are an eater of humans, and you are one who makes childless your people.”
主耶和华这样说: 因为人对你说: 你是吞吃人的, 又是使你的国民丧失子女的.

36:14 Therefore humans you will not eat any longer, and your nation you will not make childless any longer,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
所以你必不再吞吃人, 也必不再使你的国民丧失子女. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

36:15 “And I will not let you hear any longer the insult of the nations, and the disgrace of the peoples you will not bear any longer; you yourself will not cause your nation to stumble,” declares the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
我必使你不再听见列国的羞辱, 你必不再受万族的辱骂, 也不再使你的国民跌倒. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

36:16 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

36:17 “Son of man, the house of Israel, they were dwelling on their soil, and they defiled it with their way and with their deeds; like the uncleanness of menstruation was their way before me.
“人子啊! 以色列家住在他们本土的时候, 他们的所作所为玷污了那地. 他们所行的在我面前, 就像在经期中的妇人那样污秽.

36:18 And I poured out my rage on them for the blood that they poured on the land and for their idols with which they defiled it.
所以我因他们在那地上流人的血, 又因他们以自己可憎的像玷污那地, 就把我的烈怒倒在他们身上.

36:19 And I scattered them among the nations, and I dispersed them in the countries according to their way, and according to their deeds I judged them.
我使他们分散在列邦, 四散在各地; 我按着他们的所作所为审判他们.

36:20 And they came into the nations to which they went, and they profaned my holy name when they said to them, ‘These are the people of Yahweh, and from his land they went out.’
他们到了所去的列邦那里, 我的圣名就被亵渎, 因为人总是谈论他们说: ‘这些是耶和华的子民, 他们却要从耶和华的地出来. ’

36:21 And I was concerned for my holy name, which, the house of Israel defiled among the nations to which they went.
我却顾惜我的圣名, 就是以色列家在他们所去的列邦那里所亵渎的.

36:22 “Therefore thus say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Not for your sake am I about to act, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you defiled among the nations to which you went.
“因此, 你要对以色列家说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 以色列家啊! 我作这事, 不是为了你们, 而是为了我自己的圣名, 就是在你们所去的列邦那里所亵渎的,

36:23 And I will consecrate my great name, which was profaned among the nations and which you have profaned in the midst of them, and the nations will know that I am Yahweh!” ’ a declaration of the Lord Yahweh, when I show myself holy before their eyes.
我要使我的大名显为圣, 这名在列邦中已经被亵渎了, 是你们在他们中间所亵渎的. 我在你们身上向他们显为圣的时候, 他们就知道我是耶和华. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

36:24 “ ‘And I will take you from the nations, and I will gather you from all of the lands, and I will bring you to your land.
我必从列国中领你们出来, 从万邦中聚集你们, 把你们带回故土.

36:25 And I will sprinkle on you pure water, and you will be clean from all of your uncleanness, and I will cleanse you from all of your idols.
我必用洁净的水洒在你们身上, 你们就洁净了; 我必洁净你们的一切污秽, 使你们远离所有可憎的像.

36:26 And I will give a new heart to you, and a new spirit I will give into your inner parts, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.
“‘我必把新心赐给你们, 把新灵放在你们里面; 我必从你们的肉体中除去石心, 把肉心赐给你们.

36:27 And I will give my spirit into your inner parts, and I will make it so that you will go in my rules, and my regulations you will remember, and you will do them.
我必把我的灵放在你们里面, 使你们遵行我的律例, 谨守遵行我的典章.

36:28 And you will dwell in the land that I gave to your ancestors, and you will be to me as a people, and I will be to you as God.
你们要住在我赐给你们列祖的地; 你们要作我的子民, 我要作你们的神.

36:29 And I will save you from all of your uncleanness, and I will call to the grain, and I will cause it to increase, and I will not bring famine upon you.
我必拯救你们脱离你们的一切污秽; 我必叫五谷丰收, 不使你们遇见饥荒.

36:30 And I will cause the fruit of the tree and the crop of the field to increase, so that you will not suffer again the disgrace of famine among the nations.
我必使树木的果子和田地的出产增多, 好使你们在列国中不再因饥荒而遭受耻辱.

36:31 And you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourself over your iniquities and over your detestable things.
那时, 你们必想起你们的恶行和不好的作为, 就必因你们的罪孽和可憎恶的事厌恶自己.

36:32 But not for your sake am I acting,” declares the Lord Yahweh. “Let it be known to you, be ashamed, and be put to shame because of your ways, house of Israel.
你们要知道我这样行, 不是为了你们的缘故; 以色列家啊! 你们要因自己的行为抱愧蒙羞. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

36:33 “Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘On the day when I cleanse you from all of your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
“‘主耶和华这样说: 我洁净你们, 使你们脱离一切罪孽的日子, 我必使城市有人居住, 废墟可以重建.

36:34 And the land that was desolate will be cultivated in the very place that it was desolate before the eyes of all of the persons crossing over.
从前所有路过的人都看为荒凉之地, 现在却必再可以耕种.

36:35 And they will say, “This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden, and the wasted and desolate and destroyed cities, now being refortified, are inhabited.”
他们必说: “先前这荒凉之地, 现在竟像伊甸园一样; 这些废弃,荒凉,毁坏了的城市, 现在却成了坚固城, 有人居住了. ”

36:36 And the nations who are left all around, you will know that I, Yahweh, I built that which was destroyed; I planted the desolate land; I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will act.’
那时, 在你们四围所余剩的列国, 就必知道我是耶和华, 是我重建了那些毁坏的地方, 栽植了那些荒凉之地. 我耶和华说了, 就必实行.

36:37 “Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Again this time I will let myself be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do something for them; I will cause them to increase their population like a flock.
“‘主耶和华这样说: 我还要让以色列家求我为他们增加人数, 多如羊群.

36:38 Like the flock of the sanctuary, like the flock of Jerusalem at its festival, so the desolate cities will be filled with flocks of people; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
守节的时候, 在耶路撒冷作祭牲的羊群是怎样多, 那些荒废了的城市也必照样满了人群. 他们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 37

37:1 The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and he brought me by the Spirit of Yahweh, and he let me rest in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones.
耶和华的手按在我身上; 耶和华借着他的灵领我出去, 把我放在平原上, 这平原布满了骸骨.

37:2 And he led me all around over them, and look, very many on the surface of the valley, and look, very dry.
他带我在骸骨的四围经过; 我看见平原上面有很多骸骨, 都非常枯干.

37:3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I said, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”
他问我: “人子啊! 这些骸骨能活过来吗? ”我回答: “主耶和华啊! 唯有你才知道. ”

37:4 And he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and you must say to them, to the dry bones, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh!
他又对我说: “你要向这些骸骨说预言, 对它们说: ‘枯干的骸骨啊! 你们要听耶和华的话.

于是我遵命说预言; 我正在说预言的时候, 就听见有响声, 骨头与骨头互相结合起来, 格格作响.

37:8 And I looked, and indeed, sinews were on them, and flesh went up, and skin covered over them upward, but breath was not in them.
我观看, 见骸骨生了筋, 长了肉, 又有皮包在上面, 只是它们里面还没有气息.

37:9 And he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and you must say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh from the four winds, “Come, O spirit and breath, on these dead ones, so that they may live!” ’ ”
他对我说: “你要向气息说预言. 人子啊! 你要说预言. 你要向气息说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 气息啊! 你要从四方(“四方”原文作“四风”)而来, 吹在这些被杀的人身上, 使它们活过来. ’”

37:10 And I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they became alive, and they stood on their feet, a very, very large group.
于是我遵命说预言, 气息就进入骸骨里面, 骸骨就活过来, 并且站起, 成了一支极大的军队.

37:11 And he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all of the house of Israel; look! they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is destroyed; we are cut off as far as we are concerned.’
他对我说: “人子啊! 这些骸骨就是以色列全家; 他们常说: ‘我们的骸骨枯干了, 我们的盼望消失了; 我们都灭亡了. ’

37:12 Therefore prophesy, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am opening your graves, and I will bring you up from your graves, my people, and I will bring you to the land of Israel!
因此, 你要说预言, 对他们说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 我的子民哪! 我要打开你们的坟墓, 把你们从坟墓中领上来, 带你们回以色列地去.

我的子民哪! 我打开你们的坟墓, 把你们从坟墓中领上来的时候, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

37:14 And I will put my breath into you so that you may live, and I will cause you to rest on your soil, and you will know that I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will act!” ’ declares Yahweh.”
我要把我的灵放在你们里面, 你们就活过来; 我要把你们安顿在你们的土地上, 你们就知道我耶和华说了, 就必实行. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’”

37:15 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

37:16 “And you, son of man, take for yourself a piece of wood, and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the Israelites his associates,’ and take another piece of wood, and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the piece of wood of Ephraim and all of the house of Israel his associates.’
“人子啊! 你要拿一根木杖, 在上面写‘犹大和那些与他一起的以色列人’; 又拿另一根木杖, 在上面写‘以法莲的木杖, 就是约瑟和与他一起的以色列全家’.

37:17 And join them one to the other with respect to you as one piece of wood, so that they may become one in your hand.

37:19 Then speak to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am taking the piece of wood for Joseph that is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel its associates, and I will put them on it, the piece of wood of Judah, and I will make them into one piece of wood, so that they be one in my hand.’ ”
你就要回答他们: ‘主耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我要拿约瑟和与他一起的以色列众支派的木杖, 就是在以法莲手里的, 跟犹大的木杖连接在一起, 使它们在我手里成为一根. ’

37:20 And the pieces of wood on which you wrote will be in your hand before their eyes.
你写上了字的那两根木杖, 要在他们眼前握在手里;

我要使他们在那地上, 在以色列的众山上, 成为一国; 必有一王统治他们众人; 他们不再是两个国, 不再分为两个邦.

37:23 And they will not defile themselves again with their idols and with vile idols and with all of their transgressions, and I will save them from all of their apostasy by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them and they will be for me as a people and I, I will be for them as God.
他们必不再因自己的偶像和可憎的像, 以及一切过犯, 而玷污自己; 我必拯救他们脱离一切背道的罪(“背道的罪”有古卷作“他们在其中犯罪的住处”); 我必洁净他们, 他们就必作我的子民, 我必作他们的神.

37:24 “ ‘ “And my servant David will be king over them, and one shepherd will be for all of them, and in my regulations they will go, and my statutes they will observe, and they will do them.
“‘我的仆人大卫必作他们的王; 他们众人只有一个牧者. 他们必遵行我的典章, 谨守实行我的律例.

37:25 And they will dwell on the land that I gave to my servant, to Jacob, in which your ancestors dwelled, and they will dwell on it, they and their children and the children of their children forever, and my servant David will be a leader for them forever.
他们必住在我所赐给我仆人雅各的地上, 就是你们列祖所住的地. 他们和他们的子孙, 以及子孙的子孙, 都必永远住在那里; 我的仆人大卫必永远作他们的领袖.

39:9 “ʻ“And the inhabitants of the towns of Israel will go out, and they will set ablaze, and they will kindle a fire with a weapon and a small shield and a shield, with a bow and with arrows, and with hand clubs and with spears, and so they will light a fire with them, a fire lasting seven years.
“‘那时, 以色列各城的居民必出来, 把武器当柴焚烧, 就是大小的盾牌,弓,箭,枪和矛, 都当柴焚烧, 足有七年的时间.

39:10 And they will not carry trees from the field, and they will not chop wood from the forests, for with the weapons they will light a fire; and they will plunder those plundering them, and they will plunder those plundering them,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
他们不必从田野捡柴, 也不必从树林里伐木, 因为他们必把武器当柴烧; 他们必抢劫那些曾抢劫他们的人, 掠夺那些掠夺他们的人. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

39:11 “ ‘ “And then on that day I will give to Gog a grave there in Israel, The Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea, and it will block the travelers and Gog and all of his hordes they will bury there, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-Gog.
“‘到那日, 我必在以色列给歌革一块坟地, 就是那些朝东往死海去的人所经过的谷. 这坟地使过路之人无法通过, 因为那里埋葬了歌革和他的众军. 因此, 那地必称为哈们．歌革谷.

39:12 And the house of Israel will bury them for seven months to cleanse the land.
以色列家要用七个月的时间去埋葬他们, 为要洁净那地.

39:13 All of the people of the land will bury them, and it will be an honor for them on the day when I appear,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
那地所有的人民都必埋葬他们. 这是我得荣耀的日子, 以色列人也必因此得享美名. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

39:14 ʻ“And they will set apart men to continually go through the land burying the travelers, the ones left over on the surface of the land to cleanse it; for the whole of seven months they will explore it.
他们必分派人经常遍行那地, 与过路的人一起埋葬那些还留在地面上的尸体, 为要洁净那地; 过了七个月, 他们还要继续搜索.

39:15 And the ones going through, they will go through within the land, and if anyone sees the bones of a person, then he will build beside it a sign to remain until the buriers have buried him in the Valley of Hamon-Gog.
他们遍行那地, 见有人的骸骨, 就在旁边立个标记, 等埋葬的人来把骸骨葬在哈们．歌革谷.

39:16 And furthermore the name of the city there is Hamonah, and thus they will cleanse the land.” ’
那里也有一座城名叫哈摩那. 他们必这样洁净那地. ’

39:17 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Say to all kinds of birds and animals of the field, “Be gathered, come be gathered from everywhere to my sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and you will eat flesh, and you will drink blood.
“人子啊! 主耶和华这样说: 你要对各类的飞鸟和田野的走兽说: ‘你们集合起来, 从四围聚集来吃我为你们所预备的祭肉. 以色列众山上要献大祭, 好叫你们吃肉喝血.

39:18 Flesh of warriors you will eat, and the blood of leaders of the land you will drink; rams, young rams and goats, bulls, and the fattened animals of Bashan—all of them!
你们要吃勇士的肉, 喝那地众领袖的血, 就如吃公绵羊,羊羔,公山羊和公牛, 全部都是巴珊的肥畜.

39:19 And you will eat fat until you are satiated, and you will drink blood until you are drunk from my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you,
你们吃我为你们所预备的祭, 必吃饱脂油, 喝醉了血.

39:20 and you will be satisfied at my table with horse and horsemen and warriors and every man of war,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
你们必在我的筵席上吃饱马匹,骑兵,勇士和所有的战士. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ’

39:21 “And I will display my glory among the nations, and all of the nations will see my judgment that I have executed and my hand that I have laid upon them.
“我必在列国中彰显我的荣耀, 万邦必看见我施行的审判, 和我加在他们身上的手.

39:22 “And the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God from that day and beyond,
这样, 从那日起, 以色列家就必知道我是耶和华他们的神.

39:23 and the nations will know that because of their guilt the house of Israel went into exile, because they acted unfaithfully against me, and I hid my face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their foes, and they fell by the sword, all of them.
列国也必知道以色列家是因自己的罪孽被掳去. 他们对我不忠, 所以我掩面不顾他们, 把他们交在敌人手中, 他们就都倒在刀下.

39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgression I dealt with them, and I hid my face from them.
我是照着他们的污秽和过犯对待他们, 并且掩面不顾他们.

39:25 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have compassion on all of the house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name.
“因此, 主耶和华这样说: 现在我要使雅各被掳的归回; 我要怜悯以色列全家, 又为我的圣名大发热心.

39:26 And they will forget their disgrace and all of their infidelity that they displayed against me when they dwelt on their soil in safety with nobody making them afraid.
他们在自己的土地上安然居住,无人惊吓的时候, 就要担当自己的羞辱和向我所犯一切不忠的罪;

39:27 When I restore them from the nations and I gather them from the countries of their enemies, then I will show myself holy through them before the eyes of many nations.
我把他们从万族中领回来, 从仇敌之地召回来的时候, 我必在他们身上向列国显为圣.

39:28 And they will know that I am Yahweh their God, because of when I deported them into the nations, and I reassembled them to their soil, and I will not let any of them remain there any longer.
我使他们被掳到列国去, 后来又聚集他们到自己的土地, 连一个也不再留在列国那里. 这样, 他们就知道我是耶和华他们的神.

39:29 And I will not hide my face again from them when I pour out my Spirit over the house of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我也不再掩面不顾他们, 因为我已经把我的灵浇灌在以色列家. 这是主耶和华的宣告. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 40

40:1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed, in this day exactly, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there
我们被掳后第二十五年, 耶路撒冷城被攻陷后第十四年的年初; 那月的初十日, 耶和华的手按在我身上; 他把我带到那里去.

40:2 in visions from God. He brought me to the land of Israel and put me on a very high mountain, and on it was something like a structure of a city to the south.
在神的异象中, 他带我到以色列地, 把我安置在一座很高的山上; 在山上的南面, 有好像是一座城的建筑物.

40:3 And he brought me there, and look, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, and a cord of linen was in his hand and a reed for measurement; he was standing in the gate.
他把我带到那里, 我见有一个人, 他看来像铜, 手里拿着麻绳和测量竿, 站在门口.

40:4 And the man spoke to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and listen with your ears and apply your heart to all that I am showing you, for you were brought here in order to show you this; tell all that you are seeing to the house of Israel.”
那人对我说: “人子啊! 我所要指示你的, 你都要用眼看, 用耳听, 并要放在心上, 因为我带你到这里来, 为的是要指示你; 你所看见的, 你都要告诉以色列家. ”

在内殿门口上面的外墙, 以及内殿和外殿周围的墙上, 按着尺寸,

41:18 and it was made of cherubim and palm tree images; a palm tree image between cherub and cherub, and the cherub had two faces.
都刻上基路伯和棕树. 基路伯和棕树相间并排, 每个基路伯都有两个脸孔.

41:19 And the face of a human was toward the palm tree image on the one side, and the face of a fierce strong lion faced the palm tree image on the other side; this work was executed for the entire temple all the way around.
这边有人的脸向着棕树, 那边有狮子的脸向着棕树. 全殿周围的雕刻都是这样.

41:20 From the ground up to above the doorway, the cherubim and the palm tree images were made, and also the outer wall of the temple.

42:4 And in front of the chambers was a passageway ten cubits in width toward the inside, a walkway of one cubit, and their doorways were to the north.
房子前面有一条夹道, 宽五公尺, 长五十公尺. 房子的门都朝向北面.

42:5 And the upper chambers narrowed, for the galleries took away space from them more than they took from the lower levels and more than they took from the middle level in the building.
上层的房子最窄, 因为上层的走廊所占的地方, 比下层和中层的为多.

42:6 For they were three stories and they had no pillars like the pillars of the courtyards; therefore they were smaller than the lower stories and than the middle stories from the ground up.
第三层房子没有柱子, 不像外院的房子有柱子. 因此, 上层比下层和中层较窄.

42:7 And there was a wall that was to the outside alongside the chambers on the walkway to the outer courtyard in front of the chambers; its length was fifty cubits.
在外面有一道墙, 在房子的前面, 与房子和外院平行, 长二十五公尺.

42:8 For the length of the chambers which were to the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and look! The chambers on the front of the temple were a hundred cubits.
朝着外院的房子, 长二十五公尺; 朝着圣殿的房子, 长五十公尺.

42:9 And from under these chambers was the entrance from the east for them when one enters from the outer courtyard.
下层的房子在东面有一个入口, 人从外院进入房子里.

42:10 All along the width of the wall of the courtyard eastward in front of the courtyard to the front of the building were chambers.
在南面(这译法参古译本, “在南面”原文作“在东面”), 沿着内院的墙也有房子, 一排对着殿院的空地, 一排对着南面的建筑物.

42:11 And a walkway was before them like the appearance of the chambers which were on the north, just like them in their length, and so was their width and all their exits, and they were built like their arrangements and like their doorways,
这些房子前面有一条夹道, 跟北面的一样, 长宽相同. 出口之处, 也与北面的一样.

42:12 and like the doorways of the chambers which were on the way of the south was a doorway at the head of the way before the stone wall, projecting on the way of the east at their coming.
南边的房子的门, 也与北面的一样. 在东面夹道的开端, 与墙相对的地方, 有门可以进入.

42:13 And he said to me, “The chambers of the north and the chambers of the south which are before the courtyard, they are the holy chambers in which the priests, who are near to Yahweh, will eat the most holy objects. There they shall put the most holy objects, and the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering, for the place is holy.
他对我说: “在南北两面, 朝着殿院空地的房子, 都是圣洁的房子; 亲近耶和华的祭司们要在那里吃至圣之物, 也要在那里存放至圣之物, 就是素祭,赎罪祭和赎愆祭的祭物, 因为那地方是圣的.

42:14 When the priests enter, then they shall not go out from the sanctuary to the outer courtyard; and there they must put their garments in which they serve because they are holy. They must put on other garments and then they may approach the area that is for the people.
祭司进了去, 不可从圣所出来到外院去; 他们要在房子里放下供职时所穿的衣服, 因为那些衣服是圣的; 他们要穿上别的衣服, 才可以到民众的地方. ”

42:15 And he completed the measurements of the inner temple, and he brought me to the walkway of the gate that faces toward the east and he measured it all the way around.
他量了内院, 就领我出朝东的门, 又量了整个殿的周围.

42:16 He measured the east side with the reed for measuring, five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement, he measured it all around.
他用测量竿量了东面, 按着测量竿计算, 共长二百五十公尺.

42:17 He measured the north side as five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement all around.
他又量了北面, 按着测量竿计算, 共长二百五十公尺.

42:18 Then he measured the south side as five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement.
他又量了南面, 按着测量竿计算, 共长二百五十公尺.

42:19 He went around the west side and he measured five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement.
他又转去量了西面, 按着测量竿计算, 共长二百五十公尺.

42:20 Toward the four sides he measured it; there was a wall for it all the way around. Its length was five hundred cubits and its width was five hundred cubits, in order to make a separation between what is holy and what is common.
这样, 他量了四面. 圣殿长二百五十公尺, 宽二百五十公尺, 四围都有墙, 为要分开圣地和俗地.

Ezekiel - Chapter 43

43:1 And he brought me to the gate which was facing east.
以后, 他领我到朝东的门去.

43:2 And, look! The glory of the God of Israel, it came from the way of the east, and its sound was like the sound of many waters and the land radiated due to his glory!
看哪! 以色列神的荣耀从东面而来; 他的声音好像洪水的声音, 大地因他的荣耀而发光.

43:3 And the appearance of the vision which I saw was as the vision which I saw at his coming to destroy the city, and these visions were also as the vision which I saw by the Kebar River, and I fell on my face.
我所见的异象, 好像我在他来毁灭那城的时候所见的异象一样, 又像我在迦巴鲁河边所见的异象一般, 我就俯伏在地上.

43:4 And then the glory of Yahweh came to the temple by the way of the gate facing east.
耶和华的荣耀, 从朝东的门进入殿中.

43:5 And the Spirit lifted me and it brought me to the inner courtyard and, look! The glory of Yahweh filled the temple!
灵把我提起来, 领我进了内院. 我看见耶和华的荣耀充满了殿.

43:6 And I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and a man was standing beside me.
那人站在我旁边的时候, 我听见主从殿中对我说话.

43:7 And he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet where I will dwell in the midst of the Israelites to eternity, and they, the house of Israel, they and their kings, will not again defile my holy name with their fornication and with their offerings for the dead of their kings on their high places.
他对我说: “人子啊! 这是我宝座之地, 是我脚掌所踏之地; 我要住在那里, 在以色列人中间, 直到永远. 以色列家和他们的诸王, 都必不再以他们的淫乱和诸王在邱坛上的石碑玷污我的圣名.

43:8 When they placed their threshold with my threshold, their doorframe beside my doorframe and the wall was between me and between them, then they defiled my holy name, with their detestable things that they did, and so I consumed them in my anger.
他们的门槛靠近我的门槛, 他们的门框靠近我的门框, 我与他们只有一墙之隔的时候; 他们以自己所行的可憎之事玷污了我的圣名, 所以我在怒气中灭绝他们.

43:9 Now let them send their fornication far away and the offerings for the dead of their kings away from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
现在他们要从我面前除去淫乱和他们诸王的石碑, 我就住在他们中间, 直到永远.

43:10 You, son of man, describe to the house of Israel the temple and let them be ashamed of their iniquities and let them measure the pattern.
“人子啊! 你要把这殿指示以色列家, 使他们因自己的罪孽而羞愧, 又要他们量度殿的尺寸.

43:11 And if they are ashamed of all that they did, then the plan of the temple and its arrangement and its exits and its entrances and all of its plans and all of its statutes. And all of its plans and all of its laws make known to them and write them before their eyes, so that they may remember all of its plans and all of its statutes, so that they do them!
他们若因自己所行的羞愧, 你就要把殿的设计,结构,出入之处, 以及一切设计,规条,礼仪,法则, 都指示他们, 在他们眼前写下来, 使他们遵着殿的一切设计和规条去作.

43:12 This is the law of the temple: On the top of the mountain, all of its territory, all the way around it, will be most holy. Look, this is the law of the temple.
殿的法则是这样: 殿在山顶上周围的界限都是至圣的. 这就是殿的法则.

43:13 And these are the measurements of the altar in the cubits (a cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): now its gutter is a cubit in depth by a cubit in width and its rim along its edge all around is one span, and this is also the height of the altar.
“祭坛的尺寸是: 底座高五十公分, 边缘宽五十公分, 四围另有边高二十五公分. 这是祭坛的座.

43:14 And from the gutter at the ground up to the lower ledge is two cubits, and its width is one cubit, and from the small ledge up to the large ledge is four cubits, and its width is one cubit.
从底座到下层的台座, 高一公尺, 边缘宽五十公分; 从小台座到大台座, 高二公尺, 边缘宽五十公分.

43:15 And the altar hearth was four cubits, and from the altar hearth and upwards were the four horns of the altar.
祭坛的供台高二公尺, 从供台向上突出四个角,

43:16 And the altar hearth was twelve cubits in length and twelve cubits in width; it was squared on its four sides.
供台长六公尺, 宽六公尺, 四面见方.

43:17 And the ledge was fourteen cubits in length with fourteen cubits its width to all four of its sides, and a rim was all around it of one-half cubit. And the gutter for it was a cubit all around, and its steps were facing east.”
大台座长七公尺, 宽七公尺, 四面见方; 四围有边高二十五公分; 底座四围的边缘宽五十公分. 另有台阶朝向东面. ”

43:18 And he said to me, “Son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it is made, to sacrifice a burnt offering on it and to sprinkle blood on it.
他对我说: “人子啊! 主耶和华这样说: 祭坛的规条是这样: 做成了祭坛, 在上面献燔祭,洒上血的时候,

43:19 And you must give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, the ones coming near me,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “to serve me, a bull, a calf as a sin offering.
你要把一头公牛犊给那些亲近我,事奉我的祭司利未人作赎罪祭, 他们是撒督的后裔. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

43:20 You must take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, and the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim all around; thus you must purify it and make atonement for it.
你要取些公牛犊的血, 抹在祭坛的四角和台座的四角, 以及四围那些突起的边上. 你这样洁净祭坛, 祭坛就洁净了.

43:21 And you must take the bull, the sin offering, and you must burn it in the designated place of the temple outside of the holy place.
你又要把那作赎罪祭的公牛犊, 烧在圣所外面, 在圣殿指定的地方.

43:22 And on the second day you must offer a he-goat without defect as a sin offering, and they must purify the altar like they purified with the bull.
第二天, 你要献一只没有残疾的公山羊作赎罪祭, 为要洁净祭坛, 像用公牛犊洁净祭坛一样.

43:23 When you are finished from purifying, you must offer a bull, a calf, without defect, and a ram from the flock without defect.
你洁净了祭坛之后, 就要献一头没有残疾的公牛犊和羊群中一只没有残疾的公绵羊.

43:24 And you must bring them near before Yahweh, and the priests must throw salt on them, and they must offer them as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
你要在耶和华面前把它们献上, 祭司们要把盐撒在它们身上, 作燔祭献给耶和华.

43:25 For seven days you must provide a goat of sin offering for the day and a bull, a calf, and a ram from the flock without defect; you must provide them.
一连七天, 每天你都要预备一头公山羊为赎罪祭, 也要预备一头公牛犊和羊群中的一只公绵羊, 都要没有残疾的.

43:26 Seven days they must purify the altar and they must cleanse it and so they will consecrate it.
一连七天, 祭司们都要洁净祭坛, 祭坛就洁净了. 这样, 他们就把祭坛分别为圣了.

43:27 And they will finish the days, and then on the eighth day and beyond that the priests will offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, and then I will be pleased with you,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
满了七天, 从第八天起, 祭司们要在祭坛上献你们的燔祭和平安祭. 我那时必悦纳你们; 这是主耶和华的宣告. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 44

44:1 And he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that is facing east, and it was shut.
他又领我回到圣所朝东的外门, 这门关闭着.

44:2 And Yahweh said to me, “This gate will be shut. It shall not be opened, and no one will go through it, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered it, and it will be shut.
耶和华对我说: “这门必须关闭, 不可打开; 任何人也不得从那里进入; 因为耶和华以色列的神已经从那里进入, 所以这门必须关闭.

44:3 The prince, he may sit in it to eat food before Yahweh; he will come from the way of the portico of the gate and by means of its way he will also go out.”
只有君王可以坐在里面, 在耶和华面前吃饼; 他必须从门廊进入, 也必须从原路出来. ”

44:4 Then he brought me by the way of the gate of the north to the front of the temple, and I looked, and look! The glory of Yahweh filled the temple of Yahweh, and I fell on my face.
他又领我经过北门来到殿前; 我观看, 见耶和华的荣耀充满耶和华的殿, 我就脸伏在地.

44:5 And Yahweh said, “Son of man, set your heart and look with your eyes and with your ears hear everything I am saying to you concerning all the statutes of the temple of Yahweh and concerning all its laws, and you must listen with your heart concerning the entrance of the temple with all of the exits of the sanctuary.
耶和华对我说: “人子啊! 我所告诉你耶和华殿的一切规条和法则, 你都要留心, 用眼看, 用耳听, 并要留心圣殿的入口和圣所的所有出口.

44:6 And you must say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Enough for you, house of Israel, of all of your detestable things!
你要对悖逆的以色列家说: ‘主耶和华这样说: 以色列家啊! 你们所行一切可憎的事, 该够了吧!

44:7 At your bringing foreigners who are uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh to be in my sanctuary to profane it, my temple, as you offered my food, fat, and blood, so you broke my covenant by all of your detestable things.
你们除了行这一切可憎的事之外, 还在你们把脂肪和血献给我作食物的时候, 把身心都未受割礼的外族人带进我的圣所, 玷污了我的殿, 违背了我的约.

44:8 And you did not observe the responsibility of my sanctuary, but you appointed them as the keepers of my responsibility in my sanctuary for you.”
你们自己没有看守我的圣物, 却委派别人在我的圣所里代你们看守. ’”

44:9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Every foreigner uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh shall not come into my sanctuary—not any of the foreigners who are in the midst of the Israelites.
主耶和华这样说: “以色列人中一切身心都未受割礼的外族人, 都不可进入我的圣所.

44:10 But the Levites who removed themselves from me at the going astray of Israel, who went astray from me and went after their idols, as a result they will bear their guilt.
以色列人走迷了路的时候, 有利未人远离我, 走迷了路. 他们离开我去随从他们的偶像, 他们必担当自己的罪孽.

44:11 Then they will be in my sanctuary, those serving in my sanctuary, as sentries at the gates of the temple and as those serving the temple; they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they will stand before them to serve them,
他们要在我的圣所作仆役, 看管殿门, 在圣殿中供职; 他们要为人民宰杀燔祭牲和其他祭牲, 又要站在人民面前侍候他们.

44:12 because they used to serve them before their idols and they were for the house of Israel like a stumbling block of iniquity. Therefore I swore concerning them,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “that they will bear their iniquity.
因为这些利未人曾在他们的偶像前侍候这人民, 成了陷以色列家在罪孽中的绊脚石. 因此, 我向他们举手起誓, 他们必要担当自己的罪孽. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

44:13 And they shall not approach me to serve as a priest for me and to come near to all of my holy objects, to the most holy objects, and they will bear their disgrace and the results of their detestable things they have done.
他们不可亲近我, 作我的祭司, 也不可亲近我的一切圣物, 或至圣之物. 他们必要担当自己的羞辱和他们所行可憎之事的报应.

44:14 And I will appoint them as the keepers of the responsibility of the temple, for all of its work and everything which will be done in it.
然而我要委派他们看守圣殿, 办理圣殿的一切事务, 作一切当作的工.

44:15 But the Levitical priests, the descendants of Zadok, who cared for the responsibility of my sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from me, they will approach me to serve me, and they will stand before me to offer to me fat and blood,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
“以色列人走迷了路, 离开我的时候, 有祭司利未人, 就是撒督的子孙, 仍然看守我的圣所; 只有他们可以亲近我, 事奉我, 侍立在我面前, 把脂肪和血献给我. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

44:16 “They shall come to my sanctuary, and they shall approach my table to serve me, and they will observe my requirement.
他们可以进入我的圣所, 可以走近我的桌前来事奉我, 守我所吩咐的职责.

44:17 And then when they come to the gates of the inner courtyards, they shall put on their inner linen garments and not wear wool garments when they serve in the gates of the inner courtyard and inside the temple.
每逢他们进入内院的门, 必须穿上细麻衣; 每逢他们在内院的门和圣殿里供职, 他们不可穿上羊毛的衣服.

44:18 Linen turbans shall be on their head and linen undergarments shall be on their waists; they shall not gird themselves with material causing perspiration.
他们头上要戴细麻布的头巾, 腰间要穿细麻布的裤子; 不可穿上使身体容易出汗的衣服.

44:19 When they go out to the outer courtyard to the people, they must take off their garment in which they were serving, and they must place them in the holy chambers, and they must put on other garments, so that they will not make the people holy with their garments.
每逢他们出到外院民众那里, 就要把供职的衣服脱下, 存放在圣殿的房子里, 然后穿上别的衣服, 免得因自己的圣衣使人民成圣.

44:20 And their head they shall not shave, or long hair they shall not let grow; short they shall clip their heads.
他们不可剃头, 也不可留长头发, 只可剪短头发.

44:21 And no priest shall drink wine when they come into the inner courtyard.

他们要教导我的子民分别圣俗, 使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的.

他们要在争讼的事上作判断, 要按着我的典章判断. 他们要在我所有的节期里谨守我的律法和条例, 守我的安息日为圣日.

44:25 And near a dead person he shall not come to be defiled, but only for a father and for a mother and for a son and for a daughter, for a brother and for a sister who was not married may they defile themselves.
他们不可接近死人, 玷污自己, 但如果死人是他们的父亲,母亲,儿子,女儿,兄弟或是未嫁的姊妹, 他们就可以玷污自己.

44:26 And, after his cleansing, they shall count for him seven days,
祭司洁净以后, 还要再等七天.

44:27 and then on the day of his coming into the sanctuary to the inner courtyard to serve in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
他进入内院, 到圣所去, 在圣所供职的时候, 他要献上赎罪祭. 这是主耶和华的宣告.

44:28 And thus it will be to them as regards inheritance, that I am their inheritance, and so you shall not give to them property in Israel; I am their property.
“祭司必有产业; 我就是他们的产业. 你们不可在以色列中给他们基业; 我就是他们的基业.

44:29 The grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering, they themselves may eat them, and also all the consecrated possessions in Israel will be theirs.
素祭,赎罪祭和赎愆祭, 他们都可以吃. 以色列中所有献给耶和华之物, 都要归给他们.

所有初熟之物中最好的和你们献上的一切供物, 都要归给祭司; 你们也要把最先磨好的面给祭司, 好让福气临到你的家.

44:31 Any dead body or mangled carcass from the birds or from the animals, the priests shall not eat.”
无论是飞鸟或是走兽, 凡是自然死的, 或是被撕裂的, 祭司都不可吃.

Ezekiel - Chapter 45

45:1 And when you allocate the land as an inheritance, you shall provide a contribution for Yahweh as a holy portion from the land, its length being twenty-five thousand cubits and its width ten thousand cubits; it is holy in all its territory, all around.
“你们抽签分地为业的时候, 要献上一份给耶和华作圣区, 长十二公里半, 宽十公里(此译法参古译本, “十公里”原文作“五公里”); 整个地区都是圣的.

其中要有一块作为圣所之地, 长二百五十公尺, 宽二百五十公尺, 四面见方; 周围再有二十五公尺作空地.

“归给君王之地要在所献的圣区和城的基业两旁, 一块对着所献的圣区, 一块对着城的基业, 从西边那块地的西面边界, 到东边那块地的东面边界, 长度与每支派所分得的地一样长.

你们要用公道的天秤,公道的量器.

45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be one unit of measurement; the tenth part of the homer is the bath, and the tenth of the homer is the ephah; so the homer shall be its unit of measurement.

45:21 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast lasting for seven days, when you shall eat unleavened breads.
“正月十四日, 你们要守逾越节, 节期共七天, 期间你们要吃无酵饼.

45:22 And the prince shall provide on that day for himself and for all of the people of the land a bull as a sin offering.
在那一天, 君王要为自己和国中所有的人民预备一头公牛作赎罪祭.

45:23 And during the seven days of the religious feast he shall provide as a burnt offering to Yahweh seven bulls and seven rams without defect for each of the seven days, and as a sin offering a he-goat for each day.
这节期的七天, 每天他都要为耶和华预备无残疾的公牛七头和公绵羊七只作燔祭; 他每天又要预备公山羊一只作赎罪祭.

45:24 And as a grain offering, an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram he must provide, and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
他也要预备素祭, 每一头公牛要与十七公升细面一同献上, 每一只公绵羊要与十七公升细面一同献上; 每份十七公升的细面加油三公升.

45:25 In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall provide just as he has for these seven days, as he did for the sin offering, as he did for the burnt offering, and as he did for the grain offering, and as he did for the olive oil.’ ”
七月十五日, 守节的时候, 他也要这样行, 照着逾越节的赎罪祭,燔祭,素祭和油的条例去作. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 46

46:1 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east must be shut on the six of the days for work, but on the day of the Sabbath it must be opened and on the day of the new moon it must be opened.
主耶和华这样说: “内院朝东的门, 在工作的六天里, 必须关闭, 在安息日却要打开, 在月朔之日也要打开.

46:2 And the prince shall come by way of the portico of the gate from the outside, and he shall stand at the doorframe of the gate and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his fellowship offerings, and he shall bow down at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be closed until the evening.
君王要从外面经这门的门廊进入, 站在门框旁边. 祭司们要为他预备燔祭和平安祭. 他要在门槛那里敬拜, 然后出去. 这门不可关闭, 直到晚上.

46:3 And the people of the land will bow down at the doorway of that gate on the Sabbaths and on the new moons before Yahweh.
每逢安息日和月朔, 国中的人民要在这门口, 在耶和华面前敬拜.

46:4 And the burnt offering which the prince will offer to Yahweh on the Sabbath day must be six male lambs without defect and a ram without defect.
君王在安息日所献给耶和华的燔祭, 是六只无残疾的羊羔和一只无残疾的公绵羊.

46:5 And the grain offering he will give shall be an ephah for each ram, and for the male lambs the grain offering shall be as much as he wants to give and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
所献的素祭是这样: 公绵羊要与十七公升细面一同献上, 他要按着自己的能力, 随同那些羊羔献上若干份细面, 但每份细面加油三公升.

46:6 And on the day of the new moon he will offer a bull, a calf without defect and six male lambs and a ram; they must be without defect.
他要在月朔献一头无残疾的公牛犊,六只羊羔和一只公绵羊, 都是无残疾的.

46:7 And an ephah for each bull and an ephah for the ram he must provide as a grain offering, and also for the male lambs as much as he can afford and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
他要预备素祭, 公牛要与十七公升细面一同献上, 公绵羊要与十七公升细面一同献上, 他要按着自己的能力, 随同那些羊羔献上若干份细面, 但每份细面加油三公升.

46:8 And when the prince comes, on the way of the portico of the gate he shall come and by this way he shall go out.
君王进入的时候, 要经这门的门廊进入, 也要从原路出去.

46:9 And when the people of the land come before Yahweh at the festivals, the one coming by way of the gate of the north to bow down must go out by the way of the gate of the south, and the one coming by way of the gate of the south must go out by the way of the gate of the north, so he must not return by the way of the gate by which he came, but before it he shall go out opposite it.
“在各指定的节日中, 国中的人民来朝见耶和华的时候, 那从北门进来敬拜的, 要从南门出去; 那从南门进来的, 要从北门出去; 谁也不可从他进来的门回去, 却要从对面的门出去.

46:10 And the prince will be in the midst of them; he will come in when they come in, and when they go out he will go out.
君王要在人民当中, 人民进入的时候, 他也进入; 人民出去的时候, 他也出去.

46:11 And at the festivals and at the appointed times, the grain offering will be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with the ram and with the male lambs, as much as he wants to give, and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
在节期和指定的节日中, 所献的素祭是这样: 每一头公牛要与十七公升细面一同献上, 每一只公绵羊要与十七公升细面一同献上, 每一只羊羔要按着他的能力, 与细面一同献上, 每份十七公升的细面加油三公升.

46:12 And when the prince makes a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or a fellowship offering as a freewill offering to Yahweh, the gate facing east will be open for him. And he must offer his burnt offering and his fellowship offering just as he does on the day of the Sabbath, and then he must go out and the gate will shut after he goes out.
君王把甘心献的燔祭或平安祭献给耶和华的时候, 朝东的门要为他打开. 他就献上他的燔祭和平安祭, 正如他在安息日所献上的一样. 他献完了就出去; 他出去以后, 门就要关上.

46:13 And a male lamb, a yearling without defect, he must provide as a burnt offering daily for Yahweh; every morning he must provide it.
“每天你要预备一只一岁无残疾的羊羔, 献给耶和华作燔祭, 每天早晨都要献上.

46:14 And a grain offering he must provide in addition to it every morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the finely milled flour as a grain offering to Yahweh as a perpetual statute.
每天早晨也要预备同献的素祭, 细面两公斤, 并调和细面所用的油一公升, 作常献给耶和华的素祭, 这是永远的定例.

46:15 So they must provide the male lamb and the grain offering and the olive oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.”
所以每天早晨要这样预备羊羔,素祭和油, 作常献的燔祭. ”

46:16 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “If the prince gives a gift to any one from among his sons, it is his inheritance and it will belong to his sons; it is their possession as an inheritance.
主耶和华这样说: “君王如果把自己一部分的产业作礼物赐给他的一个儿子, 这产业就要归给他的子孙; 那是他们所承受的基业.

46:17 And if he give a gift from his inheritance to one from among his servants, then it will belong to him until the year of release, and then it will return to the prince. His inheritance with respect to his sons will be only for them.
君王如把自己的一部分产业作礼物赐给他的一个臣仆, 这产业就要归给那臣仆直到自由之年, 然后要归还给君王. 君王的产业, 至终只可归儿子所有.

46:18 But the prince shall not take from the inheritance of the people to rob them, separating them from their property; from his own property he shall bestow an inheritance on his sons, so that my people will not be driven away, any one, from his property.”
君王不可夺取人民的产业, 把他们赶离他们的基业. 他要从自己的基业中把产业赐给自己的儿子, 免得我的子民因被赶离自己的基业而四散. ”

46:19 Then he brought me through the entrance which was on the side of the gate to the holy chambers to the priests; the chambers were facing northwards and, look, there was a place at the extreme end westwards.
那带领我的, 领我从门旁的入口, 进到那些朝向北面, 供祭司使用, 圣洁的房子. 在西边的尽头有一块地方.

46:20 And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests will boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering in order not to bring them out to the outer courtyard to make the people holy.
他对我说: “这就是祭司煮赎愆祭牲和赎罪祭牲, 以及烤素祭的地方, 免得祭物带出外院, 使人民成圣. ”

46:21 And he brought me to the outer courtyard and led me past the four corners of the courtyard; and look, there was a courtyard in each corner of the courtyard.
他又领我出到外院, 使我经过院子的四个角落; 院子的每个角落都有一个小院子.

46:22 In the four corners of the courtyard were small courtyards forty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, each with the same measurements for the four of them with corners.
院子四个角落的小(“小”字原文不详)院子, 每个长二十公尺, 宽十五公尺; 四个角落的院子, 大小都是一样.

46:23 And a row was all around inside them, and cooking-places were made under the rows of stones all around.
在四个小院子里面, 每个四边都有一排石墙; 在这四排石墙下面, 都有炉灶.

46:24 And he said to me, “These are the houses for cooking, where the ones serving the temple shall cook the sacrifices of the people.”
他对我说: “这些都是厨房, 在圣殿里供职的要在这里煮人民的祭物. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 47

47:1 And he brought me back to the doorway of the temple and, look! There was water coming out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, because the face of the temple was eastwards; and the water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, from south of the altar.
然后, 他带我回到圣殿的门口. 有水正从殿的门槛往下流出来, 向东流去, 因为圣殿是朝东的. 这水从殿的右边, 从祭坛的南边下面流出来.

47:2 And he brought me out by the way of the north gate and he led me around by the way leading to the outside of the outer gate by way of the gate facing east, and look, there was water trickling from the south side.
他又带我从北门出来, 再领我从外面绕到朝东的外门. 有水正从右边流出来.

47:3 As the man went eastward a measuring line was in his hand, and he measured a thousand cubits. And he led me through on into the water; it was ankle deep.
那人手里拿着一根准绳向东走出去的时候, 量了五百公尺的距离, 然后领我从水中走过去, 那里的水到了脚踝.

47:4 And he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me over into the waters and it was knee deep. And he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me over into the waters and it was waist deep.
他又量了五百公尺, 然后领我从水中走过去, 水到了膝盖. 他又量了五百公尺, 然后领我走过去, 水到了腰.

47:5 And he measured a thousand cubits, and it became a stream that I was not able to cross, because the water rose, waters a person could swim in, and became a stream that could not be crossed.
他再量了五百公尺, 水已成了一条河, 以致我不能走过去, 因为水势高涨, 成为只可供游泳的水, 而不能走过去的河.

47:6 And he asked me, “Son of man, did you see this?” And he made me go, and he brought me back along the bank of the stream.
他对我说: “人子啊! 你看到了吗? ”他就领着我, 带我回到河边.

47:7 When I returned, then look! On the bank of the river were many trees on both sides.
我回来以后, 看见河这边和那边的岸上有很多树木.

47:8 And he said to me, “These waters are going out to the eastern region, and they go down to the Jordan Valley, and they come to the sea and flow into the sea where they issue out, and the waters in the sea will be healed.
他又对我说: “这水要向东方的地区流出去, 下到亚拉巴, 流入死海. 这水流入死海, 就使海里的水变淡(“变淡”原文作“得医治”).

47:9 And then every living creature with which it teems, to every place the waters come it will live; and very many fish will live because these waters came there, and so the water will be healed and everything will be alive everywhere that the stream will come.
那时, 这河流过的地方, 所有滋生的动物都可以存活. 这水流到哪里, 哪里就有许多鱼; 因为这河流到哪里, 海水就变淡, 一切都可以存活.

47:10 And then fishers from En Gedi and on up to En Eglaim will stand beside it, a sea-girt drying yard for nets; their fish for the dragnets will be of every kind, like the fish of the great sea, and very many.
必有渔夫站在河边, 从隐．基底直到隐．以革莲, 都是晒网的地方. 各类的鱼都像大海里的鱼那样多.

47:11 But its marshes and its swamps will not be cured, for they were given for salt.
只有沼泽和洼地的水不能变淡, 留作产盐之用.

47:12 And along the stream will go up on its banks from both sides every tree producing food; its leaf will not wither and it will not cease producing its fruit. Every month it will bear early fruit, for its waters are going out from the sanctuary, and its fruit will be as food, and its leaf for healing.”
在河这边和那边的岸上, 都必有各种果树生长, 可作食物, 树上的叶子不枯干, 果子也不断绝. 每月必结出新果子, 因为树所需的水是从圣所里流出来的. 树上的果子可作食物, 叶子可以治病. ”

47:13 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “This is the boundary by which you shall distribute the land for the twelve tribes of Israel: Two shares shall be for Joseph.
主耶和华这样说: “你们按着以色列十二支派分地为业, 要照着这些地界: 约瑟要得双份.

47:14 And you must take possession of it, each one a share like his brother, of this land which I swore to give it to your fathers, and so this land shall fall to you as an inheritance.
你们要均分这地为业, 因为我曾举手要把这地赐给你们的列祖, 这地必归给你们为业.

47:15 And this is the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the great sea by the way of Hethlon until you come to Zedad,
“这地的边界是: 北边从大海经希特伦的路, 到西达达的入口,

47:16 Hamath to Berothath to Sibraim, which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Hamath, on to Hazer Hatticon, which is on the boundary of Hauran.
又经哈马,比罗他和位于大马士革边界与哈马边界之间的西伯莲, 直到浩兰的边界的哈撒．哈提干.

47:17 And so the boundary will be from the sea to Hazar Enan at the boundary of Damascus northwards and the boundary of Hamath to the north, and this is the boundary on the side of the north.
这边界从海到哈萨．以难, 北边有大马士革的边界, 再北有哈马的边界. 这是北面的地界.

47:18 And the eastern boundary will be between Hauran and Damascus, and from between Gilead and the land of Israel along the Jordan River from the boundary on the eastern sea to Tamar. And this is the border on the east.
东面的地界是在浩兰和大马士革之间, 基列和以色列地之间的约旦河. 你们要从北面的地界量到东海, 这是东面的地界.

47:19 And on the south side the border will run from Tamar up to the waters of Meribot Kadesh and along the wadi to the Great Sea. And this is the boundary to the south.
南面的地界, 从他玛到米利巴．加低斯水, 经埃及小河, 到大海. 这是南面的地界.

47:20 And on the west side the Great Sea shall be the boundary up to opposite Lebo-Hamath. This is the western boundary.
西面的地界是大海, 从南面的地界到哈马口的对面. 这是西面的地界.

47:21 You shall divide this land for yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
“你们要按着以色列的支派分这地.

47:22 And then you shall allocate it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens dwelling as aliens in the midst of you who have children in the midst of you, and so they shall be to you just like full citizens among the Israelites. With you they shall be allotted with an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
将来你们要抽签分这地为业, 归给你们和你们中间的外族人. 他们在你们中间生儿育女. 你们应该看他们如同本地生的以色列人, 他们要在以色列支派中与你们一起抽签分地为业.

47:23 And then in the tribe in which an alien who is with you dwells, there you shall give his inheritance,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
将来无论在哪一支派里, 若有外族人寄居, 你们就要在那里把他的产业分给他. ”这是主耶和华的宣告.

Ezekiel - Chapter 48

48:1 And these are the names of the tribes: At the end of the north, along the way to Hethlon from Lebo-hamath to Hazar Enan on the boundary of Damascus beside Hamath northward, there will be one portion for Dan from the eastern border to the west.
“各支派名下的产业是这样: 在北边尽头的地界起, 沿着希特伦的路, 经哈马口到大马士革边界上的哈萨．以难, 北边靠着哈马地, 从东到西, 是但的一份.

48:2 And next to the territory of Dan, from the eastern border up to the western border, one portion for Asher.
沿着但的边界, 从东到西, 是亚设的一份.

48:3 And next to the territory of Asher, from the eastern border and up to the western border, one portion for Naphtali.
沿着亚设的边界, 从东到西, 是拿弗他利的一份.

48:4 And next to the territory of Naphtali, from the eastern border up to the western border, one portion for Manasseh.
沿着拿弗他利的边界, 从东到西, 是玛拿西的一份.

48:5 And next to the territory of Manasseh, from the eastern border up to the western border, one portion for Ephraim.
沿着玛拿西的边界, 从东到西, 是以法莲的一份.

48:6 And next to the territory of Ephraim, from the eastern border and up to the western border, one portion for Reuben.
沿着以法莲的边界, 从东到西, 是流本的一份.

48:7 And next to the territory of Reuben, from the eastern border up to the western border, one portion for Judah.
沿着流本的边界, 从东到西, 是犹大的一份.

48:8 And next to the territory of Judah, from the eastern border up to the western border, shall be located the contribution that you set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and its length just like one of the portions from the eastern border up to the western border, and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
“沿着犹大的边界, 从东到西, 就是你们所要献出的圣区, 长十二公里半, 从东到西的长度与其他各份的一样, 圣所要在其中.

48:9 The contribution that you shall set apart for Yahweh, its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and its width ten thousand cubits.
你们献给耶和华的地区, 要长十二公里半, 宽十公里.

48:10 And to these shall be the holy district: to the priests northwards twenty-five thousand cubits, and westwards its width ten thousand cubits, and eastwards its width ten thousand cubits, and southwards its length twenty-five thousand cubits, and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in the midst of it.
献给祭司的圣地, 北边长十二公里半, 西边宽五公里, 东边宽五公里, 南边长十二公里半.

48:11 To the priests, the ones being consecrated from the descendants of Zadok, who took care of my service and who did not go astray when the Israelites went astray, just as the Levites went astray.
这地要归给祭司, 就是撒督子孙中分别为圣的. 他们守我所吩咐的职责; 以色列人走迷路的时候, 他们不像利未人那样走迷路.

48:12 And it will be for them a special gift from the contribution of the land as a most holy object next to the territory of the Levites.
因此, 从所献的圣区要有一块地献给祭司, 作为至圣之地. 这地沿着利未人的地界.

48:13 And the Levites alongside the territory of the priests shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and in width ten thousand cubits, its full length, twenty-five thousand cubits and its full width, ten thousand cubits.
沿着祭司的地界要有一块地献给利未人, 长十二公里半, 宽五公里. 祭司的地也是长十二公里半, 宽五公里.

48:14 And they shall not sell any part from it, and shall not exchange, and shall not transfer the best of the land, for it is holy to Yahweh.
这地的任何部分不可变卖, 不可交换, 也不可转让给别人, 因为它是这地中最好的一份, 是归耶和华为圣的.

48:15 And the remaining part of five thousand cubits in the width by twenty-five thousand cubits, is unholy; it is for the city as dwelling and as pastureland; and the city will be located in the middle of it.
“所剩下的地, 宽两公里半, 长十二公里半, 要作俗地, 供城市,居民和郊野之用. 城要在其中.

48:16 And these shall be its measurements: on its side to the north, four thousand five hundred cubits; and on its side to the south, four thousand five hundred cubits; and on the eastern side, four thousand five hundred cubits; and on the western side, four thousand five hundred cubits.
城的大小是这样: 北边二千二百五十公尺, 南边二千二百五十公尺, 东边二千二百五十公尺, 西边二千二百五十公尺.

48:17 And a pastureland shall be for the city northwards, two hundred and fifty cubits, southwards two hundred and fifty cubits, and eastwards two hundred and fifty cubits, and westwards two hundred and fifty cubits.
城要有郊野, 北边一百二十五公尺, 南边一百二十五公尺, 东边一百二十五公尺, 西边一百二十五公尺.

48:18 And the rest in its length alongside the holy district, ten thousand cubits eastwards and ten thousand westwards; and it shall be alongside the holy district and its yield shall be as food for the workers of the city.
这俗地两旁剩下的地, 沿着所献的圣区的长度计算, 东边五公里, 西边五公里. 这些地的出产要给城里的工人作食物.

48:19 And the workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel shall cultivate it.
城里的工人来自以色列各支派, 耕种这地.

48:20 All of the contribution, twenty-five thousand by twenty five thousand cubits square, you shall set apart as the holy district along with the property of the city.
所献的整个地区, 长十二公里半, 宽十二公里半, 是见方的. 你们要把所献的圣区, 连同城的基业, 一起献上.

48:21 And the rest shall be to the prince, on both sides of the holy district and of the property of the city extending from twenty-five thousand cubits of the contribution up to the boundary of the east, and westwards extending twenty-five thousand cubits to the boundary of the sea alongside the tribal portions. They shall be for the prince, and it shall be the holy district, and the sanctuary of the temple will be in its middle.
“所献的圣区和城的基业, 两旁所剩下的都要归给君王, 从那宽十二公里半的献地以东至东面的边界, 以及从那宽十二公里半的献地以西至西边的边界沿着其他各分地, 都要归给君王. 这样所献的圣地和殿的圣所, 都在这两块地的中间.

48:22 And also the property of the Levites and the property of the city will be in the midst of the property which is for the prince; between the territory of Judah and between the territory of Benjamin the land will be for the prince.
利未人的基业和城的基业都位于君王的地中间. 君王的地是在犹大的边界和便雅悯的边界中间.

48:23 And for the remainder of the tribes: From the side on the east up to the side on the west, Benjamin one portion;
“至于其余的支派, 从东到西, 是便雅悯的一份.

48:24 and next to the territory of Benjamin, from the side on the east up to the side of the sea, Simeon one portion;
沿着便雅悯的边界, 从东到西, 是西缅的一份.

48:25 and next to the territory of Simeon, from the side of the east up to the side of the sea, Issachar one portion;
沿着西缅的边界, 从东到西, 是以萨迦的一份.

48:26 and next to the territory of Issachar, from the side of the east up to the side of the sea, Zebulun one portion;
沿着以萨迦的边界, 从东到西, 是西布伦的一份.

48:27 and next to the territory of Zebulun, from the side of the east up to the side of the sea, Gad one portion;
沿着西布伦的边界, 从东到西, 是迦得的一份.

48:28 and next to the territory of Gad, to the side of the south, southward; and the territory will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, toward the wadi, on to the Great Sea.
迦得南面的边界, 是从他玛到米利巴．迦底斯水, 经埃及小河到大海.

48:29 This is the land that you shall allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
这就是你们要抽签分给以色列各支派为业的地. 这些分地就是他们所得的分. ”这是主耶和华的宣告.

48:30 And these shall be the exits of the city: From the north side, four thousand and five hundred cubits by measurement.
“城北面的长度是二千二百五十公尺. 城的出口是这样:

48:31 And the gates of the city shall be according to the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates to the north, the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.
城门要按以色列各支派取名. 北面有三个门口, 一个是流本门, 一个是犹大门, 一个是利未门.

48:32 And on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, and three gates, and so the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.
东面的长度是二千二百五十公尺, 有三个门口, 一个是约瑟门, 一个是便雅悯门, 一个是但门.

48:33 And on the south side, four thousand five hundred cubits by measurement, and so three gates, the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.
南面的长度是二千二百五十公尺, 有三个门口, 一个是西缅门, 一个是以萨迦门, 一个是西布伦门.

48:34 And on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits, and their gates three, the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.
西面的长度是二千二百五十公尺, 也有三个门口, 一个是迦得门, 一个是亚设门, 一个是拿弗他利门.

48:35 All around the city is eighteen thousand cubits, and the name of the city from that day is “Yahweh Is There”!
城的周围共长九千公尺. 从此以后, 这城的名字要称为‘耶和华的所在’. ”

Daniel (但以理书)

Daniel - Chapter 1

1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
犹大王约雅敬在位第三年, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来到耶路撒冷, 把城围困.

1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim the king of Judah into his hand and some of of the utensils of the temple of God, and he brought them to the land of Shinar to the temple of his gods, and he brought the utensils to the treasury of his gods.
主把犹大王约雅敬和神殿中的一部分器物交在尼布甲尼撒手里, 他就把这些器物带到示拿地的神庙那里, 存放在庙中的宝库里.

1:4 youths who have no physical defect, and who are handsome, and who are prudent in all wisdom and endowed with knowledge, and who understand insight, and who have the ability in them to serve in the palace of the king. And the king ordered him to teach them the literature and the language of the Chaldeans.
这些年轻人必须没有残疾,英俊,足智多才,有高度学习能力,明察事理, 而且他们必须有能力可以在王宫里工作. 你要教他们学习迦勒底的文学和语言. ”

1:5 And the king assigned to them his daily portion from the fine food of the king, and from the wine that he drank, and instructed that they were to be educated for three years. And at the end of their training, they were to be stationed before the king.
王指定每日给他们一份御用的佳肴美酒; 又教养他们三年. 期满以后, 他们就侍立在王面前.

1:6 Now there was among them from the Judeans, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
他们中间有犹大人但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅.

1:7 And the commander of the court officials gave them names, and he called Daniel, Belteshazzar; and Hananiah, Shadrach; and Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego.
太监长给他们起了新的名字, 称但以理为伯提沙撒, 哈拿尼雅为沙得拉, 米沙利为米煞, 亚撒利雅为亚伯尼歌.

1:8 Now Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the fine food of the king, and with the wine that he drank, and so he requested from the commander of the court officials permission so that he would not defile himself.
但以理决心不让御用的佳肴美酒玷污自己, 所以求太监长帮助他, 使他不用玷污自己.

1:9 And God gave Daniel favor and compassion before the commander of the court officials,
于是神使但以理在太监长面前得着恩惠和同情.

1:10 and the commander of the court officials said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord, the king, who has determined your food and your drink, for why should he see your face having a worse appearance than the young men who are your age? Then you will endanger my head with the king.”
只是太监长对但以理说: “我惧怕我主我王, 他已指定了你们应用的饮食; 如果他见到你们的面色比你们同岁的年轻人憔悴难看, 你们就使我的头在王面前保不住了. ”

1:11 Then Daniel asked the guard whom the commander of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
后来但以理对太监长分派看管但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅的人说:

1:12 “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us some of the vegetables, and let us eat and let us drink water.
“请你试试仆人十天, 容我们只吃素菜,喝清水.

1:13 Then let our appearances and the appearance of the young men who are eating the fine food of the king be compared before you, and then deal with your servants according to what you see.”
然后, 请你观察我们的容貌, 和那些享用王的佳肴的年轻人的容貌, 就照着你观察的结果, 待你的仆人吧! ”

1:14 So he agreed to this proposal with them, and he tested them for ten days.
看管他们的人就允准他们的这个要求, 试试他们十天.

1:15 And at the end of ten days their appearances appeared better and they were healthier of body than all the young men who were eating the fine food of the king.
过了十天, 见他们的容貌比所有享用王的佳肴的年轻人, 更加俊美健壮.

1:16 So the guard continued to withhold their fine food and the wine of their drink, and he gave them vegetables.
看管他们的人就撤去指定给他们享用的佳肴美酒, 让他们吃素菜.

1:17 And as for these four young men, God gave to them knowledge and insight into all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had insight into all visions and dreams.
这四个年轻人在各种文字和学问上, 神都赐他们知识和聪明; 但以理并且能明白一切异象和异梦.

1:18 And at the end of the time the king had set to bring them, the commander of the court officials brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
到了王吩咐带所有年轻人进宫的日子, 太监长就领他们到尼布甲尼撒王面前.

1:19 And the king spoke with them, and among all of them no one was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; then they stood before the king.
王和他们谈话, 发现他们所有的人中, 没有一个比得上但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅的; 他们四人就侍立在王面前.

1:20 And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired from them, he found them ten times better than all of the magicians and conjurers that were in his entire kingdom.
王考问他们一切智慧和聪明的事, 就发现他们比全国所有的术士和用法术的更胜十倍.

1:21 And Daniel was there until the first year of Cyrus the king.
直到古列王元年, 但以理还在.

Daniel - Chapter 2

2:1 Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.
尼布甲尼撒在位第二年, 他作了梦, 因此心里烦乱, 不能入睡.

2:2 So the king said to call the magicians and the conjurers and the sorcerers and the astrologers to tell to the king his dreams. And they came in and they stood before the king.
于是王吩咐人把术士,用法术的,行邪术的和迦勒底人都召来, 要他们把王的梦告诉王. 他们来了, 站在王面前.

2:3 And the king said to them, “I have had a dream and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.”
王对他们说: “我作了一个梦, 心里烦乱, 我要知道这是什么梦. ”

2:4 And the astrologers said to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell the dream to your servants and we will reveal the explanation.”
迦勒底人用亚兰话对王说: “愿王万岁! 请把那梦告诉仆人, 我们好解释梦的意思. ”

2:5 The king answered and said to the astrologers, “The command from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its explanation, then you will be broken into pieces and your houses will be laid in ruins.
王回答迦勒底人说: “我已经定旨: 如果你们不把那梦和梦的意思向我说明, 就必被碎尸万段, 你们的家必成为废墟.

2:6 But if you tell me the dream and its explanation, you will receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore, tell me the dream and its explanation.”
如果你们能把那梦和梦的意思向我解释, 就必从我这里得礼物,奖赏和大尊荣, 所以你们要把梦和梦的意思向我解释. ”

2:7 They answered once more and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants and we will make the explanation known.”
他们第二次回答王说: “请王把梦告诉仆人, 我们好解释梦的意思. ”

2:8 The king answered and said, “Certainly I know that you are trying to gain time because you have seen that this matter is firmly decreed by me,
王回答说: “我清楚知道你们企图拖延时间, 因为你们看出我已经定旨.

2:9 for if you do not make the dream known to me, your verdict is fixed, and you have conspired to say a lying and deceitful word to me until the circumstances will change. Therefore, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can tell me its explanation.”
如果你们不把那梦向我说明, 只有一个办法对付你们. 你们串通在我面前胡言乱语, 希望时势有所改变. 你们现在要把梦告诉我, 好使我知道你们真能把梦的意思向我解释. ”

2:10 The astrologers answered the king and said, “There is not a man on earth that is able to reveal the word of the king; in fact, no great and powerful king has ever asked a thing like this of any magician or conjurer or astrologer.
迦勒底人在王面前回答说: “世上没有人能把王所问的事说出来, 因为从来没有一个伟大和有权势的君王向术士,用法术的和迦勒底人询问过这样的事.

2:11 And the thing that the king is asking is too difficult and there is no one who can reveal it to the king except the gods whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
王所问的事很难答, 除了那不和世人同住的神明以外, 没有人能在王面前把这事说出来. ”

2:12 Because of this the king became angry, and he became very much enraged, and he said that all the wise men of Babylon are to be destroyed.
因此, 王大发烈怒, 下令杀绝巴比伦所有的智慧人.

2:13 And the decree was issued, and the wise men were on the verge of being executed, and they searched for Daniel and his companions to be executed.
于是王的御旨发出, 要把智慧人都杀死; 人就寻找但以理和他的同伴, 要杀死他们.

2:14 Then Daniel responded prudently and discretely to Arioch, the commander of the imperial guard of the king, who had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon.
那时, 王的护卫长亚略出来, 要杀死巴比伦的智慧人, 但以理就婉转机敏地向他询问;

2:15 He asked and said to Arioch, the royal official of the king, “Why is the decree from the king so severe?” Then Arioch explained the matter to Daniel.
但以理对王的护卫长亚略说: “王的命令为什么这样严厉呢? ”亚略就把这事告诉但以理.

2:16 And Daniel went in and requested from the king that he would give him time, and he would tell the king the explanation.
但以理就进去, 求王宽限, 使他可以把那梦的意思为王解释.

2:17 Then Daniel went to his home, and he made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, his companions,
但以理回到自己的家里, 把这事告诉他的同伴哈拿尼雅,米沙利和亚撒利雅,

2:18 and told them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions, along with the remainder of the wise men of Babylon, would not be killed.
要他们为这隐秘的事祈求天上的神怜悯, 免得但以理和他的同伴与巴比伦其余的智慧人一同灭亡.

2:19 Then in a vision of the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel; then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
于是这隐秘的事在夜间的异象中给但以理显明了. 但以理就称颂天上的神.

2:20 Daniel said: “Let his name, the name of God, be blessed throughout the ages, for the wisdom and the power are his.
但以理说: “愿神的名得称颂, 从永远直到永远, 因为智慧和能力都是属他的.

2:21 And he changes the times and the seasons, and he deposes kings and he sets up kings; he gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men who know understanding.
他改变时间,季节; 他废王,立王; 他赐智慧给智慧人, 赐知识给聪明人.

2:22 He reveals the deep and the hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
他显明深奥和隐密的事, 他洞悉暗中的一切, 因为光明与他同住.

2:23 To you, O God of my ancestors, I give thanks and I give praises, for the wisdom and the power you gave to me, and now you have made known to me what we have asked from you, for you have made known to us the matter of the king.”
我列祖的神啊! 我感谢你, 赞美你! 你把智慧和能力赐了给我; 我们向你所求的, 现在你已向我显明, 把王的事告诉了我们. ”

2:24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and thus he said to him: “You must not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me in before the king and I will give the explanation to the king.”
于是但以理进去见亚略, 就是王委派去杀绝巴比伦的智慧人的, 对他这样说: “不要杀绝巴比伦的智慧人; 请把我带到王面前, 我要把梦的意思向王解释. ”

2:25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel in before the king and thus he said to him: “I have found a man among the exiles of Judah who can relate the explanation to the king.
亚略就急忙把但以理带到王面前, 对王这样说: “我在被掳的犹大人中找到一个能把梦的意思向王说明的人. ”

2:26 The king then asked and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its explanation?”
王问称为伯提沙撒的但以理说: “你能向我说明我所见的梦和梦的意思吗? ”

2:27 Daniel answered the king and said, “The mystery that the king asks, no wise men, conjurers, magicians, or diviners are able to make known to the king.
但以理在王面前回答说: “王所问的那隐秘的事, 没有智慧人,用法术的,术士和占星家能向王解释;

2:28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what it is that will be at the end of days. This is your dream and the visions of your head on your bed.
只有一位在天上的神能把一切隐秘的事显明; 他已经把日后将要发生的事告诉你尼布甲尼撒王了. 你的梦和你躺在床上时脑海中出现的异象就是这样:

2:29 “As for you, king, your thoughts on your bed turned to what it was that would be in the future, and the revealer of mysteries has made known to you what that would be.
王啊! 你躺在床上时, 想到日后将要发生的事, 那显明隐秘事的神就把将要发生的事向你说明了.

2:30 And as for me, it is not because of wisdom that is in me more than any other living person that this mystery is revealed to me, but in order that the explanation may be made known to the king and you will understand the thoughts of your mind.
现在这隐秘的事向我显明, 并不是因为我的智慧胜过所有的人, 而是要使王知道梦的意思和你心想明白的事.

2:31 “You, O king, were looking and, look, there was one great statue. This statue was huge and its brilliance extraordinary, standing there before you, and its appearance was frightening.
“王啊! 你正在观看, 看见有一座大像, 那像甚高, 非常光耀, 竖立在你面前, 样貌十分可怕.

2:32 The head of this statue was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
这像的头是纯金的, 胸膛和手臂是银的, 腹和腰是铜的,

2:33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron and part of them of clay.
腿是铁的, 脚是铁和泥混杂的.

2:34 You were looking on until a stone was chiseled out—that not by hands—and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and it broke them in pieces.
你正观看的时候, 有一块非人手凿成的石头, 击在那座大像铁和泥混杂的脚上, 把脚砸碎了.

2:35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold all at once broke into pieces and they became like chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away and any trace of them could not be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and it filled the whole earth.
于是铁,泥,铜,银,金都一同砸得粉碎, 好像夏天禾场上的糠秕, 被风吹散, 无处可寻; 那打碎这像的石头却变成一座大山, 充满全地.

2:36 “This was the dream, and now we will tell its interpretation to the king.
“这就是那梦, 现在我们要在王面前讲解那梦的意思.

2:37 You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power and the might and the glory,
王啊! 你是万王之王, 天上的神已经把国度,权柄,能力和尊荣都赐给你;

2:38 and also human beings wherever they dwell, the animals of the field and the birds of heaven—he has given into your hand and made you ruler over all of them—you are the head of gold.
也把散居在各处的世人,田野的走兽和空中的飞鸟, 都交在你手里, 使你管理这一切. 你就是那金头.

2:39 And after you another kingdom inferior to yours will arise, and another third kingdom of bronze that will rule over the whole earth.
在你以后, 另一国将兴起, 不及于你. 后有第三国, 就是那铜的, 要统治全地.

2:40 And a fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, and just as iron crushes and smashes everything, and as iron shatters all of these other metals, so it will crush and it will shatter these nations.
还有第四国, 坚强如铁, 因为铁能砸碎击破万物; 铁怎样压碎一切, 那国也要照样砸碎一切.

2:41 And just as you saw the feet and the toes, partly potter’s clay and partly iron, it will be a divided kingdom; and some hardness of the iron will be in it, just as you have seen the iron mixed with the wet clay.
正如你看见那像的脚和脚趾是窑匠的泥和铁混杂的, 那国也必分裂; 正如你看见铁和陶泥混合在一起, 那国也必有铁的坚硬.

2:42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so part of the kingdom will be strong and partly brittle.
那些脚趾是铁和泥混杂的, 那国也必是部分坚强, 部分脆弱.

2:43 And in that you saw the iron was mixed with wet clay, so they will mix in marriage and they will not cling to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
你怎样看见铁和陶泥混合在一起, 那国的人也必和列国的人通婚混杂, 却不能彼此联合, 正如铁和泥不能混杂一样.

2:44 And in the day of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and the kingdom will not be left for another nation, and it will bring an end to all these kingdoms, but it will stand forever.
那些王在位的时候, 天上的神必兴起另一个永不灭亡的国, 国权必不归给别族的人. 这国必砸碎毁灭其他各国; 并且这国必存到永远.

2:45 Inasmuch as you saw that a stone from the mountain was chiseled out but not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, thereby the great God made known to the king what will be in the future, and the dream is certain and its explanation trustworthy.”
正如你看见那块从山而出, 非人手凿成的石头, 把铁,铜,泥,银和金都砸碎了, 伟大的神已把日后必有的结局都告诉王了. 这梦是确实的, 梦的意思也是准确的. ”

2:46 Then the king, Nebuchadnezzar, fell on his face and he paid homage to Daniel; and he commanded them to offer a grain offering and incense offering to him.
尼布甲尼撒王俯伏在地, 向但以理下拜, 又下令向但以理献上供物和香品.

2:47 The king answered Daniel and said, “Truly your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings, and he reveals mysteries, for you are able to reveal this mystery.”
王对但以理说: “你们的神真是万神之神, 万王之王, 又是显明隐秘事的, 因为你能把这隐秘的事显明出来. ”

2:48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and the chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.
于是王提升但以理, 赐他许多贵重的礼物, 使他管理巴比伦全省, 又立他为总长, 管理巴比伦所有的智慧人.

2:49 And Daniel made a request from the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the court of the king.
但以理求王, 王就委派沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌管理巴比伦省的政务; 但以理却在朝中侍立.

Daniel - Chapter 3

3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made a statue of gold. Its height was sixty cubits and its width was six cubits; he set it up in the valley of Dura in the province of Babylon.
尼布甲尼撒王造了一座金像, 高二十七公尺, 宽三公尺, 竖立在巴比伦省的杜拉平原上.

3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent directions to assemble the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all of the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
尼布甲尼撒王派人召集总督,总监,省长,参谋,财政大臣,法官,裁判官和各省所有的官员, 要他们参加尼布甲尼撒王为所立的像举行的揭幕典礼.

3:3 Then the satraps, the prefects, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the province were assembled for the dedication of the statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up, and were standing before the statue that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
于是总督,总监,省长,参谋,财政大臣,法官,裁判官和省内所有其他的官员, 都聚集起来, 参加尼布甲尼撒王为所立的像举行的揭幕典礼; 他们都站在尼布甲尼撒所立的像前.

3:4 Then the herald proclaimed aloud, “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations and people of all languages,
那时, 传令官大声呼叫说: “各国,各族,说各种语言的人哪! 这是传给你们的命令:

3:5 that at the time that you hear the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp, the drum and all kinds of music, you must fall down and you must worship the statue of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
你们一听见角,笛,琵琶,弦琴,竖琴,风笛和各种乐器的声音, 就要俯伏, 向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜.

3:6 And whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown immediately into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire.”
凡不俯伏下拜的, 就必立刻扔在烈火的窑中. ”

3:7 Therefore, at that time, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations and people of all languages were falling down and were worshiping the statue of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
因此, 各国,各族和说各种语言的人, 一听见角,笛,琵琶,弦琴,竖琴和各种乐器的声音, 就都俯伏, 向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜.

3:8 Therefore at this time some astrologers came forward and they denounced the Jews.
那时, 有几个迦勒底人前来, 诬蔑控告犹大人.

3:9 They responded and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, may you live forever!
他们对尼布甲尼撒王说: “愿王万岁!

3:10 You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp and the drum and all kinds of music, he shall fall down and shall worship the statue of gold.
王啊, 你曾下令, 凡听见角,笛,琵琶,弦琴,竖琴,风笛和各种乐器声音的人, 都要俯伏, 向金像下拜.

3:11 And whoever does not fall down and worship shall be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire.
凡不俯伏下拜的, 就必被扔在烈火的窑中.

3:12 However there are Judean men whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—these men, O king, pay you no heed and were not serving your god, and the statue of gold that you set up they are not worshiping.”
但有几个犹大人, 就是王所派管理巴比伦省政务的沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌, 王啊! 这些人不理会你的命令, 不事奉你的神, 也不向你所立的金像下拜. ”

3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar said in rage and anger to bring in Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; then they brought in these men before the king.
当时尼布甲尼撒勃然大怒, 吩咐人把沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌带来; 他们就被带到王面前.

3:14 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you are not serving my god, and you are not worshiping the statue of gold that I have set up?
尼布甲尼撒问他们说: “沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌啊! 你们真的不事奉我的神, 也不向我所立的金像下拜吗?

3:15 Now if you are ready so that when you hear the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp and the drum and all kinds of music, you fall down and you worship the statue that I have made, that will be good. But if you do not worship it, immediately you will be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire, and who is the god who will rescue you from my hands?”
现在, 如果你们想清楚, 一听见角,笛,琵琶,弦琴,竖琴,风笛和各种乐器的声音, 就俯伏向我所做的像下拜, 那还可以. 如果你们不下拜, 就必立刻扔在烈火的窑中. 哪里有神能救你们脱离我的手呢? ”

3:16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king, Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need on this matter to present a defense to you.
沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌回答王说: “尼布甲尼撒啊! 这件事我们无需回答你.

3:17 If it is so, our God, whom we serve, is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire. And from your hand, O king, let him rescue us.
如果我们被扔在火窑里, 我们所事奉的神必能拯救我们; 王啊! 他必拯救我们脱离烈火的窑和你的手.

3:18 And if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, and the statue of gold that you have set up we will not worship.”
即或不然, 王啊! 你要知道, 我们决不事奉你的神, 也不向你所立的金像下拜. ”

3:19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with anger and the image of his face was changed toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, so he ordered and said to heat up the one furnace seven times what was usual to heat it up.
当时尼布甲尼撒向沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌大发烈怒, 连脸色也变了, 吩咐人把窑烧热, 比平常猛烈七倍.

3:20 And he commanded the strongest men of the guards who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire.
又吩咐他军队中几个最精壮的士兵, 把沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌绑起来, 扔在烈火的窑中.

3:21 Then these men were bound with their garments, their trousers and their turbans and their other clothing, and they were thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire.
于是这三个人穿着外袍,长裤,头巾和身上其他的衣服, 被绑起来, 扔在烈火的窑中.

3:22 Therefore because the word of the king was severe and the furnace was exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed these men who lifted up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
由于王的命令紧急, 窑又烧得非常猛烈, 那些把沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌抬起来的人, 都被火焰烧死了.

3:23 But these men, the three of them, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, fell down into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire, and they were bound.
而沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌这三个人仍被绑着, 落入烈火的窑中.

3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and he rose up in haste and he asked, saying to his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, bound, into the midst of the fire? They answered, saying to the king, “Certainly, O king!”
那时尼布甲尼撒王非常惊奇, 急忙起来, 问他的谋臣说: “我们绑起来扔在火里的, 不是三个人吗? ”他们回答王说: “王啊! 是的. ”

3:25 He answered, saying, “Look, I see four men unbound walking in the midst of the fire and there is no damage to them, and the appearance of the fourth man resembles the son of a god.”
王说: “但我见有四个人, 并没有绑着, 在火中走来走去, 也没有受伤, 并且那第四个的样貌好像神子. ”

3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the furnace of blazing fire, and he called out, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out and come here!”
于是尼布甲尼撒走近烈火的窑口, 说: “至高神的仆人沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌啊! 你们出来, 到这里来吧. ”沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌就从火中出来.

3:27 And the satraps, the prefects, the governors and the advisors of the king were assembling, and they saw these men, that the fire had no power over their bodies, and the hair of their heads was not singed, and their garments were not harmed, and the smell of fire did not come from them.
那些总督,总监,省长和王的谋臣, 都聚拢来看这三个人, 见火无力伤他们的身体; 他们的头发没有烧焦, 衣服没有烧坏, 身上也没有火烧的气味.

3:28 Nebuchadnezzar responded, saying, “Blessed be their God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who sent his angel and rescued his servants who trusted in him, and the command of the king they disobeyed, and they gave their bodies so that they did not serve and did not worship any god except their God.
尼布甲尼撒说: “沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌的神是应当称颂的, 他差遣使者拯救那些倚靠他的仆人; 他们违抗王的命令, 宁愿舍命, 除了自己的神以外, 不肯事奉敬拜任何其他的神.

3:29 And from me is set forth a decree that any people, nation, or language that may utter criticism against their God—the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—will be broken into pieces and their house will be made like ruins. For there is not another God who is able to rescue like this God.”
我现在下令: 无论各国,各族,说各种语言的人, 凡说话得罪沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌的神的, 必被碎尸万段, 他的家也必成为废墟, 因为没有别的神能这样施行拯救. ”

3:30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
于是王在巴比伦省提升了沙得拉,米煞和亚伯尼歌.

Daniel - Chapter 4

4:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king to all of the nations, the peoples and languages that live in the whole earth: “May your prosperity increase!
尼布甲尼撒王向住在全地的各国,各族和说各种语言的人宣告说: “愿你们大享平安!

4:2 It is pleasing to me to recount the signs and wonders that the Most High God worked for me.
我乐意把至高的神向我所行的神迹奇事宣扬出来.

4:3 How great are his signs and wonders, how strong is his kingdom, an everlasting kingdom; and his sovereignty is from generation to generation.
他的神迹多么伟大, 他的奇事多么有力; 他的国是永远的国, 他的统治直到万代!

4:4 “I, Nebuchadnezzar, was content in my house and prospering in my palace.
“我尼布甲尼撒安逸地住在家中, 在宫里享受荣华富贵.

4:5 And I saw a dream and a revelation on my bed and it frightened me, and the visions of my head terrified me.
我作了一个梦, 这梦使我惧怕; 我在床上所见的梦幻和我脑海中出现的异象, 都使我惊惶.

4:6 And a decree was sent out, ordering that all the wise men of Babylon were to be brought in before me so that they may make known to me the explanation of the dream.
我就下令把巴比伦所有的智慧人, 都带到我面前来, 要他们把梦的意思向我说明.

4:7 Then the magicians, the conjurers, the astrologers and the diviners came in and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its explanation.
于是术士,用法术的,迦勒底人和占星家都进来; 我当面把那梦告诉了他们, 可是他们却不能把梦的意思向我说明.

4:8 Then at last Daniel came before me whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom was the spirit of the holy gods, and I related the dream to him.
“最后, 那照着我神的名, 称为伯提沙撒的但以理, 来到我面前, 他里面有圣神的灵, 我就把梦告诉他:

4:9 “ ‘O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I myself know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too difficult for you. Now tell me the visions of my dream that I saw, and its explanation.
‘术士的领袖伯提沙撒啊! 因为我知道你里面有圣神的灵, 没有什么隐秘的事能难倒你; 因此, 你要把我梦中所见的异象和梦的意思告诉我.

4:10 Now these were the visions of my head as I was lying on my bed: I was gazing and, look, a tree was in the midst of the earth, and its height was exalted.
我躺在床上时脑海中所见的异象是这样: 我看见大地中间, 有一棵树, 十分高大.

4:11 The tree grew and it became strong, and its height reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.
那树渐长, 而且坚强, 高达于天, 地极所有的人都看得到.

4:12 Its foliage was beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was provision for all. Under it the animals of the field sought shade, and in its branches the birds of heaven nested, and from it all the living beings were fed.
它的叶子美丽, 果实繁多, 所有的生物都从它得到食物; 野地的走兽在它下面歇息, 空中的飞鸟栖宿在它的枝头上; 各种生物都从它得着供养.

4:13 “ ‘I was looking in the vision of my head as I lay on my bed, and look, a watcher, and a holy one, came down from heaven.
“‘我躺在床上, 在我脑海出现的异象中, 我看见有一位守望者, 就是圣者, 从天上下来,

4:14 He cried aloud and so he said: “Cut down the tree and chop off its branches; shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.
大声呼叫, 这样说: 你们要砍下这树, 削断枝子, 摇落叶子, 打散果子, 把树下的走兽赶散, 把树枝上的飞鸟赶走.

4:15 But the stump of its roots leave in the earth, along with a band of iron and bronze; leave it in the grass of the field. And in the dew of heaven let it be watered, and with the animals let his lot be in the grass of the earth.
然而, 树根的余干却要留在地上, 用铁和铜的链子围住, 留在野地的青草中, 使他被天露滴湿; 使他像走兽一样在地上的草丛中得他的分.

4:16 Let his mind be changed from that of a human, and let the mind of an animal be given to him, and let seven times pass over him.
使他的心改变, 不再是人的心, 给他一个兽心, 使他经过七年的时期.

4:17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the command of the holy ones, in order that the living will know that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and to whomever he wills he gives it, and he even sets the humblest of men over it.”
这是守望者宣告的裁决, 是圣者颁布的决定, 好使世人都知道: 至高者在世人的国中掌权, 他喜欢把国赐给谁, 就赐给谁, 甚至立最卑微的人执掌国权.

4:18 “ ‘This is the dream that I, Nebuchadnezzar the king, saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its explanation, for all of the wise men of my kingdom were not able to make the explanation known to me, but you are able because the spirit of holy gods is in you.’
“‘这就是我尼布甲尼撒王所作的梦. 伯提沙撒啊! 你要把这梦的意思告诉我, 因为我国中所有的智慧人都不能把梦的意思向我说明; 只有你能, 因为你里面有圣神的灵. ’”

4:19 “Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was distressed for some time, and his thoughts disturbed him. The king answered and he said, ‘Belteshazzar, let the dream and its explanation not disturb you.’ Belteshazzar answered and said, ‘My lord, may the dream and its explanation be for those who hate you and for your enemies.
于是那称为伯提沙撒的但以理惊愕片时, 他想到的事使他惊惶. 王对他说: “伯提沙撒啊! 别让这梦和梦的意思使你惊惶. ”伯提沙撒回答说: “我主啊! 愿这梦归给憎恨你的人, 梦的意思归给你的敌人.

4:20 The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong and its height reached to heaven and it was visible to the end of the whole earth,
你所见的树渐长, 而且坚强, 高达于天, 全地的人都看得到.

4:21 and its foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, and so there was provision for all in it, and the animals of the field lived under it and in its branches nest the birds of heaven,
它的叶子美丽, 果实繁多, 所有的生物都从它得到食物; 野地的走兽住在它下面, 空中的飞鸟栖在它的枝头上.

4:22 —it is you, O king, who have grown great and you have grown strong, and so your greatness has increased and it has reached to heaven and your sovereignty to the end of the earth.
王啊! 你就是那树, 越来越伟大坚强; 你的威势渐长, 高达于天; 你的权柄直到地极.

4:23 And inasmuch that the king saw the watcher, a holy one coming down from heaven and he said, “Cut down the tree and destroy it, but the stump of its root in the earth leave with a band of iron and bronze in the grass of the field, and let it be watered with the dew of heaven and let his lot be with the animals of the field until seven times have passed over him.”
王既然看见一位守望者, 就是圣者, 从天上下来, 说: ‘你们要砍下毁坏这树, 树根的余干却要留在地上, 用铁和铜的链子围住, 留在野地的青草中, 使他被天露滴湿; 使他的分和野地的走兽一样, 直到他经过那七年的时期. ’

4:24 This is the explanation, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High that has come upon my lord the king:
王啊! 梦的意思就是这样: 这临到我主我王的事, 是至高者的裁决.

4:25 you will be driven away from human society and you will dwell with the animals of the field, and you will be caused to graze grass like the oxen yourself, and you will be watered with the dew of heaven, and seven periods of time will pass over you until that you have acknowledged that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and to whom he wills he gives it.
你必被赶逐, 离开人群, 和野地的走兽同住; 你必像牛一样吃草, 被天露滴湿, 要经过七年的时期; 等到你承认至高者在世人的国中掌权, 他喜欢把国赐给谁, 就赐给谁.

4:26 And in that they said to leave alone the stump of the tree’s root, so your kingdom will be restored for you when you acknowledge that heaven is sovereign.
守望者既然吩咐要留下树根的余干, 所以, 等到你承认上天的至高者是掌权的, 你的国就必再归给你.

4:27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you and your sin remove with righteousness and your iniquity with having mercy on the oppressed, in case there might be a prolongation of your prosperity.’ ”
因此, 王啊! 请你接纳我的劝告, 施行公义, 断绝罪过, 怜悯受欺压者, 断绝罪孽, 你的平安或者可以延长. ”

4:28 All this happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king.
这一切事都在尼布甲尼撒王身上实现了.

4:29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon.
过了十二个月, 王在巴比伦王宫的平顶上散步的时候,

4:30 And the king answered and said, “Is this not the great Babylon which I have built as a royal palace by the strength of my own power, and for the glory of my own majesty?”
他说: “这大巴比伦城不是我用大能大力建造作我的京都, 为显我威严的荣耀吗? ”

4:31 While the words were still in the mouth of the king, a voice from heaven came, saying, ‘To you, King Nebuchadnezzar, it is declared that the kingdom has departed from you,
这话在王的口中还没有说完, 就有声音从天上传下来, 说: “尼布甲尼撒王啊! 你的王权被褫夺了.

4:32 and you will be driven away from human society and your dwelling will be with the animals of the field and they will cause you to graze the grass like oxen, and seven times will pass over you, until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind and that he gives it to whom he wills.’
你必被赶逐, 离开人群, 和野地的走兽同住; 你必像牛一样吃草, 要经过七年的时期; 等到你承认至高者在世人的国中掌权, 他喜欢把国赐给谁, 就赐给谁. ”

4:33 Immediately the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar, and he was expelled from human society and he ate grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven until his hair was like the hair of an eagle and his nails grew like a bird’s claws.
这话立刻就应验在尼布甲尼撒身上; 他被赶逐, 离开人群, 像牛一样吃草, 身体被天露滴湿, 直到他的头发长得像鹰毛, 指甲像鸟爪.

4:34 “But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and then my reason returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and the one who lives forever I praised and I honored. “For his sovereignty is an everlasting sovereignty, and his kingdom continues from generation to generation.
“七年的日子满了, 我尼布甲尼撒举目望天, 我的理智恢复过来, 我就称颂至高者, 赞美尊崇活到永远的神. 他的统治永无穷尽, 他的国度直到万代.

4:35 And all the dwellers of the earth are regarded as nothing, and he does according to his desire in the host of heaven and among the dwellers of earth, and there is not one who can hold back his hand, or ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
地上所有的居民, 在他来说都是虚无; 在天上的万军中, 他凭自己的意旨行事; 在地上的居民中, 也是这样; 没有人能拦住他的手, 或问他说: ‘你作什么? ’

4:36 “At that time my reason returned to me, and also the glory of my kingdom and my majesty and splendor returned to me, and my advisers and my lords searched me out, and I was established over my kingdom and abundant greatness was added to me.
“那时, 我的理智恢复过来后, 为着我国的光荣, 我的威严和光辉也都恢复过来了. 我的谋臣和官员仍来求见我, 我的王权重新坚立, 我的权势越发增加.

4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor the king of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice and that he is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
现在我尼布甲尼撒赞美,尊崇,荣耀天上的王, 因为他所作的一切都正确, 他所行的也都公平; 行为骄傲的, 他都能贬低. ”

Daniel - Chapter 5

5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great festival for a thousand of his lords, and in the presence of the thousand lords he was drinking wine.
伯沙撒王为他的一千大臣大摆筵席, 他和他们一同喝酒.

5:2 When he tasted the wine, Belshazzar commanded that they bring the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his predecessor had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines may drink from them.
伯沙撒喝酒欢畅的时候, 下令把他先祖尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷圣殿里掠取的金银器皿拿来, 好让他和他的大臣,妻妾,妃嫔用这些器皿来喝酒.

5:3 Then they brought in the vessels of gold that they took from the temple, the house of God that was in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines drank from them.
于是人把从耶路撒冷圣殿里, 就是神的殿里, 掠来的金银器皿拿来; 王和他的大臣,妻妾,妃嫔就用这些器皿来喝酒.

5:4 They drank the wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.
他们喝酒, 赞美那些用金,银,铜,铁,木,石所做的神.

5:5 Immediately human fingers appeared and they wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king, and the king was watching the palm of the hand that was writing.
当时, 忽然有人手的指头出现, 在王宫里灯台对面的粉墙上写字; 王看见了那只正在写字的手掌,

5:6 Then his face changed and his thoughts terrified him, and his hip joints gave way and his knees knocked together.
就脸色大变, 心意惊惶, 两脚无力, 双膝彼此相碰.

5:7 The king cried aloud to bring in the conjurers, the astrologers and the diviners; the king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Any man that can read this writing and can tell me its explanation will be clothed in purple and will have a necklace of gold hung around his neck and he will rule as third in authority in the kingdom.”
王大声呼叫, 吩咐人把那些用法术的和迦勒底人, 以及占星家都领进来; 王对巴比伦的智慧人说: “谁能读这文字, 又能向我解释它的意思, 他必身穿紫袍, 颈戴金链, 在国中掌权, 位列第三. ”

5:8 Then all the wise men of the king came in, but they were not able to read the writing or to make known its explanation.
于是王所有的智慧人都进来, 却不能读那文字, 也不能把意思向王说明.

5:9 Then the king, Belshazzar, became greatly terrified, and his facial features changed upon him, and his lords were perplexed.
伯沙撒王就非常惊惶, 脸色大变; 他的大臣也都不知所措.

5:10 Because of the words of the king and his lords, the queen came into the banqueting hall and the queen spoke up and said, “O king, live forever, and let not your thoughts terrify you and do not let your facial expressions grow pale.
太后因王和他的大臣所说的话, 就进入宴会的大厅, 对王说: “愿王万岁! 你的心意不要惊惶, 也不要脸色大变.

5:11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. And in the days of your predecessor, enlightenment and insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and, O king, Nebuchadnezzar your predecessor appointed him as chief of the magicians, the conjurers, the astrologers, and the diviners. Your predecessor the king did this
在你国中有一个人, 他里面有圣神的灵; 你先祖在世的日子, 发现这人有灼见, 有聪明, 有智慧, 好像神的智慧一样. 你先祖尼布甲尼撒王, 就是王的先祖, 曾立他为术士,用法术的, 以及迦勒底人和占星家的领袖.

5:12 because there was found in him an excellent spirit and understanding and insight for interpreting dreams and explaining riddles and solving riddles; that is, in Daniel whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now, let Daniel be called and he will tell the explanation.”
这都因为在这但以理里面有美好的灵性, 有知识, 有聪明, 能解梦, 释谜语, 能解答难题; 这人尼布甲尼撒王曾给他起名叫伯提沙撒. 现在可以把但以理召来, 他必能解释墙上文字的意思. ”

5:13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king, and the king spoke and said to Daniel, “You are Daniel who are one of the exiles of Judah whom my predecessor, the king, brought from Judah.
于是但以理被带到王面前, 王问但以理说: “你就是我先王从犹大掳来的犹大人但以理吗?

5:14 And I have heard that a spirit of the gods is in you and enlightenment and insight and excellent wisdom was found in you.
我听说你里面有神的灵, 有灼见, 有聪明, 有高超的智慧.

5:15 And now the wise men and the conjurers were brought in before me so that they could read this writing in order to make its explanation known to me, but they were not able to disclose the explanation of the matter.
现在智慧人和用法术的都被带到我面前了, 我要他们读这文字, 把文字的意思向我说明, 可是他们都不能解释这文字的意思.

5:16 But I have heard concerning you that you are able to produce interpretations and to solve riddles; now if you are able to read the writing and to make known its explanation to me, you will be clothed in purple and a necklace of gold will be placed around your neck and you will rule as third in command in the kingdom.”
我听说你能解释异梦, 也能解答难题. 现在你若能读这文字, 把它的意思向我说明, 就必身穿紫袍, 颈戴金链, 在国中掌权, 位列第三. ”

5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself or your rewards give to another; nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king and I will make known to him the explanation.
但以理在王面前回答说: “你的礼物可以归你自己, 你的赏赐可以归给别人; 我却要为王读这文字, 也要把意思向王说明.

5:18 O king, the Most High God gave the kingdom and the greatness and the glory and the majesty to Nebuchadnezzar your predecessor.
王啊! 至高的神曾把国位,权势,光荣和威严赐给你先祖尼布甲尼撒.

5:19 And because of the greatness that he gave to him, all the peoples, the nations and languages trembled and feared before him; whomever he wanted he killed, and whomever he wanted he let live, and whomever he wanted he honored, and whomever he wanted he humbled.
因神所赐给他的权势, 各国,各族和说各种语言的人, 都在他面前战兢恐惧; 他要杀谁, 就杀谁; 要谁活着, 谁就可以活着; 要提升谁, 就提升谁; 要贬低谁, 就贬低谁.

5:20 But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit became hard so as to act proudly, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom and the glory was taken away from him.
但他心高气傲,妄自尊大的时候, 就从国位上被赶下来, 他的尊荣也被夺去.

5:21 And he was driven away from human society and his mind was made like the animals and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and he was given grass like oxen to eat, and with the dew of heaven his body was bathed, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and whoever he wants he sets over it.
他被赶逐, 离开人群, 他的心变如兽心, 他和野驴同住, 像牛一样吃草, 身体被天露滴湿; 等到他承认至高的神在世人的国中掌权, 他喜欢谁, 就立谁执掌国权.

5:22 “But you his successor, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart even though you knew all this.
伯沙撒啊! 你是他的子孙, 你虽然知道这一切, 你的心仍不谦卑,

5:23 And now you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven, and the vessels of his temple you have brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have been drinking wine from them, and you have praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone that do not see and do not hear and do not know, but the God who holds your life in his hand and all of your ways come from him, you have not honored.
竟高抬自己, 敌对天上的主, 使人把他殿中的器皿拿到你面前来, 你和你的大臣,妻妾,妃嫔用这些器皿喝酒; 你又赞美那些不能看见,不能听见,什么都不能知道, 用金,银,铜,铁,木,石所做的神, 却没有把荣耀归给那手中有你的气息, 和那掌管你一切命途的神.

5:24 So then the palm of the hand was sent out from his presence and this writing was inscribed.
因此, 有手从神那里伸出来, 写了这文字.

5:25 “Now this was the writing that was inscribed: ‘Mene, Mene, Tekel and Parsin.’
“所写的文字是: ‘弥尼, 弥尼, 提客勒, 乌法珥新. ’

5:26 “This is the explanation of the matter: ‘Mene’—God has numbered your kingdom and brought an end to it.
这文字的意思是这样: ‘弥尼’就是神已数算了你国度的年日, 使国终止;

5:27 “ ‘Tekel’—you have been weighed on scales and you have been found wanting.
‘提客勒’就是你被称在天平上, 显出你的缺欠;

5:28 “ ‘Peres’—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.’ ”
‘毗勒斯’(“毗勒斯”即“乌法珥新”的单数式)就是你的国要分裂, 归给玛代人和波斯人. ”

5:29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple and placed a necklace of gold around his neck, and they made a proclamation concerning him that he would be the third ruler in authority in the kingdom.
于是伯沙撒下令, 人就把紫袍给但以理穿上, 把金链戴在他的颈上, 又宣告他在国中掌权, 位列第三.

5:30 That same night Belshazzar, the Chaldean king, was killed.
当夜, 迦勒底人的王伯沙撒被杀.

5:31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom when he was about sixty-two years old.
玛代人大利乌夺取了迦勒底国; 那时他六十二岁.

Daniel - Chapter 6

6:1 It pleased Darius, and he set up one hundred and twenty satraps over the kingdom, that they were throughout the whole kingdom,
大利乌按自己的心意, 立了一百二十个总督, 治理全国;

6:2 and over them were three administrators, of whom Daniel was one, so that these satraps were giving account to them, and the king would not be suffering loss.
他又在这些总督之上, 设立三位监察司(但以理是其中之一), 监管总督的工作, 免得王受亏损.

6:3 Then Daniel began distinguishing himself above the administrators and the satraps because an exceptional spirit was in him, and so the king planned to appoint him over the whole kingdom.
因为但以理里面有美好的灵性, 所以各方面都比其他的监察司和总督优胜; 王有意立他治理全国.

6:4 Then the other administrators and satraps began to seek to find a pretext against Daniel in connection with the kingdom, but they were not able to find any pretext and corruption because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption could be found in him.
于是这些监察司和总督在但以理治国的事上, 寻找把柄控告他, 只是不能找到任何的把柄和过失, 因为他忠心可靠, 他们找不到他的任何错误和过失.

6:5 Then these men said, “We will not find any pretext against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.”
那些人就说: “如果我们要控告这但以理, 就只有在他神的律法中去找把柄. ”

6:6 So the administrators and the satraps conspired with respect to the king and so they said to him, “Darius, O king, live forever!
这些监察司和总督就相约前来见王, 对他说: “愿大利乌王万岁!

6:7 All of the administrators of the kingdom, and the prefects, the satraps, the counselors and the governors took counsel and have agreed to establish an edict of the king and to enforce a decree that whoever will seek a prayer from any god or human except from you for up to thirty days will be thrown into the lion pit.
国中所有的监察司,总监,总督,谋臣和省长, 一同商议, 请王立一条法例, 实施一道禁令: 无论何人, 在三十天内, 王啊! 除了向你以外, 若向任何神或任何人求什么, 就必扔在狮子坑中.

6:8 Now, O king, establish the edict and you must sign the document so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked.”
王啊! 现在求你立这禁令, 签署这份文告, 使禁令不能更改. 按照玛代和波斯的律法, 这样的禁令是不能废除的. ”

6:9 So the king, Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.
于是大利乌王签署了这禁令文告.

6:10 Now when Daniel realized that the document was signed, he went to his house (now he had windows in his upper room that were open toward Jerusalem), and three times daily he knelt on his knees and prayed and gave praise before his God, just as he had been doing previously.
但以理知道这文告签署了以后, 就上到自己家里楼顶上的房间, 这房间的窗户朝向耶路撒冷开着; 他一日三次双膝跪下, 在他的神面前祷告称谢, 像往日一样.

6:11 Then these men came as a group and they found Daniel praying and pleading for mercy before his God.
那些人相约前来, 看见但以理在他的神面前祈祷恳求.

6:12 Then they approached and spoke with the king concerning the edict of the king, “Did you not sign an edict that any person who would seek anything from any God or human within thirty days except from you, O king, would be thrown into the lion pit?” The king answered and said, “The matter as you have just stated is certain according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked.”
他们就来到王面前, 提起王的禁令, 说: “你岂不是签署了禁令, 无论何人, 在三十天内, 王啊! 除了向你以外, 若向任何神或任何人求什么, 就必扔在狮子坑中? ”王回答说: “确有此事. 按照玛代和波斯的律法, 这样的禁令是不能废除的. ”

6:13 Then they responded and said before the king, “Daniel, who is from the exiles of Judah, is not paying any attention to you, O king, or to the decree that you have signed, and three times daily he says his prayer.”
于是他们对王说: “王啊, 在被掳的犹大人中的但以理不理会你的命令, 也不理会你签署的禁令, 竟仍一日三次向他的神祈求. ”

6:14 Then the king, when he heard that report, he was extremely distressed over it; and concerning Daniel he was determined to rescue him. And until the setting of the sun he was making every effort to deliver him.
王听见了这话, 就非常愁烦; 他定意要搭救但以理, 直到日落的时候, 他还在设法营救但以理.

6:15 Then these men came as a group to the king and said, “Recall, O king, that with respect to the law of the Medes and Persians that any decree or edict that the king establishes cannot be changed.”
那些人就相约前来见王, 对他说: “王啊, 你该知道, 根据玛代和波斯的律法, 王所立的禁令和法例, 都是不能更改的. ”

6:16 Then the king gave the command, and Daniel was brought in and they threw him into the lion pit. The king said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you serve faithfully, may he rescue you!”
于是王下令, 人就把但以理带来, 扔在狮子坑中. 王对但以理说: “你常常事奉的神, 他必搭救你! ”

6:17 And a stone was brought and it was put on the entrance of the pit, and the king sealed it with his signet ring and with the signet rings of his lords, so that nothing would be changed concerning Daniel.
有人搬了一块石头, 放在坑口, 王又盖上自己的印鉴和众大臣的印鉴, 使惩办但以理的事不得更改.

6:18 Then the king went to his palace and spent the night in fasting, and no food was brought in before him and his sleep fled from him.
王回到宫里, 整夜没有吃东西, 也不要任何娱乐解闷, 并且睡不着觉.

6:19 Then the king got up at daybreak, at first light, and he went in haste to the lion pit.
次日黎明, 天一亮, 王就起来, 急忙到狮子坑那里去.

6:20 And when he came near to the pit, he cried out to Daniel with a distressed voice, and the king spoke and said to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God whom you serve faithfully, was he able to rescue you from the lions?”
他走近坑边的时候, 就用哀痛的声音呼叫但以理, 对但以理说: “永活神的仆人但以理啊! 你常常事奉的神能搭救你脱离狮子吗? ”

6:21 Then Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever!
但以理对王说: “愿王万岁!

6:22 My God sent his angel and he shut the mouth of the lions and they did not hurt me, because before him I was found blameless, and also before you, O king, I have not done any wrong.”
我的神差遣了他的使者, 封住狮子的口, 使它们没有伤害我, 因为我在神面前是清白的; 王啊! 在你面前我也没有作过任何错事. ”

6:23 Then the king was exceedingly glad over it and commanded that Daniel be lifted up from the pit; and there was not any wound found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
王就非常高兴, 吩咐人把但以理从坑里拉上来. 于是但以理从坑里被拉上来, 他身上一点损伤也没有, 因为他信靠他的神.

6:24 The king then commanded, and these men were brought who had accused Daniel, and they threw them and their children and their wives into the lion pit, and they had not reached the floor of the pit before the lions had overpowered them and they had crushed all of their bones.
王下令, 人就把那些诬蔑控告但以理的人, 连同他们的妻子和儿女都一起带来, 扔在狮子坑中; 他们还没有下到坑底, 狮子就抓住他们, 把他们所有的骨头都咬碎了.

6:25 Then Darius the king wrote to all the people, the nations, and the languages living in the whole earth, “May your prosperity become great!
后来大利乌王写信给住在全地的各国,各族和说各种语言的人, 说: “愿你们大享平安!

6:26 I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom people will be trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God and endures forever and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed and his dominion has no end.
现在我下令, 我所统治的全国人民都要在但以理的神面前战兢恐惧. ”他是永活的神, 他永远长存; 他的国度永不灭亡, 他的统治直到永远.

6:27 He is rescuing, delivering, and working signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth, for he has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
他搭救人, 拯救人; 他在天上地下施行神迹奇事; 他搭救了但以理脱离狮子的爪. ”

6:28 So this Daniel prospered during the kingdom of Darius and during the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.
于是这但以理在大利乌作王的时候, 和在波斯人古列作王的时候, 事事亨通.

Daniel - Chapter 7

7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar the king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay on his bed; then he wrote down the dream and the summary of the words as follows:
巴比伦王伯沙撒第一年, 但以理躺在床上时, 他作了一个梦, 脑海中出现了异象; 他就把那梦记录下来, 把事情的重点述说出来.

7:2 Daniel explained and said, “I was looking in my vision in the night, and look, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.
但以理说: “在夜间的异象中, 我看见天的四风, 搅动大海.

7:3 And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, differing from one another.
“有四只巨兽从海中上来, 形状各不相同.

7:4 The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I was watching until its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth and it was raised on its feet like a human, and a human heart was given to it.
第一只兽像狮子, 却有鹰的翅膀. 我一直在观看, 看见它的翅膀被拔去, 它从地上被举起来, 两脚像人一样直立在地上; 又有人的心给了它.

7:5 And look, another beast, a second one, looking like a bear. And it was raised up on one side and three tusks were in its mouth between its teeth, and so it was told, “Arise, eat much flesh!”
我又看见另一只兽, 就是第二只兽; 它和熊相似, 挺起一边的身躯, 口中的牙齿衔着三根肋骨. 有人这样对它说: ‘起来, 吃多量的肉吧! ’

7:6 After this I was watching and look, another beast like a leopard; it had four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
此后, 我继续观看, 看见另一只兽像豹, 背上有鸟的四个翅膀; 这兽有四个头, 又有权柄给了它.

7:7 After this in the visions of the night I was looking and there was a fourth beast, terrifying and frightful and exceedingly strong, and it had great iron teeth, and it was devouring and crushing, and it stamped the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the other beasts that preceded it and it had ten horns.
后来, 我在夜间的异象中继续观看, 看见有第四只兽, 非常恐怖, 十分可怕, 极其强壮. 它有大铁牙; 它吞吃咬碎, 又把剩余的用脚践踏; 这兽和前面的各兽都不相同; 它有十个角.

7:8 I was considering the horns, and look, another little horn came up among them, and three of the earlier horns were rooted out from before it, and there were eyes like the eyes of a human in this horn and also a mouth that was speaking boastfully.
我正在究察这些角的时候, 看见角的中间长出另一个小角来. 在这小角前面, 有三个先前的角连根被拔起来. 这小角有眼, 像人的眼, 又有一张说夸大话的嘴.

7:9 “I continued watching until thrones were placed and an Ancient of Days sat; his clothing was like white snow and the hair of his head was like pure wool and his throne was a flame of fire and its wheels were burning fire.
“我一直在观看, 看见有些宝座安放好了, 万古常存者就坐上去; 他的衣服洁白如雪, 他的头发纯净像羊毛. 他的宝座是火焰, 宝座的轮子是烈火.

7:10 A stream of fire issued forth and flowed from his presence; thousands upon thousands served him and ten thousand upon ten thousand stood before him. The judge sat, and the books were opened.
有火像河涌出, 烈火从他面前冒出; 事奉他的有千千, 侍立在他面前的有万万. 审判已经开始, 案卷都展开了.

7:11 “I continued watching then because of the noise of the boastful words of the horn who was speaking; I continued watching until the beast was slain and its body was destroyed, and it was given over to burning with fire.
“那时, 因那小角说夸大话的声音, 我继续观看, 看见那兽被杀, 尸体被毁, 扔在烈火中.

7:12 And as for the remainder of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but a prolongation of their life was given to them for a season and a time.
至于其余的三兽, 它们的权柄都被夺去, 它们的生命却得着延长, 直到所定的时候和日期.

7:13 “I continued watching in the visions of the night, and look, with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man was coming, and he came to the Ancient of Days, and was presented before him.
“我在夜间的异象中继续观看, 看见有一位像人子的, 驾着天云而来, 到万古常存者那里, 被引领到他面前,

7:14 And to him was given dominion and glory and kingship that all the peoples, the nations, and languages would serve him; his dominion is a dominion without end that will not cease, and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.
得了权柄,尊荣和国度; 各国,各族和说各种语言的人都事奉他. 他的权柄是永远的权柄, 是不能废去的; 他的国度是永不毁灭的.

7:15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified me.
“至于我但以理, 我的灵在我里面忧伤, 我脑海中出现的异象使我惊惶.

7:16 So I approached one of the attendants and I asked him about the truth concerning all this; and he told me that he would make known to me the explanation of the matter.
于是我走近其中一位侍立者, 问他有关这一切事的实情; 他就告诉我, 使我知道这些事的意思, 他说:

7:17 ‘These great beasts which are four in number are four kings who will arise from the earth.
‘这四只巨兽就是将要在世上兴起的四个王.

7:18 But the holy ones of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and they will take possession of the kingdom forever, forever and ever.’
但至高者的圣民必要得国, 拥有这国, 直到永永远远. ’

7:19 “Then I desired to make certain concerning the fourth beast that was different from all the others—exceedingly terrifying, with its iron teeth and its claws of bronze; it devoured and crushed and stamped the remainder with its feet—
那时我想知道有关第四只兽的实情, 它和其他三兽不相同, 十分恐怖, 有铁牙铜爪; 它吞吃咬碎, 又把剩余的用脚践踏.

7:20 and concerning the horns that were on its head, and concerning the other horn that came up and before which three horns fell, and this horn had eyes and a mouth speaking boastfully, and its appearance was larger than its companions.
我又想知道有关它头上的十角, 和那另长出来的小角, 以及那三个在这小角前面倒下的角的实情. 这小角有眼, 有说夸大话的嘴; 它的形状比它的同类更威猛.

7:21 I continued watching, and this horn made war with the holy ones and it prevailed over them,
我继续观看, 看见这小角和圣民争战, 战胜了他们,

7:22 until the Ancient of Days came and gave judgment to the holy ones of the Most High; and the time arrived and the holy ones took possession of the kingdom.
直到万古常存者来到, 为至高者的圣民伸张正义; 圣民拥有国度的时候就到了.

7:23 “And he said, ‘The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom that will be on the earth that will be different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth and it will trample it and it will crush it.
“那位侍立者这样说: ‘那第四只兽就是世上必有的第四国, 和其他各国都不相同; 它必吞吃全地, 践踏咬碎全地.

7:24 And as for the ten horns coming from it, from this kingdom ten kings will arise, and another will arise after them. And he will be different from the earlier ones, and he will subdue three kings.
至于那十角, 就是从这国中将要兴起的十个王, 在他们以后, 必有另一个王兴起, 和先前的王都不相同; 他必制伏三个王.

7:25 And he will speak words against the Most High, and he will wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and he will attempt to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time and two times and half a time.
他必说话, 敌挡至高者; 他必折磨至高者的圣民, 又想改变节期和律法; 圣民必交在他的手中, 一载,二载,半载(“一载,二载,半载”或译: “一个时期,多个时期,半个时期”).

7:26 Then the court will sit, and his dominion will be removed, to be eradicated and to be destroyed totally.
但审判要开始, 他的权柄必被夺去, 他必被毁坏灭绝, 直到永远.

7:27 And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the nation of the holy ones of the Most High; his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey him.’
那时, 国度,权柄, 和普天之下万国的大权, 都必赐给至高者的圣民. 他的国是永远的国; 所有掌权的都必事奉他, 顺从他. ’

7:28 This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel—my thoughts terrified me greatly and my face changed over me, but I kept the matter in my heart.”
这事到此完毕. 我但以理心中十分惊惶, 脸色也变了, 但我把这事存放在心里. ”

Daniel - Chapter 8

8:1 In the third year of the kingdom of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that appeared to me previously.
伯沙撒王在位第三年, 在先前显给我的异象之后, 再有一个异象向我但以理显现.

8:2 And I saw in the vision, and when I saw, I was in Susa, the citadel that was in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I myself was at the stream of Ulai.
我在异象中观看, 看见自己在以拦省书珊城堡里; 我在异象中继续观看, 看见自己在乌莱河的岸边.

8:3 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw, and look! A ram standing before the stream, and it had two horns, and the horns were long, but the one was longer than the second, and the longer one came up after the other one.
我举目观看, 看见一只公绵羊, 站在河边; 它有两个角, 两角都很高, 但高低不一; 那较高的角是较迟长出来的.

8:4 I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward, and none of the beasts stood before it, and there was no rescuing from its power, and it did what it wanted and it became strong.
我看见那公绵羊向西,向北,向南撞去, 没有走兽能在它面前站立得住, 也没有能拯救脱离它手的; 它任意而行, 狂妄自大.

8:5 And I was considering this, and look, a he-goat coming from the west across the face of the whole earth, and it was not touching the ground; and the he-goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.
我正在思考的时候, 忽然有一只公山羊从西而来, 走遍全地, 快得脚不沾尘; 这山羊两眼之间有一个显眼的角.

8:6 Then it came toward the ram that had the two horns that I saw standing before the stream, and it ran at it with the rage of its power.
它走到我先前所看见站在河边,那有两个角的公绵羊那里去, 忿怒地向公绵羊猛力冲去.

8:7 And I saw it approaching the ram and it was furious at it, and it struck the ram, and it broke its two horns, and there was not strength in the ram to stand before him, and he threw it down to the ground and trampled it, and there was no one who could rescue the ram from its power.
我看见公山羊走近公绵羊, 向它发怒, 撞击它, 折断它的两个角; 公绵羊在它面前站立不住, 它把公绵羊撞倒在地上, 又用脚践踏它, 没有能拯救公绵羊脱离它手的.

8:8 And the he-goat grew exceedingly great, and at the height of its power the great horn was broken, and four conspicuous horns came up in place of it toward the four winds of heaven.
这公山羊非常狂妄自大; 但在它强盛的时候, 那大角被折断了; 在大角原来的地方, 有四个显眼的角向天的四方长出来.

8:9 And from one of them came forth a horn, a little one, and it grew exceedingly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
从这四个角中的一个角, 又长出一个小角来, 这小角向南,向东和向荣美之地, 不断强大起来.

8:10 And it grew up to the host of heaven, and it threw down to the ground some of the host and some of the stars and trampled them.
它渐渐长大, 高及天象, 把一些天象和星星摔落在地上, 用脚践踏.

8:11 Even against the prince of the hosts it acted arrogantly and took away from him the regular burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.
它狂妄自大, 要高及天象之君; 它除掉献给天象之君的常献祭, 又拆毁他的圣所.

8:12 And on account of transgression, the host was given over to the horn in addition to the regular burnt offering. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it acted, and it had success.
因罪过的缘故, 圣民(“圣民”和 8:10,11的“天象”原文是同一个字)连同常献的祭都交给它; 它把真理丢在地上, 任意而行, 凡事顺利.

8:13 And I heard a certain holy one speaking, and a certain other holy one said to the specific one who was speaking, “For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, and the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and the host to trampling?”
我听见一位圣者在说话, 又有一位圣者问他: “这个关于除掉常献的祭, 和引致毁坏的罪过, 以及践踏圣所和圣民(“圣民”和 8:10,11的“天象”原文是同一个字)的异象, 要到几时呢? ”

8:14 And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be restored.”
他对我说: “要到二千三百个晚上和早晨, 圣所才得洁净. ”

8:15 And then when I, Daniel, saw the vision, and I was seeking understanding, there was one standing before me with the appearance of a man.
我但以理看见了这异象以后, 就想明白它的意义; 忽然有一位外貌像人的, 站在我面前.

8:16 And I heard the voice of a human at the Ulai, and he called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
我又听见从乌莱河两岸之间, 有人的声音呼叫着说: “加百列啊! 你要使这人明白这异象. ”

8:17 And he came beside where I was standing, and when he came I became terrified and I fell prostrate on my face. And he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”
他就来到我所站的地方; 他来到的时候, 我就害怕, 脸伏在地; 他对我说: “人子啊, 你要明白! 这异象是关于末后的时期的. ”

8:18 And when he spoke with me I fell into a trance with my face to the ground, and he touched me and made me stand on by feet.
他和我说话的时候, 我沉睡了, 脸伏在地; 他抚摩我, 使我两脚站起来.

8:19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what will happen in the period of wrath, for it refers to the appointed time of the end.
他说: “看哪! 我要告诉你在神忿怒审判的后期必要发生的事, 因为这是有关那末后的定期的.

8:20 “The ram that you saw who had two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.
你所看见那有两个角的公绵羊, 就是玛代和波斯王.

8:21 “And the hairy he-goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the great horn that is between his eyes—he is the first king.
那多毛的公山羊就是希腊王; 那两眼之间的大角就是第一个王.

8:22 And the horn that was broken, and then there arose four horns in place of it—these are four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, but not with his power.
至于代替那折断了的角, 在它原来的地方长出来的四个角, 就是四个要从他的国中兴起的王国, 只是没有他的权势.

8:23 And at the end of their kingdom, when the transgressions are completed, a king will arise, fierce in countenance and skilled in riddles.
“在这四国的后期, 犯罪的人恶贯满盈的时候, 必有一个面貌凶恶的王兴起, 他诡计多端.

8:24 And his power will grow, but not by his own power, and he will cause fearful destruction, and he will succeed and he will act, and he will destroy the mighty and the people of the holy ones.
他的权势强大, 却不是出于自己的能力; 他必造成惊人的毁灭; 他任意而行, 凡事顺利; 他必毁灭有强力的, 又毁灭圣民.

8:25 And by his planning he will make a success of deceit by his hand, and in his mind he will boast, and in their ease he will destroy many, and even against the prince of princes he will rise up, and he will be broken, but not by human hands.
他运用诡计, 行骗无往而不利; 他心里狂妄自大; 他必乘人不备的时候, 毁灭许多人; 他要起来攻击万君之君, 最后却非因人的手被毁灭.

8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning that has been described, it is true; and you, seal up the vision, for it refers to many days to come.”
关于所说二千三百个晚上和早晨的异象是真的, 但你要把这异象封住, 因为那是关于将来许多的年日的. ”

8:27 And I, Daniel, was overcome, and I became ill for some days, and I performed the business of the king, and I was dismayed over the vision and I did not understand it.
我但以理精疲力竭, 病了几天, 后来我起来, 办理王的事务, 但我仍因这异象惊骇不已, 不明白它的意思.

Daniel - Chapter 9

9:1 In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, from the offspring of the Medes, who became king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans—
玛代人亚哈随鲁的儿子大利乌被立为王, 统治迦勒底国的第一年,

9:2 in the first year of his kingship I, Daniel, observed in the scrolls the number of the years that it was that were to be fulfilled according to the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet for the devastation of Jerusalem—seventy years.
就是他作王的第一年, 我但以理从经书上留意到耶和华临到耶利米先知的话, 指出耶路撒冷荒废的年数必满七十年.

9:3 Then I turned my face to the Lord God to seek him by prayer and pleas for mercy, in fasting and in sackcloth and ashes.
于是我转向主神, 禁食, 披麻蒙灰, 借祈祷和恳求寻求他.

9:4 And I prayed to Yahweh my God, and I made confession and I said, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, keeping the covenant and loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments,
我向耶和华我的神祷告,认罪, 说: “主啊! 伟大可畏的神, 你向那些爱你, 遵守你诫命的人守约施慈爱.

9:5 we have sinned and we have done wrong and we acted wickedly and we rebelled and have been turning aside from your commandments and from your ordinances.
我们犯了罪, 行了不义, 作了恶, 背叛了你, 偏离了你的诫命典章;

9:6 We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors and to all the people of the land.
没有听从你的仆人众先知, 他们奉你的名向我们的君王,领袖,列祖和国中所有的人民说话.

9:7 “Righteousness belongs to you, O Lord, and on us is open shame, just as it is this day to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of their infidelity which they displayed against you.
主啊! 你是公义的; 我们满面羞愧, 正如今日的光景; 我们犹大人,耶路撒冷的居民, 和被你赶逐到远近各地的以色列众人, 都因对你不忠而满面羞愧.

9:8 Yahweh, on us is open shame, on our kings, on our princes, and on our ancestors, because we have sinned against you.
耶和华啊! 我们和我们的君王,领袖,列祖, 都满面羞愧, 因为我们得罪了你.

9:9 Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord, our God, for we have rebelled against him,
虽然我们背叛了主我们的神, 他仍是满有怜悯和饶恕.

9:10 and we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God, by following his law which he placed before us by the hand of his servants the prophets.
我们没有听从耶和华我们神的话, 没有遵行他借着他的仆人众先知向我们颁布的律法.

9:11 “And all Israel transgressed your law and turned aside so as not to listen to your voice, and so the curse and the oath which was written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, has been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him.
以色列众人都违背了你的律法, 偏离了你, 不听从你的话, 因此, 神的仆人摩西的律法书上所记载的咒诅和审判, 都倾倒在我们身上; 我们实在得罪了神.

9:12 And so he has carried out his words which he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring upon us a great calamity which was not done under all of heaven as it was done in Jerusalem.
他实现了他的预言, 按着他向我们和那些治理我们的官长所说过的话, 使大灾祸临到我们身上; 耶路撒冷所遇的灾祸是在普天之下从未发生过的.

9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, all of this calamity has come upon us, and we have not implored the face of Yahweh our God so as to turn from our iniquities and to attend closely to your faithfulness.
这一切灾祸是按着摩西的律法书上所记载的, 临到了我们身上, 但我们仍没有恳求耶和华我们的神施恩, 使我们离开罪孽, 明白你的真理.

9:14 So Yahweh has kept watch over the calamity, and now he has brought it upon us. Indeed, Yahweh our God is righteous concerning all his works that he has done, but we have not listened to his voice.
所以耶和华留意使这灾祸临到我们身上, 因为耶和华我们的神在他所行的一切事上都是公义的, 我们却没有听从他的话.

9:15 “And now, Lord our God, who have brought your people out from the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and you have made for yourself a name until this day—we have sinned, we have acted wickedly.
主我们的神啊! 你曾用强而有力的手把你的子民从埃及地领出来, 使你自己得了名, 好像今天一样. 现在, 我们犯了罪, 作了恶.

9:16 Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your rage turn away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain, because through our sins and through the iniquities of our ancestors Jerusalem and your people have become an object of mockery among all of our neighbors.
主啊! 求你按着你的一切公义, 使你的怒气和忿怒转离你的城耶路撒冷, 就是你的圣山; 因我们的罪和我们列祖的罪孽的缘故, 耶路撒冷和你的子民成了在我们四围的人羞辱的对象.

9:17 “And now, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy. Shine your face upon your desolate sanctuary for your sake, O Lord.
现在, 我们的神啊! 求你垂听你仆人的祷告和恳求; 主啊! 为了你自己的缘故, 使你的脸光照你这荒凉了的圣所.

9:18 Incline your ear, my God, and listen; open your eyes and look at our desolation and the city that is called by your name, for we are not presenting our pleas for mercy before you because of our righteousness, but rather because of your great compassion.
我的神啊! 求你侧耳而听, 睁眼垂顾我们的荒凉, 和那称为你名下的城; 因为我们向你恳求, 并不是因着自己的义, 而是因着你的大怜悯.

9:19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, pay heed and act! You must not delay for your sake, my God; because your city and your people are called by your name.”
主啊! 求你垂听. 主啊! 求你赦免. 主啊! 求你应允而行. 我的神啊! 为了你自己的缘故, 求你不要耽延. 因为你的城和你的子民都是称为你名下的. ”

9:20 Now I was still speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before Yahweh my God, on behalf of the holy mountain of my God.
我还在说话,祷告,承认我的罪和我同胞以色列人的罪, 为我神的圣山, 向耶和华我的神恳求的时候;

9:21 And I was still speaking in prayer, and the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, in my weariness touched me at the time of the evening offering.
我还在祷告说话的时候, 我先前在异象中所见的那位样貌像人的加百列, 约在献晚祭的时候, 快速地飞(“快速地飞”原文意思难确定, 或译: “在精疲力竭时”)到我面前来.

9:22 And he instructed me and he spoke with me and he said, “Daniel I have now come out to teach you understanding.
他向我解释, 说: “但以理啊! 现在我来, 要使你有智慧, 有聪明.

9:23 At the beginning of your pleas for mercy, a word went out, and now I have come to declare it, for you are highly esteemed, and so consider the word and understand the vision.
你开始恳求的时候, 就有命令发出. 因为你是大蒙眷爱的, 所以我来告诉你; 你要留意这信息, 明白这异象.

9:24 “Seventy weeks is decreed for your people and for your holy city, to put an end to the transgression and to seal up sin and to make atonement for guilt and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal vision and prophet and to anoint the most holy place.
“为你的同胞和你的圣城, 已经定了七十个七, 要结束过犯, 终止罪恶, 遮盖罪孽, 引进永义, 封住异象和预言, 并且膏抹至圣所(“至圣所”或译: “至圣者”).

9:25 And you must know and you must understand that from the time of the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem until an anointed one—a leader—will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be restored and will be built with streets and a moat, but in a time of oppression.
你要知道, 也要明白, 从发出命令恢复和重建耶路撒冷, 直到受膏君的时候, 必有七个七; 又有六十二个七(“必有七个七; 又有六十二个七”或译: “必有七个七和六十二个七”), 耶路撒冷连广场和濠沟, 都必重新建造起来; 那是一段困苦的时期.

9:26 “And after the sixty and two weeks an anointed one shall be cut off, and he shall have nothing, and the people of the coming leader will destroy the city and the sanctuary, and its end will be with the flood and on to the end there shall be war; these desolations are determined.
六十二个七以后, 受膏者必被剪除, 一无所有(“一无所有”或译: “不再存在”); 那将要来的领袖的人民必毁灭这城和圣所. 结局必像洪水而来; 必有争战直到末了; 荒凉的事已经定了.

9:27 And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week, but in half of the week he will let cease sacrifice and offering and in its place a desolating abomination comes even until the determined complete destruction is poured out on the desolator.”
一七之内, 他必和许多人坚立盟约; 一七之半, 他必使献祭和供物终止; 他必在殿里(“殿里”原文作“翼上”); 设立那使地荒凉的可憎的像(“可憎的像”原文是复数), 直到指定的结局倾倒在那造成荒凉的人身上. ”

Daniel - Chapter 10

10:1 In the third year of Cyrus the king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel, who was called by his name Belteshazzar, and the word was reliable and it concerned a great tribulation, and he understood the word and he received understanding.
波斯王古列第三年, 有一个信息启示给那称为伯提沙撒的但以理. 这信息是真的, 是关于一场大战争; 但以理明白这信息, 了解这异象.

10:2 In those days, I, Daniel, I myself was in mourning for three whole weeks.
那时, 我但以理悲伤了三个星期.

10:3 I had not eaten any choice food, and meat and wine did not enter my mouth, and I did not use any ointment until the end of three whole weeks.
美味的食物我没有吃, 肉和酒没有入我的口, 我也没有用膏油抹身, 整整三个星期.

10:4 And then on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I myself was on the bank of the great river; that is, the Tigris.
正月二十四日, 我在底格里斯大河边的时候,

10:5 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw, and there was a man, and he was dressed in linen, and his waist was girded with the gold of Uphaz.
我举目观看, 看见有一个人身穿细麻衣, 腰束乌法纯金的带.

10:6 Now his body was like turquoise, and his face was like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his legs were like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the sound of a multitude.
他的身像碧玉, 面貌像闪电的样子, 眼睛像火把, 手臂和腿像擦亮的铜那么闪耀, 说话的声音像群众喊叫的声音.

10:7 And I saw, I, Daniel alone, the vision; and the people who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great trembling fell upon them and they fled in order to hide themselves.
独有我但以理看见这异象, 那些和我在一起的人都没有看见, 不过他们却大大惊慌, 逃跑躲藏起来了.

10:8 And I myself, Daniel, alone saw this great vision, and as a result no strength was left in me and my complexion grew deathly pale, and I did not retain any strength.
因此, 只有我一人留下来; 我看见了这大异象, 就全身无力, 脸色大变, 一点力气都没有.

10:9 And I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words I myself began falling into a trance on my face, with my face to the ground.
我却仍听见他说话的声音; 我一听见他说话的声音, 就沉睡了, 脸伏在地.

10:10 And look, a hand touched me and it roused me to my knees and the palms of my hands.
忽然有一只手按在我身上, 使我用膝和手掌勉强支持着要站起来.

10:11 And he said to me, “Daniel, a man beloved, pay attention to the words that I am speaking to you and stand upright where you are, for I have now been sent to you.” And while he was speaking with me this word, I stood up trembling.
他对我说: “大蒙眷爱的但以理啊! 你应当留意我要对你说的话. 你只管站起来, 因为我现在奉差遣到你这里来. ”他和我说这话的时候, 我就战战兢兢地站起来.

10:12 And he said to me, “You must not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I myself have come because of your words.
他又对我说: “但以理啊! 不要惧怕, 因为自从你第一天决心要明白这些事, 又在你的神面前谦卑自己, 你祷告的话已蒙垂听了; 我就是因你祷告的话而来的.

10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood before me for twenty-one days. And look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to assist me, and I left him there beside the king of the Persians.
但波斯国的护卫天使拦阻我二十一天; 后来有护卫天使长中的一位米迦勒来帮助我, 我就留他在那里(“我就留他在那里”按照《马索拉抄本》应作“我就被留在那里”; 现参照《七十士译本》翻译), 和波斯众王在一起.

10:14 And I have come to instruct you about what will happen to your people in the future, for there is a further vision here for the future.
现在我来是要使你明白日后所要发生在你的同胞身上的事, 因为这异象是关于将来许多的年日的. ”

10:15 And while he was speaking with me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and I was speechless.
他和我说这些话的时候, 我就脸伏在地, 默默无声.

10:16 Then look, there was one in the form of a human; he touched my lips and I opened my mouth and I spoke and I said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision my anxieties fell upon me and I have not retained my strength.
忽然有一位像人的, 摸我的嘴唇, 我就开口和那站在我面前的交谈, 说: “我主啊! 因着这异象, 我非常痛苦, 毫无气力.

10:17 So how am I, a servant of my lord to speak with you, my lord, and I just now have no strength in me?”
我主的仆人怎能和我主说话呢? 我现在全身无力, 没有气息. ”

10:18 And he again touched me, the one in the form of a human, and he strengthened me.
那位像人的再摸我, 使我有力量.

10:19 And he said, “You must not fear, O beloved man. Peace be to you; be strong and be courageous!” And when he spoke with me, I was strengthened and I said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
他说: “大蒙眷爱的人哪! 不要惧怕, 愿你平安, 你要大大刚强. ”他和我说话的时候, 我就刚强起来; 于是我说: “我主请说, 因为你刚强了我. ”

10:20 Then he asked, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I return to fight against the prince of Persia and I myself am going, and look, the prince of Javan will come.
他说: “现在我要回去和波斯的护卫天使作战; 我一离去, 希腊的护卫天使就要来. 但你知道我为什么到你这里来吗?

10:21 However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth, and there is not one who contends with me against these beings except Michael, your prince.”
我来是要把那记录在真理书上的事告诉你. 除了你们的护卫天使米迦勒之外, 没有一个帮助我, 和我一起抵挡他们. ”

Daniel - Chapter 11

11:1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood as a support and as a protection for him.
“玛代人大利乌王第一年, 我曾经起来帮助米迦勒, 使他坚强.

11:2 And now I will reveal the truth to you. Look! Still three kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will get abundance and great wealth, even more than all of them, and when he becomes strong through his wealth, then he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Javan.
现在我要把真理告诉你. 看哪! 在波斯还有三个王要兴起; 第四个王必非常富有, 远超过所有的王; 他因富足成为强盛以后, 就必煽动众民攻击希腊国.

11:3 And a mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great dominion, and he will do as he pleases.
后来必有一个英勇的王兴起, 他必执掌大权, 任意而行.

11:4 But as he rises in power, his kingdom will be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, and not according to his dominion by which he ruled, for his kingdom will be uprooted and be given to others besides them.
他兴起的时候, 他的国就破裂, 向天的四方(“四方”原文作“四风”)分开, 却不归给他的后代, 国势也不及他掌权的时候; 因为他的国必被拔出, 归给他后代以外的人.

11:5 “Then the king of the south will grow strong and also one of his officials, and he will grow stronger than him and he will rule a dominion greater than his dominion.
“南方的王必强盛, 他的将领中必有一个比他更强盛的, 这人必掌权, 他的权势很大.

11:6 And at the end of some years they will make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make a peace treaty, but she will not retain her position of power, and his offspring will not endure, and she will be given up, she and her attendants and her child supporting her, in those times.
过了多年, 南方王的女儿必到北方王那里去修好, 他们必互相结盟. 但这女子的势力必存留不住; 王和他的势力也站立不住; 她连同那些带她来的,那生她的, 和那帮助她的, 都被交出处死.

11:7 And a branch from her roots will rise up in his place, and he will come against the army and he will enter the stronghold of the king of the north and he will take action against them and he will prevail.
但这女子的本家(“本家”原文作“根”)必另有一个儿子(“儿子”原文作“枝子”)兴起, 继承父位; 他必来攻击北方王的军队, 进入北方王的堡垒, 攻打他们, 而且得胜.

11:8 And also their gods with their idols and with the precious vessels, silver and gold he will take to Egypt into captivity, and for years he will leave the king of the north alone.
他又把他们的神像,铸成的偶像, 连同金银的宝器, 都一起掳掠到了埃及去. 此后数年之久, 他不再去攻击北方王.

11:9 And then he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will return to his land.
后来北方王必侵入南方王的国土, 然后撤退归回本国.

11:10 “But his sons will wage war and they will gather a multitude of great forces and he will advance with great force, and he will overflow like a flood and he will pass through and he will return, and they will wage war up to his fortress.
“北方王的众子必备战, 招集大军; 这大军前进, 如洪水泛滥, 横扫南方王的国土; 之后他又再去争战, 直到南方王的堡垒.

11:11 And the king of the south will become furious, and he will go and he will battle against him, against the king of the north; and he will muster a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.
南方王必发大怒, 出来和北方王交战; 北方王必摆列大军, 但这大军必交在南方王的手里.

11:12 When the multitude is carried off, his heart will be exalted and he will overthrow tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.
这大军被扫除以后, 南方王就心高气傲; 他虽然使千万人倒毙, 他的胜利却不能持久.

11:13 And the king of the north will again raise a multitude, greater than the former, and at the end of some years he will surely come with a great army and with great supplies.
北方王必再招聚大军, 比先前的更多; 时机成熟的时候, 他就率领装备好了的大军而来.

11:14 “And in these times many will rise up against the king of the south, and the violent ones of your people will lift themselves to fulfill the vision, but they will fall.
“那时, 必有许多人起来攻击南方王, 并且你同胞中的强暴人必挺身而起, 要使那异象应验, 但他们必失败.

11:15 And the king of the north will come, and he will throw up siege ramps and capture a city of fortifications and the military forces of the south and his choice troops will not stand, for there is no strength left to resist.
北方王必来, 堆土筑垒攻取坚固城. 南方的军力必抵挡不住, 甚至精锐的部队也无力抵抗.

11:16 And the one coming to him will act according to his pleasure, and there is no one who will stand before him, and he will stand in the beautiful land and complete destruction will be in his power.
那来攻击南方王的, 必任意而行; 没有人能在他面前站立得住; 他必站在那荣美之地, 手握毁坏之权.

11:17 And he will set his face to come with the authority of his whole kingdom and will form an agreement; and he will act, and the daughter of women he will give to him to destroy it, but the ploy will not succeed and she will not support him.
他决意倾全国的力量而来, 但他先和南方王修好, 把自己的女儿给南方王为妻, 好毁灭南国; 可是他的计划没有成功, 他自己也得不到什么好处.

11:18 And he will turn his face to the coastlands, and he will capture many, but a commander will end his insults to him so that instead his insults will turn back upon him.
后来他必转向沿海的岛屿, 夺取了许多海岛. 但有一个将领要制止他的骄横, 并且使他的骄横归回他身上.

11:19 And he will turn back his face toward the strongholds of his land, but he will stumble and he will fall and will not be found.
于是他转向自己国中的堡垒, 终于绊跌仆倒, 不再存在了.

11:20 “Then in his place will arise one sending an official throughout the glory of his kingdom, and in a few days he will be broken, but not in anger and not in battle.
“那时, 必有一个人兴起来代替他; 这人要派一个横征暴敛的人, 为了王国的荣华, 走遍全地; 可是不多几日, 这人就必被毁灭, 不是因为忿怒, 也不是因为战争.

11:21 And in his place a despicable person will arise on whom they have not conferred the majesty of the kingdom, and he will come in without warning and he will seize the kingdom by deceit.
必另有一个卑鄙的人兴起来代替他; 虽然人未曾把王国的尊荣给这人, 这人却乘人不备的时候来到, 用奉承的话夺得了王国.

11:22 And before him mighty military forces will be utterly swept away, and they will be broken, and also the leader of the covenant.
必有无数的军兵在他面前像洪水冲没, 并且溃败; 立约的君也必这样.

11:23 And after an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully, and he will rise and he will become powerful with few people backing him.
他结盟以后, 就必行诡诈; 他虽然只有少数的国民, 却渐渐强盛起来.

11:24 In a time of ease and in the rich parts of the province, he will come and he will do what his predecessors did not do; he will distribute plunder and spoil and possessions to them, and he will devise his plans against fortifications, but only for a time.
他必乘人不备的时候, 侵入省内最富庶的地区, 行他列祖和他列祖的祖先所未曾行过的; 他把掳掠之物和财物分给自己的部属; 又必设下计谋攻打堡垒, 只是这都是暂时的.

11:25 And he will stir up his power and his heart against the king of the south and with a much greater and stronger army; but he will not succeed, for they will devise plans against him.
他必竭尽己力, 鼓起勇气, 率领大军攻击南方王; 南方王也必带领极强大的军队奋起还击, 却抵挡不住, 因为有人设下计谋陷害南方王.

11:26 And those who eat of his royal rations will break him and his army will be overwhelmed, and many will fall, slain.
那些吃王膳的必毁灭他; 他的军队必被冲没, 受重伤而倒毙的很多.

11:27 And two of the kings will bend their hearts to evil. And at the same table they will speak lies, but what is discussed will not succeed, for still an end is coming at the appointed time.
至于那两个王, 他们都存心不良; 他们同桌吃饭, 也彼此说谎; 他们的阴谋却不成功, 因为要到了指定的时候, 结局才会来到.

11:28 Then he will return to his land with many possessions, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant, and he will take action and he will return to his land.
“北方王必带着大批财物返回自己的国土去; 他的心既然反对圣约, 必任意而行, 然后返回自己的国土去.

11:29 “At the appointed time he will return and he will come into the south, but it will not be as it was before.
“到了指定的时候, 他必回来, 再侵入南方的王国, 不过这次的情况却不像前一次.

11:30 And the ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart, and he will turn back, and he will be enraged against the holy covenant, and he will take action, and he will turn back, and he will pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant.
因为基提的战船必来攻击他, 他就丧胆而回; 他又恼恨圣约, 任意而行; 他必回来, 听取那些背弃圣约的人的建议.

11:31 And military forces from him will occupy and will profane the sanctuary stronghold, and they will abolish the regular burnt offering, and they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.
他的军队必起来, 亵渎圣殿, 就是那堡垒, 废除常献祭, 又在殿里设立了那使地荒凉的可憎的像.

11:32 “And those who violate the covenant he will seduce with flattery, but the persons who know their God will stand firm and will take action.
那些作恶违背圣约的人, 他必用奉承的话败坏他们; 但认识神的人民, 必刚强行事.

11:33 And those who have insight will instruct the many, but they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
民中的智慧人必使许多人明白是非; 但他们必有很多日子倒在刀剑之下, 或被火烧, 或被掳去, 或被抢掠.

11:34 And when they fall they will receive little help, and many will join with them in hypocrisy.
他们仆倒的时候, 必得到一些援助, 必有许多人用奉承的话要和他们联盟.

11:35 And even some of those who have insight will fall in order for them to be refined by it, and to be purified and cleansed until the time of the end, for the appointed time is still to come.
智慧人中有些仆倒的, 为要锻炼他们, 洁净他们, 使他们成为雪白, 直到末了, 因为要到了指定的时候, 结局才会来到.

11:36 “Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and will consider himself above any god, and he will speak horrendous things against the God of gods, yet he will succeed until the period of anger is finished, for what is determined will be done.
“那王必任意而行, 自高自大, 超过所有的神, 又说一些怪诞的话攻击万神之神. 他必行事顺利, 直到神的忿怒完毕; 因为所定的事必会实现.

11:37 He will not pay respect to the gods of his ancestors, or to the darling of women, and not to any god will he pay respect, for he will consider himself great over all gods.
他必不尊重他列祖所拜的神, 也不尊重妇女所爱慕的神, 无论什么神他都不尊重, 因为他必自大, 高过一切.

11:38 But instead he will honor the god of fortresses, a god whom his ancestors did not know. He will honor him with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones and with costly gifts.
他倒要敬拜堡垒的神, 用金银宝石和各样珍宝去敬拜他列祖所不认识的神.

11:39 And he will deal with the fortified strongholds with the help of a foreign god; and he will increase wealth for whoever will acknowledge him, and he will cause them to rule over the many, and he will distribute land for a price.
他必得着外族神的帮助, 攻破坚固的堡垒; 凡承认他的, 他必使他们大得尊荣, 又使他们管辖许多人, 并且把土地分给他们作赏赐.

11:40 “And at the time of the end the king of the south will attack him, and the king of the north will storm against him with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships, and he will advance against the countries and he will sweep through like a flood.
“到了末期, 南方王要和他交战; 北方王必带着战车,骑兵和大批战船, 像暴风一般来到他那里; 他必侵入列国, 如洪水泛滥, 横扫而过.

11:41 And he will come into the beautiful land and many will fall victim, but these will escape from his power: Edom and Moab and the best part of the Ammonites.
他也必侵入那荣美之地; 必有许多国倾覆; 但那些以东人,摩押人和亚扪人的首领, 必被拯救脱离他的手.

11:42 And he will stretch out his hand against countries and the land of Egypt will not escape.
他必伸手攻击列国, 埃及地也不能逃脱.

11:43 And he will rule over the treasures of gold and the silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Cushites will follow in his footsteps.
他必掌管埃及的金银宝藏和一切珍宝; 吕彼亚人和古实人都必追随他.

11:44 But reports will terrify him from the east and from the north, and he will go out with great fury to destroy and to exterminate many.
但从东方和北方必有消息传来, 使他惊惶, 他就在烈怒之下出兵, 要把许多人杀尽灭绝.

11:45 And then he will pitch the tents of his palace between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, and he will come to his end, and there is no one helping him.”
他必在海和荣美的圣山之间支搭如宫殿一般的帐幕; 然而他们的结局来到, 必没有人能帮助他. ”

Daniel - Chapter 12

12:1 “Now at that time, Michael, the great prince, will arise, the protector over the sons of your people, and it will be a time of distress that has not been since your people have been a nation until that time. And at that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.
“那时保护你同胞的伟大护卫天使米迦勒必站起来; 并且必有患难的时期, 是立国以来直到那时未曾有过的. 那时你的同胞中名字记录在册上的, 都必得拯救.

12:2 And many from those sleeping in the dusty ground will awake, some to everlasting life and some to disgrace and everlasting contempt.
必有许多睡在尘土中的人醒过来, 有的要得永生, 有的要受羞辱, 永远被憎恶.

12:3 But the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse, and the ones providing justice for the many will be like the stars forever and ever.
那些使人有智慧的必发光, 好像天上的光体; 那些使许多人归义的必发光, 如同星星, 直到永永远远.

12:4 But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and seal the scroll until the time of the end; many will run back and forth and knowledge will increase.”
但以理啊! 你要隐藏这些话, 把这书密封, 直到末期, 必有许多人来往奔跑, 知识增多. ”

12:5 Then I looked, I myself, Daniel, and look, there were two others standing: one on this bank of the stream and one on the other.
我但以理观看, 看见另有两个天使, 一个站在河岸的这边, 一个站在河岸的那边.

12:6 Then he said to the man who was clothed in linen who was above the water of the stream, “How long until the end of the wonders?”
有一个问那身穿细麻衣,站在河水以上的人, 说: “这些奇异的事的结局几时才到呢? ”

12:7 And I heard the man who was clothed in linen who was above the water of the stream, and he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and he swore by the one who lives forever that an appointed time, appointed times, and half an appointed time would pass when the shattering of the power of the holy people would be completed; then all these things will be accomplished.
我听见那身穿细麻衣,站在河水以上的人, 向天举起左右手, 指着活到永远的主起誓, 说: “要经过一载,二载,半载(“一载,二载,半载”或译: “一个时期,多个时期,半个时期”); 在他们完全粉碎圣民的势力的时候, 这一切事就都要完成. ”

12:8 Now I myself heard, but I did not understand, and I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
我听见, 却不明白, 我就问: “我主啊, 这些事的结局是怎样呢? ”

12:9 And he said, “Go, Daniel, for the words are secret and are sealed up until the time of the end.
他回答: “但以理啊! 你只管去吧, 因为这些话已经隐藏密封, 直到末期.

12:10 Many will be purified and will be cleansed and will be refined, but the wicked will act wickedly and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.
许多人必洁净自己, 使自己洁白, 并且被熬炼. 可是恶人仍然作恶. 所有恶人都不明白, 只有那些使人有智慧的才能明白.

12:11 And from the time the regular burnt offering is removed and the abomination that causes desolation is set up there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
从废除常献祭, 并设立那使地荒凉的可憎的像的时候起, 必有一千二百九十天.

12:12 Happy is the one who is persevering, and attains to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
等候到一千三百三十五日的, 那人是有福的.

12:13 But you, go on to the end and rest, and you will arise for your allotted inheritance at the end of the days.”
你应去等待结局! 你必安歇; 到了末日, 你必起来, 承受你的分. ”

Hosea (何西阿书)

Hosea - Chapter 1

1:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
犹大王乌西雅,约坦,亚哈斯,希西家在位的时候, 也是约阿施的儿子以色列王耶罗波安执政的时候, 耶和华的话临到备利的儿子何西阿.

1:2 At the beginning when Yahweh spoke through Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife and children of whoredom, because the land commits great whoredom forsaking Yahweh.”
耶和华初次借着何西阿说话. 耶和华对何西阿说: “你去娶一个像娼妓一样的女人, 生养像娼妓一样的儿女, 因为这地盛行淫乱, 离开了耶和华. ”

1:3 So he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
于是他就去娶了滴拉音的女儿歌玛. 后来, 她怀了孕, 给他生了一个儿子.

1:4 And Yahweh said to him, “Name him Jezreel; because in a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
耶和华就对何西阿说: “给他起名叫耶斯列; 因为不久我就要惩罚耶户家在耶斯列流人血的罪, 我要灭绝以色列家的国.

1:5 On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
“到那日, 我要在耶斯列平原折断以色列的弓. ”

1:6 And she conceived again and bore a daughter, and he said to him, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have pity on the house of Israel or forgive them.
后来, 歌玛又怀孕, 生了一个女儿. 耶和华对何西阿说: “给她起名叫罗．路哈玛(“罗．路哈玛”意即”不蒙怜恤”); 因为我必不再怜恤以色列家, 我决不赦免他们.

1:7 But I will have pity on the house of Judah and I will save them by Yahweh their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, war, horses, or horsemen.
“但我要怜恤犹大家, 使他们靠耶和华他们的神得救. 我要拯救他们, 并不是靠弓,靠刀,靠兵器, 也不是靠战马,靠骑兵. ”

1:8 And when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.
罗．路哈玛断奶之后, 歌玛又怀孕生了一个儿子.

1:9 And he said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not my people and I am not your God.
耶和华说: “给他起名叫罗．阿米(“罗．阿米”意即“非我民”); 因为你们不是我的子民, 我也不是你们的神.

1:10 The number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea that cannot be measured or counted; and in the place where it is said to them, “You are not my people,” it will be said to them, “Children of the living God.”
“然而, 以色列人的数目, 必多如海边的沙, 量不尽, 数不完. 从前在什么地方对他们说: ‘你们不是我的子民’, 将来要在那里对他们说: ‘你们是永活的神的儿子. ’

1:11 Then the children of Judah and Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one head; and they will take possession of the land, for great is the day of Jezreel.
犹大人和以色列人要聚集在一起, 为自己立一位首领, 并离开那地上去, 因为耶斯列的日子必为大日. ”

Hosea - Chapter 2

2:1 Say to your brother, “Ammi,” and to your sister, “Ruhamah.”
“你们要对你们的兄弟说: ‘我的子民’; 要对你们的姊妹说: ‘蒙怜悯的’.

2:2 Plead with your mother, plead— because she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her put away her whoring from before her, and her adultery from between her breasts.
要与你们的母亲争论, 你们要争论, 因为她不是我的妻子, 我也不是她的丈夫; 好让她除掉脸上的淫相, 和乳间的淫态,

2:3 Lest I strip her naked and expose her like the day when she was born; I will make her like the desert and turn her into parched land; I will kill her with thirst.
免得我把她剥光, 赤身露体, 使她像刚生下来的那天一样; 又使她像旷野, 像无水的旱地一般, 叫她因干渴而死.

2:4 And I will not have pity on her children, because they are children of whoredom.
我必不怜恤她的儿子, 因为他们是像娼妓的儿女;

2:5 Because their mother was unfaithful; she who conceived them has acted shamefully, for she said: “I will go after my lovers, the ones who give me my bread, my water, my wool, and my flax, my oil, and my drink.”
因为他们的母亲卖了淫, 怀他们的作了羞耻的事; 因为她曾说: ‘我要跟随我那些爱人. 我的饼和水, 羊毛和麻布, 油和我所喝的, 都是他们给的. ’

2:6 Therefore, Look! I am going to hedge her path with thorns, and I will build a stone wall, a stone wall against her, and she will not find her paths.
因此, 我要用荆棘堵塞她的通道, 我要筑墙围住她, 使她找不着出路.

2:7 Then she will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; she will seek them and not find them; and she will say, “I will go and return to my first husband because it was better for me then than now.”
她要追赶她那些爱人, 却追不上; 要寻找他们, 却找不着. 她就说: ‘我要回去, 回到前夫那里, 因为从前比现在好得多了. ’

2:8 But she did not know that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, and who gave her silver in abundance, and gold which they made into a Baal.
其实她不知道, 是我把五谷,新酒,橄榄油赐给了她; 甚至他们用来制造巴力的金银, 也是我大量给她的;

2:9 Therefore I will take again my grain in its time, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.
因此, 到了收割的时候, 到了出酒的季节, 我必收回五谷和新酒; 用来给她遮蔽裸体的羊毛和麻布, 我也必夺回.

2:10 And now I will uncover her nakedness before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will rescue her from my hand.
那时, 我要在她那些爱人眼前, 暴露她的下体; 也没有人能救她脱离我的手.

2:11 And I will put an end to all her mirth, her festivals, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her appointed festivals;
我必使她的一切欢乐,节期,新月,安息日, 或任何盛会都终止.

2:12 and I will lay waste to her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, “They are my payment for prostitution, which my lovers gave to me.” I will make them a forest, and the wild animals of the field will devour them.
我必毁坏她的葡萄树和无花果树, 就是她曾说: ‘这是我作妓女所赚的, 是我那些爱人给我的. ’我必使这些果树成为荒林, 任由田野的走兽吃掉.

2:13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals, to whom she burns incense, and she decked herself with her ornamental ring and jewelry, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me —a declaration of Yahweh.
她在拜众巴力的日子, 向他们烧香, 佩戴耳环首饰, 打扮自己, 跟随她那些爱人, 却把我遗忘, 所以我必惩罚她. ”这是耶和华说的.

2:14 Therefore, Look! I am going to allure her and bring her into the desert, and I will speak tenderly to her.
“因此, 我要诱导她, 领她到旷野, 对她说安慰的话.

2:15 From there I will give her her vineyards, and the Valley of Achor as a doorway of hope. And there she will respond, as in the days of her youth, just as in the day of her coming out of the land of Egypt.
在那里我要把葡萄园归还给她, 使亚割谷变成‘希望之门’. 她必在那里回应, 像她少年的时候一样, 也像她从埃及地上来的那天一般. ”

2:16 And on that day— a declaration of Yahweh— you will call me, “My husband;” you will no longer call me, “My Baal.”
耶和华说: “到那日, 你必称呼我‘伊施’(“伊施”意即“我夫”), 不再称呼我‘巴力’(“巴力”意即“我主”).

2:17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by their name.
我要把‘巴力’的名字从她口中除掉; 他们的名字没有人再提起.

2:18 I will make a covenant for them on that day, with the animals of the field, with the birds of the heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; the bow, the sword, and the war I will abolish from the land, and I will let them lie down in safety.
到那日, 为了他们, 我必和田野的走兽,空中的飞鸟,地上的爬虫立约; 我必从这地折断弓弩,刀剑和兵器; 使他们安然居住.

2:19 And I will take you as my wife forever; I will take you as a wife for myself in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy.

2:20 I will take you as my wife in faithfulness, and you will know Yahweh.
我必以信实聘你归我; 这样, 你就必认识耶和华. ”

2:21 On that day I will answer, declares Yahweh, I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth.
耶和华说: “到那日, 我必应允, 我必应允天, 天必应允地,

2:22 And the earth will answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they will answer Jezreel.
地必应允五谷,新酒和油. 这些必应允耶斯列(“耶斯列”意即“栽种”).

2:23 I will sow her for myself in the land; I will have pity on Lo-ruhama; I will say to Lo-ammi, “You are my people,” and he himself will say, “you are my God.”
我必为了自己把她栽种在这地. 我必怜恤那些不蒙怜恤的. 我必对那些不是我的子民说: ‘你是我的子民’, 他们必说: ‘你是我们的神. ’”

Hosea - Chapter 3

3:1 And Yahweh said to me again, “Go, love a woman who has a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of Yahweh for the children of Israel, but they are turning to other gods and love raisin cakes.”
耶和华对我说: “你再去爱一个妇人, 这妇人是为情人所爱, 又是个淫妇, 就像耶和华爱以色列人, 虽然他们转去跟随别神, 喜爱葡萄饼. ”

3:2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer of barely and a measure of wine.
于是, 我用一百七十一克银子, 一百五十公斤大麦, 买她回来归我.

3:3 And I said to her, “You must remain as mine for many days, and you will not play the whore; you will not belong to a man, and I will belong to you.”
我对她说: “你要给我独居多日, 不要行淫, 不要有别的男人, 我也必不与你同房. ”

3:4 The children of Israel will remain for many days without a king and prince, without sacrifice and stone pillar, ephod and teraphim.
因为以色列人也要独居多日; 没有君王, 没有领袖, 没有祭祀, 没有柱像, 没有以弗得, 也没有家中的神像.

3:5 Afterward the children of Israel will return and seek Yahweh their God and David their king. They will come in fear to Yahweh and to his goodness at the end of days.
后来以色列人必归回, 寻求耶和华他们的神, 寻求大卫他们的王. 在末后的日子, 他们必战战兢兢来到耶和华那里, 接受他的恩惠.

Hosea - Chapter 4

4:1 Hear the word of Yahweh, O children of Israel, for Yahweh has an indictment against the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or loyalty, there is no knowledge of God in the land.
以色列人哪! 你们要听耶和华的话. 耶和华要与这地的居民争辩, 因为在这地上没有诚实, 没有慈爱, 也没有认识神的知识;

4:2 Swearing and lying, murdering and stealing, and adultery break out, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
只有起假誓,撒谎,残杀,偷盗,奸淫,行强暴, 以至流人血事件相继而来.

4:3 Therefore the land mourns, and all those living in it languish with the animals of the field, and the birds of the heaven, and even the fish of the sea are being swept away.
因此, 这地必悲哀, 地上所有的居民,田野的走兽,空中的飞鸟都必衰微,枯萎, 连海里的鱼也要灭亡.

4:4 Yet, let no one contend, and let no one accuse, for with you, O priest, is my contention.
虽然这样, 人人都不必争论, 不要彼此指责. 祭司啊! 要与你辩论的是我.

4:5 You will stumble by day, and the priest also will stumble with you at night. And I will destroy your mother;
白天你要跌倒, 晚上先知也必与你一同跌倒; 我要毁灭你的母亲.

4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from acting as a priest for me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
我的子民因无知识而灭亡; 因为你拒绝了知识, 我必拒绝你, 不让你作我的祭司; 因为你忘掉了你神的律法, 我也必忘记你的子孙.

4:7 When they became many, their sin increased against me; they changed their glory into shame.
祭司越增多, 就越发得罪我, 我必把他们的尊荣变为耻辱.

4:8 They feed on the sin of my people, they are greedy for their iniquity.
他们借着我的子民犯罪来养活自己, 渴望他们多有罪孽.

4:9 And it will be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways, and I will requite them for their deeds.
所以, 祭司怎样, 人民也怎样. 我必按他们的行为惩罚他们, 照他们的行为报应他们.

4:10 They will eat and not be satisfied; they will play the whore and not multiply, because they have forsaken Yahweh to devote themselves to
他们吃, 却吃不饱; 行淫, 人数却不会增多; 因为他们离弃了耶和华, 不遵守他的命令.

4:11 whoredom. Wine and new wine take away the understanding.
淫行,陈酒和新酒, 把人的心夺走了.

4:12 My people, consult their wooden idols, and their divining rod gives them oracles; because a spirit of whoredom led them astray, and they played the whore from under their God.
我的子民求问木头, 由木杖引导他们, 因为淫荡的心使他们走迷了路, 他们就行淫不顺从神.

4:13 On the tops of the mountains they sacrifice, and on the hills they make offerings, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the whore, and all your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
他们在山顶上献祭, 在冈陵上的橡树,杨树和栗树之下献上烧香, 因为树荫美好. 所以你们的女儿行淫乱, 你们的儿媳犯奸淫.

4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, or your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; because they go aside with whores, and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes, a people that does not understand comes to ruin.
我却不因你们的女儿行淫乱, 也不因你们的儿媳犯奸淫而惩罚她们, 因为你们男人自己离群与娼妓在一起, 又与庙妓一同献祭. 这无知的人民必遭毁灭.

4:15 Even though you, O Israel, are playing the whore, do not let Judah become guilty; do not enter Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven; and do not swear, “As Yahweh lives!”
以色列啊! 你虽然行淫, 犹大却不可犯罪, 不要往吉甲去, 不要上到伯．亚文, 也不要指着永活的耶和华起誓.

4:16 Indeed, like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; Now Yahweh will feed them, like a lamb in broad pasture.
以色列倔强, 好像倔强的母牛, 现在耶和华怎样牧放他们, 好像牧放宽阔草场上的羊羔呢?

4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
以法莲和偶像连在一起, 任凭他吧!

4:18 When their drinking has ended, they surely indulge in sexual orgies. They love lewdness more than their glory.
他们醉意全消以后, 就不断行淫; 他们的官长最喜爱耻辱的事.

4:19 A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they will be ashamed because of their altars.
风要把他们裹在翅膀里卷去, 他们必因自己所献的祭祀而蒙受羞辱.

Hosea - Chapter 5

5:1 Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! Because the judgment applies to you; because you have been a snare for Mizpah, and a net spread out on Tabor;
祭司啊, 你们要听这话! 以色列家啊, 你们要留心听! 王的家啊, 你们要侧耳而听! 因为审判必临到你们, 因你们曾是米斯巴地的捕鸟机, 是他泊山上张开的网罗.

5:2 they dug a deep pit in Shittim, but I am a punishment for all of them.
他们在什亭掘深了陷阱, 但我要惩治他们所有的人.

5:3 I myself know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; because now you have played the whore, O Ephraim— Israel is defiled.
我认识以法莲, 以色列也瞒不住我; 以法莲啊! 现在你竟行淫, 以色列竟玷污了自己.

5:4 Their deeds do not permit them to return them to God. Because a spirit of whoredom is in their midst, they do not know Yahweh.
他们所行的使他们不能回转, 归回自己的神; 因为在他们当中有淫乱的心; 他们也不认识耶和华.

5:5 The pride of Israel testifies against him, and Israel and Ephraim stumble in their guilt, and Judah stumbles with them.
以色列的骄傲当面指证自己, 以色列和以法莲因自己的罪孽跌倒, 犹大也与他们一同跌倒.

5:6 With their flocks and herds they will go to seek Yahweh, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn from them.
虽然他们带着牛群羊群去寻求耶和华, 却寻不见; 他已经离开他们远去了.

5:7 They have dealt faithlessly with Yahweh because they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
他们以诡诈待耶和华, 因为他们生了私生子. 现在新月(“新月”或译: “侵略者”)要吞灭他们和他们的地业.

5:8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm in Beth-aven; look behind you, Benjamin.
你们要在基比亚吹角, 在拉玛吹号, 在伯．亚文大声吶喊: “便雅悯啊! 敌人就在你背后. ”

5:9 Ephraim will be a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I will reveal what is true.
在责罚的日子, 以法莲必成为荒场. 我要在以色列各支派中宣告一定会发生的事情.

5:11 Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because he was determined to go after filth.
以法莲受欺压, 被审判压碎; 因为他们乐意随从人的命令.

5:12 But I am like a maggot to Ephraim and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
因此我要成为以法莲的蛀虫, 成为犹大家的朽烂.

5:13 And when Ephraim saw his illness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, he sent to the great king. But he was unable to cure you and heal your wound.
以法莲看见自己的疾病, 犹大家看见自己的创伤, 以法莲就往亚述去, 派人去见亚述的大王. 可是他却不能医治你们, 也不能医好你们的创伤.

5:14 Because I will be like a lion to Ephraim and like a fierce strong lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear and I will go; I will carry off, and there is no one who delivers.
因为我对以法莲要像只猛狮, 对犹大家必像头少壮狮子. 我要亲自撕裂他们, 然后离去; 我把他们带走, 没有人能搭救.

5:15 I will return again to my place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face; in their distress they will search me.
我要回到自己的地方去; 直到他们承认自己的罪过, 寻求我的面. 在痛苦中必恳切寻求我. ”

Hosea - Chapter 6

6:1 Come, let us return to Yahweh; because it is he who has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck us down and will bind us up.
“来吧! 让我们回转归向耶和华; 因为, 他虽然撕裂了我们, 但必定医治我们; 他虽然击伤了我们, 却必替我们裹伤.

6:2 He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live in his presence.
两天以后, 他要使我们复原; 第三天, 他使我们起来, 我们就可以活在他的面前.

6:3 Let us know, let us press on to know Yahweh; his rising is sure like the dawn. He will come like the showers to us, like the spring rain that waters the earth.
让我们认识, 竭力追求认识耶和华. 他必定出现, 像晨光一样, 他必临到我们, 如雨水一般, 又像滋润大地的春雨.

6:4 What will I do with you, O Ephraim? What will I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early in the morning.
“以法莲啊! 我要怎样待你呢? 犹大啊, 我要怎样待你呢? 你们的爱心像早晨的云雾; 又像瞬即消逝的朝露.

“我医治以色列的时候, 以法莲的罪孽, 和撒玛利亚的罪恶就显露出来; 因为他们行欺诈, 小偷入屋偷窃, 强盗在外抢劫.

但他们去的时候, 我要把我的网撒在他们身上; 我要把他们如同空中的飞鸟打下来. 我要按着他们会众所听见的, 惩罚他们.

7:15 And I myself trained and strengthened their arms; but they plan evil against me.
我虽然锻炼他们的手臂, 使它们有力, 他们却图谋恶计攻击我.

他们转向巴力, 成了不可靠的了. 他们的领袖因自己舌头上的狂傲倒在刀下, 这在埃及地必成为被人讥笑的对象. ”

这牛犊是出于以色列, 是匠人所做的, 它并不是神, 撒玛利亚的牛犊必被粉碎.

8:7 Because they sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind. The standing grain does not have heads; it will not yield flour. And if it would yield, strangers would devour it.

8:10 Even though they have sold themselves to the nations, now I will gather them. They will soon writhe from the burden of kings and princes.

9:1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not exult like the nations! For you played the whore, departing from your God; you loved a harlot’s wage on all the threshing floors of grain.
以色列啊! 不要欢喜; 不要像外族人一样快乐, 因为你行了邪淫, 离开你的神, 在各打谷场上喜爱卖淫的赏赐.

打谷场和榨酒池不能喂养他们, 新酒也必使他们失望.

9:3 They will not remain in the land of Yahweh. But Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
他们必不得住在耶和华之地; 以法莲要回到埃及去, 要在亚述吃不洁之物.

9:4 They will not pour drink offerings of wine to Yahweh, and their sacrifices will not please him. They are like mourners’ bread for them; all those who eat it will be defiled. For their bread will be for their hunger; it will not come to the house of Yahweh.
他们必不得向耶和华奠酒, 他们的祭物也不能使他喜悦. 他们的饼好像丧家的饼, 凡吃这饼的, 都必被玷污; 因为他们的饼只可自己吃, 不可带进耶和华的殿.

9:5 What will you do on the day of the appointed time, and on the day of the festival of Yahweh?
那么, 在规定集会的日子和耶和华节期的时候, 你们能作什么?

9:6 For look! If they flee from the destruction, Egypt will gather them; Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their precious things of silver; thorns will be in their tents.
看哪! 他们逃到亚述去, 埃及要收殓他们, 摩弗要埋葬他们. 他们珍贵的银器必为蒺藜所占有, 他们的帐棚必长满荆棘.

惩罚的日子临近, 报应的时候来到, 以色列必定知道, 因着你们众多的罪孽和深仇大恨, 先知被看为愚昧, 受灵感动的人被当作疯子.

9:8 The prophet keeps watch over Ephraim for my God; the snare of a fowler is on all his ways, and hostility in the house of his God.
先知与神一同作以法莲的守望者, 在他所行的一切路上, 都满有捕鸟人的网罗, 在他神的家中只有仇恨.

9:9 They deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; he will remember their sin, he will punish their sins.
以法莲深深败坏, 如同在基比亚的日子一般. 神必记得他们的罪孽, 惩罚他们的罪恶.

9:10 Like the grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like early ripened fruit on the fig tree in the first season, I saw your ancestors. They themselves came to Baal Peor, and they consecrated themselves to shame. And they became detestable things, like the thing they love.
“我遇见以色列, 好像在旷野里遇见葡萄. 我看见你们的列祖, 像看见无花果树初熟的果子. 他们却来到巴力．毗珥, 专作羞耻的事, 成为可憎恶的, 像他们所爱的偶像一样.

9:11 Ephraim’s glory is like a bird; it will fly away— no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
至于以法莲, 他们的荣耀必如鸟儿飞逝; 没有生育, 没有怀胎, 没有成孕.

9:12 Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them before maturity. Woe to them indeed, when I depart from them!
即使他们把儿女养大, 我也必使他们丧子, 一个不留. 我离弃他们的时候, 他们就有祸了. ”

9:13 Ephraim, as I see it, is like a palm in a meadow; but Ephraim must bring out his children to the slayer.
在我看来, 以法莲的儿女注定被当作猎物; 以法莲要把自己的儿女带出来, 交给施行杀戮的人.

9:14 Give them, O Yahweh— what will you give them? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
耶和华啊, 求你赐给他们; 你要赐给他们什么呢? 求你使他们坠胎小产, 乳房萎缩.

9:15 Every evil of theirs began at Gilgal, so I began to hate them there; because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them out from my house. I will love them no more; all their officials are rebels.
“他们的一切罪恶都在吉甲, 我在那里憎恨他们, 因他们的恶行, 我要把他们从我的家里赶出来; 我不再爱他们, 他们的领袖都是叛徒.

9:16 Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall not bear fruit. Even if they give birth, I will kill the cherished offspring of their womb.
以法莲被击打, 他们的根枯干了, 必不能再结果子. 即使他们生产, 我必杀死他们所生的爱子. ”

9:17 My God will reject them because they did not listen to him, and they will be wanderers among the nations.
我的神必弃绝他们, 因为他们不听从他; 他们必在列国中飘流.

Hosea - Chapter 10

10:1 Israel is a luxuriant vine; he yields fruit for himself. The more his fruit increased, the more he made numerous altars. The more his land prospered, the more he improved his stone pillars.
以色列最茂盛的葡萄树, 自己能结果子. 他的果子越多, 他就越增添祭坛; 他的土地越肥美, 他就使柱像越美丽.

10:2 Their heart is false; now they must bear their guilt. He himself will break down their altars; he will destroy their stone pillars.
他们心怀诡诈, 现在要承担这罪的惩罚. 耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛, 毁坏他们的柱像.

10:3 For now they will say, “We have no king; indeed, we did not fear Yahweh, and what can a king do for us?”
那时他们必说: “我们没有君王, 因为我们不敬畏耶和华. 至于君王, 他能为我们作什么呢? ”

Amos - Chapter 5

5:1 Hear this word that I am going to intone over you as a lament, O house of Israel!
以色列家啊! 要听这话, 就是我为你们唱的挽歌:

5:2 Virgin Israel has fallen and will not rise again. She is deserted on her land; there is no one to raise her up.
“童贞女以色列, 跌倒了, 不能再起来; 她被拋弃在自己的地上, 没有人扶她起来. ”

5:3 For thus says my Lord Yahweh, “The city that marches out with a thousand will only have a hundred left. And the one that marches out with a hundred will only have ten left for the house of Israel.”
因为主耶和华论以色列家这样说: “这城派兵一千, 剩下的只有一百; 出兵一百, 只剩下十个. ”

5:4 For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel, “Seek me so that you may live.”
耶和华对以色列家这样说: “寻求我, 就必存活;

5:5 But do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal or cross over to Beersheba, for Gilgal will certainly go into exile and Bethel will come to disaster.”
不要去伯特利寻求我, 不要去吉甲, 也不要过去别是巴. 因为吉甲必被掳掠, 伯特利必化为乌有. ”

5:6 Seek Yahweh so that you may live, so that he will not break out like a fire against the house of Joseph! And it will devour, with none to quench it for Bethel.

5:7 Ah, you who turn justice into wormwood and hurl righteousness to the ground!
他们使公正变为苦堇, 把公义弃于地上.

5:8 The one who made the Pleiades and Orion and who turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens day into night, the one who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name!
那创造昴星和参星, 把幽暗变为黎明, 把白日转为黑夜; 又吩咐海水, 把海水倒在地上的; 耶和华就是他的名.

5:9 The one who makes destruction flash upon the fierce, so that destruction comes upon the fortification.
是他使毁灭像闪电临到堡垒, 使毁灭临到坚固的城.

5:10 They hate the one who reproves in the gate and they abhor the one who speaks honestly.
你们讨厌那在城门口主持公道的人, 恨恶说正直话的.

5:11 Therefore, because you trample on the poor and you take a grain tax from them, you built houses of dressed stone, but you will not live in them. You built vineyards of delightfulness, but you will not drink their wine.
你们欺压穷人, 强征他们的五谷; 因此, 你们用琢磨过的石头建造房屋, 却不能住在其中; 你们栽种美好的葡萄园, 却不能喝园中的酒.

5:12 For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are numerous, you foes of the righteous, those who take a bribe, and those who push aside the poor ones in the gate!
因为我知道你们的过犯众多, 罪大恶极; 你们迫害义人, 收受贿赂, 在城门口屈枉穷乏人;

5:13 Therefore, whoever has insight will keep silent in that time, for it is a time of evil.
为此, 聪明人在这时代缄默无声, 因这时代邪恶.

5:14 Seek good and not bad in order that you may live, and so Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
你们要寻求良善, 不要寻求邪恶, 这样才可以存活. 耶和华万军的神就必与你们同在, 正如你们所说的.

5:15 Hate evil and love good and establish justice in the gate; perhaps Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
你们要喜爱良善, 恨恶邪恶, 在城门口伸张正义; 这样, 耶和华万军的神或会恩待约瑟的余民.

5:16 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, my Lord, “In all of the public squares there will be wailing, and in all of the streets they will say, ‘Alas, alas, alas!’ They shall call the farmers to mourning and to wailing, to those who are skilled in lamentation.
因此, 主耶和华万军的神这样说: “各广场充满哀恸的声音, 街上只听见‘苦啊! 苦啊! ’的喊声; 人要召农夫来哀哭, 召善于哭丧的人来哀喊.

5:17 And in all of the vineyards there will be wailing, because I will pass in your midst,” says Yahweh.
所有葡萄园充满哀恸的声音, 因为我必在你们中间经过. ”这是耶和华说的.

5:18 Alas, those who desire the day of Yahweh, why is this for you the day of Yahweh? It will be darkness and not light!
渴望耶和华日子来临的人, 你们有祸了! 耶和华的日子对你们有什么好处呢? 那日是黑暗, 没有光明的日子.

5:19 It will be as if a man fled from a lion and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall and a snake bit him.
那日就像一个人避过了狮子, 却遇上了熊; 回到家里, 手靠在墙上, 却被蛇咬.

5:20 Is not the day of Yahweh darkness and not light, and pitch dark with no brightness in it?
耶和华的日子不是黑暗, 没有光明, 只有幽暗, 全无光辉吗?

5:22 Yes, even if you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them, and I will not look at the fellowship offerings of your fattened animals.
虽然你们给我献上燔祭和素祭, 我却不接受. 你们献上肥美的牲畜作平安祭, 我也不悦纳.

5:23 Remove from me the noise of your songs, and I do not want to hear the melody of your harps!

Amos - Chapter 6

6:1 Alas for those being at ease in Zion, and those who feel secure on Mount Samaria, the notables of the best of the nations! The house of Israel resorts to them.
那些在锡安平静安逸的, 安稳在撒玛利亚山上的, 有祸了! 你们是这列国中为首之大国的领袖, 是以色列家所归向的.

6:2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there to Hamath Rabbah and go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms, or is their territory greater than your territory?
你们要过去甲尼看看, 从那里往哈马大城去, 然后下到非利士的迦特; 看你们是否比这些国家胜一筹? 他们的领土是否比你们的领土还大?

6:3 You that put off the day of disaster and bring near a reign of violence!
你们认为灾祸的日子离开很远, 你们的行为却招致残暴的审判.

Amos - Chapter 7

7:1 This is what my Lord Yahweh showed me, and look, he is going to form locusts at the beginning of the sprouting of the second crop, and look, after the mowings of the king.
主耶和华向我这样显示: 看哪! 替王收割之后, 田产又开始生长时, 主造出一群蝗虫.

蝗虫吃尽地上的农产时, 我说: “主耶和华啊! 求你宽恕, 因雅各太弱小, 怎能站立得住呢? ”

7:3 Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not be,” said Yahweh.
耶和华对这事改变心意, 耶和华说: “这事不会发生. ”

7:4 This is what my Lord Yahweh showed me, and look, my Lord Yahweh was going to call for a legal case with fire, and it devoured the great deep and it ate up the plots of ground.
主耶和华向我这样显示: 看哪! 主耶和华召来刑罚的火, 烧毁广大的深渊和以色列的地业.

7:7 This is what he showed me: Behold, my Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plummet, and a plummet was in his hand.
他向我这样显示: 看哪! 主站在一道按准绳建造的墙旁边, 手里拿着准绳.

7:8 And Yahweh said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “A plummet.” And my Lord said, “Look, I am going to set a plummet in the midst of my people, Israel. I will not pass them by again.
耶和华对我说: “阿摩司, 你看见什么? ”我回答: “我看见准绳. ”主又说: “看哪! 我把准绳放在我民以色列中间, 必不再放过他们.

7:9 The high places of Isaac shall become desolate and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. And I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
以撒的各邱坛必荒废, 以色列所有的圣所必废弃; 我必起来用刀击杀耶罗波安家. ”

7:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to endure all of his words.
伯特利的祭司亚玛谢派人向以色列王耶罗波安报告: “阿摩司在以色列家中图谋背叛你, 这国家不能容忍他说的话;

7:11 For this Amos has said, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword and Israel will certainly go into exile away from his land.’ ”
因为阿摩司这样说: ‘耶罗波安必死在刀下, 以色列必被掳, 离开本国. ’”

7:12 And Amaziah said to Amos, “O seer, go, flee to the land of Judah and earn food there and prophesy there!”
亚玛谢对阿摩司说: “你这个先见, 走吧! 滚回犹大地去; 在那里你可以找食, 在那里你可以说预言.

7:13 But do not prophesy again at Bethel, because this is a sanctuary of a king and this is a temple of a kingdom.”
但不要再在伯特利说预言, 因为这里是王的圣所, 是王国的圣殿. ”

7:14 And Amos answered and said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet and I am not a son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman and I am one taking care of sycamore trees.
阿摩司回答亚玛谢说: “我原不是先知, 也不是先知的门徒; 我本是牧人, 是修理桑树的,

7:15 And Yahweh took me from following behind the sheep and goats and Yahweh said to me, “Go, prophesy to my people Israel!
但耶和华选召我, 叫我不再跟随羊群; 他对我说: ‘你去, 向我民以色列说预言. ’

7:16 And so then, hear the word of Yahweh! You are saying, ‘You must not prophesy against Israel and you must not preach against the house of Isaac!’
现在你要听耶和华的话; 因为你说: ‘不要说预言攻击以色列, 不要说攻击以撒家的话. ’

7:17 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword and your land will be divided with a line, and you will die in an unclean land and Israel will surely go into exile from this land.’ ”
所以, 耶和华这样说: ‘你妻子必在城中作妓女, 你的儿女必倒在刀下; 你的土地必被人量度瓜分, 你自己必死在不洁之地; 以色列必被掳, 离开本国. ’”

Amos - Chapter 8

8:1 My Lord Yahweh showed me this, and there was a basket of summer fruit.
主耶和华向我显示, 我就看见一篮夏天的果子.

8:2 And he said, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” And Yahweh said to me, “The end has come upon my people Israel. I will not pass by them again!”

8:4 Hear this, those who trample on the poor and who annihilate the afflicted of the land,
践踏穷乏人又除掉国中困苦人的, 你们要听这话.

8:5 saying, “When will the new moon be over, so that we can sell grain? And the Sabbath, so that we can open the grain bins, that we can make the ephah small and make the shekel large, and can practice deceit with a set of scales of deceit?
你们说: “月朔什么时候过去, 好让我们可以卖五谷; 安息日什么时候结束, 好让我们可以开市卖谷物. 我们卖东西就把升斗弄小, 收银子却用加重了的法码, 我们要用假秤欺骗人.

8:6 That we can buy the powerless with silver and the poor for the sake of a pair of sandals, and we can sell the waste of the grain?”
我们用银子买穷人, 用一双鞋换取穷乏人; 连麦碎也卖掉. ”

8:7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their deeds!
耶和华指着雅各所夸耀的起誓说: “我必永远记着他们所作的一切;

8:8 On account of this, will not the land tremble and will not every living thing in it mourn? And all of it will rise like the Nile and it will be tossed about and subside like the Nile of Egypt.
“这地不应为此震动, 所有住在地上的不应悲哀吗? 这地必像尼罗河高涨翻腾, 像埃及的大河退落.

8:9 And then in that day,” declares my Lord Yahweh, “I will make the sun go down at noon and I will darken the land on a day of light.
“到那日, 这是耶和华的宣告: 我必使太阳在正午落下, 在白昼使地变成昏暗.

8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning and all of your songs into lament, and I will put sackcloth on all loins and baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning for an only child, and its end like a bitter day.
“我必使你们欢乐的节期变为悲哀的日子, 把你们的歌声都变为哀哭. 我必使你们各人腰束麻带, 头都剃光了; 我必使你们悲哀, 好像丧了独生子, 自始至终都是痛苦的.

8:11 Look, the days are coming,” declares my Lord Yahweh, “when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine for bread and not a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh!
“看哪! 日子快到, 这是主耶和华的宣告. 我必使饥荒临到这地, 这饥荒不是因为没有食物, 这干渴不是因为没有水; 而是因为听不见耶和华的话.

8:12 And they will wander from sea to sea and from the north and to the east. They will roam about to seek the word of Yahweh, but they will not find it!
他们从这海飘流到那海, 从北到东, 到处奔走, 要寻求耶和华的话, 却寻不见.

8:13 In that day the beautiful young women and the young men will faint because of thirst.
“到那日, 美丽的少女和勇士都因干渴昏倒.

8:14 These are those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, ‘By the life of your gods, O Dan,’ and ‘By the life of the way of Beersheba,’ they will fall and they will not rise again.”
那些指着撒玛利亚亚示玛女神(“亚示玛女神”原文作“罪”)起誓, 或是那些指着但的神, 或别是巴的神(“别是巴的神”原文作“别是巴的道”)起誓的, 他们要倒下, 再不能起来. ”

Amos - Chapter 9

9:1 I saw my Lord standing by the altar and he said, “Strike the capitals so that the thresholds will shake, and shatter them on the head of all of them, and I will kill the rest of them with the sword. A fugitive belonging to them will not run away, and a survivor belonging to them will not escape.
我见主站在祭坛旁, 他说: “击打圣殿的柱顶, 使门槛都震动. 砍掉它们, 落在众人的头上, 剩下的人我必用刀杀死; 没有一个能逃走, 没有一人逃脱.

9:2 If they dig into Sheol, from there my hand will take them, and even if they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down.
如果他们下到阴间, 就是在那里, 我的手必把他们揪上来; 如果他们升到天上, 就是在那里, 我必把他们拉下来;

如果他们被仇敌掳去, 就是在那里, 我必命令刀剑杀死他们; 我必定睛在他们身上, 降祸不降福. ”

9:5 And thus will do the Lord Yahweh of hosts, who touches the earth and it melts, and all of those living in it mourn, and all of it rises like the Nile and it sinks down like the Nile of Egypt,
万军之主耶和华摸地, 地就融化, 住在地上的都要悲哀. 这地必像尼罗河高涨, 像埃及的大河退落.

9:6 who builds his upper chambers in the heavens and lays the foundation of his vault on the earth, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them on the surface of the earth—Yahweh is his name.
他在天上建立楼阁, 在大地之上奠立穹苍; 他召唤海水, 把海水浇在地上; 耶和华是他的名.

Obadiah (俄巴底亚书)

Obadiah - Chapter 1

1:1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says my Lord Yahweh concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Yahweh, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: “Rise up and let us rise against it for battle.”
俄巴底亚所见的异象. 主耶和华指着以东这样说: 我们从耶和华那里听见了一个信息, 有一位使者被派往列国去, 说: “起来吧! 我们起来与以东争战. ”

1:2 “Look, I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be utterly despised!
看哪! 我必使你在列国中成为弱小的, 你必大受藐视.

1:3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of a rock, the heights of its dwelling, you who say in your heart: ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
你心中的傲气欺骗了你; 你这住在岩石的隐密处, 居所在高处的啊! 你心里说: “谁能把我拉下地呢? ”

1:4 Even if you soar like the eagle, even if your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down!” declares Yahweh:
你虽如鹰高飞, 在星宿之间搭窝, 我也必从那里把你拉下来. 这是耶和华的宣告.

1:5 “If thieves came to you, if plunderers of the night—How you have been destroyed!—would they not steal what they wanted? If grape gatherers came, would they not leave gleanings?
窃贼若来到你那里, 强盗若夜间来到, 岂不会偷窃直到够了呢? 你将会怎样被灭绝! 摘葡萄的若来到你那里, 岂不只剩下几粒葡萄吗?

1:6 How Esau has been pillaged; his treasures have been ransacked!
以扫要怎样被搜索, 他收藏的宝物被搜查出来.

1:7 All of your allies have driven you up to the boundary; your confederates have deceived you and have prevailed against you. Those who eat your bread have set an ambush for you, there is no understanding of it.
曾与你结盟的, 都把你送到边界; 本来与你友好的, 却欺骗你, 胜过你; 与你同席的, 在你脚下暗设网罗, 你却毫不晓得.

1:8 On that day,” declares Yahweh, “will I not destroy the wise men from Edom, and understanding from the mountain of Esau?
耶和华宣告说: 到那日, 我岂不从以东灭绝智慧人吗? 岂不从以扫山除掉聪明人吗?

1:9 And your warriors will be shattered, O Teman, so that everyone from the mountain of Esau will be cut off because of the slaughter!
提幔哪! 你的勇士要惊惶, 因此在以扫山上人人被杀戮剪除.

1:10 “Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you and you will be cut off forever.
因你对兄弟雅各行强暴, 你必受羞辱, 永被剪除.

1:11 On the day you stood nearby, on the day strangers took his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots over Jerusalem, you were also like one of them.
外地人劫掠雅各财物的日子, 外族人进入他的城门, 为耶路撒冷抽签; 那时你竟袖手旁观, 甚至好像他们中间的一分子!

你兄弟遭遇祸患的日子, 你不该看着不理; 犹大人被灭的日子, 你不该幸灾乐祸; 他们遭难的日子, 你不该张口狂傲;

你不该站在岔路口, 剪除他们中间逃脱的人; 他们遭难的日子, 你不该把他们生还的人交出来.

1:15 “For the day of Yahweh is near against all the nations! Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return on your own head.
耶和华的日子临近万国了, 人必照你所行的向你施行, 你的报应必归到你的头上.

1:16 For just as you have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and they will slurp, and they will be as if they had never been.
你们怎样在我的圣山上喝过苦杯, 万国也必照样不住地喝, 他们要喝, 并且要吞下去, 他们就不再存在了.

1:17 But on Mount Zion there will be an escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take possession of their dispossessors.
但在锡安山上必有逃脱的人, 那山必成为圣; 雅各家必得回他们原有的产业.

1:18 And the house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; and they will set them on fire and will consume them. And there will not be a survivor for the house of Esau,” for Yahweh has spoken.

必有拯救者登锡安山, 审判以扫山, 国权就属于耶和华了.

Jonah (约拿书)

Jonah - Chapter 1

1:1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
耶和华的话临到亚米太的儿子约拿, 说:

1:2 “Get up! Go to the great city Nineveh and cry out against her, because their evil has come up before me.”
“起来! 到尼尼微大城去, 警告其中的居民, 因为他们的恶行已经达到我面前. ”

1:3 But Jonah set out to flee toward Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. And he went down to Joppa and found a merchant ship going to Tarshish, and paid her fare, and went on board her to go with them toward Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
可是约拿却起来, 要逃往他施去, 躲避耶和华; 他下到约帕, 找到了一只要开往他施去的船; 他给了钱, 就上船(“上船”原文作“下船”), 要和他们同往他施去, 离开耶和华.

1:4 And Yahweh hurled a great wind upon the sea, and it was a great storm on the sea, and the merchant ship was in danger of breaking up.
但是耶和华在海上忽然刮起大风, 于是海中狂风大作, 船几乎要破裂了.

1:5 And the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they threw the contents that were in the merchant ship into the sea to lighten it for them. And meanwhile Jonah went down into the hold of the vessel and lay down and fell asleep.
水手都很惧怕, 各人向自己的神大声呼求; 他们为了减轻船的重量, 就把船上的东西拋在海里, 可是约拿却下了船舱, 躺着熟睡了.

1:6 And the captain of the ship approached him and said to him, “Why are you sound asleep? Get up! Call on your god! Perhaps your god will take notice of us and we won’t perish!”
船长走到他面前, 对他说: “你怎么啦! 睡得那么熟? 快起来, 求告你的神吧! 或者神会记念我们, 使我们不至于丧命! ”

1:7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots so that we may know on whose account this disaster has come on us!” And they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
水手就彼此说: “来吧! 让我们抽签, 好知道这场灾祸临到我们, 是因谁的缘故. ”于是他们抽签, 结果抽中了约拿.

1:8 So they said to him, “Please tell us whoever is responsible that this disaster has come upon us! What is your occupation? And from where do you come? What is your country? And from which people are you?”
他们就对约拿说: “请告诉我们, 这场灾祸临到我们, 是因谁的缘故? 你是作什么的? 你从哪里来? 你是哪一国的人? 哪一族的人? ”

1:9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
他回答说: “我是希伯来人, 我敬畏耶和华天上的神, 就是那创造海洋和陆地的. ”

1:10 Then the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him, “What is this you have done?” because they knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh (because he had told them).
众人就大大惧怕, 对他说: “你为什么这样作呢? (“你为什么这样作呢? ”或译: “你作的是什么呢? ”)”那些人知道他躲避耶和华, 原来约拿告诉了他们.

1:11 So they said to him, “What shall we do to you so that the sea may quiet down for us?” because the sea was growing more and more tempestuous.
因为海浪越来越汹涌, 他们又对他说: “我们该怎样处置你, 才能叫海浪平静呢? ”

1:12 And he said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea so that the sea may quiet down for you, because I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you all.”
他回答说: “你们把我抬起来, 投在海里, 海浪就会平静, 因为我知道, 这场大风暴临到你们, 是为了我的缘故. ”

1:13 But the men rowed hard to bring the ship back to the dry land, and they could not do so because the sea was growing more and more tempestuous against them.
那些人虽然破浪挣扎, 要把船靠岸, 却是不能, 因为海浪不断汹涌扑来.

1:14 So they cried out to Yahweh, and they said, “O Yahweh! Please do not let us perish because of this man’s life, and do not make us guilty of innocent blood, because you, O Yahweh, did what you wanted.”
他们就呼求耶和华, 说: “耶和华啊! 我们恳求你, 不要因这人叫我们丧命; 不要把无辜人的血归在我们身上, 因为你耶和华是照自己所喜悦的行事. ”

1:15 And they picked Jonah up and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
于是他们把约拿抬起来, 投在海里, 怒涛就平息了.

1:16 So the men feared Yahweh greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh and made vows.
那些人就大大敬畏耶和华, 向他献祭和许愿.

1:17 And Yahweh provided a large fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
耶和华却安排了一条大鱼, 把约拿吞下. 约拿就在鱼腹中三日三夜.

Jonah - Chapter 2

2:1 And Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish
约拿从鱼腹中向耶和华他的神祷告,

2:2 and said, “I called from my distress to Yahweh, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried for help— you heard my voice.
说: “我从患难中求告耶和华, 他就应允我; 我从阴间的深府呼求, 你就垂听我的声音.

2:3 And you threw me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the sea currents surrounded me; all your breakers and your surging waves passed over me.
你把我投入深海, 在海洋的深处, 大水环绕我; 你的洪涛,你的波浪, 都漫过我.

2:4 And I said, ‘I am banished from your sight; how will I continue to look on your holy temple?’
我说: ‘我虽从你眼前被赶逐, 我仍要仰望你的圣殿. ’

2:5 The waters encompassed me up to my neck; the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
众水包围我, 几乎置我于死地; 深渊环绕我; 海草缠裹我的头.

2:6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains; the Underworld—its bars were around me forever. But you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.
我下沉直到山麓, 大地的门闩把我永远关闭; 耶和华我的神啊! 你却把我的性命从坑中拉上来.

2:7 When my life was ebbing away from me, I remembered Yahweh, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
当我心灵疲弱时, 我就思念耶和华; 我的祷告直达你面前, 进入你的圣殿.

2:8 Those who worship vain idols forsake their loyal love.
那敬奉虚妄之偶像的人, 实在是离弃了怜爱他们的神(“怜爱他们的神”原文作“他们的恩典”).

2:9 But I, with a voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you; I will fulfill what I have vowed. Deliverance belongs to Yahweh!”
至于我, 我要带着感谢的声音向你献祭; 我所许的愿, 我必偿还. 救恩是属于耶和华的. ”

2:10 And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.
于是耶和华吩咐那鱼, 鱼就把约拿吐在陆地上.

Jonah - Chapter 3

3:1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah a second time, saying,
耶和华的话再次临到约拿, 说:

3:2 “Get up! Go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the message that I am telling you.”
“起来! 到尼尼微大城去, 向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的话. ”

3:3 So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was an extraordinarily great city—a journey of three days across.
约拿就动身, 照耶和华的话往尼尼微去了, 这尼尼微是一座极大的城(“是一座极大的城”或译: “在神面前是一座大城”), 要三天才能走完.

3:4 And Jonah began to go into the city a journey of one day, and he cried out and said, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be demolished!”
约拿进城, 走了一天, 就宣告说: “再过四十天, 尼尼微就要毁灭了. ”

3:5 And the people of Nineveh believed in God, and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth—from the greatest of them to the least important.
尼尼微人信了(“信了”或译: “信服”)神, 就宣告禁食, 从大到小, 都穿上麻衣.

3:6 And the news reached the king of Nineveh, and he rose from his throne and removed his royal robe, put on sackcloth, and sat in the ashes.
这事传到尼尼微王那里, 他就起来, 离开宝座, 脱去王袍, 披上麻衣, 坐在炉灰中.

3:7 And he had a proclamation made, and said, “In Nineveh, by a decree of the king and his nobles: “No human being or animal, no herd or flock, shall taste anything! They must not eat, and they must not drink water!
他又传谕全尼尼微, 说: “王和大臣有令: ‘人,畜,牛,羊, 都不准尝什么, 不准吃, 也不准喝.

3:8 And the human beings and the animals must be covered with sackcloth! And they must call forcefully to God, and each must turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
不论人畜, 都要披上麻衣; 各人要恳切呼求神, 悔改, 离开恶行, 摒弃手中的强暴.

3:9 Who knows? God may relent and change his mind and turn from his blazing anger so that we will not perish.”
或者神回心转意, 不发烈怒, 使我们不致灭亡. ’”

3:10 And God saw their deeds—that they turned from their evil ways—and God changed his mind about the evil that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it.
神看见他们所作的, 就是悔改离开恶行, 神就转意, 不把所说的灾祸降在他们身上了.

Jonah - Chapter 4

4:1 And this was greatly displeasing to Jonah, and he became furious.
约拿对这事非常不高兴, 并且发起怒来,

4:2 And he prayed to Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh, was this not what I said while I was in my homeland? Therefore I originally fled to Tarshish, because I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and having great steadfast love, and one who relents concerning calamity.
就向耶和华祷告, 说: “耶和华啊! 我还在本国的时候, 不是这样说过吗? 我知道你是有恩典有怜悯的神, 不轻易发怒, 并且有丰盛的慈爱, 转意不降灾祸, 所以我才急忙逃往他施去.

4:3 And so then, Yahweh, please take my life from me, because for me death is better than life!”
耶和华啊! 现在求你取去我的性命吧, 因为我死了比活着还好. ”

4:4 And Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
耶和华回答说: “你这样发怒对不对呢? ”

4:5 And Jonah went out from the city and sat down east of the city, and he made for himself a shelter there. And he sat under it in the shade, waiting to see what would happen with the city.
约拿出了城, 在城东坐下; 他在那里搭了一座棚, 坐在棚荫之下, 要看看那城究竟怎样.

4:6 And Yahweh God appointed a plant, and he made it grow up over Jonah to be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. And Jonah was very glad about the plant.
耶和华神安排一棵蓖麻, 使它长起来高过约拿, 成了阴影遮盖他的头, 免他受苦; 约拿因这棵蓖麻, 就大大欢畅.

4:7 So God appointed a worm at daybreak the next day, and it attacked the plant, and it withered.
次日黎明的时候, 神安排一条虫子, 蛀蚀这棵蓖麻, 蓖麻就枯槁了.

4:8 And when the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head and he grew faint. And he asked that he could die and said, “My death is better than my life!”
日出的时候, 神又安排炎热的东风. 烈日晒在约拿的头上, 以致发昏, 他就为自己求死, 说: “我死了比活着还好. ”

4:9 So God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “It is right for me to be angry enough to die!”
神问约拿: “你因这棵蓖麻这样发怒, 对不对呢? ”约拿说: “我发怒以至于死都是对的. ”

4:10 But Yahweh said, “You are troubled about the plant, for which you did not labor nor cause it to grow. It grew up in a night and it perished in a night!
耶和华说: “这棵蓖麻, 不是你栽种的, 也不是你使它长大的, 一夜长成, 一夜死去, 你尚且爱惜它,

4:11 And should I not be concerned about Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand people who do not know right from left, plus many animals?”
何况这尼尼微大城, 其中不晓得分辨左右手的有十二万多人, 并且有许多牲畜, 我怎能不爱惜呢? ”

Micah (弥迦书)

Micah - Chapter 1

1:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, that he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:
在犹大王约坦,亚哈斯,希西家执政的时候, 耶和华的话临到摩利沙人弥迦, 是关于撒玛利亚和耶路撒冷的话.

1:2 Hear, all you peoples; give heed, O earth and its fullness. And let the Lord Yahweh be against you as a witness, the Lord from his holy temple.
万民哪! 你们都要听; 地和地上所遍满的, 你们要聆听; 主耶和华要指证你们的不是, 主必从他的圣殿指证你们的不是.

1:3 For behold, Yahweh is coming out from his place, and he will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
看哪! 耶和华离开自己的地方, 他降下来, 踏在地的高处.

1:4 The mountains will melt under him and the valleys will burst open, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
群山在他脚下融化, 众谷裂开, 如蜡在火前一般, 像水冲下斜坡一般,

1:5 All this is for the rebellion of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the rebellion of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem?
这都是因为雅各的过犯, 以色列家的罪恶. 雅各的过犯是什么呢? 不就是撒玛利亚吗? 犹大家的罪恶是什么呢? 不就是耶路撒冷吗?

1:6 So I will make Samaria as a heap of rubble in the field, a place for planting a vineyard. And I will pour down her stones into the valley and uncover her foundations.
所以我必使撒玛利亚变成田间的废堆, 作栽种葡萄之处; 我必把撒玛利亚的石头倒在谷中, 连它的根基都露出来.

1:7 Then all her idols will be broken in pieces, and all her prostitution wages will be burned in the fire, and all her idols I will make a desolation, For from the wage of a prostitute she gathered them, and to the wage of a prostitute they will return.
它一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎; 它全部的钱财, 都要用火烧尽; 它所有的偶像, 我都要毁灭; 因为从妓女钱财榨取的, 最后也必归为妓女的钱财.

1:8 On account of this I will lament and wail. I will go about barefoot and naked. I will make a lamentation like the jackals, and a mourning ceremony like the ostriches.
为此我要痛哭哀号, 赤膊光脚而行; 又要哀号如豺狼, 悲鸣像鸵鸟.

1:9 For her wounds are incurable, because it has come to Judah. It has reached to the gate of my people, to Jerusalem.
因为撒玛利亚的创伤无法医治, 并且殃及犹大, 直逼我子民的城门, 就是耶路撒冷.

1:10 Do not tell it in Gath; you must not weep at all. In Beth-le-Aphrah roll yourself in dust.
不要在迦特报信, 不要在巴歌哭泣; 却要在伯．亚弗拉打滚于尘土中.

1:11 Pass on, you inhabitants of Shaphir, in naked shame. The inhabitants of Zaanan do not come forth; the wailing of Beth-ha-Ezel will take its protection from you.
沙斐的居民哪! 你们赤身羞愧走过去吧. 撒南的居民不敢出来(“不敢出来”或译: “也逃不掉”); 伯．以薛人的哀号, 要把你们立足之地夺去.

1:12 For the inhabitants of Maroth writhed for good, because disaster has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
玛律的居民, 急待得着幸福, 因有灾祸从耶和华那里降下, 临到耶路撒冷的城门.

1:13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses, O inhabitants of Lachish; it is the beginning of sin for the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
拉吉的居民哪! 要用快马套车, 这就是锡安子民(“子民”原文作“女子”)罪恶的开端; 因为以色列的过犯, 都在你那里找到了.

1:14 Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth-Gath; the houses of Achzib will be a deception to the kings of Israel.
因此要把妆奁, 送给摩利设．迦特; 亚革悉的各家, 必用诡诈对待以色列的众王.

1:15 I will again bring the conqueror upon you, O inhabitants of Mareshah; the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
玛利沙的居民哪! 我要再使那征服你的来到你那里; 以色列的荣耀, 必去到亚杜兰.

1:16 Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair for the children of your pleasure. Expand your baldness as the eagle, for they will go into exile away from you.
犹大啊! 为你所喜爱的儿女, 你要剃头, 使你的头光秃, 完全光秃如同秃鹰; 因为他们都从你那里被掳去了.

Micah - Chapter 2

2:1 Woe to those who plan wickedness and evil deeds upon their beds! In the light of the morning they did it, because they have power in their hands.
那些在床上图谋不义, 并且行恶的人有祸了! 因为他们的手有力量, 天一亮, 就作出来了.

2:2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and they take them away. They oppress a man and his house; a man and his inheritance.
他们要田地, 就去抢夺; 想要房屋, 就去强取. 他们欺压人和他的家眷, 取人和人的产业.

2:3 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: Look! I am planning disaster against this family from which you will not be able to remove your necks. You will not walk proudly, for it is a time of disaster.
因此耶和华这样说: 看哪! 我策划灾祸攻击这家族, 你们无法缩起颈项避开这灾祸. 你们不能昂首而行(“昂首而行”或译: “高视阔步”); 因为这是个灾难的时代.

2:4 In that day they will raise a proverb against you, and will wail a bitter wailing, saying, “We are utterly ruined; he exchanges the portion of my people. How he removes it from me; he apportions our field to an apostate.”
到那日, 必有人作歌讽刺你们, 唱悲伤的哀歌, 说: “我们彻底被毁灭了, 我子民分内的产业, 他竟转给别人了; 他怎可从我这里挪去, 把我们的田地分给掳掠我们的人(“分给掳掠我们的人”或译: “分给背道的人”)! ”

2:5 Therefore you will have no one casting a line by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
因此你在耶和华的会众中, 必没有抽签拉准绳的人了.

2:6 “Do not preach!” they are preaching. They should not preach to these; disgrace will not overtake us.
有人预言说: “你们不要说预言; 人不可预言这些事; 羞耻不会临到我们. ”

2:7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Is the patience of Yahweh shortened? Are these his deeds? Are my words not pleasing to him who walks upright?
雅各家啊! 人怎可说: “耶和华的心着急, 不能忍耐呢? 这些是他的作为吗? ”我耶和华的话对行事正直的人不是有益的吗?

2:8 But recently my people have risen up as an enemy; from before the cloak you strip off the robe from those passing by in confidence, returning from war.
你们却像仇敌一样, 起来攻击我的子民(“你们却像仇敌一样, 起来攻击我的子民”或译: “然而, 我的子民竟兴起来像仇敌一样”); 你们竟从安详过路的人身上剥去衣服, 从不愿作战的人身上剥去外衣.

2:9 You have driven out the women of my people from the houses of their pleasure. From their children you have taken away my glory forever.
你们把我民中的妇女赶逐, 离开欢乐的家园; 你们把我的尊荣, 从她们的婴孩身上夺去, 直到永远.

2:10 Arise and go, for this is no resting place, on account of uncleanness that destroys with painful destruction.
起来, 走吧! 这不是你们安息之地; 你们因为不洁净的缘故, 必被毁灭, 是不可挽救的毁灭.

2:11 If a man walks about in a spirit of deception and lies, saying “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” then he would be a preacher for this people!
若有人随从虚假的心, 撒谎说: “我要向你们说清酒和烈酒的预言. ”那人就是这民的预言家了.

雅各家啊! 我必召集你们所有的人, 聚集以色列的余民; 我要把他们安置在一起, 像羊在羊圈里, 像群羊远离了人, 在草场上喧哗.

2:13 The one who breaks out before them goes up; they break through and pass the gate, going out through it. Their king passes before them, Yahweh at their head.
开路的人领先上去; 他们开路, 闯门进入, 又从门里出来; 他们的王在他们面前走过, 耶和华领导他们.

Micah - Chapter 3

3:1 And I said, “Listen, O heads of Jacob and leaders of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice?
我说: “雅各的首领, 你们要听, 以色列家的官长, 你们也要听; 难道你们不知道公平吗?

3:2 Those of you who are haters of good and lovers of evil, who tear their skin from them and their flesh from their bones,
然而, 你们恨恶良善, 喜爱邪恶, 从人身上剥皮, 从人骨头上剔肉.

3:3 and who eat the flesh of my people, and strip their skin from them, and break their bones, and chop them like meat in the pot, and like flesh in the midst of a cooking pot.”
你们吃我民的肉, 剥他们的皮, 打断他们的骨头, 切成像锅里的块, 像釜中的肉块.

3:4 Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. He will hide his face from them at that time, when they have made their deeds evil.
那时, 他们要向耶和华呼求, 耶和华却不应允他们. 到那时, 耶和华必掩面不顾他们, 因为他们行了恶事. ”

3:5 Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who are leading my people astray, who are biting with their teeth and proclaim, “Peace,” but whoever puts nothing into their mouths they declare war against.
关于那些使我民走迷路的先知, 耶和华这样说: “他们的牙齿有所咀嚼的时候, 就大叫‘平安’; 谁不把食物给他们吃, 他们就攻击那人. ”

3:6 Therefore it will be as night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without divination. And the sun will set on the prophets, and the day will grow dark over them.
因此你们只有黑夜, 没有异象, 只有黑暗, 没有默示. 对先知, 日头要下落, 为他们, 白日变为黑暗.

3:7 Then the seers will be disgraced, and those practicing divination will be put to shame. All of them will cover their lips, for there is no reply from God.
先见必抱愧, 得默示的人要蒙羞; 他们都必掩着上唇, 因为没有神的答复.

3:8 But I, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of Yahweh, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his rebellion, and to Israel his sin.
至于我, 我却借着耶和华的灵, 满有力量,公平和能力, 可以向雅各述说他的过犯, 向以色列指出他的罪恶.

3:9 Hear this, O rulers of the house of Jacob and leaders of the house of Israel, those detesting justice and perverting all that is right,
雅各家的首领, 你们要听这个, 以色列家的官长, 你们也要听; 你们厌恶公平, 屈枉正直,

3:10 he who builds Zion with blood and Jerusalem with wickedness.
用人血建锡安, 以罪孽造耶路撒冷.

3:11 Its rulers judge for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money. But they lean on Yahweh, saying, “Is not Yahweh in our midst? Disaster will not come upon us.”
城中的首领为贿赂而审判, 祭司为薪俸而教导, 先知为银子说默示, 他们竟倚靠耶和华, 说: “耶和华不是在我们中间吗? 灾祸必不会临到我们身上. ”

3:12 Therefore on account of you Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will be a heap of rubble, and the temple mount as a high place in a forest.
所以, 为你们的缘故, 锡安必像被耕种的田地, 耶路撒冷必变为乱堆, 这殿的山要成为丛林中的高冈.

Micah - Chapter 4

4:1 And it will be that at the end of those days, the mountain of Yahweh will be established as the highest of the mountains, and it will be lifted up above the hills, and people will stream to it.
到末后的日子, 耶和华殿的山, 必矗立在万山之上, 高举过于万岭; 万民都要流归这山.

4:2 And many nations will come and say, “Come! Let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the temple of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways, and that we may walk in his paths,” for the law will go out from Zion, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
必有多国的人前来说: “来吧! 我们上耶和华的山, 登雅各神的殿; 他必把他的道路指示我们, 我们也要遵行他的道; 因为教训必出于锡安. 耶和华的话要来自耶路撒冷.

4:3 And he will judge between many peoples and will arbitrate for strong nations far away; and they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift up a sword against a nation, and they will no longer learn war.
“他要在多族中施行审判, 为远方的强国断定是非. 他们必把刀剑打成犁头, 把矛枪打成镰刀; 这国不举刀攻击那国, 他们也不再学习战事.

4:4 But they will sit, each under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.
各人都要坐在自己的葡萄树, 和无花果树下, 无人惊吓他们, 因为万军之耶和华亲口说过了.

4:5 For all the nations walk, each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God, forever and ever.
虽然, 万民各奉自己神的名行事, 我们却要永远奉耶和华我们神的名而行. ”

4:6 “In that day,” declares Yahweh, “I will assemble the one who limps, and I will gather the one who has been scattered, and those whom I have mistreated.
耶和华说: “到那日, 我必召聚瘸腿的, 集合被赶散的, 和我所苦待的.

4:7 And I will make the one who limps a remnant, and the one driven far away a strong nation, and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from now to forever.
我必使瘸腿的作余民; 使软弱疲乏的成为强国; 耶和华必在锡安山作王统治他们, 从现在直到永远.

4:8 And you, O Migdal-Eder, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, and the former dominion will come, the reign of the daughter of Jerusalem.
你这羊群的守望楼啊! 锡安女子的俄斐勒啊! 从前的权柄, 必归给你, 就是耶路撒冷女子的国权, 要归还给你.

4:9 So then, why do you shout a loud shout? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished that pangs like a woman in labor have seized you?
现在你为什么大声呼喊? 难道你们中间没有君王吗? 或是你的谋士灭亡了, 以致疼痛抓紧你, 好像临产的妇人呢?

4:10 Writhe and groan, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will go forth from the city, and you will camp in the field; you will go to Babylon. There you will be rescued; there Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
锡安的女子啊! 你要疼痛劬劳, 好像临产的妇人; 因为现在你要从城里出来, 住在田野, 一定要到巴比伦去; 在那里你要蒙拯救, 在那里耶和华必救赎你, 脱离仇敌的掌握.

4:11 And now, many nations are gathered against you who are saying, ‘Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.’
现在多国的民集合起来, 攻击你, 说: ‘愿锡安被蹂躏, 愿我们亲眼看见锡安遭报应. ’”

4:12 But they do not know the thoughts of Yahweh, and they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to his threshing floor.
但是, 他们却不知道耶和华的意念, 也不明白他的谋略; 他收集他们, 好像把禾捆收集到禾场一样.

4:13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for your horn I will make as iron and your hooves as bronze. And you will break many peoples in pieces, and their gain you will devote to destruction to Yahweh, and their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.”
锡安的女子啊! 起来踹谷吧! 因为我必使你的角成为铁, 使你的蹄成为铜; 你必粉碎许多民族, 把他们所得的, 作为当灭之物献与耶和华, 把他们的财宝献给全地的主.

Micah - Chapter 5

5:1 Now muster troops, O daughter of troops; a siege he puts against us. They strike the ruler of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
女子啊! 现在你要聚集成队; 仇敌正在围攻我们; 他们用杖击打以色列执政的脸颊.

5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you one will go out for me, to be ruler in Israel; and his origins are from of old, from ancient days.
伯利恒以法他啊! 你在犹大诸城中虽然细小(“伯利恒......细小”有古卷作“以法他家啊, 你在犹大诸族中虽然细小”), 必有一位从你那里出来, 为我作以色列的统治者; 他的根源从太初, 从亘古就有了.

5:3 Therefore he will give them up until the time of she who is with child has given birth. And the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
因此, 耶和华必把以色列人交给敌人, 直到那要生产的妇人生下儿子来; 那时, 他其余的兄弟, 就必归回以色列人那里.

5:6 And they will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at its entrances. And he will rescue us from the Assyrian when he comes into our land, and when they tread upon our border.
他们必用刀剑治理亚述地, 必用剑锋治理宁录地; 亚述人入侵我们的国土, 践踏我们境界的时候, 他必拯救我们脱离亚述人的手.

5:12 And I will cut off sorceries from your hand, and you will not have soothsayers.
我必从你的手中除掉巫术, 你那里就不再有占卜的;

5:13 And I will cut off your idols and your stone pillars from among you, and you will no longer bow down to the work of your hands.
我必从你中间除掉你雕刻的偶像和柱像, 你就不再跪拜你手所做的;

5:14 And I will uproot your Asherahs from among you, and I will destroy your cities.
我必从你中间除灭你的亚舍拉, 毁灭你的偶像.

5:15 And in anger and in wrath I will execute vengeance on the nations who did not obey.”
我必在忿怒和烈怒中, 向那些不听从的列国施行报复. ”

Micah - Chapter 6

6:1 Hear now what Yahweh says: “Arise! Plead your case with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.”
你们当听耶和华所说的话: “你要起来, 向大山争辩, 让小山可以听见你的声音.

6:2 Hear, O mountains, the indictment of Yahweh, and you eternal foundations of the earth, for Yahweh has an indictment against his people, and against Israel he contends.
大山啊! 你们要听耶和华的争辩. 大地永久的根基啊! 你们要听, 因为耶和华与他的子民争辩, 和以色列争论.

6:3 “O my people, what have I done to you, and how have I wearied you? Answer me!
我的子民啊, 我向你作了什么呢? 我在什么事上叫你厌烦呢? 你可以回答我.

6:4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and from the house of slavery I redeemed you. And I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
我曾经把你从埃及地领上来, 把你从为奴之家赎出来; 我也差派了摩西,亚伦和米利暗在你前面行.

6:5 O my people, remember what Balak the king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you might know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
我的民哪! 你们要追念, 摩押王巴勒图谋过什么, 比珥的儿子巴兰又答应了他什么, 以及你们从什亭到吉甲所发生的事, 好使你们知道耶和华公义的作为. ”

6:6 With what shall I approach Yahweh, and bow down to God on high? Shall I approach him with burnt offerings, with bull calves a year old?
我朝见耶和华, 在至高的神面前叩拜, 当献上什么呢? 我朝见他的时候, 当献上燔祭, 当献上一岁的牛犊吗?

6:7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, with myriads of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
耶和华喜悦千千的公羊, 或是万万的油河吗? 为我的过犯, 我可以献上我的长子吗? 为我的罪恶, 献上我亲生的孩子吗?

6:8 He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does Yahweh ask from you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
世人哪! 耶和华已经指示你什么是善, 他向你所要的又是什么; 无非是要你行公义, 好怜悯, 谦虚谨慎与你的神同行.

6:9 The voice of Yahweh calls to the city (it is sound judgment to fear your name): “Hear, O staff! Now who has appointed it?
听啊! 耶和华向这城呼叫, 敬畏你的名就是智慧; 支派和城里的会众啊! 你们要听.

6:10 Is there any longer a man in the house of the wicked treasures of wickedness, and the ephah of scarcity which is accursed?
我怎能忘记恶人家中的不义之财, 和那些可咒诅的小升斗呢?

6:11 Shall I regard as pure the one with scales of wickedness, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
用不义的天平, 和袋中诈骗的法码的人, 我怎能算他为清洁呢?

6:12 Because her rich are full of violence, and her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
城里的财主充满了强暴, 其中的居民也说假话; 他们口中的舌头是诡诈的.

6:13 And I also have made you sick by striking you down, making you desolate because of your sins.
因此我击打你, 使你生病, 因你的罪恶, 使你荒凉.

6:14 You yourself will eat but not be satisfied; your hunger will be in your midst, and you will put away, but you will not save, and what you save I will hand over to the sword.
你要吃, 却吃不饱; 因你的腹中常有疾病. 你要怀孕, 却不能生下来; 你生下来的, 我都要交给刀剑.

6:15 You yourself will sow, but you will not reap; you will tread olives, but you will not anoint yourself with oil; you will tread grapes, but you will not drink wine.
你要撒种, 却不得收割, 你要榨橄榄油, 却不得油抹身; 你要榨葡萄汁, 却不得酒喝.

6:16 For you have observed the regulations of Omri and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you have walked in their counsels, so that I am making you a desolation and your inhabitants an object of scorn. So you will bear the scorn of my people.
你跟随了暗利的规例和亚哈家一切所行的, 顺从了他们的计谋; 因此, 我必使你荒凉, 使你(“你”原文作“她”)的居民被嗤笑; 你们也必担当我民的羞辱.

Micah - Chapter 7

7:1 Woe is me! For I have become like the gatherings of summer, like the gleanings of the grape harvest, when there is no cluster of grapes to eat or early ripened fruit that my soul desires.
我有祸了! 因为我好像夏天采摘的果子, 又像摘剩的葡萄, 没有一挂可吃的, 也没有我心所想望早熟的无花果.

7:2 The faithful person has perished from the land, and there is none who is upright among humankind. All of them lie in wait; each hunts his brother with a net.
虔敬的人从地上灭绝了, 人间也没有正直的人, 人人都埋伏着要流人的血, 各人都用网罗猎取自己的兄弟.

7:3 Their hands are upon evil, to do it well; the official and the judge ask for the bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; and they weave it together.
他们双手善于作恶, 官长和审判官都要求报酬; 达官贵人说出心里的欲望; 他们歪曲了一切.

7:4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchman, your punishment, has come; now their confusion will come.
他们中最好的, 也不过像荆棘, 最正直的, 也不过是有刺的篱笆. 你的守望者所预言的日子, 和你被鉴察的时候, 已经来到; 现在他们必要慌乱不安.

7:5 Do not put faith in a friend; put no trust in a close friend. Guard the doorways of your mouth from the one who lies in your lap.
不可信靠邻舍, 也不可信任朋友, 要守住你的嘴唇, 不可向躺在你怀中的妻子透露.

7:6 For a son treats a father with contempt; a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; the enemies of a man are the men of his own house.
儿子藐视父亲, 女儿抗拒母亲, 媳妇与婆婆作对; 人的仇敌就是自己的家人.

7:7 But as for me, I will look to Yahweh; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
至于我, 我却要仰望耶和华, 我要等候那拯救我的神; 我的神必应允我.

7:8 You should not rejoice over me, O my enemy! When I fall I will stand up; when I sit in darkness Yahweh will be a light for me.
我的仇敌啊! 不要因我的遭遇而高兴; 我虽然跌倒了, 却必起来; 我虽然坐在黑暗里, 耶和华却必作我的光.

7:9 I will bear the rage of Yahweh, for I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes my justice. He will bring me out to the light; I will see his righteousness.
我要担当耶和华的忿怒, 因为我得罪了他, 直到他审断我的案件, 为我主持公道; 他必把我领出来, 到光明中去, 我就得见他的公义.

7:10 Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will look upon her; now she will become a trampling place, like mud in the streets.
我的仇敌看见了, 就必蒙羞, 就是那曾经对我说: “耶和华你的神在哪里”的人, 我必亲眼看见他遭报; 那时, 他必被人践踏, 好像街上的泥土.

7:11 A day for building your walls; on that day he will extend your boundary.
必有一天, 你要重建你的城墙; 到那日, 你的地界必扩展到远方.

7:12 On that day he will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the River, and from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
那日, 必有人来归你, 从亚述到埃及, 从埃及到大河, 从这海到那海, 从这山到那山, 必有人来归你.

7:13 But the earth will be a desolation because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their deeds.
然而, 大地因其中居民的缘故, 又因他们行为的恶果, 必一片荒凉.

7:14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, those dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
求你用你的杖牧放你的子民, 就是你产业的羊群, 他们安然独居在树林里, 在佳美的田园中; 愿他们在巴珊和基列得着牧养, 像古时一样.

7:15 As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt I will show him wondrous things.
就像你从埃及地出来的时候一样, 把奇事显给我们看.

7:16 The nations will see and be ashamed because of all their might. They will lay the hand on the mouth; their ears will be deaf.
愿万国看见, 就为自己的一切势力而惭愧; 愿他们用手掩口, 耳朵变聋.

7:17 They will lick the dust like the serpent, like the crawling things of the earth. They will come trembling from their strongholds to Yahweh our God. Let them fear and be afraid of you.
愿他们舔土像蛇, 又像在地上腹行的动物. 愿他们战战兢兢地从他们的要塞出来, 带着惊慌的心来到耶和华我们的神那里, 因你的缘故而惧怕.

7:18 Who is a God like you, forgiving sin and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, for he delights in loyal love.
有何神像你, 赦免罪孽, 不追究产业之余民的过犯呢? 他不永远怀怒, 因为他喜爱怜悯.

7:19 He will again have compassion on us; he will trample our iniquities. And you will hurl all their sins in the depths of the sea.
他必再怜爱我们, 把我们的罪孽都践踏在脚下, 又把我们的一切罪恶都投在深海里.

7:20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and loyal love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old.
你必向雅各显诚实, 向亚伯拉罕施慈爱, 就是古时, 你起誓应许我们列祖的.

Nahum (那鸿书)

Nahum - Chapter 1

1:1 The oracle concerning Nineveh— the scroll of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
以下是对尼尼微的宣判, 就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿的异象录.

1:2 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenging; Yahweh is avenging and full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance against his enemies; he rages against his adversaries.
耶和华是嫉恶和施行报复的神; 耶和华施行报复, 并且满怀烈怒; 耶和华向他的对头施行报复, 向他的仇敌怀怒.

1:3 Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power; he will certainly not allow the guilty to go unpunished. He marches in storm wind and in gale; storm clouds are the dust of his feet.
耶和华不轻易发怒, 可是大有能力; 他绝不以有罪的为无罪. 耶和华乘着狂风暴雨而来, 云彩是他脚下的尘土.

1:4 He rebukes the sea and he dries up the rivers; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither; the blossom of Lebanon languishes.
他一斥责海, 海就干了; 他使一切江河枯干. 巴珊和迦密的树林枯槁, 黎巴嫩的花卉凋残.

1:5 Mountains quake before him; the hills shake apart. The earth heaves before him— the world and all her inhabitants.
大山在他面前震动, 小山也都融化; 大地在他面前废去, 世界和所有住在世上的, 也都这样.

1:6 His indignation—who can stand before it? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; rocks are shattered before him.
在他盛怒之下, 谁能站得住呢? 他的烈怒谁能受得了呢? 他的忿怒像火一般喷出来, 磐石在他面前都崩裂了.

1:7 Yahweh is good—a refuge in the day of distress; he knows those who take refuge in him.
耶和华是良善的; 在患难的时候, 他作人的避难所; 信靠他的人, 他都认识.

1:8 But with a rushing torrent he will bring Nineveh to an end; he will chase his enemies into darkness.
但他必用泛滥的洪水, 尽行毁灭尼尼微之地, 把他的仇敌赶入黑暗之中.

1:9 What do you plot against Yahweh? He will completely destroy it; trouble will not rise up a second time!
尼尼微人哪, 你们对耶和华还有什么企图? 他必尽行毁灭; 患难必不再次来临.

1:10 For like entangled thorns, and like their drink which is drunk, they will be consumed like fully dry chaff.
他们像缠结着的荆棘, 像喝醉了的酒徒, 又像枯干的禾秸, 全都被吞灭了.

1:11 From you goes out one who plots evil against Yahweh, one who plans wickedness.
有人从你那里出来, 就是筹划奸恶的人, 图谋恶事攻击耶和华.

1:12 Yahweh says this: “Even though they are powerful and likewise many, even so they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
耶和华这样说: 尼尼微人虽然装备完整, 人数众多, 他们仍必被剪除, 这样就完了. 我既然使你受过苦, 就一定不再叫你受苦了.

1:13 And now, I will break his yoke from upon you; I will snap your bonds.”
犹大啊! 现在我必粉碎他在你身上的轭, 打断你的锁链.

1:14 Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “Your name will no longer be sown. I will cut off the idols and images from the temple of your gods; I will send you to the grave because you are worthless.”
尼尼微啊! 耶和华已经向你下了命令: 你的名字必不再传于后世; 我必从你的神庙中, 除掉雕刻和铸造的偶像; 我必为你预备坟墓, 因为你没有存在的价值.

1:15 Look! On the mountains! The feet of the one who brings good tidings, the one who proclaims peace! “Celebrate a festival, O Judah, Fulfill your vows! For he will not invade you again; the wicked one is cut off completely!”
看哪! 那传报佳音,宣告和平之人的脚, 已经站在山上, 说: 犹大啊! 守你的节期, 还你的愿吧! 因为那奸恶的人永不会再从你中间经过; 他已被彻底除灭了.

Nahum - Chapter 2

2:1 One who shatters has come up against you! Guard the fortification! Watch the road! Gird your loins! Muster all your strength!
尼尼微啊! 那分散邦国的必上来攻击你, 你要固守堡垒, 严防要道, 束紧你的腰, 大大增强你的力量.

2:2 For Yahweh will restore the majesty of Jacob like the majesty of Israel; for ravagers have ravaged them and ruined their branches.
然而, 耶和华必恢复雅各的光荣, 好像以色列的光荣一样; 因为劫掠的人曾把他们劫掠一空, 又把他们的葡萄枝子毁坏了.

2:3 The shields of his warriors are dyed red; The powerful men are dressed in scarlet. The metal of the chariots shines like fire on the day of battle, and their spears quiver.
他勇士的盾牌是红的, 战士的衣服是朱红的. 在他预备出击的时候, 战车的钢铁闪烁如火, 骑兵疾驰.

2:4 The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush back and forth in the public squares. Their appearance like lightning bolts, they dart about like flashes of lightning.
战车在街上狂奔, 在广场上东奔西驰; 它们看起来像火把, 跑起来像闪电.

2:5 He calls his officers; they stumble as they march; they rush to her wall; they set the covering in place.
亚述王召集他的权臣, 他们碰碰跌跌而来, 急急忙忙走上城墙, 竖起了防御的挡牌.

2:6 The gates of the river are opened; the palace trembles.
河闸都被打开, 宫殿也给摧毁了.

2:7 Her goddess is taken out and taken into exile; her maidservants moan like doves; they beat on their breasts.
王后赤身被掳去; 她的宫女都哀哭, 声如鸽子, 各人捶胸痛哭.

2:8 Nineveh is like a pool of water without its water. As they flee, she cries, “Stop! Stop!” But there is no one who turns back.
自古以来, 尼尼微一直都像个水池, 池水不断流出; 虽然有人呼叫: “止住! 止住! ”却没有回转的.

2:9 Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! There is no end to the spoils, an abundance of everything one could want!
你们劫掠银子, 抢夺金子吧! 积蓄的财宝无穷无尽, 珍贵的器皿不可胜数.

2:10 Emptiness and plundering and devastation! Their hearts faint and their knees tremble, All their loins shake and all their faces turn pale.
现在却空虚,荒凉, 一无所有; 人心惊惶, 两膝发抖, 全身疼痛, 面无血色.

2:11 Where now is the den of the lions and the cave of the fierce lions? There the lioness, the cub, and the lion once prowled, and no one disturbed them.
狮子的洞穴在哪里? 喂养幼狮的地方在哪里? 公狮,母狮和幼狮不受惊吓之处, 可以闲游的地方又在哪里呢?

2:12 The lion tore apart enough prey for his cubs, he strangled prey for his lioness; he filled his lair with prey and his den with mangled carcass.
公狮为幼狮撕碎足够的食物, 为母狮掐死活物; 把猎物塞满了它的洞, 把撕碎的填满了它的穴.

2:13 “Look! I am against you!” declares Yahweh of hosts. “I will burn her chariots with fire; the sword will devour fierce lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth; the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
万军之耶和华说: 看哪! 我必攻击你, 我要把你的战车焚烧成烟, 刀剑必吞灭你的幼狮; 我必从地上除去你的猎物, 你使者的声音也必不再有人听见.

Nahum - Chapter 3

3:1 Woe to the city that has shed much blood! She is a deceiver, She is filled with plunder, She has hoarded her spoils of war.
这流人血的城, 有祸了! 全城欺诈, 充满劫掠; 抢夺的事总不止息.

3:2 The crack of the whip! The rumbling of the chariot wheel! The galloping of the horse! The racing of the chariot!
鞭声飕飕, 轮声辚辚, 骏马奔驰, 战车颠簸跳动.

3:3 Chariots charge! Swords flash! Spears glitter! Many corpses are piled high! There is no end to the slain! They stumble over their dead!
骑兵腾跃冲锋; 刀剑烁烁发亮, 枪矛闪闪生光; 被杀的人众多, 死尸成堆; 尸体无数, 众人都被尸体绊倒.

3:4 “Because of the many idolatries of the prostitute, the beautiful charm of a mistress of witchcraft, she who enslaves nations by her harlotries, and peoples by her sorceries,
都因妓女多有淫行, 施邪术的美丽女巫, 借着她的淫行诱惑列国, 借着她的邪术欺骗万族.

3:5 “Look! I am against you!” declaresYahweh. “I will strip up your skirts over your face; I will let nations look at your nakedness and your shame.
万军之耶和华说: 看哪! 我必攻击你; 我要把你的裙子掀到你的脸上, 使万国看见你赤身露体, 使列邦看见你的羞耻.

3:6 “I will throw filth upon you, I will treat you with contempt, I will make you a spectacle.
我要把污秽可憎之物拋在你身上, 侮辱你, 使你成为众人观看的对象.

3:7 “And it will be that everyone who sees you will flee from you, And they will say, ‘Nineveh is destroyed!’ Who will mourn for her? From whence shall I seek comforters for you?”
看见你的都必逃避你, 说: “尼尼微荒凉了; 有谁为她悲哀呢? ”我在哪里可以找到安慰你的人呢?

3:8 Are you better than Thebes? She who sits at the Nile, surrounded by her waters, her rampart was the sea and water was her wall.
你比挪亚们还强吗? 挪亚们位于尼罗河流域, 周围有水环绕; 海是她的屏障, 水作她的墙垣.

3:9 Cush was her strength, Egypt without end; Put and Libya were among your allies.
古实和埃及, 是她无穷的力量, 弗人和路比族, 是她的助手.

3:10 Yet she went into captivity as an exile; her children were dashed to pieces at the head of the streets; they cast lots for all of her nobles; all of her dignitaries were bound with chains.
然而她却被迁徙, 被掳去了; 她的婴孩在各街头被摔死; 人们为她的尊贵人抽签. 她所有的达官贵人都被锁链捆着.

3:11 You also will behave like a drunkard; You also will hide yourself; You also will seek refuge from the enemy.
至于你, 你必喝醉, 必被隐藏; 你必因仇敌的缘故, 寻找避难所.

3:12 All of your fortifications are like fig trees with ripe firstfruits— if they are shaken, they will fall into the mouth of the eater.
你一切堡垒, 如同无花果树上初熟的果子, 若被摇撼, 就必落在想吃的人口中.

3:13 Look! Your troops are like women in your midst. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire will consume the bars of your gates.
看哪! 在你里面的人都是妇女, 你境内的门户, 都向仇敌敞开; 你的门闩被火烧毁.

3:14 Draw water for a siege! Strengthen your fortifications! Go to the mud pit! Trample the clay! Grasp the brick mold!
你要打水, 以备围困, 巩固你的堡垒, 踹泥踏土, 紧握砖模.

3:15 There fire will consume you; the sword will cut you off. It will consume you like the locust. Multiply yourself like the locust! Multiply yourself like the grasshopper!
在那里火要烧灭你, 刀剑要除灭你, 吞吃你, 好像吞吃蚱蜢一样, 你只管增多如蚱蜢, 加添像蝗虫,

3:16 You have increased your merchants more than the stars of heaven; like the locust they will shed their skin and fly away.
你增加了你的商人, 多过天上的星辰. 蚱蜢退了壳, 就飞去了.

3:17 Your officials are like locusts; your commanders are like a swarm of locusts. They encamp on the walls on a cold day; when the sun rises, they fly away— no one knows where they have gone.
你的领袖多如蝗虫, 你的军长像一群群的蚂蚱; 天凉的时候, 停留在篱笆上; 太阳一出, 就都飞走了; 没有人知道它们在什么地方.

3:18 Your shepherds are sleeping, O king of Assyria! Your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the mountains; no one can gather them.
亚述王啊! 你的牧人睡觉, 你的贵族安歇, 你的子民分散在各山上, 没有人招聚他们.

3:19 There is no healing for your wound; your injury is fatal. All who hear the report of you will clap their hands for joy concerning you, For who has not suffered at the hands of your endless cruelty?
你的创伤无法医治; 你受的打击非常严重. 听见你这消息的, 都必向你鼓掌; 因为你不断行恶, 谁没有受过害呢?

Habakkuk (哈巴谷书)

Habakkuk - Chapter 1

1:1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
哈巴谷先知所得的默示.

1:2 O Yahweh, how long shall I cry for help and you will not listen? How long will I cry out to you, “Violence!” and you will not save?
耶和华啊! 我恳求, 你不垂听, 要到几时呢? 我向你呼叫“有狂暴的事”, 你却不拯救.

1:3 Why do you cause me to see evil while you look at trouble? Destruction and violence happen before me; contention and strife arise.
你为什么使我看见恶行? 有奸恶的事, 你为什么见而不理? 毁灭和强暴在我面前, 纷争和相斗常常发生.

1:4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice does not go forth perpetually. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
因此律法不能生效(“律法不能生效”原文作“律法松懈”), 公理无法彰显. 因为恶人把义人包围, 所以公理颠倒.

1:5 “Look among the nations and see; be astonished and astounded. For a work is about to be done in your days that you will not believe if it is told.
你们当看列国, 要定睛观看, 就会大大惊奇, 因为在你们的日子, 我要作一件事, 即使有人说了出来, 你们也不会相信.

1:6 For look! I am raising up the Chaldeans, the bitter and impetuous nation, the one who walks through the spacious places of earth to take possession of dwellings not belonging to it.
就是要兴起迦勒底人, 那残忍凶暴的民; 他们遍行全地, 占领别人的家园.

1:7 They are dreadful and awesome; their justice and their dignity proceed from themselves.
他们恐怖可怕, 自以为义, 趾高气扬.

1:8 Their horses are more swift than leopards; they are more menacing than wolves at dusk. Their horsemen gallop; their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle that is swift to devour.
他们的马比豹更快, 比晚上的豺狼更猛. 他们的骑兵奔驰, 自远而来; 他们如鹰飞翔, 迅速吞噬.

1:9 All of them come for violence, their faces pressing forward. They gather captives like the sand.
他们定着脸面向前, 齐来行暴, 掳获战俘多如尘沙.

1:10 And they themselves scoff at kings and rulers are a joke to them. They laugh at every fortification, and they heap up earth and take it.
他们戏弄君王, 以掌权的为笑柄; 他们嗤笑一切城堡, 筑垒攻取;

1:11 Then they sweep like the wind and pass on; they become guilty, whose might is their god!”
然后扫荡如风吹过. 他们是有罪的, 因他们以自己的势力为神.

1:12 Are you not from of old, O Yahweh my God, my Holy One? You shall not die. O Yahweh, you have marked them for judgment; O Rock, you have established them for reproof.
耶和华我的神, 我的圣者啊! 你不是自古就有的吗? 我们不会死的. 耶和华啊! 你派他们行审判. 磐石啊! 你立他们施惩罚.

1:13 Your eyes are too pure to see evil, and you are not able to look at wrongdoing. Why do you look at the treacherous? Why are you silent when the wicked swallows up someone more righteous than him?
你的眼目纯洁, 不看邪恶, 不能坐视奸恶; 为什么见行诡诈的人而不理? 恶人吞灭比自己公义的人, 你为什么缄默呢?

1:14 You make humankind like fish of the sea, like crawling creatures that have no ruler among them.
你竟使人像海里的鱼, 像无人管辖的爬虫类.

1:15 He brings up all of them with a fishhook; he drags them up with a fishnet; he gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore, he rejoices and exults.
迦勒底人既用钩把他们钓起来, 用网拖走, 用鱼网收聚在一处, 就欢喜快乐,

1:16 Therefore he sacrifices to his fishnet and makes offerings to his dragnet, for by them he makes a good living and his food is rich.
向自己的网献祭, 对鱼网烧香, 因他们借此收获丰富, 饮食充裕.

1:17 Will he therefore empty his fishnet and continually kill nations without showing mercy?
这样, 他们倒空自己的网, 毫不留情地继续杀戮列国.

Habakkuk - Chapter 2

2:1 I will stand at my post, and station myself on the rampart. And I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint.
我要站在哨岗, 立在城楼, 留心看耶和华在我里面说什么, 怎样使我答复自己的怨诉.

2:2 Then Yahweh answered me and said, “Write the vision and make it plain on the tablet so that it might be read quickly.
耶和华回答我说: “把异象写下, 记在泥版上, 使读的人容易明白,

2:3 For there is yet a vision for the appointed time; it will give witness to the end, and it will not lie. If it tarries, wait for it, for it will surely come and not delay.
因这异象关乎一定的日期, 很快就要实现, 决不徒然; 纵有迟延, 仍当等候, 因为它一定会来到, 绝不耽误. ”

2:4 Look! His spirit within him is puffed up; it is not upright. But the righteous shall live by his faithfulness.
迦勒底人自高自大, 心不正直; 然而义人必因信得生(“必因信得生”或译: “必因他的信实得生”).

2:5 How much less the defiant; the arrogant, treacherous man? He who broadens his throat like Sheol, and who, like death, is not satisfied, and who gathers to himself all the nations, and harvested for himself all the peoples, will not succeed.
财富(传统作“酒”, 今照死海古卷译作“财富”)使人奸诈狂傲, 不得安宁; 扩张欲望, 如同阴间; 又像死亡, 永不满足. 他们招聚万国, 集合万民, 都归自己.

2:6 Shall not all of these take up a taunt against him, with ridicule and riddles against him, saying, ‘Woe to him who heaps up what is not his’? For how long? And, ‘Woe to him who makes himself heavy with pledges’?

众民劳碌得来的, 被火焚烧; 列国辛劳而得的, 终归无有. 这不都出于万军之耶和华吗?

你满有羞辱, 没有尊荣, 你也喝到露出下体来吧! 耶和华右手的杯必传回来给你, 使极大的羞辱取代你的尊荣.

2:18 What value is an idol when its carver has fashioned it, a molten idol, a teacher of lies? For he who fashioned his creation trusts in it, though making mute idols!
雕刻的像有什么用处呢? 不过是匠人雕刻出来的; 铸造的像,虚假的教师, 有什么用处呢? 匠人竟倚靠自己所做, 那不能说话的假神.

2:19 Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Wake up!’ And to a lifeless stone, ‘Arise!’ Can he teach? Look, it is covered with gold and silver, and there is no breath within it.
你这对木头说“起来”, 对哑石说“醒吧”的人, 有祸了! 它怎能教导你呢? 看哪! 它包金镶银, 里面却全无气息.

然而耶和华在他的圣殿里, 全地当在他面前肃静.

大利乌王第二年六月一日, 耶和华的话借着哈该先知临到撒拉铁的儿子,犹大省长所罗巴伯, 和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚, 说:

1:5 And so then, thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Consider your ways!
现在万军之耶和华这样说: “你们要反省自己的行为.

1:6 You have sown much but have harvested little. You have eaten without being satisfied; you have drunk without being satiated; you have worn clothes without being warm; the one who earns wages puts it in a pouch with holes.’
你们撒的种多, 收割的却少; 你们吃, 却吃不饱; 你们喝, 却喝不足; 你们穿衣服, 却穿不暖; 得工钱的, 却把工钱放在破袋里. ”

“你们期望丰收, 反倒歉收; 你们收到家里的, 我就吹去. ”为什么呢? 万军之耶和华说: “因为我的殿宇荒废, 你们各人却为自己的房屋奔驰.

1:10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld the dew and the earth has withheld its produce.
所以, 因你们的缘故, 天就不降甘露, 地也不出土产.

1:11 I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil, on what the soil produces, on human beings and wild animals, and on all their labor.’ ”
我叫干旱临到大地,群山,五谷,新酒,新油,地上的出产,人畜和人手劳碌得来的一切. ”

1:12 Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people gave heed to the voice of Yahweh their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God had sent him, and the people feared Yahweh.

2:2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
“你要对撒拉铁的儿子犹大省长所罗巴伯, 和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚, 以及所有余剩的子民, 说:

2:3 ‘Who among you is left that saw this house in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Does it seem like nothing to you?
‘你们中间剩下的人, 有谁见过这殿宇从前的荣耀呢? 现在你们又看它怎样? 岂不是视如无物一样吗? ’”

2:4 ‘But now take courage, Zerubbabel,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Take courage, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and take courage, all the people of the land,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Do the work, because I am with you,’ declares Yahweh of hosts,
耶和华说: “所罗巴伯啊! 现在你要刚强. ”耶和华说: “约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚啊! 你要刚强; 这地的一切子民啊! 你们也要刚强, 并且要作工. ”万军之耶和华说: “因为我与你们同在.

2:5 ‘according to the promise that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. My spirit is with you; do not be afraid.’
这就是你们从埃及出来的时候, 我与你们立约的话. 现在我的灵住在你们中间; 你们不要惧怕. ”

2:6 For thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Once again, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and dry land.
因为万军之耶和华这样说: “再过不多的时候, 我要震动天,地,海洋和旱地. ”

2:7 I will shake all the nations so that the treasure of all the nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “我要震动万国, 万国的珍宝就必运来; 我要使这殿宇充满荣耀. ”

2:8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “银子是我的, 金子也是我的. ”

2:9 ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give peace’ declares Yahweh of hosts.’ ”
万军之耶和华说: “这殿宇后来的荣耀, 必大过先前的荣耀. ”万军之耶和华说: “在这地方, 我必赐下平安. ”

2:10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Haggai, saying,
大利乌王第二年九月二十四日, 耶和华的话临到哈该先知说:

2:11 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Ask now the priests for a ruling:
“万军之耶和华这样说: 你要向祭司询问有关律法的事说:

2:12 If a man carries consecrated meat in the hem of his garment, and his hem touches bread, or stew, or wine, or olive oil, or any kind of food, will it become holy?’ ” The priests answered, “No.”
人若用自己的衣襟盛载圣肉, 后来又使自己的衣襟触着饼,汤,酒,油或别的食物, 这就算为圣吗? ”祭司都回答说: “不算为圣. ”

2:13 Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean from contact with a corpse touches any of these, will it become unclean?” The priests answered, “Yes, it will be become unclean.”
哈该又说: “人若因触着尸体而成为不洁, 又触着这些东西的任何一样, 这就算为不洁吗? ”祭司都回答说: “要算为不洁净. ”

2:14 And Haggai answered and said, “ ‘So it is with this people, and with this nation before me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and so it is with every kind of work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
于是哈该回答, 说: “耶和华说: ‘这民也是这样, 这国在我面前也是这样; 他们手里的一切工作, 都是这样; 他们在那里所献的, 都是不洁净的. ’

2:15 But now, please consider from this day forward, before one stone was placed on another in the temple of Yahweh,
“现在你们要反省, 从今日起回想过往, 就是在耶和华的殿还没有一块石头叠在另一块石头上面以前,

2:16 from that time when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten, and when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, there were only twenty.
那时你们怎样呢? 有人到谷堆来, 想得两百公斤谷, 却只得一百公斤; 有人到榨酒池去, 想从酒槽得一百公升酒, 却只得四十公升.

2:17 I struck you with blight, and with plant mildew, and hail, all the work of your hands. But you did not come back to me,’ declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: ‘我用旱风,霉烂和冰雹击打你们, 和你们手里的一切工作, 你们还是不归向我.

2:18 ‘Please consider from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider:
你们要反省, 从今日起回想过往, 就是自九月二十四日起, 从耶和华殿的奠基日开始, 你们要反省:

2:19 Is there still seed in the store chamber? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still produce nothing? From this day forward I will bless you.’ ”
仓里还有种子吗? 葡萄树,无花果树,石榴树和橄榄树, 岂是还没有结果子吗? 从今日起, 我必赐福. ’”

2:20 And the word of Yahweh came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month saying,
同月二十四日, 耶和华的话再次临到哈该, 说:

2:21 “Say to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I am going to shake the heavens and the earth,
“你要向犹大省长所罗巴伯说: ‘我要震动天地,

2:22 and I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the military strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, every one by the sword of another!
我必倾覆列国的宝座, 消灭外族万国的势力, 我必推翻战车和驾车的人; 马匹和骑马的都必跌倒; 各人必死在自己兄弟的刀下. ’

2:23 ‘On that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will make you a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.”
万军之耶和华说: ‘撒拉铁的儿子, 我的仆人所罗巴伯啊! 到那日我必提拔你. ’耶和华说: ‘我必以你为印记. ’万军之耶和华说: ‘因为我拣选了你. ’”

Zechariah (撒迦利亚)

Zechariah - Chapter 1

1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, son of Iddo, saying,
大利乌王第二年八月, 耶和华的话临到易多的孙子,比利家的儿子撒迦利亚先知, 说:

1:2 “Yahweh was very angry with your ancestors.
“耶和华曾对你们的列祖大发烈怒,

1:3 You must say to them: ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Return to me,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts.
所以, 你要对众民说: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 你们要转向我(这是万军之耶和华的宣告), 我就必转向你们(这是万军之耶和华说的).

1:4 “Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Return from your evil ways and your evil deeds!” ’ But they did not hear and they did not pay attention to me,” declares Yahweh.
不要效法你们的列祖那样, 从前的先知呼唤他们: 万军之耶和华这样说, 你们要回转, 离开你们的恶道和恶行. 他们却不听从, 也不理会我(这是耶和华的宣告).

1:5 “Your ancestors, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
你们的列祖在哪里呢? 那些先知能永远活着吗?

1:6 However, did not my words and my regulations which I commanded my servants the prophets overtake your ancestors? And they repented and said, ‘Yahweh of hosts planned to do with us according to our ways, and according to our deeds so he has dealt with us.’ ” ’ ”
然而我吩咐我的仆人众先知的话与条例, 不是已报应在你们的列祖身上吗? 所以他们就回转, 说: 万军之耶和华定意按着我们所作所行的对付我们, 他已经这样行了. ’”

1:7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the prophet, son of Berekiah, son of Iddo, saying,
大利乌王第二年十一月(就是细罢特月)二十四日, 耶和华的话临到易多的孙子,比利家的儿子撒迦利亚先知, 实情如下:

1:8 I had a vision in the night, and look, a man riding on a red horse. And he was standing between the myrtle shrubs that were in the ravine, and behind him were red, reddish-brown, and white horses.
我夜间观看, 看见有一个人骑着红马, 站在低洼地上的石榴树中间; 在他后面还有些红色,栗色和白色的马.

1:9 And I asked, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel who was talking with me said, “I will show you what these are.”
我就问: “我主啊, 这些是什么? ”那与我说话的天使对我说: “我会指示你这些是什么. ”

1:10 And the man standing between the myrtle shrubs answered and said, “These are those whom Yahweh has sent to patrol the earth.”
那站在石榴树中间的人回答: “这些就是耶和华所差遣在遍地巡逻的. ”

1:11 And they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing between the myrtle shrubs, and they said, “We have patrolled the earth, and look, all the earth is dwelling in peace.”
那些骑士回报那站在石榴树中间的耶和华使者, 说: “我们已经在遍地巡逻; 看见全地都安定, 一片平静. ”

1:12 The angel of Yahweh answered and said, “O Yahweh of hosts, how long will you have no compassion on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which you showed fury these seventy years?”
于是耶和华的使者说: “万军之耶和华啊! 你不怜悯耶路撒冷和犹大的城镇, 要到几时呢? 这七十年来, 你一直恼怒它们. ”

1:13 With gracious and comforting words Yahweh answered the angel who was talking with me.
耶和华就用满有恩慈和安慰的话回答那与我说话的天使.

1:14 And the angel who was talking with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “I am very jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion!
那与我说话的天使对我说: “你要宣告: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 我为耶路撒冷和锡安心里充满嫉恨.

1:15 And I am extremely angry with the nations that are at ease, for while I was a little angry, they furthered disaster.”
我向那些安逸的列国大大恼怒, 因为我只是稍微恼怒我的子民, 他们却加深他们的祸害.

1:16 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion. My temple will be built in it,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’
因此, 耶和华这样说: 我要怀着怜悯的心回到耶路撒冷, 我的殿必在城中重建(这是万军之耶和华的宣告). 绳子必拉在耶路撒冷之上. ’

1:17 Proclaim again, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “My cities shall again overflow from prosperity, and Yahweh will comfort Zion again, and he will choose Jerusalem again.” ’ ”
你要再宣告: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 我的城镇必再昌盛繁荣, 耶和华必再怜悯锡安, 必再拣选耶路撒冷. ’”

1:18 And I looked up and I saw, and look, there were four horns!
我又举目观看, 看见有四个角.

1:19 And I said to the angel who was talking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
于是我问那与我说话的天使: “这些是什么? ”他对我说: “这些就是把犹大,以色列和耶路撒冷赶散的角. ”

1:20 Then Yahweh showed me four skilled craftsmen,
耶和华又使我看见四个匠人.

1:21 and I asked, “What are these coming to do?” And he answered, saying, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to frighten them, to strike down the horns of the nations that lifted a horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
于是我说: “这些人来作什么? ”那天使回答: “他们就是把犹大赶散的角, 以致没有一人可以抬起头来; 但这些匠人要来惊吓列国, 打掉他们的角; 这些列国就是曾经举起他们的角攻击犹大地, 把犹大地的人赶散的. ”

Zechariah - Chapter 2

2:1 And I looked up and I saw, and look, a man, and in his hand was a measuring rope!
我又举目观看, 看见一人手里拿着量度用的绳子.

2:2 And I asked, “Where are you going?” And he answered me, “To measure Jerusalem to see what is its width and what is its length.”
我问他: “你到哪里去? ”他对我说: “我要去量度耶路撒冷, 看看有多宽, 有多长. ”

2:3 And look, the angel who was talking to me was coming forward, and another angel was coming forward to meet him.
那与我说话的天使离去的时候, 另有一位天使迎着他来,

2:4 And he said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited like villages without walls because of the multitude of people and animals in its midst.
对他说: “你快跑去告诉那年轻人: ‘耶路撒冷必有人居住, 像没有城墙规限的田野, 因为城中的人和牲畜很多.

2:5 And I will be for it a wall of fire all around,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will be the glory in its midst.’ ”
耶和华说: 我要作耶路撒冷四围的火墙和城中的荣耀. ’”

2:6 “Woe! Woe! Flee from the land of the north,” declares Yahweh, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of the heavens,” declares Yahweh.
“嗨! 嗨! 你们要从北方之地逃走(这是耶和华的宣告), 因为我过去曾把你们分散在天的四方. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

2:7 “Woe, Zion! Escape, you inhabitants of the daughter of Babylon!”
耶和华说: “嗨! 与巴比伦的居民同住的锡安的人民哪! 逃跑吧! ”

2:8 For thus said Yahweh of hosts, after glory he sent me against the nations plundering you: Truly, the one touching you is touching the apple of his eye.
万军之耶和华这样说, 得了荣耀之后, 他差遣我去攻击那些劫掠你们的列国, 因为凡触摸你们的, 就是触摸他眼中的瞳人.

2:9 “Yes, look! I am going to wave my hand against them, and they will become plunder for their servants, and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me.
看哪! 我要向他们挥动我的手, 他们就必成了自己奴仆的掠物. 这样, 你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我.

“锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)哪! 你们要欢呼快乐, 因为我要来住在你们中间. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

2:11 “Many nations will join themselves to Yahweh on that day, and they will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.
到那日, 许多国家要归附耶和华, 作他的(“他的”原文作“我的”)子民, 他要(“他要”原文作“我要”)住在你们中间. 你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我到你们那里去.

2:12 And Yahweh will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and he will again choose Jerusalem.
耶和华必再得着犹大作他在圣地的业分, 他必再拣选耶路撒冷.

2:13 Be silent, all people, before Yahweh, for he is roused from his holy dwelling.”
全人类都当在耶和华面前肃静, 因为他从自己圣洁的居所被激动起来了.

耶和华又使我看见大祭司约书亚站在耶和华的使者面前, 撒但也站在约书亚右边控告他.

耶和华对撒但说: “撒但哪! 耶和华斥责你, 那拣选了耶路撒冷的耶和华斥责你. 这个人不是从火中抽出来的一根柴吗? ”

我说: “你们要把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上. ”他们就把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上, 又给他穿上华美的衣服. 那时, 耶和华的使者正在旁边站着.

“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘你若遵行我的道, 谨守我的吩咐, 你就必治理我的家, 看守我的院子, 我必赐你特权, 可以在这些侍立在我面前的使者中间自由出入.

看我在约书亚面前所立的石头, 在这一块石头上有七眼. 看哪! 我要亲自雕琢这石头(这是万军之耶和华的宣告). 在一日之内, 我要除去这地的罪孽.

套着黑马的车出来, 往北方之地去; 套着白马的车出来, 跟在它们后面(“跟在它们后面”或译: “往西方去”); 套着有斑点的马的车出来, 往南方之地去.

6:7 When the strong horses went out, they were anxious to go to patrol the earth. And he said, “Go, patrol the earth.” And they patrolled the earth.
这些雄壮的马出来, 切望在全地走遍各处; 天使说: “你们去吧, 只管在全地走遍各处. ”它们就在全地走遍各处.

告诉他说: ‘万军之耶和华这样说: 看哪! 有一个人名叫大卫的苗裔, 他必从自己的地方生长起来, 并要建造耶和华的殿.

6:13 And he will build the temple of Yahweh, and he will bear majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he shall be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two of them.” ’
他必建造耶和华的殿, 必得尊荣; 他必坐在宝座上执掌王权, 又必在他的宝座上作祭司, 使两者之间和谐共济. ’”

6:14 And the crown will be for Helem, for Tobijah, for Jedaiah, and for Hen son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
这冠冕要在耶和华的殿中给希连(“希连”有古译本作“黑玳”),多比雅,耶大雅和西番雅的儿子贤(“贤”有古译本作“约西亚”)作记念.

6:15 And those who are far off will come and build the temple of Yahweh, and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you. And it will happen if you will listen diligently to the voice of Yahweh your God.”
远方的人也要来建造耶和华的殿, 你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我到你们这里来. 你们若留心听从耶和华你们神的话, 这事必定成就.

Zechariah - Chapter 7

7:1 And then, in the fourth year of King Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Kislev.
大利乌王第四年九月, 就是基斯流月初四日, 耶和华的话临到撒迦利亚.

7:2 And the people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of Yahweh,
那时, 伯特利人差派了沙利色,利坚米勒和他的随从, 去恳求耶和华施恩.

7:3 saying to the priests of the house of Yahweh of hosts and to the prophets, “Should I mourn in the fifth month and keep myself separate as I have done for these many years?”
他们询问万军之耶和华殿里的众祭司, 以及众先知说: “我们还要在五月哭泣和禁食, 像我们这许多年来所行的吗? ”

7:4 And the word of Yahweh of hosts came to me, saying,
万军之耶和华的话临到我, 说:

7:5 “Say to all the people of the land and to the priests: ‘When you fasted and lamented in the fifth and seventh months for these seventy years, did you really fast for me?
“你要告诉这地的人民和祭司说: ‘这七十年来, 你们在五月和七月禁食哀哭, 岂是真的为我禁食呢?

7:6 And when you eat and drink, are you not eating and drinking for yourselves?
你们吃, 你们喝, 岂不是为你们自己吃, 为你们自己喝吗?

7:7 Are not these the words that Yahweh proclaimed through the former prophets, when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were inhabited and at ease, and the Negev and the Shephelah were inhabited?’ ”
这些话耶和华不是曾借着从前的先知宣告了吗? 那时, 耶路撒冷和四围的城镇都有人居住, 很是兴旺, 南地和高地都有人居住. ’”

7:8 And the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah, saying,
耶和华的话又临到撒迦利亚说:

7:9 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Judge with trustworthy justice, and show steadfast love and compassion to one another.
“万军之耶和华曾这样告诉你们的列祖说: ‘你们要执法公正, 各人要以慈爱和怜悯待自己的兄弟.

7:10 You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, and the needy. You must not devise evil in your heart against one another.’
寡妇,孤儿,寄居的和贫穷人, 你们都不可欺压, 也不可各自心里图谋恶事, 陷害自己的兄弟. ’

7:11 But they refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears from listening.
但他们不肯听从, 反而硬着颈项, 充耳不闻.

7:12 They made their hearts adamant in order not to hear the law and the words that Yahweh of hosts had sent by his spirit through the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of hosts.
他们使自己的心刚硬如金钢石, 不肯听从律法和万军之耶和华借着他的灵,透过从前的先知所说的话. 因此, 万军之耶和华非常忿怒.

7:13 ‘Thus, just as I called and they would not hear, so they will call and I will not hear,’ says Yahweh of hosts.
我曾呼唤他们, 他们不听; 照样, 将来他们呼求我, 我也不听. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

7:14 ‘And I scattered them with a wind among all the nations that they had not known; the land was made desolate behind them— no one crossing through it or returning—and they made the desirable land a desolation.’ ”
我用旋风把他们吹散到他们不认识的列国去, 他们留下的地就荒凉了, 以致无人来往经过, 因为他们使这美好之地变为荒凉了. ”

Zechariah - Chapter 8

8:1 And the word of Yahweh of hosts came, saying,
万军之耶和华的话临到我说:

8:2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘I am exceedingly jealous for Zion; I am jealous for it with great wrath.’
“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘我十分热爱锡安; 我为锡安大发烈怒. ’

耶和华这样说: ‘我要返回锡安, 住在耶路撒冷里面; 耶路撒冷必称为“信实之城”, 万军之耶和华的山必称为“圣山”. ’

8:4 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Old men and old women shall again sit in the public squares of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age.
“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘年老的男女必再坐在耶路撒冷的街上; 他们因为年纪老迈, 各人都手拿拐杖.

8:5 And the public squares of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its public squares.’
城里的街上必满了男孩女孩, 在街上嬉戏. ’

8:6 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Even if it seems impossible to the remnant of this people in those days, should it also seem impossible to me?’ declares Yahweh of hosts.
“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘在那些日子, 这事在这余剩的子民眼中被视为不可能的奇迹, 在我眼中也视为不可能吗? ’这是万军之耶和华的宣告.

8:7 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Look! I am going to save my people from the land of the east, and from the land of the west,
“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘看哪! 我必从日出之地和日落之地拯救我的子民.

8:8 and I will bring them and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They will be my people and I will be their God in faithfulness and in righteousness.’
我要把他们领回来, 让他们住在耶路撒冷; 他们要作我的子民, 我也要凭着信实和公义作他们的神. ’

“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘在万军之耶和华的殿奠立了根基, 预备建造的日子, 你们这些在当时听过众先知亲口宣告这些话的人, 现在你们的手务要刚强.

8:10 For before those days there was no wage for people or for animals, and there was no safety from the enemy for those who went out or those who came in, and I sent each person against one another.
因为在那些日子以前, 人作工是没有工价的, 牲畜也是这样, 并且因有敌人的缘故, 人出入就没有平安, 我也使众人互相攻击.

8:11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.
但现在我待这些余剩的子民必不像从前的日子那样(这是万军之耶和华的宣告).

8:12 ‘For there will be a sowing of peace; the vine will give its fruit, and the soil will give its produce, and the heavens will give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
因为五谷必生长繁茂, 葡萄树必结果子, 地土必出土产, 天也必降下甘露, 我要使这些余剩的子民承受这一切.

8:13 And then, just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you will be a blessing. You must not be afraid; let your hands be strong!’ ”
犹大家和以色列家啊! 你们从前在万国中成为可咒诅的, 将来, 我要拯救你们, 使你们成为赐福的器皿. 你们不要惧怕, 你们的手务要刚强. ’

8:14 For thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Just as I planned to bring disaster on you when your ancestors provoked me to anger,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and I did not regret it,
“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘你们的列祖惹我发怒的时候, 我曾定意降祸在你们身上, 并没有改变心意(这是万军之耶和华说的);

8:15 so again I have planned in these days to do good to Jerusalem and the house of Judah. Do not be afraid!
照样, 在这些日子里, 我定意恩待耶路撒冷和犹大家. 你们不要惧怕.

8:16 These are the things that you must do: speak truth, each of you, with his neighbor; practice trustworthy judgment and peace in your gates.
你们应当行这些事: 你们各人要与邻舍说真话, 在你们的城门口要凭着诚实和公正施行审判.

8:17 Do not devise evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love a false oath, because all these are things I hate,” declares Yahweh.
你们各人不要心里图谋恶事, 彼此陷害, 也不可好起假誓, 因为这些都是我所恨恶的. ’这是耶和华的宣告. ”

8:18 And the word of Yahweh of hosts came to me, saying
万军之耶和华的话临到我, 说:

8:19 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘The fast of the fourth month, the fifth month, the seventh month, and the tenth month will be for the house of Judah jubilation and joy and merry festivals; therefore love truth and peace.’
“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘四月的禁食,五月的禁食,七月的禁食和十月的禁食都要变为犹大家欢喜快乐的日子和欢乐的节期. 所以, 你们要喜爱诚实与和平. ’

必有很多的民族和强大的国家前来, 在耶路撒冷求告万军之耶和华, 恳求他施恩. ’

“万军之耶和华这样说: ‘在那些日子, 必有十个说不同方言, 来自列国的人, 紧抓住一个犹大人的衣襟, 说: 让我们与你们同去吧, 因为我们听见神与你们同在. ’”

Zechariah - Chapter 9

9:1 An oracle. The word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is its resting place. For to Yahweh belongs the eye of humankind, and all the tribes of Israel,
以下是耶和华的默示: 耶和华的话临到哈得拉地, 落在大马士革(世人的眼睛和以色列各支派都仰望耶和华),

9:2 and also Hamath, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon—yes, they are very wise!
又临到大马士革边界的哈马, 还有推罗,西顿, 尽管她们有极大的智慧.

9:3 Tyre has built a fortification for itself, and it heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the mud of the streets.
推罗为自己建造了堡垒, 堆积银子, 多如尘沙, 积聚精金, 多如街上的泥土.

9:4 Look! The Lord will drive it out and will hurl its outer ramparts into the sea, and it will be consumed by fire.
看哪! 主必夺去她的一切, 摧毁她海上的势力, 她必被火吞灭.

9:5 Ashkelon will see and will be afraid, and Gaza will writhe exceedingly, and Ekron also, because its hope is ruined. And the king from Gaza will perish, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
亚实基伦看见了, 就必害怕; 迦萨看见了也必非常痛苦; 以革伦因失去盼望而蒙羞. 迦萨的王必灭亡, 亚实基伦必不再有人居住.

9:6 A mongrel people will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut down the pride of the Philistines.
混杂的种族必住在亚实突, 我必除掉非利士人的骄傲.

9:7 I will remove its blood from its mouth, and its abominations from between its teeth. And it too will be a remnant for our God; and it will be like a tribal chief in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusite.
我必除去他们口中的血, 和他们牙齿间可憎之物. 余剩下来的人要归于我们的神, 像犹大的一族; 以革伦人也必像耶布斯人一样.

9:8 But I will encamp at my temple like a guard, against those crossing through and returning; no oppressor will cross through them again, for now I have seen with my own eyes.
我必在我的家四围安营, 不容敌军出入往来; 欺压人的不能再侵犯我的子民, 因我现在亲眼看顾他们.

9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Look! Your king comes to you; he is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, and on a male donkey, the foal of a female donkey!
锡安的居民哪! 要大大喜乐. 耶路撒冷的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)哪! 应当欢呼. 看哪! 你的王来到你这里了, 他是公义的, 是得胜的. 他又是温柔的, 他骑着驴, 骑的是小驴.

9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the battle bow will be cut down, and he will announce peace to the nations. His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
我必从以法莲除掉战车, 从耶路撒冷除掉战马. 争战的弓必被除掉, 他要向列国宣讲和平. 他的统治权必从这海延伸到那海, 从幼发拉底河直到地极.

9:11 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
锡安哪! 至于你, 因着我与你立约的血, 我把你中间被囚禁的人从无水的坑里释放出来.

9:12 Return to the fortress, O prisoners of hope; today I am declaring that I will repay you double.
你们被囚仍有盼望的人哪! 要归回保障. 今天我要宣告: 我必加倍补偿给你.

9:13 For I have bent Judah as my bow; I have set Ephraim as an arrow. I will set in motion your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Javan. I will wield you like the sword of a warrior.
我把犹大作我手上拉开的弓, 把以法莲作我弓上的箭. 锡安哪! 我必激动你的众子, 去攻击希腊的众子; 我必使你像勇士的刀剑.

9:14 Then Yahweh will appear over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and my Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and he shall go out in the storm winds of the south.
耶和华必在他子民头上显现, 他的箭必像闪电一般射出; 主耶和华必吹起号角, 乘着南方的暴风而行.

9:15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour and subdue the slingstones; they will drink, they will make noise like wine, and they will be full like the sacrificial basin, drenched like the corners of an altar.
万军之耶和华必护卫他们, 他们要用投石器投石吞灭和制伏敌人; 他们必喝血, 并且喧嚷, 像喝醉了酒一样; 他们必像献祭用的碗盛满了血, 又像祭坛的角, 沾满了血.

9:16 And Yahweh their God will save them on that day, as the flock of his people; for they are like the stones of a diadem, glittering on his land.
到那日, 耶和华他们的神必拯救他们, 待他的子民好像羊群一样, 因为他们必像冠冕上的宝石, 闪耀在他的地上.

9:17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women.
他们将是多么的善, 多么的美; 五谷和新酒使少男少女生气蓬勃.

Zechariah - Chapter 10

10:1 Ask rain from Yahweh in the season of the spring rain— Yahweh, who makes storm clouds, and he gives showers of rain to them, to everyone vegetation in the field.
在春雨的季节, 你们要向耶和华求雨. 耶和华闪发雷电, 给人降雨, 使各人的田地生长蔬菜.

10:2 Because the household gods speak deceit, and those who practice divination see a lie, and the dreamers of vanity speak in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted because there is no shepherd.
因为偶像所说的是空言, 占卜者所见的是虚谎, 他们所说的是假梦, 只给人空洞的安慰. 因此, 众人都如羊没有牧人, 流离困苦.

10:3 My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders, because Yahweh of hosts watches over his flock, the house of Judah; and he will make them like his majestic horse in war.
“我的怒气要向这些牧人发作, 我要惩罚那些公山羊. (因为万军之耶和华眷顾他的羊群犹大家, 使他们像战场上雄赳赳的战马. )

10:4 From them the cornerstone will go out, from them the tent peg, from them the battle bow, from them every ruler, all together.
房角石,帐棚桩,作战的弓和所有的统治者, 都从犹大而出.

10:5 And they will be like warriors, trampling in the mud of the streets in the battle. They will fight, because Yahweh is with them, and they will put to shame the riders on horses.
他们必像勇士, 在战场上把仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中, 他们必争战, 因为耶和华与他们同在, 他们必使敌方的骑士羞愧.

10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph I will save. And I will bring them back, because I have compassion on them, and they will be as if I had not rejected them, for I am Yahweh their God, and I will answer them.
我要使犹大家强盛起来, 我必拯救约瑟家. 我要使他们归回, 因为我怜悯他们; 他们好像未遭我弃绝一样, 因为我是耶和华他们的神, 我必应允他们.

10:7 And the people of Ephraim will be like a warrior, and their heart will be glad as with wine. And their children will see and rejoice; their heart will shout in exultation in Yahweh.
以法莲人必像勇士, 他们心中快乐, 好像饮了酒一样; 他们的子孙看见了, 也必快乐; 他们的心必因耶和华欢乐.

10:8 I will whistle to them and gather them, for I have redeemed them, and they will become numerous as they have been numerous before.
我要向他们吹哨子, 招聚他们, 因为我救赎了他们. 他们的人数要增多, 像从前一样.

10:9 Though I sow them among the nations, in the distant places they will remember me, and they will stay alive with their children, and they will return.
虽然我把他们散播在万民中, 他们仍要在远方记念我; 他们与他们的子孙都要存活, 并且归回.

10:10 And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria I will gather them. To the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until no room will be found for them there.
我要使他们从埃及地归回, 从亚述地招聚他们, 带他们到基列地和黎巴嫩山, 却仍不够容纳他们.

10:11 And he will pass through the sea of distress, and he will strike the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought low, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
他必经过苦难的海, 击打海中的波浪, 尼罗河的深处也都要干涸; 亚述的骄傲必降为卑; 埃及的权势要过去.

10:12 I will make them strong in Yahweh, and in his name they will walk, declares Yahweh.
我必使我的子民因耶和华而强盛, 他们要奉耶和华的名行事为人. ”这是耶和华的宣告.

Zechariah - Chapter 11

11:1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, so that fire will devour your cedars!
黎巴嫩哪! 敞开你的门户, 好让火吞灭你的香柏树.

11:2 Wail, O juniper, for the cedar has fallen, for the magnificent trees are ruined! Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the impenetrable forest has come down!
松树啊! 哀号吧, 因为香柏树已经倒下, 雄壮的树木都毁坏了; 巴珊的橡树啊! 哀号吧, 因为茂密的树林被砍下来了.

11:3 Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their splendor is ruined! Listen to the roar of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are ruined!
听牧人们哀号的声音, 因为他们荣美的草场毁坏了; 听少壮狮子吼叫的声音, 因为约旦河边的丛林毁坏了.

11:4 Thus says Yahweh my God: “Shepherd the flock doomed to slaughter.
耶和华我的神这样说: “你要牧养这将被宰杀的羊群.

11:5 The ones buying them kill them and go unpunished, and the ones selling them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I have become rich.’ Their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
那些买了它们的宰杀它们, 也不算为有罪; 那些卖它们的说: ‘耶和华是应当称颂的, 因我成了富足的人. ’它们的牧人并不怜恤它们.

11:6 For I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of the land,” declares Yahweh. “Look, I am going to cause humankind to fall, each into the hand of his neighbor, and into the hand of his king; and they will devastate the land, and I will not deliver anyone from their hand.”
因此我必不再怜恤这地的居民(这是耶和华的宣告). 看哪! 我把他们各人交在他的邻舍和君王的手中. 他们必摧毁这地, 我必不救这地的居民脱离他们的手. ”

11:7 And I shepherded the flock doomed to slaughter, even the afflicted of the flock. I took two staffs, one I called Kindness, and the other I called Unity, and I shepherded the flock.
于是, 我牧养这将被宰杀的羊群, 就是羊群中最困苦的; 我取了两根杖, 一根我称为“恩宠”, 另一根称为“联合”. 这样我就牧养了羊群.

11:8 And I got rid of three shepherds in one month, for I grew impatient with them, and they also became tired of me.
在一个月之内我除灭了三个牧人. 我的心厌烦他们, 他们的心也讨厌我.

11:9 So I said, “I will not shepherd you! The one dying will die, and the one to be destroyed will be destroyed. And the ones remaining, let them devour the flesh of each other.”
我就说: “我不再牧养你们了; 那将要死的, 让他死吧! 那将要被除灭的, 让他被除灭吧; 那些余剩的, 让他们彼此吞食对方的肉吧! ”

11:10 And I took my staff Kindness and broke it, to break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
然后, 我拿起我那根称为“恩宠”的杖, 把它折断, 表示要废除我与万民所立的约;

11:11 And it was broken on that day. Then the afflicted of the flock, the ones who were watching me, knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
那约就在当日废除了. 这样, 那些仰望我的困苦羊群, 就知道这是耶和华的话.

11:12 And I said to them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages, but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out my wages, thirty silver shekels.
我对他们说: “你们若看为美, 就给我工资; 不然, 就算了. ”于是, 他们称了三十块银子作我的工资.

11:13 And Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter,” this noble price at which I was valued by them!” So I took the thirty silver shekels and I threw them to the potter in the house of Yahweh.
那时, 耶和华对我说: “你要把银子丢给陶匠. ”那银子就是他们认为我应得的高价. 我就拿了那三十块银子, 在耶和华的殿里丢给陶匠了.

11:14 Then I broke my second staff Unity to break the family ties between Judah and Israel.
我又折断那称为“联合”的另一根杖, 表示要废除犹大和以色列之间的手足之情.

11:15 And Yahweh said to me, “Take again the implements of a foolish shepherd.
耶和华又对我说: “你去取愚昧牧人的装备来.

11:16 For look, I am raising up a shepherd in the land who will not attend to the ones that are perishing; he will not seek the young man, he will not heal the ones that are crushed and he will not sustain the healthy ones; he will devour the flesh of the fattened ones and tear apart even their hoofs.
因为我要在这地兴起一个牧人; 那些快要丧亡的他不看顾, 失散的他不寻找, 受伤的他不医治, 强壮的他不喂养, 他却要吃肥羊的肉, 撕掉它们的蹄子.

11:17 “Woe, my worthless shepherd who deserts the flock! May a sword fall on his arm and on his right eye! May his arm wither completely and his right eye be utterly blinded!”
“那丢弃羊群的无用牧人有祸了! 愿刀剑落在他的膀臂和他的右眼上; 愿他的膀臂全然枯槁, 愿他的右眼完全失明! ”

Zechariah - Chapter 12

12:1 An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. “Thus declares Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, founds the earth, and forms the spirit of humankind in its midst:
以下是耶和华的默示, 这是耶和华论到以色列的话(是耶和华的宣告, 他铺张诸天, 奠定大地的根基, 造成人里面的灵):

12:2 ‘Look, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup of reeling for all the surrounding nations; it will also be against Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
“看哪! 我要使耶路撒冷成为令周围万族喝醉的杯; 耶路撒冷被围困的时候, 犹大也必受到攻击.

12:3 And then on that day I will make Jerusalem a stone weight for all the peoples. All those lifting it up will grievously hurt themselves, and all the nations of the earth will assemble against it.
到那日, 我要使耶路撒冷对万族来说像一块沉重的石头, 举起它的必受重伤; 地上的列国必聚集起来攻击耶路撒冷.

12:4 On that day,’ declares Yahweh, ‘I will strike every horse with confusion, and the one riding it with madness; but over the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, and I will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
到那日(这是耶和华的宣告), 我要击打所有的马匹, 使它们惊恐, 击打骑马的人, 使他们疯狂; 我必开眼看顾犹大家, 我要击打万族所有的马匹, 使它们瞎眼.

12:5 And the clans of Judah will say to themselves, “The inhabitants of Jerusalem are a strength to us, through Yahweh of hosts, their God.”
那时, 犹大的族长必心里说: ‘耶路撒冷的居民, 靠万军之耶和华他们的神得着力量. ’

12:6 “ ‘On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a pan of fire among sticks of wood, and like a torch of fire among stalks of grain, and they will devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, and Jerusalem will be inhabited again in its place, in Jerusalem.
“到那日, 我必使犹大的族长好像木柴中的火盆, 又好像禾捆中的火把; 他们必向左右吞灭周围的万族, 但耶路撒冷的人必仍在城中原处安居.

12:7 And Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be exalted over Judah.
“耶和华必先拯救犹大的帐棚, 免得大卫家的荣耀和耶路撒冷居民的荣耀胜过犹大.

12:8 On that day Yahweh will put a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who stumbles among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh, before them.
到那日, 耶和华必保护耶路撒冷的居民; 他们中间最软弱的, 到那日必好像大卫, 大卫家必好像神, 好像行在他们前面的耶和华使者.

12:9 And then on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations coming against Jerusalem.
到那日, 我必歼灭所有前来攻打耶路撒冷的列国.

12:10 “ ‘I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication, and they will look to me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn over him, as one wails over an only child, and they will grieve bitterly over him as one grieves bitterly over a firstborn.
“我必把那恩慈与恳求的灵倾注在大卫家和耶路撒冷居民的身上. 他们必仰望我, 就是他们所刺的; 他们要为他哀哭, 好像丧独生子; 他们必为他悲痛, 好像丧长子.

12:11 On that day the wailing will be great in Jerusalem, like the wailing for Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
到那日, 耶路撒冷必有极大的哀哭, 像在米吉多平原的哈达临门的哀哭一样.

12:12 And the land shall mourn, each clan by itself; the clan of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the clan of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
全地都要哀哭, 一家一家独在一处哀哭. 大卫家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处; 拿单家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处;

12:13 the clan of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the clan of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves;
利未家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处; 示每家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处;

12:14 and all those clans remaining, each clan by itself, and their wives by themselves.’ ”
其余的各家都是一家一家独在一处, 他们的妇女也独在一处. ”

Zechariah - Chapter 13

13:1 “ ‘On that day a well will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and from impurity.
“到那日, 必有一个泉源, 为大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开放, 洗除他们的罪恶和不洁.

13:2 And then, on that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I will banish from the land.
“到那日(这是万军之耶和华的宣告), 我必从这地除掉偶像的名号, 它们不再被人记念; 我也必从这地除去假先知和污秽的灵.

13:3 And then, if anyone prophesies again, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him, “You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of Yahweh!” And his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through when he prophesies.
如果有人再说预言, 他的亲生父母必对他说: ‘你不该活着, 因为你奉耶和华的名说谎. ’他说预言的时候, 他的亲生父母必把他刺死.

13:4 And then on that day, each of the prophets will be ashamed because of his vision when he was prophesying, and they will not put on a cloak of hair in order to deceive,
“到那日, 假先知说预言的时候, 每一个都必因自己所论的异象而羞愧; 他们必不再穿兽毛衣服欺骗人.

13:5 but he will say, “I am not a prophet; I am a tiller of the soil, for a man has acquired me since my youth.”
那时他必说: ‘我不是先知, 只是耕地的人; 因为我自幼以来, 就被卖为奴. ’

13:6 And someone shall say to him, “What are these wounds between your arms?” and he will say, “Those I have received in the house of the ones who love me.” ’ ”
如果有人问他: ‘怎么在你胸口上(“胸口上”原文作“两手之间”)有这些伤痕呢? ’他就必回答: ‘这些是在爱我的人家里所受的伤. ’

13:7 “O sword, awake against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate,” declares Yahweh of hosts. “Strike the shepherd, so that the sheep may be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the small ones.
“刀剑哪, 醒来吧! 攻击我的牧人, 我的同伴, (这是万军之耶和华的宣告. )要击打牧人, 羊群就分散; 我也要转过手来, 攻击小羊.

13:8 And then in all the land,” declares Yahweh, “two thirds will be cut off and perish, and one third will be left alive in it.
全地的人必有三分之二被除灭, 只有三分之一存留下来. (这是耶和华的宣告. )

13:9 And I will bring the remaining third into the fire, and I will refine them like one refines silver, and I will test them like one tests gold. They will call my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”
我必使这三分之一经火试炼. 我要炼净他们, 像炼净银子一样; 我要试炼他们, 像试炼金子一样. 他们必呼求我的名, 我必应允他们. 我要说: ‘他们是我的子民. ’他们也要说: ‘耶和华是我们的神. ’”

Zechariah - Chapter 14

14:1 Look! A day is coming for Yahweh, when your plunder will be divided in your midst.
看哪! 耶和华的日子快到, 人要在你中间分取你的掠物.

14:2 I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, and they will loot the houses, and the women will be raped; half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city.
因为我必招聚列国与耶路撒冷作战, 城必被占领, 房屋被抢掠, 妇女被强奸. 城中的居民必有半数被掳去, 剩下的人民必不会从这城里被剪除.

14:3 Then Yahweh will go forth and fight against those nations, like when he fights on a day of battle.
那时, 耶和华要出去, 与那些国家作战, 像他以前在战争的日子作战一样.

14:4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half, from east to west, by a very great valley; and half of the mountain will withdraw toward the north, and the other half toward the south.
到那日, 他的脚必站在对着耶路撒冷, 在东面的橄榄山上; 这橄榄山必从中间裂开, 由东至西成为极大的山谷. 山的一半向北挪移, 一半向南挪移.

14:5 And you will flee by the valley of my mountains, because the valley of the mountains will reach to Azal, and you will flee like you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. And Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
你们要经由我的山谷逃跑, 因为山谷必伸展到亚萨; 你们要逃跑, 好像在犹大王乌西雅年间逃避大地震一样. 耶和华我的神必来临, 所有的圣者都与他(“与他”《马索拉抄本》作“与你”)同来.

14:6 And then on that day there will not be light, the precious things will congeal.
到那日, 必没有光,寒冷和严霜.

14:7 There shall be continuous day—it is known to Yahweh—not day and not night; and at evening time there will be light.
那将是独特的一天, 只有耶和华知道; 那天不再分白昼和黑夜, 因为在晚上仍有光明.

14:8 And then on that day, living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea, and the other half to the western sea; it will happen both in the summer and in the winter.
到那日, 必有活水从耶路撒冷流出来; 一半流往东海, 另一半流往西海; 冬天夏天都是这样.

14:9 And Yahweh will be king over all the earth; on that day Yahweh will be one and his name one.
耶和华必作全地的王; 到那日, 人人都承认耶和华是独一无二的, 他的名也是独一无二的.

14:10 All the land will be transformed into a desert plateau from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But it will rise up high and it will stay in its place from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, up to the Corner Gate and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
全地, 从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的临门, 都要变成平原; 但耶路撒冷仍必屹然耸立, 从便雅悯门到第一门的地方, 到角门, 又从哈楠业楼到王的榨酒池, 都在原处.

14:11 And they will dwell in it, and there will be no more ban imposed, and Jerusalem will dwell in security.
城中必有人居住, 必不再有毁灭的咒诅, 耶路撒冷的人必安然居住.

14:12 And this will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples that fight against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
这是耶和华用来击打那些与耶路撒冷争战的万族的灾疫: 他们双脚仍然站地的时候, 他们的肌肉必腐烂, 他们的眼球必在眼眶里腐烂, 他们的舌头必在口腔中腐烂.

14:13 And then on that day a great panic from Yahweh will fall on them, and they will seize one another’s hand, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of another.
到那日, 耶和华必使他们大大慌乱, 他们各人互相抓住对方的手, 并举起手来互相攻击.

14:14 And Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—gold and silver, and garments in great abundance.
犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战; 四围列国的财物都必被收聚起来, 有极多的金子,银子和衣服.

14:15 Like this plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and every kind of animal in those camps.
照样, 像这类的灾疫也必临到马匹,骡子,骆驼,驴和在营中的一切牲畜身上.

14:16 And then every survivor from all those nations coming against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, and celebrate the Feast of Booths.
所有前来攻击耶路撒冷的列国中剩下的人, 必年年上来敬拜大君王万军之耶和华, 并且守住棚节.

14:17 And then whoever of the clans of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, it will not rain on them.
地上的万族中, 凡是不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王万军之耶和华的, 就必没有雨降给他们.

14:18 And if the clan of Egypt will not go up and come in, on them will be that plague Yahweh inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
埃及族若不上来参加, 就必没有雨降给他们, 这就是耶和华用来击打那些不上来守住棚节的列国的灾祸.

14:19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
这就是埃及的刑罚, 也是所有不上来守住棚节的列国的惩罚.

14:20 On that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to Yahweh.” And the cooking pots in the house of Yahweh will be holy like the sacrificial basins before the altar.
到那日, 马的铃铛上必有“归耶和华为圣”这句话; 耶和华殿里的锅必好像祭坛前献祭用的碗一样.

14:21 And every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of hosts, and all those who sacrifice will come and will take from them, and will cook in them, and there will be no longer a trader in the house of Yahweh of hosts on that day.
耶路撒冷和犹大所有的锅都必归万军之耶和华为圣; 献祭的, 都必来取这些锅, 用来煮祭肉. 到那日, 在万军之耶和华的殿中, 必不再有商人(“商人”或译: 迦南人”).

Malachi (玛拉基书)

Malachi - Chapter 1

1:1 An oracle. The word of Yahweh to Israel through Malachi.
以下是耶和华借玛拉基对以色列宣判的话.

1:2 “I have loved you,” says Yahweh, but you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is Esau not Jacob’s brother?” declares Yahweh. “I have loved Jacob,
耶和华说: “我爱你们. ”你们却说: “你怎样爱了我们呢? ”耶和华说: “以扫不是雅各的哥哥吗? 我却爱雅各,

1:3 but Esau I have hated. I have made his mountain ranges a desolation, and given his inheritance to the jackals of the desert.”
恶以扫. 我使以扫的山地荒凉, 把他的产业给了旷野的豺狼. ”

1:4 If Edom says, “We are shattered, but we will return and rebuild the ruins,” Yahweh of hosts says this: “They may build, but I will tear down; and they will be called a territory of wickedness, and the people with whom Yahweh is angry forever.”
如果以东说: “我们虽然遭破坏, 但仍要把废墟重建起来. ”万军之耶和华这样说: “他们只管建造, 我却要拆毁. 人要称他们为罪恶的境地, 为耶和华永远恼怒的子民. ”

1:5 Your eyes will see this, and you will say, “Yahweh is great beyond the borders of Israel.”
你们要亲眼看见, 也要亲自说: “耶和华在以色列的境地以外, 必被尊为大. ”

1:6 “A son honors his father, and a slave his master; but if I am a father, where is my honor, and if I am a master, where is my reverence?” says Yahweh of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. “But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
万军之耶和华对你们说: “藐视我名的祭司啊! 儿子尊敬父亲, 仆人敬畏主人. 我若是父亲, 我该受的尊敬在哪里呢? 我若是主人, 我应得的敬畏在哪里呢? ”你们却说: “我们怎样藐视了你的名呢? ”

1:7 You are presenting defiled food on my altar! But you ask, ‘How have we defiled you?’ By saying that the table of Yahweh is despised!
“你们把污秽的食物献在我的坛上, 你们竟说: ‘我们怎样污秽了你的坛呢? ’因你们以为耶和华的桌子是可以藐视的. ”

1:8 When you offer a blind animal for sacrifice, is that not wrong? And when you offer the lame and the one who is ill, is that not wrong? Present it, please, to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Will he show you favor?” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “你们把瞎眼的献为祭, 这不是恶吗? 你们把瘸腿的和有病的献上, 这不是罪吗? 你把这样的礼物献给你的省长, 他会喜欢你或是悦纳你的礼物吗? ”

1:9 So then, implore the favor of God so that he will be gracious to us. “This is what you have done. Will he show favor to any of you?” says Yahweh of hosts.
现在, 你们要向神求情, 好使他恩待我们. 这污秽的祭物, 既是你们经手献的, 他还能悦纳你们吗? 万军之耶和华说:

1:10 “Who also among you will shut the temple doors so that you will not kindle fire in vain on my altar? I take no pleasure in you,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and I will not accept an offering from your hand.
“真愿你们当中有人把殿门关上, 免得你们在我的坛上徒然点火. ”万军之耶和华说: “我不喜欢你们, 也不从你们手中收纳礼物. ”

1:11 From the rising of the sun to its setting, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is being presented to my name, and a pure offering. For my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “从日出到日落的地方, 我的名在列国中为大; 在各处都有人向我的名烧香, 献上洁净的礼物, 因为我的名在列国中为大. ”

1:12 “But you are profaning it by saying the table of the Lord is defiled, and its fruit—its food—is despised!
万军之耶和华说: “你们却亵渎了我, 因你们以为主的桌子是污秽的, 桌上的食物也是可藐视的.

1:13 And you say, ‘Look! This is a weariness,’ and you sniff with disdain at it,” says Yahweh of hosts. “And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the one that is sick—this you bring as the offering! Should I accept it from your hand?” says Yahweh.
你们又说: ‘唉, 真麻烦! ’你们就嗤之以鼻. ”耶和华说: “你们把抢来的,瘸腿的和有病的带来作礼物, 我怎能从你们的手中收受呢? ”

1:14 “Cursed is the one who cheats, who has in his flock a male and vows it, but instead sacrifices a blemished one to the Lord! For I am a great king,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”
万军之耶和华说: “凡以家畜中公的许了愿, 却又诡诈地拿有残疾的献给主, 那人当受咒诅; 因为我是大君王, 我的名在列国中是可敬畏的. ”

Malachi - Chapter 2

2:1 “And so then, O priests, this command is for you:
祭司啊! 现在这命令是给你们的.

2:2 If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart to give glory to my name,” says Yahweh of hosts, “then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings; moreover I have already cursed them because you are not taking it to heart.
万军之耶和华说: “你们若不听从, 若不放在心上, 不把荣耀归给我的名, 我就使咒诅临到你们中间, 我要咒诅你们应得的福分, 并且已经咒诅了, 因为你们没有把这命令放在心上.

2:3 Look! I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will scatter offal on your faces, the offal of your religious feasts, and you will be carried to it.
我要斥责你们的子孙, 也要把粪涂抹在你们的脸上, 就是节期祭牲的粪; 人要把你们抬到粪堆去. ”

2:4 “Then you will know that I have sent to you this command, that my covenant with Levi continues,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “这样, 你们就知道是我把这命令给你们, 使我与利未所立的约得以存留.

2:5 “My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. This required reverence, and he revered me and stood in awe before my name.
我与他所立的是生命和平安的约, 也把这些赐给了他. 我要使他敬畏我, 又畏惧我的名.

2:6 The instruction of truth was in his mouth, and wickedness was not found on his lips. In peace and in uprightness he walked with me, and he brought back many from sin.
在他的口中有真理的教训, 在他的嘴里也没有不义; 他以平安和正直与我同行, 使许多人回头离开罪孽. ”

2:7 For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of Yahweh of hosts.
祭司的嘴当保存知识, 人要从他的口中寻求教训, 因为他是万军耶和华的使者.

2:8 But you, you have turned from the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction; you have ruined the covenant of Levi,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “你们却偏离了正路, 使许多人在律法上跌倒; 你们也破坏了我与利未所立的约.

2:9 “And in turn I have made you despised and humbled before all the people, inasmuch as you are not keeping my way, but are favoring your own instruction.”
因此, 我也使你们在众人面前被藐视,受轻看, 因为你们不遵守我的道, 在律法上徇人的情面. ”

2:10 Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we unfaithful to one another, profaning the covenant of our ancestors?
我们不是同有一位父吗? 不是同一位神创造我们吗? 为什么我们各人对自己的兄弟不忠, 亵渎我们列祖的约呢?

2:11 Judah has been faithless, and a detestable thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. Judah has profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
犹大人行了诡诈, 在以色列和耶路撒冷中作了可憎的事; 因为犹大人亵渎耶和华所爱的圣所, 娶了事奉外族神的女子为妻.

2:12 May Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, the one who is awake and who answers, and the one who brings an offering to Yahweh of hosts!
行这事的, 无论是主动的, 或是附从的, 连那献礼物给万军耶和华的, 耶和华必把那人从雅各的帐棚中除掉.

2:13 And this you do as well: you cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping and with groaning, because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.
你们又行了这事: 使眼泪,哀哭和呻吟盖满了耶和华的坛, 因为耶和华不再垂看礼物, 也不喜悦从你们手中收纳.

2:14 But you ask, “For what reason?” Because Yahweh stands as a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have been unfaithful, even though she is your marriage partner and your wife by covenant.
你们还问: “为什么呢? ”因为耶和华在你和你年轻时所娶的妻子中间作证; 她是你的伴侣, 是你立约的妻子, 你竟对她不忠!

2:15 Did not one God make them? But a remnant of the spirit is his. And what does the one God desire? An offspring of God. You must be attentive to your spirit, and you must not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.
一个还有灵性的人, 是不会这样作的. 他会作什么呢? 他会寻求神的子孙. 所以要谨守你们的灵性, 不可对年轻时所娶的妻子不忠.

2:16 “For I hate divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and he who covers his clothing with violence,” says Yahweh of hosts. “You must be attentive to your spirit and you must not be unfaithful.”
耶和华以色列的神说: “我恨恶休妻和以强暴待妻子. ”万军之耶和华说: “所以要谨守你们的灵性, 不可行诡诈的事. ”

2:17 You have wearied Yahweh with your words, but you ask, “With what have we wearied him?” You have done so when you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Yahweh, and in them he delights,” or “Where is the God of justice?”
你们用自己的言语使耶和华厌烦, 你们还说: “我们怎样使他厌烦呢? ”因为你们说: “作恶的, 耶和华都看为善, 并且喜悦他们. ”或说: “公义的神在哪里呢? ”

Malachi - Chapter 3

3:1 “Look! I am going to send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you are seeking will come suddenly to his temple, and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you are taking pleasure—look!—he is about to come,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “看哪! 我派我的使者, 在我前面预备道路; 你们所寻求的主, 必忽然进入他的殿; 你们所爱慕立约的使者, 就要来到. ”

3:2 And who can endure the day of his coming? And who is the one who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, like launderers’ alkali.
可是, 他来的日子, 谁能当得起呢? 他显现的时候, 谁能站立得住呢? 因为他像炼金之人的火, 又像漂布之人的碱.

3:3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the children of Levi, and he will refine them like gold and like silver, and they will present to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.
他必坐着, 像熬炼和洁净银子的人; 他必洁净利未人, 炼净他们像炼净金银一样. 这样, 他们就会凭公义献礼物给耶和华.

3:4 And the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to Yahweh, like in the days of old and like in former years.
那时, 犹大和耶路撒冷所献的礼物, 必蒙耶和华悦纳, 正如古时的日子, 也像往昔之年一样.

3:5 “Then I will approach you for judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers, and against those who swear falsely, and against the oppressors of the hired worker with his wages, the widow and the orphan, and the abusers of the alien, and yet do not fear me,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “我必临近你们施行审判; 我要快快指证那些行邪术的,犯奸淫的,起假誓的,在工钱上欺压雇工的,欺压孤儿寡妇的,屈枉寄居的和不敬畏我的. ”

3:6 “For I, Yahweh, have not changed, and you, O children of Jacob, have not perished.
万军之耶和华说: “因为我耶和华是不改变的, 所以你们雅各的子孙也不会灭没.

3:7 From the days of your ancestors you have turned aside from my rules, and have not kept them! Return to me and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts, “but you say, ‘How shall we return?’
“从你们列祖的日子以来, 你们就偏离了我的律例而不遵守. 现在你们要转向我, 我就必转向你们. 你们还问: ‘我们要怎样回转呢? ’

3:8 Will a human dare to rob God? Yet you are robbing me! And you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In the tithes and the contributions!
人怎可抢夺神之物呢? 你们却抢夺属我之物, 竟还问: ‘我们抢夺了你的什么呢? ’就是抢夺了当纳的十分之一和当献的祭物.

3:9 You are being cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you!
你们要受严厉的咒诅, 因你们全国的人都抢夺了属我之物. ”

3:10 Bring the whole tithe to the storehouse, so that there will be food in my house, and test me please in this,” says Yahweh of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour forth for you an overflowing blessing.
万军之耶和华说: “你们要把当纳的十分之一, 全部送入仓库, 使我家中有粮; 借此试验我, 看我是不是为你们敞开天窗, 把福气倒给你们, 直到充足有余呢. ”

3:11 I will rebuke the devourer for you; it will not destroy the fruit of your soil; your vine in the field will not be unfruitful,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “我必为你们斥责那吞吃者, 不容他毁坏你们地上的果实, 也不让你们田间的葡萄在未熟以先就掉下来. ”

3:12 “And all the nations will call you blessed, because you will be a land in which one takes joy,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “万国都要称你们为有福, 因为你们的地必成为喜乐之地. ”

3:13 “Your words have been harsh against me,” says Yahweh. “But you say, ‘How have we spoken together against you?’
耶和华说: “你们用无礼的话顶撞我. 你们还问: ‘我们用什么话顶撞了你呢? ’

3:14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God! What is the gain if we keep his requirements, and if we walk as mourners before Yahweh of hosts?
你们说: ‘事奉神是白费的; 遵守他的吩咐, 在万军之耶和华面前哀痛而行, 有什么益处呢?

3:15 And now we are calling the arrogant blessed! Not only do those who do wickedness prosper; they also test God and they escape!’ ”
现在我们称骄傲的人为有福, 作恶的人得建立; 他们虽然试探神, 却得以逃脱. ’”

3:16 Then those who revered Yahweh spoke with one another. And Yahweh listened attentively and heard, and a scroll of remembrance was written before him of those who revere Yahweh and ponder his name.
那时, 敬畏耶和华的人彼此谈论, 耶和华也留意细听; 在他面前有记录册, 记录那些敬畏耶和华和思念他名的人.

3:17 “They will be mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the day that I am acting, my treasured possession. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.
万军之耶和华说: “在我施行作为的日子, 他们要属我, 作特别的产业; 我必怜恤他们, 好像人怜恤那服事自己的儿子一样.

3:18 You will return and see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve him.
那时, 你们就要再看出义人与恶人,事奉神的人和不事奉他的人之间有什么分别. ”

Malachi - Chapter 4

4:1 “For look! The day is about to come, burning like an oven, and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble. The coming day will consume them,” says Yahweh of hosts. “It will not leave behind for them root or branch.
万军之耶和华说: “看哪! 那日来到, 像烧着的火炉一样; 骄傲的和作恶的, 都必成为碎秸; 那要来的日子, 必把他们烧尽, 不给他们留下一根一枝.

4:2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise, with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like fattened calves.
可是, 对你们敬畏我名的人, 必有公义的太阳升起来; 它的光线有医治的功能; 你们必出来跳跃, 像栏里的肥牛犊. ”

4:3 You will trample down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I am going to act,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “你们必践踏恶人; 在我施行作为的日子, 他们必在你们脚掌之下成为尘土.

4:4 “Remember the instruction of my servant Moses, which I commanded him at Horeb to all Israel, the rules and regulations.
“你们要谨记我仆人摩西的律法, 就是我在何烈山为以色列众人所吩咐他的律例和典章.

4:5 Look! I am going to send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh!
“看哪! 在耶和华大而可畏的日子来到以先, 我必差派以利亚先知到你们那里去.

4:6 And he will bring back the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with a ban.”
他要使父亲的心转向儿女, 儿女的心转向父亲, 免得我来击打这地, 以至完全毁灭. ”

这样, 从亚伯拉罕到大卫, 一共是十四代; 从大卫到被掳到巴比伦的时候, 也是十四代; 从被掳到巴比伦的时候到基督, 又是十四代.

1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
耶稣基督的降生是这样的: 耶稣的母亲马利亚许配了约瑟, 他们还没有成亲, 马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕.

1:19 So Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, intended to divorce her secretly.
她丈夫约瑟是个义人, 不愿张扬使她受辱, 就打算暗中与她解除婚约.

1:20 But as he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
他一直想着这些事, 主的使者就在梦中向他显现, 说: “大卫的子孙约瑟, 只管放胆把你的妻子马利亚迎娶过来, 因为她怀的孕是从圣灵来的.

1:21 And she will give birth to a son, and you will call his name ‘Jesus,’ because he will save his people from their sins.”
她必生一个儿子, 你要给他起名叫耶稣, 因为他要把自己的子民从罪恶中拯救出来. ”

1:22 Now all this happened in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
这整件事的发生, 是要应验主借着先知所说的:

1:23 “Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
“必有童女怀孕生子, 他的名要叫以马内利. ”以马内利就是“神与我们同在”的意思.

约瑟睡醒了, 就照着主的使者所吩咐的, 把妻子迎娶过来;

1:25 and did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

Matthew - Chapter 2

2:1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
希律王执政的时候, 耶稣生在犹太的伯利恒. 那时, 有几个占星家从东方来到耶路撒冷,

2:2 saying, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star at its rising and have come to worship him.”
说: “那生下来作犹太人的王的在哪里? 我们看见他的星出现, 特来朝拜他. ”

2:3 And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him,
希律王听见了就心里不安, 全耶路撒冷的居民也是这样.

2:4 and after calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ was to be born.
他就召集所有的祭司长和民间的经学家, 问他们基督应该生在哪里.

2:5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet,
他们回答: “在犹太的伯利恒. 因为有先知在经上这样说:

2:6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for from you will go out a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’ ”
‘犹大地的伯利恒啊! 你在犹大的领袖中, 并不是最小的, 因为必有一位领袖从你那里出来, 牧养我的子民以色列. ’”

2:7 Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and determined precisely from them the time when the star appeared.
希律暗中把占星家召来, 仔细查问他们, 那颗星什么时候出现,

2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go, inquire carefully concerning the child, and when you have found him, report to me so that I also may come and worship him.”
然后派他们到伯利恒去, 说: “你们去细心寻访那小孩, 找到了就向我报告, 好叫我也去拜他. ”

2:9 After they listened to the king, they went out, and behold, the star which they had seen at its rising led them until it came and stood above the place where the child was.
他们听命去了. 他们在东方看见的那颗星, 忽然在他们前头, 领他们到那小孩所在的地方, 就在上头停住了.

2:10 Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
他们看见那颗星, 欢喜极了;

2:11 And when they came into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. And opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
进了房子, 看见小孩和他母亲马利亚, 就俯伏拜他, 并且打开宝盒, 把黄金,乳香,没药作礼物献给他.

2:12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another route.
后来他们在梦中得着指示不要回到希律那里去, 就从别的路回乡去了.

2:13 Now after they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.”
他们走了以后, 主的使者在梦中向约瑟显现, 说: “起来, 带着孩子和他母亲逃到埃及去, 留在那里, 直到我再指示你, 因为希律要寻找这孩子, 把他杀掉. ”

2:14 So he got up and took the child and his mother during the night and went away to Egypt.
约瑟就起来, 连夜带着孩子和他母亲往埃及去,

2:15 And he was there until the death of Herod, in order that what was said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
住在那里, 直到希律死了, 为的是要应验主借先知所说的: “我从埃及召我的儿子出来. ”

2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deceived by the wise men, became very angry, and he sent soldiers and executed all the children in Bethlehem and in all the region around it from the age of two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined precisely from the wise men.
希律见自己被占星家愚弄了, 就大怒, 于是照着他从占星家所问得的日子, 下令把伯利恒和附近地方, 两岁以下的小孩全都杀死.

2:17 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying,
这就应验了耶利米先知所说的:

2:18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because they exist no longer.”
“在拉玛听见有声音, 是痛哭,极大哀号的声音; 拉结为她的儿女哀哭, 不肯受安慰, 因为他们都不在了. ”

2:19 Now after Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
希律死后, 在埃及, 主的使者在梦中向约瑟显现,

2:20 saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead.”
说: “那些要杀害这孩子的人已经死了. 起来, 带着孩子和他母亲回以色列地去吧. ”

2:21 So he got up and took the child and his mother and entered the land of Israel.
约瑟就起来, 带着小孩子和他母亲回到以色列地.

2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream, he took refuge in the regions of Galilee.
只是听见亚基老接续他父亲希律作了犹太王, 他就不敢到犹太地去; 又在梦中得了指示, 于是往加利利境去,

2:23 And he came and lived in a town called Nazareth, in order that what was said by the prophets would be fulfilled: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
来到拿撒勒城住下, 这样就应验了先知所说的: “他必称为拿撒勒人. ”

Matthew - Chapter 3

3:1 Now in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the Judean wilderness
那时, 施洗的约翰出来, 在犹太的旷野传道,

3:2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near!”
说: “天国近了, 你们应当悔改. ”

3:3 For this is the one who was spoken about by the prophet Isaiah, saying, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’ ”
以赛亚先知所说: “在旷野有呼喊者的声音: ‘预备主的道, 修直他的路! ’”就是指着这约翰说的.

3:4 Now John himself had his clothing made from camel’s hair and a belt made of leather around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服, 腰束皮带, 吃的是蝗虫和野蜜.

3:5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan were going out to him,
耶路撒冷,犹太全地和约旦河一带的人都出来到他那里去,

3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.
承认自己的罪, 在约旦河里受了他的洗.

3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人也来受他的洗, 就对他们说: “毒蛇所生的啊, 谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢?

3:8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
应当结出果子来, 与悔改的心相称.

3:9 And do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
你们心里不要以为: ‘我们有亚伯拉罕作我们的祖宗. ’我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起后裔来.

3:10 Already now the ax is positioned at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
现在斧头已经放在树根上, 所有不结好果子的树, 就砍下来, 丢在火里.

3:11 I baptize you with water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is more powerful than I am, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
我用水给你们施洗, 表示你们悔改; 但在我以后要来的那一位, 能力比我更大, 我就是替他提鞋也没有资格. 他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗.

3:12 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will clean out his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
他手里拿着簸箕, 要扬净麦场, 把麦子收进仓里, 却用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽. ”

3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John in order to be baptized by him.
那时, 耶稣从加利利来到约旦河约翰那里, 要受他的洗.

3:14 But John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
约翰想要阻止他, 说: “我应该受你的洗, 你却到我这里来吗? ”

3:15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it now, for in this way it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted him.
耶稣回答: “暂且这样作吧. 我们理当这样履行全部的义. ”于是约翰答应了他.

3:16 Now after he was baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water, and behold, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove coming upon him.
耶稣受了洗, 立刻从水中上来; 忽然, 天为他开了, 他看见神的灵, 好像鸽子降下来, 落在他身上;

3:17 And behold, there was a voice from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
又有声音从天上来, 说: “这是我的爱子, 我所喜悦的. ”

Matthew - Chapter 4

4:1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil,
随后, 耶稣被圣灵带到旷野, 受魔鬼的试探.

4:2 and after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he was hungry.
耶稣禁食了四十昼夜, 就饿了,

4:3 And the tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order that these stones become bread.”
试探者前来对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 就吩咐这些石头变成食物吧! ”

4:4 But he answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.”
耶稣回答: “经上记着: ‘人活着, 不是单靠食物, 更要靠神口里所出的一切话. ’”

4:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the highest point of the temple
随后, 魔鬼带耶稣进了圣城, 使他站在殿顶上,

4:6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down! For it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 就跳下去吧! 因为经上记着: ‘神为了你, 会吩咐自己的使者用手托住你, 免得你的脚碰到石头. ’”

4:7 Jesus said to him, “On the other hand it is written, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”
耶稣对他说: “经上又记着: ‘不可试探主你的神. ’”

4:8 Again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
最后, 魔鬼带耶稣上了一座极高的山, 把世界各国和各国的荣华都指给他看.

4:9 and he said to him, “I will give to you all these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
并且对他说: “你只要跪下来拜我, 我就把这一切都给你. ”

4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan, for it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ”
但耶稣说: “撒但, 走开! 经上记着: ‘当拜主你的神, 单要事奉他. ’”

于是魔鬼离开了耶稣, 有天使前来服事他.

4:12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
耶稣听见约翰被捕, 就往加利利去.

4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
他又离开拿撒勒, 往西布伦和拿弗他利境内近海的迦百农去, 住在那里,

4:14 in order that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,
为了要应验以赛亚先知所说的:

4:15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, toward the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
“西布伦地,拿弗他利地, 沿海之路, 约旦河外, 外族人的加利利啊!

4:16 the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death, a light has dawned on them.”
住在黑暗中的人民, 看见了大光; 死亡幽暗之地的居民, 有光照亮他们. ”

4:17 From that time on, Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near.”
从那时起, 耶稣就开始传道, 说: “天国近了, 你们应当悔改. ”

4:18 Now as he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, throwing a casting net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
耶稣在加利利海边行走的时候, 看见兄弟二人, 就是名叫彼得的西门和他的弟弟安得烈, 正在把网撒到海里去; 他们是渔夫.

4:19 And he said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of people.”
耶稣就对他们说: “来跟从我, 我要使你们作得人的渔夫. ”

4:20 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
他们立刻撇下网, 跟从了他.

4:21 And going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.
耶稣又往前走, 看见另一对兄弟, 就是西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰, 正和父亲西庇太在船上整理鱼网, 他就呼召他们.

4:22 And immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
他们立刻离了船, 别了父亲, 跟从了耶稣.

4:23 And he went around through all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
耶稣走遍加利利, 在各会堂里教导人, 宣扬天国的福音, 医治民间各种疾病,各种病症.

4:24 And a report about him went out throughout Syria, and they brought to him all those who were sick with various diseases and afflicted by torments, demon-possessed and epileptics and paralytics, and he healed them.
他的名声传遍了叙利亚全地, 人们就把一切患病的, 就是患各种疾病,疼痛,鬼附,癫痫,瘫痪的, 都带到他面前, 他就医好他们.

4:25 And large crowds followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the other side of the Jordan.
于是有许多人从加利利,低加波利,耶路撒冷,犹太和约旦河东来跟从耶稣.

Matthew - Chapter 5

5:1 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain and after he sat down, his disciples approached him.
耶稣看见群众, 就上了山; 他坐下之后, 门徒来到他跟前,

人若因我的缘故辱骂你们, 迫害你们, 并且捏造各样坏话毁谤你们, 你们就有福了.

5:12 Rejoice and be glad, because your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
你们应该欢喜快乐, 因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的; 在你们以前的先知, 他们也曾这样迫害.

5:14 You are the light of the world. A city located on top of a hill cannot be hidden,
你们是世上的光. 建在山上的城是无法隐藏的;

5:15 nor do they light a lamp and place it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house.
人点了灯, 不会放在量器底下, 而是放在灯台上, 就照亮一家人.

5:16 In the same way let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
照样, 你们的光也应当照在人前, 让他们看见你们的好行为, 又颂赞你们在天上的父.

5:17 “Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have not come to destroy them but to fulfill them.
“你们不要以为我来是要废除律法和先知; 我来不是要废除, 而是要完成.

5:18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one tiny letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all takes place.
我实在告诉你们, 就算天地过去, 律法的一点一画也不会废去, 全部都要成就.

5:19 Therefore whoever abolishes one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever keeps them and teaches them, this person will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
因此, 无论谁废除诫命中最小的一条, 又这样教导人, 他在天国中必称为最小的; 但若有人遵行这些诫命, 并且教导人遵行, 他在天国中必称为大.

5:20 For I say to you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven.
我告诉你们, 你们的义若不胜过经学家和法利赛人的义, 就必不能进天国.

5:21 “You have heard that it was said to the people of old, ‘Do not commit murder,’ and ‘whoever commits murder will be subject to judgment.’
“你们听过有这样吩咐古人的话: ‘不可杀人, 杀人的必被判罪. ’

5:22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother will be subject to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Stupid fool!’ will be subject to the council, and whoever says, ‘Obstinate fool!’ will be subject to fiery hell.
可是我告诉你们, 凡是向弟兄发怒的, 必被判罪. 人若说弟兄是‘拉加’, 必被公议会审判; 人若说弟兄是‘摩利’, 必难逃地狱的火.

5:23 Therefore if you present your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
所以你在祭坛上献供物的时候, 如果在那里想起你的弟兄对你不满,

5:24 leave your gift there before the altar and first go be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your gift.
就当在坛前放下供物, 先去与弟兄和好, 然后才来献你的供物.

5:25 Settle the case quickly with your accuser while you are with him on the way, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
趁着你和你的对头还在路上的时候, 要赶快与他和解, 免得他抓你去见法官, 法官把你交给狱警, 关在监里.

5:26 Truly I say to you, you will never come out of there until you have paid back the last penny!
我实在告诉你, 除非你还清最后一分钱, 否则决不能从那里出来.

5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
“你们听过有这样的吩咐: ‘不可奸淫. ’

5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
可是我告诉你们, 凡是看见妇女就动淫念的, 心里已经犯了奸淫.

5:29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell.
如果你的右眼使你犯罪, 就把它挖出来丢掉; 宁可失去身体的一部分, 胜过全身被丢进地狱里.

5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your limbs be destroyed than your whole body go into hell.
如果你的右手使你犯罪, 就把它砍下来丢掉; 宁可失去身体的一部分, 胜过全身进到地狱里去.

5:31 “And it was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
“又有这样的吩咐: ‘人若休妻, 就应当给她休书. ’

5:32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
可是我告诉你们, 凡休妻的, 如果不是因她不贞, 就是促使她犯奸淫; 无论谁娶了被休的妇人, 也就是犯奸淫了.

5:33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the people of old, ‘Do not swear falsely, but fulfill your oaths to the Lord.’
“你们又听过有这样吩咐古人的话: ‘不可背约, 向主许的愿都要偿还. ’

5:34 But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, because it is the throne of God,
可是我告诉你们, 总不可发誓, 不可指着天发誓, 因为天是神的宝座;

5:35 or by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king.
不可指着地发誓, 因为地是神的脚凳; 不可指着耶路撒冷发誓, 因为它是大君王的京城;

5:36 And do not swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
也不可指着自己的头发誓, 因为你不能使一根头发变白或变黑.

5:37 But let your statement be ‘Yes, yes; no, no,’ and anything beyond these is from the evil one.
你们的话, 是就说‘是’, 不是就说‘不是’; 如果再多说, 就是出于那恶者.

5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
“你们听过有这样的吩咐: ‘以眼还眼, 以牙还牙. ’

5:39 But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer, but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also.
可是我告诉你们, 不要与恶人对抗, 有人打你的右脸, 把另一边也转过来让他打;

5:40 And the one who wants to go to court with you and take your tunic, let him have your outer garment also.
有人要告你, 想拿你的衬衫, 就连外套也让他拿去.

5:41 And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
有人要强迫你走一里路, 就陪他走两里.

5:42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
有求你的, 就给他; 想借贷的, 也不可拒绝.

5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’
“你们听过有这样的吩咐: ‘当爱你的邻舍, 恨你的仇敌. ’

5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
可是我告诉你们, 当爱你们的仇敌, 为迫害你们的祈祷,

5:45 in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven, because he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust.
好叫你们成为你们天父的儿子; 因为他使太阳照恶人, 也照好人; 降雨给义人, 也给不义的人.

5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not the tax collectors also do the same?

你们中间谁能用忧虑使自己的寿命延长一刻呢?

6:28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not toil or spin,

我自己是在别人的权下, 也有兵在我以下; 我对这个说‘去! ’他就去, 对另一个说‘来! ’他就来; 对仆人说‘作这个! ’他就作. ”

耶稣对他们说: “出去吧! ”他们就出来, 进了猪群. 那一群猪忽然闯下山崖, 掉在海里淹死了.

9:33 And after the demon had been expelled, the one who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished, saying, “This has never been seen before in Israel!”
耶稣把鬼赶走之后, 哑巴就说话了. 众人都很惊奇, 说: “这样的事, 在以色列从来没有见过. ”

9:34 But the Pharisees were saying, “By the ruler of demons he expels the demons!”
但法利赛人说: “他不过是靠鬼王赶鬼罢了. ”

9:35 And Jesus was going around all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness.
耶稣走遍各城各乡, 在各会堂里教导人, 宣扬天国的福音, 医治各种疾病,各种病症.

9:36 And when he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were weary and dejected, like sheep that did not have a shepherd.
他看见群众, 就怜悯他们, 因为他们困苦无依, 像没有牧人的羊一样.

9:37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
他就对门徒说: “庄稼多, 工人少;

9:38 Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest.”
所以你们应当求庄稼的主派工人去收割. ”

Matthew - Chapter 11

11:1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished giving orders to his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and to preach in their towns.
耶稣吩咐完了十二门徒, 就离开那里, 在各城里施教传道.

11:2 Now when John heard in prison the deeds of Christ, he sent word by his disciples
约翰在监狱里听见基督所作的, 就派门徒去问他:

11:3 and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
“你就是那位要来的, 还是我们要等别人呢? ”

11:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:
耶稣回答他们: “你们回去, 把听见和看见的都告诉约翰,

11:5 the blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have good news announced to them.
就是瞎的可以看见, 瘸的可以走路, 患痲风的得到洁净, 聋的可以听见, 死人复活, 穷人有福音听.

11:6 And whoever is not offended by me is blessed.”
那不被我绊倒的, 就有福了. ”

11:7 Now as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
他们走了之后, 耶稣对群众讲起约翰来, 说: “你们到旷野去, 是要看什么? 被风吹动的芦苇吗?

11:8 But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the houses of kings.
你们出去到底要看什么? 身穿华丽衣裳的人吗? 那些穿着华丽衣裳的人, 是在王宫里的.

11:9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
那么, 你们出去要看什么? 先知吗? 我告诉你们, 是的. 他比先知重要得多了.

11:10 It is this man about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
经上所记: ‘看哪, 我差遣我的使者在你面前, 他必在你前头预备你的道路. ’这句话是指着他说的.

11:11 Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen one greater than John the Baptist. But the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
我实在告诉你们, 妇人所生的, 没有一个比施洗的约翰更大; 然而天国里最小的比他还大.

11:12 But from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven is treated violently, and the violent claim it.
从施洗的约翰的时候直到现在, 天国不断遭受猛烈的攻击, 强暴的人企图把它夺去.

11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John,
所有的先知和律法, 直到约翰为止, 都说了预言.

11:14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is going to come.
如果你们肯接受, 约翰就是那要来的以利亚.

11:15 The one who has ears, let him hear!
有耳的, 就应当听.

11:16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another,
“我要把这世代比作什么呢? 它好像一些小孩子坐在市中心, 呼叫别的小孩子,

11:17 saying, ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not mourn.’
说: ‘我们给你们吹笛子, 你们却不跳舞; 我们唱哀歌, 你们也不捶胸. ’

11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
约翰来了, 不吃也不喝, 人说他是鬼附的;

11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a man who is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
人子来了, 又吃又喝, 人却说: ‘你看, 这人贪食好酒, 与税吏和罪人为友. ’但智慧借着它所作的, 就证实是公义的了. ”

11:20 Then he began to reproach the towns in which the majority of his miracles had been done, because they did not repent:
那时, 耶稣责备那些他曾在那里行过许多神迹的城, 因为它们不肯悔改:

11:21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
“哥拉逊啊, 你有祸了! 伯赛大啊, 你有祸了! 在你们那里行过的神迹, 如果行在推罗和西顿, 它们早已披麻蒙灰悔改了.

11:22 Nevertheless I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and for Sidon on the day of judgment than for you!
但我告诉你们, 在审判的日子, 推罗和西顿所受的, 比你们还轻呢.

11:23 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until today.
迦百农啊! 你会被高举到天上吗? 你必降到阴间. 在你那里行过的神迹, 如果行在所多玛, 那城还会存留到今天.

11:24 Nevertheless I tell you that it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you!”
但我告诉你们, 在审判的日子, 所多玛那地方所受的, 比你还轻呢. ”

11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to young children.
就在那时候, 耶稣说: “父啊, 天地的主, 我赞美你, 因为你把这些事向智慧和聪明的人隐藏起来, 却向婴孩显明.

11:26 Yes, Father, for to do so was your gracious will.
父啊, 是的, 这就是你的美意.

11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wants to reveal him.
我父已经把一切交给我; 除了父没有人认识子, 除了子和子所愿意启示的人, 没有人认识父.

11:28 Come to me, all of you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
你们所有劳苦担重担的人哪, 到我这里来吧! 我必使你们得安息.

11:29 Take my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
我心里柔和谦卑, 你们应当负我的轭, 向我学习, 你们就必得着心灵的安息;

11:30 For my yoke is easy to carry and my burden is light.”
我的轭是容易负的, 我的担子是轻省的. ”

Matthew - Chapter 12

12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. And his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck off heads of grain and eat them.
安息日那天, 耶稣从麦田经过; 他的门徒饿了, 就摘了些麦穗来吃.

12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!”
法利赛人看见了, 就对他说: “你看, 你的门徒作了安息日不可作的事. ”

12:3 So he said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him,
耶稣对他们说: “大卫和跟他在一起的人, 在饥饿的时候所作的, 你们没有念过吗?

12:4 how he entered into the house of God and ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not permitted for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?
他不是进了神的殿, 吃了他和跟他在一起的人不可以吃, 只有祭司才可以吃的陈设饼吗?

12:5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath and are guiltless?
律法书上记着: 安息日, 祭司在殿里供职, 触犯了安息日, 也不算有罪; 你们也没有念过吗?

12:6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here!
我告诉你们, 这里有一位是比圣殿更大的.

12:7 And if you had known what it means, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
如果你们明白‘我喜爱怜悯, 不喜爱祭祀’这句话的意思, 就不会把无罪的定罪了.

12:8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
因为人子是安息日的主. ”

12:9 And going on from there he came into their synagogue.
耶稣离开那里, 来到他们的会堂.

12:10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?” in order that they could accuse him.
会堂里有一个人, 他的一只手枯干了. 有人问耶稣: “在安息日治病, 可以吗? ”目的是要控告耶稣.

12:11 But he said to them, “What man will there be among you who will have one sheep and if this one fell into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
耶稣回答: “你们当中有哪一个, 他仅有的一只羊在安息日跌进坑里, 会不把羊抓住拉上来呢?

12:12 Then to what degree is a man worth more than a sheep? So then, it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath.”
人比羊贵重得多了! 所以, 在安息日行善是可以的. ”

12:13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand,” and he stretched it out, and it was restored as healthy as the other one.
于是对那人说: “伸出手来! ”他把手一伸, 就复原了, 好像另一只手一样.

12:14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him in order that they could destroy him.
法利赛人出去, 商议怎样对付耶稣, 好杀掉他.

12:15 Now Jesus, when he learned of it, withdrew from there, and many followed him, and he healed them all.
耶稣知道了, 就离开那里. 有很多人跟随他, 他医好他们所有的病人,

12:16 And he warned them that they should not reveal his identity,
又嘱咐他们不可替他张扬.

12:17 in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,
这就应验了以赛亚先知所说的:

12:18 “Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
“看哪! 我所拣选的仆人, 我所爱, 心里所喜悦的; 我要把我的灵赐给他, 他必向万国宣扬公理.

12:19 He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
他不争吵, 也不喧嚷, 人在街上听不见他的声音.

12:20 A crushed reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish, until he brings justice to victory.
压伤的芦苇, 他不折断, 将残的灯火, 他不吹灭; 直到他施行公理, 使公理得胜.

12:21 And in his name the Gentiles will hope.
万民都要寄望于他的名. ”

12:22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to him. And he healed him so that the man who was mute could speak and see.
有人带了一个被鬼附着,又瞎又哑的人到耶稣那里. 耶稣医好了他, 那哑巴就能说话, 也能看见了.

12:23 And all the crowds were amazed and began saying, “Perhaps this one is the Son of David!”
群众都很惊奇, 说: “难道他就是大卫的子孙? ”

12:24 But the Pharisees, when they heard it, said, “This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!”
法利赛人听见了, 说: “这个人赶鬼, 只不过是靠鬼王别西卜罢了. ”

12:25 But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
耶稣知道他们的心思, 就对他们说: “如果一个国家自相纷争, 就必定荒凉; 一城一家自相纷争, 必站立不住.

12:26 And if Satan expels Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
如果撒但赶逐撒但, 就会自相纷争. 那么, 他的国怎能站立得住呢?

12:27 And if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel them? For this reason they will be your judges!
我若靠别西卜赶鬼, 你们的子孙又靠谁呢? 这样, 他们就要断定你们的不是.

12:28 But if I expel demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you!
我若靠神的灵赶鬼, 神的国就已经临到你们了.

12:29 Or how can someone enter into the house of a strong man and steal his property, unless he first ties up the strong man? And then he can thoroughly plunder his house.
如果不先把壮汉绑起来, 怎能进到他的家里, 抢夺财物呢? 如果绑起来了, 就可以抢劫他的家了.

12:30 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
不站在我这一边的就是反对我的, 不跟我一起收聚的, 就是分散的.

12:31 For this reason I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven!
因此, 我告诉你们, 人的一切罪和亵渎的话, 都可以赦免; 可是, 亵渎圣灵就得不着赦免.

12:32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the coming one!
无论谁说话得罪了人子, 还可以赦免; 但说话得罪了圣灵的, 今生来世都得不着赦免.

12:33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit is good, or make the tree bad and its fruit is bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.
“你们种好树就结好果子, 种坏树就结坏果子; 凭着果子就能认出树来.

12:34 Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things when you are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
毒蛇所生的啊, 你们既然是邪恶的, 怎能说出良善的话? 因为心中所充满的, 口里就说出来.

12:35 The good person from his good treasury brings out good things, and the evil person from his evil treasury brings out evil things.
良善的人从他良善的心(“心”原文作“库房”)发出良善, 邪恶的人从他邪恶的心(“心”原文作“库房”)发出邪恶.

12:36 But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment!
我告诉你们, 人所说的闲话, 在审判的日子, 句句都要供出来,

12:37 For by your words you will be vindicated, and by your words you will be condemned.”
因为你要照你的话被称为义, 或定为有罪. ”

12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you!”
当时, 有一些经学家和法利赛人对耶稣说: “老师, 我们想请你显个神迹看看. ”

12:39 But he answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation desires a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah!
但耶稣说: “邪恶和淫乱的世代寻求神迹, 除了约拿先知的神迹以外, 再没有神迹给你们了.

12:40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
约拿怎样三日三夜在大鱼的腹中, 人子也要照样三日三夜在地里.

12:41 The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here!
审判的时候, 尼尼微人要和这个世代一同起来, 定这个世代的罪, 因为他们听了约拿所传的就悔改了. 你看, 这里有一位是比约拿更大的.

12:42 The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here!
审判的时候, 南方的女王要和这个世代一同起来, 定这个世代的罪, 因为她从地极来到, 要听所罗门智慧的话. 你看, 这里有一位是比所罗门更大的.

12:43 “Now whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it.
“有一个污灵离开了一个人, 走遍干旱之地, 寻找栖身的地方, 却没有找到.

12:44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’ And when it arrives it finds the house unoccupied and swept and put in order.
他就说: ‘我要回到我从前离开了的那房子. ’到了之后, 看见里面空着, 已经打扫干净, 粉饰好了,

12:45 Then it goes and brings along with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first. So it will be for this evil generation also!”
他就去带了另外七个比自己更恶的污灵来, 一齐进去住在那里; 那人后来的情况, 比以前更坏了. 这邪恶的世代也会这样. ”

12:46 And while he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and brothers were standing there outside, desiring to speak to him.
耶稣还在对群众讲话的时候, 他的母亲和弟弟站在外面, 要找他讲话.

12:47 And someone told him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing there outside desiring to speak to you.”
有人告诉耶稣: “你的母亲和弟弟站在外面, 有话要跟你说. ”

12:48 But he answered and said to the one who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
他回答那人: “谁是我的母亲? 谁是我的弟兄? ”

12:49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Behold my mother and my brothers!
他伸手指着门徒说: “你看, 我的母亲, 我的弟兄!

12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
凡是遵行我天父旨意的, 就是我的弟兄,姊妹和母亲了. ”

Matthew - Chapter 13

13:1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.
那一天, 耶稣从房子里出来, 坐在海边.

13:2 And large crowds gathered close around him, so that he got into a boat to sit down, and all the crowd was standing on the shore.
有很多人聚集到他那里. 于是, 他上船坐下来, 众人都站在岸上.

13:3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow,
他用比喻对众人讲了许多事, 说: “有一个撒种的出去撒种.

13:4 and while he was sowing, some seed fell on the side of the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
撒的时候, 有的落在路旁, 小鸟飞来就吃掉了.

13:5 And other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once because it did not have any depth of soil.
有的落在泥土不多的石地上, 因为泥土不深, 很快就长起来.

13:6 But when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have enough root, it withered.
但太阳一出来, 就把它晒干, 又因为没有根就枯萎了.

13:7 And other seed fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it.
有的落在荆棘里, 荆棘长大了, 就把它挤住.

13:8 But other seed fell on the good soil and produced grain, this one a hundred times as much and this one sixty and this one thirty.
有的落在好土里, 结出果实, 有一百倍的, 有六十倍的, 有三十倍的.

13:9 The one who has ears, let him hear!”
有耳的, 就应当听. ”

13:10 And the disciples came up and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
门徒上前问耶稣: “你对他们讲话, 为什么用比喻呢? ”

13:11 And he answered and said to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to those people it has not been granted.
他回答: “天国的奥秘, 只给你们知道, 却不给他们知道.

13:12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
因为凡是有的, 还要给他, 他就充足有余; 凡是没有的, 就连他有什么也要拿去.

13:13 For this reason I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand,
因此, 我用比喻对他们讲话, 因为他们看却看不见, 听也听不到, 也不明白.

13:14 and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, “You will listen carefully and will never understand, and you will look closely and will never perceive.
以赛亚的预言, 正应验在他们身上, 他说: ‘你们听是听见了, 总是不明白; 看是看见了, 总是不领悟.

13:15 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”
因为这人民的心思迟钝, 用不灵的耳朵去听, 又闭上了眼睛; 免得自己眼睛看见, 耳朵听见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 我就医好他们. ’

13:16 But your eyes are blessed because they see, and your ears because they hear.
“你们的眼睛是有福的, 因为可以看见; 你们的耳朵是有福的, 因为可以听见.

13:17 For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it!
我实在告诉你们, 曾经有许多先知和义人想看你们所看见的, 却没有看到, 想听你们所听见的, 却没有听到.

13:18 “You, therefore, listen to the parable of the sower:
“所以你们要听这撒种人的比喻.

13:19 When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown on the side of the path.
凡是听了天国的道却不明白的, 那恶者就来把撒在他心中的夺去. 这就是撒在路旁的.

13:20 And what was sown on the rocky ground—this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
那撒在石地上的, 就是人听了道, 立刻欢欢喜喜地接受,

13:21 But he does not have a root in himself, but lasts only a little while, and when affliction or persecution happens because of the word, immediately he falls away.
可是他里面没有根, 只是暂时的; 一旦为道遭遇患难, 受到迫害, 就立刻跌倒了.

13:22 And what was sown into the thorn plants—this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of this world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word and it becomes unproductive.
那撒在荆棘里的, 就是人听了道, 有今世的忧虑和财富的迷惑把道挤住, 结不出果实来.

13:23 But what was sown on the good soil—this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces, this one a hundred times as much, and this one sixty, and this one thirty.”
那撒在好土里的, 就是人听了道, 又明白了, 结出果实来, 有一百倍的, 有六十倍的, 有三十倍的. ”

13:24 He put before them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
耶稣对他们另外讲了一个比喻, 说: “天国好像人把好的种子撒在田里.

13:25 But while his people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat and went away.
人们睡了的时候, 他的仇敌来把稗子撒在麦子中间, 就走了.

13:26 So when the wheat sprouted and yielded grain, then the darnel appeared also.
到了发苗吐穗的时候, 稗子也显出来.

13:27 So the slaves of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have darnel?’
仆人都前来问家主: ‘主人, 你不是把好的种子撒在田里吗? 那些稗子是从哪里来的呢? ’

13:28 And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ So the slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’
他回答: ‘这是仇敌所作的. ’仆人问他: ‘你要我们去拔掉它吗? ’

13:29 But he said, “No, lest when you gather the darnel you uproot the wheat together with it.
他说: ‘不用, 因为拔稗子的时候, 恐怕也把麦子连根拔出来.

13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the season of the harvest I will tell the reapers, “First gather the darnel and tie it into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my storehouse.” ’ ”
收割之前, 让它们一同生长. 到了收割的时候, 我会吩咐收割的工人先拔掉稗子, 捆起来, 留着焚烧, 却要把麦子收进我的仓里. ’”

13:31 He put before them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
耶稣又对他们讲了另外一个比喻, 说: “天国好像一粒芥菜种, 人拿去把它种在田里.

13:32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it is grown it is larger than the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”
它是种子中最小的, 但长大了, 却比其他的蔬菜都大, 成为一棵树, 甚至天空的飞鸟也来在它的枝头搭窝. ”

13:33 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and put into three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.”
他对他们讲了另一个比喻: “天国好像面酵, 妇女拿去放在三斗面里, 直到全团发起来. ”

13:34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables, and he was saying nothing to them without a parable,
耶稣用比喻向群众讲了这一切, 他所讲的, 没有不用比喻的.

13:35 in order that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, who said, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will proclaim what has been hidden since the creation.”
这就应验了先知所说的: “我要开口用比喻, 把创世以来隐秘的事说出来. ”

13:36 Then he left the crowds and came into the house, and his disciples came to him saying, “Explain the parable of the darnel in the field to us.”
耶稣离开群众, 进到屋里, 门徒前来问他: “请你给我们解释田里稗子的比喻. ”

13:37 So he answered and said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
他回答: “那撒好种子的是人子,

13:38 and the field is the world. And the good seed—these are the sons of the kingdom, but the darnel are the sons of the evil one.
田就是世界, 好种子就是属天国的人, 稗子就是属那恶者的人,

13:39 And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
撒稗子的仇敌是魔鬼, 收割的时候是这世代的终结, 收割的工人是天使.

13:40 Thus just as the darnel is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
稗子怎样被拔掉用火焚烧, 在这世代终结的时候, 也是一样.

13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all the causes of sin and those who do lawless deeds,
那时, 人子要差派他的使者, 把一切使人犯罪的事和不法之徒, 从他的国中拔掉,

13:42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
丢进火炉, 在那里必要哀哭切齿.

13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear!
那时, 义人在他们父的国中, 要像太阳一样的照耀. 有耳的, 就应当听.

13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, that a man found and concealed, and in his joy he goes and sells everything that he has and buys that field.
“天国好像藏在田里的宝贝, 有人发现了, 就把它藏起来, 高高兴兴地离去, 变卖了他的一切, 来买那田地.

13:45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
“天国好像一个商人, 搜罗宝贵的珍珠.

13:46 And when he found one very valuable pearl, he went and sold everything that he possessed and purchased it.
他发现了一颗极贵重的珍珠, 就离去, 变卖了他的一切, 来买那颗珍珠.

13:47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind,
“天国又好像一个网, 撒在海里, 网到各样的鱼.

13:48 which when it was filled they pulled to shore and sat down and collected the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw out.
网满了之后, 人就把网拉上岸, 坐下来把好的拣出, 收藏起来, 不好的就丢在外面.

13:49 Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from among the righteous
这世代终结的时候, 也是一样. 那时天使要出去, 把恶人从义人中分别出来.

13:50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
丢进火炉, 在那里必要哀哭切齿.

13:51 “Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.”
“这一切你们明白吗? ”他们回答: “明白. ”

13:52 And he said to them, “For this reason every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of the house who brings out of his storeroom new things and old things.”
耶稣说: “所以, 每一个作天国门徒的经学家, 就像家主从宝库中拿出新和旧的东西来. ”

13:53 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables he went away from there.
耶稣讲完了这些比喻, 就离开那地方.

13:54 And he came to his hometown and began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were amazed and said, “From where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?
他回到自己的家乡, 在会堂里教导人, 众人都惊奇, 说: “这个人的智慧和能力是从哪里来的呢?

13:55 Is not this one the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
他不是木匠的儿子吗? 他母亲不是马利亚, 他弟弟不是雅各,约瑟,西门和犹大吗?

13:56 And are not all his sisters with us? From where then did this man get all these things?”
他妹妹不是都在我们这里吗? 他这一切是从哪里来的呢? ”

13:57 And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown and in his own household.”
他们就厌弃耶稣. 耶稣对他们说: “先知除了在本乡本家之外, 没有不受人尊敬的. ”

13:58 And he did not perform many miracles in that place because of their unbelief.
因为他们不信, 他就不在那里多行神迹了.

Matthew - Chapter 14

14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
那时, 分封王希律听见耶稣的名声,

14:2 and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and for this reason miraculous powers are at work in him.”
就对臣仆说: “这人是施洗的约翰, 他从死人中复活, 所以他身上有行神迹的能力. ”

14:3 For Herod, after arresting John, bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip,
原来希律为了他弟弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故, 拘捕了约翰, 把他捆绑, 关在监里,

14:4 because John had been saying to him, “It is not permitted for you to have her.”
因为约翰多次告诉他: “你占有她是不合理的. ”

14:5 And although he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they looked upon him as a prophet.
他想杀约翰, 但又害怕群众, 因为他们都认为约翰是个先知.

14:6 But when Herod’s birthday celebration took place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst of them and pleased Herod.
到了希律生日的那天, 希罗底的女儿在众人面前跳舞, 希律非常高兴,

14:7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
就起誓答应她, 无论求什么都给她.

14:8 And coached by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter!”
她在母亲的怂恿之下, 说: “请把施洗的约翰的头放在盘子上给我. ”

14:9 And although the king was distressed, because of his oaths and his dinner guests he commanded the request to be granted.
王就忧愁, 但因为誓言和在座的宾客, 就下令给她.

14:10 And he sent orders and had John beheaded in the prison,
他派人去, 在监里斩了约翰的头,

14:11 and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

14:12 And his disciples came and took away the corpse and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
约翰的门徒前来, 领了尸体, 把它埋葬, 然后去告诉耶稣.

14:13 Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place by himself. And when the crowds heard it, they followed him by land from the towns.
耶稣听见了, 就离开那里, 独自坐船到旷野去. 群众听见了, 就从各城步行来跟随他.

14:14 And as he got out, he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them and healed their sick.
耶稣上了岸, 看见一大群人, 就怜悯他们, 医好了他们的病人.

14:15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him saying, “The place is desolate and the hour is late. Release the crowds so that they can go away into the villages and purchase food for themselves.”
黄昏的时候, 门徒前来对他说: “这是旷野的地方, 时间也不早了, 请叫群众散开, 好让他们往村里去, 买自己的食物吧. ”

14:16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
耶稣回答: “他们用不着离开, 你们给他们吃吧! ”

14:17 And they said to him, “We do not have anything here except five loaves and two fish.”
但门徒说: “我们这里除了五个饼和两条鱼, 什么也没有. ”

14:18 So he said, “Bring them here to me.”
他说: “拿过来给我. ”

14:19 And he commanded the crowds to recline for a meal on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks. And after breaking them, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
于是吩咐群众坐在草地上, 拿起那五个饼两条鱼, 望着天, 祝谢了; 然后把饼擘开, 递给门徒, 门徒又分给群众.

14:20 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
大家都吃了, 并且吃饱了, 他们把剩下的零碎拾起来, 装满了十二个篮子.

14:21 Now those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

14:22 And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent away the crowds.
耶稣立刻催门徒上船, 叫他们先到对岸去, 他却留下来叫群众散开.

14:23 And after he sent away the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. So when evening came, he was there alone.
他解散了群众, 就独自上山去祷告. 到了晚上, 他还是独自一人在那里.

14:24 But the boat was already many stadia distant from the land, being beaten by the waves, because the wind was against it.
那时门徒的船已经离岸数公里, 因为逆风, 被波浪冲击.

14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
天快亮的时候(“天快亮的时候”原文作“夜里四更天”), 耶稣在海面上向他们走过去.

14:26 But the disciples, when they saw him walking on the sea, were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear.
门徒见他在海面上行走, 就很惊慌, 说: “有鬼啊! ”并且恐惧得大叫起来.

14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Have courage, I am he! Do not be afraid!”
耶稣立刻对他们说: “放心吧! 是我, 不要怕. ”

14:28 And Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water!”
彼得对他说: “主啊, 如果是你, 让我在水面上到你那里去. ”

14:29 So he said, “Come!” And getting out of the boat, Peter walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
他说: “来吧! ”彼得就从船上下来, 行在水面上, 走向耶稣那里去.

14:30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
但他一见风浪就害怕, 快要沉下去的时候, 就呼叫: “主啊! 救我! ”

Matthew - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
有法利赛人和经学家从耶路撒冷前来, 问耶稣:

15:2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat a meal.”
“你的门徒为什么违背古人的传统, 在饭前不洗手呢? ”

15:3 So he answered and said to them, “Why do you also break the commandment of God because of your tradition?
耶稣回答: “你们又为什么因你们的传统, 违背神的诫命呢?

15:4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother must certainly die.’
神说: ‘当孝敬父母’, 又说: ‘咒骂父母的必被处死’.

15:5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or his mother, “Whatever benefit you would have received from me is a gift to God,”
你们却说: ‘人若对父母说: “我应该给你们的, 已经作了献给神的礼物”,

15:6 need not honor his father,’ and you make void the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
他就可以不孝敬父母了. ’你们因为你们的传统, 就废弃了神的话.

15:7 Hypocrites! Isaiah correctly prophesied about you saying,
伪君子啊, 以赛亚指着你们说的预言说得好:

15:8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me,
‘这人民用嘴唇尊敬我, 心却远离我;

15:9 and they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
他们把人的规条当作道理去教导人, 所以拜我也是徒然. ’”

15:10 And summoning the crowd, he said to them, “Hear and understand:
耶稣叫群众前来, 对他们说: “你们要听, 也要明白.

15:11 It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles a person.”
进到口里的不能使人污秽, 只有从口里出来的, 才能使人污秽. ”

15:12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
门徒前来告诉他: “法利赛人听了这话很生气, 你知道吗? ”

15:13 And he answered and said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
耶稣说: “所有不是我天父栽种的植物, 都要连根拔起来.

15:14 Let them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
由得他们吧! 他们是瞎眼的, 却作了向导; 如果瞎子领瞎子, 二人都会跌进坑里. ”

15:15 But Peter answered and said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”
彼得说: “请你给我们解释这个比喻吧. ”

15:16 But he said, “Are you also still without understanding?
耶稣说: “你们还是不明白吗?

15:17 Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and is evacuated into the latrine?
难道不知道一切进到口里的, 是进到肚腹, 然后排泄到外面去吗?

15:18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person.
但从口里出来的, 是发自内心, 才会使人污秽.

15:19 For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech.
因为从心里出来的, 有恶念,凶杀,奸淫,淫乱,偷盗,假见证和毁谤.

15:20 These are the things that defile a person. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person!”
这些才会使人污秽, 不洗手吃饭却不会这样. ”

15:21 And departing from there, Jesus went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
耶稣离开那里, 来到推罗,西顿境内.

15:22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that district came and cried out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
有一个迦南的妇人从那地区出来, 喊着说: “主啊, 大卫的子孙, 可怜我吧! 我的女儿被鬼附得很苦. ”

15:23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up and asked him, saying, “Send her away, because she is crying out after us!”
耶稣一句话也不回答她. 门徒上前求他说: “请叫她走吧, 她一直跟在我们后面喊叫. ”

15:24 But he answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
耶稣回答: “我被差遣, 只是到以色列家的迷羊那里去. ”

15:25 But she came and knelt down before him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
她来跪在耶稣面前说: “主啊, 求你帮助我! ”

15:26 And he answered and said, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs!”
耶稣回答: “拿儿女的饼丢给小狗吃是不好的. ”

15:27 So she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
她说: “主啊, 是的, 不过小狗也吃主人桌子上掉下来的碎渣. ”

15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you want.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
于是耶稣对她说: “妇人, 你的信心真大, 照你所想的给你成就吧! ”从那时起, 她的女儿就好了.

15:29 And departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee, and he went up on the mountain and was sitting there.
耶稣离开那里, 来到加利利海边, 就上山坐下.

15:30 And large crowds came to him, having with them the mute, blind, lame, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them.
有许多人来到他那里, 把瘸腿的,瞎眼的,残废的,哑的和许多别的病人, 都带到耶稣跟前, 他就医好他们.

15:31 So then the crowd was astonished when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.
群众看见哑巴说话, 残废的复原, 瘸腿的行走, 瞎眼的看见, 就十分惊奇, 于是颂赞以色列的神.

15:32 And Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat, and I do not want to send them away hungry lest they give out on the way.”
耶稣叫门徒前来, 说: “我怜悯这一群人, 因为他们跟我在一起已经有三天, 也没有什么吃的; 我不想叫他们饿着肚子回去, 恐怕他们在路上晕倒. ”

15:33 And the disciples said to him, “Where in this desolate place can we get so much bread that such a great crowd could be satisfied?”
门徒对他说: “我们在这旷野地方, 哪里有足够的食物给这许多的人吃饱呢? ”

15:34 And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” So they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
耶稣问他们: “你们有多少饼? ”他们说: “七个饼和几条小鱼. ”

15:35 And commanding the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground,
他就吩咐群众坐在地上,

15:36 he took the seven loaves and the fish and after he had given thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
拿起那七个饼和那些鱼, 祝谢了, 擘开递给门徒, 门徒又分给众人.

15:37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
大家都吃了, 并且吃饱了. 他们把剩下的零碎拾起来, 装满了七个大篮子.

15:38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
吃的人, 除了妇女和孩子, 共有四千.

15:39 And after he sent away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
耶稣解散了群众, 就上了船, 来到马加丹地区.

Matthew - Chapter 16

16:1 And when the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test him, they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
法利赛人和撒都该人前来试探耶稣, 求他显个从天上来的神迹给他们看.

16:2 So he answered and said to them, “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be fair weather because the sky is red,’
耶稣回答: “黄昏的时候, 你们说: ‘天色通红, 明天一定是晴天. ’

16:3 and early in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy weather, because the sky is red and darkening.’ You know how to evaluate correctly the appearance of the sky, but you are not able to evaluate the signs of the times.
早上的时候, 你们说: ‘天色又红又暗, 今天一定有风雨. ’你们知道分辨天色, 却不能分辨时代的征兆吗?

16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and a sign will not be given to it except the sign of Jonah!” And he left them and went away.
邪恶和淫乱的世代要寻求神迹, 除了约拿的神迹之外, 不会有什么神迹给它了. ”耶稣就离开他们走了.

16:5 And when the disciples arrived at the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
门徒到了对岸, 忘记了带饼.

16:6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out for and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
耶稣对他们说: “你们要小心, 提防法利赛人和撒都该人的酵. ”

16:7 So they were discussing this among themselves, saying, “It is because we did not take bread.”
他们就彼此议论说: “这是因为我们没有带饼吧. ”

16:8 But knowing this, Jesus said, “Why are you discussing among yourselves that you did not take bread, you of little faith?
耶稣知道了, 就说: “小信的人, 为什么议论没有饼这件事呢?

16:9 Do you not yet understand or do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
你们还不明白吗? 你们是不是忘记了那五个饼分给五千人, 又装满了多少个篮子呢?

16:10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you took up?
还是忘记了那七个饼分给四千人, 又装满了多少个大篮子呢?

16:11 How do you not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
我对你们讲的不是饼的事, 你们为什么不明白? 你们要提防法利赛人和撒都该人的酵. ”

16:12 Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
这时他们才领会耶稣说的不是要提防饼酵, 而是要提防法利赛人和撒都该人的教训.

16:13 Now when Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he began asking his disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
耶稣来到该撒利亚．腓立比的地区, 就问自己的门徒: “人说人子是谁? ”

16:14 And they said, Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
他们回答: “有人说是施洗的约翰, 有人说是以利亚, 也有人说是耶利米, 或是先知里的一位. ”

16:15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
他问他们: “你们说我是谁? ”

16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!”
西门．彼得回答: “你是基督, 是永生神的儿子. ”

16:17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
耶稣对他说: “约拿的儿子西门, 你是有福的, 因为这不是人(“人”原文作“肉和血”)指示你的, 而是我在天上的父启示你的.

16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it!
我告诉你, 你是彼得, 我要在这磐石上建立我的教会, 死亡的权势(“死亡的权势”原文作“阴间的门”)不能胜过他.

16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.”
我要把天国的钥匙给你, 你在地上捆绑的, 在天上也被捆绑; 你在地上释放的, 在天上也被释放. ”

16:20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was the Christ.
于是耶稣吩咐门徒不可对人说他就是基督.

16:21 From that time on Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
从那时起, 耶稣开始向门徒指出, 他必须往耶路撒冷去, 受长老,祭司长和经学家许多的苦害, 并且被杀, 第三天复活.

16:22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, God forbid, Lord! This will never happen to you!”
彼得就把他拉到一边, 责怪他说: “主啊, 千万不可这样, 这事一定不会发生在你身上的. ”

16:23 But he turned around and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a cause for stumbling to me, because you are not intent on the things of God, but the things of people!”
耶稣转过来对彼得说: “撒但! 退到我后面去! 你是绊倒我的, 因为你不思念神的事, 只思念人的事. ”

16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
于是耶稣对门徒说: “如果有人愿意跟从我, 就当舍己, 背起他的十字架来跟从我.

16:25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me will find it.
凡是想救自己生命的, 必丧掉生命; 但为我牺牲生命的, 必得着生命.

16:26 For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
人若赚得全世界, 却赔上自己的生命, 有什么好处呢? 人还能用什么换回自己的生命呢?

16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to what he has done.
人子要在父的荣耀里和众天使一同降临, 那时他要照各人的行为报应各人.

16:28 Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
我实在告诉你们, 站在这里的, 有人在没有尝过死味以前, 必要看见人子带着他的国降临. ”

Matthew - Chapter 17

17:1 And after six days Jesus took along Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
过了六天, 耶稣带着彼得,雅各和雅各的弟弟约翰, 领他们悄悄地上了高山.

17:2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothing became bright as the light.
耶稣在他们面前改变了形象, 脸好像太阳一样照耀, 衣服洁白像光.

17:3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him.
忽然, 摩西和以利亚向他们显现, 跟耶稣谈话.

17:4 So Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
彼得对耶稣说: “主啊, 我们在这里真好. 如果你愿意, 我就在这里搭三个帐棚, 一个为你, 一个为摩西, 一个为以利亚. ”

17:5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
彼得还说话的时候, 有一朵明亮的云彩笼罩他们, 云中有声音说: “这是我的爱子, 我所喜悦的, 你们要听他. ”

17:6 And when the disciples heard this, they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.
门徒听见了, 就俯伏在地上, 非常害怕.

17:7 And Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up and do not be afraid.”
耶稣前来, 摸着他们说: “起来, 不用怕. ”

17:8 And when they lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him—Jesus alone.
他们抬起头来, 看见只有耶稣自己, 没有别的人.

17:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
他们下山的时候, 耶稣吩咐他们: “人子从死人中复活以前, 你们不要把所看见的异象告诉人. ”

17:10 And the disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
门徒就问他: “那么经学家为什么说, 以利亚必须先来呢? ”

17:11 And he answered and said, “Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all things.
他回答: “以利亚当然要来, 并且复兴一切.

17:12 But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the same way also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
但我告诉你们, 以利亚已经来了, 可是人们却不认识他, 反而任意待他. 照样, 人子也要这样被他们苦待. ”

17:13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
这时门徒才领悟, 耶稣是指着施洗的约翰说的.

17:14 And when they came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him
耶稣和门徒来到群众那里, 有一个人前来, 跪下对耶稣说:

17:15 and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
“主啊, 可怜我的儿子吧, 他患了癫痫病, 非常痛苦, 好几次掉进火里和水中.

17:16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
我带他去见你的门徒, 他们却不能医好他. ”

17:17 And Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!”
耶稣说: “唉! 这又不信又乖谬的世代啊! 我要跟你们在一起到几时呢? 我要忍受你们到几时呢? 把孩子带到我这里来吧. ”

17:18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him and the boy was healed from that hour.
耶稣斥责那鬼, 鬼就从孩子身上出来; 从那时起, 孩子就好了.

17:19 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, Why were we not able to expel it?”
门徒悄悄地前来问耶稣: “为什么我们不能把鬼赶出去呢? ”

17:20 And he said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
他说: “因为你们的信心太小了. 我实在告诉你们, 只要你们的信心像一粒芥菜种, 就是对这山说: ‘从这里移到那里’, 它也必移开. 没有什么是你们不能作的. ”

17:21
(有些抄本有第21节: “这一类的鬼, 如果不靠祷告和禁食, 是赶不出来的. ”)

17:22 Now as they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,
他们聚集在加利利的时候, 耶稣对门徒说: “人子将要被交在人的手里,

17:23 and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised.” And they were extremely distressed.
他们要杀害他, 第三天他要复活. ”他们就很忧愁.

17:24 Now when they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma tax came up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the double drachma tax?”
他们来到迦百农, 收殿税的人前来对彼得说: “你们的老师不纳税吗? ”

17:25 He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes—from their own sons, or from foreigners?”
他说: “纳. ”他进到屋子里, 耶稣先问他: “西门, 你认为怎样? 地上的君王向谁征收关税和丁税? 向自己的儿子还是外人呢? ”

17:26 And when he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free.
他回答: “外人. ”耶稣对他说: “这样, 儿子就可以免税了.

17:27 But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast a line with a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And when you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that and give it to them for me and you.”
但为了避免触犯他们, 你要到海边去钓鱼; 把第一条钓上来的鱼拿起来, 打开鱼的嘴, 你就会找到一个大银币. 你可以拿去交给他们作你我的殿税. ”

Matthew - Chapter 18

18:1 At that time the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
那时, 门徒前来问耶稣: “天国里谁是最大的呢? ”

18:2 And calling a child to himself, he had him stand in their midst
耶稣叫了一个小孩子站在他们当中, 说:

18:3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become like young children, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven!
“我实在告诉你们, 如果你们不回转, 变成像小孩子一样, 一定不能进天国.

18:4 Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child, this person is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven,
所以, 凡谦卑像这小孩子的, 他在天国里是最大的.

18:5 and whoever welcomes one child such as this in my name welcomes me.
凡因我的名接待一个这样的小孩子的, 就是接待我;

18:6 But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him that a large millstone be hung on his neck and he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
但无论谁使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪, 倒不如拿一块大磨石拴在他的颈项上, 把他沉在深海里.

18:7 Woe to the world because of causes for stumbling, for it is a necessity that causes for stumbling come; nevertheless, woe to the person through whom the cause for stumbling comes.
“这世界有祸了, 因为充满使人犯罪的事. 这些事是免不了的, 但那使人犯罪的有祸了!

18:8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it from you! It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire!
如果你的一只手或一只脚使你犯罪, 就把它砍下来丢掉; 你一只手或一只脚进永生, 总比有两只手或两只脚被投进永火里好.

18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it from you! It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than, having two eyes, to be thrown into fiery hell!
如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪, 就把它挖出来丢掉; 你一只眼睛进永生, 总比有两只眼睛被投进地狱的火里好.

18:10 “See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven constantly see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
“你们要小心, 不要轻视这些小弟兄中的一个. 我告诉你们, 他们的使者在天上, 常常见到我天父的面.

18:11
(有些抄本有第11节: “人子来, 是要拯救失丧的人. ”)

18:12 What do you think? If a certain man has a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go and look for the one that wandered away?
你们认为怎样? 有一个人, 他有一百只羊, 如果失了一只, 他会不把九十九只留在山上, 去寻找那迷失的吗?

18:13 And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not wander away.
我实在告诉你们, 他若找到了, 就为这一只羊欢喜, 胜过为那九十九只没有迷失的.

18:14 In the same way it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
照样, 你们在天上的父是不愿意这些小弟兄中有一个失丧的.

18:15 “Now if your brother sins against you, go correct him between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
“如果你的弟兄犯了罪(“犯了罪”有些抄本作“得罪你”), 你趁着和他单独在一起的时候, 要去指出他的过失来. 如果他肯听, 你就得着你的弟兄.

18:16 But if he does not listen, take with you in addition one or two others, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.
如果他不肯听, 就另外带一两个人同去, 好使一切话, 凭两三个证人的口, 可以确定.

18:17 And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses to listen to the church also, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
如果他再不听, 就告诉教会; 如果连教会他也不听, 就把他看作教外人和税吏吧.

18:18 “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.
“我实在告诉你们, 你们在地上捆绑的, 在天上也被捆绑; 你们在地上释放的, 在天上也被释放.

18:19 Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father who is in heaven.
我又告诉你们, 你们当中若有两个人, 在地上同心为什么事祈求, 我在天上的父必为他们成全.

18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them.”
因为无论在哪里, 有两三个人奉我的名聚会, 我就在他们中间. ”

18:21 Then Peter came up to him and said, “Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?”
那时, 彼得前来问耶稣: “主啊, 如果我的弟兄得罪我, 我要饶恕他多少次? 七次吗? ”

18:22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven!
耶稣对他说: “我告诉你, 不是七次, 而是七十个七次.

18:23 “For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.
因此, 天国好像一个王, 要和他的仆人算帐,

18:24 And when he began to settle them, someone was brought to him who owed ten thousand talents.
刚算的时候, 有人带了一个欠下六千万银币的人来.

18:25 And because he did not have enough to repay it, the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.
他没有钱偿还, 主人就下令叫人把他和他的妻子儿女, 以及一切所有的都卖掉, 用来偿还.

18:26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground and began to do obeisance to him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!’
那仆人就跪下拜他, 说: ‘请宽容我, 我会把一切还给你的. ’

18:27 So the master of that slave, because he had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.
主人动了慈心, 把那仆人放了, 并且免了他的债.

18:28 But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back everything that you owe!’
那仆人出来, 遇见一个欠了他一百个银币的仆人, 就抓住他, 扼着他的喉咙, 说: ‘把你欠我的钱还给我. ’

18:29 Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground and began to implore him, saying, ‘Be patient with me and I will repay you!’
那和他一同作仆人的就跪下求他, 说: ‘请宽容我, 我会还给你的. ’

18:30 But he did not want to, but rather he went and threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed.
他却不肯, 反而把他带走, 关在监里, 等他把所欠的还清.

18:31 So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.
其他的仆人看见这事, 非常难过, 就去向主人报告这一切事情.

18:32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!
于是主人叫他来, 对他说: ‘你这个恶仆, 你求我, 我就免了你欠我的一切.

18:33 Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I also showed mercy to you?’
难道你不应该怜悯你的同伴, 好像我怜悯你一样吗? ’

18:34 And because he was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers until he would repay everything that was owed.
于是主人大怒, 把他送去服刑, 等他把所欠的一切还清.

18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your hearts!”
如果你们各人不从心里饶恕你的弟兄, 我的天父也必这样待你们. ”

Matthew - Chapter 19

19:1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these statements, he went away from Galilee and came into the region of Judea on the other side of the Jordan.
耶稣讲完了这些话, 就离开加利利, 来到约旦河东的犹太境内.

19:2 And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
有许多人跟着他; 他在那里医好了他们.

19:3 And Pharisees came up to him in order to test him, and asked if it was permitted for a man to divorce his wife for any cause.
法利赛人前来试探耶稣, 说: “人根据某些理由休妻, 可以吗? ”

19:4 And he answered and said, “Have you not read that the one who created them from the beginning made them male and female
他回答: “造物者从起初‘造人的时候, 就造男造女’. ’因此人要离开父母, 与妻子连合, 二人成为一体. ’这些话你们没有念过吗?

19:5 and said, ‘On account of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
他回答: “造物者从起初‘造人的时候, 就造男造女’. ’因此人要离开父母, 与妻子连合, 二人成为一体. ’这些话你们没有念过吗?

19:6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
这样, 他们不再是两个人, 而是一体的了. 所以神所配合的, 人不可分开. ”

19:7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a document—a certificate of divorce—and to divorce her?”
他们就问: “为什么摩西却吩咐‘人若给了休书, 就可以休妻’呢? ”

19:8 He said to them, “Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not like this.
他说: “摩西因为你们的心硬, 才准许你们休妻, 但起初并不是这样.

19:9 Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the basis of sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
我告诉你们, 凡休妻另娶的, 如果不是因为妻子不贞, 就是犯奸淫了. ”

19:10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the case of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!”
门徒对他说: “夫妻的关系既然是这样, 倒不如不结婚了. ”

19:11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can accept this saying but those to whom it has been given.
耶稣对他们说: “这话不是每个人都能领受的, 只有赐给谁, 谁才能领受.

19:12 For there are eunuchs who were born as such from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”
有些人是生来就不能结婚的, 有些人不能结婚是因为人使他们这样, 也有些人是为了天国的缘故自愿这样的. 谁能领受就领受吧! ”

19:13 Then children were brought to him so that he could lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
那时, 有人带了小孩子到耶稣面前, 求他给他们按手祈祷, 门徒就责备那些人.

19:14 But Jesus said, “Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
但耶稣说: “让小孩子到我这里来, 不要禁止他们, 因为天国是属于这样的人的. ”

19:15 And he laid his hands on them and traveled on from there.
于是他给他们按手, 然后离开那里.

19:16 And behold, someone came up to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I will have eternal life?”
有一个人前来见耶稣, 说: “老师, 我要作什么善事, 才可以得着永生? ”

19:17 And he said to him, “Why are you asking me about what is good? There is one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!”
耶稣说: “为什么问我关于善的事呢? 只有一位是善的. 如果你想进入永生, 就应当遵守诫命. ”

19:18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,
他问: “什么诫命? ”耶稣回答: “就是‘不可杀人, 不可奸淫, 不可偷盗, 不可作假证供;

19:19 honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
当孝敬父母, 当爱人如己’. ”

19:20 The young man said to him, “All these I have observed. What do I still lack?”
那青年对他说: “这一切我都遵守了, 还缺少什么呢? ”

19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
耶稣对他说: “如果你想要完全, 就去变卖你所有的, 分给穷人, 你就必定有财宝在天上, 而且你要来跟从我. ”

19:22 But when the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful, because he was one who had many possessions.
那青年听见这话, 就忧忧愁愁地走了, 原来他的财产很多.

19:23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!
耶稣对门徒说: “我实在告诉你们, 有钱的人是很难进天国的.

19:24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person into the kingdom of God.”
我又告诉你们, 骆驼穿过针眼, 比有钱的人进神的国还容易呢! ”

19:25 So when the disciples heard this, they were extremely amazed, saying, “Then who can be saved?”
门徒听见了, 十分惊奇, 就问他: “这样, 谁可以得救呢? ”

19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With human beings this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
耶稣看着他们说: “在人这是不能的, 在神却凡事都能. ”

19:27 Then Peter answered and said to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?”
那时彼得对他说: “你看, 我们已经舍弃一切跟从了你, 我们会得到什么呢? ”

19:28 And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that in the renewal of the world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me—you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
耶稣对他们说: “我实在告诉你们, 到了万物更新, 人子坐在他荣耀的宝座上的时候, 你们这些跟从我的人, 也会坐在十二个宝座上, 审判以色列的十二个支派.

19:29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.
凡为我的名撇下房屋,兄弟,姊妹,父母,儿女或田地的, 他必得着百倍, 并且承受永生.

19:30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
然而许多在前的将要在后, 在后的将要在前. ”

Matthew - Chapter 20

20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man—the master of the house—who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
“天国好像一个家主, 清早出去雇请工人到他的葡萄园工作.

20:2 And after coming to an agreement with the workers for a denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard.
他和工人讲定了一天的工钱是一个银币, 然后派他们到葡萄园去.

20:3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
大约九点钟, 他又出去, 看见还有人闲站在街市上,

20:4 And to those people he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.’
就对他们说: ‘你们也到葡萄园来吧, 我会给你们合理的工钱. ’

20:5 So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same thing.
他们就去了. 约在正午和下午三点钟, 他又出去, 也是这样作.

20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing there and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?’
下午五点钟左右, 他再出去, 看见还有人站着, 就问他们: ‘你们为什么整天站在这里不去作工? ’

20:7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go also into the vineyard.’
他们回答: ‘没有人用我们. ’他说: ‘你们也到葡萄园来吧. ’

20:8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last up to the first.’
到了黄昏, 园主对管工说: ‘把工人叫来, 给他们工钱, 从最后的开始, 到最先来的. ’

20:9 And when the ones hired about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.
那些下午五点钟才开始作工的人来了, 每个人都领到一个银币.

20:10 And when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, and they also received a denarius apiece.
最先作工的人也来了, 以为会多得一点, 但每个人也是领到一个银币.

20:11 And when they received it, they began to complain against the master of the house,
他们领到之后, 就埋怨家主, 说:

20:12 saying, ‘These last people worked one hour and you made them equal to us who have endured the burden of the day and the burning heat!’
‘我们整天在烈日之下劳苦, 这些后来的人只工作了一个小时, 你却给他们跟我们一样的工钱. ’

20:13 But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am not doing you wrong. Did you not come to an agreement with me for a denarius?
家主回答他们当中的一个, 说: ‘朋友, 我并没有亏待你. 你我不是讲定了一个银币吗?

20:14 Take what is yours and go! But I want to give to this last person the same as I gave to you also.
拿你的工钱走吧! 我给那后来的和给你的一样, 是我的主意.

20:15 Is it not permitted for me to do whatever I want with what is mine? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?’
难道我不可以照自己的主意用我的财物吗? 还是因为我仁慈你就嫉妒呢? ’

20:16 Thus the last will be first and the first last.”
因此, 在后的将要在前, 在前的将要在后. ”

20:17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples by themselves and said to them on the way,
耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候, 把十二门徒带到一边, 对他们说:

20:18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
“我们现在上耶路撒冷去, 人子要被交给祭司长和经学家, 他们要定他死罪,

20:19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock him and flog him and crucify him, and on the third day he will be raised.”
把他交给外族人凌辱,鞭打, 并且钉在十字架上. 然而第三天他要复活. ”

20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked something from him.
那时, 西庇太的儿子的母亲, 带着她的两个儿子前来见耶稣. 她跪在耶稣面前求他.

20:21 And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom.”
耶稣问她: “你想要什么? ”她说: “求你下令, 使我这两个儿子在你的国里, 一个坐在你的右边, 一个坐在你的左边. ”

20:22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”
耶稣回答: “你们不知道你们求的是什么. 我将要喝的杯, 你们能喝吗? ”他们说: “能. ”

20:23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
他对他们说: “我的杯你们固然要喝, 只是坐在我的左右, 不是我可以赐的; 我父预备赐给谁, 就赐给谁. ”

20:24 And when the ten heard this, they were indignant concerning the two brothers.
其他十个门徒听见了, 就向他们兄弟二人生气.

20:25 But Jesus called them to himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions exercise authority over them.
耶稣把他们叫过来, 说: “你们知道各国都有元首统治他们, 也有官长管辖他们.

20:26 It will not be like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
但你们中间却不要这样; 谁想在你们中间成为大的, 就要作你们的仆役;

20:27 and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be your slave—
谁想在你们中间为首的, 就要作你们的奴仆.

20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
正如人子来, 不是要受人的服事, 而是要服事人, 并且要舍命, 作许多人的赎价. ”

20:29 And as they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
他们从耶利哥出来的时候, 有许多人跟着耶稣.

20:30 And behold, there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
有两个瞎眼的人坐在路旁, 听说耶稣经过, 就喊叫: “主啊, 大卫的子孙, 可怜我们吧! ”

20:31 And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
群众责备他们, 叫他们不要出声, 他们却更加放声喊叫: “主啊, 大卫的子孙, 可怜我们吧! ”

20:32 And Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”
耶稣就站住, 叫他们过来, 说: “要我为你们作什么呢? ”

20:33 They said to him, “Lord, that our eyes be opened!”
他们说: “主啊, 求你开我们的眼睛. ”

20:34 And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received their sight and followed him.
耶稣就怜悯他们, 摸他们的眼睛. 他们立刻能看见, 就跟从了耶稣.

Matthew - Chapter 21

21:1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
耶稣和门徒走近耶路撒冷, 来到橄榄山的伯法其那里. 耶稣派了两个门徒,

21:2 saying to them, “Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
对他们说: “你们往对面的村子里去, 立刻就会看见一头驴拴在那里, 还有小驴跟它在一起. 把它们解开, 牵来给我.

21:3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.”
如果有人问你们, 就要说: ‘主需要它们. ’他会立刻让你们牵走. ”

21:4 Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
这件事应验了先知所说的:

21:5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a pack animal.’ ”
“要对锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)说: ‘看哪, 你的王来到你这里了; 他是温柔的, 他骑着驴, 骑的是小驴. ’”

21:6 So the disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them,
门徒照着耶稣的吩咐去作.

21:7 and brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
牵了驴和小驴来, 把衣服搭在它们上面, 耶稣就骑上.

21:8 And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
有一大群人把自己的衣服铺在路上, 也有人从树上把树枝砍下来, 铺在路上.

21:9 And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
前呼后拥的群众喊叫着: “‘和散那’归于大卫的子孙, 奉主名来的是应当称颂的, 高天之上当唱‘和散那’. ”

21:10 And when he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
耶稣进了耶路撒冷, 全城都震动起来, 他们问: “这人是谁? ”

21:11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!”
大家都说: “这就是那先知耶稣, 是从加利利的拿撒勒来的. ”

21:12 And Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.
耶稣进了圣殿, 把殿里所有作买卖的人赶走, 并推倒找换银钱的人的桌子, 和卖鸽子的人的凳子;

21:13 And he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
又对他们说: “经上记着: ‘我的殿要称为祷告的殿. ’你们竟把它弄成贼窝了. ”

21:14 And the blind and the lame came up to him in the temple courts and he healed them.
殿里的瞎子和瘸腿的都走过来, 耶稣就医好他们.

21:15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children shouting in the temple courts and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant.
祭司长和经学家看见耶稣所行的奇事, 又看见小孩子在殿中喊叫“‘和散那’归于大卫的子孙”, 就很忿怒,

21:16 And they said to him, “Do you hear what these children are saying?” So Jesus said to them, “Yes, have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise’?”
对耶稣说: “你听见他们说什么吗? ”耶稣说: “我听见了. ’你从小孩和婴儿的口中, 得着了赞美. ’这话你们没有念过吗? ”

21:17 And leaving them, he went outside of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
于是离开他们, 出了城, 来到伯大尼, 在那里过了一夜.

21:18 Now early in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.
耶稣清早回城的时候, 觉得饿了.

21:19 And seeing a single fig tree by the road, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And he said to it, “May there be no more fruit from you forever, and the fig tree withered at once.
他看见路旁有一棵无花果树, 就走过去; 但他在树上什么也找不到, 只有叶子, 就对树说: “你永远不再结果子了. ”那棵树就立刻枯萎.

21:20 And when they saw it, the disciples were astonished, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?”
门徒看见了, 十分惊奇, 说: “这棵无花果树是怎样立刻枯萎的呢? ”

21:21 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,” it will happen!
耶稣回答他们: “我实在告诉你们, 如果你们有信心, 不怀疑, 不但能作我对无花果树所作的, 就是对这座山说‘移开, 投到海里去’, 也必成就.

21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, if you believe, you will receive.”
你们祷告, 无论求什么, 只要相信, 都必得着. ”

21:23 And after he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him while he was teaching, saying, “By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?”
耶稣进了圣殿, 正在教导人的时候, 祭司长和民间的长老前来问他: “你凭什么权柄作这些事? 谁给你这权柄? ”

21:24 And Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell the answer to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
耶稣回答他们: “我也要问你们一句话, 如果你们告诉我, 我就告诉你们我凭什么权柄作这些事.

21:25 From where was the baptism of John—from heaven or from men?” And they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
约翰的洗礼是从哪里来的呢? 是从天上来的, 还是从人来的呢? ”他们就彼此议论: “如果我们说‘是从天上来的’, 他会问我们’那你们为什么不信他呢? ’

21:26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet.”
如果我们说‘是从人来的’, 我们又怕群众, 因为他们都认为约翰是先知. ”

21:27 And they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
于是回答耶稣: “我们不知道. ”耶稣也对他们说: “我也不告诉你们, 我凭什么权柄作这些事.

21:28 “Now what do you think? A man had two sons. He approached the first and said, ‘Son, go work in the vineyard today.’
“你们认为怎样? 有一个人, 他有两个儿子. 他去对大儿子说: ‘孩子, 你今天到葡萄园去工作吧. ’

21:29 And he answered and said, ‘I do not want to!’ But later he changed his mind and went.
他说: ‘我不想去. ’但后来他改变主意, 就去了.

21:30 And he approached the second and said the same thing. So he answered and said, ‘I will, sir,’ and he did not go.
父亲又照样去吩咐小儿子. 小儿子说: ‘父亲, 我会去的. ’后来却没有去.

21:31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!
这两个儿子, 哪一个听父亲的话呢? ”他们说: “大儿子. ”耶稣对他们说: “我实在告诉你们: 税吏和娼妓比你们先进神的国.

21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him. And when you saw it, you did not even change your minds later so as to believe in him.
约翰来到你们那里, 指示你们行义路(或译: “约翰在义路中, 来到你们这里”), 你们不信他; 税吏和娼妓却信了他. 你们看见了之后, 还是没有改变心意去信他.

21:33 “Listen to another parable: There was a man—a master of a house—who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
“你们再听一个比喻: 有一个家主, 栽种了一个葡萄园, 四面围上篱笆, 在园子里挖了一个压酒池, 盖了一座瞭望台, 然后把园子租给佃户, 就远行去了.

21:34 And when the season of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the tenant farmers to collect his fruit.
到了收成的时候, 园主派了仆人到佃户那里, 收取应该纳给他的果子.

21:35 And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, one of whom they beat, and one of whom they killed, and one of whom they stoned.
佃户却抓住他的仆人, 打伤一个, 杀了一个, 又用石头打死一个.

21:36 Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first ones, and they did the same thing to them.
于是园主再派其他的仆人去, 人数比前一次更多, 但佃户也是同样对付他们.

21:37 So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
最后, 他派了自己的儿子去, 说: ‘他们必尊敬我的儿子. ’

21:38 But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’
佃户看见他的儿子, 就彼此说: ‘这是继承产业的; 来, 我们杀了他, 占有他的产业吧! ’

21:39 And they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
于是他们抓住他, 把他推出葡萄园外杀了.

21:40 Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?”
那么, 葡萄园的主人来到的时候, 会怎样对待那些佃户呢? ”

21:41 They said to him, “He will destroy those evil men completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season.”
他们回答: “他会毫不留情地除掉那些恶人, 把葡萄园租给按时缴纳果子的佃户. ”

21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone. This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
耶稣对他们说: “经上记着: ‘建筑工人所弃的石头, 成了房角的主要石头; 这是主所作的, 在我们眼中看为希奇. ’这话你们没有念过吗?

21:43 For this reason, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people who produce its fruits.
因此我告诉你们, 神的国要从你们那里取去, 赐给那结果子的外族人.

21:44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!”
谁跌在这石头上, 就必摔碎; 这石头掉在谁的身上, 就必把他压得粉碎. ”

21:45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,
祭司长和法利赛人听了耶稣这些比喻, 知道是指着他们说的.

21:46 and although they wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they looked upon him as a prophet.
他们想要逮捕他, 但又怕群众, 因为他们都认为耶稣是先知.

Matthew - Chapter 22

22:1 And continuing, Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,
耶稣又用比喻对他们说:

22:2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who gave a wedding celebration for his son.
“天国好像一个王, 为儿子摆设婚筵.

22:3 And he sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the wedding celebration, and they did not want to come.
他派仆人去叫被邀请的人来参加婚筵. 但他们不肯来.

22:4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding celebration!” ’
他再派另一些仆人去, 说: ‘你们告诉被邀请的人, 我已经预备好了筵席, 公牛和肥畜已经宰了, 一切都预备妥当. 来参加婚筵吧! ’

22:5 But they paid no attention and went away—this one to his own field, that one to his business.
但那些人却不理会就走了; 有的去耕田, 有的去作买卖,

22:6 And the others, seizing his slaves, mistreated them and killed them.
其余的抓住王的仆人, 凌辱他们, 并且把他们杀了.

22:7 And the king was angry and sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
王就发怒, 派兵消灭那些凶手, 焚毁他们的城.

22:8 Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding celebration is ready, but those who had been invited were not worthy.
然后对仆人说: ‘婚筵已经预备好了, 只是被邀请的人不配.

22:9 Therefore, go out to the places where the roads exit the city and invite to the wedding celebration as many people as you find.’
所以你们要到大路口, 凡遇见的, 都请来参加婚筵. ’

22:10 And those slaves went out into the roads and gathered everyone whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding celebration was filled with dinner guests.
“那些仆人就走到街上, 把所有遇见的, 不论好人坏人, 都招聚了来, 婚筵上就坐满了人.

22:11 But when the king came in to see the dinner guests, he saw a man there not dressed in wedding clothes.
王进来与赴筵的人见面, 看见有一个人没有穿着婚筵的礼服,

22:12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes?’ But he could say nothing.
就对他说: ‘朋友, 你没有婚筵的礼服, 怎能进到这里来呢? ’他就无话可说.

22:13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot and throw him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’
于是王对侍从说: ‘把他的手和脚都绑起来, 丢到外面的黑暗里, 在那里必要哀哭切齿. ’

22:14 For many are called but few are chosen.”
因为被召的人多, 选上的人少. ”

22:15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted so that they could entrap him with a statement.
法利赛人就去商量, 怎样找耶稣的话柄来陷害他.

22:16 And they sent their disciples to him with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and you do not care what anyone thinks, because you do not regard the opinion of people.
他们派了自己的门徒和希律党的人一同去问耶稣: “老师, 我们知道你为人诚实, 照着真理把神的道教导人, 不顾忌任何人, 因为你不徇情面.

22:17 Therefore tell us what you think. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
请把你的意见告诉我们, 纳税给凯撒, 可不可以呢? ”

22:18 But because he knew their maliciousness, Jesus said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?
耶稣看出他们的恶意, 就说: “虚伪的人, 为什么试探我呢?

22:19 Show me the coin for the tax!” So they brought him a denarius.
拿纳税的钱币给我看看. ”他们就拿了一个银币给他.

22:20 And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
耶稣问他们: “这是谁的像, 谁的名号? ”

22:21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!”
他们回答: “凯撒的. ”他就对他们说: “凯撒的应当归给凯撒, 神的应当归给神. ”

22:22 And when they heard this, they were astonished, and they left him and went away.
他们听了, 十分惊奇, 就离开他走了.

22:23 On that day Sadducees—who say there is no resurrection—came up to him and asked him,
撒都该人向来认为没有复活的事. 那一天, 他们前来问耶稣:

22:24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said if someone dies without having children, his brother is to marry his wife and father descendants for his brother.
“老师, 摩西说: ‘如果一个人死了, 没有儿女, 他的弟弟应该娶他的妻子, 为哥哥立后. ’

22:25 Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first died after getting married, and because he did not have descendants, he left his wife to his brother.
从前我们这里有兄弟七人, 头一个结了婚, 没有孩子就死了, 留下妻子给他的弟弟.

22:26 So also the second and the third, up to the seventh.
第二个,第三个直到第七个都是这样.

22:27 And last of all the woman died.
最后, 那女人也死了.

22:28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her as wife.”
那么, 复活的时候, 她是这七个人中哪一个的妻子呢? 因为他们都娶过她. ”

22:29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God!
耶稣回答他们: “你们错了, 因为你们不明白圣经, 也不晓得神的能力.

22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
复活的时候, 人们也不娶也不嫁, 而是像天上的使者一样.

22:31 Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said,
关于死人复活的事, 神对你们讲过: ‘我是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神’, 你们没有念过吗? 神不是死人的神, 而是活人的神. ”

22:32 “I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob”? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living!”
关于死人复活的事, 神对你们讲过: ‘我是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神’, 你们没有念过吗? 神不是死人的神, 而是活人的神. ”

22:33 And when the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.
群众听了他的教训, 就十分诧异.

22:34 Now when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same place.
法利赛人听见耶稣使撒都该人无话可说, 就聚集在一起.

22:35 And one of them, a legal expert, put a question to him to test him:
他们中间有一个律法家, 试探耶稣说:

22:36 “Teacher, which commandment is greatest in the law?”
“老师, 律法中哪一条诫命是最重要的呢? ”

22:37 And he said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
他回答: “你要全心,全性,全意爱主你的神.

22:38 This is the greatest and first commandment.
这是最重要的第一条诫命.

22:39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
第二条也和它相似, 就是要爱人如己.

22:40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”
全部律法和先知书, 都以这两条诫命作为根据. ”

22:41 Now while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
法利赛人聚在一起的时候, 耶稣问他们:

22:42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.”
“你们对基督的看法怎样? 他是谁的子孙呢? ”他们回答: “大卫的子孙. ”

22:43 He said to them, “How then does David, by the Spirit, call him ‘Lord,’ saying,
耶稣就说: “那么大卫被圣灵感动, 怎么会称他为主呢? 他说:

22:44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet” ’?
‘主对我的主说: 你坐在我的右边, 等我把你的仇敌放在你的脚下. ’

22:45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how is he his son?”
“大卫既然称他为主, 他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢? ”

22:46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask him any more questions.
没有人能够回答他. 从那天起, 也没有人敢再问他.

Matthew - Chapter 23

23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
那时, 耶稣对群众和他的门徒说:

23:2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses.
“经学家和法利赛人坐在摩西的座位上,

23:3 Therefore do and observe everything that they tell you, but do not do as they do, for they tell others to do something and do not do it themselves.
所以凡他们吩咐你们的, 你们都要遵守, 但不可效法他们的行为, 因为他们只会说而不去作.

23:4 And they tie up heavy burdens and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing with their finger to move them.
他们把重担捆起来, 压在人的肩头上, 但自己连一个指头也不肯动.

23:5 And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries broad and make their tassels long.
他们所作的一切, 都是要作给人看: 他们把经文的匣子做大了, 衣服的繸子做长了;

23:6 And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues
他们喜欢筵席上的首位,会堂里的高位;

23:7 and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.
又喜欢人在市中心向他们问安, 称呼他们‘拉比’.

23:8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ because one is your teacher, and you are all brothers,
然而你们不要被人称为‘拉比’, 因为只有一位是你们的老师, 你们都是弟兄.

23:9 And do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your heavenly Father.
不要称呼地上的人为父, 因为只有一位是你们的父, 就是天父.

23:10 And do not be called teachers, because one is your teacher, the Christ.
你们也不要被人称为师傅, 因为只有一位是你们的师傅, 就是基督.

23:11 And the greatest among you will be your servant.
你们中间最大的, 必作你们的仆人.

23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
凡高抬自己的, 必被降卑; 凡自己谦卑的, 必被升高.

23:13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you shut the kingdom of heaven before people! For you do not enter, nor permit those wanting to go in to enter.
“虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪, 你们有祸了! 你们在人面前关了天国的门, 自己不进去, 连正要进去的人, 你们也不准他们进去.

23:14
(有些抄本有第14节: “虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪, 你们有祸了! 你们吞没了寡妇的房产, 假装作冗长的祷告, 所以你们必受更重的刑罚. ”)

23:15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you travel around the sea and the dry land to make one convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are!
“虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪, 你们有祸了! 你们走遍海洋陆地, 要使一个人入教; 当他入了教, 你们却使他沦为地狱之子, 比你们更甚.

23:16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound by his oath.’
“你们这些瞎眼的向导有祸了! 你们说: ‘凡指着圣所而起的誓, 是没有用的; 但指着圣所的金子而起的誓, 就必须遵守. ’

23:17 Fools and blind people! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?
你们这些瞎眼的愚昧人哪, 到底是金子大, 还是使金子成圣的圣所大呢?

23:18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gift that is on it is bound by his oath.’
你们又说: ‘凡指着祭坛所起的誓, 是没有用的; 但指着坛上的祭物所起的誓, 就必须遵守. ’

23:19 Blind people! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy?
瞎眼的人哪! 到底是祭物大, 还是使祭物成圣的祭坛大呢?

23:20 Therefore the one who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything that is on it.
所以, 凡指着祭坛起誓的, 他就是指着祭坛和坛上的一切起誓;

23:21 And the one who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
指着圣所起誓的, 就是指着圣所和住在那里的神起誓;

23:22 And the one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by the one who sits on it.
指着天起誓的, 就是指着神的宝座和坐在宝座上的起誓.

23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you pay a tenth of mint and dill and cumin, and neglect the more important matters of the law—justice and mercy and faithfulness! It was necessary to do these things while not neglecting those.
“虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪, 你们有祸了! 你们把薄荷,茴香,芹菜, 献上十分之一, 却忽略律法上更重要的, 就如正义,怜悯和信实; 这些更重要的是你们应当作的, 但其他的也不可忽略.

23:24 Blind guides who filter out a gnat and swallow a camel!
你们这些瞎眼的向导啊, 你们把蚊虫滤出来, 却把骆驼吞下去.

23:25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!
“虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪, 你们有祸了! 你们洗净杯盘的外面, 里面却装满了抢夺和放荡.

23:26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
瞎眼的法利赛人哪, 先把杯和盘的里面洗净, 好使外面也可以干净.

23:27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean!
“虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪, 你们有祸了! 你们好像粉饰了的坟墓, 外面好看, 里面却装满了死人的骨头和各样的污秽;

23:28 In the same way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
照样, 你们外面看来像义人, 里面却充塞着虚伪和不法.

23:29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous,
“虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪, 你们有祸了! 你们建造先知的墓, 修饰义人的碑,

23:30 and you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets!’
并且说: ‘我们若活在我们祖先的时代, 决不会与他们一同流先知的血. ’

23:31 Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets!
这样, 你们就指证自己是杀害先知的人的子孙了.

23:32 And you—fill up the measure of your fathers!
那么, 去完成你们祖先的罪孽吧!

23:33 Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How will you escape from the condemnation to hell?
你们这些蛇, 这些毒蛇所生的啊, 你们怎能逃脱地狱的刑罚呢?

23:34 For this reason, behold, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will pursue from town to town,
因此, 我差派先知,智慧人和经学家到你们那里; 有些你们要杀害又钉在十字架上, 有些你们要在会堂里鞭打, 从一个城赶逐到另一个城.

23:35 so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
所以, 从义人亚伯的血起, 到巴拉加的儿子撒迦利亚的血为止, 他就是你们在圣所和祭坛中间所杀的, 所有义人在地上所流的血, 都要归在你们身上.

23:36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation!
我实在告诉你们, 这一切都必临到这个世代.

23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her young together under her wings, and you were not willing!
“耶路撒冷, 耶路撒冷啊, 你杀害先知, 又用石头把奉派到你们那里的人打死. 我多次想招聚你的儿女, 好像母鸡招聚小鸡到翅膀底下, 只是你们不愿意.

23:38 Behold, your house has been left to you desolate!
你看, 你们的家必成为荒场, 留给你们.

23:39 For I tell you, you will never see me from now on until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
我告诉你们, 从今以后, 你们一定见不到我, 直等到你们说: ‘奉主名来的, 是应当称颂的. ’”

Matthew - Chapter 24

24:1 And as Jesus went out of the temple courts he was going along, and his disciples came up to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
耶稣出了圣殿, 往前走的时候, 门徒前来把圣殿的建筑指给他看.

24:2 But he answered and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left here on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
他对门徒说: “你们不是看见了这一切吗? 我实在告诉你们, 将来在这里必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面, 每一块都要拆下来. ”

24:3 And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
耶稣坐在橄榄山上, 门徒暗中前来问他: “请告诉我们, 什么时候会有这些事呢? 你的降临和这世代的终结, 有什么预兆呢? ”

24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you!
耶稣回答他们: “你们要小心, 不要被人迷惑;

24:5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many.
因为许多人要假冒我的名而来, 说: ‘我就是基督’, 并且要迷惑许多的人.

24:6 And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
你们要听见战争, 也听见战争的风声; 你们要小心, 不要惊慌, 因为这是免不了的, 不过结局还没有到.

24:7 For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族, 一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家, 到处都有饥荒和地震,

24:8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
这一切不过是痛苦的开始.

24:9 “Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
那时人要把你们送去受苦, 也要杀害你们, 你们要因我的名被万民恨恶.

24:10 And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another,
那时许多人会失去信仰, 彼此出卖, 互相恨恶;

24:11 and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many,
也有许多假先知出现, 要迷惑许多人.

24:12 and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.
因为不法的事增加, 许多人的爱心就冷淡了.

24:13 But the one who endures to the end—this person will be saved.
唯有坚忍到底的, 必然得救.

24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
这天国的福音要传遍天下, 向万民作见证, 然后结局才来到.

24:15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken about by the prophet Daniel standing in the holy place” (let the one who reads understand),
“当你们看见但以理先知所说的‘那造成荒凉的可憎者’, 站在圣地的时候(读者必须领悟),

24:16 “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!
那时, 住在犹太的应当逃到山上;

24:17 The one who is on his housetop must not come down to take things out of his house,
在房顶的不要下来拿家里的东西;

24:18 and the one who is in the field must not turn back to pick up his cloak.
在田里的也不要回去取衣服.

24:19 And woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days!
当那些日子, 怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了!

24:20 But pray that your flight may not happen in winter or on a Sabbath.
你们应当祈求, 叫你们逃难的时候, 不是在冬天或安息日,

24:21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen.
因为那时必有大灾难, 这是从世界的开始到现在未曾有过的, 以后也必不会再有.

24:22 And unless those days had been shortened, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
如果那些日子不减少, 没有一个人可以存活; 但是为了选民, 那些日子必会减少.

24:23 “At that time if anyone should say to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘Here he is,’ do not believe him!
那时, 如果有人对你们说: ‘看哪, 基督在这里! ’或说: ‘他在那里! ’你们不要信,

24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
因为必有假基督和假先知出现, 显大神迹和奇事; 如果可以的话, 他们连选民也要迷惑.

24:25 Behold, I have told you ahead of time!
你们看! 我已经事先告诉你们了.

24:26 Therefore if they say to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it!
如果他们对你们说: ‘看! 基督在旷野里. ’你们不要出去; 或说: ‘看! 他在房子里. ’也不要相信.

24:27 For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
电光怎样从东方闪出来, 一直照到西方, 人子降临的时候, 也是这样.

24:28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
尸首在哪里, 鹰也必聚在哪里.

24:29 “And immediately after the tribulation of those days, ‘the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.’
“那些日子的灾难刚过去: 太阳就变黑了, 月亮也不发光, 众星从天坠落, 天上的万象震动.

24:30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
“那时, 人子的征兆要显在天上, 地上的万族都要哀号, 并且看见人子带着能力, 满有荣耀, 驾着天上的云降临.

24:31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other end of it.
当号筒发出响声, 他要差派使者, 把他的选民从四方, 从天这边到天那边都招聚来.

24:32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
“你们应该从无花果树学个功课: 树枝长出嫩芽生出叶子的时候, 你们就知道夏天近了;

24:33 So also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the door.
同样, 当你们看见这一切, 就知道人子已经近在门口了.

24:34 Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all these things take place!
我实在告诉你们, 这一切都必要发生, 然后这世代才会过去.

24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
天地都要过去, 但我的话决不会废去.

24:36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows—not even the angels of heaven nor the Son—except the Father alone.
“至于那日子和时间, 没有人知道, 连天上的使者和子也不知道, 只有父知道.

24:37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
挪亚的时代怎样, 人子降临的时候也是这样.

24:38 For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark.
洪水之前的时代, 人们吃喝嫁娶, 直到挪亚进入方舟的那一天;

24:39 And they did not know anything until the deluge came and swept them all away. So also the coming of the Son of Man will be.
等到洪水来到, 把他们冲去, 他们才明白过来; 人子降临的时候也是这样.

24:40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one left.
那时, 两个人在田里工作, 一个被接去, 一个撇下来;

24:41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.
两个女人在磨坊推磨, 一个被接去, 一个撇下来.

24:42 Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know what day your Lord is coming!
因此, 你们要警醒, 因为不知道你们的主什么时候要来.

24:43 But understand this: that if the master of the house had known what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.
你们都知道, 家主若晓得窃贼晚上什么时候会来, 就会提高警觉, 不让他摸进屋里.

24:44 For this reason you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think he will come.
所以, 你们也要准备妥当, 因为在想不到的时候, 人子就来了.

24:45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave whom the master has put in charge of his household slaves to give them their food at the right time?
“谁是忠心和精明的仆人, 被主人指派管理全家, 按时分派粮食的呢?

24:46 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he comes back.
主人来到, 看见他这样作, 那仆人就有福了.

24:47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
我实在告诉你们, 主人要指派他管理自己的一切财产.

24:48 But if that evil slave should say to himself, ‘My master is staying away for a long time,’
如果他是个坏的仆人, 心里说‘我的主人不会那么快回来’,

24:49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with drunkards,
就动手打其他的仆人, 又和醉酒的人吃喝.

24:50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know,
在他想不到的日子, 不知道的时间, 那仆人的主人要来,

24:51 and will cut him in two and assign his place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
严厉地处罚他, 使他和虚伪的人同在一起; 在那里必要哀哭切齿. ”

Matthew - Chapter 25

25:1 “Then the kingdom of heaven may be compared to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
“那时, 天国好像十个童女, 拿着她们的灯出去迎接新郎.

25:2 Now five of them were foolish and five were wise.
她们中间有五个是愚蠢的, 五个是聪明的.

25:3 For when the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take olive oil with them.
那些愚蠢的拿着灯, 却没有带油;

25:4 But the wise ones took olive oil in flasks with their lamps.
但那些聪明的拿着灯, 也把油装在瓶里带来.

25:5 And when the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
新郎很晚还没有到, 她们都打瞌睡, 而且睡着了.

25:6 But in the middle of the night there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
半夜, 有人喊叫: ‘新郎来了, 快出来迎接他. ’

25:7 Then all those virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
那些童女都醒过来, 整理她们的灯.

25:8 And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your olive oil, because our lamps are going out!’
愚蠢的对聪明的说: ‘请把你们的油分一点给我们, 我们的灯快要灭了. ’

25:9 But the wise ones answered saying, “Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell olive oil and buy some for yourselves.’
聪明的回答: ‘这些恐怕不够我们大家用, 不如你们自己到卖油的地方去买吧! ’

25:10 But while they had gone away to buy it the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, and the door was shut.
她们去买油的时候, 新郎来了; 准备好了的童女就和他一同进去参加婚筵, 门就关上了.

25:11 And later the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
后来, 其余的童女也来到, 说: ‘主啊, 主啊, 给我们开门吧! ’

25:12 But he answered and said, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you!’
新郎却回答: ‘我实在告诉你们, 我不认识你们. ’

25:13 Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know the day or the hour!
所以你们要警醒, 因为不知道那日子和那时间.

25:14 For it is like a man going on a journey. He summoned his own slaves and handed over his property to them.
“天国又像一个人要出外远行, 就叫自己的仆人来, 把产业交给他们.

25:15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each one according to his own ability, and he went on a journey immediately.
他按照各人的才干, 一个给三万个银币, 一个给一万二千个银币, 一个给六千个银币(原文作“五个, 二个, 一个他连得”; 一个他连得等于六千个银币), 然后就远行去了.

25:16 The one who had received the five talents went out and traded with them and gained five more.
那领了三万的马上去做生意, 另外赚了三万.

25:17 In the same way the one who had the two gained two more.
那领了一万二千的也是这样, 另赚了一万二千.

25:18 But the one who had received the one went away and dug up the ground and hid his master’s money.
但那领了六千的, 却去把地挖开, 把主人的钱藏起来.

25:19 Now after a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
过了很久, 那些仆人的主人回来了, 要和他们算帐.

25:20 And the one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents. See, I have gained five more talents!’
那领了三万个银币的, 带着另外的三万前来, 说: ‘主啊, 你交了三万给我, 你看, 我又赚了三万. ’

25:21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
主人对他说: ‘又良善又忠心的仆人哪, 你作得好! 你既然在不多的事上忠心, 我要派你管理许多的事. 进来, 享受你主人的快乐吧! ’

25:22 And the one who had the two talents also came up and said, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents. See, I have gained two talents more!’
那领了一万二千的也前来, 说: ‘主啊, 你交了一万二千给我, 你看, 我又赚了一万二千. ’

25:23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
主人对他说: ‘又良善又忠心的仆人哪, 你作得好! 你既然在不多的事上忠心, 我要派你管理许多的事. 进来, 享受你主人的快乐吧! ’

25:24 And the one who had received the one talent came up also and said, ‘Master, because I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter seed.
那领了六千的也前来, 说: ‘主啊, 我知道你是个严厉的人, 没有撒种的地方, 你要收割; 没有散播的地方, 你要收聚.

25:25 And because I was afraid, I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours!’
所以, 我就害怕起来, 去把你的钱藏在地里. 你看, 你的钱还在这里. ’

25:26 But his master answered and said to him, ‘Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter seed.
可是主人对他说: ‘你这个又可恶又懒惰的仆人, 你既然知道我要在没有撒种的地方收割, 在没有散播的地方收聚,

25:27 Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and when I returned I would have gotten back what was mine with interest!
那你就应该把我的钱存入银行, 到我回来的时候, 可以连本带利收回.

25:28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.
你们把他的六千银币拿去, 交给那个有六万的.

25:29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
因为凡是有的, 还要给他, 他就充足有余; 凡是没有的, 就算他有什么也要拿去.

25:30 And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness—in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’
把这没有用的仆人丢在外面的黑暗里, 在那里必要哀哭切齿. ’

25:31 Now when the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
“当人子在他的荣耀里, 带着所有的使者降临的时候, 他要坐在荣耀的宝座上.

25:32 And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
万族要聚集在他面前, 他要把他们彼此分开, 好像牧羊人把绵羊和山羊分开一样:

25:33 And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left.
把绵羊放在右边, 山羊放在左边.

25:34 Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!
那时, 王要对右边的说: ‘蒙我父赐福的, 来承受创世以来为你们预备好的国吧.

25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me as a guest,
因为我饿了, 你们给我吃; 我渴了, 你们给我喝; 我作旅客, 你们接待我;

25:36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you cared for me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
我赤身露体, 你们给我衣服穿; 我病了, 你们看顾我; 我在监里, 你们来看我. ’

25:37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
义人就回答: ‘主啊, 我们什么时候见你饿了就给你吃, 渴了就给你喝呢?

25:38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you as a guest, or naked and clothe you?
又什么时候见你作旅客就接待你, 赤身露体就给你衣服穿呢?

25:39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
或者什么时候见你病了, 或在监里就来看你呢? ’

25:40 And the king will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.’
王要回答他们: ‘我实在告诉你们, 你们所作的, 只要是作在我一个最小的弟兄身上, 就是作在我的身上了. ’

25:41 Then he will also say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!
“王也要对左边的说: ‘你们这被咒诅的, 离开我, 到为魔鬼和他的使者所预备的永火里去吧!

25:42 For I was hungry and you did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty and you did not give me anything to drink,
因为我饿了, 你们没有给我吃; 我渴了, 你们没有给我喝;

25:43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me as a guest, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not care for me.’
我作旅客, 你们没有接待我; 我赤身露体, 你们没有给我衣服穿; 我病了, 我在监里, 你们没有看顾我. ’

25:44 Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not serve you?’
他们就回答: ‘主啊, 我们什么时候见你饿了,渴了,作旅客,赤身露体,病了, 或在监里, 却没有服事你呢? ’

25:45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’
王要回答他们: ‘我实在告诉你们, 这些事你们既然没有作在一个最小的身上, 就是没有作在我的身上了. ’

25:46 And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
他们要进入永远的刑罚, 义人却要进入永生. ”

Matthew - Chapter 26

26:1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
耶稣说完了这一切话, 就对门徒说:

26:2 “You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over in order to be crucified.”
“你们知道两天之后就是逾越节, 人子将要被交给人, 钉在十字架上. ”

26:3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,
那时, 祭司长和民间的长老聚集在大祭司该亚法的官邸,

26:4 and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
商议怎样用诡计逮捕耶稣, 把他杀害.

26:5 But they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people.”
不过他们说: “不可在节期下手, 免得引起民众暴动. ”

26:6 Now while Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
耶稣在伯大尼, 在患痲风的西门家里的时候,

26:7 a woman came up to him holding an alabaster flask of very expensive perfumed oil, and poured it out on his head while he was reclining at table.
有一个女人拿着一瓶珍贵的香膏, 前来把它浇在耶稣的头上.

26:8 And when the disciples saw it they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
门徒看见了, 就很生气, 说: “为什么这样浪费呢?

26:9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor!”
这香膏可以卖很多钱, 赒济穷人. ”

26:10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them, “Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.
耶稣知道了, 就说: “为什么难为这个女人呢? 她为我作了一件美事.

26:11 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.
你们常常有穷人跟你们在一起, 然而却不常有我.

26:12 For when this woman poured this ointment on my body, she did it in order to prepare me for burial.
她把这香膏浇在我身上, 是为了安葬我而作的.

26:13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
我实在告诉你们, 这福音无论传到世界上什么地方, 这女人所作的都要传讲, 来记念她. ”

26:14 Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
那时, 十二门徒中的一个, 就是加略人犹大, 去见祭司长, 说:

26:15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I in turn deliver him to you?” So they set out for him thirty silver coins.
“如果我把他交给你们, 你们愿意给我什么呢? ”他们就给了他三十块银子.

26:16 And from that time on, he began seeking a favorable opportunity in order that he could betray him.
从那时起, 他就找机会把耶稣交给他们.

26:17 Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
除酵节的第一天, 门徒前来问耶稣: “你要我们在哪里为你预备逾越节的晚餐呢? ”

26:18 And he said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am celebrating the Passover with you with my disciples.” ’
他说: “你们到城里去见某人, 对他说, 老师说: ‘我的时候快到了; 我要到你那里和我的门徒守逾越节. ’”

26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
门徒照耶稣的指示去作, 预备好了逾越节的晚餐.

26:20 And when it was evening, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.
到了晚上, 耶稣和十二门徒一同吃晚餐.

26:21 And while they were eating he said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.”
他们吃的时候, 耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 你们中间有一个人要出卖我. ”

26:22 And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I, Lord?”
他们就很忧愁, 一个一个地问他: “主啊, 是我吗? ”

26:23 And he answered and said, “The one who dips his hand in the bowl with me—this one will betray me.
他回答: “那和我一同把手蘸在盘子里的人, 他要出卖我.

26:24 The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.”
正如经上指着人子所说的, 他固然要离世, 但出卖人子的那人有祸了! 他没有生下来倒好. ”

26:25 And Judas, the one who was betraying him, answered and said, “Surely I am not he, am I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
那出卖耶稣的犹大说: “拉比, 是我吗? ”他说: “这是你说的. ”

26:26 Now while they were eating Jesus took bread and, after giving thanks, he broke it, and giving it to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.”
他们吃的时候, 耶稣拿起饼来, 祝谢了就擘开, 递给门徒, 说: “你们拿去吃吧, 这是我的身体. ”

26:27 And after taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you,
耶稣又拿起杯来, 祝谢了就递给他们, 说: “你们都喝吧,

26:28 for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
这是我的血, 是为立约的, 为许多人流出来, 使罪得赦.

26:29 But I tell you, from now on I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
我告诉你们, 从今以后我必不再喝这葡萄酒, 直到我和你们在我父的国里喝新酒的那一天. ”

26:30 And after they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
他们唱完了诗, 就出来往橄榄山去.

26:31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
那时, 耶稣对他们说: “今天晚上, 你们因我的缘故都要后退, 因为经上记着: ‘我要击打牧人, 羊群就分散了. ’

26:32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
我复活以后, 要比你们先到加利利去. ”

26:33 But Peter answered and said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!”
彼得对他说: “就算所有的人都因你的缘故后退, 我却永不后退. ”

26:34 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!”
耶稣对他说: “我实在告诉你, 今天晚上鸡叫以前, 你会三次不认我. ”

26:35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the disciples said the same thing.
彼得对他说: “就算必须与你一同死, 我也决不会不认你. ”门徒也都这样说.

26:36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
耶稣和门徒来到一个地方, 名叫客西马尼, 就对门徒说: “你们坐在这里, 我要到那边去祷告. ”

26:37 And taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be distressed and troubled.
他带了彼得和西庇太的两个儿子一起去, 心里忧愁难过,

26:38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”
对他们说: “我的心灵痛苦得快要死了; 你们留在这里, 与我一同警醒吧. ”

26:39 And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
他稍往前走, 把脸俯伏在地上, 祷告说: “我的父啊! 可能的话, 求你使这杯离开我; 但不要照我的意思, 只要照你的旨意. ”

26:40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “So, were you not able to stay awake with me one hour?
耶稣回到门徒那里, 看见他们都睡着了, 就对彼得说: “你们连一个小时也不能同我警醒吗?

26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!”
应当警醒,祷告, 免得陷入试探; 你们心灵虽然愿意, 肉体却是软弱的. ”

26:42 Again for the second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done.”
他又再次走开, 祷告说: “我的父啊! 如果这杯不能离开我, 一定要我喝, 就愿你的旨意成全. ”

26:43 And he came again and found them sleeping, for they could not keep their eyes open.
他再回来的时候, 看见门徒睡着了, 因为他们十分疲倦.

26:44 And leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing again.
他又离开他们, 第三次去祷告, 说的也是同样的话.

26:45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
然后, 他回到门徒那里, 对他们说: “你们还在睡觉休息吗? 看哪, 时候到了, 人子要被交在罪人的手里了.

26:46 Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”
起来, 我们走吧! 出卖我的人来了. ”

26:47 And while he was still speaking, behold, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
耶稣还在说话的时候, 十二门徒中的犹大, 带着一大群拿着刀棒的人来到, 他们是祭司长和民间的长老派来的.

26:48 Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one. Arrest him!”
出卖耶稣的人给他们一个暗号, 说: “我跟谁亲嘴, 谁就是他; 你们可以抓住他. ”

26:49 And he came up to Jesus immediately and said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him.
他立刻前来对耶稣说: “拉比, 你好. ”跟着就与他亲嘴.

26:50 And Jesus said to him, “Friend, do that for which you have come.” Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.
耶稣对他说: “朋友, 你来要作的事, 快作吧! ”于是那些人上前来, 动手拿住耶稣, 逮捕了他.

26:51 And behold, one of those with Jesus extended his hand and drew his sword, and striking the slave of the high priest, cut off his ear.
有一个与耶稣在一起的人, 伸手拔出刀来, 砍了大祭司的仆人一刀, 削掉他的一只耳朵.

26:52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place! For all who take up the sword will die by the sword.
耶稣对他说: “把你的刀收回原处! 凡动刀的必死在刀下.

26:53 Or do you think that I cannot call upon my Father, and he would put at my disposal at once more than twelve legions of angels?
你以为我不能求我的父, 他就马上给我派十二营以上的天使下来吗?

26:54 How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen in this way?”
如果这样, 经上预言这事必须发生, 怎能应验呢? ”

26:55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? Every day in the temple courts I sat teaching, and you did not arrest me!
那时, 耶稣对众人说: “你们带着刀棒出来, 把我当作强盗捉拿吗? 我天天坐在殿里教导人, 你们却没有逮捕我.

26:56 But all this has happened in order that the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then the disciples all abandoned him and fled.
但这整件事的发生, 是要应验先知书上的话. ”那时, 门徒都离开他逃跑了.

26:57 Now those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.
那些逮捕了耶稣的人, 把他押去见大祭司该亚法. 那时经学家和长老已经聚集在那里了.

26:58 But Peter was following him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And he went inside and was sitting with the officers to see the outcome.
彼得远远地跟着耶稣, 直到大祭司的官邸. 他进到里面, 和差役坐在一起, 要看事情怎样了结.

26:59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.
祭司长和公议会全体都想找假证供来控告耶稣, 好把他处死;

26:60 And they did not find it, although many false witnesses came forward. And finally two came forward
虽然有许多人前来作假证供, 却找不着证据. 最后有两个人前来说:

26:61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it within three days.’ ”
“这人说过: ‘我可以拆毁神的圣所, 三日之内又把它建造起来. ’”

26:62 And the high priest stood up and said to him, “Do you reply nothing? What are these people testifying against you?”
大祭司就站起来, 对耶稣说: “你为什么不回答? 这些人作证, 控告你的是什么呢? ”

26:63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I put you under oath by the living God, that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!”
耶稣却不作声. 大祭司又对他说: “我指着永生的神要你起誓, 告诉我们你是不是基督,神的儿子. ”

26:64 Jesus said to him, “You have said it. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
耶稣回答: “这是你说的; 但我告诉你们: 从今以后, 你们要看见人子, 坐在权能者的右边, 驾着天上的云降临. ”

26:65 Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have just now heard the blasphemy!
大祭司就撕开衣服, 说: “他说了亵渎的话, 我们还要什么证人呢? 你们现在听见了这亵渎的话,

26:66 What do you think?” And they answered and said, “He deserves death!”
认为怎样呢? ”他们回答: “他是该死的. ”

26:67 Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists, and they slapped him,
于是他们吐唾沫在他的脸上, 用拳头打他, 也有人用掌掴他, 说:

26:68 saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who is it who hit you?”
“基督啊, 向我们说预言吧! 是谁打你呢? ”

26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
彼得坐在外面的院子里, 有一个婢女走过来对他说: “你也是和加利利人耶稣一伙的. ”

26:70 But he denied it in the presence of them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean!”
彼得却当众否认, 说: “我不知道你说什么. ”

26:71 And when he went out to the gateway, another female slave saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”
他出到门口, 又有一个婢女看见他, 就对那里的人说: “这人是和拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的. ”

26:72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
彼得再次否认, 并且发誓说: “我不认识那个人. ”

26:73 And after a little while those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them also, because even your accent reveals who you are.”
过了一会, 站在那里的人前来对他说: “你的确是他们中间的一个, 因为一听你的口音就认出来了. ”

26:74 Then he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
彼得就发咒起誓说: “我不认识那一个人. ”立刻鸡就叫了.

26:75 And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times,” and he went outside and wept bitterly.
彼得想起耶稣所说的话: “鸡叫以前, 你会三次不认我”, 他就出去痛哭.

Matthew - Chapter 27

27:1 Now when it was early morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus in order to put him to death.
到了早上, 所有的祭司长和民间的长老商议怎样对付耶稣, 好杀掉他.

27:2 And after tying him up, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
他们把他绑起来, 押去交给总督彼拉多.

27:3 Then when Judas, the one who had betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders,
那时, 出卖耶稣的犹大见耶稣定了罪, 就后悔了. 他把那三十块银子还给祭司长和长老, 说:

27:4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”
“我有罪了! 我出卖了无辜的人(“人”原文作“血”)! ”他们说: “这是你的事, 跟我们有什么关系? ”

27:5 And throwing the silver coins into the temple he departed. And he went away and hanged himself.
犹大把银子丢进圣所, 然后离开, 出去吊死了.

27:6 But the chief priests took the silver coins and said, “It is not permitted to put them into the temple treasury, because it is blood money.”
祭司长把银子拾起来, 说: “这是血钱, 不可放在殿库里. ”

27:7 And after taking counsel, they purchased with them the Potter’s Field, for a burial place for strangers.
他们商议之后, 就用那些钱买了“陶匠的田”, 用来作外国人的坟地.

27:8 (For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood until today.)
所以那田称为“血田”, 直到今日.

27:9 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, who said, “And they took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one who had been priced, on whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel,
这应验了耶利米先知所说的: “他们拿了三十块银子, 就是以色列人给他估定的价钱,

27:10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, just as the Lord directed me.”
用它买了‘陶匠的田’, 正如主所指示我的. ”

27:11 So Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” And Jesus said, “You say so.”
耶稣站在总督面前, 总督问他: “你是犹太人的王吗? ”耶稣回答: “这是你说的. ”

27:12 And when he was being accused by the chief priests and elders he answered nothing.
祭司长和长老控告他的时候, 他却不回答.

27:13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?”
彼拉多又问他: “他们作证指控你这么多的事, 你没有听见吗? ”

27:14 And he did not reply to him, not even with reference to one statement, so that the governor was very astonished.
耶稣一句话也不回答他, 令总督非常惊奇.

27:15 Now at each feast, the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd—the one whom they wanted.
每逢这节期, 总督有一个惯例, 就是给群众释放一个他们要求释放的囚犯.

27:16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.
那时, 有个声名狼籍的囚犯, 名叫耶数．巴拉巴.

27:17 So after they had assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you—Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?”
群众聚集的时候, 彼拉多问他们: “你们要我给你们释放谁? 耶数．巴拉巴或是称为基督的耶稣呢? ”

27:18 (For he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.
他知道他们是因为嫉妒才把耶稣交了来.

27:19 And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much as a result of a dream today because of him.”)
彼拉多坐在审判台上的时候, 他的夫人派人来说: “你不要干涉这个义人的事, 因为昨夜我在梦中因他受了很多的苦. ”

27:20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas and put Jesus to death.
祭司长和长老怂恿群众, 叫他们去要求释放巴拉巴, 除掉耶稣.

27:21 So the governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas!”
总督问他们: “这两个人, 你们要我给你们释放哪一个? ”他们说: “巴拉巴! ”

27:22 Pilate said to them, “What then should I do with Jesus, the one who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!”
彼拉多对他们说: “那么, 我怎样处置那称为基督的耶稣呢? ”他们齐声说: “把他钉十字架! ”

27:23 And he said, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they began to shout even louder, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
彼拉多说: “他作了什么恶事呢? ”众人更加大声喊叫: “把他钉十字架! ”

27:24 So Pilate, when he saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but instead an uproar was developing, took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this man. You see to it!”
彼拉多见无济于事, 反会引起骚动, 就拿水在群众面前洗手, 说: “流这人的血, 与我无关, 你们自己负责吧. ”

27:25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
群众回答: “流他的血的责任, 归在我们和我们子孙的身上吧. ”

27:26 Then he released Barabbas for them, but after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over so that he could be crucified.
于是彼拉多给他们释放了巴拉巴; 他把耶稣鞭打了, 就交给他们钉十字架.

27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole cohort to him.
总督的士兵把耶稣带到总督府, 召集全队士兵到他面前.

27:28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet military cloak around him,
他们脱去他的衣服, 给他披上朱红色的外袍,

27:29 and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”
又用荆棘编成冠冕, 戴在他的头上, 把一根芦苇放在他的右手, 跪在他面前讥笑他说: “犹太人的王万岁! ”

27:30 And they spat on him and took the reed and repeatedly struck him on his head.
然后向他吐唾沫, 又拿起芦苇打他的头.

27:31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the military cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify him.
戏弄完了, 就脱下他的外袍, 给他穿回衣服, 带去钉十字架.

27:32 And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon. They forced this man to carry his cross.
他们出来的时候, 遇见一个古利奈人, 名叫西门, 就强迫他背耶稣的十字架.

27:33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull),
到了一个地方, 名叫各各他, 就是“髑髅地”的意思,

27:34 they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink, and when he tasted it he did not want to drink it.
他们把苦胆调和的酒给他喝, 他尝了却不肯喝.

27:35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots.
士兵把他钉了十字架, 就抽签分他的衣服,

27:36 And they sat down and were watching over him there.
然后坐在那里看守他.

27:37 And they put above his head the charge against him in writing: “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
他们在耶稣的头以上, 钉了一块牌子, 写着他的罪状: “这是犹太人的王耶稣”.

27:38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
当时, 有两个强盗和他一同钉十字架, 一个在右, 一个在左.

27:39 And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads
过路的人嘲笑他, 摇着头说:

27:40 and saying, “The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
“你这个想拆毁圣所, 三日之内又把它建造起来的, 救救自己吧! 如果你是神的儿子, 从十字架上下来吧! ”

27:41 In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying,
祭司长,经学家和长老也同样讥笑他, 说:

27:42 “He saved others; he is not able to save himself! He is the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him!
“他救了别人, 却不能救自己. 如果他是以色列的王, 现在可以从十字架上下来, 我们就信他.

27:43 He trusts in God; let him deliver him now if he wants to, because he said, ‘I am the Son of God’!”
他信靠神; 如果神喜悦他, 就让神现在救他吧, 因为他说自己是神的儿子. ”

27:44 And in the same way even the robbers who were crucified with him were reviling him.
和他一同钉十字架的强盗也都这样侮辱他.

27:45 Now from the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
从正午到下午三点钟, 遍地都黑暗了.

27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)
大约三点钟, 耶稣大声呼叫: “以利, 以利, 拉马撒巴各大尼? ”意思是“我的神, 我的神, 你为什么离弃我? ”

27:47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, “This man is summoning Elijah!”
有几个站在那里的人, 听见了就说: “这个人在呼叫以利亚呢. ”

27:48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.
有一个人马上跑去拿海绵蘸满了酸酒, 用芦苇递给他喝.

27:49 But the others said, “Leave him alone! let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.”
但其他的人说: “等一等, 我们看看以利亚来不来救他. ”

27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
耶稣再大声呼叫, 气就断了.

27:51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook and the rocks were split.
忽然, 圣所里的幔子从上到下裂成两半; 地面震动, 石头崩裂;

27:52 And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
而且坟墓开了, 许多睡了的圣徒的身体也复活了,

27:53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
从坟墓里出来; 到了耶稣复活之后, 他们进到圣城向许多人显现.

27:54 Now the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that took place, were extremely frightened, saying, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”
百夫长和跟他一起看守耶稣的士兵, 看见了地震和所发生的事情, 就十分惧怕, 说: “这个人真是神的儿子. ”

27:55 And there were many women there, observing from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him,
有许多妇女在那里远远地观看; 她们是从加利利开始跟随耶稣服事他的.

27:56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
她们中间有抹大拉的马利亚,雅各和约西的母亲马利亚, 以及西庇太的儿子的母亲.

27:57 Now when it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who also was a disciple of Jesus himself.
到了晚上, 有一个亚利马太的富翁来到, 他名叫约瑟, 是耶稣的门徒.

27:58 This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
这个人去见彼拉多, 请求领取耶稣的身体, 彼拉多就吩咐给他.

27:59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
约瑟领了耶稣的身体, 用干净的细麻布裹好,

27:60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.
放在自己的新坟墓里, 就是在磐石里凿出来的. 他辊了一块大石头来挡住墓门, 然后才离开.

27:61 Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
抹大拉的马利亚和另一个马利亚都在那里, 对着坟墓坐着.

27:62 Now on the next day, which is after the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate,
第二天, 就是过了“预备日”的那一天, 祭司长和法利赛人去见彼拉多, 说:

27:63 saying, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise.’
“大人, 我们想起那个骗子, 生前说过: ‘三天之后, 我要复活. ’

27:64 Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
所以请你下令把坟墓严密看守, 直到第三天, 免得他的门徒来把他偷去, 然后对民众说: ‘他从死人中复活了. ’这样, 日后的骗局比起初的就更大了. ”

27:65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you know how.”
彼拉多对他们说: “你们带着卫兵, 尽你们所能的去严密看守吧. ”

27:66 So they went with the guard of soldiers and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
他们就去把墓前的石封好, 又派卫兵把守, 严密地守住坟墓.

Matthew - Chapter 28

28:1 Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to view the tomb.
过了安息日, 在礼拜日天亮的时候, 抹大拉的马利亚和另一个马利亚来看坟墓.

28:2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up and rolled away the stone and sat down on it.
忽然, 地震得很厉害; 主的使者从天上下来, 把石头辊开, 坐在上面.

28:3 Now his appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow.
他的样子好像闪电, 衣服洁白如雪.

28:4 And the guards trembled from the fear of him and became like dead men.
看守的人因为害怕他, 就浑身战抖, 好像死了一样.

28:5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
那使者对妇女们说: “你们不要怕, 我知道你们在找被钉十字架的耶稣.

28:6 He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.
他不在这里, 已经照他所说的复活了. 你们来看安放他的地方吧.

28:7 And go quickly, tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and behold, he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Behold, I have told you.”
快去告诉他的门徒: ‘他已经从死人中复活了. 他会比你们先到加利利去, 你们在那里必看见他. ’现在我已经告诉你们了. ”

28:8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
她们立刻离开坟墓, 又害怕, 又十分欢喜, 跑去告诉耶稣的门徒.

28:9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
忽然, 耶稣向她们迎面而来, 说: “你们好. ”她们就上前, 抱住他的脚拜他.

28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go tell my brothers that they should go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
耶稣对她们说: “不要怕, 去告诉我的弟兄, 叫他们到加利利去, 他们在那里必看见我. ”

28:11 And while they were going, behold, some of the guard of soldiers went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
她们去的时候, 有些卫兵进了城, 把一切所发生的事向祭司长报告.

28:12 And after they had assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a rather large sum of money to the soldiers,
祭司长就和长老聚集在一起商量, 然后拿许多钱给士兵,

28:13 telling them, “Say ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him while we were sleeping.’
说: “你们要这样说: ‘他的门徒晚上来了, 趁我们睡着的时候, 把他偷走了. ’

28:14 And if this matter is heard before the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
如果总督知道了这件事, 我们会说服他, 不会牵连你们. ”

28:15 So they took the money and did as they were told, and spread abroad this report among the Jews until this very day.
士兵收了钱, 就照着祭司长和长老的指使去作. 这种说法直到今日还流传在犹太人当中.

28:16 So the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated for them.
十一个门徒往加利利去, 到了耶稣指定的山上.

28:17 And when they saw him, they worshiped him, but some doubted.
他们看见耶稣就拜他, 但仍然有些人怀疑.

28:18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
耶稣上前来, 对他们说: “天上地上一切权柄都赐给我了.

28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
所以, 你们要去使万民作我的门徒, 奉父子圣灵的名, 给他们施洗(“奉父子圣灵的名, 给他们施洗”或译: “给他们施洗, 归入父子圣灵的名”),

28:20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the age.”
我吩咐你们的一切, 都要教导他们遵守. 这样, 我就常常与你们同在, 直到这世代的终结. ”

Mark - Chapter 1

1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
神的儿子(有些抄本无“神的儿子”一句)耶稣基督福音的开始.

1:2 Just as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, “Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way,
正如以赛亚先知的书上写着: “看哪, 我差遣我的使者在你面前, 预备你的道路;

1:3 the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!’ ”
在旷野有呼喊者的声音: ‘预备主的道, 修直他的路! ’”

1:4 John was there baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
照这话, 施洗的约翰在旷野出现了, 传讲悔改的洗礼, 使罪得赦.

1:5 And all the Judean region and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
犹太全地和全耶路撒冷的人, 都出来到他那里去, 承认自己的罪, 在约旦河里受了他的洗.

1:8 I baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

1:15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
说: “时候到了, 神的国近了, 你们应当悔改, 相信福音. ”

1:16 And as he was passing by along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
耶稣沿着加利利海边行走, 看见西门和他弟弟安得烈在海上撒网; 他们是渔夫.

1:17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you become fishers of people.”
耶稣就对他们说: “来跟从我, 我要使你们成为得人的渔夫. ”

他们立刻撇下网, 跟从了他.

1:19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were in the boat mending the nets.
耶稣稍往前走, 看见西庇太的儿子雅各, 和雅各的弟弟约翰, 正在船上整理鱼网,

1:21 And they went into Capernaum and immediately on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue.
他们到了迦百农, 耶稣随即在安息日进入会堂教导人.

1:22 And they were amazed at his teaching, because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like the scribes.
大家对他的教训都很惊奇, 因为他教导他们, 像一个有权柄的人, 不像经学家.

1:23 And so then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
就在那时, 会堂里有一个被污灵附着的人, 喊叫起来,

1:24 saying, “Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
说: “拿撒勒人耶稣, 我们跟你有什么关系呢? 你来毁灭我们吗? 我知道你是谁, 你是神的圣者. ”

1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
耶稣斥责他说: “住口! 从他身上出来! ”

1:26 And after convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him.
污灵使那人抽疯, 大声喊叫, 就从他身上出来了.

1:27 And they were all amazed, so that they began to discuss with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.”
众人都很惊讶, 于是彼此对问说: “这是怎么一回事? 是个有权能的新道理啊! 他吩咐污灵, 污灵竟服从了他! ”

1:28 And the report about him then went out everywhere in the whole surrounding region of Galilee.
耶稣的名声立刻传遍了加利利一带.

1:29 And so then he departed from the synagogue and came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
他们一出会堂, 就和雅各,约翰到西门和安得烈的家里去.

1:30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down, suffering with a fever, and at once they told him about her.
西门的岳母正在发烧躺着, 他们立刻告诉耶稣.

1:31 And he came and raised her up by taking hold of her hand, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
耶稣走到她面前, 拉着她的手, 扶她起来, 热就退了, 她就服事他们.

1:32 Now when it was evening, when the sun had set, they began bringing to him all those who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.
到了黄昏, 有人不断把生病的和被鬼附的, 都带到耶稣面前.

1:33 And the whole town was gathered together at the door.
全城的人都聚集在门口.

1:34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases and expelled many demons. And he did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
耶稣医好了各样的病, 也赶出许多的鬼, 并且不许鬼说话, 因为鬼认识他.

1:35 And getting up early in the morning while it was very dark, he departed and went to a deserted place, and there he was praying.
次日凌晨, 天还没有亮, 耶稣起身出去, 来到荒野的地方, 在那里祷告.

1:36 And Simon and those who were with him searched diligently for him.
西门和那些跟他在一起的人就去寻找耶稣.

1:37 And they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you!”
他们找到了, 就对他说: “大家都在找你呢! ”

1:38 And he said to them, “Let us go elsewhere, into the neighboring rural towns, so that I can preach there also, because I have come out for this very reason.”
耶稣对他们说: “我们到邻近的乡镇去吧, 我也好在那里传道, 因为我就是为这事而来的. ”

1:39 And he went into all Galilee preaching in their synagogues and expelling demons.
于是他走遍加利利全地, 在他们的会堂里传道, 并且赶鬼.

1:40 And a leper came to him, entreating him and kneeling down, saying to him, “If you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
有一个患痲风的人, 来到耶稣跟前, 跪下求他说: “如果你肯, 必能使我洁净. ”

1:41 And becoming angry, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”
耶稣动了怜悯的心, 就伸手摸他, 说: “我肯, 你洁净了吧! ”

1:42 And immediately the leprosy went away from him and he was made clean.
痲风立刻离开了他, 他就洁净了.

1:43 And warning him sternly, he sent him away at once.
耶稣打发那人离开以前, 严厉地吩咐他,

1:44 And he said to him, “See to it that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and bring for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
说: “你千万不可把这事告诉任何人, 你只要去给祭司检查, 并且照着摩西所规定的, 为你得洁净献祭, 好向大家作证. ”

1:45 But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread abroad the account, so that he was no longer able to enter publicly into a town. But he was staying outside in deserted places, and they were coming to him from all directions.
但那人出来, 竟任意传讲, 就把这事传开了, 以致耶稣不能再公开进城, 只好留在外边荒野的地方; 然而还是有人从各处到他那里去.

Mark - Chapter 2

2:1 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home.
过了些日子, 耶稣再回到迦百农. 一听说他在屋子里,

2:2 And many had gathered, so that there was no longer room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them.
许多人就都来聚集, 甚至连门前都没有地方了, 耶稣就对他们讲道.

2:3 And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.
那时有人把一个瘫子带到耶稣那里, 是由四个人抬来的.

2:4 And when they were not able to bring him to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And after digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
因为人挤, 不能带到他面前, 就对着耶稣所在的地方, 拆去房顶; 拆通了, 就把瘫子连人带褥子缒了下去.

2:5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”
耶稣看见他们的信心, 就对瘫子说: “孩子, 你的罪赦了. ”

2:6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
当时有几个经学家也坐在那里, 心里议论说:

2:7 “Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?”
“这个人为什么这样说话? 他说僭妄的话了. 除了神一位以外, 谁能赦罪呢? ”

2:8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they were reasoning like this within themselves, said to them, “Why are you considering these things in your hearts?
耶稣心里立刻知道他们这样议论, 就对他们说: “你们心里为什么议论这事?

2:9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk’?
对瘫子说‘你的罪赦了’, 或说‘起来, 拿着你的褥子走’, 哪一样容易呢?

2:10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—he said to the paralytic—
然而为了要你们知道人子在地上有赦罪的权柄, (他就对瘫子说: )

2:11 “I say to you, get up, pick up your stretcher, and go to your home.”
我吩咐你, 起来, 拿起你的褥子, 回家去吧. ”

2:12 And he got up and immediately picked up his stretcher and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
那人就起来, 立刻拿着褥子, 当众出去了. 众人都非常惊奇, 颂赞神, 说: “我们从来没有见过这样的事. ”

2:13 And he went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he began to teach them.
耶稣又出去, 到了加利利海边; 众人都到他面前来, 他就教导他们.

2:14 And as he was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me!” And he stood up and followed him.
他往前走的时候, 看见亚勒腓的儿子利未坐在税关那里, 就对他说: “来跟从我! ”他就起来跟从了耶稣.

2:15 And it happened that he was dining in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many and they were following him.
后来耶稣在利未家里吃饭, 有很多税吏和罪人也来与他和门徒一起吃饭; 因为这样的人很多, 并且他们已经跟随了耶稣.

2:16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, began to say to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
法利赛派的经学家, 看见耶稣与罪人和税吏一起吃饭, 就对耶稣的门徒说: “他跟税吏和罪人一起吃饭吗? ”

2:17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
耶稣听见了, 就对他们说: “健康的人不需要医生, 有病的人才需要; 我来不是要召义人, 而是要召罪人. ”

2:18 And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and said to him, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
约翰的门徒和法利赛人正在禁食, 有人来问耶稣说: “为什么约翰的门徒和法利赛人的门徒常常禁食, 你的门徒却不禁食呢? ”

2:19 And Jesus said to them, “The bridegroom’s attendants are not able to fast while the bridegroom is with them, are they? As long a time as they have the bridegroom with them, they are not able to fast.
耶稣回答: “新郎跟宾客在一起的时候, 宾客怎能禁食呢? 只要新郎还在, 就不能禁食.

2:20 But days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
但日子到了, 新郎要被取去, 离开他们, 那一天他们就要禁食了.

2:21 No one sews a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment. Otherwise the patch pulls away from it—the new from the old—and the tear becomes worse.
没有人会把一块新布缝在旧衣服上, 如果这样, 新的布就会把旧衣服扯破, 裂开的地方就更大了.

2:22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the wine will burst the wineskins and the wine is destroyed and the wineskins too. But new wine is put into new wineskins.”
也没有人会把新酒装在旧皮袋里, 如果这样, 酒就会把皮袋胀破, 酒和皮袋都损坏了; 新酒总该装在新皮袋里. ”

2:23 And it happened that he was going through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples began to make their way while plucking off the heads of grain.
有一次, 在安息日, 耶稣从麦田经过, 他的门徒一面走路, 一面摘麦穗.

2:24 And the Pharisees began to say to him, “Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
法利赛人对耶稣说: “你看, 他们为什么作安息日不可作的事? ”

2:25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those who were with him were hungry—
耶稣对他们说: “大卫和跟他一起的人在饥饿缺食的时候所作的, 你们没有念过吗?

2:26 how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests) and also gave it to those who were with him?”
他不是在亚比亚他作大祭司的时候, 进了神的殿, 吃了除祭司以外谁都不可以吃的陈设饼, 而且还给跟他在一起的人吃吗? ”

2:27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath.
耶稣又告诉他们: “安息日是为人设立的, 人并不是为安息日设立的.

2:28 So then, the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
这样, 人子也是安息日的主. ”

Mark - Chapter 3

3:1 And he entered into the synagogue again, and a man who had a withered hand was there.
耶稣又进了会堂, 在那里有一个人, 他的一只手枯干了.

3:2 And they were watching him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him.

3:4 And he said to them, “Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.
又对他们说: “在安息日哪一样是可以作的呢: 作好事还是坏事? 救命还是害命? ”他们一声不响.

3:5 And looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
耶稣怒目环视他们, 因他们的心刚硬而难过, 就对那人说: “伸出手来! ”他把手一伸, 手就复原了.

3:8 and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon a great crowd came to him because they heard all that he was doing.
还有许多人听见他所作的一切事, 就从犹太,耶路撒冷,以土迈,约旦河外和推罗,西顿一带地方来到他跟前.

3:24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
一国若自相纷争, 那国就站立不住;

3:25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

耶稣又在海边教导人. 有一大群人聚集到他那里, 因此他上船坐下来. 船在海中, 群众都朝着海站在岸上.

4:5 And other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once, because it did not have any depth of soil.
有的落在泥土不多的石地上, 因为泥土不深, 很快就长起来.

4:6 And when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have enough root, it withered.
但太阳一出来, 就把它晒干, 又因为没有根就枯萎了.

4:7 And other seed fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it, and it did not produce grain.
有的落在荆棘里, 荆棘长起来, 把它挤住, 它就结不出果实来.

耶稣对他们说: “神的国的奥秘, 只给你们知道, 但对于外人, 一切都用比喻,

4:12 so that ‘they may look closely and not perceive, and they may listen carefully and not understand, lest they turn and it be forgiven them.’ ”
叫他们‘看是看见了, 却不领悟, 听是听见了, 却不明白, 免得他们回转过来, 得到赦免. ’”

4:13 And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all the parables?
耶稣又对他们说: “你们不明白这个比喻, 怎能明白一切比喻呢?

4:14 The sower sows the word.
撒种的人所撒的就是道.

4:15 And these are the ones beside the path where the word is sown, and whenever they hear it, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
那撒在路旁的, 就是人听了道, 撒但立刻来, 把撒在他心里的道夺去.

4:16 And these are like the ones sown on the rocky ground, who whenever they hear the word immediately receive it with joy.
照样, 那撒在石地上的, 就是人听了道, 立刻欢欢喜喜地接受了;

4:17 And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Then when affliction or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.
可是他们里面没有根, 只是暂时的; 一旦为道遭遇患难, 受到迫害, 就立刻跌倒了.

4:18 And others are the ones sown among the thorn plants—these are the ones who hear the word,
那撒在荆棘里的, 是指另一些人; 他们听了道,

4:19 and the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word and it becomes unproductive.
然而今世的忧虑,财富的迷惑, 以及种种的欲望, 接连进来, 把道挤住, 就结不出果实来.

4:20 And those are the ones sown on the good soil, who hear the word and receive it and bear fruit—one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred times as much.”
那撒在好土里的, 就是人听了道, 接受了, 并且结出果实, 有三十倍的,有六十倍的,有一百倍的. ”

4:21 And he said to them, “Surely a lamp is not brought so that it may be put under a bushel basket or under a bed, is it? Is it not so that it may be put on a lampstand?
耶稣又对他们说: “灯难道是拿来放在量器底下或床底下的吗? 它不是该放在灯台上吗?

4:22 For nothing is secret except so that it may be revealed, nor has become hidden except so that it will come to light.
因为没有什么隐藏的事不被显明出来, 没有什么掩盖的事不被揭露的.

4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
有耳可听的, 就应当听. ”

4:24 And he said to them, “Take care what you hear! With the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you, and will be added to you.
耶稣又对他们说: “要留心你们所听到的, 你们用什么尺度量给人, 神也要用什么尺度量给你们, 并且要超过尺度给你们.

4:25 For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
因为那有的, 还要给他; 那没有的, 就算他有什么也要拿去. ”

4:26 And he said, “The kingdom of God is like this: like a man scatters seed on the ground.
耶稣说: “神的国好像人在地里撒种,

4:27 And he sleeps and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows—he does not know how.
他夜里睡觉, 白天起来, 种子发芽生长, 自己也不知道怎么会这样的.

4:28 By itself the soil produces a crop: first the grass, then the head of grain, then the full grain in the head.
地生五谷是自然的, 先长苗, 后吐穗, 最后穗上结满了子粒.

4:29 But when the crop permits, he sends in the sickle right away, because the harvest has come.”
庄稼熟了, 就派人用镰刀割下, 因为收成的时候到了. ”

4:30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or by what parable can we present it?
又说: “我们要把神的国比作什么呢? 我们可以用什么比喻来形容它呢?

4:31 It is like a mustard seed that when sown on the ground, although it is the smallest of all the seeds that are on the ground,
它好像一粒芥菜种, 刚种下去的时候, 比地上的一切种子都小,

4:32 but when it is sown it grows up and becomes the largest of all the garden herbs, and sends out large branches so that the birds of the sky are able to nest in its shade.”
种下以后, 生长起来, 却比一切蔬菜都大, 长出大枝子, 甚至天空的飞鸟都可以在它的荫下搭窝. ”

4:33 And with many parables such as these he was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
耶稣用许多这样的比喻, 照着他们所能听懂的, 向他们讲道;

4:34 And he did not speak to them without a parable, but in private he explained everything to his own disciples.
不用比喻, 就不对他们讲. 只有单独和自己的门徒在一起的时候, 才把一切解释给他们听.

4:35 And on that day, when it was evening, he said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”
当天黄昏, 耶稣对门徒说: “我们渡到海那边去吧. ”

4:36 And leaving the crowd, they took him along, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
门徒离开群众, 耶稣已经在船上, 他们就载他过去, 也有别的船和他同去.

4:37 And a great storm of wind developed, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already being filled with water.
忽然起了狂风, 波浪不断地打进船来, 舱里积满了水.

4:38 And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion, and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, is it not a concern to you that we are perishing?”
耶稣却在船尾靠着枕头睡着了. 门徒把他叫醒, 对他说: “老师, 我们要死了, 你不管吗? ”

4:39 And he woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Be quiet! Be silent!” And the wind abated and there was a great calm.
耶稣起来, 斥责了风, 又对海说: “不要作声! 安静吧! ”风就停止, 大大地平静了.

4:40 And he said to them, “Why are you fearful? Do you not yet have faith?”
然后对他们说: “为什么这样胆怯呢? 你们怎么没有信心呢? ”

4:41 And they were terribly frightened and began to say to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
门徒非常惧怕, 彼此说: “这到底是谁, 连风和海都听从他? ”

Mark - Chapter 5

5:1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
他们到了海的那边, 进入格拉森人的地区.

5:2 And as he was getting out of the boat, immediately from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit went to meet him,
耶稣一下船, 就有一个被污灵附着的人, 从墓地里迎面而来.

5:3 who lived among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him any longer, not even with a chain,
那人经常住在坟墓中间, 从来没有人能绑住他, 甚至用锁链都不能.

5:4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the shackles had been shattered. And no one was strong enough to subdue him.
曾经有很多次, 人用脚镣和锁链捆绑他, 锁链却被他挣断, 脚镣也被他弄碎, 始终没有人能制伏他.

5:5 And during every night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
他昼夜在坟墓里和山野间喊叫, 又用石头砍自己.

5:6 And when he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and knelt down before him.
他远远地看见耶稣, 就跑过去拜他,

5:7 And crying out with a loud voice he said, “What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God, do not torment me!”
大声呼叫, 说: “至高神的儿子耶稣, 我跟你有什么关系呢? 我指着神恳求你, 不要叫我受苦. ”

5:8 (For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”)
因为当时耶稣吩咐他: “你这污灵, 从这人身上出来! ”

5:9 And he was asking him “What is your name?” And he said to him, “My name is Legion, because we are many.”
耶稣问他: “你叫什么名字? ”他回答: “我名叫‘群’, 因为我们众多. ”

5:10 And he was imploring him many times that he would not send them out of the region.
他再三央求耶稣, 不要把他们从那地方赶走.

5:11 Now a large herd of pigs was there at the hill feeding,
附近的山坡上有一大群猪正在吃东西;

5:12 and they implored him, saying, “Send us to the pigs so that we may enter into them.”
污灵求耶稣说: “打发我们到猪群那里附在猪身上吧. ”

5:13 And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs, and the herd—about two thousand—rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
耶稣准了他们. 污灵就出来, 进到猪群里去, 于是那群猪闯下山崖, 掉在海里淹死了, 猪的数目约有两千.

5:14 And their herdsmen fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside, and they came to see what it was that had happened.
放猪的人都逃跑了, 到城里和各乡村去报告, 大家就来看发生了什么事.

5:15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there clothed and in his right mind—the one who had had the legion—and they were afraid.
他们来到耶稣跟前, 看见那被鬼附过的人, 就是曾被名叫‘群’的鬼附过的人, 坐在那里, 穿上了衣服, 神志清醒, 他们就害怕.

5:16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs.
看见的人把被鬼附过的人所遭遇的和那群猪的事, 告诉了他们.

5:17 And they began to urge him to depart from their region.
他们就要求耶稣离开他们的地区.

5:18 And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed began to implore him that he could go with him.
耶稣上船的时候, 那被鬼附过的人来求他, 要和他在一起.

5:19 And he did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your home to your people and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and that he has had mercy on you.”
耶稣不许, 却对他说: “你回家到你的亲属那里去, 把主为你作了多么大的事, 并他怎样怜悯你, 都告诉他们. ”

5:20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him, and they were all astonished.
那人就走了, 开始在低加波利传讲耶稣为他所作的大事, 众人都希奇.

5:21 And after Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea.
耶稣又坐船渡到那边; 还在海边的时候, 有一大群人向他围拢过来.

5:22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue came—Jairus by name—and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet.
当时来了一位会堂的主管, 名叫叶鲁. 他一看见耶稣, 就俯伏在他脚前,

5:23 And he was imploring him many times, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death! Come, lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and will live.”
迫切地求他说: “我的小女儿快要死了, 请你来按手在她身上, 把她救活. ”

5:24 And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.
耶稣就和他一起去了. 一大群人跟着他, 拥挤着他.

5:25 And there was a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages twelve years.
有一个女人, 患了十二年的血漏病,

5:26 And she had endured many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and had received no help at all, but instead became worse.
在好些医生手中受了许多痛苦, 又花尽了她一切所有的, 不仅毫无起色, 反而更加沉重.

5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak,
她听见耶稣的事, 就从后面来杂在人群中间, 摸耶稣的衣服.

5:28 for she was saying, “If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!”
因为她说: “只要摸到他的衣服, 我就必痊愈. ”

5:29 And immediately her hemorrhage stopped and she realized in her body that she was healed of her suffering.
于是她血漏的源头立刻干了, 她在身体上感觉到病已经得了医治.

5:30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothing?”
耶稣自己立刻觉得有能力从他里面出去, 就转过身来对群众说: “谁摸了我的衣服? ”

5:31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say ‘Who touched me?’ ”
门徒对他说: “你看, 这么多人拥挤你, 你还问‘谁摸我’吗? ”

5:32 And he was looking around to see the one who had done this.
耶稣周围观看, 要看作这事的女人.

5:33 So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
那女人知道在她身上所成就的事, 就恐惧战兢地前来向耶稣俯伏, 把实情全告诉了他.

5:34 But he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering.”
耶稣对她说: “女儿, 你的信使你痊愈了, 平安地回去吧, 你的病已经好了. ”

5:35 While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?”
耶稣还在说话的时候, 有人从会堂主管的家里来说: “你的女儿已经死了, 何必还劳动老师呢? ”

5:36 But Jesus, ignoring what was said, told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!”
耶稣听见所说的话, 就对会堂主管说: “不要怕! 只要信! ”

5:37 And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
于是他不许别人跟他一起去, 只带了彼得,雅各和雅各的弟弟约翰.

5:38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly.
他们来到会堂主管的家, 耶稣看见许多人哭泣哀号, 一片混乱,

5:39 And when he entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.”
就走进去, 对众人说: “为什么大哭大嚷呢? 孩子不是死了, 是睡着了. ”

5:40 And they began laughing at him. But he sent them all out and took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was.
众人就嘲笑他. 耶稣把众人都赶出去, 带着孩子的父母和跟随他的门徒, 进入孩子所在的房间.

5:41 And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”),
耶稣拉着孩子的手, 对她说: “大利大, 古米! ”翻译出来就是: “小女孩, 我吩咐你起来! ”

5:42 and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around (for she was twelve years old). And immediately they were utterly and completely astonished.
那女孩子就立刻起来行走; 那时她已经十二岁了. 众人就非常惊奇.

5:43 And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something to eat.
耶稣再三嘱咐他们, 不要让人知道这事, 又吩咐给她东西吃.

Mark - Chapter 6

6:1 And he went out from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
耶稣离开那里, 来到自己的家乡, 他的门徒跟着他.

6:2 And when the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed, saying, “Where did this man get these things? And what is this wisdom that has been granted to this man, and the miracles such as these performed through his hands?
到了安息日, 他开始在会堂里教导人; 很多人听见了, 都惊奇地说: “这个人从哪里得来这一切呢? 所赐给他的是怎么样的智慧, 竟然借着他的手行出这样的神迹?

6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they were offended by him.
这不是那木匠吗? 不是马利亚的儿子, 雅各,约西,犹大,西门的哥哥吗? 他的妹妹们不也在我们这里吗? ”他们就厌弃耶稣.

6:4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own household.”
耶稣对他们说: “先知除了在自己的本乡,本族,本家之外, 没有不受人尊敬的. ”

6:5 And he was not able to do any miracle in that place except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
耶稣不能在那里行什么神迹, 只给几个病人按手, 医好了他们.

6:6 And he was astonished because of their unbelief. And he was going around among the villages teaching.
对于那些人的不信, 他感到诧异. 耶稣到周围的乡村去继续教导人.

6:7 And he summoned the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
他把十二门徒叫来, 差遣他们两个两个地出去, 赐给他们胜过污灵的权柄;

6:8 And he commanded them that they take along nothing for the journey except only a staff—no bread, no traveler’s bag, no money in their belts—
吩咐他们说: “除了手杖以外, 路上什么都不要带, 不要带干粮, 不要带口袋, 腰袋里也不要带钱,

6:9 but to put on sandals and not to wear two tunics.
只穿一双鞋, 不要穿两件衣服. ”

6:10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
又对他们说: “你们无论到哪里, 进了一家就住在那家, 直到离开那个地方.

6:11 And whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them.”
什么地方不接待你们, 不听你们, 你们离开那地方的时候, 就要把脚上的灰尘跺下去, 作为反对他们的见证. ”

6:12 And they went out and proclaimed that people should repent.
门徒就出去传道, 叫人悔改,

6:13 And they were expelling many demons and anointing many sick people with olive oil and healing them.
赶出许多鬼, 用油抹了许多病人, 医好他们.

6:14 And King Herod heard it, because his name had become known. And they were saying, “John, the one who baptizes, has been raised from the dead, and because of this these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
当时耶稣的名声传扬出去, 希律王也听到了. 有人说: “施洗的约翰从死人中复活了, 所以他身上有行神迹的能力. ”

6:15 But others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and others were saying, “He is a prophet like one of the prophets.”
又有人说: “他是以利亚. ”还有人说: “他是先知, 像古时先知中的一位. ”

6:16 But when Herod heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded—this one has been raised!”
希律听见就说: “是约翰, 我砍了他的头, 他又活了! ”

6:17 For Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
原来希律曾亲自派人去捉拿约翰, 把他捆锁在监里. 他这样作, 是为了他弟弟的妻子希罗底的缘故, 因为他娶了希罗底为妻,

6:18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not permitted for you to have your brother’s wife.”
而约翰曾对希律说: “你占有你兄弟的妻子是不合理的. ”

6:19 So Herodias held a grudge against him and was wanting to kill him, and was not able to do so.
于是希罗底怀恨在心, 想要杀他, 只是不能.

6:20 For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew him to be a righteous and holy man and protected him. And when he listened to him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he listened to him gladly.
因为希律惧怕约翰, 知道他是公义圣洁的人, 就保护他. 希律听了约翰的话, 就非常困扰, 却仍然喜欢听他.

6:21 And a suitable day came when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers and military tribunes and the most prominent men of Galilee.
有一天, 机会来了. 在希律生日的那一天, 他为大臣,千夫长和加利利的要人摆设了筵席.

6:22 And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced and pleased Herod and his dinner guests, the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
希罗底的女儿进来跳舞, 使希律和在座的宾客都很开心. 王就对女孩子说: “你无论想要什么, 只管向我求, 我一定给你! ”

6:23 And he swore to her, “Anything whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
并且对她再三起誓: “你无论向我求什么, 就是我国的一半, 我也一定给你! ”

6:24 And she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the baptizer.”
于是她出去问母亲: “我该求什么呢? ”希罗底告诉她: “施洗的约翰的头! ”

6:25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
她急忙到王面前, 向王要求说: “愿王立刻把施洗的约翰的头放在盘子上给我! ”

6:26 And although he was deeply grieved, the king, because of his oaths and dinner guests, did not want to refuse her.
希律王非常忧愁, 但是因为他的誓言和在座的宾客, 就不愿拒绝她.

6:27 And immediately the king sent an executioner and ordered him to bring his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison.
希律王立刻差遣一个侍卫, 吩咐把约翰的头拿来. 侍卫就去了, 在监里斩了约翰的头,

6:28 And he brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
把头放在盘子上, 拿来交给那女孩子, 女孩子又交给她的母亲.

6:29 And when his disciples heard this, they came and took away his corpse and placed it in a tomb.
约翰的门徒听见了, 就来把他的尸体领去, 安放在坟墓里.

6:30 And the apostles regathered to Jesus and reported to him everything that they had done and that they had taught.
使徒们回来聚集在耶稣跟前, 把他们所作和所教导的一切都报告给他听.

6:31 And he said to them, “You yourselves come privately to an isolated place and rest for a short time.” For those who were coming and going were many, and they did not even have time to eat.
耶稣对他们说: “来, 你们自己到旷野去休息一下. ”因为来往的人多, 他们甚至没有时间吃饭.

6:32 And they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
他们就悄悄地上了船, 到旷野去了.

6:33 And many people saw them leaving and recognized them, and ran there together by land from all the towns, and arrived ahead of them.
群众看见他们走了, 有许多人认出了他们, 就从各城出来, 跑到那里, 比他们先赶到.

6:34 And getting out of the boat he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
耶稣一下船, 看见一大群人, 就怜悯他们, 因为他们好像羊没有牧人一样, 就开始教导他们许多事.

6:35 And the hour had already become late when his disciples came up to him, saying, “The place is desolate and the hour is already late.
天晚了, 门徒前来对他说: “这里是旷野的地方, 天已经很晚了,

6:36 Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding farms and villages and purchase something to eat for themselves.”
请叫他们散开, 好让他们往周围的田舍村庄去, 自己买点东西吃. ”

6:37 But he answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Should we go and purchase bread for two hundred denarii and give it to them to eat?”
耶稣回答他们: “你们给他们吃吧! ”门徒说: “要我们去买两百银币的饼给他们吃吗? ”

6:38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
耶稣说: “去看看你们有多少饼! ”他们知道了, 就说: “五个饼, 还有两条鱼. ”

6:39 And he ordered them all to recline in groups on the green grass.
耶稣吩咐他们叫大家分组坐在青草地上.

6:40 And they reclined in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
他们就一排一排地坐了下来, 有一百的, 有五十的.

6:41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples so that they could set them before them. And he distributed the two fish to them all.
耶稣拿起这五个饼,两条鱼, 望着天, 祝谢了; 然后把饼擘开, 递给门徒摆在群众面前, 又把两条鱼也分给群众.

6:42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
大家都吃了, 并且吃饱了.

6:43 And they picked up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and of the fish.
他们把剩下的零碎捡起来, 装满了十二个篮子,

6:44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
吃饼的人, 男人就有五千.

6:45 And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself dismissed the crowd.
事后耶稣立刻催门徒上船, 叫他们先渡到对岸的伯赛大去, 等他自己叫众人散开.

6:46 And after he had said farewell to them, he went away to the mountain to pray.
他离开了他们, 就上山去祷告.

6:47 And when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land.
到了晚上, 船在海中, 耶稣独自在岸上,

6:48 And he saw them being beaten in their rowing because the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he was wanting to pass by them.
看见门徒辛辛苦苦地摇橹, 因为风不顺. 天快亮的时候(“天快亮的时候”原文作“夜里四更天”), 耶稣在海面上向他们走去, 想要赶过他们.

6:49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out.
门徒看见他在海面上走, 以为是鬼怪, 就喊叫起来;

6:50 For they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke with them and said to them, “Have courage, I am he! Do not be afraid!”
因为他们都看见了他, 非常恐惧. 耶稣立刻对他们说: “放心吧! 是我, 不要怕. ”

6:51 And he went up with them into the boat, and the wind abated. And they were extraordinarily astounded within themselves,
于是上了船, 和他们在一起, 风就平静了. 门徒心里十分惊奇,

6:52 because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
因为他们还不明白分饼这件事的意义, 他们的心还是迟钝.

6:53 And after they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.
他们渡过了海, 就在革尼撒勒靠岸,

6:54 And as they were getting out of the boat, people recognized him immediately.
一下船, 众人立刻认出耶稣来,

6:55 They ran about through that whole region and began to carry around those who were sick on stretchers, wherever they heard that he was.
就跑遍那一带地方, 把有病的人放在褥子上, 听见他在哪里, 就抬到哪里.

6:56 And wherever he would go, into villages or into towns or to farms, they would put those who were sick in the marketplaces and would implore him that if they could touch even the edge of his cloak. And all those who touched it were healed.
耶稣无论到什么地方, 或村庄, 或城市, 或乡野, 众人都把病人放在街上, 求耶稣准他们摸他衣服的繸子, 摸着的人就都好了.

Mark - Chapter 7

7:1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered to him.
有法利赛人和几个经学家从耶路撒冷来, 聚集到耶稣那里.

7:2 And they saw that some of his disciples were eating their bread with unclean—that is, unwashed—hands.
他们看见他的门徒有人用不洁的手, 就是没有洗过的手吃饭,

7:3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands ritually, thus holding fast to the traditions of the elders.
(原来法利赛人和所有的犹太人都拘守古人的传统, 如果不认真洗手, 就不吃东西;

7:4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions which they have received and hold fast to—for example, the washing of cups and pitchers and bronze kettles and dining couches.)
从街市回来, 不先洗手, 也不吃东西, 还有许多别的传统, 他们都沿袭拘守, 例如洗杯,洗罐,洗铜器等等. )

7:5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unclean hands?”
法利赛人和经学家问耶稣: “你的门徒为什么不遵行古人的传统, 用不洁的手吃饭呢? ”

7:6 So he said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me.
耶稣对他们说: “以赛亚指着你们这班伪君子所说的预言是对的, 经上记着: ‘这人民用嘴唇尊敬我, 心却远离我;

7:7 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
他们把人的规条当作道理去教导人, 所以拜我也是徒然. ’

7:8 Abandoning the commandment of God, you hold fast to the tradition of men.”
你们拘守着人的传统, 却离弃了神的诫命. ”

7:9 And he said to them, “You splendidly ignore the commandment of God so that you can keep your tradition.
耶稣又对他们说: “你们为了坚守自己的传统, 而巧妙地把神的诫命拒绝了.

7:10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother must certainly die.’
因为摩西说: ‘当孝敬父母’, 又说: ‘咒骂父母的, 必被处死. ’

7:11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or to his mother, “Whatever benefit you would have received from me is corban” (that is, a gift to God),
你们倒说: ‘人对父母说, 我应该给你的供奉, 已经作了各耳板’(各耳板意思是奉给神的供物),

7:12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother,
你们就不让那人再为父母作什么.

7:13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down, and you do many similar things such as this.”
这样, 你们借着所领受的传统, 把神的话废弃了. 你们还作了许多这一类的事. ”

7:14 And summoning the crowd again, he said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
于是耶稣又把群众叫过来, 对他们说: “你们大家都要听我说, 也要明白:

7:15 There is nothing outside of a person that is able to defile him by going into him. But the things that go out of a person are the things that defile a person.”
从外面进去的, 不能使人污秽, 从里面出来的, 才能使人污秽. ”

7:16
(有些抄本有第16节: “有耳可听的, 就应该听. ”)

7:17 And when he entered into the house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
耶稣离开群众, 进了屋子, 门徒就来问他这比喻的意思.

7:18 And he said to them, “So are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that everything that is outside that goes into a person is not able to defile him?
他对他们说: “连你们也是这样不明白吗? 难道不知道从外面进去的, 不能使人污秽吗?

7:19 For it does not enter into his heart but into his stomach, and goes out into the latrine”—thus declaring all foods clean.
因为不是进到他的心, 而是进到他的肚腹, 再排泄到外面去. ”(他这样说是表示各样食物都是洁净的. )

7:20 And he said, “What comes out of a person, that defiles a person.
接着他又说: “从人里面出来的, 才会使人污秽.

7:21 For from within, from the heart of people, come evil plans, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,
因为从里面, 就是从人的心里, 发出恶念,淫乱,偷盗,凶杀,

7:22 adulteries, acts of greed, malicious deeds, deceit, licentiousness, envy, abusive speech, pride, foolishness.
奸淫,贪心,邪恶,诡诈,放荡,嫉妒,毁谤,骄傲,愚妄;

7:23 All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
这一切恶事, 是从人里面出来的, 都能使人污秽. ”

7:24 And from there he set out and went to the region of Tyre. And when he entered into a house, he wanted no one to know, and yet he was not able to escape notice.
耶稣从那里动身到推罗(有些抄本在此有“和西顿”)境内去. 进了一所房子, 本来不想让人知道, 却隐藏不住.

7:25 But immediately a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, when she heard about him, came and fell down at his feet,
有一个女人, 她的小女儿被污灵附着, 她听见了耶稣的事, 就来俯伏在他脚前.

7:26 Now the woman was a Greek—a Syrophoenician by nationality—and she was asking him that he would expel the demon from her daughter.
这女人是外族人, 属于叙利亚的腓尼基族. 她求耶稣把鬼从她女儿身上赶出去.

7:27 And he said to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs!”
耶稣对她说: “应该先让儿女吃饱. 拿儿女的饼去丢给小狗吃是不好的. ”

7:28 But she answered and said to him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
那女人回答他: “主啊, 是的, 不过小狗在桌子底下, 也可以吃孩子们掉下来的碎渣. ”

7:29 And he said to her, “Because of this statement, go! The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
耶稣对她说: “就凭这句话, 你回去吧, 鬼已经从你女儿身上出去了. ”

7:30 And when she went to her home, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.
她回到家里, 看见小孩子躺在床上, 鬼已经出去了.

7:31 And again he went away from the region of Tyre and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of the Decapolis.
耶稣从推罗境内出去, 经过西顿, 回到低加波利地区的加利利海.

7:32 And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they were imploring him that he would place his hand on him.
有人带着一个又聋又哑的人到他那里, 求耶稣按手在他身上.

7:33 And he took him away from the crowd by himself and put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting, he touched his tongue.
耶稣把他从人群中带到一边, 用指头探他的耳朵, 吐唾沫抹他的舌头,

7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”).
然后望着天, 长长地叹了一口气, 对他说: “以法大! ”意思是“开了吧”.

7:35 And his ears were opened and his difficulty in speaking was removed and he began to speak normally.
那人的耳朵就开了, 舌头也松了, 说话也准确了.

7:36 And he ordered them that they should say nothing, but as much as he ordered them not to, they proclaimed it even more instead.
耶稣嘱咐他们不要告诉人. 但他越是嘱咐, 他们却越发传扬.

7:37 And they were amazed beyond all measure, saying, “He has done all things well! He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
众人非常惊讶说: “他所作的一切事都好极了; 他竟然使聋子听见, 又使哑巴说话. ”

Mark - Chapter 8

8:1 In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,
那些日子, 又有一大群人聚集, 他们没有什么东西吃. 耶稣叫门徒来, 对他们说:

8:2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat.
“我怜悯这一群人, 因为他们和我在一起已经有三天, 没有什么吃的了.

8:3 And if I send them away hungry to their homes they will give out on the way, and some of them have come from far away.”
如果我叫他们散开, 饿着肚子回家去, 他们会在路上晕倒, 因为有人是从很远的地方来的. ”

8:4 And his disciples answered him, “Where is anyone able to feed these people with bread here in the desert?”
门徒回答: “在这旷野地方, 从哪里能找食物叫这些人吃饱呢? ”

8:5 And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” So they said, “Seven.”
他问他们: “你们有多少饼? ”他们说: “七个. ”

8:6 And he commanded the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, after he had given thanks he broke them and began giving them to his disciples so that they could set them before them. And they set them before the crowd.
耶稣吩咐群众坐在地上; 拿起那七个饼, 祝谢了, 擘开递给门徒, 叫他们摆开; 门徒就摆在众人面前,

8:7 And they had a few small fish, and after giving thanks for them, he said to set these before them also.
他们还有几条小鱼, 耶稣祝了福, 就吩咐把这些也摆开.

8:8 And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets full.
众人都吃了, 并吃饱了. 他们把剩下的零碎收拾起来, 装满了七个大篮子.

8:9 Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.
当时人数约有四千. 耶稣解散了群众,

8:10 And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
就立刻和门徒上了船, 来到大玛努他地区.

8:11 And the Pharisees came and began to argue with him, demanding from him a sign from heaven in order to test him.
法利赛人出来, 跟耶稣辩论; 他们想试探他, 求他显个从天上来的神迹.

8:12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation!”
耶稣灵里深深地叹息, 说: “这世代为什么总是寻求神迹? 我实在告诉你们, 决不会有神迹显给这个世代的! ”

8:13 And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
于是他离开他们, 又上船往对岸去了.

8:14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and except for one loaf, they did not have any with them in the boat.
门徒忘了带饼, 船上除了一个饼, 身边没有别的了.

8:15 And he ordered them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod!”
耶稣嘱咐他们说: “你们要小心, 提防法利赛人的酵和希律的酵! ”

8:16 And they began to discuss with one another that they had no bread.
门徒彼此议论说: “这是因为我们没有饼吧? ”

8:17 And knowing this, he said to them, “Why are you discussing that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?
耶稣知道了, 就说: “为什么议论没有饼这件事呢? 你们还不知道, 还不明白吗? 你们的心还是这么迟钝吗?

8:18 Although you have eyes, do you not see? And although you have ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
你们有眼不能看, 有耳不能听吗? 你们不记得吗?

8:19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
我擘开那五个饼给五千人吃, 你们收拾的零碎装满了几个篮子呢? ”他们说: “十二个. ”

8:20 “When I also broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”
“那七个饼分给四千人吃, 你们收拾的零碎装满了几个大篮子呢? ”他们说: “七个. ”

8:21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”
耶稣说: “你们还不明白吗? ”

8:22 And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought to him a blind man and implored him that he would touch him.
后来他们到了伯赛大, 有人带了一个瞎眼的人到他跟前, 求耶稣摸他.

8:23 And he took hold of the blind man’s hand and led him outside the village, and after spitting in his eyes, he placed his hands on him and asked him, “Do you see anything?”
耶稣拉着他的手, 领他到村外, 吐唾沫在他的眼睛上, 又用双手按在他的身上, 问他: “你看见什么没有? ”

8:24 And looking up he said, “I see people, for I see them like trees walking around.”
他往上一看, 说: “我看见人了! 看见他们好像树走来走去. ”

8:25 Then he placed his hands on his eyes again, and he opened his eyes and was cured, and could see everything clearly.
于是耶稣再按手在他的眼睛上, 他定睛一看, 就复原了, 样样都看得清楚了.

8:26 And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.”
耶稣叫他回家去, 说: “连这村子你也不要进去. ”

8:27 And Jesus and his disciples went out to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?”
耶稣和门徒出去, 要到该撒利亚．腓立比附近的村庄. 在路上他问门徒说: “人说我是谁? ”

8:28 And they told him, saying, “John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets.”
他们回答: “有人说是施洗的约翰; 有人说是以利亚; 还有人说是先知里的一位. ”

8:29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to him, “You are the Christ!”
他又问他们说: “那么你们呢? 你们说我是谁? ”彼得回答: “你就是基督. ”

8:30 And he warned them that they should tell no one about him.
耶稣郑重地嘱咐他们, 不要把他的事告诉人.

8:31 And he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise.
于是他教导他们, 人子必须受许多苦, 被长老,祭司长和经学家弃绝,杀害, 三天后复活.

8:32 And he was speaking openly about the subject, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
耶稣坦白地说了这话, 彼得就把他拉到一边, 责怪他.

8:33 But turning around and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan, because you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of people!”
耶稣转过身来, 望着门徒, 斥责彼得说: “撒但, 退到我后面去! 因为你不思念神的事, 只思念人的事. ”

8:34 And summoning the crowd together with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
于是把众人和门徒都叫过来, 对他们说: “如果有人愿意跟从我, 就应当舍己, 背起他的十字架来跟从我.

8:35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me and of the gospel will save it.
凡是想救自己生命的, 必丧掉生命; 但为我和福音牺牲生命的, 必救了生命.

8:36 For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
人就是赚得全世界, 却赔上自己的生命, 有什么好处呢?

8:37 For what can a person give in exchange for his life?
人还能用什么换回自己的生命呢?

8:38 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
在淫乱罪恶的世代, 凡把我和我的道当作可耻的, 人子在他父的荣耀里, 和圣天使一起降临的时候, 也必把他当作可耻的. ”

Mark - Chapter 9

9:1 And he said to them, “Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”
耶稣又对他们说: “我实在告诉你们, 站在这里的, 有人在没有尝过死味以前, 必定看见神的国带着能力降临. ”

9:2 And after six days, Jesus took along Peter and James and John, and led them to a high mountain by themselves alone. And he was transfigured before them,
过了六天, 耶稣带着彼得,雅各,约翰, 领他们悄悄地上了高山, 在他们面前改变了形象.

9:3 and his clothing became radiant—extremely white, like no cloth refiner on earth can make so white.
他的衣服闪耀发光, 极其洁白, 地上漂布的没有能漂得这样白的.

9:4 And Elijah appeared to them together with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
又有以利亚和摩西向他们显现, 并且跟耶稣谈话.

9:5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
彼得对耶稣说: “拉比, 我们在这里真好! 我们可以搭三个帐棚, 一个为你, 一个为摩西, 一个为以利亚. ”

9:6 (For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.)
彼得不知道该说什么才好, 因为他们都非常害怕.

9:7 And a cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
有一片云彩来, 笼罩他们, 又有声音从云中出来: “这是我的爱子, 你们要听他. ”

9:8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus alone.
门徒立刻周围观看, 再也看不见别的人, 只见耶稣单独和他们在一起.

9:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one the things that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
他们下山的时候, 耶稣吩咐他们, 人子从死人中复活之前, 不要把所看见的告诉人.

9:10 And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead meant.
门徒把这句话记在心里, 又彼此讨论从死人中复活是什么意思.

9:11 And they asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
他们就问耶稣: “经学家为什么说以利亚必须先来呢? ”

9:12 And he said to them, “Elijah indeed does come first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
耶稣说: “以利亚固然要先来复兴一切, 但圣经为什么又记载人子要受许多苦, 被人藐视呢?

9:13 But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”
其实我告诉你们, 以利亚已经来了, 他们却任意待他, 正如经上指着他所说的. ”

9:14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them.
他们回到门徒那里, 看见一大群人围着他们, 又有经学家和他们辩论.

9:15 And immediately the whole crowd, when they saw him, were amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.
众人看见了耶稣, 都很惊奇, 就跑上前去向他问安.

9:16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”
他问他们: “你们和他们辩论什么? ”

9:17 And one individual from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought to you my son who has a spirit that makes him mute.
群众当中有一个回答他: “老师, 我把我的儿子带到你这里来, 他被哑巴鬼附着.

9:18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able to do so.
无论在哪里, 鬼抓住他, 把他摔倒, 他就口吐白沫, 咬牙切齿, 浑身僵硬. 我请你的门徒把鬼赶出去, 他们却办不到. ”

9:19 And he answered them and said, “O unbelieving generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me!”
耶稣回答他们: “唉! 不信的世代啊! 我跟你们在一起到几时呢? 我要忍受你们到几时呢? 把他带到我这里来吧. ”

9:20 And they brought him to him. And when he saw him, the spirit immediately convulsed him, and falling on the ground, he began to roll around, foaming at the mouth.
他们就把孩子带到他跟前. 那鬼一见耶稣, 就立刻使孩子抽了一阵疯, 倒在地上, 流着唾沫打滚.

9:21 And he asked his father how long it was since this had been happening to him. And he said, “From childhood.
耶稣问他父亲: “这事临到他有多久了? ”他说: “从小就是这样.

9:22 And often it has thrown him both into fire and into water, in order that it could destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have compassion on us and help us!”
鬼常常把他扔在火里水中, 要毁灭他. 如果你能作什么, 求你可怜我们, 帮助我们. ”

9:23 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able! All things are possible for the one who believes!”
耶稣对他说: “‘如果你能’(“如果你能”有些抄本作“你若能信”)──对于信的人, 什么都能! ”

9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
孩子的父亲立刻喊着说: “我信! 但我的信心不够, 求你帮助我. ”

9:25 Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more!”
耶稣看见群众围拢了来, 就斥责那污鬼说: “聋哑的鬼, 我吩咐你从他身上出来, 不要再进去. ”

9:26 And it came out, screaming and convulsing him greatly, and he became as if he were dead, so that most of them said, “He has died!”
那鬼大声喊叫, 使孩子重重地抽了一阵疯, 就出来了. 孩子好像死了一样, 所以许多人都说: “他死了! ”

9:27 But Jesus took hold of his hand and raised him up, and he stood up.
但耶稣拉着他的手, 扶他起来, 他就站起来了.

9:28 And after he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to expel it?”
耶稣进了屋子, 门徒私下问他说: “为什么我们不能把那污鬼赶出去呢? ”

9:29 And he said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer.”
耶稣对他们说: “这一类的鬼, 非用祷告是赶不出去的. ”

9:30 And from there they went out and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,
他们从那里出去, 经过加利利, 耶稣不想让人知道,

9:31 for he was teaching his disciples and was telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
因为他正在教导门徒. 他又对他们说: “人子将要被交在人的手里, 他们要杀害他, 死后三天他要复活. ”

9:32 But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
门徒不明白这话, 又不敢问他.

9:33 And they came to Capernaum. And after he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
他们来到迦百农. 在屋里的时候, 耶稣问他们: “你们在路上争论什么? ”

9:34 But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way about who was greatest.
门徒一声不响, 因为他们在路上彼此争论谁为大.

9:35 And he sat down and called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.”
耶稣坐下, 叫十二门徒来, 对他们说: “谁想为首, 就该作众人中最末的一个, 作众人的仆人. ”

9:36 And he took a young child and had him stand among them. And taking him in his arms, he said to them,
于是拉过一个小孩子来, 叫他站在门徒中间, 又把他抱起来, 对他们说:

9:37 “Whoever welcomes one of the young children such as these in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me.”
“凡因我的名接待一个这样的小孩子的, 就是接待我; 凡接待我的, 不是接待我, 而是接待那差我来的. ”

9:38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.”
约翰对耶稣说: “老师, 我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼, 就禁止他, 因为他不跟从我们. ”

9:39 But Jesus said, “Do not prevent him, because there is no one who does a miracle in my name and will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.
耶稣说: “不要禁止他, 因为没有人能奉我的名行了神迹, 又立刻毁谤我.

9:40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
不反对我们的, 就是赞成我们的.

9:41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you that he will never lose his reward.
无论谁因你们有属基督的名分, 给你们一杯水喝的, 我实在告诉你们, 他决不会失掉赏赐.

9:42 “And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it is better for him if instead a large millstone is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea.
“如果有人使一个信我的小弟兄犯罪, 倒不如在他的颈项上拴一块大磨石投在海里.

9:43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than, having two hands, to go into hell—into the unquenchable fire!
如果你的一只手使你犯罪, 就把它砍下来. 你身体残废进永生, 总比有两只手下到地狱, 进入那不灭的火里好得多.

9:44
(有些抄本有第44节: “在那里虫是不死的, 火是不灭的. ”)

9:45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life lame than, having two feet, to be thrown into hell!
如果你的一只脚使你犯罪, 就把它砍下来. 你瘸腿进永生, 总比你有两只脚而被丢在地狱里好得多.

9:46
(有些抄本有第46节: “在那里虫是不死的, 火是不灭的. ”)

9:47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell,
如果你的一只眼睛使你犯罪, 就把它挖出来. 你只有一只眼睛进神的国, 总比你有两只眼睛而被丢在地狱里好得多,

9:48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not extinguished.’
在那里虫是不死的, 火是不灭的.

9:49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
每一个人必被火当盐来腌. (有些抄本在此有“各祭物必用盐来腌”一句; 也有些抄本只有附注的一句, 而没有正文的一句)

9:50 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes deprived of its salt content, by what can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
盐是好的, 但如果失了味, 可以用什么使它再咸呢? 你们自己里面应当有盐, 彼此和睦. ”

Mark - Chapter 10

10:1 And from there he set out and came to the region of Judea and the other side of the Jordan, and again crowds came together to him. And again, as he was accustomed to do, he began to teach them.
耶稣从那里动身, 来到约旦河东的犹太境内. 许多人又聚集到他那里, 他像平常一样教导他们.

10:2 And they asked him if it was permitted for a man to divorce his wife, in order to test him.
有法利赛人前来试探耶稣, 问他: “丈夫可以休妻吗? ”

10:3 And he answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
耶稣回答: “摩西吩咐你们的是什么呢? ”

10:4 So they said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.”
他们说: “摩西准许‘人写了休书就可以休妻’. ”

10:5 But Jesus said to them, “He wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
耶稣说: “因为你们的心硬, 摩西才写这条例给你们.

10:6 But from the beginning of creation ‘he made them male and female.
但从起初创造的时候, 神是‘造男造女’.

10:7 Because of this a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife,
‘因此人要离开父母, 与妻子连合,

10:8 and the two will become one flesh,’ so that they are no longer two but one flesh.
二人成为一体了. ’这样, 他们不再是两个人, 而是一体的了.

10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
所以神所配合的, 人不可分开. ”

10:10 And in the house again the disciples began to ask him about this.
回到屋子里, 门徒再提起这件事来问他.

10:11 And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
他对他们说: “谁休妻另娶, 谁就是犯奸淫, 得罪了妻子.

10:12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
如果妻子弃夫另嫁, 也是犯了奸淫. ”

10:13 And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
有人带着小孩子到耶稣跟前, 要他抚摩他们; 门徒却责备那些人.

10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant, and said to them, “Let the young children come to me. Do not forbid them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
耶稣看见了就生气, 对门徒说: “让小孩子到我这里来, 不要禁止他们, 因为神的国是属于这样的人的.

10:15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”
我实在告诉你们, 凡是不像小孩子一样接受神的国的, 绝对不能进去. ”

10:16 And after taking them into his arms, he blessed them, placing his hands on them.
于是耶稣把小孩子抱起来, 为他们按手祝福.

10:17 And as he was setting out on his way, one individual ran up and knelt down before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?”
耶稣又开始他的行程. 那时, 有一个人跑过来, 跪在他面前, 问他说: “良善的老师, 我当作什么, 才可以承受永生? ”

10:18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
耶稣对他说: “你为什么称我是良善的? 除了神一位以外, 没有良善的.

10:19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’ ”
诫命你是知道的: 不可杀人, 不可奸淫, 不可偷盗, 不可作假证供, 不可欺诈, 当孝敬父母. ”

10:20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.”
他对耶稣说: “老师, 这一切我从小都遵守了. ”

10:21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all that you have, and give the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
耶稣看着他, 就爱他, 对他说: “你还缺少一件: 去变卖你所有的, 分给穷人, 就必定有财宝在天上, 而且你要来跟从我. ”

10:22 But he looked gloomy at the statement and went away sorrowful, because he had many possessions.
那人听见这话, 就变了脸色, 忧忧愁愁地走了, 因为他的财产很多.

10:23 And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!”
耶稣周围观看, 对门徒说: “富有的人要进神的国, 是多么难哪! ”

10:24 And the disciples were astounded at his words. But Jesus answered and said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God!
门徒都希奇他的话, 耶稣又对他们说: “孩子们哪, (有些抄本在此有“倚靠钱财的人”一句)要进神的国, 是多么困难!

10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”
骆驼穿过针眼, 比有钱的人进神的国还容易呢! ”

10:26 And they were very astounded, saying to one another, “And who can be saved?”
门徒就更加惊奇, 彼此说: “这样, 谁可以得救呢? ”

10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With human beings it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
耶稣看着他们, 说: “在人不能, 在神却不然, 因为在神凡事都能. ”

10:28 Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you.”
彼得对他说: “你看, 我们已经舍弃了一切, 而且来跟从你了. ”

10:29 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields on account of me and on account of the gospel
耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 人为着我和福音舍弃了房屋,弟兄,姊妹,母亲,父亲,儿女,田地,

10:30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, together with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
没有不在今生得百倍──就是房屋,弟兄,姊妹,母亲,儿女,田地, 同时要受迫害──在来世还要得永生.

10:31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
然而许多在前的将要在后, 在后的将要在前. ”

10:32 Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following him were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:
在上耶路撒冷的路途中, 耶稣走在前面, 门徒希奇, 跟从的人也害怕. 耶稣又把十二门徒带到一边, 把自己将要遭遇的事告诉他们,

10:33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles.
说: “我们现在上耶路撒冷去, 人子要被交给祭司长和经学家, 他们要定他的罪, 并且把他交给外族人.

10:34 And they will mock him and spit on him and flog him and kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
他们要凌辱他, 向他吐唾沫, 鞭打他, 杀害他, 三天以后, 他要复活. ”

10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.”
西庇太的儿子雅各,约翰, 来到耶稣跟前, 对他说: “老师, 我们无论向你求什么, 愿你为我们作成. ”

10:36 And he said to them, “What do you want that I do for you?”
耶稣说: “要我为你们作什么? ”

10:37 So they said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your glory.”
他们说: “在你的荣耀里, 让我们一个坐在你的右边, 一个坐在你的左边. ”

10:38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
耶稣说: “你们不知道你们求的是什么. 我喝的杯, 你们能喝吗? 我受的洗, 你们能受吗? ”

10:39 And they said to him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,
他们说: “能. ”耶稣说: “我喝的杯, 你们固然要喝; 我受的洗, 你们也要受.

10:40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
只是坐在我的左右, 不是我可以赐的, 而是神预备赐给谁, 就赐给谁. ”

10:41 And when they heard this, the ten began to be indignant about James and John.
其他十个门徒听见了, 就向雅各,约翰生气.

10:42 And Jesus called them to himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their people in high positions exercise authority over them.
耶稣把他们叫过来, 对他们说: “你们知道各国都有被尊为元首的统治他们, 也有官长管辖他们.

10:43 But it is not like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
但你们中间却不要这样; 谁想在你们中间为大的, 就要作你们的仆役,

10:44 and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be the slave of all.
谁想在你们中间为首的, 就要作大家的奴仆.

10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
因为人子来, 不是要受人服事, 而是要服事人, 并且要舍命, 作许多人的赎价. ”

10:46 And they came to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho along with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.
他们进了耶利哥. 耶稣,门徒和一大群人从耶利哥出来的时候, 有一个瞎眼的人, 是底买的儿子, 名叫巴底买, 坐在路旁讨饭.

10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
他听见是拿撒勒人耶稣, 就喊叫, 说: “大卫的子孙耶稣啊, 可怜我吧! ”

10:48 And many people warned him that he should be quiet. But he was crying out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
许多人斥责他, 叫他不要出声; 他却更加放声喊叫: “大卫的子孙啊, 可怜我吧! ”

10:49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.”
耶稣就站住, 说: “把他叫过来. ”他们就叫那瞎眼的人, 对他说: “放心吧, 起来, 他叫你了. ”

10:50 And he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
他就丢下衣服, 跳起来, 走到耶稣那里.

10:51 And Jesus answered him and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may regain my sight.”
耶稣对他说: “你要我为你作什么呢? ”瞎眼的人对他说: “拉波尼, 我要能看见. ”

10:52 And Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow him on the road.
耶稣说: “去吧, 你的信使你痊愈了. ”他立刻看见了, 就在路上跟随耶稣.

Mark - Chapter 11

11:1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
他们走近耶路撒冷, 到了伯法其和伯大尼, 来到橄榄山那里, 耶稣派了两个门徒,

11:2 and said to them, “Go into the village before you, and right away as you enter into it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.
对他们说: “你们往对面的村子里去, 一进去, 就会看见一头小驴拴在那里, 是没有人骑过的, 把它解开牵来.

11:3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say ‘The Lord has need of it, and will send it here again at once.’ ”
如果有人问你们: ‘为什么这样作? ’你们就说: ‘主需要它, 并且很快会送还到这里来. ’”

11:4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it.
门徒去了, 就发现一头小驴, 拴在门外的街上, 就把它解开.

11:5 And some of those who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
站在那里的人有的问他们说: “你们为什么解它? ”

11:6 So they told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them to take it.
门徒照着耶稣所说的话回答他们, 那些人就让他们牵走了.

11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and he sat on it.
门徒把小驴牵到耶稣那里, 把自己的衣服搭在上面, 耶稣就骑了上去.

11:8 And many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches they had cut from the fields.
许多人把衣服铺在路上, 还有人从田野里砍了些树枝也铺在路上.

11:9 And those who went ahead and those who were following were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
前行后随的人都喊着说: “‘和散那’, 奉主名来的是应当称颂的!

11:10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
那将要来临的, 我们祖先大卫的国是应当称颂的! 高天之上当唱‘和散那’! ”

11:11 And he went into Jerusalem to the temple, and after looking around at everything, because the hour was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
耶稣到了耶路撒冷, 进入圣殿, 察看了一切, 因为时候已经不早, 就和十二门徒出城往伯大尼去.

11:12 And on the next day as they were departing from Bethany, he was hungry.
第二天他们从伯大尼出来, 耶稣饿了.

11:13 And when he saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if perhaps he would find anything on it. And when he came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
他远远看见一棵长满了叶子的无花果树, 就走过去, 看看是否可以在树上找到什么. 到了树下, 除了叶子什么也找不着, 因为这不是收无花果的时候.

11:14 And he responded and said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you any more forever!” And his disciples heard it.
耶稣对树说: “永远再没有人吃你的果子了! ”他的门徒也听见了.

11:15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple courts, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.
他们来到耶路撒冷. 耶稣进了圣殿, 就把殿里作买卖的人赶走, 又推倒找换银钱的人的桌子, 和卖鸽子的人的凳子;

11:16 And he did not permit anyone to carry objects through the temple courts.
不许人拿着器皿穿过圣殿.

11:17 And he began to teach and was saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
他又教训众人说: “经上不是写着‘我的殿要称为万国祷告的殿’吗? 你们竟把它弄成贼窝了. ”

11:18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.
祭司长和经学家听见了, 就想办法怎样除掉耶稣, 却又怕他, 因为群众都希奇他的教训.

11:19 And when evening came they went out of the city.
到了晚上, 他们就到城外去.

11:20 And as they passed by early in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
早晨, 他们经过的时候, 看见那棵无花果树连根都枯萎了.

11:21 And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
彼得想起来就对耶稣说: “拉比, 请看, 你所咒诅的无花果树, 已经枯萎了. ”

11:22 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God!
耶稣回答他们: “你们对神要有信心(“你们对神要有信心”有些抄本作“如果你们对神有信心”).

11:23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
我实在告诉你们, 无论什么人对这座山说‘移开, 投到海里’, 只要他心里不怀疑, 相信他所说的一定能够成就, 就必给他成就.

11:24 For this reason I say to you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be done for you.
所以我告诉你们, 凡是你们祷告祈求的, 只要相信能够得到, 就必得到.

11:25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your sins.”
你们站着祷告的时候, 如果有谁得罪了你们, 就该饶恕他, 好使你们的天父也饶恕你们的过犯. ”

11:26
(有些抄本有第26节: “如果你们不饶恕人, 你们的天父也必不饶恕你们的过犯. ”)

11:27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came up to him
他们又来到耶路撒冷. 耶稣在殿里行走的时候, 祭司长,经学家和长老来到他跟前,

11:28 and said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority that you do these things?”
问他: “你凭什么权柄作这些事? 谁给你权柄作这些事? ”

11:29 So Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
耶稣对他们说: “我要问你们一句话, 你们回答了我, 我就告诉你们我凭什么权柄作这些事.

11:30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer me!”
约翰的洗礼是从天上来的, 还是从人来的呢? 你们回答我吧. ”

11:31 And they began to discuss this with one another, saying, “What should we say? If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
他们就彼此议论: “如果我们说‘是从天上来的’, 他就会说‘那你们为什么不信他呢? ’

11:32 But if we say, ‘From men’ ”—they were afraid of the crowd, because they all looked upon John as truly a prophet.
如果我们说‘是从人来的’......”他们害怕群众, 因为众人都认为约翰的确是先知.

11:33 And they replied to Jesus saying, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
于是他们回答耶稣: “我们不知道. ”耶稣对他们说: “我也不告诉你们我凭什么权柄作这些事. ”

Mark - Chapter 12

12:1 And he began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
耶稣又用比喻对他们说: “有一个人栽种了一个葡萄园, 四面围上篱笆, 挖了一个压酒池, 盖了一座瞭望台, 然后租给佃户, 就远行去了.

12:2 And he sent a slave to the tenant farmers at the proper time, so that he could collect some of the fruit of the vineyard from the tenant farmers.
到了时候, 园主派了一个仆人到佃户那里, 向佃户收取葡萄园一部分的果子.

12:3 And they seized him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
佃户抓住他, 打了他, 放他空手回去.

12:4 And again he sent to them another slave, and that one they struck on the head and dishonored.
园主再派另外一个仆人到他们那里, 他们打伤了他的头, 并且侮辱他.

12:5 And he sent another, and that one they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they beat and some of whom they killed.
园主又派另一个去, 他们就把他杀了. 后来又派去许多仆人, 有的给他们打了, 有的给他们杀了.

12:6 He had one more, a beloved son. Last of all he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
还有一个, 就是园主的爱子, 最后园主派他到那里去, 说: ‘他们必尊敬我的儿子. ’

12:7 But those tenant farmers said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours!’
那些佃户却彼此说: ‘这是继承产业的; 来, 我们杀了他, 产业就是我们的了. ’

12:8 And they seized and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
于是抓住他, 把他杀了, 扔在葡萄园外.

12:9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others.
这样, 葡萄园的主人要怎么办呢? 他要来除掉那些佃户, 把葡萄园租给别人.

12:10 Have you not read this scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone.
你们没有念过这段圣经吗: ‘建筑工人所弃的石头, 成了房角的主要石头;

12:11 This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
这是主所作的, 在我们眼中看为希奇. ’”

12:12 And they were seeking to arrest him, and they were afraid of the crowd, because they knew that he had told the parable with reference to them. And they left him and went away.
他们知道他这比喻是针对他们说的, 就想要捉拿他, 但因为害怕群众, 只好离开他走了.

12:13 And they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him so that they could catch him unawares in a statement.
后来, 他们派了几个法利赛人和希律党的人到耶稣那里去, 要找他的把柄来陷害他.

12:14 And when they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and you do not care what anyone thinks, because you do not regard the opinion of people but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?”
他们来到了, 就对他说: “老师, 我们知道你为人诚实, 不顾忌任何人, 因为你不徇情面, 只照着真理把神的道教导人. 请问纳税给凯撒可以不可以? 我们该纳不该纳呢? ”

12:15 But because he knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at it!”
耶稣看出他们的假意, 就对他们说: “你们为什么试探我呢? 拿一个银币来给我, 让我看看. ”

12:16 So they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” And they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
他们就拿来了. 耶稣问他们: “这是谁的像, 谁的名号? ”他们回答他: “凯撒的. ”

12:17 And Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!” And they were utterly amazed at him.
耶稣说: “凯撒的应当归给凯撒, 神的应当归给神. ”他们就对他十分惊奇.

12:18 And Sadducees—who say there is no resurrection—came up to him and began to ask him, saying,
撒都该人向来认为没有复活的事, 他们来到耶稣那里, 问他:

12:19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone’s brother dies and he leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and father descendants for his brother.
“老师, 摩西曾写给我们说: ‘如果一个人死了, 留下妻子, 没有儿女, 他的弟弟就应当娶他的妻子, 为哥哥立后. ’

12:20 There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And when he died, he did not leave descendants.
从前有兄弟七人, 头一个娶了妻子, 死了, 没有留下孩子;

12:21 And the second took her, and he died without leaving descendants. And the third likewise.
第二个娶了她, 也没有留下孩子, 就死了; 第三个也是这样.

12:22 And the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman also died.
那七个人都没有留下孩子, 最后那女人也死了.

12:23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.
到了复活的时候, 他们都要复活, 她是哪一个的妻子呢? 因为七个人都娶过她. ”

12:24 Jesus said to them, “Are you not deceived because of this, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?
耶稣对他们说: “你们错了, 不正是因为你们不明白圣经, 也不晓得神的能力吗?

12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
因为人从死里复活以后, 也不娶, 也不嫁, 而是像天上的天使一样.

12:26 Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses in the passage about the bush how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?
关于死人复活的事, 摩西的经卷中荆棘篇上, 神怎样对他说: ‘我是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神’, 你们没有念过吗?

12:27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are very much mistaken!”
他不是死人的神, 而是活人的神. 你们是大错特错了! ”

12:28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them debating. When he saw that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
有一个经学家, 听到他们的辩论, 觉得耶稣回答得好, 就来问他: “诫命中哪一条是第一重要的呢? ”

12:29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
耶稣回答: “第一重要的是: ‘以色列啊, 你要听! 主我们的神是独一的主.

12:30 And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.’
你要全心,全性,全意,全力, 爱主你的神. ’

12:31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
其次是: ‘要爱人如己. ’再没有别的诫命比这两条更重要的了. ”

12:32 And the scribe said to him, “That is true, Teacher. You have said correctly that he is one and there is no other except him.
那经学家对耶稣说: “老师, 是的, 你说的很对, 神是独一的, 除了他以外再没有别的神.

12:33 And to love him from your whole heart and from your whole understanding and from your whole strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
我们要用全心,全意,全力去爱他, 并且要爱人如己, 这就比一切燔祭和各样祭物好得多了. ”

12:34 And Jesus, when he saw that he had answered thoughtfully, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to put a question to him any longer.
耶稣见他回答得有智慧, 就对他说: “你距离神的国不远了. ”从此再也没有人敢问他了.

12:35 And continuing, Jesus said while teaching in the temple courts, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is David’s son?
耶稣在殿里教训人, 说: “经学家怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢?

12:36 David himself said by the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’
大卫自己被圣灵感动却说: ‘主对我的主说: 你坐在我的右边, 等我把你的仇敌放在你的脚下(有些抄本作“等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳”). ’

12:37 David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.
大卫自己既然称他为主, 他又怎么会是大卫的子孙呢? ”群众都喜欢听他.

12:38 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and greetings in the marketplaces
耶稣教导人的时候, 说: “你们要提防经学家, 他们喜欢穿长袍走来走去, 喜欢人在市中心向他们问安,

12:39 and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets,
又喜欢会堂里的高位, 筵席上的首座.

12:40 who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy prayers for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!”
他们吞没了寡妇的房产, 又假装作冗长的祷告. 这些人必受更重的刑罚. ”

12:41 And he sat down opposite the contribution box and was observing how the crowd was putting coins into the contribution box. And many rich people were putting in many coins.
耶稣面对银库坐着, 看着大家怎样把钱投入库中. 许多有钱的人投入很多的钱.

12:42 And one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins (that is, a penny).
后来, 有一个穷寡妇来投入了两个小钱, 就是一个铜钱.

12:43 And summoning his disciples, he said to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all those who put offerings into the contribution box.
耶稣把门徒叫过来, 对他们说: “我实在告诉你们, 这穷寡妇投入库里的, 比众人投的更多.

12:44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in everything she had, her whole means of subsistence.”
因为他们都是把自己剩余的投入, 这寡妇是自己不足, 却把她一切所有的, 就是全部养生的, 都投进去了. ”

Mark - Chapter 13

13:1 And as he was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look! What great stones and what wonderful buildings!”
耶稣从殿里出来的时候, 有一个门徒对他说: “老师, 请看, 这是多么美好的石头! 多么美好的建筑! ”

13:2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
耶稣对他说: “你看见这些伟大的建筑吗? 将来必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面, 每一块都要拆下来. ”

13:3 And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
耶稣在橄榄山上, 面对圣殿坐着, 彼得,雅各,约翰和安得烈私下问他:

13:4 “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”
“请告诉我们, 什么时候会有这些事呢? 这一切事将要成就的时候有什么预兆呢? ”

13:5 So Jesus began to say to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you!
耶稣就告诉他们说: “你们要小心, 不要被人迷惑.

耶稣回来, 看见门徒睡着了, 就对彼得说: “西门, 你睡觉吗? 你连一个小时也不能警醒吗?

大祭司站起来, 走到中间, 问耶稣: “这些人作证控告你的是什么呢? 你怎么不回答呢? ”

14:61 But he was silent and did not reply anything. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
耶稣却不作声, 什么也不回答. 大祭司又问他: “你是那受称颂者的儿子基督吗? ”

于是有些人就向他吐唾沫, 蒙住他的脸. 用拳头打他, 对他说: “你说预言吧! ”差役把他拉去, 用手掌打他.

彼得却否认说: “我不知道, 也不明白你在说什么! ”他就走出去, 到了前院, 鸡就叫了(有些抄本无“鸡就叫了”一句).

那婢女看见他, 又对站在旁边的人说: “这个人也是他们一伙的. ”

彼得还是不承认. 过了一会, 站在旁边的人也对彼得说: “你真是他们一伙的, 因为你也是加利利人. ”

彼得就发咒起誓说: “我不认得你们说的这个人! ”

14:72 And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the statement, how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times,” and throwing himself down, he began to weep.
立刻鸡就叫了第二遍. 彼得想起耶稣对他说过的话: “鸡叫两遍以前, 你要三次不认我. ”他一想起来, 就哭了(“他一想起来, 就哭了”或译: “他就夺步而出, 痛哭起来”).

15:32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe! Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.
以色列的王基督啊, 现在可以从十字架上下来, 让我们看见就信吧. ”那和他同钉十字架的人也侮辱他.

从正午到下午三点钟, 遍地都黑暗了.

15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which is translated, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)
下午三点的时候, 耶稣大声呼号: “以罗伊, 以罗伊, 拉马撒巴各大尼? ”这句话译出来就是: “我的神, 我的神, 你为什么离弃我? ”

15:35 And some of the bystanders, when they heard it, said, “Behold, he is summoning Elijah!”
有些站在旁边的人听见了就说: “看, 他呼叫以利亚呢. ”

15:36 And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Leave him alone! Let us see if Elijah is coming to take him down.”
有一个人跑去拿海绵浸满了酸酒, 绑在芦苇上, 递给他喝, 说: “等一等, 我们看看以利亚来不来救他. ”

15:37 But Jesus uttered a loud cry and expired.
耶稣大叫一声, 气就断了.

15:38 And the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

15:39 And when the centurion who was standing opposite him saw that he expired like this, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”
站在他对面的百夫长, 看见他这样断气, 就说: “这人真是神的儿子! ”

15:40 And there were also women observing from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses, and Salome,
也有些妇女远远地观看, 她们之中有抹大拉的马利亚, 小雅各和约西的母亲马利亚, 以及撒罗米.

15:41 who used to follow him and serve him when he was in Galilee, and many other women who went up with him to Jerusalem.
这些妇女, 当耶稣在加利利的时候, 就一直跟随他,服事他. 此外, 还有许多和他一同上耶路撒冷的妇女.

15:42 And when it was already evening, since it was the day of preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
到了晚上, 因为是预备日, 就是安息日的前一日,

15:43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the council who was also himself looking forward to the kingdom of God, came acting courageously and went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
一个一向等候神国度的尊贵的议员, 亚利马太的约瑟来了, 就放胆地进去见彼拉多, 求领耶稣的身体.

约瑟买了细麻布, 把耶稣取下, 用细麻布裹好, 安放在一个从磐石凿出来的坟墓里, 又辊过一块石头来挡住墓门.

过了安息日, 抹大拉的马利亚,雅各的母亲马利亚和撒罗米, 买了香膏, 要去膏耶稣.

16:4 And when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away (for it was very large).

16:5 And as they were going into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
她们进了坟墓, 看见一位身穿白袍的青年, 坐在右边, 就非常惊恐.

16:6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified. He has been raised, he is not here! See the place where they laid him!
那青年对她们说: “不要惊慌! 你们寻找那钉十字架的拿撒勒人耶稣, 他不在这里, 已经复活了; 请看他们安放他的地方.

16:7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.”
你们去告诉他的门徒和彼得: 他要比你们先到加利利去, 你们在那里必定看见他, 正如他从前告诉你们的. ”

16:8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, because trembling and amazement had seized them. And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. 〚So they promptly reported all the things they had been commanded to those around Peter. And after these things, Jesus himself also sent out through them from the east even as far as the west the holy and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.〛 〚
因为惊恐战栗, 她们一从坟墓出来就逃跑; 由于害怕, 她们什么也没有告诉人. (有些抄本无第9至20节)

16:9 Now early on the first day of the week, after he rose, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had expelled seven demons.
礼拜日的清早, 耶稣复活了, 先向抹大拉的马利亚显现, 耶稣曾经从她身上赶出七个鬼.

16:11 And those, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, refused to believe it.
他们听见耶稣活了, 又被马利亚看见了, 却不相信.

16:12 And after these things, he appeared in a different form to two of them as they were walking, while they were going out into the countryside.
这事以后, 门徒中有两个人往乡下去, 正走路的时候, 耶稣用另外的形象, 向他们显现,

16:13 And these went and reported it to the others, and they did not believe them.
他们就去告诉其他的人, 那些人也不相信.

16:14 And later, while they were reclining at table, he appeared to the eleven. And he reprimanded their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had been raised.
后来, 十一个门徒吃饭的时候, 耶稣向他们显现, 责备他们的不信和心硬, 因为他们不信那些在他复活以后见过他的人.

16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
他又对他们说: “你们到全世界去, 向所有的人传福音.

16:16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who refuses to believe will be condemned.
信而受洗的必定得救, 不信的必被定罪.

16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will expel demons, they will speak in new tongues,
信的人必有神迹随着他们, 就是奉我的名赶鬼, 用新方言说话,

16:18 they will pick up snakes. And if they drink any deadly poison it will never hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will get well.”
用手握蛇, 喝了什么毒物也不受害, 手按病人就必好了. ”

16:19 Then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
主耶稣向门徒讲完了话, 就被接到天上, 坐在神的右边.

16:20 And they went out and proclaimed everywhere, while the Lord was working together with them and confirming the message through the accompanying signs.〛
门徒出去, 到处传扬福音, 主和他们同工, 借着相随的神迹, 证实所传的道. (有少数抄本有〔较短的结语〕: 9“那些妇女把耶稣所吩咐的一切都告诉彼得和他的同伴. 10这些事以后, 耶稣借着他们亲自把那神圣不朽,永远救恩的信息从东到西传扬出去. 阿们. ”放在第8节之后; 另有少数抄本把它放在第20节之后. )

Luke (路加福音)

Luke - Chapter 1

1:1 Since many have attempted to compile an account concerning the events that have been fulfilled among us,
尊敬的提阿非罗先生, 因为有许多人, 已经把在我们中间成就了的事,

1:2 just as those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning passed on to us,
按照起初亲眼看见的传道人所传给我们的, 编著成书;

1:3 it seemed best to me also—because I have followed all things carefully from the beginning—to write them down in orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus,
我已经把这些事从头考查过, 认为也应该按着次序写给你,

1:4 so that you may know the certainty concerning the things about which you were taught.
让你晓得所学到的道理, 都是确实的.

1:5 It happened that in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, Zechariah by name, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
犹太王希律在位的日子, 亚比雅班里有一个祭司, 名叫撒迦利亚, 他妻子是亚伦的后代, 名叫以利沙伯.

1:6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, living blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
他们在神面前都是义人, 遵行主的一切诫命规条, 无可指摘,

1:7 And they did not have a child, because Elizabeth was barren. And they were both advanced in years.
只是没有孩子, 因为以利沙伯不生育, 二人又都上了年纪.

1:8 And it happened that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,
有一次, 撒迦利亚在神面前按着班次执行祭司的职务,

1:9 according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
照祭司的惯例抽中了签, 进入主的圣殿烧香.

1:10 And the whole crowd of the people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.
烧香的时候, 众人都在外面祈祷.

1:11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
有主的使者站在香坛右边, 向他显现.

1:12 And Zechariah was terrified when he saw the angel, and fear fell upon him.
撒迦利亚一见就惊慌起来, 十分害怕.

1:13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name John.
天使说: “撒迦利亚, 不要怕, 因为你的祈求已蒙垂听, 你妻子以利沙伯要给你生一个儿子, 你要给他起名叫约翰.

1:14 And you will experience joy and exultation, and many will rejoice at his birth.
你必欢喜快乐, 许多人因他出生, 也必喜乐.

1:15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he must never drink wine or beer, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while he is still in his mother’s womb.
他在主面前要被尊为大, 淡酒浓酒都不喝, 未出母腹就被圣灵充满.

1:16 And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.

1:17 And he will go on before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to prepare for the Lord a people made ready.”
他必有以利亚的灵和能力, 行在主的前面, 叫父亲的心转向儿女, 叫悖逆的转向义人的意念, 为主安排那预备好了的人民. ”

1:18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “By what will I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years!”
撒迦利亚对天使说: “我怎么能知道这事呢? 我已经老了, 我妻子也上了年纪. ”

1:19 And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to announce to you this good news.
天使回答: “我是站在神面前的加百列, 奉差遣向你说话, 报给你这好消息.

1:20 And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”
看吧! 到了时候我的话必要应验; 因为你不信我的话, 你必成为哑巴, 直到这些事成就的那一天, 才能说话. ”

1:21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and began to wonder when he was delayed in the temple.
众人等候撒迦利亚; 因他在圣殿里迟迟不出来, 觉得奇怪.

1:22 And when he came out he was not able to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them, and remained unable to speak.
等到他出来, 却不能讲话, 竟成了哑巴, 不断地向他们打手式, 他们就知道他在圣殿里见了异象.

1:23 And it happened that when the days of his service came to an end, he went away to his home.
供职的日子满了, 他就回家去.

1:24 Now after these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,

1:25 “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days in which he has concerned himself with me, to take away my disgrace among people.”

1:26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee named Nazareth,
到了第六个月, 天使加百列奉神差遣, 往加利利的拿撒勒城去,

1:27 to a virgin legally promised in marriage to a man named Joseph of the house of David. And the name of the virgin was Mary.
到了一个童贞女那里, 她已经和大卫家一个名叫约瑟的人订了婚, 童贞女的名字是马利亚.

1:28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”
天使进去, 对她说: “恭喜! 蒙大恩的女子, 主与你同在! ”

1:29 But she was greatly perplexed at the statement, and was pondering what sort of greeting this might be.
她却因这话惊慌起来, 反复思想这样祝贺是什么意思.

1:30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
天使说: “马利亚, 不要怕! 因你已从神那里蒙了恩.

1:31 And behold, you will conceive in the womb and will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus.
你将怀孕生子, 要给他起名叫耶稣.

1:32 This one will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.
他将要被尊为大, 称为至高者的儿子, 主神要把他祖大卫的王位赐给他,

1:33 And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.
他要作王统治雅各家, 直到永远, 他的国没有穷尽. ”

1:34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I have not had sexual relations with a man?”
马利亚对天使说: “我还没有出嫁, 怎能有这事呢? ”

1:35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the one to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
天使回答: “圣灵要临到你, 至高者的能力要覆庇你, 因此那将要出生的圣者, 必称为神的儿子.

1:36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth—she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.
你看, 你亲戚以利沙伯, 被称为不生育的, 在老年也怀了男胎, 现在已是第六个月了,

1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”
因为在神没有一件事是不可能的. ”

1:38 So Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s female slave! May it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
马利亚说: “我是主的婢女, 愿照你的话成就在我身上! ”天使就离开她去了.

1:39 Now in those days Mary set out and traveled with haste into the hill country, to a town of Judah,
后来, 马利亚就起身, 急忙向山地去, 来到犹大的一座城,

1:40 and entered into the house of Zechariah, and greeted Elizabeth.
进了撒迦利亚的家, 向以利沙伯问安.

1:41 And it happened that when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby in her womb leaped and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
以利沙伯一听见马利亚的问安, 腹中的胎儿就跳动, 以利沙伯也被圣灵充满,

1:42 And she cried out with a loud shout and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
就高声说: “你在女子中是有福的! 你腹中的胎儿也是有福的!

1:43 And why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
我主的母亲竟然到我这里来. 这事怎会临到我呢?

1:44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy!
你看, 你问安的声音一进我的耳朵, 我腹中的胎儿就欢喜跳跃.

1:45 And blessed is she who believed that there will be a fulfillment to what was spoken to her from the Lord!”

1:77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

1:79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.”

Luke - Chapter 2

2:1 Now it happened that in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to register all the empire.

在耶路撒冷有一个人, 名叫西面, 这人公义虔诚, 一向期待以色列的安慰者来到, 又有圣灵在他身上.

2:35 and a sword will pierce your own soul also, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed!”
(你自己的心也会被刀刺透, )这样, 许多人心中的意念就要被揭露出来. ”

2:43 And after the days were completed, while they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. And his parents did not know it,
过完了节, 他们回去的时候, 孩童耶稣仍留在耶路撒冷, 他父母却不知道,

2:44 but believing him to be in the group of travelers, they went a day’s journey. And they began searching for him among their relatives and their acquaintances,
还以为他在同行的人中间. 走了一天, 就在亲戚和熟人中找他,

2:45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

他说: “为什么找我呢? 你们不知道我必须在我父的家里吗? (“在我父的家里吗? ”或译: “以我父的事为念吗? ”)”

但他们不明白他所说的话.

2:51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was submitting to them. And his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

Luke - Chapter 3

3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
凯撒提庇留执政第十五年, 本丢．彼拉多作犹太总督, 希律作加利利的分封王, 他兄弟腓力作以土利亚和特拉可尼地区的分封王, 吕撒尼亚作亚比利尼的分封王,

3:2 in the time of the high priest Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
亚那和该亚法作大祭司的时候, 神的话临到撒迦利亚的儿子, 在旷野的约翰.

3:3 And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
他就来到约旦河一带地方, 宣讲悔改的洗礼, 使罪得赦.

3:4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight!
正如以赛亚先知的书上写着: “在旷野有呼喊者的声音: ‘预备主的道, 修直他的路!

3:5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled, and the crooked will become straight, and the rough road will become smooth,
一切洼谷都当填满, 大小山冈都要削平! 弯弯曲曲的改为正直, 高高低低的修成平坦!

3:6 and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’ ”
所有的人都要看见神的救恩. ’”

3:7 Therefore he was saying to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
约翰对那出来要受他洗礼的群众说: “毒蛇所生的啊, 谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢?

3:8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
应当结出果子来, 与悔改的心相称; 你们心里不要说: ‘我们有亚伯拉罕作我们的祖宗. ’我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起后裔来.

3:9 And even now the ax is positioned at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
现在斧头已经放在树根上, 所有不结好果子的树, 就砍下来, 丢在火里. ”

3:10 And the crowds were asking him, saying, “What then should we do?”
群众问他: “那么, 我们该作什么呢? ”

3:11 And he answered and said to them, “The one who has two tunics must share with the one who does not have one, and the one who has food must do likewise.”
他回答: “有两件衣服的, 当分给那没有的, 有食物的也当照样作. ”

3:12 And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
又有税吏来要受洗, 问他: “老师, 我们当作什么呢? ”

3:13 And he said to them, “Collect no more than what you are ordered to.”
他说: “除了规定的以外, 不可多收. ”

3:14 And those who served in the army were also asking him, saying, “What should we also do?” And he said to them, “Extort from no one, and do not blackmail anyone, and be content with your pay.”
兵丁也问他: “至于我们, 我们又应当作什么呢? ”他说: “不要恐吓, 不要敲诈, 当以自己的粮饷为满足. ”

3:15 And while the people were waiting expectantly and all were pondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he might be the Christ,
那时众人正在期待, 人人心里都在猜想会不会约翰就是基督.

3:16 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but the one who is more powerful than I am is coming, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
约翰对众人说: “我用水给你们施洗, 但那能力比我更大的要来, 我就是给他解鞋带都没有资格. 他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗.

3:17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
他手里拿着簸箕, 要扬净麦场, 把麦子收进仓里, 却用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽. ”

3:18 So with many other exhortations also he proclaimed good news to the people.
他还用许多别的话劝勉众人, 向他们传福音.

3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evil deeds that Herod had done,
分封王希律, 因他弟弟的妻子希罗底, 并因他自己所行的一切恶事, 受到约翰的责备.

3:20 added this also to them all: he also locked up John in prison.
他在这一切事以外, 再加上一件, 就是把约翰关在监里.

3:21 Now it happened that when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he was praying, heaven was opened,
众人受了洗, 耶稣也受了洗. 他正在祷告, 天就开了,

3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
圣灵仿佛鸽子, 有形体地降在他身上; 有声音从天上来, 说: “你是我的爱子, 我喜悦你. ”

3:23 And Jesus, when he began his ministry, was himself about thirty years old, being the son (as it was believed) of Joseph the son of Eli,
耶稣开始传道, 年约三十岁, 人以为他是约瑟的儿子, 约瑟是希里的儿子,

Luke - Chapter 4

4:1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
耶稣被圣灵充满, 从约旦河回来, 圣灵引他到旷野, 四十天受魔鬼的试探.

4:2 forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days, and when they were completed, he was hungry.
那些日子他什么也没有吃, 日子满了他就饿了.

4:3 So the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order this stone that it become bread!”
魔鬼对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 就吩咐这块石头变成食物吧! ”

4:4 And Jesus replied to him, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone.’ ”
耶稣回答: “经上记着: ‘人活着不是单靠食物. ’”

4:5 And he led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
魔鬼引他上到高处, 霎时间把天下万国指给他看,

4:6 And the devil said to him, “I will give you all this domain and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I want.
对他说: “这一切权柄,荣华, 我都可以给你; 因为这些都交给了我, 我愿意给谁就给谁.

4:7 So if you will worship before me, all this will be yours.”
所以, 只要你在我面前拜一拜, 这一切就全是你的了. ”

4:8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’ ”
耶稣回答: “经上记着: ‘当拜主你的神, 单要事奉他. ’”

4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and had him stand on the highest point of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
魔鬼又引他到耶路撒冷, 叫他站在殿顶上, 对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 就从这里跳下去吧!

4:10 for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,’
因为经上记着: ‘他为了你, 会吩咐自己的使者保护你. ’

4:11 and ‘on their hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
又记着: ‘用手托住你, 免得你的脚碰到石头. ’”

4:12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is said, ‘You are not to put to the test the Lord your God.’ ”
耶稣回答: “经上说: ‘不可试探主你的神. ’”

4:13 And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a favorable time.
魔鬼用尽了各种试探, 就暂时离开了耶稣.

4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about him went out throughout all the surrounding region.

4:15 And he began to teach in their synagogues, and was praised by all.

4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and according to his custom he entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath and stood up to read.
耶稣来到拿撒勒自己长大的地方, 照着习惯在安息日进入会堂, 站起来要读经.

4:17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him, and unrolling the scroll he found the place where it was written,
有人把以赛亚先知的书递给他, 他展开书卷找到一处, 上面写着:

4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because of which he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to send out in freedom those who are oppressed,
“主的灵在我身上, 因为他膏我去传福音给贫穷的人, 差遣我去宣告被掳的得释放, 瞎眼的得看见, 受压制的得自由,

4:19 to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
又宣告主悦纳人的禧年. ”

4:20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were looking intently at him.
他把书卷卷好, 交还侍役, 就坐下. 会堂里众人都注视他.

4:21 And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
他就对他们说: “这段经文今天应验在你们中间(“中间”原文作“耳中”)了. ”

4:22 And they were all speaking well of him, and were astonished at the gracious words that were coming out of his mouth. And they were saying, “Is this man not the son of Joseph?”
众人称赞他, 希奇他口中所出的恩言, 并且说: “这不是约瑟的儿子吗? ”

4:23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ Whatever we have heard that took place in Capernaum, do here in your hometown also!”
他说: “你们必向我说这俗语: ‘医生, 治好你自己吧! ’也必说: ‘我们听见你在迦百农所行的一切事, 也该在你本乡这里行啊! ’”

4:24 And he said, “Truly I say to you that no prophet is acceptable in his own hometown.
他又说: “我实在告诉你们, 没有先知在他本乡是受欢迎的.

4:25 But in truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months while a great famine took place over all the land.
我对你们说实话, 当以利亚的时候, 三年六个月不下雨(“不下雨”原文作“天闭塞”), 遍地大起饥荒, 那时以色列中有许多寡妇,

4:26 And Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
以利亚没有奉差遣往他们中间任何一个那里去, 只到西顿撒勒法的一个寡妇那里.

4:27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was made clean except Naaman the Syrian.”
以利沙先知的时候, 以色列中有许多患痲风的人, 其中除了叙利亚的乃缦, 没有一个得洁净的. ”

4:28 And all those in the synagogue were filled with anger when they heard these things.
会堂里的众人听见这话, 都怒气填胸,

4:29 And they stood up and forced him out of the town and brought him up to the edge of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff.
起来赶他出城(这城原来建在山上), 他们拉他到山崖, 要把他推下去.

4:30 But he passed through their midst and went on his way.
耶稣却从他们中间走过, 就离去了.

4:31 And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath.
耶稣下到加利利的迦百农城, 在安息日教导人.

4:32 And they were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.
他们对他的教训都很惊奇, 因为他的话带着权柄.

4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
会堂里有一个被污鬼附着的人, 大声喊叫:

4:34 “Ha! Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
“哎! 拿撒勒人耶稣, 我们跟你有什么关系呢? 你来毁灭我们吗? 我知道你是谁, 你是神的圣者. ”

4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And after throwing him down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all.
耶稣斥责他说: “住口! 从他身上出来! ”鬼把那人摔倒在众人中间, 就从他身上出来了, 没有伤害他.

4:36 And amazement came upon them all, and they began to talk with one another, saying, “What word is this? For he commands the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out!”
众人都惊骇, 彼此谈论说: “这是怎么回事? 他用权柄能力吩咐污灵, 污灵竟出来了. ”

4:37 And news about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
耶稣的名声, 传遍了周围各地.

4:38 And after he set out from the synagogue, he went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a high fever, and they asked him on behalf of her.
他起身离开会堂, 进入西门的家. 西门的岳母正在发高热, 他们为她求耶稣.

4:39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she got up and began to serve them.
耶稣站在她旁边, 斥责那热病, 热就退了; 她立刻起身服事他们.

4:40 Now as the sun was setting, all who had those who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and placing his hands on every one of them, he healed them.
日落的时候, 不论害什么病的人, 都被带到耶稣那里; 他一一为他们按手, 医好他们.

4:41 And demons also were coming out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” And he rebuked them and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
又有鬼从好些人身上出来, 喊着说: “你是神的儿子. ”耶稣斥责他们, 不许他们说话, 因为他们知道他是基督.

4:42 And when it was day, he departed and went to an isolated place. And the crowds were seeking him, and came to him and were trying to prevent him from departing from them.
天一亮, 耶稣出来, 到旷野地方去. 众人寻找他, 一直找到他那里, 要留住他, 不要他离开他们.

4:43 But he said to them, “It is necessary for me to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.
他却说: “我也必须到别的城去传神国的福音, 因为我是为了这缘故奉差遣的. ”

4:44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
于是他往犹太的各会堂去传道.

Luke - Chapter 5

5:1 Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around him and hearing the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,
耶稣站在革尼撒勒湖边, 众人拥挤他, 要听神的道.

5:2 and he saw two boats there beside the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
他看见两只船停在湖边, 渔夫离开船洗网去了.

5:3 And he got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out from the land a little. And he sat down and began to teach the crowds from the boat.
他上了西门的那一只船, 请他撑开, 离岸不远, 就坐下, 从船上教导众人.

5:4 And when he stopped speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
讲完了, 就对西门说: “把船开到水深的地方, 下网打鱼! ”

5:5 And Simon answered and said, “Master, although we worked hard through the whole night, we caught nothing. But at your word I will let down the nets.”
西门说: “主啊, 我们整夜劳苦, 毫无所得, 不过, 我愿照你的话下网. ”

5:6 And when they did this, they caught a very large number of fish, and their nets began to tear.
他们下了网, 就圈住很多鱼, 网几乎裂开,

5:7 And they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink.
就招呼另外那只船上的同伴来帮助, 他们就来把两只船装满, 甚至船要下沉.

5:8 And when he saw it, Simon Peter fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man!”
西门．彼得看见这种情景, 就俯伏在耶稣膝前, 说: “主啊, 离开我, 因为我是个罪人. ”

5:9 For amazement had seized him and all those who were with him at the catch of fish that they had caught,
他和跟他在一起的人, 因这网所打的鱼, 都十分惊骇.

5:10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were business partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! From now on you will be catching people!”
西门的伙伴, 西庇太的儿子雅各,约翰也是这样. 耶稣对西门说: “不要怕! 从今以后, 你要作得人的渔夫了. ”

5:11 And after they brought their boats to the land, they left everything and followed him.
他们把两只船拢了岸, 撇下一切, 跟从了耶稣.

5:12 And it happened that while he was in one of the towns, there was a man covered with leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell down on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
有一次, 耶稣在一个城里, 突然有一个满身痲风的人看见他, 就把脸伏在地上, 求他说: “主啊! 如果你肯, 必能使我洁净. ”

5:13 And extending his hand he touched him, saying, “I am willing; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy went away from him.
耶稣伸手摸他, 说: “我肯, 你洁净了吧! ”痲风立刻离开了他.

5:14 And he ordered him, “Tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and bring the offering for your cleansing just as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
耶稣嘱咐他不可告诉任何人, “你只要去给祭司检查, 并且照着摩西所规定的, 为你得洁净献祭, 好向大家作证. ”

5:15 But the report about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering to hear him and to be healed of their illnesses.
但他的名声却越发传扬出去, 成群的人来聚集, 要听道, 并且要使他们的疾病痊愈.

5:16 But he himself was withdrawing in the wilderness and praying.
耶稣却退到旷野去祷告.

5:17 And it happened that on one of the days as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was there in order for him to heal.
有一天, 耶稣正在教导人, 法利赛人和律法教师也坐在那里, 他们是从加利利和犹太各乡村, 并耶路撒冷来的; 主的能力与他同在, 叫他能医病.

5:18 And behold, men came carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and place him before him.
有人用床抬着一个瘫子, 想送进去, 放在耶稣跟前.

5:19 And when they did not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the roof tiles with the stretcher into the midst of them, in front of Jesus.
因为人多, 没有办法进去, 就上了房顶, 从瓦间把瘫子和床往当中缒下去, 正在耶稣跟前.

5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”
他看见他们的信心, 就说: “朋友(“朋友”原文作“人”), 你的罪赦了. ”

5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?”
经学家和法利赛人就议论起来, 说: “这人是谁, 竟然说僭妄的话? 除神一位以外, 谁能赦罪呢? ”

5:22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
耶稣知道他们的议论, 就对他们说: “你们心里为什么议论呢?

5:23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
说: ‘你的罪赦了’, 或说: ‘起来行走’, 哪一样容易呢?

5:24 But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the one who was paralyzed, “I say to you, ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and go to your home.’ ”
然而为了要你们知道, 人子在地上有赦罪的权柄, (他就对瘫子说: )我吩咐你, 起来, 拿起你的床, 回家去吧. ”

5:25 And immediately he stood up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went away to his home, glorifying God.
那人立刻当众起来, 拿着他躺过的床, 颂赞神, 回家去了.

5:26 And amazement seized them all, and they began to glorify God. And they were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen wonderful things today!”
众人都惊奇, 颂赞神, 并且十分惧怕, 说: “我们今天看见了不平常的事. ”

5:27 And after these things, he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me!”
事后, 耶稣出去, 看见一个税吏, 名叫利未, 坐在税关那里, 就对他说: “来跟从我! ”

5:28 And leaving everything behind, he got up and began to follow him.
他就撇下一切, 起来跟从了耶稣.

5:29 And Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining for the meal with them.
利未在自己家里, 为他大摆筵席, 有许多税吏和别的人一起吃饭.

5:30 And the Pharisees and their scribes began to complain to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
法利赛人和经学家埋怨他的门徒, 说: “你们为什么跟税吏和罪人一起吃喝呢? ”

5:31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.
耶稣回答: “健康的人不需要医生, 有病的人才需要.

5:32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
我来不是要召义人, 而是要召罪人悔改. ”

5:33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and make prayers—likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees—but yours are eating and drinking!”
他们说: “约翰的门徒常常禁食,祈祷, 法利赛人的门徒也是这样, 而你的门徒却又吃又喝. ”

5:34 So he said to them, “You are not able to make the bridegroom’s attendants fast as long as the bridegroom is with them, are you?
耶稣说: “新郎跟宾客在一起的时候, 你们怎么可以叫宾客禁食呢?

5:35 But days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”
但日子到了, 新郎要被取去, 离开他们, 那一天他们就要禁食了. ”

5:36 And he also told a parable to them: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. Otherwise, he will have torn the new also, and the old will not match the patch that is from the new.
他又对他们设个比喻说: “没有人会从新衣服撕下一块布, 补在旧衣服上, 如果这样, 不但新衣服撕破了, 而且新撕下的布, 也和旧的不调和.

5:37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled and the wineskins will be destroyed.
也没有人会把新酒装在旧皮袋里; 如果这样, 新酒就会把皮袋胀破, 不但酒漏掉, 皮袋也损坏了;

5:38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins.
人总是把新酒装在新皮袋里.

5:39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, because he says, ‘The old is just fine!’ ”
喝惯陈酒的人, 就不想喝新酒, 他总说陈的好. ”

Luke - Chapter 6

6:1 Now it happened that on a Sabbath he went through the grain fields, and his disciples were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
有一个安息日, 耶稣从麦田经过, 他的门徒摘了麦穗, 用手搓着吃.

6:2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?
有几个法利赛人说: “你们为什么作安息日不可作的事呢? ”

6:3 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you not read this, what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry—
耶稣回答: “大卫和跟他在一起的人, 在饥饿的时候所作的, 你们没有念过吗?

6:4 how he entered into the house of God and took the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests alone), and ate it and gave it to those with him?”
他不是进了神的殿, 吃了陈设饼, 也给跟他在一起的人吃吗? 这饼除了祭司以外, 别的人是不可以吃的. ”

6:5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
他又对他们说: “人子是安息日的主. ”

6:6 Now it happened that on another Sabbath he entered into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there, and his right hand was withered.
另一个安息日, 耶稣进入会堂教导人, 在那里有一个人, 右手枯干,

6:7 So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find a reason to accuse him.
经学家和法利赛人要看他会不会在安息日治病, 好找把柄控告他.

6:8 But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up and stand in the middle,” and he got up and stood there.
耶稣知道他们的意念, 就对那一只手枯干了的人说: “起来, 站在当中! ”那人就起来站着.

6:9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you whether it is permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?”
耶稣对他们说: “我问你们: 在安息日哪一样是可以作的呢: 作好事还是坏事? 救命还是害命? ”

6:10 And after looking around at them all, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand,” and he did, and his hand was restored.
他环视周围所有的人, 就对那人说: “伸出你的手来! ”他把手一伸, 手就复原了.

6:11 But they were filled with fury, and began discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.
他们却大怒, 彼此商议怎样对付耶稣.

6:12 Now it happened that in these days he went away to the mountain to pray, and was spending the whole night in prayer to God.
在那些日子, 有一次耶稣出去到山上祷告, 整夜祷告神.

6:13 And when day came, he summoned his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles:
天亮以后, 他把门徒叫来, 从他们中间挑选了十二个人, 称他们为使徒,

6:14 Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
就是西门(又给他起名叫彼得), 和他弟弟安得烈, 以及雅各,约翰,腓力,巴多罗迈,

6:15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
马太,多马,亚勒腓的儿子雅各,称为激进派的西门,

6:16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
雅各的儿子犹大, 和出卖主的加略人犹大.

6:17 And he came down with them and stood on a level place, and a large crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all of Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast district of Tyre and Sidon,
耶稣和他们下了山, 站在平地上, 有一大群门徒同他在一起, 又有一大批从犹太全地,耶路撒冷和推罗,西顿海边来的人.

6:18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled by unclean spirits were cured.
他们要听他讲道, 也要他们的疾病得医好. 还有一些被污灵缠扰的也痊愈了.

6:19 And the whole crowd was seeking to touch him, because power was going out from him and healing them all.
群众都设法摸他, 因为有能力从他身上出来, 治好众人.

6:20 And he lifted up his eyes to his disciples and said, “Blessed are the poor, because yours is the kingdom of God.
耶稣抬头看着门徒, 说: “贫穷的人有福了, 因为神的国是你们的.

6:21 Blessed are those who are hungry now, because you will be satisfied. Blessed are those who weep now, Because you will laugh.
饥饿的人有福了, 因为你们要得饱足. 哀哭的人有福了, 因为你们将要喜乐.

6:22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.
世人为人子的缘故憎恨你们,排斥你们,辱骂你们, 弃绝你们的名好像弃绝恶物, 你们就有福了.

6:23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers used to do the same things to the prophets.
那时你们应该欢喜跳跃, 因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的, 他们的祖先对待先知也是这样.

6:24 “But woe to you who are rich, because you have received your comfort.
“然而你们富有的人有祸了, 因为你们已经得了你们的安慰.

6:25 Woe to you who are satisfied now, because you will be hungry. Woe, you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep.
你们饱足的人有祸了, 因为你们将要饥饿. 你们喜乐的人有祸了, 因为你们将要痛哭.

6:26 Woe whenever all people speak well of you, for their fathers used to do the same things to the false prophets.
人都说你们好的时候, 你们就有祸了, 因为你们的祖先对待假先知也是这样.

6:27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
“只是我告诉你们听道的人: 当爱你们的仇敌, 善待恨你们的人.

6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
咒诅你们的, 要为他们祝福, 凌辱你们的, 要为他们祷告.

6:29 To the one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from the one who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic also.
有人打你一边的脸, 把另一边也转给他打; 有人拿你的外衣, 连内衣也让他拿去.

6:30 Give to everyone who asks you, and from the one who takes away your things, do not ask for them back.
向你求的, 就给他; 有人拿去你的东西, 不用再要回来.

6:31 And just as you want people to do to you, do the same to them.
你们愿意人怎样待你们, 你们就应当怎样待人.

6:32 “And if you love those who love you, what kind of credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them!
如果单爱那些爱你们的人, 那有什么好处呢? 罪人也爱那些爱他们的人.

6:33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what kind of credit is that to you? Even the sinners do the same!
如果只善待那些善待你们的人, 那有什么好处呢? 罪人也会这样行.

6:34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive back, what kind of credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may get back an equal amount!
如果借给人, 又指望向人收回, 那有什么好处呢? 罪人也借给罪人, 要如数收回.

6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend expecting back nothing, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
你们要爱仇敌, 善待他们; 借出去, 不要指望偿还; 这样你们的赏赐就大了, 你们也必作至高者的儿子, 因为神自己也宽待忘恩的和恶人.

6:36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful!
你们要仁慈像你们的父仁慈一样.

6:37 “And do not judge, and you will never be judged. And do not condemn, and you will never be condemned. Pardon, and you will be pardoned.
“你们不要判断人, 就必不受判断; 不要定人的罪, 就必不被定罪; 要饶恕人, 就必蒙饶恕;

6:38 Give, and it will be given to you, a good measure—pressed down, shaken, overflowing—they will pour out into your lap. For with the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you in return.”
要给人, 就必有给你们的; 并且要用十足的升斗, 连按带摇, 上尖下流地倒在你们怀里; 因为你们用什么升斗量给人, 就必用什么升斗量给你们. ”

6:39 And he also told them a parable: “Surely a blind person cannot lead the blind, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?
耶稣又用比喻对他们说: “瞎子怎能给瞎子领路呢? 两个人不都要掉在坑里吗?

6:40 A disciple is not superior to his teacher, but everyone, when he is fully trained, will be like his teacher.
学生不能胜过老师, 所有学成的, 不过和老师一样.

6:41 And why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam of wood that is in your own eye?
为什么看得见你弟兄眼中的木屑, 却想不到自己眼中的梁木呢?

6:42 How are you able to say to your brother, “Brother, allow me to remove the speck that is in your eye,” while you yourself do not see the beam of wood in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the beam of wood from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye!
你不看见自己眼中的梁木, 怎能对你弟兄说: ‘弟兄, 容我除去你眼中的木屑’呢? 伪君子啊! 先去掉自己眼中的梁木, 才能看得清楚, 好去掉弟兄眼中的木屑.

6:43 “For there is no good tree that produces bad fruit, nor on the other hand a bad tree that produces good fruit,
“因为好树不能结坏果子, 坏树不能结好果子.

6:44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorn plants, nor are grapes harvested from thorn bushes.
凭着果子就可以认出树来. 人不能从荆棘上采无花果, 也不能从蒺藜里摘葡萄.

6:45 The good person out of the good treasury of his heart brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
良善的人从心中所存的良善发出良善, 邪恶的人从心中所存的邪恶发出邪恶; 因为心中所充满的, 口里就说出来.

6:46 “And why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I tell you?
“你们为什么称呼我‘主啊! 主啊! ’却不遵行我的吩咐呢?

6:47 “Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and does them—I will show you what he is like:
每一个到我跟前, 听我的话并且去行的, 我要指示你们他像什么人.

6:48 he is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the river burst against that house and was not able to shake it, because it had been built well.
他像一个人建造房屋, 挖深了地, 把根基建在磐石上. 大水泛滥的时候, 急流冲击那房屋, 不能使它动摇, 因为它建造得好.

6:49 But the one who hears my words and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, which the river burst against, and immediately it collapsed—and the collapse of that house was great!”
但那听见而不遵行的, 就像人在地上建屋, 没有根基, 急流一冲, 就立刻倒塌, 毁坏得很厉害. ”

Luke - Chapter 7

7:1 After he had finished all his statements in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
耶稣向群众讲完这一切话, 就进了迦百农.

7:2 Now a certain centurion’s slave, who was esteemed by him, was sick and was about to die.
有百夫长所重用的一个奴仆, 病得快要死了.

7:3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come and cure his slave.
百夫长听见耶稣的事, 就打发犹太人中几个长老到他那里, 求他去医治他的奴仆.

7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they began imploring him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy that you grant this for him,
长老们就来见耶稣, 恳切地求他说: “你给他行这事, 是他配得的,

7:5 because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us.”
因为他爱我们的人民, 给我们建造会堂. ”

7:6 So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, and the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof.
耶稣就和他们同去. 离那家不远的时候, 百夫长派几个朋友来说: “主啊, 不必劳驾, 因为你到舍下来, 我实在不敢当,

7:7 For this reason neither did I consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and my slave must be healed.
我也觉得没有资格去见你; 只要你说一句话, 我的仆人就必好了.

7:8 For I also am a man placed under authority, who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
因为我自己是在别人的权下, 也有兵在我以下; 我对这个说: ‘去! ’他就去; 对另一个说: ‘来! ’他就来; 对我的仆人说: ‘作这个! ’他就作. ”

7:9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning around to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
耶稣听见这些话, 就很惊奇, 转身对跟随的众人说: “我告诉你们, 这样的信心, 我在以色列中从来没有见过. ”

7:10 And when they returned to the house, those who had been sent found the slave healthy.
奉派的人回到家里, 见那奴仆已经好了.

7:11 And it happened that on the next day he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.
后来耶稣往拿因城去, 与他同去的有门徒和一大群人.

7:12 And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
他走近城门的时候, 有人把一个死人抬出来, 是个独生子, 他母亲又是个寡妇. 城里有一大群人陪着她.

7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep!”
主看见了, 就怜悯她, 对她说: “不要哭! ”

7:14 And he came up and touched the bier, and those who were carrying it stopped. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
于是上前按着杠子, 抬的人就站住. 他说: “青年人, 我吩咐你起来! ”

7:15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother.
那死人就坐起来, 开口说话, 耶稣就把他交给他母亲.

7:16 And fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us!” and “God has visited to help his people!”
众人都惊惧, 颂赞神说: “有伟大的先知在我们中间兴起来了! ”又说: “神眷顾他的子民了! ”

7:17 And this report about him went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
于是这话传遍了犹太和周围各地.

7:18 And his disciples reported to John about all these things. And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John
约翰的门徒把这一切事告诉约翰. 他就叫了两个门徒,

7:19 sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
差他们往主那里去, 说: “你就是那位要来的, 还是我们要等别人呢? ”

7:20 And when the men came to him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’ ”
两人来到耶稣跟前, 说: “施洗的约翰差我们来问你: ‘你就是那位要来的, 还是我们要等别人呢? ’”

7:21 In that hour he healed many people of diseases and suffering and evil spirits, and he granted sight to many blind people.
就在那时候, 耶稣治好许多患疾病的,遭灾难的,身上有污鬼附着的, 并且施恩给瞎眼的, 使他们看见.

7:22 And he answered and said to them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear; the dead are raised, the poor have good news announced to them.
耶稣回答他们: “你们回去, 把看见和听见的都告诉约翰, 就是瞎的可以看见, 跛的可以走路, 患痲风的得到洁净, 聋的可以听见, 死人复活, 穷人有福音听.

7:23 And whoever is not offended by me is blessed.”
那不被我绊倒的, 就有福了. ”

7:24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
约翰差来的人走了以后, 耶稣对群众讲起约翰来, 说: “你们到旷野去, 是要看什么? 被风吹动的芦苇吗?

7:25 But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and luxury are in the royal palaces.
你们出去到底要看什么? 身穿华丽衣服的人吗? 这些衣服华丽, 生活奢侈的人, 是在王宫里的.

7:26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
那么, 你们出去要看什么? 先知吗? 我告诉你们, 是的. 他比先知重要得多了.

7:27 It is this man about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
圣经所记: ‘看哪, 我差遣我的使者在你面前, 他必在你前头预备你的道路’, 这句话是指着他说的.

7:28 I tell you, there is no one greater among those born of women than John, but the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
我告诉你们, 妇人所生的, 没有一个比约翰更大, 然而在神的国里最小的比他还大. ”

7:29 (And all the people, when they heard this—even the tax collectors—affirmed the righteousness of God, because they had been baptized with the baptism of John,
众人和税吏受过约翰的洗礼, 听见这话, 就称神为义.

7:30 but the Pharisees and the legal experts rejected the purpose of God for themselves, because they had not been baptized by him.)
但法利赛人和律法师, 未受过约翰的洗礼, 就拒绝神对他们的美意.

7:31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?
耶稣又说: “我要把这世代的人比作什么呢? 他们好像什么呢?

7:32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, who say, ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not weep.’
他们好像小孩子坐在巿中心, 彼此呼叫, 说: ‘我们给你们吹笛子, 你们却不跳舞; 我们唱哀歌, 你们也不啼哭. ’

7:33 For John the Baptist has come not eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
因为施洗的约翰来了, 不吃饭, 不喝酒, 你们说他是鬼附的.

7:34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a man who is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
人子来了, 又吃又喝, 你们说: ‘你看, 这人贪食好酒, 与税吏和罪人为友. ’

7:35 And wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
但神的智慧, 借着他的儿女就证实是公义的了. ”

7:36 Now one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he entered into the house of the Pharisee and reclined at the table.
有一个法利赛人, 请耶稣同他吃饭, 他就到法利赛人家去赴席.

7:37 And behold, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she learned that he was dining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of perfumed oil,
那城里有一个女人, 是个罪人, 知道他在法利赛人家里吃饭, 就拿着一瓶香膏,

7:38 and standing behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and was wiping them with the hair of her head and was kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfumed oil.
站在耶稣背后, 挨近他的脚哭, 眼泪滴湿他的脚, 又用自己的头发擦干, 不住地吻他的脚, 并且抹上香膏.

7:39 Now when the Pharisee who invited him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.”
请他的法利赛人看见了, 心里说: “这人若是先知, 必定知道摸他的是谁, 是怎样的女人, 因为她是个罪人! ”

7:40 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Teacher, say it.”
耶稣对他说: “西门, 我有句话要对你说. ”他说: “老师, 请说. ”

7:41 “There were two debtors who owed a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty.
耶稣说: “一个债主有两个债户, 一个欠五百银币, 一个欠五十.

7:42 When they were not able to repay him, he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
他们都无力偿还, 债主就把两人豁免了. 他们之中哪一个更爱他呢? ”

7:43 Simon answered and said, “I suppose that it is the one to whom he forgave more.” And he said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
西门回答: “我想是那个多得恩免的. ”耶稣说: “你判断对了. ”

7:44 And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You did not give me water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
于是转身向着那女人, 对西门说: “你看见这女人吗? 我进了你的家, 你没有给我水洗脚, 但这女人用眼泪湿了我的脚, 用头发擦干.

7:45 You did not give me a kiss, but from the time I entered, she has not stopped kissing my feet.
你没有和我亲嘴; 但这女人, 自从我进来, 就不住地亲我的脚.

7:46 You did not anoint my head with olive oil, but she anointed my feet with perfumed oil.
你没有用油抹我的头; 但这女人用香膏抹我的脚.

7:47 For this reason I tell you, her sins—which were many—have been forgiven, for she loved much. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little.”
所以我告诉你, 她许多罪都蒙赦免了, 因为她的爱多; 那赦免少的, 爱就少. ”

7:48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
耶稣就对她说: “你的罪赦免了. ”

7:49 And those who were reclining at the table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
跟他一起吃饭的人心里说: “这是谁, 竟然赦罪呢? ”

7:50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
耶稣对那女人说: “你的信救了你, 平安地去吧! ”

Luke - Chapter 8

8:1 And it happened that afterward also he was going about from one town and village to another preaching and proclaiming the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with him,
不久, 耶稣周游各城各村讲道, 宣扬神的国的福音, 和他在一起的有十二个门徒,

8:2 and some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out,
还有几个蒙了医治,脱离污鬼与疾病的妇女, 其中有称为抹大拉的马利亚, 曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来;

8:3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod’s household manager), and Susanna, and many others who were helping to support them from their possessions.
有希律的管家古撒的妻子约亚拿, 又有苏珊娜, 和许多别的妇女, 她们都用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒.

8:4 And while a large crowd was gathering and they were going to him from town after town, he spoke by means of a parable:
当时有许多人聚在一起, 还有人从各城来到耶稣那里, 他就用比喻说:

8:5 “The sower went out to sow his seed, and while he was sowing, some seed fell on the side of the path and was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
“有一个撒种的出去撒种, 撒的时候, 有的落在路旁, 被人践踏, 或给空中的小鸟吃掉.

8:6 And other seed fell on the rock, and when it came up, it withered, because it did not have moisture.
有的落在石头地上, 一长出来就枯萎了, 因为得不着滋润.

8:7 And other seed fell in the midst of the thorn plants, and the thorn plants grew up with it and choked it.
有的落在荆棘丛中, 荆棘也一齐生长, 把它挤住了.

8:8 And other seed fell on the good soil, and when it came up, it produced a hundred times as much grain.” As he said these things, he called out, “The one who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
有的落在好土里, 就生长起来, 结出百倍的果实. ”他说了这些话, 就大声说: “有耳可听的, 就应当听! ”

8:9 And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
门徒问他这比喻是什么意思.

8:10 And he said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest they are in parables, so that ‘Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
他说: “神的国的奥秘, 只给你们知道, 对别人就用比喻, 叫他们看却看不见, 听却听不明白.

8:11 Now the parable means this: the seed is the word of God,
“这比喻是说, 种子是神的道,

8:12 and those beside the path are the ones who have heard. Then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
那落在路旁的, 就是人听了, 魔鬼随即来到, 从他们心里把道夺去, 恐怕他们相信就得救了.

8:13 And those on the rock are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, and these do not have enough root, who believe for a time and in a time of testing fall away.
那落在石头地上的, 就是人听了, 欢欢喜喜地接受, 但是没有根, 不过是暂时相信, 一旦遭遇试炼, 就倒退了.

8:14 And the seed that fell into the thorn plants—these are the ones who hear and as they go along are choked by the worries and riches and pleasures of life, and they do not bear fruit to maturity.
那落在荆棘里的, 就是人听了, 走开以后, 被今世的忧虑,财富和宴乐挤住了, 结不出成熟的子粒来.

8:15 But the seed on the good soil—these are the ones who, after hearing the word, hold fast to it with a noble and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
但那落在好土里的, 就是人用诚实良善的心来听, 把道持守住, 忍耐着结出果实.

8:16 “And no one, after lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.
“没有人点灯用器皿盖上, 或放在床底下, 而是放在灯台上, 叫进来的人都看得见光.

8:17 For nothing is secret that will not become evident, and nothing hidden that will never be known and come to light.
因为没有什么隐藏的事不被显明, 也没有什么掩盖的事不被人知道而暴露出来.

8:18 Therefore consider how you listen, for whoever has, to him more will be given, and whoever does not have, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away from him.”
所以你们应当留心怎样听, 因为凡是有的, 还要给他; 凡是没有的, 连他自以为有的, 也要拿去. ”

8:19 Now his mother and brothers came to him, and they were not able to meet with him because of the crowd.
耶稣的母亲和弟弟来到他那里, 因为人多, 不能到他跟前.

8:20 And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside wanting to see you.”
有人转告耶稣: “你母亲和弟弟站在外面要见你. ”

8:21 But he answered and said to them, “These are my mother and my brothers—the ones who hear the word of God and do it.
他回答他们: “听了神的道而遵行的人, 才是我的母亲, 我的弟兄. ”

8:22 Now it happened that on one of the days both he and his disciples got into a boat, and he said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they set sail,
有一天, 耶稣和门徒上了船, 他对他们说: “我们渡到海那边去吧. ”他们就开了船.

8:23 and as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in danger.
船行的时候, 他睡着了. 海上忽然起了狂风, 他们全身湿透, 非常危险.

8:24 And they came and woke him up, saying, “Master, master! We are perishing!” So he got up and rebuked the wind and the billowing waves of water and they ceased, and it became calm.
门徒来叫醒耶稣, 说: “主啊! 主啊! 我们没命了! ”他醒过来, 斥责风浪, 风浪就止息,平静了.

8:25 And he said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and were astonished, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water and they obey him?”
耶稣对他们说: “你们的信心在哪里? ”他们又惧怕,又希奇, 彼此说: “这到底是谁? 他吩咐风浪, 连风浪也听从他. ”

8:26 And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
船到了格拉森人的地区, 正在加利利对面,

8:27 And as he got out on the land, a certain man from the town met him who had demons and for a considerable time had not worn clothes and did not live in a house, but among the tombs.
耶稣一上岸, 就有城里一个被鬼附着的人, 迎面而来. 这人已经很久不穿衣服, 不住在家里, 只住在坟墓里.

8:28 And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!”
他一见耶稣, 就俯伏喊叫, 大声说: “至高神的儿子耶稣, 我跟你有什么关系呢? 求你不要使我受苦. ”

8:29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For it had seized him many times, and he was bound with chains and shackles and was guarded, and breaking the bonds he would be driven by the demon into the deserted places.)
因为耶稣已经吩咐这污灵从那人身上出来. 原来这污灵屡次抓住那人; 那人被铁链和脚链捆锁, 而且有人看管, 他竟挣断锁链, 被鬼赶入旷野.

8:30 So Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
耶稣问他: “你叫什么名字? ”他说: “群. ”因为进到那人里面的鬼很多.

8:31 And they began imploring him that he would not order them to depart into the abyss.
他们求耶稣, 不要赶他们进入无底坑.

8:32 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there on the hill, and they implored him that he would permit them to enter into those pigs. And he permitted them.
那里有一大群猪正在山上吃东西. 他们求耶稣准他们进入猪群. 耶稣准许了,

8:33 So the demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed headlong down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
鬼就从那人身上出来, 进入猪群, 猪群闯下山崖, 掉在海里淹死了.

8:34 And when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
放猪的看见所发生的事就逃跑, 到城里和各乡村把这事传开.

8:35 So they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting there clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.
众人就出来看发生了什么事. 来到耶稣那里, 看见鬼已经离开的那人, 穿着衣服, 神志清醒, 坐在耶稣脚前, 他们就害怕.

8:36 And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.
当时看见的人, 把被鬼附过的人怎样得到医治, 说给他们听.

8:37 And all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, because they had been seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
格拉森一带的人, 都要求耶稣离开他们, 因为他们大大惧怕. 他就上船回去了.

8:38 And the man from who the demons had gone out was begging him to stay with him, but he sent him away, saying,
鬼已经离开的那人求耶稣, 要跟他在一起; 但耶稣打发他回去, 说:

8:39 “Return to your home and tell all that God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
“你回家去, 述说神为你作了怎样的事. ”他就走遍全城, 传讲耶稣为他作了怎样的事.

8:40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.
耶稣回来的时候, 众人欢迎他, 因为大家都在等着他.

8:41 And behold, a man who was named Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus and began imploring him to come to his house,
那时, 有一个人来了, 名叫叶鲁, 他是一位会堂主管. 他俯伏在耶稣脚前, 求他往他家里去,

8:42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him.
因为他的独生女, 约十二岁, 快要死了. 耶稣去的时候, 群众拥挤着他.

8:43 And a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years (who, although she had spent all her assets on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone)
有一个女人, 患了十二年的血漏病, 在医生手里花尽了全部养生的(有些抄本无“在医生手里花尽了全部养生的”一句), 没有一个能医好她.

8:44 came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her hemorrhaging stopped.
她从后面挤来, 一摸耶稣的衣裳繸子, 血就立刻止住.

8:45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched me?” And when they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are pressing you hard and crowding you!”
耶稣说: “摸我的是谁? ”众人都不承认. 彼得说: “主啊, 众人都拥挤着你. ”

8:46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, because I know power has gone out from me.”
耶稣说: “必定有人摸我, 因为我觉得有能力从我身上出去. ”

8:47 And when the woman saw that she did not escape notice, she came trembling and falling down before him. In the presence of all the people, she told for what reason she had touched him, and that she was healed immediately.
那女人见不能隐瞒, 就战战兢兢地过来, 向他俯伏, 把摸他的缘故, 和怎样立刻得到医治, 在众人面前说出来.

8:48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
耶稣对她说: “女儿, 你的信使你痊愈了, 平安地去吧! ”

8:49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead! Trouble the Teacher no longer!”
耶稣还在说话的时候, 有人从会堂主管家里来, 说: “你的女儿死了, 不必再劳动老师了. ”

8:50 But Jesus, when he heard this, replied to him, “Do not be afraid! Only believe, and she will be healed.”
耶稣听见就对他说: “不要怕, 只要信, 她必得痊愈. ”

8:51 Now when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child.
到了那家, 除了彼得,约翰,雅各和女孩的父母以外, 他不准任何人同他进屋里去.

8:52 And they were all weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep! For she is not dead, but is sleeping.”
众人都在痛哭哀号, 他说: “不要哭! 她不是死了, 而是睡着了. ”

8:53 And they began laughing at him, because they knew that she was dead.
他们明知女孩已经死了, 就嘲笑他.

8:54 But he took her hand and called, saying, “Child, get up.”
他进去拉着女孩的手, 叫她说: “孩子, 起来! ”

8:55 And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately, and he ordered something to be given to her to eat.
她的灵魂回来了, 她就立刻起来. 耶稣吩咐给她东西吃.

8:56 And her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.

Luke - Chapter 9

9:1 And summoning the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases,
耶稣召齐十二门徒, 给他们能力,权柄, 制伏一切鬼魔, 医治各样的疾病,

9:2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
差遣他们去宣讲神的国和医治病人,

9:3 And he said to them, “Take along nothing for the journey—neither a staff, nor a traveler’s bag, nor bread, nor money, nor to have two tunics apiece.
对他们说: “不要带着什么上路, 不要带手杖, 不要带口袋, 不要带食物, 不要带银钱, 也不要带两件衣服.

9:4 And into whatever house you enter, stay there and depart from there.
无论进哪一家, 就住在那里, 直到离开.

9:5 And as for all those who do not welcome you—when you depart from that town, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
凡不接待你们的, 你们离开那城的时候, 当把脚上的灰尘跺下去, 作为反对他们的表示. ”

9:6 So they departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
于是他们就出去, 走遍各乡, 传讲福音, 到处医治病人.

9:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised from the dead,
分封王希律听见所发生的一切事, 犹豫不定, 因为有人说: “约翰从死人中复活了. ”

9:8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and others that some prophet of ancient times had risen.
又有人说: “以利亚显现了. ”还有人说: “古时的一位先知复活了. ”

9:9 And Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he was wanting to see him.
希律说: “约翰已经斩头了, 但这是谁, 我怎么会听到他这些事呢? ”就设法要见他.

9:10 And when they returned, the apostles described to him all that they had done. And he took them along and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.
使徒们回来, 把所作的事报告耶稣. 他带着他们, 悄悄地退往伯赛大城去.

9:11 But when the crowds found out, they followed him, and welcoming them, he began to speak to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.
群众知道了, 也跟了去. 他接待他们, 向他们讲论神的国, 医好需要医治的人.

9:12 Now the day began to be far spent, and the twelve came up and said to him, “Send away the crowd so that they can go into the surrounding villages and farms to obtain lodging and find provisions, because we are here in a desolate place.
天将晚的时候, 十二门徒来到他跟前, 说: “请解散众人, 好让他们往周围的田舍村庄, 去找地方住, 找东西吃, 因为我们这里是旷野. ”

9:13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and purchase food for all these people.”
他说: “你们给他们吃吧! ”他们说: “我们所有的, 不过是五个饼两条鱼, 除非去为这些人另买食物. ”

9:14 (For there were about five thousand men.) So he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
原来男人就约有五千. 他对门徒说: “叫他们一组一组地坐下, 每组约五十人. ”

9:15 And they did so, and had them all sit down.
门徒就照他的话, 叫众人坐下.

9:16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them and began giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
耶稣拿起这五个饼, 两条鱼, 望着天, 祝谢了, 擘开递给门徒, 摆在众人面前.

9:17 And they all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up by them—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
他们都吃饱了, 把剩下的零碎拾起来, 装满了十二个篮子.

9:18 And it happened that while he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
有一次耶稣独自祈祷的时候, 只有门徒和他在一起. 他问他们: “人说我是谁? ”

9:19 And they answered and said, “John the Baptist, but others, Elijah, and others, that one of the ancient prophets has risen.”
他们回答: “有人说是施洗的约翰, 有人说是以利亚, 还有人说是古时的一位先知复活了. ”

9:20 And he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
他又问他们: “你们说我是谁? ”彼得回答: “是神的基督! ”

9:21 But he warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,
耶稣郑重地嘱咐他们, 不要把这事告诉人.

9:22 saying, “It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day.
又说: “人子必须受许多苦, 被长老,祭司长, 和经学家弃绝,杀害, 第三日复活. ”

9:23 And he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.
耶稣又对众人说: “如果有人愿意跟从我, 就当舍己, 天天背起他的十字架来跟从我.

9:24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me, this person will save it.
凡是想救自己生命的, 必丧掉生命; 但为我牺牲自己生命的, 必救了生命.

9:25 For what is a person benefited if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
人若赚得全世界, 却丧失自己, 或赔上自己, 有什么好处呢?

9:26 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of this person when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
凡是把我和我的道当作可耻的, 人子在他与父并圣天使的荣耀里降临的时候, 也必把他当作可耻的.

9:27 But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God.”
我实在告诉你们, 站在这里的, 有人在没有尝过死味以前必定要看见神的国. ”

9:28 Now it happened that about eight days after these words, he took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
说了这些话以后约有八天, 耶稣带着彼得,约翰和雅各, 上山去祷告.

9:29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face became different, and his clothing became white, gleaming like lightning.
正祷告的时候, 他的面貌就改变了, 衣服洁白发光.

9:30 And behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
忽然有两个人和他谈话, 就是摩西和以利亚.

9:31 who appeared in glory and were speaking about his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.
他们在荣光里显现, 谈论他去世的事, 就是他在耶路撒冷将要完成的.

9:32 Now Peter and those with him were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
彼得和同伴都在打盹. 醒过来之后, 就看见他的荣光, 并与他站在一起的那两个人.

9:33 And it happened that as they were going away from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he was saying.
二人正要离开他的时候, 彼得对耶稣说: “主啊, 我们在这里真好! 我们可以搭三个帐棚, 一个为你, 一个为摩西, 一个为以利亚. ”他根本不知道自己在说什么.

9:34 And while he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
他说这话的时候, 有一片云彩笼罩他们, 他们入了云彩, 门徒就害怕起来.

9:35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him!”
有声音从云彩里出来, 说: “这是我的儿子, 我所拣选的(“这是我的儿子, 我所拣选的”有些抄本作“这是我的爱子”), 你们要听从他! ”

9:36 And after the voice had occurred, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
声音过了, 只见耶稣独自在那里. 在那些日子, 门徒保持缄默, 不把所看见的告诉任何人.

9:37 Now it happened that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
第二天, 他们下了山, 有一大群人迎面而来.

9:38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look with concern on my son, because he is my only son!
在人群中有一个人喊叫说: “老师, 求你怜悯我的儿子, 因为他是我的独生子.

9:39 And behold, a spirit seizes him and suddenly he screams, and it convulses him with foam and rarely withdraws from him, battering him severely.
你看, 污灵一抓住他, 他就忽然喊叫, 并且抽疯, 口吐白沫; 污灵又折磨糟践他, 不肯放过他.

9:40 And I begged your disciples that they would expel it, and they were not able to do so.”
我求过你的门徒, 把他赶出去, 他们却办不到. ”

9:41 So Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverted generation! How long will I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!”
耶稣说: “唉! 这不信又乖谬的世代啊! 我跟你们在一起, 忍受你们, 要到几时呢? 把你儿子带到这里来吧! ”

9:42 And while he was still approaching, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
那孩子正走过来的时候, 污鬼把他摔倒, 使他重重地抽疯. 耶稣斥责那污灵, 把孩子医好, 交给他父亲.

9:43 And they were all astounded at the impressiveness of God. But while they were all marveling at all the things that he was doing, he said to his disciples,
众人都惊奇神的大能. 众人还在希奇耶稣所作的这一切时, 他对门徒说:

9:44 “You take these words to heart, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
“你们要把这些话存在心里: 人子将要被交在人的手里. ”

9:45 But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they could not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about this statement.
门徒不明白这话, 因为这话的意思是隐藏的, 不让他们明白, 他们也不敢问.

9:46 And an argument developed among them as to who of them might be greatest.
后来, 门徒起了意见, 争论谁是最大的.

9:47 But Jesus, because he knew the thoughts of their hearts, took hold of a child and had him stand beside him
耶稣看出他们的心意, 就领了一个小孩子来, 叫他站在自己旁边,

9:48 and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among you all—this one is great.”
对他们说: “凡因我的名接待这小孩子的, 就是接待我; 凡接待我的, 就是接待那差我来的. 谁是你们中间最小的, 那人就是最大的. ”

9:49 And John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow in company with us.”
约翰说: “主, 我们看见有一个人奉你的名赶鬼, 就禁止他, 因为他不和我们一起跟从你. ”

9:50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not prevent him, because whoever is not against you is for you.”
耶稣说: “不要禁止他, 因为不反对你们的, 就是赞成你们的. ”

9:51 Now it happened that when the days were approaching for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
耶稣被接上升的日子快到了, 他就决意向耶路撒冷去,

9:52 And he sent messengers before him, and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans in order to prepare for him.
并且差遣使者走在前头; 他们去了, 进入撒玛利亚的一个村庄, 要为他预备.

9:53 And they did not welcome him because he was determined to go to Jerusalem.
那里的人不接待他, 因为他面向着耶路撒冷走.

9:54 Now when the disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”
他的门徒雅各,约翰看见了, 就说: “主啊, 你要我们吩咐火从天降下来, 烧灭他们吗? ”

9:55 But he turned around and rebuked them,
耶稣就转过身来, 责备他们,

9:56 and they proceeded to another village.
然后他们就往别的村庄去了.

9:57 And as they were traveling on the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go!”
他们走路的时候, 有一个人对他说: “你无论往哪里去, 我都要跟从你! ”

9:58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
耶稣说: “狐狸有洞, 天空的飞鸟有窝, 人子却没有栖身的地方. ”

9:59 And he said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, first allow me to go and bury my father.”
他对另一个人说: “你跟从我吧! ”那人说: “主啊, 请准我先回去安葬我的父亲吧. ”

9:60 But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead! But you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
耶稣说: “让死人去埋葬他们的死人, 你应该去传扬神的国. ”

9:61 And another person also said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say farewell to those in my house.”
又有一个人说: “主, 我要跟从你, 但容我先回去, 向家人道别. ”

9:62 But Jesus said, “No one who puts his hand on the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God!”
耶稣说: “手扶着犁向后看的, 不适合进神的国. ”

Luke - Chapter 10

10:1 And after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy-two others and sent them out two by two before him into every town and place where he was about to go.
这些事以后, 主又另外指派了七十二个人(“七十二个人”有些抄本作“七十个人”), 差遣他们两个两个地, 在他前面, 到他自己将要到的各城各地去.

10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest.

无论进哪一家, 先说: ‘愿平安归与这家! ’

10:6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him. But if not, it will return to you.
那里若有配得平安的人(“配得平安的人”原文作“平安之子”), 你们的平安就必临到他, 不然, 就归给你们.

10:7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not move from house to house.

我告诉你们, 当那日, 所多玛所受的, 比那城所受的还轻呢.

10:13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!
“哥拉逊啊, 你有祸了! 伯赛大啊, 你有祸了! 因为在你们那里行过的神迹, 如果行在推罗和西顿, 他们早已披麻蒙灰, 坐在地上悔改了.

10:14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and for Sidon in the judgment than for you!
在审判的时候, 推罗和西顿所受的, 比你们所受的还轻呢.

10:15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No! You will be brought down to Hades!
还有你, 迦百农啊! 你会被高举到天上吗? 你必降到阴间.

10:16 The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me. But the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
听从你们的, 就是听从我; 弃绝你们的, 就是弃绝我; 弃绝我的, 就是弃绝那差我来的. ”

10:17 And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
那七十二个人欢欢喜喜地回来, 说: “主啊, 因你的名, 连鬼也服了我们. ”

10:18 So he said to them, “I saw Satan falling like lightning from heaven.
耶稣说: “我看见撒但, 像闪电一样从天坠落.

10:19 Behold, I have given you the authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will ever harm you.
我已经给你们权柄, 去践踏蛇和蝎子, 胜过仇敌的一切能力. 绝对没有什么能伤害你们了.

10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are inscribed in heaven.”
然而不要因为鬼服了你们就欢喜, 却要因为你们的名字记录在天上而欢喜. ”

10:21 At that same time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to young children. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.
就在这时候, 耶稣因圣灵而欢乐, 说: “父啊, 天地的主, 我赞美你, 因为你把这些事向智慧和聪明的人隐藏起来, 却向婴孩显明. 父啊, 是的, 这就是你的美意.

10:22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wants to reveal him.”
我父已经把一切交给我; 除了父没有人知道子是谁, 除了子和子所愿意启示的人, 也没有人知道父是谁. ”

10:23 And turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see!
耶稣转过身来, 悄悄地对门徒说: “看见你们所看见的, 那眼睛有福了!

10:24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”
我告诉你们, 曾经有许多先知和君王, 想看你们所看见的, 却没有看到; 想听你们所听见的, 却没有听到. ”

10:25 And behold, a certain legal expert stood up to test him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?”
有一个律法师起来试探耶稣, 说: “老师, 我应该作什么, 才可以承受永生呢? ”

10:26 And he said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
耶稣对他说: “律法上写的是什么? 你怎么念的呢? ”

10:27 And he answered and said, “You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
他回答: “你要全心,全性,全力,全意爱主你的神, 并且要爱邻舍如同自己. ”

10:28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.”
耶稣说: “你答得对, 你这样行, 就必得生命. ”

10:29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
那人想证明自己有理, 就对耶稣说: “谁是我的邻舍呢? ”

10:30 And Jesus replied and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who both stripped him and beat him. After inflicting blows on him, they went away, leaving him half dead.
耶稣回答: “有一个人从耶路撒冷下耶利哥去, 落在强盗手中. 他们剥去他的衣服, 把他打得半死, 撇下他一个人就走了.

10:31 Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
正好有一个祭司, 从那条路下来, 看见他, 就从旁边走过去了.

10:32 And in the same way also a Levite, when he came down to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side.
又有一个利未人, 来到那里, 看见他, 也照样从旁边走过去了.

10:33 But a certain Samaritan who was traveling came up to him and, when he saw him, had compassion.
只有一个撒玛利亚人, 旅行来到他那里, 看见了, 就动了怜悯的心,

10:34 And he came up and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine, and he put him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处, 包裹好了, 把他扶上自己的牲口, 带他到客店里照顾他.

10:35 And on the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him, and whatever you spend in addition, I will repay to you when I return.
第二天, 他拿出两个银币交给店主, 说: ‘请你照顾他, 额外的开支, 我回来的时候必还给你. ’

10:36 Which of these three do you suppose became a neighbor of the man who fell among the robbers?”
你想, 这三个人, 谁是那个落在强盗手中的人的邻舍呢? ”

10:37 So he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.” And Jesus said to him, “You go and do likewise.”
他说: “是那怜悯他的. ”耶稣说: “你去, 照样作吧. ”

10:38 Now as they traveled along, he entered into a certain village. And a certain woman named Martha welcomed him.
他们走路的时候, 耶稣进了一个村庄. 有一个名叫马大的女人, 接他到家里.

10:39 And she had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus and was listening to his teaching.
她有一个妹妹, 名叫马利亚, 坐在主的脚前听道.

10:40 But Martha was distracted with much preparation, so she approached and said, “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me alone to make preparations? Then tell her that she should help me!”
马大被许多要作的事, 弄得心烦意乱, 就上前来, 说: “主啊, 我妹妹让我一个人侍候, 你不理吗? 请吩咐她来帮助我. ”

10:41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things!
主回答她: “马大, 马大, 你为许多事操心忙碌,

10:42 But few things are necessary, or only one thing, for Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
但是最需要的只有一件, 马利亚已经选择了那上好的分, 是不能从她夺去的. ”

Luke - Chapter 11

11:1 And it happened that while he was in a certain place praying, when he stopped a certain one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
有一天, 耶稣在一个地方祈祷, 祈祷完了, 有一个门徒对他说: “主啊, 求你教导我们祷告, 像约翰教导他的门徒一样. ”

11:2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say, “Father, may your name be treated as holy. May your kingdom come.
耶稣说: “你们祷告的时候, 要说: ‘父啊, 愿你的名被尊为圣, 愿你的国降临(有些抄本在此有“愿你的旨意行在地上, 如同行在天上”一句);

11:3 Give us each day our daily bread.
我们需用的食物, 求你每天赐给我们;

11:4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation.”
赦免我们的罪, 因为我们也饶恕所有亏负我们的人; 不要让我们陷入试探(有些抄本在此有“救我们脱离那恶者”一句). ’”

11:5 And he said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
耶稣又对他们说: “你们当中, 谁有朋友半夜去找他, 说: ‘请你借给我三个饼,

11:6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
因为我有一个朋友旅行来到我这里, 我没有什么可以招待他. ’

11:7 And that one will answer from inside and say, ‘Do not cause me trouble! The door has already been shut and my children are with me in bed! I am not able to get up to give you anything.’
而他却在里面回答: ‘不要麻烦我, 门已经关好了, 孩子也跟我在床上了, 我不能起来拿给你. ’

11:8 I tell you, even if he does not give him anything after he gets up because he is his friend, at any rate because of his impudence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
我告诉你们, 即使不因为他是朋友而起来给他, 也会因为他厚颜地直求, 而起来照他所需要的给他.

11:9 And I tell you, ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened for you.
我又告诉你们, 你们祈求, 就给你们; 寻找, 就寻见; 叩门, 就给你们开门.

11:10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
因为所有祈求的就得着, 寻找的就寻见, 叩门的就给他开门.

11:11 But what father from among you, if his son will ask for a fish, instead of a fish will give him a snake?
你们中间作父亲的, 哪有儿子求鱼, 反拿蛇给他呢?

11:12 Or also, if he will ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
或求鸡蛋, 反给他蝎子呢?

11:13 Therefore if you, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
你们虽然不好, 尚且知道把好东西给自己的儿女, 何况天父, 岂不更把圣灵赐给求他的人吗? ”

11:14 And he was expelling a mute demon. Now it happened that when the demon came out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished.
耶稣赶出一个哑巴鬼, 鬼既出去, 哑巴就说起话来, 众人都希奇.

11:15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul the ruler of demons he expels demons!”
有人说: “他靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼. ”

11:16 And others, in order to test him, were demanding from him a sign from heaven.
又有人试探他, 向他求一个从天上来的神迹.

11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
耶稣知道他们的心意, 就对他们说: “如果一个国家自相纷争, 就必定荒凉; 如果一个家庭自相为敌, 就必然败落.

11:18 So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I expel demons by Beelzebul.
如果撒但自相纷争, 他的国怎能站立得住呢? 你们说我靠别西卜赶鬼,

11:19 But if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel them? For this reason they will be your judges!
我若靠别西卜赶鬼, 你们的子孙赶鬼又靠谁呢? 因此, 他们必要作你们的审判官.

11:20 But if I expel demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you!
我若靠神的能力赶鬼, 这就是神的国临到你们了.

11:21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are safe.
一个壮汉拿着武器, 看守自己的家园, 他的家财就平安无事.

11:22 But when a stronger man attacks him and conquers him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted and distributes his plunder.
但是一个比他更强的人来了, 胜过了他, 夺去他所倚靠的武器, 就把他的家财当作掠物分了.

11:23 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
不站在我这一边的就是反对我的; 不跟从一起收聚的就是分散的.

11:24 “Whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it. It says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
“一个污灵离开了一个人, 走遍干旱之地, 寻找栖身的地方, 却没有找到, 就说: ‘我要回到我从前离开了的那房子. ’

11:25 And when it arrives it finds the house swept and put in order.
到了之后, 看见里面已经打扫干净, 粉饰好了,

11:26 Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first!”
他就去带了另外七个比自己更恶的污灵来, 进去住在那里; 那人后来的情况, 比以前更坏了. ”

11:27 Now it happened that as he said these things, a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”
耶稣正说这些话的时候, 群众中有一个女人高声对他说: “怀你胎的和哺养你的有福了! ”

11:28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it!”
他说: “是的, 却还不如听神的道而遵守的人有福. ”

11:29 And as the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation! It demands a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah!
众人聚集的时候, 耶稣就说: “这世代是个邪恶的世代. 这世代寻求神迹, 可是除了约拿的神迹以外, 再没有神迹给他们了.

11:30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.
约拿怎样成了尼尼微人的神迹, 人子也照样成为这个世代的神迹.

11:31 The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here!
审判的时候, 南方的女王要和这世代的人一同起来, 她要定他们的罪, 因为她从地极来到, 要听所罗门智慧的话. 你看, 这里有一位是比所罗门更大的.

11:32 The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here!
审判的时候, 尼尼微人要和这世代的人一同起来, 他们要定这个世代的罪, 因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了. 你看, 这里有一位是比约拿更大的.

11:33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bushel basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.
“没有人点了灯, 把它放在地窖里, 或量器底下, 却放在灯台上, 叫进来的人看得见光.

11:34 Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is sincere, your whole body is full of light also. But when it is evil, your body is dark also.
你的眼睛就是你身体的灯, 你的眼睛健全, 全身就明亮; 如果不健全, 全身就黑暗.

11:35 Therefore pay careful attention that the light in you is not darkness!
所以要谨慎, 免得你里面的光黑暗了.

11:36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, it will be completely full of light, as when the lamp with its light gives light to you.”
你若全身明亮, 没有一点黑暗, 你就完全明亮, 好像明亮的灯光照你一样. ”

11:37 And as he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to have a meal with him, and he went in and reclined at table.
耶稣说话的时候, 有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他一起吃饭; 他就进去坐席.

11:38 And the Pharisee, when he saw it, was astonished that he did not first wash before the meal.
这个法利赛人见耶稣吃饭之前不洗手, 觉得奇怪.

11:39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inside is full of greediness and wickedness.
主对他说: “你们法利赛人把杯盘的外面洗净, 但你们里面却充满了抢夺和邪恶.

11:40 Fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?
无知的人哪, 那造外面的, 不也造里面吗?

11:41 But give as charitable giving the things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
只要把里面的施舍出去, 你们的一切就都洁净了.

11:42 “But woe to you, Pharisees, because you pay a tenth of mint and rue and every garden herb, and neglect justice and love for God! But it was necessary to do these things without neglecting those things also.
然而你们法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们把薄荷,茴香和各样菜蔬献上十分之一, 却把公义和爱神的事疏忽了; 这些是你们应当作的, 但其他的也不可疏忽.

11:43 Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the best seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces!
你们法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们喜爱会堂里的高位和人在巿中心的问安.

11:44 Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it!
你们有祸了! 因为你们好像不显露的坟墓, 走在上面的人并不知道. ”

11:45 And one of the legal experts answered and said to him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also!”
律法师中有一个回答他: “老师, 你这样说, 把我们也侮辱了! ”

11:46 So he said, “Woe to you also, legal experts, because you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers!
耶稣说: “你们律法师也有祸了, 因为你们把难担的担子叫人担, 自己连一个指头也不动.

11:47 Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them!
你们有祸了! 因为你们修造先知的坟墓, 而那些先知正是你们祖先所杀的,

11:48 As a result you are witnesses, and you approve of the deeds of your fathers, because they killed them and you build their tombs!
这样, 你们就成了证人, 对你们祖先的作为表示同意; 他们杀害先知, 你们修造先知的坟墓.

11:49 For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
所以, 神的智慧说: ‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去, 有的他们要杀害, 有的他们要迫害,

11:50 so that the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
为要使创世以来众先知所流的血, 从亚伯的血起, 直到在祭坛和圣所之间受害的撒迦利亚的血为止, 都向这一代追讨. ’是的, 我告诉你们, 都要向这一代追讨.

11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation!
为要使创世以来众先知所流的血, 从亚伯的血起, 直到在祭坛和圣所之间受害的撒迦利亚的血为止, 都向这一代追讨. ’是的, 我告诉你们, 都要向这一代追讨.

11:52 Woe to you, legal experts, because you have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering!”
你们律法师有祸了! 因为你们拿去知识的钥匙, 自己不进去, 又阻止要进去的人. ”

11:53 And when he departed from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly hostile, and to question him closely about many things,
耶稣从那里出来, 经学家和法利赛人非常敌视他, 质问他很多问题,

11:54 plotting to catch him with reference to something he might say.
等机会从他的口中找把柄.

Luke - Chapter 12

12:1 During this time when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware for yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
那时有成千上万的人聚在一起, 甚至彼此践踏. 耶稣就先对门徒说: “你们要提防法利赛人的酵, 就是虚伪.

12:2 But nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, and secret that will not be made known.
没有什么掩盖的事不被揭露, 也没有什么隐藏的事不被人知道.

12:3 Therefore everything that you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
所以, 你们在暗处所说的, 必在明处被人听见; 在内室附耳所谈的, 必在房顶上宣扬出来.

12:4 “And I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after these things do not have anything more to do.
“我的朋友, 我告诉你们, 那杀身体以后不能再作什么的, 不要怕他们.

12:5 But I will show you whom you should fear: fear the one who has authority, after the killing, to throw you into hell! Yes, I tell you, fear this one!
我要指示你们当怕的是谁: 当怕那杀身体以后, 有权把人投入地狱里的; 我告诉你们, 应当怕他.

12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
五只麻雀, 不是卖两个大钱吗? 但在神面前, 一只也不被忘记.

12:7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered! Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
甚至你们的头发都一一数过了. 不要怕, 你们比许多麻雀贵重得多呢.

12:8 “And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before people, the Son of Man also will acknowledge him before the angels of God,
“我告诉你们, 凡在人面前承认我的, 人子在神的使者面前也承认他;

12:9 but the one who denies me before people will be denied before the angels of God.
在人面前不认我的, 我在神的使者面前也不认他.

12:10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
凡说话得罪人子的, 还可以赦免; 但亵渎圣灵的, 必不得赦免.

12:11 But when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you should speak in your own defense or what you should say,
人把你们拉到会堂,官长和当权者的面前, 你们不要思虑怎样申辩或说什么话.

12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what it is necessary to say.”
到了时候, 圣灵必把当说的话教导你们. ”

12:13 Now someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me!”
群众中有一个人对耶稣说: “老师, 请吩咐我的兄弟和我分家业. ”

12:14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
耶稣说: “你这个人, 谁立我作你们的审判官和分家业的人呢? ”

12:15 And he said to them, “Watch out and guard yourselves from all greediness, because not even when someone has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”
于是他对众人说: “你们要谨慎, 远离一切贪心, 因为人的生命并不在于家道丰富. ”

12:16 And he told a parable to them, saying, “The land of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.
就对他们讲了一个比喻, 说: “有一个富翁的田地丰收.

12:17 And he reasoned to himself, saying, ‘What should I do? For I do not have anywhere I can gather in my crops.’
他自己心里说: ‘怎么办呢? 因为我没有足够的地方收藏出产了! ’

12:18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and I will gather in there all my grain and possessions.
又说: ‘我要这样办: 我要拆掉这些仓房, 建造更大的, 好在那里收藏我的一切粮食和货物.

12:19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many possessions stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, celebrate!” ’
然后, 我要对我的灵魂说: 灵魂啊, 你拥有许多好东西, 足够多年享用, 只管安安逸逸地吃喝快乐吧! ’

12:20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your life is demanded from you, and the things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
神却对他说: ‘无知的人哪, 今天晚上, 你拥有的就要取去你的灵魂, 你所预备的要归给谁呢? ’

12:21 So is the one who stores up treasure for himself, and who is not rich toward God!”
凡为自己积财, 在神面前却不富足的, 也是这样. ”

12:22 And he said to his disciples, “For this reason I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, or for your body, what you will wear.
耶稣又对门徒说: “所以我告诉你们, 不要为生命忧虑吃什么, 也不要为身体忧虑穿什么.

12:23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
因为生命比饮食重要, 身体比衣服重要.

12:24 Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; to them there is neither storeroom nor barn, and God feeds them. How much more are you worth than the birds?
你们想想乌鸦: 它们不种也不收, 无仓又无库, 神尚且养活它们; 你们比飞鸟贵重得多了.

12:25 And which of you by being anxious is able to add an hour to his life span?
你们中间谁能用忧虑使自己的寿命延长一刻呢?

12:26 If then you are not even able to do a very little thing, why are you anxious about the rest?
既然连这极小的事都不能作, 为什么还忧虑其他的事呢?

12:27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not toil or spin, but I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.
你们想想百合花, 怎样不劳苦, 也不纺织. 但我告诉你们, 就是所罗门最荣华的时候所穿的, 也比不上这花中的一朵呢.

12:28 But if God clothes the grass in the field in this way, although it is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he do so for you, you of little faith?
小信的人哪, 田野的草, 今天还在, 明天就投进炉里, 神尚且这样给它装饰, 何况你们呢?

12:29 And you, do not consider what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
你们不要求吃什么, 喝什么, 也不要忧虑,

12:30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need these things.
因为这一切都是世上不信的人所寻求的. 你们的父原知道你们需要这一切.

12:31 But seek his kingdom and these things will be added to you.
你们只管求他的国, 这些东西都必加给你们.

12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
你们这小群, 不要怕, 因为你们的父乐意把国赐给你们.

12:33 Sell your possessions and give charitable gifts. Make for yourselves money bags that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven where thief does not approach or moth destroy.
当变卖你们所有的施舍给人, 为自己制造不朽坏的钱囊, 积蓄用不尽的财宝在天上, 就是贼不能近,虫不能蛀的地方.

12:34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
因为你们的财宝在哪里, 你们的心也在哪里.

12:35 “You must be prepared for action and your lamps burning.
“你们的腰当束起来, 灯也该点着,

12:36 And you, be like people who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that when he comes back and knocks, they can open the door for him immediately.
像等候自己的主人从婚筵回来一样, 好叫你们在主人回来敲门时, 立刻给他开门.

12:37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he returns! Truly I say to you that he will dress himself for service and have them recline at the table and will come by and serve them.
主人来到了, 看见仆人警醒, 这些仆人就有福了. 我实在告诉你们, 主人必亲自束腰, 招待他们吃饭, 进前来侍候他们.

12:38 Even if he should come back in the second or in the third watch of the night and find them like this, blessed are they!
主人也许半夜之前, 或天亮之前回来, 看见他们这样, 这些仆人就有福了.

12:39 But understand this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.
你们都知道, 家主若晓得窃贼什么时候来, 就不会让他摸进屋里.

12:40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think he will come.”
你们也要准备妥当, 因为在想不到的时候, 人子就来了. ”

12:41 And Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us, or also for everyone?”
彼得说: “主啊, 你说这比喻, 是为我们还是为众人呢? ”

12:42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful wise manager whom the master will put in charge over his servants to give them their food allowance at the right time?
主说: “谁是那忠心精明的管家, 被主人指派管理家里的仆人, 按时分粮呢?

12:43 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he comes back.
主人来到的时候, 看见他这样作, 那仆人就有福了.

12:44 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
我实在告诉你们, 主人要指派他管理主人的一切财产.

12:45 But if that slave should say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time to return,’ and he begins to beat the male slaves and the female slaves and to eat and drink and get drunk,
如果那仆人心里说: ‘我的主人不会那么快回来’, 就动手打其他的仆人使女, 并且吃喝醉酒;

12:46 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two and assign his place with the unbelievers.
在他想不到的日子,不知道的时间, 那仆人的主人要来, 严厉地处罚他, 使他和不信的人同在一起.

12:47 And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will will be given a severe beating.
那仆人知道主人的意思, 却不预备, 也不照他的意思行, 必多受责打;

12:48 But the one who did not know and did things deserving blows will be given a light beating. And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him for even more.
但那不知道的, 虽然作了该受责打的事, 也必少受责打. 多给谁就向谁多取, 多托谁就向谁多要.

12:49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish that it had been kindled already!
“我来要把火投在地上, 如果烧了起来, 那是我所愿意的.

12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is accomplished!
我有应当受的洗, 我是多么迫切地期待这事完成.

12:51 Do you think that I have come to grant peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!
你们以为我来是要地上有和平吗? 不是的, 我告诉你们, 是要有纷争.

12:52 For from now on there will be five in one household, divided three against two and two against three.
从今以后, 一家五口将起纷争, 三个反对两个, 两个反对三个.

12:53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
他们将起纷争: 父亲反对儿子, 儿子反对父亲, 母亲反对女儿, 女儿反对母亲, 婆婆反对媳妇, 媳妇反对婆婆. ”

12:54 And he also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud coming up in the west, you say at once, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and so it happens.
耶稣又对众人说: “你们一看见西边有云彩升起来, 就说: ‘要下大雨’, 果然这样;

12:55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be burning heat,’ and it happens.
起了南风, 就说: ‘天要热了’, 也果然这样.

12:56 Hypocrites! You know how to evaluate the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it you do not know how to evaluate this present time?
伪君子啊! 你们知道分辨天地的气象, 怎么不知道分辨这个时代呢?

12:57 And why do you not also judge for yourselves what is right?
“你们为什么自己不能判断什么是对的呢?

12:58 For as you are going with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to come to a settlement with him on the way, so that he will not drag you to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the bailiff, and the bailiff will throw you into prison.
你和你的对头去见官长, 还在路上的时候, 应当尽力向他求和, 免得他把你拉到法官面前, 法官把你交给差役, 差役把你关在监里.

12:59 I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid back even the last cent!”
我告诉你, 除非你还清最后的一个小钱, 否则决不能从那里出来. ”

Luke - Chapter 13

13:1 Now at the same time some had come to tell him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
就在那时候, 有几个在那里的人, 把加利利人的事告诉耶稣, 就是彼拉多把他们的血和他们的祭物搀在一起的事.

13:2 And he answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were sinners worse than all the Galileans, because they suffered these things?
他回答: “你们以为这些加利利人比其他的加利利人更有罪, 才这样受害吗?

13:3 No, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all perish as well!
不是的, 我告诉你们, 你们若不悔改, 都要这样灭亡.

13:4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were sinners worse than all the people who live in Jerusalem?
你们以为从前西罗亚楼倒塌的时候, 压死的那十八个人, 比一切在耶路撒冷的居民更有罪吗?

13:5 No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!”
不是的, 我告诉你们, 你们若不悔改, 也都要这样灭亡. ”

13:6 And he told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.
耶稣讲了这样一个比喻: “有一个人把一棵无花果树栽在自己的葡萄园里. 他来到树那里找果子, 却找不到.

13:7 So he said to the gardener, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find any. Cut it down! Why should it even exhaust the soil?’
他对管园的说: ‘你看, 这三年, 我来到这棵无花果树那里找果子, 却找不到, 把它砍了吧! 何必白占地土呢? ’

13:8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put manure on it.
管园的说: ‘主人, 今年且留着它, 等我把周围的泥土挖松, 加上肥料;

13:9 And if indeed it produces fruit in the coming year, so much the better, but if not, you can cut it down.’ ”
以后结果子就罢, 不然, 再把它砍了. ’”

13:10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
安息日的时候, 耶稣在会堂里教导人.

13:11 And behold, a woman was there who had a spirit that had disabled her for eighteen years, and she was bent over and not able to straighten herself up completely.
有一个女人被邪灵附着, 病了十八年, 弯腰曲背, 完全直不起来.

13:12 And when he saw her, Jesus summoned her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability!”
耶稣看见了, 就叫她过来, 对她说: “妇人, 你脱离这疾病了. ”

13:13 And he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and glorified God.
耶稣用双手按在她身上, 她立刻直起腰来, 颂赞神.

13:14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, answered and said to the crowd, “There are six days on which it is necessary to work. Therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the day of the Sabbath!”
会堂的主管, 因为耶稣在安息日治病, 就气忿忿地对群众说: “有六天是应当作工的, 你们可以在这六天里来求医, 但在安息日却不可以. ”

13:15 But the Lord answered and said to him, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you untie his ox or his donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead it away to water it?
主说: “伪君子啊, 你们哪一个人在安息日, 不从槽那里解开牛,驴, 牵去喝水呢?

13:16 And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound eighteen long years—is it not necessary that she be released from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?”
何况这个女人是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 已经被撒但捆绑了十八年, 不应当在安息日解开她的捆绑吗? ”

13:17 And when he said these things, all those who opposed him were humiliated, and the whole crowd was rejoicing at all the splendid things that were being done by him.
他说完了这些话, 那些与他为敌的人都惭愧; 群众却都因他所行一切荣耀的事欢喜.

13:18 Therefore he said, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
耶稣说: “神的国好像什么呢? 我要把它比作什么呢?

13:19 It is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his own garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”
它好像一粒芥菜种, 人拿去种在自己的园子里. 它长大了, 成为一棵树, 甚至天空的飞鸟也在它的枝头搭窝. ”

13:20 And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
他又说: “我要把神的国比作什么呢?

13:21 It is like yeast that a woman took and hid in three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.”
它好像面酵, 女人拿去放在三斗面里, 直到全团发起来. ”

13:22 And he was going throughout towns and villages, teaching and making his journey toward Jerusalem.
耶稣经过各城各乡, 往耶路撒冷去, 沿途教导人.

13:23 And someone said to him, “Lord, are there only a few who are saved?” And he said to them,
有一个人问他: “主啊, 是不是只有很少的人得救呢? ”他对众人说:

13:24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able to,
“你们应当竭力进窄门! 我告诉你们, 将来许多人要进去, 却是不能.

13:25 when once the master of the house has gotten up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ And he will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from!’
等到家主起来关上门, 你们站在门外叩门说: ‘主啊, 给我们开门! ’他要回答你们: ‘我不知道你们是从哪里来的. ’

13:26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets!’
那时, 你们要说: ‘我们在你面前吃过喝过, 你也在我们街上教导过人. ’

13:27 And he will reply, saying to you, ‘I do not know where you are from! Go away from me, all you evildoers!’
他要说: ‘我告诉你们, 我不晓得你们是从哪里来的; 你们所有作恶的人, 离开我去吧! ’

13:28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside!
当你们看见亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各和众先知都在神的国里的时候, 你们却被赶到外面去, 在那里必要哀哭切齿.

13:29 And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
从东从南, 从西从北, 将有人来, 在神的国里吃饭.

13:30 And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
在后的将要在前, 在前的将要在后. ”

13:31 At that same hour some Pharisees came up and said to him, “Go out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you!”
就在那时候, 有几个法利赛人来对耶稣说: “你离开这里走吧! 因为希律想要杀你. ”

13:32 And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I am expelling demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’
他说: “你们去告诉那个狐狸, 今天明天我赶鬼医病, 第三天我的事就完成了.

13:33 Nevertheless, it is necessary for me to be on the way today and tomorrow and on the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.
然而, 今天明天后天, 我必须前行, 因为先知不能在耶路撒冷以外丧命.

13:34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you were not willing!
耶路撒冷啊, 耶路撒冷, 你杀害先知, 又用石头把奉派到你那里的人打死. 我多次想招聚你的儿女, 好像母鸡招聚小鸡到翅膀底下, 只是你们不愿意.

13:35 Behold, your house has been left to you! And I tell you, you will never see me until the time will come when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
你看, 你们的家必成为荒场留给你们. 我告诉你们, 从今以后, 你们一定见不到我, 直等到你们说: ‘奉主名来的, 是应当称颂的. ’”

Luke - Chapter 14

14:1 And it happened that when he came to the house of a certain one of the leaders of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat a meal, they were watching him closely.
在安息日, 耶稣进了一个法利赛人领袖的家里吃饭, 众人都在窥探他.

14:2 And behold, a certain man was in front of him, suffering from edema.
正好在他面前有一个患水臌病的人;

14:3 And Jesus answered and said to the legal experts and Pharisees, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”
耶稣对律法师和法利赛人说: “在安息日治病, 可以不可以呢? ”

14:4 But they remained silent. And he took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away.
他们却不出声. 耶稣扶着病人, 治好他, 叫他走了,

14:5 And he said to them, “Who among you, if your son or your ox falls into a well on the day of the Sabbath, will not immediately pull him out?”
就对他们说: “你们中间谁的儿子或牛在安息日掉在井里, 不立刻把他拉上来呢? ”

14:6 And they were not able to make a reply to these things.
他们不能回答这些话.

14:7 Now he told a parable to those who had been invited when he noticed how they were choosing for themselves the places of honor, saying to them,
耶稣看见被邀请的客人选择高位, 就用比喻对他们说:

14:8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline at the table in the place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you has been invited by him,
“你被邀请参加婚筵的时候, 不要自己坐在高位上, 恐怕有比你更尊贵的客人也被请来;

14:9 and the one who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give the place to this person,’ and then with shame you will begin to take the last place.
那请你又请他的人过来对你说: ‘请你让位给这个人. ’那时你就惭愧地退居末位了.

14:10 But when you are invited, go and recline at the table in the last place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then it will be an honor to you in the presence of all those who are reclining at the table with you.
你被邀请的时候, 要坐在末位上, 等请你的人过来对你说: ‘朋友, 请上座. ’那时你在同席的人面前才有光彩.

14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
因为凡高抬自己的, 必要降卑; 自己谦卑的, 必要升高. ”

14:12 And he also said to the one who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or wealthy neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment come to you.
耶稣又对邀请他的人说: “你设午餐或晚宴, 不要请你的朋友,弟兄,亲戚或富裕的邻舍, 恐怕他又回请你, 你就得了报答.

14:13 But whenever you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
你摆筵席的时候, 总要邀请那贫穷的,残废的,瘸腿的,瞎眼的,

14:14 and you will be blessed, because they are not able to repay you. For it will be paid back to you at the resurrection of the righteous.”
那你就有福了. 因为他们没有什么可以报答你, 义人复活的时候, 你必定得着报答. ”

14:15 Now when one of those reclining at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”
一起吃饭的人中有一个, 听了这些话, 就对耶稣说: “在神的国里吃饭的人有福了. ”

14:16 But he said to him, “A certain man was giving a large banquet and invited many.
耶稣对他说: “有一个人大摆筵席, 请了许多客人.

14:17 And he sent his slave at the hour of the banquet to say to those who have been invited, ‘Come, because now it is ready!’
到了开席的时候, 他打发仆人去对所请的人说: ‘请来吧! 样样都准备好了. ’

14:18 And they all alike began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, ‘I have purchased a field, and I must go out to look at it. I ask you, consider me excused.’
众人一致推辞, 头一个说: ‘我买了一块地, 不得不去看一看, 请原谅我. ’

14:19 And another said, ‘I have purchased five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you, consider me excused.’
另一个说: ‘我买了五对牛, 要去试一试, 请原谅我. ’

14:20 And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and for this reason I am not able to come.’
又一个说: ‘我刚结了婚, 不能去. ’

14:21 And the slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame!’
仆人回来把这些事告诉他主人, 家主就发怒, 对仆人说: ‘快到城里大街小巷去, 把贫穷的,残废的,瞎眼的,瘸腿的, 都领到这里来. ’

14:22 And the slave said, ‘Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
仆人说: ‘主啊, 你所吩咐的已经办了, 还有空位. ’

14:23 And the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges and press them to come in, so that my house will be filled!
主人就对仆人说: ‘你出去到路边篱畔, 勉强人进来, 好把我的屋子坐满.

14:24 For I say to you that none of those persons who were invited will taste my banquet!’ ”
我告诉你们, 先前请的那些人, 一个也不得尝我的筵席. ’”

14:25 Now large crowds were going along with him, and he turned around and said to them,
有许多人与耶稣同行, 他转身对他们说:

14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and furthermore, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
“如果有人到我这里来, 爱我不超过爱(“爱我不超过爱”原文作“不恨”)自己的父母,妻子,儿女,兄弟,姊妹, 甚至自己的性命, 就不能作我的门徒.

14:27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
凡不背着自己的十字架跟随我的, 也不能作我的门徒.

14:28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?
你们当中有谁要盖一座楼, 不先坐下计算费用, 能不能盖成呢?

14:29 Otherwise after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, all who see it will begin to ridicule him,
恐怕安了地基, 而不能完成, 所有看见的人都讥笑他,

14:30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
说: ‘这个人开了工, 却不能完工. ’

14:31 Or what king, going out to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand.
或者一个王去和别的王打仗, 哪有不先坐下想想, 能否用一万兵去抵抗那领两万来攻打他的呢?

14:32 But if not, while the other is still far away, he sends an ambassador and asks for terms of peace.
如果不能, 就该趁对方还远的时候, 派使者去谈判和平的条件.

14:33 In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
这样, 你们中间不论谁, 如果不撇下一切所有的, 就不能作我的门徒.

14:34 “Now salt is good, but if salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be made salty?
“盐本来是好的, 但如果失了味, 怎能使它再咸呢?

14:35 It is usable neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; they throw it out. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
或用在田里, 或放在粪里, 都不合适; 只好扔在外面. 有耳可听的, 就应当听. ”

Luke - Chapter 15

15:1 Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were drawing near to hear him.
众税吏和罪人, 都接近耶稣, 要听他讲道.

15:2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes were complaining, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them!”
法利赛人和经学家, 纷纷议论说: “这个人接待罪人, 又和他们一起吃饭. ”

15:3 So he told them this parable, saying,
耶稣就对他们讲了这个比喻, 说:

15:4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the grassland and go after the one that was lost until he finds it?
“你们中间谁有一百只羊, 失去一只, 不把九十九只留下在旷野, 去寻找那失落的, 直到找着呢?

15:5 And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
既找着了, 就欢欢喜喜地放在肩上,

15:6 And when he returns to his home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
回到家里, 请朋友邻舍来, 对他们说: ‘请大家和我一同欢乐, 因为我失去的羊已经找到了! ’

15:7 I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
我告诉你们, 因为一个罪人悔改, 天上也要这样为他欢乐, 比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢乐更大.

15:8 Or what woman who has ten drachmas, if she loses one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?
“或是一个女人, 有十个银币, 失去一个, 哪能不点上灯, 打扫屋子, 细细地找, 直到找着呢?

15:9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the drachma that I had lost!’
既找着了, 就请朋友邻舍来, 说: ‘请大家和我一同欢乐, 因为我失去的那个银币, 已经找到了. ’

15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
我告诉你们, 因为一个罪人悔改, 神的使者也必这样为他欢乐. ”

15:11 And he said, “A certain man had two sons.
耶稣又说: “某人有两个儿子.

15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that is coming to me.’ So he divided his assets between them.
小儿子对父亲说: ‘爸爸, 请把我应得的家业给我. ’父亲就把财产分给他们两兄弟.

15:13 And after not many days, the younger son gathered everything and went on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth by living wastefully.
过了不多几天, 小儿子收拾一切, 到远方去了, 在那里生活放荡, 浪费钱财.

15:14 And after he had spent everything, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
他花尽了一切所有的, 那地方又遇上了严重的饥荒, 就穷困起来;

15:15 And he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
于是他去投靠当地的一个居民. 那人打发他到田里去放猪,

15:16 And he was longing to fill his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.
他恨不得吃猪所吃的豆荚, 可是没有人给他.

15:17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have an abundance of food, and I am dying here from hunger!
他醒悟过来, 说: ‘我父亲有那么多雇工, 又有丰富的食物, 我却要在这里饿死吗?

15:18 I will set out and go to my father and will say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight!
我要起来, 到我父亲那里去, 对他说: 爸爸, 我得罪了天, 也得罪了你,

15:19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son! Make me like one of your hired workers.’
不配再称为你的儿子, 把我当作一个雇工吧! ’

15:20 And he set out and came to his own father. But while he was still a long way away, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
于是他起来往父亲那里去. 他还在远处时, 他父亲看见了他, 就动了慈心, 跑过去抱着他, 连连与他亲嘴.

15:21 And his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight! I am no longer worthy to be called your son!’
儿子说: ‘爸爸, 我得罪了天, 也得罪了你, 不配再称为你的儿子. ’

15:22 But his father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet!
父亲却吩咐仆人说: ‘快把那最好的袍子拿来给他穿, 把戒指戴在他手上, 把鞋穿在他脚上,

15:23 And bring the fattened calf—kill it and let us eat and celebrate,
把肥牛犊牵来宰了, 我们要吃喝快乐,

15:24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate.
因为我这儿子是死而复活,失而又得的. ’他们就欢乐起来.

15:25 “Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
“那时, 大儿子正在田里. 他回来离家不远的时候, 听见音乐跳舞的声音,

15:26 And he summoned one of the slaves and asked what these things meant.
就叫了一个仆人来, 问他这是怎么一回事.

15:27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has gotten him back healthy.’
仆人说: ‘你弟弟回来了, 你父亲因为他平安无恙地回来, 就宰了肥牛犊. ’

15:28 But he became angry and did not want to go in. So his father came out and began to implore him.
大儿子就生气, 不肯进去; 父亲出来劝他.

15:29 But he answered and said to his father, ‘Behold, so many years I have served you, and have never disobeyed your command! And you never gave me a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!
他对父亲说: ‘你看, 我服事你这么多年, 从来没有违背过你的命令, 可是你没有给我一只山羊羔, 叫我和朋友一同欢乐.

15:30 But when this son of yours returned—who has consumed your assets with prostitutes—you killed the fattened calf for him!’
但你这个儿子, 常常跟娼妓在一起, 花尽了你的财产, 他一回来, 你倒为他宰杀肥牛犊! ’

15:31 But he said to him, ‘Child, you are always with me, and everything I have belongs to you.
父亲对他说: ‘孩子, 你常跟我在一起, 我的一切都是你的.

15:32 But it was necessary to celebrate and to rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead, and is alive, and was lost, and is found!’ ”
只是因为你这个弟弟是死而复活,失而又得的, 我们应该欢喜快乐. ’”

Luke - Chapter 16

16:1 And he also said to the disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a manager. And charges were brought to him that this person was squandering his possessions.
耶稣又对门徒说: “有一个财主的管家, 有人在他主人面前告他浪费主人的财物.

16:2 And he summoned him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your management, because you can no longer manage.’
主人把他叫来, 对他说: ‘我听见关于你的是怎么一回事呢? 把你管理的帐目交代清楚, 因为你不能再作管家了. ’

16:3 And the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do, because my master is taking away the management from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
那管家心里说: ‘主人不要我再作管家了, 我作什么才好呢? 锄地吧, 没有力气! 讨饭吧, 怕羞!

16:4 I know what I should do, so that when I am removed from the management they will welcome me into their homes!’
我知道要怎么作了, 好使人在我离开管家的职务以后, 接我到他们家里去. ’

16:5 And he summoned each one of his own master’s debtors and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
于是把欠他主人债的人, 一个一个地叫来, 问头一个说: ‘你欠我主人多少? ’

16:6 And he said, ‘A hundred measures of olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your promissory note and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
他说: ‘四千公升油. ’管家说: ‘拿你的欠单去, 快坐下写二千. ’

16:7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your promissory note and write eighty.’
又问一个说: ‘你欠多少? ’他说: ‘四万公升麦子. ’管家说: ‘拿你的欠单去, 写三万. ’

16:8 And the master praised the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are shrewder than the sons of light with regard to their own generation.
主人就夸奖这不义的管家作事机警; 因为在应付自己的世事上, 今世之子比光明之子更精明.

16:9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it runs out they will welcome you into the eternal dwellings.
我告诉你们, 要用不义的钱财去结交朋友, 好叫钱财无用的时候, 他们可以接你们到永恒的帐棚里.

16:10 “The one who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in very little is also dishonest in much.
在最小的事上忠心的, 在大事上也忠心; 在最小的事上不义的, 在大事上也不义.

16:11 If then you have not been faithful with unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?
如果你们在不义的钱财上不忠心, 谁还把真实的钱财托付给你们呢?

16:12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you your own?
如果你们在别人的东西上不忠心, 谁还把你们自己的东西交给你们呢?

16:13 No domestic slave is able to serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and will despise the other. You are not able to serve God and money.”
“一个家仆不能服事两个主人; 他若不是恨这个爱那个, 就是忠于这个轻视那个. 你们不能服事神, 又服事金钱. ”

16:14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
贪财的法利赛人听见这些话, 就嗤笑耶稣.

16:15 And he said to them, “You are the ones who justify themselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts! For what is considered exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
耶稣对他们说: “你们在人面前自称为义, 神却知道你们的心; 因为人所高举的, 神却看作是可憎恶的.

16:16 “The law and the prophets were until John; from that time on the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is urgently pressed into it.
律法和先知到约翰就结束了. 从此, 神的国的福音就传开了, 人人都要努力进去.

16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the law to become invalid.
天地过去, 要比律法的一点一画失效还容易呢.

16:18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
凡休妻另娶的, 就犯了奸淫; 娶被丈夫所休的, 也是犯了奸淫.

16:19 “Now a certain man was rich, and dressed in purple cloth and fine linen, feasting sumptuously every day.
“有一个财主, 身穿紫色袍和细麻衣, 天天奢华宴乐.

16:20 And a certain poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, lay at his gate,
又有一个乞丐, 名叫拉撒路, 满身是疮, 被人放在财主门口,

16:21 and was longing to be filled with what fell from the table of the rich man. But even the dogs came and licked his sores.
想得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥; 并且有狗来舔他的疮.

16:22 Now it happened that the poor man died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
后来乞丐死了, 被天使送到亚伯拉罕的怀里. 那财主也死了, 并且埋葬了.

16:23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes as he was in torment and saw Abraham from a distance, and Lazarus at his side.
财主在阴间受痛苦, 举目远远望见亚伯拉罕, 和他怀里的拉撒路,

16:24 And he called out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he could dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering pain in this flame!’
就喊着说: ‘我祖亚伯拉罕啊, 可怜我吧! 打发拉撒路来用指头蘸点水, 凉凉我的舌头吧! 因为我在这火焰里非常痛苦. ’

16:25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you received your good things during your life, and Lazarus likewise bad things. But now he is comforted here, but you are suffering pain.
亚伯拉罕说: ‘孩子, 你应该回想你生前享过福, 同样拉撒路受过苦, 现在他在这里得安慰, 你却要受苦了.

16:26 And in addition to all these things, a great chasm has been established between us and you, so that those who want to cross over from here to you are not able to do so, nor can they cross over from there to us.’
不但这样, 我们与你们之间, 有深渊隔开, 人想从这边过到你们那里是不可能的, 从那边过到我们这边也是不可能的. ’

16:27 So he said, ‘Then I ask you, father, that you send him to my father’s house,
那人说: ‘我祖啊, 那么求你差遣拉撒路到我家里去,

16:28 for I have five brothers, so that he could warn them, in order that they also should not come to this place of torment!’
因为我有五个兄弟, 他可以警告他们, 免得他们也到这受苦的地方来. ’

16:29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must listen to them.’
亚伯拉罕说: ‘他们有摩西和先知可以听从. ’

16:30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent!’
他说: ‘不然, 我祖亚伯拉罕啊, 如果有人从死人中复活, 到他们那里去, 他们必定会悔改. ’

16:31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
亚伯拉罕说: ‘如果他们不听从摩西和先知, 就算有一个从死人中复活的人, 他们也不会接受劝告. ’”

Luke - Chapter 17

17:1 And he said to his disciples, “It is impossible for causes for stumbling not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!
耶稣又对门徒说: “使人犯罪的事是免不了的, 但那使人犯罪的人有祸了!

17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea than that he causes one of these little ones to sin.
就算拿一块大磨石拴在他的颈项上, 把他沉在深海里, 比他使这小子中的一个犯罪还好.

17:3 “Be concerned about yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
你们应当谨慎. 如果你弟兄得罪你, 就劝戒他; 他若懊悔, 就饶恕他.

17:4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times he returns to you saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
如果他一天七次得罪你, 又七次回转, 对你说: ‘我懊悔了! ’你总要饶恕他. ”

17:5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
使徒对主说: “请你加添我们的信心. ”

17:6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
主说: “如果你们有信心像一粒芥菜种, 就是对这棵桑树说: ‘拔起根来, 栽到海里去! ’它也必听从你们.

17:7 “And which of you who has a slave plowing or shepherding sheep who comes in from the field will say to him, ‘Come here at once and recline at the table’?
“你们中间谁有仆人去耕地或是放羊, 从田里回来, 你就对他说: ‘快过来坐下吃饭’;

17:8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something that I may eat, and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and after these things you will eat and drink.’
而不对他说: ‘给我预备晚餐, 束起腰来服事我, 等我吃喝完了, 你才吃喝’呢?

17:9 He will not be grateful to the slave because he did what was ordered, will he?
仆人作了所吩咐的事, 主人还谢谢他吗?

17:10 Thus you also, when you have done all the things you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done what we were obligated to do.’ ”
你们也是这样, 作完一切吩咐你们的事, 应该说: ‘我们是无用的仆人, 我们只作了应分作的. ’”

17:11 And it happened that while traveling toward Jerusalem, he was passing through the region between Samaria and Galilee.
耶稣往耶路撒冷去, 经过撒玛利亚和加利利的边境.

17:12 And as he was entering into a certain village, ten men met him—lepers, who stood at a distance.
他走进一个村庄, 有十个痲风病人迎面而来, 远远地站着,

17:13 And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
大声说: “主耶稣啊, 可怜我们吧! ”

17:14 And when he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.
他看见了, 就对他们说: “你们去给祭司检查吧. ”他们去的时候就洁净了.

17:15 But one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
内中有一个人见自己已经好了, 就回来大声颂赞神,

17:16 And he fell on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him. And he was a Samaritan.
在耶稣脚前把脸伏在地上感谢他. 他是一个撒玛利亚人.

17:17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were not ten cleansed? And where are the nine?
耶稣说: “洁净了的不是有十个人吗? 那九个在哪里?

17:18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
除了这外族人, 再没有一个回来颂赞神吗? ”

17:19 And he said to him, “Get up and go your way. Your faith has saved you.”
耶稣就对他说: “起来, 走吧, 你的信使你痊愈了. ”

17:20 Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with things that can be observed,
法利赛人问耶稣: “神的国什么时候来到呢? ”他回答: “神的国来到, 是眼睛看不见的.

17:21 nor will they say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
人不能说: ‘看哪! 在这里’, 或说: ‘在那里’; 因为神的国就在你们里面. ”

17:22 And he said to the disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
他又对门徒说: “日子将到, 你们渴望看见人子的一个日子, 却见不到.

17:23 And they will say to you, ‘Behold, there!’ ‘Behold, here!’ Do not go out or run after them!
有人会对你们说: ‘看哪, 在那里; 看哪, 在这里! ’你们不要出去, 也不要追随他们.

17:24 For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from one place under heaven to another place under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day.
电光怎样从天这边一闪, 直照到天那边, 人子在他的日子也是这样.

17:25 But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.
但他必须先受许多苦, 被这个世代弃绝.

17:26 And just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man—
挪亚的时代怎样, 人子的时代也是怎样.

17:27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
当时人们吃喝嫁娶, 直到挪亚进入方舟的那一天, 洪水来了, 把他们全都灭掉.

17:28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building.
在罗得的时代也是这样, 人们吃喝买卖, 耕种建造,

17:29 But on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed them all.
直到罗得离开所多玛的那一天, 火与硫磺从天上降下来, 把他们全都灭掉.

17:30 It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
人子显现的日子也是这样.

17:31 On that day, whoever is on the housetop and his goods are in the house must not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back
当那日, 人在房顶上, 器具在屋里, 不要下来拿; 在田里的, 照样不要回家.

17:32 Remember Lot’s wife!
应当记着罗得的妻子的教训.

17:33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will keep it.
凡是想保全生命的, 必丧掉生命; 凡是牺牲生命的, 却必保全生命.

17:34 I tell you that in that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
我告诉你们, 当那夜, 两个人在一张床上, 一个被接去, 一个被撇下.

17:35 There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.”
两个女人一起推磨, 一个被接去, 一个被撇下. ”

17:36
(有些抄本有第36节: “两个人在田里, 一个被接去, 一个撇下来. ”)

17:37 And they answered and said to him, “Where, Lord?” So he said to them, “Where the dead body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.”
门徒问耶稣: “主啊, 这些事会在哪里发生呢? ”主说: “尸首在哪里, 鹰也会聚集在哪里. ”

Luke - Chapter 18

18:1 And he told them a parable to show that they must always pray and not be discouraged,
耶稣对他们讲一个比喻, 论到人必须常常祈祷, 不可灰心.

18:2 saying, “There was a certain judge in a certain town who did not fear God and did not respect people.
他说: “某城里有一个法官, 不惧怕神, 也不尊敬人.

18:3 And there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary!’
那城里有一个寡妇, 常常来到他那里, 说: ‘求你给我伸冤, 使我脱离我的对头! ’

18:4 And he was not willing for a time, but after these things he said to himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God or respect people,
他多次不肯, 后来心里说: ‘我虽然不惧怕神, 也不尊敬人,

18:5 yet because this widow is causing trouble for me, I will grant her justice, so that she does not wear me down in the end by her coming back!’ ”
只是因为这寡妇常常来麻烦我, 就给她伸冤吧, 免得她不断地来缠扰我. ’”

18:6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge is saying!
主说: “你们听听这不义的法官所说的话吧.

18:7 And will not God surely see to it that justice is done to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay toward them?
难道神不会为昼夜呼吁他的选民伸冤吗? 难道神会耽误他们吗?

18:8 I tell you that he will see to it that justice is done for them soon! Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, then will he find faith on earth?”
我告诉你们, 他要快快地给他们伸冤. 然而人子来的时候, 在世上找得到这种信心吗? ”

18:9 And he also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on everyone else:
耶稣向那些自恃为义,轻视别人的人, 讲了这个比喻:

18:10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
“有两个人上圣殿去祈祷, 一个是法利赛人, 一个是税吏.

18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things with reference to himself: ‘God, I give thanks to you that I am not like other people—swindlers, unrighteous people, adulterers, or even like this tax collector!
法利赛人站着, 祷告给自己听, 这样说: ‘神啊, 我感谢你, 我不像别人, 勒索,不义,奸淫, 也不像这个税吏.

18:12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all that I get.’
我一个礼拜禁食两次, 我的一切收入都奉献十分之一. ’

18:13 But the tax collector, standing far away, did not want even to raise his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
税吏却远远站着, 连举目望天也不敢, 只捶着胸说: ‘神啊, 可怜我这个罪人! ’

18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that one! For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
我告诉你们, 这个人回去, 比那个倒算为义了. 因为高抬自己的, 必要降卑; 自己谦卑的, 必要升高. ”

18:15 Now they were bringing even their babies to him so that he could touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
有人抱着婴孩到耶稣面前, 要他抚摩他们. 门徒看见了, 就责备那些人.

18:16 But Jesus called them to himself, saying, “Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
耶稣却叫他们过来, 说: “让小孩子到我这里来, 不要禁止他们, 因为神的国正属于这样的人.

18:17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”
我实在告诉你们, 凡不像小孩子一样接受神的国的, 决不能进去. ”

18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, by doing what will I inherit eternal life?”
有一个官长问耶稣: “良善的老师, 我当作什么, 才可以承受永生? ”

18:19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
耶稣对他说: “你为什么称我是良善的呢? 除了神一位以外, 没有良善的.

18:20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’ ”
诫命你是知道的: 不可奸淫, 不可杀人, 不可偷盗, 不可作假证供, 当孝敬父母. ”

18:21 And he said, “All these I have observed from my youth.”
他说: “这一切我从小都遵守了. ”

18:22 And when he heard this, Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have, and distribute the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
耶稣听了, 就告诉他: “你还缺少一件, 应当变卖你一切所有的, 分给穷人, 你就必定有财宝在天上, 而且你还要来跟从我. ”

18:23 But when he heard these things he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
他听见这话, 非常忧愁, 因为他十分富有.

18:24 And Jesus took notice of him and said, “How difficult it is for those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!
耶稣见他这样, 就说: “富有的人要进神的国, 是多么难哪!

18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.
骆驼穿过针眼, 比有钱的人进神的国还容易呢. ”

18:26 So those who heard this said, “And who can be saved?”
听见的人说: “这样, 谁可以得救呢? ”

18:27 But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
耶稣说: “人所不能的, 在神却是可能的. ”

18:28 And Peter said, “Behold, we have left all that is ours and followed you.”
彼得说: “你看, 我们已舍弃自己所有的, 跟从你了! ”

18:29 And he said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children on account of the kingdom of God,
耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 人为神的国撇下房屋,妻子,弟兄,父母或儿女,

18:30 who will not receive many times more in this time and in the age to come, eternal life.”
没有不在今世得许多倍, 来世得永生的. ”

18:31 And taking aside the twelve, he said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets with reference to the Son of Man will be accomplished.
耶稣把十二门徒带到一边, 对他们说: “我们现在上耶路撒冷去, 先知所写的一切, 都要成就在人子身上.

18:32 For he will be handed over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and mistreated and spit on,
他要被交给外族人, 受戏弄, 被凌辱, 他们要向他吐唾沫,

18:33 and after flogging him they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.”
鞭打他, 杀害他; 第三日他要复活. ”

18:34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was concealed from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.
这些话的含义对门徒是隐藏的. 他们听了, 一点也不明白, 不知道他说的是什么.

18:35 Now it happened that as he drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting on the side of the road begging.
耶稣走近耶利哥的时候, 有一个瞎眼的人坐在路旁讨饭,

18:36 And when he heard a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant.
他听见人群经过, 就问是什么事.

18:37 And they told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.”
别人告诉他, 是拿撒勒人耶稣经过.

18:38 And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
他就喊叫说: “大卫的子孙耶稣啊, 可怜我吧! ”

18:39 And those who were in front rebuked him, that he should be silent, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
在前头走的人责备他, 叫他不要出声; 但他越发喊叫: “大卫的子孙, 可怜我吧! ”

18:40 So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. And when he approached, he asked him,
耶稣站住, 吩咐领他过来. 等他走近, 就问他:

18:41 “What do you want me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may regain my sight.
“你要我为你作什么? ”他说: “主啊, 叫我能看见! ”

18:42 And Jesus said to him, “Regain your sight! Your faith has saved you.”
耶稣说: “你就看见吧! 你的信使你痊愈了. ”

18:43 And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
他立刻看见了, 就跟随耶稣, 颂赞神. 众人看见这事, 也赞美神.

Luke - Chapter 19

19:1 And he entered and traveled through Jericho.
耶稣进了耶利哥, 正经过的时候,

19:2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
有一个人名叫撒该, 是税吏长, 又很富有.

19:3 And he was seeking to see Jesus—who he was—and he was not able to as a result of the crowd, because he was short in stature.
他想看看耶稣是怎么样的, 因为人多, 他又身材矮小, 就看不见.

19:4 And he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because he was going to go through that way.
于是他跑到前头, 爬上一棵桑树, 要看看耶稣, 因为耶稣就要从那里经过.

19:5 And when he came to the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because it is necessary for me to stay at your house today!”
耶稣到了那里, 往上一看, 对他说: “撒该, 快下来, 今天我要住在你家里. ”

19:6 And he came down quickly and welcomed him joyfully.
他就赶快下来, 欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣.

19:7 And when they saw it, they all began to complain, saying, “He has gone in to find lodging with a man who is a sinner!”
众人看见就纷纷议论说: “他竟到罪人家里去住宿! ”

19:8 And Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I am paying it back four times as much!”
撒该站着对主说: “主啊, 请看, 我要把家财的一半分给穷人, 我若敲诈了谁, 就还他四倍. ”

19:9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham.
耶稣说: “今天救恩到了这家, 他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙.

19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save those who are lost.”
因为人子来, 是要寻找拯救失丧的人. ”

19:11 Now while they were listening to these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
众人听这些话的时候, 因为耶稣已经接近耶路撒冷, 又因他们以为神的国快要出现, 他就讲了一个比喻,

19:12 Therefore he said, “A certain nobleman traveled to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
说: “有一个贵族往远方去要接受王位, 然后回来.

19:13 And summoning ten of his own slaves, he gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Do business until I come back.’
他叫了自己的十个仆人来, 给他们一千银币, 说: ‘你们拿去作生意, 等到我回来. ’

19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to be king over us!’
他本国的人却恨他, 就派使者跟着去说: ‘我们不愿意这个人作王统治我们. ’

19:15 And it happened that when he returned after receiving the kingdom, he ordered these slaves to whom he had given the money to be summoned to him, so that he could know what they had gained by trading.
他得了王位回来, 就吩咐把那些领了钱的仆人召来, 要知道他们作生意赚了多少.

19:16 So the first arrived, saying, ‘Sir, your mina has made ten minas more!’
第一个走过来说: ‘主啊, 你的一百银币, 已经赚了一千. ’

19:17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very small thing, have authority over ten cities.’
主人说: ‘好, 良善的仆人, 你既然在最小的事上忠心, 可以有权管理十座城. ’

19:18 And the second came, saying, ‘Sir, your mina has made five minas.’
第二个来说: ‘主啊, 你的一百银币, 已经赚了五百. ’

19:19 So he said to this one also, ‘And you be over five cities.’
主人说: ‘你可以管理五座城. ’

19:20 And another came, saying, ‘Sir, behold your mina, which I had put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.
另一个来说: ‘主啊, 你看, 你的一百银币, 我一直保存在手巾里,

19:21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man—you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!’
因为我怕你, 你一向是严厉的人, 没有存的要提取, 没有种的要收割. ’

19:22 He said to him, ‘By your own words I will judge you, wicked slave! You knew that I am a severe man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
主人说: ‘可恶的仆人! 我要凭你的口定你的罪. 你知道我是严厉的人, 没有存的要提取, 没有种的要收割吗?

19:23 And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, when I returned, would have collected it with interest?’
那你为什么不把我的钱存入银行, 等我回来的时候, 把它连本带利取回来呢? ’

19:24 And to the bystanders he said, ‘Take away from him the mina and give it to the one who has the ten minas!’
他就对侍卫说: ‘夺过他的一百银币, 给那有一千的. ’

19:25 And they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas.’
他们说: ‘主啊, 他已经有一千银币了. ’

19:26 ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
主人说: ‘我告诉你们, 凡是有的, 还要给他; 没有的, 就算他有什么也要拿去.

19:27 But these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!’ ”
至于我那些仇敌, 就是不愿意我作王统治他们的, 把他们拉到这里来, 在我面前杀掉! ’”

19:28 And after he had said these things, he traveled on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
耶稣讲完这些话, 就往前走, 上耶路撒冷去.

19:29 And it happened that when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
将到伯法其和伯大尼, 就在橄榄山那里, 他差派两个门徒,

19:30 saying, ‘Go into the village in front of you, in which as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no person has ever sat, and untie it and bring it.
说: “你们往对面的村子里去, 就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的小驴, 拴在那里, 把它解开牵来.

19:31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you will say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’ ”
如果有人问为什么解开它, 你们要这样说: ‘主需要它. ’”

19:32 So those who were sent went and found it just as he had told them.
被差的人去了, 发现和主所说的一样.

19:33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’
他们解开小驴的时候, 主人问他们: “你们为什么解开它? ”

19:34 So they said, ‘The Lord has need of it.’
他们说: “主需要它. ”

19:35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they put Jesus on it.
他们把小驴牵到耶稣那里, 把自己的衣服搭在上面, 扶着耶稣上去.

19:36 And as he was going along, they were spreading out their cloaks on the road.
耶稣前行的时候, 众人把自己的衣服铺在路上.

19:37 Now as he was drawing near by this time to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen,
他走近耶路撒冷, 快要下橄榄山的时候, 全体门徒因为所看见的一切神迹, 就欢乐起来, 大声赞美神,

19:38 saying, “Blessed is the king, the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
说: “奉主名来的王, 是应当称颂的! 在天上有和平, 在至高之处有荣耀! ”

19:39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
群众中有几个法利赛人对他说: “先生, 责备你的门徒吧! ”

19:40 And he answered and said, “I tell you that if these keep silent, the stones will cry out!”
耶稣说: “我告诉你们, 他们若不出声, 石头都要呼叫了. ”

19:41 And when he approached and saw the city, he wept over it,
耶稣走近耶路撒冷的时候, 看见了城, 就为城哀哭,

19:42 saying, “If you had known on this day—even you—the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
说: “巴不得你在这日子, 知道关于你平安的事, 但现在这事在你眼前是隐藏的.

19:43 For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions.
日子将到, 你的仇敌必筑垒攻击你, 周围环绕你, 四面困住你,

19:44 And they will raze you to the ground, you and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
要摧毁你和你里面的儿女, 没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面, 因为你不知道那眷顾你的时期. ”

19:45 And he entered into the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
耶稣进了圣殿, 就赶走作买卖的人,

19:46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘And my house will be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
对他们说: “经上记着: ‘我的殿是祷告的殿’, 你们竟把它弄成贼窝了. ”

19:47 And he was teaching every day in the temple courts, and the chief priests and the scribes and the most prominent men of the people were seeking to destroy him.
他天天在圣殿里教导人, 祭司长,经学家和民间的首领, 都想杀害他;

19:48 And they did not find anything they could do, because all the people were paying close attention to what they were hearing from him.
但他们不知道要怎样下手, 因为众人都围着他, 听他的教训.

Luke - Chapter 20

20:1 And it happened that on one of the days while he was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes approached together with the elders
有一天, 耶稣在殿里教导人, 宣讲福音, 众祭司长,经学家和长老上前来,

20:2 and said, saying to him, “Tell us, by what authority you are doing these things, or who is the one who gave you this authority?
对他说: “告诉我们, 你凭着什么权柄作这些事? 给你这权柄的是谁? ”

20:3 And he answered and said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and you tell me:
他回答他们: “我也要问你们一句话, 你们告诉我:

20:4 The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?
约翰的洗礼是从天上来的, 还是从人来的呢? ”

20:5 And they discussed this with one another, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
他们就彼此议论说: “如果我们说: ‘是从天上来的’, 他就会问: ‘那你们为什么不相信他呢? ’

20:6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
如果我们说: ‘是从人来的’, 众人都会用石头打我们, 因为他们都认定约翰是先知. ”

20:7 And they replied that they did not know where it was from.
于是他们回答耶稣: “我们不知道是从哪里来的. ”

20:8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
耶稣说: “我也不告诉你们, 我凭着什么权柄作这些事. ”

20:9 And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time.
于是耶稣向众人讲了这个比喻: “有一个人栽种了一个葡萄园, 租给佃户, 就远行去了很久.

20:10 And at the proper time he sent a slave to the tenant farmers, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenant farmers sent him away empty-handed after beating him.
到了时候, 园主派了一个仆人到佃户那里, 叫他们把葡萄园当纳的果子交给他. 佃户却打了他, 放他空手回去.

20:11 And he proceeded to send another slave, but they beat and dishonored that one also, and sent him away empty-handed.
园主又派另一个仆人去, 佃户又打了他, 并且侮辱他, 也叫他空手回去.

20:12 And he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded and threw out this one also.
于是他又派第三个去, 佃户把他打伤, 赶他走了.

20:13 So the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’
葡萄园的主人说: ‘怎么办呢? 我要派我的爱子去, 也许这一个他们会尊敬的. ’

20:14 But when the tenant farmers saw him, they began to reason with one another, saying, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance will become ours!’
佃户一看他, 就彼此商议说: ‘这是继承产业的, 让我们杀了他, 那么, 产业就成为我们的了. ’

20:15 And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
于是他们把园主的爱子推出葡萄园外杀了. 主人要怎样对待他们呢?

20:16 He will come and destroy those tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others.” And when they heard this, they said, “May this never happen!”
他要来除掉这些佃户, 把葡萄园租给别人. ”他们听见了就说: “千万不要有这样的事发生! ”

20:17 But he looked intently at them and said, “What then is this that is written: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone.’
耶稣看着他们, 说: “那么, ‘建筑工人所弃的石头, 成了房角的主要石头’, 这经文是什么意思呢?

20:18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!”
凡是跌在那石头上的, 就必摔碎; 那石头掉在谁的身上, 就必把他压得粉碎. ”

20:19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay their hands on him at that same hour, and they were afraid of the people, for they knew that he had told this parable with reference to them.
经学家和祭司长知道这比喻是针对他们说的, 当时就想动手拿他, 可是又害怕群众.

20:20 And they watched him closely and sent spies who pretended they were upright, in order that they could catch him in a statement, so that they could hand him over to the authority and the jurisdiction of the governor.
经学家和祭司长差派奸细伪装好人去窥探耶稣, 要抓着他的把柄, 好把他交由总督全权裁决.

20:21 And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not show partiality, but teach the way of God in truth.
奸细问他: “老师, 我们知道你所说所教的都对, 并且不讲情面, 只照着真理把神的道教导人.

20:22 Is it permitted for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
我们纳税给凯撒可以不可以? ”

20:23 But seeing through their craftiness, he said to them,
耶稣看透他们的诡计, 就对他们说:

20:24 “Show me a denarius! Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they answered and said, “Caesar’s.”
“给我一个银币看看, 上面是谁的像, 谁的名号? ”他们说: “凯撒的. ”

20:25 So he said to them, “Well then, give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!”
耶稣说: “这样, 凯撒的应当归给凯撒, 神的应当归给神. ”

20:26 And they were not able to catch him in a statement in the sight of the people, and astonished at his answer, they became silent.
他们在群众面前, 不能抓住耶稣的把柄, 又希奇他的回答, 就沉默下来.

20:27 Now some of the Sadducees—who deny that there is a resurrection—came up and asked him,
撒都该人向来否认有复活的事, 他们当中有几个人来问耶稣:

20:28 saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone’s brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and father descendants for his brother.
“老师, 摩西曾写给我们说: ‘如果一个人娶了妻子, 还没有儿女就死了, 他弟弟就应当娶他的妻子, 为哥哥立后. ’

20:29 Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife and died childless,
从前有兄弟七人, 头一个娶了妻子, 没有孩子就死了.

20:30 and the second,
第二个,

20:31 and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.
第三个, 也娶过她; 七个都是这样, 都没有留下孩子就死了.

20:32 Finally the woman also died.
后来那女人也死了.

20:33 Therefore in the resurrection, the woman—whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”
那么, 这女人在复活的时候, 要作哪一个的妻子呢? 因为七个人都娶过她. ”

20:34 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
耶稣说: “这世界的人又娶又嫁,

20:35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
但配得那世界的, 又配从死人中复活的人, 也不娶也不嫁.

20:36 for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, because they are sons of the resurrection.
他们和天使一样, 不能再死; 既然是复活了的人, 就是神的儿女了.

20:37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in the passage about the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
至于死人复活的事, 摩西在荆棘篇上提过, 他称主是亚伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神;

20:38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!”
神不是死人的神, 而是活人的神, 因为在他那里的人都是活的. ”

20:39 And some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
经学家中有几个说: “老师, 你说得好. ”

20:40 For they no longer dared to ask him anything.
从此他们再不敢问他什么了.

20:41 But he said to them, “In what sense do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
耶稣问他们: “人怎么能说基督是大卫的子孙呢?

20:42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
大卫自己在诗篇上说: ‘主对我的主说: 你坐在我的右边,

20:43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳. ’

20:44 David therefore calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?”
大卫既然称他为主, 他又怎会是大卫的子孙呢? ”

20:45 And while all the people were listening, he said to the disciples,
众人听着的时候, 耶稣对门徒说:

20:46 “Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets,
“你们要提防经学家, 他们好穿长袍走来走去, 喜欢人在巿中心向他们问安, 并且喜欢会堂里的高位,筵席上的首座.

20:47 who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy prayers for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!”
他们吞没了寡妇的房产, 又用冗长的祷告作掩饰. 这等人必受更重的刑罚. ”

Luke - Chapter 21

21:1 And he looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the contribution box,
耶稣抬眼看见有钱的人把奉献投入奉献箱.

21:2 and he saw a certain poor widow putting in there two small copper coins.
他又看见一个穷寡妇, 投入两个小钱,

21:3 And he said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all of them.
就说: “我实在告诉你们, 这个穷寡妇所投的, 比众人投的更多.

21:4 For these all put gifts into the offering out of their abundance, but this woman out of her poverty put in all the means of subsistence that she had.”
因为这些人都是把自己剩余的投进去作奉献, 这寡妇是自己不足, 却把所有养生的都投进去了. ”

21:5 And while some were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with precious stones and votive offerings, he said,
有人在谈论圣殿, 是用美丽的石头和供物装饰的. 耶稣说:

21:6 “As for these things that you see—days will come in which not one stone will be left on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
“你们看见的这些, 到了日子, 必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面, 每一块都要拆下来. ”

21:7 And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, when therefore will these things happen, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”
那些人问他: “老师, 什么时候会有这些事呢? 这些事要发生的时候, 有什么预兆呢? ”

21:8 And he said, Watch out that you are not deceived! For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time is near!’ Do not go after them!
他说: “你们要小心, 不要被人迷惑. 因为有许多人要来, 假冒我的名说: ‘我就是基督’, 又说: ‘时候近了. ’你们不要跟从这些人.

21:9 And when you hear about wars and insurrections, do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not be at once.”
你们要听见战乱和暴动, 但不要惊慌, 因为这些事是必先发生的, 不过结局却不会立刻就到. ”

21:10 Then he said to them, “nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
过了一会儿, 耶稣又对他们说: “一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族, 一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家.

21:11 There will be great earthquakes and famines and plagues in various places. There will be terrible sights and great signs from heaven.
到处必有大地震,饥荒和瘟疫, 天上必有又恐怖又巨大的预兆.

21:12 “But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.
但在这一切以先, 人必为我的名, 下手拘捕,迫害你们, 把你们交给会堂, 下在监里, 甚至押到君王和总督面前,

21:13 This will turn out to you for a time of witness.
结果却成了你们见证的机会.

21:14 Therefore make up your minds not to prepare in advance to speak in your own defense,
所以, 你们应当心里镇定, 用不着预先思虑怎样申辩.

21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all your opponents will not be able to resist or contradict.
因为我必赐给你们口才,智慧, 是你们所有的敌人不能抵抗, 也不能驳倒的.

21:16 And you will be handed over even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put to death some of you.
你们也会被父母,弟兄,亲戚,朋友出卖, 他们又要害死你们一些人.

21:17 And you will be hated by all because of my name.
你们要因我的名, 被众人恨恶,

21:18 Even a hair of your head will never perish!
然而连你们的一根头发, 也必不失落.

21:19 By your patient endurance you will gain your lives.
你们要以坚忍的心志, 赢取自己的灵魂.

21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.
“当你们看见耶路撒冷被军队围困的时候, 就知道它荒凉的日子近了.

21:21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those inside it must depart, and those in the fields must not enter into it,
那时, 住在犹太的, 应该逃到山上; 住在城里的, 要离开; 住在乡下的, 不要进城.

21:22 because these are days of vengeance, so that all the things that are written can be fulfilled.
因为这是报仇的日子, 使经上的一切话都得应验.

21:23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people,
当那些日子, 怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了! 因为大灾难要临到这地, 烈怒要临到这民.

21:24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
他们将倒在刀下, 被掳到各国, 耶路撒冷必被外族人践踏, 直到外族人的日期满足.

21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity from the noise of the sea and its surging,
“日月星辰将有异兆; 在地上, 各国也要因着海洋波涛的咆哮而困苦不安.

21:26 people fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming on the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
天上的万象震动, 人因为等待即将临到世界的事, 都吓昏了.

21:27 And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud with power and great glory.
那时, 他们要看见人子, 带着能力, 满有荣耀, 驾着云降临.

21:28 But when these things begin to happen, stand up straight and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near!”
一有这些事, 你们就当挺身昂首, 因为你们的救赎近了. ”

21:29 And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
耶稣又给他们讲了一个比喻: “你们看看无花果树和各样的树.

21:30 When they put out foliage, now you see for yourselves and know that by this time the summer is near.
它们什么时候发芽, 你们看见了, 就知道夏天近了.

21:31 So also you, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
同样, 你们什么时候看见这些事发生, 也应该知道神的国近了.

21:32 Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all things take place!
我实在告诉你们, 这一切都必定发生, 然后这世代才会过去.

21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
天地都过去, 但我的话决不会废去.

21:34 “But take care for yourselves, lest your hearts are weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of daily life, and that day come upon you suddenly
“你们应当自己小心, 免得在贪食醉酒和生活的挂虑压住你们的心的时候, 那日子突然临到你们,

21:35 like a trap. For it will come upon all who reside on the face of the whole earth.
正如网罗临到全地的所有居民.

21:36 But be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
你们要时刻警醒, 常常祈求, 好让你们能逃避这一切要发生的事, 可以站在人子面前. ”

21:37 So throughout the days he was teaching in the temple courts, and throughout the nights he was going out and spending the night on the hill that is called the Mount of Olives.
耶稣白天在殿里教导人, 晚上就到橄榄山上去过夜.

21:38 And all the people were getting up very early in the morning to come to him in the temple courts to listen to him.
群众清早起来上圣殿, 到他那里要听他讲道.

Luke - Chapter 22

22:1 Now the feast of Unleavened Bread (which is called Passover) was drawing near.
除酵节又名逾越节近了.

22:2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they could destroy him, because they were afraid of the people.
祭司长和经学家设法怎样杀害耶稣, 因为他们惧怕群众.

22:3 And Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
那时, 撒但已经进入加略人犹大的心, 他原是十二门徒中的一个.

22:4 And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he could betray him to them.
他去与祭司长和守殿官商量怎样把耶稣交给他们.

22:5 And they were delighted, and came to an agreement with him to give him money.
他们很高兴, 约定了给他银子.

22:6 And he agreed, and began looking for a favorable opportunity to betray him to them apart from the crowd.
他答应了, 就寻找机会, 要趁群众不在的时候, 把耶稣交给他们.

22:7 And the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed.
除酵日到了, 在这一天应当宰杀逾越节的羊羔.

22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.
耶稣差派彼得和约翰, 说: “你们去为我们预备逾越节的晚餐给我们吃. ”

22:9 So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
他们说: “你要我们在哪里预备呢? ”

22:10 And he said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
他说: “你们进了城, 必有一个人顶着水罐, 迎面而来, 你们就跟着他, 到他所进的那一家,

22:11 And you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’
对家主说, 老师问你: ‘客厅在哪里? 我和门徒好在那里吃逾越节的晚餐. ’

22:12 And he will show you a large furnished upstairs room. Make preparations there.”
他必指示你们楼上一间布置整齐的大房子, 你们就在那里预备. ”

22:13 So they went and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
他们去了, 所遇见的正像耶稣所说的一样, 就预备好了逾越节的晚餐.

22:14 And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.
到了时候, 耶稣和使徒一同吃饭.

22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
他说: “我十分愿意在受难以前, 跟你们吃这逾越节的晚餐.

22:16 For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
我告诉你们, 我决不再吃这晚餐, 直到它成就在神的国里. ”

22:17 And he took in hand a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
耶稣接过杯来, 感谢了, 说: “你们拿这个, 大家分着喝.

22:18 For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
我告诉你们, 从今以后, 我决不再喝这葡萄酒, 直到神的国来临. ”

22:19 And he took bread, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
他拿起饼来, 感谢了, 擘开递给他们, 说: “这是我的身体, 为你们舍的, 你们应当这样行, 为的是记念我. ”

22:20 And in the same way the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.
饭后, 他照样拿起杯来, 说: “这杯是用我的血所立的新约, 这血是为你们流的.

22:21 “But behold, the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me on the table!
你看, 出卖我的人的手和我一同在桌子上,

22:22 For the Son of Man is going according to what has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”
人子固然要照所预定的离世, 但出卖人子的那人有祸了! ”

22:23 And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.
于是, 门徒彼此对问, 他们中间谁要作这事.

22:24 And a dispute also occurred among them as to which of them was recognized as being greatest.
门徒中间又起了争论: 他们中间谁是最大的.

22:25 So he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors.
耶稣对他们说: “各国都有君王统治他们, 他们的掌权者称为恩主,

22:26 But you are not to be like this! But the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
但你们却不要这样; 你们中间最大的, 应当像最小的; 作首领的, 应当像服事人的.

22:27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am in your midst as the one who serves.
哪一个大呢? 是坐着吃喝的还是服事人的呢? 不是坐着吃喝的吗? 然而我在你们中间, 如同服事人的.

22:28 “And you are the ones who have remained with me in my trials,
我在磨炼之中, 常常和我同在的就是你们.

22:29 and I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred on me,
父怎样把王权赐给我, 我也照样赐给你们,

22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
叫你们在我的国里坐在我的席上吃喝, 又坐在宝座上审判以色列的十二支派.

22:32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out without a money bag and a traveler’s bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” And they said, “Nothing.”
耶稣又对他们说: “从前我差你们出去, 没有带钱囊,口袋,鞋子, 你们缺乏什么没有? ”他们说: “没有. ”

22:36 And he said to them, “But now the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag. And the one who does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one.
耶稣说: “但现在, 有钱囊的应当带着, 有口袋的也是这样; 没有刀的, 要卖掉衣服去买刀.

我告诉你们, ‘他被列在不法者之中’这句经文, 必定应验在我身上, 因为关于我的事必然成就. ”

(有些抄本有第43,44节: “有一位天使从天上显现, 加给他力量. 耶稣非常伤痛, 祷告更加恳切, 汗如大血点滴在地上. ”)

(有些抄本有第43,44节: “有一位天使从天上显现, 加给他力量. 耶稣非常伤痛, 祷告更加恳切, 汗如大血点滴在地上. ”)

22:52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come out against him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber?
耶稣对那些前来捉拿他的祭司长,守殿官和长老说: “你们带着刀棒出来, 把我当作强盗捉拿吗?

我天天跟你们在殿里, 你们不向我下手; 但现在是你们的时候了, 也是黑暗掌权的时候了. ”

22:58 And after a short time another person saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
不久, 另一个人看见他, 就说: “你也是他们中间的一个. ”彼得说: “你这个人, 我不是. ”

22:59 And after about one hour had passed, someone else was insisting, saying, “In truth this man also was with him, because he is also a Galilean!”
大约过了一小时, 又有一个人肯定地说: “这人真是和他一伙的, 因为他也是加利利人. ”

彼得说: “你这个人, 我不知道你说的是什么! ”他还在说话的时候, 鸡就叫了.

22:61 And the Lord turned around and looked intently at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”
主转过身来看彼得, 彼得就想起主对他说过的话: “今天鸡叫以前, 你要三次说不认得我. ”

22:62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

众人都起来, 把耶稣押到彼拉多那里,

23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying he himself is Christ, a king!”
控告他说: “我们查出这个人煽惑我们的同胞, 阻止纳税给凯撒, 并且自称是基督, 是王. ”

彼拉多问他: “你是犹太人的王吗? ”耶稣回答: “这是你说的. ”

23:5 But they insisted, saying, “He incites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea and beginning from Galilee as far as here.”
但他们极力说: “他在犹太全地教导人, 煽动群众, 从加利利直到这里. ”

23:6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
彼拉多听见了, 就问耶稣是不是加利利人.

23:7 And when he found out that he was from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.
既然知道他是从希律管辖下来的, 就把他送回希律那里; 那时希律正在耶路撒冷.

希律看见耶稣, 非常欢喜, 因为他曾经听过耶稣的事, 早就想要见他, 希望看他行个神迹.

23:14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people, and behold, when I examined him before you, I found nothing in this man as basis for the accusation which you are making against him.
对他们说: “你们把这人押到我这里来, 说他煽惑群众, 我已经在你们面前审讯过, 在他身上一点也找不到你们控告他的罪状,

23:15 But neither did Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him.
连希律也找不到, 又把他送回我这里, 可见他没有作过该死的事.

23:16 Therefore I will punish him and release him.”
我要责打他, 然后把他释放. ”

23:17
(有些抄本有第17节: “每逢节期, 他必须照例给他们释放一个囚犯. ”也有些抄本把这句放在第19节后)

23:18 But they all cried out in unison, saying, “Take this man away, and release for us Barabbas!”

彼拉多第三次对他们说: “这人作过什么恶事呢? 我在他身上找不出什么该死的罪. 所以我要责打他, 然后把他释放. ”

23:23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he be crucified. And their cries prevailed.
但他们大声吵闹, 要他把耶稣钉十字架, 他们的声音就得了胜.

23:24 And Pilate decided that their demand should be granted.
彼拉多就宣判, 照他们的要求,

他们把耶稣带走的时候, 抓住了一个从乡下来的古利奈人西门, 把十字架放在他身上, 叫他背着跟在耶稣后面.

日子将到, 人必说: ‘不生育的和没有怀过胎的, 也没有哺养过婴儿的有福了. ’

23:30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
那时人要对大山说: ‘倒在我们身上! ’对小山说: ‘遮盖我们! ’

23:31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

耶稣说: “父啊, 赦免他们! 因为他们不知道自己所作的是什么. ”士兵抽签, 分了他的衣服.

23:41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for what we have done. But this man has done nothing wrong!”

耶稣说: “你们走路的时候, 彼此讨论的是什么事呢? ”他们就站住, 面带愁容;

24:18 And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to him, “Are you the only one living near Jerusalem and not knowing the things that have happened in it in these days?”
一个名叫革流巴的回答他: “在耶路撒冷作客的, 难道只有你不知道这几天在那里所发生的事吗? ”

24:26 Was it not necessary that the Christ suffer these things and enter into his glory?”

他们强留他说: “天晚了, 太阳下山了, 请与我们同住吧! ”他就进去与他们同住.

24:32 And they said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?”
他们彼此说: “在路上他对我们说话, 给我们解释圣经的时候, 我们的心不是火热的吗? ”

24:33 And they got up that same hour and returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and those with them assembled,
他们就立时起来回耶路撒冷去. 在那里遇见十一个使徒和跟他们聚在一起的人,

24:34 saying, “The Lord has really been raised, and has appeared to Simon!”

他说: “你们为什么惊慌, 为什么心里疑惑呢?

24:39 Look at my hands and my feet, that I am I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
你们看我的手,我的脚, 就知道我是谁. 摸我看看, 灵没有骨, 没有肉; 你们看, 我是有的. ”

24:40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
说了这话, 就把手和脚给他们看.

24:41 And while they were still disbelieving because of joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Do you have anything to eat here?”

24:43 and he took it and ate it in front of them.
他接过来, 在他们面前吃了.

24:44 And he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything that is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”
主对他们说: “这就是我从前与你们同在的时候, 对你们说过的话: 摩西的律法,先知书和诗篇上所记关于我的一切事, 都必定应验. ”

24:45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,
于是他开他们的心窍, 使他们明白圣经;

24:46 and said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,
又说: “经上这样记着: 基督必须受害, 第三天从死人中复活.

24:47 and repentance and the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
人要奉他的名, 传讲悔改与赦罪的道, 从耶路撒冷起, 直传到万国.

24:48 You are witnesses of these things.
你们就是这些事的见证.

24:49 And behold, I am sending out what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
我要使我父的应许临到你们身上, 你们当在城里等候, 直到得着从上面来的能力. ”

24:50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
主带他们出去, 到了伯大尼附近, 举手给他们祝福.

24:51 And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.
正在祝福的时候, 他就离开他们, 被接到天上去了.

24:52 And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
他们就敬拜他, 欢欢喜喜地回到耶路撒冷,

24:53 And they were continually in the temple courts praising God.
常常在殿里称颂神.

John (约翰福音)

John - Chapter 1

1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
太初有道, 道与神同在, 道就是神.

1:2 This one was in the beginning with God.
这道太初与神同在.

1:3 All things came into being through him, and apart from him not one thing came into being that has come into being.
万有是借着他造的; 凡被造的, 没有一样不是借着他造的.

1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
在他里面有生命, (有些抄本第3,4节或译: “万有是借着他造的, 没有一样不是借着他造的; 凡被造的, 都在他里面有生命......”)这生命就是人的光.

1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
光照在黑暗中, 黑暗不能胜过光.

1:6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.
有一个人, 名叫约翰, 是神所差来的.

1:7 This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.
他来是要作见证, 就是为光作见证, 使众人借着他可以相信.

1:8 That one was not the light, but came in order that he could testify about the light.
他不是那光, 而是要为那光作见证.

1:9 The true light, who gives light to every person, was coming into the world.
那光来到世界, 是普照世人的真光.

1:10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, and the world did not recognize him.
他在世界, 世界也是借着他造的, 世界却不认识他.

1:11 He came to his own things, and his own people did not receive him.
他到自己的地方来, 自己的人却不接受他.

1:12 But as many as received him—to those who believe in his name—he gave to them authority to become children of God,
凡接受他的, 就是信他名的人, 他就赐给他们权利, 成为神的儿女.

1:13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a husband, but of God.
他们不是从血统生的, 不是从肉身的意思生的, 也不是从人意生的, 而是从神生的.

1:14 And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.
道成了肉身, 住在我们中间, 满有恩典和真理. 我们见过他的荣光, 正是从父而来的独生子的荣光.

1:15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This one was he about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ ”
约翰为他作见证, 大声说: “这一位就是我所说的: ‘那在我以后来的, 位分比我高, 因为他本来是在我以前的. ’”

1:16 For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace.
从他的丰盛里我们都领受了, 而且恩上加恩.

1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.
律法是借着摩西颁布的, 恩典和真理却是借着耶稣基督而来的.

1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father—that one has made him known.
从来没有人见过神, 只有在父怀里的独生子把他彰显出来.

1:19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, “Who are you?”
以下是约翰的见证: 犹太人从耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人到约翰那里, 问他: “你是谁? ”

1:20 And he confessed—and he did not deny, and confessed—“I am not the Christ!”
约翰并不否认, 坦白地承认说: “我不是基督. ”

1:21 And they asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not!” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No!”
他们又问: “那么你是谁? 是以利亚吗? ”他说: “我不是. ”“是那位先知吗? ”他回答: “不是. ”

1:22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
于是他们再问: “你是谁? 好让我们回复派我们来的人. 你说你自己是谁? ”

1:23 He said, “I am ‘the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of the Lord,” ’ just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
他说: “我就是在旷野呼喊者的声音: ‘修直主的路! ’正如以赛亚先知所说的. ”

1:24 (And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
这些人是法利赛人派来的.

1:25 And they asked him and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
他们问约翰: “你既然不是基督, 不是以利亚, 也不是那位先知, 那么你为什么施洗呢? ”

1:26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. In your midst stands one whom you do not know—
约翰回答: “我是用水施洗, 但有一位站在你们中间, 是你们不认识的;

1:27 the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!”
他是在我以后来的, 我就是给他解鞋带也不配. ”

1:28 These things took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
这些事发生在约旦河东的伯大尼, 约翰施洗的地方.

1:29 On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
第二天, 约翰见耶稣迎面而来, 就说: “看哪, 神的羊羔, 是除去世人的罪孽的!

1:30 This one is the one about whom I said, ‘After me is coming a man who is ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
这一位就是我所说的: ‘有一个人, 是在我以后来的, 位分比我高, 因为他本来是在我以前的. ’

1:31 And I did not know him, but in order that he could be revealed to Israel, because of this I came baptizing with water.”
我本来不认识他, 但为了要把他显明给以色列人, 因此我来用水施洗. ”

1:32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him.
约翰又作见证说: “我曾看见圣灵, 好像鸽子从天上降下来, 停留在他的身上.

1:33 And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, ‘The one upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him—this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
我本来不认识他, 但那差我来用水施洗的对我说: ‘你看见圣灵降下来, 停留在谁身上, 谁就是用圣灵施洗的. ’

1:34 And I have seen and testify that this one is the Chosen One of God.
我看见了, 就作见证说: ‘这就是神的儿子. ’”

1:35 On the next day again John was standing there, and two of his disciples,
过了一天, 约翰和他的两个门徒又站在那里.

1:36 and looking at Jesus as he was walking by, he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!”
约翰看见耶稣走过的时候, 就说: “看哪, 神的羊羔! ”

1:37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
那两个门徒听见他的话, 就跟从了耶稣.

1:38 And Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means when translated “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
耶稣转过身来, 看见他们跟着, 就问: “你们要什么? ”他们说: “拉比, 你在哪里住? ”(“拉比”的意思就是“老师”. )

1:39 He said to them, “Come and you will see!” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day (it was about the tenth hour).
他说: “你们来看吧! ”于是他们就去看他所住的地方. 那一天他们就和耶稣住在一起; 那时大约是下午四点钟.

1:40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed him.
听了约翰的话而跟从耶稣的那两个人, 一个是西门．彼得的弟弟安得烈.

1:41 This one first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is translated “Christ”).
他先找到自己的哥哥西门, 告诉他: “我们遇见弥赛亚了! ”(“弥赛亚”的意思就是“基督”. )

1:42 He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is interpreted “Peter”).
安得烈就带他到耶稣那里. 耶稣定睛看着他, 说: “你是约翰的儿子西门, 你要称为矶法. ”(“矶法”翻译出来就是“彼得”. )

1:43 On the next day he wanted to depart for Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me!”
再过一天, 耶稣决定往加利利去; 他遇见腓力, 就对他说: “来跟从我! ”

1:44 (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)
腓力是伯赛大人, 与安得烈和彼得同乡.

1:45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets wrote about—Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!”
腓力找到拿但业, 告诉他: “摩西在律法书上所写的, 和众先知所记的那位, 我们已经遇见了, 他就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣. ”

1:46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see!”
拿但业说: “拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗? ”腓力说: “你来看! ”

1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Look! A true Israelite in whom is no deceit!”
耶稣看见拿但业向他走过来, 就论到他说: “看哪, 这的确是个以色列人, 他心里没有诡诈. ”

1:48 Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
拿但业问他: “你怎么认识我呢? ”耶稣回答: “腓力还没有招呼你, 你在无花果树下的时候, 我就看见你了. ”

1:49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the king of Israel!”
拿但业说: “拉比, 你是神的儿子, 你是以色列的王! ”

1:50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
耶稣说: “因为我告诉你‘我看见你在无花果树下’, 你就信了吗? 你还要看见比这些更大的事. ”

1:51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly I say to all of you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
又对他说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 你们要看见天开了, 神的众使者在人子的身上, 上去下来. ”

John - Chapter 2

2:1 And on the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
第三天, 在加利利的迦拿有婚筵, 耶稣的母亲在那里;

2:2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
耶稣和门徒也被邀请参加婚筵.

2:3 And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine!”
酒用尽了, 耶稣的母亲对他说: “他们没有酒了. ”

2:4 And Jesus said to her, “What does your concern have to do with me, woman? My hour has not yet come.”
耶稣说: “母亲(“母亲”原文作“妇人”), 我跟你有什么关系呢? 我的时候还没有到. ”

2:5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it!”
他母亲告诉仆人说: “他吩咐你们什么, 就作什么. ”

2:6 Now six stone water jars were set there, in accordance with the ceremonial cleansing of the Jews, each holding two or three measures.
在那里有六口石缸, 每口可盛两三桶水, 是为犹太人行洁净礼用的.

2:7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the brim.
耶稣吩咐仆人: “把缸都倒满水! ”他们就倒满了, 直到缸口.

2:8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head steward. So they took it.
耶稣又吩咐他们: “现在舀出来, 送给筵席的总管! ”他们就送去了.

2:9 Now when the head steward tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it was from—but the servants who had drawn the water knew—the head steward summoned the bridegroom
总管尝了那水变的酒, 不知道是从哪里来的, 只有舀水的仆人知道. 总管就叫新郎来,

2:10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
对他说: “人人都是先摆上好酒, 等到亲友喝够了, 才摆上次等的, 你倒把好酒留到现在. ”

2:11 This beginning of signs Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
这是耶稣所行的第一件神迹, 是在加利利的迦拿行的. 他显出了自己的荣耀, 他的门徒就信了他.

2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, and his mother and brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
这事以后, 耶稣和母亲,弟弟,门徒, 都下到迦百农去, 在那里住了没有几天.

2:13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
犹太人的逾越节近了, 耶稣就上耶路撒冷去.

2:14 And he found in the temple courts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated.
他在圣殿的外院里看见有卖牛羊鸽子的, 和坐在那里兑换银钱的,

2:15 And he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple courts, both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
就用绳索做了一条鞭子, 把众人连牛带羊都从外院赶出去, 倒掉兑换银钱的人的钱, 推翻他们的桌子;

2:16 And to the ones selling the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
又对卖鸽子的说: “把这些东西搬出去, 不要把我父的殿当作巿场. ”

2:17 His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
他的门徒就想起经上记着: “我为你的殿心中迫切, 如同火烧. ”

2:18 So the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign do you show to us, because you are doing these things?”
犹太人就问他: “你可以显什么神迹给我们看, 证明你有权作这些事呢? ”

2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up!”
耶稣回答: “你们拆毁这殿, 我三天之内要把它建造起来. ”

2:20 Then the Jews said, “This temple has been under construction forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?”
犹太人说: “这殿建了四十六年, 你三天之内就能把它建造起来吗? ”

2:21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
但耶稣所说的殿, 就是他的身体.

2:22 So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.
所以当耶稣从死人中复活以后, 门徒想起了他说过这话, 就信了圣经和耶稣所说的话.

2:23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name because they saw his signs which he was doing.
耶稣在耶路撒冷过逾越节的时候, 许多人看见他所行的神迹, 就信了他的名.

2:24 But Jesus himself did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people,
耶稣却不信任他们, 因为他知道所有的人,

2:25 and because he did not need anyone to testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
也不需要谁指证人是怎样的, 因为他知道人心里存的是什么.

John - Chapter 3

3:1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
有一个法利赛人, 名叫尼哥德慕, 是犹太人的官长.

3:2 This man came to him at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him.”
他夜间来到耶稣那里, 对他说: “拉比, 我们知道你是从神那里来的教师, 因为如果没有神同在, 你所行的这些神迹, 就没有人能行. ”

3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
耶稣回答: “我实实在在告诉你, 人若不重生, 就不能见神的国. ”

3:4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is an old man? He is not able to enter into his mother’s womb for the second time and be born, can he?”
尼哥德慕说: “人老了, 怎能重生呢? 难道他能再进母腹生出来吗? ”

3:5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
耶稣回答: “我实实在在告诉你, 人若不是从水和圣灵生的, 就不能进神的国.

3:6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
从肉身生的就是肉身, 从灵生的就是灵.

3:7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you to be born from above.’
你不要因为我对你说‘你们必须重生’而感到希奇.

3:8 The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
风随意而吹, 你听见它的响声, 却不知道它从哪里来, 往哪里去; 凡从圣灵生的, 也是这样. ”

3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, “How can these things be?”
尼哥德慕说: “怎能有这事呢? ”

3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and you do not understand these things?
耶稣说: “你是以色列人的教师, 还不明白这事吗?

3:11 Truly, truly I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony!
我实实在在告诉你, 我们知道的, 才讲论; 见过的, 就作证, 然而你们却不接受我们的见证.

3:12 If I tell you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
我对你们讲地上的事, 你们尚且不信, 如果讲天上的事, 怎能相信呢?

3:13 And no one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
除了那从天上降下来的人子(有些抄本作“除了那从天上降下来仍旧在天上的人子”), 没有人升过天.

3:14 And just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, thus it is necessary that the Son of Man be lifted up,
摩西在旷野怎样把铜蛇举起, 人子也必照样被举起来,

3:15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.”
使所有信他的人都得永生.

3:16 For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.
“神爱世人, 甚至把他的独生子赐给他们, 叫一切信他的, 不至灭亡, 反得永生.

3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him.
因为神差他的儿子到世上来, 不是要定世人的罪, 而是要使世人借着他得救.

3:18 The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
信他的, 不被定罪; 不信的, 罪已经定了, 因为他不信神独生子的名.

3:19 And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
光来到世上, 世人因为自己的行为邪恶, 不爱光倒爱黑暗, 定他们罪的原因, 就在这里.

3:20 For everyone who practices evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.
凡作恶的都恨光, 不来接近光, 免得他的恶行暴露出来.

3:21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God.
凡行真理的, 就来接近光, 好显明他所作的都是靠着神而作的. ”

3:22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.
这事以后, 耶稣和门徒来到犹太地, 他和他们住在那里, 并且施洗.

3:23 Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and they were coming and were being baptized.
约翰也在靠近撒冷的艾嫩施洗, 因为那里水多; 众人都去受洗.

3:24 (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
那时约翰还没有入狱.

3:25 So a dispute occurred on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew concerning purification.
约翰的门徒和一个犹太人为洁净礼发生辩论.

3:26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified—look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!”
他们来到约翰那里, 对他说: “拉比, 你看, 从前和你在约旦河东, 你为他作见证的那一位, 他也在施洗, 众人都到他那里去了. ”

3:27 John answered and said, “A man can receive not one thing unless it is granted to him from heaven!
约翰回答: “除了从天上赐下来给他的, 人就不能得到什么.

3:28 You yourselves testify about me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am sent before that one.’
你们自己可以为我作证: 我曾说, 我不是基督, 不过是奉差遣作他的先锋的.

3:29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine is complete.
娶新娘的是新郎. 新郎的好友站在那里听着, 听见新郎的声音就非常喜乐. 因此, 我这喜乐满溢了!

3:30 It is necessary for that one to increase, but for me to decrease.”
他必兴旺, 我必衰微.

3:31 The one who comes from above is over all. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all.
“那从天上来的, 是在万有之上; 从地上来的, 是属于地, 所讲的也是属于地. 那从天上来的, 是超越万有之上.

3:32 What he has seen and heard, this he testifies, and no one accepts his testimony.
他把所见所闻的见证出来, 可是没有人接受他的见证.

3:33 The one who accepts his testimony has attested that God is true.
那接受他的见证的, 就确认神是真的.

3:34 For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit by measure.
神所差来的那一位讲神的话, 因为神把圣灵无限地赐给他.

3:35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
父爱子, 已经把万有交在他手里.

3:36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life—but the wrath of God remains on him.
信子的, 有永生; 不信从子的, 必不得见永生, 神的震怒却常在他身上. ”

John - Chapter 4

4:1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒和施洗比约翰更多

4:2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples),
(其实不是耶稣亲自施洗, 而是他的门徒施洗),

4:3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee.
就离开了犹太, 再往加利利去.

4:4 And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
他必须经过撒玛利亚.

4:5 Now he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
于是到了撒玛利亚的一座城, 名叫叙加; 这城靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地.

4:6 And Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, because he had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.
在那里有雅各井. 耶稣因为旅途疲倦了, 就坐在井旁; 那时大约正午.

4:7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me water to drink.”
有一个撒玛利亚妇人来打水. 耶稣对她说: “请给我水喝. ”

4:8 (For his disciples had gone away into the town so that they could buy food.)
那时, 他的门徒都进城买食物去了.

4:9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How do you, being a Jew, ask from me water to drink, since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
撒玛利亚妇人对耶稣说: “你是犹太人, 怎么向我, 一个撒玛利亚妇人要水喝呢? ”(原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人不相往来. )

4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
耶稣回答她: “你若知道神的恩赐, 和对你说‘请给我水喝’的是谁, 你必早已求他, 他也必早把活水赐给你了. ”

4:11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?
妇人说: “先生, 你没有打水的器具, 井又深, 你从哪里得活水呢?

4:12 You are not greater than our father Jacob, are you, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his livestock?”
我们的祖先雅各把这口井留给我们, 他自己和子孙以及牲畜都喝这井的水, 难道你比他还大吗? ”

4:13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.
耶稣回答: “凡喝这水的, 还要再渴;

4:14 But whoever drinks of this water which I will give to him will never be thirsty for eternity, but the water which I will give to him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
人若喝我所赐的水, 就永远不渴. 我所赐的水要在他里面成为涌流的泉源, 直涌到永生. ”

4:15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw water!”
妇人说: “先生, 请把这水赐给我, 使我不渴, 也不用来这里打水. ”

4:16 He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”
耶稣说: “你去, 叫你的丈夫, 然后回到这里来. ”

4:17 The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have said rightly, ‘I do not have a husband,’
妇人对他说: “我没有丈夫. ”耶稣说: “你说‘没有丈夫’是不错的.

4:18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you have now is not your husband; this you have said truthfully!”
你以前有五个丈夫, 现在有的并不是你的丈夫; 你说这话是真的. ”

4:19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
妇人说: “先生, 我看出你是先知.

4:20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.”
我们的祖先在这山上敬拜神, 而你们却说, 敬拜的地方必须在耶路撒冷. ”

4:21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
耶稣说: “妇人, 你应当信我, 时候将到, 那时你们敬拜父, 不在这山上, 也不在耶路撒冷.

4:22 You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
你们敬拜你们所不知道的, 我们却敬拜我们所知道的, 因为救恩是从犹太人出来的.

4:23 But an hour is coming—and now is here—when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers.
然而时候将到, 现在就是了, 那用心灵按真理敬拜父的, 才是真正敬拜的人; 因为父在寻找这样敬拜他的人.

4:24 God is spirit, and the ones who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
神是灵, 敬拜他的必须用心灵按真理敬拜他. ”

4:25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (the one called Christ); “whenever that one comes, he will proclaim all things to us.”
妇人说: “我知道那称为基督的弥赛亚要来; 他来了, 要把一切都告诉我们. ”

4:26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.
耶稣说: “我这现在跟你说话的就是他. ”

4:27 And at this point his disciples came, and they were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do you seek?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”
正在这时候, 门徒回来了, 见耶稣和一个妇人说话, 就很希奇; 但是没有人问: “你要什么? ”或说: “你为什么跟她说话? ”

4:28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into the town and said to the people,
那妇人撇下了她的水罐, 进到城里去, 对众人说:

4:29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I have ever done! Perhaps this one is the Christ?”
“你们来, 看看一个人, 他把我所作的一切都说出来, 难道这人就是基督吗? ”

4:30 They went out from the town and were coming to him.
众人就出城, 往耶稣那里去.

4:31 In the meanwhile the disciples were asking him, saying, “Rabbi, eat something!”
当时, 门徒对耶稣说: “拉比, 请吃. ”

4:32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
耶稣说: “我有食物吃, 是你们所不知道的. ”

4:33 So the disciples began to say to one another, “No one brought him anything to eat, did they?”
门徒就彼此说: “难道有人拿东西给他吃了吗? ”

4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is that I do the will of the one who sent me and complete his work.
耶稣说: “我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意, 并且完成他的工作.

4:35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months and the harvest comes’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
你们不是说‘还有四个月才到收获的时候’吗? 我告诉你们, 举目向田观看, 庄稼已经熟了, 可以收割了.

4:36 The one who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, in order that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.
收割的人得到工资, 也积储五谷直到永生, 使撒种的和收割的一同快乐.

4:37 For in this instance the saying is true, ‘It is one who sows and another who reaps.’
‘这人撒种, 那人收割’, 这话是真的.

4:38 I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have worked, and you have entered into their work.”
我派你们去收割你们所没有劳苦的; 别人劳苦, 你们却享受他们劳苦的成果. ”

4:39 Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
因着那妇人作见证的话: “他把我所作的一切都说出来了”, 那城里就有许多撒玛利亚人信了耶稣.

4:40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. And he stayed there two days.
于是他们来到耶稣那里, 求他和他们同住, 耶稣就在那里住了两天.

4:41 And many more believed because of his word,
因着耶稣的话, 信他的人就更多了.

4:42 And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of what you said do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!”
他们就对那妇人说: “现在我们信, 不再是因为你的话, 而是因为我们亲自听见了, 知道这位真是世人的救主. ”

4:43 And after the two days he departed from there into Galilee.
两天之后, 耶稣离开那里, 往加利利去.

4:44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own homeland.
耶稣自己说过: “先知在本乡是不受尊敬的. ”

4:45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, because they had seen all the things he had done in Jerusalem at the feast (for they themselves had also come to the feast).
耶稣到了加利利的时候, 加利利人都欢迎他, 因为他们曾经上耶路撒冷去过节, 见过他所行的一切.

4:46 Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was at Capernaum a certain royal official whose son was sick.
耶稣又到了加利利的迦拿, 就是他变水为酒的地方. 有一个大臣, 他的儿子在迦百农患病.

4:47 This man, when he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
他听见耶稣从犹太到了加利利, 就来见他, 求他下去医治他的儿子, 因为他的儿子快要死了.

4:48 So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe!”
耶稣对他说: “你们若看不见神迹奇事, 总是不肯信. ”

4:49 The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
大臣说: “先生, 求你趁我的孩子还没有死就下去吧! ”

4:50 Jesus said to him, “Go, your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he departed.
耶稣告诉他: “回去吧, 你的儿子好了. ”那人信耶稣对他说的话, 就回去了.

4:51 Now as he was going down, his slaves met him, saying that his child was alive.
正下去的时候, 他的仆人迎着他走来, 说他的孩子好了.

4:52 So he inquired from them the hour at which he had gotten better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
他就向仆人查问孩子是什么时候好转的. 他们告诉他: “昨天下午一点钟, 热就退了. ”

4:53 So the father knew that it was that same hour at which Jesus said to him, “Your son will live,” and he himself believed, and his whole household.
这父亲就知道, 那正是耶稣告诉他“你的儿子好了”的时候, 他自己和全家就信了.

4:54 Now this is again a second sign Jesus performed when he came from Judea into Galilee.
这是耶稣从犹太回到加利利以后所行的第二件神迹.

John - Chapter 5

5:1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
这些事以后, 到了犹太人的一个节期, 耶稣就上耶路撒冷去.

5:2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool called in Aramaic Bethzatha, which has five porticoes.
在耶路撒冷靠近羊门有一个水池, 希伯来话叫作毕士大, 池边有五处走廊.

5:3 In these were lying a large number of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed.
在那里躺着许多病人, 有瞎眼的,瘸腿的和瘫痪的.

5:4
(有些抄本有以下一段: “他们等候水动, 4因为有主的使者按时下去搅动池水, 水动之后, 谁先下去, 无论什么病, 必得痊愈. ”)

5:5 And a certain man was there who had been thirty-eight years in his sickness.
那里有一个人, 病了三十八年.

5:6 Jesus, when he saw this one lying there and knew that he had been sick a long time already, said to him, “Do you want to become well?”
耶稣看见他躺着, 知道他病了很久, 就问他: “你要痊愈吗? ”

5:7 The one who was sick answered him, “Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But while I am coming, another goes down before me.”
病人回答: “先生, 水动的时候, 没有人把我放在池里; 自己想去的时候, 总是给别人抢先. ”

5:8 Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!”
耶稣对他说: “起来, 拿着你的褥子走吧. ”

5:9 And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk. (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)
那人立刻痊愈, 就拿起褥子走了. 那天正是安息日.

5:10 So the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!”
因此犹太人对那医好了的人说: “今天是安息日, 你拿着褥子是不可以的. ”

5:11 But he answered them, “The one who made me well—that one said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’ ”
他却回答: “那使我痊愈的对我说: ‘拿起你的褥子走吧’. ”

5:12 So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk?’ ”
他们就问: “那对你说‘拿起来走吧’的是谁? ”

5:13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn while a crowd was in the place.
那医好了的人不知道他是谁, 因为那里人很多, 耶稣已经避开了.

5:14 After these things Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you.”
后来, 耶稣在殿里遇见那人, 对他说: “你已经痊愈了, 不可再犯罪, 免得招来更大的祸患. ”

5:15 The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well.
那人就去告诉犹太人, 使他痊愈的就是耶稣.

5:16 And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
从此犹太人就迫害耶稣, 因为他常常在安息日作这些事.

5:17 But he answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
耶稣却对他们说: “我父作工直到现在, 我也作工. ”

5:18 So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.
因此犹太人就更想杀耶稣, 因为他不但破坏安息日, 而且称神为自己的父, 把自己与神当作平等.

5:19 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these things also the Son does likewise.
耶稣又对他们说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 子靠着自己不能作什么, 只能作他看见父所作的; 因为父所作的事, 子也照样作.

5:20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished.
父爱子, 把自己所作的一切指示给他看, 还要把比这些更大的事指示给他看, 使你们惊奇.

5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes.
父怎样叫死人复活, 使他们得生命, 子也照样随自己的意思使人得生命.

5:22 For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
父不审判人, 却已经把审判的权柄完全交给子,

5:23 in order that all people will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
使所有的人尊敬子好像尊敬父一样. 不尊敬子的, 就是不尊敬那差他来的父.

5:24 Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
我实实在在告诉你们, 那听见我的话又信那差我来的, 就有永生, 不被定罪, 而是已经出死入生了.

5:25 “Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming—and now is here—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.
我实实在在告诉你们, 时候将到, 现在就是了, 死人要听见神儿子的声音, 听见的人就要活了.

5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.
就如父是生命的源头, 照样他也使子成为生命的源头,

5:27 And he has granted him authority to carry out judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
并且把执行审判的权柄赐给他, 因为他是人子.

5:28 “Do not be astonished at this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice
你们不要把这事看作希奇, 因为时候将到, 那时所有在坟墓里的都要听见他的声音,

5:29 and they will come out—those who have done good things to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil things to a resurrection of judgment.
并且都要出来; 行善的复活得生命, 作恶的复活被定罪.

5:30 I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
“我靠着自己不能作什么, 我怎样听见, 就怎样审判. 我的审判是公义的, 因为我不寻求自己的意思, 只求那差我来者的旨意.

5:31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
我若为自己作证, 我的见证就不真.

5:32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
然而另有一位为我作证的, 我知道他为我作的见证是真的.

5:33 You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
你们曾经派人到约翰那里, 他为真理作过见证.

5:34 (And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these things in order that you may be saved.)
我不接受从人而来的见证, 但我说这些事, 是要你们得救.

5:35 That one was the lamp which was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.
约翰是一盏点亮的灯, 你们情愿暂时在他的光中欢乐.

5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than John’s, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them—the very works which I am doing—these testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
但我有比约翰更大的见证, 因为父赐给我要我完成的工作, 就是我所要作的, 证明我是父所差来的.

5:37 And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.
差我来的父亲自为我作了见证. 他的声音, 你们从没有听过; 他的容貌, 你们从没有见过;

5:38 And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.
他的道, 你们也不放在心里, 因为你们不信他所差来的那一位.

5:39 You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.
你们研究圣经, 因为你们认为圣经中有永生, 其实为我作证的就是这圣经,

5:40 And you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
然而你们却不肯到我这里来得生命.

5:41 “I do not accept glory from people,
“我不接受从人而来的称赞;

5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
我知道你们心里没有神的爱.

5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!
我奉我父的名而来, 你们不接待我; 如果有别人以自己的名义而来, 你们倒接待他.

5:44 How are you able to believe, if you accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God?
你们彼此接受称赞, 却不寻求从独一的神而来的称赞, 怎么能信呢?

5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!
不要以为我要向父控告你们, 有一位控告你们的, 就是你们所仰赖的摩西.

5:46 For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.
你们若信摩西, 也必信我, 因为他所写的书曾论及我.

5:47 But if you do not believe that one’s writings, how will you believe my words?”
你们若不信他所写的, 怎能信我的话呢? ”

John - Chapter 6

6:1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias).
这些事以后, 耶稣渡过加利利海, 就是提比里亚海.

6:2 And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.
有一大群人, 因为看见了他在病人身上所行的神迹, 就跟随了他.

6:3 So Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down there with his disciples.
耶稣上了山, 同门徒坐在那里.

6:4 (Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.)
那时犹太人的逾越节近了.

6:5 Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people can eat?”
耶稣举目观看, 见一大群人向他走过来, 就对腓力说: “我们从哪里买饼给这些人吃呢? ”

6:6 (Now he said this to test him, because he knew what he was going to do.)
他说这话, 是要试验腓力, 因他自己早已知道要怎样作.

6:7 Philip replied to him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little.”
腓力回答: “就算二百银币买的饼, 每人分一点, 也是不够的. ”

6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,
有一个门徒, 就是西门．彼得的弟弟安得烈, 对耶稣说:

6:9 “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”
“这里有个小孩子, 带着五个大麦饼,两条鱼; 只是分给这么多人, 有什么用呢? ”

6:10 Jesus said, “Make the people recline.” (Now there was a lot of grass in the place.) So the men reclined, approximately five thousand in number.
耶稣吩咐他们: “你们叫众人坐下. ”原来那地方的草很多, 众人就坐下, 单是男人的数目约有五千.

6:11 Then Jesus took the bread, and after he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were reclining—likewise also of the fish, as much as they wanted.
耶稣拿起饼来, 祝谢了, 就分给坐着的人; 分鱼也是这样, 都是随着他们所要的.

6:12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, “Gather the remaining fragments so that nothing is lost.”
他们吃饱了之后, 耶稣对门徒说: “把剩下的零碎收拾起来, 免得浪费. ”

6:13 So they gathered them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
门徒就把众人吃剩那五个大麦饼的零碎收拾起来, 装满了十二个篮子.

6:14 Now when the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say, “This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!”
众人看见耶稣所行的神迹, 就说: “这真是那要到世上来的先知. ”

6:15 Then Jesus, because he knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.
耶稣知道群众要来强迫他作王, 就独自又退到山上去了.

6:16 Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
到了晚上, 他的门徒下到海边去.

6:17 And getting into a boat, they began to go to the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
他们上了船, 要渡海往迦百农去. 那时天已经黑了, 耶稣还没有到他们那里.

6:18 And the sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.
忽然海上起了狂风, 波浪翻腾.

6:19 Then when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
门徒摇橹约行了五六公里, 看见耶稣在海面上行走, 渐渐靠近船, 就害怕起来.

6:20 But he said to them, “It is I! Do not be afraid!”
耶稣对他们说: “是我, 不要怕. ”

6:21 So they were wanting to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.
他们这才把他接上船, 船就立刻到了他们要去的地方.

6:22 On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone.
第二天, 站在海那边的群众, 看见只有一只小船留在那里, 并且知道耶稣没有和他的门徒一同上船, 门徒是自己去的;

6:23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
不过有几只从提比里亚来的船停在那里, 靠近他们在主祝谢以后吃饼的地方.

6:24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
群众见耶稣和门徒都不在那里, 就上船往迦百农去找耶稣.

6:25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
他们在对岸找到了耶稣, 就问他: “拉比, 你几时到这里来的? ”

6:26 Jesus replied to them and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied!
耶稣回答: “我实实在在告诉你们, 你们找我, 不是因为看见了神迹, 而是因为吃了饼又吃饱了.

6:27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one.”
不要为那必朽坏的食物操劳, 却要为那存到永生的食物操劳, 就是人子所要赐给你们的, 因为人子是父神所印证的. ”

6:28 So they said to him, “What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?”
众人又问他: “我们应该作什么, 才算是作神的工作呢? ”

6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God: that you believe in the one whom that one sent.”
耶稣回答: “信神所差来的, 就是作神的工了. ”

6:30 So they said to him, “Then what sign will you perform, so that we can see it and believe you? What will you do?
于是他们就说: “你要行什么神迹, 让我们看了就信你呢? 你到底能作什么呢?

6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’
我们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪, 正如经上所记: ‘他把从天上来的食物赐给他们吃. ’”

6:32 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven!
耶稣对他们说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 不是摩西把那从天上来的食物赐给你们, 而是我父把天上来的真食物赐给你们;

6:33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
因为神的食物就是从天上降下来, 把生命赐给世人的那一位. ”

6:34 So they said to him, “Sir, always give us this bread!”
他们对耶稣说: “主啊, 求你常把这食物赐给我们. ”

6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty again.
耶稣说: “我就是生命的食物, 到我这里来的, 必定不饿; 信我的, 永远不渴.

6:36 But I said to you that you have seen me and do not believe.
但我告诉你们, 你们虽然见了我, 还是不信.

6:37 Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out,
凡是父赐给我的人, 必到我这里来; 到我这里来的, 我决不丢弃他,

6:38 because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.
因为我从天上降下来, 不是要行自己的意思, 而是要行那差我来者的旨意.

6:39 Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose any of them, but raise them up on the last day.
那差我来者的旨意就是: 他所赐给我的人, 我连一个也不失落, 并且在末日我要使他们复活.

6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
因为我父的旨意, 是要使所有看见了子而信的人有永生, 并且在末日我要使他们复活. ”

6:41 Now the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”
犹太人因为耶稣说“我是从天上降下来的食物”, 就纷纷议论他.

6:42 and they were saying, “Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
他们说: “这不是约瑟的儿子耶稣吗? 他的父母我们不都认识吗? 他现在怎么说‘我是从天上降下来的’呢? ”

6:43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves!
耶稣回答: “你们不要彼此议论.

6:44 No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
如果不是差我来的父吸引人, 就没有人能到我这里来; 到我这里来的, 在末日我要使他复活.

6:45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.
先知书上记着: ‘众人都必受神的教导. ’凡听见从父那里来的教训而又学习的, 必到我这里来.

6:46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God—this one has seen the Father.)
这不是说有人见过父; 只有从神那里来的那一位, 他才见过父.

6:47 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life.
我实实在在告诉你们, 信的人有永生.

6:48 I am the bread of life.
我就是生命的食物,

6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
你们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪, 还是死了.

6:50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die.
这是从天上降下来的食物, 使人吃了就不死.

6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
我就是从天上降下来生命的食物, 人若吃了这食物, 就必活到永远. 我要赐的食物就是我的肉, 是为了世人的生命而赐的. ”

6:52 So the Jews began to quarrel among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
于是, 犹太人彼此争论, 说: “这个人怎能把他的肉给我们吃呢? ”

6:53 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves!
耶稣就对他们说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 你们若不吃人子的肉, 不喝人子的血, 就没有生命在你们里面.

6:54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
吃我肉,喝我血的, 就有永生, 在末日我要使他复活;

6:55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
因为我的肉是真正的食物, 我的血是真正的饮料.

6:56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me and I in him.
吃我肉,喝我血的人, 就住在我里面, 我也住在他里面.

6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also the one who eats me—that one will live because of me.
正如永活的父差遣了我, 我也因父活着; 照样, 吃我肉的人也必因我而活.

6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”
这就是从天上降下来的食物, 不像吗哪, 你们的祖宗吃过, 还是死了; 吃这食物的, 必活到永远. ”

6:59 He said these things while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
这些话是耶稣在迦百农会堂里教导人的时候说的.

6:60 Thus many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, “This saying is hard! Who can understand it?”
他的门徒中, 有许多人听了, 就说: “这话很难, 谁能接受呢? ”

6:61 But Jesus, because he knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended?
耶稣心里知道门徒为了这事议论纷纷, 就对他们说: “这话使你们动摇吗?

6:62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?
如果你们看见人子升到他原来所在的地方, 又怎样呢?

6:63 The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
使人活的是灵, 肉体是无济于事的. 我对你们所说的话是灵,是生命.

6:64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)
然而你们中间却有不信的人. ”原来从起初耶稣就知道那些不信的是谁, 那要把他出卖的又是谁.

6:65 And he said, “Because of this I said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.”
耶稣跟着说: “所以我对你们说过, 如果不是父所赐的, 没有人能到我这里来. ”

6:66 For this reason many of his disciples drew back and were not walking with him any longer.
从此, 他的门徒中有许多人退去了, 不再与他同行.

6:67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”
于是耶稣对十二门徒说: “你们也想离去吗? ”

6:68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
西门．彼得回答: “主啊, 你有永生之道, 我们还跟从谁呢?

6:69 And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
我们已经相信, 并且知道你是神的圣者. ”

6:70 Jesus replied to them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is the devil?”
耶稣说: “我不是拣选了你们十二个人吗? 但你们中间有一个是魔鬼. ”

6:71 (Now he was speaking about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, because this one—one of the twelve—was going to betray him.)
耶稣这话是指着加略人西门的儿子犹大说的, 因为他虽然是十二门徒之一, 却要出卖耶稣.

John - Chapter 7

7:1 And after these things Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
这事以后, 耶稣周游加利利, 不愿在犹太往来, 因为犹太人想要杀他.

7:2 Now the feast of the Jews—the feast of Tabernacles—was near.
犹太人的住棚节快到了,

7:3 So his brothers said to him, “Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.
耶稣的弟弟就对他说: “你应当离开这里上犹太去, 好让你的门徒也可以看见你所行的事;

7:4 For no one does anything in secret and yet he himself desires to be publicly recognized. If you are doing these things, reveal yourself to the world!”
因为没有人想引人注目, 却在暗处行事的. 你既然行这些事, 就应该向世人显明自己. ”

7:5 (For not even his brothers believed in him.)
原来连他的弟弟也不信他.

7:6 So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
耶稣就对他们说: “我的时候还没有到, 你们的时候却常常是方便的.

7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.
世人不能恨你们, 却憎恨我, 因为我指证他们的行为是邪恶的.

7:8 You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because my time is not yet completed.
你们上去过节吧! 我现在不上去, 因为我的时机还没有成熟. ”

7:9 And when he had said these things, he remained in Galilee.
他说了这些话以后, 仍然住在加利利.

7:10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but (as it were) in secret.
然而, 他的弟弟上去过节以后, 他也上去过节, 不是公开地去, 却是暗中地去.

7:11 So the Jews were looking for him at the feast, and were saying, “Where is he?”
过节的时候, 犹太人寻找耶稣, 说: “那人在哪里呢? ”

7:12 And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, “He is a good man,” but others were saying, “No, but he deceives the crowd.”
群众因他纷纷议论, 有的说: “他是好人. ”有的说: “不, 他是欺骗众人的. ”

7:13 However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.
但没有人敢公开讲论他, 因为怕犹太人.

7:14 Now when the feast was already half over, Jesus went to the temple courts and began to teach.
节期当中, 耶稣上圣殿去教导人.

7:15 Then the Jews were astonished, saying, “How does this man possess knowledge, because he has not been taught?”
犹太人就希奇, 说: “这个人没有学过, 怎会通晓经书呢? ”

7:16 So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is from the one who sent me.
耶稣说: “我的教训不是我自己的, 而是出于那差我来的.

7:17 If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.
人若愿意遵行神的旨意, 就会知道这教训是出于神, 还是我凭着自己的意思说的.

7:18 The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him—this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
那凭着自己的意思说的, 是求自己的荣誉; 但那寻求差他来者的荣耀的, 才是真诚的人, 在他里面没有不义.

7:19 Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you carries out the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
摩西不是曾经把律法传给你们吗? 你们竟然没有一个人遵行律法. 你们为什么想要杀我呢? ”

7:20 The crowd replied, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”
群众回答: “你是鬼附的, 谁想要杀你呢? ”

7:21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I performed one work, and you are all astonished.
耶稣说: “我行了一件事, 你们都以为希奇.

7:22 Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
摩西曾经把割礼传给你们(其实割礼不是从摩西开始的, 而是从列祖开始的), 因此, 你们在安息日也给人行割礼.

7:23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
如果人在安息日行割礼, 为的是要遵守摩西的律法, 那么我在安息日使一个人痊愈, 你们就向我生气吗?

7:24 Do not judge according to outward appearance, but judge according to righteous judgment!”
不要按外貌判断人, 总要公公平平地判断人. ”

7:25 Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say, “Is this not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
当时, 有些耶路撒冷人说: “这不是他们想要杀的人吗?

7:26 And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?
你看, 他还在公开地讲话, 竟然没有人对他说什么, 难道官长们真的认为这个人就是基督吗?

7:27 Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes—no one knows where he is from!”
可是我们知道这个人是从哪里来的, 只是基督来的时候, 没有人知道他是从哪里来的! ”

7:28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple courts, teaching and saying, “You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
当时耶稣在殿里教导人, 大声说: “你们以为认识我, 也知道我从哪里来, 其实我不是凭着自己的意思来的, 但那差我来的是真实的, 你们却不认识他.

7:29 I know him, because I am from him and he sent me.”
然而我认识他, 因为我从他那里来, 也是他差我来的. ”

7:30 So they were seeking to seize him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
于是他们想逮捕他, 只是没有人下手, 因为他的时候还没有到.

7:31 But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, will he?”
群众中有许多人信了他. 他们说: “基督来的时候, 他所行的神迹, 能比这人所行的更多吗? ”

7:32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order to take him into custody .
法利赛人听见群众纷纷议论这些关于耶稣的事, 祭司长和法利赛人就派差役去逮捕耶稣.

7:33 Then Jesus said, “Yet a little time I am with you, and I am going to the one who sent me.
于是耶稣说: “我跟你们在一起的时候不多了, 我要回到那差我来的那里去.

7:34 You will seek me and will not find me, and where I am, you cannot come.”
你们要寻找我, 却找不着; 我所在的地方, 你们是不能去的. ”

7:35 So the Jews said to one another, “Where is this one going to go, that we will not find him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?
犹太人彼此说: “这个人要到哪里去, 使我们找不着他呢? 难道他要到散居在希腊人中的犹太人那里, 去教导希腊人吗?

7:36 What is this saying that he said, ‘You will seek me and will not find me, and where I am, you cannot come’?”
他说‘你们要寻找我, 却找不着; 我所在的地方, 你们是不能去的’这话, 是什么意思呢? ”

7:37 Now on the last day of the feast—the great day—Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink,
节期的最后一天, 就是最隆重的那一天, 耶稣站着高声说: “人若渴了, 可以到我这里来喝!

7:38 the one who believes in me. Just as the scripture said, ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’ ”
信我的人, 就像圣经所说的, 从他的腹中要涌流出活水的江河来. ”

7:39 Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
他这话是指着信他的人要接受圣灵说的; 那时圣灵还没有降临, 因为耶稣还没有得着荣耀.

7:40 Then, when they heard these words, some from the crowd began to say, “This man is truly the Prophet!”
群众中有人听了这些话, 就说: “这真是‘那位先知’! ”

7:41 Others were saying, “This man is the Christ!” But others were saying, “No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, does he?
另有人说: “他是基督. ”还有人说: “基督是从加利利出来的吗?

7:42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
圣经不是说基督是大卫的后裔, 是从大卫本乡伯利恒出来的吗? ”

7:43 So there was a division in the crowd because of him.
群众因为耶稣的缘故, 就起了纷争.

7:44 And some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.
他们中间有人想逮捕耶稣, 只是没有人下手.

7:45 So the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”
差役回到祭司长和法利赛人那里. 他们就问差役: “你们为什么没有把他带来? ”

7:46 The officers replied, “Never has a man spoken like this!”
差役回答: “从来没有人像他这样讲话的! ”

7:47 Then the Pharisees replied to them, “You have not also been deceived, have you?
法利赛人说: “连你们也受了欺骗吗?

7:48 None of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?
官长或法利赛人中间有谁是信他的呢?

7:49 But this crowd who does not know the law is accursed!”
至于这群不明白律法的人, 他们是可咒诅的. ”

7:50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him previously—who was one of them—said to them,
他们当中有一个人, 就是以前来见耶稣的尼哥德慕, 对他们说:

7:51 “Our law does not condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
“如果不先听取人的口供, 查明他所作的事, 我们的律法怎能把他定罪呢? ”

7:52 They answered and said to him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you? Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!” 〚
他们回答: “你也是从加利利出来的吗? 你去考查一下, 就知道先知是不会从加利利兴起的. ”

7:53 And each one went to his own house.
于是各人都回家去了. (后期抄本才加上 7:53-8:11)

John - Chapter 8

8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
耶稣往橄榄山去.

8:2 Now early in the morning he came again to the temple courts. And all the people were coming, and he sat down and began to teach them.
黎明的时候, 他又到圣殿去, 众人都来到他那里, 他就坐下教导他们.

8:3 Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And standing her in their midst,
经学家和法利赛人带了一个行淫时被抓到的妇人来, 叫她站在中间,

8:4 they said to him, testing him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery!
就对耶稣说: “先生, 这妇人是正在犯奸淫的时候被抓到的.

8:5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”
摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死, 你怎样说呢? ”

8:6 (Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have an occasion to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with his finger on the ground, taking no notice.
他们说这话是要试探耶稣, 要找把柄来控告他. 耶稣却弯下身, 用指头在地上写字.

8:7 And when they persisted in asking him, straightening up he said to them, “The one of you without sin, let him throw the first stone at her!”
他们不住地问耶稣, 他就挺起身来, 说: “你们中间谁是没有罪的, 他就可以先拿起石头打她. ”

8:8 And bending down again, he wrote on the ground.
于是又弯下身在地上写字.

8:9 Now when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone—and the woman who was in their midst.
他们听了这话, 就从年老的开始, 一个一个地都离开了, 留下的只有耶稣和那个还站在那里的妇人.

8:10 So Jesus, straightening up and seeing no one except the woman, said to her, “Where are those accusers of yours? Does no one condemn you?”
耶稣挺起身来, 问她: “妇人, 他们在哪里? 没有人定你的罪吗? ”

8:11 And she said, “No one, Lord.” So Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.”〛
她说: “主啊! 没有. ”耶稣说: “我也不定你的罪. 走吧, 从现在起不要再犯罪了. ”

8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
耶稣又对众人说: “我是世界的光, 跟从我的, 必定不在黑暗里走, 却要得着生命的光. ”

8:13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true.”
法利赛人对他说: “你为自己作证, 你的见证不是真实的. ”

8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.
耶稣回答: “即使我为自己作证, 我的见证还是真实的, 因为我知道我从哪里来, 往哪里去, 但你们却不知道我从哪里来, 往哪里去.

8:15 You judge according to externals; I do not judge anyone.
你们按着外貌判断人, 我却不判断人.

8:16 But even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
即使我判断人, 我的判断也是正确的, 因为我不是独自一人, 而是差我来的父和我在一起.

8:17 And even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
你们的律法上也写着: ‘两个人的见证才是真的. ’

8:18 I am the one who testifies concerning myself, and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”
我为自己作证, 差我来的父也为我作证. ”

8:19 So they were saying to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus replied, “You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”
他们问: “你的父在哪里? ”耶稣回答: “你们不认识我, 也不认识我的父; 如果你们认识我, 也就认识我的父了. ”

8:20 He spoke these words by the treasury while teaching in the temple courts, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
这些话是耶稣在殿里教导人的时候, 在银库的院中说的. 当时没有人逮捕他, 因为他的时候还没有到.

8:21 So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!”
耶稣又对他们说: “我要去了, 你们要寻找我, 并且要在自己的罪中死亡; 我去的地方, 你们不能到. ”

8:22 Then the Jews began to say, “Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ ”
于是犹太人说: “他说‘我去的地方, 你们不能到’, 难道他要自杀吗? ”

8:23 And he said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.
耶稣说: “你们是从地上来的, 我是从天上来的; 你们属这世界, 我却不属这世界,

8:24 Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
所以我对你们说, 你们要在自己的罪中死亡; 你们若不信我就是‘那一位’, 就要在自己的罪中死亡. ”

8:25 So they began to say to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have been saying to you from the beginning.
他们就问: “你是谁? ”耶稣说: “我不是从起初就告诉你们吗?

8:26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and the things which I heard from him, these things I say to the world.”
关于你们, 我有许多事要说, 要判断; 但那差我来的是真实的, 我从他那里听见的, 就告诉世人. ”

8:27 (They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)
他们不明白耶稣是对他们讲论父的事.

8:28 Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these things.
所以耶稣说: “你们举起了人子以后, 必定知道我就是‘那一位’, 并且知道我不凭着自己作什么事; 我说的这些话, 是照着父所教导我的.

8:29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
那差我来的和我同在, 他没有留下我独自一人, 因为我常作他喜悦的事. ”

8:30 While he was saying these things, many believed in him.
耶稣说这些话的时候, 就有许多人信了他.

8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples,
于是耶稣对信了他的犹太人说: “你们若持守我的道, 就真是我的门徒了;

8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
你们必定认识真理, 真理必定使你们自由. ”

8:33 They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, ‘You will become free’?”
他们说: “我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 从来没有被谁奴役过, 你怎么说‘你们必得自由’呢? ”

8:34 Jesus replied to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
耶稣说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 凡犯罪的都是罪的奴隶.

8:35 And the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son remains forever.
奴隶不能永远住在家里, 唯有儿子才可以永远住在家里.

8:36 So if the son sets you free, you will be truly free.
所以, 神的儿子若使你们自由, 你们就真的得自由了.

8:37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you.
我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的后裔; 但你们想杀我, 因为你们心里不能容纳我的道.

8:38 I speak the things that I have seen with the Father; so also you do the things that you have heard from the Father.”
我所说的, 是我在父那里看见的; 但你们所作的, 却是从你们的父那里听见的. ”

8:39 They answered and said to him, “Abraham is our father!” Jesus said to them, “If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham!
他们说: “我们的祖宗是亚伯拉罕. ”耶稣说: “你们若是亚伯拉罕的子孙, 就必作亚伯拉罕所作的.

8:40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.
现在我把从神那里听见的真理告诉了你们, 你们竟然想杀我, 这不是亚伯拉罕所作的.

8:41 You are doing the deeds of your father!” They said to him, “We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!”
你们要作的, 正是你们的父要作的. ”他们说: “我们不是从淫乱生的; 我们只有一位父, 就是神. ”

8:42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.
耶稣说: “如果神是你们的父, 你们就必爱我, 因为我是从神那里来的; 我已经来到这里. 我不是凭着自己来的, 而是神差了我来.

8:43 Why do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message.
你们为什么不明白我的话呢? 因为我的道你们听不进去.

8:44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
你们是出于你们的父魔鬼, 喜欢按着你们的父的私欲行事. 他从起初就是杀人的凶手, 不守真理, 因为他心里没有真理. 他说谎是出于本性, 因为他本来就是说谎者, 也是说谎的人的父.

8:45 But because I am telling the truth, you do not believe me.
我讲真理, 你们却因此不信我.

8:46 Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me?
你们中间有谁能指证我有罪呢? 我既然讲真理, 你们为什么不信我呢?

8:47 The one who is from God listens to the words of God. Because of this you do not listen—because you are not of God.”
出于神的, 就听神的话; 你们不听, 因为你们不是出于神的. ”

8:48 The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
犹太人对耶稣说: “我们说你是撒玛利亚人, 并且是鬼附的, 不是很对吗? ”

8:49 Jesus replied, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!
耶稣回答: “我不是鬼附的. 我尊敬我的父, 你们却侮辱我.

8:50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges!
我不求自己的荣耀, 但有一位是为我求荣耀, 并且是审判人的.

8:51 Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death forever.”
我实实在在告诉你们, 人若遵守我的道, 必定永远不见死亡. ”

8:52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death forever.’
犹太人对他说: “现在我们知道你的确是鬼附的. 亚伯拉罕死了, 先知们也死了, 你还说‘人若遵守我的道, 必定永远不尝死味’,

8:53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself to be?”
难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗? 他死了, 先知们也死了; 你把自己当作什么人呢? ”

8:54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
耶稣回答: “如果我荣耀自己, 我的荣耀就算不得什么; 那使我得荣耀的是我的父, 就是你们说是你们的神的那一位.

8:55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.
可是你们不认识他, 我却认识他. 如果我说我不认识他, 我就像你们一样是说谎的; 然而我认识他, 也遵守他的道.

8:56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”
你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕, 因为可以看见我的日子就欢喜, 既然看见了, 他就很快乐. ”

8:57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
犹太人对他说: “你还不到五十岁, 怎会见过亚伯拉罕呢? ”

8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am!”
耶稣说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 亚伯拉罕出生以前, 我已经存在了. ”

8:59 Then they picked up stones in order to throw them at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple courts.
于是他们拿起石头要打他. 耶稣却躲起来, 从殿里出去了.

John - Chapter 9

9:1 And as he went away, he saw a man blind from birth.
耶稣走路的时候, 看见一个生下来就瞎眼的人.

9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
他的门徒问他: “拉比, 这人生下来就瞎眼, 是谁犯了罪? 是他呢, 还是他的父母呢? ”

9:3 Jesus replied, “Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God could be revealed in him.
耶稣回答: “不是他犯了罪, 也不是他的父母犯了罪, 而是要在他身上彰显神的作为.

9:4 It is necessary for us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work!
趁着白昼, 我们必须作那差我来者的工; 黑夜一到, 就没有人能作工了.

9:5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
我在世上的时候, 是世界的光. ”

9:6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes.
说了这话, 就吐唾沫在地上, 用唾沫和了一点泥, 把泥抹在瞎子的眼睛上,

9:7 And he said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
对他说: “你去西罗亚池洗一洗吧. ”(西罗亚就是“奉差遣”的意思. )于是他就去了, 洗完了, 走的时候, 就看见了.

9:8 Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say, “Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?”
那时, 邻居和以前常常见他讨饭的人说: “这不是那一向坐着讨饭的人吗? ”

9:9 Others were saying, “It is this man”; others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” That one was saying, “I am he!”
有的说: “是他. ”有的说: “不是他, 只是像他. ”他自己说: “是我. ”

9:10 So they began to say to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
他们就问他: “你的眼睛是怎样开的呢? ”

9:11 He replied, “The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash!’ So I went, and I washed, and I received sight.”
他回答: “那名叫耶稣的人和了一点泥, 抹在我的眼上, 对我说: ‘你去西罗亚池洗一洗吧. ’我去一洗, 就看见了. ”

9:12 And they said to him, “Where is that man?” He said, “I do not know.”
他们说: “那人在哪里? ”他说: “我不知道. ”

9:13 They brought him—the one formerly blind—to the Pharisees.
他们就把那个从前瞎眼的人带到法利赛人那里.

9:14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the Sabbath.)
耶稣和了泥开他眼睛的那一天, 正是安息日.

9:15 So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
法利赛人又问他是怎样可以看见的. 他告诉他们: “耶稣把泥抹在我的眼上, 我一洗就看见了. ”

9:16 So some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!” Others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.
有几个法利赛人说: “那个人不是从神那里来的, 因为他不守安息日. ”另外有些人说: “一个罪人怎能行这样的神迹呢? ”他们就起了纷争.

9:17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”
他们再对瞎子说: “他既然开了你的眼睛, 你说他是什么人? ”他说: “他是个先知. ”

9:18 So the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received sight, until they summoned the parents of the one who received sight.
犹太人不信他从前是瞎眼, 现在才能看见的, 于是把他的父母叫来,

9:19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this man your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
问他们: “这是你们所说那生下来就瞎眼的儿子吗? 现在他怎么又能看见呢? ”

9:20 So his parents answered and said, “We know that this man is our son, and that he was born blind.
他的父母回答: “我们知道他是我们的儿子, 生下来就瞎眼;

9:21 But how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him! He is a mature adult; he will speak for himself!”
现在他是怎样可以看见的, 我们不知道; 谁开了他的眼睛, 我们也不知道. 你们问他吧; 他已经长大成人, 可以替自己讲话了. ”

9:22 (His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already decided that if anyone should confess him to be Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
他的父母这样说, 是因为怕犹太人, 原来犹太人已经定好了, 不论谁承认耶稣是基督, 就要把那人赶出会堂.

9:23 Because of this his parents said, “He is a mature adult; ask him.”)
因此他的父母说: “他已经长大成人, 你们问他吧. ”

9:24 So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!”
于是法利赛人第二次把那从前瞎眼的人叫来, 对他说: “你应当归荣耀给神, 我们知道这人是个罪人. ”

9:25 Then that man replied, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know—that although I was blind, now I see!”
那人回答: “他是不是个罪人, 我不知道; 我只知道一件事, 就是我本来是瞎眼的, 现在能看见了. ”

9:26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
他们就问: “他向你作了什么呢? 他怎样开了你的眼睛呢? ”

9:27 He replied to them, “I told you already and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become his disciples also, do you?”
他回答: “我已经告诉你们, 但是你们不听; 为什么现在又想听呢? 你们也想成为他的门徒吗? ”

9:28 They reviled him and said, “You are his disciple! But we are disciples of Moses!
他们就骂他, 说: “你才是他的门徒, 我们是摩西的门徒.

9:29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
我们知道神曾对摩西说话; 只是这个人, 我们不知道他从哪里来. ”

9:30 The man answered and said to them, “For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes!
那人对他们说: “这就奇怪了, 他开了我的眼睛, 你们竟然不知道他从哪里来.

9:31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to this one.
我们知道神不听罪人的祈求, 只听那敬畏神, 遵行他旨意的人.

9:32 From time immemorial it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind.
自古以来, 没有人听过生下来就是瞎眼的, 有人可以开他们的眼睛.

9:33 If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!”
这人若不是从神那里来的, 他就不能作什么. ”

9:34 They answered and said to him, “You were born completely in sin, and are you attempting to teach us?” And they threw him out.
他们说: “你的确是在罪中生的, 还敢教训我们吗? ”就把他赶出去.

9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
耶稣听见他们把他赶出去, 后来遇见他的时候, 就对他说: “你信人子吗? ”

9:36 He answered and said, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?”
他说: “先生, 谁是人子, 好让我信他呢? ”

9:37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.” 〚
耶稣说: “你已经见过他, 现在跟你说话的就是他. ”

9:38 And he said, “I believe, Lord!” and he worshiped him.
那人说: “主啊, 我信. ”就向他下拜.

9:39 And Jesus said,〛 “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!”
耶稣说: “我到这世上来是为了审判, 使那看不见的能够看见, 能看见的反而成了瞎眼的. ”

9:40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”
有些和耶稣在一起的法利赛人听了这话, 就说: “难道我们也是瞎眼的吗? ”

9:41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
耶稣对他们说: “如果你们是瞎眼的, 就没有罪了; 但现在你们说‘我们能看见’, 所以你们还是有罪的. ”

John - Chapter 10

10:1 “Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up at some other place—that one is a thief and a robber.
“我实实在在告诉你们, 那不从门进羊圈, 倒从别处爬进去的, 那人就是贼, 就是强盗;

10:2 But the one who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
那从门进去的, 才是羊的牧人.

10:3 For this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
看门的给他开门, 羊也听他的声音; 他按着名字呼叫自己的羊, 领它们出来.

10:4 Whenever he sends out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
他把自己的羊领出来以后, 就走在前头, 羊也跟随他, 因为认得他的声音.

10:5 And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
它们决不会跟随陌生人, 反而逃避他, 因为不认得陌生人的声音. ”

10:6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what it was that he was saying to them.
耶稣对他们说了这个譬喻, 他们却不明白他所说的是什么.

10:7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
于是耶稣又说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 我就是羊的门.

10:8 All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them.
所有在我以先来的, 都是贼和强盗; 羊却不听从他们.

10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture.
我就是门, 如果有人借着我进来, 就必定得救, 并且可以出,可以入, 也可以找到草场.

10:10 The thief comes only so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
贼来了, 不过是要偷窃,杀害,毁坏; 我来了, 是要使羊得生命, 并且得的更丰盛.

10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
我是好牧人, 好牧人为羊舍命.

10:12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf approaching and abandons the sheep and runs away—and the wolf seizes them and scatters them—
那作雇工不是牧人的, 羊也不是自己的, 他一见狼来, 就把羊撇下逃跑, 狼就抓住羊群, 把他们驱散了;

10:13 because he is a hired hand and he is not concerned about the sheep.
因为他是个雇工, 对羊群漠不关心.

10:14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
我是好牧人, 我认识我的羊, 我的羊也认识我,

10:15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
好像父认识我, 我也认识父一样; 并且我为羊舍命.

10:16 And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock—one shepherd.
我还有别的羊, 不在这羊圈里; 我必须把它们领来, 它们也要听我的声音, 并且要合成一群, 归于一个牧人.

10:17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.
父爱我, 因为我把生命舍去, 好再把它取回来.

10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
没有人能夺去我的生命, 是我自己舍去的. 我有权把生命舍去, 也有权把它取回来; 这是我从我的父所领受的命令. ”

10:19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
犹太人因着这些话又起了纷争.

10:20 And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?”
他们当中有许多人说: “他是鬼附的, 他发疯了; 为什么要听他呢? ”

10:21 Others were saying, “These are not the words of one who is possessed by a demon! A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
另外有人说: “这话不是鬼附的人所说的. 鬼怎能使瞎子的眼睛开了呢? ”

10:22 Then the feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
在耶路撒冷, 献殿节到了, 那时是冬天.

10:23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.
耶稣在殿的所罗门廊上走过,

10:24 So the Jews surrounded him and began to say to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!”
犹太人围着他, 对他说: “你使我们心里悬疑不定, 要到几时呢? 如果你是基督, 就公开地告诉我们吧! ”

10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me.
耶稣对他们说: “我已经告诉你们, 你们却不相信; 我奉我父的名所作的事, 可以为我作证.

10:26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep!
只是你们不信, 因为你们不是我的羊.

10:27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
我的羊听我的声音, 我也认识他们, 他们也跟随我.

10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish forever, and no one will seize them out of my hand.
我赐给他们永生, 他们永不灭亡, 谁也不能把他们从我手里夺去.

10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize them from the Father’s hand.
那位把羊群赐给我的父比一切都大, 也没有人能把他们从我父的手里夺去.

10:30 The Father and I are one.”
我与父原为一. ”

10:31 Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.
犹太人又拿起石头要打他.

10:32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?”
耶稣对他们说: “我把许多从父那里来的善事显给你们看, 你们因哪一件要用石头打我呢? ”

10:33 The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, although you are a man, make yourself to be God!”
犹太人对他说: “我们不是因为善事用石头打你, 而是因为你说了僭妄的话; 又因为你是个人, 竟然把自己当作神. ”

10:34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?
耶稣说: “你们的律法上不是写着‘我说你们是神’吗?

10:35 If he called them ‘gods’ to whom the word of God came—and the scripture cannot be broken—
圣经是不能废除的, 如果那些承受神的道的人, 神尚且称他们是神,

10:36 do you say about he whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
那么父所分别为圣又差到世上来的, 他自称是神的儿子, 你们就说他说了僭妄神的话吗?

10:37 If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.
我若不作我父的事, 你们就不必信我;

10:38 But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
我若作了, 你们纵然不信我, 也应当信这些事, 好使你们确实知道, 我父是在我里面, 我也在父里面. ”

10:39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.
他们又要逮捕耶稣, 他却从他们的手中逃脱了.

10:40 And he went away again on the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.
耶稣又往约旦河东去, 到约翰从前施洗的地方, 住在那里.

10:41 And many came to him and began to say, “John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true!”
许多人到他那里去, 说: “约翰没有行过一件神迹, 但约翰指着这人所说的一切话, 都是真实的. ”

10:42 And many believed in him there.
在那里就有许多人信了耶稣.

John - Chapter 11

11:1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
有一个患病的人, 名叫拉撒路, 住在伯大尼, 就是马利亚和她姊姊马大的村庄.

11:2 (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
这马利亚就是后来用香膏抹主, 并且用头发把主的脚擦干的那人; 患病的拉撒路是她的兄弟.

11:3 So the sisters sent word to him, saying, “Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick.”
姊妹二人派人到耶稣那里去, 说: “主啊, 你所爱的人病了. ”

11:4 And when he heard it, Jesus said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
耶稣听见, 就说: “这病不至于死, 而是为了神的荣耀, 使神的儿子因此得到荣耀. ”

11:5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
耶稣向来爱马大和她的妹妹马利亚, 以及拉撒路.

11:6 So when he heard that he was sick, then he remained in the place where he was two days.
他听说拉撒路病了, 仍然在原来的地方住了两天,

11:7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
然后对门徒说: “我们再到犹太去吧. ”

11:8 The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were seeking just now to stone you, and are you going there again?”
门徒对他说: “拉比, 近来犹太人要拿石头打你, 你还到那里去吗? ”

11:9 Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks around in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
耶稣说: “白昼不是有十二小时吗? 人若在白昼行走, 就不会跌倒, 因为他看见这世上的光;

11:10 But if anyone walks around in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
人若在夜间行走, 就会跌倒, 因为他没有光. ”

11:11 He said these things, and after this he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I can awaken him.”
耶稣说完了这些话, 跟着又对他们说: “我们的朋友拉撒路睡了, 我要去唤醒他. ”

11:12 So the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”
门徒说: “主啊, 如果他睡了, 就会好过来的. ”

11:13 (Now Jesus had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about real sleep.)
其实耶稣是指着拉撒路的死说的, 门徒却以为他是指正常的睡眠说的.

11:14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
于是, 耶稣公开地告诉他们: “拉撒路死了.

11:15 and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
我为你们欢喜, 因为我不在那里, 是要使你们相信. 现在我们到他那里去吧. ”

11:16 Then Thomas (the one who is called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go also, so that we may die with him.”
那称为“双生子”的多马, 对其他的门徒说: “我们也去跟他一同死吧! ”

11:17 So when he arrived, Jesus found he had already been four days in the tomb.
耶稣到了, 知道拉撒路在坟墓里已经四天了.

11:18 (Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.
伯大尼靠近耶路撒冷, 相距约有三公里.

11:19 So many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary in order to console them concerning their brother.)
有许多犹太人来到马大和马利亚那里, 为了拉撒路的死来安慰她们.

11:20 Now Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
马大听见耶稣来了, 就去迎接他, 马利亚却仍然坐在家里.

11:21 So Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
马大对耶稣说: “主啊, 如果你早在这里, 我的兄弟就不会死了!

11:22 Even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant you.”
就是现在, 我也知道无论你向神求什么, 神必赐给你. ”

11:23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
耶稣对她说: “你的兄弟必会复活. ”

11:24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
马大说: “我知道在末日复活的时候, 他必会复活. ”

11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
耶稣说: “我就是复活和生命; 信我的人, 虽然死了, 也要活着.

11:26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die forever. Do you believe this?”
所有活着又信我的人, 必定永远不死, 你信这话吗? ”

11:27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”
她说: “主啊, 我信; 我已经信了, 你是基督, 是神的儿子, 是那要到世上来的. ”

11:28 And when she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
马大说了这些话, 就回去暗暗地叫她妹妹马利亚, 说: “老师来了, 他叫你. ”

11:29 So that one, when she heard it, got up quickly and went to him.
马利亚一听见, 就急忙起来, 到耶稣那里去.

11:30 (Now Jesus has not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha went to meet him.)
那时, 耶稣还没有进入村子, 仍然在马大迎接他的地方.

11:31 So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary—that she stood up quickly and went out—followed her, because they thought that she was going to the tomb in order to weep there.
那些在房子和马利亚在一起安慰她的犹太人, 见她匆忙地起来出去, 就跟着她, 以为她要到坟墓那里去哭.

11:32 Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
马利亚来到耶稣那里, 一看见他, 就俯伏在他脚前, 说: “主啊, 如果你早在这里, 我的兄弟就不会死了! ”

11:33 Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled within himself.
耶稣看见她在哭, 和她一同来的犹太人也在哭, 就心里激动, 难过起来,

11:34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
说: “你们把他安放在哪里? ”他们说: “主啊, 请来看. ”

11:35 Jesus wept.
耶稣哭了.

11:36 So the Jews were saying, “See how he loved him!”
于是犹太人说: “你看, 他多么爱这个人! ”

11:37 But some of them said, “Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do something so that this man also would not have died?”
他们中间有人说: “他既然开了瞎子的眼睛, 难道不能使这个人不死吗? ”

11:38 Then Jesus, deeply moved within himself again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it.
耶稣又再心里激动, 来到坟墓前面. 那坟墓是一个洞穴, 洞口有块石头堵住.

11:39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, “Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been four days.”
耶稣说: “把这块石头挪开! ”死者的姊姊马大对他说: “主啊, 已经四天了, 他必定臭了. ”

11:40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
耶稣说: “我不是对你说过‘如果你信, 就必定看见神的荣耀’吗? ”

11:41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes above and said, “Father, I give thanks to you that you hear me.
于是他们把石头挪开. 耶稣举目向天, 说: “父啊, 我感谢你, 因为你垂听了我,

11:42 And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd standing around I said it, so that they may believe that you sent me.”
我知道你常常听我, 但我说这话, 是为了周围站着的群众, 叫他们信是你差了我来. ”

11:43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
说了这话, 就大声呼喊: “拉撒路, 出来! ”

11:44 The one who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped with a facecloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
那死了的人就出来, 他的手脚都缠着布, 脸上裹着巾. 耶稣说: “解开他, 让他走! ”

11:45 Then many of the Jews who had come with Mary and saw the things which he did believed in him.
有许多到马利亚那里去的犹太人, 看见了耶稣所作的事, 就信了他.

11:46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
但他们中间有些人到法利赛人那里去, 把耶稣所作的事都告诉他们.

11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!
于是祭司长和法利赛人召开公议会, 说: “这个人行了许多神迹, 我们怎么办呢?

11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
我们若让他这样, 所有的人都会信他, 罗马人就会来, 夺取我们的圣地, 除灭我们的民族. ”

11:49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, “You do not know anything at all!
他们当中有一位该亚法, 是那年作大祭司的, 对他们说: “你们什么都不知道,

11:50 Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish.”
也不去想想, 一个人代替人民死, 免得整个民族灭亡, 这对你们是有益的. ”

11:51 (Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
他说这话不是由于自己, 而是因为他是那年的大祭司, 所以预言耶稣要替犹太民族死;

11:52 and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.)
不但替犹太民族死, 也要把散居各地的神的儿女招聚成为一体.

11:53 So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.
从那天起, 他们就想杀害耶稣.

11:54 So Jesus was no longer walking openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
因此, 耶稣不再在犹太人中间公开活动, 却离开那里, 到旷野附近的地方去; 到了一座名叫以法莲的城, 就和门徒住在那里.

11:55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the surrounding country before the Passover, so that they could purify themselves.
犹太人的逾越节快到了, 有许多人在过节前从各乡上耶路撒冷去, 要在那里洁净自己.

11:56 So they were looking for Jesus, and were speaking with one another while standing in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?”
他们到处找寻耶稣, 站在圣殿里的时候, 彼此说: “你们认为怎样? 他不会来过节吧? ”

11:57 (Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report it, in order that they could arrest him.)
祭司长和法利赛人早已下了命令: 如果有人知道耶稣在哪里, 就要前来报告, 好去逮捕他.

John - Chapter 12

12:1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
逾越节前六天, 耶稣到了伯大尼, 就是拉撒路所住的地方; 耶稣曾经使这拉撒路从死人中复活.

12:2 So they made him a dinner there, and Martha was serving, but Lazarus was one of the ones reclining at table with him.
有人在那里为耶稣预备了筵席. 马大在那里侍候, 拉撒路也和一些人与耶稣一同吃饭.

12:3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of very valuable genuine nard and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
马利亚拿了半公斤珍贵纯正的哪哒香膏, 抹耶稣的脚, 又用自己的头发去擦; 屋里就满了香膏的香气.

12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him) said,
耶稣的一个门徒, 就是那要出卖他的加略人犹大, 说:

12:5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
“为什么不把这香膏卖三百银币, 赒济穷人呢? ”

12:6 (Now he said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)
他说这话, 并不是因为他关怀穷人, 而是因为他是个贼, 又带着钱囊, 常取其中所存的.

12:7 So Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my preparation for burial.
耶稣就说: “由她吧, 这香膏是她留下来为我安葬的日子用的.

12:8 For you have the poor with you always, but you do not always have me.”
你们常常有穷人跟你们在一起, 却不常有我. ”

12:9 Now a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they could see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.
有一大群犹太人知道耶稣在那里, 就都来了, 然而他们不单是为了耶稣的缘故, 也是要看看耶稣使他从死人中复活的拉撒路.

12:10 So the chief priests decided that they would kill Lazarus also,
于是祭司长想把拉撒路也杀掉,

12:11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going and believing in Jesus.
因为有许多犹太人为了拉撒路的缘故, 离开他们, 信了耶稣.

12:12 On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
第二天, 有一大群上来过节的人, 听见耶稣要来耶路撒冷,

12:13 took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, and began crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel!”
就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他, 欢呼说: “和散那, 奉主名来的以色列王, 是应当称颂的! ”

12:14 So Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
耶稣找到一头小驴, 就骑在上面, 正如经上所记的:

12:15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion! Behold, your king is coming, seated on the foal of a donkey!”
“锡安的居民哪, 不要惧怕; 看哪, 你的王来了, 他骑着小驴来了. ”

12:16 (His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and they did these things to him.)
门徒起初不明白这些事, 可是到耶稣得了荣耀以后, 他们才想起这些话是指着他说的, 并且人们果然向他这样行了.

12:17 So the crowd who was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify.
那些和耶稣在一起, 看见他叫拉撒路从坟墓出来, 又使他从死人中复活的群众, 都为这事作见证.

12:18 Because of this also the crowd went to meet him, for they had heard that he had performed this sign.
群众因为听见他行了这神迹, 就去迎接他.

12:19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him.”
于是法利赛人彼此说: “你们看, 你们都是徒劳无功, 世人都去跟随他了! ”

12:20 Now some Greeks were among those who had gone up in order to worship at the feast.
上去过节作礼拜的人中, 有些是希腊人.

12:21 So these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and began asking him saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
他们来到加利利的伯赛大人腓力那里, 请求他, 说: “先生, 我们想见耶稣. ”

12:22 Philip went and told Andrew. Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
腓力去告诉安得烈, 安得烈就和腓力去告诉耶稣.

12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man will be glorified.
耶稣对他们说: “人子得荣耀的时候到了!

12:24 Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
我实实在在告诉你们, 一粒麦子若不落在地里死了, 仍旧是一粒; 如果死了, 就结出许多果实来.

12:25 The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world preserves it for eternal life.
爱惜自己生命的, 就丧掉生命; 在这世上恨恶自己生命的, 必会保全生命到永远.

12:26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
如果有人服事我, 就应当跟从我; 我在哪里, 服事我的人也会在哪里; 如果有人服事我, 我父必尊重他.

12:27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, deliver me from this hour’? But for this reason I have come to this hour!
“我现在心里烦乱, 我应该说什么呢? 说‘父啊, 救我脱离这时刻’吗? 然而我正是为了这个缘故来的, 要面对这时刻.

12:28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
父啊, 愿你荣耀你的名! ”当时有声音从天上来, 说: “我已经荣耀了我的名, 还要再荣耀. ”

12:29 Now the crowd that stood there and heard it said it had thundered. Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to him!”
站在旁边的群众听见了, 就说: “打雷了. ”另外有人说: “有天使对他说话. ”

12:30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not happened for my sake, but for your sake.
耶稣说: “这声音不是为了我, 而是为了你们发出的.

12:31 Now is the judgment of this world! Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out!
现在是这世界受审判的时候了, 现在这世界的王要被赶出去.

12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
我若从地上被举起来, 就要吸引万人归向我. ”

12:33 (Now he said this to indicate by what sort of death he was going to die.)
他说这话, 是指着自己将要怎样死说的.

12:34 Then the crowd replied to him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever! And how do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
于是群众对他说: “我们从律法上知道基督是永远常存的, 你怎么说‘人子必须被举起来’呢? 这人子是谁呢? ”

12:35 So Jesus said to them, “Yet a little time the light is with you! Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you! And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
耶稣说: “光在你们中间的时间不多了. 你们应当趁着有光的时候行走, 免得黑暗追上你们. 在黑暗中行走的人, 不知道往哪里去.

12:36 While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said these things, and then he went away and was hidden from them.
你们应当趁着有光的时候信从这光, 使你们成为光明的儿女. ”耶稣说完了这些话, 就离开他们隐藏起来.

12:37 But as many signs as he had performed before them, they did not believe in him,
耶稣在他们面前行了许多神迹, 但是他们仍然不信他.

12:38 in order that the word of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
这是要应验以赛亚先知所说的话: “主啊, 我们所传的, 有谁信呢? 主的膀臂向谁显露呢? ”

12:39 For this reason they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said,
他们不能相信, 因为以赛亚又说:

12:40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn, and I heal them.”
“神使他们瞎了眼, 硬了心, 免得他们眼睛看见, 心里明白而回转过来; 我就医好他们. ”

12:41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.
以赛亚说这些话, 是因为看见了他的荣耀, 就指着他说的.

12:42 Yet despite that, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue.
虽然这样, 官长当中也有许多人信了耶稣. 但是因为法利赛人的缘故, 他们不敢公开承认, 免得被赶出会堂;

12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than praise from God.
因为他们爱人的荣耀, 过于爱神的荣耀.

12:44 But Jesus cried out and said, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,
耶稣大声说: “信我的, 不单是信我, 也是信那差我来的.

12:45 and the one who sees me sees the one who sent me.
看见我的, 就是看见那差我来的.

12:46 I have come as a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.
我是光, 我到世上来, 叫所有信我的不住在黑暗里.

12:47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
人若听见我的话却不遵守的, 我不审判他, 因为我来不是要审判世人, 而是要拯救世人.

12:48 The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
弃绝我又不接受我的话的人, 自有审判他的. 我所讲的道在末日要定他的罪;

12:49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak.
因为我没有凭着自己说话, 而是差我来的父给了我命令, 要我说什么, 讲什么.

12:50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So the things that I say, just as the Father said to me, thus I say.”
我知道他的命令就是永生. 所以, 我所讲的, 正是父吩咐我要我讲的. ”

John - Chapter 13

13:1 Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, and having loved his own in the world, loved them to the end.
逾越节以前, 耶稣知道自己离开这世界回到父那里去的时候到了. 他既然爱世上属于自己的人, 就爱他们到底.

13:2 And as a dinner was taking place, when the devil had already put into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him,
吃晚饭的时候(魔鬼已经把出卖耶稣的意念放在西门的儿子加略人犹大的心里),

13:3 because he knew that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,
耶稣知道父已经把万有交在他手中, 并且知道自己从神而来, 又要回到神那里去,

13:4 he got up from the dinner and took off his outer clothing, and taking a towel, tied it around himself.
就起身离席, 脱去外衣, 拿一条手巾束腰.

13:5 Then he poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them dry with the towel which he had tied around himself.
然后他倒了一盆水, 洗门徒的脚, 并且用束腰的手巾擦干.

13:6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
轮到西门．彼得, 彼得就说: “主啊, 你要洗我的脚吗? ”

13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand after these things.”
耶稣回答: “我所作的, 你现在不知道, 以后就会明白. ”

13:8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet forever!” Jesus replied to him, “Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me.”
彼得说: “不行, 你千万不可洗我的脚! ”耶稣说: “如果我不洗你的脚, 你就与我没有关系了. ”

13:9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
西门．彼得说: “主啊, 那就不单洗我的脚, 连我的手和头都洗吧! ”

13:10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed only needs to wash his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all of you.”
耶稣说: “洗过澡的人, 全身都洁净, 只需要洗脚就可以了. 你们是洁净的, 但不是人人都是这样. ”

13:11 (For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)
原来耶稣知道谁要出卖他, 所以他说“你们不是人人都是洁净的”.

13:12 So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
耶稣洗完了门徒的脚, 就穿上外衣, 再坐下来, 对他们说: “我给你们作的, 你们明白吗?

13:13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you speak correctly, for I am.
你们称呼我‘老师, 主’, 你们说得对, 我本来就是.

13:14 If then I—your Lord and Teacher—wash your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
我是主, 是老师, 尚且洗你们的脚, 你们也应当彼此洗脚.

13:15 For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.
我作了你们的榜样, 是要你们也照着我所作的去行.

13:16 Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
我实实在在告诉你们, 仆人不能大过主人, 奉差遣的也不能大过差他的人.

13:17 If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.
你们既然知道这些事, 如果去实行, 就有福了.

13:18 “I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’
我这话不是指着你们全体说的; 我认识我所拣选的人, 但是经上的话: ‘那吃我饭的, 用他的脚踢我’, 必须应验.

13:19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe that I am he.
现在, 事情还没有发生, 我就告诉你们, 使你们到时可以信我就是‘那一位’.

13:20 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”
我实实在在告诉你们, 那接待我所差遣的, 就是接待我; 接待我的, 就是接待那差我来的. ”

13:21 When he had said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.”
耶稣说了这话, 心里很难过, 就明明地说: “我实实在在告诉你们, 你们中间有一个人要出卖我. ”

13:22 The disciples began looking at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking.
门徒面面相觑, 不知道他是指着谁说的.

13:23 One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close beside Jesus.
门徒中有一个人, 是耶稣所爱的, 他坐在耶稣旁边.

13:24 So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking.
西门．彼得向他示意, 叫他问耶稣是指着谁说的.

13:25 He leaned back accordingly against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Lord, who is it?”
于是那个门徒贴近耶稣的胸怀, 问他: “主啊, 是谁呢? ”

13:26 Jesus replied, “It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” Then after dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
耶稣回答: “我蘸一小块饼给谁, 谁就是了. ”于是他蘸了一小块饼, 递给加略人西门的儿子犹大.

13:27 And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!”
犹大接过饼以后, 撒但就进入他的心. 耶稣对他说: “你要作的, 快去作吧. ”

13:28 (Now no one of those reclining at table knew for what reason he said this to him.
在座的人, 没有一个知道耶稣为什么对犹大说这话.

13:29 For some were thinking because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Purchase what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.)
犹大是管钱的, 所以有人以为耶稣叫他去买过节用的东西, 或是吩咐他拿点东西去赒济穷人.

13:30 So after he had taken the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.
犹大吃了饼, 立刻就出去; 那时是黑夜了.

13:31 Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
他出去以后, 耶稣就说: “现在人子得了荣耀, 神也在人子身上得了荣耀,

13:32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him immediately.
(神既然在人子身上得了荣耀, )(有些抄本无此句)也要在自己身上荣耀人子, 并且要立刻荣耀他.

13:33 Children, yet a little time I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, “Where I am going you cannot come,” now I say also to you.
孩子们啊, 我跟你们在一起的时候不多了. 你们要寻找我, 但是我对犹太人说过, 现在也照样对你们说: ‘我去的地方, 是你们不能去的. ’

13:34 “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
我给你们一条新命令, 就是要你们彼此相爱; 我怎样爱你们, 你们也要怎样彼此相爱.

13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.”
如果你们彼此相爱, 众人就会认出你们是我的门徒了. ”

13:36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”
西门．彼得对耶稣说: “主啊, 你往哪里去? ”耶稣回答: “我去的地方, 你现在不能跟着我去, 但后来却要跟着我去. ”

13:37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!”
彼得说: “主啊, 为什么我现在不能跟着你去? 为了你, 我舍命也愿意! ”

13:38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!
耶稣说: “你愿意为我舍命吗? 我实实在在告诉你, 鸡叫之前, 你必定三次不认我. ”

John - Chapter 14

14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.
“你们心里不要难过, 你们应当信神, 也应当信我.

14:2 In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because I am going away to prepare a place for you.
在我父的家里, 有许多住的地方; 如果没有, 我怎么会告诉你们我去是要为你们预备地方呢? (下半节或译: “如果没有, 我早就对你们说了, 因为我去是为你们预备地方. ”)

14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also.
我若去为你们预备地方, 就必再来接你们到我那里去, 好使我在哪里, 你们也在哪里.

14:4 And you know the way where I am going.”
我去的地方, 你们知道那条路. ”

14:5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How are we able to know the way?”
多马说: “主啊, 我们不知道你去的地方, 怎能知道那条路呢? ”

14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
耶稣对他说: “我就是道路,真理,生命, 如果不是借着我, 没有人能到父那里去.

14:7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you know him and have seen him.”
如果你们认识我, 就必认识我的父; 从今以后, 你们认识他, 并且看见了他. ”

14:8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
腓力说: “主啊, 请把父显示给我们, 我们就满足了. ”

14:9 Jesus said to him, “Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’
耶稣说: “腓力, 我跟你们在一起这么久了, 你还不认识我吗? 那看见了我的就是看见了父, 你怎么还说‘把父显示给我们’呢?

14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself, but the Father residing in me does his works.
你不信我是在父里面, 父是在我里面吗? 我对你们说的话, 不是凭着自己说的, 而是住在我里面的父作他自己的事.

14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.
你们应当信我是在父里面, 父是在我里面; 不然, 也要因我所作的而相信.

14:12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in me, the works that I am doing he will do also, and he will do greater works than these because I am going to the Father.
我实实在在告诉你们, 我所作的事, 信我的人也要作, 并且要作比这些更大的, 因为我往父那里去.

14:13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
你们奉我的名无论求什么, 我必定成全, 使父在子的身上得着荣耀.

14:14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
你们若奉我的名向我求什么, 我必定成全.

14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
“如果你们爱我, 就要遵守我的命令.

14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever—
我要请求父, 他就会赐给你们另一位保惠师, 使他跟你们永远在一起.

14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
这保惠师就是真理的灵, 世人不能接受他, 因为看不见他, 也不认识他. 你们却认识他, 因为他跟你们住在一起, 也要在你们里面.

14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.
我不会撇下你们为孤儿, 我要回到你们这里来.

14:19 Yet a little time and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.
不久以后, 世人不再看见我, 你们却要看见我, 因为我活着, 你们也要活着.

14:20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
到那日, 你们就知道我是在我父里面, 你们是在我里面, 我也在你们里面.

14:21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
那领受我的命令, 并且遵守的, 就是爱我的; 爱我的, 我父必定爱他, 我也要爱他, 并且要亲自向他显现. ”

14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, why is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
犹大(不是加略人犹大)对耶稣说: “主啊, 你为什么要亲自向我们显现, 不向世人显现呢? ”

14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and will take up residence with him.
耶稣回答: “人若爱我, 就要遵守我的话, 我父必定爱他, 并且我们要到他那里去, 跟他住在一起.

14:24 The one who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
不爱我的, 就不会遵守我的话. 你们所听见的道, 不是我的, 而是那差我来的父的道.

14:25 These things I have spoken to you while residing with you.
“我还跟你们在一起的时候, 就对你们讲了这些事.

14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name—that one will teach you all things, and will remind you of everything that I said to you.
但保惠师, 就是父因我的名要差来的圣灵, 他要把一切事教导你们, 也要使你们想起我对你们所说过的一切话.

14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you—not as the world gives, I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
我留下平安给你们, 我把自己的平安赐给你们; 我给你们的, 不像世界所给的. 你们心里不要难过, 也不要恐惧.

14:28 You have heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.
你们听见我对你们说过: ‘我去, 但还要回到你们这里来. ’你们若爱我, 就要喜乐, 因为我到父那里去, 又因为父是比我大的.

14:29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.
现在事情还没有发生, 我就已经告诉你们, 使你们在事情发生的时候可以相信.

14:30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has no power over me.
我不会再跟你们讲很多的事, 因为这世界的统治者将到; 他在我身上毫无作用,

14:31 But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!
但这些事是要使世人知道我爱父, 并且知道父怎样吩咐了我, 我就怎样作. 起来, 我们走吧! ”

John - Chapter 15

15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
“我是真葡萄树, 我父是培植的人.

15:2 Every branch that does not bear fruit in me, he removes it, and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it in order that it may bear more fruit.
所有属我而不结果子的枝子, 他就剪去; 所有结果子的, 他就修剪干净, 让它结更多的果子.

15:3 You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
现在你们因着我对你们所讲的道, 已经干净了.

15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit from itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
你们要住在我里面, 我也就住在你们里面. 枝子若不连在葡萄树上, 自己就不能结果子; 你们若不住在我里面, 也是这样.

15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him—this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you are not able to do anything.
我是葡萄树, 你们是枝子. 住在我里面的, 我也住在他里面, 他就结出很多果子; 因为离开了我, 你们就不能作什么.

15:6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and dries up, and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
人若不住在我里面, 就像枝子丢在外面枯干了, 人把它们拾起来, 丢在火里烧掉了.

15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
你们若住在我里面, 我的话也留在你们里面; 无论你们想要什么, 祈求, 就给你们成就.

15:8 My Father is glorified by this: that you bear much fruit, and prove to be my disciples.
这样, 你们结出很多果子, 我父就因此得荣耀, 你们也就是我的门徒了.

15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
父怎样爱我, 我也怎样爱你们; 你们要住在我的爱里.

15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
如果你们遵守我的命令, 就必定住在我的爱里, 正像我遵守了我父的命令, 住在他的爱里一样.

15:11 I have spoken these things to you in order that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be made complete.
“我把这些事告诉了你们, 好让我的喜乐存在你们心里, 并且使你们的喜乐满溢.

15:12 This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.
你们要彼此相爱, 像我爱你们一样, 这就是我的命令.

15:13 No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.
人为朋友舍命, 人间的爱没有比这个更大的了.

15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
你们若行我所吩咐你们的, 就是我的朋友了.

15:15 No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.
我不再称你们为仆人, 因为仆人不知道主人所作的事; 我已经称你们为朋友了, 因为我从我父那里听见的一切, 都已经告诉你们了.

15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
不是你们拣选了我, 而是我拣选了你们, 并且分派你们去结果子, 就是结常存的果子, 使你们奉我的名, 无论向父求什么, 他必定赐给你们.

15:17 These things I command you: that you love one another.
我把这些事吩咐你们, 是要你们彼此相爱.

15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
“如果世人恨你们, 你们要知道他们在恨你们以先, 已经恨我了.

15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.
你们若属于这世界, 世人必定爱属自己的; 但因为你们不属于世界, 而是我从世界中拣选了你们, 所以世人就恨你们.

15:20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
你们要记住我对你们说过的话: ‘仆人不能大过主人. ’他们若迫害我, 也必定迫害你们; 他们若遵守我的话, 也必定遵守你们的话.

15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
但他们因着我的名, 要向你们行这一切, 因为他们不认识那差我来的.

15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they do not have a valid excuse for their sin.
如果我没有来, 也没有对他们讲过什么, 他们就没有罪; 但现在他们的罪是无可推诿的了.

15:23 The one who hates me hates my Father also.
恨我的, 也恨我的父.

15:24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
如果我没有在他们中间作过别人没有作过的事, 他们就没有罪; 但现在我和我的父, 他们都看见了, 也都恨恶.

15:25 But this happened so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a reason.’
这就应验了他们律法上所写的话: ‘他们无故地恨我. ’

15:26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father—that one will testify about me.
“我从父那里要差来给你们的保惠师, 就是从父那里出来的真理的灵, 他来到的时候, 要为我作见证.

15:27 And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
你们也要作见证, 因为从开始你们就是跟我在一起的. ”

John - Chapter 16

16:1 “I have said these things to you so that you will not fall away.
“我把这些事告诉了你们, 使你们不致后退.

16:2 They will expel you from the synagogue, but an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think they are offering service to God.
人要把你们赶出会堂; 并且时候要到, 所有要杀害你们的人, 以为这样就是事奉神.

16:3 And they will do these things because they do not know the Father or me.
他们要作这些事, 因为他们不认识父, 也不认识我.

16:4 But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. “And I have not said these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
我把这些事告诉了你们, 让你们到了那个时候, 可以想起我告诉过你们了. 我起初没有把这些事告诉你们, 因为我跟你们在一起.

16:5 But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and none of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
“现在我要到那差我来的那里去, 你们中间并没有人问: ‘你到哪里去? ’

16:6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
然而因为我把这些事告诉了你们, 你们心里就充满忧愁.

16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
但我要把实情告诉你们, 我去是对你们有益的. 如果我不去, 保惠师就不会到你们这里来; 我若去了, 就会差他到你们这里来.

16:8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:
他来了, 就要在罪,在义,在审判各方面指证世人的罪.

16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,
在罪方面, 是因为他们不信我;

16:10 and concerning righteousness, because I am going away to the Father and you will see me no more,
在义方面, 是因为我到父那里去, 你们就再看不见我;

16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
在审判方面, 是因为这世界的统治者已经受了审判.

16:12 I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.
“我还有许多事要告诉你们, 可是你们现在担当不了;

16:13 But when he—the Spirit of truth—comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come.
只等真理的灵来了, 他要引导你们进入一切真理. 他不是凭着自己说话, 而是把他听见的都说出来, 并且要把将来的事告诉你们.

16:14 He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.
他要荣耀我, 因为他要把从我那里所领受的告诉你们.

16:15 Everything that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he takes from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.
父所有的一切, 都是我的; 所以我说, 他要把从我那里所领受的告诉你们.

16:16 “A little while and you will see me no more, and again a little while and you will see me.
“不久, 你们不会再看见我; 再过不久, 你们还要看见我. ”

16:17 So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he is saying to us, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going away to the Father’?”
于是他的门徒中有几个彼此说: “他对我们说: ‘不久, 你们不会看见我; 再过不久, 你们还要看见我. ’又说: ‘因为我到父那里去. ’这是什么意思呢? ”

16:18 So they kept on saying, “What is this that he is saying, ‘A little while’? We do not understand what he is speaking about!”
他们又说: “他所说的‘不久’, 是什么意思呢? 我们不晓得他在讲什么. ”

16:19 Jesus knew that they were wanting to ask him, and he said to them, “Are you deliberating with one another about this—that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’?
耶稣知道他们想问他, 就说: “我所说的‘不久, 你们不会看见我; 再过不久, 你们还要看见我’, 你们为了这话彼此议论吗?

16:20 Truly, truly I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will change to joy.
我实实在在告诉你们, 你们要痛哭哀号, 世人却要欢喜; 你们要忧愁, 但你们的忧愁要变为喜乐.

16:21 A woman, when she gives birth, experiences pain because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the affliction, on account of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.
妇人生产的时候会有忧愁, 因为她的时候到了; 但生了孩子以后, 就不再记住那痛苦了, 因为欢喜有一个人生到世上来.

16:22 So you also are experiencing sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy from you.
现在你们也有忧愁; 但我要再见你们, 你们的心就会喜乐, 你们的喜乐是没有人能够夺去的.

16:23 And on that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
到了那天, 你们什么也不会问我了. 我实实在在告诉你们, 你们奉我的名无论向父求什么, 他必定赐给你们.

16:24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
你们向来没有奉我的名求什么; 现在你们祈求, 就必定得着, 让你们的喜乐满溢.

16:25 “I have said these things to you in figurative sayings. An hour is coming when I will speak to you in figurative sayings no longer, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.
“我用譬喻对你们说了这些事, 时候要到, 我不再用譬喻对你们说了, 而是把关于父的事明明白白告诉你们.

16:26 On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
到了那天, 你们要奉我的名祈求, 我不是说我要为你们请求父;

16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
父自己爱你们, 因为你们已经爱我, 并且信我是从神那里来的.

16:28 I have gone out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”
我从父那里来, 到了这世界; 我又离开这世界, 到父那里去. ”

16:29 His disciples said, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly and are telling us no figurative saying!
门徒说: “你看, 现在你是明说, 不是用譬喻说了.

16:30 Now we know that you know everything and do not need for anyone to ask you questions. By this we believe that you have come from God.”
现在我们知道你是无所不知的, 不需要人向你发问. 因此, 我们信你是从神那里来的. ”

16:31 Jesus replied to them, “Now do you believe?
耶稣对他们说: “现在你们信吗?

16:32 Behold, an hour is coming—and has come—that you will be scattered each one to his own home, and you will leave me alone. And I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
看哪, 时候要到, 而且已经到了, 你们要分散, 各人到自己的地方去, 只留下我独自一个人. 其实我不是独自一个人, 因为有父与我同在.

16:33 I have said these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world.”
我把这些事告诉你们, 是要使你们在我里面有平安. 在世上你们有患难, 但你们放心, 我已经胜了这世界. ”

John - Chapter 17

17:1 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven he said, “Father, the hour has come! Glorify your Son, in order that your Son may glorify you—
耶稣讲完了这些话, 就举目望天, 说: “父啊, 时候到了, 求你荣耀你的儿子, 让儿子也荣耀你,

17:2 just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them—everyone whom you have given him.
正如你把管理全人类的权柄给了他, 使他赐永生给你所赐给他的人.

17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
认识你是独一的真神, 并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督, 这就是永生.

17:4 I have glorified you on earth by completing the work that you have given me to do.
我在地上已经荣耀了你, 你交给我要作的工, 我已经完成了.

17:5 And now, Father, you glorify me at your side with the glory that I had at your side before the world existed.
父啊, 现在让我在你自己面前得着荣耀, 就是在创世以前我与你同享的荣耀.

17:6 “I have revealed your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me, and they have kept your word.
“你从世上分别出来赐给我的人, 我已经把你的名显明给他们了. 他们是你的, 你把他们赐给了我, 他们也遵守了你的道.

17:7 Now they understand that all the things that you have given me are from you,
现在他们知道, 你所给我的, 无论是什么, 都是从你那里来的;

17:8 because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received them and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.
因为你赐给我的话, 我已经给了他们, 他们也领受了, 又确实知道我是从你那里来的, 并且信你差了我来.

17:9 I am asking on behalf of them. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours,
我为他们求; 我不为世人求, 而是为你赐给我的人求, 因为他们是你的.

17:10 and all my things are yours, and your things are mine, and I have been glorified in them.
我的一切都是你的, 你的一切也是我的, 并且我因着他们得了荣耀.

17:11 And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are.
我不再在这世上, 他们却在这世上, 我要到你那里去. 圣父啊, 求你因你赐给我的名, 保守他们, 使他们合而为一, 好像我们一样.

17:12 When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded them, and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.
我跟他们在一起的时候, 因你赐给我的名, 我保守了他们, 也护卫了他们; 他们中间除了那灭亡的人以外, 没有一个是灭亡的, 这就应验了经上的话.

17:13 And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.
现在我到你那里去, 我在世上说这些话, 是要他们心里充满我的喜乐.

17:14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.
我把你的道赐给了他们; 世人恨他们, 因为他们不属于这世界, 像我不属于这世界一样.

17:15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.
我不求你使他们离开世界, 只求你保守他们脱离那恶者.

17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
他们不属于这世界, 像我不属于这世界一样.

17:17 Sanctify them in the truth—your word is truth.
求你用真理使他们成圣; 你的道就是真理.

17:18 Just as you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
你怎样差我到世上来, 我也怎样差他们到世上去.

17:19 And for them I sanctify myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in the truth.
我为了他们的缘故, 自己分别为圣, 使他们也因着真理成圣.

17:20 “And I do not ask on behalf of these only, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word,
“我不但为他们求, 也为那些因他们的话而信我的人求,

17:21 that they all may be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me.
使他们都合而为一, 像父你在我里面, 我在你里面一样; 使他们也在我们里面, 让世人相信你差了我来.

17:22 And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, in order that they may be one, just as we are one—
你赐给我的荣耀, 我已经赐给了他们, 使他们合而为一, 像我们合而为一.

17:23 I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.
我在他们里面, 你在我里面, 使他们完完全全合而为一, 让世人知道你差了我来, 并且知道你爱他们, 好像爱我一样.

17:24 “Father, those whom you have given to me—I want that those also may be with me where I am, in order that they may see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
父啊, 我在哪里, 愿你赐给我的人也和我同在哪里, 让他们看见你赐给我的荣耀, 因为在创立世界以前, 你已经爱我了.

17:25 Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these men have come to know that you sent me.
公义的父啊, 世人虽然不认识你, 我却认识你, 这些人也知道你差了我来.

17:26 And I made known to them your name, and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I may be in them.”
我已经把你的名指示他们, 还要再指示, 使你爱我的爱在他们里面, 我也在他们里面. ”

John - Chapter 18

18:1 When Jesus had said these things, he went out with his disciples to the other side of the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered.
耶稣说完了这些话, 就和门徒出去, 过了汲沦溪. 在那里有一个园子, 耶稣和门徒进去了.

18:2 (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, also knew about the place, because Jesus often gathered there with his disciples.)
出卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方, 因为耶稣和门徒常常在那里聚集.

18:3 So Judas, taking the cohort and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
那时, 犹大带着一队兵, 还有祭司长和法利赛人的差役, 拿着灯笼,火把,武器, 来到园子里.

18:4 Then Jesus, because he knew all the things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
耶稣知道快要临到他身上的一切事, 就出来对他们说: “你们找谁? ”

18:5 They replied to him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He said to them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was also standing with them.)
他们回答: “拿撒勒人耶稣! ”耶稣说: “我就是. ”出卖耶稣的犹大和他们站在那里.

18:6 So when he said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
耶稣一说“我就是”, 他们就往后退, 倒在地上.

18:7 Then he asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
他再问他们: “你们找谁? ”他们说: “拿撒勒人耶稣! ”

18:8 Jesus replied, “I said to you that I am he! So if you are looking for me, let these men go,”
耶稣回答: “我已经告诉你们, 我就是了. 如果你们来找我, 就让这些人走吧. ”

18:9 in order that the word that he had spoken would be fulfilled: “Those whom you have given to me—I have not lost anyone of them.”
这应验了耶稣说过的话: “你赐给我的人, 我一个也没有失落. ”

18:10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. (Now the name of the slave was Malchus.)
西门．彼得带着一把刀, 就拔出来, 向大祭司的仆人马勒古砍去, 削掉他的右耳.

18:11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath! The cup that the Father has given me—shall I not drink it?”
耶稣对彼得说: “把刀收入鞘里去! 父给我的杯, 我怎能不喝呢? ”

18:12 Then the cohort and the military tribune and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and tied him up,
于是那一队兵和千夫长, 以及犹太人的差役拿住耶稣, 把他绑起来,

18:13 and brought him to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
先带到亚那面前. 亚那是当年的大祭司该亚法的岳父.

18:14 (Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better that one man die for the people.)
该亚法就是从前向犹太人提议说“一个人代替人民死, 这是有益的”那个人.

18:15 So Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. (Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.)
西门．彼得和另一个门徒跟着耶稣; 那门徒是大祭司认识的. 他跟耶稣一起进了大祭司的院子,

18:16 But Peter was standing by the door outside. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.
彼得却站在门外. 大祭司所认识的那门徒出来, 对看门的婢女说了一声, 就带了彼得进去.

18:17 Then the female slave who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You are not also one of the disciples of this man, are you?” He said, “I am not!”
那看门的婢女对彼得说: “你不也是这个人的门徒吗? ”他说: “我不是. ”

18:18 (Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing there with them and warming himself.)
因为天气寒冷, 仆人和差役就生了炭火, 站着取暖; 彼得也和他们站在一起取暖.

18:19 So the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
那时, 大祭司查问耶稣有关他的门徒和他的教训的事.

18:20 Jesus replied to him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple courts where all the Jews assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
耶稣对大祭司说: “我向来对世人讲话都是公开的, 我常常在会堂和圣殿里, 就是在所有犹太人聚集的地方教导人, 暗地里我并没有讲什么.

18:21 Why are you asking me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them! Behold, these people know what I said.”
你为什么查问我呢? 问问那些听过我讲话的人吧, 他们知道我讲过什么. ”

18:22 Now when he had said these things, one of the officers who was standing by gave a slap in the face to Jesus, saying, “Do you reply to the high priest in this way?”
耶稣说了这些话, 站在旁边的一个差役, 就打他一巴掌, 说: “你竟敢这样回答大祭司吗? ”

18:23 Jesus replied to him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify about what is wrong! But if I have spoken correctly, why do you strike me?”
耶稣对他说: “如果我讲错了, 你可以指证错在哪里; 如果我讲对了, 你为什么打我呢? ”

18:24 Then Annas sent him, tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.
亚那仍然绑着耶稣, 把他押到大祭司该亚法那里去.

18:25 Now Simon Peter was standing there and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not!”
西门．彼得仍然站在火旁取暖. 有人对他说: “你不也是他的门徒吗? ”彼得否认说: “我不是. ”

18:26 One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?”
有一个大祭司的仆人, 就是彼得削掉耳朵的那个人的亲戚, 说: “我不是看见你跟他在园子里吗? ”

18:27 So Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
彼得又否认, 立刻鸡就叫了.

18:28 Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s residence. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the governor’s residence so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.
清早的时候, 犹太人把耶稣从该亚法那里押往总督的官邸. 他们自己没有进到官邸里去, 恐怕沾染了污秽, 不能吃逾越节的晚餐.

18:29 So Pilate came outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
于是彼拉多走到外面见他们, 说: “你们控告这个人什么呢? ”

18:30 They answered and said to him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have handed him over to you!”
他们回答: “如果这个人没有作恶, 我们就不会把他交给你. ”

18:31 So Pilate said to them, “You take him and judge him according to your law!” The Jews said to him, “It is not permitted for us to kill anyone,”
彼拉多对他们说: “你们自己把他带去, 按着你们的律法审问他吧. ”犹太人说: “我们没有权去判人死罪. ”

18:32 in order that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled that he had spoken, indicating by what sort of death he was going to die.
这就应验了耶稣预先说到自己将要怎样死的那句话.

18:33 Then Pilate entered again into the governor’s residence and summoned Jesus and said to him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
彼拉多又进了官邸, 把耶稣叫来, 问他说: “你是犹太人的王吗? ”

18:34 Jesus replied, “Do you say this from yourself, or have others said this to you about me?”
耶稣回答: “这话是你自己说的, 还是别人对你说到我的呢? ”

18:35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your people and the chief priests handed you over to me! What have you done?”
彼拉多说: “难道我是犹太人吗? 你本国的人和祭司长把你交给我, 你究竟作了什么事? ”

18:36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.”
耶稣回答: “我的国不属于这世界; 如果我的国属于这世界, 我的臣仆就要作战, 使我不至被交给犹太人. 不过, 我的国不是这世上的. ”

18:37 Then Pilate said to him, “So then you are a king!” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I have come into the world: in order that I can testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.”
于是彼拉多问他: “那么, 你是王吗? ”耶稣说: “我是王, 这是你说的. 我要为真理作见证, 我为此而生, 也为此来到世上. 凡是属于真理的人, 都听我的声音. ”

18:38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no basis for an accusation against him.
彼拉多问他: “真理是什么? ”彼拉多说了这话, 又出来见犹太人, 对他们说: “我查不出他有什么罪.

18:39 But it is your custom that I release for you one prisoner at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
“你们有个惯例, 每逢逾越节, 要我给你们释放一个囚犯. 你们愿意我给你们释放这个犹太人的王吗? ”

18:40 Then they shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.)
他们又喊叫说: “不要他! 要巴拉巴! ”这巴拉巴是个强盗.

John - Chapter 19

19:1 So then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
那时, 彼拉多吩咐人把耶稣拉去鞭打.

19:2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
士兵用荆棘编成冠冕, 戴在他的头上, 又给他披上紫色的外袍,

19:3 and were coming up to him and saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” and were giving him slaps in the face.
然后来到他面前, 说: “犹太人的王万岁! ”并且用手掌打他.

19:4 And Pilate came outside again and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing him outside to you, so that you will know that I find no basis for an accusation against him.”
彼拉多再次出到外面, 对犹太人说: “看! 我把他带出来给你们, 让你们知道我查不出他有什么罪. ”

19:5 Then Jesus came outside wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, and he said to them, “Behold the man!”
于是耶稣出来, 戴着荆棘的冠冕, 披着紫色的外袍. 彼拉多对他们说: “看, 这个人! ”

19:6 So when they saw him, the chief priests and the officers shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “You take him and crucify him! For I do not find a basis for an accusation against him.”
祭司长和差役看见耶稣, 就喊叫说: “把他钉十字架! 把他钉十字架! ”彼拉多对他们说: “你们自己把他带去钉十字架吧! 我查不出他有什么罪. ”

19:7 The Jews replied to him, “We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be the Son of God!”
犹太人回答: “我们有律法, 根据那律法, 他是该死的, 因为他自命为神的儿子. ”

19:8 So when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
彼拉多听见这话, 就更加害怕,

19:9 and he entered into the governor’s residence again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.
又进了官邸, 问耶稣: “你究竟是从哪里来的? ”耶稣却不回答他.

19:10 So Pilate said to him, “Will you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I have authority to crucify you?”
彼拉多对他说: “你不对我说话吗? 你不知道我有权释放你, 也有权把你钉十字架吗? ”

19:11 Jesus replied to him, “You would not have any authority over me unless it was given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has greater sin.”
耶稣说: “如果不是从天上给你权柄, 你就无权办我; 因此, 把我交给你的那人, 罪更重了. ”

19:12 From this point on Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews shouted, saying, “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar! Everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar!”
从那时起, 彼拉多想释放耶稣; 可是犹太人却喊叫说: “如果你释放这个人, 就不是凯撒的忠臣了. 凡是自命为王的, 就是与凯撒为敌. ”

19:13 So Pilate, when he heard these words, brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat, in the place called The Stone Pavement (but Gabbatha in Aramaic).
彼拉多听了这些话, 就把耶稣带到外面, 到了一个名叫“铺石地”(希伯来话叫加巴大)的地方, 就在那里开庭审问.

19:14 (Now it was the day of preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, “Behold your king!”
那天是逾越节的预备日, 约在正午的时候. 彼拉多对犹太人说: “看, 你们的王! ”

19:15 Then those shouted, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests replied, “We do not have a king except Caesar!”
他们就喊叫起来: “除掉他! 除掉他! 把他钉十字架! ”彼拉多问他们: “我可以把你们的王钉十字架吗? ”祭司长回答: “除了凯撒, 我们没有王! ”

19:16 So then he handed him over to them in order that he could be crucified. So they took Jesus,
于是彼拉多把耶稣交给他们去钉十字架.

19:17 and carrying for himself the cross, he went out to the place called The Place of a Skull (which is called Golgotha in Aramaic),
他们把耶稣带去了. 耶稣自己背着十字架出来, 到了一个名叫“髑髅”的地方, 希伯来话叫各各他.

19:18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
他们就在那里把耶稣钉在十字架上; 和他一同钉十字架的, 还有两个人, 一边一个, 耶稣在中间.

19:19 And Pilate also wrote a notice and placed it on the cross, and it was written: “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”
彼拉多写了一个牌子, 放在十字架上头, 写的是: “犹太人的王拿撒勒人耶稣. ”

19:20 So many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.
有许多犹太人念了这牌子上所写的, 因为耶稣钉十字架的地方离城不远, 而且那牌子是用希伯来文,拉丁文和希腊文写的.

19:21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The king of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, I am king of the Jews.’ ”
犹太人的祭司长对彼拉多说: “不要写‘犹太人的王’, 要写‘这个人自称: 我是犹太人的王’. ”

19:22 Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.”
彼拉多说: “我所写的, 我已经写了! ”

19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothing and made four shares—for each soldier a share—and the tunic. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top in a single piece.)
士兵把耶稣钉了十字架之后, 就把他的衣服拿来, 分成四分, 每个兵一分. 他们又拿他的内衣; 这内衣是没有缝的, 是从上到下整件织成的.

19:24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it apart, but cast lots for it, to see whose it will be,” so that the scripture would be fulfilled that says, “They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.” Thus the soldiers did these things.
因此, 他们彼此说: “我们不要把它撕开, 我们来抽签吧, 看看是谁的. ”这就应验了经上所说的: “他们分了我的外衣, 又为我的内衣抽签. ”士兵果然这样作了.

19:25 Now his mother and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing near the cross of Jesus.
站在耶稣十字架旁边的, 有他母亲和他母亲的姊妹, 还有高罗巴的妻子马利亚, 和抹大拉的马利亚.

19:26 So Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son!”
耶稣看见母亲, 又看见他所爱的那门徒站在旁边, 就对母亲说: “母亲(“母亲”原文作“妇人”), 看! 你的儿子. ”

19:27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
然后他对那门徒说: “看! 你的母亲. ”从那时起, 那门徒就把她接到自己的家里去了.

19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that now at last everything was completed, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”
这事以后, 耶稣知道一切都已经成就了, 为了要使经上的话应验, 就说: “我渴了. ”

19:29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it to his mouth.
在那里有一个坛子, 盛满了酸酒, 他们就拿海绵浸了酸酒, 绑在牛膝草上, 送到他的口里.

19:30 Then when he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed,” and bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.
耶稣尝了那酸酒, 说: “成了! ”就低下头, 断了气.

19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away.
因为那天是预备日, 为了要避免尸体在安息日留在十字架上(因为那安息日是个重要的日子), 犹太人就请求彼拉多打断那些被钉十字架的人的腿, 把他们拿下来.

19:32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.
于是士兵来了, 把和耶稣一同钉十字架的那两个人的腿都先后打断了.

19:33 But when they came to Jesus, after they saw he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
他们来到耶稣那里, 看见他已经死了, 就没有打断他的腿.

19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately.
但是有一个士兵用枪刺他的肋旁, 立刻有血和水流出来.

19:35 And the one who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true, and that person knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
那看见这事的人已经作证了, 他的见证是真实的, 他也知道自己所说的是实在的, 使你们也相信.

19:36 For these things happened in order that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not a bone of his will be broken.”
这些事的发生, 是要应验经上所说的: “他的骨头, 一根也不可折断. ”

19:37 And again another scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”
另有一处经文说: “他们要仰望自己所刺的人. ”

19:38 And after these things, Joseph who was from Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but a secret one for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate allowed it, so he came and took away his body.
这些事以后, 有一个亚利马太人约瑟来求彼拉多, 要领耶稣的身体; 他因为怕犹太人, 就暗暗地作耶稣的门徒. 彼拉多批准了, 他便把耶稣的身体领去.

19:39 And Nicodemus—the one who had come to him formerly at night—also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds.
从前夜间来见耶稣的尼哥德慕也来了, 带着没药和沉香混合的香料, 约有三十二公斤.

19:40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in strips of linen cloth with the fragrant spices, as is the Jews’ custom to prepare for burial.
他们领取了耶稣的身体, 照着犹太人的葬礼的规例, 用细麻布和香料把他裹好.

19:41 Now there was a garden at the place where he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one was yet buried.
在耶稣钉十字架的地方, 有一个园子, 园里有一个新的墓穴, 是从来没有葬过人的.

19:42 So there, on account of the day of preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was close by, they buried Jesus.
因为那天是犹太人的预备日, 又因为那墓穴就在附近, 他们就把耶稣葬在那里.

John - Chapter 20

20:1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
礼拜日清早, 天还没有亮的时候, 抹大拉的马利亚来到墓旁, 看见石头已经从坟墓移开了.

20:2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they have put him!”
她就跑去见西门．彼得, 和耶稣所爱的那个门徒, 对他们说: “有人把主从坟墓里搬走了, 我们不知道他们把他放在哪里. ”

20:3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out and were going to the tomb.
彼得和那门徒就动身, 到坟墓那里去.

20:4 And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first.
两个人一齐跑, 那门徒比彼得跑得快, 先到了坟墓,

20:5 And bending over to look, he saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, though he did not go in.
屈身向里面观看, 看见细麻布还在那里, 但他却没有进去.

20:6 Then Simon Peter also came following him, and he went into the tomb and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there,
西门．彼得随后也到了; 他进入坟墓, 看见细麻布还放在那里,

20:7 and the facecloth that was on his head—not lying with the strips of linen cloth, but folded up separately in one place.
也看见耶稣的裹头巾, 没有和细麻布放在一起, 而是卷着放在一边.

20:8 So then the other disciple who had come to the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed.
那时, 先到坟墓的那门徒也进去, 他看见, 就信了.

20:9 (For they did not yet know the scripture that it was necessary for him to rise from the dead.)
他们还不明白经上所说“他必须从死人中复活”这句话的意思.

20:10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
于是两个门徒就回家去了.

20:11 But Mary stood outside at the tomb, weeping. Then, while she was weeping, she bent over to look into the tomb,
马利亚站在坟墓外面哭泣. 她哭的时候, 屈身往里面观看,

20:12 and she saw two angels in white, seated one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been lying.
看见两个身穿白衣的天使, 坐在安放耶稣身体的地方, 一个在头那边, 一个在脚那边.

20:13 And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him!”
天使问她: “妇人, 你为什么哭? ”她说: “有人把我的主搬走了, 我不知道他们把他放在哪里. ”

20:14 When she had said these things, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus.
马利亚说了这话, 就转过身来, 看见耶稣站在那里, 却不知道他就是耶稣.

20:15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She thought that it was the gardener, and said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.”
耶稣对她说: “妇人, 你为什么哭? 你找谁呢? ”马利亚以为耶稣是园丁, 就对他说: “先生, 如果是你把他挪去了, 请告诉我你把他放在什么地方, 我好去搬回来. ”

20:16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned around and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”).
耶稣对她说: “马利亚! ”她转过身来, 用希伯来话对他说: “拉波尼! ”(就是“老师”的意思. )

20:17 Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ ”
耶稣说: “你不要拉住我, 因为我还没有上去见父. 你要到我的弟兄们那里去, 告诉他们我要上去见我的父, 也是你们的父; 见我的神, 也是你们的神. ”

20:18 Mary Magdalene came and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and he had said these things to her.
抹大拉的马利亚就去, 向门徒报信说: “我已经看见主了! ”她又把主对她所说的话告诉他们.

20:19 Now when it was evening on that day—the first day of the week—and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace to you.”
礼拜日黄昏的时候, 门徒聚在一起, 因为怕犹太人, 就把门户都关上. 耶稣来了, 站在他们中间, 说: “愿你们平安. ”

20:20 And when he had said this, he showed his hands and his side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
说了这话, 就把手和肋旁给他们看. 门徒看见主, 就欢喜了.

20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”
耶稣又对他们说: “愿你们平安. 父怎样差遣了我, 我也怎样差遣你们. ”

20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
说了这话, 就向他们吹一口气, 说: “你们领受圣灵吧!

20:23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
你们赦免谁的罪, 谁的罪就得赦免; 你们不赦免谁的罪, 谁的罪就不得赦免. ”

20:24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
十二个门徒中, 有一个称为“双生子”的多马. 耶稣来的时候, 他没有和门徒在一起.

20:25 So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!”
其他的门徒对他说: “我们已经见过主了. ”多马对他们说: “除非我亲眼看见他手上的钉痕, 用我的指头探入那钉痕, 又用我的手探入他的肋旁, 我决不相信. ”

20:26 And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Although the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said, “Peace to you.”
过了八天, 门徒又在屋子里, 多马也和他们在一起. 门户都关上了. 耶稣来了, 站在他们中间, 说: “愿你们平安. ”

20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Place your finger here and see my hands, and place your hand and put it into my side. And do not be unbelieving, but believing!”
然后对多马说: “把你的指头放在这里, 看看我的手吧! 伸出你的手来, 探探我的肋旁! 不要疑惑, 只要信! ”

20:28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
多马对他说: “我的主! 我的神! ”

20:29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, have you believed? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
耶稣说: “你因为看见我才信吗? 那些没有看见就信的人, 是有福的. ”

20:30 Now Jesus also performed many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not recorded in this book,
耶稣在门徒面前还行了许多别的神迹, 没有记在这书上.

20:31 but these things are recorded in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
但把这些事记下来, 是要你们信耶稣是基督, 是神的儿子, 并且使你们信了, 可以因他的名得生命.

John - Chapter 21

21:1 After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now he revealed himself in this way:
这些事以后, 耶稣在提比里亚海边再次向门徒显现. 他显现的经过是这样的:

21:2 Simon Peter and Thomas (who was called Didymus) and Nathanael from Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee and two others of his disciples were together.
当时西门．彼得,称为“双生子”的多马,加利利的迦拿人拿但业,西庇太的两个儿子, 和另外两个门徒都聚在一起.

21:3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing!” They said to him, “We also are coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat, and during that night they caught nothing.
西门．彼得对他们说: “我要打鱼去. ”他们说: “我们也跟你一起去. ”于是他们出去, 上了船, 可是那一夜他们并没有打到什么.

21:4 Now when it was already early morning, Jesus stood on the beach. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
清早的时候, 耶稣站在岸边; 门徒却不知道他就是耶稣.

21:5 So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you? They answered him, “No.”
耶稣对他们说: “孩子们, 打到鱼没有? ”他们回答: “没有. ”

21:6 And he said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw it, and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.
耶稣说: “把网撒在船的右边, 就可以得着. ”他们就把网撒下去, 可是拉不上来, 因为鱼太多.

21:7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tied around himself his outer garment (for he was naked) and threw himself into the sea.
耶稣所爱的那门徒对彼得说: “是主! ”西门．彼得一听见是主, 就立刻束上外衣(因为他当时赤着身子), 纵身跳进海里.

21:8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net of fish, because they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away.
其他的门徒, 因为离岸不远(约有一百公尺), 就坐在小船上, 把那网鱼拖过来.

21:9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire laid there, and a fish lying on it, and bread.
他们上了岸, 就看见那里有一堆炭火, 上面有鱼有饼.

21:10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
耶稣对他们说: “把你们刚才打的鱼拿几条来. ”

21:11 So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net to the land, full of large fish—one hundred fifty-three—and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
西门．彼得就上船, 把网拉到岸上; 那网满了大鱼, 共有一百五十三条. 鱼虽然这么多, 网却没有破.

21:12 Jesus said to them, “Come, eat breakfast!” But none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew that it was the Lord.
耶稣对他们说: “你们来, 吃早饭吧. ”门徒中没有一个人敢问他: “你是谁? ”因为知道他是主.

21:13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
耶稣走过来, 拿饼递给他们, 又照样拿鱼递给他们.

21:14 This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.
这是耶稣从死人中复活之后, 第三次向门徒显现.

21:15 Now when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs!”
他们吃了早饭, 耶稣问西门．彼得: “约翰的儿子西门, 你爱我比这些更深吗? ”他回答: “主啊, 是的, 你知道我爱你. ”耶稣说: “你喂养我的小羊. ”

21:16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Shepherd my sheep!”
耶稣第二次又问他: “约翰的儿子西门, 你爱我吗? ”他回答: “主啊, 是的, 你知道我爱你. ”耶稣说: “你牧养我的羊. ”

21:17 He said to him a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed because he said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep!
耶稣第三次问他: “约翰的儿子西门, 你爱我吗? ”彼得因为耶稣第三次问他: “你爱我吗? ”就忧愁起来, 对耶稣说: “主啊, 你是无所不知的, 你知道我爱你. ”耶稣说: “你喂养我的羊.

21:18 Truly, truly I say to you, when you were young, you tied your clothes around yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will tie you up and carry you where you do not want to go.
我实实在在告诉你, 你年轻的时候, 自己束上腰带, 随意往来; 但到了年老的时候, 你要伸出手来, 别人要把你绑着, 带你到你不愿意去的地方. ”

21:19 (Now he said this to indicate by what kind of death he would glorify God.) And after he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me!”
耶稣说这话, 是指明彼得将怎样死, 来荣耀神. 说了这话, 就对彼得说: “你跟从我吧! ”

21:20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them (who also leaned back on his chest at the dinner and said, “Lord, who is the one betraying you?”)
彼得转过身来, 看见耶稣所爱的那门徒跟着, 就是在晚饭的时候, 靠着耶稣的胸膛, 问“主啊, 出卖你的是谁? ”的那个人.

21:21 So when he saw this one, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, but what about this one?”
彼得看见他, 就问耶稣: “主啊, 这个人将来怎么样? ”

21:22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”
耶稣回答他: “如果我要他活到我来的时候, 跟你有什么关系呢? 你只管跟从我吧! ”

21:23 So this saying went out to the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
于是这话流传在弟兄中间, 说那门徒不会死. 其实耶稣并没有说他不会死, 只是说: “如果我要他活到我来的时候, 跟你有什么关系呢? ”

21:24 This is the disciple who is testifying about these things, and who has written down these things. And we know that his testimony is true.
为这些事作证, 并且记述这些事的, 就是这门徒; 我们知道他的见证是真实的.

21:25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which—if they were written down one after the other—I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
耶稣所行的, 还有许多其他的事; 如果都一一写下来, 所要写成的书, 我想就是这个世界也容不下了.

Acts (使徒行传)

Acts - Chapter 1

1:1 I produced the former account, O Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
提阿非罗先生: 我已经写了前书, 叙述耶稣开始所行所教的一切,

1:2 until the day he was taken up, after he had given orders through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen,
一直到他借着圣灵吩咐所拣选的使徒之后, 被接上升的日子为止.

1:3 to whom he also presented himself alive after he suffered, with many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking the things about the kingdom of God.
他受难以后, 用许多凭据向使徒显示自己是活着的. 他向使徒显现, 并且讲论神的国的事, 有四十天之久.

1:4 And while he was with them, he commanded them, “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for what was promised by the Father, which you heard about from me.
耶稣和他们一同吃饭的时候, 吩咐他们不要离开耶路撒冷, 说: “你们要等候父的应许, 就是你们听我讲过的,

1:5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
约翰是用水施洗, 但再过几天, 你们要受圣灵的洗. ”

1:6 So when they had come together, they began asking him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
他们聚集的时候, 问耶稣说: “主啊, 你要在这时候使以色列复国吗? ”

1:7 But he said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority.
耶稣说: “父凭着自己的权柄所定的时间或日期, 你们不必知道.

1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth.”
可是圣灵降临在你们身上, 你们就必领受能力, 并且要在耶路撒冷,犹太全地,撒玛利亚, 直到地极, 作我的见证人. ”

1:9 And after he had said these things, while they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.
说完了, 他们还在看的时候, 他被接上升, 有一朵云把他接去, 就看不见他了.

1:10 And as they were staring into the sky while he was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood by them
当他往上升, 他们定睛望天的时候, 忽然有两个人, 身穿白衣, 站在他们旁边, 说:

1:11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand there looking into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!”
“加利利人哪, 为什么站着望天呢? 这位被接升天离开你们的耶稣, 你们看见他怎样往天上去, 他也要怎样回来. ”

1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain that is called Olive Grove which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
后来, 他们从橄榄山回到耶路撒冷. 那山靠近耶路撒冷, 有一安息日可走的路程.

1:13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying—Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas son of James.
他们进了城, 上了一间楼房, 就是彼得,约翰,雅各,安得烈,腓力,多马,巴多罗迈,马太,亚勒腓的儿子雅各,激进派的西门,雅各的儿子犹大等人所住的.

1:14 All these were busily engaged with one mind in prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.
这些人和几个妇女, 耶稣的母亲马利亚, 还有他的兄弟们, 都在一起, 同心地恒切祷告.

1:15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and it was a crowd of persons of about one hundred twenty at the same place) and said,
那时, 约有一百二十人聚会, 彼得在众弟兄中间站起来说:

1:16 “Men and brothers, it was necessary that the scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit proclaimed beforehand through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus,
“弟兄们, 经上的话, 就是圣灵借着大卫的口, 预言那领人捉拿耶稣的犹大的事, 是一定会应验的.

1:17 because he was counted among us and received a share in this ministry.”
他本是我们中间的一个, 一同领受了这职分.

1:18 (Now this man acquired a field for the wages of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines spilled out.
他用不义的酬劳买了一块田, 结果倒头栽了下去, 腹破肠流.

1:19 And it became known to all who live in Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own language “Akeldama,” that is, “Field of Blood.”)
这事住在耶路撒冷的人全都知道, 所以按当地的话, 那块地称为亚革大马, 意思就是‘血田’.

1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his residence become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it,’ and, ‘Let another person take his position.’
因为诗篇上写着: ‘愿他的住处变为荒场, 无人居在其中. ’又说: ‘愿别人取代他的职分. ’

1:21 Therefore it is necessary for one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
所以, 从约翰施洗起, 直到主离开我们被接上升的那天为止, 当他在我们中间来往的时候, 那些跟我们常在一起的人中, 应该有一个人出来与我们一同作耶稣复活的见证人. ”

1:22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us—one of these men must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.”
所以, 从约翰施洗起, 直到主离开我们被接上升的那天为止, 当他在我们中间来往的时候, 那些跟我们常在一起的人中, 应该有一个人出来与我们一同作耶稣复活的见证人. ”

1:23 And they proposed two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was called Justus) and Matthias.
于是他们提出两个人: 约瑟(号称巴撒巴, 又名犹士都)和马提亚,

1:24 And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show clearly which one of these two you have chosen
就祷告说: “主啊! 你知道万人的心, 求你从这两个人中, 指明你要拣选谁,

1:25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to depart to his own place.”
来承担这使徒的职位和工作. 这职位犹大已经放弃, 往他自己的地方去了. ”

1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was added to serve with the eleven apostles.
大家就为他们抽签, 结果抽中了马提亚, 他就与十一使徒同列.

Acts - Chapter 2

2:1 And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in the same place.

那时住在耶路撒冷的, 有从天下各国来的虔诚的犹太人.

2:6 And when this sound occurred, the crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one was hearing them speaking in his own language.
这声音一响, 许多人都聚了来, 人人都听见门徒讲出听众各人本乡的话, 就莫名其妙.

2:7 And they were astounded and astonished, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
他们又惊讶,又惊奇, 说: “你看, 这些说话的, 不都是加利利人吗?

2:8 And how do we hear, each one of us, in our own native language?
我们各人怎么听见他们讲我们从小所用的本乡话呢?

2:9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and those residing in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
我们帕提亚人,玛代人,以拦人和住在美索不达米亚,犹太,加帕多家,本都,亚西亚,

2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and the Romans who were in town,
弗吕家,旁非利亚,埃及, 并靠近古利奈的利比亚一带地方的人, 客居罗马的犹太人和归信犹太教的人,

2:11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own languages the great deeds of God!”
克里特人以及阿拉伯人, 都听见他们用我们的语言, 讲说神的大作为. ”

2:12 And all were amazed and greatly perplexed, saying to one another, “What can this mean?”
众人还在惊讶迷惘的时候, 彼此说: “这是什么意思? ”

2:13 But others jeered and said, “They are full of sweet new wine!”
另有些人讥笑说: “他们是给新酒灌醉了. ”

2:14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them, “Judean men, and all those who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and pay attention to my words!
彼得和十一使徒站起来, 他高声对众人说: “犹太人和所有住在耶路撒冷的人哪, 你们应当明白这件事, 也应该留心听我的话.

2:15 For these men are not drunk, as you assume, because it is the third hour of the day.
这些人并不是照你们所想的喝醉了, 现在不过是上午九点钟罢了.

2:16 But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
这正是约珥先知所说的:

2:17 ‘And it will be in the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
‘神说: 在末后的日子, 我要把我的灵浇灌所有的人, 你们的儿女要说预言, 你们的青年人要见异象, 你们的老年人要作异梦.

2:18 And even on my male slaves and on my female slaves I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
在那些日子, 我也要把我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女, 他们就要说预言.

2:19 And I will cause wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
我要在天上显出奇事, 在地上显出神迹, 有血,有火,有烟雾;

2:20 The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
太阳将变为黑暗, 月亮将变为血红, 在主伟大显赫的日子临到以前, 这一切都要发生.

2:21 And it will be that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’
那时, 凡求告主名的, 都必得救. ’

2:22 “Israelite men, listen to these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—
“以色列人哪, 请听听这几句话: 正如你们所知道的, 神已经借着拿撒勒人耶稣在你们中间施行了大能,奇事,神迹, 向你们证明他是神所立的.

2:23 this man, delivered up by the determined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed by nailing to a cross through the hand of lawless men.
他照着神的定旨和预知被交了出去, 你们就借不法之徒的手, 把他钉死了.

2:24 God raised him up, having brought to an end the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
神却把死的痛苦解除, 使他复活了, 因为他不能被死亡拘禁.

2:25 For David says with reference to him, ‘I saw the Lord before me continually, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
大卫指着他说: ‘我时常看见主在我面前, 因他在我右边, 我必不会动摇.

2:26 For this reason my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced greatly, furthermore also my flesh will live in hope,

2:29 “Men and brothers, it is possible to speak with confidence to you about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us until this day.
“弟兄们, 关于祖先大卫的事, 我不妨坦白告诉你们, 他死了, 葬了, 直到今日他的坟墓还在我们这里.

2:30 Therefore, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne,
他是先知, 既然知道神向他起过誓, 要从他的后裔中立一位, 坐在他的宝座上,

2:31 by having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he abandoned in Hades nor did his flesh experience decay.
又预先看见了这事, 就讲论基督的复活说: ‘他不会被撇在阴间, 他的肉身也不见朽坏. ’

2:32 This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
这位耶稣, 神已经使他复活了, 我们都是这事的见证人.

2:33 Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out this that you see and hear.
他既然被高举到神的右边, 从父领受了所应许的圣灵, 就把他浇灌下来, 这就是你们所看见所听见的.

2:34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
大卫并没有升到天上, 他却说: ‘主对我主说: 你坐在我的右边,

2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳. ’

2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified!”
因此, 以色列全家应当确实知道, 你们钉在十字架上的这位耶稣, 神已经立他为主为基督了. ”

2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “What should we do, men and brothers?”
他们听了以后, 觉得扎心, 就对彼得和其余的使徒说: “弟兄们, 我们应当作什么呢? ”

2:38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
彼得说: “你们应当悔改, 并且每一个人都要奉耶稣基督的名受洗, 使你们的罪得赦, 就必领受所赐的圣灵.

2:39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all those who are far away, as many as the Lord our God calls to himself.”
这应许原是给你们和你们的儿女, 以及所有在远方的人, 就是给凡是我们主神召来归他的人. ”

2:40 And with many other words he solemnly urged and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation!”
彼得还用许多别的话, 郑重作证, 并且劝勉他们, 说: “你们应当救自己脱离这弯曲的世代! ”

2:41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.
于是接受他话的人都受了洗, 那一天门徒增加了约三千人.

2:42 And they were devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayers.
他们恒心遵守使徒的教训, 彼此相通,擘饼和祈祷.

2:43 And fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were being performed by the apostles.
使徒行了许多奇事神迹, 众人就都惧怕.

2:44 And all who believed were in the same place, and had everything in common.
所有信的人都在一起, 凡物公用,

2:45 And they began selling their possessions and property, and distributing these things to all, to the degree that anyone had need.
并且变卖产业和财物, 按照各人的需要分给他们.

2:46 And every day, devoting themselves to meeting with one purpose in the temple courts and breaking bread from house to house, they were eating their food with joy and simplicity of heart,
他们天天同心在殿里恒切地聚集, 一家一家地擘饼, 存着欢乐和诚恳的心用饭,

2:47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding every day to the total of those who were being saved.
又赞美神, 并且得到全民的喜爱. 主将得救的人, 天天加给教会.

Acts - Chapter 3

3:1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
在下午三点祷告的时辰, 彼得和约翰上圣殿去.

3:2 And a certain man was being carried who was lame from birth. He was placed every day at the gate of the temple called “Beautiful,” so that he could ask for charitable gifts from those who were going into the temple courts.

3:10 And they recognized him, that this one was the one who used to sit asking for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.
他们一认出他就是那平时坐在圣殿美门口讨饭的, 就因所经历的事, 满心希奇, 惊讶不已.

3:11 And while he was holding fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s, utterly astonished.
那人拉着彼得和约翰的时候, 群众都很惊奇, 跑到他们那里, 就是所罗门廊的下面.

3:12 And when he saw it, Peter replied to the people, “Men and Israelites, why are you astonished at this? Or why are you staring at us, as if by our own power or godliness we have made him walk?
彼得看见了, 就对群众说: “以色列人哪, 为什么因这事希奇呢? 为什么瞪着我们, 好像我们是凭着自己的能力和虔诚, 使这人行走呢?

3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, after he had decided to release him.
亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各的神, 就是我们祖宗的神, 荣耀了他的仆人耶稣. 这位耶稣, 你们把他送交官府. 彼拉多本来定意要放他, 你们却当着彼拉多的面拒绝他.

3:14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and demanded that a man—a murderer—be granted to you.

是他的名(因信他的名)使你们所看见所认识的这个人强壮了. 这从耶稣而来的信心, 当着你们众人面前, 把他完全医好了.

3:17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also.
弟兄们, 我知道你们所作的, 是出于无知, 你们的官长也是这样.

Acts - Chapter 4

4:1 And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them,
使徒们正对群众讲话的时候, 祭司,圣殿的守卫, 和撒都该人来到他们那里.

4:2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
因为使徒教训群众, 并且传扬耶稣复活, 证明有死人复活这件事, 他们就非常恼怒,

4:3 And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.
于是下手拿住使徒. 那时天已经晚了, 就把他们拘留到第二天.

4:4 But many of those who listened to the message believed, and the number of the men was approximately five thousand.
然而有许多听道的人信了, 男人的数目, 约有五千.

4:5 And it happened that on the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes came together in Jerusalem,
第二天, 犹太人的官长,长老,经学家, 都聚集在耶路撒冷,

4:6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all those who were from the high priest’s family.
还有大祭司亚那和该亚法,约翰,亚历山大, 以及大祭司的家人, 所有的人都在那里.

4:7 And they made them stand in their midst and began to ask, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
他们叫使徒都站在当中, 查问说: “你们凭什么能力, 奉谁的名作这事? ”

4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,
当时彼得被圣灵充满, 对他们说: “民众的领袖和长老啊!

4:9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a sick man—by what means this man was healed—
我们今天受审, 如果是为了在那残疾人身上所行的善事, 就是这个人怎么会好的,

4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man stands before you healthy!
那么, 你们各位和以色列全民都应当知道, 站在你们面前这人好了, 是因拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名. 这位耶稣基督, 你们把他钉死在十字架上, 神却使他从死人中复活.

4:11 This one is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, that has become the cornerstone.
他是你们‘建筑工人所弃的石头, 成了房角的主要石头. ’

4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved.”
除了他以外, 别无拯救, 因为在天下人间, 没有赐下别的名, 我们可以靠着得救. ”

4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were astonished, and recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
他们看见彼得和约翰的胆量, 也知道这两个人是没有学问的平民, 就很惊奇; 同时认出他们是跟耶稣一伙的,

4:14 And because they saw the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in return.
又看见那医好了的人, 和他们一同站着, 就没有话可辩驳.

4:15 But after they had ordered them to go outside the Sanhedrin, they began to confer with one another,
于是吩咐他们到公议会外面去, 彼此商议说:

4:16 saying, “What should we do with these men? For that a remarkable sign has taken place through them is evident to all those who live in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it!
“对这些人我们应该怎么办呢? 因为有一件人所共知的神迹, 借着他们行了出来, 所有住在耶路撒冷的人都知道, 我们也无法否认.

4:17 But in order that it may not spread much further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more in this name to anyone at all.”
为了避免这件事在民间越传越广, 我们应该警告他们, 不许再奉这名向任何人谈道. ”

4:18 And they called them back and commanded them not to speak or to teach at all in the name of Jesus.
于是叫了他们来, 严禁他们再奉耶稣的名讲论施教.

4:19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than God, you decide!
彼得和约翰回答: “听从你们过于听从神, 在神面前对不对, 你们自己说吧!

4:20 For we are not able to refrain from speaking about the things that we have seen and heard.”
我们看见的听见的, 不能不说! ”

4:21 So after threatening them further, they released them, finding no way to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising God for what had happened.
众人因着所发生的事, 都颂赞神, 于是公议会为了群众的缘故, 也因为找不到借口惩罚他们, 就恐吓一番, 把他们放了.

4:22 For the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
原来借着神迹医好的那人, 有四十多岁了.

4:23 And when they were released, they went to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
彼得和约翰被释放了之后, 回到自己的人那里去, 把祭司长和长老说的一切, 都告诉他们.

4:24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices with one mind to God and said, “Master, you are the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them,
他们听了, 就同心向神高声说: “主啊, 你是那创造天地,海洋和其中万物的主宰.

4:25 the one who said by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples conspire in vain?
你曾以圣灵借着你仆人我们祖先大卫的口说: ‘列国为什么骚动? 万民为什么空谋妄想?

4:26 The kings of the earth stood opposed, and the rulers assembled together at the same place, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
地上的君王都起来, 首领聚在一起, 敌对主和他的受膏者. ’

4:27 For in truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, assembled together in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed,
希律和本丢．彼拉多, 外族人和以色列民, 真的在这城里聚集, 反对你所膏立的圣仆耶稣,

4:28 to do all that your hand and plan had predestined to take place.
行了你手和你旨意所预定要成就的一切.

4:29 And now, Lord, concern yourself with their threats and grant your slaves to speak your message with all boldness,
主啊, 他们恐吓我们, 现在求你鉴察, 也赐你仆人们大有胆量, 传讲你的道.

4:30 as you extend your hand to heal and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
求你伸手医治, 借着你圣仆耶稣的名, 大行神迹奇事. ”

4:31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.
他们祷告完了, 聚会的地方震动起来, 他们都被圣灵充满, 放胆传讲神的道.

4:32 Now the group of those who believed were one heart and soul, and no one said anything of what belonged to him was his own, but all things were theirs in common.
全体信徒一心一意, 没有一个人说自己的财物是自己的, 他们凡物公用.

4:33 And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.
使徒大有能力, 为主耶稣的复活作见证, 众人都蒙了大恩.

4:34 For there was not even anyone needy among them, because all those who were owners of plots of land or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds of the things that were sold
他们中间没有一个有缺乏的, 因为凡有田产房屋的都卖了, 把得到的钱拿来,

4:35 and placing them at the feet of the apostles. And it was being distributed to each as anyone had need.
放在使徒脚前, 照着各人的需要来分配.

4:36 So Joseph, who was called Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated “son of encouragement”), a Levite of Cyprus by nationality,
有一个人名叫约瑟, 使徒称他为巴拿巴, 就是“安慰者”的意思, 他是个利未人, 生在塞浦路斯.

4:37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and placed it at the feet of the apostles.
他卖掉了自己的田地, 把钱拿来, 放在使徒的脚前.

Acts - Chapter 5

5:1 Now a certain man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
有一个人名叫亚拿尼亚, 同他妻子撒非拉, 把田产卖了.

5:2 and he kept back for himself some of the proceeds, and his wife was aware of it. And he brought a certain part and placed it at the feet of the apostles.
他私底下把钱留了一部分, 妻子也知道这件事. 他把其余的一部分带来, 放在使徒的脚前.

5:3 But Peter said, “Ananias, for what reason has Satan filled your heart, that you lied to the Holy Spirit and kept back for yourself some of the proceeds of the piece of land?
彼得说: “亚拿尼亚, 为什么撒但充满了你的心, 使你欺骗圣灵, 私底下把卖地的钱留了一部分呢?

5:4 When it remained to you, did it not remain yours? And when it was sold, was it at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God!”
田地还没有卖, 不是你自己的吗? 既然卖了, 所得的钱不是由你作主吗? 你为什么存心这样作呢? 你这不是欺骗人, 而是欺骗神. ”

5:5 And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came on all those who heard about it.
亚拿尼亚一听见这话, 就仆倒断了气. 所有听见的人都十分害怕.

5:6 So the young men stood up, wrapped him up, and carried him out and buried him.
有几个青年人来把他包好, 抬出去埋了.

5:7 And it happened that there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
大约三小时之后, 亚拿尼亚的妻子进来, 还不知道发生了什么事.

5:8 And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you both were paid this much for the piece of land.” And she said, “Yes, this much.”
彼得问她: “你告诉我, 你们卖田地的钱, 就是这么多吗? ”她说: “是的, 就是这么多. ”

5:9 So Peter said to her, “How is it that it was agreed by you two to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”
彼得说: “你们为什么串同试探主的灵呢? 你看, 埋你丈夫的人的脚, 已经到了门口, 他们也要把你抬出去. ”

5:10 And immediately she fell down at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her with her husband.
她立刻就仆倒在彼得脚前, 断了气. 那些青年人进来, 发现她死了, 把她也抬出去, 埋在她丈夫旁边.

5:11 And great fear came on the whole church and on all who heard about these things.
全体会众和所有听见这事的人, 都很害怕.

5:12 Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people through the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico.
主借着使徒的手, 在民间行了许多神迹奇事. 他们都同心聚集在所罗门廊下,

5:13 And none of the rest dared to join them, but the people spoke highly of them.
其余的人, 没有一个敢接近他们, 可是民众都很敬重他们.

5:14 And even more believers in the Lord were being added, large numbers of both men and women,
信主的男男女女越来越多,

5:15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and put them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow would fall on some of them.
甚至有人把病人抬到街上, 放在小床和褥子上, 好让彼得经过时, 他的身影可以落在一些人身上.

5:16 And the people of the towns around Jerusalem also came together, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all being healed.
耶路撒冷周围城市的人, 也带着病人和受污灵缠扰的, 蜂拥而来, 结果病人全都医好了.

5:17 Now the high priest rose up and all those who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.
大祭司和他的同党撒都该人, 满心忌恨,

5:18 And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.
于是下手拿住使徒, 把他们押在公共拘留所里.

5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison and led them out and said,
夜间有一位天使, 打开监门, 把他们领出来, 说:

5:20 “Go and stand in the temple courts and proclaim to the people all the words of this life.”
“你们去, 站在殿里, 把一切有关这生命的话, 都讲给众民听. ”

5:21 And when they heard this, they entered at daybreak into the temple courts and began teaching. Now when the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin—even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel—and sent to the prison to have them brought.
使徒听完了, 就在黎明的时候, 进到殿里去施教. 大祭司和他的同党来到了, 就召齐了公议会, 就是以色列人的众长老, 派人到监牢去带使徒出来.

5:22 But the officers who came did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
差役到了监里, 找不到他们, 回来报告说:

5:23 saying, “We found the prison locked with all security and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
“我们发现监门紧闭, 狱卒也守在门外; 等到开了门, 里面连一个人也找不到. ”

5:24 Now when both the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed concerning them, as to what this might be.
圣殿的守卫和祭司长听了这些话, 觉得很困惑, 不知道这件事将来会怎样.

5:25 But someone came and reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple courts and teaching the people!”
忽然有人来报告说: “你们押在监里的那些人, 正站在殿里教导众民呢! ”

5:26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them, not with force (for they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned by them).
于是守卫和差役去带使徒来, 不过没有用暴力, 因为怕众民用石头打他们.

5:27 And when they had brought them, they made them stand in the Sanhedrin, and the high priest put a question to them,
既然带来了, 就叫他们站在公议会前. 大祭司问他们:

5:28 saying, “We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! And you are intending to bring upon us the blood of this man!”
“我们严厉地吩咐过你们, 不准再奉这名施教. 看, 你们却把你们的道理传遍了耶路撒冷, 想要把流这人的血的责任推到我们身上. ”

5:29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, “It is necessary to obey God rather than men!
彼得和众使徒回答: “服从神过于服从人, 是应当的.

5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
你们挂在木头上亲手杀害的耶稣, 我们祖先的神已经使他复活了.

5:31 This one God has exalted to his right hand as Leader and Savior to grant repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
神把他高举在自己的右边, 作元首作救主, 把悔改的心赐给了以色列人, 使他们罪得赦免.

5:32 And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”
我们为这些事作证, 神赐给顺从的人的圣灵也为这些事作证. ”

5:33 Now when they heard this, they were infuriated, and were wanting to execute them.
公议会的人听了, 非常恼怒, 就想要杀他们.

5:34 But a certain man stood up in the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people, and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.
但有一个法利赛人, 名叫迦玛列, 是民众所尊敬的律法教师. 他在公议会中站起来, 吩咐人把使徒暂时带出去,

5:35 And he said to them, “Men and Israelites, take care for yourselves what you are about to do to these men!
然后对大家说: “以色列人哪, 你们应当小心处理这些人!

5:36 For before these days, Theudas rose up saying he was somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was executed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.
从前有个丢大, 自命不凡, 附从他的人约有四百. 他一被杀, 跟从他的人尽都星散, 一败涂地.

5:37 After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and caused people to follow him in revolt. And that one perished, and all who followed him were scattered.
这人之后, 在户口登记的时候, 又有一个加利利人犹大, 拉拢人们来跟从他. 后来他也丧命, 跟从他的人也就烟消云散了.

5:38 And now I tell you, keep away from these men, and leave them alone, because if this plan or this matter is from people, it will be overthrown.
至于目前的事, 我劝你们不要管这些人, 由他们吧! 因为这计划或这行动, 如果是出于人意, 终必失败;

5:39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them, lest you even be found fighting against God.” So they were persuaded by him.
如果是出于神, 你们就不能破坏他们, 恐怕你们是与神作对了. ”他们接受了他的劝告,

5:40 And they summoned the apostles, beat them, commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
就传使徒进来, 鞭打一顿, 禁止他们奉耶稣的名传讲, 就把他们释放了.

5:41 So they went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin rejoicing, because they had been considered worthy to be dishonored for the sake of the name.
使徒欢欢喜喜从公议会里出来, 因为他们算是配得为主的名受辱.

5:42 Every day, both in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that the Christ was Jesus.
他们天天在殿里并在各人的家中, 不断地施教, 传讲耶稣是基督.

Acts - Chapter 6

6:1 Now in these days, as the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose by the Greek-speaking Jews against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
门徒不断增加的时候, 讲希腊话的犹太人, 埋怨本地的希伯来人, 因为在日常的供给上, 忽略了他们的寡妇.

6:2 So the twelve summoned the community of disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we neglect the word of God to serve tables.
于是十二使徒召集了众门徒, 说: “要我们放下神的道, 去管理伙食, 是不合适的.

6:3 So, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we will put in charge of this need.
所以弟兄们, 应当从你们中间选出七个有好见证,满有圣灵和智慧的人, 我们就派他们负责这事.

6:4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
至于我们, 我们要专心祈祷,传道. ”

6:5 And the statement pleased the whole group, and they chose Stephen (a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit), and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus (a convert from Antioch),
这个意见全会众都很满意, 于是选出司提反, 他是一位满有信心和圣灵的人, 还有腓利,伯罗哥罗,尼加挪,提门,巴米拿, 以及归信犹太教的安提阿人尼哥拉,

6:6 whom they stood before the apostles. And they prayed and placed their hands on them.
叫他们站在使徒面前. 使徒祷告后, 就为他们按手.

6:7 And the word of God kept spreading, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was increasing greatly, and a large number of priests began obeying the faith.
神的道传开了; 在耶路撒冷, 门徒人数大大增加, 有很多祭司也信从了真道.

6:8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
司提反满有恩惠能力, 在民间施行大奇事和神迹.

6:9 But some of those from the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and disputed with Stephen.
当时有几个称为“自由人”会堂的人, 就是从古利奈和亚历山太来的人, 另外还有基利家人和亚西亚人, 他们出面与司提反辩论,

6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
但司提反靠着圣灵和智慧说话, 他们就抵挡不住.

6:11 Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God!”
于是他们唆使众人, 说: “我们听过他说谤渎摩西和神的话. ”

6:12 And they incited the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came up and seized him and brought him to the Sanhedrin.
又煽动民众,长老,经学家, 这些人就来捉拿他, 把他带到公议会,

6:13 And they put forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop speaking words against the holy place and the law!
并且造了假的证供说: “这人不断抨击圣地和律法.

6:14 For we have heard him saying that this Nazarene Jesus will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
我们听他说过: ‘这拿撒勒人耶稣要毁坏这地方, 改变摩西传给我们的规例. ’”

6:15 And as they looked intently at him, all those who were sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face was like the face of an angel.
当时, 坐在公议会里的人, 都注视他, 见他的面貌像天使一样.

Acts - Chapter 7

7:1 And the high priest said, “Is it so concerning these things?”
大祭司说: “真有这些事吗? ”

7:2 So he said, “Men—brothers and fathers—listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,
司提反说: “各位父老兄弟请听! 我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕, 在美索不达米亚, 还没有住在哈兰的时候, 荣耀的神向他显现,

7:3 and said to him, ‘Go out from your land and from your relatives and come to the land that I will show you.’
对他说: ‘你要离开本地本族, 到我指示你的地方去. ’

7:4 Then he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, he caused him to move to this land in which you now live.
他就离开迦勒底人的地方, 住在哈兰. 他父亲死后, 神又叫他从那里迁到你们现在所住的地方.

7:5 And he did not give him an inheritance in it—not even a footstep—and he promised to give it to him for his possession, and to his descendants after him, although he did not have a child.
在这里神并没有赐他产业, 连立足之地也没有. 但神应许把这地赐给他和他的后裔为业, 虽然那时他还没有儿子.

7:6 But God spoke like this: ‘His descendants will be foreigners in a foreign land, and they will enslave them and mistreat them four hundred years,
神就这样说: ‘你的后裔必在外地寄居, 人要奴役,虐待他们四百年. ’

7:7 and the nation that they will serve as slaves, I will judge,’ God said, ‘and after these things they will come out and will worship me in this place.’
神又说: ‘奴役他们的那个国家, 我要亲自惩罚. 以后, 他们要出来, 在这地方事奉我. ’

7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac did so with Jacob, and Jacob did so with the twelve patriarchs.
神也赐他割礼为约. 这样, 亚伯拉罕生了以撒, 第八天就给他行了割礼. 后来, 以撒生雅各, 雅各生了十二位祖先.

7:9 And the patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. And God was with him,
“祖先妒忌约瑟, 把他卖到埃及去, 然而神与他同在,

7:10 and rescued him from all his afflictions and granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.
救他脱离一切苦难, 使他在埃及王法老面前, 有智慧,得恩宠. 法老立他为首相, 管理埃及和法老的全家.

7:11 And a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan and great affliction, and our fathers could not find food.
后来埃及和迦南全地遭遇饥荒,大灾难, 我们的祖先找不到粮食.

7:12 So when Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
雅各听见埃及有谷粮, 就派我们的祖先去, 这是第一次.

7:13 And on the second visit Joseph was made known to his brothers, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
第二次的时候, 约瑟就向哥哥们表露自己的身世, 法老才知道约瑟的家世.

7:14 So Joseph sent and summoned his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five persons in all.
约瑟就派人去把他父亲雅各和全家七十五人都接来.

7:15 And Jacob went down to Egypt and died, he and our fathers.
于是雅各下了埃及. 后来他和我们祖先都死了,

7:16 And they were brought back to Shechem and buried in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
运到示剑, 埋葬在亚伯拉罕用银子向哈抹子孙买来的坟地里.

7:17 “But as the time of the promise that God had made to Abraham was drawing near, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt

7:18 until another king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph.
但是, 到了另一位不认识约瑟的君王兴起统治埃及的时候,

7:19 This man deceitfully took advantage of our people and mistreated our ancestors, causing them to abandon their infants so that they would not be kept alive.
他就谋害我们的同胞, 虐待我们的祖先, 逼他们拋弃自己的婴孩, 不容婴孩存活.

7:20 At this time Moses was born, and he was beautiful to God. He was brought up for three months in his father’s house,
就在那时候, 摩西出生了, 他非常俊美, 在父亲的家中抚养了三个月.

7:21 and when he was abandoned, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up and brought him up as her own son.

7:24 And when he saw one of them being unjustly harmed, he defended him and avenged the one who had been oppressed by striking down the Egyptian.
当他看见有一个人受欺负, 就去护卫, 为那受屈的抱不平, 打死了那个埃及人.

7:25 And he thought his brothers would understand that God was granting deliverance to them by his hand, but they did not understand.
他以为同胞们都必知道神要借着他的手拯救他们, 事实上他们却不知道.

7:26 And on the following day, he made an appearance to them while they were fighting and was attempting to reconcile them in peace, saying, ‘Men and brothers, why are you doing wrong to one another?’
第二天, 有人在打架, 摩西就出面调解, 说: ‘你们是弟兄, 为什么彼此欺负呢? ’

7:27 But the one who was doing wrong to his neighbor pushed him aside, saying, ‘Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us?
那欺负人的把他推开, 说: ‘谁立了你作我们的领袖和审判官呢?

7:28 You do not want to do away with me the same way you did away with the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’
难道你想杀我, 像昨天杀那个埃及人一样吗? ’

7:29 And at this statement, Moses fled and became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
摩西因为这句话, 就逃到米甸地寄居, 在那里生了两个儿子.

7:30 “And when forty years had been completed, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai in the flame of a burning bush.
“过了四十年, 在西奈山的旷野, 有一位使者, 在荆棘中的火焰里, 向摩西显现.

7:31 And when Moses saw it, he was astonished at the sight, and when he approached to look at it, the voice of the Lord came:
他见了这个异象, 十分惊奇; 他正上前察看的时候, 就有主的声音说:

7:32 ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob!’ So Moses began trembling and did not dare to look at it.
‘我是你祖宗的神, 就是亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各的神. ’摩西战战兢兢, 不敢观看.

7:33 And the Lord said to him, ‘Untie the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.
主对他说: ‘把你脚上的鞋脱掉, 因为你所站的地方是圣地.

7:34 I have certainly seen the mistreatment of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
我的子民在埃及所受的痛苦, 我实在看见了; 他们的叹息我也听见了, 我下来是要救他们. 你来, 我要派你到埃及去. ’

7:35 This Moses whom they had repudiated, saying, ‘Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?’—this man God sent as both ruler and redeemer with the help of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
他们拒绝了这位摩西, 说: ‘谁立了你作领袖和审判官呢? ’但神借着在荆棘中向他显现的使者的手, 派他作领袖和救赎者.

7:36 This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years.
这人领他们出来, 并且在埃及地,红海和旷野, 行奇事神迹四十年.

7:37 “This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
以前那位对以色列人说‘神要从你们弟兄中间, 给你们兴起一位先知像我’的, 就是这摩西.

7:38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and who with our fathers received living oracles to give to us,
那曾经在旷野的大会中, 和那在西奈山上对他说话的使者同在, 也与我们的祖先同在的, 就是他. 他领受了活的圣言, 传给我们.

7:39 to whom our fathers were not willing to become obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
我们的祖先不肯听从他, 反而把他推开, 他们的心已经转向了埃及,

7:40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go on before us! For this Moses, who led us out from the land of Egypt—we do not know what has happened to him!’
就对亚伦说: ‘给我们做一些神像, 可以走在我们前头. 因为把我们从埃及地领出来的那个摩西, 我们不知道他遭遇了什么事. ’

7:41 And they manufactured a calf in those days, and offered up a sacrifice to the idol, and began rejoicing in the works of their hands.
在那些日子里, 他们做了一个牛犊, 把祭物献给那偶像, 并且因自己手所做的而欢乐.

7:42 But God turned away and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, just as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘You did not bring offerings and sacrifices to me for forty years in the wilderness, did you, house of Israel?
于是神转身离开, 任凭他们事奉天象, 正如先知书所说: ‘以色列家啊, 你们在旷野四十年, 岂是将祭牲和祭物献给我呢?

7:43 And you took along the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan, the images that you made, to worship them, and I will deport you beyond Babylon!’
你们抬着摩洛的帐幕, 和理番神的星, 就是你们做来敬拜的像. 所以我要把你们放逐到巴比伦那一边去. ’

7:44 The tabernacle of the testimony belonged to our fathers in the wilderness, just as the one who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the design that he had seen,
“我们的祖先在旷野有作证的帐幕, 就是跟摩西谈话的那位指示他, 依照他看见的样式做的.

7:45 and which, after receiving it in turn, our fathers brought in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David,
我们的祖先相继承受了这帐幕, 神把外族人从他们面前赶走以后, 他们就同约书亚把帐幕带进所得为业的地方, 直到大卫的日子.

7:46 who found favor in the sight of God and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
大卫在神面前蒙了恩, 就求为雅各的神找个居所,

7:47 But Solomon built a house for him.
而由所罗门为他建造殿宇.

7:48 But the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands, just as the prophet says,
其实至高者并不住人手所造的, 正如先知说:

7:49 ‘Heaven is my throne and earth is the footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?
‘主说: 天是我的宝座, 地是我的脚凳, 你们要为我建造怎样的殿呢? 哪里是我安息的地方呢?

7:50 Did not my hand make all these things?’
这一切不都是我手所造的吗? ’

7:51 “You stiff-necked people and uncircumcised in hearts and in your ears! You constantly resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so also do you!
“你们颈项刚硬,心和耳都未受割礼的人哪! 你们时常抗拒圣灵, 你们的祖先怎样, 你们也怎样.

7:52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand about the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become,
有哪一个先知, 你们的祖先不迫害呢? 你们杀了那些预先宣告那义者要来的人, 现在又把那义者出卖了, 杀害了.

7:53 you who received the law by directions of angels and have not observed it!”
你们领受了由天使传达的律法, 却不遵守. ”

7:54 Now when they heard these things, they were infuriated in their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.
众人听了这些话, 心中非常恼怒, 就向着司提反咬牙切齿.

7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
但司提反被圣灵充满, 定睛望着天, 看见神的荣耀, 并且看见耶稣站在神的右边,

7:56 And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
就说: “看哪! 我看见天开了, 人子站在神的右边. ”

7:57 But crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears and rushed at him with one purpose.
众人大声喊叫, 掩着耳朵, 一齐向他冲过去,

7:58 And after they had driven him out of the city, they began to stone him, and the witnesses laid aside their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.

7:59 And they kept on stoning Stephen as he was calling out and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
他们用石头打司提反的时候, 他呼求说: “主耶稣啊, 求你接收我的灵魂! ”

7:60 And falling to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And after he said this, he fell asleep.
然后跪下来大声喊着说: “主啊, 不要把这罪归给他们! ”说了这话, 就睡了.

Acts - Chapter 8

8:1 And Saul was agreeing with his murder. Now there happened on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
司提反被害, 扫罗也欣然同意. 从那天起, 耶路撒冷的教会大受迫害; 除了使徒以外, 所有的人都分散到犹太和撒玛利亚各地.

8:2 And devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him.
有些虔诚的人安葬了司提反, 为他大大悲痛一番.

8:3 But Saul was attempting to destroy the church. Entering house after house, he dragged off both men and women and delivered them to prison.
扫罗却残害教会, 逐家进去, 连男带女拉去坐监.

8:4 Now those who had been scattered went about proclaiming the good news of the word.

8:7 For many of those who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them, crying out with a loud voice, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
许多人有污灵附在他们身上, 污灵大声喊叫了之后, 就出来了; 还有许多瘫子瘸子都医好了.

有一个人名叫西门, 从前在城里行过邪术, 使撒玛利亚的居民惊奇, 他又自命不凡,

城里大大小小都听从他, 说: “这就是那称为‘神的大能’的人. ”

8:11 And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had astonished them with his magic.
他们听从他, 因为他长久用邪术, 使他们惊奇.

8:12 But when they believed Philip as he was proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were being baptized.
等到腓利向他们传了神的国的福音, 和耶稣基督的名, 他们就信了腓利, 连男带女都受了洗.

8:13 And Simon himself also believed, and after he was baptized he was keeping close company with Philip. And when he saw the signs and great miracles that were taking place, he was astonished.
连西门自己也信了, 他受洗之后, 常和腓利在一起, 看见所发生的神迹和大能的事, 就觉得很惊奇.

8:14 Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
在耶路撒冷的使徒, 听见撒玛利亚居民领受了神的道, 就差派彼得和约翰到他们那里去.

8:15 who went down and prayed for them so that they would receive the Holy Spirit.
二人到了, 就为大家祷告, 要让他们接受圣灵.

8:16 (For he had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
因为圣灵还没有降在他们任何一个身上, 他们只是受了洗归入主耶稣的名下.

8:17 Then they placed their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
于是使徒为他们按手, 他们就受了圣灵.

8:18 Now Simon, when he saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, offered them money,

8:20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver be destroyed along with you, because you thought you could acquire the gift of God by means of money!
彼得对他说: “你的银子跟你一同灭亡吧! 因为你以为神的恩赐, 是可以用钱买的.

8:21 You have no part or share in this matter, because your heart is not right before God.
你和这件事是毫无关系的, 因为你在神面前存心不正.

8:22 Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and ask the Lord if perhaps the intent of your heart may be forgiven you!”
所以, 你要悔改离弃这罪恶, 要祈求主, 也许你心中的意念可以得到赦免.

8:23 For I see you are in a state of bitter envy and bound by unrighteousness.”
我看出你正在苦胆之中, 邪恶捆绑着你. ”

8:24 But Simon answered and said, “You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said will come upon me.”
西门回答: “请你们为我求主, 好让你们所说的, 没有一样临到我身上. ”

8:25 So when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they turned back toward Jerusalem, and were proclaiming the good news to many villages of the Samaritans.
使徒作了见证, 讲了主的道, 就回耶路撒冷去, 一路上在撒玛利亚人的许多村庄里传扬福音.

8:26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Get up and go toward the south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.)
有主的一位使者对腓利说: “起来, 向南走, 往那从耶路撒冷下迦萨的路上去. ”那条路在旷野里.

8:27 And he got up and went, and behold, there was a man, an Ethiopian eunuch (a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury) who had come to worship in Jerusalem
他就动身去了. 有一个衣索匹亚人, 是衣索匹亚女王干大基有权力的太监, 掌管女王全部国库. 他上耶路撒冷去礼拜.

8:28 and was returning and sitting in his chariot, and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah.
他回去的时候, 坐在车上读以赛亚先知的书.

8:29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Approach and join this chariot.”
圣灵对腓利说: “你往前去, 靠近那车子! ”

8:30 So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading aloud Isaiah the prophet and said, “So then, do you understand what you are reading?”
腓利就跑过去, 听见他读以赛亚先知的书, 就问他: “你所读的, 你明白吗? ”

8:31 And he said, “So how could I, unless someone will guide me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
他说: “没有人指导我, 怎能明白呢? ”于是请腓利上车, 同他坐在一起.

8:32 Now the passage of scripture that he was reading aloud was this: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
他所读的那段经文, 就是: “他像羊被牵去宰杀, 又像羊羔在剪毛的人面前无声, 他总是这样不开口.

8:33 In his humiliation justice was taken from him. Who can describe his descendants? For his life was taken away from the earth.”
他受屈辱的时候, 得不到公平的审判, 谁能说出他的身世呢? 因为他的生命从地上被夺去. ”

8:34 And the eunuch answered and said to Philip, “I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this—about himself or about someone else?”
太监对腓利说: “请问先知这话是指谁说的? 指他自己呢? 还是指别人? ”

8:35 So Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this scripture, proclaimed the good news to him about Jesus.
腓利就开口, 从这段经文开始, 向他传讲耶稣.

8:36 And as they were traveling down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?”
他们一路走, 到了有水的地方, 太监说: “你看, 这里有水, 有什么可以阻止我受洗呢? ”

8:37
(有些抄本在此有第37节: “腓利说: ‘你若全心相信, 就可以受洗. ’他回答说: ‘我信耶稣基督是神的儿子. ’”)

8:38 And he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water—Philip and the eunuch—and he baptized him.
于是太监吩咐停车, 腓利和他两人下到水中, 腓利就给他施洗.

8:39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any longer, for he went on his way rejoicing.
他们从水里上来的时候, 主的灵就把腓利提去了, 太监再也看不见他, 就欢欢喜喜地上路.

8:40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
后来有人在亚锁都遇见腓利. 他走遍各城, 传讲福音, 直到该撒利亚.

Acts - Chapter 9

9:1 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
扫罗仍向主的门徒发恐吓凶杀的话. 他到大祭司那里,

9:2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he could bring them tied up to Jerusalem.
要求他发公函给大马士革各会堂, 如果发现奉行这道的人, 准他连男带女缉拿到耶路撒冷.

9:3 Now as he proceeded, it happened that when he approached Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
他快到大马士革的时候, 忽然有光从天上向他四面照射.

9:4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
他仆倒在地, 听见有声音对他说: “扫罗, 扫罗! 你为什么迫害我? ”

9:5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting!
他说: “主啊, 你是谁? ”主说: “我就是你所迫害的耶稣.

9:6 But get up and enter into the city, and it will be told to you what you must do.”
起来, 进城去! 你应当作的事, 一定有人告诉你. ”

9:7 (Now the men who were traveling together with him stood speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)
同行的人, 听见声音, 却看不见人, 只是目瞪口呆地站在那里.

9:8 So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open he could see nothing. And leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
扫罗从地上爬起来, 睁开眼睛, 却什么也看不见. 他们牵着他的手, 领他进大马士革.

9:9 And he was unable to see for three days, and he did not eat or drink.
他三天都不能看见什么, 不吃也不喝.

9:10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Behold, here I am, Lord!”
在大马士革, 有一个门徒名叫亚拿尼亚, 主在异象中对他说: “亚拿尼亚! ”他说: “主啊, 我在这里. ”

9:11 And the Lord said to him, “Get up, go to the street called ‘Straight’ and in the house of Judas look for a man named Saul from Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
主说: “起来, 到那叫直街的路上去, 要在犹大家里找一个大数人, 名叫扫罗. 你看, 他正在祷告,

9:12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and placing hands on him so that he may regain his sight.”
在异象中他看见一个人, 名叫亚拿尼亚, 进来为他按手, 使他可以再看得见. ”

9:13 But Ananias replied, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,
但亚拿尼亚回答: “主啊, 我听见许多人说起这个人, 他在耶路撒冷作了许多苦害你圣徒的事;

9:14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to tie up all who call upon your name!”
并且他在这里得到祭司长的授权, 要捆绑所有求告你名的人. ”

9:15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel.
主对他说: “你去吧! 这人是我拣选的器皿, 为要把我的名传给外族人,君王和以色列人.

9:16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”
我要指示他, 为了我的名他必须受许多的苦. ”

9:17 So Ananias departed and entered into the house, and placing his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
亚拿尼亚就去了, 进了那家, 为扫罗按手, 说: “扫罗弟兄, 在你来的路上向你显现的耶稣, 就是主, 差我来使你可以看见, 又被圣灵充满. ”

9:18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight and got up and was baptized,
立刻有鳞状的东西, 从扫罗的眼里掉下来, 他就能看见了. 于是起来, 受了洗,

9:19 and after taking food, he regained his strength. And he was with the disciples in Damascus several days.
吃过了饭, 就有气力了. 他和大马士革的门徒一同住了几天,

9:20 And immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues: “This one is the Son of God!”
随即在各会堂传讲耶稣, 说他是神的儿子.

9:21 And all who heard him were amazed, and were saying, “Is this not the one who was wreaking havoc in Jerusalem on those who call upon this name, and had come here for this reason, that he could bring them tied up to the chief priests?”
听见的人都很惊奇, 说: “在耶路撒冷残害求告这名的, 不是这个人吗? 他来这里不是要缉拿他们交给祭司长吗? ”

9:22 But Saul was increasing in strength even more, and was confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this one is the Christ.
然而扫罗更加有能力, 驳倒住在大马士革的犹太人, 证明耶稣是基督.

9:23 And when many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted to do away with him.
过了许多日子, 犹太人商议要杀掉扫罗;

9:24 But their plot became known to Saul, and they were also watching the gates both day and night so that they could do away with him.
但他们的计谋给扫罗知道了. 他们就在各城门日夜把守, 要杀掉他.

9:25 But his disciples took him at night and let him down through the wall by lowering him in a basket.
于是他的门徒就漏夜用大篮子把他从城墙上缒下去.

9:26 And when he arrived in Jerusalem, he was attempting to associate with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
扫罗到了耶路撒冷, 想要接近门徒, 但大家都怕他, 不信他是个门徒.

9:27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
只有巴拿巴接待他, 带他去见使徒, 把他怎样在路上看见主, 主向他说话, 和他怎样在大马士革奉耶稣的名放胆讲道, 都讲了出来.

9:28 And he was going in and going out among them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
于是扫罗在耶路撒冷和门徒一同出入, 奉主的名放胆讲道,

9:29 And he was speaking and debating with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they were trying to do away with him.
并且与讲希腊话的犹太人谈论辩驳, 那些人却想下手杀他.

9:30 And when the brothers found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
弟兄们知道了, 就送他到该撒利亚, 差他往大数去.

9:31 Then the church throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being strengthened. And living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it was increasing in numbers.
那时犹太,加利利,撒玛利亚各处的教会, 都得到平安, 被建立起来, 存着敬畏主的心过生活, 并且因着圣灵的激励, 人数增多起来.

9:32 Now it happened that as Peter was traveling through all the places, he also came down to the saints who lived in Lydda.
彼得周游各地的时候, 也到了住在吕大的圣徒那里.

9:33 And he found there a certain man named Aeneas who was paralyzed, who had been lying on a mat for eight years.
他遇见一个人, 名叫以尼雅, 害了瘫痪病, 在床上躺卧了八年.

9:34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and make your bed yourself!” And immediately he got up.

9:35 And all those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him, who all indeed turned to the Lord.
所有住在吕大和沙仑的人, 看见了他就归向主.

9:36 Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple named Tabitha (which translated means “Dorcas”). She was full of good deeds and charitable giving which she was constantly doing.
在约帕有一个女门徒, 名叫戴比莎, 希腊话叫多加; 她为人乐善好施.

9:37 Now it happened that in those days after becoming sick, she died. And after washing her, they placed her in an upstairs room.
那时, 她因病死了; 有人把她洗净了, 停放在楼上.

9:38 And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was in Lydda, sent two men to him, urging, “Do not delay to come to us!”
吕大靠近约帕, 门徒听说彼得在那边, 就派两个人去求他, 说: “请到我们那边去, 不要耽延! ”

9:39 So Peter got up and accompanied them. When he arrived, they brought him up to the upstairs room, and all the widows came to him, weeping and showing him tunics and other clothing that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.
彼得就动身, 跟他们一同去. 到了之后, 他们领他上楼. 所有寡妇站在彼得旁边哭, 把多加和她们在一起的时候所做的内衣外衣拿给他看.

9:40 But Peter sent them all outside, and, falling to his knees, he prayed. And turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
彼得叫大家出去之后, 就跪下来祷告, 然后转过身来对着尸体说: “戴比莎, 起来! ”她就睁开眼睛, 一看见彼得, 就坐了起来.

9:41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up. And he called the saints and the widows and presented her alive.

有一天, 大约下午三点钟, 他在异象中, 清清楚楚看见神的一位天使来到他那里, 对他说: “哥尼流! ”

他定睛一看, 害怕起来, 说: “主啊, 什么事? ”天使说: “你的祷告和善行, 已经达到神面前, 蒙他记念了.

10:17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having found the house of Simon by asking around, stood at the gate.
彼得犹豫不定, 不明白所看见的异象是什么意思, 恰好哥尼流派来的人, 找到西门的家, 站在门口,

10:18 And they called out and asked if Simon who was also called Peter was staying there as a guest.
大声问: “有没有一个名叫彼得的西门在这里作客? ”

10:19 And while Peter was reflecting about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, men are looking for you.

于是彼得下楼到他们那里, 说: “看, 我就是你们所要找的人. 你们是为什么来的? ”

10:22 And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man—and well spoken of by the whole nation of the Jews—was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear words from you.”
他们说: “百夫长哥尼流是个义人, 敬畏神, 全犹太族都称赞他. 他得到一位圣天使的指示, 请你到他家里, 要听你的话. ”

彼得就请他们进去, 留他们住下. 第二天, 彼得动身跟他们一同去, 另有约帕的几位弟兄同行.

10:24 And on the next day he entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends.
第三天, 他们到了该撒利亚. 哥尼流已经招聚了自己的亲戚好友在恭候他们.

10:25 So it happened that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.

就对他们说: “你们知道, 犹太人本来是不准和外国人接近来往的, 但神已经指示了我, 不可把任何人当作凡俗或不洁的.

所以我一被邀请, 就毫不推辞地来了. 现在请问: 你们请我来是为什么事? ”

10:30 And Cornelius said, “Four days ago at this hour, the ninth, I was praying in my house. And behold, a man in shining clothing stood before me
哥尼流说: “四天以前下午三点钟, 我在家里祷告的时候, 忽然有一位身穿光明衣服的人, 站在我面前,

10:31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charitable deeds have been remembered before God.
说: ‘哥尼流, 你的祷告已蒙垂听, 你的善行在神面前已蒙记念.

你要派人到约帕去, 请那个名叫彼得的西门来. 他在海边一个制皮工人西门的家作客. ’

你们知道: 在约翰传讲洗礼之后, 这道从加利利传遍了犹太,

10:38 Jesus of Nazareth—how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.
并且知道神怎样用圣灵和能力膏立拿撒勒人耶稣. 他到各处行善事, 医好所有被魔鬼压制的人, 因为神与他同在.

神叫他第三天复活, 并且使他显现,

10:41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen beforehand by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
不是显现给所有的人看, 而是给神预先拣选的见证人看, 就是我们这些在他从死人中复活之后, 与他一同吃喝的人.

10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who were listening to the message.
彼得还在说话的时候, 圣灵降在所有听道的人身上,

10:45 And those believers from the circumcision who had accompanied Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles,
那些受了割礼,跟彼得一同来的信徒, 因为圣灵的恩赐也浇灌在外族人的身上, 都很惊讶;

10:46 for they heard them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter said,
原来听见他们讲方言, 尊神为大. 于是彼得说:

10:47 “Surely no one can withhold the water for these people to be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did!”
“这些人既然领受了圣灵, 跟我们一样, 谁能禁止他们受水的洗礼呢? ”

10:48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for several days.
就吩咐他们奉耶稣基督的名受洗. 后来, 他们请彼得住了几天.

Acts - Chapter 11

11:1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had accepted the word of God.
使徒和在犹太的弟兄们, 听说外族人也接受了神的道.

11:2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision took issue with him,

11:3 saying, “You went to men who were uncircumcised and ate with them!”
说: “你竟然到未受割礼的人那里, 跟他们一起吃饭! ”

11:4 But Peter began and explained it to them in an orderly sequence, saying,
彼得就按着次序向他们讲解, 说:

11:5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision—an object something like a large sheet coming down, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came to me.
“我在约帕城祷告的时候, 魂游象外, 见到异象: 有一件东西, 好像一块大布, 绑着四角, 从天上降下来, 一直来到我面前.

11:6 As I looked intently into it, I was considering it, and I saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild animals and the reptiles and the birds of the sky.
我定睛观察, 看见里面有地上的四足牲畜,走兽, 还有昆虫和天空的飞鸟.

11:7 And I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!’
我也听见有声音对我说: ‘彼得, 起来, 宰了吃! ’

11:8 But I said, ‘Certainly not, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth!’
我说: ‘主啊, 千万不可, 因为俗物或不洁的东西, 从来没有进过我的口. ’

11:9 But the voice replied from heaven for the second time, ‘The things which God has made clean, you must not consider unclean!’
第二次又有声音从天上回答: ‘神所洁净的, 你不可当作俗物. ’

11:10 And this happened three times, and everything was pulled up into heaven again.
这样一连三次之后, 所有的东西都拉回天上去了.

11:11 And behold, at once three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea approached the house in which we were staying.
就在那个时候, 有三个从该撒利亚派到我这里来的人, 站在我住的房子门前.

11:12 And the Spirit told me to accompany them, not hesitating at all. So these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the man’s house.
圣灵吩咐我跟他们一起去, 一点也不要疑惑. 这六位弟兄也跟我一起去, 我们就进了那人的家.

11:13 And he reported to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter,
他告诉我们, 他怎样看见天使站在他家里说: ‘派人到约帕去, 请那个名叫彼得的西门来,

11:14 who will speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’
他有话要告诉你, 使你和你全家都可以得救. ’

11:15 And as I was beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as also on us at the beginning.
我一开始讲话, 圣灵就降在他们身上, 正像当初降在我们身上一样.

11:16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
我就想起主所说的话: ‘约翰用水施洗, 但你们要受圣灵的洗. ’

11:17 Therefore if God gave them the same gift as also to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?”
神既然把同样的恩赐给他们, 像给我们这些信了主耶稣基督的人一样, 我是谁, 我能够阻止神吗? ”

11:18 And when they heard these things, they became silent and praised God, saying, “Then God has granted the repentance leading to life to the Gentiles also!”
众人听见这些话, 就默然无声, 把荣耀归给神, 说: “这样看来, 神也把悔改的心赐给外族人, 使他们得生命. ”

11:19 Now those who had been scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, proclaiming the message to no one except Jews alone.
那些因司提反事件遭受苦难而四散的门徒, 一直走到腓尼基,塞浦路斯,安提阿; 他们不对别人传讲, 只对犹太人传讲.

11:20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they came to Antioch, began to speak to the Hellenists also, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
但其中有些塞浦路斯人和古利奈人, 来到安提阿, 也对希腊人传讲主耶稣.

11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.
主的手与他们同在, 信而归主的人就多起来.

11:22 And the report came to the attention of the church that was in Jerusalem about them, and they sent out Barnabas as far as Antioch,
这事传到耶路撒冷教会的耳中, 他们就派巴拿巴到安提阿去.

11:23 who, when he arrived and saw the grace of God, rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,

11:24 because he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large number were added to the Lord.
巴拿巴是个好人, 满有圣灵和信心, 于是许多人归了主.

11:25 So he departed for Tarsus to look for Saul.
后来他到大数去找扫罗,

11:26 And when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened to them also that they met together for a whole year with the church and taught a large number of people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
找到了, 就带他来安提阿. 足足有一年, 他们一同在教会聚集, 教导了许多人. 门徒称为基督徒, 是从安提阿开始的.

那时, 有几位先知从耶路撒冷下到安提阿.

11:28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that a great famine was about to come over the whole inhabited earth (which took place in the time of Claudius).
其中有一个名叫亚迦布的站起来, 借着圣灵指出天下将要有大饥荒; 这事在革老丢时期果然发生了.

于是门徒决定按着各人的力量捐款, 好送给住在犹太的弟兄.

11:30 which they also did, sending the aid to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
他们就这样行了, 由巴拿巴和扫罗经手送到长老们那里.

Acts - Chapter 12

捉到了, 就把他关在监里, 交给四班士兵看守, 每班四个人, 打算过了逾越节, 把他提出来交给民众.

彼得就这样被拘留在监里; 但教会却为他迫切地祈求神.

12:6 Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards before the door were watching the prison.
希律要提他出来的前一夜, 彼得被两条锁链锁住, 睡在两个士兵中间, 还有卫兵守在门前.

12:7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood near him, and a light shone in the prison cell. And striking Peter’s side, he woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And his chains fell off of his hands.
忽然, 有主的一位使者出现, 屋就光芒四射. 天使拍拍彼得的肋旁, 唤醒他, 说: “快起来! ”他手上的锁链就脱落了.

天使对他说: “束上带子, 穿上鞋! ”他就这样作了. 天使又说: “披上外衣, 跟我走! ”

他就出来跟着天使走, 但他不知道天使所作的事是真的, 还以为是见了异象.

12:10 And after they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened for them by itself, and they went out and went forward along one narrow street, and at once the angel departed from him.
他们经过第一,第二两个岗位, 来到通往城内的铁门, 那门自动给他们开了. 他们出来, 往前走了一条街, 天使立刻离开了他.

彼得清醒过来, 说: “现在我确实知道, 主差他的天使来, 救我脱离希律的手和犹太人所期望的一切. ”

大家说: “你疯了! ”她却坚持地说这是真的. 他们说: “一定是他的天使. ”

12:16 But Peter was continuing to knock, and when they opened the door they saw him and were astonished.
彼得继续敲门; 他们打开了, 一见是他, 就非常惊讶.

12:17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and to the brothers,” and he departed and went to another place.
彼得作了一个手势, 要他们安静, 然后对他们述说主怎样领他出监, 又说: “你们把这些事告诉雅各和众弟兄. ”就离开那里, 到别的地方去了.

12:18 Now when day came, there was not a little commotion among the soldiers as to what then had become of Peter.
天亮的时候, 士兵们非常慌乱, 不知彼得出了什么事.

12:19 And when Herod had searched for him and did not find him, he questioned the guards and ordered that they be led away to execution. And he came down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.
希律搜索他, 却找不到, 就审问卫兵, 下令把他们带出去处死. 后来希律离开犹太, 到该撒利亚去, 住在那里.

12:20 Now he was very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians. So they came to him with one purpose, and after persuading Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country was supported with food from the king’s country.
当时希律对推罗和西顿人怀怒在心. 这两地的人因为他们的地区都需要从王的领土得到粮食, 就先拉拢了王的内侍臣伯拉斯都, 然后同心地去见希律, 要向他求和.

12:21 So on an appointed day Herod, after putting on royal clothing and sitting down on the judgment seat, began to deliver a public address to them.
到了定好的日期, 希律穿上王服, 坐在高台上, 向他们演讲.

12:22 But the people began to call out loudly, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”

他们事奉主, 并且禁食的时候, 圣灵说: “要为我把巴拿巴和扫罗分别出来, 去作我呼召他们作的工. ”

他常常和省长士求．保罗在一起; 省长是个聪明人, 他请了巴拿巴和扫罗来, 要听听神的道.

说: “你这充满各样诡诈和各样奸恶的人, 魔鬼的儿子, 公义的仇敌! 你歪曲了主的正路, 还不停止吗?

你看, 现在主的手临到你, 你要瞎了眼睛, 暂时看不见阳光. ”他就立刻被雾和黑暗笼罩着, 周围找人牵他的手, 给他领路.

13:12 Then when the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he was astounded at the teaching about the Lord.

保罗和巴拿巴却放胆说: “神的道, 先讲给你们听, 是应该的. 但因为你们弃绝这道, 断定自己不配得永生, 所以我们现在就转向外族人去了.

13:47 For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you would bring salvation to the end of the earth.’
因为主曾这样吩咐我们说: ‘我已立你作外族人的光, 使你把救恩带到地极去. ’”

两人却仍住了很久, 靠着主放胆讲论, 主也借着他们的手行神迹奇事, 证实他恩惠的道.

14:13 And the priest of the temple of Zeus that was just outside the city brought bulls and garlands to the gates and was wanting to offer sacrifice, along with the crowds.
城门前宙斯庙的祭司, 牵着几头公牛, 拿着一些花圈来到门口, 要同群众一起献祭.

巴拿巴和保罗两个使徒听见了, 就撕裂衣服, 跳进群众中间, 喊着说:

14:15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, proclaiming the good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things that are in them—
“各位, 为什么这样作呢? 我们也是人, 性情和你们一样, 我们传福音给你们, 正是要你们远离这些虚妄的事, 归向永活的神, 就是那创造天,地,海和其中万物的神.

14:16 who in generations that are past permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
在从前的世代里, 他容忍万国各行其道,

14:17 And yet he did not leave himself without witness by doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying you with food and your hearts with gladness.”
然而却未尝不为自己留下明证, 就如常常行善事, 从天上降下雨来, 常常赏赐丰年, 使你们吃喝充足, 满心欢乐. ”

14:18 And although they said these things, only with difficulty did they dissuade the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
两人说完了这些话, 这才阻止群众, 不向他们献祭.

但有些犹太人, 从安提阿,以哥念来, 挑唆群众, 用石头打保罗, 以为他死了, 就拖到城外去.

门徒正围着他的时候, 他竟然站起来, 走进城里去了. 第二天, 他跟巴拿巴一同到特庇去.

保罗和巴拿巴, 与他们大大地争执辩论起来. 大家就派保罗,巴拿巴和他们中间的几个人, 为这个问题上耶路撒冷去见使徒和长老.

15:3 So they were sent on their way by the church, and passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, telling in detail the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
于是教会给他们送行, 他们就经过腓尼基,撒玛利亚, 述说外族人怎样归主的事, 使弟兄们大大喜乐.

15:4 And when they arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and reported all that God had done with them.
到了耶路撒冷, 他们受到教会,使徒和长老的接待, 就报告神同他们一起所行的一切.

15:5 But some of those who had believed from the party of the Pharisees stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to observe the law of Moses!”
然而有几个法利赛派的信徒站起来, 说: “我们必须给外族人行割礼, 吩咐他们遵守摩西的律法. ”

15:6 Both the apostles and the elders assembled to deliberate concerning this matter.
使徒和长老聚集在一起, 商议这件事.

15:7 And after there was much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Men and brothers, you know that in the early days God chose among you through my mouth that the Gentiles should hear the message of the gospel and believe.
经过了很多的辩论, 彼得站起来对他们说: “弟兄们, 你们知道, 前些时候神在你们中间拣选了我, 使外族人从我的口中听见福音的道, 而且信了.

15:8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he also did to us.
知道人心的神也为他们作证──赐圣灵给他们, 像给我们一样;

15:9 And he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
而且他待他们和我们没有分别, 因为借着信, 他洁净了他们的心.

15:10 So now why are you putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
现在你们为什么试探神, 把我们祖先和我们所不能负的轭, 放在门徒的颈上呢?

15:11 But we believe we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way those also are.”
我们相信, 我们得救是借着主耶稣的恩, 和他们也是一样. ”

15:12 And the whole group became silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul describing all the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
大家都静默无声, 听巴拿巴和保罗述说神借着他们在外族人中所行的神迹奇事.

15:13 And after they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, “Men and brothers, listen to me!
他们讲完了, 雅各说: “弟兄们, 请听我说!

15:14 Simeon has described how God first concerned himself to take from among the Gentiles a people for his name.
刚才西门述说神当初怎样关怀外族人, 从他们中间拣选了众人, 归在自己的名下.

15:15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
众先知的话, 也符合这个意思, 正如经上所记:

15:16 ‘After these things I will return and build up again the tent of David that has fallen, and the parts of it that had been torn down I will build up again and will restore it,
‘此后我要回来, 重建大卫倒塌了的帐幕, 重建它损坏之处, 把它重新竖立起来,

15:17 so that the rest of humanity may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
使余下的人, 就是所有称为我名下的外族人, 都寻求主,

15:18 known from of old.’
这是自古以来就显明了这些事的主所说的. ’

15:19 Therefore I conclude we should not cause difficulty for those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
“所以我认为不可难为这些归服神的外族人,

15:20 but we should write a letter to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from sexual immorality and from what has been strangled and from blood.
只要写信叫他们禁戒偶像的污秽,淫乱, 勒死的牲畜和血.

15:21 For Moses has those who proclaim him in every city from ancient generations, because he is read aloud in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
因为自古以来, 在各城里都有人宣讲摩西的书, 每逢安息日, 在各会堂里都有人诵读. ”

15:22 Then it seemed best to the apostles and the elders, together with the whole church, to send men chosen from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas—Judas who was called Barsabbas and Silas, men who were leaders among the brothers—
当时, 使徒,长老和全教会都认为好, 就从他们中间选出人来, 差他们和保罗,巴拿巴一同到安提阿去, 所选的就是别号巴撒巴的犹大和西拉, 他们是弟兄中的领袖.

15:23 writing this letter to be delivered by them: The apostles and the elders, brothers. To the brothers who are from among the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia. Greetings!
于是写信给他们带去, 信上说: “使徒和作长老的弟兄们, 向安提阿,叙利亚,基利家的外族众弟兄问安.

15:24 Because we have heard that some have gone out from among us—to whom we gave no orders—and have thrown you into confusion by words upsetting your minds,
我们听说有人从我们这里出去, 说了一些话搅扰你们, 使你们心里不安, 其实我们并没有吩咐他们.

15:25 it seemed best to us, having reached a unanimous decision, and having chosen men, to send them to you together with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,
因此, 我们一致同意, 选派一些人跟我们亲爱的巴拿巴和保罗去见你们,

15:26 men who have risked their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
这两个人为了我们主耶稣基督的名, 曾经把性命置之度外.

15:27 Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, and they will report the same things by word of mouth.
我们派了犹大和西拉一同去, 他们也会亲口述说这些事.

15:28 For it seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us to place on you no greater burden except these necessary things:
圣灵和我们都同意, 不把别的重担加在你们身上, 然而有几件事是重要的,

15:29 that you abstain from food sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these things you will do well. Farewell.
就是禁戒祭过偶像的食物,血,勒死的牲畜和淫乱. 这些事你们若能保守自己不作, 那就好了. 祝你们平安! ”

15:30 So when they were sent off, they came down to Antioch, and after calling together the community, they delivered the letter.
他们受了差派, 下安提阿去, 集合了众人, 就把书信交上.

15:31 And when they read it aloud, they rejoiced at the encouragement.
众人读了, 因信上的劝勉, 就感到欣慰.

15:32 Both Judas and Silas, who were also prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers by a long message.
犹大和西拉也是先知, 说了许多话劝勉弟兄, 坚固他们.

15:33 And after spending some time, they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those who had sent them.
住了一段时间, 弟兄们就给他们送行, 祝一路平安; 他们就回到差派他们的人那里去.

15:34
(有些抄本在此有第34节: “但西拉认为自己应当在那里住下来, 只有犹大回到耶路撒冷. ”)

15:35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord with many others also.
保罗和巴拿巴却住在安提阿, 跟许多别的人一同教导, 传讲主的道.

15:36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Come then,let us return and visit the brothers in every town in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
过了一些时候, 保罗对巴拿巴说: “我们要回到我们传过主道的各城, 探望弟兄们, 好知道他们的情形怎么样. ”

15:37 Now Barnabas wanted to take John who was called Mark along also,
巴拿巴有意要带别号马可的约翰一同去,

15:38 but Paul held the opinion they should not take this one along, who departed from them in Pamphylia and did not accompany them in the work.
但保罗认为不应带他去, 因为他从前在旁非利亚离开过他们, 不跟他们一起去作工.

15:39 And a sharp disagreement took place, so that they separated from one another. And Barnabas took along Mark and sailed away to Cyprus,
他们各持己见, 以致彼此分手. 巴拿巴带着马可, 坐船到塞浦路斯去;

15:40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, after being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.
保罗却选了西拉, 众弟兄把他交托在主的恩典中之后, 他就出发了.

15:41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
他走遍了叙利亚,基利家, 坚固众教会.

Acts - Chapter 16

16:1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman but of a Greek father,
保罗来到了特庇, 又到了路司得. 在那里有一个门徒, 名叫提摩太, 是一个信主的犹太妇人的儿子, 父亲却是希腊人.

16:2 who was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
路司得和以哥念的弟兄们都称赞他.

16:3 Paul wanted this one to go with him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
保罗有意要他一同出去, 但为了那些地方的犹太人, 就给他行了割礼, 因为他们都知道他父亲是希腊人.

16:4 And as they went through the towns, they passed on to them to observe the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
他们经过各城, 把耶路撒冷的使徒和长老所定的规条, 交给门徒遵守.

16:5 So the churches were being strengthened in the faith and were growing in number every day.
于是众教会信心越发坚固, 人数天天增加.

16:6 And they traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message in Asia.
圣灵既然禁止他们在亚西亚传道, 他们就走遍弗吕家,加拉太地区.

16:7 And when they came to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
他们来到每西亚边境, 想要去庇推尼, 耶稣的灵也不许.

16:8 So going through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
他们经过每西亚, 下到特罗亚.

16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: a certain Macedonian man was standing there and imploring him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!”
夜间有一个异象向保罗显现: 有一个马其顿人站着求他说: “请你到马其顿来, 帮助我们! ”

16:10 And when he had seen the vision, we wanted at once to go away to Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
保罗见了这异象, 我们就认定是神呼召我们去传福音给他们, 于是立刻设法前往马其顿.

16:11 So putting out to sea from Troas, we sailed a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis,
我们从特罗亚开船, 直航撒摩特拉, 第二天到达尼亚波利,

16:12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of that district of Macedonia, a Roman colony. And we were staying in this city for some days.
从那里来到腓立比, 就是马其顿地区的首要城市, 是罗马的殖民地. 我们在这城里住了几天.

16:13 And on the day of the Sabbath, we went outside the city gate beside the river, where we thought there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women assembled there.
安息日我们出了城门, 来到河边, 以为那里是个祈祷的地方. 我们坐下, 对聚集的妇女讲论.

16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia from the city of Thyatira, a merchant dealing in purple cloth who showed reverence for God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was being said by Paul.
有一位敬畏神的妇女, 名叫吕底亚, 是推雅推拉城卖紫色布的商人, 她一直在听, 主开启她的心, 使她留心听保罗所讲的.

16:15 And after she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, “If you consider me to be a believer in the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
她和她一家受了洗以后, 就请求说: “你们若认为我是对主忠实的, 就请到我家来住. ”于是她强留我们.

16:16 And it happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain female slave who had a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing a large profit to her owners by fortune-telling.
有一次, 我们到祈祷的地方去的时候, 一个被巫鬼附着的婢女迎面而来; 她行占卜使主人们发了大财.

16:17 She followed Paul and us and was crying out, saying, “These men are slaves of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
她跟着保罗和我们, 喊叫说: “这些人是至高神的仆人, 向你们传讲得救的道路. ”

16:18 And she was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed and turning around, said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out immediately.
她一连多日这样喊叫, 保罗觉得厌烦, 就转身对那鬼说: “我奉耶稣基督的名, 命令你从她身上出来! ”那鬼就立刻出来了.

16:19 But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
她的主人们看见发财的希望完了, 就揪住保罗和西拉, 拉到市中心去见官长,

16:20 And when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,
又带到裁判官面前, 说: “这些人是犹太人, 扰乱我们的城市,

16:21 and are proclaiming customs that are not permitted for us to accept or to practice, because we are Romans!”
传我们罗马人不准接受,不准实行的规例. ”

16:22 And the crowd joined in attacking them, and the chief magistrates tore off their clothing and gave orders to beat them with rods.
群众一齐起来攻击他们, 裁判官就剥去他们的衣服, 下令用棍子打他们.

16:23 And after they had inflicted many blows on them, they threw them into prison, giving orders to the jailer to guard them securely.
打了很多棍, 就把他们放在监牢里, 吩咐狱吏严密看守.

16:24 Having received such an order, he put them in the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
狱吏领了命令, 就把他们押入内监, 两脚拴了木狗.

16:25 Now about midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
约在半夜, 保罗和西拉祈祷歌颂神, 囚犯们都侧耳听着.

16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and all the bonds were unfastened.
忽然发生了大地震, 以致监牢的地基都摇动起来, 所有的监门立刻开了, 囚犯的锁链都松了.

16:27 And after the jailer was awake and saw the doors of the prison open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he thought the prisoners had escaped.
狱吏醒过来, 看见监门全开, 以为囚犯都已经逃脱了, 就拔出刀来想要自刎.

16:28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, “Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here!”
保罗大声呼叫说: “不要伤害自己, 我们都在这里! ”

16:29 And demanding lights, he rushed in and, beginning to tremble, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
狱吏叫人拿了灯来, 就冲进去, 战战兢兢地俯伏在保罗和西拉面前,

16:30 And he brought them outside and said, “Sirs, what must I do so that I can be saved?”
随后领他们出来, 说: “先生, 我应该作什么才可以得救? ”

16:31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household!”
他们说: “当信主耶稣, 你和你一家人都必定得救. ”

16:32 And they spoke the message of the Lord to him, together with all those in his house.
他们就把主的道, 讲给他和他全家的人听.

16:33 And he took them at that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and he himself was baptized at once, and all those of his household.
就在当夜的那个时候, 狱吏领他们去洗伤, 狱吏和他家人都受了洗,

16:34 And he brought them up into his house and set a meal before them, and rejoiced greatly that he had believed in God with his whole household.
就带他们到家里, 摆上饭食, 他和全家因信了神就大大喜乐.

16:35 And when it was day, the chief magistrates sent the police officers, saying, “Release those men.”
到了天亮, 裁判官派法警来, 说: “放了这些人! ”

16:36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: “The chief magistrates have sent an order that you should be released. So come out now and go in peace!”
狱吏就把这话告诉保罗, 说: “裁判官派人来释放你们, 现在可以出来, 平平安安地去吧! ”

16:37 But Paul said to them, “They beat us in public without due process—men who are Roman citizens—and threw us into prison, and now they are wanting to release us secretly? Certainly not! Rather let them come themselves and bring us out!”
保罗对他们说: “我们是罗马人, 还没有定罪, 他们就公开打我们, 又放在监里; 现在要私下赶我们出去吗? 不行! 他们应当亲自来, 领我们出去! ”

16:38 So the police officers reported these words to the chief magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.
法警把这番话回报裁判官, 裁判官听说他们是罗马人, 就害怕起来,

16:39 And they came and apologized to them, and after they brought them out they asked them to depart from the city.
于是来请求他们, 领他们出监之后, 就请他们离开那城.

16:40 And when they came out of the prison, they went to Lydia and when they saw them, they encouraged the brothers and departed.
两人出了监, 就到吕底亚的家里去, 见了弟兄们, 劝勉他们一番, 就离开了.

Acts - Chapter 17

17:1 Now after they traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
保罗和西拉经过暗非波里,亚波罗尼亚, 来到帖撒罗尼迦, 在那里有犹太人的会堂.

17:2 And as was his custom, Paul went in to them and on three Sabbath days he discussed with them from the scriptures,
保罗照他的习惯进去, 一连三个安息日, 根据圣经与他们辩论,

17:3 explaining and demonstrating that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ.”
讲解证明基督必须受害, 从死人中复活, 说: “我所传给你们的这位耶稣, 就是基督. ”

17:4 And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, and also a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the prominent women.
他们中间有人给说服了, 就附从了保罗和西拉; 还有一大群虔诚的希腊人, 和不少显要的妇女.

17:5 But the Jews were filled with jealousy and, taking along some worthless men from the rabble in the marketplace and forming a mob, threw the city into an uproar. And attacking Jason’s house, they were looking for them to bring them out to the popular assembly.
但犹太人嫉妒起来, 招聚了一些市井流氓, 纠合成群, 骚动全城, 冲进了耶孙的家, 搜索保罗和西拉, 要把他们交给民众.

17:6 And when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These people who have stirred up trouble throughout the world have come here also,
搜索不到他们, 就把耶孙和几个弟兄, 拉到地方长官那里, 喊叫着说: “这些扰乱天下的人, 也到这里来了,

17:7 whom Jason has entertained as guests! And these people are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king, Jesus!”
耶孙却收留他们. 这些人都违背凯撒的法令, 说另外还有一个王耶稣. ”

17:8 And they threw the crowd into confusion, and the city officials who heard these things.
群众和地方长官听见这话, 就惊慌起来,

17:9 And after taking money as security from Jason and the rest, they released them.
取得耶孙和其余的人签保后, 才放了他们.

17:10 Now the brothers sent away both Paul and Silas at once, during the night, to Berea. They went into the synagogue of the Jews when they arrived.
弟兄们当夜立刻送保罗和西拉往比里亚去. 二人到了, 就进入犹太人的会堂.

17:11 Now these were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They accepted the message with all eagerness, examining the scriptures every day to see if these things were so.
这里的人, 比帖撒罗尼迦人开明, 热切接受主的道, 天天考查圣经, 要知道所听的是否与圣经相符.

17:12 Therefore many of them believed, and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men.
结果他们中间有很多人信了, 也有高贵的希腊妇女, 男的也不少.

17:13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that the message of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there too, inciting and stirring up the crowds.
但帖撒罗尼迦的犹太人, 知道保罗又在比里亚宣讲神的道, 就到那里去, 煽动挑拨群众.

17:14 So then the brothers sent Paul away at once to go to the sea, and both Silas and Timothy remained there.
弟兄们立刻把保罗送到海边去; 西拉和提摩太仍然留在比里亚.

17:15 And those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens, and after receiving an order for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as soon as possible, they went away.
护送保罗的人带他到了雅典; 保罗吩咐他们叫西拉和提摩太赶快去见他, 于是他们就回去了.

17:16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he observed the city was full of idols.
保罗在雅典等候他们的时候, 看见满城都是偶像, 心灵十分忿激.

17:17 So he was discussing in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.
于是在会堂里, 同犹太人和虔诚的人辩论; 并且天天在市中心和所遇见的人辩论.

17:18 And even some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him, and some were saying, “What does this babbler want to say?” But others said, “He appears to be a proclaimer of foreign deities,” because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.
还有伊壁鸠鲁派和斯多亚派的哲学家也同他争论, 有的说: “这个拾人牙慧的人要说什么呢? ”有的说: “他似乎是一个宣传外地鬼神的人. ”这是因为保罗传扬耶稣和复活的道理.

17:19 And they took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we learn what is this new teaching being proclaimed by you?
他们拉着保罗, 把他带到亚略．巴古那里, 说: “你所讲的这个新道理, 我们可以知道吗?

17:20 For you are bringing some astonishing things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean.”
因为你把一切新奇的事, 传到我们耳中, 我们愿意知道这些事是什么意思. ”

17:21 (Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who stayed there used to spend their time in nothing else than telling something or listening to something new.)
原来所有雅典人和外侨, 专好谈论和打听新奇的事, 来打发时间.

17:22 So Paul stood there in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see you are very religious in every respect.
保罗站在亚略．巴古当中, 说: “各位雅典人, 我看你们在各方面都非常敬畏鬼神.

17:23 For as I was passing through and observing carefully your objects of worship, I even found an altar on which was inscribed, ‘To an unknown God.’ Therefore what you worship without knowing it, this I proclaim to you—
我走路的时候, 仔细看你们所敬拜的, 发现有一座坛, 上面写着‘献给不认识的神’. 我现在把你们不认识而敬拜的这位神, 传给你们.

17:24 the God who made the world and all the things in it. This one, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands,
创造宇宙和其中万有的神, 既然是天地的主, 就不住在人手所造的殿宇,

17:25 nor is he served by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives to everyone life and breath and everything.
也不受人手的服事, 好像他缺少什么; 他自己反而把生命,气息和一切, 赐给万人.

17:26 And he made from one man every nation of humanity to live on all the face of the earth, determining their fixed times and the fixed boundaries of their habitation,
他从一个本源造出了万族来, 使他们住在整个大地上, 并且定了他们的期限和居住的疆界,

17:27 to search for God, if perhaps indeed they might feel around for him and find him. And indeed he is not far away from each one of us,
要他们寻求神, 或者可以摸索而找到他. 其实他离我们各人不远,

17:28 for in him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said: ‘For we also are his offspring.’
因着他我们可以生存,活动,存在, 就如你们有些诗人说: ‘原来我们也是他的子孙. ’

17:29 Therefore, because we are offspring of God, we ought not to think the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought.
我们既然是神的子孙, 就不应该以为他的神性是好像人用手艺,心思所雕刻的金银石头一样.

17:30 Therefore although God has overlooked the times of ignorance, he now commands all people everywhere to repent,
过去那无知的时代, 神不加以追究; 现在, 他却吩咐各处的人都要悔改,

17:31 because he has set a day on which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by the man who he has appointed, having provided proof to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
因为他已经定好了日子, 要借着他所立的人, 按公义审判天下, 并且使他从死人中复活, 给万人作一个可信的凭据. ”

17:32 Now when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some scoffed, but others said, “We will hear you about this again also.”
众人一听到死人复活的事, 就讥笑他, 但有的说: “我们要再听听你讲这件事! ”

17:33 So Paul went out from the midst of them.
这样, 保罗就离开他们.

17:34 But some people joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
但有几个人接近他, 并且信了主, 其中有亚略．巴古的议员丢尼修, 一个名叫戴马里的女子, 还有其他的人.

Acts - Chapter 18

18:1 After these things he departed from Athens and went to Corinth.
此后, 保罗离开雅典, 来到哥林多,

18:2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus who had arrived recently from Italy along with Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, and he went to them.
遇见一个生在本都的犹太人, 名叫亚居拉. 因为革老丢下令所有的犹太人都要离开罗马, 所以亚居拉最近同他的妻子百基拉从意大利来了, 保罗就去找他们.

18:3 And because he was practicing the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
他们是以做帐棚为业的, 因为是同业, 保罗就与他们同住, 一同工作.

18:4 And he argued in the synagogue every Sabbath, attempting to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
每逢安息日, 保罗在会堂辩论, 劝导犹太人和希腊人归主.

18:5 Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to be occupied with the message, solemnly testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
西拉和提摩太从马其顿下来的时候, 保罗就专心传扬主的道, 向犹太人极力证明耶稣是基督.

18:6 And when they resisted and reviled him, he shook out his clothes and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!”
但是他们抗拒,亵渎, 保罗就抖着衣服, 对他们说: “你们的罪你们自己承担, 这与我无关. 从今以后, 我要到外族人那里去了. ”

18:7 And leaving there, he entered into the house of someone named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God whose house was next door to the synagogue.
他离开那里, 到了提多．犹士都的家去. 这人是敬拜神的, 他的家靠近会堂.

会堂主管基利司布和他全家都信了主, 许多哥林多人也听了道, 信了主, 而且受了洗.

18:9 And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent,
夜里, 主借着异象对保罗说: “不要怕, 只管讲, 不要闭口!

18:10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city.”
有我与你同在, 必定没有人能害你, 因为在这城里有许多属我的人. ”

18:11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
保罗在那里住了一年零六个月, 把神的道教导他们.

18:12 Now when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one purpose against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
当迦流作亚该亚省长的时候, 犹太人一致起来攻击保罗, 拉他到审判台前,

18:13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law!”
说: “这个人劝人不照着律法去敬拜神. ”

18:14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it was some crime or wicked villainy, O Jews, I would have been justified in accepting your complaint.
保罗刚要开口, 迦流就对犹太人说: “犹太人啊, 如果有犯法或邪恶的罪行, 我当然要耐心听你们;

18:15 But if it is questions concerning a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves! I do not wish to be a judge of these things.”
但所争论的若是关于字句,名称和你们的律法, 你们就应当自己处理. 我不愿意审判这件事! ”

18:16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
于是就把他们从审判台前赶出去.

18:17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. And none of these things was a concern to Gallio.
众人揪住会堂主管苏提尼, 在审判台前打他. 这些事迦流一概不理.

18:18 So Paul, after remaining many days longer, said farewell to the brothers and sailed away to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head at Cenchrea, because he had taken a vow.
保罗住了许多日子, 然后辞别弟兄们, 坐船去叙利亚, 同行的有百基拉和亚居拉. 他因为许过愿, 现在期满了, 就在坚革里剃了头发.

18:19 So they arrived at Ephesus, and those he left behind there, but he himself entered into the synagogue and discussed with the Jews.
到了以弗所, 保罗留他们在那里, 自己却到会堂去, 跟犹太人辩论.

18:20 And when they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not give his consent,
众人请他多住些时候, 他没有答应,

18:21 but saying farewell and telling them, “I will return to you again if God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.
却辞别他们说: “神若许可, 我还要回到你们这里来. ”于是从以弗所开船去了.

18:22 And when he arrived at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
保罗在该撒利亚登岸, 上耶路撒冷问候教会, 然后下安提阿去.

18:23 And after spending some time there, he departed, traveling through one place after another in the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
住了一些时候, 他又动身, 先后经过加拉太地区和弗吕家, 坚固众门徒.

18:24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native Alexandrian, arrived in Ephesus—an eloquent man who was well-versed in the scriptures.
有一个生在亚历山太的犹太人, 名叫亚波罗, 来到了以弗所. 他很有口才, 擅长讲解圣经.

18:25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being enthusiastic in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
这人在主的道上受过训练, 心灵火热, 很准确地讲论, 并且教导人关于耶稣的事, 但他只晓得约翰的洗礼.

18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.
这人在会堂里放胆讲论起来; 百基拉和亚居拉听了, 就把他接来, 把神的道更准确地向他讲解.

18:27 And when he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he assisted greatly those who had believed through grace.
亚波罗有意要到亚该亚去, 弟兄们就鼓励他, 又写信请门徒接待他. 他到了那里, 对那些蒙恩信主的人帮助很多,

18:28 For he was vigorously refuting the Jews in public, demonstrating through the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
因为他当众有力地驳倒犹太人, 引用圣经证明耶稣是基督.

Acts - Chapter 19

19:1 And it happened that while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the inland regions and came to Ephesus and found some disciples.
亚波罗在哥林多的时候, 保罗经过内地一带, 来到以弗所. 他遇见几个门徒,

19:2 And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “But we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit!”
问他们说: “你们信的时候, 受了圣灵没有? ”他们说: “没有, 连圣灵赐下来这件事, 我们也没有听过. ”

19:3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into the baptism of John.”
保罗问: “那么你们受的是什么洗呢? ”他们说: “是约翰的洗礼. ”

19:4 And Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people that they should believe in the one who was to come after him—that is, in Jesus.”
保罗说: “约翰施的是悔改的洗礼, 他告诉人民当信在他以后要来的那一位, 就是耶稣. ”

19:5 And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
他们听见了, 就受洗归入主耶稣的名下.

19:6 And when Paul laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.
保罗为他们按手, 圣灵就降在他们身上, 他们就用各种的语言讲话, 并且说预言.

19:7 (Now the total number of men was about twelve.)
他们一共约有十二人.

19:8 So he entered into the synagogue and was speaking boldly for three months, discussing and attempting to convince them concerning the kingdom of God.
一连三个月, 保罗都到会堂里去, 放胆宣讲, 辩论神的国的事, 劝导人.

19:9 But when some became hardened and were disobedient, reviling the Way before the congregation, he departed from them and took away the disciples, leading discussions every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
可是有些人心里刚硬, 不受劝化, 在群众面前毁谤这道, 保罗就离开他们, 也叫门徒与他们分开. 他每天在推喇奴学院跟人辩论.

19:10 And this took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
这样过了两年, 全亚西亚的居民, 无论犹太人或希腊人, 都听见了主的道.

19:11 And God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
神借着保罗的手, 行了一些不平凡的神迹.

19:12 so that even handkerchiefs or work aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to those who were sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.
甚至有人把保罗贴身的手巾围巾拿去, 放在病人身上, 病就好了, 邪灵也出来了.

19:13 But some itinerant Jewish exorcists also attempted to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches!”
那时, 有几个赶鬼的犹太人, 周游各处, 擅自用主耶稣的名, 向身上有邪灵的人说: “我奉保罗所传的耶稣的名, 命令你们出来. ”

19:14 (Now seven sons of a certain Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.)
有一个犹太人士基瓦, 是祭司长, 他的七个儿子都作这事.

19:15 But the evil spirit answered and said to them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with, but who are you?”
邪灵回答他们: “耶稣我认识, 保罗我也知道; 你们是谁? ”

19:16 And the man who had the evil spirit leaped on them, subdued all of them, and prevailed against them, so that they ran away from that house naked and wounded.
邪灵所附的那人就扑到他们身上, 制伏了两人, 胜过了他们, 使他们赤着身带着伤, 从那房子逃了出来.

19:17 And this became known to all who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was exalted.
所有住在以弗所的犹太人和希腊人, 都知道这件事; 大家都惧怕, 尊主耶稣的名为大.

19:18 And many of those who had believed came, confessing and disclosing their practices,
也有许多信了的人, 来承认和述说自己行过的事.

19:19 and many of those who practiced magic brought together their books and burned them up in the sight of everyone. And they counted up their value and found it was fifty thousand silver coins.
又有许多行巫术的人, 把他们的书带来, 当众烧掉. 他们估计书价, 才知道共值五万块银子.

19:20 In this way the word of the Lord was growing in power and was prevailing.
这样, 主的道大有能力地兴旺起来, 而且得胜.

19:21 Now when these things were completed, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, it is necessary for me to see Rome also.”
这些事以后, 保罗心里定意要经过马其顿,亚该亚, 往耶路撒冷去. 他说: “我到了那边以后, 也该去罗马看看. ”

19:22 So after sending two of those who were assisting him, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, he himself stayed some time in Asia.
于是从服事他的人中, 派了提摩太和以拉都两人去马其顿, 自己暂时留在亚西亚.

19:23 Now there happened at that time no little disturbance concerning the Way.
那时, 因这道起了大扰乱,

19:24 For someone named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver replicas of the temple of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen.
有一个银匠, 名叫低米丢, 是制造亚底米女神银龛的. 他让技工们作了不少的生意.

19:25 These he gathered together, and the workers occupied with such things, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we get our prosperity,
他把这些人和同业的工人聚集起来, 说: “各位, 你们知道, 我们是靠这生意赚钱的.

19:26 and you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this man Paul has persuaded and turned away a large crowd by saying that the gods made by hands are not gods.
现在你们看见了, 也听见了, 这个保罗不单在以弗所, 而且几乎在整个亚西亚, 说服了, 也带坏了许多人, 说: ‘人手所做的, 都不是神. ’

19:27 So not only is there a danger this line of business of ours will come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be regarded as nothing—and she is about to be brought down even from her grandeur, she whom the whole of Asia and the entire world worship!”
这样, 不只我们这一行要给人鄙视, 就是大女神亚底米的庙也会给人撇弃, 连全亚西亚和普天下所敬拜的女神也要垮台, 威荣尽都失掉了. ”

19:28 And when they heard this and became full of rage, they began to shout, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
他们听了, 怒气冲冲喊着说: “以弗所人的女神, 伟大的亚底米啊! ”

19:29 And the city was filled with the tumult, and with one purpose they rushed into the theater, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were traveling companions of Paul.
全城骚动起来, 他们捉住了保罗的旅伴马其顿人该犹和亚里达古, 齐心冲进了剧场.

19:30 But when Paul wanted to enter into the popular assembly, the disciples would not let him.
保罗想要到人群当中去, 门徒却不许.

19:31 And even some of the Asiarchs who were his friends sent word to him and were urging him not to risk himself by going into the theater.
还有几位亚西亚的首长, 是保罗的朋友, 派人来劝他, 不要冒险到剧场里去.

19:32 So some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the majority did not know why they had assembled.
那时大家叫这个喊那个, 乱成一团, 大多数的人都不知道聚集的原因.

19:33 And some of the crowd advised Alexander, when the Jews put him forward. But Alexander, motioning with his hand, was wanting to defend himself to the popular assembly.
犹太人把亚历山大推到前面, 群众中有人把这事的因由告诉他. 亚历山大作了一个手势, 要向民众申辩.

19:34 But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they were shouting with one voice from all of them for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
大家一认出他是犹太人, 就异口同声高呼: “以弗所人的女神, 伟大的亚底米啊! ”喊了约有两个钟头.

19:35 And when the city secretary had quieted the crowd, he said, “Ephesian men, for who is there among men who does not know the Ephesian city is honorary temple keeper of the great Artemis and of her image fallen from heaven?
后来, 书记官安抚群众说: “以弗所人哪! 谁不知道你们的城, 是看守大亚底米的庙, 又是看守宙斯那里降下的神像的呢?

19:36 Therefore because these things are undeniable, it is necessary that you be quiet and do nothing rash!
这些事既然是驳不倒的, 你们就应当平心静气, 不可轻举妄动.

19:37 For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.
你们带来的这些人, 既没有行劫庙宇, 也没有亵渎我们的女神.

19:38 If then Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against anyone, the court days are observed and there are proconsuls—let them bring charges against one another!
如果低米丢和同他一起的技工要控告谁, 大可以告上法庭, 或呈交总督; 让他们彼此控告好了.

19:39 But if you desire anything further, it will be settled in the lawful assembly.
如果还有其他的事件, 可以在合法的集会里, 谋求解决.

19:40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused of rioting concerning today, since there is no cause in relation to which we will be able to give an account concerning this disorderly gathering!” And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
今天的动乱, 本来是无缘无故的, 我们可能有被控告的危险; 关于这次的骚动, 我们实在无法解释. ”

19:41
说了这些话, 就把群众解散了.

Acts - Chapter 20

20:1 Now after the turmoil had ceased, Paul summoned the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and departed to travel to Macedonia.

与他同行的有比里亚人毕罗斯的儿子所巴特, 帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和西公都, 特庇人该犹和提摩太, 亚西亚人推基古和特罗非摩.

有一个少年人, 名叫犹推古, 坐在窗台上, 因为保罗讲得很长, 他很困倦, 沉沉地睡着了, 就从三楼跌下来; 把他扶起来的时候, 已经死了.

从那里开船, 第二天到了基阿对面, 过了一天就在撒摩靠岸, 再过一天到了米利都.

他来见我们, 把保罗的腰带拿过来, 绑住自己的手脚, 说: “圣灵说, 犹太人在耶路撒冷要这样捆绑这腰带的主人, 把他交在外族人的手里. ”

保罗却回答: “你们为什么哭, 使我心碎呢? 我为主耶稣的名, 不但被捆绑, 就算死在耶路撒冷我也都准备好了. ”

你把他们带去, 和他们一同行洁净礼, 并且替他们付钱, 让他们剃去头发, 这样大家就知道以前所听见关于你的事, 都不是真实的, 也知道你是遵守律法循规蹈矩而行的人.

21:25 But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we have written a letter after deciding they should avoid food sacrificed to idols and blood and what has been strangled and sexual immorality.”
至于信主的外族人, 我们已经写了信, 吩咐他们要禁戒祭偶像的食物,血,勒死的牲畜和淫乱. ”

21:26 Then Paul took along the men on the next day, and after he had purified himself together with them, he entered into the temple courts, announcing the completion of the days of purification until the time the offering would be presented on behalf of each one of them.
保罗就把那几个人带走了, 第二天和他们一同行了洁净礼. 他们进了殿, 报明了他们洁净期满的日子, 以及各人献祭的时间.

21:27 But when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia who had seen him in the temple courts stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,
七日将完的时候, 从亚西亚来的犹太人看见保罗在殿里, 就煽动群众, 并且捉住他,

21:28 shouting, “Israelite men, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place! And furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”
喊叫着说: “以色列人哪, 快来帮忙! 这个人到处教人反对人民, 反对律法和这个地方, 他甚至把希腊人也带进殿里, 污秽了这圣地. ”

21:29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they thought that Paul had brought into the temple.)
原来他们看见过以弗所人特罗非摩同保罗在城里, 就以为保罗带他进了殿.

21:30 And the whole city was stirred up, and the people came running together, and they seized Paul and dragged him outside of the temple courts, and immediately the doors were shut.
于是全城震动, 民众一齐跑来, 捉住保罗, 拉出殿外, 殿门就立刻关起来了.

21:31 And as they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the military tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
他们正想杀他的时候, 有人报告营部的千夫长, 说: “整个耶路撒冷都乱了! ”

21:32 He immediately took along soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the military tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
千夫长立刻带着士兵和百夫长跑到他们那里. 众人一看见千夫长和士兵, 就停止殴打保罗.

21:33 Then the military tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what it was that he had done.
于是千夫长上前捉住保罗, 吩咐人用两条铁链捆住他, 问他是什么人, 作过什么事.

21:34 But some in the crowd were shouting one thing and others another, and because he was not able to find out the truth on account of the commotion, he gave orders to bring him into the barracks.
那时众人叫这个喊那个, 吵吵闹闹, 以致千夫长没有办法知道真相, 只好下令把保罗带到营楼去.

21:35 And when he came to the steps, it happened that he had to be carried by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd,
保罗到了台阶下面的时候, 士兵把他抬起来, 因为群众猛挤,

21:36 for the crowd of people was following them, shouting, “Away with him!”
而且有一群人跟在后面叫喊: “干掉他! ”

21:37 And as he was about to be brought into the barracks, Paul said to the military tribune, “Is it permitted for me to say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
他们带着保罗快到营楼的时候, 保罗对千夫长说: “我可以跟你讲一句话吗? ”千夫长说: “你懂希腊话吗?

21:38 Then you are not the Egyptian who before these days raised a revolt and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
难道你不就是不久以前作乱的,带领四千个杀手到旷野去的那个埃及人吗? ”

21:39 But Paul said, “I am a Jewish man from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no unimportant city. Now I ask you, allow me to speak to the people.”
保罗说: “我是犹太人, 是基利家的大数人, 并不是无名小城的公民, 求你准我向民众讲几句话. ”

21:40 So when he permitted him, Paul, standing there on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Aramaic language, saying,
千夫长准许了他, 保罗就站在台阶上, 向民众作了一个手势. 大家安静下来了, 保罗就用希伯来语讲话, 说:

Acts - Chapter 22

22:1 “Men—brothers and fathers—listen to my defense to you now!”
“各位父老弟兄, 请听听我现在对你们的申辩. ”

22:2 And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Aramaic language, they became even more silent. And he said,
他们听见保罗用希伯来语说话, 就更加安静了. 保罗说:

22:3 “I am a Jewish man born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the exactness of the law received from our fathers, being zealous for God, just as all of you are today.
“我是犹太人, 生在基利家的大数, 在城里长大, 按照我们祖宗律法的严格要求, 在迦玛列门下受教, 我为神热心, 好像你们大家今天一样.

22:4 I persecuted this Way to the death, tying up and delivering to prison both men and women,
我曾经迫害信奉这道的人直至死地, 把男男女女都捆绑起来, 送进监狱,

22:5 as indeed the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify about me, from whom also I received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and was traveling there to lead away those who were there also tied up to Jerusalem so that they could be punished.
这是大祭司和全公议会都可以给我作证的. 我也从他们那里得到了写给众弟兄的信, 就去大马士革, 要把那里的人捆绑起来, 带到耶路撒冷接受惩罚.

22:6 “And it happened that as I was traveling and approaching Damascus around noon, suddenly a very bright light from heaven flashed around me,
“约在正午, 当我走近大马士革的时候, 忽然有大光从天上向我四面照射,

22:7 and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
我仆倒在地上, 听见有声音对我说: ‘扫罗, 扫罗, 你为什么迫害我? ’

22:8 And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene whom you are persecuting.’
我回答: ‘主啊, 你是谁? ’他说: ‘我就是你所迫害的拿撒勒人耶稣. ’

22:9 (Now those who were with me saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.)
跟我在一起的人, 只看见那光, 却听不清楚那位对我说话的声音.

22:10 So I said, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and proceed to Damascus, and there it will be told to you about all the things that have been appointed for you to do.’
我说: ‘主啊, 我应当作什么呢? ’主说: ‘起来, 进大马士革去, 在那里有人会把指定给你作的一切事告诉你. ’

22:11 And as I could not see as a result of the brightness of that light, I arrived in Damascus led by the hand of those who were with me.
因为那光太强烈, 我的眼睛就瞎了, 跟我在一起的人就牵着我的手, 进了大马士革.

22:12 And a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who live there,
“有一个人名叫亚拿尼亚的, 他是一个虔诚而遵守律法的人, 当地所有的犹太人都称赞他.

22:13 came to me and stood by me and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, regain your sight!’ And at that same time I looked up at him and saw him.
他来见我, 站在我旁边, 对我说: ‘扫罗弟兄, 你现在可以看见了. ’我立刻往上一看, 看见了他.

22:14 And he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth,
他又说: ‘我们祖先的神选派了你, 让你明白他的旨意, 看见那义者, 听见他口中的声音.

22:15 because you will be a witness for him to all people of what you have seen and heard.
因为你要把所看见所听见的, 向万人为他作见证.

22:16 And now why are you delaying? Get up, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name!’
现在你为什么还耽搁呢? 起来受洗, 求告他的名, 洗净你的罪吧. ’

22:17 “And it happened that when I returned to Jerusalem and I was praying in the temple courts, I was in a trance,
“后来, 我回到耶路撒冷, 在殿里祷告的时候, 魂游象外,

22:18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and depart quickly from Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’
看见主对我说: ‘你要快快离开耶路撒冷, 因为你为我作的见证, 他们是不会接受的. ’

22:19 And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that from synagogue to synagogue I was imprisoning and beating those who believed in you.
我说: ‘主啊, 他们知道我曾把信你的人监禁起来, 又在各会堂拷打他们,

22:20 And when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I myself also was standing near and was approving, and was guarding the cloaks of those who were killing him.’
并且你的见证人司提反受害流血的时候, 我也亲自在场, 表示同意, 并且为杀他的人看守衣服. ’

22:21 And he said to me, ‘Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles!’ ”
他对我说: ‘你走吧, 我要派你到远方的外族人那里去. ’”

22:22 Now they were listening to him until this word, and they raised their voices, saying, “Away with such a man from the earth! For it is not fitting for him to live!”
众人听见他说到这句话, 就高声说: “这样的人应该从地上除掉, 不应该活着! ”

22:23 And while they were screaming and throwing off their cloaks and throwing dust into the air,
大家正在喊叫着, 拋掷衣服, 向空中扬灰撒土的时候,

22:24 the military tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying he was to be examined with a lash so that he could find out for what reason they were crying out against him in this way.
千夫长下令把保罗带到营楼去, 吩咐人用鞭子拷问他, 要知道群众为什么这样向他喊叫.

22:25 But when they had stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it permitted for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?”
士兵正用皮带绑他的时候, 保罗对站在旁边的百夫长说: “你们鞭打一个还没有定罪的罗马公民, 是合法的吗? ”

22:26 And when the centurion heard this, he went to the military tribune and reported it, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen!”
百夫长听了, 就去报告千夫长, 说: “这个人是罗马公民, 你要怎么办呢? ”

22:27 So the military tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” And he said, “Yes.”
千夫长就来问保罗: “告诉我, 你是罗马公民吗? ”他说: “是的. ”

22:28 And the military tribune replied, “I acquired this citizenship for a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I indeed was born a citizen.
千夫长说: “我花了一大笔钱, 才取得罗马籍. ”保罗说: “我生下来就是罗马公民. ”

22:29 Then immediately those who were about to examine him kept away from him, and the military tribune also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman citizen and that he had tied him up.
于是那些要拷问他的人, 立刻离开他走了. 千夫长既知道他是罗马公民, 又因捆绑过他, 就害怕起来.

22:30 But on the next day, because he wanted to know the true reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble, and he brought down Paul and had him stand before them.
第二天, 千夫长为要知道犹太人控告保罗的真相, 就解开他, 召集了祭司长和公议会全体在一起, 把保罗带下来, 叫他站在他们面前.

Acts - Chapter 23

23:1 And looking intently at the Sanhedrin, Paul said, “Men and brothers, I have lived my life in all good conscience before God to this day.”
保罗定睛看着公议会的各人, 说: “各位弟兄, 我在神面前, 行事为人一向都是凭着良心的. ”

23:2 So the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near him to strike his mouth.
大祭司亚拿尼亚就吩咐站在他旁边的人打保罗的嘴巴.

23:3 Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! And are you sitting there judging me according to the law, and acting contrary to the law do you order me to be struck?”
保罗对他说: “你这粉饰的墙啊, 神要击打你! 你坐堂要按着律法审问我, 现在你竟然违背律法吩咐人打我吗? ”

23:4 And those who stood nearby said, “Are you reviling the high priest of God?”
站在旁边的人民说: “你敢辱骂神的大祭司吗? ”

23:5 And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’ ”
保罗说: “弟兄们, 我不知道他是大祭司. 经上说: ‘不可咒诅你人民的领袖. ’”

23:6 Now when Paul realized that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the Sanhedrin, “Men and brothers! I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead!”
保罗看出其中一部分是撒都该人, 另一部分是法利赛人, 就在公议会中大声说: “我是法利赛人, 也是法利赛人的子孙, 我现在受审, 是为了盼望死人复活! ”

23:7 And when he said this, a dispute developed between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
他说了这话, 法利赛人和撒都该人就起了争论, 会众也分裂了, 成为两派.

23:8 (For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angel or spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)
原来撒都该人说没有复活, 没有天使, 也没有鬼灵, 法利赛人却认定这些都有.

23:9 And there was loud shouting, and some of the scribes from the party of the Pharisees stood up and contended sharply, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man! But what if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
于是众人大嚷大闹, 有几个法利赛派的经学家站起来辩论说: “我们看不出这个人作过什么坏事; 说不定有灵或天使对他说过话. ”

23:10 And when the dispute became severe, the military tribune, fearing lest Paul be torn apart by them, ordered the detachment to go down, take him away from their midst, and bring him into the barracks.
争论越来越大, 千夫长怕保罗被他们撕碎了, 就吩咐士兵下去, 把他从人群中抢救出来, 带到营楼去.

23:11 And the next night the Lord stood by him and said, “Have courage, for as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
当天晚上, 主站在保罗身边, 说: “你要壮起胆来, 你怎样在耶路撒冷作见证, 也必照样在罗马为我作见证. ”

23:12 And when it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves under a curse, saying they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
到了天亮, 犹太人在一起秘密计谋, 并且发誓说, 不杀保罗, 就不吃不喝.

23:13 Now there were more than forty who had made this conspiracy,
一同策划这项阴谋的有四十多人.

23:14 who went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have bound ourselves under a curse to partake of nothing until we have killed Paul.
他们来见众祭司长和长老, 说: “我们已经发了誓, 不杀保罗, 就不吃东西.

23:15 Therefore, now you along with the Sanhedrin explain to the military tribune that he should bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine more accurately the things concerning him. And we are ready to do away with him before he comes near.”
现在你们和公议会要通知千夫长, 带保罗到你们这里来, 装作要详细审查他. 我们已经预备好了, 不等他走近, 就把他杀了. ”

23:16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, he came and entered into the barracks and reported it to Paul.
但保罗的外甥听见这项埋伏的诡计, 就到营楼去, 告诉保罗.

23:17 So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the military tribune, because he has something to report to him.”
保罗请了一个百夫长来, 说: “请你带这个青年人去见千夫长, 他有事要报告. ”

23:18 So he took him and brought him to the military tribune and said, “The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
百夫长就带保罗的外甥去见千夫长, 说: “囚犯保罗请了我去, 求我带这个青年人来见你, 他有事要向你报告. ”

23:19 And the military tribune, taking hold of his hand and withdrawing privately, asked, “What is it that you have to report to me?”
千夫长拉着他的手, 走到一边, 私下问他: “你有什么事要向我报告? ”

23:20 And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you that you bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as if they were going to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
他说: “犹太人已经约好了, 要求你明天把保罗带到公议会里去, 装作要详细审查他.

23:21 You therefore do not be persuaded by them, because more than forty men of their number are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have done away with him. And now they are ready, waiting for you to agree.”
你不要听他们, 因为他们有四十多人正在埋伏起来等着保罗; 他们发了誓, 不杀保罗, 就不吃不喝. 现在他们已经准备好了, 只等你答应. ”

23:22 So the military tribune sent the young man away, directing him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
千夫长嘱咐那青年人: “不要告诉人你把这事告诉了我. ”然后就打发他走了.

23:23 And he summoned two of the centurions and said, “Make ready from the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, in order that they may proceed as far as Caesarea.
千夫长叫了两个百夫长来, 说: “预备两百个步兵, 七十个骑兵,两百个长枪手, 晚上九点钟往该撒利亚去.

23:24 And provide mounts so that they can put Paul on them and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”
也要预备好牲口, 好让保罗骑上, 护送他安全到达腓力斯总督那里. ”

23:25 He wrote a letter that had this form:
千夫长写了一封信, 大意如下:

23:26 Claudius Lysias. To his excellency Governor Felix. Greetings!
“革老丢．吕西亚问候总督腓力斯大人.

23:27 This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the detachment and rescued him, because I learned that he was a Roman citizen.
这个人被犹太人捉住, 快要遭害的时候, 我听说他是罗马公民, 就带兵去把他救出来.

23:28 And because I wanted to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
为要知道犹太人控告他的原因, 我就带他到他们的公议会那里去.

23:29 I found he was accused concerning controversial questions of their law, but having no charge deserving death or imprisonment.
我发现他被控告, 是为了他们律法上的问题, 并没有什么该死该绑的罪名.

23:30 And when it was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, also ordering his accusers to speak against him before you.
后来我接到密报, 得知害他的阴谋, 就立刻把他送到你那里去, 并且吩咐原告到你面前来控告他. ”

23:31 Therefore the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him to Antipatris during the night.
于是士兵照着吩咐, 把保罗提出来, 连夜带到安提帕底.

23:32 And on the next day they let the horsemen go on with him, and they returned to the barracks.
第二天, 他们把保罗交给骑兵队护送, 就回营楼去了.

23:33 The horsemen, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
骑兵到了该撒利亚, 把信呈上总督, 同时把保罗也交给他.

23:34 So after reading the letter and asking what province he was from, and learning that he was from Cilicia,
总督读了信, 就问保罗是哪一省的人; 知道了他是基利家人,

23:35 he said, “I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers arrive also,” giving orders for him to be guarded in the praetorium of Herod.
就说: “等到原告也来了, 我才审问你. ”于是吩咐人把他拘留在希律的王府里.

Acts - Chapter 24

24:1 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney, a certain Tertullus, all of whom brought charges against Paul to the governor.
过了五天, 大祭司亚拿尼亚同几个长老, 和一个律师帖土罗来了, 他们向总督控告保罗.

24:2 And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “We have experienced much peace through you, and reforms are taking place in this nation through your foresight.
保罗传来了之后, 帖土罗就控诉他说: “腓力斯大人, 因着你的缘故, 我们大大地享受着太平; 因着你的远见, 本国大事改革;

24:3 Both in every way and everywhere we acknowledge this, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.
我们随时随地感激不尽.

24:4 But so that I may not impose on you for longer, I implore you to hear us briefly with your customary graciousness.
现在我不想多烦扰你, 只求你宽容一下, 听我们讲几句话.

24:5 For we have found this man to be a public menace and one who causes riots among all the Jews throughout the Roman Empire and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
我们看这个人就像瘟疫一样, 是煽动普天下犹太人生乱的人, 又是拿撒勒派的首领.

24:6 who even attempted to desecrate the temple, and we arrested him.
他还意图污秽圣殿, 我们就把他捉住.

24:7
(有些抄本在此有以下一段: “我们想按照我们的律法审问他. 7可是千夫长吕西亚来了, 用武力把他从我们手中抢走, 8还吩咐原告到你这里来. ”)

24:8 When you yourself examine him you will be able to find out from him about all these things of which we are accusing him.”
你亲自审问之后, 就必清楚知道我们告他的一切事了. ”

24:9 And the Jews also joined in the attack, asserting these things were so.
犹太人也都跟他一同控告保罗, 证实事情确是这样.

24:10 And when the governor gestured for him to speak, Paul replied, “Because I know you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I defend myself cheerfully with respect to the things concerning myself.
总督向保罗示意, 叫他说话, 他就说: “我知道你在本国审案多年, 所以乐意为自己申辩.

24:11 You can ascertain that it has not been more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
你清楚知道, 自从我上耶路撒冷去礼拜, 到现在还没有十二天;

24:12 And neither did they find me arguing with anyone or making a crowd develop in the temple courts nor in the synagogues nor throughout the city.
无论在殿里,会堂中或城里, 他们都没有看见我跟人辩论, 或煽动群众作乱,

24:13 Nor can they prove the things to you concerning which they are now accusing me.
也不能向你证明他们现在控告我的事.

24:14 But I do confess this to you, that according to the Way (which they call a sect), so I worship the God of our fathers, believing all things that are in accordance with the law and that are written in the prophets,
但有一件事我要向你承认, 他们所称为异端的这道, 我正是根据这道来敬拜我祖先的神的. 一切律法和先知所记的, 我都相信.

24:15 having a hope in God which these men also themselves await: that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
我靠着神所存的盼望, 也是他们自己所期待的, 就是义人和不义的人都要复活;

24:16 For this reason also I myself always do my best to have a clear conscience toward God and people.
因此, 我常常勉励自己, 对神对人要常存无亏的良心.

24:17 So after many years, I came to practice charitable giving and offerings to my people,
过了几年我带着捐款回来赒济本国, 同时也带了祭物,

24:18 in which they found me purified in the temple courts, not with a crowd or with a disturbance.
他们看见我在殿里的时候, 我已经行完了洁净礼, 并没有和一大群人在一起, 也没有生乱,

24:19 But there are some Jews from Asia who ought to be present before you and bring charges against me, if they have anything against me,
只有几个从亚西亚来的犹太人而已. 他们若有事要控告我, 就应该到你面前来控告.

24:20 or these men themselves should say what crime they found when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
要不然, 当我站在公议会中受审的时候, 这些人若发现我有什么罪行, 早就亲自说出来了.

24:21 other than concerning this one declaration that I shouted while standing there before them: ‘I am being judged before you today concerning the resurrection of the dead!’ ”
如果有的话, 就是我站在他们中间所喊的: ‘我今天在你们面前受审, 是为了死人复活的事’那一句话. ”

24:22 But Felix, because he understood the facts concerning the Way more accurately, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the military tribune comes down, I will decide your case.”
腓力斯本来就详细晓得这道, 却故意拖延他们, 说: “等千夫长吕西亚来了, 再断定你们的事. ”

24:23 He ordered the centurion for him to be guarded and to have some freedom, and in no way to prevent any of his own people from serving him.
于是吩咐百夫长看守保罗, 但要宽待他, 不可阻止亲友来照料他.

24:24 And after some days, when Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him concerning faith in Christ Jesus.
过了几天, 腓力斯和他的犹太妻子土西拉一同来到, 他又传见保罗, 听听他对基督耶稣的信仰.

24:25 And while he was discussing about righteousness and self control and the judgment that is to come, Felix became afraid and replied, “Go away for the present, and when I have an opportunity, I will summon you.”
保罗讲到公义,自制和将来的审判的时候, 腓力斯就害怕起来, 说: “你先走吧, 等我有空的时候再叫你来. ”

24:26 At the same time he was also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul. For this reason also he sent for him as often as possible and talked with him.
同时他也希望保罗送钱给他, 所以又多次传见他, 和他谈话.

24:27 And when two years had passed, Felix received as successor Porcius Festus. And because he wanted to do a favor for the Jews, Felix left Paul behind as a prisoner.
过了两年, 波求．非斯都接了腓力斯的任; 腓力斯为要讨好犹太人, 就把保罗留在监里.

Acts - Chapter 25

25:1 Now when Festus set foot in the province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
非斯都到任三天之后, 就从该撒利亚去耶路撒冷.

25:2 And the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought charges against Paul to him, and were urging him,
祭司长和犹太人的首领, 到他面前控告保罗. 他们为了对付保罗,

25:3 asking for a favor against him, that he summon him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to do away with him along the way.
就要求非斯都恩准, 把保罗解来耶路撒冷, 他们好埋伏在路上杀死他.

25:4 Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself was about to go there in a short time.
非斯都回答: “保罗现今押在该撒利亚, 我就要回到那里去. ”

25:5 So he said, “Let those among you who are prominent go down with me, and if there is any wrong in the man, let them bring charges against him.”
又说: “你们中间有权势的, 和我一同去吧! 那人若有什么不是, 他们就可以告他. ”

25:6 And after he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. On the next day he sat down on the judgment seat and gave orders for Paul to be brought.
非斯都在他们那里大约逗留了不过十天八天, 就回到该撒利亚去. 第二天就开庭, 吩咐把保罗带来.

25:7 And when he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges that they were not able to prove,
保罗一到, 那些从耶路撒冷来的犹太人, 就站在他周围, 提出许多严重的控告, 可是所控告的他们都不能证实.

25:8 while Paul said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews nor against the temple nor against Caesar have I sinned with reference to anything!”
保罗申辩说: “无论对犹太人的律法,圣殿或凯撒, 我都没有罪. ”

25:9 But Festus, because he wanted to do a favor for the Jews, answered and said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to be tried before me there concerning these things?”
但非斯都为要讨好犹太人, 就问保罗: “你愿意去耶路撒冷, 让我在那里审问这事吗? ”

25:10 But Paul said, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where it is necessary for me to be judged. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
保罗说: “我现在站在凯撒的审判台前, 这里是我应当受审的地方. 我对犹太人并没有作过什么不对的事, 这是你清楚知道的.

25:11 If then I am doing wrong and have done anything deserving death, I am not trying to avoid dying. But if there is nothing true of the things which these people are accusing me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
我若作过不对的事, 犯过什么该死的罪, 就是死我也不推辞. 不过, 如果这些人告我的事不是真的, 谁也不可以把我送给他们. 我要向凯撒上诉. ”

25:12 Then Festus, after discussing this with his council, replied, “You have appealed to Caesar—to Caesar you will go!”
非斯都同议会商量后, 答复说: “你既然要向凯撒上诉, 可以到凯撒那里去. ”

25:13 Now after some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to welcome Festus.
过了一些日子, 亚基帕王和百尼基到该撒利亚来, 问候非斯都.

25:14 And while they were staying there many days, Festus laid out the case against Paul to the king, saying, “There is a certain man left behind by Felix as a prisoner,
他们在那里逗留了许多天, 非斯都把保罗的案情向王陈明, 说: “这里有一个囚犯, 是腓力斯留下来的.

25:15 concerning whom when I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and the elders of the Jews presented evidence, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.
我在耶路撒冷的时候, 祭司长和犹太人的长老控告他, 要求把他定罪.

25:16 To them I replied that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any man before the one who had been accused met his accusers face to face and received an opportunity for a defense concerning the accusation.
我答复他们说, 被告还没有和原告当面对证, 又没有机会为所控的罪申辩, 就被送给对方, 罗马人没有这个规例.

25:17 Therefore, when they had assembled here, I made no delay; on the next day I sat down on the judgment seat and gave orders for the man to be brought.
后来他们到了这里, 我没有耽延时间, 第二天就开庭, 吩咐把那人提出来.

25:18 When they stood up, his accusers began bringing no charge concerning him of the evil deeds that I was suspecting,
原告都站在那里, 他们所控诉他的, 并不是我所意料的恶事.

25:19 but they had some issues with him concerning their own religion, and concerning a certain Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul claimed to be alive.
他们与他争辩的, 只是他们的宗教问题; 还论到一位已经死了的耶稣, 保罗却说他是活着的.

25:20 And because I was at a loss with regard to the investigation concerning these things, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and to be judged there concerning these things.
关于这些争论, 我不知道怎样处理, 就问他愿不愿意上耶路撒冷去为这些事在那里受审.

25:21 But when Paul appealed that he be kept under guard for the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, I gave orders for him to be kept under guard until I could send him to Caesar.”
但保罗要求把他留下, 等待皇上裁判, 我就下令把他押起来, 等候解往凯撒那里. ”

25:22 So Agrippa said to Festus, “I want to hear the man myself also.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you will hear him.”
亚基帕对非斯都说: “我也愿意听听这人说些什么. ”非斯都说: “明天就请你来听. ”

25:23 So on the next day, Agrippa and Bernice came with great pageantry and entered into the audience hall, along with military tribunes and the most prominent men of the city. And when Festus gave the order, Paul was brought in.
第二天, 亚基帕和百尼基威风凛凛地来了, 同千夫长和城中的显要进了厅堂. 非斯都吩咐一声, 就有人把保罗提出来.

25:24 And Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole population of the Jews appealed to me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he must not live any longer.
非斯都说: “亚基帕王和在座的各位, 请看这个人. 耶路撒冷和本地的犹太人都向我请求, 嚷着说这个人不该活着.

25:25 But I understood that he had done nothing deserving death himself, and when this man appealed to His Majesty the Emperor, I decided to send him.
我查明他没有犯什么该死的罪, 但是他自己既然要向皇上上诉, 我就决定把他解去.

25:26 I do not have anything definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you all—and especially before you, King Agrippa—so that after this preliminary hearing has taken place, I may have something to write.
关于这个人, 我没有什么可以呈奏主上的. 所以把他带到你们面前, 特别是你亚基帕王面前, 为要在审查之后, 有所陈奏.

25:27 For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner and not to indicate the charges against him.”
因为我认为解送囚犯, 不指明他的罪状, 是不合理的. ”

Acts - Chapter 26

26:1 So Agrippa said to Paul, “It is permitted for you to speak for yourself.” Then Paul extended his hand and began to defend himself:
亚基帕对保罗说: “准你为自己申辩. ”于是保罗伸手辩护说:

26:2 “Concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate that before you I am about to defend myself today,
“亚基帕王啊, 犹太人控告我的事, 今天我可以在你面前辩护, 实在是万幸;

26:3 because you are especially acquainted with both all the customs and controversial questions with respect to the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me with patience.
特别是你熟悉犹太人的一切规例和争论, 所以求你耐心听我申诉:

26:4 “Now all the Jews know my manner of life from my youth, that had taken place from the beginning among my own people and in Jerusalem,
我从幼年到现在, 在本国,在耶路撒冷为人怎样, 犹太人都知道.

26:5 having known me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that in accordance with the strictest party of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.
如果他们肯作证的话, 他们是早就知道, 我是按着我们祖宗最严格的教派, 过着法利赛人的生活.

26:6 And now I stand here on trial on the basis of hope in the promise made by God to our fathers,
现在我站着受审, 是为了对神向我们祖先的应许存着盼望.

26:7 to which our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve him night and day. Concerning this hope I am being accused by the Jews, O king!
我们十二支派昼夜切切地事奉神, 都是盼望这应许实现. 王啊, 我被犹太人控告, 正是为了这个盼望.

26:8 Why is it thought incredible by you people that God raises the dead?
神使死人复活, 你们为什么认为是不可信的呢?

26:9 Indeed, I myself thought it was necessary to do many things opposed to the name of Jesus the Nazarene,
从前, 我也认为应该多方敌对拿撒勒人耶稣的名.

26:10 which I also did in Jerusalem, and not only did I lock up many of the saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests, but also when they were being executed, I cast my vote against them.
后来就在耶路撒冷这样作了. 我得到了众祭司长授权, 把许多圣徒关在监里, 并且他们被杀的时候, 我也表示同意.

26:11 And throughout all the synagogues I punished them often and tried to force them to blaspheme, and because I was enraged at them beyond measure, I was pursuing them even as far as to foreign cities.
我在各会堂里多次用刑强迫他们说亵渎的话; 我非常愤恨他们, 甚至追到国外的城巿去迫害他们.

26:12 In this activity I was traveling to Damascus with the authority and full power of the chief priests.
“那时候, 我得到祭司长的授权和准许, 去大马士革.

26:13 In the middle of the day along the road, O king, I saw a light from heaven, more than the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those who were traveling with me.
王啊, 就在中午的时候, 我在路上看见一道光, 比太阳更明亮, 从天上四面照着我和同行的人.

26:14 And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Aramaic language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads!’
我们都仆倒在地上, 我听见有声音用希伯来话对我说: ‘扫罗! 扫罗! 你为什么迫害我? 你要踢刺是难的. ’

26:15 So I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
我说: ‘主啊, 你是谁? ’主说: ‘我就是你所迫害的耶稣.

26:16 But get up and stand on your feet, because for this reason I have appeared to you, to appoint you a servant and witness both to the things in which you saw me and to the things in which I will appear to you,
你起来, 站着, 我向你显现, 是要指派你为我工作. 你要为你所见过的事, 和我将要向你显明的事作见证.

26:17 rescuing you from the people and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you,
我要救你脱离这人民和外族人, 差遣你到他们那里去,

26:18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
开他们的眼睛, 使他们从黑暗中归向光明, 从撒但的权下归向神, 使他们的罪恶得到赦免, 并且在那些因信我而成圣的人中同得基业. ’

26:19 “Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
“亚基帕王啊, 因此, 我没有违背这从天上来的异象,

26:20 but to those in Damascus first, and in Jerusalem and all the region of Judea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing deeds worthy of repentance.
先向大马士革,耶路撒冷,犹太全地的人宣讲, 后向外族人宣讲, 叫他们悔改, 归向神, 行事与悔改的心相称.

26:21 On account of these things the Jews seized me in the temple courts and were attempting to kill me.
犹太人就是为了这缘故在殿里捉住我, 想要杀我.

26:22 Therefore I have experienced help from God until this day, and I stand here testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what both the prophets and Moses have said were going to happen,
然而, 我得到神的帮助, 直到今日还是站得稳, 向尊卑老幼作见证, 我所讲的都是众先知和摩西所论的将来必成的事,

26:23 that the Christ was to suffer and that as the first of the resurrection from the dead, he was going to proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.”
就是基督必须受难, 并且从死人中首先复活, 把光明的信息传报给这人民和外族人. ”

26:24 And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “You are out of your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
保罗申诉到这里, 非斯都大声说: “保罗! 你疯了; 你的学问太大, 使你疯了! ”

26:25 But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but am speaking words of truth and rationality.
保罗说: “非斯都大人, 我没有疯, 我说的都是真实的话, 清醒的话.

26:26 For the king knows about these things, to whom also I am speaking freely, for I am not convinced that these things in any way have escaped his notice, because this was not done in a corner.
因为王知道这些事, 所以我对王坦白直说. 我确信这些事没有一件能瞒得过他, 因为这不是在背地里作的.

26:27 Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe.”
亚基帕王啊, 你信先知吗? 我知道你是信的. ”

26:28 But Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?”
亚基帕对保罗说: “你想用这样短短的时间就可以说服我作基督徒吗! ”

26:29 And Paul replied, “I pray to God, whether in a short time or in a long time, not only you but also all those who are listening to me today may become such people as I also am, except for these bonds!”
保罗说: “无论时间短也好, 时间长也好, 我向神所求的, 不单是你, 而且是今天所有的听众, 都能像我一样作基督徒, 只是不要有这些锁链. ”

26:30 Both the king and the governor got up, and Bernice and those who were sitting with them.
亚基帕王,总督和百尼基, 还有在座的人都站起来,

26:31 And as they were going out, they were talking to one another, saying, “This man is not doing anything deserving death or imprisonment.”
退到一边, 彼此谈论, 说: “这个人并没有犯过什么该死该绑的罪. ”

26:32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
亚基帕对非斯都说: “这个人若没有向凯撒上诉, 早就可以释放了. ”

Acts - Chapter 27

27:1 And when it was decided that we would sail away to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the Augustan Cohort.
他们决定要我们坐船往意大利去, 就把保罗和别的囚犯, 交给皇家军营里的一个百夫长, 名叫犹流.

27:2 And we went aboard a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to the places along the coast of Asia and put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
有一艘亚大米田来的船, 要开往亚西亚沿岸一带的地方, 我们上去, 船就开了. 跟我们在一起的, 还有马其顿的帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古.

27:3 And on the next day, we put in at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul kindly, allowed him to go to his friends to be cared for.
第二天到了西顿, 犹流宽待保罗, 准他去看看朋友, 接受他们的招待.

27:4 And from there we put out to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.
我们又从那里开船, 因为逆风, 就沿着塞浦路斯背风而行.

27:5 And after we had sailed across the open sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we put in at Myra in Lycia.
渡过基利家和旁非利亚对开的海面, 就到了吕家的每拉.

27:6 And there the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board it.
百夫长在那里找到一艘亚历山太来的船, 要开往意大利去, 就叫我们上了那船.

27:7 And sailing slowly, in many days and with difficulty we came to Cnidus. Because the wind did not permit us to go further, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
一连几天, 船都走得很慢, 好不容易才到了革尼土的对面. 因为有风阻挡着我们, 就沿着克里特背风而行, 从撒摩尼对面经过,

27:8 And sailing along its coast with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.
沿着海岸行驶, 航程很艰难, 后来才到了靠近拉西亚城一个名叫美港的地方.

27:9 And because considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because even the Fast was already over, Paul strongly recommended,
过了相当的时候, 连禁食节也过去了, 所以航行很危险, 保罗就劝告他们, 说:

27:10 saying to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to end with disaster and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives!”
“各位, 我看这次航行, 不单货物和船只要遭到损失, 大受破坏, 连我们的性命也难保. ”

27:11 But the centurion was convinced even more by the shipmaster and the shipowner than by what was said by Paul.
但百夫长宁愿相信船长和船主的话, 却不相信保罗所说的.

27:12 And because the harbor was unsuitable for spending the winter in, the majority decided on a plan to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could arrive at Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing toward the southwest and toward the northwest, to spend the winter there.
而且这港口不适宜过冬, 所以大多数人主张离开那里, 也许可以到非尼基去过冬. 非尼基是克里特的一个港口, 一面向西南, 一面向西北.

27:13 And when a southwest wind began to blow gently, because they thought they could accomplish their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close along Crete.
这时南风徐徐地吹来, 他们以为风势有利, 就起锚沿着克里特航行.

27:14 But not long afterward a wind like a hurricane, called the northeaster, rushed down from it.
可是过了不久, 有一股名叫“友拉革罗”(“友拉革罗”意即“东北风”)的飓风, 向岛上吹袭.

27:15 And when the ship was caught and was not able to head into the wind, we gave way and were driven along.
船给风困住了, 不能迎风前行, 只好随着风向飘流.

27:16 And running under the lee of a certain small island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to get the ship’s boat under control.
有一个小岛名叫高达, 我们就在这岛的背风岸急航, 好不容易才把救生艇拉住.

27:17 After hoisting it up, they made use of supports to undergird the ship. And because they were afraid lest they run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and thus were driven along.
水手把艇拉上来, 用缆索绕过船身捆好. 他们怕船在赛耳底搁浅, 就收下船帆, 任船飘流.

27:18 And because we were violently battered by the storm, on the next day they began jettisoning the cargo,
风浪把我们颠簸得很厉害, 第二天他们就把货物拋在海里,

27:19 and on the third day they threw overboard the gear of the ship with their own hands.
第三天又亲手把船上的用具扔掉.

27:20 But when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and with not a little bad weather confronting us, finally all hope was abandoned that we would be saved.
好几天, 都看不见星星和太阳, 狂风大浪催逼着我们, 这样看来, 我们连生还的希望都没有了.

27:21 And because many were experiencing lack of appetite, at that time Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have followed my advice not to put out to sea from Crete, and thus avoided this damage and loss!
大家很久没有吃饭了, 保罗就站在他们中间, 说: “各位, 你们本来应该听我的话不离开克里特, 就不会遭受这场损失和破坏了.

27:22 And now I urge you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life from among you, but only of the ship.
现在我劝你们放心. 除了这艘船以外, 你们没有一个人会丧命的.

27:23 For this night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve came to me,
因为我所归属所事奉的神, 他的使者昨天夜里站在我的旁边, 说:

27:24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar, and behold, God has graciously granted you all who are sailing with you.’
‘保罗, 不要怕. 你必定可以站在凯撒面前; 神已经把那些和你同船的人赐给你了. ’

27:25 Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will be like this—according to the way it was told to me.
所以, 各位请放心. 我相信神对我怎样说, 也必怎样成就.

27:26 But it is necessary that we run aground on some island.”
不过我们必会搁浅在一个海岛上. ”

27:27 And when the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven in the Adriatic Sea about the middle of the night, the sailors suspected they were approaching some land.
到了第十四天的晚上, 我们在亚得里亚海飘来飘去. 约在半夜的时候, 水手以为接近了陆地,

27:28 And taking soundings, they found twenty fathoms. So going on a little further and taking soundings again, they found fifteen fathoms.
就探测一下, 深三十六公尺; 稍往前行, 再探测一下, 深二十七公尺.

27:29 And because they were afraid lest somewhere we run aground against rough places, they threw down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.
他们怕我们会在乱石上搁浅, 就从船尾拋下四个锚, 期待着天亮.

27:30 And when the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship and were lowering the ship’s boat into the sea, pretending as if they were going to lay out anchors from the bow,
水手们想要离船逃走, 就把救生艇放在海上, 假装要从船头拋锚的样子.

27:31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved!”
保罗对百夫长和士兵说: “这些人若不留在船上, 你们就性命难保! ”

27:32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it fall away.
于是士兵砍断救生艇的绳子, 任它掉下去.

27:33 And until the day was about to come, Paul was urging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited anxiously, and you have continued without eating, having taken nothing.
天快亮的时候, 保罗劝大家吃饭, 说: “你们一直不吃东西, 挨饿苦候, 到今天已经十四天了!

27:34 Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is necessary for your preservation. For not a hair from your head will be lost.”
所以, 我劝你们吃点饭, 这可以维持你们的性命! 因为你们没有人会失掉一根头发. ”

27:35 And after he said these things and took bread, he gave thanks to God in front of them all, and after breaking it, he began to eat.
保罗说了这话, 就拿起饼来, 在众人面前感谢神, 然后擘开来吃.

27:36 So they all were encouraged and partook of food themselves.
于是大家都安心吃饭了.

27:37 (Now we were in all two hundred seventy six persons on the ship.)
我们在船上的共有二百七十六人,

27:38 And when they had eaten their fill of food, they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat into the sea.
大家吃饱了, 把麦子拋在海里, 好减轻船的负荷.

27:39 Now when day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which they decided to run the ship ashore if they could.
天亮的时候, 他们不认得那个地方, 只看见一个可以登岸的海湾, 就有意尽可能把船拢岸.

27:40 And slipping the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes of the steering oars. And hoisting the foresail to the wind that was blowing, they held course for the beach.
于是把锚砍掉, 丢在海里, 同时又松开舵绳, 拉起前帆, 顺风向岸驶去.

27:41 But falling into a place of crosscurrents, they ran the ship aground. And the bow stuck fast and stayed immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence.
但在海水夹流的地方, 船就搁了浅, 船头胶着不动, 船尾被海浪冲击, 就损坏了.

27:42 Now the plan of the soldiers was that they would kill the prisoners lest any escape by swimming away,
士兵想把囚犯都杀掉, 免得有人游泳逃脱.

27:43 but the centurion, because he wanted to save Paul, prevented them from doing what they intended, and gave orders that those who were able to swim should jump in first to get to the land,
但百夫长想要救保罗, 就阻止他们这样行. 他吩咐会游泳的跳下水去, 先到岸上,

27:44 and then the rest, some of whom floated on planks and some of whom on anything that was from the ship. And in this way all were brought safely to the land.
其余的人可以用木板, 或船上的器具上岸. 这样, 大家都安全地上岸了.

Acts - Chapter 28

28:1 And after we were brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta.
我们脱险之后, 才知道那岛名叫马尔他.

28:2 And the local inhabitants showed extraordinary kindness to us, for they lit a fire and welcomed us all, because of the rain that had begun and because of the cold.
当地的人对我们非常友善; 因为下过一场雨, 天气又冷, 他们就生了火来招待我们.

28:3 And when Paul had gathered a large number of sticks and was placing them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
保罗拾了一捆干柴, 放在火上的时候, 有一条毒蛇, 受不住热, 爬了出来, 缠住他的手.

28:4 And when the local people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “Doubtless this man is a murderer whom, although he was rescued from the sea, Justice has not permitted to live!”
当地的人看见那条蛇悬在他手上, 就彼此说: “这个人一定是凶手, 虽然从海里脱险, 天理也不容他活着! ”

28:5 He, in turn, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
但是保罗却把那条蛇抖在火里, 自己一点也没有受伤.

28:6 But they were expecting that he was going to swell up or suddenly to fall down dead. So after they had waited for a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and began saying that he was a god.
他们等着看他发肿, 或者忽然暴毙. 但等了很久, 见他平安无事, 就转念说, 他是个神明.

28:7 Now in the regions around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.
那地附近有些田产, 是岛上的首领部百流所拥有的. 他欢迎我们, 善意招待我们三天.

28:8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying down, afflicted with fever and dysentery. Paul went to him and after praying, he placed his hands on him and healed him.
那时, 部百流的父亲患了痢疾, 发热卧病在床, 保罗到他那里, 为他祈祷按手, 医好了他.

28:9 And after this had taken place, the rest of those on the island who had diseases were coming and being healed also.
这么一来, 岛上其他有病的都来了, 也都治好了.

28:10 They also honored us with many honors, and when we were putting out to sea, they gave us the things we needed.
他们多方面尊敬我们; 到开船的时候, 又把我们所需要的东西送来.

28:11 Now after three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered at the island, an Alexandrian one with the twin gods Castor and Pollux as its insignia.
过了三个月, 我们上了一艘亚历山太来的船. 这船在岛上过冬, 船的名字是“宙斯双子”.

28:12 And putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
到了叙拉古, 我们停留了三天.

28:13 From there we got underway and arrived at Rhegium, and after one day a south wind came up and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
从那里绕道航行, 来到利基翁. 过了一天, 起了南风, 第二天到达部丢利.

28:14 where we found brothers, and were implored to stay with them seven days. And in this way we came to Rome.
我们在那里遇见一些弟兄, 他们邀请我们一同住了七天. 这样, 我们就来到了罗马.

28:15 And from there the brothers, when they heard the news about us, came to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns. When he saw them, Paul gave thanks to God and took courage.
弟兄们听到了我们的消息, 就从罗马出来, 在亚比乌和三馆迎接我们. 保罗见了他们, 就感谢神, 胆子也壮了起来.

28:16 And when we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.
我们到了罗马, 保罗获准独自与看守他的士兵居住.

28:17 Now it happened that after three days, he called together those who were the most prominent of the Jews. And when they had assembled, he said to them, “Men and brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, from Jerusalem I was delivered as a prisoner into the hands of the Romans,
过了三天, 保罗请犹太人的首领来. 他们都到了, 保罗说: “各位弟兄, 我虽然没有作过什么事反对人民或者反对祖先的规例, 却被捆绑起来, 从耶路撒冷交到罗马人的手里.

28:18 who, when they had examined me, were wanting to release me, because there was no basis for an accusation worthy of death with me.
他们审讯之后, 因为在我身上没有什么该死的罪, 就想要释放我.

28:19 But because the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar (not as if I had any charge to bring against my own people).
可是犹太人反对, 我迫不得已才上诉凯撒, 并不是有什么事要控告我的国民.

28:20 Therefore for this reason I have requested to see you and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel I am wearing this chain!”
因此, 我请你们来见面谈谈. 我原是为了以色列的盼望, 才带上这条锁链的. ”

28:21 And they said to him, “We have received no letters about you from Judea, nor has any of the brothers come and reported or spoken anything evil about you.
他们说: “我们没有收到犹太来的信, 是提到你的, 弟兄中也没有人来报告, 或说你什么坏话.

28:22 But we would like to hear from you what you think, for concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.”
但我们觉得应该听听你本人的意见, 因为关于这教派, 我们知道是到处遭人反对的. ”

28:23 And when they had set a day with him, many more came to him at his lodging place, to whom he was explaining from early in the morning until evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and attempting to convince them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets.
他们和保罗约好了一个日子, 到那日有很多人到他的住所来见他. 他从早到晚向他们讲解, 为神的国竭力作见证, 引用摩西的律法和先知的话劝他们信耶稣.

28:24 And some were convinced by what was said, but others refused to believe.
他所说的话, 有人信服, 也有人不信.

28:25 So being in disagreement with one another, they began to leave after Paul made one statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through the prophet Isaiah to your fathers,
他们彼此不合, 就分散了. 未散以前, 保罗说了几句话: “圣灵借以赛亚先知对你们祖先所说的, 一点不错.

28:26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, “You will keep on hearing and will never understand, and you will keep on seeing and will never perceive.
他说: ‘你去告诉这人民: 你们听是听见了, 总是不明白; 看是看见了, 总是不领悟.

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” ’
因为这人民的心思迟钝, 用不灵的耳朵去听, 又闭上了眼睛; 免得自己眼睛看见, 耳朵听见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 我就医好他们. ’

28:28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They also will listen!”
所以你们应当知道, 神这救恩, 已经传给外族人, 他们也必听从. ”

28:29
(有些抄本在此有第29节: “他说了这话, 犹太人中间大起争论, 就走了. ”)

28:30 So he stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and welcomed all who came to him,
保罗在自己所租的房子里, 住了两年. 凡来见他的人, 他都接待,

28:31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
并且放胆地传讲神的国, 教导有关主耶稣基督的事, 没有受到什么禁止.

Romans (罗马书)

Romans - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
基督耶稣的仆人保罗, 蒙召作使徒, 奉派传神的福音.

1:2 which he promised previously through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
这福音是神借着众先知在圣经上预先所应许的,

1:3 concerning his Son, who was born a descendant of David according to the flesh,
就是论到他的儿子我们的主耶稣基督: 按肉身说, 他是从大卫的后裔生的;

1:4 who was declared Son of God in power according to the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ our Lord,
按圣洁的灵说, 因为从死人中复活, 显明他是大有能力的,神的儿子(“显明他是大有能力的,神的儿子”或译: “以大能显明他是神的儿子”).

1:5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name,
我们从他领受了恩典和使徒的职分, 在万族中使人因他的名相信而顺服,

1:6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ.
其中也有你们这蒙耶稣基督所召的人.

1:7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
我写信给各位住在罗马, 为神所爱, 蒙召作圣徒的人. 愿恩惠平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督临到你们.

1:8 First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in the whole world.
首先, 我靠着耶稣基督, 为你们大家感谢我的神, 因为你们的信心传遍天下.

1:9 For God, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, how constantly I make mention of you,
我在传扬他儿子福音的事上, 用心灵事奉的神, 可以作证我是怎样不断地记念你们,

1:10 always asking in my prayers if somehow now at last I may succeed to come to you in the will of God.
常常在祷告中恳切祈求, 也许我可以照着他的旨意, 终于能够顺利地到你们那里去.

1:11 For I desire to see you, in order that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, in order to strengthen you,
因为我很想见你们, 好把一些属灵的恩赐分给你们, 使你们可以坚定;

1:12 that is, to be encouraged together with you through our mutual faith, both yours and mine.
也使我在你们中间, 借着你我彼此的信心, 大家一同得到安慰.

1:13 Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that often I intended to come to you, and was prevented until now, in order that I might have some fruit among you also, just as also among the rest of the Gentiles.
弟兄们, 我不愿意你们不知道, 我好几次预先定好了要到你们那里去, 为了要在你们中间也得一些果子, 像在其他的民族中间一样, 可是直到现在还有阻碍.

1:14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
无论是希腊人或是未开化的人, 聪明的人或是愚笨的人, 我都欠他们的债.

1:15 Thus I am eager to proclaim the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
所以, 对我来说, 我随时都愿意把福音也传给你们在罗马的人.

1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
我不以福音为耻; 这福音是神的大能, 要救所有相信的, 先是犹太人, 后是希腊人.

1:17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it is written, “But the one who is righteous by faith will live.”
神的义就是借着这福音显明出来, 本于信而归于信, 正如经上所记: “义人必因信得生. ”

1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
神的震怒, 从天上向所有不虔不义的人显露出来, 就是向那些以不义压制真理的人显露出来.

1:19 because what can be known about God is evident among them, for God made it clear to them.
神的事情, 人所能知道的, 在他们里面原是明显的, 因为神已经向他们显明了.

1:20 For from the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, both his eternal power and deity, are discerned clearly, being understood in the things created, so that they are without excuse.
其实自从创世以来, 神那看不见的事, 就如他永恒的大能和神性, 都是看得见的, 就是从他所造的万物中可以领悟, 叫人没有办法推诿.

1:21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasoning, and their senseless hearts were darkened.
因为他们虽然知道神, 却不尊他为神, 也不感谢他, 反而心思变为虚妄, 愚顽的心就迷糊了.

1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
他们自以为是聪明的, 却成了愚蠢的.

1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God with the likeness of an image of mortal human beings and birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.
他们用必朽坏的人,飞禽,走兽和昆虫的形象, 取代了永不朽坏的神的荣耀.

1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to immorality, that their bodies would be dishonored among themselves,
因此, 神就任凭他们顺着心中的私欲去作污秽的事, 以致羞辱自己的身体.

1:25 who exchanged the truth of God with a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed for eternity. Amen.
他们用虚谎取代了神的真理, 敬拜事奉受造之物, 却不敬拜事奉造物的主. 他是永远可称颂的, 阿们.

1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to degrading passions, for their females exchanged the natural relations for those contrary to nature,
因此, 神就任凭他们放纵可耻的情欲: 他们的女人把原来的性的功能, 变成违反自然的功能;

1:27 and likewise also the males, abandoning the natural relations with the female, were inflamed in their desire toward one another, males with males committing the shameless deed, and receiving in themselves the penalty that was necessary for their error.
同样地, 男人也舍弃了女人原来的性功能, 彼此欲火攻心, 男人与男人作出可耻的事. 他们这样妄为, 就在自己身上受到应该受的报应.

1:28 And just as they did not see fit to recognize God, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do the things that are not proper,
他们既然故意不认识神, 神就任凭他们存着败坏的心, 去作那些不正当的事.

1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greediness, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malevolence. They are gossipers,
这些人充满了各样的不义,邪恶,贪心,阴险; 满怀嫉妒,凶杀,好斗,欺诈,幸灾乐祸; 又是好说谗言的,

1:30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, contrivers of evil, disobedient to parents,
毁谤人的,憎恨神的,凌辱人的,傲慢的,自夸的,制造恶事的,忤逆父母的,

1:31 senseless, faithless, unfeeling, unmerciful,
冥顽不灵的,不守信用的,冷酷无情的,没有恻隐之心的.

1:32 who, although they know the requirements of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do they do the same things, but also they approve of those who do them.
他们虽然明明知道行这些事的人, 神判定他们是该死的, 然而他们不单自己去行, 也喜欢别人去行.

Romans - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, every one of you who passes judgment. For in that which you pass judgment on someone else, you condemn yourself, for you who are passing judgment are doing the same things.
你这判断人的啊! 无论你是谁, 都没有办法推诿. 你在什么事上判断人, 就在什么事上定自己的罪; 因为你所作的, 正是你所判断的事.

2:2 Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.
我们知道, 神必照着真理审判行这些事的人.

2:3 But do you think this, O man who passes judgment on those who do such things, and who does the same things, that you will escape the judgment of God?
你这个人, 你判断行这些事的人, 自己所行的却是一样, 你以为能逃脱神的审判吗?

2:4 Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
还是你藐视神丰富的恩慈,宽容和忍耐, 不晓得他的恩慈是要领你悔改的吗?

2:5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
可是你一直硬着心肠, 不肯悔改, 为自己积蓄神的忿怒, 就是他彰显公义审判的那天所要发的忿怒.

2:6 who will reward each one according to his works:
神必照各人所作的报应各人:

2:7 to those who, by perseverance in good work, seek glory and honor and immortality, eternal life,
以永生报答那些耐心行善,寻求荣耀尊贵和不朽的人,

2:8 but to those who act from selfish ambition and who disobey the truth, but who obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.
却以震怒和愤恨报应那些自私自利,不顺从真理而顺从不义的人;

2:9 There will be affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, of the Jew first and of the Greek,
把患难和愁苦加给所有作恶的人, 先是犹太人, 后是希腊人,

2:10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and to the Greek.
却把荣耀,尊贵与平安赐给所有行善的人, 先是犹太人, 后是希腊人.

2:11 For there is no partiality with God.
因为神并不偏待人.

2:12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
凡不在律法之下犯了罪的, 将不按律法而灭亡; 凡在律法之下犯了罪的, 将按律法受审判.

2:13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.
因为在神面前, 不是听律法的为义, 而是行律法的得称为义.

2:14 For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, these, although they do not have the law, are a law to themselves,
没有律法的外族人, 如果按本性行律法上的事, 他们虽然没有律法, 自己就是自己的律法;

2:15 who show the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts one after another accusing or even defending them
这就表明律法的作用是刻在他们的心里, 有他们的良心一同作证, 他们的思想互相较量, 或作控告,或作辩护.

2:16 on the day when God judges the secret things of people, according to my gospel, through Christ Jesus.
这也要照着我所传的福音, 在神借着耶稣基督审判各人隐情的那一天, 彰显出来.

2:17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God
你身为犹太人, 倚靠律法, 仗着神夸口,

2:18 and know his will and approve the things that are superior, because you are instructed by the law,
而且明白他的旨意, 又从律法得了教导, 能够辨别什么是好的,

2:19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those in darkness,
自信是瞎子的向导, 在黑暗中的人的光,

2:20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
愚昧人的导师, 小孩子的教师, 在律法上得了整套的知识和真理;

2:21 Therefore, the one who teaches someone else, do you not teach yourself? The one who preaches not to steal, do you steal?
你既然教导别人, 难道不教导自己吗? 你传讲不可偷窃, 自己却偷窃吗?

2:22 The one who says not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one who abhors idols, do you rob temples?
你说不可奸淫, 自己却奸淫吗? 你憎恶偶像, 自己却劫掠庙宇吗?

2:23 Who boast in the law, by the transgression of the law you dishonor God!
你既然以律法夸口, 自己却因犯律法而羞辱神吗?

2:24 For just as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
正如经上所说的: “神的名, 因你们的缘故在列邦中被亵渎. ”

2:25 For circumcision is of value if you do the law, but if you should be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
你若遵行律法, 割礼固然有益处; 但你若是犯律法的, 你的割礼就不是割礼了.

2:26 Therefore, if the uncircumcised person follows the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?
这样, 没有受割礼的人, 如果遵守律法所规定的, 他虽然没有受过割礼, 不也算是受过割礼的吗?

2:27 And the uncircumcised person by nature who carries out the law will judge you who, though provided with the precise written code and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.
那本来没有受割礼却遵守律法的人, 就要审判你这有仪文和割礼而犯律法的人.

2:28 For the Jew is not one outwardly, nor is circumcision outwardly, in the flesh.
因为表面上作犹太人的并不是犹太人, 在肉身上表面的割礼也不是割礼.

2:29 But the Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter, whose praise is not from people but from God.
唯有在内心作犹太人的才是犹太人; 割礼也是心里的, 是靠着圣灵而不是靠着仪文. 这样的人所受的称赞, 不是从人来的, 而是从神来的.

Romans - Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore, what is the advantage of the Jew, or what is the use of circumcision?
这样说来, 犹太人独特的地方在哪里呢? 割礼又有什么益处呢?

3:2 Much in every way. For first, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
从各方面来说, 的确很多. 最重要的, 是神的圣言已经托付了他们.

3:3 What is the result if some refused to believe? Their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?
即使有人不信, 又有什么关系呢? 难道他们的不信会使神的信实无效吗?

3:4 May it never be! But let God be true but every human being a liar, just as it is written, “In order that you may be justified in your words, and may prevail when you are judged.”
绝不可能! 神总是诚实的, 人却是虚谎的, 正如经上所记: “你在话语上, 显为公义; 你被论断时, 必然得胜. ”

3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? God, who inflicts wrath, is not unjust, is he? (I am speaking according to a human perspective.)
我且照着人的见解来说, 我们的不义若彰显神的义, 我们可以说什么呢? 难道降怒的神是不义的吗?

3:6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?
绝对不是! 如果是这样, 神怎能审判世界呢?

3:7 But if by my lying, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still condemned as a sinner?
但是神的诚实, 如果因我的虚谎而更加显出他的荣耀来, 为什么我还要像罪人一样受审判呢?

3:8 And why not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say), “Let us do evil, in order that good may come of it? Their condemnation is just!
为什么不说: “我们去作恶以成善吧! ”(有人毁谤我们, 说我们讲过这话. )这种人被定罪是理所当然的.

3:9 What then? Do we have an advantage? Not at all. For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,
那又怎么样呢? 我们比他们强吗? 绝不是的. 因为我们已经控诉过, 无论是犹太人或是希腊人, 都在罪恶之下,

3:10 just as it is written, “There is no one righteous, not even one;
正如经上所说: “没有义人, 连一个也没有,

3:11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
没有明白的, 没有寻求神的;

3:12 All have turned aside together; they have become worthless; There is no one who practices kindness; there is not even one.
人人都偏离了正道, 一同变成污秽; 没有行善的, 连一个也没有.

3:13 Their throat is an opened grave; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips,
他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓, 他们用舌头弄诡诈, 他们嘴里有虺蛇的毒,

3:14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
满口是咒骂和恶毒;

3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood;
为了杀人流血, 他们的脚步飞快,

3:16 destruction and distress are in their paths,
在经过的路上留下毁灭和悲惨.

3:17 and they have not known the way of peace.
和睦之道, 他们不晓得,

3:18 The fear of God is not before their eyes.”
他们的眼中也不怕神. ”

3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law, in order that every mouth may be closed and the whole world may become accountable to God.
然而我们晓得, 凡律法所说的, 都是对在律法之下的人说的, 好让每一个人都没有话可讲, 使全世界的人都伏在神的审判之下.

3:20 For by the works of the law no person will be declared righteous before him, for through the law comes knowledge of sin.
没有一个人可以靠行律法, 在神面前得称为义, 因为借着律法, 人对于罪才有充分的认识.

3:21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified about by the law and the prophets—
现在, 有律法和先知的话可以证明: 神的义在律法之外已经显明出来,

3:22 that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
就是神的义, 因着信耶稣基督, 毫无区别地临到所有信的人.

3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
因为人人都犯了罪, 亏缺了神的荣耀,

3:24 being justified as a gift by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
但他们却因着神的恩典, 借着在基督耶稣里的救赎, 就白白地称义.

3:25 whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins,
神设立了耶稣为赎罪祭(“赎罪祭”原文作“蔽罪所”), 是凭着他的血, 借着人的信, 为的是要显明神的义; 因为神用忍耐的心宽容了人从前所犯的罪,

3:26 in the forbearance of God, for the demonstration of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just and the one who justifies the person by faith in Jesus.
好在现今显明他的义, 使人知道他自己为义, 又称信耶稣的人为义.

3:27 Therefore, where is boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
这样, 有什么可夸的呢? 没有可夸的了. 凭什么准则说没有的呢? 凭行为吗? 不是的, 而是以信心为准则说的.

3:28 For we consider a person to be justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
因为我们认定, 人称义是由于信, 并不是靠行律法.

3:29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, also of the Gentiles,
难道神只是犹太人的神吗? 不也是外族人的神吗? 是的, 他也是外族人的神.

3:30 since God is one, who will justify those who are circumcised by faith and those who are uncircumcised through faith.
神既然只有一位, 他就以信为准则称受割礼的为义, 也要以信为准则称没有受割礼的为义.

3:31 Therefore, do we nullify the law through faith? May it never be! But we uphold the law.
这样说来, 我们以信废掉了律法吗? 绝对不是, 倒是巩固了律法.

Romans - Chapter 4

4:1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has found?
那么, 论到在血统(“血统”原文作“肉身”)上作我们祖先的亚伯拉罕所经验的, 我们可以说什么呢?

4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
亚伯拉罕若是因行为称义, 就有可夸的, 只是不能在神面前夸口.

4:3 For what does the scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness.”
经上怎么样说呢? ”亚伯拉罕信神, 这就算为他的义. ”

4:4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited according to grace, but according to his due.
作工的得工资, 不算是恩典, 是他应得的.

4:5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,
可是, 那不作工而只信那称不敬虔的人为义的神的, 他的信就算为义了.

4:6 just as David also speaks about the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
大卫也是这样说, 那不靠行为而蒙神算为义的人是有福的!

4:7 “Blessed are they whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins are covered over.
“过犯得蒙赦免, 罪恶得到遮盖的人, 是有福的;

4:8 Blessed is the person against whom the Lord will never count sin.”
主不算为有罪的, 这人是有福的. ”

4:9 Therefore, is this blessing for those who are circumcised, or also for those who are uncircumcised? For we say, “Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.”
这样看来, 那有福的人, 是指受割礼的呢, 还是指没有受割礼的呢? 因为我们说: “亚伯拉罕的信算为他的义. ”

4:10 How then was it credited? While he was circumcised or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised but while uncircumcised!
那么, 是怎样算的呢? 是在他受割礼以后呢, 还是在他受割礼之前呢? 不是在他受割礼以后, 而是在他受了割礼以前.

4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness by faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he could be the father of all who believe although they are uncircumcised, so that righteousness could be credited to them,
他领受了割礼为记号, 作他受割礼之前因信称义的印证, 使他作所有没有受割礼而信之人的父, 使他们也被算为义;

4:12 and the father of those who are circumcised to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.
又作受割礼之人的父, 就是作那些不仅受割礼, 并且照着我们祖宗亚伯拉罕未受割礼时就信的那脚踪而行之人的父.

4:13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness by faith.
原来神给亚伯拉罕和他后裔承受世界的应许, 并不是因着律法, 而是借着因信而来的义.

4:14 For if those of the law are heirs, faith is rendered void and the promise is nullified.
如果属于律法的人才能成为后嗣, 信就没有作用, 应许也就落空了.

4:15 For the law produces wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
因为律法带来刑罚, 没有律法, 就没有违背律法的事.

4:16 Because of this, it is by faith, in order that it may be according to grace, so that the promise may be secure to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
所以, 成为后嗣是因着信, 为的是要按着神的恩典, 使给所有后裔的应许坚定不移, 不但临到那属于律法的人, 也临到那效法亚伯拉罕而信的人. 亚伯拉罕在神面前作我们众人的父,

4:17 (just as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”) before God, in whom he believed, the one who makes the dead alive and who calls the things that are not as though they are,
如经上所记: “我已经立了你作万国的父. ”他所信的, 是叫死人得生命,使无变为有的神.

4:18 who against hope believed in hope, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said, “so will your descendants be.”
在他没有盼望的时候, 仍然怀着盼望去信, 因此就成了万国的父, 正如神所说: “你的后裔将要这样众多. ”

4:19 And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, because he was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
他快到一百岁的时候, 想到自己的身体好像已经死了, 撒拉也不能生育, 他的信心还是不软弱,

4:20 And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God
也没有因着不信而疑惑神的应许, 反倒坚信不移, 把荣耀归给神,

4:21 and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was also able to do.
满心相信神所应许的, 神必能成就.

4:22 Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness.
因此, 这就算为他的义.

4:23 But it was not written for the sake of him alone that it was credited to him,
“算为他的义”这一句话, 不是单为他写的,

4:24 but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
也是为我们这将来得算为义的人写的, 就是为我们这信神使我们的主耶稣从死人中复活的人写的.

4:25 who was handed over on account of our trespasses, and was raised up in the interest of our justification.
耶稣为我们的过犯被交去处死, 为我们的称义而复活.

Romans - Chapter 5

5:1 Therefore, because we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
所以, 我们既然因信称义, 就借着我们的主耶稣基督与神和好;

5:2 through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
我们也凭着信, 借着他可以进入现在所站的这恩典中, 并且以盼望得享神的荣耀为荣.

5:3 And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces patient endurance,
不但这样, 我们更以患难为荣; 知道患难产生忍耐,

5:4 and patient endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,
忍耐产生毅力, 毅力产生盼望;

5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
盼望是不会令人蒙羞的, 因为神借着所赐给我们的圣灵, 把他的爱浇灌在我们的心里.

5:6 For while we were still helpless, yet at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly.
当我们还软弱的时候, 基督就照所定的日期, 为不敬虔的人死了.

5:7 For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die),
为义人死, 是少有的; 为好人死, 或有敢作的;

5:8 but God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
唯有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死, 神对我们的爱就在此显明了.

5:9 Therefore, by much more, because we have been declared righteous now by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath.
所以, 我们现在既然因他的血称义, 就更要借着他免受神的忿怒.

5:10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, by much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
我们作仇敌的时候, 尚且借着神儿子的死与他复和, 既然复和了, 就更要因他的生得救了!

5:11 And not only this, but also we are boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
不但这样, 我们现在已经借着我们的主耶稣基督与神复和, 也借着他以神为荣.

5:12 Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned.
正好像罪借着一个人入了世界, 死又是从罪来的, 所以死就临到全人类, 因为人人都犯了罪.

5:13 For until the law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one’s account when there is no law.
没有律法以前, 罪已经在世界上了; 不过, 没有律法的时候, 罪也不算罪.

5:14 But death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who is to come.
可是, 从亚当到摩西, 死就掌权了, 甚至那些不像亚当那样犯罪的人, 也在死的权下; 亚当正是要来的那一位的预表.

5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass, for if by the trespass of the one, the many died, by much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many.
但恩赏和过犯是截然不同的; 如果因着那一人的过犯, 众人都死了, 神的恩典和这一人耶稣基督在恩典里的赏赐, 对众人就更加丰盛了.

5:16 And the gift is not as through the one who sinned, for on the one hand, judgment from the one sin led to condemnation, but the gift, from many trespasses, led to justification.
这赏赐和那一人犯罪的后果也是不同的; 因为审判是由一人而来, 以致定罪, 恩赏却由许多过犯而来, 以致称义.

5:17 For if by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
如果因着那一人的过犯, 死就因那一人而掌权, 那些蒙丰富的恩典并且得公义为赏赐的, 就更要因这一位耶稣基督在生命中掌权了.

5:18 Consequently therefore, as through one trespass came condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed came justification of life to all people.
这样看来, 因一次的过犯, 全人类都被定罪; 照样, 因一次的义行, 全人类都被称义得生命了.

5:19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous.
因着那一人的悖逆, 众人就被列为罪人; 照样, 因着这一人的顺服, 众人也被列为义人了.

5:20 Now the law came in as a side issue, in order that the trespass could increase, but where sin increased, grace was present in greater abundance,
律法的出现, 是要叫过犯增多; 然而罪在哪里增多, 恩典就更加增多了.

5:21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
罪借着死掌权; 照样, 恩典也借着义掌权, 使人借着我们的主耶稣基督进入永生.

Romans - Chapter 6

6:1 What therefore shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, in order that grace may increase?
这样, 我们可以说什么呢? 我们可以常在罪中, 叫恩典增多吗?

6:2 May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
绝对不可! 我们向罪死了的人, 怎么可以仍然活在罪中呢?

6:3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
难道你们不晓得我们这受洗归入基督耶稣的人, 是受洗归入他的死吗?

6:4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may live a new way of life.
所以我们借着洗礼归入死, 与他同葬, 为的是要我们过新生命的生活, 像基督借着父的荣耀从死人中复活一样.

6:5 For if we have become identified with him in the likeness of his death, certainly also we will be identified with him in the likeness of his resurrection,
我们若在他死的样式上与他联合, 也要在他复活的样式上与他联合.

6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified together with him, in order that the body of sin may be done away with, that we may no longer be enslaved to sin.
我们知道, 我们的旧人已经与基督同钉十字架, 使罪身丧失机能, 使我们不再作罪的奴仆,

6:7 For the one who has died has been freed from sin.
因为死了的人已经脱离罪了.

6:8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
我们既然与基督同死, 就信也必与他同活.

6:9 knowing that Christ, because he has been raised from the dead, is going to die no more, death no longer being master over him.
我们知道, 基督既然从死人中复活, 就不再死, 死也不再辖制他了.

6:10 For that death he died, he died to sin once and never again, but that life he lives, he lives to God.
他死, 是向罪死了, 只有这一次; 他活, 是向神活着.

6:11 So also you, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
你们也应当这样, 向罪算自己是死的, 在基督耶稣里, 向神却是活的.

6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires,
所以, 不要容罪在你们必死的肉身上掌权, 使你们顺从肉身的私欲,

6:13 and do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
也不要把你们的肢体献给罪, 作不义的用具; 倒要像出死得生的人, 把自己献给神, 并且把你们的肢体献给神作义的用具.

6:14 For sin will not be master over you, because you are not under law, but under grace.
罪必不能辖制你们, 因为你们不是在律法之下, 而是在恩典之下.

6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
那却怎么样呢? 我们不在律法之下, 而在恩典之下, 就可以犯罪吗? 绝对不可!

6:16 Do you not know that to whomever you present yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to whomever you obey, whether sin, leading to death, or obedience, leading to righteousness?
难道你们不知道你们自愿作奴仆去顺从人, 顺从谁就作谁的奴仆, 或作罪的奴仆以致于死, 或作顺从的奴仆以致于义吗?

6:17 But thanks be to God that you were slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted,
感谢神, 你们虽然作过罪的奴仆, 现在却从心里顺从了传授给你们的教义的规范.

6:18 and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
你们既然从罪里得了释放, 就作了义的奴仆.

6:19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you presented your members as slaves to immorality and lawlessness, leading to lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.
因为你们肉体的弱点, 我就按一般人的话来说, 你们从前怎样把你们的肢体献给不洁和不法作奴仆, 以致于不法, 现在也要照样把你们的肢体献给义作奴仆, 以致于成圣.

6:20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with respect to righteousness.
你们作罪的奴仆的时候, 就不受义的约束.

6:21 Therefore what sort of fruit did you have then, about which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
那么, 你们在现今以为羞耻的事上, 当时得了什么呢? 那些事的结局就是死.

6:22 But now, having been set free from sin and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit leading to sanctification, and its end is eternal life.
现在你们既然从罪里得了释放, 作了神的奴仆, 就有成圣的果子, 那结局就是永生.

6:23 For the compensation due sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
因为罪的工价就是死, 但神的恩赏, 在我们的主基督耶稣里, 却是永生.

Romans - Chapter 7

7:1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is master of a person for as long a time as he lives?
弟兄们, 我对懂得律法的人说, 你们不晓得律法管辖人, 是在他活着的期间吗?

7:2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the husband.
一个已婚的妇人, 在丈夫活着的时候, 她是受律法约束归属丈夫; 丈夫若死了, 她就脱离丈夫在律法上的约束.

7:3 Therefore as a result, if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she belongs to another man.
所以, 当丈夫还活着的时候, 如果她归属别的男人, 就称为淫妇; 丈夫若死了, 她就脱离了律法的约束, 如果她归属别的男人, 也不是淫妇.

7:4 So then, my brothers, you also were brought to death with respect to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
这样, 我的弟兄们, 你们借着基督的身体, 对律法来说也已经死了, 使你们归属另一位, 就是那从死人中复活的, 为的是要我们结果子给神.

7:5 For when we were in the flesh, sinful desires were working through the law in our members, to bear fruit for death.
我们从前属肉体的时候, 罪恶的情欲借着律法在我们的肢体里发动, 就结出死亡的果子.

7:6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter of the law.
但现在, 我们既然向那捆绑我们的律法死了, 就脱离了律法的约束, 好让我们用心灵的新样子, 而不用仪文的旧方式来服事主.

7:7 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
这样, 我们可以说什么呢? 难道律法是罪吗? 绝对不是. 不过, 如果不是借着律法, 我就不知道什么是罪; 如果不是律法说“不可贪心”, 我就不知道什么是贪心.

7:8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
但罪趁着机会, 借着诫命在我里面发动各样的贪心, 因为没有律法, 罪是死的.

7:9 And I was alive once, apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life
在没有律法的时候, 我是活的; 但诫命一来, 罪就活了,

7:10 and I died, and this commandment which was to lead to life was found with respect to me to lead to death.
我就死了, 那本来使人活的诫命, 反而使我死了;

7:11 For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
因为罪借着诫命把握着机会来欺骗我, 并且杀了我.

7:12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
这样, 律法是圣洁的, 诫命也是圣洁,公义和良善的.

7:13 Therefore, did that which is good become death to me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be recognized as sin, producing death through what is good for me, in order that sin might become sinful to an extraordinary degree through the commandment.
既是这样, 那良善的反而使我死吗? 绝对不是! 但罪借着那良善的使我死, 就显出真是罪, 为了要使罪借着诫命变成更加邪恶.

7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold into slavery to sin.
我们知道律法是属灵的, 我却是属肉体的, 已经卖给罪了.

7:15 For what I am doing I do not understand, because what I want to do, this I do not practice, but what I hate, this I do.
因为我所作的, 我不明白; 我所愿意的, 我没有去作, 我所恨恶的, 我倒去作.

7:16 But if what I do not want to do, this I do, I agree with the law that it is good.
如果我所不愿意的, 我倒去作, 我就不得不承认律法是好的.

7:17 But now I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that lives in me.
既是这样, 那就不是我作的, 而是住在我里面的罪作的.

7:18 For I know that good does not live in me, that is, in my flesh. For the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
我知道在我里面, 就是在我肉体之中, 没有良善, 因为立志行善由得我, 行出来却由不得我.

7:19 For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but the evil that I do not want to do, this I do.
所以我愿意行的善, 我没有去行; 我不愿意作的恶, 我倒去作了.

7:20 But if what I do not want to do, this I am doing, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that lives in me.
我若作自己不愿意作的事, 那就不是我作的, 而是住在我里面的罪作的.

7:21 Consequently, I find the principle with me, the one who wants to do good, that evil is present with me.
因此, 我发现了一个律, 就是我想向善的时候, 恶就在我里面出现.

7:22 For I joyfully agree with the law of God in my inner person,
按着我里面的人来说, 我是喜欢神的律,

7:23 but I observe another law in my members, at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that exists in my members.
但我发觉肢体中另有一个律, 和我心中的律争战, 把我掳去附从肢体中的罪律.

7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
我这个人真是苦啊! 谁能救我脱离这使我死亡的身体呢?

7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself with my mind am enslaved to the law of God, but with my flesh I am enslaved to the law of sin.
感谢神, 借着我们的主耶稣基督就能脱离了. 可见, 一方面我自己心里服事神的律, 另一方面我的肉体却服事罪的律.

Romans - Chapter 8

8:1 Consequently, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
所以现在, 那些在耶稣基督里的人就不被定罪了;

8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
因为生命之灵的律在基督耶稣里使我自由, 脱离了罪和死的律.

8:3 For what was impossible for the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
律法因肉体的软弱所作不到的, 神作到了: 他差遣自己的儿子成为罪身的样式, 为了除掉罪, 就在肉体中把罪判决了,

8:4 in order that the requirement of the law would be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
使律法所要求的义, 可以在我们这些不随从肉体而随从圣灵去行的人身上实现出来.

8:5 For those who are living according to the flesh are intent on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the Spirit are intent on the things of the Spirit.
随从肉体的人, 以肉体的事为念; 随从圣灵的人, 以圣灵的事为念.

8:6 For the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace,
以肉体为念就是死, 以圣灵为念就是生命,平安;

8:7 because the mindset of the flesh is enmity toward God, for it is not subjected to the law of God, for it is not able to do so,
因为以肉体为念就是与神为仇, 既不服从神的律法, 也的确不能够服从;

8:8 and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
属肉体的人不能得神的喜悦.

8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.
神的灵既然住在你们里面, 你们就不是属于肉体, 而是属于圣灵的了. 如果人没有基督的灵, 就不是属于基督的.

8:10 But if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
基督若在你们里面, 你们的身体因着罪的缘故是死的, 而圣灵却因着义的缘故赐给你们生命.

8:11 And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.
如果那使耶稣从死人中复活者的灵住在你们里面, 那使基督从死人中复活的, 也必借着住在你们里面的圣灵, 使你们必死的身体活过来.

8:12 So then, brothers, we are obligated not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
弟兄们, 可见我们并不是欠肉体的债, 随着肉体而活.

8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
如果随着肉体而活, 你们必定死; 如果靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行, 你们就必活着.

8:14 For all those who are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
因为蒙神的灵引导的, 都是神的儿子.

8:15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
你们接受的, 不是奴仆的灵, 使你们仍旧惧怕; 你们接受的, 是使人成为嗣子的灵, 使我们呼叫“阿爸,父”.

8:16 The Spirit himself confirms to our spirit that we are children of God,
圣灵亲自和我们的灵一同证明我们是神的儿女.

8:17 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together with him so that we may also be glorified together with him.
既然是儿女, 就是后嗣; 是神的后嗣, 也和基督一同作后嗣. 我们既然和他一同受苦, 就必和他一同得荣耀.

8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us.
我看现在的苦难, 与将要向我们显出的荣耀, 是无法相比的.

8:19 For the eagerly expecting creation awaits eagerly the revelation of the sons of God.
被造的万物都热切渴望神的众子显现出来.

8:20 For the creation has been subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
因为被造的万物服在虚空之下, 不是自己愿意这样, 而是由于使它屈服的那一位;

8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its servility to decay, into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
被造的万物盼望自己得着释放, 脱离败坏的奴役, 得着神儿女荣耀的自由.

8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans together and suffers agony together until now.
我们知道被造的万物直到现在都一同在痛苦呻吟.

8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves while we await eagerly our adoption, the redemption of our body.
不但这样, 连我们这些有圣灵作为初熟果子的人, 自己也在内心叹息, 热切期待成为嗣子, 就是我们的身体得赎.

8:24 For in hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees?
我们得救时就存着这盼望; 但是看得见的盼望不是盼望, 因为谁会盼望自己看见了的呢?

8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we await it eagerly with patient endurance.
但如果我们盼望没有看见的, 就会耐心地热切期待.

8:26 And likewise also, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as one ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with unexpressed groanings.
照样, 圣灵也在我们的软弱上帮助我们. 原来我们不晓得应当怎样祷告, 但圣灵亲自用不可言喻的叹息, 替我们祈求.

8:27 And the one who searches our hearts knows what the mindset of the Spirit is, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints according to the will of God.
那鉴察人心的, 晓得圣灵的心意, 因为圣灵照着神的旨意替圣徒祈求.

8:28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose,
我们知道, 为了爱神的人, 就是按他旨意蒙召的人的益处, 万事都一同效力.

8:29 because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brothers.
因为神预先知道的人, 他就预先命定他们和他儿子的形象一模一样, 使他的儿子在许多弟兄中作长子,

8:30 And those whom he predestined, these he also called, and those whom he called, these he also justified, and those whom he justified, these he also glorified.
他预先命定的人, 又呼召他们; 所召来的人, 又称他们为义; 所称为义的人, 又使他们得荣耀.

8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
既是这样, 我们对这一切还有什么话说呢? 神若这样为我们, 谁能敌对我们呢?

8:32 Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, together with him, freely give us all things?
他连自己的儿子都舍得, 为我们众人把他交出来, 难道不也把万有和他一同白白地赐给我们吗?

8:33 Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies.
谁能控告神拣选的人呢? 有神称我们为义了.

8:34 Who is the one who condemns? Christ is the one who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
谁能定我们的罪呢? 有基督耶稣死了, 而且复活了, 现今在神的右边, 也替我们祈求.

8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword?
谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢? 是患难吗? 是困苦吗? 是迫害吗? 是饥饿吗? 是赤身露体吗? 是危险吗? 是刀剑吗?

8:36 Just as it is written, “On account of you we are being put to death the whole day long; we are considered as sheep for slaughter.”
正如经上所记: “为你的缘故, 我们终日面对死亡, 人看我们像待宰的羊. ”

8:37 No, but in all these things we prevail completely through the one who loved us.
但靠着爱我们的那一位, 我们在这一切事上就得胜有余了.

8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
因为我深信: 无论是死,是生, 是天使,是掌权的, 是现在的事, 是将来的事, 是有能力的,

8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
是高天的,是深渊的, 或是任何别的被造之物, 都不能叫我们与神的爱隔绝, 这爱是在我们的主耶稣基督里的.

Romans - Chapter 9

9:1 I am telling the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears witness to me in the Holy Spirit—
我在基督里说的是实话, 并没有撒谎, 因为我的良心在圣灵里一同为我作证;

9:2 that my grief is great and there is constant distress in my heart.
我大大忧愁, 心里常常伤痛.

9:3 For I could wish myself to be accursed from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my fellow countrymen according to the flesh,
为我的同胞, 就是我骨肉之亲, 就算自己受咒诅, 与基督隔绝, 我也甘心.

9:4 who are Israelites, to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the temple service, and the promises,
他们是以色列人: 嗣子的名分,荣耀,众约,律法,敬拜的礼仪和各样的应许, 都是他们的.

9:5 to whom belong the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ according to human descent, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen.
蒙拣选的列祖也是他们的祖宗; 按肉身来说, 基督也是出自他们这一族. 其实, 他是在万有之上, 永远受称颂的神. 阿们.

9:6 But it is not as if the word of God had failed. For not all those who are descended from Israel are truly Israel,
当然, 这不是说神的话落了空, 因为出自以色列的, 不都是以色列人;

9:7 nor are they all children because they are descendants of Abraham, but “In Isaac will your descendants be named.”
也不因为他们是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 就都成为他的儿女, 只有“以撒生的, 才可以称为你的后裔”,

9:8 That is, it is not the children by human descent who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
这就是说, 肉身生的儿女并不是神的儿女, 只有凭着应许生的儿女才算是后裔.

9:9 For the statement of the promise is this: “At this time I will return and Sarah will have a son.”
因为所应许的话是这样: “明年这个时候我要来, 撒拉必定生一个儿子. ”

9:10 And not only this, but also when Rebecca conceived children by one man, Isaac our father—
不但如此, 利百加也是这样: 既然从一个人, 就是从我们的祖宗以撒怀了孕,

9:11 for although they had not yet been born, or done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to election might remain,
双生子还没有生下来, 善恶也没有行出来(为要坚定神拣选人的旨意,

9:12 not by works but by the one who calls—it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger,”
不是由于行为, 而是由于那呼召者), 神就对她说: “将来大的要服事小的. ”

9:13 just as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
正如经上所记的: “我爱雅各, 却恶以扫. ”

9:14 What then shall we say? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!
既是这样, 我们可以说什么呢? 神不公平吗? 绝对不会!

9:15 For to Moses he says, “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”
因为他对摩西说: “我要怜悯谁, 就怜悯谁; 我要恩待谁, 就恩待谁. ”

9:16 Consequently therefore, it does not depend on the one who wills or on the one who runs, but on God who shows mercy.
这样看来, 既不是出于人意, 也不是由于人为, 只在于那怜悯人的神.

9:17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very reason I have raised you up, so that I may demonstrate my power in you, and so that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
经上有话对法老说: “我把你兴起来, 是要借着你显出我的大能, 并且使我的名传遍全地. ”

9:18 Consequently therefore, he has mercy on whomever he wishes, and he hardens whomever he wishes.
这样看来, 他愿意怜悯谁就怜悯谁, 愿意谁刚硬就使谁刚硬.

9:19 Therefore you will say to me, “Why then does he still find fault? For who has resisted his will?
这样, 你会对我说: “那么他为什么责怪人呢? 有谁抗拒他的旨意呢? ”

9:20 On the contrary, O man, who are you who answers back to God? Will what is molded say to the one who molded it, “Why did you make me like this”?
你这个人哪, 你是谁, 竟敢跟神顶嘴呢? 被造的怎么可以对造他的说: “你为什么把我做成这个样子呢? ”

9:21 Or does the potter not have authority over the clay, to make from the same lump a vessel that is for honorable use and one that is for ordinary use?
陶匠难道没有权用同一团的泥, 又做贵重的,又做卑贱的器皿吗?

9:22 And what if God, wanting to demonstrate his wrath and to make known his power, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?
如果神有意要显明他的忿怒, 彰显他的大能, 而多多容忍那可怒,预备遭毁灭的器皿,

9:23 And he did so in order that he could make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy that he prepared beforehand for glory,
为了要使他丰盛的荣耀, 彰显在那蒙恩,早已预备要得荣耀的器皿上, 这又有什么不可呢?

9:24 us whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
这器皿就是我们这些不但从犹太人中, 也从外族人中蒙召的人.

9:25 As he also says in Hosea, “I will call those who were not my people, ‘My people,’ and those who were not loved, ‘Loved.’
就如神在何西阿书上说的: “我要称那不是我子民的为我的子民, 那不蒙爱的为蒙爱的;

9:26 And it will be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’ ”
从前在什么地方对他们说: 你们不是我的子民, 将来就在那里称他们为永活神的儿子. ”

9:27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Even if the number of the sons of Israel is like the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved,
以赛亚指着以色列人大声说: “以色列子孙的数目虽然多如海沙, 得救的不过是剩下的余数;

9:28 for the Lord will execute his sentence thoroughly and decisively upon the earth.”
因为主必在地上迅速而彻底地成就他的话. ”

9:29 And just as Isaiah foretold, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom and would have resembled Gomorrah.”
又如以赛亚早已说过的: “如果不是万军之主给我们存留后裔, 我们早就像所多玛和蛾摩拉一样了. ”

9:30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness—even the righteousness that is by faith.
既是这样, 我们还有什么可说的呢? 那不追求义的外族人却得了义, 就是因信而得的义.

9:31 But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, did not attain to the law.
但以色列人追求律法的义(“律法的义”原文作“义的律法”), 却达不到律法的要求.

9:32 Why that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if by works. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble,
这是什么缘故呢? 因为他们不凭信心, 只靠行为. 他们绊倒在那绊脚石上,

9:33 just as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble, and a rock that causes them to fall, and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
正如经上所记: “看哪, 我在锡安放了一块绊脚石, 是绊倒人的磐石; 信靠他的人, 必不致失望. ”

Romans - Chapter 10

10:1 Brothers, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God on behalf of them is for their salvation.
弟兄们, 我心里切切盼望的, 并且为以色列人向神祈求的, 是要他们得救.

10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
我可以为他们作证, 他们对神有热心, 但不是按着真见识;

10:3 For ignoring the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
他们既然不明白神的义, 而又企图建立自己的义, 就不服神的义了.

10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
因为律法的终极就是基督, 使所有信的人都得着义.

10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: “The person who does this will live by it.”
论到出于律法的义, 摩西写着说: “遵行这些事的人就必因这些事而活. ”

10:6 But the righteousness from faith speaks like this: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down),
但那出于信心的义却这样说: “你心里不要说: ‘谁要升到天上去呢? ’(就是要把基督领下来, )

10:7 or “Who will descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
或是说: ‘谁要下到深渊去呢? ’(就是要把基督从死人中领上来. )”

10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim),
然而那出于信心的义还说什么呢? ”这话与你相近, 在你口里, 也在你心里. ”这话就是我们所传信心的信息.

10:9 that if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
你若口里认耶稣为主, 心里信神使他从死人中复活, 就必得救;

10:10 For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
因为心里相信就必称义, 用口承认就必得救.

10:11 For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
经上说: “所有信靠他的人, 必不致失望. ”

10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who is rich to all who call upon him.
其实并不分犹太人和希腊人, 因为大家同有一位主; 他厚待所有求告他的人,

10:13 For “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”
因为“凡求告主名的, 都必得救. ”

10:14 How then will they call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him about whom they have not heard? And how will they hear about him without one who preaches to them?
然而, 人还没有信他, 怎能求告他呢? 没有听见他, 怎能信他呢? 没有人传扬, 怎能听见呢?

10:15 And how will they preach, unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How timely are the feet of those who bring good news of good things.”
如果没有蒙差遣, 怎能传扬呢? 如经上所记: “那些传美事报喜讯的人, 他们的脚踪多么美! ”

10:16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
但并不是所有的人都顺从福音, 因为以赛亚说: “主啊, 我们所传的, 有谁信呢? ”

10:17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word about Christ.
可见信心是从所听的道来的, 所听的道是借着基督的话来的.

10:18 But I say, they have not heard, have they? On the contrary, “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.”
但是我要说, 他们没有听见吗? 他们的确听见了, 如经上所记: “他们的声音传遍全地, 他们的言语传到地极. ”

10:19 But I say, Israel did not know, did they? First, Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation; by a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.”
我再说: 以色列人真的不明白吗? 首先, 摩西说: “我要使你们对那不是子民的生嫉妒, 对那无知的民族起忿怒. ”

10:20 And Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I became known to those who did not ask for me.”
后来, 以赛亚也放胆地说: “没有寻找我的, 我让他们找到; 没有求问我的, 我向他们显现. ”

10:21 But about Israel he says, “The whole day long I held out my hands to a disobedient and resistant people.”
论到以色列人, 他却说: “我整天向那悖逆顶嘴的子民伸开双手. ”

Romans - Chapter 11

11:1 Therefore I say, God has not rejected his people, has he? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, from the descendants of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
那么我要说, 难道神丢弃了他的子民吗? 绝对没有! 因为我自己也是以色列人, 是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 属于便雅悯支派的.

11:2 God has not rejected his people, whom he foreknew! Or do you not know, in the passage about Elijah, what the scripture says—how he appeals to God against Israel?
神并没有丢弃他预先知道的子民. 难道你们不知道在经上以利亚的话是怎样说的吗? 他向神控诉以色列人:

11:3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life!”
“主啊, 他们杀了你的众先知, 拆毁了你的祭坛, 只剩下我一个人, 他们还在寻索我的性命. ”

11:4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have left for myself seven thousand people who have not bent the knee to Baal.”
但神怎样回答他呢? ”我为自己留下了七千人, 是没有向巴力屈膝的. ”

11:5 So in this way also at the present time, there is a remnant selected by grace.
因此, 现在也是这样, 按着恩典的拣选, 还有剩下的余数.

11:6 But if by grace, it is no longer by works, for otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
既然是靠着恩典, 就不再是由于行为了; 不然的话, 恩典就不再是恩典了.

11:7 What then? What Israel was searching for, this it did not obtain. But the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened,
那又怎么样呢? 以色列人恳切寻找的, 他们没有得到, 蒙拣选的人倒得着了. 其余的人都成了顽固的,

11:8 just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, until this very day.”
正如经上所记: “神给了他们麻木的灵, 有眼睛却看不见, 有耳朵却听不到, 直到今日. ”

11:9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, and a cause for stumbling and a retribution to them;
大卫也说: “愿他们的筵席成为他们的网罗,陷阱,绊脚石和报应;

11:10 let their eyes be darkened so that they do not see, and cause their backs to bend continually.”
愿他们的眼睛昏暗, 不能看见; 愿他们的背脊常常弯曲. ”

11:11 I say then, they did not stumble so that they fell, did they? May it never be! But by their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
那么我要说, 他们失足是要倒下去吗? 绝对不是! 反而因为他们的过犯, 救恩就临到外族人, 为了要激起他们奋发.

11:12 And if their trespass means riches for the world and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean?
既然他们的过犯可以使世人富足, 他们的失败可以使外族人富足, 何况他们的丰盛呢?

11:13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Therefore, inasmuch as I am apostle to the Gentiles, I promote my ministry,
我现在对你们外族人说话, 因为我是外族人的使徒, 所以尊重我的职分,

11:14 if somehow I may provoke my people to jealousy and save some of them.
这样也许可以激起我骨肉之亲奋发, 使他们中间有一些人得救.

11:15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean except life from the dead?
如果他们被舍弃, 世人就可以与神复和; 他们蒙接纳, 不就等于从死人中复活吗?

11:16 Now if the first fruits are holy, so also is the whole batch of dough, and if the root is holy, so also are the branches.
如果首先献上的生面是圣的, 整团面也是圣的; 如果树根是圣的, 树枝也是圣的.

11:17 Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although you were a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a sharer of the root of the olive tree’s richness,
如果把几根树枝折下来, 让你这野橄榄可以接上去, 一同分享那橄榄树根的汁浆,

11:18 do not boast against the branches. But if you boast against them, you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
你就不可向那些树枝夸口. 你若要夸口, 就应当想想: 不是你支持着树根, 而是树根支持着你.

11:19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off in order that I could be grafted in.”
那么你会说, 那些树枝被折下来, 就是要把我接上去.

11:20 Well said! They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand firm because of faith. Do not think arrogant thoughts, but be afraid.
不错, 他们因为不信而被折下来, 你因着信才站立得住. 只是不可心高气傲, 倒要存畏惧的心.

11:21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
神既然不顾惜那本来的树枝, 也不会顾惜你.

11:22 See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity upon those who have fallen, but upon you the kindness of God—if you continue in his kindness, for otherwise you also will be cut off.
所以要留意神的恩慈和严厉: 对跌倒的人, 他是严厉的; 对你, 只要你继续在他的恩慈里, 他是恩慈的; 不然的话, 你也会被砍下来.

11:23 And those also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God is able to graft them in again.
至于他们, 如果不是继续不信, 他们仍然会被接上去, 因为神能够把他们再接上去.

11:24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?
你这从野生的橄榄树上砍下来的, 尚且可以不自然地接在栽种的橄榄树上, 那些本来就有的树枝, 不是更能够接在原来的橄榄树上吗?

11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you will not be wise in your own sight, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
弟兄们, 我不愿意你们对这奥秘一无所知, 免得你们自以为聪明. 这奥秘就是以色列人当中有一部分是硬心的, 直到外族人的全数满了;

11:26 and so all Israel will be saved, just as it is written, “The deliverer will come out of Zion; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
这样, 全以色列都要得救, 如经上所记: “拯救者必从锡安出来, 除掉雅各家的不敬虔的心;

11:27 And this is the covenant from me with them when I take away their sins.”
我除去他们罪恶的时候, 就与他们立这样的约. ”

11:28 With respect to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake, but with respect to election, they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.
就福音来说, 因你们的缘故, 他们是仇敌; 就拣选来说, 因祖宗的缘故, 他们是蒙爱的.

11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
因为神的恩赏和呼召是决不会反悔的.

11:30 For just as you formerly were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of the disobedience of these,
正如你们从前不顺服神, 现在却因着他们的不顺服, 你们倒蒙了怜悯;

11:31 so also these have now been disobedient for your mercy, in order that they also may now be shown mercy.
照样, 他们因着你们所蒙的怜悯, 现在也不顺服, 使他们现在也可以蒙怜悯.

11:32 For God confined them all in disobedience, in order that he could have mercy on them all.
因为神把所有的人都圈在不顺服之中, 为了要怜悯所有的人.

11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how incomprehensible are his ways!
神的丰富,智慧和知识, 是多么高深啊! 他的判断是多么难测, 他的道路是多么难寻!

11:34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?
“谁知道主的心意, 谁作过他的参谋? ”

11:35 Or who has given in advance to him, and it will be paid back to him?”
“谁先给了他, 以致他要偿还呢? ”

11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for eternity! Amen.
因为万有都是本于他, 倚靠他, 归于他. 愿荣耀归给他, 直到永远. 阿们.

Romans - Chapter 12

12:1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers, through the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.
所以弟兄们, 我凭着神的仁慈劝你们, 要把身体献上, 作圣洁而蒙神悦纳的活祭; 这是你们理所当然的事奉.

12:2 And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may approve what is the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God.
不要模仿这个世代, 倒要借着心意的更新而改变过来, 使你们可以察验出什么是神的旨意, 就是察验出什么是美好的,蒙他悦纳的和完全的事.

12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone who is among you not to think more highly of yourself than what one ought to think, but to think sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each one.
我凭着所赐给我的恩典, 对你们各人说, 不可自视太高, 高于所当看的, 反而应该照着神分给各人信心的大小, 看得适中.

12:4 For just as in one body we have many members, but all the members do not have the same function,
就像一个身体有许多肢体, 各肢体都有不同的功用;

12:5 in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
照样, 我们大家在基督里成为一个身体, 也是互相作肢体.

12:6 but having different gifts according to the grace given to us: if it is prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;
照着所赐给我们的恩典, 我们各有不同的恩赐: 说预言的, 就应当照着信心的程度去说;

12:7 if it is service, by service; if it is one who teaches, by teaching;
服事人的, 就应当照着恩赐去服事; 教导的, 就应当照着恩赐教导;

12:8 if it is one who exhorts, by exhortation; one who gives, with sincerity; one who leads, with diligence; one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
劝慰的, 就应当照着恩赐劝慰; 把财物分给人的要真诚; 领导的要殷勤; 行善的要乐意.

12:9 Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; be attached to what is good,
爱, 不可虚伪; 恶, 要厌恶; 善, 要持守.

12:10 being devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another more highly in honor,
要以手足之爱彼此相亲, 用恭敬的心互相礼让.

12:11 not lagging in diligence, being enthusiastic in spirit, serving the Lord,
殷勤不可懒惰, 心灵要火热, 常常服事主;

12:12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in affliction, being devoted to prayer,
在盼望中要喜乐, 在患难中要坚忍, 祷告要恒切.

12:13 contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
圣徒有缺乏的, 就要接济; 客旅要热诚地款待.

12:14 Bless those who persecute, bless and do not curse them.
迫害你们的, 要为他们祝福; 只可祝福, 不可咒诅.

12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
要与喜乐的人一同喜乐, 与哀哭的人一同哀哭.

12:16 Think the same thing toward one another; do not think arrogantly, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own sight.
要彼此同心, 不可心高气傲, 倒要俯就卑微的. 不可自以为聪明.

12:17 Pay back no one evil for evil. Take thought for what is good in the sight of all people.
不可以恶报恶. 大家以为美的事, 要努力去作.

12:18 If it is possible on your part, be at peace with all people.
可能的话, 总要尽你们的所能与人和睦.

12:19 Do not take revenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
亲爱的啊, 不要为自己伸冤, 宁可等候主的忿怒, 因为经上记着, 主说: “伸冤在我, 我必报应. ”

12:20 But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this, you will heap up coals of fire upon his head.”
相反地, “如果你的仇敌饿了, 就给他吃; 如果渴了, 就给他喝. 因为你这样作, 就是把炭火堆在他的头上. ”

12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
不可被恶所胜, 反要以善胜恶.

Romans - Chapter 13

13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except by God, and those that exist are put in place by God.
政府的权柄, 人人都应当服从. 因为没有一样权柄不是从神来的; 掌权的都是神设立的.

13:2 So then, the one who resists authority resists the ordinance which is from God, and those who resist will receive condemnation on themselves.
所以抗拒掌权的, 就是反对神所设立的; 反对的人必自招刑罚.

13:3 For rulers are not a cause of terror for a good deed, but for bad conduct. So do you want not to be afraid of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from it,
执政的不是要使行善的惧怕, 而是要使作恶的惧怕. 你想不怕掌权的吗? 只要行善, 就会得到称赞;

13:4 for it is God’s servant to you for what is good. But if you do what is bad, be afraid, because it does not bear the sword to no purpose. For it is God’s servant, the one who avenges for punishment on the one who does what is bad.
因为他是神的仆役, 是对你有益的. 但如果你作恶, 就应当惧怕; 因为他佩剑, 不是没有作用的. 他是神的仆役, 是向作恶的人施行刑罚的.

13:5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.
所以你们必须服从, 不但是为了刑罚, 也是因为良心的缘故.

13:6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are servants of God, busily engaged in this very thing.
因此, 你们也当纳税, 因为他们是神的差役, 专责处理这事的.

13:7 Pay to everyone what is owed: pay taxes to whom taxes are due; pay customs duties to whom customs duties are due; pay respect to whom respect is due; pay honor to whom honor is due.
你们要向各人清还所欠的; 应当纳税的, 就要给他纳税; 应当进贡的, 就给他进贡; 应当敬畏的, 就敬畏他; 应当尊敬的, 就尊敬他.

13:8 Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for the one who loves someone else has fulfilled the law.
不要欠人的债; 但在彼此相爱的事上, 要觉得是欠了人的债. 爱别人的, 就成全了律法.

13:9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are summed up in this statement: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
那“不可奸淫, 不可杀人, 不可偷盗, 不可贪心”等等的诫命, 都包括在“爱人如己”这一句话里面了.

13:10 Love does not commit evil against a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
爱是不加害于人的, 所以爱是成全律法的.

13:11 And do this because you know the time, that it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we believed.
还有, 你们知道这是什么时期了, 现在正是你们应该睡醒的时候, 因为我们得救, 现在比初信的时候更加接近了.

13:12 The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near. Therefore let us throw off the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light.
黑夜已深, 白昼近了, 所以我们要除掉暗昧的行为, 带上光明的武器.

13:13 Let us live decently, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.
行事为人要光明磊落, 好像行在白昼. 不可荒宴醉酒, 不可放荡纵欲, 不可纷争嫉妒.

13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make provision for the desires of the flesh.
总要披戴主耶稣基督, 不要为肉体安排, 去放纵私欲.

Romans - Chapter 14

14:1 Now receive the one who is weak in faith, but not for quarrels about opinions.
你们要接纳信心软弱的人, 不要论断引起争论的事.

14:2 One believes he may eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
有人相信所有的食物都可以吃, 信心软弱的人却只吃蔬菜.

14:3 The one who eats must not despise the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat must not judge the one who eats, because God has accepted him.
吃的人不要轻看不吃的人, 不吃的人也不要批评吃的人, 因为神已经接纳他了.

14:4 Who are you, who passes judgment on the domestic slave belonging to someone else? To his own master he stands or falls, and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
你是谁, 竟然批评别人的家仆呢? 他或站稳或跌倒, 只和自己的主人有关; 但他必定站稳, 因为主能够使他站稳.

14:5 One person prefers one day over another day, and another person regards every day alike. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.
有人认为这日比那日好, 也有人认为日日都是一样; 只要各人自己心意坚定就可以了.

14:6 The one who is intent on the day is intent on it for the Lord, and the one who eats eats for the Lord, because he is thankful to God, and the one who does not eat does not eat for the Lord, and he is thankful to God.
守日的人是为主守的, 吃的人是为主吃的, 因为他感谢神; 不吃的人是为主不吃, 他也感谢神.

14:7 For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself.
我们没有一个人为自己活, 也没有一个人为自己死. 我们若活着, 是为主而活;

14:8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
我们若死了, 是为主而死. 所以, 我们无论活着或是死了, 总是属于主的人.

14:9 For Christ died and became alive again for this reason, in order that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
为了这缘故, 基督死了, 又活过来, 就是要作死人和活人的主.

14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or also, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
这样, 你为什么批评你的弟兄呢? 为什么又轻看你的弟兄呢? 我们都要站在神的审判台前;

14:11 For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God.”
因为经上记着: “主说, 我指着我的永生起誓: 万膝必向我跪拜, 万口必称颂神. ”

14:12 So each one of us will give an account concerning himself.
这样看来, 我们各人都要把自己的事向神交代.

14:13 Therefore, let us no longer pass judgment on one another, but rather decide this: not to place a cause for stumbling or a temptation before a brother.
所以, 我们不要再彼此批评了; 倒要立定主意, 决不作绊倒弟兄或使他跌倒的事.

14:14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself, except to the one who considers something to be unclean; to that person it is unclean.
我知道, 并且在主耶稣里深信, 没有一样东西的本身是不洁的, 但如果有人认为是不洁的, 对他来说那东西就成为不洁了.

14:15 For if because of food, your brother is grieved, you are no longer living according to love. Do not destroy by your food that person for whom Christ died.
如果你为了食物使你的弟兄忧愁, 你就不再是凭着爱心行事了. 你不可因着你的食物, 使基督已经替他死了的人灭亡.

14:16 Therefore do not let your good be slandered.
所以, 不可使你们看为好的被人毁谤;

14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
因为神的国不在于吃喝, 而在于公义,和睦, 以及圣灵里的喜乐.

14:18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is well-pleasing to God and approved by people.
这样服事基督的人, 必蒙神喜悦, 又得众人嘉许.

14:19 So then, let us pursue what promotes peace and what edifies one another.
所以, 我们总要追求和睦的事, 与彼此造就的事.

14:20 Do not destroy the work of God on account of food. All things are clean, but it is wrong for the person who eats and stumbles in the process.
不可因食物的缘故拆毁神的工作. 一切都是洁净的, 但人若因食物绊倒弟兄, 对他来说, 这就是恶事了.

14:21 It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine or to do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is weakened.
无论是吃肉, 是喝酒, 或是什么使你的弟兄跌倒的事, 一律不要作才好.

14:22 The faith that you have, have with respect to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not pass judgment on himself by what he approves.
你所信的, 你自己要在神面前持守. 人在经自己考验后认可的事上能够不自责, 他就有福了.

14:23 But the one who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and everything that is not from faith is sin.
但如果有人存着疑惑的心去吃, 他就被定罪了, 因为他不是出于信心. 凡不是出于信心的, 都是罪.

Romans - Chapter 15

15:1 But we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
我们坚强的人, 应该担当不坚强的人的软弱, 不应该求自己的喜悦.

15:2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for his good, for the purpose of edification.
我们各人务要叫邻舍喜悦, 好让他得到益处,得到造就.

15:3 For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
因为连基督也不求自己的喜悦; 反而像经上所记的: “辱骂你的人的辱骂, 都落在我的身上. ”

15:4 For whatever was written beforehand was written for our instruction, in order that through patient endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope.
从前经上所写的, 都是为教训我们而写的, 好使我们借着忍耐和圣经中的安慰得着盼望.

15:5 Now may the God of patient endurance and of encouragement grant you to be in agreement with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus,
愿赐忍耐和安慰的神, 使你们彼此同心, 效法基督耶稣,

15:6 so that with one mind you may glorify with one mouth the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
同心一致地荣耀我们主耶稣基督的父神.

15:7 Therefore accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, to the glory of God.
因此, 你们应当彼此接纳, 就像基督接纳了你们一样, 使荣耀归于神.

15:8 For I say, Christ has become a servant of the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,
我说, 基督为了神的真理, 成了受割礼的人的仆人, 为的是要证实对祖先的应许,

15:9 and that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, just as it is written, “Because of this, I will praise you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praise to your name.”
使外族人因着所蒙的怜悯荣耀神; 如经上所记: “因此我要在列邦中称赞你, 歌颂你的名. ”

15:10 And again it says, “Rejoice, Gentiles, with his people.”
又说: “列邦啊, 当与他的子民一同快乐. ”

15:11 And again, “Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”
又说: “万国啊, 你们当赞美主; 愿万民都颂赞他. ”

15:12 And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
以赛亚也说: “将来必有耶西的根, 就是那兴起来治理列邦的; 列邦都寄望于他. ”

15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
愿那赐盼望的神, 因着你们的信, 把一切喜乐平安充满你们, 使你们靠着圣灵的大能满有盼望.

15:14 Now I myself also am convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another.
我的弟兄们, 我个人深信你们自己也满有良善, 充满丰富的知识, 也能够彼此劝导.

15:15 But I have written to you more boldly on some points, so as to remind you again because of the grace that has been given to me by God,
但有些地方, 我写得稍为大胆一点, 是要提醒你们; 我因着神赐给我的恩典,

15:16 with the result that I am a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving the gospel of God as a priest, in order that the offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
为外族人作了基督耶稣的仆役, 作了神福音的祭司, 使所献上的外族人得蒙悦纳, 靠着圣灵成为圣洁.

15:17 Therefore I have a reason for boasting in Christ Jesus regarding the things concerning God.
所以, 在神的事上, 我在基督耶稣里倒有可以引以为荣的.

15:18 For I will not dare to speak about anything except that which Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,
别的我不敢说, 我只说基督借着我所作的事, 就是用言语行为, 借着神迹和奇事的大能, 以及圣灵的大能, 使外族人顺服; 这样, 我从耶路撒冷直到以利里古, 把基督的福音都传开了.

15:19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and traveling around as far as Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
别的我不敢说, 我只说基督借着我所作的事, 就是用言语行为, 借着神迹和奇事的大能, 以及圣灵的大能, 使外族人顺服; 这样, 我从耶路撒冷直到以利里古, 把基督的福音都传开了.

15:20 And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else,
我立定主意, 不在宣扬过基督的地方传福音, 免得建立在别人的根基上,

15:21 but just as it is written, “Those to whom it was not announced concerning him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
反而照经上所记: “那对他一无所闻的, 将要看见; 那没有听过的, 将要明白. ”

15:22 For this reason also I was hindered many times from coming to you,
因此, 我多次受到拦阻, 不能到你们那里去.

15:23 and now, no longer having a place in these regions, but having a desire for many years to come to you
但现在这一带再没有可传的地方, 而我多年来又很想去见你们,

15:24 whenever I travel to Spain. For I hope while I am passing through to see you and to be sent on my way by you, whenever I have first enjoyed your company for a while.
所以, 无论我什么时候到西班牙去, 都希望趁我路过时和你们见面, 先稍微满足我的心愿, 然后由你们给我送行到那里去.

15:25 But now I am traveling to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
不过, 我现在为了供应圣徒的事要往耶路撒冷去;

15:26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
因为马其顿和亚该亚人乐意捐了一些钱, 给耶路撒冷圣徒中的穷人.

15:27 For they were pleased to do so, and they are obligated to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in material things.
他们是乐意的, 而且那也是他们的本分(“本分”原文作“债”), 因为外族人既然分享了犹太人属灵的好处, 就应该供应他们肉身的需要.

15:28 Therefore, after I have accomplished this and sealed this fruit for delivery to them, I will depart by way of you for Spain,
等我办好这件事, 把这笔款项安全地交了给他们, 我就要路过你们那里到西班牙去.

15:29 and I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
我知道我到你们那里去的时候, 一定会带着基督丰盛的福分.

15:30 Now I exhort you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to contend along with me in your prayers on my behalf to God,
弟兄们, 我靠着我们的主耶稣基督, 凭着圣灵的慈爱, 劝你们和我一同竭力为我向神祈祷,

15:31 that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and my ministry in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
求神救我脱离犹太地不信从的人, 使我带到耶路撒冷的捐款, 可以得到圣徒的悦纳;

15:32 so that, coming to you with joy by the will of God, I may rest with you.
也使我照着神的旨意, 高高兴兴地到你们那里去, 好和你们一同得到安息.

15:33 Now may the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
愿赐平安的神与你们众人同在. 阿们.

Romans - Chapter 16

16:1 Now I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is also a servant of the church in Cenchrea,
我向你们推荐我们的姊妹非比; 她是坚革里教会的执事.

16:2 in order that you may welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever task she may have need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, even me myself.
请你们在主里用合乎圣徒身分的态度去接待她. 无论她在什么事上有需要, 请你们都帮助她; 因为她曾经帮助许多人, 也帮助了我.

问候在主里我亲爱的暗伯利.

16:9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys.

问候亚逊其都,弗勒干,赫米,百罗巴,赫马, 以及和他们在一起的弟兄们.

问候非罗罗哥和犹利亚, 尼利亚与他的姊妹和阿林巴, 以及同他们在一起的众圣徒.

16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
你们要用圣洁的亲嘴彼此问安. 基督的众教会都问候你们.

16:17 Now I exhort you, brothers, to look out for those who cause dissensions and temptations contrary to the teaching which you learned, and stay away from them.
弟兄们, 我劝你们要提防那些离间你们,绊倒你们,使你们违反你们所学的教义的人. 你们也要避开他们,

16:18 For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach, and by smooth speech and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
因为这样的人不服事我们的主基督, 只服事自己的肚腹, 用花言巧语欺骗老实人的心.

16:19 For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, and I want you to be wise toward what is good, but innocent toward what is evil.
你们的顺服已经名闻各处, 所以我为你们高兴. 我愿你们在善事上有智慧, 在恶事上毫不沾染.

愿荣耀借着耶稣基督, 归给独一全智的神, 直到永远. 阿们.

I Corinthians (歌林多前书)

I Corinthians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
奉神旨意蒙召作基督耶稣使徒的保罗, 和苏提尼弟兄,

1:2 to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth, called to be saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours.
写信给在哥林多神的教会, 就是在基督耶稣里已经被分别为圣, 蒙召为圣徒的人, 和所有在各地呼求我们主耶稣基督的名的人. 基督是他们的主, 也是我们的主.

1:3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督临到你们.

1:4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus,
我因着神在基督耶稣里赐给你们的恩典, 常常为你们感谢我的神,

1:5 that in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge,
因为你们在他里面凡事都富足, 很有口才, 知识丰富,

1:6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you,
就如我们为基督所作的见证在你们中间得到坚立一样,

1:7 so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
以致你们在恩赐上一无所缺, 殷切盼望着我们主耶稣基督的显现;

1:8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
他也必坚定你们到底, 使你们在我们主耶稣基督的日子无可指摘.

1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called to fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
神是信实的, 他呼召了你们, 是要你们与他的儿子我们主耶稣基督连合在一起.

1:10 Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same thing and there not be divisions among you, and that you be made complete in the same mind and with the same purpose.
弟兄们, 我凭着我们主耶稣基督的名, 劝你们大家要同心, 在你们中间不要分党, 只要在同一的心思,同一的意念上团结起来.

1:11 For it has been made clear to me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you.
我的弟兄们, 革来氏家里的人向我提到你们, 说你们中间有纷争.

1:12 But I say this, that each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” and “I am with Apollos,” and “I am with Cephas,” and “I am with Christ.”
我的意思就是, 你们各人说, 我是保罗派的, 我是亚波罗派的, 我是矶法派的, 我是基督派的.

1:13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
基督是分开的吗? 保罗为你们钉了十字架吗? 你们受洗是归入保罗的名下吗?

1:14 I give thanks that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
我感谢神, 除了基利司布和该犹以外, 我没有给你们任何人施过洗,

1:15 lest anyone should say that you were baptized in my name.
所以你们没有人可以说是受洗归入我名下的.

1:16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.)
我也给司提反一家的人施过洗; 此外, 有没有给别人施过洗, 我就不记得了.

1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, not with clever speech, lest the cross of Christ be emptied.
基督差遣我, 不是要我去施洗, 而是去传福音; 不是靠着智慧的言论去传, 免得基督的十字架失去了效力.

1:18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
因为十字架的道理, 对走向灭亡的人来说是愚笨的, 但对我们这些得救的人, 却是神的大能.

1:19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will confound.”
因为经上记着说: “我要灭绝智慧人的智慧, 废弃聪明人的聪明. ”

1:20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
智慧人在哪里? 经学家在哪里? 今世的辩士在哪里? 神不是使属世的智慧变成了愚笨吗?

1:21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
因为在神的智慧里, 世人凭自己的智慧, 既然不能认识神, 神就乐意借着所传的愚笨的道理, 去拯救那些信的人.

1:22 For indeed, Jews ask for sign miracles and Greeks seek wisdom,
犹太人要求神迹, 希腊人寻找智慧,

1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a cause for stumbling, but to the Gentiles foolishness,
我们却传扬钉十字架的基督; 在犹太人看来是绊脚石, 在外族人看来是愚笨的,

1:24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
但对那些蒙召的人, 不论是犹太人或希腊人, 基督是神的能力, 神的智慧.

1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
因为神的愚笨总比人智慧, 神的软弱总比人刚强.

1:26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to human standards, not many were powerful, not many were well born.
弟兄们, 你们想想, 你们这些蒙召的, 按人来看有智慧的不多, 有权势的不多, 出身尊贵的也不多.

1:27 But the foolish things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong,
但是神却拣选了世上愚笨的, 使那些有智慧的羞愧. 他也拣选了世上软弱的, 使那些刚强的羞愧.

1:28 and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are,
他也拣选了世上卑贱的和被人轻视的, 以及算不得什么的, 为了要废弃那些自以为是的,

1:29 so that all flesh may not boast before God.
使所有的人在神面前都不能自夸.

1:30 But from him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
你们因着神得以在基督耶稣里, 他使基督成了我们的智慧; 就是公义,圣洁和救赎,

1:31 so that, just as it is written, “The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
正如经上所说的: “夸口的应当靠着主夸口. ”

I Corinthians - Chapter 2

2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
弟兄们, 我从前到你们那里去, 并没有用高言大智向你们传讲神的奥秘.

2:2 For I decided not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
因为我曾立定主意, 在你们中间什么都不想知道, 只知道耶稣基督和他钉十字架的事.

2:3 And I came to you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling,
我在你们那里的时候, 又软弱又惧怕, 而且战战兢兢;

2:4 and my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasiveness of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and power,
我说的话,讲的道, 都不是用智慧的话去说服人, 而是用圣灵和能力来证明,

2:5 in order that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
使你们的信不是凭着人的智慧, 而是凭着神的能力.

2:6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing,
然而在信心成熟的人中间, 我们也讲智慧, 但不是这世代的智慧, 也不是这世代将要灭亡的执政者的智慧.

2:7 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory,
我们所讲的, 是从前隐藏的,神奥秘的智慧, 就是神在万世以前, 为我们的荣耀所预定的;

2:8 which none of the rulers of this age knew. For if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
这智慧, 这世代执政的人没有一个知道, 如果他们知道, 就不会把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了.

2:9 But just as it is written, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and have not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him.”
正如经上所记: “神为爱他的人所预备的, 是眼睛未曾见过, 耳朵未曾听过, 人心也未曾想到的. ”

2:10 For to us God has revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
但神却借着圣灵把这些向我们显明了, 因为圣灵测透万事, 连神深奥的事也测透了.

2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? Thus also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
除了在人里面的灵, 谁能知道人的事呢? 同样, 除了神的灵, 也没有人知道神的事.

2:12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, in order that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
我们所领受的, 不是这世界的灵, 而是从神来的灵, 使我们能知道神开恩赐给我们的事.

2:13 things which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.
我们也讲这些事, 不是用人的智慧所教的言语, 而是用圣灵所教的言语, 向属灵的人解释属灵的事(“向属灵的人解释属灵的事”或译: “用属灵的话解释属灵的事”).

2:14 But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
然而属血气的人不接受神的灵的事, 因为他以为是愚笨的; 而且他也不能够明白, 因为这些事, 要有属灵的眼光才能领悟.

2:15 Now the spiritual person discerns all things, but he himself is judged by no one.
属灵的人能看透万事, 却没有人能看透他,

2:16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord; who has advised him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
如经上所记: “谁曾知道主的心意, 能够指教他呢? ”但我们已经得着基督的心意了.

I Corinthians - Chapter 3

3:1 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual people, but as to fleshly people, as to infants in Christ.
弟兄们, 我从前对你们说话, 还不能把你们看作属灵的人, 只能看作属肉体的, 看作在基督里的婴孩.

3:2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able to eat it. But now you are still not able,
我喂给你们吃的是奶, 不是饭, 因为那时你们不能吃, 就是现在还是不能,

3:3 for you are still fleshly. For where there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and do you not live like unregenerate people?
因为你们仍然是属肉体的. 在你们当中既然有嫉妒纷争, 你们不还是属肉体, 照着世人的方式而行吗?

3:4 For whenever anyone says, “I am with Paul,” and another, “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human?
有人说“我是保罗派的”, 又有人说“我是亚波罗派的”, 你们不是和世人一样吗?

3:5 Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave.
亚波罗算什么? 保罗算什么? 我们不过是神的仆人, 你们借着我们信了主; 按着主所赐给各人的,

3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing it to grow.
我栽种了, 亚波罗浇灌了, 唯有神使它生长.

3:7 So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who is causing it to grow.
所以, 栽种的算不得什么, 浇灌的也算不得什么, 只在乎那使它生长的神.

3:8 Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one, but each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
栽种的和浇灌的都是一样, 只是各人要照着自己的劳苦得着自己的报酬.

3:9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
我们是神的同工, 你们是神的田地, 神的房屋.

3:10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon it.
我照着神赐给我的恩典, 就像一个聪明的工程师, 立好了根基, 别人在上面建造. 各人要注意怎样在上面建造,

3:11 For no one is able to lay another foundation than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
因为除了那已经立好的根基以外, 没有人能立别的根基. 那根基就是耶稣基督.

3:12 Now if anyone builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
如果有人用金,银,宝石,草,木,禾秸, 在这根基上建造,

3:13 the work of each one will become evident. For the day will reveal it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the work of each one, of what sort it is.
各人的工程将来必要显露, 因为那日子必把它显明出来. 有火要把它显露出来, 那火要考验各人的工程是怎样的.

3:14 If anyone’s work that he has built upon it remains, he will receive a reward.
如果有人在这根基上建造的工程存得住, 他就要得到赏赐;

3:15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
如果有人的工程被烧毁, 他就要受亏损; 自己却要得救, 只是要像从火里经过一样.

3:16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
难道不知道你们是神的殿, 神的灵住在你们里面吗?

3:17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy this one. For God’s temple is holy, which you are.
如果有人毁坏神的殿, 神必要毁坏这人, 因为神的殿是圣洁的, 这殿就是你们.

3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks himself to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, in order that he may become wise.
谁也不要自欺. 如果你们当中有人以为自己在这世代里是有智慧的, 他就应该变为愚笨, 好让他有智慧.

3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written, “The one who catches the wise in their craftiness,”
因为这世界的智慧, 在神看来是愚笨的, 如经上所记: “他使有智慧的人中了自己的诡计. ”

3:20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
又说: “主知道智慧人的意念是虚妄的. ”

3:21 So then, let no one boast in people. For all things are yours,
所以, 谁都不可拿人来夸耀, 因为一切都是你们的.

3:22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all things are yours,
无论是保罗, 是亚波罗, 是矶法, 是世界, 是生, 是死, 是现在的事, 是将来的事, 都是你们的.

3:23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
你们是属基督的, 基督是属神的.

I Corinthians - Chapter 4

4:1 Thus let a person consider us as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries.
这样, 人应该把我们看作基督的仆人, 神奥秘的事的管家.

4:2 In this case, moreover, it is sought in stewards that one be found faithful.
对于管家的要求, 就是要他忠心.

4:3 But to me it is a very little matter that I be judged by you or by a human court, but I do not even judge myself.
我被你们论断, 或被人间法庭审判, 我都认为是极小的事, 连我自己也不论断自己.

4:4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, but not by this am I vindicated. But the one who judges me is the Lord.
我虽然问心无愧, 却不能因此自以为义, 因为判断我的是主.

4:5 Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord should come, who will both enlighten the hidden things of darkness and will reveal the counsels of hearts, and then praise will come to each one from God.
所以时候还没有到, 你们不要批评, 直等到主来; 他要照出黑暗中的隐情, 显明人心里的动机. 那时, 各人要从神那里得着称赞.

4:6 Now I have applied these things, brothers, to myself and Apollos for your sake, in order that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, lest someone be inflated with pride on behalf of one person against the other.
弟兄们, 我为你们的缘故, 拿了这些事来比拟自己和亚波罗, 让你们在我们身上学到的, 不会超过圣经所记的, 免得你们中间有人自高自大, 看重这个轻视那个.

4:7 For who concedes you superiority? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if indeed you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?
使你与人不同的是谁呢? 你有什么不是领受的呢? 既然是领受的, 为什么要自夸, 好像不是领受的呢?

4:8 Already you are satiated! Already you are rich! Apart from us you reign as kings! And would that indeed you reigned as kings, in order that we also might reign as kings with you!
你们已经满足了, 已经丰富了, 不需要我们, 自己作王了. 我恨不得你们真的作了王, 让我们也可以跟你们一同作王!

4:9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as condemned to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to people.
我想神是把我们作使徒的列在最后, 好像定了死刑的人, 因为我们成了一台戏给宇宙观看, 就是给天使和世人观看!

4:10 We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are prudent in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, but we are dishonored!
我们为基督的缘故, 成了愚笨的; 你们在基督里, 倒成了聪明的. 我们软弱, 你们倒强壮; 你们受人尊敬, 我们倒被轻视.

4:11 Until the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty and poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless,
直到现在, 我们还是又饥又渴, 衣不蔽体, 又挨打, 又没有栖身的地方,

4:12 and we toil, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
并且劳苦, 亲手作工. 被人咒骂, 我们就祝福; 遭受迫害, 我们就忍受;

4:13 when we are slandered, we encourage. We have become like the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things, until now.
被人毁谤, 我们却好好地劝导; 直到现在, 人还是把我们当作世上的垃圾, 万物的渣滓.

4:14 I am not writing these things to shame you, but admonishing you as my dear children.
我写这些话, 不是要叫你们羞愧, 而是把你们当作我亲爱的儿女一样劝戒你们.

4:15 For if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I fathered you through the gospel.
纵然你们在基督里有上万的启蒙教师, 可是父亲却不多, 因为是我在基督耶稣里借着福音生了你们.

4:16 Therefore I exhort you, become imitators of me.
所以我劝你们要效法我.

4:17 Because of this, I have sent to you Timothy, who is my dear and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
因此, 我打发提摩太到你们那里去. 他是我在主里亲爱又忠心的儿子, 他要提醒你们我在基督里是怎样行事为人, 正如我在各处教会中所教导的一样.

4:18 But some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
有人以为我不会到你们那里去, 就自高自大.

4:19 But I am coming to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will know not the talk of the ones who have become arrogant, but the power.
然而主若愿意, 我很快就要到你们那里去; 到时我要知道的, 不是那些自高自大的人所讲的, 而是他们的能力.

4:20 For the kingdom of God is not with talk, but with power.
因为神的国不在乎言语, 而在乎权能.

4:21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
你们愿意怎么样呢? 要我带着刑杖到你们那里去, 还是以温柔的灵, 带着爱心去呢?

I Corinthians - Chapter 5

5:1 It is reported everywhere that there is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind which does not even exist among the Gentiles, so that someone has the wife of his father.
听说你们中间竟然有淫乱的事, 这样的淫乱在教外人中间都没有, 就是有人和他的继母同居.

5:2 And you are inflated with pride, and should you not rather have mourned, so that the one who has done this deed would be removed from your midst?
你们还是自高自大! 难道你们不该觉得痛心, 把作这件事的人从你们中间赶出去吗?

5:3 For although I am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this in this way, as if I were present.
我身体虽然不在你们那里, 心灵却与你们在一起, 好像我亲身在那里审判了作这件事的人,

5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and my spirit, together with the power of our Lord Jesus,
就是当你们奉我们主耶稣的名聚集在一起, 我的灵在那里, 我们主耶稣的权能也同在的时候,

5:5 I have decided to hand over such a person to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, in order that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
要把这样的人交给撒但, 败坏他的身体, 使他的灵魂在主的日子可以得救.

5:6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough?
你们这样自夸是不好的. 你们不知道一点面酵能使全团面发起来吗?

5:7 Clean out the old leaven in order that you may be a new batch of dough, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
你们既是无酵的面, 就应当把旧酵除净, 好让你们成为新的面团; 因为我们逾越节的羊羔基督已经被杀献祭了.

5:8 So then, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old leaven or with the leaven of wickedness and sinfulness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
所以我们守这节, 不可用旧酵, 也不可用又邪又恶的酵, 而是要用纯洁真实的无酵饼.

5:9 I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
我以前写信告诉你们, 不可与淫乱的人来往.

5:10 By no means did I mean the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy people and swindlers or idolaters, since then you would have to depart out of the world.
这话当然不是指这世上行淫乱的,贪心的,勒索的, 或拜偶像的人; 如果是这样, 你们就非脱离这世界不可.

5:11 But now I have written to you not to associate with any so-called brother, if he is a sexually immoral person or a greedy person or an idolater or an abusive person or a drunkard or a swindler—with such a person not even to eat.
但现在我写信告诉你们, 如果有称为弟兄, 却是行淫乱,贪心,拜偶像,辱骂人,醉酒或勒索的, 这样的人, 不可和他来往, 连和他吃饭都不可.

5:12 For what is it to me to judge those outside? Should you not judge those inside?
审判教外的人, 跟我有什么关系? 教内的人不是你们审判的吗?

5:13 But those outside God will judge. Remove the evil person from among yourselves.
至于教外的人, 神会审判他们. 你们要把那恶人从你们中间赶出去.

I Corinthians - Chapter 6

6:1 Does anyone among you, if he has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
你们中间有人和弟兄起了争执, 怎敢告到不义的人面前, 却不告在圣徒面前呢?

6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if by you the world is judged, are you unworthy of the most insignificant courts?
你们不知道圣徒要审判世界吗? 既然世界要由你们来审判, 难道你们不配审判这些最小的事吗?

6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention ordinary matters?
你们不知道我们要审判天使吗? 何况今生的事呢?

6:4 Therefore, if you have courts with regard to ordinary matters, do you seat these despised people in the church?
你们既然要审判今生的事, 为什么让教会不重视的人来审判呢?

6:5 I say this to your shame. So is there not anyone wise among you who will be able to render a decision between his brothers?
我说这话, 是要使你们羞愧. 难道你们中间没有一个有智慧的人, 能够审判弟兄之间的事吗?

6:6 But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers!
你们竟然是弟兄告弟兄, 而且告到不信的人面前去吗?

6:7 Therefore it is already completely a loss for you that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
你们彼此告状, 已经是你们的失败了. 为什么不宁愿受委屈呢? 为什么不甘心吃亏呢?

6:8 But you wrong and defraud, and do this to brothers!
但你们反倒使人受委屈, 叫人吃亏, 而且他们就是你们的弟兄.

6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither sexually immoral people, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive homosexual partners, nor dominant homosexual partners,
你们不知道不义的人不能承受神的国吗? 不要自欺, 无论是行淫乱的,拜偶像的,奸淫的,作娈童的,亲男色的,

6:10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, not drunkards, not abusive persons, not swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
偷窃的,贪心的,醉酒的,辱骂人的或勒索的, 都不能承受神的国.

6:11 And some of you were these things, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
你们有些人从前也是这样的, 但现在借着我们主耶稣基督的名, 靠着我们神的灵, 都已经洗净了, 圣洁了, 称义了.

6:12 All things are permitted for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be controlled by anything.
什么事我都可以作, 但不是都有益处. 什么事我都可以作, 但我不要受任何事的辖制.

6:13 Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food, but God will abolish both of them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
食物是为了肚腹, 肚腹是为了食物; 但神却要把这两样都废掉. 身体不是为了淫乱, 而是为了主, 主也是为了身体.

6:14 And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up by his power.
神不但使主复活了, 也要用他的能力使我们复活.

6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Therefore, shall I take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
你们不知道你们的身体就是基督的肢体吗? 这样, 我们可以把基督的肢体当作娼妓的肢体吗? 当然不可以!

6:16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For it says, “The two will become one flesh.”
你们不知道那跟娼妓苟合的, 就是与她成为一体了吗? 因为经上说: “二人要成为一体. ”

6:17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.
但那与主联合的, 就是与他成为一灵了.

6:18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the one who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
你们要逃避淫乱的事. 人所犯的, 无论是什么罪, 都是在身体以外, 唯有行淫乱的, 是触犯自己的身体.

6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
你们不知道你们的身体就是那位住在你们里面的圣灵的殿吗? 这圣灵是你们从神那里领受的. 你们不是属于自己的,

6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God with your body.
因为你们是用重价买来的. 所以你们务要用自己的身体荣耀神.

I Corinthians - Chapter 7

7:1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to touch a woman.”
关于你们信上所提的事, 我认为男人不亲近女人倒好.

7:2 But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband.
但为了避免淫乱的事, 男人应当各有自己的妻子, 女人也应当各有自己的丈夫.

7:3 The husband must fulfill his obligation to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
丈夫对妻子应该尽他的本分, 妻子对丈夫也应当这样.

7:4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband does. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife does.
妻子对自己的身体没有主权, 权在丈夫; 照样, 丈夫对自己的身体也没有主权, 权在妻子.

7:5 Do not defraud one another, except perhaps by agreement, for a time, in order that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then you should be together again, lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self control.
夫妻不可彼此亏负, 除非为了要专心祷告, 双方才可以同意暂时分房. 以后仍要同房, 免得撒但趁着你们情不自禁的时候诱惑你们.

7:6 But I say this as a concession, not as a command.
我说这话是容许你们, 并不是命令.

7:7 I wish all people could be like myself, but each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that way.
我愿人人都像我一样; 只是各人有各人从神得来的恩赐, 有人是这样, 有人是那样.

7:8 Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.
我现在要对未婚的人和寡妇说, 他们若保持像我这样就好了;

7:9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.
但如果不能自制, 就应当结婚, 因为结婚总比欲火焚身好.

7:10 To the married I command—not I, but the Lord—a wife must not separate from her husband.
我要吩咐已婚的人(其实不是我, 而是主吩咐的), 妻子不可离开丈夫.

7:11 But if indeed she does separate, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
如果离开了, 就不可再嫁, 不然, 就要跟丈夫复合. 丈夫也不可离弃妻子.

7:12 Now to the rest I say—not the Lord—if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.
我要对其余的人说(是我说的, 不是主说的), 倘若某弟兄有不信的妻子, 而她也情愿和他住在一起, 他就不要离弃她.

7:13 And if any wife has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce her husband.
如果妻子有不信的丈夫, 而他也情愿和她住在一起, 她也不要离弃丈夫.

7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother, since otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
因为不信的丈夫因着妻子成为圣洁, 不信的妻子也因着那个弟兄成为圣洁了. 不然, 你们的儿女就是不洁净的, 但现在他们都是圣洁的了.

7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not bound in such cases. But God has called us in peace.
如果那不信的要离去, 就由他离去吧; 在这种情形之下, 信主的弟兄或姊妹都不必勉强. 神呼召你们, 是要你们和睦.

7:16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
你这作妻子的, 你怎么知道不能救你的丈夫呢? 你这作丈夫的, 你怎么知道不能救你的妻子呢?

7:17 But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live—and thus I order in all the churches.
不过, 主怎样分给各人, 神怎样呼召各人, 各人就要照着去行事为人. 我也这样吩咐各教会.

7:18 Was anyone called after being circumcised? He must not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called in uncircumcision? He must not become circumcised.
有人受了割礼而蒙召的吗? 他就不要遮掩割礼的记号. 有人未受割礼而蒙召的吗? 他就不要受割礼.

7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
割礼算不得什么, 没有割礼也算不得什么, 要紧的是遵守神的命令.

7:20 Each one in the calling in which he was called—in this he should remain.
各人蒙召的时候怎样, 他就应当保持原来的情况.

7:21 Were you called while a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if indeed you are able to become free, rather make use of it.
你蒙召的时候是作奴仆的吗? 不要为此烦恼. 但如果你能够得到自由, 就要把握这机会.

7:22 For the one who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedperson. Likewise the one who is called while free is a slave of Christ.
因为作奴仆的蒙了主的呼召, 就是属于主的自由人了; 照样, 自由的人蒙了呼召, 他就是基督的奴仆了.

7:23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
你们是用重价买来的, 不要作人的奴仆.

7:24 Each one in the situation in which he was called, brothers—in this he should remain with God.
弟兄们, 你们各人蒙召的时候怎样, 就应当在神面前保持这原来的情况.

7:25 Now concerning virgins I do not have a command from the Lord, but I am giving an opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.
关于守独身的女子, 我没有主的命令, 但我既然蒙了主的怜悯, 成为可信靠的人, 就把我的意见提出来.

7:26 Therefore, I consider this to be good because of the impending distress, that it is good for a man to be thus.
为了目前的困难, 我认为人最好能保持现状.

7:27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek release. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
你已经有了妻子吗? 就不要想摆脱. 你还没有妻子吗? 就不要去找妻子.

7:28 But if you marry, you have not sinned, and if the virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have affliction in the flesh, and I would spare you.
如果你娶妻子, 这不是犯罪; 如果处女出嫁, 也不是犯罪. 不过, 这样的人要受肉体上的苦难, 我却不愿你们受这苦难.

7:29 But I say this, brothers: the time is shortened, that from now on even those who have wives should be as if they do not have wives,
弟兄们, 我是说时候不多了. 从今以后, 有妻子的要像没有妻子的,

7:30 and those who weep as if they do not weep, and those who rejoice as if they do not rejoice, and those who buy as if they do not possess,
哀哭的要像不哀哭的, 快乐的要像不快乐的, 买了东西的要像一无所得的,

7:31 and those who make use of the world as if they do not make full use of it. For the present form of this world is passing away.
享用世上百物的要像没有享用的一样, 因为这世上的情况都要过去.

7:32 But I want you to be free from care. The unmarried person cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.
我愿你们无所挂虑. 没有娶妻子的人, 挂念的是主的事, 想怎样去得主喜悦;

7:33 But the one who is married cares for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
但娶了妻子的人是为世上的事挂虑, 想怎样去讨妻子的欢心,

7:34 and he is divided. And the unmarried woman or the virgin cares for the things of the Lord, in order that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the married woman cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
这样他就分心了. 没有结婚的妇女和守独身的女子, 挂念的是主的事, 好让身体和心灵都成为圣洁; 但结了婚的妇女是为世上的事挂虑, 想怎样去讨丈夫的欢心.

7:35 Now I am saying this for your own benefit, not that I may put a restriction on you, but to promote appropriate and devoted service to the Lord without distraction.
我说这话, 是为了你们自己的益处; 我不是要限制你们, 而是要你们作合宜的事, 一心一意地对主忠诚.

7:36 But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry.
如果有人认为是亏待了自己的女朋友, 她也过了结婚的年龄, 而他觉得应当结婚, 他就可以照着自己的意思去作, 这不是犯罪; 他们应该结婚.

7:37 But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has authority concerning his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.
但如果他心里坚决, 没有什么不得已的原因, 又可以控制自己的意志, 决心让女朋友持守独身; 这样作也是好的.

7:38 So then, the one who marries his own virgin does well, and the one who does not marry her will do better.
所以, 那跟自己的女朋友结婚的, 作得好, 那不结婚的, 作得更好. (或译: “36如果有人认为待自己的女儿不合适, 她也过了结婚的年龄, 而且应当这样行, 他就可以照着自己的意思去作, 让她们结婚, 这不是犯罪. 37但如果他心里坚定, 没有什么不得已的原因, 又有权作主, 决心留下自己的女儿, 这样作也是好的. 38所以, 那让自己女儿出嫁的, 作得好, 那不让女儿出嫁的, 作得更好. ”)

7:39 A wife is bound for as long a time as her husband lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she wishes, only in the Lord.
丈夫活着的时候, 妻子是受约束的; 丈夫若死了, 她就可以自由地嫁给她愿意嫁的人, 只是要嫁给主里的人.

7:40 But she is happier if she remains thus, according to my opinion—and I think I have the Spirit of God.
然而照我的意见, 倘若她能守节, 就更有福了. 我想我这话也是神的灵感动的.

I Corinthians - Chapter 8

8:1 Now concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
关于祭过偶像的食物, 我们晓得我们都有知识. 但知识会使人自高自大, 唯有爱心能造就人.

8:2 If anyone thinks he knows anything, he has not yet known as it is necessary to know.
如果有人自以为知道些什么, 那么, 他应该知道的, 他还是不知道.

8:3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him.
如果有人爱神, 这人是神所知道的.

8:4 Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world” and that “there is no God except one.”
关于吃祭过偶像的食物, 我们知道世上的偶像算不得什么, 也知道神只有一位, 没有别的神.

8:5 For even if after all there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many gods and many lords,
虽然有被称为神的, 无论在天上或在地上(就如有许多的“神”许多的“主”),

8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we are for him, and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we are through him.
然而我们只有一位神, 就是父; 万物都是从他而来, 我们也为了他而活. 我们也只有一位主, 就是耶稣基督; 万物都是借着他而有的, 我们也是借着他而有的.

8:7 But this knowledge is not in everyone. But some, being accustomed until now to the idol, eat this food as food sacrificed to idols, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.
不过, 这种知识不是人人都有的. 有些人直到现在习惯了拜偶像的事, 因此他们吃的时候, 就把这些食物看作是真的献过给偶像的; 他们的良心既然软弱, 就被污秽了.

8:8 But food does not bring us close to God. For neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack.
其实食物不能使我们亲近神, 我们不吃也无损, 吃也无益.

8:9 But watch out lest somehow this right of yours becomes a cause for stumbling to the weak.
然而你们要谨慎, 免得你们这自由成了软弱的人的绊脚石.

8:10 For if someone should see you who has knowledge reclining for a meal in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, because it is weak, be strengthened so that he eats the food sacrificed to idols?
因为如果有人看见你这有知识的人, 在偶像的庙里吃饭, 他的良心若是软弱, 他不就放胆去吃那祭过偶像的食物吗?

8:11 For the one who is weak—the brother for whom Christ died—is destroyed by your knowledge.
因此, 基督已经为他死了的那软弱的弟兄, 就因你的知识而灭亡了.

8:12 Now if you sin in this way against the brothers and wound their conscience, which is weak, you sin against Christ.
你们这样得罪弟兄, 伤了他们软弱的良心, 就是得罪基督了.

8:13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat forever, in order that I may not cause my brother to sin.
所以, 如果食物使我的弟兄跌倒, 我就永远不再吃肉, 免得使我的弟兄跌倒了.

I Corinthians - Chapter 9

9:1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
我不是自由的吗? 我不是使徒吗? 我不是见过我们的主耶稣吗? 你们不是我在主里面的工作吗?

9:2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet indeed I am to you, for you are my seal of apostleship in the Lord.
对别人来说, 我或许不是使徒, 但对你们来说, 我总是使徒, 因为你们就是我在主里作使徒的印记.

9:3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
对那些盘问我的人, 这就是我的答辩.

9:4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink?
难道我们没有权利吃喝吗?

9:5 Do we not have the right to take along a sister as wife, like the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
难道我们没有权利, 像其余的使徒,主的弟兄和矶法一样, 带着信主的妻子往来吗?

9:6 Or do only I and Barnabas not have the right to refrain from working?
难道只有我和巴拿巴没有权利不作工吗?

9:7 Who ever serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who shepherds a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock?
有谁当兵要自备粮饷呢? 有谁栽种葡萄园, 不吃园里的果子呢? 有谁牧养羊群, 不喝羊的奶呢?

9:8 I am not saying these things according to a human perspective. Or does the law not also say these things?
我说这话, 不是照着人的意见, 律法不也是这样说吗?

9:9 For in the law of Moses it is written, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is threshing.” It is not about oxen God is concerned, is it?
就在摩西的律法上记着说: “牛踹谷的时候, 不可笼住它的嘴. ”难道神关心的只是牛吗?

9:10 Or doubtless does he speak for our sake? For it is written for our sake, because the one who plows ought to plow in hope and the one who threshes ought to do so in hope of a share.
这不全是为我们说的吗? 当然是为我们说的, 因为耕种的应当存着希望去耕种, 收割的也应当存着希望去分享收获.

9:11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too great a thing if we reap material things from you?
我们既然在你们中间撒了属灵的种子, 如果要从你们那里收获一些物质的供应, 这算是过分吗?

9:12 If others share this right over you, do we not do so even more? Yet we have not made use of this right, but we endure all things, in order that we may not cause any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
如果别人在你们身上享有这种权利, 我们不是更可以享有吗? 然而我们没有用过这种权利, 反而凡事容忍, 免得我们拦阻了基督的福音.

9:13 Do you not know that those performing the holy services eat the things from the temple, and those attending to the altar have a share with the altar?
难道你们不知道, 在圣殿供职的, 就吃殿中的供物; 侍候祭坛的, 就分领坛上的祭物吗?

9:14 In the same way also the Lord ordered those who proclaim the gospel to live from the gospel.
主也曾这样吩咐, 叫传福音的人靠福音为生.

9:15 But I have not made use of any of these rights. And I am not writing these things in order that it may be thus with me. For it would be better to me rather to die than for anyone to deprive me of my reason for boasting.
但这种权利, 我一点也没有用过. 我写这些话, 并不是想叫人这样待我, 因为我宁可死, 也不让人使我所夸耀的落了空.

9:16 For if I proclaim the gospel, it is not to me a reason for boasting, for necessity is imposed on me. For woe is to me if I do not proclaim the gospel.
我传福音原是没有可夸的, 因我不能不传. 如果不传福音, 我就有祸了.

9:17 For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if I do so unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.
如果我甘心作这事, 就有赏赐; 即使不甘心, 这职责还是托付我了.

9:18 What then is my reward? That when I proclaim the gospel, I may offer the gospel free of charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
那么, 我的赏赐是什么呢? 就是我传福音时, 叫人免费得着福音. 这样, 我就没有用过传福音可以享有的权利了.

9:19 For although I am free from all people, I have enslaved myself to all, in order that I may gain more.
我虽然自由, 不受任何人管辖, 但我自愿成为众人的奴仆, 为的是要多得一些人.

9:20 I have become like a Jew to the Jews, in order that I may gain the Jews. To those under the law I became as under the law (although I myself am not under the law) in order that I may gain those under the law.
对犹太人, 我就作犹太人, 为了要得着犹太人; 对律法以下的人, 虽然我自己不在律法之下, 还是作了律法以下的人, 为了要得着律法以下的人.

9:21 To those outside the law I became as outside the law (although I am not outside the law of God, but subject to the law of Christ) in order that I may gain those outside the law.
对没有律法的人, 我就作了没有律法的人, 其实我不是在神的律法以外, 而是在基督的律法之下, 为了要得着没有律法的人.

9:22 To the weak I became weak, in order that I may gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, in order that by all means I may save some.
对软弱的人, 我就成了软弱的人, 为了要得着软弱的人. 对怎么样的人, 我就作怎么样的人; 无论如何, 总要救一些人.

9:23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, in order that I may become a participant with it.
我所作的一切, 都是为了福音的缘故, 好让我与别人同享福音的好处.

9:24 Do you not know that those who run in the stadium all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
难道你们不知道, 在场上赛跑的人, 虽然大家都跑, 但得奖的只有一个人吗? 你们都应当这样跑, 好叫你们可以得奖.

9:25 And everyone who competes exercises self-control in all things. Thus those do so in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.
凡参加运动比赛的, 在一切事上都有节制; 他们这样作, 不过要得到能坏的冠冕, 我们却是要得不朽的冠冕.

9:26 Therefore I run in this way, not as running aimlessly; I box in this way, not as beating the air.
所以我奔跑, 不是没有目标的; 我斗拳, 不是打空气的.

9:27 But I discipline my body and subjugate it, lest somehow after preaching to others, I myself should become disqualified.
我要克制自己的身体, 叫身体服我, 免得我传了给别人, 自己反而落选了.

I Corinthians - Chapter 10

10:1 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all went through the sea,
弟兄们, 我不愿意你们不知道, 我们的祖宗都曾经在云下, 都曾经从海中经过,

10:2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
都曾经在云里在海里受洗归于摩西.

10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
他们都吃了一样的灵粮,

10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
都喝了一样的灵水; 他们所喝的, 是从那随着他们的灵磐石那里来的, 这磐石就是基督.

10:5 But God was not pleased with the majority of them, for they were struck down in the desert.
但他们大多数的人, 都得不到神的喜悦, 因此他们都死在旷野.

10:6 Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil things, just as those also desired them,
这些事都是我们的鉴戒, 叫我们不要贪恋恶事, 像他们那样.

10:7 and not become idolaters, as some of them did, just as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play,”
你们也不可拜偶像, 像他们有些人那样; 正如经上所记: “人民坐下吃喝, 起来玩乐. ”

10:8 nor commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed sexual immorality, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day,
我们也不可淫乱, 像他们有些人那样, 一天就死了二万三千人.

10:9 nor put Christ to the test, as some of them tested him, and were destroyed by snakes,
我们也不可试探主, 像他们有些人那样, 结果就被蛇咬死了.

10:10 nor grumble, just as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
你们也不可发怨言, 像他们有些人那样, 就被那毁灭者所灭.

10:11 Now these things happened to those people as an example, but are written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
这些事发生在他们身上, 作为鉴戒, 并且记下来, 为了要警戒我们这些末世的人.

10:12 Therefore, the one who thinks that he stands must watch out lest he fall.
所以, 那自以为站得稳的, 应当谨慎, 免得跌倒.

10:13 Temptation has not come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, so that you may be able to endure it.
你们所受的试探, 无非是人受得起的; 神是信实的, 他必不容许你们受试探过于你们抵受得住的, 而且在受试探的时候, 必定给你们开一条出路, 使你们能忍受得住.

10:14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.
所以, 我所亲爱的, 你们要远避拜偶像的事.

10:15 I am speaking as to sensible people; you judge what I am saying.
我是对明白事理的人说的, 我所说的你们要自己判断.

10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
我们为福杯祝祷的时候, 难道不是共享基督的血吗? 我们擘饼的时候, 难道不是共享基督的身体吗?

10:17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share from the one bread.
因为事实上只有一个饼, 我们人数虽多, 还是一个身体, 因为我们都是分享同一个饼.

10:18 Consider Israel according to the flesh: are not the ones who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?
你们看看以色列人, 那些吃祭物的不就是与祭坛有分吗?

10:19 Therefore, what am I saying? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
我说的是什么意思呢? 偶像算得什么, 还是祭过偶像的食物算得什么?

10:20 No, but that the things which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers with demons.
我是说, 教外人所祭的是鬼, 不是献给神; 我却不愿意你们与鬼来往.

10:21 You are not able to drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You are not able to share the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
你们不能喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯, 你们不能参加主的筵席又参加鬼的筵席.

10:22 Or are we attempting to provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than he is, are we?
难道我们要激起主的忿怒吗? 我们比他更强吗?

10:23 All things are permitted, but not all things are profitable. All things are permitted, but not all things build up.
什么事情都可以作, 但不是都有益处. 什么事情都可以作, 但不是都能造就人.

10:24 Let no one seek his own good but the good of the other.
人不要求自己的好处, 却要求别人的好处.

10:25 Eat everything that is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for the sake of the conscience,
肉食市场所卖的一切, 你们只管吃, 不要为了良心的缘故问什么,

10:26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
因为地和地上所充满的都是属于主的.

10:27 If any of the unbelievers invites you, and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of the conscience.
如果有不信的人邀请你们吃饭, 你们也愿意去, 凡摆在你们面前的, 都可以吃, 不要为了良心的缘故问什么.

10:28 But if someone says to you, “This is offered to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and the conscience.
但是如果有人告诉你们: “这是献过祭的食物. ”那么, 为了那告诉你们的人, 也为了良心的缘故, 就不要吃.

10:29 Now I am not speaking about your own conscience, but the conscience of the other person. For why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?
我说的良心, 不是你的, 而是他的. 为什么我的自由要受别人的良心论断呢?

10:30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?
我若存着感恩的心吃了, 为什么我因着我所感恩的食物被人毁谤呢?

10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.
所以, 你们或吃喝, 或作什么, 一切都要为神的荣耀而行.

10:32 Give no offense both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God,
无论是犹太人, 是希腊人, 是神的教会, 你们总不可使他们跌倒;

10:33 just as I also please all people in all things, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of the many, in order that they may be saved.
就好像我所作的一切, 都是要使大家喜悦, 不是要求自己的好处, 而是要求别人的好处, 为了要使他们得救.

I Corinthians - Chapter 11

11:1 Become imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
你们应该效法我, 好像我效法基督一样.

11:2 Now I praise you that you remember me in all things, and just as I handed over to you the traditions, you hold fast to them.
我称赞你们, 因为你们在一切事上都记念我, 又持守我传交给你们的教训.

11:3 But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and the head of Christ is God.
但是我愿意你们知道, 基督是男人的头, 男人是女人的头(“男人是女人的头”或译: “丈夫是妻子的头”), 神是基督的头.

11:4 Every man who prays or prophesies while having something on his head dishonors his head,
男人祷告或讲道的时候, 如果蒙着头, 就是羞辱自己的头.

11:5 but every woman who prays or prophesies with uncovered head dishonors her head, for she is one and the same with the one whose head is shaved.
女人祷告或讲道的时候, 如果不蒙着头, 就是羞辱自己的头, 因为这就好像剃了头发一样.

11:6 For if a woman does not cover herself, let her hair be shorn off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her head shorn or shaved, let her cover her head.
女人要不蒙着头, 她就应当把头发剪了; 如果女人以为剪发或剃头是羞耻的事, 她就应当蒙着头.

11:7 For indeed a man ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
男人不应蒙着头, 因为他是神的形象和荣耀, 而女人是男人的荣耀.

11:8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
因为男人不是由女人而出, 女人却是由男人而出,

11:9 For indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
并且男人不是为了女人而造的, 女人却是为了男人而造的.

11:10 Because of this, the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, on account of the angels.
因此, 为天使的缘故, 女人应当在头上有服权柄的记号.

11:11 Nevertheless, neither is woman anything apart from man, nor is man anything apart from woman in the Lord.
然而在主里面, 女人不可以没有男人, 男人也不可以没有女人.

11:12 For just as the woman is from the man, thus also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.
因为正如女人是由男人而出, 照样, 男人是借着女人而生; 万有都是出于神.

11:13 You judge for yourselves: is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
你们自己判断一下, 女人向神祷告的时候不蒙头, 是合适的吗?

11:14 And does not nature itself teach you that a man, if he wears long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
人的本性不是也教导你们, 如果男人有长头发, 就是他的羞耻吗?

11:15 But a woman, if she wears long hair, it is her glory, because her hair is given for a covering.
如果女人有长头发, 不就是她的荣耀吗? 因为头发是给她作盖头的.

11:16 But if anyone is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
如果有人想要强辩, 我们却没有这种习惯, 神的众教会也没有.

11:17 But in giving this instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
我现在要吩咐你们, 不是要称赞你们, 因为你们聚集在一起, 并没有得到益处, 反而有害处.

11:18 For in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
首先, 我听说你们在聚会的时候, 你们中间起了分裂, 这话我也稍微相信.

11:19 For indeed it is necessary that there be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may become evident among you.
你们中间会有分党结派的事, 这是必然的, 为的是要使那些经得起考验的人显明出来.

11:20 Therefore, when you come together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
你们聚集在一起, 不是吃主的晚餐,

11:21 For when you eat it, each one of you goes ahead to take his own supper, and one is hungry and another is drunk.
因为吃的时候, 各人都先吃自己的晚餐, 结果有人饥饿, 有人醉了.

11:22 For do you not have houses for eating and drinking? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who do not have anything? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you!
难道你们没有家可以吃喝吗? 还是你们藐视神的教会, 使那些没有的羞愧呢? 我向你们可以说什么呢? 称赞你们吗? 在这事上我不能称赞.

11:23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,
我当日传交给你们的, 原是从主领受的, 就是主耶稣被出卖的那一夜, 他拿起饼来,

11:24 and after he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
祝谢了, 就擘开, 说: “这是我的身体, 为你们擘开的; 你们应当这样行, 为的是记念我. ”

11:25 Likewise also the cup, after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
饭后, 照样拿起杯来, 说: “这杯是用我的血所立的新约, 你们每逢喝的时候, 应当这样行, 为的是记念我. ”

11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
你们每逢吃这饼, 喝这杯, 就是宣扬主的死, 直等到他来.

11:27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
因此, 无论什么人若用不合适的态度吃主的饼, 喝主的杯, 就是得罪主的身体,主的血了.

11:28 But let a person examine himself, and in this way let him eat from the bread and let him drink from the cup.
所以人应当省察自己, 然后才吃这饼, 喝这杯.

11:29 For the one who eats and drinks, if he does not recognize the body, eats and drinks judgment against himself.
因为那吃喝的人, 如果不辨明是主的身体, 就是吃喝定在自己的身上的罪了.

11:30 Because of this, many are weak and sick among you, and quite a few have died.
因此, 你们中间有许多人是软弱的, 患病的, 而且死了的也不少.

11:31 But if we were evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.
我们若仔细省察自己, 就不会受审判了.

11:32 But if we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, in order that we will not be condemned with the world.
然而我们被主审判的时候, 是受他的管教, 免得和世人一同被定罪.

11:33 So then, my brothers, when you come together in order to eat the Lord’s supper, wait for one another.
所以, 我的弟兄们, 你们聚集在一起吃的时候, 要彼此等待.

11:34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And I will give directions about the remaining matters whenever I come.
如果有人饿了, 就应当在家里先吃, 免得你们聚集在一起的时候受到审判. 其余的事, 我来的时候再作安排.

I Corinthians - Chapter 12

12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
弟兄们, 关于属灵的恩赐, 我不愿意你们不明白.

12:2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the speechless idols, however you were led.
你们知道, 你们还是教外人的时候, 总是受迷惑被引诱, 去拜那不能说话的偶像.

12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed,” and no one is able to say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.
所以我要你们知道, 被神的灵感动而说话的人, 没有一个会说“耶稣是可咒诅的”; 除非是被圣灵感动, 也没有人能说“耶稣是主”.

12:4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,
恩赐有许多种, 却是同一位圣灵所赐的;

12:5 and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord,
服事的职分有许多种, 但是同一位主;

12:6 and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all things in all people.
工作的方式也有许多种, 但仍是一位神, 是他在众人里面作成一切.

12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all.
圣灵显现在各人的身上, 为的是要使人得着益处.

12:8 For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit,
有人借着圣灵领受了智慧的言语, 又有人靠着同一位圣灵领受了知识的言语,

12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
又有人因着同一位圣灵领受了信心, 还有人因着这位圣灵领受了医病的恩赐,

12:10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.
另有人可以行神迹, 另有人可以讲道, 另有人可以辨别诸灵, 也有人能说各种的方言, 也有人能翻译方言.

12:11 But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.
这一切都是这同一位圣灵所作的, 他按照自己的意思个别地分给各人.

12:12 For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they are many, are one body, thus also Christ.
正如身体是一个, 却有许多肢体, 而且肢体虽然很多, 身体仍是一个; 基督也是这样.

12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free persons, and all were made to drink one Spirit.
我们无论是犹太人, 是希腊人, 是作奴隶的, 是自由的, 都在那一位圣灵里受了洗, 成为一个身体, 都饮了那一位圣灵.

12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
原来身体有许多肢体, 并不是只有一个肢体.

12:15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” not because of this is it not a part of the body.
假如脚说: “我不是手, 所以我不属于身体. ”它不能因此就不属于身体.

12:16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body, not because of this is it not a part of the body.
假如耳朵说: “我不是眼睛, 所以我不属于身体. ”它也不能因此就不属于身体.

12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
假如整个身体只是眼睛, 怎样听呢? 假如整个身体只是耳朵, 怎样闻味呢?

12:18 But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted.
但现在神按照自己的意思, 把肢体一一放在身体上.

12:19 And if they all were one member, where would the body be?
假如所有的只是一个肢体, 怎能算是身体呢?

12:20 But now there are many members, but one body.
但现在肢体虽然很多, 身体却只是一个.

12:21 Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, “I do not have need of you,” or again, the head to the feet, “I do not have need of you.”
眼睛不能对手说: “我不需要你. ”头也不能对脚说: “我不需要你们. ”

12:22 But by much more the members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary,
相反地, 身体上那些似乎比较软弱的肢体, 更是不可缺少的.

12:23 and the parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, these we clothe with more abundant honor, and our unpresentable parts come to have more abundant presentability,
我们认为身体上不大体面的部分, 就更加要把它装饰得体面; 不大美观的部分, 就更加要使它美观.

12:24 but our presentable parts do not have need of this. Yet God composed the body by giving more abundant honor to the part which lacked it,
我们身体上美观的部分, 就不需要这样了. 但神却这样把身体组成了: 格外地把体面加给比较有缺欠的肢体,

12:25 in order that there not be a division in the body, but the members would have the same concern for one another.
好使肢体能够互相照顾, 免得身体上有了分裂.

12:26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
如果一个肢体受苦, 所有的肢体就一同受苦; 如果一个肢体得荣耀, 所有的肢体就一同快乐.

12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of it individually,
你们就是基督的身体, 并且每一个人都是作肢体的.

12:28 and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.
神在教会里所设立的, 第一是使徒, 第二是先知, 第三是教师, 其次是行神迹的, 再其次是有医病恩赐的, 帮助人的, 治理事的, 说各种方言的.

12:29 Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all are workers of miracles, are they?
难道都是使徒吗? 都是先知吗? 都是教师吗? 都是行神迹的吗?

12:30 Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak with tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?
都是有医病恩赐的吗? 都是说方言的吗? 都是翻译方言的吗?

12:31 But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
你们却要热切地追求那些更大的恩赐. 现在我要把更高的道路指示你们.

I Corinthians - Chapter 13

13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a ringing brass gong or a clashing cymbal.
我若能说世人和天使的方言, 却没有爱, 我就成了鸣的锣,响的钹一样.

13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
我若有先知讲道的恩赐, 也明白各样的奥秘, 各样的知识; 并且有全备的信, 叫我能够移山, 却没有爱, 我就算不得什么.

13:3 And if I parcel out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body in order that I will be burned, but do not have love, it benefits me nothing.
我若把一切所有的分给人, 又舍己身被人焚烧, 却没有爱, 对我仍然毫无益处.

13:4 Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not boast, it does not become conceited,
爱是恒久忍耐, 又有恩慈. 爱是不嫉妒, 不自夸, 不张狂;

13:5 it does not behave dishonorably, it is not selfish, it does not become angry, it does not keep a record of wrongs,
不作失礼的事, 不求自己的益处, 不轻易动怒, 不计较人的过犯;

13:6 it does not rejoice at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth,
不喜欢不义, 只喜欢真理.

13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
爱是凡事包容, 凡事相信, 凡事盼望, 凡事忍耐.

13:8 Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will pass away. If there are tongues, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will pass away.
爱是永存不息的. 先知的讲道终必过去, 方言终必停止, 知识终必消失.

13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
因为我们现在所知道的, 只是一部分; 所讲的道也只是一部分;

13:10 but whenever the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
等那完全的来到, 这部分的就要过去了.

13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside the things of a child.
我作孩子的时候, 说话像孩子, 心思像孩子, 想法像孩子, 既然长大了, 就把孩子的事都丢弃了.

13:12 For now we see through a mirror indirectly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know completely, just as I have also been completely known.
我们现在是对着镜子观看, 模糊不清, 到那时就要面对面了. 我现在所知道的只是一部分, 到那时就完全知道了, 好像主完全知道我一样.

13:13 And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
现在常存的有信,望,爱这三样, 其中最大的是爱.

I Corinthians - Chapter 14

14:1 Pursue love, and strive for spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
你们要追求爱, 也要热切地渴慕属灵的恩赐, 特别是先知讲道的恩赐.

14:2 For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, because no one understands, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
原来那说方言的不是对人说, 而是对神说, 因为没有人能听得懂; 他是在灵里讲奥秘的事.

14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people edification and encouragement and consolation.
但那讲道的是对人讲说, 使他们得着造就,安慰和劝勉.

14:4 The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
那说方言的是造就自己, 但那讲道的是造就教会.

14:5 Now I want you all to speak with tongues, but even more that you may prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, in order that the church may receive edification.
我愿意你们都说方言, 但我更愿意你们都讲道; 因为那说方言的, 如果不翻译出来使教会得着造就, 就远不如那讲道的了.

14:6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, how do I benefit you, unless I speak to you either with a revelation or with knowledge or with a prophecy or with a teaching?
弟兄们, 你们想想, 如果我到你们那里去, 只说方言, 不向你们讲有关启示,知识,预言, 或教训的话, 那我对你们有什么益处呢?

14:7 Likewise, the inanimate things which produce a sound, whether flute or lyre, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the lyre?
甚至那些没有生命却能发声的东西, 例如箫或琴, 如果音调不分, 怎能使人知道所弹所奏的是什么呢?

14:8 For indeed, if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare for battle?
又如果军号所发的声音不清楚, 谁会准备作战呢?

14:9 And so you through the tongue, unless you produce a clear message, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.
你们也是这样, 如果用舌头发出人听不懂的话来, 人怎会知道你所讲的是什么呢? 这样, 你们就是向空气说话了.

14:10 There are probably so many kinds of languages in the world, and none without meaning.
世上有那么多种语言, 但没有一种是没有意义的.

14:11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a barbarian to the one who is speaking, and the one who is speaking will be a barbarian in my judgment.
我若不明白某一种语言的意思, 在那讲的人来看, 我就是个外国人; 在我来说, 那讲话的人也是个外国人.

14:12 In this way also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek for the edification of the church, in order that you may abound.
你们也是这样, 你们既然热切地渴慕属灵的恩赐, 就应当追求多多得着造就教会的恩赐.

14:13 Therefore the one who speaks in a tongue must pray that he may interpret.
所以, 说方言的应当祈求, 使他能把方言翻译出来.

14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unproductive.
我若用方言祷告, 是我的灵在祷告, 我的理智并没有作用.

14:15 Therefore what should I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will also sing praise with my mind.
那么我应当怎样行呢? 我要用灵祷告, 也要用理智祷告; 我要用灵歌唱, 也要用理智歌唱.

14:16 For otherwise, if you praise in your spirit, how will the one who fills the place of the outsider say the “amen” at your thanksgiving, because he does not know what you are saying?
不然, 如果你用灵赞美, 在场那些不明白的人, 因为不知道你在说什么, 怎能在你感谢的时候说“阿们”呢?

14:17 For indeed you are giving thanks well, but the other person is not edified.
你感谢固然是好, 但别人却得不着造就.

14:18 I give thanks to God that I speak with tongues more than all of you,
我感谢神, 我说方言比你们大家都多.

14:19 but in the church I prefer to speak five words with my mind, in order that I may instruct other people, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
但在教会中, 我宁愿用理智说五句话去教导人, 胜过用方言说万句话.

14:20 Brothers, do not become children in your understanding, but with respect to wickedness be as a child, and in your understanding be mature.
弟兄们, 你们在思想上不要作小孩子, 却要在恶事上作婴孩, 在思想上作成年人.

14:21 In the law it is written: “By those who speak a foreign language and by the lips of others I will speak to this people, and not even in this way will they obey me,” says the Lord.
律法上记着说: “主说: 我要借着说别种话的人, 用外国人的嘴唇, 对这人民说话; 虽然这样, 他们还是不听我. ”

14:22 So then, tongues are for a sign not to those who believe, but to unbelievers, but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.
可见说方言不是要给信主的人作记号, 而是要给未信的人; 讲道不是要给未信的人, 而是要给信主的人作记号.

14:23 Therefore, if the whole church comes together at the same time and all speak with tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
所以, 如果全教会聚在一起的时候, 大家都说方言, 有不明白的人或未信的人进来, 不是要说你们疯了吗?

14:24 But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all,
如果大家都讲道, 有未信的人或不明白的人进来, 他就会被众人劝服而知罪, 被众人审问了.

14:25 the secret things of his heart become evident, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
他心里隐秘的事被显露出来, 他就必俯伏敬拜神, 宣告说: “神真的是在你们中间了. ”

14:26 Therefore what should you do, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All things must be done for edification.
弟兄们, 那么应该怎么办呢? 你们聚集在一起的时候, 各人或有诗歌, 或有教训, 或有启示, 或有方言, 或有翻译出来的话, 一切都应该能造就人.

14:27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it must be on one occasion two or at most three, and one after the other, and one must interpret.
如果有人说方言, 只可以有两个人, 或最多三个人, 并且要轮流说, 同时要有一个人翻译.

14:28 But if there is no interpreter, he must be silent in the church, but let him speak to himself and to God.
如果没有人翻译, 他就应当在会中闭口, 只对自己和对神说好了.

14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and the others evaluate.
讲道的, 也只可以两三个人讲, 其余的人要衡量他们所讲的.

14:30 And if something is revealed to another who is seated, the first must be silent.
在座的有人得了启示, 那先讲的人就应当住口.

14:31 For you are all able to prophesy in turn, in order that all may learn and all may be encouraged,
因为你们都可以轮流讲道, 好让大家都可以学习, 都可以得到勉励.

14:32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
先知的灵是受先知控制的,

14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
因为神不是混乱的, 而是和平的.

14:34 the women must be silent in the churches, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but they must be in submission, just as the law also says.
妇女在聚会中应当闭口, 好像在圣徒的众教会中一样, 因为她们是不准讲话的; 就如律法所说的, 她们应该顺服.

14:35 But if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
如果她们想要学什么, 可以在家里问自己的丈夫, 因为妇女在聚会中讲话原是可耻的.

14:36 Or has the word of God gone out from you, or has it come to you only?
难道神的道是从你们出来的吗? 是单单临到你们的吗?

14:37 If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that the things which I am writing to you are of the Lord.
如果有人自以为是先知或是属灵的, 他就应该知道我写给你们的是主的命令;

14:38 But if anyone ignores this, he is ignored.
如果有人不理会, 别人也不必理会他.

14:39 So then, my brothers, desire to prophesy, and do not prevent speaking with tongues.
所以我的弟兄们, 你们要热切地追求讲道的恩赐, 也不要禁止说方言.

14:40 But let all things be done decently and according to proper procedure.
凡事都要规规矩矩地按着次序行.

I Corinthians - Chapter 15

15:1 Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you, which you have also received, in which you also stand,
弟兄们, 我要把我从前传给你们的福音向你们讲明. 这福音你们已经领受了, 并且靠着它站立得稳.

15:2 by which you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the message I proclaimed to you, unless you believed to no purpose.
你们若持守我所传给你们的道, 就必靠这福音得救, 不然就是徒然相信了.

15:3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
我从前领受了又传交给你们那最要紧的, 就是基督照着圣经所记的, 为我们的罪死了,

15:4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures,
又埋葬了, 又照着圣经所记的, 第三天复活了;

15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
并且曾经向矶法显现, 然后向十二使徒显现.

15:6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the majority of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.
以后又有一次向五百多个弟兄显现. 他们中间大多数到现今还在, 也有些已经睡了.

15:7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
以后也向雅各显现, 再后又向众使徒显现,

15:8 and last of all, as it were to one born at the wrong time, he appeared also to me.
最后也向我显现; 我好像一个未到产期而生的人.

15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
我原是使徒中最小的, 本来没有资格称为使徒, 因为我曾经迫害神的教会.

15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me.
然而靠着神的恩典, 我得以有了今天, 而且他赐给我的恩典并没有落空; 我比众使徒格外劳苦, 其实不是我, 而是神的恩典与我同在.

15:11 Therefore whether I or those, in this way we preached, and in this way you believed.
因此, 不论是我, 或是众使徒, 我们这样传, 你们也这样信了.

15:12 Now if Christ is preached as raised up from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
我们既然传基督从死人中复活了, 你们中间怎么有人说没有死人复活呢?

15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised either.
倘若没有死人复活的事, 基督也就没有复活了.

15:14 But if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain.
如果基督没有复活, 我们所传的就是枉然, 你们的信也是枉然,

15:15 And also we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if after all, then, the dead are not raised.
我们也会被人认为是替神作假见证的了, 因为我们为神作过见证说, 他使基督复活了. 如果死人没有复活, 神也就没有使基督复活了.

15:16 For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either.
因为如果死人没有复活, 基督也就没有复活.

15:17 But if Christ has not been raised, your faith is empty; you are still in your sins.
基督若没有复活, 你们的信就是徒然, 你们仍在你们的罪里.

15:18 And as a further result, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
那么, 在基督里睡了的人也就灭亡了.

15:19 If we have put our hope in Christ in this life only, we are of all people most pitiable.
如果我们在基督里只在今生有盼望, 就比所有人更可怜了.

15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
现在基督已经从死人中复活, 成为睡了的人初熟的果子.

15:21 For since through a man came death, also through a man came the resurrection of the dead.
死既借着一人而来, 死人复活也借着一人而来.

15:22 For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
在亚当里众人都死了, 照样, 在基督里众人也都要复活;

15:23 But each in his own group: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming,
只是各人要按着自己的次序: 初熟的果子是基督, 以后, 在他来的时候, 是那些属基督的人.

15:24 then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power.
再后, 末期到了的时候, 基督把所有的统治者,掌权者和有能者都毁灭了, 就把国度交给父神.

15:25 For it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
因为基督必要作王, 直到神把所有的仇敌都放在他的脚下.

15:26 The last enemy to be abolished is death.
最后要毁灭的仇敌就是死,

15:27 For “he subjected all things under his feet.” But when it says “all things” are subjected, it is clear that the one who subjected all things to him is not included.
因为经上记着说: “他使万物都服在他脚下. ”既然说万物都服了他, 显然那使万物服他的就不包括在内了.

15:28 But whenever all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected all things to him, in order that God may be all in all.
等到万物都服了他, 那时子自己也要服那位叫万物服他的, 好使神在万有之上.

15:29 Otherwise, why do they do it, those who are being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why indeed are they being baptized on behalf of them?
不然, 那些为死人受洗的, 是为了什么呢? 如果死人根本不会复活, 那么为什么要为他们受洗呢?

15:30 And why are we in danger every hour?
我们又为什么时刻冒险呢?

15:31 I die every day—yes indeed, by my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord!
弟兄们, 我是天天冒死的, 这是我凭着我在我们的主耶稣基督里, 因你们而夸口说的.

15:32 If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit is it to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
我在以弗所和野兽搏斗, 如果照着人的意思来看, 那对我有什么益处呢? 如果死人不会复活, “我们就吃吃喝喝吧, 因为我们明天就要死了. ”

15:33 Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
你们不要自欺, “滥交朋友是会败坏品德的. ”

15:34 Sober up correctly and stop sinning, for some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
你们理当醒悟过来, 不要犯罪, 因为你们中间有人不认识神; 我说这话是要你们羞愧.

15:35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?”
但有人会说: “死人怎样复活呢? 要带着怎么样的身体来呢? ”

15:36 Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
无知的人哪, 你所种的若不死去, 就不能生.

15:37 And what you sow is not the body which it will become, but you sow the bare seed, whether perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest.
你们所种的, 不是那将来要长成的形体, 只不过是一粒种子, 也许是麦子或别的种子.

15:38 But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body.
但神随着自己的意思给它一个形体, 给每一样种子各有自己的形体.

15:39 Not all flesh is the same, but there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh of animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish,
而且各种身体也都不一样, 人有人的身体, 兽有兽的身体, 鸟有鸟的身体, 鱼有鱼的身体.

15:40 and heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly bodies is of another kind.
有天上的形体, 也有地上的形体; 天上形体的荣光是一样, 地上形体的荣光又是一样.

15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.
太阳有太阳的荣光, 月亮有月亮的荣光, 星星有星星的荣光, 而且每一颗星的荣光也都不同.

15:42 Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
死人复活也是这样. 所种的是必朽坏的, 复活的是不朽坏的;

15:43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
所种的是卑贱的, 复活的是荣耀的; 所种的是软弱的, 复活的是有能力的;

15:44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
所种的是属血气的身体, 复活的是属灵的身体. 既然有属血气的身体, 也会有属灵的身体.

15:45 Thus also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
经上也是这样记着说: “第一个人亚当成了有生命的人, 末后的亚当成了使人活的灵. ”

15:46 But the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
但那首先的不是属灵的, 而是属血气的, 然后才有属灵的.

15:47 The first man is from the earth, made of earth; the second man is from heaven.
第一个人是出于地, 是属土的; 第二个人是出于天.

15:48 As the one who is made of earth, so also are those who are made of earth, and as the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.
那属土的怎样, 所有属土的也都怎样; 属天的怎样, 所有属天的也都怎样.

15:49 And just as we have borne the image of the one who is made of earth, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
我们既然有了属土的形象, 将来也必有属天的形象.

15:50 But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility.
弟兄们, 我告诉你们, 血肉之体不能承受神的国, 必朽坏的也不能承受那不朽坏的.

15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,
我现在把一个奥秘告诉你们: 我们不是都要睡觉, 而是在一剎那, 眨眼之间, 就是号角最后一次吹响的时候, 我们都要改变; 因为号角要吹响, 死人要复活, 成为不朽坏的, 我们也要改变.

15:52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
我现在把一个奥秘告诉你们: 我们不是都要睡觉, 而是在一剎那, 眨眼之间, 就是号角最后一次吹响的时候, 我们都要改变; 因为号角要吹响, 死人要复活, 成为不朽坏的, 我们也要改变.

15:53 For it is necessary for this perishable body to put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body to put on immortality.
这必朽坏的必须穿上不朽坏的, 这必死的必须穿上不死的;

15:54 But whenever this perishable body puts on incorruptibility and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: “Death is swallowed up in victory.
这必朽坏的既穿上了不朽坏的, 这必死的既穿上了不死的, 那时, 经上的话就应验了: “胜利了! 死亡已经被吞灭.

15:55 Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?
死亡啊! 你的胜利在哪里? 死亡啊! 你的毒刺在哪里? ”

15:56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
死的毒刺就是罪, 罪的权势就是律法.

15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
感谢神, 他借着我们的主耶稣基督, 把胜利赐给我们.

15:58 So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
所以, 我亲爱的弟兄们, 你们务要坚固, 不可动摇, 常常竭力多作主工, 因为知道你们的劳苦, 在主里面不是徒然的.

I Corinthians - Chapter 16

16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: just as I gave directions about it to the churches of Galatia, so you do also.
关于捐献给圣徒的事, 从前我怎样吩咐加拉太的众教会, 你们也要照着去行.

16:2 On the first day of the week, each one of you put aside something, saving up to whatever extent he has prospered, in order that whenever I come, at that time collections do not take place.
每逢七日的第一日, 你们各人要按着自己的收入抽一些出来留着, 免得我来的时候才现凑.

16:3 And whenever I arrive, whomever you approve by letters, I will send these to take your gift to Jerusalem.
我来到之后, 你们选中了什么人, 我就派他们带着书信, 把你们的捐款送到耶路撒冷去.

16:4 And if it is worthwhile for me to go also, they will travel with me.
如果我也应该去, 他们就可以和我一同去.

16:5 But I will come to you whenever I go through Macedonia (for I am going through Macedonia),
我现在正要路过马其顿. 过了马其顿, 我就会到你们那里去.

16:6 and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
我也许会和你们同住一些时候, 甚至和你们一同过冬; 这样, 我无论要到哪里去, 你们都可以给我送行.

16:7 For I do not want to see you now in passing, for I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord allows it.
我不愿意只是顺路见见你们, 主若许可, 我盼望和你们同住一个时期.

16:8 But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost,
不过我要在以弗所住到五旬节,

16:9 for a great and effective door has opened for me, and there are many opponents.
因为这里有又宽大又有果效的门为我开了, 同时反对的人也很多.

16:10 But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to fear, for he is carrying out the Lord’s work, as I also am.
如果提摩太来了, 你们务要使他在你们那里不会惧怕, 因为他像我一样是作主的工作的.

16:11 Therefore do not let anyone disdain him, but send him on his way in peace in order that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
所以, 谁也不要小看他. 你们要送他平平安安地前行, 使他到我这里来, 因为我正在等着他和弟兄们一同来.

16:12 Now concerning Apollos our brother, I urged him many times that he should come to you with the brothers, and he was not at all willing that he should come now, but he will come whenever he has an opportunity.
至于亚波罗弟兄, 我曾再三劝他要和弟兄们一同到你们那里去; 但他不愿意现在就去, 机会到了, 他是会去的.

16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act courageously, be strong.
你们要警醒, 要在信仰上站立得稳, 要作大丈夫, 要刚强.

16:14 All your actions must be done in love.
你们所作的一切, 都要凭爱心去作.

16:15 Now I urge you, brothers—you know about the household of Stephanas, that they are the first fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the ministry for the saints—
弟兄们, 你们知道司提反一家人是亚该亚初结的果子, 他们专心地服事圣徒.

16:16 that you also be subject to such people, and to all those who work together and labor.
我劝你们要顺服这样的人, 和所有与他们一同工作一同劳苦的人.

16:17 Now I rejoice over the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these make up for your absence,
司提反,福徒拿都和亚该古都来了, 所以我很快乐, 因为他们补上了你们的不足,

16:18 for they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such people.
使我和你们的心都得着畅快. 这样的人你们要敬重他们.

16:19 The churches of the province of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you in the Lord many times, together with the church in their house.
亚西亚的众教会都问候你们. 亚居拉和百基拉, 以及他们家里的教会在主里再三问候你们.

16:20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
所有的弟兄都问候你们. 你们要用圣洁的亲嘴彼此问安.

16:21 The greeting is by my hand—Paul’s.
我保罗亲笔问候你们.

16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
如果有人不爱主, 他就该受咒诅. 主啊, 愿你来!

16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
愿主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在.

16:24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
我的爱在基督耶稣里也与你们同在. (有古卷加“阿们”. )

II Corinthians (歌林多后书)

II Corinthians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in all Achaia.
奉神旨意作基督耶稣使徒的保罗, 和提摩太弟兄, 写信给在哥林多神的教会, 和全亚该亚所有的圣徒.

1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督临到你们.

1:3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
我们主耶稣基督的父神是应当称颂的. 他是满有怜悯的父, 赐各样安慰的神.

1:4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in all affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
我们在一切患难中, 神都安慰我们, 使我们能用他所赐的安慰, 去安慰那些在各样患难中的人.

1:5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, thus through Christ our comfort overflows also.
我们既然多受基督所受的痛苦, 就靠着基督多得安慰.

1:6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort that is at work in the patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.
如果我们遭遇患难, 那是要使你们得着安慰, 得着拯救; 如果我们得到安慰, 也是要使你们得到安慰. 这安慰使你们能够忍受我们所受那样的痛苦.

1:7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that as you are sharers in the sufferings, so also you will be sharers in the comfort.
我们对你们的盼望是坚定的, 因为知道你们既然一同受痛苦, 也必照样同得安慰.

1:8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning our affliction that happened in the province of Asia, that we were burdened to an extraordinary degree, beyond our strength, so that we were in despair even of living.
弟兄们, 我们在亚西亚遭受的患难, 我们很想让你们知道. 那时我们受到了过于我们所能忍受的压力, 甚至活下去的希望都没有了,

1:9 But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we would not be putting confidence in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
而且断定自己是必死的了; 然而, 这正是要我们不倚靠自己, 只倚靠那叫死人复活的神.

1:10 who delivered us from so great a risk of death, and will deliver us, in whom we have put our hope that he will also deliver us again,
他救我们脱离了那极大的死亡, 而且他还要救我们, 我们希望他将来仍要救我们.

1:11 while you also join in helping on our behalf by prayer, so that thanks may be given on our behalf by many persons for this gracious gift given to us through the help of many.
请你们一同用祷告支持我们, 好使许多人为着我们所蒙的恩献上感谢. 这恩是借着许多人的代求而得到的.

1:12 For our reason for boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, in holiness and purity of motive from God, not in merely human wisdom, but by the grace of God.
我们引以为荣的, 就是我们处世为人, 是本着神的圣洁和真诚, 不是靠着人的聪明, 而是靠着神的恩典, 对你们更是这样, 这是我们的良心可以作证的.

1:13 For we are not writing anything else to you except what you can read or also understand. But I hope that you will understand completely,
我们现在写给你们的, 不外是你们可以宣读,可以明白的.

1:14 just as you have also understood us in part, that we are your reason for boasting, just as you are also ours in the day of our Lord Jesus.
正如你们对我们已经有些认识, 我盼望你们可以彻底明白: 在我们的主耶稣的日子, 我们是你们的光荣, 你们也是我们的光荣.

1:15 And with this confidence, I was wanting to come to you previously, in order that you may have a second proof of my goodwill,
我既然有这样的信念, 就打算先到你们那里, 使你们再一次得到恩惠,

1:16 and through you to go to Macedonia, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent on my way by you to Judea.
然后经过你们那里, 往马其顿去, 再从马其顿回到你们中间, 让你们给我送行往犹太去.

1:17 Therefore, when I was wanting to do this, perhaps then was I making use of vacillation? Or was I deciding what I was deciding according to the flesh, in order that with me my “yes” may be “yes” and my “no” may be “no” at the same time?
我这样决定, 难道是反复不定吗? 我所决定的, 难道是体贴肉体而定, 使我忽是忽非吗?

1:18 But God is faithful, so that our word to you is not “yes” and “no.”
神是信实的, 我们向你们所传的道并不是“是”而又“非”的,

1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become “yes” and “no,” but has become “yes” in him.
因为我,西拉和提摩太, 在你们中间所宣扬的耶稣基督, 神的儿子, 并不是“是”而又“非”的, 在他总是“是”的.

1:20 For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are “yes”; therefore also through him is the “amen” to the glory of God through us.
因为神的一切应许, 在基督里都是“是”的, 为此我们借着他说“阿们”, 使荣耀归于神.

1:21 Now the one who establishes us together with you in Christ and who anoints us is God,
那在基督里坚定我们和你们, 又膏抹我们的, 就是神.

1:22 who also sealed us and gave the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
他在我们身上盖了印, 就是赐圣灵在我们心里作凭据.

1:23 But I call upon God as witness against my life, that in order to spare you, I did not come again to Corinth.
我呼求神给我作证, 我没有再到哥林多来, 是要宽容你们.

1:24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers for your joy, because by faith you stand firm.
我们并不是要辖制你们的信仰, 而是要作你们的同工, 使你们喜乐, 因为你们在信仰上已经站稳了.

II Corinthians - Chapter 2

2:1 For I have decided this for myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.
我自己决定了, 到你们那里去的时候, 不再是忧愁的.

2:2 For if I cause you sorrow, then who will make me glad except the one who is caused to be sad by me?
如果我使你们忧愁, 除了那因我而忧愁的人以外, 谁能使我快乐呢?

2:3 And I wrote this very thing in order that when I came, I would not experience sorrow from those who ought to have made me glad, because I have confidence about you all, that my joy belongs to all of you.
我写了这样的信, 免得我来的时候, 应该使我快乐的人反而使我忧愁; 我深信你们众人都以我的喜乐为你们的喜乐.

2:4 For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not so that you may be caused to be sad, but so that you may know the love that I have especially for you.
我从前心里痛苦难过, 流着眼泪写信给你们, 并不是要使你们忧愁, 而是要你们知道我是多么爱你们.

2:5 But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused me sorrow, but to some degree—in order not to say too much—to all of you.
如果有人使人忧愁, 他不是使我忧愁, 而是使你们众人都有一点忧愁; 我只说有一点, 是避免说得过分.

2:6 This punishment by the majority is sufficient for such a person.
这样的人受了许多人的责备, 也就够了,

2:7 So then, you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest somehow this person should be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
倒不如饶恕他, 安慰他, 免得他因忧愁过度而受不了.

2:8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love for him.
所以, 我劝你们要向他确实显明你们的爱心.

2:9 Because for this reason also I wrote, in order that I could know your proven character, whether you are obedient in everything.
为这缘故, 我写了那封信, 要考验你们是不是凡事都顺从.

2:10 Now to whomever you forgive anything, I also do; for indeed, whatever I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sake in the presence of Christ,
你们饶恕谁, 我也饶恕谁; 我所饶恕了的(如果我饶恕过什么), 是为了你们在基督面前饶恕的,

2:11 in order that we may not be exploited by Satan (for we are not ignorant of his schemes).
免得撒但有机可乘, 因为我们并不是不晓得他的诡计.

2:12 Now when I arrived in Troas for the gospel of Christ and a door was opened for me by the Lord,
从前我为基督的福音到了特罗亚, 虽然主给我开了门,

2:13 I did not experience rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother, but saying farewell to them, I departed for Macedonia.
我心里仍然没有安宁, 因为见不到提多弟兄. 于是我辞别了那里的人, 到马其顿去了.

2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and who reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of him through us in every place.
感谢神, 他常常在基督里, 使我们这些作俘虏的, 列在凯旋的队伍当中, 又借着我们在各地散播香气, 就是使人认识基督.

2:15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,
因为无论在得救的人或灭亡的人中间, 我们都是基督的馨香, 是献给神的.

2:16 to those on the one hand an odor from death to death, and to those on the other hand a fragrance from life to life. And who is qualified for these things?
对于灭亡的人, 这是死亡的气味叫人死; 对于得救的人, 这却是生命的香气使人活. 这些事谁够资格作呢?

2:17 For we are not like the majority who peddle the word of God, but as from pure motives—but as from God—we speak before God in Christ.
我们不像那许多的人, 为了图利而谬讲神的道. 相反地, 我们讲话, 是出于真诚, 出于神, 是在神面前,在基督里的.

II Corinthians - Chapter 3

3:1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we, like some, need letters of recommendation to you or from you?
难道我们又在自我推荐吗? 难道我们像有些人, 要拿荐信给你们, 或向你们拿荐信吗?

3:2 You are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by all people,
你们就是我们的荐信, 写在我们的心里, 是众人所认识所诵读的,

3:3 revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts.
显明你们自己是基督的书信, 是借着我们写成的, 不是用墨, 而是用永活神的灵写的; 不是写在石版上, 而是写在心版上.

3:4 Now we possess such confidence through Christ toward God.
我们在神面前, 借着基督才有这样的信心.

3:5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
我们不敢以为自己有资格作什么, 我们所能够作的是出于神.

3:6 who also makes us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
他使我们有资格作新约的仆役, 这新约不是从仪文来的, 而是从圣灵来的; 因为仪文会使人死, 而圣灵却使人活.

3:7 But if the ministry of death in letters carved on stone came with glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look intently into the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, which was transitory,
如果那以文字刻在石上使人死的律法的工作, 尚且带有荣光, 以致以色列人因着摩西脸上短暂的荣光, 不能注视他的脸,

3:8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be even more with glory?
那出于圣灵的工作不是更有荣光吗?

3:9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, by much more will the ministry of righteousness overflow with glory.
如果那定人有罪的工作尚且有荣光, 那使人称义的工作就更有荣光了!

3:10 For indeed what had been glorified has not been glorified in this case, on account of the glory that surpasses it.
那从前有荣光的, 现在因那超越的荣光, 就算不得有荣光;

3:11 For if what was transitory came with glory, by much more what remains is with glory.
如果那短暂的有荣光, 那长存的就更有荣光了.

3:12 Therefore, because we have such a hope, we use much boldness,
所以, 我们既然有这样的盼望, 就大大地放胆行事,

3:13 and not as Moses used to place a veil over his face, in order that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was transitory.
不像摩西那样, 把帕子蒙在脸上, 使以色列人看不见那短暂的荣光的结局.

3:14 But their minds were hardened. For until this very day, the same veil remains upon the reading of the old covenant, not being uncovered, because it is done away with in Christ.
但是他们的心思迟钝, 因为直到今日, 他们诵读旧约的时候, 这帕子仍然存在, 没有揭开, 唯有在基督里才能把这帕子废掉.

3:15 But until today, whenever Moses is read aloud, a veil lies upon their heart,
可是直到今日, 他们每逢诵读摩西的书的时候, 这帕子还盖在他们的心上.

3:16 but whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
但他们什么时候归向主, 这帕子就什么时候除掉了.

3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
主就是那灵; 主的灵在哪里, 哪里就有自由.

3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory into glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
我们众人脸上的帕子既然已经揭开, 反映主的荣光(“反映主的荣光”或译: “对着镜子看见主的荣光”), 就变成主那样的形象, 大有荣光. 这是主所作成的, 他就是那灵.

II Corinthians - Chapter 4

4:1 Because of this, since we have this ministry, just as we have been shown mercy, we do not lose heart,
所以, 我们既然蒙了怜悯, 得着这职分, 就不沮丧,

4:2 but we have renounced shameful hidden things, not behaving with craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but with the open proclamation of the truth commending ourselves to every person’s conscience before God.
却把暗昧可耻的事弃绝了; 不行诡诈, 不掺混神的道, 反而借着显扬真理, 在神面前把自己推荐给众人的良心.

4:3 But if indeed our gospel is veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing,
如果我们的福音被蒙蔽了, 那是对灭亡的人才蒙蔽的.

4:4 among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they would not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
这些不信的人被这世代的神弄瞎了他们的心眼, 使他们看不见基督荣耀的福音的光; 基督就是神的形象.

4:5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus.
我们并不是传扬自己, 而是传扬耶稣基督是主, 并且为了耶稣的缘故成了你们的仆人.

4:6 For God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” is the one who has shined in our hearts for the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
因为那说“要有光从黑暗里照出来”的神, 已经照在我们的心里, 要我们把神的荣光照出去, 就是使人可以认识那在基督脸上的荣光.

4:7 But we have this treasure in earthenware jars, in order that the extraordinary degree of the power may be from God and not from us.
我们有这宝贝在瓦器里, 是要显明这极大的能力是属于神, 不是出于我们.

4:8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
我们虽然四面受压, 却没有压碎; 心里作难, 却不至绝望,

4:9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;
受到迫害, 却没有被丢弃; 打倒了, 却不至死亡.

4:10 always carrying around the death of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
我们身上常常带着耶稣的死, 好让耶稣的生也在我们的身上显明出来.

4:11 For we who are alive are continually being handed over to death because of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh.
我们这些活着的人, 为耶稣的缘故常常被人置于死地, 好让耶稣的生也在我们必死的身上显明出来.

4:12 So then, death is at work in us, but life in you.
这样看来, 死在我们身上运行, 生却在你们的身上运行.

4:13 But because we have the same spirit of faith in accordance with what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,
经上记着说: “我信, 所以我说话. ”我们既然有同样的信心(“信心”原文作“信心的灵”), 也就信, 所以也说话,

4:14 because we know that the one who raised Jesus will also raise us together with Jesus and present us together with you.
因为知道那使主耶稣复活的, 也必定使我们与耶稣一同复活, 并且把我们和你们呈献在他的面前.

4:15 For all these things are for your sake, in order that the grace that is increasing through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
这一切都是为了你们, 好使恩惠既然因着许多人而增多, 感恩的心也更加增多了, 使荣耀归给神.

4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outer person is being destroyed, yet our inner person is being renewed day after day.
所以, 我们并不沮丧, 我们外面的人虽然渐渐朽坏, 但里面的人却日日更新,

4:17 For our momentary light affliction is producing in us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure and proportion,
因为我们短暂轻微的患难, 是要为我们成就极大无比,永远的荣耀.

4:18 because we are not looking at what is seen, but what is not seen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is not seen is eternal.
我们所顾念的, 不是看得见的, 而是看不见的; 因为看得见的是暂时的, 看不见的是永远的.

II Corinthians - Chapter 5

5:1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.
我们知道, 如果我们在地上的帐棚拆毁了, 我们必得着从神而来的居所. 那不是人手所造的, 而是天上永存的房屋.

5:2 For indeed, in this house we groan, because we desire to put on our dwelling from heaven,
我们现今在这帐棚里面叹息, 渴望迁到那天上的住处, 好像换上新的衣服;

5:3 if indeed, even after we have taken it off, we will not be found naked.
如果穿上了, 就不会赤身出现了.

5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent groan, being burdened for this reason, that we do not want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, in order that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
我们这些在帐棚里面的人, 劳苦叹息, 是由于不愿意脱去这个, 却愿意穿上那个, 使这必死的被生命吞灭.

5:5 Now the one who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the down payment, the Spirit.
那在我们身上完成了工作, 使我们达成这目标的, 就是神. 他已经把圣灵赐给我们作凭据.

5:6 Therefore, although we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—
我们既然一向都是坦然无惧的, 又知道住在身内就是与主分开

5:7 for we live by faith, not by sight—
(因为我们行事是凭着信心, 不是凭着眼见),

5:8 so we are confident and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
现在还是坦然无惧, 宁愿与身体分开, 与主同住.

5:9 Therefore indeed we have as our ambition, whether at home in the body or absent from the body, to be acceptable to him.
因此, 我们立定志向, 无论住在身内或是与身体分开, 都要讨主的喜悦.

5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive back the things through the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
因为我们众人都必须在基督的审判台前显露出来, 使各人按着本身所行的, 或善或恶, 受到报应.

5:11 Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we are attempting to persuade people, but we are revealed to God, and I hope to be revealed in your consciences.
我们既然知道主是可畏的, 就劝勉众人. 我们在神面前是显明的, 我盼望在你们的良心里也是显明的.

5:12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to boast about us, in order that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
我们不是又再向你们推荐自己, 而是给你们机会以我们为乐, 使你们可以应付那些只夸外貌不夸内心的人.

5:13 For if we are out of our senses, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
如果我们疯狂, 那是为了神; 如果我们清醒, 那是为了你们.

5:14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one died for all; as a result all died.
原来基督的爱催逼着我们, 因为我们断定一个人替众人死了, 众人就都死了.

5:15 And he died for all, in order that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised.
他替众人死了, 为的是要使活着的人不再为自己活着, 却为那替他们死而复活的主而活.

5:16 So then, from now on we know no one from a human point of view, if indeed we have known Christ from a human point of view, but now we know him this way no longer.
所以, 从今以后, 我们不再按照人的看法认识人; 虽然我们曾经按照人的看法认识基督, 但现在不再这样了.

5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
如果有人在基督里, 他就是新造的人, 旧事已经过去, 你看, 都变成新的了!

5:18 And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
这一切都是出于神, 他借着基督使我们与他自己和好, 并且把这和好的职分赐给我们,

5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
就是神在基督里使世人与他自己和好, 不再追究他们的过犯, 并且把和好的道理托付了我们.

5:20 Therefore we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as if God were imploring you through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
因此, 我们就是基督的使者, 神借着我们劝告世人. 我们代替基督请求你们: 跟神和好吧!

5:21 He made the one who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, in order that we could become the righteousness of God in him.
神使那无罪的替我们成为有罪的, 使我们在他里面成为神的义.

II Corinthians - Chapter 6

6:1 Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
我们这些与神同工的, 也劝你们不要白受神的恩典.

6:2 For he says, “At the acceptable time I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation!
因为他说: “在悦纳的时候, 我应允了你; 在拯救的日子, 我帮助了你. ”看哪! 现在就是悦纳的时候, 现在就是拯救的日子.

6:3 We are giving no one an occasion for taking offense in anything, in order that our ministry will not have fault found with it,
我们凡事都没有妨碍人, 不让这职分受到毁谤,

6:4 but commending ourselves as servants of God in every way, in much endurance, in afflictions, in distresses, in difficulties,
反而在各样的事上, 表明自己是神的仆人, 就如持久的忍耐,患难,贫乏,困苦,

6:5 in beatings, in prisons, in disturbances, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in going hungry,
鞭打,监禁,扰乱,劳苦,不睡觉,禁食,

6:6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love without hypocrisy,
纯洁,知识,容忍,恩慈,圣灵,无伪的爱心,

6:7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and left hand,
真理的道,神的大能等事上; 并且是借着左右两手中公义的武器,

6:8 through glory and dishonor, through slander and good repute, regarded as deceivers and yet truthful,
借着荣耀和羞辱,坏名声和好名誉. 我们好像是骗人的, 却是真诚的,

6:9 as unknown and yet known completely, as dying, and behold, we go on living, as disciplined, and yet not put to death,
好像是人所不知的, 却是人所共知的; 好像是必死的, 你看, 我们却是活着的; 好像是受惩罚的, 却没有处死;

6:10 as grieving, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and possessing everything.
好像忧愁, 却是常常喜乐的; 好像贫穷, 却使很多人富足; 好像是什么都没有, 却是样样都有.

6:11 We have spoken freely and openly to you, Corinthians; our heart is open wide.
哥林多人哪! 我们对你们, 口是坦率的, 心是宽宏的.

6:12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your affections.
并不是我们对你们器量小, 而是你们自己心胸狭窄.

6:13 Now the same way in exchange (I am speaking as to children), you open wide your hearts also.
你们也要照样以宽宏的心对待我们, 这话正像是我对儿女说的.

6:14 Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers, for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
你们和不信的人不可共负一轭, 义和不法有什么相同呢? 光明和黑暗怎能相通呢?

6:15 And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what share does a believer have with an unbeliever?
基督和彼列(“彼列”是撒但的别名)怎能和谐呢? 信的和不信的有什么联系呢?

6:16 And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them and will walk about among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.”
神的殿和偶像怎能协调呢? 我们就是永生神的殿, 正如神说: “我要住在他们中间, 在他们中间来往; 我要作他们的神, 他们要作我的子民. ”

6:17 Therefore “come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord, “and do not touch what is unclean, and I will welcome you,
所以, “主说: 你们要从他们中间出来, 和他们分开, 不可触摸不洁净的东西, 我就收纳你们. ”

6:18 and I will be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me,” says the all-powerful Lord.
“我要作你们的父亲, 你们要作我的儿女. 这是全能的主说的. ”

II Corinthians - Chapter 7

7:1 Therefore since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of body and spirit, accomplishing holiness in the fear of God.
所以, 亲爱的, 我们有了这些应许, 就应该洁净自己, 除去身体和心灵上的一切污秽, 存着敬畏神的心, 达到成圣的地步.

7:2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have defrauded no one.
你们的心要容得下我们. 我们没有亏负过谁, 没有损害过谁, 也没有占过谁的便宜.

7:3 I do not say this to condemn you, because I have already said that you are in our hearts, so that we die together and we live together.
我这样说, 不是要定你们的罪, 因为我从前说过, 你们常在我们心里, 甚至可以同生共死.

7:4 Great is my confidence toward you; great is my boasting on your behalf; I am filled with encouragement; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.
我对你们大有信心, 因你们而感到十分光荣; 我心里满有安慰, 在我们的一切患难中, 格外充满喜乐.

7:5 For even when we arrived in Macedonia, our body had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way—quarrels outside, fears within.
我们从前到了马其顿的时候, 身体一点安宁也没有, 反而处处遭受患难, 外面有争战, 里面有恐惧.

7:6 But God, who comforts the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
但那安慰灰心的人的神, 借着提多来到, 安慰了我们;

7:7 and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted among you, because he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.
不但借着他来, 也借着他从你们所得的安慰, 安慰了我们. 他把你们的渴望,你们的哀恸和你们对我的热诚, 都告诉了我们, 因此我就更加欢喜了.

7:8 For if indeed I grieved you by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I did regret it (I see that that letter grieved you, even though for a short time),
虽然我在那封信上使你们忧伤, 但我现在并不后悔; 其实我曾经有点后悔, 因为知道那封信使你们忧伤, 虽然只是暂时的.

7:9 now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved according to the will of God, so that you suffered loss in no way through us.
现在我快乐, 不是因为你们忧伤, 而是因为你们的忧伤带来了悔改. 你们依照神的意思忧伤, 凡事就不会因我们受到亏损.

7:10 For grief according to the will of God brings about a repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted, but worldly grief brings about death.
因为依照神的意思而有的忧伤, 可以生出没有懊悔的悔改, 以致得救; 世俗的忧伤却会招致死亡.

7:11 For behold how much diligence this very thing, being grieved according to the will of God, has brought about in you: what defense of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! In everything you have demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
看哪, 你们依照神的意思忧伤, 在你们中间就产生了怎样的热情,申诉,愤慨,战兢,渴望,热诚,正义; 你们在各方面都表明了自己在那事上是清白的.

7:12 Consequently, even if I wrote to you, it was not because of the one who did wrong or because of the one who had been wronged, but in order that your diligence on our behalf might be revealed to you before God.
因此, 从前我虽然写过信给你们, 却不是为了那亏负人的, 也不是为了那受害的, 而是在神面前把你们对我们的热情, 向你们显现出来.

7:13 Because of this we have been encouraged, and in addition to our encouragement, we rejoiced much more over the joy of Titus, because his spirit had been refreshed by all of you.
因此, 我们得了安慰. 在这安慰之外, 我们因提多的喜乐就更加欢喜, 因为他的心从你们众人那里得到畅快.

7:14 For if I have boasted anything to him about you, I have not been put to shame, but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, thus also our boasting to Titus has proven to be true.
我若对他夸奖过你们什么, 也不觉得惭愧. 我们对你们所说的是真话, 照样, 我们在提多面前夸奖你们的也是真的.

7:15 And his affection for you is all the more when he remembers the obedience of all of you as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
并且他想起你们众人的服从, 怎样恐惧战兢地接待他, 他怀念你们的心就更加热切了.

7:16 I rejoice, because in everything I am completely confident in you.
现在我很欢喜, 因为在一切事上我对你们都有信心.

II Corinthians - Chapter 8

8:1 Now we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,
弟兄们, 我现在把神赐给马其顿众教会的恩典告诉你们:

8:2 that with a great ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and the extreme depth of their poverty have overflowed to the wealth of their generosity.
他们在患难中受到极大的考验的时候, 他们满溢的喜乐和极度的贫乏, 汇流出丰厚的慷慨来.

8:3 I testify that they gave according to their ability, and beyond their ability, by their own choice,
我可以作证, 他们是按着能力, 并且是超过了能力,

8:4 requesting of us with much exhortation the favor and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints,
自动地再三恳求我们, 准许他们在供应圣徒的事上有分.

8:5 and not just as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, by the will of God.
他们超过了我们所期望的, 照着神的旨意, 先把自己献给主, 然后献给我们.

8:6 So we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun it, thus he would also complete for you this act of grace.
因此, 我们勉励提多, 既然开始了这慈善的事, 就应当在你们那里把这事办好.

8:7 But just as you excel in everything—in faith and in speaking and in knowledge and with all diligence and in the love from us that is in you—so may you excel in this grace also.
你们在一切事上, 就如信心,口才,知识,热情和爱我们的心, 既然都是富足的, 那么, 在这慈善的事上, 也要显出你们是富足的.

8:8 I am not saying this as a command, but proving the genuineness of your love by means of the diligence of others.
我这样说, 不是吩咐你们, 而是借着别人的热心来考验你们的爱心是否真实.

8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, for your sake he became poor, in order that you, by his poverty, may become rich.
你们是知道我们的主耶稣基督的恩典的: 他本来富足, 却为你们成了贫穷, 要使你们因他的贫穷成为富足.

8:10 And I am giving an opinion in this matter, because this is profitable for you who not only began previously, a year ago, to do something, but also to want to do it.
我在这里表示我的意见, 这对你们是有益的: 你们不仅一年前就在办这事, 而且早就想这样作了,

8:11 So now also complete the doing of it, in order that just as you have the eagerness to want to do it, thus also you may complete it from what you have.
现在就应当把这事办好; 这样, 你们既然有愿意作的心, 因着你们尽了自己所能的, 就可以完成.

8:12 For if the eagerness is present according to what one has, it is acceptable not according to what one does not have.
因为人要是有愿意作的心, 按照他所有的, 必蒙悦纳, 不是按照他所没有的.

8:13 For this is not that for others there may be relief, and for you difficult circumstances, but as a matter of equality.
这不是要别人轻省, 你们受累, 而是要大家都均等.

8:14 At the present time your abundance will be for their need, in order that their abundance may also be for your need, so that there may be equality,
现在你们富裕, 就要补助他们的缺乏, 到了他们富裕的时候, 也可以补助你们的缺乏, 这样就均等了;

8:15 just as it is written, “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”
正如经上所记: “多的, 没有剩余, 少的, 也不缺乏. ”

8:16 But thanks be to God, who has put in the heart of Titus the same devotion on your behalf,
感谢神, 他把我对你们那样的热情, 放在提多的心里.

8:17 because he not only welcomed our request, but being very earnest, by his own choice he went out to you.
提多一方面接受了劝勉, 但他自己更加热心, 自愿到你们那里去.

8:18 And we have sent at the same time with him the brother whose praise in the gospel has become known throughout all the churches.
我们还派了一位弟兄和他同去, (这人在福音的事工上, 得到了众教会的称赞.

8:19 And not only this, but he was also chosen by the churches as our traveling companion together with this gift that is being administered by us to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.
不但这样, 众教会更选派了他作我们的旅伴. 我们办理这慈善的事, 是为了主的荣耀, 也是为了我们的心愿. )

8:20 We are trying to avoid this, lest anyone should find fault with us in this abundant gift that is being administered by us.
免得有人因为我们经管的捐款太多, 就毁谤我们.

8:21 For we are taking into consideration what is honorable not only before the Lord, but also before people.
因为我们努力去作的, 不仅是主认为是美的事, 也是众人认为是美的事.

8:22 And we are sending with them our brother whom we have tested many times in many things that he is diligent, but now much more diligent because of his great confidence in you.
我们还派了另一位弟兄与他们同去; 我们在许多的事上多次考验过他, 知道他很热心; 现在他对你们大有信心, 就更加热心了.

8:23 If there is a question concerning Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. If there is a question concerning our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
至于提多, 他是我的同伴, 为你们的缘故作了我的同工; 还有我们那两位弟兄, 他们是众教会所派的, 是基督的荣耀.

8:24 Therefore show to them the proof of your love and our boasting about you openly before the churches.
所以, 你们要在众教会面前, 向他们证明你们的爱心和我们所夸耀你们的.

II Corinthians - Chapter 9

9:1 For it is unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the ministry to the saints,
关于供应圣徒的事, 我本来没有写信给你们的必要,

9:2 because I know your readiness to help, concerning which I keep on boasting to the Macedonians about you, that Achaia has been ready to help since last year, and your zeal has stirred up the majority of them.
因为我知道你们有这个心愿. 我对马其顿人称赞你们, 说: “亚该亚人去年已经预备好了. ”你们的热心就激励了许多的人.

9:3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you would not prove to be empty in this case, so that you may be prepared just as I was saying,
我派了那几位弟兄前来, 为了要使我们在这事上对你们的称赞不至落空, 好让你们可以照着我所说的准备妥当,

9:4 lest somehow if Macedonians should come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to speak of you—would be humiliated in connection with this project.
免得一旦马其顿人和我一同来到的时候, 见你们还没有准备好, 我们就因为这样信任你们而感到羞愧, 你们就更不用说了.

9:5 Therefore I considered it necessary to urge the brothers that they should go on ahead to you and make arrangements in advance for your generous gift that was promised previously, so this would be prepared as a generous gift and not as grudgingly granted.
因此, 我认为必须劝那几位弟兄先到你们那里去, 使你们事先筹足从前所答应的捐款. 那么, 你们这样的准备, 就是出于乐意的, 不是勉强的.

9:6 Now the point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
还有, 少种的少收, 多种的多收.

9:7 Each one should give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or from compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
各人要照着心里所决定的捐输, 不要为难, 不必勉强, 因为捐得乐意的人, 是神所喜爱的.

9:8 And God is able to cause all grace to abound to you, so that in everything at all times, because you have enough of everything, you may overflow in every good work.
神能把各样的恩惠多多地加给你们, 使你们凡事常常充足, 多作各样的善事.

9:9 Just as it is written, “He scattered widely, he gave to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.”
如经上所说: “他广施钱财, 赒济穷人; 他的仁义, 存到永远. ”

9:10 Now the one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed, and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow,
但那赐种子给撒种的, 又赐食物给人吃的神, 必定把种子加倍地供给你们, 也必增添你们的义果.

9:11 being made rich in every way for all generosity, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God,
你们既然凡事富裕, 就可以慷慨地捐输, 使众人借着我们, 对神生出感谢的心.

9:12 because the service of this ministry is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but also is overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
因为这供应的事, 不仅补足了圣徒的缺乏, 也使许多人对神感谢的心格外增多.

9:13 Through the proven character of this service they will glorify God because of the submission of your confession to the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your participation toward them and toward everyone,
众圣徒因为你们承认和服从了基督的福音, 并且慷慨地捐输给他们和众人, 借着你们在这供应的事上所得的凭据, 就把荣耀归给神.

9:14 and they are longing for you in their prayers for you, because of the surpassing grace of God to you.
因着神在你们身上的厚恩, 他们就为你们祷告, 切切地想念你们.

9:15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
感谢神, 他的恩赐难以形容.

II Corinthians - Chapter 10

10:1 Now I, Paul, appeal to you myself by the humility and gentleness of Christ, who when I am present in person am humble among you, but when I am absent am bold toward you—
我保罗与你们见面的时候是谦卑的, 不在你们那里的时候, 却是放胆的. 现在我亲自以基督的谦逊温柔劝你们,

10:2 now I ask when I am present that I will not need to be bold with the confidence with which I propose to show boldness toward some who consider us as behaving according to the flesh.
求你们使我在你们那里的时候, 不要满有自信地放胆对你们, 我认为要以这样的自信, 勇敢地对付那些以为我们是照着世俗的标准(“世俗的标准”原文作“肉体”)行事的人.

10:3 For although we are living in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh,
我们虽然在世上行事, 却不是按照世俗的方式作战,

10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not merely human, but powerful to God for the tearing down of fortresses, tearing down arguments
因为我们作战所用的兵器, 不是属于这世界的, 而是在神面前有能力的, 可以攻陷坚固的堡垒,

10:5 and all pride that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
攻破诡辩, 和做来阻挡人认识神的一切高墙, 并且把一切心意夺回来, 顺服基督.

10:6 And we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is completed.
我们已经准备好了, 等你们完全顺服的时候, 就惩罚所有不顺从的人.

10:7 You are looking at things according to appearance. If anyone is convinced he himself is Christ’s, he should consider this concerning himself again: that just as Christ himself is, so also are we.
你们看事情, 只看表面. 如果有人自信是属于基督的, 他就应该再想一想: 他是属于基督的, 同样, 我们也是属于基督的.

10:8 For even if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be put to shame,
主把权柄赐给我们, 是为了要造就你们, 不是要破坏你们, 就算我为这权柄夸口过分了一点, 也不会觉得惭愧.

10:9 so that I do not want to appear as if I were terrifying you by my letters,
不要以为我写信是用来吓你们.

10:10 because it is said, “His letters are severe and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech is of no account.”
因为有人说: “他的信又严厉又强硬, 他本人却气貌不扬, 言语粗俗. ”

10:11 Let such a person consider this: that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, we will also be in actions when we are present.
说这话的人要想一想, 我们不在你们那里的时候, 信上怎样写, 我们来到的时候也会怎样作.

10:12 For we do not dare to classify or to compare ourselves with some who commend themselves, but they themselves, when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, do not understand.
我们不敢和那些自我推荐的人相提并论; 他们拿自己来量自己, 拿自己来比自己, 实在不大聪明.

10:13 But we will not boast beyond limits, but according to the measure of the assignment that God has assigned to us as a measure to reach even as far as you.
我们所夸的, 并没有越过范围, 而是在神量给我们的界限之内; 这界限一直延伸到你们那里.

10:14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we had not reached you, because we have reached even as far as you with the gospel of Christ,
如果我们没有到过你们那里, 现在就自夸得过分了; 但事实上, 我们早就把基督的福音传到你们那里了.

10:15 not boasting beyond limits in the labors of others, but having hope that as your faith is growing to be enlarged greatly by you according to our assignment,
我们并没有越过范围, 拿别人的劳苦来夸口. 我们盼望随着你们信心的增长, 我们的界限就因你们而大大扩展,

10:16 so that we may proclaim the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast in the things accomplished in the area assigned to someone else.
使我们可以把福音传到你们以外的地方. 别人在他的界限以内所完成的工作, 我们不会拿来夸口的.

10:17 But “the one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
夸口的应当靠着主夸口,

10:18 For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
因为蒙悦纳的, 不是自我推荐的人, 而是主所推荐的人.

II Corinthians - Chapter 11

11:1 I wish that you would put up with me in something a little foolish—but indeed you are putting up with me.
请你们容忍我这一点点的愚昧, 其实你们本来就是容忍我的.

11:2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
我以神的热爱爱你们, 因为我把你们献给基督, 好像把贞洁的童女许配给一个丈夫.

11:3 But I am afraid lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds may be led astray from the sincerity and the purity of devotion to Christ.
我只怕你们的心受到引诱, 失去对基督的单纯和贞洁, 好像蛇用诡计骗了夏娃一样.

11:4 For if the one who comes proclaims another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed, or you receive a different spirit which you did not receive, or a different gospel which you did not accept, you put up with it well enough!
如果有人来传讲另一位耶稣, 不是我们传过的, 或者你们接受另一个不同的灵, 不是你们领受过的, 又或者接受另一个不同的福音, 不是你们接受过的, 你们倒可以容忍得下!

11:5 For I consider myself in no way to be inferior to the preeminent apostles.
但我认为自己没有一点比不上那些“超等使徒”;

11:6 But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; certainly in everything we have made this clear to you in every way.
虽然我不善于辞令, 却是有学问的, 我们在各方面, 已经向你们清楚显明了.

11:7 Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself in order that you may be exalted, because I proclaimed the gospel of God to you without payment?
我贬低自己, 使你们高升, 把神的福音白白地传给你们, 我这样是犯罪吗?

11:8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them for the ministry to you.
我为了服事你们, 就接受了别的教会的供应, 也可以说是剥削了他们.

11:9 And when I was present with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself from being a burden.
我在你们那里有缺乏的时候, 并没有连累任何人, 因为从马其顿来的弟兄们, 补足了我的缺乏. 我在各方面都不让自己成为你们的重担, 将来也是一样.

11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.
我有基督的真理在我里面, 在亚该亚一带没有人能阻止我这样夸口.

11:11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
为什么呢? 是我不爱你们吗? 神是知道的.

11:12 But what I am doing, I will also do, in order that I may remove the opportunity of those who want an opportunity, that they may be found just as also we are in what they are boasting about.
我现在所作的, 将来还要作, 为了要断绝那些投机分子的机会, 不让他们在所夸的事上, 被人认为是跟我们一样的.

11:13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
这样的人是假使徒, 是诡诈的工人, 装成基督的使徒.

11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.
这并不希奇, 因为撒但自己也装作光明的天使,

11:15 Therefore it is not a great thing if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
所以, 撒但的仆役装成公义的仆役, 也不必大惊小怪. 他们的结局必按他们所作的而定.

11:16 Again I say, do not let anyone think I am foolish. But indeed, if you do, accept me even as foolish, in order that I also may boast a little.
我再说, 谁也不要以为我是愚昧的; 就算这样, 也要接纳我这个愚昧的人, 使我可以稍微地夸口.

11:17 What I am saying in this project of boasting, I am not saying as the Lord would say, but as in foolishness.
我这样满有自信地夸口, 不是照着主所吩咐的, 而是好像愚昧人在说话.

11:18 Since many are boasting according to human standards, I also will boast.
既然有许多人按着世俗的标准夸口, 我也要夸口.

11:19 For because you are wise, you put up with foolish people gladly!
你们那么精明, 竟然乐意容忍愚昧的人.

11:20 For you put up with it if someone enslaves you, if someone devours you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone is presumptious toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.
如果有人奴役你们, 侵吞,榨取你们, 向你们趾高气扬, 打你们的脸, 你们就容忍吧!

11:21 I say this to my shame, namely, that we have been weak. But in whatever anyone dares to boast—I am speaking in foolishness—I also dare to boast.
说来惭愧, 我们太软弱了. 说句愚昧的话, 如果有人在什么事上是勇敢的, 我也是勇敢的.

11:22 Are they Hebrews? I am also! Are they Israelites? I am also! Are they descendants of Abraham? I am also!
他们是希伯来人吗? 我也是. 他们是以色列人吗? 我也是. 他们是亚伯拉罕的后裔吗? 我也是.

11:23 Are they servants of Christ?—I am speaking as though I were beside myself—I am more so, with far greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with beatings to a much greater degree, in danger of death many times.
他们是基督的仆人吗? 说句狂话, 我更是. 我受更多的劳苦, 更多的坐监, 受了过量的鞭打, 常常有生命的危险.

11:24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews forty lashes less one.
我被犹太人打过五次, 每次四十下减去一下,

11:25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked. A day and a night I have spent in the deep water.
被棍打过三次, 被石头打过一次, 三次遇着船坏, 在深海里飘了一昼一夜;

11:26 I have been on journeys many times, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my own people, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers because of false brothers,
多次行远路, 遇着江河的危险,强盗的危险,同族的危险,外族的危险,城中的危险,旷野的危险,海上的危险,假弟兄的危险;

11:27 with toil and hardship, often in sleepless nights, with hunger and thirst, often going hungry, in cold and poorly clothed.
劳碌辛苦, 多次不得睡觉, 又饥又渴, 多次缺粮, 赤身挨冷.

11:28 Apart from these external things, there is the pressure on me every day of the anxiety about all the churches.
除了这些外面的事, 还有为各教会挂心的事, 天天压在我的身上.

11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to sin, and I do not burn with indignation?
有谁软弱, 我不软弱呢? 有谁陷在罪里, 我不焦急呢?

11:30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast about the things related to my weakness.
如果必须夸口, 我就夸自己的弱点.

11:31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
主耶稣的父神是应当永远受称颂的, 他知道我没有说谎.

11:32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to take me into custody,
在大马士革, 亚里达王手下的总督把守着大马士革城, 要拘捕我,

11:33 and I was lowered through a window through the wall in a rope-basket, and I escaped his hands.
我就被人放在一个大篮子里, 从城墙的窗户缒下来, 逃脱了他的手.

II Corinthians - Chapter 12

12:1 It is necessary to boast; it is not profitable, but I will proceed to visions and revelations of the Lord.
夸口固然无益, 却也是必要的. 现在我要说说主的异象和启示.

12:2 I know a man in Christ fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or outside the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven,
我认识一个在基督里的人, 他十四年前被提到第三层天上去. (是带着身体被提的呢? 我不知道, 是离开了身体呢? 我也不知道, 只有神知道. )

12:3 and I know this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows—
我认识这个人, (是带着身体被提, 还是在身体以外被提, 我都不知道, 只有神知道. )

12:4 that he was caught up to paradise and heard words not to be spoken, which it is not permitted for a person to speak.
他被提到乐园里去, 听见了难以言喻的话, 那是人不可以说的.

12:5 On behalf of such a person I will boast, but on behalf of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
为了这个人, 我要夸口, 但为了我自己, 除了我的软弱以外, 我没有可夸的.

12:6 For if I want to boast, I will not be foolish, because I will be telling the truth, but I am refraining, so that no one can credit to me more than what he sees in me or hears anything from me,
即使我想夸口, 也不算愚妄, 因为我要说的是真话. 但我闭口不提, 免得有人把我看得太高, 过于他在我身上所见所闻的.

12:7 even because of the extraordinary degree of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, in order that it would torment me so that I would not exalt myself.
又因为我所得的启示太大, 恐怕会高抬自己, 所以就有一根刺加在我的身上, 就是撒但的差役来攻击我, 免得我高抬自己.

12:8 Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would depart from me.
为了这事, 我曾经三次求主, 使这根刺离开我.

12:9 And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because the power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore rather I will boast most gladly in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may reside in me.
他却对我说: “我的恩典是够你用的, 因为我的能力在人的软弱上显得完全. ”所以, 我更喜欢夸自己的软弱, 好让基督的能力临到我的身上.

12:10 Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions and difficulties for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
因此, 我为基督的缘故, 就以软弱,凌辱,艰难,迫害,困苦为喜乐, 因为我什么时候软弱, 什么时候就刚强了.

12:11 I have become a fool! You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the preeminent apostles, even if I am nothing.
我成了愚妄的人, 是你们逼成的. 其实你们应该称赞我, 因为我虽然算不得什么, 却没有一点比不上那些“超等使徒”.

12:12 Indeed, the signs of an apostle have been done among you with all patient endurance, both signs and wonders and deeds of power.
我在你们中间, 以各种忍耐, 用神迹,奇事和大能, 作为使徒的凭据.

12:13 For in what respect are you made worse off more than the rest of the churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
除了我自己没有成为你们的重担以外, 你们还有什么比不上别的教会呢? 这一点委屈, 请原谅我吧!

12:14 Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you. For I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
好了, 我打算第三次到你们那里去, 这一次也不会成为你们的重担, 因为我所要的不是你们的东西, 而是你们自己. 儿女不需要为父母积财, 父母却应该为儿女积财.

12:15 But I will spend and be expended most gladly for your lives. If I love you much more, am I to be loved less?
至于我, 我甘心乐意为你们的灵魂付上一切, 鞠躬尽瘁. 难道我越爱你们, 就越得不到你们的爱吗?

12:16 But let it be. I have not been a burden to you, but because I was crafty, I took you by cunning.
算了! 我没有成为你们的重担, 却是个狡猾的人, 用诡计牢笼你们.

12:17 I have not taken advantage of you through anyone whom I sent to you, have I?
我派到你们那里去的人, 我借着谁占过你们的便宜?

12:18 I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same footsteps?
我劝提多到你们那里去, 又派了那位弟兄一同去. 提多占过你们的便宜吗? 我们行事, 不是同一个心灵吗? 不是同样的步伐吗?

12:19 Have you been thinking all this time that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in Christ before God, and all these things, dear friends, are for your edification.
你们一直以为我们是在向你们申辩吗? 我们是在基督里, 当着神面前说话的. 亲爱的, 一切事都是为了建立你们.

12:20 For I am afraid lest somehow when I arrive, I will not find you as I want, and I may be found by you as you do not want. I am afraid lest somehow there will be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, pride, disorder.
我怕我来的时候, 见你们不如我所想的, 你们见我也不如你们所想的. 又怕有纷争,嫉妒,恼怒,自私,毁谤,谗言,狂傲,混乱的事.

12:21 I am afraid lest when I come again my God will humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve over many of those who sinned previously and have not repented because of their impurity and sexual immorality and licentiousness that they have practiced.
又怕我再来的时候, 我的神使我在你们面前羞愧; 并且我要为许多从前犯罪的人哀痛, 因为他们行了污秽,奸淫,邪荡的事, 却不肯悔改.

II Corinthians - Chapter 13

13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. By the testimony of two or three witnesses every word will be established.
这是我第三次到你们那里去, 各样事情必须凭两三个证人的口, 才能确定.

13:2 I have already said when I was present the second time, and although I am absent now I also say in advance to those who sinned previously and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,
我第二次到你们那里去的时候说过, 现今不在你们那里, 再预先对那些从前犯了罪的和其余的人说: 我若再来, 必不宽容,

13:3 since you are demanding proof that Christ, who is not weak toward you, but is powerful among you, is speaking in me.
因为你们在找基督借着我说话的凭据. 基督对你们不是软弱的, 相反地, 在你们身上是有能力的.

13:4 For indeed, he was crucified because of weakness, but he lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live together with him because of the power of God toward you.
他因着软弱被钉死了, 却靠着神的大能活着. 我们在他里面也是软弱的, 但靠着神向你们所显的大能, 也必与他一同活着.

13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize regarding yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are unqualified?
你们应当察验自己是不是持守着信仰, 也应当考验自己. 难道不晓得基督耶稣是在你们里面吗? (除非你们是经不起考验的人. )

13:6 And I hope that you will recognize that we are not unqualified!
我盼望你们晓得, 我们不是经不起考验的人.

13:7 Now we pray to God that you not do wrong in any way, not that we are seen as approved, but that you do what is good, even though we are seen as though unqualified.
我们祈求神, 使你们不作什么恶事. 这并不是要显明我们是经得起考验的, 而是要你们行善; 我们呢, 就让我们作经不起考验的人好了!

13:8 For we are not able to do anything against the truth, but rather only for the truth.
我们不能作什么事违背真理, 只能维护真理.

13:9 For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong, and we pray for this: your maturity.
当我们软弱,你们刚强的时候, 我们就欢喜; 我们所求的, 就是要你们完全.

13:10 Because of this, I am writing these things although I am absent, in order that when I am present I may not have to act severely according to the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
因此, 我趁着不在你们那里的时候, 把这些话写给你们, 到我来了, 就不必凭着主所给我的权柄严厉地对待你们. 这权柄不是要拆毁你们, 而是要建立你们.

13:11 Finally, brothers, rejoice, be restored, be encouraged, be in agreement, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
最后, 弟兄们, 你们要喜乐, 要完全, 要受安慰, 要同心, 要和睦. 这样, 施慈爱赐平安的神必与你们同在.

13:12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
你们要用圣洁的亲嘴彼此问安.

13:13 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
众圣徒都问候你们.

13:14
愿主耶稣基督的恩惠, 神的慈爱, 圣灵的契通, 常与你们众人同在.

Galatians (加拉太书)

Galatians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle not from men nor by men but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead,
作使徒的保罗(不是由于人, 也不是借着人, 而是借着耶稣基督和那使他从死人中复活的父神),

1:2 and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.
和所有与我在一起的弟兄, 写信给加拉太的众教会.

1:3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
愿恩惠平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督临到你们.

1:4 who gave himself for our sins in order to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
基督照着我们父神的旨意, 曾经为我们的罪舍己, 为的是要救我们脱离现在这邪恶的世代.

1:5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
愿荣耀归给他, 直到永永远远. 阿们.

1:6 I am astonished that you are turning away so quickly from the one who called you by the grace of Christ to a different gospel,
我很惊奇, 你们这么快就离开了借着基督的恩呼召你们的那一位, 去归向别的福音.

1:7 not that there is a different gospel, except there are some who are disturbing you and wanting to distort the gospel of Christ.
其实那并不是另一个福音, 只是有些搅扰你们的人, 想把基督的福音改变了.

1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim a gospel to you contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed!
但无论是我们, 或是从天上来的使者, 如果传给你们的和我们以前传给你们的福音不同, 他就该受咒诅.

1:9 As we said before, and now I say again, if anyone is proclaiming a gospel to you contrary to what you have received, let him be accursed!
我们已经说过, 现在我要再说, 如果有人传给你们的和你们以前所领受的福音不同, 他就该受咒诅.

1:10 For am I now making an appeal to people or to God? Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.
我现在是要得人的欢心, 还是要得神的欢心呢? 难道我想讨人欢喜吗? 如果我仍然要讨人欢喜, 就不是基督的仆人了.

1:11 For I make known to you, brothers, the gospel that has been proclaimed by me, that it is not of human origin.
弟兄们, 我要你们知道, 我所传的福音, 并不是照着人的意思,

1:12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
因为这福音我不是从人领受的, 也不是人教导我的, 而是借着耶稣基督的启示来的.

1:13 For you have heard about my former way of life in Judaism, that to an extraordinary degree I was persecuting the church of God, and trying to destroy it,
你们听过我从前在犹太教中所行的: 怎样极力逼迫残害神的教会,

1:14 and was progressing in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my nation, because I was a far more zealous adherent of the traditions handed down by my forefathers.
怎样在犹太教中比许多本族同辈的人更激进, 为我祖先的传统分外热心.

1:15 But when the one who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace was pleased
然而, 当我在母腹里就把我分别出来, 又用他的恩呼召我的那一位,

1:16 to reveal his Son in me in order that I would proclaim the gospel about him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,
既然乐意把自己的儿子启示给我, 使我可以在外族人中传扬他, 我就没有和任何人(“人”直译“肉和血”)商量,

1:17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and I returned again to Damascus.
也没有上耶路撒冷见那些比我先作使徒的, 却去了阿拉伯, 然后再回到大马士革.

1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days,
过了三年, 我才上耶路撒冷去见矶法, 和他住了十五天.

1:19 but I did not see any others of the apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
至于其余的使徒, 除了主的弟弟雅各以外, 我都没有见过.

1:20 (Now the things which I am writing to you, behold, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
在神面前我敢说, 我写给你们的都不是谎话.

1:21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,
后来, 我到了叙利亚和基利家一带的地方.

1:22 but I was unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ,
那时, 在基督里的犹太众教会还没有见过我的面,

1:23 and they were only hearing, “The one formerly persecuting us is now proclaiming the faith that formerly he was attempting to destroy,”
不过听说“那个从前迫害我们的, 现在竟然传扬他以前所残害的信仰”,

1:24 and they were glorifying God because of me.
他们就因着我的缘故颂赞神.

Galatians - Chapter 2

2:1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking along Titus also.
过了十四年, 我再次上耶路撒冷去, 这次是和巴拿巴, 并且带着提多一同去的.

2:2 Now I went up there because of a revelation and laid out to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but in private to the influential people, lest somehow I was running, or had run, in vain.
我是顺从启示去的; 在那里我对他们说明我在外族人中所传的福音, 私下讲了给那些有名望的人听, 免得我从前或现在都白跑了.

2:3 But not even Titus who was with me, although he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
与我同行的提多, 虽然是希腊人, 也没有强迫他受割礼;

2:4 Now this was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they might enslave us,
这是因为有些混进来的假弟兄, 暗暗地来侦查我们在基督耶稣里享有的自由, 为的是要辖制我们.

2:5 to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, in order that the truth of the gospel might remain continually with you.
对这些人, 我们一点也没有让步妥协, 为了要使福音的真理存留在你们中间.

2:6 But from those who were influential (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me, God does not show partiality)—for those who were influential added nothing to me.
至于那些被认为有名望的人(无论他们从前怎么样, 都与我无关; 神不以外貌取人), 他们并没有给我增加什么;

2:7 But these, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcision, just as Peter to the circumcision
反而因为看见我受托传福音给没有受割礼的人, 就像彼得受托传福音给受割礼的人一样,

2:8 (for the one who was at work through Peter for his apostleship to the circumcision was at work also through me for the Gentiles),
(因为运行在彼得里面, 使他作受割礼者的使徒的那一位, 也运行在我里面, 使我作外族人的使徒, )

2:9 and when James and Cephas and John—those thought to be pillars—acknowledged the grace given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, in order that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.
又知道我蒙了神的恩, 那几位被誉为柱石的雅各,矶法和约翰, 就向我和巴拿巴伸出右手互相许诺, 我们要到外族人那里去传福音, 他们要到受割礼的人那里去传福音;

2:10 They asked only that we should remember the poor, the very thing I was also eager to do.
只是要我们记念穷人, 这本来也是我一向热心作的.

2:11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was condemned.
可是, 矶法到了安提阿的时候, 因为他有该责备的地方, 我就当面反对他.

2:12 For before certain people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he was afraid of those who were of the circumcision,
从雅各那里来的人还没有到以前, 他和外族人一同吃饭; 但他们来到了, 他因为怕那些守割礼的人, 就从外族人中退出来, 和他们分开.

2:13 and the rest of the Jews also joined in this hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with them in their hypocrisy.
其余的犹太人也和他一同装假, 甚至连巴拿巴也受了影响, 跟着他们装假.

2:14 But when I saw that they were not being straightforward with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, “If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
但我一见他们所行的不合福音的真理, 就当众对矶法说: “你是犹太人, 生活既然像外族人而不像犹太人, 怎么还勉强外族人跟随犹太人的规矩呢? ”

2:15 We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles,
我们生来是犹太人, 不是外族中的罪人;

2:16 but knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, if not by faith in Jesus Christ, and we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.
既然知道人称义不是靠行律法, 而是因信耶稣基督, 我们也就信了基督耶稣, 使我们因信基督称义, 不是靠行律法; 因为没有人能靠行律法称义.

2:17 But if while seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, then is Christ an agent of sin? May it never be!
如果我们寻求在基督里称义, 却仍然是罪人, 难道基督是使人犯罪的吗? 绝对不是.

2:18 For if I build up again these things which I destroyed, I show myself to be a transgressor.
我若重建我所拆毁的, 就证明自己是个有过犯的人.

2:19 For through the law I died to the law, in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ,
我借着律法已经向律法死了, 使我可以向神活着.

2:20 and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, and that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
我已经与基督同钉十字架; 现在活着的, 不再是我, 而是基督活在我里面; 如今在肉身中活着的我, 是因信神的儿子而活的; 他爱我, 为我舍己.

2:21 I do not declare invalid the grace of God, for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.
我不废弃神的恩; 如果义是借着律法而来的, 基督就白白地死了.

Galatians - Chapter 3

3:1 O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as having been crucified?
无知的加拉太人哪! 耶稣基督钉十字架, 已经活现在你们眼前, 谁又迷惑了你们呢?

3:2 I want only to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
我只想问你们这一点: 你们接受了圣灵, 是靠着行律法, 还是因为信所听见的福音呢?

3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now trying to be made complete by the flesh?
你们是这样的无知吗? 你们既然靠着圣灵开始, 现在还要靠着肉体成全吗?

3:4 Have you suffered so many things for nothing—if indeed also it was for nothing?
你们受了这么多的苦, 都是白受的吗? 恐怕真是白受的了.

3:5 Therefore does the one who gives you the Spirit and who works miracles among you do so by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
那么, 神赐圣灵给你们, 又在你们中间行神迹, 是因为你们行律法, 还是因为你们信所听见的福音呢?

3:6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,
正如亚伯拉罕信神, 这就算为他的义.

3:7 then understand that the ones who have faith, these are sons of Abraham.
所以你们要知道, 有信心的人, 就是亚伯拉罕的子孙.

3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
圣经既然预先看见神要使外族人因信称义, 就预先把好信息传给亚伯拉罕: “万国都必因你得福. ”

3:9 So then, the ones who have faith are blessed together with Abraham who believed.
这样看来, 有信心的人, 必定和有信心的亚伯拉罕一同得福.

3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things that are written in the book of the law to do them.”
凡是靠行律法称义的, 都在咒诅之下, 因为经上记着: “凡不常常照着律法书上所写的一切去行的, 都被咒诅. ”

3:11 Now it is clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because “the one who is righteous will live by faith.”
很明显, 在神面前, 没有一个人可以靠着律法称义, 因为“义人必因信得生”(“义人必因信得生”或译: “因信称义的人, 必定得生”).

3:12 But the law is not from faith, but “the one who does these things will live by them.”
律法本来不是出于信, 而是说: “遵行这些事的人, 就必因这些事而活. ”

3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”
基督替我们受了咒诅, 就救赎我们脱离了律法的咒诅, 因为经上记着: “凡挂在木头上的, 都是受咒诅的. ”

3:14 in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
这样, 亚伯拉罕所蒙的福, 就在耶稣基督里临到外族人, 使我们因着信, 可以领受所应许的圣灵.

3:15 Brothers, I am speaking according to a human perspective. Nevertheless, when the covenant of a man has been ratified, no one declares it invalid or adds additional provisions to it.
弟兄们, 我照着人的常理说: 一个立好了的约, 虽然是人所立的, 却没有人可以废弃或增加.

3:16 Now to Abraham and to his descendant the promises were spoken. It does not say, “and to descendants,” as concerning many, but as concerning one, “and to your descendant,” who is Christ.
那些应许本来是给亚伯拉罕和他的后裔的. 神并没有说“给众后裔”, 好像指着多数; 而是说“给你的一个后裔”, 指着一个, 就是基督.

3:17 Now I am saying this: the law, that came after four hundred and thirty years, does not revoke a covenant previously ratified by God, in order to nullify the promise.
我要这样说, 神预先立好的约, 那四百三十年后才有的律法, 不能把它废掉, 使那应许落空.

3:18 For if the inheritance is from the law, it is no longer from the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.
因为所承受的, 如果是出于律法, 就不是出于应许; 但神是凭着应许赐给了亚伯拉罕.

3:19 Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the descendant should come to whom it had been promised, having been ordered through angels by the hand of a mediator.
那么, 为什么要有律法呢? 是为了过犯的缘故才加上的, 直到那得应许的后裔来到. 律法是借着天使经中保的手设立的;

3:20 Now the mediator is not for one, but God is one.
中保不是为单方面的, 但神却是一位.

3:21 Therefore is the law opposed to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, certainly righteousness would have been from the law.
这样, 律法和神的应许是对立的吗? 绝对不是. 如果所赐下的律法能使人得生命, 义就真的是出于律法了.

3:22 But the scripture imprisoned all under sin, in order that the promise could be given by faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.
但圣经把所有的人都圈在罪中, 好把那因信耶稣基督而来的应许, 赐给相信的人.

3:23 But before faith came, we were detained under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.
但信的道理还没有来到以前, 我们在律法下被囚禁,被围困, 直到那要来的信的道理显明出来.

3:24 So then, the law became our guardian until Christ, in order that we could be justified by faith.
这样, 律法成了我们的启蒙教师, 领我们到基督那里, 使我们可以因信称义.

3:25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
但信的道理既然来到, 我们就不再在启蒙教师之下了.

3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
你们因着信, 在基督耶稣里都作了神的儿子.

3:27 for as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
你们所有受洗归入基督的人, 都是披戴基督的,

3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
并不分犹太人或希腊人, 作奴仆的或自由人, 男的或女的, 因为你们在基督耶稣里都成为一体了.

3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
如果你们属于基督, 就是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 是按照应许承受产业的了.

Galatians - Chapter 4

4:1 Now I say, for as long a time as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is master of everything,
我说, 那承受产业的, 虽然是全部产业的主人, 但在孩童的时期, 却和奴仆没有分别.

4:2 but he is under guardians and managers until the time set by his father.
他是在监护人和管家之下, 直到父亲预先指定的时候.

4:3 So also we, when we were children, we were enslaved under the elemental spirits of the world.
我们也是这样, 作孩童的时候, 被世俗的言论所奴役;

4:4 But when the fullness of time came, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
但到了时机成熟, 神就差遣他的儿子, 由女人所生, 而且生在律法之下,

4:5 in order that he might redeem those under the law, in order that we might receive the adoption.
要把律法之下的人救赎出来, 好让我们得着嗣子的名分.

4:6 And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! (Father!),”
你们既然是儿子, 神就差遣他儿子的灵进入我们心里, 呼叫“阿爸,父! ”

4:7 so that you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir through God.
这样, 你不再是奴仆, 而是儿子; 既然是儿子, 就靠着神承受产业了.

4:8 But at that time when you did not know God, you were enslaved to the things which by nature are not gods.
从前你们不认识神的时候, 是给那些本来不是神的作奴仆;

4:9 But now, because you have come to know God, or rather have come to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental spirits? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?
现在你们既然认识神, 更可以说是神所认识的, 怎么还回到那些软弱贫乏的言论, 情愿再作它们的奴仆呢?

4:10 You carefully observe days and months and seasons and years.
你们严守日子,月份,节期,年份;

4:11 I am afraid for you, lest perhaps I have labored for you in vain!
我为你们担心, 恐怕我在你们身上的劳苦是白费了.

4:12 I ask you, brothers, become like me, because I also have become like you. You have done me no wrong!
弟兄们, 我请求你们要像我一样, 因为我也像你们一样. 你们并没有亏负过我.

4:13 But you know that because of an illness of the flesh I proclaimed the gospel to you the first time.
你们知道, 我第一次传福音给你们, 是因为身体有病.

4:14 And you did not despise or disdain what was a trial for you in my flesh, but you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus.
虽然我的身体对你们是个试炼, 你们却没有轻看, 也没有厌弃, 反而接纳我, 好像神的天使, 也好像基督耶稣.

4:15 So where is your blessing? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me!
现在, 你们的欢乐在哪里呢? 我可以为你们作证, 那时如果可能, 你们甚至愿意把你们的眼睛剜出来给我哩!

4:16 So then, have I become your enemy by being truthful to you?
现在我把真理告诉你们, 反而成了你们的仇敌吗?

4:17 They zealously seek you, not commendably, but they want to exclude you, in order that you may seek them zealously.
那些人热心待你们, 并不是出于好意, 而是想你们和我疏远, 好使你们热心待他们.

4:18 But it is good to be sought zealously in good at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
常常在善事上热心, 总是好的; 只是不要我在你们那里的时候才是这样.

4:19 My children, for whom I am having birth pains again, until Christ is formed in you!
我的孩子们, 为了你们我再受生产的痛苦, 直到基督在你们里面成形.

4:20 But I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone because I am perplexed about you.
我恨不得现今就在你们那里, 改变我的语气, 因为我为你们十分困扰.

4:21 Tell me, you who are wanting to be under the law, do you not understand the law?
你们这愿意在律法之下的人哪! 请告诉我, 你们没有听过律法吗?

4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the female slave and one by the free woman.
经上记着说, 亚伯拉罕有两个儿子, 一个出于婢女, 一个出于自由的妇人.

4:23 But the one by the female slave was born according to human descent, and the one by the free woman through the promise,
但那出于婢女的, 是按着肉体生的; 那出于自由的妇人的, 是凭着应许生的.

4:24 which things are spoken allegorically, for these women are two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery, who is Hagar.
这都是寓意的说法: 那两个妇人就是两个约, 一个是出于西奈山, 生子作奴仆, 这是夏甲.

4:25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is a slave with her children.
这夏甲是指着阿拉伯的西奈山, 相当于现在的耶路撒冷, 她和她的儿女都是作奴仆的.

4:26 But the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother.
那在上面的耶路撒冷是自由的, 她是我们的母亲,

4:27 For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren woman, who does not give birth to children; burst out and shout, you who do not have birth pains, because many are the children of the desolate woman, even more than those of the one who has a husband.”
因为经上记着说: “不能生育,没有生养的啊, 你要欢欣! 没有受过生产痛苦的啊, 你要呼喊, 大声呼叫! 因为弃妇比有夫之妇有更多儿子. ”

4:28 But you, brothers, are children of the promise, just as Isaac.
可是, 弟兄们, 你们是按着应许作儿女的, 好像以撒一样.

4:29 But just as at that time the child born according to human descent persecuted the child born according to the Spirit, so also now.
不过, 当时那按着肉体生的, 迫害那按着圣灵生的, 现在也是这样.

4:30 But what does the scripture say? “Drive out the female slave and her son, for the son of the female slave will never inherit with the son” of the free woman.
然而经上怎样说呢? ”把婢女和她的儿子赶出去, 因为婢女的儿子, 绝对不可以和自由的妇人的儿子一同承受产业. ”

4:31 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the female slave but of the free woman.
所以, 弟兄们, 我们不是婢女的儿女, 而是自由的妇人的儿女了.

Galatians - Chapter 5

5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
基督释放了我们, 为了要使我们得自由. 所以你们要站立得稳, 不要再被奴役的轭控制.

5:2 Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing!
我保罗现在告诉你们, 如果你们受割礼, 基督对你们就毫无益处了.

5:3 And again I testify to every man who becomes circumcised, that he is under obligation to keep the whole law.
我再对所有受割礼的人郑重声明: 他有责任遵行全部的律法.

5:4 You are estranged from Christ, you who are attempting to be justified by the law; you have fallen from grace.
你们这些靠律法称义的人, 是和基督隔绝, 从恩典中坠落了.

5:5 For through the Spirit by faith we eagerly await the hope of righteousness.
我们靠着圣灵, 凭着信, 热切等候所盼望的义.

5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
因为在基督耶稣里, 受割礼或不受割礼, 都没有用处, 唯有那借着爱表达出来的信, 才有用处.

5:7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
你们向来跑得好, 谁拦阻了你们, 使你们不顺从真理呢?

5:8 This persuasion is not from the one who calls you!
这种劝诱不是出于那召你们的.

5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough.
一点面酵能使全团面发起来.

5:10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will think nothing different, but the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
我在主里深信你们不会存别的意念; 但那搅扰你们的, 无论是谁, 必定要受刑罚.

5:11 Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.
弟兄们, 如果我仍旧传割礼, 我为什么还受迫害呢? 若是这样, 十字架绊倒人的地方就没有了.

5:12 I wish that the ones who are disturbing you would also castrate themselves!
我恨不得那些扰乱你们的人把自己阉割了!

5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
弟兄们, 你们蒙召得了自由; 只是不可把这自由当作放纵情欲的机会, 总要凭着爱心互相服事.

5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
因为全部的律法, 都在“爱人如己”这一句话里面成全了.

5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
你们要谨慎, 如果相咬相吞, 恐怕彼此都要毁灭了.

5:16 But I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never carry out the desire of the flesh.
我是说, 你们应当顺着圣灵行事, 这样就一定不会去满足肉体的私欲了.

5:17 For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that whatever you want, you may not do these things.
因为肉体的私欲和圣灵敌对, 圣灵也和肉体敌对; 这两样互相敌对, 使你们不能作自己愿意作的.

5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
但你们若被圣灵引导, 就不在律法以下了.

5:19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
肉体所行的都是显而易见的, 就如淫乱,污秽,邪荡,

5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, factions,
拜偶像,行邪术,仇恨,争竞,忌恨,忿怒,自私,分党,结派,

5:21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, things which I am telling you in advance, just as I said before, that the ones who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
嫉妒,醉酒,荒宴, 和类似的事. 我从前早就告诉过你们, 现在又事先告诉你们: 行这些事的人, 必定不能承受神的国.

5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
但圣灵的果子是仁爱,喜乐,平安,忍耐,恩慈,良善,信实,

5:23 gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law.
温柔,节制; 这样的事, 是没有律法禁止的.

5:24 Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires.
属基督耶稣的人, 是已经把肉体和邪情私欲都钉在十字架上了.

5:25 If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.
如果我们靠圣灵活着, 就应该顺着圣灵行事.

5:26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
我们不可贪图虚荣, 彼此触怒, 互相嫉妒.

Galatians - Chapter 6

6:1 Brothers, even if a person is caught in some trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of humility, looking out for yourself, lest you also be tempted.
弟兄们, 如果有人陷在一些过犯里, 你们属灵的人, 要用温柔的心使他回转过来, 自己却要小心, 免得也被引诱.

6:2 Carry the burdens of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
你们各人的重担要互相担当, 这样就成全了基督的律法.

6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something although he is nothing, he is deceiving himself.
如果有人本来没有什么了不起, 却自以为是了不起的, 就是欺骗自己.

6:4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in someone else.
各人应该省察自己所作的, 这样, 他引以为荣的, 就只在自己而不在别人了;

6:5 For each one will carry his own burden.
因为各人的担子, 是要自己担当的.

6:6 Now the one who is taught the word must share in all good things with the one who teaches.
在圣道上受教的, 应该和施教的人分享自己的一切美物.

6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked, for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap,
不要自欺, 神是不可轻慢的. 人种的是什么, 收的也是什么:

6:8 because the one who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
顺着自己的肉体撒种的, 必定从肉体收取败坏; 顺着圣灵撒种的, 必定从圣灵收取永生.

6:9 And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up.
我们行善, 不要觉得厌烦; 如果不松懈, 到了适当的时候, 就有收成.

6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the household of faith.
所以, 我们一有机会, 就应该对众人行善, 对信徒更要这样.

6:11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
请看, 我亲手写给你们的字是多么的大.

6:12 As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are attempting to compel you to be circumcised, only so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
那些在外表上要体面的人, 他们勉强你们受割礼, 不过是怕为了基督的十字架受迫害.

6:13 For not even those who are circumcised observe the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh.
那些受割礼的人, 自己也不遵守律法, 反而要你们受割礼, 为的是要借着你们的肉身夸口.

6:14 But as for me, may it never be that I boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
至于我, 我绝不以别的夸口, 只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架. 借着这十字架, 在我来说, 世界已经钉在十字架上了; 就世界来说, 我也已经钉在十字架上了.

6:15 For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
受割礼或不受割礼, 都算不得什么, 要紧的是作新造的人.

6:16 And all those who follow this rule, peace and mercy be on them and on the Israel of God.
所有照这准则而行的人, 愿平安怜悯临到他们, 就是临到神的以色列.

6:17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.
从今以后, 谁也不要搅扰我, 因为我身上带着耶稣的烙痕.

6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
弟兄们, 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在(“与你们同在”原文作“与你们的心灵同在”). 阿们.

Ephesians - Chapter 2

2:1 And you, although you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
你们因着自己的过犯和罪恶, 原是死的.

2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,
那时你们在过犯和罪恶中行事为人, 随着时代的潮流, 也服从空中掌权的首领, 就是现今在悖逆的人身上运行的灵.

2:3 among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and we were children of wrath by nature, as also the rest of them were.
我们从前也都和他们在一起, 放纵肉体的私欲, 随着肉体和心意所喜好的去行; 我们与别人一样, 生来都是可怒的儿女.

2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,
然而神满有怜悯, 因着他爱我们的大爱,

2:5 and we being dead in trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

我们原是神所作成的, 是在基督耶稣里创造的, 为的是要我们行各样的善事, 就是神预先所安排的.

2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, the so-called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,
你们应当记得, 你们从前按肉体来说是外族人; 那些所谓在肉体上受过人手所行的割礼的人, 称你们为未受割礼的.

2:12 that you were at that time apart from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope, and without God in the world.
那时, 你们是在基督以外, 与以色列国无分, 在带有应许的约上是外人, 在世上没有盼望, 没有神.

2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ.
你们从前远离的人, 现今在基督耶稣里, 靠着他的血已经可以亲近了.

2:14 For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh,
基督就是我们的和平: 他使双方合而为一, 拆毁了隔在中间的墙, 就是以自己的身体除掉双方的仇恨,

2:15 invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, thus making peace,
并且废掉了律法的规条, 使两者在他里面成为一个新人, 这样就缔造了和平.

2:16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, killing the enmity in himself.
基督既然借着十字架消灭了仇恨, 就借着十字架使双方与神和好, 成为一体,

2:17 And coming, he proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to the ones who were near,
并且他来把和平的福音传给你们在远处的人, 也给在近处的人.

2:18 because through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
我们双方都借着他, 在同一位圣灵里, 可以进到父面前.

2:19 Consequently, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God,
这样看来, 你们不再是外人和客旅, 而是与圣徒一同作国民, 是神家里的人了,

2:20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
并且建造在使徒和先知的根基上, 基督耶稣自己就是奠基石,

2:21 in whom the whole building, joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

2:22 in whom you also are built up together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
你们在他里面也一同被建造, 成为神借着圣灵居住的所在.

想必你们听过神恩惠的计划, 他为你们的缘故赐恩给我,

3:3 According to revelation the mystery was made known to me, just as I wrote beforehand in brief,

3:5 (which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit):
这奥秘在以前的世代并没有让世人知道, 不像现在借着圣灵启示了圣使徒和先知那样.

3:6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
这奥秘就是外族人在基督耶稣里, 借着福音可以同作后嗣, 同为一体, 同蒙应许.

3:7 of which I became a servant, according to the gift of God’s grace given to me, according to the working of his power.
我作了福音的仆役, 是照着神的恩赐; 这恩赐是按着他大能的作为赐给我的.

3:8 To me, the least of all the saints, was given this grace: to proclaim the good news of the fathomless riches of Christ to the Gentiles,
我本来比圣徒中最小的还小, 神还是赐给我这恩典, 要我把基督那测不透的丰富传给外族人,

3:9 and to enlighten everyone as to what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages by God, who created all things,
并且使众人明白那奥秘的救世计划是什么(这奥秘是历代以来隐藏在创造万有的神里面的),

3:10 in order that the many-sided wisdom of God might be made known now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places through the church,
为了要使天上执政的和掌权的, 现在借着教会都可以知道神各样的智慧.

3:11 according to the purpose of the ages which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,
这都是照着神在我们主基督耶稣里所成就的永恒的旨意.

3:12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through faith in him.
我们因信基督, 就在他里面坦然无惧, 满有把握地进到神面前.

3:13 Therefore I ask you not to be discouraged at my afflictions on behalf of you, which are your glory.
因此, 我恳求你们, 不要因着我为你们所受的苦难而沮丧, 这原是你们的光荣.

3:14 On account of this, I bend my knees before the Father,
因此, 我在父面前屈膝,

3:15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
(天上地上所有的家族都是由他命名的, )

3:16 that he may grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
求他按着他荣耀的丰盛, 借着他的灵, 用大能使你们内在的人刚强起来,

3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (you having been firmly rooted and established in love),
使基督借着你们的信, 住在你们心里, 使你们既然在爱中扎根建基,

3:18 in order that you may be strong enough to grasp together with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth,
就能和众圣徒一同领悟基督的爱是多么的长阔高深,

3:19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, in order that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

3:20 Now to the one who is able to do beyond all measure more than all that we ask or think, according to the power that is at work in us,
愿荣耀归给神, 就是归给那能照着运行在我们里面的大能, 充充足足地成就一切, 超过我们所求所想的.

3:21 to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
愿荣耀在教会中和基督耶稣里归给他, 直到万代, 永世无穷. 阿们.

凡事谦虚,温柔,忍耐, 用爱心彼此宽容;

4:3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace;

4:7 Now to each one of us was given this grace, according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
我们各人蒙恩, 是照着基督量给我们的恩赐.

4:8 Therefore it says, “Ascending on high he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.”
所以他说: “他升上高天的时候, 掳了许多俘虏, 把赏赐给了人. ”

4:9 Now “he ascended,” what is it, except that he also descended to the lower regions of the earth?

4:10 The one who descended himself is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, in order that he might fill all things.

4:15 But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow into him with reference to all things, who is the head, Christ,
却要在爱中过诚实的生活, 在各方面长进, 达到基督的身量. 他是教会的头,

4:16 from whom the whole body, joined together and held together by every supporting ligament, according to the working by measure of each single part, the growth of the body makes for the building up of itself in love.
全身靠着他, 借着每一个关节的支持, 照着每部分的功用, 配合联系起来, 使身体渐渐长大, 在爱中建立自己.

所以, 我要这样说, 并且要在主里肯定地说: 你们行事为人不要再像教外人, 存着虚妄的意念.

4:18 being darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,
他们的心思昏昧, 因为自己无知, 心里刚硬, 就与神所赐的生命隔绝了.

4:19 who, becoming callous, gave themselves over to licentiousness, for the pursuit of all uncleanness in greediness.

4:23 be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
你们要把心灵更换一新,

4:24 and put on the new man (in accordance with God), who is created in righteousness and holiness from the truth.

Ephesians - Chapter 5

5:1 Therefore become imitators of God, as beloved children,
因此, 你们既然是蒙爱的儿女, 就应当效法神.

5:2 and live in love, just as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant smell.
要凭着爱心行事, 好像基督爱我们, 为我们舍己, 当作馨香的供品和祭物献给神.

5:3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or greediness, must not even be named among you (as is fitting for saints),
至于淫乱和任何污秽或贪心的事, 在你们中间连提都不可提, 才合圣徒的体统.

5:4 and obscenity, and foolish talk, or coarse jesting (which are not proper), but rather thanksgiving.
更不要讲淫秽和愚妄的话, 或下流的笑话, 这些都与你们不相称; 却要说感谢的话.

5:5 For this you know for certain, that every sexually immoral person, or unclean person, or greedy person (who is an idolater), does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
因为你们确实知道, 无论是淫乱的,污秽的或贪心的(贪心就是拜偶像), 都得不到在基督和神的国里的基业.

5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
不要给别人用空言欺骗了你们, 正因为这些事, 神的震怒必定临到那些悖逆的人.

所以, 不要与他们同流合污.

5:8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light
你们从前是黑暗的, 现今在主里却是光明的, 行事为人就应当像光明的儿女.

5:9 (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
光明所结的果子, 就是一切良善,公义,诚实.

5:10 trying to learn what is well-pleasing to the Lord.
你们要察验什么是主所喜悦的.

5:11 And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even expose them.
不要参与暗昧无益的事, 倒要把它揭露出来,

5:12 For it is shameful even to speak about the things being done by them in secret,
因为他们暗中所作的事, 连提起来也是羞耻的.

5:13 but all things exposed by the light are made visible,
凡被光揭露的, 都是显而易见的.

5:14 for everything made visible is light. Therefore it says, Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
因为一切显露出来的就是光, 所以有话说: “睡了的人哪, 醒过来, 从死人中起来吧! 基督必要照亮你. ”

所以, 你们行事为人要谨慎, 不要像愚昧人, 却要像聪明人.

5:16 making the most of the time because the days are evil.

5:21 being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ
还要存敬畏基督的心, 彼此顺服.

5:22 —wives to their own husbands as to the Lord,
你们作妻子的, 要顺服自己的丈夫, 好像顺服主一样,

5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church (he himself being the Savior of the body).
因为丈夫是妻子的头, 好像基督是教会的头; 基督又是教会全体的救主.

5:24 But as the church is subject to Christ, thus also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything.
教会怎样顺服基督, 妻子也要照样凡事顺服丈夫.

5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her;
你们作丈夫的, 要爱妻子, 好像基督爱教会, 为教会舍己,

5:26 in order that he might sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word;
为的是要用水借着道把教会洗净, 成为圣洁,

5:27 in order that he might present to himself the church glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she may be holy and blameless.
可以作荣耀的教会归给自己, 什么污点皱纹等也没有, 而是圣洁没有瑕疵的.

5:29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ does the church,
从来没有人恨恶自己的身体, 总是保养顾惜, 好像基督对教会一样,

5:30 because we are members of his body.
因为我们是他身上的肢体.

5:31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
为了这缘故, 人要离开父母, 与妻子结合, 二人成为一体.

5:32 (This mystery is great, but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.)
这是极大的奥秘, 但我是指着基督和教会说的.

5:33 Only you also, each one of you, must thus love his own wife as himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
无论怎样, 你们各人都要爱自己的妻子, 好像爱自己一样. 妻子也应当敬重丈夫.

Ephesians - Chapter 6

6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
你们作儿女的, 要在主里听从父母, 因为这是理所当然的.

6:2 “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),
“要孝敬父母, 使你得福, 在世长寿. ”这是第一条带着应许的诫命.

6:3 “in order that it may be well with you, and you may live a long time on the earth.”
“要孝敬父母, 使你得福, 在世长寿. ”这是第一条带着应许的诫命.

6:4 And fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
你们作父亲的, 不要激怒儿女, 却要照着主的教训和劝戒, 养育他们.

6:5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ,
你们作仆人的, 要存着敬畏,战兢和真诚的心, 听从世上的主人, 好像听从基督一样.

6:6 not while being watched, as people pleasers, but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,
作事不要只作给人看, 像那些讨人欢心的一样, 却要像基督的仆人, 从心里遵行神的旨意,

6:7 serving with goodwill as to the Lord and not to people,
甘心服务, 像是服事主, 不是服事人.

6:8 because you know that each one of you, whatever good he should do, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.
你们知道, 无论是奴仆或自由的人, 如果作了什么善事, 都必从主那里得到赏赐.

6:9 And masters, do the same things to them, giving up threats, knowing that both their Lord and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

6:10 Finally, become strong in the Lord and in the might of his strength.
最后, 你们要靠主的大能大力, 在他里面刚强.

6:11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil,
要穿戴神所赐的全副军装, 使你们能抵挡魔鬼的诡计.

6:12 because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
因为我们的争战, 对抗的不是有血有肉的人, 而是执政的,掌权的,管辖这黑暗世界的和天上的邪灵.

6:13 Because of this, take up the full armor of God, in order that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.
所以要穿起神所赐的全副军装, 使你们在这邪恶的时代里可以抵挡得住, 并且在作完了一切之后, 还能站立得稳.

6:14 Stand therefore, girding your waist with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness,
因此, 你们要站稳, 用真理当带子束腰, 披上公义的胸甲,

6:15 and binding shoes under your feet with the preparation of the good news of peace,
把和平的福音预备好了, 当作鞋子, 穿在脚上,

6:16 in everything taking up the shield of faith, with which you are able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one,
拿起信心的盾牌, 用来扑灭那恶者所有的火箭;

6:17 and receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
并且要戴上救恩的头盔, 拿起圣灵的宝剑, 就是神的道,

6:18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and to this end being alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
借着各样的祷告和祈求, 随时在圣灵里祈祷, 并且要在这事上恒久警醒, 为众圣徒祈求.

6:19 and for me, that a word may be given to me at the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
也要为我祈求, 使我传讲的时候, 得着当说的话, 可以坦然无惧地讲明福音的奥秘,

6:20 for the sake of which I am an ambassador in chains, that in them I may speak freely, as it is necessary for me to speak.
(我为这奥秘作了被捆锁的使者), 也使我按着应当说的, 放胆宣讲这福音的奥秘.

6:21 Now, so that you also may know my circumstances, what I am doing, Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things,
亲爱的推基古弟兄是主里忠心的仆人, 他会把我的一切都告诉你们, 使你们可以知道我的景况.

6:22 whom I have sent to you for this very reason, that you may know our circumstances, and he may encourage your hearts.
为了这缘故, 我就差他到你们那里去, 好让你们明白我们的近况, 并且叫他安慰你们的心.

Philippians (腓利比书)

Philippians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons.
基督耶稣的仆人保罗和提摩太, 写信给所有住在腓立比, 在基督耶稣里的圣徒,监督和执事.

1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督临到你们.

1:3 I give thanks to my God upon my every remembrance of you,
我每逢想到你们, 就感谢我的神;

1:4 always in my every prayer for all of you, making the prayer with joy,
每次为你们大家祈求的时候, 总是欢欢喜喜地祈求.

1:5 because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now,
为了你们从头一天直到现在都在福音的事工上有分, 我就感谢我的神.

1:6 convinced of this same thing, that the one who began a good work in you will finish it until the day of Christ Jesus,
我深信那在你们中间开始了美好工作的, 到了基督耶稣的日子, 必成全这工作.

1:7 just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you are sharers of grace with me.
为你们众人我有这样的意念是很恰当的, 因为你们常常在我的心里, 无论我是在捆锁之中, 或是在辩护和证实福音的时候, 你们都和我一同分享神的恩典.

1:8 For God is my witness, that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
我是怎样以基督耶稣的心肠, 切切地想念你们众人, 这是神可以为我作证的.

1:9 And this I pray: that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
我所祷告的, 是要你们的爱心, 在充足的知识和各样的见识上, 多而又多,

1:10 so that you may approve what is superior, in order that you may be sincere and blameless in the day of Christ,
使你们可以辨别是非, 成为真诚无可指摘的人, 直到基督的日子,

1:11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
靠着耶稣基督结满了公义的果子, 使神得着荣耀和赞美.

1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have happened instead for the progress of the gospel,
弟兄们, 我愿意你们知道, 我所遭遇的反而使福音更加兴旺了,

1:13 so that my imprisonment in Christ has become known in the whole praetorium and to all the rest,
以致宫里的卫队和其余的人, 都知道我是为了基督才受捆锁的;

1:14 and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, dare even more to speak the word without fear.
而且大多数主内的弟兄, 因我所受的捆锁, 就笃信不疑, 毫无畏惧, 更勇敢地传讲神的道.

1:15 Some even because of envy and strife preach Christ, but some also because of good will.
有些人传扬基督是出于嫉妒和纷争, 但也有些人是出于好意.

1:16 The latter do so from love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
这些人是出于爱心, 知道我是派来为福音辩护的.

1:17 The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction in my imprisonment.
那些人传讲基督却是出于自私, 动机并不纯正, 只想加重我在捆锁中的烦恼.

1:18 What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. But also I will rejoice,
那有什么关系呢? 真心也好, 假意也好, 无论怎么样, 基督总被传开了, 为此我就欢喜; 并且我还要欢喜,

1:19 for I know that this will turn out to me for deliverance through your prayer and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
因为我知道, 借着你们的祈求和耶稣基督的灵的帮助, 我一定会得到释放.

1:20 according to my eager expectation and hope, that I will be put to shame in nothing, but with all boldness, even now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether through life or through death.
我所热切期待和盼望的, 就是在凡事上我都不会羞愧, 只要满有胆量, 不论生死, 总要让基督在我身上照常被尊为大.

1:21 For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.
因为我活着就是基督, 我死了就有益处.

1:22 But if it is to live in the flesh, this is fruitful work for me, and which I will prefer I do not know.
但如果我仍在世上活着, 能够使我的工作有成果, 我就不知道应该怎样选择了!

1:23 But I am hard pressed between the two options, having the desire to depart and to be with Christ, for this is very much better.
我处于两难之间, 情愿离世与基督同在, 因为那是好得无比的.

1:24 But to stay on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
可是为了你们, 我更需要活在世上.

1:25 And because I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
我既然这样深信, 就知道还要活下去, 并且要继续和你们大家在一起, 使你们在信心上有长进, 有喜乐,

1:26 so that what you can be proud of may increase in Christ Jesus because of me through my return again to you.
以致你们因为我要再到你们那里去, 就在基督耶稣里更加以我为荣.

1:27 Only lead your lives in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent I hear your circumstances, that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,
不过, 你们行事为人应当和基督的福音相配. 这样, 无论我来见你们或是不在你们中间, 都可以听到你们的情况, 就是你们有同一的心志, 站立得稳, 为了福音的信仰齐心努力,

1:28 and not letting yourselves be intimidated in anything by your opponents, which is a sign of destruction to them, but of your salvation, and this from God,
什么事都不怕有反对你们的人, 这就证明他们要灭亡, 你们要得救, 这都是出于神.

1:29 because to you has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on behalf of him,
因为神为了基督的缘故赐恩给你们, 使你们不单是信基督, 也是要为他受苦;

1:30 having the same struggle which you saw in me and now hear about in me.
你们面对的争战, 和你们在我身上所见过, 现在又听到的是一样的.

Philippians - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
所以, 你们在基督里若有什么劝勉, 有什么爱心的安慰, 有什么灵里的契通, 有什么慈悲和怜悯,

2:2 complete my joy, so that you are in agreement, having the same love, united in spirit, having one purpose.
就应当有同样的思想, 同样的爱心, 要心志相同, 思想一致, 使我充满喜乐.

2:3 Do nothing according to selfish ambition or according to empty conceit, but in humility considering one another better than yourselves,
不要自私自利, 也不要贪图虚荣, 只要谦卑, 看别人比自己强;

2:4 each of you not looking out for your own interests, but also each of you for the interests of others.
各人不要单顾自己的事, 也要顾别人的事.

2:5 Think this in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
你们应当有这样的意念, 这也是基督耶稣的意念. (全节或译: “你们当以基督耶稣的心为心. ”)

2:6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God something to be grasped,
他本来有神的形象, 却不坚持自己与神平等的地位,

2:7 but emptied himself by taking the form of a slave, by becoming in the likeness of people. And being found in appearance like a man,
反而倒空自己, 取了奴仆的形象, 成为人的样式;

2:8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, that is, death on a cross.
既然有人的样子, 就自甘卑微, 顺服至死, 而且死在十字架上.

2:9 Therefore also God exalted him and graciously granted him the name above every name,
因此神把他升为至高, 并且赐给他超过万名之上的名.

2:10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth,
使天上,地上和地底下的一切, 因着耶稣的名, 都要屈膝,

2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
并且口里承认耶稣基督为主, 使荣耀归给父神.

2:12 Therefore my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
这样看来, 我所亲爱的, 你们素来是顺服的, (不但我在你们那里的时候是这样, 现今我不在, 你们更要顺服, )就应当恐惧战兢地作成自己的救恩.

2:13 For the one at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure, is God.
神为了成全自己的美意, 就在你们里面动工, 使你们可以立志和行事.

2:14 Do all things without grumbling and disputing,
无论作什么, 都不要发怨言,起争论,

2:15 in order that you may become blameless and innocent, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as stars in the world,
好使你们无可指摘,纯真无邪, 在这弯曲乖谬的世代中, 作神没有瑕疵的儿女; 你们要在这世代中发光, 好像天上的光体一样,

2:16 holding fast to the word of life, for a source of pride to me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
把生命的道显扬出来, 使我在基督的日子可以夸耀我没有空跑, 也没有徒劳.

2:17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and rejoice with all of you.
即使把我浇奠在你们信心的祭物和供奉上, 我也喜乐, 并且和你们大家一同喜乐.

2:18 And in the same way also you rejoice and rejoice with me.
照样, 你们也要喜乐, 并且要和我一同喜乐.

2:19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged when I know your circumstances.
我靠着主耶稣, 希望不久就会差提摩太到你们那里去, 使我们知道你们的情况, 可以得到鼓励.

2:20 For I have no one like-minded who will sincerely be concerned about your circumstances.
没有人与我同心, 真正关心你们的事,

2:21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
因为大家只顾自己的事, 而不理耶稣基督的事.

2:22 But you know his proven character, that like a child with a father he served with me for the gospel.
不过, 提摩太的为人是你们知道的, 他和我一同为了福音服事主, 就像儿子跟父亲一样.

2:23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see my circumstances.
所以, 等我看出自己的事会怎样了结之后, 我希望立刻差他去;

2:24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.
而且靠着主, 我相信自己不久也会去.

2:25 But I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your messenger and servant of my need,
然而我认为必须差以巴弗提到你们那里去, 他是我的弟兄, 与我一同作工一同作战的, 也是你们为我的需要差来服事我的.

2:26 because he was longing for all of you and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
他一直在想念你们众人, 并且因为你们听见他病了, 他就非常难过.

2:27 For indeed he was sick, coming near to death, but God had mercy on him and not on him only, but also on me, so that I would not have grief upon grief.
事实上他病得几乎要死, 然而神怜悯了他; 不但怜悯他, 也怜悯我, 免得我忧上加忧.

2:28 Therefore I am sending him with special urgency, in order that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.
所以, 我更急着差他去, 让你们再见到他, 就可以喜乐, 也可以减少我的挂虑.

2:29 Therefore welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and consider such people highly honored,
因此, 你们要在主里欢欢喜喜地接待他, 也要尊重这样的人,

2:30 because on account of the work of Christ he came near to the point of death, risking his life in order that he might make up for your inability to serve me.
因他为了基督的工作, 冒着生命的危险, 差一点丧了命, 为的是要补满你们服事我不足的地方.

Philippians - Chapter 3

3:1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not troublesome to me, but is a safeguard for you.
最后, 我的弟兄们, 你们要靠着主喜乐. 我写这些话给你们, 在我并不困难, 对你们却是妥当的.

3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the mutilation.
你们要提防那些“狗”, 提防作恶的, 提防行割礼的.

3:3 For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and do not put confidence in the flesh,
其实我们这些靠神的灵来敬拜, 在基督耶稣里夸口而不倚靠肉体的人, 才是受割礼的,

3:4 although I could have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks to put confidence in the flesh, I can do so more:
虽然我有理由可以倚靠肉体. 如果别人认为可以倚靠肉体, 我就更加可以了;

3:5 circumcised on the eighth day, from the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born from Hebrews, according to the law a Pharisee,
我第八天受割礼, 属于以色列民族便雅悯支派, 是希伯来人所生的希伯来人. 按着律法来说, 我是个法利赛人;

3:6 according to zeal persecuting the church, according to the righteousness in the law being blameless.
按着热诚来说, 我是迫害教会的; 按着律法上的义来说, 我是无可指摘的.

3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, these things I have considered loss because of Christ.
然而以前对我有益的, 现在因着基督的缘故, 我都当作是有损的.

3:8 More than that, I even consider all things to be loss because of the surpassing greatness of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and consider them dung, in order that I may gain Christ
不但这样, 我也把万事当作是有损的, 因为我以认识我主基督耶稣为至宝. 为了他, 我把万事都拋弃了, 看作废物, 为了要得着基督.

3:9 and may be found in him, not having my righteousness which is from the law, but which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith,
并且得以在他里面, 不是有自己因律法而得的义, 而是有因信基督而得的义, 就是基于信心, 从神而来的义,

3:10 so that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
使我认识基督和他复活的大能, 并且在他所受的苦上有分, 受他所受的死;

3:11 if somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
这样, 我也许可以从死人中复活.

3:12 Not that I have already received this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on if indeed I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ.
这并不是说我已经得着了, 已经完全了, 而是竭力追求, 好使我可以得着基督耶稣要我得着的.

3:13 Brothers, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of it. But I do one thing, forgetting the things behind and straining toward the things ahead,
弟兄们, 我不以为自己已经得着了, 我只有一件事, 就是忘记背后, 努力面前,

3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
向着目标竭力追求, 为要得着神在基督耶稣里召我往上去得的奖赏.

3:15 Therefore as many as are perfect, let us hold this opinion, and if you think anything differently, God will reveal this also to you.
所以, 我们中间凡是成熟的人, 都应当这样想. 即使你们不是这样想, 神也会把这事指示你们.

3:16 Only to what we have attained, to the same hold on.
不过, 我们到了什么程度, 就要照着什么程度去行.

3:17 Become fellow imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who walk in this way, just as you have us as an example.
弟兄们, 你们要一同效法我, 也要留意那些照着我们的榜样而行的人.

3:18 For many live, of whom I spoke about to you many times, but now speak about even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
我常常告诉你们, 现在又流着泪说, 有许多人行事为人, 是基督十字架的仇敌,

3:19 whose end is destruction, whose God is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, the ones who think on earthly things.
他们的结局是灭亡, 他们的神是自己的肚腹, 他们以自己的羞辱为荣耀, 所想的都是地上的事.

3:20 For our commonwealth exists in heaven, from which also we eagerly await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
但我们是天上的公民, 切望救主, 就是主耶稣基督, 从天上降临;

3:21 who will transform our humble body to be conformed to his glorious body, in accordance with the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
他要运用那使万有归服自己的大能, 改变我们这卑贱的身体, 和他荣耀的身体相似.

Philippians - Chapter 4

4:1 So then, my beloved and greatly desired brothers, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.
我所想念亲爱的弟兄们, 你们就是我的喜乐,我的冠冕. 所以, 亲爱的, 你们应当靠着主站立得稳.

4:2 I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to be in agreement in the Lord.
我劝友阿嫡, 也劝循都基, 要在主里意念相同.

4:3 Yes, I ask also you, true yokefellow, help them, who struggled along with me in the gospel with both Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
我真诚的同道啊, 我也求你帮助她们. 这两个女人, 还有革利免和其余的同工, 都跟我在福音的事工上一同劳苦, 他们的名字都在生命册上.

4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.
你们要靠着主常常喜乐, 我再说, 你们要喜乐.

4:5 Let your gentleness be made known to all people. The Lord is near.
要使大家看出你们谦和的心. 主已经近了.

4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
应当毫无忧虑, 只要凡事借着祷告祈求, 带着感恩的心, 把你们所要的告诉神.

4:7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
这样, 神所赐超过人能了解的平安, 必在基督耶稣里, 保守你们的心思意念.

4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are pleasing, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these things.
最后, 弟兄们, 凡是真实的,庄重的,公正的,纯洁的,可爱的,声誉好的, 无论是什么美德, 什么称赞, 这些事你们都应当思念.

4:9 And the things which you have learned and received and heard about and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
你们在我身上所学习,所领受,所听见,所看见的, 这些事你们都应当实行; 那么, 赐平安的神就必与你们同在.

4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have renewed your concern for me, for whom also you were thinking, but you had no opportunity to express it.
我在主里大大地喜乐, 因为你们现在又再想起我来; 其实你们一向都在想念我, 只是没有机会表示.

4:11 Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.
我并不是因为缺乏才这样说: 我已经学会了, 无论在什么情况之下都可以知足.

4:12 I know how both to make do with little and I know how to have an abundance. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to have an abundance and to go without.
我知道怎样处卑贱, 也知道怎样处富裕; 我已经得了秘诀, 无论在任何情况之下, 或是饱足, 或是饥饿, 或是富裕, 或是缺乏, 都可以知足.

4:13 I am able to do all things by the one who strengthens me.
我靠着那加给我能力的, 凡事都能作.

4:14 Nevertheless you have done well by sharing with me in my affliction.
然而, 你们一同分担了我的患难, 实在是好的.

4:15 Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone,
腓立比的弟兄们, 你们也知道, 在我传福音的初期, 离开马其顿的时候, 除了你们以外, 我没有收过任何教会的供给.

4:16 because even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent for my need.
我在帖撒罗尼迦的时候, 你们还是一而再把我所需用的送来.

4:17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account.
我并不求礼物, 只求你们的果子不断增加, 归在你们的帐上.

4:18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am well supplied because I received from Epaphroditus what you had sent, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
你们所送的我都全数收到了, 而且绰绰有余; 我已经足够了, 因我从以巴弗提收到你们所送的, 好像馨香之气, 是神所接纳所喜悦的祭物.

4:19 And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
我的神必照他在基督耶稣里荣耀的丰富, 满足你们的一切需要.

4:20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
愿荣耀归给我们的父神, 直到永远. 阿们.

4:21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.
问候在基督耶稣里的各位圣徒. 同我在一起的弟兄们问候你们.

4:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
愿主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在(“与你们同在”原文作“与你们的心灵同在”).

这福音传到你们那里, 也传到全世界; 你们听了福音, 因着真理确实认识了神的恩典之后, 这福音就在你们中间不断地结果和增长, 在全世界也是一样.

一切智慧和知识的宝库都蕴藏在基督里面.

因为神本性的一切丰盛, 都有形有体地住在基督里面,

2:10 and you are filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority,
你们也是在他里面得了丰盛. 他是一切执政掌权者的元首.

2:11 in whom also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made by hands, by the removal of the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
你们也在他里面受了不是由人手所行的割礼, 而是受了基督的割礼, 就是除掉你们的罪身.

2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which also you were raised together with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
你们在洗礼中已经与他一同埋葬, 也在洗礼中, 因信那使基督从死人中复活的神所运行的动力, 与他一同复活了.

2:13 And although you were dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
你们因着过犯和肉体未受割礼, 原是死的, 然而神赦免了我们的一切过犯, 使你们与基督一同活过来,

2:14 having destroyed the certificate of indebtedness in ordinances against us, which was hostile to us, and removed it out of the way by nailing it to the cross.
涂抹了那写在规条上反对我们,与我们为敌的字句, 并且把这字句从我们中间拿去, 钉在十字架上.

他既然靠着十字架胜过了一切执政掌权的, 废除了他们的权势, 就在凯旋的行列中, 把他们公开示众.

2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you with reference to eating or drinking or participation in a feast or a new moon or a Sabbath,
所以不要让人因着饮食,节期,月朔,安息日批评你们,

2:17 which are a shadow of what is to come, but the reality is Christ.

不要让人夺去你们的奖赏, 他们以故意谦卑, 敬拜天使为乐; 迷于自己所见过的; 凭着肉体的意念, 无故地自高自大;

2:19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by the ligaments and sinews, grows with the growth of God.
不与头紧密相连. 其实全身都是借着关节和筋络从头得着供应和联系, 就照着神所要求的, 生长起来.

2:20 If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as if living in the world?
你们若与基督一同死了, 脱离了世俗的言论, 为什么仍然好像活在世俗中一样,

2:21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,”
拘守那“不可摸,不可尝,不可触”的规条呢?

2:22 which things are all meant for destruction by consuming according to human commandments and teachings,
(这一切东西, 一经使用, 就都朽坏了. )这些规条是照着人的命令和教训而定的,

2:23 which things although they have, to be sure, an appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and humility and unsparing treatment of the body, do not have any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
在随着己意敬拜, 故作谦卑, 和苦待己身等事上, 似乎是智慧之言, 其实只能叫人放纵肉体, 再没有任何价值.

我们常常为你们众人感谢神, 祷告的时候提到你们,

1:3 because we remember your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,
在我们的父神面前, 不住地记念你们信心的工作, 爱心的劳苦和因盼望我们主耶稣基督而有的坚忍.

1:4 knowing, brothers dearly loved by God, that he has chosen you,
神所爱的弟兄们, 我们知道你们是蒙拣选的,

1:5 because our gospel did not come to you with word only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, just as you know what sort of people we became among you for your sake.
因为我们的福音传到你们那里, 不单是借着言语, 也是借着权能, 借着圣灵和充足的信心. 为了你们的缘故, 我们在你们中间为人怎样, 这是你们知道的.

1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
你们效法了我们, 也效法了主, 在大患难中, 带着圣灵的喜乐接受了真道.

1:7 so that you became an example to all those who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia,
这样, 你们就成了马其顿和亚该亚所有信徒的榜样.

1:8 for from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything.
因为不单主的道从你们那里传遍了马其顿和亚该亚, 就是你们对神的信心也传遍了各处, 所以我们不用再说什么了.

1:9 For they themselves report about us, what sort of welcome we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
他们都述说你们是怎样接待我们, 而且怎样离弃偶像归向神, 要服事这位又真又活的神,

1:10 and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.
并且等候他的儿子从天降临. 这就是神使他从死人中复活, 救我们脱离将来的忿怒的那位耶稣.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 2

2:1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our reception with you, that it was not in vain,
弟兄们, 你们都知道, 我们进到你们那里, 并不是白费工夫的.

2:2 but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, just as you know, we had the courage in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.
我们从前在腓立比虽然受了苦, 又被凌辱, 可是靠着我们的神, 在强烈的反对之下, 仍然放胆向你们述说神的福音, 这是你们知道的.

2:3 For our exhortation is not from error or from impurity or with deceit,
我们的呼吁, 不是错谬的, 不是污秽的, 也没有诡诈.

2:4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, thus we speak, not as pleasing people but God, who examines our hearts.
相反地, 神既然考验过我们, 把福音委托给我们, 我们就传讲, 不像是讨人欢心的, 而是讨那察验我们心思的神的喜悦.

2:5 For never did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God is witness),
我们从来不说奉承的话, 这是你们知道的, 神可以作证, 我们并没有借故起贪心,

2:6 nor seeking glory from people, neither from you nor from others.
也没有向你们或别人求取人的荣誉.

2:7 Although we could have insisted on our own importance as apostles of Christ, yet we became infants in your midst, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
我们身为基督使徒的, 虽然有权利受人尊敬, 但我们在你们中间却是谦和的, 就像母亲乳养自己的孩子.

2:8 Longing for you in this way, we determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls, because you had become dear to us.
我们这样疼爱你们, 不但乐意把神的福音传给你们, 连自己的性命也乐意给你们, 因为你们是我们所爱的.

2:9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and hardship: working by night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
弟兄们, 你们应该记得我们的辛苦和劳碌; 我们把神的福音传给你们的时候, 怎样昼夜作工, 免得你们有人受累.

2:10 You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and righteously and blamelessly we became to you who believe,
我们对你们信的人是多么圣洁,公义,无可指摘, 这是你们和神都可以作证的.

2:11 just as you know how we treated each one of you, like a father his own children,
正如你们知道的, 我们是怎样好像父亲对待儿女一样对待你们各人:

2:12 exhorting and consoling you and insisting that you live in a manner worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
劝勉你们, 鼓励你们, 叮嘱你们, 要你们行事为人, 配得上那召你们进入他的国和荣耀的神.

2:13 And because of this we also give thanks to God constantly, that when you received God’s word that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.
我们也为这缘故不住感谢神, 因为你们接受了我们所传的神的道, 不认为这是人的道, 而认为这确实是神的道. 这道也运行在你们信的人里面.

2:14 For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own people, just as they themselves did also at the hands of the Jews,
弟兄们, 你们好像犹太地在基督耶稣里神的众教会一样, 他们怎样遭受犹太人的迫害, 你们也照样遭受同族人的迫害.

2:15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and who persecuted us, and who are not pleasing to God and are opposed to all people,
这些犹太人杀了主耶稣和众先知, 又把我们赶出来. 他们得不到神的喜悦, 并且和所有的人作对,

2:16 hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved, so that they always fill up their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the end.
阻挠我们向外族人传道, 不让他们得救, 以致恶贯满盈. 神的忿怒终必临到他们身上.

2:17 But when we were made orphans by separation from you, brothers, for a short time (in face, not in heart), we were even more eager with great desire to see your face,
弟兄们, 我们被迫暂时离开你们, 不过是身体离开, 心却没有离开. 我们非常渴望再见到你们.

2:18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, on more than one occasion—and Satan hindered us.
因此, 我们很想到你们那里去, 我保罗也一再想去, 只是撒但阻挡了我们.

2:19 For who is our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?
我们主耶稣再来的时候, 我们在他面前的盼望,喜乐或所夸耀的冠冕是什么呢? 不就是你们吗?

2:20 For you are our glory and joy.
是的, 你们就是我们的荣耀, 我们的喜乐.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we determined to be left behind in Athens alone,
我们既然不能再忍下去, 就决定留在雅典,

3:2 and we sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, in order to strengthen and to encourage you about your faith,
派我们的弟兄, 就是在基督的福音上和神同工的提摩太去, 为了要在你们的信仰上坚定你们, 劝慰你们,

3:3 so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed for this,
免得有人在各样的患难中动摇了. 你们自己知道, 我们受患难原是命定的.

3:4 for indeed when we were with you we told you beforehand that we were about to be afflicted, just as indeed it happened, and you know.
我们在你们那里的时候, 早已对你们说过, 我们将会遭受患难. 后来应验了, 这是你们知道的.

3:5 Because of this, I also, when I could endure it no longer, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow the tempter tempted you and our labor should be in vain.
因此, 我既然不能再忍下去, 就派人去打听你们的信心怎样; 恐怕那试探人的诱惑了你们, 以致我们的劳苦白费了.

3:6 But now, because Timothy has come to us from you and has brought good news to us of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, desiring to see us just as also we desire to see you,
提摩太刚刚从你们那里回来, 把你们信心和爱心的好消息带给我们. 他还说, 你们常常怀念我们, 切切想见我们, 好像我们想见你们一样.

3:7 because of this, brothers, we have been comforted because of you in all our distress and affliction through your faith,
所以弟兄们, 我们在这一切困苦患难中, 因着你们的信心就得了安慰.

3:8 because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.
如果你们在主里站立得稳, 我们就可以活下去了.

3:9 For what thanks can we repay to God concerning you, because of all the joy with which we rejoice because of you before our God,
我们因你们的缘故, 在我们的神面前满有喜乐; 为这一切喜乐, 我们可以为你们向神献上怎么样的感谢呢!

3:10 night and day praying beyond all measure that we may see your face and complete what is lacking in your faith?
我们昼夜迫切祈求, 要见你们的面, 并且要补满你们信心的不足.

3:11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you,
愿我们的父神自己和我们的主耶稣为我们开路, 使我们可以到你们那里去.

3:12 and may the Lord cause you to increase and to abound in love for one another and for all, just as also we do for you,
又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心, 和爱众人的心, 都充充足足, 多而又多, 好像我们爱你们一样.

3:13 so that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
也愿他坚定你们的心, 好叫你们在我们主耶稣和众圣徒再来的时候, 在我们的父神面前, 完全圣洁, 无可指摘.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 4

4:1 Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to you in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more.
此外, 弟兄们, 我们在主耶稣里求你们, 劝你们, 你们既然接受了我们的教训, 知道应该怎样行事为人, 并且怎样讨神喜悦, 就要照你们现在所行的更进一步.

4:2 For you know what commands we gave to you through the Lord Jesus.
我们凭着主耶稣传给你们的是什么命令, 你们是知道的.

4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;
神的旨意是要你们圣洁, 远避淫行;

4:4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
要你们各人晓得怎样用圣洁尊贵的方法保守自己的身体(“身体”原文作“器皿”);

4:5 not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God;
不要放纵邪情私欲, 像那些不认识神的外族人一样;

4:6 not to transgress and to exploit his brother in the matter, because the Lord is the one who avenges concerning all these things, just as also we told you beforehand and testified solemnly.
谁也不要在这事上越轨, 占弟兄的便宜, 因为这一类的事, 主必报应. 这是我们从前告诉过你们, 又严严警戒过你们的.

4:7 For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness.
神呼召我们, 不是要我们沾染污秽, 而是要我们圣洁.

4:8 Therefore the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.
所以那弃绝这命令的, 不是弃绝人, 而是弃绝把他自己的圣灵赐给你们的那位神.

4:9 But concerning brotherly love, I do not have need to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
论到弟兄相爱, 用不着人写什么给你们, 因为你们自己受了神的教导, 要彼此相爱.

4:10 for indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to progress even more,
其实, 你们向全马其顿所有的弟兄, 已经这样行了. 但是, 弟兄们, 我们劝你们要更加彼此相爱;

4:11 and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you,
又要立志过安静的生活, 办自己的事, 亲手作工, 正如我们从前吩咐过你们,

4:12 so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.
使你们行事为人可以得到外人的尊敬, 自己也不会有什么缺乏了.

4:13 Now we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you will not grieve as also the rest, who have no hope.
弟兄们, 论到睡了的人, 我们不愿意你们不知道, 免得你们忧伤, 像那些没有盼望的人一样.

4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, thus also God will bring those who have fallen asleep through Jesus together with him.
我们若信耶稣死了, 又复活了, 照样, 也应该相信那些靠着耶稣已经睡了的人, 神必定把他们和耶稣一同带来.

4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain until the Lord’s coming, will not possibly precede those who have fallen asleep.
我们现在照着主的话告诉你们: 我们这些活着存留到主再来的人, 绝不能在那些睡了的人以先.

4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
因为主必亲自从天降临, 那时, 有发令的声音, 有天使长的呼声, 还有神的号声, 那些在基督里死了的人必先复活;

4:17 Then we who are alive, who remain, will be snatched away at the same time together with them in the clouds for a meeting with the Lord in the air, and thus we will be together with the Lord always.
然后, 我们还活着存留的人, 必和他们一同被提到云里, 在空中与主相会. 这样, 我们就要和主常常同在.

4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
所以, 你们应该用这些话彼此劝慰.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 5

5:1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you,
弟兄们, 论到时候和日期, 不用写什么给你们了.

5:2 for you yourselves well know that the day of the Lord is coming in the same way as a thief in the night.
因为你们自己清楚知道, 主的日子来到, 就像夜间的贼来到一样.

5:3 Whenever they say “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction will overtake them like the birth pains of a pregnant woman, and they will not possibly escape.
人正在说平安稳妥的时候, 毁灭性的灾祸就突然临到他们, 好像生产的痛苦临到怀胎的妇人一样, 他们绝不能逃脱.

5:4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness, so that the day should catch you like a thief,
但是弟兄们, 你们不在黑暗里, 以致那日子会临到你们像贼来到一样.

5:5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
你们都是光明之子,白昼之子; 我们不是属于黑夜的, 也不是属于黑暗的.

5:6 So then, we must not sleep like the rest, but must be on the alert and be self-controlled.
所以, 我们不要沉睡像别人一样, 总要警醒谨慎.

5:7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
因为睡觉的人是在晚上睡, 醉酒的人是在晚上醉;

5:8 But because we are of the day, we must be sober, by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope of salvation,
但我们既然属于白昼, 就应当谨慎, 披上信和爱的胸甲, 戴上救恩的盼望作头盔.

5:9 because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
因为神不是定意要我们受刑罚(“刑罚”原文作“忿怒”), 而是要我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得着救恩.

5:10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live at the same time with him.
基督替我们死, 使我们无论是醒着或睡着, 都和他一同活着.

5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as indeed you are doing.
所以, 你们应该彼此劝慰, 互相造就, 正如你们一向所行的.

5:12 Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and rule over you in the Lord and admonish you,
弟兄们, 我们求你们要敬重那些在你们中间劳苦的人, 就是在主里面治理你们,劝戒你们的人.

5:13 and to esteem them beyond all measure in love, because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
又因为他们的工作, 你们要用爱心格外尊重他们. 你们应当彼此和睦.

5:14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, console the discouraged, help the sick, be patient toward all people.
弟兄们, 我们劝你们, 要警戒游手好闲的人, 勉励灰心丧志的人, 扶助软弱无力的人, 也要容忍所有的人.

5:15 See to it that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue good toward one another and toward all people.
你们要注意, 不管是谁都不要以恶报恶, 却要在彼此相处和对待众人这方面, 常常追求良善.

5:16 Rejoice always,
要常常喜乐,

5:17 pray constantly,
不住祷告,

5:18 give thanks in everything; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
凡事谢恩; 这就是神在基督耶稣里给你们的旨意.

5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
不要熄灭圣灵的感动.

5:20 Do not despise prophecies,
不要藐视先知的话语.

5:21 but examine all things; hold fast to what is good.
凡事都要察验, 好的要持守,

5:22 Abstain from every form of evil.
各样的恶事要远离.

5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
愿赐平安的神亲自使你们完全成圣, 又愿你们整个人: 灵,魂和身体都得蒙保守, 在我们的主耶稣基督再来的时候, 无可指摘.

5:24 The one who calls you is faithful, who also will do this.
那呼召你们的是信实的, 他必成就这事.

5:25 Brothers, pray for us.
弟兄们, 请为我们祷告.

5:26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
要用圣洁的亲嘴问候众弟兄.

5:27 I adjure you by the Lord, have this letter read aloud to all the brothers.
我凭着主吩咐你们, 要把这封信读给众弟兄听.

5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在.

II Thessalonians (帖撒罗尼迦后书)

II Thessalonians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
保罗,西拉和提摩太, 写信给帖撒罗尼迦,在我们的父神和主耶稣基督里的教会.

愿恩惠平安从父神和主耶稣基督临到你们.

1:3 We ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers, just as it is fitting, because your faith is flourishing and the love of each one of you all toward one another is increasing
弟兄们, 我们应该常常为你们感谢神, 这是合适的. 因为你们的信心格外长进, 你们众人彼此相爱的心也在增加.

1:4 so that we ourselves boast in you in the churches of God about your patient endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions that you are enduring,
所以我们在神的众教会里, 亲自夸奖你们, 因为你们在所受的一切迫害患难中, 仍然存着坚忍和信心.

1:5 a proof of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which also you are suffering,
这正是神公义判断的明证, 使你们可以算是配得上他的国; 你们也是为了神的国而受苦.

1:6 since it is righteous in the sight of God to pay back those who are afflicting you with affliction,
神既然是公义的, 主耶稣和他有能力的天使从天上显现在火焰中的时候, 就使你们这些受灾难的人, 可以和我们同享安息; 却以灾难报应那些把灾难加给你们的人.

1:7 and to you who are being afflicted, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels,
神既然是公义的, 主耶稣和他有能力的天使从天上显现在火焰中的时候, 就使你们这些受灾难的人, 可以和我们同享安息; 却以灾难报应那些把灾难加给你们的人.

1:8 with burning flame giving punishment to those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus,
又要报应那些不认识神,不听从我们主耶稣的福音的人.

1:9 who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,
当主来的时候, 他们要受永远沉沦的惩罚, 就是离开主的面和他权能的荣光. 在那一天, 他要在圣徒身上得着荣耀, 又要在所有信徒身上受到尊崇(你们也在他们当中, 因为你们信了我们向你们所作的见证).

1:10 whenever he should come to be glorified on that day by his saints and to be marveled at by all who believe, because our testimony was believed among you,
当主来的时候, 他们要受永远沉沦的惩罚, 就是离开主的面和他权能的荣光. 在那一天, 他要在圣徒身上得着荣耀, 又要在所有信徒身上受到尊崇(你们也在他们当中, 因为你们信了我们向你们所作的见证).

1:11 for which purpose we also pray always for you, that you may be considered worthy of the calling of our God, and he might fulfill every desire for goodness and work of faith with power,
因此, 我们常常为你们祷告, 愿我们的神看你们是配得上所蒙的召, 又用大能成就你们所羡慕的一切良善和信心的工作,

1:12 in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
使我们主耶稣的名, 照着我们的神和主耶稣基督的恩, 在你们身上得着荣耀, 你们也在他身上得着荣耀.

II Thessalonians - Chapter 2

2:1 Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to him,
弟兄们, 关于我们主耶稣基督的再来, 和我们到他那里聚集的事, 我们求你们:

2:2 that you not be easily shaken from your composure, nor be troubled either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter alleged to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has arrived.
无论有灵,有话,有冒我们的名的书信, 说主的日子现在到了, 你们都不要轻易动心, 也不要惊慌.

2:3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
不要让人用任何方法迷惑了你们, 因为主的日子来到以前, 必定有背道的事, 并且那不法的人, 就是那沉沦之子, 必定显露出来.

2:4 who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.
他抵挡神, 抬举自己, 高过一切称为神和受人敬拜的, 甚至坐在神的殿中, 自称为神.

2:5 Do you not remember that while we were still with you, we were saying these things to you?
我还在你们那里的时候, 曾经把这些事告诉你们, 你们不记得吗?

2:6 And you know that which restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his own time.
现在你们也知道, 那箝制他, 使他到了时候才可以显露出来的是什么.

2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is at work already; only the one who now restrains will do so until he is out of the way,
因为那不法的潜力已经发动, 只是现在有一个箝制他的在那里, 直等到那箝制解除了,

2:8 and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and wipe out by the appearance of his coming,
那时, 这不法的人必要显露出来. 主耶稣要用自己口中的气除掉他, 以自己再来所显现的光辉消灭他.

2:9 whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,
这不法的人来到, 是照着撒但的行动, 行各样的异能奇迹和荒诞的事,

2:10 and with every unrighteous deception against those who are perishing, in place of which they did not accept the love of the truth, so that they would be saved.
并且在那些沉沦的人身上, 行各样不义的欺诈, 因为他们不领受爱真理的心, 使他们得救.

2:11 And because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie,
因此, 神就使错谬的思想运行在他们当中, 让他们相信虚谎,

2:12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.
叫所有不信真理倒喜爱不义的人, 都被定罪.

2:13 But we ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers dearly loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as first fruits for salvation by the sanctification of the Spirit and faith in the truth,
主所爱的弟兄们, 我们应该常常为你们感谢神, 因为他从起初就拣选了你们, 借着圣灵成圣的工作, 和你们对真道的信心, 使你们可以得救.

2:14 for which purpose he called you through our gospel for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
因此, 神借着我们所传的福音呼召你们, 使你们得着我们主耶稣基督的荣耀.

2:15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions which you were taught, whether by spoken word or by letter from us.
所以弟兄们, 你们要站立得稳; 你们所领受的教训, 无论是我们口传的, 或是信上写的, 都要持守.

2:16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,
愿我们的主耶稣基督自己, 和那爱我们,开恩把永远的安慰和美好的盼望赐给我们的父神,

2:17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word.
安慰你们的心, 并且在一切善行善言上, 坚定你们.

II Thessalonians - Chapter 3

3:1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may progress and be honored, just as also it was with you,
最后, 弟兄们, 请为我们祷告, 好叫主的道也像在你们那里一样快快传开, 得着荣耀,

3:2 and that we may be delivered from evil and wicked people, for not all have the faith.
也使我们能够脱离那些不讲理的恶人, 因为不是人人都有信心.

3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
主是信实的, 他必坚定你们, 保护你们脱离那恶者.

3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are both doing and you will do the things that we are commanding.
我们靠着主深深相信, 你们现在以及将来都会遵行我们所吩咐的,

3:5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.
愿主引导你们的心, 使你们有神的爱和基督的坚忍.

3:6 But we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who lives irresponsibly and not according to the tradition that they received from us.
弟兄们, 我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐你们, 凡是游手好闲的弟兄, 不按着你们从我们所领受的教训去行, 就应当远离他.

3:7 For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us, that we did not behave irresponsibly among you,
你们自己本来就知道应当怎样效法我们, 因为我们在你们中间并没有游手好闲,

3:8 nor did we eat bread from anyone without paying, but with toil and labor, we were working night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you,
也没有白吃过谁的饭, 反而辛苦劳碌, 昼夜作工, 免得加重你们任何一人的负担.

3:9 not that we do not have the right, but so that we may give ourselves as an example to you, so that you may imitate us.
这不是因为我们没有权利, 而是要给你们作榜样, 好让你们效法我们.

3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat.
我们在你们那里的时候, 曾经吩咐过你们, 如果有人不肯作工, 就不可吃饭.

3:11 For we hear that some among you are living irresponsibly, working at nothing, but being busybodies.
因为我们听说, 你们中间有人游手好闲, 什么工也不作, 反倒专管闲事.

3:12 Now we command and we exhort such people in the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with quietness, they eat their own bread.
我们靠着主耶稣基督, 吩咐劝戒这样的人, 要安静作工, 自食其力.

3:13 But as for you, brothers, do not be discouraged while doing what is right.
弟兄们, 你们行善不可灰心.

3:14 But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note not to associate with him, in order that he may be put to shame.
如果有人不听从我们这封信上的训勉, 要把这个人记下来, 不可和他来往, 好叫他自己觉得惭愧.

3:15 And do not consider him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
但不要把他看作仇敌, 却要劝他好像劝弟兄一样.

3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself grant you peace through everything in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
愿赐平安的主亲自随时随地赐平安给你们. 愿主与你们众人同在.

3:17 The greeting is by my hand, Paul’s, which is a sign of genuineness in every letter: this is how I write.
我保罗亲笔问候你们. 这是我每一封信的记号; 我的笔迹就是这样.

3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们众人同在.

I Timothy (提摩太前书)

I Timothy - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
奉我们的救主神, 和我们的盼望基督耶稣的命令, 作基督耶稣使徒的保罗,

1:2 to Timothy, my true child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
写信给因信主而作我真儿子的提摩太. 愿恩惠,怜悯,平安从父神和我们的主基督耶稣临到你.

1:3 Just as I urged you when I traveled to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that you may instruct certain people not to teach other doctrine,
我往马其顿去的时候, 曾经劝你留在以弗所, 为要嘱咐某些人, 不可传别的教义,

1:4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause useless speculations rather than God’s plan that is by faith.
也不可沉迷于无稽之谈和无穷的家谱; 这些事只能引起争论, 对于神在信仰上所定的计划是毫无帮助的.

1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a faith without hypocrisy,
这嘱咐的目的是出于爱; 这爱是发自纯洁的心,无愧的良心和无伪的信心.

1:6 from which some have deviated, and have turned away into fruitless discussion,
有些人偏离了这些, 就转向无意义的辩论,

1:7 wanting to be teachers of the law, although they do not understand either the things which they are saying or the things concerning which they are speaking confidently.
想要作律法教师, 却不明白自己讲的是什么, 主张的又是什么.

1:8 But we know that the law is good, if anyone makes use of it lawfully,
我们知道律法是好的, 只要应用得恰当.

1:9 knowing this, that the law is not given for a righteous person but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and totally worldly, for the one who kills his father and the one who kills his mother, for murderers,
要知道律法本来不是为义人设立的, 而是为那些无法无天和放荡不羁的,不敬虔和犯罪的,不圣洁和世俗的,弒父母和杀人的,

1:10 sexually immoral people, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound teaching,
淫乱的,亲男色的,拐带人口的,说谎话的,发假誓的, 以及为其他抵挡纯正教训的人设立的.

1:11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God that I was entrusted with.
这是照着可称颂的,荣耀的神所交托我的福音说的.

1:12 I give thanks to the one who strengthens me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful, placing me into ministry,
我感谢那赐我能力的,我们的主基督耶稣, 因为他认为我有忠心, 派我服事他.

1:13 although I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, but I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,
我从前是亵渎神的,迫害人的,凌辱人的, 然而我还蒙了怜悯, 因为我是在不信的时候, 由于无知而作的.

1:14 and the grace of our Lord abounded with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
我们主的恩典, 随着在基督耶稣里的信心和爱心, 在我身上越发增加.

1:15 The saying is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
“基督耶稣降世, 为要拯救罪人. ”这话是可信的, 是值得完全接纳的. 在罪人中我是个罪魁.

1:16 But because of this I was shown mercy, in order that in me foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his total patience, for an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.
可是, 我竟然蒙了怜悯, 好让基督耶稣在我这个罪魁身上, 显明他完全的忍耐, 给后来信他得永生的人作榜样.

1:17 Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, to the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
但愿尊贵荣耀归给万世的君王, 就是那不朽坏,人不能见,独一的神, 直到永永远远. 阿们.

1:18 I am setting before you this instruction, Timothy my child, in accordance with the prophecies spoken long ago about you, in order that by them you may fight the good fight,
我儿提摩太啊! 我照着从前关于你的预言, 把这命令交托你, 为的是要叫你借着这些预言打那美好的仗.

1:19 having faith and a good conscience, which some, because they have rejected these, have suffered shipwreck concerning their faith,
常常存着信心和无愧的良心. 有些人丢弃良心, 就在信仰上失落了.

1:20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, in order that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
他们当中有许米乃和亚历山大, 我已经把他们交给撒但, 使他们受管教不再亵渎.

I Timothy - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore, I urge first of all that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgiving be made on behalf of all people,
因此, 我劝你最重要的是要为万人,君王和一切有权位的恳求,祷告,代求和感恩, 好让我们可以敬虔庄重地过平静安稳的日子.

2:2 on behalf of kings and all those who are in authority, in order that we may live a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
因此, 我劝你最重要的是要为万人,君王和一切有权位的恳求,祷告,代求和感恩, 好让我们可以敬虔庄重地过平静安稳的日子.

2:3 This is good and acceptable before God our Savior,
在我们的救主神看来, 这是美好的, 可蒙悦纳的.

2:4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
他愿意万人得救, 并且充分认识真理.

2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and human beings, the man Christ Jesus,
因为神只有一位, 在神和人中间也只有一位中保, 就是降世为人的基督耶稣.

2:6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
他舍了自己作万人的赎价, 到了适当的时候, 这事就证实了.

2:7 for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am speaking the truth, I am not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
为了这事, 我也被派作传道的和使徒(我说的是真话, 不是谎言), 在信仰和真理上作外族人的教师.

2:8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and dispute.
因此, 我愿意男人没有忿怒, 没有争论, 举起圣洁的手随处祷告.

2:9 Likewise also the women should adorn themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothing,
照样, 我也愿意女人以端正,娴淑,自律为装饰; 不要以鬈发,金饰,珠宝, 或名贵衣裳为装饰,

2:10 but with good deeds which are fitting for women who profess godliness.
却要以善行作装饰, 这才配称为敬畏神的女人.

2:11 A woman must learn in quietness with all submission.
女人应该安静而又完全顺服地学习.

2:12 But I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
我不准女人教训男人, 辖制男人; 女人总要安静.

2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve,
因为先造的是亚当, 后造的是夏娃;

2:14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was deceived, came into transgression.
不是亚当受了引诱, 而是女人受了引诱, 陷在过犯里面.

2:15 But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
然而女人要是常常存着信心,爱心,圣洁自律, 在她生育的事上必定得救.

I Timothy - Chapter 3

3:1 The saying is trustworthy: if anyone aspires to supervision, he desires a good work.
“如果有人渴慕监督的职分, 他就是爱慕善工. ”这话是可信的.

3:2 Therefore the overseer must be irreproachable, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching,
所以作监督的, 必须无可指摘, 只作一个妻子的丈夫, 有节制, 自律, 庄重, 乐意接待客旅, 善于教导,

3:3 not addicted to wine, not a violent person, but gentle, peaceable, not loving money,
不好酒, 不打人, 只要温和, 与人无争, 不贪财,

3:4 managing his own household well, having children in submission with all dignity
好好管理自己的家, 使儿女凡事敬重顺服.

3:5 (but if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),
(人若不知道怎样管理自己的家, 怎能照料神的教会呢? )

3:6 not newly converted, lest he become conceited and fall into the condemnation of the devil.
初信主的不可作监督, 恐怕他骄傲, 就落在魔鬼所受的刑罚里.

3:7 But he must also have a good testimony from those outside, in order that he may not fall into disgrace and the trap of the devil.
作监督的也必须在教外有好声誉, 免得他被人毁谤, 就落在魔鬼的陷阱里.

3:8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not insincere, not devoted to much wine, not fond of dishonest gain,
照样, 执事也必须庄重, 不一口两舌, 不酗酒, 不贪不义之财,

3:9 holding the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience,
用清洁的良心持守信仰的奥秘.

3:10 and these also must be tested first; then let them serve if they are above reproach.
他们也必须先受考验, 若没有可责之处, 然后才让他们作执事.

3:11 The wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderous, temperate, faithful in all things.
照样, 他们的妻子(“他们的妻子”可解作“女执事”)也要庄重, 不说谗言, 有节制, 凡事忠心.

3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.
执事只可以作一个妻子的丈夫, 善于管理儿女和自己的家.

3:13 For those who have served well acquire a good standing for themselves, and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
那善于作执事的, 就为自己得了好的位分, 也因着相信基督耶稣得到大大的胆量.

3:14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you in a short time.
我把这些事写给你, 希望不久可以到你那里去;

3:15 But if I am delayed, I am writing in order that you may know how one must conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and mainstay of the truth.
假如我来迟了, 你也可以知道在神的家里应该怎样行. 这家就是永活神的教会,真理的柱石和根基.

3:16 And most certainly, great is the mystery of godliness: Who was revealed in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
敬虔的奥秘真伟大啊, 这是众人所公认的, 就是: “他在肉身显现, 在圣灵里称义, 被天使看见; 被传于列国, 被世人信服, 被接到荣耀里. ”

I Timothy - Chapter 4

4:1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
圣灵明明地说, 日后必有人离弃信仰, 跟从虚谎的邪灵和鬼魔的教训.

4:2 by the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their own conscience,
这教训是出于说谎的人的虚伪, 他们的良心好像被烧红的铁烙了一般.

4:3 who forbid marrying and insist on abstaining from foods that God created for sharing in with thankfulness by those who believe and who know the truth,
他们禁止嫁娶, 禁戒食物. 食物本是神所造的, 是给信主和认识真理的人存感谢的心领受的.

4:4 because everything created by God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thankfulness,
因为凡神所造的, 都是好的, 只要存感谢的心领受, 没有一样是可以弃绝的;

4:5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
都因着神的道和人的祈求成为圣洁了.

4:6 By teaching these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed faithfully.
你若把这些事提醒弟兄们, 就是基督耶稣的好仆役, 常在信仰的话语上, 和你所遵从美善的教训上得着培养.

4:7 But reject those worthless myths told by elderly women, and train yourself for godliness.
总要弃绝世俗以及老妇的无稽之谈; 要操练自己达到敬虔的地步.

4:8 For the training of the body is somewhat profitable, but godliness is profitable for everything, because it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come.
因为操练身体, 益处还少; 唯独操练敬虔, 凡事有益, 享有今生和来世的应许.

4:9 The statement is trustworthy and deserving of complete acceptance.
这话是可信的, 是值得完全接纳的.

4:10 For to this end we labor and suffer reproach, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.
我们也是为这缘故劳苦努力, 因为我们的盼望在于永活的神. 他是万人的救主, 更是信徒的救主.

4:11 Command these things and teach them.
这些事你要嘱咐人, 教导人.

4:12 Let no one look down on your youth, but be an example for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
不要叫人小看你年轻, 总要在言语,行为,爱心,信心和纯洁上, 都作信徒的榜样.

4:13 Until I come, pay attention to the public reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
在我来以前, 你要专心宣读圣经,劝勉和教导.

4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, that was granted to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the council of elders.
不要忽略你所得的恩赐, 就是众长老按手时借着预言赐给你的.

4:15 Practice these things. Be diligent in these things, in order that your progress may be evident to everyone.

你要谨慎自己, 留心自己的教训. 在这些事上要有恒心, 因为你这样作, 不但能救自己, 也能救那些听你的人.

I Timothy - Chapter 5

5:1 Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as a father, younger men as brothers,
不要严厉责备老年人, 却要劝他好像劝父亲; 劝青年人好像劝弟兄;

5:2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
劝年老的妇人好像劝母亲; 存着纯洁的心, 劝青年女子好像劝姊妹.

5:3 Honor widows who are truly widows.
要敬重供养那些无依无靠的寡妇.

5:4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to show profound respect for their own household first, and to pay back recompense to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
寡妇若有儿孙, 就应当让儿孙先在自己家里学习孝道, 报答亲恩, 因为这在神面前是蒙悦纳的.

5:5 But the widow who is one truly, and is left alone, has put her hope in God and continues in her petitions and prayers night and day.
那无依无靠独居的寡妇, 她们仰望神, 昼夜不住地祈求祷告.

5:6 But the one who lives for sensual pleasure is dead even though she lives.
寡妇若奢侈宴乐, 虽然活着也是死的.

5:7 And command these things, in order that they may be irreproachable.
这些事你要嘱咐她们, 使她们无可指摘.

5:8 But if someone does not provide for his own relatives, and especially the members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
人若连自己的家人也不供养, 就是背弃信仰, 比不信的人还不如.

5:9 Let a widow be put on the list if she is not less than sixty years old, the wife of one husband,
寡妇登记, 年纪必须到达六十岁, 只作过一个丈夫的妻子,

5:10 being well-attested by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality, if she has washed the feet of the saints, if she has helped those who are oppressed, if she has devoted herself to every good work.
并且要有善行的见证: 就如养育儿女, 接待客旅, 替圣徒洗脚, 救济困苦的人, 尽力行各样的善事等.

5:11 But refuse younger widows, for whenever their physical desires lead them away from Christ, they want to marry,
至于年轻的寡妇, 不要给她们登记, 因为她们一旦情欲冲动而背弃基督的时候, 就想结婚.

5:12 thus incurring condemnation because they have broken their former pledge.
她们被定罪, 是因为丢弃了起初的信誓.

5:13 And at the same time also, going around from house to house, they learn to be idle, and not only idle, but also gossipy and busybodies, saying the things that are not necessary.
同时, 她们懒惰惯了, 挨家闲游; 不但懒惰, 而且好说闲话, 好管闲事, 说不该说的话.

5:14 Therefore I want younger widows to marry, to bear children, to manage a household, to give the adversary no opportunity for reproach.
因此, 我愿年轻的寡妇结婚, 生儿育女, 管理家务, 不给敌人有辱骂的机会;

5:15 For already some have turned away and followed after Satan.
因为有些人已经转去跟从撒但了.

5:16 If any believing woman has widows, she must help them, and the church must not be burdened, in order that it may help those who are truly widows.
如果信主的妇女家中有寡妇, 她就应该救济她们, 不要让教会受累. 这样, 教会就可以救济那些无依无靠的寡妇了.

5:17 The elders who lead well must be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor by speaking and teaching.
那些善于治理教会的长老, 尤其是那些在讲道和教导上劳苦的长老, 你们应当看他们是配受加倍的敬重和供奉的.

5:18 For the scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is threshing,” and “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
因为经上说: “牛踹谷的时候, 不可笼住它的嘴. ”又说: “作工的配得工价. ”

5:19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
控诉长老的事, 除非有两三个证人, 否则不要受理.

5:20 Reprove those who sin in the presence of all, in order that the rest also may experience fear.
常常犯罪的, 你要当众责备他们, 使其余的人也有所惧怕.

5:21 I testify solemnly before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.
我在神和基督耶稣以及蒙拣选的天使面前叮嘱你, 要毫无成见地持守这些话, 行事也不要偏心.

5:22 Lay hands on no one hastily, and do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
不要匆匆忙忙地替别人按手, 也不要在别人的罪上有分, 要保守自己清洁.

5:23 (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach and your frequent illnesses.)
因为你的胃不好, 而且身体常常软弱, 不要单单喝水, 可以稍微用点酒.

5:24 The sins of some people are evident, preceding them to judgment, but for some also they follow after them.
有些人的罪是明显的, 就先受审判; 有些人的罪是后来才显露出来的.

5:25 Likewise also good works are evident, and those considered otherwise are not able to be hidden.
照样, 善行也是明显的, 就算不明显, 也不能隐藏.

I Timothy - Chapter 6

6:1 All those who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lest the name of God and the teaching be slandered.
凡负轭作奴仆的, 应当看自己的主人是配受十分的敬重, 免得神的名和道理被人亵渎.

6:2 And those who have believing masters must not look down on them because they are brothers, but rather they must serve, because those who benefit by their service are believers and dearly loved. Teach and encourage these things.
奴仆有信主的主人, 不可因为他们是弟兄而轻看他们; 倒要加意服事他们, 因为这些受到服事的益处的, 是信主蒙爱的人. 你要把这些事教导人, 劝勉人.

6:3 If anyone teaches other doctrine and does not devote himself to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness,
如果有人传别的教义, 不接受我们的主耶稣基督纯正的话语, 和那敬虔的道理,

6:4 he is conceited, understanding nothing, but having a morbid interest concerning controversies and disputes about words, from which come envy, strife, slanders, evil suspicions,
他是自高自大, 一无所知, 反而专好问难争辩, 由此产生妒忌,纷争,毁谤,恶意的猜疑,

6:5 constant wrangling by people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who consider godliness to be a means of gain.
就和那些心术败坏, 丧失真理的人不断地争竞. 他们视敬虔为得利的门路.

6:6 But godliness with contentment is a great means of gain.
其实敬虔而又知足, 就是得大利的途径,

6:7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so that neither can we bring anything out.
因为我们没有带什么到世上来, 也不能带什么去.

6:8 But if we have food and clothing, with these things we will be content.
只要有衣有食, 就应当知足.

6:9 But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge those people into ruin and destruction.
但那些想要发财的人, 就落在试探中和陷阱里; 又落在许多无知而有害的私欲里, 使人沉沦在败坏和灭亡中;

6:10 For the love of money is a root of all evil, by which some, because they desire it, have gone astray from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains.
因为贪财是万恶之根. 有人贪爱钱财, 就被引诱离开真道, 用许多痛苦把自己刺透了.

6:11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patient endurance, gentleness.
但你这属神的人啊, 应该逃避这些事, 要追求公义,敬虔,信心,爱心,忍耐和温柔.

6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
要为信仰打那美好的仗, 持定永生; 你是为这永生而蒙召的, 又在许多的证人面前承认过美好的信仰.

6:13 I command you, in the sight of God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
我在赐生命给万物的神面前, 并那在本丢．彼拉多面前见证过美好的信仰的基督耶稣面前嘱咐你,

6:14 that you observe the commandment without fault, irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
你当毫无玷污, 无可指摘地持守这命令, 直到我们主耶稣基督的显现.

6:15 which he will make known in his own time, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,
到了适当的时候, 那可称颂的,独一的全能者, 万王之王, 万主之主, 必把基督的显现表明出来.

6:16 the one who alone possesses immortality, who lives in unapproachable light, whom no human being has seen nor is able to see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
只有他永远不死, 住在不能接近的光里, 没有人见过他, 人也不能看见他. 愿尊荣和永远的权能都归给他. 阿们.

6:17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be proud and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in God, who provides us all things richly for enjoyment,
你要嘱咐那些今世富有的人, 叫他们不要心高气傲, 也不要寄望在浮动的财富上, 却要仰望那厚赐百物给我们享用的神.

6:18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, sharing freely,
又要嘱咐他们行善, 在善事上富足, 慷慨好施.

6:19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the future, in order that they may take hold of what is truly life.
这样, 就为自己在来世积聚财富, 作美好的基础, 好叫他们能够得着那真正的生命.

6:20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Turn away from pointless empty talk and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge,
提摩太啊, 你要保守所交托你的, 避免世俗的空谈和冒称是知识的那种反调;

6:21 which some, by professing it, have deviated concerning the faith. Grace be with you all.
有些人自称有这知识, 就偏离了真道. 愿恩惠与你们同在.

II Timothy (提摩太后书)

II Timothy - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
奉神旨意, 凭着在基督耶稣里的生命的应许, 作基督耶稣使徒的保罗,

1:2 to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
写信给亲爱的儿子提摩太, 愿恩惠,怜悯,平安从父神和我们的主基督耶稣临到你.

1:3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day,
我感谢神, 就是我像我祖先一样, 以清洁的良心所事奉的神, 在祷告中昼夜不断地记念你;

1:4 longing to see you as I remember your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,
一想起你流的眼泪, 我就渴望见你, 好叫我满有喜乐.

1:5 remembering the sincere faith in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that is in you also,
我记得你心里无伪的信心, 这信心原先是在你外祖母罗以和你母亲友尼基心里的, 我深信也在你的心里.

1:6 for which reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands.
为了这缘故, 我提醒你, 要把神借着我按手给你的恩赐, 像火一样再挑旺起来.

1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-discipline.
因为神所赐给我们的, 不是胆怯的灵, 而是有能力,仁爱,自律的灵.

1:8 Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor me his prisoner, but suffer along with me for the gospel, according to the power of God,
所以, 不要以给我们的主作见证当作羞耻, 也不要以我这为主被囚的当作羞耻, 却要为了福音的缘故, 靠着神的大能, 与我同受磨难.

1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace that was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
神救了我们, 以圣召呼召我们, 不是按照我们的行为, 却是按照他自己的计划和恩典; 这恩典是在永世之先, 在基督耶稣里赐给了我们的,

1:10 but has now been disclosed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought to light life and immortality through the gospel,
但现在借着我们救主基督耶稣的显现, 才表明出来. 他废掉了死亡, 借着福音把生命和不朽彰显出来.

1:11 for which I was appointed a proclaimer and an apostle and a teacher,
为这福音, 我被派作传道的,使徒和教师.

1:12 for which reason also I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know in whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted until that day.
为了这缘故, 我也受这些苦, 但我不以为耻, 因为我知道我所信的是谁, 也深信他能保守我所交托他的, 直到那日.

1:13 Hold fast to the pattern of sound words which you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
你要靠着在基督耶稣里的信心和爱心, 常常坚守从我这里听过的话, 作为纯正话语的模范;

1:14 Guard the good deposit through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
又要靠着那住在我们里面的圣灵, 保守所交托你的善道.

1:15 You know this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
你知道所有在亚西亚的人都离弃了我, 他们当中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼.

1:16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me many times, and was not ashamed of my imprisonment,
愿主赐怜悯给阿尼色弗一家的人, 因为他多次使我畅快, 也不以我的锁链为耻;

1:17 but when he was in Rome, he diligently sought me and found me.
他竟然来到罗马, 迫切地寻找我, 结果找到了.

1:18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day! And how much he served me in Ephesus you know very well.
(愿主在那日使他从主那里得着怜悯. )你也清楚知道他在以弗所是怎样多方服事我.

II Timothy - Chapter 2

2:1 You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
所以, 我儿啊, 你应当在基督耶稣的恩典里刚强起来,

2:2 and the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these things to faithful people who will be competent to teach others also.
又应当把你在许多见证人面前从我这里听见的, 交托给那些又忠心又能够教导别人的人.

2:3 Suffer together with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
你应当和我同受磨难, 好像基督耶稣的精兵.

2:4 No one who serves as a soldier is entangled in the activities of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him.
当兵的人不让世务缠身, 为要使那招兵的人欢喜.

2:5 And also if anyone competes he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
竞赛的人若不遵守规则, 就不能得冠冕.

2:6 The farmer who works hard must be the first to receive a share of the crops.
劳力的农夫理当先尝果实.

2:7 Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will grant you understanding in all these things.
你要想想我的话, 因为凡事主必给你领悟力.

2:8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David according to my gospel,
你要记得那从死人中复活的耶稣基督, 他是大卫的后裔所生的, 这就是我所传的福音.

2:9 in connection with which I suffer misfortune to the point of imprisonment as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound.
我为了这福音受了磨难, 甚至像犯人一样被捆绑起来; 可是, 神的话却不被捆绑.

2:10 Because of this, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, in order that they also may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
因此, 我为了选民忍受一切, 好叫他们也可以得着在基督耶稣里的救恩, 和永远的荣耀.

2:11 The saying is trustworthy: For if we died with him, we will also live with him;
“我们若与基督同死, 就必与他同活;

2:12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
我们若能坚忍, 就必与他一同作王; 我们若不认他, 他必不认我们;

2:13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful—he cannot deny himself.
我们纵然不信, 他仍然是信实的, 因为他不能否定自己. ”这话是可信的.

2:14 Remind people of these things, solemnly urging them before the Lord not to dispute about words. This is in no way beneficial and leads to the ruin of the hearers.
你要在神面前把这些事提醒众人, 叮嘱他们不要作无益的争辩; 这只能败坏听见的人.

2:15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, a worker having no need to be ashamed, guiding the word of truth along a straight path.
你应当竭力在神面前作一个蒙称许,无愧的工人, 正确地讲解真理的道.

2:16 But avoid pointless chatter, for it will progress to greater ungodliness,
总要远避世俗的空谈, 因为这些必会引人进到更不敬虔的地步.

2:17 and their message will spread like gangrene, among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
他们的话好像毒瘤一样蔓延; 他们当中有许米乃和腓理徒.

2:18 who have deviated concerning the truth by saying the resurrection has already taken place, and they are upsetting the faith of some.
他们偏离了真道, 说复活的事已经过去了, 于是毁坏了一些人的信心.

2:19 However, the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “Everyone who names the name of the Lord must abstain from unrighteousness.”
然而, 神坚固的根基已经立定, 上面刻着这样的印: “主认识属于他的人”和“凡称呼主名的人都应当离开不义”.

2:20 Now in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthenware ones, some of which are for honorable use, and some of which are for ordinary use.
在富贵人的家里(“富贵人的家里”原文作“大房子”), 不但有金器,银器, 也有木器,瓦器; 有贵重的, 也有卑贱的.

2:21 Therefore, if someone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
人若自洁, 离开卑贱的事, 就必作贵重的器皿, 成为圣洁, 合主使用, 预备行各样的善事.

2:22 But flee from youthful desires, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.
你应当逃避年轻人的私欲, 要和那些以清洁的心求告主的人, 一同追求公义,信心,爱心,和平.

2:23 But avoid foolish and uninformed controversies, because you know that they produce quarrels.
你要拒绝愚蠢无知的问难; 你知道这些事会引起争论.

2:24 And the slave of the Lord must not quarrel, but be kind toward everyone, skillful in teaching, tolerant,
但主的仆人却不可争论, 总要待人温和, 善于教导, 存心忍耐,

2:25 correcting those who are opposed with gentleness, seeing whether perhaps God may grant them repentance to a knowledge of the truth,
以温柔劝导那些对抗的人, 或许神给他们悔改的心, 可以认识真理.

2:26 and they will come to their senses again and escape from the trap of the devil, being held captive by him to do his will.
他们虽然曾经被魔鬼掳去, 随从他的意思而行, 或许也能醒悟过来, 脱离魔鬼的陷阱.

II Timothy - Chapter 3

3:1 But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come,
你应当知道, 末后的日子必有艰难的时期来到.

3:2 for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
那时, 人会专爱自己,贪爱钱财,自夸,高傲,亵渎,悖逆父母,忘恩负义,不圣洁,

3:3 hardhearted, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, with no interest for what is good,
没有亲情,不肯和解,恶言中伤,不能自律,横蛮凶暴,不爱良善,

3:4 traitors, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God,
卖主卖友,容易冲动,傲慢自大,爱享乐过于爱神,

3:5 maintaining a form of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid these people.
有敬虔的形式, 却否定敬虔的能力; 这些人你应当避开.

3:6 For from these are those who slip into houses and captivate foolish women loaded down with sins, led by various kinds of desires,
他们中间有人潜入别人的家里, 操纵无知的妇女. 这些妇女被罪压住, 又被各种私欲拖累,

3:7 always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
虽然常常学习, 总不能充分明白真理.

3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, people corrupted in mind, disqualified concerning the faith.
从前雅尼和杨蓓怎样反对摩西, 这些人也怎样反对真理. 他们的心思败坏, 信仰也经不起考验.

3:9 But they will not progress to a greater extent, for their folly will be quite evident to everyone, as also the folly of those two was.
然而他们不能再这样下去了, 因为他们的愚昧终必在众人面前显露出来, 好像那两个人一样.

3:10 But you have faithfully followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
但是, 你已经了解我的教训,品行,志向,信心,宽容,爱心和忍耐,

3:11 persecutions, and sufferings that happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra, what sort of persecutions I endured, and the Lord delivered me from all of them.
以及我在安提阿,以哥念,路司得所受的苦和迫害. 我所忍受的是怎样的迫害; 这一切主都救我脱离了.

3:12 And indeed, all those who want to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

务要传道; 无论时机是否适合, 都要常作准备; 要以多方的忍耐和教训责备人,警戒人,劝勉人.

4:8 Finally, the crown of righteousness is reserved for me, that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing.
从此以后, 有公义的冠冕为我存留, 就是按公义审判的主在那日要赏给我的; 不但赏给我, 也赏给所有爱慕他显现的人.

你要尽快到我这里来.

4:10 For Demas deserted me, because he loved the present age, and went to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia; Titus went to Dalmatia.
因为底马贪爱现今的世界, 就离弃我到帖撒罗尼迦去了. 革勒士去了加拉太, 提多去了达马太.

我在特罗亚留在加布那里的外衣, 你来的时候要把它带来, 还有那些书卷, 特别是那些羊皮卷, 也要带来.

铜匠亚历山大作了许多恶事陷害我, 主必按着他所行的报应他.

4:15 against whom you also be on guard, because he vehemently opposed our words.

我第一次申辩的时候, 没有一个人支持我, 反而离弃我. 但愿这罪不要归在他们身上.

4:17 But the Lord helped me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fulfilled and all the Gentiles might hear, and he rescued me from the lion’s mouth.
然而主站在我旁边, 加给我力量, 使福音的信息借着我尽都传开, 万国的人都可以听见; 他并且把我从狮子口中救出来.

1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear friend and fellow worker,
为基督耶稣被囚禁的保罗, 和提摩太弟兄, 写信给我们所爱的, 又一同作工的腓利门,

1:2 and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house.
和亚腓亚姊妹, 并我们的战友亚基布, 以及在你家里的教会.

1:3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督临到你们.

1:4 I thank my God, always making mention of you in my prayers,
我听见你对主耶稣和众圣徒有爱心和信心, 我每逢祷告提到你的时候, 就常常感谢我的神.

1:5 because I hear about your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints.

1:7 For I have great joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
弟兄啊, 众圣徒的心既然从你得到舒畅, 我也因你的爱心, 得到更大的喜乐和安慰.

1:8 Therefore, although I have great confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,
我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事,

1:9 instead I appeal to you because of love, since I am such a one as Paul, now an old man and also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
然而像我这上了年纪的保罗, 现在又是为基督耶稣被囚禁的, 宁愿凭着爱心请求你,

1:10 I am appealing to you concerning my child whom I became the father of during my imprisonment, Onesimus.
就是为我在囚禁时所生的儿子欧尼西慕求你;

1:11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is useful to you and to me,
他从前对你没有什么好处, 但现在对你我都有好处.

1:12 whom I have sent back to you himself, that is, my heart,
我现在打发他亲自回到你那里去; 他是我所心爱的.

1:13 whom I wanted to keep with me, in order that he might serve me on behalf of you during my imprisonment for the gospel.
我本来想把他留在我这里, 使他在我为福音被囚禁时, 可以替你服事我.

1:14 But apart from your consent, I wanted to do nothing, in order that your good deed might be not as according to necessity, but according to your own free will.
但还没有得到你的同意, 我就不愿意这样作, 好叫你的善行不是出于勉强, 而是出于甘心.

1:15 For perhaps because of this, he was separated from you for a time, in order that you might have him back forever,
也许他暂时离开你, 正是为了使你永远得着他,

1:16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
不再是奴仆, 而是高过奴仆, 是亲爱的弟兄. 对我固然是这样, 对你来说, 不论按肉身或在主内的关系, 更是这样.

1:17 If therefore you consider me a partner, receive him as you would me.
所以, 你要是把我看作同伴, 就接纳他好像接纳我一样.

1:18 But if in anything he has caused you loss or owes you anything, charge this to my account.
如果他使你受了损失, 或欠你什么, 都记在我的帐上.

1:19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will pay it back, lest I mention to you that you owe me even your very self besides.
“我必偿还”, 这是我保罗亲手写的. 用不着我说, 甚至你的生命, 你也是欠我的.

1:20 Yes, brother, I ought to have some benefit of you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

1:24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

1:25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
愿主耶稣基督的恩惠常与你们同在. (“与你们同在”原文作“与你们的心灵同在”; 好些抄本在这书末有“阿们”一词. )

Hebrews (希伯来书)

Hebrews - Chapter 1

1:1 Although God spoke long ago in many parts and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,
神在古时候, 曾经多次用种种方法, 借着先知向我们的祖先说话;

1:2 in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the world,
在这末后的日子, 却借着他的儿子向我们说话. 神已经立他作万有的承受者, 并且借着他创造了宇宙(“宇宙”或译: “诸世界”或“众世代”).

1:3 who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, sustaining all things by the word of power. When he had made purification for sins through him, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
他是神荣耀的光辉, 是神本质的真象, 用自己带有能力的话掌管万有; 他作成了洁净罪恶的事, 就坐在高天至尊者的右边.

1:4 having become by so much better than the angels, by as much as he has inherited a more excellent name than theirs.
他所承受的名比天使的名更尊贵, 所以他远比天使崇高.

1:5 For to which of the angels did he ever say, “You are my son, today I have begotten you,” and again, “I will be his father, and he will be my son”?
神曾对哪一个天使说过: “你是我的儿子, 我今日生了你”呢? 或者说: “我要作他的父亲, 他要作我的儿子”呢?

1:6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “And let all the angels of God worship him.”
神差遣长子到世上来的时候, 又说: “神所有的天使都要拜他. ”

1:7 And concerning the angels he says, “The one who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire,”
论到天使, 说: “神用风作他的使者, 用火焰作他的仆役. ”

1:8 but concerning the Son, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of righteous is the scepter of your kingdom.
但是论到儿子, 却说: “神啊! 你的宝座是永永远远的, 你国的权杖, 是公平的权杖.

1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this God, your God, has anointed you with the olive oil of joy more than your companions.
你喜爱公义, 恨恶不法, 所以, 神, 就是你的神, 用喜乐的油膏抹你, 胜过膏抹你的同伴. ”

1:10 And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of your hands;
又说: “主啊! 你起初立了地的根基, 天也是你手的工作.

1:11 they will perish, but you continue, and they will all become old like a garment,
天地都要毁灭, 你却长存; 天地都要像衣服一样渐渐残旧,

1:12 and like a robe you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed; but you are the same, and your years will not run out.”
你要把天地像外套一样卷起来, 天地就像衣服一样被更换; 只有你永不改变, 你的年数也没有穷尽. ”

1:13 But to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit down at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
神可曾向哪一个天使说: “你坐在我的右边, 等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳”呢?

1:14 Are they not all spirits engaged in special service, sent on assignment for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
天使不都是服役的灵, 奉差遣为那些要承受救恩的人效劳吗?

Hebrews - Chapter 2

2:1 Because of this, it is all the more necessary that we pay attention to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
因此, 我们必须更加密切注意所听过的道理, 免得我们随流失去.

2:2 For if the word spoken through angels was binding and every transgression and act of disobedience received a just penalty,
那透过天使所传讲的信息既然是确定的, 所有干犯和不听从的, 都受了应得的报应.

2:3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation which had its beginning when it was spoken through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard,
如果我们忽略了这么大的救恩, 怎么能逃罪呢? 这救恩起初是由主亲自宣讲的, 后来听见的人给我们证实了.

2:4 while God was testifying at the same time by signs and wonders and various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
神又照着自己的旨意, 用神迹,奇事和各样异能, 以及圣灵的恩赐, 与他们一同作见证.

2:5 For he did not subject to angels the world to come, about which we are speaking.
神并没有把我们所说的“将来的世界”, 交给天使管辖;

2:6 But someone testified somewhere, saying, “What is man, that you remember him, or the son of man, that you care for him?
但是有人在圣经上某一处证实说: “人算什么, 你竟记念他? 世人算什么, 你竟眷顾他?

2:7 You made him for a short time lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor;
你使他比天使稍低微一点, 却赐给他荣耀尊贵作冠冕, (有些古卷在此有“并立他统管你手所造的一切”一句)

2:8 you subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things, he left nothing that was not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him,
使万物都服在他的脚下. ”既然万有都服了他, 就没有剩下一样不服他的了. 但是现在我们还没有看见万有都服他.

2:9 but we see Jesus, for a short time made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God he might taste death on behalf of everyone.
不过, 我们看见那位暂时成了比天使卑微的耶稣, 因为受了死的痛苦, 就得了荣耀尊贵作冠冕, 好叫他因着神的恩典, 为万人尝了死味.

2:10 For it was fitting for him for whom are all things and through whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the originator of their salvation through sufferings.
万有因他而有,借他而造的那位, 为了要带领许多儿子进入荣耀里去, 使救他们的元首借着受苦而得到成全, 本是合适的.

2:11 For both the one who sanctifies and the ones who are sanctified are all from one, for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
因为那位使人成圣的, 和那些得到成圣的, 同是出于一个源头; 所以他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻.

2:12 saying, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing in praise of you.”
他说: “我要向我的弟兄宣扬你的名, 我要在聚会中歌颂你. ”

2:13 And again, “I will trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
又说: “我要信靠他. ”又说: “看哪, 我和神所赐给我的孩子们. ”

2:14 Therefore, since the children share in blood and flesh, he also in like manner shared in these same things, in order that through death he could destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
孩子们既然同有血肉之体, 他自己也照样成为血肉之体, 为要借着死, 消灭那掌握死权的魔鬼,

2:15 and could set free these who through fear of death were subject to slavery throughout all their lives.
并且要释放那些因为怕死而终身作奴仆的人.

2:16 For surely he is not concerned with angels, but he is concerned with the descendants of Abraham.
其实, 他并没有救援天使, 只救援亚伯拉罕的后裔.

2:17 Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in all respects, in order that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things relating to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.
所以, 他必须在各方面和他的弟兄们相同, 为了要在神的事上, 成为仁慈忠信的大祭司, 好为人民赎罪.

2:18 For in that which he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
因为他自己既然经过试探, 受了苦, 就能够帮助那些被试探的人.

Hebrews - Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
因此, 同蒙天召的圣洁的弟兄啊! 你们应该想想耶稣, 就是作使徒,作我们所宣认的大祭司的那一位.

3:2 who was faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses also was in his household.
他忠于那位委派他的, 好像摩西在神的全家尽忠一样.

3:3 For this one is considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who builds it has greater honor than the house.
他比摩西配得更大的荣耀, 好像建造房屋的人比房屋配得更大的尊贵一样.

3:4 For every house is built by someone, but the one who built all things is God.
因为每一间房屋都是人建造的, 只有万物是神建造的.

3:5 And Moses was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony to the things that would be spoken,
摩西不过是个仆人, 在神的全家尽忠, 为以后要传讲的事作证;

3:6 but Christ was faithful as a son over his house, whose house we are, if we hold fast to our confidence and the hope we can be proud of.
但是基督却是儿子, 管理自己的家. 如果我们把坦然无惧的心和可夸的盼望持守到底, 我们就是他的家了.

3:7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice,
所以, 就像圣灵所说的: “如果你们今天听从他的声音,

3:8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
就不要硬着心, 好像在旷野惹他发怒,试探他的日子一样;

3:9 where your fathers tested me by trial and saw my works
在那里, 你们的祖先以试验来试探我, 观看我的作为有四十年之久.

3:10 for forty years. Therefore I was angry with this generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they do not know my ways.’
所以, 我向那个世代的人发怒, 说: ‘他们心里常常迷误, 不认识我的道路. ’

3:11 As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter into my rest.’ ”
我就在烈怒中起誓, 说: ‘他们绝不可进入我的安息. ’”

3:12 Watch out, brothers, lest there be in some of you an evil, unbelieving heart, with the result that you fall away from the living God.
弟兄们, 你们要小心, 免得你们中间有人存着邪恶,不信的心, 以致离弃了永活的神;

3:13 But encourage one another day by day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you become hardened by the deception of sin.
趁着还有叫作“今天”的时候, 总要天天互相劝勉, 免得你们中间有人受了罪恶的诱惑, 心里就刚硬了.

3:14 For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of our commitment steadfast until the end,
如果我们把起初的信念坚持到底, 就是有分于基督的人了.

3:15 while it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
经上说: “如果你们今天听从他的声音, 就不要硬着心, 像惹他发怒的时候一样. ”

3:16 For who, when they heard it, were disobedient? Surely it was not all who went out from Egypt through Moses?
那时, 听了他的话而惹他发怒的是谁呢? 不就是摩西从埃及领出来的那些人吗?

3:17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
四十年之久, 神向谁发怒呢? 不就是向那些犯了罪陈尸旷野的人吗?

3:18 And to whom did he swear they would not enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
他又向谁起誓说, 他们绝对不可以进入他的安息呢? 不就是向那些不顺从的人吗?

3:19 And so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
这样看来, 他们不能进入安息, 是因为不信的缘故.

Hebrews - Chapter 4

4:1 Therefore let us fear, while there remains a promise of entering into his rest, that none of you appear to fall short of it.
所以, 那进入安息的应许, 既然还给我们留着, 我们就应该战战兢兢, 恐怕我们中间有人像是被淘汰了.

4:2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as those also did, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united with those who heard it in faith.
因为有福音传给我们, 像传给他们一样, 只是他们所听见的道, 对他们没有益处, 因为他们没有用信心与所听见的打成一片(“没有用信心与所听见的打成一片”, 有古卷作“没有用信心与听从这道的人打成一片”).

4:3 For we who have believed enter into rest, just as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter into my rest.’ ” And yet these works have been accomplished from the foundation of the world.
然而我们信了的人, 就可以进入那安息. 正如神所说: “我在烈怒中起誓说, 他们绝不可进入我的安息! ”其实神的工作, 从创立世界以来已经完成了.

4:4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”
因为论到第七日, 他在圣经某一处说: “在第七日神歇了他的一切工作. ”

4:5 and in this passage again, ‘They will never enter into my rest.’ ”
但在这里又说: “他们绝不可进入我的安息. ”

4:6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and the ones to whom the good news was proclaimed previously did not enter because of disobedience,
既然这安息还留着要让一些人进去, 但那些以前听过福音的人, 因为不顺从不得进去;

4:7 again he ordains a certain day, today, speaking by David after so long a time, just as had been said before, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
所以神就再定一个日子, 就是过了很久以后, 借着大卫所说的“今天”, 就像前面引用过的: “如果你们今天听从他的声音, 就不要硬着心. ”

4:8 For if Joshua had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things.
如果约书亚已经使他们享受了安息, 神后来就不会再提到别的日子了.

4:9 Consequently a sabbath rest remains for the people of God.
这样看来, 为了神的子民, 必定另外有一个“安息日”的安息保留下来.

4:10 For the one who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
因为那进入神安息的人, 就歇了自己的工作, 好像神歇了自己的工作一样.

4:11 Therefore, let us make every effort to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same pattern of disobedience.
所以, 我们要竭力进入那安息, 免得有人随着那不顺从的样子就跌倒了.

4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, both joints and marrow, and able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart.
神的道是活的, 是有效的, 比一切两刃的剑更锋利, 甚至可以刺入剖开灵与魂, 关节与骨髓, 并且能够辨明心中的思想和意念.

4:13 And no creature is hidden in the sight of him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of him to whom we must give our account.
被造的在神面前没有一样不是显明的, 万有在他的眼前都是赤露敞开的; 我们必须向他交帐.

4:14 Therefore, because we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
我们既然有一位伟大的,经过了众天的大祭司, 就是神的儿子耶稣, 就应该坚持所宣认的信仰.

4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who has been tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.
因为我们的大祭司并不是不能同情我们的软弱, 他像我们一样, 也曾在各方面受过试探, 只是他没有犯罪.

4:16 Therefore let us approach with confidence to the throne of grace, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
所以, 我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前, 为的是要领受怜悯, 得到恩惠, 作为及时的帮助.

Hebrews - Chapter 5

5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in the things relating to God, in order that he can offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins,
每一个大祭司都是从人间选出来, 奉派替人办理与神有关的事, 为的是要献上礼物和赎罪的祭物.

5:2 being able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself also is surrounded by weakness,
他能够温和地对待那些无知和迷误的人, 因为他自己也被软弱所困.

5:3 and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself also, as well as for the people.
因此, 他怎样为人民的罪献祭, 也应该怎样为自己的罪献祭.

5:4 And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also was.
没有人可以自己取得这大祭司的尊荣, 只有像亚伦一样, 蒙神选召的才可以.

5:5 Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you,”
照样, 基督也没有自己争取作大祭司的尊荣, 而是曾经对他说: “你是我的儿子, 我今日生了你”的神荣耀了他;

5:6 just as also in another place he says, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek,”
就像他在另一处说: “你是照着麦基洗德的体系, 永远作祭司的. ”

5:7 who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard as a result of his reverence.
基督在世的时候, 曾经流泪大声祷告恳求那位能救他脱离死亡的神; 因着他的敬虔, 就蒙了应允.

5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered,
他虽然是儿子, 还是因着所受的苦难学会了顺从.

5:9 and being perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him,
他既然顺从到底, 就成了所有顺从他的人得到永远救恩的根源;

5:10 being designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
而且蒙神照着麦基洗德的体系, 称他为大祭司.

5:11 Concerning this we have much to say and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing.
论到这些事, 我们有很多话要说, 可是很难解释; 因为你们已经迟钝了, 听不进去.

5:12 For indeed, although you ought to be teachers by this time, you have need of someone to teach you again the beginning elements of the oracles of God, and you have need of milk, not solid food.
到这个时候, 你们应该已经作老师了; 可是你们还需要有人再把神道理的初步教导你们. 你们成了只能吃奶而不能吃干粮的人!

5:13 For everyone who partakes of milk is unacquainted with the message of righteousness, because he is an infant.
凡是吃奶的, 还是个婴孩, 对公义的道理没有经历;

5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have trained their faculties for the distinguishing of both good and evil.
只有长大成人的, 才能吃干粮, 他们的官能因为操练纯熟, 就能分辨是非了.

Hebrews - Chapter 6

6:1 Therefore, leaving behind the elementary message about Christ, let us move on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
所以, 我们应当离开基督初步的道理, 努力进到成熟的地步, 不必在懊悔死行, 信靠神, 洗礼, 按手礼, 死人复活, 和永远审判的教训上再立根基.

6:2 teaching about baptisms and laying on of hands, and resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.
所以, 我们应当离开基督初步的道理, 努力进到成熟的地步, 不必在懊悔死行, 信靠神, 洗礼, 按手礼, 死人复活, 和永远审判的教训上再立根基.

6:3 And this we will do, if God permits.
只要神允许, 我们就这样作.

6:4 For it is impossible concerning those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and become sharers of the Holy Spirit,
因为那些曾经蒙了光照, 尝过属天的恩赐的滋味, 与圣灵有分,

6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age,
并且尝过神美善的道和来世的权能的人,

6:6 and having fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, because they have crucified again for themselves the Son of God and held him up to contempt.
如果偏离了正道, 就不可能再使他们重新悔改了. 因为他们亲自把神的儿子再钉在十字架上, 公然羞辱他.

6:7 For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation usable to those people for whose sake it is also cultivated, shares a blessing from God.
这就像一块地, 吸收了常常下在它上面的雨水, 如果长出对种植的人有用的菜蔬, 就从神那里得福.

6:8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to a curse, whose end is for burning.
但如果这块地长出荆棘和蒺藜来, 就被废弃, 近于咒诅, 结局就是焚烧.

6:9 But even if we are speaking in this way, dear friends, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and belonging to salvation.
不过, 亲爱的弟兄们, 我们虽然这样说, 但对于你们, 我们却深信你们有更好的表现, 结局就是得救.

6:10 For God is not unjust, so as to forget your work and the love which you demonstrated for his name by having served the saints, and continuing to serve them.
因为神并不是不公义, 以致忘记了你们的工作, 和你们为他的名所表现的爱心, 就是你们以前服事圣徒, 现在还是服事他们.

6:11 And we desire each one of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the full assurance of your hope until the end,
我们深愿你们各人都表现同样的热诚, 一直到底, 使你们的盼望可以完全实现,

6:12 in order that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
并且不要懒惰, 却要效法那些凭着信心和忍耐承受应许的人.

6:13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,
神应许亚伯拉罕的时候, 因为没有比自己更大的可以指着起誓, 他就指着自己起誓,

6:14 saying, “Surely I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.”
说: “我必定赐福给你, 必定使你的后裔繁多. ”

6:15 And so, by persevering, he obtained the promise.
这样, 亚伯拉罕耐心等待, 终于获得了所应许的.

6:16 For people swear by what is greater than themselves, and the oath for confirmation is the end of all dispute for them.
因为人起誓都是指着比自己大的起誓. 这誓言就了结了他们中间的一切纠纷, 作为保证.

6:17 In the same way God, because he wanted to show even more to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his resolve, guaranteed it with an oath,
照样, 神定意向那些承受应许的人, 更清楚地表明他的旨意是不更改的, 就用起誓作保证.

6:18 in order that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge may have powerful encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us,
这两件事是不能更改的, 因为神是决不说谎的. 因此, 我们这些逃进避难所的人, 就大得安慰, 抓紧那摆在我们面前的盼望.

6:19 which we have like an anchor of the soul, both firm and steadfast, and entering into the inside of the curtain,
我们有这盼望, 就像灵魂的锚, 又稳当又坚固, 通过幔子直进到里面.

6:20 where Jesus, the forerunner for us, entered, because he became a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
耶稣已经为我们作先锋进入了幔子里面; 他是照着麦基洗德的体系, 成了永远的大祭司.

Hebrews - Chapter 7

7:1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
这麦基洗德就是撒冷王, 又是至高神的祭司. 亚伯拉罕杀败众王回来的时候, 麦基洗德迎接他, 并且给他祝福.

7:2 to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of everything—in the first place, his name is translated “king of righteousness,” and then also “king of Salem,” that is, “king of peace”;
亚伯拉罕也把自己得来的一切, 拿出十分之一来给他. 麦基洗德这名字翻译出来, 头一个意思就是“公义的王”; 其次是“撒冷王”, 就是“平安的王”的意思.

7:3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God—he remains a priest for all time.
他没有父亲, 没有母亲, 没有族谱, 也没有生死的记录, 而是与神的儿子相似, 永远作祭司.

7:4 But see how great this man was, to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth from the spoils!
你们想一想这人是多么伟大啊! 祖先亚伯拉罕也要从上等的掳物中, 拿出十分之一来给了他.

7:5 And indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a commandment to collect a tenth from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, although they are descended from Abraham.
那些领受祭司职分的利未子孙, 奉命按照律法向人民, 就是自己的弟兄, 收取十分之一; 虽然他们都是出于亚伯拉罕的.

7:6 But the one who did not trace his descent from them collected tithes from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.
可是那不与他们同谱系的麦基洗德, 反而收纳了亚伯拉罕的十分之一, 并且给这蒙受应许的人祝福.

7:7 Now without any dispute the inferior is blessed by the more prominent.
向来都是位分大的给位分小的祝福, 这是毫无疑问的.

7:8 And in this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives.
在这里, 收取十分之一的, 都是必死的; 但在那里, 收纳十分之一的, 却被证实是一位活着的.

7:9 And, so to speak, even Levi, the one who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham.
并且可以这样说, 连那收取十分之一的利未, 也透过亚伯拉罕缴纳了十分之一.

7:10 For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候, 利未还在他祖先的身体里面.

7:11 Thus if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for on the basis of it the people received the law, what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek and not said to be according to the order of Aaron?
这样看来, 如果借着利未人的祭司制度能达到完全的地步(人民是在这制度下领受律法的), 为什么还需要照着麦基洗德的体系, 另外兴起一位祭司, 而不照着亚伦的体系呢?

7:12 For when the priesthood changes, of necessity there is a change of the law also.
祭司的制度既然更改了, 律法也必须更改.

7:13 For the one about whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe from which no one has officiated at the altar.
因为这些话所指的那位, 原是属于另外一个支派的, 这支派向来没有人在祭坛前供职.

7:14 For it is evident that our Lord is a descendant of Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses said nothing concerning priests.
我们的主明明是从犹大支派出来的, 关于这个支派, 摩西并没有提及祭司的事.

7:15 And it is still more clear, if another priest according to the likeness of Melchizedek arises,
如果有另一位像麦基洗德那样的祭司兴起来, 那么, 这里所说的就更明显了.

7:16 who has become a priest not according to a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
他成了祭司, 不是按着律法上肉身的条例, 却是按着不能毁坏的生命的大能.

7:17 For it is testified, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”
因为有为他作证的说: “你永远作祭司, 是照着麦基洗德的体系. ”

7:18 For on the one hand a preceding commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness
一方面, 从前的条例因为软弱, 没有用处, 就废弃了;

7:19 (for the law made nothing perfect), but on the other hand there is the introduction of a better hope through which we draw near to God.
(因为律法从来没有使什么得到完全, )另一方面, 它却带来了更美的盼望, 借着这盼望, 我们就可以亲近神.

7:20 And by as much as this was not without an oath (for these on the one hand have become priests without an oath,
此外, 还有关于誓言的事. 其他成为祭司的, 并不是用誓言立的;

7:21 but he with an oath by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever’ ”),
只有耶稣是用誓言立的, 因为那立他的对他说: “主已经起了誓, 决不改变, 你永远作祭司. ”

7:22 by so much more Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
耶稣既然是用誓言立的, 就成了更美好的约的保证.

7:23 And indeed many have become priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,
一方面, 从前那些作祭司的, 因为受死亡的限制, 不能长久留任, 所以人数众多.

7:24 but he, because he continues forever, holds the priesthood permanently.
另一方面, 因为耶稣是永远长存的, 就拥有他永不更改的祭司职位.

7:25 Therefore also he is able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, because he always lives in order to intercede on their behalf.
因此, 那些靠着他进到神面前的人, 他都能拯救到底; 因为他长远活着, 为他们代求.

7:26 For a high priest such as this indeed is fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become exalted above the heavens,
这样的一位大祭司, 对我们本是合适的. 他是圣洁,没有邪恶,没有玷污,从罪人中分别出来,高过众天的.

7:27 who does not need every day like the former high priests to offer up sacrifices for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
他不必像那些大祭司, 天天先为自己的罪献祭, 然后为人民的罪献祭; 因为他献上了自己, 就把这事一次而永远的成全了.

7:28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the statement of the oath, after the law, appoints a Son, who is made perfect forever.
律法所立的大祭司, 都是软弱的人; 可是在律法以后, 用誓言所立的儿子, 却是成为完全直到永远的.

Hebrews - Chapter 8

8:1 Now this is the main point in what has been said: we have a high priest such as this, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
我们所讲论的重点, 就是我们有这样的一位大祭司, 他已经坐在众天之上至尊者的宝座右边,

8:2 a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord set up, not man.
在至圣所和真会幕里供职; 这真会幕是主支搭的, 不是人支搭的.

8:3 For every high priest is appointed in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices; therefore it was necessary for this one also to have something that he offers.
所有大祭司都是为了献礼物和祭品而设立的, 所以这位大祭司, 也必须有所献上的.

8:4 Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because there are those who offer the gifts according to the law,
如果他在地上, 就不会作祭司, 因为已经有按照律法献礼物的祭司了.

8:5 who serve a sketch and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle, for he says, “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.”
这些祭司所供奉的职事, 不过是天上的事物的副本和影像, 就如摩西将要造会幕的时候, 神曾经警告他说: “你要留心, 各样物件, 都要照着在山上指示你的样式去作. ”

8:6 But now he has attained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted upon better promises.
但是现在耶稣得了更尊贵的职分, 正好像他是更美的约的中保, 这约是凭着更美的应许立的.

8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, occasion would not have been sought for a second.
如果头一个约没有缺点, 就没有寻求另一个约的必要了.

8:8 For in finding fault with them he says, “Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
可是神指责他们, 说: “看哪, 主说, 日子要到了, 我要与以色列家和犹大家订立新约.

8:9 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took hold of them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
这新约不像从前我拉他们祖先的手, 领他们出埃及的日子与他们所立的约. 因为他们没有遵守我的约, 我就不理会他们. 这是主说的.

8:10 For this is the covenant that I will decree with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I am putting my laws in their minds and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be their God and they will be my people.
主说: ‘因为在那些日子以后, 我要与以色列家所立的约是这样: 我要把我的律法放在他们的心思里面, 写在他们的心上. 我要作他们的神, 他们要作我的子民.

8:11 And they will not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
他们各人必不用教导自己的邻居, 和自己的同胞, 说: 你要认识主. 因为所有的人, 从最小到最大的, 都必认识我.

8:12 For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings, and I will not remember their sins any longer.”
我也要宽恕他们的不义, 决不再记着他们的罪恶. ’”

8:13 In calling it new, he has declared the former to be old. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is near to disappearing.
神既然说到新的约, 就是把前约当作旧的了; 那变成陈旧衰老的, 就快要消逝了.

Hebrews - Chapter 9

9:1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and the earthly sanctuary.
前约也有它敬拜的规例, 和属世界的圣所.

9:2 For a tent was prepared, the first one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the presentation of the loaves, which is called the holy place.
因为有一个支搭好了的会幕, 第一进叫作圣所, 里面有灯台,桌子和陈设饼.

9:3 And after the second curtain was a tent called the holy of holies,
在第二层幔子后面还有一个会幕, 叫作至圣所,

9:4 containing the golden incense altar and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which were a golden jar containing the manna and the rod of Aaron that budded and the tablets of the covenant.
里面有金香坛, 有全部包金的约柜, 柜里有盛着吗哪的金罐,亚伦那发过芽的杖和两块约板.

9:5 And above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, about which it is not now possible to speak in detail.
柜的上面有荣耀的基路伯罩着施恩座, 关于这一切, 现在不能一一细说了.

9:6 Now these things having been prepared in this way, the priests enter into the first tent continually as they accomplish their service,
这一切物件都这样预备好了, 祭司就常常进入第一进会幕, 执行敬拜的事.

9:7 but only the high priest enters into the second tent once a year, not without blood, which he offers on behalf of himself and the sins of the people committed in ignorance.
至于第二进会幕, 只有大祭司一年一次独自进去, 并且非带着血不可, 好为自己和人民的愚妄把血献上.

9:8 The Holy Spirit was making this clear, that the way into the holy place was not yet revealed, while the first tent was still in existence,
圣灵借着这事表明, 当第一进会幕存在的时候, 进入至圣所的路, 还没有显明出来.

9:9 which was a symbol for the present time, in which both the gifts and sacrifices which were offered were not able to perfect the worshiper with respect to the conscience,
这第一进会幕是现今的时代的预表, 其实所献的礼物和祭品, 都不能使敬拜的人在良心上得到完全.

9:10 concerning instead only food and drink and different washings, regulations of outward things imposed until the time of setting things right.
这些只是关于饮食和各样洁净的礼仪, 是在“更新的时候”来到之前, 为肉体立的规例.

9:11 But Christ has arrived as a high priest of the good things to come. Through the greater and more perfect tent not made by hands, that is, not of this creation,
但基督已经来了, 作了已经实现的美好事物的大祭司; 他经过更大,更完备的会幕(不是人手所做的, 也就是不属于这被造的世界的).

9:12 and not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the most holy place, obtaining eternal redemption.
他不是用山羊和牛犊的血, 而是用自己的血, 只一次进了至圣所, 就得到了永远的救赎.

9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled sanctify them for the ritual purity of the flesh,
如果山羊和公牛的血, 以及母牛犊的灰, 洒在不洁的人身上, 尚且可以使他们成为圣洁, 身体洁净,

9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?
何况基督的血呢? 他借着永远的灵, 把自己无瑕无疵的献给神, 他的血不是更能洁净我们的良心脱离死行, 使我们可以事奉永活的神吗?

9:15 And because of this, he is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions committed during the first covenant, those who are the called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
因此, 他作了新约的中保, 借着他的死, 使人在前约之下的过犯得到救赎, 就叫那些蒙召的人, 得着永远基业的应许.

9:16 For where there is a will, it is a necessity for the death of the one who made the will to be established.
凡有遗嘱(“遗嘱”或译: “约”, 与17节同), 必须证实立遗嘱的人死了;

9:17 For a will is in force concerning those who are dead, since it is never in force when the one who made the will is alive.
因为人死了, 遗嘱才能确立, 立遗嘱的人还活着的时候, 遗嘱决不生效.

9:18 Therefore not even the first covenant was ratified without blood.
因此, 前约并不是没有用血立的:

9:19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,
当日摩西按照律法, 向所有人民宣布了各样的诫命, 就拿牛犊(好些抄本在此有“和山羊”)的血和水, 用朱红色的羊毛与牛膝草, 洒在律法书上和人民身上,

9:20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”
说: “这就是神规定你们立约的血. ”

9:21 And likewise he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the utensils of service with the blood.
他照样把血洒在会幕和各样应用的器皿上.

9:22 Indeed, nearly everything is purified with blood according to the law, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
按着律法, 几乎所有都是用血洁净的, 如果没有流血, 就没有赦免.

9:23 Therefore it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.
照着天上样式作的既然必须这样去洁净, 天上物体的本身, 就应该用更美的祭品去洁净了.

9:24 For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,
因为基督不是进了人手所做的圣所(那不过是真圣所的表象), 而是进到天上, 现在替我们显露在神的面前.

9:25 and not in order that he can offer himself many times, as the high priest enters into the sanctuary year by year with blood not his own,
他不必多次把自己献上, 好像大祭司每年带着不是自己的血进入至圣所一样.

9:26 since it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times from the foundation of the world, but now he has appeared once at the end of the ages for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.
如果这样, 他从创世以来, 就必须受许多次的苦了. 可是现在他在这世代的终结, 只显现一次, 把自己作为祭品献上, 好除掉罪.

9:27 And just as it is destined for people to die once, and after this, judgment,
按着定命, 人人都要死一次, 死后还有审判.

9:28 thus also Christ, having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear for the second time without reference to sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation.
照样, 基督为了担当许多人的罪, 也曾经一次把自己献上; 将来他还要再一次显现, 不是为担当罪, 而是要向那些热切期待他的人成全救恩.

Hebrews - Chapter 10

10:1 For the law, possessing a shadow of the good things that are about to come, not the form of things itself, is never able year by year by means of the same sacrifices which they offer without interruption to make perfect those who draw near.
律法既然是以后要来的美好事物的影子, 不是本体的真象, 就不能凭着每年献同样的祭品, 使那些进前来的人得到完全.

10:2 For otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the ones who worship, having been purified once and for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?
如果敬拜的人一次得洁净, 良心就不再觉得有罪, 那么, 献祭的事不是早就停止了吗?

10:3 But in them there is a reminder of sins year by year.
可是那些祭品, 却使人每年都想起罪来,

10:4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
因为公牛和山羊的血不能把罪除去.

10:5 Therefore, when he came into the world, he said, “Sacrifice and offering you did not want, but a body you prepared for me;
所以, 基督到世上来的时候, 就说: “祭品和礼物不是你所要的, 你却为我预备了身体.

10:6 you did not delight in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins.
燔祭和赎罪祭, 不是你所喜悦的;

10:7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— in the roll of the book it is written about me— to do your will, O God.’
那时我说: ‘看哪! 我来了, 经卷上已经记载我的事, 神啊! 我来是要遵行你的旨意. ’”

10:8 When he says above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin you did not want, nor did you delight in,” which are offered according to the law,
前面说: “祭品和礼物, 燔祭和赎罪祭, 不是你所要的, 也不是你所喜悦的. ”这些都是按照律法献的;

10:9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second,
接着又说: “看哪! 我来了, 是要遵行你的旨意. ”可见他废除那先前的, 为要建立那后来的.

10:10 by which will we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
我们凭着这旨意, 借着耶稣基督一次献上他的身体, 就已经成圣.

10:11 And every priest stands every day serving and offering the same sacrifices many times, which are never able to take away sins.
所有的祭司都是天天站着事奉, 多次献上同样的祭品, 那些祭品永远不能把罪除去.

10:12 But this one, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God,
唯有基督献上了一次永远有效的赎罪祭, 就在神的右边坐下来.

10:13 from now on waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.
此后, 只是等待神把他的仇敌放在他的脚下, 作他的脚凳.

10:14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
因为他献上了一次的祭, 就使那些成圣的人永远得到完全.

10:15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
圣灵也向我们作见证, 因为后来他说过:

10:16 “This is the covenant that I will decree for them after those days, says the Lord: I am putting my laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
“主说: ‘在那些日子以后, 我要与他们所立的约是这样: 我要把我的律法放在他们的心思里面, 写在他们的心上. ’”

10:17 He also says, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will never remember again.”
又说: “我决不再记着他们的罪恶, 和不法的行为. ”

10:18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
这一切既然都赦免了, 就不必再为罪献祭了.

10:19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence for the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
所以, 弟兄们! 我们凭着耶稣的血, 可以坦然无惧地进入至圣所.

10:20 by the new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,
这进入的路, 是他给我们开辟的, 是一条通过幔子,又新又活的路, 这幔子就是他的身体.

10:21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
我们既然有一位伟大的祭司治理神的家,

10:22 let us approach with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
我们良心的邪恶既然被洒净, 身体也用清水洗净了, 那么, 我们就应该怀着真诚的心和完备的信, 进到神面前;

10:23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for the one who promised is faithful.
又应该坚持我们所宣认的盼望, 毫不动摇, 因为那应许我们的是信实的.

10:24 And let us think about how to stir one another up to love and good works,
我们又应该彼此关心, 激发爱心, 勉励行善.

10:25 not abandoning our meeting together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging each other, and by so much more as you see the day drawing near.
我们不可放弃聚会, 好像有些人的习惯一样; 却要互相劝勉. 你们既然知道那日子临近, 就更应该这样.

10:26 For if we keep on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
如果我们领受了真理的知识以后, 还是故意犯罪, 就再没有留下赎罪的祭品了;

10:27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that is about to consume the adversaries.
只好恐惧地等待着审判, 和那快要吞灭众仇敌的烈火.

10:28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
如果有人干犯了摩西的律法, 凭着两三个证人, 他尚且得不到怜悯而死;

10:29 How much worse punishment do you think the person will be considered worthy of who treats with disdain the Son of God and who considers ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy and who insults the Spirit of grace?
何况是践踏神的儿子, 把那使他成圣的立约的血当作俗物, 又侮辱施恩的圣灵的人, 你们想想, 他不是应该受更严厉的刑罚吗?

10:30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
因为我们知道谁说过: “伸冤在我, 我必报应. ”又说: “主必定审判他自己的子民. ”

10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
落在永活的神手里, 真是可怕的.

10:32 But remember the former days in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,
你们要回想从前的日子, 那时, 你们蒙了光照, 忍受了许多痛苦的煎熬;

10:33 sometimes being publicly exposed both to insults and to afflictions, and sometimes becoming sharers with those who were treated in this way.
有时在众人面前被辱骂, 遭患难; 有时却成了遭遇同样情形的人的同伴.

10:34 For you both sympathized with the prisoners and put up with the seizure of your belongings with joy because you knew that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.
你们同情那些遭监禁的人; 你们的家业被抢夺的时候, 又以喜乐的心接受, 因为知道自己有更美长存的家业.

10:35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward.
所以, 你们不可丢弃坦然无惧的心, 这样的心是带有大赏赐的.

10:36 For you have need of endurance, in order that after you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
你们还需要忍耐, 好使你们行完了神的旨意, 可以领受所应许的.

10:37 For yet “a very, very little while, and the one who is coming will come and will not delay.
因为: “还有一点点的时候, 那要来的就来, 并不迟延.

10:38 But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul is not well pleased with him.”
我的义人必因信得生, 如果他后退, 我的心就不喜悦他. ”

10:39 But we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but among those who have faith to the preservation of our souls.
但我们不是那些后退以致灭亡的人, 而是有信心以致保全生命的人.

没有信, 就不能得到神的喜悦; 因为来到神面前的人, 必须信神存在, 并且信他会赏赐那些寻求他的人.

所以从一个好像已死的人, 竟然生出许多子孙来, 仿佛天上的星那么众多, 海边的沙那么无数.

11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the promises, but seeing them from a distance and welcoming them, and admitting that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth.
这些人都是存着信心死了的, 还没有得着所应许的, 只不过是从远处看见, 就表示欢迎, 又承认他们在世上是异乡人, 是客旅.

11:14 For those who say such things make clear that they are seeking a homeland.
因为说这样话的人, 是表明他们在寻求一个家乡.

11:15 And if they remember that land from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
如果他们怀念已经离开了的地方, 还有可以回去的机会.

被石头打死, 被锯锯死, (后期抄本在此加上“受试探”)被刀杀死. 他们披着绵羊山羊的皮到处奔跑,受穷乏,遭患难,被虐待;

Hebrews - Chapter 12

12:1 Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, putting aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, let us run with patient endurance the race that has been set before us,
所以, 我们既然有这么多的见证人, 像云彩围绕着我们, 就应该脱下各样的拖累, 和容易缠住我们的罪, 以坚忍的心奔跑那摆在我们面前的赛程;

12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the originator and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
专一注视耶稣, 就是我们信心的创始者和完成者. 他因为那摆在面前的喜乐, 就忍受了十字架, 轻看了羞辱, 现在就坐在神宝座的右边.

12:3 For consider the one who endured such hostility by sinners against himself, so that you will not grow weary in your souls and give up.
这位忍受罪人那样顶撞的耶稣, 你们要仔细思想, 免得疲倦灰心.

12:4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood as you struggle against sin.
你们与罪恶斗争, 还没有对抗到流血的地步;

12:5 And have you completely forgotten the exhortation which instructs you as sons? “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, or give up when you are corrected by him.
你们又忘记了那劝你们好像劝儿子的话, 说: “我儿! 你不可轻看主的管教, 受责备的时候也不要灰心;

12:6 For the Lord disciplines the one whom he loves, and punishes every son whom he accepts.”
因为主所爱的, 他必管教, 他又鞭打所收纳的每一个儿子. ”

12:7 Endure it for discipline. God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
为了接受管教, 你们要忍受, 因为神待你们好像待儿子一样; 哪有儿子不受父亲管教的呢?

12:8 But if you are without discipline, in which all legitimate sons have become participants, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
作儿子的都受过管教. 如果你们没有受管教, 就是私生子, 不是儿子了.

12:9 Furthermore, we have had our earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Will we not much rather subject ourselves to the Father of spirits and live?
还有, 肉身的父亲管教我们, 我们尚且敬重他们; 何况那万灵的父, 我们不是更要顺服他而得生吗?

12:10 For they disciplined us for a few days according to what seemed appropriate to them, but he does so for our benefit, in order that we can have a share in his holiness.
肉身的父亲照着自己的意思管教我们, 只有短暂的日子; 唯有神管教我们, 是为着我们的好处, 使我们在他的圣洁上有分.

12:11 Now all discipline seems for the moment not to be joyful but painful, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness for those who are trained by it.
但是一切管教, 在当时似乎不觉得快乐, 反觉得痛苦; 后来却为那些经过这种操练的人, 结出平安的果子来, 就是义.

12:12 Therefore strengthen your slackened hands and your weakened knees,
所以, 你们要把下垂的手和发软的腿挺直起来;

12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame will not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
也要把你们所走的道路修直, 使瘸子不至于扭脚, 反而得到复原.

12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
你们要竭力寻求与众人和睦, 并且要竭力追求圣洁. 如果没有圣洁, 谁也不能见主.

12:15 Take care that no one falls short of the grace of God; that no one growing up like a root of bitterness causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;
你们要小心, 免得有人失去了神的恩典; 免得有苦根长起来缠绕你们, 因而污染了许多人;

12:16 that no one be a sexually immoral or totally worldly person like Esau, who for one meal traded his own birthright.
又免得有人成为淫乱的和贪恋世俗的, 好像以扫一样, 为了一点点食物, 竟把自己长子的名分出卖了.

12:17 For you know that also afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he did not find an occasion for repentance, although he sought it with tears.
你们知道, 后来以扫想要承受祝福, 却被拒绝了; 他虽然带着眼泪寻求, 还是没有反悔的余地.

12:18 For you have not come to something that can be touched, and to a burning fire, and to darkness, and to gloom, and to a whirlwind,
你们不是来到那座摸得着的山. 那里有烈火,密云,幽暗,暴风,

12:19 and to the noise of a trumpet, and to the sound of words which those who heard begged that not another word be spoken to them.
号筒的响声和说话的声音; 那些听见这声音的人, 都请求神不要再向他们多说话;

12:20 For they could not endure what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
因为他们担当不起那命令: “就是走兽挨近这山, 也要用石头把它打死. ”

12:21 And the spectacle was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
当时, 显出的景象是那么可怕, 连摩西也说: “我非常恐惧战兢. ”

12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to tens of thousands of angels, to the festal gathering
你们却是来到锡安山和永活的神的城, 就是天上的耶路撒冷; 在那里有千万的天使聚集,

12:23 and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous people made perfect,
有名字登记在天上众长子的教会, 有审判众人的神, 有被成全的义人的灵魂,

12:24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than Abel’s does.
有新约的中保耶稣, 还有他所洒的血. 这血所传的信息比亚伯的血所传的更美.

12:25 Watch out that you do not refuse the one who is speaking! For if those did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, much less will we escape, if we reject the one who warns from heaven,
你们要谨慎, 不要弃绝那位说话的, 因为从前的人弃绝了那位在地上警戒他们的, 尚且不能逃罪; 何况现在我们背弃那位从天上警戒我们的呢?

12:26 whose voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.”
当时他的声音震动了地; 现在他却应许说: “下一次, 我不但要震动地, 还要震动天. ”

12:27 Now the phrase “yet once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, namely, things that have been created, in order that the things that are not shaken may remain.
“下一次”这句话, 是表明那些被震动的, 要像被造之物那样被除去, 好使那些不能震动的可以留存,

12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be thankful, through which let us serve God acceptably, with awe and reverence.
因此, 我们既然领受了不能震动的国, 就应该感恩, 照着神所喜悦的, 用虔诚敬畏的心事奉他;

12:29 For indeed our God is a consuming fire.
因为我们的神是烈火.

Hebrews - Chapter 13

13:1 Brotherly love must continue.
你们总要保持弟兄的爱.

13:2 Do not neglect hospitality, because through this some have received angels as guests without knowing it.
不要忘了用爱心接待人, 有人就是这样作, 在无意中就款待了天使.

13:3 Remember the prisoners, as though you were fellow-prisoners; remember the mistreated, as though you yourselves also are being mistreated in the body.
你们要记念那些被囚禁的人, 好像跟他们一起被囚禁; 也要记念那些受虐待的人, 好像你们也亲自受过.

13:4 Marriage must be held in honor by all, and the marriage bed be undefiled, because God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers.
人人都应该尊重婚姻, 婚床也不要玷污, 因为神一定审判淫乱的和奸淫的人.

13:5 Your lifestyle must be free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, “I will never desert you, and I will never abandon you.”
你们为人不要贪爱钱财, 要以现在所有的为满足; 因为神亲自说过: “我决不撇下你, 也不离弃你. ”

13:6 So then, we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?”
所以我们可以放胆说: “主是我的帮助, 我决不害怕, 人能把我怎么样呢? ”

13:7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you; considering the outcome of their way of life, imitate their faith.
你们要记念那些领导过你们, 把神的道传给你们的人; 你们要观察他们一生的成果, 要效法他们的信心.

13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
耶稣基督昨天,今天,一直到永远都是一样的.

13:9 Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods by which those who participate have not benefited.
你们不要被各样怪异的教训勾引去了. 人心靠着恩典, 而不是靠着食物得到坚定, 才是好的; 因为那些拘守食物的人, 从来没有得过益处.

13:10 We have an altar from which those who serve in the tabernacle do not have the right to eat.
我们有一座祭坛, 坛上的祭物, 是那些在会幕中供职的人没有权利吃的.

13:11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sins are burned up outside the camp.
那些祭牲的血, 由大祭司带进圣所作赎罪祭, 祭牲的身体却要在营外焚烧.

13:12 Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order that he might sanctify the people by his own blood.
所以耶稣也是这样在城门外受苦, 为的是要借着自己的血使人民成圣.

13:13 So we must go out to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.
那么, 让我们也出到营外到他那里去, 担当他的凌辱.

13:14 For here we do not have a permanent city, but we seek the city that is to come.
因为在这里我们没有长存的城, 我们却是寻求那将要来的城.

13:15 Therefore through him let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
所以, 我们要借着耶稣, 常常把颂赞的祭品献给神, 这就是承认他的名的人嘴唇的果子.

13:16 And do not neglect doing good and generosity, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
你们也不要忘记行善和捐输, 这样的祭是神所喜悦的.

13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with groaning, for this would be unprofitable for you.
你们要听从那些领导你们的人, 也要顺服他们; 因为他们为你们的灵魂警醒, 好像要交帐的人一样. 你们要使他们交帐的时候快快乐乐, 不至于叹息; 如果他们叹息, 对你们就没有好处了.

13:18 Pray for us, for we are convinced that we have a good conscience, and want to conduct ourselves commendably in every way.
请为我们祷告, 因为我们深信自己良心无亏, 愿意凡事遵行正道.

13:19 And I especially urge you to do this, so that I may be restored to you more quickly.
我更加要求你们为我们祷告, 好使我们能够快点回到你们那里去.

13:20 Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
愿赐平安的神, 就是那凭着永约的血, 把群羊的大牧人我们的主耶稣, 从死人中领出来的那一位,

13:21 equip you with every good thing to do his will, carrying out in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen.
在一切善事上成全你们, 好使你们遵行他的旨意; 又借着耶稣基督在我们里面, 行他所喜悦的事. 愿荣耀归给他, 直到永永远远. 阿们.

13:22 Now I urge you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for indeed I have written to you briefly.
弟兄们, 我劝你们耐心接受我这劝勉的话, 因为我只是简略地写给你们.

13:23 Know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you, if he comes quickly enough.
你们要知道, 我们的弟兄提摩太已经释放了; 如果他来得早, 我就跟他一起去看你们.

13:24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
请问候所有领导你们的人和所有圣徒. 从意大利来的人也问候你们.

13:25 Grace be with all of you.
愿恩惠与你们众人同在.

James (雅各书)

James - Chapter 1

1:1 James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion. Greetings!
神和主耶稣基督的仆人雅各, 向散居各地的十二支派问安.

1:2 Consider it all joy, my brothers, whenever you encounter various trials,
我的弟兄们, 你们遭遇各种试炼的时候, 都要看为喜乐;

1:3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
因为知道你们的信心经过考验, 就产生忍耐.

1:4 And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.
但忍耐要坚持到底(“坚持到底”原文作“有完全的功效”), 使你们可以完全, 毫无缺乏.

1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask for it from God, who gives to all without reservation and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.
你们中间若有人缺少智慧, 就当向那厚赐众人, 而且不斥责人的神祈求, 他就必得着.

1:6 But let him ask for it in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.
可是, 他应该凭着信心祈求, 不要有疑惑; 因为疑惑的人, 就像被风吹荡翻腾的海浪.

1:7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
那样的人, 不要想从主得到什么;

1:8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
因为三心两意的人, 在他的一切道路上, 都摇摆不定.

1:9 Now let the brother of humble circumstances boast in his high position,
卑微的弟兄应当以高升为荣;

1:10 but the rich person in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of the grass.
富足的也不应该以降卑为辱; 因为他如同草上的花, 必要过去.

1:11 For the sun rises with its burning heat and dries up the grass, and its flower falls off, and the beauty of its appearance is lost. So also the rich person in his pursuits will wither away.
太阳一出, 热风一吹, 草必枯干, 花必凋谢, 它的美容就消失了; 富足的人也必在他的奔波经营中这样衰落.

1:12 Blessed is the person who endures testing, because when he is approved he will receive the crown of life that he has promised to those who love him.
能忍受试炼的人, 是有福的; 因为他经过考验之后, 必得着生命的冠冕, 这冠冕是主应许给爱他的人的.

1:13 No one who is being tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
人被试探, 不可说“我被神试探”; 因为神不能被恶试探, 他也不试探任何人.

1:14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away and enticed by his own desires.
每一个人受试探, 都是被自己的私欲所勾引诱惑的.

1:15 Then desire, after it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is brought to completion, gives birth to death.
私欲怀了胎, 就生出罪; 罪长成了, 就产生死亡.

1:16 Do not be deceived, my dear brothers.
我亲爱的弟兄们, 不要看错了.

1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change.
各样美好的赏赐, 各样完备的恩赐, 都是从上面,从众光之父降下来的, 他本身并没有改变, 也没有转动的影子.

1:18 By his will he gave birth to us through the message of truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
他凭着自己的旨意, 借着真理的道生了我们, 使我们作他所造的万物中初熟的果子.

1:19 Understand this, my dear brothers: every person must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
我亲爱的弟兄们, 你们要知道, 人人都应该快快地听, 慢慢地说, 慢一点动怒;

1:20 for human anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
因为人的忿怒并不能成全神的义.

1:21 Therefore, putting aside all moral uncleanness and wicked excess, welcome with humility the implanted message which is able to save your souls.
所以你们应当摆脱一切污秽和所有的邪恶, 以温柔的心领受神栽种的道; 这道能救你们的灵魂.

1:22 But be doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
你们应该作行道的人, 不要单作听道的人, 自己欺骗自己;

1:23 because if anyone is a hearer of the message and not a doer, this one is like someone staring at his own face in a mirror,
因为人若只作听道的人, 不作行道的人, 他就像一个人对着镜子看自己本来的面貌,

1:24 for he looks at himself and goes away and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.
看过走开以后, 马上就忘记自己的样子.

1:25 But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do it, not being a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts, this one will be blessed in what he does.
唯有详细察看那使人自由的全备的律法, 并且时常遵守的人, 他不是听了就忘记, 而是实行出来, 就必因自己所作的蒙福.

1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious, although he does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
如果有人自以为虔诚, 却不约束他的舌头, 反而自己欺骗自己, 这人的虔诚是没有用的.

1:27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
在父神看来, 纯洁无玷污的虔诚, 就是照顾患难中的孤儿寡妇, 并且保守自己不被世俗所污染.

James - Chapter 2

2:1 My brothers, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
我的弟兄们, 你们既然对我们荣耀的主耶稣基督有信心, 就不应该凭外貌待人.

2:2 For if someone enters into your assembly in fine clothing with a gold ring on his finger, and a poor person in filthy clothing also enters,
如果有一个手戴金戒指,身穿华丽衣服的人, 进入你们的会堂; 又有一个衣衫褴褛的穷人, 也进去了.

2:3 and you look favorably on the one wearing the fine clothing and you say, “Be seated here in a good place,” and to the poor person you say, “You stand or be seated there by my footstool,”
你们就看重那穿华丽衣服的人, 说: “请坐在这好位上. ”又对那个穷人说: “你站在那里. ”或说: “坐在我的脚凳下边. ”

2:4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
这不是你们对人有歧视, 成了心怀恶意的审判官吗?

2:5 Listen, my dear brothers! Did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
我亲爱的弟兄们, 请听: 神不是拣选了在世上被认为贫穷的人吗? 这些人却在信心上富足, 而且是承受神的国的人. 这国是神应许赐给爱他的人的.

2:6 But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich exploiting you and they themselves dragging you into the courts?
然而你们却侮辱穷人. 其实, 那些欺压你们, 拉你们上法庭的, 不就是富足的人吗?

2:7 Do they themselves not blaspheme the good name of the one to whom you belong?
难道不是他们亵渎那召你们的尊名吗? (或译: “难道不是他们毁谤你们蒙召的美名吗? ”)

2:8 However, if you carry out the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
你们若照着圣经所说“要爱人如己”这话, 去完成这至尊的律法, 你们就作对了.

2:9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and thus are convicted by the law as transgressors.
如果你们凭外貌待人, 就是犯罪, 律法就要裁定你们是犯法的.

2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles in one point only has become guilty of all of it.
因为凡是遵守全部律法的, 只要在一条上失足, 就违犯所有的了.

2:11 For the one who said “Do not commit adultery” also said “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
就像那说“不可奸淫”的, 也说“不可杀人”; 你纵然不奸淫, 却杀人, 还是犯法的.

2:12 Thus speak and thus act as those who are going to be judged by the law of liberty.
你们既然按着使人自由的律法受审判, 就应照着这律法说话行事.

2:13 For judgment is merciless to the one who has not practiced mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
因为对不行怜悯的人, 审判他们的时候就没有怜悯; 怜悯胜过审判.

2:14 What is the benefit, my brothers, if someone says that he has faith but does not have works? That faith is not able to save him, is it?
我的弟兄们, 人若说他有信心, 却没有行为, 有什么益处呢? 这信心能救他吗?

2:15 If a brother or a sister is poorly clothed and lacking food for the day,
如果有弟兄或姊妹缺衣少食,

2:16 and one of you should say to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but does not give them what is necessary for the body, what is the benefit?
而你们中间有人对他们说: “平平安安地去吧! 愿你们穿得暖, 吃得饱. ”却不给他们身体所需用的, 那有什么用处呢?

2:17 Thus also faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.
照样, 如果只有信心, 没有行为, 这信心就是死的.

2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
也许有人要说, 你有信心, 我有行为; 请把你没有行为的信心指给我看, 我就借着我的行为, 把我的信心指给你看.

2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe, and shudder!
你信神只有一位, 你信的不错; 就连鬼魔也信, 却是战兢.

2:20 But do you want to know, O foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
愚昧的人哪, 你愿意知道没有行为的信心是没有用的吗?

2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?
我们的祖先亚伯拉罕, 把他的儿子以撒献在祭坛上, 不是因行为称义吗?

2:22 You see that faith was working together with his works, and by the works the faith was perfected.
你看, 他的信心与行为是一致的, 信心就因着行为得到完全了;

2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.
这正应验了经上所说的: “亚伯拉罕信神, 这就算为他的义. ”他也被称为神的朋友.

2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
可见人称义是因着行为, 不仅是因着信心.

2:25 And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by a different route?
照样, 妓女喇合接待了探子, 又从另一条路把他们送走, 不也是因行为称义吗?

2:26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
身体没有灵魂是死的, 照样, 信心没有行为也是死的.

James - Chapter 3

3:1 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we will receive a greater judgment.
我的弟兄们, 你们不应该有太多人作教师, 因为知道我们作教师的将受更严厉的审判.

3:2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to hold in check his whole body also.
我们在许多的事上都有过错, 假如有人在言语上没有过错, 他就是完全的人, 也能够控制全身.

3:3 And if we put bits in the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we also guide their whole bodies.
我们若把嚼环扣入马嘴, 使它们驯服, 就能驾驭它们的全身.

3:4 Behold also ships: although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot wishes.
试看, 船只虽然甚大, 又被狂风催逼, 舵手只用小小的舵, 就可以随意操纵.

3:5 So also the tongue is a small member of the body and boasts great things. Behold how small a fire sets ablaze how great a forest!
照样, 舌头虽然是个小肢体, 却会说夸大的话. 试看, 星星之火, 可以燎原;

3:6 And the tongue is a fire! The world of unrighteousness, the tongue, is set among our members, defiling the whole body and setting on fire the course of human existence, being set on fire by hell.
舌头就是火, 在我们百体中, 是个不义的世界, 能污秽全身, 把整个生命在运转中焚烧起来, 而且是被地狱之火点燃的.

3:7 For every species of animals and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, is being tamed and has been tamed by the human species,
各类飞禽,走兽,昆虫,水族, 都可以驯服, 而且都已经被人类制伏了;

3:8 but no human being is able to tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
可是没有人能够制伏舌头; 它是喋喋不休的恶物, 充满了致命的毒素.

3:9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.
我们用它来称颂我们的主和天父, 又用它来咒诅照神的形象被造的人.

3:10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so!
同一张嘴竟然又称颂主, 又咒诅人; 我的弟兄们, 这是不应该的!

3:11 A spring does not pour forth from the same opening fresh and bitter water, does it?
同一泉眼里能够涌出甜水和苦水来吗?

3:12 A fig tree is not able, my brothers, to produce olives, or a grapevine figs. Neither can a saltwater spring produce fresh water.
我的弟兄们, 无花果树能结橄榄吗? 葡萄树能长无花果吗? 咸水也不能发出甜水来.

3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good behavior his works, with the humility of wisdom.
你们中间谁是有智慧,有见识的呢? 他就应当有美好的生活, 用明智的温柔, 把自己的行为表现出来.

3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
如果你们心中存着刻薄的嫉妒和自私, 就不可夸口, 也不可说谎抵挡真理.

3:15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
这种智慧不是从天上来的, 而是属地的,属血气的和属鬼魔的.

3:16 For where there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.
因为凡有嫉妒和自私的地方, 就必有扰乱和各样的坏事.

3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, nonjudgmental, without hypocrisy,
至于从天上来的智慧, 首先是纯洁的, 其次是和平的, 温柔的, 谦逊的, 满有恩慈和善果, 没有偏袒, 没有虚伪.

3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace among those who make peace.
这是缔造和平的人, 用和平所培植出来的义果.

James - Chapter 4

4:1 From where are conflicts and from where are quarrels among you? Is it not from this, from your pleasures that wage war among your members?
你们中间的争执和打斗是从哪里来的呢? 不是从你们肢体中好斗的私欲来的吗?

4:2 You desire and do not have; you murder and are filled with envy, and are not able to obtain; you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
你们放纵贪欲, 如果得不到, 就杀人; 你们嫉妒, 如果一无所得, 就打斗争执. 你们得不到, 因为你们不求;

4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, in order that you may spend it on your pleasures.
你们求也得不到, 因为你们的动机不良, 要把所得的耗费在你们的私欲上.

4:4 Adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
淫乱的人哪, 你们不知道与世俗为友, 就是与神为敌吗? 所以与世俗为友的, 就成了神的仇敌.

4:5 Or do you think that in vain the scripture says, “The spirit which he caused to dwell in us desires jealously”?
圣经说: “神爱他那安置在我们里面的灵, 爱到嫉妒的地步”(或译: “神安置在我们里面的灵, 爱到嫉妒的地步”), 你们想这话是徒然的吗?

4:6 But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
但神所赐的恩更大; 所以圣经上说: “神抵挡骄傲的人, 赐恩给谦卑的人. ”

4:7 Therefore subject yourselves to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
你们应当顺服神, 抵挡魔鬼, 魔鬼就逃避你们.

4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded!
你们应当亲近神, 神就亲近你们. 罪人啊, 要洁净你们的手; 三心两意的人哪, 要清洁你们的心.

4:9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloominess.
你们要愁苦,悲哀,哭泣, 把欢笑变为伤痛, 把快乐变为忧愁.

4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
你们务要在主面前谦卑, 他就使你们高升.

4:11 Do not speak evil of one another, brothers. The one who speaks evil of a brother or judges his brother speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of the law.
弟兄们, 不要互相毁谤; 人若毁谤弟兄, 或判断弟兄, 就是毁谤律法,判断律法了. 如果你判断律法, 就不是实行律法的人, 而是审判官了.

4:12 There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
立法的, 审判的, 只有一位, 就是那能拯救人, 也能毁灭人的神; 你这判断邻舍的, 你是谁呢?

4:13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there, and carry on business and make a profit,”
你们说: “今天或明天, 我们要到某城去, 在那里住一年, 作生意赚钱. ”

4:14 you who do not know what will happen tomorrow, what your life will be like. For you are a smoky vapor that appears for a short time and then disappears.
其实明天怎样, 你们并不知道. 你们的生命是什么呢? 你们本来是过眼云烟, 转瞬之间就消逝了.

4:15 Instead you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
你们倒不如说: “主若愿意, 我们就可以活着, 作这事或作那事. ”

4:16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
但现在你们竟然张狂自夸; 这一切自夸, 都是邪恶的.

4:17 Therefore, to the one who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
人若知道该行善事, 却不去行, 这就是他的罪了.

James - Chapter 5

5:1 Come now, you rich people, weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming upon you!
你们富有的人哪, 应当为那将要临到你们的灾祸哭泣哀号.

5:2 Your wealth has rotted, and your clothing has become moth-eaten.
你们的财物朽坏了, 你们的衣服给蛀了,

5:3 Your gold and silver have become corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you, and it will consume your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days.
你们的金银生锈, 这锈要成为控告你们的铁证, 又要像火一样吞吃你们的肉. 你们竟然在这末世积聚财宝.

5:4 Behold, the wages that were held back by you from the workers who reap your fields cry out, and the cries of the reapers have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts.
看哪, 工人为你们收割庄稼, 你们竟然克扣他们的工资; 那工资必为他们呼冤; 收割者的呼声, 已经达到万军之主的耳中了.

5:5 You have lived self-indulgently on the earth and have lived luxuriously. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
你们在世上穷奢极侈, 养肥了自己, 竟不知屠宰的日子到了.

5:6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous person; he does not resist you.
你们把义人定罪杀害, 但他并没有反抗.

5:7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the soil, being patient concerning it until it receives the early and late rains.
所以, 弟兄们, 你们应当忍耐, 直到主来. 看哪, 农夫等待着地里宝贵的出产, 为它忍耐, 直到获得秋霖春雨.

5:8 You also be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is near.
你们也应当忍耐, 坚定自己的心; 因为主再来的日子近了.

5:9 Brothers, do not complain against one another, in order that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the doors!
弟兄们, 不要彼此抱怨, 免得你们受审判. 看哪, 审判的主已经站在门前了.

5:10 Brothers, take as an example of perseverance and endurance the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
弟兄们, 你们应当效法奉主的名说话的先知, 以他们为受苦忍耐的榜样.

5:11 Behold, we consider blessed those who have endured. You have heard about the patient endurance of Job, and you saw the outcome from the Lord, that the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
看哪, 那些忍耐的人, 我们称他们是有福的; 你们听过约伯的忍耐, 也看见了主赐给他的结局, 知道主是满有怜悯和仁慈的.

5:12 Now above all, my brothers, do not swear either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no, no, in order that you may not fall under judgment.
我的弟兄们, 最要紧的是不可起誓: 不可指着天起誓, 也不可指着地起誓, 任何的誓都当禁绝. 你们的话, 是就说是, 不是就说不是; 免得你们落在审判之下.

5:13 Is anyone among you suffering misfortune? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praise.
你们中间有人受苦吗? 他就应该祷告. 有人心情愉快吗? 他就应该歌颂.

5:14 Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the elders of the church and they should pray over him, anointing him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.
你们中间有人患病吗? 他就应该请教会的长老来, 让他们奉主的名为他抹油祈祷.

5:15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins he will be forgiven.
出于信心的祈祷, 可以使病人康复, 主必叫他起来; 他若犯了罪, 也必蒙赦免.

5:16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much.
所以你们应当彼此认罪, 互相代求, 这样你们就可以痊愈. 义人祈祷所发出的力量, 是大有功效的.

5:17 Elijah was a human being with the same nature as us, and he prayed fervently for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
以利亚是与我们性情相同的人; 他恳切祈求不要下雨, 地上就三年零六个月没有雨;

5:18 And he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the earth produced its fruit.
他又祈祷, 天就下雨, 地就生出土产来.

5:19 My brothers, if anyone among you should wander away from the truth and someone turns him back,
我的弟兄们, 你们中间若有人被骗离开了真道, 如果有人使他回头,

5:20 he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save that person’s soul from death, and will cover over a great number of sins.
你们应该知道, 那使罪人从歧途上转回的, 就会拯救他的灵魂脱离死亡, 也会遮盖许多罪恶.

I Peter (彼得前书)

I Peter - Chapter 1

1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen who are residing temporarily in the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
耶稣基督的使徒彼得, 写信给那分散在本都,加拉太,加帕多家,亚西亚,庇推尼寄居的人,

1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and for sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
就是照着父神的预知蒙拣选, 借着圣灵得成圣洁, 因而顺服, 并且被耶稣基督的血洒过的人. 愿恩惠平安多多地加给你们.

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
我们主耶稣基督的父神是应当称颂的. 他照着自己的大怜悯, 借着耶稣基督从死人中复活, 重生了我们, 使我们有永活的盼望,

1:4 into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you
可以得着不能朽坏,不能玷污,不能衰残, 为你们存留在天上的基业,

1:5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time,
就是你们这因信蒙神能力保守的人, 得着预备在末世要显现的救恩.

1:6 in which you rejoice greatly, although now for a short time, if necessary, you are distressed by various trials,
因此, 你们要喜乐. 然而, 你们现今在各种试炼中或许暂时会难过,

1:7 so that the genuineness of your faith, more valuable than gold that is passing away, but is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
是要叫你们的信心经过试验, 就比那被火炼过, 仍会朽坏的金子更宝贵, 可以在耶稣基督显现的时候, 得着称赞,荣耀和尊贵.

1:8 whom, although you have not seen, you love; in whom now you believe, although you do not see him, and you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
你们虽然没有见过他, 却爱他; 现在虽然不能看见他, 却信他. 因此, 你们就有无法形容,满有荣耀的大喜乐,

1:9 obtaining the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
得到你们信心的效果, 就是灵魂得救.

1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace meant for you sought and made careful inquiry,
论到这救恩, 那预言你们要得恩典的众先知, 都寻求考察过,

1:11 investigating for what person or which time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he testified beforehand to the sufferings with reference to Christ and the glories after these things,
就是把他们心里基督的灵所预先见证, 关于基督要受苦难后来得荣耀, 是在什么时候和怎样的情况加以考察.

1:12 to whom it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you with reference to the same things which now have been announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels desire to look.
他们蒙了启示, 为这些事效力, 并不是为自己, 而是为你们. 现在, 借着传福音给你们的人, 靠着从天上差来的圣灵, 把这些事传给了你们; 甚至天使也很想详细察看这些事.

1:13 Therefore, when you have prepared your minds for action by being self-controlled, put your hope completely in the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
所以要准备好你们的心, 警醒谨慎, 专心盼望耶稣基督显现的时候所要带给你们的恩典.

1:14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former desires you used to conform to in your ignorance,
你们既是顺服的儿女, 就不要再效法从前无知的时候放纵私欲的生活.

1:15 but as the one who called you is holy, you yourselves be holy in all your conduct,
那召你们的既是圣洁的, 你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁.

1:16 for it is written, “You will be holy, because I am holy.”
因为圣经上记着说: “你们要圣洁, 因为我是圣洁的. ”

1:17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves with fear during the time of your temporary residence,
你们既称那不偏待人,按各人行为审判的主为父, 就当存敬畏的心, 过你们寄居的日子;

1:18 because you know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your ancestors not with perishable things like silver or gold,
因为知道你们得赎, 脱去你们祖先传下的妄行, 不是凭着能坏的金银等物,

1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb
而是凭着基督的宝血, 就像无瑕疵无玷污的羊羔的血.

1:20 who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has been revealed in these last times for you
基督是在创立世界以前, 是神所预知的, 却在这末后的世代才为你们显现出来.

1:21 who through him are believing in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
借着他, 你们信那使他从死人中复活,又给他荣耀的神, 叫你们的信心和盼望都在于神.

1:22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, love one another fervently from the heart,
你们既因顺从真理, 洁净了自己的心灵, 以致能真诚地爱弟兄, 就应当从清洁的心里彼此切实相爱.

1:23 because you have been born again, not from perishable seed but imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
你们得了重生, 并不是由于能坏的种子, 却是由于不能朽坏的, 就是借着神永活长存的道.

1:24 For “all flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and the flower falls off,
因为“所有的人(“人”原文作“肉体”), 尽都如草, 他们的荣美, 都像草上的花; 草必枯干, 花必凋谢,

1:25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that has been proclaimed to you.
唯有主的道, 永远长存. ”所传给你们的福音就是这道.

I Peter - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,
所以要除去一切恶毒,一切诡诈,虚伪,嫉妒和一切毁谤的话,

2:2 like newborn infants long for the unadulterated spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,
像初生婴孩爱慕那纯净的灵奶, 好叫你们靠它长大, 进入救恩;

2:3 if you have tasted that the Lord is kind,
因为你们已经体验过主是美善的.

2:4 to whom you are drawing near, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God.
主是活石, 虽然被人弃绝, 却是神所拣选所珍贵的; 你们到他面前来,

2:5 And you yourselves, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
也就像活石, 被建造成为灵宫, 作圣洁的祭司, 借着耶稣基督献上蒙神悦纳的灵祭.

2:6 For it stands in scripture, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
因为经上记着: “看哪, 我在锡安放了一块石头, 就是所拣选所珍贵的房角石, 信靠他的人, 必不致失望. ”

2:7 Therefore the honor is for you who believe, but for those who refuse to believe, “The stone that the builders rejected, this one has become the cornerstone,”
所以这石头, 对你们信的人是宝贵的, 但对那不信的人, 却是“建筑工人所弃的石头, 成了房角的主要石头. ”

2:8 and “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,” who stumble because they disobey the word to which also they were consigned.
它又“作了绊脚的石头, 使人跌倒的磐石. ”他们跌倒是因为不顺从这道, 他们这样是必然的.

2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s possession, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,
然而你们是蒙拣选的族类, 是君尊的祭司, 是圣洁的国民, 是属神的子民, 为要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德.

2:10 who once were not a people, but now are the people of God, the ones who were not shown mercy, but now are shown mercy.
“你们从前不是子民, 现在却是神的子民; 从前未蒙怜恤, 现在却蒙了怜恤. ”

2:11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires which wage war against your soul,
亲爱的, 我劝你们作客旅和寄居的人, 要禁戒肉体的私欲, 这私欲是与灵魂争战的.

2:12 maintaining your good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in the things in which they slander you as evildoers, by seeing your good deeds they may glorify God on the day of visitation.
你们在教外人中, 应当品行端正, 使那些人, 虽然毁谤你们是作恶的, 但因为看见你们的好行为, 就要在鉴察的日子颂赞神.

2:13 Subject yourselves to every human authority for the sake of the Lord, whether to a king as having supreme authority,
你们为主的缘故, 要顺服人的一切制度, 无论是至尊的君王,

2:14 or to governors as those sent out by him for the punishment of those who do evil and the praise of those who do good.
或是君王所派赏善罚恶的官员;

2:15 For the will of God is as follows: by doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish people.
因为这是神的旨意, 要借着你们的善行, 塞住糊涂无知人的口.

2:16 Live as free persons, and not using your freedom as a covering for evil, but as slaves of God.
你们是自由的人, 但不要用自由来掩饰邪恶, 总要像神的仆人.

2:17 Honor all people, love the community of believers, fear God, honor the king.
要尊重众人, 爱护弟兄, 敬畏神, 尊敬君王.

2:18 Domestic slaves, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unjust.
你们作仆人的, 要凡事敬畏顺服主人, 不单是对善良温和的, 就是乖僻的也要顺服.

2:19 For this finds favor, if because of consciousness of God someone endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.
因为人若在神面前为良心的缘故, 忍受冤屈的苦楚, 是有福的.

2:20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if you endure when you do good and suffer for it, this finds favor with God.
你们若因犯罪受责打而能忍耐, 有什么可夸的呢? 但你们若因行善而受苦, 能忍耐, 在神看来, 这是有福的.

2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his footsteps,
你们就是为此蒙召, 因基督也为你们受过苦, 给你们留下榜样, 叫你们跟随他的脚踪行.

2:22 who did not commit sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth,
“他从来没有犯过罪, 口里也找不到诡诈. ”

2:23 who when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when suffering, he did not threaten, but entrusted himself to the one who judges justly,
他被骂的时候不还嘴, 受苦的时候也不说恐吓的话; 只把自己交托给那公义的审判者.

2:24 who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we may die to sins and live to righteousness, by whose wounds you were healed.
他在木头上亲身担当了我们的罪, 使我们既然不活在罪中, 就可以为义而活. 因他受的鞭伤, 你们就得了医治.

2:25 For you were going astray like sheep, but you have turned back now to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
你们从前好像迷路的羊, 但现在已经回到你们灵魂的牧人和监督那里了.

I Peter - Chapter 3

3:1 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some are disobedient to the word, they may be won over without a word by the conduct of their wives,
照样, 你们作妻子的, 要顺服自己的丈夫, 好使不信道的丈夫受到感动, 不是因着你们的言语, 而是因着你们的生活,

3:2 when they see your respectful, pure conduct.
因为他们看见了你们敬畏和纯洁的生活.

3:3 Let your adornment not be the external kind, braiding hair and putting on gold jewelry or putting on fine clothing,
不要单注重外表的装饰, 就如鬈头发,戴金饰,穿华丽衣服;

3:4 but the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is highly valuable in the sight of God.
却要在里面存着温柔安静的心灵, 作不能毁坏的装饰, 这在神面前是极宝贵的.

3:5 For in the same way formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves by being subject to their own husbands,
因为古时仰望神的圣洁妇女, 正是这样装饰自己, 顺服丈夫,

3:6 like Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you have become when you do good and are not frightened with respect to any terror.
像撒拉听从亚伯拉罕, 称他为主一样; 你们若行善, 不怕任何恐吓, 就是撒拉的女儿了.

3:7 Husbands, in the same way live with your wives knowledgeably, as with the weaker female vessel, showing them honor as fellow heirs also of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
照样, 你们作丈夫的, 也要合情合理的与妻子同住. 要体谅她比你软弱, 要尊敬她, 因为她是和你一同承受生命的恩典的. 这样, 就使你们的祷告不受拦阻.

3:8 And finally, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, showing mutual affection, compassionate, humble,
总括来说, 你们要彼此同心, 互相体恤, 亲爱像弟兄, 满有温柔, 存心谦卑.

3:9 not repaying evil for evil or insult for insult, but on the other hand blessing others, because for this reason you were called, so that you could inherit a blessing.
不要以恶报恶, 以辱骂还辱骂, 倒要祝福, 因为你们就是为此蒙召, 好叫你们承受福气.

3:10 For “The one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips must not speak deceit.
因为“凡希望享受人生, 要看见好日子的, 就要禁止舌头不出恶言, 嘴唇不说诡诈的话;

3:11 And he must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
也要离恶行善, 寻找并追求和睦.

3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
因为主的眼睛看顾义人, 他的耳朵垂听他们的呼求; 但主的脸敌对作恶的人. ”

3:13 And who is the one who will harm you if you are a zealous adherent for what is good?
如果你们热心行善, 有谁能害你们呢?

3:14 But even if you might suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their intimidation or be disturbed,
就算你们要为义受苦, 也是有福的. ”不要怕人的恐吓, 也不要畏惧. ”

3:15 but set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense to anyone who asks you for an accounting concerning the hope that is in you.
只要心里尊基督为圣, 以他为主; 常常作好准备, 去回答那些问你们为什么怀有盼望的人,

3:16 But do so with courtesy and respect, having a good conscience, so that in the things in which you are slandered, the ones who malign your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame.
但要用温柔敬畏的心回答. 当存无愧的良心, 使那些诬赖你们这在基督里有好品行的人, 在毁谤你们的事上蒙羞.

3:17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, than for doing evil.
如果神的旨意是要你们受苦, 那么为行善受苦, 总比为行恶受苦好.

3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, in order that he could bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,
因为基督也曾一次为你们的罪死了, 就是义的代替不义的, 为要领你们到神面前. 就肉体的方面说, 他曾死去; 就灵的方面说, 他复活了;

3:19 in which also he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison,
他借这灵也曾去向那些在监管中的灵宣讲,

3:20 who were formerly disobedient, when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, while an ark was being constructed, in which a few—that is, eight souls—were rescued through water.
他们就是挪亚建造方舟的日子,神容忍等待的时候, 那些不顺从的人. 当时进入方舟,借着水得救的人不多, 只有八个.

3:21 And also, corresponding to this, baptism now saves you, not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
这水预表的洗礼, 现在也拯救你们: 不是除去肉体的污秽, 而是借着耶稣基督的复活, 向神许愿常存纯洁的良心.

3:22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, with angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to him.
基督已进到天上, 在神右边, 众天使,有权势的,有能力的, 都服从了他.

I Peter - Chapter 4

4:1 Therefore, because Christ suffered in the flesh, you also equip yourselves with the same way of thinking, because the one who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
基督既然在肉身受过苦, 你们也应当以同样的心志装备自己(因为在肉身受过苦的, 就已经与罪断绝了),

4:2 in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for the will of God.
好叫你们不再随从人的私欲, 只顺从神的旨意, 在世上度余下的光阴.

4:3 For the time that has passed was sufficient to do what the Gentiles desire to do, having lived in licentiousness, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries,
因为你们过去随从教外人的心意, 行邪淫,私欲,醉酒,荒宴,狂饮和可憎拜偶像的事, 时候已经够了.

4:4 with respect to which they are surprised when you do not run with them into the same flood of dissipation, and so they revile you.
他们见你们不再与他们同奔那纵情放荡的路, 就觉得奇怪, 毁谤你们.

4:5 They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
他们必要向那位预备要审判活人死人的主交帐.

4:6 Because for this reason also the gospel was preached to those who are dead, so that they were judged by human standards in the flesh, but they may live in the spirit by God’s standards.
因此, 那些死人也曾有福音传给他们, 好使他们的肉体受了人要受的审判, 他们的灵却靠神活着.

4:7 Now the end of all things draws near. Therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for your prayers.
万物的结局近了, 所以你们要谨慎警醒地祷告.

4:8 Above all, keep your love for one another constant, because love covers a large number of sins.
最重要的是要彼此切实相爱, 因为爱能遮盖许多的罪.

4:9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.
你们要互相接待, 不发怨言.

4:10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it for serving one another, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.
你们要作神各样恩赐的好管家, 各人照着所领受的恩赐彼此服事.

4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as the oracles of God; if anyone serves, let it be as by the strength that God provides, so that in all things God will be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
讲道的, 应当按着神的圣言讲; 服事的, 应当按着神所赐的力量服事, 为要在一切事上, 使神借耶稣基督得荣耀. 荣耀,权能都是他的, 直到永永远远. 阿们.

4:12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, when it takes place to test you, as if something strange were happening to you.
亲爱的, 有火炼的试验临到你们, 不要以为奇怪, 好像是遭遇非常的事,

4:13 But to the degree that you share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and be glad.
倒要欢喜, 因为你们既然在基督的受苦上有分, 就在他荣耀显现的时候, 可以欢喜快乐.

4:14 If you are reviled on account of the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
你们要是为基督的名受辱骂, 就有福了! 因为神荣耀的灵, 住在你们身上.

4:15 By all means do not let anyone of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.
你们中间不可有人因为杀人,或偷窃,或行恶,或好管闲事而受苦.

4:16 But if someone suffers as a Christian, he must not be ashamed, but must glorify God with this name.
如果因为作基督徒而受苦, 不要以为羞耻, 倒要借着这名字荣耀神.

4:17 For it is the time for the judgment to begin out from the household of God. But if it begins out from us first, what will be the outcome for those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?
因为审判从神的家开始, 就在这时候了. 如果先从我们起头, 那不信从神福音的人, 结局将要怎样呢?

4:18 And if the righteous are saved with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?
“如果义人仅仅得救, 不敬虔和犯罪的人, 又会变成怎样呢? ”

4:19 So then also those who suffer according to the will of God must entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing good.
所以那顺着神的旨意而受苦的人, 要继续地行善, 把自己的生命交托那信实的创造者.

I Peter - Chapter 5

5:1 Therefore I, your fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a sharer of the glory that is going to be revealed, exhort the elders among you:
我这同作长老, 也是为基督受苦作见证, 又是同享将来所要显现的荣耀的, 劝你们当中作长老的:

5:2 shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not by compulsion but willingly, in accordance with God, and not greedily but eagerly,
务要牧养你们中间的羊群, 按着神的旨意照顾他们. 不是出于勉强, 而是出于甘心; 不是因为贪财, 而是出于热诚;

5:3 and not as lording it over those under your care, but being examples for the flock.
也不是要辖制托付你们的羊群, 而是作他们的榜样.

5:4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
到了牧长显现的时候, 你们必定得着那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕.

5:5 In the same way, younger men, be subject to the elders, and all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
照样, 你们青年人要顺服年长的. 就是你们各人也要彼此以谦卑为装束, 因为“神敌挡骄傲的人, 赐恩给谦卑的人. ”

5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the right time,
所以你们要谦卑, 服在神大能的手下, 到了时候, 他必叫你们升高.

5:7 casting all your cares on him, because he cares for you.
你们要把一切忧虑卸给神, 因为他顾念你们.

5:8 Be sober; be on the alert. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
你们要谨守,警醒. 你们的仇敌魔鬼, 好像吼叫的狮子走来走去, 寻找可以吞吃的人;

5:9 Resist him, steadfast in your faith, because you know the same kinds of sufferings are being accomplished by your community of believers in the world.
你们要用坚强的信心抵挡他, 因为知道你们在世上的弟兄, 也经历过同样的苦难.

5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
但满有恩典的神, 就是在基督里召你们进入他永远荣耀的那一位, 在你们受了短暂的苦难之后, 必定亲自成全你们, 坚固你们, 赐力量给你们, 建立你们.

5:11 To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
愿权能归给他, 直到永远. 阿们.

5:12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly to encourage you and to attest that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
我借着我认为忠心的弟兄西拉, 简略地写了这封信劝勉你们, 又向你们证实这是神真正的恩典; 你们要在这恩典上站立得住.

5:13 She who is in Babylon, chosen the same as you, greets you, and so does my son Mark.
在巴比伦与你们同蒙拣选的, 和我儿子马可都问候你们.

5:14 Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
你们要用爱心彼此亲嘴问安. 愿平安归与你们所有在基督里的人.

II Peter (彼得后书)

II Peter - Chapter 1

1:1 Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith equal in value to ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
耶稣基督的仆人和使徒西门．彼得, 写信给那靠着我们的神和救主耶稣基督的义, 得着和我们同样宝贵信心的人.

1:2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
愿恩惠平安, 因你们确实认识神和我们的主耶稣, 多多加给你们.

1:3 because his divine power has bestowed on us all things that are necessary for life and godliness, through the knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence of character,
神以他神圣的能力, 因着我们确实认识那位用自己的荣耀和美善呼召我们的, 把一切有关生命和敬虔的事, 都赐给了我们.

1:4 through which things he has bestowed on us his precious and very great promises, so that through these you may become sharers of the divine nature after escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire,
借着这些, 他把又宝贵又极大的应许赐给了我们, 好叫你们既然逃脱世上因私欲而来的败坏, 就可以分享神的本性.

1:5 and for this same reason, and by applying all diligence, supply with your faith excellence of character, and with excellence of character, knowledge,
正因这缘故, 你们要多多努力: 有了信心, 又要增添美德; 有了美德, 又要增添知识;

1:6 and with knowledge, self-control, and with self-control, patient endurance, and with patient endurance, godliness,
有了知识, 又要增添节制; 有了节制, 又要增添忍耐; 有了忍耐, 又要增添敬虔;

1:7 and with godliness, brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love.
有了敬虔, 又要增添弟兄的爱; 有了弟兄的爱, 还要增添神圣的爱.

1:8 For if these things are yours and are increasing, this does not make you useless or unproductive in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
因为你们有了这几样, 并且继续增长, 就必叫你们在确实认识我们的主耶稣基督上, 不至于闲懒不结果子.

1:9 For the one for whom these things are not present is blind, being nearsighted, having forgotten the cleansing of his former sins.
人若没有这几样, 就是近视, 简直是瞎眼的, 忘记他过去的罪已经得了洁净.

1:10 Therefore, brothers, be zealous even more to make your calling and election secure, because if you do these things, you will never ever stumble.
所以弟兄们, 要更加努力, 使你们所蒙的呼召和拣选坚定不移; 你们若实行这几样, 就决不会跌倒.

1:11 For in this way entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied for you.
这样, 你们就得着充分的装备, 可以进入我们的主和救主耶稣基督永远的国.

1:12 Therefore I intend to remind you continually concerning these things, although you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
因此, 你们虽然已经知道这些事, 又在你们已有的真道上得到坚固, 我还要时常提醒你们.

1:13 But I consider it right, for as long as I am in this habitation, to stir you up by a reminder,
趁着我还在世上(“在世上”原文作“在这帐棚”)的时候, 我认为应当提醒你们, 使你们常常警醒,

1:14 because I know that the removal of my habitation is imminent, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
因为我知道我离世(“离世”原文作“离开这帐棚”)的时候快到了, 正如我们的主耶稣基督清楚指示我的.

1:15 And I will also make every effort that you are able at any time, after my departure, to recall these things to mind.
我也要努力, 使你们在我去世以后, 还时常追念这些事.

1:16 For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by following ingeniously concocted myths, but by being eyewitnesses of that one’s majesty.
我们从前把我们主耶稣基督的大能和降临的事告诉你们, 并不是随从巧妙捏造传奇的故事, 我们却是亲眼看见过他威荣的人.

1:17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice such as this was brought to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
因为他从父神得着尊贵荣耀的时候, 在极显赫的荣光中, 有这样的声音对他说: “这是我的爱子, 我所喜悦的. ”

1:18 And we ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain,
这从天上发出来的声音, 是我们和他同在圣山上的时候, 亲自听见过的.

1:19 and we possess as more reliable the prophetic word, to which you do well if you pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
我们还有先知的话, 是更确实的. 你们要特别注意它, 好像注意照在暗处的明灯, 直到天将破晓, 晨星在你们心里出现的时候.

1:20 recognizing this above all, that every prophecy of scripture does not come about from one’s own interpretation,
最要紧的, 你们应当知道: 圣经所有的预言, 都不是先知自己的见解,

1:21 for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
因为预言不是出于人意的, 而是人受圣灵的感动, 说出从神而来的话.

II Peter - Chapter 2

2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, thus bringing on themselves swift destruction.
从前在人民中, 曾有假先知出来; 照样, 将来在你们中间, 也必有假教师出现. 他们偷偷把使人灭亡的异端引进来, 甚至否认那曾经买赎他们的主, 迅速地自取灭亡.

2:2 And many will follow their licentious ways, because of whom the way of truth will be reviled.
许多人会随从他们的淫行, 因此真理的道, 就因他们的缘故被人毁谤.

2:3 And in greediness they will exploit you with false words, whose condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
他们因为有贪心, 就用捏造的话, 想在你们身上图利; 惩罚他们的, 自古以来就没有松懈; 毁灭他们的, 也不会打盹.

2:4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but held them captive in Tartarus with chains of darkness and handed them over to be kept for judgment,
神没有姑息犯罪的天使, 反而把他们丢入地狱, 囚禁在幽暗的坑里, 等候审判.

2:5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a proclaimer of righteousness, and seven others when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
神也没有姑息上古的世界, 反而使洪水临到那不敬虔的世人, 只保存了传义道的挪亚一家八口.

2:6 and condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes, having appointed them as an example for those who are going to be ungodly,
神判定了所多玛,蛾摩拉二城的罪, 把它们倾覆, 烧成灰烬, 作为后世不敬虔的人的鉴戒;

2:7 and rescued righteous Lot, worn down by the way of life of lawless persons in licentiousness
只救了那因恶人的淫行而常受委屈的义人罗得;

2:8 (for that righteous man, as he lived among them day after day, was tormenting his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he was seeing and hearing),
(因为这义人住在他们中间, 天天看见和听见他们不法的事, 他正直的心就感到伤痛. )

2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to reserve the unrighteous to be punished at the day of judgment,
主知道怎样搭救敬虔的人脱离试探, 又把不义的人留下来, 等候在审判的日子受刑罚,

2:10 and especially those who go after the flesh in defiling lust and who despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they do not tremble in awe as they blaspheme majestic beings,
尤其是那些随从肉体, 生活在污秽的私欲中, 和轻蔑当权的, 更是这样. 他们胆大任性, 毫无畏惧地毁谤在尊位的.

2:11 whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not bring against them a demeaning judgment.
就是天使, 虽有更大的力量与权能, 尚且不用毁谤的话在主面前控告他们.

2:12 But these persons, like irrational animals born only with natural instincts for capture and killing, blaspheming about things they do not understand, in their destruction will also be destroyed,
但这些人, 好像没有理性的牲畜, 生下来就是给人捉去宰杀的; 他们毁谤自己所不知道的事, 必在自己的败坏中灭亡.

2:13 being harmed as the wages of unrighteousness. Considering reveling in the daytime a pleasure, they are stains and blemishes, carousing in their deceitful pleasures when they feast together with you,
他们行不义, 就得了不义的工价. 他们在白昼纵情作乐, 满了污点与瑕疵, 和你们一同吃饭的时候, 就因自己的诡诈而沾沾自喜.

2:14 having eyes full of desire for an adulteress and unceasing from sin, enticing unstable persons, and having hearts trained for greediness. Accursed children!
他们满眼淫色, 而且不住地犯罪. 他们引诱心志不坚固的人. 他们的心习惯了贪婪, 是应当受咒诅的族类.

2:15 By leaving the straight path, they have gone astray, because they followed the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,
他们离弃正路, 走入歧途, 跟从了比珥的儿子巴兰的道路. 这巴兰贪爱不义的工价,

2:16 but received a rebuke for his own lawlessness: a speechless donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the prophet’s madness.
他曾经因着自己的过犯受了责备: 不能说话的驴, 竟用人的声音说出话来, 制止了这先知的狂妄.

2:17 These people are waterless springs and mists driven by a hurricane, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved.
这些人是无水的泉源, 是暴风催逼的雾气, 有漆黑的幽暗为他们存留.

2:18 For by speaking high-sounding but empty words, they entice with desires of the flesh and with licentiousness those who are scarcely escaping from those who live in error,
因为他们说虚妄夸大的话, 用肉体的私欲和邪荡的事, 引诱那些刚刚逃脱了错谬生活的人.

2:19 promising them freedom although they themselves are slaves of depravity. For to whatever someone succumbs, by this he is also enslaved.
他们应许给人自由, 自己却作了败坏的奴仆; 因为人给谁制伏了, 就作谁的奴仆.

2:20 For if, after they have escaped from the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and they are again entangled in these things and succumb to them, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
如果他们因为认识我们的主,救主耶稣基督, 可以脱离世上的污秽, 后来又在其中被缠住,受制伏, 他们末了的景况, 就比先前的更不好了.

2:21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them.
既然认识了义路, 竟又背弃传给他们的圣诫命, 对他们来说, 倒不如不认识好得多了.

2:22 The statement of the true proverb has happened to them, “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and “A sow, after washing herself, returns to wallowing in the mud.”
他们的情形, 正像俗语所说的: “狗转过来, 又吃自己所吐的; 猪洗净了, 又到污泥中去打滚. ”

II Peter - Chapter 3

3:1 Dear friends, this is already the second letter I am writing to you, in both of which I am attempting to stir up your sincere mind by a reminder,
亲爱的, 我现在写给你们的是第二封信. 在这两封信中, 我都用提醒的话来激发你们真诚的心,

3:2 to remember the words proclaimed beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles,
叫你们记起圣先知说过的话, 和主救主借着使徒传给你们的诫命.

3:3 above all knowing this, that in the last days scoffers will come with scoffing, following according to their own desires
最重要的, 你们应当知道: 在末后的日子, 必定有好讥笑的人出来, 随着自己的私欲讥笑说:

3:4 and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued just as they have been from the beginning of creation.”
“他要降临的应许在哪里呢? 因为自从列祖睡了以来, 万物依然存在, 与起初创造的时候一样. ”

3:5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that the heavens existed long ago and the earth held together out of water and through water by the word of God,
他们故意忘记这事: 在太古的时候, 因着神的话, 就有了天, 和从水而出,借水而成的地.

3:6 by means of which things the world that existed at that time was destroyed by being inundated with water.
当时的世界, 因被水淹没而消灭了.

3:7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
但现在的天地, 还是因着同样的话可以存留, 直到不敬虔的人受审判和遭灭亡的日子, 用火焚烧.

3:8 Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day.
亲爱的, 这一件事你们不可忘记: 在主看来, 一日如千年, 千年如一日.

3:9 The Lord is not delaying the promise, as some consider slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not want any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
主决不耽延他的应许, 像有些人以为他是耽延的一样; 其实他是宽容你们, 不愿有一人灭亡, 却愿人人都悔改.

3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will disappear with a rushing noise, and the celestial bodies will be destroyed by being burned up, and the earth and the deeds done on it will be disclosed.
但主的日子必要像贼一样来到. 在那日, 天必轰然一声地消失, 所有元素都因烈火而融化; 地和地上所有的, 都要被烧毁.

3:11 Because all these things are being destroyed in this way, what sort of people must you be in holy behavior and godliness,
这一切既然都要这样融化, 你们应当怎样为人, 过着圣洁和敬虔的生活,

3:12 while waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by being burned up and the celestial bodies will melt as they are consumed by heat!
等候并催促神的日子降临呢? 因为在那日, 天要被火焚烧就融化了, 所有元素都因烈火而融解!

3:13 But according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness resides.
但是我们按照他所应许的, 等候新天新地, 有公义在那里居住.

3:14 Therefore, dear friends, because you are waiting for these things, make every effort to be found at peace, spotless and unblemished in him.
所以, 亲爱的, 你们既然等候这些事, 就当殷勤努力, 使你们没有污点, 没有瑕疵, 安然见主.

3:15 And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our dear brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom that was given to him,
并且要以我们的主恒久忍耐为给人得救的机会, 就如我们所亲爱的弟兄保罗, 按照所赐给他的智慧, 写给你们的一样;

3:16 as he does also in all his letters, speaking in them about these things, in which there are some things hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable distort to their own destruction, as they also do the rest of the scriptures.
他在一切书信上, 都讲论这些事. 在这些书信中, 有些难明白的地方, 那不学无术和不稳定的人加以曲解, 好像曲解别的经书一样, 就自取灭亡.

3:17 Therefore, dear friends, because you know this beforehand, guard yourselves so that you do not lose your own safe position because you have been led away by the error of lawless persons.
所以, 亲爱的, 你们既然预先知道了, 就要谨慎, 免得受恶人的错谬引导, 就从自己坚固的地步上坠落.

3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
你们却要在我们的主,救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上长进. 愿荣耀归给他, 从现在直到永远. 阿们.

I John (约翰一书)

I John - Chapter 1

1:1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and our hands have touched, concerning the word of life—
论到太初就已经存在的生命之道, 就是我们所听见, 亲眼所看见, 仔细观察过, 亲手摸过的;

1:2 and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify and announce to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us—
这生命已经显现出来, 我们见过了, 现在也作见证, 并且向你们宣扬这本来与父同在, 又向我们显现过的永远的生命.

1:3 what we have seen and heard, we announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
我们把所看见所听见的向你们宣扬, 使你们也可以和我们心灵相通. 我们是与父和他的儿子耶稣基督心灵相通的.

1:4 And these things we write, in order that our joy may be complete.
我们写这些事, 是要使我们的喜乐充足.

1:5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.
神是光, 在他里面毫无黑暗; 这就是我们从他那里听见, 现在传给你们的信息.

1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
我们若说自己与他心灵相通, 却行在黑暗里, 就是说谎话, 不实行真理了.

1:7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
我们若行在光中, 像他在光中一样, 就彼此心灵相通, 他儿子耶稣的血也洁净我们脱离一切罪.

1:8 If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
我们若说自己没有罪, 就是自欺, 真理就不在我们里面了.

1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so that he will forgive us our sins and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
我们若承认自己的罪, 神是信实的,公义的, 必定赦免我们的罪, 洁净我们脱离一切不义.

1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
我们若说自己没有犯过罪, 就是把神当作说谎的, 他的道就不在我们心里了.

I John - Chapter 2

2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one,
我的孩子们, 我写这些给你们, 是要你们不犯罪. 如果有人犯了罪, 在父的面前我们有一位维护者, 就是那义者耶稣基督.

2:2 and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
他为我们的罪作了赎罪祭, 不仅为我们的罪, 也为全人类的罪.

2:3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
我们若遵守神的命令, 这样, 就知道我们已经认识他.

2:4 The one who says “I have come to know him,” and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this person.
凡是说“我已经认识他”, 却不遵守他命令的, 就是说谎的人, 真理就不在他里面了.

2:5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
然而凡是遵守他的道的, 他爱神的心就的确在他里面完全了. 这样, 我们就知道我们是在神里面了.

2:6 The one who says that he resides in him ought also to walk just as that one walked.
凡说自己是住在他里面的, 就应该照着他所行的去行.

2:7 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message which you have heard.
亲爱的, 我写给你们的, 不是一条新命令, 而是你们本来就有的旧命令. 这旧命令就是你们听过的道.

2:8 Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already is shining.
然而, 因为黑暗渐渐消逝, 真光已在照耀, 我写给你们的也是一条新命令, 这在神和在你们来说, 都是真的.

2:9 The one who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness until now.
凡是说自己在光明中, 却恨他的弟兄的, 他到现在还在黑暗里.

2:10 The one who loves his brother resides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
凡是爱弟兄的, 就是住在光明中, 在光明中他就不会跌倒.

2:11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
凡是恨弟兄的, 就是在黑暗里, 也在黑暗里行事. 他不知道往哪里去, 因为黑暗弄瞎了他的眼睛.

2:12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of his name.
孩子们, 我写信给你们, 因为你们的罪因着主的名已经得到赦免.

2:13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known the One who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the evil one.
父老们, 我写信给你们, 因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位. 青年们, 我写信给你们, 因为你们已经胜过那恶者.

2:14 I have written to you, children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known the One who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.
孩子们, 我写信给你们, 因为你们认识父. 父老们, 我写信给你们, 因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位. 青年们, 我写信给你们, 因为你们强壮, 神的道在你们心里, 你们也胜过了那恶者.

2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
不要爱世界和世上的东西. 人若爱世界, 爱父的心就不在他里面了.

2:16 because everything that is in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance of material possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world.
原来世上的一切, 就如肉体的私欲, 眼目的私欲和今生的骄傲, 都不是出于父, 而是从世界来的.

2:17 And the world is passing away, and its desire, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.
这世界和世上的私欲都要渐渐过去, 但那遵行神旨意的却存到永远.

2:18 Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, by which we know that it is the last hour.
孩子们, 现在是末世的时候了. 你们听过敌基督者要来, 现在已经有不少敌基督起来了; 因此我们就知道这是末世的时候了.

2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But they went out, in order that it might be shown that all of them are not of us.
他们从我们中间离去, 这就表明他们是不属于我们的. 其实他们并不属于我们, 如果真的属于我们, 就一定会留在我们中间.

2:20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
你们从那圣者得着膏抹, 这是你们都知道的.

2:21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because every lie is not of the truth.
我写信给你们, 不是因为你们不明白真理, 而是因为你们明白, 又因为谎言绝不会出于真理的.

2:22 Who is the liar except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This person is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
那么, 谁是说谎的呢? 不就是那否认耶稣是基督的吗? 否认父和子的, 他就是敌基督的.

2:23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
凡否认子的, 就没有父; 承认子的, 连父也有了.

2:24 As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
至于你们, 总要把起初所听见的存记在你们心里; 你们若把起初所听见的存记在心里, 你们也就住在子和父里面了.

2:25 And this is the promise which he himself promised us: eternal life.
他应许给我们的, 就是永远的生命.

2:26 These things I have written to you concerning the ones who are trying to deceive you.
我把这些事写给你们, 是指着那些欺骗你们的人说的.

2:27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not have need that anyone teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you reside in him.
你们既然在你们里面有从主领受的膏抹, 就不需要别人教导你们了, 因为在一切事上有主的膏抹教导你们; 这膏抹是真的, 不是假的, 你们应该按着他所教导的住在他里面.

2:28 And now, little children, remain in him, so that whenever he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming.
孩子们, 你们要住在主里面. 这样, 他若显现, 我们就可以坦然无惧; 他来的时候, 我们也不至惭愧地躲避他了.

2:29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by him.
你们既然晓得神是公义的, 就应当知道所有行公义的都是从他生的.

I John - Chapter 3

3:1 See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called children of God, and we are! Because of this the world does not know us: because it did not know him.
你们看, 父赐给我们的是怎样的爱, 就是让我们可以称为神的儿女, 我们也真是他的儿女. 因此, 世人不认识我们, 是因为他们不认识父.

3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever he is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is.
亲爱的, 现在我们是神的儿女, 将来怎样, 还没有显明; 然而我们知道: 主若显现, 我们必要像他, 因为我们必要看见他本来是怎样的.

3:3 And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that one is pure.
凡对他存着这盼望的, 就洁净自己, 像他一样的洁净.

3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
凡是犯罪的, 就是作了不法的事; 罪就是不法.

3:5 And you know that that one was revealed in order that he might take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
你们知道主曾经显现, 为要除掉罪, 他自己却没有罪.

3:6 Everyone who resides in him does not sin. Everyone who sins has neither seen him nor known him.
凡是住在他里面的, 就不犯罪; 凡犯罪的, 是未曾见过他, 也不认识他.

3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous.
孩子们, 不要受人欺骗, 行义的才是义人, 正如主是公义的.

3:8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed: in order to destroy the works of the devil.
犯罪的是出于魔鬼, 因为魔鬼从起初就犯罪. 因此, 神的儿子显现了, 是要除灭魔鬼的作为.

3:9 Everyone who is fathered by God does not practice sin, because his seed resides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God.
凡是从神生的, 就不犯罪, 因为神的生命在他里面; 他也不能犯罪, 因为他是从神生的.

3:10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are evident: everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, namely, the one who does not love his brother.
这样, 谁是神的儿女, 谁是魔鬼的儿女, 就很明显了. 凡不行义的, 就不是出于神, 不爱弟兄的, 也是这样.

3:11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another,
我们应当彼此相爱, 因为这是你们从起初听见的信息.

3:12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one and violently murdered his brother. And for what reason did he violently murder him? Because his deeds were evil and the deeds of his brother were righteous.
不要像该隐, 他是属于那恶者的, 他又杀了自己的弟弟. 为什么杀他呢? 因为他自己的行为是恶的, 弟弟的行为是义的.

3:13 Do not marvel, brothers, if the world hates you.
弟兄们, 世人若恨你们, 不要希奇.

3:14 We know that we have passed over from death to life because we love the brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
我们因为爱弟兄, 就知道我们已经出死入生了; 不爱弟兄的, 仍然住在死中.

3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have eternal life residing in him.
凡恨弟兄的, 就是杀人的. 你们知道, 杀人的在他里面没有永生.

3:16 We have come to know love by this: that he laid down his life on behalf of us, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers.
主为我们舍命, 这样, 我们就知道什么是爱; 我们也应当为弟兄舍命.

3:17 But whoever has the world’s material possessions and observes his brother in need and shuts his heart against him, how does the love of God reside in him?
凡有世上财物的, 看见弟兄穷乏, 却硬着心肠不理, 他怎能说他心里有神的爱呢?

3:18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
孩子们, 我们爱人, 不要只在言语和舌头上, 总要在行动和真诚上表现出来.

3:19 By this we know that we are of the truth and will convince our heart before him,
这样, 我们就知道我们是属于真理的. 即使我们的心责备我们, 在神面前我们也可以心安理得, 因为他比我们的心大, 他知道一切.

3:20 that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
这样, 我们就知道我们是属于真理的. 即使我们的心责备我们, 在神面前我们也可以心安理得, 因为他比我们的心大, 他知道一切.

3:21 Dear friends, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
亲爱的, 我们的心若不责备我们, 在神面前我们就可以坦然无惧了.

3:22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing in his sight.
凡我们所求的, 就必从他得着, 因为我们遵守他的命令, 作他所喜悦的事.

3:23 And this is his commandment: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded us.
神的命令, 就是要我们信他的儿子耶稣基督的名, 并且照着他的吩咐彼此相爱.

3:24 And the one who keeps his commandments resides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he resides in us: by the Spirit whom he has given to us.
凡是遵守神命令的, 就住在神里面, 神也住在他里面. 凭着神所赐给我们的圣灵, 我们就可以知道神住在我们里面.

I John - Chapter 4

4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
亲爱的, 不要每个灵都信, 总要试验那些灵是否出于神, 因为有许多假先知已经来到世上了.

4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
你们可以这样认出神的灵: 凡是承认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的, 那灵就是出于神.

4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
凡是不承认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的, 那灵就不是出于神, 而是敌基督者的灵; 你们听过他要来, 现在他已经在世上了.

4:4 You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
孩子们, 你们是属于神的, 并且已经胜过他们, 因为那在你们里面的比那在世上的更大.

4:5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world and the world listens to them.
他们是属于世界的, 因此讲论属世的事, 世界也就听从他们.

4:6 We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.
我们是属于神的, 认识神的就听从我们, 不属于神的就不听从我们. 这样, 我们就可以辨别真理的灵和谬妄的灵了.

4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God.
亲爱的, 我们应当彼此相爱, 因为爱是从神那里来的. 凡是爱人的, 都是从神生的, 并且认识神.

4:8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
不爱人的, 就不认识神, 因为神就是爱.

4:9 By this the love of God is revealed in us: that God sent his one and only Son into the world in order that we may live through him.
神差遣他的独生子到世上来, 要使我们借着他而活; 神的爱就在我们中间显明了.

4:10 In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
不是我们爱神, 而是神爱我们, 差遣他的儿子为我们的罪作了赎罪祭, 这就是爱了.

4:11 Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
亲爱的, 神既然这样爱我们, 我们也应当彼此相爱.

4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God resides in us and his love is perfected in us.
从来没有人见过神, 我们若彼此相爱, 神就住在我们里面, 他的爱也在我们里面得到成全了.

4:13 By this we know that we reside in him and he in us: that he has given us of his Spirit.
神把他的灵赐给我们, 我们就知道我们是住在他里面, 他也住在我们里面.

4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
父差遣子作世人的救主, 这是我们见过的, 并且现在作见证.

4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God.
凡承认耶稣是神的儿子的, 神就住在他里面, 他也住在神里面.

4:16 And we have come to know and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who resides in love resides in God, and God resides in him.
神对我们的爱, 我们已经明白了, 而且相信了. 神就是爱; 住在爱里面的, 就住在神里面, 神也住在他里面.

4:17 By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as that one is, so also are we in this world.
这样, 爱在我们里面就得到成全, 使我们在审判的日子, 可以坦然无惧. 因为他怎样, 我们在这世上也怎样.

4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear includes punishment, and the one who is afraid has not been perfected in love.
爱里没有惧怕, 完全的爱可以把惧怕驱除, 因为惧怕含有刑罚, 惧怕的人在爱里还没有完全.

4:19 We love, because he first loved us.
我们爱, 因为神先爱我们.

4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar, for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen is not able to love God whom he has not seen.
人若说“我爱神”, 却恨他的弟兄, 就是说谎的. 不爱看得见的弟兄, 就不能爱看不见的神.

4:21 And this is the commandment we have from him: that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
爱神的, 也应当爱弟兄, 这就是我们从神领受的命令.

I John - Chapter 5

5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been fathered by God, and everyone who loves the father also loves the child fathered by him.
凡信耶稣是基督的, 都是从神生的, 凡爱那生他的, 也必爱那从他而生的.

5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God and keep his commandments.
我们若爱神, 并且遵行他的命令, 就知道我们是爱神的儿女了.

5:3 For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,
我们遵守神的命令, 就是爱他了; 而且他的命令是不难遵守的,

5:4 because everyone who is fathered by God conquers the world. And this is the victory which has conquered the world: our faith.
因为凡从神生的就胜过世界. 使我们胜过世界的, 就是我们的信心.

5:5 Now who is the one who conquers the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
胜过世界的是谁呢? 不就是那信耶稣是神的儿子的吗?

5:6 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ, not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
那借着水和血来的就是耶稣基督, 不是单用水, 而是用水又用血; 作见证的是圣灵, 因为圣灵就是真理.

5:7 For there are three that testify,
原来作见证的有三样,

5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in agreement.
就是圣灵,水和血, 这三样是一致的.

5:9 If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that he has testified concerning his Son.
我们若接受人的见证, 神的见证就更强而有力了, 因为这是神为他的儿子作的见证.

5:10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)
信神的儿子的, 就有这见证在他心里; 不信神的, 就是把神当作说谎的, 因为他不信神为他儿子所作的见证.

5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
这见证就是神已经把永远的生命赐给我们, 这生命是在他儿子里面的.

5:12 The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
凡有神儿子的, 就有生命; 没有神儿子的, 就没有生命.

5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.
我把这些事写给你们信神的儿子之名的人, 是要你们知道自己有永生.

5:14 And this is the confidence that we have before him: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
如果我们照着神的旨意祈求, 他必听我们; 这就是我们对神所存的坦然无惧的心.

5:15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.
既然他听我们的祈求, 我们就知道, 我们无论求什么, 他必赐给我们.

5:16 If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he should ask, and he will grant life to him, to those who sin not leading to death. (There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should ask about that.
如果有人看见弟兄犯了不至于死的罪, 他就要祈求, 神必因他的缘故, 把生命赐给那些犯了不至于死的罪的人; 有至于死的罪, 我不说他应当为那罪祈求.

5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.)
一切不义都是罪, 但也有不至于死的罪.

5:18 We know that everyone who is fathered by God does not sin, but the one fathered by God, he protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
我们知道凡从神生的就不犯罪, 而且从神生的那一位也必保守他, 连那恶者也不能碰他.

5:19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
我们知道我们是属于神的, 而整个世界是伏在那恶者手下.

5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, in order that we may know the one who is true, and we are in the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life.
我们知道神的儿子已经来了, 并且赐给我们悟性, 使我们能认识那位真实者. 我们也在那位真实者里面, 就是在他儿子耶稣基督里面. 这一位就是真神, 也是永远的生命.

5:21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
孩子们, 你们要保守自己远离偶像.

II John (约翰二书)

II John - Chapter 1

1:1 The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I alone, but also all those who know the truth—
我这作长老的, 写信给蒙拣选的夫人和她的儿女. 你们是我在真理中所爱的; 不单是我, 凡认识真理的,

1:2 because of the truth that resides in us and will be with us forever.
也因为真理的缘故爱你们. 这真理在我们里面, 也必与我们同在, 直到永远.

1:3 Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.
愿恩惠,怜悯,平安, 从父神和他儿子耶稣基督在真理和爱中与我们同在.

1:4 I was very glad because I found some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
我看见你的儿女中, 有人照着我们从父领受的命令在真理中行事, 我就非常欣慰.

1:5 And now I ask you, lady (not as if I were writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have had from the beginning), that we should love one another.
夫人哪, 我现在请求你, 我们要彼此相爱. 我写给你的, 不是一条新命令, 而是我们从起初就有的.

1:6 And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
我们要照着他的命令行事, 这就是爱. 你们从起初所听见的那命令, 就是要你们凭着爱心行事.

1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in the flesh. This person is the deceiver and the antichrist!
有许多欺骗人的已经在世上出现, 他们否认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的; 这就是那骗人的和敌基督的.

1:8 Watch yourselves that you do not lose what we have worked for, but receive a full reward.
你们要小心, 不要拆毁我们已经完成的工作, 却要得着美满的赏赐.

1:9 Everyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in the teaching—this person has both the Father and the Son.
凡越过基督的教训又不持守的, 就没有神; 持守这教训的, 就有父和子了.

1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house and do not speak a greeting to him,
如果有人到你们那里, 不传这教训, 你们就不要接待他到家里, 也不要问候他;

1:11 because the one who speaks a greeting to him shares in his evil deeds.
因为问候他的, 就在他的恶事上有分了.

1:12 Although I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so by means of paper and ink, but I hope to be with you and to speak face to face, so that your joy may be complete.
我还有许多话要写给你们, 可是我不想借用纸墨, 只是盼望到你们那里当面谈谈, 好让我们的喜乐充足.

1:13 The children of your elect sister greet you.
你那蒙拣选的姊妹的儿女都问候你.

III John (约翰三书)

III John - Chapter 1

1:1 The elder, to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in the truth.
我这作长老的写信给亲爱的该犹, 就是我在真理中所爱的.

1:2 Dear friend, I pray you may prosper concerning everything and be healthy, just as your soul prospers.
亲爱的, 我祝你凡事亨通, 身体健壮, 正如你的灵魂安泰一样.

1:3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are walking in the truth.
有些弟兄来到, 证实你心中存有真理, 就是你按真理行事, 我就非常欣慰.

1:4 I have no greater joy than this: that I hear my children are walking in the truth.
我听见我的儿女按真理行事, 我的喜乐没有比这更大的了.

1:5 Dear friend, you act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, even though they are strangers.
亲爱的, 你向弟兄所行的, 特别是向外地来的弟兄所行的, 都是出于忠心.

1:6 They have testified to your love before the church; you will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
他们在教会面前证实了你的爱; 你照着神所喜悦的, 资助他们的旅程, 这样是好的.

1:7 For they have gone out on behalf of the name, accepting nothing from the pagans.
因为他们为主的名出外, 并没有从教外人接受什么.

1:8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we become fellow workers with the truth.
所以我们应当接待这样的人, 好让我们为了真理成为同工.

1:9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who wants to be first among them, does not acknowledge us.
我曾经略略写信给你那里的教会, 但他们中间那好作领袖的丢特腓不接待我们.

1:10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to the deeds he is doing, disparaging us with evil words. And not being content with these, he does not receive the brothers himself, and he hinders those wanting to do so and throws them out of the church.
因此, 我来的时候, 必要提起他所作的事, 就是他用恶言中伤我们; 这还不够, 他不但不接待弟兄, 还要阻止那些想要接待的人, 甚至把他们赶出教会.

1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
亲爱的, 不要效法恶, 应该效法善. 行善的属于神, 作恶的没有见过神.

1:12 Demetrius has been testified to by all, even by the truth itself. And we also testify to him, and you know that our testimony is true.
低米丢行善, 有众人为他作证, 真理本身也为他作证. 我们也为他作证, 你知道我们的见证是真的.

1:13 I have many things to write to you, but I do not want to write to you by means of ink and pen.
我还有许多话要写给你, 可是我不愿借用笔墨.

1:14 But I hope to see you right away, and to speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
我盼望很快就见到你, 当面谈谈.

Jude (犹大书)

Jude - Chapter 1

1:1 Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.
耶稣基督的仆人, 雅各的兄弟犹大, 写信给那些被召的人, 就是在父神里蒙爱, 并且为了耶稣基督而蒙保守的人.

1:2 May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
愿怜悯,平安,慈爱多多加给你们.

1:3 Dear friends, although I was making every effort to write to you concerning our common salvation, I considered it a necessity to write to you to encourage you to contend for the faith delivered once and for all to the saints.
亲爱的, 我曾经迫切地想写信给你们, 论到我们共享的救恩; 现在我更觉得必须写信劝勉你们, 要竭力维护从前一次就全交给了圣徒的信仰,

1:4 For certain men have slipped in stealthily, who were designated long ago for this condemnation, ungodly ones, who change the grace of our God into licentiousness and who deny our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
因为有人已经混进你们中间, 他们就是早被判定受刑的不敬虔的人. 这些人把我们神的恩典当作放纵情欲的借口, 并且否认独一的主宰我们的主耶稣基督.

1:5 Now I want to remind you, although you know everything once and for all, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, the second time destroyed those who did not believe.
虽然这一切事情你们都早已知道, 我仍然要提醒你们: 从前主从埃及地把人民救出来, 跟着就把那些不信的人除灭了.

1:6 And the angels who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling place, he has kept in eternal bonds under deep gloom for the judgment of the great day,
还有, 那不守本位擅离自己居所的天使, 主用永远的锁链把他们拘留在黑暗里, 直到那大日子的审判.

1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns around them indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire in the same way as these, are exhibited as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.
又像所多玛,蛾摩拉和周围城市的人, 与他们一样的淫乱, 随从反常的情欲, 以致遭受永火的刑罚, 成了后世的鉴戒.

1:8 Despite that, in the same way also these men, because of their dreams, defile the flesh and reject authority and blaspheme majestic beings.
虽然是这样, 这些醉生梦死的人还是照样玷污身体, 藐视主权, 毁谤尊荣.

1:9 But Michael the archangel, when he argued with the devil, disputing concerning the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
天使长米迦勒为了摩西的尸体与魔鬼争论的时候, 还不敢用毁谤的话定他的罪, 只说: “主责备你! ”

1:10 But these persons blaspheme all that they do not understand, and all that they understand by instinct like the irrational animals, by these things they are being destroyed.
但这些人毁谤他们所不知道的, 他们只知道按本性所能领悟的事, 好像没有理性的禽兽, 就因这些事败坏了自己.

1:11 Woe to them! For they have traveled in the way of Cain, and have given themselves up to the error of Balaam for gain, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
他们有祸了, 因为他们走上了该隐的道路, 又为了财利闯进巴兰的歧途, 并且在可拉的背叛中灭亡了.

1:12 These are the ones feasting together without reverence, hidden reefs at your love feasts, caring for themselves, waterless clouds carried away by winds, late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted,
这些人胆敢与你们同席, 他们只顾喂饱自己, 是你们爱筵中的暗礁; 是无雨的浮云, 随风飘荡; 是秋天不结果子的树, 连根拔起, 死而又死;

1:13 wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shameful deeds, wandering stars, for whom the deep gloom of darkness has been reserved for eternity.
是海中的狂浪, 溅起了自己可耻的泡沫; 是流荡的星, 有漆黑的幽暗永远为他们存留.

1:14 And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about these people, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with tens of thousands of his holy ones
亚当的第七世孙以诺, 也曾经预言这些人说: “看, 主必同他的千万圣者降临,

1:15 to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly deeds that they have committed in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
要审判众人, 又要定所有不敬虔的人的罪, 因为他们妄行各样不敬虔的事, 并且说了种种刚愎的话顶撞神. ”

1:16 These people are grumblers, discontented, proceeding according to their desires, and their mouths speaking pompous words, showing partiality to gain an advantage.
这些人常发牢骚, 怨天尤人, 顺着自己的私欲行事, 口说夸张的话, 为了利益就不惜阿谀奉承.

1:17 But you, dear friends, remember the words proclaimed beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
但你们呢, 亲爱的, 你们要记住我们主耶稣基督的使徒从前所说的话.

1:18 for they said to you, “In the end time there will be scoffers following according to their own ungodly desires.”
他们曾经对你们说: “末世必有好讥笑人的人, 随着自己不敬虔的私欲行事. ”

1:19 These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly, not having the Spirit.
这些人分党结派, 是属血气的, 没有圣灵.

1:20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit,
但你们呢, 亲爱的, 你们要在至圣的信仰上建立自己, 在圣灵里祷告,

1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
要保守自己在神的爱中, 仰望我们主耶稣基督的怜悯, 直到永生.

1:22 And have mercy on those who doubt,
有些人心里疑惑, 你们要怜悯他们;

1:23 and save others by snatching them from the fire, and have mercy on others with fear, hating even the tunic stained by the flesh.
有些人你们要拯救, 把他们从火中抢救出来; 又有些人你们要战战兢兢地怜悯他们, 连染上情欲污渍的衣服也应当憎恶.

1:24 Now to the one who is able to protect you from stumbling and make you to stand before his glory blameless with exultation,
愿荣耀,威严,能力,权柄, 借着我们的主耶稣基督, 从万世以前, 及现在, 直到永永远远, 归给独一的神我们的救主. 他能保守你们不至跌倒, 使你们毫无瑕疵, 欣然站在他荣光之前. 阿们.

1:25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and now and for all eternity. Amen.
愿荣耀,威严,能力,权柄, 借着我们的主耶稣基督, 从万世以前, 及现在, 直到永永远远, 归给独一的神我们的救主. 他能保守你们不至跌倒, 使你们毫无瑕疵, 欣然站在他荣光之前. 阿们.

约翰写信给在亚西亚的七个教会. 愿恩惠平安, 从那位今在,昔在,以后永在的神, 从他宝座前的七灵,

1:5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and released us from our sins by his blood
又从那信实的见证人,死人中首先复生的,地上众君王的统治者耶稣基督临到你们. 他爱我们, 用自己的血把我们从我们的罪中释放出来,

1:6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
又使我们成为国度, 作他父神的祭司. 愿荣耀权能都归给他, 直到永永远远. 阿们.

1:7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even every one who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Yes, amen.
看哪, 他驾着云降临, 每一个人都要看见他, 连那些刺过他的人也要看见他, 地上的万族都要因他捶胸. 这是必定的, 阿们.

主神说: “我是阿拉法, 我是俄梅格; 我是今在,昔在,以后永在, 全能的神. ”

我约翰, 就是你们的弟兄, 在耶稣里跟你们一同分享患难,国度和忍耐的, 为了神的道和耶稣的见证, 曾经在那名叫拔摩的海岛上.

1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great sound like a trumpet
有一个主日, 我在灵里, 听见在我后边有一个大声音, 好像号筒的响声,

1:11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
说: “你所看见的, 要写在书上, 也要寄给以弗所,士每拿,别迦摩,推雅推拉,撒狄,非拉铁非,老底嘉七个教会. ”

1:12 And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands,
我转过身来要看看那跟我说话的声音是谁发的; 一转过来, 就看见七个金灯台.

1:13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching to the feet and girded around his chest with a golden belt,
灯台中间有一位好像人子的, 身上穿着直垂到脚的长衣, 胸间束着金带.

1:14 and his head and hair were white like wool, white as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame,
他的头和头发像白羊毛,像雪一样洁白, 他的眼睛好像火焰,

1:15 and his feet were like fine bronze when it has been fired in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters,
他的两脚好像在炉中精炼过的发光的铜, 他的声音好像众水的声音.

1:16 and he had in his right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword coming out of his mouth, and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.
他的右手拿着七星, 有一把两刃的利剑从他口中吐出来; 他的脸发光好像正午的烈日.

1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead person, and he placed his right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last,
我看见了他, 就仆倒在他脚前, 像死了一样. 他用右手按着我, 说: “不要怕! 我是首先的, 我是末后的,

1:18 and the one who lives, and I was dead, and behold, I am living forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and of Hades.
又是永活的; 我曾经死过, 看哪, 现在又活着, 直活到永永远远, 并且拿着死亡和阴间的钥匙.

1:19 Therefore, write the things which you saw, and the things which are, and the things which are about to take place after these things.
所以, 你要把所看见的, 现在的, 和今后将要发生的事都写下来.

1:20 As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands—the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
你所看见在我右手中的七星和七个金灯台的奥秘就是这样: 七星是七个教会的使者, 七灯台是七个教会. ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 2

2:1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: “This is what the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand says, the one who walks in the midst of the seven gold lampstands:
“你要写信给在以弗所教会的使者, 说: ‘那右手拿着七星, 在七个金灯台中间行走的, 这样说:

2:2 ‘I know your works, and your labor and patient endurance, and that you are not able to tolerate evil, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you found them to be false.
我知道你的行为,你的劳苦,你的忍耐, 也知道你不能容忍恶人. 你也曾经试验那些自称是使徒, 而其实不是使徒的人, 看出他们是假的.

2:3 And you have patient endurance, and have endured many things because of my name, and have not become weary.
你有忍耐, 曾为我的名的缘故忍受一切, 并不困倦.

2:4 But I have this against you: that you have left your first love.
然而有一件事我要责备你, 就是你已经离弃了你起初的爱.

2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the works you did at first. But if you do not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
所以, 你应当回想你是从哪里坠落的, 并且要悔改, 作起初所作的事. 你若不悔改, 我就要来到你那里, 把你的灯台从原处移去.

2:6 But you do have this: that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, things which I also hate.
不过你有这一个优点, 就是你恨恶尼哥拉党的作为, 那也是我所恨恶的.

2:7 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will grant to him to eat from the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 有耳的就应当听. 得胜的, 我必定把神乐园里生命树的果子赐给他吃. ’

2:8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: “This is what the first and the last says, who was dead and came to life:
“你要写信给在士每拿教会的使者, 说: ‘那首先的,末后的,曾经死去而又活过来的, 这样说:

2:9 ‘I know your affliction and poverty (but you are rich), and the slander of those who call themselves Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
我知道你的患难和贫穷, 但你却是富足的. 我也知道那些自称是犹太人所说毁谤的话, 其实他们不是犹太人, 而是撒但的党徒.

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and you will experience affliction ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
你不要怕你将要受的苦. 看哪! 魔鬼将要把你们中间几个人下在监里, 叫你们受试炼, 你们要受患难十天. 你要忠心至死, 我就把那生命的冠冕赐给你.

2:11 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 有耳的就应当听. 得胜的, 决不会受第二次死的害. ’

2:12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: “This is what the one who has the sharp double-edged sword says:
“你要写信给在别迦摩教会的使者, 说: ‘那有一把两刃利剑的, 这样说:

2:13 ‘I know where you live, where the throne of Satan is. And you hold fast to my name and did not deny your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan lives.
我知道你居住的地方, 就是撒但王座所在的地方. 当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们那里, 就是在撒但居住的地方被杀的那些日子, 你还持守我的名, 没有否认对我的信仰.

2:14 But I have a few things against you: that you have there those who hold fast to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
然而有几件事我要责备你, 因为在你那里有些人持守巴兰的教训. 这巴兰曾经教导巴勒把绊脚石放在以色列人面前, 叫他们吃祭过偶像的食物, 并且行淫乱.

2:15 So likewise you also have those who hold fast to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
同样, 你也有些人持守尼哥拉党的教训.

2:16 Therefore repent! But if you do not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword from my mouth.
所以, 你应当悔改; 如果不悔改, 我就很快地来到你们那里, 用我口中的剑跟他们作战.

2:17 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give to him some of the hidden manna, and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 有耳的就应当听. 得胜的, 我必定把那隐藏的吗哪赐给他, 并且赐他一块白石, 石上写着新的名字, 这名字除了那领受的人以外, 是没有人能知道的. ’

2:18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: “This is what the Son of God says, the one who has his eyes like a fiery flame and his feet like fine bronze:
“你要写信给在推雅推拉教会的使者, 说: ‘神的儿子, 那眼睛像火焰,两脚像光铜的, 这样说:

2:19 ‘I know your works, and your love, and faith, and service, and patient endurance—and your last works are greater than the first.
我知道你的行为, 你的爱心,信心,服侍和忍耐, 也知道你后来所作的比先前的还要多.

2:20 But I have against you that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, the one who calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and deceives my slaves to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
然而有一件事我要责备你, 就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别, 教导和引诱我的众仆人行淫乱, 吃祭过偶像的食物.

2:21 And I have given her time in order to repent, and she did not want to repent from her sexual immorality.
我曾给她时间, 让她悔改, 她却不肯为她的淫行悔改.

2:22 Behold, I am throwing her into a sickbed and those who committed adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent from her deeds.
看哪, 我要把她拋在大患难的床上; 那些跟她行淫乱的人, 如果不为她的行为悔改, 我也要把他们拋在大患难中.

2:23 And I will kill her children with deadly disease, and all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
我必以死亡击杀她的儿女; 众教会就都知道我是察验人肺腑心肠的, 我要照着你们的行为报应你们各人.

2:24 But I say to you, to the rest who are in Thyatira, all those who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they say, I do not put upon you any other burden.
至于你们其余在推雅推拉的人, 就是不跟从那教训, 不认识所谓撒但深奥的事的人, 我告诉你们, 我不会把别的重担放在你们身上.

2:25 Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
不过, 你们要持守已经得着的, 直到我来.

2:26 And the one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations,
得胜的, 又遵守我的旨意到底的, 我必把统治列国的权柄赐给他,

2:27 and “he will shepherd them with an iron rod; he will break them in pieces like jars made of clay,”
他必用铁杖治理他们, 好像打碎陶器一样粉碎他们, (“我必把......粉碎他们”引自诗 2:8-9)

2:28 as I also have received from my Father, and I will give him the morning star.
好像我从父领受了权柄一样; 我还要把晨星赐给他.

“你要写信给在撒狄教会的使者, 说: ‘那有神七灵和七星的这样说: 我知道你的行为, 你有名声, 说你是活着的, 其实你是死的.

3:2 Be on the alert and strengthen the remaining things that are about to die, for I have not found your works completed before my God.
你要警醒, 把那些剩下来将要死的坚强起来; 因为我见你的行为在我神面前是不完全的.

3:3 Therefore remember how you have received and heard, and observe it, and repent. If therefore you are not on the alert, I will come like a thief, and you will never know at what hour I will come against you.
所以, 你应当回想你是怎样领受,怎样听见的; 应该遵守, 也应该悔改. 你若不警醒, 我就要像贼来到一样. 我什么时候来到你那里, 你决不能知道.

3:4 But you have a few people in Sardis who have not defiled their clothing, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
然而在撒狄你还有几名是未曾玷污自己衣服的, 他们要身穿白衣与我同行; 因为他们是配得上的.

3:5 The one who conquers in this way will be dressed in white clothing, and I will never erase his name from the book of life, and I will declare his name before my Father and before his angels.

3:8 ‘I know your works (behold, I have put before you an opened door that no one is able to shut) that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and did not deny my name.
我知道你的行为, 看哪! 我已经在你面前给你一道开着的门, 是没有人能关的; 因为你有一点点力量, 也遵守我的道, 没有否认我的名.

3:9 Behold, I am causing those of the synagogue of Satan, the ones who call themselves Jews and are not, but are lying—behold, I will make them come and kneel down before your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
看哪! 从撒但的一党, 就是自称是犹太人, 其实不是犹太人, 而是说谎的人中, 我要使他们一些人来在你脚前下拜, 并且知道我已经爱了你.

3:10 Because you have kept the word of my patient endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole inhabited world, to put to the test those who live on the earth.
你既然遵守了我忍耐的道, 我也必定保守你脱离那试炼的时候; 这就是那将要临到普天下, 来试炼住在地上的人的时候.

3:15 ‘I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!

3:17 Because you are saying, “I am rich, and have become rich, and I have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked,
你说: 我是富足的, 已经发了财, 毫无缺乏. 却不知你是困苦的,可怜的,贫穷的,瞎眼的,赤身的.

Revelation of John - Chapter 4

4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, an open door in heaven, and the former voice that I had heard like a trumpet speaking with me was saying, “Come up here and I will show you the things which must take place after these things.”
这些事以后, 我观看, 见天上有一道门开着; 并且有我第一次听见的那个好像号筒的声音, 对我说: “你上这里来! 我要把以后必定发生的事指示你. ”

4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one was seated on the throne.
立刻, 我在灵里, 就看见有一个宝座, 设立在天上, 有一位坐在宝座上.

4:3 And the one seated was similar in appearance to jasper and carnelian stone, and a rainbow was around the throne similar in appearance to emerald.
那位坐着的, 看来好像碧玉和红宝石, 又有彩虹围绕着宝座, 看来好像绿宝石.

宝座的周围有二十四个座位, 上面坐着二十四位长老, 身穿白衣, 头戴金冠.

4:5 And from the throne came out lightnings and sounds and thunders, and seven torches of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
有闪电,响声,雷轰从宝座中发出; 又有七枝火炬在宝座前点着, 这就是神的七灵.

4:6 And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal, and in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
宝座前有一个看来好像水晶的玻璃海. 在宝座中间和宝座周围有四个活物, 前后布满了眼睛.

第一个活物像狮子, 第二个活物像牛犊, 第三个活物的脸面像人, 第四个活物像飞鹰.

4:8 And the four living creatures, each one of them, had six wings apiece, full of eyes around and inside, and they do not have rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God All-Powerful, the one who was and the one who is and the one who is coming!”
四个活物各有六个翅膀, 里外布满了眼睛. 他们昼夜不停地说: “圣哉! 圣哉! 圣哉! 主,全能的神, 昔在,今在,以后永在的那一位. ”

4:9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever,
每逢四个活物把荣耀,尊贵,感谢献给那坐在宝座上, 活到永永远远的那一位的时候,

4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who is seated on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and put down their crowns before the throne, saying,
二十四位长老就俯伏在坐在宝座上那一位的面前, 敬拜那活到永永远远的, 又把他们的冠冕放在宝座前, 说:

4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, because you have created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.”
“主,我们的神, 你是配得荣耀,尊贵,权能的, 因为你创造了万有, 万有都是因着你的旨意而存在, 而被造的. ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 5

5:1 And I saw in the right hand of the one who is seated on the throne a scroll, written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
我看见那位坐在宝座上的, 右手拿着书卷, 这书卷的两面都写满了字, 用七个印封着.

长老中有一位对我说: “不要哭! 看哪, 那从犹大支派出来的狮子, 大卫的根, 他已经得胜了, 他能够展开那书卷, 拆开它的七印. ”

5:6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing as though slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.
我又看见在宝座和四个活物中间, 并且在众长老中间, 有羊羔站着, 像是被杀过的. 他有七角七眼, 就是神的七灵, 奉差遣到全地去的.

5:7 And he came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne.
羊羔走过去, 从坐在宝座上那位的右手中取了书卷.

他拿了书卷之后, 四个活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羊羔面前, 各拿着琴和盛满了香的金炉, 这香就是众圣徒的祈祷.

5:9 And they were singing a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered, and bought people for God by your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation,
他们唱着新歌, 说: “你配取书卷, 配拆开封印, 因为你曾被杀, 曾用你的血, 从各支派,各方言,各民族,各邦国, 把人买了来归给神,

5:10 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
使他们成为我们神的国度和祭司, 他们要在地上执掌王权. ”

5:11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and of the living creatures and of the elders, and their number was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands times thousands,
我又观看, 听见了千千万万天使的声音, 他们都在宝座,活物和长老的四周,

5:12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
大声说: “被杀的羊羔是配得权能,丰富,智慧,力量,尊贵,荣耀,颂赞的! ”

我又听见在天上,地上,地底下和海里的一切被造之物, 以及天地间的万有, 都说: “愿颂赞,尊贵,荣耀,能力, 都归给坐在宝座上的那一位和羊羔, 直到永永远远! ”

四个活物就说: “阿们! ”众长老也俯伏敬拜.

羊羔揭开了第五个印的时候, 我看见祭坛底下, 有为了神的道, 并且为了自己所作的见证而被杀的人的灵魂.

他们大声喊叫, 说: “圣洁真实的主啊! 你不审判住在地上的人, 给我们伸流血的冤, 要到几时呢? ”

6:11 And to each one of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they should rest yet a short time, until the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as they had been were completed also.
于是有白袍赐给他们各人, 又有话吩咐他们要安息一会儿, 等到那些与他们同作仆人和弟兄, 像他们一样将要被杀的人, 凑满了数目的时候.

地上的君王,大臣,军长,财主,勇士和所有作奴隶的,自由的, 都藏在山洞和岩穴里.

第一位天使吹号, 就有冰雹和混杂着血的火, 投在地上. 地的三分之一烧掉了, 树的三分之一烧掉了, 所有的青草也烧掉了.

8:8 And the second angel blew the trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood,
第二位天使吹号, 就有一座好像燃烧着的大山, 投在海里. 海的三分之一变成了血,

8:9 and a third of the creatures in the sea—the ones which had life—died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

这星名叫“苦堇”. 众水的三分之一变为“苦堇”, 因水变苦, 就有许多人死了.

8:12 And the fourth angel blew the trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened, and the day did not shine with respect to a third of it, and the night likewise.
第四位天使吹号, 太阳的三分之一,月亮的三分之一,星辰的三分之一, 就都受到击打, 以致日月星的三分之一都变黑了, 白天的三分之一没有光, 夜晚也是这样.

我观看, 就听见一只在高空飞翔的鹰, 大声说: “有祸了! 有祸了! 住在地上的人有祸了! 因为还有三位天使将要吹其余的号. ”

9:1 And the fifth angel blew the trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth, and the key of the shaft of the abyss was given to him.
第五位天使吹号, 我就看见一颗星从天上落到地上, 有无底坑的钥匙赐给它.

9:2 And he opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke went up from the shaft like smoke from a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft.
它开了无底坑, 就有烟从坑里冒出来, 好像大火炉的烟, 太阳和天空因这坑的烟就都变黑了.

9:3 And out of the smoke locusts came to the earth, and power was given to them like the scorpions of the earth have power.
有蝗虫从烟里出来到了地上; 有能力赐给它们, 好像地上蝎子的能力一样.

9:4 And it was told to them that they should not damage the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, except those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
有话吩咐它们, 不可伤害地上的草, 和所有青翠的东西, 以及所有的树木, 只可伤害那些额上没有神印记的人.

9:5 And it was granted to them that they should not kill them, but that they would be tormented five months, and their torment is like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a person.
蝗虫没有能力杀死他们, 只可使他们受痛苦五个月. 他们的痛苦就像人给蝎子螫了的痛苦一样.

9:6 And in those days people will seek death and will never find it, and they will long to die, and death will flee from them.
在那些日子, 人要求死, 却决不得死; 切愿要死, 死却远离他们.

9:7 And the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads were something like crowns similar in appearance to gold, and their faces were like men’s faces,

9:11 They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

第一样灾祸过去了. 看哪, 以后还有两样灾祸要来!

9:13 And the sixth angel blew the trumpet, and I heard one voice from the horns of the golden altar that is before God
第六位天使吹号, 我听见有一个声音从神面前金坛的四角发出来,

9:14 saying to the sixth angel, the one who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who have been bound at the great river Euphrates!”
对拿着号筒的第六位天使说: “把捆绑在幼发拉底大河的那四个使者放了吧! ”

那四个使者就被释放了, 他们已经预备好, 要在某年某月某日某时杀害人类的三分之一.

9:16 And the number of the troops of the cavalry was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
马兵的数目有二万万; 他们这个数目我听见了.

9:17 And in this way I saw the horses in the vision, and those seated on them, who had fiery red and hyacinth-colored and sulphurous yellow breastplates, and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.
在异象中, 我看见那些马和骑马的是这样: 骑马的穿着火红紫青和硫磺色的胸甲, 马的头好像狮子头, 有火,烟和硫磺从马的口中喷出来.

9:18 By these three plagues a third of humanity was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.
马口中喷出来的火,烟和硫磺这三种灾害, 杀死了人类的三分之一.

9:19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are similar in appearance to snakes, having heads, and with them they cause injury.
马的能力是在口中和尾巴上. 它们的尾巴像蛇, 并且有头用来伤人.

9:20 And the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, in order not to worship the demons and the gold and silver and bronze and stone and wooden idols, which are able neither to see nor to hear nor to walk,
其余没有在这些灾难中被杀的人, 仍然不为他们手所作的悔改, 还是去拜鬼魔和那些金,银,铜,石头,木头做的, 不能看,不能听,也不能走路的偶像.

9:21 and they did not repent of their murders or of their magic spells or of their sexual immorality or of their thefts.
他们也不为自己的凶杀,邪术,淫乱和偷盗悔改.

我就走到天使那里, 请他把小书卷给我. 他对我说: “你拿着, 吃下去. 它必使你肚子苦涩, 但是口里却好像蜜一样甘甜. ”

我把小书卷从天使手中拿过来, 吃了, 在口里果然甘甜如蜜; 但是吃完之后, 我肚子就觉得苦涩.

12:1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars,
那时, 天上出现了一个奇伟的景象: 有一个妇人, 身披太阳, 脚踏月亮, 头戴十二颗星的冠冕.

12:8 And they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven.
龙却抵挡不住, 天上再也没有它们的地方了.

12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
于是那大龙被摔了下来. 它就是那古蛇, 名叫魔鬼, 又叫撒但, 是迷惑普天下的人的. 它被摔在地上, 它的天使也跟它一同被摔了下来.

12:10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night.
我又听见天上有大声音说: “我们神的救恩,能力,国度和他所立的基督的权柄, 现在都已经来到了! 因为那昼夜在我们神面前控告我们弟兄的控告者, 已经被摔下来了!

12:11 And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives until death.
弟兄胜过它, 是因着羊羔的血, 也因着自己所见证的道, 他们虽然至死, 也不爱惜自己的性命.

12:12 Because of this, rejoice, you heavens, and those who live in them! Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great anger, because he knows that he has little time!”
所以, 众天和住在其中的, 你们都欢乐吧! 可是地和海有祸了! 因为魔鬼知道自己的时日无多, 就大大发怒下到你们那里去了. ”

于是有大鹰的两个翅膀赐给了那妇人, 使她可以飞到旷野, 到自己的地方, 在那里得供养一年两年半年, 离开那蛇的面.

12:15 And from his mouth the serpent spouted water like a river after the woman, in order that he could make her swept away by a river.
蛇在妇人后面, 从口中吐出水来, 好像江河一样, 要把妇人冲去.

12:16 And the earth came to the aid of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had spouted out of his mouth.
地却帮助了那妇人, 张开口, 把从龙口中吐出来的河水吞了.

因为龙把权柄交给了兽, 大家就拜龙, 也拜兽, 说: “有谁可以跟这兽相比? 有谁能与它作战呢? ”

13:5 And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies, and authority to act was given to him for forty-two months.
龙又给了那兽一张说夸大和亵渎话的嘴巴, 也给了它权柄可以任意而行四十二个月.

13:6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies toward God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling, those who live in heaven.
兽就开口向神说亵渎的话, 亵渎他的名和他的帐幕, 以及那些住在天上的.

所有住在地上的人, 名字没有记在创世以来被杀的羊羔之生命册上的, 都要拜它.

13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear!
凡有耳的, 就应当听!

13:10 If anyone is going into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone is to be killed by the sword, by the sword he is to be killed. Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.
如果人应该被俘掳, 就必被俘掳; 如果人应该被刀杀, 就必被刀杀. 在这里圣徒要有忍耐和信心!

它在头一只兽面前, 行使头一只兽的一切权柄. 它使全地和住在地上的人, 都拜那受过致命伤而医好了的头一只兽.

又有能力赐给它, 可以把气息给兽像, 使兽像能够说话, 并且能够杀害那些不拜兽像的人.

13:16 And he causes all people, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, that they give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
那从地里上来的兽, 又要所有的人, 无论大小贫富, 自由的和作奴隶的, 都在右手或额上, 给自己作个记号.

13:17 and that no one was able to buy or to sell except the one who had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of his name.
这记号就是兽的名字或兽名的数字, 除了那有记号的, 谁也不能买, 谁也不能卖.

13:18 Here is wisdom: the one who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number, and his number is six hundred sixty-six.
在这里要有智慧. 有悟性的人, 就让他计算兽的数字, 因为这是人的数字, 它的数字是六百六十六.

我听见有声音从天上来, 好像众水的声音, 好像大雷的声音; 我所听见的声音, 又像琴师弹奏的琴声.

他们在宝座前, 在四个活物和众长老面前唱新歌; 除了从地上买来的那十四万四千人以外, 没有人能学这歌.

14:4 These are those who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were bought from humanity as first fruits to God and to the Lamb,
这些人没有跟妇女在一起而使自己玷污, 他们原是童身的. 羊羔无论到哪里去, 他们都跟随他. 这些人是从世人中买来的, 作初熟的果子归给神和羊羔.

14:5 and in their mouth a lie was not found; they are blameless.

他大声说: “应当敬畏神, 把荣耀归给他! 因为他审判的时候到了, 应当敬拜创造天,地,海和众水泉源的那一位! ”

又有第二位天使接着说: “倾倒了! 大巴比伦倾倒了! 它曾经叫列国喝它淫乱烈怒的酒. ”

又有第三位天使接着他们大声说: “如果有人拜兽和兽像, 又在自己的额上或手上受了记号,

14:10 he himself also will drink of the wine of the anger of God that has been mixed full strength in the cup of his wrath, and will be tortured with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
他就必定喝神烈怒的酒: 这酒是斟在神震怒的杯中, 纯一不杂的. 他必定在众天使和羊羔面前, 在火与硫磺之中受痛苦.

14:11 And the smoke of their torture went up forever and ever, and those who worshiped the beast and his image did not have rest day and night, along with anyone who received the mark of his name.
他们受痛苦的烟往上冒, 直到永永远远. 那些拜兽和兽像的, 以及接受它名字的记号的人, 日夜得不到安息. ”

14:12 Here is the patient endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.
在这里, 那些遵守神的命令和耶稣的信仰的圣徒, 要有忍耐.

14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “in order that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow after them.”
我听见从天上有声音说: “你要写下来! 从今以后, 那在主里死去的人有福了! ”圣灵说: “是的, 他们脱离自己的劳苦, 得享安息了, 他们的作为也随着他们. ”

14:14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud was seated one like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
我又观看, 见有一片白云, 云上坐着一位好像人子的, 头上戴着金冠, 手里拿着锋利的镰刀.

14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud, “Send out your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe!”
有另一位天使从圣所出来, 对那坐在云上的大声呼喊: “伸出你的镰刀来收割吧! 因为收割的时候已经到了, 地上的庄稼已经熟透了. ”

14:16 And the one seated on the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
于是那坐在云上的向地上挥动镰刀, 地上的庄稼就被收割了.

14:17 And another angel came out of the temple that is in heaven; he also had a sharp sickle.
又有另一位天使从天上的圣所出来, 他也拿着一把锋利的镰刀.

14:18 And another angel who had authority over the fire went out from the altar, and he called out with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send out your sharp sickle and harvest the clusters of grapes from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are at their prime!”
接着, 又有一位天使从祭坛那里出来, 是有权柄掌管火的; 他向那拿着锋利镰刀的天使大声说: “伸出你锋利的镰刀来, 收取地上葡萄树累累的果子吧! 因为葡萄已经熟透了. ”

14:19 And the angel swung his sickle into the earth and harvested the vine of the earth, and threw the grapes into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
于是, 那天使向地上挥动镰刀, 收取了地上的葡萄, 把葡萄扔在神烈怒的大压酒池里.

14:20 And the winepress was stomped outside the city, and blood went out from the winepress up to the bridles of the horses, about one thousand six hundred stadia.
那压酒池在城外被踹踏, 就有血从压酒池流出来, 涨到马的嚼环那么高, 流到三百公里(“三百公里”原文作“一千六百司他町”)那么远.

我又看见好像有一个搀杂着火的玻璃海; 也看见那些胜过了兽,兽像, 以及兽名的数字的人. 他们都站在玻璃海上, 拿着神的琴.

他们唱着神仆人摩西的歌和羊羔的歌, 说: “主啊! 全能的神, 你的作为又伟大又奇妙! 万国的王啊, 你的道路又公义又真实!

15:4 Who would never fear, Lord, and glorify your name? For only you are holy, because all the nations will come and worship before you, because your righteous deeds have been revealed.”
主啊! 谁敢不敬畏你, 不荣耀你的名呢? 因为只有你是神圣的, 万国都要来, 在你面前下拜, 因为你公义的作为已经显明出来了. ”

15:5 And after these things I looked, and the temple, the tent of the testimony in heaven, was opened,
这些事以后, 我观看, 见天上安放约柜(“约柜”原文作“见证的柜”)的帐幕的圣所开了.

因着神的荣耀和大能, 圣所中充满了烟, 在那七位天使降完七灾以前, 没有人能进入圣所.

拿着七碗的七位天使中, 有一位来跟我讲话, 说: “你来, 我要把那坐在众水之上的大淫妇所要受的审判指示你.

17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who live on the earth became drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
地上的众王都跟她行过淫, 住在地上的人也都喝她淫乱的酒醉了. ”

17:3 And he carried me away into the wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
我在灵里被天使带到旷野去, 看见一个妇人, 骑着朱红色的兽, 这兽布满了亵渎的名号, 有七头十角.

她额上写着一个名号: “奥秘, 大巴比伦, 地上的淫妇和可憎的物之母. ”

17:6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. And I was greatly astonished when I saw her.
我又看见那妇人喝圣徒的血, 和那为耶稣作见证的人的血, 喝醉了. 我看见了她, 就大大惊奇.

17:7 And the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that has the seven heads and the ten horns that carries her.
天使对我说: “你为什么惊奇呢? 我要把这妇人的奥秘, 和驮着她的那七头十角的兽的奥秘告诉你.

17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is going to come up from the abyss, and he is going to destruction. And those who live on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present.
你看见的那兽, 先前在,现今不在,将来要从无底坑上来, 然后走向灭亡. 住在世上的人, 凡是名字在创世以来没有记在生命册上的, 看见了那先前在,现今不在,将来还要出现的兽, 就都要惊奇.

17:10 Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and whenever he comes it is necessary for him to remain a short time.

你看见的那十角, 就是十王, 他们还没有取得王权; 但要跟兽一同得着权柄, 作王一个时期.

17:13 These have one opinion, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
他们同心合意, 把自己的权力权柄交给那兽.

17:14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
他们要跟羊羔作战, 羊羔必胜过他们, 因为他是万主之主, 万王之王. 那些与羊羔同在,蒙召,被选,有忠心的, 也必胜过他们. ”

天使又对我说: “你所看见那淫妇坐着的众水, 就是多种民族,群众,邦国, 方言的人.

你看见的那妇人, 就是有权统治地上的众王的那座大城. ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 18

18:1 After these things I saw another angel descending from heaven, who had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
这些事以后, 我看见有另一位掌大权柄的天使, 从天上降下来, 他的荣光照亮了大地.

18:2 And he cried out with a powerful voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and it has become a dwelling place of demons and a haunt of every unclean spirit and a haunt of every unclean bird and a haunt of every unclean and detested animal.
他用强有力的声音呼喊说: “倾倒了! 大巴比伦倾倒了! 成了鬼魔的住处, 各样污灵的监狱, 一切污秽可憎之雀鸟的牢笼,

18:3 For all the nations have drunk from the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her sensuality.”
因为各国都喝她淫乱烈怒的酒醉了; 地上的君王与她行淫, 世上的商人因她奢华挥霍就发了财. ”

18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out from her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins, and so that you will not receive her plagues,
我听见另一个声音从天上来, 说: “出来吧! 我的子民, 要从那城出来, 免得在她的罪上有分, 受她所受的灾难;

18:5 because her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
因为她的罪恶滔天, 神已经想起她的不义来.

18:6 Pay back to her as she herself also paid out, and pay back double according to her deeds; in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.
她怎样待人, 你们也要怎样待她; 照着她所作的, 加倍报应她; 用她调酒的杯, 加倍调给她.

18:7 As much as she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give to her so much torment and mourning, because in her heart she said, ‘I sit as a queen, and am not a widow, and I will never see mourning!’
她怎样炫耀自己, 怎样奢华挥霍, 你们也要怎样给她痛苦悲哀. 因为她心里常常说: ‘我坐着作女王, 我不是寡妇, 决不会看见悲哀. ’

18:8 Because of this her plagues will come in one day— death and mourning and famine— and she will be burned up with fire, because the Lord God who passes judgment on her is powerful!”
因此, 在一日之内她的灾难必然来到, 就是死亡,悲哀和饥荒; 她还要在火中被烧掉, 因为审判她的主神是大有能力的.

18:9 And the kings of the earth will weep and mourn over her, those who committed sexual immorality and lived sensually with her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
“地上的众王, 就是跟她一同行邪淫,骄奢无度的, 看见焚烧她的烟的时候, 就必为她痛哭捶胸.

18:10 standing far off because of the fear of her torment, saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon the powerful city, because in one hour your judgment has come!”
他们因为害怕她所受的痛苦, 就远远地站着, 说: ‘有祸了! 有祸了! 这大城, 巴比伦, 这坚固的城啊! 一时之间你的审判就来到了! ’

18:11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo any more—
“地上的商人也为她悲哀痛哭, 因为没有人再买他们的货物:

18:12 cargo of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple cloth and silk and scarlet cloth and all kinds of scented wood and all kinds of ivory goods and all kinds of goods of precious wood and bronze and iron and marble
就是金,银,宝石,珍珠; 细麻布,紫色布,丝绸,朱红色布; 各样香木, 各样象牙制品, 各样极贵重的木器,铜器,铁器,大理石制品;

肉桂,豆蔻,香料,香膏,乳香; 酒,油,面粉,麦子; 牛,羊,马,车,奴仆,人口.

18:14 “And the fruit your soul desires has departed from you, and all the luxury and the splendor has perished from you, and they will never find them any more.”
你所贪恋的果子离开你了! 一切珍馐美味,华丽的美物, 都从你那里消失, 再也找不到了!

18:15 The merchants of these things, who became rich from them, will stand far off, weeping and mourning because of the fear of her torment,
贩卖这些货物, 借着她发了财的商人, 因为害怕她受的痛苦, 就远远地站着, 痛哭悲哀,

18:16 saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, dressed in fine linen and purple cloth and scarlet cloth, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls,
说: ‘有祸了! 有祸了! 这大城啊! 就是一向穿着细麻布,紫色,朱红色的衣服, 佩戴着金子,宝石和珍珠装饰的,

18:17 because in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!” And every shipmaster and every seafarer and sailors and all those who labor on the sea stood far off
一时之间, 这么大的财富竟荡然无存! ’”所有船长,旅客,水手, 以及凡是靠海谋生的, 都远远地站着.

18:18 and began to cry out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, “Who is like the great city?”
他们看见了焚烧她的烟, 就喊叫说: ‘有哪一座城能与这大城相比呢? ’

18:19 And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, in which all those who had ships on the sea became rich from her prosperity, because in one hour she has been laid waste!”
他们又把尘土撒在自己头上, 痛哭悲哀, 喊着说: ‘有祸了! 有祸了! 这大城啊! 凡是有船航行海上的, 都因这城的财宝发了财; 一时之间她竟成了荒场! ’

18:20 Rejoice over her, heaven and the saints and the apostles and the prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment on her!”
天哪, 你要因她欢喜! 众圣徒,众使徒,众先知啊, 你们也要因她欢喜! 因为神已经在她身上为你们伸了冤. ”

18:21 And one powerful angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “In this way Babylon the great city will be thrown down with violence, and will never be found again!
有一位大力的天使, 把一块好像大磨石一样的石头, 举起来拋在海里, 说: “巴比伦大城也必这样被猛力地拋下去, 决不能再找到了!

18:22 And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters will never be heard in you again! And every craftsman of every trade will never be found in you again! And the sound of a mill will never be heard in you again!
弹琴,奏乐,吹笛,吹号的声音, 在你中间决不能再听到了! 各样手艺技工, 在你中间决不能再找到了! 推磨的声音, 在你中间决不能再听到了!

18:23 And the light of a lamp will never shine in you again! And the sound of a bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again! For your merchants were the most important people of the earth, because with your sorcery they deceived all the nations.
灯的亮光, 在你中间决不能再照耀了! 新郎新娘的声音, 在你中间决不能再听到了! 你的商人一向都是地上的大人物, 万国都因你的邪术受了迷惑.

18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints and all those who had been slaughtered on the earth.
先知,圣徒和地上一切被杀的人的血, 都在这城里找到了! ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 19

19:1 After these things I heard something like the loud sound of a great crowd in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
这些事以后, 我听见天上好像有一大群人大声说: “哈利路亚! 救恩,荣耀,权能都属于我们的神,

19:2 because his judgments are true and righteous, because he has passed judgment on the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and has avenged the blood of his slaves shed by her hand!”
因为他的审判是真实公义的. 他审判了那大淫妇, 那以淫乱败坏了世界的; 并且为他的仆人向淫妇伸了流血的冤. ”

他们再一次说: “哈利路亚! 烧淫妇的烟往上冒, 直到永永远远! ”

接着有声音从宝座发出来, 说: “所有神的仆人哪! 凡是敬畏他的, 无论大小, 你们都应当赞美我们的神! ”

我们要欢喜快乐, 把荣耀归给他! 因为羊羔的婚期到了; 他的新娘也自己预备好了.

19:8 And it has been granted to her that she be dressed in bright, clean fine linen (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).
并且有光洁的细麻衣, 赐给她穿上; 这细麻衣就是圣徒的义行. ”

19:9 And he said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet of the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
天使对我说: “你要写下来: ‘被邀请赴羊羔婚筵的人有福了! ’”他又对我说: “这都是神真实的话. ”

19:10 And I fell down before his feet to worship him, and he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
我就俯伏在天使脚前要拜他. 但他对我说: “千万不可以这样! 我和你, 以及你那些为耶稣作见证的弟兄, 都是同作仆人的. 你应当敬拜神! 因为预言的精义, 就是耶稣的见证. ”

19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and the one seated on it was called “Faithful” and “True,” and with justice he judges and makes war.
我观看, 见天开了. 有一匹白马, 那骑马的称为“忠信”和“真实”; 他按着公义审判和作战.

19:15 And out of his mouth came a sharp sword, so that with it he could strike the nations. And he will shepherd them with an iron rod, and he stomps the winepress of the wine of the furious wrath of God, the All-Powerful.
有一把利剑从他口中吐出来, 他要用这剑击打列国, 他必用铁杖治理他们; 并且还要踹全能神烈怒的压酒池.

我看见那兽和地上的众王, 以及他们的众军, 都集合起来, 要跟那骑白马的和他的众军作战.

其余的人都被那位骑白马的口中所吐出来的剑杀了. 所有飞鸟都吃饱了他们的肉.

20:2 And he seized the dragon—the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan—and bound him for a thousand years,
他捉住了那龙, 那古蛇, 就是魔鬼, 撒但, 把它捆绑了一千年.

20:3 and threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it above him, in order that he could not deceive the nations again until the thousand years are completed. After these things it is necessary for him to be released for a short time.
天使把它拋在无底坑里, 关起来, 封上印, 使它不能再迷惑列国, 等到那一千年完了. 以后, 必须暂时释放它.

20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat down on them, and authority to judge was granted to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand, and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
我又看见一些宝座, 有人坐在上面, 他们得了审判的权柄. 我也看见那些因为替耶稣作见证, 并且因为神的道而被斩首的人的灵魂. 他们没有拜过兽或兽像, 也没有在额上或手上受过兽的记号. 他们都复活了, 与基督一同作王一千年.

20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.) This is the first resurrection.
其余的死人还没有复活, 等到那一千年完了. 这是头一次的复活.

20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. Over this person the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.
在头一次复活有分的人是有福的,圣洁的, 第二次的死没有能力辖制他们. 他们还要作神和基督的祭司, 与他一同作王一千年.

20:7 And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison
那一千年完了, 撒但就要从监牢里被释放出来.

20:8 and he will go out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to assemble them for battle, whose number is like the sand of the sea.
他要出来迷惑地上四方的列国, 就是高革和玛高革, 使他们聚集争战. 他们的人数好像海边的沙那么多.

20:9 And they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the fortified camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and consumed them.
他们上来遍满了全地, 围住了圣徒的营和那蒙爱的城, 就有火从天上降下来, 毁灭了他们.

20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet also are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
那迷惑他们的魔鬼, 被拋在硫磺的火湖里, 就是兽和假先知所在的地方. 他们必昼夜受痛苦, 直到永永远远.

20:11 And I saw a great white throne and the one who was seated on it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled, and a place was not found for them.
我又看见一个白色的大宝座, 和坐在上面的那位. 天地都从他面前逃避, 再也看不见了.

20:12 And I saw the dead—the great and the small—standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.
我又看见死了的人, 无论大小, 都站在宝座前. 案卷都展开了, 还有另一卷, 就是生命册, 也展开了. 死了的人都凭着这些案卷所记载的, 照着他们所行的受审判.

20:13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and each one was judged according to their deeds.
于是海把其中的死人交出来, 死亡和阴间也把其中的死人交出来, 他们都照着各人所行的受审判.

20:14 And Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire.
死亡和阴间也被拋在火湖里. 这火湖就是第二次的死.

20:15 And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
凡是名字没有记在生命册上的, 他就被拋在火湖里.

Revelation of John - Chapter 21

21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea did not exist any longer.
我又看见一个新天新地, 因为先前的天地都过去了, 海也再没有了.

21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
我又看见圣城, 新耶路撒冷, 从天上由神那里降下来, 预备好了, 好像打扮整齐等候丈夫的新娘.

21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity, and he will take up residence with them, and they will be his people and God himself will be with them.
我听见有大声音从宝座那里发出来, 说: “看哪! 神的帐幕在人间, 他要与人同住, 他们要作他的子民. 神要亲自与他们同在, 要作他们的神.

21:4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any longer, and mourning or wailing or pain will not exist any longer. The former things have passed away.”
他要抹去他们的一切眼泪, 不再有死亡, 也不再有悲哀,哭号,痛苦, 因为先前的事都过去了. ”

21:5 And the one seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new!” And he said, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”
坐在宝座上的那一位说: “看哪, 我把一切都更新了! ”又说: “你要写下来, 因为这些话是可信的,真实的. ”

21:6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who is thirsty I will give water from the spring of the water of life freely.
他又对我说: “成了! 我是阿拉法, 是俄梅格; 我是创始的, 也是成终的. 我要把生命的泉水, 白白赐给口渴的人喝.

21:7 The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
得胜的, 必要承受这些福分. 我要作他的神, 他要作我的儿子.

21:8 But as for the cowards and unbelievers and detestable persons and murderers and sexually immoral people and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their share is in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
只是那些胆怯的,不信的,可憎的,杀人的,淫乱的,行邪术的,拜偶像的和所有说谎的人, 他们的分是在烧着硫磺的火湖里. 这就是第二次的死. ”

21:9 And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
拿着七个盛满着末后七灾的碗的七位天使中, 有一位走来对我说: “你来! 我要把新娘, 就是羊羔的妻子, 指示你. ”

21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
我在灵里被那天使带到一座高大的山上, 他把从天上由神那里降下来的圣城耶路撒冷指示我.

21:11 that has the glory of God. Its radiance is like a precious stone, something like a jasper stone, shining like crystal.
这城有神的荣耀, 城的光辉好像极贵的宝石, 又像晶莹的碧玉.

21:12 It has a great and high wall that has twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on the gates which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel—
有高大的城墙, 有十二个门, 门口有十二位天使, 门上写着以色列十二支派的名字.

21:13 on the east, three gates, and on the north, three gates, and on the south, three gates, and on the west, three gates.
东边有三个门, 南边有三个门, 西边有三个门, 北边有三个门.

21:14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
城墙有十二座根基, 根基上有羊羔的十二使徒的名字.

21:15 And the one who spoke with me was holding a golden measuring rod in order that he could measure the city and its gates and its wall.
那对我说话的天使拿着一根金的芦苇, 要量那城,城门和城墙.

21:16 And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is the same as its width. And he measured the city with the measuring rod at twelve thousand stadia; the length and the width and the height of it are equal.
城是四方的, 长宽都一样. 天使用芦苇量那城, 共有二千四百公里(“二千四百公里”原文作“一万二千司他町”), 城的长,宽,高都一样;

21:17 And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measure, which is the angel’s.
又量了城墙, 约有六十公尺(“六十公尺”原文作“一百四十四肘”). 天使用的标准, 就是人量度的标准.

21:18 And the material of its wall is jasper, and the city is pure gold, similar in appearance to pure glass.
城墙是用碧玉做的, 城是用明净像玻璃的纯金做的.

21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every kind of precious stone: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
城墙的根基是用各样宝石装饰的: 第一座根基是碧玉, 第二座是蓝宝石, 第三座是玛瑙, 第四座是绿宝石,

21:20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
第五座是红玛瑙, 第六座是红宝石, 第七座是黄璧玺, 第八座是水苍玉, 第九座是红璧玺, 第十座是翡翠, 第十一座是紫玛瑙, 第十二座是紫晶.

21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each one of the gates was from a single pearl. And the street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
十二个门是十二颗珍珠, 每一个门是用一颗珍珠做的. 城里的街道是纯金的, 好像透明的玻璃.

21:22 And I did not see a temple in it, for the Lord God All-Powerful is its temple, and the Lamb.
我没有看见城里有圣所, 因为主全能的神和羊羔就是城的圣所.

21:23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon, that they shine on it, for the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
这城不需要日月照明, 因为有神的荣耀照明, 而羊羔就是城的灯.

21:24 And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
列国要借着城的光行走, 地上的众王要把他们的荣华带到这城来.

21:25 And its gates will never be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
城门白天决不关闭. 在那里并没有黑夜.

21:26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
列国的荣华尊贵都被带到这城.

21:27 And every unclean thing and one who practices detestable things and falsehood will never enter into it, except those who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
所有不洁净的,行可憎的和说谎的, 决不可以进入这城. 只有名字记在羊羔生命册上的才可以进去.

Revelation of John - Chapter 22

22:1 And he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb
天使又指示我一道明亮如水晶的生命水的河流, 从神和羊羔的宝座那里流出来,

22:2 in the middle of its street, and on both sides of the river is the tree of life, producing twelve fruits—yielding its fruit according to every month—and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
经过城里的街道. 河的两边有生命树, 结十二次果子, 每月都结果子; 树叶可以医治列国.

22:3 And there will not be any curse any longer, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his slaves will serve him,
所有咒诅都不再有了. 城里有神和羊羔的宝座, 他的仆人都要事奉他,

22:4 and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
也要见他的面. 他的名字必写在他们的额上.

22:5 And night will not exist any longer, and they will not have need of the light of a lamp and the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give light to them, and they will reign forever and ever.
不再有黑夜了, 他们也不需要灯光或日光了, 因为主神要光照他们. 他们要作王, 直到永永远远.

22:6 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true, and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his slaves the things which must take place in a short time.”
天使对我说: “这些话是可信的,真实的! 主, 就是众先知之灵的神, 差遣了他的天使, 把那快要发生的事, 指示他的仆人. ”

22:7 “And behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
“看哪! 我必快来! 那遵守这书上预言的人是有福的! ”

22:8 And I, John, am the one who heard and who saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed these things to me.
听见又看见了这些事的, 就是我约翰. 我听见又看见了之后, 就俯伏在指示我这些事的天使脚前要拜他.

22:9 And he said to me, “Do not do that! I am your fellow slave, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
他对我说: “千万不可以这样! 我和你, 以及你的弟兄众先知, 还有那些遵守这书上的话的人, 都是同作仆人的. 你应当敬拜神. ”

22:10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near!
他又对我说: “不要封住这书上的预言, 因为时候近了.

22:11 The one who does evil, let him do evil still, and the defiled, let him be defiled still, and the righteous, let him practice righteousness still, and the holy, let him be holy still.”
不义的, 要他仍旧不义; 污秽的, 要他仍旧污秽; 行义的, 要他仍旧行义; 圣洁的, 要他仍旧圣洁. ”

22:12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to repay each one according to what his deeds are!
“看哪, 我必快来! 赏赐在我, 我要照着各人所行的报应他.

22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
我是阿拉法, 是俄梅格; 我是首先的, 也是末后的; 我是创始的, 也是成终的. ”

22:14 Blessed are the ones who wash their robes, so that their authority will be over the tree of life and they may enter into the city through the gates.
那些洗净自己袍子的人是有福的! 他们可以有权到生命树那里, 也可以从门进到城里.

22:15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral people and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and who practices falsehood.
在城外, 有那些狗, 那些行邪术的,淫乱的,杀人的,拜偶像的, 以及所有喜爱说谎的和实行说谎的人.

22:16 “I, Jesus, sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
“差遣了我的使者,为众教会向你们证明这些事的, 就是我耶稣. 我是大卫的根, 又是他的后裔, 我是明亮的晨星. ”

22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the one who hears, let him say, “Come!” And the one who is thirsty, let him come. The one who wants, let him take the water of life freely.
圣灵和新娘都说: “来! ”听见的人也要说: “来! ”口渴的人也要来! 愿意的人都要白白接受生命的水!

22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book.
我警告所有听见这书上预言的人: 如果有人在这些预言上加添什么, 神必把写在这书上的灾难加在他身上.

22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and from the holy city that are written in this book.
如果有人从这书上的预言删减什么, 神必从这书上所记的生命树和圣城删去他的分.

22:20 The one who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
证明这些事的那一位说: “是的, 我必快来! ”阿们! 主耶稣啊, 请你来吧!

22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
愿主耶稣的恩惠与所有的圣徒同在! 阿们!
